After pausing for a while, Cai Yu nodded, and Xu Xian said again: "But even with such humiliating terms, the Song people do not agree, and ask Your Majesty to dedicate the entire country, and then personally enter Bianliang as a great Song courtier." ”

Wu Yingying saw Cai Yu's calm face, presumably Xu Xian had already reported the matter to him. Tang Guo proposed such humiliating terms, and Song Guo still did not agree, it seems that he is determined to destroy Jinling.

Seeing that all the ministers didn't speak, Cai Yu said: "Zhongqing, the Song people deceived me too much, but after the Hukou camp was destroyed, there was a huge disparity between strength and weakness. To save this crisis, I wonder what the secretary of state has?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Wu Qiao said angrily: "In the upper reaches of the river, there are many people who are expected to defect to the enemy, please Your Majesty order that all the family members left in Jinling be killed to set an example." ”

Xu Xian hurriedly said: "Absolutely not." Originally, these people were only committed to the prisoners for the sake of saving their lives or the people, but if so, they would have cut off their attachment to our court. ”

Zhang Xun also said: "Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and Your Majesty must not make such a killing." ”

Wu Qiao said hatefully: "These villains." Just as he was about to argue, Cai Yu said: "Forget it, this group of people is just saving the lives of the whole family, Wu Xiang is jealous and hateful, but he doesn't have to kill their families, and he doesn't have to break his own longevity." ”

Seeing him say this, Wu Qiao couldn't say anything more, but Xu Xian said: "Why don't we cede a few more prefectures and counties to the Northern Dynasty, or even give up Jinling and move to the Eastern Capital?" His motion was tantamount to ceding most of the country's territory to the Song State, while Cai Yu kept a small fief, which was only a little better than going to Bianliang City.

Cai Yu's face was extremely ugly after hearing this, and he said in a low voice: "The land is limited, the greed of the Northern Dynasty is endless, cut again and again, if time is always over, will the ministers have to go to sea alone?"

Tang Guosu Yourongshi Doctor, the minister proposed, even if the monarch did not agree, it was just not adopted, and it was rare to ridicule each other like Cai Yu, and it was only when he was angry and corrupt. So Zhang Xun, who was waiting to be attached, immediately held his words in his stomach. Xu Xian also knew the opportunity to stop talking.

Cai Yu felt a little out of shape, all the ministers didn't speak, and the atmosphere was quite embarrassing, so he asked Wu Yingying, who had never spoken, with a forced smile: "Wu Qing is known for his resourcefulness, but what is the best strategy?"

Wu Yingying listened to the boring discussion of these ministers, looked at the layout of Chengxin Hall by himself, and wondered if Huang Wen was in charge of this place. Seeing that several people present were looking at him strangely, Cai Yu seemed to be even more angry, and hurriedly changed his mind and explained: "The big man can bend and stretch, but the Song army cannot last, and when it retreats, I will wait to land again to clean up the rivers and mountains." He copied the deeds of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty to avoid the Jin soldiers and fled by sea ship many times, completely ignoring the difference from the current situation.

Wu Qiao and Xu Xian snorted at the same time, disdainful to argue with it, and Zhang Xun, a scholar from the Zhongshu House, said: "Wu Jiedu's words are ridiculous, once the land is lost, it will be difficult to regain it, and the Song army can rely on Jiangnan Prefecture and County to levy supplies, how can it be easy to retreat, it is difficult to live in the floating sea, and it is difficult for the soldiers, civilians, officials and gentry to recuperate, so how can they re-clean up the rivers and mountains?"

When he spoke, Wu Yingying also knew that he had mistaken the situation, it was difficult for the Jin soldiers to rule Jiangnan quickly because of ethnic and cultural differences, while it was much easier for the Song State to digest the Southern Tang Dynasty, and once Cai Yujunchen went to sea, it would be really difficult to come back. He raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, Wechen's master once showed Wechen a chart, there is still a continent in the East China Sea, which is extremely vast, rich in water and soil, and there is no human population except for a few savages. ”

"Nonsense. Listening to Wu Yingying's more and more outrageous, Xu Xian couldn't bear it anymore and reprimanded: "Wu Jiedu, in the East China Sea, in addition to the small places of Fusang and Ryukyu, there is also the saying of the three mountains of Penglai, don't you want the scholar Xu Fu to lure His Majesty to go to the sea to find immortals?"

