In the lobby, Shandong Wenwu's opinions were surprisingly unified.

There is no other way. Trade is a key part of maintaining the operation of Shandong. Without the income from trade, the vassal government will soon be unable to pay military salaries and salaries, and the five-year plan to balance fiscal revenue and expenditure will also be aborted.

With the Southern Song Dynasty pressing harder and harder, Shandong could only give it a try while it still had money, otherwise it would be a dead end.

Seeing that everyone supported Qingjun, Zhao Tai said in a deep voice: "Since everyone supports it, let's discuss a specific strategy!"

Zhao Tai's side was called Qingjun side, while the Southern Song side seemed to be rebelling.

Once the flag on the side of the Qing emperor is raised, there will be no turning back for everyone. A careful plan must be made and no reckless actions are required.

Before Zhao Tai returned to Jinan, everyone received the news that the army was about to be raised, but they had no strategy for what to do after the army was raised.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and Wang Bin saluted and said: "The king now has an army of 150,000, which can be said to be strong. However, the Southern Song Dynasty stationed hundreds of thousands of troops in Huainan, but it is not easy to deal with them."

Zhao Tai nodded: "The one I am worried about is not the Song army, but Mongolia! Although the Song army has many soldiers and horses, I look at it like grass and grass. After Mongolia, if it goes south, it will attack it. Now the people of Shandong have less than two days of rest.

If the Mongolian army enters Shandong again, not only will the achievements of two years be destroyed, but the army will also be attacked from both sides and lose its footing."

The current problem facing the Qi army on Qing Jun's side is still the problem mentioned before that they may be attacked from two sides.

On the way back to Jinan with Zhao Tai, Wang Bin thought hard about countermeasures all the way, and finally came up with a strategy, so he saluted and said: "If the king leads the army to go south immediately, he will encounter hundreds of thousands of Song troops in Huainan who are waiting in formation.

, Shandong is empty behind, and the Mongolian army will definitely take advantage of it. As a minister, the king should issue a message first to anger the Song army, and then attack Mongolia, lead the Song army across the river, and annihilate the Song army crossing the river in one fell swoop. Only then can the situation be broken!

"

Zhao Tai stroked his beard, frowned and pondered: "As a military strategist, wouldn't it give Mongolia an excuse to lure Mongolia into the situation immediately? If Mongolia goes south and marches against the Song army from the north to the south, what can it do alone?"

Wang Bin said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, whether Mongolia has any excuses, they will not miss this opportunity. Previously, the Mongolian Southern invaders suffered a disastrous defeat, so they must be wary of your Majesty. Now that Mongolia sees that your Majesty has a rift with the Southern Song Dynasty, Wo Kuotai will definitely want to sit down.

Harvest the fisherman's profit. Therefore, if the king attacks Mongolia, Ogedai will probably not respond~"

Zhao Tai's eyes lit up and he took over the conversation, "Not only will he not accept the challenge, he will also urge the Southern Song Dynasty to attack Shandong!"

Wang Bin nodded, "The Mongolian and Song Dynasties negotiated peace, and the king attacked Mongolia because he did not recognize the peace agreement. Wo Kuotai did not want to fight with us first, so he must urge the Southern Song Dynasty to send troops and let the Southern Song Dynasty fight with us, so that he can reap the benefits!"

Zhao Tai thought for a while, and compared with crossing the river to attack the Song army who was waiting for them, it was undoubtedly easier to defeat the elite Song army in one battle than to lure the Song army across the river and eliminate it.

Zhao Tai pondered for a while and thought it was feasible. He then asked everyone in the hall, "What do you think?"

Yuan Haowen praised: "This is a wonderful strategy. The traitors in Lin'an are approaching step by step. Your Majesty should rebuke the traitors, and then fight against the Mongols to regain the mountains and rivers, and decide to make the Northern Expedition. If the Southern Song Dynasty crosses the river to attack, everyone in the world will denounce the traitors, and together they will

The King of Love! I think I am the king, and I will write two articles as a memorial. The first article is for the great ambition of the Ming Dynasty, and I vow to fight the Northern Expedition to confuse Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty. The second article is to wait for the Song army to cross the river and the world sympathizes with it, then I can appease the emperor and raise troops to Qingjun's side.

.”

Zhao Tai stood up, raised his arms and said: "In that case, please sir, please write two pieces of propaganda to inform the world!"

Duanping four years, June.

Under the pressure of the Southern Song Dynasty, Linyi King Zhao Tai personally signed the "Northern Expedition to the Ming Dynasty".

