...

After Zhao Gou and Wang Boyan came to the front hall, Zhao Gou said: "Knowing that the father and brother were deposed by the gold thieves, and all the members of the family were captured by the gold thieves, the lonely king was too sad to consider the current actual situation. , and hastily ordered to send troops, please forgive me."

Huang Qianshan and others paid homage one after another:
"We can understand your Majesty's sorrow. The gold thief wants to destroy my Great Song Dynasty. This enmity is irreconcilable. However, if you can't bear it, you will make a big conspiracy."

"All the ministers have received the state's favor, and each has loyalty to repay, and they are willing to die and make meritorious deeds, but at present, it is really not an opportunity for a decisive battle."

"It's not that we are cowardly, it's that the current situation is not conducive to our Great Song Dynasty."

"..."

Seeing that everyone said that it is not appropriate to go to war now, Zhao Gou thought to himself, "Fortunately, Wang Boyan reminded me, otherwise the lonely king must be betrayed by all the relatives!"

Zhao Gou calmed down, and said: "Gu Wang has sent someone to contact Shanxi Propaganda Envoy Fan Zhixu and West Road Deputy Chief Sun Zhaoyuan, ordering them to lead the Shaanxi army to quickly enter Jingqin Wang, Fan Zhixu and Sun Zhaoyuan have just sent back news that On the way, they were strongly blocked by the [-] gold army led by Wanyan Loushi. They fought hard for more than a dozen times and suffered many casualties. They finally conquered Tongguan and were advancing eastward. They only waited for Fan Xuanfu to come to Tokyo , we will attack from south to north, and we will wipe out the Jin army and the Liangshan army."

Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan and others agreed with Zhao Gou, agreeing to wait until the most powerful western army in the Song Dynasty arrived before sending troops.

Seeing this, Zong Ze suddenly said inappropriately: "Generalissimo, Zong Ze requests to report alone!"

Hearing this, Zhao Gou's head hurts again!
Needless to say, Zhao Gou also knew that Zong Ze must have persuaded him to send troops when he filed the report alone.

To be honest, Zhao Gou has always disliked Zong Ze.

In addition to the fact that Zhao Gou had a bad impression of Zongze because of the incident in Cizhou, it was also because Zongze was too stubborn and always wanted to use force to solve the problem.

Not to mention, military force is the shortcoming of Song Dynasty. Even if the army of Song Dynasty can fight, it cannot always fight and kill. Politics is a game process, and force is only the last solution.

Zhao Gou really didn't understand, how could Zong Ze, who was almost 70 years old, get so angry.

But even though he doesn't like Zong Ze, Zhao Gou really can't do without Zong Ze.

Zhao Gou knew very well that although the Grand Marshal's Mansion now has nearly 20 troops, only Zongze's troops can really fight. Ze's trilogy.

Therefore, even though Zhao Gou didn't like Zongze, for the sake of the overall situation, Zhao Gou had to win over Zongze.

Based on this, Zhao Gou said softly, "The old general will follow me to the back hall." Then he got up and walked towards the back hall.

Zong Ze glanced at Wang Boyan and the others, then followed Zhao Gou's footsteps.

After the two came to the back hall, Zhao Gou said: "What does the old general have to say, but it doesn't matter."

Zong Ze said: "May I ask if the Generalissimo still wants his parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters, and the Great Song Dynasty?"

As soon as Zong Ze said this, the smile on Zhao Gou's face froze immediately!
Zhao Gou squeezed several times, but couldn't put on the warm smile before.

In the end, Zhao Gou could only sullenly say, "What are you talking about, old general? Old Gou is not a beast, so how can he not want relatives?"

Zong Ze waited for what Zhao Gou said, and said: "The emperor, your majesty, the emperor's family, and the Zong family were captured and abolished by the Jin people. Now they are all prisoners of the lower ranks. If they don't rescue them in time, they will be taken away by the Jin people." In the northeast, it is close to Tokyo, but it cannot be saved, but in the far northeast, how can it be saved?"

Who can fail to understand this simple truth?
Zhao Gou really couldn't deny it, so he could only cry: "Zhao Gou is useless, he is ashamed of his father, his elder brother, his relatives, and his clan!"

