Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he nodded towards Qu Duan, and Qu Duan walked up.

"Your Majesty, my lords, the General Staff Headquarters has been discussing the plan of the Northern Expedition since last year. We have been in constant contact with many border generals and listened to their opinions! In the past few months, the General Staff Headquarters has been discussing this matter day and night! Now I will explain the plan that has been drawn up to His Majesty and all the adults." Qu Duan said.

The room was extremely quiet at the moment, and everyone was waiting for Qu Duan to continue.

There was a huge map of the north hanging on the wall in front, and Qu Duan came to the map at this moment.

"We decided to divide our troops into three groups! Among them, the Datong Military Region has 220,000 soldiers and horses. These 220,000 soldiers and horses will go out of Yunnei Prefecture, go all the way north into Mayu Mountain, and attack Enzhou by detour from Mayu Mountain! Yue Fei The general sent more than a dozen waves of thousands of soldiers last year and this year to investigate Mayu Mountain, and they have thoroughly investigated the road to Mayu Mountain, and there will be no accidents in the past!" Qu Duan pointed at the huge arrow to the west. .

When fighting against Jin Wushu in the grassland, Yue Fei once led an army across Mount Mayu. The environment of Mount Mayu was extremely difficult, and the army paid a huge price at that time! But this time, the Datong Military Region has thoroughly investigated the road there, and it is much easier to cross Mayu Mountain this time!

"The 220,000 troops of the Datong Military Region entered the north of Dading Mansion in Zhongjing from the west road, and General Li Xianzhong led 170,000 troops out of Juyongguan, crossed Jiugongling, attacked Bei'an Prefecture, Zezhou, and then Yuzhou! This is the army in the middle!"

"The 150,000 troops of the Liaodong Military Region came out of Shanhaiguan, went all the way north, and attacked Tanzhou, and then went down from Tanzhou to attack Lizhou! This is the Eastern Route Army!"

"In this way, we have encircled Zhongjing Dading Mansion from the north and south respectively! Zhongjing Dading Mansion only has a 100,000 Jurchen army led by the fourth prince of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Wushu, and it is definitely not our opponent! After encircling Zhongjing, we will encircle without fighting, and wait for the Khitan army of Yelu Dashi and the Mongols of Hebul Khan to go south!"

"The intelligence department has been paying attention to the news of Yelu Dashi and the Mongols for these years! After the fall of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Dashi went to an extremely remote place in the northwest. He originally had 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers and horses, and then he sent more than ten Khitans in the north The tribes have been integrated together, and now the number of Khitan troops under him has exceeded 100,000! Moreover, after the fall of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Dashi tried his best to restore the Liao Kingdom, so the current Khitan army is extremely powerful. Thousands of people, but it is not easy to deal with! As for the Mongolian Hebul Khan, this man is a hero among the Mongolians. He has unified more than a hundred Mongolian tribes. !Of course, the Mongols fought separately from each tribe without a unified command. Although the fighting power was very strong, we didn't take it to heart!" Qu Duan said.

The Mongols have existed for hundreds of years, but until the emergence of Genghis Khan, the Mongols were nothing to worry about! Both the Khitan and the Jurchens once restricted the development of the Mongols. The Khitans did not allow any iron tools to enter the Mongolian grasslands in the north, while the Jurchens entered the Mongolian grasslands every few years. Will cut off their thumbs and make them unable to use bows for life! In addition, the Mongols themselves have constant internal strife and many tribes, so it is difficult to pose a threat to the southern countries! Now this Hebul Khan is the Great Khan of Mongolia in name, but in fact there are too many tribes under him, and many of them are obedient and obedient! Therefore, Qu Duan paid more attention to the Khitans, but not to the Mongols.

"There may be two situations for the Khitan and Mongol armies to go south. One is that the troops are divided into two groups and go south separately! The Khitan people must have traveled south from Shangjing, passing Fengzhou and Raozhou. After we surround Zhongjing, we can send a large army to go north. Intercept them here! The Mongols may also go south from Fengzhou and Raozhou, but they may also pass through Liaodong and detour from the Liaodong area! Therefore, our army needs to do a good job of reconnaissance! Once they enter the north, at least thousands of people will be dispatched Even a scouting team of tens of thousands will not let any news from the north be missed!" Qu Duan said.

"Of course, there is another situation. The Khitan and Mongols have been staying in Shangjing. They hope that we and the Jurchens will lose both! But our army is far superior to the Jurchen. If this is the case, the Khitan and Mongols are too confused. We After destroying Zhongjing, we can slowly go north to eliminate them!" Qu Duan said.

After Qu Duan finished the overall battle plan, everyone discussed below, and then someone raised different detailed questions, and Qu Duan answered them one by one.

"There are 100,000 resentment troops in the north, and they are subordinates of Guo Yaoshi. They are stationed in Yuzhou! Although General Li Xianzhong has an army of 170,000, our army must be stronger than the resentment army, but the 170,000 army may not be able to completely Annihilating the Resentment Army, if the Resentment Army flees Yuzhou and enters Zhongjing, then Zhongjing's defense force will reach 200,000, and we may encounter difficulties in conquering Zhongjing!" Hu Quan stood up and said.

