"Jingshou, will we fight against Liao Kingdom next?"

Brother Zhao Zhong, who asked the question, after the ceremony, Wu Haogu took off his clothes and summoned Brother Zhao Zhong, Ximen Anguo, Murong Wangyou, Zhao Jiaren, Su Dalang, Zhang Xizai and other confidants in Tianjin Prefecture to discuss matters.

There are many things to discuss!

There are so many that Wu Haogu is a little confused about where to start. Hearing Brother Zhao Zhong’s question, Wu Haogu sighed and said, “I have been in contact with Gao Qiu and have been in a short while. Although I have no name for brothers, I have a brotherly relationship. I don’t want to be as sad as today. How can I not let people feel heartbroken? If I cannot avenge my brother Gao Qiu, what kind of face can I have in the world?”

"Jings and coaches are kind and righteous!" Old Man Murong praised Wu Haogu's words, "But Liao is a great country with a territory of thousands of miles and it is impossible to defeat it in one battle."

Wu Haogu nodded, "What Mr. Xiangshan said is very true!" He touched the goatee that was about two inches long and was very neatly trimmed under his jaw, and asked, "Sir, where should we start the next step?"

"Of course it's Tokyo Road!" Murong Wangyou narrowed his eyes, "Yan land is a must-fight for the Khitan, so Yelu Yanxi will definitely seize Yizhou and will not give up the territory of Dingzhou and Zhending Prefecture. The next step is to conquer Daizhou to consolidate the passage from the states behind the mountain to the Yan land in Shannan.

In addition, Juyongguan and Gubeikou will also be under pressure from the troops and horses from Fengshengzhou and the Zhongjing Road of Liao Kingdom. Pingying and the two prefectures will not be peaceful, and the Liao army on Zhongjing Road will surely invade the south from time to time."

"Mr. Murong thinks we can't beat the Liao people?" Wu Haogu asked with his beard.

Murong Wangyou shook his head, "It's not that I can't beat it... Fengshengzhou and Zhongjing Road are vast in areas, sparsely populated, not rich in output, and have connecting grasslands. It's not difficult to take it, but it's not easy to occupy it for a long time. There is no internal stability and there are hidden worries in the south, so it's not advisable to show off on the northern line.

As for the Western Front, does the Jieshou want to lead Yunzhong at the same time? After leading Yunzhong at the same time, the Jieshou becomes the court's flesh shield. Maybe he will be attacked from both sides!"

It is not difficult to have a decisive battle between Yizhou and Yelu Yanxi, and most of them can win, but what if you win? Go and take down Yunzhong (Yanyun is Yandi and Yunzhong) territory? In this way, Wu Haogu will be sandwiched between Song and Liao. And there is no tolerance on both sides, can life be better?

"As for Tokyo Road," Murong Wangyou said, "We already have a territory outside Suzhou Pass, and the Ma family has taken over the territory of the Fengguo Army in Chenzhou. According to the Jurchen Alliance under the jurisdiction of Hushui Wanyan's tribe, it will also raise an army at any time.

In addition, the Yaozhou soldiers controlled by the Dagong Ding and Gao Yongchang may also cause the rebellion of the Liao Kingdom. Therefore, there is great potential, and at least they can erode the territory of Suzhou, Fuzhou, Ningzhou and Zhenhai Prefecture step by step."

The so-called territory outside Suzhou Pass is the territory south of Dalian Isthmus. In the early years, the Liao Kingdom built the Zhendongguan Great Wall, which was only 12 miles long, in the narrow Dalian Isthmus, to defend against the Song army's cross-sea attack. However, for more than a hundred years, the shadow of the Song army had not been seen, and it had long been abandoned. Later, Ma Zhi set up a Suzhou commercial market outside Zhendong Pass, but he did not make much money, but he built a good port, which facilitated Hu Yanqing and Wang Mou, sent by Wu Haogu, to lead the army to land.

Now the Great Wall of Zhendongguan and the places outside the pass are in the hands of Wu Haogu, but Suzhou City is still in the hands of the Liao army. However, with the Great Wall of Zhendongguan and the places outside the pass as strongholds, Wu Haogu's army can continue to advance northward and erode the territory of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Compared with the barren and unchanged transportation in Yunzhong and Zhongjing Road, the coastal Liaodong Peninsula is not only convenient for transportation, but also has large raw materials such as wood, grain, fur, medicinal materials, iron ore, limestone (which can be used to produce mud) and other bulk raw materials needed by Tianjin and Yanjing Fucheng.

Moreover, Suzhou Commercial City also has a port that is not frozen, which is a very good "sub-base" for Wu Haogu, who is likely to lose JD Commercial City.

"Okay!" Wu Haogu wiped his beard, "What the sir said is very good. Liaodong is where I will show my strength in the next step."

He suddenly smiled bitterly, "But before this, we have to discuss how to deal with the court and how to sort out a big thing within us."

Now we can't turn against the court, otherwise we will start a war on both sides and be attacked from all sides!

As for our internal affairs, we have to do a good job of doing it. In the past, we had the Maritime Bureau, the Commercial Bureau, the Xuanfu Bureau, and some soldiers, but this aspect is a system and has not been brought together. But now it is different. We must gather all aspects of our strength, and there is also a system to straighten out the relationships, rights, responsibilities and interests of all aspects.

Only after straightening out our power can we exert it! If the principle is not smooth, it should be internally fucked. As for how to straighten out, I cannot make a decision and I don’t have the ability to do so. So I ask you to think about it together. If it doesn’t work, find more people and discuss it a few more times. There is always a way!

