Ye Qingchen and Zhao Xin were politely invited out, Zhao Xin didn't care, he had already expressed his wishes, and next, it was the matter that was discussed and approved by the Privy Council, and he calmly followed Ye Qingchen back.

Ye Qingchen has a lot of things to deal with, and he was able to spare such a little time to accompany Zhao Xin to the Privy Council, looking at Zhao Xin and providing 1 million yuan of materials, now, the matter has been said, it sounds a little unbelievable, but it is very likely to be realized, Ye Qingchen is also a little surprised by Zhao Xin's brain.

When he arrived at the Third Division, in fact, on the way to the Third Division, Zhao Xin was ordered to expel the guests, and Zhao Xin was also very sensible, so he did not follow Ye Qingchen to the Third Division, but after Ye Qingchen showed it slightly, he directly said goodbye and left.

The Privy Council has not yet reached a final result, but Zhao Xin estimates that the possibility of passage is very high.

Military warfare itself is a way to look for opportunities in the unknown, and from the moment of the battle, a war that is bound to be lost will certainly not be fought, and victory can be achieved at a relatively small cost, even if it is a little risk.

As long as this army is not greedy for merit and recklessly, before the Northern Song Dynasty attacks the Liao State, if the true purpose of the Northern Song Dynasty is exposed, then there is no problem, if the goal is not reached, about 1,000 personnel, for the huge armament of the Northern Song Dynasty, the impact is not great, but as long as the expectations are met little by little, let them live a little better during the Northern Expedition, which is a huge benefit to the entire Northern Song Dynasty.

In fact, when Zhao Xin returned to the stronghold, there was a quarrel in the Privy Council, and the reason for the quarrel was not whether to carry out such an adventure, but for sure, what was the proportion of this adventure.

1,000 people, 2,000 people, 3,000 people, or more, for the commander-in-chief, he doesn't care how many people die, what he needs to consider is whether he can achieve his goal.

After a fierce quarrel, the specific personnel were decided, about 1,500 people, they can be responsible for the three fortresses alone, as long as the three nodes mentioned by Zhao Xin are blocked, then, if the Liao State wants to support the Zhejin Mansion, it can either choose to fight with the fortress, or it can only choose to detour.

Tough with the fortress, even if it is like the Northern Song Dynasty, proficient in all kinds of siege methods, and has a relatively sophisticated forbidden army, it does not consume dozens of times the casualties, it does not take more than half a month, don't want to capture any fortress at all, the cavalry of the Liao State is even more so, the checkpoint sealed by the fortress will become a flesh and blood mill, even if it can break through, the strength of the Liao army will be reduced a lot.

If you go around, it will take more than 10 days to go back and forth, even if it is a cavalry, it will take more than 10 days, which is very valuable for the Northern Expedition.

The Northern Song Dynasty was ready to fight without declaring it, which before, the Northern Song Dynasty did not dare to do this at all, the strength of the Liao State is visible, even if the generals on the border know that the other party is weak, they do not dare, because the follow-up retaliation is something they cannot bear.

But now, they are all preparing for the Northern Expedition, and if there is anything, of course, the Northern Song Dynasty will take on it, and of course they will be more radical, so that the progress will be faster in the early stage, and the results will be greater.

From the declaration of war to the news of this war, it takes time to reach the center of the Liao State, and the mobilization of the army is not as imagined, the military order on your side can be directly mobilized, such a fast reaction force, even if it is placed in China in the 21st century, it is also a small number of elite troops, and such a force is placed in the era of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is simply impossible.

As previously calculated, from the reaction of the Liao State to the arrival of a large number of cavalry, there may be a buffer period of half a month to 20 days, this time, it is somewhat difficult to conquer Zhejin Mansion, but if you add 10 days, or even longer, the possibility is very large.

I thought that this Privy Council meeting would end like this, and a plan that made everyone unbelievable was passed like this, but at this time, Di Qing, who had never expressed his opinion, suddenly proposed another plan.

This plan is more bizarre than the previous plan, but it is more supportive of the whole.

The plan is very simple, since it is a landing, it is okay to land inside the Bohai Sea, but what about outside?

According to the above on the map, the distance from Shandong to the Liaodong Peninsula is not far from the sea, and compared to the Zhejin Mansion, the Liaodong Peninsula is even more desolate and easy to break through and attack.

