Zhao Gou is the prince of the Song Dynasty, and he is very cowardly!
But not every prince of the Song Dynasty was as cowardly as Zhao Gou!
The three marshals who had just returned from the front, Du Marshal Wanyan Gao, Left Deputy Marshal Wanyan Zonghan, and Right Deputy Marshal Wanyan Yanmu, knew that the Song Dynasty also had princes who were not too timid, such as Zhao Kai, who had already proclaimed himself emperor. My son is not a coward, not only is he not a coward but he is also extremely brave, no less than any other man from the Wanyan family!
As for Zhao Huan, who ran away so fast and fled to the south of the Yangtze River in a flash, he and the Zhao Gou in front of him were "cowardly brothers and cowardly brothers", and it seemed that they were unlikely to get along.
It is hard to say whether Zhao Ji's other sons followed Zhao Huan, Zhao Gou, or Zhao Kai.
But even if there is only one Zhao Kai, this Song Dynasty...oh, these two Song Dynasties are not easy to destroy!
"Emperor, you are right, we must destroy the Song Dynasty!" Deputy Marshal Zuo Wanyan Zonghan has already expressed his support for Emperor Wanyan Wu Qibu. He is not only a deputy marshal, but also the most powerful person in the Kingdom of Jin. strong.
Although the Kingdom of Jin had an emperor at this time, it still implemented the Bojilie collegial system, that is, there were four or five Bojilie who discussed matters together. The status of the Dajin Emperor is equivalent to that of Bo Jilie - before Aguda proclaimed himself emperor, the Dajin Emperor was Du Bojilie. After becoming emperor, although Bo Jilie became the emperor, the other Bo Jilie were still there.
There are Zhuanbojilie, Hulubojilie, Yilaibojilie, Yishibojilie, Amaibojilie, Zhahubojilie, Diebojilie and so on. However, not all of these Bojilie are permanent. Only the two Bojilie, Zhuban Bojilie and Hu Lubojilie, are permanent.
Among them, Bo Jilie, the heir to the throne, is currently appointed by Wanyan Gao (Xie Ye), Aguda's fifth brother. Hu Lubo Jilie was equivalent to the prime minister of the country, and he was appointed by Wanyan Zongqian (Oben), the eldest son of Aguda's concubine. And the title of Yi Lai Bo Ji Lie held by Zong Han means the third Bo Ji Lie, which shows that his status in the court is second only to Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zongqian, which is quite prominent!
In addition to these three Bojilie, the current Jin Kingdom also has a Diebojilie Wanyan Oru, thus forming a situation where four Bojilie and one emperor co-govern.
However, this Wanyan Oru is not in Huining now, but is in charge of the southwest and northwest routes, and is leading the troops to defend Xixia and Yelu Dashi.
Therefore, now there are only three people, including Wanyan Gao, Wanyan Zongqian, and Wanyan Zonghan, who are qualified to discuss government affairs with Wanyan Wu.
Wanyan Zonghan glanced at Wanyan Gao, who was sitting across from him, and said, "But there are two Song kingdoms. Should we divide them in order and destroy one first and then the other?"
Wanyan Gao, the well-versed Bojilie and marshal of the capital, understood what Wanyan Zonghan was planning?
Wanyan Zonghan has now helped his subordinates to make enough money, so he wants them to work hard to avenge his son She Yema!
Of course Wanyan Gao can't block Zong Han's path to revenge - unless he wants to be like Wanyan Wu in the future, who was caught by a few Bo Jilie just because he secretly took money from the treasury to spend it. Stop spanking!
This is not a question of buttocks or misappropriation of public funds, but a question of whether Bo Jilie is bigger or the emperor... And Wanyan Zonghan is the most arrogant and powerful among the four Bo Jilie. A strong erection. At the same time, he was the grandson of Aguda's uncle, Xian Zhe. According to the succession rules of the Jurchen leader, he could not inherit the throne, so Wanyan Gao had to win over Zong Han.
"Nianhan is right!" Wanyan Gao nodded, "The two Song kingdoms cannot be destroyed at the same time... The Song Dynasty in the south is in danger of the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River, and we have no navy. Moreover, Zhao Huan has Hiding in the miasmatic place of Jinling where the summer heat is as hot as a stove, it’s not easy to extinguish!”
The Jin soldiers are all Jurchens and Bohai people who come from the white mountains and black waters. They are definitely afraid of heat, so every hot season, their combat effectiveness on the southern battlefield will decrease.
Moreover, there are relatively few epidemics in the Jurchens' hometowns, so places like the Central Plains and Jiangnan are places of miasma for the Jurchens... Just one smallpox can kill many people!
Wanyan Gao continued: "How about we destroy the Song Dynasty in the west first? The Song Dynasty in the west still occupies the land east of the river and poses a threat to our Nanjing Road and Xijing Road. If we don't destroy it, we can't even sleep. We can’t even live in peace!”
Hu Lubo Jilie Wanyan Zongqian was the eldest brother of Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan and others. With the support of a group of old subordinates passed down by Aguda, he had the strength to aspire to the throne.
Of course he didn't want to offend Zong Han - and Shi Yema's death was ultimately related to Zong Wang and Zong Bi.
Therefore, Zong Qian also chose to support Zong Han and said solemnly: "Zhao Kai seems to be good at military strategy, and he also occupies two areas of power in Hedong and Shaanxi. He should indeed be eradicated as soon as possible!"
This was what Wanyan Zonghan was waiting for, and he immediately took up the topic, "Your Majesty, what I mean is that there is no need to consider Zhao Huan at all, gather the southern and northern armies, and fight westward together!
The North Route Army (original East Route Army) attacked from Hebei and Yunzhong to attack Taiyuan!
