    The newly established heir to the throne of the Jin Kingdom, Banbo Jilie Wanyan Dan, was only sixteen years old, and the great emperor Zhao Chen was also sixteen years old. This was a coincidence, but it definitely meant something.  "Although the emperor of the Song Dynasty has not yet fully taken charge of the government, he is basically united inside and outside the court, and no one is fighting over the issue of the throne. In the Kingdom of Jin, due to the inextricable fight over the throne, what will happen to the national situation and destiny of the two countries?  , In fact, everything has been explained!" This was Wang Chen's heartfelt emotion to Yu Yunwen.  ¡°The glory of the Song Dynasty will be completely restored, and the so-called Jin Dynasty will definitely decline,¡± this is what Wang Chen insists on.  However, he knew that the civil strife in the Jin Kingdom would definitely not lead to its ultimate destruction. The army of the Song Dynasty would need to give it a fatal blow to end the history of the "Da Jin". This country established by the Jurchens,  Let them return to what they were like during the Tang Dynasty and become vassals of China like their ancestor Mohe.  When the Jin Kingdom gradually fell into civil strife, Wang Chen also ordered to strengthen war preparations against Jin and Xixia.  It had been less than two years since the peace treaty was signed with the Jin people, and the Jin people were still "faithfully" fulfilling their promises. Especially after the news of Wanyan Gao's death came out, the Jin Kingdom had already prepared good horses as tribute to the Song Dynasty.  Good, and the quality of the good horses sent over would be better.  In this case, if no good excuse is found, the war between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty will be "unknown".  The civil strife in Jin was not yet serious, so it was not the best time to send troops. In the orders Wang Chen gave to Yue Fei, he repeatedly ordered to strengthen war preparations, find the best time to send troops, and strive to obtain  The support of the relatively weak side of the Jin Kingdom.  If you contact the relatively weak party in the Jin Kingdom and form an alliance, then as the internal fighting in the Jin Kingdom becomes increasingly fierce, you can find many excuses to send troops to start a war.  It will also be smoother.  Because of this consideration, Wang Chen still focused his main attention on Xixia.  In Wang Chen¡¯s eyes, the area occupied by Xixia was the most important to the Song Dynasty. The fertile Hetao, the beautiful Qinghai, and the passage to the Western Regions were all must-win areas for the Song Dynasty.  Therefore, at the border with Xixia, the Song army became increasingly heavy.  Xixia naturally felt the pressure from the Song army. The powerful Jin Kingdom was defeated by the Song army. They did not dare to be careless at all and began to mobilize the country to strictly guard against the "invasion" of the Song Dynasty.  While making full preparations for war.  Xixia also sent a mission to congratulate the Song emperor on his wedding, accusing the Song Dynasty of betrayal and going to war against Xixia.  Under the escort of Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yueru arrived in Kaifeng, and Zhao Chen¡¯s wedding was held shortly after.  Zhao Chen didn¡¯t have much objection to the marriage arranged by Wang Chen.  A sixteen-year-old boy.  Originally, he didn't know much about love affairs, and Zhao Chen's youth experience was very unbearable. He had very few women to come into contact with, and he didn't even have anyone to admire.  He has been living under Wang Chen's majesty and has long been accustomed to the life that Wang Chen arranged for him.  And Zhe Yueru is quite beautiful, and her figure and appearance are no worse than Zhao Chen's two aunts, Zhao Huanhuan and Zhao Zhuzhu. Another thing that Zhao Chen likes is that Zhe Yueru has been practicing martial arts.  He acts in a fickle manner, which just makes up for Zhao Chen's cowardice.  The two personalities complement each other, and Zhao Chen is very satisfied with this combination.  However, Zhe Yueru was very dissatisfied with Zhao Chen. A woman like her, who acted fiery and had a fierce personality, admired very heroic figures, not people like Zhao Chen who were close to being useless.  But marriage is not something that a weak woman like Zhe Yueru can control.  No matter what thoughts she had, she could only accept the arrangement of fate in the end.  Before the wedding, the young emperor Zhao Chen also received the Xixia wedding envoy who arrived in Kaifeng.  The Xixia envoys explained their purpose of coming very directly and expressed their concern that the Song army would place heavy troops on the border between the two countries.  It¡¯s just that the young emperor flatly denied that the Song Dynasty would launch military operations against Xixia.  He told the Xixia envoy.  The deployment of the Song Dynasty's army was a normal behavior. The purpose was to crack down on the bandits and bandits on the border between the two countries and restore peace to the two countries.  As long as the Xixia army does not take the initiative to attack the Song army, the Song army will not conflict with Xixia.  With the Song emperor¡¯s expression, the Xixia envoy felt a little relieved.  However, Wang Chen still acted according to his own arrangements. Regarding the war with the Xixia people, it was easy to find an excuse to start a war, and it was impossible to fight against Wu Ming.  However, the preliminary preparation work was too huge, and Wang Chen wanted to completely eliminate Xixia, which had been a country for a long time, with one blow, so the war could not start soon.  Wu Jie, the left minister of the Ministry of War, who returned to Kaifeng from the land of Yanyun, disappeared from the court in the autumn of the second year of Jianye.  Disappearing with him were the five military guards originally deployed near Kaifeng and the 150,000 elite Song Dynasty troops.    