She Song

Chapter 220 Conquest begins with white mountains and black waters

Wu Shu's expression turned serious when he heard that Zong Wang was interested in Han Xiaoyao.

This time, he had a quick tour of the Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers, and the rest were gone. Only Han's son stood out from the crowd, which impressed him deeply.

When the Jin delegation arrived in Tokyo, the civil and military officials in Tokyo competed to invite them. Most of them were to show their goodwill, but some also promoted the wealth and civilization of the Song Dynasty. The strangest thing was that some people actually suggested that Yan Yun was disobedient, and their words had the intention of joining hands to suppress them.

Therefore, without much effort, Wu Shu found out Han Xiaoyao's personal history, especially when the Zhenguo Army moved, he paid special attention to the slogan "defending the border for the country".

Everyone in Tokyo said that the Zhenguo Army was powerful. He had also seen the new army in the Southern Dynasty that imitated the Zhenguo Army. It was indeed extraordinary. It was completely different from the previous Forbidden Army. However, the leader of the new army said frankly: at most it was comparable to the Zhenguo Army. The army is [-]% to [-]%.

After arriving in Yanjing, he observed artillery drills and experienced the convenience of telescopes, which gave him a deeper understanding of the strength of the Zhenguo Army.

When it comes to industry, commerce and people's livelihood, although the Hanji Chamber of Commerce is rich in millions, the people of Yanjing who are waiting for prosperity are far behind. Although Han Xiaoyao has launched a series of favorable policies, it will take a long time for the people to recover, which is different from the prosperity and wealth. Tokyo is so different.

There was a split among the officials in Yanjing. At least the Zhenguo Army and the Yanyun Management Committee were above the civilian and military officers appointed by the imperial court. It was impossible for people like Wang Anzhong to be of the same mind. Moreover, under Han Xiaoyao, the military The power is too strong and the civil servants lack outstanding talents.

Listening patiently to Wu Shu's narration, Zong Wang smiled lightly and said, "Such a character is quite interesting!"

Wu Shu shook his head, looked at the nearby guards, and whispered: "No matter Tokyo Yanjing, even Zhang Jue, the rebellious one, all have more or less awe for us, but this son..."

"Isn't he afraid?" Zong Wang was a little surprised, but he didn't take it to heart. Some people are naturally stupid and bold, while others are ignorant and fearless. Whether individual Song people are afraid or not does not affect his decision-making.

"No!" Wu Shu shook his head and said, "The way he looked at me at that time was...disgust, um~ it was disgust, yes, just like we look at mosquitoes and flies..."

As the incarnation of the Jin Army, Zong Wang not only leads the way with wisdom and courage, but is also praised by the Jin Army for his calmness in times of trouble. He can calmly deal with no matter how urgent or difficult the situation is, and often even reverse the situation unexpectedly.

But Wu Shu's last few words made him suddenly open his eyes wide.

The Jurchens rose out of the Tiger River, and Agugu defeated the heroes with a rough strategy. All the fierce generals under his command were like cheating. They destroyed the Liao Kingdom with millions of cavalry in an instant. Their "invincible" domineering power made everyone tremble.

As an outstanding Wanyan Zongwang, he always looked down at the world with a playful look. Suddenly hearing Han Xiaoyao's attitude made his adrenaline surge instantly.

He could even feel goosebumps trembling all over his body.

Zong Wang, who grew up in the white mountains and black waters since childhood, learned two words from the harsh environment.

conquer!

Conquer all difficulties and obstacles!
For generations, the ancestors of the Jurchens lived in the wilderness of dense forests, hunting bears, catching tigers, wearing fur, and drinking blood. Whenever the mountains were closed by heavy snow, Zong Wang had seen too many people starve to death and freeze to death.

However, what is more cruel than the harsh environment is the Khitan people. Their endless and even intensified oppression and extortion make the iron-clad Jurchen men struggle on the verge of death.

Until one day (AD 1112), his father, Aguda, the leader of the Jurchens, openly refused the order of Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi to dance at the head fish feast in Hun Tong River (today's Songhua River).

