Chapter 766

According to Ding Haijun's previously established plan, it was to infiltrate the Song State with huge commercial interests, instigate the new army prepared by Shi Miyuan to entangle and fight fiercely with the soldiers and horses of the Kaifeng court, and at the same time use this large-scale infiltration itself as a threat. Come forward and push Shi Miyuan to change course and stand on the side of Zhongdu court.

The reason why such a plan was made was because Guo Ning, Yelu Chucai and others saw it clearly.That is, after a hundred years of fighting with the big gold, the state of song has also gone downhill.

The decay of the Song Dynasty court was just like the decay of the Jin Dynasty court.A power minister like Shi Miyuan actually has no political ideas, let alone a real strategy for governing the country. What drives him and his team to continuously grab power is just to stabilize their own political position and obtain economic benefits to enrich themselves.

And for this purpose, Shi Miyuan can do this today, and he can do that tomorrow.In fact, they have everything from north to south, east to west, as long as they satisfy their greedy appetites.In comparison, the situation in the north and the long-term diplomacy with the Kingdom of Jin are nothing; even the turmoil caused by the sudden change of policy between the DPRK and China is nothing.

But the real problem is that it actually exists.

Guo Ning's staff are very sure that ever since Dajin Taihe defeated Song Dynasty and forced out the heads of the ruling ministers, the court of Song Dynasty has been full of fear and dislike of war. Occasionally, some strong advocates for the north, or lack of political sensitivity The stunned young people are either a small number of people who are regarded as just in case by the rulers, and they are left in the local area for a long time instead of the central government.

Therefore, once Shi Miyuan came to change course, chaos would be inevitable.

And the state of Song in chaos... well, let alone the State of Song in chaos, even the State of Song with a stable government may not be able to intervene in Kaifeng!If the Song people had such abilities, they should never have lost Kaifeng back then, and the vast Central Plains should never have fallen into the hands of the Jurchens!

Guo Ning and his staff are so convinced.

But if the military newspaper that the scouts robbed is not wrong... then Guo Ning and his staff are wrong.Although their plan was comprehensive, they underestimated Song Guo.

No matter how corrupt Song State is, it has the confidence to be able to fight against Da Jin for a hundred years!
Guo Ning stared at the map covetously. While recalling the few words in the military newspaper, he confirmed it with the topography of Tang, Deng and other military states in the lower left corner of the map, as well as the distance and twists and turns of the roads.

The Kaifeng Jin army first went south, and the battlefields in the west of Beijing were in Zaoyang and Suizhou.This area is more than 60 miles away from Shandong East Road controlled by Dinghailing, and there are more than [-] post roads, separated by rivers and rivers, and the entire Nanjing Road controlled by the Kaifeng court runs across, so Dinghailing I don't know much about the development of the war in that area.

The last time I got the news was that the various ministries of the Song Army and the Kaifeng Jin Army were in a criss-cross pattern, each claiming that it had killed thousands or even tens of thousands of the enemy's troops, captured the heads of certain generals, captured several fortresses, and then Each of them is constantly adding troops to the front line.

However, combined with the military newspaper, it is very interesting to think about it carefully.

How long has Li Yun been in Lin'an to reveal his identity to promote Shi Miyuan's decision?
And how long will it take for this news to spread from Lin'an to the ears of Zhao Fang, the envoy of the Jinghu system?
No matter how elite the troops led by Zhao Fang were, how long would it take to gain the upper hand from the front line of Zaoyang, and then push back to the territory of the Kingdom of Jin, to conquer Yancheng, and threaten Xuzhou and Caizhou?

Guo Ning said in a deep voice: "Song Jun's appearance, in my opinion, represents three things."

"I would like to hear from my lord."

"First of all, it was Shi Miyuan's decision. This powerful minister of the Song Dynasty must have unified the opinions of his own political forces at the first time, and then subdued the court, and changed the national policy of the Song Dynasty from peace to war."

"Secondly, no matter how fast the soldiers and horses on the Northwest Road of Song Guojing moved, it was impossible for them to reach the hinterland of Henan so soon after receiving the emperor's will. This Zhao Fang was led by civil servants, not that Grandpa Yue of the Southern Dynasty! The only explanation It’s Wanyan Ye, but this guy has probably been lying about the military situation, pretending that his side has won, but in fact, the Song army has already pushed the front line back to the territory of the Jin Kingdom.”

