194 Going North, Going South (4)
In the end, the Jin people still made representations to the Great Song Dynasty on the grounds of Guo Yaoshi and his "resentful army", asking the Song side to hand over Guo Yaoshi and his resentful army, which made Guo Yaoshi feel a little relieved that Song showed a firm attitude this time - the Yanyun region finally had a capable army, and Guo Yaoshi must not be handed over, and Emperor Huizong personally instructed Cai You, the highest military and political governor in the Yanyun area, to exchange other Khitans or Xi people in the Yanyun area with the Jin.
But this time, the tried and tested tricks seemed to have lost their effect, the Jin people bit Guo Yaoshi and did not relax, Zhao Liangsi personally rushed to the Yanyun area to negotiate with the Jin people, but there was no result, and asked to go to the Huanglong Mansion to meet Yan Wu begging to buy, but the Jin people sternly refused, and the Jin people set a deadline, if Guo Yaoshi and his resentful army were not handed over before June of the seventh year of Xuanhe, all the consequences would be borne by the Song side.
Zhao Liangsi returned to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo in fear to report to Emperor Huizong, and raised his worries - if Guo Yaoshi and his resentful army were not handed over, the Jin people would definitely find provocations to start a war, and our army was inferior to the Jin people, so it was not a blessing for the Great Song Dynasty to start a war rashly.
Song Zhao, a court official, objected in a letter, saying that Guo Yaoshi is a local Han of Yanyun, and he is well aware of Yanyun's geography and people's feelings, and is an indispensable helper for the Great Song Dynasty to control Yanyun.
What's more, if the Jin people are intent on waging war against the Great Song Dynasty and handing over Guo Yaoshi, it will only boost the strength of the Jin people and reduce our own help, but the plan now is to reuse Guo Yaoshi, strengthen Yanyun's armament, and beware of the Jin people going south to fight at any time, their combat effectiveness must be guarded against, we must make full use of Yanyun's terrain, fight a good defensive operation, and block the war out of the country, because Hebei has absolutely no power to stop the Jin people from going south.
Emperor Huizong recognized Song Zhao's insight this time, and did not want to make any brain-opening decisions, I am afraid that this time he himself understands that if he loses Guo Yaoshi and the resentful army, then they will definitely become the help of the Jin people to go south, rather than being an enemy, it is better to use it yourself, it is more comfortable to use it yourself, and maybe you can win the battle.
Emperor Huizong did not think that he would be defeated at this time, at least not so badly, the mainstream opinion in the Song court was that the Jin people had just defeated the Khitans, and occupying the Khitan land and tens of millions of people were already snakes swallowing elephants, and there was absolutely no spare strength to deal with the Great Song Dynasty again.
Hearing this opinion, Emperor Huizong nodded happily and continued to toss his Huashi Gang, while the few ministers in the court had sad faces, and they were vaguely aware that the mainstream consciousness seemed to ignore something.
They ignored the determination and greed of the Jurchens!
When the people who knew and had a premonition were not ready, when the people who didn't know were still drunk and dreaming and enjoying life, in August of the seventh year of Xuanhe, there was a secret report from Yanyun that the Jin people were massing troops on a large scale on the border of Song and Jin, which did not seem to be good news.
In September of the seventh year of Xuanhe, news came from the northern intelligence network from Liaodong that most of the upper-level figures of the Jin State had gathered in Huanglongfu, and all the main generals of the Western Expeditionary Army were concentrated in Huanglongfu, and the other important generals from all over the country were also on their way to Huanglongfu, and the situation seemed to be deteriorating.
At the beginning of October of the seventh year of Xuanhe, 100,000 urgent information came from the northern intelligence network, and the Emperor of Jin seemed to have appeared in Huanglong Mansion, and an intelligence officer who had a good relationship with the middle-level general of Jin and pretended to be a wine merchant learned important information from the mouth of the middle-level general - the Emperor of Jin seemed to secretly issue an edict to start a war against the Great Song Dynasty, but he did not know the specific situation.
At the end of October of the seventh year of Xuanhe, there was information again, and many generals of the Jin State who had gathered in Huanglong Mansion seemed to be rushing to various places, and the specific location was divided into two parts, one to the west and the other to the east, as if there was a suspicion of strategic preparations.
At the beginning of November of the seventh year of Xuanhe, accurate information came from the Yanyun area again, and several intelligence officers from Yanyun Han who had a personal relationship with the generals of the Jin army learned that the emperor of the Jin State had issued an edict to declare war on the Great Song Dynasty at the end of October, and the official letter of state was already in the process of marching, and the three flying eagles in a row passed the book so that everyone had to believe that this situation was true, and when Fang Hao handed the three important information to Yue Tuo with a pale face, he was surprised to find that Yue Tuo was already full of beard and his eyes were red.
