The first meeting was held at the Taishi Mansion the next day after the adjustment of the Supreme Leadership Team of the Great Jin Kingdom. The meeting was chaired by Taishi Wushu. The participants were Taigu Wanyan Zongmin, Taifu Wanyan Zongxiong, and the assistant to the political affairs Tang Kuo.

The deputy commander Wanyan Yanying and the right prime minister of the Secretariat Zhang Hao, attended the meeting including the Minister of War Heshilie Zhining, the Hedian Guardian Pusan ​​Zhongyi and Wanyan Alin. The topics of the meeting were of course the biggest faced by the Jin Dynasty.

Crisis - the Southern and Northern Expedition.

Wu Shu looked at the people in the hall but felt a little bitter. According to the saying, Wanyan Liang and Wanyan Yong should have sat among them to discuss national affairs with him, but the two descendants of the two families he had tried hard to cultivate died, and he had to put them in

I've re-activated it, and the Great Jin Kingdom has no successor.

For Wanyan Liang, Wu Shu was so sorry that this child was not strong enough. The child walked too smoothly under the protection of the emperor, and his ambitions expanded. He colluded with the queen and court officials to do something wrong. He moved him to Jinzhou and wanted to keep him away from the court.

The disputes in the country have accumulated some experience in the political army, which is useful. Unexpectedly, his nature is difficult to change. He did not forget to compete for power when the enemy was in the face of a great enemy, framed the supervisor Sa Li and forced him to surrender to Song.

, lost a great help, and finally the city was destroyed and was killed. It is said that he still took Xiao Yu to death and thought about helping him make a comeback. It was really sad.

If you love and hate Wanyan Liang, then you can only have deep apology and regrets to Wanyan Yong. Among his many nephews, Wanyan Yong can be said to be a rare talent for civil and military talents, and has a stable personality.

, with careful work, good character, and no great ambition for power. His plan was to take over his position and assist the emperor in a hundred years. But a coup made his plan fail, and he also knew Wanyan Yong

It was wronged, but the arrested person insisted that he would succeed to the throne after the coup was successful, which made him unable to defend him, making him feel uneasy and deeply regretful.

"Digunai was defeated by Jinzhou and was killed. Wulu soldiered to the enemy in Liaoyang City. The garrison of Shenzhou obeyed his orders and rebelled against the enemy. The garrison of Guidezhou was killed in battle. The southern gateway opened, and now all Tokyo Roads fell into the hands of the Song army. Xiangan

The road is already under the enemy's southern army. Now there are urgent reports every day, requiring the court to send troops to reinforce. The Wu people have lost Changchun Prefecture for more than a month because the enemy's western army has wandered on the banks of the Yazi River on Zhaohui Road during the rainy season.

After more than a month, I am heading east now, which means crossing the river to capture Zhaozhou. Do you think how to deal with the enemy?" Wu Shu said on the soft couch.

"Well, after several months of hard fighting, our Great Jin Kingdom still cannot stop the momentum of the Southern Dynasty's offensive, and has lost a large number of elite troops. The only prefectures and counties controlled are Xiangan Road, Huining Prefecture, Shangjing Road and Zhaohui Road eastern regions.

The depth of defense was greatly reduced, and the troops were extremely short of force." Wanyan Zongmin stood up and said.

"Yes, now the five countries have occupied Hosuguan Road with the help of the Song army. The Khitans controlled most prefectures and counties of Huligai Road, completely cut off all our contacts with the outside world at sea, and obtained from Goryeo and Fusang

All the materials roads were blocked, and the fall of Liaoyang made our copper and iron and food supply even more tense." Wanyan Zongxiong also echoed.

What the two of them said actually had nothing substantial, they were more of an explanation of what Wu Shu said, and they were very respectful when speaking. They did not dare to go beyond the slightest, and they did not have any brothers who had worked with them for many years. In fact, this was also

It's easy to understand. Everyone saw what happened yesterday. Wushu is the biggest "watermelon" in the Jin Dynasty. He doesn't nod, and God doesn't dare to rain. Even if he is a major minister in the court, he just needs to show his opinion.

The attitude can get him off and get rid of his post.

In fact, this phenomenon has existed throughout the dynasties, and the reason for its formation is very simple, because each dynasty must go through a stage of "hero governing the country" at the beginning of its founding, which is also inevitable when consolidating the new regime, and bringing together military and political power.

The historical mission of the rule of man. The great power lies in whether one can use ideals, morality and national laws to restrain oneself and regulate one's behavior. To a large extent, it depends on one's own character and cultivation.

The two founding monarchs of the Jin Kingdom were both old and failed to complete their great cause. They gave the unfinished cause to a child, putting the country at a critical point of progress or retreat, and if done well, they would go to a level

If it is not done well, it may continue, and this inevitably leads to the phenomenon of powerful ministers as the ruler. In a sense, the twenty-year history of the founding of the Jin Dynasty was written by powerful ministers.

Wu Shu's strengths are undeniable. He was the most military commander and politician in the Jin Dynasty after the death of Han Li Bu and Zong Han. He also liked power. For this reason, he used the help of the emperor and the support of the army to kill him one after another.

Le Zonggan, Zong Qing and others. These people were his brothers, and they even went to the battlefield together and fought for the Great Jin Kingdom. They could not be said to be without feelings, but they were all mercilessly removed. Wanyan Dan

The only thing that is thankful is that his fourth uncle only wants to be a powerful minister and does not want to be an emperor, otherwise his throne would have changed hands long ago, and Wu Shu's methods also made everyone in the court and the people respect it.

