Zhao Ta sacrificed heaven and earth in Beijing, worshiped the ancestral temple, cut the sacrifice flag, appointed the superintendent, arranged to stay behind, and went to Longde Palace to bid farewell to the empress dowager, and was able to drive out of the city, according to the custom, he drove out of the city for ten miles and camped in Qingcheng Walled. But where did Zhao Ta still live, he ordered the guard of honor to be behind, he only took the internal guards and a few Yu Marquis, and joined the army under the protection of a battalion of guards in the name of the advance team, and along the way Xiaoxing stayed overnight and rushed to Pingzhou, leaving the brigade far behind, and also caught Gao Zhong and others off guard.

"Dashuai, Your Majesty has arrived outside the mansion!" The soldiers hurriedly said.

"Ah, open the door of the mansion and follow me to meet you!" Gao Zhong was shocked and hurriedly greeted everyone.

"No, I'm in!" When everyone sorted out their clothes and hats in a panic and prepared to drive, Zhao Ta had already entered the lobby with his front feet.

"Your Majesty, you didn't tell me in advance when you came, let me wait for a mess!" Gao Zhong hurriedly greeted him, only to see that the emperor was still wearing an ordinary military uniform without a military rank, with a pistol pinned to his waist and a long knife on his shoulder, and he didn't know him and thought he was just a veteran in the army.

"Haha, I'm just going to hit you with a surprise attack and see how you react!" Zhao Ta pulled a chair and sat down with a smile.

"Your Majesty has seen it now, we were all taken aback, we haven't gone out yet, you have already entered the house, let us be caught off guard!" Zhao Lian said with a smile, he understood that he had just met this 'out of tune' emperor, otherwise he would have his head cut off for just this slow treatment.

"Well, it looks like you're discussing a battle plan, but do you have a plan?" Zhao Ta looked at the messy map on the long case and looked up and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Gao Zhong replied. "We are going to adopt the tactic of attacking in two directions, and use the infantry to break through the boundary trenches. Advance along the main road; On the other hand, the naval division carried the infantry army to choose a suitable location to land and cut off the enemy's retreat. Gather and annihilate. ”

"Oh, it's still the old routine of striking the east and the west, fighting all the way and intercepting all the way, I'm afraid the Jin army has learned it!" Zhao Tan smiled and said, "How does the Jin Army arrange its troops now, and where do you plan to land?" Without saying a word, he had already entered the state, and began to understand the current detailed battle situation, although there were war reports to Beijing every day. But after all, there is a lag, and the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly.

"Your Majesty, because there are Qingshan and Dajing River in the northwest of the Jin Army's Zuo Marshal Mansion, and Liaodong Bay in the south, it is dangerous to form a narrow strip of land less than 200 miles wide. The Jin army built a boundary trench from the coast to the northwest through Sanzhou Mountain and Wuzhi Mountain to the Dog River in Laizhou, and arranged 30,000 garrisons to guard it. After learning that our Great Song Dynasty swore to the Northern Expedition, Wan Yan Liang ordered the prison army to lead reinforcements to Laizhou to deploy defenses, with about 10,000 people, with Wan Yan Nie Er as the commander. It is still based in Jinzhou. Gao pet introduced.

"Well, in this way, there are only two roads leading to Liaodong, one is the main road near the bay and passing through Laizhou, which is connected to our Qianzhou main road; The other is from Zezhou to Yuzhou, entering Jinguo, leading to Xingzhongfu, along the Dajing River to the north. As long as the enemy forces hold these two main roads, they can prevent us from moving north by land, and the defensive posture is much better than that of his right marshal's mansion. Zhao Ta looked at the map and said.

"That's exactly what happened, so we planned to make a feint by land. Sending water divisions to land behind enemy lines with horse infantry troops can cut off the enemy's retreat. Blocking the enemy reinforcements in Liaoyang; Second, it can be realized to gather and annihilate the enemy of the enemy's left marshal's mansion and complete the predetermined combat objectives. But now there is still a dispute over whether to land in Xizhou or Jinzhou. can't decide......" Then Gao Zhong told him and Zhao Lian's views in detail.

"Your Majesty, now that you're here, we don't have to argue anymore, please decide!" Zhao Lian said with a smile.

"If I decide......" Zhao Tan raised his eyes to look at the people waiting for him to make a decision, "In the current situation, I think it is most appropriate to fight Liaoyang Mansion, what do you think?" ”

"Hit Liaoyang Mansion?!" Everyone's jaws were about to be shocked, the emperor deserved to be the emperor, and his courage was fatter than the people here combined, and he could encircle all the more than 100,000 troops of the two mansions of the Jin Army in this moment.

