Chapter 1115: The Golden Emperor speculates, in one sentence
Chapter 1115: The Golden Emperor’s speculation hits the nail on the head
"Your Majesty! We got the latest news yesterday. The two countries have ceased war! Dali is planning to withdraw its troops! Moreover, the Song Dynasty has sent a mission to Dali for peace talks!"
"Peace talks?"
Wanyan Yong was extremely stunned, "Besides, it was Dali who proposed it on his own initiative?"
"Have you found out the reason?"
All the ministers in the main hall were silent. It was obvious that they did not know what was happening in Dali Kingdom!
Wan Yanyong thought for a moment and suddenly asked again, "Is there any recent report about Chengdu Mansion?
What is Shen Tang doing?"
His words made everyone present stunned. Didn't they talk about the war between the two countries again?
Why did you run into Shen Tang again?
However, Shen Tang and Chengdu Mansion are also one of the most concerned objects of the Jin Kingdom, so there is also a lot of news about Chengdu Mansion.
"Your Majesty, news came about a month ago that Shen Tang was inspecting the southern part of Chengdu Prefecture! However, the process was extremely secretive, and no specific traces of Shen Tang or what happened were found! According to time estimates, Shen Tang disappeared for a full year About a month.
Moreover, the envoy sent by the Song Dynasty this time is Shen Tang as the envoy!"
Wan Yanyong pondered for a long time and suddenly sighed, "That's it!"
Seeing the emperor's sudden realization, all the ministers were stunned! What does it mean that this is so?
Doesn't this make us look stupid?
"Come here and get the geological survey map of Chengdu Fu Road and its surroundings!"
One of the chamberlains left in response, and not long after, several chamberlains returned to the main hall carrying a huge scroll that was about ten feet long! The scroll was slowly opened, and on it was the geological survey map of the boundary of Chengdu Fulu. .
However, compared with the geological survey map in Shen Tang's hand, it only marked the approximate location of the state capital and some important pass points, but did not provide detailed information on the mountains and rivers.
This is not surprising. From ancient times to the present, detailed geological survey maps have always been the most important military secret! For example, during the Qin Dynasty, the assassin Jing Ke was able to be appreciated by the King of Qin by relying on the geological survey map of Yan State. This is evident!
"Look at this area!"
Wanyanyong walked to the geological survey map and pointed to the vast land south of Chengdu Fuxing Road!
"Your Majesty, this area is called the Southern Border Barbarians in the Song Dynasty! There are many local tribes here. Although it is the territory of the Song Dynasty in name, it is not actually under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty! Even between this generation and the Song Dynasty There are many contradictions and some frictions will occur from time to time.
And the Song Dynasty also deployed heavy troops in this fringe area to contain this generation of tribal forces!"
"Why do you think Dali suddenly wants to withdraw its troops?"
Wanyanyong suddenly asked.
After the ministers were silent for a moment, someone said, "Your Majesty, although the Song Dynasty is no match for the Jin Kingdom, it cannot be defeated by just the Dali Kingdom! The reason why the Dali Kingdom's previous invasion was extremely smooth was simply because of the Dali Kingdom. The Song Dynasty did not send any elite troops! But once the Song Dynasty made up its mind, it would not be difficult to defeat Dali!"
Wan Yanyong shook his head helplessly, feeling extremely disappointed with the thinking of these courtiers! Perhaps because of the power of the Jin Kingdom, they have lost too much ability to think. If this continues...
"Your Majesty, I think there is another reason!"
A burly general raised his hand and said.
"He Shi Lie Zhining?"
Wan Yanyong raised his eyebrows, yes, this general is none other than Zhang Jun's old friend, He Shiliezhining, the famous general of the Jin Kingdom!
"First, if the Song Dynasty sent a large army, Dali's troops would indeed be blocked. However, if this is the case, Dali will never retreat easily, but will continue to increase its troops.
Secondly, the Song Dynasty first fought a war with Tubo, and then there were five natural disasters in the northwest. According to my estimation, even if the Song Dynasty wanted to send troops, I am afraid there would not be enough food and grass!"
Wanyanyong nodded approvingly. As the top commander of the Jin Kingdom, Heshi Liezhining's vision is indeed much better than others!
"Then why do you think Dali retreated?"
Heshi Liezhining looked at the geological survey map and said, "I was extremely confused before, but after your Majesty's suggestions, I have an idea!"
"This southern borderland is located between Dali and the Song Dynasty. It can be regarded as an isolation and buffer between the two countries! However, if the power of this generation is conquered by one side, then the hinterland of the other side will be fatally threatened.
Especially for Dali, the power of this generation can completely threaten the entire northern region!"
"What does the general mean, that the tribal power in this area was recovered by the Song Dynasty?"
Someone said, "This is simply impossible. The barbarians in southern Xinjiang are powerful. If the Song Dynasty could conquer them, it would not have been delayed until now.
These barbarians have existed since the time of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and until today, the Song Dynasty does not have such power!"
Heshi Liezhining ignored this colleague, but looked at Wan Yanyong and said, "Your Majesty, maybe it was not possible before.
However, we must not forget that Shen Tang is now in charge of Chengdu Prefecture, and this area is right next to Shen Tang's bed! Others can't do it, but if Shen Tang wants to conquer the tribes in this area, I believe he can do it.
"
As soon as this statement came out, the people who refuted were speechless! They all knew how powerful Shen Tang was! The most important thing is that every time Shen Tang leads troops, he can get extremely shocking results! The battle of Sizhou is so
, the Battle of Xijing is like this, and the Battle of Chengdu is also like this! For such a legendary figure, no matter what he does, it is reasonable!
"According to my guess, Shen Tang regained the southern tribes in this area and used the power of this area to threaten the hinterland of Dali, forcing Dali to withdraw its troops and stop fighting!"
Wan Yanyong nodded, "Yes, I guess the same! Find out what happened in the southern Xinjiang area as soon as possible. I want to know how much power Shen Tang has regained for his use!"
Returning to the dragon chair, Wan Yanyong looked solemn. After a long while, he finally said, "I have inherited the aspirations of my ancestors, and now my Kingdom of Jin is also strong and prosperous. It's a pity that Shen Tang is not my minister! The Song Dynasty of the Southern Kingdom is indeed
Good luck, if it weren't for Shen Tang, no one would be our opponent in the Kingdom of Jin. Once we eliminate the surrounding threats, we can send troops south at any time!"
"Why……"
Wanyanyong admires Shen Tang very much, otherwise he would not really let Wanyan Yue marry Shen Tang! If Shen Tang can be attracted to the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyanyong has enough confidence that he can make the Kingdom of Jin become a
More powerful!
It sounds like a joke to say that one person can change a country, but the world has never lacked such admirable geniuses!
The Qin Dynasty had Bai Qi, the God of War, the Han Dynasty had the champion Hou Huo Qubing, the Tang Dynasty had the pharmacist Li Jing, and now the Song Dynasty also has a formidable Shen Tang!
