Su Yuanjing did not shirk, and replied honestly: "The first choice has a lot of constraints, first of all, it is difficult to say how much this belongs to, everyone must want to take more, and secondly, even if it is said in the front, it is inevitable that there will be a situation where the work will not be able to work, but the second choice is simple and clear, whoever can lay down will take as much as he wants, and he will definitely do his best, I don't know what the old general thinks is foolish?" ”

Zong Ze shook his head and sighed: "Yuan Jing, although you are smart and diligent, your fire is still a little worse, if you really want to fall into Tang Guo's calculations like you, Du Jia's kid is really a powerful character despite his young age." ”

Su Yuanjing was taken aback, and then said more respectfully: "Please advise the old general." ”

Zong Ze was also polite: "To put it bluntly, this second way is the absolute strength of the two sides, don't you think our strength is stronger than the Tang Army?" ”

Su Yuanjing hurriedly said, "Isn't it? Didn't the previous invasion of Western Xia be repelled mainly by relying on the forbidden army led by Gao Taiwei? Although Xia Guan and Gao Yu are not in harmony, they can't be reversed in black and white. ”

Zong Ze smiled bitterly: "Yuanjing, you have a good mind, but you only know one thing, I don't know the second, where is the credit of Gao Yu that time, what did that puffer save in addition to bragging and bullying the superiors and subordinates?" But you can't blame you for this, and the old man is also responsible. ”

After saying that, Zong Ze immediately told everyone what happened before, Su Yuanjing and the others woke up like a dream, and understood that this was just a deal made by Zong Ze and Gao Yu in order to improve the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty, no wonder Gao Yu, who had been beaten by the Tang Army before, became so fierce as soon as he went to Yongzhou, it turned out that it was Xue Rengui who conquered the east, and Zhang Shigui got the credit.

Su Yuanjing's face suddenly became much more solemn: "I see, the combat strength of the Tang army is probably more than twice that of us, and this problem is not something that can be made up for in a short time, no wonder the people of the Tang Kingdom are so confident, so what should we do according to the old general's opinion?" ”

Zong Ze pondered and said: "I'm afraid we can only choose the first item, the old man's opinion is that no matter how many troops the Tang State sends, we will be the same, and we can also provide all the grain and grass on both sides, in addition, the command also belongs to the Tang State, as for the harvest, we will have forty percent, and the five prefectures only need to give us two." ”

Zong Ze's words shocked the four seats, everyone couldn't believe that these words came out of the mouth of this stubborn old man, he has always been tough, how could he be so compromised this time?

Even Su Yuanjing was a little stunned and didn't answer for a long time.

Zong Ze smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think the old man is crazy?" How can I actually be willing to do this, it's just that those who know the times are Junjie, and now our situation is far inferior to that of Tang Guo, only by doing so can we maximize our interests, otherwise we won't be able to win Tian Hu and them at all - at least we can't win easily, otherwise how can we let them run rampant until now?

The Tang army can fight well, and it is extremely united, with them leading this battle will undoubtedly win, we are equivalent to getting more than 20 counties in the two prefectures for nothing, and more importantly, it has greatly saved the face of the imperial court, so it is still very cost-effective. ”

Zong Ze didn't say it thoroughly, but the hearts of several Qingliu officials led by Su Yuanjing were bright, although Tian Hu was ferocious but bold, many officials in the court were bought by him, especially the Turbidity Stream, Yang Jian, one of the four traitors, is said to still have a stake in Tian Hu, so how can the officers and soldiers go all out to destroy the enemy?

But once it belongs to the command of the Tang Army, it will be different, Yang Jian's influence is impossible to shake the Tang Army, and then they can give full play to their strength, plus the monarchs and ministers headed by Emperor Huizong value the reputation of the Great Song Dynasty the most, this Tian Hu killed the imperial court and seized the property, it can be said that he gave the court a resounding slap in the face of the whole world, and now if they can fight back, it will be too satisfying for them, as for those cities, towns and counties, they may not care.

So this matter was settled, Su Yuanjing left a few henchmen and Zong Ze to talk about some details before they dispersed, and after the next day, Huizong asked the eunuchs to ask the ministers as usual, "There is a book to play, no book to retreat from the court", most of the officials know that Huizong is in a good mood recently, so they are very familiar and honestly stand without speaking, Huizong was just about to announce the dispersal of the dynasty to have a good time, but saw that one of the small group of close ministers closest to him on the left stood up and said loudly: "The minister has a book to play." ”

Huizong was unhappy in his heart, and all the officials also secretly scolded who was so ignorant and deliberately made His Majesty unhappy, and looked at Su Yuanjing, who was one of the two main captains of the dynasty.

Seeing that it was him, Huizong forcibly suppressed his temper and asked, "It turned out to be Su Aiqing, I don't know what major things need to be enlightened." ”

Huizong deliberately said the word "big event" very seriously, the meaning is very clear, the widow is busy playing ball, writing, chanting poetry and painting by the way, and then reversing the dragon and phoenix, there is no need to bother if there is nothing important, Su Yuanjing has been with him for so long, and he has always been smart, he should understand this truth.

But Su Yuanjing said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen does have something important to say, and it is a great joy." ”

Huizong's frowning brows suddenly expanded, and he said excitedly: "Oh? is worthy of Su Aiqing, what happy events are said quickly, so that the widow can also be happy. ”

Su Yuanjing said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the incident where the pseudo-Wang Tianhu insulted Qin Cha and killed the angel before? Every time Wei Chen thought of this, he tossed and turned, couldn't sleep at night, thinking about how to save face for the court, so that the emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally let Wei Chen find a way. ”

Huizong happily patted the dragon chair and sighed: "Aiqing is really a pillar of the country, although Yiyin Kongming can't be compared, this matter is also deeply ashamed, I don't know what Aiqing's clever plan is?" As long as Tian Hu and the traitors can pay the price, Aiqing will have made another great contribution to the imperial court. ”

Hearing Huizong say this, the civil and military officials all looked at Su Yuanjing with envy and jealousy, especially the turbidity faction led by Cai Jingtong Guanqiu Brother Yang Jian was even more wide-eyed, they wanted to know what Su Yuanjing had to do to deal with Tian Hu, did he plan to take someone to fight in person? Then he must have overestimated his command ability.

Only many officials of Zong Ze and Qingliu know the details, but they also admire it in their hearts, they really sigh at their understanding of Huizong compared to Su Yuanjing, the same thing in Su Taiwei said that Huizong was very happy, and if they said that they would let the Tang State command soldiers go to conquer Tian Hu, and in addition, if they had to cede more than half of the harvest to the other party, Huizong might not be able to be so happy, and the traitors would inevitably come to make trouble.

Chung Yeung Festival, I'm afraid today's children don't know that there is this festival in the tradition, right?
