Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Li Renli said, "How many people are here?"

"No... I don't know. The place where the Song army camped is very hidden, but there are many flags, and the march is divided into multiple routes."

"Let Ye Cirong go to the Song camp again to negotiate with the Song people."

"Yes!"

In the afternoon, Liu Xi was taking a nap when Ye Cirong came.

Wang Fu, who had just read the scout information, also received the news and rushed to Liu Xi's barracks.

"General, we meet again."

"It's you thief again, how dare you come to my place?"

"General, now that the two armies are at war, if you could release our people back then, what happened today would not have happened!"

"Shit! You are making excuses!"

Ye Cirong said: "Now that the 30 troops of my Baigao Daxia Kingdom have arrived, I wonder if you are willing to hand over your people?"

"There are no such people at all, you are provoking troubles to start a war!" Liu Xi was ready to turn his face on the spot, "Come here, drag this person out and chop him up..."

"Wait!" Wang Fu yelled quickly, "The two armies are fighting without beheading."

Ye Cirong was frightened into a cold sweat. He forced a smile and said: "If you don't hand over people, the peace between the two countries will disappear."

"Messenger, there is a trade between Song and Xia. If the war starts, the trade will be shut down. Please think carefully."

"Now it's not a matter of trade, but our people have been detained by you. If you don't let them go, how can we explain to the soldiers of the three armed forces?"

"The envoy thinks that the war between the two countries will benefit your country of Xia?"

"Your Excellency, please don't change the subject."

But Wang Fu continued: "We can launch a large-scale war in Yinzhou, and continue to send troops from Shaanxi to continue the fight, but don't forget that there is a Jin country to the north. Once your Xia country's strength is damaged, Jin will The country's iron hooves will crush you in no time!"

"That way, Shaanxi can't be preserved!" Ye Cirong said.

"My Song Dynasty is rich all over the world, and I can recruit hundreds of millions of good fighters. What does Shaanxi gain or lose for a while, but you are facing the destruction of the country and extinction!"

"Hehe, even if you say the sky is falling, we will not withdraw our troops!"

Wang Fu said: "Messenger, please bring back my original words to your commander. I hope he will think twice before acting. The Great Song Dynasty and your Xia Kingdom are friendly states."

After Ye Cirong left, Liu Xi said angrily, "Why didn't you kill him?"

"Liu Tongzhi calm down, killing him is useless, but he revealed some information from him."

"Oh?"

Wang Fu said: "I asked him, if the two countries go to war, the strength will be greatly damaged, and the Jin army will go south to flatten Xixia, and he said that the Song Dynasty will not be able to survive."

"What does this mean?"

"It shows that the Xixia people know the stakes."

"What does that mean?"

"The people of Xixia dispatched so many troops. First, they didn't attack Weirong Village, and second, they didn't send troops to attack us. Instead, they sent an envoy. Why?"

Liu Xi looked puzzled: "Why?"

"Because the Xixia people are testing our attitude, the Xixia people are not sure what we think! Once we hesitate, they must know that we have concerns, and then send envoys to say that as long as we return Yinzhou, they will withdraw their troops."

"Why is this?"

"Because they only want to take Yinzhou back, they don't want to really go to war with us at all. Didn't the envoy reveal it just now? They know that once the two countries go to war, only Jin will benefit."

Liu Xi finally understood: "You mean, as long as we return Yinzhou, they will withdraw their troops?"

"That's right, this is a military mobilization against Yinzhou. The Xixia people want to surrender without fighting when I march eastward," Wang Fu said.

"Then we have to fight even more!" Liu Xi said, "We must not let the Xixia people know that we have concerns."

Wang Fu smiled bitterly: "We do have concerns. Once the war starts, there is no guarantee when it will end."

Liu Xi thought about it carefully, and he said again: "I understand what you mean, both of us have concerns, but if we really fight, both sides can only continue to expand the war, and the situation will uncontrollably go to the benefit of Jin The direction of the country's development?"

"That's right, there is a class called Deterrence Balance in the Martial Arts Hall, which talks about this principle. All parties have the idea of ​​sending troops, but all parties have concerns about not wanting to send troops, so as to achieve a kind of sending troops but not fighting, maintaining A state of balance between the threat of silence, I heard that the theory was written by the officials themselves."

