"Haha!" Song Shenzong raised his head to the sky and laughed happily, opening his mouth to the boss, not caring about the emperor's majesty at all. He was not only laughing, but also hugging Wang Anshi tightly in his arms, like an excited child, pounding Wang Anshi's shoulders and shouting: "Jiefu, Zhuozhou has been recovered! Zhuozhou has been recovered! Do you know? What I think day and night is to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Zhuozhou has been recovered, not far from recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!"

"Congratulations to the official family! Congratulations to the official family!" Wang Anshi was so excited that he burst into tears.

Wang Anshi was worried about the attack on Zhuozhou and was looking forward to victory every moment. For this reason, he was not worried about food and sat like a wooden carving. Now that the news of victory was heard, how could he not be excited?

Shao Jiu's eyes widened, looked at the king and his ministers for a while, and then looked at Empress Dowager Cao and the others, and was surprised to appear on his face. Empress Dowager Cao and Empress Dowager Gao opened their mouths to the queen and the other two, stunned, without saying a word, but just watched the king and his ministers play with each other.

The persuasion of the people was distracted. It was originally the petrochemical process of Emperor Shenzong of Song and Wang Anshi, but now it is Empress Dowager Cao, Empress Gao, and Empress Xiang. Emperor Shenzong of Song and Wang Anshi were full of joy and comfort. He opened his mouth and was only concerned about joy and ignored Empress Dowager Cao and the other two.

"Jiefu, Zhuozhou has been recovered, and the days for Youzhou to recover are not far away!" Song Shenzong was extremely excited and suddenly saw Empress Dowager Cao and the other two, and was surprised: "Grandmother, Queen Mother, why are you born?"

"Me?" Empress Dowager Cao woke up and looked at Song Shenzong, saying dissatisfiedly: "Official family, why did you have a baby? She has no mind all day long, does not eat or drink, and is not afraid of damage to the dragon body?"

"Grandma, please rest assured. Look, grandson is not very good." Song Shenzong was overjoyed and was full of energy. He was not like someone who hadn't eaten for a long time.

"Xu'er, tell my grandmother, where did you sing? What happened to the cheers all over the city?" Empress Dowager Cao had already heard the cheers of the sky clearly and knew that Zhuozhou had been recovered. Although this was a good thing, for her, it was too sudden and she had not figured out what was going on.

"Haha!" Song Shenzong first made a series of laughter and helped Empress Dowager Cao and said, "Grandfather, sit down first and let grandson tell you in detail."

Holding Empress Dowager Cao down, then holding Empress Dowager Gao down, Song Shenzong then stood in front of Empress Dowager Cao and said with a smile: "Grandma, you already know that Zhuozhou has been recovered! This is a great joy!"

"Yes!" Empress Dowager Cao said with joy on her face: "It is certainly a happy event to recover Zhuozhou. However, she is confused. Why did the news of Zhuozhou's recovery come after the New Year."

"Grandmother, what's so strange about this?" Song Shenzong said happily: "How can you not receive the good news in the New Year?"

"A big war?" Not only was Empress Dowager Cao shocked, but also Empress Gao, Empress Xiang, and Shao Jiu were shocked. How could they have thought of it?

"Who chose this time? It's so cruel! No one could have thought!" Empress Dowager Cao stood up in shock, with a round mouth, and a look of shock: "Although Lao Shi does not understand military tactics, Lao Shi has also read some historical books. Since the Three Five Emperors, who has fought in the Great Wall? Who has come up with this idea is enough. Who is the one who has harmed? Is it Wang Shao? Well, not Wang Shao! Although Wang Shao is a famous general, he still can't have thought of such a harm. By the way, is it that Wu Ji?"

Empress Dowager Cao thought for a long time and finally thought of Wu Ji. She was right, the move of using big troops was really hurt, and no one could have thought of it.

"Haha!" Song Shenzong laughed loudly and said, "Grandmother, this war is to attack the enemy at a place that the enemy cannot imagine, time that they cannot imagine, and tactics of war. Choose the Great Day, we can't imagine how Yelu Hongji wants it? This is called unexpected and unprepared attack."

Empress Dowager Cao raised her eyebrows and her face darkened, and she asked, "Xu'er, you haven't told her grandmother yet, who came up with the idea? I really want to know which one came up with such a bad idea!"

"Grandma, you are wise! It was really from Wu Ji." Song Shenzong did not hide it from Empress Dowager Cao. He changed his mind and said kindly to Wu Ji: "Grandma, Wu Ji is a talented person and is very good at fighting! He chose this time so accurately! Looking at the world, no one would want it!"

"What are you going to defend him? I'm not disgusted with him." Empress Dowager Cao was a little funny, and her joy on her face became even more serious. She pondered: "It's certainly good to recover Zhuozhou, but if Yelu Hongji counterattacked, it would definitely be extremely fierce. Conquering Zhuozhou is just the beginning, and the battle is at the back. What should you do with the official family?"

Empress Dowager Cao was also a shrewd person. She saw through the pros and cons at a glance and reminded Emperor Shenzong of Song.

"Grandma, do you still need to ask? Of course it's a fight!" Song Shenzong was full of confidence, and he turned his fingers and calculated the sect: "Grandma, no matter what, as long as Zhuozhou is defeated, the Song Dynasty will be invincible! It's an invincible place!"

