"It's no use arguing about these things!" Someone finally came out and said something fair. When Prime Minister Li Hao turned his head to look, it turned out that it was General Han Baozheng.

Li Hao wanted to do it with a nasty stomach, but the deputy envoy Wang Zhaoyuan always caught Li Hao’s personal taint and attacked him, making Li Hao feel very difficult... Moreover, when the former Shu died, he repaired his watch and his family was rich in wealth. , These are facts, not easy to refute. Just when someone came out to round the field, Li Hao went down the steps and swallowed his anger into his stomach abruptly.

He took the opportunity to move away from his personal issues and said: "Your Majesty's meeting today should start from the big picture and discuss three major issues first. First, what attitude should be used to respond to the envoys of the Zhou Dynasty. Second, recognize the strengths and weaknesses of Shu and Zhou; only with the decisions of the first two can we use this as a basis for the deployment of offensive and defensive strategies. This is the third..."

The words are not over yet, Wang Zhaoyuan, the clever-toothed "Wolong", said: "What else is there to discuss about this? Your Majesty will not respond to the Zhou Dynasty with the attitude of Emperor Dashu. Are you going to persuade your Majesty to give up the honorary title for the Zhou Dynasty? , To be a minister to the Central Plains? I said Prime Minister Li is very good at repairing the table."

The tortoise son, it's up to the lowering table again, Li Hao's full black line. Li Hao said angrily: "Wang Zhaoyuan, you don't advise your Majesty to deal with it wisely. If Dashu falls in the future, none of us will get a good one! Don't think about the Dashu court, wait until your family is ruined and your wealth is gone, will you be comfortable?"

"My house is not full of gold and silver silks and satin like Prime Minister Li." Wang Zhaoyuan sneered.

Li Hao said annoyed: "The temple is a national event. You don't have to hold on to such a small section, but the big event is to say something ugly!"

Wang Zhaoyuan looked calm, and bowed to the north: "How can your majesty give up your honor? The minister does not approve it!"

The emperor Meng Chang, who had not spoken for a long time, nodded immediately when he heard the title question, admiring Wang Zhaoyuan's attitude very much.

Wang Zhaoyuan continued: "At the moment, we only need to resist the enemy with strict troops, but secretly send envoys to contact the Northern Han and Southern Tang countries to take advantage of the Zhou dynasty to attack Shu and attack the Zhou dynasty!"

Li Hao said coldly: "The Southern Tang Dynasty had no fighting spirit for a long time, let alone; if the Northern Han Dynasty would send troops, when Li Zhongjin and Li Jixun raised their troops, where was the Northern Han Army? The Zhou army's civil war hit Hedong. The Northern Han Dynasty is still standing still; now he wants to help Shu Kingdom thousands of miles away? It’s really a laugh!"

Wang Zhaoyuan said: "Li Chongjin can't wait for the anti-thief, how can Dashu be compared with the local rebel generals who raised troops? My Dashu is surrounded by Hanzhong, Bashan, and Jianmen, and Wushan to the east. It is surrounded by mountains and mountains. , Advance can attack, retreat and defend. The situation is unfavorable today, so we will defend layer by layer; the Central Plains are turbulent, so we will take advantage of the turbulence of the Central Plains to leave the Sichuan and settle the Central Plains, and your Majesty will reign in the north!"

Meng Chang heard what Wang Zhaoyuan said well, and immediately asked: "Deputy Wang thought that the Shu army could defend against Zhou's attack?"

Li Hao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Shushan is in danger again, (later) Tang Zeng broke it, otherwise, where is your Majesty's foundation? If you don't cultivate military equipment, you can't defend it even though it is dangerous."

"Have your majesty asked you?" Wang Zhaoyuan looked at Li Hao coldly. Seeing Li Hao shook his head and sighed, but did not dare to refute, Wang Zhaoyuan ignored it, and said to the north: "Your Majesty shouldn't be worried about whether it can be defended or not, but should worry about when the Ding Zhongyuan can be settled!"

"Oh?" Meng Chang moved his fat body and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Wang Zhaoyuan said: "Xingzhou will guard for a month or two, Hanzhong will guard for half a year; the mountains and rivers to the north are dangerous, and Zhou Jun will not be able to break it. Lizhou guards for a year and a half, Jianzhou guards for another year and a half... Shu is going to the year of the monkey, can they afford to fight for so long?

Your Majesty will think again, (later) Tang Liguo a few years, (later) Jin a few years, (later) Han a few years, Zhou Dynasty has been a few years now, in another year or two, whether the Zhou Dynasty will exist is still not Know. They will not attack the Kingdom of Shu for too long, nor do they have so much patience. "

Meng Chang nodded frequently: "The words are reasonable, the words are reasonable!"

Wang Zhaoyuan said: "Therefore, your majesty does not have to lay down his noble body and sigh with the Zhou Dynasty. He wants to fight, and we are accompanied! In the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor is a child, the woman is in charge of the country, and the ruler is weak and the minister is strong. Not far away; in the days when'Guo Rong' reigned in Wenzhi and Wugong was aggressive, his Majesty was not afraid, but now he is afraid that a child will not succeed!"

Meng Chang suddenly hummed: "I have established the country for forty years in Dashu, and the country is peaceful. The north has gone through the Tang, Jin, Han, and Thursday dynasties! The Zhou dynasty is not a grass bandit, but so."

Everyone heard the emperor's words and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Even Li Hao is unwilling to disobey the emperor anymore. Li Hao bowed and bowed, while thinking: Although Wang Zhaoyuan is a "hammer" (in dialect meaning a certain male organ), it is very unpleasant, but he can figure it out. Today, he caught the emperor’s desire The mind of becoming a minister. That's why I was defeated when I argued against him.

