The news that Guangnan East Road and Jinghu Road were suddenly attacked by the Tiandao Army and that Zhao Kai had been proclaimed emperor in Jiangning Mansion soon spread to Tokyo, causing a shock to the Song court and the opposition, and also stunned Zhao Huan and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, because Tang Ke had just returned to Tokyo a few days ago, according to what he said, Zheng Linfeng must have been tricked, believed his words, and was dreaming of taking Zhao Kai for the three southern roads. The Great Song Dynasty now only needs to wait patiently for the armies of the two Liaoxia countries to arrive, and then the three kingdoms can join forces to launch a full-scale attack on the Heavenly Dao Army! Zhao Huan rewarded Tang Ke heavily for this "dragon face and great joy".

But from now on, Tang Ke is obviously the one who is on the side of the scheme, then Zheng Linfeng didn't believe his words at all, not only did he not believe it, but he also set up Zhao Kai as the emperor, and made it clear that he would officially use Zhao Kai to "coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes", and more importantly, they actually knew everything about the Song court and the palace, and even knew that Zhao Huan had placed the old emperor under house arrest and ceded land in exchange for Liaoxia reinforcements, and made a big fuss about these two things, announced Zhao Huan's ten major crimes, and officially declared war on Song!

These things are top secrets, and it is very difficult for people in Tokyo to know, how could Zheng Linfeng, who is thousands of miles away, know? Zhao Huan's first reaction was that there was a traitor in the court, but he did not suspect others, but directly locked the target of his suspicion on Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng and others who had been imprisoned.

Zhao Huan also doubted whether the old emperor, who had been placed under house arrest in the palace, also played a role in it, although the old emperor had been completely placed under house arrest by himself, and the eunuchs, palace maids, and guards around him had been replaced by his own people, and he was watching him while serving him, but after all, the old emperor had been an emperor for decades, and he didn't know how much power he had in the dark, and he was in the prime of life, and he definitely didn't want to be under house arrest or be an emperor forever, so he would definitely find a way to escape his imprisonment, And spreading that he is under house arrest is a good way to use public opinion and the ministers of the DPRK to force himself to make concessions!

Zhao Huan was enraged, did he really want to cede the land and betray the country? Of course not! He is not a fool, and the Zheng Ju people around him are not fools, how could he not know that even if he finally relied on the two countries of Liaoxia to exterminate the thieves, would the loss of the thirteen states of Hebei, Qinfeng, and the twelve states of Yongan mean something to the Great Song Dynasty?

Of course he does! But he had to do this, the rebel army was completely annihilated, and the main force of the Great Song Dynasty was lost by more than half, and it was already at an absolute disadvantage in the confrontation with Zheng Linfeng, and it was only a matter of time before Zheng Linfeng was destroyed.

He also wanted to start working hard from now on, but time was obviously running out, and the best way now was to use the ready-made forces from the outside to fight Zheng Linfeng.

And now the only ones who have the strength to help themselves are the three kingdoms of Liao, Xia and Jin. Among them, the most ideal is the Jin State, which is strong and has no grievances with the Song State, has no enmity and has a secret agreement to jointly destroy Liao, but unfortunately, the Jin State is not bordering on itself at present, and can only rely on Liao and Xia, but these two countries will not send troops to help themselves in vain, and can only pay a considerable price!

Zhao Huan didn't want to be a sinner for the ages, so he actually had a big backhand, and that was ...... He had actually secretly contacted Jin Guo before contacting Liao and Xia!

He had agreed with Jin that when he successfully transferred hundreds of thousands of troops from Liao and relied on Liaoxia reinforcements to eliminate Zheng Linfeng, Jin would take advantage of Liao's empty forces to launch an attack on Liao, and he pretended to know nothing and let the Liao army come back to help, but at that time the Liao army should be far away in the south, thousands of miles away from Liaodi, how easy is it to return to help? I'm afraid that before they can rush back to Liao, the Liao State has been destroyed by the Jin State. And the reason why he let them leave is also for another purpose, that is, to separate the reinforcements of Liao and Xia, and as soon as the Liao army leaves, he will launch an attack on the Xia army! Thinking that in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, the Xia army has no food and no aid, and it is not easy to eat them? And the Liao army marched all the way, and it was bound to be tired and tired, and it would be easy to eat them if they secretly set up an ambush! At that time, he will openly join forces with the Jin State, Jin will mainly attack the Liao State, and he will mainly attack the Xia State, drive the Xia State back to the Gobi, and join forces with the Jin State to destroy the Liao, replace the Liao State by Jin, and recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun himself.

And this is Zhao Huan's real plan!

Zhao Huan is convinced that this plan will be successful as long as it is successfully implemented, he is full of confidence in this, he endures humiliation and revenge, and takes risks, all in order to save the Great Song Dynasty! And for the sake of stability, he didn't want to kill, of course, at least not yet, but these people actually ignored the current dangerous situation and made these small moves at this time, don't they know that although the consequences of doing so may oust themselves, they will also put the Great Song Dynasty in a place of no return? Oh no, they must know, but they still did it, they just saw this most critical moment to give themselves a fatal blow, they let it out, just as they had to save the Great Song by cutting the land and asking for help! This group of hateful moths is their crazy sucking of the flesh and blood of the Great Song Dynasty, turning the Great Song into what it is now, and now they are still unrepentant, and they want to destroy themselves, the only hope of the Great Song Dynasty now! Is it tolerable or unbearable!

