The Western Xia was forced by the Song army and shook the high-level of the Jin State, so that the high-level of the Jin State realized the hidden crisis in the southward strategy, the Song army has gradually recovered from the initial battle and rout, if the Song army continues to recover, the southward strategy of the Jin State is likely to encounter tough resistance, and the high-level of the Jin State unanimously believes that the signs of the recovery of the Song army must be quickly stifled.

After three days of intensive consultations, the Emperor of the Jin State finally made a decision to change the original plan of the Jin State to two years of recuperation to one year, and advanced the southward campaign to this winter.

The Jin State summoned nearly 200,000 troops of Jurchen, Khitan, Bohai, Goryeo and other tribes, and mobilized 150,000 Han troops from Yanshan and Hebei Han, a total of 35 major armies, falsely claiming that the 500,000 army launched a southward offensive.

Emperor Wanyan Xian was also the marshal of the capital, preparing to divide the troops into three ways to attack the Song Dynasty, with Wanyan Lou Room as the chief general of the Western Route Army leading an army of 80,000 to attack northern Shaanxi and Guanzhong, Wanyan Zonghan as the chief general of the Middle Route Army, also leading an army of 80,000 to attack the Central Plains, Wanyan Zongwang as the chief general of the East Route Army, and also led an army of 80,000 to attack Shandong.

Wan Yan Xian also led an army of 100,000 to sit in Yanshan Mansion, commanding and supporting the attack of the three-way army at any time.

The Jin soldiers' three-way army, which took Taiyuan Prefecture, Xiangzhou and Daimyo Mansion as logistics hubs, sounded the horn of the southward movement after the Yellow River froze.

In the Dongning Palace of Yanshan Mansion, the emperor's younger brother Wan Yan Xian also stood in front of a huge wooden map and pondered, the map was carved by hundreds of craftsmen with wood for a year, which was very visual and intuitive, but it was a pity that it was only made to the Yangtze River line, but even so, the entire wood carving has occupied most of the room.

Wan Yan Xian is also very aware of the situation of the Song Dynasty, at present, the little emperor Zhao Gou of Lin'an ordered Li Yanqing, Zong Ze, and Li Gang to sit in Shaanxi, the Central Plains and Shandong.

Zong Ze has been preparing for the war in the Central Plains for nearly a year, and he is relatively well prepared, while Li Yanqing has just defeated the Western Xia, and his morale is booming, and the West Route Army is the most difficult hard bone to gnaw.

"What does General Guo think?" Wan Yan Xian also asked Guo Yaoshi next to him.

Guo Yaoshi is currently serving as the guard of Yanshan, but his military power has been taken away by Wan Yan Xian, Guo Yaoshi has actually been hollowed out, and occasionally Wan Yan Xian will also be invited to ask about the military, but most of the time in the mansion to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, waste time.

Wan Yan Xian also distrusts this capricious general from the bottom of his bones, betrays Liao and Song, and he will betray Jin one day.

Although Guo Yaoshi was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to show anything, he lowered his head and said: "The humble position suggests that the main attack is on the east road, if Zong Ze rescues Shandong, the army can go directly south to the Central Plains and capture Bianliang in one fell swoop, as for the western road, the humble position suggests that the troops be divided into two ways to fight." ”

"How do you divide your troops into two ways to fight?" Wan Yan Xian also asked with interest.

"The humble position suggested that all the way to attack Yan'an Mansion to form a pressure to the south, forcing the Song army in Guanzhong not to dare to act rashly, and the other way to cross the Yellow River from Mengjin, raid Luoyang, and cut off Hangu Pass, so that the Song Dynasty's western army could not rescue the Central Plains."

"What about Mr. Liang's opinion?" After Yan agreed, he asked Liang Fangping next to him.

Liang Fangping is currently an important staff member of Wanyan Xianye, and he gives advice to Wanyan Xianye from the perspective of the Han people, which can often make Wanyan Xianye suddenly, so he is also deeply valued by Wanyan Xianye.

"The lowly post agrees with General Guo's suggestion in principle, but there are two points to be added to the lowly position, please consider it."

"Sir, please!"

Liang Fangping said: "At present, the strongest army of the Song army is the Western Army, and it is recommended that the Western Army be added to the army, at least to 120,000 troops, in order to fully suppress the Western Army, this is one of them, and the second is that the attack should be combined with the real and the virtual, not blindly by force to solve, must consider the long-term, sometimes the strategy is used properly, it can be worth 100,000 male soldiers." ”

Wan Yanxie's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Presumably Mr. should already be confident." ”

Liang Fangping smiled slightly, and whispered a few words to Wan Yan Xian, who also nodded again and again, "It's really a clever plan!" ”

Wan Yan Xian also took a few steps with his hands down, and then turned around and asked, "Who do you think is the most suitable person to be this lobbyist?" ”

Liang Fangping smiled faintly, "I think Qin Hui is the most suitable!" ”

.........

In the two negotiations between the Song Dynasty and the Jin State, Qin Hui and Zhang Bangchang were detained by the Jin soldiers during the first negotiation, and for more than a year, the two have been under house arrest in Yanshan Mansion with the Emperor Zhao Ji, while the other emperor, Zhao Huan, was sent to Huanglong Mansion, the old capital of the Jin State, to be placed under house arrest.