"Well, you two are right. The enemy's two attacks make it difficult for us to fight on both sides, making it difficult for each other to support each other, and it is even more impossible to concentrate our troops to annihilate one of the enemy. Zhao Er's plan is so poisonous!" Wu Shu said.

"Tai Shi, Zhao Er dared to divide his troops into attacks like this, but he relied on sharp firearms to open the way, but he also needed to consume more materials. This is also the reason why he chose to start the war in the spring and summer season when the war was most unsuitable.

With the help of Liaodong's convenient water network, the officials thought that as long as we could last until the coldest time in September, the enemy would have to withdraw because they could not transport water to supplement the supplies." Wanyan Zongmin said, and he had to say that he was still very sensible

, it shows the serious dependence of the Song army on logistics.

"Alu Bu, you are right, but the Song army is now unstoppable, and our army cannot compete with it. Even the strong city barriers like Jietui and Liaoyang cannot stop their attack. What are your countermeasures?" Wu Shu pointed at him.

The first thing I said, but how to hold back the attack speed of the Song army is still a difficult problem.

"The officials thought that we could not stop the enemy's attack because we needed to defend too many prefectures and counties, which made the troops too scattered, with more than 10,000 people and fewer than 10,000. Although the Song army divided the troops into two groups, there were tens of thousands of them in each group.

The crowd, and there were many state troops who helped the war, were responsible for defending the newly won land, which led to our army's defeat in one battle, which was very severely damaged." Wanyan Zongmin said.

"What you mean is that we can give up some small prefectures and counties, concentrate our troops in dangerous places, and use our military advantages to block the attack of the Song army, so as to achieve the goal of delaying time." Wu Shu thought for a while and said.

"This is exactly what the Xiaguan said. We gave up some prefectures and counties, took away all the food and property, and organized Ding Zhuang into the army, leaving only the elderly, weak, women and children. Zhao Er not only needed to draw troops to defend and make the attack.

The power was gradually weakened, and some food and money were needed to be distributed to the people, which required a large amount of food and grass to consume, increasing the difficulty of its supply, forcing him to stop and wait to replenish his baggage from time to time." Wanyan Zongmin said.

"Ming Lianghu, do you think what Alubu said is feasible?" Wu Shu looked at Wanyan Zongyong and said.

"Tai Shi, although what Alu Bu said is good, we will give up most prefectures and counties without fighting. Not only will His Majesty blame the blame, it will also affect the morale of the military and civilians and lose a large number of people!" Wanyan Zongyong said.

"The officials thought that Taibao's plan was feasible. We can take away food, grass, and wealth to supplement the country's use. Concentrating troops in one place can form a joint force, and increase the supply burden on the enemy. Weakening its strength is a matter of killing two birds with one stone." Tang Kuobian

But he agrees with this very much. Although this boy is just a son-in-law compared to everyone, his status is not low. He is Wanyan Tan's son-in-law. In order to take care of the emperor's face, Wu Shu also wants to calm his heart.

He was promoted to the prefect of Huining.

"The officials thought that they should not give up all prefectures and counties in an all-round way. Important military towns should still be defended, such as Zhaozhou and Huanglongfu. These are transportation hubs and large cities with convenient water and land transportation. Once the Song army captured it, it could be used as its food and grass.

The place where the transition is, we must not give up our opponents easily." Wanyan Zongyong frowned and said, "Now the people are in panic. If you leave, it will be difficult to gather together. The surrender of Liaoyang City will continue to happen. He sees the skills.

It seems that I am very interested in Alubu's suggestions, so I can only give my opinions in a tactful way.

"Well, these big cities must not be given up easily. They must also station heavy troops in it and fight them step by step." Wu Shu nodded slightly and said.

"Tai Shi, we can also send troops to lie in places with complex terrain and dense trees to harass the enemy marching brigade, attack its baggage team, and detour to the rear where the troops are weak, so that it will not be peaceful and have to go back.

Army rescue.” Wanyan Qiying also suggested that this was the secret skill of the Jurchens, and they gradually grew stronger and defeated the Liao army.

"Okay, as long as we can drag the Song army until the cold winter comes, we can defeat Zhao Er, recover Liaodong, and then restore Yanyun." Wu Shu encouraged him greatly.

"Tai Shi, if the Song army's Western Route Army takes Zhaozhou, it will be only a water away from the capital, and it will be able to reach the city in less than a few days. Now the plan is to defend Zhaozhou first." Heshilie Zhining said,

I was talking lively, but I only thought about Zhao Erli, and forgot about the army under my nose.

"Zhaozhou is the place where Taizu defeated the king of Zhaoji in Liao, and he must not lose it. I think that Taizu could defeat the 100,000 Liao army with 3,000 troops. Since then, all the Khitans have fled to the wind. What a hero! We must not

Insulting Taizu's reputation, he must block the Song army here so that it cannot get close to the capital." Wu Shu said solemnly. The battle in Zhaozhou more than 30 years ago can be called the Jurchens' rebellion.

The first shot of the Khitan oppression is of great significance. It is no longer a matter of gain or loss in a city, but a major event related to the reputation of the Jurchens. Therefore, it can only win but not lose... (To be continued)
