On the 11th day of the first lunar month of the eighth year of the reign of Emperor Jingkang, the Tokyo Daily News and the Tokyo Express simultaneously published the latest war situation in Goryeo.

And the content is sent to newspapers in many places.

With great vigor and vigor, we hit the Yalu River!

The situation in Liaodong is excellent!

Now the imperial court is preparing to increase its troops by another 300,000!

For a moment, the melon-eating crowds in Tokyo started shouting.

Some people were talking loudly on the street: "The recovery of Goryeo is just around the corner!"

"Send troops from Goryeo to conquer the Kingdom of Jin in the north and defeat the golden thieves!"

"Hahaha, how great is it that I am a Gaoli, but it turns out that I am just a clown!"

"My Song Dynasty is invincible in the world!"

"..."

"What! The Song Dynasty is planning to increase its troops by 300,000?" Zhang Mao put down his tea cup and was surprised.

"Yes, it's clearly written in the newspapers."

Zhang Mao took the newspaper, read it once, and laughed: "Hahaha, this is another Song Dynasty's trick, don't be fooled!"

"Then shall we tell Yanjing?"

Zhang Mao hesitated for a moment and said: "Write a letter to Yanjing immediately and send this newspaper as well!"

Although Zhang Mao thought this was a suspicious tactic.

But what if it’s not?

If not, and the news did not reach Yanjing immediately, then Zhang Mao must bear the responsibility.

"yes!"

The spy lurking in Tokyo immediately rushed this big news to Yanjing, leaving Zong Wang to make his own decision.

Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye it is already the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Li Qianshun, who has been in a very depressed mood recently, suddenly received a piece of news today.

"Wanyan Wu passed away as a beggar?"

Li Qianshun was greatly surprised.

Brother Richard said: "His son Wanyan Zongpan has ascended the throne."

"That's not right. Didn't you say before that you named Wanyan Quan as the crown prince?"

"I'm afraid the rights and wrongs involved are beyond our imagination."

"I have always heard that Wanyan Zongpan is a peacemaker and is unwilling to go to war with the Song State. It seems that God is helping the Song State!" Li Qianshun sighed.

"not necessarily!"

"How to say?"

"The court of the Jin Kingdom is complicated. Although Zong Pan ascends the throne, he may not be able to convince the public. A proud and powerful general like Zong Han cannot listen to him."

"You mean, Zong Han will continue to go south?"

"Very possible."

"Then...we still have a chance?"

"If the Jin army moves south in a large scale, we do have a chance!" Brother Richard said, "Song is unwilling to convene the state, so we will send troops to attack Song!"

"Okay!" Hope seemed to rekindle in Li Qianshun's eyes, "Observe the trends of Song and Jin at any time so that you can make early preparations!"

"yes!"

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Military and Political Council issued a secret order to dispatch a group of Xiang troops from Dengzhou and Mizhou to Fuzhou and Goryeo. At the same time, merchants in Hangzhou would also secretly bring larger quantities of grain, cloth, medicinal materials and other materials to Liaodong.

While Zhao Guan's family advocated vigorously increasing the number of troops in the newspapers, they did not move the troops and only provided logistics.

Moreover, in the early morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, Yu Yunwen of Zhending Mansion suddenly received an appointment from Zhao Guan's family.

He was appointed as the envoy of the Song Dynasty to represent the sincerity of the Zhao family and sent the envoy to the Jin Kingdom to Beijing to meet with the newly enthroned emperor Wanyan Zongpan of the Jin Kingdom to express condolences for the death of Wanyan Wu and congratulate Wanyan Zongpan on his ascension to the throne.

For the sake of the well-being of the people of both countries, I hope that the friendship between the two countries will last forever.

However, in the second half of the first month, officials of the Military and Political Council significantly increased their food purchases from the coastal areas of Jingdong East Road and Hangzhou.

In addition, boxes of weapons, including firearms, are also being transported to Liaodong.

The official transportation system in the eastern part of the Song Dynasty was operating rapidly.

