Fu Song

Chapter 681 Counterattack
Oasis was awakened from sleep.

He is leaving tomorrow.

During the day, under the leadership of Shoufu, he formally met with the little emperor, and presented the memorial of Little Zhang Taiwei.

This is the first time since Zhao An ascended the throne for several years, Zhang Cheng formally expressed his intention to submit to him.

The small officials expressed their gratification and encouragement in a stylized manner. Of course, there will never be fewer officials who should be appointed.

Xiao Zhang Taiwei also officially became a Taiwei recognized by the court.

As for important generals like Gan Quan, basically everyone jumped up one level. As for other people, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War will give some blank letters of appointment. After returning, they can fill in their names.

The benefits that should be obtained are not the same, and there is even a surplus.

As for the investigation of the Jiangning New Song Dynasty, Gan Quan also has his own conclusions.

This is a vigorous and progressive regime,

This is a country that is absolutely capable of competing against the Liao Kingdom,

Definitely have a chance to defeat Song of Liao.

So Ganquan slept soundly.

"What happened?" Gan Quan, who was running towards the palace side by side with Liu Xin, was full of doubts.

If there were any major military affairs, the Jiangning court wouldn't call him, would it?
Could it be that something happened to Captain Zhang?
Thinking of this, beads of sweat could not help but appear on his forehead.

"Did something happen to Jingzhao Mansion?" He kept asking.

"Don't think about it, it's the people from the Liao Kingdom!" Liu Xin said, "Of course you'll know everything when you get to Shoufu."

Arriving at the Chief Assistant Office, when the two of them got off their horses, they saw more than a dozen officials coming out of the house. Judging by their expressions, each of them was full of anger, and some even scolded as they walked. Extremely annoyed.

This made Gan Quan a little confused. These people who came out were basically those who held real power and high positions in the Jiangning court. Which of them didn't belong to the kind of people who didn't change their face when Mount Tai collapsed in front of them after going through a storm?
Why do they all look so groggy now?

When I stepped into the public hall, the sound of drums outside just happened to strike,

It's already four watch days.

Xiao Cheng didn't sleep at all last night.

"Just received a piece of information!" Without any politeness, Xiao Cheng pointed to the chair on the ground, motioning for Gan Quan to sit down.

"Did the Liao people invade on a large scale?" Gan Quan said, "On the way, Liu told me that it was about the Liao people."

"It would be easy if the Liao people invaded!" Xiao Cheng waved his hands wearily: "It's nothing more than soldiers coming to block, water coming and soil flooding."

"That is?"

"It's about the Supreme Emperor." Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes.

"Is the Supreme Emperor dead?" Gan Quan asked.

Zhao Suo was in his sixties, and was arrested by the Liao people and locked up in Wuguo City. I heard that the conditions there were quite bad. It is not surprising that a person who has been pampered all his life kicked his legs and died because he couldn't stand such torture.

"It would be great if I died!" Xiao Cheng's face was so gloomy that it seemed that it was about to rain: "You can't believe it, our Supreme Emperor is actually coming back!"

"Come back?" Gan Quan didn't react for a while, blinked at Xiao Cheng, and then jumped up suddenly after repeating: "What? Come back? The Liao people let him come back?"

"The emperor of the Liao Kingdom granted him the title of King Song, living in Tokyo City, and restraining King Zhao, King Qi, and King Jin." A sneer appeared at the corner of Xiao Cheng's mouth: "This newly released King Song has bid farewell to the Liao Kingdom's inheritance in Beijing yesterday. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor are heading south all the way under the escort of thousands of Pishi troops."

"Is this impossible?" Gan Quan said with disbelief on his face: "How is this possible? He, he is the Supreme Emperor of Song Dynasty!"

"I also think it's impossible!" Xiao Cheng spread his hands: "This is so fucking unbelievable, but this actually happened. Whether it's the Overwatch Council or the Imperial City Division, the information obtained through inquiring That's all."

"How can, how can you be so shameless!" Gan Quan's hands trembled a little: "He, he did this, how can he be worthy of those brothers we have died in these years?"

"What he thinks of is only himself!" Xiao Cheng said.

"But he has abdicated, he is no longer an official of the Song Dynasty." Gan Quan said suddenly, "He is just an old and confused guy, and he has lost his mind."