We will lead the South Route Army to send troops from Jingdong Road to open Fengfu and Jingxi Road! "
Wanyan Zongqian added: "You can also ask the Xia Kingdom to send troops to attack Fulin Road... to attract the soldiers and horses of the Zhe family to return for reinforcements, so that the front lines of Taiyuan and Daizhou will be empty."
Wanyan Gao smiled and said: "That's the general strategy. The specific method of fighting will be decided by the two deputy marshals on the fly!"
The three Bojilie unanimously agreed, and Wanyan Wu's begging proposal became Daikin's national policy!
When Wu Qimai thought that he had the opportunity to rule the world and become the true master of the world... he would never be spanked again for spending money from the treasury, his mood immediately improved, and when he saw that he was still kneeling Zhao Gou, who was begging for mercy there, pointed at him and asked: "What should we do with this coward prince of the Song Dynasty? Should we return him to Jinling to appease Zhao Huan?"
"No!" Wanyan Zonghan shook his head, "This man has heard us discussing the attack on the Song Dynasty. If he goes to Jinling, he will definitely tell Zhao Huan, and then Zhao Huan will join forces with Zhao Kai."
Zhao Gou heard this, he didn't understand the Jurchen dialect at all...but he must be on guard against others!
"Then what should we do with him?" Wu Qimai asked.
"Kill Ji Qi!" Wanyan Zonghan was annoyed when he saw Zhao Gou... He was tall and strong, and looked like Zhao Kai.
Zhao Gou didn't know what Wanyan Zonghan said, but when he heard the tone of his voice, he knew he had bad intentions!
So he hurriedly said to Wanyan Wu, "Your Majesty, I am willing to pay a large sum of money, but I don't want to go to the south of the Yangtze River... I am willing to live in the north forever and be a servant of the Jurchens for the rest of my life!"
Wu Qimai didn't understand Chinese, so he asked Pharmacist Guo, "What did Zhao Gou say?"
Pharmacist Guo said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Gou said: If you are happy here, don't think about the Song Dynasty."
Wu Qiqiu smiled mischievously: "Can this kid understand some Jurchen words?"
Pharmacist Guo said: "Xu knows something. He went to Zhongshan Mansion with Zhao Liangsi."
Zhao Liangsi and Qin Hui were released together, but they did not appear in Jinling and were missing.
"It's no wonder..." Wu Qimai thought for a moment, "Then we can't let him go!" He looked at Zhao Gou, whose face was full of tears, and said with a smile, "Since you think Huining is very Okay, then stay in Huining from now on... I will accept you as my adopted son and give you the surname Wanyan, and from now on you will be Wanyan!"
Zhao Gou didn't understand what Wu Qimai meant, but looking at his expression, it seemed that he didn't want to kill him, so he turned back to look at Guo Yaoshi.
Pharmacist Guo smiled and said: "Prince Kang, I am so happy!"
Overjoyed?
The cool breeze whizzed behind Zhao Gou's neck!
"The emperor has said that he will accept you as his godson and give you the surname Wanyan. From now on, you will be Wanyan! Why don't you kowtow to express gratitude?"
What a great joy indeed!
An emperor's father just died, and a new emperor's father was gained. This blessing has only been shared by Zhao Gou throughout the ages, right?
...
When Zhao Gou got a new father and became Wan Yan Gou, his good brother Zhao Kai had just finished drinking the wedding wine of his sister Zhao Duofu - unfortunately the brother-in-law was not Yue Fei, but Li Yongqi's son Li Fuchen.
What a loss!
Although Li Yongqi was also the best among the five generals of Shaanxi Province, he was also appointed as the pacifier and general manager of Chang'an Road (formerly Yongxing Military Road), responsible for assisting King Lingwu to stay in Zhao Zhen in Chang'an.
Moreover, he also gathered 200 cavalry for his son and asked his son to take these 200 cavalry to serve Zhao Kai.
But one Li Fuchen and 200 cavalry are not as good as half Yue Fei!
Still a loss!
Fortunately, Yue Fei and Zhao Kai are still good brothers... If they can't be uncles, they can still be brothers!
So Zhao Kai, who returned to Lingquan Palace after drinking his sister's wedding wine, immediately called a group of his brothers and spread out a map of the situation in Hedong, Hebei, Jingxi, Gyeonggi and Jingxi East Road on the In front of a group of brothers.
"The Privy Council has drawn up a rough strategy. Come and give me the details." Zhao Kai stretched out his finger and pointed on the map. "The Privy Council's idea is to follow the example of the Chu-Han War, from Guangwu Mountain to Kaifeng Mansion. The straight line is the right one, the east of the river is the strange one, the right one is the right one, the strange one is the victory... What do you think?"
"No, it's just talk on paper!" Yue Fei unceremoniously criticized the plan that Chen Ji had racked his brains to draw up.
"What?" Zhao Kai frowned, "Pengju, don't you think we should send troops from Hedong to attack behind enemy lines?"
Yue Fei said: "Brother, we don't have to come up with surprise troops. Winning by surprise is a matter of concentration. It is difficult to decide on a surprise strategy in advance... Now we still have to face the challenge in a down-to-earth manner and think of all the difficulties. Only in this way can we be invincible, and only by being invincible can we have the opportunity to produce surprise troops."
"How can I be undefeated?" Zhao Kai asked.
Yue Fei thought about it and said: "Brother, my brother has also been thinking about it these days and feels that there are three keys to being undefeated. First, Guangwu Mountain must be defended!
Second, we must have enough military rations... We must be prepared for a long time! "
Third, there must be an elite army that can move at any time...the number should preferably be more than 30,000, and this elite army cannot be easily put into combat, but must be used at the most critical time and place. "