Compared with the closer Youyun, this side of the Liaodong Peninsula should be the hinterland of the Liao State, and if there is a cavalry team of about 3,000 people, the effect of harassment will be greater.

Compared with Nanjing's Zhejin Mansion, Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion, the importance of the Liao State is on a higher level, although it is said that the Shangjing of the Liao State is in the Linhuang Mansion, but the location of the Linhuang Mansion and the Liaoyang Mansion There is still a certain gap, many civil and military forces are stationed in Liaoyang, especially the Jurchen in the north has been making trouble, and it is stationed with heavy troops.

This is a new formulation, which is different from guarding the key points, and the key points are to build a fortress, otherwise 1,500 soldiers will deliver food, but on the Liaodong Peninsula in Pingchuan, 3,000 cavalry will play a huge role.

Among the three capitals, the closest to Zhejin Mansion is Liaoyang Mansion, and the cavalry may only need a few days to kill, once this place is hindered, the troops are pinned down on the Liaodong Peninsula, which is greater for the support of the Northern Expedition.

The question raised by Di Qing does not need to be considered, and if you know a little about the military, you will understand that this is an excellent method, but there is a problem with whether the navy has the ability to support such a large volume of transportation.

There was no way, a carriage came out again, went directly to the station to find Zhao Xin, and pulled Zhao Xin back to the Privy Council.

Zhao Xin didn't care, and didn't even ask the little official who came to invite him, what was going on, about the Privy Council and many privy envoys, it was impossible for the little official to know those details.

Sure enough, he also returned to this room, and he came twice a day, and he was a little familiar, the only difference was that Zhao Xin did not have Ye Qingchen as an accompaniment.

Soon, after the idle people were cleaned up, Han Qi and the others told the purpose, and Zhao Xin laughed dumbly after hearing it.

These people can't be underestimated, they can leave their names in history, especially in the era of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, everyone is a natural hero, and such people can quickly draw inferences.

Blocking Shanhaiguan is an operation behind enemy lines and a landing operation, but it still cannot be compared with the Liaodong Peninsula.

One is materiel and a small army, and the other is simply elite cavalry.

This is nothing, although Zhao Xin does not want to expose the huge capacity of the Dinghai Navy, but there is a time lag in between.

It may take several days for the speed of the transport ship to go back and forth, but if it is assembled near Hebei, the closest place to the Liaodong Peninsula, it will take very little time.

How big is the Bohai Sea, from Qingdao to Dalian in later generations, the distance on the sea is only a few tens of kilometers, even if it is a ship of this era, the speed of 10 knots, a few hours, can be crossed.

After listening to Zhao Xin's explanation, everyone was relieved, compared with the blockade, all the cavalry has a strong ability to mobilize, and the speed of travel on land is also quite fast, and it is not unacceptable to go to Hebei, so that the cavalry can go to the Liaodong Peninsula for a period of time, for example, a week to 10 days, and then carry out an operation, even if it is exposed, there is no problem, and it really attracts the attention of the Liao State from Shanhaiguan to the Liaodong Peninsula, which is also a good thing.

Of course, Zhao Xin also added a little thing to them, the cavalry is alone, the biggest problem is the problem of supply, although the cavalry comes like the wind, and there are many grasslands and forests on the Liaodong Peninsula, but the war horses fight continuously, and they also need food like soybeans as a supplement.

Zhao Xin could agree on a few locations to provide them with these supplies, and in case of emergency, he could also risk letting the sea ships approach and pick up the cavalry through the salute and the agreed method.

In this way, it can greatly reduce consumption, compared with the forbidden army sent to the vicinity of Shanhaiguan, all the selected cavalry can be said to be the elite of the forbidden army, otherwise, they would not dare to enter the Liaodong Peninsula with 3,000 horsemen alone.

Such an elite, one less is one less, which is a bearable loss for the forbidden army, but based on every general, one less death of such a person, one more elite, the same is the same for the officer who leads the team, under the premise of death, there may be variables, there is a way back, even if it is not so reliable, it is finally a glimmer of hope, isn't it.

This matter was completed under the leadership of Zhao Xin, and the Privy Council supplemented, the whole plan is like this, Zhao Xin also knew the day of the attack, the Privy Council has been coordinating during this time, and the final result of the coordination is that it will be opened after 20 days, and now, most of the army has been coordinated in place, and the remaining 1500 troops, as well as 3000 cavalry, this point needs to be mobilized hard.

