The three of them sat down, and after a simple chat, they served wine and food, and chatted while eating.

Of course, the topic they talked about was inseparable from the development of the two roads, which was the main reason why the three of them were invited by Gao Feng to come immediately. The land of the two roads is developed according to the idea of the peak, whether it can keep up with this rhythm, it is naturally impossible not to listen to the opinions of the peak.

Wang Shixin has been an official for a short time and has little qualifications, so he is willing to be a primary school student. Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye have been officials in various places for many years, not to mention how old they are, their experience alone is extraordinary, although they are old, they also listen to his opinions like primary school students.

Maybe they are different from ordinary pedantic literati, Gao Feng thought like this, but he didn't hide his secrets, and told his thoughts and ideas, and the three of them were in high mood and amazed.

After the main thing was over, a few people counted a few glasses of mud pool wine, and with a touch of wine, they started to talk about it again.

It's not all idle talk, it's just that the matter is not related to their essential work, but only a feat of worrying about the country and the people.

Zhang Shuye first made an introduction: "The news from the imperial court came that the envoy of Tong Shufu led troops to recruit Liao, can you judge the outcome of this move?" ”

This is talking about the war in the north, and Gao Feng has known about it for a long time, so it is not unexpected.

Indeed, if you want to say that the biggest thing in the current Great Song Dynasty is the war in the north.

In the second year of Xuanhe, the Song and Jin countries signed a maritime alliance, the alliance agreed that the two countries sent their own troops to jointly attack Liao, after the war, the Great Song Dynasty collected the lost land, and the Jin State attacked to replace the Liao State Shangjing and Zhongjing Dading Mansion, at the same time, the Song also promised to destroy the Liao, the original Yuyuan Alliance lost to the Liao years of the coins to the Jin State.

If this kind of agreement is really to be reached, it is not wrong for the Great Song Dynasty, after all, only 300,000 silver silks were handed over to the Jin State, and it could get the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the most important gateway to the north.

But the problem lies precisely in Zhao Ji, who has repeatedly made stupid moves. At that time, the union of the two countries was still secret, so there was no use of the national letter, Zhao Ji was through the way of writing a personal letter to contact the Jin people, and his imperial pen wrote: "According to Yanjing and the state city under the management, it was originally the Han land, if it is allowed to restore the old, the Zilai and Khitan silver silk will be transferred, you can go to the discussion, although there is no national letter, forgive me for not lying to me." ”

Its original intention was to recover the hometown of Yanyun's sixteen states, but in the letter, it only mentioned that Yanjing was in charge of the state city, which was regarded as self-restraint, so although the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty made many efforts to expand the jurisdiction of Yanjing, the Jin people were not fools, and they categorically refused to say that the rest were not under the jurisdiction of Yanjing, so this covenant was signed very poorly.

Of course, whether it is a nest or not, since the alliance has been signed, it should be implemented, but when the two countries agreed to send troops, the Fangla uprising occurred, and the Great Song Dynasty focused on suppressing Fangla.

Although Fang La was quickly pacified, and even the Song River, who had a small fight, surrendered, and the Great Song Dynasty was considered to be peaceful, but the consequences of these two uprisings were far more than that, and they gave major damage to several important grain-producing areas, making the Great Song Dynasty unable to send troops at all, so it was delayed again and again.

At this time, the Jin State saw that the sincerity of the Great Song Dynasty to send troops was insufficient, so he had to order the soldiers and horses of this dynasty to attack Zhongjing of the Liao State, causing Emperor Tianzuo to flee.

The Great Song Dynasty woke up like a dream, originally thought that the Jin people were just a small barbarian country, and it would not be long before they would be beaten down by the Liao State, but now it seems that the Jin State has the strength to attack Liao.

From surprise to envy, there was a lot of discussion in the Great Song Dynasty, and finally made up his mind to send troops to Liao, and it is estimated that he will not even be able to drink a cup of soup if he does not send troops.

