After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

Just as Han Ming, Zhou Qian and others escaped from Yelu Liang's encirclement, entered the Yu River from Yuguan, and floated on the sea on a ship from the port, the military conflict between Song and Liao began to escalate.

In the eyes of Gu Tingye and others, the Liao Kingdom intended to expand military conflicts and launch a full-scale invasion of the Song Dynasty.

In response to this, the entire Central Imperial Guard stationed in the northern border began to sharpen their swords, preparing to meet the invading enemy.

Since the "Treaty of Chanyuan", there has been basically no large-scale military war between Song and Liao. All of them were one-sided small-scale invasions, forcing the Song Dynasty to retreat on some unimportant issues.

Many military generals from military families and soldiers of the central imperial guards were familiar with the context of the war between Song and Liao.

This huge grassland empire, which has been dominating the Song Dynasty since its founding, has the strongest military strength at present, without a doubt.

The reason why the Song Dynasty was able to survive for many years in front of it was, on the one hand, the strong support of the grassroots people for the country's honor, disgrace, rise and fall.

On the other hand, the weakness shown by the ruling class allowed the Liao Dynasty to see that it could be easily manipulated.

But all this has gradually become less obvious since Han Ming appeared.

Han Ming's existence gave the rulers of the Song Dynasty a reassurance. At the same time, his status as a scholar-official enabled him to effectively unite the ruling class and form a new united front.

Finally, Han brought a future called "hope" to the people of the Song Dynasty. He allowed the people to see the appearance and framework of a truly prosperous era - that is, peace, stability, and having enough food and clothing!

Han Ming took every step steadily, he just wanted to challenge his limits.

In this ancient feudal dynasty's most economically developed era, what kind of potential and power could he make the Song Dynasty unleash?

Facts have proved that the path he has been taking all along is correct. The Liao Dynasty is now beginning to fear the Song Dynasty, which has gone from being terminally ill to beginning to revive.

As long as this military conflict can be resolved, another world of the Song Dynasty will come.

From now on, the Liao Dynasty will no longer be able to suppress the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty will rise at an extremely fast speed and eventually achieve true unification and prosperity!

At this time, the entire army was fully prepared to engage in a protracted battle with the Liao Dynasty until a complete victory was achieved.

As the commander-in-chief, Gu Tingye had already reported the situation to the Tokyo Prefecture, and at the same time, he also sent out all the "assassins" under the Border Pacification Office to gather intelligence.

Looking at Liang Wenxin handing over the completed documents one by one, Gu Tingye couldn't help but take a breath.

"Have all the Liao army forces from the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that the entire northern border faces moved south?!"

Gu Tingye's knuckles were a little white, and the entire document was wrinkled from being pinched by him.

"Yes, my lord. Except for the advance troops and the central army, all the troops in Nanjing Road and Xijing Road will be transferred south."

"The Liao Kingdom is ready to launch an all-out attack if there's any disagreement!"

As the chief officer stationed at the border for many years, Liang Wenxin's expression of "Chuan" is almost visible between his eyebrows.

"Why did the situation suddenly escalate? It shouldn't be like this since Jingyuan and several other officials from the diplomatic corps are mediating at the front..."

Gu Tingye felt that things were starting to get out of control.

"My Lord, I believe the situation has reached the point of a decisive battle. We should immediately break camp and advance north, confronting the Liao army across the Juma River. This will demonstrate our resolve for a decisive battle, and perhaps the enemy will hold back."

Liang Wenxin immediately proposed to confront the other party head-on and face them head-on.

"No, the current situation in the Liao Kingdom is unclear. If someone with ulterior motives seizes upon us and accuses us of deliberate provocation, then the responsibility for the Liao army's full southward advance will be placed on us!"

As the deputy chief of the army, Yang Wenguang certainly knew the urgency of the situation, but because he had served the rulers of the Song Dynasty for many years, he still considered things from a political perspective, so he immediately raised an objection.

"But they are so determined to act this way, because they know we won't be the first to take action."

"In this situation, how can we allow the enemy to act arbitrarily without fighting back? Wouldn't this undermine our morale?"

Liang Wenxin's tough attitude made Yang Wenguang and Gu Tingye look at each other and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

They discovered that since Han Ming's rise in the court and Sima Junshi's great victory in his mission to Western Xia, the entire upper-level civil servants of the Song Dynasty seemed to have changed their temperament, as if they were possessed by Fu Jiezi.

