Mixed martial arts: I am the best in the world

Chapter 577 The King of the Northern Song Dynasty

In the Palace of Qinzheng of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu summoned Wang Anshi and said, "Ms. Wang, the Ming Dynasty has decided to send troops. I am afraid that Donghuang will fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty soon. What should we do?"

Wang Anshi looked at the news sent by the Beggar Gang and said: "Your Majesty, isn't this something that has been expected for a long time? If King Ming wants to seize Donghuang, it may not be that simple! Donghuang looks like it is in chaos, and there is no trace of anything. The power of resistance, but in fact, the power of resistance is far greater than before. The Ming Dynasty’s tactics are not applicable in the Eastern Wasteland, and the Ming Dynasty will be unable to move forward.”

Zhao Xu thought for a while and nodded. He touched the short beard under his chin and said: "Of course I know that the other party's method is not applicable. To be honest, probably only Nanhuang can let King Ming do such chaos. In other parts of the Great Wilderness, it is impossible to succeed by playing King Ming's tricks. But, you also know that King Ming is very ambitious. Once he captures the Eastern Wasteland, the next step will be to attack us."

"What the king said is true. Among the major vassal states in the wilderness, only the Ming Dynasty is the most powerful. It has abundant national strength, domestic peace, and enough time and energy to fight foreign wars." Wang Anshi also agreed with Zhao Xu's remarks.

"It's a pity, we don't have enough time." Zhao Xu turned into a long sigh.

Since he came to the throne, he worked hard to rectify the government, appointed Wang Anshi to reform, and the national strength has been improved to a sufficient extent. However, due to bad luck, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Khitan people attacked successively, and the Northern Song Dynasty was almost destroyed by the two countries. If it were not for Emperor Zhou King He Ming sent troops one after another, and he didn't even know whether he could still sit on the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty, I believe that once the Ming Dynasty really launches an attack, I am afraid that it will need to unite the forces of all parties to resist the opponent's attack. Otherwise, we will definitely fail." Wang Anshi explained.

"I know what you are saying. If we don't unite with others, we will definitely not be the opponent of Ming Dynasty, right?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but said: "The opponent has many innate masters, but we also have many innate masters! Xiaoyao San Old, Zen sweeping monks, it is rumored that their martial arts are close to that of martial arts saints, the other party's Zhang Sanfeng is stationed in Jinling, and there are many innate masters who can dispatch them."

"What the king said is true. There are three levels of innateness, one step at a time. There is a huge gap in each realm. The three elders of Xiaoyao and the sweeping monk are already masters of the three levels of innateness. If they fight alone, they will definitely not be ours. Opponents, but the marching tent does not pay attention to these, it is still a competition of overall strength." Wang Anshi explained.

"I'm afraid the south will not agree with our unification!" Zhao Xu took a breath and said: "We have been fighting for the orthodoxy of the Song Dynasty for who knows how many years. The hatred between the two sides is as deep as the sea and we want to unite. , this possibility is relatively low.”

"Yes! I am also worried about this problem. No matter who comes to lead the army, they will worry about whether the other party will be ruthless." Wang Anshi was also very troubled and said: "But it has to be so. Without unity, neither of us can be Ming’s opponent.”

Zhao Xu nodded and said: "Actually, I still believe in the character of Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, and I also believe in the character of Wen Tianxiang, but I don't believe in the ability of this boy Zhao Kuo. I don't have much ability, but I know how to give random orders. That Yue Fei killed We retreated continuously, but the other party issued an edict asking him to return to the army. Such people are too selfish and have no overall view. The army cannot be commanded by them."

Wang Anshi nodded repeatedly. In fact, this situation was also obvious in the Song Dynasty. The generals were still very good, but just because they were very good, they needed to be controlled by others. This was the routine of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The eldest brother did not laugh at the second brother. The Northern Song Dynasty looked down on the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty also did not trust the Northern Song Dynasty.Now a problem arises. No one person can take charge of the armies of both sides, how can a unified command be formed.

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask the Emperor of Zhou?" Wang Anshi said suddenly.

"Can the Emperor of Zhou do it? King Ming destroyed Dali, but he didn't react at all. Now he raises troops to conquer the East Wasteland, and there is still no way. He is just a waste and has no effect." Zhao Xu had a look of disdain on his face.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Zhou is of course useless, but your Majesty, don't forget that we are all ministers of the Emperor of Zhou in name. The Emperor conquers the ministers and has great righteousness, but the ministers resist the Emperor, and the advantage in heaven has been lost." Wang Anshi explained. Said: "Emperor Zhou sent out the leading generals. I don't think he would say anything when he came to the south." Zhao Xu nodded after hearing this. Although he was very disdainful of Emperor Zhou, he had to admit that the other party was a good person and his ancestor was Emperor Zhou, so He is also the Emperor of Zhou.

"Will Emperor Zhou agree to this?" Zhao Xu asked again: "We are using him this time."

"Dazhou doesn't have much prestige anymore. Even if this is a trap, the opponent will jump into it. In addition, if you want to rise, you have to wait until the opponent captures the Northern Wilderness before making any calculations." Wang Anshi said seriously.

Zhao Xu nodded and was about to speak when he saw words coming from a servant outside, saying that the Imperial Master Lin Lingsu was asking for an audience. Zhao Xu's eyes suddenly lit up and he let Lin Lingsu in without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, it is inevitable that your Majesty will be healthy and have good health in the future. Why pursue those mythical theories?" Wang Anshi advised.

Zhao Xu smiled bitterly after hearing this and said, "Mr. Wang, do you know what the Song Dynasty needs now? He is the crown prince. He has been on the throne alone for many years and has no heirs yet. The country is unstable!"

Wang Anshi suddenly didn't know what to say. Strangely enough, the royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty had a characteristic, that is, it had few heirs, but those clans gave birth to many sons.The same is true for Zhao Xu in front of him. Until now, he has no son, so naturally he can only seek immortality.

"Your Majesty, I think the heirs are all due to chance. I feel that this is the way of the gods." Wang Anshi was about to persuade, but he saw a person walking outside, with white hair and a childlike face, wearing a Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, showing the spirit of immortality.

Wang Anshi frowned. This guy looked like an old man, but his face was rosy and his skin was as white as jade, making him look like a woman.No wonder he was trusted by the king of the Northern Song Dynasty.This is obviously the art of keeping one's appearance, which is the supreme magical power of Taoism.

The royal family of the Song Dynasty liked Taoism. This started from the ancestors of the Zhao family. The ancestors of the Zhao family obtained Chen Tuan Taoism. Later, they were promoted to the realm of martial saints and followed the emperor of Zhou, and then they laid the foundation in front of them.Therefore, Zhao's favorite is Taoism.

I am still very interested in the Taoist theory of immortality. ,

"The Prime Minister doesn't seem to like my Taoism. Hum, my Taoism has countless magical powers, but it is not believed by the world. Instead, I believe in those clay puppets. What a pity!" Lin Lingsu's voice was clear and gentle, ringing in people's ears. It sounded very strange. Comfortable.

"The Imperial Master is joking. Prime Minister Wang is also concerned about Gu's health." Zhao Xu said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, you'd better choose someone to go to Zhongzhou to see what Emperor Zhou wants! It's better to see this matter sooner rather than later. , if we wait any longer, Donghuang will be captured by the Ming Dynasty."

"I obey." Wang Anshi sighed in his heart. He knew that Zhao Xu was trying to drive him away, so he could only give Lin Lingsu a cold look and exit the hall.
