Bastard’s Resurgence

Chapter 969: Delicate balance?

Song Wensong was very annoyed at Huainan's failure to use troops for the first time. After returning, he severely reprimanded his generals, and then he discussed the matter with Di Qinghai.

Di Qinghai said: "My lord, this time the failure to use troops is really frustrating. When it comes to the first reason, we are too underestimating the enemy. The Sun Clan of Huainan has definitely declined over the years, thinking that they are already vulnerable! In fact, they can stay in Huainan. For so long, even Lu Zheng had coveted Huainan, but in the end, the Sun clan was still able to dominate in that area. He really has his own way of survival. We despise them!

There is another point. Lu Zheng is secretly putting pressure on us. This guy is too cunning. He lets Kuangzi move around and makes us feel threatened at any time. He will make you suffer without a single soldier. Hey! "

Song Wensong also felt very depressed, and said, "What should we do now? We were in a bad situation, and now we have encountered setbacks again. It is really worse! For this plan, we have to find a way to survive!"

Di Qinghai smiled and said: "Lord, don’t worry. Everyone like the Sun family thinks that the declining giants are so difficult to deal with. We have 100,000 horses in Shandong. If Lu Zheng really wants to tear our face with Shandong, we will be defeated. We do not happen overnight.

Besides the great chaos in the world, our Shandong is on one side, we have encountered an offensive, and other forces have lost their lips and teeth. Lu Zheng may not be able to succeed! "

Song Wensong frowned and said, "It is said that, but the mood is really uncomfortable. We have lost our best chance. Are we going to attack for the second time now?"

"Of course not. Now we have to make an alliance with Long Zhaohuan and let Long Zhaohuan take Huaiyang, so that we can show our sincerity!"

Song Wensong raised his brows and said, "Let Huaiyang be handed over to Long Zhaohuan? This...this is something we can't afford to lose in Shandong! Huaiyang is a land of fish and rice, and my Shandong is short of food. Let it go, how can I..."

"Haha!" Di Qinghai laughed and said, "Master, don't worry, we can't hold Huaiyang, let alone Long Zhaohuan! Long Zhaohuan's Nanfu Army can also be regarded as an army?

They are fighting against the Huaiyang Army, and they are afraid that they will end up worse than us. Not only can they not win Huaiyang, but they may also lose their own territory! "

Di Qinghai said, "In fact, Lord, have you ever thought about it? It is not us who really cares about Huainan, but Lu Zheng! If Huainan is lost, there will be a connection between us and Jiangnan!

We are forming an alliance with Long Zhaohuan, respecting Long Zhaohuan as your majesty, Long Zhaohuan is even the righteous Emperor Dakang! Lu Zheng became a thief of the rebellion, and he was in a morally weak position, even if he had a strong force in his hand?

If the people in the world do not return to their hearts, they may fail when they turn around. This is the thorn in Lu Zheng's heart! Therefore, if Long Zhaohuan attacked Huaiyang, he could use the same method to make people cross Henan and threaten Jiangnan in the back, so that Jiangnan army would not dare to fight in Huaiyang. How could Huaiyang take it? What? "

Di Qinghai talked freely, and gradually got the point of the matter. Song Wensong's frowning brows slowly stretched out. To tell you the truth, he has been dormant for so long. This time, he was full of force against Huainan. Rushing, but he never thought that he would not take Huainan when he went out in person. At this time, he can imagine the frustration in his heart.

But fortunately, Di Qinghai now gave him a plan to stabilize his position, and immediately he did not hesitate to revise Jiangnan's book and let Jiangnan Long Zhaohuan take the Huainan Road.

Speaking of Jiangnan, Long Zhaohuan was watching the battle in Jinling. Originally, he was a little bit worried about the transfer of Huainan Road to Shandong. After all, after he formed an alliance with Shandong, he hoped to rely on Jiangnan’s resources to restrict Shandong and make Shandong obey. He gave orders so that he Long Zhaohuan truly became a veritable majesty.

But after Huainan Road was given to Shandong, Shandong could reduce its dependence on Jiangnan, and there was no buffer between Jiangnan and Shandong. Once Song Wensong coveted Jiangnan, he could send troops across the river at any time, so Jiangnan would be safe to defend!

Well now, Song Wensong defeated Huainan Road, Long Zhaohuan was really secretly happy! Now he has waited for Song Wensong’s two copies, one is Song Wensong’s respect for Long Zhaohuan as His Majesty. He himself proclaimed that from now on, Shandong will respect Long Zhaohuan as His Majesty and respect Long Zhaohuan as His Majesty the Emperor of Dakang. .

Moreover, Song Wensong agreed to transport the coffin of Emperor Xin De to Jinling and bury Xin De Emperor in Jinling Emperor's Tomb. This move made Long Zhaohuan very happy and satisfied.

Then Song Wensong’s second Zhezi was to let the court send troops to attack Huainan Dao. In the Zhezi, Song Wensong said very politely. He first counted the dozens of crimes against the Sun Clan of Huainan Dao, and then he said that he was planning to take Huainan. Dao shared the worries for His Majesty, but Sun's cunning, and more importantly, the Two Rivers thief Lu Zheng coveted Shandong and made Kuangzi attack frequently at the Shandong border, which made Song Wensong lose his merits.

