Six hundred and five, Liu Xu's Conspiracy (Part 1)

Wanyan Wugunai was full of anger, not just because the Tatar tribe wanted to reduce the tribute horses.

Since last year, people from the Tatar tribe have successively crossed the northern part of Yinshan Mountain and raided the northwest of the Great Jin Kingdom. Although they refused to admit it, they knew that these things were them after a little touch.

Damn, these wild dogs who cannot raise families are trying to take advantage of their chance to fight against Liao Kingdom! Wanyan Wuguna gritted his teeth.

At that time, it was not just the Tatar tribe. Many tribes on the grassland were grateful to the Liao Kingdom and were afraid of them, but they still refused to surrender.

Later, the Great Jin Dynasty was unstoppable and some surrendered at the beginning, such as the Tatar tribe and Wang Gu tribe that were closest to the Jin Dynasty. However, after a long time, they slowly began to change their minds. Because without the suppression of the Liao Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty's main focus was in the south again, and during this gap period, they began to grow continuously. After having the strength, they tried to break away from the control of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Now the Jin Kingdom is going to be wary of Jing Kingdom in the south. Most of the troops gathered in Datong Prefecture to the west and Shanhaiguan to the east. They felt that they had a chance and could use this threat.

Wanyan Wu Gunai's face turned cold and he became more angry the more he thought about it.

If there were no Jingguo, he might have personally raised his army to go north, crossed the Yinshan and the Daxianbei passes, and flattened the Tatar tribe that was tense in Qin and Chu.

But after thinking about it, Wanyan Wuguna is very sure that the Jing Kingdom in the south is its biggest enemy, especially after meeting the King of Pingnan.

Once the Northern Expedition starts, it will not be over within one or two years. If Jing State sends troops from behind, they will fall into a force of attacking on both sides.

And what he feared the most was... the navy of King Pingnan!

He had never thought before that the navy army could be so powerful. In the Battle of Nanjing, the main force of the King of Pingnan East Route Army was indeed powerful. He quickly defeated Weizhou and stabilized, and went straight to the city of Nanjing. Even he dared not think about how Li Xingzhou attacked the city.

However, as a Wanyan Wugunai, who had fought for a lifetime and had a keen sense of war, deeply felt the bone-broken chill from the Western Route Army of King Pingnan.

With the big ships as a team, we headed north along the Bohai Sea and went straight to Wuding River along the Haihe River (called downstream). We defeated the blocking Liao Kingdom along the way and defeated the main force led by Yelu Dashi.

Thinking about this kind of army is a headache, and the spine is cold. What Wanyan Wugu is afraid of is not its combat effectiveness, but its unpredictable deployment ability!

If the Jing Kingdom threatens him, he can only smile. The Great Jin warriors are invincible in the world and have never been afraid of anyone on land. Moreover, if they send troops on land, the road must be fixed. If they guard important passes and crossings, they can defend the enemy's marching route. Even if they cannot defend, they can clearly know the opponent's marching route and formulate various countermeasures.

If you are dispatched to guard the opponent's army, you must set up an ambush.

But what if you march through water, what if you walk on the East China Sea and the Bohai Sea?

In the vast ocean, where can I find the Jingguo army? From Shanhaiguan to the north, there is a long coastline. Who knows where the Jingguo will launch an attack? What route will it take? There is no natural danger at the sea, and I don’t even know where the Jing army will attack, so how can it defend and how to mobilize troops?

As a person who has fought for decades, Wanyan Wugunai thought of these difficult problems at the first time, so he regarded Jingguo as his biggest concern, especially after meeting with King Pingnan.

Therefore, no matter how the Mongolian tribes in the north constantly provoked and tried to get rid of the control of the Dajin, he had no time to take care of them and could only turn a blind eye.

But when he saw these, the veterans and heroes under his command who followed him to fight against the country may not be able to do it. This is exactly what he had a headache about, so he thought of Liu Xu at the first time...

.........

After a while, the important officials in the court and his confidant sons all came. Everyone was not polite and found a place to sit down. Then Wanyan Wugunai showed them the letter.

As a result, after watching for a while, he started to curse and shouted that he would go north to flatten the Tatar tribe.

After all, after several years of victory, everyone was still intoxicated by the invincible glory of the Great Jin Dynasty. Many countries around surrendered, including Xia Kingdom in the west, Goryeo in the east, and Mongolian tribes in the north. The reason for this is that it is because the war has reached the end of its strength and need to rest.

It is precisely because of this that the Tatar tribe gradually began to have a strange intention and raid the border of the Great Jin Kingdom from the north.

Everyone talked, but almost all the same opinions were consistent, that was to fight.

With a loud noise, the room was full of gunpowder. Wanyan Wuguna sighed. His brothers who fought the world together could not change their minds. If they continued to do this according to their ideas, Dajin would not last long.

So he looked at Liu Xu, who had not spoken, and asked, "What do you think Mr. Liu?"

After hearing his question, everyone looked at Liu Xu.

Liu Xu smiled awkwardly, then stood up and looked at everyone, "I have heard what the generals said, and I also felt a glance of righteous indignation in my heart. The Tatar tribe's move is simply a challenge to my great golden power, and his crimes should be punished!"

As soon as these words were said, the generals were ready to beat the ball and applauded.

Wanyan Wugunai was stunned. He asked Liu Xu to speak, just to calm everyone down, but he didn't expect that he would say such words as well.

At this time, Liu Xu continued: "But, there is one thing that we have to care about, that is military rations.

Dear generals, in fact, after we fought for so many years, the Liao Kingdom's grain stock has almost disappeared. Since last year, we have bought grain from the merchants of Xixia and Jing Kingdom to support the army's war.

After May this year, more than half of the military rations were bought. The merchants in Jingguo increased the price of grain several times, so we could only grit our teeth and buy it."

"Damn, the people of Jingguo are just sinister and cunning villains!" Someone cursed.

Liu Xu's mouth twitched because he was also from Jingguo, but he quickly covered it up without looking. He then said, "If you go out to fight the Northern Expedition again, you will be starved to death halfway through. So in my opinion, you should rest at this time. As long as you endure for two or three years, with the emperor's policy of tolerance and loving the people and the love of the people, I can have a lot of money and food.

At that time, we will accumulate good horses for tribute to the northern grasslands, armored weapons for tribute to the Xia Kingdom in the west, and forged ourselves, to create an army composed of invincible Jin warriors with more than 100,000 armored troops galloping around the world, which is even stronger than ever before.

At that time, we can go south to seize the fertile soil of the Central Plains, and go north to control the vast horse farm. The desolate land of Xia can provide us with fine iron. Goryeo, which is separated from the mountains and ridges in the east, can pay tribute to us. Who in the world can compete with me for the great gold?

On the contrary, if we are anxious for a moment, when the national strength is scarce, food and grass are insufficient, and soldiers are tired, if we fail, it will not only cause great damage to the country's foundation, but also cause the recovery of Liao forces that are already lurking in various places to rebound, and our great cause for the eternal cause will be destroyed..."
