On the night of the 11th, when the battlefield in Texas was still fierce, Yelu Yuji returned to the Shijian Mountain Military Camp.
"How is it? Yelu Foding is willing to join Dajin?" Wanyan Ta asked impatiently.
“He asked for a very high price.”
Before Yelu Yuji finished speaking, Wanyan Talan interrupted him, "It's okay, you promised him, give him whatever he wants. Didn't you say that you promised him all the conditions. When the battle is over, we conquer Xijing, and some things are left unto him, we have the final say."
Wanyan's mother coughed quickly, stopping Wanyan Talan. If the Jurchens want to stabilize the territory they occupy in the shortest time, keeping their promises is the minimum condition. Even if the Jurchens are willing to eliminate the surrendered Khitans one by one, they have to wait until the north stabilizes. Wanyan Talan's words are inappropriate and very inappropriate.
Wanyan Talan realized that he was straightforward and exposed his original intention if he was not careful.
Yelu Yuji was also a surrendered Khitan, and he had heavy troops in his hand. The Jurchens would sooner or later kill him. Today he could surrender to the Jurchens, so who would be sure that he would not surrender to other kingdoms tomorrow? This is not a rabbit and a dog cook, or a donkey, but a precaution against troubles before it happens. But this is a matter in the future. Now the Jurchens need Yelu Yuji very much. This is a big banner. With his existence, a large number of Khitans can surrender, and the Jurchens can therefore sweep across Liaodong and the desert.
Yelu Yuji's face was very tired, and he couldn't tell how he reacted to this sentence.
"Yelu Buddha's request is basically within our expectations. On behalf of the Duke, I agreed to him, and he also agreed to turn against Yelu Mage in the last battle. However, he needed the Duke's promise and written promise."
"This cunning old thing, will I, the Jurchens, go back on my word?" Wanyan Talan snorted coldly.
Yelu Yuji also sneered secretly. You Jurchens are the most shameless rebellious slave in the world. If you hadn't been treason and rebellion, how could I have fallen into this desperate situation today? "I want to go to the camp immediately." Yelu Yuji was too lazy to look at the disgusting face opposite him again, and turned around and left.
"Send a team of elite cavalry to escort." Talai said to Wanyan's mother. "Be sure to ensure safety."
Yelu Yujiu took two steps and suddenly turned around and asked, "Is there any news from Texas?"
"There is fierce fighting in Xuande City." Wanyan Ta said fiercely with a lazy look on his face. "Li Hu and Yelu Ma Ge launched another attack."
Yelu Yuji was shocked. I was not in Dezhou. Will Wanyan Olu and Wanyan Loushi send our local people into the tiger's mouth and let the enemy slaughter it? Thinking of this, he was anxious and rushed out of the tent and ran away.
Shijian Mountain is about fifty miles away from the Jin army commander camp. It is flying all the way and it arrives in more than half an hour.
In the handsome tent, Wanyan Gao's face turned pale. The brothers Wanyan Zonggan and Wanyan Zongwang stood in front of him and were having a fierce argument.
Wanyan Zongwang was very angry and expressed his discomfort that Wanyan Gao ordered him to withdraw from the battlefield in Fengshengzhou. His view of the entire Daibei battle situation was the same as Zong Han, who believed that the current situation was too much resistance to capture Xijing under the current circumstances. The correct way should be to take the lead in capturing Fengshengzhou and take Juyong Pass.
He asked Wanyan Gao whether it was important to comply with the emperor's imperial edict or to ensure the future of Dajin?
It takes time to send the changes in the Daibei War to Huanglong Mansion. When the emperor and his ministers agreed on countermeasures, the Daibei War had already changed. Therefore, Zong Wang believed that the prerequisites for the emperor to attack Xijing had changed. Now the target of the Jin army should not be Xijing, but the entire Daibei battlefield and Youyan battlefield. Decisions should be made from the overall situation.
Wanyan Gao was so angry that his eyes turned red. He was always dissatisfied with Zong Wang. In his eyes, Zong Wang was arrogant and domineering with his military achievements, and his eyes grew to the top of his head. No one cared about it. What made him resentful was that Zong Wang and Zong Han were often surprisingly consistent in military decision-making, and Zong Wang always absolutely supported Zong Han and ignored his own face. Zong Han was the son of Sagai, and Sagai was one of the leaders of several large tribes who were in charge of Jurchen power. Sagai was dead. His position and power were inherited by Zong Han, but the authority of the Great Jin Kingdom could not be shared with people outside the royal family for a long time, and the power center could not always be in the form of alliances. Sooner or later, this would change. The power struggle has always been bloody and cruel. Zong Wang, as the royal family, should be able to understand this and keep a proper distance from Zong Han, but Zong Wang did his own thing and ignored the warnings of his uncles and brothers.
Wanyan Zong was a peacemaker in the middle, one was his uncle and the other was his younger brother. It was not good to help anyone, so he could only mix with him.
Wanyan Gao had his reasons. He could also control the initiative in the battlefield at the fastest speed, but the biggest difference between the two was Li Hu. Wanyan Gao believed that Li Hu could not resist the Jin army, and Zong Wang believed that Li Hu could definitely stop it.
