Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

Chapter 173 triggers a new sign-in, and the State of Song sends troops!

[Ding, the sign-in mission has been triggered. Please go to the Vulture Palace to sign in. The sign-in reward is unknown!]

Ok?

Lingjiu Palace?

Hearing the system prompt sound in his mind, Lin Fan's heart couldn't help but move slightly.

The Lingjiu Palace on Piaomiao Peak is the territory of Tianshan Tonglao Wu Xingyun, one of the three free and easy elders.

The Child-Fairy of Tianshan not only has the Nine Heavens and Nine Tribes directly under her command, but also uses the Life and Death Talisman to control the forces of the Thirty-Six Paths and Seventy-Two Caves. In the State of Song and even the entire world, she is considered a strong force.

I almost forgot that I am still the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

The people of Lingjiu Palace and the seventy-two caves of the thirty-six islands may be able to be used.

Although there are no real masters among them except Tianshan Tonglao, there are more than a hundred forces, even if each of them has only a hundred people, there are more than ten thousand people, and they are all martial artists.

If these people were organized into a special army, it would have unexpected effects.

Lin Fan did not reveal these things. He took Ah Zhu and headed directly to the Northern Song Dynasty.

After arriving in the Northern Song Dynasty, the two went straight to the Northern Song Dynasty capital Bianliang.

When passing by A-Bi's grave, at A-Zhu's request, Lin Fan accompanied A-Zhu to pay tribute, and then set out again on the road to Bian Jing.

More than 20 days later, Lin Fan and Azhu arrived in Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.

At this time, the envoys from the Song and Liao dynasties were still on their way back.

However, Yelu Hong and Xu Kun had already sent messengers to their respective superiors to convey the news that the Great Zhou had agreed to send troops to aid the Liao Kingdom.

The messengers all traveled 800 miles at an express speed, which was extremely fast.

When Lin Fan and Azhu arrived in Bian Jing, the news that the Great Zhou agreed to aid the Liao Kingdom and let the Northern Song Dynasty send troops was conveyed to the small court of the Song Kingdom.

The King of Song and his ministers all looked worried.

In their view, the Song Dynasty could hardly even fight against the Liao Dynasty, let alone send troops to fight against the stronger Northern Mang and Northern Yuan.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty could be said to be sworn enemies, but now they had to help the Liao Dynasty. The King of Song and his court officials were somewhat reluctant.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Marquis Yongyi Lin Fan, requests to see you." King Zhao Xu of Song was in the imperial study, reading the memorials from a group of Song officials, when the respectful voice of the eunuch on duty came from outside the door.

Zhao Xu's expression froze when he heard this. He put down the memorial on the table and said:

"Hurry up and invite Marquis Yongyi to Chuigong Hall. Also, send someone to call Deputy Privy Councilor Wang Shao and Imperial City Envoy Gu Fan. Oh, and also go to the Library to invite Mr. Huang to come as well."

"Yes!"

The eunuch responded respectfully and went to make the arrangements.

King Song Zhao Xu shook his head slightly, stood up and went to Chuigong Hall.

Soon, King Song Zhao Xu arrived at the Chuigong Hall, and the people he arranged also arrived.

Not only that, Lin Fan and Ah Zhu, who was dressed as a man, also came to the Chuigong Hall.

"How is King Song?" Lin Fan said, bowing slightly after seeing King Song Zhao Xu.

Prince Song Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Lin, for your concern. I am in good health. I will keep a seat for you, Lord Lin!"

The following words were naturally instructions to the eunuchs in the palace.

Soon, a eunuch brought a chair and placed it behind Lin Fan.

"Thank you, King Song," Lin Fan thanked him and sat down on the chair without any hesitation.

King Zhao Xu of Song asked, "Lord Lin, are you here to help the Liao Kingdom?"

Lin Fan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that's exactly why."

Zhao Xu frowned slightly and said, "Lord Lin and the court should be aware of the situation in Song State."

"For so many years, the Song Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom have been in a state of hostility. Now that we are suddenly asked to send troops to aid the Liao Kingdom, everyone from the officials to the soldiers is extremely reluctant."

"Furthermore, the Song State has a small army and few generals. Even if they wanted to send troops to help, their ability is limited. I wonder if the imperial court can provide military support?"

Huang Shang, Gu Fan and Wang Shao all stood silently by the side and did not interrupt at this time.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Prince Song. The imperial court will definitely provide support. However, the situation in Liao is critical right now, and only Song is closer and can provide support more quickly. That's why we're sending troops from Song first."

"Also, the King of Song must have known about the Liao Kingdom's promise. After consultation with the important officials of the court, His Majesty decided to grant the land promised by the Liao Kingdom to the Song Kingdom."

When King Song Zhao Xu heard Lin Fan's words, his eyes suddenly lit up and he became a little eager, "Are you serious, Lord Lin?"

Lin Fan said, "I am currently representing His Majesty and the imperial court, so I will not make any jokes."

King Song Zhao Xu said, "In that case, I would like to thank Your Majesty and the court for the reward."

At this time, Deputy Privy Councilor Wang Shao said, "Your Majesty, those territories are still in the hands of the Liao Kingdom. If we cannot repel the Northern Mang and Northern Yuan, everything will be in vain."

Zhao Xu's joy faded a little when he heard this.

Lin Fan asked, "Who is this gentleman?"

King Zhao Xu of Song introduced him, saying, "This man is the Deputy Privy Councilor of Song. He is not only talented in literature, but also quite capable in military affairs."

"It's you, Lord Wang," Lin Fan said, bowing to Wang Shao. "What Lord Wang said is indeed true, but if the Song Kingdom doesn't send troops, the Liao Kingdom won't be able to hold out for much longer."

"After the Liao Kingdom's fall, the Song Kingdom would face direct attacks from the Northern Mang and Northern Yuan armies. Even if reinforcements from the Great Zhou court arrived in time, the battlefield would still be within Song territory. Would the Song Kingdom still be able to enjoy the peace and prosperity it enjoys today?"

Wang Shao said, "I admit that Lord Lin's words make sense, but I'm not being self-deprecating. The Song army's combat effectiveness is truly limited..."

Before Wang Shao could finish, Lin Fan interrupted, "I know the situation of the Song army. That's why you're going to join forces with the Liao army."

"I will personally be present at the battlefront and lead the Liao army to the front, doing my best to protect the Song army. This will also provide them with an opportunity to train. Well, Lord Wang can accompany us as deputy commander."

"Thank you Lord Lin for your appreciation, but whether I can accompany you is still up to Your Majesty to decide," Wang Shao thanked Lin Fan, and then clasped his fists to King Song Zhao Xu.

King Song Zhao Xu said, "Since Lord Lin values ​​you so highly, then you should follow Lord Lin and lead the army into battle."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shao immediately thanked King Song Zhao Xu and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Then please ask King Song and Lord Wang to prepare the army as soon as possible and set off as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Lord Lin," said King Song, nodding slightly.

After a while of pleasantries, Lin Fan said goodbye to King Song and left the palace with Ah Zhu.

King Zhao Xu of Song sent people from the Ministry of Rites to arrange accommodation for Lin Fan and Azhu.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed, and the State of Song had also prepared an army of 100,000!

Before setting off, Lin Fan called Wang Shao aside.
