Kaide Mansion.

The original government office, now the deputy marshal's mansion.

After Zong Ze invited Zhao Gou to sit down, he said, "Has it been confirmed that the King of Liaodong sent troops?"

Wang Boyan said: "Not only is Deputy Marshal Zong performing his duties as Deputy Marshal, but I have not slack off either. I have received accurate information that [-] to [-] Liangshan troops landed from Dengzhou on December [-]th. They told everyone that on December [-]th this Liangshan army crossed the Jiaolai River and marched towards Qingzhou, and on December [-]th they reached Jingxi West Road. It will arrive at Kaide Mansion."

Huang Qianshan added: "Before we set off, the people had already learned that the Liangshan army had come to take advantage of the fire, and they flocked to West Jingxi Road to meet the Liangshan army."

Speaking of this, Huang Qianshan said with grief and indignation: "Your Majesty works day and night for the affairs of the state, and the people don't want to abandon His Majesty to welcome the King of Liaodong!"

Wang Boyan said: "Sooner or later, the public will know who is orthodox. The most urgent thing is that we should think about the countermeasures. At this critical moment, we must deal with it properly, otherwise there may be The 200-year-old country of the Great Song Dynasty."

Geng Yanxi thought for a while and said, "How about a plan to drive away the tigers and devour the wolves?"

After the establishment of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, Zhao Gou appointed Geng Yanxi and Gao Shize as counselors; Zhang Kui, a direct scholar of Huiyou Pavilion, was transferred to the capital of Hebei, and Huang Qianshan, a deputy envoy of Jingdong, who was transferred to Zhilongtu Pavilion, was the deputy to the army; Huiyou Pavilion knew Xinde Yang Zu of Fuliang was the military envoy; Yang Yuan, Wang Qizhi, and Qin Baixiang were responsible for official affairs; Lan Yu, Kang Lu, Li Yi, Yang Gongshu, and Han Gongyi were in charge of confidential documents; Wu Xian's doctor Chen Cui was the commander-in-chief's mansion The capital is under the command; Wu Junbing Ma Dun, Wulang, Zhao Jun, etc. are under the control of the middle army; Yizan doctor Liu Hao is under the control of the former army; Wu Xianlang Zhang Qiong is under the control of the left army; Xiu Wulang Shang Gongxu is under the control of the right army; Guozhou governor Wang Xiaosi is under the control of the rear system.

These people are also the basic team of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Everyone looked at Geng Yanxi, wanting him to explain in detail how to drive away tigers and wolves?

Geng Yanxi didn't actually think about how to drive away the tigers and wolves, so, seeing that everyone was looking at him, he could only bite the bullet and said: "Can we find a way to make the Jin army and the Liangshan army fight, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

Gao Shi shook his head and said, "The King of Liaodong came here without announcement, and he probably has a tacit understanding with the gold thief. I dare to guess, is it possible that the gold thief and the king of Liaodong are planning to join forces to destroy our Great Song Dynasty?"

Gao Shize's conjecture made everyone's face very ugly!

Zhang Que said: "We can't scare ourselves. The king of Liaodong has always paid attention to righteousness. In the past, in order to prevent the Han people from killing each other and benefiting from the Hu people and fishermen, the king of Liaodong handed over Yanyun to our Song Dynasty and accepted the emperor's removal of the title." The King of Liaodong later sent troops to seize the Liaodong Peninsula of the Jin people, and almost went to war with the Jin country, forcing Jin Taizu to death.

Zhang Kui is good at managing money, and he knows the benefits of money and valleys like the palm of his hand. His contribution to the opening of the Grand Marshal's Mansion and its current momentum is indispensable. Therefore, his words still have a certain weight.

Huang Qianshan said: "If the king of Liaodong came to relieve our danger in the Song Dynasty, he would never come without announcing it. Now he has sent tens of thousands of troops to Tokyo without notice, and he must have an ulterior purpose. "

What people didn't expect was that Zong Ze was in line with Huang Qianshan, saying: "Yes, we must not be optimistic about the fact that the King of Liaodong sent troops to advance to Tokyo."

Zhao Gou looked at Zongze and said, "The old general is really discerning."

Zong Ze said with a look of apprehension: "This old man has dealt with the King of Liaodong before, and he knows that this man is a hero in the world. You must not be careless when dealing with him!"

Chen Que said: "But that time when the King of Liaodong broke through Dengzhou and imprisoned the deputy commander?"

