"After the Great Food War is over, will our dynasty send troops to unify the three hundred states in Kanto?

Zhao Xingde looked at Wang Wuwei, his gaze was like substance, and even Gao Su and Liu Zhijian's faces changed slightly.

In the past ten days, this Shuzhong general has been on the ship almost every day to report and contact, and he is very familiar with Zhao Xingde and the generals of the navy. Wang Wuwei doesn't seem to have a city government, but he is actually a very delicate character, what he can say and what he can't say, he knows it clearly in his heart. Zhao Xingde is in charge of both countries, and the matter of Xia Guo's attack on the Song Dynasty is a very sensitive topic. But at the time of parting, Wang Wuwei made this topic clear. If he is not confused, someone behind him is testing Zhao Xingde's attitude.

In front of several scrutinizing eyes, Wang Wuwei had a respectful smile on his face, waiting for Zhao Xingde's answer.

"This means to take care of the government." Zhao Xingde said softly, lifted the teacup, and took a sip.

A trace of disappointment flashed on Wang Wuwei's face, and General Sui instructed him to ask Zhao Xingde this question, and he knew that General Sui was also sending a message to Zhao Xingde for the high-level figures in the Five Mansions. Zhao Xingde must understand this implication, if he only raises out the Protectorate Mansion to avoid the substance, his posture is too ambiguous, and even despised. Could it be that the Protectorate decided to attack Kanto, and he couldn't lead his troops out without saying a word? Even if he offered a price at will, the big people in the five mansions would discuss it with him. What I am most afraid of is that the two sides are suspicious of each other, which will accumulate over time, and eventually lose trust and cause irreparable consequences. Just as he was sighing in his heart, Zhao Xingde spoke again.

"In my foolish opinion, with the size of the Song country and the large population, if the government is harmonious and the top and bottom are united, it is not a good strategy to forcibly send troops to attack the Song Dynasty. Even a temporary victory in the war will not end in the short term. If the people of the Song land could not be distributed to the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition, it would be difficult to maintain morale. However, if the land and people of the Kanto region were divided among the soldiers, it would be difficult to pacify the Song Kingdom, and the war would drag on for a longer time. If the loss of troops is too much, the Protector Mansion will quarrel again," Zhao Xingde said in a deep voice, "If this is the case, Zhao will definitely discourage the Protector Mansion from taking the risk of provoking a war." If it doesn't work, Zhao will just disarm himself and return to the field. ”

"In the final analysis, it is born from the same root," Zhao Xingde put the tea cup on the table and sighed, "Why is it too anxious to fry each other." ”

"If it's another situation, Kanto can't defend itself, centrifugal up and down, Zhao thinks he will contribute to the unification of the world," Zhao Xingde looked out the window at the sea and sky, "The soldiers and the people are the biggest capital, and if there are fewer casualties, try to reduce casualties." Don't just look at a corner of the place, the world outside is still big. He turned his face, looked at Wang Wuwei, Gao Su and the others, and muttered, "Qin loses his deer, and the world will chase him." After the Battle of Great Food, whether our dynasty will enter the Kanto region is the right to protect the country, but the root of it depends on whether the Song State can defend itself. After he finished speaking, his eyes looked at Wang Wuwei calmly.

Wang Wuwei looked at him in surprise, just now he felt that his attitude was ambiguous, but now this answer is too frank.

With such a clear attitude, he doesn't care whether he will offend the upper echelons of the Five Mansions, isn't he afraid that after the Great Food War, the general will immediately snatch his military power? Or is he fearless, relying on his unbreakable foundation in the Kanto region, but he is a pivotal figure between the Song and Xia dynasties, and he is not afraid to turn his face with the high-level figures of the five prefectures? Didn't he know that the allusion of pivotality was to describe Han Xin of Chu and Han? And Han Shin's fate ...... Is he open-minded, fearless, or both......

"The general's meaning, the last general knows, please forgive the last general's abrupt crime."

Wang Wuwei bowed his head and arched his hand, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Zhao Xingde's achievements in Liaodong, southeast, and Henan, even among the overseas feudal states, Shuzhong and Jinghu, southeast are usually a long time, and the attitude of the Shu people towards the Song people is also relatively close, however, the lieutenant of Shu not only has little influence in the five provinces, but also divides into several factions to fight with each other, so the influence of the lieutenant of Shu on the protectorate is almost nothing. Because of this, with General Sui's position second to none in the Shu army, he could only test Zhao Xingde's attitude for the five mansions. If it were Xu Wenhu of the Anxi Military Division, Wu Jie and others from the Andong Military Division, it would be impossible to accept the things instructed by others. Zhao Xingde's calm attitude is no different from Xu Wenhu and Wu Jie, and he is worthy of his status as the admiral of the Southwest Navy Division and the Zhuguo Mansion of the Zhuguo.

Wang Wuwei secretly had a sense of awe, and respectfully said goodbye to Zhao Xingde and left.

Next to the trestle where the sailor's boat was moored, a group of Annan gentry were still waiting for Wang Wuwei, and when they saw him get off the boat, they came over.

"General Wang, can you go to the Humble House and discuss how to allocate land to the Chamber of Commerce for autonomy?"

The Annam gentry had different shades of smiles on their faces, revealing their teeth of yellow and black, like the color of old copper coins.

