Zhao Guangyi called Zhao Pu, but Zhao Pu didn't realize it, still closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, I don't know if he didn't hear it, or pretended not to hear it, the official next to him had to whisper twice in his ear, and Zhao Pu opened his cloudy old eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What's wrong?" Zhao Pu asked.

The official repeated Zhao Guangyi's words, and Zhao Pu nodded in hindsight, and searched among the officials, until he suddenly saw a young face, and Zhao Pu's old face smiled in folds.

"Your Majesty, instead of arguing here, let's listen to the thoughts of Zhuozhou Guhou, this plan was proposed by him, and he must have known the gains and losses." Zhao Pu said with a smile.

Zhao Guangyi nodded: "Where is Zhuozhou Valley?" ”

Zhuozhou Valley? Naturally, it is Zhao Gu, this time Zhao Gu also came over, who called him this marquis, the position is not big or small, it is equivalent to a third-grade official, and the specifications of this court meeting are so high that any third-grade official is not allowed to be absent, and Zhao Gu can only be ordered to come.

Of course, the group of people who had surrendered from the regime that had been divided into one side but were made high-ranking officials were naturally not notified, so they did not come.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Zhao Gu has been in the court, and he feels that everything is very fresh, especially when he sees that Lu Meng is coming up, he is immediately opposed by several high-ranking officials, and his mood is very comfortable.

Hearing Zhao Guangyi shouting to himself, Zhao Gu put away his smile and responded: "Zhuozhou Gu is here." ”

Zhao Guangyi said: "The plan to send troops to the Liao State was proposed by you, and today in this Zichen Palace, you can say all your thoughts." ”

"Yes."

Zhao Gu glanced at Lu Mengzheng with a scrupulous gaze, and then began to talk rhetorically.

"The minister feels that the direction of this court discussion is wrong, and it is certain that our Great Song Dynasty will take back the sixteen states of Yanyun, why are you discussing how many benefits there are and how much danger there are?"

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Guangyi asked.

"The sixteen states of Yanyun have been the land of the Han nationality since ancient times, and there are thousands of Han people in the sixteen states, and they are all looking forward to the imperial army to recover the sixteen states and return them to a bright future, so the minister feels that the sixteen states of Yanyun must be recovered, since our Great Song Dynasty has inherited the imperial system of the Tang Dynasty, it is natural to inherit the land of the Tang Dynasty and the responsibility, there should be no controversy about this matter, this is the wish of every Song Dynasty people, and it is also the responsibility of every Han people." Zhao Gu replied.

Zhao Guangyi nodded, the ministers were thoughtful, and Lu Mengzheng seemed to have something to say, but in the end he still didn't open his mouth.

"Go on." Zhao Guangyi said.

Zhao Gu smiled: "Since the sixteen states of Yanyun must be recovered, then the problem comes, the northern Liao country is powerful, the iron cavalry is fierce and invincible, and my Great Song State has frequent troubles, and the country has only been established for decades, and there is no spare strength to recover the sixteen states. ”

"Fortunately, the emperor had the foresight, and the two northern expeditions to the Liao State scared them, so that the northern frontier was calm for several years, and the Liao State spent a lot of troops and people in these two wars, and it has not recovered so far, and my Great Song Dynasty is far richer than the Liao State, and now it is a strong army, sitting on a million army, and there are few opponents under the soldiers."

When Zhao Gu said the first paragraph, Zhao Guangyi's face was quite unsightly, it seemed that he thought of the failure of the two Northern Expeditions, and he was about to get angry, but as Zhao Gu said that the reason why he did this was to subdue the Liao State and give the Great Song Dynasty time to develop, Zhao Guangyi's face gradually improved again, and finally showed a smile.

I only heard Zhao Gu say again: "All in all, although the Liao State is weaker than the Great Song Dynasty, it cannot be overly forced, so the national policy of my Great Song Dynasty should be gradual and secretive, and when the national strength is enough to abuse the Liao State, you can send troops to the Liao State." ”

"However, my Great Song Dynasty is developing in secret, how can the Liao Kingdom stagnate? If I want to wait until I can completely defeat the Liao State, I don't know what year and month I will have to wait. ”

"In this way, the deadlock between the two sides is afraid that it will not be easy to break in the short term, and if it drags on for a long time, the Han people of the sixteen states will definitely be assimilated by the Liao, and then there will be a dispute over who the sixteen states of Yanyun belong to, once we make these people feel cold, even if we really take the sixteen states of Yanyun, I am afraid that these people will no longer be loyal."

"What's more, if the Great Song Dynasty did not send troops until decades or even hundreds of years later, these Han people would have completely become Liao, and when we attack the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun again, these people who should have been our internal response will become our enemies."

"Therefore, the minister thought that sending troops to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun could be delayed, but it could not be delayed for a long time."

"Now God bless my Great Song Dynasty, it rains strange snow, the north is already cold, this year must be even worse, cattle and sheep people and horses do not know how much to freeze to death, Liao's national strength will be greatly affected, and my Great Song Dynasty has greenhouse technology, but will not starve to death a person, but increase production a lot, if at this time to attack Liao, one enemy is weak and I am strong, two is unexpected, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"And on the first day of the first month, it is the time when the whole family is happy, and everyone in the Great Song Dynasty celebrates the New Year, how could the Liao State never think that we would send troops to attack on this day, which is even more unexpected."

"The art of war is on the clouds, and it is unprepared to attack it by surprise, so the minister has reason to believe that there is a ninety percent chance that our plan this time can recover the sixteen states of Yanyun."

After saying a long paragraph in one breath, Zhao Gu smacked his lips, as if he was a little unsatisfied, his eyes rolled, and finally stopped, quietly waiting for Zhao Guangyi's next words.

And this series of words directly stunned the full hall of civil and military, everyone heard him from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, from the past to the future, from ideas to practices, from strategy to tactics, from righteousness to people's hearts, only to feel as if there was a large swarm of bees in front of their eyes, turning and ......turning.

Of course, a few people still kept up with Zhao Gu's out-of-the-box thinking, such as Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu, and then Lu Mengzheng, Li Fu, Lu Guogong, etc.

This kind of people were stunned by Zhao Gu's full and comprehensive analysis, they thought about it carefully, Zhao Gu's statement was not wrong at all, his analysis was reasonable, and it was difficult for people to disagree.

Zhao Pu's old eyes swept over everyone without a trace, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, but he quickly retracted it, as if he was silently mocking something.

In the end, it was Lu Mengzheng who was the first to speak: "The old man admits that what Zhuozhou Guhou said is reasonable, but the so-called unforeseen circumstances in the sky, so the old man wants to ask, why is it only a ninety percent possibility?" What about the other one? ”

Zhao Gu smiled: "Another one? Of course, when our soldiers and horses take back the sixteen states of Yanyun and completely subdue the army of Liao, they may continue to push forward! ”
