Lin Jue said with a smile: "It's just a temporary repair, and this is a country-to-country game strategy." Breaking the covenant between the Great Zhou and the Jurchens is equivalent to solving the pressure of being attacked on both sides. Perhaps what the Liao wanted to do more was to make peace with the Jurchens, but they did not have this condition, because the Jurchens would not compromise with them. Only in the Great Zhou, in the case of defeat, there will be panic and lamentation in the court, and peace should be Guo Xu's first choice at this time. If Yelu Zongyuan is smart, he should negotiate peace with the Great Zhou, and at the same time, he can also break the covenant with the Jurchens. The Liao people could free up their hands, supplement their domestic deficit with the materials compensated from the Great Zhou, use the money and grain of the Great Zhou to raise troops for them, and then fight against the Jurchens. After destroying the Jurchens, the next step is the Great Zhou. How could the Liao people let go of the Great Zhou. squeezed out the money and grain of the Great Zhou, and then it was devastated. ”

Everyone gasped, and although Lord Lin's tone was flat, the picture described was extremely terrifying. If the Liao people are really as Lin Jue thought, then once the Great Zhou and the Liao people reach a peace agreement, the Liao people can divide and rule, first concentrate on destroying the Jurchens, and then turn back and then destroy the Great Zhou.

"You say...... Will the court agree to negotiate peace? Isn't the court aware of this? Guo Kun frowned and groaned.

Lin Jue shook his head and said, "I don't know what the imperial court will do, it stands to reason...... Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun are both smart people, and there is no shortage of wise people in the court, so they should be able to think that it is not the best way to negotiate peace with the Liao people at this time. The previous alliance with the Jurchens may have been hasty, but at this time, the alliance with the Jurchens needs to be more unbreakable. If peace is to be negotiated, it can only be to reach a tripartite peace clause, and it is absolutely impossible to unilaterally negotiate peace with the Liao people, which is the plot of the Liao people. But...... It doesn't matter what you and I say, it depends on what Guo Xu, Yang Jun, and Lu Zhongtian think. ”

Guo Kun rubbed his hands and said, "I hope that as you say, the imperial court will see through the tricks of the Liao people." ”

Lin Jue said softly: "With all due respect, I'm afraid it's difficult for the imperial court not to consider the matter of negotiating peace with the Liao people. I think the key person is Yang Jun, Yang Jun still has some knowledge, he should understand the intentions of the Liao people. If he can withstand the pressure, find a way to pack up his troops and horses, gather his combat strength, and persuade Guo Xu to understand the subtleties involved, it is possible to avoid falling into the trap of peace negotiations. But in the case of Guo Xu, I'm afraid he is already out of his mind at the moment, and I don't know what to do. If he is afraid of the invasion of the Liao people and his throne is not guaranteed, then he will definitely negotiate peace with the Liao people. Of course, the attitude of the Liao people is also decisive, if the Liao lion opens his mouth and puts forward some exaggerated demands, such as asking for land cession and demanding a huge amount of compensation, then the peace negotiation may not be successful. But I don't think Yelu Zongyuan would do that. Yelu Zongyuan will definitely put forward the conditions that Da Zhou can accept, and it is the condition that they can get the greatest benefit. If Yelu Zongyuan didn't even have a basic judgment of the situation, he, the emperor, would have stepped down a long time ago. Yelu Zongyuan was also under tremendous pressure at this moment, and his act of ordering the dam digging had probably caused great dissatisfaction among the Liao State, and he had to quell the Jurchen rebellion and divert the country's attention by attacking the Great Zhou. So, at such a time, it is actually the delicate time of the game. Whoever makes the wrong step is likely to be destroyed. ”

Everyone listened to it with cold sweat on their spines. It turned out that there was such a delicate and crucial game between the three parties. If it hadn't been for Lord Lin to point it out, everyone would not have thought of these tricks at all. In addition to being stunned, he admired Lin Jue even more.

"Brother Lin, since it's so crucial, what should we do in it? When you say that I'm going to change our strategy, do you mean that we should do something? Ma Bin asked with rare thoughtfulness.

Lin Jue nodded and said, "Yes, what we have to do is to seize the time and expand our strength." I have to do something and be ready. Because I personally think that there are not many comfortable days left for us. Regardless of the choice of the imperial court, the chaos between the Liao State and my Great Zhou and the Jurchens has become a reality. The so-called delicate tripartite balance that I mentioned earlier is the most idealistic situation and is unlikely to be realized. And the biggest possibility is that the Liao people will destroy the Jurchens and turn around to start a war with me in the Great Zhou, or the imperial court will be ruthless and mobilize the last strength to fight the Liao people with the Jurchens, and finally destroy the Liao State. There is no room for relaxation. Any détente is temporary. For us, no matter what happens, we can't be immune to it. Therefore, I must seize this last time to grow stronger. Our Luoyan army now has a total strength of 50,000 troops, and there is no need to expand the strength at present, because I have always said that more soldiers does not necessarily mean stronger, and the key is that the soldiers are well-equipped, the tactics are advanced, and the strategy is appropriate. What I mean by strengthening strength is that taking advantage of the defeat of the imperial court and their inability to control us now, we must acquire a large number of weapons, firearms and all kinds of materials, and all resources must be tilted militarily, and everyone must be nervous. We must be ready to go out to fight in the mountains at any time, and we must be prepared to fight with anyone, the Liao, the Jurchens, and even the imperial court soldiers and horses if necessary. ”

