() Now, apart from the rebellion of the Wanyan Zonggan brothers, Liangshan, Song and Qing can be said to bear the brunt of what Wu Qimai is most concerned about.So when Li Ai said that he had the confidential news about Liangshan, he immediately came to his senses.

Shi Liai continued to say: "After occupying the lands of Henan, Hebei, and Hedong, Song Qing swallowed up the vast land south of Kaifeng and north of the Yangtze River, and recently forced the Song Dynasty to seal the land in the middle of Shu to him. And Except for Hedong and Hebei, most of these places are dominated by officials of the Song Dynasty, and it is completely impossible to completely agree with Liangshan."

"In addition, the land in Central Shu is still in the hands of the rebel Fang La. It is obviously impossible for Song Qing to take it back in a short period of time. Therefore, the most important thing for Song Qing to do now is to consolidate his power, and he is completely powerless to invade our country. Jin, the little tricks the Liangshan troops did on the border were just to confuse His Majesty, so that His Majesty would not be able to calmly attack the rebels, so as to achieve his goal of making a profit."

After listening to Shi Liai's words, Wu Qimai couldn't help but fell silent. Based on the information he got, it seemed that what Shi Liai said made sense.The analysis by Gao Qingyi is somewhat similar.

If this is the case, I can also transfer many soldiers and horses from the border back to the division to suppress the rebellion.But what if Li Ai's words are not accurate?As soon as I transferred the troops away, the Liangshan army followed in. Didn't I really become a big gold sinner?

Suddenly Gao Qingyi said speculatively: "These are just your one-sided remarks. What evidence do you have that Liangshan will not send troops?"

Just now he said that Song Qing would not send troops, but now in order to attack Shi Liai, he put forward different opinions.But this is exactly what Wu Qimai wants to hear.

Shi Li'ai seemed to have known Gao Qingyi's question beforehand, so she bowed and replied: "After I pretended to join them, the guards guarding the minister relaxed their vigilance somewhat. So I learned from their conversation and everything that happened on the way back. See, it is analyzed that Liangshan has no intention of raising troops."

"Ha! What secrets can the guards know? Someone told Master Shi himself?"

From Wu Qimai's expression, Shi Li'ai could easily see that the emperor had already believed seven percent of her words.A little complacently, he glanced at Gao Qingyi who was sneering at him, pretending not to hear what he said.

Then he said to Wu Qimai: "During the chat, the two guards intended to be stationed in the south. At that time, the minister was thinking, how could they have such an idea for no reason? This is the first, and the second is that the minister is returning On the way, I saw that the troops stationed in Zhending had gone south one after another. This is what I got from their analysis from their luggage. Combining these two points, I concluded that Liangshan, Song and Qing wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in our country to send troops to govern the newly occupied south. land"

"Your Majesty insists on producing evidence, but I really can't do so, but I have the courage to ask Your Majesty to inquire about the Central Plains' spies. Is what I said wrong?"

Of course Wu Qimai would investigate, and Jin Guo's spies in the Central Plains could not be identified in just one place.Nodding with a smile, he said, "If it's as Aiqing said, I will reward you very much."

After a pause, he continued: "Wanyan Zongqian brothers and two groups of rebels are coming aggressively. What is Shi Qing's good strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

Shi Liai glanced at Gao Qingyi with a pale face like a demonstration, and said proudly: "I have a plan to make the rebels defeat themselves without attacking."

Is this cowhide blown a bit too big?Although Wu Qimai didn't believe it, he was still willing to listen to what he had to say.

"Your Majesty may decree to restore Wan Yan Gao to all his duties and lead troops to put down the rebellion."

After listening to Shi Liai's words, Wu Qimai couldn't help but startled, what kind of clever plan is this?Handing over the military power to Wan Yangao, isn't he putting a rope around his neck?

But he soon understood Shi Liai's deeper meaning.Restoring Wanyan Gao's authority and knowing Ban Bojilie's power is equivalent to restoring his right to inherit the throne, and at the same time handing over the army to Wanyan Gao to command, so Wanyan Zonggan said that he wanted to abolish the Jurchen inheritance The excuse is self-defeating. Even if the troops of the Wanyan Zonggan brothers cannot be retreated, at least they can disintegrate many tribal armed forces that rely on them for this reason.

At the same time, the command seemed to be in Wan Yangao's hands, but as long as the generals leading the troops were all his own, he would not be able to make any disturbances either.And after this incident, isn't it just a matter of saying when I want to get rid of him?

Thinking of this, Wu Qi bought Longyan Dayue, he was indeed someone he valued, and he did not disappoint him.

He nodded and said: "Okay, according to Shiqing's words, pass the decree to Wan Yangao, restore all his official positions, and make him King of Yue, and lead the army to fight the rebellion for me."

"Your Majesty"

Amid all the praises, Jin Guojun and his ministers ended the conversation, only Gao Qingyi looked at Shi Liai's back with a trace of resentment in his eyes.

To say that Shi Li'ai is really talented, based on the analysis of the current situation of the Liangshan regime, he can guess Song Qing's thoughts very well.

But eight and nine are not ten after all, so it is impossible for him to fully understand Song Qing's thoughts.

