The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 762 Difficult decision
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty, Shangbang." These two people were just spies, and they were of course happy to be named a Viscount.

"Get up, Zhou Dabao listens." Zhao Kuangyin shouted again.

Zhou Dabao was stunned for a moment, why is there still my business, originally he wanted to finish what the prince told him, and it would be done without any mistakes, so why did he still ask me to accept the seal, but he still knelt down honestly.

"My humble minister Zhou Dabao is here."

"The former Bozhou Forbidden Army Commander Zhou Dabao has made great achievements for our Great Song Dynasty, and he deserves to be rewarded heavily. He has been conferred the title of the third-class Viscount of Loyalty and Bravery. I respect you!"

"Ah! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Long live my emperor!"

Zhou Dabao kowtowed like garlic, how could such a good thing happen to him, it was just a trivial matter to protect two people under the order of the crown prince.

At that time, I was still unwilling to send so many people to protect the two, and even gave the death order. At that time, I didn't understand.

Now that he has actually obtained such a great benefit, it seems that there is absolutely nothing wrong with listening to his master.

"Okay, let's all go down. By the way, let people treat these two Qingyuan Army members well. I must not neglect you. Let the Ministry of Rites handle it."

Zhao Kuangyin was obviously pushing people away, could anyone understand what the emperor meant, so everyone, Zhou Dabao and the two men from the Qingyuan army withdrew together.

"Sir, is Zhao Pu wondering why I lost my composure today, right? You will know how I feel when I show you something, hahaha."

Besides size, Zhao Kuangyin didn't forget to ask someone to pass the things in his hand to the two people below.

Miao Xun and Zhao Pu didn't know what it was either, Zhao Kuangyin laughed out loud just looking at it.

What is this military and civilian book, this is Qingyuan Army's military and civilian book, this is such an important thing, Miao Xun and Zhao Pu looked at each other, they finally understood why Zhao Kuangyin was so excited.

Not stingy with titles, three titles were conferred at once, which is enough for one person to be crowned king.

"Your Majesty, this is a good thing. As long as we have this Qingyuan Army, we will belong to Song Dynasty. Congratulations, Your Majesty, for recovering the Qingyuan Army!"

Zhao Pu is not flattering, but really congratulates Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin has recovered the Jinghu area before, and now if the Qingyuan Army is in the pocket, it will bring the unification of the world one step closer!

"The emperor's military and civilian books are too hot to touch. I thought it was not the time to have these!"

A sudden voice reminded me that there were not many people who dared to say something depressing when Zhao Kuangyin was happy, and Miao Xun was one of them.

"Sir, why did you say that? This is what they dedicated to the emperor, and it wasn't sent by the emperor to fetch it. It was sent by them willingly. This is called Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai. Why did you say that it is not the case now?" when?"

Zhao Pu also didn't know what Miao Xun was thinking. How could there be such a good thing if he didn't want the things that were sent for nothing.

Zhou Yu was still willing to fight Huang Gai, and he was willing to suffer. Now that he sent his own land, there is no need, and it is more valuable than the land.

You can acquire land by force, but the army and the people cannot be conquered by force, because force can conquer the land, but the people cannot be conquered by force.

This military and civilian booklet is the basis for collecting taxes in a place, so the general conquest of a place is very fancy about things.

"Your Majesty Zhao, listen to me, we are not yet ready for a battle with Nantang. If we take the Qingyuan army into our pocket right now, will Nantang keep silent?"

When Miao Xun said this, he didn't say anything, because his meaning was already obvious, and both Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu could understand it.

The Qingyuan army has no less than one hundred thousand households and tens of thousands of soldiers. If Da Song wants to take down the Qingyuan army without saying a word, that is impossible.

The Qingyuan army is equivalent to the arm of the Southern Tang Dynasty. If it is eaten by the Song Dynasty again, there really will not be much left in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Nan Tang will definitely do his best to fight Da Song. If Da Song was in the past, he would not be afraid, but now Da Song really can't afford it.

Because since the Song Dynasty wiped out the Jinghu area, all the forces have set their sights on the Song Dynasty.

No one knows who Da Song's next target is, because Da Song is very strong now, maybe he will attack someone.

So if there is any movement in Song Dynasty now, other forces will definitely be ready to move, and they will unite to deal with Song Dynasty.

No one can guarantee that other forces will not hold back when the Song Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty are fighting.

You must know that the Southern Tang Dynasty is a big country, and it is not so easy to move him. Now is not the time for Zhou Shizong to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty. At that time, people did not dare to use force easily.

This balance was lost when the Song Dynasty unified the Jinghu area. Everyone could see that the Song Dynasty wanted to unify the world, so it would not allow the Song Dynasty to destroy another country.

"No way, Southern Tang didn't have the guts to fight us. Otherwise, they wouldn't have ceded the fourteen prefectures in Jiangbei to the Great Zhou at that time. Now that the Great Song is stronger than Zhou, if we launch an attack on Southern Tang The battle will surely capture him."

Zhao Pu just disagreed. In his opinion, the current Great Song Dynasty is so powerful that he is not afraid of the provocation of the Southern Tang Dynasty at all.

"Hey, Mr. Zhao is talking about the past. The current situation has undergone some changes. At this time, there is a conflict with the Southern Tang Dynasty. This will not be conducive to our future unification. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Miao Xun kicked the ball to Zhao Kuangyin, let's see what the emperor thinks, the people below are just offering opinions, the specifics are still up to you to decide.

Zhao Kuangyin also fell into silence at this time. He also heard what the two people said just now, and he was also thinking about it.

In other words, he was weighing the pros and cons, because in his opinion, this time the Qingyuan army took the initiative to show their favor and revealed their most important things. This Chen Hongjin really knows the current affairs.

It is much better than staying with the effect, and he directly wants to be a part of the Song Dynasty. From this point of view, Zhao Kuangyin is really very happy.

But what Miao Xun said is not unreasonable. This thing is really a temptation for him. It is a difficult decision for a force to take the initiative to submit to him.

Just like what Miao Xun said, if Da Song really accepted the military-civilian booklet on the bright side, then he and Nan Tang would really tear themselves apart, and war would be inevitable.

But Da Song is really not ready recently, and he must not start a war easily, but how can he slip away like this with the fat on his lips.

This is really a difficult choice, and Zhao Kuangyin really didn't make a decision for a while.
