The next morning, the rising sun emerged, and the rays of light were shining. Looking up at the lush and beautiful Changsheng Mountains yesterday, they were covered by a vast sea of ​​snow overnight. The sky and the earth were the same color, and they were endless.

On a ritual tower on the top of Lingyun Peak of Changsheng Mountain, Ma Jin stood proudly in his arms, wearing a scarlet cloak, holding a sword, while Kou Zhun, Yue Fei, Li Mu and Jiuxuan and other civil and military officials stood respectfully on the side and waited for the orders.

At this time, Ma Jin was enjoying the snowy scenery around the mountains and rivers. He was in a very good mood today. Early in the morning, he took the group of people from the camp to the highest peak of Changsheng Mountain, holding the jade railings on the cloud platform to overlook the four sides, which really made him feel like he could be like a leap and a look at the mountains.

At this moment, Ma Jin suddenly pointed to the southwest and asked:

"Dear friends, do you know where is it?"

When the civil and military officials standing beside him heard this, they couldn't help but stretched their necks and looked in the direction Ma Jin pointed. They saw a long green dragon at the end of the vast snow sea in the southwest. They were endless. When they were focused, they saw that there were all high mountains and rivers. They were not as covered with snow as Changsheng Mountain, and they were silent. Instead, they were full of vitality and green, which seemed very eye-catching.

"I will tell you that there is no place in the border between the Song and Liao dynasties - the two realms!" Jiuxuan hurriedly went out to salute.

"Oh, Two Realms Mountain?" Ma Jin muttered, and for a moment he felt a little confused in time. Isn't that a place to suppress Monkey King?

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's the Two Realms Mountain!" Jiuxuan hurriedly replied.

"A mountain is separated by two worlds, it deserves its name!" Looking at the two clearly divided worlds of heaven and earth intertwined in the sky, Ma Jin couldn't help but sigh.

"How far is the two-world mountain from Changsheng Mountain?"

"Your Majesty, it's less than a hundred miles away. If you ride a horse, you can reach the foot of the Two Realms in more than an hour." Jiuxuan replied.

"What area is the Song State opposite the mountain?" Ma Jin asked again, pointing to the Liangjie Mountain.

"Your Majesty, after passing the Liangjie Mountain, it is the Hedong North Road of the Song State, and the Jizhou boundary. There is a valley road leading directly to the Song State, right in front of it. Every year, some tribes drive straight along the valley road when the Qinghuang is not connected, and rob the Song land." Jiuxuan said in a direction southwest.

"Well? In such an important place, has the State of Song not built a pass?" Ma Jin asked in confusion. How could such an important natural barrier have no defensive facilities? The people of Song are too big, so they are not afraid of being able to bring them all over.

"Your Majesty clearly understands that the Song State also established a pass on the Liangjie Mountain a hundred years ago, called the "Twojie Pass". However, it was not long after the pass was built, and it was broken by the Oroqen tribe, one of the eight upper tribes of the Liao Kingdom. From then on, every time the Song State was built, the major tribes of the Liao Kingdom would send troops to destroy it once. It took fifteen or sixteen times back and forth, and consumed countless manpower and material resources in vain, but did not play any role."

"So, since the two realms were breached again thirty years ago, the State of Song has never repaired the two realms. Instead, it has arranged heavy troops to guard the major cities in North Road, South Road and other places. As for the villages and towns outside the city, they were abandoned by the Song court and became victims of pleading with the Liao Kingdom. Just like a hunting ground, major tribes will go to rob each year or two. I don't know how many innocent creatures were brutally killed, but the Song court was indifferent!"

"Hmph, they are all incompetent people who call themselves men..."

Jiuxuan said a little angrily, but when he talked about Song, his words and expressions were full of disdain and shame. Although he was in Liao, his ancestors were indeed Song people who were robbed by the Liao army. I don’t know how much suffering they suffered. It was because he had a little bit of a bone. He entered Changsheng Mountain to get rid of their family as a slave, otherwise he would not have known that he would have died in that corner.

Upon hearing this, Ma Jin nodded undeniably. The Song Empire in this world is very similar to the dynasty in his previous life, but he is even more cowardly and incompetent. According to the secret files of the Inner Guards, in the past seven hundred years since the founding of the State of Song, the princess alone has sent out more than 2,000 people, and on average, two or three people have to be sent out every year. Like cabbage, any country can marry the princess of the State of Song and have to pay an extremely generous dowry, otherwise they will be muttering to launch an army to attack the State of Song.

The most interesting thing is that the royal family of Song State agreed happily. Maybe it was because of family inheritance. Every generation of emperors of Song State pursued a policy of peace. In their opinion, the Song Dynasty was rich and rich. What is it for giving some money? What is it for women? As long as you don’t hit me, we have some things.

For a time, the State of Song became synonymous with "soft persimmons, easy to bully", and the situation of those married princesses of Song State can be imagined. Anyway, it is very miserable. What's more, some countries directly killed the princesses whom they wanted and threw them into the wilderness after getting the wealth they wanted. The royal family of Song State did not care about it at all. Therefore, people in the world say that the status of the princess of Song State is not as good as that of the children of ordinary families. They were born as victims. They must have committed heinous crimes in their previous life, otherwise how could they be born into the royal family of Song State.

