Come to Song Dynasty with the system

With no way to retreat, Chen Zhizhong stood up helplessly holding the fluorene board, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Pu, the affairs of the Western Region all depend on Wang Deyong and Wang Decheng. It is precisely because they did not arrive in Xi'an Prefecture in time. This led to the leaderless situation in the Western Region, and the general was unable to support himself, which led to the current ending."

As soon as he opens his mouth, he shirks the blame and completely abdicates all responsibility.

It's really not okay to say otherwise. If you bear the name of a criminal, then you won't be tough in what you say.

"Wang Deyong is guilty, but now is not the time to talk about them. Mr. Chen should talk about how we will deal with the Long Army next." Zhao Yunrang saw the other party's little thoughts and did not go with it, let alone say anything. The whole crime lies with Wang Deyong, and Chen Zhizhong is not said to be innocent.

The meaning is just one, if you can think of countermeasures next, then you are innocent.Unexpectedly, I will deal with you first.

Screaming in his heart, but receiving no response from Zhao Yunrang, Chen Zhizhong could only continue with a grimace: "The Dragon Army has entered Henan Prefecture and is already very close to Bianliang. At this time, what we should do is to strengthen the city defense to prevent the Dragon Army from meeting. Come to us. At the same time, call the army from all over the country to serve the king to ensure that we have an absolute advantage in military strength. Speaking of which, this is our land of the Song Dynasty. We have too many advantages. The dragon army is coming from far away, and food and grass supplies are available. Naturally, as long as we can form a confrontation with them, we will definitely win in the end."

"Well, strengthening the city defense is inevitable, is there anything else?" Zhao Yunrang was naturally not satisfied with this statement. What he wanted now was how to drive Su Shi and Long Jun out, not just blind defense.

"Yes. Please also ask King Pu to send someone to contact Li Tang and explain the dangers of the Dragon Army. If we can join forces with him, then our strength will be stronger. When the time comes, when the north and the south attack from both sides, the Dragon Army may not be defeated. possible."

As soon as these words were said, there was another discussion in the court hall.

Li Tang can be considered a member of the rebels. The previous war between the Dragon Empire and the Liao Kingdom in the north affected the hearts of Zhao and Song.No one knows how far the war will go over there, or whether it will affect them.

In addition, Li Tang only occupied Suzhou and did not go north. Although it was constantly eroding the southern border of Zhao Song, as long as it did not threaten the safety of Bianliang City, it was not the biggest threat in Zhao Song's eyes.

After Zhao Zhen died and Zhao Yun gained power, he was determined to attack Li Tang.

Although he was not confident enough to defeat Li Tang in one fight, in his mind, he had to fight, even if he was just showing off and showing his determination, he still had to fight.The worst outcome is a tie, and the most is that the land of Zhao and Song is divided equally between the two.

At least the borders will be redrawn because of this battle.Just like the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, wasn't that a time when wars broke out?Didn’t you come here too?

The so-called power of the world will inevitably divide if it unites for a long time, and it will unite if it divides for a long time. This is also an objective law.

Zhao Yunrang's thoughts are not a secret, many ministers know about it.What they knew more clearly was that Zhao Yunrang wanted to establish his authority through this battle, intending to tell others that he wanted to unify the country, but he just didn't have the strength. In this way, it would be difficult for others to say anything.

But now, before the idea has been put into action, Chen Zhizhong will openly join forces with Li Tang to deal with Su Shi. Doesn't this mean that Zhao Song will be divided into two in the best case scenario?

When I thought that the title of splitting Zhao and Song might fall on ministers like myself, some people immediately stood up and strongly opposed it.

"Your Majesty, King Pu, you can't. The Southland is the territory of our Zhao and Song Dynasties. Joining forces with Li Tang now is equivalent to acknowledging their existence. How can we send troops to take back the Southland in the future? This is defeating our ancestors. The foundation must not be disturbed."

"Yes, King Pu, Chen Zhizhong is traitorous to the country, and he deserves to be punished for his words. Please also issue an order to kill him outside the Meridian Gate."

"Your Majesty, King Pu, this matter must not be done, otherwise how will we face our ancestors a hundred years later."

A courtier who claimed to be loyal stood up again and angrily denounced Chen Zhizhong for all his faults in order to show off that he was a righteous man.

Facing the accusations from so many courtiers, Chen Zhizhong's face naturally turned ugly.He finally knew what it meant to stand and talk without back pain.

Obviously everyone had no idea, Zhao Yunrang named him again and asked him to speak. How could he not see clearly that it was King Pu's original intention to unite Li Tang to deal with Su Shi?

It's just that there are some words that he can't say, otherwise, he will be responsible for treason, so he just threatens himself to say these words.

Now I'm fine, I said it out, but these ministers actually scolded me.What, you are all loyal and I am the only traitor?

