Cui Shang and Zhang Wanshan were taken aback, obviously a little difficult to accept Jiang Feng's decision, but Jiang Feng's words had already been exported, and it was in front of the newlywed queen, and it was difficult for the two of them to object.

Cui Shang thought for a while and nodded slowly: "Your Majesty estimates that although Hu Bing is debauched and arrogant, he should still go for the goods, and for the royal family, there should still be at least respect, and it should not be a big problem in the short term. ”

Jiang Feng is also difficult to ride a tiger, if he doesn't say anything in front of Li Jin, he will be a little too much to say, but he is still the old man and the old mother-in-law, even if the prestige of this court has been reduced to the extreme or even negligible, but at least he is still the king of Song by him.

In addition, I also mentioned to him in the letter that Guanzhong could be handed over to him, but asked him to treat the gentry of Chang'an kindly, and if there were gentry and merchants who wanted to go east to the Song Kingdom, please let them go. Jiang Feng added.

"King, Guanzhong handed it over to him, do you need a name?" Cui Shang frowned.

"The title can't be given to him, and it is estimated that Yang Wenchang doesn't care about this, he just wants Guanzhong Plain. Jiang Feng sighed, "This guy is also an ambitious hero, and he has endured it for many years, and he finally waited for such an opportunity, Bai Ling, let's talk about the situation in Heshuo." ”

Li Jin got up and wanted to leave, but was pulled by Jiang Feng, "Sit down, if you are alone in the future, you will inevitably have to come into contact with these things." ”

Cui Shang saw that Jiang Feng did not shy away from Li Jin, and his heart was also in shock, it seems that the king's trust in the queen is higher than imagined.

"The king, Wang Miao sent a letter, the Chengde states have been taken, Zhang Chujin burned himself to death, but Liu Shouguang has officially surrendered to the Khitans, and served as the king of the Southern Courtyard, Yelu Deguang has officially changed the Khitan country to Liao, the year name Datong, led an army of 150,000 to Youzhou, and Liu Shouguang's 50,000 army to make peace. ”

Although he had known about this before, hearing that Yelu Deguang's 150,000 army was heading south, Jiang Feng was still shocked.

"Can the number of 150,000 troops be implemented?" Jiang Feng's gaze fell on Zhang Wanshan's face.

"According to the information we have, the Khitan national army is only 150,000, which should be an imaginary number, and there are still many savages in the north who have not completely surrendered, and it is already the limit to have 100,000 to go south. On this point, Zhang Wanshan replied very affirmatively, "But the Khitan people live in the army and the people, and their mobilization ability is relatively strong, and it is not excluded that they have mobilized some tribal auxiliaries to go south, but it is impossible for the regular army to be as many as 150,000." ”

"Bai Ling, did Jiu Lang mention the situation of the army under Liu Shouguang?" Jiang Feng's thinking had already spun rapidly, and he began to think about how to deal with it, this is a real national war, the question is if the Khitan people go south, what will happen to the Shatuo people?

"Liu Shouguang's Lu Long Army is about 50,000 to 60,000 people, but at present, the Gao brothers have taken away nearly 10,000 troops to serve us, plus there are still some Lu Long troops are still in the state of both ends of the first rat, we estimate that Liu Shouguang can control about 35,000 to 40,000 troops, but Liu Shouguang attaches more importance to army training, and Lu Longjun's combat strength is not weak, it is stronger than the Chengde Army and Wei Bo's army. ”

Cui Shang also introduced the news that Wang Miao came back.

"Jiulang appointed the Gao brothers as the governor of the Chengde army to do a good job, this kind of thing needs to be decided immediately, after the Khitan people go south to Youzhou, Youzhou will have a period of chaos, Liu Shouguang has not bent to the Khitan people for so many years, but at the last moment softened, hum, I am afraid that it will bring chaos to people's hearts, this is a good opportunity for us. Jiang Feng said word by word: "But this time will not be too long, maybe two or three months, maybe half a year, we have to do everything we can to drag the opponent, as long as it can be delayed until next spring, the Khitans can only go south until next autumn." ”

"If that's the case, then we're not afraid, just ......" Cui Shang hesitated.

Jiang Feng also knew what Cui Shang was worried about, and in fact, he was also worried about this.

Yelu Deguang and Shu Luping are not mediocre people, and they can naturally see the changes in the situation in the Central Plains, why they forced Liu Shouguang to surrender at this time, in fact, they are aware that once they gain a firm foothold in Heshuo, they will not be so easy if they want to go south in the future.

"I'm afraid that the Khitans won't give us this time. Jiang Feng's tone also became gloomy.

It is unrealistic to expect the Khitans to delay until next year, since Yelu Deguang chose this time, he must take advantage of his first entry into Heshuo, defeat the Song army in one fell swoop, and completely take the entire Heshuo.

In this way, all the land of Hebei was mastered by him, and in the future, he was condescending, and he had a geographical advantage over the Great Song Dynasty, and he could cross the Henan invasion at any time.

This is also what I want to try my best to avoid, but I didn't expect to be preempted by the opponent, and the celebrities in history are not blown.

"That great king......" Cui Shang also realized this, if the Khitans merge with Liu Shouguang now and go south, with the current Pinglu army and the newly formed Chengde army, it will be difficult to resist, and Wei Bojun is afraid that he will not wholeheartedly support the Song army at this time, and the whole situation may collapse completely if he is not careful.

