The struggle of the reborn prince

If the Jin army stays in the nest, even if it is defeated, it will pay a certain price, and Zhao Tun is a stingy person, so his subordinates naturally learned to care about every detail. Zhao Yong thought it was not worthwhile to come hard, so after the defeat of the Koryo encirclement campaign, He did not take further action, but while rectifying the Koryo army, he thought hard about a good strategy, and when he had an idea, he informed the emperor and asked him to check it and cooperate by the way.

"Well, now that Wushu has food and soldiers, and his back is in the country, what should he do if he doesn't want to move?" Zhao Tong spread his hands and said.

"Then force him to move, coax them to move!" Xin Zhao said casually.

"You are really a mother, and you have used the tricks of coaxing children to fight!" Zhao Tang teased her.

"The way is one, so to speak, everything in the world is the same, sometimes you have to treat your child as an enemy!" Xin Zhao said with a white look at the emperor.

"Tsk tsk, it's still a set, Yu'er is unlucky to have a mother like you! Then how can I coax you?" Zhao Tang smacked his lips and said.

"The Jurchens don't want to withdraw their troops. Although we can't cross the sea, we can start from Liaodong and poke their hearts. How can Wanyan Quan dare to send more troops to Goryeo? I'm afraid he will have to issue imperial edicts to transfer Wushu back to the army; Defeated, lost troops will be unable to fully defend, just leaving a gap, as long as Wushu is not stupid, he will definitely take the opportunity to move, and the main road is controlled by our army, he can only choose the small road. Go inside!" Xin Zhao said.

"Hey, if you weren't a woman, you would definitely become the number one wise general in Song Dynasty. How much worry do I need to save!" Xin Zhao only got a rough idea.But after a little analysis, she came up with a countermeasure, and her thoughts coincided with Zhao Yong's, so Zhao Tong patted her hand with a little emotion.

"Second Lord is the number one wise general in the Song Dynasty. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to recruit so many good students!" Xin Zhao smiled shyly and pulled out his hands.

"Hehe, I'm the number one wise general in the Song Dynasty? I'm the head of the number one tour shop in the Song Dynasty!" Zhao Tong turned over and said with a wry smile.

"Why?" Xin Zhao asked puzzled.

"Think about it, not to mention how many things happened in the Song Dynasty in a day, Dali wanted Buddhist scriptures, Xixia wanted food, the Mughals wanted territory, the Gaochang people wanted to rebel, and the Jurchens wanted my life, so I had to sleep with my eyes open. Eyes. If you can’t see it, it will catch fire. I beat the fire every day. Isn’t this the job of patrolling the shop?” Zhao Tun said with a bitter face.

"Second Master is really good at joking!" Zhao Xin couldn't stop laughing at the emperor's analogy.However, she felt that the emperor's words were vivid. Although the country was gradually getting on the right track, it was also a period of transition, and some of the emperor's new policies were being rolled out in an all-round way.Diverge to surrounding remote areas.And these things are not all in line with everyone's wishes, and some things will inevitably happen.

"It's rare to be free for half a day in life, and my ancestors have spirits, which allow me to be free for a few days every year!" Zhao Tang bowed his hands to the sky with a stern face.

"Second Lord, the Jurchens are already at the end of their strength after so many years of besieging and attacking us. Why don't you take the opportunity to destroy the country with all one's strength, then the Second Master will be a big deal, and you can take a break!" heartache.Now it is not difficult to attack it with the military strength of Song Dynasty, but the emperor never did it.Xin Zhao was also very curious, not knowing what the emperor was thinking.

"Hehe, you're right. The Kingdom of Jin was no longer our opponent a few years ago. It is not impossible to conquer it, but the time has not come. It is still useful to keep it!" Zhao Tong said with a smile.

"The time hasn't come yet?! After years of civil strife, the Kingdom of Jin has declined and its talents have withered. There are few people who can use it except Wushu. After our economic blockade, its economy has collapsed. Lack of money stopped the construction, and they could only increase taxes to maintain it, making the people resentful, and they sent troops to Korea to alleviate financial difficulties through looting, and now that their army is out, isn't it a good opportunity to send troops?" Xin Zhao was very unhappy. The solution said, it is said that this is a rare opportunity to send troops.

"Not necessarily. As the saying goes, a centipede is dead but not stiff. Although the Kingdom of Jin is no longer a real threat, it still occupies a vast northeast and Mobei region, with a population of millions. If we want to destroy it, we must Mobilize the power of the whole country and spend all the accumulation over the years, which may delay our goal of rejuvenating the Great Song Dynasty, or even die!" Zhao Tong expressed his worries and the serious consequences of using troops. After ten years of recuperation, the Great Song Dynasty It's just that he's just calmed down.

"The second master is not that serious?" Xin Zhao felt that the emperor's thoughts were a bit exaggerated.