But don't think about it. If you don't join forces with Li Tang now, Zhao Song himself might be Su Shi, and would he be Long Jun's opponent?

Zhao and Song are in urgent need of support, but the Liao Kingdom is destroyed, the Barbarians are gone, and Xixia is also dead. Who else will they unite with if they don't unite with Li Tang?

Chen Zhi's heart is suffering.

He just said the most correct choice, a method that everyone knew, but no one dared to say.

If you take the blame, you may not know how you will be written about in history in the future.But now, even his colleagues treat him like this. What's the matter? It's not enough for him to be a bad person, but he also has to be slapped in the face by everyone to prove that they are good officials who serve the country and the people?

Feeling bitter in his heart, Chen Zhizhong didn't argue, just retreated and stood there with his eyes closed.In fact, once a person with great power like him leaves the Western Region, he is leaving the center of power. It is only a matter of time before he is in this situation.

The only blame is that he listened to the court's order. If he could withstand the pressure and not send food and grass to Xixia, then these things would not happen.

It's just that some things are done once they're done, and it's too late to regret them.

The other ministers were still complaining about Chen Zhizhong's various wrongdoings, but Zhao Yunrang did not stop him. He knew that this was what should be done.Since there are people playing bad roles, then someone has to play bad roles. This is also giving everyone a chance to vent and a chance to clear their name.

But no matter how much everyone criticizes, things should still be done how they should be done.

After half an hour, after almost all the civil servants scolded Chen Zhizhong, the court gradually became quiet, and Zhao Yunrang finally said: "There is something wrong with what Chen Shangshu said, but now we The situation is very dangerous. In ancient times, Gou Jian had to endure hardships to achieve great things. Then why can't we aggrieve a little first?"

As he spoke, Zhao Yunrang also cast his gaze on the ministers, asking for their opinions.

This time, no one objected. I am afraid everyone knows that there are not many choices left for them now.Besides, the idea came from Chen Zhizhong and was intended to be adopted by Zhao Yunrang. Even if they were scolded for this matter, it had little to do with them.

Seeing that no one objected, Zhao Yunrang breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "That's it, for the Great Song Dynasty plan, we can only unite with Li Tang to deal with the Dragon Empire first. But please don't worry, once the Dragon Empire We were kicked out of the Great Song Dynasty, and we will get it back to the southern border sooner or later."

With Zhao Yunrang's decision, the matter was settled.Bianliang City strengthened its city defense and sent troops to Chenliu City for defense. At the same time, it sent people to Suzhou to join forces with Li Tang to deal with Su Shi.

But what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations. The messenger Wen Yanbo had just left Bianliang City when he received news of his return.Just when Wen Yanbo was still confused, he finally knew the reason. Long Jun did not go north, but went straight from Henan Prefecture to Yingtian Prefecture. From the looks of it, it was clear that he was the first to attack. It’s Li Tang.

Su Shi actually had no intention of touching Bianliang City. After learning the news, Zhao Yunrang immediately changed his mind about joining forces with Li Tang.

Before joining forces with Li Tang, he was worried that Su Shi would lead an army to Bianliang. For his own safety, he needed help.

But now, Su Shi has to deal with Li Tang, and he is not the one who is anxious. In this case, it should be Li Tang who takes the initiative to ask for help from them.

Indeed, Li Tang was anxious.

Suzhou City.

Li Bo, the current head of Li Tang, was pacing back and forth in the hall. Below him, Li Nan, Li Han and other important officials of Li Tang also looked worried.Not only that, even the two Fuso generals, Otawara Yuki and Kanshita Toshiyuki, also had sad faces.

Last year, they sent people to assassinate Su Shi's three imperial concubines in order to cause chaos for him. After disturbing his mood, they would create opportunities for the Liao, Zhao, Song and Manmeng to counter-win.

It's a pity that the assassination failed, and none of the assassins sent returned.Soon after, the Dragon Kingdom Navy began to increase maritime patrols. All ships that were not Dragon Empire ships would be detained, and those who dared to resist would be sunk.

Not only that, the Navy of the Dragon Kingdom suddenly sent out large warships to directly block the waters outside Fuso. As soon as the warships with two thousand materials came out, such behemoths instantly turned all Fuso ships into toys, and Fuso could not escape anymore. step.

This move of Long Jun directly hit them in the seven inches, causing them to complain endlessly.

I think in the past, they could secretly trade with Dragon Empire merchants, buy some things that were not available outside, sell them, earn the price difference, and subsidize themselves.

At that time, although there was a Dragon Kingdom navy on the sea, they only collected commercial taxes and only inspected some special items, such as ironware and so on.At that time, they could still profit from it.

However, as no other ships except non-Dragon Kingdom merchant ships were allowed to pass, their maritime trade routes were basically cut off. Only Dragon Kingdom merchant ships were left to take the initiative, but the prices of goods were ridiculously high. Li Tang was It becomes very difficult to make money from it.
