Zhong Jianzhong withdrew to Lingzhou and did not continue his attack. After the subsequent troops came up, his cavalry began to withdraw from the front line and prepare to return to Beijing.

The strategic purpose of the Song Dynasty was very clear, which was to force Chage to return to the army. Xixia could not support the Liao Kingdom, so that the Liao internal chaos would continue to grow.

Now that Brother Cha is back, losing the barrier of Lingzhou, Xixia definitely dares not let the army leave Xingqing Prefecture!

The goal has been achieved!

When Zhong Jianzhong left Lingzhou, Xixia breathed a sigh of relief, but there was also fierce debate inside.

Some people insist on using a large army to retake Xiping Prefecture, otherwise the Daxia Kingdom would be in peace.

Some people proposed to negotiate with the Song Dynasty, agreed to abide by the alliance, and redeem Lingzhou for huge sums of money.

Some people even proposed to move the capital to Liangzhou to calm the hearts of all subjects in the world.

The Xixia court officials argued endlessly, and few people knew that Li Ganshun suddenly became seriously ill and fell into a coma.

In Xingqing Mansion, there was a sudden news about the 'brother and brother, Cha Ge Deng'.

For a moment, Xingqing Mansion was in chaos, and monsters and monsters emerged.

...

Zhao Xu, who was in Chenqiao Town, was in a good mood after receiving the great victory in Zhongjianzhong. He walked among the fields and looked at the fields that had just been sown. He smiled and said, "Chenqiao Town is still doing very well. I heard that their land acre division has been completed?"

Zhang Feng and Xu followed Zhao Xu, all the things they thought about were all about.

Hearing Zhao Xu's words, Zhang Feng didn't say anything, Xu Jiang smiled and said, "The official family is not just Chenqiao Town, but Kaifeng Prefecture will be basically completed by the end of the year. Next year, we can continue to implement the 'new law' to all walks of life in the north."

What Xu Jiang said was the ‘north’, not the full resurgence.

Zhao Xu stood in a place, looking at the dry water in the channel, and said, "After Lingzhou is down, the Xia people should be safe for several years. By the way, what do you think of the memorial of Zhong Jianzhong?"

Zhang Qi stood behind Zhao Xu and thought, "The government has a turmoil in Liao, which will bring great benefits to our Song Dynasty. Our dynasty defeated the Xia people and caused the Liao Kingdom to lose face. Once they freed up their hands, the north will be uneasy. I agree with the intention of Jianzhong."

General Xu pondered and said, "The officials not only sent troops to sneak into the Liao Kingdom to support various rebels, but also should focus on arming and guiding their actions! The Khitan was established earlier than ours and was corrupt inside. If they could bribe important officials of the Liao Kingdom's court, they might benefit more from it!"

With capable ministers around you, you can really lose a lot of thoughts. Zhao Xu smiled with satisfaction, was full of confidence and said, "So, the mutual market must be achieved and the gap in the Liao Kingdom must be opened!"

General Xu's expression was slightly shocked, and finally understood Zhao Xu's intention of "trading with each other", and raised his hand and said, "Officials, I am willing to take a trip to Liao Kingdom to Beijing in person."

Zhao Xu quickly waved his hand to stop him and said, "Your family cannot go, what if you don't come back? Isn't Chen Xian already in Beijing? Let me write to him, tell him the specific situation, and give him tasks. First, trade with each other. Second, people who should meet should meet. Third, give him permission. As my special envoy, you can make careful decisions on some things."

General Xu wrote it down carefully, then glanced at Zhang Qing and said, "The official family, Mr. Chen is the man of Shangshu Wang. His position has always been quite old-fashioned. I wonder if he can shoulder the heavy responsibilities."

Zhao Xu was also thoughtful and said, "Look first, Li Xia is basically in trouble. Next, we will defend against the Liao Kingdom strategically, and develop to the south, northwest and southeast. On the other hand, our Yanhuang hometown in Tubo, we will take back what we should get back, especially some strategic areas. Dali and Tubo are too close to each other, so we should beat them. The rise of maritime trade requires more encouragement, and the sea must be restricted and protected, and the navy must prepare carefully..."

