Zhao Huan looked at Bai Shizhong."
"Bai Shizhong, you once asked me to move the capital to the south, but look at what is in front of you. The flag of the Jin soldiers has already been planted on the land of my Great Song, outside the capital. Are we going to watch as the Jin Kingdom flag is planted all over the Great Song?”
Bai Shizhong was extremely ashamed and quickly apologized,""This lowly subject has committed a crime, please punish me, Your Majesty!”
"Bai Shizhong, do you want to leave a bad name for ten thousand years and carry a bad name for ten thousand years? Or do you want to leave your name in history and gain a good reputation?”
Bai Shizhong was not stupid. If he could leave his name in history, he would definitely leave his name in history. If he carried a bad name for thousands of years, it would be a bad name for thousands of years. His descendants would probably not be able to raise their heads.
This multiple-choice question was not difficult to choose. Bai Shizhong quickly replied,""I am willing to follow Your Majesty and serve Your Majesty. I will do my best for the Great Song!”
Li Gang didn't say anything. His attitude towards Bai Shizhong wasn't very friendly.
After all, Bai Shizhong was a famous peace advocate and had a big difference with Li Gang's idea of fighting.
Li Gang did not believe Bai Shizhong's words.
Zhao Huan saw the change in Bai Shizhong and Li Gang's expressions.
It would be strange if a war faction and a peace faction could get together.
But to Zhao Huan, if he wanted to change Great Song's current weakness, he had to win over both the war faction and the peace faction.
The various forces in the Great Song Dynasty were complicated, and they could not be categorized as those who advocated peace or war.
Therefore, Zhao Huan said to Li Gang and Bai Shizhong.
"Li Gang, Bai Shizhong!"
"Yes!" The two bowed.
"I know that the two of you have great differences in your views on governing the country, and neither of you is convinced of the other. But look at what's in front of you. Our Great Song Dynasty is already facing the danger of changing hands and the danger of the country falling apart!”
" Therefore, I hope that you can abandon those unnecessary prejudices and unite as one to work together to change the various shortcomings of the Song Dynasty. We will strengthen the Song Dynasty, recover Yanyun, flatten the Jin Kingdom, and incorporate Mongolia, Dali, and Tubo into the territory of the Song Dynasty. Whether you and I will leave our names in history or our country will be destroyed and our family will be cursed by the world will depend on you!”
Zhao Huan's words were not too harsh, nor did he specify who he was going to punish or reward.
However, it was different in the ears of Li Gang and Bai Shizhong.
They could hear the ambition in Zhao Huan's tone, the determination to restore the Great Song.
Although Bai Shizhong and Li Gang had different ideologies, just as Zhao Huan had said, who wouldn't want to leave their names in history and enjoy eternal fame?
Who would want to be cursed for ten thousand years?
Bai Shizhong and Li Gang bowed deeply to Zhao Huan.""Please rest assured, Your Majesty. We will definitely do our best for Your Majesty's grand ambitions and assist Your Majesty in achieving great achievements!”
Zhao Huan knew that the prejudice between Bai Shizhong and Li Gang would not be completely eliminated in a short period of time.
However, this was not important. It did not matter if there were differences, as long as they were in a controllable state.
"That's good. I also hope that one day, I can plant the flag of my Great Song all over the world and achieve great things with you!”
"We obey your orders!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the troops are retreating, the troops are retreating, the bandits are retreating!”
At this moment, Zhao Ding climbed up the city tower with a happy expression and shouted loudly.
Zhao Huan's face lit up as he asked Zhao Ding,"The Jin bandits retreated?”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The Jin soldiers who attacked the Northwest Water Gate and the Suanzao Gate have retreated. The battle is over!”
Hearing Zhao Ding's words, Zhao Huan noticed that the sound of the Thunderbolt Cannon's firing had indeed stopped.
"Lord Zhao, how many Jin soldiers were there to attack the Northwest Water Gate and Suanzao Gate?”
Zhao Ding thought about it carefully." According to the report from the military academy guarding the city, there are about two thousand Jin soldiers attacking the Northwest Water Gate. There are about four thousand soldiers from the Wild Jujube Sect!”
After hearing Zhao Ding's words, Zhao Huan frowned slightly. He felt that the situation was a little strange.
Li Gang and Bai Shizhong also frowned slightly.
Li Gang thought about it carefully and said to Zhao Huan,
"Your Majesty, this is very strange. If the Jin soldiers really want to attack the city, they will definitely attack from all sides. The Jin soldiers just split up and attacked, and the number of troops was small. According to the shouts at that time, the attack was not strong.”
Hearing Li Gang's analysis, Bai Shizhong suddenly realized something.""Could it be that the Jin soldiers are testing the situation?”
Li Gang nodded with a serious expression.""That's right, this should be Wanyan Zong Wang testing the strength of the city's defense. If I'm not wrong, then the next attack, the Jin soldiers will launch a real fierce attack!”
Hearing Li Gang's words, Zhao Huan's expression turned cold. It was likely that there would be a difficult battle to defend the city.
"Lord Zhao, other than the enemies in North City, are there any traces of the Jin soldiers in the east, west, and south?" Li Gang asked Zhao Ding.”
" I didn't find any trace of Jin Bing!"
"What is this Wanyan Zongwang thinking? Are they planning to split up and attack? Or was it a siege? But attacking a place? Which area will he attack?"
Just as Li Gang and the others were predicting Wanyan Zongwang's military actions.
In Wanyan Zongwang's commander camp, they were also discussing the next step.
Wanyan Zongbi pondered for a while and said his thoughts,
"Deputy Commander, according to the news from the vanguard, if we split up and attack, I'm afraid we won't be able to do anything. Therefore, we should gather our troops and attack one city gate. Only then will we be able to take down Dong Jing City before the Great Song's troops arrive!”
"Deputy commander, I agree with Zong Bi's suggestion. Let's unite the army!"”
Seeing that Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Chang both agreed to attack one place, Wanyan Zongwang finally made up his mind.
"In that case, let's attack Wild Jujube Sect. This place is the closest to the Imperial Palace. As long as we take down Wild Jujube Sect, we can take down the Imperial Palace in one fell swoop.”
"Pass down the order, inform the cooks to prepare the food. Two hours later, the army will attack the Wild Jujube Sect.”
Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Chang received the order.
"Understood!"
