Zhao Ji was so frightened by the bloody scenes in the video that his face turned pale as paper and his hands and feet were cold.
Zhang Shixun was afraid of scaring him to death, so he quickly clicked the pause button and reached out to support him.
After a long pause, Zhao Ji finally caught his breath and said with trembling lips, "It's too cruel, too bloody, too barbaric."
Zhao Ji said "too" several times in a row and didn't know what words to use to describe the war in the video.
"Sir, if you are afraid, I will take the Heavenly Book, right?" Zhang Shixun asked tentatively.
"No!" Zhao Ji hurriedly stopped him. He had finally seen the heavenly book, so how could he give up so easily?
Zhang Shixun helped him up and said, "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. The heavenly book shows what happened in other places."
"These are all real things, not dreams?" Zhao Ji stared at the PDA, still feeling a lingering fear.
"Of course it's true, and it's happening right now." Zhang Shixun's expression was very serious.
"God let me see this, is there any warning for it?"
"It all depends on how the officials understand it."
"Then...what does this war that I just witnessed indicate?" Zhao Ji asked worriedly.
Zhang Shixun shook his head and said, "I don't know. Only after reading it completely can we know what the heavenly book reveals."
"Okay! Let's continue watching." Zhao Ji said.
"But the images in the heavenly book are too bloody. Would you...?"
"I'm fine, just open it."
Zhang Shixun reached out to cancel the pause button, and the video continued playing.
Zhao Ji suppressed his discomfort as he watched the videos showcasing the majestic armies and the bloody battle scenes, listening to the ping-pong clash of weapons and the screams and wails of the dying...
Zhao Ji's face was pale and cold sweat was dripping down his cheeks.
At this time, an orc with a ferocious and ugly appearance appeared on the screen.
Zhao Ji trembled suddenly, grabbed Zhang Shixun's sleeve, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is this a demon or monster?"
"They are a kind of half-human, half-beast creature." Zhang Shixun replied.
"Will he...will they attack the...Song Dynasty?" Zhao Ji was already scared.
"Probably not. They are too far away. What we are seeing now is that they are attacking the Western world."
"It's... too scary." Zhao Ji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
After watching the video, Zhang Shixun said, "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Book has been closed."
"The Heavenly Book must be telling me something. Could it be that an enemy wants to attack the Song Dynasty?" Zhao Ji stood up and paced a few steps in the study.
Zhang Shixun did not respond, intending to let him use his own imagination.
"Who would attack the Song Dynasty?" Zhao Ji frowned and muttered to himself.
"...The Xixia people don't have the power. The Liao Dynasty has already been destroyed. The remaining ones..." Zhao Ji suddenly shuddered, "Could it be the Jurchens? Currently, they are the only ones capable of attacking the Song Dynasty, but..."
Damn! You actually hit the nail on the head.
Zhao Ji asked, "Shixun, do you think the Jurchens will attack the Song Dynasty?"
"Hmm! The Jurchens have wicked ambitions. They've already destroyed the Liao Dynasty. Next, they'll likely use their victory to attack the Song Dynasty."
"But the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty have an alliance."
Zhang Shixun asked, "Your Majesty, you are referring to the Maritime Alliance, right?"
"Exactly!"
"Sir, since they are barbarians, don't expect them to take the alliance seriously."
Zhao Ji frowned when he heard this.
Zhang Shixun observed his expression, sneered inwardly, and began to threaten him again: "Your Majesty, although the Liao Dynasty occupies the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, they have enjoyed peace for a long time and have lost their ambition. They pose no threat to the Song Dynasty. The Jurchens, on the other hand, are different. They are barbaric and cruel... Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty and the Jurchens signed the Maritime Alliance. It is naive. They fantasize about joining the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty and thus gain a city or a town. But they have not considered how the Song Dynasty will react if the Jurchens conquer the Liao Dynasty and march south."
"This...will they break the alliance?" Zhao Ji asked.
"If they abide by the covenant, can they still be called barbarians?" Zhang Shixun asked in return.
"This...this...what should we do?" Zhao Ji shuddered at the thought of the terrible consequences of the Jurchens' invasion of the south.
Zhang Shixun looked at him and said word by word, "So, I'm here."
"You?" Zhao Ji looked up at him.
Zhang Shixun said, "Your Majesty, since you have been appointed by Heaven, Heaven will not leave you alone. Therefore, they sent me to help you. I am here to obey Heaven's will."
"Are you a god?" Zhao Ji asked nervously.
"No! Gods cannot interfere in human affairs, otherwise the world will be in chaos." Zhang Shixun answered very straightforwardly.
"So, who are you?"
"If Your Majesty insists on knowing, my answer is: I am an ordinary person."
Zhao Ji asked again: "How can you help me?"
Zhang Shixun said, "I can help you train your troops to resist the Jurchen invasion."
When it came to the army, Zhao Ji began to hesitate, twirling his beard and keeping silent.
Seeing his hesitation, Zhang Shixun sneered in his heart and cursed: It's impossible to support a piece of rotten mud on the wall.
After a long pause, Zhao Ji asked, "How do you want to train your troops?"
"To be cautious, you can select a small number of Imperial Guards as a pilot for training. For example, I am in the First Army of the Right Wing of the Tianwu Army, which has only one or two thousand men. Once the training is complete, Your Majesty will review it. If you are satisfied, then we can fully implement it among the Imperial Guards."
When Zhao Ji heard that there were only a few thousand people, he felt relieved. "That's great! That's great!"
Zhang Shixun said, "Your Majesty, while I am training my troops, please do not let anyone hinder me, especially you, Your Majesty."
