Wang Xiu's answer made Wang Lun shrink for a while, which one is not gentle and elegant in foreign affairs, it is so straightforward, it simply does not give people a little room for maneuver. "Even at the last moment of the Jurchen people's deliberate southern expedition, Mu Han still entertained the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty very politely, but said during the meal that he would not be so entertaining next time.

Although the Civil War was fought very cruelly, the high-level contacts were polite and polite, and they all revolved around the fig leaf, just like scolding the noblewoman, it was your family Taishang who sold you to me, and I have the certificate in hand.

"I don't want to be scolded by the people as soon as I left Donghua Gate." Wang Xiu's eyes were cold, and he slowly picked up the celadon teacup, filtered the tea leaves, tasted it carefully, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Tonggu is not a fool, of course he knows his conditions, absolutely no one dares to agree, what Wang Xiu said is light, it is not good that he was slaughtered as soon as he left Donghua Gate.

Oh, that's also talking about Donghua Gate, Jiangning's palace layout is the same as Kaifeng, and the Shangshu Rite Department is outside the Xuande Gate, and it is impossible to enter and exit through Donghua Gate.

Wang Xiu's single-handed straight entry obviously made him unable to obtain greater benefits, although he didn't like Wang Xiu very much, but he didn't like the Great Song Dynasty even more, when it came to this, Wang Xiu's strong posture was very clear, either fight or fight, there was no need to discuss.

But he made a difficulty, Wang Xiu once again played his cards out of common sense, and it was difficult for him to be really tough. As a Han official valued by the Jurchens, he still has a relatively thorough understanding of the entire country, not to mention the Khitan, Xi and other Fan tribes, even the Jurchens' war-weariness is also increasing year by year.

It should be that as the Great Song Dynasty continued to grow stronger, the Jin army returned every time it sent troops, and suffered huge losses, and even the Jurchen horse army suffered thousands of casualties.

Not only did the Jurchen chieftains' attitude towards war change, but even the low-level officials and common people began to dislike the continuous war. Every time a man goes on an expedition, the family will kill a pig and bury it in place of the funeral of the man who goes out on the expedition.

Even when he said goodbye to Wushu, he didn't see that Wushu had the intention of beating Huaishang, so he asked for a price, hoping to scare the Great Song Dynasty and let the Jurchens see the hope of the southern expedition.

As the minister of the Jurchens, he is considered very qualified.

Wang Xiu didn't care about Zhang Tonggu at all, he was determined to eat this guy, and dared to ask for a price in front of him, Nima, he was impatient, and he was in a hurry to kill someone.

Wang Lun was embarrassed, seeing that Zhang Tonggu's face was uncertain, he simply became a good man, and said with a light smile: "It's not early today, and everyone is tired, so let's rest for the time being, and it's not too late to talk about it tomorrow." ”

Zhang Tonggu got down the stairs, so he naturally laughed dryly, and said dejectedly: "Yes, it's really not good for people to get older, how can they be as young and strong as Wang Xianggong." These words have the flavor of ridiculing Wang Xiu's youth, but they are not domineering at all just now, and they have already given in a little.

Wang Xiu didn't bother to pay attention to this guy, the strength of diplomatic relations, and the diplomatic skills at the apex of the war, Zhang Tonggu and his ilk did not have superb diplomatic skills, he smiled disdainfully: "It's okay, the twilight years of a strong man can be regarded as full of pride." ”

The corners of Zhang Tonggu's mouth twitched, and the hand that had just picked up the teacup shook, almost spilling out the best group tea.

Wang Lun went to send Zhang Tonggu, but Zhang Jun turned to look at Wang Xiu and said lightly: "Wenshi really wants to fight"

"Hit" Wang Xiu glanced at Zhang Jun strangely, like looking at a monster, and turned around and entered the lobby.

Zhang Jun was very unwilling, followed Wang Xiu's side, and said hurriedly: "The first battle was lost, but the strength of the Northern Army is still there, and the captive front is extended, so we can fight back." ”

Wang Xiu smiled indifferently, went into the house and picked up the teacup and took a sip, in history, Zhao Gou's evaluation of Zhang Jun was really decent, and he was really talented and sparse, and he couldn't even see this bit of greasyness.

The development of the Great Song Dynasty has reached a critical moment, and the strategic orientation is to the south and west, and it must not fight hard with the strong Jurchens.

Of course, it's not that the Great Song Dynasty can't fight, and now it has the foundation for a decisive battle with the Jurchens, and if it is really desperate, I don't know who will kill the deer.

However, he pursues the maximization of interests, and he will never attack the strongest before he absolutely crushes his strength, so as not to burn the jade and let the turtle pick up the leaks.

Fighting a war is to fight for strategic guidance, and it is true to fight for comprehensive national strength, but the use of tactics may also be indispensable. It is true that the Great Song Dynasty is thriving, but it can only compete with the military strength of the Jurchens, and it is not yet up to the Cheng Dù of a steady victory, especially the Ma army is at a disadvantage, the new equipment is still immature, and some tactical formations are still being explored.

Just as the new military system was just promulgated and implemented, there was a lack of a command link between the metropolitan division and the military division, resulting in the inability of the metropolitan division to command a large number of military divisions, and the battalion was set up in an emergency.

Fighting the Jurchens requires a strong national strength, a stable rear, a strong horse army corps with complete strategies and tactics, and mature technology to support, and it should be said that it is more appropriate to say that it is a mixed army with the horse army as the core.

Therefore, while he carried out the conquest of the South China Sea and obtained a large number of development resources, he also had a strange mind about Hexi, and the reason why many good horses and Han and Tang dynasties were prominent was that they raised millions of horses in the northwest and formed a horse army that could be consumed.

The horse army of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, although it was not as good as the Han and Tang Dynasties, but it was not weak, at that time it was still indirectly controlled part of the horse-producing area, and at the peak of the formation of a horse army of 50,000 people, the battle of Yangshan was the only time that the Great Song Dynasty confronted the Khitan horse army.

The 40,000 Great Song Dynasty horse army defeated the 60,000 Khitan horse army, killed 15 generals above the unified army, and obtained more than 20,000 heads, which prompted the Empress Dowager Xiao to speed up her determination to seek the good of the north-south alliance, but the Great Song horse army did not fall day by day.

Zhang Jun saw that Wang Xiu was silent, and he was extremely unhappy, he and Wang Xiu were the same year, and they were already deputy prime ministers, and he was still mixed with qualifications in Jiuqing, and he was more popular than others.

Seeing that Wang Xiu was still selling Guanzi, how could he be happy, and couldn't help but say bluntly: "Wenshi, is it a good alliance again?"

"Well, it's a must." Wang Xiu replied, and his answer was very firm, and there was no room for negotiation.

Zhang Jun's face changed, his eyes glared at Wang Xiu, and he said sharply: "Wenshi, the imperial court has 200,000 forbidden troops along the river, and they will fight it, so why bother talking to them again, simply abolish the humiliating covenant in the past." ”

"I want to too" Wang Xiu put it in the cup and said lightly: "But if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, Brother Deyuan don't be impatient." ”

The corners of Zhang Jun's mouth twitched, staring at Wang Xiu and said: "I really don't know what Wen really thinks, the captives broke the contract first, and the court has saved face and taken advantage of the reason." ”

"Of course you have to fight, and you have to fight strongly." Wang Xiu disdained Zhang Jun's theory, what is a rational word, and he is a bird in front of swords and guns.

This battle must continue to be fought, even if others are willing to stop, he will continue to fight, not for any unrealistic Northern Expedition, but for his own plans
