At the beginning of August of the second year of Jingkang, Yue Fei, who was in full swing to prepare for the defense of Guanzhong, received a spy report from the north, about the news that the general of the Jin State Wanyan Lou was also in full swing to prepare for the third war of aggression against the Song Dynasty, this spy report came a little suddenly, but when Yue Fan saw his own mark on it, his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, according to the agreement, he lost the news and did not contact them for almost half a year, but they were still faithfully performing their tasks, and they could not find Yue Fu, so they passed the information to Yue Fei.

Using the method of letter delivery, I don't know how many people have changed hands, so that no matter how much Yue Fei pursues, he can't find any information about the person who originally delivered the news, this is also one of Yue Fei's requirements, absolutely not to expose his identity, if he feels that he is exposed, then eat the "golden pill" as soon as possible, end his life, and burn everything he has, this is your fate, from the day you promised to do things for me, it is so destined.

Yue Fei took the information with tears in his eyes, and Yue Fei began to plan the details of the war, such as analyzing how the Jin soldiers would go south, how to attack, what route to choose, and when to attack in an all-round way, and passed the news to the emperor Zhao Huan, who was far away in Yingtianfu, and asked him to pay more attention, he must start preparing for defense, and it is impossible for the Jin soldiers to only attack Guanzhong and ignore another military stronghold, Yingtianfu, after all, it is already the military and political center of the Great Song Dynasty.

Yue Fei began to convene frequent military meetings, and at the military meetings, Yue Fei marked the entire map of Guanzhong and the part bordering Guanzhong in detail in the area currently controlled by the Jin State, and invited the generals and staff members with military talents to participate in the meeting to discuss how to fight this battle. After many meetings and discussions, two key points were generally identified.

Fuping and Tongguan.

There were no more than two routes of attack by the Jin soldiers. From the north, from the east.

To the west is the land of Western Xia and Hehuang. Although the locals have been at war with the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, they are not unclear about the wolf ambitions of the Jin people, especially the Western Xia, although they have been defeated by the Jin people many times, but after all, they have not let the Jin people take any advantage, and they also understand that if the Jin Kingdom destroys the Great Song Dynasty, the next step will definitely be them. Therefore, under the cold lips and teeth, the Great Song Dynasty has the possibility of forming an alliance with the Western Xia, although the current northwest governor of the Great Song Dynasty, Yue Fei, has repeatedly attacked the Western Xia.

Because of this, Yue Fei's proposal makes sense, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, if the Great Song Dynasty fails, can Xixia be left alone? Jurchen wolf ambition, without the main firepower of the Jurchens for you to clamp down, can you guarantee that you can survive? Brothers. Long heart, the main force has been swallowed by me, what do you want?

I have to say, in terms of life-saving. The Tangut people are second to none powerful, so although Emperor Dangxiang replied angrily to accuse Yue Fei of being cruel and unkind, he still had to agree with Yue Fei's philosophy - never let any other place occupy an inch of the party's land! It doesn't work even if you pass by! Never give way!

The story of the false path to extinction. Yue sorted it out and put it together into a book. gave it to the Emperor Xiang of the party and opened his eyes. I have a long insight and know when I can stab myself in the back and when I can't.

If one weak one can't resist the other weak, then the final result is that both weak ones will be swallowed by the strong one.

At this moment, the threat from the northwest of the Western Xia side was temporarily lifted, and even the Western Xia would stand with the Great Song Dynasty and resist the oppression of the Jin State together, but all this must be based on the premise that the Great Song Dynasty could gain an advantage in the Battle of Guanzhong, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that the Western Xia will not take advantage of the fire to rob, they have a way out, and the Great Song does not.

The land of Hebei is now in chaos, there is no unified order, although there are many resistance organizations of the people's army, it is just a plate of scattered sand, the Jin army is going south again, and I don't know if they dare to stand up, so the Hebei defense line is in vain, and what the Great Song Dynasty can grasp at present is the Yellow River defense line on the Yellow River, which is the most important defense line of the Great Song Dynasty.

But in the same way, north of the Yellow River, the Great Song Dynasty did not have the ability to restore its rule, so if the main force of the Jin soldiers arrived in Hebei and made a detour, the soldiers began to march from two directions, and a main force directly turned to the west and ran to the northwest, all the way unimpeded, until Luoyang would encounter limited resistance, and until Tongguan, it was the starting point of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, so if you march from east to west, Tongguan will be very important.

This is just an assumption, or one of the Jin army's march routes, the march will never put all the strength at one point, this is their self-confidence, every time they take a military action, they tend to use the smallest force to obtain the maximum benefit, so for them, for the not strong opponent Great Song, they can't put 200,000 soldiers and horses together, that's unrealistic.

So where the second route is, it is debatable, but everyone at least has a unified understanding, that is, the main force of a Jin army will definitely come from the north and directly attack Guanzhong and even Shuzhong.

