There is no secret about the movement of the army, and the large-scale mobilization of troops by the Song army in Fengshengzhou and Hebei has long been reported by the Jin army spies to the Jin army commander in Nanjing, but he did not transfer the army to war, but only ordered the border garrison to strengthen the vigilance, send additional reconnaissance cavalry, and monitor the activities of the Song army.

It is said that there will be a big incident in the other direction of the border reinforcement, but the Wushu treatment in this way makes people feel rash. But if the Song army had been nervous about this time for several years, even the most cautious commander would feel that the other party was just routinely guarding against his own attack and harassment, and would not take this 'little thing' to heart. What's more, the two sides are still conducting peace talks, and the emperor of the Southern Dynasty is still patrolling the south of the Yangtze River, if he wants to start a big war, even if he does not lead the troops to recruit in person, he will sit in the center of the capital and dispatch.

And if at the beginning of the Song army's mobilization, Wushu was still a little vigilant, but now he has relaxed. At the beginning of the negotiations between the two sides, the Southern Dynasties blindly retreated, which can be said to be completely passive, although Qin Hui had the merit, but it was only a deputy envoy, and it was impossible to completely make the master. It is not Zhao Er's style to retreat one after another, which makes Wushu full of suspicions, worried that it is suspicious, so that he can relax his vigilance, and he secretly makes a black hand.

However, after entering August, the Southern Dynasties suddenly became tougher, not only rejecting the old proposal of the Jin State to cede land and claim vassals, but also overturning the previous initial agreement on paying tribute and exchanging hostages, and put on a picture of a 'scoundrel' posture that likes to talk about not talking and not talking about pulling down. Qin Hui quickly sent back the news, it turned out that the previous negotiations were just Ma Kuo wanted to see all the hole cards of the Jinguo negotiations, and planned to overturn and start over.

Wushu didn't care that Qin Hui was extremely frustrated, but he was happy in his heart. This way of negotiation is Zhao Er's style, and it is exactly the result he wants. Peace has really been achieved between the two sides. Why do you want him to be a marshal, will he still get so much power? Only war can maximize his interests. Let him have great power, sit firmly on the throne of the marshal of the east and west, and get the qualification to bargain with the imperial court.

Now that the Jin State has taken Fengshengzhou and Datong under the squeeze of Zhao Ta on both sides, the West Road is actually in name only, while Yanjing on the East Road has become the forefront and the pressure is the greatest. Once Yanjing is lost, you can enter Liaodong after passing the Yuguan, where it is a large plain. When you go to Beijing, you have to face the attack of the Song army. Now Wu Qimai has set up a prince against his will under the pressure of the big man, and took the opportunity of the restructuring to transfer Sticky Han back to the capital to serve as a high-ranking civil title, so as to remove his actual military command, and use Wanyan Zonggan and Wanyan Zongben to contain the left and right, but let the Wushu East Road Marshal Mansion get the greatest benefit...

Based on the above-mentioned circumstances, Wushu and his staff determined that the Southern Dynasty was bluffing again, routinely making trouble, and had no intention of starting a major war. So it was decided to let some of the recruited soldiers and clan troops go home to 'busy autumn'. After the autumn harvest, we will do the point set. It's right to think about it, you are busy and we are busy, how good it is that the two do not disturb each other! But there was an accident, but the place where the accident happened was not Yanjing but the west.

After Fengsheng Prefecture was occupied by the Song army, most of it was occupied. The two sides are temporarily bounded by the Sanggan River, and each bureau is facing each other across the river. The water and grass by the river are abundant, and it is naturally a good place for grazing. But the beasts have no concept of borders, which side of the grass is better and which side it goes on. As a result, disputes often arise between the two sides, leading to small-scale armed conflicts. But most of them are limited to the private sector.

One day in September, the horses of the Song Dynasty ran to the Jin country, and the herdsmen found out and went to ask for it, but how could the Jin country be willing to send back the things in hand, of course, they didn't admit it, and they had to fight if they didn't make sense. There were few people on the Song Dynasty's side, and as a result of the away battle, five people went to the end, only one ran back, and the rest were killed by the Jin people.

The Song Dynasty was naturally dissatisfied, and took revenge, so they summoned a few sharpshooters to ambush by the river, and suddenly shot them with arrows when the Jin people were grazing. But the Jin people quit again, and gathered more than 100 troops to cross the river to retaliate, and just ran into a small group of Song troops patrolling the border, and the red-eyed Jin people stewed them with a spoonful.

When the border people fight, it is a border friction, and if the border army is killed, it is a border conflict. The Song army reacted quickly, and immediately mobilized troops to intercept this group of terrorists who crossed the border to the side of the river and captured them all. The Jin army was not all blind, and immediately sent troops to rescue after seeing it, and the battle escalated, and the dispute between the border people soon evolved into a battle between the armies, and the Song army was ordered to resolutely counterattack the invading enemy, and the Yunzhong Road Xuanfu made Yelu Yu also quickly reach the front line.

The Song army in the autumn immediately assembled and drove towards Fengshengzhou, and the Jin army was not to be outdone and hurriedly mobilized troops, but they did not expect that the Song army 'overreacted' this time, not only the local border army was dispatched, but even the lion wing army stationed in Datong also participated in the battle. The dominant Song army crossed the Sanggan River with great vigor, occupied Ruzhou, captured Shimen Pass, and approached the city of Juyongguan. The Song army, which had taken advantage of it, did not mean to stop, but continued to mobilize troops to prepare for the pass. If Juyong Pass is lost, the west gate of Yanjing will be opened, and the guards will be shocked, and while defending with all their might, they will report the situation to the Wushu in Nanjing and ask for reinforcements.

