Chapter 687

"After all, between my Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia, I have been at war for many years, and the people who have been captured by Western Xia for many years are afraid that there are hundreds of thousands, if Western Xia uses this as a condition to exchange prisoners of war, how will my Great Song Dynasty deal with it?"

"Hundreds of thousands of people returned to the Song Dynasty, and hundreds of thousands of Western Xia elites returned to the summer......" Zhao Xu couldn't help but gasp.

"The number of Western Xia troops captured by my Great Song Dynasty is not so much." Gao Taotao saw Zhao Xu's stunned appearance after hearing this number, and couldn't help laughing, where did this kid's brain go.

Zhao Xu, who came back to his senses, laughed a few times embarrassedly. "It's my grandson who is distracted, before us, there were nearly 40,000 prisoners of war captured, and after that, there were almost 35,000 Western Xia prisoners of war captured one after another, that is, 75,000 people."

"Seventy-five thousand prisoners of war, most of them are the elite divisions of Western Xia, the soldiers who have been in battle for a long time, if they are all released, the strength of Western Xia, even if it is not enterprising, should be more than self-preservation, at that time, even if they dare not confront my Great Song Dynasty for the time being, then they will definitely find a way to find trouble with the small countries around it, suck the blood of all countries, and restore their strength."

Hearing Gao's eloquent analysis, Zhao Xu's face became more and more difficult to look at. "No wonder my grandson always feels inappropriate, if so many prisoners of war are really returned, at that time, if my Great Song really wants to pacify Western Xia, it will inevitably be much more difficult."

"That's the truth, the problem is that my Great 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 roadside of Shaanxi who will have a grudge against the court......

"Are we really at a loss for what we can do? The grandson is really unwilling. Zhao Xu couldn't help but walk around irritably. Knowing this, they should have beheaded the prisoners of war directly, and I am afraid that they would be more happy. ”

"If that's the case, I'm afraid that even those heroes who are fighting in the border army today won't be able to escape the infamy of the ages." Although Gao Taotao could understand Zhao Xu's irritability, he still reminded his grandson very rationally.

Zhao Xu could only sigh a long sigh, killing prisoners is not a feint, this is an unswerving truth, and the grandson of the soldier saint also has a cloud: there is no greater disaster than killing and surrendering.

There are two famous figures who caused great disasters due to the killing and surrender, 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 400,000 soldiers of Zhao in the Battle of Changping, leaving only more than 200 boy scouts to return to Zhao to report the news; Xiang Yu also killed 200,000 Qin soldiers in Xin'an Pit.

In the end, the fate of these two big men was very miserable, Bai Qi was forced by King Qin to judge himself, and before he died, he asked himself: "Why am I guilty of heaven and come here?" Later, he replied, "I deserve to die." In the Battle of Changping, hundreds of thousands of people surrendered to Zhao, and I deceived and did everything I could, which was enough to die. It seems that Bai Qi understands very well in his heart.

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

I'm afraid that no one can afford this responsibility, and the fate of those who kill prisoners is not easy to follow.

The grandson was in a hurry, said something excessive, and asked the imperial grandmother not to blame. Sun Er is the king of a country, and he really shouldn't have such thoughts......" Zhao Xu, who had regained his clarity, bowed to Gao Tao a little embarrassed and said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, the official family can reflect on themselves, which has shown the omen of the king, which is really the blessing of my Great Song Dynasty." Gao Tao smiled and pulled Zhao Xu's arm, allowing him to sit down in front of him again, and the kindness on his face became more and more obvious.

#####

The ancestors and grandsons had a big headache for this matter, and this trick of the Western Xia was clearly a conspiracy, that is to say, it was impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to play a trick on the head, after all, the Great Song Dynasty had a better face than other countries.

“…… Alas, the mourning family did not expect that the soldiers of Shaanxi Road would achieve such a victory for our Great Song Dynasty, but in the end, they would send those prisoners of war out of the country in front of their eyes, and I don't know what they would think. Gao Tao sighed leisurely.

Listening to Gao'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 Tao couldn't bear it, but she really didn't have any good ideas to solve it.

The official family can't help it, and they can't help it, in the world, I'm afraid that people who can think of a way to deal with this matter, huh? Gao Taotao's eyes lit up suddenly. "Or, official, can you ask Wang Wushan?"

"Ask him?" Zhao Xu didn't react a little, and subconsciously felt that this kind of thing, could he Wang Wushan still be able to solve it?

"Yes, just ask him." Gao Tao nodded more and more affirmatively. "I have heard for a long time that Wang Wushan is the lucky star of my Great Song Dynasty, and it is a rare golden idea of my Great 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, and his eyes seemed to light up as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. "That's right, I didn't expect that every time he does something, in the eyes of the world, it is almost impossible to succeed, but it can always make him unexpected by everyone, maybe he can also have a way to do this."

At this moment, Zhao Xu was a little difficult to control, and he couldn't wait to hurry up and write a letter to Wang Wushan now. "Thank you for the imperial grandmother's reminder, and the grandson will leave first."

"Go to the official family, the mourning family always has a feeling that Wang Wushan should be able to think of a way to deal with it." Gao Tao smiled slightly at Zhao Xu.

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

"Well, the mourning family has a hunch, and he must be able to think of a way to get the best of both worlds. Although the mourning family didn't have a clue at all, when they thought of that amazing boy, they had an idea in their hearts that maybe they could let him give it a try. Gao Tao replied firmly.

"Having said that, since the mourning family heard about that kid's reputation, he hasn't seen anything he can't solve, and I remember that at the beginning, Zhao Tingzhi designed to reject him from the imperial examination. Then, because of his fault, the mourning family did not allow him to participate in the provincial examination, and as a result, they still won the champion of my Great Song Dynasty......"

"At that time, the mourning family was also angry that the Son of Heaven was too wanton, only to find out that if it weren't for the Son of Heaven's insistence, I'm afraid that I would lose a great talent and a pillar of the country......" Speaking of this, Gao Tao couldn't help but sigh a little.

Wang Yang's name of golden idea has been circulating among the people, as for the rumor that he is the lucky star of the Great Song Dynasty, it came from the side of Shaanxi Road, but all the battles in which he participated ended in the great victory of the Great Song Dynasty.

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