"Taishi, this statement is too alarmist, my Dajin Kingdom has just lost the northwest barbaric land, although the Zuo Shuai Mansion has losses, but it is still fighting fiercely, and the ancestral foundation still exists, with hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, and the Jurchen sons and daughters can pick up their swords at any time, and they are afraid of its Southern Dynasty. Now that the Southern Dynasty has won a small victory, it is not easy to annex my Dajin, how could Zhao Er refuse peace talks if he knew the current affairs! As soon as Wushu's words came out, the people in the hall were shocked, but Shang Shu Youcheng Wanyan Zongben disagreed with Wushu's statement and refuted it.

"Right Minister, the Song Army's large-scale invasion is by no means accidental, Zhao Erchu has been planning for so many years to launch the Northern Expedition, and its fundamental purpose is to destroy the Jin State, but it is not just to ask for some indemnities and land, so he will never negotiate peace with the Jin State at this time." Deputy Commander Wan Yan Yanying said, he knew that Wushu's words were definitely not alarmist, as long as a person is not a fool, and there are not so many saints in the world, no one will stop in the case of an absolute advantage, they will definitely maximize their own interests, and Zhao Er is one of the masters.

"Deputy Marshal, you mean that the Southern Dynasty wants to swallow our Dajin Kingdom in one bite this time, it's really a joke, don't forget that twenty years ago, the Southern Dynasty repeatedly begged us for peace and paid the New Year's coin, even if our national strength is not as good as back then, but it is a matter of day and night to destroy our Dajin!" Shangshu Zuocheng Wanyan Zongxian also believed that when the situation had not deteriorated to the point of no return, the Song Dynasty did not have the ability to destroy the Jin State.

"Zuo Xiang, the Southern Dynasty at this time is no longer the Southern Dynasty at that time, the 100,000 troops of my right marshal's mansion, relying on the boundary trenches, only lasted for more than a month before the whole line was lost; Zuo Shuai's Mansion has only been half a month, the Song army has penetrated hundreds of miles into the border, and Jinzhou City has been besieged! Wan Yan Yanying sneered in her heart. This old antique still doesn't understand the current situation, and now the Right Marshal's Mansion is now finished. The remnants of the soldiers brought back by Fusan Zhongyi were less than 1,000 people, and the northwest defense line was suddenly opened. And the Zuo Marshal's Mansion has lost more than half of its troops. Only the isolated city of Jinzhou remained, and once the Song army completed its combat preparations for Liaoyang, it was completely isolated, and the Zuo Marshal's Mansion was actually in danger.

"This is all because the court did not pay attention to the use of people, and the failure of the Right Marshal's Mansion was due to the panic of the Right Supervisor Wanyan Bingde, who left the ground without permission, causing the Right Marshal to lose his fundamentals and the back road being cut off; And the Song army was able to quickly break through Laizhou and Xizhou, and go deep into Baili because the left prison army scattered and drank treason and surrendered to the enemy, and it was the reason why the vanguard led the wolf into the house. Therefore, it is imperative that the traitors be severely punished. Punish the nine clans to set an example and boost the morale of our army to facilitate another battle. Wanyan Zongxian thought that the series of failures in front of him were all due to a series of failures caused by the two not fighting, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Taishi Wushu, implying that he had problems with employing people.

"The left and right supervisors are all important ministers of the country, or clansmen, or meritorious heroes, and they may also have something difficult to say. As far as I know, the reinforcements of the Zuojian army have been breached halfway to the boundary trench in Laizhou, and the small city of Laizhou has no danger to defend, so he ordered the army and people to withdraw to Xizhou before the Song army arrived, and it is not inappropriate to rely on the Liuzhou River to fortify. But there are people with bad intentions. Random suspicion, and there were people in the DPRK and China who wanted to put him to death, which caused him to have no choice but to surrender to the enemy. And Wanyan Bingde's appointment as the right supervisor is also recommended by someone in the DPRK! Wanyan Yanying said with a sneer.

