Even ants live in silence, let alone humans?

Zhao Zhen is a realist, and in his opinion nothing is more important than life.

The body is the capital of revolution, and if you don’t even have life, you will completely lose the possibility of turning the tables.

But Zhang Jian's suicide made him understand sacrificing himself for justice, and also made him see what helplessness means.

After all, if there were other ways, Zhang Jian would not have chosen such an extreme way to defeat his conspiracy and take revenge on the Song Dynasty.

He also won his reputation during his lifetime and after his death.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen felt that Zhang Jian's suicide was cost-effective and he did not rely on his noble patriotic sentiment at all.

But for the court officials of the Song Dynasty, Zhang Jian's behavior was melodious.

For a time, all the civil officials and military generals who followed Zhao Zhen to the northern expedition were moved, and some even praised Zhang Jian's death in the country and shouted loudly.

Of course, Zhao Zhen would not object to this behavior. After all, it also made the world understand that Zhang Jian committed suicide and had nothing to do with him and the Song Dynasty. However, this behavior made Zhao Zhen quite unhappy.

Compared to Zhang Jian, he felt that he was the victim of indescribable suffering. Everyone knew that Zhang Jian committed suicide and the Song army. After Zhang Jian was defined as a loyal and patriotic gentleman, Zhao Zhen himself would be defined as the opposite of Zhang Jian.

In the eyes of ordinary people, only good and evil can they not consider deeper issues.

The simplest idea is, "If a good person dies, the bad person must have used a trick..."

As an emperor, Zhao Zhen must not be able to come forward to explain, so Zhao Zhen could only allow the civil servants to praise Zhang Jian's behavior.

That's not all. As an emperor, he also had to write an inscription for Zhang Jian himself: "******, *******!"

For a time, this sentence became a sentence that everyone in the world praised Zhang Jian, and also helped Zhao Zhen and the Song Dynasty to a certain extent to remove the "suspicion" that they had not already had.

After all, Zhang Jian died on his way north, and after all, he committed suicide after leaving the Song Dynasty military camp, so it is inevitable that someone will take advantage of it.

But Zhao Zhen's words and the attitude of the Song Dynasty made people believe that Zhang Jian committed suicide, was a manifestation of loyalty to Xiao Tali, and finally the Great Khitan.

Only Zhao Zhen knew that Zhang Jian did not want to be his pawn and did not want to bring his words to Xiao Tali, so he chose to commit suicide.

Zhao Zhen had to admire Zhang Jian's intention, decisiveness, ruthlessness, and caused considerable trouble to the Song Dynasty.

After his behavior was passed to the Khitan, it would definitely become a driving force for the Khitans. Sometimes the nation at the end of its journey is not scary, but what is scary is that the little bit of national spirit can become infinitely huge.

As a master of manipulating national spirit, Zhao Zhentai knew how powerful this invisible and intangible thing was.

With the fall of Shangjing City, the Song Dynasty had pushed its sphere of influence thousands of miles northward.

Basically, the traditional Han civilization has been taken over by the Song Dynasty at the farthest distance.

A small half of the grassland was already pinned in the hands of the Song Dynasty, and the northeast and northwest were all the same.

The largest territory of the Han civilization has been taken down by Zhao Zhen, from the winter solstice to Sakhalin Island, from Henglus City to the west, from Sanfoqi to the south, and from Shangjing to Linhengfu in the north.

The largest territory in this world belongs to the Han civilization and China.

Next, the voices of the people began to appear in the court. Since the capital of Shangjing was taken down by the Song Dynasty and the Khitans had already driven the Khitans to the depths of the grassland, shouldn't they let go?

From Linheng Prefecture and from Linheng Prefecture to the north, it is a barren land! Large areas of grassland, mountains, rivers, and jungles are high at altitudes, which are not suitable for the exhibition and farming of Han civilizations.

But there is a long border line, and a large number of Han men need to station in the border. Who doesn’t know the pain of guarding the border?!

Since the Song Dynasty's old enemy, Khitan, retreated north, the Song Dynasty should stop whenever he wants, give up on conquest, give up the grasslands in the north, guard the capital well, and display it well.

This is the influence of traditional Confucian thought, and the traditional Chinese small peasant thoughts in traditional Han civilization. As long as you protect your own acre and actively defend yourself, the power of a great country can intimidate all the scoundrels.

Not only Zhao Zhen was very dissatisfied with this remark, but Wang Yun, who was the chief of staff of the Northern Expedition, was also very dissatisfied.

Di Qing's army had completely taken over the Western Regions. The Khitans were very smart. They drove the local armed forces in the Western Regions to the battlefield and told them that the Song Dynasty came from the Western Regions rather than the Khitan. If the Western Regions did not resist, the Black Khan would be their future fate.

This forced the timid and fearful Western Regions into a dead end. The Western Regions who were originally seeking survival and seeking survival quickly united.

Because they knew the fate of the Hei Khan people, they would either be driven out of their homes and become slaves from other countries, or they would be slaughtered and would not exist.

Now no one knows Hei Han, he only knows that this is Xinjiang of the Song Dynasty.

The panic of destroying countries and genocide spread throughout the Western Regions, and also forced the people of the Western Regions to fight back against the upcoming "tyranny" of the Song Dynasty.

Di Qing's troops encountered unprecedented resistance, but the ones who resisted them were not the Khitans, but the Western Regions who were originally not capable of fighting online.

No matter how many envoys Di Qing sent to lobby with great sincerity, the final result was that the envoy came back, but he had his ears and noses cut off. The bad ones didn't even come back, and he was hung on the top of the city to "dry".

The anger of the Song army was also aroused by high. The stronger the army, the more noble the self-esteem was. Even if Di Qing knew that it must be the Khitans behind him, he could only surrender to ten times with one force.

The Song army had 400,000 troops and crushed the entire Western Regions in two groups. When the Western Regions sent troops to fight to the death, the Khitans who had originally agreed to fight the Song army with them were no longer visible. It turned out that they had fled in the chaos.

At this time, the Western Regions talents who came to their senses appeared. The Song army's combat effectiveness was amazing. Without the strong support of the Khitans, the Western Regions coalition forces were like using a deflated ball and could not bear to fight again.

But at this time, the Song army was not ruthless. They had suffered a great loss on this land back then, and even the official family was...what, how could they easily let these two-faced and three-sword fences go?

The Song army invaded like fire and did not leave any surrendered prisoners. Although Di Qing wanted to stop him, he was stopped by the army supervisor Wang He.

Wang He was a civil minister and the most influenced by Confucian benevolence. He was a humble gentleman in the army every day, but when the Song army slaughtered prisoners in the Western Regions, he took the initiative to stop Di Qing, who was planning to stop all this.

But his words were very simple: "The people of the Western Regions are stubborn and unscrupulous. When they see the wind, the strong will respect them; if they despise them; if they despise them, the benevolent will bully them. Now they do not shock them with blood, and it is unreliable to wait for them to surrender."

After Wang He said this, Di Qing was already prepared and was pinched into a ball of the head coach's documents and threw them into a bonfire: "You seem elegant and gentleman, but you are actually as cruel as a murderer!"

Wang He was furious and shook his empty sleeve and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense. I am well-read in poetry and books and learn the words of sages. How can I be as crude and vulgar as you said..."

Di Qing pointed at Wang He: "You can make a living even if you go to the actor Wari of the Shendu City!"

"Exceeded!"
