Zhao Ji thought so, and several Zaizhi also felt the same way, so they played a little clever trick on Ah Guda and Yelu Yanxi and spoofed them. If the Jin State wins, then the Song State will take the opportunity to fall into the well and beat the water dogs; If the Liao State wins, then it will not recognize the contract signed with the Jin State and continue to live in peace with the Liao State.

This kind of practice of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight cannot be said to be wrong, but the premise is that you must have enough strength to fight the tiger, if your strength can't even beat the sick cat, what else can you talk about fighting the tiger? Because with the current military strength of the Song State, it is impossible to defeat the Liao State, let alone the Jin State. Moreover, Zhao Ji's practice of riding the wall is unflattering on both sides and offends everyone.

At this time, Fang La started an incident in the southeast and burned a raging fire, and the western army that was ready to be used to cut down Liao had to be transferred south to quell the chaos, and the matter was put down, and after the incident, Zhao Ji seemed to have forgotten about the war and stopped mentioning it. Wang Hao and the others were angry with Tong Guan Gaosheng, and they definitely didn't want him to build another 'special honor', so they kept silent. This is actually not a bad thing, if it is really maintained like this, everyone will be able to live a good life for a few years, but Wang Huang's little abacus let Tong Guan know...

After thinking about it, Wang Hao thought of a good way to benefit himself and Tong Guan and Zhao Ji. The next day, he first went to see the emperor to blow the wind in his ear, and he said: Your Majesty, the south has been pacified, the economy has recovered, Huashigang has recovered, and good news has come from the north, the Jin State has won a decisive victory in the life-and-death decisive battle with the Liao State, and the territory of the Liao State has been lost in a large area. Even Yelu Yanxi, the emperor of the Liao State, is fleeing in all directions, the Liao State is about to perish, do you still want the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun? If you want to, then you have to do it as soon as possible, don't be robbed by the Jurchens.

It is said that 'greedy for small and cheap suffers big losses', Zhao Ji was fascinated by the blueprint drawn by Wang Huang, and also felt that he had the invincible Western Army in his hands, and it should be easy to fight a lost dog now, so he nodded and agreed. Wang Hao grasped the holy will, and immediately joined the young master Li Bangyan to play and seconded the proposal. Agree that Tong Guan will send troops to attack Liao, recover Yanyun, and unswervingly support Tong Taishi's Northern Expedition to complete the great cause of reunification!

In November, Tong Guan re-led the Xuanfu envoys from Shaanxi and Hebei to manage the north and prepare for the attack on Liao. According to Wang Hao's intentions, he simply did it to the end, and took Zhao Ta's from Hedong Xuanfu to the end. Let Tong Guan do it. But this 'kindness' was rejected by Tong Guan, and at this time he finally did not forget the appointment with Zhao Ta. left the post of Hedong Xuanfu envoy to him, hoping that he would build meritorious deeds with himself

Although the holy decree had not yet arrived, Zhao Ta at this time had already been clear about what was happening in the court, and even knew the content of the small note that Tong Guan wrote to Wang Hao. Tong Guan's method is actually very simple, he told Wang Hao that you can pull Cai Jing off the horse, that's because I didn't participate, I didn't interfere, don't think it's all your 'credit', it really Lao Tzu off. I personally went out to contact the ministers, and then helped Cai Jing to power. Don't blame us for being rude then, the first one is to deal with you! And Wang Hao also ate this, he was bold when he heard it, and he was afraid that these two treacherous and cunning guys would unite again, when Cai Jing was relegated to Hangzhou, Tong Guan could find a way to get him back. Now it was not possible, so he compromised.

Now, even if Zhao Ta doesn't know the results of the Liao invasion in the history of Lu Dao, even if he analyzes the current situation a little, he also knows that Lu Dao will lose this battle. In his opinion, the defeat of the Song Dynasty next year was actually doomed as early as the outbreak of the Song-Xia War a few years ago. The confrontation with the Western Xia, which lasted for several years, greatly consumed the elite vitality of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, and at the same time made the Song forever lose the preparation time to recover Yanyun. When this year quelled the Fangla Rebellion and started to attack Liao, I found that everything was not as perfect as I imagined, although at this time the Liao State had been divided into two, and Yanjing was a good fighter hanging alone, but this fighter was already difficult to grasp.

If Song and Jin were able to take advantage of the victory of Hehuang to negotiate peace with Western Xia and ease relations with Xia when the discussion of Song Jin Fu Yanyun began, and withdraw the western army from the northwest, complete the military transfer and defense of Shaanxi with Hebei and Hedong as soon as possible, adopt the principle of 'preparing for the west and the east,' concentrate the main forces on Hebei, recuperate and recuperate, train diligently, improve armaments, and enhance combat effectiveness. However, they made contact with the Jurchens without forming an alliance, so that they could keep room for maneuver in war, defense, and peace, and stay out of the war and wait to see how the situation changes. At the same time, the government should stabilize internally, reassure the people, and create conditions for the use of troops abroad.

After the Liaojin War, the Song Dynasty strengthened the military strength of Hebei after the reorganization of the army, forming a favorable situation that Yanyun can be recovered by entering and Henan's protection can be protected by retreating. Even if Yanyun cannot be recovered, it is the right strategy to strengthen the border defense, take precautions, and prevent problems before they happen, so as to deal with the worst situation after the rise of the Jin State.

On the other hand, the Jin State was much smarter, they didn't know much about the Song Dynasty at that time, after all, the two countries were still separated by the vast Liao State, only knowing that the Song Dynasty was a big country comparable to the Liao, and they didn't know much about the military strength of the Song Dynasty, but they were able to look at the current situation correctly in the negotiations, always grasp the initiative, and strive for the greatest interests for themselves.

Among the sixteen states of Yanyun ruled by the Liao State, eight states belonged to Xijing Province and six states belonged to Yanjing Province, and when the two countries met to attack Liao, Song's goal was all the sixteen states of Yanyun. When Zhao Liangsi proposed, the Jin State generously agreed that the 14 states would return to the Song Dynasty, and they only needed the two states of Ping and Ying, which seemed to be a loss, but it actually showed the foresight of the Jin State.

In fact, as long as you analyze it carefully, you can find that Jin Guo promised Xijing to return to the Song Dynasty, but in fact he wrote a blank check. According to the agreement between the two sides, Xijing was captured by both sides, and whoever occupied it belonged to whom, but if the Jin State did not agree to the return of Xijing Prefecture to the Song Dynasty, the Song would naturally not agree to attack the Xijing of the Liao State, and they were worried that once they could not get along with the Song, the Song would form an alliance with the Liao instead, not only losing the bargaining chips for negotiation, but also possibly adding an enemy for no reason. Therefore, Jin Guo cleverly proposed that Xijing belong to you Song, and you only need to increase the 200,000 yuan of coins, this transaction is profitable in anyone's opinion, and Song has no reason not to agree. So Jin Guoxian exchanged a blank check for 200,000 yuan of real money, which was a huge amount of money for the Jurchens who were used to living a poor life, and they could do a lot of things.

As for the two prefectures of Ping and Ying, they are remote areas, and they are rural areas compared to Yanjing, but they have an important position in the military. Yuguan in Pingzhou is the key throat of the Central Plains to the Liaodong region under the control of Jin, after the war, Yanjing belongs to the pass, Bauhinia Pass, Juyong Pass, Gubeikou, etc. are all returned to the Song Dynasty in accordance with the treaty, and the Jin people can only enter the Yuguan, so it seems that the strategic position of Pingzhou is so important to Jin Compared with the two compartments, the contrast is huge, and the Song has lost at the starting line!
