Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

"Officials, those tens of thousands of forbidden troops are guarding the capital! If they are transferred, what if there is any danger in the capital?" an official said.

The only standing army that can still be spared is the imperial army guarding Lin'an Prefecture, the capital of the Song Dynasty. But if this army is deployed, who will protect the safety of Lin'an Prefecture?

"Let them go to the front line to fight for me! Lin'an Prefecture only has a few thousand troops left. It is impossible for the enemy to cross the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and come to attack Lin'an Prefecture." Zhao Yun waved his hand and said.

There was no way, he was not a fool. Although he ascended to the throne because of an accident, it did not mean that he was an emperor who was just waiting to die.

Zhao Yun knew very clearly that the land of Sichuan and Shu could be regained quickly now. If it takes a long time, once the King of Guanzhong is given time, he will definitely manage the land of Sichuan and Shu carefully.

Even turning the land of Sichuan and Shu into their own base, the Song Dynasty will have no chance at all.

The King of Guanzhong has Mongolia at his back, and Mongolia has never lacked war horses. Coupled with the supply of food and grass in Sichuan and Shu, this cavalry will be invincible.

"Please give the officials a second thought! I'm afraid there's something wrong with this matter." Shi Miyuan frowned and said.

If the Forbidden Army is transferred away now, what if something happens again, or even if the Mongols attack the Jin Kingdom and send their troops south. So what can they do to resist?

These forbidden troops should be kept just in case. If the Mongols attack the Yangtze River, they will be asked to guard the natural dangers of the Yangtze River!

"But if we don't send them, we won't be able to attack Sichuan until next spring. Will we still have a chance next spring?" Zhao Yun shook his head helplessly and said.

"Your Majesty! Soldiers are a major matter for the country. We must not act rashly. In the past few years, we have supported Xixia, attacked the Jin Kingdom, and allied with the Jin Kingdom to attack Guanzhong. The country has suffered from wars for many years, and now the people have complained. If there is a new war, the Song Dynasty will not be able to withstand it." Shi Miyuan shook his head and said.

As soon as the most powerful minister in the court spoke, all the civil and military officials present began to follow Shi Miyuan's lead.

"Official, I second the proposal."

"Master Shi is right! Officials, we can't act rashly. The most important thing now is to let people guard Xiangyang.

To prevent the Mongols from coming for a sneak attack, and to strengthen the Yangtze River defense line, I hope the Jin people can resist for a while longer! "Another civil servant stood up and said.

"The officials must not resort to war rashly on this matter."

"What about our alliance with the Kingdom of Jin? Should we follow the original plan and let General Meng sneak attack the Kingdom of Jin and wait for an opportunity to seize the Central Plains?" Zhao Yun asked.

There is no way, the arm cannot twist the thigh. Now all the civil and military officials in the dynasty do not want to start a war and fight the Mongols.

The most important thing is that if Shi Miyuan disagrees, there is no need to discuss this matter.

To regain the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, even if he, the emperor, wants to speak, he can't do anything because his power has not been extended yet!

In this case, no matter what you say, it is useless, so now you can tell what the Jin Kingdom has to say.

"Guan Family! If the Jin Kingdom and the Mongols are evenly matched, we will temporarily support the Jin Kingdom and let the Jin Kingdom continue to fight the Mongols. We, the Song Dynasty, can develop ourselves and restore some vitality."

It has been two months since Mongolia began to attack the Jin Kingdom. In these two months, except for the beginning.

The Mongols broke through Tongguan almost overwhelmingly. After that, the Mongols suddenly froze.

The 10 troops sent by the Song Dynasty and the troops improvised by the Jin Kingdom actually successfully blocked the fierce offensive of the Mongols. Now the war has been dragged into a stalemate and the two sides have fallen into a stalemate.

In this case, the balance of victory does not seem to be completely tilted to the Mongolian side.

This situation made them miserable throughout the Song Dynasty. It's incredible that the Mongols are so powerful. The Song Dynasty and the Mongols fought twice outside, and they were beaten to the point of running away.

As a result, the Jin people can actually fight with Mongolia back and forth, which has to be surprising!

