Chapter 330: The Jin Army Moves

The matter of Goryeo made the fourth prince Wanyan Zongbi, who was in charge of the expedition to Goryeo, very annoyed, but he didn't know what His Majesty the Emperor meant and what agreement he signed with the Han State.

Destroy the Song Dynasty, after the Han and Jin Dynasty signed the alliance again, the whole Jin country knew that the next step was to destroy the Song Dynasty with all their might, but when to destroy the Song Dynasty, the court and China were arguing.

The Taizu family led by Wanyan Zongbi wanted to send troops to destroy the Song State as soon as possible, but the emperor Wanyan Wu begged to buy it and pushed it back in every possible way, of course, this push was supported by Wanyan Xianye.

The last time the army went south to the west was completely annihilated, which made Wan Yan Xian also have a certain shadow in his heart, he was not willing to fight again, this time he must be fully prepared before going south.

Wan Yan Xian was still afraid of the Han army, especially after hearing that the Han Navy Division took Tamluo Island without blood, he realized what the Navy meant in the war of aggression against the Song Dynasty, and if he wanted to destroy the Song Dynasty, the Navy Division was indispensable.

Wanyan Zongqi, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zonghan, etc. are all first-class five good generals, and they can all be in charge of themselves, this is the most powerful place in the Jin Kingdom, and it is also the reason why it was able to sweep the Great Liao and destroy the Northern Song Dynasty. However, why did the Southern Song Dynasty not be destroyed in the end to unify the world, there were three important willingness, one was that the Southern Song Dynasty military and people swore to resist to the death, and the other was the internal strife in Jin, and the civil strife continued, of course, the most important reason was the lack of a strategist like Wanyan Xianye in the later period, and he could not use a strategic vision to coordinate the overall situation.

Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai of the Jin State was also a strategist, but he also died early, which made the strategic deployment of the late Jin State worse and worse, and finally lost the qualification to dominate the world.

In this era, due to the butterfly effect of Liu Zhenglong, a later generation, the course of history was changed, and the situation of the Three Kingdoms was finally formed. If you want to break the situation, you can't blindly send troops, which is why the emperor of the Jin State Wanyan Wu Qimai is willing to accept the conditions offered by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, which is why the Jin State did not rashly invade the Song Dynasty.

In the second year of Shenlong, on the fifteenth day of the first month, Huining Mansion, in the Dajin Palace.

In the room, only Wanyan Wu Qimai, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and Wanyan Xian, because the two had the most important things to discuss, they did not let others participate, except for Han Lie in the back hall, of course, because as long as Wanyan Wu Qimai had a secret conversation with someone, Han Lie would be allowed to listen in the back, so as to help him not make mistakes when doing analysis.

Wan Yan Xian also said: "Your Majesty, the Han Army's naval division took Tamluo Island with lightning speed, fully demonstrating the strength of the naval division, if we want to take the Song Kingdom, we must have the Houshui Division, land from the coastline, and copy the back road of the Song army, so as to destroy it in one fell swoop." ”

"Walk the coastline and rely on the navy to fight?"

Obviously, Wanyan Wu has not yet understood Wanyan Xianye's intentions, in other words, he has not yet realized the importance of the water army.

"Yes, our Jin country lacks wealth to support, and it is difficult to achieve domination of the world, and the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty has reached an outrageous level. Last time, our troops were divided into two routes, the East Road army besieged the Song Kingdom's capital, and the West Road army besieged Taiyuan Mansion, if it weren't for Liu Zhenglong, a guy who was almost demonic, we would have been able to grab greater benefits even if we couldn't destroy the Song Dynasty. Speaking of this, Wan Yan Xian also paused for a long time before saying slowly: "After that, the younger brother summed up for a long time, and felt that when the next chief went south, we were still divided into two routes, but we no longer went to attack Taiyuan Mansion, but gathered heavy troops from Bianliang, Tokyo, and the second road of men and horses landed from Laizhou with the help of sea ships, quickly occupied Jinan Mansion, and then took Yingtianfu, cutting off the back road of the Song army. ”

Although Wanyan Wu Qimai did not expect the strength of the water master, he still thought that Wanyan Xianye's strategy was feasible, but he still had psychological concerns, and he said with a little worry: "Dajin swept the world with cavalry, and he was not good at water warfare. Coupled with the fact that we don't have so many sea ships ourselves, how can we use naval battles to land in Dengzhou? ”

"We don't have a sea ship, but Da Song does." When he said this, Wan Yan Xian also showed a strange smile on his face, and he said: "We not only have to land in Dengzhou by sea ships, but also sack Jiangnan and finally dominate the world." ”

Wanyan Wu begged to buy how smart he was, and immediately understood what Wanyan Xuan's weird smile meant, that is, to take the entire Song Kingdom in one go, especially to take Jiangnan, he shook his head and said: "We have an agreement between Dajin and the Han Kingdom, and the Jin State Iron Cavalry cannot step across the Yangtze River, otherwise it will be a breach of contract, and the Han State will have a reason to send troops." ”

