The struggle of the reborn prince

The next day after the adjustment of the top leadership team of the Dajin Kingdom, the first meeting was held in the Taishi Mansion. The meeting was presided over by Taishi Wushu, and the participants included Taibao Wanyan Zongmin, Taifu Wanyan Zongxiong, and Shenzhengshi Tang Kuo. Wanyan Gouying, the Deputy Commander of the Defense Department, and Zhang Hao, the Right Minister of Shangshu Province, were present. Heshi Liezhining, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, San Zhongyi, the servant of Hefang, and Wanyan Alin were present.The topic of the meeting was, of course, the greatest crisis facing the Kingdom of Jin—the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Expedition.

Wu Shu looked at the people in the hall, but felt a little bit bitter. It is said that Wanyan Liang and Wanyan Yong should sit among them to discuss state affairs with him, but the descendants of the two families he cultivated with all his strength died, and he had no choice but to put those The old man has been re-activated, and there is really no successor to this Dajin Kingdom.

For Wanyan Liang, Wushu hates iron but not steel. This child walked too smoothly under the protection of the emperor, so that his ambitions swelled, and he actually colluded with the queen and courtiers to try to do something wrong. I transferred him to Jinzhou because he wanted to keep him away from the court. In order to accumulate some experience in dealing with political and military disputes, it can be used to great advantage.Unexpectedly, his nature would be difficult to change, and when he was the enemy! No! Wrong! .fs. Before that, he still did not forget to fight for power, framed the supervisor and forced him to surrender to the Song Dynasty, which made him lose a lot of help In the end, the city was broken and killed. It is said that until his death, he still took Xiao Yu thinking that he could help him make a comeback, which is really sad. "Digunai was defeated in Jinzhou and killed, and Wulu Xian surrendered to the enemy in Liaoyang City. The guards of Shenzhou obeyed his orders and rebelled against the enemy. The guards of Guide Prefecture died in battle, which opened the southern gate. Now Dongdong Road has all fallen into the hands of the Song army. Xiangan The road is already under the front of the enemy's South Route Army, and urgent reports are sent every day, asking the imperial court to send troops for reinforcements; Wuzhe lost Changchun Prefecture for more than a month after fighting hard, because the enemy's West Route Army has been wandering by the Yazi River on Zhaohui Road during the rainy season It's been more than a month, and now we are marching eastward, with the intention of crossing the river to capture Zhaozhou. How do you guys think we should deal with the enemy?" Wu Shu said while leaning on the soft couch.

"Well. Now, after several months of hard fighting, our Dajin Kingdom is still unable to stop the momentum of the Southern Dynasty's attack, and has lost a large number of elite soldiers. Only Xiangan Road, Huining Mansion, Shangjing Road and the eastern part of Zhaohui Road are left in the counties under our control. , the defense depth is greatly reduced, and the troops are extremely short." Wanyan Zongmin stood up and said.In fact, what the two of them said didn't have any substantive things, it was more an explanation of Wu Shu's words, and when they spoke, they were also respectful.I dare not go beyond the slightest, and I am not like a brother who has worked together for many years.In fact, this is also easy to understand, everyone saw what happened yesterday.Wushu is the biggest 'watermelon' in Jin Kingdom, he doesn't nod.God doesn't dare to rain, even the important ministers in the court don't like him anymore.It only needs to express an attitude to take it down and remove it from office.

In fact, this phenomenon has existed in all dynasties, and the reason for its formation is very simple, because at the beginning of the founding of each dynasties, they must go through a stage of "heroes governing the country", which is also inevitable when consolidating the new regime. The historical mission in the period of the rule of man.The power is in the hands of whether you can restrain yourself with ideals, morality, and national laws, and regulate your behavior, to a large extent depends on your own character and self-cultivation.

However, the two founding monarchs of the Jin Kingdom were both too old when they founded the country. They passed away after failing to complete the great cause, and handed over the unfinished business to a child, which put the country at a critical point of advancement or retreat. If it is not done well, it may go down, and this will inevitably lead to the phenomenon that powerful officials are in power.In a sense, the 20-year history of the founding of the Jin Kingdom was written by powerful officials.

The advantages of Wushu are undeniable. He was the most talented commander and statesman in the Kingdom of Jin after the death of Han Libu and Zong Han, and he also liked power. For this reason, he died successively with the help of the emperor and the support of the army. Zongqian, Zongqian and others.These people are all his brothers, and they once went to the battlefield together to fight for the Dajin Kingdom. It can't be said that they have no feelings, but they are also mercilessly removed. The only thing Wanyanquan can be thankful for is his fourth uncle. He only wants to be a minister of power, not an emperor, otherwise his throne would have changed hands long ago, and Wushu's methods have won the admiration of everyone in the government and the public.

