The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 473 The Dilemma of Peace and War

"Taishi, this is too alarmist. My Great Jin Kingdom just lost the barbaric land in the northwest. Although the Zuo Zhengfu suffered losses, he was still fighting fiercely. His ancestors still have their foundation, and they have hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers.

The Jurchens can carry swords and get on the horse at any time, but they are still afraid of the Southern Dynasty. Now the Southern Dynasty is small and it is not easy to annex my great gold. Zhao Erruo knows the current affairs, how could he refuse to negotiate!" As soon as Wu Shu said, everyone in the palace was

He was shocked, but the right chief of the Shangshu Wanyan Zongben disagreed with Wu Shu's statement and made a rebuttal.

"Right Prime Minister, the Song army's massive invasion was not accidental. Zhao Erchu was determined to launch the Northern Expedition for so many years. The fundamental purpose was to eliminate the Jin Kingdom, but it was not just to ask for some compensation and land, so he would never go with the Jin Kingdom.

At this time, the peace talks." Deputy Director Wanyan Yan said in Yingyan. He knew that Wushu's words were definitely not alarmist. As long as a person is not a fool, and there are not so many saints in the world, no one will have an absolute advantage.

If they stop, they will definitely maximize their own interests, and Zhao Er is one of them.

"Deputy Dushang, what you mean is that the Southern Dynasty wanted to swallow our Great Jin Kingdom in one bite. This is a joke. Don't forget that the Southern Dynasty repeatedly asked us for peace twenty years ago and paid annual monies, even if our national strength was not as good as that of the past.

, But it would be a matter of day and night to destroy our Jin Dynasty!" Shangshu Zuo Cheng Wanyan Zongxian also believed that the situation had not yet deteriorated to irreversible, and the Song Dynasty did not have the ability to destroy the Jin Dynasty.

"Left Prime Minister, the Southern Dynasty was no longer the Southern Dynasty at that time. Our Right General's Mansion had a hundred thousand troops. We only persisted for more than a month and then lost the entire line. The Left General's Mansion had only half a month, and the Song army had already entered the border.

Hundreds of miles, Jinzhou City has been surrounded!" Wanyan Qiying sneered in her heart. This old antique still doesn't understand the current situation. Now the Right General's Mansion is over. The remaining soldiers brought back by Pusan ​​Zhongyi, and the northwest defense line suddenly opened.

The Zuo Zheng Mansion has lost more than half of its troops, leaving only the lonely city of Jinzhou. Once the Song army completes its combat preparations for Liaoyang, it will be completely isolated, and the Zuo Zheng Mansion is actually in danger.

"This is all because the court does not pay attention to the employment of people, and the failure of the Right General's Office is because the Right General's Office is panicked when encountering trouble, and leaving the defending ground without any loss, causing the Right General to lose his foundation and his retreat to be cut off; and the Song army can quickly capture Laizhou

, Xizhou, and the left-level supervisor, was also the reason why Sali, the Left Supervisor, traitor and surrendered to the enemy, and led the wolf into the house for the vanguard. Therefore, the most urgent task is to severely punish the traitors, kill the nine clans to serve as a warning, and boost the morale of our army to benefit the fight again."

Wanyan Zongxian thought that the series of failures in the preceding period were all due to the two people not fighting, and pointed the finger at Taishi Wushu and implied that there was something wrong with him in employing people.

"The left and right military supervisors are important officials of the country, either as royal families or as meritorious officials. They may have something to say. As far as I know, the left military supervisor reinforces the border trench halfway through the journey to the border, and

There is no danger to defend in the small town of Laizhou. He ordered the soldiers and civilians to withdraw to Xizhou before the Song army arrived. It was not wrong to rely on the natural danger defense of the Liuzhou River. However, some people were malicious and suspicious, while some people in the court were encouraged to fuel the fire.

Putting him to death resulted in his helplessness in surrendering to the enemy. Wanyan Bingde was also recommended by someone in the court!" Wanyan Yanying said with a sneer.

