God left only two options for Jin Guo and Wanyan Liang.

One is to repair Kaifeng desperately and insist on attacking the Song Dynasty. The southern expedition to Shandong and Hebei was just a transitional strategy. The real purpose was to conquer the Southern Song Dynasty and eliminate the Southern Song Dynasty.

Another thing is to stop expanding Kaifeng, use the funds to build the navy, defeat the Navy of the Restoration Army, and then go south to attack Hebei and Shandong with confidence, and then recuperate and attack Song.

There is no doubt that the second option is more secure and more in line with the current situation of internal and external troubles in the Jin Dynasty.

That is to say, it takes five, six, seven or eight years.

The first option is very aggressive and dangerous, but it can be seen in a short period of time.

Wanyan Liang fell into a tangle.

Of course he didn't want the Jin Kingdom to collapse, but he also hoped that he could see the results faster.

The ministers remained silent, waiting for Wanyan Liang to make the final decision.

After thinking for a while, Wanyan Liang had already leaned towards the second option in his heart, leaving only a little unwillingness to linger in his heart, making him unable to make the right choice.

After a while, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, and decided to announce his decision.

"It's over, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Wanyan Liang was stunned, and then a bold idea emerged in his mind.

Maybe this method is OK?

The strong sense of déjà vu made him blurt out and ask a question.

"It has been more than a year since the Han thief army rebelled, right?"

The ministers didn't know what the emperor meant.

Heshi Lie Liangbi took a step forward.

“That’s right.”

"It's been more than a year... I have a doubt, I don't know if you can answer it for me."

Wanyan Liang looked at the ministers below and spoke with a strange expression: "Tell me, the Han thief army in Shandong, Hebei has been in trouble for more than a year, why did the Song State in the south have no reaction at all?"

The ministers were stunned when they heard the emperor's question.

It's true that for so long, they were too busy dealing with the resistance of the Restoration Army and the Khitans, and they had no time to think about other issues.

They had considered the reaction of Song State in the early days, but the Song State had not made any noise later, so they chose to ignore Song State's actions and focused on responding to domestic problems.

Until now, Wanyan Liang took the initiative to raise this question.

On the surface, there is nothing wrong with this. The two countries have been in peace for more than ten years after the peace agreement was concluded. It is normal not to fight. The Song State does not send troops to take advantage of the situation to rob. This is a good phenomenon of strictly observing the peace agreement. Isn’t it strange?

Of course it's strange!

On the surface, the Jin and Song countries made peace agreements. Hello, I, Hello, everyone, but in fact the hatred between the two countries is as deep as the sea.

Not to mention that Zhao Gou still represents the Southern Song Dynasty to submit to the Jin Kingdom, and is a child emperor in his identity.

Just talking about so many of his relatives and many of them still live in the Jin Dynasty, with an awkward situation and a low status, which is enough to make the two countries unhappy.

Three years ago, Wanyan Liang killed Emperor Jingkang of Song State Zhao Huan. At that time, some people in the Jin Dynasty were uneasy about this, fearing that this would anger Song State and prompt Song State to go north to attack the Central Plains. Some people tried their best to block the news from being leaked and not let the Southern Song Dynasty know.

So far, the Southern Song Dynasty did not know that Zhao Huan was dead.

So to be honest, it is not surprising that the Southern Song Dynasty launched an attack on the Jin Kingdom.

But with such a good opportunity, the Southern Song Dynasty did not respond at all.

When the Guangfu Army attacked Nanjing Road, the Song army was on the border. If it sent troops to support it, it would be unknown whether Kong Yanzhou could hold on. It is likely that it would not be able to hold on. Judging from Kong Yanzhou's level.

However, the Southern Song Dynasty did not send troops to support the attack of the Liberation Army, and watched the big fighter's opportunity be lost.

At that time, Jin Ting was immersed in the joy of victory in the war and did not pay much attention to why the Southern Song Dynasty did not send troops. But now thinking about it, the Southern Song Dynasty really seemed to have no response to this war that happened under their noses.

This is indeed very strange.

The chaos in Hebei and Shandong was so fierce that logically speaking, the Southern Song Dynasty should have sent troops north to ecstasy to deal with the Jin army with the Restoration Army and tried to restore the Central Plains. However, from the beginning to the present, the Southern Song Dynasty was surprisingly calm.

