The struggle of the reborn prince

"Grand Master, this statement is too alarmist. My Dajin Kingdom just lost the barren land in the northwest. Although Zuo Shuai's mansion suffered losses, it is still fighting fiercely. Moreover, the foundation of the ancestors still exists, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The sons and daughters can mount their swords at any time, and they are still afraid of the Southern Dynasty. Now that the Southern Dynasty has won a small victory, it is not easy to annex our Dajin. If Zhao Erruo knows the current affairs, how could he refuse to negotiate peace!" Wu Shu's words, the people in the hall were all in a panic. Shocked, but Shangshu Youcheng Wanyan Zong did not agree with Wushu's statement, and refuted it.

"Your Majesty, the large-scale invasion of the Song army was not accidental. Zhao Erchu planned for so many years to launch the Northern Expedition. His fundamental purpose was to destroy the Kingdom of Jin, but not just for compensation and land. Therefore, he would never fight with the Kingdom of Jin. Peace talks at this time." Vice President Wan Yan Yuying said, he knew that Wu Shu's words were definitely not alarmist, as long as one is not a fool, and there are not so many saints in the world, no one will be in the situation of absolute advantage Stop, they will definitely maximize their own interests, and Zhao Er is one of the masters.

"Vice Dushuai, you mean that Nanchao wants to swallow our Dajin Kingdom this time. This is really a joke. Don't forget that 20 years ago Nanchao asked us for peace many times, paying age + top + points + novel coins, Even if our national strength is not as good as it was then, it will be a matter of time to destroy our Dajin!" Shangshu Zuocheng Wanyan Zongxian also believed that the situation had not deteriorated to the point of no return, and the Song Dynasty did not have the ability to destroy the Jin Kingdom.

"Master Zuo, the Southern Dynasty at this time is no longer the Southern Dynasty at that time. I have a [-] army in the Right Marshal's Mansion, and it only lasted more than a month to rely on Jiehao before losing the whole line; Zuo Marshal's Mansion is only half a month away, and the Song army has already penetrated into the border. Hundreds of miles away, Jinzhou City has been besieged!" Wanyan Yuying sneered inwardly.This old antique still doesn't understand the current situation, and the Youshuai Mansion is now over.The number of remnants brought back by Pu San Zhongyi was less than a thousand, and the northwest line of defense suddenly opened.And Zuo Shuai's mansion has lost more than half of its troops.Only the isolated city of Jinzhou is left. Once the Song army completes its preparations for combat against Liaoyang, it will be completely isolated, and Zuo Shuai's mansion is actually in danger.

"It's all because the imperial court didn't know how to employ people, and the failure of Youshuai's mansion was caused by the fact that Wanyan Bingde, the right supervisor, panicked and left the field without authorization, which caused Youshuai to lose his foundation and his back road was cut off; while the Song army was able to quickly break through Laizhou. , Xizhou, and going deep into Baili is also the reason why the Zuo Supervisor Army betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy, and also lured wolves into the house for the vanguard. Therefore, the top priority is to severely punish the traitors. Punish the nine clans to make an example, and boost the morale of our army so that we can fight again." Wanyan Zongxian thought that the previous series of failures were all due to the fact that the two did not fight, and pointed the finger at Taishi Wushu, implying that there was a problem with his employment.

"The left and right supervisors are all important ministers of the country, or they are clansmen, or they are meritorious officials. It may be difficult for them to say so. As far as I know, the left supervisors came to the state for reinforcements and the boundary trenches were broken halfway. The small city of Laizhou has no danger to defend. He ordered the generals and civilians to withdraw to Xizhou before the Song army arrived. Putting him to death made him helpless to surrender to the enemy. And Wanyan Bingde was strongly recommended by someone in the court to serve as the right supervisor!" Wanyan Yuying said with a sneer.

Wanyan Yuying knew that the grand master wanted Wanyan Bingde to become an official.It was precisely because Wanyan Zongxian strongly recommended him to go to Changchun Prefecture for the sake of the same clan.However, Wushu swept the treasury in Wanyan Bingde and went to Zuo Shuai's mansion to join Wanyan Liang. Some ministers impeached him for leaving without authorization, but did not punish him.Also considering the instability of the current situation, I was worried that there would be another Sa Li Drink.Therefore, the matter was suppressed to avoid losing face.I didn't expect to hit him back now, and I couldn't help but sarcasm in my words.

"Your Majesty, I think peace talks should be made. Now that there are enemies outside and wars going on inside, the country will be destroyed if the fight continues!" Wanyan Zongxian said. He is now compiling the history of the country and knows a lot about domestic affairs. Knowing that the Kingdom of Jin is no longer the Kingdom of Jin in the past.

After Wanyan Quan succeeded to the throne, the country's civil strife continued, the political situation was unstable, and it suffered repeated defeats in wars. It lost the rich land of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and had to relocate a large number of people.However, a large number of Jurchens moved back, and the government would grant them land, which would inevitably encroach on the land of the local people. The conflict between the landless people and the Jurchens became more and more acute, which aroused the people to continuously resist the government's policies.

At the same time, after Wushu came to power, in order to prepare for the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty, he conscripted strong men to join the army, built boundary trenches, and "conquered troubles" among the people.The strong men of the Jurchen, Khitan, and Xi ethnic groups were all required to be conscripted into the army. This was not enough, and the strong men of the Han nationality were forced to be recruited.Ding men cannot engage in agricultural production, and the army needs a large amount of food and pay, which creates an economic crisis.This also aroused the anti-money struggle of the people of all ethnic groups. At this time, in many areas of the country, "thieves rose up, the big ones connected the cities, and the small ones protected the mountains."

