"I'm also thinking about this issue. The Jin army's move south was too sudden and the time was too hasty. At present, the scouts are unable to ascertain the true intentions of the Jin people."

Han Shizhong wiped the knife in his hand, frowned and said: "That's not all the doubts in my heart. News of the Jin people going south also came from Hebei West Road. How big is the scale of the Jin army going south this time? How many troops did the Jin country dispatch?

I still don’t know about the soldiers and horses.”

"If we go deep into the hinterland of the Song Dynasty, the Jin people have already done this at the end of last year, but they did not get any benefits. Will they do it again this year?"

Liang Hongyu insisted: "The Nu family believes that the Jin people came by chance this time, and there is a high possibility that they will go deep into the hinterland."

Han Shizhong shook his head and did not agree with his wife's idea. He said: "The intelligence from the past few months has confirmed that the last time Hejian Prefecture went south, most of the Jin army was killed or injured. The Jin army was severely hit. It is difficult to think in such a short time.

To make a comeback again, repeat the old tricks, and venture deep into the hinterland of our Song Dynasty, the commander of the Jin Army will not be so stupid."

"But I think the Jin army has a reason to go south."

Han Shizhong glanced at Liang Hongyu, he respected his wife very much.

Although Liang Hongyu was born in a brothel, this woman was extremely smart and acted decisively.

Let's just say that in history, during the Liu Miao Incident, Liang Hongyu traveled hundreds of miles overnight to summon Han Shizhong to put down the rebellion. This was not something ordinary people could do.

Let's talk about the battle of Huang Tiandang. Han Shizhong first defeated the Jin army one after another, and then was defeated miserably in Huang Tiandang because he underestimated the enemy. However, in fact, the strategic purpose of the Huang Tiandang battle was achieved, which contained Wu Shu and made Jin Wu Shu go north and not dare to go south.

During the Battle of Huang Tiandang, most women would think that their men had made great contributions and would argue vigorously.

But Liang Hongyu was different. As the protector of the country, she wrote a memorial to impeach Han Shizhong, underestimated the enemy's defeat, and asked the court to severely punish Han Shizhong. The whole country was shocked for a while, and everyone praised him.

This is the political wisdom of retreating in order to advance.

So what kind of woman is this?

A woman who is extremely knowledgeable about politics and human affairs, which may be related to her background in the first half of her life.

After all, if a brothel woman wants to survive, she must learn to think about the world and the rules of human nature.

Han Shizhong said: "Why would a dear man say this?"

"Officials also said that at the beginning of this year, the Jin army suffered heavy losses."

"That's right, the imperial court sent a report to the world. Yue Fei defeated the main force of the Jin Army in Jinan Prefecture. Later, part of the main force of the Jin Army retreated to Wuqiao County. I encountered him and killed more than 10,000 enemies. I personally verified it and couldn't do it.

Fake."

"What will be the trend of the Jin soldiers in Hejian Prefecture from now on?"

"We have been standing still."

"If the official is given four months, how many more troops can he send after a big defeat?"

Han Shizhong replied: "It will be impossible to send out more troops in four months. The morale of the military is damaged. Even if there are troops, it is impossible to send out rashly."

Liang Hongyu added: "Moreover, it is only August now and winter has not yet entered. In previous years, the Jin Army would send troops southward after winter. We launched the military campaign when our army was at its weakest. But this time, there must be other reasons for sending troops hastily."

.”

"Oh?" Han Shizhong really didn't think about this aspect, "What's the reason?"

"The slave family actually believes that the gold thieves' hasty dispatch of troops this time is related to the Gyeonggi New Deal."

Han Shizhong was even more puzzled. Cangzhou was nearly a thousand miles away from Gyeonggi, and Fucheng was hundreds of miles away from Gyeonggi. How could the war in Fucheng be related to the Gyeonggi Road New Deal?

"Why would a dear man say this?"

Liang Hongyu continued: "The Nu family has also heard that the officials killed many people during the new policy in Gyeonggi Province. It can be seen that the opposition in the court was huge."

"What does that have to do with the current war?"

“Do officials know what the New Deal has announced?”

"What?"

"It's related to Tian." Liang Hongyu explained the contents of the new policy.

