Li Qi knew that in this context, only by giving the people enough benefits, enough dignity, and enough care could the people of Yanshan Mansion be temporarily appeased. (Please search, or directly enter to see the latest chapter) If at this time, Li Qi can go to the folk for two more laps and say a few good words to the people, it is estimated that his reputation will soar.

It's a pity that he really doesn't have the time to do this now.

Because now the Song and Jin countries are still at war.

The day after the notice was posted, Yue Fei and the others led their troops back, this is not Kaifeng, there are Song soldiers everywhere, the Yanyun area here, there are Jin soldiers everywhere, Li Qi doesn't dare to put an army outside, in case it is surrounded by people, it is really a tragedy!

But Li Qi heard that he was almost able to catch Yan Zongwang, and he was very sorry in his heart, but he also comforted Yue Fei and them a few words, telling them not to care, the monk who ran away, ran away from the temple.

Just as Li Qi was discussing the war with the seed master, Zong Ze and others, the seed master sent someone to tell Li Qi in detail about the Taiyuan war.

Li Qi learned that not only did he not destroy Yan Zonghan's army, but instead caused the Zhejia army to suffer heavy losses, and silently wrote down the name of Wanyan Xiyin in his heart, secretly thinking that there are really many talents in this Jin army array.

After hearing that Yan Zonghan had already retreated to Yunzhou, although the seed master Zhonghe Kecun recovered the towns and lands lost in this battle in the northwest in one go, including Shuozhou, Daizhou, and part of Yingzhou, he was unable to attack Yunzhou anymore.

Failing to capture Yan Zongwang did not affect the overall situation, but it did not annihilate Yan Zonghan's main force, which cast a shadow on Li Qi's plan to seize Yunzhou.

After Zong Ze learned the details, he said: "Ming Guogong, now the main force of the Jin Kingdom is in Yunzhou, and Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan are both in Yunzhou, if we go to take Yunzhou, I am afraid we will have to pay a heavy price, and we may not be able to succeed." ”

Richie nodded. Said: "The prefect of the sect is reasonable, I don't know what the prefect's plan is." ”

Zong Ze pondered for a moment and said: "It's not a clever plan, but why do we have to go to take Yunzhou, Wanyan Zongwang's main force is lost, and the defense in the northeast is weak, so why not take advantage of the main force of the Jin army in Yunzhou." Concentrate forces to continue the Northern Expedition, under the cover of the naval division, directly take Dading Mansion, or Ying, Ping Erzhou, if Yunzhou dares to divide troops to rescue, and then let the Zhejia army and the Chongjia army go to take Yunzhou. ”

Your attack on Dading Mansion is vertical. Attacking Yunzhou is horizontal, which are two completely different concepts on the battlefield, and the former is obviously much more difficult.

"This."

Li Qi's face looked a little strange when he heard this, and he thought, it is worthy of Zong Ze, you really dare to think about it, but you should also consider it. We don't have enough backing to keep fighting like this, and if we run out of supplies, we'll be all done.

In fact, if Zong Ze's plan is stable in the country, it is feasible if he has sufficient preparations, and he may really be able to catch Jin Guo off guard, because Jin Guo definitely didn't expect that you would dare to fight like this. But the problem is that it is not possible to achieve this plan at all.

All in all, only one day before Tokyo was decided, Li Qi would never dare to take more than 100,000 or 200,000 people to take risks, he could not afford to lose this battle, if he went to attack Dading Mansion, then this war was estimated to be out of control.

But so far. Zong Ze didn't know what was going on in Tokyo, and he didn't know that there were so many stories in it. Li Qi didn't plan to let Zong Ze know, because Zong Ze went to Dengzhou to take office, but it was recommended by the crown prince Zhao Huan. Moreover, Zong Zezhong is loyal and courageous, and Li Qi is also afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble.

In fact, he has always felt that this expedition is against the sky, because your country has just suffered a catastrophe, the country is in chaos, and there are heavy losses, it is impossible to support hundreds of thousands of troops to go on the expedition, recover the lost land in the north, and eliminate the living force of the Jin army, it is already the limit, if you can take Yunzhou, of course, it is the best, but if you can't take it, then there is no way.

Moreover, the Jin State is now very strong, especially in the military aspect, and they are very stable internally, which can support them to fight.

However, the seed master Dao also knew that Li Qi sent troops this time, and there was another purpose, that is, Zhao Kai, and said: "Although there is some truth in what the Zong Governor said, if we continue the Northern Expedition, then the Jin soldiers may also send troops to the northwest again, and there is also a Western Xia in the northwest, I am afraid that the division and the generals may not be able to resist it, I think we should still focus our strategy on the Yanyun region." ”

Li Qi hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, what the seed lord said is very reasonable." ”

When Zong Ze heard this, he felt that it was right, in case the Jin army resorted to the tactics of encircling Wei to save Zhao, there would be too many variables, after all, the cavalry of the Jin army came and went quickly, and a wide range of battles would put their side in a predicament, which had to be guarded, and the further you farther you farther you fought, the more Jin soldiers you will encounter, and you will be able to defend those towns, so you have to be able to defend it, and asked: "Then I don't know what the seed prince means?" ”

This is not a simple march and battle, there are too many factors in it, it is too complicated. The seed master Dao was also uncertain, and couldn't help but look at Li Qi and said, "Li Qi, you are the commander, and you have to make up your mind." ”

Li Qi groaned for a while, exhaled lightly, and said: "I think we should try our best to control the battlefield within the Yanyun area, and strive to recover Yunzhou, Ulzhou and other places, and at the last time, we must maintain the pre-war state." ”

He said that it was to maintain the state quo before the war, but everyone understood that Li Qi was saying that if it was really impossible to fight, it would still have to negotiate peace, otherwise the two countries would still be at war, and how to maintain it.

