"Offense is the best defense! The reason why our dynasty has declined is that our dynasty has lost its offensive spirit, which always focuses on defending the city and defending everywhere, and it will only be lost everywhere! Zhao Pu said.

"Your Majesty, no!" Zhang Suo immediately dissuaded, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten Yao Pingzhong's defeat?" ”

"How can you forget? At that time, Yao Pingzhong was rushing outside to kill, while I was listening to the shouts of killing in Jinying! Zhao Pu said with a smile: "If you talk about the world, who knows Jin Jun best, it is none other than me." I was a hostage, and I was almost thrown into a pan of oil and cooked; The battle of Hedong is even more life-and-death! ”

Zhang Suo was silent, vaguely remembering the experience of this majesty.

Zhao Pu continued: "Yao Pingzhong, that's not called a military attack, but a military adventure, without knowing the strength of the enemy, rashly attacking, I won't make a mistake like him!" ”

Zhang Suo said in his heart, isn't this the same?

"General Zhang, do you know why you are the prime minister of Gyeonggi military and political affairs?" Zhao Pudao.

Zhang Suo was at a loss in his heart, so he had to say: "I don't know! “

Zhao Pudao: "Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain; Those who do not seek everything are not enough to seek a lifetime. Now the Jin army is going south in three ways, while you and our army are defending in three ways, Zong Ze guards Shaanxi, you guard Henan, and Li Gang guards Shandong. It is a chess game for thousands of miles, and millions of soldiers will be chess pieces. In a short period of time, our army did not have the ability to go on the Northern Expedition, and even the ability to hold Henan, Shandong and other places was insufficient. But we have to fight, because we are weak, and only by fighting can we have the ability to survive! ”

Zhang Suo already understood in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, I plan to promote peace with war!" ”

"We don't have time to recuperate, but the enemy won't give us time, so we can only fight and recuperate at the same time! In the next three to five years, we must be mentally prepared for a large number of land losses, maybe Henan will be lost, Shandong will be lost, Jianghuai will be lost, and even Jinghu will be lost, it doesn't matter if you lose land, the emphasis is on exchanging space for time, space for the dispersion of the Jin army, space for the Jin army's casualties, and space for offsetting the Jin army! ”

"Don't care how many cities you lose or how much land you lose, but how many gold troops you have destroyed. If the Jin army is willing to die 10,000 people, I am willing to give Bianliang to the Jin army; If the Jin army is willing to die 100,000, I am willing to give up the land north of the Huai River to the Jin army; If the Jin army is willing to die 200,000, I am willing to give up the north of the Yangtze River to the Jin army! ”

Zhao Pu said: "There is a kind of victory called retreat, and there is a kind of defeat called occupation!" Once the battle loses 200,000, will the Jin army still be able to suppress the Khitan resistance forces in the territory? Will it be possible to hold a large number of occupied territories? Once the Jin army lost 200,000 in battle, the Jin army was not far from extinction. Save people and lose land, people and land are lost; If you lose your land, you will lose your land! ”

"Don't look at Jin Jun's arrogance now, he will soon taste the bitter fruit!"

Zhang Suo's heart suddenly felt that this majesty's thoughts were really strange.

"Attack, it doesn't have to be an army of more than 100,000, a large corps attack, it can be small-scale, ants gnawing elephants, and cannibalizing step by step!" Zhao Pudao. "There is a method of warfare called sparrow warfare, which can be more than a dozen people, can be a hundred, mainly local people, come and go, gather and disperse, like a sparrow pecking food, one shot in the east and one shot in the west, take the enemy by surprise, take advantage of the gap to enter, twist the enemy, and fight fiercely. When the enemy counterattacked, they immediately withdrew, hiding without a trace. When the enemy retreated, they roared, gunfire rang out, and the sound of killing was everywhere. The enemy can't fight and fight, chase and can't catch up, fall into a situation where he can't eat well, can't sleep well, is restless, and is embarrassed. ”

"There is a kind of tactic, called movement warfare, constantly running away, leading the enemy to pursue, in the process of the enemy's pursuit, so that the enemy has flaws, and then destroy the enemy!"

"There is a method of warfare called guerrilla warfare......

"There is a method of warfare called harassment warfare......"

"There is a method of warfare called tunnel warfare ........."

At this moment, Zhao Pu vigorously propagandized Mao Weiren's combat thoughts.

Zhang Suo listened carefully, his expression was a little ugly, and he said, "Isn't this a rogue thought?" It seems that this is how the rogues fight! "I secretly said in my heart: We are a dignified Song army, a dignified king, and we want to fight like a rogue, which seems to be a bit too much and not very decent.

