Chapter 464: The Imperial Court’s Countermeasures
Cai Jing was stunned. Of course he had not considered the lives of these people.
He chuckled and asked: "Then Lord Shen, do you have any good opinions?"
"Master, do you have any good suggestions?"
Zhao Ji looked at Zhuge Shenhou hopefully. The person he trusted most in the court was Zhuge Shenhou.
For Cai Jing, he has to use it. He has always wanted to weaken Cai Jing's strength, but there are too many comrades of Cai Jing in the court, and he cannot deal with Cai Jing in a short time. Therefore, he can only continue to support Zhuge Shenhou and Liumen .
"Officials, Master Cai's suggestion is actually not wrong, but it still needs to be improved. While sending envoys, we must also be prepared. Once the four countries refuse to stop, we should be prepared so as not to defeat the enemy. There is no preparation for attacking the city."
Zhuge Shenhou said.
"Oh? So the master thinks it's time to send reinforcements now?"
Zhao Ji asked.
"The only way to promote peace is through fighting. Otherwise, blindly giving in will make them look down on us, the Song Dynasty."
Zhuge Shenhou said.
"Master, this is an alliance of four countries. How can we, the Song Dynasty, be their opponent? If the war expands, Master, can you bear this responsibility?"
A civil servant jumped out and pointed at Zhuge Shenhou and asked.
Zhuge Shenhou glanced at this person and recognized that this person was one of Cai Jing's lackeys. His eyes flashed with a deep light and he said slowly: "I, Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, single-handedly established After traveling thousands of miles, is the powerful enemy he faces weaker than the Four Nations Alliance?"
"Taizu, with his extraordinary resourcefulness, created the foundation of the Song Dynasty."
"Now, if you just encounter a little disaster, you will mess up your position, so how can you talk about defending against the enemy."
Having said this, Zhuge Shenhou's voice gradually became more passionate, and his eyes swept across the officials behind Cai Jing.
"As for whether the Song Dynasty is still in chaos, I, Zhuge Xiaohua, will protect the Song Dynasty as long as I am still alive. Anyone who dares to betray the country will be killed."
When the civil servant heard Zhuge Shenhou's passionate words, he immediately retreated.
Zhuge Shenhou promised a thousand pieces of gold, and he also knew it.
Moreover, he did not dare to bet that even if Zhuge Shenhou killed him, the current officials would not do anything to him.
Cai Jing's other henchmen did not dare to step in. Cai Jing frowned slightly, but did not argue.
Without absolute certainty, he would not take action easily.
Besides, this army really destroyed the Song Dynasty, and it did him no good.
When Zhao Ji became the emperor, he would be the prime minister. But if the Song Dynasty was destroyed, he would be a surrendered minister. Not to mention wanting to get a high official position, it would be good to survive by then.
Therefore, although Cai Jing and Zhuge Shenhou did not deal with each other, they still agreed on external issues.
In fact, some people have always suspected Cai Jing and investigated Cai Jing, but there is no evidence that Cai Jing is traitorous.
However, even if he is not a traitor, he is still a traitor, and all the righteous people in the court would like to eat his flesh, drink his blood, and break his bones.
After Zhao Ji heard this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart. He stood up, looked at Zhuge Shenhou and said, "I deeply appreciate what the Taifu said. This time, the matter of dealing with the armies of the four countries will be handled by the Taifu. No one can stop it.”
"Don't worry, officials. I will definitely be able to repel the four-nation coalition."
Zhuge Shenhou bowed slightly.
After the dynasty, Zhuge Shenhou returned to Shenhou Mansion, where the four famous arresters had been waiting for him for a long time.
After seeing Zhuge Shenhou return, they first bowed respectfully, and then Tie Shou asked: "Master, are you discussing the four-nation alliance today?"
Zhuge Shenhou glanced at the four of them and said, "Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise the officials would have been deceived by them again."
"By the way, have you found out the real reason why they attacked our country this time?"
Zhui Ming said: "I found it, it seems to be the Mongols. Two disciples of the Mongolian National Master colluded with the Five Poison Sect and the Murong Family to destroy the Quanzhen Sect, but were blocked by Xiao Feng and Lu Chen. Qiu Zhenren didn't want his life to be ruined. , so they let them go. Now it seems that Qiu Zhenren’s good deed has really fed the dog.”
"Qiu Zhenren also did it for the people of the Song Dynasty, but he forgot that these Mongolians have no etiquette and morality."
Zhuge Shenhou sighed.
"What do the officials plan to do?"
Qing Qing asked.
Zhuge Shenhou said in a deep voice: "Although the official family has full authority to deal with it, the official's character is easily affected. This matter must be handled quickly, otherwise things will change sooner or later."
"According to the information we have received, the number of the four-nation coalition this time should be around 700,000. There are also hundreds of thousands of civilians, known as two million. It is not difficult to repel them, especially from these countries. Among them, some martial arts experts have entered the army, and it is not difficult for them to kill soldiers. "
Wuqing said with a solemn expression.
These martial arts masters may face a dead end when facing a large army, but they are good at assassination. They often sneak into the army at night to assassinate the general. Once the general dies, the army will be in chaos and there will be no strength to resist.
What's even more annoying is that a large part of these martial arts masters came from the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. They were bribed by these countries with huge sums of money and turned against their own people.
"The officials don't want to start a head-on war, and my teacher also thinks so. With the current national strength of the Song Dynasty, it is difficult to defeat one country, let alone four countries."
Zhuge Shenhou shook his head slightly. He knew very well that with the current strength of the Song Dynasty, it was impossible to deal with the four-nation coalition. Now he could only dispatch the army and send envoys to the front lines to negotiate.
"By the way, how is Lu Chen?"
Zhuge Shenhou suddenly asked.
Iron Hand, Chasing Life, and Lengxue all shook their heads. How could they know how Lu Chen was doing? They were so busy during this period that they had no time to pay attention to Lu Chen.
Qing Qing said: "He should have returned to Gusu City."
Zhuge Shenhou nodded and said: "This matter also has something to do with him, and he is also responsible. You and Zhui Ming will go to Gusu City and ask him to take action."
"It is not convenient to take action in the realm of gods and humans. The Mongolian master Jinlun Dharma King has great martial arts and is very powerful, but he has not broken through to the realm of gods and humans. Let Lu Chen meet him for a while."
"it is good!"
Nodding ruthlessly.
Chasing Life and Qing Wu didn't waste any time. They packed up and headed to Gusu City, but they saw Ji Yaohua who had been waiting for a long time at the gate of the city.
"Why are you here?"
Seeing Ji Yaohua, Qingqing asked expressionlessly.
Ji Yaohua looked at Wuqing, smiled, and said, "I have guessed that the Lord Shen would definitely send you to Gusu City to invite Lu Chen, so I have been waiting for you here."
Zhui Ming said in surprise: "Miss Ji, you are really the roundworm in our master's belly. You can even guess what the old man is thinking. You are really amazing."
He said, raising his thumb.