The ministers were silent for a while, but finally Heshi Lieliangbi stood up.

"The State of Song and our country have entered into a peace treaty, and they do not violate each other. So far, the State of Song has still abide by the peace treaty and has not taken advantage of the situation. This is a normal behavior."

“It’s that simple?”

"I think there will be no mistakes."

"What if I wanted to ask the Song State to attack the Han thief army from north to south?"

Wanyan Liang said this and frightened the ministers.

"This... Your Majesty, this may be a bit..."

Wanyan Liang looked at Heshi Lie Liangbi.

"If Song State really abides by the peace agreement and regards me as the sect leader, then I want them to send troops to help, and they will definitely agree. At worst, they can promise a few prefectures to them afterwards. But if they don't come, they have a strange intention and I can attack them openly."

So that's it...

Is His Majesty the Emperor still unwilling to give up on the attack on Song Dynasty?

Heshi Lie Liangbi looked at Wanyan Liang in disbelief, and suddenly felt that he could see Xiao Huaizhong's shadow from Wanyan Liang.

How decisive Xiao Huaizhong was at that time, and how decisive Wanyan Liang was.

In this chaos, under Wanyan Liang's chaotic command, the Jin Kingdom suffered a great disaster, and both the people, the government and the army suffered huge losses.

The people are very resentful, the army is dissatisfied, and the bureaucratic system is also quite dissatisfied...

All parties have very serious dissatisfaction with Wanyan Liang. If the rebellion is simply to quell the dissatisfaction with him, it may not be enough to calm all parties' dissatisfaction with him.

He had spent too much money to damage too many interests, and the entire Jin Dynasty was full of resentment towards him.

Just to quell the rebellion, perhaps not enough benefits may be obtained to make up for the damaged people.

Only by successfully attacking Song and even attacking Song can we obtain enough benefits and calm the dissatisfaction of all parties in the country.

For Wanyan Liang, this may not be a choice, but a thing that must be done.

Wanyan Liang has gone from wanting to actively gain authority to improve his legitimacy to passively gain authority to consolidate his status. The two are completely different in terms of mentality.

His status is shaky, and he needs to punch hard to stabilize his position.

The massive attack of the Restoration Army has forced him to the edge of the cliff. If he can no longer prove his value to the Jin Kingdom, someone will probably recreate his "feat" of killing his former emperor.

After understanding this key point, Heshi Lieliangbi was shocked and suddenly felt a huge crisis coming.

An emperor with this mentality is likely to kill his own people before defeating the enemy.

In the end, all enemies may not be eliminated.

"Your Majesty, please think twice! I think it is the best situation for the southern country to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. Never involve the southern country!"

Wanyanliang's face was calm.

"Why?"

"We have already attacked on both sides and cannot add a third opponent."

Heshi Lieliangbi shouted: "The southern country may be for complying with the peace agreement, or for some other reason. They did not go north. If His Majesty forced him, it would be very likely that the southern country would be completely pushed to the Han thief army, and that would be a big deal!"

"He dares not!"

Wanyan Liang pounded the table: "Old Zhao Gou has been scared by us for a long time. He will never attack the Great Jin Kingdom! If he wanted to do this, he would not need my coercion, so he would naturally do this, but he did not!

What does this mean? It means that Zhao Gou's old man is afraid of the great Jin Tianwei and dare not be an enemy of me! So I forced him and would only let him do what I said, just like he would rather kill Yue Fei in order to negotiate peace."

The ministers didn't know how to refute the emperor's words, because the emperor's words sounded like an inexplicable persuasion.

Zhao Gou's old man killed a general like Yue Fei in order to negotiate peace. Yue Fei really had no way to fight Wanyan and others. Faced with the strategic attack of the Yue family army, Wanyan and others even discussed surrendering.

But Zhao Gou killed this war god who Wanyan hated to his bones but could not be hurt.

This may be the legendary slutty bone?

Despite this, the ministers still do not recommend that Wanyan Liang use this method to intimidate the head of state.

Because Zhao Gou has no courage, it does not mean that he has no courageous ministers under his command. Wanyan Liang's clear threats. If Zhao Gou cannot withstand the strong demands of the ministers, he may still make an offensive decision if the public is angry and infringed.

But Wanyan Liang has decided on this matter. Since he has decided, it means that this matter cannot be changed.
