After discussing with Yelu Chucai and Yang Weizhong, Wokuotai was quite satisfied with the six strategies suggested by them.

The three people discussed in the big tent, integrated the six strategies to destroy the Song Dynasty, and finally decided on a general strategy.

The Southern Song Dynasty had a large population and sufficient taxes. However, its court was relatively isolated and limited its military power by culture, which made it impossible for the Southern Song Dynasty to truly mobilize and exert much strength in the war.

Of course, if the Southern Song Dynasty was given time to transform into a wartime state, their strength would be revealed.

This is just like the Northern Song Dynasty. The Jin State easily destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty. However, as the war continued, the resources of the Southern Song Dynasty were mobilized, and they gradually gained the strength to compete with the Jin State, and finally blocked the Jin State's attack.

Both Yelu Chucai and Yang Weizhong believed that the Southern Song Dynasty was not ready at this time and it was the time for the Mongols to attack.

They all believed that time did not wait for us, and they must seize the current opportunity to defeat the Southern Song Dynasty and destroy its war potential before the Southern Song Dynasty changed to a wartime state.

Faced with the Southern Song Dynasty, a country with a population of tens of millions and a strength no less powerful than that of the Jin Kingdom, Wo Kuotai finally decided to divide the Southern Song Dynasty's internal war into two factions based on their strategies, and only fight against the Southern Song Dynasty's main war faction.

, Mongolia first announced its strategy of only attacking Zhao Tai.

After the discussion was settled, Ogedai promised the Mongolian tribes at the Kuriltai Conference a few days later that they would conquer the Song Dynasty in the south, and that the property and population would be freely claimed by the tribes.

Looking around the Mongolian royal court and forest, and on the pastures nearby, millions of cattle and sheep can be seen in herds, and more than 100,000 Mongolian warriors are galloping in the wilderness.

In the sweat tent dragged by hundreds of war horses, Wo Kuotai raised his wine glass high and assured many Mongolian nobles, "Everyone, we in Mongolia destroyed the gold and helped the southerners to avenge us, but the southerners took advantage of our army's exhaustion from the long battle to sneak attack on us.

The Mongolian warriors robbed us of the fruits of twenty years of hard work and took in our great Mongolian enemy Zhao Tai. Since the Mongols raised their armies, we have been taking other countries as our inheritance. It is really unreasonable for the southerners to dare to take our Mongolian inheritance!"

The Mongolian nobles in the tent couldn't help but be filled with indignation after hearing Ogedai's words, and shouted loudly, "Revenge! Revenge!"

Wo Kuotai nodded with satisfaction, and after everyone shouted for a while, he said loudly: "In this expedition, the money, food, and women of the places we passed along the way will be taken by ourselves. All the states and counties that resist our Mongolian army will not be killed by chickens or dogs."

Keep!"

When the Mongolian princes in the tent heard this, their eyes turned red and they roared excitedly, "Destroy the Song Dynasty! Destroy the Song Dynasty!"

…

When Wokuotai gathered various tribes on the grassland and prepared to take advantage of the opportunity of the Southern Song Dynasty to restore the Guanhe defense line and attack southward again, Zhao Tai also returned to Pizhou with his young wife.

After getting married and falling in love for a long time, Zhao Tai spent the happiest time since time travel.

Time flew by and by the end of August, Zhao Tai was still in close contact with Yang Guiying, but Wang Wentong came to visit.

After Zhao Tai learned the news, he came to the study. Wang Wentong stood up and saluted anxiously, "Your Majesty!"

Zhao Tai waved his hand, sat down and asked, "Sir, are you coming here today? Do you have anything important to do?"

Wang Wentong said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that my request for a title from Lin'an will be ruined."

Zhao Tai frowned, "What's going on?"

Wang Wentong said: "Last year, the Song army sent troops to the Central Plains. Although they recovered Bianliang, they lost tens of thousands of horses. This made many ministers in Lin'an criticize Prime Minister Zheng and believed that war with Mongolia should not be started. Now in Lin'an, in the court hall

It's quite confusing. I'm requesting a title from Lin'an on behalf of the king. There is news from Lin'an that we may not be able to meet our request!"

After the fall of the Jin Kingdom, Zhao Tai occupied Shandong and wanted to rely on the Southern Song Dynasty to fight against the Mongols.

Now that Zhao Tai controls Lunan and several states in Huaibei, he needs the Southern Song Dynasty to give him a title to be deeply bound to the Southern Song Dynasty.

In this way, if the Mongols attacked him, it would be equivalent to attacking the Song Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty would support him and not just sit idly by.

After hearing Wang Wentong's words, Zhao Tai's expression became solemn, "What did Prime Minister Zheng say?"

Wang Wentong said: "If you don't have a title, it's impossible to recruit people of the same rank! In addition, at most, you can make the king the governor of the East and West Roads of Shandong, and only let the king command the troops, and Lin'an has to send officials to serve as magistrates and judges of various states and counties!"

"

Zhao Tai couldn't help but stand up and pace around the study room.

If so, he would have surrendered his territory and been pacified by the Southern Song Dynasty.

Wang Wentong said: "Lin'an hopes that Shandong will control the number of troops to less than 30,000. Wuxian and Li Fen's troops will be organized into one army each, and they can only be dispatched by Zhijun."

Zhao Tai stopped and said, "I agree to such a condition, but Wuxian and Li Fen will not agree either!"

Wang Wentong said: "Indeed! It is acceptable not to be crowned king, but it is absolutely impossible to accept the prefectures and counties under our control."

If the control of the prefectures and counties was handed over, Zhao Tai would have to rely entirely on the Southern Song Dynasty for military equipment, food and salary, and would not be controlled by the Southern Song Dynasty in the future.

Zhao Tai said solemnly, "The Song army captured Bianliang, and Mongolia will inevitably retaliate. They are about to go to war with Mongolia, and they should win over me. Why do they give such conditions!"

Wang Wentong said: "Your Majesty! As far as I know, someone in Lin'an spread the news, claiming that Mongolia only wanted to fight the king and was unwilling to fight the Song army. Many people in Lin'an believed the rumor, and many officials even wrote to them,

Let Song Ting cut off contact with us in exchange for reaching an understanding with Mongolia!"

"Straight bitch! Short-sighted!" When Zhao Tai heard this, he immediately cursed and realized that the crisis was approaching. "There were many internal conflicts in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zheng Xiang could not completely gain the upper hand. This was obviously the work of Mongolian agents. They wanted to influence

Song Ting, let the lucky Lord He send to contain the Southern Song Dynasty. If they succeed, Shandong will be over! Zhiniang thief, who paid attention to the Mongols!"

Mongolia is very powerful, but the strength of the Southern Song Dynasty is actually not weak, and the reason why they failed can be said to be not that their opponents were too strong, but that there were always teammates who were too weak.

Wang Wentong said: "The Mongols are fierce in fighting, but not so smart in their strategies. It must have been the idea of ​​those Han officials who surrendered to Mongolia."

Zhao Tai felt very uneasy, "The Mongols are spreading such news in Lin'an. They are preparing to attack me."

Wang Wentong was also worried and said: "I am also worried about this! If Mongolia attacks us and the Southern Song Dynasty stands idly by, how can we withstand the Mongolian attack!"

Zhao Tai couldn't help but pace back and forth, saying as he walked: "Now that Prime Minister Zheng is in charge, his attitude is very critical. We must try to get Lin'an to give us a status!"

Wang Wentong said worriedly: "Your Majesty, I'm worried that this news will spread in Lin'an, and Prime Minister Zheng may be one of the promoters!"