Xiao Cheng slapped his hands, but he laughed: "That's right, it's really a hero who sees the same thing, and I think so too. The Supreme Emperor was not in good health before, otherwise he wouldn't have abdicated. Now he is in the Five Kingdoms City After suffering for several years, it must be so. Liao people are so shameless, even an old man who is very old and will not live for a few years, it is really not a son of man, it is extremely hateful!"

"Then, what's the situation with that official?" Gan Quan asked in a low voice.

"Dead!" Xiao Cheng said.

"Finally there is another one with backbone!" Gan Quan breathed a sigh of relief. "If he comes to be the King of Song, we will be really passive."

"What does it mean to have backbone?" Liu Xin sneered on the side: "I heard that Zhao Jing was killed by his master Zhao Yuan who had been following him all the time, and Zhao Yuan killed him because Zhao Jing also agreed to be this King Song, the two of them, father and son, are truly loving fathers and filial sons, a pair of bastards."

Hearing these words, Gan Quan couldn't help but stare.

However, Xiao Cheng waved his hands and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you can just listen to these gossips. The late emperor obviously didn't want to be manipulated by the Liao people, and he didn't want to be subjected to such a shame and humiliation, that's why he showed his ambition by death. This point must be handled carefully." It's safe, and the imperial court will use this as a basis to issue obituaries to the world and discuss the Liao proclamation."

Gan Quan nodded again and again: "That's right!"

Although these two emperors are too ugly, as the successors of the Song Dynasty, they still have to find ways to wipe their buttocks and wrap them in a layer of brilliant and splendid robes.Even if the body inside the robe is messy and full of abscesses.

Although aggrieved, there is no other way.

Otherwise, if the truth spreads out, the morale of the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty may fall to the bottom all of a sudden.

Gas can be inflated but not vented.

Originally, there were many different voices in the south regarding Faliao.

If it weren't for the fact that the military has repeatedly won many battles on the front line in the past two years, and the court under the presidency of Xiao Cheng has also been running well, and the people's lives have generally improved compared to before, I am afraid that there will be voices of peace negotiations and surrender. Already gaining the upper hand.

"Shoufu, did you call me urgently today?" Gan Quan asked.

It's nothing more than notifying myself of these things. If I deliberately find myself, there must be other important things.

"I didn't quite understand Yelu Longxu's series of actions earlier, but now I can roughly draw a range when I connect it with this news!" Xiao Cheng said: "I'm afraid Yelu Longxu is playing Li Chun's idea." .”

"You mean to say that Yelu Longxu wants to join forces with Li Chun?" Gan Quan was taken aback, but immediately understood: "Yes, he suddenly stopped after a big victory, and he also captured Li Chun's Son Li Gang, these are all conditions for negotiation! But Li Chun, will he collude with the Liao people?"

"If Li Chun were to bow his head to people like Qu Zhen and Liu Quanyi, he would naturally be unwilling." Xiao Cheng sighed: "The difference with these people is that Li Chun still needs to save face. But the situation is very different now. Well, he lost his army and lost his generals, and his strength has been greatly reduced. There are many tribes on Qinfeng Road, and those tribes are all powerful. If they are strong, they will hang out with you and obey you. Maybe it will pop up right away. And at this stage, I believe Yelu Longxu will definitely make more efforts to seduce those tribes on Qinfeng Road."

"So, Li Chun has a great possibility to surrender!" Gan Quan gasped.

"Yes, this is the insidiousness of the Liao people's trick!" Xiao Cheng said: "Li Chun can also say that he did not surrender to the Liao people, but that he just obeyed the orders of the Supreme Emperor."

"Deceive your ears and steal your bell!"

"It's just that we need a plausible excuse!" Xiao Cheng said, "There are steps on both sides, aren't they? But this will undoubtedly lead to a very bad start."

"Can't you attack and assassinate him halfway?" Gan Quan said viciously.

"I've tried it!" Liu Xin on the side said angrily: "Gouri's school office took this matter as a trap to seduce our spies. Along the way, we lost nearly a hundred excellent spies. Tan, they all wanted to assassinate Zhao Suo and fell into the opponent's trap."

"There are thousands of elite leather troops outside, and those guys from the school office inside. It is basically impossible to assassinate. This matter has been stopped." Xiao Cheng shook his head and said: "This matter can only be done from Let's solve it politically. Fortunately, Zhao Suo's health is really not good, and he shouldn't last long. If he dies, then we can relax a bit."

Gan Quan nodded: "What does the Chief Assistant need us to do?"