As if he had guessed Zhang Suo's thoughts, Zhao Pu smiled and said: "I have two cats in my family, one has always been a white cat, one is a black cat, which cat is a good cat?" ”

Zhang Suo was silent, and asked about a cat, but why not a human, "This subordinate doesn't know!" ”

"Still don't know!" Zhao Pu also smiled, "I don't know which cat is good!" But I know that whether it's a white cat or a black cat, catching a mouse is a good cat. Beautiful but not practical, practical but not beautiful. That cat catches a lot of mice, it is a good cat, and it will not be despised because of its bad appearance! ”

Zhang was silent again.

"Everyone in the world underestimates the rogue, but as an emperor, you can't help but underestimate the rogue!" Zhao Pu smiled, "Qiang Qin died in the era of Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Wang Mang, and there were red eyebrows and green forests, while there was the Wagang Rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and there was the Huangchao Rebellion at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Isn't it just to guard against the mob? Don't underestimate the rogue! ”

"The key to this battle is not in Bianliang, but in Hedong, Hebei and other places!"

Zhao Pu kept the location on the map, and drew a circle with his finger and said: "There are too many rebels here, which are the henchmen of the Jin army, but it is a pity that the rebels lack effective training, and secondly, the lack of supplies makes it difficult for the army; Third, they are fighting separately and lack cooperation; Fourth, military discipline is lax and discipline is unclear. If we can do a good job in the four points, have a righteous army, and contain it in the rear, we will be much easier! ”

………………

In Hedong, Hebei and other places, the rebel army continued, the small ones were only a dozen people, and the many were tens of thousands. One after another, continuously, a large number of people were active in the rear of the Jin army, containing the Jin army, so that the rear of the Jin army could not be consolidated, and these righteous army books are patriotic and righteous people at best, and bandits are at worst.

Their combat effectiveness is very poor, their discipline is also very bad, and they are constantly burning, killing and looting, just like the heroes in the Water Margin. In fact, this is not to blame them, the military discipline of the Great Song Forbidden Army, which is the central army, is not good, and the Western Army, which is the strongest division of the Great Song Dynasty, is not well disciplined. The world is as black as a crow, and you can't blame them too much.

At the moment, these rebel armies are in a state of disorganization, lack of military discipline, and scattered operations, and have no stable base areas and better logistical supplies. If there are no accidents, they will be broken by the Jin army and go to destruction.

It's a shame to die like this!

Even if you want to be cannon fodder, you have to be valuable cannon fodder.

Therefore, it is extremely important for the rebel army in Hebei, Hedong and other places, and the difficulty of Zhao'an is not great. If you want to be an official, you will be recruited to kill people and set fires.

In this era, Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang were the only ones who were born with mud legs and finally became emperors, and it was very difficult to find a third person. Being a bandit or a homeless person has no future, and many people in the Great Song Dynasty chose Zhao'an. Song Jiang is not an isolated case, but a common case.

Among the hundred bandits, seventy wanted to be Song Jiang. And the rest of them are not because they don't want to be Song Jiang, but because they have no way.

Zhao'an is easy, but how to regularize and discipline the bandits is very difficult. However, Zhao Pu doesn't need to worry about these, he just puts forward opinions, how to operate the specific plan, and naturally there are special people in charge.

Zhang Suo listened, and was secretly surprised in his heart, in the previous assumption, there were also rebel armies in Hedong, Hebei and other places to Zhao'an and contain the Jin army. But that's just a superficial idea, not systematic, and there is no such detail,

"Your Majesty, Weichen knows!" Zhang said.

…………

Zhao Pu came to the front line, in the name of rewarding the three armies, but in fact he came to inspect the border defense and inspect the combat effectiveness of the army.

The next day, wine, food, gold and silver, etc., began to be distributed among the army, which was regarded as a reward. In the midst of the reward, the members of the Third Military Division also began to actively carry out activities, and the Military Propaganda Department went around to publicize the anti-Jin proposition, tell about the bad deeds of the Jin Army, the crimes of the Jin Army, and promote revanchism; The Department of Military Justice is to check whether there is any deduction of food and salary in the army, and make up for the deficiency in time, and those officials who are greedy for ink will deal with it later; The Military Intelligence Department is to investigate the situation of the Bianliang defenders everywhere and collect all aspects of information about middle and high-level generals.

Everything is busy.

At this time, on a dark night, without a trace of starlight or moonlight, a group of Jin Jun swam across the river and settled a beacon tower. Then the pontoon bridge began to be built, and the Jin army iron cavalry began to cross the river............
