Chapter 245: It's Cold in the Heights
Wanyan Wu begged to buy his gaze on the faces of many officials in the account.
In the end, his gaze softened a lot, and he whispered to Wanyan Zonggan: "Zonggan, I want to hear your thoughts. ”
The person who was asked was Wanyan Zonggan.
One of the four great Jaefu of the Kingdom of Jin.
Ginting's number five.
Zong Gan got up and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I suggest that we withdraw Wanyan Fu, we will not attack the northwest of the Song Dynasty for the time being, but we must leave the three-way army of Muhan and Jin Wushu and Wanyan Zongfu." ”
"Oh? What do you say? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, especially the army of Zongfu and Wushu can threaten the land of the Song Kingdom and the Huai, which is the granary of the Song Dynasty."
"We can occupy. As for the northwest of the Song Dynasty, it was a military town, in addition to the soldiers were soldiers, and the people in the northwest were still martial, even if we attacked strongly, both were defeated, so the minister thought that the northwest region could be put on hold first, but supported Wushu and Zongfu to take down the land of the two Huai of the Song Dynasty, so that our army could rely on the two Huai to besiege the Bianliang City of the Song Dynasty for a long time, with the food support of the Lianghuai region, the Bianliang City will be broken, and the Zhao royal family will surrender. ”
After listening to it, Yan Wu begged to buy it, and felt that it made sense.
But in this matter, he himself convened everyone to discuss it, and he wanted to target Xiangguo.
Although Zong Gan's reason is valid, it is not in line with the political interests that Wanyan Wu wants now.
So he didn't give an affirmative answer, nor did he deny it, but looked at Wanyan Zongwang who was in a wheelchair: "Zongwang, I want to hear your opinion?" ”
Wanyan Zongwang wanted to stand up, but the violent dry cough made him unable to stand up smoothly.
Wanyan Wu begged and said, "Zongwang, you can sit and talk. ”
"Yes." Wanyan Zongwang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said weakly: "Your Majesty, according to your subordinates, our original strategic goal has been negligent, or even deviated. ”
"You go on."
"Your Majesty thinks that the first task of my Dajin Kingdom is not to use troops against the Song Dynasty in the south."
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of exclamation from the big account of the Five Kingdoms City.
Wanyan Wu begged to sit upright, seemed to have a strong interest, and asked, "You speak slowly." ”
Wanyan Zongwang said: "Dajin's potential biggest opponent now is not Song, but ...... Ahem......"
"Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor."
The Emperor hurriedly waved his hand.
Wanyan Zongwang waved his hand and said, "No need, Your Majesty knows your own situation, and I am afraid that time is running out." ”
Wanyan Zongwang has been cold in history.
It was the year when Liang was in Jingkang and returned to the Five Kingdoms City.
It's just because of Zhao Shuo's appearance that the timeline of history has changed.
After Yan Zongwang dragged the sick body back to the Five Kingdoms City.
Also because of his physical complaints, coupled with Sticky Han's intention to suppress him.
Therefore, although Zong Wang was one of the commanders of the Five Routes Expedition Song army.
However, he did not take his own army south to attack the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, for the sake of favor, Zongwang promoted Yan Zongfu to be the commander of the First Army.
At this time, after he coughed dryly, the blood soaked in the handkerchief became more and more black.
Historically, he had lung disease.
When he speaks, he has no confidence at all, and he is accompanied by hoarseness.
Historians agree that the root cause of Zongwang's illness was caused by the rash southward migration to the water and soil.
All in all, the signs of his critical illness at the moment are already well known.
This also made Wanyan Wu Qimai feel extra concerned about what he was going to say next.
After all, there is a good saying; A man is dying, and his words are good.
As the emperor of the Jin State, it is also difficult for him to hear truly powerful advice to the country.
It's not that I don't say it, but the power of the Golden Court has been divided.
"Your Majesty, it is not easy for my Dajin to have the prosperity it has today. Once established, when trying to prosper for centuries. ”
"You can't bury Daikin's centuries-old legacy for the sake of momentary ambition."
"Therefore, I think that Daikin is currently a potential threat to us."
"Your Majesty's top priority is to integrate the various ministries and resolve everyone's conflict."
"My Dajin has risen since Taizu, and in just twelve years, he has destroyed the Liao State that dominates the Eurasian continent, and the current vastness of Dajin's territory has reached the Song Dynasty in the south, which makes the Xixia people tremble and dare not speak."
"However, it is under this strong exterior that there is a hidden crisis."
"The political power in many parts of our Jin country has not yet stabilized, and the authority of the imperial court has not covered those places, so this has led to an imbalance in the annual conscription and tax collection, which has led to human nature and detachment."
"Hmm."
Wanyan Wu Qimai suddenly realized that he should have reused Zongwang earlier.
Because what Zong Wang said was a real strategy.
It's not the brutal and brutal strategy of external expansion like Sticky Han.
Rather, it was a strategy to maintain the longevity of the Jin Dynasty by means of governance.
"What else?" Wanyan Wu asked urgently.
"Your Majesty, there is another point of threat, which is the most important thing."
Wanyan Zongwang said: "The Mongolians of the steppe. ”
"Mongolia was originally a vassal of the Great Liao, and the blood flowing in their bones belongs to the same source as the Khitan of the Liao royal family."
"They are galloping on the grassland, expanding wantonly, and their momentum is comparable to that of us in the territory of Daliao at the beginning."
"If we don't curb their expansion, the Khitan people will attack most of our Jurchens in the future, and the top priority is to subdue the Mongols, or assimilate, or suppress, in short, to completely eliminate future troubles."
The Mongolia mentioned by Wanyan Zongwang is a vassal of the Liao State.
It can also be said to be the brother regime of the Yelu family of the Liao State.
In the original history, after Dajin destroyed the Liao State.
The main battle faction in the city of the Five Kingdoms was eager to take aim at the Song Dynasty in the south.
The generals led by Mu Han and Wan Yan Fu shouted that they wanted to destroy the Song Dynasty.
So the Mongols rose rapidly in this historical window and declared their independence.
Therefore, Wanyan Zongwang is now raising these questions, which is enough to prove that he is a strategist.
Finding that there was silence in the account, Zong Wang continued: "According to the information obtained by His Majesty, Hebul on the steppe has been elected Khan by the Mongols. ”
"And there is another point that must not be overlooked, Yelu Dashi, the powerful minister of my enemy of the Great Liao State in the past, was not defeated and died, but disappeared after the Liao Border War that year and transferred to the camp of the Mongols."
"That guy is a staunch anti-gold faction, if he is not destroyed, I am afraid that there is a danger of subversion in the future generations of my Dajin."
It can be said that Zongwang's words are from the bottom of his heart.
Many people in the account were silent and lost in thought.
Even Emperor Wanyan Wu begged for purchase was no exception.
The historical Jin State is indeed the absolute hegemon of the entire Eurasian continent at this point in time.
