The battle of Song and Jin has been going on for three years. Now it is still the Jin army that is victorious, and the Song Dynasty is losing and retreating. The Song army, even if there are occasional victories, has nothing to do with the overall situation. The battle situation is still Song weak and Jin strong, but Wan Yan Lou felt that the Jurchen army was a little tired.

When the Jin army broke through Bianliang, the total strength was about 150,000, including the Jurchen army, the Khitan army, and the Han army. After entering the Central Plains, the number of people killed in battle and dying of disease has exceeded the natural reproduction number of the Jurchen population; After entering the rich areas of the Central Plains, the atmosphere of pursuing a comfortable life has grown, and it is far from being as brave as before and after entering the customs......

At this time, the best strategy was to send the two emperors of the Song Dynasty back, one was to alleviate the hatred between the Song and Jin, and the other was to let the Song Dynasty fight among themselves.

It's just that it was opposed by Zong Han.

Wan Yan Lou took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the agitated mood and said, "Why not? ”

"The Han people have said that it is difficult to recover when covered with water! Between Song and Jin, it is already a mortal enemy, with you without me, with me without you. The Song people's hatred for my Jurchen is deep, and it will not be alleviated by releasing the two emperors. Those two emperors of the Song Dynasty now have no soldiers and no power, even if they return to the Song Dynasty, they are only imprisoned, it is difficult to make waves, and it is impossible to rely on the two of them to make civil strife in the Song Dynasty! Wan Yan Zonghan said.

"Releasing the two emperors of the Song Dynasty will not do our dynasty any good, but the disadvantages are great. The Song people will think that I am cowardly, and they will no longer be afraid of my dynasty; And our soldiers will also think that we are incompetent and give in to the Song people......"

The advantage of releasing the two emperors of the Song Dynasty was to alleviate the contradictions between the Song and Jin dynasties and cause civil strife in the Song court, while the disadvantage was that the morale of the Jin army declined. Those low-level Jurchen soldiers will not know how to save the country, they will only know that releasing the emperor of the Song Dynasty is a disguised submission to the Song people, and it is a lack of confidence in themselves, which causes great harm.

Another real reason is that Wanyan Zonghan once advocated the abolition of the two emperors of the Song Dynasty and the establishment of a new monarch; And the two emperors of the Song Dynasty who were put back at this moment were tantamount to admitting their mistakes in disguise.

With Zong Han's stubborn temper, where would he admit his mistakes.

Wanyan Lou said: "There are many people in the Song Dynasty, and it is a hundred times that of our dynasty, and the fundamental reason for breaking the Song Dynasty is to use the Han to control the Han." Only when the Song Dynasty was in civil strife and fighting endlessly, did our dynasty have a chance. At this time, letting the two emperors of the Song Dynasty go back, even if it is useless, it is harmless; But if it succeeds in instigating civil strife in the Song Dynasty, it will be enough to bring opportunities to our dynasty. As for letting the two emperors of the Song Dynasty return to the dynasty, it will frustrate the morale of our army, I don't think it is necessarily. As long as our army wins many battles, its morale will naturally be strong, and it will not be damaged by returning to the two emperors of the Song Dynasty! ”

At this moment, Wu Qimai listened quietly to the debate between the two sides, and only felt that it made sense, and it was difficult to make up his mind for a while, and asked, "Xiyin, what do you think?" ”

Wanyan Xiyin is the prime minister of the Jin Kingdom.

There are many famous generals in the Jurchen tribe, and there are many people who can fight well, and most of those who are good at cultural governance are Khitans or Han people. And Wanyan Xiyin is an alternative to the Jurchen people, he is a literati, proficient in Sinology, good at planning, famous for governing the government, is a Wenchen like Xiao He, in the Taizu period, he is famous.

Wanyan Xiyin thought for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, it's better not to let go!" ”

At this moment, Wanyan Xiyin stood on Wanyan Zonghan's side.

Wanyan Lou was stunned, with Wanyan Xiyin's wisdom, it is not difficult to see that Jin Jun is tired, why do you still ............

And Wanyan Zonghan was happy in his heart.

Wanyan Xiyin said: "Letting the two emperors of the Song Dynasty return to the Song Dynasty may be the most correct strategy, but it is also the most unsuitable strategy. ”

Wu Qiqi nodded, vaguely understanding everything.

Wan Yan Lou was sad in his heart.

………………

Soon after, Wan Yan Lou excused himself from his job and recuperated at home on the grounds that he was seriously ill.

