The news of Zhao Gou's ascension to the throne and Liu Yu's peace talks reached Song Jiang's ears almost at the same time, and these two pieces of news were like throwing two bombs into the tent of the Chinese army, so that Song Jiang, Wu Yong, and Xu Guan, who were arranging troops and preparing to expand the results of the battle, were suffocated for a long time, and couldn't help frowning and pondering, thinking about coping strategies.

These two tricks are too ruthless!

Zhao Gou's accession to the throne marked a change in the Song Dynasty, although the person surnamed Zhao was still the emperor, but it was obviously two skins. It's like a pot or that pot, yesterday I made noodles, and suddenly today I made pig food, except for pigs, who can swallow it.

This is not uncomfortable, the most uncomfortable thing is that the autonomous region recognizes or does not recognize Zhao Gou's legal status, and it will become constrained.

Admit?

The autonomous region has to listen to the orders of the Jianyan Imperial Court, and now the war in which the autonomous region's contingent expands its achievements will be nameless, and it will have a name for recovering the lost land and recovering the country and saving the people.

In other words, such a major national event must be authorized by the emperor before Song Jiang can be ordered to fight, but now the head of the autonomous region subordinate to the Song Dynasty is making such a major decision, is Song Jiang too presumptuous? The more powerful he is, the more he thinks he is the emperor? Because Zhao Ji in his hands is only the emperor now, he has no authority to give such an order.

And according to the consistent urine nature of the Zhao family, how could it be possible to let the autonomous region expand its territory, the Jianyan Imperial Court would definitely block it, and the righteous words would rather let the puppet Han occupy it than let the autonomous region get it.

Then don't admit it?

In this way, there are no more than two ways. The first strongly supported Zhao Ji's restoration, and the two Song dynasties in the north and south confronted each other, but Zhao Ji had no intention of being the emperor, and this road seemed to be impassable. The second is to directly accuse Zhao Gou of usurping power, did you ask your father when you were the emperor? Not counts!

Either way, however, it would lead to civil war. It is Jin Guo and Puppet Han who are so happy, they have the opportunity to recuperate, and they can't say that they can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and they will also rip off a piece of meat in the autonomous region if they take advantage of the fire.

So, it's not wise, it's not worth it!

Liu Yu's move is even more vicious.

This is similar to killing people with a knife, on the surface, it looks like a respectful peace talk, but in fact, it is burning fire on Song Jiang's body. Without the instruction of the emperor of the Song Dynasty, what qualifications does the head of an autonomous region have to negotiate peace with a country? If he really made peace with Liu Yu, the old ministers of the Song Dynasty drowned him with saliva alone.

The higher you lift, the heavier you fall, Liu Yu's poisonous trick is wonderful! He lightly transferred the contradiction to the Song people, and he also achieved the goal of saving himself.

From another point of view, Zhao Gou's ascension to the throne indirectly saved Liu Yu and allowed him to escape.

At present, the autonomous region is in a dilemma, it is difficult to ride a tiger, and it is neither a fight nor a discussion, but how can it not take the opportunity to expand its territory under the excellent situation.

Heaven and Buddha take it, but suffer from it, and when it doesn't work, it suffers from it.

After all, Song Jiang is a person from the next generation, and he will not be bound by these tricks, especially knowing what Zhao Gou will do in the future, how can he let the great rivers and mountains be buried in his hands in vain.

He immediately made a decision that shocked and admired Wu Yong and Xu Guanzhong: The war should continue to be fought, and peace talks should be held at the same time, so as to promote peace through war and strive for the greatest interests of the autonomous region.

Zhao Gou ignored it, and if his holy decree didn't come, it was all hearsay. If the holy decree comes, be polite, and if not, let the spear of the old minister of the Song Dynasty pierce his shield. Whoever let Zhao Gou's father still exist, but hurriedly ascended the throne, the most powerful ability of these old ministers was criticized several times. Sanjiu Chinese Network

Rescuing so many old ministers from the hands of the Jin people has finally come in handy.

