"Han Guo, are they really so bold?"

"Why did they destroy so many sects in my Great Song Dynasty, and you can't kill them?" Zhao Ji said with suppressed anger, his eyes scanning the court.

"Back to the emperor, it's not that the ministers didn't deal with it, but as soon as our army arrived, they ran away, and they didn't come and go without a trace. A Song Chen said loudly.

"I don't want to listen to excuses, this is the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, everything is under my control, why would a few Han warriors be so dark?" Zhao Ji was still angry.

It's really that this time Dugu and they went too far to stir up the wind and rain in the Song Kingdom, which made Zhao Ji unbearable.

More than a dozen first-class sects, dozens of first-class sects, a total of tens of thousands of warriors were slaughtered, and this kind of loss was like the Song State directly losing tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which made Zhao Ji not angry.

"Newspaper. ”

"Emperor Qi, just from many coastal cities and counties, many merchant ships, salt ships have been destroyed, it seems that the Han people did it. ”

At this moment, another herald arrived, knelt on the court, and prayed in fear.

"Damn. ”

How dare they do that. Zhao Ji stood up suddenly, extremely angry.

If Dugu and they attacked the martial arts sect of the Song Kingdom, it may only be a blow to the strength of the Song Kingdom, but if they attack the merchant ships and salt ships, it will affect the livelihood of the entire Song Kingdom, and if the people's livelihood is not strong, the national strength will be lost.

"Your Majesty, what should we do in this situation?"

"Hey, the Han Kingdom has sent too many martial artists with advanced martial arts into my Great Song Dynasty, and it is not at all something that the Great Song Dynasty can compete with. ”

All the courtiers of the Song Kingdom were sad and helpless.

If it is a head-to-head confrontation, maybe the Song State will still be able to fight hard, but in this confrontation under the dark side, they are not opponents at all, although they have subdued many martial arts sects during this time, but although they are surrendered, they cannot be completely dedicated.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. ”

"The minister has arranged for all the martial arts sects in the rivers and lakes to gather in Shaolin, and the entire rivers and lakes are gathered together, and if the Han State sends people to attack again, there will be no return. Sima Guang sneered and stood up to pray.

"Sima Aiqing did a good job in this matter. Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction, feeling a little comforted.

"Returning to the emperor, the minister also ordered people to garrison more troops along the coast to prevent cholera merchant ships from the Han Kingdom. Cai Jing was not to be outdone, and also stepped forward to pray.

"Not bad. ”

"The two Aiqing have done a good job, enough to stop the Han State from cholera again. Zhao Ji's frowning brows also stretched a little.

This time, the Song State suffered two surprise attacks from the Han Dynasty.

Don't think about it.

The coastal merchant ships of the Song Kingdom were destroyed, but it was not done by Dugu and them, but from the actions of the boundless, the thirty-six palaces under the Vulture Palace, and the people and horses of the seventy-two caves also caused a lot of blows to the Song Kingdom.

"It's been almost a month, why hasn't Tong Guan captured Qinzhou City? If this continues, Tubo will be destroyed by the Han State sooner or later. ”

Zhao Ji didn't care too much about the chaos in the country, but his voice changed and talked about Qinzhou City.

It has been almost a month since the troops were dispatched that day, and Zhao Ji waited hard, but he did not hear the good news from the battlefield.

"Please rest assured, General Tong Guan has sent a message to his ministers a few days ago, and within five days at most, the city of Qinzhou will be broken, and under the deterrence of his 300,000-strong army, presumably the Han State will also be restrained, and he will not dare to attack Tubo with all his might. Sima Guang stood up and said confidently.

But as soon as his voice fell.

The moment of slapping in the face came.

"Newspaper. ”

"The Great Khan of Tibet surrendered to his imperial capital, and his borders were already controlled by the Han State. ”

Then.

An eight-hundred-mile hurried herald ran into the main hall and said in a hurry.

"What?"

"Tibet has been wiped out?"

Hear this.

Zhao Ji, who was still a little brow-stretched, suddenly changed his face and stood up from the dragon chair again.

"How is this possible?"

Sima Guang's expression changed greatly, and his original self-confidence was gone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how is this good? The Han Kingdom has already destroyed Tubo and Western Xia, and the next step is definitely to attack my Great Song Dynasty?" Zhao Ji said with a panicked expression.

"The covenant has been torn up, and my Great Song Dynasty took the initiative to attack the Han Kingdom, and the Han Kingdom attacked my Great Song Dynasty in the other day, and it is also famous. ”

"That's not good."

Hearing that the Han Dynasty had destroyed Tibet, the courtiers of the entire Song Dynasty were in an uproar.

"It's you who insisted on persuading the emperor to attack the Song State and tear up the covenant, now that Tubo and Western Xia have been controlled by the Han State, and his national strength has risen greatly, how should my Great Song end up now?" Cai Jing looked at Sima Guangdao with an angry face.

"If I had known that Tubo would die so soon, how could I have advised in the past?" said Sima Guang in a somewhat weak voice.

"This time, if the Han Kingdom attacks my Great Song Dynasty, all the responsibility will be caused by you Sima Guang. Cai Jing said coldly, with such an opportunity to suppress, he naturally would not let it go.

"The wood is done, the covenant is broken, and nothing is done. Sima Guangdao.

Seeing the two important ministers arguing, Zhao Ji was also a little angry: "Enough." ”

The emperor was angry. ”

The ministers hurriedly said.

"Now, what can Zhong Aiqing do to redeem it?" Zhao Ji asked expectantly looking at his courtiers.

"Enlightening the emperor, there are only two ways to plan for the future. Cai Jing thought for a while and said.

Cai Aiqing said quickly. Zhao Ji couldn't wait.

"First, immediately recall the soldiers and horses of Qinzhou City, return to the border pass of the Great Song Dynasty, no longer be the enemy of the Han Dynasty, and hand over the first evil, and give an explanation to the Han State, so as to calm the anger of the Han State. Cai Jing said, his eyes looked at Sima Guang intentionally or unintentionally.

Apparently.

The first evil in his mouth is Sima Guang.

Hear this.

Sima Guang's face changed, and he looked at Cai Jing full of anger.

"What about the second one?" Zhao Ji asked with a frown.

"Second, it is still the army that withdrew to Qinzhou City, returned to the border pass for defense, and mobilized troops and horses in various parts of our Great Song Dynasty to prepare to meet the Han State and fight to the death with the Han State. Cai Jing said.

All in all.

The meaning of Cai Jing's words is the situation facing the Song Kingdom today, there are only two choices, either war or defense, of course, there is another choice Zhao Ji will not choose no matter what, that is, surrender.

"Please Emperor Mingjian, the ambition of the Han State is obvious, even if I don't accept the compensation for the land cession of the Great Song Dynasty, and even if they accept it, they will definitely wave the army to attack again in time, so the minister thinks that my Great Song Dynasty needs to raise troops to fight and fight with the Han State, with my Great Song National Strength, I can definitely resist the Han State without defeat. Sima Guang was anxious and said loudly.

"Quickly recall the army of Qinzhou City, stay at the border, and send an order to the defenders everywhere, and immediately go to the border. ”

After thinking for a while, Zhao Ji made an order.
