Chapter 1921: The Great Song Barriers
Pei Dazhuang's death was beyond the expectations of Sancai. He did not expect that the Seljuks would do so terrible. He would rather make the Song Dynasty suspicious than kill Pei Dazhuang to silence him.
But all this was unexpected by Zhao Zhen, and he sighed and looked at Sancai and said, "Pei Dazhuang's death is reasonable. He may be the result of the stupidity of your Imperial City Department. If he had put the transaction location on the street market from the beginning, he would not have been today."
Sancai frowned slightly and said, "Official family, aren't they afraid that we will doubt if they killed Pei Dazhuang?"
"Suspicion? What do you doubt? Who is Pei Dazhuang? He is just a servant in Xiang Yan's family, but he disappeared and disappeared. Who would care? If he cares, there must be a problem! If no one cares about it, it means that we don't know the news that Pei Dazhuang heard. The Seljuks would not leave such a big disaster. This is a trick to kill two birds with one stone!"
"Official, what do you mean is to ignore it for now?"
"Don't worry about it for now. After the news is passed, I'll take away all these fucking dogs!"
"I obey the order!"
Sancai nodded and left quickly. For him, Pei Dazhuang was a damn person, but he had made meritorious service. His family had already settled down, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to enjoy all this.
Originally, he had asked him for an appointment at the Imperial City Department, but now it seems that there is no need to be such a problem, but as long as the news is passed to the Seljuks.
Zhao Zhen sat on the corner tower, without intending to leave. Sancai stepped forward and said, "The official affairs have been settled. You should go back to the palace. This place is quite simple and has insulted your holy body."
Zhao Zhen curled his lips, "I am relieved to do your business, but I have to watch the Seljuk people pass the news. This matter is of great importance and there is no need to lose money!"
Sancai nodded and stopped talking. He knew how big the matter was, not just about the use of troops on the front line of the Song Dynasty, but also about the future trend of the world.
Although he didn't know what the future of the world was, he knew that Zhao Zhen attached great importance to this matter.
The person who left the Battenna Hall was not Pei Dazhuang but a Han citizen who had never seen before. At this time, Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Seljuks had passed the news.
The footsteps of "thump" sounded. The person who went upstairs this time was Fan Zhongyan. Sancai didn't even raise his head when the outsiders arrived. He knew that the person coming must be the people around the emperor, otherwise he would not be able to pass the guards alone.
Since Zhao Zhen was assassinated, the defense work around him has become more meticulous, and idlers are simply unable to get close to him.
"The official plan has been half completed. I just need to wait and see the changes, and the attack of the frontline soldiers..."
Zhao Zhen pulled Fan Zhongyan's arm and asked him to sit down before speaking, "Mr. Fan, although the fish have bitten the hook, my attack in the northwest cannot be relaxed."
Looking at Fan Zhongyan and Sancai on the side, Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "If you want to do a full set of plays, the Seljuk people invested a large number of elite slave cavalry to stabilize the situation. At this time, they received news that our Song Dynasty would join forces with the Qin Dynasty to send troops at the same time, and attack Seljuk from both sides. At this time, what will happen if our Song army's offensive suddenly weakens?"
Fan Zhongyan said in surprise, "I think this is my Song Dynasty already had plans!"
Bang!
Zhao Zhen slapped and said, "Yes! So at this time, the battle situation in the northwest not only needs to be beaten fiercely, but also needs to be beaten fiercely, which makes the Seljuk people feel so painful that they have to ask for peace from the Song Dynasty. Only when I, the Song Dynasty fully controls the initiative, can peace talks be able to grasp a lot of benefits!"
Fan Zhongyan frowned and said, "Will the seized land be done here?"
Zhao Zhen smiled, "Mr. Fan, you are my prime minister and the prime minister of a country. You have already made up your mind. Why should you keep me in front of me? I plan to use an imperial decree to reward you for your performance in autumn this time!"
Fan Zhongyan was used to Zhao Zhen seeing through everything, and nodded with a bitter smile and said, "The old minister is stupid, and he believes that all the land in the northwest of Hengluo should be abandoned, and the army should withdraw from Hengluo City and Iron Gate Pass!"
"Mr. Fan?"
Sancai couldn't help but scream at the side, but it attracted Fan Zhongyan's most sharp eyes. He forgot that Fan Zhongyan was the most prestigious political existence in the Song Dynasty except the emperor. Although the prime minister's power was repeatedly divided by Zhao Zhen, the prime minister was with the prime minister!
Zhao Zhen did not react. He had been at the peak of power for too long and did not care about the murderous aura that flashed across Fan Zhongyan.
In fact, Sancai shouldn't have spoken out just now. This is a dialogue between the emperor and the prime minister. According to his behavior just now, it is not an exaggeration to Fan Zhongyan kill him immediately. This is the law of the ancestors of the Song Dynasty.
"Mr. Fan is the same as my thoughts. My Song Dynasty cannot control the vast territory. Even if I force it, it will be like the Anxi Protectorate in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Now the westernmost part of the Song Dynasty has reached Hengluo City. This is a place that can be held in my hands. There is no need to go northwest, which will only increase worries and defense."
Fan Zhongyan nodded while listening, and finally said, "Your Majesty, I think the Huatshumo model is different. I can't want the land of Huatshumo, but Huatshumo has to restore the country... Using this as a barrier, if the wolf ambitions in the northwest dare to provoke my Song Dynasty, Huatshumo can become the first line of defense for my Song Dynasty!"
This idea was beyond Zhao Zhen's expectations, but he soon understood what Fan Zhongyan meant, "You mean to distribute the land from Xihong River to Puhualuo to Huashuzimo, and use the Song Dynasty as a backing to assist Huashuzimo, making it a barrier for our Song Dynasty... Excellent, excellent!"
What kind of barrier is actually to turn the Huashuzimo into a puppet of the Song Dynasty and hand over the land there to the Huashuzimo people themselves to manage, but the Song Dynasty is the real master there.
Once the war breaks out again, the Huashuzimo will become the first line of defense, and the soldiers of the Song Dynasty can be swayed in. The Huashuzimo, which was originally the springboard of the Seljuks' frontier, has now become the springboard of the Song Dynasty.
The sad thorn model changed from one person's watchdog to another person's watchdog.
He is worthy of being the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. He can easily think of this and make the key points so implicitly, but Zhao Zhen likes...
It is the best thing to support a puppet regime in front of the Song Dynasty. At the same time, the Song Dynasty also stood up in moral terms, and was willing to give up, and only with giving up can one gain!
These two words seem simple, but giving up is the most important thing. It takes great determination to abandon the land that the army attacked and killed. Zhao Zhen did not hesitate at all on this matter.
Fan Zhongyan was extremely impressed. He had imagined how many scenes he was rejected or even scolded by the emperor before, but he did not expect Zhao Zhen to agree so readily.
