The breeze is quiet, the lotus leaves on the shore of Xizi Lake are just blooming, and the boat hides between the lotus leaves.

Cao Hua was sitting on the boat, dressed up by the scholar, holding a folding fan, and cooking tea lightly.

These two months have been running around and fighting, and there is not much time to sit down and rest. Han'er can follow her, but Luzhu and Yutang have suffered, so she can only stay on the boat and stare blankly. Yutang is not bad, but the genius is in trouble in various ways, but she is not very bored. Luzhu, who just had sex with him, was a little aggrieved. She stood on the terrace every day and looked forward to him coming back. Every time she walked to the shore, she could see it. Then Luzhu ran back to the house shyly, waiting, pretending to be very surprised.

This kind of days of separation is almost over, depending on the situation.

Cao Hua made a cup of tea, put it on the small table, looked at Yuchi Hu who was sitting upright in front of him, and chuckled:

"I almost didn't recognize it when I dressed so neatly."

Yuchi Hu is tall and sloppy and can't tell anything. He is so serious that he really has the demeanor of a Confucian general who is good at strategizing. Han'er frowned and kept looking at him secretly. Obviously, he didn't expect that this big fool who is famous in the capital would have such a side.

Yuchi Hu picked up the teacup and took a sip. He was bitter and unspeakable. After thinking for a long time, he still showed his carefree smile in the past:

"Master, you should know why I came here for."

"For what?"

Cao Hua played with the small teacup and looked up.

Yuchi Hu laughed dryly for a moment, then took a deep breath, shook his head and said:

"You can't fight anymore. If you fight again, the Jin soldiers will definitely take advantage of the situation to go south. You can defend the south of the Yangtze River, but the court cannot defend the north of the Yangtze River...

...The emperor cared about the people of the Central Plains and refused to withdraw the heavy troops from the north and headed south...

...If you take advantage of the situation and cause the fall of the north to harm the Central Plains, even if you gain the world, you will be unable to pacify the world. The historical books always have the word "thief" instead of "jun". It's like Shi Jingtang, the son emperor who sent Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures, why bother?"

Cao Hua smiled: "History books are all written by people. I killed the late emperor and was criticized for "Cao Hua killed his king". If you don't do this, where would you tell me to go?"

Yuchi Hu thought for a while: "People cannot be too selfish. The emperor is busy fighting Jin soldiers. You are busy fighting against the emperor. If the emperor drives all the people to kill him, it is reasonable. Now the emperor has gone through the past and you are still siegeing the city and plundering the land. This is no different from taking advantage of the situation. Even if you get the things, who will convince you?"

Cao Hua thought for a while, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "The Queen Mother played a big game behind her and added the serious crime of killing many princes to me, forcing me to rebel against the emperor.

If I don't resist, the emperor has to kill me, so he has no choice but to do so.

I resisted, and the emperor had to kill me. He had no choice but to be justified.

Now I occupy the south of the Western Shu River and have a strong enough power. The imperial court cannot defeat me. The emperor doesn’t have to kill me anymore. You can recruit me.

But at this point, the emperor had to be afraid of me. After recruiting An, he had to find ways to kill me, but he was still forced to do so.

Now the situation is forced by the Queen Mother, and I have no choice but to die if I don’t raise my army. I will stop and die. How do you choose me?"

Yuchi Hu was silent for a long time and sighed softly:

"......You already have such power. If the Lord trusts you, you have to suspect it. After all, Zhao's family is not just the Lord, and this is a dead end...

...As a person has never died in life, he will leave his loyalty to shine in history...

...You said this. Now facing a strong enemy from Jin soldiers, the emperor is the outside commander to resist Jin and the internal reorganization of the army. He wants to pull the Song Dynasty back from the edge of the cliff...

......You take advantage of the situation and the emperor will either be the foolish monarch who surrendered to the Jin Dynasty and humiliated the country to pacify you, or be the fallen monarch who guards the country's gates...

......You can have a peace of conscience?"

"Since ancient times, no one has died, but I will leave my loyalty to shine in history..."

Cao Hua put down the teacup and shook his head:

"I don't want to die."

Yuchi Hu's eyes showed a little disappointment, and he looked at the beautiful West Lake view, and was silent for a long time:

"Then I can only see it on the battlefield. I, Yuchi Hu, are not a loyal and martyr, but you are not a monarch worthy of helping... The Song Dynasty is not all dirty villains. There are many people who think like me. You may not be able to stop your division of the border and splitting the country, but if you want to destroy the Song Dynasty, my Yuchi family will be the first to refuse."

"Under the general trend, you can't help but agree or not."

Cao Hua poured a cup of tea and put it back in front of Yuchi Hu.

Yuchi Hu looked down and waved his sleeves and swept the teacup into the West Lake.

Peace talks, so far...

--------

The incense lingers in the imperial study room.

The important ministers of the imperial court in the Song Dynasty stood in the middle with a gloomy face, and no one spoke.

Zhao Zhe had a deep look and looked at a memorial for a long time, with every sentence he said on Xizi Lake.

After a long time, a sigh rang out in the imperial study room and the fold was placed on the desk.

Zheng Juzhong's eyes were filled with anger: "Cao Hua's ambition is that the emperor compromised many times, but he still refused to withdraw his troops. He is really bullying me, no one in the Song Dynasty."

"So what if someone is."

Zhao Che shook his head and sighed softly: "It's all a forced one. He saved me, but I really can't believe him. I'm lying beside the bed, so how can I allow others to snore? I'll try every means to get rid of him after being invited. Cao Hua is still good at Cao Hua. I understand this truth, and he understands it too."

Zheng Juzhong's eyes remained angry: "Cao Hua is enough to divide the border and stand up for his own independence. Foreign enemies are in front of him. Even if he is not recruited, he should be truce. It is so aggressive and he is really ambition. In the eyes of the old minister, it is better to negotiate with the Jin Kingdom..."

"I can't talk."

Zhao Zhe raised his hand: "The more this happens, the more greedy the Jin Kingdom will be. Cao Hua can take advantage of the situation, and I cannot defeat the people and ignore them."

"The Lord."
