As the saying goes: Before the troops were moved, food and grass were taken first, because Jin Yunhou was arrested by Ye Qing in Song Town. He was also captured by Ye Qing at the first time and brought the person to Wanyan Fuxing, the left prime minister of the Jin Kingdom. Before Jinting got any advantage from Goryeo, he had to compromise with the Song court and ensure that the Song army had sufficient food and grass supplies because of the Goryeo monks.

When Wanyan Fuxing saw Jin Yunhou, he was almost set on the spot. If Ye Qing, who had not personally taken over, came forward to speak, Jia She would even think that standing in front of them was a statue, not a living person.

"Don't worry, only you and I know about this matter for the time being. Others include Wanyan Xun and..." Ye Qing smiled and looked at Wanyan Fuxing, who was still a little shocked, paused and continued, "Including Cui Zhongxian and his son, I don't know that Jin Yunhou has been bribed by you now."

When Wanyan Fuxing heard Ye Qing say this, he immediately turned sadness into joy, and his eyes lit up and said, "I really thank you King Yan for this."

"Is it really just a thank you?" Ye Qing immediately beat the snake and followed the stick.

Wanyan Fuxing was stunned for a moment, then asked Ye Qing for advice with his eyes, then waved his hand and signaled everyone in the hall to go out first.

Jia She, Yelu Yixue and others, after seeing Ye Qing nodding, then they walked out of the hall with an arrow wound on their legs, stood under the dim lights, and admired the night sky that was about to dawn.

"It's not too long, and it's almost dawn. Once Jin Yunhou does not appear in front of Cui Zhongxian and his son, this may not be a good sign for Zuo Prime Minister, and it is not a piece of news for your country and your emperor Wanyan Xun." Ye Qingjing sat down and said lightly.

Wanyan Fuxing's gaze followed Ye Qing. After Ye Qing sat down, he did not sit down immediately, but turned around and looked at Ye Qing solemnly. Of course, he understood the reminders and truths in Ye Qing's words, as well as the dilemma that Jin Yunhou might have caused to him and the Jin Kingdom once the incident happened.

Even if they don’t care whether the bribery of Jin Yunhou is found out by Cui Zhongxian and his son, will Cui Zhongxian and his son beware of their Jin Ting from the bottom of their hearts and whether it will make Cui Zhongxian and his son lean towards Song Ting.

Personally, this is a matter that is enough to make him lose power in the court again. In Huining, Zhang Qiyan had already gained the upper hand, and then he persuaded him in front of Wanyan Xun. In addition, he had always been in charge of Cui Zhongxian's side. This made the power of seeing off Cui Zhongxian and how to assist Cui Zhongxian in rebellion after garrisoning in Liaoyang fell into his hands.

Now that Ye Qing breaks the bribery of Jin Yunhou, it will probably not be so easy for him, Wanyan Fuxing to keep his current mission from being taken away by Zhang Qiyan.

Once Zhang Qiyan defeated him Wanyan Fuxing again, Wanyan Fuxing also believed that if he wanted to gain Wanyan Xun's trust and reuse, he would probably have a slim chance.

He thought about the pros and cons of this incident, and then slowly sat down next to Ye Qing. Since Ye Qing brought the person to him, it means... there are still talks, and he has not been forced to the point of no choice.

"Dare you ask the King of Yan... what is going to deal with this Jin Yunhou?" Wanyan Fuxing asked tentatively.

"What do you think Zuo Xiang?" Ye Qing asked back without answering, and this question without answering immediately made Wanyan Fuxing breathe a sigh of relief.

His expression suddenly became relaxed, and after a knowing smile appeared, he said, "If the King of Yan is more trusting than a minister, why not give Jin Yunhou to me to deal with it?"

"Of course." Ye Qing nodded with a smile.

Then he slowly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve bag and pressed it on the table and slowly pushed it towards Wanyan Fuxing.

Wanyan Fuxing has been in the officialdom for many years, so he naturally knew that there was no absolutely free banquet in the world. And now he gradually understood that Ye Qing's saying that brings people to him, at least it means that only he can help Ye Qing fulfill his conditions.

There are not many words on the paper, and to sum it up, there are only two points. One is that before the beginning of winter, I hope that the 20,000 troops of the Song court can be stationed in the barracks outside Liaoyang City to prepare for the next rebellion of Cui Zhongxian.

The second point is closely related to the first thing, that is, the cost of food, supplies, etc. for 20,000 soldiers and horses, was borne by Jin Ting.

