The relationship between Xin Xingzong and Liu Yanqing... Everyone knows that if this matter is resolved as soon as possible and handled safely, Liu Yanqing must come forward.

Liu Yanqing sighed secretly. He always wanted to be low-key, but he was in a high position. He couldn't help but keep it low. In fact, as long as Yue Fei took action, it would definitely be solved. However, Yue Fei was eager to attack the Jianghuai River. The Central Plains War had just ended, and he had to raise his troops south. He didn't even have time to breathe in the middle. Where did he get the time to reorganize the army?

"Did the court intend to increase the number of Tiger and Steve Army?" Liu Yanqing hesitated for a long time and asked carefully. If the Han Palace does not intend to increase troops, then reorganization is just an excuse. The real purpose is to disband these troops. Reorganization and disbandment are completely different, and the difficulty cannot be compared.

Luo Sinan had no intention of increasing troops, at least he had no idea of ​​increasing troops for the time being, because he was powerless due to the shortage of financial and income in the court. Luo Sinan turned his eyes to Dong Xiaochou. Dong Xiaochou said he wanted to take the opportunity to increase troops?

"Now we must increase troops." Dong Xiaochou said solemnly. "Yue Fei conquered the Jianghuai River and drank the Yangtze River. Next, we will cross the river to fight. The main force of the army went to the southeast, and the Central Plains were empty. If the troops were not strong enough, how could he deter Hebei? My opinion is to increase troops immediately."

"Can military funds be solved?" Luo Sinan asked.

"As long as the southeast is pacified, the court's financial income will be completely improved immediately." Dong Xiaochou said, "There is no need to hesitate about this matter. Now the area we control is getting bigger and bigger, the battlefield is getting farther and farther, and the army is getting more and more, otherwise we will not be able to complete the great cause of unification."

Luo Sinan looked at Li Gang, Huang She, Chai Yun and others.

"If we can cross the Yangtze River next spring, then by the second half of next year, the court's financial situation will improve quickly." Li Gang said, "I agree with Dong Zhijin's opinion that the army will increase to 500,000 and maintain this number."

With the end of the Central Plains War, Shandong was already within reach. The day of the conquest of the Jianghuai River was not far away, and the prospects were bright. Of course, the army must be increased at this time to quickly complete the unification of China and Earth. The group of prime ministers had a very consistent opinion on this point, which was far beyond Luo Sinan's expectations. The court had always argued about the increase in troops, especially in the Deliberation Hall. They often used the financial crisis as an excuse to deliberately curb the expansion of Li Hu's strength. Now this situation has changed. Even Prime Minister Li Gang publicly supported the increase in troops.

Luo Sinan no longer hesitated, made decisive decisions and increased troops, so that the surrendered troops of Xin Xingzong and others could be properly resolved, and the difficulty of Liu Yanqing's persuasion was greatly reduced.

"I am eager to write to Yue Fei, Wang Yuan, and the court agreed to their attack strategy and asked them to quickly formulate specific plans and report to Chang'an."

After the meeting was completed, Li Gang and others immediately said goodbye and left.

Luo Sinan left Dong Xiaochou, asked him to go to the study room, and handed him a letter. This was a letter written by Li Hu from Dai Bei. When he wrote this letter, Li Hu was still in Jinhe Mountain, and then set off to join the Heishui River and the Desert.

After reading the letter carefully, Dong Xiaohou thought for a moment, and asked, "What does the general general mean to negotiate peace with the Jin Kingdom?"

"When he wrote this letter, he didn't know that the Central Plains War would end so soon, and it would end with a complete victory." Luo Sinan said, "Now Shandong is already our possession, and Yue Fei will fight Jianghuai immediately. According to Yue Fei's estimate, the battle between Jianghuai should be very smooth, and the army can sweep across the two Huaihe Rivers and approach Jiangning."

Speaking of this, Luo Sinan smiled and waved excitedly, "From the current situation in the southeast, we are absolutely sure to cross the Yangtze River, completely defeat the rebels, and pacify the entire southeast. So, is it necessary for us to negotiate peace talks with the Jin Kingdom now?"

Dong Xiaochou felt that Luo Sinan was too excited and kindly reminded: "The Chief General's consideration is very comprehensive. We first form an alliance with the Desert Fans and join forces to fight against the Jurchens. The purpose is to drag the main force of the Jin army to the north. Then we negotiate to reconcile the Jin Kingdom and not attack each other with the Jin army, in order to win the time to pacify the southeast. The Chief General's two strategies are to maintain a relatively stable situation in the north and win precious time for the main force of the Tiger Lie Army to sweep the southeast."

"We killed the Shandong Jin army in the Central Plains and severely damaged the Hebei Jin army. In this case, we should take the initiative to negotiate peace with the Jin people?" Luo Sinan's idea was different. Under the attack of the Tiger Lieutenant Army, the Jurchens were defeated repeatedly and could no longer defend Hebei. Therefore, Luo Sinan no longer took the Jin army seriously.