Wushu was also taken aback, could it be that the Southern Dynasty really used the cover of peace talks to do it, but the urgency of the matter could not allow him to think too much, he urgently ordered the deputy marshal Yanjing to stay behind and send reinforcements to Yan Zongfu nearby, and he led his own army and Wuyan Puluhun and Wanyan Yulie 20,000 troops from Pingzhou to aid Juyong Pass, recapture Shimen Pass, and reconsolidate the western defense line. At the same time, Wushu ordered Yinshuke, who was negotiating peace with the Southern Dynasties, to protest to the Great Song Dynasty, demanding that they withdraw their troops and return the occupied Confucian Prefecture and Shimen Pass.

After receiving the order, Yinshuke was just about to submit a protest to the Song Dynasty, but he didn't expect the Song Dynasty to arrive first, and his words were even harsher than them, not only asking them to hand over the Jin generals who provoked border provocations and killing and wounding the border army, but also to compensate for all the losses caused by this. Moreover, this is the most important ultimatum, and the peace talks will be terminated from now on, and if they do not agree, they will bear the consequences.

This ultimatum almost betrayed the luck of the silver technique, and for so many years, only their Dajin Kingdom has issued the most embarrassing ultimatum to others, and no country has ever sent it to them, of course, it is a verbal refusal. But he soon found out that the Great Song Dynasty was not joking this time, the Song army quickly mobilized tens of thousands of troops on the south bank of the Jiehe River, with a company camp of dozens of miles, and the reconnaissance and cavalry activities were frequent, and there were constantly people surveying the hydrology in the Jiehe River, and many times carried out multi-arms river crossing exercises, and even invaded the other side of the Jiehe River.

When the unfortunate news of the Song military war in Yanjing reached the ears of Wushu, this made him a little panicked, nearly half of the soldiers went home on vacation, and the army of Yanjing Mansion had already transferred him to support Juyong Pass, how could he deal with the two-sided attack of the Song army with a lack of troops and major generals? He ordered to quickly gather troops to prepare for battle, but where to gather in a short period of time, he could only order the garrison of Nanjing and Pingzhou to go to Yanjing Mansion...

…………

Everything is ready only to owe the east wind, this sentence is now used on Zhao Ta, seeing that September is coming to an end, October is coming, and the day when the scheduled battle is in full swing is getting closer and closer. The reason why he set the starting date in October was also carefully considered, one was that the autumn harvest had been completed and the taxes had been deposited, which could not only provide sufficient funds for the war, but also because it was the agricultural slack season, which was conducive to providing manpower, and the other was that after entering the winter, the temperature dropped and the rivers froze, which was convenient for the cavalry to maneuver and reduce the occurrence of epidemics.

But there is also a contradiction, and that is the trade wind season. The Chinese monsoon is characterized by the existence of two main monsoon circulations, namely the northeast monsoon in winter and the southwest monsoon in summer. In the seas of southeastern Asia, northeasterly trade winds blow in winter and spring, and southwesterly trade winds in summer and autumn.

During the summer months between May and October, the climate in eastern Asia is warm, and the wind blows from the equator to the east, which is called the southwest monsoon. Merchant ships from West Asia and East Africa can take advantage of the wind to sail to China. From November to March, the climate in northeast Asia is cold, and the wind blows from the coast of China to the equator, which is called the northeast monsoon. Merchant ships could also take advantage of the wind to sail from various ports through the Strait of Malacca to the coast of the Indian Ocean.

Generally speaking, this monsoon had a great influence on the navigation of ancient sailing ships, and the movement had to be restricted by the direction of the wind. April, May and October are the transition periods between summer and winter monsoons. However, the seasonal differences vary from region to region, so the division of the monsoon is not completely consistent, and their transition has an explosive abrupt process, with a short transition period in between.

This requires Zhao Ta to seize the short opportunity, maybe just a few days, but to complete the entire landing force and material delivery task, and once the cold air goes south, the temperature drops, and the water surface freezes, but the wooden boat has no ice-breaking ability, so the time is extremely urgent. As the two troops of the feint attack unfolded according to the plan, Zhao Ta became even more anxious, he couldn't stay in Hangzhou for a day, so he left all the honor guards in Hangzhou, claiming that the emperor occasionally felt cold and was unwell and not suitable to meet guests. And the people have quietly gone to the Mingzhou Navy Base.

Zhao Tan came to Mingzhou in a hurry, at this time Cheng Xishou had been prepared for battle according to the order, two marine brigades gathered here, all the supplies had been on the ship, just waiting for the right trade wind to arrive and sail north. But his arrival did not move God, and the wind bucket was still half-dead and swaying on the head of the club.

Zhao Ta was anxious, but he couldn't show a trace of anxiety on his face and words, but he wanted to make a confident appearance, as if he would be a northeast wind as long as he waved his hand lightly, because he knew that the strength and weakness of the ancient wars of the Dao Dao, compared with the technical conditions, often depended more on the courage and strategy of the soldiers and the level of morale.
