Of course, the three strategies offered by Ma Kuo are the most suitable for Zhao Ta's appetite, and they are also in line with his original ideas and plans...... After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhao Ta left Ma Kuo to share lunch to discuss the details of solving the problem of Dali in detail, and thought of a plan to deal with possible situations, and then let him go back to rest. At the court meeting the next day, Zhao Ta appointed Ma Kuo as the envoy of the Southwest Third Route System, and added the title of secretary of the Ministry of Rites to Dali to deal with the Dali turmoil on behalf of the imperial court. He also gave the royal pen the right to dispose of the camera and mobilize the Jiangling Town Fusi and various state armies.

Poor Ma Kuo didn't have time to inform his family, and on the second day after the decree was issued, he led a few people and more than a dozen staff members selected from the officials who accompanied him, and embarked on the journey to Dali under the escort of a team of guards. Because of the urgency of the matter, they took the road from Shaanxi to Sichuan to Dali, this road is mostly in the mountains, winding and dangerous, but it can shorten a lot of distance, needless to say.

After the mission was released, Zhao Ta informed the southwestern state capitals and garrisons of the edict and asked them to cooperate with each other. Of course, he will not forget the revenge of Jin He's killing, and the day before the mission came out, Xue Hai had already led a detachment of 'Jiaolong' to Dali, and he presided over the elimination of the culprit and the rebellion against the barbarian tribes, paving the way for Dali to return to the Song Dynasty. And Jiangling Zhenfu Si also received the order to send troops into Dali to annihilate the armies of the Gao family and the Dong family, and disarm Dali.

Zhao Tan's goal is very clear, he wants to eliminate the anti-Song forces in Dali in one fell swoop, eradicate the local warlords, eliminate the unstable factors around the Great Song Dynasty, and lay a good foundation for the next Northern Expedition Jurchen, lest the front is fighting and the backyard is on fire. If you can't do it, you can't go up or down, and you can't advance or retreat. And on the other hand. Occupying Dali, the Tibetans were almost already surrounded by the Great Song and Western Xia, and controlled all their access to and from the plateau. making it an 'island'......

…………

With Ma Kuo presiding over the affairs of Dali, Zhao Ta can finally go on vacation with peace of mind, but after such a toss, more than a month has passed, and seeing that it is autumn, he decided to move to the Fuhu Forest near Dading Mansion to hunt. It is the palace of the Liao Emperors in the past, mainly to go into the mountains to shoot and hunt, to hunt tigers and deer, so it is also called 'Autumn Mountain'. Akiyama events have the same strong ceremonial color as spring water, and events such as banquets and competitions are held during hunting. At the same time, it also has the function of learning martial arts and teaching warfare.

Zhao Ta's hunting trip, of course, is different from that of the Liao Emperor, in addition to strengthening the connection with the Khitans through these activities, he can also show force, deter the tribes, and eliminate their rebellious hearts, which has the meaning of both grace and power. However, his idea was opposed by the ministers, because Fuhulin was near the demarcation line drawn by the Song and Jin, and heavy troops were stationed on the Jin side. Once they learned the information that Emperor Song was here and took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, wouldn't the emperor become meat sent to the dog's mouth.

Zhao Ta didn't care about everyone's worries, he thought that it should not be him who was nervous, but the Jurchens. Because last time, Zhao Tan used his southern tour as a cover to suddenly start a war to seize the sixteen states of Yanyun. has always made them palpitate, and every time he travels, he will attract the attention of the whole Jin Kingdom, worried that he will make small moves. Now they should be worried about whether the Great Song Emperor will come here to engage in any conspiracy. Is it a sudden war in the name of hunting?

In order to show his heroism, the emperor insisted on fighting the tiger. A group of ministers and several imperial concubines couldn't persuade them, and they could only increase their troops to ensure the emperor's integrity. Time. The Krüp, the Cavalry Hunters, and the Desert Army were all dispatched to join the ranks of the escorts, while the Dadingfu Road, Linhuangfu Road, and Datongfu Road Prefecture troops were also stationed in the border forts to blockade the border, strengthen the guards, and strictly prevent the Jin army from attacking by surprises.

Moreover, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty came to inspect the Khitan hometown with friendship, and the host could not let him have trouble on his own territory, especially his own princess and county lord, so the nobles of the two Khitan remnants of the Yelu clan and the Xiao clan also led the clan soldiers on their respective reserves to join the ranks of the entourage, and followed the holy driving team into the Fuhulin area.

This is good, the Great Song side has 70,000 soldiers on the border. Although the Jurchens already knew that the other party claimed that the emperor had come here to shoot the tiger, no one would take it lightly in the face of the pressure of the army, especially since there was a conflict with the Mugwu people just last year, who dared to say that this was not the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty who raised troops to retaliate. According to the analysis of the Jinguo think tanks, according to the 'careful eye' Zhao Er's temper will never give up, and he will definitely find an opportunity to make up for it.

