Heshi Lieliangbi truly felt that Wan Yanliang's southern expedition plan would be difficult to succeed.
It will even bring huge troubles to the country. There will be waves of people who oppose him. And if he insists on forcing the southern expedition, it will be difficult to achieve any good results.
So he was very worried.
"The mobilization of the whole country is a huge matter, and the attack on the Song Dynasty is even more important. How can your majesty settle it with just one word? I think this is wrong, prime minister, and I would like to advise your majesty."
"That's very good."
Pu Sanhu Tu nodded: "To be honest, the situation in Shandong is quite serious. If you say anything more, you will only get into trouble. I no longer dare to advise Your Majesty, so I ask the Minister to take more trouble."
Heshi Lieliangbi nodded.
"I will try my best."
After Pusan Hutu left, Heshi Lieliangbi locked himself in his study and wrote the memorial. After finishing the nearly 10,000-word memorial, it was already dark.
Heshi Lieliangbi felt that he could not wait but should take the initiative, so he took the initiative to find Wan Yanliang with his memorial.
When he got permission to see Wan Yanliang, it was already very late and Wan Yanliang was eating. When he learned that He Shi Lieliangbi was coming to see him, he summoned He Shi Lieliangbi while eating.
Heshi Lieliangbi handed the memorial he had written to Wanyanliang. Wanyanliang asked him to sit down, and he ate and read while holding his rice bowl.
After looking at it, Wan Yanliang put down the bowl in his hand, picked up He Shi Lieliangbi's memorial and read it carefully. By the time he finished reading, the rice in the bowl was cold, but Wan Yanliang had no intention of going any more. Eat the rest of the meal.
"Did you write this melodrama?"
"yes."
"Well written."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"But I can't accept it."
Wan Yanliang placed the memorial on the table and closed it.
"This...Your Majesty, why?"
Heshi Lieliangbi felt very surprised.
"Because we don't have that much time."
Wan Yanliang sighed and said: "The method you mentioned is very good and will definitely be effective, but you proposed that it will take ten years. In ten years, you will continue to harass and intimidate the Southern Kingdom, exhausting it, and finally concentrate the main force in one fell swoop. Break it.
This strategy is very good and makes sense, but I am no longer young. I don’t know if I can survive ten years from now, and I don’t know what changes will happen to the world in ten years. So I don’t think this strategy can work. adoption. "
Heshi Lieliangbi quickly made amends.
"Your Majesty, the ten years I mentioned is also an imaginary number, not a real number. It just means that it will take a few more years to constantly harass the southern border, making them unable to live in peace and exhaustion. They have exhausted the last bit of strength from the country to their home, and they will never be able to live again. It cannot compete with our country.
This will of course take many years, but if it is executed well, it may not even take ten years to defeat the Southern Kingdom in one fell swoop. Your Majesty is in your prime and in good health, so how can you say such depressing words? I think it’s impossible! "
Wan Yanliang waved his hand to signal He Shi Lieliangbi to calm down.
"Liang Bi, you think too simply. This tactic is of course good and saves trouble, but you also have to consider whether the overall situation allows us to safely use such long-term tactics. If not, no matter how good the tactics are, they will be a hindrance.
Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer veterans from the founding of the People's Republic of China, and fewer and fewer old people who are familiar with battle formations. Newcomers are full of energy, but weak in will. They like to write and write, don't like to wield swords and guns, and they don't like riding, archery, and battle formations anymore. Elite in the past.
Ten years from now, the Southern Kingdom may have exhausted its national strength, but won’t the army of the Great Jin Kingdom become even more problematic than it is now? The Southern Kingdom is changing, and so are we. We are not static. Maybe I die, or maybe the last general dies too. When the time comes, who will lead the army? "
Heshi Lieliangbi was very anxious.
"Your Majesty, why do you need to worry about the death of old ministers and generals? Every dynasty has its famous ministers and generals. They are born endlessly, from generation to generation. Veteran ministers and generals are getting old. Birth, aging, sickness and death are the principles of the cycle of heaven and earth. It is really normal. How can it be said to be a problem?
As long as your Majesty discovers more talents and gives them more training opportunities, they can eventually become famous ministers and generals, replace the status of veterans and veteran generals, and make the Kingdom of Jin more prosperous. I have no doubt about this. "
Wan Yanliang shook his head.
