Since ancient times, the Han court has attached great importance to the status of monarchs and ministers, as the so-called name is right, and as long as the other party is willing to respect him as a monarch, everything is easy to say, even if it will make other countries get a lot of cheapness. Now the attitude of the Great Song Dynasty when it came to the alliance with the Jin people was the same, as long as the Jurchens could submit to the imperial court, then everything else was no longer a problem.

Tong Guan was ordered to go to sea to secretly form an alliance with the Jin people, and he received this bottom line from Zhao Ji's side, and at this time, after saying it in front of Wu Qimai, he was a little nervous, for fear that the other party would refuse. So as soon as the words came out, he stared at the two.

Wu Qimai and his nephew were only stunned for a moment, and then they smiled after glancing at each other: "The Song Kingdom is going to be stronger than my Dajin, if this time it can really help us get rid of the great enemy Liao State, it will be even more virtuous for us to recreate, and it is not too difficult for us to respect Song as the master." ”

"Okay, happy!" Tong Guan was overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately clapped his hands and said, "Then hurry up and make a covenant." From then on, I, the Song and Jin countries will work together to destroy Liao! ”

Looking at his excited appearance, Sun Tu sighed secretly beside him. He really couldn't understand what benefit such a false title of lord and minister had for the Great Song Dynasty. Not to mention that it is impossible for the Jin people to take it seriously, even if they really regard the Great Song Dynasty as the suzerain, what benefits can they bring to the Great Song Dynasty? At this time, he couldn't help but think of something from his shallow historical knowledge, as if how many years later, when the Jin State destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty and oppressed the Southern Song Dynasty, he let the Song State treat him with courtesy.

As soon as he heard that he was about to make an alliance, Wu Qimai opened his mouth again: "Wait." Tong Shumi, the details of how you and I destroyed Liao have not yet been finished, how can we conclude an alliance so quickly. There are five capitals in Liao, Shangjing Linhuang Mansion, Zhongjing Dading Mansion, Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion, Nanjing Xijin Mansion, which is what you call Youzhou City, and Xijing Datong Mansion, which is what you call Yunzhou City. Since your Great Song Dynasty wants to recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, then among the five capitals, you must capture Nanjing and Xijing, right? As for the other three capitals, they can be attacked by my Dajin warriors, I don't know what Tong Shumi thinks? ”

Tong Guan really didn't expect the other party to have such confidence, and completely dismembered the Liao State with one mouth, and his tone was really not small. You must know that in fact, in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, even if they join forces with the Jin State this time, it is almost impossible to succeed in destroying Liao, after all, the Liao State is too strong, and the country has been established for a longer time than the Great Song Dynasty, and the foundation is solid, how can it be destroyed in one or two battles.

This time, the intention of the Great Song was only to let the Jin State contain most of the Liao State's forces from the north, and then he suddenly sent troops to seize the Land of Hidden Clouds. But since the other party said so, he would not object, and after a little silence, he said: "Of course, the two capitals in the south and west of the Liao Kingdom will be taken by my Great Song!" ”

"It couldn't be better. By the way, I don't know when the Great Song Dynasty plans to send troops? ”

"This ......" Tong Guan hesitated a little again, and only said after a while: "The way of war is impermanent, and it is difficult to set a specific time now." You should also know that my Great Song Dynasty is different from you and other small countries, and it takes more than half a year to mobilize and prepare for the invasion of the country. In addition, there are still many constraints between the DPRK and China, and it will take some time to make arrangements. Therefore, it is necessary to wait until two or three years later before we can really use troops against Liao. ”

Hearing such an answer, Wu Qimai was fine, but the young man beside him couldn't help but purse his lips, revealing a contemptuous expression. This Song State is really troublesome, isn't it just sending troops to fight, and it has to be dragged on so much, no wonder it has always been suppressed by the Liao State for so long.

Wu Qimai nodded after silence: "Then it's decided." I, Dajin, will continue to consume the national strength of the Liao State in the past few years, and I also ask Da Song to make some compensation for us. ”

"This is easy to say, as long as you are willing to recognize me as the master of the Great Song Dynasty, I will not be stingy with a little money and food." Tong Guan agreed to come down in one bite. By this time, the official who had drafted the covenant had already written a fairly detailed manuscript and quickly sent it to both sides.

Tong Guan took it and swept it, then nodded with satisfaction, and then it was up to the two golden envoys. And Wu begged to buy them, and they didn't let the Song people wait too long, and after reading the contents of the covenant hastily, they nodded in approval.

Originally, their purpose this time was to try to obtain enough benefits on the premise of joining forces with Song, but now that both goals have been achieved, is there anything to oppose? As for recognizing Song as the suzerain, it is a trivial matter at all, if I am weaker than you, it is natural to recognize you as the master, once I am stronger than you, then I will talk about it.

Soon, two formal covenants bearing the seals of the two countries were quickly formed, and the envoys of each side were given one for proof. No one would have thought that this alliance, which was related to Song Jinliao's next fate, would go so smoothly, and it only took half a day to reach a consensus.

