The old man has assisted the Son of Heaven for many years, and he knows the temperament of the official family, and the official family is likely to take risks for the sake of decoration. Agree to the request of the king of Zhejun to fight again...... Zhu Shengfei said worriedly.

A few people thought about it, and it really was. The official family is young and vigorous, and they are all about restoring their homeland. Expelled from Beiyi. This time he took the risk and sent troops. As a result, it was not long before it began, and it was such a big defeat. The anger in the hearts of the officials can be imagined, in this case, it is very likely that they know that they can't do it, and go all the way to the dark!

However. Doing so can be counterproductive. Defeat at the front. The courtiers had been given enough reason to oppose the use of troops, if the officials insisted on fighting again. That can only stir the court into a pool of troubled water, it's good, let people with a heart come out to fish.

Thinking about this, the prime ministers have big heads. When the official family first ascended the throne, it was okay to obey the prime minister's opinions, but now they have some ideas of their own. I don't want to be swayed. Could he have gone his own way......

"Few, as the chief executive, has the heavy responsibility of assisting the Son of Heaven! This time. Even if you don't want this black veil on your head, we will end the war, and don't let the official family come by temperament! Zhu Shengfei suggested with a serious face.

Zhao Ding nodded: "As long as it is beneficial to the country, I have no opinion......

"This is the duty of a courtier, so why do you need to say more?" ”。 Xu Liang also agreed.

Huang Qianshan didn't have any extra words at all. Just one word: "Good......

Zhu Shengfei said again: "After persuading the official family to stop, we must do our best to let the official family clear up the relationship, and the responsibility must be borne by the front-line generals." What a thistle, if true. It must be dealt with strictly and severely. As for the king of Zhejun, he will not escape the responsibility of defeat. It is hoped that by dealing with them, "the anger of the government and the opposition will be appeased......

Everyone had no objections, because at this time, the royalist was more important than anything else. Don't say that He Ji's matter is true and must be handled strictly, "Even if it is empty, He Ji has to deal with it, there is no way, the emperor can't be wrong, even if it's wrong." It is also up to the minister to carry the black cauldron!

Xu Liang mentioned at this time: "There is one more thing, I don't know what a few people think." ”。

," Xu said when he joined politics...... Zhu Shengfei urged.

"Let's cover this matter for a few days, and the king of Zhejun sent his son to come to the court with a notebook." The news is not going to spread in a short period of time. While Luo Ruji hadn't gone far now, he quickly chased him back and reinstated him. Xu Liang said.

Hearing this, the other three nodded in unison. Indeed, Luo Ruji was heavily sentenced. Although the teacher is famous, after all, the official family is given, "provoking the two palaces,." It was a bit excessive, which had already caused dissatisfaction among the courtiers, who thought that they were blocking the way of speech with authority. If the news of the defeat spreads again at this time, it will be very unfavorable. Suppress the news first, chase Luo Ruji back, and talk better in the future.

, "When these are done, then send an envoy to Jin" agreed to negotiate peace. It is only said that the offensive is the work of the front-line generals, and the influence will be eliminated. And so it goes. When the situation can be stabilized. ”。 Zhu Shengfei mentioned again, "Negotiate peace......

Zhao Ding finally picked it up: "Zhu Xiang." In order to stabilize the situation, we can do anything. Only this one "can't be ......

"How can I not do it?" …… Zhu Shengfei asked.

"It is necessary to deal with the generals and hold them accountable." It's easy to say, "It's an internal affair after all." But to Kim, there must be no weakness! Why should you ask for peace with Beiyi? Isn't it to cater to some people in the DPRK and China? …… Zhao Dingzheng said.

Zhu Shengfei seemed to be very incomprehensible about his words, and looked directly at the other party and said, "Now I have lost the battle!" "So what?" Victory and defeat are commonplace, and this Northern Expedition failed, and there will be a second and third time in the future, until it succeeds! …… Zhao Ding said resolutely.

