Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

The strategy of destroying Liao was dedicated to A Guda by Zong Han, and he made great achievements in destroying Liao.

Later, there were two expeditions to the Song Dynasty, and each time they returned with a full load. The military towns in the north of the Song Dynasty were wiped out, and a large number of Han people on Hebei Lianglu and Hedong Lu were captured to the Kingdom of Jin.

There are countless treasures, livestock, craftsmen, weapons, and generals of the Song Dynasty.

These have greatly enhanced the national strength of Jin Guo.

Most importantly, these Han people who were relocated to Shangjing brought advanced technology to the humble Shangjing, which greatly improved the quality of life of the Jurchen nobles.

It can be said that Zong Han's status in the heart of the Jurchens even surpassed that of the Golden Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai and Wanyan Gao.

But this time, Zong Han actually lost 8 people!

The [-]-strong army on the eastern front collapsed, and the middle road suffered heavy losses. The Song army was besieging Taiyuan Mansion at this time.

These news made Jin Guochaotang feel a little unreal.

Just in the first half of last year, they pressed Da Song Chao on the ground and rubbed back and forth, and Da Song didn't even have a chance to fight back.

But this year, the whole situation seems to have undergone a shocking change.

Even Wanyan Zongwang couldn't accept the situation.

No wonder Wanyan Gao was so angry that he vomited blood and passed out.

Next, Jin Guochaotang changed from arguing whether to fight the Eastern Front or the Western Front to whether to send more troops to the front.

If Jin Guo wanted to continue fighting, there must still be a very sufficient source of troops.

There are 40 war horses in the Kingdom of Jin. In this battle, 10,000 war horses were invested, and there are still three [-]+ horses.

And to mobilize an army, another 20 can be mobilized, and Wushu still has [-] troops.

And there is still money in the treasury. For the first time when he besieged Tokyo City, Wanyan Zongwang extorted 500 million taels of gold and 5000 million taels of silver from Song Qinzong Zhao Huan.

And when the Liao Dynasty was destroyed, the Jin Kingdom inherited the richest territory of the Liao Kingdom.

Now the Jin Kingdom's treasury is not short of money, nor is it short of weapons!

You can fight again anytime you want.

Zong Han's letter analyzed the current situation. He believed that although the Song Dynasty had made several powerful counterattacks, it was already at the end of its strength.

As long as we continue to invest more troops now and continue to fight down, let alone the towns in Shaanxi, Hebei Lianglu, Hedong Road, Jingdong Lianglu, and even Lianghuai can be defeated.

Therefore, in this letter, Zong Han is actually analyzing the disadvantages of the time, and persuading the Jin Emperor Wanyan Wu to beg to buy and continue to increase troops, and to fight while the Song Dynasty is now at a loss, and keep fighting!

His point of view has also been supported by many people.

He also wrote to Zongwang alone, persuading Zongwang to direct himself.

Wanyan Zongwang was even moved by Zong Han's words, because what Zong Han said was indeed reasonable. Although the Song Army fought a few beautiful counterattacks, the consumption must have been very high.

Consumption in terms of military expenditures, rations, troops, weapons, etc. is very, very large.

As long as you continue to play now, there is a high probability that you can achieve unexpected results.

but……

Chapter 164 Zhao Ning's lingering plot (third update)

On this day, Jin Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai summoned his important ministers.

"Zong Wang, take a look at Zong Han's memorial."

Zong Wang pretended not to know, he took it over and read Zong Han's memorial.

"Everyone, take a look."

Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongpan and others all read it one by one.

"What do you guys want to say?"

Wanyan Zongqian said: "Your Majesty, Ban Bo Jilie is currently sick in bed, and he should immediately send the imperial doctor to Yanjing."

"I have sent the imperial doctor there."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

"Zong Wang, what do you think of this matter?"

Wanyan Zongwang said: "Marshal Zonghan is right. Although the Song Dynasty fought several counterattacks and seemed to have the upper hand, it actually consumed a lot."

