Chapter 207 War or Peace?

Yuanhao looked at the palace that had just been built not long ago, turned around and looked gloomy. He said to Yeli Renrong and Zhang Zhi who were standing below: "According to what Dou Weiji came to envoy yesterday, the Xishou Military Supervisory Office will definitely be out of protection. It is no point to stay in Tiandu Mountain. Once it was occupied by the Song army, the road to return to Lingzhou was cut off. It was extremely dangerous. For the current plan, I had to abandon the place first. I led the army west to Weizhou. If I had the chance, I would severely hurt the two Song army!"

Yeri Renrong looked heavy and said to Yuanhao: "Wuzhu, there are only three of us here, please speak Mingyan. The Longyou Army has been rushing towards us step by step. After more than a year of fighting, we have no choice. Whether it is a head-on battle or a dangerous place, we are not their opponents. There is more than 100,000 troops there. Once Tiandu Mountain is lost, the country will have no room for a turnaround. Now even if the troops and horses of Jingyuan and Huanqing are gone, we can't defeat the Longyou civilization. It's all dead. What can we do when we go to Weizhou? We will be surrounded there after we arrive. Now, please invite Wuzhu to speak Mingyan. After we arrive in Weizhou, will we fight or reconcile?"

"King Yeli said it right, Wuzhu must make up his mind. After this battle, will it be a war or a harmony?" As one of the most important planners of Dangxiang, Zhang Zhi knew that it was time to survive and die, and he could not be ambiguous. "Only by deciding whether to fight or a peace can we make appropriate arrangements without being confused. Things are unusual, Wuzhu will make a decision early!"

Yuan Hao held the armrest of the seat tightly with his hands, and the blue veins were exposed, and his eyes seemed to be about to spit out of fire. After a long time, he calmed down his anger and asked in a deep voice: "So what about fighting? So what about harmony?"

Zhang Zhi said decisively: "We must fight, fight to the death! If we seek peace, there may be a glimmer of vitality and can maintain the territory and wealth in front of us. As long as we leave this glimmer of vitality, we will not worry about going out again in the future!"

Yeli Renrong also said: "Wuzhu is a father and his ancestors are wise. Since things are no longer possible, what's wrong with being a temporary minister? As long as he has a foundation, he can wait for the opportunity. Xu Ping can't stay in the Longyou Protectorate for the rest of his life!"

Yuan Hao was a hero after all, his mind gradually calmed down and he sighed heavily: "Is there really only one way to surrender? But I want to be with him, are the people of Song willing? Now they are the upper hand, I am afraid."

"As long as you decide to reconcile, everything will be easy!" Zhang Zhi glanced at Yeli Renrong and bowed to Yuanhao. "At this time, the Song army of Huanqing Road gathered at Huachi Village east of Qingzhou, and there was no sign of coming west for the time being. The Song army of Jingyuan Road was scattered in various villages because the war was fought early this year and there was no time to gather. Wuzhu led the army out of Tiandu Mountain and rushed to attack the Zhenrong Army. As long as the Zhenrong Army was defeated and then defended Tiandu Mountain, he would submit to Song for peace."

Yeli Renrong said: "Zhang Xianggong is right, Wu Zhu thought deeply. We are urgent here. We know that Longyou Protectorate knows that the Song Dynasty may not know. After more than a year of war, the Song Dynasty arranged hundreds of thousands of troops on Shaanxi Road, which cost a lot. In their court, there must be many ministers who wished to cease the battle as before. Moreover, those prime ministers in power will also be afraid of a great victory in the front line. The military man took advantage of this force to rise and it will be difficult to control it in the future."

Yuan Hao nodded without saying anything. Of course he knew this truth. Since he was a teenager, he had paid attention to collecting information from the Song Dynasty and was not unfamiliar with the struggles in the court there. However, Yuan Hao was rebellious since childhood and was determined to be an emperor. He was on an equal footing with the Song Dynasty and the Khitan. How could he be willing to surrender to the Song Dynasty again? If Dangxiang was the only one, he would rather die than ask for peace from the Song Dynasty again, but is it true?

Yeli Renrong and Zhang Zhi are the ones who trust him the most and support him the most. If you ask others, the answers you get will be even more embarrassing. Dou Weiji of the Xishou Military Supervisory Division has even said something about surrendering at the last minute, and shamelessly sent someone to ask Yuan Hao whether he agreed or not. If he said it, he would surrender. As for the others, they advocated that those who fled back to Lingzhou quickly were loyal to Yuan Hao while the other people spoke with the word "submission".

Under the heavy pressure of the Longyou army, Yuan Hao was already betrayal of his relatives and could not continue to fight. Gao Daquan's progress was slow, and Yuan Hao was delayed by his life. If he wanted to defend Tiandu Mountain for a winter, the 100,000 elite troops of the Dangxiang of Tiandu Mountain would be filled in the way Gao Daquan's march, and there would be no problem of not defending or not waiting there.

Seeing Yuanhao's expression ease, Zhang Zhi and Ye Li Renrong breathed a sigh of relief. This Wuzhu has been ambitious since childhood and is unruly. He can easily listen to others' words and will kill people if he disagrees. Fortunately, at the critical moment of life and death, he can recognize the situation and not let everyone die with his will.

The atmosphere in the hall was no longer so serious. Zhang Zhi said: "A real man can bend and stretch. As long as Wuzhu comes out to fight a few victories, we will have nothing to do with the Song Dynasty. People will only say that Wuzhu has compassion for the heavens and is unwilling to let the people suffer, rather than seeking peace if we cannot defeat the Song army. Taizu fought with Song for decades, and fought with peace, without seeking a moment of enthusiasm. Emperor Taizong, in accordance with Taizu's old order, praised the Khitan and the Song Dynasty, expanded the land of Hexi in the west and suppressed the Tubo tribes in the south, and finally built this foundation. At this time, the situation is far from the difficult time for Taizu. As long as Wuzhu holds his compassion for the time being, reorganizes Hexi and wait for the opportunity, it will not be difficult to make a comeback."

Yeli Renrong also said: "Zhang Xianggong is a man who is planning the country. We are sad now, just because Laozi's army in Longyou civilization is too strange. If he hadn't fought several battles, the Song army on the opposite side would not be our opponent. Now we are not the opponent of the Longyou army. It is better to bear it for a while and pay tribute to Song. As long as both sides defend their hometown before the war, we will reorganize the Hexi counties, suppress the Tubo and the fall of the Longyou family, and then we will be another world!"

Yuan Hao let out a heavy sigh: "After all, the most important thing now is that Tiandu Mountain must be defended. At the same time, it will come out to fight a few battles and win people's hearts. No matter how much the price is, as long as Tiandu Mountain is still in our hands, defeat the Song army a few times, and then hold back to Song in time, everything will be the same. It's a pity that we have fought for more than a year in vain!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Hao re-slapped the handrail: "It's really hateful! How can I swallow this!"

Zhang Zhi and Ye Li Renrong looked at each other, and both breathed a sigh of relief, standing there quietly without saying a word.

People on the front line of Tiandu Mountain have a clear understanding of the current situation. Dangxiang can no longer fight this battle. If you insist on fighting, it will be a dead end, and you will have no chance to take chances. The best way out now is to take advantage of the situation that has not completely deteriorated, let go, and make up for the failures in the east and west.
