Zhao Kaishan is a wine lover.

After he became the family, he was known for being able to drink and dared to drink. He was famous among the group of landlords and gentry in several surrounding states.

How could such a wine lover who never pours a thousand cups of wine be drunk and talk nonsense in just a few seconds?

No matter how you hear the words, it sounds like a temptation, and it feels quite simple, and only when you are drunk can you not cause deep thought.

Perhaps Zhao Kaishan had such a plan.

Despite this, Su Yonglin's answer was also full of water and various changes to the topic.

This made Zhao Zuoliang, who was well versed in speaking, even felt that Zhao Kaishan's strategy of pretending to be drunk and thus clichés had been seen through by Su Yonglin.

"Uncle, are you sincere about what Yuting said just now?"

When Zhao Kaishan saw Zhao Zuoliang coming, he didn't feel surprised, so he asked when he caught him.

Zhao Zuoliao walked to Zhao Kaishan and sat down slowly.

"I can't say it's true. Su Yuting is young, but has very strong abilities, and is also extremely smart. I can't tell how true and false what he said is. The only thing I can be sure of is that he really wants to fight against gold and expel the gold man."

Zhao Kaishan held his cheek, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it.

"I don't doubt this, but I don't know that after he made such a great contribution, he doesn't want personal rewards. As long as the soldiers receive rewards, it seems like they are winning people's hearts."

"Maybe it is to buy people's hearts or to win people's hearts openly."

Zhao Zuoliang said, "Kaishan, I feel that Su Yuting's doing this may be the best choice for him. He is already the general of the Five Prefectures. What else does he want? What else he wants, can you easily accept what he wants?"

Zhao Kaishan remained silent.

Zhao Zuoliang then said: "Compared with other names, taking the opportunity to win people's hearts is the best choice. You won't feel unacceptable, and he won't get anything, so I said he is extremely smart."

"Did he mean it?"

"Of course it was intentional."

Looking at Zhao Kaishan's suspicion on his face, Zhao Zuoliang sighed.

"But it's hard to say that he did something wrong on purpose. I think he did it right. At least from his words and deeds just now, I feel that he is not the kind of person who takes credit and is very sensible and does not out of his way.

More importantly, it seems that he does not think about threatening your status. You test him from many aspects and his answers are indecent. Even if he does it on purpose, he is unwilling to conflict with you and threaten you."

After hearing this, Zhao Kaishan thought about Su Yonglin's various behaviors just now, and felt that what Zhao Zuolliang said made sense.

"So, Yuting did not take credit for his own contributions and even wanted to threaten my status?"

"It's probably that."

Zhao Zuoliang thought about it seriously and said, "Even if I have never had any good feelings for him, I can't find out his faults. He is a man of dealing with people, marching and conquest, governing people's livelihood, foreign exchanges, and various internal affairs, foreign affairs and military affairs. Not to mention how good he has done, at least he has done nothing wrong."

Zhao Zuoliang said this, and Zhao Kaishan felt a little relieved at first, but soon felt nervous again.

"It would be a bit scary to do nothing. He was just a private salt dealer. Where did he learn the skills? Did he learn from his grandfather who was an official?"

"That's hard to say. In short, such a person is indeed a bit scary."

Although he was a little dissatisfied with Zhao Kaishan's narrow mind, Zhao Zuoliang had to admit Su Yonglin's terribleness.

Not to mention how well or right you do everything, just not making mistakes, it is something that many people can't do even if they work hard.

If you don’t make mistakes in the military, don’t make mistakes in government affairs, and don’t make mistakes in dealing with people, how terrible is this person?

And he is now considering the overall situation and not conflicting with you, but who knows when the situation in the world changes, and he doesn't need to consider the overall situation. By that time, he directly conflicts with you, are you an opponent?

Zhao Zuoliao believes that the five Zhao Kaishan tied together are not Su Yonglin's opponents.

Although it is a bit of a shame to Zhao Kaishan to say this, Zhao Zuoliang feels that such a strength comparison is already his preference for Zhao Kaishan as a relative. If he really wants to compare it, I am afraid that ten Zhao Kaishan can tie Su Yonglin.

So he was worried.

