It has already arrived on the New Year's Eve of the eighth year of Xuanwu, and tomorrow is the ninth year of Xuanwu!

In Liaodong, it is also a snowy weather here. Countless Khitans in Liaodong celebrate New Year's Eve at home! More than 200 years since the founding of the Liao Kingdom, the Khitans have long learned the customs and habits of the Han people. New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival are also important festivals for the Khitans.

On this day, hundreds of miles west of Liaoyang Prefecture, a cavalry of more than 20,000 people were moving forward in the snow.

All the cavalry were one man, two horses or three horses. They were facing the whistling cold wind, and countless soldiers were numb from the cold.

"We have been walking for three days and three nights, and we will be able to get to Yinzhou City in two days!" A young general in the team said.

"The enemy's command is in Yinzhou. After we take Yinzhou, we can win this exercise! There were three exercises this winter, and we have failed two of them. We must win this time!" another young general led the way.

They are conducting military exercises!

Three days ago, they set out from the military camp north of Jinzhou, and until now, for three days and three nights, this army did not stop at all! They had been traveling for a long distance, and when the horses were tired, they changed their horses and rode. In some places, the terrain was complicated, and they pulled the horses forward! Almost all the soldiers were extremely tired, but victory was right in front of them. They could not let the enemy be wary of the slightest, and they still had to rush forward as quickly as possible.

"After I arrive in Yinzhou, I will lead 10,000 troops to the north of Yinzhou. If you lead people to assault from the south, we will surround both sides and must take down the enemy's command!" said the young general who spoke before.

"Okay!" The general behind nodded.

"Today is New Year's Eve!" said the young general who spoke before.

"Yes! We can't stop on New Year's Eve." said the general behind.

"We men, if we live in the world, we must make achievements! Although this exercise is not a real war, it is also the glory of you and me if we can win!" the young general smiled.

The general behind also laughed.

The surroundings were dark and cold, only the howling north, the sound of horse hooves echoed in their ears, and the two of them were trembling in cold, but there was a hint of firm expression on their faces.

"If it is winter to attack Goryeo, it may be more difficult than now! From Liaodong to Goryeo, there were many mountains during the period, and we needed to cross those mountains! And now, we are all moving on the plains!" said the young general.

"Yes! I don't know when we will attack Goryeo? I'm really unhappy to watch Goryeo people arrogant in front of us this year." The general behind said.

"It should be soon! Your Majesty said that he would attack Goryeo within two or three years. Before he knew it, it had been a year! It is very likely that we will attack Goryeo this year." The young general said.

"I've really suffocated this year," said the general behind.

The two laughed together again!

The two of them are neither others, but Yue Yun and Liang Hao, who are under Yue Fei.

They led this army to move forward from night to dawn. The ninth year of Xuanwu had arrived, and they were still trekking on the snowy field.

*******

At this moment, in Liaoyang Prefecture, Tokyo, there are still 10,000 Song troops stationed here.

The ten thousand Song troops did not participate in the winter exercise. This was the center of Liaodong. They still had to guard against the sudden attack by the Goryeo people.

Although there were only 10,000 people, they did not have any fear. Over the past year, they had seen the strength of the Goryeo people on the opposite side! Their strength was too weak, much worse than the Jurchen army and the Xixia army. These 10,000 people were enough to deal with any sudden attack outside Liaoyang Prefecture.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was also a festive atmosphere in Liaoyang Prefecture. There were originally many residents here, and these residents were walking around the streets.

The south of the Liao Dynasty Imperial Palace in Liaoyang Prefecture is located, which is the location of Yue Fei’s military headquarters and the official office where Yu Yunwen governed Liaodong.

Yue Fei went to inspect the military camp in the morning, and at this moment he braved the heavy snow to the military headquarters.

"Are General Wu coming?" After entering the military headquarters, Yue Fei said.

"General Wu and Lord Yu have already arrived, just wait for you, General Wu." said a captain from the military headquarters.

Yue Fei nodded and strides inside.

After entering the innermost room of the military headquarters, Wu Jie and Yu Yunwen were already sitting there, and the chiefs of various departments of the military headquarters were also sitting there.

This is a small conference room. In front of the conference room is a map of Liaodong and Goryeo. After Yue Fei entered it, everyone stood up.

"General Yue, long time no see you." Wu Jie bowed and said with a smile.

"It's been a long time since we disappeared! I thought General Wu, you can't come today." Yue Fei also laughed and said.

"If we want to discuss the military use of Goryeo, I naturally can't waste my time." Wu Jie said.

Everyone sat down together, only Yue Fei stood in front of him.

"It took us only a year to stabilize the situation in Liaodong. The General Staff Office ordered us to be prepared to advance east at any time, so we will gather you here and discuss it carefully! General Wu, what is the situation in the navy now?" Yue Fei said.

"Now our navy has three major bases, one is Tianjin Wei, one is Dengzhou, and the other is Lion's mouth! In addition, the navy has recruited another 20,000 soldiers this year, and the total navy's strength has reached 120,000! Our warships have exceeded 3,000! The army soldiers are training every day. Now after the weather is cold, some soldiers even go south to train in the southern waters! The soldiers are preparing for the Battle of Goryeo! When the weather gets warmer, the floating ice on the sea melts, and we can enter Goryeo at any time!" Wu Jie said.