In the afternoon of the same day, Qin Hui was taken to Dongning Palace, after more than a year of detention, Qin Hui looked quite haggard, he was responsible for serving the soldiers who raised horses, he couldn't eat or sleep well, the whole person lost a lot of weight, long-term malnutrition, so that he had a dish on his face, he walked to Wan Yan Xian and saluted, "See Marshal Du!" ”

Wan Yan also glanced at him and said, "Did Mr. Liang tell you?" ”

Qin Hui sighed and nodded silently, just now Liang Fangping told him that Marshal Du was going to pick one person between him and Zhang Bangchang and put him back in the Song Dynasty, and in the future, the Jin State would give full support to him and make him the spokesperson for the interests of the Jin State in the Song Dynasty.

Liang Fangping also clearly told him that this was his only chance, and if he refused, Zhang Bangchang would go south, and he would be sent to Huanglong Mansion to accompany Zhao Huan, and he would never have the opportunity to return to China again.

Of course, Qin Hui knew what the so-called spokesperson for interests meant, but he hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed, he couldn't bear the loneliness of being imprisoned, and he couldn't bear the double torture of spirit and body, he dreamed of returning home, surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines, with brocade clothes and jade food, and he could sit in a warm study in the cold winter season, instead of cleaning up the frozen feces and urine with his bare hands.

Wan Yan also said: "Since you agreed, where is the name?" ”

Next to a Jin soldier handed over the letter of nomination written by Qin Hui to Wan Yan Xianye, the so-called letter of nomination is Qin Hui's confession, he volunteered to be the spokesperson for the interests of the Jin State, served the interests of the Jin State in the Great Song Dynasty, and signed the pledge, if Qin Hui once repented, the Jin State will make it public to the world, so that Qin Hui is ruined, this is Qin Hui's handle, so that he does not dare to have two hearts.

Wan Yan Xian also took the petition and read it, nodded with satisfaction, and asked, "Then what help do you need?" ”

Qin Hui hesitated and said: "I want to see the Emperor Taishang, if I can get the Emperor's edict, I can stand in the court." ”

"Yes, you can go see him today!"

..........

Emperor Zhao Ji was also placed under house arrest in Dongning Palace, he was placed under house arrest in the northwest corner of the palace, where the original Liao Palace's stables were located, living in the courtyard where the original groom lived, covering an area of only half an acre, a study, a bedroom, and a living room, and a subordinate house, an old woman of Liao was responsible for taking care of his daily life, and then there was a very small courtyard, and an old locust tree was planted in the corner of the yard.

Zhao Ji sat in the study every day, and then walked around the courtyard, the books and the four treasures of the study had to be exchanged for his own money, Wan Yan Xian also liked his calligraphy and painting, so he let him use calligraphy and painting in exchange for his favorite books and pen, ink and paper.

Qin Hui walked into the courtyard, but saw that the Emperor Taishang was squatting in the corner of the wall looking at something with relish, Qin Hui was suddenly startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, "Weichen see His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"Oh! It's Qin Sheren, it's very interesting for these two groups of ants to fight, this black-headed general can't beat the bare-headed marshal. ”

Qin Hui was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, the dignified Emperor Taishang actually squatted in the corner of the wall to watch the ants fight, and he said cautiously: "Weichen has something to find Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Ji caught a glimpse of Qin Hui holding a package in his hand, and he didn't care about watching the ants fight, so he hurriedly asked, "What's in the package?" ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor Qi, it's a little rice paper!"

Zhao Ji was overjoyed immediately, stepped forward to take the package, and praised repeatedly: "Good!" Good! I finally have paper to work with. ”

Zhao Ji didn't care, he walked quickly to the study with the package, and Qin Hui had to get up and follow.

Zhao Ji's study is very simple, a large table, a chair, a bookshelf against the wall, dozens of books are scattered in it, the walls are mottled and peeled, revealing the soil inside, there is a brazier in the corner of the house, and it is not too cold in the study.

Zhao Ji spread out a piece of paper with great interest, ready to write a few words, Qin Hui couldn't help but say again: "Weichen is going back to the Great Song Dynasty tomorrow, does Your Majesty have anything to say to Weichen to bring to the official family?" ”

Zhao Ji was stunned, his expression gradually became depressed, and he said after a while: "You go back and tell Jiulang, let him love the people well and be a good emperor, and then tell him that life should be frugal and military spending should not be stingy." ”

After a pause, Zhao Ji said again: "Let him negotiate with Jin Ren as soon as possible, and let me go back to retire as soon as possible." ”

"If Your Majesty wants to go back, I'm afraid you must first correct the name of the official family."

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Ji asked a little unhappily.

"Your Majesty, the official family has not yet been approved by His Majesty since he ascended the throne, if His Majesty recognizes the official emperor as soon as possible, I believe that the official family will actively find a way to rescue His Majesty and return."

Zhao Ji sneered, "You mean that if I don't approve of his accession to the throne, he doesn't care about me as a father?" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen said from the bottom of his heart, only Weichen can understand His Majesty's hardships, and he sincerely hopes that His Majesty will return as soon as possible."

After a long time, Zhao Ji sighed, "That's it!" I'll write a handwritten message, and you can bring it back to him!" ”
