The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1745 Analyzing the Pros and Cons
That night.

General Zhao Dongting, Su Liuyi, the Deputy Commander of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Zhong Jian, Minister of the Ministry of War, and two servants of the Ministry of War, and more than ten servants all announced to the imperial study.

Among them, Su Liuyi, Zhong Jian, and the two ministers on the left and right are all members of the military cabinet.The servants are also powerful figures in the Ministry of War.

Now the military part of the Song Dynasty is divided into logistics, staff, conscription, national defense, science and technology and many other yamen, and these servants are the top leaders of these yamen.have decision-making power.

They were all called into the imperial study, obviously the emperor had important matters to order.

So when they met on the way into the palace, the brains of the Song Dynasty's Ministry of War began to whisper.Everyone expressed their opinions on why the emperor summoned him at night.

Among them, the most recognized by everyone is that the emperor summoned overnight must have something to do with the extreme master breaking into the palace during the day.

And in fact it is.

Not long after, the summoned officials gathered outside the imperial study.

A eunuch went in to report.Eunuch Liu walked out of the house, "My lords, please..."

A group of people, led by Su Liuyi, walked towards the imperial study.

"Be flat!"

He had just arrived in the imperial study room, before everyone saluted, Zhao Dongting waved his hands.Eunuch Liu went to the corner to move a chair for Su Liuyi.

Up to now, Su Liuyi is also nearly sixty years old.Because he hasn't lived a peaceful life these years, his body is not particularly strong, so almost whenever he goes to the imperial study, Zhao Dongting will give him a seat.Now there is no need to explain it in particular, Eunuch Liu has already formed a habit.

Although Zhong Jian was favored by Zhao Dongting, and he was Minister of the Ministry of War, his power and position were not inferior to that of Su Liuyi, but he did not receive such treatment.

Zhao Dongting still gave preferential treatment to veterans in many ways.If he can be treated like this as long as he is a minister, it will not be able to show that he is different from the old ministers.

And these old ministers who have devoted countless efforts to the revival of the Song Dynasty, and it is never an exaggeration to say that they have worked hard, are definitely worthy of such treatment.

Not to mention those retired officials, just take Su Liuyi as an example.Considering his age, he will have to retire next year.In the future, it will be rare to come to the Imperial Study Room for a sit-down.

"Dear dear friends, have you heard what the strong man in the extreme realm said to me in the air today?"

As soon as Su Liuyi took his seat, Zhao Dongting said to everyone.

Zhong Jian cupped his hands and spoke first, "What the emperor said is that you can take care of yourself and live in peace?"

Zhao Dongting nodded and said, "Exactly this sentence."

As he spoke, he slowly got down from the bed, paced and said, "You are all ministers of the humerus of my Great Song Dynasty, let me tell you what you think here!"

"emperor!"

Shi Dehui, the left servant of the Ministry of War, stepped forward when he heard the words, and said: "The extreme state of the Yuan Dynasty said before he made this statement that he was passing on the message for the real gold of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. The imperial army of the Great Song Dynasty is on the front line to make a truce with them. This will definitely delay my plan to destroy the Yuan Dynasty, but this person's extreme cultivation base, I can't deal with it for the time being. If the front line continues to use troops against the Yuan Dynasty, I am afraid that the Yuan Emperor will die and the net will be broken. This person came to the palace. At that time, if no one can stop him, the result may be unimaginable, so... I think it's better to suspend the army at this time, let's develop the already occupied land first, and wait until we can come up with something The way to deal with him is that it will not work to launch a war against Yuan again in the future."

"emperor!"

But just as Shi Dehui finished speaking, Man Chengbi, the servant on the right, also stood up and said: "According to the information from the Military Intelligence Department, it came back from the Chincha Khanate, the Chagatai Khanate, the Wokuotai Khanate, and the Ili Khanate. According to the news, these four Khanates from the same lineage as the Yuan Dynasty have already sent troops to the territory of the Yuan Dynasty. They must be coming towards us. They have the firearms given to them by the Yuan Dynasty. When they all go to the front line, I will be in the Song Dynasty It doesn’t matter whether the soldiers of the imperial guards can break through to the center, I’m afraid it will be quite difficult to hold the base that they have finally laid down...and if the front line is defeated, I will go to the rear..."

He didn't speak too bluntly, but the meaning was already obvious.

If the armies of the four major Khanates arrive, the soldiers of the front-line Forbidden Army will be defeated.At that time, there will be no question of whether Da Song can protect himself. After all, only the garrison and the defenders are left in the rear.

"Don't worry about that."

Zhao Dongting raised his hands and said confidently: "Our imperial guards are all masters of a hundred battles, and will not be defeated by the army of that mere khanate."

He glanced at the crowd again, "What I'm thinking about now is, if it is because of this extreme strongman who kills the palace, I will really stop the war against the Yuan Dynasty. Will this affect the morale of the army and the will of the people? Besides, I really have to wait until I think about it." I don't know how long it will take to deal with him, and such an existence is always a great hidden danger. With him, no matter whether the front line continues to fight, there will be a big stone hanging in my heart... I can't make up my mind now Do you want to take the risk and continue to hunt? If there is a need to do so, it is not impossible. We can't beat him, and we can always hide. It's just that when the time comes, the commanders of the various armies, as well as our civil and military ministers in the court They all need to hide to work, and there will be a lot of inconvenience.”

When everyone heard his words, they all became thoughtful.

What the emperor meant was nothing more than for everyone to discuss whether it is necessary to spend a lot of time to avoid the extreme situation and let the front line continue to expand.

"emperor……"

After a while, Zhong Jian said: "Let's analyze the pros and cons of fighting or not before making a decision. If we fight, we all need to guard against this extreme situation, whether it's in the imperial city or in the big cities." , or in the army. The Yuan Dynasty also has spider webs, and we may not be able to show up easily in the future. The troubles are hard to predict. But if the front line goes well, we can kill the Yuan Dynasty in a short time. Yuan Dynasty Annihilation, then maybe this extreme state will not compete with us again when it is weak to recover, and the reinforcements of the four major Khanates will definitely not be enemies of our Song Dynasty."

"Besides, the front line is not so smooth, then we will be very troublesome. Even if we deliberately hide, sometimes there are hundreds of secrets and one omission, there is no telling who will be assassinated than this extreme situation. Look at Yichen, Zuo Shilang said That's right, let's press down on the front first and digest all the bases that have eaten into our stomachs. Now our army on the front line needs to send food to the rear. Just imagine, if the food in our bases will be enough to supply by then The front-line army. No matter how much time the Yuan Dynasty has to recuperate, it will not be our Song Dynasty's opponent. The development speed of our Song Dynasty is countless times that of theirs."

"Um……"

Zhao Dongting nodded lightly, "In terms of development, I am confident. As you said, it is safer to temporarily stop the frontline soldiers, but..."

As he spoke, the situation suddenly changed, "What should I do if the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop? Could this person be buying time for the reinforcements of the Four Great Khanates? Will the Yuan Dynasty rise again when the Four Great Khanates arrive? Counterattack, in order to drive my imperial guards out of their land?"