Peng Yibin couldn't help scolding: "Wanyan Yeke was suppressing thieves in the early years. Every time he caught a so-called thief, he wanted to set him on fire. Because of his cruelty and tyranny, he got the name of "Wanyan Yeke". Now It seems that this guy is not only a fool, but also a fool!"

Guo Ning nodded slightly, and continued: "The third thing is that although the government of the Song Dynasty is corrupt, there are still local officials who dare to take responsibility, generals who are familiar with military plans, and soldiers who dare to fight tough battles. What Zhao Fang said With 2 troops, they fought from Zaoyang to the territory of Xuzhou, during which they had to take down several fortified cities and break down the camps of many garrisons, their combat effectiveness is extraordinary."

All the generals were waiting to nod, Yin Chang said: "Master, there is a fourth thing."

"speak."

"The Song army fought from Zaoyang to Yancheng, and continued to fight all the way. It took a full journey of six hundred miles. They needed the support of food, fodder, and supplies, and they needed folks and township guides. These had to be raised on the spot in a short time. Easy. Therefore, it shows that there are many people who cherish their homeland on Nanjing Road.”

Guo Ning narrowed his eyes, looked at the map again, and nodded: "Yes, it should be so. Continue to think about it..."

Song people's actions are understandable.Although the State of Song was in decline, it was still stronger than the tragic situation of the State of Jin in the past two years of fighting all day long and covering the fields with bones; , is much stronger.

Previously, Zhongdu and Kaifeng divided the territory of Dajin equally. Because of the inertia of fear of fighting in the past, the people of Song subconsciously tried to please both sides at the same time, using diplomatic and economic means to achieve a balance in the north dominated by Song.

However, with the sudden dispatch of Guo Ning's navy, the weakness of the Kaifeng court was undoubtedly revealed.Then the Song people's desire to return to the old capital surpassed their fear of war, and they became bold.

In the direction of Huainan, where the Dinghai was facing, the Song people might not dare to move, but the Dinghai could not prevent them from sending troops from the west of Beijing to try.

"Wanyan Yeke, Wanyan Saibu, and the Kaifeng Thirteenth Commandant's Division all suffered heavy losses in the fight with the Song people. This is a good thing for us. But..."

Guo Ning looked around again, and said with a smile: "I don't know what Li Yun said in the Song Dynasty, it really whetted the appetite of the Song people! Seeing the Song Army's posture, this is to show off its skills and plan to intervene in Kaifeng , to restore the old capital!"

Han Xuan shook his head: "This Song army is quite courageous, but they can't match the power of our army. Whatever they want, let's break it with strength!"

Yin Chang pondered: "No, no, the Song Army is our ally now, and the two sides are inextricably cooperating. How can we exert our strength? This is not a matter of fighting on the battlefield! The key is that since the Song Army has intervened in the surrounding area of ​​Kaifeng , the original two parties have become three parties, and the situation we are facing has a new variable..."

Those who can participate in the negotiation of such military aircraft are shrewd and capable people.Over the years, they have been in charge of a party's military and government since they were young soldiers. As their horizons and insights continue to broaden, their judgments have become more acute.When Yin Chang said this, everyone suddenly realized.

As soon as Han Xuan patted the table, the four treasures of the study on the table jumped wildly: "The people in charge in Kaifeng are very courageous, and they can really get out! This Song army is Kaifeng's backer!"

"That's right! That's right!"

Guo Zhongyuan nodded again and again: "Our military has spent so much effort, and the goal is Kaifeng. We will never let go. However, Shi Miyuan of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty suddenly changed from the main peace to the main battle. He must spend huge political resources. For him He said that he must get enough rewards. The reward he hopes for is probably Nanjing Road, Kaifeng Mansion!"

"Since this Song army has arrived in Yancheng, whether it is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, or to take chestnuts from the fire, as long as they are present, they will be used by the Kaifeng side. The Kaifeng court controls Kaifeng City for a day, and there are rare goods to live in. , it can be sold for a price! And we and the people of Song Dynasty are all wary!"
