In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 188
In the history of Mongolia's three-way gold cutting, the most important thing is the [-] cavalry of the Western Route Army that dragged mines.

At that time, the Kingdom of Jin used Tongguan and the Yellow River to form the Guanhe line of defense, and the Mongols were unable to attack repeatedly. At this moment, a surrendered Han named Li Changguo in Fengxiang offered advice to Torre: "Now the Kingdom of Jin has moved its capital to Bianjing. It is Tongguan and the Yellow River. If we go out of Baoji and pass through Hanzhong, we can reach Tang (now Tanghe County, Henan Province) and Deng (now Deng County, Henan Province) in one month, and then attack the Kingdom of Jin from behind like a magic soldier. It can wipe out the Kingdom of Jin in one fell swoop." Tuo Lei thought that this plan was feasible, and went up to play Wo Kuo Tai (the third son of Genghis Khan, brother of Tuo Lei) Khan.

Torre's "fake roads to cut gold" was originally an "impossible" task. Forty thousand cavalry moved thousands of miles across Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Henan provinces, and even crossed the Qinling Mountains. This difficulty will be seen in later generations. Come on, it is dozens of times more difficult than Deng Ai Mie Shu.

But he succeeded.

When Tuo Lei borrowed a way from the Sichuan Song Army, Song Lizong hesitated and refused to borrow a way.

At that time, Zhang Xuan, the capital of Mianzhou, directly beheaded the Mongolian envoy.

After thinking about it, Tuo Lei decided to pretend to attack the Song Dynasty from the west, and then enter the Song Dynasty from the east, pretending to attack gold.

Because a few years ago, Zheng Shun, the governor of Sichuan at that time, made the wrong decision to abandon the five states outside the pass (Jiezhou, Chengzhou, Fengzhou, Xihezhou, and Tianshui Army). The "Three Passes and Five States" defense system that had been in operation for more than a hundred years in the Southern Song Dynasty began to completely disintegrate, giving Tuolei room to make full use of it.

So Tuo Lei deceived the generals of the Song army with tactics, and set off from Fengxiang with 15 cavalry, passing through Baoji, crossing the Weihe River, taking the Lianyun Plank Road, crossing the Dasan Pass, crossing the Qinling Mountains, passing through Fengxian County to Hanzhong, thus breaking through the Southern Song Dynasty. The century-old Shukou defense line established by Wu Jie and Wu Lin moved thousands of miles, and finally appeared behind the Kingdom of Jin. In World War I, the last [-] elite troops of the Kingdom of Jin were defeated, and the battle to destroy Jin was decided.

As a time traveler, Zhao Yurui is not very proficient in the history of the Song Dynasty, but it is a historical classic that Tuo Lei faked the way and conquered gold. He immediately pointed out the biggest loophole in the current Jin Kingdom.

When Wanyan Shouxu saw this, he was really enlightened.

In history, the Mongolian Khan wanted to kill Tuo Lei, and deliberately leaked the news. Wanyan Shouxu therefore gathered the last elite, 13 infantry, and [-] cavalry to stop the attack. He fought successively in front of him, but suddenly encountered heavy snow. The Jin army is not used to snow God, it was defeated by Tuo Lei.

Now Zhao Yurui has warned in advance that the Kingdom of Jin has enough time to rebuild the Nanyang defense line, and even move the defense line to the direction of Hanshui to block the Mongolian army from the Jin territory.

As long as Jin Guo keeps its back, it will be fine for another two to thirty years, or even four to fifty years.

And because Zhao Yurui was worried about Sichuan, he had already transferred Zheng Sun back to the capital in advance, and had another appointment, and Cui Yuzhi was replaced to preside over the overall situation in Sichuan.

Zhao Yurui's last words were quite sincere, pointing out the biggest loophole of the Jin Kingdom, and promised that they would try their best to defend Sichuan and not give Mongolia a chance to detour.

"If our Majesty is not sincere, and we only need to go through Mongolia, the Kingdom of Jin will be in danger. I hope the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin can understand our Majesty's sincerity."

At this time, even Yilapua also felt that the emperor of Song Dynasty was very sincere to join the alliance, otherwise, relying on Dao Mongol's ingenious plan, it would be enough to make the Dajin Kingdom fall into a place of eternal doom.

