On 13 October, the fleet departing from the Mingzhou Navy Base sailed into the Bohai Bay after an eight-day voyage, anchored outside Changdao to replenish fresh water, and joined up with the Dengzhou Navy Fleet waiting for the sea outside. This fleet was even larger, not only carrying 40,000 cavalry and horse equipment, but also a marine brigade and reinforced artillery brigade artillery and equipment, in addition to the 'Sea Falcon' warships suitable for shallow water navigation also joined the fleet, and there were also many supply ships accompanying it, and the entire fleet was organized into more than 600 large and small warships.

Subsequently, Zhao Lian and the wolf general Liu Biao, the leopard general Zhang Pu, the navy Tongzhi Ma Wei and the brigade commanders boarded the Shenwei ship to meet the emperor. At the same time, the fleet began to be reorganized, divided into three waves, and the forward took the naval warships as the way to open the way, and served as a guard and combat mission; The Chinese army is a landing fleet with the emperor's ship Shenwei as the core, and naval warships cruise around to escort it; The rear army is composed of a transport fleet, which is the largest and is also the logistics supply depot of the entire landing force.

"This large-scale landing operation is the first joint operation since the founding of our army, and it is also a form of combat that has never been seen in the Great Song Dynasty or even the previous dynasty, so it is a new thing for me and everyone!" Zhao Ta looked at the generals in the cabin and said with a smile, they were all trained by themselves, and now they have become the backbone of the Great Song Army, but everyone is getting bigger and bigger, there are fewer opportunities to meet, and they are much more restrained, and they seem to be less affectionate in the past, and the meeting is becoming more and more like a meeting.

"Your Majesty, we have done things that no one has done before since we formed the army, everyone is used to it, what are we afraid of!" Zhang Pu twisted his body and said with a smile.

"Be careful, how do you talk to Your Majesty?" Liu Biao stabbed Zhang Pu and said softly.

"Wasn't it always like this in the past, you can say whatever you want. Ask the question casually! Zhang Pu shook his arms and said.

"Good, good. Let Yushi catch it again, and treat you for the crime of disrespect. Don't say no one reminded you! Liu Biao glared at him and gritted his teeth and said.

"Isn't there no imperial history here, they are all their own people, unless you go to tell them!" Zhang Pu didn't care, glared back and said.

"Your Majesty, you see the two of them pinching again!" Zhao Lian said helplessly.

"I allow you to speak as you please, and forgive you for being disrespectful!" Zhao Ta took off his hat and threw it on the table, stretched and said.

"Look at Your Majesty, they all say that there is nothing wrong!" Zhang Pu reached out and dragged the dim sum plate in front of the emperor, grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth and said, "Eh." Aren't you afraid of the imperial history, how can you eat it! As he spoke, Liu Biao, who put his hand on the saucer, said.

"Don't rob it, the official family knows that everyone must be hungry, so prepare early!" Now it's not just the two of them who have robbed it, even the old man Cheng Xishou has also started it, and when it was making a lot of noise, Zhao Xin came over with two large plates of food from the inner cabin and said.

"Wait for the ministers..."Seeing Zhao Xin, several people hurriedly touched their mouths, wanting to get up and salute.

"Alright. Don't pretend to be fake, everyone is eating in a pot, and the brothers who broke through in the rain of guns and arrows together, why be polite! Zhao Xin waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Huh. Don't say that you are afraid of the impeachment of the imperial history, I am also annoyed to death by them, and I can't wait to press them to the ground and beat them! Zhao Ta wiped his hand on his clothes casually. I also grabbed a piece of snack and stuffed it into my mouth.

"Your Majesty, you bother them too. As long as you speak, you don't have to do it. We'll take him over, and let them find no one and give you a bad breath!" Jiang Wei said as he grabbed a piece in one hand.

"Well, what can you do if you beat them? Those people are all that virtue, and it is quite honorable to beat them, and they will soon become famous, and I am afraid that there will be a time when they will have to scramble to let the emperor beat them! Zhao Lian said with a sigh.

"That's still good in the past, whether we are afraid of them in the local area or in the capital, even Wang Huang was beaten by His Majesty, if he beats Li Gang now, I'm afraid that those scholars can fill the Daqing Palace!" Li Quan said as if he was very nostalgic.

"Yes, when we were in Xiangyi in the past, we and His Majesty trained every day, studied, and did business, how happy our days were, who dared to provoke the people of our palace, now it is difficult to see His Majesty's next side!" Jiang Wei said half-nostalgic and half-complaining.

"Alas, I don't want to, but now I can't help myself, I knew that Lu Dao was not the emperor, you can still walk around casually, you know how difficult it is for me to get out of the palace, how hard it is to be bored in the palace every day for three years, and I have to listen to the nagging of those courtiers every day, and I am annoyed to death!" Zhao Ta also said with a bitter face.

"Your Majesty, then this time you will fight Yanjing as if everyone will accompany you to relax!" Liu Biao looked at the official family very sympathetically and said.

"Okay, yes, but don't you have to go back after the fight?" Zhao Ta sighed.

"Okay, time is pressing, everyone is full, hurry up and get down to business!" Zhao Lian saw that the more he said, the more 'outrageous' it became, if the official family stopped doing it, wouldn't they become great sinners.

