According to Ding Haijun's previous plan, it was to infiltrate the Song Dynasty with huge commercial interests, instigating the new army prepared by Shi Miyuan to fight fiercely with the troops of the Kaifeng court. At the same time, using this large-scale infiltration itself as a threat, Li Yun
Come forward and push Shi Miyuan to change his tune and stand on the side of the Zhongdu court.
The reason why they made such a plan was because Guo Ning, Yelu Chucai and others all saw one thing clearly. That is, after competing with the Jin Dynasty for a hundred years, the Song Dynasty had also gone downhill.
The decay of the Song Dynasty court is just like the decay of the Jin Dynasty court. Powerful ministers like Shi Miyuan actually have no political ideas, let alone real strategies for governing the country. What drives him and his team to continuously seize power is just to consolidate
own political status, and then obtain economic benefits to enrich themselves.
For this purpose, Shi Miyuan can do this today and that tomorrow. In fact, they can do anything from north to south, east to west, as long as they satisfy their greedy appetites. In contrast, the situation in the north is incompatible with the long-term diplomacy of the Jin Kingdom.
That’s it; even the chaos caused by sudden changes in policy between the DPRK and China is nothing.
But the real problems are real.
Guo Ning's staff are very sure that since the Song Dynasty was invaded during the Taihe period of the Jin Dynasty and the heads of the ruling ministers were forced out, the Song Dynasty court has been filled with fear and disgust of war. There are few people who have the power to serve the north, or they lack political sensitivity.
The stupid young people are either a small number of people who are regarded as just in case by the rulers, and they are kept in the local area for a long time and are not as important as the central government.
Therefore, once Shi Miyuan changes his tune, chaos will be inevitable.
And the Song State in chaos... well, let alone the Song State in chaos, even the Song State with a stable government may not be able to intervene in Kaifeng! If the Song people had such ability, they should not have lost it back then.
Kaifeng and the vast Central Plains should never have fallen into the hands of the Jurchens!
Guo Ning and his staff are all so convinced.
But if the military reports captured by the scouts were correct...then Guo Ning and his staff were wrong. Although their plan was thorough, they underestimated the Song Dynasty.
No matter how corrupt the Song Dynasty is, it is confident that it can fight against the Jin Dynasty for a hundred years!
Guo Ning stared at the map eagerly, while recalling a few words in the military report, while corroborating it with the terrain of Tang, Deng and other military states in the lower left corner of the map and the distance and twists of the roads.
The Kaifeng Jin Army first moved south, and its battlefields in the west of Beijing were in Zaoyang and Suizhou. This area is more than 1,700 miles away from the Shandong East Road controlled by Ding Haijun, and there are more than 60 stops on the post road.
It is also separated by a river, and the entire Nanjing Road controlled by the Kaifeng court runs across it, so Ding Haijun does not know much about the development of the war in that area.
The last news we got was that the various departments of the Song Army were intertwined with the Kaifeng Jin Army. Each claimed that they had killed thousands or even tens of thousands of the enemy's troops, captured the heads of certain generals, captured a number of cities, and then
Each of them is constantly adding troops to the front line.
However, combined with what the military newspaper said, it is very interesting to think about it carefully.
How long has it been since Li Yun was in Lin'an and revealed his identity to promote Shi Miyuan's decision?
And how long did it take for this news to reach the ears of Zhao Fang, the envoy of Jinghu, from Lin'an?
No matter how elite the troops led by Zhao Fang are, how long will it take to gain the upper hand from Zaoyang, then push back to the Jin Kingdom, capture Yancheng, and threaten Xuzhou and Caizhou?
Guo Ning said solemnly: "The appearance of the Song Army means three things to me."
"I would like to hear my Lord's advice."
"First of all, it was Shi Miyuan's decision. This powerful official of the Song Dynasty must have united the opinions of his own political forces at the first opportunity, and then subdued the court, and suddenly changed the Song Dynasty's national policy from peace to war."
"Secondly, no matter how fast the soldiers and horses on the northwest road of Song Guojing moved, they could not have reached the hinterland of Henan so quickly after getting the emperor's order from the Southern Dynasty. This Zhao Fang was led by civil servants, not Grandpa Yue from the Southern Dynasty! The only explanation
, it is Wanyan Yingke who has probably been lying about the military situation and pretending to be victorious. In fact, the Song army had already pushed the battle line back to the territory of the Jin Kingdom."
