Since Wuzhu had spoken, everyone couldn't help but take a quick look at the King of Wei... The meaning was very obvious. The Fourth Prince actually had mature thoughts and opinions on this matter, and they coincided with Qin Hui's.
And if this is the case, it will make those present more convinced.
In fact, Wanyan Oben, who had no experience in using troops in the south, immediately came to his senses after hearing this, and then briefly summarized:
"So, Zhao Song's northern expedition is inevitable, but unless something big happens, it will most likely come after the spring plowing next year? This wave of reports is mostly empty threats to make us tired of dealing with them?"
"But we have to be on guard." Talai expressed his opinion again, but he said something nonsense. "If there is a big mistake, given the character of the Southern Emperor Zhao, he will definitely cross the river without hesitation..."
Wanyan Oben nodded, "But we can't be over-deployed. Everything must be done in moderation. The third brother goes to Zhending Prefecture, which is enough to coordinate Taiyuan, Xijing (Datong), Daming Prefecture, and Longde Prefecture... The key is that we are here in Yanjing, and we must make all preparations. We must collect food and grass, gather soldiers and horses, gather leaders, and count military equipment."
"We need to prepare the list in advance and be ready to mobilize and sign the troops at any time... half of them will be used as sergeants and the other half will be used as civilian laborers." Wanyan Xiyin sighed and also made a suggestion.
"There are also the Mongols and the Koreans." Wulinda Zanmo finally spoke. "We can't reach the Western Mongols. The Khitans hate us to the core, so there's no need to think too much. As for the Koreans, the ruler and the Prime Minister Kim Bu-sik are both capable. I think they will never make a decision on their own until the victory or defeat is decided... The biggest variable is Kublai Khan of Eastern Mongolia."
Because the name of the Southern Gazette was changed to Mongolia, the Jurchens were also called Mongolia.
"Then send another envoy." Wanyan Wuben thought for a moment and made a decision while pinching his chin. "Show your sincerity, and we can promise him gold, silver and other valuables. Not only the King of Eastern Mongolia, but also the Khan of the entire Mongolia! Even some tribes and villages on the border can be given to him! You have to distinguish the priorities at the critical moment!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Wuzhu, Xiyin, Qin Hui, Han Fang, Hongya, Talan, Yinshuke, Wuye, the Wulinda brothers, and Pu Jianu, almost everyone present nodded in agreement.
"I think the key to this battle is the new army." Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming appropriate and his brother's opinion was also supported, Wulinda Taiyu also spoke up at the right time. He was the right deputy commander of the new army in Yanjing. "For the new army, the local men in Yanjing are still very enthusiastic, but the troops from outside the Great Wall have not arrived yet... What should we do?"
"The King of Liao just said that he would hold a special meeting of the leaders of the tribes outside the Great Wall." Wanyan Xiyin interrupted and scolded. "Even Hebule has to spend a lot of money, let alone our own people?"
"Would it be better to send someone out of the country to deal with this matter?" Wulin Dazanmo asked before his brother could say anything else. "It would be faster this way."
"But who will go?" Xi Yin still frowned. "The leaders outside the Great Wall are not trivial. They need a real king to rule. At present, the King of Jin (Erliduo) has gone to Zhending Prefecture to take charge of the south. If the Song people attack suddenly, the King of Wei (Wuzhu) will also go south immediately to share the power with the King of Jin. His Royal Highness the King of Liao will also have to stay in Yanjing..."
"What if we let the king go?" Qin Hui suddenly interrupted Xi Yin. "The king is already seventeen years old. Last year, he inspected the area outside the Great Wall and dealt with the rebellion of Puluhu. If the king comes in person, the tribes outside the Great Wall will surely be excited!"
Xi Yin was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked at Wanyan Woben, who seemed to agree with Qin Hui, while Woben was obviously hesitant... because doing so would undoubtedly involve political risks.
But at this moment, Wanyan Yinshu, who had been silent before, was moved and could not help but speak: "Since it is for the sake of the new army and the three kings cannot leave the pass for a moment, why don't I, the commander-in-chief of the new army, escort the king?"
Upon hearing this, Wanyan Pu Jianu immediately joined in: "I am also willing to escort the king out of the pass. As for the tribes outside the pass, I, Pu Jianu, still have some face."
Everyone looked at each other, of course knowing that these two were unwilling to be lonely and wanted to make trouble for the king, and even wanted to use this opportunity to gather the new army and make a comeback. But at the same time, everyone had to admit that it was the best choice to let the king go out of the pass to unite the tribes in Liaodong at this time. These two accompanied the king out of the pass and asked the tribes to send troops to Yanjing in time, which could be regarded as the two of them playing their remaining energy for the overall situation.
And sure enough, after a while, after looking at each other with his fourth brother Wuzhu, the eldest prince finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "In this case, you two must take good care of the king... But Han Xueshi, Yanjing needs your help, but you can't accompany the king out of seclusion."
Yin Shuke and Pu Jianu were secretly delighted for a moment, and immediately bowed their heads as if to obey orders. Han Fang hesitated for a moment, then bowed like the first two... He knew what Oben meant. Once the Zhao Song Dynasty launched a northern expedition, it would be a war to destroy the country. The Great Jin Kingdom not only needed the power of Liaodong, but also the power of the Yanyun Han people. Their Han family was the most influential representative of the Yanyun Han people in the Jin Kingdom's high-level officials. Of course, they could not easily leave Yanjing at this time.
Seeing the two princes being so frank and the meeting being so pragmatic, Wulinda Taiyu, who had been blocked by his brother before, finally couldn't help but say: "The new army here is not only short of soldiers, but most of them are new recruits who have never seen a battle..."
"How can we let them see a battle in such a hurry?" After accepting many requests, Oben finally became impatient. "Even the newly recruited soldiers in the Song Dynasty's imperial camp have never seen a battle, right? Everyone needs to fight to see blood."
