The emperor was furious.

The strategy of Xia-controlling strategies mentioned by Zhong Shidao is similar to what Sima Guang had discussed in the past. Sima Guang was the leader of Yuanyou Party, and Zhong Shidao was also listed as the Yuanyou Party. If the emperor had not named it himself, Zhong Shidao would not have had a chance to make a name. Who knew that this old man was ignorant of praise and spoke wildly, not only criticizing Tong Guan, but also Liu Fa and others were greedy for establishing border achievements, but even had objections to the court's highest decision.

The emperor originally wanted to promote him to the junior guard of the procuratorate and ranked third in the third duke. Now, he was furious and was renamed "Guojing Army Jiedushi, Jingyuan Road Rule Pacifier, and Weizhou".

It is obvious that it is an upward trend and abdication in secret, called the "Guiding and Pacifying Envoy", but the elite soldiers under his subordinates have been transferred by Tong Guan, leaving only the old and weak soldiers to defend the city and the hinterland, hoping to kill the deadly attack.

Liu Fa refused to attack by using the excuse of the fact that the lonely army was a taboo in military strategists. Tong Guan was furious and threatened with military discipline. Liu Fa had no choice but to fight, but his entire army was wiped out. Liu Fa was killed in this battle. He led 20,000 elite cavalry and was one of the most elite imperial guards of the Song army. Now he has no return in armor. The support troops are frightened and collapsed without fighting. Most of the civilians were captured by the enemy. The Song army lost more than 100,000 elite soldiers, and all military supplies were lost.

The defeat on the battlefield in the northwest hit the emperor with a heavy blow. For this reason, he had to give up his ambition temporarily and sent people to recover the envoys who were envoys to the Jin Kingdom and took back the edict, which made the court feel relieved. Cai Jing and others still had to persuade them, but the emperor blocked their mouths with one sentence, "Don't do anything in the north, and the ancestors swear together, and it is oath to violate it."

Cai Jing and a group of ministers in charge of the War Department had no choice but to make an alliance with Jin immediately put on hold. He worked hard to reverse the situation on the northwest battlefield.

In April, Tong Guan commanded Yan, and the two armies of Huanqing defeated the Xixia army and pacified the three cities.

In May, the Northwest Army defeated the Xia people again and the Zhenwu army broke the siege of Zhenwu.

In early June, the Xixia army was unsustainable, and the Song army was exhausted and unable to fight again. In this case, Xixia sent envoys to discuss peace again, and the Song Dynasty finally agreed. The war did weaken the Xia army. Forced the Xia army to send envoys to discuss peace, but the Song Dynasty's strength was also weakened. Of course, as far as the national strength of the Song Dynasty was concerned, this consumption was completely bearable.

However, the situation in the northwest has therefore emerged. Reading at Zero Point

At the beginning of the year, the battle of Tong'an was held. Liu Fa, a famous general in the northwest, was killed, and most of the elite troops in the northwest were damaged, and his vitality was severely damaged. This directly led to the disarray of the morale of the Northwest Army and the military discipline. The soldiers often escaped at the last minute, and even lost more than half of them. Tong Guan did not dare to strictly marching the military law, and those who were allowed to escape could still return to the team in order to maintain a certain number of troops. Since soldiers and generals were allowed to enter and exit the military camps freely, it was not like the army. Now, the government warehouses of the two routes of Hedong in Shaanxi and Hedong are empty and the urban and rural areas are depressed. The husband's soldiers have repeatedly conquered but rarely survived. The farmland is deserted and the miserable terror is everywhere.

Cai Jing and Tong Guan and other gangs of war-leading ministers felt that the war in the Northwest was difficult to continue and could only give up peace talks. However, they believed that the purpose of weakening the military power of the Western Xia was achieved. At this moment, the Song Dynasty had the conditions to recover Yan Yun. As long as the Song army did not have the danger of fighting on both sides, the whole country would attack Yan Yun. It would be foolproof.

However, because the Liao and Jin countries may negotiate peace at any time, the Song Dynasty attacked Yan Yun. It may encounter joint attacks between the Liao and Jin countries, and the strategy of pacifying Yan will encounter difficulties again.

The emperor was hesitant and did not dare to start the war in Hebei lightly. However, at this moment, Li Hu and the Liaodong Rebel Army appeared. It was very big. Listen to the opinions of this place and look at the memorial. The man said that the man was right, and the woman said that the woman was right. After listening to him too much and reading too much, the emperor was lost. He suspected that his decision was incorrect, which might have damaged the country's destiny, so he wandered and couldn't make up his mind.

The appearance of Li Hu and the Liaodong Rebel Army made the emperor's eyes lit up and suddenly opened.

The resistance of the alliance with Jin to attack Liao was too great. One was for realistic considerations, and the other was for moral considerations. He secretly recruited Li Hu and the Liaodong rebel army, using the power of the Han Dynasty to further promote the development of the situation in Liaodong in a direction that was conducive to the Song Dynasty. There is neither the reality nor the morality, but it can also achieve the goal of pacifying Yan. Where can I find such a good thing?