In the face of Zhao Er, who likes to pretend to be a ghost and make a noise, the Jurchens can't help but respond with a spirit of twelve points. On the one hand, they adopted the policy of 'rushing into the forts', strictly ordering the nomadic and farming units in the border areas to retreat to the boundary trenches, and on the other hand, they mobilized troops to enter the forts along the boundary trenches to prepare for war, and strictly ordered the defenders everywhere not to allow any provocation against the Great Song Dynasty, and even if the enemy intended to provoke, they should try to tolerate it as much as possible, so as not to give the Great Song an excuse to go to war.

The Tatars, who had been the vanguard of the attack on the Mughurs, also reacted quickly when they heard the news, ordering the various departments to move eastward to the vicinity of the Jin border trenches, and the nomadic points should be close to each other, so as to avoid being divided and surrounded by the troops sent by the Great Song Dynasty. Now that the Song army entered the grassland in a big way, do not resist, but try to enter the Jin country to avoid and preserve strength, in order to make a comeback, and never fight a decisive battle with the Song army, losing all the old capital......

Zhao Ta was very angry with everyone's kindness, and it was really a big fuss to use so many troops just for his own hunting safety, and more importantly, he had to pay out of his pocket. Because according to the practice of the Great Song Dynasty for many years, the officers and soldiers of the Emperor will receive a certain reward after the event, that is, the current 'hardship fee', and this money is not reimbursed by the government, and the emperor has to withdraw it from his own treasury.

Fortunately, Zhao Ta has always had the magic of turning waste into treasure, since money is also paid, he has to make himself feel that it is worth paying. In the past, the Liao people used hunting to teach warfare, so why not, so hunting became a proofreading, and an autumn exercise codenamed 'Breakthrough' began. The exercise was based on a large-scale war between the Song and Jin dynasties from a border conflict, with the Jin army taking the lead in crossing the border and launching a surprise attack, and the Song army launching a comprehensive counterattack as the theme, interspersed with counter-raids, quick assembly, fortress attack and defense, and group field warfare......

And Zhao Ta wanted to engage in such an exercise, and it was definitely not because he was distressed about a few dollars that he had a whim. Since the 'Battle of Goryeo', the Song and Jin countries have not had a large-scale armed conflict for several years, although the troops are trained every year, and the review is every two years, but the tactics and tactics used have not changed much, and they are still the same as artillery bombardment, cavalry rushing, and infantry fighting soy sauce, and these tactics have won many battles in foreign wars, which inevitably makes everyone slack, thinking that they can rely on this to fight all over the world invincible.

However, Zhao Ta felt a sense of crisis, and the tactics and tactics used by the Great Song army were formulated by him more than 20 years ago, targeting the nomadic people with cavalry as the main force. At that time, the first teams were unprepared for this army that appeared out of thin air with firearms as the main equipment, and the underestimation of the power of firearms, of course, they were beaten as soon as they engaged, and thus achieved a series of victories.

Zhao Ta knew that in the history of warfare, hot weapons would eventually replace cold weapons and become the master of the battlefield, but it was not uncommon for an army equipped with firearms to be defeated by an army using broadswords and bows and arrows, and there were countless examples of inferior equipment defeating superior equipment. Didn't the great man once say, "It is not the weapons but the people who decide the victory in the war," which shows that as long as the corresponding strategy and tactics are adopted, the power of firearms can be restrained by fully wielding the power of one's own weapons.

The ancients were not stupid, and they also knew how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages. The reason why famous generals can become famous generals is that in addition to opportunities and current affairs, they also have keen thinking, know how to eat opinions and grow wise, and know how to use what they have in their hands to defeat the enemy after suffering losses.

In several battles between Tong Guò and the Jurchens, Zhao Ta showed that the Jurchens were also summing up the experience of defeat after experiencing the initial defeat, and constantly tried new tactics. Especially in the siege of Kaijing in the war to aid Goryeo, Wushu built layers of fortifications to restrain the impact of the Song cavalry, reduce the damage of artillery fire, and used trebuchets to confront the Song army's artillery, although the result was still a failure, but it also made them understand that this tactic was effective. In the battle between the Jin Kingdom and the Mughurs that broke out not long ago, Zhao Ta has quietly changed from the Jurchens, to be precise, it should be said that it is a change.

The Xianjin army reorganized their main cavalry force, Tiefutu, and its soldiers were all from the Jurchen tribes, which ensured the loyalty of the army, strengthened discipline, and did not break up in brutal battles. And the armor on their bodies is thicker than before, which increases their protection. The main weapons were also replaced by long-handled weapons such as long knives and spears from the flexible one-handed knives in the past, which were obviously used to restrain the hussars of the Song army, so as to ensure that the two armies would not suffer losses because of weapons in the hedging.

Secondly, the infantry in the Jin army is an auxiliary army, and they do some hard work of digging ditches, building fortifications, transporting materials, or cannon fodder used to consume the enemy's strength. Now that the status of the infantry army has improved, the tens of thousands of crossbowmen who appeared in the battle are proof of this, and they will appear on the battlefield against the Song army in the future to suppress the charge of the Song cavalry and shoot at the Lianzhu spears......
