"This is Beihaier Lake!" In the military camp, Zhao Chen, Qu Duan, Li Xianzhong and others were together. At this moment, Qu Duan pointed to the map and said.

Lake Beihaier is the Lake Baikal in later generations, and this era was called Lake Beihaier!

"Every autumn, a large number of Mongolians gather here! Many tribes perform autumn sacrifices here, thank you for the blessing of the God of Eternal Life! This is their custom and tradition! The Military Intelligence Department has been exploring the grassland for several years, and this has been the case over the years. Almost half of the grassland tribes will go here! The Military Department is preparing to use 400,000 cavalry to encircle and annihilate the Mongolians here! It can be said that this is another national battle! All cavalry in the whole north must be dispatched!" Qu Duandao.

"The 400,000 cavalry come from four armies, and they need to cooperate well with each other! The Government Affairs Council and the Military Department have decided to establish a joint cavalry command in the north to command this battle and allocate each army. Yue Fei is the head commander, Li Xianzhong, you and Liu Qi, and Han Shizhong are the deputy commanders. You are responsible for the specific battle! I mainly look at the military preparations in various places! Over the years, half of the soldiers in the army have been recruits, and I don't know if they can participate in this combat mission." Zhao Chen said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will never let you down!" said Li Xianzhong.

"Very good. I will take a night off today. I will inspect the army tomorrow morning!" Zhao Chen said.

Early the next morning, when the sky was slightly bright, more than 100,000 troops had already gathered.

With Zhao Chen's order, the sound of thousands of horses galloping sounded, and all the cavalry galloped towards the north!

The soldiers have extremely high riding skills! Since they entered the army, they have been conducting arduous training every day!

Zhao Chen first watched the soldiers’ basic riding skills, and in the afternoon, the large-scale exercise began!

More than 100,000 troops were divided into two parts, and they fought against each other on the vast grassland ahead!

The exercise lasted for ten days. During these ten days, Zhao Chen had been following the army. He had been observing, and the staff of the military headquarters had also been observing, and at the same time judged the combat effectiveness of the army!

"Your Majesty, although a large number of new recruits have joined the army, the combat effectiveness of our army has not decreased much! The new recruits have indeed lacked combat experience, but years of hard training are enough to make up for the lack of experience! Moreover, there are still a large number of veterans in our army as core personnel. In real war, veterans can lead new recruits to fight, so that new recruits can gradually mature in the war! These new recruits are in need of war baptism!" The judgment made by General Quduan's staff of the military department reported to Zhao Chen.

"You must also participate in this joint cavalry command! After the war is over, you must give me a report. If there is another war in the future, a similar joint command may be established to command operations in a unified manner!" Zhao Chen said.

"The last general takes the order." Qu Duan nodded and said.

"I want to go to the north to meet the Mongolians." Zhao Chen thought for a while and said again.

"This... Your Majesty, it is very dangerous to go to Beijing to the north." Qu Duan said.

"With so many troops here, what's there to be afraid of?" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

On the third day of April, Zhao Chen and Li Xianzhong led 10,000 cavalry all the way north.

On April 13, Zhao Chen, Li Xianzhong and others came to the city of Zhenzhou!

Zhenzhou is located in the later Mongolian Ulaanbaatar area. This era belonged to the Khitans! The Song Dynasty inherited the territory and population of the Liao Kingdom. It is logically owned by the Song Dynasty, but now it is actually an empty city! After the Song Dynasty unified the north, it had not had time to return to it.

"Zhenzhou, built by Empress Dowager Xiao in the 22nd year of the reunification of the Liao Kingdom, was the residence of the Liao Kingdom's northwest Jiaojian Office. After that, Yelu Dashi walked north and stayed here. This Zhenzhou has a history of more than 200 years!" The army was guarding around, and Zhao Chen and Li Xianzhong led more than ten guards to walk under the walls of Zhenzhou City.

The city wall here is very broken, and a door of Zhenzhou City in front also fell. Seeing this scene, Zhao Chen couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, more than a hundred cavalry suddenly rushed out from the Zhenzhou city gate! These people were dressed in standard Mongolians, but they didn’t expect that there were even Mongolians in Zhenzhou city!

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Li Xianzhong was shocked and said.

"Annihilate them all!" Zhao Chen sneered.

He rushed forward, and Li Xianzhong and others hurriedly followed! Li Xianzhong shouted and rushed to the front, and the more than ten guards rushed up one after another!

