The Western Xia was forced and shocked by the Song army, making the Jin high-level leaders realize the hidden crisis in the southward strategy. The Song army has gradually recovered its vitality from the initial battle. If the Song army continues to recover its vitality, the Jin high-level leaders are likely to encounter tough resistance. The Jin high-level leaders unanimously agreed that the signs of the Song army's recovery must be quickly strangled.

After three days of intensive consultation, the Jin Dynasty Emperor Wanyan Sheng finally decided to change the two-year rest plan of the Jin Dynasty to one year, and launched the southward battle this winter.

The Jin Kingdom convened nearly 200,000 tribal troops including Jurchens, Khitans, Bohai, Goryeo and other tribes, and mobilized 150,000 Han troops in Yanshan and Hebei, totaling 35 major troops, and falsely claimed that 500,000 troops launched a southward offensive.

Emperor Taidi Wanyan Xie was also the Marshal of the Capital, and was preparing to divide his troops into three groups to attack the Song Dynasty. Wanyan Loushi was the commander of the Western Army, leading an army of 80,000 to attack northern Shaanxi and Guanzhong. Wanyan Zonghan was the commander of the Central Army, and also led an army of 80,000 to attack the Central Plains. Wanyan Zongwang was the commander of the Eastern Army, and also led an army of 80,000 to attack Shandong.

Wanyan Xieye led an army of 100,000 to command and support the attacks of the three armies at any time.

The three major armies of the Jin army were made by Taiyuan Prefecture, Xiangzhou and Daming Prefecture as logistics sites, and the trumpet of going south after the Yellow River freezes.

In the Dongning Palace of Yanshan Prefecture, the imperial prince Wanyanxie also stood in front of a huge wooden map and pondered. The map was carved from wood for a year by hundreds of craftsmen. It was very vivid and intuitive. Unfortunately, it was only made to the front line of the Yangtze River at present, but even so, the entire wood carving has occupied most of the room.

Wanyan Xie is also very familiar with the situation of the Song Dynasty. At present, the young emperor of Lin'an, Zhao Gou, Li Yanqing, Zong Ze and Li Gang, three important officials who are in charge of war, are in charge of Shaanxi, Central Plains and Shandong. From the perspective of resistance, this decision itself has no problem, but the implementation effect may not be satisfactory. The key is still time.

Zong Ze prepared for nearly a year in the Central Plains and was well prepared. Li Yanqing had just defeated Xixia and was in a strong morale. The Western Route Army was the hardest to crack. Relatively speaking, Li Gang, the two defense envoys of JD.com, had just taken office and had no idea about combat preparations, but the Eastern Route was the easiest to break through.

"What do you think of General Guo?" Wanyan Xie also asked Guo Yaoshi next to him.

Yaoshi Guo is currently serving as the Yanshan Mountains, but his military power has been taken away by Wanyan Xie. Yaoshi Guo has actually been undermined. Wanyan Xie occasionally asked him to ask about military affairs, but most of his time spent drinking in the mansion and wasting his sorrows.

Wanyan Xie also distrusts this capricious general from the bottom of his heart. He rebels from Liao and Song, and he will one day rebel against the Jin Dynasty.

Although Guo Yaoshi was dissatisfied, he did not dare to show anything. He lowered his head and said, "Weizhi suggested to attack the east route. If Zongze rescued Shandong, the army could go directly south to the Central Plains and capture Bianliang in one fell swoop. As for the west route, we suggested to divide troops into two groups to fight."

"How to divide troops into two groups to fight?" Wanyan Xie asked with interest.

"Weizhi suggested attacking Yan'an Prefecture all the way, forming a pressure to go south, forcing the Song army in Guanzhong to dare not act rashly. The other route crossed the Yellow River from Mengjin, raided Luoyang, and cut off Hangu Pass, making it impossible for the Song Dynasty's Western army to rescue the Central Plains."

"What about Mr. Liang's opinion?" Wanyan asked Liang Fangping next to him again.

Liang Fangping is currently an important aide to Wanyan Xieye. He made suggestions for Wanyan Xie from the perspective of the Han people, which often makes Wanyan Xieye suddenly understand, so he is highly valued by Wanyan Xieye.

"In principle, humble officials agree with General Guo's suggestions, but humble officials need to add two points, please consider the Marshal."

"Sir, please say it!"

Liang Fangping stroked his beard and said: "At present, the army with the strongest combat power of the Song army is the Western Army. It is recommended that the Western Army be added to the West Road to increase to at least 120,000 troops to completely suppress the Western Army. This is one of the first things. The second thing is that the attack should be combined with the virtual and the real, and it cannot be solved by force alone. It must be considered in the long run. Sometimes, the strategy can be used properly, and 100,000 strong soldiers."

Wanyan's eyes lit up, and she smiled and said, "I guess sir should be confident."

Liang Fangping smiled slightly, whispered a few words to Wanyan Xiu, and Wanyan Xiu nodded repeatedly, "It's indeed a clever plan!"

Wanyan Xie also walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, then turned around and asked, "Who do you think is the most suitable person to be this lobbyist?"

Liang Fang smiled lightly, "I think Qin Hui is the most suitable!"