Why don't you think about reality?

What is the reality of the Song Dynasty? Although the Song Dynasty has strong national strength, the Song and Liao Dynasty maintained peace for more than 100 years. The border troops of the two countries have been cleared for a long time, and the Hebei stationed troops are still dead. In order to reorganize the Hebei military, it takes time to launch the Hebei War. The first year ago, a once-in-a-thousand-year flood broke out in Hebei, and the Yellow River was diverted, millions of people were displaced, and millions were displaced. Then last year, the Jiang, Huai, Jing, Zhejiang and other routes suffered another major flood, with a population of 10 million. The Song Dynasty suffered heavy damage, pacifying refugees, rebuilding their homes, and rectifying rivers and canals. This also takes time.

These most realistic problems lie in front of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty, telling them that it is not appropriate to launch the Northern Expedition, and even if it is necessary to fight, the current time is very inappropriate.

With Li Hu and the Liaodong Rebel Army, it is different. The Song Dynasty did not have to do it by itself. As long as it was secretly provided assistance to help Li Hu and the Liaodong Rebel Army attack Yan Yun, it could be achieved overnight when the time was right. For the Song Dynasty, the most important thing was money. If all the problems that may arise now and in the future, such as the problems of the feudal states requested by Li Hu, etc., then this discussion would definitely be recognized by the foreign court.

Moral problems were solved immediately.

First of all, the Song Dynasty did not break the alliance and broke the contract, and still maintained an ally with the Khitans. Secondly, although the Song people did not agree with the Han people in Liaodong, they believed that they were the Han people who became transcendent and called them Han captives, there was one thing they had to admit that the Han people in Liaodong and the Chinese people in Song Dynasty had the same roots and origins, and it would not be possible even if they did not admit it. The Han people in Liaodong yearned for the Celestial Empire and wanted to return to the Celestial Empire and were willing to charge for the Song Dynasty. So what reason did the Song Dynasty have to keep them out? This is also a moral consideration. Everyone has the same origin. The Song Dynasty abandoned them more than a hundred years ago. Now they have to return with their own strength. What reason does the Song Dynasty turn a blind eye and ignore it?

Since there is no reason to refuse the return of the Han captains and it is difficult to betray the land agreement with the Khitans, then there is only one who secretly supports them and lets them bite their dogs. When both sides suffer losses, their hometown will be fully in their pockets, so that the strategy of pacifying the Yan can be achieved without any effort.

Zhao Liangsi finished speaking.

Huang She had to ponder.

Zhao Liangsi's words revolve around Pingyan Ce. There are two key points in Pingyan Ce, one is to join the Jin Dynasty to attack Liao, and the other is to pacify Xixia. Now that the alliance with the Jin Dynasty to attack Liao was "strapped", the pacifying Xixia was also abandoned halfway. With realistic considerations and moral thinking, it is reasonable to put the plan to pacify Yan indefinitely.

However, Ma Kuo's trip to Liaodong brought Li Hu and Liaodong rebels to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, which once again aroused the emperor's ambition to regain his hometown. It only needed to change the strategy of pacifying Yan. From Zhao Liangsi's account, Huang She could deeply feel the mentality of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and a group of ministers in the war-leaders. They had a long-cherished wish to regain their hometown and the dream of making achievements. Because of the Chanyuan Alliance, they had a strong sense of humiliation, and they could not bear this shame, and they wanted to abolish the shame; but because of realistic considerations and moral thinking, they were afraid of failure, they wanted to get something for nothing, and they wanted to get a bargain.

This contradictory and painful mentality tortures them day and night, and they are desperate and depressed whenever they are setbacks, and ambitious whenever they are at odds.

From this, it is definitely not a problem for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to accept Li Hu and the Liaodong Rebel Army, but the key is that Li Hu and the Liaodong Rebel Army not only hope to be accepted by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, but also hope to be supported by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty for a long time and persistent support. But now it seems that this is impossible.

The mentality of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and his ministers determined their style of doing things, which was to be eager for quick success and instant benefits. In other words, if I give you assistance, you must give me the results, otherwise they will be disappointed, despair, and give up.

Huang She thought for a moment and decided to solve the problem in front of her first. The rebel army urgently needed money, food and weapons. These things were limited by sea and were not available, and they were even more distant from farming and self-production. They had to be obtained from the Song Dynasty. According to Li Hu, they were just making a fuss. Now the promises that the rebel army could give to the Song Dynasty were empty and they were all nonsense. To put it bluntly, it was a fraud. The amount of money they could cheat was calculated as much as they could, so they had to make the promises high and make the Emperor of Song happy. As for the current mentality of the Emperor of Song Dynasty, it was particularly easy to cheat and easy to take the bait.

Huang She felt confident and asked: "If the ministers in the court strongly object, how confident are they?"