From the time he received the first information on the gathering of troops in the Jin Kingdom in June of the seventh year of Xuanhe, Yue Chuan already knew that all this was irreversible, he guessed the beginning, affected the process, but did not change the ending in the end, is there any difference between this ending and that ending? In June of the seventh year of Xuanhe, the Great Song Dynasty rejected Jin Guo's request for Guo Yaoshi, which had already given Jin Guo a reason to declare war, and the previous Zhang Jue incident was still a fuse, who knows if this matter will become another reason for declaring war?
Da Song made his own death, kept dying, he had no reason to declare war, but the Jin people were full of reasons for declaring war, and he had died professionally for 30 years, and Da Song was really enough......
The irretrievable beginning of the great era, began his magnificent and heart-rending journey, no one can avoid it, no one can stop it, the entire land of China, from the south to the been, from the west to the east, no one can escape this catastrophe, this is a great catastrophe, an unprecedented catastrophe.
But who knew that with a little more, a little more subtle variables, this catastrophe would not turn into a great opportunity?
No one can change this catastrophe, but some people can know the cause and process of this catastrophe and how it ended, some people know that this catastrophe was wrong from the beginning, and some people know where this catastrophe will lead the entire land of Shenzhou and where it will go, and where it will lead the entire Han nation.
Yue Flip hasn't shaved for more than ten days, although he is only a little over eighteen years old, but the long beard is something that every man who enters adolescence will have, and there will be no accidents, what kind of experience is it to not shave for more than ten days, everyone also knows that anyway, Fang Hao is about to not recognize this Yue Flip is the previous Yue Flip, as if it is another Yue Flip, another Yue Flip who has nothing to do with the previous one, and is full of decadent atmosphere.
Sitting slumped in front of the table, the table was full of information about Song Jin's imminent war, full of despair and warnings, Fang Hao's face was already pale, he had lost his square inch, the fear in his heart for a long time was not only unique to Yue Fan, the only one who knew the inside story Fang Hao was also eroded by this fear all the time, he knew how much Yue Fan had prepared for this, but he also knew that it was still unknown whether these preparations could really play a role.
And his biggest reliance is Yue Flip, who has detected this catastrophe early in the morning, if he has no choice, and he is also in despair, then who else can save himself?
"Pengzhan! You can't be like this, you can't be like this! You've got to figure it out! You've got to figure it out! Fang Hao frantically grabbed Yue Flip's shoulder and shook it vigorously, shaking vigorously, wanting to shake the previous Yue Flip out, although he also knew that the previous Yue Flip might be even more helpless, because the previous Yue Flip was just as afraid as him.
That's why they hid in Gangnam, didn't they?
But Jiangnan is not safe, in the future storm and catastrophe, there is no place to be safe, absolutely not, unless you rush to the Himalayas, otherwise, the Jin soldiers can still find you, the entire Han land, Jiangbei and Jiangnan, there is no safety, no, everyone will encounter the same experience, the emperor is also forced to wander on the sea, since the history of the Han family, which country's emperor was forced by foreign troops to such an extent?
Hate! Hate! I really hate it! I really hate it!
But so what?
I only have 30,000 soldiers and horses, I only have more than 1,000 gunpowder bullets, I only get more than 700 war horses despite my best efforts, I only have a total of 1,000 cavalry, I can only get more than 10,000 pairs of divine arms and bows with all my might, I can only make all the soldiers have armor, I try my best to make them proficient in infantry tactics, and what else? I don't have any way around it.
I can't find a way to deal with the golden soldiers and iron cavalry, I can't find a way to deal with their torrent of steel, I can't find a way to redeem the depraved will of the Song people, I can't find a way to arouse their long-lost pride hidden in the blood of China!
I, they, we, we used to be the best and proudest race in heaven and earth, we were invincible, we were invincible, we gained such a large territory, so many people, but why, now we have completely lost this pride? How on earth do we lose this pride? And how can we redeem this pride?
Me, what the hell am I going to do?
Yue Flip couldn't hear Fang Hao's desperate roar, Yue Flip just looked up at the north, saw the fierce and vicious steel torrent rushing towards him, and then looked at the south, the humble and cowardly villain shrank in the corner of the wall and trembled, so what about me? Standing in the middle of the two, where should I go? How? Freedom and death, survival and shame, how do I choose? Can anyone tell me? Can anyone tell me how I should choose?
Heading north? Or head south? Can anyone tell me?
