"My daughter knows where the Jin soldiers are!" Jia Fa Chenniang didn't want to suffer either, so she came to Hong Tao's side and whispered.

"You know...... Oh, I forgot, you also have the Oceanic Bureau. Say, where are they? It only took a second for Hong Tao to understand what Chen Niang meant.

It is true that Jeju Island's intelligence system originated from Wang Shi, but they have an advantage that Wang Shi cannot match, and they live in a multi-ethnic mix. Occupation, age, education, and identity can all be faked, as long as you work hard, you can really confuse the real with the fake, or even more real than the real one.

It's hard to pretend to be the only thing about the nation, mainly because it doesn't look like it, and it's a big obstacle in language. The language learned and the language that the Jurchens grew up with can hear with one ear. They have been living with the Khitans for a hundred years, and they still have this bit of ear power.

"They are in Xinghua, Wende, Yongxing and Ruzhou, Wende and Yongxing only have 5,000 Jurchen soldiers and more than 10,000 Khitan soldiers, Ruzhou and Xinghua each have more than 30,000 Jurchen soldiers, and the Khitan soldiers and horses have more than doubled. This is an arrangement from a month ago, and I don't know if my daughter has changed or not. With the ready-made map on the table, Chen Niang picked up the charcoal pen, drew a line on the left and right, and after the introduction was completed, the map was marked.

"Zhao Yan, come and take a look, no wonder you admit it when you meet, your skills are not as good as others." Describing an event on a military map is not a random drawing, and there are rules about what each stroke represents.

As for being so troublesome? That's it. Once the drawing is finished, it must be presented to any officer, whether he is present or not, to be able to understand all the data contained on it. Otherwise, you won't be able to fight a hundred staff battles, so you can't send someone to explain them one by one.

Chen Niang has studied well since she was a child, and she is not as partial as Wang Shi, as long as Hong Tao asks her to learn, she is excellent, including drawing. Don't look at being a queen for so many years, her skills have not been wasted at all, she is more skilled than Zhao Li, who sketches and draws all day long, and the font is beautiful and clear.

"......" Zhao Tong knew that his skills were inferior to others without looking, and he didn't plan to distinguish them, so he looked down at his toes and pretended not to hear.

"It seems that this battle can't be avoided, let's think about it, which way to fight." Hong Tao didn't expect Zhao Tong to harden up immediately, and the root of the disease that fell when he was a child would not be easy to change for the rest of his life.

He was more worried about the peace talks, the Jurchens were indeed more fierce than the Khitans, they were not playing false, and they didn't think much about the initial problems in the country, this was to put on a posture and move south.

On the east and west roads, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses have gathered, and they must all be the strongest in combat. In a short period of time, they may be frightened by their name and hesitate a little, but as long as they find out the troop arrangement of Xijin Province and know that there are only more than 10,000 new troops going north, they will immediately have the next move.

Don't look at the difficulty of the Great Song Dynasty to spy on the intelligence of the Jin Kingdom, it is much easier for the Jin Kingdom to know the deployment of troops in the border areas of the Great Song Dynasty. Not for anything else, just because there are many ethnic groups in Youzhou Road in addition to the Han people, including the Khitan and Jurchen.

Whether there is a detailed work of the other party among these people, there is no need to check, there must be. But he and the court couldn't say that they were afraid of the news leaking, so they arrested all the foreign residents, and most of them were still people who kept to themselves.

Since you can't hide it, don't think about it. The other side has more than 100,000 elites in its hands and is ready to go south, and the proposal for peace talks will definitely not be taken seriously at this time. If you want the Jurchens to sit down at the negotiating table obediently, you have to beat them up first, so that they understand that this is not a good time to go south.

Xinghua is in the northeast of Youzhou, located on the west bank of the Luan River, which is probably equivalent to the Chengde area of the later generations, less than 200 miles away from Danzhou, and only 100 miles away from the Gubei Village on the border of Youzhou, which is half a day for the cavalry.

Ruzhou is in the northwest of Xijin Province, and it is likely to be the Guanting Town of the later generations, because there is a large lake next to it, which looks a bit like the Guanting Reservoir in the later generations. This is a station of the Liao Emperor's Four Seasons Bowl, which is closer to the county seat of Changping, less than eighty miles.

Wende and Yongxing are further west, along the Sanggan River, but not Zhangjiakou. The approximate location is in Huailai, Xiayuan, and Xuanhua, and you can't run out of these places.

