Wanyan Wu’s questions about begging for money were not answered for a while.

"Hulub is extremely powerful, what do you think?"

Wanyan Zongqian came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think we can withdraw to Loushi. There is no need to withdraw troops from the eastern and central fronts."

"Why?"

"The central and western lines are the land of Song Dynasty's wealth. Shaanxi can leave it alone first and capture the land of Song's wealth. Shaanxi will be defeated by the Song Dynasty without a fight."

Wanyan Wu didn't say much when he was begging for money, and continued to ask Wanyan Zongwang: "Zongwang, what about you?"

Wanyan Zongwang came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the biggest problem now is not conquering the Song Dynasty."

"Oh, how do you say this?"

Wanyan Zongwang said: "The biggest problem of our dynasty is not in the Song Dynasty."

"Please tell me in detail."

"Yes." Wanyan Zongwang coughed twice. This man was not in good health. He originally went south and made great achievements last year. However, due to health reasons, he did not participate in the third Song-Jin War this year.

Originally the deputy marshal on the Eastern Front was Wanyan Zongwang, but was replaced by Wanyan Zongfu.

"Your Majesty, there are two main problems in our dynasty at present: one is the integration of various internal forces. Thirteen years ago, when Taizu founded the country, our dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty and punished the Song Dynasty. The territory expanded rapidly, but the local foundation was not stable, and the imperial court's finances

The tax revenue and expenditure are extremely unreasonable, and various ministries are suffering from internal friction."

"The second is the Mongol tribe in the western grassland. They are disobedient to the imperial court. If they are not stopped, they will be in great trouble in the future."

The Mongol tribe he mentioned was the predecessor of Mongolia, and its original name was Shiwei.

The Mongol tribe originally belonged to the Liao Kingdom.

During the heyday of the Liao Kingdom, its territory started from the Sea of ​​Japan in the east, the Altai Mountains in the west, the Ergun River in the north, and the Xing'an Mountains.

The Liao Kingdom was also Central Asia, China in the eyes of Eastern Europeans.

In the 21st century, Khitan in Russian means China.

The rulers of the Liao Kingdom also regarded themselves as Chinese orthodox, calling the Song Dynasty the Southern Dynasty and the people of the Song Dynasty as southerners.

After the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty, it focused its main energy on destroying the Song Dynasty, so that the Mongols took the opportunity to become independent.

Wanyan Zongwang is talking about the various tribes in the Mongolian Plateau.

He continued: "According to the news from last month, Hebule, the chief of the Borjijin tribe, was elected as the leader of the Mongol tribe three months ago. The Mongol people are good at fighting. If they are united by them, they will definitely attack us.

pose a threat to North Korea.”

"Moreover, I heard that Yelu Dashi, an old minister of the Liao Kingdom, is in the Mongolian tribe, trying to incite the Mongolians to rebel against our government."

Wanyan Wu Qingmai also fell into deep thought.

The Jin Kingdom was indeed very powerful. Only thirteen years after its founding, it destroyed the Liao Kingdom, defeated the Song Dynasty, and left Xixia trembling on the side.

But in fact, Wanyan Wu had always been anxious when begging for money because the Kingdom of Jin had made too many enemies.

The Song Dynasty was a piece of fat, so it was right to defeat the Song Dynasty.

Even the factions represented by Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zonghan began to determinedly destroy the Song Dynasty.

But there has been a debate in the court about whether the Song Dynasty can be destroyed?

If the Song Dynasty could not be destroyed and excess combat power was consumed, would Yelu Dashi gather the Mongols for a counterattack?

Even without counterattack, the Mongols became independent and the Jin Kingdom lost most of the Mongolian Plateau, which was equivalent to losing many excellent horse farms.

You should know that at its peak, the Liao Kingdom had 700,000 horses, most of which were contributed by the Mongol tribes.

The Kingdom of Jin now has hundreds of thousands of horses, but its horse administration is in a mess.

The Jurchens are not a nomadic people, they are a fishing and hunting people plus farming people, and they are not good at raising horses.

And fighting the Song Dynasty required continuous investment of troops, and cavalry was one of them.

