Li Chongshan rarely had a time when he couldn't sleep, and after the Central Plains army crossed the river, he hadn't slept for two or three days.

As an emperor, the most important thing he did in Hebei for so long was to send his slightly older sons back to the grassland, and the cowardly Xue Jun also transferred a lot, making him regret that no one had obvious actions to deal with his sons, otherwise it would be justified to return to the grassland, and he could also temporarily avoid Lin Jianyue's edge, recover his vitality in the vast land in the rear, straighten out the interior, and wait for the opportunity.

In that case, let's fight a decisive battle! What saddened him was that Balsif, who had assisted the Khan's court for decades, fell ill, and this immortal heaven was not on his side!

Like Lin Jianyue, before the war, Li Chongshan first thought about his retreat once he failed, he did not choose the Monan Hetao area, Zahmin's behavior made him see the signs of grassland rebellion, as for Guanzhong, the land of the four wars, and cut off contact with Qin Zhenghao for a few months. The place where Ancestor Mobei started is his first choice, and he also has the grasp of complete control and the hope of restoring the glory of the Golden Family.

Seeing that his situation is unfavorable, Master Qin has rebelled? Li Chongshan is not very confident, it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, after all, Master Qin is still a Han person, and now it is the Han people who have the upper hand, it is normal for Master Qin to wait and see, thousands of miles away, and he can't count on it.

In order for the territory of Wanli to still obey its orders, it is necessary to show its strong military strength and maintain a strong military group. There is definitely a problem with leaving without fighting, and it is not possible to spend money in Han all the time, and the continuous mobilization of materials from the west and the steppe to extract men and horses has already caused a backlash, and if it were not for Balsf's high esteem, maybe there would have been a rebellion.

Therefore, it is necessary to fight a dozen first, win a few victories, and then slowly return to the grassland, so that it is still the grassland Khan, in order to unite the troops gathered by the various tribes under his command.

But Lin Jianyue was too cautious, and he didn't move after crossing the river, or blindly defended and harassed, what did he want to do? It must be waiting for a breakthrough in the direction of Liaodong and Hedong, besieging himself from all sides, so that he can't take care of each other.

Thinking of Liaodong, Li Chongshan was very anxious, there had been no news for a long time, he did not have this luxury hope of completely defeating Lin Jianyue's troops in Liaodong, but he must not be defeated, at least he must maintain the military presence in Liaoyang Mansion, so that he can have the confidence to fight a decisive battle with Lin Jianyue.

The most terrifying thing is what Batusu reminded that since Lin Jianyue can directly transport troops to the Liaonan Peninsula by sea, or he can transport troops to the long coastline on the east side of the line from Hebei to Dadu, he can't defend it at all. It would be much better if Liaodong could hold on to it, otherwise the maritime army from the Liaonan Peninsula would be closer, and he would no longer have more troops to defend against the threat from the east.

This is the comprehensive disadvantage of time, place, and people, and the only thing to rely on is the invincible army in the world and Batusu, who is known as the god of war, but how long can it last? The baggage can barely hold on, but the combat power has been declining over the years, while Lin Jianyue is rising.

Li Chongshan sighed deeply, he thought that even if he was not as good as the founding ancestors, he was still stronger than his father Khan, how did he get to the point where he is now? Shouldn't you come to Handi? How can the history, culture and prosperity of the Han people make people endure and how can they not be envious? The conquest of the Han is the most glorious feat, and this is true of my father Khan, as well as myself.

Since ancient times, no one has completely conquered the Han people, the Khitan and Jurchen were also very strong, but unfortunately they did not last, the Han people were too resilient, and as a result, the foreigners themselves were weak and corrupt, and the Han regime was still there, even if they were more corrupt. If he hadn't conquered the Han people in one fell swoop when he was at the strongest, it was estimated that he would collapse in the end, and they were still there, Li Chongshan felt that he had done nothing wrong.

It's good that the Han people don't produce heroes, but it's a pity that there is a Lin Jianyue, is this God favoring them?