"How do you say that?"

"Since last year, I have sent many secret agents to Hebei Lianglu and Hedong Road to investigate the people's and military conditions there, as well as investigate the situation of Song Dynasty officials there."

Wanyan Zongwang continued: "The Song Dynasty now has three major disadvantages, which are fatal."

"[-]. Many parts of West Hebei Road are deserted, and the people either starved to death or fled south. East Hebei Road is only slightly better than West Road. There is a large gap in the population there, and the fields are barren and there are no people."

"In this way, there will be a shortage of people and food."

"Second, officials lack confidence in Song Ting, and do not believe that Song Ting can hold on. Many officials have expressed to their ministers that they are willing to take refuge in Dajin."

"Officials have lost confidence, which means local chaos. Large-scale bandits and bandits appeared in Hebei and Hedong, which further destroyed people's livelihood and severely damaged the Song Dynasty."

"Three, a large number of refugees from the north of the Yellow River flooded into the south of the Yellow River, which would have a great impact on the order of people's livelihood in the south of the Yellow River, and further chaos within the Song Dynasty."

"These three points have dealt a huge blow to the Song Dynasty."

Wanyan Wu Qimai nodded and agreed.

"Then you agree with Zong Han's idea?"

"No, Your Majesty, I do not agree with Marshal Zong Han's idea."

"Why is this?"

"In the current war, there are many contradictions in the many military reports that have come back. For example, the [-] troops on the Eastern Front were defeated, but the Eastern Front said that Song Emperor Zhao Huan died on the front line. Zhao Ji returned and proposed peace talks."

"Marshal Zong Han's report mentioned the battle of Shangdang. Song Emperor Zhao Huanyu personally led the conquest. Both sides fought bloody Shangdang, and both were severely injured. Zhao Huan may have died in Shangdang."

"This is also the reason why Zongfu received the letter of peace, but why was Zongfu attacked by the Song army again?"

Wanyan Zongpan took the words and said: "As you said, this may be a trick of Song Jun."

"Yes, but it's only possible." Wanyan Zongwang said.

Everyone was puzzled, not knowing what Zong Wang wanted to say.

"Did Zhao Huan really die in battle? The Song army was powerful in Shaanxi, and Zhang Jun mobilized the Shaanxi garrison. Does the Eastern Front also have a large number of troops?"

"Wanyanchang's military newspaper said that Fucheng has a Song army with strong combat effectiveness. Although the number is small, it is difficult to capture it. Moreover, Cangzhou has not been conquered from the beginning to the end."

"You mean, there are actually a large number of Song troops on the Eastern Front?"

"At least there are Song generals who can fight very well." Wanyan Zongwang said in a very cautious tone, "The Song generals who attacked Zongfu were by no means idle. Defeated, this Song army defender is by no means an ordinary generation."

At that time, although Zongfu was the leader of the defeated army, he still led a large number of his elites to retreat to the Yongjing army.

But he was unlucky, he was beaten up by Yue Fei, and met Han Shizhong again.

This is really the unluckiest Golden Army commander of the year.

"The law of war says that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will win every battle. It is not luck that the Song army was able to fight back this time. When the people's power and food in Hebei and Hedong were in crisis, they could still achieve such results. I think we should stop for a while. Stop, clear up these doubts, and make a decision before it's too late."

As soon as Wanyan Zongpan heard that the war was going to cease, he immediately regained his spirits.

He is a standard advocate and faction.

In the Jin Dynasty, the main peace faction and the main war faction have also begun to distinguish clearly.

Moreover, the Jin Kingdom Chaotang was as chaotic as the Great Song Dynasty.

The peace faction of the Great Song Dynasty was divided into the true peace faction and the capitulation faction.

The Allah Peace faction negotiates peace first, develops wretchedly, and then continues to fight.

For example, in history, Zhao Ding, who had a good relationship with Yue Fei, was a peacemaker, who believed that he should develop his own strength first, and then fight against gold.

