Letting go of the page, Wan Yan stared at an article.

"We have six wins and six defeats. One victory, our dynasty has more soldiers, more taxes, and more land, but we can be defeated again and again, and we also have the power to fight back. The strong army began in a bloody battle and finally became comfortable. Defeated and defeated, defeated again and again, based on blood and iron as the bone, cast a strong Qin army to resist the Jin army! Second victory, Jurchen rose in Liaodong, enslaved by Liao, and then unbearable government, Wanyan rose up, destroyed the Khitan in a few years, and even more soldiers in Bianliang. However, it is also the great disadvantage of the Jurchens. The Jurchen rose too fast, with the sharpness of the iron horse, to the peak, south to the Yellow River, the great desert of the north, west to the party, west to Goryeo, the vast land, shocking the world, but the lack of officials, most of them are opportunists, greedy and despicable people, and the governance of the region is chaotic. Riding a horse can fight the world, but it is difficult to rule the world. Forced by force, the literati came out, but they had two hearts. It seems to be the strongest, but it is also the weakest. Three victories, the Jurchen is a barbarian, no loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, honesty and shame, no self-dynasty system. When the war is everywhere, contradictions lurk; When the war ceases, infighting will arise. The dignity of the throne, the fight will be martyred; Civilians live urgently, the powerful are drunk and dream of death, and civilians will have resentment; The Jurchen, Khitan, Bohai, and Han Chinese will also fight constantly. The three major contradictions run throughout, internal friction continues, and strength will decline! ”

"Four victories, the Jurchen rose in Liaodong, the foundation is in Youyun, and both of these places are near the sea. A navy must be built to land on two places for surprise attacks. When the timing is right, you can burn down the houses and destroy the fields to exhaust the money; If the timing is right, join forces with the Northern Expeditionary Army to capture Jizhou and other places. The Jin army won with cavalry, and our army won with the navy, unbalanced confrontation, and gained relative advantage. Five victories, although the Liao State was destroyed, the remnants still existed, and fled to the Western Regions. When the timing is right, you can join Liao to attack gold! It is also possible to join the party to attack the west and attack gold. Six wins, Jurchen itself. The strength of the Jin country lies in barbarism, but the wine can lose morale, the food can lose the heart, and the beautiful women have no courage. The Jurchens will also decline rapidly like the Khitan and Western Xia. ”

"We also had six defeats. Defeated by morale, up to the royal family, down to the common people, first there was a phobia of Liao, then a phobia of Xia, and now a phobia of gold. He was timid in his heart. This disease is incurable, and there is no other way for our dynasty to be a slave to the country; The second defeat, the civilian officials are greedy for money, the military attaches are afraid of death, the army is corrupt, the culture is corrupt, and the officialdom is corrupt. Three defeats, our dynasty is in danger, and the Jin army is approaching the city, which is just a disaster; The second disaster lies in the continuous rebellion of displaced people in various places, first Wang Xiaobo in Sichuan, then Jiangnan La, and then Shandong Song. The Jurchen rear is unstable, and I am unstable towards the rear. If you are outside, you must first settle inside, and if you are unstable inside, how to go on a northern expedition. ”

Four defeats, there is no way to move the capital. In the rebellion of Tang Anshi, the Tang Emperor could flee to Shu for refuge, but I couldn't. Our dynasty was too harsh on the Shu people, and there were constant rebellions and massacres. Once the Jurchen breaks through the Tong Pass, and the party comes from the west, it will become a trend of catching turtles in the urn; Move the capital to the south of the Yangtze River, also can't, when the Fangla Rebellion, the military discipline of the Western Army was too poor, there were many killings and exploits, many looting, and there were the disasters of Huashigang, the Manichaean rebellion, and it was difficult. The capital is Jiangnan, and the Northern Expedition will be defeated. The five defeats lie in the fact that we do not suppress business. does not suppress business, taxes are sufficient, but money worship is prevalent, copper smell is constant, and wealth is supreme. The people's hearts are unstable, and many of them have the heart of betrayal and treason. Six defeats are short. If the Northern Expedition fails in 20 years, it will become the queen of Chen, singing ** flowers, and helplessly losing the country! ”

"Six wins and six defeats, the Song Dynasty has six chances to win, and there are also six ways to lose. Only by fully taking advantage of my six ways of winning and minimizing the six drawbacks can I defeat the enemy, but unfortunately, Emperor Song didn't listen to him! ”

This article is only about 1,000 words, but with a broad vision, it shows the comparison of the strength of Jin Guo and Song State, without blindly expanding the advantages of Jin State, nor numbly belittling Song State, everything is realistic and points to the key point of the two countries. There are not too many flowery rhetoric and too many arguments, but the arguments cover all aspects of politics, economy, and culture of the two countries, giving people a convincing feeling.

Now, the Jin Kingdom is at the pinnacle, from top to bottom, it is full of pride, it seems that in an instant, the Jin Kingdom will destroy the Song Dynasty, the Western Xia, and finally dominate the world, and achieve the great cause of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. But in fact, Jin Guo is the strongest and the weakest.

The Jin country is the strongest, all of which is laid on the basis of the Jin army's repeated victories; The Kingdom of Jin is also the weakest, because everything is a mess except for the powerful Iron Horse.

The chaos of internal affairs, the lack of food and grass, the constant rebellion, and the double-mindedness of the officials made it impossible for the Jin army to recruit too many soldiers. This time when they went south to Bianliang, there were only as many as 70,000, and as many as 70,000 to attack Bianliang, which had 200,000 defenders, only a madman would do such a thing.

Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: Ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and if it is doubled, it will be divided, and the enemy will be able to fight, if it is few, it can be escaped, and if it is not, it can be avoided. Therefore, the small enemy is strong, and the big enemy is also captured.

It is said that if you have ten times the strength of the enemy, you can surround the enemy and besiege the enemy's city.

Attacking Bianliang, which has 200,000 defenders, with 70,000 troops, can be said to be a military adventure, and it can be said to be an extremely crazy thing. But it is astonishing that such a crazy thing succeeded, and finally extorted the gold and silver cloth of the year.

Even he was surprised, but in the end he succeeded.

In the original plan, he only planned to parade a few laps under Bianliang City, force the Song Dynasty, sign a treaty similar to the Lanyuan Alliance, increase some more coins, and alleviate the financial shortage. Over the years, after continuous battles, the soldiers have long been exhausted, and a large number of heaven and earth are barren and uncultivated; A large number of pastures are open and ungrazing. The Jin State defeated the Liao State, suppressed the Western Xia, broke the Song army, seemed invincible, and won the war, but it did not digest the dividends of the war well.

And going south to the Song Dynasty and coercing Bianliang was essentially to obtain a large amount of goods and better make up for the lack of finance.

And it will take a certain amount of time to digest the dividends of war. It was impossible to start a large-scale war until the dividends of the war were digested, which also led to a serious shortage of troops in his south. This war itself is not to destroy the Song Dynasty, but to pick some fruits to digest after eating.

Originally, it was planned to pick some fruit to help digestion, but who expected it to be a big meal!

Those treaties, at the time of the expedition, were not mentioned at all. Those treaties were proposed by him temporarily, and there was a taste of asking for a sky-high price, but the Song Dynasty did not sit on the ground and repay the money, and most of the treaties were agreed. This was again unexpected.

At this time, there was a voice outside the door asking for an appointment, and there was important information to report.

"Marshal, reinforcements from the Song army are here!" A young general said.

"What about that?" Wan Yan asked without asking.

"The Shaanxi Army, which seems to be from the area of Qingjian City, seems to be a bad old man, called the Seed Master!" The young general said.

"Planter Dao, interesting!" Wan Yan couldn't leave, and smiled, "How many people are there!" ”

"About 30,000 or so, 3,000 cavalry, but the armor seems to be somewhat lacking. Marshal, give the last general 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the last general will crush this army and horses, and pluck the head of the dog general to make a commode! The young general said with great interest.

"Okay, I'll give you 5,000 soldiers and horses, and attack the Seed Master. But be careful, only victory, not defeat. Wan Yan couldn't leave, took down the general order with a wave of his hand, and threw it over, "According to what he said, the master is a rare famous general in the Shaanxi Army, he is a resolute person, and he is decisive, not comparable to those scholars, you have to be careful!" ”

"Marshal, you will not disgrace your mission, if you are defeated, you are willing to cut off a certain head to sacrifice the flag!"

"Remember, be careful!"

After finishing speaking, the young general left in high spirits, led the men and horses of the headquarters, and attacked towards the Breeder Dao.

"Heri, don't let me down!"

"Planter Dao, so bold, you dare to come to the rescue, then I will let you die under Bianliang City."

When I thought of the situation in the past three months, Wan Yan's heart was full of anger. The soldiers of the Jin Army are good at field warfare, strangling the enemy on the plains, breaking the enemy's formation, and then taking the opportunity to kill. The Jurchens have always been unfamiliar with siege, and siege has always been dominated by those Han and Khitan armies. And these people are also not able to work, they are always in battle, stealing and cheating, which makes him angry. If he hadn't relied on these sieges, he would have killed all these cowards.

For months, there was no progress in the continuous siege of the city. In desperation, he had to let the Jurchen men come forward to attack the city, and after heavy losses, he had no choice but to retreat.

These days, he has given up on his determination to capture Bianliang. The city of Bianliang is too tall, and it is impossible to capture Bianliang without achieving the superiority of troops. had no choice but to adopt the plan of encircling the point to send reinforcements, using Bianliang as bait to attract other Song Dynasty reinforcements, and then eat the reinforcements step by step, turning the difficult siege battle into a field battle.

It's a pity that those reinforcements were too timid. Always hovering on the periphery of Bianliang, not daring to take a step forward. Once the Jin army went out to attack, those reinforcements immediately fled in panic, running faster than rabbits, which made people extremely angry.

The Dao of the Planter is actually here, so use his head to sacrifice the flag!

……

In the barracks, the people and horses are in order, people are like dragons, horses are like the wind, and one by one the vigorous Jurchen sons and daughters jumped on the fast horses and galloped towards the outside of the camp.

"The Jin Army is dispatched!" Zhang Bangchang said worriedly, "It's going to attack the city!" ”

"No, have you ever seen a siege on horseback?" Zhao Pu said, "This is not a siege. It's just a siege and a siege of the Western Army! ”

"The Western Army is coming!" Zhang Bangchang said with joy on his face.

"The Western Army is here, and so is the Planter!" Zhao Pudao.

"The Dao of the Seed Master is coming, the siege outside the city will inevitably be lifted, and the Jin army will soon retreat!" Zhang Bangchang analyzed.

"The Jin army will inevitably retreat, but it's useless to come to the Seed Master!" Zhao Pu said with a smile, "Those military horses that are dispatched will definitely attack the Seed Master Dao Department. A big war is inevitable! ”

"So who's going to win and who's going to lose?"

"If the Jin army wins, it will not enter Bianliang; And the kind of general victory, he can't shake the foundation of the Jin army, this is just a small episode of the siege of Bianliang! ”
