Therefore, the current situation is that the Jin State is afraid of the Northwest Army of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Shuo stood on the position of the Northwest Army, and he was also afraid of the Jin State.

What he was most worried about was that the Jin Congress would be desperate to support the restoration of the northwest.

In that case, Zhao Shuo would have to be tired of coping.

However, such a tragic sacrifice has also brought about a new situation.

That is, the Jin Kingdom, who is ambitious and talented, will definitely not dare to underestimate the Great Song Dynasty like before.

In order to better find opportunities, they will send people to secretly test the situation of the Song Dynasty as Zhao Shuo judged.

This is also the reason why Zhao Shuo sent troops to Chen Xinghan and Zong Ze with great fanfare.

That's right, Zhao Shuo did this to show Jin Guo.

Let them know that Da Song is very strong, not only strong, but also yelling like a mad dog to continue to work with Jin Guo!!

This can be regarded as a strategic means for Zhao Shuo to help Chen Xinghan in the northwest.

After all, Chen Xinghan is having a hard time now.

He's really hard.

Before the arrival of last winter, Zhao Shuo gave Chen Xinghan an army of 500,000 prepared in the northwest.

After losing more than 300,000 yuan and running to the wounded, he no longer had many troops in his hands.

And with the Zeng soldiers who finished Yan Fu, Chen Xinghan also recruited a group of civilian volunteers in the name of the commander of the Northwest Army.

At this stage, the number of troops under his command is only about 120,000.

It is also necessary to set aside 50,000 people to guard the border to prevent any changes in Western Xia.

The remaining 70,000 people confronted the 60,000 or 70,000 people who had finished Yan Fu.

The two sides are in constant friction 24 hours a day.

At the end of the day, each disposed of hundreds of corpses.

Therefore, Zhao Shuo's increase in troops to Chen Xinghan was a great drought and a rain.

The main reason for Chen Xinghan's casualties was twice that of the Jin army.

Zhao Shuo also found it today!

Some people fled from the battle, which directly led to Chen Xinghan's left flank being broken through by Wanyanfu's iron cavalry.

In order to prevent the collapse of the whole army, Chen Xinghan had to give up the safety of the front army and personally led the rear army to supplement the left flank defense line.

This sets off a chain reaction.

This time, Chen Xinghan's recital also included an impeachment document.

Who to impeach?

Impeachment of Wang Zongmin, the prime minister of the Northwest Economic Strategy.

Chen Xinghan's meaning was very clear, and he directly cut Wang Zongmin to set an example.

However, although Chen Xinghan wanted to do that, he was not qualified to cut Wang Zongmin, who was the prime minister of the Northwest Economic Strategy.

shoulders the military and political affairs of the northwest.

If Chen Xinghan wants to fight, he must also eat the grain, grass and military pay that he coordinates and transports.

Therefore, how to govern Wang Zongmin, Chen Xinghan can't be the master, so he has to refer to Zhao Shuo's meaning.

Zhao Shuo naturally had his plans.

What to do?

Of course, it is to deprive the military of its position, and then to kill it on a large scale.

In addition, Chen Xinghan also talked about the situation in Western Xia in detail.

Wan Yanfu, the general of the Jin State, who was fighting fiercely in the northwest, sent people to meet with the king of Western Xia several times.

They were eager to reach a strategic cooperation with the Tanguts and urge the Tangut to use troops against the Song Dynasty.

Chen Xinghan also sent some gifts to Brother Richard.

He has always carried out the instructions given to him by Zhao Shuo in his dealings with Brother Richard.

That is, he didn't mention fighting and killing with Brother Richard, but talked about human feelings and sophistication, and discussed the business of making money together.

Richard was able to rely on the huge consumer market of the Song Dynasty to clear his reserves of green salt.

Every day, tens of thousands of taels of silver are credited to the account.

At this time, of course, he hates to be talked to about military issues with him.

Therefore, he almost became the biggest obstacle for the king of Western Xia to send troops.

But Richard couldn't stop it for long.

Because Brother Richard in Xixia still can't do what he says.

Gu Zewei, the civilian leader in charge of internal affairs, is Richard's political opponent.

Brother Richard was close to the Song Dynasty, so Gu Zewei would naturally be close to the Jin Kingdom.

After Gu Zehui saw the various conditions that Yan Fukai had come up with, he repeatedly urged the monarch to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty.

Naturally, he coveted a large area of land in the northwest of the Song Dynasty.

For this reason, Brother Richard and Gu Zewei argued in the court.

In the end, the monarch asked the other officials for their opinions, and everyone was in favor of Richard.

The reason is simple, because Richard can take them to make money.

The officials of the Western Xia were actually no different from the officials of the Song Dynasty.

They are not high at all.

It doesn't matter to them what the National Development City is, as long as they can get the benefits.

To be exact, they are businessmen, which is very appropriate.

In addition, the Song Dynasty was able to provide them with exquisite Jingdezhen celadon and light silk satin.

In this way, everyone naturally falls under Richard's interest group.

Therefore, the monarch of the Western Xia Kingdom had no choice but to treat the temptation thrown by the Jin Kingdom as a snake.

Let Wanyan Fu work hard.

Li Qianshun also did not give an accurate answer to Wanyan Fu because of the pressure of the pro-Song officials who were the main station of internal affairs.

Naturally, he won't send a single soldier to Wan Yanfu.

This is the reason why Zhao Shuo sent Sun Fu to Western Xia to bribe Brother Richard before starting this Song-Jin War.

For Zhao Shuo, give Xixia silk and satin in exchange for the green salt of Xixia.

Richard did make a lot of money, but the Song Dynasty also got the strategic salt mines he wanted.

Then Brother Richard will definitely not support the Western Xia war against the Song.

Because war is a Pandora's box.

Once opened, the business channels that he had already spread out in the Song Dynasty and were being rolled out in a big way would be forced to be interrupted.

There will be no more opportunities to make a lot of money even in the future.

So, Brother Richard was dealt with.

That Xixia was indirectly dealt with by Zhao Shuo.

This is what Zhao Shuo values most on the Northwest Front.

Because Western Xia is a sharp sword above the heads of the Song Dynasty and the Jin State at this moment.

Now the Song Dynasty's troops in the northwest region are actually strong from outside.

It is all supported by a fighting spirit that does not admit defeat.

If the Western Xia army went south, then the northwest army of the Song Dynasty would not be able to come with sticky Han and Wushu at all.

As long as the Western Xia unites to complete Yan Fu, it can be easily occupied.

If such a thing happens, the northwest of the Song Dynasty will completely fall!

Once the northwest is lost, Bianliang City and the hinterland of the Central Plains will have no danger to defend.

Zong Ze in Hedong and Li Gang and Zhang Shuye in Shandong and Cangzhou were completely reduced to lonely soldiers outside.

At this time, Zhao Shuo most hoped that Song and Jin could stop the war.

Even if the two sides strike for only a few months.

At least let Da Song take a breath.

Zhao Shuo understood that the Great Song Dynasty could no longer withstand the pressure of the army.

This time, he drove his own expedition, and the most sophisticated forbidden army of the Song Dynasty lost more than 10,000 people.

Chen Xinghan's Northwest Army was also crippled, and the entire Central Plains was barren and had no vitality at all.

There was no army to defend on the Lianghuai side.

But Jin Guo is completely different.
