Song Wensong's situation is now very dangerous. He doesn't have many soldiers in his hands, and the defense pressure in the capital is extremely high. On the other hand, Bingzhou must be defended, because the safety of Bingzhou is related to the safety of the capital.

The last time he came to Bingzhou in person, he shocked Song Wenjie, but he knew very well that it was just a brief shock. There were still many experts in Longyou. If Longyou had been in operation for decades, it would be unrealistic to block Bingzhou by Song Wensong's 30,000 troops alone.

The crisis in Bingzhou will come again sooner or later, and the people in the capital are distorted, and even the prince Long Zhaohuan wants to return south. At this moment, what should Song Wensong do?

Song Wensong was discussing affairs at the General's Mansion, and many of the advisers made a lot of blushing in their faces, but for Song Wensong, these arguments were really meaningless.

Some people wanted Song Wensong to give up the capital and then capture Yuzhou, while others asked Song Wensong to conquer Cao Weiming at all costs, and then slowly develop based on the two rivers. No matter how they argued, Song Wensong had considered these choices. If one of them could work, why did Song Wensong fall to this situation today?

From Longyou to Guannei was a huge leap for Song Wensong, and it was an unprecedented challenge. For Song Wensong, he was an outsider after all, and an outsider was not easy to win the hearts of the people, and this was one of them.

Secondly, Song Wensong had no accumulation, and the capital was just a city. Except for a slightly larger population, there was nothing else. There was no food and the source of money was also controlled by others. Song Wensong felt that his future was extremely confused and he could not find a proper solution.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about this today. Sir, all the gentlemen go down to rest!" Song Wensong waved his hand and knocked everyone out, only Qi Yuanzhi stayed at the end and did not go out for a long time.

Song Wensong couldn't help but feel moved and said, "Yuanzhi, do you have anything to teach me?"

Qi Yuanzhi said: "The third general, Yuanzhi has something to say, "If you really want to be a minister of Dakang, or should you use the name of Dakang's ministers, like Cao Weiming, who will want to be the king or dominate once you have the chance?"

Song Wensong was stunned for a moment and said, "Why did Yuanzhi ask? Wensong is a minister of Dakang? Wensong is determined to attack and retreat with Dakang and completely draw a clear line with Longyou!"

Qi Yuanzhi laughed and said, "The Third General is probably insincere. I see that the Third General does not allow His Highness to sit in the hall and listen to the court. This alone may be difficult to convince everyone's heart. In this era, clowns are rampant, and those with a little strength in their hands are trying to reach the sky in one step. Everyone is independent and is called lonely and widowed. It can be said that if the Third General wants to fight with these people and win them in battle, his mind will not be the same as them..."

Qi Yuanzhi was slightly stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said, "Yuanzhi, you are my Kongming. What should I do about this? Yuanzhi will teach me quickly!"

Qi Yuanzhi said word by word: "If a general wants to survive, he needs to dare to retreat! If he takes a step back today, he will be able to make ten steps in the future! This is like hitting someone with a fist. If he does not retract his fist, how can he hit someone?

So, if the general wants to listen to my plan, there are three things, the first one is to return the power to the crown prince! The second one is to apologize for the Jiangnan, and the third is to take power in Jinling..."

Song Wensong frowned slightly and said, "Yuanzhi... This... are you trying to let me leave my brothers and go to Jiangnan alone to avoid disaster?"

Qi Yuanzhi sneered and said, "Since the third general claims to be a loyal minister of Dakang, he should know how loyal ministers should act! The war in the north is not good, and your Majesty will let you take Yuzhou and you will lose. Your Majesty will let you attack Bianzhou and you will lose. You will not apologize for your repeated defeats?

As for returning the power to the prince, it is even more unspeakable. Your Majesty’s will is to let the prince supervise the country in the capital. But now the prince is in the Eastern Palace every day and cannot even see the ministers. What is the difference between your behavior and Cao Weiming? Everyone knows the so-called Sima Zhao’s heart. If you still do this in the third general, the world will regard you as a person who wants to be king and dominate. Once that happens, the third general and Cao Weiming will be unique!"

Qi Yuanzhi talked freely, and Song Wensong's face was gloomy and clear. It was obvious that he was shocked by Qi Yuanzhi's astonishing remarks. Song Wensong held so many soldiers and now he said he would give up and give up. This would probably not be done to anyone.

