"Although my Luoyan Army holds high the banner and wants to overthrow Guo Xu's throne, you must understand that with the strength of my Luoyan Army, it is impossible to do it at present. We can only rely on the terrain of Funiu Mountain to defend the map, and any inflated idea that we can be on an equal footing with the imperial army is unrealistic. Maybe one day we can go head-to-head with them, but not now. It is not difficult to understand this truth by comparing the number of troops and the supply of materials and equipment a little. My Falling Goose Army can't even be fully equipped with armor and weapons. Otherwise, why would I risk going to Snake Island to try my luck and find this batch of supplies. When I say this, I don't mean to grow the anger of others and destroy my own prestige. Our Luoyan Army also has our own advantages, and we also have the capital to stand on our own. The imperial court is going to fight against the Liao, which gives us a great opportunity to increase our strength, enrich our combat materials, find ways to solve our equipment problems, and train our soldiers and horses. With my cottage's current self-sufficiency, this will take a long time. I was worried that the imperial court would not give us this respite, but if Guo Xu attacked Liao, it would give us this opportunity. The next time the imperial army returns, my Luoyan army may already have an army of 50,000. Our swarm of bazookas may have hundreds of them, and our rockets may be inexhaustible. We may already have what it takes to fight them. That's what we're supposed to do. We can't attack the city when the imperial court is fighting with the Liao, but we can recruit troops to strengthen ourselves and make all preparations. Isn't this also a good use of this opportunity to be active? ”

Lin Jue's words suddenly opened. Yes, instead of going to the city to harass the rear and let the Liao people benefit, why not use a smarter approach, recruit troops, prepare supplies, and take the opportunity to strengthen and improve the military strength of the Luoyan army. When Guo Xu attacked Luoyan Valley again, the Luoyan Army may have been reborn and no longer relied on luck and luck to defeat the opponent like this time. Instead, use enough strength to defeat the imperial court's soldiers and horses. This may be the right way to go.

"I agree with Lin Jue's approach. This king thinks that this is the most strategic way to go. The war between the imperial court and the Liao people is related to the survival of the Great Zhou Sheji, although we will not help Guo Xu, but we must not delay and let the Liao people benefit. The imperial court is not free to deal with us, and it is a good time for us to increase our strength. Guo Kun said in a deep voice.

Everyone nodded and said, "Agree, agree, that's how it should be." ”

Lin Jue arched his hand and said: "Thank you, everyone agrees, I am relieved." Once the war between the imperial court and the Liao State began, we vigorously expanded our troops and horses and procured supplies. The military workshop here also needs to be upgraded and expanded, and it will have greater building capabilities. At that time, we will have a lot of space, and the imperial court will basically be powerless to restrict our behavior. But as long as we don't attack the surrounding cities and don't threaten the inland state capitals, they won't be affected by us. At best, it's just a little worry. ”

Liang Qi opened his mouth and asked, "Military Division, if the imperial army and the Liao people really go to war, what are the chances of victory?" Who does the Strategist want to win? ”

Everyone fell silent when they heard this, and it was obvious that this question was also a matter of great concern to them. Liang Qi asked this sentence for them.

Lin Jue frowned, he didn't really want to answer such a question. Because whether you win or lose, it's not a good result. If the Liao people win, the result can be imagined. The fiasco of the Great Zhou soldiers and horses is not the end, the Liao people will definitely launch revenge, and at that time, it is a time when the lives are in ruin and the society is shaking. Such a result is absolutely unacceptable to Lin Jue.

If Da Zhou wins, it will actually be unfavorable to Lin Jue and Luo Yanjun. Because if Guo Xu can expand his territory and get a large amount of land in Liao, he will complete the great cause that all the emperors of the Great Zhou have not been able to accomplish, and he will definitely become one of the most wise and martial kings of the Great Zhou. And this will directly whitewash his usurpation, so that the people of the world only remember his martial arts and forget the despicable things he has done. Under such circumstances, the banner of the Luo Yan Army's crusade against the usurper and rebel thieves will be eclipsed, and its influence will be greatly weakened. People are fickle, and many will only worship the strong and the winners, tolerating or forgetting their sins, which is human nature. At that time, it is difficult to overthrow Guo Xu's throne, and I am afraid that whether the Luoyan Army can protect itself is a question. In the end, the ending of the Luoyan Army may be to become a bandit in the mouth of people in Funiu Mountain, and finally annihilate silently.

Therefore, no matter what kind of ending, Lin Jue doesn't want to see it. But Lin Jue actually doesn't want to see the former the most. Because Lin Jue had almost realized the end of this joint Jurchen desire to destroy the Liao people.

Although this is a strange era called Da Zhou, it seems to be a world parallel to the world that Lin Jue crossed over. However, among the countless midnight dreams and flickering fragments of memory, some unusual things always lingered in his mind, bringing Lin Jue great trouble. This world is by no means unrelated to the world that Lin Jue came from, Lin Jue firmly believes this. Although the history of the bifurcation from the five generations is unfamiliar, the trajectory of all previous histories is indistinguishable from the history of the earth. And the Great Zhou in which he is located, although it is not the Zhao family, although it is different in some aspects, but the temperament of the dynasty is actually strikingly similar to the dynasty called 'Great Song' in that world. The trajectories are also very similar. It's just that some familiar names no longer appear, but there are traces of the great events that happened.