"You are full of words. The war is dangerous, how can there be an invincible statement?" Empress Dowager Cao's face darkened and she was a little displeased: "Xu'er, those who plan for the country should be able to make a plan. Even if Zhuozhou is conquered, no one can say whether the Song Dynasty can win the next battle. You must remember that you must not be arrogant."

She was right. The general who won the victory on the battlefield was not sure whether the Song Dynasty could win the next battle. Even if the Song Dynasty recovered Zhuozhou, no one could tell whether he could win the next battle. Even Wu Ji would not dare to say all the words.

"Hehe!" Song Shenzong still smiled and said, "Grandmother, let your grandson tell me carefully and you will know the truth. It makes sense that the grandson said that the Song Dynasty was invincible. If you take a step back, even if the Song Dynasty is defeated and loses an army of 50,000 or 70,000, the Song Dynasty will not be defeated."

"Well? The loss is so great, it's not a failure? Where do you start?" Empress Dowager Cao became more and more confused as she heard it.

"Grandmother, you have to think so." Song Shenzong continued: "Even if the Song Dynasty fights, it has to retreat. Before the Song Dynasty retreats, it will definitely destroy Zhuozhou City, burn the food and grass here, bring the people who can be taken back to the Song territory, and turn Yanyun into a ruin. In this way, the Liao Kingdom cannot use the power of Yanyun to attack the Song Dynasty as before. Grandmother, you know that Yanyun's land is the core land of the Liao Kingdom. If Yanyun's power is not used, the strength of the Liao Kingdom will be greatly reduced. Yelu Hongji will not be able to launch an attack on the Song Dynasty in a short period of time."

The land of Yanyun is too important to the Liao Kingdom, and is the main source of food and taxation. If it is destroyed by the Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom will have a very sad life and it is impossible to launch a large-scale attack on the Song Dynasty in a short period of time.

"Well! That's right." Empress Dowager Cao nodded slightly: "Besides, if the Song Dynasty lost 50,000 or 70,000 troops, Yelu Hongji would have to pay at least 30,000 to 50,000. After all, the current Song army is no longer the same. They can fight, dare to fight, and it is not a problem to make Yelu Hongji pay 30,000 or 50,000. In addition, more than 56,900 Liao troops have been killed. In other words, even if the Song Dynasty is defeated, Yelu Hongji will lose more than half of the army. With such a large casualty, Yelu Hongji will never be able to launch an attack on the Song Dynasty."

"Come on!" Song Shenzong agreed with this, and with a heavy blow to praise: "Grandmother is wise! In this way, it is impossible for the Liao Kingdom to restore the old view without three to five years. With the strength of the Liao Kingdom, it is worthy of Yelu Hongji. To be precise, it is impossible for the recovery without more than ten years. With such a long time, I can free up my hands and deal with Xixia with peace of mind."

"Well!" Empress Dowager Cao nodded and took over the conversation, "The Song Dynasty has faced the threat from Xixia and Liao for decades, and it is difficult to concentrate its power, which has caused two sides to fight and run away. Among the two countries, Xixia is the weakest, so the Song Dynasty takes Xixia first and then Liao as its national policy. If it is difficult for the Liao Kingdom to launch a large-scale military force in ten years, the Song Dynasty can concentrate its forces against Xixia. Not to mention destroying Xixia, you only need to seize Hengshan and lock Xixia in the northwest. Wang Shao has seized the Xihe land. If Hengshan is captured again, Xixia will be difficult to threaten the Song Dynasty."

This statement is very insightful, which is exactly what Song Shenzong thinks now. It is still cost-effective to exchange 50,000 to 70,000 yuan for more than ten years.

As long as the Hengshan Mountain was captured and the Xixia was locked in the northwest, the Song Dynasty avoided the drawbacks of fighting on both sides and could concentrate its troops to confront a country. If it could invade Youzhou and recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, it would be even more beneficial to the Song Dynasty.

Of course, Empress Dowager Cao thought of a problem, that is, if she recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the status of Song Shenzong would be no one to shake. Song Shenzong would become a saint, and even if she wanted to abolish Song Shenzong, it would be impossible.

She was able to have such a status because she could make Song Shenzong very concerned. If she lost this advantage, her influence would be greatly reduced. However, things have become like this, and she can't stop it even if she wants to stop it.

Just as she was worried about gains and losses, Song Shenzong smiled and said, "Grandmother, today is a happy day! It was the New Year, and there was another good news. It was a joyful thing. We must celebrate it well. The grandson dared to ask the grandmother and his subjects to celebrate this rare happy event together!"

"Me?" Empress Dowager Cao was very surprised. She appeared at this time, which was very popular. She never expected that Song Shenzong would ask her to go.

"My grandmother told her grandson that even if she had leaked the sky, she would dare to send troops to attack Zhuozhou if she had made up for her grandson." Song Shenzong was very sincere and said, "If it weren't for her grandmother, there would be such a grand event. On this festive occasion, she would not have had a grandmother."

Song Shenzong had his own plans. Now, he had the closest relationship with Empress Dowager Cao. If he took this opportunity to completely pull Empress Dowager Cao to his side, then Sima Guang and others would be isolated, which would be of great benefit to the implementation of the new law.
