"Master Hou, General Feng, the emperor personally wrote this handwritten letter, and before leaving, he told the last general that no matter who he meets on the way south, he must tell the other party to act according to the plan in the handwriting, and must not change the direction of attack at will, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law."

The stone tore off the thick package on the outside of the handbook, revealing the white paper, and sent the handbook to Lin Xiao with a respectful expression.

Lin Xiao took the handbook, sat next to Feng Shihu, opened the handbook, the two of them were a little surprised when they saw the handbook, this handbook was not so much written, but drawn, there were only 100 words on it, and the rest was a dense marching route.

"Stone, is the handwritten book really from the hands of the imperial brother, what is he capable of withdrawing the three defense lines of the three counties of the Hunhe River, and letting the cavalry of the tribes return to the camp. Moreover, in the handwriting, it is required that we only need to lead the troops to annihilate one by one. So, what about the imperial brother, why didn't he go south and don't return to Yan Kingdom, the matter would be a big deal. Lin Xiao agreed with the suggestion in the handbook, if there was no flaw in the handwriting, it was only a matter of time before he captured the three counties of Hunhe.

However, he was also a little skeptical, no matter how powerful Lin Feng was, how could he mobilize the Donghu cavalry of the three counties of Hunhe, according to the deployment in the handwriting, the Donghu people would be like prey, stupidly burrowing into the traps set by the armies of all walks of life.

"Master Hou, don't worry, before the end of the general leaves, the emperor has already divided his troops and gone south, presumably he has left the mouth of killing the tiger now." Shi said, according to Lin Feng's meaning before leaving, it is inevitable to take the three counties of Hulin, so it is imperative that the troops are turbulent. "In addition, when the emperor attacked and killed the tiger's mouth at night, he captured Tafeng, the generals of the three counties of Hunhe, alive, and mobilized the Donghu cavalry with the Tafeng Great Seal, so the prince can rest assured that the emperor's deployment is stable."

Looking at the dense black arrows on the handwriting, Lin Xiao glanced at Feng Shihu, his heart was enthusiastic, he clenched his fists, and immediately decided: "General Feng, immediately send someone to inform General Zhang, immediately annihilate the Donghu army of the unit, let's divide the troops into three routes, go north from Hulin County, cooperate with the imperial brother to capture the three counties of Hunhe, and return south as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!"

The capital of the Song Kingdom, Kaifeng! The most prosperous place in the east.

After several generations of hard work, the commerce of the Song Kingdom was super developed, and the chaebols were scattered all over the country.

Walking on the bustling street at will, there are green tiles and red walls everywhere, the abrupt horizontal cornices, the high fluttering shop signboard flags, the sparkling carriages and horses, the endless flow of pedestrians, and the tranquil and comfortable smiling faces, all of which reflect the self-satisfaction of the people of the Song Dynasty for the prosperous era.

Empress Lin Shuying ascended the throne, the Song Kingdom hibernated for five years, and this year, she finally couldn't hold it back and began to show her muscles.

Since the beginning of the spring, the Song State sent 250,000 troops, attacking Jin in the north and Zheng in the south, with the assistance of the Yan State coalition army, the Song State swallowed the nine counties of the Jin State in the north, the land area surged, and the overall strength also made a great leap. In the south, Liangming Pass was captured, and Zhu Hai, a famous general of Zheng State, died on the battlefield, and the Song State was in the limelight for a while.

The news spread to the vassal states, the former magnificent and powerful Song State, and then appeared in everyone's minds, those small states that were far away from the Song State before, rushed to the Song State to meet and worship, and the small states and small states in the gap between the big countries began to seek refuge in the Song State.

Empress Lin Shuying was ambitious, and when she accepted the worship of various states, she did not stop, and sent the prince Song Qi to attack Liang in the east and achieved many victories, but her ambition did not stop there, and she hoped that when the alliance was met in the coming year, Song would replace Zhao and become the overlord of the north.

Therefore, when the three kings of Zhao State competed for the throne, Song State did not watch from the sidelines, but actively participated in it, secretly pretending to be a-stirring stick, and sent someone to assassinate the sixth prince Zhao Ke to blame the third prince Zhao Fan, and when Zhao Ke lost power, he secretly let the chaebol in Zhao support Zhao Ke, and returned to China to fight with the three princes.

The Song State changed its strategy in time, fully supported the eldest prince Zhao Xu, and helped him ascend to the throne and achieve an overwhelming victory.

It's a pity that the Song Kingdom was negligent, and he missed Li Mu in the north by all calculations, and even neglected King Zhao Heng, who pretended to be sick.

Zhao Ke, who fled to the north, under the escort of Li Mu's army, entered the capital with infinite scenery, pulled down Zhao Xu in full view of everyone, and ascended the throne strongly.

King Zhao Heng, who had pretended to be sick for several months, personally appeared in front of everyone and announced that Zhao Ke had ascended to the throne, which was a move that was in line with the will of heaven and the people.

Zhao Ke succeeded to the throne, and the Song State failed in Zhao State, throwing countless money and grain into the water, not to mention, but also because many chaebols finally supported the eldest prince Zhao Xu, Zhao Ke immediately seized all the throne, and tens of thousands of gold and silver were confiscated to the treasury.

If it was just money and food, the Song State could afford to lose, but after Zhao Ke succeeded to the throne, through unconventional means, he found out that the assassin who assassinated him in the mansion that day was from the Song State, so that the two countries of Zhao and Song were immediately in a hostile position.

Originally, there was competition between the princes and countries, both openly and secretly, which is normal, after all, everyone knows that the big man has great power, and he doesn't want to be bullied, he doesn't want to be annexed and destroyed, so he can only accumulate strength and seek self-preservation.