Anyway, it’s cold now, and it’s not the time to use troops to fight, so it’s just right to discuss matters. Just talk about the results before the warm spring next year. What do you think?”

...

"Your Majesty, what I discuss is for the country and for the Song Dynasty!"

In Chongzheng Hall, Ji Yi, who had just arrived from Daming Mansion, was frowning and answering Zhao Ji's question. There were also a group of old ministers who were cold-eyed!

Ji Yi's proposal was of course to be named King of Beiping for Wu Hao.

Since Wu Haogu led the governor of Youzhou, he has become a traitor in the court. Moreover, Zhao Ji is a little unwilling to Wu Haogu! Because after thinking about it for a while, Zhao Ji always felt that Wu Haogu must have the fault of Gao Qiu's death.

Why didn’t he notify Hebei Xuanfusi and the court as soon as possible after taking down Yanjing City? How many roads are there from Yanjing City to Daming Mansion? Not to mention that there is no channel for contact between the two sides. These days, Wu Haogu and Ji Yi have at least cheated the country by singing tens of millions. Will the two sides not collude?

Zhao Ji was forgiven for Wu Haogu's desire to be the governor, but Zhao Ji could not tolerate that he killed Gao Qiu.

I could have cheated Gao Qiu to death before, but I might have cheated Zhao Ji himself to death in the future!

It seems that Zhao Ji, who was wailing, also sighed in his heart: Gao Qiu, Zhong Fu, there are so many officers, soldiers and ordinary people, after all, weren’t they cheated to death by you and ordinary court officials?

Ji Yi then asked again: "Your Majesty thinks the current shortcomings of Wu Haogu Yi Party?"

"Of course there is no such thing as righteousness!" Zhao Ji said.

Ji Yi shook his head, "Your Majesty's words are a little worse! If Wu Haogu wanted to rush his army to the capital, he would indeed not have the right to be righteous and would inevitably be opposed by the people of the world. However, Wu Haogu wanted to govern Youzhou, but he was famous and divided. No one in the world would really object."

"How can you talk nonsense in the court?" Before Ji Yi finished speaking, Shi Gongbi, the chief censor, roared.

Ji Yi smiled coldly: "Please ask Zhongcheng, are you really determined to restore Yanyun?"

This is enough to be damaged! In the court, in front of the emperor, Shi Gongbi, the leader of the censor, cannot open his eyes and tell lies!

He wanted to say that he was determined to restore Yan Yun. Before, Zhao Ji sold his country and sought honor and ordered Wu Haogu to withdraw his troops from Yan. Why didn't he give advice?

"But we can't let Wu Haogu become a country in Yan!" Cai Jing said.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong!" Ji Yi didn't give Cai Jing face and said bluntly, "It is inevitable that Wu Haogu will become a country in Yan, and not many people in the world really object."

This is unpleasant, but it is true!

There were really few people in the Song Dynasty who cared about Yan land. Even if there were, they were mostly under Wu Haogu’s command.

Therefore, in terms of the people in the world, they absolutely do not support the war to attack the Yan land of Wu Haogu. Even in the court, few people really have such ideas.

Therefore, the great name of Wu Haogu's rule over Yan land exists! For the Song people, they didn't care about Yan land at all. For the Yan people, Yan land was defeated by Wu Haogu, and Zhao Ji clearly didn't want it, so why didn't he have a name?

"Ji Qing, don't keep it in hiding." Zhao Ji asked at this time, "Just tell me what Wu Haogu's shortcomings are, right?"

"I obey the order!" Ji Yi said, "The disadvantage of Wu Haogu is that the system has not been established yet."

"System?" Cai Jing smiled, "Don't Wu Haogu be the governor?"

Ji Yi shook her head, "Gong-gong Cai really thinks someone like Wu Haogu would copy Li Huaixian and Zhu Xicai's method?"

Cai Jing was stunned, it seemed that it was really unlikely!

Ji Yi smiled and said, "Wu Haogu has not yet established a system in Yan, so the court might as well start the first step! He was appointed as the King of Beiping, and then he was granted the title of Duke Yizhou, Duke Zhuozhou, Duke Tanzhou, Duke Shunzhou, Duke Jingzhou, Duke Jizhou, Duke Pingzhou, Duke Yingzhou, Duke Luanzhou, and then he was granted a bunch of county marquis. All the great heroes of Youzhou who surrendered to Wu Haogu and the generals under Wu Haogu were granted the right to autonomy in Tianjin. This is a way to express grace!"

"Can he admit the Duke and Mausoleum conferred by the imperial court?" Cai Jing asked with a frown.

Ji Yi said: "He did not admit it, what would the princes and soldiers in the army think? If he admitted it, the land of Yan would become a plate of loose sand. So whether Wu Haogu accepted it or not, he was placed on the fire and roasted!"

"Okay!" Zhao Ji's eyes finally lit up this time.

Ji Yi really has a solution!

"What's going on with the right to autonomy in Tianjin?" Cai Jing seemed to have heard something wrong from Ji Yi's suggestion.

Ji Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Cai, haven't you seen that Wu Haogu's fundamentally the city of Tianjin? Without the industry and commerce of Tianjin, Wu Haogu's army cannot be maintained. Therefore, the court should not push all the industry and commerce of Tianjin to Wu Haogu's side! You have to find a way to win over them!"

As he spoke, Ji Yi bowed to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, I am willing to take charge of the Hailu Maritime Market Order, and manage all the markets in the world outside the Jiehe Maritime Market Order, and compete for profit with Wu Haogu!"
