Although the army of 80,000 people is not as large as the scale of the Jin soldiers when they went south, it is not easy to deploy, so after crossing the Yellow River, Li You divided the army into three parts, Yue Fei led the East Route Army of 20,000 people from the east to Yanjing Mansion, and Han Shizhong also led 20,000 horses to turn to the west road and attack Taiyuan and Datong, Wu Jue, Wu Lu, Liu Qi, Yu Yunwen and others were assigned to his subordinates, Li You himself took the remaining 40,000 people and Zhang Shuye to maintain the grain and grass transportation in the rear and sweep away the bandits along the way, and always ready to answer them.

After successive defeats on the banks of Bianliang and the Yellow River, the 150,000 troops of the Jin State went south this time lost more than 100,000, and only 30,000 or 40,000 people were left to flee back to the north.

"The Jurchens are less than 10,000, full of 10,000 invincible" Although the sentence is describing the Jurchens' strong combat effectiveness, it also shows how scarce their soldiers are from the side, and they only got together more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the battle of Dagang, which is a matter of life and death.

The losses of the Jin Kingdom are not only these, but what makes them feel even more sad is that Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Yanmu, Wanyan Yinshu can and Wanyan Lou Mur, who are in the year of fighting and proficient in the way of using soldiers, also fell into this battle, and the soldiers may be able to re-recruit, but such generals are not so easy to cultivate; And a large number of promising young people such as Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Huonu also left their lives in the Great Song Dynasty, and there was a fault line in the Jin Kingdom from high-level generals to middle-level stars of hope.

The withering of famous generals and the loss of elites made the Jin country have to start shrinking, after all, although the jackal-like alien races on the grassland are still very docile at the moment, they are not sure when they will back, just like Wanyan Aguta resolutely raised troops when he saw the decline of the Liao State, they will also look for opportunities to draw nourishment from the corpse of the Jin State to strengthen themselves; Therefore, the Jin soldiers along the line from here to Yanshan Mansion, Taiyuan, and Datong began to withdraw further north, and the remaining troops Yue Fei and Han Shizhong could easily deal with it, and the foundation of the two of them had already been very good, and now it was time for them to test it with actual combat.

Let them use the vulnerable enemy forces along the line to sharpen their abilities, and when they can really attack Huanglong Mansion and start a decisive battle with the Jin State, presumably the two of them and Wu Yu, Wu Lan, Liu Qi, Yu Yunwen and others who followed them in the battle will be even more terrifying than now, and will bring greater damage to the Jin Kingdom.

"Guo Shenxian really worked hard for my Great Song." Uncle Zhang was grateful and didn't know what to say, of course he understood that this was a perfect opportunity for these young generation of generals to sharpen themselves, and now that the court saw that the Jin soldiers were weakened, many unscrupulous people who wanted to compete for credit suddenly appeared, if it weren't for Li You's insistence, they really wouldn't be so easy to lead an army alone.

"I have already said that the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty still have to be guarded by your soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, you need to know that after a hundred years, there will be more vicious enemies going south, and then you can only rely on yourself." According to the speed of the expansion of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that it may not be able to attack the territory of the Mongols.

At this time, because the Jin State put its attention to the south, and had no time to pay attention to those tribes on the steppe, Temujin's great-grandfather Hebul took the opportunity to break away from the rule of the Jin State on the Mongolian steppe and stand on his own, expand the territory, and become more and more powerful, and the nearby tribes have elected him as the leader of the Mongolian tribes, called "Hebul Khan", if the Great Song Dynasty destroyed the Jin State, maybe the Mongols will start their own expansion earlier than the original history, but now it seems that this opportunity can be used to bury a pit for the Mongols? When I thought of the Mongolian Li You, I had a new idea.

There are three important covenants in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, these three covenants can be said to determine the fate of the Great Song Dynasty, the first is the Song Liaoyuan Alliance, although the Great Song Dynasty has to pay a lot of coins every year to maintain peace with the Liao State, but this money is almost worthless for the rich Great Song Dynasty, they can free up their hands to develop themselves, and develop the Great Song Dynasty into one of the richest dynasties in Chinese history, this covenant can be said to be more cost-effective.

The second item is the alliance between Song and Jin on the sea, the two sides agreed: Jin took the Dading Mansion of Liao Zhongjing, and the Song Dynasty took the Xijin Mansion of Nanjing of Liao, and after the death of Liao, the Song Dynasty transferred the coins originally given to Liao to the Jin State, and Jin agreed to return the land of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to the Song Dynasty. At first glance, this alliance seemed to be extremely beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately the Great Song Dynasty did not have the ability to implement this alliance, and Tong Guan's Northern Expedition was defeated by the already weakened Liao army, and in the end he could only use money to buy back the sixteen states of Yanyun, which also made the Jin State see the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty, so that he coveted the rich land in the south, which led to the disaster of health.

The third item is similar to the second, the Southern Song Dynasty did not learn the lesson of the Jingkang disaster, and united with the Mongols, who were more ferocious than the Jin State, against the Jurchens; After this battle, Jin Aizong was defeated by the Song and Mongolian coalition forces in Caizhou and committed suicide, and the Jin State was completely destroyed, and the Southern Song Dynasty became an opponent for the Mongols, and was destroyed by the Mongols more than forty years later.

Now it seems that it is possible to promote the Song-Mongol alliance to jointly flank the Jurchens, on the one hand, to reduce their own losses, and on the other hand, to weaken the strength of the Mongols by the way, and to test their hypocrisy; After making up his mind, Li You told Uncle Zhang about his thoughts.

"It's... The previous alliance with the Jin people attracted the siege ......of the Jin soldiers, and now he is making a contract with the Mongols, "Zhang Shuye hesitated slightly, after all, the Jingkang Revolution had just happened, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty were now full of vigilance against foreign races.

"The so-called covenant is only useful if the two sides are equal in strength." Li You didn't care much, this was completely different from the situation faced by the Song-Mongolian alliance in the future, "In the past, the Great Song Dynasty was far weaker than the Jin State to cause such a catastrophe, but now the strength of the Mongols is far inferior to the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not as good as the Jin State, and it should be the Mongols who should worry about betraying the alliance at that time." ”

The current Hebul is far from being able to compare with Temujin in the future, so what does Li You have to worry about. (To be continued.) )