What the ministers in the DPRK know is that Wu Jie went to the court and requested to temporarily ignore the affairs for a period of time due to injury.  And those 150,000 elite troops went on a long-distance training trip.  One day in the bleak autumn wind, Wang Chen and Li Shifu went out to hunt in the city.  While riding on horseback, Wang Chen asked Li Shifu: "Gongbi, how have you been in the army during this period? What do you think of this expedition?" Gongbi is Li Shifu's "character". After getting to know Li Shifu well, Wang Chen  It matches its character.  Li Shifu, who was dressed in military uniform, replied respectfully: "Your Highness, I think the special training team is the most suitable place for me to stay. I am very grateful to Your Highness for letting me join this special army! Please rest assured, Your Highness, this expedition will be successful."  He will fight to the death to find out all the beneficial information for the army and create more opportunities for the army to defeat the Xixia army." After Li Shifu came to Kaifeng, Wang Chen directly asked him to serve as a deputy general in the imperial army in front of the palace, but Li Shifu.  He only stayed in the imperial army for two months. After getting familiar with the situation of the imperial army, Wang Chen transferred him to the special forces and special operations team of the Song Dynasty and let him join the most mysterious army of the Song Dynasty.  hold office.  Li Shifu was very skilled. After receiving a series of personal guidance from Wang Chen, and after two or three months of brutal training, he changed completely. His agility and speed were not even worse than Wang Chen's. This made Wang Chen  Very pleasant surprise.  What makes him even more happy is that Li Shifu has very good organizational skills and is very talented in special tactics. After just a few months of training, he has shown very good leadership abilities.  Wang Chen personally took charge of the task force and formed a special operations team of about 200 people, which was given to Li Shifu's command and ordered to follow Wu Jie's troops to the north of Taiyuan.  Having just defected to Wang Chen, Li Shifu was naturally overjoyed to receive such a special role, and immediately made preparations. His two hundred elite special forces were about to embark on a journey to Xixia.  His special operations unit is directly under the command of Wu Jie and is not controlled by anyone else. In other words, only Wu Jie can give orders to him.  Of course, there are only a handful of people in the army who know about the existence of this force and who is under its command.  It is already autumn in Kaifeng, and the north has already entered the deep winter. Setting off in this season will be a severe test for Wu Jie's army and the members of Li Shifu's special operations team.  Today¡¯s autumn hunt with Wang Chen was almost the last time Li Shifu spent time with Wang Chen before he went on an expedition.  During the hunting process, Wang Chen also told Li Shifu in great detail what to pay attention to during special operations, and also gave special instructions, that is, when traveling in ice and snow, you must make good use of your skiing and skating skills.  Except for Li Shifu, other special forces sergeants have mastered this skill. In the north in winter, it is full of ice and snow, so this skill can be of great use.  Li Shifu naturally listened attentively and kept Wang Chen's teachings in mind.  Just three days after this autumn hunt, Li Shifu led his special force to set off to catch up with Wu Jie's army, which had set out a month earlier than his men.  During this period, although the battles in the Song Dynasty have calmed down a lot, at least the battles on the surface are not so fierce, the battles behind the scenes have never stopped, especially between the two prime ministers Li Gang and Zhang Jun.  Infighting.  In fact, there was no fundamental conflict between the two people. Zhang Jun was young and energetic, and he had always been dissatisfied with Li Gang's control of government affairs and did not allow others to express their opinions on government affairs.  And he himself was young and successful, and thought that his various achievements outweighed Li Gang's, and Li Gang should not point fingers at him.  Li Gang, on the other hand, couldn't stand Zhang Jun's arrogance and aggressiveness, and had never been very fond of Zhang Jun.  The fight between the two also gave Wang Chen a chance to stand out further.  Whether it is Li Gang or Zhang Jun, they all want Wang Chen's support to strengthen their influence.  Under such circumstances, whether it was Li Gang or Zhang Jun's political opinions, they would be refuted by the local government, while what Wang Chen proposed would rarely be opposed by others, especially Li Gang and Zhang Jun.  To be honest, it is really difficult to distinguish the military exploits of Li Gang and Zhang Jun. What Li Gang will remember is that during the first defense battle of Tokyo, he desperately resisted the Jin attack, but then led his troops to rescue  In the battle of Taiyuan, they suffered a huge defeat.  However, Zhang Jun's achievements after taking charge of Sichuan and Shaanxi were obvious to all, especially his army that defeated the Jin people's plan to invade Sichuan and Shaanxi and the subsequent Eastern Expedition.  However, Wang Chen was happy to see the fight between Li Gang and Zhang Jun. After all, the fight between the two of them had not reached the level of openness and face-breaking, and it was not a life-and-death fight.  The fight between the two of them also gave him the opportunity to further control the government. It can be said that during this period, the major affairs of the government have basically been in his will.? Mainly, especially the implementation of various reform plans.  Wang Chen knew that as long as he made good use of the fight between Li Gang and Zhang Jun, his voice in the court would become greater and greater.  But just when Wang Chen thought everything was going smoothly, something bothered him.  This incident happened to Emperor Zhao Chen and his newly married concubine Zhe Yueru!
