Zhao Chen and the others headed towards the operations department of the staff headquarters!

Now there are more than 500 people in the combat department, and these 500 people are all outstanding officers in the army! They all have combat experience, and they all perform extraordinary in battle, and they know how to use resourcefulness! In addition, they have more or less a cultural foundation, which is also rare in this era! In this era, the literacy rate is extremely low, most of the soldiers are illiterate, and these people are undoubtedly the cultural elite in the army! Over the past year, in the General Staff Headquarters, Wang Shu, Yu Yunwen, Yue Fei, Qu Duan and others have also imparted knowledge to these people and passed on their experience to the staff officers of these combat offices!

The entire Operations Division is also divided into several agencies, including the processing of emergency intelligence, including the processing of domestic and foreign forms, including the formulation of strategic plans, and so on! And now the battle plan for Western Xia is a strategic plan and an emergency intelligence agency!

Zhao Chen has come here at this moment, and he is looking at this battle plan!

The battle plan was written in exceptional detail, including an analysis of the domestic situation in Western Xia, including the number of troops to be used this time, including the transportation of logistics, including the approximate offensive route, and so on! There are more than ten pages in the battle plan, and after a while, Zhao Chen finished reading this battle plan!

"Your Majesty, we really don't have the strength to fight on three sides now! Therefore, before we use force against Western Xia, we must contain the Jurchens and King Kang! Qu Duan is the chief of the operations department, at this moment.

"How can we contain their power?" Zhao Chen said.

"For the Jurchens, we can use the rebel armies of Hedong and Hebei! Now the number of rebels in Hedong and Hebei has exceeded 300,000, and these rebels are under our control! Wang Gui, the leader of the rebel army, was originally your personal entourage, and he was also the eldest brother of General Yue Fei, and they would not disobey our orders! This time, the 300,000 rebel army will launch an attack on important strongholds in Hedong and Hebei, so that the Jurchens will not be able to advance westward! If necessary, we will even sacrifice all these 300,000 rebels! Let them contain the Jurchens at all costs! Qu Duan said.

"All sacrifices?" Zhao Chen frowned slightly.

"For the sake of the victory of the whole, the necessary sacrifices are acceptable! If not, we will really fall into a situation of attacking from three sides, and Guanshan and Hanzhong will be lost! At that time, we no longer have the power to return to heaven! Qu Duan said.

"What about King Kang? How to contain them? Zhao Chen said.

"To contain King Kang, you need General Wu Jie! We want to create the illusion that General Wu Jie is about to go down the Yangtze River! We can send a large number of intelligence officers south into Jiangnan to create rumors! In this way, King Kang will inevitably mobilize a large army to the south, and they will not be able to look westward! Qu Duan said.

"Not bad!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"Western Xia is also a large country in the northwest, with a huge land area, a large number of cities, and about 400,000 troops! If we want to fight against Western Xia, we must use the strength of at least two armies! Moreover, almost all the grain and grass accumulated in the past year have to be used in this battle! Qu Duan said again.

"Use two armies! Li Xianzhong led the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army to enter the territory of Western Xia from Yongxing Road, and Zhao Zhe led the Jingyuan Army to enter the territory of Western Xia from Qinfeng Road! The two armies marched together, with the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army as the main force, and the Jingyuan Army mainly engaged in sabotage operations! Wang Shu said on the side.

"Your Majesty, neither army can do it! Western Xia has been able to fight against our Great Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, and its strength is strong! After His Majesty ascended the throne, the infantry drill code was implemented, and the strength of our army was at least ten times higher than before! But even so, we can't underestimate Western Xia, I think the Huanqing army must mobilize at least half of the troops! In this way, with 250,000 troops entering the territory of Western Xia, it is possible to achieve victory on the battlefield and change the situation of being attacked from three sides! Yue Fei said.

Zhao Chen nodded! These battle plans are all there, but these people just explained them in more detail!

"Your Majesty, after we got the information that Western Xia was about to move last winter, we immediately began to formulate relevant battle plans! Moreover, we have already ordered the armies to start mobilizing for war! In particular, the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army and the Jingyuan Army are ready to attack at any time! In addition, we have sent someone to inform Wang Gui, the envoy of Hedong, to let Wang Gui launch an attack on the Jurchen strongholds in Hedong and Hebei at all costs! We have also sent a large number of intelligence officers south to Jiangnan! Your Majesty, if you don't return, we will go to war against Western Xia on the day of the Lantern Festival! Now that Your Majesty is back, everything needs to be decided by Your Majesty! Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen was stunned, he didn't expect that they had already planned everything and mobilized everything!

"Your Majesty, in fact, Western Xia is a threat that we must face! Even if the Western Xia are not ready to move, we must fight against the Western Xia! If we were on the way to fight with King Kang and the Jurchens, and the Western Xia suddenly came out from behind, that would be bad! Therefore, before fighting with King Kang and Jurchen, we have to make it difficult for Western Xia to go south! Qu Duan said.

"Your Majesty, Western Xia is just showing momentum now! They sent Li Qianming here to test His Majesty! If His Majesty gives in, they will inevitably put forward even more excessive conditions! If Your Majesty hadn't given in, they would have an excuse to go south! Now the Western Xia should not be ready for war in China, and there should still be differences in their country! Now is the right time to attack Western Xia! We attack suddenly, they are unprepared, we can take them by surprise! Yue Fei said.

