Left behind less than 20,000 people led by Zhou Ping, the broken camp continued to garrison in Tanluo and guard the remaining prisoners. Ye Qing led the rest of the people to start retreating towards Liaoyang.

When Ye Qing was still on the way back to Liaoyang, Zhao Paner first received Ye Qing's order and began to send further spies with Dong Chao to set off from Danluo to contact Goryeo's monarch Wang Wei.

The purpose is self-evident, and naturally it is to take this opportunity to get rid of all Cui Zhongxian's forces in Goryeo as the interest to avenge Wanyan Jing.

Li Shi'er naturally agreed with this. Wanyan Fuxing is still alive. For her, she has been very upset over the past few days. But for the soldiers captured by Ye Qing, the choice Li Shi'er can make now is to save Wanyan Fuxing's life first.

From Danluo to Liaoyang, we could still encounter some refugees who were hiding from war along the way. Ye Qing and other troops would not make things difficult for these people. They even gave them some help when they encountered a large number of refugees and suggested that they should go wherever they should go. It was much safer than other cities in the territory today.

Danluo City naturally became the first choice for Ye Qing's suggestions because of some reasons such as strengthening the city defense. These people who escaped from war naturally followed Ye Qing's suggestions on the premise that these troops received corresponding help and respect.

In this way, the expansion of Danluo City is naturally imperative, and more food and grass are needed to continue to supply from other places to Danluo.

Since Ye Qing left Liaoyang and went to Tanluo, one of the other cities in Yuguan, including Liu Keshi's mission in Liaoyang, was to continuously transport the food and grass from the Song Dynasty to Liaoyang, the Jin Dynasty, and then distribute it.

Therefore, a few days ago, when Zhao Paner and Liu Keshi were discussing Zhao Kuo's plan to reach Yanjing, in addition to worrying that the rights of Yanjing City would change when the King of Yan was away, they were also worried that the transportation of food and grass might be cut off.

After Liu Ke returned to Yanjing, the first thing he had to do was to ensure that the food and grass transported from various places to Yanjing could be successfully transported from Yanjing to Yuguan, Liaoyang and other places, so as to ensure that the King of Yan, who is now in the Jin Kingdom, had no worries about logistics supply.

But even so, with the full start of the war with the Jin Kingdom, even the army such as Ye Qing, who had been secretly preparing to stockpile food and grass for nearly two years, could still feel the huge pressure from food and grass supply after the war began.

Fortunately, the places where they pass through are within the control of the Song army. Apart from encountering refugees who avoided war, they were still relatively smooth.

When they were less than half a day away from Liaoyang, Monk Wanyan Chen and Wanyan Xielie each led more than 15,000 troops, and separated from Ye Qing at a fork to Liaoyang and a fork to Xianping Prefecture. Song Yuanqing and Qishilie Baishan led other troops to escort Ye Qing and Li Shier back to Liaoyang. Monk Wanyan Chen and Wanyan Xielie chose to go north from the fork to meet Yelu Yixue and Yelu Shibei, who were less than a day away from them.

When the night fell to Liaoyang again, Ye Qing led his army back to Liaoyang again. At this moment, Wanyan Fuxing, who followed Ye Qing back to Liaoyang, was filled with many mixed feelings in his heart.

How glorious he was in Liaoyang at the beginning, but now he is in Liaoyang again, how down and out!

Wanyan Fuxing was frightened along the way, especially whenever he faced Li Shier's cold gaze when he looked at him, Wanyan Fuxing's heart would tremble unconsciously a few times, and he could even feel that the back of his neck seemed to be getting cold, and he was even more scared. He didn't know one day, his head would suddenly fall to the ground.

He was actually very clear about the reason why Ye Qing left him. Moreover, he had been a persuading surrender in Danluo for several days. So after entering Liaoyang City again, Wanyan Fuxing was already in a state of disgrace to Jin Ting, because he believed that his actions of winning over prisoners for the Song army in Danluo City would definitely be informed by Ye Qing about the Huining Mansion and the Supreme Master Wanyan Xun as soon as possible.

Ye Qing's move completely cut off Wanyan Fuxing's retreat to the Jinting. Even if he was lucky enough to escape from Ye Qing's hands, his surrender in Danluo City would probably make it difficult for him to gain a foothold in the court, and he might even be killed by Wanyan Xun to warn other ministers who might surrender to the Songting.

So now Wanyan Fuxing's mood is so complicated and heavy that it is when he returns to Liaoyang. Because of Li Shi'er's existence, Ye Qing's side will make him fall to the ground one day, and Wanyan Xun's side may have regarded him as a traitor.

Wanyan Fuxing, who was dead in the front and back, was already in a state of despair, but... because of his family and family in Huining Mansion, it was difficult for him to give up his life and death. He could not show up in front of Ye Qing as if he was ready to die, and could only live in a humble manner.

