Chapter 58: Civil strife in the Jin Army

"Now that the eastern front is really completely disintegrated, the Tiefutu of Wanyan Zongbi in Luoyang on the western front has been defeated by Yue Fei, and Kaifeng on the central line is even more impregnable, is there really a need for us to fight this battle?" Wanyan Xiyin opened his mouth and said, with a faint sense of complaint in his words, no wonder Wanyan Xiyin failed to be a commander on the third-line battlefield, and he had a lot of complaints in his heart.

"Isn't it just a small failure? Could our great Jurchen nation be intimidated by this small defeat? Wanyan Zonghan took over and said.

"A small failure? Is this really a small failure? When I came, there were 300,000 troops, but now there are only 200,000 left, if this is a small failure, then I really don't know what a real failure is? Could it be that our 300,000 families have been defeated, and this is the real failure? Wanyan Zong asked.

At this time, the Jin country is no longer as harmonious as when it was Wanyan Agu fought the world, the so-called easy to fight the country, sit on the country, the cake is done, how to distribute it so that all parties are satisfied, this has always been the most headache for the founding emperors of the past dynasties, so there are often things where the emperor kills the founding heroes, and the so-called high merit covers death, and the fundamental reason is the distribution of interests behind it.

Just like now, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan are actually standing in the two camps, this time it is Wanyan Zonghan as the commander of the whole army, Wanyan Zongwang is naturally a little unhappy, this emotion will naturally not be shown at the original time, but now that something goes wrong, when the responsibility is to be investigated, Wanyan Zongwang will stand up, because once it comes down to the failure of this expedition to the Song Dynasty, then Wanyan Zonghan's position as a general will definitely change hands, and he will be the biggest beneficiary.

Wanyan Zonghan was secretly angry in his heart, he originally thought that this was a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but it became such a situation, if he really admitted the failure of this expedition to the Song Dynasty, I believe that these people on the other side will definitely take the opportunity to seize his power, and when the time comes, if he wants to make a comeback, it is estimated that there will be no chance.

Therefore, Wanyan Zonghan could not admit defeat, but said: "I can't say that, my great Jurchen nation, everyone is a born warrior, and now we still have 200,000 troops, we are not inferior to the Song army in terms of numbers, and we are stronger than the Song army in terms of combat power. ”

"Having said that, but the general, this current situation, I don't know what the general has to break through, if it is like this confrontation between the two armies, the Song army can afford to wait, but we can't afford to wait, as far as I know, now our army's grain and grass can only sustain the army for a month, so what about a month later? If we still can't open the door of Bianjing, what should we do? Wanyan Xiyin continued to ask.

Wanyan Zonghan glanced at Wanyan Xiyin with some dissatisfaction, and secretly scolded this kid for being ungrateful, if it wasn't for his own promotion, how could he Wanyan Xiyin have today's position, but he didn't expect that now he has climbed the high branch of Wanyan Zongwang, and he has completely kicked himself aside, and now he has become a pawn against himself.

"Hmph, you also said, there is still more than a month, more than a month, enough time to change the situation of the battle, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, maybe in a few days, I can celebrate in Kaifeng Mansion." Wanyan Zonghan said lightly.

"Then may I ask the General, what are we going to do next?" Wanyan Xiyin said step by step.

"Isn't the purpose of calling you here today to discuss the next battle plan, let's all think about what our army should do under the current situation?" Wan Yan Zonghan proposed.

"My opinion is that this southern expedition has failed, let's retreat to the Yanyun area for rest and recuperation, recruit soldiers and horses, and then make a comeback when the time is ripe." Wanyan Xiyin was the first to speak, and he actually represented the idea of Wanyan Zongwang's faction.

Wanyan Zonghan didn't expect Wanyan Xiyin to be on his side, he didn't even reply to what Wanyan Xiyin said, but said to Wanyan Loushi: "General Loushi, what good way do you have?" ”

Wanyan Lou Room didn't expect to be named by Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Lou Room is a smart person, for the struggle for power between Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Lou Room has always been in a neutral state, but I didn't expect to be named by Wanyan Zonghan now.

Taking a deep breath, Wan Yan Lou opened his mouth and said: "In today's Song Dynasty, the new monarch has ascended the throne, made great efforts to govern the country, reformed the military system, and eliminated redundant troops, so that the combat strength of the Song army has doubled, and it cannot be the same as in the past. ”

After Yan Lou said for a long time, they were all inconsequential words, for the situation that the military power of the Song Dynasty became stronger, everyone knew very well, if it was like the 10,000 Song troops who surrendered at the beginning of the Jin Army, now the Song Dynasty has long been destroyed by the Jurchens, but unfortunately it is not.

"Everyone understands what you said, but in this situation, what can you do to break the enemy?" Wanyan Zonghan continued to ask, the so-called one person is short in wisdom and two people in wisdom, the current Wanyan Zonghan can't count on Wanyan Zongwang and others to help come up with ideas, so he can only seek help from Wanyan Lou's room.

"I have been familiar with the history of the art of war of the Song Dynasty during this time, and I have some experience, so I will share it with the generals here." Wan Yan Lou said softly.

Wanyan Xiyin pursed his lips, he was actually a little jealous of Wanyan Lou Room, this guy is neutral every time, but he can get benefits from the competition between the two factions every time, just like now, Wanyan Lou Room has become the object of competition between the two sides, and he is a pawn who charges into battle.

"Those things of the Song people are just some coquettish things that are against poetry, literary crepe, like a girl, after I finished talking about Yan Lou's room, you still don't want to look at these things of the Song people, look at you, how can there be a little bit of our Jurchen aristocracy now, just like last time, I was almost caught by Yue Fei's shaft, and when I escaped back, I had to pretend to be a flower child, it was really ...... Tut-tut! Speaking of this, Wan Yan Xiyin couldn't help but shake his head, like that, it was obvious that he was mocking Wan Yan Lou for not being like a man.

Wanyan Lou's face was a little pale when Wanyan Xiyin said it, although he knew that Wanyan Xiyin was this kind of villain, but Wanyan Lou Room couldn't help but be angry, and said: "Hmph, rat eyes, don't hide it from you, I really have a lot of opinions." ”
