Cui Shang and Zhang Wanshan were both surprised. It was obvious that they were a little unacceptable to Jiang Feng's decision, but Jiang Feng's words had already been spoken, and in front of the newlywed queen, they both were not good at opposing it.

Cui Shang thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "I guess although Hu Bing is arrogant, he should still go for wealth. He should still respect the royal family at least. There should be no big problem in the short term. The subordinates will arrange for someone to send a letter immediately. Yang Wenchang's thin face will still be given to us in the Song Dynasty."

Jiang Feng was also in a difficult situation. If he had no expression in front of Li Jin, his husband would be a little unreasonable. After all, he was still his father-in-law and mother-in-law there. Even if the prestige of the court had been reduced to the extreme, he could even be ignored, but at least he, King Song, was still granted by him.

"In addition, I also mentioned it to him in the letter that Guanzhong can be handed over to him, but please treat Chang'an gentry well. If there are any gentry and merchants who want to go east to Song State, please let it go." Jiang Feng added.

"Master, do you need a name to him, right?" Cui Shang frowned.

"I can't give him the title. I guess Yang Wenchang doesn't care about this. He just wants the Guanzhong Plain." Jiang Feng sighed, "This guy is also an ambitious hero. It's a good thing that he endured for many years. Finally, he waited for such an opportunity. Bai Ling, let's talk about the situation in Heshuo."

Li Jin stood up and wanted to leave, but was pulled by Jiang Feng, "Sit down. If you are lonely in the future, you will inevitably have to contact these things."

When Cui Shang saw that Jiang Feng was not shy about Li Jin, he felt a little shocked. It seemed that the king had a higher trust in the queen than he thought.

"The king, Wang Miao wrote to him that the Chengde states had been taken down, and Zhang Chujin was burned to death. However, Liu Shouguang had officially joined the Khitans and served as the King of the Southern Court. Yelu Deguang had officially changed the Khitan Kingdom to Liao, with the reign of Datong, and led an army of 150,000 south to Youzhou to join Liu Shouguang's 50,000 troops."

Although he had known about this before, Jiang Feng was shocked when he heard Yelu Deguang's 150,000 troops heading south.

"Can these 150,000 troops be implemented?" Jiang Feng's eyes fell on Zhang Wanshan's face.

"According to the information we have, the Khitan army is only 150,000, which should be an imaginary number. There are still many savages in the north who have not completely surrendered. It is the limit to reach 100,000 to go south." Zhang Wanshan answered very affirmatively on this point, "But the Khitans are in the army and the people, and their mobilization ability is strong. It is not ruled out that they mobilized some tribe auxiliary troops to go south, but there is no possibility of a regular army of 150,000."

"Bai Ling, did Jiulang mention the situation of the army under Liu Shouguang?" Jiang Feng's thinking had already rotated rapidly and began to think about how to deal with it. This was a real national war. The question is what if the Khitans move south in large numbers, what should they do with the Shatu people?

"Liu Shouguang's Lu Long Army is about 50,000 to 60,000, but the Gao brothers have taken away nearly 10,000 troops and joined us. In addition, some of the Lu Long Army are still at the end of the rat. We estimate that the troops controlled by Liu Shouguang are about 35,000 to 40,000. However, Liu Shouguang attaches great importance to military training. The Lu Long Army is not weak in combat and is stronger than the Chengde Army and Wei Bo Army."

Cui Shang also introduced the news that Wang Miao sent back.

"Jiulang did a good job of appointing the Gao brothers as the governor of the Chengde Army. This kind of thing requires a quick decision. After the Khitans went south to Youzhou, there would be a period of chaos in Youzhou. Liu Shouguang had been holding on for so many years and had not bowed his knees to the Khitans, but he was soft at the last moment. Humph, I'm afraid it will bring chaos in people's hearts. This is our good opportunity." Jiang Feng said word by word: "But this time will not be too long. Maybe two or three months, maybe only half a year. We have to do everything we can to hold our opponents. As long as we can delay until next spring, the Khitans can only go south until next autumn."

"If this happens, we will not be afraid, just fear..." Cui Shang hesitated for a moment.

Jiang Feng also knew what Cui Shang was worried about, but in fact he was also worried about this.

Yelu Deguang and Shuluping were not mediocre people, so they could naturally see the changes in the situation in the Central Plains. Why did they force Liu Shouguang to surrender at this time? In fact, they realized that once they gained a foothold in Heshuo, it would not be so easy for him to go south in the future.

"I'm afraid the Khitans won't give us this time." Jiang Feng's tone became depressed.

It is unrealistic to expect the Khitans to delay until next year. Since Yelu Deguang chose this time, he must have taken advantage of the fact that he had just entered Heshuo to defeat the Song army in one fell swoop and completely take down the entire Heshuo.

In this way, all the lands in Hebei were controlled by him. In the future, he was condescending, and he had a geographical advantage over the Song Dynasty and could cross Henan to invade at any time.

This is something I have to try my best to avoid. Unexpectedly, my opponent was still taking the lead. None of the celebrities in history have been bragged about.

