On the fourteenth day and night, Hu Lie Mansion.

The commanders of the various army who were ordered to arrive in Datong gathered in the office.

Brother Huo Liu stood in front of the huge map and introduced the current situation to everyone. He is now in charge of the Hu Lie Mansion and has great power. Luo Qinghan and Chai Yun were on missions, and Huang He went to Bianjing. Of course, he was in charge of the Hu Lie Mansion.

The group of military commanders below looked at him and felt that this person was too smart. When Li Hu transferred him and Li Jin to the coach's mansion, he went there without saying a word and handed over the Shenlong Army to Dugu Feng, without any hesitation. Many people thought he was afraid of death and worried that he would be killed by Li Hu. Li Jin was not afraid of Li Hu. He found an opportunity to go back to command the army. Now when he looked again, Lao Hu had foresight. Not only did he gain Li Hu's trust and became the confidant, but he also took charge of the power of the royal family and became the center of the rebel army. Compared with being the commander of the first army, one in the sky and the other in the underground, and he used his power to take care of the Shenlong Army better. He did do this. The Shenlong Army now has a backer, is confident, and is breathless when he speaks.

Zhang Gao'er, Li Jin, Dong Zhongsun, Ying Qin and other well-knowing old guys sat down and looked at him with their eyes slanted, feeling so angry that they didn't feel comfortable. Shiniang, why is this kid so smart? He has taken all the good things by himself.

Brother Huo Liu was in a very dull and depressed mood, and his speech was bitter. The people below saw him very glorious, jealous of him, and were sarcastic, but once they also sat in this position and tasted great, they would rather be military commanders below than sit in this position and "baked in fire". This work is not a job that people do. The responsibility is too great, and a slight mistake will lead to a disaster. Brother Huo Liu was walking on thin ice, working hard, busy all day long, and even sleeping for an hour was very luxurious.

Huo Liuge told the news of the failure of the Song army's Northern Expedition. The convention hall was in an uproar. The military commanders could not believe that the Song army would defeat the war? The Song army was very strong in their minds, and the opponent was so weak. Will such a war be defeated?

"I don't think this kind of thing is surprising. There are many cases of fighting against the strong with the weak. The reason why the Song army was defeated was that it was underestimating the enemy." Huo Liuge said lightly and indifferently, "When the Song army rectified its army and launched a second attack, the Khitans would not have such good luck. But..." Huo Liuge changed his tone, "The failure of the Song army's attack led to a major change in the situation."

Brother Huo Liu then gave a detailed explanation of the coach's mansion's speculation on the future situation.

"So, we have to fight the Jurchens in Datong and we will launch an attack soon."

Decisive battle? These two are easy to say, but is it possible? In order to resist the Jin army, Li Hu and the rebels had to defect to the Song Dynasty and ask for help from the Song Dynasty. Now the Jin army stopped attacking. The rebels took advantage of the power of the Song Dynasty and pretended to be powerful, which temporarily saved Datong. But if they wanted to defeat the Jin army, it was obviously unrealistic. With the current strength of the rebels, how could they fight the Jurchens to the decisive battle?

The following group of generals immediately questioned Brother Huo Liu. Brother Huo Liu was calm and clicked on the map. The Song Dynasty was our biggest supporter. Yanjing was dependent on us. The Dai Bei Liao army and the Daxia people had to join forces with us to fight back under the powerful offensive of the Jin army.

After saying this, everyone thought that Brother Huo Liu was talking nonsense and was lying. The Song Dynasty, Yanjing, Dai Bei Liao army and Daxia people all joined forces with us. They all beat the Jurchens. How could such a good thing besides the world? Who do you think you are? Which of these forces does not want to occupy Datong? Which one has no interest needs? Even if they are willing to help, they will not help in vain. They want to repay. So what is the reward for them? You won’t betray all Datong and us, right?

Brother Huo Liu was embarrassed by the repeated questioning of these people. He tried his best to explain, but the more he explained, the more chaotic it became. The commanders of the various army became more suspicious.

"I'll explain it to everyone." Li Hu stood up and walked to the front of the map.

The room immediately became quiet.

Brother Huo Liu sighed and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was very angry. You birds don’t give me face. You intentionally embarrass me, right? OK. Let’s take a look. His eyes swept across the faces of Dong Zhongsun, Zhang Gao'er, Li Jin and others. Seeing their contemptuous and sarcastic eyes, Brother Huo Liu was even more angry and gritted his teeth. Li Hu stood in front of the map without being angry and was powerful. Below was silent. Li Hu briefly explained the many efforts made by the General Mansion recently. He should say it and should not say it. Li Hu didn’t reveal any words.

"The Liaoxia coalition of Yelu Mage and Li Liangfu has arrived at Motianling and can be put into the battlefield at any time."

"Yanjing has made a promise. Yelu Dashi led his army to station in Juyongguan. Once he received a request for help from Yehuling, he would go north to support him quickly."

"Li Gang has reached an aid plan with the Four Divisions of Hedong Road. In the near future, Hedong Road will transport food, grass weapons and various materials to Datong. These materials are enough for a hundred thousand troops to fight continuously for half a month. With this batch of materials, coupled with the assistance from Yanjing and the remaining storage of the Datong treasury, it is enough for us to fight continuously for about twenty days."

"The second general of the Imperial Army on Hedong Road, the third general Cao's army, the seventh general Murong Xiahan's army, and the ninth general Yangling's army are gathering at the Yanmen Pass and Ningwu Pass. According to the time, they have already been in place and can go north to Datong for support at any time."

