. II. Naval Raid 7

Zhao Yueru came in, and after greeting Zhao Tuan, she said: "Why is the official's complexion so bad, isn't there something annoying?" ”

Zhao Tuan sighed and said, "You must know the situation now, why don't you make me upset?" ”

Zhao Yueru said: "It's not for Chen Xianggong, Han Shumi is planning to resist the Jin army, and the officials don't have to be too anxious." ”

Zhao Tuan smiled bitterly again, and said: "You don't know, I just received an emergency from Sichuan today, and Xixia actually wants to take advantage of the fire to rob and dispatch an army of 300,000 to attack Sichuan. ”

Zhao Yueru was shocked when she heard this, but she didn't have any good way for a while, and she was speechless for a while, and after a while, Zhao Yueru said: "Why don't the officials ask Yu Xianggong, he is knowledgeable and military-savvy, maybe he will have some way to deal with it?" ”

Zhao Tuan suddenly came to his senses, clapped his hands, and said, "Yes, you reminded me well." "Immediately send an edict and let the attendants prepare for the chariot battle immediately and go to Yu Yunwen's mansion. Suddenly, I saw Zhao Yueru still standing on the side, as if she wanted to speak and stopped, and then I thought that Zhao Yueru was looking for me, so Zhao Tuan asked again: "Liuniang, you came to see me, is there anything wrong?" ”

Zhao Yueru suddenly got up, bowed to the ground, and said: "Now that the Jin army is invading, her safety is in danger, her daughter is not talented, and she is willing to lead the army to fight against the Jin army, please ask the official family for permission." ”

Zhao Tuan was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then said: "I already know, and I will wait until I go to Yu Binfu." ”

Walking out of the palace gate, a cold wind blew, dark clouds covered the sky, and the autumn rain came with a meridian.

Although Yu Yunwen was seriously ill, he was reported to him about all the major events that happened in the court, so Yu Yunwen also knew everything about the Jin army's southern invasion and surprise attack from the sea. However, after listening to what Zhao Tuan said about the Western Xia will also invade, Yu Yunwen closed his eyes slightly and leaned on the back of the bed, obviously in deep thought.

Because Yu Yunwen has been seriously ill, bedridden, and unable to get up to see the fight, Zhao Tuan just sat opposite Yu Yunwen's hospital bed. Although he had known for a long time that Yu Yunwen was suffering from a bad illness, when he saw Yu Yunwen's appearance in person, Zhao Tuan couldn't help but feel sad. Since Zhang Jun's death, Zhao Tuan has always regarded Yu Yunwen as a minister, and pinned his hopes for recovering the Central Plains on him, but now even Yu Yunwen will die soon, and other people in the court are not auxiliary political materials, so it will be more difficult to recover in the future.

At this time, Yu Yunwen opened his eyes, saw Zhao Tuan's appearance, smiled slightly, and said: "Life and death have their own destiny, how can people force it, Your Majesty doesn't have to be so sad." ”

Zhao Tuan said: "Yu Qing ......"

Yu Yunwen said again: "The Western Xia raised 300,000 soldiers, according to the minister's view, it is just a bluff, the Western Xia is still a small country in the west, and the soldiers of the country are less than 300,000. And in recent years, the Western Xia has been vassalizing the Jin State in order to survive, and now there have been decades of no sword soldiers, Shaoxing 31 years (year) to complete the southern invasion of Yan Liang, the main road four years (8 years) when I was in the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Xia has never moved, it can be seen that its monarchs and ministers have long been no enterprising, far from being comparable to Li Yuanhao's martial and belligerent times. This time, it was only in response to the pressure of the Jin State that he was forced to send troops, and at most tens of thousands of horses would be dispatched to make a show. Moreover, the terrain of Sichuan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Yan Zongbi returned in vain, not to mention the soldiers of Western Xia. Therefore, Your Majesty does not need to be too careful. ”

When Zhao Tuan heard Yu Yunwen's analysis, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and said: "As Yu Qing said, Western Xia is not to be afraid, so how should the Jin people resist the southern invasion this time?" ”

Yu Yunwen took a breath before saying: "This Jin invasion seems to be fierce, but in fact it is not, in fact, it is just a strong outsider, and it is not difficult to deal with." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Tuan didn't expect Yu Yunwen to say this, and couldn't help but say, "Why did Yu Qing say this?" ”

Yu Yunwen smiled faintly and said: "After four years of dry road, after my Northern Expedition to the Great Song Dynasty, the Jin people were also unstable, first the northern Tatars disturbed its territory, and then there was the Red Wo Army flag in Shandong, although they were all pacified by the Jin people, but it also consumed national strength, and now the Jin people have just been stable for less than a year, so they boldly invaded the south, and they also had to ask the Western Xia to send troops to assist, which shows that their troops are also insufficient. Let's ask the Lielai Jin people who invaded the Song Dynasty, how could they have been rescued in other countries, it can be seen that they will not last long. ”

Zhao Tuan nodded frequently after hearing this, and said, "Yu Qing's words are deeply comforting. ”

At this time, Yu Yunwen said a lot of things in a row, but he couldn't catch his breath, and coughed again and again, and the maid hurriedly handed over a cup of tea and helped Yu Yunwen drink it. Then Yu Yunwen lay back on the bed, wheezing.

