"Zhang Juxian was killed?" Wanyan Zongwang was even more surprised.

"Yes, the Zhao Guan family killed people in Xingzhou, transferred the envoy, promoted the prison envoy, promoted the Changping envoy and was beheaded, and Zhang Juxian, the prefect of Xinde Prefecture, was also beheaded."

"For what crime was he chopped?"

"To collect taxes randomly."

"Didn't you report any connection with us?"

"It's not in the news from Xizuo."

"In other words, the Zhao Guan family didn't find out that Zhang Juxian is one of ours?"

Liu Yanzong thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say."

"How do you say this?"

"The Zhao family may have discovered it, but it has not been made public."

"Why didn't he make it public?"

"Maybe it's because of face."

Wanyan Zongwang laughed again and shook his head: "Judging from what this official Zhao has done in the past few years, face is worthless to him."

"If you say that those officials before the Song Dynasty were all face-conscious people, I agree, but this Zhao Guan family." Zong Wang ordered people to set up a fire on the grass, and then started grilling fish himself, "This Zhao Guan family

Never worry about the so-called face when doing things."

"What your Highness means is that the Zhao Guan family did not realize that Zhang Juxian is one of ours?"

"It probably hasn't been discovered yet."

Liu Yanzong sighed: "In this way, the trade line we have installed in Hebei is safe for the time being."

The servants on one side were preparing desk tables and pen and ink.

"Come on, come over and help me grill the fish."

Liu Yanzong hurried over, rolled up his robe, sat on the small bench, and started grilling fish for Zong Wang.

"What do you want to write, Your Highness?"

""On the Rise of the Song Dynasty"."

"On the rise of Song Dynasty?"

Zong Wang started writing as soon as he picked up his pen. As he wrote, he said: "The Zhao Guan family wrote an article "On the Early Years of the War between Song and Jin Dynasties" for us. Even now, my court is still arguing about this article."

"Now, I will also write a "Lun on the Rise of the Song Dynasty" for Zhao Guanjia."

Liu Yanzong was shocked and said hurriedly: "How are you going to write, Your Highness?"

Zong Wang said: "If you go north of Hebei, it is the strategic point of Shenjing. It controls the danger of Taihang and it is the key point of China. If you go west, Taiyuan will be shaken. If you go north, Yanyun will frighten you. It covers the mountains and rivers on the surface and controls the majestic distance."

"

Liu Yanzong said: "That's true."

"So, we must let the Zhao Guan family give up Hebei. If the Zhao Guan family gives up Hebei, Hedong will also give up."

"How to make Zhao Guan's family give up Hebei?"

"In the land of Hebei, ten houses and nine are empty, the bare land is thousands of miles away, the people have no food to eat, people freeze to death on the road, complaints are everywhere, and bandits are rampant." Zong Wang's eyes became sharp, "The Zhao Guan family has invested tens of millions of dollars this year to support them, and tomorrow they will enter again."

If millions of stones are used to help it, how many years will it take?”

Liu Yanzong became increasingly confused.

Zong Wang added: "The Zhao Guan family's methods are so powerful that no one in the world knows about it."

Liu Yanzong became more and more confused. He even forgot that the fish was still grilled in his hand. The fish was burnt and he quickly turned it over.

"I really don't understand what His Highness said."

"The Zhao Guan family uses the wealth from the south to support the land in Hebei and Hedong. The land is actually empty, but the south is unknown."

Liu Yanzong seemed to have come to his senses and said quickly: "Your Highness means that the Zhao Guan family levied heavy taxes in the south in order to supply Hebei and Hedong. However, in fact, Hebei and Hedong no longer have much people power, so this move by the Zhao Guan family is not very practical.

"

"Not only was it useless, it also caused a waste of taxes in the Song Dynasty and was exploited by corrupt officials in Hebei."

"Then what does this have to do with the "Song Xing Lun" written by His Highness?"

"I want to tell the people of the Song Dynasty that the prosperity of the Song Dynasty lies in abandoning the land of Hebei and Hedong, saving taxes and easing the public sentiment."

Liu Yanzong was so shocked that he stood up.

This article instigates the Song Dynasty to abandon Hebei and Hedong and completely retreat to the south.