Liaoyang City, which welcomed Ye Qing's return, was almost like an empty city. Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can, Yelu Yixue and others were all going to fight against the Jin army outside the city, and even Liu Jiansheng, who was supposed to be stationed in Liaoyang, had to make a big move as the war escalated.

The army was pulled to a place thirty miles away from Liaoyang, which could not only form aid to Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can and others, but also take into account the already empty Liaoyang behind them.

When Liu Keshi left, all the big and small things were discussed by Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can, but because they had to fight with the Jin army, they chose to work in the camp whether they were handling government affairs or military affairs, which made Liaoyang appear even more empty.

Ye Qing, who returned to the mansion, walked while listening to Zhao Paner's report. He had already expected the current situation in Liaoyang. Why did he choose to only bring Song Yuanqing's 5,000 people away from Liaoyang instead of Liu Jiansheng leading nearly 10,000 to help Tanluo? It was also because of concerns about the possible war here.

Everything was as Ye Qing expected. After he left Liaoyang, the Jin Kingdom launched a war attack on Liaoyang and even the surrounding areas. However, because Ye Qing and Liu Keshi had built various war fortifications around Liaoyang at the beginning, which made the war in Liaoyang fierce, but no one could do anything to anyone in the Song or Jin Dynasty in a short period of time. It was just because of the war that the local people suffered.

"Then when are you planning to go back to Yanjing?" Zhao Pan'er asked.

Ye Qing held the tea, thought for a while and said, "Let's go back after the war here is over."

"The war here is over?" Zhao Paner's clear and bright eyes were glaring, and he looked at Ye Qing incrediblely, "You... don't you not know the situation in Yanjing, right? I remember that every time I give you the information I have made it clear."

"I don't worry if Master Liu Ke is in Yanjing." Ye Qing said lightly.

Zhao Paner frowned slightly, and then he actually showed a look of Ye Qing, looking at him like a fool. Then, unexpectedly caught him, Ye Qing, who was keenly discovered, tapped his white forehead with his fingers and said angrily: "What kind of eyes do you look like, do you look like a fool?"

"Ah! I didn't say anything, okay?" Zhao Pan'er pouted and protested with dissatisfaction.

"But your eyes have betrayed your inner thoughts, right?" Ye Qing said naturally.

Zhao Paner subconsciously curled his lips, then took out the news from Yanjing that he had just received, handed it to Ye Qing and said, "This is the news that Master Liu Ke brought back after returning to Yanjing. You can take a look. After reading it, don't rush to go back to Yanjing."

Ye Qing was a little curious, obviously a little confused. How could this little girl in front of him be so sure that she would return to Yanjing after reading this letter.

With a hint of doubt, I opened the letter that Zhao Paner could open to view. Although the contents in it were not very serious,... it seems that it was something that Yanjing had always ignored.

"In April of the sixth year of Qingyuan, Xie Shenfu and Han Yanjia had already arrived in Yanjing secretly. In May of the seventh year of Qingyuan, Xie Shenfu and Han Yanjia began to impeach the Yan Prince's Mansion in front of the emperor Zhao Kuo to gain troops."

The letter was not very long. He knew about Xie Shenfu and Han Yanjia's arrival in Yanjing, but he did not expect that Liu Keshi was not aware of it. As for Xie Shenfu, Han Yanjia impeached his Yan Prince's Mansion...

"Is this because of Yelu Yue?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

Zhao Paner was still quite surprised by Ye Qing's calmness after reading the letter. He couldn't help but admire him. It seemed that the position of the King of Yan was not just due to the great military achievements that ordinary people could not achieve. Since it was the courage to keep changing its face without changing its face, there might not be many people who could achieve it, right?

Zhao Paner asked back without answering, "I heard from Lord Liu that when you were in Lin'an, there were a lot of grudges and grudges between you and Xie Shenfu? Now that they have already come to your territory to impeach you, you are really not worried at all?"

"Don't worry." Ye Qing shook his head and smiled, then handed the letter in his hand to Zhao Paner, and then sighed slightly. In Zhao Paner's opinion, he said inexplicably: "Some people are so confident. Xie Shenfu knows very well that I don't want to be enemies for him, or do anything to him, so he is so unscrupulous. However, his purpose is that he can't escape a name after all."

"Name?" Zhao Paner said with a frown.

"Why do scholars want to be officials?" Ye Qing, who had just returned to Liaoyang, did not look tired, but seemed very talkative.

"Why do scholars want to be officials?" Zhao Paner seemed to be stopped at once. After muttering with thoughtful expressions several times, he said without a doubt: "The reason why scholars pass the exam and become officials... are you saying for fame?"