"What if the Jingguo people show signs of defeat? Do we need reinforcements?" Zhao Yun asked.

"No no! Officials! I can't wait for the Jin Kingdom to send reinforcements. If the Jin Kingdom shows its defeat, then we will quickly occupy some areas in the Central Plains. Then set up fortifications on the spot.

Although the land of Sichuan and Shu was lost, it would be good if we could gain some areas of the Central Plains. "A civil servant said.

The land of Sichuan and Shu was indeed lost, but just like what the Jin Kingdom did back then, the Jin Kingdom lost its north to its south.

And since they have lost the land of Sichuan and Shu, if the Jin people are really defeated and unable to recover, they can also take the opportunity to take back some of their homeland.

In general, the meaning is very simple. If the Jin Kingdom is completely hopeless, then they can take the opportunity to make up for it and seize some land back. There is no need to desperately support the Jin Kingdom and put all their capital on the Jin Kingdom. On the Chinese people.

If the Jin people can bear it, then they will provide appropriate support to the Jin people so that the Jin people can fight with the Mongols like this. Only then will the Song Dynasty have the opportunity to take back the land of Sichuan and Shu, and even seize the land of Guanzhong.

"Your Majesty, we can have people transport some grain and grass to supply the Kingdom of Jin, so that the Kingdom of Jin will have no worries about food and grass, but we will no longer provide excess troops to the Kingdom of Jin.

Tell them that we suffered another major defeat in Sichuan and Sichuan, and now we really have no troops. "

"My dear friends, do you all mean this?" Zhao Yun looked around at the civil and military ministers in the court and asked helplessly.

What kind of bullshit method is this? This is completely putting the fate of one's country in the hands of others. It would be best if the Jin people could fight Mongolia vigorously.

Drag the Mongolian army to the north, and then they can take the opportunity to recuperate, and then send a large army to attack the Sichuan and Shu lands.

But if the Jin people are defeated, they will stab the Jin people in the back, then grab the land from the Jin people, and then rely on these lands for defense.

In field battles, they really couldn't defeat the Mongolian army, nor the Jin army, but when it came to defending the city, their Song army was very powerful.

If it is a city defense battle, they still hope to win. Now they can only hope that the Jin Kingdom can withstand the Mongolian attack.

In the end, the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty came up with a solution that was not a solution.

That is to continue to support the Jin Kingdom first, hoping that the Jin people can fight with the Mongols on the front line and consume the strength of the Mongolian army.

On the other side of the Chengdu Mansion, several days had passed since Zhang Yong's return, and Zhang Yong also attended these banquets of local nobles as promised.

The banquet area is the largest restaurant in Chengdu Prefecture, located on the periphery of the restaurant.

Zhang Yong had already sent hundreds of soldiers to investigate in advance. After confirming that there was no danger, Zhang Yong set off.

After all, my identity is different now, so I have to be careful about everything.

There were more than a dozen tables set up for this banquet. In addition to Zhang Yong, some generals under Zhang Yong also came to the scene, and a large number of soldiers stood outside.

"Hahaha! The great presence of the King of Guanzhong really makes me shine. And all the generals, come to your table quickly, come to your table quickly." A large group of clan chiefs from Sichuan and Sichuan immediately came to Zhang Yong and said They bowed their hands and greeted each other with smiles.

"You are so polite, clan leaders! In the future, I will need to rely on you more to develop in the land of Sichuan and Sichuan." Zhang Yong said with a smile.

"King of Guanzhong, you're welcome. It's us who need to rely more on King of Guanzhong! Come here! Serve the food! Serve the food!" Soon Zhang Yong was greeted by a large group of group leaders and sat down at his table.

"King of Guanzhong, please try some. These are the famous dishes of my land of Sichuan and Sichuan. This is the best cured ham, this is the freshly killed veal, the river fish from the river, and the best venison."

Under the warm hospitality of a large group of sub-group leaders, Zhang Yong began to taste these dishes one by one. To be honest, taste-wise.

The dishes fried in the Southern Song Dynasty are indeed not as delicious as modern dishes because there are not so many seasonings! But the taste of the raw materials and some pure natural nutrients make the dishes of this era even better.

