Some people in the court thought that the external troubles had been eliminated, so they could not hold back their ambition to fight for power and profit, and aimed the spearhead at Zhao Ta, who was in the limelight. But there is an old saying, if you want it to perish, you must be crazy, Zhao Li's tactics of retreating as advance are the most appropriate choice at this moment, I think Jiang Ziya was still fishing by the river for a few years!

"Lord Wang, since our army is going to be reorganized according to the order, where is it going to retreat?" Zhao Li turned to the prince and asked.

"Since we want to retreat, we will retreat completely, let's completely withdraw from Hedong and leave it to them to play, right?" Zhao Ta said in dismay, although Zhao Li's words were vague, but he heard that he was asking his bottom line, whether he was still meddling in the affairs of Hedong, after several years of running Hedong, their power is not only the loyal and brave army on the surface, the infiltration of the grassroots political power and economy has been able to completely affect the direction of the political situation, if they want, the ability to make some moves is still there.

"Lord Wang, what about our supply base, are we completely left alone?" Zhao Zhi heard that the prince was going to withdraw completely, and hurriedly asked, their military supplies almost all depend on Hedong supply, once the pressure on logistics is greatly increased, other workshops are good to say, military workshops are the most troublesome, and the most important, materials can be bought at a high price, but there is nowhere to find guns.

"Well, this question is good, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved!" Zhao Ta smiled approvingly and said, "The military supplies stored by Sheng Hetang can be used by our loyal army and the Kryu army for two years, and the weapons can be equipped with another 20,000 people, and the military workshop in Shuozhou has already begun to produce, and if it is fully produced, it can produce 20,000 rounds of guns and ammunition a day." 1,000 shells. The Taiyuan Military Workshop will gradually stop producing guns and ammunition and resume it as appropriate. Craftsmen who have mastered the core skills are assigned to the Logistics Department's Heavy Brigade to accompany the army! ”

"That's the best, I don't have to worry about everyone's food and clothing!" Zhao Zhi smiled. His worst fears were solved.

"It's not so cheap, anyone can rest, you can't be idle, after the reorganization begins, you have to quickly establish a supply station, hoard supplies, especially food, and have a surplus of food to ensure that the whole army does not starve for a year!" Zhao Ta said with a smile, he knew that the war was in chaos. The land is barren, and food will become the most surgent material and the most deadly thing.

"If we change to the Tuntian Army, where will we be stationed, and how will the prince arrange for these many people?" Zhao Yan also asked.

"And where do you think it's best to stay there?" Zhao Ta asked rhetorically.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates consider that since we are dormant and waiting, we should choose a convenient place for transportation, which can be easily mobilized and replenished!" Zhao Yan thought for a while and said.

"Hmm. Good thinking, our future enemies are well understood, and now Xijing is in our hands, after the outbreak of war. The fighting in the northwest will revolve around Datong and Taiyuan. And now that the Liao Emperor has been captured, the Western Xia will also reconsider their own situation, and it is possible that they will make small moves in our backs under the pressure and temptation of the Jurchens. So we may face a two-sided situation! Zhao Ta said with a smile, still not answering. He kicked the question back to everyone.

"Now that the Lingxia region has been in operation for two years, it is very difficult for Western Xia to regain the two places that have been recaptured. If they want to use troops against them, they can only use the Weifu Military Division of Montenegro, and they are separated by the Mu Us Desert and the Yellow River, and it is not very possible to directly use troops in the Hezhong region, and the most likely thing is to compete with us for the Liao Tiande Army and the Yunnei Prefecture region. And there is now in the hands of the Jurchens, if the Jurchens cede the two states to Western Xia, it will be very tempting as the prince said! Zhao Yan said.

"The problem is that now Zhao Yong's Krüd army has limited strength, and the territory under its control is large, they alone can't look west, and the two states fall into the hands of the Tangut people, and we will fall into passivity if we fight for it, at least morally, but if we give it to them, the Xixia will stand in the south of Yinshan, which will hinder the future development of the Krüd army, and it is best for us to take the lead and seize the two states from the Jurchens, then strategically we will be in the initiative, and the Tanguts have nothing to say, so they can only complain that the Jurchens have deceived them again!" Zhao Li said.

"Well, this is a good solution to the problem of Western Xia. There are two roads for the Jurchens to go south to Hedong, one is the road from Shuozhou to Taiyuan through Datong; Then they crossed Lingqiu from Ulzhou, which they controlled, and then attacked Hedong from Daizhou. Datong has Zhao Yong in them, it is difficult for them to pass, Daizhou has become their only choice, there is a righteous victory army to pass is not so easy, their combat effectiveness is no problem to hold on for three days, with the mobility of our loyal army can reach the place is the middle of the river road! Zhao Yan said.

"Then our best cantonment is the first line in the river!" Zhao said.

