Chapter 514 Defeat again (2)
The Song State was defeated, and the news was rushed to Kaifeng by Tong Guan for 800 miles. Zhao Ji sat high in Yanfu Palace on the dragon throne, but none of the dozens of court ministers spoke. This time, there was no Tai Shi Cai Jing again.
Cai Jing is too old to get up, and his eldest son Cai You has become a microphone at the Grand Tutor's Mansion. I wonder if it was caused by the emergence of Cai Huang. Cai You, who was originally jumping up and down in history, has also become an existence that is "indifferent to everyone".
No one spoke in the entire hall. After a long time, the eunuch Li Yan spoke again, "A morning report is reported" but no one answered.
Zhao Ji suddenly became furious and slapped the armrest of the dragon chair.
“Gao Qiu!”
Zhao Ji ordered the name, and the Grand Marshal Gao Qiu had to bow with his tablet in his arms.
"I'm here."
Zhao Ji took a deep breath, and then he forced the panic and anger to suppress his tone.
"Our army was defeated again and again. At this time, the Naoji had already occupied Xijing. Yelu Yanxi fled west again. Seeing that our army could not capture Yanjing, the Naoji would have to go south to attack Liao. Once the Naoji seized Yanjing, what should our dynasty do? Is there any good plan for my dear?"
Zhao Ji did not go around in circles anymore and directly told the seriousness of the problem.
Gao Qiu sighed in his heart, knowing that the words of the arrogant child of the Cai family were fulfilled, and everyone had seen that the Song army was vulnerable, and there would be many crises in the future.
The heart was full of chaos, and the emperor had to speak out when he asked. He was just a favorite football minister. How could he have any good ideas?
Gao Qiu pondered for a long time, clasped his fists and bowed deeply, "Princess was worried about our army's slaughter of the people of Yanjing before the New Year. The court repeatedly prohibited it. The soldiers who attacked Yanjing still slaughtered the people, which led to our army's victory and then defeat. I think we should first rectify military discipline, so that we can be united and our army can fight again."
As soon as Gao Qiu's words fell, many ministers nodded in agreement, and there were also buzzing conversations in the hall.
As Gao Qiu said, Zhao Fujin had already talked about the concerns of "slaughter" in front of the Crown Prince Zhao Huan and Grand Tutor Cai Jing a few years ago. The massacre was a shock under absolute strength. There have been slaughtering the people in all dynasties, but the Liao Kingdom was not Jiangnan. The Liao Kingdom was sandwiched between the Song and Jin Kingdom. The massacre would only cause the people to resent the people, not to mention that the Song Kingdom had betrayed the century-old peace alliance "The Alliance of Tanyuan". Such a massacre would only allow the Liao people to completely surrender to the female Naomin of the Jin Kingdom.
The Song Kingdom could not defeat the Liao Kingdom and was always the weak side. Because of its special military system, the Liao Kingdom, which believed that the Central Plains, had always regarded the north as a great enemy. Almost all the elite troops were outside the Great Wall. The elite troops of the Liao Kingdom did not always stay on the border of the Song and Liao.
Now, the third-class army of Liao Kingdom alone can rub the Song Kingdom hard and swallow up the elite female Naomen from the four capitals in the northern part of Liao Kingdom. After seeing such a waste from Song Kingdom and being a restless waste, even a fool would have a choice.
All the elite troops in the world are heading south, can Song State resist it?
Since the beginning, Cai Yan did not think that the State of Song had the strength to resist the female Nao Ren. The only chance was to swallow and completely digest Yanjing, and rely on the Great Wall defense line to resist the female Nao Ren.
It is not easy to swallow and digest Yanjing. For the Liao Kingdom, what I hate the most is not the female Zhiren who fights with it, but the Song people who stabbed the knife in the back. For the Liao people, it is difficult to bow to the Song people. However, Yanjing is not the four capitals of Liao Kingdom outside the Great Wall. Yanjing has many Han people and Han ministers. Although they have been separated from the Central Plains for a hundred years, they are still Han people. This is the only advantage of the Song Kingdom. But when the Song army slaughtered Yanjing, it was said that it was slaughtering the Hu people. How many of them were slaughtered innocent people during this period? The example of Suhu, Jiangnan, was placed in front of everyone.
