Hu, Luo Qinghan, Zhe Keke three people's heartbeats violently, but Zhe Yanzhi's t]

Zhe Yanzhi's Bian Jing strategy was thrilling. If successful, it would not only reverse the unfavorable position of the warrior, but also shake the foundation of the founding of the Song Dynasty. The consequences were very, very amazing.

"Before this, the power struggle and the imperial throne struggle in Bianjing had nothing to do with us, but as long as the prime minister and the northwest generals joined, the power struggle in Bianjing would evolve into a battle between the emperor, civil officials and military generals. The emperor was therefore passive. In order to reverse the situation, the emperor would 'believe' the prime minister, give the prime minister 'trust', and give the military generals power and status, thus forcing the civil officials to bow their heads and give concessions."

"With the emperor's 'trust', we will definitely win the Western Expedition, because if we lose this battle, the emperor will bow his head to concessions to the civil officials, and the proposal of abolishing the legitimate and establishing the concubine will be abandoned from then on. This is something that the arrogant emperor cannot tolerate at all."

"Li Gang and Yu Wen Xuzhong were both civil officials in Bian Jing, and they were basically honest and upright civil officials. At the banquet, I took the initiative to suggest that the envoys support the emperor in order to depose the legitimate and establish the illegitimate concubines, just to test them. If they strongly oppose it, then the civil officials in the Bian Jing court who were proud, powerful, and corrupt and incompetent, would even object even more. This would lead to the situation we want, and we could promote the situation in Bian Jing in a direction that would be beneficial to us."

Li Hu felt a little suffocated. The Zhe Yanzhi in front of him was as powerful as his appearance, with a strong aura and a deep cunning person. Such a person would stop without taking action. Once he took action, he would cause heavy damage. This strategy is beneficial to the Hulie Mansion, but it is more beneficial to the Zhe family. The Zhe family has achieved their goals step by step with the help of the Hulie Mansion. Zhe Yanzhi's ultimate goal is probably to be the second vassal state in the northwest.

Zhe Keqiu finally let out a sigh. Zhe Yanzhi finally chose the Zhe family instead of himself. Zhe Yanzhi is a whole, prospering and losing both. However, Zhe Yanzhi has not figured out such a simple truth. He has been in Bianjing for too long, and his mind has been blinded by power and has almost lost himself. Fortunately, Bianjing drove him out this time, giving him the opportunity to make a new choice.

"Where will the plan come out?" Li Hu asked.

"First of all, the minister must be clear, that is, if the situation in Bianjing is not conducive to us, the Western Expedition cannot begin and the war cannot be fought." Zhe Yan said directly.

"You mean, Yunnei and Tiande Army cannot fight?" Luo Qinghan asked hurriedly.

"There is no need to fight at all." Zhe Yan said straight. "We have recovered Yanyun. The Liao Dynasty has been defeated. The Jin Kingdom has not yet conquered the desert and unified the north. The current terrain is extremely unfavorable to Xixia." Zhe Yan looked at Li Hu and asked straight. "If you were the Emperor of Xixia, what countermeasures would you take now?"

Li Hu thought for a moment and said, "Contract the defense. Before the Song Dynasty recovered Youyan, the Xixia people had to attack Daibei with all their strength. But unfortunately, they failed. Moreover, the Khitans quickly threw away Youyan, which caused the Xixia people to launch a second attack to lose time. In the current situation, their best way is to shrink the defense."

"Yes, the only way for the people of Xixia is to move from attack to defense." Zhe Yan said directly. "The reason why the people of Xixia fought with us for decades was that they adopted the strategy of uniting Liao to resist the Song Dynasty. In order to drag the Song army to the northwest battlefield for a long time, the Liao Dynasty also provided Xixia with continuous assistance.

Now, the Great Liao is defeated. The Jin Kingdom has not unified the north. The basic strategy of the Western Xia people to fight against the Great Song Dynasty cannot be implemented. Their land is just around the corner. Since this is the case, is it necessary to make the prime minister anxious to expedition the west?" Zhe Yan asked directly. "In the Western Expedition, we can only win but not lose. Therefore, we must make sufficient preparations. We will win in one battle. Therefore, it is quite urgent to not launch the Western Expedition. Instead, we will solve the Bianjing area first."

"What do you mean is that the people of Xixia will withdraw from Daibei and return the Yunnei and Tiande Army to us?" Luo Qinghan asked again.

"This is inevitable." Zhe Yan said straight. "You are not familiar with the Northwest, nor are you familiar with the Dangxiang people. But we are familiar with them. We even maintain close contact with some Dangxiang people in Xingqing Prefecture. In our opinion..." Zhe Yan pointed to Zhe Keqiu around him. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "The Xixia people are about to change their strategies. They will withdraw from Daibei and send envoys to discuss peace with Huliu Mansion. They try to form an alliance with you and fight against the Song Dynasty together."

"Party discussion?" Li Hu sneered, "What conditions do he have to discuss peace agreement?"

"If the people of Xixia knew that the Prime Minister and the Bian Jing were incompatible, and knew that the Bian Jing forced the Prime Minister out of Yanjing, and knew that Bian Jing had established a huge garrison army in Youyan, which made the Prime Minister's survival crisis full of dangers, the people of Xixia would have the conditions to discuss peace with the Prime Minister."

Li Hu frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Zhe Keqiu, "Are you planning to send the news to Xingqing Mansion?"

"Of course." Zhe Keqiu said with a laugh, "The relationship between the Zhe family and Xingqing Mansion is to take each of them. At present, the peace alliance between Song and Xia is still valid. The Zhe family secretly mediated from it, which is not considered betrayal of Bian Jing."

