After Zong Ze finished speaking, the lobby of the government office fell silent for a while.

Although Zong Ze said it very clearly, such a magnificent strategy still made everyone's minds buzz.

After about a few dozen breaths, Yang Lin took the lead and asked: "With such a long front, food and grass are replenished, and weapons are heavy, I don't know if I can keep up." ”

Zong Ze immediately pointed to Shuozhou on the sand table, and said loudly: "Xiaguan has already sent people to understand the mountains and rivers here clearly a long time ago. Seven years ago, Shaozai opened up the tea and horse trade road, because of the back and forth of countless merchants, there has long been more than one wide road, which is just used for transportation. ”

Yang Lin twisted his eyebrows and thought about it carefully, there are a few generals under him who can take charge of themselves, if he really spreads the battle line so grandly, there are people available.

Today's war is already a large-scale battle of national fortune, and if it once counterattacks the grassland, it will be a complete counterattack to encircle and suppress the Jin State from the west and south.

From defense to offense, he needs to consider in detail, whether the Great Song Dynasty has such conditions now, and whether the country is stable enough.

Seeing Yang Lin's frowns, Zong Ze stepped aside, asked for a water bladder with his own soldiers, poured a few sips and walked over again, and said in front of Yang Lin: "Shaozai, the reason why Wanyan Lou Room was able to win three battles and three victories relied on the army of the Mongolian Khan. Hebul was so arrogant that he gathered the originally loose Mongol tribes. This is an enemy even more terrible than the Jurchens, there are too many of them, the Jurchens are sparsely populated, and there are quite a few Mongols.

Now that the grasslands are empty, it is an excellent time for us to completely clear this big hidden danger. Otherwise, even if they win this war and defeat the Jurchen Dajin, the Mongols will no longer fight among themselves, and after uniting, they will be a great enemy in the north! ”

It is worthy of Zong Ze, who has seen the great calamity in the future from the Mongolian army of Hebul this time. As he said, after the rise of the Mongols, they were more terrible than the Jurchens, because their population was far from being comparable to the Jurchens.

Zong Ze's words undoubtedly have seen the rise and fall of this grassland alien race clearly.

Yang Lin's eyes opened, Zong Ze was right, the Mongols would not only be the great enemy of the Han people in the future, it would be a moving natural disaster.

If the strategy proposed by Zong Ze is followed, the two future Jurchen and Mongol rivals can be eliminated in one fell swoop and the peace of the northern border can be guaranteed.

This is a huge temptation for Yang Lin, but I don't know if the Great Song Dynasty, which has been defending for more than a hundred years, has the ability to fight in depth and roundabout, which makes him undecided.

It is impossible to make a decision on such a thing all at once, so Zong Ze is not in a hurry. Push aside and discuss the civil war with a few familiar generals, and let Yang Lin decide for himself.

After all, when this battle really started, what was needed most was not the fierce generals of the three armies of Yongguan who went deep behind enemy lines, nor the elite soldiers who occupied cities and plundered land across the grasslands, but the imperial court in the rear who worked hard to ensure the supply and dispatch of all fronts.

In this battle, the most test is the mobilization ability of the state apparatus of the Great Song Dynasty and the dispatching ability of Yang Lin and others.

There was a lot of noise in the lobby, Yang Lin was uneasy, stood up and walked out.

The generals wanted to keep up, but they were stopped by Lu Qian and said with a smile: "Everyone, let Shaozai be quiet alone." ”

Only then did the generals return to the hall and continue to look at the sand table to discuss the battle situation.

Yang Lin walked out of the government office and saw that the streets of Yanzhou were full of celebratory people.

Yang Lin stopped a young man at random, but saw that his face was full of tears, and he was overjoyed.

"This little brother, I'm from the south, and everyone is celebrating like this today, isn't it a northland festival?"

