"Your Majesty, what did Li Jing say in the good news?" Cai Jing finally whispered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, but soon thought of something, his face changed slightly, he grabbed the piece on the side, endured the anger in his heart, and when he saw the end, he couldn't help but read: "Chen Cheng is sincerely afraid, I deeply feel the kindness of Your Majesty, and I am willing to take Yanyun and congratulate Your Majesty!" This? What do you think? ”

For more than 100 years, the emperor of the Song Dynasty spent a lot of effort in order to seize the sixteen states of Yanyun, and he didn't know how many emperors died in regret, and even more than one emperor gave a posthumous photo, and the one who recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun was the king, and Zhao Ji was the same, and even secretly made a lot of preparations. Unexpectedly, now that someone is writing for himself and is willing to capture the sixteen states of Yanyun, he doesn't know what to do?

"How could Li Jing know that the imperial court is preparing to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun?" Yang Jian's cold eyes looked at Cai Jing and the others.

In February of the second year of Xuanhe, Zhao Ji sent Zhao Liangsi and other envoys to Jin. Nominally, it is still good to buy horses, but in fact, it is an appointment to attack Liao. Although I don't know the situation of Zhao Liangsi at this time, I don't know it, but I believe that the progress is relatively smooth, and the plan to attack Liao is about to be realized, but the relationship between Liao and the Great Song Dynasty is okay, plus this matter is also considered confidential, and the people in the court who know about this matter don't know, but Li Jing can smell a little smell from it, and suddenly some people suspect that this matter has been leaked, and Li Jing knows.

"What is Li Jing, he dares to think of attacking the sixteen states of Yanyun, and he is not afraid that the Liao people will destroy him." Tong Guan's face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but say loudly. Who is he, the person in charge of the Western Army, among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, who can capture the sixteen states of Yanyun, and who is there besides him? Li Jing is just a shit-like character, and he also wants to compete with him for credit, Tong Guanyan can not be angry.

"If Li Jing is really willing to subdue the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the minister thinks that this matter can be relieved." Zheng Juzhong suddenly said: "How is Li Jing's army, the ministers don't know, but the strength of the Liao State is very strong, it may not be possible to deal with the Jin army, but it is not necessarily impossible to deal with Li Jing's army, Li Jing's army and the Liao army are both defeated, that is naturally the end, not to mention, once Li Jing's army leaves the Hedong Road to attack the Liao State, the Hedong Road must be empty, at that time, it will be much easier to seize the Hedong Road." ”

"Hmmm! What Zheng Qing said is very true. After Zhao Ji heard this, his face suddenly showed a hint of satisfaction, nodded and said: "It's rare that Li Jing still has such a mind, if I don't agree, won't I disappoint the loyal generals?" Since he wants to be famous, then fulfill him. ”

"Your Majesty, attacking Liao at this time, will it be a surprise, there is no news on our side, when the Jin army will attack, when to besiege, and where to attack, these are all things to inquire clearly. Li Jing's loss of troops will be secondary, and the key is that the imperial court cannot be in a passive state. Su Yuanjing couldn't help but speak.

"The Liao State is too busy to take care of itself at this time, even the Kyoto has been lost, and the entire country has lost a lot, where do you still have the heart to deal with our dynasty, I am afraid that once Li Jing attacks, they will still think that our dynasty is preparing to attack the Liao country on a large scale." Cai Jing couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that at this time, Li Jing can attack, victory is of course a good thing, it indicates that the privy envoy can lead the army to attack Liao, if it fails, it means that the time for us to attack Liaoguo has not yet come, just wait for a while." ”

Cai Jing's words are to put it bluntly, let Li Jing act as a pawn, success is naturally a good thing, and if it is not successful, it does not matter. Zhao Ji nodded and said, "It's still the Taishi's thoughtfulness, since this is the case, let Li Jing attack Yunzhou and seize Yunzhou." ”

Zhao Ji's eyes showed a hint of pride, in his eyes, or in the eyes of the entire imperial court, the Liao State is very powerful, not the imperial court can fight against, Li Jing attacked the Liao State is asking for hardship, once the army is out of the customs, Hedong Road lacks army protection, the imperial court took advantage of the situation to enter Hedong Road, with Li Jing as the vanguard of the army, swept the Yunzhou he attacked.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji nodded again and again, the original dissatisfaction with Cai Jing disappeared without a trace, in the end, it was his confidant minister, who knew what he was thinking.

"The Liao Iron Cavalry is very strong, even if the forbidden army shoots, it may not be able to fight against the Liao Iron Cavalry, although Li Jing has some cavalry, but fighting on the grassland, it is definitely not good, although his northern army has as many as 100,000, entering the grassland is also the fate of being slaughtered, 100,000 troops go deep into Yunzhou, how much food does this need, Li Jing is self-defeating, I can't help but agree to him!" Zhao Ji touched his beard and said with a smile.

Cai Jing and the others nodded again and again, calling Zhao Ji Shengming.

"Your Majesty, since Li Jing has already made a move, the minister must also prepare to attack Yanyun." After Tong Guan heard this, his face changed, and he suddenly said: "Please Your Majesty take Li Jing as the vanguard and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun." ”

After Cai Jing heard this, the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a sneer, this eunuch is really not small, he actually wants to take Li Jing as the pioneer and himself as the handsome, seize the sixteen states of Yanyun, so as to seize the matter of the king, but I don't know if Li Jing will agree, so greedy, no wonder he is despised. It's just that this benefit can't be taken by you alone, and it is easy to be crowned king, doesn't it make me look too incompetent?

"The Western Army has been fighting all year round, from Hehuang to Jiangnan, with heavy losses, and is in urgent need of replenishing new soldiers, the minister thinks that the recovery of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures is very important, if the Western Army is used, I am afraid that things are a little inappropriate, the minister thinks that the forbidden army is not used all year round, gather the Beijing Division, and the training will inevitably be wasted, and the minister thinks that the forbidden army can be dispatched, so that the Western Army can return to the Guanzhong area to recuperate and replenish the soldiers." Su Yuanjing said suddenly.

When Tong Guan heard this, his eyes narrowed, he looked at Su Yuanjing, and saw that Su Yuanjing was not anything else, so he put his mind at ease, of course he knew the appearance of the Western Army, and what Su Yuanjing said also made some sense. Is it just that the forbidden army can be used? Tong Guan hesitated.

"What the captain said is very true, the western army is stationed in the area of Guanzhong, and the forbidden army is out of Youzhou, and when the Yanyun battle is almost there, the western army will go north and enter Hedong Road, so that Li Jing will definitely be caught off guard." Cai Jing hurriedly said.

"Okay, since that's the case, let Tong Guan lead the forbidden army of 200,000 to attack Youzhou, and let Li Jing lead the army of 100,000 to attack Yunzhou." Zhao Ji thought about it and agreed with everyone's opinions, and even let go of his dislike for Li Jing, as long as he could capture the sixteen states of Yanyun, Zhao Ji decided to let Li Jing live for a while longer.

"Yes." The ministers answered.

So, in the autumn of the second year of Xuanhe, a holy decree fell into the city of Taiyuan, and the huge battle of attacking Liao kicked off, and the war was ignited instantly.