During the two negotiations between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, Qin Hui and Zhang Bangchang were detained by the Jin soldiers during the first negotiation. For more than a year, the two had been under house arrest with the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji in Yanshan Prefecture, while the other emperor Zhao Huan was sent to Huanglong Mansion, the old capital of the Jin Dynasty.

In the afternoon of the same day, Qin Hui was taken to Dongning Palace. After more than a year of detention, Qin Hui looked quite haggard. He was responsible for serving the soldiers who raised horses. He couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well. He lost a lot of weight. He had long been malnourished, which made him look delicious. He walked to Wanyanxie and bowed, "See Marshal Du!"

Wanyan Xie also looked at him and said, "Did Mr. Liang tell you?"

Qin Hui sighed and nodded silently. Just now Liang Fangping told him that Marshal Du was planning to pick one person between him and Zhang Bangchang and put it back to the Song Dynasty. In the future, the Jin Dynasty will fully support it and make it the spokesperson for the interests of the Jin Dynasty in the Song Dynasty.

Liang Fangping also clearly told him that this was his only chance. If he refused, Zhang Bangchang would go south, and he would send him to Huanglong Mansion to accompany Zhao Huan, and he would never have the chance to return to China in his life.

Of course, Qin Hui knew what the so-called spokesperson of interests meant, but he hesitated for a long time and finally agreed. He could not bear the loneliness of being imprisoned, nor could he tolerate the dual torture of spirit and physicality. He dreamed that he would long to return home, surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines, and lay out fine clothes and food. In the cold winter, he could sit in the warm study instead of cleaning up the frozen shit and urine with bare hands.

Wanyan Xie also said, "Since you agree, where is the letter of confession?"

A Jin soldier next to him handed over the letter of the title written by Qin Hui to Wanyan Xie. The so-called letter of the title is Qin Hui's confession. He voluntarily served the interests of the Jin Kingdom, served the interests of the Jin Kingdom in the Song Dynasty, and signed the letter. If Qin Hui regrets it, the Jin Kingdom will make it public to the world, causing Qin Hui to be ruined. This is Qin Hui's handle, which makes him dare not have a double heart.

Wanyan Xie also took the letter of fame and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "What else do you need?"

Qin Hui hesitated and said, "I want to meet the Supreme Emperor once. If I can get the Supreme Emperor's instructions, I can establish myself in the court."

"Yes, you'll go see him today!"

The Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji was also under house arrest in Dongning Palace. He was under house arrest in the northwest corner of the palace. The original horse house of the Liao Palace lived in the yard where the original horse man lived, covering only half an acre, a study room, a bedroom, a living room, and a shelter house. An old woman from the Liao Kingdom was responsible for taking care of his daily life, and then there was a very small yard where an old locust tree was planted in the corner of the yard.

Zhao Ji sat in the study every day and then walked around the yard. He had to earn money from his own books and the four treasures of the study. Wanyan Xie also liked his calligraphy and paintings, so he asked him to use calligraphy and paintings to exchange for his favorite books and pens, inks and papers.

Qin Hui walked into the yard, but saw the Supreme Emperor squatting in the corner of the wall and looking at something with relish. Qin Hui was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, "I'm going to see His Majesty the Supreme Emperor!"

"Oh! It's Qin Sheren. These two groups of ants are very interesting to fight. This black-headed general can't beat Marshal Chitou."

Qin Hui was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. The dignified Supreme Emperor actually squatted in the corner to watch the ants fight. He said carefully: "I have something to ask Your Majesty!"

Zhao Ji caught a glimpse of Qin Hui holding a package in his hand, and didn't care about watching the ants fighting, so he asked, "What's in the package?"

"You are a little rice paper when you report to the Supreme Emperor!"

Zhao Ji was overjoyed and stepped forward to take the package, saying, "Okay! OK! I finally have paper available."

Zhao Ji didn't care and walked quickly towards the study with the package. Qin Hui had to get up and follow him.

Zhao Ji's study room was very simple, with a large table, a chair, and a bookshelves hanging against the wall. There were dozens of books inside. The walls were mottled and fell off, revealing the soil inside. There was a brazier in the corner. The study room was not too cold.

Zhao Ji was excited to spread a piece of paper and was about to write a few words. Qin Hui couldn't help but say again: "I am going to return to the Song Dynasty tomorrow. Does Your Majesty have anything to say to me to bring to the official family?"

Zhao Ji was stunned, his expression gradually became depressed, and after a while, he said: "You go back and tell Jiulang that he should love the people well and be a good emperor, and then tell him that life should be frugal and military expenses should not be stingy."

After pausing, Zhao Ji said again: "Let him negotiate with the Jin people as soon as possible and let me go back to retire early."

"If Your Majesty wants to go back, he will probably have to make the official name first."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Ji asked with some displeasure.

"Your Majesty, the official has not yet been recognized by His Majesty. If His Majesty recognizes the emperor as soon as possible, I believe that the official will actively find ways to rescue His Majesty's return."

Zhao Ji sneered, "You mean, if I don't agree with him ascending the throne, he won't care about me, my father?"

"Your Majesty, my heartfelt words, only I can understand your majesty's hardships and sincerely hope that your majesty will return soon."

After a long time, Zhao Ji sighed, "Well! I will write a handwritten order, you can take it back to him!"
