The silence continued, and no one spoke. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Fu's personality was like fire, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, colleagues, it is better to decide this matter earlier, the 50,000 army is located in Western Xia, and it will change later!" ”

In the end, Zhao Guangyi sighed: "That's it, just according to Li Aiqing's meaning, if you don't call Yi Dechao back, I'm afraid that the 50,000 army will not be able to be saved." ”

The ministers looked at each other and finally nodded.

When they first sent troops, they tried their best to oppose them, and now the withdrawal of troops is naturally the meaning of the topic.

At this moment, an old voice made a different sound.

"Your Majesty, Weichen does not approve of withdrawing troops."

Zhao Guangyi and the ministers immediately heard that the person who spoke was Zhao Pu, and couldn't help but show surprise, Zhao Guangyi asked, "Brother Huang, do you have any opinion?" ”

Zhao Pu coughed: "The battle of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, my Great Song Dynasty has become famous all over the world, and all the countries in the four seas are shocked, if the Western Xia War wins again, I am afraid that these small countries will come to vote one after another, and at that time, my Great Song Dynasty will not be weak and prosperous, and the emperor will also become a figure like Tang Taizong, famous through the ages." ”

"But if this war ends here, the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty will inevitably be greatly damaged, and who of these small countries will take the Great Song Dynasty in their eyes in the future?"

"On the other hand, after this war, Li Jiqian is bound to declare that the sun is in full swing in Western Xia, and the national strength of Western Xia has risen greatly, while the morale of my Great Song Dynasty has plummeted.

Everyone was woken up by his words, and they were all afraid, if things were really as Zhao Pu said, then the Western Xia Kingdom would never be able to get it back.

In fact, the Great Song Dynasty in history, until it was destroyed by the Mongols, did not recover the Western Xia and Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, which is also a great regret in the history of the Chinese nation.

Lu Mengzheng sighed: "I heard what Xiangye said, and the younger generation benefited a lot. As Xiang Ye said, if this war ends here, the Great Song Dynasty will inevitably become a laughing stock, and Liao, Western Xia, Jiaojiao and other countries will inevitably become less and less concerned about the Great Song Dynasty, so the younger generations also feel it now...... This battle can't be stopped! ”

The ministers were speechless, and now, they also know the situation of the Great Song Dynasty, it is difficult to ride a tiger, if the Great Song Dynasty insists on withdrawing the army, the national prestige will inevitably be damaged, and the morale will also plummet.

But if the Great Song Dynasty continued its westward expedition, where would the grain and grass come from?

Even if the Great Song Dynasty had enough grain and grass at this time, who could take over the mess of Mi Dechao and continue the westward expedition until the recovery of Western Xia?

The ministers were embarrassed, although they didn't say it on their faces, no one knew if they had a grudge against Zhao Guangyi in their hearts, after all, he had to go west, and Mi Dechao was also his favorite general.

"Brother Huang, the Great Song Dynasty is in a difficult situation now, how can we get out of the unfavorable situation?" Zhao Guangyi asked Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu said solemnly: "After all, the Great Song Dynasty has been founded for decades, if you find a way, the food will not worry for the time being, as long as the court is determined, I believe the people will understand the court." ”

Zhao Guangyi then asked: "Brother Huang is saying that he wants to borrow grain from rich people?" ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Guangyi nodded: "This method is very good, fortunately, the autumn harvest is imminent, and the imperial court will have a tax revenue treasury soon, and it will be returned to them in the future, but ...... the leader of this Western Expedition is selected?" ”

Zhao Guangyi also saw it at this time, even if Mi Dechao was more central to him, his ability was placed there after all, if he was allowed to continue to lead the army to the west, I was afraid that no amount of troops and food would be enough for him to build, so Zhao Guangyi also felt that it was time to change generals.

Zhao Pu thought for a while and said: "Originally, if veterans such as Cao Bin and Hu Yanzan came out, it would naturally be the best, but after Pan Mei returned from the Northern Expedition, his health was not as good as before, and I am afraid that it would be ......." Alas, so Weichen thinks that this time the leader will let the young generals go. ”

"Young general?" A figure flashed in Zhao Guangyi's heart, it was Zhao Gu.

But thinking that Zhao Gu was sick, Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but feel embarrassed, could it be that Zhao Gu was allowed to bring illness to the battlefield?

Besides, he was also afraid that Zhao Gu would make another great contribution, so that he would have no reward, and the situation would be troublesome again.

"Let Yang Yanzhao go, can you?" Zhao Guangyi asked tentatively.

Zhao Pu shook his head: "Yang Yanzhao's ability is no longer inferior to Yang Ye, but after all, there are only generals, but no handsome talents." ”

"So, it has to be Zhao Gu?" Zhao Guangyi asked with a look of distress on his face.

Zhao Pu didn't speak, but his face was also bitter, Zhao Guangyi immediately understood what he meant, and immediately ordered: "Order Zhao Gu, the Marquis of Zhuozhou County, to order him to be the general of the Western Expedition, and immediately lead the army to go out, be sure to recover the Western Xia, and when he returns from leading the army, I will personally hold a banquet for him to celebrate." ”

Zhao Ling'er, as Zhao Guangyi's personal eunuch, immediately prepared the holy decree, handed it to Zhao Guangyi to read, and after confirming that it was correct, he stamped the big seal, and immediately sent it to Xianyun Villa by the eunuch.

In Xianyun Villa, it was gloomy and bleak at this time, just because Zhao Gu hadn't woken up yet.

Su Xiaocheng, Liu Qiaoqiao, Shangguan Sisi, and the four daughters of Cheshire were all standing next to him, while the five doctors were discussing their illness from a distance.

"Four, although Zhao Houye's illness is not serious, I am afraid that it will be difficult to wake up for three or two days, even if I drink the Qingxin soup I prescribed, it will be difficult to fully recover within a month or two, I wonder if the four of you have a better recipe?" One of the gray-haired doctors said.

The other four shook their heads in unison, this gray-haired doctor is a famous doctor in Kaifeng, and his ability is indeed not small, and the ideas of the other four people are almost not different from him.

And this Qingxin soup was also the first to be proposed by him, and others didn't think of this method for the first time, so as long as this treatment is based on him.

So, the five doctors immediately decided on the treatment method and reported it to Su Xiaocheng to know.

Su Xiaocheng and the other four daughters heard that Zhao Gu's illness was not serious, and they were slightly relieved, and said: "There are five gentlemen, so please treat it with your heart, and when Hou Ye wakes up, Hou Ye will have a heavy reward." ”

The five doctors nodded and immediately went down to prescribe medicine.

But at this time, the eunuch ordered by Zhao Guangyi came to Xianyun Villa and announced Zhao Guangyi's will.

Su Xiaocheng and the other four daughters had no choice but to take the holy decree for Zhao Gu, and when the holy decree was finished, Su Xiaocheng came forward to inform the eunuch of Zhao Gu's illness, and then said: "Father-in-law, right now Zhao Hou Ye has become sick like this, I'm afraid it's ...... I am afraid that it will be difficult to carry out the emperor's will, so I asked my father-in-law to convey it on my behalf and inform the emperor and the high-ranking officials of the Hou Ye's illness. ”

The eunuch also knew that the situation was serious, nodded his head, and immediately left, returned to Zichen Palace, and informed everyone in the court of Zhao Gu's illness.