Because of this, Lin Jue hallucinates countless times, sometimes feeling that he is in real history, and sometimes feeling that all this is an illusion. However, after reading through the "History of the National Dynasty" and many detailed books on the history of the Great Zhou, Lin Jue had to admit that the Great Zhou he was in was very similar to the Great Song Dynasty he was familiar with. A lot of what happened was highly overlapping, but the people involved were different, and the timing was slightly off.

On Snake Island, when Lin Jue confirmed the news of the alliance between Da Zhou and the Jurchens, Lin Jue was really shocked. Although earlier, Lin Jue began to suspect that Guo Xu's agreement to send troops to help the Liao people put down the rebellion was a conspiracy. But until the final confirmation, Lin Jue was still not sure. And after really confirming this matter, Lin Jue inevitably remembered the wrong decision made by the dynasty called the Great Song Dynasty located in another parallel world. Lin Jue believes that this is no coincidence. This may be the general trend of history, a bifurcated parallel world, and their ways and trajectories are similar, which means that the alliance between the Great Zhou and the Jurchens will bring disaster to the Great Zhou. Just like the glorious Great Song Dynasty, strategic mistakes directly led to the destruction of the country, leading to the 'Jingkang Shame', which made countless people feel humiliated. Half of the great rivers and mountains have been lost.

On the way back from Snake Island, Lin Jue kept thinking about this question. He was very reluctant to believe such an ending, and always comforted himself with the fact that Da Zhou was not Da Song. But at the same time, there was another voice in his heart reminding him that Da Zhou was actually Da Song. Is it possible that the same way of doing things, the same wrong strategic decisions, will have different consequences? Lin Jue didn't know.

Of course, Lin Jue hopes that something can be reversed. Just as he was born again, he always wanted to turn the fortunes of his family and individuals around, and actively worked for it. Lin Jue initially did things with the idea that people will conquer the sky. He has been fighting for this goal all the way, hoping to reverse the fate of his previous life. But in this process, Lin Jue became more and more powerless to resist. The result of many things seems to be the same end, and after exhausting all means, the result seems to be still running on the final road.

For example, he knew that the Liang Wangfu would be destroyed in his last life, so he tried to avoid contact with it from the beginning. But in the end, he became the son-in-law of Liang Wangfu and became a person in the same boat as Liang Wangfu. He tried his best to avoid the Lin family from standing in line because of the establishment of the crown prince, which finally led to the result of being liquidated in the previous life, but in this life he had to choose to take sides again, and still fell into the situation of being liquidated.

Although it seems that compared with the previous life, at present, the Lin family and the Liang Wangfu have avoided the fate of being slaughtered on the street and safely entered the Luoyan Valley of Funiu Mountain. It seems to be the result of reversing the previous life. But in fact, Lin Jue knew in his heart that this situation was actually another form of eradication. In addition to being alive and still bouncing, the political life of Liang Wangfu and himself in the court was completely ended. In a way, it's no different from killing them all. The only thing that can be comforting is that there is the shelter of Funiu Mountain and the Wild Goose Valley, and the spark of the Falling Goose Army. There may be some chances of a comeback in the future, but this chance is obviously slim.

Therefore, every time he thought of these things, Lin Jue felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness in his heart. It seems that he is like a monkey in the palm of the Buddha's hand, no matter how much trouble he makes, he can't get out of the scope of that palm. Sometimes the feeling is hopeless.

Of course, Lin Jue also saw something unusual, and this thick curtain did not seem to be without flaws. Although it was only a small change, it was enough to give Lin Jue hope because of this. For example, the fate of Green Dance, such as the fate of Huanqiu. They had already died at this moment in the previous life, Huanqiu died of illness, and Green Dance was forced to die. But in this life, Lin Jue reversed their fate, and they are now living happily and healthily. There is also the fate of Lin Youde's family, Lin Youde died a few years ago in the previous life, and his family is gone, but now, they are very good.

Lin Jue believes that the so-called wheel of fate and history is not without exceptions. Although these are the changes in the fate of the little people, they do not seem to have an impact on the general trend. But Lin Jue felt that as long as there were exceptions, there was still hope. History is created by man, and the reversal of man's destiny may be able to reverse the general trend of history, and the change of man's destiny will definitely have an impact on the general trend of history. It is not impossible that the change of the fate of an individual may be the power to change the general trend, and the change of the fate of a big man may be more able to change some trends.

Therefore, a simple analogy between the Great Zhou and the Great Song may not be accurate. Where the fate of the Great Zhou goes, this may not be destined in the dark. The tragedy of destroying the country that occurred in the parallel world may not happen to Da Zhou.

All this is just speculation. Whether all this is inevitable or accidental is difficult to decide. But from a strategic point of view, Guo Xu's decision this time is really a risky strategy. The outcome is really unpredictable.
