Chapter 154
2 Difficult Choices
Chapter 154 Dilemma
Wanyan Zonghan stood at the entrance of the tent, looking at the pouring raindrops outside, he was also entangled in his heart.
It's all to blame for the goddamn bad weather. It was originally a clear sky, but suddenly it rained heavily.
Siege on a rainy day is extremely detrimental to the siege side. Wanyan Zonghan wanted to order to give up the siege, but at this time, giving up the siege was equivalent to giving up the previous hard work.
After all, fighting is about killing people. Those who attacked the city before ordered to withdraw their troops at this time, and they died in vain. Moreover, if they withdraw their troops now, if they want to attack and open the closed city, they can only attack by force, losing the effect of this surprise victory. .
But if you don't order a retreat, the difficulty of attacking the city is too great due to the heavy rain now, and there will be many casualties.
This is a dilemma.
"If you want me to say, I still order to tear it down first. With such heavy rain, we can't attack at all!"
After Wan Yanchang gulped several jars of wine, the heat flowed down his throat and entered his stomach, and he immediately felt the warmth all over his body, dispelling the severe cold of the cold rain a lot.
"If this continues, the casualties will be too great."
Wanyan Zonghan was also struggling in his heart. At this time, the tent was opened again, and a person held a piece of paper in his arms, and walked in happily from the outside.
"Daddy, this Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Contest has produced another excellent work!"
The person who came was Wanyan Simin, the eldest daughter of Wanyan Zonghan, who strongly demanded to attack Song Dynasty with Wanyan Zonghan this time.
Although Wanyan Simin is a girl, she has high martial arts skills and has reached the level of a seventh-rank master. The key is that this girl is also very smart, so Wanyan Zonghan brought her to him.
"Hmph! When is this? Why are you still reading poems from Song Dynasty?"
Wan Yanchang couldn't help but sarcastically said at this time.
Wanyan Simin glanced at Wanyanchang, said with a smile:
"General Talan, this statement is wrong. If you want to defeat a nation, you must understand a nation. There is a saying in Song Dynasty, which is called knowing yourself and knowing the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles..."
"Heh! If the people of Song Dynasty were really so powerful, they wouldn't be attacked by our Jin soldiers now!"
Wanyanchang interrupted what Wanyan Simin said, and said with a look of disdain.
In the beginning, the Jurchen tribe of the slave society had indeed worshiped the highly civilized and developed Song Dynasty culture for a long time, and even sent many people to learn the culture of the Song Dynasty.
At that time, Da Song was the old predecessor of Jin, but all of this fell apart when the two sides jointly attacked Liao.
The Liao army, which was vulnerable in front of the Jin State, was exceptionally brave in the process of confronting the Song army in turn.
Originally, the two parties agreed that the Song Dynasty would attack the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures. After the attack, the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures would belong to the Song Dynasty.
Who knew that Tong Guan led someone to beat him, but he couldn't beat him at all.
There is no way, the Youyun Sixteen States can only be fought by the people of the Jin Kingdom, and if it is said that the Liao Kingdom is at its end, Song must also be disgusted.
Facing the attack of the Song Dynasty, the Liao army, which stubbornly resisted, surrendered directly after the Jin people came.
Maybe the people of Liao Kingdom also feel very angry. I can bear it when the powerful enemy Jin Guo comes to beat me. Now Song, who was pressed and rubbed by him on the ground before, dares to come and beat him. We must show him some color.
Therefore, Tong Guan couldn't attack Youzhou City for a long time, and could only wait for the Jin people to help them take down Youzhou City, and then the Song Dynasty bought the land of Youyun from the Jin people.
Only at this time did the Jin people realize that Da Song was a paper tiger, a fool with a lot of money.
When the sense of mystery disappears, the sense of worship also disappears.
"General Dalan, there is a saying in the Song Dynasty that it is easy to conquer the country, but difficult to control the country. Now that the Dajin Kingdom has been established, we lack experience in governing the country, but the Great Song Dynasty has made great achievements in this area. This is exactly what we need. A place to study."
Wanyan Simin retorted.
"Have experience in governing the country? Then we are suppressing and beating you now? Even the capital is about to be breached by us!"
Wan Yanchang said very disdainfully.
"This is a problem with the Song court, not a problem with the culture of the Han nationality. The Han nationality has been passed down for thousands of years. From the powerful Qin Dynasty to the Han and Tang Dynasties, every era has been so powerful that it has become a tribute to the surrounding countries... ..."
Wan Yanchang didn't know much about the history of the Great Song Dynasty, so when he heard what Wan Yan Simin said, he waved his hand and said:
"Don't tell me these things are useless, I only know that the current Song Dynasty is vulnerable!"
"Learning the poetry and songs of such a country will sooner or later make the powerful Dajin Kingdom go downhill!"
Wanyan Simin nodded, and had to say that this woman, no, girl, she hasn't been raped yet, maybe she's just waiting for the big guys who are reading a book to help her.
She is very smart, she is not angry with Wan Yanchang's rebuttal, but said with a smile:
"What General Dalan said is very true, so when we study the culture of the Han Dynasty, we must extract the essence and discard the dross. I didn't say this, it's just..."
"Stop!"
Wan Yanchang didn't want to talk too much on this topic, he really had a feeling of "don't listen, don't listen, just chant the scriptures".
"Since you admire the culture of the Great Song Dynasty so much, why don't you tell us about the current situation, should we continue to attack, or should we withdraw our troops?"
There was a sneer on the corner of Wanyanchang's mouth, even Wanyan Zonghan didn't have any good solution to this problem, aren't you awesome?Then you can answer.
Wanyan Zonghan frowned, this Wanyanchang, isn't this an obvious bullying.
"Dalan, how can it be such a trifling matter..."
Wanyan Zonghan protects his daughter. If he makes a mistake at this time, he will be held accountable.
Wanyan Simin was not dissatisfied at all, she said with a smile:
"Of course we have to continue fighting, how can we withdraw our troops?"
Wan Yanchang sneered and said:
"Continue to fight? Do you know how heavy the casualties of the soldiers attacking the city are now under such heavy rain?"
Wanyan Simin nodded and said:
"But if we withdraw, all the casualties in front will be dead in vain, and after the Song army is prepared, if we try to sneak attack and attack the city, it will lose its effect."
"Let the soldiers in front hold on for a while..."
"Hold on for a while? How long is a session? Do you know how many soldiers will be killed or injured every time you breathe?"
Wan Yanchang is the royal clan of the Kingdom of Jin, the son of Wanyan Yingge of Jin Muzong, a famous general of the Kingdom of Jin, with great military exploits, the reason why Wanyan Zonghan was appointed as the deputy general is also a kind of check and balance of Wanyan Wu begging against the clan generals.
Now Wanyanchang hopes that Wanyan Zonghan can make mistakes, and then he can take the opportunity to gain command of the army.
