Zhao Xu's departure from Beijing was not what people imagined to be down and out, and it had nothing to do with leaving Beijing to avoid the limelight.

But the officials who impeached him obviously didn't think so, so they secretly rejoice.

They were happy that Zhao Xu naturally did not, so he said seriously: "I went to the north this time, and then I realized how great the threat the Liao people were to the Song Dynasty... There was no danger there. Once the Liao army headed south, it would be like a flood passing through the border and would rush all the way to the city of Bianliang."

Zhao Shu had never been to the north, so he was listening carefully at this moment as a reference for his decision-making.

"But forget about those water nets and paddy fields. This time I discovered... this is a joke." Zhao Xu said: "The secret spies of the Liao army are active in the territory of the Song Dynasty. They know clearly what places can pass and where they cannot go. So instead of spending money, grain and manpower on it, it is better to train more soldiers."

"Ahem!!"

Someone was coughing violently, and Zhao Xu frowned and looked at him and asked, "Is this a cold?"

His attitude was never disgusted, and the official didn't dare to speak, but just bowed his head to apologize.

The prince who returned with power was extremely powerful!

"Tell me." Zhao Shu was very interested in this.

"Those water nets and paddy fields cannot stop the Liao army from moving south. Let me say that, unless the entire north is dug into a mud pond, it will be a humiliation for oneself! Deceiving oneself!"

The hall exploded instantly!

"This is a big mistake!" An official said, "The water nets and paddy fields in the north are there, so the Liao army dare not go south. Does the king say this to regard these decades of hard work as useless?"

Zhao Xu looked at this person and said lightly: "There are more than 6,000 soldiers who followed the north this time. Can the water nets and paddy fields be stopped? Even if it is 60,000, it cannot be stopped! The Liao army did not go south in the past few decades. It was not because they were afraid of the water nets and paddy fields, but because they learned a lesson in the war that year."

The first thing that the Chanyuan Alliance was to do was to make the warriors effective, so that the Liao people knew that the Song Dynasty still had the power to fight, so there was peace talks.

Without force as a guarantee, let alone water nets and paddy fields, even if it is blocked by a mountain range, the Liao people will still go south and seize the prosperous place of Song Dynasty, which is longing for.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He really wanted to roll up his sleeves and slap this person. But seeing some officials disagree, he felt that he had a long way to go to change the concepts of these ministers.

"You are afraid of the Liao army, so you encouraged the Yellow River to divert..."

The temperature in the hall rose a little, and the officials blushed a little.

The matter of changing the Yellow River is a matter of ignorance and fearlessness, but the monarch and ministers of the Song Dynasty did this. The reason in the core is that they are afraid of the Liao army going south.

"You are afraid of the Liao army, so you encouraged the spread of paddy fields in the north... But in my opinion, those paddy fields will only provide food and grass to the invaders!"

madness!

Foolish!

Everyone can understand what Zhao Xu is secretly hiding.

He was impeached out of the capital for implicitly mocking his ministers for being shameless. At this moment, he dared to ridicule his ministers for being stupid...

It's indeed a young man! He is brave and fearless, and his words make all the ministers lose face.

Deadly silence!

"Can't you really stop it?" Zhao Shu had never seen the real situation in the north, and everything was based on the introduction of his ministers.

But now he regrets it a little.

Will the advice given by a group of ministers who are afraid of Liao people and are afraid of being in the bones?

This thought moved in his mind for a moment, and then disappeared, and I don’t know when I will be remembered again.

But he was excited and felt another big rock fell in his heart.

It turns out that the water nets and paddy fields in the north cannot stop the Liao army!

Then what else to do?

Zhao Xu said: "Your Majesty, you really can't stop it. If you can stop it, where is the road to the north?"

Someone said: "But with these water nets and paddy fields, the Liao army could not calmly conquer the city and land in the north..."

Well!

Zhao Xu covered his forehead and was very surprised why such a minister could enter the court.

"Do you understand the speed of soldiers? Do you understand the thief and the king?"

Zhao Xu said angrily: "If I lead the army, I will lead the army to Bianliang all the way, and conquer cities and territory from the north. Once the enemy goes south, it will be a battle to destroy the country. Who will be entangled with you in the north? Who?"

