Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 490 Ferocious beasts
In the middle of the night, in the room, Sun Yue and Murong Yan were fierce.

Murong Yan was tortured several times by Sun Yue, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she had to ask for forgiveness.

"Husband, can't sleep because of the battle situation?"

Murong Yan is also self-aware. After all, she is much older than Sun Yue. She is already in her early thirties this year, and is older than the Fu family. Although she is still beautiful with good care, she cannot reach the level of an immortal. , the relationship between husband and wife is pretty good, but physically she is no longer as attractive as a young woman. She usually acts coy and coy as if she is paying for public wages. Today, since she is uncharacteristic of herself, something is obviously wrong.

"It's all right."

"Husband is thinking about the peace proposal of the Empress Dowager Liao, but hesitating?"

Sun Yue turned over and sat up. At this time, he especially wanted to light a cigarette, but it was a pity that Song Dynasty didn't have it.

"You said that if I accept their peace now, I will win this battle."

"The Liao army said they surrendered, so why can't it be considered a victory?"

"Fuck you, just say it nicely to save face. With such a great national power, how can you really admit it like this? This is a national humiliation to him. A hatred that cannot be washed away by generations. This time, if we can’t take the opportunity to take down Gubeikou and reconstruct the natural dangers of the Great Wall, it will only take one generation. After 30 years, the Liao Kingdom will recover and take Youyan back anyway. At that time, it will be endless war."

"But the Great Wall's natural danger is just as important to Khitan. I think the Empress Dowager Liao is a ruthless person. Even if she dies on the Great Wall, she won't let you take her away. On the contrary, how much determination does Song Dynasty have in this battle? Taking back the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are already satisfied, and even the supplies for us are unwilling. If it weren't for me and Lao Han, I am afraid that the army would have been short of food for a long time. Our soldiers are actually veterans who are tired and don't want to fight anymore."

Sun Yue smiled and said: "I can tell, you mean to persuade me to accept it as soon as I get it, don't you want to fight?"

Murong Yan stuck out her tongue and said: "Yes, Lao Han and I really couldn't hold on anymore, you didn't see, Lao Han was so tired that he fell asleep on the chair yesterday, he was not yet forty, the two days In the past few months, the gray hair has grown by more than [-]%."

Sun Yue frowned and said, "Semuren has an opinion?"

"Oh, it's not just the Semu people. There are already opinions within the company. Now that Yanyun is down, their interests are tangible. On the contrary, it is Gubeikou. What do you mean by a century-old foundation? It's too far away. No, few are really interested. Now let them cooperate with the army to transport and logistics. It is purely for money. You may not know it. Salt, you have to wait for half a year. You are not a person who doesn’t understand business operations. No matter what kind of wealth you have, you can’t bear the money pledged for half a year.”

Sun Yue smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy for you over there in Jizhou either."

"Yes, as soon as this battle was fought, more than half of the business in Jizhou City stopped. With such a large population, eating and drinking became a problem. For the support of everyone in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, you are fine, but now in Youzhou After the fight, there were... some bad voices came out, and now the people below are spreading that it was you who procrastinated to prevent the war from ending. "

Sun Yue sighed, and said helplessly: "Everything has its advantages and its disadvantages. I have been relying on these military officials and businessmen for so many years. I don't want to be persecuted by them now."

"The 'company' was built by your father and son and Lao Han, but after all, it is not yours. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers under him really admire you now, but in the final analysis, they are not yours, husband, what you have done recently Getting more and more domineering, isn't it a bit too unscrupulous? It's not that I don't understand the dangers of courts. Now our family really has the capital to run wild. Whether it's officials or Cao Bin, we don't need to pay attention to it. , but there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."

Sun Yue smiled more bitterly and said: "You are almost scolding me now, what else should you say?"

"My husband, there is a saying that you often say, arrogant soldiers drive away commanders, and strong generals drive away kings. There are arrogant soldiers first, and then there are strong generals. In fact, everything our family has now was not given by the court, but It was given by the merchants and soldiers below. The soldiers don't care whether you are loyal to the court or not, and the merchants don't care whether you are benevolent and righteous. As long as you can satisfy their interests, you will be their leader. Feng Li Yuli is willing to follow our family, but once we are not satisfied, and even go the opposite direction, kindness or loyalty, how much money is it worth? Back then, Taizu wore a yellow robe, so it was not difficult to tell the truth from the false. "

Sun Yue said gloomyly: "You mean, if I continue to fight this battle, they will turn against me? They don't even think about who led them to live a good life, who gave them the formation of the new army, Who gave them stocks, who asked them..."

"It's useless. My husband understands human nature better than I do. You taught me these principles. Think about it yourself."

"........."

"Husband, your ass is sitting crookedly. You should think about the soldiers, the capital out of silver, and the stock of the 'company'. The court, the officials, the peace of later generations, and even the country, what have they got to do with them? What about the relationship? Husband, do you know that the company's stock has fallen this month?"

Sun Yue sighed helplessly, a deep feeling of powerlessness welling up in his heart.

After all, he is a human being, not a god.

In fact, this kind of thing is the same as the company in later generations. When the company makes money, the boss is right. If you are willing to share a little more, everyone will be grateful to Dade, but when the company loses money, the boss doesn’t pay wages?No matter how many extra bonuses were paid last year, if you don't spend for three months, you will be guaranteed to resign.

"Why do I feel that I have been kidnapped by the capital now? Obviously I want to fight, but they want to stop, and I have to listen to them."

"Yes."

"I was thinking, you said, if I lost this battle, would they have turned against me long ago?"

"Well...if I lose badly, I'm afraid I will."

Sun Yue took a serious look at Murong Yan, and suddenly said: "But in this world, how can there be a real victorious general? Although I have never lost, how can I guarantee that I will always win?"

"Ugh……"

"I personally fed a wild beast, riding it is always beneficial, but once I can no longer feed it, it will turn around and eat me, and now, this beast is already a little hungry, just because of my power Shang Zai is still barely obedient, that’s what it means.”

"........."

"Why do I suddenly feel that this right is a bit hot?"