These more than ten people had met the Mongols, and almost got along, and their opponent fell to the ground immediately! They were all holding iron spears. At this moment, the iron spears were flying. No one of the Mongolians in front of them could block their moves! These more than ten people were warriors carefully selected from the army, specifically used to protect Zhao Chen's safety, and each of them was a master of the innate realm! After Zhao Chen unified the Song Dynasty, he still had constant military affairs. Over the years, more and more martial arts masters joined the army, eager to make achievements!

More than a hundred Mongolians never thought that the Song army here would be so powerful. After a moment, they fled in all directions, and the Song army around them had already been suppressed!

A quarter of an hour later, all the Mongolians were subdued, and three Mongolian nobles dressed somewhat differently from other Mongolians were escorted to Zhao Chen.

"Do you speak Chinese?" Zhao Chen said.

"I will say." A handsome Mongolian young man who looked only in his twenties said in a strange tone.

"Very good! Tell me, why do you want to attack us!" Zhao Chen said.

"Depending on your outfit, you should be a person with a very high status among the Han people. If we catch you, we can use it for money!" The young man snorted coldly and said.

"You Mongols go south every winter to invade us, why?" Zhao Chen said.

"If you have money, we will naturally rob you! Isn't this a natural thing?" said the Mongolian youth.

"It's indeed a scoundrel! I have endured you Mongolian scoundrels very much! People come, drag them down and chop them down!" Zhao Chen sneered and said.

The Song army immediately pulled these Mongols down, but even before they died, these Mongols did not beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty, these Mongols have always been like this. They have always felt that looting us is a matter of course." Li Xianzhong said.

"Send the order and the whole army trains carefully. When autumn comes, we must completely eliminate these Mongolian robbers and completely eliminate the northern border troubles!" Zhao Chen said.

"I will obey the order!" Li Xianzhong said immediately.

Zhao Chen, Li Xianzhong and others stayed here for more than ten days, observing the situation of the Mongols from all over the country, and then they returned south again. Zhao Chen went to the Yue Fei army in Liaodong not long afterwards to inspect Yue Fei's army.

From February 20th to the end of May, Zhao Chen did not return to Yanjing again. During three months, the Government and the important affairs of the 36 provinces were still delivered to Zhao Chen. However, Zhao Chen did not make any instructions, and the court was still operating normally, and there was no turmoil in the world! After years of development, the national system has been basically stable, which made Zhao Chen very pleased.

The August of the lunar calendar has arrived, and Mongolian tribes have arrived one after another in Lake Baikal in the far north!

Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake in the world and the deepest freshwater lake. Its freshwater storage reaches 20% of the world's freshwater storage, which is enough for the last half century for the seven billion people in the world in later generations! However, in later generations, this place has nothing to do with China and has long been owned by Russia.

During the Han Dynasty, this place was called "Beihai" by the Chinese, and it was under the control of the Huns at that time!

When Su Wu went on a mission to the Huns, he looked like he was in the Beihai area.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty and Western Jin Dynasty, this place was controlled by the Xianbei people, and it was also called Beihai at that time.

During the Tang Dynasty, this place was controlled by the Turks, and until now, it has become a holy place for the Mongols.

The autumn is clear and the air is clear, and more and more Mongolian tribes are coming here!

By mid-August, the number of Mongolians coming here had exceeded 700,000, and Mongolians were constantly coming!

The entire Baikal area is much larger than that of Taiwan Island, and it is surrounded by more people.

Dozens of Mongolian tribal leaders of all sizes gathered together to discuss the incident of going south to invade the Song Dynasty this winter! When it comes to being happy, these tribal leaders couldn't help but laugh.

But they didn't know that 400,000 Song troops had arrived one after another, and they had launched a "hunting" operation against the Mongolians! Hunting was the military code name of the Song army this time!

Starting from mid-August, the rangers first encountered the attack of some Mongolian tribes on the periphery, and then the Song army continued to advance in!

The Mongolians gradually felt something was wrong!

On September 13, in the north, the 100,000 elite cavalry of Yue Fei's troops encountered dozens of Mongolian tribal coalition forces. The war lasted for nearly a day. Liu Qi came from the east and the Mongolian coalition forces were defeated!

On September 15, in the southwest direction, Han Shizhong and Li Xianzhong's armies suddenly launched an attack on another group of Mongolian tribal troops that were gathering here, and the Mongols were defeated again!

In nearly half a month, within a radius of hundreds of miles around Lake Baikal, the Song army and the Mongols fought more than ten major battles with a force of more than 100,000!
Chapter completed!
