Liu Xu and the ministers followed the emperor and vaguely felt that this man was unreliable. The appearance of gunpowder made him happy. At first, he was also very excited, but when he saw this power with his own eyes, he suddenly felt a little disappointed.

Even the sheep cannot be killed, and they must be placed in a fixed place to ignite with people. How can this be done on the battlefield? Jingguo is prosperous, and many soldiers are wearing armor. Even a long-haired sheep cannot be killed. How effective can it be on the armored soldiers?

However, seeing the emperor's face full of fanaticism, he didn't say anything. Perhaps the emperor witnessed the battle in front of Nanjing City with his own eyes and became superstitious about the power of Jing's arms.

In fact, Liu Xu did not think that the Jing army was the opponent of the Jin army's cavalry. The Jin Kingdom now has no armor, but after storing a large amount of population land in the Liao Kingdom, 500,000 or 600,000 yuan was collected. The key was to make the soldiers who fought for years need to rest and recuperate.

Under the iron hoof of the Jin Kingdom, the Great Liao Kingdom was irresistible, and the Jing Kingdom, which had fought with the Great Liao for a hundred years, was no match for it.

Therefore, Liu Xu was full of confidence in the Jin Kingdom and did not place his hope on firearms. He had a good responsibility. If he didn't, the 200,000 cavalry of the Jin army went south. As long as he passed Yanshan Prefecture and Qigou Pass, he could be flat and down until the Kaiyuan City of Jingguo.

Liu Xu walked through this section of the road himself, so he was full of confidence. The Jin army was good at fighting horses, and there were many infantry soldiers in the Jing Kingdom. If you rely on the mountain passes, like Yanshan Prefecture, Jing Kingdom could still resist, but as long as the Jin Kingdom broke Yanshan Prefecture, Jing Kingdom would not be able to resist.

If Jingguo wants to go north, he will be very trapped in the south. To the west, Datong Prefecture is Jincheng Tangchi, and to the north, Yanshan Prefecture is Shanhaiguan, which is already solid. Even if Jingjun has the ability to break through Shanhaiguan, and there are also the long and narrow Liaoxi Corridor, several states along the way, many cities can be held.

In other words, opportunities are unequal. If they want to go south, they can drive straight in just by taking Yanshan Mansion. If Jingguo wants to go north, there will inevitably be many difficulties. This is determined by the general trend of mountains and rivers, so Liu Xu is not worried about sideways such as firearms.

What he was worried about was that the Jingguo Navy was waiting for an opportunity to land in various parts of the Bohai Bay.

And there have been some rumors recently that the emperor has placed his uncle Wanyan Zongbi under house arrest.

It is indeed heard that the King of Liao returned to Beijing under the imperial edict, but he has not seen anyone yet. Liu Xu also had doubts, but he didn't say anything. He also knew that even if the emperor did it, he couldn't say anything. The new emperor succeeded to the throne, and these actions were inevitable.

He walked forward and said, "The emperor worked hard for the country and found the magic gunpowder of immortals. It is a blessing for our Jin Kingdom, but I have something to say."

Yelu Li turned around and said, "If you want to say it, just say it."

"Yes." Liu Xu sorted out his thoughts and spoke: "Gunpowder is important, but there is another thing that is also very important. In my opinion, the Jing army cannot resist hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry in our Jin Kingdom. If the emperor wants to go south, rest and recuperate, he will be unable to resist it.

But we had to guard against the Jingguo Navy. In the last battle of Liao and Nanjing, the Jingguo Navy went up from the Haihe River and rushed straight to the city of Nanjing, and the Liao army suffered a great loss.

I am worried that they will use their old tricks again, so I want to ask the emperor to send more soldiers to the Laizhou area of ​​Chenzhou, and set up more posts on the beach, just in case."

The civil and military ministers and Jurchen nobles behind him also thought after hearing Liu Xu's words. Wanyan Li turned around: "Didn't you say that Jing State is not the opponent of our Jin Dynasty cavalry? What else can you guard against? If they dare to land from the sea, I will let my Jin Dynasty cavalry trample them to death on the beach!"