Liu Xi sighed, and said: "It would be great if the imperial court didn't go to the east, then the Jingzhao Mansion would have no worries, and Liu Shuai would naturally have no worries, let alone us."

Wang Fu sighed, and said: "The situation is unclear, we should maintain the status quo and wait for the opportunity. It would be great if the court could end the war in Korea this month."

Chapter 618 Xixia may have messed up the situation (third update)

On the evening of October [-], gusts of cold wind swept across the streets of Tokyo.

People walking on the street have already put on thick clothes.

A little brother walked into the fan building carrying an exquisite box, and this delicious dinner was delivered to Zhang Sijun's room on the third floor.

It is not surprising that outside has been popular in Tokyo for many years in the Song Dynasty.

While Zhang Sijun was enjoying her dinner, suddenly there was a burst of voices outside the window: "Good news! Good news! Master Wang defeated the 30 rebels in Goryeo! Captured the leader of the rebels alive!"

The voice of the messenger attracted the attention of countless people.

At this time, Cai Mao had just finished his day's work. He saw Zhao Ding who was about to go home at the gate of the palace, and hurried over.

"Mr. Zhao."

"Cai Xianggong."

"Mr. Zhao, you should be more cautious about the war in Koryo. It may involve the Northwest Frontier Defense and the Hebei Frontier Defense. If it lasts too long, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"I haven't thought about what you said." Zhao Ding said, "But Wang Taiwei has made it clear that the battle of Goryeo is related to the survival of Fuzhou. Goryeo has made a statement with practical actions. They stand On the side of the Jin people, if the anti-Song forces in Goryeo are not uprooted, the consequences will be disastrous."

Cai Mao said: "If the Xixia people send a heavy army to Yinzhou now, will Shaanxi fight or not?"

"The Xixia people have made a lot of money in the market, and the chances of sending troops are not high."

"But what if Jin Guo is instigating it at this time?"

"Then find a way to delay and send someone to negotiate."

"But what if the Xixia people seize the opportunity and want to take back Yinzhou?" Cai Mao asked continuously, "If the Xixia people take action, the Northwest War resumes, and I fight against Goryeo on the east front, what will the Jinren do?" move?"

There was a trace of pain on Zhao Ding's face that was not obvious, but his mood was very stable all the time. He said: "Wait a little longer, give Gao Li a little more time, what we need to invest may not be as much as we imagined."

"I can't wait any longer. Goryeo will definitely drag my Great Song Dynasty into the abyss of war. Think about Sui Yangdi Yang Guang..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the messenger suddenly rushed towards the gate of the palace: "Good news! Master Wang defeated 30 rebels in Koryo, captured the rebel minister Jin Fushi, and welcomed Wang Kai back to Kaijing!"

Cai Mao: "..."

Zhao Ding was also stunned, he also thought he had heard wrong.

The two stared blankly at the messenger rushing all the way into the palace.

Cai Mao said, "Did he say the good news just now?"

Zhao Ding said: "Yes."

"Destroyed 30 Koryo rebels?"

"That's what it said."

Cai Mao said again: "Have you captured Jin Fushi?"

Zhao Ding said: "Han Shizhong should not dare to lie about the military situation, besides, Qin Hui is also in Korea."

"Zhao Xianggong, please help me, I'm a little dizzy."

The news was quickly sent to Wende Hall.

Zhao Ning was going to have dinner with Qian Jinshu, when he heard the news, he immediately called the chief executives back.

Zhao Ning said, "Did you issue an edict to the military envoys of the towns along the border to conquer Korea and stabilize the border?"

"There is such a thing, it is to prevent the border commanders from expanding the war at will."

Zhao Guanjia asked again: "How much did the conquest of Goryeo cost?"

Zhang Shuye said: "It should not exceed 50 guan."

"Immediately lift the decree to stabilize the border. If the enemy invades the border, fight as you like."

"Yes, I'm going to send a letter now."

He Li said: "Song Xia and Song Jin both have a lot of business in the market, Xixia should not pick trouble at this time, and neither will Jin."

"I hope not, but if you want to make trouble, I will never bear it!"

On October 25th, in Chang'an City, Shaanxi General System Establishment Division.

Zhang Jun received the latest military report from Yinzhou.

