"That's not what I meant." Wu Jie crossed his hands and replied solemnly.

On top of Fangshan, Zhao Jiu, Hu Yin and Han Shizhong were almost all stunned. Even Yang Yizhong, who was standing nearby, and Lv Benzhong and other close attendants who had just come from the capital to report the news were slightly stunned... Obviously, everyone understood Wu Jie's hint in an instant.

Of course, there is no need to hint at this situation.

"Your Majesty." Wu Jie saw that Emperor Zhao had come to his senses, and immediately stepped forward and reminded him seriously. "The Liao people are not easy to deal with... I have no doubts about Yelu Dashi's ability, nor do I worry about the fighting power of the Khitans, nor do I worry about the problem of the six counties in Hexi, because whether it is the Jin people or the Western Xia people, even if they have the wisdom of Zhuge Wuhou, I am afraid that they did not take the Khitans in the Western Regions into account from the beginning. This time, the plan is basically like we have grasped the secret of heaven. As long as we show off our strength and bluff in northern Shaanxi, we can reap the benefits... But I am afraid that Yelu Dashi and the Western Liao will succeed too much!"

"What will happen if we go too far?" In the warm breeze of March, Zhao Jiu became completely serious.

"What I mean is that Li Ganshun is almost fifty years old and has been the ruler for forty-seven or forty-eight years. How smart and capable is he? What if he fails to react in time and is attacked by the Liao cavalry along the Hexi Passage to Xingqing Prefecture?" Wu Jie became more solemn. "Moreover, the Liao and Xixia have been intermarried for generations. Before the Jin's victory in Yinshan, Li Ganshun relied entirely on the Khitans. The queen was Princess Yelu and the crown prince was Yelu's grandson. Therefore, in Xixia, not only the Dangxiang people have a good impression of the Khitans, but even some of the ministers who followed Princess Yelu here still hold high positions. By then..."

"When Yelu Dashi occupies Xingqing Prefecture, will he become too powerful to be eliminated?" Zhao Jiu continued. "Will he imitate the story of Yanjing and bite us hard? Will he occupy Xingling and become the second Li Yuanhao?"

"I don't think so." Just before Wu Jie opened his mouth, Hu Yin spoke again. "For Western Liao and Yelu Dashi, the Jurchens are the biggest enemy that destroyed the country and the formidable enemy. As long as the 200,000 Jurchens are still there, Yelu Dashi, if he still has a bit of sense, will not provoke a fight without authorization..."

"So what if I start a war?" Unexpectedly, Zhao Jiu chose to support Wu Jie this time. "For the Song Dynasty and me, the Jurchens are also a great enemy who destroyed our country. As long as the 200,000 households of the Jurchens on the other side of the river are still there, if I still have a bit of reason, I will not go to war with the Western Liao Dynasty just because of a little territory and friction... Because the Khitans are not the Tanguts. Between the Song and Jin, the Tanguts will only choose to follow the Jin Kingdom and fight against us, while the Khitans will choose to follow us and fight against the Jurchens."

Hu Yin was slightly startled.

"There will definitely not be a war, but friction and probing are unavoidable." Zhao Jiu sighed. "The key is not to show weakness or give in... I think it's enough to remind Pengju a little bit, he will handle it properly... The key is in Xingling Land, we must be on guard."

"The emperor previously promised the six counties and four districts in Hexi, but not the land of Xingling..." Lu Benzhong interrupted hurriedly.

"This matter has nothing to do with whether Xu or not. The outcome will be determined on the battlefield. After the Maritime Alliance, how can we trust a verbal agreement?" Zhao Jiu shook his head impatiently, bypassing Han Shizhong who had been very honest recently, and spoke directly to Wu Jie. "What does Mr. Wu say?"

"I still agree with the previous secret letter." Wu Jie was greatly encouraged and quickly presented the plan he had prepared. "You can contact the Western Xiazhou Commander Weiming Heda in advance. His original name was Xiao Heda. He was a minister of the deceased Western Xia Queen, Princess Yelu Nanxian. He has been in charge of the military power in Xiazhou for a long time. After the fall of the Liao Dynasty, many Khitans in and outside the Yellow River also defected to him, but were stopped by Li Ganshun... Your Majesty, in my opinion, the reason why the Khitans in Western Xia could tolerate the death of Princess Nanxian and the Crown Prince was only because of Li Ganshun's prestige in power for more than 40 years. Once Yelu Dashi appears in the heart of Western Xia, they may not be unable to do anything. After the death of the Queen and the Crown Prince of Khitan descent, most of these Khitans are now in Xiazhou, an important town behind Hengshan."

You know, as the actual person in charge of the Shaanxi-North front, Wu Jie had been hanging around on the Western Xia border for nearly twenty years and had known Weiming Heda's background early on. He had also reported the matter to Emperor Zhao long after Yelu Dashi's plan came out, and then he had another plan... What he meant was that he planned to incite Weiming Heda's rebellion before Yelu Dashi crossed the Hexi Corridor and wait for Yelu Dashi to send troops. In this way, the Dangxiang people would not be able to take care of both ends, and it might even give the Song Dynasty a chance to directly seize the Hengshan defense line.

But Zhao Jiu had not promised before.

This time, after hesitating for a moment, the official still chose to shake his head slowly: "I still mean that. We still cannot expose Yelu Dashi's existence in advance... Wu Qing also said that Li Ganshun has been the emperor for nearly fifty years and has great prestige in the country. Since he can kill his wife and children and then appoint Weiming Heda without hesitation, it can be seen that he still has some heroic spirit. If he fails, it will be a complete loss."

"But what about Xingling?" Wu Jie seemed a little uneasy. "What if Yelu Dashi went to Xingling, and Weiming Heda responded in Xiazhou, and the heavy troops in Hengshan and the state army surrendered to Yelu Dashi together?"

"Let Yue Pengju make his own decision." Zhao Jiu thought for a moment and made a decision that made Wu Jie slightly stunned. "Send the discussion and intelligence here to him and let him decide how, when, and where to send troops... We are hundreds of miles apart, so there is no need to say too much. I trust him."

Wu Jie opened his mouth to speak, but fell silent, while Han Shizhong also hesitated to speak.