It was also from this day that the Jurchens embarked on a journey to resist the Liao Kingdom.

After overcoming the initial nervousness and fear, the Jurchens suddenly discovered that under the splendid shell of the Liao Kingdom, there was corruption and depravity, the morale of the military and the people was weakened, and many Liao armies collapsed at the first touch.

So, just three years later, [-] Jurchens defeated the main force of one million Liao troops at Hubu Dagang, and the Liao Kingdom has been in ruins since then.

As for the Song Dynasty in the south, the 20 most elite imperial guards were defeated and killed by tens of thousands of Liao soldiers for hundreds of miles. The top Jurchen officials and even Wanyan Zongwang saw this.

In the Southern Dynasties, a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered!Aguda said: Song is a brotherly and ally country and cannot be attacked!
Only Zong Wang understands his father best. The Liao Kingdom is so big and there are too few Jurchens. Before going outside, you must first settle the interior. Once the interior is settled, you will definitely go south. Otherwise, you will not hold Pingzhou, or even promote it to "Nanjing Prefecture". .

At present, his father is critically ill, the Jurchen power is about to change, and everything is not peaceful. It is not a good time to send troops to the Song Dynasty.

However, Zong Wang quickly said to Wu Shu: "If you go to Yanjing again, follow me!"

Wu Shu was stunned, blinked and asked, "You want to go south? Just because of Han Xiaoyao?"

Wanyan Zongwang nodded and said, "Have you ever seen how to herd sheep? As long as you control the leading sheep and teach the younger sheep a lesson, you can make them docile. So, at most, it's like going to Yanjing to fight the 'Grass Valley'!"

When Wu Shu saw that the other party had made up his mind, he stopped persuading him. After all, he was not qualified to discuss military and political affairs.

Once Wanyan Zongwang made a decision, he no longer hesitated. He held a meeting with Wu Qimai and other important officials of the Jin Kingdom, and mainly proposed the suggestion of going south to Yanjing to "punish Han".

Most of the Jurchen warriors did not take it seriously.

It doesn't matter if there are tens of thousands of southerners, just punish them, as long as your Zongwang is happy.

Wu Qimai also tended to agree, but he was about to succeed and did not want Zongwang to make such a big show that it would cause complications, so he asked: "How many troops will be needed to go south this time?"

Wanyan Zongwang smiled lightly and said: "I and Yan Mu's troops, and Wu Shu has just returned from Yanjing, so I'll keep him company."

Wu Qimai did the math and found out that Zongwang's main force had five thousand troops, Wanyan Yanmu's remnants had more than a thousand troops, and Wu Shu only had more than a thousand troops. In total, there were only eight thousand troops, which was not too much.

As one of the core figures of the Jin Army, Wu Qimai naturally wanted to win over the other party, so he suggested: "The number of people is small... let's do this, I will get you another [-] riders!"

As soon as Wu Qibuy started, other important ministers understood and reported that they would send 300 to [-] men to support Zong Wang.

In the end, Zong Wang had [-] cavalry available.

Wu Qimai asked again: "When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning!" Wanyan Zongwang had already thought about it: "Soldiers are valuable and fast, and Yanjing's artillery is very powerful. We must annihilate them as soon as possible!"

Although Wu Qimai didn't believe how powerful the artillery was, he believed and valued Zong Wang, so he nodded and said: "It's all up to you to decide whether to go to Yanjing or not!"

This is a complete delegation of power to Wanyan Zongwang, who can mobilize the Jurchen border troops north of Yanjing when necessary.

At this moment, Wanyan Xiyin, who had always loved the culture of the Song Dynasty, suddenly suggested: "How about I go to Yanjing with you to see the scenery?"

This sentence suddenly made the atmosphere more delicate.

Wanyan Xiyin has always had a close relationship with Wu Qimai, and he has always been regarded as Wu Qimai's right-hand man. If he followed him south to Yanjing, who should he listen to if there was a dispute in the military meeting?

Therefore, Wanyan Zongwang subconsciously looked at Wu Qimai.

You just said that I would be in charge of everything, so why did you suddenly send a "supervisory army" over?
Should I not agree or not?
