What he wants is to achieve the grand cause steadily and step by step, and to carry out one goal at a time, and by no means to fully blossom and advance lightly against the enemy. Going north, it is likely that the situation will be uncontrollable, and the Great Song Dynasty and the Jurchens will enter a decisive battle, prematurely overdraft the national strength, and lead the complete collapse of the economy, so many years of hard work will come to naught.

Just like his choice back then, if he can completely solve the problem, why should he wait until now, as early as more than ten years ago, he planned to unite the Khitans, although it is very difficult, it is almost impossible to be the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and the declining Khitans, but there will be a glimmer of hope.

The reason why he did it was because he saw the value of sacrifice, the Khitans were no longer able to stop the Jurchen hurricane, and neither could the Great Song Dynasty, if it was broken, it would not be established, and it would not develop, only if it was broken, it would be possible to get new development, so he witnessed the strife in the world, the people were devastated, and even the people around him were sacrificed.

The big thing has been done halfway, and the ship has reached the middle of the stream, and those who should be patient should also be patient, how can they let the accident occur and spoil the good situation.

Zhang Qiyuan's wolf ambition is crazy to the extreme, can't he see the wisdom of the Wushu and even the Jurchen? Perhaps, they saw the destruction of the country by Xia and the threat of the Great Song Dynasty to the Jurchens, and the lesser of two evils.

"Wenshi, what do you think?" Cai Yi turned his face to ask Wang Xiu, the final decision-making power is still in Wang Xiu's hands, there is no doubt about it.

"What I'm thinking about is, even if it's a fight, can we control the war and not break out into a full-scale confrontation?" Wang Xiu's gaze fell on Wang Yuan, and his gaze was full of inquiry.

Wang Yuan didn't understand what was going on, it was obviously embarrassing, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Once the war starts, how to control it, it will not end, if we can rush over, people will definitely take it back." ”

Wang Xiu didn't have the luxury of expecting Wang Yuan to solve it, he made a decision with a little groaning, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately prepare the two armies stationed in Jingdong and Jingxi, and quickly put them into Shaanxi." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and now it is to guard against the possible provocation of the Jin army, how can they still send troops and horses to the west, and they are simply looking for trouble? In case the defense system is weakened, it is likely that it will not be able to stop the possible attack of the Jin army.

Silent reaction is the fastest, Wang Xiu is by no means a person who has nothing to do, weakening the defense force along the river, it will never be a temporary intention, I am afraid that there will be a deep meaning.

Zhang Bangchang's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Wen, Wenshi, the army is transferred, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that it will not be able to prevent the captives, and it will have to be considered." ”

Wang Xiu glanced at Zhang Bangchang, and sighed a little in his heart, this prime minister is not a wicked person, the bad is too soft-boned, he patiently explained: "The main force of the captives is transferred to the west, and obviously they don't want to make big moves, the two armies are invested in Shaanxi, and the soldiers and horses left behind are also enough to deter, they dare not launch a southern invasion." ”

Wang Yuan was not very willing, the thousand-mile front to save twelve armies can only be said to be enough, and the township army needs to be issued combat readiness in wartime. It is true that the transfer of two armies to the west will inevitably lead to a shortage of defensive forces, and it is certainly possible to make up for it by using the native soldiers of the township army, but it is quite expensive to sacrifice most of the mobility and to defend the town with twice as many native soldiers of the township army.

Besides, the conquest of the party is a broken matter of the Western Servant Army, and it is okay to invest in four or five armies of the Northern Servant Army, and if you can see the achievements of the Northern Servant Army, what can the two armies do? It's just a fight for others, not what he wants.

"The defense along the river is already tight, and I am afraid that something will happen when I am deploying troops and horses." He could only refuse to draw troops and horses on the grounds of defense.

"Didn't the captives also send troops north?" Wang Xiu asked rhetorically.

"However, they still have tens of thousands of horse-drawn troops eyeing them, and even if we assume that they will not go to war lightly, we cannot act rashly." Wang Yuan did not hesitate to contradict Wang Xiu, to put it bluntly, he also protected his own interests.

"Transferring troops is a must, and I also have to go to the front line in Shaanxi after Zhang Tonggu leaves, and it depends on you." Wang Xiu is categorical, there is no room for negotiation, jokes, tens of thousands of Jin army cavalry can deter more than 100,000 Great Song Dynasty forbidden troops, this time he is going to break it, look at the general trend, whether the Wushu dare to rashly form a shì.

Cai Yi was stunned for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "Wenshi, the war in the northwest has not yet reached that point, and the affairs along the river are inseparable from you." ”

"It's not necessary to leave without anyone, for the sake of everyone here, isn't it the same as usual to leave anyone?" Wang Xiu glanced at everyone present, and said with a faint smile: "It's not so strict, they are not fools, it is difficult to control the situation if you start a war rashly, and ten armies are enough to form a deterrent." Shaanxi is joining the two living armies, and the attempt to capture people is also a deterrent, if you dare to directly help the party members, I will be able to fight with you in the northwest. ”

Northwest? Wang Yuan seemed to remember something and looked at Wang Xiu in surprise.

"I don't know which two armies to transfer?" Zhang added that there are differences between military divisions, and no matter the tasks and establishments, they cannot be simply generalized.

Wang Xiu groaned a little and said: "The Xuanwu Army and the Xuanyi Army, in addition, will transfer 3,000 archers from the township army, and then draw 1,000 elite cavalry who will not join the team." ”

Wang Yuan's face suddenly became even more unsightly, the archers of the three thousand township army are easy to say, the Xuanwu army and the Xuanyi army are the main forces of the Northern Servant Army, and the wartime establishment scale is above 15,000 people, and the transfer of more than 30,000 people from the two armies has a great impact on the defense along the river.

Although there is no horse army that has transferred the northern army, there are only two horse army divisions in the northern army, and the scale of the establishment is not large.

"There are not many five-way horse troops, and the effect of not joining the team is two or three thousand, and one thousand people will be transferred at once, I'm afraid."

"What's wrong, you don't have a war horse along the river, it's better to pull down the west of the river and go directly to the horse to fight."

However, he said that where Wushu changed his strategy, he was also worried, the Jin army mobilized more soldiers and horses than the Song army, and the horse army reached 30,000.

The entire Jin army going south only had 60,000 horses, and half of the men and horses had been transferred, even if there were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, the strength had been reduced very much. In case the Song army makes a decisive counterattack and suddenly attacks on the entire front, I am afraid that the Jin army will not be able to stop it.

After all, the Song army also has two armies, a thousand horse army, and a bed crossbow, a divine arm bow and other divine weapons.

"Lang Jun don't worry, Wang Wenshi is a cautious person, he will never rush north." Zhang Qiyuan looked anxious when he saw Wushu, and knew that he was afraid that Wang Xiu would go north, so he naturally comforted him.

"No matter how cautious a person is, he cannot withstand the temptation in the face of great benefits. At the moment, Wang Wenshi didn't rush north and was beaten by me. "Wushu has a playful face, no one knows better than him, how long people can hold out under the temptation of huge territory.