Its core purpose was to let the people of the Song Dynasty know that Hebei and Hedong were already depleted of people, Zhao Guan's family was now on Gyeonggi Road, and the essence of the new policy in Huaixi was to impose heavy taxes to support a few empty shells.

In this way, someone within the Song Dynasty would inevitably stand up and propose abandoning Hebei and Hedong.

Conservatives will definitely have an extra platform for speech.

The recent scandal involving tax embezzlement by officials in Hebei has made some officials in Tokyo believe that it is becoming more difficult to govern Hebei and that it is difficult to make ends meet, so there is no need to continue to invest money to protect Hebei.

The Song Dynasty itself had been in financial crisis for many years, and it was not unheard of for it to abandon land beyond its means. At that time, Sima Guang felt that the finances could not provide for the newly expanded land in the northwest and suggested giving up.

Liu Yanzong couldn't help but take a deep breath. Zong Wang's inflammatory articles are well-founded, which is scary.

Zhao Guanjia's article "On the Early Stage of the War between Song and Jin Dynasties" stirred up a storm in the Jin Dynasty court, and even brought the ambitious Wanyan Zongpan into Bojilie, changing the pattern of the Jin Dynasty court.

Now Zong Wang also wants to write a conspiracy.

Liu Yanzong lamented that this "Lun on the Rise of the Song Dynasty" really hit a snake seven inches.

Zong Wang continued: "Thieves are rampant among the people in Hebei. You need a lot of support. Once they become popular, they will inevitably cause chaos in Hebei and Hedong. The south is even less willing to pay heavy taxes to support Hebei and Hedong."

"In this way, within a few years, Hebei and Hedong will be in chaos, and the Song Dynasty will abandon them. If Hebei and Hedong are abandoned, our dynasty can be ruled by Han people and gradually be included in our dynasty."

"After abandoning Hebei, the Song Dynasty has lost its military barrier." Liu Yanzong couldn't help but sigh.

Zong Wang added: "When the Song Dynasty flourished, Hebei was abandoned and Hedong was one of them."

"Is there another one?"

"The second is the New Deal." Zong Wang continued, "We must encourage the Zhao Guan family to continue to implement the New Deal and intensify the internal conflicts in the Song Dynasty."

Zong Wang picked up his pen like a god and began to write his "Lun on the Rise of the Song Dynasty" quickly.

June 15th was Zhao Ning's last day in Xingzhou.

He summoned Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun has been acting like a dog these days. He takes the Xingzhou garrison troops to practice when he has nothing to do.

If you observe his practice, you will find that it looks and sounds the same.

But if a professional military commander were here, for example, if Yue Fei were here, he would see that this guy's military training is only superficial.

Fortunately, Zhang Jun behaved very obediently and sent all kinds of game, delicacies, and fine wine to Zhao Guan's house.

They were also looking for beautiful women everywhere in Xingzhou to send to Zhao Guan's palace.

"Zhang Qing."

"I am here, Your Majesty. I am always here. What are your orders?"

"I heard that you captured Liu Guangshi?"

Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment, and quickly said righteously: "When Liu Guangshi was guarding Xingzhou, he escaped from the battle, resulting in the fall of Xingzhou, and countless soldiers died in battle. As a subject of His Majesty, I have never forgotten His Majesty's holy teachings.

, it is my duty to capture this thief."

"Then what do you think Liu Guangshi should do?"

Liu Guangshi has been in prison for more than a year.

Liu Guangshi belonged to the Western Army, which was the most troublesome faction in the Song Dynasty. The Western Army had a lot of bad debts.

When it comes to the turn of the Song Dynasty, the most combat-effective unit was definitely the Zongze Division.

Zongze himself had just entered the military system of the Song Dynasty. Some of his people came from the Hebei Forbidden Army, and some of them were rogue bandits from Zhao'an.

Therefore, Zongze's tribe did not suffer from the bad habits of the Western Army. The military discipline was strict and the military and government were solemn.

Zhao Ning has long wanted to rectify the military affairs of the Western Army, but due to the serious situation in the Song and Jin Dynasties, he has not acted rashly.

Liu Guangshi was born as a general in the Western Army. He has not been killed for the time being. He is just trying to stabilize the situation in the northwest.
