The distant Northeast is colder.

Now the Liao Kingdom Shangjing City is also shrouded in dark clouds, and it is terrifyingly quiet for a moment.

This is an illusion. Even if he personally operated Kou Laoxier of the Chanyuan Alliance, he would not dare to say that he was not afraid of the Liao cavalry. He actually lost the following after Sima Guang's joint statement. The Song army was delayed from evacuating Hehuang area?

This is not giving face to the Liao Kingdom! The last time I did something like this, it was because Old Man Fu Bi refused to marry Emperor Fu Kang to the royal family of the Liao Kingdom.

But just as the Liao court was indignant and threatened to respond to the two-faced Song State, the magical achievements of the Song State Volunteer Army came from the far west again: Wang Yun used only 2,500 Funing Army, black technology fire dragons, and defeated the trunk thorny corps in the Minhe area, and wiped out the Nantong Secret Corps at the Junkoukou in Tonghuang area.

Moreover, they accidentally "scared" Zhuo Luolan's troops back seventy miles, successfully joined forces with the guerrillas of Yusilu, and successfully joined forces with the 20,000 Jishi Army.

Seeing that the State of Song was basically not losing this war, news came out that Manme had blood-dunked Xining Prefecture. Liao was shocked, and Zhu teammate Manme made such a stupid mistake, which caused hatred in the world.

This is equivalent to a slap in the face, giving the Song army sufficient reason for continuing to exist in Hehuang's military, and at the same time, it also gave Liao Kingdom no longer a reason to ask the Song Kingdom to withdraw its troops.

At that time, Sima Guang, the Western Xia, and the three-party talks between Xiao Hui, the political affairs officer of the Liao Dynasty, became a piece of nonsense.

In the great dynasty, Yelu Hongji's face looked ugly. Although he also claimed to be righteous Hongji, he was the ruler of a country after all and had to plan for the interests of the Liao Kingdom. Once the Song army fully occupied Hehuang, the strength and depth of the Song Kingdom were greatly strengthened. Although it was not a nightmare for the Liao Kingdom, it was definitely an event that affected its interests and national character.

"After all, responding cannot allow Song State to easily occupy Hehuang's interests."

Yelu Hongji stood up and issued the first imperial edict since he ascended the throne: "Xiao Hui, the Northern Government, immediately visited the State of Song to convey my will. In addition, Xiao Yanshan led the right command of Shan's army to go out to Shangjing. As for the ancient Great Wall after Zhongjing Road, he was stationed in Nanjing, our Great Liao Dynasty, and waited for the changes."

Xiao Yanshan changed her face slightly, "Your Majesty... Nanjing is only a river away from the Song and Liao buffer zone, and it is only a few days away from Hejian Prefecture and Zhending Prefecture, a major border defense city in Song State. In this time when it is not conducive to marching and fighting, it will be a bit misunderstanding when it is too close to the Song State..."

Yelu Hongji interrupted: "I have not said that I would go to war, but I still took a diplomatic line. The right command of the Shan Army was deployed in Nanjing. This is just an adjustment of the internal defense of our Liao Dynasty. Outsiders have no right to say anything. How to understand love is the matter of the State of Song."

Xiao Yanshan said: "Even if the defense is adjusted and replaced, it will generally bypass the severe cold in winter. There will be a diplomatic document notification. Unless Your Majesty's big tent patrolls Nanjing, there is generally no precedent for the Shan army to replace the border between Song and Liao. This is a tacit understanding formed after the Chanyuan Alliance. If multiple of the above tacit understandings are easily subverted, I am worried that it will arouse suspicion and taboos from the Song State."

"This is my purpose! In addition, we must hurry up and develop our own flintlock rifle. Our thoughts and remarks that are worse than buying are better than buying in our government and the country, and we must suppress them!"

After Yelu Hongji finished speaking, he left on his own and left the court.

The reserved Liao ministers couldn't help but look at each other.

Xiao Hui, the deputy general manager, approached Yelu Chongyuan cautiously and said, "I thought it was a joke at first, but after trying it, I realized that it was very difficult. It was inconspicuous, cost-effective and inefficient. At least some finished products in Xixia can be produced at no cost, but I worked hard for two months but got nothing. Is it really good to make it yourself?"

Yelu Chongyuan whispered: "Just listen to him, of course, it is better to buy it than to buy it. It is best to rent it if you can. In the early flintlock transactions, Xiao Yanshan's turtle son didn't know how much kickbacks he had taken from Song State. The guns he bought were of good quality and cheap, convenient and fast, and had good kickbacks. You must make the best efforts to maintain the trade between the Great Liao and Song State and sign more orders. Believe me, the Song and Liao cannot fight. At most, they can blackmail them a little money. The Liao State is no longer the Liao State that he was back then. Now few people are willing to go to war with the Song people."

