Being able to ask such a question means that Wanyan Yong is not politically mature enough.

That's what Li Shi thinks.

"As you said, if all the Zhongzhong is destroyed and the imperial court is destroyed, the Great Jin Kingdom will be destroyed in name only, and the rest will be without leaders. At this time, heroes need to stand up and take on the mission of the Great Jin Kingdom to continue, and ascend to the throne and become emperor, at this moment, are there any more suitable candidates besides you?"

Li Shi's face was full of passion: "Take Yu Pass, close the gate of Liaodong, ascend the throne and become emperor, prepare for war, and then fight for life and death with the thief army. You can advance and take Yanyun again, and retreat can keep Liaodong. Why not do it?"

At first glance, Wanyan Yong thought this was Li Shi's crazy talk. What emperor is he thinking about being at this level?

It would be nice not to be a slave to the country.

But after calming down and thinking about it carefully, he felt that Li Shi's suggestions were not meaningless.

If Zhongdu was really destroyed, then the Jin Kingdom would definitely have no emperor. Although it lost the Central Plains, there was still the former land of Liaodong and could not give up.

As a member of the royal family, he also holds certain military power and has made military achievements. He has some prestige in Liaodong. As long as Wuyan Pu Luhun supports him, he can definitely become emperor, rebuild the Jin Kingdom in Liaodong and ascend the throne to the throne.

At that time, Emperor Taizu Wanyan Aguda relied on Liaodong to annex the Liao Kingdom, establishing the position of the overlord of the Jin Kingdom, and establishing the foundation for the Jin Kingdom to control the Central Plains.

Although Liaodong is bitter and cold and the road is difficult to move, it has a large population and output, and it has the foundation to build a regional power.

According to Li Shi, even if the entire Central Plains is lost, as long as Liaodong is blessed, the foundation of the Jin Kingdom will still be there, and it will eventually sprout and grow, and the Jin Kingdom will not die.

However, Wanyan Yong was not relieved.

"With that being said, nearly 500,000 troops were defeated, and the Great Jin Kingdom had all its strength to break it. Only one Liaodong was left. Can it compete with the bandit army?

Uncle, it’s not that I was disgusting. The emperor destroyed Shangjing before and moved a large number of people to Yanyun and the Central Plains. The foundation of the Great Jin Kingdom has actually been transferred to the Yanyun area, and Liaodong has long been no longer the same."

Li Shi was silent for a while because he knew that Wanyan Yong was right. Although the land in Liaodong was still there, after Shangjing was destroyed by Wanyan Liang, Liaodong's background was already much worse than before.

The Great Jin Dynasty, which had a large population and a large number of talents, had become Huining Prefecture. It had only a simple local system and had no capital system. In order to prevent the Jurchen people from returning, Wanyan Liang leveled many of the buildings in Shangjing.

It takes a long time to build a capital, and it only takes one or two days to destroy it.

But this is not the reason why Li Shi gave up persuasion.

"Even if Liaodong is no longer the same as before, it will be a place of dragon prosperity for the Great Jin Kingdom. The people's hearts will join the Great Jin Kingdom. If the bandit army wants to defeat Liaodong, it will not be easy. As long as we take back Yuguan, we can win at least three years.

Three years, Wu Lu, I believe that with your ability, you can definitely reorganize the country. There are still a large number of tribesmen in Liaodong and the manpower and material resources that can be used. What Emperor Taizu could do back then, as a descendant of Taizu, don’t you have the courage to do it?

Although the bandit army gained advantages for a while, its foundation was insufficient. The huge territory needed people to govern and stability. Can the bandit army do it? That is a group of bandits! It is just a group of bandits. What do they know how to govern the country?

At most, they know how to rob a family and rob a house, and they know how to impose a heavy tax. Maybe we don’t have to take the initiative to attack, and the people of the Central Plains will themselves rise up to resist the tyranny. At that time, the Great Jin Kingdom will follow the will of heaven and return to the Central Plains. Isn’t that possible?"

Li Shi's encouragement and trust gave Wanyan Yong enough courage. The more Wanyan Yong listened, the more he felt hot, and felt that what Li Shi said made sense, so he decided to give it a try and take Yu Pass.

Moreover, if Zhongdu is really destroyed and the emperor is really gone, then he will become the one who will lead the Great Jin Kingdom on the road of glory again.

So Li Shi formulated a detailed offensive plan for Wanyan Yong and decided to concentrate all his efforts to capture Haiyang County first, take a defensive stance against the Restoration Army of Yuguan, and cut off their ties with Haiyang County.

