Chapter 985 Master's Pride

Zhao Shu pretended firmly in front of Xiao Dayou!

He felt comfortable all over and was about to fly.

But when I thought of my master, I immediately became trembling and felt agitation. After all, I can brag, but as an emperor, I must do it, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

"Master, what did you say just now?" Zhao Shu said uncertainly.

Wang Ning'an smiled, "The words are domineering, but they are almost there. If His Majesty can give a decisive order, cut Xiao Dayou's head and give it to Yelu Hongji, it will definitely anger him! Maybe the effect is better."

"oops!"

Zhao Shu let out a low voice, slapped his forehead, unable to recover, and immediately said: "Master, now I will issue an order to get the person back and cut off my head?"

"This matter has not been a second time to enter the palace. Does Your Majesty still want to learn from Cao Mengde?"

Zhao Shu smiled silently and said embarrassedly: "Yes, Emperor Wu of Wei is a civilized and martial arts. There are few kings in history who can dominate the world, but the Cao family failed to unify the world, so it is based on Emperor Wu of Wei's mind. Sometimes it is unauthorized to be true to the facts... If you are really confident and face the Hun envoy calmly, you will be self-defeated and be seen through by others. Instead, you will be angry and embarrassed to chase the Hun envoys, which will lose the emperor's dignity."

In front of the master, Zhao Shu was not polite and criticized the characters.

Wang Ning'an smiled, "Your Majesty, is there a third way to deal with this knife-catching?"

"This... I can't think of it!"

Wang Ning'an whispered: "In fact, you can wait for the Xiongnu envoy to return and send someone to give him a generous gift. There is no need for any explanation. Just give gifts and give them every holiday. Within half a year, this Xiongnu envoy will definitely be killed... At that time, people will say that the Xiongnu emperor is ruthless and Emperor Wu of Wei is eager to seek talent. 1"

After listening to the teacher's master trick, Zhao Shu was stunned. After holding it in for a long time, he realized the insidiousness of this move, only one word left: obedience!

Imagine a king from a foreign country who gives gifts to his ministers. What would the emperor think? Even the most generous person would be confused?

With long-term suspicion, it would be strange if nothing happened!

This is the right way, so sinister that there is nothing to say!

Zhao Shu hesitated for a moment, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Master, you are not telling a joke, this is a plan!"

Wang Ning'an laughed, "That's right, since Yelu Hongji sent someone to greet him, we will also send someone to come and give Yelu Ren a big gift first!"

"Master is Master, this move is too ruthless!"

Zhao Shu was very excited and immediately issued an order to send an envoy to Yunzhou to meet Yelu Hongji.

The Song envoy soon met the Khitan emperor, and he was not polite at all. The Song Dynasty is now a proud and confident country.

"Your Majesty the Khitan Emperor, Yunzhou is the homeland of my Han family and the legacy of my ancestors... Now that my Emperor of Song Dynasty has personally raised the heavenly soldiers here, if you want to save your life, you will immediately withdraw from Yunzhou, bow down to your tribute and confess your guilt, and may still have a glimmer of life. If you are brave enough to compete with the heavenly soldiers, you will be burned to death and you will never have a way out!"

All the ministers of the Khitan were so angry!

Good, you, the Song Dynasty, are so arrogant and too disregarded!

"Your Majesty, I think that if I immediately kill this person, I will take his head to sacrifice the flag!"

"Yes, kill him!"

"Kill it! Nothing great!"

...

The Khitan ministers clamored, and the Song envoy didn't care at all, and he laughed wildly.

"Kill me? Come on! My head is here, let you take it... But don't forget that the great soldiers and generals of the Song Dynasty are unstoppable. From His Majesty to the ordinary Khitans, they all paid my life alone. It's worth it!"

Faced with the arrogance of the Song envoy, the Khitan ministers were so angry that they were completely angry.

But Yelu Hongji did not dare to let go. He knew that the gap between the Khitan and the Song Dynasty was too big, especially in the tough battle, there was no chance of winning.

Yelu Hongji had already made plans. He wanted to give up Yunzhou, truly retreat to the grassland, and completely restore his ancestors' lifestyle... No matter how many soldiers and horses there were in the Song Dynasty and how sharp the weapons were, he could not chase the Khitan all over the world. The vast grassland was their natural barrier.

You can no longer be nostalgic for places like Yunzhou.

The prosperity and comfort only belong to the strong, not to the current Khitan!

However, if you want to retreat to the grassland, you must have a good pasture and sufficient horses to deal with the Song Dynasty. Yelu Hongji has chosen Mobei as his future base camp, and what you need to do now is to gain time and migrate war horses.

For this, he can tolerate anything!

"Song envoy, my Great Khitan and the Great Song Dynasty have been friendly for a hundred years. You are so aggressive and too rude... But I think you are the first offender and will not be investigated. I dare not say anything about the ownership of Yunzhou you said. This place was indeed a gift from Shi Jingtang to the Liao Dynasty. It is not impossible for you to take it back, but you can ask your country to take out 5 million stones of grain... As long as the food arrives, I will give you Yunzhou immediately and never break your promise!"

