Since it was no longer possible to keep the secret, Fusan Zhongyi decided to strike first, and personally ordered an army of 30,000 to attack Yuerluo, but when they arrived, they were empty, and the Tatars had already moved westward out of the scope of the Jin Kingdom. According to the agreement between the Song and Jin countries, no one was allowed to enter the grassland without authorization, and this buffer zone between the two countries was retained.

At that time, the Mughal tribe dominated the grassland, and the Jurchens only supported the Tatars to fight against them, and did not dare to directly send troops to clear them so as not to cause the intervention of the Great Song Dynasty. And the Great Song Dynasty also abided by the agreement, the Mughal people were beaten to death by the Jin State and the Tatars, and they only transferred the Mughal tribe to their own territory to recuperate and regain their vitality, and did not send a single soldier into the grassland, suffering a dumb loss.

Now that the Tatars know that the Jin State is determined to annihilate it, they will definitely not abide by the agreement between them again, and the alliance for many years has completely broken up, which is equivalent to opening a gate on the western defense line of the Jin State, but the watchdog is gone. He believed that with the personality of Zhao Er, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, he would never give up this opportunity, and he would definitely send someone to collude with the Tatars.

Because although the vitality of the Mughal people has recovered somewhat, after all, their strength has been greatly damaged, and they cannot recover to become their pawns in the short term. But the Tatars are different, their strength is at its peak, and they can be used if they are pulled over, and more importantly, the Great Song Dynasty is not short of money, which can satisfy its growing appetite, and can contain the Tatars with the Mughuls in their hands, and they can change horses at any time. I am not afraid that he will be disobedient.

According to the arrangement of the Taishi Wushu, after the annihilation of the Tatars, he will support another force of his own on the grassland to maintain a dominant position on the grassland. And the servant thought that this was a task that could not be accomplished at all. On the grassland, it is clear that there are only two forces left, the Tatar tribe and the Mughal tribe, and the other forces are too weak. There was no way to hold up the wall, especially when the Mughal tribe was expelled and the Tatars were the dominant family.

The Mughurs could be an alternative target, and the Jin State had already suffered enough from the Tatars, in contrast, it had just recovered its strength, but it was much easier to control than the Tatars, and theoretically it was possible to use the blood feud between them and the Tatars to win them over. But in fact, the Mengwu people were almost wiped out by the Jin State twice, and now they are holding the thick legs of the Great Song Dynasty. And make this possibility very small......

The fears of the servants soon became a reality, and according to the spies, the Song Dynasty had sent envoys into the steppe to make contact with the Tatars. The result was no different from what he expected, the Tatars were quickly defeated by the Song Dynasty's 'silver bullet' offensive, and the Tatar Khan personally met with the Song envoys, and the two sides talked in secret for two days. Although the specific situation is not known, judging from the fact that Wu Wuzhen sent his own guards to escort the Song envoy out of the grassland, the two sides should have reached a preliminary agreement.

The matter has come to this point, and the servant Zhongyi regrets the original 'recklessness', which is really a typical example of picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons. The fox didn't fight and made a fuss. They really shouldn't have turned their faces with the Tatars for a little profit when the Song Dynasty army was pressing, and brought themselves such a big trouble!

Although Taishi had earlier made a prediction that the Great Song Dynasty would not go to war with the Jin State, he could use this time to annihilate the Tatars and complete the plan to re-establish the puppets. But now the shape shì has completely reversed. Not only were the Tatars not annihilated, but they were thrown into the arms of the Great Song Dynasty. If the two families succeed in making peace, it will be considered purely from a military point of view. This is definitely a good time to start a war, and Zhao Er has not suffered a single defeat since he was born. If you can imagine it, you can definitely think of it.

Based on the present shape shì. He thought that he should take advantage of the fact that the alliance between the Great Song and the Tatars had not been reached, and launch an attack on the Tatars across the border, and immediately retreat to the territory after annihilating them. At that time, the Great Song Dynasty was helpless in the face of a fait accompli, so he could only protest and had no reason to send troops. Although doing so may take the risk of the Great Song Dynasty reimposing economic sanctions on Jin, it can eliminate the hidden dangers on the border.

Of course, this was not without risks, no Tatars guarded the grasslands for the Jin State, and the Muguls submitted to the Great Song, and the Great Song was likely to take advantage of this opportunity to seize control of the grasslands, thus triggering a new conflict. Kosan Tadashi believed that even if they did not risk attacking the Tatars, there was still such a risk after they formed an alliance. Since he had to face the dual threat of the Song Dynasty and the Tatars, it was better to strike first to cut off one of his arms and reduce the pressure on the western border of the Jin State. Based on the above considerations, he submitted his message to the imperial court, hoping to approve his battle plan to cross the border to annihilate the Tatars......

