Chapter 1385 Planning the layout, the Jin army is powerful, why attack it?

Xiao Tang first took Phi Island, and then occupied Baozhou, and then with the Liaodong Zhulu rebellion when the army swarmed up, and successively occupied the Xuan, Ding, two military states, the environment around the forces are staggered, with the collapse of the Liao Dynasty in the local rule instead became the eye of the storm, regardless of the storm outside, but with the retreat of a few wandering rebels after the center of the calm and calm, but also for a period of time to recuperate.

In the past few years, Xiao Tang appointed Wen Huanzhang to preside over the civil affairs of Sanzhou and Haizhen, built houses, sea trade and business, and provided the necessary conditions for fishing and hunting, farming, and animal husbandry to meet the people's livelihood. Although it is only a small state compared to the behemoth countries such as Song and Liao, considering the surrounding turbulent times, it is not easy to accommodate such a large number of people in a safe corner.

As for the military and political affairs, the resentful army led by Dong Xiaocun, the three armies of Jishan led by Yuan Lang, Ji Ji, Xi Sheng and other troops with the Han family Erlang as the main body, as well as the Khitan tribes under the control of the Yan brothers, and the Bohai Rangers and other armies under the control of the Yan brothers guarded the Rong guard. At the same time, it shelters the homeless people, trains the troops in Tuntian, trains the villagers, and reserves the source of soldiers...... Originally, the Jin State was busy annexing the entire territory of the Liao Dynasty, concentrating its forces on Xijing Road and Nanjing Road, so naturally it had no time to take care of a few inconspicuous places on the eastern border.

It's just that now that several military states have developed to the same momentum as they are now, and the officials of the Jin State are not blind, when they noticed that after the situation in Liaodong stabilized, there was still a force in the border areas that quietly grew, and they were afraid that they would also be aware of it back then, but because of the rapid rise of the Jurchen tribes, the Liao army that was unable to track down the Tokyo Dao was about to fall and was unable to track down the question, would inevitably take action.

However, it would be best if the Jin army could be delayed for a while, but if the Jin army noticed the rise of several territories in the rear and was bound to either surrender or conquer to eliminate the hidden dangers, Xiao Tang also knew that he had the ability to fight against the Jin army.

Because Baozhou and several other military prefectures belonged to the disputed territories after the repeated wars between the Liao Dynasty and Goryeo, they were located on the east bank of the Yalu River, and they were separated from the Liao Dynasty by the Kaizhou of Tokyo (later Dandong City, Liaoning Province). In his previous life, Xiao Tang had traveled to Dandong, Liaoning, and saw with his own eyes the two bridges that Japan forcibly built on the Yalu River in the early 20th century in order to invade the motherland for deployment, but later in the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the US military blew up in order to cut off the supply line of the volunteers, and the length of the bridge was more than 900 meters across the river.

Although the Jin army is brave, it has always been not good at water warfare, and in the official history, before the shame of Jingkang, the Song army, which did not attach importance to the water army, fought many of the great victories against the invasion of the Jin army. The battle with the Jin Army will eventually face off sooner or later, and it must also rely on the combat power of the eight divisions of the current naval army, not only Xiao Tang knows this, but the leaders of the military divisions in the Juyi Hall who are good at adapting measures to local conditions and planning are of course also very clear.

“...... The three armies led by the three Ruan brothers, Chenglang, Jiang, and Zhuhai are still stationed in Liangshan Boshui Village, after all, their brothers are all local and familiar with the geography and water potential, and since the Song army is eager to unite with the Jin army to go north to attack Liao, it is no longer able to plot to attack the two big villages of our army in the Song Dynasty. If the situation in the north changes, and the three heroes of the Nguyen Thi lead their troops to respond by waterway, they can also be guaranteed for the time being.

The Li Jun brothers, under the command of Jinghai, Hengjiang, Qianlong, Fubo, and Baihe, were all transferred to Phidaohai Town and Baozhou Port, and it was important to first investigate and familiarize themselves with the terrain and water conditions. Now Jiangdong and Jiangnan have complete fortifications, supervise and supervise the defense affairs, and cut off the Jin army ships in the middle of the river...... If there is a change in the war in Liaodong and Song Realm, and the naval armies everywhere adapt to the situation and dispatch back and forth by water, it is expected that the Jin Kingdom will not be able to stop us. ”

In the Juyi Hall, Xiao Jiasui said eloquently that he and Xiao Tang had already deduced the strategic arrangements of Song, Jin, Liao and their own forces in the future. If there is no preparation for a water war, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to only recruit large and small fishing boats to break through the defenses on the river and capture the fortresses on the shore.

