"Wow!" With a sound, the black cloth was ripped up...... All eyes were on the object beneath the black cloth. Yue Shao'an looked at it at a glance, and saw the mountains and rivers above, and the cities all over the country, vivid, as if they were real. Even the architectural style of the city wall, and the words written on it, are generally the same.

Everyone stared at it for a long time, and they couldn't help but gasp. Among the ministers, a middle-aged man in charge of diplomacy looked shocked, stretched out his hand and pointed at the mountains and rivers above, his voice trembled a little, and said, "Emperor, emperor, this, this...... This is Dali's distribution map! ”

When he said this, everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar. Dali's distribution map, what did the emperor do with this thing? He will not be bored and want to study the customs of Dali. This is obviously not, thinking of the previous emperor's southern expedition, Dali's attitude towards Song Shicheng's side, all the ministers were moved in their hearts. It seems that it is time to use troops against Dali. What they thought in their hearts, their faces also changed, but no one dared to say it directly.

Yue Shaoan's gaze swept down, crossed everyone's faces, and finally landed on the official who spoke earlier. This man's name was Cao Zihuan, and he was an old minister of King Liang. After Yue Shao'an captured Song Shicheng, he kept it when he saw that he was talented, but Song Shicheng was only a city, and there were not many people needed for military and political affairs, so Yue Shao'an still used it more as a confidant, and this Cao Zihuan became such an official with no real power in diplomatic history. Now Song Shicheng is still nominally a territory of the Great Song Dynasty, so the names of officials at all levels are also different from those of the Song court. Although this diplomatic history has the same function as the Honglu Temple of the Great Song Dynasty, there is still a difference in the name.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the word Cao Pi who usurped the Han Dynasty and established himself was called Zihuan, this Cao Zihuan is similar to his name, so Yue Shaoan only heard it once and remembered it, and now seeing him speak, I think he must have something to say. said with a smile: "Since Zihuan speaks, he must have an opinion, let's listen to it." ”

Cao Zihuan frowned, opened his mouth, and was a little afraid to answer. After all, it is not good to think about one's intentions, and those who are pretentious and intelligent and have repeatedly broken their intentions are not very few. The typical representative is Bo Yang Xiu, the master of Cao Cao's subordinates. Therefore, although Cao Zihuan guessed Yue Shaoan's intentions, he didn't dare to say it, and he opened his mouth for a while, but he didn't know what to do.

Yue Shao'an looked at him like this, and couldn't help laughing: "If you have anything to say, I am not a person who loves to kill, no matter how you say it, you are so scared that you dare not speak." This is not good, this is not good! ”

Cao Zihuan saw that Yue Shao'an was not pretentious, and he was able to reveal this picture in front of them, obviously he didn't intend to hide it from them. Thinking of this, he became much bolder, took a step forward, clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "Since the emperor asked, then his subordinates will be bold and hope that the emperor will forgive his sins." ”

Yue Shaoan smiled and nodded slightly, motioning for him to continue.

Cao Zihuan coughed lightly and said: "Dali and my Song Shicheng were originally dependent on each other, and in the past, the Great Song Dynasty was restrained by the Jin people, and they would not use troops against Dali." However, since the emperor led the troops on his back and drove the Jin people back to Huanglongfu, the threat from the north of the Great Song Dynasty has been removed, and at this time, Dali has to make friends with our Song Shicheng and resist the unknown division of the imperial court. In addition, Dali and Song Shicheng have the good of Qin and Jin, and they complement each other, which is the best. Saying that, he looked at Yue Shao'an's expression, and saw that there was no change, so he strengthened his courage again, and said: "However, Dali is not satisfied with this, he actually reneged on the covenant, and almost trapped my Song Shicheng in a place where there is no return, and also caused the two ladies to die. Therefore, his subordinates thought that the emperor should raise troops to crusade against Dali, avenge the two ladies, and find justice for the soldiers who died in the Song Division. In the end, Cao Zihuan felt more and more that what he said was right, and turned Yue Shaoan's idea into his own suggestion, so emotional, his face was red, and the two strands of beard on his lips flew straight up, which was quite imposing.

After hearing this, Yue Shao'an smiled noncommittally, turned his head to look at everyone, and said, "What do you think of Lord Cao's words?" ”

"Emperor, according to the humble opinion of his subordinates, Cao Zihuan's words are very inappropriate, and it is simply a misdirection for the country and the people to say something serious." An old minister with a gray beard stepped forward, rolled his eyes, and glanced at Cao Zihuan fiercely.

Yue Shao'an went to the prestige, but saw that the man was the old man in charge of money and food, named Wu Qimeng. He smiled and said, "What does the old man think is wrong?" ”

Wu Qimeng said loudly: "Emperor Since, our Song Shicheng has just experienced a big war, and now the surplus grain in the city is not abundant, although our Song Shicheng is rich, but most of them are silver money, and now it has just arrived in summer, the new grain has not arrived, and it is not obvious on weekdays, if there is a war, this silver money will be difficult to exchange for rice grain for a while." Therefore, his subordinates thought that the emperor must not listen to Cao Zihuan's slander, and suddenly raised an army, and the people would inevitably be on fire between fire and water, and the peaceful and prosperous world that the emperor had finally created would be destroyed. ”

