"What I mean is, can we dispatch some more veteran soldiers from the east and west to exchange them?" Wulin Datai wanted to explain quickly. "For example, we can dispatch two more veteran soldiers from Taiyuan and Longde, and send two new soldiers?"

Talai instinctively wanted to agree, but ultimately chose to remain silent and just look at the two princes and other people present.

That’s right, it was exactly the same as what Yin Shuke had just said. Everyone actually knew that Wulindatai wanted to take the opportunity to expand the strength of the troops he led, but they had to admit that considering the overall situation, doing so would be more beneficial to the possible full-scale war.

Therefore, many people in the hall were tempted for a moment, and then they inevitably turned their attention to the silent Wanyan Wuben again. However, Wuben, who had always stayed by Aguda's side during the founding period and rarely led troops independently, immediately looked at his fourth brother Wuzhu, and then attracted others to look at Wuzhu as well.

There is no other way. It is really no other way. Even though Wushu was somewhat embarrassed by the Xixia incident, at this point, in terms of closeness and war experience, when Erliduo is not around, who else can he listen to? Wanyan Talan?

They want to listen to Wanyan Aguda, Wanyan Wuqimai, Wanyan Nianhan, Wanyan Wuliebu, Wanyan Loushi...what about these people?

Wuzhu was stared at by everyone and sighed, then nodded after a long while.

It is said that the Fourth Prince was not hesitant about whether this matter was feasible or not, because in his opinion, as long as it had a positive impact on the outcome of the war, no matter who put in any selfish motives, it would be acceptable... The key was to contribute to the overall situation.

The reason why he sighed was more because he felt that Wulinda Taiyu's words pointed out a helpless fact, that is, just like the south still has to rely on those generals and commanders, although the Great Jin Kingdom has reformed its system, it also has no way to bypass those Wanhu generals and those hereditary Meng'an, so that the dispatch of troops at this level must also start from the Wanhu level.

In fact, the reason why a new army was organized in Yanjing was because the restructuring of the East and West armies could not defeat those generals.

Of course, at this point, there is no point in talking about this. Emperor Zhao has already crossed the Yellow River, so why would he care so much?

Outside the hall, cicadas chirped continuously, and the meeting inside the hall continued... It can only be said that although the top leaders of the Great Jin Dynasty were declining at this moment, the people who could make decisions were still the remnants of the founding period, and these people did not have any naive or chaotic ideas about war.

Once they knew that the Zhao Song government in the south would launch a full-scale war at any time, or even within half a year at the latest, they immediately made political compromises with each other and adopted a series of countermeasures from domestic affairs to foreign affairs, from military supplies to troops without hesitation.

And it will be implemented immediately after the meeting.

Compared to the unity in Yanjing, on the south side of the Yellow River, the Zhao Song officials, who were treated as enemies, were not having a comfortable time these days as imagined. They did not show the kind of domineering attitude that was reported in the court bulletins.

In fact, since Emperor Zhao returned to Tokyo, he has been in trouble.

The problem still lies with military preparations and Lu Yihao.

Of these, there was no need to mention military preparations. The South suffered some losses, and it was always troublesome to complete the deployment of the army. And Lu Xianggong had been in Tokyo for half a month, and he had directly caused chaos in the court, which was simply not comparable to the determination of the North to unite and fight against Emperor Zhao.

On the one hand, this husband's temper made everyone uncomfortable. Not only did Zhang Jun suddenly find that he had no say in all matters, but the provincial governor also felt uncomfortable.

On the other hand, the people who were in a bad situation were certainly unwilling to accept it, especially since Emperor Zhao had not been back for a year. When he came back, he brought Lu Yihao and a hundred reserve officials with him. Who would dare to relax? Besides, Lu Yihao was not without leverage... Let's not talk about anything else. As for the Jiedushi of Guide Army, you just wanted it if the Emperor gave it to you?

As a result, impeachments continued to come one after another, but they were not reported in the court gazette.

Of course, how could Prime Minister Lu be afraid of these things? Moreover, he asked himself if he had nothing to be ashamed of. Could he really rebel after taking over this Jiedushi? Therefore, whoever impeached him was of course a villain who was selfish and disrupted the government, and whoever impeached him would be punished that day.

The senior official who could not give a hard time was scolded and refuted on the spot in front of Emperor Zhao and other ministers!

On September 1st, Emperor Zhao took Lu Yihao out to inspect the river defenses. It was more like running away with his head in his arms than to say that Dayu passed by his home without entering.

After all, just as Prime Minister Qin Hui had judged, it would take time for Zhao Jiu's imperial camp to make final preparations, and it would also take time to store the autumn grain and then transport it to the warehouses along the Yellow River. Therefore, Wang Yan's military plan had already been clearly arranged. Unless a major unexpected event occurred, the formal Northern Expedition would be launched after the ice melted and the water rose in the spring.

The current actions and publicity are indeed aimed at intimidating the other side in order to tire out the enemy.

In short, after the autumn, both sides were conducting large-scale military deployments and preparations. Although small-scale battles occurred everywhere, the Yellow River had not yet entered the dry season, and the existence of the Imperial Camp Navy enabled the Song army to always hold the strategic initiative, and there was never any major incident that suddenly got out of control.

September 13th, it had been 13 days since Emperor Zhao left the capital again, and more than ten days had passed since the meeting of the Shangshutai of the Great Jin Kingdom... In the early morning, in Enzhou, Hebei, on the old course of the Yellow River, a group of elite Jurchen cavalry hurriedly crossed a shallow beach, their horses' hooves splashed countless water, making these elite Jurchen knights covered in water.
