"Haha!" Song Shenzong raised his head to the sky, let out a cheerful laugh, and opened his mouth widely, ignoring the majesty of the Son of Heaven's Mu Mu at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he was not only laughing, but also hugged Wang Anshi tightly in his arms, like an excited child, slammed Wang Anshi's shoulder, and yelled: "Jiefu, Zhuozhou has been recovered!" Zhuozhou has been recovered! You know what? I said that what I thought about night and night was to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and Zhuozhou was recovered, and it was not far from recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun! ”

"Congratulations to the official! Congratulations to the official family! Wang Anshi was so excited that tears welled up.

In the attack on Zhuozhou, Wang Anshi was worried and hoped for victory all the time, so he didn't think about tea and dinner, and sat like a wood carving. Now, when the news of victory came, how could he not be excited.

Shao Jiu's eyes widened, and he looked at the two of them for a while, and then at the Empress Dowager Cao, and the surprise appeared on his face. Empress Dowager Cao, Empress Dowager Gao, and Empress Xiang opened their mouths, stunned, and didn't say a word, but just watched Song Shenzong's monarchs and ministers frolicking.

This persuasion and persuasion were reversed, originally Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi were petrified, but now they are the three petrified of Empress Dowager Cao, Empress Gao, and Empress Xiang. Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi were alive and well, their faces were full of joy and joy, and they only cared about the joy with their mouths open, and directly ignored the three Empress Dowager Cao.

"Jiefu, Zhuozhou has been recovered, and the recovery of Youzhou is not far away!" Song Shenzong was extremely excited, and suddenly saw the three Empress Dowager Cao, and was very surprised: "Grandmother, Queen Mother, how did you come to be born?" ”

"Me?" Empress Dowager Cao woke up in shock, looked at Song Shenzong, and said very dissatisfied: "Guanjia, how did you give birth?" The whole thing is that the mind does not belong, does not eat or drink, and is not afraid of damage to the dragon's body? ”

"Grandmother, don't worry. You see, grandchildren aren't very good. "Song Shenzong was overjoyed, full of energy, where is it like a person who hasn't eaten for a long time.

"Son, tell your grandmother, where are you singing? What happened to the cheers of the whole city? "Empress Dowager Cao has heard the cheers of the heaven-shattering sky clearly, and she already knows that Zhuozhou has been recovered. It was a good thing, but it was too sudden for her to figure out what was going on.

"Huh!" Song Shenzong first came with a series of laughter, helped the Empress Dowager Cao and said, "Grandfather, you sit down first, and let your grandson tell you in detail." ”

Helping the Empress Dowager Cao to sit down, and then helping the Empress Dowager Gao to sit down, Song Shenzong stood in front of the Empress Dowager Cao and said with a smile: "Grandmother, you already know that Zhuozhou has been recovered!" What a great event! ”

"Hmm!" Empress Dowager Cao said with joy on her face: "The recovery of Zhuozhou is certainly a happy event. However, the old body was confused, and just after the New Year, the news of the recovery of Zhuozhou came. ”

"Grandmother, what's so strange about that?" Song Shenzong said happily: "Can the hand under the Chinese New Year's Eve not receive good news in the New Year?" ”

"Chinese New Year's Eve war?" Not only was Empress Dowager Cao shocked, but even Empress Dowager Gao, Empress Xiang, and Shao Jiu were also shocked, where did they think of it.

"Who picks the time? It's so ruthless! No one could have imagined! Empress Dowager Cao stood up in shock, with a small mouth round and a look of shock: "Although the old body does not understand the way of soldiers, but the old body has also read some history books, since the Third and Fifth Emperors, who has fought on Chinese New Year's Eve?" The person who came up with this idea was damaged enough, which one was the one who lost? Is it Wang Shao? Well, not Wang Shao! Although Wang Shao is a famous general, he can't think of such a bad idea. By the way, isn't that Wu Ji? ”

Empress Dowager Cao thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of Wu Ji. She was right, the trick of using troops on Chinese New Year's Eve was really damaging, and no one could have imagined it.

"Huh!" Song Shenzong let out a burst of laughter and said, "Grandmother, this battle is to attack the enemy in a place that the enemy can't think of, at an unexpected time, and with an unexpected method of warfare. On Chinese New Year's Eve, we can't think of it, how can YelΓΌ Hongji think about it? This is called taking it by surprise and attacking it unprepared. ”

Empress Dowager Cao's good-looking eyebrows raised, her face sank, and she asked, "Xu'er, you haven't told your grandmother yet, who came up with the idea?" The old body really wants to know which bad guy came up with such a bad idea! ”

"Grandmother, you are wise! It's really from Wu Ji. Song Shenzong did not hide it from the Empress Dowager Cao, and as soon as the conversation changed, he said good things for Wu Ji: "Grandmother, Wu Ji is a talent and is very good at fighting!" It was a perfect time! Looking at the world, there will be no second person who wants to get it! ”

"What do you defend him? It's not that the old body can't get used to him. Empress Dowager Cao was a little funny, the joy on her face was a little more, and she said in a deep voice: "It is gratifying to recover Zhuozhou, but if Yelu Hongji counterattacks, it will be extremely fierce." Conquering Zhuozhou is just a beginning, the big war is behind, the official, what are you going to do? ”

Empress Dowager Cao is also a shrewd person, and she saw through the stakes at a glance and reminded Song Shenzong.