The reason why Ye Qing proposed these two points was nothing more than that because Jin Yunhou broke into Song Town tonight, Ye Qing had to strengthen his defense of Song Town. The Jin man Ye Qing obviously believed it, not to mention... Song Town now has a former queen of Jin, Li Shier, who was thought to Wanyan Xun, but Song Ting was unwilling to return it immediately.

Wanyan Fuxing had long expected that the conditions for Ye Qing to bring people to "result" this time will definitely not be simple, but he did not expect that Ye Qing's conditions would be so harsh.

I couldn't help but sigh, and then looked out the window of Jiangming. There was really not much time left for him to consider.

"I will convince the saint with all my might..." Wanyan Fuxing said carefully.

Before Ye Qing could finish his words, he immediately shook his head, obviously disagreeing with Wanyan Fuxing to drag these two things down, and he must have a clear answer tonight.

"The King of Yan must also know that this matter is of great importance. If it is once..." Wanyan Fuxing sighed again, and to be honest, if it is possible, neither he nor Wanyan Xun would want to see the Song court's army enter the Jin realm unimpeded.

After all, no matter whether Jin Ting and Song Ting have signed a letter of friendship forever, Ye Qing's ambitions for the Jin Kingdom are well known. Even if the two countries want to jointly help Gaoli Cui Zhongxian seek benefits, the Jin Kingdom would never dare to relax in the slightest of Song Ting.

The crux of all is that the hatred between the Jin Dynasty and the Song Dynasty was too deep and too difficult to resolve.

Wanyan Fuxing bit his lip and was reluctant to speak for a long time. This incident obviously made him feel embarrassed. After all, once the Song Ting army came in, it would really be a problem of raising a tiger. But if he disagrees at the moment, no one can guarantee whether Ye Qing would beg Jin Yunhou in a blink of an eye to question the crime when Gao Li and Cui Zhongxian left.

And once the fact that Kim Yunhou has been bribed by them is broken, the consequences will be really unimaginable.

Wanyan Fuxing, who was trapped in a battle between heaven and man, was extremely conflicted and anxious. After all, there was not much time left for him to think, while Ye Qing seemed relaxed and leisurely, sitting on a chair and closing his eyes to rest. He believed that Wanyan Fuxing would agree in the end.

As expected, in just a cup of tea, Ye Qing heard Wanyan Fuxing gritting his teeth and saying, "Okay, I'll make the decision on this matter. King Yan can now order 20,000 troops to garrison outside Liaoyang City. All the expenses in Liaoyang will be responsible for our Great Jin Kingdom."

"Lord Zuo Xiang is happy." The smile on Ye Qing's mouth gradually spread, and then he opened his eyes and looked at Wanyan Fuxing with his frown.

After thinking about it, Wanyan Fuxing said with some concern: "But I hope that the King of Yan will abide by the agreement and will never lead more troops to Liaoyang. Now the King of Yan has nearly 5,000 troops in Liaoyang, so the King of Yan will be enough to dispatch 15,000 people this time."

Ye Qing's eyes were a little confused, and his smile was full of sarcasm: "The Zuo Prime Minister is really a good plan. If this is the case, wouldn't I lose? Besides, I had already agreed to Wanyan Xun at the beginning. In addition to the 4,000 people under my command, I mobilized another 20,000 people to station in Liaoyang."

Wanyan Fuxing was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and sighed: "The King of Yan is really a matter of scruples. No wonder the King of Yan has always been able to cover the sky with one hand in the Song court."

"Since that's the case, I'll hand over the person to you. Of course, I hope the left prime minister will immediately inform your country's defenders that the 20,000 troops of our Song court were about to enter Liaoyang." Ye Qing stood up with a smile and said.

Wanyan Fuxing sighed repeatedly, but his expression was much more relaxed than when he saw Ye Qing just now. After smiling and greeting Ye Qing a few times, he watched Ye Qing leave the mansion when the sky was gray.

The sky was getting brighter and the gray morning seemed a little cold, but there were already early-washing merchants on the streets and began to be busy. After the carriages arrived in Song Town, more and more vendors on both sides of the street became more and more lively, making the originally cold streets a little more lively.

On the cold street, the carriage stopped in front of a breakfast shop. The enthusiastic shopkeeper and his servant looked at the extremely beautiful carriage, with a bit of awe in his eyes. When Ye Qing, who was already middle-aged, walked off the carriage, the shopkeeper and his servant immediately lowered their heads and dared not look at Ye Qing, who seemed to have a hint of oppression.

Jia She and Yelu Yixue took the lead in choosing a table to sit on the left and right, while Ye Qing was very interested and walked around the steaming large iron pot for a few times before asking the shopkeeper about the delicious food.

