And Qin Hui even rushed to say:

"Holy Lord, by all means, this move is tantamount to playing with fire*, and it can put me in a crisis, my Southern Song Dynasty has only been stable for a short time, even if the Jin Kingdom can't fight with my Great Song Dynasty for a long time in this cold winter, it will definitely be deadlocked, once it enters the beginning of spring, then my Great Song Dynasty is in danger!

What's more, the guards from the front reported that the envoys of the Jin State had crossed the Yangtze River and were ready to strengthen peace negotiations with our Southern Song Dynasty and firmly establish mutual non-aggression between the two countries. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhao Gou frowned deeply, and it was difficult to make a decision, because the situation was really confusing, and what the civil and military generals said was reasonable, which made it even more difficult to choose.

Attack, the gain is very huge, but the danger is also great, once it is unsuccessful, it is a complete break with the Jin country.

If you don't attack, although you can ensure stability, but if the Jin State completely occupies and digests the northern land, then the Southern Song Dynasty is even more dangerous.

A group of civil servants immediately echoed, expressing their opinions one after another, and even more, they found a military general to insult them, and for a while, above the court, chaotic and coaxing, civil ministers and military generals, each holding one side, had their own reasons.

And Zhao Gou was also tired of hearing this, and suddenly waved his hand and shouted:

"What kind of system?!

It's all quiet!"

A group of civil servants and military generals immediately died down, and one by one they honestly knelt on the ground, silent.

"Retire today, this matter will be discussed later!"

Zhao Gou suddenly waved his hand impatiently, then got up, put his hands behind his back, and went to the harem.

The eunuch immediately shouted sharply:

"Retreat!"

"Congratulations to the Holy One!"

The ministers immediately said in unison, and then slowly retreated in groups of three or five.

In the harem, Zhao Gou looked at a map on the wall with deep brows and was silent.

At this time, a eunuch walked in and reported:

"Holy Lord, the prime minister asks to see!"

"Let him in. ”

Zhao Gou will be affected lightly.

The eunuch immediately bowed respectfully and said:

"Yes, Holy One. ”

After a while, the eunuch came in with Qin Hui, and then retreated, Qin Hui bowed deeply to Zhao Gou and said:

"Wechen see the saint. ”

Zhao Gou turned around and suddenly asked softly:

"What is Qin Aiqing doing here?"

"Holy Lord, the minister has come today to bring good news. ”

Qin Hui immediately said respectfully, then took out a volume of peace and discussion from his sleeve robe, spread it on the table, and then retreated, and whispered to Zhao Gou:

"Holy Ones, please see. ”

"Hmmm......"

Zhao Gou looked at the paperwork, his brows gradually relaxed, and he nodded slowly.

Qin Hui explained in a timely manner:

"Holy Lord, before that, the Jin Kingdom had already rushed to bring the envoys to come, and after crossing the Yangtze River, he went to my Great Song Capital non-stop.

This is a copy of the peace that they sent down at the beginning, in order to appease the Holy Heart. ”

"How true is what this book says?"

Zhao Gou suddenly asked slowly.

"Returning to the Holy Lord, according to his subordinates, this is the beginning of winter, and news comes from the north.

For some reason, the granaries of various towns and cities have been stolen by unknown people, and the grain and grass have long been very empty.

If the Jin State attacks on a large scale, it will definitely be difficult to supply grain and grass.

The purpose of Jin's trip was only to defeat the rebels, who were very bold in their banner and openly rebelled against Jin, which was not tolerated by Jin.

Therefore, the Jin Kingdom decided to march in a big way and crush these people with the power of thunder.

However, whether it succeeds in the end or not, the north must have hated the Jin State extremely much, and the Jin State is no longer profitable, let alone control the forces of the Pseudo-Qi.

Previously, in order to abolish the pseudo-Qi, it was because the northern region had no use value for the Jin country, and the most important thing for the Jin country now is cultivation.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to control the original land of the Liao State and suppress the forces of the northern grasslands.

Therefore, once the Jin State wins, it will definitely withdraw its troops, and will not choose to camp on Nanjing Road, so that Nanjing Road will also become a terra nullius, and it will not be easy for us to recover Nanjing.

Jin Guo was also worried that the Southern Song Dynasty would send troops to the two countries, which would put the two countries in a situation of endless war, greatly weaken the national strength of both sides, and make the two countries fundamentally shaken. ”

Qin Hui analyzed in simple terms, and Zhao Gou couldn't help but agree, as Qin Hui said.

The Southern Song Dynasty's recovery of the lost territory in the north has become a foregone conclusion, and the Jin State is not without the strength to control Nanjing Road.

But in that case, there is too much land under control to digest it at once, and it is now in the cold winter season, the autumn harvest has long passed, and the north is facing a situation of no grain and grass.

If the north is controlled, then it will be difficult to solve the problem of feeding the people, let alone other problems, and once the people cannot survive, riots and other events will occur.

Then coupled with the fact that these people hate Jin Guo, then this is simply a mess, more like a bottomless pit, Jin Guo does not dare to take down these lands now, and is even more worried about falling into the mud.

And the reason why the Jin State made peace and gave the northern region to the Southern Song Dynasty was because they believed that the theft of the granary and armory in the northern town must be related to Liu Renshan.

Look at Liu Renshan's wanton collection of displaced people and wantonly equipping the army, where did these things come from, the materials of the three towns plus the surrounding towns have long been at their limit.

