Chapter 379: Understand

Zhao Xu listened leisurely and yearningly, the light flashed in his eyes, obviously thinking of the situation at that time. As an emperor, his greatest wish is to expand his territory, and this kind of dedication is much stronger than his desire to protect the territory and the people. But Zhao Xu quickly thought of his body, although he was very tolerant, he gradually realized that he could no longer support it. He gradually felt that his lifespan was limited, and in this short period of time, it was completely impossible to achieve the goal that Ouyang Shu had said. His eyes gradually turned gloomy.

Ouyang Shu also guessed Zhao Xu's thoughts, so he lowered his head and said no more.

After a while, Zhao Xu finally saw a little: although I can't do this, if my son is King Wu, I am King Wen, so what's the regret?

Immediately, Zhao Xu put his mind back to the specific issue, he thought about it, and said: This matter is easy to say, but it is difficult to do. The point is, if we persuade him to oppose Liao, no matter who we are, we will inevitably expose ourselves, and if we make a war with Liao for this, I'm afraid it's not worth it, and besides, it is difficult for my Great Song Dynasty to win.

Ouyang Shu smiled: The minister has a goal, and he should have a good chance of success?

Zhao Xu said: Tell me about it!

Ouyang Shu said slowly, word by word: Jurchen!

Jurchen?Zhao Xu repeated the name. He didn't know that in history, more than ten years later, the name of this nation would become the most terrifying word, whether it was the Song people, the Liao people or the Western Xia people, they all trembled when they heard the Jurchens.

Today's Jurchens don't look like they're going to be very powerful. Jurchen is divided into raw Jurchen and mature Jurchen, mature Jurchen has completely become a subject of the Liao State, and the way of life and so on are no different from the Liao people, needless to say. Although the Shengnuzhen is a large tribe in the north of the Liao State, there is no unified order, and compared to the Khitans, it is still too few, to what extent can it shake the Liao court, at least Zhao Xu will not have great confidence.

Although the Jurchens are the big clans of the Liao Kingdom, if they want to shake the Liao Court, it should be unlikely! Zhao Xu said with a little hesitation.

Ouyang Shu said solemnly: The minister once heard a saying that the Jurchen is not more than 10,000, and more than 10,000 are invincible. The Jurchens, especially the holy Maidens, have always lived a life of drinking blood, and everyone is very fierce and savage, which can really be regarded as killing people without blinking. On the other hand, the Liao State has lax armaments and arrogant soldiers over the years, and it is not easy to annihilate the Jurchens in one fell swoop.

The Jurchen is not more than 10,000, but more than 10,000 are invincible! Zhao Xu muttered this sentence and said: This statement is very fresh, and it is the first time I have heard of it. But even if the Jurchens are as strong as you say, and there is no unified order within them, how can they oppose Liao?

Ouyang Shu secretly thought in his heart: When they have a unified order within themselves, it will not be as simple as opposing Liao, it is precisely to take advantage of their fledgling to force them out and lose both with Liao. Whether it is the destruction of the Liao State or the death of the Jurchens, they will pay a painful price. At that time, Da Song will be able to stand up and clean up the mess!

Your Majesty need not worry about this. Nowadays, the Jurchens naturally do not have a unified order, but once the war starts, they will inevitably unite as one, and the people who will give the unified order will naturally emerge automatically, but we don't need to bother for them here!

Zhao Xu was stunned when he heard it, but he didn't think it was angry, and said with a smile: What Aiqing said is very true, heroes always appear in that crisis. If the Jurchen people faced the scourge of extermination, their tribes would naturally unite and stand up to defend themselves against foreign enemies, and that heroic figure would naturally appear. Moreover, even if the Jurchen and the Liao State can't fight after all, it doesn't matter, but it doesn't hurt my Great Song Dynasty. Not bad, not bad!

Zhao Xu shouted for a while, and then said: It would be a good thing if you could really get the Jurchens and Khitan to fight, but how should this matter be carried out?

Ouyang Shu smiled and said: Fang Caichen is sitting here, thinking of a plan, but I don't know what His Majesty thinks!

Zhao Xu was overjoyed when he heard that Ouyang Shu had a way, and hurriedly said: Aiqing has a way, why not say that I have a way!

Ouyang Shu elaborated on the method he had just thought of.

Zhao Xu nodded when he heard this, and looked at Ouyang Shu's eyes with a little cunning: I can't imagine that Aiqing looks honest, but there is a gap in her heart, such a dirty strategy, you can think of it, you are still my Tanhualang of the Great Song Dynasty, and you are from the imperial examination!

Ouyang Shu saw that Zhao Xu was just laughing and scolding, but he was not really angry, and he was secretly relieved in his heart. He knew that Zhao Xu's level was over.

After a while, Zhao Xu shook his head again and said: Although your method is good, who will implement it? You are now the Kaifeng County Order, and it is really unreasonable to send you to receive Yelu Yanxi. I can't transfer you to the Ministry of Rites for this reason, right?

Ouyang Shu said with a smile: There is a candidate for the minister, who can take on this position!

Zhao Xu was overjoyed and said: You say!

Ouyang Shu said very seriously: Wailang, Zhou Huai!

Zhao Xu exclaimed in surprise: How can this be? Zhou Huai is the champion of today's department, how can he be willing to do this kind of thing?

Ouyang Shu smiled and said: If Your Majesty authorizes Weichen, Weichen will be sure to persuade Zhou Huai. Besides, Zhou Huai was also a courtier of my court, and he should be willing to serve the court!

Zhao Xu saw Ouyang Shu's confident appearance, so he waved his hand and said: "At this time, it is easy, I will give you full power, you can not only be responsible for persuading Zhou Huai, but also supervise Zhou Huai's actions." If Zhou Huai messes up this matter, you can impeach him, and if he does, you can also ask for credit for him, and I will consider the rewards and punishments!

Ouyang Shu was overjoyed when he got this promise, and hurriedly said: Thank you, Your Majesty!

Unconsciously, the two of them have been sitting opposite each other like this for a long time, and they can be regarded as talking very happily. It wasn't until this matter was decided that Zhao Xu said with a smile: Aiqing can go back immediately, and go straight to Zhou Huai to discuss!

Ouyang Shu said: Yes! Just about to get up and go out. But I heard Zhao Xu say again: Do you know why I want to talk to you so much today?

Ouyang Shu was also very puzzled about this matter, so he said: Please ask Your Majesty for advice!

Lu Yihao: You have some skills, but I don't know what kind of mind you have. But since you can even tolerate Lu Yihao, naturally he is also a little open-minded, and he didn't say the second half of the sentence, but anyone can hear that this means that he plans to reuse Ouyang Shu.

Ouyang Shu heard the back of his head. Actually, it's not that he doesn't want to deal with Lu Yihao, it's just that he hasn't found an excuse these days. If he had an excuse, he would have eaten Lu Yihao alive a long time ago, and there would be no bones left!
