Chapter 442: An Shi’s Plan
The army marched slowly, with the Qiao Cavalry Army in the front, and then the Xixia Army. Zhu Shou's soldiers and horses were in the middle, Shesheng and other legions followed the Chinese army, and at the end were the Northern Song Dynasty soldiers and horses.

Although the Khitans were defeated, under the painstaking efforts of Dahe Kuge, Jedi and others, they fought and retreated. Although they continued to lose, their losses were relatively small. The army slowly retreated, and the two sides were no more than a hundred miles apart.

At this moment in Bianjing City, in the Chui Gong Hall, the young King Zhao Xu of the Northern Song Dynasty looked at the memorial in his hand, with a trace of hesitation on his face. In front of him, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and other famous officials stood with their hands hanging down, with calm expressions.

"My lords, what do you think of the news from Marquis Wu Cheng? Are we, the Song Dynasty, going to join in?" Zhao Xu finally asked.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, His Highness King Ming is leading an army to help us attack the Khitans. It seems a little inappropriate for us to cause trouble behind his back!" A middle-aged man with an elegant face said.

"Mr. Su, although I say so, it is true that King Ming is ambitious and always wants to annex the Western Wilderness!" Beside him, an old man retorted coldly: "Moreover, he is only serving under the orders of the Emperor. He came to support, he was acting under orders, if it were not the emperor's order, I think he would have wished that our Northern Song Dynasty had been destroyed by the Khitans?"

"Lu Huiqing, you are talking nonsense and distorting the facts. No matter what, King Ming is killing the enemy on the front line at the moment and helping us defeat the Khitans. This is a fact." The middle-aged man surnamed Su glared.

"Su Shi, you are also a minister of the Song Dynasty. Zeng did not believe it. You did not see the ambition of King Ming. You are still trying to excuse King Ming at this time. Why is this? I think you are envious of the Ming Dynasty and want to submit to the Ming Dynasty. !" Lu Huiqing's face was gloomy, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"That's enough. It's unbecoming to argue in front of the king." Wang Anshi snorted coldly.

Su Shi and Lu Huiqing stopped talking immediately, but Lu Huiqing glanced at Wang Anshi's back with a sinister look, like a poisonous snake, which made people shudder.

"Okay, we are all ministers of the same palace. Let's discuss this matter together. Tell us any suggestions you have." Zhao Xu had a nice voice. He was obviously a benevolent king. His eyes fell on Wang Anshi and Sima Guang. On the body, he said: "Two gentlemen, what do you think?"

Who are the two important ministers in the court? They are Wang Anshi and Sima Guang.

"Your Majesty, this opportunity is rare. The Emperor has long been dissatisfied with King Ming. The Wu Sheng Mansion also wants to kill King Ming. I have met King Ming before. He is already an innate master at a young age. Now he has received the help of Wu Sheng. If It’s okay for this person to be in the Ming Dynasty, but now that he has left the Ming Dynasty, he only has 5000 troops around him, so this opportunity is rare.”

"If King Ming doesn't die today, he will definitely invade the Song Dynasty in the future. Therefore, I think this is an excellent opportunity. I ask the king to issue an order to summon the innate masters in the country to kill King Ming."

Sima Guang said through gritted teeth.Although he knew that Zhu Shou valued him very much and hoped that he could submit to the Ming Dynasty, he was a minister of the Song Dynasty and was now the prime minister. What could he do if he went to the Ming Dynasty?

"Wang Qing, what do you think?" Zhao Xu looked at Wang Anshi and asked.

"Returning to the king, I think it is not appropriate to kill King Ming." Wang Anshi thought for a while and said: "After all, King Ming is fighting for our Song Dynasty. If we kill him, it will be very detrimental to the reputation of the king." "Wang Xiang, what do you think King Ming will do next after getting help from Zhang Sanfeng?" Sima Guang retorted as soon as Wang Anshi finished speaking.

"The most likely way to raise troops to conquer the world is the Eastern Barrens." Wang Anshi said honestly: "It is also possible that it is the Western Barrens."

"Since you know he is our enemy, why don't you destroy him now? Dali has cut off his return, Zhou has cut off his retreat, Xixia has cut off his right wing, and we, the Song Dynasty, have cut off his left wing. Attacked from all sides, 5000 men and horses cannot escape. , so what if you are innate? In the Northern Song Dynasty, we have innate masters such as Xiaoyao Sanlao, Sweeping Monk, Qiao Feng, Old Taijun She, Mu Guiying, etc., plus innate masters from Dali, Xixia and Dazhou, to kill King Ming. Isn't it very easy?" Sima Guang said confidently.

"What happens after you kill him?" Wang Anshi said calmly: "What will you do after you kill King Ming? King Ming has already established a prince, and there is also Zhang Sanfeng, the martial saint, as his assistant, and there are countless civil servants and generals in the court. The popularization of martial arts in the Zhong Dynasty has won the hearts of the soldiers. With an order, a large army will attack. If the Southern Song Dynasty is added, how can we, the Song Dynasty, resist it?"

Everyone was silent after hearing this. At this time, everyone remembered that this matter could not be solved by killing King Ming. The rise of Ming Dynasty was already unstoppable, especially when Zhang Sanfeng entered the Ming Dynasty and became the Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty. In an instant, wanting to deal with Daming meant facing Daming's revenge.

"It's just that this is the intention of Marquis Wu Cheng, or in other words, this is the intention of Emperor Zhou and Wu Shengfu. If we don't abide by it, it might be inappropriate!" Lu Huiqing hesitated immediately.

He suddenly thought that the current Ming Dynasty had a legacy. King Ming had a prince, and it was rumored that the queen was also a powerful character. In addition to Zhang Sanfeng, whoever killed King Ming would probably suffer revenge from the Ming Dynasty. Lu Huiqing suddenly stopped talking.

"Your Majesty, I think we should just pretend we don't know about this matter." Wang Anshi added: "Actually, if King Ming is killed, it will naturally be good for us, but he must not die at the hands of me, the Song Dynasty."

"What do you mean, Mr. Wang?" Zhao Xu's eyes lit up after hearing this. Of course he wanted Zhu Shou to be killed, but he was also worried about Zhang Sanfeng's power. Now after listening to Wang Anshi's statement, it seemed that there were other changes, and he was a little happy. .

"Your Majesty, please don't forget. It was mentioned in Marquis Wu Cheng's letter that King Dali was also involved in this matter. Your Majesty, King Dali is not a simple man. He has two brothers, one of whom is Qiao Feng, the leader of the Beggar Clan. , the second is Xixia Prince Consort Xu Zhu, both of them are innate masters, and Xu Zhu is the disciple of the Three Elders Xiaoyao. If Duan Yu is in trouble, the three brothers will definitely go to help. If the disciple is in trouble, how can the master not help? ? In this way, it is actually equivalent to five more innate masters."

"In the Song Dynasty, we still have two innate masters, Mrs. She and Mu Guiying. The king can let them lead the troops and guard the border. On the surface, they will resist the Khitan attack. In fact, they will block the Ming king's way into the wilderness. .As for other matters, leave them to Emperor Zhou to handle."

Wang Anshi stroked his beard, his expression slightly concerned.

"Mr. Wang's plan makes me admire him very much." Zhao Xu couldn't help but admire.

Sima Guang and others also nodded repeatedly, sighing in their hearts.
