Mixed martial arts: I am the best in the world

Chapter 387 Loyalty
Putting down the letter in his hand, Zhu Shou shook his head and let Wu Meiniang put the letter away.

"Your Majesty, you think Wen Tianxiang will not temporarily withdraw the troops as requested by your Majesty?" Wu Meiniang saw Zhu Shou's worries. This letter was written by Zhu Shou to the King of the Southern Song Dynasty, asking the King of the Southern Song Dynasty to postpone the march and allow the Yang family to return to the north. , to resist the Khitan attack.

"The meat is already here, and I can eat it in my mouth casually. In this case, why should I give up the benefits?" Zhu Shou explained: "Even if this matter involves the Khitan people, then So what? The entire Great Wilderness knows the bad deeds of the Khitans, how can these people occupy the Western Wilderness? Then we can all resist together."

Wu Meiniang nodded after hearing this. Unbeknownst to others, she would never give up the benefits she gained in this situation. She would definitely continue to speed up her attack on the Northern Song Dynasty, and even thought this was an excellent opportunity.

Zhu Shou's support is important, but this matter is an excellent opportunity for Zhao. How can he let it go easily?
"Your Majesty, this letter?" Wu Meiniang didn't want to send the letter after hearing this. This move would only bring shame to King Ming's face.

"Send it away, send it away openly and with great fanfare. Why not send it away?" Zhu Shou said nonchalantly: "Gu Shang has done nothing to the people of Xihuang. This time I will also give them a reminder."

What does face count for?The most important thing is what he can get. If the Southern Song Dynasty seeks death, that is his business. Now Zhu Shou's only worry is whether he can conquer two major countries in one go.

"The king is worried about whether I, Daming, have such a big appetite?" Wu Meiniang could see Zhu Shou's worry at a glance.

"Yes! The opportunity is right in front of you. If you don't grasp it in the end, that's your own problem. You can't blame God for not giving you a chance!" Zhu Shou said with a bitter smile.

No matter how powerful the Ming Dynasty is, it is impossible to fight on both sides. Whether it is the Eastern Wilderness or the Western Wilderness, the area is huge and the population is large. It may not be possible to occupy these places in a short period of time.

"What does the king pay more attention to is Donghuang?" Wu Meiniang hesitated for a while. She always had the feeling that Zhu Shou paid more attention to Donghuang, but on the contrary, he didn't pay much attention to Xihuang.

"There are so many talents in the Eastern Wasteland. If you don't pay attention, you will become Gu's formidable enemy. Moreover, King Sui finally secured the victory and played a big game. If I give up this opportunity, won't I let Yang Guang die in peace?" Zhu Shou shook his head.

In his mind, this was certainly one aspect, but more importantly, if the Song Dynasty was not in chaos, how could he have a chance?There are so many children of the royal family of the Song Dynasty. If anyone makes a covenant with the kings, will I have to help them restore the country?You will also get no benefit from it.

But once the Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Khitan, he could take the opportunity to destroy the Khitan and occupy the land of the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, no one could let him give up the benefits he had gained, not even the Emperor of Zhou.

Whether it’s in terms of investment or dedication, the East Wasteland is much better than the West Wasteland.

"We are not saints. There is no need to give up our plans for others. Just let the Tutor focus on Beizhou. If people from the Song Dynasty leave the Song Dynasty and come to the Ming Dynasty, they are still very welcome." Zhu Shou quickly said this Putting this matter aside, once a decision has been made, nothing will change.

In the hotel, Sima Guang asked people to pack their luggage. Qiao Feng came after hearing the news and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, there is no news from King Ming yet, why do you want to pack your luggage? Hasn't King Ming already made a decision? "

"Qiao Feng! King Ming has written to the Southern Song Dynasty, asking the Southern Song Dynasty to withdraw its troops." Sima Guang said with a bitter smile.

"Isn't this great? It shows that King Ming attaches great importance to this matter." Qiao Feng was a little confused.

