When Li Xingzhou entered the Changchun Hall, the ministers began to whisper.

The father-in-law Fu'an hurriedly came down, then handed him a battle report, and explained the situation.

Although I had thought a lot and prepared a lot on the way, when I saw the battle report sent by Guan Bei, I could write it clearly in black and white, and I still felt a little nervous.

The Jurchens really win, and the rise of the Jurchens may become a problem they have to face.

Until Li Xingzhou finished watching, everyone's eyes gathered in the hall, and no one spoke to disturb him.

"How does King Pingnan view this matter?" Zhong Daoyu spoke first.

"It's expected, but it's still amazing." Li Xingzhou smiled bitterly, with more than 100,000 elite soldiers being beaten by 20,000 people.

The emperor was a little anxious: "Tell me what to do with this matter."

The emperor spoke, and all the ministers watched.

Duke De whispered beside him: "If you don't know what to say, you have to weigh the pros and cons..."

Li Xingzhou nodded, but in fact he had an idea in his mind: "First of all, now, the Jurchens have occupied a large area of ​​land in Tokyo Road and Zhongjing Road. They are strong and independent and will not be a problem. In the future, you should call them Jin Kingdom, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

The ministers nodded quickly and said yes. Although the generals frowned, they didn't say anything in the end.

"Under this situation, the Liao Kingdom wants to win us as an allies, and the Jin Kingdom is the same. But I think it remains to be seen which side to stand on." Li Xingzhou said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was puzzled.

"The battle between Liao and Jin has already been won and lost, so why do we still have to wait and see?" He Zhao asked first.

"Yes, now the Liao Kingdom is defeated, and it is a great time. We will take the opportunity to attack Liao Kingdom with the Jin Kingdom and recover the land of Youyun!" Tong Guan also agreed.

"What Lord Tong said is reasonable, and I also think it is a good time. This time, the Liao Kingdom was defeated and separated from Nanjing by the Jin Kingdom. When the Jin Dynasty attacked Shangjing and we attacked Nanjing, we would definitely not be able to take care of each other in the north and south, and it would be easy to recover the lost land!" Wen Daoli also spoke up.

"I'm asking..."

"The same is true for me..."

“…”

Then people kept coming out to agree, whether civil or military.

Li Xingzhou already thought that someone would say that.

The defeat of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty in the previous life can be said to be inseparable from the Jin Kingdom. The Song Dynasty made two major strategic misjudgments, the destruction of four major powers, the Northern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom.

All of these are related to the rise of the Jurchens.

At first, when the Jurchens rose, the Jin Kingdom captured most of the land of Liao Kingdom with lightning speed. The Northern Song Dynasty, which had an alliance with Liao, thought of taking the opportunity to divide Tang, so he sent envoys to join the Jin Kingdom and sent troops to attack Liao Kingdom, and the Liao Kingdom was destroyed.

Then, as soon as the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, the Jin Kingdom took the opportunity to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty...

Subsequently, during the Southern Song Dynasty, Mongolia rose and fought the Jin Kingdom from the north, causing the Jin Kingdom to suffer a lot. The Jin Kingdom fell into the quagmire of war. Many people in the Southern Song Dynasty advocated taking the opportunity to cut off the annual tribute to the Jin Kingdom, and then sent troops to attack the Jin Kingdom to relieve Jingkang's shame.

At that time, there were also rational ministers who proposed that the Jin Dynasty should not be cut off the annual tribute and the Jin Dynasty should not go to war. Instead, they should give more money to the Jin Dynasty so that the Jin people who were at a loss had the spare time to continue fighting with the Mongols and waste money with the Mongols.

He also bluntly stated that although the Jurchens occupied the north, they could be reasonable to "respecte Confucius and Mencius, read the Six Classics, wear and cultural relics, and look like China."

The Mongols were brave and good at fighting without their own words. After breaking the city, they burned, killed, looted, and massacred people, and were completely barbarians. There is no reason to say with the Mongols. If the Jin Kingdom was destroyed, the Southern Song Dynasty would face the Mongolian military front directly and would be difficult to protect themselves.

Unfortunately, there were angry young people all over the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, and not many people had long-term strategic vision.

In the end, the Southern Song Dynasty cut off the annual monies of the Jin Kingdom. The Song and Mongolia formed an alliance and jointly attacked the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom was destroyed.

As soon as the Jin Kingdom was destroyed, Mongolia bordered the Southern Song Dynasty, so the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed...

It can be said that there are many reasons for the demise of the Song Dynasty, but at the war level, a large part of it was because the upper class of the Song Dynasty lacked strategic vision, and they each lost the overall situation for small profits, resulting in the destruction of the country.