Because the Jin soldiers had just withdrawn from Hebei, and at the same time they wanted to eliminate scattered armed forces, the state capitals in Hebei had always had the most troops. However, as the situation in Hebei gradually calmed down, many state capitals no longer needed to station so many troops.

The deployment of troops that Shi Liai saw was actually one part going south, while the other part was secretly enriched to various important towns on the border.

And just as Gao Qingyi said, Song and Qing would not easily send troops into the territory of the Kingdom of Jin.But if the gold people have already pinched out the life and death, then it's another matter.

For this reason, Song and Qing had already sent Zhu Wu to Zhending to assist Lin Chong. Once the civil war in the Kingdom of Jin was fully launched, they would immediately send troops to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.Then, with the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun as the boundary, relying on the ancient Great Wall to establish a new Liangjin defense line.

It is impossible to fully invade the Kingdom of Jin, because Liangshan does not have that strength.Fighting a war requires not only military, but also huge logistical supplies. Liangshan is not yet fully prepared, as Song Qing had said to the generals in the early morning.

According to Song Qing's instructions, Lin Chong ordered Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others to prepare troops to recover the country at any time.

Because sometimes Li Ai's analysis came first, and at the same time, spies from all over Hebei also reported to the Kingdom of Jin about Liangshan troops going south, so Wu Qimai finally made up his mind to transfer a large number of troops from the border to deal with the rebellion of Yan Zonggan's brothers.

He had to do this because he knew better than anyone else that if the rebellion could not be resolved in the shortest possible time, Liangshan might not be the only one who invaded Dajin.

Through continuous mobilization, Wu Qimai deployed 40 troops around Zhongdu to deal with the 30 troops of Wanyan Zonggan's brothers.The largest civil war since the founding of Dajin was about to begin in a blink of an eye.

Jin Guo was busy fighting in the nest, and Song Qing was not idle.As the weather gradually turns cold, the autumn harvest has ended everywhere.

This year's harvest in Hebei can only be said to be so-so, because there is too much idle land.This can be said to be a sequela of the retreat of the Jin people, but it is precisely because of the loss of a large number of people, coupled with the full support of Shandong and other places, that there have been no hungry people in Hebei.

Having a full stomach is just the first step, and the next step is to vigorously improve their living standards.Song Qing's goal is not only to restore the land of Hebei to its former appearance, but even better than before.

Because the land in Jiangbei is already under the control of Liangshan forces, the integration of various places has gradually accelerated, and cultural exchanges, business exchanges, etc. have returned to the past.

It is also with the support of these rich places in Jiangbei that not only solved the food and clothing of the people in the post-war areas, but also gradually enriched the treasuries of various places under the Liangshan regime.

After the harvest, inventory, etc. were reported from various places, Song Qing and others finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the most difficult days finally passed.

The days are getting better, and it is inevitable that everyone's thoughts will increase again.Some suggested taking advantage of the chaos in the Jin Dynasty to send troops directly to Huanglong, while others thought that Fang La should be dealt with first to completely complete the strategic encirclement of the Song Dynasty.

Song Qing has not been stunned by these achievements. Recovering Yanyun sixteen prefectures is an established strategic goal and will not change.And once these places are fully occupied, the lives of the people here must be ensured, so various supplies will also be followed up in large quantities. In this case, is there room for other things?

It is not the time to conquer Fangla, the most important thing is the issue of national power.The road to Shu is difficult and dangerous, and if you want to send troops into Shu, you must have huge logistical support.

Compared with entering Shuzhong, the battle to regain Yanyun is obviously much smaller.And the Central Plains region has just recovered its vitality, if such a large-scale battle is carried out again, it will easily make Song and Qing's hard work in the past few years go to waste.

However, Song Qing still took this suggestion from his subordinates very seriously. Now the vast areas from Dengzhou in Shandong in the east to Linzhou in the west, Bazhou in the north and the Yangtze River in the south are all under the control of Liangshan. Taking Shuzhong into the bag can completely surround the Zhao and Song courts.

And once that day comes, the position of my dream will not be far away.

After convincing everyone with his own ideas, Song Qing led people to rush to Zhending.It was reported that Wanyan Zonggan's troops had already encountered Wu Qimai's army, and it was obvious that a full-scale war was imminent.

Recovering Yanyun started from the founding of Zhao Kuangyin, a dream of the Central Plains people for more than 100 years, how could he miss it?

At this time, Liangshan had secretly assembled an army of 20 troops and deployed them on the front line of Mozhou. Only after Song Qing gave an order, they could march in large numbers.

With such a short distance, it is impossible for Wu Qimai not to know the east direction of Liangshan, but because of Li Ai's preconceived opinions sometimes, he still feels that Liangshan is just a bluff.

According to the predetermined strategy, Yue Fei led his troops to recover Shuozhou first, and then marched into Datong.Han Shizhong sent troops out of Bazhou, took Zhuozhou, Jizhou, and Tanzhou, and then returned to Youzhou.

Lin Chong led the central army to capture Weizhou, Xinzhou, and Wuzhou, and then encircled Youzhou with Han Shizhong.

Among the sixteen prefectures, Datong is called Xijing by the Jin people, and Youzhou is called Nanjing, so there are still heavy troops stationed in these two places, because Liangshan has to respond with heavy troops.

But at this moment, something that no one expected happened suddenly.