Wanyan Yan Ying knew that the Grand Tutor wanted Wanyan Bingde to retire, because Wanyan Zongxiannian strongly recommended him to Changchun Prefecture in his own sect. Wushu swept the treasury at Wanyan Bingde and ran to Zuo Shuai's Mansion and surrendered to Wanyan

Liang, a minister impeached him for his resignation without punishing him. He was also considering that the situation was unstable and he was worried that another one would be released, so he was suppressed to avoid being in a bad mood. Unexpectedly,

Now he is turning his back on the sarcasm and can't help but feel sarcastic in his words.

"Your Majesty, I think you should still have a peace talk. Now that there are enemies outside and wars are constantly coming inside, there will be concerns about the destruction of the country if you continue to fight!" Wanyan Zongxian said that he is now editing the history of the country and knows a lot about domestic affairs.

I knew that the Jin Kingdom was no longer the Jin Kingdom of the past.

After Wanyan Dan ascended the throne, the country's civil strife continued, the political situation was unstable, and it suffered consecutive losses in the war, losing the prosperous land of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and having to move a large number of people into the inner world. The Jurchens moved back in large numbers, and the government also

To grant them land, it would inevitably invade the land of the local people. The conflict between the lost people and the Jurchens became increasingly acute, which aroused the people to continue to resist the court's policies.

At the same time, after Wu Shu took office, in order to prevent the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty, he recruited strong men to join the army and built boundary moats. The people were "impatient to collect taxes". All the strong men of the Jurchens, Khitans and Xi ethnic groups had to be enlisted, which was not enough.

, and forced the Han people to recruit strong men. Ding men could not engage in agricultural production, and the army needed a large amount of food and wages, which caused an economic crisis. This also aroused the anti-Jin struggle of people of all ethnic groups. At this time, many areas in the country "thieves rose up, and the biggest ones were connected to the city."

The smallest one protects the mountain and lakes.”

Judging from the war with Song, the Jin Dynasty was in a situation of failure. At this time, unlike the early Jin Dynasty, the Jurchen nobles were in the era of slave society. Slave owners and nobles actively supported the war to satisfy their greed for plunder. At this time, the Jurchens had already turned

In the transition of feudal society, most of the Jurchen nobles had become addicted to the life of wealth and pleasure and were unwilling to charge on the battlefield. Most of the army of the Jin Dynasty was recruited by the powerful men from various ethnic groups, and naturally they were unwilling to fight. Therefore, the Jin Dynasty was over and over.

Economic poverty and war-weariness from top to bottom are not conducive to the continued war, so peace talks are naturally the best strategy.

"I also think that it is not conducive to the fight again. We should negotiate peace with the Southern Dynasty as soon as possible when the situation of the war is still beneficial to us. The longer the delay will be more unfavorable!" Xiao Zhonggong also preached.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if the energy has warmed up today, spring farming is about to be plowed, but the strong men are recruited into the army. If the farming season is missed, there will be no grains and no food or salary this year, and it is impossible to fight!" King Wanyan Xu of Zhao also joined in the fun and said in a fun way.

He always hated Wu Shu for resigning, but we asked you to do what you don’t want to do.

"Taishi, what do you think?" Wanyan Tan asked as he listened to the ministers' speeches and looked at Wu Shu who was sitting on his own.

"Ahem... peace talks are not allowed." Wu Shu saw that the emperor was showing signs of a rampage, and the important officials in the court supported peace talks one-sidedly, and he was already in isolation and pondered for a moment.

"Taishi, this..." He Shilie Zhining, the Minister of War, saw that his father-in-law actually compromised in public. This was not a good sign. They were going to take the opportunity to make trouble. Could it be that the Taishi couldn't see it? He couldn't help but say shocked.

