In the world, there are only two countries, one is weak and the other is strong.

A weak country must be mentally prepared for a weak country, otherwise Saddam Hussein will be second.

Zhao Pu sneered: "Destroying gold is my life's wish. Bloodbathing the shame of Jingkang is my pursuit. If God stands in my way, I will kill God; If the Buddha stands in my way, I will kill the Buddha; If there are stubborn people who stand in my way, I will not hesitate to play the war of annihilation! ”

The tone was cold, gloomy, with endless killing intent.

The Goryeo envoy looked stunned, and he didn't expect the emperor of the Song Dynasty to be like this.

Goryeo envoys sent envoys to the Song Dynasty many times, and the emperors of the Song Dynasty were mostly polite, humble and gentlemanly, and most of them paid attention to face and demeanor. But this emperor of the Song Dynasty had no face, no grace at all, and no bargaining, some just accepted it or not.

Accepted, everything is easy to say; Don't accept it, cut people!

Simple, direct, violent, and too lazy to perform a little conspiracy!

Like a reckless man!

"Under His Majesty, Goryeo was far away from the Song Dynasty and close to the Jin Kingdom. Today, Goryeo and the Song Dynasty have formed an alliance, and tomorrow I, Goryeo, will have the disaster of destroying the country! The Goryeo envoy cried, "Let me go!" ”

Zhao Pu sneered and didn't say a word.

Goryeo is a weak country, so it is necessary to be prepared for the younger brother of the Great Song Dynasty and cooperate strategically, and it is impossible to stay out of this war.

Now, the battle between Song and Jin has begun, and if you want to stop fighting and negotiate peace, it is simply impossible, only the Jin State will overthrow the Song Dynasty, or the Song Dynasty will go to China, and there is no third way to choose. It's just that the more you fight with the Jin army. The more unreliable it feels.

In the first Northern Expedition, the coordination and combat ability of the various units of the Song Army was too poor. This time, the four roads went to Jinguo, and between the four roads, they almost fought separately, you fought yours, I fought mine, and sometimes they pulled each other's back. It's a fluke of victory, and it's normal for there to be defeat.

Now. With the economic strength and military strength of the Song Dynasty, it maintained a confrontation with the Jin army. It's okay to recover some old land once in a while, and win some battles; But if you want to completely eliminate the Jin army, you can't do it at all, if you are impatient, you will attack rashly. It is likely that the Battle of Fupyeong will be staged again.

To change all that. Zhao Pu decided to implement a new strategy and win by surprise.

And Goryeo is the new strategy, an important fulcrum.

Now that Shandong has been captured and an alliance with Goryeo has been formed, a pincer offensive will be formed, which can threaten the hinterland of the Jin army such as Youyun and Liaodong on land, and can also be dominated by some islands in the Bohai Sea and Huanghuai, forming an island chain encirclement.

Once the situation opens. Militarily, a strategic initiative will be formed. It can threaten the hinterland of the Jin army at any time. At that time, the Jin army had to send a large number of troops to defend Youyun, Liaodong, where there was spare strength, to attack the Song Dynasty; Economically, it has also achieved blockade and siege, preventing strategic materials from entering the territory of Jinguo, and completely trapping Jinguo.

Therefore, an alliance with Goryeo was imperative; If Goryeo is knowledgeable, everything is easy to say, ask for money for money, and ask for grain for food; If he is not interested, Zhao Pu doesn't mind playing a war to destroy the country.

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the household is in danger. Goryeo is like a tiger and wolf, invading our Great Song Dynasty today, and invading Goryeo tomorrow. Only by completely eradicating the Jin Kingdom and exterminating the Jurchens can we be as stable as Mount Tai! At this time, Qin Hui, who was standing on the side, spoke.

One sings red face, the other sings black face, which can set off the atmosphere. And the black face is mostly the courtiers, and the red face is mostly the king, only in this way can the king's wisdom and the courtier's loyalty be shown.

It's a pity that His Majesty the Emperor didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, he kept singing blackface and going into battle shirtless.

Zhao Ding also said: "The Jin Kingdom has already weakened, first with the defeat of Luoshui, and then with the strength of Liaodong, and even lost most of Shandong. Goryeo formed an alliance with our Great Song Dynasty and beat the water dogs, and the Jin Kingdom will surely perish as soon as possible. At that time, our dynasty will inevitably form an alliance with Goryeo for generations! ”

And the other civil servants are also on the scene one after another, you say a word, I will say a word, some are tempting, some are threatening, and some are reasonable.........

At this moment, the literati once again played the characteristics of group fighting, verbally and penually, and it was impossible for the Goryeo envoy to even interject a word.

Until, the most retreating towards departure.

The first time, I met with the Goryeo envoy, and that was it.

