The next day after the adjustment of the top leadership group of the Dajin State, the first meeting was held in the Taishi Mansion, which was presided over by the Taishi Wushu, and was attended by the Taibao Wanyan Zongmin, the Taifu Wanyan Zongxiong, the Governor of the Counselor Tang Kuobi, the Deputy Commander of the Army, and the Right Minister of Shangshu Province, Zhang Hao, and the three people present were the military department Shangshu Shi Lie Zhining, the river defense envoy Sansan Zhongyi, and the Wanyan Alin. The topic of the meeting was, of course, the biggest crisis facing the Jin country - the Southern and Northern Expeditions.

Wushu looked at the people in the hall but there was a little bitterness in their hearts, after saying that, Yan Liang and Wan Yan Yong should sit among them and discuss national affairs with themselves, but the descendants of the two families that he had cultivated so hard were all gone, and he had to reactivate those old decays, and there was really no successor to this Dajin Kingdom.

For Wan Yan Liang, Wushu is hating iron and not steel, this kid walked too smoothly under the protection of the emperor, so that his ambitions swelled, and he actually colluded with the queen and courtiers to try wrong, and he transferred him to Jinzhou to keep him away from the disputes in the court, and accumulate some experience in governing the army, so as to be of great use. Unexpectedly, his nature is difficult to change, and he did not forget to fight for power at the current time of the great enemy, framed the prison army, and forced him to surrender to the Song Dynasty, so that he lost a big help, and finally the city was broken and killed, it is said that he still took Xiao Yu to his death and thought that he could help him make a comeback, which is really sad.

If you love and hate Wan Yan Liang, then you only have deep apologies and regrets for Wan Yan Yong. Wan Yan Yong can be said to be a rare all-round civil and military talent among his many sons and nephews, and has a calm personality, works hard, has good conduct, and does not have so much ambition for power, and his plan is to succeed him in his position after a hundred years to assist the emperor. But a coup d'état frustrated his plan, and he also knew that Wan Yanyong was wronged, but the arrested person insisted that he would succeed him after the coup was successful. Leaving himself unable to defend him makes his conscience uneasy. I also deeply regret it.

"Di Gu Nai was defeated in Jinzhou and killed, and Wulu offered Liaoyang City to surrender to the enemy. The Shenzhou guards rebelled against the enemy according to their orders, and the Guide Prefecture guards were killed in battle, causing the southern gateway to be opened, and now all the Tokyo Road fell into the hands of the Song army. The Xiangan Road is already under the front of the enemy's South Road Army, and there are urgent reports every day, asking the imperial court to send reinforcements; The Uzbes fought hard for more than a month and lost Changchun Prefecture, because in the rainy season the enemy's Western Route Army had been wandering on the banks of the Duck River on Zhaohui Road for more than a month, and now it was heading eastward, with the intention of crossing the river to capture Zhaozhou. What do you think is going to do with the enemy? Wushu said half-leaning on the soft couch.

"Hmm. Now, after several months of hard fighting, it is still difficult to stop the momentum of the offensive of the Southern Dynasties, and a large number of elite troops have been lost, and only the eastern areas of the Xiangan Road, Huiningfu, Shangjing Road, and Zhaohui Road are left in the prefectures and counties under its control, and the depth of defense has been greatly reduced, and the number of troops is also extremely short. Wanyan Zongmin stood up and said.

"Yes, now the Ministry of the Five Kingdoms has occupied the Suguan Road with the help of the Song army, and the Khitans have taken control of most of the prefectures and counties of Huli Road, completely cutting off all our sea and outside connections. The roads to get supplies from Goryeo and Fusang were all blocked, and the fall of Liaoyang made our supply of copper, iron, and food even more strained. Wanyan Zongxiong also echoed.

In fact, there is nothing substantive in what the two people say, it is more of an explanation of what the Wushu says, and when they speak, they are also respectful. I don't dare to go beyond the slightest, and I don't have the same brothers who have worked together for many years. In fact, this is easy to understand, everyone saw yesterday's events. Wushu is the biggest 'watermelon' in the Jin Kingdom, and he doesn't nod. God doesn't dare to rain, even the important ministers in the court can't look down on him. It only takes an attitude to remove him from office.

In fact, this phenomenon has existed in all dynasties, and the reason for its formation is also very simple, because at the beginning of the founding of the country, all dynasties inevitably went through a stage of 'heroic governance', and it was also inevitable when consolidating the new political power, integrating military and political power into one, and completing the historical mission of the stage of rule by man. Whether or not you can restrain yourself with ideals, morality, and national law and regulate your own behavior depends to a large extent on your own character and cultivation.

The two founding monarchies of the Jin State were both too old when they failed to complete the great cause, and handed over the unfinished business to a child, so that the country was at the key point of advancing or retreating. In a sense, the twenty-year history of the founding period of the Jin State was written by the powerful ministers.

The strength of Wushu is undeniable, he is the most military commander and politician of the Jin State after the death of Han Li and Zong Han, and he also likes power, so he used the hand of the emperor and the support of the army to kill Zong Gan and Zong Xuan and others. These people are all his brothers, and they have gone to the battlefield together, fighting together for the Dajin Kingdom, it can't be said that there is no emotion, but they were removed mercilessly, the only thing to be thankful for is that his fourth uncle only wants to be a minister, not an emperor, otherwise his throne would have changed hands long ago, and the means of vulture also made the government and the opposition respectful.