Seeing that Cai Yu was also looking at him with an incredulous face, Wu Yingying was a little angry, and said in a deep voice: "There is no basis for what you say, Your Majesty can give your ministers banknotes, and Weichen can draw the charts in your memory to Your Majesty, it is true and true, and there is no falsehood." ”

Cai Yu thought in his heart whether Wu Yingying had been robbed of military power, and he was depressed in his heart and became crazy, so he started talking nonsense, but seeing that he was convincing and seemed to be very sober, he asked the eunuch to send him pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Wu Yingying saw that the eyes of the other four people were staring at him burningly, as if he was a mental patient, he stopped talking, and according to the memory in his heart, he lowered his head and roughly outlined the sea and land terrain of the Pacific Rim generation on the snow-white Chengxintang paper. After drawing, he pointed to the location of the Yangtze River on the map and said: "This is the big river, which flows through Jinling, where we are located, and goes out to sea here." ”

This is a place that the garrison ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty are familiar with, so they did not say anything against it, Wu Yingying continued: "Go south along the boundary line between sea and land, pass through Yuhang, Ryukyu, and Guangzhou in turn, that is, Jiaozhi, bypassing the corner of Jiaozhi, you can reach Tianzhu, these are the places where people are prosperous. ”

Some of his words were the same as those heard by Wu Qiao, Xu Xian, Zhang Xun and others, but some of them had never heard of it, so none of the three of them refuted it, and Wu Qiao also said in a low voice: "It is quite consistent with what Hu Shang said in my family. ”

Seeing that everyone would be skeptical, Wu Yingying moved his fingers, rowed across a large sea area, and pointed to a continent in the middle of the sea and said: "This land is called Oceania, although the area is vast, but unfortunately most of it is a desert and a sea, which is not suitable for our race to reproduce. ”

Everyone saw that the size of Oceania on the map was almost larger than that of the Central Plains, and they secretly regretted it in their hearts following his tone, but they saw Wu Yingying's finger continue to the east, pointing to a large piece of land and said: "This is the Americas, which is what I call a land of abundant water and soil. ”

Seeing that this part of the Americas is about four or five times the size of the Central Plains, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and said in their hearts If there is really such a borderless land with abundant water and soil in the world, then what are heroes from all walks of life still fighting in the Central Plains?

Xu Xian first woke up from the shock and questioned: "Just look at the size on the map, from the Central Plains to the Americas, the sea route is not hundreds of thousands of miles away, except for the Immortal Fit, I'm afraid no one can reach it, how do you know? Wu Yingying, do you know the crime of bullying the king?"

Wu Yingying shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "I didn't say I had been there, this is shown by a sea chart hidden by the Venerable Master, maybe it was left by the immortals." ”

Xu Xian saw that he actually bit the immortal who was chatting in nothingness, and scolded angrily: "Nonsense, it's ridiculous. ”

Cai Yu was quite interested and said: "To be able to teach a disciple like Wu Qing, the respected teacher must also be a first-class figure of immortals." There seems to be a regret that I can't meet him.

Wu Qiao said: "The sea route is so long, even if you send people to the sea to search for it now and find it back, I am afraid that Jinling has already been captured by the Song army." As soon as these words came out, they quickly extinguished everyone's attempt to float to the sea to avoid disaster even if what Wu Yingying said was true.

Wu Yingying smiled: "Definitely." Seeing that everyone looked at him strangely, Fang continued: "Although it takes a lot of time to find a new world, after finding it, it is not difficult to welcome Your Majesty. ”

The five monarchs and ministers present were all thoughtful people, and as soon as these words came out, they understood the meaning of Wu Yingying. Even if Cai Yu is sent to Bianliang for care, as the king of the dead country, he will not be guarded too strictly, because the whole world is not the king's land, and he will be arrested wherever he goes. Having said that, if Cai Yu ran to the Western Regions, Jiaozhi, and Ryukyu, although it was very likely to escape the pursuit of the Great Song Dynasty, the local savages would be a hundred times more terrifying than the Bianliang monarchs. Therefore, as long as the courtiers of the Tang State found the land on the coast of the East China Sea, they could send someone to sneak into Bianliang to take Cai Yu out and float away.

It's just that this plan is too unbelievable, and it is completely based on an ethereal sea chart drawn by Wu Yingying, and everyone is speechless. After a while, Cai Yu said: "Wu Xiang, do you think Wu Qing's proposal is feasible?"

Wu Qiao, who had a hot temper and an impatient personality in the past, didn't know how to speak for the first time, so he had to pause and say: "Wu Jiedu's strategy is imaginative, and the old minister doesn't know why." Cai Yu turned his head to look at the other two veteran ministers, and the two of them knew that Cai Yu was actually quite eager to try, but this matter was too unbelievable, and they all avoided Cai Yu's gaze.