Zhao Huan immediately summoned the ministers loyal to him to discuss countermeasures, and soon made several decisions,

The first is to completely remove all the eunuchs, palace maids, and guards in the palace, and even the imperial doctors, cooks, cooks, etc., all of them must be replaced with absolutely trustworthy people, completely cutting off all contact between the old emperor and the outside world.

The second is to reinstate the old emperor to the court, of course, under strict control, in order to smash the rumors that the old emperor has lost his personal freedom, and to announce that Zhao Kai is the real traitorous thief through the mouth of the old emperor, and call on loyal people all over the world to defend the country and fight against thieves.

Third, through the mouth of the old emperor, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Hao and others should be announced guilty, and all of them should be executed or exiled, completely destroying the hope of their comrades. Among these people, especially Tong Guan, it is absolutely impossible to stay, Tong Guan's influence on the Northwest Army is so deep that the Great Song Dynasty is now unmatched, and what Zhao Huan is now relying on is the Northwest Army, in order to better control the Northwest Army, Tong Guan must die!

Fourth, immediately and secretly contact Liao and Xia, so that they can send troops as soon as possible, and at the same time, they must strictly abide by the agreement, and must not claim the benefits obtained from the Song State, only saying that the two countries are not only in accordance with the alliance, but also out of protection of Chinese orthodoxy, so that they send troops to help. As for the agreed land, once the thieves have been exterminated, their own side will naturally cede to them in another way according to the agreement.

Fifth, since Zheng Linfeng already knew about the Liao and Xia reinforcements, there was no need to continue to keep this matter secret, and from now on, all preparations should be started with great fanfare, and as soon as the Liao and Xia reinforcements arrived, they would launch a general attack on Zheng Linfeng from north to south!

Sixth, he secretly contacted the Jin State, asking them to keep their promises, resist the temptation, and wait until the 300,000 Liao troops were completely away from the Liao before launching an attack on the Liao State.

As for the southern Zhulu that is being attacked, Zhao Huan and others have no way, because the southern Zhulu is geographically far away from foreign enemies such as Liao and Xia, and the back is a wide sea, there is almost no threat of encountering foreign enemies, so since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, most of the military forces have been concentrated in the north, and the army left in the southern Zhulu is mainly local army, and the elite forbidden army is very few, and it is a huge south that occupies half of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. The total number of all the forbidden armies is not even more than half of the three forbidden army groups in the north--- the Hebei Forbidden Army, the Northwest Forbidden Army, and the Jingshi Forbidden Army, which can be seen from the disparity in the strength of the Heavenly Dao Army.

And Zhao Huan has concentrated the Northwest Forbidden Army and the remaining Hebei Forbidden Army, plus the Beijing Forbidden Army in Zhulu near Jingshi, the purpose is to protect Jingshi and prepare for the upcoming counteroffensive against Zheng Linfeng, even if the southern Zhulu is being attacked, he does not dare to transfer these troops to the south, in case the Beijing Division is attacked by the Tiandao Army after dividing the troops in many places and affecting the next big counteroffensive,

Therefore, Zhao Huan has made a long time ago to temporarily abandon the southern roads, he has secretly transferred all the wealth of the southern roads to the north in the past two months, and now the southern roads are actually only an empty bag, even if in the future, with the exposure of the great counteroffensive caused Zheng Linfeng to be angry, and then let him capture the southern roads, all he got was a useless land with no money and no food and a big burden of tens of millions of people, and all he had to do was to defend the northern roads. As long as the northern roads are not lost, and the million-strong armies of the Song, Liao, and Xia kingdoms successfully defeat Zheng Linfeng, it will be certain to regain the southern roads.

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

In fact, Zhao Huan did not guess wrong, it was really the old emperor Zhao Ji who passed out of the palace about his house arrest, it turned out that among the eunuchs sent by Zhao Huan to his side, there was a little eunuch Liu Tong who had just entered the palace for two years, and he didn't even have a chance to look at Zhao Ji's face a few times before, it stands to reason that it is very appropriate to send Zhao Ji to spy on Zhao Ji like this, but unfortunately, this Liu Tong committed an incident when he first entered the palace a few years ago, and he should have been heavily punished, but he was met by Zhang Di, the personal eunuch of the old emperor who happened to be passing by and in a good mood, Zhang Di moved his mouth, this little Liu Tong was spared a beating, Zhang Di and others quickly forgot about it, but this Liu Tong kept it in mind, this time he was selected to spy on Zhao Ji, in order to repay his kindness, he took the risk to help the old emperor pass a few words to Zhang Di, who had been put in prison, under Zhang Di's repeated pleas, Liu Tong spread the things in the palace, which was known to Zhang Shuye several times.

Next, everything was going smoothly according to Zhao Huan's decision, Zhao Ji saw that the people in the palace had changed again, and Zhao Huan was still full of unhappiness and asked himself if he had done anything that he shouldn't do?

Zhao Ji was frightened, and thought that his own affairs happened, in order to please his son, he easily chose to obey, and then, several holy decrees were issued in the name of the old emperor, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Huang and other six people were designated as the six thieves of the country, all of them raided the house, Cai Jing and Cai You and other absolute close ministers of the old emperor were exiled to the wilderness in the extreme west of Chengdu Prefecture, Tong Guan, Wang Huang, Liang Shicheng and other major ministers of the Yun Wang Party were beheaded on the spot!
