It's night.

Zhao Dongting, deputy military commander of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Su Liuyi, Minister of War Zhong Jian, and two ministers of the Ministry of War, and more than ten ministers of the Ministry of War, were all in the imperial study.

Among them, Su Liuyi, Zhong Jian and the two ministers, both of whom were members of the military machine cabinet. The ministers were also powerful figures in the Ministry of War.

Now the military part of the Song Dynasty is logistics, staff, recruitment, national defense, science and technology, and many other yamen. These servants are the leaders of these yamen and have the power to make decisions.

They were all called to the imperial study room, and it was obvious that the emperor had important things to give.

So when they met on the way to the palace, these minds of the Ministry of War of the Song Dynasty whispered. They expressed their opinions on why the emperor summoned him at night.

The most recognized thing among them is that the emperor summoned him overnight must have something to do with the extreme master who entered the palace during the day.

And in fact, this is indeed the case.

Soon, all the officials who were called gathered outside the imperial study room.

An eunuch went in and reported. Eunuch Liu walked out of the house, "Please, please..."

The group of people, led by Su Liuyi, walked towards the Imperial Study Room.

"Let's just flat!"

As soon as he arrived in the imperial study room, Zhao Dongting waved his hand before everyone could salute him. Eunuch Liu went to the corner to bring a chair for Su Liuyi.

So far, Su Liuyi is nearly 60 years old. Because he has not lived a safe life in recent years, his body is not very strong, so almost Zhao Dongting will give him a seat whenever he goes to the imperial study. Now there is no need to give special explanations, and Eunuch Liu has already developed a habit.

Although Zhong Jian was favored by Zhao Dongting and was also the Minister of War, and his power and position were not inferior to Su Liu Yi, he did not have such treatment.

Zhao Dongting still treats old ministers preferentially in many aspects. If he could be treated like this as a minister, he would not be able to reflect his uniqueness to old ministers.

And these old ministers who have put in countless hard work for the revival of the Song Dynasty and are never too exhausted to say that they are working hard is definitely worthy of this treatment.

Not to mention those retired officials, just take Su Liuyi as an example. Based on age, he will have to retire next year. In the future, it will be rare to come to the imperial study room to sit.

"Dear friends, have you heard what the powerful man in the extreme realm said to me in the air today?"

As soon as Su Liuyi sat down, Zhao Dongting said to everyone.

Zhong Jian bowed and spoke first, "What the emperor said is that he wants to do it himself, and he is safe?"

Zhao Dongting nodded and said, "It's exactly this sentence."

As he said that, he slowly walked down from the bed and walked: "You are all the ministers of my great Song Dynasty. Let's talk about your thoughts here!"

"emperor!"

Shi Dehui, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, stepped forward and said, "The Yuan Dynasty said before this was a message for the Emperor Yuan Emperor Zhenjin. In my foolish opinion, Zhenjin's move was to force our Song Dynasty imperial guards to quit the front line with this person's extreme realm. This will definitely delay our dynasty's plan to destroy the Yuan Dynasty, but our dynasty's cultivation level is temporarily unable to deal with it. If the front line continues to use troops against the Yuan Dynasty, I am afraid that the Emperor Yuan will be defeated and let this person come to the palace. At that time, if no one can stop him, the result will be unimaginable. Therefore... I think it's better to quit the army for a while now. We will develop the territory we have occupied first, and we will not be able to start the war against the Yuan Dynasty again after we have come up with a way to deal with him."

"emperor!"

But Shi Dehui's words had just fallen, and the Right Minister Man Chengbi also stood up and said, "According to the news from the Military Information Department, from the Khanate, Chagatai Khanate, Ogedei Khanate, and Ili Khanate, these four Khanate, which were on the same line as the Yuan Dynasty, have sent troops to the Yuan Dynasty. They must be coming to us. If the firearms given to them by the Yuan Dynasty, they will all kill them to the front line. At that time, it will not be said whether the soldiers of the Song Dynasty's imperial guards can break through to Zhong again. I am afraid that it will be quite difficult to defend the bases that have been finally captured... and if the front line is defeated, I will go to the rear..."

He didn't say it too straightforwardly, but the meaning was already very obvious.

If the army of the four Khanate countries arrives, the soldiers of the imperial guards on the front line will be defeated. At that time, it will be said whether the Song Dynasty can protect itself. After all, only the garrison and the defenders are left behind.

"Don't worry about this."

Zhao Dongting raised his hand and said confidently: "Our imperial guards are all troops of war and will not be defeated by the army of the Khanate."

His eyes swept everyone again, "What I am thinking about now is that if this powerful man in the extreme realm comes to the palace, I will truly stop fighting against the Yuan Dynasty. Will this affect the morale of the army and the wishes of the people? Besides, if you really have to come up with a way to deal with him, I don't know when it will be. Moreover, such existence is always a great hidden danger. With him, no matter whether the front line continues to fight, there will be a big stone hanging in my heart... I am now unsure whether to take the risk to continue the conscript. If there is a need to do this, it is not impossible to do it. We can't beat him and always be able to hide. But at that time, the commanders of the various military forces and the civil and military ministers in our court will need to hide in office, which will be many inconveniences."

When everyone heard what he said, they all started to ponder.

The emperor's meaning is nothing more than everyone discussing whether there is a lot of effort to avoid the extreme and let the front line continue to unfold.

"emperor……"

After a while, Zhong Jian said, "Let's try to analyze the pros and cons of fighting or not fighting before making a decision. If you fight, all the civil and military officials of the dynasty need to guard against this extreme realm, whether in the imperial city, major prefecture city, or in the army. The Yuan Dynasty also has spider webs, and we may not be able to show up easily in the future. The troubles are difficult to predict. But if the front line is smooth and can reach the Zhongdu of the Yuan Dynasty in a short time and the Yuan Dynasty is destroyed, then perhaps this extreme realm will not compete with us again when the world is weak, and the reinforcements of the four major khanates will definitely not be enemies of our Song Dynasty."

"Besides, the front line is not so smooth, then we will be in a lot of trouble. Even if we deliberately hide, there are hundreds of secrets and even a few, we may not be able to assassinate the extreme realm. According to my opinion, the Left Minister said it well, so we might as well press the troops first and digest the base areas that are eaten into our stomachs. Now our army on the front line still needs to transport food from the rear. Just imagine, if the grain in our base area can be enough to supply the front line army at that time, even if the Yuan Dynasty gets more time to recuperate, it will not be our opponent of the Song Dynasty. The development speed of our Song Dynasty is countless times that of theirs."

"Um……"

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, "In terms of development, I am confident. As you said, it is really safe to stop the front line. But..."

As he spoke, the wind suddenly changed, "What should I do if the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop? Will this person buy time for reinforcements from the four Khanate countries? When the four Khanate troops arrive, will the Yuan Dynasty fight back again in order to drive our imperial guards out of their territory?"
