Sticky Han nodded and smiled, and said, "I just received Marshal Du's order." As he spoke, he took out an official document from his sleeve and handed it to Liduo.

Liduo took it and swept his eyes, smiled faintly, handed the official document to Wushu, and said, "Shiro will come and see." ”

Wushu took it, saw the content of the official document, and said in a lost voice: "If you want to go out of Shaanxi, how can there be a big taboo for soldiers to divide troops in Huainan, don't marshals know?"

"Lord Lang made a decision after careful consideration, of course, Shilang went south to test the river defense of the Southern Dynasty, in just a few months, the Southern Dynasty has changed so much, not to mention, they moved south obviously hostile to Dajin, Zhang Shuye and Zong Ze also dared to secretly support the rebellious people in Hebei and Hedong. Therefore, Lord Lang decided to attack the Southern Dynasty again to show warning, and the specific direction was initially set in Shaanxi and Jianghuai, and which was more important was not decided for the time being, so you were discussed. ”

Although the Jurchen founding name is Jin, also known as the emperor sacrificing to the sky, the Jurchen noble chieftain is still the old name of the Lang lord in private, just like the Great Song Dynasty called the official family.

Wushu only then understood, he was about to transfer troops to suppress the rebellion in the Daimyo's area, and he was in a hurry to recruit him back to Yanshan, and he also understood the purpose of Wu Qimai and Xianye. He also agreed with the continuous offensive, and was able to lay down the six roads of Shaanxi, strategically forming an absolute suppression of the south, and the benefits to the Jurchens were self-evident, and they definitely made the Great Song Dynasty collapse.

However, under the intervention of Wang Xiu, history has already taken a big turn. Wang Xiu's resourcefulness, more than 100,000 elite soldiers under his command, made his confidence quite a hit, and he was already inclined to destroy the Song Dynasty too difficult, of course, he still had a strong enterprising spirit, thinking that the Jurchens still had the strength to destroy the Southern Dynasty.

"Of course, it's Shaanxi Sixth Road, which is the most important goal." As the right supervisor of the marshal's army, Wumur was of course inclined to attack Shaanxi, and he had always been in the Sticky Han Army and knew the importance of Shaanxi well.

"Not really." Tart lazily said disapprehantly: "The first two southern expeditions were due to improper division of troops and failed to achieve full success. If you want to go south again, you should concentrate heavy troops on the east road, use the west road to contain the western army, and the main force on the east road will directly take Jianghuai, chase after the southern dynasty, and take their small court, and those local guards will definitely surrender without a fight. ”

The discussion had just begun, and there was an obvious disagreement between the generals of the East and West Roads of the Marshal's Mansion, which was unexpected by the Wushu, but it was a real existence. As the right capital supervisor and one of the three commanders of the Eastern Road, in terms of pure military strategy, he naturally tended to march to Jianghuai with heavy troops, and took advantage of the unstable foothold of the Southern Dynasty to achieve the most obvious results.

The intention of the tart lazy is obvious, and the sticky Han, the Wuli Duo, the Wumur and Yelu Yu understand that according to the strategy of the tart lazy, the main force of the Jin army in the east of the river will be transferred to the east, and the soldiers and horses on the west road can only fight in the west of the capital for the Liduo, the tart lazy and the Wushu.

Since Mu Han Daixian was also in charge of military affairs, he could not openly support the generals of the Western Road. As the third person in the Jin Army on the Western Road, Yelu Yujian did not have many scruples, and he must resolutely implement the strategy of the Western Road and open the road to attack the remnants of the Liao Dynasty in order to protect himself. Therefore, he strongly advocated the strategy of attacking Shaanxi, and immediately said: "Shaanxi and the party are neighbors, and Yelu Dashi fled westward. ”

He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Lord Lang's meaning is very clear, the purpose of this battle is to punish, the Southern and Western armies are elite divisions, if you can't fight for a long time, won't it damage my great military might." We should understand the mind of Lord Lang, concentrate the main forces of the two roads to take Kaifeng with all our might, and then raise troops to force the Southern Dynasty to surrender completely. ”

Wushu pursed his lips and said with an embarrassed face: "This time I occupied the pontoon bridge, but seeing that the Southern Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, I'm afraid it won't be easy to fight." ”

Sticky Han was slightly surprised, Wushu was the backbone of the Eastern Road and the strongest general, and his tone didn't seem to support the pursuit. At the same time, he thought that the attitude of Wushu was conducive to the westward strategy of Shaanxi that he had conceived, and hit the railway while it was hot: "At the beginning, I agreed with the party to attack the Southern Dynasty, but the party was ambiguous. ”

"The elite of the Southern Dynasty is all in the six roads of Shaanxi, and the southeast is not enough, so it is advisable to do Shaanxi first, and slightly determine the six roads, which is weak and the party is weak, forcing them to supply war horses, and then they will go south."

Tart Lazy was very dissatisfied with the sticky attitude, which invisibly weakened his strength, and said dissatisfiedly: "Look at the meaning of Lord Lang and Marshal Du, this battle is to warn the Southern Dynasty not to conspire with me, as long as the troops are on the Huai Shang and force the Southern Dynasty to submit, there is no need to have a hard encounter with the Western Army at all." What's more, the party is secretly at peace with me, there are mobs rebelling in Lianghe, and there are still people in the internal Khitan and other departments who are ready to move, how can my main force enter the Sixth Road in Shaanxi?"

Speaking of the Khitan people who are unwilling to be ruled by the Jurchens, there are still signs of recovering the country, Yelu Yu is embarrassed to see that he is a Khitan nobleman, although he is a high-ranking official in the Jurchens, and has become one of the highest-level commanders of the Jin army.

However, over the years, the higher the official promotion, the more unstable he became, after all, he was a Khitan, and the Song court also secretly wooed him back then, promising to restore the country. It's not that he is not impressed, but he thinks that the Khitan trend has gone, and it is useless to make small moves in secret.

This incident directly led to the second southern expedition of the Jurchens, and he fought bravely in the southern expedition in order to wash away the influence, which got rid of Wu Qimai's suspicion, but unfortunately he was lazy and did not trust him very much, and made a lot of nonsense about the Khitan matter, which made him secretly hate.

Sticky Han glanced at the tart lazy with dissatisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "The Khitan people, there are still many junjie who are loyal to Dajin. The population of our tribe is too small, and the number of troops is insufficient, and it is impossible to march on both sides at the same time, so we must choose a key point. ”

As the de facto supreme commander of the Jin Army's front, he defined the focus of the battle from the perspective of the interests of the Jurchens, not only ordering laziness, but also warning the generals not to be selfish and mislead national affairs.

Liduo smiled coldly and said: "It is true that there are few people in our clan, but the party and Yelu Dashi collude and intend to the counties in Hedong, once something happens, our army will be difficult to take care of." It is better to use Shaanxi as a buffer for the time being, transfer some soldiers and horses from Hedong to the east, support Jianghuai for the east road, and monitor the dynamics of the party. I led my troops to bypass Kaifeng, and went southward to the east, how can the mess of the Southern Dynasty be the opponent of my Jurchen warriors, and it will be a great success in less than two months, and once the Southern Dynasty is honest, Shaanxi will not be able to make trouble. ”

Wu Mu said disapprerovingly: "There are many water networks in the south, which is not conducive to the gallop of the horse army, and many of the main forces of their western army have moved eastward, and it is really unpredictable whether they will win or lose in the south. It is better to take the opportunity to enter Shaanxi in the west and take the sixth road, eliminate the flank threat, and go north to attack Yelu Dashi to force the party to submit. ”
