After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he nodded towards Qu Duan, and Qu Duan walked up.

"Your Majesty, my lords, the General Staff Headquarters has been discussing the Northern Expedition plan since last year, and we have often contacted many generals at the border gates and listened to the opinions of countless generals at the border gates! In the past few months, the General Staff Headquarters has been discussing this matter day and night! Now I will explain to Your Majesty and your Excellency the plan that has been drawn up. Qu Duan said.

The room was extremely quiet at the moment, and everyone was waiting for Qu Duan to continue.

On the wall in front of him hung a huge map of the north, and at this moment the curved end came to the map.

"We decided to divide our forces into three ways! Among them, there are 220,000 soldiers and horses in the Datong Military Region, and these 220,000 soldiers and horses will go out of Yunneizhou, all the way north into Mayu Mountain, and make a detour from Mayu Mountain to attack Enzhou! General Yue Fei sent more than 10 waves of thousands of soldiers last year and this year to reconnoiter Ma Yu Mountain, and they have thoroughly explored the road of Ma Yu Mountain, and there will be no accidents in passing from here! Qu Duan pointed to the huge arrow to the west.

When he was fighting against the Golden Vulture in the grassland, Yue Fei once led the army through Ma Yu Mountain, and the environment of Ma Yu Mountain was extremely difficult, and the army paid a great price at that time! However, this time, the Datong Military Region has thoroughly explored the road there, and this time it is much easier to cross Mayu Mountain!

"The 220,000 soldiers and horses of the Datong Military Region entered the north of Dadingfu in Zhongjing from the West Road, and General Li Xianzhong led 170,000 soldiers and horses out of Juyong Pass, crossed Jiugongling, attacked Bei'anzhou, Zezhou, and then attacked Yuzhou! This is the middle lane! ”

"The 150,000 troops of the Liaodong Military Region went out of Shanhaiguan and went all the way north to attack Tanzhou, and Danzhou immediately went down to attack Lizhou! This is the Eastern Route Army! ”

"In this way, we will encircle Zhongjing Dading Mansion from the north and south respectively! There are only 100,000 Jurchen troops led by Wanyan Wushu, the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, in the Dading Mansion of Zhongjing, and they are by no means the opponents of our hundreds of thousands of troops! After the siege of Zhongjing, we surrounded but did not fight, waiting for the Khitan army of Yelu Dashi and the Mongols of Hebul Khan to go south! ”

"The Intelligence Department has been paying attention to the news of Yelu Dashi and the Mongols all these years! After the fall of the Liao State, Yelu Dashi went to a very distant place in the northwest, he originally had fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses, and then united more than ten Khitan tribes in the north, and now the number of Khitan troops under his command has exceeded 100,000! Moreover, after the fall of the Liao State, Yelu Dashi tried his courage and was bent on restoring the Liao State, so the current Khitan army has extremely high combat power, although there are only 100,000 people, but it is not easy to deal with! As for the Mongolian Hebul Khan, this person is the hero of the Mongols, uniting more than 100 Mongolian tribes of all sizes, if he really fights, I am afraid that he can also pull up 100,000 soldiers and horses! Of course, the Mongols fought separately from each tribe, and there was no unified command, although the combat effectiveness was very strong, but we didn't take it to heart! Qu Duan said.

The Mongols have been around for hundreds of years, but until Genghis Khan appeared, the Mongols were not worried! The Khitans and Jurchens had restricted the development of the Mongols, the Khitans did not allow any iron weapons to enter the Mongolian steppes in the north, while the Jurchens entered the Mongolian steppes every few years, and as long as they encountered Mongols who were taller than wheels, they would cut off their thumbs and make them unable to use bows and arrows for life! Coupled with the fact that the Mongols themselves were constantly fighting and had many tribes, it was difficult to pose a threat to the southern country! Now this Hebul Khan is nominally the Great Khan of Mongolia, but in fact there are too many tribes under his command, and many of them are yang and yin! Therefore, Qu Duan attaches more importance to the Khitans, but not to the Mongols.

"There may be two situations for the Khitan and Mongol armies to go south, one is that the troops are divided into two routes and go south separately! The Khitans must have gone south from Shangjing, passing through Fengzhou and Raozhou, and after we surround Zhongjing, we can send a large army north to intercept them here! It is also possible that the Mongols went south from Fengzhou and Raozhou, but it is also possible that they passed through Liaodong and bypassed from the Liaodong area! Therefore, our army needs to do a good reconnaissance! Once you enter the north, you must send at least a reconnaissance team of thousands or even tens of thousands of people to prevent any news from the north from being missed! Qu Duan said.

"Of course, there is another situation, the Khitan and Mongols have been staying in Shangjingfu, and they want us and the Jurchens to lose both! However, the number of our army is far superior to that of the Jurchens, if this is the case, the Khitans and Mongols are too confused, and after we destroy Zhongjing, we can slowly go north to destroy them! Qu Duan said.

Qu Duan finished talking about the overall battle plan, and everyone discussed it below, and some people raised different details at the moment, and Qu Duan answered them one by one.

