Hearing Sun Chuanting's words, everyone's expressions eased a lot, but except for Zhao Jin, no one else smiled, no matter what Cao Cao said, it was not a comparison of flatterers, but Zhao Jin nodded slightly.

"What's more, the world is suffering, but the land of Xuzhou is a paradise on earth, and this paradise on earth is not supported by the power of the world."

In the end, he said something that seemed to be chattering, and no one noticed it, but it was Sun Chuanting's emotion.

After a thorough conversation, Sun Chuanting was about to say goodbye and leave, and after returning to Shanxi, whether it was the resettlement of the local new army and the business community, or the communication with the bigwigs of all parties in Beizhili, there were many things to do, and reaching a consensus did not mean that there was nothing to be done immediately, nor could it be done.

When parting, Sun Chuanting said more directly: "Zhao Gong, the big thing is imminent, at this time, we must seek a stable word, with the strength of Xuzhou, it is easy to make great achievements, but if there is a mistake, I am afraid it will be a situation that will never be recovered, which is more important, please consider Zhao Gong." ”

Zhao Jin didn't answer this sentence directly, just looked at the north, everyone talked all night, at this time the sky had already shown the dawn, Zhao Jin pondered for a moment and said: "Advance forward with the momentum of Mount Tai, as long as you follow the rules of using soldiers, there will be no mistakes." ”

Seeing Zhao Jin so confident, Sun Chuanting was about to sigh, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and smiled, Zhao Jin has his self-confidence, he has the capital of this self-confidence.

"It should start fighting now, but it shouldn't be a big fight." Zhao Jin said to himself.

************

From Fuzhou to the north of Gaizhou Acropolis, the official road is nearly 250 miles, and it is generally a flat terrain along the coast.

Before the invasion of the Jurchens in Jianzhou, this is the third prosperous place in Liaozhen, the first is of course the core area of Shenyang and Liaoyang, and the second is the throat of Liaozhen like Guangning, both of which are important towns, with fertile and fertile fields, and also the place where business flows converge, and the coastal line between Fuzhou and Gaizhou Acropolis is blown by the sea breeze, the sea invades, the fields are salinized, barren and abnormal, Jinzhou, Fuzhou and Gaizhou Acropolis are not important towns, why can it become a prosperous area, because of the private port here.

Liaozhen collects its own business tax, their own business is tax-free and unimpeded, but they charge heavy taxes on foreign merchants, and merchants want to obtain higher profits, so they have to smuggle goods into Liaozhen.

The area between the acropolis of Fuzhou and Gaizhou has become a gateway to receive private goods, with almost everyone participating in the brick fort and military households, and the local military generals are the main ones behind the protection.

After the invasion of the Jianzhou Jurchens, this area became a battlefield for the remnants of the Ming army and the Jianzhou Jurchens, in order to prevent the people of Liaozhen from defecting to the Ming army, and the rest of Dongjiang Town landed and harassed by boat, the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses implemented a strong wall in this area, and the people were either concentrated in the city, or driven to the hinterland of Liaozhen.

Now the west coast of the Liaonan Peninsula has become a deserted land, just waiting to become a battlefield for soldiers and horses on both sides.

When the sea was not closed in winter, the squad of the first division of the Zhao Jiajun Provisional Division often landed by boat, either to detect or harass, which gave the Jianzhou Jurchen defenders a headache.

The long coastline has no way to fortify everywhere, especially the Jianzhou soldiers and horses who don't know anything about the sea, they can only set up sentry posts at key points, station small teams of cavalry, ignore the sporadic harassment of the Zhao family's army, just alert the brigade to attack, if there is another action like landing in Jinzhou and Fuzhou, immediately report to the brigade to meet the enemy, and then it can have nothing to do with sea and land, just the conquest and killing of the army.

However, there are only squads from beginning to end, which makes the Baylors of the Jianzhou Jurchen Jin Kingdom breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that this Zhao Jiajun is still immature and does not know how to give full play to their advantages, if the fleet is directly shipped to Lianyun Island or Niangniang Palace, it can directly choke the throat of Liaozhen and advance along the Liaohe River system to the heart of Liaodong, but the other party has missed this best opportunity, the weather is cold, and the sea will also be frozen, so it is impossible to maneuver by sea, and can only advance northward step by land from Jinzhou Fuzhou, This is a matter of water coming to cover up.

If you take the land route, the army of the Zhao family army is stationed in the area of Fuzhou City, and if you want to go north, you can only pass through the four fortresses of Yongning Jian City, Fifty Walled City, Xiong Yueyi, and Yulinpu, which are all at the nodes of the official road, from south to north, almost the interval of one or two days of foot riding.

If the two armies were at war normally, that is to say, the war between the Ming, the Mongols and the Jurchens, as well as the battles to quell the rebellion and the thieves, these four castles would be the most important thing, the military stations where the army marched, and the barracks and grain platforms.

It is impossible for the army to march too fast, under normal circumstances, thirty or forty miles a day is the limit, and when it is stationed, it needs to be sheltered by a fortress, and it needs to be supplied with food and grass.

