Huang Yanli hurriedly shouted, "Shentu Xin allowed southern merchants to mine, produce salt, and cast iron, attributing all these policies to Prince Kang, so that southern landlords and merchants would thank Prince Kang and support him as the new emperor!"

Zhao Huan signaled the Imperial Guards to stop. Huang Yanli gasped for breath, his whole body trembling. In the dead of winter, the cold rained down on him.

"Anything else?"

"No...that's all...oh, there's more! There's more...there's the southwest. Shen Tu Xin wants to join forces with Annam to launch a war against the southwest of the Song Dynasty, using Annam's power to completely disrupt the southwest of the Song Dynasty and divert Yue Fei's army's attention!"

Even Zhao Huan was taken aback. Holy crap! This villain is really something, coming up with such a ruthless scheme.

They are willing to let wolves into the house and disperse my military forces.

Although Yue Fei's army was in Jiangling Prefecture, once the army of Annam invaded the southwestern border of the Song Dynasty, the court would certainly not sit idly by, and the army on the southwestern border must have already been informed by Shen Tu Xin.

At that time, Zhao Huan would really have no choice but to send Yue Fei's troops to the southwest, which would greatly reduce the pressure on Shen Tu Xin in the west.

Following this logic, at this very moment, Zhao Huan could not mobilize Zong Ze, because Zong Ze had to stay in the capital region to suppress the remaining forces in the Central Plains.

Li Gang stopped, his forehead covered in sweat. That Shen Tu Xin was truly no ordinary person.

But Zhao Huan came to his senses and smiled. Those who knew him knew that whenever he showed that smile, countless heads would surely roll.

Faced with this situation, what methods should be used? Strategy? Restraint? Balance?

No way! I have an army that is many times stronger than them. We can just sweep them all away!

P.S.: I'm on Sanjiang today, and the data has skyrocketed. Thank you all for your support.
