Li Gang and Bai Shi immediately showed a knowing look.

The scholars and doctors of the Great Song Dynasty were illiterate in military affairs, but the application of power and art was at the top level. The seed master dao analyzed the royal dispute in the Jin Kingdom, and the contradiction caused by the alternation of the throne, and the scholars and doctors present immediately understood the mystery.

Song Qinzong also nodded and said: "That kind of general means that this siege of Bianliang seems to be dangerous, but in fact, there is no danger!" “

"Indeed!" Seed Master Dao seemed to feel that these were not enough, and continued: "Your Majesty, the battle of Jin Liao is a battle of life and death, either you die or I die, the Jin army must defeat the Liao army, and only by destroying the Liao army can the Jin army survive; But the Battle of Jin Song was different, it was a dinner party. The Jin army occupies Youyan and is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is already invincible, attacking and retreating. Because of being invincible and having a way out, there is less determination to fight and dare to fight, and the internal dirtiness will inevitably lead to the struggle, and the internal contradictions are greater than the external contradictions. This battle of Bianliang is thrilling and dangerous. ”

Song Qinzong's face immediately showed joy, as long as the Jin army did not break the city, everything would be easy to say.

The seed master said: "This time, the Jin army attacked from the east and west, and the East Route Army did not leave to threaten Bianliang, and once invited the Marshal of the West Route Army, Mu Han, to lead his troops south, bypass Taiyuan, capture Tongguan, cut off the rescue road of the Western Army, and cut off the intention of moving the capital to the west to Chang'an. As long as the Jin army attacks from the east and west, Bianliang will inevitably be dangerous. But Wanyan is inseparable from sticky Han. The two had many fights. If Sticky Han hears the request of Wanyan and goes south to break through Tongguan, even if he wins in the end, the first merit is to complete Yan Hu's inseparability, and the second merit is Sticky Han. Sticky Han is a proud person, how can he make a wedding dress for others, so he stays in Bianliang and does not go south. This is the biggest evil result of the Jin Army's infighting and the Jin Army's filthyness, and it has also brought a glimmer of life to our army! “

"This line of vitality is destined to be preserved. But this time it was lucky to be preserved, which does not mean that Bianliang will still be safe next time. Good luck will not always come to the Great Song Dynasty, and sooner or later there will be a time when luck will run out. Only by moving the capital can we avoid danger; Only by moving the capital can we get rid of the burden! “

The planter once again proposed to move the capital.

"At this moment, Dingdu Bianliang can get nothing except consuming manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Except for becoming a live target of the Jin Army and being consumed by the Jin Army little by little, there is nothing to gain. It is imperative to move the capital. ”

Song Qinzong hesitated for a moment and said, "Old general, this matter will be discussed later!" ”

If you discuss it later, you will not discuss it later.

The seed master sighed slightly in his heart, the official family was too indecisive, looking forward and backward, and he couldn't pay attention. But how can you hesitate about this? In normal times, indecision in national policy is nothing more than a defeat or a loss of finance and taxes. But in this matter, how can he be indecisive.

Jun did not see, in December of the third year of the Kaiyuan of the Later Jin Dynasty (996 AD), the Khitan Jun invaded Bianliang, and the Later Jin Dynasty perished.

In the early years of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty, planned to move the capital to Luoyang, but because of the unfavorable geographical location of Bianliang, he was opposed by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. And his brother Zhao Guangyi is also opposed, and even said that the way to govern the country is to emphasize morality rather than geographical benefits. In desperation, the proposal to move the capital was eliminated.

"Moving the capital is almost against the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Taizu is eloquent, several times more than today's saints, but he can't do it; Your Majesty's talent is medium, how can you do it! The seed master sighed silently in his heart, did not move the capital, and defended Bianliang, when the Great Song Dynasty exhausted its financial resources and troops in the lonely city, it was the time when the city was broken.

Li Gang opened his mouth and said: "Official, as the old general said, this battle of Bianliang is not in danger, and it will definitely be preserved. In this case, why don't we take the initiative to attack the Jin army outside the city, and if it wins, we can relieve the siege of Bianliang; If it fails, it will not lead to the fall of Bianliang! ”

"That's a good idea!" Bai Shizhong also nodded.

"The food in the city can't last long, so you can only attack, gamble, even if you lose, you admit it!" Zhang Min said.

Ouyang Xun also nodded and said, "This battle, I have to fight." More than 500,000 troops in the city, sitting in a lonely city, were persecuted by 80,000 gold troops, the only strange story in the ages. What the people think of us, how future generations will see us! ”

Without discussion, almost all the important ministers in the court reached the opinion of sending troops, and even Song Qinzong was moved.

If it was in the past, it would not be possible to take the initiative to meet the Jin army, as long as it was a great achievement to defend the city without losing it. And if you go out of the city to fight, once you fail, it is a big sin. But after the analysis of the planter, many ministers are on fire in their hearts. 500,000 troops in the city defended the city, and 80,000 gold troops attacked the city.

The army is six times that of the enemy, but it is on the defensive, and even the thick-skinned people feel disgraced.

The seed master Dao chuckled in his heart, the secret path is not good. He analyzed the enemy before, just to strengthen the determination of the official family, but the official family's mind was too firm, and he actually wanted to go out of the city to attack the Jin army, isn't this looking for death?