Liu Xu wanted to say something, Wanyan Li waved his hand: "You need to say nothing, I have my own opinions and will think about it myself. You also know that my Great Jin Iron Cavalry is invincible in the world. As long as you break through Yanshan Mansion, go south and fight to Kaiyuan City, will it take so many small moves?"

"The emperor is wise!"

"The Emperor's Divine Martial Arts..."

Someone immediately flattered, Wanyan Li felt comfortable and turned around and left without saying anything. He was not just to refute Liu Xu, but to really have confidence. As long as he passed Yanshan Mansion, he had full confidence that Jingguo could not stop them.

The iron cavalry of the Great Jin Dynasty fought from Liaodong and had never been defeated. He was invincible in the world. The only one who could stop them was the strong city of Yanshan Prefecture. After breaking Yanshan Prefecture, he had full confidence to stomp Jingguo under the iron hooves.

Now that he had the Immortal Gunpowder again, he suddenly felt even more unstoppable and full of confidence.

At that time, not only can one obtain a prosperous Central Plains, expand territory for the Great Jin Kingdom, but it can also prove to the people of the world that he is no worse than his father. What kind of bullshit the father said about the King of Jin cannot compare with him at all!

As he thought about it, Wanyan Li clenched his fingers tightly and clenched into a fist.

The eunuch came over and whispered, "Your Majesty, Goryeo has attacked a group of beauties and porcelain. Do you want to go and see it?"

Wanyan Li was in high spirits and said, "It's just right, go and have a look."

"Hey!" The eunuch was amused and led him away.

The powerful ministers behind him slowly dispersed.

Liu Xu stood there, not knowing whether it was joy or sorrow, but after a long time he turned around and happened to face a big man with a bearded face.

This man is tall and big, with his beard connected from his chin to his forehead, giving people a rough feeling.

Although he looked like this, Liu Xu did not dare to slack off and quickly bowed and said hello: "King of Qi."

This person is Pu Chayi, the King of Qi, a general under the command of Taizu of Jin, and is also the current father-in-law. The current emperor's empress Pu Chaling is the daughter of the King of Qi. It is said that Pu Chaling was born in Germany and was smart and clever. In addition, the King of Qi and Taizu were young and had made a marriage contract since childhood.

"Prime Minister." King Qi responded and said, "I think the Prime Minister just said it very reasonably. If you want to guard against the people of Jing, you have to guard against them coming from the sea. When I was in Liaodong, I saw many people of Jing who came to do business at sea."

When Liu Xu heard this, he suddenly felt a sense of Shu Chang who met his confidant: "King Mingcha of Qi, the people of Jingguo's shipbuilding skills are far superior to ours, and there are countless skilled craftsmen, which is their strength.

Our warriors are brave and good at fighting, and they are victorious in every battle, and are irresistible. This is our strength. If the senior management of Jingguo is smart enough, they will know that they should play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses and fight with us. They will rely on a solid city on land and then detour from the sea to harass us..."

King Qi nodded repeatedly as he heard this.

As he spoke, Liu Xu sighed: "It's a pity that the emperor doesn't listen to me."

King Qi said: "I have known Mr. Xu for a long time. If the Emperor was still there, he would definitely agree with Mr. Xu. Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will try my best to tell the emperor about this matter."

"Then there will be King Laoqi."

"Don't say that, the Prime Minister is for my good fortune. If one day I want to lead troops south, I hope to ask the Prime Minister for advice."

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

......

A few days later, the army that attacked the Tatars began to withdraw, and a large number of elite troops headed south, but they still did not see the Liao King. The news of Wanyan Zongbi being secretly detained by the emperor became even louder.

But no matter what, the Jin Kingdom was eyeing the south, especially after the news of the emperor having the gunpowder of the immortals came out, it showed an impatient trend.

The successive victory made many people full of confidence, and the south was even richer. The Jin nobles had long been eager to see such a big piece of cake...
