After Gao Qingyi went out, he asked Renzhong and Brother Cha what they meant.

Brother Wei Ming Cha said: "What he said is good, the Han family will not die, and it will be difficult for Western Xia to survive." ”

Wei Mingren Zhong said: "If the four families can send troops together, the Han court will be in danger. But judging from the current situation, it is clear that the two southern families did not agree to raise troops. The so-called four alliances are mostly boasting about this Gao Qingyi! ”

Brother Wei Mingcha said: "His words are naturally untrue, but when it comes to the current situation, it is very permissible!" ”

The opinions of the Western Xia monarchs and ministers were originally hesitant between the battle and defense, and when Gao Qingyi came, not only did Qianshun have tended to send troops, but even Renzhong was also ready to move, and said: "What he said is reasonable, but if you don't have the truth, you can't act rashly." "It was suggested that the envoys should be sent to Tanggu first to peek into the reality of the Han court; At the same time, try to get in touch with the envoys of the Song family who are also in Tanggu; The military, on the other hand, is ready to act at any time.

Qianshun immediately sent an envoy to Tanggu, asking the Han court to cede the old Song homeland restored by Liu Qi in the past six months, and ordered the Jin king Yelu Chage to take charge of Tiande and Yunnei, and keep in touch with Zong Han.

The northwest side is in full swing, and Henan and Jiangdong are not idle. Several envoys disguised as merchants sent by Zong Han really arrived in Kaifeng by luck, and met Zong Bi by introduction, stating the intention of Zong Han's alliance. At this time, among the four separatist forces, Zong Han was under the greatest pressure, at the beginning of the year when Zhi Yan Chong seized Juyong Pass, the existence and destruction of the clouds were really between the two, so Zong Han sent a messenger to see Zong Bi this time, and his posture was very low, and even said that the emperor in the clouds was a helpless move to stabilize people's hearts, and promised that after the matter was completed, the two families were still merged, and Zong Han was willing to serve the second room Zongzi as the emperor. Zong Bi was overjoyed, and agreed to raise troops on the spot, saying that after the matter was completed, Zonghan would be crowned king, and the hereditary replacement would be replaced. The envoys sent by Zong Bi to the north were not as lucky as Zong Han's envoys, and failed to reach Yunzhong, and one of the envoys even defected to report to the Han court halfway. However, the envoys sent by Zong Bi to Jiankang were able to enter the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty smoothly.

At this time, the South Road of the Jin Army had invaded south to Dengzhou and Tangzhou, and the Southern Song Dynasty was unstable from Xiangyang to Huaixi. After the Jingbei guard took Zong Bi's envoy and wanted to expel him from the country, he was persuaded by his staff to imprison the Jin envoy in a sealed car and boat, and he was not allowed to peep into the roads along the way, and sent him to Jiankang along the river. Because the Southern Song Dynasty did not have formal diplomatic relations with the Zongbi regime, the frontier guards often treated these envoys with the treatment of "spies".

When the envoy of the Jin State arrived in Jiankang at the end of 1683, the Jiankang court had already known about the northern expedition. Zhao Gou heard that Yue Fei had sent an envoy from the Jin Kingdom, so he hurriedly sent someone to receive the inquiry, and soon the minister sent back to report and said: "The envoy of the Jin Kingdom is Xu Lin, who came to Jiankang last time, and he said that he came to cede Dengzhou and Tangzhou this time, but he didn't see His Majesty and refused to say in detail. ”

Zhao Gou summoned the ministers to discuss, and the right servant of Shangshu shot Zhao Ding and said: "The Jurchen is insatiable, and now the tiger spits out meat, and there must be a plan." Hearing that Zhiyan rushed north to conquer the desert, the Jin envoy came here, and he would invade Han for the alliance. If His Majesty is willing to cultivate a long-term relationship with the Zhe family, it is not appropriate to summon him. ”

Liu Yudao, the governor of the political affairs: "The golden envoy came from afar, and he was sent if he didn't see it, in case there was indeed a big event, wouldn't it be wrong?" ”

Zhao Gou asked Shangshu Zuo Servant again, and Qin Hui said, "See you." Listen to it. As for how to decide, it is up to Your Majesty. ”

When Zhao Gou heard this, he decided to summon him, Liu Yu said: "The Zhe clan is fighting with Zong Bi in the Yellow River Luxi, and the Jin people are my Zhao clan's enemies. ”

Zhao Gou listened to the advice of the two ministers, secretly summoned Xu Lin, asked Xu Lin's intention, and then summoned the ministers and said: "Xu Lin is here, as Zhao Qing's family expected, he actually invited me to go north." According to what he said, Western Xia and Yunzhong have decided to raise troops and destroy the Zhe clan together. What do you think? ”

