Great Song Northwest!

Jian'an Mansion, in the marshal mansion of commander Chen Xinghan.

Many of the fierce generals of the Northwest Army have long been ready for battle.

But Chen Xinghan stared at the northwest military map opened in the hands of the soldiers without hurry.

His gaze deepened.

In Chen Xinghan's opinion.

Now is not the best time to send your own army to the north to regain the lost territory.

The city of Beijing and Baoding and Cheng'an County were all defended.

But now the situation is very serious, beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

In this attack of the Jin Army, the entire front was spread out in one line.

But after a few updates, a huge change has taken place.

The second army of the Jin army, Wanyan Zongfu, wanted to besiege Cangzhou, but he suffered on the Fucheng side and lost the support point of strategic support, so he had to abandon Cangzhou and march towards Shandong to exert pressure.

And the Great Song Dynasty did not have a decent defense on the Shandong side.

This has nothing to do with Zhao Shuo, because in the land of Shandong, when Song Huizong was in power, there was no strong fortress military town.

By now, the armament has been in disuse for many years, so it is simply unable to resist the offensive of the Jin army.

In the final analysis, the last line of defense on the eastern side of the Great Song Dynasty is Cangzhou in Hebei.

It can also be said that the two provinces share a military town.

It stands to reason that Zhao Shuo has authorized Li Gang to fully supervise the defense lines of Shandong and Hebei.

But for such a result, Li Gang can't be blamed.

After all, it was only six months since Zhao Shuo authorized him.

He was able to build the Cangzhou and Yellow River defense lines in six months, and he had already done a good job.

How can there be so much time and resources to build an impregnable military town in Shandong.

But Zong Ze's situation is different from Li Gang's.

After all, Zong Zejing's Beijing City has been in operation since a year ago.

During the entire anti-gold period last year, he had accumulated a certain amount of prestige in the hearts of the military and the people.

A considerable number of troops have also been accumulated.

In addition, the city of Beijing where he was stationed was not far from Bianliang City.

Therefore, the resources provided by Zhao Shuo to Zong Ze, involving the transportation of grain, grass and military salaries, can play a role in fueling the trouble.

And this time, there is another reason why the land of Shandong was conquered by the Jin army.

That is, Wanyan Sosuke continued to follow the previous strategy of playing and cheering.

Liu Yu on the Shandong side was delivered under the coercion and temptation of Wanyan Zongfu.

That guy was the regional governor of the Great Song Dynasty.

His delivery caused great fluctuations within the Song Dynasty.

It also played a bad leading role.

Therefore, the defenders of many small military towns in Shandong followed his example and surrendered directly to the Jin army.

Such a situation already made Zhao Shuo feel bad.

If all the land of Shandong fell into the hands of the Jin people, it would mean that the Jin people had a buffer puppet state regime in the Great Song Dynasty.

Similarly, Zhao Shuo's two buffer wings in the northwest and Shandong were also broken, and one of the wings was broken.

After that, I am afraid that it will not be possible to expand the political and military influence of the Song Dynasty to Shandong for a period of time.

The next more urgent military situation is that after Yan Zongfu occupies the land of Shandong, he will directly go south to capture Jinling City.

In order to put pressure on the defenders of Jinling City, Wanyan Zongfu took the lead in approaching Xuzhou City.

As soon as Xuzhou was lost, it meant that the Jin people completely held the East China Sea defense line on the Lianyungang side.

After consolidation, you can take advantage of the situation to go south to capture Jinling City.

And what about Jinling City?

Jinling's strategic position in the Great Song Dynasty did not give up Bianliang City in the slightest.

Because Jinling City was the economic and financial hub of the north and south of the Great Song Dynasty.

Almost all of the most developed canals in the Great Song Dynasty flow through Jinling City.

It is also a strategic place for the entire Great Song Dynasty to obtain grain, grass and taxes.

Moreover, Jinling is also surrounded by the Yangtze River.

On both sides of the Yangtze River is the Lianghuai region.

The Lianghuai region was the strategic granary of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the entire Song Dynasty, whether it was in its heyday or in its weakness, the grain tax revenue from the Lianghuai side accounted for 70% of the entire dynasty.

If Jinling and Lianghuai are lost again.

The strategic background of the Great Song Dynasty was completely deprived.

What is now in front of Zhao Shuo is no longer a question of resistance or non-resistance.

Because the Jin army went around the direction and attacked the southern region of the Song Dynasty, it had already launched a huge threat to the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty.

At that time, once the car overturns, then Zhao Shuo will lose the qualification for a protracted war.

The national capital of the Great Song Dynasty was shaken.

Now, Zhao Shuo must prepare with both hands.

First, if Jinling is occupied, then he must transfer the imperial court to Chang'an.

When he got there, Zhao Shuo could rely on Guan Zhongping to defend it.

It can also maintain the existence of the regime of the Great Song Dynasty.

But there will also be regrets.

That is, the land area of the Great Song Dynasty will be reduced by half.

In addition, the Guanzhong Plain had been abolished during the period of Song Qinzong.

Relying on taxes from there is simply not enough to sustain the existence of a military state.

At that time, the Northwest Army's food and salaries will not be solved.

The second method is to transfer the court of the Great Song Dynasty to Hangzhou, just like the Nine Emperor sisters in history, Zhao Gou.

In other words, Jinling City can be lost.

However, hundreds of thousands of soldiers must be deployed in the land of the two Huai, relying on the Huai River and the Yangtze River valley to resist the attack of the Jin army.

In fact, after losing the Central Plains, the south will not be able to launch a counterattack.

In the end, the general direction is to follow the old path of Zhao Gou in history.

A corner of peace, waiting for the world to change.

But that kind of change will take at least ten years.

Zhao Shuo can't afford to wait for a decade, and he doesn't have so much youth.

Thinking about it, Zhao Shuo was also quite helpless.

At present, the key to victory is to put the key to victory in the Northwest Army.

Now is the time for Chen Xinghan to unleash his military talents.

It was the Northwest Army that went to fight this war.

At this stage, Bianliang City is still standing, Beijing City is safe and sound, Baoding City is also standing, and Li Gang of Cangzhou is also standing still.

However, the Jin army found another way to enter the southern part of the Song Dynasty.

Compared with other places that have already gone through bloody battles, then the Northwest Army needs to engage in a big war.

Because for Zhao Shuo, he asked Chen Xinghan to go to the northwest to let him fight at this time.

Shaanxi Zhao Shuo doesn't plan to guard!

It is to be attacked.

And at such a juncture, Zhao Shuo expected that the Xixia people would not dare to act rashly.

Therefore, Chen Xinghan's 500,000 elites just had to beat Jin Jun with his head and face.

And Wan Yanfu, who was responsible for attacking the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty with the Jin army, also began to enter the northwest region of the Great Song Dynasty with an army of 100,000 under his command.

A vigorous battle begins.

Chen Xinghan of the Northwest Army did not lure the enemy into the depths, nor did he shrink the Northwest Army into a military town.

Instead, all the most capable troops were sent to the first year.

Therefore, the first battle of Wanyanfu into the northwest encountered the first bitter battle in his life.

In just one day's effort, the cavalry of the Jin Army under his command lost more than 10,000.

Until noon the next day, the two sides withdrew their troops.