Zhu Shengfei stood up suddenly: "In the past few years, I have won a lot of battles", but Zhao Xiang hasn't seen it clearly? The Jurchens are still strong! Otherwise. Why is there such a failure? ”。

, "This defeat" is not because the Jurchens are strong, but because the officials are in a hurry. Ill-prepared, and the front-line generals can't work together, what we should do is to continue to strengthen the army, not to seek peace in the north...... Zhao Ding was-for-tat.

Zhu Shengfei was suddenly a little annoyed: "As the second minister, you only know how to garrison strong soldiers. The name is garrison, but it is not necessary to defend, and the name is strong soldiers, and the soldiers may not be fine! Otherwise. Why is there such a failure? ，。

Zhao Ding was also on fire: "What does this defeat have to do with me? The Jin people attacked Xianghan several times, but they all returned with a feather, isn't this the work of a strong army? Isn't it the power of the garrison? You said that it is necessary to defend the army, and the soldiers may not be fine, have you forgotten the Western Army? Forgot Xu Wei? ，。

, "You don't talk about Xu Wei, the foundation of the Western Army is already thick!" …… Zhu Shengfei said annoyedly.

"How can you not pull Xu Wei?" Now Xu Shumi has not only taken the Lin Mansion, but also restrained the Western Xia, so as to contain the Jurchens! If you are a sum. Beiyi made conditions for the Western Army to withdraw from Linfu. Stop interfering in the situation in Western Xia, what should you do if you let Xu Shumi? Do you want to keep your family busy? How do you explain this to others? ”。 Zhao Ding asked repeatedly.

Zhu Shengfei couldn't answer, so he said forcefully: "Why do I have to explain to him?" I can't do it!. ,,"Don't forget, he is now "knowing the affairs of the Privy Council", although he is in charge of the place, but you can't help but take people seriously! Anyway, in a word, everything else is easy to say, take the initiative to ask Jin for peace, I don't agree! …… Zhao Ding made a loud noise.

When the two were arguing, Xu Liang and Huang Qianshan didn't have anything to say. At this time, I saw that the two of them couldn't take the reins. Xu Liang said, "The two ministers are angry, listen to me." ，。

As soon as he mediated, Zhu Shengfei and Zhao Ding sat down angrily. Although Xu Liu is the deputy prime minister, his influence cannot be underestimated. First of all, he is the son of Xu Shao, and as soon as the king of Qinghe County died, he entered the center and was generally pinned on high hopes, thinking that he was the class that took over Lao Tzu. Secondly, this person is deeply relied on by the official family, not to mention anything else, among the prime ministers, he is the only one who is familiar with the local situation and is familiar with military affairs. So he was in charge of military affairs.

, "I agree with Zhao Xiang's opinion, everything can be done, and I can't do anything to Jin Peace." Xu Liangdao.

, "You ......". Zhu Shengfeihuo came up a little again. , "Xu participates in politics. Now there is nothing more important than seeking stability! If you don't do this, the Jurchens will ask the guilt, and the same question will only be more serious! ”

Xu Liang waved his hand: "Don't be impatient, listen to me." Xu Jiu was in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and used Linfu and Western Xia to restrain the Jurchens, and Beiyi didn't have the strength to look south at all. Even if we don't say anything, Jin Guo can't do anything about us. There is really no need to summon it. If we do. It can only be regarded as a sign of weakness by some people in the DPRK and China, and this will only boost their arrogance, which is very inappropriate. ”。

Zhu Shengfei didn't seem to listen. Snorted angrily. Stop talking.

The next day, when Emperor Zhao Chen heard the news of the defeat of the king of Zhejun, his shock and remorse are not difficult to imagine. The young emperor in his twenties turned out to be exactly as his prime ministers had predicted, "in order to decorate the defeat of the first Northern Expedition." For their own face. It's even more because there is still luck in my heart. I actually wanted to agree to Zhe Yanzhen's request, allocate food and ordnance, and continue the Northern Expedition!