...

On December 20, this moment of the upcoming New Year was not at all festive. The military newspapers coming from the two routes of Hebei were equivalent to sounding the alarm bell for the Song Dynasty. There was news that as early as early December, the Right Command of the Shan Army, one of the elite Liao Kingdom, had already gone out to Beijing under the leadership of Xiao Yanshan, who was known as the number one warrior of the Liao Kingdom, and deployed to the south.

This is the information collected by several intelligence outlets of the State of Song. As for what the army planned to move south, no one knew. For a moment, there were many different opinions on this from the government and the country.

No matter what, this is definitely not a good thing, at least it is the display of the military muscles of the Liao Kingdom.

The Liao Kingdom is known as more than one million soldiers, but it is well known that the second echelon from the other tribes will always be the second echelon. Only the Shan army from the Shulu family and the Pishi army of the Yelu family, which is about 400,000 iron cavalry, are the real family of the Liao Kingdom.

Later, the Shulu family changed its surname to Xiao, Pishi Army and Shan Army, which are the real royal family and the guards of the Hou tribe.

The 100,000 Shanmen army went out to Beijing to move south in this severe cold that was not suitable for marching. This is by no means an ordinary deployment, and it is by no means a general defense change.

There are too many places that can make people guess, which is enough to shock the whole country of Song Dynasty!

Zhao Zhen, who had been afraid of Liao, was frightened by the illness and almost clotting his blood. However, Prime Minister Fu Bi and Privy Councilor Han Qi failed to make a good judgment on the Liao Kingdom's actions.

I really can't see whether the Liao Kingdom has been here to blackmail Song from Hehuang or whether it really wants to have some intentions for the rising Song Kingdom.

Han Qi said it was useless to worry, so he waited for the change. Because there was also news that the Liao Kingdom also sent Xiao Hui, the governor of the Northern Prefecture, as an envoy, to be on his way to Bianjing and planned to negotiate.

Regarding Xiao Hui's diplomacy, Fu Bi's interpretation is not as optimistic as Han Qi. Fu Bi personally said to the emperor in the Shangqing Palace: "Xiao Hui is now unknown, but in the early days, he obviously had the same gang as Yelu Chongyuan and Xiao Xiaomu, which was equivalent to being incompatible with Yelu Hongji. Even if Yelu Hongji has ascended the throne, it is impossible to say that Yelu Hongji trusts Xiao Hui. In this case, the 100,000 Shan army had already issued news of diplomacy before the sending of the people sent was someone that the Liao emperor did not trust. So I believe that diplomacy is a cover, which means that the Liao emperor has no sincerity at all. I am afraid he really has the intention to plan my border area."

As a result, Lao Zhao was even more frightened, and Fu Bi's interpretation made some sense.

If it was replaced by confidant Xiao Yanshan, who was in charge of diplomacy and the famous general Xiao Hui led the army, it would be the same as the Liao emperor mainly wanted to scare and blackmail, and diplomatic methods were real and military was false.

But in this Shangqing Palace, did you respond to the request of the Liao Kingdom: to withdraw troops from Hehuang immediately to calm the anger of the Liao Kingdom's hegemony? Han Qi still did not chew on this.

The visible interests of Hehuang are not far away. It is now a heavy snow blockade that is not conducive to combat, but Zhuo Luolan's troops have evacuated in advance, and Wang Rong's strength has been expanded. A truly dominant victory should be in the spring next year, at most summer.

"If the volunteers are put under pressure at this time and demanding that they withdraw their troops, it will not only mean that the Song Dynasty cannot straighten its waist, but also make allies feel heartbroken." Han Qi suggested: "After the indomitable tragedy in Xining Prefecture, if the Song Dynasty withdraws its troops at this time, there will be no justice anymore. This is not the act of a responsible great power."

What Han Qi said was indeed what Zhao Zhen thought.

Over the past few decades, Zhao Zhen finally felt a glimmer of hope for the rise of a great power, felt the joy of successive reports, and the concept of weak Song was disappearing. So if he was really afraid of the pressure of the Liao Kingdom and was about to win the war, the efforts he made would be in vain.

This is equivalent to a person kneeling on the ground, who was halfway up and was suppressed by external force to kneel down. This is even more hurtful than not being able to get up.

As for this, Lao Zhao did not make a statement in time. He listened to Han Qi's suggestions to continue waiting and watching. He had only one urgent idea in his heart: I hope the prodigy will become more and must completely win the Hehuang War before the Liao Kingdom further attacks.

If this can be done, the pressure of the Liao Kingdom will be destroyed without any attack.
