In history, the Great Song Dynasty and the Jurchens united to destroy the Liao State, but what the Great Song Dynasty did not expect was that when the Jurchens destroyed the Liao State, they also saw the military incompetence of the Great Song Dynasty.

Now Zhao Zhen's plan is almost exactly the same as that of the Jurchens, and the party that they dealt with together has fled, and he immediately turned his attention to his ally Liao, although this practice is very immoral, but for the country, it is originally the interests of the first, and other morality, integrity, and the like have no meaning at all.

However, in the end, Zhao Zhen still failed to make up his mind to let Cao Yu turn around and attack the Liao army, mainly because he was afraid that Li Yuanhao had no news yet, in case the other party was just temporarily hiding, if the two armies of Song and Liao were fighting, it would only allow Li Yuanhao to seize the opportunity, and then the other party would benefit, and it would only make the grand strategy formulated by the Great Song Dynasty collapse completely.

Zhao Zhen was reluctant to take risks, after all, the current situation was favorable to the Great Song Dynasty, and Li Zhang also thought of this, so after the two finally discussed, Zhao Zhen ordered Cao Yu to be temporarily stationed in Zhenzhou, and at the same time sent people to investigate the traces of the party members.

At the same time, the Liao side finally received a report from Yelu Zhirang, and learned that Li Yuanhao had fled without a fight, and Yelu Zongzhen immediately summoned Yelu Ren to discuss countermeasures.

"Li Yuanhao fled, do you think the Song army will take this opportunity to attack us?" Yelu Zongzhen frowned and asked Yelu Ren first, originally in his idea, it was best to let the party and the Great Song fight lose both, but they didn't expect Li Yuanhao to play his cards according to common sense, and he ran away without even fighting, which was really unexpected for them.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Li Yuanhao's whereabouts are unknown, and the Song army will definitely not dare to start a war with us at this time, but Zhenzhou City has fallen into the hands of the Song army, so the Great Song Dynasty will definitely reach out to the grassland!" Yeluren coughed lightly and said, compared to when he went to the Great Song Dynasty before, he seemed to be a little older, especially his hair was nearly half white, and his health was not very good, he was always sick recently, which was one of the reasons why he did not personally lead the troops to the battle.

"Zhirang's action this time is too slow, obviously we sent troops first, if we arrived in Zhenzhou earlier, there would be nothing to do with the Song people!" Yelu Zongzhen was also a little annoyed when he heard this, if they could take back Zhenzhou, then they would be able to restore the influence of the western grassland, and the most important thing was to keep the Song army out of the grassland, but now it was too late.

"Speaking of which, it's all to blame on me, it's me who asked Zhirang to delay the speed of the march, mainly because I wanted the Song army to fight with the party first, but I didn't expect Li Yuanhao to come to such a hand!" Yeluren coughed again, and then took the blame on himself.

"Forget it, Zhenzhou will lose it, anyway, the grassland people over there can't be counted on, and if the Song people really want the grassland, they will definitely find that the grassland people are a big mud pit, and falling into it will only consume their own strength!" Yelu Zongzhen didn't blame again at this time, but suddenly smiled and said.

Don't look at the Liao State ruling the grassland for so many years, but their dominance over the grassland is actually very weak, at most they maintain marriage with some of the grasslands, and strengthen their rule over the grasslands with the help of some cities built on the grasslands, but the grasslands are too big, and the grassland tribes are fighting endlessly, so no matter how hard the Liao State tries, it is still unable to bring the entire grassland into effective rule, but consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.

"Your Majesty, although the Great Song Dynasty will not attack us for the time being, if Li Yuanhao has news, or is found and eliminated by the Song army, then the Great Song Dynasty will definitely focus all its attention on us, and then a national war is inevitable, either we destroy the Great Song Dynasty, or be destroyed by the Great Song Dynasty, of course, there is a very small possibility that the two sides will draw, and then conclude an alliance." Yelu Renxian spoke again at this time.

Hearing Yelu Renxian's analysis, Yelu Zongzhen also frowned, in fact, he also thought of this, and Yelu Zongzhen said it sounded good, as if the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State were evenly matched, but in fact, the Liao State was in an absolute disadvantage, the last defeat made them not recover until now, and now they have lost a large area of grassland in the west, and the Goryeo people in the east are also ready to move, the Jurchens in the north are even more dishonest, not to mention the south, the Great Song has been sharpening knives, it can be said that their Liao State is enemy on all sides, The situation can be described as extremely unfavorable for them.

"Renxian, what do you think we should do now?" Yelu Zongzhen pondered for a long time, and finally asked again.

"Your Majesty, although the Great Song Dynasty is terrible, but now there is no energy to use troops against us for the time being, so we must seize this time to completely solve the domestic problems, for those nobles who refuse to submit, they should be killed, they should be caressed, as long as the internal problems are solved, even if the Great Song Dynasty pours the strength of the whole country to attack, we may not have no chance of winning!" Yeluren first said this and coughed again, he worked day and night for the Liao Kingdom, which also seriously damaged his health.

"That being said, but even if the Great Song Dynasty doesn't do anything, the Jurchens and Goryeo have been dishonest recently, and if they really raise troops, I'm afraid they will have to contain a lot of our troops." Yelu Zongzhen frowned and said again.

"The problem of the Jurchens is actually not big, the key is that we used to be too ruthless against them, causing them to be resentful, as long as Your Majesty is willing to appease them, they will definitely not want to really meet our sword soldiers!"

Yelu Renxian was very sure at this time, although the Jurchens were weak, but they lived between the white mountains and black waters, and it was difficult for the army to clear out, so Yelu Renxian suggested that the main thing to pacify was to appease, in fact, the reason why the Jurchens rebelled in the past was indeed because the Liao State oppressed them too much, which also led to the rise of the Jurchens, and launched a cruel revenge on the Liao State, which directly led to the disappearance of the entire Khitan people in the long river of history.

"What about Goryeo, these Goryeo people are taller than the sky, and they are ambitious to annex the land on the west side of the Yalu River, and if they want to appease them, they may have to cut the land!" Yelu Zongzhen also clenched his teeth when he mentioned Goryeo, and his face also showed a resentful expression, some time ago, Goryeo took advantage of their weakness to take away the area east of the Yalu River, which made Yelu Zongzhen also hate itchy, and now let him cut the ground to appease, he will definitely not be able to accept it.
