It didn't take long for Wu Yingying, who was dressed in military uniform, to meet Cai Yu in person, and he remembered that many generals in history were a little forgetful after making great contributions, and as a result, he attracted the jealousy of the monarch, so he leaned over and said: "The Shenwei army is the Marquis of Yu, and the commander of Jinfan, and the Jinling beacon makes Wu Yingying knock on Your Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty for the crime of hurrying here and not changing the uniform in time." ”

Cai Yu raised his hand with a smile and said, "General Wu, please get up, you are diligent in the king's affairs, what a crime." Saying that, he said to Wu Qiao and Xu Xian beside him: "Wang Changling said, 'But let the dragon city fly general, and don't teach Hu Ma to do Yin Mountain.'" 'There is a brave general like General Wu, and the Northern Dynasty wants to cross the river to bully Jiangnan, and it is not a thought to think about it, hahaha. After saying that, he laughed proudly.

Xu Xian also took the opportunity to say: "What Your Majesty said is very true, but in the opinion of the old minister, there are many people in the Northern Dynasties, and the soldiers are strong and strong. ”

Cai Yu was about to agree, but Wu Qiao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must not, seeing that the back road of the Northern Army is cut off, just when I am depressed, if I take the initiative to seek peace, it is tantamount to showing weakness and the enemy." ”

The two prime ministers disagreed, which made Cai Yu hesitate, so he asked Wu Yingying: "The words of the two prime ministers are reasonable, Wu Qing, do you have any views on seeking peace by war?"

Wu Yingying saw that the eyes of the three people on the other side were staring at him, and Cai Yu's eyes were also very urgent, and it could be seen that Cai Yu wanted to end this war as soon as possible, even if it was to pay tribute to the Song State again. So Wu Yingying said in a deep voice: "God has the virtue of a good life, Your Majesty is merciful, and I don't want the people of Jiangnan to suffer from this, so I have the idea of seeking peace by war, but in the opinion of the ministers, it may not be a good time to seek peace at this time." ”

"General Wu, how do you say this?" Xu Xian saw that Wu Yingying did not directly deny the peace, his face widened slightly, and he immediately asked Wu Yingying what he meant behind his words.

Wu Yingying continued without humility or arrogance: "Your Majesty, there is a saying in the minister's hometown, called 'only who can fight can speak peace', although our army burned the Song army's pontoon bridge across the river this time, but the main force of the Song army's eastern, central and western armies was not damaged, and it was not a major setback. Besides, the northern army has always thought that the southerners are weak, if my guess is right, this time the generals of the Song army will inevitably scold our army for winning by cunning, and I still think that our army is quite inferior to the northern army. Under such circumstances, if our side sued for peace, the Song army would definitely not seriously consider it, but would intensify the siege of the city in order to force our court to surrender. ”

"Well, Wu Qing guessed the Song people's thoughts very thoroughly, and this statement is reasonable. Cai Yu nodded thoughtfully.

"Then with General Wu's words, when is the best opportunity to negotiate peace?" Xu Xian didn't expect Wu Yingying to say such a thing, and then asked.

Wu Yingying smiled slightly, looked at the fire that had not been extinguished in the distance, and said: "If one of the three major armies of the Northern Dynasty is severely attacked or even defeated by our army, the Song people will be able to understand the determination of the military and people in Jiangnan to resist, and at that time, they will be willing to sit down and seriously negotiate the terms of peace with us." ”

"Defeat the entire army of the Song people?" Cai Yu and Xu Xian both looked at Wu Yingying with some incredulity, you know, this means that the southern army has to defeat the powerful northern army in a general battle of more than 100,000 people, which is an extremely rare thing in history.

"Is General Wu too despised the Northern Army because he has just won a big victory, if our army can defeat the entire Northern Army in one fell swoop, why was they attacked under Jinling City, do you have a plan in your chest?" Xu Xian looked at Wu Yingying with some disbelief, Cai Yu also nodded with his question, and looked at Wu Yingxing.