The price is sky-high, and the money is paid back on the ground.

Zhao Pu can be impatient and can say cruel things; But the courtiers can't, and the courtiers have to negotiate carefully to get the most advantage.

…………

In Honglu Temple, foreign envoys are mainly received.

And at the moment, the main thing is to receive Goryeo envoys. There were about 100 Goryeo envoys, envoys, and guards on this trip, bringing not only tribute, but also some gold and silver, mainly to bribe Song Dynasty officials and strive for the best situation.

And at the moment, in a room.

The Goryeo envoy, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and had a flexible mechanism, stood respectfully on the side, and in the right seat, there was a girl in Tsing Yi.

This girl in green clothes, who was none other than the princess of Goryeo, hid in the embassy and went to the main hall to meet the emperor in person.

In fact, the covenant was bound to be signed, because the Song Dynasty was strong, while Goryeo was weak.

It's just that the strength of the signature is different; There are also differences in the intensity of implementation.

Once the covenant was signed, it meant that Goryeo was in danger. If the Song and Jin Dynasty fought and the Song Dynasty was defeated, it could still be ruled by dividing the river, and it could still be stable and peaceful, but Goryeo would have the disaster of destroying the country.

The Song Dynasty was unreliable, always betraying allies, and there were always problems at critical moments.

In order to prevent Goryeo from being betrayed, the princess personally went to Hangzhou to meet His Majesty, the emperor of the Song Dynasty. In order to find out whether the emperor's nature is reliable. If it is reliable, it is not necessary to sign a covenant; But if this emperor of the Song Dynasty is ambitious and talented, he can only ally with the Jin State.

Everything depends on the ability of the emperor of the Song Dynasty!

If you are looking for a big brother, you must also find a responsible big brother, otherwise you will have no sense of security.

"Princess, the emperor of the Song Dynasty is really rude, where is the king of the Tao!" The Goryeo envoy said, his tone a little dissatisfied.

"It's not necessarily rude, you can write first-class good words, and you are a generation of merry princes in Bianliang, how can you be rude!" Princess Goryeo said, "It's just that I can't understand him!" ”

"This emperor is simple, direct, and rude, he doesn't know how to use power at all, he doesn't know the emperor's strategy at all, and he doesn't have a trace of Mingjun's demeanor, but he has stabilized the situation, and the situation is unprecedentedly good, not only has he kept half of the Great Song Dynasty, but the Northern Expedition has achieved brilliant results!"

"Most emperors are covered with layers of fog, giving people an unfathomable feeling and an unfathomable feeling to their courtiers; But this emperor is like a blank piece of paper, what is is what it is, it is clearly visible! ”

And this emperor, on the contrary, is too lazy to use power tricks, too lazy to use conspiracy, or disdain to play those small ways. Whether it is marching to war, or governing the government, or appointing officials, it is simple and direct, and you don't need the courtiers to figure it out carefully, you can know the meaning of the Emperor Dao! ”

"He never concealed his intentions, and everyone could know what he wanted, which was the great evil of the king. A king should hide his intentions in order to prevent his courtiers from doing what he likes, and from deceiving his subordinates. But he doesn't care at all, whether he is willing to cater to him, whether he is deceived or concealed, he doesn't care, as long as the goal is achieved, it is enough! ”

For a moment, Princess Goryeo was a little confused.

This emperor of the Song Dynasty is very different, unlike ordinary emperors, he is not a Ming monarch, and he is not as deep as the abyssal sea; Not tyrants, without the cruelty of tyrants; It's not a faint king, there is no faint king's muddy nightmares. But he has the insight of a wise king, and the thoughts of the courtiers cannot be hidden at all; He is also a tyrant, and once he has made up his mind, he does not listen to persuasion at all; He was also a faint king, knowing that some courtiers had committed taboos, and he didn't bother to deal with them, so he didn't seem to see it.

This emperor is contradictory and powerful, and many unreasonable things are extremely reasonable in him.

However, one thing is certain.

Because of the existence of this emperor, the Great Song Dynasty, which was originally stormy, got a respite and a chance to rule the river. Even if the Northern Expedition failed, it was at most a failure to recover the old land, and the Song Dynasty was still in an invincible position, which could last for countless years.

"Princess, to be aligned or not to be aligned?" Q&A with the Goryeo envoys.

"There are so many uncertainties about this emperor!" Princess Goryeo said, "I, Goryeo, must prepare for the worst, and once the situation is unfavorable, I will resist the invasion of the Song Dynasty." However, the invasion of the Song Dynasty is not to be feared, and the Song army will retreat if it is not conquered for a long time. It's just that that's the worst-case scenario! ”

In this world, no one wants to offend the Song Dynasty. (To be continued......)
