…

Jin Wuxi falls, and the moon rabbit rises eastward.

Li Yan sat alone on the dragon chair in the Long Live Hall and was silent.

The chamberlain came over cautiously, and then asked Li Yan in a low voice: "Governor, do you need to hold the lamp?" ”

Li Yan retracted his thoughts, and then said, "Forget it, go back to the harem." ”

At this moment, another chamberlain came in, and then reported: "Metropolitan Governor, Shaoqing Chen Hoop Bucket asks to see." ”

Li Yan, who had just stood up, thought about it, sat back again, and then said, "Xuan him in." ”

It didn't take long for Chen Hoop Bucket to enter the Hall of Long Live under the leadership of the inner attendant.

Chen hoop bucket stood still at His Royal Highness, and then bowed: "Weichen meets the Metropolitan Governor." ”

Li Yan first asked Chen Hoop to excuse himself, and then said, "I don't know why Aiqing came over so late?" ”

Chen hoop bowed and said: "I beg the Metropolitan Governor to forgive the great disrespect of the micro-ministers!" ”

Li Yan said: "I will not punish you for your sins because you said the wrong thing." ”

Hearing Li Yan say this, Chen Hoop said: "Weichen has the courage to suggest that the Metropolitan Governor give up Yanyun!" ”

What made Chen Hoop Bucket slightly surprised was that Li Yan behaved calmly, as if he was prepared.

In order to get Yanyun, Li Yanjunchen planned for a long time, and it took nearly two years, dozens of battles, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses killed and wounded to create today's good situation.

Therefore, if you give up Yan Yun, ordinary people really can't make up this decision, whether it is Li Yan or the civil and military forces under Li Yan.

After being silent for a while, Li Yan looked at Chen Hoop and said, "Tell me your reason." ”

Chen hoop said: "During the day, the Song envoy named Ma Kuo analyzed that he was not wrong, if you start a war with the Song State now, especially if the army has to be transferred back to rescue the three counties of Lelang, Zhenban, and Jeju, it is very likely that you will lose both sides with the Song State, and then let the foreign fishermen benefit, in that case, the Metropolitan Governor you will ...... will ......"

Seeing that Chen Hoop Bucket was spitting out, Li Yan said for Chen Hoop Bucket: "In that case, I will become a sinner of the Han people through the ages, right?" ”

Chen hoop bucket nodded lightly, and then said: "This is not the most important thing, Weichen is very afraid that the metropolitan governor will take care of both ends, and in the end he will not get either end." ”

Li Yan didn't speak, he was waiting for Chen Hoop's words.

Chen Hoop didn't sell it, and said directly: "Weichen guesses that the idea of Goryeo and Taifeng should be to take advantage of the fact that the Metropolitan Governor and the main force of our Liangshan army are not on the peninsula, fight a quick battle, capture Seoul as soon as possible, and then completely drive our Shuibo Liangshan out of the peninsula in the shortest possible time, in other words, they should not have thought about fighting with us for a long time, what they think is likely to win this war quickly with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai...... However, because of the stubborn resistance of the first, second, and third compartments, they are now stuck in the quagmire of a long battle. The materials, grain and grass needed for this kind of war of hundreds of thousands of people were very amazing, and with the national strength of Goryeo and Taefeng, they could not support them to fight such a big war at all. Therefore, they are bound to loot our Shuibo Liangshan to fight and support the war. This is probably the reason why they bypassed Seoul and went directly into the hinterland of our Shuipo Yangsan. In this way, the destruction of the three counties of Rakrang, Jinban and Jeju by Goryeo, Taephon and Japan will be very staggering. If you don't stop them soon, your foundations will be severely damaged. If they really get lucky, the Metropolitan Governor will lose the foundation of the world. ”

What Chen hoop bucket said was exactly what Li Yan was most worried about.

The reason why Li Yan was able to come out to compete with the Song State, the Jin State, the Western Xia State and other countries in the Central Plains was because the four counties of Lelang, Zhenban, Jeju and Taiwan provided Li Yan with support such as money and grain, baggage, and soldiers.