"After the two dynasties of the rule of Wen and Jing and the recuperation of Emperor Wu in the early days of the Han Dynasty, the national power can be said to have reached its peak. Therefore, Emperor Wu sent troops three times to sweep Mobei to defeat the Xiongnu, annexed North Korea and other countries, and opened up the largest territory of the Han Dynasty. His achievements were brilliant. However, due to successive years The war exhausted the national treasury, leading to the decline of the people's livelihood, and the chaos among the people. In his later years, Emperor Wu had to declare to the people of the world with the "Edict of Guiding Oneself in Luntai" that he had caused suffering to the people. Regret in the heart, but the bad results sow the big man from prosperity to decline, no matter how difficult it is to be brilliant, we have to learn from it!" Zhao Tong said, he also wanted to fight the world, but he had to remind himself from time to time Don't be too hotheaded to repeat the same mistakes.

"Second Master, is that why you let Jin Guo go?" Zhao Xin thought about the truth of the emperor's words, but she didn't believe that the emperor would let the Jurchens go.

"How is it possible, the shame of Jingkang must be reported, and we will do it again and again!" Zhao Tang said without hesitation, how can the shame of the whole nation be forgotten!

"Second Master, won't you?" Xin Zhao asked with some puzzlement, except for two large-scale military operations against Jin and the continuous economic blockade against Jin, there were no other substantive actions.

"Hehe, why not?" Zhao Tong smiled and said, "Helping the Duan family in Dali to govern is not only to get copper, but also to stabilize our rear; to win over Xixia and now to reinforce Goryeo cut off the left and right arms of the Jin Kingdom, Eliminate their foreign aid for our use and keep them isolated!"

"Then the purpose of preparing for the expedition to Gaochang is to encircle the Kingdom of Jin?" Xin Zhao asked with his head tilted.

"If it's just Gaochang, is it worth our expedition? It's just a monkey that just jumps up and down, loves to take advantage, and doesn't know how to be satisfied!" Zhao Tong said with a sneer.

"Then His Majesty is for Yelu Dashi's Xiliao? The second master wants to destroy them all!" Zhao Xin asked in surprise.

"No, Xiliao and our Great Song Dynasty have common enemies, and they will eventually become our friends, and they have been driven thousands of miles away and are no longer a threat to us!" Zhao Tun shook his head and said, he knew that the west of Xiliao was another In a world with different cultures, they are also coveting the prosperous Song Dynasty, and Xiliao is the first hurdle they need to cross, and it is also an outpost to attack the Song Dynasty.

"Then will they communicate with us?" Xin Zhao asked unnaturally. Although she was older than Da Song, but she was born in Khitan, she inevitably had a little concern in her heart, and she didn't want Da Song to fight with her mother clan.

"Yelu Dashi is a smart man, he will understand our kindness, besides, the princess and you are here, we are still relatives, broken bones are still connected!" Zhao Tang saw Xin Zhao's uneasiness, and smiled Comforting her, "Actually, the purpose of this expedition is to show the strength of our Song Dynasty. We want to demonstrate to the Tatars in Mobei and tell them to rebel against Song Dynasty. Even if they are thousands of miles away, we will not let him go!"

"The second master wants to take back those Tatars?" Xin Zhao said with a sigh of relief.

"Well, the Central Plains and the North have been enemies since ancient times. Rouran, Xianbei, Xiongnu, Tuque, Khitan, and Jurchens have fought for thousands of years, and the ups and downs have never stopped. The Jurchens are gone, naturally Another nation will take the opportunity to rise and become a new threat to the Central Plains!" Zhao Tong nodded.

"So this is one of the reasons why the second master didn't destroy the Kingdom of Jin, he wanted to use it to control the other!" Xin Zhao said after thinking for a while.

"You are smart. The Jurchens are a sick cat in our eyes, but they are still a tiger in the eyes of the mice. With it in the town of Mobei, there will be no big storms for the time being. But the sick cat is gone, and the mice will die." It’s time to turn the world upside down and rekindle the flames of war in our northwest, so now we need to let the frightened mice find a safe nest before the sick cat dies!” Zhao Tong said, “But I know that there is nothing that will not fall. There is no immortal person, and there is no eternal country. It is impossible for me to solve this problem once and for all that cannot be solved for thousands of years, but I want to let Song Dynasty obtain a hundred years of peace that may only be temporary in the long history.

"Second Master, I found out that you have changed a lot!" Xin Zhao murmured while looking at the emperor who had let go of his eyes.

"Yeah, I also feel that I've changed a lot!" Zhao Tang said with a wry smile, "When I first arrived in Xiangyi, I thought that being a rich man in the countryside would be better than being a prisoner in the capital, so I began to think of ways I earn money to buy land; but some people don’t want me to live in peace, I want to stay away from them and let them please my father, so I went to the northwest, defeated the Xixia people, governed the place, and wanted to build a paradise; but I am strong, my daughter The real person came again, the father abdicated the throne, and the emperor brother ascended the throne. He was afraid that I would rob his emperor, so he tried every means to get rid of me; People, the Jurchens were driven away, but I became the emperor. To be an emperor, I want to expand the territory, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, resist foreign humiliation, and be a good emperor... I am getting farther and farther away from my original goal!"

"Second Master, as you often say, the higher the position, the greater the responsibility, you are the emperor, the lord of the people!" Xin Zhao said leaning on the emperor's chest.

"Oh, it's better to say that the buttocks determine the head. The higher the buttocks sit, the more the head thinks, and the more it wants!" Zhao Tang said with a sigh, the chair under his buttocks is so fucking uncomfortable...( To be continued..)