Shizikou was the location of later "Lushun". Although the Goryeo people had occupied a large piece of land on the Liaodong Peninsula, Shizikou, the southernmost part of the Liaodong Peninsula, has been under naval occupation.

"If the war really happens, the navy will fight across the sea and raid the capital of Goryeo!" Yue Fei said.

Wu Jie nodded.

"If you can defeat the King of Goryeo in one fell swoop, it will be extremely beneficial to the Battle of Goryeo! Therefore, the navy must ensure that the King of Goryeo is not allowed to escape." Yue Fei said.

"Last summer and autumn, our navy conducted several landing exercises! If the Battle of Goryeo began, we would surround Koryeo from three directions! One third of the troops first attacked Jianghua Island, and then suddenly appeared west of Kaijing! One third of the troops landed from Haizhou, took down Jinchuan as quickly as possible, blocking the northern road of Kaijing! The other third of the troops landed from Renzhou and blocking the road south of Kaijing! The navy would also send people to block the Han River completely to prevent the Goryeo from escaping from the Han River! There was absolutely no possibility of the Goryeo people escaping from such a few sieges." Wu Jie said.

"If you take Kaijing, you must go north immediately and take Pyongyang!" Yue Fei said again.

Kaijing and Pyongyang are the two most important cities in Goryeo! Kaijing is the capital of Goryeo and Pyongyang is the capital of Goryeo. There are many Goryeo royal families in these two places. If these two cities are taken down, the Goryeo royal family can be captured in one place.

"There is no problem to take down these two cities!" Wu Jie said.

"The command system in the Goryeo Army is in chaos. If the Battle of Goryeo occurs, our cavalry will also raid Baozhou and first take down the commander of Goryeo Cui Zhuo! At that time, there are many generals in the Goryeo army in Liaodong and they are dissatisfied with each other. They will return to Goryeo to rescue the Goryeo King. The army of you and our army can easily encircle them!" Yue Fei said.

"If the Goryeo people guarded the Great Wall of Thousand Miles and the army did not enter it as soon as possible, our navy alone might be a bit dangerous." Wu Jie said.

"Our army has prepared two thousand stone throwers! In the face of such a force, the Great Wall can be blasted away! At that time, your navy can send an army to attack from the south, which will be even more foolproof!" Yue Fei said.

"Mr. Yu, you still need your help in the logistics." Wu Jie said.

"Although don't worry, there are still more than 100,000 militias in the Liaodong area, and these militias naturally have to participate in this battle!" Yu Yunwen said.

*******

The main generals of the Song army discussed the attack on Goryeo in Liaoyang. In the area of ​​Baozhou on the Yalu River, which is later in Dandong, a Goryeo general in his forties was standing on the wall of Baozhou.

There is no other Korean man on this city wall except him. The weather is so cold, and the rest of Korean soldiers have long returned to the city! In such weather, no one can let those Korean soldiers come out.

This Goryeo general was wearing very gorgeous Goryeo costumes and a bright sword on his waist.

He looks very handsome and elegant, as if he is a literati, not a general!

He is Goryeo's coach Cui Zhuo! He killed Goryeo's treacherous Goryeo minister Li Ziqian and supported Goryeo King Wang Kai ascended the throne!

Now he controls all the Goryeo army, but in fact he has never commanded a battle! He claims to be a Confucian general and believes that the real general should plan behind the scenes and should not go to the front line! He is deeply trusted by Wang Kai because of his superb political means, and no one in the entire army dares to oppose him.

There was footsteps behind, and two people wearing civil servants' costumes walked up to the city wall.

Both civil servants frowned. The wind and snow were too strong, and they could not bear it.

"Mr. Cui, why are you here?" said a civil servant in his sixties.

"Wearing the wind here can make me more sober and let me see the previous truth clearly!" Cui Zhuo turned around and smiled elegantly.

"It's so cold here!" said the civil servant.

"Only in such a difficult environment can a strong clan like the Jurchens be born! The main reason why I, Goryeo, is not strong enough is that we live too peacefully! Now that we have obtained Liaodong, we naturally have to be trained in the ice and snow like the Khitan and Jurchens!" Cui Zhuo said.

"Sir, what he said is right!" said a civil servant in his thirties behind.

"But our army has been lazy for a long time. It is too difficult for them to train in the snow and ice, and the soldiers do not agree! It takes time to completely transform the army! The Song army on the opposite side is different from us. Even if it is like this, they are still training every day! They are too strong, and we are indeed not their opponents now! Lord An, Lord Li, this time you go to Yanjing City, you must let the Song people agree to sign the contract. Only then can I train with peace of mind!" Cui Zhuo said.

It turns out that the two literati behind are An Putin and Li Rui!

"Don't worry, Lord Cui, we will ask the Song people to agree to sign the contract. In fact, the dispute between civil and military officials in the Song Dynasty was very fierce, and civil officials were very dissatisfied with the military generals. This time we went there, signing the contract would not be a problem." An Putin said.

"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. You stayed in Baozhou City for a while. When it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after the heavy snow stopped, you will go to Yanjing again." Cui Zhuo said.

"This is not possible! We must get the Song people to sign the contract as soon as possible so that we can feel at ease! General Cui, we are here to say goodbye to you. Today we are going to Yanjing!" An Putin said.

"If I, the Goryeo, are like two, occupying the Central Plains will not be a problem!" Cui Zhuo sighed.
Chapter completed!
