In the middle of the night, He Liyou slowly walked in the embassy yard.

He also held a long sword he bought from a weapon shop in Tianjin, and looked quietly at the moonlight at the top of Tianjin city.

Repressing mergers, equalizing the land, raising soldiers... Wu Haogu was indeed a great scholar of his generation, and it makes sense to be called a saint! The problems that had troubled the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred and decades were easily resolved by him.

Although the power of the Song Dynasty has been boosted over the years, it is still slightly worse than that of the Zhou Kingdom. It turns out that it is based on the ancient method of "suppressing annexation and equalizing the fields". It seems that the way of this dynasty's failure to suppress annexation was still wrong.

As long as the annexation is suppressed, all the land and the army are raised. With the land, population and wealth that the Song Dynasty has several times that of the Zhou State, what reason is there to be afraid of Zhou like a tiger?

Thinking of the depths, He Li suddenly felt a sense of pleasure. He wanted to draw his sword and dance, but he didn't pull it out. It turned out that he forgot to press the motive spring. But he heard someone applauding: "Good sword technique...... It's like a tiger in the mountain!"

He Li looked back and saw Liu Qi, who had not seen for a long time, standing under the moon gate with an awkward look on his face.

Liu Qi was wearing a moon-white Confucian uniform, and a long sword was hung on his belt, which was a typical Tianjin scholar.

He Li was a little angry when he saw it. He knew that many Western Army generals had established industries in Tianjin. Zhou army actually had a little Western Army bloodline, and many Western Army generals had invested in Tianjin. Liu Qi's father Liu Zhongwu was Gao Qiu's friend during his lifetime, and most of them invested in Tianjin through Gao Qiu's relationship.

This Liu Qi and Uncle Liu Xin may have the right to civil rights in the Great Zhou Dynasty...

He Li walked over slowly and asked coldly: "Uncle Liu Xin, look at this late at night, what can I do to teach you?"

Liu Qi smiled: "Brother Wenzhen is the top scholar, how dare I speak? I just heard that Brother Wenzhen came to Tianjin and came to meet him. There was still something to say."

He Li did not drive away the people, but turned around and walked into the hall. Liu Qi followed behind.

He Tang and He Jing were not in the house. They both followed Wang Fu to Wanda Wazi's Nephrite Wenxiang Building to inspect the people's sentiments... Fengmingshan hosted the guests, and He Li also invited him. However, He Li was the top scholar and had noble character, so he refused.

A Tianjin glazed lamp was lit in the room, and the light was very dim. An old servant who followed He Li brought tea and moved a glazed lamp from another room. The room suddenly became much brighter.

The two separated the guests and took their seats and began to greet each other. After a while, the young Liu Qi couldn't hold back and first came to the topic: "Brother Wenzhen, don't blame me for staying away from Tianjin. I'm a warrior after all. On the fourth day of the fifth month, it's fatal to warriors like me. If I don't leave, are you waiting to lose my head?"

Alas! Now the warrior's head is difficult to cut, and he runs away at any time...

He Li sighed: "What is Uncle Xin doing in Tianjin? Did he join the Zhou army?"

"What else can I do except join the army?" Liu Qi smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, my father has some old friends in Tianjin, so I arranged for me to enter the Knights Academy."

"So, why might Uncle Xin lead the Zhou army south to seize the Song Dynasty's Jiye?"

Liu Qi smiled bitterly: "This is what...ah, it's obvious that Song is strong and Zhou is weak, but it's Song is afraid of Zhou Ruhu! Brother Wenzhen is the top scholar, so he never thought about why?"

"Song is strong and Zhou is weak?" He Li glanced at Liu Qi, "But everyone in the world says that the Zhou army is invincible!"

"The Zhou army is indeed invincible!" Liu Qi said, "Before entering the preparatory course of Tianjin Knights College, I didn't believe it, but now I firmly believe it."

"Oh? Why?"

“There are so many people!”

"There are many people?" He Li was stunned, "No matter how many people in Zhou are, they are not as many as our Song Dynasty!"

"Hey, what's the point of being a great person in the Song Dynasty? You can't fight either a farmer or a scholar. I'm talking about a lot of people, which means there are many people in the preparatory course of the Knights Academy."

“There are many people in preparatory courses?”

"They are all thirteen or fourteen years old," said Liu Qi, "most of them are knights or higher-level generals and officials... Most of them are second, third, and fourth.

Do you know that their Knights Academy is expanding its enrollment every year! The number of students is more than the other, but it still cannot be subdued!"

"this……"

He Li's face changed slightly. Of course he knew what Liu Qi said? The knights of Zhou State originated from the Military Academy of the First Emperor's Dynasty. By the time of development this year, it had been around for almost twenty years.

The new generation of knights has grown up and will soon be able to enter the battlefield.

Moreover, the new generation of knights must have more people than the older generation and are of better quality.

Wait for a few more years, and when they enter the army in large numbers, even if Wu Haogu doesn't want to expand, the second, third and fourth of the knight family will force Zhou to start a war!

"Brother Wenzhen," Liu Qi suddenly lowered his voice, "The power of the Song Dynasty cannot be used, but the power of the Zhou Kingdom is real. In a few years, when the Zhou Kingdom is rested, the head of state will be in charge of the world. This is the dragon's merit! You are the top scholar, and if you are willing to come and compete with each other, you will definitely be reused! How about it? Do you want to be a founding hero?"

He Li's face became even more ugly. When Liu Qi said this, he did not look guilty at all. Moreover... he didn't have to feel guilty. Because he had never obtained an official position in the Song Dynasty and had no monarch and ministers with Zhao Ji. The Zhou Kingdom was not a barbarian country. Being against Song and Zhou was like abandoning Wei Prime Minister Qin, there was nothing wrong with it.

