Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Chapter 700 Drinking poison to quench thirst

Lu Desheng continued, "I have sent a message to Wang Dong to ask him to use his strength."

Lu Songli: I believe that with the efforts of Wang Dong and others, Xie Zhan's reputation can be compared with that of the evil concubine who brought disaster to the country.

Wang Dong's group is really useful.

To support the naval force headed by Wang Dong, this line of expenditure costs a lot every year. We still don’t know how much funding there is for this year. If not, we need to allocate some more funds.

During this period, boxes of loot were returned from the front line, which greatly filled the Pingzhou treasury.

After saying this, Lu Desheng took a sip of tea contentedly and said, "I don't believe it. Can Xie Zhan escape from such a dead situation?"

Lu Desheng felt that this time the dragnet was drawn against Xie Zhan, would he still have a way to survive?

Now as long as Song Mo nods, Xie Zhan will be killed.

Lu Songli nodded, confirming his suspicion, "It stands to reason that Xie Zhan can't avoid it—"

Lu Desheng interrupted her willfully, "Okay, okay, that's all. I don't want to hear any buts."

Lu Songli laughed, but there may be exceptions to everything, this is a fact. So, it’s good to do your best, listen to fate, and lower your expectations a little.

But since her father wanted Xie Zhan to die so much, let her think about how to seal Xie Zhan's way of life.

Lu Songli took the opportunity to drink tea and pondered, if she were Xie Zhan, where would the way out be?

Xie Zhan's way out lies in Song Mo's thoughts.

If Xie Zhan wants to live, he must let Song Mo see his value.

Only when the value provided by Xie Zhan is higher than the value of protecting him, Song Mo will be willing to protect him.

At this time, Song Mo's worries are, for now, nothing more than powerful foreign invaders - Pingzhou and Xianbei. To put it more bluntly, it is Pingzhou.

So, what trump cards does Xie Zhan have, or what effective methods and means do he have to deal with Pingzhou and prevent the spread of the war?

Xue Xu, like Lu Desheng, was very optimistic, "Xie Zhan, it's just a turtle in a urn, why do you care? Let's see what kind of explanation Dali will give Pingzhou. If we are not satisfied, we will give them the explanation. Until we are satisfied.”

“Mr.

Hearing this, Lu Songli's heart moved, Mr. Xue? Slang clan! Thinking of this, her expression changed slightly.

At present, if force is used, Dali cannot defeat Pingzhou. If there is anything else that can threaten Pingzhou, it is the Li clan alone in the south.

Xie Zhan knew Xue Xu's identity from the beginning, and there was no guarantee that the other party would not use the Li clan to threaten Xue Xu, and thus Pingzhou.

"Mr. Xue, Xie Zhan may persuade Song Mo to take action against the Li clan."

"He dares?" Hearing this, Xue Xu was shocked and angry.

Xie Zhan is facing a critical situation, and as long as he can break it, there is nothing he dares to do.

"If you're not afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst." Lu Songli said calmly, and then she suggested, "Mr. Xue, can you go back this time?"

Xue Xu immediately agreed, "Yes, I have to go back!" If he doesn't do it right, this is a matter of life and death for the Li clan.

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Xue, you'd better go back. Using the Li clan to threaten Pingzhou is something Xie Zhan can do." Lu Desheng also agreed.

"I will mobilize a team to follow you back to the south later, and arrange for Lin Shan to send you off." Lu Songli explained her arrangements one by one, "I will ask General Qin Sheng to lead his troops there later."

The Jintai Army led by Qin Sheng was more suitable for jungle field battles. Yue Shu had just led his troops to capture the territory of the Sushen tribe, which just allowed him and Qin Sheng to switch defenses.

This arrangement made Xue Xu very heart-warming, "Thank you, governor."

Lu Songli waved her hand, "No need to say thank you. Although the Li people do not live in Pingzhou, they are still our people in Pingzhou. It is Pingzhou's responsibility to protect them."

