Kaide Mansion.

The former government office, now the deputy marshal's mansion.

After Zong Ze asked Zhao Gou to sit down, he said, "Has the incident of the King of Liaodong sent troops confirmed?"

Wang Boyan said: "Not only Deputy Marshal Zong is performing his duties as Deputy Marshal, but I am not slacking off. I have received accurate news that 30,000 to 40,000 Liangshan troops had landed in Dengzhou on December 7. At that time, the foolish people welcomed each other and ran around to tell me. On December 11, the Liangshan army crossed the Jiaolai River and advanced towards Qingzhou. On December 16, it arrived at Jingxi West Road. The marching speed was very fast. I am afraid that it would take ten days and half a month to reach Kaide Prefecture."

Huang Qianshan added: "Before we set off, some people learned that the Liangshan army had come to take advantage of the situation, and they rushed to Jingxi West Road to welcome the Liangshan army."

Speaking of this, Huang Qianshan said with a sad and angry look on his face: "Your Majesty works day and night for state affairs, but he doesn't want the people to abandon Your Majesty and welcome the King of Liaodong!"

Wang Boyan said: "Soon and later, the people will know who is orthodox. The most urgent thing is that we should think of solutions to the situation, resist the tiger in the front door and the wolf in the back door. At this critical moment, we must deal with it properly, otherwise we may lose the Song Dynasty for the past two hundred years."

Geng Yanxi thought for a while and said, "What about the trick of driving a tiger and swallowing a wolf?"

After the establishment of the Grand Marshal's Office, Zhao Gou appointed Geng Yanxi and Gao Shi as the senator; Zhang Xu, the direct scholar of Huiyou Pavilion, the direct transfer envoy of Hebei Metro Transport Envoy, and Huang Qianshan, the deputy envoy of Jingdong Transport Envoy of Zhilongtu Pavilion, was the deputy of the General Army; Liang Yangzu, the chief of the Xinde Prefecture of Huiyou Pavilion, was the commander of the military transportation envoy; Yang Yuan, Wang Qizhi, Qin Baixiang was the official office work; Lan Gui, Kang Lu, Li Qing, Yang Gongshu, and Han Gongyi were the responsible secret texts; Chen Sui, the chief officer of the Grand Marshal's Office of Wuxian, was the commander of the Grand Marshal's Office of Wuma; Madun Wulang, Zhao Jun and others were the commander of the central army; Liu Hao, the chief officer of Yizan, was the commander of the former army; Wuxian, Zhang Qiong, was the commander of the left army; Xiuwulang, Shang Gongxu, was the commander of the right army; Wang Xiaosi, the governor of Guozhou, was the commander of the rear army.

These people were also the basic team of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Everyone looked at Geng Yanxi, wanting him to tell me in detail how to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf?

Geng Yanxi actually didn't think about how to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf, so when everyone saw him, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Can we find a way to fight the Jin army and Liangshan army, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

Gao Shize shook his head and said, "The King of Liaodong arrived unannounced. It is likely that he has a tacit understanding with the Jin thieves. I dare to guess. Is it possible that the Jin thieves and the King of Liaodong are preparing to join forces to destroy our Song Dynasty?"

Gao Shize's guess made everyone's face look very bad!

Zhang Xu said: "We cannot scare ourselves. The King of Liaodong has always paid attention to justice. Back then, in order to kill each other without killing each other, the King of Liaodong was profitable by the Hu fisherman. The King of Liaodong handed over Yan Yun to our Song Dynasty. He accepted the title of the Emperor of Liaodong. Later, he sent troops to seize the Liaodong Peninsula of the Jin people, and almost went to full war with the Jin Kingdom, forcing the Emperor to death. Under such circumstances, the King of Liaodong is unlikely to collude with the Jin people."

Zhang Xu is a good person who is good at managing finances and discussing the benefits and interests of money and grain is like a hand. The Grand Marshal's Mansion can open and have the momentum of today, and his contribution is indispensable, so he still has a certain weight in his speech.

Huang Qianshan said: "If the King of Liaodong came to solve the danger of our Song Dynasty, it would never be possible to come unannounced. Now, without any notice, he sent tens of thousands of troops to advance quickly towards Tokyo, which would have an unspeakable purpose."

Unexpectedly, Zong Ze actually met Huang Qianshan and said, "Yes, you must not be optimistic about the King of Liaodong sending troops to advance to Tokyo."

Zhao Gou looked at Zong Ze and said, "The old general is really conscious."

Zong Ze said with a look of fear: "I have had a friend with the King of Liaodong. I know that this person is a hero of the world. You must not be careless when dealing with him!"