He Li said angrily: "Uncle Xin, who do you think I am? Am I the kind of minister who is greedy for wealth and honor and betrays the Lord and asks for honor?"

"Don't get angry, don't get angry." Liu Qi smiled and waved his hand, "I have good intentions... The Song Dynasty is still in a daze now, just waiting for the strong Zhou to attack."

"Why are you confused? The court is also training the new army."

"Hi, what's the point?" Liu Qi said, "The new army of the Song Dynasty is not united, and the lord is quite suspicious, and is also restrained by civil servants. There is no problem with a weak enemy like Jiaozhi. If you encounter a strong enemy like Zhou State, hundreds of thousands of iron troops will be suppressed, you will probably collapse in one battle."

"No!" He Li slapped the table suddenly and stood up. "As long as the imperial court takes Zhou as its army and is determined to reform, it will be strong in less than ten years. Even if it swallows Zhou and destroys gold, it is not impossible!"

"Be determined to reform? How to change?"

"Retro method!" He Li said seriously, "Suppress the merger, equalize the fields, raise the soldiers..."

Ah! Liu Qi was also shocked now. He Li was trying to die!

Fortunately, he was sent to Zhou State by abandoning the darkness and turning to the darkness, otherwise he would have to be exhausted to death.

...

At the same time, in the soft jade warm fragrance building in Wanda Tile, there was neither soft jade nor warm fragrance at this time. There was only five middle-aged men, Wang Fu, He Tang, He Jun, Fengmingshan, Su Zhihuan, and an elderly white-bearded old man.

This white-bearded old man is nothing but the right prime minister of the Eastern Liao Kingdom.

The Grand Duke Dingyuan was sent by Guo Yaoshi to Empress Dowager Xiao’s army to discuss surrender. As a result, before he could see Empress Dowager Xiao, Wu Haogu slept with Empress Dowager Xiao first...

Later, Guo Yaoshi did not surrender to Empress Dowager Xiao, but instead surrendered to Wu Haogu. Dagong Ding followed Empress Dowager Xiao as an official, and now he has become the right prime minister of the Eastern Liao Dynasty. The official system of the Eastern Liao Kingdom followed the Great Zhou Dynasty, but there was no head of state, and there were more kings and queen mothers.

However, because Dongliao belongs to the Great Zhou Republic, it has no diplomatic power. It cannot send envoys in Kaifeng Prefecture, nor can it send missions, but can only conduct secret diplomacy.

The Grand Duke Ding "comes secretly". There are important things to discuss with Wang Fu, He Li and others.

This important thing is to participate in the battle to destroy Jin in the Four Kingdoms!

"My Empress Dowager recently received a memorial sent by Yelu Dashi, the king of Western Liao, and learned about the joint destruction of Jin by the four countries. She was determined to give it a try! If this battle is successful, the Jin Dynasty can be destroyed and the Liao Dynasty can be revived. Of course, the states in Yunzhong will not dare to seek back, but they can all return to the Song Dynasty."

After Da Gong Ding said the words, Wang Fu, He Tang and He Jing in the elegant room all had incredible expressions.

"This, does Chief Wu know about this?" Wang Fu asked.

Feng Mingshan smiled: "If Head of State Wu knew, will we meet the grand husband here?"

"So is the head of state against the destruction of Jin in the four countries?"

Grand Duke Ding smiled and said, "If Head of State Wu really objected, I can't come to Tianjin."

"What does Chief Wu mean?"

Dagong Ding said: "Head Wu does not believe that the power of the four countries can destroy the Jin Kingdom."

"How is it possible? Jin Kingdom is that powerful?"

"It is not that the Jin Kingdom is powerful, but that the people of the four countries are different, so they are inevitably taken advantage of by the Jin Kingdom." Grand Duke Ding smiled, "so he would rather send troops to Goryeo than go to war with the Jin Kingdom."

"Send troops to Goryeo?" Wang Fu asked, "Is Chief Wu Yuan going to send troops to Goryeo?"

"It's true!" said Da Gongding affirmatively, "After the autumn harvest, we will send troops... we will send 100,000 troops, advance together by sea and land, and destroy Goryeo in one fell swoop."

Wang Fu said: "No wonder Zhou State has been ordering troops during this period... When the 100,000 troops are out, I am afraid that Zhou State will have no time to look around, right?"

"That's right," Da Gongding smiled, "Isn't this the opportunity for our Dongliao to make a full effort?"

"How many soldiers and horses do you Dongliao have?"

"There are three cavalry divisions, with the main and auxiliary soldiers, a total of 60,000 people!" Dagong Ding said, "Our 60,000 troops of the Eastern Liao Dynasty were first dispatched to the Korqin grassland, attacking Linhuang Prefecture, and attracting Jin soldiers to advance eastward. Subsequently, the 90,000 coalition forces of the Western Liao and Liang Kingdom will attack Xijing Datong Prefecture in two ways. If your country is willing to join, tens of thousands of people can cross Yanmen and enter Datong Prefecture northward.

In this way, the Jin Kingdom will perish, the grassland will surely be established, and our Great Liao Dynasty will also be restored."

Wang Fu, He Tang and He Jing looked at each other, and they all felt like they had a great contribution.

Although the Zhou State will not send troops, the effect of the Dongliao sending 60,000 troops to attack Linhuang Mansion seems to be similar to that of the Great Zhou.

If the Jin soldiers could really be led away from Datong Prefecture, the possibility of victory in the Northern Expedition would seem very great!
