Let's talk about it, how should we deal with the joint destruction of Jin invited by the Song Kingdom? ”

Wang Lun was the first to say: "The Song people have no faith, they have repeatedly broken the contract, it is not a sincere alliance, today it is deceived by the Jin country, so that Yanyun and the land of the Jin country are allowed to form an alliance with our Shuibo Liangshan, it will overcome this difficulty in the future, and it will seek the land of Yanyun, and the one who plots this is really the ambition of the wolf." ”

Xiao Jiasui said: "Qinzong is still like this to his father, let alone the king? This unsympathetic person is not enough to save. ”

Yue Fei said: "If we want Yanyun and the land of the Jin Kingdom, we can take it ourselves, why do we need the help of the Song army?" ”

Han Shizhong said: "The Song army is suspicious, the military orders are inconsistent, there is no reward for meritorious service, there is no punishment for mistakes, and the combat effectiveness is low. ”

Li Zhu said: "The golden land is barren, Yanyun fights four battles, if the king wants it, he wants the Central Plains, or the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, if the Song Emperor is willing to cede it, we have to send troops to Liangshan." ”

Chen hoop bucket said: "Your Excellency and stay in Zhenla County for a while, the Jin people have gained a huge harvest this time, and they have retreated with their whole body, and they have already gained sweetness, and they will definitely invade the Song State again, and when the Song Kingdom is devastated by the Jin people, it is not too late for the King to consider whether to rescue." ”

As the governance of Zhenla and other counties unfolded, Chen Kangbo was also transferred by Li Yan to serve as Wang Lun's deputy, ensuring that all the important Indochina Peninsula was owned by Shuibo Liangshan, and also ensuring that Wang Lun would not breed undue ambitions.

Chen Kangbo hesitated for a moment and said, "After all, the Song people are of the same species as us......

Without waiting for Chen Kangbo to finish speaking, Wang Lun said: "No, between countries, how can you be righteous and angry?" And the king raised the army to rescue him at this time, the Song people will not be grateful, and they will guard against the king like a thief, why bother? ”

Lou Minzhong also said: "What Governor Wang said is good, the Song people are not in a desperate situation, they will not be grateful to the king for sending troops, but will only feel that the king is taking advantage of the danger of others and taking advantage of the fire to rob." ”

Xi Changshi (Fujiwara Changshi) said in Chinese, which is not too fluent: "Although the territory of the Song Kingdom is good, this land in Central and South China is not bad, the key is that the situation in Central and South China has been opened, and Weichen feels that it is still necessary to focus on Central and South China, and completely incorporate Central and South into the territory of our Shuibo Liangshan, and it is not too late to map the Central Plains." ”

Li Dashi (Yelu Dashi) said: "The Sais, the Kushans, the Huns, the Sada and the Gugala and other ethnic groups, as well as the Sabbatarians and Greeks, moved to the Western Heaven in large numbers, destroyed the Gupta Dynasty built by the Indians, and then established more than a dozen small countries such as the Chalouqi of Vataibi, the Rashitrakuta, and the Chalouqi of Kaliani, etc., these dozen or so small countries are constantly fighting with each other, and the military ability is low, your lordship, you can send troops to attack the Western Heaven Kingdoms after occupying the Indochina Peninsula, and then go north......"

Li Yan was very clear about Yelu Dashi's purpose.

The reason why Yelu Dashi strongly persuaded Li Yan to conquer India was because he wanted to fight back from India to their homeland of Liao.

The idea, while a bit fanciful, is not absolutely impossible.

Just as Yelu Dashi said, India is now divided into more than a dozen small countries, and if the Liangshan army gives up attacking the Central Plains and transfers all the troops here, it is likely to pacify Indochina and India in a short time.

After that, Yelu Dashi will definitely incite Li Yan to attack Ghaznavid, and then attack the Eastern Karakhanate, and then Yelu Dashi's goal will be achieved, and the forces of Shuibo Liangshan can basically be connected with the remnants of the Liao State.

To be honest, Yelu Dashi's idea is actually quite tempting, and there is a certain possibility of success.

Here in the Indochina Peninsula, Shuibo Liangshan can almost be said to have no opponents, if the more than 300,000 troops in Liaodong are transferred, they should be able to capture the entire Indochina Peninsula in a year and a half at most, and then the Liangshan army can advance and pounce on India by land and water.

The military level of those small countries in India is not as good as here in Indochina, and if it were not for the Brahmin fetters in the Khmer country, it is likely that Indochina and India would have been pacified long ago.

Therefore, if the Liangsan army, which easily defeated the Khmer State, was sent to India, it would have a high chance of unifying India.

Neither the Ghaznavid nor the Eastern Qarakhanid were great powers.

In the previous life, the Western Liao of Yelu Dashi had annexed the Eastern Qarakhanid State, and even the Western Qarakhanid State, and defeated the Ghaznavid Dynasty several times.

Once this place is opened, Shuibo Liangshan will border the remnants of the Liao State, and then you can fight back backwards, and then destroy the Western Xia and return to the Central Plains.

But—

After Li Yan thought about it carefully, he still gave up Yelu Dashi's idea.

Yes, Yelu Dashi's idea is a bit interesting.

But there's too much fluke here.

First of all, there should be no problem here in the Indochina Peninsula - the strength of the remaining countries, Shuibo Liangshan has already figured out, as long as the troops are sufficient, they should be able to conquer them.

Again, the problem lies primarily with India.

It's not that India's dozen or so small countries are not easy to fight, but India's geographical location is too annoying.

India is bordered by the Himalayas to the north, the Western Ghats to the south, and the Eastern Ghats to the right.

The point is that India has an east-west Vendya mountain range and an east-west Narmada River, which divides India in two.

In addition, the coastline on the left side of South India is too short to be inhabitable, and only the middle and right sides are suitable for development, and these two parts are also divided in two by the Eastern Ghats, which cannot form a unity.

In short, until later generations, India was also divided into three major political modules of North India, South and Central India, and Southeast India because of its special topography, and could not form a complete and unified centralized power - several great unifications in Indian history, such as the Mauryan Dynasty and the Gupta Dynasty, were actually only nominally unified India, and did not actually unify India.

India has been invaded in history, like the Persians, Huns, Mongols, and British, but they have not been able to completely occupy this place.

Therefore, India can only be colonized here, and it is impossible to fully incorporate it into the territory.

The special geographical environment of India was only one of the reasons why Li Yan did not approve of Yelu Dashi's vision.

After all, as long as you subdue the dozen or so small states of India, or even not all of them, you can use the channel to attack the Ghaznavid Dynasty and the Eastern Qarakhanid.

The real reason why Li Yan disagrees with Yelu Dashi's idea is actually two other reasons: one is that in this way, the battle line is too long, which is often an important national element of defeat, throughout the ages, there are too many big battles because the battle line is too long and defeated by the enemy, and although the Liangshan army can fight, it also relies heavily on logistics, so once it does this, the Liangshan army is likely to face an unbearable defeat. The other is that Li Yan will never give up the Central Plains and come here to expand his territory, especially if he has the opportunity to enter the Central Plains.

Therefore, after listening to Yelu Dashi's long strategic concept, Li Yan said: "The rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step, now that the Indochina Peninsula does not completely belong to our Shuibo Liangshan, how can we go to plot the Western Heaven Kingdoms?" Aiqing thought too far. Then he motioned to Yelu Dashi to step back for the time being and speak for someone else.

Seeing this, a trace of unwillingness flashed in Yelu Dashi's eyes, and then he became firm again, and then retreated honestly......
