Yue Tuo's strategy is naturally no problem, Zhao Ding is just because his discipline value is too high, so it is difficult to speak, in fact, the exchanges between countries, between large countries and small countries, there is no need for any psychological burden at all, as long as you do your best to seek benefits for yourself, as for the rest, do not care if he lives or dies?

Zhao Ding is really not too much of a prime minister like him in the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ding is very gentle with his own people, and he doesn't seem to be tough on outsiders, so he gets along with the leaders of those tribes more happily, and it is really a little reluctant to let him do this kind of thing, but there is no more qualified and capable person in the court to come forward to do this kind of thing.

Yue Tuo himself was pulled to the Privy Council by Yue Fei, and regardless of whether Yue Tuo, who is the second-in-command of the East Mansion, should avoid suspicion, it stands to reason that after the capital was moved, the East Mansion and the West Mansion did not participate in each other, but the second in command of the East Mansion Yue Flip was the flower of the world-famous generals, and he was a good hand in politics and the army, so everyone did not avoid suspicion, and directly pulled Yue Flip into the Privy Council.

Wu Yong, the leader of the Privy Council, was also a subordinate of Yue Tuo, although times have changed now, but Wu Yong still agrees with Yue Tuo's ability and foresight, and when Yue Tuo went home on leave, the emperor sent to inquire about it, some of which are difficult for the Privy Council to choose, Zong Ze also has a deep relationship with Wu Yong, and greatly appreciates Yue Tuo's talent and conduct, plus Yue Tuo, like Zong Ze, was also transferred from a civil minister to a military minister, but now his talent is too high, and it is too wasteful not to govern the country.

Even so, the Privy Council has always believed that Yue Tuo's military standards are very high, and coupled with Yue Tuo's own proud achievements, people are very convinced of Yue Tuo's decision. The emperor didn't say much, and the rest of the officials in Dongfu didn't have this ability, so they obediently did what they should do. Imitating Tang Zhen's view, the text is the text. Martial arts are martial arts, and the two have nothing to do with each other.

Besides, there are so many things in the court that need to be dealt with by civil officials, such as reconstruction, reconstruction, and Khitan remnants, which are enough to make the few remaining civil officials anxious, and they have no leisure to participate in military affairs, and Zhao Huan handed over government affairs to Zhao Ding to deal with it with full authority. took Yue Tuo to the Privy Council to discuss the military plane, which was very similar to Zhao Guangyi's posture back then.

"All in all, this is not a war to destroy the country, the Great Song Dynasty has no material preparations for the war of annihilation, even if there is such military strength, there is no material strength, the military strength must be built on material resources, without the support of material resources, no matter how strong the military strength is, it will not be able to exert itself. Therefore, the generals must remember that this is a counterattack, not a war of annihilation. Be sure to strictly follow the set goals!

I don't care what method you use when carrying out the mission, but once the mission is successfully completed. Immediately cease your march and turn to the fortifications of the place. Don't take any chances, or else. Even if there is merit, it will not be deterred! Yue Flip held a long stick in his hand, and issued the most important instructions to the generals very seriously, and his majestic momentum made Zhao Huan very satisfied, and he couldn't help but nod and continue to listen to the plan of the Privy Council.

Wu Yong stood up, stood on the left side of Yue Fan, and pointed to the northwest with a long stick: "The party thieves are still in a tentative battle, and after being counterattacked by General Zhang Xian once, they have not continued to march, but are stationed on the spot, in a wait-and-see state, I guess, they are also hesitating, whether to continue to march, or stop advancing, but according to the analysis, the possibility of continuing to march is extremely great."

The Privy Council has issued an order to General Zhang Xian, ordering him to fortify on the spot, only to defend, not to attack, and other inconsequential places can be discarded, creating the illusion that our army's military strength is not enough, attracting a larger-scale attack by party thieves, and to draw out as many mobile troops and horses in the country as possible, and General Zhang Xian's current task is to keep several strategic points from being lost, not to let the party thieves drive straight in, and not to act arbitrarily before General Yue Fei arrives in Chang'an.

After General Yue Fei gathered the main force and prepared for battle, it was a foregone conclusion whether the party thieves would increase their troops to attack, and at that time, no matter whether the party thieves increased their troops or not, the main goal of our army was to eat this invading enemy in one bite! Ladies and gentlemen, during the great war at the end of the Xuanhe year, the Western Army drove straight into the border of the party thieves for hundreds of miles, almost arrived at Xingqing Mansion, and also set up a large number of castles in these places for defense, and now, these castles are the magic weapon for us to completely annihilate these party thieves......"

Wu Yong talked eloquently, his military ability was unobstructed, the generals listened carefully, Zhao Huan and Yue Fu were also listening carefully, and when they heard some controversies, Yue Fei and Zong Ze would stand up and question them, Wu Yonghui emphasized his purpose in doing this, Zong Ze's military level was not too high, and he often couldn't find the problem, but Yue Fei was a natural famous general, and he could see at a glance the lack of Wu Yong's strategic deployment.