When Zhao Tuan saw it, he couldn't bear to ask any more, and said: "Yu Qing is still recuperating first, I will go back to the palace first, and then come to see Yu Qing in a few days." ”

Yu Yunwen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is busy, Rong Chen will finish speaking." ”

In fact, Zhao Tuan didn't want to listen to Yu Yunwen's words, and said, "Yu Qing doesn't have to be in a hurry, speak slowly." ”

Yu Yunwen "exhaled" and said: "This time, the Jin people dared to invade the south, but they only took advantage of the Haizhou Navy to go south to quell the chaos, and the sea guards were empty, so they took advantage of the void to enter. Although it was unexpected, deep into the Song realm, but it was also a lone army, it would never be a large army, at most twenty or thirty thousand people, although there were not many people left behind in Lin'an, it was actually enough to deal with it, and the Jin army had no reinforcements, and no food and grass. As long as our Great Song Dynasty strictly guards the border, does not allow the Jin army to break through the border defense, and then clears the fortification along the sea wall in Jiaxing, so that the Jin army cannot be replenished, within a month, this lone army will be defeated without a fight, so we must not be frightened by the Jin army and mess with the formation. ”

Zhao Tuan nodded, and a smile appeared on his face, this time he was really relieved. It seems that Yu Yunwen's insight is extraordinary. Suddenly, the smile on Zhao Tuan's face froze, and he suddenly said, "It's not good." ”

Yu Yunwen was also stunned and said, "Your Majesty, what happened?" ”

Zhao Tuan smiled bitterly: "Three days ago, I issued an edict to transfer the imperial garrison of Zhenjiang Mansion to return to Lin'an. ”

When Yu Yunwen heard this, his face also changed greatly, and he suddenly coughed violently, so panicked that the two maids stroked their chests and backs, and Zhao Tuan also stood up from the chair, helpless.

After a while, Yu Yunwen calmed down a little, waved his hand and said to a maid, "Hurry up...... Go get it...... Take the map. ”

The maid hurriedly brought the map, Yu Yunwen turned over, sat up, spread out the map on the bed, and looked at it carefully. Even Zhao Tuan didn't dare to speak out and was shocked, and he regretted it in his heart, he knew that this was the case, so he should have come to ask Yu Yunwen a few days earlier.

After a long while, Yu Yunwen put down the map, let out a slow breath, and said, "Your Majesty, if this time is really irreparable, how should Your Majesty put it aside." ”

Saying that, he looked at Zhao Tuan, and the two looked at each other for a long time, and then Zhao Tuan said slowly: "The Son of Heaven is dead, if the will of heaven is like this, I will never reduce the gold, when the city of Lin'an is broken, I will die for the country to comfort the soul of Emperor Taizong in the sky." ”

Yu Yunwen closed his eyes and was silent for a while before he said: "Once Zhenjiang is lost, Jiankang Mansion cannot be lost again." As long as Jiankang is not lost, the Yangtze River is still in the hands of our Great Song Dynasty, so the Jin army has attacked the Yangtze River, even if it is to give up Lin'an, it must not abandon Jiankang. ”

Zhao Tuan nodded and said, "What if you give up Lin'an?" ”

Yu Yunwen said: "Now Yang Yan has no less than 100,000 mercenaries in Guangnan, and he can rely on it, but he is too far away, and the distant water does not quench his thirst. If it is really incomprehensible, you can abandon Lin'an and retreat to Tanzhou, which is close to Guangnan, and you can join forces with Yang Yan to resist the Jin army. Then transfer the Xiangyang Navy to the east, join forces with Jiankang Mansion to control the Yangtze River, and transfer the Guangnan Navy to the north to control the sea route, so that the Jin people will be separated by the Yangtze River, and when the grain and grass cannot be helped, they can break their entire army in one fell swoop. It's just that in this way, there are too many variables, and the calculation of victory and defeat depends on half of human strategy and half of providence. It's not up to the ministers to know. ”

Zhao Tuan listened and was silent. The plan that Yu Yunwen said is indeed the only feasible, and it also has a certain chance of winning, but it is difficult to say when it is really implemented, and in the process of implementation, if you are not careful, you will lose everything. Moreover, it is not known what kind of changes will be made, and the more important members, such as Chen Junqing, Han Yanzhi and others, such as Chen Junqing, Han Yanzhi and others, are not the best candidates for the implementation of this plan. In Zhao Tuan's mind, only Yu Yunwen can really take responsibility, but now Yu Yunwen's situation is only ......

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuan couldn't help but say: "I don't know what Yu Qing thinks, who can take on such a big responsibility?" ”

Yu Yunwen exhaled a sigh and said, "The minister thinks that now that I am in the Great Song Dynasty, only Yang Yan can take on the task of refunding the gold and restoring the country." ”

Zhao Tuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Yang Yan? ”

Yu Yunwen said: "Exactly, although Yang Yan is young, but the ministers look at his use of the army in Guangnan this time, all of them plan and then move, and he does have the material of a general. This is a matter of the survival of my Great Song Dynasty, and there must be no mistakes, please do not hesitate Your Majesty. ”

Zhao Tuan hesitated for a moment before he said: "Yu Qing's words, I will never forget them, but the trouble is big, I should think twice before deciding." ”

Yu Yunwen sighed softly, and knew that it was impossible for Zhao Tuan to agree immediately, so he struggled to sit up straight on the bed, bowed to Zhao Tuan, and said: "As the so-called'man is dying, his words are also good, and the bird is dying, and his song is also mourning" The minister was gracious to His Majesty and gave him a heavy responsibility, so he didn't dare to forget, but now he is stumbling and can't repay it. If it comes to the day when the golden people break the city, they must plant themselves to live up to the grace of His Majesty. ”

Zhao Tuan was stunned for a moment, and then the rain outside the window was raging, and the heavy rain began to fall. Zhao Tuan suddenly felt exhausted.
