For every extra hundred wen, the armor on the soldier's body will be one point stronger. For every additional tael of silver, the enemy's effective range decreases by fifty to eighty paces.

Don't underestimate this tiny distance, the cavalry of the Zhenguo Army relied on this small distance to make the Jurchen soldiers who were good at riding and shooting helpless.

After Yan Lou's room withdrew and returned to Dading Mansion, the Zhenguo army naturally wanted to take advantage of the situation to march. Wanyan Zonghan led an army of 200,000 to fight with the Liaoxia coalition army in the area of Tanshan and Tianling, taking advantage of the emptiness of defense at this time, Tang Ning's idea was to be able to completely cripple Wanyan Lou's room.

It is impossible to help Liaoxia break the siege, if the two of them can't defeat the Jin army together, then simply Song Guo will fight against Jin Guo on his own, and there is no need to continue to waste time on these two pig teammates.

Whether or not to completely abolish the Jin Kingdom is not something that Tang Ning should think about now. Zhao Xu was sick in bed, and there were only two states in the sixteen states of Yanyun.

At this time, Tang Ning's main task was to defeat the Jin people as much as possible, so that the Liao State had a chance to win, restrain their attention, and then take the opportunity to use various means to bring the remaining fourteen states into the hub.

It's easier said than done. To the south of Dading Mansion, where Wanyan Lou's room is located, there are two important military towns of Songting Pass and Bei'an Prefecture in front of Tangning.

The long journey coupled with fighting deep behind enemy lines was not a simple matter for the Song army.

After thinking about it, Tang Ning didn't find a better solution. So I had to have a meeting to see what everyone thought.

Gao Shu failed to arrive with the Pingxia Battalion to guard the back road, and the rest of the generals were almost all gone.

Before starting the discussion, Fang Yong stood up and said, "Let's talk first, I'm not as good as yours, so you don't need to bring me with you when you discuss."

I unconditionally support the decision of the Lord, and I will do whatever the Lord says. ”

"Old Fang, your sycophant is really loud." Chen Daniu smiled and said: "But this is true, I Chen Daniu has no knowledge, and it is all about bringing the Lord to get to where I am today."

Therefore, I am the same as the old party, I unconditionally support the decision of the general, and I will do what the general says. ”

"You two be serious, this is a meeting, not messing around with the two of you!" Cheng Yang has resigned, and now he has found someone to build a house on the edge of the Danyang Hou Mansion to support the elderly, and now Zhao Yan is the supervisor of the Zhenguo Army.

Hearing the speeches of the two, Zhao Yan was angry. How many of the people who can get into the position of generals in the Zhenguo Army are stupid? These bastards, obviously they don't want to use their brains, and they still say things so nicely.

Tang Ning was angry, and Fang Yong and Chen Daniu could continue with a hippie smile. But Zhao Tong was angry, and the two of them didn't dare to grin their teeth. I can only bow my head and keep my head down like a schoolboy who has done something wrong.

Tang Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, okay."

Now, since both of you have said so, then even if you both abstain.

I called you over today, mainly to ask you, whether we will continue to move forward and fight all the way to Dading Mansion, or withdraw to Danzhou first, and first go to take back all the places in the eastern part of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. ”

Shenqian was the most positive, slapped the table and stood up and said: "Of course, it has hit Dading Mansion, if you don't put some pressure on Jin Guo, when we go to recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, what should they do if they get in the way?" ”

"Makes sense, I'm for it." Liang Cheng, the deputy commander of the left wing, naturally turned to his leader, and jumped out to echo it as soon as possible.

But Fang La poured a basin of cold water and said, "This proposal is too rash, after all, we are now in the territory of the empire, and the transportation of supplies is very difficult.

Besides, we are not without worries, in case the Liao State guards in Danzhou rebel, or the Jin State sends people to cut off our back roads and cut off supplies, at that time, we will be alone, but we will be fish and meat to be slaughtered on the chopping board.

Moreover, Bei'an Prefecture and Songting Pass have been battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and the city walls are thick, even if you attack, you can't take it down all at once.