Judging from the war with the Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty is in a losing situation.At this time, unlike the early Jin Dynasty, the Jurchen nobles were in the era of slave society, and the slave-owner nobles actively supported the war in order to satisfy their greed for plunder.At this time, the Jurchen had transitioned to a feudal society, and most of the Jurchen nobles were already indulging in a life of wealth and pleasure, and did not want to go to the battlefield to charge.Most of the Jin Dynasty's army was recruited from various ethnic groups, so naturally they were unwilling to fight.Therefore, the economic poverty of Jin and the war weariness from top to bottom are not conducive to the continuation of the war, and peace talks are naturally the best policy.

"I also think it's not good to fight again. We should negotiate a peace with the Southern Dynasty as soon as possible while the situation is still in our favor. The longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it will be!" Xiao Zhonggong also said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the weather is getting warmer now, and spring plowing is just around the corner, but all the strong men are conscripted into the army. If the farming season is delayed, there will be no crops this year, no food and wages, and it is impossible to fight!" Zhao Wang Wanyanxu also joined in the fun. , He has always hated Wushu for letting him become an official. We let you do what you don't want to do.

"Grand Master, what do you think?" Wanyan Quan asked Wu Shu who was sitting under his hand while listening to the speeches of the ministers.

"Ahem... a peace negotiation is not impossible." Wu Shu saw that the emperor was showing signs of going berserk again, and the important officials in the court overwhelmingly supported the peace negotiation, and he had fallen into isolation, so he pondered for a moment.

"Grand Master, this..." He Shi Lie Zhining, Minister of the Ministry of War, saw that the father-in-law actually compromised in public. This is not a good sign. They are taking the opportunity to make trouble. Could it be that the Grand Master can't see it, he couldn't help but wondered.

"Although the Song and Jin countries are now fighting fiercely, there is no chance of peace talks again, but unless the situation reverses. But this is by no means the best time, and the Southern Dynasty will not agree. Yes." Wu Shu waved his hand to stop his son-in-law and said slowly.

"Then the grand master thinks when is the best time to negotiate a peace?" Wanyan Quan didn't want to fight, but the grand master couldn't make the decision if he didn't speak, now he finally vomited under the pressure, and asked with joy in his heart.

"Liaoyang Mansion, as long as we defend Liaoyang, peace can be achieved!" Wu Shu said slowly.Through many years of experience in fighting Zhao Er, he thought that when Liaoyang fell, Zhao Er would continue to attack, realize the two-way joint attack, and join forces to go to Beijing; but if he lost in Liaoyang City, the Song army would become a lame giant. The Route Army will never go deep rashly, but will only conduct diversionary tactical operations in the grassland area, waiting for the next order.At this time, Jin Guo proposed negotiations, and the Southern Dynasty could accept it. Although there may be repetitions, Zhao Er knows the current affairs best and will not let this opportunity pass.

"What's the relationship between the negotiation and the Liaoyang government?" Wanyan Zongben and the others didn't expect Wushu to give in, but they were confused about the timing of the peace negotiation proposed by him, and he didn't know what the mystery was, so he asked suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, I know a little bit about what the Grand Master means, can you tell me in person!" Seeing Wu Shu leaning on the chair, Wanyan Yuying knew that his body would not be able to support him after a long time, so he took over the conversation and said.

"Well, tell me!" Wan Yanquan nodded in response.

"Your Majesty, my lords, Liaoyang is an important hub connecting the Central Plains and western Liaoning. If the Song army conquers this place in one fell swoop, it will open the southern gate that goes deep into the hinterland of our Great Jin Kingdom, and then go to the capital along the Liaobei River; The most prosperous place in the country is also the center of wealth, and they will never let it go. If the Song Army cannot capture Liaoyang Mansion for a while, the two armies will enter a stalemate; if they are defeated in Liaoyang, the Song Army will be in the left commander's army Under the pincer attack with the Liaoyang army, we will withdraw quickly, and the south attack will fail, and our army can fully deal with the other Song army coming from the northwest. Therefore, the key point of this victory is the Liaoyang mansion now." Finished Yan Yuying explained.

"Could this be another tactic of the Song Army's attacking east and west? It is false that they attacked Liaoyang, but it is true that they attacked Jinzhou?" It seems that everyone in Jin Kingdom knows about Song Army's attack on east and west, even nerds like Wanyan Zongxian he asked rhetorically.

"Well, Zhao Er may have had this intention at first, and pretended to attack Liaoyang to force me to divide the troops from Zuo Shuai's mansion, or to withdraw because he was worried that the retreat would be cut off, but now Sa Li and Xian City surrendered, allowing the Song army to drive straight into Jinzhou city. There is no need to attack west and east, and once Liaoyang is lost, Jinzhou only needs to besiege and not attack, and it will be trapped to death. I am now worried that Liaoyang will send troops to reinforce Jinzhou, weakening its own strength and making the city unsafe!" End Yan Yuying said with a sigh.

"The grand master's intention is to reinforce Liaoyang and give up Jinzhou?" Wanyan Quan, who had been sitting on the throne in a daze, asked suddenly.

"Your Majesty, this is exactly what I mean. If Liaoyang is not lost, we can negotiate peace with the Southern Dynasty." Wu Shu nodded.

"No, give up Jinzhou, what about Di Gunai? Now negotiate a peace with the Southern Dynasty to prevent them from attacking Jinzhou. You must rescue him!" Wanyan Quan slapped the imperial case and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, this..." Wu Shu watched the emperor go crazy, and felt a burst of powerlessness in his body. He said it for a long time, but he had a deep love for his brother, and he hadn't forgotten Wan Yanliang's single-mindedness when he was about to die. A good brother who wants to usurp power...
