Shen Tang, Liu Xiangling, the iron-blooded traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty Chapter 1225: Want to fight with the Jin Kingdom, spray the emperor face to face

Chapter 1225: Wanting to fight with the Kingdom of Jin, insult the emperor in front of him
In fact, according to Zhao Shen's thinking, now is not the time to start a war with neighboring countries. Although the situation in the Song Dynasty is gradually stabilizing, it is really a bit powerless.
In the past few years, first the Northern Expedition, which mobilized the whole country, then the battle with Tubo in Chengdu, and the battle with Dali, that is, the battle in southern Xinjiang was almost all coordinated by Shen Tang. There were few, and most of the food, grass and military pay were raised locally in Chengdu Prefecture. Otherwise, the imperial court at that time would not be able to support it.
Now that the situation has finally calmed down, if a war breaks out, it will simply make things worse. Ma Shao will probably be the first to come to him and cry.
Despite this thought, Zhao Shen did not rush to speak, but continued to listen to Yu Yunwen's explanation.
Just listen to Yu Yunwen continue to say, "As long as we win in one battle, the subsequent rectification of the troops of all parties will also eliminate many hidden dangers and troubles."
"So, how will this battle go between the two of you, and who will be your opponent?"
Zhao Shen asked in a deep voice.
"Of course it's Jin Guo!"
Yu Yunwen gave Zhao Shen a somewhat different look, as if he was wondering why Zhao Shen asked this question, "The Kingdom of Jin invaded nearly half of our Song Dynasty territory. Restoring our homeland is the long-cherished wish of our Song Dynasty subjects. Now the other borders are safe, and we are no longer with the Jin Dynasty." How long will it take for people to fight?"
Hearing this, Zhao Shen couldn't help but frown a little tighter, "A few years ago, after the Northern Expedition, our Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom had signed letters of credence. Now there is no conflict between the two countries. If we provoke a war, what will happen? Aren't you going back on your word and having no credibility?
Moreover, the Jin Kingdom is probably stronger than our Song Dynasty. If we start a war with the Jin Kingdom, how can our Song Dynasty have any chance of victory?"
"Your Majesty is wrong!"
Yu Yunwen said, "The so-called credential is just a piece of paper. If the credential is useful, how could the Liao Kingdom or the Jin Kingdom occupy the land of the Song Dynasty?
As for victory or defeat, there is no need for your Majesty to worry! Of course I know how powerful the Jin Kingdom is, but we do not want to go into full-scale war with them!"
"I was ordered to pacify the Sichuan and Shaanxi areas. Now General Wu Lin has a strong army. The two groups in Lizhou have been working hard, waiting for another war with the Jin Kingdom.
The person stationed in this area from the Jin Kingdom is Tu Dankening, the marshal of the Jin Kingdom’s West Road!"
"It is true that this man is a fierce general of the Jin Kingdom. However, the troops and horses in the Jin Kingdom have been mobilized in the past two years. The remaining troops of the entire West Route Army are extremely rare. Not long ago, our scouts came to report that the enemy was approaching. There are less than 50,000 soldiers and horses stationed on Zhao Road and Fengxiang Road! Moreover, our defense is also extremely lax!"
Yu Yunwen said it was easy, but in fact, Tu Shan Kening was not a simple person. He had such a high reputation in the Jin army, and he was only one or two behind He Shi Lie Zhining!
Moreover, his status in the Jin Dynasty court is not low! His uncle's name is Wanyan Xiyin, who was the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty at the time of Wanyan Liang. It was this man who created the Jurchen writing and had an extraordinary status in the Jin Dynasty.
In addition, Tu Shankening married the daughter of Wanyan Zongqian, the daughter of Jiaxiang County, and Wanyan Zongqian was the eldest son of Wanyan Aguda.
Whether within the court or within the clan, his status is no small matter!