Yang Zaisheng stood up and said, "Bu Shuai, you don't want to negotiate peace, do you?" ”

Yue Fei, Wu Jue and the others also looked at Li Qi with a strange look. They are military generals, and of course they want to fight.

This group of guys is really inappropriate, I don't know how expensive this oil, rice, firewood and salt are. Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think this battle is to see who has more people and who is stronger?" When the war reaches this scale, what is fighting is national strength, do you think these hundreds of thousands of people should not eat, where did this food come from, not from the people, do you know how much burden we have to bring to the people when we go out, please, don't always think about killing people, think more about the overall situation, why the Tang Dynasty collapsed in the first place, it was because of the war that it was defeated. The country of gold is different, everything in their country is cheap now. There are more slaves than the common people, and they can afford it, but we can't afford it. ”

Yang Zaixing was reprimanded by Li Qi, immediately withered, and sat down honestly.

Zong Ze nodded and said: "What Ming Guogong said is very reasonable, Fang Cai Zong has not considered it, although we have surrounded and annihilated the main force of Yan Zongwang. But for the Jin Kingdom, it is not fatal, and it is not even a big loss, on the other hand, our Great Song Dynasty has suffered heavy losses due to this war, and the lives of the people have been devastated. The people are not living, and the Hebei region is now empty, if it continues to fight for a long time, I am afraid that my Great Song Dynasty will also be dragged down because of this. ”

This is actually a very simple truth, the Jin country sent troops, that is, the poor fought the rich, and their soldiers plundered everywhere. You can go back with a lot of wealth from the Great Song Dynasty, but you go to the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom is now poor to death, most of them are slaves, and even the emperor has to go down to the river to bathe, and the robbery back is not enough to compensate for the consumption of one percent.

Moreover, today's imperial court is poor and clanging, and the Hebei region may have to let the imperial court allocate money. Jiangnan has not been restored, you hundreds of thousands of people are here, the court can't give food, not only from the people to ask for it, you fight for one more day, you don't know how many people will starve to death, and the population will drop sharply. Whether it's agriculture or commerce, it will be affected, and its losses will be multiplied, and you will win the war. lest the people starve to death.

Moreover, with the current strength of the Song Dynasty, it is impossible for this army to destroy the Jin State, and even if it is a partial victory, it is not necessary to negotiate peace in the end.

Yue Fei also understood this, and frowned: "But it's not for us to have the final say, and we have to agree to the Jin Kingdom, just with the greed of the Jin people, I think they must be lions opening their mouths again." ”

The rest of the generals also nodded one after another, this thing is really not easy to do.

Li Qi said with a smile: "We know our own reality, but the Jin Kingdom doesn't know, in the eyes of the Jurchens, our Great Song Dynasty seems to have endless food and money, but I know the reality of the Jin Kingdom, they have been hindered a lot by sending troops this time, these people are rich people in their country, the founding of the country, these people have been rich, they don't really want to fight, but Wanyan Zongwang forcibly made them submit, if this time the army wins, then everything is easy to say, but if there is no gain, And if they suffer heavy losses, then they will definitely not live in peace in the country. ”

The planter said, "In this case, you are still preparedβ€”β€”? ”

"Hit! To continue to fight and fight according to the strategic policy we originally formulated, we must control the initiative in the Yanyun region, which is the main purpose of our trip, and it will not change from beginning to end. ”

Li Qi said: "We must play the prestige of our Great Song Army, force them to constantly transfer troops, drag their main force in the Yanyun area, to fight a war of attrition with us, without giving them any time to breathe, we have to put on an attitude of smashing them with money, they don't know our situation, but they will know their situation very well, the Jin Kingdom has just been established, it is said that the palace is not as good as our prefect's mansion, and money is needed in many aspects, this large-scale war of attrition, and there is no gain." , they won't be able to hold on for long, and when they can't afford it anymore, the battle will naturally be forced to stop. ”

Seed Master Dao very much agreed with Li Qi's statement, and said, "Are you sure? ”

The corners of Li Qi's mouth raised, and said: "In this war, the loss of the Jin Kingdom is not small, although Wanyan Zongwang fled to Yunzhou, but there are no soldiers around him, he must mobilize men and horses, now the men and horses in Yunzhou are more than enough to defend, but if you attack, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it, and the weather is gradually getting warmer, as we all know, the Jurchens are very unsuitable for fighting in the hot summer, this is our opportunity, when both sides can not afford it, negotiation is the only means to solve the problem, as long as they compete with me at the negotiating table, That's when we have the initiative. ”

"Hmm. That's all I have to do now. Seed Master Dao nodded, and said: "However, we can't be too desperate, we must first consolidate the defense of Yanshan Mansion, I estimate that the Jin army will definitely find ways to capture Yanshan Mansion, so we must take advantage of the moment to consolidate the six states of Yanshan Mansion, and we must not lose it again." ”

Li Qi smiled at Zong Ze and said, "It's up to the Zong Governor's Mansion." ”

Zong Ze arched his hand and said: "Please rest assured, Zong will definitely not let Yanshan Mansion lose." ”
