Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 820: The Planner Plans Before the Omens Come

Ever since Yang Yuan divided his troops into three groups and entered Shaanxi, the secret spies of the New Jin Empire's Yiluansi quickly passed the news to Shangjing City.

In the Yiluansi of Shangjing, Shangguan Luo walked slowly with his hands behind his back.

Wanyan Ping was also wearing an official uniform, which added a bit of heroic spirit to her originally sweet and petite appearance.

"Sir, the opportunity cannot be missed. It is time for our Jin Kingdom to launch a large-scale expedition to the south."

Wanyan Ping said excitedly: "This will not only reduce the pressure on the teacher, but also make it difficult for the pseudo-Jin to take care of both sides. Maybe we can occupy Yanjing in one fell swoop."

Wanyan Ping had never seen a man like Yang Yuan.

So when she was still a young girl, she suddenly met someone like Yang Yuan, which left an indelible impression on her heart.

Because of the separation, this impression became more and more perfect and unforgettable in her heart.

Now, she has reached the age of virginity, and when she met Yang Yuan again, Yang Yuan had also made progress.

He was still as handsome as ever, and the Zhelong technique only made his masculine charm increase.

His experience, knowledge and status make his temperament even more outstanding.

The white moonlight in Wanyan Ping's heart not only did not lose any of its filter because of the reunion, but on the contrary... became even more perfect.

But after a short time together, Yang Yuan sent her and Li Qinglu back to Xinjin, which made her feel even more passionate.

She looked at Shangguan Luo, her eyes full of excitement.

However, Shangguan Luo poured cold water on her.

"If we, the Great Jin, go south now, can we conquer the fake Jin in one fell swoop?"

In order to compete for public opinion, the New Jin now calls itself the Jin Kingdom, and calls Wanyan Liang's Jin Kingdom the Pseudo-Jin.

This battle for public opinion is just like the time when the Jin Kingdom called itself "Han people" and called the Song Kingdom, which was driven south of the Huai River, "Southern Barbarians."

Things have changed, and now "Northeast Gold" has followed the example of "Central Plains Gold".

Li Qinglu blinked and said, "Even if we can't defeat the entire fake Jin, we can at least weaken it greatly."

Shangguan Luo smiled and said, "Why did Yang Yuan chase you back? And why did he say those words to you?

His purpose is to get us to send out troops. Then, the result will definitely be more beneficial to the Song State."

"In this case, we, the Great Jin, will march south to fight against the fake Jin.

Yanjing is the capital of the pseudo-Jin Kingdom. Wanyan Liang will have to defend it with the whole country's strength. Then we will both lose, and Yang Yuan will reap the benefits. Then what?"

Shangguan Luo looked at Wanyan Ping and Li Qinglu, and said earnestly: "Then, the Song Dynasty, which has a much stronger foundation than our Great Jin, will be the first to recover its strength!
Just like the speed at which the Song Dynasty and the Pseudo-Jin recovered after the Battle of Lingbi.

By then, our Great Jin will be in danger.

One of you princesses and one of you princesses will become Yang Yuan's slave girl!"

Want to...become the teacher's slave girl?
Is this... so exciting?

Wanyan Ping and Li Qinglu felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts, and their legs felt a little weak.

so excited!
Shangguan Luo said in a deep voice: "We in the Jin Kingdom are keeping our troops on hold. Yang Yuan has already entered the game and he cannot withdraw."

Shangguan Luo turned around and pointed at the map, saying, "Whether Yang Yuan wants to fight to the death with the Pseudo-Jin or just wants to take over Shaanxi, the Jin Kingdom will go all out as long as we don't have to worry about it."

Shangguan Luo smiled slightly: "Yang Yuan wants to use the fake Jin's knife to cut the flesh of our Great Jin. We are now using the fake Jin's knife to weaken his Song country's capital."

Li Qinglu said worriedly, "If we refuse to send troops, will the Song Kingdom stop our military aid?"

Shangguan Luo said: "Now our Great Jin is no longer in a situation where we cannot survive without the military aid of Song.

Besides, we in the Great Jin are not idle. I will find a way to give an explanation to the Song State."

At this point, Shangguan Luo smiled at Wanyan Ping and Li Qinglu and said, "Three years, at the latest three years, within three years, our Great Jin will be like wolves and tigers, and will march south in full force.

