Chapter 33: Expedition to the West

Zhao Huan's bold proposal shocked everyone present, this thinking is too jumpy, this side of the capital is besieged, but that side is thinking of sneaking up on other people's capitals.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this plan is feasible, isn't this trick used to save Zhao in the history of Wei Wei?" Yue Fei was the first to stand up and agree.

Li Gang glared at Yue Fei, but raised an objection and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this plan is theoretically feasible, but in practice it is extremely difficult to operate!" ”

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "You talk about it carefully." ”

Li Gang pondered for a moment and said to Zhao Huan: "First of all, we don't know where the capital of the Jin Kingdom is, even if we want to attack it, it's a little unrealistic. ”

Zhao Huan nodded, what Li Gang said was also reasonable, at that time, the transportation was not convenient, the communication was not developed, the Song Dynasty only thought about the southeast, and really didn't know anything about the Jin court.

"This is not difficult, I know where the capital of the Jin Kingdom is, it is here!" Zhao Huan said, lightly tapping on the map, and said, "Here!" (Heilongjiang Acheng)

"This?" Li Gang was a little hesitant, to be honest, if it weren't for Zhao Huan is emperor, he would have wanted to say that you made up such a place from there.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how you know that the capital of the Jin Kingdom is in this place?" Li Gang hesitated, but still asked.

"Oh, I caught a Jin Guo's fine work two days ago, and from his mouth, this news is absolutely accurate, you believe it." Zhao Huan said to Li Gang.

Li Gang secretly said in his heart: "This fine work won't lie to you, just tell you a place, can you just let the army fight, it's too child's play." ”

Li Gang thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say this to Zhao Huan, so he could only vaguely remind: "If you want to sneak attack the capital of Jinguo, if you want to go there from Zhejiang, it will not be possible to achieve it in two months, and it is really difficult to alleviate the siege of Bianjing through this plan." ”

Zhao Huan nodded, but he didn't give up his idea, and said: "It is impossible to solve the current crisis, but if you want to fundamentally solve the threat of the Jin Kingdom, this is a shortcut." ”

Li Gang didn't expect Zhao Huan to think so far-reaching, he was only thinking about solving the siege of the capital in front of him, but the emperor here was thinking about how to destroy the other country.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that taking advantage of the current emptiness of the Jin State's troops, the capital of the Jin State was wiped out in one fell swoop?" Zong Ze asked with some surprise, this thinking is too jumpy, and they can't keep up.

"Well, offense is the best defense, I believe that Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai would never have dreamed that we would dare to bypass and attack Huining Mansion, Wanyan Zonghan led an army of 300,000 to come, and the country of Jin must be empty, 100,000 people will pass, it is enough!" Zhao Huan said softly.

This news was like a bomb, which made several people in front of them a little confused, it turned out that the battle could still be fought like this. In the past, their thinking was too rigid, but now when Zhao Huan said it, they couldn't help but think about it.

"Han Shizhong, this matter is entrusted to you to do, can you do it?" Zhao Huan opened his mouth to ask Han Shizhong.

Han Shizhong is one of the few naval generals in the Great Song army, but Han Shizhong is sometimes easy to rejoice, Zhao Huan is really a little worried about his leadership, after all, this kind of thing is only theoretical, the sea route is long, the northern region has been occupied by the Jin army, and the 100,000 naval army led by Han Shizhong needs to be self-sufficient after leaving Zhejiang, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Han Shizhong was still a scoundrel before he was eighteen years old, and he was very bold, and when he heard Zhao Huan's plan at this time, he immediately jumped up and said to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty, the minister must live up to his mission!" ”

"Okay, Han Shizhong listens to the order, I will appoint you as the general of Zhengyuan, Yang Zaixing as the deputy general, and Zhang Jun as the military advisor, leading my 60,000 naval army of the Great Song Dynasty to conquer Huining Mansion!" Zhao Huan said to Han Shizhong.

"Command!" Han Shizhong hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhao Huan thought for a while and advised: "This expedition, after the Jin army gets the news, it will definitely retreat north, you must not fall in love with the war, and when the time comes, Wanyan Wu beggars and Wanyan Zonghan will make dumplings." ”

Han Shizhong hurriedly nodded and agreed.

Yue Fei thought for a while and said to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can order Wu Jie to lead the Western Army and attack the flank of the Jin Army from the Western Road, so that the pressure on Bianjing Mansion can be relieved. ”

Li Gang shook his head and proposed: "Your Majesty, Wu Jie's still needs to defend against the attack of the Western Xia court, once the troops are deployed, in case the Western Xia takes the opportunity to attack, it will be a great disadvantage to our army." ”

Western Xia, Zhao Huan did not have a good impression of this country, he always felt that this country was like a ruffian, the Western Xia Kingdom was weak, and in the process of many wars with the Song State, he lost more and won less, but the previous Northern Song Dynasty court still gave the Western Xia Kingdom New Year's coins every year, and it was really aggrieved to imagine.

"Hmm!" Zhao Huan took a deep breath, and when he really fought, he would find that the 300,000 troops were really a little stretched thin.

"Western Xia really has to be defended, if Western Xia and Jin Kingdom join forces to attack Song, my Great Song will definitely be difficult to deal with." Zhao Huan pondered for a while and said: "But the people of the Jin State are very arrogant, at this time, they will definitely not unite with the Western Xia, but it is not necessarily the case in the later period, in this way, the decree asked Wu Jie to leave 10,000 people to garrison, send scouts, pay close attention to the movements of the Western Xia army, and send 50,000 people to set off from the West Road to attack the flank of the Jin State, and if the Western Xia army has any abnormal movements, immediately retreat." ”

The generals had no opinion on Zhao Huan's proposal, and it was true that as Zhao Huan said, the Jin State had always looked down on the Song State, and it was easy to destroy the Song State, and in this case, it was natural that he would not talk about cooperation with the Western Xia.

Poor communication is Zhao Huanjue's most headache, the emperor issued an order, spread to the place, even if it is eight hundred miles urgent, it will be a day later, if this is on the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, a day's time, I don't know what the situation on the battlefield has become.

After discussing the plan, everyone dispersed, and the powerful state apparatus of the Song Army began to operate rapidly, and the courtyard of the "Great Song Daily" under the Honglu Temple was brightly lit at this time, and more than a dozen people were in full swing to print the newspaper to be published tomorrow.

The interior of the Ordnance Department was also brightly lit at this time, and after batches of Jingkang Lei were packed, they were sent to the camp of the Feiyu Army.

War, on the verge of breaking out!
