In the spring of the seventh year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, in order to appease Hebei, Jingdong, and Jingxi Zhulu, the Bianliang Imperial Court issued an edict to pardon the displaced people from all over the country as thieves, hoping that they would hurry home to farm and live in peace, and stop causing trouble. When the fortune of the Great Song Dynasty deteriorated, the remnants of Da Liao finally entered the grave: in February of this year, when Yelu Yanxi fled to the east of Yingzhou New City for sixty miles, he was caught up and captured by Wan Yan Lou, the deputy marshal of the Jinguo West Route Army, and the Great Liao perished. At this point, the thorn of the Khitan was finally pulled out of the hearts of the Jurchens, and the situation in the north was finally initially unified!

In the following month, Wu Qi bought an edict to appease the newly descended people of the Khitan and Xi tribes in various places, built the Qianyuan Palace, gave Lou Murdan the book of iron coupons, and presented the seal of the Great Liao Dynasty, and Zonggan convened the original Liao Confucian students, discussed the ritual system, the name of the official, set the color of the uniform, built the school, set up an election, and competed with the Han Department for the hearts and minds of the people.

When the news reached Dengzhou, Yang Yingqi was shocked, but also knew that things were bound to be like this, and after explaining the affairs of Dengzhou Laizhou, he took advantage of the south wind to return to Jinmen on the second day.

"Seven Generals!" Yang Pu saw Yang Yingqi and put down half of his heart: "It's finally here!" ”

It's finally here? Does it mean that Yang Yingqi is finally back, or is the pressure from Huining finally coming?

After such a long time, everyone still hasn't been able to come up with a solution to both worlds, and the comparison of military forces between Jin and Han is difficult to undergo subversive changes in just one year.

As a last resort, the Han Department could only invade the Song Dynasty from Jin. Thinking of this, Yang Yingqi couldn't help but sigh secretly, after this battle, the rise and fall of the Zhao family is not a pity, but the Central Plains does not know how many families will be ruined, how many Li Shu will be robbed, and how many beautiful people like Zhao Mingcheng and his wife will fly apart! Can these Yang Yingqi be indifferent? Thinking of Zhao Mingcheng and his wife, Yang Yingqi's heart softened a little. Compared with the population destruction in the concept, the prosperous Great Song civilization is a dream that he can hardly give up!

"Well, why can't we be stronger? Strong enough to suppress the Jurchens! Strong enough to unify the Northland! Strong enough to completely dominate this war! ”

There are too many things you want, and your strength is not enough to realize your desires, the only way out is to give up!

Yang Yingqi suddenly felt that he was really not a qualified politician, and if he could completely treat this war as a game, the life and death of human life as the gain or loss of chess pieces, and the fire that destroyed civilization as the most gorgeous picture scroll in the world, then things might be much simpler and smoother.

"No matter what, things on both sides must be prepared together!" Yang Yingqi thought: "In the north, we must try to make the Jurchens have no excuse to attack us, and at the same time deploy troops in case Wu Qimai takes the opportunity to copy our back door!" "If this is the case, then the Han Ministry will not be able to send most of the troops, but the part of the troops sent out must be the elite of the Han Department.

"There's no way, I can only let the sixth brother go." This is the result that everyone thought of from the beginning. "And ...... to the South"

This trip to the Shandong Peninsula made Yang Yingqi see the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty again: "Dengzhou and Laizhou are at your fingertips, but if you want to go eastward, I am afraid that you will encounter a lot of resistance." ”

In order to guard against the Jurchens, southern Liaoning actually couldn't transfer many troops into Shandong. If you rely on those militias on the Shandong Peninsula alone, let alone go straight to Kaifeng, there will be problems even in conquering Shandong.

Most of the officials in the Great Song Dynasty ate rice, but there were still a small number of guys who could scare people to death, such as Uncle Zhang in Qingzhou, which was blocked between Dengzhou and Kaifeng. Back then, Song Jiang was rampant in ten counties, and the officials and soldiers did not dare to take advantage of it, but they were still forced by this old guy who only had a group of weak soldiers under his command and could not gain a foothold on the mainland! Fortunately, there is the system of the Great Song Dynasty to bind these wizards, and Zhang Shuye's subordinates may not have many available soldiers and horses at the moment, but with him in charge, Qingzhou is not a place to be despised with!