Liu Jiahao did not continue to fight with Mo Han in Chenzhou, the main force of the Wuwei Army had arrived, and he also knew Lin Jianyue's plan, although it was not a risk, but Liu Jiahao still did not plan to transfer the main force of the Wuwei Army to fight Mo Han, with the union of the Jurchens, he felt that Mo Han could not escape the fate of defeat in the end.

He felt that as soon as the Hedong Army arrived, plus himself and the main force on the Yellow River line, he could defeat Li Chongshan without waiting for the Liaodong troops to enter the pass.

"Governor Rendu, what's the situation on the other side of the sea? Found a good place? ”

"General, there are two best landing places, one is the mouth of the Haihe River, the southeast side of Dadu, far away from us, but the distance is very close, you can attack Dadu along the river, more than two hundred miles, after Wuqing County is Dadu. The other is the Luanshui River into the sea, which is the closest to us, 400 miles to the west of Dadu, and more than 100 miles to the north is Yuguan. ”

"Can't you go ashore in other places than these two places? By the way, I heard that Li Chongshan also has a water master, is it a big threat? ”

"The general can rest assured, the Hu people ship has built a lot, it used to be at the mouth of the Yellow River, but it has not become an army, and in the eyes of the last general, it is a civilian ship. As for landing, it is also possible in other places, but the trouble is much slower and the baggage is not easy to connect, those two places can directly enter the inland river from the sea, the baggage can be directly reached, and the navy can also provide limited support, in case the war is unfavorable, you can also directly get on the ship and evacuate. However, the Enemy Intelligence Division has already discovered that there are enemy horsemen nearby, and there are not many people, so the danger is not great. ”

"What about General Guo's opinion?"

"The task that His Highness requires must be completed is to take Yuguan to receive the Huaiyang Army of the Liaodong Army into the pass, and to attack Dadu together. The last general suggested that Luanshuikou should be chosen to attack Yuguan and capture Yingzhou, which could also avoid the threat of the Hebei cavalry in Dadu. ”

It is so far away from His Royal Highness, he can't ask for instructions, and it is the right time for him to be disobeyed by the order of the monarch outside, and His Royal Highness also means this, Liu Jiahao thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

"Your Highness's task must be completed, but the decisive battle is imminent, I don't know when Liaodong will be able to defeat Mo Han, and we can't wait for them to have a result before moving, then they will lose their fighters. It has been nearly a month since the day of your meeting, and it is estimated that His Highness is about to cross the river, and the Battle of Handan will begin immediately, so we cannot wait, and we must give His Highness support in time. Considering the time it took to deliver the message on the road, I decided to cross the sea in 15 days and attack the mouth of the Haihe River first. General Ren, the ship must carry enough materials to build the city, and I am ready to set up a fortress in a favorable position near the mouth of the Haihe River to meet the arrival of the follow-up cavalry troops. ”

Guo Shouzheng was shocked: "In this way, if you startle the grass and snakes, it will inevitably attract a large number of enemy troops to come, and the whole army will face huge risks, which will violate the unified deployment of His Highness." ”

"Otherwise, I think that if Liaodong divides the victory, Li Chongshan Batusu will definitely think that we will cross the sea to attack, so it will be more difficult to gain a foothold on the shore. I have fought Menghu for so many years, and I know how to deal with the cavalry in the field, let alone set up a fortress while they are not prepared, so I am even more sure. Ren Dudu, you are not far from the sea to support me, and if it is really unfavorable, you can get on the ship and take refuge. ”

"But ......"

"I led 50,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry troops ashore, General Guo, you lead the remaining 20,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry to wait in southern Liaoning, and when Liaodong divides the victory or defeat, immediately cross the sea and land at Luanshuikou, and sneak attack Yuguan to meet the entry of Liaodong troops, without hindering His Highness's overall plan. What's more, with me in the south to attract the attention of the enemy army, it will be easier for you to fight Yuguan. ”

"In that case, the risk of the Great General would be too great."

Liu Jiahao smiled confidently: "Where did Li Chongshan get so many troops to fight me?" His Royal Highness moves, he must only care about Handan, and then guard against me, he can't come to hit me, and he can get on the boat and run, don't worry! ”
