Chapter 996: Song Envoy Asks for Help
Ah Guta's words also attracted the echo of the other generals: "Yes, Fourth Prince, Song Guo is very far away from us, even if you use fast horses to run, it will take many months." And I heard that there is a turbulent river in the middle to block the way, and the Liao State has not been able to defeat the Song State for a hundred years, so how can we attack the Song Dynasty again? ”
"What's more, the Song State still has a cooperative relationship with us, they don't have a generational hatred with us like the Liao people, and I am afraid that even the warriors below may not be willing to agree to send troops to attack the Song State."
Facing these generals who were already satisfied with the current victory and harvest, a trace of disdain flashed in Wanyan Wushu's eyes, but his tone was still warm: "Then have you ever thought about it, the wealth of the Song State is dozens or hundreds of times that of the Liao State, as long as we can enter the Song Kingdom, we can let each of our clansmen harvest a lot of food and wealth, such treasures, there are countless hidden in every big city of the Song Kingdom, isn't this enough to stimulate the heart of our Jurchen warriors?"
"As for the so-called alliance, everything is just on the basis of the survival of the Liao State. But now, the Liao State is close to extinction, so the so-called alliance between us and the Song people will come to an end, and the use of troops against them will naturally be justified and there will be no problem. ”
After saying these few words, it really made everyone difficult to refute, even Ah Guda couldn't help but be interested, and his slender eyes revealed a greedy light. Wushu knew his father the best, and said loudly at the moment: "As for how difficult it will be to attack the Song Dynasty in the south that you are worried about, you don't have to take it to heart. For a hundred years, how much combat power could the Song State, which the Liao people could easily suppress? I've also heard that until a few days ago, they were still confronting the Liao army south of Xijin Mansion, but we have swept through most of the Liao country, breaking through many of their capitals, and compared to us, the Song army's combat power is too weak. Therefore, as long as we have the heart and the soldiers go south, we will definitely be able to conquer the entire Song Kingdom, and the wealth, population, and land there will become the property of my Jurchen tribe, and our people will no longer have to starve to death and freeze to death due to various natural disasters! ”
After saying some impassioned words, Wanyan Wushu's cheeks turned red, and his eyes were even more delicate: "Father, generals, can we only be satisfied with this little benefit, and not win more abundant wealth?" ”
This time, Ah Guda was really moved: "If it is really as you said, then attacking Song is indeed the best choice." If our Jin country wants to really rise, we still need more rich people! ”
"Father is wise!" Wushu hurriedly bowed down and praised him, and then said: "But if we want to attack the Song State without any worries, the next thing we have to do is to stabilize the rear, that is, the current Liao Kingdom. Father, in my opinion, our warriors can't kill the people of Liao as indiscriminately as before to vent their anger, we should use their grace and power, let them fear, and let them respect, so as to become the guarantee of our rear and the people of my Dajin! ”
After going around in such a big circle, Wushu finally said what he most desperately wanted Ah Guda to correct at the moment. Because in his opinion, it is easy to break a city and it is difficult to collect a city, it is easy to swallow a country to break a country, and it is impossible to really control the Liao State in the hands of the Jurchens by killing alone.
Ah Guda had also seen his son's intentions at this time, and his narrow eyes flashed again, so he smiled and said: "Since you have considered the whole thing, then do it according to your own wishes." However, after all, the matter of attacking Song is important, and we still need more opportunities to send troops, and the Song Kingdom is too far away after all. ”
"Yes." The Wushu was not too disappointed by this, only hugged his fist again, and then turned and left the apse. Some things can't be rushed, but when the time comes, they will come naturally.
However, the opportunity he was waiting for was automatically sent to the door a few days later, and the appearance of a Song envoy finally made Akuda and the other Jin people begin to consider the feasibility of attacking the Song Dynasty in the south.
Wu Yong, who was in the dust, stood in the hall, looking at the tall man lying lazily on the throne that should have belonged to Emperor Liao, and unconsciously gave birth to a little jealousy and panic. Although this guy is only half-lying like this, he still feels like a tiger that chooses people to devour, and his narrow eyes look more like a tiger looking at the prey in front of him.
"Wu Yong, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, has met the Emperor of Jin." But even so, he still suppressed the throbbing in his heart, only bent down and arched his hands, and came to see Ah Guda in a tough gesture.