Let's put it this way, if Li Yan didn't have these four counties, Li Yan would definitely not come to attack Yanyun, because, even if Li Yan barely defeated Yanyun, he couldn't afford the consumption of Yanyun region.

The same is true for the Central Plains in the future, no, it should be said that there must be more needed, you know, the Song Kingdom has a population of more than 120 million, and the food gap alone will be an astronomical amount, without the support of the three counties of Lelang, Zhenfan, and Jeju, what will Li Yan do to stabilize the hearts of the people in the Central Plains?

And that's just from the point of view of profit.

And emotionally.

Li Yan's dozens of wives and concubines and dozens of children are all in Seoul, as a husband and a father by his side, can Li Yan not save them?

All in all, the three counties of Lelang, Zhenban, and Jeju are very important to Li Yan and cannot be missed.

Chen hoop bucket said: "Also, even if you lose the three counties of Lelang, Zhenfan, and Jeju, you may not be able to occupy Yanyun, if you occupy Yanyun and do not leave, the Song State that is already in a desperate situation will definitely do its best to fight with you, even if you win the Song Kingdom, you still have to face the challenges of the Jin Kingdom, the Western Xia and the Mongolian tribes, let's talk about the worst case first, the worst situation is that you lose the three counties of Lelang, Zhenfan, and Jeju, and you will lose Yanyun again, and at the same time lose the strength of the Central Plains, let's talk about the best situation, The best-case scenario is that you will be greatly damaged, and within a few years, you will only be able to recuperate, and you will not be able to chase the Central Plains for the time being, so the gains really outweigh the losses. ”

Li Yan was silent.

Chen Hoop continued: "But if you give up Yanyun, then with your current strength, you can easily destroy Goryeo, Taifeng, and even Japan, in that case, in two years at most, your strength can be fully restored, and it can also be improved, when you are in the land, you can find another suitable opportunity to kill back, and at that time, you will be invincible and win the Central Plains in one fell swoop!" ”

Li Yan looked at Chen Hoop and asked, "Will there be such an opportunity?" ”

Chen Hoop said conclusively: "As long as the Metropolitan Governor gives Yanyun to the Song Kingdom, there will definitely be such an opportunity!" ”

Li Yan asked, "Why?" ”

Chen hoop said: "If you don't change widows and suffer unevenly, Jin Guo and Xixia have made such a big effort, but they can't get anything, how can they be willing?" If the strength of the Song State is strong, it would be fine, but the Song State has already leaked its weakness, how can the Jin State and the Western Xia give up? Therefore, there must be a battle between the three parties, and Weichen dares to conclude that the defeated side must be the Song State! ”

Li Yan's mind suddenly flashed the beginning and end of Jingkang's shame, how similar it was to Chen Hoop's analysis!

Chen Hoop said again: "If you give Yanyun to the Song Kingdom, there will be a great benefit. ”

Li Yan asked, "What are the great benefits?" ”

Chen hoop said: "You will occupy the righteousness. ”

Li Yan frowned slightly and said, "I will occupy the righteousness?" ”

Chen Hoop explained: "If you give up the war with the Song State because of more than 100 million Han people, and complete the Song Kingdom, the Han people all over the world will definitely admire you and sing your praises, and if the Han people fall into misery in the future, you will lead a large army to rescue them, and you will definitely win the hearts of the Han people, and the world will be decided!" ”

Li Yan listened, his eyes flashed, "In another three or four years, the shame of Jingkang will occur, and if I raise the army to kill it back at that time, it should be like what Chen Jingtong said, win the hearts of the Han people, and the world will be settled...... Take a step back and say, even if Zhao Ji suddenly becomes wise, works hard, and has always rejected the Jin State and Western Xia abroad, without the shame of Jingkang, how big is the world, I, Li Yan, have soldiers, ships, talents, and advanced weapons, can there still be no place to build a country? ”
