Chapter 71 Section 5 Shi Hao Misgovernment

Zhang Jun and Shi Hao, one is the main battle and the other is the main peace. Although the perspectives of persuasion are different, they each have their own reasons.Song Xiaozong had difficulty making a decision for a while.So, what prompted Xiaozong to make a decision, did he choose "war" or "peace"?What will be the final result? Shi Hao continued to write to the emperor that our army should fight against the people of the Kingdom of Jin on the Sichuan-Shanxi battlefield. The front line should not be stretched too long. The purpose of our defense of Shaanxi is to defend Sichuan. Instead, he died in Shu.Therefore, the thirteen military states that Wu Lin sent troops to capture should be given up and concentrate on protecting Shu.When the emperor heard it, he felt that it was reasonable, so he issued an edict to Wu Lin, and immediately dismissed the thirteen military states he occupied.

After Wu Lin received the edict, his subordinates persuaded him one after another that the general will be away, and the emperor's order will not be accepted. The emperor's edict came for no reason, and we can't be teachers.Wu Lin thought over and over again, the new lord has just succeeded to the throne, and I am a general with a heavy army in my hand. If I don't obey the emperor's edict, the emperor will have no prestige.It doesn't matter whether the edict is right or wrong, only the minister is wrong, not the king.China has been like this since ancient times, the emperor is holy, and the ministers should be punished for their crimes. We must abide by it.Therefore, Wu Lin made the same choice as Yue Fei. He knew that if the edict was implemented, there would be serious consequences, but he still followed the imperial edict.

The Jin army took advantage of Wu Lin's class division and took advantage of the situation to hide and kill. Not only were all the military states they gained were captured by the Jin people, but also the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Song army almost lost their lives, and less than 7,000 people returned to the Song territory.Yu Yunwen was very sad when he saw this situation, and told Emperor Xiaozong about the situation when he went to Beijing for his mission.Only at this time did Xiaozong wake up, and shouted that Shi Hao had misunderstood me.How can we not want the land we occupy?The plan to restore the Central Plains cannot be delayed, and must continue!Xiaozong began to reorganize the army, mobilize horses and fight hard, and put on a posture of the Northern Expedition.
