Song valve text]——

Whether you have the ability or not, you have to if you occupy the pit. Since he became the right prime minister and came to power, the first thing he had to face was the Song and Jin war situation. The Central Plains region has been lost, from Wuyan Puluhun down, hundreds of thousands of Jin Army soldiers have been wiped out, how to clean up this mess? More importantly, the south will definitely not be satisfied with just recovering the Central Plains, and there will definitely be further actions after that, how to deal with it?

The general opinion in the Jin court was to make peace. First of all, the Southern Dynasty is not what it used to be, and the rapid increase in its military strength is obvious to all. In the south, there are Zheyanzhi, Han Chenzhong, and Yue Fei, and there is a purple tiger in the northwest, no one is a fuel-efficient lamp; Secondly, the Dajin Kingdom has indeed consumed a lot over the years. I think that when the army was raised against Liao and attacked the Song Dynasty, the nv real people simply swept the D-NG world with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, why did they fight so smoothly at that time? A very important reason is that at that time, the NV real army was fighting to feed the war, and the battle and plunder were carried out at the same time. At that time, the Jin army was an armed robbery group, and what such an army was most afraid of was that it fought hard for a long time, and the result was nothing.

It is precisely for this reason that now the real warriors of the NV do not want to fight, including the Bohai people, who have the most iron relationship with the real people, and they are also tired of the endless, worthless war. But you don't want to fight and don't fight? What stands at your feet is other people's land, can people not think about it day and night?

Therefore, it is necessary to make peace. But when it comes to the situation of peace and scoring, if the enemy is evenly matched, it is called peace, and if the enemy is strong and I am weak, it is called peace, although it has not been smooth in recent years, they will never admit that Song Qiang and Jin are weak, at most they are just evenly matched. Therefore, we cannot seek peace with the Southern Dynasties, but can only force peace, and the so-called forced peace, that is, we can make peace only if we dare to fight.

What does this mean? The Southern Dynasties will definitely not be satisfied with recovering the Central Plains and Tokyo, and their next goal, you don't need to guess, to know that eighty percent is Shandong. Shandong is really not very good in feng shui in these years, before the Song and Jin wars, Shandong was already "full of bandits", and after the war, it became a place of inadequacy.

Therefore, the Jin army's forces in the region were already weak, and it was impossible to prevent the Song army from recovering Shandong, with its current strength alone. Wan Yan Liang then suggested that the strong soldiers from the Yanyun region should be transferred to Shandong to fight, and it would be best for everyone to sit down at the negotiating table to discuss. Emperor Jin agreed to this plan and ordered Wan Yan Liang to take full responsibility for dealing with it. The latter moved quickly, immediately transferred troops to strengthen Shandong's defense, and waited to see who would touch the nail.

However, it is not enough to strengthen the defense, and if we want to win back a game in the Shandong battlefield, we must have a strong commander to take command. Thinking that at the beginning of the Dajin Kingdom's army, it was really like a cloud, not to mention any sticky Han, Jie Libu, Lou Su, Yinshuke and others, just take out a commander of ten thousand people, which is more than enough to deal with the Song army. But today, these veterans are old and dead, and it is not that there are no means to get up later, but there are really few people who can put their hearts in their stomachs.

After thinking about it, Wan Yanliang listened to the advice of the courtiers, transferred a person to Shandong, granted the exclusive authority, and demanded that the morale of the southern army be severely damaged. This person is Xu Wei's "old friend", Yelu Mawu. Ma Wu is definitely capable of fighting in the camp of the Jin Army. Just kidding, can someone who dares to give Xu Wei a flail be a soft egg? It's just that Ma Wu is unlucky, because of the problem of factions, he has been idle for many years, and he has to be activated recently, and after a few battles, he can't count the value of the famous generals of the Jin Ying. Jin Ting's recruitment, he also attached great importance to it, and rushed to Shandong to arrange defense as quickly as possible, he thought about a question, who would come to attack the boundary of Shandong? Orihiko quality? Han Shizhong? Or Yue Fei? The names of these three people, he had heard of them, were all the generals in the Song army, and they should not be underestimated.

Yelu Mawu probably never imagined that his opponent would be the old man of the current Great Song Dynasty......

Soon after Ma Wu arrived in Shandong, Hangzhou also began to prepare for the recovery of Qilu. Whether it is Xu Liu, who is in power, or Emperor Zhao Jin, they are very concerned about this matter. Xu Liu's heart was because if Shandong was recovered, then the Great Song Dynasty would completely expel the forces of the Song Dynasty across the Yellow River. And Hedong has his cousin, basically there is no problem, and the focus of Song and Jin contention in the future is in Hebei; Zhao Guan's family was interested because they were anxious to fulfill their promise to the queen, and they were looking forward to the old father-in-law recovering Shandong and making him a county king.

Of course, Liu Guangguo himself was more concerned, with such a great contribution to the recovery of the Central Plains, he didn't even get promoted by half a level, so he sent a Huainan Xuanfu envoy, and he didn't even "dispose of", which made him very unconvinced. But if he is not convinced, he also knows that it is Xu Liang who is speaking in the court now, and the people have already put the conditions out, and they want to be crowned king and recover Shandong

In Liu Guangguo's view, recovering Shandong is a piece of cake. The Song army has just recovered the Central Plains, and its morale is like a rainbow, and with the courage to take advantage of the battle, is it not easy to capture Shandong? Therefore, as soon as the imperial court ordered, he reorganized the troops, and the Huaixi Army was reorganized into the Shenwu Left Army, mobilized grain and grass, packed up the equipment, and just waited for it to be opened.

Because this operation was a continuation of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, the scale was not large. Those who were tasked with recovering Shandong were not even all of the Huaixi Army, only the descendants of the two brothers Liu Guangguo and Liu Guangyuan, excluding Li Xianzhong's troops, and less than 40,000 horse infantry troops. The original plan was to launch an attack in late March, but Liu Guangguo could not wait that long, and at the end of February, he went to the imperial court to ask for troops. The words are very big, to recover the entire territory of Qilu, and the enemy chief is dedicated to the emperor.

Perhaps encouraged by the victory of the Northern Expedition, the DPRK and China were generally optimistic about Liu Guangguo, and Xu Liu also thought that it was not a big problem, so he agreed to his advance.

Xingyuan Mansion, Xu Wei changed the title of King of Wuwei County, and the edict came down, but the plaque of "Dongguan County Palace" in his official residence has not had time to be changed. In fact, the brand doesn't matter what it is, with his status in Sichuan and Shaanxi today, it is to hang the grass on M-N, who dares not to take this place seriously?

Zijin Tiger has presided over the military and political affairs of Sichuan and Shaanxi for many years, and Shaanxi is his foundation, so he naturally manages it painstakingly, and his power penetrates into all aspects. Even in Sichuan, where needles did not enter and water could not enter, he also sent a few henchmen to take up important positions. After returning from the expedition, he pondered that the major policies of the Sichuan-Shaanxi region had to change.

In fact, the fact that the Western Army went out this time, with loud thunder and small raindrops, already illustrated a problem. In the future, the likelihood of a large-scale battle is not very high, at least in the short term. Although the cousin who was the prime minister often wrote letters, saying that he would mention the two rivers as the goal of the next stage, Xu Jiu did not think so. Another war may be about to begin.
