According to Wang Lun's thoughts, the Maritime Alliance has two drawbacks.

First, he did not see the true face of the wolf ambition of the Jin State, and he did not have the strength to deter the Jin State by seeking food from the wolf, but he exposed his weak strength in front of the Jin State prematurely.

Second, the decision-making level hesitated in the negotiations with Jin Guo, blindly retreated, and even spoke without brains, tying their hands and feet everywhere, which laid the cause for Jingkang's difficulty.

If Wang Lun wants to change the status quo, he has to establish a sphere of influence, and he has to work hard in advance on the three points of the Great Song Dynasty, Song Huizong and Zhao Liangsi.

Wang Lun pondered for a while before he said: "Although the Great Liao is strong, it has shown signs of decay in the past few decades, especially the contemporary Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi, who inherited the mess left by the Liao Daozong, but he didn't know how to make every effort to save the decline. On the contrary, he treated his courtiers and refused to admonish and pretend to be wrong, lived a poor and luxurious life, and even more was a credit slander, which made the discipline lax and resentful! ”

After listening to Wang Lun's words, Zhao Liangsi nodded and said, "I have lived in the north for a long time, and I know a lot about this!" ”

Then, Wang Lun continued to ask, "Then have you ever seen a person from the Jurchen tribe?" And what about their combat power? Compared to the words of Liao. ”

Zhao Liangsi immediately replied: "I have also heard of the name of the Jurchen earlier, and recently I have seen the power of the Jurchen warriors with General Li. The Liao State is different from the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to the Khitans, there are many other races in the territory, among which the most powerful people are recognized as the Jurchens! Although the number of this Jurchen tribe is small, because they live in a harsh place, they have developed the ability to be a single person like a tiger, several people like a dragon, an ape like an ape in the mountains, and an otter in the water. ”

"I once heard a Liao general say that if it was a battlefield battle, one Jurchen person could resist three Khitan warriors. In recent years, the Jurchen people have repeatedly had friction with the Khitans, and their people have been oppressed by the Liao State for generations, and everyone has hated the Khitans. It was only a matter of time before he asserted that the Jurchens were against Liao, so he came up with the plan of 'Lianjin to destroy Liao' and use the power of the Jurchens to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun! I don't want it to happen now! ”

The general Li mentioned by Zhao Liangsi was Li Xi, and Wang Lun arranged for him to be a secret hand in the north.

Zhao Liangsi said it vigorously, obviously full of confidence in his plan, and Wang Lun couldn't help but be moved by it in his heart.

Wang Lun looked directly into Ma Zhi's eyes and poured cold water on him. "Our Great Song Dynasty has fought with the Liao State since the founding of the country, sacrificing the lives of countless soldiers, and only then did we reluctantly use a humiliating 'Lanyuan Alliance' in exchange for this hundred years of peace. If the Jurchens can really destroy the Liao State, it means that our Great Song Dynasty has just driven away a wolf, and we will have to face a tiger that is more terrifying and greedy than the wolf again! ”

Hearing Wang Lun's point, Zhao Liangsi was shocked! I felt that my legs were weak, and I sat back in my seat, looking at Wang Lun blankly.

"Mr. Zhao!" Wang Lun sighed lowly, "It's not that Wang is alarmist, all the efforts and sacrifices made by Mr. Zhao to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun really make Wang admire." It's just that this matter is not only related to whether the sixteen states of Yanyun can be recovered, but also related to the fate of my Great Song Dynasty, please think twice, Mr. Zhao! Please also ask Mr. Zhao not to be blinded by anxiety because he desperately wants to take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. ”

"Jurchens, don't be on guard!"

After Zhao Liangsi digested it for a while, Wang Lun continued, "The Liao State is in decline, defeated again and again, and the rise of the Jurchens is inevitable. At this point, Wang and Brother Zhao see the same, all we can do is how to take advantage of the rise of the Jurchen. In the next assertion, the Jurchen will be able to sweep away the leaves with the autumn wind and beat the Liao State all over the ground to find teeth, but for our Great Song Dynasty, the Liao State can be injured or even disabled, but it must not be killed! ”

"Otherwise, the Jurchens who can even destroy the Liao Kingdom will definitely make a move against our Great Song Dynasty next! Therefore, Brother Zhao must enter the words of the saint, when he is in danger in Liao, my Great Song must send troops to help Liao, and the price of sending troops is ...... It is the Sixteen States of Yanyun! ”

What Wang Lun wanted was to let Liao take the initiative to cut the land!

