Luoyang, after Ju Zheng left, Wu Yashi came to Shuaifu, hoping that Zhao Shuo could recruit Shi Fei and Hu Shi from Shangzhou to go to Qi to help Ju Zheng. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Regarding Wu Yashi's request, although Zhao Shuo did not speak, he nodded silently.

"The prince's day mourns and changes, and he retires quietly." The witch saluted and was about to leave.

"Strategist, do you think what I did is right?" Zhao Shuo asked weakly at this time.

Wu Yashi knew that Zhao Shuo was asking about Zhao Heng's death, and thought for a while before he spoke. "Your Majesty Qinzong, I have the honor of seeking a side in the Daimyo's Mansion, what should I say? Maybe it was the change in Jingkang that made him blame himself very much, or the life in the north made him have an epiphany, in short, in his eyes, Xiaosheng couldn't see a little bit of the emperor's domineering. Perhaps, he will be a good father in the future, but he will never become a generation of saints. ”

Zhao Shuo raised his head slightly and looked at Wu Yashi, but still didn't say anything.

Seeing Zhao Shuo looking at him, Wu Yashi continued. "Lord Wang, when the Daimyo Mansion was in the Mansion, His Majesty Qinzong said that even if he was a loose person, he would be happy. He didn't choose to come with Xiaosheng to see the prince, but chose to return south to meet Zhao Gou, according to the words of Lu Dao, the governor of the Daimyo Mansion, it was the ancestral system of the imperial court, but Xiaosheng felt that this might be His Majesty Qinzong thinking about the prince. Or rather, he is thinking about Da Song, and it is possible to really make a gamble and gamble with his own life. ”

'Whew~' Zhao Shuo exhaled a turbid breath. "Tell me what you think."

"Lord Wang!" Wu Yashi saluted. "Now the power of the prince is stronger and weaker than Zhao Gou?"

Zhao Shuo frowned and thought for a while before saying. "Half a pound and eight taels. My uncle has a lot of soldiers and a vast geography, and I? With a wry smile, Zhao Shuo continued, "The soldiers are outnumbered, but I have muskets and small cannonballs in my hands, and once the war starts, the outcome is unpredictable." ”

Wu Yashi shook his head. But in Xiaosheng's opinion, Zhao Gou's chances of winning are greater. First of all, he is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and the prince is just a prince of the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor crusades against the courtiers, and the courtiers have supported the courtiers since ancient times. ”

"You mean to say that my father is returning to the south and really wants to protect me?" Zhao Shuo frowned slightly.

"But it may also be for the sake of Da Song. Just imagine, if the prince and Zhao Gou start a war, what will happen to the world of the Great Song Dynasty, and then the Jin Kingdom will be so honest? Will the nomadic people in the north still be afraid of the prince? Will Xixia really abide by the contract and come to help when the time comes? Won't they really take advantage of the situation to tear up the contract and occupy my land? and Longyou, who has just been pacified, can it really be peaceful? When the time comes, will Fuzhou really fully support the prince, and will it really not rely on small cannonballs to achieve hegemony on its own? Also, Dali in the southwest and Annan in the south, these countries may all reap the benefits of fishermen when the time comes. After analyzing it, Wu Yashi lowered his head slightly.

"You mean, my father returned to the south to maintain the stability of the Great Song Dynasty by relying on his identity?" Zhao Shuo asked.

"Lord Wang, there is another possibility, which is gambling." Wu Yashi didn't answer Zhao Shuo and continued. "His Majesty Qinzong has no ambition to be the emperor again, but Zhao Gou may not think so, and His Majesty Qinzong probably knows this. If Zhao Gou doesn't make a move on him, he will help Zhao Gou persuade the prince and let the prince assist Zhao Gou to protect the Song Dynasty. And if Zhao Gou made a move against him, the prince would have a chance, or a reason, to attack Zhao Gou. Although the prince may not have beaten Zhao Gou at this time, and may not attack Zhao Gou, but the eyes of the people in the world are bright, His Majesty Qinzong's move has won the righteousness for the prince, and one day, the prince will march south, and people of insight will inevitably respond. ”

Saying this, Wu Yashi fell to his knees and kowtowed. "All of this is just a guess by Xiaosheng, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but please ask the prince to decide."

Zhao Shuo waved his hand. "You go down first."

After Wu Yashi left, Zhao Shuo turned Wu Yashi's words aside in his mind, and then muttered to himself. "Gaozu Chen Qiao mutinied, the yellow robe is added, my uncle must be afraid of this! Although my father doesn't want to be the emperor anymore, he must know these things. It seems that the day my father decided to return to the south, he already knew that this would be the outcome. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo raised his head and left two lines of tears. The description of Qinzong in history is not very good, and he has always thought so, but now, Zhao Heng's decision has made him change this idea. This emperor, who is not suitable to be an emperor, died for the sake of his son, even if he had thousands of discomforts before, but today, he is already a qualified father.

Originally, Zhao Shuo was just going to make a show, but Wu Yashi's words made him change his mind.

"This time, I'm going to make a big move." Zhao Shuo got up and said with an unusually firm face.

Zhao Shuo's previous plan was to gather all the soldiers and horses in Luoyang and put pressure on Dengzhou and Xiangzhou in unison. Doing so is an attitude, expressing dissatisfaction. But now, he is ready to prepare the whole territory for war.

"Someone come, pass on my command, my father died tragically in the Yellow River, and I want to avenge my father."

Zhao Shuo's general order was quickly passed on through Zhang Chujiu's intelligence system, which had not yet been completed. This command, except for remote mountain villages, almost all of Zhao Shuo's control areas have been received.

Moreover, where the surrounding forces meet, the guards will also distribute these orders to the borders of other forces.

After doing all this, Zhao Shuo gave Li Yuanhao and Li Qianshun a letter of resignation, to the effect that his father Nangui died tragically, he was tracking down the murderer, and it was possible to go on a large-scale expedition, hoping that Western Xia would abide by the agreement and send troops to support.

All the cities under Zhao Shuo's control began to recruit soldiers, because Zhao Shuo adopted a light levy and a small tax, so the people lived a rich life, which was definitely a world of difference compared to before. In order to repay Zhao Shuo and keep his good life, residents from all over the country enthusiastically joined the army.

At the same time, the army in Western Xia was also frequently mobilized, and many troops were assembled in Yanzhou. There is a lot of movement to leave at any time.

Zhao Shuo and Xixia made these moves with great fanfare, so soon the news spread all over the surrounding countries.

The news of the establishment of a military alliance between Zhao Shuo and Xixia has long spread throughout the surrounding countries, and now that Zhao Shuo and Xixia have made such a big move at the same time, people who are not unreasonable are speculating who Zhao Shuo and Xixia intend to do it to.

And after Zhao Gou heard the news, he almost didn't fall out of his seat. Although he couldn't get along with Zhao Shuo, he was also unwilling to start a war with Zhao Shuo at this time.