This was not enough. On the 20th of the first lunar month, Wu Jie of Taiyuan Prefecture also received a letter from Zhao Guan's family.

The content of the letter is very simple: When will you move to Linzhou?

In this way, the large-scale increase of troops in Goryeo is false, but the attack on Linzhou is true!

The situation in Song, Jin and Xia continued to develop with the changes in the war situation in Goryeo.

On the twenty-second day of the first lunar month, Wanyan Zonghan's 50,000-strong army arrived in Liaoyang in a mighty manner, with the momentum of swallowing up mountains and rivers.

Zong Han did not continue southward immediately, but recruited troops and horses in Liaoyang.

He wanted to force another 30,000 troops in Liaoyang, plus 20,000 people from Wanyan Salihe in Daizhou, for a total of 100,000 troops.

This is a powerful army.

Zong Han's military talent, whether it is strategic deployment or tactical command, is absolutely top-notch in the Jin Kingdom.

In terms of talent at the tactical level, I am afraid that only the late Wanyan Loushi could surpass him.

As for Jin Wushu, there is still a clear gap between him and Zong Han.

If it hadn't been for the third war of the Song Army in the third year of Jingkang, when Zong Han was crippled by Zhao Ning in the first battle of Shangdang, the situation changed, and he was suppressed by the domestic peace faction, Zong Han would have gone south several times.

I'm afraid there won't be the current situation.

However, nothing in the world can be done smoothly if you want to do it.

Even if the emperor wants to do something, he needs to use means to make all parties agree.

Now, in the Jin Kingdom, there are not only internal conflicts between the peace-promoting faction and the war-promoting faction.

The war situation in Goryeo led to differences of opinion within the main war faction and the main war faction.

Zong Han insisted on going south but was strongly opposed by Wanyan Xiyin.

Wanyan Xiyin said: "Zhongshu Ling, the current war situation in Goryeo is not optimistic!"

Wanyan Zonghan said with a cold face: "Ba Lisu still has more than 7,000 troops. According to your strategy, he can establish another King of Korea in Goryeo and support the Goryeo people in the north to fight against the Song army!"

"but……"

"Does Goryeo's trivial matter require us to send out the main force?" Zong Han was in a bad mood, "If we don't attack Song Dynasty now, my position in the court will be weakened. Do you know the consequences?"

"Of course I know the consequences." Wanyan Xiyin said earnestly, "But if the Song army completely controls Goryeo, it will be even more difficult for us to regain Fuzhou. Fuzhou and Goryeo form a horn against us in Liaodong.

, our hinterland of the Jin Kingdom will be completely exposed to the front of the Song army, which is a big taboo!"

"I only need half a year. This time the goal is not Tokyo City, but to destroy the deep defense line operated by Song State in Hebei!" Zong Han said confidently, "I have carefully thought about Zong Wang's strategy, and he is right.

The Song Dynasty cannot be eaten in one breath, so it needs to be eaten one bite at a time to tire the Song Dynasty!"

"In case of the situation in Goryeo..."

"When my army goes south to Hebei, the Song Dynasty will return reinforcements from Liaodong!"

"But what if the Song army goes north from Fuzhou?" Wanyan Xiyin said, "This is too risky. Zhongshu ordered you to think twice!"

"Then let's see who can win faster. If I break through the Song Army's defenses in Hebei within a month, the Song Army will panic inside. You only need to defend Liaoyang!"

Wanyan Xiyin said: "There is a Song general named Yue Fei in Hebei. This man is brave and resourceful. If Zhongshu orders this battle, it may not end as soon as possible."

"I have long wanted to learn from Yue Fei!"

Wanyan Xiyin seemed determined not to want Wanyan Zonghan to go south. He continued: "What if the Song Dynasty increases its troops to Goryeo at this time and plans to end the War of Goryeo as soon as possible with the overwhelming power of Mount Tai?"

"Impossible!" Wanyan Zonghan immediately rejected Wanyan Xiyin's conjecture, "The Song army deployed military defense lines thousands of miles east and west from Shaanxi to Goryeo. He has no extra troops to mobilize!"
