Wan Yanjing stopped talking.

Zong Wang said: "You can do whatever you have to do. I will take care of the matter of going to Beijing."

Everyone said: "Yes!"

Liu Yanzong stayed and said, "Your Highness, the situation in Goryeo is still unclear. I'm afraid now..."

"I know." Zong Wang took a deep breath and looked tired, "If the battle in Goryeo goes against our army, not only will Zong Han not be able to go south to Hebei, the imperial court will have no choice but to send more troops to Liaoyang."

"Zhongshu Ling may hope to transfer troops from Yanyun to Liaoyang."

"Deploy troops from me?" Zong Wang shook his head, "He should think of more ways to instigate a war between Goryeo and Song Dynasty, but it was done by him. If there is a problem, I can't let me solve it for him."

Zong Wang's New Deal in Yanyun Land was promoted quite well. At least he gathered a large number of literary and political talents, which made the local Han elites admire him.

As for the current situation, Zong Wang first had the letter sent back to Shangjing, and then personally visited the army in Yanjing.

You must know that in the first year of Jingkang, he and Zong Han went south. He was the first to arrive in Tokyo and extorted a large sum of money from Song Qinzong Zhao Huan, who was before Zhao Ning traveled through.

Zong Wang's military ability is no less than that of Jin Wushu!

In the eighth year of Jingkang's reign, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, I went to Beijing.

Zong Han gathered a group of elite troops and prepared to go south.

His vanguard troops had already assembled in Daizhou.

His plan to conquer the Song Dynasty was to go all the way to Hedong and all the way to Hebei.

Just as Zong Han left the house, Han Duo rushed back to Beijing.

He came to see Zong Han immediately.

"Zhongshu Ling!"

"You're back." Zong Han said lightly, "How is Xixia now? Has the entire army been suppressed?"

Han Duo hesitated for a moment and then said: "Zhongshu ordered that the Xixia people were defeated."

"Huh?" Zong Han couldn't help but frown.

"The Xixia people were defeated by the Song army in Yinzhou, and now Li Qianshun has written a letter of apology to Zhao Guan's family!"

The expression on Zong Han's face gradually solidified, and then turned livid: "What did you say!"

Clearly sensing Zong Han's anger, Han Duo timidly said: "Xi... the Xixia people were defeated..."

Zong Han grabbed Han Duo's collar and said like an angry lion: "Impossible! How long it took! It's impossible for the Xixia people to be defeated so quickly!"

"Zhongshu Ling, this is true..."

The main force of Goryeo was defeated by the Song army, and the Xixia people were defeated so quickly!

Zong Han suddenly felt that no one was reliable.

News of the Xixia people's defeat soon spread in Shangjing.

Everyone thought Zong Han would be concerned, but Zong Han soon sent his troops south.

Everyone knew about Zong Han's troop deployment, but everyone pretended not to know.

Finally, the news reached the palace. When Zong Pan, who was drinking and sleeping with a beautiful woman, found out, he became furious and scolded the messenger for a full stick of incense.

Then, he imitated his father's majestic posture and gave the order: "Recall Zong Han immediately. If you dare to disobey, I will not give you mercy!"

The people below also quickly cooperated: "Yes, yes, yes!"

The result is: nothing!

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the battle report of the Battle of Xijing reached Liaoyang and was placed on Wanyan Xiyin's desk.

Wanyan Xiyin frowned and squinted his eyes, as if he wanted to find some beneficial news for Daikin from the battle report.

But after searching for a long time, he couldn't find a word that was beneficial to Daikin.

"The situation is not good!"

Gao Qingyi said in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Our army suffered a lot of damage in Xijing, and the Song army in Xijing was surprisingly tenacious."

The two of them pondered for a moment, and Gao Qingyi said: "Either increase the number of troops, or we have to..."

"We must not retreat, otherwise we will hand over Goryeo to the Song Dynasty and Liaoyang will be in danger!"

"Xiaguan didn't mean to retreat. Xiaguan believed that we could support a Korean to become king north of Xijing and drag the situation into a protracted war."

"I didn't expect what you said." Wanyan Xiyin said, "Zhongshu Ling is now preparing to go south to attack the Song Dynasty, but the battle situation in Goryeo is like this. If Zhongshu Ling goes south, the Song army will never recover.

What should I do if I go north?"

Gao Qingyi also sighed, if Gao Li had been a little bit more ambitious, the situation would not end there.

According to the original plan, the Song Army was caught in a protracted war, in a dilemma, and Fuzhou's troops were depleted. The Jin Army moved south from Liaoyang, and the Song Army's situation in Liaodong would deteriorate overall.

Once this happens, and cooperate with Xixia's march south, the opportunity to attack Song Dynasty will be great.

But who would have thought that Goryeo would be so vulnerable!

Wanyan Xiyin said helplessly: "I can only state the pros and cons of the situation to Zhongshu Ling, and let Zhongshu Ling make the decision!"

This is no longer something he can decide.

After the Battle of Xijing, the battle between the Goryeo and Song armies has officially entered a tug-of-war, which means that both sides must continue to invest resources.

No one is willing to give up the two strategic locations of Goryeo and Fuzhou.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Tokyo City, Wende Hall.

After Gao Qiu came in, he submitted a report.

"Your Majesty, is this the current progress of the Qingzhou case?"

Zhao Ning picked it up and looked at it again, and said curiously: "Do you want to tell me that a push official and a military officer joined the army and levied and extorted money in the local area without the knowledge of the state magistrate? The judge was completely unaware of it? They received orders from Yuan Deng.

The State Economic and Strategy Department ordered the requisition of grain? Is Han Shizhong instigating all this behind the scenes?"

Sensing the anger in the emperor's tone, Gao Qiu quickly said: "No, Your Majesty, this is a summary submitted by Qingzhou. I just follow..."

"Show me what they think?"

Zhao Ning threw the report down on the spot and said angrily: "Just use these little fish and shrimps to frame my frontline commander! They are insulting me! They think I am a fool!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I think they are just fooling the court!"

"Go, take these two people to the capital, and the Imperial City Secretary will interrogate them personally to find out who made them talk nonsense! Go quickly!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I sent someone long ago! They should be on their way back now!"

Only then did Zhao Ning smile: "You are still thoughtful."

Gao Qiu rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I think there is something fishy about this matter."

"oh?"

"I have heard a lot of rumors recently, related to Liaodong."

"What's the news?"

"There are rumors in private that the imperial court is about to set up a Protectorate in Liaodong, and a large number of officials will be promoted to Liaodong."

"They are quite positive."

"There are also rumors that Han Shizhong is determined to be independent in Liaodong, and the court is already considering changing his commander."

"Who passed this on?"

"It's been rumored among the people privately."

This immediately aroused Zhao Ning's vigilance, and he did not expect that such rumors had already begun to spread among the people.

Zhao Ning asked: "What do you think about this?"

Gao Qiu said: "I feel that Han Shuai has blocked many people's way of making money."

Zhao Ning began to think deeply, and he suddenly said: "I'm afraid it's not just a matter of financial resources, it may also involve the fine work of the Jin people!"

"What does your Majesty mean?"