However, there were constantly displaced people in the north rushing to these three cities, and Liu Renshan accepted them all, and ensured the food and shelter of these people.

This is very revealing, even if Liu Renshan has nothing to do with that matter, Liu Renshan must have a lot of resources in his hands.

This is enough, because of Nanjing Road, I am afraid that only Liu Renshan is so wealthy.

Then, Jin Guo plans to do this vote, not only to defeat the people who oppose him, strengthen the momentum of Jin Guo, show the strength of Jin Guo, but also make a profit, and completely kick this mess to the Southern Song Dynasty.

Didn't the Southern Song Dynasty always think about recovering the lost territory, and when they occupied the northern region, they would definitely find that there was a shortage of grain and grass in the north, and if they wanted to master the northern region as soon as possible, they could only sacrifice their national strength to stabilize the northern power.

If the control is not good, and the people in the north are dissatisfied, which makes the situation even more unstable, then the Jin State will have the opportunity to attack, and leave after the fight is over.

In this way, the Jin State is only afraid that it will continue to grow and the Southern Song Dynasty will continue to weaken, in that case, the Southern Song Dynasty will face a problem, in the end, should you give up the northern region? !

After all, it is difficult to support the national strength.

And Jin Guo didn't know that at this time, grain had begun to appear in small scattered areas such as small villages and towns around Nanjing Road, and grain continued to appear in these areas.

Liu Renshan took this opportunity to gather the hearts of the people, constantly gathered the hearts of the people in the north, and began to prepare for battles such as tunnel warfare and sparrow warfare.

And on this day, it is also the time for the Jin State to send troops, Wan Yanchang has gathered a set of equipment in Kaifeng, and the grain and grass are enough to support the 100,000 army for more than ten days, and the follow-up grain and grass are also being transported in a steady stream.

Wan Yanchang left his 30,000 iron cavalry and three generals to guard Kaifeng and be responsible for food and grass and other things to ensure logistics.

Then Wan Yanchang took his 70,000 troops, 40,000 iron cavalry and then 30,000 fully replenished gold soldiers with a pair of equipment, grain and grass and other materials to the south, all the way through Wei's family, crossed the Qu River, and then divided the troops into three routes, all the way 10,000 iron cavalry settled in Xutian Town, monitoring the movement of Yanling.

All the way to the side of the river on the edge of Changge and Xuchang, and Xutian Town became a horn to monitor Changge.

The remaining 50,000 troops were directly aimed at Xuchang and camped ten miles away from Xuchang City.

At this time, it was nearly half of the night, and the soldiers were also very tired, Wan Yanchang ordered the whole army to rest and prepare to attack the city tomorrow.

Then, a group of soldiers began to make a fire to cook, and took water from the river in front of Xuchang to boil and drink.

Night began to fall, Wan Yanchang sat in the village, but he was a little uneasy in his heart.

"General, no, our soldiers are poisoned. ”

Wan Yanchang sighed in his heart, and immediately grabbed the soldier's collar and asked:

"Say, what the hell is going on?"

The soldier was immediately shocked and said:

"General, subordinates, subordinates don't know, it's just that about half an hour ago, a group of soldiers were still making fires and cooking, and then people began to fall to the ground.

In just a quarter of an hour, thousands of soldiers fell to the ground. ”

After Yan Chang suddenly let go of the subordinate with a sinking face, and said in a deep voice:

"Take General Ben to find out, go and bring the general in charge of this matter, and General Ben will personally ask what is going on. ”

"Yes, General!"

The soldier hurriedly ran out, took Wan Yanchang to the camp of the poisoned soldiers, and immediately called the general in charge of the food.

Subsequently, several generals and several military doctors also arrived, kneeling respectfully in front of Wan Yanchang.

"Say, what the hell is going on, how did they get poisoned?!"

"General, my subordinates have found out that it is because of the water problem.

After the soldiers drank the water that had been supplied by the Qushui and the river in front of us, they collapsed on the ground after half an hour, unable to fight again.

Some of the soldiers drank water from the water we had prepared ourselves from Kaifeng, but there was no problem.

According to the investigation of the military doctors, the water in these two water sources does not show any signs of poison, and our grain and grass are also non-toxic. ”

When Yan Chang heard this, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he immediately pointed to those military doctors and said:

"Can you find out what kind of poison it is, and is there any chance of saving it?"

Several military doctors immediately collapsed to the ground, and said with a worried face:

"General Hui, this poison is very peculiar, we have never heard of it, we only know that we have been poisoned and have no worries about our lives.

But the poison was hidden deep in the water, and the water of both rivers was unusable, and once it was used, the soldiers would be limb and unable to go into battle. ”

"Hmph, it's so useless, what's the use of General Ben leaving you?!

Come on, drag these people out to General Ben and behead them!"

Wan Yanchang immediately pointed to a military medical officer and the officers who were in charge of the arrangement of grain and grass and shouted, and suddenly, several big men with big knives appeared in the barracks.

"General, spare your life, general, spare your life......"

Those big men couldn't help but pull people away, ignoring their hardships and begging for mercy, and the remaining military doctors suddenly collapsed on the ground.

"Ahh

A few screams came, and the bodies of these military doctors suddenly trembled like chaff, and they were immediately frightened, and they even knelt on the ground, kowtowing constantly.

Wan Yanchang couldn't bear these people at all, smelling the peculiar smell, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he suddenly snorted coldly:

"Hmph, General Ben has given you five days, if you can't find a solution, then you don't have to live. ”
