When Chen Zongshan saw Lin Chong say this, he immediately became happy, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I also ask the Lord Lin to send troops as soon as possible to help the Western Army."

The combat power of the Liangshan Army is extraordinary, and the Lord of the Lin Army is even more invincible.

And Lin Junzhu himself can also avenge his grandfather and comfort the ancestors' heroic spirits, isn't it beautiful? ”

Lin Chong smiled, and said in his heart that this Chen Zongshan is very good at coaxing people, but he only listened to him: "Since you are in the ground, I also ask the Taiwei to reply to the imperial court and the official family, and say that forty days later, I, Lin Chongdang, will lead an army of 40,000 to conquer the Western Thieves."

He also asked the imperial court to send down an edict of Zhao'an within forty days to announce it to the world; Prepare the rewards of the army, and let the state capitals along the way prepare the grain and grass baggage, as well as the people along the way. ”

Chen Zongshan said happily: "Of course, of course!" Lord Lin Jun really worries about the country and the people, and he is dedicated to the public, which is admirable. ”

General Lu said with a smile: "Taiwei, you didn't understand, my brother said that the imperial court should immediately send down an edict and canonize my brother as the envoy of the Juye Festival, listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, hereditary replacement, and the conditions for the court to promise me the Liangshan Army, these must be announced to the world!" ”

Chen Zongshan's face changed slightly, he didn't expect this gang of thieves to be stupid, but this was not something he could agree, so he said that he would go back and report to the official family.

So the two sides discussed the amount of reward, the amount of grain and grass, and the route of the march.

Lin Chong's intention was to take the land route, and the Liangshan army set out from Jeju, passed outside Bianliang City, passed through Xijing Luoyang Henan Province, and then entered the border of Kansai from Tongguan.

Chen Zongshan also means to take the land route, Liangshan Army started from Yunzhou, crossed the Yellow River to Hebei Road, and then entered Guanxi Zhulu from the direction of Taiyuan on Hedong Road.

Lin Chong frowned and said, "The road in Tongguan is flat and suitable for marching; The mountain road of Hedong Road is rugged, and the march is extremely inconvenient.

Why is it easy to ask for difficulty, could it be that the imperial court still doesn't believe in me Liang Shanjun, and is worried that I Lin Chong is cheating? ”

"How come, Lord Lin is too careful!"

Chen Zongshan said kindly, this is not what he meant, everyone tacitly does it, and it is not interesting to say it.

Isn't it wrong for the imperial court to be on guard, what if you come to a false way to attack the enemy, march outside Bianliang City, and suddenly turn your face and attack Bianliang City?

Although the city of Bianliang is strong, and there are still 200,000 forbidden troops stationed in the city, it has to be guarded!

"The meaning of the imperial court is to let the Lin army master make a surprise attack, enter the territory of Western Xia from the direction of Fuzhou and Fengzhou, and sweep the walled cities of the western thieves along the way, so that the western thieves will lose their attention to each other, and they will not be able to take care of each other, so as to contain the forces of the western thieves."

Lin Chong nodded, but this tactic was reasonable.

In other words, this was originally the work that the Zhejia army should do, but now the Zhejia army wanted to guard against the Liao army, so he transferred himself to take the Liangshan army over.

Moreover, in this way, the Liangshan Army fought alone, and did not have to cooperate with the Western Army, which also saved a lot of trouble.

"Okay, my Liangshan army will enter the territory of Western Xia from Taiyuan, from Hedong."

The two sides again discussed the matter of rewards and the weight of grain and grass.

Lin Chong was reluctant to talk about these details, so he asked Lu Jiang, Xu Guanzhong, and Zhu Wu to talk to Chen Zongshan and others on his behalf, anyway, the more detailed and calculating, the better.

In this way, the imperial court will be more convinced that it wants to coexist peacefully, and use it to "sell fame and reputation" to win the hearts and minds of the righteous people.

Out of the conference hall, Lin Chong immediately ordered people to call Wen Huanzhang, Du Yan, Li Tianyan, Li Cheng, Ma Ling, Shi Xiu and other generals to come to the meeting.

