I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

Zhao Ji shouted: "Okay, okay, the grand master is worthy of me. With the grand master here, I feel at ease, hahaha..."

After sweeping away the haze caused by Liu Sheng, he waved his hand and said: "Reward, there will be rewards for many."

However, Zhao Ji frowned and said: "The grand master said that he cultivates the way of teaching and is timid and avoids fighting, which almost leads to a big defeat. We must not ignore it."

"Wang Fu has ordered Zhong Shidao to return to the capital as a right-guard general and replace him with Liu Yanqing. What do you think?"

Cai Jing said: "The war ahead is urgent. The officials should not be suspected, but the employees should not be suspected. The way of teaching is unclear to Liu Sheng, so he was just ordered to come back for investigation."

Zhao Ji nodded and said nothing.

The ministers congratulated again, and at this time another urgent message from 800 miles away was shouted from outside the city, straight to the palace.

The messenger still fell on the steps to the main hall.

It was still the Banzhi in front of the palace who found the battle report from his body and sent it to Zhao Ji.

The heartstrings that the ministers had just loosened before were tightened again.

As long as there is good news, the messenger will crawl in even if he crawls in. Fainting outside the palace is probably not good news.

Sure enough, after Zhao Ji read the battle report, he kicked the desk away and said: "Thief, you are going too far."

"Guan family, what happened?"

Cai Jing asked bravely.

"Who else is the traitor besides Liu Sheng? What is Zhe Keqiu doing? Liu Sheng has already attacked Shangdang and can threaten Kaifeng at any time. What is he guarding when he is stationed in Taiyuan?"

As soon as Zhao Ji spoke, everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that Liu Sheng was so fast and had already hit Shangdang.

The previous battle report had just been sent, which meant that Yangquan and Shangdang fell almost at the same time. What was the strength of Liu Sheng's troops?

Moreover, Shangdang was too close to Feng. There is still no specific explanation of how Liu Sheng attacked the city. All he sent were battle reports of lost territory.

In just a few days, most of Shanxi fell into Liu Sheng's hands.

If they wait for Tong Guan to return from the Northern Expedition, will they still have a chance to wait for Tong Guan to return from the Northern Expedition?

As long as Tong Guan fights north, Liu Sheng will definitely come to Kaifeng.

Now the two sides will see who can take the other side's capital first, but the Khitan's Nanjing is just a companion capital!

The emperor and other officials were all in Zhongjing, while all the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty were in Kaifeng.

At this time, Cai You said: "Guan family, the grand master cannot continue to go north, we must negotiate a peace."

Zhao Ji waved his sleeves and said: "It's impossible, I can't negotiate peace with Liu Sheng even if I move the capital.

How can our majestic Song Dynasty be controlled by a small rebel army? "

"I will ask the Grand Master to divide his troops and go south. First, Liu Sheng will be pacified at Tu Yanyun."

"Your Majesty, not allowed." Zhao Ji looked a little surprised at the person who made the noise.

When he wanted to invade the Liao Kingdom in the north, Zheng Juzhong was the most opposed. But now he actually opposes retreating? What are you doing?

At this time, Cai Jing and Cai You stood in line and said: "Liu Sheng has fought against the Shangdang. If you don't withdraw your troops at this time, where will you put the safety of the officials?"

Zheng Juzhong said: "Liu Sheng is just an itch, so what if he takes over the entire Shanxi? As long as the Khitan is destroyed and there is no backup, defeat will be a matter of time.

And our Northern Expedition in the Song Dynasty has drained all the taxes on the entire Hedong Road, Hebei Road, Jingxi East Road, and Yongzhou Military Road to regain our homeland.

If we withdraw our troops at this time, where will the previous sacrifices end up? How to explain to the people of the world?

Liu Sheng couldn't even conquer Taiyuan, let alone a huge city like Kaifeng?

Now that Liu Sheng can fight, the capital still has 50,000 forbidden troops trained by Deacon Cai, and the veteran Zhongshi Dao is about to return, so why should the princes in the court be afraid of him?

If Liu Sheng really comes, won't King Qin's army in the world be there?

How can I make fun of the official family's safety?

Now that the Khitans are in decline, if they want to fight, just take them directly. If they are ready to retreat, don't go out in the first place.

What has become of my Song Dynasty? Backing alliances, backstabbing, and colluding with the Jurchen country of villains.

If it doesn't move, it will be over. If it moves, it will be like thunder sweeping across Khitan.

Don't let them have any breathing space. "

Zheng Juzhong's words directly refreshed everyone's impression of him.

And Cai You also used this to express his intention: "The peace I am talking about is not a peace with Liu Sheng, nor a peace with the Khitan. It is about our Song Dynasty using the land we currently occupy as the boundary to reconcile the Khitan and the Jurchen. Our three parties Negotiate peace.”

The Jurchens and the Khitan are already incompatible with each other, and even if there is a temporary truce, they will continue to fight internally. The Jurchen offensive is too fierce, and the Khitan cannot withstand it at all. The Song Dynasty is stepping in, and the Khitan will surely perish.

How can you allow others to snore and sleep beside you on the couch? Is a powerful barbarian tribe really in the interests of our Song Dynasty?

Between two major countries, a third party is needed to ease conflicts, such as Xixia versus the Song Dynasty and the Khitan.

Otherwise, if they want to invade the Song Dynasty, will the Song Dynasty be fighting them for more than 20 years?

You all should ask yourselves, can we, the Song Dynasty, still be able to launch the great war that we fought at the founding of our country?

Recovering Yanyun is just a small immediate gain, and letting them fight internally is the best strategy.

This trip to the north is a bit hasty. If it doesn't work out now, we'll give it up. When can we wait? "

After Cai You finished speaking, everyone began to think deeply. It was indeed a plan for the country.

Someone immediately asked: "Since the Jurchens are a barbaric tribe and have a deadly feud with the Khitan, how can they be willing to listen to the Song Dynasty's reconciliation?"

Cai You said coldly: "If you don't listen, then fight. We, the Song Dynasty and the Khitan, are brothers. We join forces to attack the Jin Dynasty together.

We will fight until they are willing to negotiate. Who is weak and whom should we help? "

Cai You's eyes showed murderous intent and swept in all directions.

Someone retorted: "How can I do such shameful things when I am a sovereign heaven?"

Cai You snorted coldly: "Did Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty make too few choices among the three kingdoms of Silla, Goguryeo, and Baekje?"

"Now when we talk about Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, besides killing his brother and imprisoning his father, who doesn't admire his military strategy?"

"The officials should follow the example of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Only by enduring the Weishui Alliance can they defeat the Turks later. The current sixteen states are the white horse oath of the officials."

It's time to show sincerity, otherwise the Khitan Kingdom will be destroyed and it will be too late to regret it.

The court fell into silence for a moment. Cai You's strategy sounded fine, and could even be said to be the best choice.

But not everyone has long-term vision like Cai You.

I just want to see my name in front of me, regain Yanyun, and leave my name in history. After death, I won't care about the floods.

Zheng Juzhong spoke first: "I second the proposal."

Immediately, a group of people followed and seconded the proposal.

But Zhao Ji said nothing, looked at Cai Jing and said, "What do you say?"

Cai Jing instantly understood what Zhao Ji meant. He also wanted to have a good reputation, but he didn't care so much. If he couldn't expand his territory and lay a good foundation in his day, what was the use?

Cai Jing's face turned cold and said: "Cai You, you also said that Liu Sheng was not the one who raised the bandits and respected himself. I'm afraid you didn't get the benefit of accepting the Khitan people, so you are here to help the Khitan people speak!"

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Khitan is dying."
