Chapter 1055 The world situation

In the past two years, Tang Feng has been the one who has changed the most. This change is reflected in his identity - two years ago, Tang Feng was just an inconspicuous ordinary general in the army. He could not compare with generals such as Dong Ping, in terms of ability and credit, so he did not get any high position in the end and only joined the Imperial City and became Si Zheng.

But it was also in the Imperial City Division that Tang Feng used his ability that has always been ignored, that is, his most keen sense of smell and decisive and ruthless means. With the power that the Imperial City Division has always been hidden in the dark, he helped Sun Tu eradicate several enemies who were trying to cause chaos in the capital and made great contributions.

It is precisely because of these methods that Tang Feng's temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes. He is no longer the inconspicuous little officer who was incompetent and inconspicuous, but a terrifying person who can determine the life and death of countless senior officials and generals. But he was a little impatient and showed his sharpness, and now he has become calm and restrained, but his momentum is ten times that of the past, which makes people dare not look at him.

The only thing that has not changed is his loyalty to Sun Tu. Tang Feng is still the good brother who is willing to entrust his life for Sun Tu!

With Sun Tu's support and Tang Feng's efforts, the current Imperial City Department was completely different from that in the capital and in the officialdom, almost nothing could escape their eyes and ears. At the same time, their tentacles extended beyond the Song Dynasty, and some information from the Liao, Jin, Xixia and other places could always be received by them at the first time, and reported to Sun Tu. In a sense, Tang Feng, who was a fifth-rank military vocation, had a role in Sun Tu's role as comparable to Tong Mu.

When Tong Mu saw Tang Feng coming, he was slightly stunned, and then he smiled and stood up to say goodbye. It would be better not to ask about some things, so as not to affect his relationship with Sun Tu. But before he could say he wanted to leave, Sun Tu spoke first: "Second brother, go slowly, Tang Feng, you are here as well. I have something to do here that your people want to do."

"The Grand Marshal just keep the orders." Tang Feng said without any hesitation.

Sun Tu glanced at Tong Mu who sat down again: "I just thought about it again. People from Lin Chong are afraid that it will be difficult for them to get things done, so it is better for the people from the Imperial City Department to take action. In this way, you will discuss with Tang Feng later and make a charter. I only have two requirements, one is to be quick, and the other is to keep the situation within a certain range, so as not to affect this year's autumn harvest."

Tong Mu nodded quickly, but Tang Feng didn't understand what he wanted to do, but he still agreed with his fists. Then he said, "Taiwei, Bei Yi just received important information from the north and west today, so I'll report it."

"Oh? Is there any movement in the Liao Kingdom and Xixia?" Sun Tu was also excited when he heard this, and even sat up straight.

In the past two years, due to Sun Tu's series of thunderous methods and controlling Zhao Ji in his hands, the Song Dynasty had no major troubles. Even because of his series of good policies, he kept reducing taxes and taxes, and sent his trusted people to patrol everywhere, specifically checking accounts and arresting corrupt officials, which made the lives of the people of the world much better than before, thus making the Song Dynasty's national strength flourish.

In comparison, the situation in Xixia and Liao countries is not optimistic.

In fact, Xixia was already peaceful in the country. After all, Li Renyou himself had outstanding abilities. In addition, with the help of veterans like Moghohe, even though they seized power with conspiracies, they had completely controlled the situation later. Even if there was some rebellion, they could suppress it quickly.

But they still made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, and they actually wanted to take advantage of the war between the Song, Liao and Jin Kingdoms to go east and invade the Song Dynasty. As a result, they were naturally defeated by the Western Army, which was prepared, and their national strength was greatly damaged. At the same time, they also formed enemies with Sun Tu.

After the domestic situation stabilizes, Sun Tu naturally cannot let this enemy go, so in the past two years, he has asked the Western Army to take the initiative several times, focusing on killing and destruction, but not occupying the city. Once the Western Xia sends troops to kill, it will be passive defense and constantly consumes its troops, food and grass. In the final analysis, it is a word of consumption.

In this way, Xixia really suffered a lot. The country was not rich, and they were harassed by the Song army for many years. The casualties and losses continued to accumulate. Now they are almost at the end of their lives. Maybe they will be desperate to make the whole country's troops come to the east, which makes Sun Tu be wary.

As for the Liao Kingdom, the situation in the past two years has been even worse, because the country, which was once the most powerful in the northern part of the Central Plains, has now completely split into two forces. Yelu Dashi and Yelu Yanxi, the king and his ministers, have become enemies, and have been fighting for years, but no one can do anything to each other. It is precisely because of this that the Song Dynasty has given the opportunity to develop smoothly, but at the same time, Sun Tu is also very wary of this old opponent. Every time the news of a secret spy on the front side comes, he will ask for information as soon as possible.

