In the land of the two rivers, the loyal army has 100,000 people, but it is scattered in Hebei and Hedong, if the Jin people besiege the Daimyo's mansion and encircle the point to send reinforcements, the loyal army is afraid that it will be difficult to deal with, and it is a huge test for the loyal army.

Infantry against cavalry on the plains, outnumbered, no matter how sharp the firearms are, is not a wise choice.

Several battles with Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Yanmu and others were fought several times in succession, thousands of war horses were captured, and the soldiers were also training desperately. But for a short time, these people are just infantry tied to horseback, and it will take time to form combat power.

The Golden Iron Cavalry can crisscross in all directions, but the Loyal and Righteous Army does not have this ability to maneuver. Only by night battles and sneak attacks can the results be achieved.

Now that we have a naval division, we can greatly enhance the mobility of the loyal and righteous army on both sides of the canal, the Yellow River, the Zhanghe River, and the Hutuo River. If you win, you can go ashore, but if the battle is unfavorable, you can return to the ship.

Later generations of Western powers, with their strong ships and guns, and did not have much ability to maneuver on land, still ruled the continents.

At the end of the fifteenth century, the country was small and barren, with a population of less than one million, through overseas exploration and trade colonization, Portugal quickly rose to become a large colonial empire across Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, relying on changing the traditional trade policy, began to conquer the strongholds on the trade routes, built fortifications, and deployed soldiers to ensure the smooth flow of trade, which was also the beginning of maritime colonization.

It seems that in addition to the naval division, the navy is also imperative.

At the same time, it is feared that a huge shipyard will have to be built to supply and ensure the production of seagoing vessels.

At this moment, the most important thing for the loyal and righteous army is to keep the transportation unimpeded and ensure the continuous import of grain from the south. If you buy it from Sichuan, not to mention the high price, the road is far away, and the cycle is too long.

The two rivers have been ravaged by war for a long time, and they are also places of war. Even if there was enough food in the army, the people could not go hungry.

In the future, we must destroy Western Xia first.

The Great Song Dynasty coexisted with the Jin and Western Xia regimes in the north, and when the border provoked, the three roads of Hebei, Hedong and Shaanxi were in the brunt. The required grain was transported from Jianghuai.

Jianghuai Cao grain is transported to three roads, with Hebei being the most, with a constant of nearly one million Hu, sometimes as much as 2 million Hu.

The main channel for Jianghuai materials to be transferred to Hebei is the Bianhe River. The grain of the Bianhe River is usually 6 million stone a year, and the maximum time is 8 million stone.

"The trees of the mountains and forests are all in the boats, and the deaths of the states and counties are in the roads."

The country stands by the soldiers, and the soldiers take food as their life, which is based on Cao Yun, and it is the most urgent and important matter of the country. Once the Jurchens cut off their luck, then not only the two rivers, but also Gyeonggi Province will be implicated.

Zhu Meng said that his face was full of worry, and his brows were tightly locked.

Fanzi went south, every time he fell into the capital of Dayi, looted the goods, and thought it was for his own use, which was "because the food is on the enemy, and the war is nourished by war", and "the victory over the enemy is stronger". Our army can only defend the city and be beaten passively, which is the difference between the enemy and us. ”

Huang Zong said in a deep voice: "The country's royal army is all in the border county, and the Jin people went south to Jianghuai, but they went straight to my henchmen. Now the plan is to go south along the river and control the north of Huaishui in the hands of our army, so as not to cut off the luck, so as not to worry about the army. ”

Regardless of whether the Jin people came to attack the country or not, it would be imperative to occupy the Jianghuai region with the eyes of Wanyan Wu begging and Wanyan Zongbi, cutting off the Cao Yun to the north, and isolating the loyal and righteous army.

The focus of attack and defense in this next step may not be in the Daimyo's Mansion, but in the Jianghuai area.

The Daimyo Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion are all high cities and deep pools, plus the benefits of artillery, supplemented by earth-shaking thunder, thousands of troops and horses, and there is no big problem.

It's just that judging from the reaction of everyone, it is too pessimistic and too unaggressive.

The purpose of war is to kill and injure the other side on the greatest possible scale and make the other side lose its combat effectiveness.

“

Ladies and gentlemen, regardless of whether the Jin people will come to the country or not, the next strategic focus of our army is to kill and injure the Jin people on a larger scale. Our army is to annihilate several of its great armies, so that they will cry everywhere, and the tribes will be widowed. I have to tell the Jin people that the Song people are not so easy to bully!"

