Chapter 266: Embattled
After Zhi Yanzhi left, Zhao Shuo sat on the chair decadently. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Lord Wang, you have to cheer up!" Father-in-law Feng came over and whispered comfort. "Zhao Gou did this, just to stimulate the prince and bring down the prince, the prince must not be fooled, you must pay attention to your body!"
"Yes, Lord Wang!" Fluttershy pulls the corners of her mouth aggrieved, and tears fall from her eyes. "You must take care of yourself!"
Grandpa Feng nudges Fluttershy and gives her a look. Fluttershy wipes away her tears and quietly retreats.
It didn't take long for Yan Wu, Fang Yunsheng, and Zhe Yueying to be brought in by Fluttershy.
"Lord Wang, now is the time to think of countermeasures, not the time to be decadent!" Along the way, Fluttershy tells the three of them what happened. As soon as he entered the door, Yan Wu was the first to speak.
"Lord Wang, don't take it to heart, it's not a big deal!" Zhi Yueying came to Zhao Shuo's side and shook his arm. "No matter what the identity of the prince is, in Ying'er's heart, the prince will always be the prince, and our family will always support the prince, if the prince is not happy, Ying'er can write a letter to his father and ask him to lead the troops south to attack the Song Dynasty."
"Lord Wang, although I don't have any skills, if I am a Song Song, I can also help a little!" Fang Yunshang said meaningfully.
"Alright, alright, don't think about it." Zhao Shuo exhaled a breath of turbidity. "Please, I've already figured out how to deal with it."
"Lord Wang, in that case, why are you still sullen!" Zhi Yueying muttered in a slightly dissatisfied voice.
"Alas~!" Zhao Shuo sighed and said. "The yellow-headed Uighurs in Longyou are in turmoil, and the Liao Kingdom in the north is not stable, and now my uncle in the south is not stable either......"
After shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Zhao Shuo continued. "I think that the Qi and Jin countries in the east should also take action."
"Lord Wang, there are Zhe Yanshi and Zhe Yanruo guarding Luoyang in the east, Zhe Yanwen guarding in Shaanzhou, Juzheng guarding Shangzhou, plus the Fuzhou Zhijia Army in the north, I think Qi and Jin should be safe for a while." Yan Wu analyzed. "Even if they have ideas, we have huge soldiers in the eastern tun, and we are not afraid of them."
"Sister Yan Wu is right." Zhe Yueying echoed. "The last time Qi Guo was beaten by the prince, he was already frightened, and now even if he has the heart, he should be powerless."
Zhao Shuo didn't say anything more, he was worried that saying too much would make these girls even more worried.
What he just said were all hostile forces that might appear on the surface, and there would be more that could exist secretly.
First of all, the Longyou generation, the resistance of the yellow-headed Uighurs, if Zhao Shuo could not suppress it. Maybe next time, it won't be the three tribes that follow the Yellow Head Uighurs, maybe a dozen, more than 20 tribes will kill together, in that case, Long You will never have peace, and there is a great possibility that these tribes will be led by the Yellow Head Uighurs to kill into the hinterland of the area controlled by Zhao Shuo.
Then there is the Western Xia, if the transaction goes well and Zhao Shuo takes Longyou, then everything is fine, and it is possible to form an alliance with the Western Xia to jointly resist the surrounding forces. But if Zhao Shuo can't take Longyou, coupled with the invasion of the rest of the forces, it is very likely that Western Xia will also come out to get a piece of the pie. Li Yuanhao's target is a small cannonball, and it is likely that he will take this opportunity to attack Guxian or Chang'an.
And then there's Liao to the north, where there are too many unknowns. The Liao State has already stretched out its fangs and seized Zhe Yanye, wanting to force the Zhe family. The rest of the tribes in the territory of Liao have not yet expressed their position.
Moe Kobu has the intention of obtaining small cannonballs, and it is through trading. What the other tribes think, no one can say.
According to Zhao Shuo's guess, these tribes should be grass on the wall, if Zhao Shuo forcibly stopped the attacks from all sides, they should be able to stand still, and it is very likely that after the war, they will come to hug Zhao Shuo's thigh.
But if Zhao Shuo can't withstand the attacks from all sides, and the beaten ones are defeated and retreating, and they are constantly shrinking, they will definitely fight in groups and carve up Zhao Shuo's territory.
For Jin Guo, Zhao Shuo is the least worried. He asked Zhi Yan to give the letters that Zhi Kecun brought, in order to deal with the Jin Kingdom. He believed that as long as he did what he said, it would be absolutely impossible for Jin Guo to attack him in the south, but it was very likely to help him a lot.
And that Qi country, Zhao Shuo felt that if the Jin country did not send troops, the Qi country should not send troops. Coupled with the last time the 50,000 Qi army was wiped out, there should be a shadow in their hearts. If it is not 100% certain, the Qi army will never dare to move.
What made Zhao Shuo most uneasy and worried was the Great Song over there. Originally, Zhao Shuo thought that he had been competing with the Jin State and the Qi State, so the Great Song Dynasty postponed his attack on him. After all, the Jin State destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, and then the army went south, and the Great Song Dynasty collapsed, and the corpses were everywhere. Later, he established the state of Qi and controlled the lost lands of the Great Song Dynasty.
No matter what these two countries say, they should be the enemies of the Great Song Dynasty, and it stands to reason that Zhao Shuo should support them.
Moreover, Zhao Shuo has always regarded himself as the king of Song, and has no intention of attacking the Great Song Dynasty, so no matter what, the Song court should not treat Zhao Shuo as an enemy.
What Zhao Gou was worried about was that Zhao Shuo was vying for the throne with him. Judging from the fact that Shi Gou led his troops north, Zhao Gou was sure to make a move, but Zhao Shuo speculated that Zhao Gou would not attack him when he was fighting against Jin and Qi. Instead, they will wait until the two sides decide the outcome before they start.
Therefore, the Song army arrived in Shangzhou after taking it in Luoyang for a period of time, and then withdrew to the mainland.
But Zhao Shuo was wrong. Da Song not only shot this time, but also used a killer weapon. This made Zhao Shuo's heart mixed and angry, but Zhao Shuo had no choice, because there were too many soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Shuo is not afraid of elite soldiers, but what he is most afraid of is crowd tactics.
"Lord Wang, are you okay?" Seeing that Zhao Shuo had not spoken for a long time, Zhi Yueying gently pushed him.
"Uh~!" Zhao Shuo changed his senses and shook his head. "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a lot of thinking."
"Lord Wang, you should have a plan!" Fang Yunshang followed Zhao Shuo all the way, Zhao Shuo was not stumped by anything, he believed that this time, Zhao Shuo had already come up with a way.
"There are some strategies, but we have few people now, and it's not time to go out yet." Zhao Shuo said softly.
"Lord, just say it, so that we don't worry all the time." Zhe Yueying said coquettishly.
"I'm going to Xia Guo and meet Li Yuanhao." Zhao Shuo said lightly.
"Go to Xia Kingdom?" Fang Yunshang tilted his head, looking puzzled.
"See Li Yuanhao?" Zhi Yueying was also confused.
"Li Yuanhao's war horse is already on the way to Longyou, in order to express my sincerity, I decided to transport small cannonballs to Yanzhou." Zhao Shuo said lightly. (To be continued.) )