A group of idiots who don’t understand battle formations will command the battle formations, and a group of idiots who don’t understand strategy will design defense methods...

Fortunately, all of this has time to change, luckily!

Zhao Shu was shocked and ordered: "Let Chen An come."

Chen An came later, and he looked clearly that he was woken up in his sleep, and he was still breathless when he woke up.

Zhao Shu asked: "The water nets and paddy fields in the north may stop the enemy from moving south?"

Chen An didn't expect that it was the problem, so he said listlessly: "There are fish in the water nets that can allow the enemy to catch fish. There is food in the paddy fields that can allow the enemy to get supplies. As for blocking the enemy from going south... Your Majesty, the Yellow River cannot, can it be just those small rivers?"

"Even the Yellow River can't..."

This sentence made Zhao Shu completely awaken.

"At the time when the Yellow River was changed, wasn't it because the Liao army was afraid that it would come by boat? Water nets and paddy fields could stop the enemy. What would the army do? Isn't it better to dig the north of Bianliang directly?"

Chen An really doesn't understand the brain circuit of these people. Since they changed the route of the Yellow River, they were indomitable and deeply understood the essence of Yugong moving mountains, but they didn't know that the Yellow River could not be changed. Once they changed, they turned from mother to father, roaring father.

After being beaten several times by this father, the monarch and ministers of the Song Dynasty continued to divert the Yellow River indomitable ways. If it weren't for Chen'an, that flood would have brought greater disaster to the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Shu was very pleased, but was really happy after being afraid.

The Song Dynasty avoided disasters and also avoided consuming a lot of money and food, which is good news.

"Since that's the case, then the north will focus on guard and defense from now on. Don't make any paddy fields anymore. People can do it if they want, don't force them..."

Okay, another defense measure has been rejected. I don’t know if the person who made it was still there. If it were there, the old face would probably turn red like a monkey’s butt.

Chen An and Zhao Xu exchanged glances, and the joy in their hearts gradually overflowed.

This step by step victory and change step by step, and the Song Dynasty's attitude towards the Liao people is also changing. It's a gratifying congratulations!

Zhao Shu was happy in his heart. Seeing his son's appearance was embarrassed and tired, he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.

"The prince went to the north this time and killed the generals and the enemy..."

He looked at Chen An, and his ministers were also looking at Chen An.

Is this true?

Chen An, a famous general of the Song Dynasty, said with a solemn look on his face: "Under the attention of everyone, the king knocked the enemy down with one sword."

Of course he wouldn't say that the timing was chosen by him.

Zhao Xu killed the generals and killed the enemy. Is this considered making a meritorious service?

Of course.

If anyone dares to complain about his lack of qualifications and no credit in the future, Zhao Xu will be able to slap his face immediately.

Moreover, with such contributions, Zhao Xu's status will naturally be different in the future. For example, if there is military affairs, he can express his opinions without his identity as a political person.

This is the real benefit!

Zhao Shu nodded and said with satisfaction: "It's great to make a contribution."

In five simple words, among the ministers, there was someone who impeached Zhao Xu, and his old face turned red in an instant.

Zhao Xu said honestly: "Your Majesty is too much of a reputation. I just killed the enemy general, so it is not a merit."

This is irony!

Those officials who impeached Zhao Xu all wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in, thinking that the prince was really mean.

No, it's black-hearted.

Look at his honest look, who dares to say that this is irony?

This is black-hearted!

Zhao Shu said with satisfaction: "I understand humility. It seems that you have made a lot of progress this time. Let's go and have a good rest. You are allowed to go in and out casually during this period."

This is a reward!

Zhao Xu bowed and said he was leaving.

Chen An then surrendered, and he had to go home to see Yang Zhuoxue and his son.

After he left, Zhao Shu asked, "I feel so relieved to the prince this time."

"I will congratulate you on your Majesty."

The ministers congratulated again, and Zhao Shu smiled and said, "The prince is simple, but how can Chen An reward him?"

Well!

Everyone was silent, but someone blurted out: "Don't he like to break people's legs?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The ministers couldn't help laughing.

Just as he laughed, Zhao Shu said, "He has become a father and has a son. You can't mess around like this anymore."
