Chapter 984 The Son of Heaven Wants to Be Domineering

Zhao Shu returned to Juyong Pass, passed Changping, and arrived at Youzhou Palace... Along the way, His Majesty the Emperor seemed very silent and calm.

However, public opinion had exploded. The emperor led his troops to fight and killed hundreds of elite Khitan troops, winning a great victory. His Majesty was young and capable, wise and powerful, and was one of the few heroes.

My Song Dynasty restored Yunzhou and recreated the prosperous era of the Han and Tang Dynasties, just around the corner.

Wherever Zhao Shu went, the people greeted each other in groups, cheered in the middle of the road, and the soldiers also raised their knees to pay their highest respect and loyalty to the king.

Facing the fanatical people, to be honest, Zhao Shu was ashamed and his face was very red.

Finally, there were only two masters and apprentices left, and Zhao Shu was no longer tense.

"Master, this time my disciple was wrong. I was eager to play and just left the Great Wall. Dozens of guards died in battle. I, I was wrong!" Zhao Shu looked like a primary school student.

Wang Ning'an just sighed, "Your Majesty shoulders the responsibility of the Nine Provinces and the 100 million people, and is the Lord of the People. How can you make a mistake?"

Zhao Shu's face turned even redder.

"Master, it's wrong, it's right, it's right, you taught this to your disciple!"

Wang Ning'an chuckled and said, "Since Your Majesty said that, then Your Majesty will tell you what happened this time truthfully! Let the newspapers be filled with articles and keep reporting, so that all the people in the world know what Your Majesty is doing?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Shu was stunned.

Can you say it?

What is the face of the Tian family when you tell me?

What do you think about the military and civilians?

What's more, during this war, the Song Dynasty had all made great efforts and suddenly a playful emperor appeared, so how could the people deal with it?

There are also stock markets, futures, and court affairs, so many bad things are entangled... What's even more terrible is that the master is about to abdicate, and the next step is that the court will be full of welding ministers. This is the time when the emperor needs prestige the most. If the matter is told truthfully, how can he rule over all officials?

Zhao Shu's face was feverish and it was red!

He became more and more ashamed and couldn't help but lower his head.

"Master, I'm really wrong. If Master doesn't punish his disciples, he will issue an edict to blame himself!" Zhao Shu's stubborn temper even came up.

Wang Ning'an shook his head repeatedly, not knowing whether he was happy or helpless!

"Your Majesty, you have never been a general who has always won since ancient times. You are not afraid of losing or being wrong. You are afraid of not knowing how to lose, and you don't know how to make mistakes! I cannot punish Your Majesty, but I have a few questions. If Your Majesty can think clearly, you may be able to control thousands of troops and not make mistakes in the future!"

After hearing this, Zhao Shu was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Please ask, Master!"

"First... Why did Yelu Hongji suddenly appear in Yunzhou? Logically speaking, Youzhou is lost and Yunzhou is optional. My Song Dynasty has not sent troops for a long time, just waiting for the opportunity. Is it necessary for Yelu Hongji to bet on this game of life, life, and fate of the Khitan?"

Zhao Shu showed a meditative look. He was very similar to Zhao Zhen. He was not the kind of person who had a quick brain, but they were definitely not stupid. After a while, Zhao Shu slowly said: "According to common sense, Yelu Hongji should not appear, but he just came! This shows that he was under the pressure of not losing Yunzhou, which forced him to do so!"

"What's the pressure?" Wang Ning'an asked afterwards.

"He is the emperor of the Khitan. If he loses Yunzhou, his subordinates will not be convinced." After Zhao Shu said that, he shook his head, "In the past, he had lost Youzhou, but recently he lost Goryeo. The Khitan land is vast and sparsely populated, and he doesn't care so much about the land. Moreover, Yunzhou is too close to the Song Dynasty. He will fight with the Song Dynasty head-on here and there will be no good results!"

Zhao Shu overturned the speculation of face, and that was left with the inner world, which he couldn't figure out for a moment.

Wang Ning'an didn't say anything, but got up and walked to the front of the sand table. Zhao Shu also followed him. His study experience in Royal Martial Arts allowed Zhao Shu to easily understand the sand table.

He quickly found Youzhou, the Great Wall, and to the west were the Taihang Mountains, Juyongguan, Ruzhou, Yehuling, and then Yunzhou, which is the Xijing of the Liao Kingdom... Further west, there is the Jinhe River and Yinshan line... In the past, the Han family's hometown was here. If Hu horses were not taught to cross Yinshan, they could protect Yinshan, and they could protect the Central Plains... Shi Jingtang offered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but took off the two major barriers of the Central Plains... The Khitans invaded the Central Plains many times, and were unscrupulous. Shi Jingtang should have cut them into pieces!

Zhao Shu tried hard to recall the military knowledge he had learned, and he accidentally saw another place in Yunneizhou!

This Yunneizhou is different from Yunzhou. It is located south of Yinshan Mountain and north of the Yellow River. It was once close to Xixia. It has abundant water and grass, making it the best horse farm... Zhao Shu finally lit up when he saw this!

He seemed to have grasped the key... Don't worry, just sort it out little by little... Almost a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Shu hit the sand table hard and said excitedly: "Master, I understand!"

Wang Ning'an smiled, "His Majesty really figured it out?"

"Um!"