"Well, you two are right. The enemy's two-way attack makes us fight on both sides. It is difficult to support each other, let alone concentrate our forces to wipe out one part of the enemy. Zhao Er's plan is very poisonous!" Wu Shu said.

"Grand Master, Zhao Er dared to divide his troops to attack in this way, but he relied on sharp firearms to open the way, but he also needed to consume more supplies, which is why he chose to start the war in spring and summer, which is the most unsuitable time for war. Use the convenient water network in Liaodong to transport supplies. Therefore, the officials thought that as long as we can persist until the cold weather in September, the enemy will have to retreat because they cannot transport supplementary supplies by water." Wanyan Zongmin said, I have to say that he is still very discerning Yes, we can see Song Jun's heavy reliance on logistics.

"Alubu, you are right, but the Song army is now in a state of invincibility, and our army can't compete with it. Even the strong fortified walls of Jiehao and Liaoyang can't stop their attack. What countermeasures do you have?" Wushu Diandian The first thing to say, but how to slow down the attack speed of the Song army is still a problem.

"The lower officials thought that we could not stop the enemy's attack because we needed to defend too many counties, which made the troops too scattered. There were more than [-] people, and the few were thousands. Although the Song army was divided into two groups, each group had tens of thousands of troops. There were many people, and there were many state troops to help in the battle, responsible for defending the newly harvested land, which led to our army's defeat in the first battle and suffered heavy losses." Wanyan Zongmin said.

"You mean that we can give up some small states and counties, concentrate our troops in dangerous places, and use our strength in strength to block the Song army's attack, so as to delay the time." Wu Shu thought for a while and said.

"This is exactly what the lower official said. Let's give up some states and counties, take away all the food and property, and incorporate the young and strong into the army, leaving only the old and weak, women and children. Zhao Er not only needs to deploy troops to defend, but also to make the offensive His strength was gradually weakened, and part of the food and salaries had to be allocated to help the people, which required a large amount of food and grass supply, making it difficult to supply, forcing him to stop frequently to wait for refills." Wanyan Zongmin said.

"Mu Lianghu, do you think what Alubu said is feasible?" Wu Shu looked at Wanyan Zongyong and said.

"Grand Master, what Alubu said is true, but if we abandon most of the states and counties without a fight, His Majesty will not blame you, but it will also affect the morale of the army and civilians, and lose a large number of people!" Wan Yanzong bravely said.

"The lower officials think that the plan of the Taibao is feasible. We can supplement the country's use by taking away food, grass and resources. Concentrating our forces in one place can form a joint force, and it can also increase the supply burden for the enemy army. Weakening its strength is killing two birds with one stone." Tang Kuo argued. However, he is very much in favor of this, although this kid is young and compared to everyone else, he is just a prince consort, but his status is not low. He was promoted to the governor of Huining.

"The lower officials think that we should not completely abandon all states and counties. Important military towns should be firmly defended, such as Zhaozhou and Huanglongfu. These are transportation hubs and large cities with convenient water and land transportation. Once the Song army captures them, they can serve as food for them. It is a transit place, so it must not be easily surrendered to the opponent." Wanyan Zongyong frowned and said, the people's hearts are already panicked, if they wait for the wind, it will be difficult to gather together, the surrender of Liaoyang's entire city will continue to be staged, he sees Wushu It seems that he is very interested in Alubu's suggestion, so he can only put forward his opinions in a tactful manner.

"Well, these big cities must not be given up easily, and heavy troops must be garrisoned in them to fight steadily." Wu Shu nodded slightly.

"Grand Master, we can also send troops to harass the enemy's marching brigade in places with complex terrain and dense trees, attack their trains, detour to places where the troops behind them are weak, and plunder counties and counties, making them restless and forced to return. Rescue the army." Wanyan Yuying also suggested that this is their Jurchen's housekeeping skills, and they gradually grew stronger and defeated the Liao army in those years.

"Okay, as long as we can drag the Song army until the cold winter, we can defeat Zhao Er, regain Liaodong, and then restore Yanyun." Wu Shu encouraged.

"Grand Master, if the West Route Army of the Song Army captures Zhaozhou, it will only take a few days to reach the city from the capital. The plan now is to defend Zhaozhou first." Heshi Lie Zhining said, I was talking lively but I only thought about how powerful Zhao Er was, forgetting about the great army under my nose.

"Zhaozhou is the place where Taizu defeated Liao Zhaoji Wangji. We must not lose it. Thinking back when Taizu was able to defeat the Liao army with 3000 troops and 30 people, since then all the Khitans have fled. What a hero! We must not humiliate In honor of Taizu’s prestige, we must block the Song army here so that they cannot get close to the capital.” Wu Shu said solemnly that the Battle of Zhaozhou more than [-] years ago can be called the Jurchen’s fight against the oppression of the Khitan people. The first shot is of great significance. It is no longer a matter of gain or loss for a city, but a major event related to the reputation of the Jurchens, so they can only win but not lose...
