Chapter 464 Peace Negotiation

"Move the capital?" After Yan Chang heard the news, he was taken aback and said, "Your Majesty, this must not be!" ”

Wan Yan Liang didn't expect Wan Yan Chang's reaction to be so excited, he frowned and said, "General, but what are your concerns?" ”

Wan Yanchang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this capital is the foundation of our Dajin Kingdom, and it is the place where our ancestors have lived for generations, and now they have suddenly left their hometowns, which is really inappropriate!" ”

Wan Yanliang waved his hand and said: "You can't say that, in the future, we will rule the country of the Song Dynasty, and the current Shangjing City is too remote, and there is no way to control the whole country, and it is not conducive to controlling the whole country." ”

"But we haven't conquered Song yet, what if we can't?" Wan Yanchang thought like this in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, Wan Yanliang was stubborn and self-serving, if he said this, it might cause him unpleasantness.

Wan Yan Chang thought about it and said to Wan Yan Liang: "Your Majesty, it's still a little inappropriate to do this, now that the Song army is pressing the border, it is too close to Youzhou City, if we rashly move the capital to Youzhou City at this time, it is really a bit risky." ”

Wan Yan Liang nodded, and said to Wan Yan Chang: "The general said Yanji City, I have actually thought about all these things you said, but after my careful consideration, I still feel that the advantages of moving the capital outweigh the disadvantages. ”

Wan Yanchang really wanted to scold, how did your brain grow, and how could the benefits outweigh the disadvantages? Are you funny?

Wan Yanliang continued: "I moved the capital to Youzhou, so that I can convey to the soldiers in front of me the determination to fight in the Song Dynasty and give the soldiers confidence, and at the same time, the capital is behind the soldiers, and their morale will be high." ”

Wan Yan Chang heard what Wan Yan Liang said, smiled bitterly in his heart, and said, "But Your Majesty, have you ever thought about what if the front is defeated?" At that time, the Song army will be able to wave its army north and surround Youzhou City. ”

Wan Yan Liang was obviously ready to move the capital for a long time, and when he heard what Wan Yan Chang said, he waved his hand and said, "The general is leading an army of 500,000 to the south this time, how can he fail?" ”

After Yan Chang asked this sentence, there was no way to answer, it stands to reason that there should be no problem for the Jurchen army to defeat the army of the Song Dynasty, but this is a battle, not a battle in numbers, and there is no concept of victory in an absolute sense.

And in this history, are there fewer examples of less winning more and the weak defeating the strong?

"Your Majesty, it's still too risky to do this, according to common sense, the Jurchen army should not be afraid of the army of any country, but this is not afraid of 10,000, just in case, the capital is behind, if it is really besieged, then won't our Dajin Kingdom be destroyed, Your Majesty?" Wan Yanchang said to Wan Yanliang with some excitement.

Wan Yanliang waved his hand and said: "They have a fixed saying in the Song Dynasty, called breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, fighting against the water, this time, we also have to break the cauldron and sink the boat, the general, the capital is behind you, as long as you fail, our Dajin Kingdom will perish, so this battle, you only need to succeed, not fail." ”

Wan Yanchang felt that the pressure on his expedition this time was too great.

"Okay, this matter has been decided, general, all you have to do is to do your best to destroy the army of the Song Dynasty, and when the matter of moving the capital is completed, I will also drive the expedition in person and help the general with your hand." Wan Yan Liang said to Wan Yan Chang.

When Yan Chang came out of the palace, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and now he realized that he was not so easy to be a general, and he didn't know if it was his luck or misfortune to be such a king.

The army of the Jin Kingdom once again waved south, and the news reached Zhao Huan's ears for the first time.

Now that the army of the Song Dynasty has retreated south and is defending in the area of Baoding City, it is not that Zhao Huan does not want to directly recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun in one go, but the weather is not suitable for war now.

It is the middle of winter, the weather is very cold, and most of the army of the Song Dynasty are southerners, the number of northerners is small, they adapt to the warm weather in the south, and they are very uncomfortable with the cold in the north, so this situation still has an impact on the combat effectiveness of the army, so after some thought, Zhao Huan directly set the time of the Northern Expedition to the spring of next year.

At the same time, he also sent out the envoy Chai Rong to envoy to the Jin State, wanting to return the sixteen states of Youyun through peace negotiation, Zhao Huan is a powerful monarch, but at the same time he is not a warmonger, if you can take back the sixteen states of Youyun without a single soldier, then why not.

But the reality is still cruel, he still doesn't know much about a wonderful emperor like Wan Yanliang, and he buried Chai Rong's life in vain.

"The two armies are fighting, and if they don't kill them, what Jin Guo has done is really too deceitful!" Li Gang said angrily, after hearing that Yan Liang actually cut down the Chai Rong sacrifice flag in front of the army, this group of civil officials was angry at that time.

"At this time, what's the use of saying this, Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the troops to fight and avenge Lord Chai Rong!" Han Shizhong stood up at this time and said that he was originally a gangster, and when he heard such a news at this time, he was angered on the spot.

"Your Majesty, Jin Guo claims that this time Wan Yan Chang personally led a million troops to come, I'm afraid it's not good." At this time, Liu Guangshi, the deputy privy envoy of the Privy Council, stood up and said.

Zhao Huan glared at him, isn't this nonsense? Don't you know that they are not good?

Liu Guangshi continued: "Your Majesty, it is winter now, and most of the soldiers of our dynasty are southerners, this season is for the people of Jinguo, they have lived in the north for a long time, and they have adapted to this kind of cold weather, but our soldiers are not adaptable, which will greatly affect their combat effectiveness." ”

Hearing what Liu Guangshi said, Han Shizhong was not happy at that time, and said to Liu Guangshi: "Lord Liu, I don't know what you mean by this?" ”

Liu Guangshi glanced at Han Shizhong, and said at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this season is really not suitable for fighting against the Jin State, otherwise this million army will attack, and if our army is defeated, it will be troublesome." ”。

Zhao Huan looked at Liu Guangshi in front of him, what he said was also Zhao Huan's concern, but he couldn't be afraid of war because of this.

Zhao Huan said softly: "Lord Liu, what do you mean?" ”
