The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 904
"emperor."

At this moment, the eunuch's voice suddenly sounded outside the house, "Eunuch Yi is here."

"Enter."

Zhao Dongting raised his head and shouted towards the door.

Yi Shiyu pushed open the door and entered the room.

Seeing the room full of people, this almost made the cautious eunuch tremble, and saluted one after another, "The slave bowed down to the emperor, the empress, and the concubine..."

In the end, he even had to salute Zhao An and Zhao Ru.

This made Zhao Dongting a little dumbfounded, and said: "The two of them don't understand, and they don't understand. Eunuch Yi, where did you get the letter again?"

Yi Shiyu replied: "Returning to the emperor is a letter from Liu An's envoy."

After finishing speaking, he got up and put the bamboo tube in his hand on the desk in front of Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting took out the letter from the bamboo tube and opened it.At first he was slightly stunned, then the smile on his face suddenly became thicker, and finally he laughed twice.

This made everyone in the room look at him.

Ying Er asked: "Your Majesty, did Liu An comfort the Hengshan Village?"

Zhao Dongting shook his head and said with a smile: "Not yet, but it will be soon. As long as the battle at Hengshanzhai is over, then the victory in this battle will be in my favor."

All the girls laughed lightly and didn't ask any more questions.

They are actually not that interested in the process and details of the war. What they care about is whether the victory will belong to Da Song in the end.

Zhao Dongting looked at Eunuch Liu, who was always at the door and did not disturb his family, and said, "Eunuch Liu, go and invite Master Lu and Master Su."

Lu Xiufu and Su Liuyi.

Eunuch Liu agreed, and walked out of the imperial study.

Yi Shiyu wanted to resign and went to wait outside the imperial study, but Zhao Dongting waved his hand, "It's okay, you just wait."

Yi Shiyu stood obediently again.It's just that for the trust in the emperor, gratitude spreads in my heart.

Zhao Dongting went down to correct the memorial again.

Being an emperor is really tiring.

Although he delegated the power to Lu Xiufu and others, there are still many things that need to be decided by him, the emperor himself.

In particular, if there are any natural disasters in various places, funds need to be allocated for disaster relief, etc., all of which need to be approved by Zhao Dongting himself.

Although decentralization, but Zhao Dongting will not be so stupid as to give up all the power.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and in this world, loyalty and kindness can't stand the erosion of profit sometimes.

Zhao Dongting didn't want to have the result of turning against each other because of too much trust and favor.

Not long after, Lu Xiufu and Su Liuyi followed Eunuch Liu into the house.

"The two lovers are exempt from courtesy."

Before the two of them saluted, Zhao Dongting said so.Then he stood up, took the secret letter from Liu Hongyi, got off the bed, and went to Lu Xiufu and the other two, "Let's take a look first."

"This, this is great joy!"

"God bless me!"

Lu Xiufu and Su Liuyi both read the secret letter and were overjoyed.

Zhao Dongting also smiled, and asked: "Only the two Ai Qing think that it is better for us to attack Hengshan stronghold by force, or force these Dali soldiers to return to the country?"

Lu Xiufu pondered slightly, "Does the emperor want to fight or just let it go?"

Zhao Dongting said, "Didn't I ask you this?"

Lu Xiufu did not give a direct answer, but said: "The old minister is not good at military affairs, so he dare not speculate. However, although rioters attack grain storages one after another in various cities, our army has only hundreds of thousands. If the emperor wants to fight, the veteran can guarantee that the food and grass in the army will not be in danger of being cut off."

"only……"

As he spoke, he was slightly frustrated, "If the fight continues like this, the grain and grass I have stored for the past two years may be empty."

Zhao Dongting didn't care, just smiled lightly, "It doesn't matter if it's empty. As long as the people everywhere are rich, I don't have to worry about not being able to collect taxes and food."

After speaking, he looked at Su Liuyi, "What do Master Su think?"

Su Liuyi frowned slightly, "If we fight, I'm afraid the soldiers under the three army commanders Zhang Hongwei, Miao Cheng, and Liu Zhuwen will suffer a lot. Your Majesty, at the moment, the garrison army of Jingjiang Mansion and Qiongzhou garrison commanded by Liu Anfu and Commander Ran The army has already suffered heavy losses, so if the fight continues... What I am worried about is whether the treasury can support the pensions of those fallen soldiers..."

Zhao Dongting looked at Lu Xiufu.

Lu Xiufu smiled wryly, "I can barely support it."

