"Will the Lord of Liao be willing to take the chestnuts from the fire for the Western thieves and take risks?"
The ministers whispered to each other quietly and started discussing.
Zhao Xin looked at this situation and shook his head slightly in his heart.
He knew that these civil servants of the Song Dynasty were committing their old naive habits again.
Literati are always like this, a slap on the butt will determine the head.
Use what you think and believe to guess reality.
As a result, jokes were often made, giving birth to jokes that made future generations dumbfounded in history.
If they mess up something, these guys will immediately follow the ostrich approach and bury their heads in the sand. As long as they can't hear it, the thing will not happen.
Do you still need to think about this matter?
In military affairs, one always needs to show leniency to the enemy.
How can we win the national war without taking the worst-case scenario into consideration?
However, this kind of thing was already commonplace in Zhao Xin's previous life.
Except for a few civil servants in the Song Dynasty, most of them had no strategic thinking at all.
These scholar-bureaucrats who came from local prefectures and counties were all good at handling civil affairs, serving as officials, collecting taxes and building roads.
But it just cannot handle complex international relations and lacks strategic vision.
It's not that they can't do it, and it's not that they do it intentionally.
It is true that they do not have such ability at all!
The vast majority of these people have never been on a battlefield in their lives and have no relevant experience.
Their understanding of war and diplomacy comes from books written by ancients hundreds or even thousands of years ago.
So, behind closed doors, blind men touch the elephant.
This is a common problem among purely civil servants!
And it was not only the civil servants, but also the kings of the Song Dynasty.
Just like Zhao Zhen, since the beginning of the war with Yuan Hao, he has repeatedly issued his own formation diagrams to the frontline generals, requiring the frontline to arrange their troops according to his formation diagrams to fight the enemy.
Even sometimes, Chang Kaishen would possess him and directly micro-manage the front lines, hoping to show off his military talents.
And the result is usually the same as Chang Kaishen...
Therefore, Zhao Xin also understands that this situation cannot be changed in a short time.
He had no choice but to be patient and explain: "The world today has the power of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty..."
"We have to guard against Western bandits and Liao people, and follow the story of Sun and Liu to fight against the Song Dynasty together!"
If you say it, many people may not believe it.
In today's world, the Song Dynasty follows Cao Wei as the orthodox one, while the Liao people follow Shu Han.
The reason is very simple - all history is contemporary history.
As a result, the officials immediately paid attention to it.
Because, what Zhao Xin said, they could understand and understand, and even immediately started to associate it - if Liao and Xia merged, wouldn't they immediately be able to join forces with Sun and Liu of the Three Kingdoms, and have the same ability?
Stop Da Song in any direction?
Thinking of this, countless people broke into cold sweats, including Zhao Zhen.
The official immediately said: "No matter what, we must prevent the Liao people from getting closer to the Western thieves!"
Zhao Xin listened and sighed in his heart, realizing that his father was scared by him.
He quickly made up for it: "Ah Ye, if the Lord of Liao insists on joining forces with the Western bandits, Erlang thinks that simple concessions and compromises are of no use..."
If the insightful people of the Liao Kingdom realize that the current international situation requires the existence of the Xixia people to hold back the Song Dynasty and consume the Song Dynasty.
So, no matter how much you make concessions, you cannot change this situation.
Because that's their strategy!
Although the people of the Liao people, like the Song Dynasty, had begun to become civil servants, the current leader of the Liao Dynasty was also a person who was used to making decisions just by patting his butt.
But after all, the Liao people had more military vision and military strategic talents than the Song Dynasty.
You know, after the Chanyuan Alliance, the Song Dynasty was at peace.
But the people of Liao were not idle.
Yelu Longxu, the previous leader of the Liao Dynasty, turned around after the Chanyuan Alliance and pressed the Koreans to the ground and rubbed them for more than ten years.
The Liao army even entered Pyongyang, Xijing of Goryeo, and captured Kaesong, the royal capital of Goryeo.
The Daliao Iron Cavalry was wreaking havoc throughout the Korean Peninsula.
Many of the Liao generals who participated in the Goryeo War are still alive today.
"What should we do?" Zhao Zhen suddenly panicked after hearing this.
"Aye, if that's the case, you should take the strategy of diverting the disaster to the east..." Zhao Xin said softly: "When the Liao envoy comes, you can let the Liao envoy know that we have sent an envoy to Goryeo..."
"Then... use Goryeo as a bargaining chip to reach an agreement with the Liao people..."
"Huh?" Zhao Zhen didn't quite understand.
"Aye, our court can give up its support for Goguryeo as a descendant of Goguryeo, and admit that Goguryeo is dead as claimed by the Liao people. Goryeo is no more than a descendant of Silla, and has no right to claim the heritage of Goguryeo!"
For Liao, the Wang family's authority in Goryeo was a worry!
Starting from Yelu Abaoji, the Goryeo Wang family continued to invade and attack the Bohai territory controlled by the Liao Kingdom.
The Goryeo people even claimed that they were descendants of Goguryeo and should enjoy the rights to their old land in the Bohai Sea.
The Liao Kingdom was an invader who invaded their ancestral land.
In order to fight against the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty also supported Goryeo's demands based on the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend.
This made the Liao people very angry.
If the Liao people were still the nomadic people in the early days of the founding of the country, the Song court's support for Goryeo would probably be nothing more than nonsense.
But the problem is that today's Liao Kingdom has been Sinicized and considers itself China.
Song Ting's verbal support for Goryeo became disgusting.
Zhao Xin also felt disgusted.
Therefore, in his previous life, when he learned about this, he immediately wrote to the Lord of Liao on his own initiative, acknowledging all the Liao's statements about Goguryeo, and sent envoys to Goguryeo to order the Goguryeo people to give up all their unrealistic illusions.
The result was very touching - the Lord of Liao was overjoyed when he heard the news, and wrote a letter back praising Zhao Xin's behavior.
Then, the Liao Lord led two hundred thousand Liao troops and plunged into the quagmire of the Korean War.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Xin had enough space and time to destroy Xixia.
Of course, Zhao Xin didn't care about the Korean people's jumping and scolding.
Foot-washing maids in East Asia should have the consciousness of foot-washing maids.
Now, after living another life, Zhao Xin immediately sold Korea again without hesitation.
In fact, all his previous preparations were to sell Korea as soon as possible.
Selling Goryeo, allowing the Liao army to plunge into the quagmire of the Korean War more than ten years in advance, created a relaxed international environment for the Song Dynasty to deal with the Xixia issue.
In this way, the Song Dynasty destroyed Xixia and solved its own northwest border defense problem.
The Liao annexed North Korea and eliminated the thieves in the northeast who had been teasing and disgusting people. At the same time, they also dragged the Jurchens in the northeastern woods into the Korean War to serve as cannon fodder. This eliminated the opportunity for the Jurchens to rise in the future and solved the problem in one fell swoop.
All future historical issues related to Goguryeo and Goryeo.