Zhao Ding said: "Chen Cheng is terrified, dare to ask Your Majesty, today Zong Han and Zong Bi two chiefs join forces, how is it better than when Yanjing was not broken, and the Jin Army joined forces on the east and west roads?" ”

Zhao said: "Far inferior." ”

Zhao Ding said again: "The corner of Xia in the west of Qianshun is in the northeast compared to the gold lord Wu Qimaizhi that day, what is its situation?" ”

Zhao Gou said: "I'm afraid it's not as good." ”

Zhao Ding said again: "The Han Dynasty opened up the East China Sea and Qin and Jin, and what was the situation compared to when it was really defeated? ”

Zhao Gou said: "Far more than that." ”

Zhao Ding said again: "Han Shizhong has been training troops in the southeast, although it has been a year, but compared to the Han family's sailors, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

Zhao Gou sighed: "General Han is the pillar of the country, the good general of the world, but my Great Song Sailor is still inferior to the Han Navy." ”

Zhao Ding said again: "The momentum of the Han court now is twice as strong as it was back then. And Zong Bi and Zong Han joined forces, but they were not as strong as they were back then, so they added Western Xia, how could it be enough to destroy the Han court? What's more, Zong Bi is isolated from Yunzhong and Xixia for thousands of miles, and there is no token, so his words that the four families raised troops are not true beliefs. What if the southeast and the northwest should not, or if the news of each other is broken by the Han army? And the minister heard that Yang did more benevolent and righteous things in Lianghe, Shandong, and Shaanxi, and did not hesitate to save the elbow and armpit in the clouds, and first awarded the grain of Hebei relief, and the people were grateful, such as admiring their parents. On the situation, it can't be done, on morality, can't do it, please think about it. ”

Liu Yu said: "Otherwise, Zong Bi and Zong Hanzhi dare to raise troops today, because Yu Zhiyanchong has already left Mobei. And the minister heard that Zhe Yan Chong went north because of the army of the northern expedition that he had led in the north. If so, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

Du Chong, the secretary of the military department, said: "The defeat of Mobei is just hearsay, and I can't be sure. Even if it is really defeated, after Zheyan rushed north, the troops of Lunan and Weinan were not transferred to the north, Cao Guangbi was still guarding the Yellow River, Liu Qi, Qu Duan and other good generals, even if the four moved together, they might not be able to raise a big event. And as soon as the war is prosperous, the Han family sailors will inevitably attack, and how should the southeast prevent it when the time comes? "Although Han Shizhong's training of the sailor has become a scale, the Southern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers have suffered a loss, and they are afraid in their hearts, and they can't help but have no confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Song army's sailors.

The ministers spoke one after another, either saying that they could or could not respond, each with their own reasons, but only Shangshu Zuo Servant had not yet spoken. Zhao Gou asked, Qin Hui said: "The country of the Han and Song brothers, even if the Han family is in trouble, my Great Song Dynasty should also help it, how can I fall into the ground?" ”

Zhao Gou frowned slightly, and then ordered the dynasty to disperse, but secretly summoned Qin Hui to see him, and said: "What Qin Qing's family just talked about in the palace, it is very hopeless. ”

Qin Hui suddenly said: "The words of the ministers are all Your Majesty. ”

"For me?" Zhao Gou sneered: "Although it is a far-away disaster, if you don't get rid of this disease, it will be difficult for me to feel at ease." Now is a good opportunity to overthrow the Han court, why does the Qing family insist on opposing it? ”

Qin Hui said: "If Your Majesty has made up his mind to attack the Han Dynasty, why don't you make an arbitrary decision?" Why bother asking the ministers again? ”

Zhao Gou pursed his eyebrows and was silent.

Qin Hui said: "If the minister's expectations are not bad, Your Majesty has three difficulties in his heart. ”

Zhao Gou asked: "Which three difficulties?" ”

Qin Hui raised a finger and said, "First, the victory or defeat of Mobei is not yet known. He raised another finger and said, "Xixia and Yunzhong may not respond." Finally, he raised his third finger and said: "It is a response, in case the four families attack together, they will not be able to destroy the Han family, but they will give the Han family a real mouth and lead troops to invade the south." ”

Zhao Gou sighed and said, "There is indeed this trilemma, it's just ...... Just ......"

Before he could say what it was, Qin Hui had already said: "It's just that if Xiao Tienu is indeed defeated in Mobei, in case Yunzhong and Western Xia will indeed raise troops to respond, and if the Han Dynasty is strong and does not resist the military strength of the four families, then Your Majesty will not miss the opportunity?" ”

Zhao Gou sighed deeply again and said, "Not bad." That's where the hardest part of me is. ”

Qin Hui said: "Therefore, the foolish opinion of the minister, the strategy of the superior, if you attack without attacking, I will not spend a single soldier, but make the Han family look around, solve Your Majesty's three difficulties, and there is no disaster!" ”

Zhao Gou was overjoyed and hurriedly asked what he said.