Before setting off, Lu Songli had someone equip them with all the equipment.

Chang'an, Imperial Palace

After that day, Song Mo kept saying he was ill and refused to go to court.

But the ministers who were concerned about the country and the people knelt directly outside Song Mo's bedroom.

"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. Now the Pingzhou army has captured the entire Jizhou. If it continues, Dali will only lose more cities and land. We must give Pingzhou an explanation as soon as possible."

The ministers urged the emperor to make a decision, give Pingzhou an explanation as soon as possible, and then calm down the war.

The public opinion is also boiling, and the demand for the disposal of Xie Zhan, the military commander, is getting louder and louder.

Especially in the area of ​​Jizhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou where the war is ongoing, the people are least willing to experience war. Now that they know that Pingzhou started the war, just to get an explanation, everyone hopes that the emperor will deal with Xie Zhan, the culprit, and restore peace to the world. . For this reason, someone spontaneously organized and prepared a copy of the Book of All Nations and asked the parents to hand it over to the present day. There is more than one such book of all peoples.

All the pressure was on Song Mo.

At this time, Song Mo was kneeling down to worship his ancestors in the Fengxian Hall.

In front of Song Mo, there was a letter.

In the letter, Xie Zhan requested that he be dismissed from his official position and placed under house arrest, so as to give Pingzhou an explanation.

If that doesn't work, he is willing to die to apologize.

... Now Pingzhou is relying on the power of explosives to intimidate the emperor. The emperor does not need to be in trouble. The humble ministers are naturally willing to sacrifice. They are very happy to be able to share the emperor's worries with their broken bodies and solve the problems for Da Li.

It's just that Wei Chen is worried. After Wei Chen, if Pingzhou comes again, who will be able to offer sacrifices?

It should be noted that the ambition of Pingzhou will not stop Dali from being destroyed.

Something never appears out of thin air. Weichen has found some clues about Pingzhou Gunpowder. I will keep the specific information at home, and when the minister leaves, the emperor will send someone to take over.

In addition, Wei Chen has ordered the Southern Army to go to western Guangdong to arrest the Li people. If everything goes well, the emperor will have a basis to negotiate with Pingzhou.

Please forgive me for your transgression. This is the last thing I can do for your Majesty and Dali.

In addition, Xie Zhan also wrote about his worries about the aristocratic family...

It's a pity that Wei Chen has no time to worry about the emperor anymore.

At the end of the letter, Xie Zhan wrote: Thousands of words will eventually come to an end. Please take care of yourself, Your Majesty.

Song Mo put away the letter, offered a stick of incense to his ancestors, and finally knelt in front of the late emperor's tablet.

"My son knows that Xie Zhan is not a good person."

Song Mo didn't know how to use Xie Zhan, which was like drinking poison to quench his thirst, but he had to use it. If Xie Zhan is a problem in his elbows and armpits, then Pingzhou Lu Songli is a serious problem in his heart.

The lesser of two evils, and furthermore, the grievances between the two make them destined to be unable to unite, then the enemy of the enemy is a friend.

Furthermore, many of the ministers who served him in the past did not end well. This is also quite criticized, and he is said to be mean and ungrateful...

In fact, he doesn't care about any of this. What he cares about is the Song family's world.

Since Song Mo ascended the throne, he has also realized that although he is rich all over the world, he still has few top talents. Taking a darker guess, Pingzhou is so eager to get rid of Xie Zhan, why isn't he afraid of him?

The most important thing is that he knows very well what his own body is like.

It was a helpless move to protect Xie Zhan. He had to leave some important ministers for Dali's country.

Dali can have powerful ministers in power, relatives in power, or even empty kings. Xie Zhan can be Huo Guang, Dou Xian, or Liang Ji. As long as he does not seek to usurp the throne, as long as he can control Dali. Just keep this structure going.