The four prime ministers persuaded bitterly, when Zhao Chen left Xi Yù to go. Zhao Ding even rushed forward and grabbed his sleeve and didn't allow him to leave. Finally, after a lot of saliva, after the bitter stakes. Zhao Chen agreed. and issued an edict to recover Luo Ruji. The official was reinstated. He also asked Zhongshu to discuss how to deal with the front-line generals.

But Zhao Chen made a decision at this time. It shows that he is indeed better than his Lao Tzu. He is now passive himself, but he is unwilling to let the minister carry the black cauldron. He instructed the prime ministers that the matter of He Ji must be ascertained, if there is indeed one. Do what you have to do, and if not, don't wronged him. As for the king of Zhejun. The Northern Expedition was an edict from me. Even if you want to give an explanation to the world, don't punish too much, let alone go far.

The news of the defeat at the front line was announced after Luo Ruji's return to the line, "As expected, the court was shocked!" And after a brief shock, a huge ** erupted! Admonishment from Taiwan. To the three provinces, to the Privy Council, and even to the temple supervisors, the ministers were talking fiercely about this matter. The dissatisfaction with the emperor swelled to the extreme through the defeat of the army!

It's not just that this time the imperial court was abandoned, and the loss of troops was "even with the previous reduction of treatment and the reduction of officials." Even if he was not filial to the emperor, this pile was turned over. The lord of the DPRK and the ministers of the faction. The minister of the emperor. In the dark, they are connected and converge into a huge force!

In order to put out the fire, Zhongshu sent people to Jinghu Huaixi, and after finding out He Ji's problem, he was severely punished. He Ji was dismissed from all sending. Cutting the power of the army and degrading the resettlement of the Wan'an army. Wan Anjun, also in Hainan in later generations, is located in a remote area and the conditions are difficult. He poured the relationship everywhere, so that his son changed it to, "Daozhou resettlement".

As for the king of Zhejun, the responsibility for the defeat is inevitable. was cut off from the king of the county, demoted from the king of the county to the scholar of the Baohe Palace, and was degraded by three levels, and was reduced to the third grade. Not only that. Zhu Shengfei even wanted to remove him, the "Jiangxi Xuanfu Ambassador", the dispatch of the "Jiangxi Xuanfu Ambassador", and changed to raise the palace to relieve leisure, but because of the opposition of the emperor and Zhao Ding Xu Liang.

Despite this, the raging public opinion in the DPRK and China has not subsided. Under these circumstances, Zhu Shengfei once again proposed to sue for peace with Kim in order to cater to the hearts of some ministers of the DPRK and China. But Zhao Ding and Xu Liang joined forces to suppress it. Zhao Chen also clearly refused, and even said "" and "swore not to bend to the north" with the death of the country. Words. I will be ruined. Nor do they make peace to the north!

His words, which were originally motivated by righteous indignation, were completely interpreted as other meanings when they reached the ears of the ministers. àn Xiangsheng, Deocugung, laughing without saying a word......

Xu Liang was busy fighting the fire. Naturally, I didn't have time to write to my cousin: "The Purple Golden Tiger, who is far away in Sichuan and Shaanxi, naturally does not know the situation between Korea and China. However, he didn't have time to cào this heart now, and Fengzhou was broken by the Jin army. He was very annoyed that all the defenders of the city were killed. The following reprimanded Xu Hong's delay, and dismissed the commander of the Duyan Commander's Division, who was ineffective in rescuing Fengzhou, and strictly ordered the Duyan army to hold Fuzhou, and if he dared to take a step back, he would be severely punished. Xu Hong is an honest man and did not defend himself. immediately ordered his son Xu Yong to personally lead 15,000 elite soldiers to attack the Jurchens in the north.

The reason why the Xu family was able to grow in the west. It's really because this family is full of talents. Not only in his Xu Wei's generation, but among his nephews, there is no shortage of cadres.