"Okay, Brother Lin, you are finally willing to say this, do you know how long everyone has been waiting for this sentence?" Ma Bin laughed and said: "Damn, what Liao Jurchens, Lao Tzu really wants to be with them for a while." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Liang Qi also said: "That's it, we're all going crazy." We train every day, and we don't know when we will be able to go out to the mountains to fight. When the villagers saw us climbing the mountain and training, they all said that we had nothing to do when we were full, so it was better to help them do farm work and digest a stomach full of food. Although it was a joke, the brothers were really suffocating. ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "What are these words?" If you really want to go to war, shouldn't you hope that you will never go to war? It's only been a few days, and one by one it doesn't stop? I really should take you all to Liao to see the tragedy of the battlefield, to see the corpses everywhere under the city of Zhuozhou, and to see the bloody corpses pecked by vultures and crows all over the city after the flood flooded Xingzhong Mansion. The purpose of our military training is to fight when needed, but what is the ultimate goal? It is to make the world peaceful and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. It's never going to war. If I only train for the sake of fighting, then I will lose the value of my army. ”

Everyone rolled their eyes and was speechless, Lord Lin came to this set again, and the roots of these words were calloused. But Lord Lin said that he was talking about the cruelty of the war, but he didn't have any mercy when he got firearms and swarmed Shenwu General Cannons.

"If you go to war, you must first train your soldiers and prepare first, otherwise you will be sent to death. With the current strength of my Luoyan army, it is said that the Jurchens, the Liao, and even the imperial army may not be able to fight. You still have to train hard. Lin Jue said.

"Yes, yes, that's what the military advisor said."

"What Brother Lin said is that Brother Lin is subtle, discerning, and far-sighted, and what he said is not wrong at all."

Everyone hurriedly began to slap with the mud and sycophants.

"However, Lord Lin hasn't said exactly how we do it. Be quiet, don't talk nonsense, and listen to the adults. Shen Tan lost no time in saying.

Lin Jue smacked his lips and said: "We have to go out to the mountains to collect the materials we need, we don't need grain and grass and other things, but we need other materials, such as iron, gunpowder, horses, and a large number of craftsmen." It is necessary to speed up the construction of workshops, speed up the creation of various weapons and the construction of vehicles and equipment. You can't make a fuss, you have to send people to buy iron ores, horses, and gunpowder. The imperial court is now too busy to take care of itself, and we don't need to be too low-key. Sending shrewd brothers disguised as merchants to buy them is higher than the price of the imperial court, and there is no need to be afraid of spending money. All our silver will be spent and transformed into combat effectiveness. I admit that we are taking advantage of the danger of the imperial court to hold back, but we can't take care of it. ”

Everyone nodded and said: "I see, you really don't have to be too careful, there are no officers and soldiers within dozens of miles outside the mountain." Most of the troops in several places have been transferred, and the rest are very honest and do not conflict with us at all. We can even swagger between several state capitals, and they don't care about us. ”

Lin Jue nodded: "Of course." Yang Jun marched north and requisitioned a large number of military resources. The salaries of the local army must have been deducted a lot. Even the armor of the forbidden army was requisitioned, let alone them. It is estimated that many soldiers have been mobilized to the northeast border towns, but they don't think that we will take the opportunity to attack in the mountains, but they are very relieved to us. ”

"If it weren't for the military division's inadoption, we would have taken several surrounding state capitals a long time ago." Liang Qi couldn't help but say.

Lin Jue glared at him and said, "What's the use of taking it down?" It's a waste of energy. The army is coming, can you hold it? Isn't it good for the court to manage it? If you have the ability to take down Bianliang and catch Guo Xu, you can call it a real skill. ”

Liang Qi rolled his eyes and stopped talking.

"We have to do what needs to be done immediately, and we must be fully prepared. None of the things we had discussed before were settled, so I suggested sending a large number of scouts to inquire about the further development of the situation, so as to be aware of the situation and prepare for the situation. All in all, Lord Wang, brothers, I'm afraid we all have to tense our nerves and get busy. Lin Jue got up and said.

Everyone said yes, with Lin Jue leading the direction, everyone was much more down-to-earth.