He stood up, walked to the palace door, and looked south.
"Liangbi, I understand how you feel about me, but I can't wait that long. I don't have that much time. There are too many things I want to do. If you ask me to wait ten years, even five years, I will I can't even wait, I can't wait to fly to Lin'an with my army right away!
Do you know how much I want to defeat the main force of the Southern Kingdom and destroy the Southern Kingdom immediately? Do you know how much I want to unify the world and be the supreme master? I want to be not only the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, I want to be the emperor of the world! People of the world! "
Heshi Lieliangbi was very worried about this.
"Your Majesty, the Southern Kingdom seems to be weak, but in fact it still has a strong military. It is almost impossible to win in a single battle. Even if its resistance army can be defeated, many cities and dangerous points within its territory can be defended. If our army wants to seize it in one go, Okay, it's too difficult.
Not to mention these, let’s just talk about the navy. The navy of the southern country is elite, but we, the people from the north, are not good at handling boats and navy. We even don’t have a decent navy in our country. Even if we start to build it now, we at least need It takes a year to build a naval force, and sailors need even longer training.
If we cannot have an advantage in the navy, once the Southern Navy blocks the waterway, our army will be in a dilemma and have no way out. It will inevitably face a great dilemma. At that time, what should we do? "
Wan Yanliang shook his head.
"If you decide to go south, then everything must be accelerated. The navy is not the most important. The Huaihe and Yangtze River are not easy to pass. Then attack from the middle of Shu, capture the middle of Shu, and go down the river. I will not just take one way, I will Advance on multiple fronts and use the power of Mount Tai to overthrow him!"
Heshi Lieliangbi knew that he could not persuade Wan Yanliang no matter what.
"What about the chaos in Shandong and Hebei?"
"Let's wait for the specific situation first, and then we can discuss it after the situation is clear. Anyway, they are also on the way of my army going south. They will be crushed together. The thieves will always be thieves. They are not a climate. The threat is far less than that of the southern country. They are not a nuisance."
Wan Yanliang didn't seem to take these rebellious people too seriously, thinking that they were not a nuisance worth worrying about.
Heshi Lieliangbi didn't think so.
"But if they have colluded with the Southern Kingdom now, the problem will be very big. Your Majesty, I think we must consider the possibility that the traitors and the Southern Kingdom are colluding together to plot evil."
This sentence was actually listened to by Wan Yanliang.
"You are right. If Zhao Huafa tries to fish in troubled waters, it will definitely not be a good thing for us. It is necessary to prepare an emergency army to eliminate the rebels as soon as possible. We cannot let the Song Dynasty and the rebels unite."
Wan Yanliang then called Pu Sanhu Tu and asked him about the composition of the emergency force and the candidates for its generals.
Pusanhutu thought about the Privy Council's military list and thought that an elite army of about 20,000 to 30,000 people could be formed quickly.
As for the candidate to lead the army, he recommended Wanyan Alin, the son of the clan.
Wanyan Alin is an outstanding general of the new generation among military generals. Because his father is King Wanyan Zongxiong of Chu, he was awarded the title of General Dingyuan at the age of eighteen, and he has a high family background.
However, although he came from a high family, he was good at riding and shooting, and he was also very smart and alert. He knew Jurchen writing, Khitan writing and Chinese characters. He was a rare talent among the new generation of Jurchen children.
However, because he had been praised by Emperor Xizong, Wan Yanliang always felt uncomfortable.
In order to ascend to the throne, Wan Yanliang killed so many members of the clan that his relationship with the remaining clan dignitaries was very tense, and the limited few who had good relationships seemed to be inseparable.
As a last resort, Wan Yanliang did not want to hand over military power to the clan, but would rather hand it over to the Jurchens who had little relationship with the clan, or even to the Han and Khitan people.
So he asked other candidates, but after asking again and again, he felt that there was no more suitable general candidate than Wanyan Alin who could be dispatched immediately.
"Let's do this first. We will assemble the army with a number of 20,000 to prepare for the expedition. They will be given armor and trained first. After the situation is determined, we will discuss suitable candidates."
Wan Yanliang said this, Pu San Hu Tu had no other choice but to start doing business.
