The exiled King of Goryeo was finally rescued by the Song Dynasty's navy. Just as they were about to ask for help from the Song Dynasty, the navy arrived, so the group was temporarily taken to Dengzhou, which was the base camp of the navy, and it was only a Bohai Strait from Goryeo. If the sea rush was good, it would only take one day to walk back and forth, so it was very convenient for Wang Heng and others to command the resistance activities in Goryeo from afar.

Li Zhang did not feel any sympathy for Goryeo's current fate. After all, they were the ones who were committed to death and could not blame others at all. Moreover, although the Goryeo King escaped, the capital was destroyed and the territory was occupied by the Liao army. Although there were still some Goryeo people resisting, it was actually considered a destruction of the country. Moreover, even if the Liao Kingdom was defeated in the future, the Song Dynasty would not be able to help the other party restore the country.

Of course, we must not tell Wang Heng and others the above facts now, because the Song Dynasty still needs them to incite the Goryeo people to resist the Liao army. It is best to drag the Liao army to the land of Goryeo, so as to weaken the strength of the Liao Kingdom as much as possible. As for this kind of resistance, the Goryeo people will suffer greater casualties, it is not within the consideration of the Song Dynasty.

"I thought the Liao army would still be like before, just to teach Goryeo a hard lesson and would withdraw after the battle, but I didn't expect that the Liao army would not plan to leave this time." In the Chuigong Hall, Zhao Zhen stroked his beard and looked at the love report on Goryeo.

"The Liao Kingdom is full of enemies, and they must also feel the crisis, so they must break this surrounded state. In this way, only Goryeo is the weakest, so they will definitely completely solve the threat from the east this time, and if it is possible, they may even attack the Jurchens in the north!" Li Zhang said without surprise.

"Cousin, we can't watch the Liao Kingdom solve the threats around us. When do you think we can attack the Liao Kingdom?" Zhao Zhen suddenly asked Li Zhang with great enthusiasm. Now the Liao Kingdom has become his biggest target. As long as the Liao Kingdom is destroyed, his achievements will surpass his two grandfathers, and his achievements will be even more at the same time as Emperor Wu of Han. ::

"With the strong enemy like Liao, even if the opponent is weak, it will never be destroyed in one or two battles. If I were asked to say, I suggest that the Liao Kingdom should be encroached on it. After all, time is on our side. As long as we slowly continue to grind, the Liao Kingdom will be destroyed sooner or later!" Li Zhang thought for a moment before speaking.

"But is this too slow?" Zhao Zhen showed a confused look after hearing this. After years of development, he felt that the Song Dynasty could crush the Liao Kingdom in all aspects, and while he was in his prime, if he could directly destroy the Liao Kingdom through a war, he would completely resolve this threat, rather than leave the Liao Kingdom to his descendants in future generations.

"In fact, since we captured Yanyun and began to enter the grassland, the area controlled by the Liao Kingdom has been shrinking. Now the situation between our two countries is somewhat similar to that of the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo in the past, but the Liao Kingdom is stronger than that of the Goguryeo in the past, and Emperor Taizong of Tang failed to do his best in the battle to attack Goguryeo. Later, it took years to invade Goguryeo for many years, which made Goguryeo exhausted, thus causing the later Emperor Gaozong of Tang to destroy Goguryeo in one fell swoop!"

Speaking of this, Li Zhang paused for a moment and then said: "Compared with Emperor Taizong of Tang back then, Your Majesty has another greater advantage, that is, Your Majesty is younger than Emperor Taizong of Tang when he attacked Goguryeo, so Your Majesty has all the time to consume the strength of the Liao Kingdom. When we are exhausted from dragging the Liao Kingdom, we can save a lot of effort when we send troops to attack."

When Zhao Zhen heard Li Zhang compare himself to the famous Emperor Taizong of Tang, he couldn't help feeling elated. However, he was very self-aware and quickly sobered up. Even if he really destroyed the Liao Kingdom in the future, he would probably not be able to compare with the emperor Li Shimin. After all, he started from scratch with his father, defeated all the princes in just a few years, and pushed the Tang Empire to an extremely strong point. He asked himself that he could not do the same as Li Shimin.

"Cousin, your words make sense, but now the two countries still maintain at least a covenant on the surface. Even if we want to send troops to invade, it may be a little unpleasant, right?" Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment and spoke again. Although he knew that the covenant would be torn down sooner or later, he still had to abide by it before torn down. After all, the reputation of his emperor is still very important.

"You don't have to worry about this. When we signed the Chanyuan Alliance with the Liao Kingdom, although the two countries generally maintained peace, the small-scale Liao army still went south to attack Caogu every year? Since they could do it, of course we can do it too. Zhenzhou is a grassland, which is very chaotic. We may send troops from there first and constantly harass and threaten the tribes that defect to the Liao Kingdom. This will be able to train troops and weaken the power of the Liao Kingdom!" Li Zhang suggested without any pressure.

"Yes, just do it this way. In addition, Yan Yun can also send a small number of troops to test the Liao army, which is best to make them tired of dealing with it. Anyway, our Song Dynasty has a strong national strength, so what we are most afraid of is this kind of consumption!" Zhao Zhen also clapped his hands and responded loudly when he heard this.

It is said that you are the first day of the lunar month and I am the fifteenth day. How did the Liao Kingdom treat the Song Dynasty back then? The Song Dynasty can now go there little by little. After all, this world is the prey of the weak. When the Song Dynasty was weak, it could only endure the bullying of the Liao Kingdom. Now the feng shui changes, so it should be for the Liao Kingdom to taste the humiliation.

Seeing Zhao Zhen accepting his suggestions without any pressure, Li Zhang also showed a satisfied smile. In fact, his ideas were very different from those of the ancients. For example, if the Khitans did not keep the alliance, the Song people would only think that they were barbaric. But if the Song Dynasty did not keep the alliance, there would probably be many old men who jumped out and accused the court of not being the same as the barbarians.

Fortunately, under his influence, Zhao Zhen was increasingly unrestrained in his thoughts. For the country, everything is based on interests. As for those false names, they don’t value them much. Of course, it’s best to have them. If there is no such thing, it doesn’t matter, as long as they can get actual benefits.

During the chat with Li Zhang, Zhao Zhen decided an important external strategy for the Song Dynasty, and this decision was quickly notified by Zhao Zhen. After the ministers discussed a specific implementation plan, the strategy of harassing the Liao Kingdom finally began to be implemented. However, at this moment, a major event happened in the court: Lu Yijian suddenly fell ill!