Zhang Feng, Xu General bowed and listened respectfully. Although the officials were talking in a mess, they were actually giving them some focus. This is an important national policy after the change of the Ring Road next year!

Zhao Xu spoke intermittently for a while, then looked towards Kaifeng City, his eyes slowly narrowed, his hands were raised, and said lightly: "I will arrive in Beijing on the sixth day of the 10th."

Zhang Feng, Xu Jiang looked at each other, and the two of them had a hint of solemn expression, and they bowed and said, "I will receive the order."

Zhao Xu's thoughts turned from the north to Kaifeng City. What kind of plot is being performed now?

Zhao Xu smiled in his heart and continued to move forward, saying: "The military reform needs to be further deepened, including military titles, ranks, military system, number, deployment, commander and military-civilian relations, etc. The Privy Council and the Ministry of War must come up with a whole charter, not to deviate from my considerations. Some of your ideas are too old and you must be brave enough to break through, not to be self-confidenced and trap a corner..."

Zhang Feng and Xu Jiang bowed and did not answer the conversation immediately.

The idea of ​​the official in front of him greatly broke through the "ancestral system" and almost completely denied the military system since the founding of the Song Dynasty. This is not only a system reform, but also an unprecedented impact on people's hearts!

"Checks and Balances" are the foundation of the founding of the Song Dynasty. It is everywhere and has been throughout a hundred years. However, the official in front of him broke all these "Checks and Balances" and continued to centralize power upward, which is difficult for the Song people to accept.

The official in front of him was wise and decisive. He had just defeated Xixia and had unprecedented prestige. How many people could resist his words?

Zhang Feng and General Xu expressed many different opinions on Zhao Xu either tactfully or directly or indirectly, but they were ignored or refuted by Zhao Xu.

'I hope Mr. Zhang can have a solution.' Xu ​​Jiang said silently in his heart.

"Military Reform" concerns the country and society, and there should not be any carelessness.

The tragedy of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is still tingling and terrifying whenever I think of it.

While Zhang Ju, Xu Jiang and others were thinking hard, Chen Jun, the Minister of Works, had already arrived in Shangjing.

He was facing questions from the new Minister of War of Liao Kingdom Xiao Tiancheng, and the many swords and axes outside.

Xiao Tiancheng's face was gloomy and angry. He stared at Chen Zhen and shouted: "Mr. Chen, this is not the first time you and me have been dealing with each other. Your country is untrustworthy. Is it targeting Li Xia or for me? Do you really think that I, Da Liao, can you bully me?"

This is the Honglu Temple of Liao Kingdom. Chen Xian sat on a chair. Behind him were officials of all levels who came this time. Many of them looked pale, trembling, and fearful.

If this is a disagreement, they may explain it here in this country of tigers and wolves!

Chen Zhen was so happy that he was not afraid of such a situation and sneered: "Shangshu Xiao would turn the tables! What did the conspiracy say? Xia Liao is the relationship between a father-in-law and son-in-law, and I am the lord of the Song Dynasty. The Xia people should report to me every move, and I have to my emperor's permission! As soon as the conspiracy was signed, you, Liao, will the Xia people instruct you to help you suppress the rebellion in Liao. I want to ask, Shangshu Xiao, are you attacking Li Xia or I attacking my Song Dynasty?"

Xiao Tiancheng's face was gloomy and his murderous intent was not concealed at all.

In the original plan of the Liao Kingdom, Chage's 50,000 army had already arrived behind Basi's mother's army. The Liao Dynasty also mobilized 300,000 troops to be encircled and completely eliminated the rebels!

However, unexpectedly, the Song people suddenly made a move. Chage's 50,000 army was forced to return to the army. Basi's mother's army retreated calmly. His 300,000 army of the Great Liao Dynasty formed a joke!

A large army of 300,000 will consume countless food and grass every move. Over the years, even the richest country will not be able to hold on, let alone the winter is about to begin!

This year cannot be pacified, and the Liao court will pay more next year!

Besides, without Li Xia's cooperation, it would be even more difficult for him to suppress the rebellion of the Liao Kingdom!

In an already difficult situation, the Song people suddenly made a move, how could Xiao Tiancheng not be angry?
Chapter completed!
