Chapter 1097 The beginning of the storm (1)

"Yes!"

Zhao Dongting suddenly looked up.

Several swordsmen killed the Yuan army soldiers!

This made him believe that it was the move of Pojun Academy.

Several swordsmen were able to kill the Yuan army soldiers, but they did not kill Xie Daoqing and others. This was obviously done deliberately.

In a trance, he suddenly understood Duan Qilin or Pojun Academy's intention.

Killing Zhao Xian and leaving Xie Daoqing and others is to completely force Xie Daoqing and others to the opposite side of their own. It can also make Xie Daoqing and others suspect that they are doing it themselves.

And their real intention is...

Only then did Zhao Dongting realize that he had missed a person. This person was Zhao Bing who fled to Shu.

There is an abnormal movement in Shu...

Duan Qilin had already proclaimed himself emperor in Dali, so it was impossible for him to openly command the White Horse Army in Shu. Because that would reveal the disguise of the White Horse Army, which was nominally still considered the Song army, was exposed.

Given the current national conditions of the Song Dynasty, if the White Horse Army in Shu surrendered, the public opinion alone would give Duan Qilin a great headache.

But if Zhao Bing was in charge of Shu, it would be completely different.

He is the prince of the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, Zhao Dongting forced him to flee to Shu before, but now Zhao Xian is assassinated again. This gives Zhao Bing enough reason to be king in Shu.

Just pour the dirty water that assassinated Zhao Xian onto Zhao Dongting.

Even Zhao Bing can be said that when the Song army attacked Yongzhou, Zhao Dongting deliberately persecuted him.

Killing two brothers at the same time makes people even more suspicious of Zhao Dongting's nature.

Zhao Bing, who became king under such public opinion, may be supported by many people. At that time, Shu will be able to naturally leave the Song Dynasty.

To be precise, it was the Song Dynasty under the charge of Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting, who suddenly realized, had a deep understanding, and his face gradually became solemn in the puzzled eyes of Wang Wenfu and others.

Things may be even more serious than expected.

"emperor……"

Wang Wenfu shouted softly.

Zhao Dongting came back to his senses, but said, "Don't investigate the assassination of Emperor Gong. Lord Wang, Senior Hong, Senior Xu, you go down and rest first!"

Then he looked at Zhu Hecong and said, "Hecong, you will immediately go and take Lord Lu of the State Council, Lord Chen, Secretary Chen, Deputy Military Ling Su, Minister Zhang of the Ministry of War, Minister Gao of the Ministry of Social Security, Minister Gao of the Ministry of Military Industry, Minister Li of the Ministry of Military Science, and Minister Xu of the Ministry of Military Science and Technology Xuanlai."

Zhu Hecong agreed repeatedly and walked out of the house.

Wang Wenfu looked at Zhao Dongting like this and was puzzled, "Master, what big thing happened?"

Zhao Dongting said solemnly: "The war may arise."

As he said that he thought of something, he said, "Mr. Wang, after you leave, go and meet with Zhang's Supervisor Order. There may be a storm in the court recently. I have asked the Military Information Department to investigate secretly. If someone in the court wants to cause trouble, as long as there are signs of it, I will take your Law and Supervisors first and then report it. At this moment, there will be no chaos within the court."

Wang Wenfu was moved and stopped asking, "The old minister received the order."

Then he immediately walked out of the imperial study with Hong Wutian and Mrs. Xu.

There are some things that you don’t need to ask Zhao Dongting. If you ask Zhang Shijie and others, you can get the answer.

"Look at the sea, come with the pen and ink and map."

As soon as they left, Zhao Dongting asked Zhu Haiwang to take the Bimo map over.

The map is a map of the Song, Li, Xixia, Yuan Dynasty and several surrounding countries. Of course, it is just a very simple map, and it is impossible to draw too detailed maps in this era.

Zhao Dongting wrote and painted on the map.

His mind was filled with thoughts.

If Zhao Bing became king and joined forces with the Shu that Yue Peng mentioned, it is expected that Zhao Bing would most likely attack Song after becoming king.

Zhao Bing had just arrived in Shu, and with his means, it was unlikely that he would seize Duan Qilin's power. In other words, the person who really wanted to attack Song was actually Duan Qilin.

In this way, if a large army arose in Shu, Dali will definitely not wait and see. War will arise in the west of the Song Dynasty.

As for the Yuan Dynasty...

There should be no reason for Pojun Academy to know so accurately about Xie Daoqing, Zhao Xian and others' path back to Song.

But Zhao Xian died most likely at the hands of Taki Yu.

This means that it is possible that Duan Qilin and Kublai Khan are working together to act. This play is building momentum for attacking Song.

In this way, the Yuan Dynasty might also tear up the agreement to attack the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty was truly enemies on all sides.

Even with more than 200,000 imperial guards in the four major military regions, Zhao Dongting still felt it was difficult. If it was as he had guessed, the four major military regions might not be able to stop the Yuan Dynasty and the coalition forces.

More importantly, the current national strength of the Song Dynasty was difficult to support the wars against Dali, Shu and Yuan dynasties at the same time.

The pressure is too great.

Food and grass alone are difficult to transport.

Moreover, the border between the Song Dynasty is so long that the Yuan Dynasty and the Chinese army are likely to take advantage of the situation. It will be even more chaotic at that time.

Therefore, Zhao Dongting must first defeat one of the parties. It is either Yuan, Dali, or Shuzhong.

The Yuan Dynasty was the most powerful, and it was not so easy to defeat it, so you could only choose one between Dali or Shu.

So, should we focus on dealing with Shuzhong first, or should we deal with Dali first?

Zhao Dongting wrote and painted on the map for a long time.

Finally, four words were rewritten on the map, "Anti-Yuan-Destroy Shu!"

To resist the Yuan Dynasty, we must first adopt a defensive force against the Yuan Dynasty.

To destroy Shu, we will first destroy Shu.

Because, Shu has the smallest territory and the weakest strength.

Moreover, in the north of Shu, Xixia could send troops to help at any time. Although, Li Xiushu, the uncontrollable woman, actually said that she would leave her fate.

As long as Shu was destroyed, the Zhenxi Military Region and Zhennan Military Region of the Song Dynasty could work together to resist Dali. Even the Xixia could help.

At that time, maybe they can destroy Dali.

In the north, more than 100,000 imperial guards in Zhenbei Military Region and Fujian Military Region should be able to block the Yuan army.

Zhao Dongting looked at the four words on the paper and whispered to himself, "It's this strategic policy..."

He sniffed the air deeply, as if there was a smell of gunpowder!

After about a few dozen minutes, Lu Xiufu, Chen Jianghan and others asked for a visit outside the imperial study room.

Then, with Zhao Dongting's approval, nearly ten people entered in a row.

Zhao Dongting looked a little solemn, but he just let them sit down, and then asked, "Everyone, how are you preparing for the war?"

Everyone spoke one after another.

Chen Jianghan said: "Your Majesty, I have ordered the treasurys of various places to collect food and grass. After a few days, I can transport them to major military regions and garrison military regions in batches."