"What about that?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

"Since it's for fame, why bother with you? If you want fame, you can earn fame by yourself, right? Being honest and honest can naturally win the love of the people. If you are an official... it will naturally gain both fame and fortune. But if Xie Shenfu is for fame, then he doesn't know the consequences of fame and fortune?" Zhao Pan'er frowned. She had seen all kinds of people in the world, and she had seen them for money, sex, merit and fame. She especially the fame of scholars. She thought she knew the most.

As the saying goes: establish your mind for heaven and earth,

Establishing a destiny for the people, inheriting the unique knowledge of the past saints, and opening peace for all generations was the clear statement of Zhang Zaizhi, a great master of the Song Dynasty. Now it has naturally become the motto of scholars' way of becoming officials and the ultimate goal of their officials.

So even if Zhao Paner understands these, he still doesn't understand them very well. Since scholars are officials, since they are for the sake of the world, the people, the saints, and the world, and the world, they should not be hostile to Ye Qing, right? They should be united, right?

"Who is the most influential now in the Song court? Who is the most powerful and has one hand covering the sky?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

Zhao Paner looked at Ye Qing with a foolish look again. When Ye Qing raised his hand and slapped his fair forehead, Zhao Paner hurriedly leaned back, and then smiled mischievously, "You don't want me to praise you, right?"

"Of course not." Ye Qing said: "Since you know that there is such a person in the Song court, then in order to make a name for the people of the world or to leave a name in later history books, should these scholars make a gesture of not fearing the power and the wealth in the court? In this way, is there a shortcut to gain both fame and fortune?"

"Shortcut?" Zhao Paner frowned and looked at Ye Qing and said in contemplation: "You mean... as long as you scold you for fighting against you, you can become famous? Will you be recognized by all the people in the world?"

"It is too tiring to benefit the people and the road is tortuous and long. In the court, you will be obstructed and resisted. With the interweaving of various interests, it is so difficult to become an official for your ideal? The word "fame" is simple to pronounce, but it is not so easy to put the word "fame" into your pocket. Now, how many people in the court are willing to be down-to-earth and truly seek welfare for the country and the people of the world?" Zhao Pan'er obviously still finds it difficult to understand. The reason why officials like Xie Shenfu are against Ye Qing is to make a name for themselves and to make a name for their reputation.

Just as Ye Qing and Zhao Paner continued to talk about this topic, they first returned to their courtyard, and then came to Li Shi'er in the hall again, which solved Zhao Paner's doubts.

However, Li Shier was also confused about Xie Shenfu's intentional attack on Ye Qing. Could it be that Xie Shenfu is really not afraid of death? Or is it because Ye Qing has a handle that Xie Shenfu can fight Ye Qing so unscrupulously.

After Li Shier's explanation, Zhao Paner still frowned a little, tried hard to digest the words just now, and asked again: "You mean... the reason why people like Xie Shenfu are like this is because they are not afraid of death?"

"They are not afraid of death, but why dare to provoke the King of Yan? I think it's just because this is a shortcut to becoming famous and gaining fame. At that time, there were also such people in the Jin Dynasty. They were asked to govern one party, but they didn't have the ability to do so. Even if they were able to be honest and fair, they could not restrain their subordinates. Either they had formed conflicts and grudges with their subordinates as soon as they took office. Or they were too pedantic and stubborn, which made them not only not able to get along with their colleagues when they were in office, but also did not benefit the people when they were officials. Instead, they ended up exhausting and suffering. Therefore, it proved that their ability to govern one party and benefit the other party is completely different from their ability to talk about the military on paper."

Li Shi'er continued to talk, "But this kind of person has no problem. He is mediocre when he is in office, no longer in office, or when he is free, he always feels that his talents cannot be displayed. But after failing to serve as an official, he will not only not look for the reasons from himself, but instead blame current affairs and others. In short, all the mistakes are the fault of others, and he will not make any mistakes. So I think Xie Shenfu should be such a person, who has some arrogance of scholars, but does not have the ability to read many books. In this way, this kind of person is like a stone in a pit... smelly and hard, and also allows them to find a shortcut to become famous in the court, that is, whoever has the greatest power will scold anyone. Anyway, in their opinion, this kind of person with great power will never be as knowledgeable as them, let alone they have never made any mistakes..."

"If there is no power, wouldn't there be no place for them to stand in the court?" Zhao Paner asked in confusion. She might be able to see the things in the people clearly, but if it was true to some actions of the officialdom, Zhao Paner was obviously still a little short of it.

"It's very simple. If there is no one with the greatest power in the court, then just scold your boss, or... just scold the emperor. In short, not afraid of the powerful and the people, they are the ones they say, and they don't have the ability to serve the country and the people, but they have a mouth for the country and the people, and others have no way to deal with him." Li Shi'er even learned Ye Qing's helpless shrugging action. This made Zhao Pan'er instantly give up and continue to think about the reasons for the existence of people like Xie Shenfu. Instead, his eyes wandered back and forth between Ye Qing and Li Shi'er.