Ah Guda coughed lowly before he smiled: "Song envoy doesn't have to be polite. Are you here today to fulfill your promise on behalf of Song Guolai? I wonder where the grain and cloth you promised us are now? ”
Under the explanation of Jin Guotong's translation beside him, Wu Yong understood the other party's words, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Emperor Jin, please don't worry, my Great Song Dynasty is rich all over the world, since I have promised you that you will be paid, it is naturally impossible to regret it." However, the envoy came today not for this reason, but to hope that your Jin State can continue to use troops against the south and go to defeat Youzhou, that is, the Nanjing Xijin Mansion of the Liao State. ”
"Oh? This is a little strange, if I remember correctly, I Dajin and your Song State had an agreement before, both sides raised troops at the same time, the north and south of Liao, and my Dajin took the other four capitals, leaving only Nanjing and your Song Kingdom. Because as far as you say, that city belongs to you, and the surrounding area, which is called the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, is also your land. Why, why did you suddenly change your mind today? ”
"In my opinion, it should be that you Song people are not good at fighting and can't defeat Nanjing City, so you want to ask our Dajin for help at this time, right?" Someone on the side immediately spoke sarcastically. Compared with Song Liao's strict hierarchical etiquette, today's Jin Kingdom is too much more casual, even in such formal occasions, when a courtier can interrupt the king's speech at any time, Ah Guda does not see the slightest unhappiness.
Not only was he not surprised, but he also smiled appreciatively at the courtier, and then looked at Wu Yong: "Song envoy, are we right?" ”
"This ......" Wu twitched the muscles on his face suddenly, and then said softly: "Things are not as you said, my Great Song soldiers are brave, and it is naturally not difficult to take Youzhou." It's just that the Liao people resisted desperately, and even threatened the lives of the people in the city, and our lord passed on to Yiren, so it was difficult to break the city for a while. But if you have your golden soldiers behind to help attack the city, it will be difficult to defend Youzhou, so my boy will have this invitation.
"However, we are not letting your army contribute in vain, as long as we can defeat Youzhou, we can exchange money and food, and we can add another fifty percent to the number promised to you before. How is it? ”
The more he explained like this, the more these golden people felt that he was lying in his heart, and everyone showed mockery, while Ah Guda suddenly sat upright, slapped his big hand on the dragon case, and said loudly: "Fifty percent? It's too little, I'm going to double it, not only the money and food, but all the benefits you promised us before. ”
"This ...... OK! Wu Yong immediately gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Also, once we capture Youzhou, all the wealth of the population in the city belongs to our Jin country, and you Song people are not allowed to fight for it." Seeing that he agreed happily, the Wushu on the side put forward an even more harsh condition.
This time, Wu Yong's face became even more ugly, but after a moment of hesitation, he still nodded with difficulty: "It's okay, but you must not destroy other things in the city......
"Haha, you Song people are really generous, since there is only an empty city, my Dajin is naturally willing to help. In this way, you write down the covenant, leave a note, and then let people prepare money, food and wealth, just in Nanjing, no, you should call Youzhou, and wait outside Youzhou to see my army break the city. But remember, if you want to enter the city, you must first fulfill your previous promise, and if you don't have money and food in place, then we won't open the city to let you in. Ah Guda laughed again and made the final decision.
Wu Yong's face changed again, and finally nodded in response: "Everything is as Emperor Jin said, we will prepare everything properly." ”
After letting Wu Yong retreat, everyone in the palace laughed proudly again. Then, Ah Gu Dacai sighed: "When you talked about the weakness of the Song people before, I still had some questions. But now it seems that the Song army is indeed useless to the extreme, a Nanjing actually let them fight until today, to replace my Dajin warriors to attack the city, it will not take ten days, then the city will have been attacked and broken! ”
What is even more ridiculous is that at this time they still want to take care of their own face, and they have to find some reason to say that it is because of mercy that it is not easy to attack the city. It is clear that their soldiers and horses are all waste, and from this point of view, the Song army is indeed vulnerable, and it cannot be compared with my Dajin elite at all. ”
The hall was immediately filled with contemptuous remarks against the Song people, and as they said this, Aguta had already made a quick decision: "This time, I will not only lead everyone to defeat the city of Nanjing, but also take the opportunity to continue south, and bring down the more prosperous southern Song kingdom, rob them of their wealth and population, and make everything there become my Dajin's territory." Warriors, do you have faith? ”
"Yes! Yes! Yes! ”
"Conquer Nanjing, annex the Song Kingdom, and make our Jurchen clan the most powerful existence in the world!"
The generals in the palace had been ignited by his words, and they all replied loudly, and the roar almost lifted off the roof of the imperial palace.
But in this burst of shouts, only Wanyan Wushu, who was the first to propose the attack on the Song Dynasty, was silent, as if he was thinking about an extremely important issue. After a while, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Father, there may be fraud in this matter!" ”
