Chapter 695

In the imperial garden of the Song Dynasty, in the winding pavilions and pavilions, the monarch and the minister travel together.

You are the emperor of the Song Dynasty, zhuozhen, and the minister is the prime minister zipingxiu.

State affairs, family affairs and world affairs were involved in the conversation between the monarch and the minister. The topic revolved around. Zi pingxiu finally brought the topic to the topic that song huangmu zhuozhen didn't want to mention recently, "Your Majesty, I'm still a little worried about the battle between the Jiangfang people and mengshanming."

Mu Zhuo really frowned slightly. "In terms of war, the prime minister should admit that he is not as good as Luo Zhao."

It's a little hard to hear. He's really tired of this topic recently. As soon as mengshanming broke through the river defense, the courtiers were in a commotion. He ordered governor Luo Zhao to withdraw and intercept mengshanming, and the voice gained the upper hand.

The court debated this matter endlessly. One side supported Luo Zhao's decision and felt that he should make a quick decision to destroy Yan while Yan was weak. The other side felt that Luo Zhao was too aggressive and hoped to fight steadily. Both sides are reasonable, and his heart is biased towards Luo Zhao. He wants to make great achievements that his predecessors have not done.

However, Meng Shanming's offensive revived the courtiers' fear of the obscenity that Meng Shanming had imposed on the state of song. As soon as the river defense was broken, the voice of hoping to fight steadily immediately prevailed, which made mu zhuozhen's heart faint anger.

The courtiers are selfish and seek security for fear of endangering their own interests. He is the head of a country!

He caught up with the humiliation imposed by the state of Yan on the state of song. That is his humiliation. In recent years, he used the young and energetic Luo Zhao to sharpen the soldiers and horses of the great song dynasty for the sake of a snow before shame. There is no reason to give in.

Fortunately, Luo Zhao persuaded the three factions. With the support of the three factions and his support, he suppressed the voice of steady fighting in the hall. At this time, Zi pingxiu mentioned it again. Naturally, he was unhappy.

"Yes, yes." zipingxiu said humbly, "Your Majesty said that the minister is a civil servant and the Dadu is a military officer. In terms of war, the minister is certainly not as good as the Dadu, but the people who understand war still have different views. Mengshan Ming has been a soldier all his life and is very good at war. What he has gathered in his hands is his old headquarters and the elite of the people of the state of Yan. Once the river defense is broken, it may endanger the whole song dynasty!"

Mu zhuozhen: "does the prime minister mean that my Jiangfang elite army is not as elite as the state of Yan, or does he still insist on withdrawing troops to give the state of Yan a chance to breathe when our army has approached Yanjing and is readily available?"

Ziping Xiu said, "Your Majesty misunderstood. I'm worried that the Jiangfang people and horses will lose in dealing with mengshanming."

Mu zhuozhen: "the situation is obvious. Mengshan Ming has limited food and grass. It won't take long to bring him down. Why be afraid?"

Zipingxiu: "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Mengshanming can't be despised. Now, six million elite people and horses on the land of ten thousand miles in the Song Dynasty, three million attack Yan, two million Chen border defense Yan, and one million Chen border defense Korea. The country is empty. Once mengshanming gets rid of Jiangfang people and horses, who can stop it?"

Mu zhuozhen: "what does the prime minister want to say?"

Zipingxiu stopped beating around the Bush and simply pointed it out, "Senior general Chen Shaotong volunteered to gather some domestic people to go as a rear defense. Once mengshanming loses the Jiangfang people, he can try to stop the delay, which will help the Jiangfang people bite again, so as not to let mengshanming drive straight in! Soldiers, lethal weapons and national affairs must be carefully guarded. Being cautious will never be wrong!"

Chen Shaotong is his son-in-law. He was pulled up by him and feared to be excluded because of him. He can understand that he can monopolize the military and political power?

Mu zhuozhen raised his eyebrows slightly and understood that he wanted to share the credit for killing Yan. His eyes flashed slightly. He immediately laughed and said, "the prime minister is reasonable. I have neglected it. In this way, the prime minister will propose it tomorrow morning." this is tantamount to agreeing.

Zipingxiu immediately arched his hands and said, "I will obey your orders!"

In fact, both of them know that this is a naked deal. Luo Zhao is intended to fight ahead by your emperor. I can help you overcome the constraints in the court, but I also want to take one of the benefits.

To some extent, zipingxiu also retreated and sought the second place. Since the general trend could not be changed, he had to follow the trend. It was impossible that all the grandeur and vitality belonged to others. He couldn't even hear a sound here. Wouldn't he become a decoration?

On the battlefield, it may be Luo Zhao's decision, but his influence in the court is very important. As long as Chen Shaotong gives his strength, how much credit this strength should turn into still needs to be evaluated in the court.

And Mu Zhuo is really willing to accept this compromise. As long as his goal can be achieved, it's nothing to give Chen Shaotong some benefits.

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled. After chatting with the person who presented the report, Mo Gao, the general manager not far away, changed his face greatly, strode back, and said forcefully in front of Mu zhuozhen: "Your Majesty..." his lips trembled, and the words behind were difficult to spit out.

When Mu Zhuo really saw his reaction, he knew whether it was right. After reading the memorial held in his hands, he couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "what's the matter?"

Mogao bowed to the memorial and said in a trembling voice, "the Jiangfang army is completely destroyed!"

"What?" Mu zhuozhen and Zi pingxiu both spoke in unison, and both were shocked.