When Ye Qing sat down between Jia She and Yelu Yixue, waiting for the shopkeeper to deliver breakfast, Yelu Yixue couldn't help but ask for the doubts in his heart.

"Why did King Yan bring people to Wanyan Fuxing? Isn't it more beneficial for us to bring them directly to Cui Zhongxian to ask for guilt?" Yelu Yixue asked, and Jia She also nodded to seek knowledge.

Ye Qing sighed helplessly, rubbed his cheeks that had not been asleep for a night with both hands, and then said helplessly: "Do you think I don't want to do this? But if you do this, it seems that you can get benefits from Goryeo in a short time, but in the long run, it is far from using Jin Yunhou to trade with Jin Ting."

"Why?" This time it was Jia She who spoke.

After Ye Qing thanked the shopkeeper, he held the chopsticks in one hand and thought about it, "You two can be considered experts in war now. So I ask you two... how much does it cost to be if you want to have 20,000 soldiers in Jin Dynasty who are intact?"

Jia She and Yelu Yixue looked at each other. Even though they could figure it out, if they wanted to take root in the Jin Dynasty during the war, at least nearly 50,000 soldiers would have to attack, and this did not include the cost of food, grass and other materials.

What's more, if you want to fight from Yuguan to Liaoyang Prefecture and gain a foothold, then... let's not talk about how much materials and supplies are spent, even the heads will probably not be given away. This will allow the Song army to station 20,000 troops in Liaoyang.

"King of Yan..." Yelu Yixue stuffed his mouth and chewed it a few times, then asked in confusion: "But the Jin people agreed to us that after the spring of next year, they would also let the border troops let 20,000 of us come to Liaoyang?"

"When it comes, won't it be possible to get 20,000 people in without any effort?" Jia She also asked vaguely.

"This is the time and there is a moment. Wanyan Xun promised that we could enter Liaoyang this year, but as late autumn approaches, the war obviously would not start so soon. Wanyan Xun has changed his mind after Wanyan Fuxing arrived in Liaoyang, and changed it to let us mobilize troops to enter Liaoyang next year?" After Ye Qing finished speaking, he began to lower his head to eat.

Jia She, holding the chopsticks, was stunned for a moment, and said a little puzzled: "Is the King of Yan afraid that Wanyan Xun will change his mind after the beginning of spring next year and will not allow us to enter Liaoyang to help Goryeo? Is he trying to take over Liaoyang alone? Or..."

"Maybe both have concerns, both of whom are afraid that we will get too close to Goryeo, and we will benefit after their troops are consumed in Goryeo. What's more, if Cui Zhongxian and Wanyan Xun do nothing to defeat Goryeo, then it will be difficult for us to make another excuse when we don't need to settle in. At that time, once Wanyan Xun and Cui Zhongxian become stronger, even if we want to attack for a strong attack, the price will probably be quite high." Ye Qing wiped his mouth, looked at the increasingly pedestrians on the cold street, and continued: "Of course, there is another reason..."

Ye Qing looked up at the sky that was gradually brightening, let out a breath of heat, and felt the cold in the air, saying, "I have signed a letter of nationality with the Mongolian envoys, and there are also conditions for me to agree to Temujin. Now the cold winter is coming, and the days of the Mongolian people on the grassland will become more difficult because of Temujin's western expedition. Therefore, one of the conditions for Temujin to agree to Temujin is that we need to provide them with food and grass supplies. This is a considerable expense for us. The north is short of food and grass, and it has always been supplied by Lin'an. But people eat horses and chew it, and 40% of the food and grass will be consumed along the way, and it will be good to get 50% of the food and grass. So, before the canal is opened, we still need to tighten our belts to live."

"So, King Yan, you forced the Jin Kingdom to agree to move into Liaoyang with 20,000 troops. You wouldn't have the intention to solve the food and grass problem for 20,000 troops, right?" Yelu Yixue calculated with his fingers, but his head was still covered in a ball of paste.

"Yes, it's a little bit easier to save. Moreover, in this way, it's much easier to station 20,000 troops in Liaoyang without any effort. This is much easier than using attack to obtain it. In short, the next step is also a bit unrelaxed. No matter what the domestic situation in Goryeo, as long as Wanyan Xun's 50,000 troops entered Goryeo, we will have the opportunity to break up the Jin Kingdom in the future." Ye Qing sighed.

"The best way is to let the 50,000 troops of the Jin Kingdom be restrained by Goryeo and unable to separate their affairs. In this way, it will be more beneficial for us to attack Jin." Yelu Yixue nodded and said.
