Not to mention that Lehe was in the clouds at this time, even Wang Lun, who knew five hundred years ago and a thousand years later, had a little guess about the situation. After all, everything that happened now has become increasingly different from before.

Just talk about Tian Hu, when facing the Liangshan Army who was recruited by the court in its original trajectory, he had no idea where he got the confidence and was completely waiting for the emperor to deliver vegetables. It was not until his generals were defeated that Tian Hu came back to his senses and wanted to Beitou, but he did not know that he had not made the journey in the end and was then wiped out by Liangshan.

To be honest, the pseudo-Jin State at this time was much more arrogant than before. Although a Wang Lun rose on this world-green forest road, the attractiveness of Shuibo Liangshan was unprecedentedly powerful, so powerful that many real heroes could not refuse.

But it also played a counter-effect, that is, the tough Liangshan also indirectly forced the sediment in the green forest to the other three enemy forces. So Tian Hu, who was still dreaming, did not know that he actually took a big advantage. Although he lost the pillars of Sun An, Bian Xiang and others, the fish and shrimps he caught were more than 100,000 more than before.

With more minions, the momentum naturally became bigger. The pseudo-Jin, which was only a few states in the past, almost occupied the entire Hedong. The Northern Han, who had established a country in Hedong and competed for hegemony with the Song Dynasty, was not as strong as that of his territory at the peak of Tian Hu.

Therefore, even though the Western Army destroyed and recovered lost lands at a speed that was better than Liangshanpo after the recruitment, it still left enough reaction time for Tian Hu, so a foreign cavalry that had never appeared in the history of Hedong appeared mysteriously.

As for the emergence of this cavalry and the future changes to the national policy of the Song Dynasty, Wang Lun was also a little unsure. Therefore, the intelligence personnel "Jingzhe", who was unaware of Lehe, was urgently activated, which was enough to reflect Wang Lun's inner vigilance at this time.

Unfortunately, all he can do now is to wait. Wait for more and more real information to support his judgment, in order to keep the pulse of Liangshanpo's future.

Almost at the same time, the highest leadership of the Song Empire in the Tokyo Palace, which is not far from the intersection of Quyuan Street, was also conducting emergency consultations on the war in Hedong.

"I know he can!"

With a "clang", an inkstone with extraordinary appearance was smashed hard onto the imperial stairs. The artist Emperor Zhao Ji rarely had such a loss of composure. Of course, the root of this extreme emotion was obviously not because of the death of the imperial chief Liu Yanqing.

"At this point, I still tell me what is the Liao cavalry not scary. They can gather and annihilate them every night! Is this the matter of thousands of cavalry? After all, this is a question of whether the Song and Liao countries can maintain the status quo!"

This was a small secret room meeting. The only participants were Cai Jing, the powerful prime minister who was the head of all officials, Duan Chang, the former infantry general who was promoted because of Gao Qiu's "faithful death" and Wang Xiang, who was in charge of the Privy Council. Compared with these three important officials in the court, the appearance of a small person present seemed a bit abrupt. He was Zhao Liangsi, the secretary-general who was given to the country by Zhao Ji.

Such an irrelevant person is really strange to the same as the three important officials present. Although this person is not a big figure in the Song Dynasty, he is by no means simple. He once had another identity, namely Guangluqing of the Liao Kingdom, which shows that he once had a good starting point, after all, he had a third-rank salary. However, as a Han Chinese, he seemed to have no sense of belonging to the Liao Kingdom. While Tong Guan was on his way to Liao Kingdom, he secretly offered a feasibility plan to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and thus gained Tong Guan's trust. He secretly led him to the Song Dynasty and changed his name "Ma Zhi" to Li Liangsi. Later, Zhao Ji "Jia" was given the surname Zhao, and the current Zhao Liangsi was given.

From this, after arriving in the Song Dynasty, he tried his best to dig a hole for the Liao Kingdom. He was definitely not a spy from the Khitans, so Zhao Ji called him here today when he was re-setting the tone of the Song-Liao relations.

As soon as Zhao Ji got angry just now, the old foxes present did not fan the flames. The Taiwei Duan Chang was the commander of the Imperial Army who replaced Gao Qiu, and his natural position was somewhat inclined to compete with the Privy Council. Otherwise, his position would be unstable for two days, and Zhao Ji would never tolerate his troops and Guan Yin getting together. Even when Gao Qiu was alive, he would also show his independence and reserve from time to time to show his independence and restraint towards the mother.

Wang Xiang, who was in charge of the Privy Council, was Tong Guan's deputy. Although he was a military officer, he was a thorough civil servant. Before he was transferred here, he was the Minister of Personnel. At first glance, he was an old official with extraordinary skills. Zhao Ji transferred him to the Privy Council, and first, he squeezed into the ranks of prime ministers, and secondly, he had the idea of ​​imitating Tong Guan's dominance. From this, it can be seen that this person is unlikely to be Tong Guan's party member.

Cai Jing will not talk about it. He has been fighting hard and not lively over the years. The grudges and hatreds between the two male (master) and mother (master) cannot be simply attributed to the simple concept of "the treacherous ministers are all in the same group". In the short term, after all, they are all gods in the minds of their respective parties. It is impossible to not collide in order to compete for limited court resources. In the short term, you manage the people and I manage the army, and both are trusted by the officials. They are all people who are used to being strong. Even if they are tolerant of small matters, the ruling philosophy cannot be without differences.