Peng Yibin couldn't help but cursed: "In the early years, Wanyan Yingke was suppressing bandits in the local area. Every time he captured a so-called bandit, he was able to set fire to them. Because of his cruelty and cruelty, he got the reputation of being a bandit. Now. Now
It seems that this guy is not only a fool, but also a fool!"
Guo Ning nodded slightly and continued: "The third thing is that although the Song Dynasty was corrupted, there were still high-ranking officials in the local areas who dared to take responsibility, generals who were familiar with military aircraft, and soldiers who dared to fight tough battles. What Zhao Fang said
Our troops of 20,000 troops marched from Zaoyang to the territory of Xuzhou, during which they had to capture several fortified cities and break down many garrison fortresses. Their combat effectiveness is extraordinary."
When the generals were about to nod, Yin Chang said: "My lord, there is a fourth thing."
"speak."
"The Song army fought all the way from Zaoyang to Yancheng, a journey of six hundred miles. They needed the support of grain and fodder materials, the people, and the rural leaders. These had to be raised on the spot in a short period of time.
Easy. Therefore, it shows that there are many people on Nanjing Road who cherish their motherland."
Guo Ning squinted his eyes, looked at the map again, and nodded: "Yes, that's right. Keep thinking from here..."
The actions of the Song people are understandable. Although the Song Dynasty was in decline, it was still stronger than the Jin Dynasty, which had been fighting every day for two years, with bones covering the fields. The military and political strength of the Song Dynasty was better than that of Nanjing.
The Kaifeng imperial court, which barely maintained half of its empire through its own business, was even more powerful.
Previously, Zhongdu and Kaifeng had equally divided the territory of Dajin. Due to the inertia of the Song people who were afraid of fighting, they subconsciously tried to please both sides at the same time, using diplomatic and economic means to achieve a balanced situation in the north with the Song State as the leader.
But as Guo Ning's Dinghai navy suddenly sent troops, the weakness of the Kaifeng court was suddenly revealed. Then the Song people's desire to return the old capital outweighed their fear of war, and they became bolder.
In the direction of Huainan, which is directly opposite Ding Haijun, the Song people may not dare to move arbitrarily, but Ding Haijun cannot stop them from sending troops from the west of Beijing to try.
"Wanyan Yoke, Wanyan Saibuliang, and the 13th Captain of Kaifeng all suffered heavy losses in the fight with the Song people. This is a good thing for us. But..."
Guo Ning looked around again and said with a smile: "I don't know what Li Yun said in the Song Dynasty, but it really whetted the appetite of the Song people! Looking at the posture of the Song army, they are trying to show off their skills and plan to intervene in Kaifeng.
, restoring the old capital!"
Han Xuan shook his head: "This Song army is very courageous, but they can never match the power of our army. No matter what they want, we will defeat them with force!"
Yin Chang pondered: "No, no, the Song Army is now our ally, and there is inextricable cooperation between the two sides. How can we use our strength? This is not a matter of fighting on the battlefield! The key is that since the Song Army has intervened around Kaifeng
, the original two parties have become three parties, and the situation we are facing has new variables..."
Those who can participate in the discussions of such military aircraft are all smart and capable people. In these years, they have grown from being young soldiers to being in charge of military affairs. As their horizons and knowledge continue to broaden, their judgments have become sharper. When Yin Chang said this, everyone suddenly realized
.
Han Xuan clapped his hands, causing the four treasures in the study room on the table to jump wildly: "The people in charge in Kaifeng City are very courageous, and they can really risk their lives! This Song Army is Kaifeng's back-up force!"
"That's right! That's right!"
Guo Zhongyuan nodded repeatedly: "Our army has spent so much effort, and the goal is Kaifeng. We will never let it go. And Shi Miyuan of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty suddenly switched from the main war to the main battle, which must have expended huge political resources. For him,
He said that he must get a sufficient reward. The reward he hopes for is most likely Nanjing Road or Kaifeng Mansion!"
"Now that this Song army has arrived in Yancheng, whether it is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, or to take chestnuts from the fire, as long as they are present, they will be exploited by Kaifeng. The Kaifeng court controls Kaifeng City, and there are many things to live in.
, you can wait for the price and sell it! And we and the people of Song Dynasty are all afraid of the rat!"
