In just a few words, Zheng Fei finally discovered the biggest difference between Li Gang and Zhang Shuye, Zong Ze and others.

The same love for the people is like a son, but what Li Gang is really loyal to is not the Zhao Dynasty, nor the Great Song Empire, but the system of ruling the world that he is loyal to, and it can also be said that he is loyal to a belief.

During the more than 100 years of the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Truce, the Zhao Emperor's imperial power implemented the national policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force, that is, under this national policy, although the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty has been decreasing, but the development of the whole society has ushered in the most golden period from ancient times to the present. It has become the most fundamental reason why Li Gang insisted on being loyal to this system and implementing this system in the Great Song Dynasty.

This kind of loyalty is also the most difficult to change, especially to recruit him is to advocate force, determined to revive the fierce wind that has been sleeping in the blood of the Han nation for hundreds of years, and to lead the Han nation to reproduce the style of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the two completely different beliefs inevitably collided together.

Li Gang saw through the essence of Zheng Fei at a glance, he knew very well that Zheng Fei's ambition was not only to destroy the Great Song Dynasty, but once Zheng Fei really did it, the Han nation that rekindled the martial arts under the leadership of Zheng Fei would inevitably follow the old path of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and conquer the world!

Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in history fulfilled his wish, attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and lifted the threat from foreign tribes in the Central Plains, his reckless military and continuous conquests also depleted the treasury that Emperor Wenjing had worked hard to accumulate, the country was exhausted, and the people were burdened heavily, and the Han Dynasty began to decline from then on, and its national strength gradually declined.

And this is what Li Gang is most worried about, even if the Zhao dynasty is mediocre, as long as they can continue to adhere to the national policy set by their ancestors, and then improve it slightly, the people still have hope of living a good life, but if the Han nation really follows Zheng Fei on the road of martial arts, the lessons of history tell Li Gang that the Han nation may be able to be prosperous for a while, but the hidden dangers are great, and the people's lives will no longer be as comfortable as in the Great Song Dynasty, and if Zheng Fei fails, the Han nation may usher in a new round of tragic fate, and even repeated the tragic situation of Wuhua chaos.

Zheng Fei didn't expect Li Gang's starting point to be these, it turned out that the reason that hindered Li Gang from surrendering himself was not because he didn't love the people, nor because he couldn't see the current situation clearly, but because he saw it too "clearly", which made Zheng Fei surprised and couldn't help but have a kind of admiration, Zhu Wu once gave himself an example of what is a small evil and a great good, and what is a small good and a big evil, what Li Gang is pursuing now is not a kind of small evil and great good? Ignoring the suffering of the people today is a small evil, but in order to avoid a future in which the Han nation can avoid a reckless military future, it is also for the sake of great good, and it is really well-intentioned.

Thinking of this, Zheng Fei couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, but unfortunately, what Li Gang envisioned was still a bit idealistic, he was not an immortal, he couldn't see through the future, he didn't know that even if he didn't appear, the Northern Song Dynasty would not be able to escape the fate of being destroyed, and hundreds of people in the north would also fall into the abyss of pain being ravaged by foreigners.

Zheng Fei has always believed that there is nothing wrong with "heavy text", but the "suppression of force" caused by excessive "heavy text" is not desirable, and even disastrous, after all, no matter how good the system and culture, it also needs enough force to protect it, so the best national policy should be to pay equal attention to civil and military affairs, and master the balance, so as to achieve the country's long-term peace and stability and national prosperity. Zheng Fei's pursuit of martial arts is from this point, the Han nation has been comfortable in the Song Dynasty for a long time, it is time to re-inject a trace of martial arts into the Han nation! It's just that what he did was regarded by Li Gang, who was accustomed to the days of heavy literature and suppression of martial arts in the Great Song Dynasty, and he was really wronged.

However, Li Gang's point of view also reminded Zheng Fei to a certain extent, that is, if Zheng Fei wants to achieve the goal in his heart, reproduce the territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and avoid following the old path of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he must have a strong national strength to support it, otherwise he will not only be quick but not reach, but may also fall into Li Gang's prediction, not only will he not be able to save the Han nation, but he will help him.

Zheng Fei secretly made up his mind that the primary goal from now on is to temporarily stop fighting, make every effort to develop national strength, and accumulate strength for the future!

As for now, Zheng Fei decided to give up recruiting Li Gang for the time being, because he really had no way to continue to recruit him, and even he regarded it as the only magic weapon to recruit loyal ministers and Qing officials---- let them go to the civil society under their rule to take a look and see who the people under their rule could live a better and more dignified way.

Zheng Fei thought about it, so he ordered Li Sangen to separate some people from his own guard regiment to be responsible for protecting Li Gang, where he goes, let them also take Li Gang there, not to mention the absolute hospitality to Li Gang, Li Gang's existence must be immediately raised to the level of absolute secrecy of the Heavenly Dao Army, Zheng Fei's purpose in doing this is very simple, first, to take Li Gang with him to rest assured, second, Zheng Fei has already said that he will prove it to Li Gang, and the way to prove it is to let him see a man who attaches equal importance to civil and military affairs, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Can a country that is rich and powerful, and still strong in military power, really exist?

