Chapter 1249: No generals in the Northern Song Dynasty, no phase in the Southern Song Dynasty

Ouyang Shuo did not expect that the Tubo Dynasty was occupied by the Ashoka Dynasty.

Songtsen Gampo resisted the Mongolian Empire in the north and defended the Daxia Dynasty in the west. In the end, he could not escape the fate of being swallowed by giant crocodiles, which is really sad.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that foreign forces have intervened in the battle for hegemony in China, which has made Ouyang Shuo very embarrassed.

Even so, Ouyang Shuo had to act carefully. Recently, Li Jing had led the Feixiong army to withdraw from the border of Shu, and Daxia's first conquest of Tubo ended in failure.

Li Jing made apologies and was suppressed by Ouyang Shuo.

With the treacherous waves on the Tubo battlefield, Li Jing was able to lead the Feixiong army to escape unscathed, which was already a very remarkable achievement. How could Ouyang Shuo punish this general?

Before resolving the Qin, Tang and Song dynasties, Ouyang Shuo was not prepared to provoke the battle of Tubo.

As for the Ashoka Dynasty, it also takes a process of digestion and absorption to annex such a large territory of Tubo. Moreover, Shu is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as Ashoka is not crazy enough to be out of bounds, he will not be greedy for Shu.

Tubo will be put aside for the time being, Ouyang Shuo will focus on the Qin, Tang and Song dynasties.

On July 3, as the limited date gradually approached, Ouyang Shuo prepared to sacrifice flags for the Zhao clan of the Song Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the night before, a dramatic palace revolution broke out in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Guangyi saved a whole family.

However, people from later generations would generally regard Zhao Guangyi as a traitor and Zhao Kuangyin as a saint.

Ouyang Shuo had no intention of exploring the tricks. He only knew that with the success of Zhao Guangyi Palace, Jingchu Province had become the treasure of Daxia.

Daxia took a big step forward from conquering the Three Kingdoms.

…………

On July 5, Jiang Shang, the chief assistant of the Daxia cabinet, led his team to Xiangyang City as his special envoy, to accept Zhao Guangyi's surrender. Before that, the army of both sides had stopped fighting.

The Song Dynasty imperial guards on the front line surrendered on the spot, waiting for the reorganization of the Privy Council. A rough count is that after the Daxia army's troops supplemented the war losses, there are still 380,000 Song Dynasty imperial guards waiting for reorganization.

When Jiang Shang left, he also brought the grace and imperial titles from the court.

The imperial edict was issued to Zhao Guangyi as King of Song and Zhao Kuangyin as Marquis of Song. Such grace was already considered a great emperor's grace. If Zhao Kuangyin, who was under house arrest, was too ignorant.

In addition to the Zhao royal family, a group of old ministers in the Song Dynasty also had their own appointments.

Zhao Pu was appointed as the governor of southern Sichuan, formerly the governor of southern Sichuan, and was transferred to the governor of Jingchu.

Zhao Pu was appointed as the leader of Zhao Kuangyin in his early years. In the seventh year of Xiande, he and Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chenqiao mutiny, overthrew the Later Zhou Dynasty, and established the Song Dynasty.

In the second year of Qiande, he was appointed as the prime minister and assisted Zhao Kuangyin in depriving the vassal states, abolishing the military power of the imperial guards, implementing the garrison laws, reforming the official system, and formulating many major measures such as defending the border and defending the Liao Dynasty.

In the third year of Chunhua, Zhao Pu, who was appointed as prime minister three times, died of illness. At the age of 71, he was awarded the title of King of Han, and was given the title of "Zhongxian". He was also given the title of "Zhengxian" and was also given the title of "Taizu Temple Court". He was one of the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion.

Although Zhao Pu read a little, he liked to read the Analects of Confucius. His saying that "half of the Analects of Confucius" governed the world" had a great influence on later generations and became a famous saying for governing the country with Confucianism.

With Zhao Pu's talent, it is natural to be the governor of the province. However, it was unexpected for some people to be appointed as the governor of southern Sichuan as soon as possible. Although the rumors that the government and the people had previously deposed the southern Sichuan province as Zhili province were suppressed by Ouyang Shuo, the status of southern Sichuan province is undoubtedly high.

Ouyang Shuo's real purpose was to transfer Fan Zhongyan from southern Sichuan.