"The General's Mansion has increased its recruitment efforts for a month. Now nearly 50,000 new recruits are being trained in Baidengshan Camp. Geng Shouzhong's Yisheng Army has been expanded to four generals and 10,000. This 10,000 people are currently stationed in the Hukong Fort and can be put into the Hukong Battlefield at any time. Fifty thousand new recruits can replenish injuries at any time to ensure that all troops are fully engaged in combat."

"The General's Office recruited about 300,000 people, of which 100,000 grain-shooting troops will transport food, grass and weapons to the front line to ensure the military supplies of each army."

Li Hu looked at the military commander in the hall and smiled and said, "Many things seem to be in a desperate situation, but as long as you don't give up and just grit your teeth and persevere, you will be able to survive. Now, let's see if we have the strength to fight to the decisive battle?"

The confidence of a group of generals came again, and everyone talked and said something, and they were full of momentum to defeat the Jin army in ashes while talking and laughing.

Dong Xiaochou deploys specific attack strategies.

There are three battlefields in the Battle of Datong. The main battlefield is Zhenchuan Fort, and the two wing battlefields are Khahukou and Yehuling.

The Zhenchuan Fort battlefield was a decisive battle, fighting with the Jin army, forcing the Jin army to seek breakthroughs from the two wings of the Killhukou and Yehu Ridge. The Killhukou was about two hundred miles away from the Zhenchuan Fort battlefield, and the two battlefields could support each other. Therefore, the General's Office judged that the Jin army had the greatest possibility of attacking the Killhukou with a partial division.

However, attacking Yehu Ridge and occupying Juyong Pass can not only destroy the Datong defense line, but also threaten Yanjing, which is more strategically valuable. From this point of view, the Jin army may also break through Yehu Ridge. Yehu Ridge is more than 400 miles away from Zhenchuan Fort, and the battlefield is too far away, so the Jin army may lose sight of one thing, but what is troublesome is that if the Jin army increases troops from Zhongjing to support and attack Yehu Ridge with all its strength, the entire battle situation will be controlled by the Jurchens.

"According to our estimates, the total strength of the Jin army is about 300,000, including the Liao army captured by the Jin army from the Texas battlefield and the Yunnei battlefield."

Dong Xiaochou pointed his hand at Yehuling and Yuanyanglu on the map. "There should be 40,000 to 50,000 troops in the Jin army camp of Yuanyanglu. They must maintain a threat to Yehuling. If there is less force, the Jin army on the Yunnei battlefield should still have tens of thousands of people, because the main force of the Xia army is eyeing the west bank of the Yellow River. Unless the Jin army voluntarily abandoned Yunnei, these tens of thousands of troops will not be able to retreat."

"In this way, the Jin army deployed about 200,000 troops on the Yinmahe and Zhenchuan Fort."

"After considering it in detail, the General's Office decided to place the six Hulie troops, Heishan Army, Feiyun Army, Bohai Army, Shenlong Army, Thunder Army, Wu Yong Army, and Yunshuo Army in Zhenchuan Fort, gathering about 130,000 horse and infantry troops and the main forces of the Jin army to fight to the decisive battle." Dong Xiaochou pointed to the commander of the Feiyun Army Hou and said, "Yunshuo, Yelu Dashi will arrive at Juyong Pass in the near future. If you meet him and discuss the assistance matters in detail, you will immediately lead the army to the Cailiang Mountain line and launch an attack on the Jin army from the southeast of the Zhenchuan Fort."

"You can transfer Feiyun's main force first." Hou Kuai said, "I will take two generals to stay outside Juyong Pass for the time being waiting for Yelu Dashi. The main force of Feiyun's army uses horses to travel, and you can reach the Datong battlefield within four days."

"Don't worry, keep the threat to Yanjing first to prevent accidents." Dong Xiaochou shook his hand, "When Yelu Dashi arrives at Juyongguan, he will cover your retreat, so that he can ensure that everything is safe."

Dong Xiaochou turned around and looked at the map and continued, "The Hell Army and the Yisheng Army were stationed in Killing Hukou. When the Jin army rushed over, Yelu Mage and Li Liangfu led 30,000 Liaoxia coalition forces to launch a surprise attack from the two wings and behind the Jin army, striving to kill the fatal blow. On this battlefield, the Hell Army and the Yisheng Army had only 30,000 people, plus the 30,000 Liaoxia coalition forces, a total of only 60,000 people, and the strength was far from enough. Therefore, when the fierce battle of Killing Hukou broke out, we immediately drew troops from the Zhenchuan Fort battlefield to support it."

"Shuai Dong, is it time to go? There are about two hundred miles from Khahukou to Zhenchuan Fort. I am afraid that the Jin army will break through before the reinforcements arrive." Hu Jiayong asked worriedly, "The reinforcements of the Song Dynasty are on the front line of Yanmen Pass and Ningwu Pass. Why can't they be transferred into the battlefield?"

Dong Xiaohou hesitated for a moment and looked at Li Hu.

"I'm thinking of a solution," said Li Hu. "Tong Taishi is Hedong and Hebei Xuanfu Envoy, who is in charge of the military and political affairs of the two routes. If Taishi Tong can get the authorization of the court and can call the Hedong Imperial Army in an emergency, then these 30,000 Imperial Army can enter the battlefield."

Hu Jiayong didn't speak anymore. Since Li Hu spoke very confidently, he should be very sure.