"The art of war is nothing but strange and correct, and the use of it is nothing more than mistaking the enemy from many sides. After the contact battle with the Song army a few days ago, Wu Yingying already suspected that someone in the DPRK and China had revealed his intention to attack and destroy the pontoon bridge to the Song army as a step forward, and he was no longer willing to reveal his battle plan, just casually playing haha.

Xu Xian looked at Wu Yingying, trying to see from his face whether Wu Yingying was confident or unashamed, but he didn't see anything.

Seeing that Wu Yingying was so confident in defeating the army of the Song Kingdom, Cai Yu laughed and said, "General Wu's heroic words are really gratifying. Stretched out his hand to take a glass of imperial wine, and said to Wu Yingying: "Come, my four monarchs and ministers drink this cup, and I hope that the Song army will return to Jiangbei as soon as possible, and the people in Jiangnan will be peaceful as soon as possible." ”

Wu Yingying smiled and drank, and Cai Yu immediately gave him to sit down and enjoy the music and dance in the palace together.

Although Wu Yingying often watched the imperial music and dance in the past, it was all on occasions such as the court hall, the scene was grand and there were many people, more like a group exercise in a large-scale ceremony than a dance, but this time the 100-foot upstairs had a unique style. Less solemn of Da Lu Hongzhong, but more of the jumping off of the Gong Hou, the number of dancing girls in the field is not much, but all of them are graceful, and their dancing skills are superb, one of them is especially good at Hu Xuan Dance, she stands on a two-foot-high hollow wooden ball, spinning and spinning, exciting, Rao is Xu Xian and Wu Qiao and other high-ranking ministers are also intent. The people next to her were thrilling, but she never fell, and she also made all kinds of graceful and moving dances.

Cai Yu slapped the table with the music while watching, and at the end of the song, he smiled and said to Wu Yingying: "Bai Lotian Shiyun' strings and drums are raised with both sleeves; It's about this Hu Xuan Dance, this dancer is all on a pair of toes, you don't see her relaxed and happy at this time, in order to practice this dance skills, I don't know how much hardship she has suffered, no less than the bearded eyebrow man's martial arts. It's a pity that the lady is no longer in the palace, she can dance on a golden lotus on tiptoe, when it is really light, like a fairy coming, fluttering like a frightening Hong, graceful like a swimming dragon, Rong Yao Qiu Ju, Huamao Spring Pine, if the light clouds cover the moon, like a flowing neck show, Hao quality is dewed, the fragrance is not added, and the lead Huafu Yu. As he spoke, his face showed a look of fascination.

When Cai Yu said that the dancing girl was no less hard than a man, Wu Qiao and Xu Xian's faces were already a little unbearable, and it was more important to say that the soldiers and doctors were juxtaposed, and they were suspected of despising the ministers. Wu Yingying smiled and nodded, thinking that Empress Cai is really an artist's confidant, pointe dance is the same as modern ballet, it is just a form of dance, but later generations insist on planting the matter of foot binding on this Empress Cai, but it seems that he is a debaucherous and unscrupulous king who destroys women, but fortunately, most people still understand things very well, otherwise there would not be so many ladies crying and shouting that they want to cross over to be a concubine or something.

After singing and dancing, Xu Xian and the three of them said goodbye and retired, and Wu Yingying followed behind the two important ministers, and could only smile and wink at Huang Wen from afar.

On the way back, Wu Qiao invited Wu Yingying to go with him in the car, and asked with a serious face: "General Wu claimed in front of His Majesty today that he would defeat the Song army all the way, but he is really sure. Your Majesty's trust in your favor has not come easily, and you must not let him down. ”

For this loyal minister who committed suicide and martyrdom in history, Wu Yingying is trusted and respected, he looked at Shen and said: "Wu Xiang rest assured, the victory and defeat of the soldiers, nothing more than my monopoly and the enemy, many parties to mistake, although the northern army is numerous, although the soldiers are strong, but it is divided into three roads, its momentum has been divided, as long as our army concentrates on the elite, with a thunderous momentum to attack all the way, the chance of victory is still relatively large." ”

Wu Qiao heard that he was reasonable, nodded and said, "It's good if you are sure, then you are going to fight the enemy army all the way?"

Wu Yingying smiled slightly: "Of course, it is the weakest way." ”
