(Girls' Literature)

After reading the letters. A sigh followed.

Zhao Yueru smiled: "What is written in the letter." Look at you smiling wryly like this. ”

Yang Yan smiled bitterly. Hand the letter to Zhao Yueru. "See for yourself." ”

Zhao Yueru took the letter. Expand and take a look. I can't help but be a little surprised. It turned out that this was a letter written by Bi Zaiyu to Yang Yan. The letter details the march of the Song army in the previous stage. And now the situation in the North. The Song army is currently struggling to make any further progress. At the same time, Yang Yan was also asked. What to do next.

After Zhao Yueru finished reading it. I never thought that the Mongol army would defeat the 180,000 horses of the Jin army in Yehuling. Completely occupied Xuande Prefecture. So I feel a little embarrassed. "It's really hard to do. Bi Zaiyu's march to the east and south was blocked. If the Mongol army is allowed to seize the central capital. It's a big problem. ”

Yang Yan shook his head. Said: "Zhongdu is the capital of the Jin Kingdom. With the siege capabilities of the Mongol army. For the time being, it will not capture the central capital. It's just that you don't see it. Wanyan Changzhi actually deliberately ceded Taiyuan Mansion to the rebels. so that they can block Bi Zaiyu's route south. Otherwise, with the strength of the Jin army. It's not that even the rebels can't resist it. This hand is really clever. ”

Listen to what Yang Yan said. Zhao Yueru thought for a moment. "You have a point. But Wan Yan Changzhi did it. But is it just drinking to quench your thirst? I don't see anything clever about it. ”

Yang Yan smiled: "This is because you haven't figured out Wan Yan Changzhi's true intentions. Just figure it out. You can understand his cleverness. ”

Zhao Yueru was a little strange. "What is his real intention?" ”

Yang Yan said: "If my guess is right. He intends to completely abandon the Hebei region. Even the Yanyun area. Retreat to Shangjing. ”

Zhao Yueru was stunned. "Is this possible?" ”

Yang Yan smiled: "What's impossible about this. Now in Hebei and Yanyun. The Kingdom of Jin was attacked from three sides. I can't hold it at all. So instead of fighting for your life here. It's better to give it all up. Girls' literature is updated as soon as possible, and all the people are removed to preserve their strength. And Shangjing was originally the birthplace of the Jurchen people. And they do. It's just a return to my hometown. And.. There was a pause. He also said: "I'm just saying that the Jin Army gave up Hebei and Yanyun. It doesn't mean that it is given to us Da Song. ”

Zhao Yueru said: "Don't give us the Great Song." And to whom. ”

Yang Yan smiled bitterly again. "That's the biggest headache. If my guess is correct. Before the withdrawal of the Kim army. There will definitely be a way to give up these places to the rebels or the Mongols. And these are the lost territories that we have to regain. So after the withdrawal of the Kim army. The contradictions between our three parties will certainly intensify immediately. Just pick it up a little. It is not difficult to provoke a new war. And Jin Guo is so bad that he can stay out of it. Earn enough respite. If the three of us fight again, we will lose all three. The Jin army can also make a comeback. Regain Yanyun and Hebei regions. So after I finished speaking, Yan Changzhi's plan was clever. Yes, there is. ”

Zhao Yueru thought about it carefully. Although what Yang Yan said sounds a little unbelievable. But it really works. It's also entirely possible. Therefore, I can't help but feel a little worried. "So what should we do?" ”

Yang Yan said: "First of all, we must let Bi Zaiyu immediately take a detour and send troops. Capture Yizhou. In this way, the route of the Mongol army to the south could be blocked. Let the rebels of the Jin army get Hebei. The threat was much smaller than that of the Mongol army. And the Central Plains Middle Road and West Road must cross the river immediately. Seize as many areas of Hebei as you can. And our plan has to be implemented in advance. Immediately rushed to Shandong. Take a boat across the sea. Offensive in the capital. If you can capture the central capital before the Mongol army. Then in the later three-way melee. We can take the initiative. ”

Zhao Yueru nodded. said: "I think that's all I can do." ”

The subsequent news really confirmed Yang Yan's guess. After capturing Taiyuan Mansion. The rebels immediately moved south and north. In the north, Lanzhou, Guanzhou and Yizhou were captured. To the south, they successively captured Pingdingzhou, Liaozhou, Fenzhou, Mizhou and other places. It's almost overwhelming. It didn't take a few days. It basically occupied the North Hedong Road in an instant.

And on the other hand. The Mongolian army of girls' literature has not stopped its attack. After a short trimming. Advance now. And successfully captured Fengsheng Prefecture and Hongzhou. Now attack Ulju with all your might. In order to make a breakthrough in the south.

Yang Yan also immediately took action. First of all, it is written as an official document. Inform the court of Jiankang of his judgment of the war. The order is met again. Immediately send troops. Capture Yizhou. so as to block the route of the Mongol army to the south. Then stationed on the spot. And closely watched the movements of the Mongol army and the Jin rebels. Prepare for the battle after tearing their faces.

In the area south of the Yellow River. Yang Yan ordered Gao Zhen to lead an army of 100,000. Crossing the Yellow River, he immediately attacked the Hebei region. Girls' literature must first seize the daimyo's mansion. Establish a foothold in Hebei. Then immediately attack. while the other route led by Meng Zongzheng to 60,000. Cross the river and attack the Hedong region. Go both ways. Try not to clash with the rebels of the Kingdom of Jin for the first time. But if the rebels of the Kim State provoke first. It will not be tolerated. will give a hard response.

