Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 520 Conspiring with the enemy is a last resort
Seeing that the weather is getting hotter, the topography of the Bashu Basin determines that the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day.

Just after the Qingming Festival, Liu Wei felt that the bad luck seemed to be in the past.

First of all, Wu Lin and others from Dasanguan, they withdrew smoothly.Although at the beginning Wu Lin and others were unwilling to give up the pass that they had defended with blood and sweat, but under the persuasion of several consecutive letters and strong orders from Liu Wei, Wu Lin and others finally chose to retreat.

They had just come down from Dasan Pass, and Han Shizhong's soldiers and horses stationed in Hanzhong City also retreated, followed closely behind, and marched towards Yizhou Mansion together.They walked all the way, gathering soldiers and horses all the way, and when they reached the border of Yizhou Prefecture, the number of soldiers and horses was as high as 6!
Such a large number of soldiers and horses, even if the Yue family army saw it, they would not dare to act rashly.The court of the Southern Song Dynasty was very happy about Liu Jiajun's voluntary withdrawal from Hanzhong City and other places. Any general would be happy to see the success of Liu Jiajun's voluntary withdrawal of the lost ground. Bigger hat.

Just when most of the generals were happy, Yue Fei also led them into Hanzhong City.

Hanzhong has always been a battleground for military strategists. It can be said that there are very few situations like Liu Wei who voluntarily gave up. Although some people think that this is the reason for Liu Wei's lack of military strength, Yue Fei feels that there must be something hidden in it .

Based on his understanding of the Liu family's army, the current Liu family's army is not stretched to hold these important towns. As long as Liu Wei is willing to show his old background, the Southern Song Dynasty court, including Yue Fei, must have nothing to do with Liu Wei.

But why did Liu Wei take the initiative to give up the towns he had already acquired and shrink his power?Yue Fei couldn't understand this question at first, but when he divided his troops to garrison Dasan Pass, he suddenly understood!
As the full support of the Southern Song court, the Yue Family Army has a total strength of [-] troops now that Han Shizhong has passed away, and its military pay accounts for more than a quarter of all military expenditures of the court. In Dasan Pass, the expenses of the entire Yue family army suddenly increased by as much as [-]%, even Yue Fei frowned at this.

But don't think that the ancient generals are as simple as leading troops to fight.In this era, the duty of a general is not just to lead troops to fight. The country does not have special logistics support equipment. Even if there is a military department, they do not specialize in logistics support. The logistics support of the army needs to be taken care of by the general himself.

To put it simply, how to effectively distribute the food, grass, and military salaries allocated by the imperial court is a matter for the general. If it falls to the Yue family army, that is what Yue Fei must handle.

It was precisely because of this that Yue Fei knew how expensive it would be to stay in Dasan Pass for a long time.Especially when they were stationed as foreign soldiers, they couldn't get the support of the surrounding people at all at first, and it was even more difficult for them to move forward.

In this way, Yue Fei understood Liu Wei's reason for ordering the withdrawal of troops - greatly reducing military expenditures, and these reduced funds can be used to develop the national economy and people's livelihood, and to manufacture military equipment.On the contrary, in order to maintain these city garrisons that have now become important border towns, the imperial court has to consume a lot of manpower and financial resources.

As one ebbs and the other grows, the national power of the two countries will inevitably reverse accordingly. Perhaps it will not take long before the Central Republic of China will be able to overtake the Southern Song Dynasty.

Fighting a war is of course a matter of military strength, but it is also a test of the resilience of both sides in the war. Whoever is more resilient may be the one who will have the last laugh.

When Yue Fei reported his conclusions to Zhao Gou in the form of a memorial, hoping that the court would not be so passive and come up with a solution as soon as possible, but Zhao Gou didn't have the heart to pay attention to the matter here.In Zhao Gou's view, Dasan Pass, Hanzhong City, including Deyang County, were areas originally controlled by the Southern Song court. Now that they have been brought back, that's good.

As for the area around Yizhou Prefecture, the imperial court actually lost the ability to control it a long time ago and was controlled by Liu Wei. Now that Liu Wei has taken the initiative to show weakness, let it be for the time being. He played a small game of playing house, and there were more important things in the north that deserved his attention.

This matter is a huge change in Jinting!

Jin Wushu's dissatisfaction with Wanyan Quan has long been unbearable, now that he leads the army back, how can Wan Yanquan relax?
Although this was an internal conflict among the people of the Jin Kingdom, both parties to the covenant, whether it was Jin Danzi or Wan Yanquan, hoped that Zhao Gou could take a clear stand on this matter.

In fact, Zhao Gou already knew about the discord between Jin Wushu and Wanyanquan, but his indecisive character made it difficult for him to stand clearly in one camp from the beginning.

As the conflict between Jin Wushu and Wanyan Quan heated up, Zhao Gou became a little anxious at this time, often calling Qin Yu and others to discuss day and night, in order to decide what to do.