Moreover, this man was extremely good at fighting. When Wan Yanliang attacked the Song Dynasty, he commanded an army as a marshal. But now that Yu Yunwen has set his target on him, it can be said that he is not bold.
"If we carry out a surprise attack with soldiers and horses from Lizhou, I am sure that we can advance to these two routes in one fell swoop. With these two routes, we can join forces with the Xia Kingdom!"
"Daxia has long been eyeing the border of the Kingdom of Jin, and has deployed heavy troops in Xining Prefecture. As long as we unite with Daxia, we can stabilize our pace and use these two states as a springboard to continue attacking the land of the Kingdom of Jin.
To the east, we can team up with the troops from Xiangyang Prefecture to besiege the important towns around Jingzhao Prefecture, and to the north, we can join forces with Daxia to threaten the Yanqing Prefecture. The Jin Kingdom is currently stationing troops in the north, and will only be able to sue for peace with us when the time comes. Whether we continue the war or sit down for peace talks will be of great benefit to us, the Song Dynasty."
It has to be said that Yu Yunwen is indeed very courageous. Almost all the other courtiers of the Song Dynasty shunned the Jin Kingdom, but he has been thinking about how to conquer the Jin Kingdom. Regardless of whether it can be realized, at least this idea is It's shocking enough.
Even Zhao Shen was stunned now! He really didn't expect that the guy in front of him had played such a big game of chess without knowing it.
"Your Majesty, as long as we can win this battle against the Jin Kingdom, not only will the court be inspired, the people will be inspired, and the military will also be full of fighting spirit.
When that time comes, I will naturally take this opportunity to eradicate the corruption among the generals in one fell swoop!"
"Although we, the Song Dynasty, only have half of the country left, we still have many soldiers and generals! The Jin Kingdom is just a barbarian, how can it be our opponent, the Song Dynasty?"
Zhao Shen hesitated for a moment, and then said, "This matter is of great importance, so let's think about it before making any plans!"
"His Majesty!"
Hearing that Zhao Shen was about to retreat, Yu Yunwen immediately stood up and said, "If this matter is decided, we should start making arrangements now. How can the military affairs be delayed?"
"During the Jingkang Incident, the Song Dynasty not only lost the emperor, but also lost the capital, and even lost half of the country. This was not only a shame for Your Majesty, but also a shame for all the subjects of the Song Dynasty! Now, there is a chance to defeat the Kingdom of Jin, Your Majesty If we don’t fight yet, when will we wait?”
"In a hurry, the Supreme Emperor fled to Lin'an and built the Song Dynasty court here. However, has His Majesty forgotten what the name Lin'an is?
No matter how good Lin'an is, it is not Bianzhou after all. Doesn't His Majesty want to honor our ancestors, take back our hometown of the Song Dynasty, and become an emperor for the ages?
Or maybe His Majesty is already afraid!"
"Your Majesty has become accustomed to the prosperity of Lin'an. He is afraid of the Jin Kingdom's military front and the fierceness of the Jin Kingdom. He simply doesn't have the guts and courage to go to war with the Jin Kingdom?"
"If this is the case, then this minister of the Song Dynasty should be regarded as an improper minister!"
I have to say that the civil servants of the Song Dynasty were really powerful, and it was not a big deal to criticize the emperor in person.
Just like Yu Yunwen at this moment, although he likes military affairs, he is also a civil servant, and he is not polite at all when he criticizes his own emperor! Moreover, he stood up directly and grabbed Zhao Shen's sleeve, A hurried old face almost struck Zhao Shen's face.
If it were in other dynasties, it would not be an exaggeration to directly attack the emperor, but in the Song Dynasty, civil servants did have such special treatment!
Zhao Shen was also said to be anxious, not only because of Yu Yunwen's attitude, but also because of the sarcasm in his words!
"You are so presumptuous, who said I am afraid? Isn't it the Kingdom of Jin?
Let's fight, how can I still be afraid of the Jin Kingdom?"
