No shortage of walls

The ministers were very dissatisfied, but no one dared to say anything. If you hadn't supported the rebellion against Song Ru, how would we have ended up where we are today? The Song Emperor did not send the Ministry of Rites to discuss business. It is true that Qingzhou Pass is still the most important pass in the world. Even if a deal is negotiated, it will be difficult to deliver. It's just that firstly, Zhou Junxiao, the Minister of Rites, is still the head of the country; secondly, foreign enemies have entered at this time, and it is useless to talk about the past events at this time; thirdly, this statement makes sense.

It's just that at the beginning, everyone looked down on Emperor Song's son. Now for various reasons combined, no one dares to say anything.

It was really a waste of time. There were quite a few people who raised their hands and feet in favor of it.

Of course, some people think that Song Ru is the eighth best martial artist in the world and should be allowed to attack Jizhou. But looking back, if Song Ru saw that the situation was not good and surrendered to the Song Dynasty, not only did he bring the Liao army to surrender, he would also suffer a great loss.

For a second-grade military general from another country who rebelled against his homeland just because he was dissatisfied, no one would believe it all at once for the surrendered country.

If you surrender to others, what's weird about returning to your homeland?

Second-grade generals are different from ordinary soldiers; it is very ugly politically for a second-grade general to surrender to the enemy. Moreover, second-grade military generals usually lead more than 10,000 people on expeditions. If Song Ru led more than 10,000 troops and surrendered to the Song Dynasty, it would be a fatal blow to the Liao Kingdom.

A double strike of political and military strength.

Especially this festival is when the Song Dynasty invades; if Song Dynasty wants to bring its own people back to the Song Dynasty, the problem is very serious.

It not only gives a bad reputation but also reduces the number of soldiers in the country. He led an army of 20,000 to fight back. It doesn’t mean that there are 40,000 fewer people in the country.

He said he was pretending to surrender. Maybe the Song Emperor would spare him and save his life no matter what happened; but we in the Liao Kingdom are in serious trouble.

Therefore, today the Liao court is discussing matters. Even the second-grade generals of the Song Dynasty did not inform him to go to court, so they knew that Song Rujiang would not have an easy life if he passed by.

As a surrendered general, if you go there with merit, of course people will be very happy. It was just because he had been mentally prepared for the enmity with Song Dynasty. However, he lost Qingzhou Pass and a large amount of money, and the halo of his meritorious service was lost.

If Qingzhou Song Neiguan was still in Liao's hands, the situation would naturally be different.

The Liao court proceedings were destined to be a tragedy.

Junfu has no opinion when it comes to matters. As long as an individual puts forward an opinion, Junfu will say that your idea is reasonable.

At this time, the Song army had captured Jizhou City; the ministers of the court stood on the side of the country; they were facing powerful and urgent enemies; although all their plans were for the sake of the Liao Kingdom.

But everyone’s thoughts and opinions are different. There is a difference in what you say; and Mr. Jun has no opinion. What you say makes sense, what I say makes sense, and what he said is actually not bad.

At this time, foreign enemies invaded, not to mention officials from the second rank and below; there were more than a dozen bosses in the three provinces and six ministries, Taixue, and historians in each department alone.

Who do you listen to?

There is a saying in our rural areas. It means that after the thief is caught, one shouts to beat him; another shouts to kill him; another shouts to release him; and the third shouts to treat him to a meal.

If you were the executor and the difference was so big, what would you do?

Releasing and killing are two different things.

The affairs of the Liao court were discussed from the early morning to the return of the Golden Crow to the west. They were personal opinions, and both the emperor and the father thought they were reasonable.

Everyone has a point, but it's a tragedy.

It makes sense for everyone, but there is no way to implement it. Should you kill him or invite him to dinner? If the difference is too big, there will be no way to form an imperial edict to issue arrangements.

Fortunately, the Ministry of War is in charge of the war.

After a market-like discussion. Master Yang, Minister of the Ministry of War, Yang Shifang, put forward a three-step plan based on the opinions of all parties.

