Chapter 933: Fight or not

Thinking that it was not easy to convince others when he went back, Chen Zhizhong closed his eyes and thought about what he should do and how to say it.

Just when Chen Zhizhong was still thinking of using his own strength to persuade the old men in the court to initiate peace talks with the Dragon Empire, just outside the western border, the former Western Xia Kingdom Weizhou, also known as Weizhou, Su Shi was convening his important ministers and generals to hold an expanded meeting.

The Liao State was destroyed, the grasslands were flattened, and now even the Western Xia has been severely damaged by the main force, and only some small groups of enemies are still resisting, but it seems that they will not be able to hold out for long. At this time, Su Shi called everyone and talked about who the target of the next battle was.

In the huge conference room, there were already a lot of people seated, especially in the army, the three division commanders of the dragoons, Feng Yidao, Hu Tongtian and Hu Yunfeng, were impressively listed.

Officers from various units of the First People's Army also came, and the commanders of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth People's Armies also took the time to attend the meeting from all fronts.

Long Xingyun, the commander of the artillery corps, also sat here with the chief officers of the artillery departments.

In terms of the army, except for the People's Second Army in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and the Third Army in the Liao State where the counterinsurgency was almost over, as well as the Dragon Empire Navy, basically everyone who could come came.

On the long table in the conference room, there were all kinds of sweets, peanuts, melon seeds, and drinks, and the generals sat here eating and drinking, chatting about the various situations during the war, needless to say, they were all boasting about how powerful their army was and how many military achievements they had made.

Just when everyone was talking and laughing, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Mr. Fu, Mr. Zhang has arrived."

As everyone knows, it is Minister of Foreign Affairs Zhang Ao. But who is Chief Fu? Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

But then everyone thought of a person's name, first glanced at each other, and then there was a sense of shock in their eyes, could it be that he also came.

Yes, Fubi is here.

Let's take a look at this enlarged high-level meeting.

For a long time, Fu Bi was in charge of local government affairs, especially at the beginning, which was almost equivalent to serving as the prime minister. Even during the period when civil officials were short, he also served as a prefect.

Later, there were more and more talents, and Fu Bi was a little easier. But the Wenchen, who is in charge of all the ministers, also keeps him so busy that he doesn't even have time to sleep.

This was the case when they captured Goryeo, and then they sent troops to Liao, and as the army marched in great strides, almost every few days, important cities would be occupied by them, and they would be captured, and Fubi would be even busier.

He had to dispatch profitable officials in a timely manner to appease the people, but also to worry about the people's livelihood, to consider the construction of cities, the construction of roads, and when necessary, to ensure the logistics of the army.

Fortunately, the Dragon Empire is very rich, so rich that it never has to worry about money and materials, otherwise, it will conquer so many territories in a short period of time, just to fill people's stomachs, I am afraid that it will not be able to do well at all, and it will be a big problem.

With Su Shi's full support, Fubi is still doing very well, and has also been unanimously praised by everyone. He is also very respectful to the generals in the army. It's just that such a figure, shouldn't there be a place to build in the rear? How did he come here?

With curious eyes, everyone collectively looked at Fu Bi, watching him and Zhang Ao sit on the seat with a smile and a smile, and then Fu Bi didn't look at the other generals, obviously not going to say anything.

Fu Bi's arrival also made the generals' expressions become much more serious, and they just had a hunch that today's meeting would not be too simple.

The conference room was noticeably quieter than it had been before, and it didn't take long for another voice to come from outside, "The Emperor has arrived."

"Huh". All the participants, at this moment, no one needs to be reminded, stand up in unison and stand up straight.

Su Shi came, not wearing the emperor's yellow robe, but dressed in a very casual brocade robe. Surrounded by Lou Yang and Bai Xing, Su Shi walked into the conference room.

Bursts of applause

Suddenly, it came out to welcome the great emperor of their Dragon Empire.

Su Shi also smiled and clapped his hands, and looked at the people one by one with a very casual gaze, and after basically scanning the circle, he stretched out his right hand and made a reassuring motion. Then the applause gradually stopped, and Su Shi himself sat down in the first place.

"Okay, they're not outsiders, let's sit down." After taking a seat, Su Shi began to greet everyone.

Everyone also sat down one by one in laughter, and then all eyes quickly converged on Su Shi's body.

