Wang Jing and others also mentioned that they hoped that Emperor Chai Rong would send a large army to come, and at the same time ordered the troops to attack the surrounding towns.

Both sides won and lost, and for a time the war seemed to have entered a stalemate, and the Later Zhou court was discussing the western expedition.

The civil and military generals stood on both sides of each other, and saluted Emperor Chai Rong in unison, and after a cumbersome etiquette, a long time has passed.

Then Chai Rong talked about the content of this court, that is, the western expedition of Wang Jing and others. Zhao Xu stood in the last row, and his heart was not calm.

He remembered that in history, this Hu Li was only captured by Hou Shu, and later when the two sides exchanged prisoners, he was also released.

Why did he die this time, could it be that he came here by himself and affected some things.

Whatever, even if he can be reborn and cross, what can't happen, it depends on the situation. I can't figure it out? Let's take a look!

Prime Minister Li Gu was originally opposed to the western expropriation of Qin, Feng and other states, and he strongly opposed the dispatch of troops at the beginning.

However, due to Chai Rong's strict decree at that time, he had to agree, and now that Wang Jing's army was defeated, and both sides had entered a state of stalemate, he had reason to oppose it.

So this is known as the most heartfelt minister in the post-Zhou Chai Rong era, and he began his opposition plan again.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say." Li Gu left where he was standing, walked to the middle of the court, and saluted Chai Rong.

Chai Rong glanced down, it turned out to be Lao Li Gu, and he felt uncomfortable for a while, this Li Gu was loyal, but he just didn't understand the general trend of unification.

However, in the court, he can't help but give this prime minister a face, otherwise how will Li Gu lead hundreds of officials in the future?

"It turned out to be Fan Xiang, please tell me what Fan Xiang has in mind." Chai Rong said gently.

Although Li Gu was standing, his body was still slightly bowed, this was etiquette, and Li Gu, who was born in Confucianism, was very concerned.

"Lao Chen thinks that we should first withdraw our troops from the northwest, and we should not use any more troops." Li Gu looked at Chai Rong without any abnormality, and then continued:

"Lao Chen has a certain reason, first of all, since Wang Jing and others sent troops, only at the beginning, they won victories, and the rest of the time they lost their troops, and they were all my soldiers of the Great Zhou."

Speaking of this, Li Gu actually squeezed out a few tears, this is a top actor;!

When Zhao Xu saw this scene, he remembered a famous sentence from his previous life: "You are an actor, so how can you be a good president?"

"As a president, you don't know how to act, how can you be a good president!"

This question and answer was very popular at that time, which shows that a political and political figure must know how to "pretend", that is, to have the potential of an actor.

Now Zhao Xu looks at this Li Gu as an excellent actor.

Li Gu shed a few old tears, and continued:

"It can be said that Wang Jing and the others have worked in vain, and the most important thing is that this expedition has already cost countless money and food."

Li Gu said more and more smoothly: "Moreover, the logistics of grain and grass transportation this time is also relatively difficult, and it is three times slower than usual to cross mountains and mountains. Besides, there is not much money left in the treasury. Therefore, the old minister begged to stop the expedition to the west. ”

After Li Gu finished speaking, he retreated to his position in the court. As soon as he finished speaking, the few people below who were originally opposed to sending troops all jumped out in favor of Li Gu's proposal.

Chai Rong is also very irritable, he can be arbitrary, but he can't go his own way, he must take into account the unity of the imperial court.

This is the first step for me to want reunification, is it just like this, so can my strategy be implemented in the future!

Even the four states of Qin, Feng, Cheng, and Jie, the birthplaces of the Central Plains Dynasty, could not be recovered, and how could they unify the world.

Could it be that he really can't take back Qinfeng Sizhou smoothly this time, and the first step is frustrated, what will he do in the future?

No, we must not be in such a hurry to withdraw our troops, because the withdrawal of troops does not mean that we have made a mistake in decision-making, and we may lose our military morale as a result.

Chai Rong sat on the dragon chair and thought irritably.

Suddenly, Zhao Kuangyin stood up out of class, and Zhao Kuangyin's heart was also extremely shocked, remembering the conversation between him and Zhao Xu's father and son last night.

"Dad, when we go to court tomorrow, Your Majesty may let us discuss whether or not to continue the westward expedition to Qin Feng."

But that's how Zhao Xu said reads;.