Everywhere there was crying, and the tribe was full of widows. Li Ruoxu couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

It seems that the autumn wind is bleak, and when the Jin Ge Iron Horse is iron, it is inevitable that the two rivers will usher in a bloody battle. At that time, I am really afraid that there will be a river of blood and a mountain of corpses.

"In the land of Jianghuai, the rebel Liu Yu is now the most powerful, which is just a blow to the arrogance of this thief, and also makes those "traitors" converge and converge. ”

In history, Liu Yu lowered the gold, in view of the needs of the situation, Liu Yu was set up as the "Great Qi" puppet emperor by the Jin people, and now that history has changed, I don't know if it will repeat the mistakes of the past.

Dogs can't change to eat, Liu Yu has a four-way land, more than 100,000 troops, the Jin people want to go south, crown him as the emperor, and rule the Han with Han, which is inevitable.

Thinking of the waterway of the Yangtze River and the waters of Dongting Lake, Wang Song's brows furrowed slightly.

I don't know what the situation is like now for Zhang Guo and others.

"Princess, is there anything unusual in the area of Dongting Lake?"

Wang Song's words made Huang Zong a little surprised. Could it be that Wang Song is really an unpredictable prophet who knows that there is a civil uprising?

"Xianggong, according to the merchants from Jiangnan, there was a great drought in Jiangnan, Zhong Xiang and Yang Tai of Dongting Lake led tens of thousands of people to rise up in Dongting Lake and establish themselves as kings. Yang Qi's troops repelled several encirclements and suppressions by the official army, and there were many movements. ”

Wang Song nodded lightly, it seems that under natural and man-made disasters, the historical Zhong Xiang Yang Mo uprising still inevitably happened.

This uprising in history lasted for five or six years and was suppressed by Yue Fei and others. Now, without Yue Fei, I don't know what the outcome of these people will be.

"It is still necessary to send people to investigate closely, and the news must not be broken."

Wang Song admonished, and the topic turned to the Great Song court.

"I heard that Zhao Gou was fighting hard in Yangzhou and training a new army, but I don't know if it's true or not. I heard that Zhai Liang is also in Yangzhou and is quite important, yes or no?"

The Zhai family is full of loyalty and loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhai Liang is young and vigorous, and has always wanted to see the lintel. The Great Song Dynasty moved south, and Zhai Liang did not stay in the loyal army, but followed the Great Song royal family south.

"That's right."

For Wang Song calling Zhao Gou's name, Li Ruoxu was also a little surprised. It stands to reason that Wang Song is open-minded by nature and has a very broad mind, but he seems to have a deep resentment towards King Kang, Zhao Gou, and Cheng Qin Hui and others in the imperial history, and he doesn't know why.

Zhai Liang was appointed by the imperial court as the commander of the former army of the imperial camp, specializing in the formation and training of the new army. King Kang Zhao Gou was stationed in Huaiyang, and Jiangdong pacified the envoy and knew Yangzhou Lu Yihao to build a large number of buildings and repair the city wall. ”

Yangzhou is the capital of Huainan East Road, Zhao Ji led the Song Dynasty royal family to cross to the south, and Huainan Road became one of the main battlefields of the Song and Jin wars. Historically, the Southern Song Dynasty great poet Xin Qiji's words include the phrase "Fenghuo Yangzhou Road", which also expresses the frequent wars in the Jianghuai region.

The Grand Canal runs through Yangzhou to the north, and Yangzhou is in complete control of the canal's benefits. The Jin people occupied Shandong, and the power had reached the Huai River, and if they wanted to go south, Yangzhou would bear the brunt. I don't know if the new army trained by the imperial court can stop the iron cavalry of the Jin people.

Wang Song looked into the distance, as if thinking.

Xuzhou is located in the strategic position of the north-south junction, coupled with the surrounding rivers, to the east can directly go to the sea, the geographical location is very important. The name of the loyal and righteous army for the country to supervise the smelting of iron is prosperous in the world, comparable to Handan, and must not fall into the hands of the Jinren.

"I'm most worried about Hedong."

Wang Song frowned and said, "Now that the weather is getting colder, Wanyan Zonghan will definitely meet."

Under the leadership of the army, Taiyuan Mansion and North Shaanxi Road may bear the brunt. ”

The Jin soldiers are strong and strong, and if they raise the soldiers of the country and concentrate on dealing with all the way, it will be difficult for the loyal and righteous army to parry.