"Can we win this battle?" Zhao Chen said.

He really didn't expect that he had just returned to Guanshan and would face such a situation!

"Your Majesty, our soldiers are united! Sure you win! Qu Duan said.

"Your Majesty, make a decision early!" Yue Fei said again.

"Pass the order, the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army, the Jingyuan Army, and the Huanqing Army will go north on the same day and attack Western Xia! I personally supervised the battle, and Qu Duan and Yu Yunwen followed me forward! Yue Fei, Minister of Military Aircraft, stayed in Guanshaan, took charge of military affairs in Guanshan, and acted cheaply! After a long time, Zhao Chen said violently!

The time for war should not be missed, and once it is missed, it is difficult to find the opportunity again! Originally, whether it was Yue Fei, Qu Duan, or Yu Yunwen, they all felt that they could wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but today, the envoys of Western Xia arrived, and the heart of Western Xia was clearly revealed, and there was no room for delay at this time! Therefore, Yue Fei and the others all asked Zhao Chen to make a decision immediately! When the army went north, it was also the day when Wang Gui launched a large-scale attack in Hedong and Hebei, and it was also the day when rumors rose in the south of the Yangtze River! This is a war close to the war of annihilation, Zhao Chen, as the emperor, personally supervised the war, in order to stimulate the morale of the soldiers, so that the soldiers dare not slack off, understand the importance of this war, in order to defeat the enemy!

Zhao Chen looked at the battle plan in his hand, and he was also amazed! This is a battle plan that fully takes into account all the conditions in China, Jiangnan, Jurchen, and Western Xia. This is the result of the wisdom of hundreds of men in the War Service, and to some extent it has proven what the Germans had put forward in the first place - even the best genius commander in history cannot compare with a well-organized staff headquarters! Even Yue Fei, the god of war in this era, wanted to analyze so much domestic and foreign intelligence by himself, and in such a short period of time, he could formulate a plan to contain the Jurchens and King Kang and enter Western Xia from the north and south, and at the same time to do war mobilization and material deployment at the first time when the intelligence appeared!

******

From the moment Zhao Chen gave the battle order, Guan Shaanxi's huge war machine began to move!

Thousands of imperial soldiers rode in all directions, some in the direction of northern Shaanxi, some in the direction of Fengxiang Mansion, some in the direction of Jingyuan Road, and some in the direction of Dasanguan! The armies in all directions will be mobilized in accordance with the battle plan of the General Staff Headquarters, and the grain and grass baggage from all over the country will also be transported in the direction of Western Xia! It is the soldiers of the Production and Construction Corps who are responsible for transporting grain and grass, and according to the battle plan, these soldiers of the Production and Construction Corps will also go to the battlefield and participate in the Western Xia battle when necessary!

On the tenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, in the area of the security army in northern Shaanxi, there is still heavy snow here!

There are more than 100 simple houses on a desolate land, and this is where a military camp belonging to the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army is located!

The cold wind is howling, and the sky is unusually dark! In such a situation, the soldiers here are still training!

Thousands of soldiers with spears in their hands, they lined up in a neat line, and with a shout of "kill", they kept stabbing forward! Use all your strength!

The weather was unusually cold, and the faces of the soldiers were red from the cold, but not a single one stopped, and not one of them lagged behind! A "kill" spread far away, and the sound was neat and sharp!

In addition to them, there were running soldiers in the distance, they were running from far away, panting and sweating one by one! The soldiers ran to the barracks and laughed!

Farther away, in the snow, there are soldiers training shirtless in the snow! They gritted their teeth and endured the cold, but still no one was left behind, and no one complained! They smeared the snow on their bodies, and the biting cold came and their skin turned red! When the training stopped, the soldiers laughed too!

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard from a distance, and I saw three people riding in the distance towards this side! Someone in the barracks immediately greeted him!

"Who?" Someone asked loudly.

"Urgent military intelligence! Emergency military intelligence! The three people were also wearing the uniforms of the Song Army, and the person who led the way said loudly at this moment.

"What emergency military intelligence?" The soldier in the barracks asked.

The three of them had stopped their horses at this moment, and the three of them got off their horses, and one of them strode over, saying, "Where is General Mo?" Get him out! It's an emergency military situation in the military department! ”

Hearing that it was the emergency military situation of the military department, someone immediately went to find the General Mo who was in charge of this military camp!

Not long after, a general in his twenties ran towards here! He is the person in charge of this barracks, Mo Biao, the commander of the Third Army of the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army!

When he arrived, the cavalry who had come to report the news immediately sent a letter from the military headquarters!

"Gather the army now!" Mo Biao read the ten lines at a glance, and said loudly at the moment.

"General, what's the matter?" An adjutant next to him said.

"We're going north to war! General Li Xianzhong sent an order, we immediately went to Yan'an Mansion to join the army of Yan'an Mansion, and 100,000 forbidden troops from northern Shaanxi should enter the territory of Western Xia within five days and conquer Hongzhou! Mo Biao said.

"What?" The lieutenant stayed there!

"Don't go and gather the army yet? Within half an hour, we have to pack everything up, and we have to go to Yan'an Mansion overnight! Mo Biao said loudly.

"Yes!" The lieutenant said with a surprised expression on his face.

Say:

Have a nice weekend!
