Chapter 472 The Opening of the Song-Jin Public Opinion War

Wanyan Wu asked, "Where is the weakest point?"

Wanyan Zonghan replied: "Taiyuan is a majestic city, not so easy to attack."

At that time, he used all his best talents and fought for nine months before defeating the enemy.

Wanyan Zonghan said again: "Attack Qingyuan Prefecture Zhaozhou."

Zong Wang said: "The main border defense forces of the Song Army on Hebei West Road are all located in Zhaozhou. If they cannot be captured as soon as possible, Yue Fei in the east can quickly attack Zhending and outflank our rear."

He emphasized again: "Yue Fei has a cavalry with quick reactions. Those horses once belonged to Zongfu. Don't forget how Yue Fei used his cavalry to destroy Liu Yu's army in a short time."

What he means is that the Song Army has also made new breakthroughs at the tactical level.

In the past, the focus was on defense, delaying time, attrition, and forcing the opponent to withdraw.

Moreover, due to the lack of field experience and high-mobility cavalry, when reinforcements were sent, they were easily surrounded by the Jin army for reinforcements.

But since the battle between Song and Qi, Yue Fei used the high mobility of his cavalry to quickly finish off Liu Yu, and part of Song's hidden strength has gradually come to light.

Wanyan Zonghan said: "I have been wanting to learn from Yue Fei. I heard that he has six thousand cavalry under his command, who come and go like lightning. If he is defeated, who else in the Song Dynasty can take the lead?"

Wanyan Zongpan took over the words: "How did you know that in the Song Dynasty, only Yue Fei had 6,000 cavalry? How did you know that Yue Fei had only 6,000 cavalry?"

The scene fell into dead silence again.

After a while, Zong Wang emphasized again: "The Song Dynasty has changed too fast in recent years. We can no longer judge the Song Dynasty based on the information in the fourth year of Tianhui (the first year of Jingkang)."

These rulers in the early years of the Jin Kingdom were not idiots.

On the contrary, they were able to emerge in large numbers, including Wanyan Zonghan, a commander who could fight all-out wars, Zong Wang, who was good at winning over the Han people, and Wanyan Wushu, who had extremely high military and political abilities.

Wanyan Wu, who was in power, was also a promising leader.

They will never be like some scholars with pens, who often have to use their brains before they can think of anything, and then retreat completely when encountering a slight setback.

In fact, in the seventh year of Xuanhe, before the Jin army went south to attack the Song Dynasty, the Jin State did not know the reality of the Song Dynasty. They only heard that the Song army pressed a little brat named Xixia on the ground and rubbed it back and forth in the northwest in those years, thinking that the Song Dynasty was a big country.

Song is very strong.

Therefore, the Jin Kingdom spent several years doing intelligence work and even sent envoys to the Song Dynasty to express goodwill.

Even so, it was also later that the Zhang Jue incident broke out, a series of scandalous operations within the Song army, Guo Yaoshi rebelled against the Song Dynasty and joined the Jin Dynasty, and the Jin Kingdom learned more about the reality of the Song Dynasty.

In this environment, the two armies dared to march forward.

But now, all the information about the Song Dynasty from the first year of Jingkang is obviously outdated.

The rulers of the Jin Kingdom were faced with fragmented intelligence, which failed to form a clear system and naturally could not provide a comprehensive reference for the Jin Kingdom.

Wanyan Zongpan added another sentence: "Don't forget, Taiyuan is such a majestic city, but it was taken back by the Song army two months ago. It took someone several months back then. You say that there is no one in the Song Dynasty? What do I think of the Song Dynasty?

The generals of the country are like stars in the clouds?"

Wanyan Zonghan's face became extremely ugly, and he said angrily: "You, a loser who sits in Beijing and only cares about eating, drinking and having fun all day long, what qualifications do you have to talk about the frontline war?"

"Don't forget, I am responsible for all the goods imported to the Song Dynasty. You are spending money, and I am making money!" Wanyan Zongpan said, "And why can the Song army take back Taiyuan this time?"

The scene fell into dead silence again.