Wanyan Yanying knew that the Taishi wanted Wanyan to be virtuous. It was precisely because Wanyan Zongxian Nian strongly recommended him to Changchun Prefecture for the sake of the same sect. And Wushu swept the treasury in Wanyan Bingde and ran to the Zuo Shuai's Mansion to take refuge in Wanyan Liang, and some ministers impeached him for leaving his post without permission, and did not punish him. is also considering the instability of the current situation, worried about another scattering drink. Therefore, the matter was suppressed, so as not to make his face unpleasant. I didn't expect to hit it back now, and I couldn't help but have sarcasm in my words.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that peace talks should be made, but now there is an enemy outside, and there is a constant war inside, and if you continue to fight, you will indeed have the worry of losing the country!" Wanyan Zongxian said that he is now compiling the history of the country, and he knows a lot about domestic affairs, and he knows that the Jin country is no longer the Jin country of the past.

After Yan Kang succeeded to the throne, the country was in civil strife, the political situation was unstable, and it lost again and again in the war, losing the rich land of the sixteen states of Yanyun, and had to move a large number of people inward. However, the Jurchens returned in large numbers, and the government had to grant them land, which inevitably encroached on the land of the local people, and the contradiction between the landless people and the Jurchens became more and more acute, thus provoking the people to constantly rebel against the policies of the imperial court.

At the same time, in order to prepare for the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty, Wushu took power, and conscripted strong men to enlist in the army, built boundary trenches, and 'collected troubles' among the people. The strong men of the Jurchen, Khitan and Xi ethnic groups all had to be conscripted into the army, which was not enough, and the strong men of the Han nationality were forcibly conscripted. Ding Nan could not engage in agricultural production, and the army needed a large amount of food and salary, which caused an economic crisis. This also provoked the anti-gold struggle of the people of all ethnic groups, and at this time, in many areas of the country, "thieves rose up, the big ones connected the cities, and the small ones protected the mountains."

And judging from the war with the Song, the Jin Dynasty was in a losing situation. At this time, unlike the early Jin Dynasty, the Jurchen aristocracy was in the era of slave society, and the slave owners and nobles actively supported the war in order to satisfy their greed for plunder. At this time, the Jurchens had transitioned to a feudal society, and most of the Jurchen nobles had indulged in a life of wealth and pleasure, and were unwilling to go to the battlefield to charge into battle. Most of the troops of the Jin Dynasty were recruited from various ethnic groups, and they naturally did not want to fight. Therefore, the economic poverty and war-weariness from top to bottom are not conducive to the continuation of the war, and peace talks are naturally the best policy.

"The minister also thinks that it is not conducive to fighting again, and we should negotiate peace with the Southern Dynasty as soon as possible when the war situation is still favorable to us, and the longer it is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be!" Xiao Zhonggong also started.

"Yes, Your Majesty, now that the weather has warmed up, spring ploughing is imminent, but the strong men are all conscripted into the army, if you miss the agricultural time, there will be no harvest this year, there will be no food, and it is impossible to fight!" Zhao Wang Wanyan also joined in the fun, he has always hated the vultures to make him a master, what you don't want to do, we just let you do it.

"Taishi, what do you think?" Wan Yan Yan listened to the speeches of the ministers, looked at the Wushu who was sitting under him, and asked.

"Ahem...... Peace talks are not inevitable. Wushu saw that the emperor was showing signs of going berserk again, and the important ministers of the court were overwhelmingly in favor of peace, and he had fallen into isolation, and said in a deep silence.

"Taishi, this is ......" Shi Liezhining, the secretary of the military department, saw that the old man actually compromised in public, this is not a good sign, they are going to take the opportunity to make trouble, can't the Taishi see it, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Although the war between Song and Kim is fierce, it is not completely impossible to have another chance of peace talks, but unless the situation is reversed. But this is by no means the best time, and the Southern Dynasty will not agree, even if it agrees to negotiate peace, it will ask for a sky-high price. Wushu waved his hand to stop his son-in-law and said slowly.