"Are you sure the Xixia people will return the Tiande Army and Yunnei?" Li Hu asked.

"The cloud will definitely return it, it's what they took from you

The German army is not necessarily the case, it was given to them by the Emperor of the Great Liao." In fact, I think it doesn't matter whether or not to occupy the Tiande army immediately, it will not affect the overall situation of the Western Expedition."

Li Hu thought for a moment and looked at Luo Qinghan. Luo Qinghan nodded slightly, thinking that Zhe Yanzhi's suggestion could be adopted.

"Okay, I will pull the army to the Jinhe River and confront the Xixia army across the river, and I won't fight for the time being." Li Hu asked, "How to solve the problem in Bianjing?"

"The most critical thing about Bian Jing is Prince Yun. As long as the prime minister forms an alliance with Prince Yun, we can control the development of the situation in Bian Jing." Zhe Yan said directly.

"I want to send someone to Bianjing?"

"Yes, send someone to Bianjing immediately." Zhe Yan said directly, "The envoy took advantage of the opportunity of Bianjing and Hulie Mansion to shake hands and make peace, and sent someone to Bianjing to thank the emperor, and then took my letter to visit the king. I will reveal some secrets in the letter and tell him the secret support of Cai Jing and Zheng Juzhong to let him know that it is very difficult for him to enter the Eastern Palace. At this time, the envoy can take the opportunity to make a statement, saying that the envoy is willing to help Prince Yun enter the Eastern Palace, and the solution is to ask Prince Yun to preside over the Western Expedition to make the envoy to Taiyuan, so that Prince Yun is willing to recover the western frontier under the command of Prince Yun."

"This statement is equivalent to telling Prince Yun that he is willing to give him the achievements of regaining the western border. In order to enter the Eastern Palace, Prince Yun tried every means. Now he suddenly has such an opportunity, so of course he is not willing to miss it. He will write to me to ask how likely the Western Expedition is. I will explain the situation in the north in detail, tell him that the Western Expedition has an absolute chance of winning, and ask him to go to the northwest to preside over the military."

"According to the Song system, the royal family was not allowed to take actual positions or lead the army. Prince Yun thought of coming to the northwest, and there was a great resistance.

This can be seen from the Northern Expedition that if Prince Yun arrived in Hebei successfully, the one who conquered Yanjing would not be the Prime Minister, but the Prince Yun. Therefore, Prince Yun had to set up another way to the northwest, and first went to Taiyuan in the name of appeaseing Yunzhonglu."

"The emperor loved Prince Yun very much. He would not let Prince Yun take risks in Datong. At most, he would stop when he went to Taiyuan. After the king arrived in Taiyuan, he would send blind dates to Taiyuan to meet. I would also rush to Taiyuan. Let us offer the strategy to enter the Eastern Palace to the king. Then he would report to the emperor and forcefully demand that Prince Yun be the Grand Marshal of the Northwest Army."

"In the eyes of the civil officials in Bianjing, this was a vassal state interfering in politics, which was something they could not tolerate. The emperor was most concerned about the deposed legitimates and vassal states. As long as he had the opportunity to let Prince Yun enter the Eastern Palace, he was willing to take this risk. From the facts, there was no direct connection between asking Prince Yun to go to the northwest to preside over military affairs and vassal states to interfere in politics. The reaction of the civil officials was obviously too much."

"The emperor has done more than once to abolish the law because of Prince Yun. He doesn't care more than once, but he also doubts that the Western Expedition cannot win. After all, the Song Dynasty and Xixia have fought for decades and are still unable to defeat the Dangxiang people. This is also a fact."

"At this time, I will join forces with the Northwest Generals and submit a joint report to the emperor to ensure that the Western Expedition can be won and ensure that Prince Yun can achieve his achievements."

"As long as the emperor issues an order to ask Prince Yun to preside over the military in the northwest, the western expedition will receive the full support of the emperor. We can then go around the east and west palaces through the king and obey the emperor's orders directly." Zhe Yan looked at Li Hu and Luo Qinghan and asked, "Do you know what this means?"

Both Li Hu and Luo Qinghan knew that this meant that the east and west governments could no longer interfere in the battlefield, and the terrible scene of the Northern Expedition would not repeat itself. The Western Expedition basically achieved half the chance of winning. More importantly, it meant that the Hulie Prefecture and the Northwest General Gate, as a powerful force, entered the center of the Song Dynasty and influenced the decisions of the Song Dynasty.

The two of them admired Zhe Yan very much. The people who came out of the center of Bianjing were powerful. This plan completely reversed the situation in the northwest and successfully achieved the purpose of the Hulie Mansion and the Zhe family. More importantly, it had a profound impact and might change the national policy of the Song Dynasty.

"This is our idea and our plan, but the emperor and Prince Yun have their own intentions, and the civil officials of Bianjing will counterattack wildly. No one can predict whether the situation in Bianjing will eventually advance along our idea." Zhe Yanzhi's cold face showed a hint of worry, "So, we cannot launch a rash Western Expedition now. We must ensure our strength, ensure that we will not fall into the trap set by Bianjing, and ensure that we have the power to fight back."

"The outcome of a war does not depend on the battlefield, nor on the strategy of the generals and the courage of the soldiers, but on the court and the national policy." Zhe Yanzhi picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go. "We are all people on the battlefield. We are very far away from the court and national policy. If we want to take charge of our own destiny, we must firmly control the court and national policy."

Li Hu and Luo Qinghan looked at each other and thought of the letter of Zhe Keqiu. Now it seems that the meaning expressed by Zhe Keqiu in that letter is true. The generals in the northwest are indeed very eager to control the court, control the national policy, and then change their destiny. Li Hu's sudden arrival gave them the opportunity to realize this dream.