Liu Yu was quick to compromise under this blow, and he generously assigned most of the areas north of the Yellow River to the autonomous region, and in any case, these places were either occupied by the autonomous region, or there was a tendency to fall to the autonomous region, so he did a favor.

Immediately, Song Jiang ordered a truce, led the army back to Liangshanbo, and sent officials and troops to various prefectures and counties to manage the expanded territory first. He also had to arrange Huizong and a group of old ministers who were resting in Liangshanbo, and if these people were not handled well, it would be a big trouble. Don't look at them and thank Song Jiang for saving their lives, if they can't give them the benefits they want, they will become white-eyed wolves in the blink of an eye, and bite people in turn.

Zong Ze has an ideal, he wants to make the Great Song Dynasty a giant who is high above and looks down on the four directions, a great country that outsiders worship when they hear it. The country is prosperous, not only with strong economic power, but also with strong military power, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, live a prosperous life, and are united as one family. In this way, the country is like a giant dragon hovering in the world, looking at its back, and daring to bully my dignified descendants of Yan and Huang.

But now the sons and daughters of China, who have been civilized for thousands of years, have been beaten by a group of Jurchens who can only fish and collect firewood, and the emperor has been broken, the emperor has been captured, and a thriving and prosperous country is immediately full of holes, what a shame!

But is the culprit of all this just the hateful Jurchen savages?

No!

Among the culprits is the emperor and his cabinet ministers!

It is they who have turned the country into a decaying edifice, and if the foundation is rotten, how can the edifice be stable? The Jurchens just came and pushed. Take 10,000 steps back, even if the Jurchens don't push it, others will push it, and they will still fall.

If there is an emperor like Taizu, and a cabinet like Bao Zheng, Di Qing and others, the country is prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the Jurchens dare to invade the Central Plains?

The current Central Plains region is full of whirlpools of water, black smoke and miasma, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a ruin.

To clean up this disastrous mess requires a leader of great skill to turn the tide.

Originally, he took a fancy to Zhao Gou, but later he found out that he was a prince who was content with a hidden evil heart and was content with pleasure, a pile of mud that couldn't support the wall, and there was no trace of pride to recover the lost ground.

Later, he wanted to assist Zhao Gong to pull the Song Dynasty ashore from the whirlpool, and then establish a thriving strong Song Dynasty. Slowly become stronger, just wait for the heroes of the world to respond, and then you can take advantage of the situation to build a country.

But now he's in trouble again.

The autonomous region rescued Huizong and negotiated peace with Liu Yu, and Hezhou, where their Wuma Mountain is located, was also included in the autonomous region. Zhao Gou was called the emperor in Hangzhou again, the two emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, one in the south and one in the north, who is orthodox? Whose dictates are they going to listen to?

If Zhao Gong is forcibly established as the emperor and the Great Song Dynasty is split, Huizong will recognize the authenticity of King Xin at a glance, won't it be a big joke at that time?

The true value of his Zongze is to restore the country and seek peace for tens of millions of displaced people. Donating his body for the country's disaster, seeing death as if he were going home, his head can be broken and bleeding can be shed, but he will definitely not be a warlord who fights civil wars and grabs territory.

Zong Ze is a Confucian general, he has a clear context in his heart, and he knows very well how to choose. He has been circling a sentence in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his mind: "Wealth needs the people's livelihood, relying on the people's strength, relying on the people's strength, relying on the people's strength, and blessing by the people." ”

Oh, yes! The country is strong and the people play an important role, and a strong country must first enrich the people. One of the reasons why the autonomous region is strong is that the people are rich, and if the people of the Great Song Dynasty are like this everywhere, wouldn't it be in line with his ideals.

He decided to attach himself to the autonomous region, but he also kept an eye on it, that is, they belonged to the autonomous region, but they would never be dispersed into the autonomous region. If Song Jiang dared to replace the Zhao family, he would raise an army to fight.