Xu Yong led his elite troops out of Suide non-stop, passed through the Jinning army, passed through Linzhou, and rushed straight to Fuzhou. Then. The Jin general Pucha Huzhan is besieging the Fuzhou Castle "to cut off internal and external communications, communications, and water sources." As soon as Xu Yong arrived, he fought with the 8,000 people of the Jin army, and after a battle, he cut down more than 1,000 ranks, and went to the Jin army's station.

Hu Zhan sent another commander of the Han Army. Attract more than 10,000 elite soldiers to block the attack. Xu Yong killed with a strong crossbow, and then sent an elite infantry army to form a formation. Strangled violently, the Jin army was defeated again. Seeing that the momentum was not right, Hu Zhan withdrew from the siege of Fuzhou and personally led the main force to fight.

Not to be outdone, Xu Yong faced nearly 40,000 Jin troops with 15,000 infantry troops. Hu Zhan had many soldiers, and he advanced in the middle of the road in a big way, and copied the two sides, trying to defeat Xu Yong in one fell swoop.

And Xu Shaoshuai ordered the troops to form a strict formation, with strong crossbows and hard bows to kill in turn, and the rain of arrows continued! And Hu Zhan's troops were indeed brave, rushing forward in the face of the flying arrows. Soon there was a faint encirclement on three sides. But they finally found that they couldn't bite the Western Formation, but instead paid huge casualties under the dense rain of arrows from the other side.

Hu Zhan was furious, and sent the horse army to make a detour to the rear of the Western Army and assault, "How do you know that Young Marshal Xu has already taken precautions, and he will ring the chariot behind the formation and reject the horse, not only to block the enemy, but also to show that he will not retreat!" The two sides fought fiercely until dusk, and the Jin army attacked five times before and after. None of them were able to tear apart the Song army formation. Xu Yong counterattacked, and at this time, the soldiers and people of Fuzhou also went out of the city to help the battle, Hu Zhan was defeated, and retreated to Fengzhou under the cover of the Ma army. Counting the "results, more than 3,000 ranks. The casualties of the Song army were less than 1,500.

When Xu Hong learned the news in Yan'an, he was not overjoyed, and ordered his son to keep a close watch, and the Jin army would make a comeback.

At this time, Xu Wei received the official envoy of Li Renxiao, the Xia lord, in Xingyuan Mansion. The Xia envoy accused Xu Wei of attacking the Lin Mansion and Hong Long. He also supported the people of Luàn and seized Weizhou. He also united with Xiao Heda, demanding that the Sichuan and Shaanxi sides immediately return the territory and stop supporting Xiao Heda.

Xu Wei didn't bother at all! Lin Mansion is my homeland, the Jin people forcibly occupy it, I have nothing to say, you party members dare to take over? I sincerely improve relations with you, how dare you show off your troops on the border? Didn't you deceive me that there was no one in the Western Army? Capture the flood dragon, but it's just a slight punishment! Return to the summer lord. Shape up or ship out!

A miscellaneous meal sent the summer envoy back. Immediately ordered Huanqing Marshal Liu Guangshi to pay close attention to the movements of the Xia army, which was likely to raise a large army to suppress Xiao Heda recently.

Xu Wei was not bad. At present, the party members have generally suppressed the uprisings in various places through Cha Ge and Ren Dejing. I was about to free my hands. Solve Xiao Heda's rebellion. But the Xia Kingdom was deeply jealous of the Western Army, and thought that the military intervention of the Dajin Kingdom would make Xu Wei more restrained, but he didn't expect that Xu Wei would not accept this set at all.

And what the party members didn't expect was that Xu Wei had already sent an invitation to Yelu Dashi, who was standing on his heels in the Western Regions, to share the Western Xia! As for whether the big stone forest tooth will come happily. I don't know yet. But one thing is certain, even if Dashi doesn't come, Xu Wei will take Xiliang and open up the Hexi Corridor, but it's just a matter of time. Besides, there was no reason why Yelu Dashi should not come. He was already strong enough in the Western Regions. How could there be such a good opportunity?