First, he handed over all the surrendered generals of Song Ru and the Song Dynasty and returned them all to the Song Dynasty. At this time, the Song Dynasty had already occupied Jizhou, and they would not be willing to retreat just because they handed over Song Ru and a group of people. , return to Qingzhou Pass, thinking too much about beautiful things can easily damage the kidneys; that is impossible. But it can be postponed for a while so that the funeral can take time. Secondly, the Song Dynasty's military offensive was too hasty and there was no news, so it lost the opportunity; now there is no information about how many people the Song army has riding in Jizhou or what happened to Jizhou. Okay, shrewd man, it was to escort the rebel general, but actually to observe the intelligence of the Song army. Third, let’s see if spies can go into Jizhou to get some information. To fight, you need some information. When your eyesight goes dark, you really don't know what to do.

Second, the best way is to send the Ministry of Rites to discuss compensation and whether we can buy back Jizhou and Qingzhou Neiguan. However, this is difficult to do. It is only used as a reinforcement plan. Use the time to prepare military strength and buy it back. It's impossible, don't think too naively.

Third, the Song army had already invaded and took advantage of the above two events to quietly mobilize troops. The first is to protect the imperial city, and the second is to prepare to attack and recapture Jizhou and Liao's Qingzhou inner pass. The matter is too urgent, and some information is the best for the attack. The first two things are all information. As Minister of War, Yang Shichang was not naive enough to think that just by paying money to send Song Ru back, Emperor Song would be willing to withdraw his troops and return to Qingzhou Neiguan.

In a word, the whole plan is to delay the deployment of troops and take back the Liao Kingdom by force. All giving away people and paying money is just a delaying tactic. The Song army has already occupied the city. So many people have died. How much effort was spent? Everyone knows that the Song Dynasty will not return to the Qingzhou Inner Pass of the Song Dynasty

——We can only fight Song State back.

All the civil and military officials in the dynasty had been hungry all day and were unsteady on their feet. Even if they had better suggestions, that would be fine.

Besides, the idea of ​​the Secretary of the Ministry of War is really good.

Since everyone had no objections, Emperor Liao certainly had no objections either.

Ever since Song Ru knew that Jizhou City had been captured by the Song Army, he knew his fate.

As a rebel general of the Song Dynasty, he started talking about first-class generals just for a moment, mainly because he saw that the Song Emperor was so powerful in killing people in the north, and when he came back to the south, he killed the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty; he knew his identity and was afraid of the Song Emperor. After the fall, Song Ru was ready to settle accounts as early as when Prince Jing became emperor. He knew what Zhao Dian had done to King Jing's old troops; it happened that the Liao Kingdom rebelled against the Liao Kingdom in a fit of enthusiasm.

Being able to become a third-grade military general in the Qingyuan Dynasty, his political and strategic vision was not too short-sighted; I just didn't expect that the Qingzhou barrier, which had been guarded by thousands of people for ten years, could be broken so easily.

If he didn't rebel against the enemy, even if the Emperor of Song Dynasty settled the accounts later, it would be bad for his reputation. Especially when he heard that Chang Sheng came to seize Jizhou City, he began to regret it. The old Chang Sheng died at the hands of the Song Emperor. If the Song Emperor could let go of his prejudices, not be afraid of Chang Sheng's rebellion against the Song Dynasty, and fully trust Chang Sheng, he would not be able to grab Chang Sheng's bad feet in the future.

As long as Changsheng does not rebel against the Song Dynasty and is not corrupt, if the Emperor of the Song Dynasty wants to say that the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, then he is making fun of his own reputation.

If His Majesty the Orthodox Emperor can believe in everlasting victory, he must believe in himself. Besides, Emperor Qingyuan’s court, whether civil or military, has nothing to do with His Highness Prince Jing. Now the four lieutenants of Prince Jing are ranked first or second grade, and their reputation is endless. In the past, His Highness Prince Jing’s second lieutenant, Long Quan, was only fifth grade. In fact, he was Zhao The result of classical suppression.
