Chapter 871

"Was my original decision to crusade against the Northern Song correct or incorrect?"

Zhao Gou couldn't help but think in his heart.

"This is all the Great Jin's fault!!!"

"This is all the Great Jin's fault for breaking their promise!!!"

"It is not the Emperor's fault!!! This is all the Great Jin's fault!"

Zhao Gou shouted loudly as if he were crazy.

He felt that if it weren't for the Great Jin suddenly tearing up the alliance treaty made before the Southern Song sent troops to the Northern Song, and launching a surprise attack on his rear.

Even if the Northern Song had the help of the Great Tang, he, Zhao Gou, would absolutely not have lost so miserably!

"The Emperor will make the Great Jin pay the price!!!"

"The Wanyan family are a bunch of scoundrels!!!! It's making the Emperor furious, making the Emperor furious!"

After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Song Gao Zong Zhao Gou finally emerged from the furious mood he had just been in.

Subsequently, he thought of what Yao Yue Fei had said to him when he left:

"If you truly want to save the Southern Song, then withdraw all the troops in the Northern Song to defend against the Great Jin's army!"

Regarding some of the things Yao Yue Fei said to him about military strategy and combat, Zhao Gou did not understand at all. However, now that the country was experiencing war, Zhao Gou knew that only by handing all the soldiers to capable people.

Could they make the Southern Song slowly get better.

Thinking of this, the thought of handing all the remaining forty percent of the Southern Song's only troops to Yao Yue Fei rose in Song Gao Zong Zhao Gou's heart.

Subsequently, Zhao Gou called Qin Gui over.

"Minister Qin!!"

Zhao Gou shouted loudly toward the outside of the imperial palace.

Hearing Zhao Gou's words, Qin Gui walked in happily.

Although Qin Gui had already planned his retreat and had long since become a traitor to the Southern Song, throwing himself into the embrace of the Great Jin.

But now that he was still in the Southern Song, naturally, when facing Song Gao Zong Zhao Gou, he still had to act like the most loyal lapdog.

"Your Majesty, what does the Emperor need from the Minister?"

Zhao Gou bowed slightly toward Zhao Gou and spoke.

Looking at Qin Gui before him, a smile couldn't help but appear on Zhao Gou's face.

For some reason, whenever he saw Qin Gui, Zhao Gou would feel a sense of happiness in his heart involuntarily.

"Minister Qin, the Emperor wants to hand over all the troops of our Southern Song to Grand General Yao Yue Fei to control. What do you think about this?"

Zhao Gou said slowly to Qin Gui.

Regarding Qin Gui, Song Gao Zong Zhao Gou trusted him one hundred percent. In Zhao Gou's heart, even if Grand General Yao Yue Fei betrayed him, Zhao Gou, Qin Gui would absolutely never betray him.

After all, Zhao Gou's treatment of Qin Gui was not just ordinary favor.

Upon hearing Zhao Gou's words, Qin Gui's heart was shocked, his vision went black instantly, and he almost sat on the ground.

However, fortunately, he stabilized his figure in the end; otherwise, he would have lost face before Zhao Gou.

Facing Zhao Gou's question, Qin Gui did not answer immediately.

After all, in Qin Gui's heart, he was definitely ten thousand times unwilling to let Yao Yue Fei control all the troops of the Southern Song. After all, Qin Gui had already bet all his assets on the Great Jin.

And in the Southern Song, he, Qin Gui, had also done too many evil things, and had done too many things that were unfair to the Song Gao Zong Zhao Gou before his eyes.

If he truly listened to what Zhao Gou said and handed over all the troops currently possessed by the Southern Song to Yao Yue Fei to control, relying on Yao Yue Fei's ability, perhaps he could truly reverse this nearly unsolvable situation and slowly drive the Great Jin's army out of the Southern Song's territory!

By that time, Qin Gui's assets on the Great Jin's side would be gone. Although Qin Gui would feel very distressed, it was not a fatal matter.

But if one day, everything Qin Gui was doing now was discovered by Zhao Gou, that would be the most fatal thing.

