A military plan of action against the small regime of Wanyan Ginjuk had already been drawn up long before the submission of Goryeo.

By now, this plan has been basically finalized: the Qi army will dispatch 20,000 field soldiers and navy, plus the same number of auxiliaries and all the Goryeo field troops and civilian workers, a total of 80,000 people, to completely eliminate the Wanyan Yinshu Ke entrenched in the Phoenix area.

According to the information provided by the Jurchen escapees, there were about 5,000 Jurchen subordinates at this time, the same number of Han, Bohai, Khitan Dingkou, and an unknown number of Goryeo Dingkou after the occupation of the two provinces of Goryeo.

The Qigao coalition army will have a dual advantage in the number and quality of troops, and will have a great chance of victory.

It's just that when the plan was being formulated, someone in the staff proposed to keep the power of Wanyan Yinshuke, because the enemy of the enemy is a friend.

Wanyan Yinshu is a Jurchen traitor, and he is not in the same position as Liaoyang, and his existence can contain at least a few thousand to ten thousand Jurchen armor soldiers.

Therefore, many people believe that as long as Wanyan Yinshu can be subdued like the king of Goryeo, then it is more beneficial to keep him than to spend troops and materials to destroy him.

This is indeed the case, but on the one hand, although Yinshu has defected from the Jurchens, he has no idea of surrendering, and he has not even sent a messenger.

On the other hand, Xu Shiyang personally did not want Liaodong to have a regime that did not belong to China in the future, even if it was an obedient client state.

Xu Shiyang, who is familiar with the history of another plane, is very wary of the savage regime originating in Liaodong, and he doesn't want to be Li Chengliang raising tigers.

Therefore, the war plan against the small regime was finally finalized.

According to the plan, the war would break out in four months, and it was better for the two armies of Qi and Gao to break out after they were all ready.

……

At this time in the East, the situation between the countries is as follows:

In the Western Regions, the Pars defeated the combined forces of Dangxiang and Gochang in a decisive battle, and in the same month that the king of Goryeo surrendered to Xu Shiyang, Gochang perished.

The Dangxiang Army, the remnants of the Gaochang Army, and the other Buddhist troops of the Western Regions had to retreat to the Uighurs in an attempt to rebuild their defensive line against the Pars, who had also suffered heavy losses in the war, but were temporarily satisfied with the results they had just gained, and did not continue to pursue the victory, and the two sides seemed to have entered a period of relative calm.

The Qi army staff received this news from Uighur merchants who had come to Qi Province with Wang Qinian to trade.

According to the analysis of the General Staff, this proves that Pars is a very powerful country - in the decades-long Gaochang War, the combat effectiveness of the Pars army was actually similar to that of the party, and the two sides basically won and lost each other.

But in each war, even if the party members were victorious, Gaochang could not expand westward, but if it failed once, the defensive line against Pars would be pushed a little eastward until Gaochang could no longer hold on to it and completely collapsed this year.

It is estimated that within a few years, the war will break out in the territory of the Uighur tribes, and the situation will be similar.

This was an advantage in national power, and the Dang had little to do about it, and the remnants of the Khüchang forces and the Uighur tribes were now beginning to look to bring in outside forces to help them fend off the Parsians.

For example, the Tubo and Gaochang Uighurs all believed in Buddhism and had a close relationship with the Tibetans, and the possibility of the Tibetan army supporting them was very high.

Another possible aid was the Mughal Gulhan Zamuhe.

He had just destroyed his greatest rival in the war, and now he had begun to try to unify the Mughal tribes.

According to Wang Qinian, Zamuhe's victory over his rival Modong Mengwu was due to two important factors: first, the Marquis of the Shanxi Han Army provided him with a large number of infantry and auxiliaries, and the other was that he was able to obtain a large amount of salt from Qi Province through Wang Qinian.

Modong Mengwu was driven out by the Jin army, they had long lost their source of salt, and Zamuhe could use Qi Province salt to win over the small tribe of Modong Mengwu, which gave him an absolutely overwhelming advantage in troops before the final battle.

His rival performed very well on the battlefield, and even had the possibility of turning defeat into victory at one point, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and he was ultimately defeated.

Therefore, the victorious Zamuhe once again asked for an alliance with Qi Province, and this time his proposal was that Qi and Mengwu divide half of the Central Plains and half of Liaodong, and the two countries would be reconciled forever.

Xu Shiyang was not interested in the proposed alliance, but he was willing to continue the salt and horse trade, which would be beneficial to both parties.

Xu Shiyang even agreed to expand the current trade volume to 2 or 3,000 horses per year.

But that's all, Xu Shiyang completely does not accept any foreign regime's proposal to obtain the territory of the Central Plains, nor will he accept the existence of any neighboring regime as a relatively equal in the future.

Goryeo is the highest status that all the countries surrounding China can achieve in the future.

If you don't accept it, you will only perish.

The Jurchens had been in dormancy for a while, and they had neither attacked the Muguls nor tried to destroy the traitor of the Yinshuke, and since Gaizhou had been reduced to a wasteland, the Jurchen princes had not even continued to try to restore this important city, but had allowed it to continue to be desolate.

The scorched-earth defense line that stretched for hundreds of miles was a headache for Xu Shiyang and his staff, so the Qi army was slow to launch a new offensive (which is why the Qi army turned to deal with Goryeo and Yinshuke first).

However, the officers of the staff agreed that the Jurchens could not wait too long, and they would definitely choose a target to attack.

Because the Jurchens lacked self-hematopoietic ability and did not rob, their primitive regime had no possibility of sustaining.

At present, the General Staff estimates that there are still 30,000 to 40,000 armor soldiers in the Jurchen Tartars, and more than 100,000 slaves of various ethnic groups, and their strength has dropped to the level of the Liao State before it was destroyed thirty years ago.

Therefore, Xu Shiyang believed that from now on, the Governor's Office and the General Staff could begin to consider the new enemy after the fall of the Jurchens.

To this end, Xu Shiyang ordered the establishment of an intelligence department within the General Staff, which temporarily commanded five departments: Jurchen, Mengwu, Jiangnan 1 (for the Great Zhou), Jiangnan 2 (for the Li family), and the Western Regions.

Among them, the Western Regions Department should focus on the war dynamics between the party and Pars, and if necessary, should collect all kinds of information about Pars with the cooperation of the two Jiangnan (there are many Pars merchants in Jiangnan, and the Li family also has a fleet to Pars).

Now, there are few people in the staff who don't know that Xu Shiyang—and the governor of the capital, Xu Muhe, will definitely have a showdown with Da Zhou at some point, so it is not surprising that an intelligence unit against Da Zhou was formed.

What is really strange is that Xu Shiyang attaches great importance to the intelligence of the Western Regions.

This seems to indicate that even if he successfully replaces the Great Zhou to unify the world in the future, Xu Shiyang's ambition for expansion will not end.

At least not within the boundaries of the original traditional Han land.
