Yuwen Xuzhong nodded slightly, then thought for a moment and sighed, obviously thinking of some consequences after the loss of Wuguan.
Soon, Wang Boyan, Xu Jingheng, Zhang Jun and Wang Yuan arrived one after another. After a while, Prime Minister Lu, who had been extremely busy recently, also arrived. It was a rare occasion for the important officials and senior officials of the imperial court to get together again, so it could be regarded as an informal government meeting.
When Scholar Kobayashi waited until Prime Minister Lu arrived, he ignored Liu Yan's reminder at the hint of Emperor Zhao's eyes and only mentioned the glorious deeds of Monk Zong Yin, without saying much else.
When the gentlemen heard this, they naturally felt emotional.
"In that case, wouldn't it be a pipe dream to annihilate this group?" It is said that Wang Boyan, the minister, had recently communicated with several monks who were driven out of the temple. His words unconsciously had a Zen meaning. He stomped his feet repeatedly when he heard this, as if he had suffered a great loss. "Wuguan Pass is empty. This person can easily return to Guanzhong from there and join Wanyan Loushi."
"If you don't want to fight him, then don't fight him." Xu Jingheng, Xu's husband, seemed relieved. "It's fine if you don't want to fight him, just let him go... The place is in a mess, it's time to clean it up."
"Well!" Lü Haowen, who has been in good spirits recently, is the Prime Minister in practice. After a little thought, he nodded repeatedly. "Actually, this is also good."
Zhao Jiu opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say... Because judging by the attitude of these gentlemen right now, if Wanyan Yinshu really raided the city, wouldn't they panic and abandon the city?
When he thought of this, Emperor Zhao instinctively looked at a few young ministers.
However, the performance of these people at this time was somewhat disappointing. Zhang Jun only looked at Liu Ziyu, as if he was worried with only a half-understanding, but he really didn't understand the situation, so he just wanted to get a definite message and a reminder; and Xiaolin scholar was no longer as proud as before, and he didn't even have the deep attitude of the past. After saying a few words, Yutang scholar who knew the inside story became a little dazed and detached, which made people suspicious...
Of course, considering that he was a scholar who rode back and forth on horseback all night to deliver the message, it was not easy to force him to do anything. He was the one who deserved the most leniency at the moment.
Then he looked at Liu Ziyu. It was obvious that this young official who grew up in a military camp and experienced almost the entire Jin-Liao war was also obviously a little disappointed with these people... Even though he had just reminded Zhao Jiu that as an official, if he really wanted to play a role in the military, the best way was to restrain certain people from interfering in military affairs.
Seeing that no one was saying anything, Zhao Jiu was about to send these people away and get away with it.
However, at this moment, a person who was ignored by Emperor Zhao suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you a question. Since Wuguan Pass is vacant, why did Wanyan Yinshuke retreat to the west so easily? If I were Yinshuke, I could have conquered Dengzhou and plundered Nanyang before leaving! I could even turn around and use the advantage of the cavalry to find a battle. If I can win, then win. If I can't win, then it's not too late to leave, right? Anyway, we can't catch up."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Wang Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Camp. They all fell silent... It was obvious that most people here did not trust Wang Yuan politically, but they still had some trust in him militarily.
After a moment, Lu Haowen's face was as gloomy as water. He opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly seemed to think of something and turned around in surprise: "Who is Yin Shu? Isn't it Ni Chuhe?"
Emperor Zhao and Liu Ziyu looked at each other and thought to themselves that something was wrong.
"Let me tell you, Mr. Lu, that I have been collecting the documents of the rebels in Caizhou these days, and I have also asked about some things..." Wang Yuan hurriedly reported. "That Ni Chuhe is a false rumor, the man here is Yin Shuke, a general of the Jin royal family who captured the Liao Emperor Tianzuo and Xi Wang Xiamo alive and participated in the battle of Taiyuan! Today, I am thinking about whether I should compile a proper translation book of the Jin people to set the record straight!"
Lu Haowen was immediately shocked.
"Who cares if he has gold or silver magic!" Emperor Zhao suddenly said. "We have tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in front of us. Are we still afraid of him? As for Dengzhou and Nanyang, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate... Anyway, I have already sent Banzhi to tell Han Shizhong and Wang De about this matter. As veterans, they have their own judgment."
"The emperor has made such appropriate arrangements, but I was overthinking it." Wang Yuan felt something was wrong and quickly bowed his head in response.
"Yes, it is a merit for you to concentrate on your translation booklet!" Emperor Zhao became more and more annoyed.
"We should have told Han Shizhong and Wang De earlier." At this time, Yuwen Xuzhong, who had not spoken for a long time but had had direct communication with the nobles of the Jin army, suddenly spoke. "Because Wanyan Yinshuke is an extraordinary person, he is good at using cavalry and often has unexpected actions... Some people say that Emperor Tianzuo of Liao and Xi Wang Xiamo were captured by Wanyan Loushi. This is certainly true, but in fact, since the Jin army started its army, Yinshuke has often been Loushi's subordinate and deputy general, and the two often fought together. So if you look closely, Emperor Tianzuo and Xiamo were actually captured by Yinshuke in a raid, and he can be called a famous general. As for the battle of Taiyuan, this person followed Loushi to destroy the main force of the Western Army of 200,000, and his troops can also be called good in combat. Therefore, I think that according to his past experience, since he has no worries, he may not go to Dengzhou at all, but may go to Caizhou to spy on the real situation! Please take precautions early!"
The other gentlemen and Zhang Jun were all panicked.
Seeing this, Zhao Jiu, who was sitting cross-legged, sighed slightly, but turned around and asked seriously: "Prince Yuwen, you only know that Yin Shuke captured Emperor Tianzuo and Xi Wang Xiamo alive, and you also know that Yin Shuke made great contributions in the battle of Taiyuan. Do you know how he captured those two people alive? And how did he fight the battle of Taiyuan?"