"My dear man actually paid attention to the Gyeonggi New Deal."

"Everything the slave family does is for the officials."

Liang Hongyu naturally paid attention to it. Not only did she pay attention, but she also sent people to the capital to send gifts and inquire about news.

Mainly to inquire about some news from the Military and Political Council, as well as the recent developments in North Korea and China.

After all, his man is now a general on the Eastern Front and has been personally received by Zhao Guan's family, so he has a bright future.

Han Shizhong didn't have the time to take care of these things, but Liang Hongyu was different. She handled them in a thorough and orderly manner and kept the rear in good order.

If something happens in the capital, she will know after a while.

"Then what does the Jin troops' dispatch have to do with the New Deal?"

"Taking advantage of the chaos in the imperial court, we sent troops south. If it had been a few months later, the New Deal in Gyeonggi Province might have been settled."

Han Shizhong said: "A Gyeonggi New Deal, how chaotic it can be, has been filtered out by good people."

"The Gyeonggi New Deal is not an ordinary New Deal. The slave family saw it, and it involves good land and food price negotiations. Today is the Holy Lord, and he wants to revive the country. The gold thieves want to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly invade the Song Dynasty."

"Even so, if the gold thieves attack us now, will they disrupt the government?"

Liang Hongyu said: "What if the golden thieves attack the lifeblood of the Song Dynasty?"

"where?"

"The two Huaihe Rivers are an important source of food for the capital." Liang Hongyu said, "Once the two Huaihe Rivers are attacked, the whole country will be shocked, and it may cause an economic food shortage. The New Deal affects the interests of local households and official households. Either the New Deal is not implemented, or it is inevitable.

When people are in panic, the golden thief is attacking the economy. When people are in panic, this is adding insult to injury."

"The New Deal can be stopped at any time!" Han Shizhong said.

"But the new policies of the imperial court have offended many people, and internal conflicts have formed."

"Are you saying that the internal conflicts caused by the Gyeonggi New Deal have weakened Gyeonggi's defense?"

"It weakened the grain supply of Gyeonggi. Gyeonggi's grain mainly comes from the southeast, as well as the Gyeonggi Road itself. The internal conflicts caused by the new policies of the imperial court made some households in a situation willing to defect to the Jin Army when the Jin Army arrived and use the food they had originally hidden.

Also sold to Jin Jun."

Liang Hongyu added another sentence: "Don't forget, many officials and local wealthy people in Hebei have surrendered to the Jin Kingdom!"

Han Shizhong took a deep breath. He felt that Liang Hongyu's speculation was incredible.

Han Shizhong was a good fighter when it came to fighting, but not so much when it came to politics.

In history, Han Shizhong finally died a good death, which actually had a lot to do with him having a good wife.

"Then the Jin army will attack Lianghuai next?" Han Shizhong looked at Liang Hongyu sharply, "Really?"

"You can send scouts to investigate."

Han Shizhong hesitated for a moment, and immediately sent all his scouts south to investigate the situation on a large scale. Once the Jin army's whereabouts were discovered, they would immediately report it.

Three days later, on September 2, the scouts who came back shocked Han Shizhong with their report.

The whereabouts of a large-scale gold army were really discovered in Texas!

As expected, the Jin army once again penetrated deep into the territory of the Song Dynasty!

Han Shizhong immediately led an elite force, left the city overnight and headed south, advancing rapidly toward Dezhou.

If we were really defeated by the Jin army, the consequences would be disastrous.

Listening to Liang Hongyu's analysis, the Gyeonggi New Deal is not a simple New Deal, it involves the interests of too many people. If the Jin Army is causing trouble at this time, no one dares to imagine what the situation will become.

Han Shizhong did not hesitate and marched quickly to pursue the Jin army.

At this time, Li Cheng acted as the leader in Jin Wushu's army.

He said: "So far, the Song army has not noticed us. Even if the people along the way inform the Song generals, it will take time. After three days, they will arrive in Dongping. Your Highness can repair and replenish them in Dongping, and then direct the troops all the way."

Xuzhou!”

Jin Wushu laughed and said: "Once Xuzhou is defeated, both Huaihe River and Huaihe River will be in the palm of my hand!"
Chapter completed!
