Chapter 1098

Compared to Su Dongpo, who seemed a little gloating in his mentality, Zhang Shi, as a tycoon of the Privy Council, had a better understanding of the current armed forces of the Song Dynasty.

"If the Liao Kingdom really wants to compete with me, Song Dynasty, can I win?" Emperor Zhao Xu asked, stroking the chin that had gradually grown stubble.

"Your Majesty, I, the Song Dynasty, will surely win the final victory. However, the cranes and clams fight, and the fisherman will benefit..." Zhang Qi stood on the side of the Song Dynasty without hesitation, but he was not optimistic about the outcome after the war.

"Because even if my Song Dynasty wins, it will definitely be a tragic victory. When the power of our Song Dynasty is greatly damaged, the Xixia, which has been eyeing our Song Dynasty, or the foreign dependents around us, will definitely not wait for our Song Dynasty to recuperate and recover."

Su Dongpo couldn't help but nodded with a little ugly look. "Yes, my Song Dynasty has not yet fully pacified the world. Over the years, the military preparations have been relaxed, and the government and the country have been used to being at peace. There are really not many soldiers who can fight."

Emperor Zhao Xu smashed his mouth. "Our army on Shaanxi Road in the Song Dynasty..."

"Your Majesty, the troops from Shaanxi Road and Shaanxi North Road must not be moved lightly." When Zhang Shi heard this, he quickly raised his objection.

"Although our northwestern border army in the Song Dynasty has strong combat power, your majesty, don't forget that although the strength of Western Xia has been greatly damaged, its ambitions are still eyeing the northwest of our Song Dynasty. Moreover, although the Liao army in Hedong Road has lost Xiazhou, the strength of the Liao army in Hedong Road has not been damaged."

"If the northwest border troops are transferred to other places, there will be less and less trouble and more, then the Song Dynasty will have to prepare to lose the entire northern part of Shaanxi North Road and even the Shaanxi Road."

"I understand Zhang Qing's intention. Alas... I, the Song Dynasty, do not have the strength to determine the universe after a battle. It seems that I still need to wait for the opportunity..." Emperor Zhao Xu nodded without regret.

Although he was determined to restore the old land of the Han and Tang dynasties, his current life was still short of power, and it was not a matter of relaxation in the Song Dynasty's martial arts preparations. All of this requires time. Don't worry, he is still young and has time.

Wang Wushan is about the same age as himself, and he still has plenty of time to accumulate strength.

"Let the Ministry of Rites continue to negotiate with the Liao envoy and try to find out the trump card and bottom line of the Liao people. In short, my Song Dynasty is taking the side of the truth this time, so we naturally cannot retreat too much."

Su Dongpo nodded with understanding. "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know what to do."

"As for Zhang Qing, you are ordered to strengthen your vigilance in the border towns and not to give Liao a chance to take advantage of it."

"The Song people's negotiations seemed very tenacious, and we are afraid it will be difficult for the Song people to give in too much." Yelu and Luwu stood in the hall and talked happily.

At this moment, the Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Great Liao Dynasty had already rushed back to the Liao Kingdom to go to Beijing, but he did not expect that he did not wait for good news as he expected.

The Emperor of Song Dynasty seemed very tough and almost refused to give in. Although Yelu Hongji was very angry, he was a little hesitant to order him to invade the south now.

After all, many civil and military officials in the court expressed strong opposition to the attack on Song Dynasty. In a word, the Daliao is really too poor today.

Moreover, the frequent disasters in You and Yan areas were also causing the Liao Dynasty to quell the disaster and appease the people to sacrify the disasters and ease the people. Until this year, he breathed a little slow down.

If you want to take it, the court may not even be able to get one million guan. If you really want to fight across the country, you need to raise military expenses and food first. These are probably not enough to get out of millions of guan.

However, there is no more money in the court, so you can't rob it, right?

Of course, the officials also said that although they could not really promote troops to attack Song, they could still be intimidated by gestures and gestures.

"Your Majesty, I think that now our Great Liao Dynasty is in a difficult time, and disasters are frequent in various places. If we launch a large-scale army to move south, the money and food required by the troops will probably be hollowed out of our Great Liao treasury.

What's more, our Great Liao Dynasty is now unstable. If a large number of troops are transferred to the southern border, there will be a problem in the north.

Therefore, I think that the Song people bullied us too much, and we must give an explanation. Moreover, the Song people invaded our territory and must return it." Yelu and Luwu were real people, so we naturally had to tell the truth.

After all, he sincerely hoped that Daliao could overcome this difficulty safely. Hearing the words of his brothers, Yelu Hongji looked angry, but he nodded helplessly.

Indeed, the Great Liao really has to go to war at all costs today. Unless the Emperor of the Great Liao does not want the Great Liao to continue the country for a long time.

"Your Highness, what you mean is to ask Lord Xiao Wuna to spread the land sign to Song Ting?" Seeing the emperor's face gloomy and unhappy, Xiao Shen said without any silence or sunshine.

Yelu and Luwu slowly shook their heads. "Of course not, but I feel that even if we take back Xiazhou through negotiations with Song Ting, if Wang Wushan is still in charge of Shaanxi North Road, I am afraid that in areas like Xiazhou that are close to Song, there will still be turmoil and changes."

"Wang Wushan..." Yelu Hongji stroked his gray eyebrows and narrowed his eyes. The name of Wang Wushan is now known as Yelu Hongji. "This child is really a big trouble for my Daliao."

"Wang Wushan..." Xiao Shen smashed his mouth. When he heard this name, he felt that the two eggs under his crotch were hurting. Da Liao was so sad that it was this guy who really ruined his face.

First, the 500,000 army of the Great Liao Dynasty was allowed to attack a small Youzhou for more than a month, but then the Great Liao Dynasty had to withdraw its troops in humiliation.

Now, it was his troops assigned by Wang Wushan who went down to Xiazhou in one day. It was like a slap. It was just a slap. It didn't take long for Da Liao to hit Da Liao's left face, and then he stretched out his hand and gave Da Liao a fierce trick on his right face, which made people caught off guard.

"There is such a person in State of Song, which really makes me feel uneasy. I wish I could eat his flesh and sleep with his skin..." Yelu Hongji said resentfully.

In the past, Yelu Hongji naturally looked down on such a young official in the Song Dynasty, thinking that he was just a favorite minister of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, but he was just a good person who was good at saying good words and flattered a few more people.

However, who could have imagined that Daliao was defeated by this person repeatedly, but he could not do anything about this person.

Xiao Fengxian checked his face and said, "Your Majesty, since Wang Wushan is the one that is my confidant in the Liao Dynasty, it would be better to change the conditions we have proposed?"

"How to change? Do you want Song Ting to hand over this person to me?" Xiao Shen turned his face and looked at this favorite minister who was also very favored in front of the emperor, and said in an authentic way.

"My Lord is such a bad word. Unless our Great Liao Dynasty can reach the city of Bianliang, Emperor Song will definitely not agree." Xiao Fengxian looked at Xiao Shen and smiled.

"Then what do you want to say?" Yelu Hongji's eyes also fell on Xiao Fengxian and asked.

"Your Majesty, I remember that many of the civil and military ministers of Song Ting were incompatible with this Wang Wushan. Now, Wang Wushan has repeatedly made achievements for Song Ting on the North Road in Shaanxi. I am afraid that the ministers in the court have already become dissatisfied..."

"If Your Majesty can let go of his anger and target only Wang Wushan, I think that Emperor Song will definitely be willing to continue to live in harmony with our Daliao..."