"Han sent troops? Your Majesty is not afraid of the Han Kingdom. Wan Yan Xianye's face is a little unsightly, he has been presiding over military affairs, and he has a special emotion for the Jin cavalry in his heart, and he firmly believes that the Jin army swept the world, how could he be afraid of the Han army? Wan Yan Xian also put the teacup in his hand and said coldly: "The total strength of the Han State is 650,000, of which 70,000 sailors have gone to Goryeo, and there are 50,000 infantry and 10,000 Han kings to garrison the imperial capital, so that the Han army is only 530,000 left, but among these troops, there are still 100,000 troops stationed on Chengdu Fu Road and Kuizhou Road to deter Dali and Tubo, and another 50,000 troops are stationed in Western Xia to ensure that there will be no civil strife in Western Xia." Not only that, but there must be 100,000 troops to prevent the western army from rebelling. Since the Han Dynasty did not have an army, the local army still needed 50,000 troops to garrison. In this way, there are only 220,000 troops that can actually participate in the war. And my Dajin has an army of 500,000 to go out to fight, which is more than twice the Han army. ”

This time, Wanyan Xian is also true, this is the most powerful place in the Jin State, and the 500,000 Jin army does not need to participate in the garrison, because when defeating the Liao State, countless Liao troops were captured, and it can also drive the Khitans, Bohai people, Xi people, Goryeo people, Liao Han people and those Song troops who surrendered to garrison the place. This is why it is difficult to reduce the strength of the Jin army, but this 500,000 is already the last limit of the Jin country. After all, nearly 200,000 Jin troops were killed by the Han army before, no matter how many signing troops and vassal armies there were, they could not be regarded as real Jin troops, and only these 500,000 Jurchen warriors were left who could really sweep the world.

It is difficult for Wanyan Wu to overturn Wanyan Xianye's point of view, and he can't say that he will not let him go on the expedition for a short time, in order to wait for Wanyan Xian to die, and after the preparation for the replacement of the crown prince is completed.

After all, Wan Yan Xian had discussed similar questions with Han Lie before, how could he be speechless? He smiled and said: "Don't forget that the Great Song Dynasty still has a million army, maybe during the local war, the Song army will flee from the wind, but once the war of annihilation, the trapped beasts are still fighting, it is not to be underestimated, and there is another problem, our estimation of the Han State is only theoretical, you must know that the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is a military wizard who is rare in a thousand years, and he is also a business wizard, he is not as simple as you think, you must know that once the Song State suffers a war of annihilation, the Han State gives up local defense and counterattacks with all its might, it is not impossible, When we go out to destroy the Song Dynasty, we must hit it with one blow, and we must not return in vain, which involves the overall battle of destroying the country. I am the Great Jin Emperor, and I can't press the entire Jin Kingdom to fight an uncertain war of annihilation. ”

That's right, Wanyan Wu begging is the Dajin Emperor, at this time, Wanyan Xian also knew that he had committed the biggest taboo of Wanyan Wu begging, after all, he was the crown prince, and he couldn't be aggressive at this time, and he still had to maintain the dignity of the emperor for the other party. After pondering for a long time, he said: "Your Majesty, the younger brother does not mean to cross the Yangtze River to occupy Jiangnan. Instead, they sent troops to occupy the north of the Yangtze River, but they sent troops at sea to plunder wealth from the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Wanyan Wu begged to buy without speaking, after all, destroying the Song Dynasty is an established national policy, not that it can be overthrown as an emperor. As long as Wanyan Xian also comes up with a mature plan and wins the respect of the nobles of the Jin Kingdom, the emperor must send troops, otherwise the throne will not be stable. I can't even keep the throne, so what do I want to change the crown prince system.

Wanyan Xian also saw that the emperor Wanyan Wu begged to refute it, so he said: "We rushed to Bianliang City with a thunderous momentum, either to destroy the city and destroy the Song State, or to force the Emperor of the Song State to surrender." Our Jin country's 500,000 troops can be divided into four routes, and the first road has Wanyan Yanmu leading an army of 50,000 to press Yunzhou, so that it does not dare to act rashly. Wanyan Lou sent 100,000 troops to suppress Taiyuan, so that it could not act rashly. Wanyan Zongbi led an army of 50,000 to land from Dengzhou with the help of sea ships, Wanyan Zongqi led an army of 200,000 to enter Bianliang City, and his younger brother led an army of 100,000 to stop the Han army in Luoyang to solve the danger of Bianliang for Wanyan Zongqi's flank. ”

The one in charge of the main attack is Wanyan Zongqi, what does this mean, Wanyan Wu really can't refuse, and he can't find a reason to refuse.

