Chapter 401

When Li Zong heard this, he frowned and pondered for a while, nodded, and asked the others: "Where are you?"

The left prime minister spoke, and the emperor nodded. What else can others do? You Gu and Zhao Kui naturally had no objection. They said a few words of approval symbolically, and the matter was settled.

"Since all my dear thought so, then do it!" Li Zong pointed his hand and said, "Zhao Aiqing, the matter of rewarding merits and rewards is within the Privy Council, and I will leave it to you. You must grasp this level well. You must not let down the hearts of meritorious soldiers, nor can you pass it, so as not to avoid other generals eager to try and start a random war and disrupt my overall situation."

Zhao Kui, who had just been promoted from the Deputy Privy Councilor to Privy Councilor, felt a headache. He asked the horse to run but did not want the horse to eat grass. This job was really not easy, so he had to stand up and respectfully answer the order: "I will accept the order."

Li Zong let out a breath, and his body, which had been tense since entering this hall, slowly relaxed. He looked down and saw that Uncle Xie Fang was still kowtowing there, so he waved impatiently: "Get up, do your job well, it is better than kowtowing ten thousand heads!"

Uncle Xie Fang got up with gratitude and kept thanking him, and then swollen his forehead and patted his chest to ensure that the peace talks would be done well.

Li Zong liked this kind of minister who was not strong but servile, and when he saw Uncle Xie Fang was embarrassed and swore allegiance, he felt comfortable. He felt better. He felt better. He actually smiled: "When it comes to peace talks, Zhao Aiqing, the Privy Council is going to issue a document to Sichuan, and reminded Wang Kui that he could just guard Hanzhong and not cause any trouble to the north. It is important to know that although Hanzhong won a great victory, he would not be able to win in the future. Once he was defeated, he would lose all the money. He would regret it at that time. Although it is said that to promote peace talks with war, it would force Mongolia to break up and stop discussing peace talks. In the end, the court would suffer a loss."

Zhao Kui was lowering her head and thinking about how to do the reward to cover everything. She was not wary of Li Zong calling him again, and was shocked and complained.

Everyone knows the situation in Hanzhong. It is a great place. The direction of the Qinling Mountains is as stable as Mount Tai. The northern barbarians in the Hanzhong River Valley are everywhere. It is an excellent time to take the opportunity to expand the results of the war. Even the nerds who read books in the court know each other, let alone the generals who know the soldiers. In the good news, Wang Kui, the commander of Sichuan, proposed the idea of ​​taking advantage of the opportunity of the Mongols to reclaim Henan. If the time is right, even Hebei can stretch one foot in. Once this idea is implemented, then the long-cherished wish of reclaiming the two capitals and Kaifeng is still not a dream.

In the court and the country, some people have compared Wang Kui to Yue Fei, who praises him and expresses his merits. His reputation and popularity have surpassed many famous figures. In time, they may become famous generals like Meng Gong and Shi Song.

But the Song Dynasty did not need famous generals, only obedient military generals.

Zhao Kui was born in the army and was able to take the position of Privy Councilor. On the one hand, he relied on his own ability, and on the other hand, he was inseparable from forming good civil officials and trying his best to integrate into the circle of civil officials to get their recommendations.

He was very clear about the court's views and attitude towards foreign officials, and also knew the emperor's profound meaning and calculations. Yue Fei's unjust death was inevitable, but the Song Dynasty would never have only one unjustly death Yue Fei. If he was disobedient, there would be many more.

Emperor Gaozong urged Yue Fei to withdraw his troops. If Wang Kui is disobedient, he might have even given thirteen gold medals.

It doesn't matter if he gives the gold medal, it was given by the emperor, but now Lizong doesn't want to be Gaozong, so he wants Zhao Kui to be Qin Fu.

This is very hurtful.

Zhao Kui doesn't want to be this bad guy.