After a period of chatting and farting, everyone seemed to have returned to the past and found a long-lost feeling, which is exactly what Zhao Ta wanted, war is not a simple game, it requires the cooperation between various departments and the army. The troops who undertook the landing mission behind enemy lines this time all have deep roots, and these commanders have all lived, trained, and fought together for many years, and have learned about each other's combat styles and even living habits, and have reached a certain potential tacit understanding.

"We have two missions in this landing operation behind enemy lines in Yingzhou." The map had already been laid out on the long table, and Zhao Ta pointed and said, "First, cut off the connection between the states of Youyan and Liaodong, cut off the enemy's retreat, and block the Jin reinforcements from entering the customs; Second, seize Kyushu behind the mountains and annihilate the Jin Army's Eastern Route Army. The specific deployment will be talked about by Zhao Lian! ”

"The purpose of this operation has been clearly explained, let's talk about the battle plan!" Zhao Lian stood up and said, "As early as the beginning of the year, His Majesty began to plan this campaign, with the participation of the Privy Council, the Ministry of War and the heads of the government, and entered the first stage in May. His Majesty's tour of the southern part of Beijing and the negotiations with the Jurchens were suspicious, paralyzing the enemy and covering our army to complete the campaign deployment; In September, the second phase of the operational plan was implemented, and the border conflict was used to expand the war in the west, and the natural danger of Confucius and Shimen Pass was seized by surprise, and the Juyong Pass was approached, forcing the Yanjing Jin Army to reinforce. Later, on the grounds that the negotiations broke down, Chen Bing Yanjing Mansion Jiehe put on an offensive posture, so that the Jin army had to transfer troops from Pingzhou to reinforce Yanjing, and set up defensive lines in Yizhou, Zhuozhou, Shunzhou, and Danzhou on the periphery, to resist the enemy outside Yanjing! ”

"Oh, this way of playing can only be thought of by our master, after such a toss, the Jin army was all transferred from Pingzhou, and we quickly seized his nest after landing from Yingzhou, and then besieged Yanjing City in three ways!" Zhang Pu's eyes lit up and he said, and he couldn't help but secretly praise the emperor's tricks in his heart.

"Hmph, I only know one but I don't know the other!" Zhao Lian slapped Zhang Pu and said, "Under the feint attack of the western and northern armies, the Jin army's strength has moved south, and the rear is empty. ”

"Yanjing City?!" Everyone followed Zhao Lian's hand and looked at the map and exclaimed, it is already bold enough to use the naval army to land and fight behind enemy lines, and now they have to take on the task of capturing Yanjing, how can they not surprise everyone.

"Yes, what do you have to say?" Zhao Ta looked at everyone and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, after we land in Ziyingzhou, we want to control Yuguan to cut off the enemy's retreat and Liaodong enemy reinforcement, but also to capture Pingzhou, and then divide our troops to capture Yanjing, is the force enough?" Zhang Pu pondered for a moment and asked, in fact, this question is also what everyone wants to ask.

"I'll answer that question!" Zhao Xin came over and said, "Yuguan is located between the north of the high mountain back Niuding and the south of the Bohai Sea, south to the sea, north to the mountain, east to the Great Customs, northwest to the Qinglongdu Mountain, the shape of the victory is dangerous, the advance can be attacked, the retreat can be defended, it is the throat of the Central Plains to Liaodong, in ancient times, it was called the key to the two capitals, and it was a place where soldiers must fight. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Yuguan as an important military place to defend against the invasion of Goguryeo in eastern Liaodong, had set up camp in the pass, gathered a large number of soldiers and horses, in the early Liao Dynasty, this place was the Khitan fall, only Yuguan post was set up, which was a horse post, and was responsible for inspecting the travel, collecting the tax on transit goods, the pass had no military value, and the Jurchens still did so after occupying it, so there were only 100 people stationed here and the tax collectors, and there was intelligence a few days ago that there was no sign of increasing troops. ”

"Yuguan is as the princess said, the army is empty, and only one can be obtained at your fingertips, but then you need external reinforcements, internal resistance to the defeated position, two-front battle, and a lot of troops are needed!" Liu Biao said.

"Hehe, have you forgotten our navy?" Cheng Xishou said at this time, "After our naval army completes the transportation task, it will turn to Liaodong Bay, attack and harass the enemy's coastal state capital, and put on a posture of attacking Liaoyang and Huining. ”

"This... I won't bet on you! Zhang Pu thought about it, this tactic must be in the hands of the emperor, and the winning rate of the bet is too low, "Even if we only need to leave a small number of troops to garrison in Yuguan, then Pingzhou is an important town in Jingdong, the north controls the desert wilderness, and the east tongs are thousands of miles in Liaodong, which is the land of the throat and the key, it has been a military fortress since ancient times, and the Jurchens have changed it to Nanjing after occupying it, as its accompanying capital, even if it is transferred several times, the defensive forces will not be too small, and it may not be easy to capture two fortified cities in a row!" ”

"This problem has long been thought of by the officials, and Wushu also thought that the official family was touring the south and making peace in Xiongzhou, so he concluded that there would be no big war, so they let their army go home for the autumn harvest on vacation, and now where can so many troops be gathered in an emergency, and the defenders in Pingzhou City will not exceed three thousand!" Zhao Xinyan said, the generals were relieved, the official family even hid it from everyone, how could Wushu think that someone was calculating him... (To be continued......)