In the chaotic times, soldiers and horses are life. Song Wensong couldn't believe how could he survive without such strength? Do you really expect to be a rich man in Jinling for the rest of his life?

But Song Wensong could not argue about Qi Yuanzhi's words. As Qi Yuanzhi said, Song Wensong is now in a dead end, and with his own strength, he can no longer break the situation.

Unless he formed an alliance with Cao Weiming, how could he defend the capital? But he and Cao Weiming had already broken their faces. Isn’t it a deception to form an alliance now?

The pressure in Bingzhou is very high, and the pressure in the capital is also huge. Song Wensong grabbed two hot potatoes with one hand and threw away one will be done. The situation is so clear that Song Wensong may have to retreat...

As if he saw Song Wensong's doubts, Qi Yuanzhi said: "As for the third point of taking power in Jinling, the three generals don't have to worry. Now the Lu family in Jiangnan is dominant and covers the sky with one hand. Your Majesty has been suffering from the Lu family for a long time.

But Your Majesty can't find an opponent who can compete with the Lu family. Under this circumstance, the situation in the court has become unbalanced. When the third general goes to Jinling, you have nearly 100,000 troops. With this confidence, Your Majesty will definitely use you. Your Majesty will even pour a lot of resources into you, because he needs to train you to deal with the Lu family!

Therefore, the third general’s move to retreat as advance is actually turning passive into initiative, allowing himself to come out of the dead end and further expand his maneuver space. This is a good idea!”

Song Wensong pursed his lips and stood up and paced back and forth with his hands on his back. He murmured: "The reason is that this reason is really unusual, but... what to do in Beijing? What to do in Bingzhou?"

Qi Yuanzhi laughed and said with his hands on his back: "The three generals are just defeating the generals. You are very worried about the major issues of the country and the country. My Dakang Dynasty has His Majesty, the Crown Prince, and so many prime ministers who are good at literature and martial arts. Jiangnan has produced many talents. Could it be that Bingzhou and the capital will be lost?

If you can't protect the capital and Bingzhou by exercising the power of Dakang, you will be alone and you will be even more unlikely to protect Bingzhou by yourself. Can the third general understand this?”

Song Wensong was speechless. He felt that he had not regarded himself as a minister of Dakang from the bottom of his heart. Once he had the intention of despising Dakang, he would naturally become arrogant and rude, which would make his behavior deviate from the track!

Everyone in this world has ambitions. How many people have ambitions in the world? But ambitions must be supported by strength. Without enough strength, how can they support vigorous ambitions? Just like Song Wensong, he raised himself and entered a dead end. If he does not wake up, he may be finished soon.

When he was discussing the matter just now, some counselors even encouraged him to be king immediately. Then, as the king's identity, he ordered the counties of the capital and Bingzhou to establish a king's army to fight all directions. In this way, the two rivers could be quickly pacified, occupied the territory of the two rivers, and had a prosperous land within the pass, and Song Wensong occupied the most favorable position of the emperor!

Song Wensong was really moved at that time, but now when he thought about this suggestion, he felt cold sweat on his back, and he was scared after a while!

After listening to Qi Yuanzhi's discussion, Song Wensong reflected on the previous discussions, as if in the sky and under the earth. Qi Yuanzhi's high arguments allowed Song Wensong to retain the opportunity and still had extremely longing and imagination in the future. However, the discussions of others were to further push Song Wensong forward and continue to move forward to a situation where he would never recover!

After a long time, Song Wensong said, "Yuanzhi really saved me. Your plan really made me realize. I was wrong for such a long time. It was really amazing! At this time, I should go to the East Palace to apologize to His Royal Highness the Prince!"

After Song Wensong finished speaking, he immediately asked someone to change his clothes. He put on the military uniform of an officer, took only one follower, and went straight to the East Palace. It was said that since the Crown Prince Long Zhaohuan secretly met Su Xinghai, he had been up and down in his heart and waiting for the news hard. He was really like a year.

After all, Long Zhaohuan has been in the capital for so many years. Although he is now under his control, he still has some things under his command. At least he still has several lines in terms of message transmission.

In the early morning, news came from outside that Su Xinghai had packed his bags and boarded the canal ship south alone. When Long Zhaohuan heard this report, his heart skipped a beat and thought he was finished.