The snow is still falling, and there is no boundary, even the Jurchens, who are used to snow, are also surprised why this year's snow is so heavy.

Lying on the bed, looking at the snowflakes floating outside the window, Wan Yan Lou's heart was extremely desolate.

In Jurchen, he was just a fierce general; And Wanyan Zonghan is an important minister of the Jin State.

In this attack on the Song Dynasty, he only commanded more than 10,000 Jin troops to crusade against the Song Dynasty; However, Wanyan Zonghan commanded an army of 100,000, controlled the Middle Route Army and the Eastern Route Army, and jointly besieged the Great Song Dynasty. The status of the two is very different.

In the era of Taizu, with his repeated military exploits, Taizu appreciated and valued him. But after Taizu's death and Taizong's accession to the throne, he was in a cold state.

In this westward expedition to Shaanxi, he was nominally the marshal of the Western Route Army, and he was in power, but in fact he was only 10,000 horses; Whether it is 100,000 in the Middle Route Army or 60,000 in the East Route Army, they are far more than him. The Western Route Army can be said to be extremely desolate, with few soldiers and few generals, and it is obvious that someone wants to give him a face.

And this time, because of whether to release the two emperors of the Song Dynasty, he and Wanyan Zonghan were opposed, and the contradiction became fierce again.

In the end, he was defeated!

At this moment, Wan Yan Lou's condition has been cured, but he has heart disease again.

"Zong Han is the one who plunged Dajin into a place of no return............

………………

The snow is still falling.

Walking in the various pastures, Wanyan Zongfu has a cloudy and uncertain look, this year's snow disaster is particularly serious, the heavy snow seems to be dying, overwhelmingly falling, endlessly, this is another year of disaster.

A large number of cattle and sheep were frozen to death, and the grain of the Jin Kingdom will inevitably be short of food;

And a large number of war horses were frozen to death, which led to the weakening of the combat power of the Jin State.

The Jin Kingdom has always relied on iron horses to run rampant, and the foundation of iron horses is war horses. And a large number of high-quality war horses put the Jin army in a favorable situation in the battles again and again, once there are no war horses, the Jin country is nothing.

It's just that the production of war horses has been reduced, but the top management of Jinguo has not paid much attention to it.

At this moment, Wanyan Zonghan is drinking and having fun, Wanyan Xiyin is thinking hard about poetry, the emperor's uncle Wu Qimai is admiring jewelry at the moment, and the other important ministers of the Jin State are either addicted to wine or the beauties of the Song Kingdom.

At this moment, they are all busy and happy.

There was a mood to go to the ranch and see the impact of the snow on the ranch.

"Is it really God bless the Great Song?" Wanyan Zongfu's expression was uncertain. A heavy snowfall made the Jin army, which was already struggling with supplies, even worse, and had to retreat; The snow disaster caused by the heavy snow damaged the pasture and the number of war horses decreased sharply. This is not good for the Jin State, but most of the important ministers of the Jin army are indulged in the dream of repeated victories, and do not see the danger that is close at hand.

And the fourth brother Jin Wushu on the side sneered: "What about God bless the Great Song? If the heavens bless the Great Song, I will tear the heavens apart. I don't believe in heaven or God, I just believe in the sword in my hand! ”

"Fourth brother, the snow disaster is coming, how can I remedy it?" Wanyan Zongfu asked after changing the topic.

Jin Wushu said: "The Song Dynasty is weak, even if the number of good horses in our dynasty is reduced, it is not a problem to defeat the Jin army, the third brother is too worried!" ”

Wanyan Zongfu nodded, also agreeing, Song Jun is too weak to mention. The destruction of the Song Dynasty is only a matter of time, but the external troubles are not enough to worry about, but the internal worries are worrying.

"Third brother, since the death of the second brother, Zong Han's power has become more and more powerful. This time, the old army of Lou Mur led 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers, but it was repeatedly defeated, and the most elite Western army of the Song Dynasty was also defeated again and again, and the 200,000 Western Army was either defeated or surrendered. Standing in the same position, I can't wait as well as the old general, but Zong Han is jealous of his ability, so that the old general Lou is not only useless, but he is dismissed and left! ”

Jin Wushu said angrily.

"Zong Han's strength in governing the army and leading the army is not inferior to the second brother, but he is too impatient, too selfish and too heavy, and he has no room for people...... "This is also our chance!" ”
