Many years later, Yue Tuo and his subordinates chatted and drank and recalled that at the beginning, everyone had a contradiction on the key proposition of when to take the first step to achieve a great cause, which is related to how the historian writes history books, so everyone has expressed their opinions, many people think that it should be Yue Tuo to get the three-yuan champion Lang and then go south to Jiangnan South Road as an official, that time is the first step, and some people think that it is when Yue Tuo makes up his mind to raise troops to the north, that is the first step.

Yue Fan drank wine, looked at the big guy with a smile, and finally slowly came to a conclusion - on Taihang Mountain, when discussing the future general policy with Lu Junyi and Yan Qing was the real first step.

At that time, many people were surprised, thinking that why Yue Flip would list this time period, and everyone didn't seem to think that this was the first step, Yue Flip said, this is the beginning of my rebirth, and the beginning of my old life.

Looking back in time, Yan Qing's question did make Yue look at him a lot, indeed, to achieve great things, it is not possible to have a plan, just like Liu Bang and Liu Bei, the first half of life is an extreme failure, one was chased back and forth by Qin soldiers, and the other was chased back and forth by Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, and later, they were respectively planned by Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang for them, and set a general policy, and since then, their lives have become brilliant.

This shows how important it is to have a plan that is practical, reasonable, well-founded, far-sighted, and not brain-dead.

Yue Tuo does not have such a talent, or in other words, it is impossible for any talent to see farther than him at this time, and he will not believe other people's words and predictions at will. Especially in this era when history has changed beyond recognition, and in the era of history that has been changed by one's own hands. What the future holds, no one knows. Even he didn't know.

So, what's next?

Taihang Mountain is the backbone of China, to the west, it is the land of Guanzhong, to the east, it is Liaodong and the sea, and to the south, it is the essence of Handi. To the north, there is a grassland of thousands of miles.

Where do I go from here?

Yue Flip was indeed confused, but it was only a moment, almost at the fastest speed, Yue Flip understood how to go in the future, going south would definitely not work, he didn't want to go back at this time, there was no point in going back, it was just the hero's return. He didn't want to rely on the Zhao Song royal family to avenge him, in that battle, the debt to the Zhao Song royal family had already been paid off, and his own hatred. You have to report it yourself.

It doesn't work to the north, there is no strong cavalry, and to the north is just to find death. On the steppe, the Jurchens and the slowly rising Mongols. No one is a good match.

To the east, the land of Liaodong is the nest of the Jurchens. Needless to mention, as for the sea, Da Song's navigation skills are indeed quite high, but what is the use of going to the sea? To seize the Japanese island and establish a base? Thinking too much......

Then there is only one way left, to the west.

"What do you think the gold thief will do next?" Yue Fu thought for a long time, and then slowly spoke.

Lu Junyi was stunned for a moment, obviously didn't have any special ideas, and shifted his gaze to Yan Qing, which fully showed that Lu Junyi had difficulty finding Xiao Yi, Yan Qing's smart eyes turned around, and finally seemed to show a helpless expression, and said: "Although it can be expected that the gold thief will definitely not be able to swallow this breath of heavy losses this time, and the emperor is in full swing to prepare for revenge, the gold thief will definitely not sit still, and will definitely strike first, but when to fight, how to fight, and where to fight, Xiao Yi does not know at all." ”

Lu Junyi sighed, and then spoke: "Xiao Yi doesn't know anything else, and it's difficult for me to come up with any other opinions, I can only say, you know this thing best, how can we know it?" ”

Yue Tuo was slightly disappointed in his heart, but it was still understandable that Lu Junyi and Yan Qing were mostly fighting guerrillas in the deep mountains and old forests, and their vision was strictly restricted, and Yan Qing was undoubtedly more sensitive to this, so he asked Yue Tuo if he had any more long-term plans, and he must have realized that he couldn't be a guerrilla for the rest of his life, and if he wanted revenge, the guerrillas couldn't succeed, and they needed a large corps!

So, what to do?

Taking a deep breath, Yue turned his mouth and said: "What can be known now is that the gold thief was killed by me in a battle of 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the national strength was greatly damaged, which was also a great blow to their morale.

Therefore, I guess their top priority is to restore morale, restore the confidence of the army, and it doesn't matter if they lose the battle or something, but a big defeat is very terrible for them, and under the premise of smooth sailing, a sudden defeat or a big defeat is an extremely huge blow to them, and many people will have doubts about their faith, and even lose confidence.

The most important thing in the army is morale and training, if you lose morale, you can't fight, you can't win without training, the Jurchens don't lack training, what they lack is morale, so they will definitely choose a soft persimmon to pinch it first, restore a little morale, and then slowly transfer troops to prepare a stronger, more numerous, better equipped, and stronger army than in the past to invade the south!