"If we fail to take Xijing in the short term, or after the Song army conquered Yanjing, can you still control the initiative on the battlefield?" Zong Wang asked, "If the Song army seized Juyong Pass in front of us, who controlled the initiative on the battlefield?"
Zong Wang fought with Li Hu. At that time, Li Hu had not yet grown wings, but he first showed his sharp fangs. Now Li Hu is full of wings. He is lying in Xijing and has an army of more than 100,000. He has long been reborn. Now it is different. If the Jurchens still look at people with old eyes and regard him as a bandit of the past, it would be a big mistake and would suffer a great loss.
"When Li Hu was in western Liaoning, he was engaged in all parties and repeatedly gained profits. The same was true in the Daibei battlefield today. All forces flocked to it, which looked dangerous, but for Li Hu, it was a good thing." Zong Wang said, "Now the Khitan emperors still had a vast desert. The Dangxiang people's army had already advanced to the Yellow River. The Song people were eyeing the south. Yelu Chun of Yanjing tightly held Li Hu in order to survive. Everyone was aiming at Daibei and Li Hu. At this time, we came in a fierce manner, which not only threatened Li Hu's survival, but also the Khitans, Dangxiang people and the Song people. Therefore, once we made a wrong decision, the opponents of the Jin army were not only Li Hu and Khitans, but also Dangxiang people and the Song people."
Zong Wang stared at Wanyan Gao and asked without hesitation: "Now Li Hu and the Khitans have joined forces. If Li Hu joins forces with the Dangxiang people and the Song people, will we have the strength to deal with four opponents at the same time?"
Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zonggan understood that Zong Wang's meaning was very obvious. He fought Fengshengzhou and Juyongguan, first cut off the connection between Yelu Chun and Li Hu, and then trapped Li Hu and prevented him from forming an alliance with all parties to fight Jin together.
"We rushed to fight quickly and defeated Li Hu and captured Xijing. The momentum was too strong. Whether it was the Shubu people in the desert, the Ugu enemy lie, the Dangxiang people, or even the Song people, they would feel threatened by us. They might join forces to attack, drive us out of Daibei and trap us in Liaodong."
"On the contrary, if Li Hu is left behind, Daibei will be very chaotic and the situation will be different." Zong Wang said, "We can form an alliance with the Shubu people in the desert and the enemy lie in Wugu, attack the Khitan people from front and back, and completely exterminate them. We can form an alliance with the Daxia and attack Li Hu with the Dangxiang people. We had an alliance with the Dasong Song, but now they can only recover Youyan. If they want to recover Jiuzhou behind the mountain, they will have to go to war with Li Hu, and we can help the Dasong and the Dasong fight Li Hu together."
"In this way, Li Hu was surrounded by enemies and his defeat was just a matter of time. We can not only harvest the desert and replace the north, but also unite with Daxia to grab the Xijing and the Jiuzhou behind the mountain. When the time is right, we will join forces with Xia to attack Song, first grab Youyan, and then go south to the Central Plains."
Wanyan Zong stopped talking. His younger brother is really a human being. No wonder his father valued him very much and protected him everywhere. He did have vision and ability.
Wanyan Gao stopped talking. Zong Han only offered advice, did not explain the reasons thoroughly. Without asking, it can be seen that when he told Zong Wang, the matter was very clear. After the Jin army attacked Fengshengzhou with its main force to seize Juyongguan, the entire battle situation was indeed completely controlled by the Jin army. This is a correct strategy, which can allow the Great Jin Kingdom to completely seize the territory of the Khitans in a very short period of time, and its strength suddenly expanded, forming a three-legged tripod with the Song and Xia.
"Does the governor still not accept it?" Zong Wang saw Wanyan Gao silent, and angrily attacked his heart, shouting loudly, "If my Great Jin Kingdom only has a corner of Liaodong in the future, can you bear this responsibility? I want to report to the emperor urgently. The governor ignored the overall situation and missed the military opportunity. I want to ask the emperor to personally fight."
Wanyan Gao was furious. He was a little jealous. When he heard Zong Wang say he wanted to ask the emperor to lead the army in person, he immediately broke out and roared at Zong Wang, and would never change his attack strategy. I don’t believe that I can’t defeat Xijing. Besides, I attacked Xijing by following the emperor’s imperial edict. I don’t listen to the emperor. If I am wrong, I will be done. But if I listen to the emperor, even if I am wrong, the responsibility is not my own.
Zong Wang was angry and left.
When Yelu Yu saw the good news, Wanyan Gao's anger was extinguished. Boy, wait, wait until I take down Xijing, I see where your face is put.
"You go back overnight and then go to meet Yelu Foding and make a specific appointment with him for the attack time." Wanyan Gao said, "In addition, tell Wanyan Talai and ask him to evacuate Shijian Mountain tomorrow morning and quickly attack Xuande City."
"Would Wanyan's lazy army retreat a little later?" Wanyan Zonggan suggested, "If Yelu Foding pretends to surrender and suddenly attacks Baishuilu from the direction of Shimajian Mountain, what should we do if the safety of the Shuaiying Camp is done?"