Many things only need to be calculated and you know that you can't do it casually, because the risks are too great to be borne by any one person.

In the second year of Jingkang, Zhang Jun engaged in affairs in Shaanxi and sent all the Western troops outside Chang'an to fight a big battle with the Jin people.

That's because the Great Song Dynasty had no other choice but to put all their eggs in one basket.

But one cannot always be desperate.

Most all-or-nothings die horribly.

In the seventh year of Jingkang, many internal situations in the Song Dynasty had undergone great changes.

The New Deal faction spent a lot of effort to implement the New Deal, and also made a lot of reforms in the military and government.

Zhao Guan's family has its own strategic plan to destroy Xia.

It would be very unwise to take the risk of going to war with Xixia in such a special period.

Fortunately, Liu Qi is still stable, and the two sides confronted each other in Weirongzhai.

Lu Zhi was the first to say: "The excuses made by the Xixia people are really insulting the intelligence of all of us here."

Everyone else laughed, and the atmosphere seemed to be quite relaxed.

"The people of Xixia have been preparing armor in Hengshan for the past two years, gathering the army and the people, and they are ambitious." Liu Ziyu said, "The battle between Song and Xia is only a matter of time, but at this time, don't you find it strange?"

"You mean, Jin Guo instigated?"

"That's right, it was the Jin people who instigated it behind their backs. They wanted to make us fight on two fronts in the Great Song Dynasty, which would greatly consume the strength of our Great Song army. Once we succeed, the Jin army will surely go south again on a large scale!"

"The gold thief will never die!" Lu Zhi said.

Zhang Jun said: "Let's get back to the topic. According to the confirmed news so far, the Xixia people have assembled nearly [-] troops. It seems that they are well prepared. What do you think will happen next?"

Lu Zhi said: "Since the Xixia people already know that I am using troops to the east, they will inevitably expand the scale of the war. However, they only sent troops to besiege Weirong Village and have not done anything. It is obvious that Xixia is extremely conservative inside, and they have their own fears."

After a pause, Lu Zhi said: "Their goal is only Yinzhou. If I guess correctly, the Xixia people will increase their troops and keep putting pressure on us to return Yinzhou to them."

"Since it's a deterrent, we won't show our feet easily." Liu Ziyu said, "But I still have the question, what will happen if we really fight the Xixia people?"

"All the court guilds strongly oppose it!" said Fan Zhixu, the Lu Jinglue envoy of the Yongxing Army who had been silent all this time, "The large-scale battle on the two fronts immediately turned into a full-scale war in the north, because once the large-scale war broke out in the Song and Xia Dynasties, Jin Guo It is bound to take advantage of the opportunity to do something, it is best not to happen, otherwise we will all be blamed!"

Liu Ziyu looked at Zhang Jun: "This question is really tricky."

Zhang Jun said: "Even if we want to send troops, it is impossible. The imperial court has clearly sent a letter. During the critical period, we must stabilize the situation in the northwest and not act rashly."

Just when everyone was at a loss, someone suddenly walked in from outside: "Report! There is an urgent report from the capital!"

Zhang Jun took it, and everyone was curious, what kind of urgent news could Tokyo deliver at this time?

After Zhang Jun read it, he was stunned for a moment: "The rebellious officials and thieves in Goryeo have been calmed down, and the border guards have been relieved!"

Fan Zhixu quickly said: "Quick! Send a letter to Liu Kai!"

Chapter 619 The True Intentions of the Xixia People (Part [-])

Lu Zhi said: "The Xixia people don't know about this, they are still increasing their troops, and the situation will still not be resolved!"

Lu Zhi is right. The key now is that the people of Xixia have already determined that the resources of the Song Dynasty are heavy in Korea, so they dare to jump out at this critical moment.

The war situation in Goryeo is considered to be stable now, but the Xixia people don't know it!

"Then let's go and tell the Xixia people that it's okay." Liu Ziyu said.

"Are you going to tell the Xixia people that our dynasty has completely defeated Goryeo?" Fan Zhixu shook his head, "If you were from Xixia, would you believe it?"

"I really don't believe it, I just think it's a clumsy deception by Song people." Liu Ziyu smiled awkwardly.

"So, the battle of Yinzhou may be hard to avoid."