Zongze seemed to think that the words were not serious enough, and said: "Li Yan's reputation as a womanizer is known all over the world. The daughters of the Liao royal family, the Goryeo royal family, the Taifeng royal family's daughters, and the Japanese royal family's daughters have all been acquitted. He is in the harem, if he goes to Bianliang City, how can he let the daughter of the royal family of the Song Dynasty be spared?"

Zhao Gou was furious, "Old man Zongze, he didn't even save the last bit of face for the lonely king, it's hateful!"

It took Zhao Gou a lot of effort to suppress his disgust and anger towards Zong Ze, and then he seemed to confided in his heart: "As a son of man, how can you ignore your parents? As a husband and father, how can you ignore your own parents?" Wives, concubines, daughters? In fact, they really don’t have the conditions to send troops now. Fan Ne, Zhao Ye, and Weng Yanguo’s generation hold heavy soldiers, but they don’t listen to the command of the lonely king. He will take his men and horses to invest in the Jinren or Liaodong, and then self-defeating. The Jin Army and the Liangshan Army are both tigers and wolves in the world. If the Song Dynasty can't work together, how can they defeat them? He is a son, husband, and father, and he has to shoulder the 170-year history of the Song Dynasty. If it weren’t for this, Zhao Gou would have raised his sword and killed the gold thief and the Liaodong thief in Tokyo long ago, so as to vent Zhao Gou’s hatred!"

Zong Ze said: "Zong Ze is willing to solve Fan Na, Zhao Ye, and Weng Yanguo's generation for the Generalissimo, and collect all their soldiers for the Generalissimo, and then the Generalissimo can raise the army to go north."

Zhao Gou smiled wryly and said, "It's not easy, they don't even want to see the lonely king, so how can they accept his soldiers?"

A sternness flashed in Zong Ze's eyes, and then he said: "The generalissimo issued an order to let us discuss the issue of sending troops together. At that time, the old man will find an opportunity to violently kill those who have different ambitions, and then the generalissimo will You can send people to recruit their troops as a superior official, and when you are there, you will be united as one, united as one, and you can fight to the death with the Jin army and the Liangshan army!"

To be honest, Zhao Gou was very moved by Zong Ze's proposal.

If he can collect the soldiers and horses in the hands of these people in one fell swoop, then Zhao Gou will be worthy of his name as the Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses. He will no longer have to pretend to be the third grandson whenever he meets people, and he will no longer have to be polite to those treacherous officials who do not obey the emperor's orders. .

However, if Zongze can accomplish this, it is reasonable and reasonable, and the troops of Fan Ne, Zhao Ye, Weng Yanguo and others should be controlled by Zongze.

In this way, Zong Ze became bigger, and Zhao Gou couldn't stop Zong Ze even more.

The experience of the old Zhao family for more than 170 years told Zhao Gou that you must not trust warriors, and you must not put all your eggs in one basket.

Furthermore, what if Zongze fails?
That is bound to backfire.

At that time, the Great Song Dynasty will really be over, and it will undoubtedly perish.

Taking a step back, Zong Ze succeeded. After taking over the soldiers of Fan Ne, Zhao Ye, Weng Yanguo and others, he was also willing to be restrained by Zhao Gou, and then the two worked together to rescue his father and brother. Is this really good?

In their old Zhao family, there has never been a prince who holds a heavy army, or even a prince who holds great power. The only exception is his ancestor Zhao Kuangyi, who ended up "inheriting" Zhao Kuangyin's country. After that, the prince can only Enjoy the glory and wealth, but cannot enjoy the rights.

Taking a step back, even if he is allowed to be in power, he can be a prince with real power, but being such a prince is not as good as being an emperor?
Finally, Zhao Gou's heart hardened when he thought about how his imperial brother had sent him to Jinying to die twice, and how his father and emperor treated their mother and son.

The only thing Zhao Gou still cares about is Zhao Gou's mother Webster, concubine Xing Bingyi and five daughters.

But a man can take it up and let it go, a man must know how to choose, why does a man have to worry about having no wife or daughter?

After Zhao Gou pondered for a long time, he said: "This is a big matter, and the lonely king must discuss it with Deputy Marshal Wang and the others before making a decision."

After hearing this, Zong Ze turned around angrily, then walked out and said, "Discuss with Wang Boyan and other timid guys, how can this matter be done?"

Looking at Zong Ze's leaving back, Zhao Gou's face sank like water, and he didn't say a word...
