Chapter 744: The Jin Dynasty Heading for the Fall
In the east, there is a border between Gu Xifeng and Chen Bing, a 200,000-strong army of Guangwu, which directly puts invisible pressure on the entire Liaodong of Baishan and Black Water.
And now there are more than 100,000 troops of the Western Liao in the north crossing the grassland, directly confronting the Mongolian tribes, and the rest of the five grasslands are only watching from the wall, and even more have already gathered together with the Liao soldiers and soldiers, intending to share a piece of the pie in the war together.
As a result, the Jin State, which was already weak, gradually tended to be passively paralyzed, and the Great Song Dynasty Third Route Army went all the way north, and it only took a few months to directly attack Hejian Mansion.
In the face of such a precarious situation, Wanyan Yunzhong finally reluctantly made concessions and sent envoys to the Song army camp in the hope of making peace with the Song court.
Wu Ting, as the commander-in-chief of strategy, can not be subject to the king's order for the dispatch of military power, but he still can't make decisions about such military affairs, so he personally wrote a military intelligence chapter and sent it to Bianjing, waiting for Ye Yu to personally decide this matter!
Wu Ting's military intelligence chapter soon arrived in the capital, and Ye Yu also consulted everyone on this matter at the court meeting.
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, since the Jin State intends to seek peace, it is better for my Celestial Empire to sit down and negotiate peace with it, or we can get benefits without using swords and soldiers, so it is the fundamental ...... of the country to stop the war and restore the people's strength."
"What Lord Liu said is extremely true, in the past, peace talks with the Jin State could not be reached, but there was a trace of illusion in the barbarian state, and now my Celestial Dynasty army has enough bargaining chips to attack the Hejian Mansion!"
"Your Majesty takes the world as the ...... of the year"
Listening to the advice of these lords and courtiers, Ye Yu sneered: "Thinking of the common people in the world, your family is really high-spirited, and you brought such a hat to me in advance, if I don't agree, will I become the king of the country in your mouth?" ”
"Don't dare!"
"Don't dare? That's a whisper! ”
Ye Yu glanced at Jiang Fu, who was speechless, and then said: "It is true that I have been fighting for many years, and it is not false to lose people's strength. ”
"Now, although the Jurchens have been defeated one after another, the hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, how can it be said that there is no threat to our dynasty? If the foundation of the ancestors has not been recovered, how can the swords and guns be put into the warehouse, and the horses can be put into Nanshan?? ”
"But...... Although the kingdom is great, the belligerent will perish, Your Majesty, this is ......"
Jiang Fu, who had been silent for a long time, finally said such a famous sentence for the ages, but as soon as the words came out, he was blocked by Ye Yu on the spot: "However, although the world is safe, it will be dangerous to forget the war!" ”
"This ......"
"Besides, my Great Song Dynasty has been repeatedly harassed by foreign countries, let alone the world is peaceful? Get a small favor and get carried away, this is the way to govern the country!? ”
“……”
"Will also take advantage of the victory to chase the poor, not to sell the name of the overlord, the Jin people have been defeated in our dynasty one after another, just take this opportunity to raise troops to the north, and the world will never be troubled! If they recuperate with you, won't the Jurchens recuperate? The opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come again, is it wrong to exchange the sacrifice of the moment for the eternal peace!? ”
"Your Majesty is wise, and everything he says is reasonable, but the Jurchens have been defeated repeatedly, but our dynasty has also lost countless soldiers, horses, money and food, and the price paid is huge...... And the Jurchens, the border and the lowly, should be broad, if they are in a hurry, they will only fight if they are afraid of the beast being poor, and the gains outweigh the losses. Now, there is no mortal threat to Beiyi in me, and if I dethrone the army again, I am afraid it will not be the right way! ”
"Jiang Qing, you are a well-educated person, don't you know the truth that the evil is inexhaustible, and the future is endless? Moreover, this withdrawal of troops to strike the war and recuperate with the people is just wishful thinking on your part, how do you know that the Jurchens are willing? Since Aiqing regards it as a barbarian, how can he be honest and credible about the barbarian peace talks!? ”
This sentence immediately stopped Jiang Fu and others, because this itself was digging a pit and burying himself.