"Brother, this shows that King Ming has made a decision and will not send troops to interfere in this matter. It is just a letter, but the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty will probably not take King Ming's letter to heart. After all, King Ming's letter is on one side. Letters, on one side, are thousands of miles of country. Anyone can make the right choice." "As for the Khitans, they may have the upper hand for a while, but that's it. After all, they are not Han people and cannot occupy the Western Wilderness." Sima Guang smiled bitterly and said: "King Ming's main energy is still in the Eastern Barren. The East Barren has a large population. King Sui has laid the foundation for King Ming."

"I think there is also the desire of King Ming. King Ming has the intention to occupy the Western Wilderness. With the Song Dynasty, whether it is the Southern Song Dynasty or the Northern Song Dynasty, or even as long as there is a clan, the Western Wilderness can only belong to the Zhao family, and it cannot be It belongs to King Ming, but if the Northern Song Dynasty is destroyed by the Khitans, then the Northern Song Dynasty will be a land without an owner. Since it is a land without an owner, the Ming Dynasty can naturally seize it." Duan Yu suddenly explained: "This may be the reason for my villain. Heart, maybe King Ming doesn’t have this idea.”

"Even if there is, it's normal. If Da Song had such an opportunity, I'm afraid he wouldn't let it go." A smile appeared on Sima Guang's face.He said seriously: "However, I don't blame King Ming. King Ming has already written a letter to the King of the Southern Song Dynasty, and he has done his best. Ming Dynasty mainly focused on the Eastern Wasteland, and the West just made random arrangements. I believe that as long as we are united and work together, , will definitely be able to defeat the Khitans."

"Your Excellency is very righteous." The three Qiao Feng brothers were moved after hearing this.

Perhaps Sima Guang had many shortcomings, but his patriotism never changed. Even in the face of difficulties, he knew that the national policy of the Ming Dynasty could not be changed, but he still haunted the residences of high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty during this period, trying to persuade these ministers to gain a frontline for the Northern Song Dynasty. vitality.

Some progress has indeed been made, such as the letters of King Ming, such as the Ming Dynasty's surveillance of Beizhou and Huanghe Island, etc., which all show that the Ming Dynasty took certain measures against the Southern Song Dynasty.

But this measure did not have much impact on the battle situation.

"Sir, what should we do now? Return to Bianjing?" Qiao Feng asked.

"No, let's go to Haojing. Since King Ming can't help us, then we will ask the imperial court to help us. Khitan is inherited from Quanrong, the imperial court's great enemy, so we will ask the emperor to take action and send troops from Zhongzhou." Sima Guang There was a twinkle in his eyes.

When the three Qiao Feng brothers saw this, they felt a sense of solemnity in their hearts, and they were all moved by Sima Guang. Faced with difficulties, Sima Guang never gave up his loyalty to the Northern Song Dynasty, even though he knew that Zhou might not have a good solution to this move. He still decides to go to Ho Kyung.

"Qiao Feng is willing to accompany you to Haojing." Qiao Feng said seriously.

"We are also willing to follow you, sir." Duan Yu and Xu Zhu looked at each other and said, "I understand."

"Okay, okay, thank you all three." Sima Guang nodded repeatedly, but still said: "Prince Duan, you and Mr. Xu Zhuzi don't need to go. The Khitans will go south, and Dali and Xixia will also be affected. I would like to invite two After returning home, prepare the army for war, and if something goes wrong, please ask the two of you to lend a helping hand to the Song Dynasty."

"Second brother, third brother, I'm afraid you really need to do this." Qiao Feng also said.

"Okay, Lord Sima, don't worry. I will immediately prepare for war after I return. If there are any difficulties in the Northern Song Dynasty, Dali will definitely take responsibility." Duan Yu said quickly.

"Don't worry, Sir, Piaomiao Peak will also take action." Xu Zhu also said.