Li Hao thought about Han Baozheng's stepping down for himself before, and immediately said: "The minister recommended that the Xuanhui Beiyuan envoy Han Baozheng to deploy for the former battalion capital, and rushed to Hanzhong to resist the enemy to protect Hanzhong."

Meng Chang immediately said: "Quan playing."

Li Hao turned his head again and said, "Xingzhou defense envoy Hou Mao has merits in rejecting Zhou's army. He must have talent. After General Han arrives in Hanzhong, he can reuse this person... The old man really confiscated his money, even no one saw him. Over!"

Han Baozheng said: "I would like to listen to the words of Prime Minister Li. Prime Minister Li is at ease. When Shizong Zhou was still in power, the Zhou army was very strong, but the troubled times of the Central Plains were also turbulent now and then; now orphans and widows of Zhou Dynasty, I can’t help but look down on our Shu army too much. If I am ordered to lead the army to the north, I will see how they can do it for a while."

So Meng Chang ordered to amend the letter of the country to answer the Zhou Dynasty edict, still claiming to be the "Emperor of Shu". He defended himself by saying that Shu was not provocative, and accused the Zhou Dynasty of deceiving people too much, and the whole country was angry. In the words, there is quite ironic teasing of Zhou Dynasty monarchs and ministers like bursting wealth, villains once succeeded.

……

When the credential arrived in Tokyo, it was more than half a month later. It is the end of the winter moon (November), and the twelfth lunar month is about to enter. Tokyo is already snowing, and the world is flying like goose feathers. The palaces and houses of the entire metropolis are shrouded in a snow-white snow. It's very different.

This time not only Fu Jinzhan was angry, but also the civil and military people of the Manchu dynasty were very dissatisfied; but it has been more than a month since the army has been used in the Gongbu, and even Qingniling has not broken through. The Zhou Dynasty monarchs who have always believed in the use of force have nothing to say. Say.

Fu Jinzhan summoned the important military officials to discuss the matter. Wang Pu was the first to question the feasibility of this battle. He said: "Originally planned to take Hanzhong as a frontier camp, but Xiang Gong failed to quickly break through the Shu defense line, and the original strategy of delaying it would not work; the Shu National Assembly made every effort to reinforce the north. Reinforce the defense. The more the Shu army in Hanzhong, the insufficient strength towards the arch... The old minister thought that he could abandon the campaign first; after the warm weather in the coming year, another army will be sent to attack from the east road to disperse the forces of the Shu army before entering the plan. "

Fu Jinzhan's voice behind the curtain asked: "What do Prime Minister Wang and General Guo think?"

Because Xiang Gong was recommended by Wang Pu, Wang Pu was also a little embarrassed at this time and turned to look at Guo Shao. Guo Shao was also a little depressed, and he pondered for a moment and said: "What Wang Shijun said is not unreasonable. Now seeing the twelfth lunar month, the sky is freezing, and the soldiers are in a difficult situation in the Shu Kingdom. You can indeed consider a truce for the time being and retreat the army first. Go to Guzhen, Fengzhou and other places to spend the winter. But...

Xiang Gong is in the front, knowing all kinds of situations on the spot, and the court should not give orders casually from two thousand miles away. The minister thought he could send someone to console the soldiers in front and give Xiang Gong a certain degree of autonomy. If he thinks he has a chance to take Qingniling and advance to Xingzhou, he can continue to use troops; otherwise, according to the opinion of the princely envoy, he will withdraw his troops first, and send another army from the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River next year to contain the Shu army. "

Wang Pu was able to accept it even after listening, and nodded: "General Guo is reasonable, and he should ask the generals ahead."

Guo Shaodao: "No matter what Xiang Gong plans, you can ask him to report in detail the local geography, army deployment, etc., so that we can analyze and evaluate the military and political status of the Shu army."

Fu Jinzhan said: "According to what you said, send a quick horse to Guzhen to deliver the decree."

Everyone takes orders. The **** Yang Shiliang said: "If something happens, let's retire." A few people bowed together and said: "The ministers will retire."

Guo Shao struggled to the end and did not leave the palace. After the ministers all left, then followed the **** to the study room inside and met with Fu Jinzhan alone. As usual, although they met, there were attendants and they were not alone.

Fu Jinzhan whispered: "The Lord Shu made me face scandal many times. There are so few people in this world who can protect me. Xiang Gong called me a little disappointed."

Guo Shao kindly persuades: "The Lord of Shu will be upset for a while, and eventually will suffer disaster first. Don’t worry about the Queen Mother, the war to unify the Kingdom of Shu has just begun, and sometimes things will not go smoothly. Next year, we must let the Queen Mother. Regain dignity!

However, I don’t think it should be entirely blamed for the lack of strength. Although the Northwest town soldiers he led are quite effective, they are still far from the Forbidden Army’s equipment and the quality of the soldiers; besides, a small detail on the battlefield will affect the result. . Maybe Xiang Gong happened to meet a talented person from the Shu State...The terrain over there is difficult and dangerous, and as long as it is properly deployed, it is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Shu could not survive the Jin, Han, and Zhou for decades. "

Fu Jinzhan said softly after hearing this: "You are right, we seem to be too anxious to get it done. If we prepare more, we will use troops to attack Shu next year, and we won't even be able to win Hanzhong. In the end, I will do it. You are not to blame for the decision."

Guo Shao hurriedly said: "The military queen dowager always listens to my suggestions. The main responsibility for this matter lies with me... I was really impatient at the time. I thought that if we can't continue to open up territory and build merits, the prestige will be slow. Slow decline is not the answer in the long run."

After he said it, his tone became firm: "Successful of the Kingdom of Shu within next year! When the deployment is ready, the minister asks the order to lead the Imperial Army to attack Shu."