Lizong asked the Privy Council to issue this document instead of ordering it with the order, which clearly stated that he wanted to turn the blame. In the future, the public opinion was boiling and the public was excited. Lizong could twist his head: It was Zhao Kui, the Privy Council’s idea.

Zhao Kui looked at Du Fan and the You Guy, hoping that the two prime ministers would say something. The two of them would not look at him, one looked down at the ground and the other looked up at the sky.

Without any help, Zhao Kui sighed and bowed: "I obey the order!"

...

Wang Kui, who rushed to Jincheng from Chengdu, naturally didn't know what happened in Lin'an. He was happily watching the seized Mongolian war horses.

In the battle of the river valley, people were rolling, but the Song army captured many of them, captured thousands of Han soldiers, hundreds of soldiers, and piled up military weapons into mountains, and hundreds of the most precious war horses were also hundreds of them.

People who play guns and sticks naturally love horses. Wang Kui rode a black horse and ran back and forth for a meal outside Jincheng. He was reluctant to leave. While patting the horse's shiny mane, he praised: "Good horse! If our cavalry also had such horses, why worry about the immortality of the Northern Barbarians!"

Changsun Hong handed him a face towel and said with a smile: "Sichuan is not a place for raising horses, and horse breeding is not good. If you want to get a good horse, you have to find a fertile horse farming field with water plants."

Wang Kui's face was covered in sweat. He took the sweat towel and wiped it. He agreed: "Yes, Sichuan is good everywhere. Even if there is no good place to raise horses, the meadows on the mountains can produce small Sichuan horses. Yunnan horses are much worse than Mongolian horses."

Speaking of this, he smiled silently and said to Changsun Hong: "What does second brother mean is he wanting to force Hebei?"

"Or it's okay to go out of Qinling Mountains and enter Guanzhong, it depends on what the elder brother thinks." Changsun Hongdao.

"Shi Tianze has not yet surrendered. Liu Heima has many under his command. He is still under his command after he dies. Although Guanzhong, Hebei is in chaos, his foundation is still there. If you attack rashly, you may not be sure to win." Wang Kui threw the sweat scarf to his personal guard and said while walking with Changsun Hong.

"Brother is thinking well, but he has no leader, so he always has the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. The key is to see what the court thinks. It is not enough to rely on the troops of our town alone." Changsun Hongdao.

Wang Kui exhaled and exhaled heavily: "It's been a while since the victory was delivered. I guess I'm here in Lin'an now. What would you do if the court will react?"

The two of them walked side by side with their hands behind their backs. From time to time, there were soldiers riding horses whizzing by, raising waves of smoke and dust. The captured war horses were handed over to Liu Zheng's cavalry camp on the spot. He was training day and night with his subordinates, and seized time to get familiar with the horse-control skills.

Changsun Hong turned his eyes to the cavalry team that was dominating and shook his head: "Everyone celebrates together, but also worried."

"What do you mean?" Wang Kui blinked.

"I am of course happy to win the battle. There are many people who are eager to expel the Northern Territory and return to the north. When I learned that Hanzhong had recovered and another chief was defeated, I believe everyone would be happy. However, according to the nature of the officials and the big bosses in the court, they would inevitably be worried about the Mongols' revenge and attack, and rushed to negotiate peace, but they were afraid that the messengers of the peace would set off a few minutes earlier than our good news, so they were worried." Changsun Hong explained.

"Why do you do something big?" Wang Kui couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "What you said is the same as I thought."

"So, after we get Hanzhong, we should be happy secretly. After all, we have to plan other places. It is almost impossible without the court mobilizing troops to cooperate." Changsun Hong did not sigh, but turned his head and looked west: "If you want to think about a good horse, you have to find another way."

"Oh?" Wang Kui followed his gaze and looked to the west. It was the direction of Hanzhong. The river valley was quiet, like a winding corridor leading to the depths of the mist.

"If we don't attack the Mongolians, if we change to fight, the court will not care about us."