The resentful army is a special army in the Liao, Song and Jin Dynasties! Originally, this army was formed by Liao people to deal with Jurchen! But when the Liao Kingdom was about to perish, Guo Yaoshi led the resentful army to defect to Song Dynasty! When the Kingdom of Jin went south, Yaoshi Guo took the resentment army and defected to the Kingdom of Jin! Guo Yaoshi is a famous "Famous General of the Three Dynasties" in history, while the Resent Army has limited record in history and has hardly participated in many wars! As for the combat effectiveness of the resentful army, the Song army can only rely on estimates! Although everyone felt that the 170,000 troops of the Yanyun Military Region could wipe out the 100,000 resentful troops, many ministers were still worried.

"To the north of Yuzhou is Luming Mountain. Yanyun Military Region has 50,000 cavalry, and General Liu Kai also has 40,000 cavalry. Before attacking Yuzhou, the cavalry of Yanyun Military Region and Liaodong Military Region joined forces to block all of Luming Mountain. Afterwards, General Li Xianzhong led the army to besiege the city! If possible, the infantry of the Liaodong Military Region would also participate in the Battle of Yuzhou! If we cannot wipe out Guo Yaoshi’s resentful army with the strength of the two major military regions, it would be too shameful !” Qu Duan laughed.

"Wanyan Zonghan still has 100,000 elite cavalry in the area of ​​Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo. Although Liaodong is in chaos now, no one can guarantee whether Wanyan Zonghan will go west to help Zhongjing! If Wanyan Zonghan's 100,000 elite cavalry go west, what will our battle plan be?" It will be completely disrupted!" Wang Shu stood up and said.

"The possibility of Wanyan Zonghan going west is very small! Now the rebel army in Liaodong is huge, and more than a million Khitans in Liaodong may rise up to rebel! Liaodong is the birthplace of the Jurchens. The Jurchen emperors and the families of the Jurchen army are all in Liaodong , Under such circumstances, it is impossible for him to go west! Of course, we have to take precautions. When the war begins, two generals Wu Jie and Wu Lin will lead a 100,000 navy to officially land and fight. They will first occupy Jinzhou, and then Go to the north to occupy Xingzhong Prefecture, and then attack Wu'an Prefecture, completely cutting off the road from Liaodong to Zhongjing! The 100,000 navy is mainly defensive. Although Wanyan Zonghan still has 100,000 elite cavalry, it may not be able to break through the cities occupied by the navy. !” Qu Duan said.

"How to solve the logistics problem?" Li Chuwen asked.

"We now have enough grain reserves, and almost all of this year's grain tax has been shipped to the major military regions! In addition, we mobilized 300,000 militiamen from the Production and Construction Corps to take on the task of transporting grain and grass! These 300,000 militiamen also often train on weekdays , when necessary, they can even participate in the war as an army!" Qu Duan said.

Questions are constantly being asked below, and Qu Duan is constantly answering them!

In fact, the Northern Expedition plan of the General Staff Headquarters is extremely detailed, and now I am only worried that there are still loopholes, so I summoned all the ministers of the DPRK and China, hoping to learn from everyone's strengths and see if there are any omissions!

It took an hour for the discussion to stop, and the room fell silent.

Qu Duan came down from above, and Zhao Chen walked up.

"After regaining the Central Plains and Yanyun last year, in order to restore the economy of the Central Plains and Yanyun, the army temporarily stopped fighting! After a year, the economy of Yanyun and the Central Plains has not yet recovered, but the people here can still eat. Yes, their families also have food for the winter, and the imperial court is preparing for the Northern Expedition! Almost all of our annual taxes in Guanshan, Hanzhong, Sichuan, and Jiangnan are spent on the Northern Expedition. Datong Military Region, Yanyun Military Region, and Liaodong Military Region , the navy, and 300,000 militiamen, we have mobilized more than a million troops! Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, we have hardly mobilized so many troops! It can be said that this time is a battle for the country, and there is no room for loss! Countless elites of the Intelligence Department have been lurking in Liaodong for many years, and now they all join the Liaodong Rebel Army and participate in the rebellion of the Liaodong Rebel Army! All the power of the country has been used in this battle! The generals in this battle should go forward bravely and not tolerate individuals Life! In order to fulfill the military order, we must spare no expense! I will also personally conquer again and completely eradicate the cancer in the north! This battle must be won!" Zhao Chen said.

"This battle must be won!" Everyone below stood up with an unusually firm voice!

"The total population of the Jurchens is not even one million. It is really overkill for us to use millions of soldiers to destroy the gold! But the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, let alone destroying the country! It's getting late, everyone, go to bed early! Lead all the civil and military ministers to sacrifice to the sky at the Temple of Heaven, swear to cut gold, and tell the world!" Zhao Chen said.
