Jia Sidao knew very well about Zhao Yun's urinary nature.

Once the news of the army heading south to Xiangyang reached Lin'an City, even though Meng Gong had proposed to ask Zhao Yun to order Jia Sidao, who had issued an order to reward the army, and then discuss the matter of reward the army when the war was over. In terms of Jia Sidao's understanding of Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun's biggest possibility is to throw this difficult problem directly to him, and not be willing to let himself lose face and take the initiative to order Jia Sidao to return.

If the people in the court who thought he would die sooner would add fuel to the fire, even if the final result of this matter had not yet appeared, Jia Sidao could be sure that Zhao Yun would definitely push this problem to him and let him choose to go or not to reward the army in Xiangyang.

Think about it, if Zhao Yun followed Meng Gong's opinion and issued an order to return, then Zhao Yunhan would be the hearts of hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were still fighting for the Song Dynasty on the Xiangyang front. This is really not a good thing for the Song Dynasty, which is now a martial arts and a lot of emphasis on literary affairs.

Of course, if Zhao Yun said that, if Zhao Yun refused Meng Gong's opinion, it would be fine to say that it would be normal for the emperor to reject the opinions of his ministers? But Zhao Yun would be disappointed in Jia Sidao's heart. More importantly, if Zhao Yun refused the proposal to let Jia Sidao return to Lin'an, how could Zhao Yun explain to the now big-bellied concubine Jia Guifei?

After thinking about it, the best way seems to be to push the problem of this choice on Jia Sidao. What follows is that no matter what choice Jia Sidao makes, all the benign or adverse consequences caused by this will be borne by Jia Sidao himself, and it has nothing to do with Zhao Yun.

Therefore, after seeing Meng Gong's letter, Jia Sidao had directly ignored Zhao Yun's attitude. As the emperor, Zhao Yun's choice to be a hand-off manager at this time can be said to be the wisest way, and he didn't blame him.

Go or go back, this is indeed a difficult problem for Jia Sidao.

When the war was about to begin, the emperor's special envoy appeared in Xiangyang City. This inspiration for the morale of hundreds of thousands of Song soldiers stationed in Xiangyang was self-evident, and vice versa.

Even the chief general Meng Gong felt that he was not sure how much advantage he could get from his mouth was not so sweet. So the current state of hundreds of thousands of Song soldiers around Xiangyang City was self-evident.

If Jia Sidao really chooses to turn back, it will be a heavier blow to the already low morale. Think about it, before the Mongolian army arrived, the ministers who came to reward the army in the court were frightened and shrunk back. What does this mean? Everyone understands it.

Go? Jia Sidao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

In the original history, Meng Gong also took Xiangyang City, but the Mongols did not take any serious measures in Xiangyang City, so they did not take more radical responses. The two sides only had sporadic wars in some areas of the border, and there was no such situation at all. However, now the Mongols have taken extremely radical measures in Xiangyang City and sent the sect king who has a great reputation in the Mongolian army to personally supervise the army to the south, which seems to be very different from the original history.

Jia Sidao didn't know if this means that the Mongols had moved from the original European continent to the Song Dynasty. If this was true, I'm afraid that the life of the Song Dynasty would be difficult from now on. If not... Then why did the Mongols fight so hard? What was the purpose of what was the Mongols trying to achieve?

It is not so easy for the Mongols who have extended the front line to tens of thousands of miles away. Although there will definitely be many servants who surrendered to Mongolia in the Song, Jin, Xixia and other places, but the army needs money to mobilize food and grass, and the cost of hundreds of thousands of troops every day is only food and grass, which is a big number.

If the Mongols really shifted their strategic focus to the Song Dynasty, it would be a matter of the past. If not, then what they wanted to do this time is quite a bit.

Jia Sidao has doubted that the Mongols actually tried to punish the Song Dynasty to secretly seize the city in order to punish the negotiations in the dark, but secretly took action. However, military and national affairs, wouldn’t it be too much to say that they would raise hundreds of thousands of troops just for the sake of arrogance?

Before he could figure out the goal that the Mongolian army wanted to achieve this southward journey, Jia Sidao could not be sure how long the war would last. If he went to Xiangyang City and the Song Dynasty devoted all its efforts to fight against Mongolia, the war would inevitably be delayed without limit until one side could not hold on or the other side was completely defeated.

If Xu Ruoxi had been pregnant for about two months as expected, she had been pregnant for about two months. If she had been in Xiangyang City for a year and a half, she would probably not even be able to catch up with her son. What's more, Jia Sidao knew very well that once he fell into Xiangyang City, Xu Ruoxi would definitely not be able to sleep or eat. This is really a taboo for pregnant people.

With his eyes stuck on Meng Gong's letter on the table, Jia Sidao smiled bitterly. Go or go? It was really a dilemma.

To be fair, although Jia Sidao has no idea of ​​usurping the throne forever, in order to protect himself, he has regarded Meng Gong's Jinghu War Zone as his own business, and the hundreds of thousands of troops from Jinghu under Meng Gong were regarded by him as his capital for his own survival.

In such a chaotic world, it is really not good to live happily and hand over your destiny to others.

...

It was only seven or eight months after the second year of Jiaxi. The Song Dynasty, which was not very peaceful, was already very lively. Military affairs, civil affairs, disasters, official affairs, happy events, and conspiracies were staged one after another, and they took turns to compete. The sudden resignation of the left prime minister Qiao Xingjian even added a lot of fire to the lively Song Dynasty stage and directly pushed the big drama to a ****.

Moreover, Qiao Xingjian's resignation time was too intriguing. It was precisely when the upstart of the court, Jia Sidao, left Beijing and went to Xiangyang City to reward his troops. This could no longer be simply described as a congestion. With this, the attention to Jia Sidao left Beijing in Lin'an City has also decreased a lot, and countless pairs of eyes from the court and the country were staring at the deep palace imperial city south of Lin'an City.

Surprisingly, Zhao Yun accepted Qiao Xingjian's resignation memorial, but did not express his opinion directly, did not try to keep, and did not agree. The strange attitude really made everyone feel itchy. No one knew what Zhao Yun was thinking. Even Yuan Fu, the close ministers who always thought they understood the emperor's mind the most, were still confused.