"Grandmother, do you need to ask? Of course, it's a hit! Song Shenzong was full of confidence, wrenched his fingers, and counted the account: "Grandmother, no matter what, as long as Zhuozhou is defeated, the Great Song Dynasty will be invincible!" It's invincible! ”

"You've said it to the fullest. The soldiers are in danger of fighting, how can there be any undefeated statement? Empress Dowager Cao's face sank, and she was a little displeased: "Xu'er, those who seek the country should be perfect, even if Zhuozhou is defeated, no one can say whether the Great Song Dynasty can win the next battle, you have to remember, you must not be arrogant." ”

She is right, there is no permanent victory on the battlefield, even if the Song Dynasty recovers Zhuozhou, whether it can win the next battle, no one can say, even Wu Ji does not dare to say enough.

"Hee-hee!" Song Shenzong still smiled and said, "Grandmother, you let your grandson talk carefully, and you will know what is going on." The reason why Sun Er said that Da Song was invincible is reasonable. If you take 10,000 steps back, even if the Great Song Dynasty is defeated and loses an army of 570,000, the Great Song Dynasty will not be defeated. ”

"Huh? With such a big loss, it's not considered a failure? Where does this begin? "The more Empress Dowager Cao listened, the more confused she became.

"Grandmother, you have to think so." Song Shenzong continued: "Even if the Great Song Dynasty fights, it has to retreat. Before the Great Song Dynasty withdrew, it would definitely destroy Zhuozhou City, burn the grain and grass here, bring the people who could be taken back to the Song Realm, and turn Yanyun into ruins. In this way, the Liao State could not borrow the power of Yan Yun to attack the Great Song Dynasty as before. Grandmother, you know, the land of Yanyun is the core of the Liao Kingdom, and if the power of Yanyun is not used, the strength of the Liao Kingdom will be greatly reduced, and it is impossible for Yelu Hongji to launch an attack on the Great Song Dynasty in a short period of time. ”

The land of Yanyun is too important for the Liao State, it is the main source of grain, grass and taxes, if it is destroyed by the Song Dynasty, the Liao State will be very sad, and it is impossible to launch a large-scale attack on the Song Dynasty in a short time.

"Hmmm! In this case, it makes sense. Empress Dowager Cao bowed slightly: "Besides, if the Great Song Dynasty loses 570,000 troops, Yelu Hongji will have to pay at least 350,000 yuan." After all, the current army of the Great Song Dynasty is not what it used to be, they can fight, dare to fight, and it is not a problem to make Yelu Hongji pay the price of 350,000. In addition, this has killed more than 56,900 Liao troops, that is to say, even if the Great Song Dynasty is defeated in this battle, Yelu Hongji will lose more than half of his army. With such large casualties, it was impossible for Yelu Hongji to launch an attack on the Great Song Dynasty under any circumstances. ”

"Ahh Song Shenzong agreed with this, struck heavily with both hands, and praised: "Grandmother is wise! In this way, if the Liao State wants to restore the old view, it is impossible without three or five years. With the strength of the Liao State, it will be restored within three or five years, that is because I look up to Yelu Hongji, to be precise, it is impossible to recover without more than ten years. With such a long period of time, I can free up my hands and deal with Western Xia with peace of mind. ”

"Hmm!" Empress Dowager Cao couldn't help nodding, and then said: "The Great Song Dynasty has faced the threat of Western Xia and Liao for decades, and it is difficult to concentrate its forces, which has caused a two-sided battle and exhaustion. Among the two countries, the Western Xia was the weakest, and the Great Song Dynasty took the Western Xia and then the Liao State as the national policy. If it was difficult for the Liao State to use troops on a large scale in ten years, the Great Song Dynasty could concentrate its forces against the Western Xia. Don't say that you can destroy the Western Xia, you only need to capture Hengshan, and you can lock the Western Xia in the northwest. Wang Shao has already seized the land of Xihe, and if he captures Hengshan again, it will be difficult for Western Xia to threaten the Great Song Dynasty. ”

These words were very incisive, and they were exactly what Song Shenzong was thinking now. It is still cost-effective to exchange the cost of 570,000 yuan for more than ten years.

As long as Hengshan was captured and Western Xia was locked in the northwest, the Song Dynasty avoided the drawbacks of fighting on two fronts and could concentrate its forces to confront one country. If you can enter Youzhou and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, the benefits to the Song Dynasty will be even greater.

Of course, Empress Dowager Cao thought of a problem, that is, if the sixteen states of Yanyun were recovered, Song Shenzong's status would be unshakable, and Song Shenzong would become a holy monarch, even if she wanted to abolish Song Shenzong.

She can have such a status because she can make Song Shenzong very scrupulous, and if she loses this advantage, her influence will be greatly reduced. However, this is already the case, and she can't stop it if she wants to.

Just when she was suffering from gains and losses, she saw Song Shenzong smile and said, "Grandmother, today is a big joy!" It's the New Year, and then there is good news, it's a joy and a joy, and we must celebrate and celebrate. The grandson dared to invite his grandmother and subjects to meet and celebrate this rare happy event! ”

"Me?" Empress Dowager Cao was very surprised. Appearing at this time, it was a very showy thing, she never imagined that Song Shenzong would ask her to go.

"Grandmother told her grandson that even if the sky is leaked, there is a grandmother to make up for the grandson, and the grandson dares to send troops to attack Zhuozhou." Song Shenzong was very sincere and said: "If it weren't for my grandmother, how could there be such a grand event, and on this festive occasion, I can't live without my grandmother." ”

Song Shenzong has his own calculations, and now, his relationship with the Empress Dowager Cao is the closest, if he takes this opportunity to completely pull the Empress Dowager Cao to his side, then Sima Guang's generation will be isolated, which will be of great benefit to the implementation of the new law.

Empress Dowager Cao looked at Song Shenzong for a while, only to see that Song Shenzong was very sincere, without the slightest fraud, she couldn't help but be very happy, holding Song Shenzong's hand, and kept patting, relieved: "Xu'er, you have filial piety!" You are really filial! Grandmother will go with you! ”