He will work hard for this and let Li Gang see the whole process of his success.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The person named Zheng Linfeng has been gone for a long time, but somehow, Li Gang's heart has never been quiet, and his mind has been constantly replaying the look that Zheng Linfeng looked at him before leaving,

What kind of look is that?

Full of confidence and determination! It's as if there's nothing in the world that he can't do!

Li Gang couldn't help but sigh deeply, how much he wished that the same gaze could appear in Zhao Huan's eyes.......

At the same time, Li Gang also had to admit that this meeting with Zheng Linfeng brought him great surprise, he didn't expect the legendary Zheng Linfeng to be like this, the world said that Zheng Linfeng was born to kill pigs, a robber and bandit, but Li Gang felt that Zheng Linfeng was more like a monarch than Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, and that Zheng Linfeng was really a strange person, opening his eyes and talking nonsense but speaking justly, what kind of virtue could he be, how could he let him get himself so much.

It's just that what makes him wonder is what Zheng Linfeng means by saying something like that he wants to prove it to himself?

Suddenly, Li Gang's heart suddenly felt bad, he thought of a possibility, if Zheng Linfeng really did what he said, really developed his strength and then did it to Da Song, wouldn't Da Song have no chance?

Li Gang sighed and sat back in his seat, shaking his head regretfully, but if someone could hold a mirror in front of him at this time and let him see his true expression and gaze, Li Gang would definitely be shocked.

Hidden under the remorse, it is clearly a pair of expectant eyes .......

Seven days later, the Great Song Dynasty completed the evacuation in the agreed states on the East Hebei Road.

And in these seven days, the front-line Heavenly Dao Army has also completed its deployment,

Among them, 100,000 troops still stayed on Jingxi Road to guard against the Song army, and the grain and grass needed were supplied by Jingxi Road and Jingdong East Road.

The 300,000-strong army officially returned to the south, and each returned to his original station.

Zheng Fei did not return south, he personally led the Independent Army, the Seventh Army and the Thirteenth Guards of the Fan Battalion to cross the border into the East Hebei Road, officially received Dezhou, Dizhou, Binzhou and Cangzhou, and then went directly to the northernmost part of Cangzhou, stationed troops on the border with Liao, and cast his eyes on the land of Liao.

At this time, the Great Liao was in the midst of a bitter battle with Jin.

A few months ago, in accordance with the agreement with the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Aguta took advantage of the opportunity of more than 300,000 troops in Daliao to leave the country, and he appointed Kulubo Jilie Wanyan Gao as the commander of all the internal and external armies, Wanyan Yu, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongxin, and Wanyan Zongpan as the deputy capital, suddenly tore up the peace treaty with Liao, and sent 300,000 people across the border to attack Liao again.

The biggest difference between this attack and the previous ones was that Wan Yan Gao appointed Yelu Yujian, the general of the Liao State, as the vanguard and charged at the front of the Jin army.

Yelu Yu saw that he was originally a general of the Liao State, and he naturally knew the Liao State well, and the garrisons and generals in many places on the front line were his old subordinates, old comrades-in-arms, and old friends.

Under the guidance of Yelu Yujian, the Jin army drove straight into the line without any resistance, and each attack could hit the seven inches of the Liao army, and the Liao army either retreated or surrendered, and the entire front was defeated.

What's even worse is that Wan Yan Gao adopted Yelu Yujian's suggestion, and under the guidance of Yelu Yujian, Wan Yan Gao led the army to travel a hundred miles day and night, and went straight to the Liao capital city to go to Beijing.

The emperor of Liao suddenly heard that the Jin soldiers were about to arrive, and fled out of Shangjing in a hurry overnight to go to Zhongjing, he only took away the clan, and the army, officials and people in the city did not know at all, not long after, the Jin army arrived and surrounded Shangjing, Wan Yan Gao personally supervised the battle, and commanded the army to storm Shangjing,

Liao Shangjing stayed behind Yelu Tart and hurriedly entered the palace to find the emperor, only to find that the emperor and the clan had run away at some point, Yelu Tart was also shocked, and the news leaked out, and soon, the whole city knew that the emperor had abandoned them and ran away first,

Yelu Tart also returned to the city tower, only to see that the Jin army outside was attacking fiercely, and then saw that his soldiers had no morale because the emperor had fled, and there was no chance of winning this battle, so he had to lead the crowd out of the city to surrender.

In this way, known as the iron wall and at least 50,000 Beijing elite soldiers in the city guarded the capital city only took less than half a day to fall into the hands of the Jin army, the news came out, the whole country of Daliao was shocked, people everywhere were panicked, morale was completely lost, the attack of the Jin army was even more overwhelming, every battle must be won, less than a month to capture a huge Shangjing Road, to this time, the dignified Liao has nearly two-thirds of the land has fallen into the hands of the Jin State.

Today's Great Liao, only the Zhongjing Road and Xijing Road, which are still under the control of the Liao Emperor, and the Nanjing Road controlled by Ye Luchun are still there.

However, the fall of Shangjing unexpectedly brought benefits to one person, and this person was none other than Yeluchun.