The Pseudo-Jin and our Great Jin are of the same origin. As long as we defeat it, it will be very easy to annex it.

Then, with the momentum of our great victory, we continued southward, crossed the Yellow River, crossed the Yangtze River, and destroyed the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. "

"By then, your teacher Yang will be a piece of meat on the chopping board, at your mercy!"

Teacher Yang...become the meat on my chopping board?
Hiss~~It seems to be even more exciting!

Wanyan Ping and Li Qinglu were persuaded by Shangguan Luo.

After seeing off Wanyan Ping and Li Qinglu, Shangguan Luo returned to his signing room.

Soon, a woman was brought in.

This woman is not extremely beautiful, but she is very charming, the kind of charm that is full of wildness.

She was not dressed like an ordinary woman. The style of her clothes and the ornaments she wore told others that she was a noble shaman.

Although she was not wearing the formal hat, robe and boots that she wore during the shamanic dance, and her face was not painted or wearing a mask, she still had a touch of the mystery of a shaman.

"Miss Zhuzhu, please take a seat."

Shangguan Luo smiled and gestured to Wuda Youzhuzhu to sit down.

Zhuzhu sat down with a sullen expression: "I have already followed your request and persuaded the Tatars to believe that Nawuer is the king of the grassland and accept his alliance rule. What else do you want to do?"

Shangguan Luo smiled and said, "Let the Tatars provoke a war against our Great Jin in the name of revenge."

Shangguan Luo picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "You can use the oracle to tell them that they will not suffer any loss in this battle because of the blessing of Changshengtian."

Shangguan Luo took a sip of tea and said happily: "We in the Great Jin need a perfect excuse to avoid getting involved in the disputes in the Central Plains."

Wuda Youzhuzhu and Father Mark preached extensively in the Northeast and the grasslands according to the new doctrines and rituals they had invented.

Shamanism does not have a large and cohesive organization like the other major religions, but it has always been full of vitality.

There are traces of shamans in the history of every nation in the world.

Today, the improved Shamanism has suddenly exploded with a powerful infectious power, and the speed of preaching among the people is faster than the plague.

How could the Jin Dynasty's Yiluansi be unaware of such a large-scale mission? After Shangguan Luo learned about the whereabouts of Wuda Youzhuzhu and Father Mark, he immediately sent a secret agent from the Yiluansi to infiltrate their Great Shamanism and become a believer.

The quality of these secret agents was naturally hundreds of times better than that of ordinary people, so they were quickly valued by Wuda Youzhuzhu.

Among the twelve divine messengers of the Great Shamanism, four came from the Yiluansi of the Jin Kingdom.

Then, Wuda Youzhuzhu was secretly taken to the Yiluansi and met Shangguan Luo.

Behind Shangguan Luo is the New Jin Empire, a huge imperial army.

Even if Wuda Youzhuzhu launched a rebellion immediately, she might not be able to deal with the well-trained officers and soldiers, not to mention that she had lost the initiative.

Therefore, under a series of conditions, including Shangguan Luo's promise not to interfere with her missionary work and not to exercise further control over the Great Shamanism, Wuda Youzhuzhu was forced to choose to "cooperate" with him.

Of course, she still had considerable freedom. If she wanted to cause a fight to the death and spark riots among the people, it would not be easy for the Jin Dynasty either.

However, she was at a disadvantage after all, and most of the time, she could only follow Shangguan Luo's arrangements and provide convenience for Shangguan Luo.

At this moment, Shangguan Luo was already an important official of the Jin Kingdom, and also a close friend and confidant of Crown Prince Wanyan Hongkang. He was still quite confident that he could persuade the Jin Kingdom to keep its troops in place.

But if he had the cooperation of Wudayouzhuzhu, his intention would certainly be easier to achieve.

After hearing what Shangguan Luo said, Wuda Youzhuzhu had no choice but to agree.

The two discussed secretly for a long time before Shangguan Luo asked someone to quietly send the Wudayou beads away.

When the study was quiet and empty, Shangguan Luo turned the brush in his hand and smiled complacently.

"You want me to be led by the nose by you? When you left, you arranged everything clearly for a dog, but you abandoned me, Shangguan Luo, like a worn-out shoe.

Yang Yuan, ah Yang Yuan, how can I make you happy?

