Unexpectedly, Su Huan pondered for a moment and said, "The Dean favors scholars with outstanding talents. As the saying goes, we should promote the virtuous, regardless of our relationships. If you lack talent, I won't help you. But you have a good knowledge. I will show your article to the Dean and see if he is willing to recruit you into the government."
Su Xun was overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much, brother. Thank you very much, brother."
At this moment, a bailiff came in and said, "Mingfu, the new issue of the newspaper is here."
"Show it to me."
Su Huan reached out and took it.
He now subscribes to every issue of the newspaper.
It's not just about keeping up with the latest current affairs, but also because Zhao Jun often writes articles in newspapers.
Therefore, as a person promoted by Zhao Jun, he naturally has to visit from time to time and listen to the teachings of the Dean so that he can better govern the place.
Su Huan glanced at it and slammed the table, saying, "Great! After eighty years of independence, the Great Song finally has a chance to vent its anger."
"oh?"
Su Xun came over quickly and said, "What happened, brother?"
"The Liao people are so arrogant that they dare to ask for benefits after losing the battle. This is really unreasonable. The prefect's refusal is really inspiring."
Su Huan scratched his head and wondered, "There's just one thing I don't quite understand. Although the Prefect has been criticized by some in the court and the public, often impeached on trumped-up charges, he still has many supporters. Why would he reveal his plan to deal with the Liao Kingdom?"
"Let me see."
Su Xun took it and glanced at it.
After a moment, Su Xun pondered for a moment, then said softly: "The director is truly a remarkable person. This is a case of giving back as you would have given them."
"oh?"
Su Huan wondered, "Why?"
"The chancellor probably doesn't want to actually start a war. After all, the newspapers say that if war breaks out, both our enemies and ourselves will suffer devastating losses and commit murder. But if we accept the Liao people's offer of peace, it will inevitably lead to servility and dishonor the national dignity."
Su Xun said in a deep voice, "So the chancellor will not agree to the Liao people's peace talks, but he also does not want to resort to violence unless absolutely necessary. He hopes that the Liao people will retreat."
"Knowing the difficulty and retreating? The Liao people are now like riding a tiger, unable to get off. Will they retreat when they know the difficulty?"
Su Huan said.
Su Xun smiled and raised the newspaper in his hand and said, "This is the way the governor made the Liao people retreat. He told the Liao people directly, I have a plan to deal with you. If you don't want your country to be destroyed, then behave yourself. Otherwise, the Liao Kingdom will surely perish before the Song Dynasty!"
This is an open conspiracy!
Zhao Jun had already written the method in the newspaper, so it was impossible for the Liao spies to not know it.
So what could the Liao Kingdom do when it learned that the Song Kingdom was trying to disintegrate its vassal states and tribes?
Can't do anything.
If you use threats and bribes against those vassal states and tribes, it will only make them more resentful and push them towards the Song State.
You wanted to appease them, so they listened to you and attacked the Song Dynasty. Then they didn't gain any benefits and suffered huge losses. If there is no reward, what can you use to appease them?
Is it still just empty talk?
Even if you paint a big pie in the sky, you still have to see if you can eat it.
Faced with the grenades from the Song Dynasty, these people would no longer believe the sweet words of the Liao people.
It's like a company where you only tell your employees that the future prospects are bright, but not only do you pay them less every month, but you also require them to work overtime 24 hours a day. No employee would be willing to work for you.
No one is a fool.
Therefore, to appease people, you rely on carrots and sticks. If you only have the stick but no corresponding rewards, the end result will be alienation from everyone.
The Liao Kingdom knew this, so it urgently wanted money from the Song Kingdom to appease it.
But now Zhao Jun clearly has a weak spot in the Liao Kingdom.
Let me tell you clearly, if you do not agree to peace talks with the Song Dynasty, then it will depend on whether your vassal states and tribes are willing to follow you in gathering an army of 500,000 and marching south, or are willing to follow the Song Dynasty, which provides money, weapons and equipment, to destroy your Liao Dynasty.
This conspiracy is almost unsolvable!
