Xiao Cheng wanted to encourage the circulation of goods in this way.

Xiao Cheng didn't pay too much attention to the current attack launched by the puppet Qi and the puppet Zhao.

Now that he is launching the Northern Expedition and launching a large-scale war against Liao, he is indeed more motivated than capable.

But just defending the current border is more than enough.

Xiao Cheng could even pat his chest and say that if he wanted to, he could recapture Kaifeng now, and it would not be impossible to send the traitor Qu Zhen to Caishikou and chop off his head with a knife.

It's just that he doesn't want to do it yet.

Although the existence of Puppet Zhao and Puppet Qi was a scar on the face of the Song Dynasty, it was also a buffer zone between the southern regime and the Liao Kingdom.

Now the Liao Kingdom is still driving the puppet Zhao and Qi to attack the Song Dynasty. Once the Song Dynasty defeats these two puppet regimes, it will directly confront the Liao people. The intensity of the war will be completely different.

Xiao Cheng did not have the confidence to start a full-scale war with Liao at this time.

Military reports from the front are being delivered to Xiao Cheng's desk every day on an eight-hundred-mile rush.

The battle situation on the front line has stabilized and entered a stalemate stage.

Once it reaches the stage of stalemate, the other party will not be able to persist for a long time.

Because they have no money and no food.

The support the Liao Kingdom gave them was limited and came at a price.

To the people of Liao, Puppet Qi and Puppet Zhao were nothing more than consumables.

The memorials from Qinfeng Road and Yizhou Road brought a smile to Xiao Cheng's face.

Yizhou Governor Li Shilong and Qin Fenglu's pacification envoy Li Chunfeng finally made it clear that the carriage and horse were no longer warm.

Perhaps they also saw that after the Jiangning court established a foothold, it became increasingly powerful and had the power to fight the Liao people, so they no longer sat on the fence and waited and watched.

After all, if one really defected to the Liao people, although glory and wealth would be inevitable, infamy would also be inevitable.

Now that the Song Dynasty has calmed down, it is natural that he must continue to be a loyal minister and filial son of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Shilong sent an army across the Qinling Mountains and launched an attack on Hanzhong.

Li Chunfeng also sent a large army to attack Fengxiang Mansion under the control of the puppet Jin Dynasty, which occupied part of the Shaanxi-Gansu Road. At the same time, Zhang Yunsheng, the general of the Western Army who was stationed in Luowu Town, also sent troops out of Hengshan to attack Fenzhou.

Suddenly, the puppet Jin Dynasty was attacked from three sides.

Although this attack was more symbolic, Yeluzhen, the king of Zhennan in the Liao Kingdom of Jijin Mansion, had to respond.

Because he cannot make a strong response and cannot give strong support to the puppet Jin Liu Quanyi, then this three-pronged attack is likely to turn from false to real.

Once Liu Quanyi of the Jin State suffered a complete defeat and lost part of the Shaanxi-Gansu and Hedong areas under his control, the Southern Song Dynasty would be completely connected with the Western Army. At this time, the financial resources of the Southern Song Dynasty and the bravery of the Western Army

If the good warriors are combined, the Liao Kingdom will be in greater trouble.

Therefore, compared to Qu Zhen, it is obvious that the safety of Jin is more important.

The existence of the Jin State cut off the connection between the Western Army and the Southern Song Dynasty. At the same time, it also made Li Chunfeng on the Qinfeng Road half-hearted and would not put in all his efforts.

After the initial period of embarrassment, Gao Yingxiang, who was traveling in the east, finally recovered.

Zhong Wuping's navy, which was active in Nansi Lake, and Shi Congming's navy, which entered the Huaihe River Basin, took turns to attack, causing panic in Qi State.

The Qi land suffered disasters, the war was not going well, and the people rioted, one after another surrendered. After Zhong Wuping obtained a large amount of food from Gao Yingxiang, he recruited troops aggressively to expand his strength. He was no longer willing to stay in Nansi Lake.

, but began to establish a base on the land. Now it has occupied several counties.

Because there is a navy as a guarantee, Qi's invasion and suppression has no focus at all. If you have more people, he will get on the boat and run away. If you have fewer people, he will be able to rely on the convenience of the navy to get around you.

They will surround you from behind and swallow you whole.

Even though there were thousands of Liao cavalry helping to fight, Qi felt that it was unable to cope with the situation and was unable to sustain its strength.

"There should be one last attempt!" Looking through the intelligence collected from various places, Xiao Cheng said to Lu Wenhuan: "This war will definitely end in anticlimax, but I think Ye Luzhen will not be willing to end like this.

So, they choose a place and concentrate all their strength to fight a big one, what if they win?"

"It's possible!" Lu Wenhuan said: "If there really is such a war, then I think they will choose Teng County, Qi State. After all, Zhong Wupian is already quite large there. This is deeply rooted in Qi State.

A thorn in the side of the country.”

Xiao Cheng shook his head: "No, they are attacking Teng County on a large scale. Zhong Wuping will run away, and they will gain nothing. But as soon as their army withdraws, Zhong Wuping will go again. It is obvious that the effort is in vain.

,So, they will definitely choose a place where we cannot make concessions.”

"Suixian!" Lu Wenhuan looked at the map and said.