"Exchanging space for time? Save people and lose land, and all people and land will survive; if you lose land and lose people, all people and land will be lost?" Wanyan Shouxu repeated these words at this time: "Well said, well said, you Song people The emperor was able to eliminate Shi Miyuan, who was so powerful and powerful, he was really powerful and insightful."

Yilapua's face suddenly changed slightly, thinking that the new emperor of the Song Dynasty is so powerful, is he afraid that he will block Mongolia in the future, or will he be betrayed by the Song people?
"Your emperor has a good plan. You want our Dajin Kingdom to be in the front, and you will benefit from the back?" Yilapua said immediately.

Qi Ying said in a deep voice: "Whether I, Qi Ying, or not, you all have to face Mongolia. The first Mongolia to be destroyed is the Kingdom of Jin. Since you say so, then pretend that I have never been here."

Then he said: "If the privy judge is not convinced, you can give us the whole west of Tongguan to the Song Dynasty, and see if we dare to fight Mongolia."

Yila Pua was stunned, and wanted to say something more.

Wanyan Shouxu hurriedly acted as a peacemaker: "Don't quarrel, you two, Mongolia is our common enemy."

Zhang Tiangang also immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think some of what the Emperor of Song said is very reasonable. We can't care about the gains and losses of a city and a place with Mongolia. Instead of giving the population to Mongolia cheaply, they will plunder them and pretend to be civilians to attack. For our city, it is better to exchange various supplies with the Song people."

In history, Wanyan Shouxu always wanted to restore the Dajin Kingdom, and sent troops out to fight against Mongolia many times, and also recovered some cities. effect.

After many cities were taken down by Mongols, the local people became the husbands of the Mongols and used to attack the cities of the Kingdom of Jin.

Instead of this, why not just relocate all the local people and leave Mongolia with empty cities?

Zhao Yurui managed to fool Wanyan Shouxu into agreeing to the strategy of exchanging population for resources.

However, there were still important differences between the two sides. Yilapua did not agree to divide Fengxiang to Song Ting.

Fengxiang is an important barrier for the Kingdom of Jin in Shaanxi. The Kingdom of Jin has [-] troops stationed in Fengxiang, corresponding to Tongguan.

Once Fengxiang is lost, the enemy can go straight to Tongguan.

The land on the west side of Tongguan is basically useless.

Qi Ying earnestly persuaded, Fengxiang is not too close to your Tongguan, it is six or seven hundred miles away, if the Mongolian army comes, will you save it or not?But Fengxiang is close to us, we can save him. (At that time, Song Ting guarded Dasan Pass, which was closer to Fengxiang)
This is right on point.

In history, when the Mongols attacked Fengxiang, Wanyan Shouxu urgently ordered Tongguan soldiers to rescue him, but Yilapua was stationed at Tongguan at that time and refused without hesitation.

Because Tongguan is a dangerous pass, he thought that as long as Tongguan was guarded, it would be fine if Mongolia attacked halfway, even Tongguan would be lost.

Qi Ying said again, if we want to do business with Xixia, we must make an excuse. If you don't give us Fengxiang, and don't give us the west of Linzhao Road, how can we trade with Xixia?
If the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin still cared about the immediate interests of several cities and places, the losses would only be greater when the Mongol army came over.

Qi Ying meant that Fengxiang and the west of Linzhao Road were all given over to Song Ting, and Jin Guo also moved most of the population west of Tongguan to the east of Tongguan, which would result in an uninhabited area of ​​nearly hundreds of miles.

Song Guo only insisted on Fengxiang and Dashan Pass, and all other populations west of Linzhao Road moved to Sichuan and the south of Dashan Pass.

In this way, the two sides formed a huge no-man's land between Shaanxi and Henan. If Mongolia wanted to attack from here, supplies and civilians would be a huge problem.

"If you can't hold on to Fengxiang, no matter how much land and population is west of Tongguan, it will be given to Mongolia for nothing."

"If you want to save Fengxiang, you must use all your troops to fight the Mongolian field. Does His Majesty have confidence?"

Qi Ying basically explained clearly how Mongolia fought Shaanxi.

The Mongols will definitely come to fight Fengxiang first, will your soldiers and horses from Tongguan go to rescue?
If you go to rescue, you may be surrounded and rescued halfway, and the whole army will be wiped out, even Tongguan will be lost.

