May 26th.
Yue Fei led his soldiers and brought the wealth that the Six Valley Tribe had accumulated over the years to Xiangyang.
At the same time, the emperor and ministers in the Jin Kingdom were in a dilemma.
In the palace of the Jin Kingdom.
The ministers and their emperors all had ugly expressions on their faces.
Ever since they received the news that Yue Fei had returned to Xiangyang, this had been going on for a long time.
Wanyan Xiang, the prime minister of Jin Dynasty, said tiredly,""Emperor, we underestimated Yue Fei and overestimated Pan Luozhi! No one expected Yue Fei to take down Pan Luozhi in just two months. Now that our 300,000 strong army is gathered at the Song border, we can only retreat!”
"No!"
The Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Dan, shook his head and said with a complicated expression,"Prime minister, although what you said makes sense, have you thought about it? As long as we retreat, it means that we are afraid of Yue Fei.”
" This!!!"
"Sigh!"
The Prime Minister of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Xiang, could not help but sigh.
The Duke of Chen, Xiao Yu, had a dark expression on his face as he said sternly,"Emperor, Yue Fei isn't some three-headed and six-armed man, we don't need to be afraid of him! If 300,000 can't beat us, then 600,000. If 600,000 can't beat us, then 90 Kings!”
"No!"
The Prime Minister of Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Xiang's expression changed drastically. He said coldly,"Now that our Dajin is fighting every year, the people under our command are already suffering. If we recruit the people like this, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
The Duke of Chen, Xiao Yu, looked at Wanyan Xiang and said angrily,""This won't do, that won't do either. Then what do you think we should do?”
"Since we can't send troops, then we'll join forces!”
Minister of War Pusan Zhongyi suddenly said coldly,"Your Majesty, since we, Dajin, are not going to continue recruiting soldiers, then we will give up LingZhao to join forces with Xixia and let Xixia send troops to attack the Song Dynasty!”
The Duke of Chen, Xiao Yu, pointed at Minister of War Pusan Zhongyi's nose and scolded,"Do you know that you're ceding territory?!!”
"Duke of Chen!"
Pusan Zhongyi said coldly,"I'm not ceding territory, I'm just giving a portion of the benefits to Xixia. As long as Xixia agrees to attack Xiangyang, so what if Ling Zhao gives it to him?”
"Bullshit!"
Duke of Chen, Xiao Yu, immediately retorted.
The hot-tempered him even wanted to punch her!
However, Pusan Zhongyi did not argue with him. Instead, he said seriously,""Duke Chen, you know that we only have two options now. One is to give up on attacking Xiangyang, and the other is to join forces with Xixia to attack Xiangyang.”
"Xixia!"
The Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Dan, sat at the head of the table, pondering over the pros and cons of this.
He was no stranger to the Western Xia. The Emperor of the Western Xia, Li Yuanhao, was not a simple person.
Although the country was small, its people were valiant and their desire to fight was unusually strong.
The only thing that limited Xixia was that its territory was too small. If he were to obtain a large area of fertile territory, it would inevitably fuel his ambition.
However, when Wanyan Dan thought of Yue Fei's terrifying battle prowess, he could not help but decide to cooperate with the Western Xia.
The condition for Xixia to obtain territory was to defeat Yue Fei's Yue Family Army.
In this way, in order to obtain more benefits, Xixia would definitely send out their elites.
Based on Yue Fei's Yue Family Army's combat strength, even if they could defeat the Yue Family Army, most of the soldiers in this expedition would be dead or injured.
Even if the Great Jin Kingdom lost 300,000 soldiers, it would recover in a few years. However, the Western Xia Kingdom would probably not recover for more than ten years.
In this way, wouldn't he be able to swallow Xixia along the way!
In the imperial court, many ministers of the Jin Kingdom looked at the Emperor and asked him to make a decision.
Everyone was silent.
"Cut off Ling Zhao and unite with Xixia!"
Wanyan Dan sat on the dragon throne and announced the final result in a loud voice!
After he figured out the crux of the matter, the voice of the territory was still unusually loud.
"No!"
The Duke of Chen, Xiao Yu, quickly looked at the Emperor and advised,"Our Dajin doesn't have any extra territory. We can lend it to Xixia, but we can't give it up!”
"Duke of Chen!"
Wanyan Dan looked at Xiao Yu and said,"Without sufficient benefits, Xixia will not send troops!" I've made up my mind on this matter. Don't say anything more!”
Wanyan Dan could not tell everyone what he was thinking, because he was the Emperor of Great Jin. He could not tell everyone that he was ready to sacrifice three hundred thousand lives for the battle.
Therefore, he could only forcefully issue an imperial edict in the imperial court.
"Prime Minister!"
Wanyan Dan looked at Wanyan Xiang and said," Go to the Western Xia to lobby for this matter. Be careful. Make sure that the Western Xia sends no less than 200,000 troops!"”
"Yes, sir!"
Wanyan Xiang was a smart person. He immediately understood what his emperor meant.
He was prepared to explain this situation to the Duke of Chen in private after the court session.
However, to his surprise.
"Your Majesty!"
The Duke of Chen, Xiao Yu, looked at Wanyan Dan expressionlessly and said,"Since you want to cede territory, please let this old minister lead the army to attack Xiangyang! I can't be an official with the person who proposed to cede territory!”
"Duke of Chen!"
Wanyan Dan frowned and shouted!
Unfortunately, Xiao Yu only knelt on the ground and did not move!
Actually, he vaguely understood Wanyan Dan's intentions, but he really had no way of agreeing to it.
This was because the main force of the army this time was the Xi clansmen! If he wanted to watch these Xi clansmen die, he might as well head to the front lines himself!
"Forget it!"
"Duke of Chen, you will be the general of my army in this battle!" Wanyan Dan said expressionlessly.”
"Understood!"
Xiao Yu lowered her head and agreed!