Wan Yan Xian can also be regarded as seeing through Wan Yan Wu's thoughts, and he said categorically: "If Pu Lihu can conquer Bianliang City and capture the Emperor of the Song Kingdom, it can be after me." The younger brother did his best to accomplish this. ”

"Since the emperor's brother is willing to serve as the marshal of the capital to conquer the Song Kingdom, then how can I refuse, it's just that the matter of this sea ship still needs to be considered, after all, we don't have it ourselves."

"Your Majesty, this is simple, just let Mr. Han Lie send an envoy to the Song Kingdom and force the Song Kingdom to send it to us as a sea ship. I believe that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is willing to give us a warship, and they still expect our Jin army to help conquer the Han Kingdom? ”

Wanyan Xianye's idea finally persuaded Wanyan Wu to beg for it, and the two brothers finally reached an agreement.

After Wanyan Xian also left, Wanyan Wu begged to say to Han Lie: "Mr. Han, you sent an envoy to the Song State and told the Emperor of the Song State that Dajin would go to Yunzhou and Taiyuan Mansion, and at the same time also to go to Goryeo, but there was a shortage of sea ships, so let them prepare a hundred big ships to transport troops." In addition, the Western Army attacked the Han State, and at the same time, the Song Army blocked Luoyang's eastward advance. ”

Obviously, this is a big gap from what the Emperor of Heaven of the Han Dynasty expected before, but Han Lie still accepted the order, after all, it is the mission of the descendants of the Chai family to destroy the Zhao family, and it will not change because of the existence of the Emperor of the Great Han, but he firmly believes that doing so is not necessarily a bad thing for the Emperor, so he did not mean to inform the other party.

After Han Lie went south, Jin Guo began to actively prepare for war, although everyone was dissatisfied with Wanyan Zongqi being responsible for the most important battle to destroy the Song Dynasty, but Marshal Wanyan Xian was also willing to cooperate with the green leaves, everyone was not saying anything, after all, the main task now is to destroy the Song Dynasty, and the internal contradictions have been temporarily stranded.

Before sending an envoy to Bianliang, Han Lie called his younger brother Han Li into the room, and he said bluntly: "When the time is ripe, you can properly disclose it to Wan Yan Kang, let this guy persuade Wan Yan Zong to do it, only when Wan Yan Kang ascends the throne, will everything go on a normal track." ”

Han Li was not Han Lie's own brother, but he adopted, he was more than ten years younger, about the same as a son, he was also a resourceful person, he had always been Wan Yan Kang's teacher, and it could be said that he had a huge influence on Wan Yan Ling.

At the age of seven, Han Li had lost his parents and relatives, and if Han Lie hadn't come to his rescue, he would have died a long time ago, where would there be today's glory and wealth. In his heart, Han Lie is not only a brother, but also a father, and a master, and he has always obeyed his words. In the entire plan to launch Yan Yan this time, Han Li was the most important link. He didn't know Han Lie's true identity, he was born in Jin Country since he was a child, of course he had no emotions for Song Guo, since the eldest brother said it, of course he had to go all out.

After instructing Han Li, Han Lie was relieved to go to Tokyo Bianliang, since the strategy of the Jin Kingdom had changed, then the plan for Wanyan Kang also needed to be adjusted, which could be said to affect the whole body.

Wan Yan Yan is only twelve years old now, but this fatherless teenager belongs to the youth and old age, and he is much more scheming than his peers. However, this young man who lost his father at a young age was deeply influenced by his master Han Li since he was a child, and he admired Han culture and longed for the rich Central Plains, and was dissatisfied with many of the current conditions of the backward Jin Kingdom. In addition, he was fostered in Wanyan Zonggan's mansion, and he had a sense of psychological inferiority under the fence since he was a child, and the relationship between him and his uncle Wanyan Zonggan, the adoptive father, was acceptable, but Wanyan Zonggan was busy with state affairs all day long and had no time to take care of this nephew, in this case, the relationship between Wanyan and Han Li was getting better and better, so that the relationship with another teacher, Han Fang, was worse.

In fact, Han Fang mainly taught Wan Yan Kang's Han poetry and song endowment, Han etiquette, and Wan Yan Kang's power skills, strategy, military knowledge, ability to recognize people, diplomatic rhetoric, including kung fu were deeply influenced by Han Li.

The greatest influence on Wanyan is the system of succession of the eldest son insisted by the Han people, his father Wanyan Zongjun is the eldest son of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta, although he died early, but as the eldest grandson, of course, he has his own thoughts about the throne.

If a person has a desire, it is difficult to suppress it, although Wan Yan Yan is only twelve years old, he already has a pursuit of the throne, and he also hopes that the master can help him operate, but he has tried many times without getting a response from Han Li.

Today, Wan Yan once again brought up this meaning, and he said to Han Li: "Master, Zhao Huan, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, abdicated the throne, how did the throne pass to Zhao Gou, why didn't he pass the throne to the crown prince Zhao Chen?" Is it because Zhao conspired to usurp the throne and seized the country that originally belonged to his nephew. ”
