Chapter 118: Strategic Background (1)
What he is most optimistic about Zhao Shuo is that he is tenacious and unshining.
The more critical the survival, the more Chen Xinghan will not disappoint.
This is a rare and valuable characteristic in the eyes of successive kings.
Especially in the Song and Song dynasties, it was even more fragrant and sweet that money could not buy.
After all, Zhao Shuo knew very well that in the late Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, there were many cheating figures in the court of the Song Dynasty.
And they're all big shots.
They usually show off their might, looking like dogs.
But when it really came to the critical moment, as the main general, he abandoned the soldiers under his command in minutes.
Then he started to be a running general.
Such a person, Zhao Shuo would not dare to reuse it if he was killed, and he would not reuse it.
At least in Zhao Shuo's opinion, whether it is Li Gang or Chen Xinghan, the two of them will not fall into such a field, and they are not like that.
Chen Xinghan walked into the Wende Hall and bowed down: "The last general has seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty." ”
"Chen Aiqing, excuse me." Zhao Shuo said lightly.
"Your Majesty is coming, what is the matter?"
"I have heard from the officials that you are well versed in military affairs, so I would like to hear your opinion on the current situation."
Chen Xinghan exclaimed: "Your Majesty, Xia Guan is just a small master of joining the army, how can He De talk about military aircraft affairs." ”
"Eh, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, why can't you talk about it? Say, I'm going to hear what you have to say. ”
"I won't blame you anyway."
"Then the lower official will get an axe." Chen Xinghan knew that His Majesty the Emperor was the real strategist with a unique vision.
Let's talk about the Bianliang Guard Battle a few days ago.
In his judgment, no matter who else he is, he cannot reverse this situation.
But Zhao Shuo did it.
Now, although Chen Xinghan has his own military strategy, he also feels that he is especially inferior to His Majesty.
But he still patiently took out an atlas from inside his robe.
As Chen Xinghan spread out the album, Zhao Shuo was surprised: "Chen Aiqing, it turns out that you have been prepared. ”
"Your Majesty, this treasure map drawn by the lower official has always been carried with me."
"Good, good." Zhao Shuo bowed slightly, staring at Chen Xinghan with burning eyes.
This young master bookkeeper, who is only thirty years old and is in his prime, has become the target of Zhao Shuo's heart to be promoted.
Imagine a military researcher who goes out with a map all day.
How bad can his military observation eye be?
Chen Xinghan presented the map and placed it on the ground.
Then he knelt and gestured with his fingers to the mountains and rivers on the map.
For a moment, Zhao Shuo felt that the guy in front of him was quite Zhuge Kongming sitting in the thatched house during the Three Kingdoms period.
It gives people a kind of momentum of pointing out the country and swallowing the mountains and rivers.
"Your Majesty, please see." Chen Xinghan pointed to Shanggu County.
"This place has been lost and has become an important town for the Jin people."
"But we can't underestimate anything, after all, Shanggu belongs to Hebei, that is, one-third of Hebei's land is currently in the hands of gold thieves."
"This means that the golden thief did not retreat, but stationed in the military town, eyeing our Hedong."
"Therefore, the lower officials thought that the grain and fields we sowed this spring could not be carried forward into the autumn normally."
"Before autumn comes, the grain is not fully ripe, and it should be harvested quickly."
"If the harvest is finished, the gold thief will take the opportunity to wave south."
"At that time, they don't need to carry a grain of grain, and they can use the Hebei granary as their strategic reserve."
Zhao Shuo bowed slightly when he listened.
As the saying goes, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years.
In fact, Zhao Shuo didn't listen to Chen Xinghan's explanation before.
He completely ignored this important issue.
He concluded that the gold thieves would launch a massive attack when winter was approaching and the men were strong.
But wrong!
In fact, the careful personality of the gold thief picking and searching, calculating all the way.
It is very likely that they will launch an attack on the Great Song Dynasty when autumn comes, as Chen Xinghan said.
And before the Great Song Dynasty Jianbi cleared the wilderness, it quickly invaded the granary of Hebei.
In other words, the strategic buffer that Zhao Shuo previously designated in the north must increase the workload, and it must be accelerated.
Because the time of the gold thief's big attack was a quarter earlier than originally expected!
Zhao Shuo couldn't bear to interrupt Chen Xinghan now.
This guy is indeed Chrysostom.
"Your Majesty, the lower officials think that we will harvest in advance and discount the grain, and we will also be able to hoard millions of stones."
"This is enough for the Hebei Righteous Army to support for two months."
"And in two months, the weather has entered winter, and that is the period when the gold thief's combat effectiveness is the strongest."
"So, we have to continue to work on food."
"In addition, the imperial court must also consolidate the border defense and readjust the focus of defense."
"Xia Guan feels that the migration of people is also very important."
"There are few Jurchens, and they are coming back with gold thieves, and there will inevitably be an army from the old part of the Liao State."
"And every time the Jurchens attack the city and plunder the land, the biggest support for them is the population of my Great Song Dynasty."
"They drove our people to the north like cattle to work for them, thus supporting their ambitions for foreign expansion."
"That's why we're going to move the people ahead of time."
"The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled can cross the river and migrate to the south, where the climate is mild and the water and soil are suitable, allowing them to cultivate with relatively mild labor."
"Young and strong people can move them to Cheng'an County and Xiangzhou."
"War is for soldiers, and in my spare time I continue to cultivate and build cities."
"And the military reserves we provide to the front-line theater, and the strategic locations are set in Cangzhou and Cheng'an County, north of Bianliang City, so that there is no need to worry about our two damages."
"With the convenience of carriages and horses, the potential for war will naturally increase."
The more Chen Xinghan spoke, the more courageous he became, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became.
As if in his heart, the gold thief is not terrible.
Zhao Shuo's eyebrows rose when he heard this, and he was amazed and secretly amazed.
It's all dry goods!
Dry stuff!
As long as he prepares according to his policy, Zhao Shuo really can't think of why the gold thief is so powerful?
Immediately afterwards, Chen Xinghan's eyes fell on Beijing again.
"Now the city of Beijing has become the only remaining military town in the north of our country."
"Although the north is surrounded by enemies on three sides, it is a strategic location."
"As long as Beijing City is there, then the two towns of Taiyuan and Shanggu in the north will be constrained."
"And they don't dare to besiege Beijing rashly, otherwise our Korean army will encircle again, and the gold thieves will be encircled."
"In addition, send troops from Beijing City to recapture Taiyuan Town."
"If this happens, then our army with Taiyuan Town can whip Yanmen Pass and regain control of Youyun Erzhou."
"Therefore, the city of Beijing must not afford to lose."
