The war is going on, and the Jin people are having a hard time.

Gradually, the Jin people, the peace faction is rising.

The Southern Song Dynasty was also not having a good time, fighting on two fronts, whether it was Yue Fei or Han Shizhong, they were unbearable, and the Southern Song Dynasty had financial deficits and continuous deficits for many years. has been able to persist until now because of the tenacity of the people and Zhao Gou's big heart.

The Southern Song Dynasty was a little unbearable, and the peace faction was also on the rise.

It's just a peace faction, no longer Qin Hui, but someone else......

After bidding farewell to five years and returning to Jiangnan again, Liu Xiu suddenly felt like a dream.

Soon after, Liu Xiu met Zhao Gou.

At this moment, Zhao Gou's head was full of gray hair, he was much older, his face was full of exhaustion, he was only twenty-five years old, but he seemed to be fifty-two years old.

"I'm repeating my mistakes again, and if there are no accidents, it won't be long before I can negotiate peace!" Zhao Gou sighed and said: "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all want to negotiate peace, but there are only a few people who are unwilling to negotiate peace; The people of Jiangnan all want to negotiate peace, but are unwilling to fight. They are not willing to shed blood and sweat for illusory ideals! ”

"Everyone is angry, everyone wants to negotiate peace, and I can't refuse. If I refuse, it won't be long before another mutiny, and I'll die! ”

Zhao Gou sighed, knowing what the general trend of history is.

You can only follow the trend, you can't move against the current, and if you forcibly go against the current, you will only die a miserable death.

He is an emperor and cannot go against the current.

Negotiation of peace is the general trend.

Once, Yue Fei went upstream, and there was the death of Fengbo Pavilion; If he goes against the current, there will be a mutiny, and he will die.

"It's a pity ......" Liu Xiu sighed: "Your Majesty, among the previous dynasties, that dynasty has the strongest military strength!" ”

"If you talk about the strong soldiers in the world, it should be Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Tang Taizong and others!!" Zhao Gou commented.

"This is also a fallacy!" Liu Xiu said lightly: "Qin Xiaogong, King Qin Huiwen, King Qin Zhao, etc., have completed ninety steps in the unification of the Qin Dynasty; Qin Shi Huang only took the last ten steps. His success stands on the shoulders of those who came before him; Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty laid the foundation for the strength and prosperity of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took advantage of the situation to collect the fruits. ”

"The predecessors paved the way, and they reaped the fruit. If Your Majesty had the foundation of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, he would have destroyed Jin as soon as possible. No matter how smart and strategic, His Majesty is not inferior to them, the only thing inferior to them is that there is no good father, let alone a good grandfather! ”

Zhao Gou said again: "What about Tang Taizong?" ”

"Tang Taizong is a famous general, but he is not a famous handsome!" Liu Xiu said lightly: "The famous handsome is Li Jing, not Tang Taizong." Tang Taizong, who uses soldiers like gods, can control an army of up to 50,000, and no matter how many troops there are, they are powerless. Tiger Prison Battle and capture Dou Jiande, that's luck! It is not difficult to win a war, but to win a war, but to capture the emperor of a country, only Tang Taizong has such luck! Since ancient times, it has been better to lose Luoyang than to lose Hedong. If Dou Jiande did not attack the tiger prison, but attacked Hedong and occupied Hedong, at that time, Xia and Tang would have clashed repeatedly, and the world would not have known! ”

"However, war should never count on luck, let alone expect the enemy to make mistakes. The enemy makes mistakes, that's luck. The enemies are all shrewd to the extreme, that's the normal rhythm! Originally, Tang Taizong was just a famous general, not a famous handsome, but in fact, it was nothing. But in his later years, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was too famous, and wanted to surpass Emperor Yang of Sui, and went to Goguryeo to conquer Goguryeo. As a result, the 200,000-strong army, he couldn't control it, there were too many troops, which led to chaotic logistics, insufficient preparation, defeat of Goguryeo, and heavy losses! On the contrary, it was his son Li Zhi, who was self-aware, and never drove the expedition in person, letting the right people do the right things, but destroying Goguryeo! ”

Zhao Gou said: "National teacher, what does this mean? ”

Liu Xiudao: "Your Majesty doesn't have a good father, no good grandfather, and you can't be a rich second generation, so you can only work hard and learn from Liu Bang!" Liu Bangcai is a little average, but he has the wisdom to know people, and the key to knowing people is to know himself and have accurate positioning! ”

Zhao Gou suddenly asked, "What does the national teacher mean by this?" ”

Liu Xiu said lightly: "In the past dynasties, only the Eastern Han Dynasty was the best at using soldiers. The Eastern Han Dynasty reduced the army, and the national army was less than 150,000, but the army was small and fine, and the army was small and good at fighting. The Western Han Dynasty conquest, the labor expedition, dispatched hundreds of thousands, whether it was victory or defeat, the national strength was lost a lot. But the Eastern Han Dynasty went on an expedition, but it was only 350,000, but it was good at alliing with the armies of all ethnic groups, with outstanding combat power and most of the victories! Once Bangu, only thirty-six people, but he raised hundreds of thousands of coalition troops in the Western Regions and defeated the Xiongnu several times! ”

"Whether it is the military system of the Western Han Dynasty or the military system of the Tang Dynasty, the essence is that all the people are soldiers, and the soldiers are mainly peasants, half peasants and half soldiers, with limited combat effectiveness, and once defeated, the casualties are not small; But the Eastern Han Dynasty was a professional army, the army was composed of nobles, and they could fight well, and each time they sent troops was only 350,000, but they won the majority of battles! The Western Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were all said to be reckless; But the number of wars in the Eastern Han Dynasty is not less than that of these two dynasties, but there is no shortage of military force! ”

In terms of military system, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Mongolian Army, and the Eight Banners Army are all extremely similar, they are all few and fine, good at alliing with foreign races, breaking more with less, and being good at driving away foreign races and consuming the enemy.

At the peak of Genghis Khan, the army was no more than 150,000.

"There are too many troops, it's useless!" Liu Xiu said: "The Qin Dynasty has a million army, but when it comes to destruction, where is the million army; The Northern Song Dynasty had a million army, but when it came to the moment of destruction, where was the million army! The army is numerous and chaotic, the loss of grain and grass is numerous, the good and the bad are uneven, and the logistical pressure is great, and once the logistics are cut off, the whole army will collapse. Han Xin ordered soldiers, the more the merrier, but there are a few Han Xin! But even Han Xin, at the peak moment, when he faced off against the weakest overlord, he was defeated in the early stage; In the later stage, it was only by relying on fatigue to defeat the overlord. ”

Liu Xiu sighed and said, "But with such good luck, Han Xin has never encountered it a few times in his life." ”

"National teacher, but there are too many strange troops!" Zhao Gou said.

"Your Majesty wants to make up for the lack of quality and quantity, the idea is good, but the means are very bad. The mobilization ability of the Song Dynasty was not as good as that of the Qin State, and the tenacity of the people was not as good as that of the Qin people. has been able to persist until now, and there is no loss of the country, it is simply the blessing of the ancestors! ”

Liu Xiu said lightly: "The war should be over, three years, end the war!" ”
