1317 Zhao Pan'er's Loyalty

Master Liu Ke had to calm down and ponder Zhao Paner's suggestions. Of course, he also knew very well who Zhao Paner was speaking this at this time.

Liu Ke has been hearing about the current affairs between Zhao Kuo and Ye Qing, the King of Yan, for many years, and even in some things, he knows much more than others.

When the Empress Dowager was the first to arrive in Yanjing, Liu Keshi had always had his own unique views and concerns, but in view of the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the King of Yan, Liu Keshi had always kept some words in his heart.

As for the future change of Yanjing to the capital of the Song Dynasty, Liu Keshi also supported Ye Qing's support for the court, but Liu Keshi believed that there was no need to be so anxious about the court's move to the capital, or to work together with the attack on Jin Dynasty.

Liu Keshi always thought that the King of Yan should have suppressed the entire Jin Kingdom and then supported the court's plan to move the capital to Yanjing.

Therefore, when the Empress Dowager Li Fengniang faintly revealed the imperial court's plan to move the capital after arriving in Yanjing, Liu Keshi was actually dissatisfied.

As the saying goes, the magpie's nest is occupied. Whether it is Yanjing or even the entire northern land, the King of Yan led thousands of soldiers under his command. How many times have he experienced dangers and life and death taken down?

During this process, did the Song Ting give the King of Yan? There is no, and even at certain specific times, the Song Ting wanted to unite others to get rid of the King of Yan in the court to eliminate future troubles.

Although the relationship between the monarch and ministers was indeed harmonious and trusted a lot since the young emperor Zhao Kuo ascended the throne and after the conflict between the king and the king of Yan had with him, the relationship between the monarch and ministers was indeed harmonious and trusted a lot. Even the most elite army of the Hua family under the command of the King of Yan was sent to the army of the sage Zhao Kuo in the south to fight against Dali, Ziqi and Luodian.

But even so, Liu Keshi was still worried about the court. After all, over the years, the court's attitude towards the King of Yan has always been a fence-bearer and falls with the wind.

In recent years, King Yan was not in Lin'an. Liu Keshi could not be sure that the court without the King of Yan was still as he did before, and he still followed the King of Yan's only leader?

So this time, when the Emperor Zhao Kuo secretly went to Yanjing, people had to guess too much about the intention and purpose of it. Should the King of Yan have no time to take care of the matter of Yanjing when he was attacking Jin, so that the Emperor Zhao Kuo thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it? Or... take this opportunity to completely reject the King of Yan outside the pass and then stop?

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were as solid as natural barriers. Especially since the King of Yan took over many passes such as Yanjing and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the defenses of various fortresses led by Yuguan were strengthened by the King of Yan, and the troops stationed were much more than the Jin soldiers at that time.

So once the sage Zhao Kuo arrives in Yanjing and then recaptures the generals of various passes one after another, will he undermine the influence and power of the King of Yan in Yanjing?

"The King of Yan has not returned to Yanjing for nearly two years, and has never been back since the New Year's Day to Liaoyang. Last year, the King of Yan planned to return to Yanjing, but because of heavy snow, when the King of Yan rushed back to Liaoyang from Gaoli Baozhou, it was too late." Zhao Paner slowly sat down on the chair, looked at Liu Keshi who was paced back and forth and thoughtful, and continued, "Now the King of Yan personally led his troops to Danluo to block Wanyan Fuxing in order to reduce the situation.

The pressure on Liaoyang is 20,000 to 80,000 people. Although Pan'er does not understand military affairs, he also knows that this huge gap in military strength cannot be compensated by strategy. So even if we believe that the King of Yan will return triumphantly like every battle in his years of military career, it is obvious that the King of Yan also needs time. After all, the King of Yan is a human, not a god, and he obviously cannot take into account all kinds of things in Danluo, Liaoyang, and especially Yanjing, right?"

"Miss Panerai is right." Liu Keshi frowned, and his eyes were on the letter from the Yan King who had been in his hand.

Zhao Paner looked at Liu Keshi's hesitant expression, then looked at the letter in his hand that seemed to be as heavy as a mountain, bit his lip and said, "Mr. Liu believes that...even the contents of this letter are all praises from the current saint Zhao Kuo to the King of Yan, and the honesty between their monarchs and ministers, but... can these be believed completely? Are these really the facts and purposes of the current saint going to Yanjing? Could it be that the current saint delayed the war? Does Lord. Liu really dare to be sure?"

A word woke up from the dreamer. Master Liu Ke immediately raised his head and looked at Zhao Paner with a shocked look.

"Thank you, Miss Pan'er, for reminding me that Liu was really too concerned about the content of this letter or the attitude of this letter just now, so that... he almost fell into a dilemma. However, after Miss Pan'er's reminder, Liu already understood how to make a decision." Master Liu Ke said firmly with his eyes.

Ye Qing was not in Liaoyang. He was the Liu Keshi who was in charge of Liaoyang. Now, since his Liu Keshi has made up his mind to return to Yanjing and guard the real rear for Ye Qing, then there must be someone in Liaoyang to take charge of the overall situation and coordinate the battle with the Jin army.

Of course, there is no need to ask about Zhao Paner, and naturally it will not be left to Zhao Paner, a woman. What's more, when King Ye Qing of Yan left Liaoyang and went to Danluo, he placed all the main forces in Liaoyang, and among them, there are many confidants who belong to the King of Yan, such as Yelu Yixue, Mo Xiaobao, and Zhong Can, who belonged to the King of Yan, were in Liaoyang.

