Su Yonglin originally did not know the internal information of the Lin'an court.
The intelligence organization installed in the Southern Song Dynasty was not so quick to have a good grasp of the world, and it was not so quick to establish connections within the Southern Song government. Therefore, Su Yonglin's intelligence on the Southern Song Dynasty was insufficient.
The information provided by Yao Hongfang did not involve the strategic level of the Southern Song Dynasty government, so that after so long, he did not even know whether there was any contact between the Southern Song Dynasty and Zhao Kaishan.
Now it is known that they had contact, and the Southern Song Dynasty also granted Zhao Kaishan an official position, showing signs of intervening in this uprising.
But analyzing various circumstances, we can only say that Zhao Gou deserves to have the "good name" of Wanyan Gou, but he is still so cowardly.
The Central Plains has been beaten like this, and the Jin Kingdom has been beaten into such a cowardly state, but they still don't take advantage of the chaos and send troops north to seize the benefits and try to restore the Central Plains.
If he dares to send troops to fish in the troubled waters of the Central Plains and attack Kaifeng all the way out of Sichuan, life in the Kingdom of Jin will immediately become difficult.
If Xixia can be called upon at this time, and Xixia also sends troops together, Jin's troops in Guanzhong will never think of returning to aid Yanyun, and then Su Yonglin can concentrate on dealing with the main force of Jin's army in Yanyun.
Of course, this is just a fantasy. It is better to expect the enemies of the Jin Kingdom to help each other than to expect them to undermine each other and hold each other back.
That is the wonder of the world.
But just because Zhao Gou was so cowardly, cowardly and incompetent, Su Yonglin had no expectations for Song Cai.
Of course, any emperor would be the same after the change. Political strongmen could not save the Southern Song Dynasty. After beating Zhao Gou and killing Yue Fei, the Southern Song Dynasty had such a bad character that there was no cure.
Unless there is a bottom-up revolution to replace it, rather than bothering to save it, it would be better to completely destroy it and sweep it into the garbage heap of history.
Therefore, Su Yonglin was no longer very concerned about the trends in the Southern Song Dynasty.
"That's it..."
Su Yonglin thought for a while and smiled: "The two sides are plotting against each other. One side wants to use the other side's national strength as a backing to leave a way out for itself and save its own life, while the other side wants to do nothing. It’s interesting, interesting, to use the method of giving without any effort to win over hundreds of thousands of troops from the Central Plains.”
Zhao Zuoliang frowned.
"Why did the general say that?"
"Think about it, since the Southern Kingdom wanted to recruit Commander Zhao, why did it do it secretly instead of openly and openly? Why not simply send troops and officials north to take over Shandong's government affairs, but appointed Commander Zhao to take charge of it himself?"
Zhao Zuoliang thought for a while and quickly came to a conclusion.
"Because you're worried about getting into trouble?"
"Yes, I have lived in the Southern Dynasties for so many years. I know exactly what the virtues of the Lin'an court are. They are very contradictory. Some people want to regain the Central Plains, and some people want to maintain the current status quo. In a court, It's like fighting each other.
If this happens to a person, it is definitely mentally ill. If it happens to a country, the country will be really in trouble. I guess that the Southern Dynasties did not want to let this opportunity of chaos in the Central Plains return to the Central Plains, but they also Worried about our eventual defeat.
They are very worried that we are only temporarily powerful and will soon be defeated. If they help us at this time, they will be held accountable by the gold thieves. The gold thieves will have reason to go south to attack the Song Dynasty. The Zhao Guan family is afraid, do you know? He fears! "
Su Yonglin's face was full of ridicule - ridicule of Zhao Gou and the ridicule of the mediocre and incompetent people who were frightened by the Kingdom of Jin.
They were blindly worried that the Liberation Army would not be able to hold on and did not dare to go north. They were worried that they would be settled by the Kingdom of Jin afterwards and get into trouble.
But have they thought about another question?
If the Liberation Army can really overthrow Jin Ting independently...
What else do you need from the Southern Song Dynasty?
These idiots, the monarchs and ministers, wouldn't want to wait until the uprising was successful before coming north to recruit troops, right?
If they really wanted to do such a thing, Su Yonglin would not hesitate to send all their envoys back with their ears chopped off.
What kind of brain circuit can do such a thing?