Zhao Liangsi couldn't help but nodded, but said strangely, "But what if the Liao Kingdom refuses?" ”

Wang Lun smiled and said, "The Liao State will not refuse, in front of either destroying the country or returning the things that originally belonged to others, as long as you are not a fool, you should be able to make the right choice." Even if he refuses, we can attack it according to the old plan, but the purpose is not to help Jin destroy Liao, but to threaten him and make him suffer from the enemy, not afraid that he will not obey! ”

"At that time, we will help Liao defend against the Jurchens, although the Khitan army is not as good as the Jurchens, but it is also extremely brave, plus our army helps, self-protection should not be a problem. At that time, let's negotiate peace between the Jurchens and the Liao State, and then the momentum of the three kingdoms will become a success! ”

Zhao Liangsi heard this, and said with great joy: "This plan is very good, if it can really be like this, it will not be a fantasy to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun without spending a single soldier!" ”

saw Wang Lun shaking his head again, "If this happens, there must be a resolute prerequisite." ”

Zhao Liangsi was stunned, "What other conditions?" ”

Wang Lun said, "This condition is the strength of our Great Song Dynasty!" Since we signed the Yuanyuan Alliance with the Liao State a hundred years ago, although we have exchanged for a hundred years of peace on the border with Liao, starting from Emperor Zhenzong, through Renzong, Yingzong, Shenzong, Zhezong, and even today's Shengshang, we have forgotten the training and preparation for war against Liao. And the Hebei Army and the Jingshi Army, which were used to directly defend the Liao State, have not fought for a hundred years, and now from top to bottom, military discipline is loose and weapons are lost! Compared with the two armies that fought with the Liao army a hundred years ago and did not fall behind, they are no longer the same! ”

"Looking at the whole country now, only the Western Route Army under the command of the Seed Master Dao has not weakened much because it has gone to Western Xia to fight all year round! But how can that army alone protect the whole country? The rise of the Jurchens and the destruction of Liao is only a matter of the past two years, although the time is urgent, but there is still time, Brother Zhao must enter the words of the saint, and pay close attention to military training throughout the country, especially the Yingchang, Gongzhou, Zhengzhou, and Shanzhou on the four sides of Gyeonggi, which directly protect the four-way auxiliary army of Bianliang in Tokyo, must strictly rectify military discipline and practice diligently, and it will be of great use in the future! Our own army is strong, and even if all the strategies are mistaken at that time, at least we can protect ourselves, and even ...... It is not a problem to directly recover the sixteen states of Yanyun! ”

After Wang Lun finished speaking, he saw Zhao Liangsi looking at him in a daze, his eyes full of shock!

According to this, Wang Lun wants to return to the dynasty by himself, and he is not afraid of his own revenge? If the imperial court trains elite soldiers, what should we do if we must first secure the inside of the house? Zhao Liangsi only felt dizzy, and he couldn't figure it out for a while. Wang Lun! What kind of mountain king are you?

Seeing that Zhao Liangsi was stunned, Wang Lun asked softly, "Brother Zhao...... What happened to you? ”

Zhao Liangsi breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Wang Lun in a daze and said: "Lord Wang Dazhai, now I, Zhao Liangsi, really know you and know what it is to serve the country and the people!" Don't worry, if you recover the clouds, I will definitely ask Your Majesty for an edict to pardon you in Liangshan! ”

Wang Lun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "We will forge ahead, and first recover the clouds and revive China!" ”

Seeing off Li Xi and Zhao Liangsi, Wang Lun said in his heart: "If you recover Youyun, the court will surrender, and it depends on whether he is willing or not!" ”

The land of clouds is promising!