The capitulation faction ceded land and paid compensation and called Dad, for example...too much.

The Lord Harmony faction of the Jin Guochaotang is divided into the Allah Harmony faction and the Power Seizure faction.

Allah He Pai is someone like Wanyan Zongwang who wants to resolve internal conflicts first, cut off the grassland threat, and then wait for the opportunity to destroy the Song Dynasty.

The power seizing faction is people like Wanyan Zongpan who want to be in power and who are purely opposed to the main combat faction like Wanyan Zonghan.

Wanyan Zongpan's main purpose is to weaken the power of Wanyan Zonghan and others. He is the eldest son of Wanyan Wu begging, and he wants to be the crown prince.

Since Zongwang said not to fight yet, Wanyan Zongpan of course jumped out immediately, and he said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Say."

"This time I lost a lot of gold. Not only did I not get any advantage, but I lost a lot of warriors. The defeat is small, but the defeat of His Majesty's Tianwei is great."

"So what do you think?"

"I believe that someone should bear the consequences of this war, otherwise how to explain to the warriors who died in battle, how to explain to the people of the world?"

As soon as Wanyan Zongpan said this, the court suddenly fell into a dead silence.

He couldn't understand what he said. He wanted the leader of the main combat faction to come out and bear the consequences.

Who is the leader of the main battle faction?

Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zonghan, the two hard-line extermination factions.

The Golden Wushu in this period is still only second-tier, not ranked high.

After being silent for a while, Zong Wang said: "Your Majesty, first send someone to Yanjing to condolences to Ban Bo Jilie. The life and death of Ban Bo Jilie is related to the foundation of the country."

"Zong Wang, you will go instead of me."

"The minister takes orders."

Wanyan Zongpan is obviously too naive, who is Zonghan?

Shi Liai, Han Qixian, and Gao Qingyi of Hanchen are all Zonghan's people, and Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Balisu and other people with great military exploits are all Zonghan's people.

If Zong Han were to be executed now, it would inevitably cause the biggest political turmoil since the founding of Jin Guochaotang.

This is the self-destructing Great Wall.

Wanyan Wu begging for money is at least half a hero, how could he do such a stupid thing.

In his heart, he even hated his son a little bit. This kind of blatantly saying Zong Han's words in the court is really not political.

If you say that there is a problem with Shi Li'ai, it is much better to deal with Shi Li'ai, or to say that there is a problem with Yinshu than to let Zong Han take responsibility.

To deal with people like Zong Han, it is not to be tough directly, but to find a reason to cut off the people around him.

This is a political struggle!

So stupid!

As Zhao Ning had expected, the Jin Guochaotang had already had a dispute.

The fact that Zong Pan was ignored in court today doesn't mean he gave up.

After returning, Wanyan Zongpan started looking for something.

what?

"On the Early Stage of the Song-Jin War" written by Zhao Ning.

He wants to find out this article, and find theoretical points from this article to negotiate a peace with the Song Dynasty, so as to promote the peace negotiation.

As long as a peace can be negotiated, Zong Han's military power can be weakened.

Zhao Ning's article finally started to stir up troubles again in the court of the Kingdom of Jin.

There was an undercurrent in the court of the Kingdom of Jin, and at this time, Zhao Ning was not idle, he was urging Zhao Gou to check the clan's property.

Next, some mysterious death cases of the clan began to be staged in the Song Dynasty.

Chapter 165 Continue to increase troops? (first update)

On March 29, the headline of "Hebei War Times": The Military and Political Academy sent 10 more troops to the front line of Hebei!

On the same day, the "Shaanxi Zhanbao" established by the Jingzhao government also published their first edition of the newspaper: The Privy Council sent 20 more troops to Shaanxi!

For a time, the news began to spread rapidly everywhere.

On the first day of April, Zhao Ning received Zong Ze's latest memorial.

Wushu retreated to Zhending Mansion, Zhaozhou and Xingzhou were both taken back by the Song Army, and the two sides confronted each other in Zhending Mansion.