The Song Bing was a mercenary, a mercenary with nothing from each dynasty. The biggest feature of the mercenary is that it can do anything crazy for the sake of profit. Yanjing is the richest city of the Liao Kingdom. Although the Khitans were nobles of the Liao Kingdom, the Han ministers of the Liao Kingdom were the richest groups. When a group of mercenary troops rushed into a wealthy family, they didn't have to think about the result.
The fact has happened, and I can't help but regret it. Gao Qiu has no good idea. Everyone saw that the Song army was useless and that the softest belly was exposed to the swords of others. Even if we clean up the soldiers, how effective will it be in a short period of time?
No one knew, but no one had a good idea, so Zhao Ji had to send an envoy north, hoping to obtain the land of Yanyun using the contract signed with the daughter Nao Ren.
After discussing and quarreling for a day, there was no way out in the end. Wang Fu and Zheng Juzhong had no choice. Although they were called thieves by the people in the world, they did not want the world to be turbulent, and they were even more unwilling to open the house to become a pile of ruins.
The two of them came to the Cai Mansion together, which was really absent. When they arrived in front of the door, a little kid was catching birds in a bamboo basket. When they saw this scene, they both smiled bitterly.
Cai Jing is indeed old, so old that he can only lie on the bed and can't move.
Zheng Juzhong stepped forward and helped Cai Jing up, put a pillow behind his back, and sighed: "The old master thought he had learned about General Liu's defeat. The world is slid step by step towards the crisis as Prince Cai said. At this time, does the old master have a good idea?"
Cai Jing was silent...
"At this time... the Liao Kingdom is no longer important. What is important is to stop the female Naoto. Perhaps only the unfilial son of me can do this."
Wang Fu smiled bitterly and said, "What the old teacher said is, yes...but the news came from Dengzhou that Prince Cai has led people to Japan. Prince Cai is unwilling to come to serve the court again. What can we do?"
Cai Jing lowered his eyebrows and pondered again...
"Transfer the Third Division and the Young Army heads north to Yanjing."
Zheng Juzhong was stunned and said in confusion: "Old Master, let's not say that the young army has only one name left. Even the Third Division has not yet equipped with large and small fire tubes. What if he forcibly ordered Wang Bing to go north to Yanjing?"
Cai Jing smiled bitterly and sighed: "According to the princess' words, once the woman goes south, our dynasty may have to flee south to Jiangnan to avoid disaster with the Wei and Jin Dynasties."
"Before, the officials and the court repeatedly forced each other, so that Xiao Wu retreated again and again, and he retreated to Zhenjiang and Hangzhou. The court even used the prince as a charity. Xiao Wu was willing to completely withdraw from Jiangnan and go abroad and did not trust us. Wang Xiang, Zheng Xiang, wouldn't he not understand Xiao Wu's intentions, right?"
No one knows a son than a father. Although his words may not be absolute, Cai Jing is cold and cunning enough. After experiencing the struggle between Xining and Yuanyou, how can he not see the character of a child?
Cai Jing sighed, "The moment Xiao Wu retreated from Jiangnan, he had already made a decision. Once the woman went south, once our dynasty avoided the disaster in Jiangnan, Xiao Wu would surely enter the Central Plains again and seize the land of Jiangbei. At that time... the land of Jiangbei was all the land of the Ming Kingdom."
Zheng Juzhong, Wang Fu wanted to be angry, but the two knew that Cai Jing was right.
"The female Nao Gu started from the five tribes of the northern part of the Yazi River. The savage women Nao people are rare, and there are less than ten thousand soldiers available. Everyone knows their weaknesses. As long as the savage women Nao people are severely damaged by the tribe, they can conquer the world in one battle."