Li Shi believed that the Refuting Army lacked cavalry and could not compete with the Jin army at the field level, so he could also force the Yuguan Guards to attack and support Haiyang County, so that the Refuting Army could be dragged into the field and consumed their troops.

Wanyan Yong adopted Li Shi's suggestion and decided to capture Haiyang City first and then attack Yuguan. Without any worries, he could also pull out the nail that nailed the Restoration Army behind them.

But although the plan is good, it is very difficult to execute.

The Haiyang defenders seem to have few people, but compared to defending a small city, there are already many people. They also have very powerful city defense weapons, spherical firearms that can explode and injure people, and long pole firearms that have a long range and can also explode.

Because of the excellent firearms of the Restoration, the Jin army suffered particularly heavy damage when the group charged and tried to attack the city. The firearms exploded in the crowd, not only sounded like thunder, but also had great lethality. People close to the firearms would be blown to pieces, and their deterrence was extremely powerful.

After several charges, the Jin army was shocked by the firearms of the Restoration Army, and they felt vaguely afraid of war and did not dare to form a formation to move forward.

This surprised Wanyan Yong and Li Shi without expecting it.

"Why are the firearms of the thieves so sophisticated? Are the firearms so powerful?"

Wanyan Yong and Li Shizhang Er were confused and encountered the same problem as Wanyan Liang before.

At that time, Wanyan Liang relied on the large number of people and powerful forces to force the army to form a formation and move forward. He used up all kinds of means, but failed to successfully take Hejian. He ran into the head under Hejian City and was bleeding.

Now Wanyan Yong's military strength is far less powerful than Wanyan Liang, but the Haiyang defenders led by Lu Tang have made relatively sufficient preparations. It is normal for Wanyan Yong to be bleeding from the head.

Not to mention the tenacity of the Haiyang defenders, the Yuguan defenders have never attacked even once in a long time, sitting firmly on Diaoyutai and motionless, as if they were in trouble.

This made Li Shi very angry.

But he firmly believed that his tactics were right, so he continued to defend against Yuguan and attack Haiyang.

Until mid-March, Wuyan Pu Luhun's condition was slightly relieved and he led 30,000 troops to support him. Wanyan Yong still failed to take over Haiyang City, and he attacked Shanghai Yang City for a few times, and he was beaten down as soon as he went up, and the effect was very poor.

The intensity of the battle lasted for more than ten days was not high, but Wanyan Yong's troops also killed nearly 1,000 people in battle, and more than 2,000 people were injured. The seriously injured had been transported back to the rear, and the slightly injured were still on the front line.

On the day when Wuyan Puluhun arrived, the Restoration Army sent people to send letters to the head commander of the Jin army, namely Wuyan Puluhun.

The letter said that Wanyan Liang was dead, and Zhongdu was surrounded by the Liberation Army, becoming a turtle in the jar. Yanyun Prefecture turned against him in large numbers. They no longer had the hope of restoring the Jin Kingdom. Instead of continuing to fight the Liberation Army to death, it would be better to surrender to Liaodong. Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing?

After reading this letter, Wanyan Yong was mentally prepared and was confused for a long time.

Wuyan Puluhun simply fainted on the spot and woke up the next day.

After waking up, Wuyan Pu Luhun was in a daze. He held Wanyan Yong's hand and kept crying about how much care he had received, how many promotions he had received, and how he was trusted. As a result, before he could give the victory to Wanyan Yong, Wanyan Yong died.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!!"

Wuyan Puluhun cried bitterly and wailed continuously. After three more days, Wuyan Puluhun decided to continue the bloody battle with the Restoration Army and never surrender until he died in battle. Otherwise, he would be sorry for Wanyan Liang's trust in him!

Looking at Wuyan Pu Luhun's appearance, Wanyan Yong's face was full of confusion.

Logically speaking, Wanyan Liang's rule was very cruel and unpopular. As a veteran, Wuyan Pu Luhun was also hit and humiliated by the Han and Khitans promoted by Wanyan Liang.

If you want to talk about trust, it was not the first person to lead troops to quell the rebellion. Wuyanpu Luhun was a spare tire, and he had no choice. He shouldn't have such a deep relationship with Wanyan Liang anyway, right?

Wanyan Yong didn't understand, so he asked Li Shi privately.

Li Shi looked around for a while and felt that the thing Wuyan Pu Luhun did had a little other flavor.