Zhao Shu pointed his hand at Liaodong, "Now the Jurchens are powerful, Wanyan Yingge may sweep Liaodong at any time with the help of the power of the Bohai Sea. The Khitan has lost a horse farm! After the Song Dynasty recovered Youzhou, it crossed the Great Wall almost every year, drove the Khitan away, and burned the pastures. Therefore, within 500 miles north of the Great Wall, it is not a suitable horse farm... After all, the last horse farm in Khitan was Yunneizhou, which is also the reason why Yunzhou must be defended!"

Zhao Shu talked happily, "Western Xia fell into the hands of the Song Dynasty, and our cavalry was stationed in Hetao. If we take Yunzhou again and attack on both sides, the horse farm in Yunneizhou will inevitably be unable to be saved, and we will lose an important source of war horses. Not to mention fighting with the Song Dynasty, even the Jurchens can destroy them!"

Wang Ning'an finally showed a gratified smile. It is not a bad thing for an emperor to be wary, but if he does not have enough talent, it would be a tragedy.

If Zhao Shu can see through this game, it means that he has the ability to control war. As a master, Wang Ning'an is satisfied.

"Your Majesty, I want to hear, what should I do next?"

Zhao Shu hesitated for a moment, "Master, do you know how many war horses are there in Yunneizhou?"

"It has been checked, it should be less than 500,000 units!"

Zhao Shu was even more surprised, "Since that's the case, the Khitans could not transfer so many war horses at once, and they don't have the ability... The disciples thought Yelu Hongji should have wanted to delay the time. When the spring next year is about to start next year, the water and grass will be abundant, and he will move the war horses to another place. During this period, he will fight if he can, and if he can't fight, he will drag it!"

Wang Ning'an finally smiled.

"Your Majesty's judgment is consistent with me, what about Your Majesty's mastery?"

With the encouragement of his master, Zhao Shu became more confident.

"Master, there are so many war horses, no matter what, we can't let go... Although the Song Dynasty had railways, front-line transportation, especially artillery weighing thousands of pounds, was inseparable from horses. Therefore, it must be snatched, and it also gave the Khitan an unforgettable lesson!"

"How to grab it? Should I attack directly, or?"

"The direct attack on the front is a long distance, and there are many difficulties. Moreover, our army, which is mainly artillery, has been exhausted all the way. The disciples think that they should mobilize the troops from Xixia to cross the Yellow River from the ice, attack Yunneizhou, and destroy the largest horse farm in Khitan in one fell swoop!"

After Zhao Shu finished speaking, he looked at his master and saw a relieved smile.

"Your Majesty has such knowledge, and you have nothing to teach Your Majesty!"

There are only two things to do in a war: know yourself and your enemy. If you can do it, you dare not say that you will be defeated in a hundred battles. Wang Ning'an's words come from the bottom of his heart, but Zhao Shu is even more embarrassed.

"Master, don't praise the disciples anymore. Now I think of the guards who died in battle, and I feel very guilty."

Wang Ning'an sighed: "Your Majesty cherishes his soldiers, which is admirable. But as the commander, you must not be kind and indecisive. Now that the opportunity for war is fleeting, your Majesty should make a decision!"

Zhao Shu immediately stood up and was excited.

"My master is right, and immediately sent an order to the Xixia side, asking Di Zi to lead 10,000 cavalry forward to attack Yunneizhou. Han Zhongyan is responsible for transporting grain and grass and supplying military supplies."

With an order, someone immediately issued an order.

The master and apprentice were about to deploy the next step of action when suddenly someone came to report that it was the Khitan who sent an envoy.

This time I came here, an old acquaintance, named Xiao Dayou.

When he saw Wang Ning'an and Zhao Shu, he immediately felt trepidated and bowed deeply.

"My Majesty just learned that outside Juyong Pass, he offended the Supreme Emperor of the Song Dynasty. He specially sent foreign ministers to apologize and beg the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to forgive my Majesty's impoliteness!"

I want to vomit when I say this. Can it be even more hypocritical?

Believe it or not, if Yelu Hongji knew that Zhao Shu was among those 200 people, even if he fought his life, he would still kill Zhao Shu! After that, he might not regret it!

Wang Ning'an guessed it right again. Yelu Hongji led thousands of palaces to divide his troops, wanting to test the reality of the Song Dynasty, especially to understand the strength of the firearms and to formulate strategies for dealing with them.

As a result, he fought a battle with Zhao Shu in a daze. After retreating, two days later, a businessman delivered a letter saying that there was actually the emperor of the Song Dynasty in that team!

Yelu Hongkiton beat his chest with his feet and slapped himself four times, his face swollen!

You must know that Zhao Shu will definitely not care about casualties in the army. If you leave this kid behind, the world will be peaceful!

No matter how much you hate it, you will never be able to find it again if you lose the opportunity. The Khitan and the emperors of the Song Dynasty are here, so let’s talk about it.

Xiao Dayou was very respectful, "Dear Emperor of the Song Dynasty, my emperor sent foreign ministers to greet you, and he also came to ask Your Majesty for advice!"

Zhao Shu smiled faintly, "Speak whatever you have!"

"Yes..." Xiao Dayou bent over and said with a heartache: "Since the last birthday celebration, our two countries reached an agreement, and this time we communicated with each other. Both sides were at peace. Why did the Song Dynasty tear up the alliance and send troops without authorization? It would be a waste of morality to bully the weak!"

After hearing this, Zhao Shu suddenly burst into laughter.

"You are right! The Song Dynasty wants to bully the weak and use its power to suppress others! Are you not convinced?" Zhao Shu raised his eyebrows and sneered: "All this is learned from you. You took away the Sixteen State of Yanyun in the chaos. Now you still occupy the homeland of the Han family. I am here to take back Yunzhou!"
