Qiming 1158

Chapter 374 Does that old man Zhao Go dare to disobey my order?
As an emperor, Wanyan Liang sometimes felt that he was a little helpless.

Therefore, in the field where he can make arbitrary decisions, he will indulge himself, so as to hedge against the last resort brought by the identity of the emperor, and let his heart go.

But there are always some things that he can't do whatever he wants.

such as war.

"Whether or not to go to war is not something I can easily decide. The Han Chinese bandit army is bullying people too much, and it is impossible to continue to endure it. We must fight, we have to fight, even if we just launch an attack and get a little bit of victory, It is also necessary.”

Wanyan Liang sighed and said, "I know your worries, the vanguard, just dispatch [-] troops. The goal... even if it's just to defeat a small army of bandits, or capture a small town, at least, there must be Good news let me know."

He Shi Lie Liangbi and Tu Shanzhen looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Wanyan Liang had not lost his mind.

The dispatch of troops was to deal with the growing dissatisfaction with Wanyanliang in the DPRK.

Wanyanliang can oppress the ministers, so that they don't dare to oppose blatantly, but the main reason why Jin Guo has reached the current level of internal and external troubles is still to be counted on Wanyanliang. The country has become so embarrassed and in crisis.

None of us are blind or fools, and they know exactly what the reason is.

People dare not speak, but they dare to be angry.

Such anger has accumulated enough, there is no need to speak, and at that time, the knife will replace the mouth.

Therefore, even an emperor like Wanyan Liang, who ascended the throne by killing, would feel panic.

In fact, Wanyanliang was also difficult to ride a tiger, and had to face the Restoration Army with the most determined and tough attitude.

Although this tiger was raised by him with one hand.

After returning to the Privy Council, He Shi Lie Liangbi and Tu Shanzhen had a discussion and decided to follow Wanyan Liang's order and mobilize a unit as the vanguard of the army to take the lead in launching an attack on the Restoration Army.

According to the current information, Su Yonglin, one of the leaders of the Restoration Army, is stationed in Hejianfu, so the goal of the vanguard is to enter Hejianfu, an important town in Hebei, and try to tear a hole in the defense line of the Restoration Army.

Of course, this is a superficial, announced combat strategy to strengthen the military power of Jin Guo.

In fact, the vanguard only needs to send troops to win a small victory or capture a small city.

Wanyanliang had no other needs. All Wanyanliang needed was a small military victory to stabilize people's hearts.

Moreover, at least this represents the official start of the battle of the Southern Expedition. Most of the attention of the courtiers will be attracted by this battle, and the political crisis facing Wanyan Liang will be correspondingly reduced.

After this army was dispatched, the remaining main force of the Southern Expedition still needed some preparations to complete the final preparations for the attack.

With 12 soldiers, more than 30 signing troops and civilian husbands, and a huge military group of more than 40 people dispatched, what needs to be paid behind is astronomical figures of food, ordnance, living supplies, money, etc.

Driven by Wanyanliang, the entire imperial court moved on a large scale to work for the upcoming full-scale southern expedition.

And since the Central Army attacked, the troops of Hedong and Nanjing Road could not defend the local area without attacking.

Previously, Wanyanliang had given them the task of defending the local area and not allowing them to attack, but now that the main force of the imperial court was ready to be dispatched, they had to be ready to attack.

So Wanyan Liang ordered Wanyan Yiying, the general manager of the Henan Road and the North Road, and Kong Yanzhou, who stayed behind in Kaifeng, to prepare for the attack, and when his army was ready, they dispatched together.

Wanyanliang's tactical arrangement generally formed a situation of three-way attack, trying to annihilate the Restoration Army in one fell swoop.

Wanyan Liang will lead the main elite troops to attack from the due north, and the army will oppress and deal with the main force of the Restoration Army.

Wanyan Yiying, the head of the Hedong Military and Horse Capital, led the army to take Zhendingfu and recapture this important town in Hebei.

