As for the concept of landing operations put forward by Huang Jie back then, the Dao of the Seed Master is actually deeply studied, but since the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, although the history of ancient and modern warfare can be used to carry the volume, it is really a blank for the experience of this type of combat mode.

After all, the wars of the past and present have only been fought back and forth on the Central Plains, Jiangnan and Mobei, which are three points of land per acre, and it is naturally unprecedented for Huang Jie to carry out a landing operation between the white mountains and black waters that span the Goryeo Peninsula and go straight into Liaodong.

However, although he could not help in the battle plan, he has not made no achievements in Hebei in recent years, first of all, he finally integrated the various Qinwang armies that were chaotic at the beginning into a force worthy of a war. In addition, the quality of the soldiers was optimized and streamlined, and according to the establishment of the Western Army, it was integrated into four armies, with a total of 120,000 troops.

In addition, the Anshun Army (that is, Gaoyang County), which was also behind Xiongzhou, single-handedly created an artillery casting workshop with a scale of 1,000 people, and at present, more than 120 standard artillery pieces have been made, of which more than 40 are imitated by local methods, and the rest are genuine artillery pieces that have been refined and cast by craftsmen borrowed from Huangzhou.

And the seed master finally admitted at this time that it was indeed not easy for Huang Jie to cast cannons in Huangzhou, after all, he had the official status of the imperial court, and he could raise materials and manpower to the greatest extent, but casting cannons was not based on his temperament, and he could cast as many as he wanted.

In addition, it is also relying on the old Cheng Cheng of the Planter Dao to build six giant fortress-like storage warehouses near Xiongzhou, and relying on the patience of ants moving, a batch of war preparation materials have been accumulated. Compared with the original time when Tong Guan presided over the Northern Expedition, the material reserves were more complete, not to mention, the security measures were also stricter, according to the planter's own estimate, it was enough to meet the needs of 200,000 troops for three years.

It can be said that the planting master Dao has made all the preparations in Hebei, but now he has thrown the burden and credit of the Northern Expedition on Huang Jie's shoulders!

On the first day of the fifth month of the second year of the main road, when the army had just been settled, Tokyo sent a joint trick from Empress Taishang and Emperor Ji, the governor of the country, to specially appoint the king of Huainan County as the envoy of the Northern Expedition, the deputy governor of Hebei Road and the supervision of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which was officially given the right to command.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Zhang and Li also sent news from Dading Mansion, saying that they had received the edict of the gold lord and were finally able to go east to the Ning Mansion of the Jin Kingdom to meet Yan Wu and beg for purchase. However, after looking at the designated route sent back by Zhang and Li, Huang Jie and Seed Master Dao unanimously asserted that this was a delaying plan by the Jin people.

According to the normal situation, from Dading Mansion to Huining Mansion, go straight east through Xingzhong Mansion, Longhua Prefecture, Huanglong Mansion can be reached, but Jin Guo asked Zhang and Li to go north to Linhuang Mansion and then east to Changchun Prefecture, and finally arrived at Huining Mansion.

However, at this time, because there were no peace talks, it was naturally not a good time to start a war, so Huang Jie also helped the cultivator to regulate his body while starting a series of plans and measures for landing operations.

There is no need to talk about the matter of conditioning the body with the master Dao, although Huang Jie has learned a few loose hands with his master Zhu Taozhi, but it is still not enough for now. But the good news is that although Zhao Huan was crazy and took all the kings and Zhao clansmen to Mount Tai to make meat buns for beating dogs, he was stunned and preserved the Great Song Tai Hospital.

After getting Huang Jie's request, the Empress Dowager Zheng immediately made the decision to move almost half of the Tai Hospital to Xiongzhou, and with the help of such a person, she really controlled the condition of the seed master, after a month of conditioning, not only the old seed can get out of bed and walk around, but also eat two catties of mutton and three bowls of corn or soup cakes at each meal, and his complexion is getting better day by day.

At the same time, Huang Jie was not idle, first, he transferred 30,000 imperial chariot troops and 30,000 Shenwu troops to Qingzhou (now Qingxian County, Hebei) to build a military port in a place called the mouth of the Donkey Ju River, and then moved more than 1,000 warships from the bow Haihe River that he had commissioned to collect by the Seed Master Dao here, so that the imperial chariot and Shenwu armies began to cross the sea adaptation training.

On the other hand, they contacted the Goryeo court to send guides, and sent a pathfinder team composed of missionaries, Nighthawks, and Huangzhou Wei to land on the Goryeo Peninsula to collect land and hydrological data for the landing of the army.

By July, Zhang and Li had slowly climbed to Linhuang Mansion, but Huang Jie had already obtained the first batch of land and hydrological data.

First of all, according to the information sent back by the first detachment of the pathfinder team, there is no road system on the Goryeo Peninsula that can be called an official road according to the regulations of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the type of main road near the capital city of Kaegyong (present-day Kaesong, North Korea) can be called a "road" at most, which is inferior to the county roads of the Great Song Dynasty.

Moreover, because Goryeo had fought with the Jurchen Lazydian in the north before, the land roads were also seriously damaged, and there were many mountainous areas in the north of Goryeo, so the feasibility of directly landing in Goryeo and attacking the Jin Kingdom from the north was not high.

Secondly, under the leadership of the Goryeo guide, the second detachment of the pathfinder team crossed the peninsula, and went north to the sea in the Wonsan area, which Huang Jie named "East Goryeo Bay" (that is, East Korea Bay), and successfully found the "Douman River Estuary" (that is, the Tumen River Estuary, the Korean pronunciation is Douman River) that Huang Jie had already marked on the map.

After receiving this news, Huang Jie immediately ordered the requisition of 1,500 craftsmen from Huangzhou Construction to rush to Goryeo, and contracted labor and materials to build a fast official road from Xijing (now Pyongyang) to Wonsan for Goryeo, and at the same time set up a navy under the jurisdiction of Hebei Road, called the "East China Sea Fleet", and secretly sent pathfinder ships around the Goryeo Peninsula to explore hydrology, ocean currents, wind direction and other information.

At this point, Huang Jie's plan for the beach-grabbing landing operation gradually became clear: the attacking troops first arrived at Xijing in Goryeo by sea, then arrived at Wonsan by land, and then boarded the empty ship that had been arranged at Wonsan and went straight to the mouth of the Douman River to land.

At the beginning of August, Zhang and Li finally arrived at Huining Mansion, but the news that came back was not optimistic, and it did not say how the two of them finally met Zhao Ji and his son, who were taken as prisoners by Wanyan Wu Qimai, and how they hugged their heads and cried, so they said that Wu begged to buy a lion and opened his mouth, and first opened his mouth to rule the river (Yellow River) with the Great Song Dynasty, and then asked Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan father and son for a ransom of 10,000 taels of silver each, and the seventeen princes who are still alive today are each 10 million taels of silver, as well as the price of 1 million taels of silver each for the emperor, horses and other idle people. almost scared Zhang and Li unconscious.

Let's not talk about the feasibility of this river (Yellow River) and governance, just the ransom of 20,000 taels of silver for Zhao Ji's father and son is too terrifying!
