Chapter 484: Analyze the situation and plan to go to Beijing
Wan Yanyong stared at Shen Tang for a long time, and then said calmly, "If other people from your Song Dynasty come, even Zhao Shen, I will drive him out directly.
However, since it is our General Jin who has spoken, I will give you a chance. If you can convince me, although this request is a bit rude, I may not be unable to agree to it.
After all, you are my son-in-law from the Kingdom of Jin, so I will give you some face."
Shen Tang quickly bowed deeply and saluted. Wan Yanyong was not exaggerating. Coming to borrow troops from another country, and it was an enemy country not long ago, this kind of thing is indeed unreliable.
Therefore, Wanyanyong did give him great face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Shen Tang thanked Wan Yanyong, sorted out his thoughts a little, and then spoke.
"First of all, it is true that the Tubo tribe is our enemy of the Song Dynasty, but it is also an enemy of the Jin Kingdom. As far as I know, Lintao Prefecture and other places are attacked and plundered by the Tubo tribe almost every year.
But now, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom have signed a contract, and they are allies. This is a positive and a negative, and the Jin Kingdom helps the Song Dynasty to attack Tubo, which is a mutual benefit."
"Secondly, as your Majesty said before, the Song Dynasty is not the main enemy of the Jin Kingdom now, and the Tubo clan is ambitious. It is okay to be on the plateau now, but if they occupy the Kingdom of Tianfu, it will be like adding more wings to a tiger. Not only It will become a trouble for the Song Dynasty and a more powerful enemy of the Jin Kingdom."
"The Jin State helped the Song Dynasty. Although the Song Dynasty did benefit, the Jin State also eliminated future troubles for itself!"
"Thirdly, the plateau land is not barren. On the contrary, there are many products needed by the Song and Jin Dynasties, especially iron ore and other products, which are urgently needed by the Song and Jin Dynasties.
If we can win this battle, it will be of great benefit to both the Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty."
"My Majesty the Song Dynasty has already planned the specific details. Your Majesty can take a look at them."
However, facing the imperial edict handed over by Shen Tang, Wan Yanyong waved his hand directly, "Shen Tang, I can't believe the so-called imperial edict, but I am willing to believe what you said to me.
However, although what you said above is reasonable, it still cannot move me."
"Now, let's take out the real benefits."
Wan Yanyong said calmly.
Shen Tang smiled bitterly in his heart, that's right, this Wan Yanyong is also a tycoon, how could he agree so easily with empty words.
"Your Majesty, if we can win this time, then they will naturally pay the price for their overwhelming force. At that time, I will personally lead the troops to march westward. Although it is not easy to attack the plateau areas, it is also easy to capture some border areas.
Just like Luqu and Ruoergai, as long as the Jin Kingdom occupies these two places, it will directly curb the Zhu Tubo clan, not only making them unable to attack the Jin Kingdom, but also putting them under the iron heel of the Jin Kingdom."
"If the rebellion in Chengdu Mansion is quelled, I will march westward with troops and capture these two places and present them to His Majesty."
"Haha..." Wan Yanyong chuckled softly, "Shen Tang, you are very familiar with this method of being generous to others."
"Tell me your true conditions. If you continue to delay like this, I won't have time to listen to your nonsense."
Shen Tang smiled awkwardly, and then said seriously, "If your Majesty agrees, I can provide you with suggestions to help your Majesty pacify Shangjing and capture Gao Cunfu."
"real?"
The indifferent look on Wan Yanyong's face was wiped away, and his eyes were fixed on Shen Tang.
Now, the place to go to Beijing is a serious concern for him. If the stalemate continues, it will not only waste the army's food and fodder, but also affect his prestige.
"Shen Tang, do you know the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Wan Yanyong said in a concentrated voice.
Shen Tang stood up and bowed to the end, "Your Majesty, I can inform your Majesty of the strategy first. If your Majesty thinks it is feasible, then you can lend me troops. If it is not feasible, I have no shame in mentioning the matter of borrowing troops."
"good!"
Wan Yanyong clapped his hands fiercely and said, "I promise you that if your strategy is really effective, I will lend you troops to help you quell the Tubo rebellion in Chengdu."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"No need to thank me. If you can help me solve this problem, then this is what you deserve."
Shen Tang nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, the biggest problem in going to Beijing now is that Gao Cunfu relies on the thick walls of the capital city and carries hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. If he wants to defeat the thieves, there are only two ways to go. One of them is ours. The army can successfully attack, and secondly, Gao Cunfu can leave Shangjing and fight us head-on."
"Although Gao Cunfu is not weak in strength, after leaving Shangjing, he is just a turtle without a protective shell. It is easy to kill him."
Wan Yanyong nodded and responded, "Yes, but now that the four gates of the upper capital are closed, there is no other way for us to break in except to attack by force.
But if we attack by force, we will have no advantage at all, and we will lose our troops and generals."
"In addition, there is a lot of grain and grass stored in Shangjing. According to speculation, even if it is blocked for half a year, the grain and grass in it may not be completely consumed."
"Therefore, we are almost unable to achieve the two points you mentioned."
Wanyanyong sighed and said.
Shen Tang smiled slightly. He had been thinking about the situation in Beijing for a long time and had already made a plan in his mind.
And this is also his greatest confidence in coming to the Kingdom of Jin this time.
"Your Majesty, it is indeed not easy for us to get in, but it may not be impossible to force Gao Cunfu out."
Shen Tang's words made Wan Yanyong look happy. If someone else said it, he might not believe it, but who is Shen Tang?
He is an extraordinary figure who single-handedly changed the battlefield in Xijing. He and others cannot do anything about it, and Shen Tang may not be able to do anything about it.
"Although there is plenty of food and grass in the upper capital, it is not impossible to consume it all.
What Gao Cunfu relies on is just whether there can be changes during this period of time. If he knows that Shangjing is already a dead place, and we secretly use some methods, I am afraid that he will never wait for death in Shangjing, but Will choose to fight for his life and fight to the death to break out.
What we have to do is to turn the variables in Gao Cunfu's heart into fixed numbers. This is enough.
When the time comes, Gao Cunfu will come out naturally without us forcing him."
Having said this, Shen Tang lowered his voice slightly and whispered beside Wan Yanyong.
After saying this, less than half an hour had passed, and the look on Wanyanyong's face had changed from confusion to shock to ecstasy now.
"Your Majesty, don't you know this plan is feasible?"
After speaking, Shen Tang asked softly.
"Okay...hahaha!"
Wanyanyong laughed loudly, "He is indeed a general who I personally conferred. If you have this plan, it won't be long before Gao Cunfu can only poke you in the neck! Shen Tang, I am true to my word, your request to borrow troops will I agreed."
