Summer is already halfway over, and the weather in June is very bad, with heavy rains coming one after another. The water in the Yellow River is beginning to become a little unstable. The flood season is coming, and there is a danger of the river banks collapsing at any time. Floods are doomed to death, and
It is easy for the plague to break out during this season. Because of several consecutive heavy rains and the rolling water of the Yangtze River, the people on both sides of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River are panicking.
Within the court, there were two factions. One faction advocated attacking the Song Dynasty unprepared and taking advantage of the fact that the Song Dynasty had just issued a letter to attack the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty had not yet gathered its troops to resist. They would definitely win a complete victory.
However, the other faction is the one headed by Prince Zhenjin. Prince Zhenjin strongly opposes the use of troops against the Song Dynasty at this time. He advocates that we should wait and see what happens and wait for the flood period to pass. If a flood suddenly occurs during the war, it will be fatal.