"That's right, just hit Liaoyang Mansion. You see, Liaoyang Prefecture is located in the throat of eastern Liaodong, with convenient water and land transportation, and we relied on the border in the early stage of the war to facilitate logistics and supply, but entering the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom will have to be transported thousands of miles, and it will become more and more difficult with the extension of the battle line. Once we occupy Liaoyang Prefecture, we will be able to transport supplies by water, ensure the supply of various ministries, greatly reduce the logistical pressure, and reduce the number of people who are requisitioned. Zhao Ta said that he was not only interested in the military status of Liaoyang Mansion, but also the importance of geographical location.

"Indeed, the Liao River enters the sea through Liaoyang Mansion, and the sailor can go up the river to Xinzhou, which is only three hundred miles away from Huining Mansion. And we are not only convenient for the transfer of materials hoarded in Pingzhou and Yanjing, but also can directly transfer grain from the southeast into Liaodong. Zhao Zhi agreed with the emperor's proposal, and once this proposal was implemented, it would make him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Well, Your Majesty is wise, the Jin army would not have thought that we would use sailors to help in the war, thinking that we would give priority to landing in the jurisdiction of its Zuo Shuaifu, and never imagined that we would skip them and take Liaoyang Mansion directly, which would have a surprising effect. The capture of Liaoyang Mansion will cut off the retreat of the enemy's Zuo Marshal Mansion, and the loss of reinforcements will inevitably cause them to panic, and when the soldiers have no will to fight, we can drive in. Gao Zhong pondered for a moment, and had to admire the boldness of the emperor's imagination and the accuracy of his positioning, and he grabbed the enemy's death hole at once.

"Your Majesty, but at this time, spring has just begun, the rainy season has not yet arrived, the river is not abundant, and the warship is difficult to navigate!" Zhao Lian, as the emperor's chief staff, had to tell the truth and pour some cold water on everyone.

"Whether it can be navigated or not, I still have to ask those who have witnessed it!" Zhao Ta didn't blame Zhao Lian for singing the opposite, and beckoned to Wang Heng, who was standing behind, "Wang Heng, you attacked Liaoyang Mansion back then, you know a lot about the situation there, and you speak the most authoritatively. ”

"Your Majesty, the subordinates entered Liaoyang Mansion in the winter, and in March, the Liaohe River had been civilized and feasible boats, and the Dengzhou Navy Division once wanted to use the guò waterway to help, but finally failed because the Jin army scuttled and sank the big ship to block the entrance to the sea, but it can be seen that at least the 'Yang-class' battleships can be navigated. Later, we reached an agreement with Jin Guo to enter the sea from the Liao River in May, and all the ships we took were Wanhu big ships, so it can be seen that there is no problem with the 'Yong-class' warships. Wang Heng replied after thinking about it that he was deeply impressed by the incident when he led the tiger general to stay in Liaoyang.

"Your Majesty, the spies of the Military Intelligence Department have gone deep into Liaoyang Mansion to reconnoitre, just because our warships have entered Liaoyang, so they have set up a naval army in Liaoyang, and there are iron cables to stop the river, equipped with large ships, once it is found that our naval army is trying to enter, it will sink large ships to block Haikou, so the subordinates think that it is not the best policy to attack Liaoyang first." Zhao Lian still poured cold water unrelentingly.

"Then you have to consult Ma Wei for this, your sailor has the ability to remove these obstacles!" Zhao Ta asked Ma Wei on the side again.

"Your Majesty, no problem!" Ma Wei stepped forward and said, "We can use naval guns to blow up the barrage cable, and as for the shipwreck, the water ghost will dive into the water and blow the wreck into pieces to clear a channel." And the naval army of the Jin Kingdom has been completely annihilated by our naval division in the battle of Goryeo, and they have not been able to recover over the years, and they only have some Qianhu boats that dare not enter the sea at all, and can only wander in the inland river, so there is no need to worry! ”

"What questions do you have?" After Ma Wei finished speaking, Zhao Ta looked at everyone and asked, but no one said anything more, "In this case, you can consider my construction, as for how to fight it is your business, I rushed here along the way, and you adults should also take care of a hot meal!" ”

"The subordinates should die, please wait for your majesty, and the subordinates will immediately order someone to arrange it!" Gao Zhong woke up suddenly, he was really negligent, and his majesty discussed the war with the generals for a long time without a cup of tea, and he confessed again and again.

"Okay, we have all been dining with Your Majesty for many years, so Gao Shuai will prepare more wine and food, and we can also wash the dust for Your Majesty!" When everyone saw this, they all coaxed to have dinner with His Majesty.

"This ......" Gao Zhong looked at the emperor with some embarrassment and asked for his opinion.

"What are you waiting for, hurry up and fight the table!" Zhao Ta smiled and waved his hand, which reminded him of the scene when everyone started a business together, and now why not create a great cause...... (To be continued......)