In the Jin Kingdom, which lost its horse breeding farm, its war horses were almost extinct in the middle and late period. The kidnapper horse that once swept the world quietly exited the stage of history, and only then was it pressed to the ground and rubbed by Genghis Khan.

These are all problems, and they were problems in the early days of the Jin Kingdom, although they were not urgent problems yet.

"What good plan does Zong Wang have?"

"What I mean is to temporarily suspend the war with the Song Dynasty, so that the Song Dynasty can serve our country like it served the Liao Dynasty, every year."

"Our court can gain a short period of time to recuperate, concentrate its forces to attack the Mengwu, recapture the horse farm, integrate the internal affairs, and then plan to attack the Song Dynasty."

Finally, he summed up the sentence: "There is no need to rush to defeat the Song Dynasty."

Wanyan Wu Qimai said: "But now, our government clearly has the advantage, why do we need to suspend our troops?"

"The advantage is only temporary, the situation is changing." Wanyan Zongwang said calmly, "Last year when Bianjing was besieged, the Song Emperor held on to the city and was ready to fight with all his strength."

"The Song people were unfamiliar with our tactics before, so they had no time to take care of them. But now, the Song army is slowly changing. This is the case in the battle of Shaanxi."

He talked about Wanyan Wu's heart when he was begging for money.

The soldiers of the Jin Army may have an absolute psychological advantage over the Song Army because of their repeated victories.

But some people in the Jin Dynasty did not think so. These people looked at the overall situation. When countries fought against each other, they actually fought for comprehensive national strength, rather than one or two military victories.

The Mongol people in the west are very fierce in fighting. If they are allowed to become bigger, they will become a big trouble in the future.

They don't know that their worries have actually happened in official history.

According to official history, the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty pulled each other across, which gave the Jin Kingdom hope of destroying the Song Dynasty, so they continued to increase their military strength.

It was not until Yue Fei and other famous generals reversed the situation and was finally forced to negotiate peace that the Jin Kingdom began to face up to the forces in the west, and even Wu Shu personally conquered the Mongol people.

But Wu Shu has been practiced for two years without any results.

At that time, the famous generals from the founding period of the Jin Kingdom had withered away one after another and had begun to decline.

In fact, Wanyan Zongwang has always been keeping an eye on these issues, but in official history he died early and Wanyan Zonghan's family became the dominant one, so the Jin Dynasty's court headed all the way towards the Great Song Dynasty.

Wanyan Zongpan also took the opportunity to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, I also thought that we should stop fighting with the Song Dynasty. We have been fighting for more than two years and have spent a huge amount of money. If we continue to fight, we will not gain much. We should rectify the internal situation first."

Wanyan Wu said no more words when he was begging for money, nor did he express his position.

But in his heart he must have wanted to straighten things out internally. The current system of the Jin Kingdom was not friendly to him as the emperor. The crown prince knew that Banbo Jilie had too much power, and people like Wanyan Zonghan were all out of control.

He has his needs.

However, it may be difficult to withdraw troops and have a truce with Song Dynasty now, because the main war faction is extremely powerful, and the gains from going south this time will be quite rich.

After all, it was the richest place in the Song Dynasty.

A truce cannot be achieved by just one word from Wanyan Wu.

The eighth day of February, Tokyo City, Wende Hall.

The spies sent out finally got a reply. Zong Han broke through Xiangyang at the end of the first year, but did not go south again, but went north, and is now rushing to Luoyang.

Zhao Ning did not hesitate at all. He immediately made preparations and sent an edict to Zhang Shuye in Huazhou, asking Zhang Shuye to quickly mobilize the garrison in Huazhou to go south and quickly reach Luoyang.

At the same time, he mobilized almost all the Imperial Guards in the capital, a total of 50,000 troops, and immediately marched into Luoyang.

He also sent an order to Zong Ying of Longde Mansion, asking him to be prepared for a head-on battle with the Jin army.

Zong Han must not be allowed to return to Taiyuan safely via the original route.

The Jin army withdrew its troops to support Shaanxi. If all the troops were really gone, Shaanxi would not be able to sustain it even with an additional 200,000 troops.

Once Shaanxi is lost, Xixia will inevitably rebel. Zhao Ning has only one way, which is to run to Hangzhou.

We have finally achieved this situation, and we must take another step forward.