"Since the fall of Jingkang, the northern land has been lost, and the people of the Central Plains have been weeping for more than a hundred years! The king of Linyi, Zhao Tai, was the successor of Taizu of the Song Dynasty. He devoted himself to expelling the Tartars, restoring the old territory, and restoring the Han style to thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. However, there were treacherous officials in the court.

Be in charge and frame Zhongliang!"

"The traitorous ministers Shi Songzhi, Shi Zhaizhi, and Li Zhixiao are all traitors to the country. When the Mongols invaded the south, they did not want to kill the Hus to repay the country. They secretly collaborated with the Mongols, ignored the blood feud of the people in the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, made peace with the Hus, and sent gifts to the Mongolians for heinous crimes.

The Tartars left the country."

"The treacherous traitor knows that his ministers are determined to recover. In order to please Mongolia, he wants to imitate the story of Fengbo Pavilion and kill the ministers quickly! Now your Majesty is deceived by the treacherous ministers and is afraid of loyalty. In the past, he was not rewarded for his great achievements. Later, he took away the wealth that the ministers used to raise soldiers and defend the land.

All the ministers and Shandong soldiers are heartbroken!"

"Ugh, the rivers are long and the rivers are running out of trees. It's hard to write down the sins of traitors!"

"Ugh! If the government has no direct ministers, who can accuse the country's traitors and evildoers!"

"Now that my minister is under suspicion, the three armies are indignant!"

"I am the king of the clan, and I will die for the country. I will not die at the hands of the traitorous officials, so that your majesty will bear the reputation of being a fool!"

"Today, I will lead the three armies in the Northern Expedition to express my great ambition! I hope that Your Majesty will be close to the virtuous ministers and stay away from the villains. Even if I die, I will have no regrets!"

…

As soon as Zhao Tai's message was published, it immediately aroused shock from many parties and left both parties confused.

The first thing that was shocked was the army and people of Shandong. Previously, the Qi army fought against the Mongols, crossed the river for rescue, and made great achievements, but there was no reward from the Song court.

Now the Song Dynasty took advantage of the situation and suddenly seized Shandong's properties in the Song Dynasty. It also banned Southern Song Dynasty merchants from trading in Shandong, trying to trap Shandong to death.

The soldiers and civilians of Shandong had long been dissatisfied with the Southern Song Dynasty, and now they are even more indignant.

Next came the people of Huainan. The Mongolian army invaded Huainan, burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil.

Zhao Tai's message evoked their memories, and they felt a burst of indignation in their hearts when they thought of the Southern Song Dynasty making peace with Mongolia and letting go of Kublai Khan, who had owed a blood debt in Huainan.

They read Zhao Tai's appeal and saw that Zhao Tai was feared by the court and persecuted by treacherous ministers. Zhao Tai had no choice but to go north to express his ambition. How could they not sympathize with the King of Linyi?

In the slogan, "I am the king of the clan, I will die for my country, but not at the hands of traitorous ministers!" It even made the people of Huainan burst into tears.

In Chuzhou, in the Zhizhi Department, Shi Zhaizhi and Li Zhixiao looked extremely gloomy after reading the proclamation.

With a dark face, Li Zhixiao slapped the memorandum on the table and said through gritted teeth: "Zhao Thief has an expert by his side!"

Shi Zhaizhi hated Zhao Tai's behavior of posting random messages. After reading the message, he gritted his teeth, "I am dedicated to serving Your Majesty, but instead he slandered me as a traitor. I am really angry!"

Li Zhixiao asked: "What's going on outside now?"

Shi Zhai said with hatred: "The stupid people in the city were instigated by the Zhao thieves. They cursed Prime Minister Li and me a lot, and some unscrupulous people secretly threw excrement in front of the government office!"

"We originally wanted to force Zhao Tai to rebel, and then put down the rebellion openly and openly in the name of the imperial court." Li Zhixiao's face was as dark as water, "I didn't expect that Zhao Tai would actually come here to win the sympathy of the people in the name of the Northern Expedition."

"Prime Minister Li, how should we respond to Zhao Thief's move?" Shi Zhaizhi couldn't help but ask: "He will not attack us, but will go on the Northern Expedition. Should we send troops to attack Shandong?"

Li Zhixiao pondered for a while, then slapped the table, "How can the national policy of the imperial court be kidnapped by Zhao thieves? Negotiating peace with Mongolia is a decision of the officials and officials, and is in the interest of the Song Dynasty. Now Zhao Tai uses the Northern Expedition as an excuse, you and I should
