Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"That's the truth!" Zhang Qixian did not show weakness. "The only plan for now is to pay attention to the consolidation of the northwest frontier defense, first the base and then the end, and secure the inside to support the outside."

At this time, General Huang Ninghui said, "This is putting the cart before the horse! If we don't eliminate the border troubles, how can there be stability in the territory!"

"The general's words are wrong. Our Song soldiers have long needed to rest and rectify. How can we attack the enemy and seize the city? If we rush to send troops, it will only be a dangerous move. How can we gamble with the lives of our soldiers?"

The ministers of His Highness were discussing one after another, Zhenzong frowned, and Defang said, "My lords, be safe and don't be impatient. Whether to go to war or not is a matter of family and country, and it needs to be discussed by Xiangjia. Everyone above the court Arguing, I'm afraid it won't help the situation."

The officials became quiet after hearing this, and Zhenzong looked at the officials and said, "We will discuss this matter later, do you still have a book to play?"

Zhang Qixian continued to play, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Border Pass reported that due to Li Jiqian's harassment, the Liao people in the north have also changed recently. I believe that the troops in the Great Wall area should be strengthened as soon as possible to defend against the invasion of Dangxiang and the Liao army."

"It's Liao people again!" Zhenzong was very angry. "Military Department! This matter should be dealt with first, and more troops will be sent immediately."

"The minister obeys the order!"

After the court, several ministers stopped Zhang Qixian in front of the main hall, and the general Huang Ninghui said, "Master Zhang, you are the Minister of the Ministry of War, and you only know how to close yourself and defend yourself, and don't want to attack the enemy and expand the country."

"General Huang, it has been more than [-] years since the founding of the Song Dynasty. It is not easy to hold the inherent territory. Now it is impossible to talk about expanding the territory." Zhang Qixian said

"Master Zhang!" Huang Ninghui said unhappily, "Our Great Song Dynasty has many soldiers and generals, so it is not a problem to destroy the Dangxiang in the northwest. As long as Li Jiqian is defeated, the Dangxiang will be returned to our Great Song territory!"

"There are many soldiers, but the army is exhausted! General Huang, as a general, you understand this better than anyone else. Why do you say this at this time? Do you want the border town to become a city of death!"

"What are you talking about! Master Zhang, are you accusing me!" Huang Ninghui was very angry, and several other ministers were also discussing with each other, Huang Ninghui stepped forward and wanted to get close to Zhang Qixian.

Wei Zhaozhong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stopped Huang Ninghui, "Master Zhang, General Huang intends to attack Dangxiang's momentum. Now that Dangxiang is constantly harassing the border town, and the Liao people are eyeing them. If Dangxiang is not attacked at this time, it will be a serious disaster in the future. "

Zhang Qixian nodded, "Master Wei's words are reasonable, but under the current situation, our Great Song Dynasty can't hit the party hard. If we can't defeat Li Jiqian with one blow, it will definitely lead to a counterattack."

Huang Ninghui pushed Wei Zhaozhong away and said, "I don't want to hear this! Sending troops to the party is imperative!"

"General Huang!" Zhang Qixian was also very angry

"Okay!" At this moment Defang came over, "It's not proper for the important officials of the court to make such a noise in front of the gate of the Golden Palace!"

"See you, my lord!" Several ministers saluted

Defang looked at the ministers and said, "Is everything all right in the government offices, my lords?"

The ministers listened to this and said, "If something happens, if something happens, the ministers and others will leave first."

Wei Zhaozhong pulled Huang Ninghui and motioned him to go together. Huang Ninghui looked at Zhang Qixian with some displeasure. Seeing this, Defang said, "General Huang, if I remember correctly, today you should present the book you are stationing to the lonely king. Why? Didn't the lonely king see it?"
