The only absolute thing in the world is that there is no absolute thing, there is a gray area between black and white, and this gray area often exists in places that people can't see, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, there are intricate relationships and that disgusting and inseparable gray area.

The news of Zhao Zhen's injury was discovered by the secret agents of the Liao Dynasty through the means of money, and it cannot be said that the intelligence protection of the Great Song Dynasty did not achieve an iron bucket, but after Zhang Jian paid a huge price, it was pried into its strong corner, and the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and there were still remnants of the Liao Dynasty's secret agents in the Xijin Mansion, but Zhao Zhen could not close the entire Xijin Mansion.

How big is the land of one place?

There are more than 20 villages, towns, and counties around Xijin Mansion that can be named, and the people always have to communicate with each other, right? The supplies from the Great Song Dynasty are going to enter the city, right? The goods of the Great Song merchants are going to be sold, right? Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to do a drop of water, not to mention that Zhao Zhen does not want to engage in things like the White Terror, he wants to let the people of Yanyun see that their lives will only get better and better after returning to the Great Song Dynasty.

Since this is the case, it is not surprising that the news leaked out, as long as they are willing to work hard, the Liao people have a way to obtain information after all, of course, Zhang Jian paid a lot of price, but when he saw the information, he was overjoyed, please report that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was shot by an arrow and had not appeared in Xijin Mansion for a few days!

When Zhang Jian found Xiao Hui and told him the information, the first thought in the minds of the two of them was that the poisoned arrow in the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was Yelu Tufted Arrow, and after the arrow, the news was closed so that the inside and outside were forbidden and could not communicate with each other, and the secret agents of the Great Liao naturally could not see the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty appear in the Xijin Mansion......

Xiao Hui excitedly walked back and forth in Nanya: "So the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was hit by a poisoned arrow?" Otherwise, once the arrow is hit, it will definitely show up in Xijin Mansion to calm the hearts of the people! ”

Zhang Jian nodded slightly, although he still maintained a calm appearance, but the excitement in his eyes could be seen even by the waiter: "Well, what Boren said is extremely true, but I can't get carried away, the news of the secret agent is that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was hit by an arrow, but I don't know the specific location, and I don't know if it's a poisonous arrow......

Xiao Hui laughed, sat down next to Zhang Jian and personally picked up the teapot for his teacup and said: "It must be a poisonous arrow, even if he is stupid, he should know how to use poisonous arrows, and it must be a poisonous arrow that seals his throat with blood!" ”

Zhang Jian took a sip of tea and sighed: "I'm so afraid that my Da Liao is going to be charged with a big crime......

Xiao Hui took a sip and said, "Crime? What crime? It's true that the assassin is my Khitan, but can Da Song get evidence? What's more, it was he Zhao Zhen who reneged on the alliance and renounced the contract, and marched north under the pretense of military exercises, if you want to say that the crime should also be borne by the Great Song Dynasty, since the Great Song Dynasty came first and did not get tired of deceit, then my Da Liao can come out of Jing Ke to assassinate Qin! ”

"Jing Ke stabbed Qin? Good! What a Jing Ke thorn Qin! The soldier is also treacherous, therefore, he can show that he can't, he can't use it, he doesn't use it, he shows it far away, and he shows it near when it's far away. Profit and temptation, chaos and take, real and prepared, strong and avoid, angry and scratch, humble and arrogant, hard work, kiss and leave. Attack it unprepared, surprise ......"

Xiao Hui looked at Zhang Jian, who was shaking his head and reciting the art of war, and knew that he was in a good mood, but he frowned slightly and whispered: "How should I return to Your Majesty about this matter?!" ”

Zhang Jian's face froze, and the tone of his recitation gradually disappeared, and he sighed and said: "Your Majesty has always hoped to have a dignified battle with the Great Song Dynasty, to show that he is actually far superior to the Great Song Emperor Zhao Zhen, if you know that my Great Liao assassin assassinated the Great Song Emperor, I will definitely be furious." Huh! Your Majesty is good at everything, but it's too serious. ”

Xiao Hui snorted: "Becoming a king or defeating a king, what a matter of means!" Is it important for Your Majesty to have a knot in your heart or to survive the scourge of destroying the country? Now I don't have many soldiers to fight in Daliao, and I don't have any salaries, food and grass, so this battle is extraordinary and can only be won and not defeated! ”

Zhang Jian nodded, took the tea in the cup and drank it all and said, "Okay, the old man will go to play Your Majesty!" When he walked to the door, Xiao Hui stood up and saluted and shouted, "Brother Zhongbao! Time is running out! ”

Zhang Jian nodded slightly, and took a big step without looking back, Xiao Hui is right, time is not waiting, now it seems that the vast territory and strong national strength of Daliao has actually become strong in the outside, this year's winter is extremely cold, has made the northwest grassland of Daliao into a snow country, cattle, sheep and horses died in herds.

And many domestic commodities have been held in the hands of the Song people, at the beginning of the merchants of the Great Liao can still compete with the Song people, but with the high quality and low price of the Song people's goods gradually monopolized the economy of the Great Liao in their hands, and then the price was raised sharply, and the money lost before was earned, and by the way, the handicraft industry of the Great Liao was incomplete.

These are all truths that Zhang Jian discovered later, and he also felt that Shang Jia was just a small way before...... But now it seems that the role of merchants is no less than that of the army, and the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty swept the wealth of Shangjing almost overnight.

Now the top priority of the Great Liao is how to take back the Nanjing Road from the hands of the Song people, in fact, it is not difficult, as long as it can conquer the Xijin Mansion and defeat the Chinese army of the Great Song Dynasty, the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty will definitely not be attacked, when Song Taizong evacuated in a donkey cart in a panic, and now the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty does not know the life and death of the arrow, is it not God to bless the Great Liao?

As long as Da Liao can take back Nanjing Dao and drive the Song people back, no matter what Da Song takes, he will spit it out!

Now the most lacking thing in Da Liao is time, the Western Xia War exhausted Da Liao's financial resources, if it weren't for the damn Song merchants, how could the warriors of Da Liao be so slowly assembled? The Great Song Dynasty did not give Da Liao a chance to breathe and recover his financial resources, and the war was fought about money in the final analysis!

If the Great Liao repels the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty and retrieves the lost money, he only needs to recuperate for a few years before he can wave his troops south, and when the Great Song Emperor dies, the lord and young ministers are suspicious, and they don't know what will happen, it must be an excellent time for the Great Liao to go south!

But all the premise is that Da Liao can repel the attack of the Song people, this is a big gamble, His Majesty has gathered an army in Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, as long as the time is ripe, you can go south to Nanjing Road, now the Great Song Emperor is in the arrow, life and death do not know, this is not the best time for Da Liao?

Zhang Jian decided that he would persuade the emperor to send troops no matter what, and judging from the intelligence, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was afraid that he had already died, and he should only be outside the army, Xia Zhu and others would not mourn secretly, and everyone knew that stabilizing the morale of the army was the most important thing at this time.

The corners of Zhang Jian's mouth sneered, the emperor's news could only be blocked for a while, when the army of the Great Liao was killed in Xijin Mansion, look at how Xia Zhu and the others still concealed the affairs of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! The sudden disappearance of the emperor who drove the expedition in person must have caused the Song army to panic.

If he, Xia Zhu, Di Qing and the others were really smart, they should withdraw their troops at this time, which is better than burying 100,000 troops in Xijin Mansion.