What Lin Chong wants to discuss this time is how to deal with the Liao State.

In fact, when Li Jun and Hu Cheng came back before, they brought back a confidant of Zhao Lancheng, the deputy commander of the Ma Bujun in Nanjing, the commander of the Liao State.

And after Lin Chong broke the chain of horses and returned to Liangshan, the confidant steward revealed to Lin Chong two "confidential information" of the Liao State.

The first is that the emperor of the Liao State, Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, refused to admonish and pretend to be wrong, was poor and extravagant, and was entrenched in Youqi (hunting), credit slander, discipline was abolished, and people were resentful.

The second is that there are two major groups of relatives in the Liao State, one is Yelu Yanxi's queen Xiao Duolila, who gave birth to a son Qin King Yeluding, and Queen Xiao has an elder brother, who is Yelu Yanxi's first confidant and favorite minister, Xiao Fengxian, the king of Lanling County.

On the other hand, Concubine Wen Xiao Sese, who gave birth to Yelu Yanxi's eldest son, Yelu Aolu, the king of Jin. And Concubine Wen's younger sister Xiao Se was married to the Liao clan, the general, and the southern army was the commander of Yelu Yujian.

Because the eldest son, King Yelu Ao Lu of Jin, is the most outstanding of all the sons of Emperor Tianzuo, the most virtuous, and famous.

Therefore, Xiao Fengxian was often afraid that his nephew, King Ye Luding of Qin, would not be made the crown prince. The queen, Xiao Fengxian and others also often attacked Concubine Wen, King Jin, Yelu Yujian and others.

Zhao Lancheng felt that this information might be useful to the Liangshan army, so he specially ordered someone to come and tell him.

It's just that what Zhao Lancheng doesn't know is that in fact, he doesn't need to report this information, as a traverser, Lin Chong has long known it, and he knows more than him.

To say that this Yelu Yu is very famous, and the information that Lin Cong of later generations saw compared him to "Wu Sangui of Liao".

There are two kinds of speeches, one says that Yelu Yujian conspired with Concubine Wen to establish the King of Jin as the emperor and depose Emperor Tianzuo as the emperor, but failed; But more often than not, Xiao Fengxian framed him, Concubine Wen Xiao Sese, and the concubine Xiao Yu, plotting to make King Jin emperor.

In short, it was later that Emperor Tianzuo was furious, killed Xiao Yu, and gave Concubine Wen to die, and then Yelu Yu heard the news in the army and was afraid that it would not be clear, so he surrendered to the Jurchens with his troops.

After this guy surrendered to the Jurchens, he immediately became the leading party, and took the Jurchens to fight the Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, so that the Tianzuo Emperor had to flee to the clouds, and then fled into Jiashan.

After the Jurchens destroyed Liao, this guy followed Yan Zonghan to besiege Taiyuan City, and washed Taiyuan City in blood.

Later, Yelu Yujian was suspicious of Ginting again, and came up with the idea of defecting, but how could he play with the old fox Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin?

In the end, the Jurchens not only confirmed the rebellion of Yelu Yu and had him killed, but also took this opportunity to purge and massacre the Khitans and Han Chinese who surrendered to the Jurchens.

Lin Chong knew this information for a long time, but he didn't think of it for a while, and as soon as the person said it, Lin Chong immediately remembered it all, and hurriedly wrote it down in his notebook.

This time, Lin Chong called Wen Huanzhang, Du Yan, and Ma Ling to discuss if the Liangshan Army detonated the contradiction between Yelu Yujian and Xiao Fengxian's relatives in advance, so that Yelu Yujian would defect in advance.

In doing so, will the future situation be favorable or unfavorable to the Great Song? Is it good or bad for Liang Shanjun?

If this is beneficial to the Liangshan army, how can it be operated so that the Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi will be suspicious and force the anti-Yelu Yu?

Even Lin Chong also proposed that if he could really force Yelu Yu to see it, he would defect. Wouldn't it be more advantageous to intercept him and make him defect to Liangshan, or to the Song Dynasty?