It stands to reason that it is not too late now, as long as he stands in the right team, Zhao Gou, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, can still make a difference.However, the so-called not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs. The few cobblers around Zhao Gou did not get half of Zhuge Liang together. It even directly pushed Zhao Gou onto the single-plank bridge, making him choose to support Wan Yanquan, who is now the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin!
Who is the person who finally persuaded Zhao Gou, I am afraid that no one knows except Zhao Gou knows it in his heart, but this is not important. The important thing is that the following series of things will happen because of Zhao Gou's wrong choice .

Regardless of the internal problems of the Southern Song court, the second good news for Liu Wei is that there is finally news about Wang Chongyang!
After searching for Wang Chongyang for more than a month, members of the shadow team near Hanzhong finally found Wang Chongyang's figure in a place extremely far away from Hanzhong City.

Fortunately, Liu Wei and Zhang Han never gave up on looking for Wang Chongyang. The spies of the shadow team expanded their search area to such an extent. Otherwise, they would not have found the injured Wang Chongyang in the wilderness!
Although Wang Chongyang's injury at that time would not have been life-threatening even without the help of the shadow team spies, it was still risky after all. How could it be safe for the shadow team spies to send him to the city for treatment?

Here Wang Chongyang is still treating Yang Yang, and the shadow team over there is sending the news to Liu Wei. Unfortunately, at this time Ma Yu has left Xinducheng to find that little uncle Chaihu who is far away.

Hearing that Bupleurum actually sneaked off to Dali Kingdom, Chai Qingyuan, who just withdrew from Dasan Pass, was really furious. If Liu Wei hadn't stopped him, Chai Qingyuan, whose injuries hadn't recovered, would have killed him single-handedly. Go to Dali Kingdom, and capture his lawless younger brother alive - with the two brothers' current kung fu level, it is really uncertain who will capture the other alive.

At the beginning when he heard that Wang Chongyang was injured, Liu Wei was very nervous. What kind of enemy did Wang Chongyang encounter to appear injured after being missing for more than a month?It's a pity that the shadow team didn't bring back this information to Liu Wei, and I don't know if it was forgotten, or because Wang Chongyang didn't want to talk about it at all.

If it wasn't for the "Prime Minister" hat on his head that made Liu Wei unable to get away, he would definitely go to see Wang Chongyang immediately. At least he still has the anti-inflammatory elixir from later generations in his hand, which can prevent Wang Chongyang's injury from worsening.

Fortunately, according to the news from the shadow team, Wang Chongyang's injury is not fatal, and he is already in the process of recovering steadily. In addition, Liu Wei is indeed unable to escape, so he can only write a letter to Wang Chongyang , which also mentioned that Liu Wei needed Wang Chongyang to preside over the coronation ceremony, and Wang Chongyang would not refuse after he recovered from his injury.

For Liu Wei, the third good news is that Jin Danzi has finally decided to surrender and has already started to act. The army keeps turning their spears and launching attacks in the direction of Bashu, towns belonging to the Southern Song court.

This change in Jindanzi's army naturally aroused the tension of the soldiers and horses of the Southern Song Dynasty who besieged Bashu, especially those generals who planned to retreat after making a fortune, were even more nervous, fearing that Jindanzi would target themselves.A kind of general in the Southern Song Dynasty, including Yue Fei, never expected that Liu Wei would be able to persuade Jin Danzi to join him!
From the perspective of these senior generals in the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Wei's current strength and power are far from enough to make Jin Danzi surrender voluntarily. Liu Wei must have used some huge benefits as a price in exchange for forming an alliance with Jin Danzi Qualifications.

Some generals even thought that Liu Wei's behavior, forgetting his ancestors after countless classics, was a disgrace to the people of Song Dynasty!They can accept Liu Wei's self-proclaimed king, but they can't accept Liu Wei's collusion with other races.It's just that such remarks cannot be made public, and can only be spread in secret. After all, the highest leader of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, is a person who actively "colludes" with other races and loses the face of Song people.

For this kind of statement that was circulated by the outside world, Liu Wei did not think about correcting it. In his opinion, it is not important what others say.

The joining of Jin Danzi can only be said to be the icing on the cake for the Central Republic of China, but it cannot achieve the effect of sending charcoal in a timely manner.Among all the good news, the only thing that made Liu Wei feel vigilant was the movement of the Yue family army.

The Yue Family Army, which occupies a favorable strategic position such as Hanzhong City, has formed a situation of oppressing the Central Republic from the northeast. Once the Yue Family Army launches an attack, there will be a big battle between the two sides.

However, such a battle is something that Liu Wei does not want to see and wants to avoid with all his strength.

No one knows when Yue Fei will launch an attack. The answer to this question is probably only understood by Yue Fei and Zhao Gou.As for Liu Wei, he could only respond passively.However, from the standpoint of a country's ruler, Liu Wei felt that he should do more.