Su Yonglin hoped that the Southern Song Dynasty court would not do such stupid things, but thinking of their subsequent series of ridiculous operations, he suddenly felt that such a thing was not impossible.
They may really feel so good about themselves that they think the entire Central Plains is looking forward to their return.
After listening to Su Yonglin's analysis, Zhao Zuoliang suddenly felt that this perspective on the problem was quite interesting.
"General, what do you mean, the Southern Dynasty will not go north? No matter how far we fight, the Southern Dynasty will not go north?"
"Until the main force of the golden thieves was destroyed, until the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom died, and until the golden thieves were expelled from the Central Plains by me, they did not dare to go north. If they wanted to go north, they must wait until they could obtain the sky without paying any price. A time of great benefit.”
Su Yonglin smiled while gesticulating and said: "It's like a big piece of fat meat that we cooked and brought directly to Zhao Guan's mouth, begging him to eat it, feeding him, and wiping his mouth. He would also say this A big fat piece of meat that you pick and choose and find too greasy, that’s pretty much it.”
"this……"
Zhao Zuoliang found it difficult to accept this and asked, "Isn't the Central Plains the homeland of the Song Dynasty? Even if Zhao Guan's family doesn't dare, there are still some knowledgeable people in the court, right? Will they be afraid?"
"They are not afraid, but there is no reason why the emperor is afraid. The emperor is afraid. No matter how brave the ministers are, what can they do? And looking forward, there will be fewer and fewer such ministers. Now in the Song Dynasty, southerners are basically making decisions in the court.
The southerners' homeland is not the Central Plains. Unlike the group of northerners who crossed south, they still want to return to their hometown, but they continue to wither. The remaining southerners-dominated court has no motivation for the Northern Expedition. "
"If you put it this way...that's what it is."
Zhao Zuoliang suddenly realized: "In this way, the Southern Kingdom will not go to war for us or for gold? They will not go to the Northern Expedition at all? Is the Northern Expedition just our wishful thinking?"
"Not necessarily, maybe. There are always a few passionate young men in a court, but unless their Northern Expedition goes smoothly, they will definitely be dragged down by their own people."
Su Yonglin smiled and said: "Once the Central Plains is restored, the northerners will join the court again and divide the power of the southerners. Are the southerners who hold great power in the Lin'an court really willing to share power with the northerners? Are they really willing to watch the power in their hands shrink? ?
They don't want to, and let me tell you, even the northerners who take the initiative to seek refuge with Song Ting will be discriminated against. The further they go, the more they will be discriminated against. They will be given an unpleasant stigma and discriminated against by Song Ting. . "
Zhao Zuoliang took a breath of air and looked at Su Yonglin with even more surprise.
"I never thought that the general would have seen this."
"You can't have the slightest expectation or yearning for the Southern Song Dynasty. Otherwise, you will definitely be tricked to death by it."
Su Yonglin turned his gaze to the south with malice: "One day, if I can drive out the Jin people and restore the Central Plains, I will definitely lead a million-strong army south to attack the Song Dynasty, find Zhao Guan's house, and respectfully welcome him back to Kaifeng."
"General..."
Zhao Zuoliang was stunned: "Is this true?"
"of course it's true."
Su Yonglin smiled: "Now, are you still willing to marry your daughter to me?"
Zhao Zuoliang swallowed, his heart pounding for a while before he calmed down.
Then he grinned, smiling helplessly and excitedly.
"Now that the matter has come to this, do I have any other choice? I've already boarded this boat, and if I regret it now, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Yizhou alive, right?"
Zhao Zuoliang looked at Su Yonglin.
Su Yonglin also showed an honest smile.
"Right now, the ground in Hebei and Shandong is not peaceful. Anything can happen. Once a person dies, there is no evidence of his death. No matter how we investigate, we can't find out."
"General... he is really a man who does great things."
"The way the world is, I have no choice."
Su Yonglin adjusted his medical crown, took three steps back, and bowed to Zhao Zuoliang.
"My son-in-law has met my father-in-law."
Zhao Zuoliang's expression was very complicated for a moment, and his thoughts turned over and over again. In the end, it turned into 60% helplessness and 40% determination.
He stepped forward and helped Su Yonglin up with both hands.
"good."
The marriage of Su Yonglin and Zhao Xirui was finalized in this way.
It has nothing to do with personal wishes and no personal feelings. A pure and clean marriage with no choice was achieved.