"I thought that the Jin army would come from Taiyuan, Taiyuan has been breached, the national defense line is in vain, from Taiyuan to the south, can be directly inserted between Chang'an and Luoyang, and can even cross Tongguan, directly attack Chang'an, cut off the connection between the Western Army and the main force of the Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, so that even if the main force of Ying Tianfu wants to support, it will not be able to support, if Chang'an is lost, Tongguan will have no need to guard, and it will lose its meaning, so it is necessary for our army to arrive in Taiyuan, redeploy national defense on the Taiyuan front, and strive for the initiative!" Xihe Shuai Liu Xi said.

Yue shook his head, only felt that the term tiger father and dog son was very suitable for Liu Zhongwu and Liu Xi, Taiyuan, Yao Gu and the two armies of the Western Army in the seed division were all broken and sunk, can the current Xihe Army? Without the Yao family army as the main force, can the Xihe army really be able to fight to the death with the Jin army face to face? Now, in addition to the Yongxing Army personally controlled by Yue Fei, only the Jingyuan Army, which is still in Qu Duan's hands, can drink the Jin Army to fight face-to-face.

"The last general thinks otherwise, Taiyuan has been lost, the city wall is broken, and it has lost the value of recovery, even if it is recovered, it is difficult to play the previous role, so instead of spending all his troops in Taiyuan and the Jin soldiers to fight a decisive battle, it is better to put the Jin army in, and fight with the Jin army in the mountains and hills that we are good at, and also limit the cavalry advantage of the Jin soldiers, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort." It was Liu Xi's younger brother Liu Qi who said this, his voice was not loud, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed to oppose his brother's opinion, his father had died, his eldest brother was like his father, and Liu Xi had absolute oppressive power over Liu Qi.

Sure enough, Liu Xi glanced at Liu Qi dissatisfiedly and scolded: "Don't talk!" ”

Liu Qi was depressed for a while, and still didn't speak, but Qin Fengshuai Zhang Xian, who joined Qin Feng, spoke: "I thought Uncle Xin (Liu Qi's words) still made sense, after all, our army was deficient in cavalry, and lost a lot of cavalry in the Battle of Tokyo before, and now the cavalry found in the entire northwest is only 40,000, and the Jin army has 100,000 iron cavalry at every turn, and we don't have so many war horses to make up for it, so we must choose the terrain we are good at to fight, which is more beneficial to us."

Taiyuan City has been dilapidated, unbearable to defend, the previous line of defense has no need to recover, put the Jin people in, put them in our bags and beat hard, that is the most beneficial to us, we have many soldiers, and it is the home battle, for us, occupy the advantage of terrain and troops, the right time and place and people occupy the second, as for the time, if it is a downpour on the day of the war, it is the best. ”

Zhang Xian's words are very weighty, as a fierce general who has been following Yue Fei to the death and making great achievements, Zhang Xian's prestige is still very much, so as soon as Zhang Xian spoke, Liu Xi's opinion was pressed to the bottom, and it was directly vetoed, and everyone began to discuss how to choose a new battlefield, and the generals began to talk about their opinions, but Yue Fei put his eyes on Yue Zhuan, who had not spoken: "Peng Zhan, what about your opinion?" ”

As soon as Yue Fei exited, everyone was quiet, and they almost forgot that the young man in front of him was not just a champion, he was the flower of a famous general who could use 30,000 soldiers and horses to fight out 100,000 golden soldiers, and the only one in the Song Dynasty who could achieve such a record on the frontal battlefield, and his achievements were brilliant in the annals of history, this great god had not yet spoken, how could they speak? So they held their breath and focused their eyes on Yue Zhuan.

Yue Pan took a deep breath and pointed to an eye-catching marker on the map.

"Fuping?" Yue Fei frowned, and then his eyes were full of light, at the same time, Wu Jue was also full of light, looking at Yue Fei with a radiant look, his heart is really worthy of being the flower of the famous generals who fought out the 100,000 gold army, a model of both civil and military affairs, this battle can have Yue Flip in command, the winning rate will increase greatly, originally he had a forty percent chance of winning, but now he has eighty percent! However, if this is just the case, it can only be said that Yue Pengzhan is nothing more than that.

Liu Xi couldn't help but speak: "Although Fuping is important, it is located in the plain, which is conducive to the surprise attack of the golden soldiers and iron cavalry, and is not conducive to the battle of our army!" ”

Wu Lan said: "Otherwise, Fuping is located in the plain, although it is beneficial to the Jin army, but the last general actually surveyed Fuping and found that there is a piece of land with very dangerous terrain, and most importantly, there is a large area of reeds there!" ”

Reeds!

Therefore, to speak with facts, Wu Lan, who had done his homework in advance, had the upper hand, although the land of Fuping was a plain, easy to attack and difficult to defend, but there was a reed swing in the place to rush, which was wet all the year round, and it was all wet mud, and it was still difficult for people to go up, not to mention the high-speed moving war horse?

Wu Jue was a little depressed and didn't realize the ventilation with his younger brother, but it was really unreasonable not to give his younger brother face in front of so many people, he and Wu Ling were not like Liu Xi and Liu Qi, he loved his younger brother very much, but ......

"No, not in Bupyeong, I mean, here." Yue Fan suddenly spoke, and the finger on the map moved slightly from Fuping to the north: "Qin Chuan." (To be continued.) )
