On this day, Shen Long discussed in the mansion of the brothers of Liangshan, "Now that the government is stable for the time being, we can finally free up our hands to solve the Jin Kingdom, I decided to lead the troops north to smash the Huanglong Mansion, what do you brothers think?" ”

"The master is a daughter, why should he take risks himself? Now there are many fierce generals in the court, not only the brothers here, but also the new generals such as the Yang family, the Zhe family, the Chong family, the Di family, and the Li Gang, who are both civil and military. Lin Chong got up and said, now the heroes of Liangshan don't dare to call their brother anymore.

That Wanyan Agu is dead, and now the reigning is Jin Taizu Wanyan Min, the Jurchen name is Wu Qimai, and the rest of Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan are the commanders of the previous Jin soldiers' attack on the Song Dynasty, and they have to be brought together.

"What Captain Lin said is very true." Wen Huanzhang nodded in agreement, Lin Chong can now be called a captain, and he is not much better than the Gao Yu who was forced to be with him.

"It's just a golden country, why do you need the Taishi to go out in person? What's more, Beijing is still unstable, if there is no Taishi in charge, I am afraid that someone will be in trouble. Wen Huanzhang was worried about this.

"I also know about this matter, but when the time comes, there will be all the brothers in the capital, Wen Junshi is in charge of the court, Teacher Xu is in charge of the ban, Chai Daguan and Gu sister-in-law are guarding Zhao Ji and Zhao Gou, Shi Qian is in charge of the Imperial City Division, and the rest of the brothers are guarding the gates of each city, so there is nothing to worry about, even if there are so many people who don't know the times, it is better to jump out now." All the key points in the capital are now in Shen Long's hands, whether it is the government, the army, the intelligence department, or even the inner house, they are all under Shen Long's control.

There will be any worries about what will go wrong, as soon as the words fell, Shi Qian said, "Master Taishi, rest assured, a few restless people have long been targeted by our Imperial City Division, if they don't move, it's okay, if they dare to move, they will be taken down by us if they can't get out." ”

Shi Qian is now with Yan Qing, Le He and others, serving as the Imperial City Division, this position is not exclusive to the internal servants, and the military ministers can also hold it, this is the department of the Great Song Dynasty in charge of the palace ban, Zhou Lu Suwei, and spying intelligence, but it is quite similar to the Jinyi Wei of the Ming Dynasty, and they are like fish in water in this position.

"This time I led the army to the battle, it's not that I can't trust your brothers, it's just that firearms have been in the army for a short time, and your brothers are not as skilled as me in command, so it is better for me to lead the troops myself; Brothers, don't worry about being useless, in the future, it will depend on you brothers to conquer the Western Xia, regain the land of revival spirits, and even reopen the Western Regions and reproduce the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties. After convincing Wen Huanzhang and the other ministers, Shen Long turned to the side of the generals.

"But we were stupid and failed to learn the Taishi's case." Speaking of this, all the generals lowered their heads, although Shen Long taught them carefully, but what they had learned since they were young was the tactics and strategies of the cold weapon era, and after all, they were still a little behind.

"It doesn't matter, when this battle is over, you have experienced the tempering, and you will be familiar with the Western Xia and the Western Regions in the future, if you want to regain the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, there will be opportunities for meritorious service in the future." Shen Long reassured that since he entered Tokyo, he opened a martial arts school, personally teaching Liangshan heroes, the disciples of the generals, and the generals he collected from memory, and there will be no shortage of people to lead troops in the future.

"When I leave the capital, the military affairs of the Chinese and the military will be discussed and handled by the military advisors and the Zhu Wu brothers, Lin Chong brothers and others, if anyone dares to disobey, they will take it directly......" Shen Long also carefully told him about the matters after leaving Tokyo for the Northern Expedition, and everyone listened carefully and took it to heart.

The army goes out to fight, it is not a casual thing, there are many preparations to be made, the most important thing is the logistics supply, including the grain and grass that people eat and chew, the armor and weapons on the sergeants, etc., the Great Song Dynasty has just suffered the disaster of war, and the vitality has not yet recovered, so as soon as I heard that Shen Long was going to go north to Yanyun, many officials who returned to him were discouraged.

"Taishi, now that the imperial court is short of grain, grass and weapons, let's wait a few more years!" Of course, there are also people who are silent or even echo Shen Long, and what they have is the idea of waiting for Shen Long to carry out a conspiracy after leaving Beijing, so some people even began to think about colluding with the Jin State, leaking the information of the army's expedition, and even cutting off the army's food and grass.

"I have already prepared for grain, grass and ordnance, and the steel produced by Liangshan every year is several times that of the rest of the Great Song Dynasty combined, so it is not a problem to help the whole army purchase armor and weapons!" It is said that the annual steel output of the Great Song Dynasty can reach 150,000 tons, but it is a pity that the Great Song Dynasty has no way to convert its production capacity into combat effectiveness.

"As for grain and grass, I have planted high-yield crops in Liangshan over the years, and I have quite a lot of savings; Si Nongqing, Tao Zongwang, also promoted these crops in various places, and in the future, my Great Song Dynasty will not be disturbed by hunger and cold. Shen Long continued, "In addition, Li Jun, the commander of the Fubo Army, has already led a large army to conquer Jiaozhi and returned victorious, and the food brought back with the army is more than one million stones, which is enough for the Northern Expedition army. ”

Jiaozhi had repeatedly invaded the Great Song Dynasty before, and also committed the tragic massacre of the city in Yongzhou and other places, how could Shen Long let it go? It has long been arranged for Li Jun to lead the sailors to crusade against Jiaozhi.

Hey, it's really pitiful to think about the Great Song Dynasty, not only the Liao, Xixia, and Jin countries came to bully them, but even the little Jiaozhi dared to invade the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, this time give them a lesson first, and when the Jin State is cleaned up, Jiaozhi County will be restored in the future.

Since food, ordnance, soldiers, and generals were not a problem, and the ministers of the palace had nothing to say, Shen Long immediately issued a document to the world in his own name, informing the people of the world of his plan to lead the northern expedition, recover Yanyun, and directly attack Huanglong.

The people of the Great Song Dynasty, especially the people of Hebei, Henan, and Hedong generation, hated the Beiyu to the core, and responded to this incident one after another.

There is also that careful, found the strangeness of this notice, before Shen Long issued various edicts, all in the name of Zhao Gou, but this time he directly used his own name, could it be that when the Northern Expedition returned, he would ...... If that's the case, you'll have to prepare for it.

After some preparations, on the auspicious day of the set day, Shen Long personally sacrificed heaven and earth and the military god Chiyou, and then led the army to the Northern Expedition.

Listening to the sound of the trumpet, the army set off from the school in turn, Shen Longgao sat on a horse, sat in the Chinese army and led the army to slowly go north, the people on both sides rubbed shoulders and shouted in unison, "Taishi Wansheng!" ”

And in some dark corners, there are those who nervously plot their own machinations.