"Yes, there is a natural danger of the Yellow River on the Hezhong Road, there are many rivers, which can be attacked and defended, and the Yeli Department and the Zhengchuan Department there are friendly with us, and our army has many soldiers who have enlisted from the river, and moving there can reduce resistance and help stabilize the morale of the army. Yincheng, even the valley has a field, the exchange of materials is convenient, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, the land can be pastured and cultivated, and it is also conducive to Tuntian! Zhao Yan replied.

"Well, it's very comprehensive, then we chose to be in the river, there is an advantage you didn't expect, that is, our caravan has already purchased a lot of land over there, and has already established a fortress, so you don't have to sleep in the wilderness when you go, even if you want to move your home over, there is no problem!" Zhao Ta said with a smile.

"I'm afraid that the prince has thought of today's twists and turns, and left a way back for us!" Zhao Yi looked at everyone and shook his head and smiled.

"Alas, the prince's vision and strategy are beyond my reach, and I can't jump out of the prince's palm in my life!" Xu Biao looked at the prince with a sigh and said.

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's true that I want to take my wife and children over!" Sun Ji quipped.

"Don't you want to? Drink some wine and shout about the child, in fact, who do you want to be they don't know what to do! Xu Biao twisted his neck and said, "It's noon, the prince, it's time to start eating after drinking tea for a long time, right?" ”

"Okay, let's talk while eating!" Zhao Ta looked at this living treasure and said with a smile, because the general direction has been set, there are still many details that need to be agreed, and the time is pressing...

Three days later, the reorganization plan was completed, but the scope of Zhilu Dao was still limited to the high-level of the loyal army, and whether this plan could be implemented still needs to be played and waited for approval. At the same time as Zhao Ta's request, he applied to return to Beijing again, which was not only a routine matter, but also a temptation.

It has been ten days since the incident, but the reason for his sudden dismissal without warning has not yet been clarified, and Junzi's return is also to guess that the mastermind behind the scenes is Liang Shicheng, but the crown prince and King Jia seem to be also involved in this incident, and the emperor's attitude is not clear, Zhao Ta wants to see his father's attitude through this method.

If he let himself go back to Beijing, then this matter is led by his father, but if he doesn't let himself go back, then it will be Liang Shicheng and a group of people who are troublemakers, they don't let themselves go back or are jealous of themselves, and a prince who has no soldiers and no power left outside is the most comfortable for them, that is, they can avoid revenge against them, and there is one less opponent to compete for the storage position!

But no matter who did it, Zhao Ta was very cold, because without his father's consent, no one could dismiss him, which means that his father was already wary of him. Zhao Ta also knew that what he had done in the past two years was a bit intense, but what could he do, the war was imminent, and he just wanted his chances of winning better...

Since Zhao Ta came to this world, he has been worried about this matter, he knows that no matter whether he arrives or not, the outbreak of the Song and Jin wars is inevitable, and some people attribute the reason for the outbreak of the Song and Jin wars to Ma Zhi's advice, Tong Guan's greed, and Zhao Ji's great achievements, but from Zhao Ta's point of view, things are not so simple.

The root cause of the war also lies in the nature of the regimes on both sides. Although the centralized regime of the feudal landlord class dictatorship of the Song Dynasty was rotten and declining, it was still arrogant, conservative and greedy; The aristocratic regime of the dictatorship of the slave-owning class of Kim was extremely plundering and expansive to the outside world. The power of the two regimes is unbalanced, and conflicts between the two sides are inevitable, which will turn into war.

In addition, all the military and political power of the Song Dynasty was highly concentrated in the hands of the emperor, and although Zhao Ji advocated Taoism, indulged in amusement, and was politically corrupt, he was smart and not confused. He adhered to the last wish of his ancestors, starting from actively consolidating the Song regime, and wanted to take advantage of the decline of the Liao government to adopt Ma Zhilianjin's strategy of destroying Liao and recovering Yanyun. In fact, the Song soldiers did not play much of a role in the demise of the Liao regime.

If after recovering the Yan and Yun regions, the Song regime also anticipated a possible conflict with the Jin state, and adopted some measures and did many active defense work. He tried his best to recover the lost territories of Yan and Yun militarily and diplomatically, to defend himself from aggression by taking advantage of the danger, and to conclude an alliance with Jin to attack the attack.

However, it was inferior militarily, and both attacks on Yanjing were declared failures. Therefore, he turned to diplomatic activities, asked Jin Xu to increase the number of coins, accepted Yanjing as a substitute for the service, and repeatedly begged the Jin side to return Pingzhou and Xijing, but failed to achieve the goal of recovering Pingzhou and Xijing, and some of the plans to recover Yan and Yun fell through, and the activities of fighting for Pingzhou gave people a pretext for attacking.

This shows that the corruption of the Song rule has reached a certain level, and no matter how good the strategy is, it cannot be implemented correctly and put into practice, and Zhao Tan tried his best to make the war come later and be more prepared, but it still failed, and he could only wait and see what happened...
