Chapter 678 Ai Jia Thinks Wang Wushan Can Have a Solution (Part [-])
Chapter 687

"After all, we, the Song Dynasty, have been at war with Xixia for many years, and the number of people who have been plundered by Xixia over the years is probably in the hundreds of thousands. If Xixia uses this as a condition to exchange prisoners of war, how will we, the Song Dynasty, respond?"

"Tens of thousands of common people returned to the Song Dynasty, and tens of thousands of Xixia elites returned to the Xia Dynasty..." Zhao Xu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"The number of Xixia troops captured by my Great Song Dynasty is not that many." Gao Taotao couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhao Xu's stunned expression after hearing the number.

Zhao Xu, who came back to his senses, laughed a few times in embarrassment. "It's my grandson who was distracted. Before us, we captured nearly 5000 prisoners of war. Afterwards, we captured nearly [-] Xixia prisoners of war one after another. That's [-] people."

"The [-] prisoners of war are mostly Xixia's elite troops. If all the soldiers who have experienced battles are released, Xixia's strength, even if they are not aggressive enough, should be more than enough to protect themselves. At that time, even if they are If you don’t dare to confront my great Song Dynasty for the time being, then you will definitely think of ways to find trouble with the surrounding small countries and suck their blood to restore their strength.”

Hearing Gao Taotao's eloquent analysis, Zhao Xu's face became more and more ugly. "No wonder my grandson always thinks it's inappropriate. If so many prisoners of war are really returned, at that time, if my Great Song really wants to pacify Xixia, it will definitely be much more difficult."

"That's the truth. The problem is that the Song Dynasty has always governed the country with benevolence and filial piety. If this condition is really not agreed, once the news spreads, it will not only be the people on the border of Shaanxi Road who will have a grudge against the court... "

"Is there really nothing we can do? Grandson is really not reconciled." Zhao Xu couldn't help walking around irritably. "If I had known this before, I should have let them kill the prisoners of war directly, I'm afraid it would be more enjoyable."

"If that's the case, I'm afraid that those heroes who are fighting in the frontier army today will not be able to escape the eternal infamy." Although Gao Taotao could understand Zhao Xu's irritability, he still reminded his grandson rationally.

Zhao Xu could only let out a long sigh, killing captives without lying, this is an unchangeable truth, the grandson of the soldier sage also said: There is no disaster greater than killing and surrendering.

There are two famous people who caused catastrophe due to killing and surrendering. One is Bai Qi, the "God of War" in the Warring States Period; the other is Xiang Yu, who claims to be the "Overlord".

Bai Qi killed 40 soldiers of Zhao State in the battle pit of Changping, leaving only more than 200 boy scouts to return to Zhao State to report the letter; Xiang Yu also killed 20 soldiers of Qin Army in Xin'an pit.

In the end, these two great figures ended badly. Bai Qi was forced to commit suicide by the king of Qin. Before he died, he asked himself: "What did I do to heaven?" Then he replied: "I must die. Long In the Battle of Ping, there were 10 Zhao soldiers who surrendered, and I cheated them out, which was enough to kill them." It seems that Bai Qi understood it in his heart.

In a word, if the prisoners are killed on a large scale, it will definitely leave a shame in the history books, and even leave an eternal infamy in history.

I'm afraid that no one can bear this responsibility, and the fate of those who killed the prisoners is something that people dare not easily follow suit.

"Grandson was in a hurry and said some exaggerated words, please don't blame the emperor. Grandmother is the king of a country, and he really shouldn't have such thoughts..." Zhao Xu, who had regained his clarity, looked at him with some embarrassment. Gao Taotao gave a deep salute and said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, the officials are able to reflect on themselves, and it has shown the sign of the king. It is really a blessing for me." Gao Taotao took Zhao Xu's arm with a smile, and made him sit in front of him again, the kindness on his face became more and more obvious.

#####
The grandparents and grandchildren had a lot of headaches because of this matter. Xixia's move was clearly a conspiracy. In other words, better face.

"...Well, the Ai family didn't expect that the soldiers of the Shaanxi Road won such victories for our Song Dynasty, but in the end, they had to help those prisoners of war out of the country respectfully. I don't know what they would think." Gao Tao said leisurely. With a long sigh.

After hearing Gao Taotao's words, Zhao Xu couldn't help but look a little more ugly. "Could it be that there is no way to deal with it?"

Seeing Zhao Xu's sad face, Gao Taotao couldn't bear it, but she really didn't have any good ideas to solve this problem.

The officials can't do anything about it, and they can't do anything about it. In the world, I'm afraid there are people who can think of a way to deal with this matter, huh?Gao Taotao's eyes suddenly lit up. "Why don't you ask Wang Wushan, the official?"

"Ask him?" Zhao Xu didn't react, subconsciously thinking, could he, Wang Wushan, be able to solve this kind of thing?
"That's right, just ask him." Gao Taotao nodded with more certainty. "I have heard for a long time that Wang Wushan is the lucky star of my Song Dynasty, and it is also a rare golden idea in my Song Dynasty. If there is a way to deal with this matter among the people in the world, I am afraid that he is the only one."

Zhao Xu also came back to his senses, his eyes sparkled as if he had been spat with chicken blood. "That's right, why didn't I expect that every time he does something, in the eyes of the world, it is almost impossible to succeed, but it always makes him beyond everyone's expectations, maybe he can also have a good understanding of this matter." Method."

At this moment, Zhao Xu couldn't control himself, and wished he could write a letter to Wang Wushan right now. "Thank you, Grandmother, for your reminder. My grandson will leave first."

"Go to the official family. The Ai family always has a feeling that Wang Wushan should be able to think of a way to deal with it." Gao Taotao nodded slightly and smiled at Zhao Xu.

After Zhao Xu walked away quickly, Xu Degong, who was standing beside him, couldn't help asking in a low voice. "Your Majesty, do you really think that Wang Wushan has a way to deal with this matter?"

"Well, Aijia has a hunch that he can definitely think of a way to achieve the best of both worlds. Although Aijia has no idea at all, when he thinks of that magical boy, he has an idea in his heart, maybe he can give it a try. "Gao Taotao replied firmly.

"Speaking of which, ever since Ai's family heard about that kid's reputation, he hasn't seen anything he can't solve. I remember that Zhao Tingzhi planned to keep him out of the imperial examination. Then, because of his fault, Ai They didn't allow him to take part in the provincial examination, but in the end, he still won the number one scholar in my Great Song Dynasty..."

"At that time, the Ai family was angry that the emperor was too wanton, but it turned out that if the emperor had not insisted on it, we, the Song Dynasty, would have lost an unparalleled talent and the pillar of the country..." Having said this, Gao Taotao couldn't help but feel a little bit. Sigh.

The name of Wang Yang's golden ideas has always been circulated among the people. As for the rumor that he was the lucky star of the Song Dynasty, it came from the side of Shaanxi Road. It ended with Da Song's complete victory.

Regardless of the rumors, the important thing is that his ability is obvious to all and known to the world.
