Chapter 566

Doing so is naturally tantamount to telling those Western Xia barbarians, I, the Great Song Dynasty, will not accept your outrageous peace conditions, and if you want peace talks, then wait until you first learn how to use the due attitude of the war account.

In addition, because of the capriciousness of your Western Xia, you have violated my Song realm for no reason, destroyed my border village, and injured our soldiers and civilians, so from today onwards, the Great Song Dynasty will cancel the annual gifts given to Western Xia.

This series of extremely tough statements not only made the thousands of people of the entire Great Song Dynasty feel deeply angry, but also made the millions of tigers of the Great Song Dynasty smile.

Finally, it is no longer the same as in the past, the soldiers are working hard in the front, but in the back, those civil officials who are greedy for life and afraid of death are vigorously appeased and compromised, selling the land that the soldiers have bought with their lives, and exchanging the wealth protected by blood for the empty peace.

In the same way, it also made those vassal states around the Great Song Dynasty feel a kind of pressure from the heavy cushion.

Da Song no longer seems to be in the soft cotton posture of the past, and seems to be gradually starting to become tougher.

Since the Great Song Dynasty has determined the strategy for Western Xia, it is inevitable that all kinds of post-war and war preparations for the Shaanxi Road must also be carried out at the fastest speed.

At this time, what the Great Song Dynasty needed to do was not only to guard against small and medium-sized conflicts as in the past, but it was very likely that because of the tough attitude of the Great Song Dynasty, it was very likely that the wounded wolf of Western Xia would make a desperate move.

What's more, although the war strength of Western Xia was severely defeated by the Battle of Hongdezhai, please don't forget that the Great Song Dynasty had a bigger enemy: Northern Liao.

The wars between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia were often caused by the instigation of the Northern Liao. And when the Western Xia was hit hard, the Northern Liao would definitely not watch the Western Xia fall, and would definitely do everything possible to maintain the Western Xia.

It is even possible to personally send troops to help, because Northern Liao is very clear that Western Xia and Northern Liao are dependent on each other.

“…… I see, it seems that I still underestimated them after all, but I didn't expect that after going around and around in such a big circle, it turned out that their foreshadowing was waiting for me here. ”

Zhao Xu looked helpless and speechless, sitting in the palace of the Empress Dowager, at this moment, the iron stove invented by Wang Wushan using honeycomb coal as fuel had been burned in the palace.

The chill of late autumn was blocked by the warm iron stove outside the thick curtain of the palace gate, and sitting in the room, I suddenly felt warm like spring.

Gao Taotao was very satisfied with the warmth brought by this iron stove, and was leaning comfortably on the couch at the moment, and couldn't help laughing when he saw the sad face of the Son of Heaven, who was going to get married in a few days. "The official family is still worried about this matter?"

"Of course, until now, Sun Er has understood their intentions, which is to prevent Mr. Wushan and Master Su from having the opportunity to return to the court in a short time."

"Now that the officials have seen through their calculations, what do they think they should do?" Gao Tao looked at Zhao Xu with a smile, still unhurried.

Seeing the soft-spoken imperial grandmother's expression full of encouragement, Zhao Xu stood up and slowly paced in the room for a long time, finally revealing a slightly helpless expression.

"To be honest, although Sun Er doesn't want their calculations to succeed, he has to admit that their calculations happen to be the most suitable method for the current situation."

"If the grandson forcibly destroys it, it is very likely that the consequences that will occur later will be difficult for the grandson to predict."

"So, what you mean by the official family is that for the time being, you can only implement this policy, and the mourning family didn't understand your meaning wrongly, right?" The smile in Gao Tao's eyes became deeper and deeper.

Yes, in the past, the youthful appearance of turning his face and leaving if he didn't agree with each other has gradually faded, and it has been replaced by a rare calmness and responsibility.

"Yes, but I won't fight back, since I want to leave Mr. Su and Mr. Wushan on Shaanxi Road, then they must show enough sincerity in exchange, otherwise, how can I do what they want......" Speaking of this, Zhao Xu turned his head and showed a rare naughty smile towards Gao Tao.

"Please don't expose your grandson when the time comes......."

"It seems that the official family is preparing to sing a double reed play with the mourning family, right?" The treacherous Gao Tao suddenly understood, otherwise he shook his head with a smile.

"Okay, the mourning family will promise you." After Gao Tao nodded in agreement, his words changed. "It's a pity that Wang Wushan and Master Su will have to stay in the border of Shaanxi for at least a year and a half before they have the opportunity to return to Beijing."

"Naturally, my grandson knows this." Zhao Xu nodded deeply. "My grandson believes that Mr. Wushan will understand my grandson's hard work, not to mention, with Mr. Wushan on the edge of the road in Shaanxi, what I should worry about should not be my Great Song Dynasty, but Western Xia."

"If Mr. can do more training outside, and then return to Beijing in the future, at that time, our monarchs and ministers may join forces, or there will be a chance to restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties."

Looking at his grandson who can calmly analyze and not care about the gains and losses of a moment and a place, Gao Taotao is deeply relieved and finally sees his growth.

Even, Gao Taotao felt that Zhao Xu's growth speed was so fast that he really felt frustrated.

"The ancients had clouds, and they should be impressed by the three days of Shibei, and the great changes in the official family in the past few months are really too unexpected for the mourning family." Gao said with emotion.

Zhao Xu seemed to be a little embarrassed and smiled and explained. "Speaking of which, a lot of the changes in my grandson are influenced by Mr. Witchbook."

"Huh?" Gao Tao looked at his grandson a little stunned, and said for a long time. "The boy? The mourning family really can't see that he can have such scheming. ”

Zhao Xu hurriedly declared. "Mr. Wushan is a sincere man, and his disposition is indeed ...... Well, that's true, but many of his words are really reasonable, which makes Sun Er deeply touched and gets a lot. ”

Gao Tao smiled suddenly. "yes...... That Wang Wushan, the mourning family really doesn't know when to say when he is good, sometimes cunning like a fox, shrewd like a ghost, sometimes willful and impulsive, he is indeed a true gentleman who acts recklessly. ”

Although Wang Wushan's eldest grandson is only a few years old, his vision is courageous, and he is really a worldly choice. It makes the grandson deeply admired, and in the future, he can get his help, and the grandson, like Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty, has Zhang Liangyi......"

"The mourning family only hopes that you can work together to make the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty as solid as Mount Tai." Gao Tao said with a sigh on his face.

"Grandmother Huang, please rest assured, it will be." Zhao Xu nodded heavily at Gao Tao and replied very seriously. It was like surging to Gao and making a promise to the Son of Heaven.
