Zhao Shan was a little surprised when he received the news from Song Qingwen.
Zhao Shan let Xiao Li go and allowed Xiao Li to return to the Kingdom of Jin to deliver the message. He had already considered the situation where the Kingdom of Jin insisted on going to war with Daqian regardless of Wanyan Ming's life and death.
However, the news from Song Qingwen said that all the nobles and important officials of the Jin Kingdom, including Prince Wanyan Yu of the Jin Kingdom, including Prime Minister Xiao Li, Taiwei Yeluqing, and Tang Kuo'an, all agreed to start another war with Daqian.
This means that there is no support in the Jin Kingdom to pay for Wan Yanming's redemption.
It has to be said that Wan Yanming, the emperor, was somewhat of a failure.
He has been in power for more than ten years, but there is no direct lineage, no one who is really willing to save Yan Ming.
Zhao Shan thought carefully, and after having a general idea in his mind, he ordered people to call Fang Weihu, Zhang Xun and Li Buyi.
Zhao Shan talked about the situation that the Jin Kingdom was going to go to war, and continued: "The Jin Kingdom is going to go to war with us, which means there will be a big war next."
"It's November now, and it's already snowing in Yunzhong County. It's freezing cold, which is not conducive to fighting. Our soldiers are all wearing thick clothes. At least they have enough food and clothing, and there is plenty of food and grass."
"However, the Kingdom of Jin does not have this background."
"If we go to war in a heavy snowstorm, the losses of the Jin Kingdom will be even greater."
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "My preliminary estimate is that the troops will be mobilized from the Jin Kingdom and stationed in Yunzhong County southward. The final real confrontation will be at the beginning of spring, because after the beginning of spring, many people will have to farm. We have to deal with it, How should we arrange it? And what situations may arise, please feel free to talk about it.”
Li Buyi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, no matter when or where the Jin Kingdom starts the war, we will have the advantage and the Jin Kingdom will be at a disadvantage. The reason is very simple. Wanyan Ming is in our hands. During the war, Wanyan Ming will be in our hands." If you push it out, it will shock the Kingdom of Jin."
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "That's the truth, but it's too passive."
Li Buyi continued: "Currently, the Jin army has not moved south. We can only predict that the Jin army will go south. We cannot make specific plans based on the strength and direction of the Jin army."
Zhang Xun nodded and said: "General Li's analysis makes sense. At present, it is difficult to make a plan for the Jin Kingdom's troops going south because there is no idea. However, I have another idea."
Zhao Shan asked: "What's the idea?"
A flash of light flashed across Zhang Xun's eyes, and he said loudly: "I have always believed that those who offend me must be killed even if they go to heaven and on earth. The Jin Kingdom will continue to go to war with us, which means that the Jin Kingdom's local troops will be further depleted. null."
"Wanyan Ming went south and mobilized most of the standing troops of the Wanyan royal family. Although the Wanyan royal family can still mobilize troops, the foundation is not as strong as before. The next time we fight, the Wanyan royal family's military strength will be completely weakened. "
"Last time, the Jin Kingdom's various ministries did not mobilize many troops. If we start a full-scale war with Dagan again, more troops must be mobilized, which means that the various ministries have fewer troops."
"The land of Jin is empty."
"Even the area around the royal tent of the Jin Kingdom's imperial capital is empty."
Zhang Xun said in a loud voice: "The Kingdom of Jin can kill me, Daganlai, why can't Dagan kill me? Your Majesty will pretend that you don't know about the mobilization and deployment of the Jin Kingdom's troops, and wait for the Jin Kingdom in Yunzhong County. In addition, arrange a force to sneak around Go to the hinterland of the Kingdom of Jin and kill him to turn the world upside down."
"Wonderful!"
Li Buyi's eyes brightened after hearing this.
He is the commander-in-chief of the army, and everything in the army is arranged by him. Without this responsibility, Li Buyi would definitely go to the Kingdom of Jin to kill everyone.
This is really desirable.
Li Buyi said quickly: "Your Majesty, Governor Zhang's strategy is very clever. The Jin Kingdom will fight against the Jin Kingdom, and we will fight against ours. Who can't withstand it? Take advantage of this battle to further destroy the Jin Kingdom's effective forces, and finally force In the peace talks with the Jin Kingdom, more money and benefits were given. Fighting is not about how many people are killed, but how many benefits are obtained and how much the enemy is weakened."
Zhao Shan praised: "Zhang Qing's strategy is feasible and can be arranged."
Zhang Xundao: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Buyi took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, I will make arrangements next. First, I will arrange for people to find out the route to the north and prepare for the war."
Zhao Shan nodded and ordered: "Those who raid the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom should be handed over to Qin Wuji and given him a chance to practice."
Zhao Shanzai deliberately cultivates young people.
Qin Wuji has talent and ability, but if he wants to grow further, he must hone his skills.
In the current army, Wei Polu is already old, while Li Buyi is still in his prime. Further down, Wei Fengqing is Zhao Shan's woman, Zhou Huhou is brave but unintelligent, Yue Feipeng, Qin Zhong, and Qi Yuanjing are all good, but they are middle-aged.
There are too few people from the younger generation.
Qin Wuji is a suitable candidate.
Li Buyi ignored Zhao Shan's thoughts and immediately obeyed Zhao Shan's instructions.
Seeing that Fang Weihu didn't speak, Zhao Shan asked, "What is Fang Qing thinking about?"
Fang Weihu replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, I think this is a decisive battle with the Jin Kingdom. The Jin Kingdom dares to start a war, is there any other back-up plan? Wanyan Ming became a prisoner. Wanyan Zhou was also captured, Yelu Baoji were killed, and many generals of the Jin Kingdom became prisoners."
"It can be said that Wan Yan Ming's battle destroyed a lot of the foundation of the Jin Kingdom."
"But the Jin Kingdom still dares to fight to the death."
"In addition to the reason why we, the lions, are so open-minded, the Kingdom of Jin is not willing to give us money. I believe that at least the Kingdom of Jin should have more power before they dare to go to war with us."
Fang Weihu solemnly said: "Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning."
Zhao Shan thought carefully and continued: "Fang Qing has always been scheming. Where do you think the Jin Kingdom has the confidence to fight again?"
"Xiliang, Northern Wei!"
Fang Weihu gave a clear answer.
Li Buyi frowned and said, "It's unlikely. Both Xiliang and the Northern Wei Dynasty were beaten into obedience by His Majesty. The emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty lost his troops and generals in the battle in Youzhou and lost all face. In the end, he even married his own sister. As for the Western Wei Dynasty, Emperor Liang, I heard that he was beaten to the point of intimidation by His Majesty, and he is about to surrender to Da Qian."
Zhang Xun did not object or question like Li Buyi. His eyes lit up and he glanced at Fang Weihu in surprise and admiration.
He is worthy of the scheming Fang Weihu.
It's scary to think about it.
Zhang Xun added: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Fang mentioned is indeed a bit alarmist. But it is up to the people to plan things, and the worst case scenario must be considered on the battlefield. Otherwise, if it happens, it will be an immeasurable loss."
Zhao Shan also looked approving, nodded and said: "Zhang Qing is right, you must consider the worst case scenario when fighting a war. I also agree with Fang Qing's inference. Since Fang Qing has proposed such a strategy, what do you think? How to deal with it?”
Fang Weihu said calmly: "It's very simple, please enter the urn!"