Because of the royal city of Xiangyang and a major province in the central region, the Jingchu province did not feel wronged Fan Zhongyan. Ouyang Shuo hopes that through this adjustment, Fan Zhongyan will understand his secret warning.

In addition to Zhao Pu, Murong Yanzhao, Gao Huaide, Wang Shenqi, Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, Zhang Lingduo, Zhang Guanghan and Zhao Yanwei were also placed one by one.

There were no generals in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there was no general in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Among the old ministers, Zhao Pu was the only one who was truly excellent in literary and military affairs.

…………

With the surrender of the Song Dynasty, the situation in the Huaxia region has become clear. Now it depends on what the attitude between Qin and Tang countries are. Neither Qin Shihuang nor Emperor Taizong of Tang are the ones who easily admit defeat.

It is harder to get these two to surrender than to kill them.

Capital, palace.

Zhang Liang, the Grand Secretary of the Zizheng Pavilion, was invited to the Imperial Study Room to discuss matters.

"Your dear, what should I do with the Qin and Tang dynasties?" If possible, Ouyang Shuo did not want to conquer the two countries through war when the Ashoka Dynasty was aggressive.

But if there is no war, the two countries will not surrender.

This was simply a dead knot, so Ouyang Shuo asked Zhang Liang to find a way.

Zhang Liang replied: "Qin Shihuang and Emperor Taizong of Tang are also powerful leaders. They must be able to see the situation clearly and know that the general trend is irreversible. What we need to do is give them a step."

Ouyang Shuo nodded and agreed.

"Your dear, how should I give this step? Do you want me to talk to it in person?"

"Not proper!" Zhang Liang shook his head directly, "Not to mention that Your Majesty is the lord of all chariots, you should not be condescending to the nobles. If this case is broken, it will inevitably become arrogant between the Qin and Tang dynasties, which will be very unfavorable for the future governance of the Guanxi province."

What Zhang Liang is thinking is by no means exaggeration.

Both Qin and Tang dynasties had a group of famous civil and military ministers, and the two countries had been operating the Guanxi province for a long time and were deeply rooted. If Daxia gave both countries too much face, it would be easy to give the civil and military ministers and people of the two countries an illusion that they believed that their submission to Daxia was to give Daxia face and inevitably breed arrogance.

This is something Ouyang Shuo didn't want to see.

Zhang Liang followed and said, "I think we can start with the Ashoka Dynasty."

“How to say it?”

Ouyang Shuo was a little surprised and didn't know how the two could be linked together.

"Whether it is Qin Shihuang or Emperor Taizong of Tang, they are all emperors throughout the ages and are orthodox. Now that foreign enemies are attacking China, if Qin and Tang still immerse themselves in internal struggles, wouldn't they let China down? I suggest that high-standard envoys be sent again to use this as a breakthrough to convince the two emperors to retreat behind the scenes." Zhang Liang said.

Ouyang Shuo frowned slightly, "Is this possible?"

"If Your Majesty does not abandon you, I am willing to lead the team and send an envoy to one country."

"Okay!"

Ouyang Shuo followed the advice and decided to let Zhang Liang give it a try first.

…………

On July 7, Zhang Liang, the second assistant to the Daxia Cabinet and the Grand Secretary of the Zizheng Pavilion, led a team to the Tang Dynasty; at the same time, Zhang Yi, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, personally led a team to the Daqin Dynasty.

Historically, Zhang Yi was once the prime minister of Qin, and this time he was sent to Qin, it was also considered a "returning home in glory". Ouyang Shuo hoped that Qin Shihuang could care about this incense and agree to retire.

Ouyang Shuo can be reused for civil officials and military generals, but the emperor is an absolute forbidden area. Ouyang Shuo is unwilling to touch him, and he will never have the intention to bring them under his command.

Even the overlord of Chu Xiang Yu was unwilling to be in the hearts of the people, let alone emperors like Qin Shihuang and Emperor Taizong of Tang.

If you really want to recruit these emperors, you will be in danger of endless troubles.

Therefore, even if Qin and Tang surrendered, Qin Shihuang and Emperor Taizong of Tang had to retire and become a free king in this game world, no longer interfere in the government affairs, and cannot even touch them.

As for whether there is a chance in the future, it is only another way to show these emperors to the planet of Hope and expand their territory. After all, there are too many variables in the planet of Hope, so how can Ouyang Shuo know it all.