Song Wensong is now unable to go south, hoping that the court can send troops to sweep the Huainan Road, so that Shandong and Jiangnan can be linked together. From then on, Dakang will have the convenience of north-south communication and can deal with Lu Zheng's rebels safely and worry-free.

After receiving the two copies of Song Wensong's Zhezi, Long Zhaohuan greatly admired the first Zhezi Long Zhaohuan, and immediately decreed that Song Wensong was made the king of Shandong, given his grain of 50,000 shi, and a thousand liang of gold, and invited Song Wensong to go south to Jinling.

Regarding Song Wensong’s second copy, Long Zhaohuan summoned the six officials to discuss, and someone said: "Your Majesty, be careful, Huainan Dao has always respected your Majesty. At this time, we have no reason to send troops to destroy them!

We form an alliance with Shandong, and we can also form an alliance with Huainan Road. So why don't we worry about prosperity? "

This statement was quickly refuted by his colleagues, because now Song Wensong is not in alliance with Jiangnan, but he respects Jiangnan Long Zhaohuan as the emperor, and Long Zhaohuan is also the emperor of the people of Shandong! Under this circumstance, how can the Sun family of Huainan Road show their loyalty if they do not enter the Jinling tribute?

Also, if Song Wensong got into trouble, and Long Zhaohuan didn't send troops, how would Song Wensong think about Jiangnan? Could it be that Jiangnan really has no strength, can't take Huaihuainan?

Huainan cannot last, if Long Zhaohuan doesn't take it today, it will definitely take it for others in the future. At that time, no matter which force took the Huainan Road, it would not be a good thing for Jiangnan!

For a while, the ministers couldn't argue about this issue, which really made Long Zhaohuan feel a headache. In the end, he could only temporarily put it aside, and then he went back to the palace.

After returning to the palace, he kept thinking about this matter. After thinking about it again and again, he still felt that this matter could not be decided hastily, so he immediately approached Dong Yong and asked Dong Yong to see what to do at this time.

Dong Yong did not serve as an official in the court, but has been practicing Taoism in the inner palace. He has a special status. He usually lives deep and never interacts with strangers, so his status is quite detached.

Long Zhaohuan respected him very much, and only asked him to go out and listen to his opinions on important matters.

Dong Yong listened to Long Zhaohuan’s words, and he thought over and over again: “Song Wensong really has an expert under his hand. Song Wensong is expected to let His Majesty go down and take the Huainan Road. It will inevitably be difficult to obtain, so he deliberately gave it to His Majesty. Let the Jiangnan Army be defeated once!"

Long Zhaohuan was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly said, "Why did Mr. Dong say this? Why can't I defeat the Huainan Army? The Sun has already hurt the vitality, so we should be very stable when we go to Huainan Road again!"

Dong Yong shook his head and said: "Song Wensong's excuses are not credible. This person is cunning. He must have detected that the Huainan Army is not easy to deal with. Otherwise, why didn't he take the Huainan Army in one go?

Is it possible that after your Majesty has taken the Huainan Road, he still has no interest? Shandong is a very cramped place. Song Wensong has not dared to act rashly for so many years. This time he was holding back and wanted to take Huainan, because after taking Huainan, he had a granary. It was no more than a drought for him. ! Under such circumstances, he personally led the troops to attack Huainan Road but was defeated. What can we do if the Jiangnan Army goes to Huainan at this time? "

Long Zhaohuan thought that what Dong Yong said was really like that, and Dang even asked: "Then what should we do according to Mr.'s plan? Don't I respond to Song Wensong's zhezi? Song Wensong just expressed loyalty to me, if I don't Will giving a response chill his heart, so that everyone in the world feels that I am a mean person?"

Dong Yong laughed and said, "How difficult is this? Your Majesty only needs to send an envoy to Huainan Road and make three requests to Sun Clan. The request is for the Sun Clan to send someone to Jinling! If the Sun Clan agrees to these three requirements, then Huainan Road will be my Dakang territory from now on, the same as Shandong, how can we attack Huainan?"

Long Zhaohuan thought that this was true, but he asked worriedly: "Mr.'s strategy is indeed very high, but what if Sun does not know how to promote and refutes my face?"

Dong Yongdao: "The Sun Clan of Huainan Dao has now become a frightening bird. Your Majesty, you know that they have had antagonisms with Lu Zheng a long time ago. On Lu Zheng's side, they have no way of peace. Now they have just fought against Shandong, and the two sides are still hostile. !

If they don’t accept your Majesty’s offer, then they will be surrounded by powerful enemies on three sides. Although the Sun family has been declining in recent years, their family is not a family of fools. If they can stand for so many years, they will naturally survive. The way!

So, if your majesty can take the initiative to encroach on them, they will definitely be able to obey your majesty's orders and obediently obey..."

Long Zhaohuan carefully complimented Pin Dong Yong’s remarks. He felt that Dong Yong’s treatment was really wonderful, so that not only could it be recognized by Huainan Dao without any effort, but more importantly, it could also allow Huainan. Tao and Shandong maintain a delicate balance. Since then, hasn't the country been more stable?
