In view of the increasingly bad situation in Hexi, the top level of the Jurchen noble chieftains also had disagreements, and a large number of elites of their own ethnic groups stayed for a long time, which was obviously not conducive to the domestic balance.

Wushu will never agree, don't say that abandoning the important land in Hexi is to migrate people, it is simply a joke, and you have to face natural disasters along the way**, how many people can survive? I am afraid that the guards and horses will also be lost.

He and Zhang Qiyuan returned to Shangjing and immediately went to see Hela, indicating that they must not give up Hexi, and the Jin army still has the strength to fight.

Zhang Qiyuan, as a representative of Wushu, said very clearly: "Even if the Southern Dynasties have an advantage, it is also a relative advantage by chance, Dajin has not completely lost the initiative, Suzhou, Guazhou, and Wurahai City are the key." ”

"As long as you keep Wurahai City, you can establish a road into Hexi, so that the living girl can hold Suzhou, and holding Suzhou is equivalent to laying a nail, not only dividing the war horse resources, but also waiting for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow to Liangzhou."

"If you want to stabilize Wurahai City, you must quickly deal with the beggars and Kereh people in the grassland, and stabilizing them is equivalent to cutting off an arm of the Southern Dynasty. As I once said, the grassland is an important part of Wang Wenshi's strategy, and as long as Dajin conquers the grassland, even if the south invades the north, the momentum will be greatly reduced. ”

"Ali and Wulie are stationed in the grasslands and sweep all the departments every year, which can completely hit them hard, and they can't become my big Phnom Penh trouble......

He obviously disagreed, and retorted: "The Southern Dynasty has already controlled the overall situation in Henan, even if there is Wurahai City, it is not enough to contain them, and Liangzhou in Hexi is weak, so it is difficult for us to give strong reinforcements, and we have to guard against the attacks of the Qiyan and Kereh." ”

"40,000 elites hang alone in Hexi, which has a deep impact on the overall situation, and the Southern Dynasty uses Ganzhou as a barrier, and it is difficult for a living woman to pose a threat to the horse farm. The conquest of Qiyan and Kelie is not something that can be completed overnight, the grassland barbarians have no fixed place, it is difficult to capture their main force, and they are afraid that the consumption of repeated troops will be too great, and the gains will outweigh the losses in the end, so Suzhou chicken ribs are dispensable. ”

Wushu was very dissatisfied, what kind of words were this, it clearly had the taste of ridiculing Zhang Qiyuan, and it was equivalent to saying that he was not using people properly.

It is true that most of the failures of Dajin's western strategy are not Zhang Qiyuan's fault in his eyes, but a series of accidental factors. From the infighting of the party members to the unexpected victory of several decisive battles in the Great Song Dynasty, and finally Gao Sheng's miscalculation of the shape shì, and the defeat of the Jin army, it played a chain adverse reaction.

The most important thing is that Wang Xiu's strategy is interlocking, the gathering of famous generals of the Great Song Dynasty, and the resolute counterattack of Feng Yuan, a cutting-edge newcomer, all caused the rout of the Jin army.

Now, the opportunity has not been completely lost, Wurahai City is still in hand, and it can support Suzhou, and the Jin army can completely contain the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty.

As for the barbarian tribes on the grassland, he admitted that their strong will was indeed a force that had to be conquered, and Ali led 20,000 soldiers and horses to sweep through, which showed that the other party was not really strong and could be completely suppressed.

The conservative policy of the Jin army could only make the Jin army abandon the west and allow the Great Song Dynasty to develop calmly, which was a long-term danger to the Jurchens.

Do you think that one day the 100,000 elite horsemen of the Great Song Dynasty suddenly appear in front of the Jin army, what will be the result?

Zhang Qiyuan was still unconvinced, and said loudly: "Lord Lang, Henan and Hexi are bound to fight, and they must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Southern Dynasty." ”

He also understands the importance, the reason why the Jurchens are strong is nothing more than the sharpness of the horse army, if he is really caught up by the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that his fate does not have to be good for Li Renxiao.

After thinking about it left and right, he was still a little inclined to vultures, and asked hesitantly, "What does Marshal Du mean?" ”

Wushu shook his head, and said with a straight face: "Lord Lang, Wang Wenshi of the Southern Dynasty has a lot of ambitions, and he doesn't want to go north all the time, Hexi and Henan are heavily related, and the Southern Dynasty must not be allowed to govern calmly. ”

"Compared with the 40,000 elites, Hexi is more important, and it is necessary to keep it at any cost, waiting for the opportunity to recapture Ganzhou."

"However, the situation is absolutely unacceptable." Seeing that the vultures were iron-hearted, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and the main force of the Jin army was almost exhausted, not to mention Hedong, Hebei, even the Bohai noble chieftains were also ready to move, and they had other ideas, and the Koreans were infiltrated by the Great Song Dynasty, and I am afraid that they would soon have a lot of waves.

It can be said that he is not opposed to the use of troops in Hexi, and even thinks that he cannot give up lightly. However, he also looked at the overall situation, no matter how important Hexi was, it could not compare to Beijing and Tokyo, and the old nest of the Jurchens could not be messed up.

"It is precisely because of the instability in the east of Daikin that we should strive for stability in the west, and in comparison, the western flank is a hundred times more important than the east." Zhang Qiyuan retorted unceremoniously, although he didn't want to offend Benben, he had to choose to take sides.

People have different positions, and they look at problems from different angles, and they are very unhappy about Zhang Qiyuan's unceremonious refutation, and said in a deep voice: "Stabilizing the Bohai Sea, Huairou Goryeo is a national policy, the grassland can be conquered slowly, even if the Southern Dynasty gets Hexi, what can it be?" Ma Jun, even if they have 100,000 Ma Jun, what can they do? Can their wealth sustain a perennial war? The Sui and Tang dynasties did not completely conquer the north, let alone the Southern Dynasties. ”

Zhang Qiyuan naturally understood that the Han and Tang dynasties maintained a huge horse army, which was majestic in the world, but the Han Dynasty was weak in war for many years and had to recuperate.

According to the Danqing history books, the Han dynasty repeatedly defeated the north, but never achieved a long-term rule, and the British lords of the Sui and Tang dynasties rushed forward and embraced, and finally destroyed Goguryeo, and finally it was a cheap Khitan.

Wushu smiled coldly and said: "Wang Wenshi is not very human, the national strength of the Southern Dynasty is growing, even after two years of war, there is no difficulty in supporting it. ”

"Not only that, but if you give him a few more years, I'm afraid it won't be impossible to support 100,000 horse troops to fight." Zhang Qiyuan followed the words of the vulture, and completely stood on the opposite side of the book, he didn't quite believe that the Great Song Dynasty could completely defeat the north, but there was a faint sense of fear, Wang Xiu definitely had the ambition to conquer the north, whether to conquer or not to defeat.

"Could it be that the bachelor is going north, and there is still something to be said?" He glanced at Zhang Qiyuan and smiled quite gently.

Hera's eyelids jumped, a trace of doubt flashed in the corner of his eye, and his gaze turned to Zhang Qiyuan.

Zhang Qiyuan's face turned white all of a sudden.

Wang Xiu returned to Xingzai and was greeted ceremoniously, and the important ministers of the two prefectures greeted him at the riverside port, which naturally had a lively scene, and the fly in the ointment was that the reckless was thrown into the water.

Going upstream, it takes two days and one night to get to Guazhou, that is, last night, the Gang family ended his young life in the surging river, he did not organize a timely rescue, but delayed for half an hour, leaving a few boats to find.