Then Yang Yan and Zhao Yueru only brought the front division of the palace to select the front army. Ma Jun Si Xiao cavalry rushed to Shandong. Prepare for an offensive across the sea.

After the assignment is completed. The Song armies from all walks of life also began to act. So Yang Yan and Zhao Yueru also said goodbye to their families. Embark on a new journey.

At this time, good news also came from the front line of Shandong. Girls' literature was updated for the first time, and Cao Xun captured Jinan Mansion with scriptures. Pu Atong led his army and fled north. The defenders of Dizhou, Dezhou, Zizhou, Bozhou and other places on Shandong Road also surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty. The entire Shandong region was basically recovered by the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, after Yang Yan and Zhao Yueru entered Shandong. Rushed directly to Jinan Mansion. Confluence with Cao Xun.

At this time, Li Gongzuo was attacking Cangzhou. Because he received Yang Yan's order. Led the warship back to Binzhou. It is stationed in the area of the entrance to the sea of the Yongqing River. He also rushed back to Jinan Mansion to meet Yang Yan.

I saw that all the people had arrived. Only then did Yang Yan explain his judgment of the current situation to everyone. Girls' literature and plans for the next step. It is to carry out cross-sea operations. Straight to the capital of the Kingdom of Jin. Zhongdu.

Cao Xun and Li Gongzuo were also shocked by Yang Yan's bold plan. But it's also very exciting. First, it is because he has full confidence in Yang Yan. And judging by the current situation. This plan is indeed very sure of success. Second, if you can successfully capture Zhongdu this time. It was even a matter of catching the end of the face. It can completely make up for the regret that he was still able to establish merit when attacking Kaifeng Mansion.

The next step is to discuss the details of this march. Although now the Song army is at sea and has no enemies. Moreover, the Song army also had considerable experience in sea-crossing operations. But this time it was not a small crossing. Because Zhongdu is the capital of the Jin Kingdom. Although Jin Guo is now dying. But according to Yang Yan's estimate. At least 70,000 to 80,000 troops should be ensured. is more confident in capturing the central capital. and be able to deal with other unexpected things happening.

At present, the Song army has more than 420 warships. In addition to sailors and the necessary sailors. The full force can carry about 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers at a time. But the battle across the sea is not the end of sending people to shore. In addition to transporting people. There are also corresponding horses. Food, tents, and other military supplies. Hence the sea crossing at once. 30,000 is the limit number. Then reach the figure estimated by Yang Yan. A minimum of three shipments are required. And that's not even counting large siege equipment like tower carts.

And according to Li Gongzuo's estimate. Board the boat from the mouth of the Yongchun River in Binzhou. Go ashore in the area of the mouth of the Haihe River in Daxingfu, where the central capital is located. It takes about three to four days. Other words. The first batch of 30,000 horses to arrive at the shore had to hold out for about eight to ten days. to be able to get the next batch of reinforcements. And wait until the large siege equipment arrives. I'm afraid I won't have it until the third arrival. Therefore, although Yang Yan's plan has a great deal of certainty of success. But there are also risks.

Of course Yang Yan knew. There is no absolute certainty in fighting a war. And time is of the essence. There's no time to make a rigorous plan. Give it a try even if it's risky.

And after the day of the counselling of the people. Final decision. For the time being, only three sea crossings were planned.

Yang Yan, Zhao Yueru, and Liu Fuwu were the first batch of generals to cross the sea. Lead 30,000 soldiers and corresponding horses. The rest should travel as light as possible. No large utensils are brought. Carry only fifteen days of grain and grass. But bring a bow, arrow, and firearms. At the same time there were twenty artillery pieces. After stepping ashore. It depends on the situation in the Nakato area. If you can attack, you can attack. If unattackable. Don't rush into the march. Instead, they immediately occupied one or two county towns near the shore of the city. Establish entrenched positions. Wait for the next batch of reinforcements to arrive.

And during the crossing of the first batch of Song troops to cross the sea. The men and horses left behind fought for fishing boats and merchant ships along the coast as much as possible. So that the last two batches can cross the sea and bring as many people and horses as possible.

The second group also crossed the sea with 30,000 men. The main generals will be Cao Xun and Zhang Shiyan. A portion of the ladder will be carried with the boat. After the two groups of men and horses joined forces. began to launch an attack on the central capital. First, clear the areas on the outskirts of the central capital. For the middle capital. It is also offensive and attackable. If it cannot be attacked, it will be garrisoned under the city. Waiting for backups.

The third group of sea crossers will be Guo Zhen. The number of people who land will depend on the battle situation in Zhongdu and the number of ships collected. If the battle situation is in favor of the Song army. It will mainly be used to transport large siege equipment. After landing. The Song army could immediately launch an attack on Zhongdu.

It also depends on the situation at the time. Determine whether a fourth group of sea crossings is required.

After the plan is decided. The Song army immediately began to implement it. Men and horses, grain and grass, utensils, and supplies. are all moving to Binzhou. Yang Yan, Zhao Yueru, and Liu Fuwu also led the first batch of Song troops to cross the sea. Climb aboard the warship. Heading out into the sea.