"Xianggong, the Hezhong Mansion controls the Guanhe, the mountains and rivers will meet, the Qin and Jin Dynasties compete for the place, there have been things in the world since ancient times, and those who compete for power in the rivers and mountains have not taken the east of the river as a throat. Besides, the solution of salt is related to the foundation of our army, and the river must be unfounded!"

Huang Zong thought for a moment and put forward his own opinion.

"Besides, there is a lot of nitrate produced in Jiezhou, and the preparation of gunpowder for our army is also indispensable. The large army stationed in Hezhong Province can go up with the Fen River and the Yellow River, waiting for the opportunity to go north to reinforce Taiyuan City, and our army must not ignore it. ”

Wang Song nodded. Sure enough, they are all people who have proven themselves in history, and they can see the key to the battle at a glance.

The Licheng battalion is not necessary to put tens of thousands of horses. The two rivers are vast and sparsely populated, so you can transfer most of the people to Hezhong Mansion and leave one of them back to the city.

"Huang Gong, Zhu Gong, I want you two herdsmen Hedong to work with Wang Lungong to stabilize the military and government of Hedong at the same time, so as to deal with the southward movement of the Jin army."

Sending three henchmen to run Hedong shows that Wang Song attaches great importance to Hedong. Hebei has him and Li Ruoxu, and they can deal with it if they want to.

"Xianggong, I am just a scholar in the next place, the battlefield is facing the enemy, and I still need a military attache to take over."

Zhu Meng said that he also followed Huang Zong's words and said: "Xianggong, the people's livelihood in Hedong, is the responsibility of the next generation. But militarily, it is much better to be a general. ”

There are countless fierce generals in the loyal army, whether it is Zhang Xian, Dong Xian, Li Yanxian, Wang Yan, or Zhang Heng, Deng Shixiong, Niu Gao, Yang Zaixing, all of them are like wolves and tigers. It is better to govern the army, or these people.

Wang Song pondered for a while and said: "Huang Gong went to Hezhong Mansion, Li Yanxian was in charge of the military, and you planned in the middle, focusing on the civil affairs of Hezhong Mansion and the southeast of Hezhong." It is our duty to raise prisons, restore people's livelihood, and run schools and educate people. ”

Huang Zongsu bowed and said, "The lower officials will obey the decree of the Prime Minister."

From a scholar to a feudal official, he controls the life and death of thousands of people, shows his ambitions, and governs the country and the world with self-cultivation.

Zhu Gong served as the prefect of Taiyuan and concurrently served as the military planner. Military affairs were controlled by Zhang Xian, Niu Gao and others, and Yizhou, Daizhou, and Lanjun were restored north of Taiyuan Mansion as soon as possible. Even if it is not possible to occupy it militarily, it is necessary to carry out propaganda in administrative affairs. ”

Zhu Meng said that he agreed, and his face was flushed.

Wang Song said in a deep voice: "The weather is getting cooler, and the Jin people will go south, or they will follow the story of Emperor Liao, search the mountains and seas, and attack the south of the Yangtze River." Under the pressure of Mount Tai, the imperial court may concentrate the western army of Shaanxi and have a big showdown with the Jin people in Shaanxi to slow down their southward offensive. ”

Historically, in order to ease the Jin people's plan to attack Jiangnan, the Great Song Dynasty court had to face off with the Jin people on the battlefield in Shaanxi. Although the army was defeated, it relieved the pressure on Jiangnan to a certain extent.

And now, in order to isolate Hedong and Hebei, the Jin people will definitely launch an offensive against Shaanxi, the flank of Hedong, as well as Henan.

If the Jin people are pressing on Shaanxi, they must let these tyrants bleed again in the old land of the Qin people and in the land of Guanzhong, and they must shed more than they did last time in Fuzhou.

"If the Jin people enter Shaanxi, it will definitely be a big battle. At that time, our army will enter Shaanxi from Hezhongfu or the Lan army and the Baode army, and fight a head-on battle with the Jin people, and we will definitely let their corpses be strewn all over the field and the blood will flow like a river. ”

Wang Song clasped his fists and saluted, and said solemnly: "Please, everyone!"

Several people gave salutes together, and everyone's faces were solemn, and they all felt a sudden increase in pressure.

Everyone has different thoughts, but they are all worried about the safety of the people and the nation.

Everyone straightened up and looked at the river, the river was flowing slowly, seemingly calm, but in fact the waves were turbulent and the whirlpool was born. Only the sun rises from the east and shines on all things in the world.