Tang Feng nodded: "That's true, what's coming from Xixia is good news. It is their monarch Li Renyou who decided to send envoys to Tokyo for peace. They are willing to pay any price to ask me, the Song Dynasty, not to harass me again. In addition, they also expelled the Liao envoys from the country, saying that from then on, they will only respect me, the Song Dynasty. If this news is true, I am afraid that their envoys have already set out and will come to Tokyo in autumn and winter."

"Oh?" Sun Tu laughed and looked at Tong Mu again: "How about the second brother, I'm still trying to tell you? These barbarians and foreign races have always been afraid of power but have no virtue. The more fierce we beat them, the more honest they are, and they dare not have any dissatisfaction."

Tong Mu was a little stunned, then he remembered that this was a statement mentioned by Sun Tu and himself during the Chinese New Year last year. At that time, he still disagreed with it. He felt that constantly using troops to Xixia would cause endless troubles... This made him feel a little embarrassed at this moment and smiled bitterly: "What the Taiwei said is, my vision is too narrow and I looked up to those Dangxiang people."

"Haha, as long as you deal with them more, especially on the battlefield, you will be able to understand their personalities." Sun Tu said casually, then looked at Tang Feng: "What about the north? What happened to the Liao people?"

"Yelu Yanxi is dead!" Tang Feng's words changed the faces of the other two people. The news came too suddenly. After a while, Sun Tu said slowly: "How did he die? Didn't the news come back three months ago, and the Liao Kingdom has been in a tug-of-war situation and it is difficult to decide the outcome?"

"He was not defeated and killed, but was assassinated by his close confidants!" Tang Feng was also slightly stunned: "The assassin has been following Yelu Yanxi for many years, and it is absolutely impossible for Yelu Dashi to be a man, but he suddenly attacked on the night of April 15th and assassinated his monarch like crazy. Yelu Yanxi was completely unprepared and was killed on the spot..."

"It seems that this should be what Yelu Dashi used to force the man to suddenly betray the truth." Sun Tu pondered for a while, but did not make too much trouble on this matter, but cared about the follow-up: "What about after his death? What will happen to the soldiers gathered under his command?"

"One of them suddenly dispersed, and some turned against each other in front of the formation and threw themselves at Yelu Dashi. As for the part left, they supported his son Yelu Changxing as the emperor and wanted to continue to deal with Yelu Dashi. However, judging from the situation when the news came, their defeat was not far away, and they would not last until the end of this year at the latest."

Sun Tu took a deep breath: "It seems that the civil strife in Liao Kingdom will be quelled..."

Tong Mu, who was familiar with him, looked furious when he saw him: "Does the Taiwei want to use troops against Liao again?"

"Yes. In the past two years, the reason why I have not told Yue Fei and Dong Ping not to have any abnormal movements is that I want to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, so as to consume the national strength and military strength of the Liao Kingdom. But now, they have to decide the winner, and this is the time when they are weakest. Yelu Dashi cannot give him the opportunity to restore his national strength, and he must use troops as soon as possible. In this way, it is determined that this is the time when the remaining generals of Yelu Yanxi are destroyed before they are destroyed, and they will be able to kill them." Sun Tu quickly gave his own decision. Of course, this is just the initial decision now. Later, he has to discuss details with many generals to find the most reasonable and appropriate opportunity to send troops.

The three most powerful people in Tokyo now smiled and talked about the situation of the Three Kingdoms in the world. After discussing for a while, Tong Mu stood up and said goodbye. As the chief official of the Political Affairs Hall, he had a very heavy responsibility, so he naturally could not leave for too long.

And shortly after he left, Tang Feng suddenly looked somber again: "Taiwei, there are already some clues about what you asked Bei Yi to investigate in secret."

"Oh? He really has a problem?"

"Although he looks very low-key on the surface, he always contacts many officials and generals in the court in the name of gathering people to drink, and some of them are even more important."

"Well, keep a low profile, but make friends with a lot of friends. Does this person want to be that Wang Yun?" Sun Tu narrowed his eyes: "But I am not Dong Zhuo. So is he related to the secret force he cooperated with Cai Jing and the others two years ago?"

For the past two years, Tang Feng has been investigating the hidden power that cooperated with Cai Jing's remaining party to cause chaos in the capital, but he has not gained anything until today. Now Sun Tu asked again, and he also showed shame: "It shouldn't be him. The man hid too deeply, but there is a little humble position that can be confirmed that he is a military man, not something that civil servants can do."

"Then do you think he and the two sides are united?" Sun Tu put forward a new view, but Tang Feng's heart moved: "Yes, maybe I can use this line to catch this guy who has been hiding for two years out of the water. Fortunately, I haven't touched him, otherwise I would have missed the opportunity."