Liu Keshi, who had made up his mind, no longer politely with Zhao Paner. After greeting him, he immediately walked out of Song Town to summon Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can and others who were now confronting the Jin soldiers outside the city to discuss the matter.

After watching Liu Keshi leave, Zhao Paner's originally nervous mood finally relaxed. She believed that with Ye Qing's reliance on Liu Keshi, Liu Keshi must have his extraordinary qualities. Perhaps... Only Liu Keshi can stabilize the situation in Yanjing for the King of Yan Ye Qing after arriving in Yanjing on the current saint of the emperor, so as not to make Ye Qing unable to return to Yanjing after attacking the Jin Kingdom and completely abandoned by the Song court.

It took less than an hour for Liu Ke to settle the matter in Liaoyang. As Zhao Paner expected, after Liu Ke left Liaoyang and returned to Yanjing, all matters in Liaoyang and the entire Jin Kingdom would be decided by Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can.

Of course, because both of them are military generals, they are extremely expert in leading troops to fight, but they are not very good at appeasement or winning over the hearts of the people. Liu Keshi naturally recommended a capable subordinate who had been with him for many years to assist the two, which also allowed Liu Keshi to leave Liaoyang with confidence. Whether he had an explanation for Liaoyang, he could still be worthy of the reliance and trust of Yan King Ye Qing.

On the day Liu Keshi set off, the situation in Yanjing City may be no different from usual in the eyes of the people or some officials.

But in the eyes of some high-ranking officials, they could already feel the strong tension in Yanjing City, especially the Yan Prince's Mansion and a place that had just been renamed Anbei Mansion, which seemed to be at a strife.

The reason why Anbei Prefecture dared to challenge and confront the Yan Prince's Mansion was precisely because Anbei Prefecture was Li Fengniang's residence in Yanjing now. The two words Anbei, just like the literal meaning, showed Li Fengniang's ambitions and ambitions for the northern part.

Therefore, it is precisely because of the change of the name of Anbei Prefecture, the old and new grievances between Li Fengniang and Yan Qingcheng and others, and the fact that the Supreme Master Zhao Kuo will arrive in Yanjing soon, the relationship between the two quickly dropped to freezing point.

Li Fengniang never explained to several wives of the Prince Yan’s Mansion that the Emperor Zhao Kuo was going to Yanjing, and the people from the Prince Yan’s Mansion had never sent anyone to ask why the Emperor chose to come to Yanjing at this sensitive time.

Li Fengniang's aloofness and even a faint aggression made the people of the Yanwang Mansion really dislike it. After all, Yanjing was moved from Lin'an to Yanjing's home, and Li Fengniang's current actions were more like hoping to take away everything from their family in Yanjing while the King of Yan was not in Yanjing and trap them.

Although Yu Yunwen was in Ruzhou, he had already received news that the emperor Zhao Kuo was about to arrive in Yanjing. Naturally, he also vaguely heard some things about the disagreement between the Yanwang Mansion and the Anbei Mansion. Although he wanted to intervene, he could do whatever he wanted... Whether it was the Yanwang Mansion or the Anbei Mansion, women were fighting. If he was a general who guarded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, if he wanted to get involved in this matter, no matter from any perspective, it would seem a bit unreasonable.

What's more, no matter what, Yan King Ye Qing did not rebel against the Song court, so no matter from that perspective, Yu Yunwen is still a minister of the Song court. Naturally, he was completely unable to interfere in this matter.

Unless Ye Qing suddenly climbed a high place in Liaoyang and shouted that before the Song court sage Zhao Kuo was about to arrive in Yanjing, he suddenly announced that he would become king and rebel from the Song court. In this way, Yu Yunwen could even immediately order his subordinates to lead troops to intercept Zhao Kuo, forcing Zhao Kuo to turn around and go south before he arrived in Yanjing.

However, although Yu Yunwen couldn't interfere in this matter, he could tell at a glance his attitude in some details.

It is a fact that the Yanwang Mansion and Anbei Mansion are in a disagreement, and the city defenses around Yanjing also took away the only army in Yanjing to protect Yanjing when Ye Qing went to Liaoyang: breaking the camp.

So in this way, there was almost no decent military force around Yanjing and in the city. After all, because of the orders of the King of Yan, almost all the troops were mobilized to various passes of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in case the Mongols might repent and go south to invade.

But in the past few days, especially the pass of Ruzhou, there were nearly 5,000 elite soldiers and generals who had been mobilized to Yanjing. Those who dared to transfer troops under his command of Yu Yunwen and had the ability to lead the troops were only one person in Yanjing, that is, the princess of the Liao Kingdom and Yelu Yue, who was also known as the general of the Iron Clothing.

Yelu Yue's command originally had a large army, but since Ye Qing captured Yanjing, he has been stationed in Yuguan. After Ye Qing entered the Jin Kingdom, he had either been stationed in Yuguan or transferred to Liaoyang, the Jin Kingdom. Even Yelu Yixue and Yelu Shibei, the most capable generals under Yelu Yue, have been following the King of Yan in the past two years.

The Yan Prince's Mansion obviously did not take the current emperor seriously, or in their eyes, whether it was Li Fengniang, Zhao Kuo, or Song Ting, they all wanted to come over to get a share of the pie when their husbands were about to be with China.