"Although the war between the Song and Jin Dynasties is fierce, there is no chance of peace talks at all, but unless the situation reverses, it is definitely not the best time, and the Southern Dynasties will not agree, even if they agree to the peace negotiation, they will ask for a price everywhere.

"Wu Shu waved his hand to stop his son-in-law and said slowly.

"When is the best time to negotiate peace?" Wanyan Tan didn't want to fight, but he couldn't make the decision even if the master didn't speak. Now he finally vomited under pressure and asked happily.

"Liaoyang Prefecture, as long as we defend Liaoyang, peace can be achieved!" Wu Shu said slowly. Through years of experience in fighting with Zhao Er, he thought that Zhao Er would continue to attack, achieve a joint attack between the two groups, and join forces to Beijing.

The combat concept; and the defeat in Liaoyang City, the Song army became a lame giant. The Western Route Army would never go deeper rashly, but would only conduct restraining tactical actions in the grassland area, waiting for the next order. At this time, Jin was

Only when the State proposed negotiations could the Southern Dynasties accept it. Although there might be repetitions, Zhao Er knew the current affairs the most and would not miss this opportunity.

"What does peace talk have to do with Liaoyang Prefecture?" Wanyan Zongben and others did not expect Wu Shu to surrender, but were confused about the timing of the peace talks he proposed. He asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty, I know a little about the meaning of the Grand Master. Can you tell me about it?" Wanyan Qiying saw Wu Shu tilting on the chair, knowing that his body was unable to support him after a long time, so he took the conversation and said.

"Well, you said!" Wanyan Tan nodded and agreed.

"Your Majesty, sirs, Liaoyang is an important hub connecting the Central Plains and western Liaoning. If the Song army conquered this place in one fell swoop, it would open the southern gate that penetrated into the hinterland of our Great Jin Kingdom, and then it could go to the capital along the Liaohe River. Furthermore, this area is Jin.

The richest place in the country is also the center of wealth, and they will never let it go. If the Song army cannot capture Liaoyang Prefecture for a while, the two armies will enter a stalemate stage; if they are defeated in Liaoyang, the Song army will be in the Left Commander's Prefecture

Under the attack of the Liaoyang Army, we will withdraw quickly. If the southern attack fails, our army will have all our strength to deal with another Song army coming from the northwest. Therefore, the key point of this victory is now Liaoyang Prefecture."

Yan Yanying explained.

"Will this be the Song army's plan to attack the east and west again? It's fake to attack Liaoyang and Jinzhou true?" It seems that the Song army's attacking the east and west made everyone know the Jin people, and even nerds like Wanyan Zongxian know it.

He asked back.

"Alas, at first Zhao Er might have had this intention, and he pretended to attack Liaoyang to force our Zuo Zheng Mansion to divide his troops, or withdraw his troops because he was worried that the retreat would be cut off. But now Sali Hexian City surrendered, allowing the Song army to march straight into the city of Jinzhou.

There is no need to use any sound to attack the east and west. If Liaoyang loses, Jinzhou will only need to surround but not attack, and it will also trap it to death. Now I am worried that Liaoyang will send troops to reinforce Jinzhou to weaken its strength and make the city unsecured!"

Yan Qingying sighed and said.

"Did the Grand Tutor mean to reinforce Liaoyang and give up Jinzhou?" Wanyan Dan, who had been in a daze on the imperial throne, suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty, this is what I mean. Only when Liaoyang is not lost can we negotiate peace with the Southern Dynasties." Wu Shu nodded and replied.

"No, give up Jinzhou, what should Nadiguna do? Let's discuss peace with the Southern Dynasty and stop them from attacking Jinzhou. You must rescue him!" Wanyan Dan said loudly with the imperial case.

"Your Majesty, this..." Wu Shu saw the emperor getting angry and felt a sense of powerlessness. He said it for a long time in vain. He was deeply in love with brothers, and he had not forgotten Wanyan Liang's heart when he died to the forefront.

Good brother who wants to usurp power...r1152