Regardless of whether they had the ability or not, they all clamored to attack the alien race, which made the military leaders and soldiers a little confused.

In the past, you were doves and we were hawks. Now you are even more hawkish than we are. What should we do with our army?

Would it be appropriate for us to start playing the dove side and make up the numbers for you, and to achieve a military-political balance?

It feels numb!

Why do we call them soldiers? You can call them soldiers, and we should call them civil servants.

In short, for the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty, how to make their status higher and more prominent depends on Sima Junshi.

After all, this gentleman has now become the idol of all the civil officials of the Song Dynasty after Han Ming.

As the saying goes: "When the emperor is angry, a million people will be killed and blood will flow for a thousand miles; when a scholar is angry, two people will be killed and blood will flow for five steps, and the whole country will be in mourning."

Sima Junshi, with a sword in hand, held the king and prime minister of Western Xia hostage and signed the "Jiayou Peace Agreement", which greatly increased his prestige and also made him eligible to enter the cabinet and become a prime minister.

The civil officials of the Song Dynasty now want to show their political ideas and improve their political reputation. The first thing they do is: foreigners? Just do it!

The change in the atmosphere in the court inspired middle and low-level officials and aroused the enthusiasm of the common people.

The first slogan of the new political reforms in the country was: "Take the path of the new policies and fight against foreign enemies!"

Anyway, its simplicity allows everyone to understand it at a glance, and it also makes the cohesion of the Song Dynasty unprecedentedly united.

Gu Tingye and Yang Wenguang felt a headache when facing the passionate Liang Wenxin.

Yes, the pro-war sentiment in the country is growing stronger and stronger, but the people at home know their own business.

The elite army of the Song Dynasty has been in a state of mixed quality since the casualties in the "Yongxi Northern Expedition".

The brief peace after the "Treaty of Chanyuan" further exacerbated the corruption and backwardness within the army.

If Li Yuanhao had not emerged in the northwest to give the Song army some training, the entire country's army would probably have been in disarray and would have fallen into a state of disarray.

Ever since Han intimidated Xixia in the northwest and made them unable to raise their heads, everyone in the Song Dynasty now believes that the army is invincible.

In fact, if Han Ming had not carried out some reforms, the Western Army would probably have been temporarily out of the question.

Don't take the part as the whole. This is why Mr. Han and the Han Party can always remain rational.

If the Central Imperial Guards were to be pulled out to fight the Liao Army in the field now, they would probably be wiped out in one encounter. Gu Tingye and Yang Wenguang were not rookies, so it was impossible for them to make an unfavorable decision.

"Lord Liang has good intentions, but we still cannot act rashly at this moment."

Gu Tingye knew the reason why Yang Wenguang was so cautious and couldn't help but vote for him.

Liang Wenxin seemed to have realized something and couldn't help but ponder for a long time: "My words were a bit harsh, I hope the Marquis and the old general will forgive me!"

He also knew that his words just now were a bit aggressive. Everyone was working for the good of the Song Dynasty and should not be so rude.

"Lord Liang has been in the northern border for many years, so naturally he has some feelings towards the Liao Kingdom. We can understand all of this."

"So, we should focus on intelligence gathering. At the same time, we should pass on the news of the Liao army's southward advance to Wu Xuanfu Envoy in Hebei East Road, and have him strengthen his vigilance and be on guard against sudden attacks from the Liao army."

Gu Tingye still played it safe, and the confrontation with the Liao army was a protracted war.

The Song Dynasty's army must at least defend against the enemy first before talking about the second step of counterattack.

"Yes, I will deliver the message immediately!" Liang Wenxin immediately straightened his expression and bowed.

"Lord Liang, there is one more matter that I need you to go there in person." Gu Tingye picked up an intelligence document and frowned slightly.

"Speak, my Lord."

"The assassin has reported that the delegation heading north will return soon, but due to the Liao army's southward advance, they are trapped in the border city of Rongcheng."

"Please take the trouble to personally lead the team and bring back the envoys safely!"

Gu Tingye's words made Yang Wenguang and Liang Wenxin nod slightly.

"Don't worry, my Lord. I'll do it right away and bring Lord He and the others back to the country!"

Looking at Liang Wenxin turning and leaving, Gu Tingye sighed with a headache.

"These are troubled times! I hope Jingyuan and the others are safe and sound..."
