Chapter 687

"After all, there are hundreds of thousands of people who have been fighting between the Song Dynasty and the Xixia for many years. If the Xixia uses this as a condition to exchange prisoners of war, how will our Song Dynasty deal with it?"

"Ten hundred thousand people return to Song, and tens of thousands of elite Western Xia return to Xia..." Zhao Xu couldn't help but take a breath.

"There are not so many Western Xia army captured by me in the Song Dynasty." Gao Taotao couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhao Xu's stunned look when he heard this number. Where did this child have any idea?

Zhao Xu, who had come back to his senses, laughed dryly a few embarrassedly. "It was my grandson who was distracted. Before, we captured nearly 40,000 prisoners of war, and then, the Xixia prisoners of war were captured one after another, which was about 35,000, which was 75,000."

"The 75,000 prisoners of war are mostly elite troops from Xixia and the soldiers who have been through battle formations for a long time. If they are all released, the strength of Xixia will be sufficiently protected even if they are not enterprising enough. At that time, even if they dare not confront our Song Dynasty for the time being, they will definitely think of ways to cause trouble to the small countries around them, suck the blood of the countries to restore their strength."

Hearing Gao Taotao's analysis, Zhao Xu's face became increasingly ugly. "No wonder grandson always felt that it was inappropriate. If so many prisoners of war were really returned, at that time, if I really wanted to pacify Xixia, it would be much more difficult."

"It's this reason. The problem is that I, the Song Dynasty, have 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 that will have a grudge against the court..."

"Are we really helpless? Grandson is really unwilling to accept it." Zhao Xu couldn't help but walk around in annoyance. "If I had known this, I would have let them kill the prisoners of war directly, I'm afraid it would be easier."

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

Zhao Xu could only sigh and said, "Killing prisoners without pretending to behave." This is an eternal truth. The Grandson of the Soldier Saint also said: The disaster is no greater than killing and surrendering."

There are two famous figures who caused great disaster due to the murder and surrender, one is Bai Qi, the "God of War" in the Warring States Period; the other is Xiang Yu, who claimed to be the "Overlord".

Bai Qi killed 400,000 surrendered soldiers of Zhao State in the Battle of Changping, leaving only more than 200 boy scouts back to Zhao State to report the news; Xiang Yu also killed 200,000 surrendered soldiers of Qin State in Xin'an.

In the end, the two big men had a very miserable end. Bai Qi was forced to commit suicide by the King of Qin. Before he died, he asked himself: "Why did I blame the heavens for this?" Later, he replied: "I should die. In the Battle of Changping, hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers surrendered. I cheated and cheated them all, which was enough to die." It seemed that Bai Qi understood it very much.

In a word, if you kill prisoners on a large scale, it will definitely leave a shame in history books and even leave an eternal infamous in history.

I am afraid that no one can bear this responsibility, and the consequences of the prisoner killing are afraid to easily imitate.

"My grandson was in a hurry and said some excessive words. Please don't blame the emperor and grandmother. The grandson is the king of a country, so he shouldn't have such thoughts..." Zhao Xu, who had returned to the Qingming Festival, apologized to Gao Taotao with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, the government can reflect on itself and show the sign of a lord. It is a blessing for me to be a great Song." Gao Taotao smiled and pulled Zhao Xu's arm, allowing him to sit in front of him again, and the kindness on his face became more and more obvious.

The grandparents and grandsons were very troubled by this matter. This move by Xixia was clearly an open conspiracy. In other words, it was impossible for the Song Dynasty to bite the bullet and act stubbornly. After all, the Song Dynasty had a better face than other countries.

"...Ah, the Ai family did not expect that the soldiers from Shaanxi Road achieved such a victory for our Song Dynasty. In the end, they would have to send the prisoners of war out of the country. I wonder what they would think." Gao Taotao sighed slowly.

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

Seeing Zhao Xu's sad face, Gao Taotao couldn't bear it, but she really had no good idea to solve this problem.

The official family has no choice, and he has no choice. In the world, I am afraid that someone can find a way to deal with this matter. Huh? Gao Taotao suddenly lit up. "Or, the official family, please ask Wang Wushan?"

"Ask him?" Zhao Xu didn't react a little, subconsciously thinking, could he still solve such a thing?

"Yes, I just ask him." Gao Taotao nodded with greater certainty. "I heard for a long time that Wang Wushan is my lucky star of the Song Dynasty, and it is also a rare golden idea for my Song Dynasty. If there is a way to deal with this among the people in the world, he is afraid that he will be the only one."

Zhao Xu also came back to his senses, his eyes shining as if he was injected with chicken blood. "Yes, why didn't I expect that every time he did something, it was almost impossible for the world to succeed, but it always made him beyond everyone's expectations. Perhaps he could have a way to do this."

Zhao Xu was a little uncontrollable at this moment, and he wanted to quickly pick up his pen and write a letter to Wang Wushan now. "Thank you, my grandmother, for your advice, so my grandson will say goodbye first."

"Go to the official family, the Ai family always has a feeling that Wang Wushan should be able to find a way to deal with it." Gao Taotao nodded slightly at Zhao Xu and said with a smile.

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

"Well, the Ai family has a premonition, and he will definitely think of a way to be beautiful in both worlds. Although the Ai family has no idea, when they think of that magical boy, they have an idea in their hearts, maybe they can let him try it." Gao Taotao replied confidently.

"After that being said, since the Ai family heard that the boy's reputation has never seen anything he could not solve. I remember that Zhao Tingzhi designed to keep him out of the imperial examination. Then, because of his mistakes, the Ai family refused to participate in the provincial examination. As a result, they still won the top scorer in the Song Dynasty..."

"At that time, the Ai family was angry that the emperor was too reckless, but they found out that if it weren't for the emperor's insistence, our Song Dynasty would probably have lost a great talent and a pillar of the country..." When he said this, Gao Taotao couldn't help but sigh.

Wang Yang's name of golden ideas has been circulating among the people. As for the rumor that he is the lucky star of the Song Dynasty, it came from the other side of Shaanxi Road. All these battles he participated in ended with the great victory of the Song Dynasty.