If you want to advance and retreat calmly, you must ensure that such a fortress is under your control, otherwise there is a danger of being blocked or cut off, and it is likely that you will face the catastrophe of the collapse of the whole army.

Therefore, according to common sense, if the army wants to advance, it can only fight for one fortress after another, and the battle will break out first near these fortresses, from small battles to big battles, and the two armies continue to increase their strength until the decisive battle.

After the Jianzhou Jurchens seized this area, although the people here fled or relocated, and most of the villages were deserted, the four fortresses of Yongning Prison City, Fifty Walled City, Xiongyueyi, and Yulinpu were retained by the Jianzhou Jurchens, and the grain and grass and garrison remained unchanged.

At that time, the remnants of the Ming army were stationed in the area of Jinzhou and Lushun, and the Dengzhou Mansion across the sea was stationed in a large army, and if the Ming army crossed the sea to counterattack, then the Jianzhou Jurchen army would go south along these four fortresses to block it.

It is said that it is common sense for this army to go out on the expedition, maintain the grain road, and build the camp, but the internal line of fighting, naturally how convenient how to come, and the vast majority of the battalion heads of the Ming army, this kind of organizational power has disappeared, the army will only rely on the city and villages, and go out to carry three to five days of food, and the rest rely on local supply, when the supply is not enough, it is to loot and exploit.

As for the Jianzhou Jurchen side, since the beginning of the army, there is no precedent for camping for a long time, from Hetuala to Liaoyang, Shenyang and then to Guangning, this road is a village walled city, rich in reserves, and the Ming army is too weak, there is no case of a long-term siege, currently fighting on the occupied territory, and is also accustomed to relying on dense fortresses and cities as military stations, using civilian houses as barracks to station, and there are not many cases of camping.

Since Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, the armies of the Ming Dynasty and the surrounding forces have become less and less good at field camping, and the nomadic Mongolian tribes are an exception, and the most recent exception is Qi Jiguang's Qi family army.

Now there is another exception, that is, the Zhao family army, this Zhao family army can not only camp, but the city fortress is not an obstacle for them at all.

You lead the soldiers and horses to march hard, to a city, want to take advantage of the city walls and fortifications to rest well, this siege of the city is often calculated in months and years, so it is often safe to enter the city, no matter how bad, relying on the city to fight the enemy, this is also a great advantage.

But this truth doesn't work for Zhao Jiajun, what can you do with high walls and deep ditches, Zhao Jiajun came to swing out with cannons, the city wall is not an obstacle at all, and when you hide in the city, you will be caught in an urn, and the population and food are cheaper than others.

Originally, the nobles of the Jianzhou Jurchen knew this very vaguely, but the Jianzhou Jurchen had too many eyeliners in the Guannei, and the news was constantly passed on, plus the battle examples on the Fuzhou side, no matter how much they didn't believe it, they had to be careful.

Since these cities can't be defended, they simply don't go to defend it, the Liaonan Peninsula has been dilapidated under the continuous clearing and seesawing, and it is still a new occupation, and it is not a pity to lose it.

Pity those Han people in Liaozhen, after experiencing hardships again and again, they finally got a little stability as cattle and horses in these places, and they had to be displaced again.

On the western side of the Liaonan Peninsula, from the Acropolis of Gaizhou to the south to the area of Fuzhou City, this area is almost a no-man's land, just waiting for the army to engage.

Both sides are preparing, the big war has not yet begun, but this area is not really unmanned, the cavalry of the Zhao family army and the Jianzhou Jurchen come and go with dry food, detectives and spies, cover the battlefield, hunt each other, in a sense, the battle has begun.

The provisional first division has a total of only 2,000 cavalry, and the Jianzhou Jurchen army led by Amin has 10,000 cavalry, and the strength and weakness on the battlefield are naturally different.

Knowing oneself and knowing that the enemy will not be defeated in a hundred battles, the enemy situation before the war is a big thing, but in such a narrow strip, each other's soldiers and horses are at both ends, and there are not so many situations that need to be understood.

What's more, more than 20,000 people from the first division and a reinforced regiment of the Zhao family army are here, and it is impossible to increase the number of soldiers and horses before the opening of the sea in the next year, and there is no possibility of any reinforcements, and whether the number of soldiers and horses in Jianzhou Jurchen is 50,000 or 100,000, this battle will always be fought, and once the army moves, it is impossible not to notice each other.

There is no need to detect the enemy's situation, but what should be done before the battle must be done, war, especially a big war, is not better than whom, but who makes fewer mistakes.

Having said that, at this time, the spying hunt between the cavalry is more like a pre-war fight, and although the victory or defeat of a small-scale battle does not affect the overall situation, it can boost morale.

The generals of the Jianzhou Jurchen army especially valued this, in the past, they entered Liao Town from outside the Guan, and the big war and small battles could be said to be victorious, but after encountering the Zhao family's army, it was an exception, first nearly 10,000 troops were helpless to the small fortress of the Zhao family's army on Phi Island, and then they were pushed back by people in Jinzhou and Fuzhou, each time it was a complete defeat, and even the concubines of the Great Khan were also lost, such a defeat no matter how the news was blocked, it also affected morale, so they needed victory.