"I even think that it is not a big deal for you, who is stronger on the surface, more soldiers, and more disgusted with your grandson Yi. He at least made it clear that he was against you, but Su Yuting did not. He still regarded you as the main one, but he could defeat such a terrible enemy."

Zhao Zuoliang sighed deeply, with a sad face: "Kaishan, now you are in a situation where you are in the melon field and plum blossoms. Every word and action are extremely eye-catching. You must not blatantly oppose Su Yuting.

He is the time when he is most prestige and the highest reputation. Now you are against him and do something that is not good for him will make others dissatisfied and stand up for Su Yuting. Some people will feel sad when they die."

So Zhao Kaishan's worries became even heavier.

Facing an opponent who is indifferent to water, anyone else will feel embarrassed.

More importantly, this person doesn't even want to think he is an opponent.

He had nowhere to start, and he did not dare to start rashly, for fear of causing a counterattack from public opinion.

"By the way, Kaishan, Dongping Prefecture, and even Yanzhou may be under the control of Su Yuting. If we want to go west, we may have to take a little further path or take a walk with Su Yuting. In short, it is quite troublesome."

Zhao Zuolliang's words completely ignited the pile of firewood in Zhao Kaishan's heart called [Suspect].

Zhao Kaishan also has a long-term plan for sustainable development.

Before this war started, Zhao Kaishan held many meetings with his subordinates to discuss how they should develop after conquering Shandong.

Since the slogan of the Restoration Army is [Exorcisting the Hu Guan and Restoring China], it is necessary to do the corresponding things to win the hearts of the people, otherwise it will fail.

To this end, we must not stop here after conquering Shandong. We must develop externally, occupy more land, and cultivate greater strength.

So everyone is planning whether to go to the Northern Expedition or the Western Expedition.

Generally speaking, Zhao Kaishan's group was divided into two factions, one supported the Northern Expedition and the other supported the Western Expedition.

Those who support the Northern Expedition believe that the Western Expedition is wrong. Since they want to rebel, they should simply fight to the north, face the difficulties, and call on the locals to fight against the Jin army head-on, and defeat their main force.

Those who support the Western Expedition believe that the Northern Expedition is too difficult, and it is better to seize the weak points of the Jin army's strength than to go to the Northern Expedition when it is strong.

The Northern Expedition faction objected, believing that the Jin army would not give the Liberation Army a lot of time to develop itself, and would definitely go south to attack the Liberation Army as soon as there was a way.

The Western Expedition faction believed that the Northern Expedition would directly face the elite main force of the Jin army. Wouldn't it be defeated by a battle?

The two sides argued, but there were obviously more people who supported the Western Expedition than those who supported the Northern Expedition.

Finally, Zhao Kaishan, out of political considerations, considered Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi who were guarding the north, decided to take the Western Expedition and then develop to the Guanzhong region, breaking the Jin Kingdom with one arm.

He believed that the Western Expedition was actually easier because he did not have to face the elite cavalry guarding the northern grasslands of the Jin Kingdom.

In this way, Dongping Prefecture, a waterway transportation hub, needs to obtain Dongping Prefecture, and use the manpower and transportation benefits of Dongping Prefecture to help him further develop westward.

As for the super uncertain factor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kaishan, who was aroused by ambition, set the principle of not taking the initiative to contact, that is, if the Southern Song Dynasty did not look for him, he would not go to the Southern Song Dynasty.

And don’t have any conflicts with the Southern Song Dynasty. The troops stationed in several southern states need to pay attention to maintaining a certain distance and relatively friendly relationship with the Southern Song Dynasty. Everyone should not violate the rivers.

Zhao Kaishan looked down on Zhao Gou, and at the same time felt that he could achieve great victory without relying on the Southern Song Dynasty.

Everyone avoided the Southern Song Dynasty. When the Southern Song Dynasty took the initiative to come to him, he would take a specific look at the specific issues.

Generally speaking, the strategy of moving west will not change.

However, the impact of this wave of defeat is too great.

This wave of failure directly affected the grand strategy set by Zhao Kaishan for himself, and he lost the opportunity to master Dongping Prefecture, a water and land transportation hub.