Now Li Xingzhou is afraid that this situation will happen again. Everyone only considers defeating Liao with Jin, but they don’t want to destroy Liao after destroying Liao?

The Jin Kingdom grew stronger, and the Jurchen tiger and wolf army defeated the Liao Kingdom and ran away in a hurry. How should such an enemy that is several times stronger be dealt with?

......

However, the rise of the Jin Kingdom was not only because the first group of Jurchens led by Jin Taizu were too fierce and good at fighting, but also because of the Jin Kingdom's policies.

Li Xingzhou bowed his hand, and everyone calmed down when they saw this.

He stepped forward and looked around the ministers and said, "You don't know that the Liao Kingdom is different from our Jing Kingdom. In our Jing Kingdom, more than 90% of them are Han people. Even if they are not Han people, they respect Chinese traditions and have the same heart and virtue, so they are united.

But the Liao Kingdom is different from us. There are Jurchens, Khitans, Mongols, Hans, Goryeo, etc. In the territory of the Liao Kingdom, the common people don’t care who is the lord of the world. Whoever treats them will obey the orders..."

"But what does this have to do with our countermeasures?" The emperor spread his hands and interrupted him impatiently: "I am afraid that this is off topic for the emperor's words."

"Of course it's related." Li Xingzhou smiled and said, "Does the Crown Prince still understand? Since the people of Liao don't care who is the lord of the world, as long as the Jurchens treat the people well, they can turn around and work hard for the Jin Kingdom!

If there is a powerful ruler in the Jin Kingdom who can understand this principle, he will win people's hearts in a short time and become bigger and stronger.

In this way, the rear of the Jin Kingdom is stable and there is a tiger and wolf army. What we should worry about is the Jin Kingdom rather than the Liao Kingdom. Once the Liao Kingdom is destroyed and the Jin and Jing are connected, how to resist the tiger and wolf army of the Jin Kingdom is a big problem!" Li Xingzhou said loudly, and the civil and military officials in the hall were quiet and listened carefully.

"At this time, Lian Liao's policy was the best way to resist Jin.

On the contrary, if the lord of the Jin Kingdom had no talent and strategy, did not know how to appease the people, stabilize the rear, and only knew how to burn, kill, loot, and conquer with force, we could instead join Jin and attack Liao, and regain the land of Youyun with confidence.

Therefore, I think we should wait and see how the Jin Emperor Wanyan Wuguna deals with Zhongjing." Li Xingzhou spoke clearly and had a clear meaning. As soon as he finished speaking, the court talked a lot.

The rise of Jurchens in the previous life was indeed powerful. Many people only remember the military strength of An Yan Aguda, and remember the myth of the Jurchens being dissatisfied with ten thousand and invincible.

But one important issue was ignored. War was an extension of politics. What really made the Jin Kingdom grow stronger in a short period of time and destroyed the Liao Kingdom was not only because of its strong force, but also because Wanyan Aguda defeated a city and a pool of Liao Kingdom every time it hit a city and a pool, it abolished the harsh laws, reduced taxes, and gave preferential treatment and reduced prisoners, winning the hearts of the people, and consolidating the rear.

In this way, the Jin Kingdom subverted the powerful Liao Kingdom at that time in just a few years.

Li Xingzhou knew from Wanyan Yingge that their leader was called Wanyan Wugunai, not Wanyan Aguda, but it is unknown whether he has a great talent like Jin Taizu. It remains to be seen that if he knew to treat the people as favorably as Wanyan Aguda at the time, the rise of the Jurchens would be really unstoppable.

......

As soon as King Pingnan's remarks came out, all the civil and military officials felt that it was amazing and reasonable. After careful consideration, no one came forward to refute it.

But Duke De asked: "But what if there is no time to wait?"

"Now the autumn harvest is coming, and winter is coming soon. After winter begins, the north is bitter and cold, so it is not suitable to use troops. We have a winter time to observe and see what the Jurchens do next." Li Xingzhou replied.

Duke De nodded, then held the jade scepter and bowed, "Your Majesty, I think the words of King Pingnan are feasible."

The emperor nodded and looked at Zhong Daoyu.

Zhong Daoyu also praised: "The young hero of King Pingnan, who has far-reaching thoughts and insight into the overall situation, also thinks it is feasible."

The emperor looked at He Zhao again.

He Zhao bowed: "The King of Pingnan thinks thoughtful and long-term."

"I also agree with what King Pingnan said." Yu Chengan made a statement before the emperor asked, and said that it was useless for him to oppose the matter at this point. It would be better to sell his favors.

The emperor smiled slightly, nodded, and then said with a blank expression: "Then let's settle down at this time, and respect the words and actions of King Pingnan. What he said today, Sin Chew remembers to write a memorial form after returning home and present it to the Secretariat.