Therefore, my opinion is to retreat to Danzhou first, at least until our DPRK officials arrive in Danzhou to stabilize the situation, and then consider whether to enter Datong Province. ”

"That's very pertinent." Chong Jianzhong Fu Xu praised: "This proposal is good, the old man agrees." ”

Xiao Shi looked at Shen Qian, then at Fang La, tangled for a moment, and finally said, "I support Fang La's proposal." ”

Then the generals expressed their positions, but in the end, it turned into a tie, and the final choice was in the hands of Zhao Tong and Tang Ning.

Zhao Yan blinked, he would never interfere at this time. So Tang Ning coughed and said, "Since everyone has expressed their stance and there is no result yet, then it is up to me to decide."

Let's first analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the two views.

The advantage of the advance strategy proposed by Shen Dashao is that it can deal a heavy blow to the Jin army, make the Jin army breathless, and give the Liao State room to counterattack.

And the follow-up situation caused by this is that the Liao State ignores us because of the war against the Jin State, and we can take the opportunity to recover the land of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun as much as possible.

However, the obvious disadvantage is that it takes too long and is easy to cause extraneous branches. Moreover, in cross-border warfare, it is difficult to make up for any losses in a short period of time. Once the logistics are not available, we will face a serious situation.

Do you have any other thoughts on this? ”

Everyone shook their heads, meaning that we have nothing to say, you keep talking.

Seeing this, Tang Ning continued: "Then the withdrawal strategy proposed by Fang La is more compromised. The advantage is that you can fight steadily and slowly consume the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom. And when it comes to the war of attrition, we who have gunpowder will always be invincible.

Jurchens eat

After the loss, we will no longer beg for hardship, so that when we recover Yanyun, there will be no Jurchens who will interfere with it and sabotage our plan.

However, the disadvantage is that this law is too robust and cannot cause major damage to the Jin State in a short period of time, and naturally it cannot create opportunities for the Khitans and party members.

At the same time, ......" Speaking of this, Tang Ning hesitated for a moment, but continued: "The physical condition of the official family, you don't need me to say more, you also know.

Now we are racing against time, using the shortest time to create the best chance for the recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, which is the task of our Zhenguo Army. ”

Hearing Tang Ning talk about this topic, Zhao Yan was a spirit, and the rest of the generals also became serious.

In the past, every time I came to this link, it was the time for the generals to spray each other, and when it was serious, it was not for nothing that they pulled their hair and fought.

But today, Tang Ning mentioned this matter, and everyone quieted down without exception, and began to think about the best plan.

After being silent for about a stick of incense, Chen Daniu was about to fall asleep, and no one squeaked anymore. The big tent was filled with the sound of heavy breathing, and everyone felt some pressure to a greater or lesser extent.

Tang Ning took a deep breath and said, "Since you can't help it, then listen to my thoughts." With that, Tang Ning stretched out a finger and pointed to the map on the table and said, "After we have stored enough supplies for fifteen days, we will bypass Bei'an Prefecture and take the road to Douling."

After that, then turn over Ma Yu Mountain, go to Changxing Pavilion, and directly surround Dading Mansion. ”

Chong Jianzhong immediately shook his head and said, "No, the goal of 50,000 people is too huge, and it is impossible for the Jurchens not to find us." ”

"I know." Tang Ning nodded: "So after we besiege Dading Mansion, the next thing we have to do is to surround the point and send reinforcements." Defeat all the Jurchen soldiers who came to reinforce and the Jurchen defenders in Dading Mansion.

Then, when the time was ripe, he immediately attacked Dading Mansion, and then immediately retreated to Danzhou to continue to recover the land of Yanyun's sixteen states.

If this trip goes according to my plan, then we will be back in Danzhou in about thirty days. If something happens, it won't take much time.

In this way, when we hit the Jin army hard and recaptured the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Khitans were not easy to say, what did the generals think? ”

Look at me, people, and I'll look at you. Although there was a strange look on everyone's face, they still nodded.

He asked, "Then after the fifteenth, where will our grain and grass come from?" You can't let the soldiers fight on an empty stomach, right? ”

"Don't worry." Tang Ning smiled: "If things really develop according to my expectations, then the food, the Jurchens will help us send it."

Maybe we can pick up cattle and sheep on the road? ”