After all, what the Song Dynasty is now facing is not only Dali's army, but also the New Song and Yuan dynasties.How many soldiers will die in the future, no one can say now.

However, Zhao Dongting's compensation for the fallen soldiers was extremely heavy.

Zhao Dongting tapped his forehead lightly, feeling a little confused at this moment.Lu Xiufu and Su Liuyi didn't give him a suggestive answer at all.

"Then..."

In the end, Zhao Dongting still said: "Let's force them back to the country first!"

"Emperor Shengming."

Su Liuyi and Lu Xiufu didn't say much, they just held hands.

Perhaps, they also had such thoughts in their hearts.

The Great Song Dynasty was under too much pressure to face the attacks of more than one million troops from Dali, Xinsong, and Yuan dynasties at the same time.

After the two retreated, Zhao Dongting returned to the bed and wrote a letter to Liu Hongyi and others.

The main content of the letter is just two points.

First, the Dali army was forced out of the city, and then Miao Cheng, Liu Zhuwen, and Zhang Hong's great army rushed north to help Kuizhou Road.Liu Hongyi led the army to stay in Hengshanzhai for the time being, in case the Dali army retreated and returned.

Second, for the time being, let Wang Ziqian serve as the general staff in Zhang Hongwei's army, and then promote him in order to see the aftereffect.

There are pigeons flying to Yongzhou.

……

Dali Imperial City.

Duan Qilin naturally also received a secret letter from Chi Fenggu from Hengshan Village at this time.

Only compared to Zhao Dongting's great joy, this genius born in Guigu and Pojun almost got into the horns of jealousy of Zhao Dongting again.

His face was flushed, and he almost cursed.If he hadn't looked at the Mistress of Guigu Xuegong, he might have lost his composure.

Duan Qilin's hand holding the letter trembled slightly.

"Your Majesty, defeat?"

As for the Palace Master of Guigu Xuegong, he could tell many things from his expression.

Duan Qilin's face was a little sad at this moment, and he suddenly asked the master of Guigu Academy, "Teacher, can we really be Song's opponents?"

He handed the letter in his hand to the master of Guigu Xuegong, "Student asks himself that he has tried his best to plan. Looking at the three armies of Baima and Dali in central Shu, they all faced the Song army with several times their strength, and there are still soldiers in the army. Our brothers and sisters in the Guigu Academy make suggestions and take charge of the overall situation. According to the usual theory, with such a comparison of forces, our army should be invincible everywhere, but...why are there reports of defeat everywhere? The Seventh Army of the White Horse in Central Shu was defeated The army was defeated, and even the Hengshan Village... was also defeated."

More than 20 people...

His more than 20 Dali soldiers couldn't even win the Song Army camp with more than 2 people, and instead paid such a high price.

That's all.

No matter what Chi Fenggu said, he was also the top talent in the Guigu Academy. At this time, facing the less than [-] soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, he was so frightened that he was in a dilemma.

In the letter, although Chi Fenggu was wise to "swear to resist the Song army to the death", how could Duan Qilin fail to see what he meant?
If Chi Fenggu really intended to die like this, he would not use the word "resist", but "destroy".

As for Chi Fenggu's letter saying that the failure of the attack on the camp was due to the improper command of the prince, etc., Duan Qilin didn't expect the prince to intervene and just regarded it as bullshit.

Since he dared to appoint Wang Zigan as the general, how can he do countless things to the prince?
With the talent of the prince, there is not much possibility of such a thing as improper command.Chi Fenggu was shirking responsibility.

Now that the prince is "dead", Duan Qilin naturally has no point in pursuing this.

He stared straight at the Mistress of Guigu Xuegong, but his eyes gradually lost the radiant confidence they used to have.

The master of Guigu Academy lowered his head to read the letter, and his white eyebrows couldn't help but gradually furrowed, "The total loss of the army is more than [-], and there is no news from the Prince Qian's investigation of the Song camp..."

Even he felt embarrassed at this moment.

No one thought that Wang Ziqian and Chi Fenggu would be beaten like this by Song Jun even if they joined forces.

Never thought that Wang Ziqian and those masters who broke the military academy would die.

This kind of loss, indeed, even Palace Master Guigu felt a twitching pain at the apex of his heart.This is all the family background accumulated with great difficulty by his Guigu Academy and that Pojun Academy.

After a while, Duan Qilin asked the Palace Master of Guigu, "Teacher, the student's mind is in a mess now... Do you think we should let Chi Fenggu continue to fight, or retreat?"

The Palace Master of Ghost Valley pondered.