They looked at Wang Wuwei as if they were staring at a large pile of silver. After Zhao Xingde wrote to the Xia Imperial Court that he was preparing to carve out the autonomous area of the Chamber of Commerce in Yuntun Port, these local gentry set their sights on this piece of fat. If you can buy the land in the autonomous area of the Chamber of Commerce first, and then sell it to the merchants of the Song State at a high price in the future, you will make a windfall out of thin air.

Annan is very special, and in the eyes of the Chinese, this is a miasma and barbaric place. In the eyes of the Annam people, far back in the Qin and Han dynasties, Annam was no different from China, but he was just a king. Most of the people in Annam were illiterate, but the gentry and merchants were all reading Chinese books and Chinese characters, and the newspapers and news of the Song Dynasty often reached Annam within a month or two, and the gentry and merchants here also watched the discord between the Song and Xia kingdoms. The land purchase and sale in the autonomous area of the Chamber of Commerce is just a weather vanguard, and if the imperial court has the intention of supporting the merchants of Annam to balance the maritime merchants of the Song Kingdom, I don't know how much profit there will be in the future.

If they indulge their wanton speculation and thoughts, I don't know how big a mess they will make in the future?

"General Wang, give me a face." "General Wang, General Wang, please ......"

As the saying goes, it's hard to hit a smiling person with a hand, a pair of fiery eyes stared at Wang Wuwei, staring at the auction of the green building. The bud of the young prostitute is the same. Wang Wuwei felt a burst of heat in his heart, and suddenly it was cold, Zhao Xingde's eyes seemed to be hanging in the dark, he snorted, stretched out his hand to separate everyone, and said in a rough voice: "I'm sorry, General Zhao has made a big plan, first send someone to Guangzhou to send a list to attract businessmen to come over, and then discuss with everyone how to divide the land and open the port, and prepare for the establishment of the chamber of commerce autonomy." ”

"I'm sorry, Wang is in military affairs, let one go, let one go, and go to the house another day to disturb him."

Wang Wuwei divided the crowd with his arms, and everyone didn't dare to block and get out of the way, so he hurried back to Yuntun City to report.

In the White Tiger Hall, Gao Su and Liu Zhijian had different colors.

Just now, Wang Wuwei asked the question that they were puzzled about, and Zhao Xingde's words not only confirmed some of the speculations in their hearts, but also made them secretly worried. Over the years, Gao and Liu have fought with Zhao Xingde, formed a deep friendship, and also had some speculation about Zhao Xingde's position, and have been worried that he will fall out with the five mansions because of the affairs of the Song Kingdom.

"Lord Zhao, I don't know who is the master behind General Wang, there won't be trouble with this message, right?"

Gao Su said in a deep voice, and Liu Zhijian also nodded, and the two of them were obviously worried about Zhao Xingde.

"It's okay," Zhao Xingde shook his head and said with relief, "As the Shangzhu State of Luoyang and the protector of the people, I have a responsibility, and it is within my duty to make some suggestions on the general trend of the Kanto region. I originally wrote a book, and before I left Yuntun, I was going to hand it over to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He took out a notebook from the bookcase next to him and put it on the desk, which had been sealed and painted, and was obviously ready.

Gao Su saw that he had already prepared, took the post bag and nodded, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot about this experience." ”

Shangzhu Guo and the identity of the protector of the people, respect is extraordinary, it is impossible to be convicted of words and deeds in the court, no matter who instructs Wang Wuwei to listen to the tone, Zhao Xingde officially wrote the book, and his attitude is obvious, but no one has anything to say. It's a big deal that the imperial court won't need him to lead the troops east to conquer the Song State in the future, as long as Zhao Xingde doesn't turn around and fight for the Song State, he won't have any problems. As for the dispute between the Xia State and the Song State, in the eyes of Xia people like Gao Su and Liu Zhijian, it was only a matter of time before the world was unified, and it was not something that manpower could resist at all.

"General Zhao is not only a blessing to the people of Luoyang, but also to the people of the Song Kingdom."

The two laughed and joked, but Zhao Xingde shook his head and sighed: "I am blessed to be born in this township." ”

Some scenes from the past came to his mind, and he said slowly: "Born ignorant, like a blank sheet, the so-called close to Zhu is red, close to ink is black, when I was exiled to Huangzhou with my father, I was displaced, and the officials were embarrassed everywhere, nearly a thousand miles away, if there was no care of benevolent and righteous people, we would have become dry bones in the grave." Sometimes, as soon as we left on the front foot, the crooked henchmen on the back foot came to frame us, but there were still many people who greeted us along the way. At that time, I knew what it meant to be a hot sausage in the ancient way, and I would rather bend than bend. ”

Zhao Xingde's eyes showed a look of embarrassment, as if he remembered the voices and smiles of the old people who had taken care of him.

"In the third year of Xuanhe, the imperial court lifted the party shackles, and I went to Bianliang to study. At that time, Cai Jing and Tong Guanshang were in power, while Chen Shaoyang, Zhang Minghuan and others did not avoid suspicion, became friends with me, and learned from each other. Mr. Chao and Mr. Li often mentioned their lives, and even ...... "A trace of sweetness flashed in his heart, and he felt a lot of guilt, "When the post was exposed, everyone in the Li Society only relied on their enthusiasm, and they did not hesitate to gamble on their future, but also to bring down the power traitor, Senior Brother Song risked being ruined to help me escape to Kansai, at that time, who considered life and death, honor and disgrace." ”

"Drink and peck ......" He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "If you hadn't met these Song people, there would be no Zhao Xingde today." ”
