Gao Qingyi said: "I heard that the Song Dynasty built many fortresses in Yinzhou. Could it be that the ruler turned a deaf ear?"

Brother Richard on the side said: "We have signed a peace contract with Song Dynasty and do not want to cause trouble again."

Gao Qingyi said: "But why did I hear that the Song army has been eyeing Yinzhou?"

"What does the Golden Envoy mean?"

Gao Qingyi said: "There is no other intention. The marshal sent me here to help Xia regain Yinzhou."

Li Qianshun couldn't help but ask: "Can the Jin Dynasty regain Yinzhou?"

"It is not difficult to regain Yinzhou. We only need to mobilize a group of troops from Gufu and Linzhou to attack Suide of the Song Dynasty from the rear and cut off Yinzhou's supplies. The king will then arrive at Yinzhou with an army of 100,000 troops. , the powerful troops of the Jin and Xia countries attacked the Song army in Yinzhou from front to back, and Yinzhou was defeated without attacking."

Hearing this, Li Qianshun was quite interested, and he continued: "How many troops can your country send?"

"One hundred thousand."

Brother Richard laughed out loud: "Your country is now confronting the Song State in Hebei, and the Song State has taken back the capital of Taiyuan. I heard that Wanyan Chao's mother was killed by the Song army. Where can we get another hundred thousand troops?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Jin, don't forget the Fugu family."

Brother Richard said: "Your Excellency, do you want to send the generals of the Zhe family here?"

"Of course there are also my elite Daijin teachers."

Li Qianshun hesitated.

Gao Qingyi said: "Does the ruler of the country not know that the Song Dynasty is now building a large number of fortresses in Yinzhou and is advancing towards Shizhou step by step?"

Li Qianshun said: "I have not received this information yet. The Song army is maintaining restraint in Yinzhou."

Gao Qingyi said again: "What about in Hedong?"

"Hedong?"

"When the Song State takes back Taiyuan, its next target must be Fugu and Linzhou. Once Fugu and Linzhou are taken back by the Song State, all Xia State's territory east of Mingtang River will be exposed to the Song army's front," Gao Qingyi said.

"If those places are occupied by the Song army, and all the east of Hengshan is returned to the Song Dynasty, then Yinzhou's logistics will not only be Suide, but the entire Hedong Road and Fuyan Road. The Song Dynasty will go to war again. May I ask Xia How does the country respond?"

What Gao Qingyi said made the Xixia monarchs and ministers fall silent.

The locations of Fugu and Linzhou are indeed very important. Fugu was where the Zhe family army was, and Linzhou was the territory of the Yang family generals.

The current situation is just a hole in Yinzhou. If the Eastern Front is completely taken back by the Song Dynasty, it will be overwhelming.

The Song Dynasty could completely advance through multiple routes, and even bypass Yinzhou and directly reach Shizhou and Xiazhou, but it was impossible for Xixia to intercept them through multiple routes.

In this way, the Song Dynasty will fully take the initiative in the northwest war situation.

The current situation is that both Fugu and Linzhou are in the hands of the Jin State, which is equivalent to the Jin State blocking the Song Dynasty's military front for Xixia in the east.

But the drastic change in the situation now is that Taiyuan was recaptured by Wu Jie, and the Song army had strong soldiers and horses.

Li Qianshun glanced at Brother Richard, who said: "What Ambassador Jin said is not unreasonable, but we still need to think about it again."

Gao Qingyi didn't say much more and was taken away to be rehabilitated.

Li Qianshun met Brother Richard alone and said: "What the Jin envoy said is not unreasonable. The Song Kingdom has taken back Taiyuan, and the threat to our eastern front has indeed increased."

Brother Richard said: "But there are Jin troops in Fugu and Linzhou. It is not easy for the Song troops to come over."

"The envoy of Jin just said that he is willing to send troops to join forces with our country to attack Song Dynasty."