He had only this idea and immediately received the second news, but it was a public news outside that Prime Minister Su Xinghai, in the name of the prince, immediately went to Jiangnan to investigate His Majesty's illness. After arriving in Jinling, he would return three days later!

When Long Zhaohuan heard this news, he was immediately stunned. He couldn't help but roaring: "Su Xinghai is such an old thief, he dares to betray me! Are all the loyal ministers of Dakang now dead? Is there no other minister in my Dakang Dynasty who can share my worries for me?"

Long Zhaohuan scolded Su Xinghai for being dishonest, but he was panicked. He realized that Song Wensong must be very annoyed at this time, so when he heard the report outside that General Song Wensong came to pay a visit, he was so scared that he suddenly came to the ground. It was just a matter of pissing.

Now Long Zhaohuan is no longer as heroic as before, and has high fighting spirit. He has experienced all kinds of ups and downs in the capital alone, especially after being humiliated and abused by Cao Weiming, a huge shadow appeared in his heart. Now facing Song Wensong, he is really afraid.

Song Wensong quickly stepped into the East Palace. Long Zhaohuan wanted to hide when he saw him. Song Wensong caught up with him from behind. He was so scared that his legs became weak, and he actually wanted to kneel down in a flash. Song Wensong hurriedly knelt on the ground and said:

"Your Highness, Wen Song is wrong. Wen Song is here to apologize today! Wen Song always thought that your highness has not recovered since he went to Yuzhou and experienced those things. Therefore, Wen Song actually overestimated his affairs in the capital. Yesterday, Su Xiang reminded him that Wen Song knew that he had actually done something as a treacherous minister. At this time, I was really unable to feel at ease. I came here to apologize early this morning!"

Song Wensong was very sincere, crawling on the ground, touching the military talisman with both hands and said, "Your Highness, this is the military talisman in our army. I will give it to Your Highness today. In the future, Wensong will always listen to Your Highness when he uses his troops. Our army will follow His Highness's orders!"

Song Wen paused and said, "As for the political affairs in the capital, they should be governed by Your Highness. We should obey your orders!"

During Song Wensong's performance, Long Zhaohuan widened his eyes and couldn't believe his ears. His first reaction was that Song Wensong was pretending, which was fake! He immediately said, "General, don't do this! The general can guard his side and control the capital for His Majesty. Your Majesty is very happy! From the bottom of my heart, I admire the general's ability and talent, and I highly agree with your behavior, so please don't do this.

In the future, I will definitely follow the general’s requirements to handle the affairs of the capital. I will cooperate with the general to manage the capital and Bingzhou well!”

Song Wensong knelt down and said, "Your Highness, don't do this anymore! You are the prince who supervises the kingdom for the emperor. You must take power in your own hands! Your Highness is relieved. You will go to Jiangnan immediately and personally go to your superiors to apologize for your crime of greed for me. As soon as I leave, your highness will no longer be bound in the matter of the capital. The generals under my command will only obey the military talisman. I can guarantee that as long as your highness wants to dispatch troops, they will definitely obey the orders and dare not violate them!"

When Song Wensong said this, he said with great grief: "It's a pity that I am incompetent and failed to win the war in the north. Now Longyou is going south. Cao Weiming is eyeing him. The Shandong army may advance west at any time. Although the distance between the capital and Bingzhou is not far, our defense is very weak. At this time of crisis, I am really incompetent. I will report this matter to Your Majesty when I go to Jinling. I believe that I have many talented people and powerful generals. I can definitely solve the crisis with my power of Dakang!"

Song Wensong's performance reached a climax. When the play reached this point, the prince Long Zhaohuan was also stunned for a moment. Only then did he believe that what Song Wensong said seemed to be sincere!

After handing over the military talisman, he was willing to go to Jinling to apologize. Song Wensong really wanted to be a loyal minister! With this in mind, Long Zhaohuan's thoughts immediately became alive.

He thought that although the power of the capital was not strong, the soldiers were all strong soldiers from the northwest, which was a considerable force. As the prince of Dakang, Long Zhaohuan could take this force into his hands and find a way to fight against the Song family and Cao Weiming, and there were other forces in conjunction with each other, there might not be no big chance!

Is Song Wensong going south to become an official? If he wanted to become an official, Long Zhaohuan could have compiled a letter to Emperor Xinde and given Song Wensong a prime minister? This is a rare opportunity for Dakang, especially for Long Zhaohuan. Such a temptation is too great that he cannot resist at all.