"Yelu Longxu should also try to win over Captain Zhang!" Xiao Cheng said.

"Our Taiwei will never join forces with Li Chun's generation!" Gan Quan said with certainty.

"On this point, I believe in Captain Zhang, but General Gan, I need Captain Zhang to find a way to kill Li Chun and master Qin Feng's road!" Xiao Cheng said: "Li Chun knows us very well. Once he decides to defect In the case of the Liao Kingdom, it is basically useless for us to assassinate him. At this time, there are only a few people who have the opportunity to kill him, and Taiwei Zhang is undoubtedly one of them."

"Although we occupy Jingzhao Mansion now, our strength is not at the same level as Li Chun's." Gan Quan said hesitantly, "Shoufu, how can we have a chance to defeat Li Chun and kill him?"

"Be vain first!" Xiao Cheng said: "From Yelu Longxu's point of view, Little Taiwei Zhang has never acknowledged Jiangning Xinsong these years. This is a signal worth wooing. Now our officials , is the queen of King Jing, and the death of King Jing is inseparable from Little Taiwei Zhang."

Hearing this, Gan Quan's face couldn't help but change.

"As for Zhao Suo, he also has an intimate relationship with Little Captain Zhang. Back then, Zhao Suo was full of praise for Little Captain Zhang, and it was precisely because of Zhao Suo's extraordinary promotion that he soared to the sky!" Xiao Cheng Then he said: "Moreover, the old Taiwei Zhang died at the hands of my elder brother Xiao Ding. Speaking of which, the little Taiwei Zhang and our Xiao family have a sworn feud. Therefore, in Yelu Longxu's view, the little Taiwei Zhang pointed Maybe even more valuable than Li Chun."

"and then?"

"In order to increase his influence among the Liao people, Li Chun will definitely choose to join forces with Little Captain Zhang!" Xiao Cheng took a deep breath, "This will give Little Captain Zhang a chance to kill with one blow. .”

"But this is also a tiger's mouth pulling teeth!" Gan Quan's voice was a little trembling: "I have met Li Chun, and he is extremely cautious."

"You're right, so you bring my idea to Xiao Zhang Taiwei. As for how to do it, let him decide for himself!" Xiao Cheng said: "By the way, we are on top of the aid supplies that were originally planned. , added two thousand hand cannons."

"Hand cannon? Two thousand pieces?" Gan Quan thought of the black iron lump in his mind.

"Yes. Even the Jiangning garrison is not equipped with the latest hand cannons. We only have [-] hand cannons in our warehouse!" Liu Xin said.

Now that Gan Quan is gone, how Zhang Cheng will make a decision still needs to be verified by time.

However, Xiao Cheng believes that based on his understanding of Zhang Ziming, this person will never be a guy who is willing to bow his knee to the Liao people.

If he didn't quietly send Ganquan here, he might still hesitate, but since Ganquan came, it meant that Zhang Ziming was really mature.

This matter can only be done well if it is entrusted to him.

"Three brothers and sisters like you can really fix things!" Serving Xiao Cheng a bowl of rice, Jiang Yingxue shook her head and said: "When I saw the third sister back then, I never imagined that she would become so sharp and pungent!"

"If you were in her position, you probably wouldn't be worse than her!" Xiao Cheng said.

"Yeah, then you've really flattered me, I'm really better than her, I still have this bit of self-knowledge!" Jiang Yingxue sighed: "Sanmei's move hit you seven inches, right?"

"It's a little bit less interesting!" Xiao Cheng laughed: "If she is more generous and directly says that Zhao Suo's position as emperor will be restored, and the territory of the Song Dynasty will be returned, and that Song and Liao will always be brothers. I'm really at a loss. In this way, the appeasement faction inside us will have a good time. What is the meaning of the Song King now? Son emperor? Under our Jiangning rule, all Song people who still have a bit of backbone, as long as I'm afraid he won't accept it? If that guy dares to jump out and say that we agree, he will be beaten to death immediately, after all, he is still petty!"

"Even if she wants to do this, the Liao Kingdom will not agree to it?" Jiang Yingxue laughed. "Isn't Yelu Longxu the imperial party? It's never been right with her."

"Since it's a pot of raw rice, it gives me a chance to fight back!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "Next, I will hold an unparalleled state funeral for the late emperor Zhao Jing with great fanfare!"

"Will Zhao Suo vomit blood in anger?"

"Better spit to death!"