Brother Richard said: "Think about how Zhang Yi deceived those princes and kings."

"You mean, if we send troops, the Kingdom of Jin may not send troops?"

"The news I received from Tokyo is that the Song Dynasty is now attacking the Jin on five fronts. The war in Hebei is about to break out, and the Jin envoys' negotiations in Tokyo are blocked."

Li Qianshun said: "What does this mean?"

Brother Richard said: "This shows that the Jin State does not want to go to war with the Song State now. Otherwise, the two sides would have already started fighting. Why would they send Gao Qingyi to lobby us?"

Li Qianshun suddenly woke up.

It seems that the Jin Kingdom wanted to encourage him to start a war first, ignite the war in the northwest, and contain the Song Dynasty's eastern front war.

Li Qianshun said in a serious tone: "But what Gao Qingyi said is indeed true. The Song army will most likely attack Fugu and Linzhou next. If Yinzhou is not in the hands of the Song army, the Song state can take back Fugu and Linzhou. Now Yinzhou In the hands of the Song army, if the Song army takes back Fugu and Linzhou, the war situation will not be good."

Brother Richard said: "Now Xiazhou's iron armor reserve has exceeded 100,000. In two years, the reserve will reach 300,000. Our army can recapture Yinzhou in one fell swoop. By then, the Yinzhou outpost will be lost. Even if the Song army takes back Fugu and Lin State, the threat has also been reduced a lot.”

"You mean, we have to endure it?"

"We have to endure it for two more years at most, and then we can take action against the Song army. We already have enough copper coins stored, and we have purchased enough supplies from the Huizhou Forge Market."

"Okay! I will wait for another two years. After two years, I must take it back to Yinzhou, otherwise I won't be able to sleep! Jin Shi, you go and refuse."

"Yes, leave it to me."

Gao Qingyi's mission to Xixia actually illustrates the internal divisions in the Jin Kingdom.

The peace faction is now seeking to negotiate peace and trade between the Song and Jin Dynasties and move the center of power southward, while the war faction is thinking of provoking a war from the northwest, creating an opportunity for the overall war situation and provoking a full-scale war.

The leader of the main fighting faction is naturally Wanyan Zonghan.

But Wanyan Zonghan didn't know that the launch of a war must conform to the deepest interests behind each country.

For example, he wants Xixia to send troops, but Xixia is prepared to be a spearman. At this stage, there is still huge room for profit from the northwest trade system.

That being the case, why did Li Qianshun want to sell the market when he could make money?

This is a benefit situation that Zhao Ning has laid out for Li Qianshun. This kind of situation cannot be broken by Jin Shi coming here today to instigate and fool around with you.

After all, who would say no to real money?

Information about the frequent activities of Jin envoys in Xixia was naturally sent to Zhao Ning one after another.

Zhao Ning is not worried about the northwest. The banknote payment system in the northwest is subtly changing the pattern of Song and Xia.

Now Zhao Ning is waiting for the reorganization of the south this year. After reorganizing Huaidong and Jiangdong, not only will he get more money, but the grand strategy of the Southeast Economic Center will also be implemented smoothly.

To put it more realistically, it can greatly alleviate the pressure on the national treasury.

Once you have enough funds, you can definitely show your dagger to Xixia!

At noon on the eighth day of August, Jiangning City became lively.

The first thing Qin Hui did when he arrived in Jiangning was to summon the prefects of various prefectures on Jiangdong Road to Jiangning City to discuss matters.

After these prefects received the urgent documents and heard that Qin Xianggong had arrived in Jiangning, they immediately rushed to Jiangning City.

At the same time, Zongze immediately rushed to Jiangning Mansion and went south to Guangde Army to reorganize their armaments to prevent further rebellion in Jiangdong.

Qin Hui's methods were indeed clever. After he arrived in Jiangdong, he immediately sent a gentle announcement to the prefectures in Jiangdong to stabilize the hearts of the officials.
