"Your Majesty, Wu Sandao and his fleet have already set off."

In the Chui Gong Hall, Ma Yuan reported to Ning again.

"What about those greedy businessmen?"

Ning Fu asked without raising his head. Calling those people businessmen is actually a bit too flattering. People who make a living at sea are actually difficult to define with a single identity.

For example, those who followed Wu Sandao to the Americas, although they claimed to be maritime merchants, were actually half-merchants and half-pirates. As long as the conditions were right, they could even become full-time pirates.

But I have to admit that although this group of people is lawless, they are also bold enough. To put it mildly, they have an adventurous spirit, and they are also greedy enough. In order to make a fortune, they even dare to risk a narrow escape and follow Wu Sandao and the others.

America.

"Most of them agreed to the conditions set by His Majesty and set off with Wu Sandao and the others. A small number of them are too dirty. I have also sent people to monitor them and can send troops to arrest them at any time."

Ma Yuan replied immediately.

Although Ning Fu hopes to send more people to America, not everyone can do it. For example, some murderous gangsters are allowed to follow the fleet. Ning Fu is really worried about it, so he also specially asks the Imperial City Secretary to investigate

Learn the details of these people.

"Well done. When Wu Sandao and the others come back, the imperial court can come forward to organize more people to participate in this great voyage."

Ning Fu first praised Ma Yuan, and then seemed to mutter to himself.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the Liao Kingdom is critical. The Jin army may move south at any time, but Yelu Yanxi wants to defend Zhongjing. Many nobles of the Liao Kingdom are not optimistic about him, and they have even secretly begun to contact the Jin Kingdom."

Ma Yuan suddenly reported again.

Of course, Ning Fu was very concerned about the current situation in the Liao Kingdom.

However, the Jin Kingdom is also very cautious now, because the Zhou Dynasty not only helped the Liao Kingdom regain Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, but also sent troops to the Yalu River to cut off their contact with the Eastern Jurchens.

Goryeo took advantage of this opportunity to organize a large army to counterattack again, and they fought hard with the Eastern Jurchens. Both sides wanted to gain the right to rule.

Originally, Goryeo was defeated miserably at the hands of the Eastern Jurchens, but now that the Eastern Jurchens have lost the aid of the Jin Kingdom, and Goryeo has the backing of Dazhou, there is not much difference in strength between the two sides, and the winner cannot be determined in a short time.

It was precisely Zhou's intervention that made the Jin Kingdom become very cautious now. Although the army had already forced the Liao Kingdom into Beijing, they did not dare to go south easily. They were worried that the Zhou army would go north to aid the Liao Kingdom, in case the battle was lost.

, will cause a huge blow to the Kingdom of Jin.

However, sometimes the development of the situation does not depend on the will of some people. The reason why the Jurchens raised armies was to resist the brutal rule of the Liao Kingdom, which was also the foundation of their country. Therefore, from the beginning, the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom only

One can survive.

Moreover, the Jin Kingdom had made too many preparations to go south, and it was impossible to stop. Therefore, no matter how fearful the Great Zhou Dynasty was, the Jin army would still go south to destroy the Liao Dynasty, and the time was getting closer and closer.

"Is there any news from Xiao Fengxian?"

Ning Fu was silent for a moment before he asked.

Ever since Xiao Fengxian sent his sister to the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ning Fu had been sending people to contact him secretly, not to ask him to betray the Liao Kingdom, but to use Xiao Fengxian to understand the internal trends of the Liao Kingdom, so as to let the Great Zhou Dynasty do what he wanted.

Be prepared.

"Xiao Fengxian was sent by Yelu Yanxi to lead the troops. He was not in the city during this period, so our people were unable to contact him."

Ma Yuan answered again.

Ning Fu pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then suddenly stood up. After walking back and forth a few times, he suddenly stopped.

"Send someone to inform the Duke of Qin and the Duke of Wei that the army will be ready to march north at any time!"

Ning Fu finally made a decision.

The Duke of Qin has the title of Hutou, while the Duke of Wei has the title of Zhe Keshi. They each lead an army, one suppresses Datong, and the other guards Hutou. As long as Ning Fu gives an order, they can lead their troops to attack immediately.

Within the Liao Kingdom.

"I obey the decree!"

Ma Yuan agreed, then stepped back and let others do it.

Ning Fu felt quite uneasy, so he walked to the sand table in the side hall and looked at the complicated situation on the border between Liao and Jin, with a look of contemplation on his face.

Based on Ning Fu's judgment, if the Jin army went south to attack Zhongjing, Yelu Yanxi would definitely not be able to survive for a few days. After all, the Liao Kingdom now only occupies one geographical advantage, and the weather, time, and people are all on the Jin Kingdom's side.

Moreover, Ning Fu did not think that Yelu Yanxi would coexist with Zhongjing. In the original history, Yelu Yanxi was very precious about his life. After losing Zhongjing, he fled to Juyongguan, and later fled all the way to the west.

Although Yelu Yanxi tried to make a comeback several times later, he failed miserably. In the end, he was captured alive by the Jurchens on the way to escape, and died out of hatred not long after.

So even though Yelu Yanxi now pretends to live and die with Beijing, Ning Fu still feels that as long as the war situation is unfavorable, Yelu Yanxi is likely to lead his people to flee.

Of course, now all the sixteen states of Yanyun are occupied by Ning Fu, and Nanjing of the Liao Kingdom has become the Beijing of the Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, Yelu Yanxi cannot escape to the south, so he can only flee directly to the west. Although the conditions in the west are more difficult, but

At least it's a way to survive.

However, if Yelu Yanxi fled westward, it also meant that the Jin Kingdom could march straight in and fight all the way south to the border of the Zhou Dynasty.

Ning Fu does not want to be passively defensive. After all, if the war is brought to his own country, even if he wins, he will still suffer greater losses.

Thinking of this, Ning Fu also turned his attention to the border between Zhou Dynasty and Liao Kingdom.

The Great Zhou Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom were bounded by the Great Wall Defense Line. Gubeikou was an important transportation artery for the Great Wall Defense Line, and to the north of Gubeikou were several important military towns of the Liao Kingdom.

For example, in Anle City, after Yelu Chun and his son were defeated, they fled here to garrison. Later, Xiao Fengxian received Ning Fu's advice and launched a mutiny to kill Yelu Chun and his son, thereby seizing military power.

Originally, Anle City was an important border town for the Liao Kingdom to resist the Great Zhou Dynasty. There were also heavy troops stationed in the city. However, due to the tight front line of Liao and Jin Dynasties, Yelu Yanxi had to transfer the troops from the southern front to the northern front. Therefore, the current garrison in Anle City was exhausted.

There are only one or two thousand people.

Compared to Anle City, there are even fewer troops stationed in other towns. It can be said that as long as Ning Fu is willing, he can send troops at any time to capture all these towns in one fell swoop.

Now is an excellent opportunity. If Yelu Yanxi escapes to the west and the Jin army takes over Zhongjing, Ningfu will definitely not be idle. They must seize all the important military towns such as Anle City in the shortest possible time.
