Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 469
Of course, he laughed off the bullshit official talk, but he still admired Li Changsheng for knowing how to hide his scheming and using righteousness as a cover. A person who knows how to protect himself before achieving his goal is a truly mature person.Anyone who does anything has his own purpose, and the key to success lies in knowing how to conceal it.

Obviously, Li Changsheng's grade is not very old, but he deeply rhymes with this way, which makes him very satisfied.

The conversation between them ended here, and Wang Xiu only explained one sentence. "Thousands of miles of seas and territories are unpredictable, and they are more terrifying than Shilin's criticism, so be careful!"

Not long after Li Changsheng left, Qin Min quietly came to Wang Xiu's study, and quietly left the house not long after.

According to the terms of the North-South Peace Agreement, with Dahe as the nominal boundary, Hebei Dong, Xier, Henan, Beilu, and Silu were assigned to Jin Guo, but Fuzhou Road, which belongs to Hebei Road, was fortunately not delineated because it was in Hexi. .

Unexpectedly, Wang Xiu also used the excuse that Kaifeng was the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and the northeast could not be without barriers. He wanted to bring back the Daming Mansion in Beijing, but was strongly opposed by the Jurchens, including Wushu.

Moreover, the Hezhong Mansion in the north of the Yellow River belongs to the Yongxing Army, and it has become a gossip again. Wang Xiu did not give in at all, and was determined not to cede it.

Under the leadership of the hero Shao Xing, the people in Hezhong guarded the various passes. The Jin army was in a hurry and could not enter, and the Sixth Road of Shaanxi was ready to fight.That was no joke, the Hezhong Mansion was inherently dangerous, once the Western Army entered, even if it was captured by the Jin Army, it would have suffered heavy casualties.

The Jurchen had just gotten a big deal, and they didn't want to go south again. The remnants of the Khitan were making trouble in the west, and the party members were also ambiguous. In order to transfer troops to deal with the remnants of the Liao Dynasty in the northwest, they had to back down again, but the Daming Mansion was determined not to speak out.A joke, the Daming Mansion controls Jingdong [-]nd Road. Since the fifth season, it has been going south to seize the important places in the Central Plains. It is in the hands of the Jurchen. It can divide Jingdong at any time and pose a great threat to Kaifeng; if Song wants to go back, it will become Jingdong's barrier can be attacked or defended by the Song army.

For this reason, the Jin army was mobilized again to make Yanhe tense again. Wang Yuan and Gao Ping led troops to garrison the three prefectures of Wei, Jun, and Hua, and Han Shizhong stationed troops in Kaide Mansion.

Wang Yuan was quite talented, and when he took office, he strengthened the defense of Anyang city in the county, built six pass forts outside the city, and set up the Anyang North Camp.

Winter of the First Year of Jianyan in Dazhong

Wang Yuan was looking at the defense map of the two armies. The two armies made a few small-scale tests, and both sides went to the end. There was no major conflict, but they should not be careless.

However, in the past few days, the frequent mobilization of the Jin army made Wang Yuan extremely uneasy, and he had a faint sense of foreboding.

"Taiwei." A young man of medium height, with a three-strand beard and imposing manner entered the hall.

"It's Peng Ju!" Wang Yuan turned around, his eyes sparkling, and a deep smile was wiped across his face.

The person who came was Yue Fei, who was a little famous in the Hebei army. Perhaps history has changed. In history, Yue Fei was dismissed from his post because of his letter and went to Zhang.

Just a few months ago, Wang Xiu suddenly suggested to strengthen Junzhou's defense as an excuse to transfer Bingyilang Yuefei and other generals to lead the army to Xiangzhou.

Yue Fei stopped, looked at the defense map of the two armies, frowned and said: "There is no movement in the camps of the captives in the north. They are just looking for horses to report back to the direction of Cizhou, but there are a few horse infantry coming. We will see more than [-] people."

"The minds of the princes of the two mansions are really broken. It is really unwise to start an all-out war for a mere Daming Mansion. According to the envoy sent by the rebel Gao Sheng, it is a normal change of defense. How about cheating ghosts?" Wang Yuan was very depressed, he had a strategy General, Da Song can't stand the trouble.

Yue Fei frowned, his eyes sparkled eagerly, and he said decisively: "Whatever he does, the soldiers come to block, the flood suddenly floods, there are tens of thousands of troops along the river, are you afraid that they will fail?"

Wang Yuan looked at Yue Fei with dissatisfaction, laughed dryly, and said: "Mr. Wang Xiang presided over the peace talks and competed for the Daming Mansion. I really don't know what he thinks. He was supposed to get a good respite, so what kind of wind is he?"

"Whatever he thinks, the captives are cunning and don't keep the covenant. Autumn and winter are the best time to use troops, and the Taiwei must be on guard." Yue Fei seemed to dismiss Wang Xiu, but the Jin army was powerful after all, and his tone was still Somewhat worried, he said in a deep voice: "Now the capital's barrier is entirely up to the Taiwei. To be on the safe side, whether or not to submit a letter to the court should be prepared, just in case."

Wang Yuan pondered for a while, nodded his head and said: "What Pengju said is very true, it should be reported to the court, and the ministers of the two houses should make a decision. However, we need to observe the military situation for a few more days and see what happens."

A flash of contempt flashed in Yue Fei's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The general thought that if the captives intend to go south, they will exert pressure on the mouth of the Junzhou River in order to gain fame. Of course, it is hard to say that a large-scale southward march is also hard to say. To be on the safe side, too The lieutenant should quickly report to the imperial court and send more troops to Jingdong."

Wang Yuan was startled, and understood Yue Fei's meaning. According to the military system of the imperial court, once the border area found frequent movements of enemy troops, the guards should immediately report to the Privy Council.However, he was in a dilemma. Judging from the size of the Jin army, the size of the Jin army stationed in Cizhou was simply unable to launch a large-scale attack on Kaifeng. After all, there were more than [-] troops stationed in Gyeonggi.

If the Jin people decided to go south again, they must increase troops on the southeast road of the river, and the east and west roads of the hebei province. They thought that it would be best to make a feint to attract the attention of the western song army in Beijing and Tokyo, and then use the main force to go straight to Kaifeng. This is a taboo for military strategists.

Perhaps, what Yue Fei said was right, he was originally famous.

"The captives have not made any movement along the river, so it is unlikely that they will make a large-scale invasion. They are good at fighting in the field, and our army is good at defending. There are only tens of thousands of them. Even if Peng Ju's prediction is good, the court may not believe it. "

Yue Fei knew Wang Yuan's concerns. As a general, he would panic if there was a turmoil, and he would write a letter to prepare for it. If the Jin army was only for changing defense or intimidating, then Wang Yuan's face and reputation would be lost!
He thought for a while, and said tactfully: "The Taiwei's words are right. The people in Hebei rose up one after another. Wang Yan even occupied Taihang Mountain and gathered a crowd of millions. If the captives go south, they must have concerns. Maybe it's a change of defense."

What Yue Fei said made Wang Yuan feel a little chilled, vacillating from side to side, hesitantly said: "Let the commander think twice, pass down the order, and all the troops are on alert in case of accidents."

While they were talking, a police officer reported that outside the Anyang Beida Camp, there was a large number of cavalry from the Jin army, almost all of them were Jurchen meng'anmouke army.

"Taiwei." Yue Fei's eyes were particularly stern, but his whole body was full of fighting spirit.

Wang Yuan frowned, his eyes sparkled, and he said loudly: "Pengju, hurry back to the northern camp to monitor the movements of the captives, and fight cheaply."