Zhang Yong picked up a piece of meat that he didn't know what it was and took a bite. Fresh and tender. No fishy smell at all.

But Zhang Yong tasted it a bit strange. It didn't look like pork or beef. Instead, it looked a bit like the bear meat he had eaten before, but it was more delicate.

"What kind of meat is this?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Hahaha! The King of Guanzhong doesn't know something. This is a specialty of our land of Sichuan and Shu. Apart from this land of Sichuan and Shu, this thing does not exist in other places. Guess what it is?" A man in his fifties said The old man with a mustache smiled and said.

"I really can't guess it." Zhang Yong said.

"Hahaha! Has King Guanzhong ever heard of it? The Battle of Zhulu was the battle between Emperor Xuanyuan and Chi You."

"I have heard of this. This is the ancient battle of our Chinese civilization. How could I not know about it!" Zhang Yong said.

"Chi You has a mount. This beast is very ferocious. It is a ferocious beast in the forest. It is called the iron-eating beast. This iron-eating beast was born in the bamboo forest. It is extremely ferocious and can fight tigers, leopards, and wolves." The wealthy businessman who just spoke laughed. He smiled and said.

This stone iron beast was specially caught from the mountains and forests. Zhang Yong's eyes widened when he heard this. Iron-eating beasts, aren't iron-eating beasts just round and round?

Damn, you guys are so tortured! This is a national treasure! However, it seems that it was not considered a national treasure in the Song Dynasty.

"Ahem! You are interested." Zhang Yong waved his hand and said.

"If King Guanzhong likes it, I will catch some more for you."

"Forget it, I really don't like the meat of this thing. You can just taste it. I still like venison." Zhang Yong said.

"Hahaha! The prince has a noble status and should indeed eat the best venison." To them, this sentence means that the king of Guanzhong wants to compete for deer in the world!

It seems to be telling them that if Song Dynasty loses its deer, the whole world will chase it away. The ambition of this Guanzhong king is indeed not small, and they must invest appropriately.

"It's just fine wine and delicious food, how can it not be accompanied by a dancer?" The leader of a large group clapped his hands, and several musicians who had been prepared in advance immediately played music.

Then a dozen tall women in costumes came out and began to dance in the central venue.

Zhang Yong and a group of dignitaries and generals were eating leeks and admiring the dancing of these dancers.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, time passed quickly. At this time, the sky outside had darkened unconsciously.

"King of Guanzhong! You have come to our land of Sichuan and Shu, and you are tired from the journey. I have a daughter at home and send it to the king of Guanzhong. How about taking care of the king of Guanzhong's daily life in the land of Sichuan and Shu?" A big patriarch of Sichuan and Shu named Xue said. .

"Oh! I already have a wife. Isn't this inappropriate?" Zhang Yong said.

"If my daughter can become a concubine of the King of Guanzhong, she will be satisfied. If she stays with the prince, the prince will definitely not treat her badly." The old man surnamed Xue who just spoke said.

"Your Majesty, I also have a daughter in my family. She is very beautiful, and I am willing to offer her to the King of Guanzhong." Seeing that someone wanted to give the woman away, all the patriarchs of the wealthy families present could not sit still.

Judging from the tone of some of the conversations just now, the King of Guanzhong vaguely wanted to aspire to the throne, and was not as loyal to Mongolia as they imagined.

That being the case, why not make a bet in advance? If a daughter is born in their family, it would be good even if she becomes an ordinary concubine in the future.

Even think bigger, if this Guanzhong King can be crowned a great treasure in the future.

Then the women who contributed to their family might not have a chance to fight for that position.

Even if you can't win, it's still good to become an ordinary noble concubine.

At least they can show sincerity to the King of Guanzhong and prove that they are willing to stand by the King of Guanzhong.

"Since you said so, then select the two with the best appearance and send them to my residence." Zhang Yong said with a hint of wine.

It doesn't matter if the family is full of foreign wives. The only one with a stronger Han bloodline is Xiaoyun.