After the covenant was completed, Tong Guan finally put his mind at ease, laughed again and asked people to serve the wine and food again, so that he could entertain the two friendly envoys of the Jin Kingdom. The feast was drunk until the evening and finally dispersed, and Wu Qimai's uncle and nephew, who were already drunk and hazy, did not accept Tong Guan's kindness to stay on the Song Guoda ship for the night, but insisted on getting off the boat and rushed back at night.

Although Tong Guan was worried that something would go wrong with these guys at sea, after all, at night, they only had a few small boats that could not withstand the toss, but in the end he let them go. Anyway, the bottom line of the Jin people is known, as long as they are given enough benefits, even if the envoys of this ship die at sea, there will be a second wave of envoys to make an alliance with their own family.

However, out of courtesy, he still politely personally sent Wu Qimai and a few people off the boat, and finally watched the small boat they were riding gradually drift away in the turbulence of the wind and waves, and then exhaled with satisfaction: "The big thing is decided." Next, I will go to the Liao Kingdom again, stabilize them, and in about three years, it will be the day when we will recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun! ”

Thinking of this, he looked at Sun Tu, who was standing behind him, and said with a smile: "Qianli, this thing has been done, and you also have merit." At that time, the old man may transfer you to the north to defend, and you will lead the army to capture Youzhou City and make immortal feats, what are you willing to do? ”

Sun Tu looked solemn at this time, thinking about his heart - the Song-Jin alliance was established, which meant that the conquest between the three kingdoms would soon begin. And as far as he knows, this war will greatly surprise the Song State, the seemingly powerful Liao State will be completely destroyed by the Jin people in a short period of time, and the Song army will also expose its weak nature in this battle, and finally cause a catastrophe!

If you didn't think about it before, now that you think about everything that will happen in the near future, Sun Tu is confused, what choice should he make? In this way, he didn't hear Tong Guan's question, and it wasn't until the latter called out twice that he withdrew from his thoughts: "Tong Shuai......"

"Why are you so preoccupied?" Tong Guan couldn't help but ask a little strangely.

Sun Tu hesitated for a moment, but finally reminded him: "Xia Guan always feels that this is seeking skin with the tiger." It seems to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, but what about the legacy of raising a tiger? If the Jin people were more ferocious and domineering than the Liao people, without the Liao people blocking them in the north, my Great Song Dynasty would be in a dangerous situation. ”

"Hahaha......" This was exchanged for a burst of laughter from Tong Guan: "You are too unfounded, you really take the Jurchens seriously." If they were really so strong, how could they be suppressed by the Liao people for a hundred years? In the old man's opinion, as long as there is a war, the last one who will be greatly injured will only be the Jin country, and they may destroy the country. And what I want in the Great Song Dynasty is such an opportunity to seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun and reopen the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty! Speaking of this, his eyes flashed, and that ambition and ambition could not be concealed.

Sun Tu could only be silent, this should be the general psychology of the main battle faction in the Great Song Dynasty today, and it is naturally impossible for him to change the minds of these people as a small fifth-grade military attaché. But what should he do next?

When Sun Tu was full of doubts and didn't know what the road ahead was, on the fishing boat that broke the waves, the two guys who should have been drunk were already refreshed, and they couldn't see that they were drunk at all. In fact, the Jurchens are located in the cold land of the north, and the men, women, and children in the tribe are all good at drinking, and they drink the strongest wine, compared to the fine wine of the Song Kingdom, it is like water to them, how can they get drunk?

They're just pretending, as they do today. At this time, Wu Qimai looked more calm and shrewd than before, and his nephew was no longer stunned, the two looked at each other and smiled, the latter said: "Second uncle, I just looked carefully, although there are many Song soldiers on the ship, they are all in low spirits, obviously they can't even withstand this little wind and waves at sea, sure enough, just like the legend, the Southern Dynasty has long been weak, once the war starts, as long as 10,000 people, they can kill their capital Kaifeng." ”

"Haha, that's a good point. The Song people are indeed weak, but what is more valuable is that they are also really rich. Hundreds of thousands of stones of grain are nothing at all in their eyes, if we can conquer the Southern Dynasties, the future will be no different from the gods. Wushu, although you can't succeed to the throne of Emperor Dajin, as long as you make a contribution, maybe you can be a little emperor in the south. ”

"Yes, one day, I will personally lead the army into this southern world after completing the Yan Wushu and bring all their belongings and children back to the north!" After finishing the Yan Wushu, this rare general in the history of the Jin Kingdom has been born, but at this time, he is still like a sword in the box, and his edge has not been revealed.

Although his fateful opponent Yue Pengju had not yet appeared in the Song Dynasty, fate had already put a brand new opponent in front of him early on......

On April 11 of the first year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, Jin received the country for five years, and Song and Jin formed an alliance on the sea.

The dispute between Song Liaojin and Song Liaojin was about to begin......