Wanyan Zongpan continued: "I have said long ago that relying on brute force to levy and expropriate is unsustainable. Conquer the world immediately and rule the world immediately! The Liao Kingdom also promoted Chineseization at that time, so it was able to maintain long-term peace and stability. That Wanyan Yan you sent there

Mother, you gave Taiyuan to the Song Dynasty! Facts have proved that your idea is wrong!"

In the past, Zong Pan wouldn't dare to say anything in front of Zong Han, but it's different now.

Wanyan Zongpan had considerable supporters in the Jin Kingdom.

"Okay, stop arguing." Wanyan Wu said.

The scene became quiet again.

Wanyan Wu Qimai said: "Let's discuss now how to deal with the Song Dynasty next."

When he said this, he looked at Zong Wang.

Zong Wang said: "Three preparations: First, send envoys to question the Song Dynasty. We hold great righteousness, so that we can unite the Han bureaucrats in our court; second, Chen Bing's border, even if there is no large-scale war, we can test the Song Dynasty's bottom line; third,

Partially separated from the Song Dynasty."

Zong Han smiled and said: "It's currency again? How come I heard that the Song Dynasty implemented paper currency in Hebei and Hedong, and some people's currency policy has failed?"

Zong Wang said: "This time it's not currency."

Wanyan Wu Qimai asked curiously: "What is it?"

"It's division."

"Split?"

"That's right, to divide the Song State." Zong Wang spoke calmly, looking at everyone, and continued, "Why was the Song State able to compete with us in just a few years?"

"Because the Zhao Guan family reused a group of generals who knew how to fight."

"No, no, that's not the case." Zong Wang shook his head, "Because the internal differences in the Song State were suppressed by the Zhao Guan family with strong means, unprecedented unity appeared in the Song State. After the differences between the parties were eliminated, the Song State

The system can quickly mobilize the forces of all parties. The Zhao Guan family’s New Agricultural Policy and New Deal for Banknotes are all doing one thing, which is to purge opponents and leave behind those who support him.”

These words can be said to be very sensitive, because the Jin Kingdom is also facing a torn power struggle within the country, as if to remind Wanyan Wu that he should do the same when begging for money.

"Every time a new policy was introduced, the opposition would be purged, and their money would be confiscated into the state treasury. There was also the New Agricultural Policy, which targeted large households and bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty, which not only alleviated the pressure on the people, but also eliminated them.

Those disobedient bureaucrats also increased the revenue of the state treasury."

Wanyan Wu Qingbuy couldn't help but be shocked. He asked: "How should you implement the internal division of the Song Dynasty that you mentioned?"

"There is an extremely special group within the Song Dynasty."

"What group?"

"student."

"Scholar?" Everyone was confused.

Zong Wang said: "A considerable number of people in this group have a characteristic that can be used by us."

"What characteristics?"

"His ambitions are low but his ambitions are low. He is unrealistic. He has no real talent, but he has great ambitions and little talent. He especially likes to express his own opinions and force them to accept them."

Now everyone is even more confused, what is this?

Taking advantage of those powerless scholars?

"They killed everything in front of the butcher's knife!" Zong Han said dismissively.

Zong Wang said: "But they can create disputes within the Song Dynasty and tear apart the reunited Song Dynasty."

Wanyan Wu Qimai now became interested: "Zong Wang, please explain it in detail."

"Currently, the Zhao Guan family has set up a long military town in the north to fight against us. However, these military towns consume a huge amount of money every year, tens of millions of dollars. And the salary of the Song Dynasty's domestic bureaucracy is extremely high. The Zhao Guan family took some money through the purge.

Money, but the money will eventually be used up.”

Everyone was silent and listened to Zong Wang's words.

"The people's power in the north of the Song Dynasty was depleted due to the war. After the Seven-Road New Deal in the north, Zhao Guan's family could not collect much money from the north. In order to continue to maintain the military town, his goal must be the south."

"We can send people to spread rumors in Tokyo City, saying that the Song Dynasty will increase taxes on the southern roads to use for the northern war. At the same time, we send envoys to the Song Dynasty to continue the peace talks. While secretly raising troops, we also express peace talks and trade, and tell the Song Dynasty

We don’t want to fight.”

Wanyan Wu Qimai frowned: "How can this divide the Song Dynasty?"

"Among the scholar group, some people have a characteristic, and it is very obvious."

"What characteristics?"