After all, Qin Gui had committed the crime of treason. By then, no matter how much Zhao Gou favored him, he would absolutely not be able to protect the head on Qin Gui's shoulders.

So as far as Qin Gui was concerned, he was absolutely unwilling to let Yao Yue Fei have complete power.

It might be because Qin Gui was a bit guilty now, but when Song Gao Zong Zhao Gou suddenly asked him this question, he actually didn't dare to speak his thoughts for a moment.

Qin Gui felt that Zhao Gou was testing him now. After all, some time ago, Zhao Gou saw that the Great Jin's situation was very good, and the Jin army was advancing triumphantly, so Qin Gui got a bit carried away. Toward Song Gao Zong Zhao Gou at that time, Qin Gui was acting indifferent.

Song Gao Zong Zhao Gou looked at Qin Gui before him who had not spoken, and a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"Minister Qin, just say whatever you have to say. In the Emperor's heart, the person the Emperor trusts most now is you."

"If even you cannot give the Emperor a suggestion now, the Emperor truly doesn't know who to ask."

Song Gao Zong Zhao Gou said slowly to Qin Gui, and there was even a trace of request in his tone.

After Qin Gui heard Zhao Gou's words, Qin Gui was also a bit stunned for a moment.

"Could it be that this fool is truly asking me?"

Qin Gui murmured in his heart, and subsequently, he carefully tested Zhao Gou:

"Your Majesty, the Minister feels that this matter is inappropriate."

"The Minister doesn't care if what I say today will make Your Majesty misunderstand that the Minister has any disloyal intentions, but the Minister must still say everything I want to say!"

After finishing, Zhao Gou knelt directly on the ground with a thud, and even buried his head on the floor.

Looking at Qin Gui at this moment, Song Gao Zong Zhao Gou was stunned, and subsequently, Zhao Gou shouted loudly at Qin Gui:

"Minister Qin, what are you doing!!!"

"Get up quickly, get up and speak."

"Minister Qin, no matter what you say today, the Emperor will not blame you!"

Hearing such words from Zhao Gou, a smile of success appeared on Qin Gui's face, which was low on the ground.

"It seems this fool truly has no precautions against me at all. That makes things much easier."

Qin Gui thought secretly in his heart.

Subsequently, Qin Gui forcibly squeezed a few tears from his own eyes, raised his head, and spoke with emotion, as if he were a loyal minister about to die for his sovereign.

"Your Majesty, according to the Minister's opinion, you must absolutely not hand over all the military power to Yao Yue Fei!"

"Now, Yao Yue Fei's Yao Yue Family Army only listens to Yao Yue Fei alone and not to the imperial power."

"Because Yao Yue Fei has always been on the front line of resisting the Jin, he is also loved and respected by the people!"

"If you hand over all the military power of our Great Song to Yao Yue Fei now, then will our Great Song be surnamed Yao Yue or surnamed Zhao in the future?"

"By then, when Yao Yue Fei controls all the power of the Great Song and can manipulate the Great Song at will, will he still be able to listen to Your Majesty as he does now? Or will he rely on his troops to act arrogantly?"

"Or even... do something rebellious!?"

Qin Gui cried while shouting loudly at Zhao Gou.

What Qin Gui said now was indeed a statement that pierced the heart; every one of his words spoke to Zhao Gou's heart.

Actually, there was no need to mention Zhao Gou; even any random emperor, upon hearing such words, would inevitably have all sorts of unusual emotions in his heart.

And Song Gao Zong Zhao Gou, who heard Qin Gui's words, also gradually had his face turn black.

After Qin Gui's reminder, he thought of their Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. Their Zhao family had originally obtained this Great Song's world precisely by relying on their troops to act arrogantly!

So regarding these words Qin Gui said, Zhao Gou had a very great feeling in his heart.

After much thinking, Zhao Gou finally let out a sigh of helplessness and made a "withdraw" gesture toward Qin Gui.

After Qin Gui's fuss, Zhao Gou truly did not dare to hand over all the troops in his hands.

He wanted to wait for a period of time, observe the future situation, and then make the next decision!