As soon as the words fell, Yue Shaoan hadn't spoken, Cao Zihuan didn't do it, this old man was too unpopular, you can say your opinion, how can what I say become slander. Immediately, with a look of displeasure on his face, he smiled coldly and said, "Sure enough, it's a foolish opinion." The world is so big, I haven't heard of money that can't buy food. is saying that now that the emperor has reconciled with the imperial court, it is not difficult to buy grain from the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. Moreover, from my Song Shicheng to Shicheng County, the grain-producing place of Dali, is only more than 200 miles. As long as the emperor's iron cavalry breaks through quickly and takes Shicheng County as quickly as possible, are you still worried that there is no supply of food and grass? If it is a corner of peace, under the pretext of recuperating business and the people being war-weary, this is the real slander. Now although we have more than ten counties under the jurisdiction of Song Shicheng, if we talk about strong cities, there is only one city in Song Shicheng, and if there is a war, we can't advance and retreat freely. Once the city is broken, there will not even be a place to live. Although it is still a peaceful season, it is because the Great Song Dynasty is so injured that it is unable to fight again, and Dali is afraid of the prestige of the emperor, and he is afraid that he will easily use his troops to be attacked by the Great Song Dynasty and us, so he can be happy for a while. But once the emperor turns his face, how can he protect himself at that time? Therefore, the subordinates thought that it was understandable to use troops against Dali to obey the orders of the heavens and justify it. The emperor should make a decision......"

"Piff, Piff's view." The old man of Wu Qimeng was furious, stretched out his hand and pointed at Cao Zihuan, and said: "I really don't know how much money and food is in charge of, and I don't know how expensive rice is." Is the battle that easy to fight? To fight a war is to lose one's life, no money and food, and ......"

"Short-sighted......

"Alright...... All right! Yue Shao'an saw that the two of them were about to quarrel, his face sank slightly, he raised his hand, and said, "What the two adults said has their own sense. But it is difficult for one person to think comprehensively after all, so it is better to listen to the opinions of several others before making a decision. ”

"Yes!" The two saluted, snorted coldly at each other, and sat back.

Yue Shaoan looked at Niu Ren again and said, "Old Niu, what do you think?" ”

Everyone's eyes turned to Niu Ren. Everyone knows that Niu Ren is Yue Shao'an's right-hand man, and his words will inevitably have a stronger impact on Yue Shao'an, so they can't help but pay a little more attention to what he said. It's just that Niu Ren didn't seem to realize this, he didn't plan to speak, but when he saw Yue Shao'an asking, he got up and said, "The subordinate is just a martial artist before the battle, and he will not interfere in the major decision of the survival of this relationship." However, since the emperor asked, then I have the right to say my opinion, it is just a personal statement, whether it is right or not, it is all up to the city and the adults to decide. With that, he looked around with his fists clenched. The crowd hurriedly returned the salute.

After being polite, Niu Ren continued, "Song Shicheng has always been based on heavy business. However, in the Taiping period, it was true that heavy commerce could ensure the prosperity of our Song Shicheng for a while, but after this war, its shortcomings also came out. We lack land, we can't attack and retreat, and if we can't get around for a long time, it will be even more difficult to gain a foothold. Even if peace has been restored now, you can see that the city will not be able to return to its pre-war prosperity for a while. ”

When Niu Ren said this, he stopped talking and slowly retreated. However, the meaning of his words could not be more obvious, and it is also the main battle.

Yue Shaoan moved his gaze to Wen Chengfang again, and said, "Chengfang, what do you think?" ”

Wen Chengfang saluted and said: "Emperor, according to the intention of his subordinates, I also feel that it is not a way to be in a safe corner now, after all, after this lesson, the disadvantages of the lonely city have been revealed. But that's back again. If we fight Dali now, what will the imperial court do? If the imperial court orders Yang Fan to go south again at this moment, then we will be in danger when we talk about suffering from the enemy on our backs. ”

"Yes, yes......" Wen Chengfang's voice fell, and immediately caused a chorus of echoes. Yue Shao'an's brows furrowed when he heard this, he didn't expect that there were so many people who disapprove. At first, he thought that even if there was some resistance, it should come from the side of the civil ministers, and the military generals must be willing. But the current scene was beyond his expectations.

In the midst of the dispute, Zhang Heng never said a word, Zhu Chongyi also sat on the side and looked at everyone lightly, Yue Shaoan had already ordered him to draw this map, he naturally understood what Yue Shaoan thought. Of course, the drawing of this map mainly relies on the strength of the Supervision Division. Before Yue Shao'an had this idea, Zhuo Yan had already begun to do this, not only from Dali, but also from the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom. It's just that without Yue Shao'an's order, he hasn't started drawing yet. Therefore, he knew that Yue Shaoan had decided to use troops against Dali, but because his qualifications were not enough, it was difficult for him to speak up.

Yue Shaoan listened to everyone's argument, his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair, quietly, and did not say anything to stop it, as if he was waiting for something.

Zhu Chongyi looked at Yue Shao'an's movements, lowered his eyebrows and pondered, and suddenly, he raised his head suddenly, as if he had thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face. Just as the sound of the dispute intensified, a footstep came in, Yue Shao'an looked at it, only to see a thin figure in front of the door gradually revealed, he Huo Ran stood up and walked forward.

There was a sudden silence in the room, and everyone looked towards the door. There, Zhuo Yan was dressed in black, walked slowly, and walked in. Seeing Yue Shao'an personally greet him, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "How dare you have Mr. Lao Yue to greet you in person." ”

Yue Shao'an smiled and said, "It's okay, the matter over there has already been done?" ”

Zhuo Yan smiled rarely: "Fortunately, Mr. Yue is not dishonored!" ”

"Good, good, good!" Yue Shaoan patted Zhuo Yan's shoulder heavily, laughed, and said, "I have already decided to go west in three days." The people here today are all people that I can trust Yue Shao'an, and I hope you will not leak the news. Alright, all stand down! ”