No matter what, I have to marry a few pure Han women back home. Since you sent them here, I won't be polite.

"Hahaha! So good, so good."

That night, several big families conducted a selection process and selected two daughters of the rich families with the most prominent backgrounds and the most beautiful looks, and sent them to the palace of the King of Guanzhong.

These two women were both dressed in beautiful work clothes, very beautifully dressed, and their appearance was also extremely beautiful.

The two women are not tall, they can only be considered medium-sized. They are not as tall as the foreign wives at home.

"Which family do you come from?" With a hint of alcohol, Zhang Yong came to the bedside, held the two girls in his arms, and asked.

To be honest, it has been more than three months since the attack on Tongguan began, and Zhang Yong is still feeling angry! And I drank a lot today.

"Guan, King of Guanzhong! I, I am the daughter of the Xue family in Chengdu, come here to serve the prince." The woman on the right was obviously a little scared, her body was trembling slightly, and she spoke very nervously.

"Well! What about you?" Zhang Yong looked at the other woman and asked.

"Reporting to the prince! My daughter is the daughter of the Cui family in Jiading Prefecture. I hope the prince will take good care of her in the future." The woman on the left seemed very calm.

Looking back at Zhang Yongmei, she smiled, even stood up and made a blessing before speaking.

"You two will be my wife and concubines from today on. When things here are done, I will take you back to Guanzhong Jingzhao Mansion." Zhang Yong said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Have mercy."

"Yeah! You two come over and serve me to bed."

The two women immediately stood up, came to Zhang Yong's side one on the left and the other on the right, and began to help Zhang Yong wash up and wait for Zhang Yong to rest.

That night, Zhang Yong very enthusiastically invited two girls to compete in poker skills and taught them to play Landlords for a night.

The two women worked as farmers and joined forces to fight the landlord Zhang Yong.

As a result, the two girls suffered from a serious lack of sleep during the day and had to make up for their sleep in the room.

Time flies by like this, and in the blink of an eye, two and a half months have passed since Zhang Yong entered Sichuan.

In these two and a half months, Zhang Yong had completely captured the entire Sichuan and Sichuan lands, and the border area already bordered the Dali Kingdom in Yunnan.

In addition, some civil servants transferred from Guanzhong also arrived one after another and took up posts in Sichuan and Shu.

Zhang Yong also promoted some local officials in Sichuan and Sichuan, but they were transferred from their original positions.

In the past half month, Zhang Yong finally stabilized the land of Sichuan and Shu.

He stabilized those aristocratic families and cleaned up some southern families, especially the southern branch families in Hanzhong.

At this time, the weather has reached June, the temperature has begun to rise, and the first summer harvest in Sichuan and Sichuan has also begun.

"You have to be busy with your work. In a few days, I will lead 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry back to the land of Guanzhong." Zhang Yong said after arranging some tasks for his men.

The next step is to arrange some defense forces in Sichuan and Shu, especially in Hanzhong. Some additional troops must be deployed, at least 10,000 people.

Then there are two places that also need to deploy some troops. Chengdu and Chongqing should not be less, each with 5,000 troops.

As for Tongchuan Prefecture and Jiading Prefecture, one or two thousand troops can be left behind symbolically.

"My lord, are you planning to return to Guanzhong at this time and then participate in the war against the Kingdom of Jin?" a counselor next to Zhang Yong said.

When he first entered Sichuan and Sichuan, Zhang Yong recruited some civilian officials and military staff.

Most of these staff handle ordinary military affairs.

And this scribe was one of them, named Tao Jie.

"Hmm! I thought that after conquering Tongguan, we would be able to conquer the enemy like never before? But I didn't expect that the war in the Kingdom of Jin was not ideal. I have to go and have a look." Zhang Yong said.

The situation was not as one-sided as he and Ogedai thought. The war was one-sided. With the support of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia actually formed a tug of war at this time.

"In my opinion, the King of Guanzhong, if you can delay it, it is best to stay in the land of Sichuan and Shu first, rather than returning to the land of Guanzhong to join the Mongolian-Jin war." Tao Jie came to Zhang Yong, gritted his teeth, and spoke said.