Kong Yanzhou's troops were the weakest, so he would attack from the south, targeting several states bordering the Southern Song Dynasty, poking the eyes of the Restoration Army, so that he could not concentrate on fighting against the Jin Army.

Wanyanliang, with vague concerns and the ambition to dominate the world and become the Holy Lord, is ready to launch a powerful offensive against the Restoration Army.

At the same time, Wanyanliang remembered the matter of sending someone to ask questions in the Southern Song Dynasty before, so he went to ask Heshi Lie Liangbi, and learned that the Southern Song Dynasty had not replied yet, which made Wanyanliang a little angry.

"Does that old man Zhao Gou dare to disobey my orders? He really doesn't send troops? Alright, ok, if he doesn't go out, I have an excuse to attack Song!"

Wanyan Liang snorted heavily, and in his words, he seemed to regard the Southern Song Dynasty as a piece of meat on his lips.

In fact, Zhao Gou was still quite confused.

In mid-September, Zhao Gou also got the news that the Liberation Army was in civil strife and Wanyan Liang asked him to send troops north to attack the Liberation Army.

The civil strife in the Restoration Army seemed to be quite big, and the leaders changed two times in a row.

After the first leader, Zhao Kaishan, died of illness, he changed his name to Zhao Xiang, and sent a seal to Zhao Gou, saying that he had inherited Zhao Kaishan's status and would continue to exist as a Song minister.

Before Zhao Gou could decide whether to promise him to continue to be a minister of the Great Song Dynasty, he was finished, and a man named Zhao Zuoliang became the new leader.

He sent a performance to Zhao Gou again, saying that Zhao Xiang was a rebel and killed Zhao Kaishan.

He is also willing to be Song Chen, obeying the orders of the Song Dynasty, hoping to get assistance from the Song Dynasty, such as money, materials, anything, whatever, anyway, the Restoration Army wants everything, and does not dislike it.

This bright gesture of reaching out for money made the Southern Song Dynasty worried.

The two successive leadership changes made the Southern Song court strongly doubt the stability and durability of the Restoration Army Group.

Zhao Gou's sense of insecurity suddenly increased, and he suspected that the Restoration Army was about to die, so under his instructions, Southern Song unilaterally cut off any contact with the Restoration Army, and did not respond to the Restoration Army's active contact, and dealt with it coldly.

In addition to continuing to collect intelligence, Zhao Gou basically no longer intends to have any contact with the Restoration Army Group.

Immediately after, Wanyan Liang's credentials were delivered.

Wanyan Liang was in command of the emperor, and as the emperor of the suzerain, he asked the emperor of the vassal state, Zhao Gou, to send troops north to assist his army in pacifying the rebellion of the Restoration Army, and fight with his army of millions.

After the completion of the matter, he will reward the four border states as rewards for the Southern Song Dynasty.

This is the benefit.

If Zhao Gou disobeyed the suzerain state's request and did not send troops to assist in the battle, then it would be regarded as disrespectful, disrespectful, and rebellious, and violated the peace treaty concluded between the two countries. , to attack the Southern Song Dynasty and teach Zhao Gou a lesson.

Zhao Gou was very angry at the time, but he was more afraid, so he summoned some confidants to discuss the matter secretly, and asked them whether they should refuse or obey Jin Guo's will to set off.

Faced with this kind of request and the blatant insult to Song Guo and Zhao Gou, even Tang Situi, who has always been a peacemaker, dare not say that he wants to listen to Jin Guo's words, let alone Chen Kangbo, a radical Northern Expedition faction.

Chen Kangbo's anger at leaving, he insulted Wanyan Liang's ancestors in court, and he was very concerned about a series of problems such as the birth, aging, illness, death, and childbirth of his parents, wife and children, and worried that they would live with a beast for so many years. Personal safety issues.

Then Chen Kangbo asked Da Song to use the army to reply to Wanyan Liang, and let him know how angry Da Song was replying.