Wu Yong estimated that the Western Xia government army was no more than 100,000 at most, and the number of troops drawn out to fight would not exceed 70,000 at most, which was the limit, but Yue Fei thought that this was underestimating the ability of the party to launch a war.

The regular army suffered heavy losses, but the private power of the wealthy families did not have too many losses, as long as the emperor of the party was willing to pay the price, he was ruthless, and tens of thousands of troops could take it!

When the Western Army attacked the party thieves, it was repeatedly broken, but the actual number of party troops killed was not too much, if the Western Army wanted to launch a war of annihilation against the party members, 200,000 troops, the party people could definitely take it, not to the extent of the war of annihilation, 100,000 troops, although the party members were hurting, but it was not impossible to take out, we can't underestimate the party people.

Why didn't the Jurchens destroy the party members when they were marching west? At that time, the party members had been beaten very badly by us, it was because the party people were not only poor and brutal, but also had considerable military strength in hand, the Jurchens felt that the gains outweighed the losses, so they gave up the battle plan of the party people.

Although the battle plan designed by Wu Yong is reasonable, the intensity is obviously insufficient, and it is very likely that the bamboo basket will be empty, so it is necessary to strengthen the intensity, strengthen the military strength and strike intensity, including the border guards of the Western Army, at least 50,000 troops are needed to be effective.

Wu Yong doesn't see it that way, since it is a counterattack war, there is no need to take the problem too seriously, if the fight is too fierce, once the army is exhausted and the party members do not retreat, it will be over, the entire northwest defense line will collapse, if you go too far and there is no food transportation, it will also be a dead end for the whole army, can you afford it?

Yue Fei shook his head, I can't look at the enemy too simply, I am from the Western Army, I have fought with the Dangxiang people for several years, and I have fought no less than fifty battles, I know far more about the Dangxiang people than you, they are not so easy to die, and they are not so easy to be defeated, otherwise, a big defeat like Haoshuichuan and Yongle City, how can ordinary enemies be created?

The party thief is the enemy of the country, not a petty fight!

The two argued, and the generals in the army also had their own opinions, and for a while the quarrel broke out, Zhao Huan frowned, and shouted angrily: "Shut up!" Military affairs, how can there be a struggle of will! ”

Zhao Huan's majesty became more and more prosperous, and all the generals and ministers accused one after another, Zhao Huan shook his head and set his eyes on Yue Xuan: "Yue Qing, tell me, how to deal with this matter?" I think that what Wu Qing and General Yue said is reasonable, how to decide? ”

Zhao Huan habitually asked Yue Tuo, thinking that he could get the correct answer, Yue Tuo also repeatedly lived up to his trust and gave a more reasonable solution, this time was no exception, Yue Tuo made a comprehensive judgment, and felt that according to the situation of many wars between the two sides in history, Yue Fei's strategy was more suitable for judging the actual situation.

"The party thieves seem to be weak, but in fact they still have considerable strength, the previous decline made them think that we think they are very weak, but the party thieves are treacherous and cunning, when Emperor Renzong, the Great Song Dynasty has been repeatedly deceived by the party thieves, and there are many former Great Song Dynasty fallen scholars within the party thieves, which are very rampant, but they understand the reality of the Great Song Dynasty very well, maybe it is to show weakness to induce the Great Song to look down on them.

In fact, they have secretly prepared a considerable amount of strength, do you remember the defeat of Mikawaguchi and Komizukawa? Our army is the first to win and then defeat, repeatedly deceived by the party thief's plan to show weakness, and finally defeated, the cunning of the party thief, we must not underestimate, not to mention the current lack of material resources in our army, can mobilize the only army, let alone the slightest carry, therefore, I am more inclined to General Yue Fei's idea of strengthening the strength. ”

Yue Tuo made a judgment with a fair heart, Wu Yong looked at the map carefully, and had to admit that there was indeed such a possibility, the actions of the party members were a little strange, and they did not continue to attack after the first battle, and it stands to reason that this should not be the case, unless they are waiting for more troops to support.

Zhao Huan pondered it carefully, nodded, and said: "I think Yue Qing's words are very reasonable, the Great Song Dynasty and the party thieves are also quite bitter, in the past hundred years, continuous conquests, to this day, there is still no result, I have always felt strange, the Great Song Dynasty is a big country, but it has been coerced by a mere western thief so far, especially now that the Great Song Dynasty has defeated the Jurchens and has a stronger army, there is no reason why the Western thieves cannot be destroyed."

It's just that the Great Song Dynasty is still lacking in military supplies and food, so it can't deal with the Western Thieves like this, but the Western Thieves are still the same cunning, Sanchuankou, Haoshuichuan, and Yongle City, and they have been defeated several times, and I feel very heartbroken, so no matter what, you must also be cautious, what Yue Qing said, the generals must keep in mind that they must strictly abide by the military regulations, otherwise, even if they have merit, they will not be spared! ”

As soon as Zhao Huan spoke, the generals were solemn and promised one after another, and they would never act rashly.

Zhao Huan ordered Yue Fei, the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, to take full responsibility for this battle, and he must repel the army of Western thieves and give them a little color! (To be continued.) )