"Still no chance of winning! Relying on the words of the sixth brother alone, he can't compete with Zong Han and Zong Wang for results! But sending too many forces will cause a vacuum in southern Liaoning! Yang Yingqi pondered, if Ouyang Shi's sailor came to pass through Shandong, things might not go very smoothly. And after offending the Great Song Scholars, it will be difficult for the Han Department to rule the Central Plains again. "It could have been much better if we had waited a few more years."

And what is even more troublesome is the situation within the Han Department. After hearing that Yelu Yanxi was caught, Cao Guangbi had already gone to live on a sea boat. Although he hadn't left yet, he was already expressing his attitude to Zhi Yanchong and Yang Yingqi: once the Hanbu elite rode south, he would immediately set sail for the Song Dynasty.

If Cao Guangbi goes south, Yang Yingqi doesn't know what the situation will become. Maybe Da Song will not pay attention to the second brother at all, and even treat the second brother as a spy. But if there is a possibility that it is too small to be smaller: the princes of Bianliang actually adopted Cao Guangbi's suggestion - what kind of suggestion would the second brother make?

Yang Yingqi covered his mouth, "If the second brother suggests that the Bianliang Imperial Court instigate the Han Department and Huining to kill each other......"

"Seven Generals!"

Yang Yingqi, who was shivering, came back to his senses and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Someone from Datong Mansion is here."

Yang Yingqi felt a pang in his heart: Zong Han sent someone? What are you here for? asked: "Is it Wanyan Xiyin?" ”

"No, it's Han Fang."

"Han Fang!" Yang Yingqi was slightly surprised, it seems that Han Fang is mixing well with Zong Han! "What is he doing here?"

"I don't know. But he has already entered the General's Mansion. The general asked you to come over in an hour. ”

An hour later? Why an hour later?

Yang Yingqi didn't ask, this question can't be answered.

An hour later, when Yang Yingqi came to the General's Mansion, Han Fang happened to come out. He was stunned when he saw Yang Yingqi coming, and after saluting in front of people, he left without saying anything.

Yang Yingqi entered the mansion, and saw Xiao Tienu standing next to Zhi Yanchong, and suddenly felt a trace of unhappiness in his heart, and when he looked at Xiao Tienu, he saw that although his face was calm, there was still a bit of pride in his eyes.

"Big brother." Yang Yingqi asked, "What is Han Fang doing here?" ”

Zhi Yanchong didn't seem to notice the slight change in Yang Yingqi's eyes when he saw Xiao Tienu, and replied, "It's about the Song Dynasty." ”

"Vasong?" Yang Yingqi was a little surprised when he heard this: "Although Yelu Yanxi has been caught now, Zong Wang and Zong Han have also returned to their hearts, and the rear of the Wanyan Department is stable." But their Jurchens like to do it in winter, and it's not yet April. Whether it's to deal with us, or if you really want to fight Song, you shouldn't choose this time. ”

Xiao Tienu smiled beside him: "Old Seven, are you really confused or fake?" Of course, the war is not fought now, but this time it is not a surprise attack, and all sides have to talk about the price before the war. After a few rounds of price negotiations, winter is here. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "What price did Zong Han offer?" ”

Xiao Tienu said: "He asked Han Fang to say: If we can really fight the Song Dynasty, then he can guarantee that Huining will not do anything to southern Liaoning during the Song Dynasty." Also, if the Jurchens occupied Lianghe and Shaanxi, then Shandong could be assigned to the Han Dynasty. If the whole Song Dynasty is destroyed, he will ......" Speaking of this, Xiao Tienu paused, and said a little mysteriously: "Old Seven, what price do you think Zong Han will give us?" ”

Yang Yingqi shook his head and said, "I can't guess." ”

Xiao Tienu laughed and said: "He said that if we get the whole territory of the Great Song Dynasty, he will suggest that the lord of the country carve out the whole of Jiangnan for us, and exchange Jiangnan for Liaonan." ”

"What!" Yang Yingqi's mouth opened wide when he heard this: "Exchange Jiangnan for Liaonan?" ”

Although Jiangnan and Liaoning have the word "south" when they are called, they are one big and one small, one heavy and one light, and the gap is so big that it can't be compared at all! Even if it's just a temptation, it's too much to refuse!

"Old Seven," Xiao Tienu said, "what do you think?" ”

Yang Yingqi didn't answer, but asked Zhi Yanchong: "Big brother, what do you think?" ”