Zipingxiu stretched out his hand and almost robbed the memorial to see. Fortunately, he stopped at the critical moment and retracted his hand. With a little sweat in his heart, he quickly turned around and bowed to the emperor.

Mu Zhuo really didn't notice this at all. He grabbed the player's check-in hand, quickly pulled it away, looked at it, his hands trembled, his face was pale, and the whole person was shaky.

"Your majesty!" Mogao and Ziping were surprised and both grabbed him.

"Jiang Fang's two million elite are gone, so they are gone?" Mu zhuozhen, who was mute for a while, finally made a voice of grief and anger. "The whole army is destroyed. How can it be? How can it be? Luo Zhao, Luo Zhao, you have disappointed me!"

He knew very well what the two million people and horses of the river defense meant under such circumstances. The loss of two million people and horses of the river defense meant that the whole song country would face the rampant attack of mengshanming.

"Your majesty!" zipingxiu asked for a check-in. After seeing it, he was also shocked and lamented. Luo Zhao, Luo Zhao, you have really become a sinner of the great Song Dynasty this time!

He did not gloat at at this time, but Luo Zhao took nearly half of the elite men and horses of the state of song. Now even if he wanted to come back, it would be difficult to quench his thirst. It's too late for the one million elite troops in the northwest to withdraw. They dare not withdraw if they can. That's to guard against South Korea.

At this point in Yan state, there are still a large army in the north to guard against South Korea. Song really wants to transfer the one million elite away from the border. There is no one to guard the edge. The internal emptiness is rampant. You can think of who South Korea will attack with your ass. can South Korea not pick it up easily and cheaply, but also fight with the people and horses in the north of Yan state?

Therefore, the heavy troops in the northwest cannot be withdrawn, but now who can stop the army of mengshanming in China?

Luo Zhao holds three million elite in his hand, but he wants to sit back and watch the disaster of the state of song. How can he not become a sinner of the state of song for generations? Who dares to speak for Luo Zhao in the court?

He can imagine that Luo Zhao's wisdom over the years has been completely planted in Meng Shanming's hands!

In his absence, zipingxiu tightened his wrist and looked up. He found that the emperor's majesty grabbed his wrist and said sincerely on his face: "if what the prime minister said before really became a prophecy, it can be seen that the prime minister's clear lesson, Chen Shaotong's leadership, I will be allowed now. It is expected that the courtiers will not disagree. The prime minister immediately asked Chen Shaotong to go to the emergency to wait for Luo Zhao to lead the army for help!"

"..." Ziping stopped talking, and his intestines were green with regret. He wanted to smoke his two mouths. This time was too good. He didn't say it early or late. It happened that he came up to the emperor to mention it at this time, even if he mentioned it a little later. Now, let's pick up the stone head and hit his foot.

The key to the problem is that two million elite Ma still can't stop Meng Shanming. His son-in-law tangles with some mobs, and is he worthy to fight Meng Shanming? Isn't this looking for shit with lanterns?

His son-in-law was proposed by himself. Once Chen Shaotong was defeated, he had no place to dump his responsibility. He had to be dragged into the water together!

How can he promise?

However, there are no jokes about military affairs, and there are no jokes in front of you. Some words can't be taken back.

Mu Zhuo looked at the prime minister with sincere expectation. Of course, he knew that the prime minister's power over the years was very important. At this time, he was going to force the prime minister to exhaust all his energy to deal with emergencies.

Ziping was silent for a while. His old face looked dull. He forced himself to a dead end and couldn't refuse. He was cursing Luo Zhao's ancestors for 18 generations.

The defeat was too sudden and too happy. The defeat caught people off guard and threw the prime minister into the pit.

He finally had to take orders with difficulty and said, "I will obey your orders!"

……

The song army, which was close to Yanjing, was still moving forward. Under the tree beside the road, Luo Zhao, who received the war report, was shaky.

Thinking of the situation that the state of song was going to face, the predictable pressure on the court, the failure of his hard-working strategy, and his lifetime fame, Luo Zhao suddenly grasped the pit of his heart and suffered from severe angina pectoris.

Unfortunately, Meng Shanming attacked with water. He hoped that he had made a wrong judgment. Finally, his hope was dashed. The emergency military order passed to the people and horses of Jiangfang was still a step slow, and the whole army of Jiangfang was destroyed!

"Dudu!" Su Yuanbai helped him and was about to cast a spell to regulate his breath.

Luo Zhao, whose eyes were black and his voice was sweet, was angry and worried. "Poof!" a mouthful of blood failed to hold back and gushed out.

"Governor!" exclaimed the crowd.

After emergency rescue, Luo Zhao, who was helped to lie under the tree, finally calmed down. It seemed that he was dying. The first sentence came out was, "order the vanguard to speed up the March and kill the city after breaking Yanjing, so as to keep the morale of the people of the great song Dynasty!"

The reason is very simple. Mengshanming wiped out two million elite of the state of song, and the state of song wiped out the capital of the state of Yan. It can also fight without loss!

The key is that in this way, he can also give an explanation to the court of the state of song, otherwise he will go back empty handed without achieving any purpose, which will also put the state of song in such a dangerous situation. How can he explain to him who has been resisting the pressure and sticking to his own opinion? He really can't explain to the court.

He can imagine that the imperial court will force him to withdraw troops and return aid. I'm afraid even the emperor will force him, so he wants to win Yanjing before this!
