The exiled king of Goryeo was finally rescued by the navy of the Great Song Dynasty, and just when they were about to ask for help from the Great Song Dynasty, the navy also happened to arrive, so these people were temporarily taken to Dengzhou, which is the base camp of the navy, and it is only separated from Goryeo by a Bohai Strait.

Li Zhang didn't feel any sympathy for the current fate of Goryeo, after all, this was originally their own death, and they couldn't complain about others at all, and although the king of Goryeo escaped, the capital of Kaijing was broken, and the country was also occupied by the Liao army, although there were still some Goryeo people resisting, but in fact, it was already considered a dead country, and even if the Liao State was defeated in the future, it would be impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to help the other party restore the country.

Of course, it is definitely not possible to tell Wang Heng and these people the above truth now, because the Great Song Dynasty also needs them to incite the Goryeo people to rebel against the Liao army, and it is best to drag the Liao army to the land of Goryeo, so that the strength of the Liao State can be weakened as much as possible, as for this kind of resistance will make the Goryeo people pay greater casualties, it is not in the consideration of the Great Song Dynasty.

"I thought that the Liao army would still be like before, just to teach Goryeo a hard lesson, and would retreat after the battle, but I didn't expect that this time the Liao army didn't plan to leave." In the vertical arch hall, Zhao Zhen stroked his beard and looked at the situation report on Goryeo's side.

"The Liao State is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and they must also feel the crisis, so they must break this state of being surrounded, in this way, only the Goryeo side is the weakest, so they will definitely completely solve the threat from the east this time, and if it is even possible, they may attack the Jurchens in the north!" Li Zhang was not surprised.

"Cousin, we can't just watch Liao solve the surrounding threats, when do you think we can attack Liao?" Zhao Zhen suddenly asked Li Zhang with great interest, now that the Liao State has become the biggest goal in his heart, as long as the Liao State is destroyed, then his merits will surpass his two grandfathers, and his merits will catch up with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"Dealing with a strong enemy like Liao, even if the other party is weakened, but it is by no means one or two battles can be destroyed, if I want to say, I suggest that the Liao State should be cannibalized, after all, time is on our side, as long as it grinds slowly, the Liao State will be wiped out sooner or later!" Li Zhang thought for a moment before speaking.

"But isn't that too slow?" Zhao Zhen showed a tangled look after hearing this, after all these years of development, he already felt that the Great Song Dynasty could crush the Liao State from all aspects, and while he was in the prime of life, if he could directly destroy the Liao State through a big war, it would completely solve this threat, instead of leaving the Liao State to the descendants of future generations.

"In fact, since we defeated Yanyun and began to enter the grassland, the area controlled by the Liao State has been shrinking, and now the situation in our two countries is somewhat similar to the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo back then, except that the Liao State is stronger than the Goguryeo back then, and Tang Taizong failed to attack Goguryeo in a battle, and later it took many years to continuously invade Goguryeo, which dragged Goguryeo to exhaustion, so that the later Tang Gaozong destroyed Goguryeo in one fell swoop!"

When he said this, Li Zhang also paused for a moment and then said: "Compared with Tang Taizong back then, Your Majesty has a greater advantage, that is, Your Majesty is younger than Tang Taizong when he attacked Goguryeo, so His Majesty has time to consume the strength of the Liao State, and when we drag the Liao State to the exhaustion, we can save a lot of effort by sending troops to attack at that time." ”

Hearing Li Zhang compare himself to the famous Tang Taizong, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but feel fluttering, but he was very self-aware and quickly sobered up, even if he really destroyed the Liao State in the future, I am afraid it will not be comparable to Li Shimin, the emperor, after all, people followed his father to start from scratch, defeated all kinds of princes in just a few years, and single-handedly pushed the Tang Empire to a very strong point, and he asked himself that he could not do Li Shimin's level anyway.

"Cousin, your words also make sense, but now that the two countries still maintain at least one alliance on the surface, even if we want to send troops to invade, I'm afraid it will be a little unpleasant, right?" Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment and spoke again, although he knew that the covenant would be torn up sooner or later, he still had to abide by it before tearing it up, after all, his reputation as an emperor was still very important.

"You don't have to worry about this, when we signed the alliance with Liao, although the two countries generally maintained peace, didn't the small Liao army still go south every year to fight the grass valley, since they can do it, of course we can do it, Zhenzhou is a grassland, it is already very chaotic, we may send troops from there first, and constantly harass and threaten those tribes who have taken refuge in Liao, so that we can not only train troops, but also weaken the power of Liao!" Li Zhang suggested without pressure.

"That's right, that's it, in addition, Yan Yun can also send a small number of troops to test the Liao army, it is best to make them tired of coping, anyway, my Great Song Dynasty is strong, and the last thing I am afraid of is this kind of consumption!" Zhao Zhen also slapped his face when he heard this, and replied loudly.

There is a way that you do the first year of junior high school, I do the fifteenth, how did the Liao State treat the Great Song Dynasty back then, the Great Song Dynasty can now pay back little by little, after all, this world is the weak and the strong eater, the Great Song Dynasty was weak back then, and the bullying of the Liao State can only endure it, and now the feng shui is turning, and it is time to let the Liao State taste the taste of humiliation.

Seeing that Zhao Zhen accepted his suggestion without pressure, Li Zhang also showed a satisfied smile, in fact, his thoughts are still very different from those of the ancients, such as the covenant, the Khitans do not keep the covenant, and the Song people will only think they are barbaric, but if the Great Song Dynasty does not keep the covenant, I am afraid that many old masters will jump out and accuse the court of not being the same as the barbarians.

But fortunately, under his influence, Zhao Zhen is becoming more and more unfettered ideologically, for the country, everything is based on interests, as for those false names, they don't value much, of course, there is the best, if not, it doesn't matter, as long as it can be exchanged for actual benefits.

Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang's casual conversation decided on an important strategy of the Great Song Dynasty, and this decision was quickly notified by Zhao Zhen to the ministers, and after the ministers negotiated a specific implementation plan, this strategy of attacking the Liao State finally began to be implemented, but at this moment, a major event happened in the court: Lu Yijian suddenly fell ill!