"At the beginning of my ascension to the throne, I once announced to the world that I would not only inherit the will of my ancestors, expel Beiyi, and return my rivers and mountains, but also not just look down on the palm-sized territory of my ancestors, but those who do not submit to the Great Song Dynasty will have one clan and one nation will destroy another, and one country will destroy another!"
"Hiss......"
When it comes to this, all the advice and advice are already useless, because Ye Yu's words today have already revealed his potential ambition.
Originally, they just thought that this battle to cross the river was just to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, but now it seems that this is just the beginning......
After everyone was speechless, Ye Yu issued an order to the front line: do not accept peace talks, and continue to go north to destroy Jin!
……
Just when the battle of Song and Jin was in full swing, the Western Liao also made remarkable achievements on the grassland battlefield, blocking the already not powerful Mongol tribes directly north of the Nan River.
The nomads still need the nomads to rectify it, otherwise if the Song army goes deep into the grassland, I am afraid that the million army will also return in vain.
When the Mongols could not be called the Mongols, there was a clamoring for the Jin State, and later the Jin Emperor Wanyan in order to show punishment, so he successively dispatched two famous generals to lead more than 100,000 troops into the grassland to exterminate them.
As a result, they returned in vain twice, but they were beaten to the ground, one of the two famous generals was Wanyan Zongbi, the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, that is, the golden vulture in Yue Fei's biography!
Imagine a famous general who had a wisp of achievements on the battlefield of the Song Dynasty, and led more than 100,000 troops to be beaten to ashes, in the final analysis, it was because he was not familiar with the geographical environment of the grassland.
The victory of the Western Liao army in the grassland directly put lethal pressure on the Jin State in the north, which further promoted the inability of the Jin State on the military battlefield.
The Song army's four-way army was equipped with advanced firearms, and the speed of its northward advance terrified the Jin government and the public.
Therefore, the defense area of the Jin army also began to shrink further, and finally it was only centered on the central capital Daxingfu, including the surrounding Zhuozhou, Xiongzhou, Bazhou, Qingzhou, Shunzhou, Tongzhou, Jizhou and other seven or eight prefectures and counties.
The total number of soldiers and horses was about 80,000, and the rest of the country was completely abandoned.
At the same time, a considerable number of officials, generals and troops of the Jin State, especially some officials who were unwilling to return to Shangjing (the old base area), defected to the camp of the Song army.
The Jurchens have always boasted that they are Chinese orthodoxy and are the descendants of the descendants of Yan and Huang, so these people who defected were willing to accept Sinicization.
In fact, they themselves have been sinicized, and most of the officials of the Jin State are Han, so there is no sense of disobedience for them.
Song Jun is also good at opening the mountain gate, and he does not refuse to come, and he cares about other farmers, industry and commerce, and all the three religions and nine streams are accepted. As long as you are willing to accept sinicization, those who are willing to submit are the good people of the Great Song Dynasty.
The situation in the Kingdom of Jin was already precarious, and many people rebelled in the war, resulting in chaos in the whole of China.
The chaos was a great opportunity for the activities of the spy personnel of the Great Song Dynasty.
Espionage, this industry has existed since ancient times, and it is even divided into civil, military, bright and dark. In this industry, it is obvious that Ye Yu is at the forefront of history at the moment.
There are less than 100,000 troops left in the capital, and there are still a lot of grain and grass materials, which cannot be concealed from the spies who infiltrated the city.
After a group of Song troops landed, these news reached Wu Ting's ears, and after some analysis, the conclusion was very obvious: Wanyan Yunzhong began to prepare to abandon Zhongdu and retreat to the Shangjing area.
