Chapter 563

Great Qin, Ninth Prince's Mansion.

Ying Ziyu looked at the information transmitted by the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sect via secret arts.

The arc of his mouth widened involuntarily.

"Tianquan has already had Yuan Shixian of the old Four Great Constables and his Six Harmonies Azure Dragon help Zhu Wushi deal with Zhuge Zhengwo."

"With this, the internal strife of the Zizai Sect has begun."

"After so many years, Yuan Shixian has grown quite a bit due to his hatred for Zhuge Zhengwo in his heart. What kind of expression will Zhuge Zhengwo have when he sees Yuan Shixian now?!"

Ying Ziyu savored the chaos he had single-handedly caused for the major forces of the Nine Provinces.

"Great Ming has the Jianzhou Jurchens, Great Yuan, and Oirat outside, and the rebellions of Prince Nan and Prince Ning inside, along with the crusade manifesto from Zhu Houzhao of Nanzhili."

"It is already in a complete mess."

"The current situation in Great Ming is enough to keep Zhu Wushi busy!"

Subsequently, Ying Ziyu looked at the information related to Northern Song and Southern Song.

"Northern Song is actually still struggling to hold on."

"It seems it is not chaotic enough; it seems I must add another fire to this pile of old firewood in Northern Song."

"This time, let's see what methods you have, Huang Shang!"

Ying Ziyu looked toward the direction of Northern Song, his eyes filled with coldness.

……

Northern Song.

At this time, Fang La and Liang Shan were advancing together, their momentum like a broken bamboo, and both Fang La and Liang Shan were adopting a policy of benevolence toward the common people in the lands they conquered.

Therefore, wherever Fang La and Liang Shan passed, they were loved by the people, which meant that the forces of Fang La and Liang Shan did not need to spend a lot of time consolidating the conquered territories; they only needed to leave some soldiers to garrison, and the people were very cooperative.

In a very short time, the alliance of Fang La and Liang Shan had already brought half of Northern Song's territory into their own map.

As for the forces of Western Xia, Great Liao, and Great Jin invading Northern Song, although they also achieved corresponding results, their attacks were met with strong resistance from various cities in Northern Song.

This also caused Western Xia, Great Liao, and Great Jin to commit endless bloodbaths wherever they passed.

The attack of Southern Song on Northern Song was relatively gentler.

Although it was not as swift as Fang La and Liang Shan, or Western Xia, Great Jin, and Great Liao in taking down the various city strongholds of Northern Song.

But the Southern Song army also won several battles on the battlefield under the situation where Northern Song was partitioned by multiple forces.

After the victory report of defeating Northern Song reached Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou wished he could jump up directly.

Although Zhao Gou was very dim-witted and incompetent, he had always had a dream in his heart: to successfully crusade against Northern Song, completely annex it, and make Southern Song the only Great Song in the Nine Provinces!

Although Zhao Gou would appear very cowardly when dealing with foreign tribes, like his attitude toward Great Jin or Great Yuan.

Even if he could win battles against Great Jin or other foreign tribes sometimes, Zhao Gou would not think about using this opportunity to seek some benefits for Southern Song.

Instead, he would think that since we Southern Song defeated you this time, we could pay less tribute to Great Jin or other foreign tribes.

Southern Song, or rather Zhao Gou, was rotten to the core when it came to dealing with foreign tribes.

But when Zhao Gou dealt with his own people, for example, when he was in Northern Song, his attitude was unusually strong.

Previously, the establishment of their Southern Song had always been criticized by various forces in the Nine Provinces, saying that their founding was illegitimate and not orthodox.

Zhao Gou had kept these things firmly in the depths of his heart since he was a child.

He wanted to change the views of other forces toward their Southern Song, which was why Zhao Gou spared no effort when attacking Northern Song.

As for how much national strength he would consume by the end of the attack on Northern Song, and how many benefits he could get from Northern Song.

Zhao Gou had not thought about it at all.

Now, seeing the victory report transmitted from the front-line army fighting the Northern Song army.

Zhao Gou smiled until his eyes were crooked; he even wanted to reward the three armies directly.

The victory of this war against Northern Song excited him more than when he became emperor back then.

And all these expressions of Zhao Gou appeared in the eyes of Qin Gui.

Qin Gui watched all this, a touch of sarcasm appearing in his eyes.

Qin Gui felt very fortunate in his heart; he was fortunate that he had surrendered to the foreign tribes outside long ago.

If he had stayed under Zhao Gou, then accompanying Southern Song to its destruction would be a matter of time.

After all, with such a bizarre ruler, how long Southern Song could survive depended entirely on whether Heaven favored it.

Just as Zhao Gou was dancing with excitement, the letter of persuasion sent from the border poured a bucket of cold water on Zhao Gou's head.

"Yao Yue Fei actually wants me to give up attacking those bastards in Northern Song!!!"

"It really infuriates me!!!!"

"I want to kill him, I want to kill him!!!"

After Zhao Gou finished reading the letter, he acted like a madman, constantly slapping the things around him, and in an instant, he swept all the objects on the table to the ground.

"Why does Yao Yue Fei have to stop me whenever I want to do something!!!"

"He keeps doing the things I don't want to do!!!"

"I am the Emperor! Everything Yao Yue Fei has was given by me!"

"Without me, what is he!"

"I must kill him!"

Watching Zhao Gou acting like a shrew at this moment, Qin Gui felt more and more disdain for Zhao Gou in his heart.

From Zhao Gou's words, Qin Gui could roughly guess that the letter thrown on the ground by Zhao Gou was sent by Yao Yue Fei from the border, and it was a letter advising Zhao Gou not to continue attacking Northern Song.

Although he could guess the general content, Qin Gui still picked up the letter sent by Yao Yue Fei from the ground and started reading it.

After all, in Qin Gui's view, Yao Yue Fei was the greatest obstacle to Great Jin's invasion of Southern Song, and also his greatest rival.

As long as Yao Yue Fei was toppled, Southern Song would have no one left to block Great Jin's footsteps.

Looking at the letter sent by Yao Yue Fei, a flash of surprise crossed Qin Gui's eyes.

In Yao Yue Fei's letter, every word and every paragraph carried deep feelings for the imperial court and the Central Plains.

"Southern Song and Northern Song are originally one family; Great Jin and Great Yuan are the real foreign enemies."

This hit the nail on the head, clarifying the current hostile relationship for Southern Song.

If Yao Yue Fei had encountered a wise ruler, or even just a normal emperor.

Seeing the letter Yao Yue Fei sent now, they should have woken up long ago.

Even a stupid person, seeing this letter from Yao Yue Fei, even if they didn't listen to Yao Yue Fei's advice, would absolutely not want to convict Yao Yue Fei because of his loyal words!

If Southern Song had changed to any other ruler.

Perhaps Southern Song would have flourished long ago under the leadership of a strong man like Yao Yue Fei.

"Yao Yue Fei, oh Yao Yue Fei, the thing you shouldn't have done most was to be born in Southern Song."

"And the emperor is this piece of trash, Zhao Gou."