He still remembered the battle in the city, and the world said it was a great victory, but the cultivator remained silent. The 30,000 troops are the elite of Qingjian City, the veteran troops of the breed family, the descendants of the lineage, and the first-class ace in the Western Army. In the face of the same number of troops, he was never afraid; Even in the face of an enemy army twice my size, I am not afraid and can retreat with my whole body.

But in that battle, in the face of the 5,000 gold army iron cavalry, the 30,000 army of the seed army was defeated.

In that battle, he really saw the strength of the Jin army, the Jurchens were less than 10,000, and they were invincible.

That's true!

If you are not sure enough, it is better not to attack easily, otherwise you will lose.

"The official family must not be, the major affairs of the country of soldiers, the place of death and life, the way of survival, once defeated, there is a danger of breaking the country and destroying the army!" Seed Master Dao hurriedly persuaded, "Although our army has 500,000, the good and the bad are uneven, most of the soldiers are not in good armor, lack of training, there is more than enough to defend the city, and there is not enough to go out of the city to fight!" ”

Li Gang sneered and said: "Old general, the Jin army was very bold in the fierce battle before, but why is he so timid at this time!" ”

"I'm getting smaller, that's because I can't afford to lose!" The seed master said, "The fierce battle against the Jin Army before, even if it is dead, it is just a horse leather shroud. Wouldn't it be nice for a husband to be able to die on the battlefield! But at this moment, the army of Bianliang City attacked the Jin army, once it fails, the morale of our army will be lost, and Bianliang will be in danger at that time! ”

"Didn't the general just say that Jin is constantly fighting in the country, in order to avoid the merit of the master, Jin Shuai will definitely not attack the city with all his might, Bianliang seems to be dangerous, but in fact, is it as safe as Mount Tai?" Li Gang unceremoniously accused.

"Li Xiang, the way of debate, the art of deceit. What really determines the outcome is the combat strength of the soldiers, their courage, and the amount of money and food in the government treasury. If you can decide the winner by playing tricks, what do you have to do with the soldiers? The seed master said leisurely, he said that he didn't care about it, but he didn't expect to offend the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Above the court, the literati occupy the majority, and the literati eat by debating and playing tricks. But when it comes to the mouth of the planter, he turns the debate into a deceitful way, isn't this a naked contempt for the scholars of the Manchu Dynasty? Invisibly, all the ministers present secretly hated the Seed Master Dao in their hearts.

And all this, the seed master Dao is unaware.

Seed Master Dao continued: "In this battle, our army is in a weak position, and it is inevitable to sign a contract similar to the alliance of the Yuanyuan. It's just a piece of land, and you can't agree to kill it. Su Xun's "Theory of the Six Kingdoms" pointed out that cutting land is the way to ruin, and the land east of Hedong and Hebei must not be agreed. But how to resist the pressure of the Jin army, only a strong military force. If the Bianliang defenders exist, they can deter the Jin soldiers, and this article can be pushed down; However, if the Bianliang defenders suffered huge losses, they could only accept the humiliation of the Jin army's land cession. “

"The army is a bargaining chip in the contract. Once you go out of the city to attack the Jin army, the army will be greatly damaged, and at that time, you can still keep the land east of Hebei and Hedong, and Bianliang may be lost! “

The danger of sending troops is too great, it is almost equivalent to gambling, and once it fails, it will not only lose morale, but also may cut the land, or even fall to Bianliang. Although, according to the analysis of the master of the Dao, it is unlikely that the marshal of the Jin army will break through Bianliang, but in this matter, how can he be careless and prepare for the worst.

At this time, Song Qinzong opened his mouth and asked, "Old general, do you know how much grain is stored in Bianliang?" Do you know how long Bianliang can last? ”

The Planter was silent.

From the eyes of the people, the rescue of Bianliang by a million-strong army is magnificent, the scene is huge, and it is inspiring. But the master knows that there are millions in the division of King Qin, but it is just an exaggeration, and it is okay to fool the ignorant people, and the division of King Qin is at most 200,000. It's just that these 200,000 or so are miscellaneous troops, their strength cannot be mixed, there are many factions, various generals are intrigued, and their weapons are incomplete, in short, there are many shortcomings.

These 200,000 troops, if they defend the city, are okay, but if they go to the city to fight outside the city, they will not be able to give full play to the advantages of the 200,000 army, but will be chaotic and dangerous.

But you can't stay in the city.

Bianliang has been besieged for several months, and the food in Bianliang City is extremely tight, and most of the people in the city are already drinking porridge at this time, and some poor families even have no porridge. The high-ranking officials in the city also began to diet, and those who could eat steamed buns were high-class people. At this time, another 200,000 reinforcements came, which made the food shortage in Bianliang even worse.

Preliminary estimates show that it will take about a month before the food runs out.

At that time, Bianliang may change children and eat, and Bianliang may be broken without a fight.

Suddenly, the seed master understood the thoughts of the official family, this battle was imperative, and he had to fight, even if he knew that he would be defeated, he had to fight.

In this battle, if it is victorious, it can repel the Jin army, open up the Bianhe River, transfer grain and grass from the southeast, and relieve the pressure on Bianliang; If the battle is defeated and those who go out of the city to fight, the hundreds of thousands of troops will not be captured and killed, but they will be scattered, reducing the population in disguise and saving rations, and Bianliang may support it for a longer time.

It's cruel, but it's realistic!