"The strength of the Jin army is still strong." Dong Xiaohou sighed, "So far, the Jurchens are still the dominant ruler in the north, and our alliance with the desert may not be solid. The situation in the north may change at any time. This is also an important reason why the general general rushed to Daibei in person."

"Do you suspect that this alliance may not be successful?" Luo Sinan asked.

"There is no practical significance to the success of the alliance." Dong Xiaochou said. "For the desert, survival is always one, followed by interests. What practical benefits can we give to the desert at present? No, except for the short promise, there is nothing, but the Jurchens and the deserts face each other, and the interests between the two are closely linked. As long as the Jurchens give the deserts the actual benefits, the deserts will inevitably be defeated. Even if they will not cross the Yinshan Mountain to plunder Daibei, it will at least not help us to restrain the Jurchens. Once the deserts and the Jurchens join forces, the situation in Daibei will be very dangerous, which will affect our pacification of the southeast."

Luo Sinan pondered and said nothing. Wuyan also persuaded this before, but she did not listen. Now when Dong Xiaochou said the same thing, she had to calm down and carefully weigh the pros and cons. As for her original intention, she hated the Jurchens. Her brother Luo Zhongyuan died at the hands of the Jurchens, and many of her relatives, as well as the Black Mountain soldiers who died. These hatreds gathered in her heart, making her hate the Jurchens extremely, and her desire for revenge was very strong. She was unwilling to argue with the Jurchens.

"We will pacify the southeast very quickly." Luo Sinan said stubbornly, "When the Jurchens destroy our alliance with the desert monks, we may have begun to attack Hebei."

"Everything is invisible. If there is a problem in the process of pacifying the southeast, and our alliance with the desert is destroyed by the Jurchens, and the Jin army will attack again, we will inevitably be in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides." Dong Xiaochou advised, "The Chief General's strategy is to prevent it. We cannot lose the big picture in this matter."

"But you must consider how much resistance the court will encounter when it forms an alliance with the Jin Kingdom at this moment. How bad the impact will it have." Luo Sinan shook his head and said, "When the Bianjing court negotiated peace with the Jin Kingdom, it turned out that it lost the people's hearts, the army's morale, and everything. We cannot repeat the same mistakes."

When Dong Xiaochou heard this, he hesitated and knew why Luo Sinan had to leave him to discuss it alone. The Central Plains had just killed the Jin army, and the court was impatient to negotiate peace with the Jin Kingdom. If this matter was leaked, it is conceivable how big the impact would be. The prestige that the court had worked hard to establish might be destroyed in an instant.

After thinking for a long time, starting from the general trend of the whole world and unifying Zhongtu as soon as possible, Dong Xiaochou still believes that Li Hu's consideration is correct, and he must make peace with the Jin Kingdom as soon as possible.

"We cannot ignore the Chief Commander's opinion..." Dong Xiaohou said tactfully.

"When he made this plan, the Central Plains War was not over yet. He had no idea that the Central Plains War ended with annihilation of Shandong Jin Army. If he knew that the Central Plains War was the result, would he still consider discussing the Jin Kingdom?" Luo Sinan interrupted Dong Xiaochou without hesitation.

"Your worries are very reasonable. The court openly negotiates peace, which will inevitably lead to criticism from all over the world." Dong Xiaochou immediately thought of a compromise method, "We can send someone to discuss peace secretly."

"But how can this be hidden from the court?" Luo Sinan said distressedly, "Our opponents are hiding in the dark. If the truth is revealed by them and spread around, the reputation of the Grand Marshal and I, the tiger steed man, will be seriously damaged."

After thinking about it, Dong Xiaohou thought about it and thought of someone, "Ship Luo is in Datong now, so we can ask him to come forward, so that he will be unaware of it."

"How is this possible?" Luo Sinan said, "The Jin army suffered a heavy blow. Although it may be willing to negotiate peace with us due to the situation, it is unreasonable. We must show sincerity to negotiate peace and agree to some unreasonable unjust requests from the Jurchens, so that the Jurchens will agree to peace. What should we use to express our sincerity? When we fulfill this promise, how can we do it without knowing it?"

Dong Xiaohou frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "Look, how about our sincerity in using prisoners of war as peace talks?"

"Power of war? How many prisoners of war can we seize at the end of this battle?" Luo Sinan said with a wry smile. "The people on the battlefield in the Central Plains, starting from Yue Fei, all hated the Jurchens so much that they gritted their teeth. They fought for war and killed the foreigners without blinking. You can imagine how many Jurchens they could seize? Will they keep the generals who seized the Jurchens and not kill them?"

"There will definitely be prisoners of war, but it's just a matter of how many." Dong Xiaohou heard that Luo Sinan was a little relieved and hurriedly shot while the iron was hot. "We will know the specific results of the Central Plains War in two days. If nothing unexpected happens, there will still be nearly 10,000 prisoners. With these prisoners of war in exchange and use them to express our sincerity in peace talks, I believe that the anxious Jurchens will definitely agree."