The last time was already a war to destroy the country, this time I am afraid that we want to destroy the country and destroy the species, but it will definitely not be so easy, their speed is not so fast, and it will take time to deploy troops, even the Jurchen soldiers, especially the servant army and puppet army of the rest of the tribes, need more time to mobilize and train, at least within a year, they will not be able to go to war, and the same, I predict that within five years, the Great Song Dynasty will not be able to counterattack the Northern Expedition.

But in a year's time, enough for the Great Song Dynasty to organize an army with sufficient defense capabilities to fight a defensive war with the Jin soldiers, the number of female real soldiers is small, very expensive, and one less one dies, this time we eliminated nearly 50,000, that is one-third of their number of regular soldiers, the loss is not heavy, the next estimate is also in the number of 50,000, so it is more precious, the main force will be the puppet army of the rest of the ethnic groups.

Although it is a Jin soldier, but the combat effectiveness is far inferior to the Jurchen soldiers, not to mention the beginning of the Jin State, I don't know the reason why the army has not moved the grain and grass first, they only know that the war feeds the war, constantly looting, destroying, in order to obtain grain and grass, and destroying the production before the Great Song Dynasty, not let us have a good time, but after Hebei was destroyed, they have been unable to get more supplies from Hebei, and after the chaos in Hebei, the civil armed forces swarmed, if the Jin soldiers want to go south, if I raise my arms and shout, I may not be blocked how many times.

The Jurchens who pity their troops will never dare to fight hard, and the civilian armed forces in Hebei are not the regular army of the Great Song Dynasty, and they cannot hurt the root of the Great Song Dynasty, only by finding the seat of the government of the Great Song Dynasty and eliminating the main force of the regular army of the Great Song Dynasty is the only way for them They will definitely choose a smooth road to find the main force of the Great Song Dynasty for a decisive battle, in order to defeat the main force of the Great Song Dynasty in a war and make the Great Song Dynasty collapse, so as to obtain more benefits.

So, next time, they will have more soldiers and horses on the surface, and they may divide the army and reach more than 200,000, but they will be more vulnerable, and along the way, how much grain and grass do people need to eat and chew? How much do you need for clothing, shoes, and shelter? They have so many horses, how can they have so much grass and grain for horses and men to eat? If they can't raise enough food and grass, we can make a desperate attempt to find the main force of our army for a decisive battle, or simply retreat.

It is unlikely that they will retreat, they have lost face once, and they will not lose the second time, so it is most likely to look for the decisive battle of the main force of our army in a desperate gamble, they will definitely know that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and the royal family are in Nanjing Yingtianfu, the last time is a two-way attack on Tokyo, and the next time, it may be a three-way or four-way attack on Nanjing, on the way, the two routes of the army will not be missed, they are familiar with the road, they will definitely go, but the other one or two are not necessarily.

Moreover, without my news, the Jin soldiers are not afraid of any Great Song generals, and it is very likely that they will attack Nanjing with the main force, and at the same time supplement their military with partial divisions and even the second main force to advance the grain and grass of the Great Song Dynasty, so where will they attack? ”

Lu Junyi and Yan Qing were completely immersed in Yue Fan's analysis, nodding from time to time, hearing Yue Fan's inquiry, Lu Junyi frowned, but Yan Qing's eyes were shining, and after a while, he blurted out: "Guanzhong!" Northwest! ”

Yue chuckled: "Or further, it is the country of abundance of Guanzhong and the Northwest Gongwei!" Nishikawa! ”

Xichuan, Shudi, that is the best hinterland of China given by God, in countless disasters of national destruction, because of Shudi, so it was spared, because of Shudi, to continue life!

Yue Fan's mind was completely opened: "If they enter Nanjing with a main force, 100,000, or 150,000, and in addition, take advantage of the Great Song Dynasty's rush to defend Nanjing with the strength of the whole country and suddenly attack the northwest and Shudi, then, how should the Great Song Dynasty fight on two fronts?" The main force of the Great Song Dynasty is completely gathered in Yingtianfu, and constantly gathers to Yingtianfu from all over the world, Yingtianfu is strong, but what about the east and the west? What about Nishikawa? How to defend it? Can the Great Song Dynasty deal with the enemy in the north, and at the same time free up his hands to command the defense of the northwest and the defense of Xichuan?

Once the northwest is lost, Shu is in danger, Shu is lost, and the world is in danger! The gold thief can go thousands of miles into the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the south of the Yangtze River will be ruined! The Great Song Dynasty will also be destroyed in one fell swoop, so protecting the northwest is protecting the Shu land, and protecting the Shu land is protecting the world! You may think that what I said is a bit exaggerated, but what the Jin people don't know, there must be Han people who know, if these Han people are still shameless traitors, betraying their ancestors and abandoning their ancestors, they will definitely offer advice to the Jurchen thieves to take Xichuan to clamp down on the Great Song Dynasty, and replenish grain and grass by the way!