"Song Ting Mi family was cowardly and incompetent, unable to uphold the prestige of the country outside, and unable to comfort the people inside. They even regarded the people as pigs and dogs, like grass mustards, and even billions of people in the country lived in dire straits, without covering their bodies, and without filling their stomachs. They were like bamboos in the south mountain, and their crimes were endless, and they were punished in the East China Sea, and they were unable to complete their evil.

I should do my best to heaven, uphold justice, and punish the people and punish crimes to comfort the world!" Ma Jin looked at the direction of Song State silently. After a long time, he said with a righteous spirit.

Ma Jin's declaration immediately caused the generals present to explode. Well, the opportunity to make contributions has come again, and immediately a general jumped out and asked:

"Your Majesty, I am willing to be the vanguard to attack the prosperous Song Dynasty!" This person was Gao Chong, the general of the right-leading guard. Since he came to the grassland, he has only fought a battle, which has almost ruined him. When he heard that there was a war, he couldn't wait to jump out.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!" Huang Zhong, the general of the left-leading guard, also stood up and said. His thoughts were naturally the same as Gao Chong, and he had already been suffocated.

"Your Majesty, I only have 100,000 elite troops, and I will be able to conquer Lin'an within one month and capture the Mi clan and offer you to your Majesty!"

"I am willing to make a verdict!"

At this time, Li Mu also stood up and asked loudly for his order.

For a moment, the crowd was in full swing, and the generals present asked for their orders to fight. It seemed that there was not a powerful empire, but a fat man.

Ma Jin looked at the generals of the Great Zhou who were in high spirits of fighting and smiled. With these generals, why should he worry about not being able to unify the Eastern Region? Unfortunately, it is not the time to conquer Song State. The Great Zhou was too full, and the vast land in the south of the territory was far from digested. Now there is another Liao Kingdom added.

First of all, as the saying goes, "Water will overflow." It is difficult to digest the Liao Kingdom with the current ability of the Great Zhou Dynasty and do not have much energy to care about the Song Kingdom. After all, there is still a shortage of people, but talents are not planted. They can be cut several times a year, and they can only be excavated and cultivated bit by bit. These all take time.

Secondly, the Song State is not as strong as the Liao State. The domestic forces are mixed. What are the factions of nobles, civil officials, military generals, and noble families and gentry, and the interests are intertwined and complex, far from comparable to the Liao State. It is easy to break a Lin'an City, but it is far from disintegrating the Song State. Instead, it will cause the Song State to fall into chaos, add a lot of variables, and make the Zhou Dynasty spend a lot of time to deal with them, which is a bit more costly.

Therefore, it would be better to maintain the status quo if Ma Jin thought it would be better to maintain the status quo. When the Great Zhou Dynasty digested the southern part of the territory and the Liao area, it would be much better to annex the Song State in one fell swoop than the current one in the east and the west, and it would be much better to care about the head and not care about the butt. Thinking of this, Ma Jin waved his hand and said:

"Okay, it's not the time to conquer Song State. I'll discuss this matter later." As soon as I finished speaking, I changed my voice and said:

"But, since you have come, you can't say anything without having to ask for money and supplies from the Song Dynasty court. My great Zhou emperor personally led a large army to help them quell foreign troubles. Is it a good idea to ask for some money, food and supplies?"

"This time I used my hundreds of thousands of troops, and it would cost tens of millions of taels. I was not greedy. I just wanted to give Song State a 50 million taels of meaning. What do you think?"

Kou Zhun immediately stood up and said:

"The wise and wise are your majesty. Our Great Zhou used hundreds of thousands of troops to quell external troubles and prevent them from being invaded. It is also appropriate to ask for some money, food and supplies. In my opinion, it is still less. It is necessary to let the king of Song deliver the treasury with both hands to repay the kindness of our Great Zhou!"

"That's right, the emperor of the Song State is too ignorant. When we fight against the Liao State, we should have sent some money, grain and supplies. Now we have to ask ourselves to ask for it ourselves. It's too shameless." Li Kaigu, the governor of Bingzhou, also muttered.

"Just... it's so shameless!!" all the generals agreed.

"Your Majesty, I also think that the special envoy should be sent to Lin'an, Songdu, and get our things back." Yue Fei also spoke from the side.

At this time, Jiuxuan's expression was already a little dull. Is this still the supreme Great Zhou emperor? What are the other generals who shouted loudly? No matter how you look at it, you will rob something. You can also say it so fresh and refined, so shameless.

In fact, even Ma Jin was shocked by these thick-skinned ministers who were comparable to the city wall. He thought he was thick-skinned enough, but he didn't expect that there was something more shameless than him. The reason he said made him feel ashamed. It's really a shame that he is his good minister.

…………

Since everyone supports asking for money and food, Ma Jin naturally acted as a good person, and said with a solemn expression:

"Li Mu! Zhao Yun!"

"I am here!" Hearing Ma Jin's call, Li Mu and Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped out and knelt on one knee.

"You two represent me, and lead the main force of the Shence Army to Lin'an to get my things from Dazhou back."

"I obey the order, please rest assured that you will definitely bring back our Great Zhou things." Li Mu agreed confidently.