Su Shi just smiled and didn't speak, but looked at Fu Bi, who came from the rear to attend the meeting, and said, "Chief Fu, you can report the good news to everyone."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fu Bi agreed with a smile, then got up, his eyes slowly swept over everyone's body, and then the corners of his mouth curled, and he said happily, "Here, I will give you a good news, Your Majesty has a queen." Just a while ago, the queen mother gave birth to a prince, who was very healthy, weighing seven pounds. Concubine Hui and Concubine Xi also gave birth to two healthy princesses."

"Wow!"

The crowd who heard the news all stood up at this moment, followed by enthusiastic applause.

Their emperor has a queen, which represents the continuation of the Dragon Empire, and everyone is happy at this moment....

Su Shizao was in the first place, and his face was full of smiles. He is a child all at once, how can he be unhappy?

This time the applause lasted for a long time before stopping, and after Fu Bi slowly sat down, Su Shi finally spoke: "I am very happy to have a son and daughter, and it should be amnesty to the world, so that the peasants will be exempt from tax for one year, and the whole world will celebrate together. There are also those who have behaved well and have served more than two years in prison for first-class crimes can be promoted to good citizens, and second-class crimes can be promoted to first-class, which also gives those people a way of life and hope."

"Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty." Everyone stood up again, and all of them had sincere smiles on their faces.

After waiting for a while, after everyone sat down again, Su Shi's face became much calmer and said, "Under the courage of our Dragon Army soldiers to kill the enemy and not be afraid of sacrifice, the current Western Xia has become Western Xia Province and is owned by our Dragon Empire. But at the same time, a new question has also arisen in front of everyone, that is, what are we going to continue to attack next? Rest where you are, or simply disperse your forces and hold on to the fruits of our victory, if you have any opinions, you can discuss them."

That is the theme of today's meeting. Everyone is so busy, it is impossible for Su Shi to just say that he has a prince and a princess, and then he has to gather everyone together.

Su Shi asked a question, the generals, you look at me, I look at you, and no one spoke immediately for a while.

Speaking of which, the current people who can become the generals who can lead the army are all Han people, and even most of them are Han people who once lived in the land of Zhao and Song.

They are full of feelings for the land of Zhao and Song in their bones, and they can show their fierce side in the face of foreign races, and they can even kill people without blinking. But in the face of their Han comrades, they couldn't do it.

It was precisely when everyone heard the meaning of the subtext in Su Shi's words and knew that they might have to face the land of the Han people next, so everyone became unsure of what to say.

It is impossible not to fight.

It has already been fought to this extent, if everyone is asked to put Nanshan and put their swords and guns into storage, I am afraid that all the generals will not agree.

It has only been a few years since the establishment of the Dragon Empire, and all the generals are still very young, and some are even in their twenties and less than thirty years old, which is a good time for men to make achievements. Let them abandon their weapons and return to the field now, I'm afraid no one can figure it out.

It is necessary to fight, but the next fight can only be the land of Zhao and Song, the land of the Han people, and everyone becomes hesitant.

No one spoke, and Su Shi was not in a hurry, but picked up the tea in front of him and drank it slowly.

Regarding such a result, Su Shi had expected it, which was why he held this meeting.

Su Shi knew very well in his heart that everyone was Han

, let them fight other foreign races, these people will not be ambiguous, especially like Liao and Western Xia, these ethnic groups who have repeatedly troubled their Han people, and there is no psychological burden at all when they fight them.

But now, if they go to war with the Han Chinese, they will inevitably have ideas and even burdens psychologically. In this meeting, Su Shi wanted to persuade everyone that they could be more decisive when they started the next battle, instead of being soft and hurting themselves again.

Doing such psychological work is never in a hurry. At least we have to wait until everyone has finished what they think in their hearts, and what should be vented is also vented, before they can be dissuaded, otherwise, even if it is barely explained, but the actual psychological problems are not solved, there may still be accidents in the future.

Su Shi is not in a hurry, the other generals are you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to say.

The only two Wenchen, Fu Bi and Zhang Ao, also have the intention of looking at the nose and the nose and the heart, and they don't mean to speak now.

The two of them also have some contradictions in their hearts.

How can you say that you are also from Han nationality, it is impossible to say that you don't fight, but if you fight, it is Han people fighting Han people, and this result is not what they want to see.

In the original Goryeo Province, how difficult it was for the people there to join the Han nationality was that they had to go through layers of strict assessments before they had a certain chance of succeeding in becoming a Han nationality. It is no exaggeration to say that in Goryeo Province, there is a Han identity, which is a very noble existence, and the personality is not only respected, but also has a lot of benefits when engaged in other industries.