"When does the master think it's best to negotiate peace?" Wan Yan didn't want to fight, but the Taishi couldn't be the master if he didn't speak, and now he finally spat out under pressure, and asked with joy in his heart.

"Liaoyang Mansion, as long as we hold Liaoyang, peace can be negotiated!" Wushu said slowly. Through many years of experience in fighting Zhao Er, he thought that after the fall of Liaoyang, Zhao Er would continue to attack and realize the operational concept of a two-way joint attack and a meeting of troops to Beijing; In the defeat of Liaoyang City, the Song army became a lame giant, and the Western Route Army would never rush deeper, but would only make diversionary tactical operations in the grassland area, waiting for the next order. At this time, the Jin State proposed negotiations, and the Southern Dynasty could accept it, although there may be repetitions, but Zhao Er knows the current affairs best and will not let go of this opportunity.

"What does Yihe have to do with Liaoyang Mansion?" Wanyan Zongben didn't expect Wushu to succumb, but he was confused about the timing of the peace he proposed, and he didn't know what the mystery was, so he asked suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, the meaning of the Taishi Weichen knows a little bit about it, can you face Chen!" Wanyan Yanying saw the vultures leaning on the chair, knowing that after a long time, his body was difficult to support, so he took over the conversation.

"Well, you say!" Wan Yan nodded in response.

"Your Majesty, my lords, Liaoyang is an important hub connecting the Central Plains and western Liaoning, if the Song army conquers this place in one fell swoop, it will open the southern gate deep into the hinterland of our Dajin Kingdom, and it will be able to go north along the Liao River to Beijing Division; Moreover, this area is the richest place in the Jin country, and it is also the center of wealth, and they will never let it go. If the Song army is unable to capture Liaoyang Mansion for a while, the two armies will enter a stalemate stage; If it is defeated in Liaoyang, the Song army will be under the attack of the Zuo Shuaifu army and the Liaoyang army, and it will definitely withdraw quickly, and the attack on the southern route will fail, and our army will be able to deal with the other Song army from the northwest with all its might. Therefore, the key point of this victory and defeat is now Liaoyang Mansion. Wan Yan Yanying explained.

"Could this be another plan of the Song army to attack the east and west, is it true that they are attacking Liaoyang and attacking Jinzhou?" It seems that Song Jun's voice has made everyone in the Jin country known, and even nerds like Wanyan Zongxian know it, he asked rhetorically.

"Alas, at first, Zhao Er may still have this intention, feint to attack Liaoyang to force my Zuo Shuaifu to divide the army, or withdraw the army for fear of being cut off from the back road, but now the surrender of the city of Sali and Drink Xiancheng has enabled the Song army to drive straight to the city of Jinzhou, and there is no need to use any sound to attack the west, and once Liaoyang is lost, Jinzhou only needs to besiege but not attack, and it will be trapped to death. I'm now worried that Liaoyang will send troops to reinforce Jinzhou, weakening my own strength and making the city unsafe!" Wanyan Yanying sighed and said.

"Does the Taishi mean to reinforce Liaoyang and give up Jinzhou?" Wan Yan, who had been sitting on the throne in a daze, suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty, this is exactly what the minister wants, Liaoyang is not lost, and we can negotiate peace with the Southern Dynasty." Wushu nodded and replied.

"No, give up Jinzhou, what about Di Gu Nai? Make peace with the Southern Dynasty now and stop them from attacking Jinzhou, you must rescue him!" Wan Yan slapped the case and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, this ......" Wushu looked at the emperor and went crazy, only to feel a burst of weakness on his body, what he said for a long time was equivalent to saying it in vain, he was deeply committed to his brotherhood, and he had not forgotten Yan Liang's good brother who wanted to usurp power when he died...... (To be continued......)