"Bai Ling, if we collapse in Heshuo at this time, what do you think Li Cunhou will think?" Jiang Feng said slowly.

"Then Li Cunhou is afraid that he will be worried that the Khitans will fight against him, if Heshuo is obtained by Yelu Deguang, then the foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty - Hedong is under the threat of the Khitans, I am afraid that the Shatuo people will not be able to sleep well. Cui Shang frowned and thought, "The king wants to join forces with the Shatuo people?"

"Join forces with the Shatuo people, the Shatuo people will not contribute, with us in front, they are hoping that we and the Khitans will fight you to the death. Jiang Feng shook his head, "But we must at least make sure that they don't pull us back." ”

"How?" Cui Shang was a little puzzled.

"On the one hand, we have to make Yang Wenchang more ambitious and have a bigger appetite, but we have to prevent him from biting us, and on the other hand, we have to make the Shatuo people realize that once we withdraw from Heshuo, then the Khitan blade may be pointed at them. Jiang Feng said word by word.

"Is the king planning to make peace with the Shatuo people?" Cui Shang understood what Jiang Feng meant.

"Well, there was no fighting, there was no peace, the Khitans really went south, and they had to be given a sense of crisis. Jiang Feng sighed, "Bai Ling, Gu feels that he may not be able to drag it out, so Gu has to plan for the worst." ”

"What's the worst-case scenario?" Cui Shang's heart trembled.

"The Khitans went south, the Shatuo people and we started an all-out war, Yang Wenchang took the opportunity to advance eastward, and the triple risk broke out at the same time. Jiang Feng said in a gloomy voice: "I have a hunch that we went too smoothly in the early stage, maybe this will be the most difficult period for us in the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Cui Shang gasped, and Li Jin next to him also turned pale, "King, how is it possible?"

"Nothing is impossible, Li Cunhou and Feng Dao are not fools, they can't see the crisis that the Khitans face in the Great Song Dynasty once they go south, this time may be the best time for them to expand in the Central Plains, once the Shatuo people do their best to launch a war, we will confront the Khitans in Hebei in the north, and the Central Plains will confront the Shatuo people, do you think Yang Wenchang will let go of such an opportunity?"

After being said by Jiang Feng, Cui Shang was also shocked, and he was terrified after thinking about it.

This possibility really exists, if the Shatuo people really want to take advantage of the outbreak of the war between Heshuo and the Khitans to provoke the battle of the Central Plains, I am afraid that the situation will suddenly become dangerous, Yang Wenchang feels that there is an opportunity, but he is afraid that it will really pounce.

Seeing Cui Shang's pale face, Jiang Feng knew that he was afraid that the other party also realized how likely this was to be.

This is almost a link, at first glance it seems impossible, but once the Khitan people move south, and their own side is not able to deal with it effectively, forming a stalemate or unfavorable to their own side, it is very likely that the Nashatuo people will enter the line of Song Pucao.

They would not fail to consider the threat of the Khitans, but they might think that by taking advantage of the confrontation between the Song army and the Khitans, they would have the advantage of confronting the Khitans by swallowing the Central Plains in one fell swoop.

"Then the king, how should we deal with it?" Cui Shang was also a little confused, and when he saw Jiang Feng's calm and profound gaze, he calmed down, "King, the key is still in Heshuo, as long as we can defeat the Khitans, the Shatuo people will not dare to act rashly!"

"Well, Bai Ling, you have also seen this, the Shatuo people are also soft and afraid of evil, and Yang Wenchang is even more so, so if they realize that biting on us will only break their teeth, they will not dare to do it easily, so they will think that it is better to do it to others. Jiang Feng stood up and put his hands behind his back, "So Gu is ready to take the Ya Army, the Tianping Army, the Heshuo Army, and the Ziqing Army to conquer Heshuo in person!"

Cui Shang calculated, if the Ya Army, Tianping Army, Heshuo Army, and Ziqing Army went north, then only the Xuanwu Army and the Wuning Army would be left in the Central Plains, adding up to only 60,000 people, compared with the strength of the Shatuo people stationed in the Central Plains, the strength of Jianghuai is also very thin, Huaizuo Town Chai Yong needs to deter Wu Yue, and Huaiyou Town still has to defend Yingbo, even if Liu Xuan's army is added, it may not be able to resist the ambitious Shannan Army.

"Bai Ling, Lone knows what you're worried about, yes, the Central Plains and Jianghuai are both weak in force, but this doesn't matter, the Shatuo people will not attack when the situation in Heshuo has not yet appeared, at most it is some temptation, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, Yang Wenchang will sit and watch the situation change, as long as Lone can defeat the Khitan spirit in Heshuo, the Central Plains Jianghuai will be extremely safe. ”

The more Jiang Feng thought about it, the clearer his thoughts became, "Of course, we can't let the Shatuo people and Shannan be too idle, the Xiao family in Xiangyang, the Huang Du family, and the party people and the Ganzhou Uighurs. ”

Continue to push a book, I think it's a good history class, writing about the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the late Northern and Southern Dynasties, "Against the Current", the front is a bit stiff, but the middle section is getting better, and the history cultivation class can be seen.