Zong Ze said: "It was that time when the King of Liaodong wanted the old man to work for him, but how could the old man be that soft-boned second minister? Later, the old man killed the guard and escaped from Dengzhou."

Liang Yangzu said: "I know this. At the beginning, the deputy commander made several memorials, saying that the king of Liaodong would be a big trouble, and he should be suppressed quickly, but Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others ignored it. They didn't want the old general to say that the king of Liaodong was really successful. The great trouble of our Great Song Dynasty. Looking at it now, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others are truly disastrous to the country and the people, and death is not a pity!"

Zong Ze said: "It doesn't make any sense to talk about this matter now. Based on the old man's understanding of the King of Liaodong, his choice to send troops at this time must have far-reaching significance. We must guard against it."

After a pause, Zongze said: "In my opinion, we might as well send troops to Tokyo before the Liangshan army arrives, and first break the siege of Tokyo, and then drive the Jin army and Liangshan army out of us with all the power of the whole country." Da Song."

Wang Boyan glanced at Zongze, and said: "Vice Marshal Zong actually wants to use a mere patchwork of more than 4 troops to fight against Jin's 10,000+ army and Liaodong's continuous army. With thirteen matches, Deputy Marshal Zong's confidence is bursting."

Zong Ze said: "Whoever said that our Great Song Dynasty only had 5 or 10 horses? Not to mention, Zhao Ye, the head of the North Road, Wang Xiang, the head of the West Road, Fan Ne, the envoy of Xuanfu of the Northeast Road, and Zeng Mao of Zhixing Renfu, they The three of them have [-] troops in their hands, as long as the Generalissimo orders them to send troops together to rescue the capital, our military strength is no less than that of the Jin army, why can't we fight?"

Wang Boyan sneered and said: "The few people you mentioned didn't even listen to His Majesty's orders, how could they listen to Kang Wang's orders? They are just dreaming."

Zong Ze said angrily: "You..."

Wang Boyan ignored Zong Ze, but looked at Zhao Gou, and said, "Your Majesty, I suggest that we go to Yingtian Mansion, which is Nanjing in the Song Dynasty. The fertile southern region can support millions of troops, as long as the king stands there, no matter whether the Jin people or the king of Liaodong dare to ignore the king, maybe the crisis in Tokyo will be resolved without a fight."

Huang Qianshan said: "Yes, Zhao Ye, the governor of the North Road, Wang Xiang, the governor of the West Road, Fan Ne, the envoy of Xuanfu on the Northeast Road, and Zeng Mao, Zhixing Renfu, are all in the south. To grow stronger and regain lost ground is just around the corner.”

Zong Ze said: "If you go to Yingtian Mansion, wouldn't you hand over your hands and let the gold thief go north?"

Wang Boyan smiled coldly, and said: "To be a person, you must be down-to-earth. The most important thing now is to solve the crisis of the Song Dynasty, instead of fighting to the end with the gold thief and being profited by the fisherman."

Zong Ze understood that the fisherman Wang Boyan was talking about was Li Yan.

To be honest, if it weren't for Li Yan's dispatch of troops, Zong Ze would definitely have resolutely resisted the gold.

But Li Yan's intrusion made Zongze feel a little shaken!

Zong Ze was too jealous of Li Yan, even more than Jin Ren.

In Zong Ze's view, the Jin people are incapable of overthrowing the Song Dynasty, but Li Yan has this ability - Zong Ze has been an official in Shandong and Hebei for many years, and he knows the extent of Li Yan's prestige in these two places. Gao, and the power of the Great Song Dynasty has reached the current state, so if Li Yan comes to Shandong and Hebei, these two places will definitely fall into Li Yan's hands, and then...

Zong Ze didn't dare to think about what happened next, but hesitantly said: "Then let's hand over Shandong and Hebei?"

Seeing that Zongze, who was the most difficult to deal with, wavered, Wang Boyan's tone slowed down, and said: "It's not about giving up, but about giving up a place for the Jin army and the Liangshan army to fight with each other. After they are both defeated, we will come back to regain the lost ground." .”

Although Zongze is in the main battle, he also knows that with the current strength of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, it is impossible to defeat the Jin Army or the Liangshan Army. It is indeed true to withdraw to Yingtian Mansion to gather enough forces, and then come back to recover the country. A possible solution.

But the question is... what about the people in Bianliang City, Tokyo?