Chen Sui said: "But when the King of Liaodong broke through Dengzhou and imprisoned the deputy commander?"

Zong Ze said: "It was that time when the King of Liaodong wanted me to serve him, but I was not the two ministers of the corrupt body? Later, I killed the guard and fled from Dengzhou."

Liang Yangzu said: "I know this. At that time, the deputy commander sent several memorials, saying that the King of Liaodong would be a big problem and should be suppressed quickly. However, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others ignored it. They did not expect that the old general's words would come true. The King of Liaodong really became a big problem for our Song Dynasty. Now it seems that Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others are really a disaster for the country and the people, and they are not to be cherished!"

Zong Ze said: "It is meaningless to talk about this matter now. With my understanding of the King of Liaodong, his choice to send troops at this time will have far-reaching significance, and we must be careful."

After a pause, Zong Ze said, "In my opinion, we might as well take advantage of the Liangshan Army that has not arrived yet and send troops to Tokyo to lift the siege of Tokyo first, and then mobilize the whole country to drive both the Jin army and the Liangshan army out of our Song Dynasty."

Wang Boyan glanced at Zong Ze and said, "Deputy Marshal Zong actually wanted to use a mere 40,000 troops and incomplete armor to fight against the Jin Dynasty's more than 100,000 troops and the continuous army in Liaodong. It seems that the thirteen consecutive victories of the Jin people will make Deputy Marshal Zong feel full of confidence."

Zong Ze said: "Who said that our Song Dynasty only has 40,000 or 50,000 troops? Let's not talk about it. The North Road Chief Supervisor Zhao Ye, the West Road Chief Manager Wang Xiang, Fan Ne, the North Road Xuanfu Envoy Fan, and Zeng Mao, Zhixingren Prefecture. The three of them have 100,000 troops. As long as the Grand Marshal ordered them to send troops to rescue the capital, we are no longer inferior to the Jin army in terms of military strength. How can we not fight?"

Wang Boyan sneered: "These people you mentioned don't even listen to His Majesty's orders, how could they listen to King Kang's orders? It's a fool."

Zong Ze said angrily: "You..."

Wang Boyan ignored Zong Ze, but looked at Zhao Gou and said, "King, I suggest we go to Yingtian Prefecture, which is Nanjing of our Song Dynasty. The city is strong and the terrain is dangerous. You can attack and retreat or defend. There is a large and rich southern region behind it, which can support a million troops. As long as the king stands there, no matter the Jin people or the King of Liaodong, they dare not ignore the king. Perhaps, the danger in Tokyo will be resolved without a fight."

Huang Qianshan said: "Yes, the North Road Chief Supervisor Zhao Ye, the West Road Chief Supervisor Wang Xiang, the Hedong North Road Chief Xuanfu Envoy Fan Ne, and the Xingren Prefecture Zeng Mao were all in the south. When the king left, he could seize all his troops and soon he could grow stronger and recover lost territory. It was just around the corner."

Zong Ze said: "If you go to Yingtian Mansion, wouldn't you let the Jin thief go north?"

Wang Boyan smiled coldly and said, "You must be down-to-earth. Now the most important thing is to resolve the dangers of the Song Dynasty, rather than fighting with the Jin thieves to the end and being profited by the fisherman."

Zong Ze understood that the fisherman Wang Boyan mentioned was Li Yan.

To be honest, if Li Yan had not sent troops, Zong Ze would have definitely resisted the Jin Dynasty firmly.

But Li Yan's thrust into this strife made Zong Ze a little shaken!

Zong Ze was too afraid of Li Yan, even surpassing the Jin people.

In Zong Ze's view, the Jin people did not have the ability to subvert the Song Dynasty, but Li Yan had this ability Zong Ze was in Shandong and Hebei for many years and knew how high Li Yan's prestige was in these two places. The power of the Song Dynasty reached this point now. Therefore, if Li Yan came to Shandong and Hebei, these two places would fall into Li Yan's hands, and then...

Zong Ze didn't dare to think about what happened next, but hesitated and said, "Then let's hand over Shandong and Hebei?"

Seeing that Zong Ze, who was the most difficult to deal with, Wang Boyan's tone slowed down and said, "It's not about giving up, but about giving up a place to fight against the Jin army and the Liangshan army. After both of them are injured, we will come back to recover the lost land."

Although Zong Ze was in charge of the war, he also knew that it was impossible to defeat the Jin army or Liangshan army with the current military force. It was indeed a feasible way to withdraw Yingtian Palace and gather enough power and then come back to recover the country.

But the question is...what should the people in Tokyo Bianliang City do?