When the young man saw that he was dressed in brocade and that he was a wealthy businessman, he wiped away his tears and said, "You don't know yet? The army of our imperial court has been defeated by the enemy who will attack the enemy, and I heard that they have also captured the generals of their Jin country. ”

He shook his arm, and his sleeve was empty, it turned out to be a one-armed.

"My father and brother died at the hands of the Tartars in the north, and I am the only one left, and the great revenge has to be avenged, how can I not like it."

Yanzhou and Jizhou, as the rear, accepted a large number of refugees from the north, these people are often bitter and bitter, and everyone has some blood hatred that cannot be dissolved.

Yang Lin looked at the back of the one-armed young man in the distance, and the people celebrating on the street, and one by one the nouns appeared in Yang Lin's mind.

Yashan, Zero Ding Yangli sighed Zero Ding, Zhenguo General Zhang Hongfan destroyed Song here, four people and others...

Behind each noun, there are countless humiliating pictures, and Yang Lin finally made up his mind.

For thousands of years, I don't know how many people on the northern border have died at the hands of the northern captives, or under the iron hooves of the desert.

Once decided, Yang Lin no longer hesitated and strode back to the hall.

The noise stopped abruptly, and Zong Ze looked at Yang Lin's spirit, with a hint of joy in his eyes. Yang Lin's state is just like when he recovered Youyan, confident and high-spirited, and indomitable.

After Yang Lin sat down, he didn't even say half a sentence of nonsense, and said loudly: "Northland Han'er, after a long battle, everyone has a heart of revenge. Yanzhou and Jizhou, there are many refugees from the north, Zong Ze, you have always been good at recruiting soldiers and horses into an army, so you will train and drill. ”

Zong Ze happily accepted the order, walked out of the hall with the arrow, and went to recruit soldiers and horses with great ambition. He is a true master in this regard, and when the refugees are in the hands of half of the people, the hasty army is a nightmarish existence, and his strength is not much stronger than that of a thief.

But Zong Ze has the ability to turn decay into magic, in the history of later generations, Zong Ze, who has passed the year of fighting, after almost all the fall in the north, as the Kaifeng Mansion stayed, hastily conscripted, and won successive battles. Among them, there was a Hebei soldier who was recruited and appreciated by him, called Yue Fei.

Yang Lin continued: "Wu Jue, you lead your troops to Yunnei, Broken Cloud Ridge is the last step in our retreat, tell Yao Pingzhong that as long as there is still a person in armor, not an inch can be lost." ”

The Western Army has always had a tradition of preserving its strength, and this defeat to Lou Room did not save the descendants of the Western Army, and the reason why they did not dare to fight to the death was that they did not dare to fight to the death.

Moreover, the battle report only said that Yehuling was lost, but there were not many casualties, so it was obvious that he did not dare to fight to the death. However, the Western Army is indeed relatively miserable, starting from Western Xia, many of the fierce battles have been fought by them. Yao Pingzhong, as the commander of the Western Army, can't help but consider the feelings of his father, Qin Long's youth and strength, how much is left? There are widows' villages everywhere, so that all of them, the last Western Army, will be poked in the backbone even if they win.

Fortunately, it had little impact on the battle situation, so Yang Lin was not prepared to pursue them excessively, and planned to just beat them, and then send Wu Jue's Yizhou soldiers and horses to support, so that they would be ashamed and brave.

Wu Jue clenched his fists heavily, and said in a condensed voice: "The last general will definitely fight bloodily, block Yan Lou's room, and take care of Shaozai." ”

Yang Lin nodded, got up slightly, and said, "Finish the city, armor soldiers, defend the key points!" Reduce casualties, hold is victory, wait for my orders. ”

"Yes!"

Yang Lin stood up and said, "Send someone to the front line in Jingzhou, tell Han Shizhong, let him release more than a dozen prisoners, cut off his ears and noses, and give Zong Han's head to Wanyan Agu to beat." If you pass another sentence to him, you will say that Zong Han and Zong Wang's children are not enemies, and the gold lord should not forget the hatred of Wu Qimai, and it is advisable to come to the Great Wall to fight with me. ”