However, the Song State openly sent assassins to assassinate the prince of the Zhao State, and this prince happened to ascend to the throne, so the people who had been assassinated would naturally not have a good look at the Song State.

Because of his bad background, Zhao Ke was bullied by ministers in the past, bullied by the emperor's brother and brother, and now he is bullied by foreigners, and he also risked the world's condemnation to assassinate himself, which is unbearable, and the young and vigorous Zhao Ke naturally can't bear it.

Not long ago, the messenger of Zhao sent an edict, asking Song to cede the land and make up for the mistake of assassinating Zhao Ke, otherwise, Zhao Guohu's army marched eastward, which would make Song pay the price.

Zhao Ke's tone in the letter was domineering, but he ignored one thing, the empress Lin Shuying had never been afraid of Zhao before, even when his father Zhao Hengwang was in power, he did not send people to Zhao to meet him, and he did not send congratulatory gifts during the New Year's holidays, not to mention that Zhao Ke succeeded to the throne now, the situation in Zhao was unstable, and the family rejected it.

A hairy boy, Lin Shuying didn't pay attention to it at all, if he fought, he would meet each other, and the army of hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves in the Song Kingdom would be afraid.

Today's Song State is no longer the Song State that was forbearant everywhere back then, and today's Zhao State is not the Zhao State that dominated the north at the beginning, the empress has long been competing for the hegemony of the north, and she is afraid that she will not have the opportunity to meet with the swords and soldiers of Zhao State.

Lin Shuying is so confident for two reasons.

First, when the princes were vying for the throne, Feng Zixiu, a supporter of the eldest prince Zhao Xu, openly doubted the edict of the first emperor and confronted Li Mu and Zhao Ke.

Zhao Ke succeeded to the throne, Feng Zixiu naturally did not end well, no matter if you are a famous general or holding hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, you directly copied Feng Zixiu's family, and all the more than 70 mouths were put on death row.

If this happened to ordinary people, it might not be a big deal, and it would not attract national attention. However, Feng Zixiu is a famous general of the same name as Zhao and Li Mu, and he has fought for Zhao in the south and north all his life, laid a lot of territory, and has made a lot of meritorious contributions.

The main generals of the Nanda Battalion wrote a handwritten letter, and the 200,000 Tiger Ben Army pressed the bloody handprint, and the handwritten letter was sent to Handan, the national capital, asking Zhao Ke to release Feng Zixiu and give everyone an explanation.

The military general wants to blackmail the emperor? Zhao Ke not only did not agree, on the contrary, under the pretext that the main generals of the Nanda Camp neglected their duties in the battle of Zheng, causing the 300,000 tiger troops of the Nanda Camp to suffer from floods and heavy losses, he ordered the Praetorian Guards of the capital to go to the Nanda Camp and captured the main generals of the Nanda Camp and returned to Beijing.

Originally, Zhao Ke succeeded to the throne, in addition to the support of the people, there were very few supporters in the DPRK and China, so that even the army also had a voice of resistance, not to mention that the other party was still 200,000 tiger army, when the Janissaries went to Nandaying to capture the general of the tiger army, the southern camp tiger army mutinied under the planning of the main general Li Tiehu and Guo Mingxia, and supported Zhao Fan, the third prince of the exiled Chen State in the west, as the emperor.

Zhao Fan ascended the throne, and the Tiger Ben army quickly occupied the former garrison, occupied the thirteen counties of Zhao State, and the capital was located in Daxing City in the south of Zhao State, claiming Southern Zhao to the outside world, and Zhao Ke was opposed to the north and south.

And Zhao Fan was originally in the court, there are many family ministers to support, plus very prestigious, and now Zhao Ke is cleaning the old ministers of the gate valve family in the court, therefore, many old ministers of the family in the court, the famous ministers are rushing to the wind, and they have gone to Daxing City to seek refuge in Zhao Fan.

In this way, Zhao Ke, who was originally very popular among the people, suddenly became the target of public criticism, expelling the Li family, imprisoning famous generals, implicating generals, and putting things on the table, and because Zhao Fan ascended the throne in Daxing City, Zhao State, which was originally strong and dominated in the north, was divided into two.

Zhao Ke and Zhao Fan, the prestige and strength of both sides, one side and the other, Zhao Ke governed Zhao for less than half a month, so that Zhao Guo's strength lost a lot, and even Li Mu, who supported Zhao Ke, also had a lot of complaints about Zhao Ke's handling of the generals of the Southern Daying, and simply led the troops back to the North Daying, ignoring the affairs of the DPRK and China.

Zhao Ke is quite talented, otherwise, King Zhao Heng would not have deliberately set a trap and imprisoned many famous ministers and generals, however, Zhao Ke acted too fiercely, because during the prince's period, he was rejected by the family for a long time, and in dealing with the family problem, he was inevitably too extreme, which caused today's disaster.

At the beginning, King Zhao Heng imprisoned many famous ministers and generals because of the matter of the eldest prince, if Zhao Ke succeeded to the throne, he took a co-optation posture towards these people, and slowly figured it out on the issue of the family, not only would he not become the target of the public, but he would also be supported by the family, and he could make drastic changes.

When the empress Lin Shuying received Zhao Ke's edict, she expelled the envoy as soon as possible, but instead took the initiative to establish friendship with Zhao Fan and communicate with each other.

Second, Zhao attacked the Song Dynasty, in addition to the southern detour through the Zheng State and the hinterland of the Song State, the two places in the east and the north used troops, both of which needed to pass through the Yan State, according to Lin Shuying's understanding of Lin Feng, not to mention that the Tiger Ben Army stepped into the land of Yan State, that is, Chen soldiers on the border of Yan State, Lin Feng did not agree, so he didn't take Zhao Ke's threat in his eyes at all, he wanted to fight, and he would defeat Yan State first.
