In the tent of Ji Kang of the Liao army, General Rong Fran was still preaching to Ji Kang and others: "June, sir, judging from the deployment of the Ji Kingdom army and the construction of many fortifications, his army will not fight against our army in the field, so the more than 50,000 cavalry of our western army cannot play the advantage of rapid raids."

"If there are more than 60,000 cavalry in the east, you can send a partial division to fully utilize the mobility of our cavalry, avoid the enemy's defense line to the east, and go around from Guyi and other places to the enemy's rear, and cut off the enemy's retreat in the east."

"The enemy's western defense line depends on hundreds of catapults in our army, and the fortresses built by the enemy are nothing. But surely, if you attack for a strong force, it will definitely be a bloody battle."

"According to General Liu Sheng's strategy, if you attack these fortresses, even if you break through, the enemy will slowly retreat into the second line of defense and continue to fight with our army. Our army can defeat the enemy, but cannot completely wipe out the enemy, and the war will continue to be delayed. In this way, it will hit the enemy's thoughts and form a tug-of-war with our army and a protracted war."

"According to General Wang Shi's plan, our army used the navy to directly attack the capital of Ji Kingdom along the Nanba Shui River, but there were many cities along the Nanba Shui River. Our army's military operation was no secret, and it would inevitably face the enemy's north-south attack. If there was any mistake, the consequences of our army's southern route would be unimaginable."

Hearing this, Ji Kang looked at the two generals Wang Shi and Liu Sheng, and found that they also nodded frequently.

Ji Kang pondered for a while and said to Rongfu: "General Rongfu, since these two strategies have flaws, what is the ultimate strategy our army adopts? How should we do it in detail?"

Rong Fen turned around and bowed to Ji Kang and said, "June, a general has thought for a long time. Although these two strategies have flaws, they are both desirable. In order to win the battle as soon as possible and achieve the strategic purpose of our Liao army this time, a general thinks that these two strategies can be chosen as one of the overall strategy of our Liao army."

Ji Kang was stunned and said to Rongfu in surprise: "Oh, General Rongfu, then you should come on!"

Rong Fen pointed to the map and said to everyone: "June, the enemy does not know the ability of our navy to raid behind the enemy now. If we follow General Wang Shi's suggestion, we plan to lead our army on a boat and prepare to occupy Jidu directly. The journey is long and the risk is too great."

"In this way, the enemy will have enough time to withdraw the army in front. The final result is no different from General Liu Sheng's plan. However, our navy can raid the enemy's rear, and this is a real advantage."

"The Navy has discovered that it takes only half a day to take a boat from Fanhan to Huajinli. With the merchant ships I recruited, I can carry 40,000 of our troops at one time, plus 15,000 Shanghai soldiers, a total of more than 50,000 people, and can attack Shun'an and other places."

Speaking of this, Rong Feng looked at Ji Kang and others, clicked on the map, Pingcheng, on the east side of Shun'an City, and his tone couldn't help but increase, and he said slowly: "The most important thing is that according to our information, the main grain and grass base of the Ji Army in the west is located in Pingcheng in the north of Jidu."

Ji Kang and others were very surprised when they heard Rong Qi say this, so they focused their attention on Pingcheng and began to think about it.

Rong Fen continued: "Our army first carried soldiers from Fanhan according to General Wang Shi's plan, calculated the time, occupied Huajinli when it was dark, and then blocked them. Then let the navy and the requisitioned merchant ships return to Fanhan, and then carried more than 50,000 soldiers to Fanhan."

"The military strength will reach 100,000. Such a 100,000 army, not to mention whether it can occupy Shun'an and other places, just appearing behind the enemy's army will be enough to panic in the Ji Kingdom."

"If we can raid and occupy Shun'an, Pingcheng, and even Baiyuanli in the east, our army will be completely cut off, the enemy's front and Jidu, and the main force of the enemy's front will be cut off."

"Once it goes well, there will be no suspense in this battle. The main force of the enemy will be surrounded by our Liao army in Suchuan and Shunchuan area, and the battle will end soon. From then on, the entire Ji Kingdom and the southern vassal states will no longer have the strength to fight against our Liao army. Our Liao territory will soon end the war and occupy the entire northern and southern territory of Ji Kingdom."

"Our western front-line army must cooperate closely with the army heading to the rear of Ji Kingdom. At this time, we can launch a strong attack on the enemy's army. Whether the enemy can be wiped out completely, a great victory is possible. This is the plan and strategic plan of a certain general. Please ask the Lord to make a clarification."

In the military conference hall of Tokugawa, Gao Min finally said to the generals of Ji State: "Generals, this battle is related to the life and death of our Ji State, and also to the vital interests of everyone here. I hope that all the generals of our Ji State will work together to block the Liao army so as to achieve this battle and the victory of our Ji State."