"When I arrived, someone would definitely say that Wang Jing and others had been old and useless for a long time, and they were poor in food and grass for a long time, and they wanted to stop the westward expedition."

Now that Zhao Xu said all these things have appeared, Zhao Kuangyin came out of class to play:

"Your Majesty, Minister Zhao Kuangyin has something to play." Zhao Kuangyin was already prepared in his heart, and he was talking to Chai Rong according to his conversation with his son last night.

Chai Rong saw that he was his brother, and even more so his beloved general, so he nodded and let him continue.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what we say here now is in vain, because we don't know what the situation at the front is like."

"Besides, when General Wang's recital arrived in Bianjing, it had taken so long, maybe the situation on the front line had already changed, I think we should send someone to the front line to investigate on the spot, without inspection, there is no right to speak."

Where did Zhao Kuangyin gush endlessly, here Zhao Xu was secretly laughing, this is the content of his conversation with his father last night.

I didn't expect this lovely dad to recite it word for word, but fortunately, he didn't tell Zhao Kuangyin at that time that practice is the only criterion for testing whether the truth is correct or not, otherwise Lao Zhao would really be able to say it.

How can people in this era understand a sentence summed up by the wisdom accumulated by China for thousands of years?

In fact, Zhao Kuangyin said so much to Chai Rong, and it can be summed up in one sentence:

"Send people to the front line immediately to verify the feasibility of this western expedition again."

Chai Rong didn't want to withdraw the army in the first place, but now that he has such a good excuse, can he not want to, and immediately clapped his hands and said yes.

Even some generals will die to support it, who said that our generals don't know how to write and ink, look at our Lord Zhao Kuangyin, it's not the head of the Tao, it's not worse than your old masters.

Before Chai Rong had time to ask the ministers to recommend people, Zhao Kuangyin automatically asked Ying to go to the front line in Qinzhou.

Chai Rong was originally going to send someone he trusted and had outstanding abilities, but in fact, he would have the heart to let Zhao Kuangyin go.

Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin took the initiative to ask, he waved his sleeves and ordered Zhao Kuangyin to act cheaply and go to the front line to inspect the real situation.

Originally, Zhao Xu wanted to go by himself, but he thought about it, let's let that dad go, he is too young, and he can't be promoted again in the short term after making great contributions.

Moreover, in history, the father was in the limelight in the process of conquering the four states of Shu, Qin, and Feng, and was even more relied on by Chai Rong.

Therefore, he tried his best to persuade his father at the latest that he must take the initiative to invite Ying to Qinzhou to inspect, the reason is for His Majesty's unification of the world.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin always wanted to assist Chai Rong to sweep ** again, unify the world, and let the people face the poison of war.

"If other people go, they may disobey the yin and the yang and destroy the great cause of the unification of the imperial court, at will, father, you must strive to go to the front line of Qinzhou to inspect, send the most real situation to Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty feel at ease to cut down Hou Shu."

This is what Zhao Xu said to him last night, Zhao Kuangyin felt that what his son said was very right, and for the sake of reunification, he did it all today.

Zhao Kuangyin did not go home, and immediately set off to the front line in Qinzhou, he did not patrol the border like Zhao Jizha of Houshu.

Zhao Kuangyin went deep into the ordinary soldiers to understand their morale, and asked them about their confidence in the war.

At the same time, he discussed with several generals on the front line, strategy and tactics, and looked at the attitude of the generals, and finally Zhao Kuangyin summed up two words:

Battleable!

Later, in July of the second year of Zhou Xiande, Zhao Kuangyin returned to Bianjing and claimed that Qinzhou and Fengzhou could be captured. and stated his own views, and also brought a letter of invitation from the front-line soldiers.

Chai Rong accepted Zhao Kuangyin's opinion and continued to attack the four states of Houshu, Qin, and Feng, which meant that the military spirit could not be violated.

Li Gu and other opposition parties are also speechless, like defeated roosters, in fact, they don't have any bad intentions, they just question the victory of this war.

In the end, it's all for the country!

Chai Rong immediately ordered, Wang Jing began to concurrently serve as the envoy of the southwest camp, and Xiang Xun concurrently served as the supervisor of the camp and horses. Continue the great cause of cutting down Hou Shu.

At the same time, an additional 10,000 forbidden troops were sent to the Qinzhou front.