However, this part is elite, plus there are enough horses, it can be mobilized in place.

The cavalry will be in place after 10 days, and the infantry will be in place after 15 days, which requires that the fleet of the navy must arrive at the predetermined sea area before 12 days, and then transfer 3,000 cavalry to the Liaodong Peninsula.

In 3 days, 3000 cavalry were transported to the island, and then back, 1500 infantry were transported in place.

This time difference, for Zhao Xin, is not a problem at all, from the agreed place to the Liaodong Peninsula, the time of sea shipping, may not exceed one day, a total of several hundred miles of voyage, one day is enough, plus up and down time, it is only two or three days, the difference between 5 days is enough.

According to 12 days later, the cavalry arrived on the Liaodong Peninsula, 17 days later, landed at Shanhaiguan, and then 20 days later, it was the time of the Northern Expedition, when the 3-way army, almost 200,000, would attack together, and the Northern Song Dynasty would tear up the alliance of the Yuanyuan, and then attack Liao.

After the agreement, Zhao Xin immediately sent someone to inform that the 30 ships were already the result of Zhao Xin's calculations, and in the middle, not all of them were new sailboats, and some of the new sailboats needed to be filled into fishing, although they could be transformed and used as transport ships.

But in this way, it has a huge impact on fishing, from the beginning of the operation of the Yangtze River estuary fishing ground to the present, it is necessary to ensure 20 to 30 boats, so that the number of fish caught every day will be very amazing, which is not only very big for the support of the entire Ding Navy, because these fish meat, produce high-grade military rations, but also a new product of the Ding Navy, especially under the premise that Zhao Xin promised to double.

480,000 Guan, I'm afraid it's not all, the sixteen states of Youyun, for the Northern Song Dynasty, is a long-cherished wish, and for the Liao State, it is also a lifeline, and it was slaughtered by Yuan Hao on the grassland, and it was impossible to bear the price of losing the sixteen states of Youyun.

Even if the Northern Song Dynasty had a combination of a fortress and a longbow, it would not be able to stop for two or three years, which was a huge consumption for military rations.

In the absence of means of sea passage, when the river has not yet been penetrated, military rations are the best method, small in size, light in weight, as long as they are transported once, they can be supported for a long time, as for the problem of high prices, there is no need to consider at all, the grain used to be cheap, but when it is transported thousands of miles away, the price has soared to a terrible situation, which is also the reason why military rations sell well.

30 transport ships, yes, after the third batch, all the ships turned to the transport ships, in order to set the terrible production speed of the navy, in the half month that Zhao Xin came to Bianliang, it should be possible to build about 50, 30 is a number after the discount.

Zhao Xin is not sure whether these ships are all used, 10 days is a bit tight, from Dinghai to Hebei, the voyage is a matter of one or two days, but it is the key to transfer ships.

Written by Zhao Xin himself, and stamped with the order of the big seal, take the Northern Song Dynasty 800 miles of expedited system, at most 2 days can reach the Dinghai Navy, even if there are not enough ships, as long as there is a part, you can also drive out, eight days, almost enough to transfer the ship back, 30 of the 50 ships, the difficulty is less than 50 ships.

Similarly, 30 ships, which is also Zhao Xin's practice of leaving leeway, 3000 cavalry, according to the standard of 10,000 materials, even if you add one person and two horses, it is less than 30 ships, 1500 forbidden troops and 4000 people, as well as a large number of building materials and machinery, it is about the same, about 20 can be satisfied, the real ship is not together, there are more than 20 ships, it is enough.

I'm afraid this is the first cross-sea landing in this world, don't say that the Liao State is defenseless, even if it is prepared, how to be prepared, even if you know that the Northern Song Dynasty is preparing to land near Shanhaiguan, but the coastline that is dozens of miles long, or even farther, can he fortify everywhere, there is no fortification everywhere, and there are mobile troops, there is no way to block the landing of the Northern Song Dynasty.

At this moment, the Liao State would never have thought that under his coercion, the Northern Song Dynasty, like a quail, would actually seek to seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and it was also a double blow of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Ding Navy.

Landing across the sea, or twice at once, the same, there are asymmetrical strikes and encirclement reinforcements, these tactics that are far beyond this era, and even incredible, finally fell on the Liao State for the first time, making them suffer.