At this time, the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to identifying that the Jin people were not weak, also saw the paper tiger nature of the Liao State.

Also, Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao State indulged in wine all day long, was desolate in safaris, appointed traitors, and persecuted Zhongliang, which made everyone rebel and leave, and the country can be described as a miasma, and no one believes that it still has combat power.

Not only that, Emperor Tianzuo, who was beaten away, is still making frequent faint moves like Zhao Ji, and this kind of death is not good if he doesn't want to die.

The first thing he did was to kill King Jin. It turned out that the vanguard officer used by the Jin State to enter the Liao State this time was actually the Liao clan general Yelu Yujian who took refuge in the Jin State, and Yelu Yujian's nephew was the King of Jin, and Xiao Fengxian, a Chongchen next to Emperor Tianzuo, had an enmity with the King of Jin, so he wanted to get rid of the King of Jin, so he said in front of Emperor Tianzuo that the reason why Yelu Yujian chased and fought fiercely was to establish the King of Jin as the emperor, and only by killing the King of Jin could Yelu Yujian's mind be stopped, so that he retreated without a fight.

So Emperor Tianzuo put the king of Jin to death, but the king of Jin was prestigious, and the officials and soldiers were very sad when they heard the news of his unjust death, and the hearts of the Liao army were even more dispersed.

The death of King Jin not only did not stop the pace of the Jin soldiers, but made them pursue more frantically, and Emperor Tianzuo had no choice but to defeat Jiashan at the suggestion of Xiao Fengxian. It's just that this still can't stop the pursuit of the Jin soldiers, and Emperor Tianzuo only realized at this time that he had fallen for Xiao Fengxian, so he had to put him to death, but unfortunately it was too late.

Emperor Tianzuo fled, leaving only Zhang Lin, the prime minister of Nanfu, Li Chuwen, the governor of the government, and Yeluchun, the king of Qin and Jin, to stay in Yanjing, when he lost contact, Li Chuwen and others supported Yeluchun as the emperor, and later generations called him Tianxi Emperor, which is the so-called Northern Liao.

In fact, the area of Northern Liao is not large, mainly Yan, Yundi Heping, Shangjing, and Liaoxi, that is to say, most of these lands are wanted by the Great Song Dynasty.

It's just that even this is difficult to preserve, the Jin soldiers quickly attacked, and soon captured Datong, Liaoxijing, Xijing was lost, Emperor Tianzuo continued to flee to the northwest, Emperor Tianxi had no choice but to ask for help from the Great Song Dynasty.

However, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty thought that if they did not send troops again, Yanjing would definitely be obtained by gold. Therefore, the envoys of Northern Liao were not allowed to enter the country, in order to refuse Yeluchun's request for peace, and sent troops to attack Liao.

This time the leader of the army was Tong Guan, who led the Privy Council as the envoy of Shaanxi, Hedong and Hebei Road, and Cai You was the deputy envoy, and the master Dao was the commander, leading an army of 150,000 to inspect the border, respond to the Jin army, and recruit the Youyan region in the name of attacking Liaoyanjing.

This attack on Liao can be said to be the right time, place and people, and the Great Song Dynasty placed high expectations on it. Yes, the Liao State has collapsed, and there is only one breath left, as long as they attack with absolute superiority in troops, they will definitely be defeated without a fight, and even surrender directly is not necessarily. And what Uncle Zhang said happened in this context.

On the surface, of course, things are completely favorable to the Great Song Dynasty, so not all of the monarchs and ministers who are optimistic about the Great Song Dynasty also account for more than ninety percent, even Zhang Shuye, Zong Ze, and Wang Shixin are also inclined to the Great Song Dynasty.

If you can't win, you can't win if everyone else is still breathing, so it's better to take a piece of tofu and kill you.

Of course, there is one strange person among them who doesn't think so, this person is the peak.
