"Do you still need to inform General Zhao of the strategy of advancing the Eastern Expedition?"

This simple question made Wu Jie slightly stunned and fell into deep thought. Zhao Xingde's identity was the chief minister of the Prime Minister's Office and the firearms chief of the Eastern Expedition Army. In the southeast, it represented the Xia court's dealings with the Song people. When the 50,000 Eastern Expedition Army secretly sneaked into Fangzhou, it cut off all the roads leading to the mountains. The specific combat operations were hidden in the Xia Kingdom without even being hidden in the Guardian Mansion. However, the army was about to go to war, and it seemed that it was not appropriate to hide it from Zhao Xingde's words. However, he was a Song people after all.

Wu Jie remembered the advice of the person before leaving, and he admired the one who was very impressed: "Jin Qing went to Guandong this time, and the first battle was when the mantis stalked the cicada. The oriole was behind, and our army was even behind the oriole. After working hard for a long time, we achieved this situation of driving tigers and swallowing wolves. After all, we would be able to reorganize the army to fight against the northern expedition. As long as this battle opens up, the Guguo Mansion and the Zhuguo Mansion will agree to launch a large-scale military force in Guandong. The mountains of food and grass were piled up in Shu, hundreds of thousands of them were in Guanzhong.

The regiment trains the army, and the support generals are endless. Jin Qing can also show his ambitions, join a million troops, chase the north and sweep thousands of miles of land. The key to this battle is to seize the opportunity to send troops, and the second is to attack the enemy without preparation and unexpectedly. Although Zhao Xingde is a talented person, he is from Guandong and has a close relationship with Chen Dong and others. The strategy of advancing should not be rashly informed to avoid misleading major events. As long as Jin Qing engages with caution, this is the first contribution to domination of the world, you will be the one who will do it!"

"General?" The marching chief Shi Gao Gongmao asked again. He was just a reminder that Wu Jie was afraid that he would forget it.

"What a pity." Wu Jie shook his head and said with regret, "There are mixed with fish and dragons around Zhao Dujian, which is easy to leak news. Don't notify him about sending troops first, and then inform him quickly after our army sends troops." Wu Jie admired Zhao Xingde, but the far-sighted one was a hundred times better than himself. Wu Jie naturally could not follow his special instructions. Although Zhao Xingde was valued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he was not a person who was ignorant of the general and narrow-minded. He would just hide it from him and explain it tactfully in the future.

"As for the order." Gao Gongmao said without a doubt: "General, Prime Minister's Office asks, how long does it take to defeat the enemy after the army takes action?" This time, the Eastern Expedition Army was moved to Fangzhou, and even the General's Office did not know about it. Although the previous actions were unaware of it, the two prefectures also took a lot of effort to prevent the Liao and Song dynasties from being noticed. All the troops on the expedition were active-duty soldiers and regiment training troops, and they did not recruit retired soldiers from the people. The road to the dispatch was investigated and cleared by the Military Information Department in advance, and the military supplies of the 50,000 Eastern Expedition Army were all transferred out of the granaries of the logistics department. The Prime Minister's Office originally planned to use the granaries of Shu, but the General's Office finally refused for the need for confidentiality. Therefore, before the support of the food and grass was continued, the Eastern Expedition Army must fight quickly, and it is best to go to the Song territory after the victory.

"Ten days," Wu Jie pondered for a moment and repeated surely, "Ten days are enough."

The Eastern Expedition Army stationed in Fangzhou include four cavalry, including the Baiyu Army, a total of 20,000 cavalry, and four infantry, 20,000 infantry, and the newly trained 20 battalions of firearms. In contrast, the five armies under the Andong Army Division have only 25,000 active-duty soldiers. "Fifty thousand army." Wu Jie couldn't help but narrow his eyes, "A man who is good at fighting has a dangerous situation and a short distance." He looked into the distance, looking at the mountains in the east, and was a little anxious about the upcoming battle...

In Shuzhou, officers were constantly coming in and out of the central army camp of Baoyi Army, shrouding an atmosphere before the war. Among the three Song troops gathered in Shuzhou, the Zhenguo Army was considered to be in a state of iron, while the Baoyi Army and the Henghai Army were both unsatisfied. The news that the three generals of the generals decided to attack the Liao army was leaked early. In the past few days, the army was in an unusual mood. Fortunately, Zhao Xingde's military orders followed one by one, from the battalion command, the captain, to the soldiers below, were all busy preparing for the pre-war preparations, and there was not much time to think about the miscellaneous thoughts.

"Is the morale in the army good?"

Seeing the commander's questioning, Lu Mingyu smiled and said, "Everyone is ready to fight this big battle." Luo Xianshi nodded and said, "Let the people of Zhenguo Army see, we will also fight a big battle." He led the two of them, Zhang Wudi, Xia Maoer and other generals below all started to clamor, and their morale was very strong.

Zhao Xingde looked at these subordinates with a smile. Since the Henghai Navy blocked the river, the left and right armies of the Baoyi Army took turns to attack and harass the Liao army's food route. After more than a month, the Liao army in the frontier of Baozhou saw a shortage of food and fodder, and the signing army became even more distant. Some people even secretly surrendered to the Song army and claimed that they had no choice but to surrender to the Liao people. As long as the two sides fought, they were willing to turn against the Song army immediately. Another gain of harassing the Liao army's food route was that Bao

The soldiers of the rebel army overcame their vague fear of the Liao thieves. After the founding of the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, the Northern Army often suffered great losses and took advantage of small gains. Among the folk rumors, the Northern Army mostly rode and shot like flying, killing without blinking. Even the gangsters who claimed to be brave also had a mysterious sense of fear when talking about the Northern Army. However, in one harassing battle after another, the soldiers of the Bao Yi army became familiar with the Liao army, and no longer regarded the Khitans as monsters who could conquer wars.