Therefore, none of these three people can be Tong Guan’s best friends.

But just when the officials were furious, they did not come up to beat the dogs in pain, but instead looked at their noses and their hearts and entered into a state of meditation. After venting, Zhao Ji's tone was a little relaxed: "Three thousand Liao cavalry is no problem, and I also believe that Tong Guan will not deceive me! But will there be another three thousand after three thousand? Will Liao continue to send troops? Will our battle in Hedong eventually evolve into a national war with Liao? My dear friends, let me tell you what you think!"

"The Liao Kingdom sent troops to Hedong, and this move was deeply ill-intentioned. The old ministers thought that the Khitans simply wanted to reproduce the old story of the Xia thief's independence from the rebel thief Tian Hu, in an attempt to restrain and consume our country. The matter is very important, and I hope Your Majesty will treat it carefully!" Wang Xiang first replied, "Since the Khitans have such sinister intentions and ignore the century-long diplomatic relations between the two countries, they must not let their detectives know that there is a huge bandit in Jingdong's territory stronger than Tian Hu, otherwise the capital will be in peace!"

Wang Xiang's words made Zhao Ji think of something. His face, which had just been relieved, turned twisted again. Fortunately, he did not continue to smash the inkstone and breathe. He just looked at the map on the imperial desk with great disgust, and looked directly at the Jingdong Dabo, who had been beaten by the imperial pen for so many times.

"Your Majesty, please be cautious when going to war with the Liao Kingdom! The imperial court has used too frequently in recent years. Although the military capital is still abundant, the accumulated losses of the soldiers are huge and it is gradually insufficient to use them." Duan Chang gritted his teeth and said, "It is said that if you are not in charge of the family, you don't know that the food, rice, oil and salt are expensive. In the past, Gao Qiu was holding on to the front, but he didn't feel that it was his turn to lead the family, and only then did he realize that this foundation was already full of holes.

"The court has repeatedly used troops to the Xia Kingdom. Zhong Shidao and Liu Fa each led 100,000 troops. They have been suppressing the Xia thieves from the east and west lines for more than a year. They are currently in a tug-of-war situation. The court in the previous period of the imperial court attacked Tian Hu and drew tens of thousands of Western troops from the front line to advance east. The two generals have begun to complain and want to mobilize troops again, for fear of affecting the war on the Western Front. If the war in Hedong expands, Your Majesty will inevitably make adjustments to the war on the Xia Kingdom, otherwise our Song Dynasty will be in a dilemma of fighting on two or even three lines!"

"Although the Western Army was held back by the Xia thieves, can't the Hebei, Jingdong, and Jingxi dispatch troops? There are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the capital, so can't we share the worries of the country!" Zhao Ji, the hand-off manager, is definitely Wang Lun's idol, and he doesn't even know how many families he has left.

As the new chief general of the palace, Duan Chang felt it was necessary to make a secret with the official family, otherwise there would be no soldiers available in the future, which would lead to a disaster. Wouldn't this bet be on him? Taking the blame for the dead ghost Gao Qiu, this is undoubtedly the stupidest and most unfair thing.

"In the past three years, the imperial court has repeatedly dispatched the imperial guards in Hebei, Hedong and the capital to conquer Liangshan. There are few victories and achievements, and the loss of soldiers and generals has repeatedly lost their power! The bandits of Liangshan alone will destroy me by no less than 200,000 officers and soldiers. In Jingdong and Hebei, many prefectures have generals but no soldiers, and they have become empty... "

"Enough!" Zhao Ji shouted loudly, interrupting Duan Chang's complaint. Although the other party's numbers were so conservative that they could no longer be conservative, they still stimulated Zhao Ji, who had always praised himself as a saint, and that he had always been kind, and he repeatedly lost his composure at this time.

Everyone present was old foxes. They knew that Duan Chang had no choice but to tell the truth, but they didn't have to take the blame. Therefore, they were unwilling to get into the bad temper of the official family at this time, and the atmosphere on the scene fell into a cold silence.

I really don’t know that the situation is so serious that it is so serious. Just a Liangshan alone can make the court have nowhere to talk to him. Even if the emperor is angry, it seems that there will be no actual effect.

In addition, the Western Front battlefield is also a meat grinder. Song and Xia have long built a village and I will fight, and I will nail a nail. It is common for thousands of casualties to be killed or killed in a small-scale battle. The two sides are fighting a war of attrition, not a decisive battle. In the long run, losses will not be small.

In addition, Tian Hu, the bandit, also said that he was called the destiny and forced the surrendered soldiers. Hundreds of thousands of people were bandits. No matter how much the imperial army played the sings of triumph, the losses could not be ignored. Just say that Liu Yanqing led the 4,000 Western troops to fall together, it was a humiliating defeat.

That's the Western Army!

Even Zhao Ji knew that compared to other imperial guards from all walks of life, this group could be said to be able to at least one elite existence with two or three. Four thousand people were wiped out in this way. How could he not feel hurt?

"Recruitment! Recruitment!"

Four words finally burst out from Zhao Ji's mouth. The first two words have no special meaning. It is just common sense to recruit soldiers if there is a lack of military resources. However, the last two words have changed the fate of many people. Among them, there is a big man named everyone on the Green Forest Road who was stunned to take the opportunity to wash it off.