"There are 100,000 resentful troops in the north, they are Guo Yaoshi's subordinates, and they are stationed in Yuzhou! Although General Li Xianzhong has 170,000 troops, the strength of our army will definitely exceed that of the resentful army, but the 170,000 army may not be able to completely annihilate the resentful army, if the resentful army flees from Yuzhou and enters Zhongjing, then the defense force of Zhongjing will reach 200,000, and we are afraid that we will encounter dangers when we conquer Zhongjing! Hu Quan stood up and said.

The resentful army is a special army in the Liao, Song and Jin dynasties! Originally, this army was formed by the Liao people to deal with the Jurchens! But when the Liao State was about to fall, Guo Yaoshi led the resentful army to take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty! When the Jin Kingdom went south, Guo Yaoshi took refuge in the Jin Kingdom with the resentful army! Guo Yaoshi is a famous "Famous General of the Three Dynasties" in history, and the resentful army has limited achievements in history and has hardly participated in many wars! For the combat effectiveness of the resentful army, the Song army can only rely on estimates! Although everyone thinks that the 170,000 troops of the Yanyun Military Region can wipe out 100,000 resentful troops, many ministers are still worried.

"To the north of Yuzhou is Luming Mountain, Yanyun Military Region has 50,000 cavalry, General Liu Qi also has 40,000 cavalry, before attacking Yuzhou, the cavalry of Yanyun Military Region and Liaodong Military Region went north together, blocking all roads in Luming Mountain, and then General Li Xianzhong led the army to besiege the city! If it were possible, the infantry of the Liaodong Military Region would also participate in the Battle of Yuzhou! If we can't completely annihilate the resentful army of Guo Yaoshi with the strength of the two major military regions, it will be too embarrassing! Qu Duan said with a smile.

"Wanyan Zonghan still has 100,000 elite horsemen in the area of Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, although there is now chaos in Liaodong, but no one can guarantee that Wanyan Zonghan will go west to aid Zhongjing! If Yan Zonghan's 100,000 elite horsemen march westward, our battle plan will be completely disrupted! Wang Shu stood up and said.

"It is extremely unlikely that Yan Zonghan will go west! Now that the scale of the Liaodong Righteous Army is huge, it is possible that more than one million Khitans in Liaodong will rise up to rebel! And Liaodong is the birthplace of the Jurchens, and the families of the Jurchen Emperor and the Jurchen army are all in Liaodong, and in such a situation, it is impossible for him to go west! Of course, we also have to take precautions, when the war begins, the two generals Wu Jie and Wu Xuan will lead 100,000 navies to officially land and fight, they will first occupy Jinzhou, then go north to occupy Xingzhongfu, and then attack Wu'an Prefecture, completely cutting off the road from Liaodong to Zhongjing! The 100,000 navy is mainly defensive, although Wanyan Zonghan still has 100,000 elite cavalry under him, but he may not be able to break through the city occupied by the navy! Qu Duan said.

"How to solve the problem of logistics?" Li Chuwen asked.

"We now have sufficient grain and grass reserves, and almost all of this year's grain taxes have been shipped to the major military regions! In addition, we mobilized 300,000 militiamen from the Production and Construction Corps to take on the task of transporting grain and grass! These 300,000 militiamen are also trained on weekdays, and they can even participate in the war as an army when necessary! Qu Duan said.

Below there are constantly people asking questions, and Qu Duan is constantly answering!

In fact, the Northern Expedition plan of the General Staff Headquarters is unusually detailed, and now I am just worried that there are still loopholes, so I summoned all the ministers of the DPRK and China, hoping to learn from others and see if there is anything missing!

It was only after an hour that the discussion stopped, and the room fell silent.

Qu Duan came down from above, and Zhao Chen walked up.

"After recovering the Central Plains and Yanyun last year, in order to restore the economy of the Central Plains and Yanyun, the army temporarily stopped fighting! After a year, of course, the economy of Yanyun and the Central Plains has not yet recovered, but the people here can finally eat, and their families also have food for the winter, so the imperial court is preparing for the Northern Expedition! Almost all of our annual taxes in Guanshan, Hanzhong, Sichuan, Shu, and Jiangnan were spent on the Northern Expedition, and the Datong Military Region, Yanyun Military Region, Liaodong Military Region, and the Navy, plus 300,000 militiamen, we mobilized more than one million soldiers and horses! Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there has hardly been such a large number of troops mobilized! It can be said that this time is a battle for the whole country, and there is no room for loss! Countless elites of the Intelligence Department have been lurking in Liaodong for many years, and now they are all involved in the Liaodong Rebels and participate in the rebellion of the Liaodong Rebels! All the power of the country was spent on this battle! In this battle, the generals should move forward bravely, and their lives must not be spared! In order to fulfill the military order, it is necessary to do whatever it takes! I also want to drive the expedition again and completely eradicate the cancer in the north! This battle will be won! Zhao Chen said.

"This battle will be won!" Everyone below stood up, their voices unusually firm!

"The total population of the Jurchens is not one million, and it is really overkill for us to use a million soldiers and horses to destroy gold! However, the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, not to mention the destruction of the country! It's not early, so rest early! Tomorrow, I will lead all the ministers of civil and military affairs to worship the heavens at the Temple of Heaven, swear to cut gold, and announce it to the world! Zhao Chen said.