If you don’t save it, everything west of Tongguan will be lost, and your population and resources will all become Mongolian. At that time, the Mongols will drive your people to carry soil and fill ditches to attack Tongguan.

Then why don't you make a deal with our Song Dynasty now and sell it for a good price?

In history, Yila Pua did not save him.

He can obviously understand the consequences and outcome of saving or not.

Qi Ying is Yan Ying, who once helped Zhao Yurui to go to Korea and take Jeju Island back from Korea. He is courageous and resourceful, and his thinking is clear. As long as Wanyan Shouxu is not fatuous and incompetent, he will definitely understand.

Wanyan Shouxu took the initiative to show his favor to the Southern Song Dynasty in history, set up a list many times to calm the people, and listened to the dissuasion of Hanchen Zhang Tiangang, which shows that he is a relatively reasonable person.

Hearing Qi Ying talk about this, the three monarchs and ministers looked at each other a few times, and were weighing the pros and cons in their hearts.

Seeing the emperor's silent objection, Zhang Tiangang seemed to have realized something, and took the lead in saying, "You also said that Song and Jin can't openly form an alliance now, and Fengxiang can't be handed over to you in an open and honest manner."

"We send troops to attack Fengxiang. You fight and retreat. Take all you can take back to Tongguan." Qi Ying said immediately.

"I want 100 million jin of iron materials, 50 jin of white sugar, restarting old coins, and 100 million taels of silver per year, all of which can be given to you in the west of Linzhao Road." Wanyan Shouxu said loudly.

"Your Majesty." Yila Pua felt that it was inappropriate, but also felt that what Qi Ying said was reasonable, so he was in a dilemma.

Hearing the emperor's words, Yila Pua felt that there were too few, and more points should be made.

Qi Ying smiled and said, this is impossible, it is impossible to restart the old coins, our emperor dares to do this, does he, the emperor, still want to do it?
Wanyan Shouxu also smiled wryly.

Then the two sides bargained for a while.

Qi Ying exploded another blockbuster, and finally agreed that the Kingdom of Jin would cede Fengxiang and the west of Linzhao Road, so that Song Ting and Xixia could negotiate a peace alliance and open up trade routes.

In return for Jin Guo, Song Ting promised to provide Jin Guo with 20 catties of iron, 20 catties of sugar, and [-] copper coins every year in the next ten years.

At the same time, the borders of the two countries ceased troops to communicate with each other, and the Song Dynasty exchanged various resources for the population of the Kingdom of Jin.

Jin Guo agreed to most of Zhao and Rui's conditions, but in the actual implementation, there were almost no young and middle-aged people in the exchange population, and they were all women and middle-aged and elderly people or children.

Wanyan Shouxu kept his eyes open, and also recognized Zhao Yurui's principle of exchanging population for resources, but he didn't want to strengthen Song State.

In fact, before Mu Huali passed away last year, under Mu Li's attack, the strategic space of the Kingdom of Jin had been compressed to only the narrow areas of Guanzhong in Shaanxi, southern Hebei, southern Shanxi, northern Jiangsu, central and northern Anhui, and the entire territory of Henan. area.

In the past, Wanyan Shouxu wanted to compete for every region and every city, but now he finds that he can no longer do so.

The field battle between the Kingdom of Jin and Mongolia has already resulted in fewer victories and more losses. If the entanglement with Mongolia continues like this, elite soldiers and horses will fight less and less.

Instead of making the Mongols so cheap, it is better to resell the population to the Song people.

So he decided to move a large number of people in the west of Tongguan and in Guanzhong to the east of Tongguan and Henan, and the Song Dynasty would also move the population to the south of Dashanguan and Sichuan.

In this way, after the two countries joined forces, almost all the population in Guanzhong, Shaanxi was relocated.

The Song State used Fengxiang and Dashan Pass as its bases, and the Jin State used Tongguan as its base. No, you have to bring it in yourself.

It can be said that on the western front and Sichuan side, because of Zhao Yurui's reminder, Jin Guo and Song Ting made the worst plan and used the worst method.

A few years later, when Tuo Lei led the troops in again, he would probably vomit three liters of blood.