"If anyone who neglects his duties, does not fight well, and does not obey orders, he will strictly follow the military law. If everyone goes down, make preparations. We must continue to strengthen the fortifications and coordinate with each other."

Many generals from Ji Kingdom bowed to Gaomin and said, "Promise."

After hearing Rong Fen's words, Ji Kang stood up and came to the map. After looking for a long time, he turned around and said to Lu Zhonglian, Wang Shi, and Liu Sheng, "Director Lu, two generals, what suggestions do you have for General Rong Fen's strategy?"

The old dean of Lu Zhonglian stood up and said to everyone: "I don't know the military affairs, but from the point of view of the strategy, this plan is very wonderful!"

General Wang Shi and Liu Sheng stood up together, bowed to Ji Kang and said, "We agree with General Rong's plan."

Ji Kang nodded, looked at everyone, clicked on the map, and said to Lu Zhonglian, Rongfu and others: "Since that's the case, let Rongfu implement the strategy plan this time! Wait until you continue, let Navy Colonel Li Min and Zhang Tian arrive as soon as possible. Then carefully consider this strategy, pay attention to all details and never relax."

Lu Zhonglian, Rong Qi and others bowed to Ji Kang and said, "No."

After the three generals Rong, Wang Shi and Liu Sheng left, Ji Kang said to Lu Zhonglian: "Sir, whether we can complete the annexation of Ji Kingdom and complete the last puzzle of the Northeast region is related to our Liao Dynasty's future Central Plains strategy..."

Speaking of this, he paused and said softly: "It depends on this battle!"

After hearing Ji Kang's words, Lu Zhonglian knew what Ji Kang was thinking, nodded and said to Ji Kang: "Young Master, this expedition to Ji Kingdom is indeed related to the overall situation in our Liao Dynasty in the future. But you don't have to worry. Our Liao Dynasty is well-equipped and weapons, the generals have also experienced the battlefield, and the soldiers are well-trained. This time, we will be able to fulfill what the young master thinks."

After hearing the words of the old dean Lu Zhonglian, Ji Kang looked outside the tent and vaguely heard the assembly of the Liao army in the distance.

Just as the commander of the Liao and Ji army was planning their respective strategies on the front line, he also received secret envoys sent by Zhao Guofubao, Wang Rong and Su She in his study at Yan Xiangsu's belly in Jidu.

After reading the letter from Wu Yuan ordered Fu Bao and the other three, Su Fu was overjoyed and put down the silk and said to the secret envoy: "The three generals including Fu Bao and the other one are ready to surrender to our Yan State, is this true heart?"

The secret envoy bowed and said, "Please rest assured, the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister, now the King of Zhao ignored the three generals including Fu Bao. And he ignored the three generals, and the great contributions he made to Zhao State have completely damaged the hearts of the three generals. Therefore, the three generals of my family surrendered to Yan State, and they sincerely hope that the Prime Minister will grant it."

After hearing the secret envoy's words, Su Fu pondered for a moment and said to the secret envoy: "You stay here first, and I will give you a reply after I discuss with the prince."

"promise."

Immediately, Su Fu took a car to Ji Palace, met Ji Kang's father, and reported the matter to the prince.

Ji Kang's father frowned slightly after hearing this. After thinking for a while, he said to Su: "Su Xiang, although the Zhao State was defeated in the Battle of Changping of Qin and Zhao State, the Zhao army stationed in Dai County and the southern border of our Yanzhao is still very powerful. If our Yan State agreed to the surrender of Wuyuan and the three others, would it cause disputes and even wars between the two countries?"

Su Fu smiled and said to Ji Kang's father: "Your Highness, the State of Zhao has always been eyeing our State of Yan. He has occupied many cities in our State of Yan, but has not returned yet. In any case, the State of Zhao has always regarded our State of Yan as the object in his pocket and wants to take it."

"If Your Highness said, the national strength of Zhao State has been greatly damaged after the Battle of Changping, and its national strength is empty. Now Wu Yuan ordered Fu Bao and three others to take the initiative to offer the city to our Yan State and lead three thousand troops to submit to me. This is a great opportunity for our Yan State and should not be missed."

Speaking of this, Su Fu continued to say to Ji Kang's father: "Your Highness, even if Zhao State is suing him, our Yan State can also tell Zhao State that this is the private claim between Fu Bao and the other three, what does it have to do with our Yan State?"

After hearing Su Fu's words, Ji Kang's father nodded and said to Su Fu: "Prime Minister, since that's the case, you can do this specifically! You must handle it well."

Seeing that the prince agreed to this matter, Yan Xiangxiu bowed to the prince and said, "Promise."

Then, he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and began to secretly discuss and plan the surrender of Fu Bao, Wang Rong, Su She and others with the envoy sent by Wu Yuan.