Luo Xian asked in a tenth question: "Does Yue Shumi have any tricks in this decisive battle with the Liao army?" The generals also showed a focused look on their faces. Everyone knew that this battle was extremely important, and Zhao Xingde had always been obsessed with the generals of the Baoyi Army, and few generals pretended to be mysterious. Although the generals performed their own duties, they knew the Privy Council's strategy of using troops earlier, and they also had a clear idea in their hearts.

Zhao Xingde looked around, was silent for a while, and told the truth: "Supreme Yue decided to use the right troops to defeat the enemy."

"Main Soldier?" Luo Xianshi was a little surprised and nodded thoughtfully. The generals also looked at each other.

"It's the main soldiers." Zhao Xingde nodded, "The enemy's commanders are the cavalry coming and going, gathering and dispersing, and annihilation is not easy. The commanders of our commanders are in a dignified formation. Moreover, the Zhenguo Army and the Northern Barbarians have been stalemate for several months, and you have been harassing the enemy for a long time. Although Tiemu Ge is not knowledgeable, his mind is very meticulous. The Liao army's defense at the front is already airtight." He pointed to the map, the narrow plain between the mountains and the river, the Song army camps are in the west and the Liao army camps are in the east. In this narrow area, there are more than 100,000 people on both sides. The Liao and Song armies are like two rats meeting in a pit. To defeat their opponents, they can only strive to defeat the main force of the enemy. This is true for the Liao army, which is blocked from Shuzhou, and for the Song army, which is now turning to attack.

Therefore, the strategy of the Privy Councilor Yue Fei to defeat the Liao army was extremely simple. The Zhenguo Army and the Baoyi Army were the backbone, and tens of thousands of Southeast Song troops attacked from the front, striving to defeat the Liao army under Tiemuge in a short period of time. More than 10,000 elite troops of the Heng Navy patrol and support the river, bombarding the Liao army camps on the banks of the river with gunships. The Heng Navy must also be prepared to block possible reinforcements.

"Why can we win without a surprise?" Zhang Wudi complained, "If we let the Zhenguo Army fight in front, we will attack the Liao army, and we will attack the Liao army in the back?" The generals agreed. Since the Battle of Fangzhou, the generals of the Baoyi Army have long been used to the tactics of ambushing and knocking sticks. The southeast water network is dense, and the Baoyi Army often takes boats to harass the enemy's food route, and is familiar with the Liao army's rear road.

"That's the way to die." Luo Xianshi smiled. He looked at Zhang Wudi and shook his head, "This battle is not something that can be done with a small advantage. We, the Zhenguo Army and the Henghai Army, are slightly better than the Liao army. If we divide it into two, it will be the easiest to be defeated by the Liao army. Think about it, you have 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry on your hands and the enemy will automatically divide it into two halves. What would you do?"

"This?" Zhang Wudi was speechless for a moment. It seemed that he had to fight head-on with the Liao army this time, and the casualties would never be light. The generals showed a look of disappointment, and only a fierce person like Xia Maoer was eager to try. Zhao Xingde saw the expressions of the generals. He sighed secretly. Compared with the Zhenguo Army, what the Baoyi Army lacked was this desperate fight to fight hard, and he took this opportunity to temper the camp. Although the situation on the battlefield was very clear, only by defeating the Liao army's defense line could he fight quickly, but the generals looked at me and I looked at you and felt a little at a loss.

Just at this moment, a sudden "bang" sound scared all the generals.

"Fighting is courage!" Zhao Xingde punched the desk, "put away all the opportunistic thoughts. In the current situation, the brave ones win when the two armies meet!"

The training, formation and formation of the elite troops of the Baoyi Army headquarters were all carried out with the expectation of head-on tough battles. After arriving in Shuzhou, Zhao Xingde did not want these elite troops to lose too quickly, and politely refused Yue Fei's request to the Baoyi Army to take on half of the defense line, but took the initiative to undertake the military affairs of harassment behind enemy lines that the water bandits were good at. Who would have thought that while using war instead, the Baoyi Army's troops also laid the mood that the Baoyi Army departments liked to fight slippery battles and were unwilling to fight fierce battles. However, the two armies were in conflict, fierce battles and hard battles were inevitable. Now that the generals and officials are like this, the emotions of the soldiers below can be imagined.

Since taking charge of the Baoyi Army, Zhao Xingde has rarely spoken so harshly to his subordinates. Everyone suddenly felt a stern heart, some bowed their heads and some looked ashamed. After a while of silence, Lu Mingyu said: "General, don't worry, the Zhenguo Army is fighting a tough battle, and the Baoyi Army's brothers are not cowards!" "That's it!" Xia Maoer said: "The Zuojun Ya Bian Battalion has come here for many cruel battles, and has never frowned." With these two leaders, the other generals said that even if they were wearing horses and corpses, they would compete with the Zhenguo Army for who could fight a tough battle.
