Han Yanzhi also said: "Your Majesty, the ancients had a brigade to become a Zhongxing, although the Jin people occupy the land of two Huai and two Zhejiang, but the foothold is not yet stable, not to mention that now I still have ten roads in the Great Song Dynasty, hundreds of officials are there, more than 200,000 military horses, all of them are united, and the soldiers use their lives. The sky is endless, my Great Song Dynasty, how can I slander a country? If you negotiate peace with the Jin people and abandon the land of Lianghuai and Zhejiang, not only will the Great Song Dynasty be fundamentally lost, but it will also hurt the hearts of people with lofty ideals in the world, and within ten years, the Great Song Dynasty will not be far from the country. ”

Even Liang Kejia and Hong Shi, who have always advocated peace with the Jin State, also believe that with the current situation, if they negotiate peace with the Jin State and cede the land of Lianghuai and Liangzhejiang to the Jin State, it is actually equivalent to giving the Jin State time to stabilize these places.

After hearing this, Zhao Dian immediately said that he would never negotiate peace with the Jin State.

At this time, Shi Hao, another political participant, said: "Your Majesty, the land of the two lakes is too close to the Jin army now, and it is not safe. And Sichuan is rich, known as the country of abundance, and the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the minister thought that His Majesty should be fortunate to frame Sichuan, and established another temporary line in Chengdu Mansion, thinking that the restoration of the fundamental. ”

Han Yanzhi immediately retorted: "Although Sichuan is rich, it is in a corner, and it is difficult to command and dispatch the overall situation. Moreover, the Sichuan road is difficult, although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is also inconvenient to go out of the army. What's more, since ancient times, there has never been a person who has lived in Sichuan and won the world. And Tianlin Mansion is located in the key road, water and land, extending in all directions, which is the foundation of recovery. ”

Liu Heng also said: "Now there are no less than 200,000 troops around Tianlin Mansion, and the elite soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are all here, how can it be said that it is not safe." If Your Majesty is fortunate enough to take Sichuan, it will be difficult to ensure the safety of Your Majesty, and if you lead more troops, and the troops of Lianghu are empty, how can you resist the Jin army. What's more, the Jin army is also attacking in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and Sichuan may not be spared. Fortunately, Sichuan should be regarded as a reject, and it cannot be discussed again. ”

Zhao Dian listened, was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Qing's words are reasonable, fortunately, the discussion of Sichuan, can not be mentioned again." ”

In this way, after several ministers argued, they finally decided on the policy of fighting the Jin army, and the following is to discuss the deployment of the army. At present, among the seven ruling ministers, only Han Yanzhi and Liu Heng have experience in the army, which can be regarded as proficient in military affairs, and the other four are all civilian officials, among which Chen Junqing and Liang Kejia are veteran ministers, although they are not proficient in military affairs, but they still know some, Hong Shi has served as the privy deputy envoy for a few months, and he can also say a thing or two, only Long Dayuan and Shi Hao, as long as they talk about military affairs, they can't talk at all.

After some deliberation, several ruling ministers believed that it was better to adopt the plan that had been drawn up before, and to divide the middle reaches of the Yangtze River into two defenses, the north and the south. In terms of the main generals, Li Xianzhong and Yang Yan are still selected, but the deployment of the troops needs to be discussed with the leading generals before arranging.

Needless to say, Li Xianzhong's qualifications and prestige are not easy to block 200,000 gold soldiers in Jiankang Mansion for nearly a month with 70,000 horses, and he is not the second choice in the current Great Song Dynasty, and although Yang Yan is young, the merits established in the past two years far exceed those of other generals, and he was personally designated by Zhao Yan on his deathbed. This time, thanks to his leading army, the Song army in Jiankang Mansion was able to withdraw safely, so Zhao Dian listened to it and nodded without disagreement.

And on the second day, Zhao Dian ordered Yang Yan to meet alone.

Yang Yan entered the temporary palace and saw Zhao Dian, and unexpectedly found that Zhao Yueru was also accompanied by the side seat. Because Zhao Yueru is still a princess who has not yet left the cabinet, since she arrived in Tanzhou, Zhao Yueru has lived in a temporary palace. Later, Yang Yan went to pick up Jiankang's people again, and the two never saw each other again. However, in front of Zhao Dian, Yang Yan didn't want to act too much, just glanced at Zhao Yueru, and then lowered his head.

After seeing Zhao Dian, Yang Yan got up. Immediately he ordered a seat to be given. Yang Yan thanked him. Zhao Dian smiled and said: "This is not the court, but you and I have a private opinion, not to mention that Zihao is Jiuniang's concubine, and he is also my sister-in-law, if it is not comparable to outsiders, there is no need to be polite." It's easier to sit down and talk. ”

Yang Yan heard Zhao Dian say this, and it was not good to excuse himself, and after thanking him, he sat down.

Zhao Dian glanced at Zhao Yueru and said: "When the first emperor was here, he told me that he might give Liuniang to Zihao, and I didn't dare to go against the will of the first emperor, but now the country is in a difficult situation, and it is difficult to marry Liuniang for you, so I think that after the situation calms down a little, it will not be too late to have another wedding, what does Zihao think?" ”

Yang Yan peeked at Zhao Yueru again, and saw that her face was slightly dizzy, and her eyes were slightly embarrassed, but more joy, and said, "Everything is up to Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Dian nodded and said: "I know that my talent is shallow, I have no talent and no virtue, but I was able to succeed to the throne by the order of the first emperor and the edict of the emperor." Fortunately, there are still a few loyal and virtuous ministers left by the previous emperor to me, which can be relied on. When the first emperor was there, he often praised Zihao for his resourcefulness, using soldiers like a god, and he could be entrusted with important tasks, such as ordering the Jin people to invade my Great Song Dynasty, and the Jiangshan Society was in danger. ”

When Yang Yan heard this, he hurriedly got up and thanked him: "Your Majesty rest assured, the ministers should do their best to protect the Great Song Dynasty, repel the Jin army, and make Your Majesty return to Lin'an as soon as possible." Do your best, and then die. ”

Zhao Dian nodded again, waved his hand and motioned for Yang Yan to sit down, and said, "I don't know if Zihao has any good plan now, can he repel the Jin army?" ”

Yang Yan had already thought of the answer to this point, and said: "Your Majesty, don't look at the Jin people who now occupy the land of Lianghuai and Zhejiang, and the momentum is flourishing, and the number of soldiers is actually committed. Second, the Jin people marched thousands of miles away, traveled far into the rivers and lakes, and the logistics supply was thousands of miles, and now in the middle of winter, there will be wind and snow in the north, and the transportation of grain and grass will inevitably be difficult. Third, the Jin people are mostly northerners, and when they arrive in the south, they will inevitably suffer from illness and suffering. Fourth, the Jin people are good at fighting horses, and the rivers, lakes and ports in the south of the Yangtze River are the majority, and the horses cannot be driven. From this point of view, although the Jinmen soldiers and horses are numerous, although the momentum is fierce, they are not afraid. ”

Zhao Dian listened, and couldn't help but show joy, it turned out that although he said in front of several ruling ministers that he would fight with the Jin army to the end, but after returning to the palace, he was very strong but the Jin army was strong, and he was afraid that the enemy would not be able to defeat the Jin army, so he couldn't let go of it in his heart.