"That king..." Cui Shang also realized this. If the Khitans merged with Liu Shouguang and went south, the current Pinglu army and the newly formed Cheng German army would be difficult to resist. The Wei Bo army would probably not support the Song army wholeheartedly at this time. The entire situation would collapse completely if it was not careful.

"Bai Ling, if we collapsed in Heshuo at this time, what would you think Li Cunhou think?" Jiang Feng said slowly.

"Then Li Cunhou would probably have to worry that the Khitans would retaliate against him. If Heshuo was obtained by Yelu Deguang, then the foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty would be under the threat of the Khitans. I am afraid that the Shatu people would not be able to sleep." Cui Shang frowned and thought, "Will the King want to join forces with the Shatu people?"

"With joining forces with Shatu people, Shatu people will not work hard. With us in front, they are hoping that we will fight the Khitans to the death." Jiang Feng shook his head, "But at least we must make sure that they don't pull us back."

"How to do it?" Cui Shang was a little confused.

"On the one hand, we must make Yang Wenchang more ambitious and have a greater appetite, but we must also beware of him biting us. On the other hand, we must make the Shatu people realize that once we withdraw from Heshuo, the Khitans' blade may point at them." Jiang Feng said word by word.

"Does the king plan to make peace with the Shatuo people?" Cui Shang understood what Jiang Feng meant.

"Well, there was no fight at all, so there was no question of peace. The Khitans really went south and they wanted to feel a sense of crisis." Jiang Feng sighed, "Bai Ling, Gu felt that he might not be able to drag him over, so Gu had to make the worst plan."

"What is the worst plan?" Cui Shang's heart trembled.

"The Khitans went south, the Shatuo people started a full war with us, Yang Wenchang took the opportunity to advance east, and the three risks broke out at the same time." Jiang Feng said darkly: "I have a premonition that we went too smoothly in the early stage. Maybe this will be the most difficult time in our Song Dynasty."

Cui Shang took a breath, and Li Jin next to him also had a white face, "Master, how is that possible?"

"There is nothing impossible. Li Cunhou and Feng Dao are not fools. You will not see the crisis that the Khitans face when they go south to the Song Dynasty. This may be the best time for them to expand in the Central Plains. Once the Shatu people do their best to launch a battle, we will fight against the Khitans in Hebei in the north, and the Central Plains will fight against the Shatu people. Do you think Yang Wenchang will miss such an opportunity?"

Cui Shang was also shocked by Jiang Feng's words and thought about it carefully.

This possibility really exists. If the Shatu people really took advantage of the outbreak of the war between Heshuo and the Khitans, the situation might suddenly become dangerous. Yang Wenchang felt that there was an opportunity, but he was afraid that he would really pounce on it.

Seeing Cui Shang's face turned gray, Jiang Feng knew that the other party might also realize how likely it was.

This is almost one link after another, and at first glance it seems impossible, but once the Khitans move south in large numbers and their side fails to deal with it, forming a deadlock or being unfavorable to their side, the Shatuo people are very likely to advance to the line of Song Pucao.

They would not be unable to consider the threat of the Khitans, but they might think that taking advantage of the confrontation between the Song army and the Khitans, they would have the advantage of fighting against the Khitans in one fell swoop. If the Jianghuai and the Central Plains were both obtained by the Shatuo people, they would indeed have the strength to compete with the Khitans.

"Then, how should we deal with it?" Cui Shang was also a little confused. Seeing Jiang Feng's calm and deep gaze, he calmed down. "The key is Heshuo. As long as we can defeat the Khitans, the Shatuo people dare not act rashly!"

"Well, Bai Ling, you also see this. The Shatuo people are also soft and afraid of evil, and Yang Wenchang is even more so. So they must realize that eating a bite on us will only cause tooth to break. They dare not do it easily, and they think it is better to attack others." Jiang Feng stood up and carried his hands on his back, "so they are ready to take the teeth, Tianping Army, Heshuo Army, and Ziqing Army to personally conquer Heshuo!"

Cui Shang calculated that if the Ya Army, Tianping Army, Heshuo Army, and Ziqing Army headed north, then there would be only two armies of Xuanwu Army and Wuning Army left in the Central Plains, with a total of only 60,000 people. Compared with the Shatuo people stationed in the Central Plains, the strength of the Jianghuai area is also very weak. Chai Yong, Huaizuo Town, needs to intimidate Wu and Yue, and Huaiyou Town also has to defend Yingbo. Even if Liu Xuan's army is added, it may not be able to withstand the ambitious Shannan Army.

"Bailing, Gu knows what you are worried about. Yes, Central Plains and Jianghuai are both weak, but this is not important. The Shatuo people will not launch a large-scale attack before the situation in Heshuo. At most, it will be some temptations. It has nothing to do with the overall situation. Yang Wenchang will even observe the changes in the situation. As long as Gu can defeat the Khitans in Heshuo, Jianghuai in the Central Plains will be extremely safe."

Jiang Feng thought the more he thought, the clearer his thoughts were. "Of course, we can't let Shatuo people and Shannan Taixian, Xiangyang Xiao family, Ehuang Du family, Dangxiang people and Ganzhou Uighurs. Since everyone has entered the game, they must move. It's nothing more than tempting them for profit, and everything can be discussed."
