Chapter 52 The situation is erratic?

Wanyan Zongwang didn't disagree with Shi Liai's tactics.

Shi Liai's "locking city method" is a very superb tactic.

He just didn't agree with Wanyan Zonghan's strategy.

What is Wanyan Zonghan’s strategy?

Determined to destroy the Song Dynasty!

After this large-scale siege, the situation has already developed towards the situation described in Zhao Guanjia's "On the Early Years of the War between Song and Jin Dynasties".

In fact, most people in this room were aware of it, but they all unanimously did not mention Zhao Guanjia's article.

Marshal Wanyan Zonghan said: "I agree with Mr. Shi's statement. What do you have to say?"

The others were silent, but Wanyan's mother said: "It's good to lock the city, lock them all, I'll go and rob them!"

No one paid attention to him, everyone knew that he had a bad temper, and no one would provoke this butcher for no reason.

Zong Han glanced at Wanyan Zongwang and said, "Zongwang, do you have anything to say?"

Wanyan Zongwang said: "If we want to lock the city, it will be a matter of who has more food. We are now deep into the hinterland of the Song Dynasty. There are still some remnants of the Song army in the north, and other places have begun to fortify the walls and clear the country. How much food do we still have?"

Wanyan Xiyin, who was in charge of the army's logistics, said: "Our army originally had three months of food rations, but in today's battle, many people died in battle. If we save food, we can still eat for nearly four months."

"Does that mean that in April this year, we will run out of food?"

Wanyan Xiyin said: "It looks like it on paper, but we can collect food from surrounding towns."

Liu Yanzong took the words and said: "With a radius of hundreds of miles, how much more can be collected?"

Wanyan Xiyin said: "I conservatively estimate that we can still collect two months' worth of food."

Wanyan Yan's mother intervened, not interfering...

Wanyan's mother said: "Those cunning Han people have hidden all the food! Marshal, give me 3,000 men and horses, and I will clear those places along the way and kill all those who hide the food!"

Liu Yanzong said: "No! If we continue to kill Han people wantonly, there will only be more people in Hebei and Hedong who resist us."

Wanyan's mother said: "We are fighting now, and fighting is about grabbing food! What do you, a civil servant, know?"

"Mother Cha, please don't be rude to Liu Pushe." Wanyan Zongwang said coldly, and Wanyan Cha's mother retracted her head.

Liu Yanzong continued: "Now in Hebei and Hedong, many Song soldiers and civilians are gathering to resist us. If there is a large-scale massacre at this time, it will only make more Han people join them, which will be very harmful to us."

Although Wanyan Zonghan was cruel and warlike, he still understood these principles.

The most important thing is that the Han people are almost running out of food.

In the past two years, there have been constant wars in Hebei and Hedong. The red land has been thousands of miles away, and many crop fields have been abandoned. Even if we try to harvest them by force, not much can be harvested in this cold weather.

Moreover, the Jin Kingdom inherited almost all the heritage of the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom was not an ordinary nomadic nation, it was a country that combined feudalism and nomadism.

The same is naturally true for the Kingdom of Jin.

There are various nomadic groups and Han cities in the country. Animal husbandry, agriculture, iron smelting, etc. are all very developed. At the same time, it has inherited the bureaucratic system of the Liao Kingdom.

The Jin Kingdom has fought too fast in recent years and expanded its territory too quickly. The increase in the bureaucracy cannot keep up with the expansion of the land, and it cannot effectively digest the land it swallowed.

Feudalization is the current consensus of the Jin Kingdom on the general political direction.

Since feudalization was required, it was necessary to rely on the Han people, so massacres of Han people were done in the early Jin Dynasty, but later they were reduced.

It's a little bit restrained.

There are political factors in this.

Wanyan Xiyin said: "What Liu Pushe said makes sense. Marshal, regarding the military rations, I will find a way. There should be some in Luoyang and Zhengzhou that can be dispatched."

"Okay, you go and do this. You must raise more money. Even if it's a month's worth of food, I'll have to spend it with that dog emperor to see how long he can hold on!"

After saying that, Wanyan Zonghan raised his wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp: "When Bianjing is captured, all the treasures and women in Bianjing will be ours!"

Everyone raised their glasses and said: "The marshal is wise!"

Wanyan Zongwang didn't say anything, he would not dissuade Wanyan Zonghan.

Just like if you are a vice president and you find that the president's strategy is wrong, you will not remind him.

Not only will you not remind him, but you also hope that he will run down the wrong road.

Shi Liai suddenly said: "Marshal, I have one more thing to say."

"Mr. Shi, you just say it doesn't matter."

"Here, Cizhou and Xiangzhou, I heard that many Song troops are gathering. The King of Kang, Zhao Gou, who we let go this year, opened the Hebei Army Marshal's Mansion in Xiangzhou and issued the Order of King Qin."

"Zhao Gou?" Wanyan Zonghan said in surprise, "I remembered this name, a prince of Zhao Song, the only real man!"

What would be Wanyan Jiumei's reaction if she heard Wanyan Zonghan's words?

You know, in orthodox history, after Wanyan Jiumei became the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, she licked her face and wrote a scorching letter to Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai and Marshal Wanyan Zonghan.

The only real man?

I can only say that the old Zhao family...

Shi Liai said: "I'm worried that a large number of Song soldiers and civilians will gather and block our way back to the north. Our army is naturally not afraid of them in the field, but our army has been on an expedition for a long time. If we encounter Song Dynasty when we return north, we will not be afraid of them."

The country’s army and people are at a disadvantage to our army.”

Shi Liai’s worries are definitely not unnecessary worries.

In fact, in military operations, withdrawing troops is much more difficult than attacking.

When attacking, mobilize everyone to attack together. At this time, the army is in an excited state.

But when the troops were withdrawing, everyone was eager to return home and had no intention of fighting.

If the Song army gathered on a large scale in the north at this time, it would be a headache for the Jin army.

"Then what's your plan?"

Shi Liai stroked his beard and said with a smile: "We can spread false news that the Dog Emperor has agreed to negotiate peace with us, so that they can stand still."

"Okay!" Wanyan Zonghan burst into laughter upon hearing this, "This is a great plan!"

The tenth day of the first lunar month, Daming Mansion.

Zhao Gou is preparing a large army. Currently, King Qin's army has arrived at Daming Mansion with 100,000 people, and more people are gathering.

"Marshal! Grand Marshal!" Zhang Jun suddenly ran in. He was quite excited, "Marshal, there is news from Gyeonggi!"

"What's the news?" Zhao Gou was immediately confused.

"The officials have reached an agreement with the Jin people!"

Wang Boyan said: "Generalissimo, since we have reached a peace agreement, we'd better stay put."

Zhao Gou began to think deeply. He picked up the tea cup on the table and drank.

After drinking, walk back and forth in the house.

It seemed that after thinking for a long time, Zhao Gou said: "Hold your troops for now."

Hebei, Cizhou.

"Deputy Marshal Zong!" Commander Chen Que hurried in, "Deputy Marshal Zong!"

Zongze was changing clothes and he said, "What's the matter?"

"There's news coming from the south!"

Zongze was shocked and said nervously: "How is it? What is the current situation in the capital?"

"Said that the official family has negotiated peace with the Jin people!"

"Peace negotiation?"
