Small cannonballs are a dangerous weapon, Yue Fei has never seen it, but he has heard of it a long time ago. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At the beginning, Wan Yan Gao relied on small cannonballs and led a large army, and almost overthrew the rule of Wan Yan Wu Qimai. Moreover, it directly created the current weakening situation of the Jin country.

The state of Qi was invincible, and the 50,000-strong army attacked Zhao Shuo, Zhao Shuo relied on small cannonballs, not only held Shaanzhou and Chang'an, but also annihilated 50,000 horses and horses of the Qi army, and took Shangzhou and Luoyang.

In this era, small cannonballs can help to siege the city, and retreat can help defend the land and secure the people. It can be said that it is a necessary weapon for the army.

In view of this situation, Yue Fei's intelligence has also been paying attention to the movement of this weapon.

Zhao Shuo once sold it to Wan Yan Gao, and also sold it to Xia Guo. Even, in Yue Fei's intelligence, Zhao Shuo may have sold small cannonballs to the nomads in the north.

But Jin Guo, Yue Fei didn't guess it, and he didn't notice any clues.

Faced with Yan Zonghan's statement, Yue Fei's heart was full of doubts. If the Jin Kingdom really has a small cannonball, the Northern Expedition of the Yue Family Army will be more than auspicious. Relying solely on flesh and blood to fight against such weapons, Yue Fei didn't dare to imagine.

Will Zhao Shuo really sell the small cannonballs to Jin Guo? This formed a big question in Yue Fei's mind.

Zhao Shuo sold small cannonballs to Wan Yan Gao, which really weakened the Jin State, and he had been fighting against the Qi State, which was also indirectly weakening the Jin State. It can be said that Zhao Shuo and Jin Guo have always been in a state of hostility? With such a relationship, will Zhao Shuo sell the sharp weapon of small cannonballs to Jin Guo?

Yue Fei was silent in thought, Wanyan Zonghan had confidence in his heart, Yue Fei's state was what he wanted to see.

"Marshal Yue, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to ask King Song." Wanyan Zonghan opened his mouth and said. "The marshal has a good relationship with the king of Song, I think, the king of Song will not hide and deceive the marshal."

Yue Fei, who was contemplative, slowly turned his head and looked at Wan Yan Zonghan. "Even if King Song really sold small cannonballs to the Jin Kingdom, does the noble envoy think that I, Yue Fei, will not dare to go on a northern expedition?"

"Of course, the marshal can go on a northern expedition, but in that case, I am afraid that the worst outcome for both you and me will be, the Jin country may be destroyed, but the Yue family army will definitely be reduced to ashes and cease to exist." Wanyan Zonghan didn't hide anything this time, and said it directly. "We bought small cannonballs, not to deal with the Song State, but to prevent the nomads in the north from advancing eastward, so to speak, we bought small cannonballs this time for self-protection."

Yue Fei's brows moved slightly, and Yan Zonghan's words made him understand the reason why Zhao Shuo sold small cannonballs. Zhao Shuo wanted to keep the Jin Kingdom to contain the nomads in the north. But are the nomads of the north really that powerful? This point formed a question in Yue Fei's heart.

Yue Fei didn't speak, and Yan Zonghan continued. "The small cannonballs were for self-preservation, and were originally intended to be used against the nomads of the north. But what does self-preservation refer to, it is the life and death of the country, if the Yue family army goes on a northern expedition at this time, for the Jin country, it is life and death. What will happen then, I don't think Marshal Yue needs me to say anything. ”

Wanyan Zonghan nodded many times in secret, just to let Yue Fei recognize the current situation. The purchase of small cannonballs by the Jin State was not aimed at the Song State, but against the nomads in the north, but if Yue Fei insisted on the Northern Expedition, the Jin State would use small cannonballs if there was no way, and when the time came, after the two sides fought to the death, Yue Fei and his Yue family army would be wiped out, and the Jin State might also be destroyed, and neither of the two sides of the battle would get benefits.

"If the Yue family's army is dead, the Great Song Dynasty will still be another army." Yue Fei pondered for a long time and said such a sentence.

"The life or death of the two saints, Marshal Yue doesn't care?" Wanyan Zonghan asked.

"If you dare to do something to the two saints, I, Yue Fei, will never let you go!" Yue Fei clenched his fists, and his gaze suddenly became cold.

"Marshal, if my Jin Kingdom wants to do it, can the two saints survive until now?" Wanyan Zonghan felt that he had caught Yue Fei's weakness, and finally found the capital to negotiate.

"What do you want to say?" Yue Fei asked.

"Nothing? Before the two saints returned in the Jin Kingdom, Zhao Gou set up a temple number for them, and also tried his best to get rid of the son of Zhao Heng of Qinzong. In the Song army, only the marshal was bent on welcoming back the two saints, once the marshal was not there, I am afraid that the Song army defeated the Jin country, and the two saints would not end well. "Wanyan Zonghan looked at Yue Fei." Could this be the original intention of the Marshal Northern Expedition? ”

After hearing Yan Zonghan's words, Yue Fei was silent again.

"The marshal's slogan has always been 'Drive out the Tartars and welcome back the two saints'. Now our Jin army has returned all the captured territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and has also lost a large piece of land. It can be said that this time our Jin Kingdom is stealing chickens and rice, and the marshal's 'driving out the Tartars' has been realized. Speaking of this, Yan Zonghan changed his tone. The next thing is 'Welcome Back to the Two Saints', which we can also discuss, there is no need to fight to the death, and both sides will lose. ”

"Discuss?" Yue Fei thought for a moment and said. "What's the way to negotiate it?"

"The marshal is not in the Northern Expedition, we will return the two saints!" Wanyan Zonghan said in a deep voice.

"What about the rest of the princes and ministers, as well as the people of Limin?" Yue Fei asked.

"The two saints can be returned, and these people can naturally be too." Wanyan Zonghan said with a smile.

"Is that true?" Yue Fei asked.

"Of course!" Wanyan Zonghan laughed. "However, you can't put them all back at once, after all, Marshal Chen Bing's border may go on a northern expedition at any time, if we put these people back at one time, and the marshal will continue the Northern Expedition at that time, then my Jin country will lose home."

"Return the two saints first, and the rest of the people, return them slowly." Yue Fei put forward his own ideas.

"I'm afraid this won't work!" Wanyan Zonghan shook his head. "The two saints will be returned together, and we will lose the biggest weight in our hands."

After a pause, Yan Zonghan continued. "Marshal, do you think this will work, we will return the first saint first, and the rest of the people, we will return them all to the Song State in batches within ten years."

"Ten years!" Yue Fei took a deep breath, already understanding Yan Zonghan's plan. "Looks like you still don't believe me."

"Although the marshal is the commander of the first army, there is still an emperor above after all, if the Great Song Dynasty court lets the marshal pay a fine, can the marshal refuse?" Wanyan Zonghan chuckled. "Within ten years, we will fulfill our promise and return the hostages, and after ten years, if the Song Kingdom still wants to fight again, I will be the companion of Dajin."

Wanyan Zonghan wanted to rely on the hostages in his hands to buy ten years of development time for Jin Guo.

Speaking of this, Yue Fei pondered for a long time, in order to ensure the safety of the two saints, and for the goal of 'welcoming back the two saints' in his heart, he nodded and agreed with Yan Zonghan's words.
