"Song Jin teamed up?"

Li Yan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed "haha"!
After laughing, Li Yancai said: "How can you make such a judgment?"

Seeing that Li Yan didn't seem to believe that Song and Jin would join forces, Xu Guanzhong explained: "Han Shizhong intercepted a person dressed as a refugee. An imperial edict written by Song Huang and Song Shanghuang to Song Kangwang. The secret letter stated that the Jin people are willing to return all Zhao Song royal families, clans and Song officials including Song Huang and Song Shanghuang, and are willing to send troops to help Zhao Song Recapture Bianliang City, expel us from the country, and then the two countries will take the Yellow River as the boundary, repair forever, form a gang of brothers, and never invade, and the imperial edict ordered Song Kangwang to immediately attack us with the Jin army from north to south."

Seeing that Li Yan didn't say anything, Xu Guanzhong said again: "Then Sun Zhi said that he left our defense area on purpose to deliver a letter to us. Before him, the Jin people had sent three waves of envoys to Yingtian Mansion. Bo is from the Kingdom of Jin, and the first wave is Song Hanlin Chengzhi Wu Kai and Mo Yu. We did not catch the three waves of envoys. They must have bypassed the Song people's defense zone. Counting the time, Generalissimo Song's mansion should have seen it The peace envoy sent by the Jin people."

After listening, Li Yan asked Xu Guanzhong: "Do you think the peace talks between Song and Jin can be successful?"

Xu Guanzhong said: "From the point of view of the people of Song Dynasty, the terms of peace proposed by the people of Jin are the most beneficial to them. Moreover, the Emperor Song and the Emperor Song have already issued an edict. Therefore, I feel that there is a possibility of cooperation between Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty. Sexually, even if the Jin people once abolished Zhao Song."

After hearing this, Li Yan walked towards a hand basin in the corner.

Xu Guanzhong and Li Yan have been fighting north and south for many years, and they have already cultivated an extraordinary tacit understanding.

Therefore, Xu Guanzhong soon realized that Li Yan was not just washing his hands, but also that he didn't want their conversation to be heard by others.

Therefore, Xu Guanzhong raised his legs to follow, and then waited for Li Yan to wash his hands.

Coming to the hand basin, Li Yan said: "If Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan had not been abolished, and the Jin people offered such conditions, they would probably form an alliance. Now, it is impossible."

Xu Guanzhong was puzzled and said, "Why?"

Li Yandao: "You, Wen Tao and Wu Lue are all talented, but this political struggle is not good."

The family knows their own affairs.

First of all, Xu Guanzhong is a gentleman and disdains political struggles.

Secondly, as soon as Xu Guanzhong was born, he met Li Yan, the bright master. After that, Li Yan has always used Xu Guanzhong, and has always protected Xu Guanzhong, preventing Xu Guanzhong from being involved in political struggles, and only concentrates on doing things.

In this way, Xu Guanzhong, who has not experienced any major political incidents, does have some shortcomings in political struggles.

Xu Guanzhong bowed: "Thank you officials for protecting me all these years."

Li Yan said: "If you are caught in internal strife, who will fight for me?" Then, without waiting for Xu Guanzhong to answer, he said again: "If you want to treat Zhao Song's problem correctly, you must first separate Zhao Song, Hmm... let’s divide it into Northern Song Dynasty and Southern Song Dynasty.”

Li Yan put his hand into the hand basin, and then continued to say while washing his hands: "Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were abolished, and the Northern Song Dynasty has actually perished. Now only the Southern Song Dynasty is left. And this Southern Song Dynasty is a king of Yikang. A political group headed by Gou. After several months of development, some of them got the post of prime minister, some got the post of privy envoy, and Zhao Gou himself, in the hearts of many people in the Southern Song Dynasty, has already replaced Zhao Huan as Emperor Zhao... "

Xu Guanzhong didn't disdain infighting, he wasn't stupid, after Li Yan's little dialing, he immediately figured it out, and said: "The officials said that people in the Southern Song Dynasty don't want the Song Emperor and Song Shanghuang to go back and snatch Song Kangwang's throne?"

Li Yandao: "Once the emperor and the courtiers, if Zhao Ji or Zhao Huan go back, the first thing they think of is not to resist the gold, or to drive us away, but to regain their imperial power. If Zhao Huan is restored, it must be He Li should be used as prime minister, Feng Chen and Cao Fu should be used as privy envoys, and if Zhao Ji is restored, the veterans of Huizong Dynasty must be used as prime ministers. In this way, Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan who are currently in charge of the Southern Song Dynasty The Zaizhi people not only have to stand aside, they may even be purged. By the way, there are also Fan Na and Zhao Ye who openly violated the orders issued by Zhao Huan, which led to Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and the others being arrested and humiliated. Zhao Ji , Zhao Huan and the others, if they go back, why don’t they settle accounts with Fan Na and Zhao Ye’s generation? All in all, those people in the Southern Song Dynasty most likely do not want Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan to go back.”

Li Yan took the towel from Xu Guanzhong, wiped his hands, and then said: "This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is Zhao Gou...Under the sky, above all living beings, with Tianxian in his mouth, Holding power in his hands, ruling all directions, and looking down on the common people, for Zhao Gou, who once dreamed of wanting to be a leader, this throne is a temptation he can never refuse. But when Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan go back, not only will he not be able to be the emperor, but he will also be unable to be the emperor because of Suspected and persecuted, don't forget how Zhao Huan dealt with his father Zhao Ji back then."

Xu Guanzhong heard the cold sweat and said: "The officials said that those people in the Southern Song Dynasty would stop the peace talks between Song and Jin, and King Song Kang would acquiesce in such a thing?"

Li Yan said: "This possibility is very high."

Xu Guanzhong thought for a while, and said: "The official's words are very reasonable, but we are not afraid of [-], just in case, we should still take precautions."

Li Yandao: "You're right. Then ask Han Shizhong to strengthen the defense in the south while preparing for the decisive battle with the Jin army."

Xu Guanzhong replied: "No!"

After pondering for a while, Li Yan said again: "Notify Wu Jie and Yue Fei to send troops."

Xu Guanzhong hesitated for a moment, and said: "Should we wait a little longer? The minister has already transferred Wang Yan here. In half a month at most, Wang Yan will be able to lead an army of [-] troops here. In addition, Zhongnan also squeezed out a group of people. It's already on board."

Li Yan shook his head and said: "We can't wait any longer, if we wait for a long time, we will lose the chance to regain Yanyun."

Xu Guanzhong also knew that taking advantage of the main force of Yanyun's Jin army going south, and taking advantage of Jin's unawareness of the situation in the south, launching a surprise attack would be the most likely to retake Yanyun. Yan Yun is definitely going to be extremely difficult, and it is even possible that Yan Yun will never be taken back like the Song Dynasty.

Xu Guanzhong said: "If Yue Fei is allowed to go north, at least [-] elite soldiers must be allocated to him. In addition, a large army must be sent to replace Yue Fei to guard the Yellow River to prevent the Jin army from fleeing back. Here, we must prepare for a decisive battle with the Jin army. We also need to guard against sneak attacks by the Song army, with our current strength, we are really stretched."

Li Yan looked at Fan Qiong, Wu Ge, and Wang De, and said, "That's why I called them here."