…………

The Spring Festival is approaching, but there is a tense atmosphere in the Gen Garden, the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry formed a joint command to be stationed in Layue, the commander-in-chief is naturally Emperor Zhao Tan, and the deputy commander-in-chief is Li Gang, Zhao Ren and Zhao Yong; The chief of staff is Zhao Lian, who is also the head of the War Department, and the members are the commanders of the Privy Council; The Minister of Logistics is naturally Zhao Zhi's, and he needs to be equipped with a deputy handicraft squire Zheng Qiao; The liaison department is headed by Zhang Li Tianhao of the Transportation Bureau of the Intelligence Bureau; The Ministry of Intelligence integrates the two major intelligence departments, the Intelligence Agency and the Military Intelligence Department, and is headed by Li Jun.

"Your Majesty, the Military Intelligence Department has sent an urgent report from the northwest, the first step of the plan to lure the enemy has been completed, and the right commander of the Jin Army, Sanzhongyi, has been approved by Huining, and wants to send troops into the grassland to encircle and annihilate the Tatars." As soon as the emperor sat down, before he could take a sip of water, Zhao Lian came in and reported.

"Well, where are the dragon generals and lion generals?" Zhao Ta nodded to indicate that he knew, rubbed his face with his hand and asked again. These days, I have to deal with a series of ceremonies before the festival, often show up so as not to arouse the suspicion of the Jin country, and worry about the Northern Expedition, so I feel very tired.

"Your Majesty, the two armies have arrived in Datong and are receiving supplies, waiting for the next order!" Zhao Lian replied immediately.

"Let them not go forward any further, wait until after the Spring Festival, and arrive in Ningzhou at the end of January to accept Zhao Li's command." Zhao Ta looked at the map and said.

"Your Majesty, now that the war on the grassland is imminent, the reinforcements are resting in the Datong area, and the Northwest Deployment Division has to deal with things on the grassland, and it is a little insufficient to open up the passage from Taizhou to Huining!" Zhao Lian frowned and said.

"Now that the shape has changed, we also have to make corresponding adjustments, the Tatars have no less than 40,000 soldiers to fight, and it is impossible for the servants to eat them in one bite, and our reinforcements are arranged in the same line to give him the illusion that he is just strained, and it will invisibly put pressure on him. Make it even more urgent to get rid of the Tatars before our reinforcements arrive, and we're going to grab him by the pigtails! Zhao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, then the Tatars we gave up? That's a force that can be harnessed! Zhao Lian understood what the emperor meant, the Song army wanted to watch the white opera and sit back and watch the Tatars be annihilated by the Jin State.

"The Tatars are mercenary, it is of no use to us, keeping them is a matter of raising tigers, we should accept the previous lesson, it is better to hand it over to the Muguls and let them disappear!" Zhao Ta took the tea handed over by Jianxi, took a sip, and said leisurely.

"Yes, my subordinates understand. The day the reinforcements arrived, it was time for us to go to war, and the two armies drove from the steppe to Hoeryong! Zhao Lian nodded.

"You misunderstood what I meant, the primary purpose of our first battle was not to plunder resources and land, but to annihilate the living forces of the Jin army and gather them on the periphery. Zhao Tan patted Zhao Lian's shoulder and said,

"Oh, His Majesty wants to first attack Taizhou to attract the army of the right mansion of the Jin army to the boundary trench defense line, and then suddenly use the dragon and the lion generals to suddenly cross the grassland to make the illusion of attacking Huining, so that Huining does not dare to send reinforcements, but the two generals suddenly turn right to cut off the retreat of the Jin Youfu army, and then use the two armies to gather them in the area west of Changchun Prefecture, and then march to Huining." Zhao Lian looked at the map and immediately figured out the emperor's plan.

"The children can be taught! We fought around the border in the early stage, when the remnant of winter was over, which was conducive to the mobility of cavalry and artillery, and convenient for getting supplies, and when the spring was over in the early stage of the battle, we had a large area of pasture to graze, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone, and realize your original idea! Zhao Ta looked at Zhao Lian and said.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates really admire, why didn't we think of such an arrangement in the first place!" Zhao Lian blushed and said, he also participated in the formulation of the initial battle plan, everyone wanted to take advantage of their own advantages, but it turned out to be a mess, which was used, but it was like chicken ribs. And the emperor just readjusted the order, and gave full play to the advantages of each department, and the time and place were also on his side.

"War is like a chaotic chess game, no matter how good you calculate, you will never know where your opponent will put the next chess piece, especially the stinky chess basket. Therefore, you also have to adjust the battle plan from time to time, but the ultimate goal cannot be changed, that is, you must defeat the other party! Zhao Ta said to his love.

"The subordinates have been taught, what we have to do now is to stir up the contradictions between the Tatars and the Jurchens, use their conflicts to create a shape in our favor, and find fighters in them to achieve our combat goals!" Zhao Lian said.

"Yes, now is not the time to do it, but to continue to tease the Jurchens who are already red-eyed, and you can't swallow all the meat in one bite, otherwise the play will not be able to continue!" Zhao Ta drank the warm swallow water in the cup in one gulp...... (To be continued......)