After figuring out the enemy's troop deployment, Hong Tao roughly understood the other party's intentions. One northwest and one northeast, the trend of corners, this is so that the defenders of Youzhou can not take care of the left and right.

Don't look at the distance from Changping to Danzhou, but there are mountains in the middle, and there are no ready-made official roads and post roads to connect, and the large army really can't move quickly by relying on the rugged mountain roads, even the new army can't play.

In this case, the defenders of Youzhou will have to take care of the left and right to separate the forces. However, defense is always passive, and when the enemy's main attack direction is not known, the deployment of troops is too fixed, which is equivalent to weakening the defensive force by five points. Once they are broken through by the enemy, they can't rescue each other in time, so they can only watch the Jin people go south.

It is indeed difficult to block the cavalry brigade from entering the hinterland of Youzhou, which has convenient transportation, and the defense strength of the two roads in Hebei has not been as strong as before in recent years, and the forests have been cut down a lot by themselves in the name of building river embankments, and many ponds have also been filled into fields. It's hard to imagine that the Jin people can break through the Baigou River all the way and coerce the Daimyo's Mansion.

Of course, Hong Tao is not worried that the Jin soldiers can threaten Kaifeng, and with Wang San in the Daimyo's Mansion, it is no problem to deal with tens of thousands of cavalry. If Jin Bing has to rush over, then don't come back. Wang San and Wang Da blocked one in front and one in the back, and doubled the soldiers and horses, and the Jin soldiers were also the fate of the entire army.

It's a pity that the Jin soldiers won't be so stupid, at most they will walk around Hebei Road, grab some softness, burn some villages and towns, catch some slaves, and fight a few more sports battles, try to consume the number of the Great Song army, and then go back again.

But this is too passive for Hong Tao, even more humiliating for the emperor, and a good thing for the courtiers. They were finally able to get hold of their desperate opposition to the New Deal, and even if they didn't succeed, they would add too much trouble.

Therefore, Hong Tao must not allow the Jin people to go south, let alone go to Hebei Road to fight Grass Valley, and don't come to Youzhou. You want to fight, don't you? Come on, let's fight with you, but I have to choose the location of the battle, go to your house to fight, and I won't feel distressed if I smash it all!

Now that the enemy's disposition is clear, it is time to discuss whether to go west or east. On this issue, the staff officers did not reach a consensus, and each had its own reasoning.

Some people think that Xinghua should be attacked, although it is a little farther away, but the enemy has relatively few troops. Ruzhou, Wende, and Yongxing were too close to each other, and attacking any one point was easy to be copied by the other two points, and the new army did not have so many troops to take care of the front and rear.

Some people think that Ruzhou is the best direction of attack, it is close, only eighty miles away, and it is all post roads. Even if the enemy's reinforcements come, can they retreat for dozens of miles? Youzhou is not only a new army, Changping has tens of thousands of forbidden troops stationed. Let them fight a little reluctantly with the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, and let's answer the meeting.

"Girl, tell me, which one should be fought in Xinghua or Ruzhou?" Hong Tao did not rush to a conclusion on this issue, but pushed Chen Niang to the map and let her express her opinion.

"My daughter is just a guest, how can such a military event be a little woman's ......" As a result, Chen Niang was quite polite, and shrank back with a twist.

"There are no irrelevant people in this house, and since you have come in, you will not be able to go anywhere until the battle is over. If you dare to take a step out of the camp, the sentry will shoot. If you don't believe it, just try it, except for a few egg-cowardly buns here, not many people know you! ”

When Chen Niang came back this time, Hong Tao found that she had changed. In the past, she wiped all the bad water on her face, and began to calculate people as soon as they met. Now she looks very different from the Song people except for her appearance, and there is nothing wrong with her personality or anything.

But Hong Tao understands that this child has sequelae when he is the queen, and there is no shortage of bad water, but it is hidden in the stomach, which makes people even worse. There is no good way to deal with this kind of person, but to be tough.

“…… The daughter felt that she should fight Ruzhou. Chen Niang pursed her lips and reluctantly stretched out her hand to point to the map.

"After saying that, you are not the emperor, we have to execute half a sentence without asking the reason!"

Hong Tao understood why Chen Niang didn't want to express her opinion, she was waiting for the best moment, and it was best to let everyone come forward when they had nothing to do. This may also be the basic skill of being an official, and if you express your position too early, you will be passive.