At first, Xiao Tang acted in the officialdom and the green forest on the occasion of the double line of private construction and purchase of seaborne ships in the name of maritime trade, after several years of accumulation, the Jiangnan Road Jiangning Mansion Navy Army under the command of Liu Menglong was also a very large-scale official army naval division, and most of the more than 500 ships under his command were also captured by the naval forces of the Xiao and Tang Dynasties, and now they have also formed several largest official and military naval divisions that are not inferior to the Song Tingcheng Naval Army and the Pinghai Marine Army.

Now gather all the horses and horses under Xiao Tang's command, even if it is still difficult to compete with the military strength of the Jin State that is enough to annex the Liao Dynasty and invade the Great Song Dynasty, but at least with the help of the danger of the great rivers and rivers, it has the confidence to fight with it, and the sailors of their own side have transferred troops and horses to and fro by sea, presumably the Jin State is also powerless to intercept.

Xiao Tang and Xiao Jiasui and other confidants also calculated that if the Jin army really wanted to invade the Song Dynasty, it must first encroach on the borders of Hebei and Hedong, and then cross the Yellow River to attack Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty. At that time, while the soldiers of the Mabu Army in Qingzhou Erlong Mountain and Shuibo Liangshan in the Song Dynasty were dispatched to wait for an opportunity to send troops to resist the enemy, they would send surprise troops from Baozhou, Phi Dao and other places to harass the rear of the Jin State. After all, the Jurchens have not been established for a long time, and the people's hearts are not stable, if the war in the Song Dynasty is blocked, and there are worries in the country, the population of their own nationality is not large, and it is necessary to recruit a large number of Liao troops to surrender troops, and the armies in the northern regions take care of one or the other.

And now, although the Song court still regards Xiao Tang as an anti-thief and enemy who must be exterminated one day, when the true nature of the Jin State is revealed, it will eventually invade the south and cause the Zhao Great Song Dynasty to be in danger of losing the country. When the soldiers and horses of all roads under the command of Xiao Tang held high the banner of righteousness and resisted the Jin army's encroachment on Jiangshan Sheji, the Song court must also realize who would be the real mortal enemy who could completely destroy him, and who would be the object of the alliance for the time being. Seed Master Dao, Seed Master Zhong, Wu Jue, Liu Qi, Yao Pingzhong...... and many generals loyal to the Song court, such as Yue Fei, who was impartial and selfish, and who had completely broken with himself, and the soldiers of the forbidden army who were still determined to resist foreign humiliation, would not once again become comrades-in-arms who could share the same hatred with their own soldiers and horses. If the situation evolves to that point, Xiao Tang expected that he would be able to take the initiative to carry out a full-scale war, and even annex and destroy the Jin Kingdom.

At that time, the Liao State fell, and Xiao Tang on the western front led the army to take advantage of the situation to enter the land of Yanyun in Hebei, although he changed the direction on the eastern front, but he also crossed the Yalu River with great vigor and high spirits, and went straight to the white mountains and black waters where the Huanglong enterprising Jurchen tribes thrived...... Even if the Song court is no longer willing to watch its own power grow, it will already have the foundation to build a country by occupying a large area of territory in the past of the Liao Dynasty, and it will also have the strength to truly compete with the Song, Liao, Jin and other great powers.

This is also after Xiao Tang's careful consideration, and he imagined that the confidants and brothers who had gathered with him did not have to bear the reputation of the green forest for the rest of their lives, but promised their origin and future.

In the hall, after Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong and other brothers successively agreed on other leaders who would go to sea by water, as well as various details such as material transfer, Xiao Tang nodded, and said: "Taking advantage of the fact that the Song and Jin countries are only focusing on raising troops to invade Liao, our army also has the opportunity to plan and arrange, but now there is still a hidden danger...... It is the Goryeo Kingdom south of Baoju. ”
