"Yes, Goryeo is one of them, Tart has been operating in Ganghwa for so many years, but it is also quite cautious, and even Goryeo itself has power."

Over the years, Tart Lazy and his two sons have become the climate, and the Jurchen soldiers and horses have reached three or four thousand, plus the Bohai and Khitan tribes, there are nearly 10,000 people, with a population of 60,000 or 70,000, and the imperial court has only 3,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Jianghua.

Zhang Guo's eyes lit up, but he said: "The strength of the Tiger Wing Northern Camp is too small, the two armies are not as good as the first army, and the newly replenished officials are almost all left by the Ma Bu Army." ”

"Hehe, don't think hard with me, the army is free to customize, the Tiger Wing Sixth Army is small, that's the reason why the guards and sailors go ashore to fight, and they can't have too much establishment." Wang Xiu was a little helpless, according to Zhang Guo's intentions, the first and third armies of the tiger wing were expanded to more than 10,000 people, that is, more than 20,000 or even 30,000 people, and the generals did not rebel.

Zhang Guo's heart was seen through, and he smiled a little embarrassedly, it is a bit unlikely, now that each army has reached seven or eight thousand people, it will make the guard Ma Bujun shout, saying that the guard water army already occupies a lot of resources, and the land battle has its own horse infantry army, so what do you want the Tiger Wing Army to do? This is a deliberate attempt to create inconvenience in the command system.

Li Changsheng considered Wang Xiu's intentions and said tentatively: "Sir, can the imperial court go north in one or two years?" ”

"It depends on what the captives do, now is the time, whether they give it or we find it, the reason is very sufficient, just one opportunity is missing." Wang Xiu glanced at Li Changsheng, took a deep breath, and said: "The imperial court is preparing to reinforce a group of Qiyan and Kelie people, and they should be able to be in place within the year, so that they can contain the captives." Therefore, the Goryeo side must control the situation, form a flank attack from the east and west, and create conditions for the main army to move north, and the Jiaozhi issue will be resolved within two years. ”

I can't help but say that according to the intelligence reality of the Speed Division, after so many years, Wushu and Zhang Qiyuan's views on the north and south are still a little self-righteous.

The rapid economic development of the Great Song Dynasty, the material conditions and human resources are abundant, which can support the supply of hundreds of thousands of troops, and can last for at least three or five years of large-scale operations, which is already quite good, and no dynasty dares to say that they can support three or five years of full-scale continuous war, and the economy will not have problems.

However, three or five years is also a theoretical number, according to his private statement, it is impossible to exceed three years at most, and problems may arise in the fifth year.

In recent years, under his guidance, the implementation of elite troops and streamlined administration, the national strength is only about 400,000, and the annual investment in new armor and technical battles has greatly increased. The chariot and the baggage cart are completely two different concepts.

Looking at the rule of the Jurchens, according to his point of view, the conservative forces are still very strong, and the improvement imitated by Zhang Qiyuan, although there is some improvement, but the effect is not too great, and the important agricultural areas of Hebei, Hedong, Yanshan, Tokyo and other regions are still developing very slowly, and commerce is not taken seriously, which is not worth mentioning compared to the Xing Dynasty.

That is, I don't want to stimulate the Jurchens, and quietly earn back the annual gifts every year, if they really start an economic war, I am afraid that Hebei and Hedong will really collapse.

Due to the oppression of the Jurchen noble chieftains, as well as the psychological tactics of the Great Song Dynasty, the contradictions between the Jurchens and the Han and Khitan people are still very acute.

Of course, the people did not sit idly by, in addition to repairing the important passes of Hedong and Yanshan in Hebei, the army was reorganized, a group of elite troops were trained, and the Tatars and Mier beggars were united to fight against the beggars and Kereh, and the results were still good, at least the Jin army could free up a group of elites to form pressure on the south.

However, the Jurchen horse army's hard-working, brave and warlike demeanor has long been a thing of the past, many children are addicted to pleasure, the proportion of the Han army and the Khitan army has increased, and the once proud Golden Horse is like thunder, which has long been gradually flattened by the Song army.

With the recovery of Lingxia Hexi, the horse army of the Great Song Dynasty developed steadily, and gradually shortened the gap with the Jin army.

Most of the Jin troops on the front line of Hebei were composed of Han troops, not the elite led by Gao Sheng and Han Chang, but the local troops of Kong Yanzhou, Li Qiong, and Li Cheng.

"The northern fleet guarding the navy has a difficult task in wartime, and you two must not take it lightly, perhaps, Yanshan still needs to be captured by the navy."

Li Changsheng's eyes lit up, but Zhang Guo's eyes flickered, and he was full of strong momentum to enter, what is the capture of Yanshan? Clearly talking about the Tiger Wing Army, he is a strong body.

"Instead, in a few days, the Tiger Wing Northern Camp will move to Laizhou, and you have to go to Salmon Island to station, and you need to be patient." Wang Xiu was afraid that Zhang Guo would not be able to bear the loneliness, so he specially reminded him.

"Don't worry, mountain chief." Zhang Guo was excited for a while, that was the treatment of the main force, Shamen Island to the northwest to Yanshan, to the northeast to Goryeo, can become his battlefield.

Wang Xiu smiled and said, "I mean, I might want you to go to Jianghua first." ”

"Oh, sir is going to attack Kaesong?" Li Changsheng heard the sound and knew the elegant meaning, but made a bold judgment.

"There is this possibility, there has been a lot of trouble in Goryeo recently, and Wang Kai's guy is not a good bird, he wants to take advantage of the two ends, how can there be such a good thing. Besides, the captives have long been thoughtful, after all, if the internal worries are not eliminated, how can the external troubles be solved? Wang Xiu smiled disdainfully, he really didn't look down on Gaoli, but he didn't put it as a good chess piece, he had already made a plan after judgment and deduction, and he wanted to calculate Wushu and Zhang Qiyuan.

Zhang Guo doesn't care, as long as he can fight, where is the difference? Lang Sheng said: "This group of small states with dirty tricks, the imperial court will recover the four counties sooner or later. ”

"That's your business." Wang Xiuwan smiled, he set the general direction, cleaned up the Jurchens, and didn't have the energy to take care of the rest of the, and said: "Jiaozhi can't relax either, third brother, you stay in Xingzai for the time being, assist Taiwei Li to improve the plan, and the conquest of the Jiaozhi Li family must be successful, and it must not fail." ”

Since the strategy of conquest has long been set, and now it has entered the countdown stage, there is no possibility of stopping, let alone failure.

Over the years, the Great Song Dynasty has been rampant in the South China Sea, and the soldiers have not tasted defeat, and the price of defeat will be the dissenting hearts of the countries, which is extremely unfavorable to the rule of the imperial court.

The reason why we have been planning and preparing for so many years is to ensure that in case, whether it is diplomatic relations or troop deployment, the vital material and medical security have been prepared to the extreme, even more cautious than extinguishing Xia. **