One day, I will make you kneel down and beg me, and confess your cruelty to me!"

Shangguan Luo pursed his thin lips and a smug smile appeared on his face, very bright.

……

After the news that Tatar soldiers entered Shaanxi and assisted the Jin Kingdom in fighting against the Song army reached Lin'an, Shao Hongyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Huaixi imperial army, and Li Xianzhong, the commander-in-chief of the Huaidong imperial army, wrote letters to the court at the same time.

They requested the Song army on the Lianghuai front to change its defensive posture to an offensive one in order to tie down the main force of the Jin army and reduce the pressure on the Song army on the Shaanxi battlefield.

However, the young emperor decisively kept this memorial.

The strategy set by the late emperor cannot be changed.

This is what the court means.

Previously, on the battlefield of Western Xia, the armies of Liu and Wu advanced rashly and almost brought down the anti-Xia strategy that the Song Dynasty had been preparing for five years. Could the same mistake be repeated on the battlefield of Lianghuai?

Once the Song army in Lianghuai took the initiative to attack but was defeated on the battlefield, the Jin army would move south and, relying on the speed of its cavalry, could reach Lin'an overnight.

By then, the Song Dynasty would be put in a passive position. Not only would the battlefield in Shaanxi be in chaos, but the good situation of the entire Song Dynasty would be lost.

Anyone can only make a prediction about what will happen in the future.

No one can say that the government’s concerns will never become reality.

Taking it step by step is just one option, and there is no way to prove that it is wrong now.

Therefore, even the Goose King could not question the government's decision.

Especially in the next year, the little emperor will take charge of the government.

Zhao Ju was originally a lazy prince who had no interest in power, so at this time he could not question the emperor's seemingly impeccable choice.

Therefore, the proposal of the Lianghuai commander-in-chief was shelved indefinitely.

Not only was the opinion of the Lianghuai commander-in-chief shelved, but even Li Dao, the commander-in-chief of the Ezhou Military Region, was ordered by the imperial court to stop crossing the river and switch to full defense.

The emperor's intention was that Western Xia had already been taken, and according to the strategy set by the previous emperor, once Western Xia was conquered, it would take another two years to manage Western Xia, and then attack Jin from five routes, namely Western Xia, Hanzhong, Ezhou, Lianghuai, and the sea, and use the whole country's strength to carry out a war of recovery.

However, according to the previous emperor's established strategy, Western Xia was conquered.

The State of Song would therefore lose a great deal of manpower and material resources, and of course it would take time to recover.

But now that Western Xia had taken the initiative to surrender, the Song Dynasty had not lost that much manpower and material resources.

This situation is different from the conditions referenced in the established national policy.

However, the young emperor insisted on his own opinion and he used the former emperor's name as a cover.

The war situation in Western Xia was precarious before, which was obviously caused by the death of the old commander Wu Lin on the battlefield and the military supervisor Zhao Yi's underestimation of the enemy and reckless advance. However, the young emperor turned a deaf ear to all these changes.

What a slippery old military leader Li Dao is?
When Qin Hui was trying to crack down on Yue Fei, he was able to escape from Yue's army unscathed and was still highly valued by the court. Qin Hui never caused trouble for him.

People like this have very good eyesight.

He had already vaguely seen the court's true intentions, so he immediately withdrew his troops, retreated south of the Yangtze River, and entered a defensive posture.

"Dad, my second uncle is a tiger that can't defeat a pack of wolves in Shaanxi. Why don't we fight him here?"

The army retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, so Li Dao had time to return home.

As soon as he returned home, he was questioned by the hot-tempered Li Fengniang.

Li Dao said with a serious face: "What second uncle? His last name is Yang, and mine is Li. Don't make it so close."

Li Dao was like a scumbag, and he quickly distanced himself from Yang Yuan: "My girl, the emperor will be in power next year.

Once the emperor takes power, the harem cannot be without a master, and the imperial court will issue an order to select concubines from all over the country and bring them to the capital to be selected."

Li Dao said happily: "In our dynasty, family background is the most important factor in selecting a queen. Among family backgrounds, the daughters of military generals are the best.

Our family is the one that best meets the criteria, and you are beautiful, so you have a great chance of being chosen as queen.

Dad has registered your name, you can choose a day to go to the capital to participate in the selection."
