On the evening of October 18th, gusts of cold wind swept through the streets of Tokyo.

People walking on the street have put on thick clothes.

A young man walked into Fan Tower carrying an exquisite box. This delicious dinner was delivered to Zhang Sijun's room on the third floor.

It has been popular in Tokyo during the Song Dynasty for many years, so this is not surprising.

While Zhang Sijun was enjoying her dinner, suddenly a burst of voices came from the window: "Good news! Good news! King's division defeated the 300,000 Goryeo rebels in Goryeo! Capture the rebel leader alive!"

The voice of the messenger attracted the attention of countless people.

At this time, Cai Mao just finished his day's work. He saw Zhao Ding at the palace gate who was about to go home, and hurriedly walked over.

"Mr. Zhao."

"Xianggong Cai."

"Ms. Zhao, you should be more cautious about the war in Goryeo. This may involve the northwest border defense and the Hebei border defense. If it continues for too long, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"I haven't considered what you said." Zhao Ding said, "But Wang Taiwei has made it clear. The battle of Goryeo is related to the survival of Fuzhou. Goryeo has made a statement with practical actions. They stand on

On the Jin side, if the anti-Song forces in Goryeo are not eradicated, the consequences will be disastrous."

Cai Mao said: "If the Xixia people send a heavy army to Yinzhou now, will Shaanxi fight?"

"The Xixia people have made a lot of money in the market, so the chance of sending troops is low."

"But what if Jin Guo is instigating it at this time?"

"Then find a way to delay it and send someone to negotiate."

"But what if the Xixia people seize the opportunity and want to take back Yinzhou?" Cai Mao asked continuously, "If the Xixia people take action and the Northwest War resumes, and I fight against Goryeo on the eastern front, what will the Jin people do?

move?"

Zhao Ding showed a hint of less obvious pain on his face, but his mood had always been very stable. He said, "Let's wait a little longer. Give Gao Li some more time. The investment required may not be as much as we imagined."

"We can't wait any longer. Goryeo will inevitably drag the Song Dynasty into the pit of war. Think of Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the messenger suddenly rushed towards the entrance of the palace: "Good news! The king's division defeated 300,000 rebels in Goryeo, captured the rebel Jin Fushi, and welcomed Wang Kai back to the capital!"

Cai Mao: "..."

Zhao Ding was also stunned, thinking that he had heard wrongly.

The two of them watched blankly as the messengers rushed all the way into the palace.

Cai Mao said: "Did he just say good news?"

Zhao Ding said: "Yes."

"Defeated 300,000 Goryeo rebels?"

"That's what he said."

Cai Mao added: "You also captured Jin Fushi?"

Zhao Ding said: "Han Shizhong should not dare to lie about the military situation. Besides, Qin Hui is also in Goryeo."

"Ms. Zhao, please help me, I'm a little dizzy."

The news was quickly sent to Wende Palace.

Zhao Ning was about to go find Qian Jinshu for dinner. When he heard the news, he immediately called the officials back.

Zhao Ning said: "Have you previously issued an order to the military commanders of the border towns for the king's army to march eastward to Korea and secure the border?"

"This is done to prevent the border commanders from expanding the war at will."

Zhao Guanjia asked again: "How much did it cost to conquer Goryeo?"

Zhang Shuye said: "It should not exceed 500,000 yuan."

"Immediately lift the order to secure the border. If an enemy invades the border, we will fight as necessary."

"Yes, I will send the letter right away."

He Li said: "Song Xia and Song Jin both have a lot of trade. Xixia will not stir up trouble at this time, and neither will Jin."

"I hope not, but if I want to stir up trouble, I won't tolerate it!"

On October 25th, Chang'an City, Shaanxi General Department was established.

Zhang Jun received the latest military report from Yinzhou.

Many things only need to be calculated once and you will know that you cannot do it casually because the risk is too great and cannot be borne by any one person.

In the second year of Jingkang's reign, Zhang Jun caused trouble in Shaanxi and sent all the Western troops outside Chang'an City to fight a big battle with the Jin people.

That's because the Song Dynasty had no other choice but to make a desperate move.

But people can't always be desperate.

Most desperate attempts result in a tragic death.

In the seventh year of Jingkang, many situations within the Song Dynasty had undergone great changes.

The New Deal faction spent a lot of effort to implement the New Deal, and also made many changes in military and political affairs.

The Zhao Guan family has its own strategic plan to destroy Xia.

It would be very unwise to risk starting a war with Xixia at such a special period.

Fortunately, Liu Qi was relatively stable, and the two sides faced off at Weirong Village.

Lu Zhi was the first to say: "The excuses made by the Xixia people really insult the intelligence of all of us here."

Everyone else laughed, and the atmosphere seemed quite relaxed.

"The Xixia people have been preparing armor and gathering soldiers and civilians in Hengshan for the past two years. They are so ambitious." Liu Ziyu said, "The battle between Song and Xia is only a matter of time, but it happens at this time. Don't you think it's strange?"

"You mean, Jin Guo instigated it?"

"That's right, it was the Jin people who were instigating it behind the scenes. They wanted to make us, the Song Dynasty, fight on two fronts, which would greatly consume our Song Dynasty's military strength. Once they succeeded, the Jin army would definitely move south again on a large scale!"

"I will never die if the golden thief kills me!" Lu Zhi said.

Zhang Jun said: "Let's get back to the topic. According to the current confirmed information, the Xixia people have assembled nearly 100,000 troops. It seems that they are well prepared. What do you think the next situation will be like?"

Lu Zhi said: "Since the Xixia people already know that I am sending troops to the east front, they will inevitably expand the scale of the war. However, they only sent troops to besiege Weirong Village and never took action. Obviously Xixia is extremely conservative internally and they have their own fears."

After a pause, Lu Zhi said: "Their goal is only Yinzhou. If I guess correctly, the Xixia people will increase their troops next and keep putting pressure on us to return Yinzhou to them."

"Since it is a deterrent, we will not reveal our flaws easily." Liu Ziyu said, "But I still have the same question, what will happen if we really go to war with the Xixia people?"

"All the guilds in the court are strongly opposed!" Fan Zhixu, the Yongxing military commander who has been silent, said, "A large-scale battle on the two fronts will immediately evolve into an all-out war in the north, because once a large-scale war breaks out between Song and Xia, the Jin Kingdom

They will inevitably take the opportunity to take action. It is best not to happen, otherwise we will all be blamed!"

Liu Ziyu looked at Zhang Jun: "This problem is really tricky."

Zhang Jun said: "Even if we want to send troops, it is impossible. The imperial court has made it clear that at this critical period, we must stabilize the situation in the northwest and cannot act rashly."

Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, someone suddenly came in from outside: "Report! Urgent report from the capital!"

Zhang Jun took it over, and everyone was curious, what urgent news could be sent from Tokyo at this time?

After Zhang Jun read it, he was stunned for a moment: "The rebellious officials and traitors of Goryeo have been pacified, and the border guards have been stabilized and lifted!"
Chapter completed!