"Well, what you two said is right, the enemy's two-way attack allows us to fight on both sides, it is difficult to support each other, and it is impossible to concentrate forces to annihilate the enemy, Zhao Er's plan is very poisonous!" Wushu said.

"Taishi, Zhao Er dared to divide his troops to attack like this, but he relied on sharp firearms to open the way, but he also needed to consume more materials, which is why he chose to start the war in the spring and summer, which is the most unsuitable time for war, but he wanted to use the convenient water network in Liaodong to transport materials. Therefore, the subordinate thought that as long as we could hold out until the cold weather in September, the enemy army would have to retreat because it was impossible to transport supplies by water. Wanyan Zongmin said, I have to say that he is still very discerning, and he can see the Song army's strict dependence on logistics.

"Alu Bu, what you said is right, but the Song army is now overwhelmed, our army can't compete with it, and even strong fortified walls like the boundary trench and Liaoyang can't stop their attack, what countermeasures do you have?" Wushu nodded, but how to delay the Song army's attack speed was still a problem.

"Xia Guan thought that we could not stop the enemy's attack because we needed to defend too many states and counties, so that the troops were too scattered, more than 10,000 people, and less than thousands. Although the Song army was divided into two routes, each road also had hundreds of thousands of people, and there were many state troops to help in the battle, responsible for defending the newly acquired land, and led our army to defeat in a battle, and suffered heavy losses. Wanyan Zongmin said.

"What you mean is that we can abandon some small states and counties, concentrate our forces in dangerous places, and rely on our superiority in strength to block the attack of the Song army, so as to achieve the purpose of delaying time." Wushu thought for a moment and said.

"This is exactly what the lower officials said, we gave up some prefectures and counties, collected all the food and property, and Ding Zhuang was incorporated into the army, leaving only the old and weak, women and children. And Zhao Er not only needed to draw troops to defend, so that the offensive force was gradually weakened, but also had to allocate part of the food to help the people, so that a large amount of grain and grass needed to be consumed, increasing the difficulty of its supply, forcing him to stop from time to time and wait for the replenishment of baggage. Wanyan Zongmin said.

"Mou Lianghu, do you think what Aru Bu said is feasible?" Wushu looked at Wanyan Zongyong and said.

"Taishi, although what Aru Bu said is good, but we will leave without a fight and give up most of the prefectures and counties, not to mention the blame, it will also affect the morale of the army and the people, and lose a large number of people!" Wanyan Zong said bravely.

"The lower officials think that Taibao's plan is feasible, and we can use the grain and grass to supplement the country, and concentrate our troops in one place to form a joint force, and it can also increase the supply burden on the enemy's army, and weakening its strength is a matter of killing two birds with one stone." Tang Kuobi was very much in favor of this, this kid didn't look young compared to everyone and was just a concubine, but his status was not low, he was the son-in-law of Wanyan Kang, and he was also promoted to Huining Mansion Yin by Wushu in order to take care of the emperor's face, and also to calm his heart.

"The lower officials thought that they should not completely abandon the prefectures and counties, and that important military towns should still be defended, such as Zhaozhou and Huanglongfu, which are all transportation hubs and large cities with convenient water and land transportation, and once captured by the Song army, they can be used as a transit place for their grain and grass, so they must not be lightly ceded to the enemy." Wanyan Zongyong frowned and said, Now the people's hearts are already panicked, if they look at the wind and leave, it will be difficult to gather, and the surrender of Liaoyang will continue to be staged.

"Well, these big cities must not be given up lightly, and heavy troops must be stationed in them to defend and resist every step." The vultures bowed slightly.

"Taishi, we can also send men and horses to harass the enemy's marching brigade in places with complex terrain and dense trees, attack its baggage team, and detour to the weak places in its rear to plunder the prefectures and counties, so that it will not be at peace and have to return to the army for rescue." Wanyan Yanying also built yì Dao, this is their Jurchen housekeeping ability, and it was based on this that they gradually grew and defeated the Liao army.

"Okay, as long as we can drag the Song army until the cold winter comes, we can defeat Zhao Er, recover Liaodong, and then restore Yanyun." Wushu encouraged.

"Taishi, if the Song Army's Western Route Army takes Zhaozhou, it is only a water away from the Beijing Division, and it will not take a few days to reach the city, and now the plan is to hold Zhaozhou first." Fu Shi Lie Zhining said, a few people talked lively, but they only thought that Zhao Er was powerful, and forgot about the army under their noses.

"Zhaozhou is the place where Taizu won the Liao Zhaoji king's base and must not be lost, I think that Taizu was able to break the Liao army of 100,000 people with 3,000 men and horses, and since then the Khitan people have fled in despair, what a hero! We must not insult the prestige of Taizu, and we must block the Song army here, so that it cannot get even half a step close to the Jingshi. Wushu said solemnly, the battle of Zhaozhou more than 30 years ago can be called the first shot fired by the Jurchens to resist the oppression of the Khitans, and the significance is heavy, it is no longer a matter of gaining or losing a city, but a major event related to the reputation of the Jurchens, so they can only win and not lose......