This is a complete lie. Even if you really agree, how long does it take to mobilize 5 million stones of grain? At least a few months, Yelu Hongji has completed the relocation long ago. He can fight if he can fight, and run away if he can't fight. This is a perfect delaying strategy!

But Envoy Song didn't buy it at all!

"Your Majesty is really good at telling jokes... This is my Han land. You have stole other people's territory for more than a hundred years. You have to rent other people's land and property, and you have to pay rent! It is ridiculous that you actually asked your master to pay for food... My Emperor of Song has issued an order, and a million troops are waiting for the battle. If you don't want to withdraw from Yunzhou, my Song Dynasty will drive you away. But by then, the creatures will be tragically damaged and bleeding thousands of miles away. It is not my Song Dynasty's fault."

After saying that, the envoy Song shook his sleeves and took the initiative to say goodbye, leaving behind a group of furious Khitan ministers... But when he left, he sent someone to give the ten carts of gifts he brought to Yelu Renxian, and also sent a letter. You must know that this is a treatment that even Yelu Hongji did not have!

When Yelu Ren was stunned when he received the gift, what is the reason?

He opened the letter and said: The Emperor of the Song Dynasty remembered that Mr. stationed in Yunzhou for many years and was fair in his work, and had no evil deeds to bully the Han people, so he could be called kind and generous. Therefore, please rest assured that even if he took it back to Yunzhou, I, the Song Dynasty, would not treat the Khitans! We must treat the prisoners well.

"It's simply inexplicable!"

Yelu Ren thought for a while before suddenly sweating coldly. There was something wrong with this! He immediately asked to see Yelu Hongji. After facing the king, he felt aggrieved and sank on the ground, "Your Majesty, I have no contact with the Song Dynasty. Please observe clearly!"

Yelu Hongjilang laughed loudly, not caring, "You have always been loyal, how could I not know that the Song people regarded others as fools. How could I be fooled by such a clumsy plan of disagreement! Don't worry, these things are regarded as rewards to you. You have indeed worked hard for the past few years, and I know them well!"

Yelu Renxian was extremely moved, "Thank you for your understanding, I will repay God's kindness if I die!"

The king and his ministers said a thoughtful word for a while. Before leaving, Yelu Hongji suddenly smiled indifferently, "My dear, the firearms of the Song Dynasty are sharp, which is extraordinary. You go down and arrange it and send the livestock and food from Yunzhou to the grassland as well!"

Yelu Ren hesitated a little and nodded immediately... It seems that His Majesty is determined to give up Yunzhou, and his life as a local emperor is finally over.

Forget it, as a major official of the Khitan royal family, he should not care about personal gains and losses. Even if he gives one order, it would be nothing great!

...

"Although the Khitan monarch and ministers were still harmonious at this time, it doesn't matter. The wedge was hit. As long as the pressure was high and the situation was critical enough, they would make trouble, and they could not help!"

Zhao Shu talked about his own views... Since the Battle of Juyongguan, Wang Ning'an has been retreating more and more to the second line, just picking up the leftovers and giving more decision-making power to Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu was also quickly adapting to the changes from emperor to commander.

There are so many things that an excellent commander needs to consider, and 90% of them are very trivial. For example, the original imperial guards wore water bags... But the weather was cold and the water would freeze. When the scout was patrolling, they simply ate the snow on the ground... After Zhao Shu noticed, he ordered that every time the scout went out, he would give him two kilograms of strong liquor. When he was thirsty or cold, he would immediately warm up and be very popular with the soldiers.

In addition, the north is very cold, and soldiers' winter clothes must be light and warm, and must be strong enough.

Zhao Shu noticed that workers in Youzhou like to wear a dark blue cheesecloth. This cloth was originally used to make sails. Later, it was improved and was very popular among workers and was nicknamed "labor cloth".

Zhao Shu asked the quilt factory to make military uniforms with labor cloth, and the best cotton linings, collars, cuffs, etc. were all wrapped in sheepskin, which could protect soldiers' hands, ankles and necks from frostbite... There are countless small things like this. As Wang Ning'an judged, the more modern the army is, the more precious it is, the logistics and supplies are, and there will be no problems, otherwise it will affect combat effectiveness.

In this battle, Wang Ning'an tried to play the role of a good staff officer, and at the same time implemented a staff system in the army at all levels. The general was responsible for fighting with all his might, while the staff officer was responsible for planning and coordinating, handling various trivial matters, and ensuring that the army was in the best state.

After adjusting in Youzhou for almost a month and a half, the entire 30,000 imperial guards have been prepared!

Zhao Shu also changed into ordinary military uniforms. Yes, it was designed by him, with rough labor cloth and sheepskin. Only a small golden dragon was decorated at the collar to show his identity.

After cleaning up, Zhao Shu felt that he seemed much taller, and his aura today was 2.8 meters tall!

"Master, can you send troops?"

Wang Ning'an, who was in the same outfit, nodded with a smile.

The king and his ministers appeared in Changping Camp together. Zhao Shu rode his war horse and ran past the soldiers. Wherever he went, cheers of long live, and the atmosphere of the audience reached its peak!

Zhao Shu returned to the middle, suddenly pulled out the Emperor's Sword and raised it high!

"Soldiers, set off!"

"Set off!"
Chapter completed!
