Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 241: Northern Expedition Plan

Zhao Chen and others are heading towards the combat office of the staff headquarters!

There are now more than 500 people in the combat office, and these more than 500 people are all outstanding officers in the army! They all have combat experience, and they all behave extraordinary in battle, know how to use resourcefulness! In addition, they more or less have a cultural background, which is also commendable in this era! In this era, the literacy rate is extremely low, and most soldiers are illiterate. These people are undoubtedly the cultural elites in the military! In the past year, Wang Shu, Yu Yunwen, Yue Fei, Qu Duan and others have also imparted knowledge to these people in the staff headquarters, and passed their own experience to the staff of these operations!

The entire combat office is also divided into several agencies, including the processing of emergency intelligence, including the processing of domestic and foreign forms, including the formulation of strategic plans, and so on! The current combat plan for Xixia is a strategic plan and emergency intelligence jointly formulated by two agencies!

Zhao Chen has come here at this moment, he is looking at this battle plan!

The unusual details written in the combat plan, including the analysis of the domestic situation in Xixia, including the number of troops to be deployed this time, including logistics transportation, including general offensive routes, and so on! There are more than ten pages of the battle plan, and it took a while before Zhao Chen read the battle plan!

"Your Majesty, we really don't have the power to fight on three sides now! Therefore, before we use force against Xixia, we must contain Jurchen and King Kang!" Qu Duan, the director of the combat division, said at this moment.

"How to contain their power?" Zhao Chen said.

"For Jurchen, we can use the rebels of Hedong and Hebei! Now the number of rebels in Hedong and Hebei has exceeded 300,000, and these rebels are under our control! The leader of the rebels, Wang Gui, was originally your entourage. They are also General Yue Fei’s elder brother, they will not defy our orders! This time, the 300,000 rebels will launch attacks on important strongholds in Hedong and Hebei, making the Jurchens unable to move westward! When necessary, we will even want this All three hundred thousand volunteers sacrificed! Let them contain Jurchen at all costs!" Qu Duan said.

"All sacrifices?" Zhao Chen frowned slightly.

"For the victory of the overall situation, the necessary sacrifices are acceptable! If not, we will really fall into a three-sided attack, and both Guanshan and Hanzhong will be lost! At that time, we will never have the power to recover!" Qu Duandao.

"Where is King Kang? How to contain them?" Zhao Chen said.

"Containing King Kang requires General Wu-Jian! We have to create an illusion that General Wu-Jian is about to descend along the Yangtze River! We can send a large number of intelligence personnel to the south and enter Jiangnan to create rumors! In this way, King Kang will inevitably mobilize his army to go south. , They are also unable to look west!" Qu Duan said.

"Not bad!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"Xixia is also a large country in the Northwest. It has a huge land area, a large number of cities, and a military strength of about 400,000! To fight against Xixia, we must use at least two armies! Moreover, almost all the food and grass accumulated over the past year are used. Above this battle!" Qu Duan said again.

"Use two armies! Li Xianzhong led the Forbidden Army in northern Shaanxi into Xixia from Yongxing Road, Zhao Zhe led the Jingyuan Army into Xixia from Qinfeng Road! The two armies marched together, with the Forbidden Army in northern Shaanxi as the main force, and the Jingyuan Army The main thing is to conduct sabotage operations!" Wang Shu said on the sidelines.

"Your Majesty, both armies may not be able to do it! Xixia has been able to fight our Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years and is powerful! After your Majesty became the throne, the implementation of the infantry code, the strength of our army is at least ten times higher than before! But even so, we are also strong! We can’t underestimate Xixia, I think the Huanqing Army must mobilize at least half of its troops! Only by entering the territory of Xixia with 250,000 troops can they win the battlefield and change the situation of attack on three sides!” Yue Fei said.

Zhao Chen nodded! These battle plans are all there, but these people explained it in more detail!

"Your Majesty, after we got the information that Xixia was about to move last winter, we immediately began to formulate relevant combat plans! Moreover, we have ordered all armies to start war mobilization! Especially the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army and the Jingyuan Army are ready to attack at any time! In addition! , We have sent someone to inform Wang Gui, the envoy of Hedong, so that Wang Gui will launch an offensive against Hedong and Hebei Jurchen strongholds at all costs! We have also sent a large number of intelligence personnel to the south of the Yangtze River! Your Majesty, if you do not return, we will be on the Lantern Festival Fight against Xixia that day! Now your Majesty, you are back, everything needs your Majesty to make a decision!" Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen was stunned. He didn't expect that they had planned everything and mobilized everything!

"Your Majesty, in fact, Xixia is a threat we must face! Even if Xixia is not ready to move, we must fight against Xixia! If Xixia suddenly emerges from behind when we are fighting with King Kang and Jurchen, that would be bad! So in Before the battle with King Kang and the female real, we will make it difficult for Xixia to go south!" Qu Duan said.

"Your Majesty, Xixia is only gaining momentum now! They sent Li Ganming here to test your Majesty! If your Majesty surrendered, they will definitely put forward more excessive conditions! If your Majesty did not surrender, they would have. An excuse for going south! Now Xixia should not be ready for war, and there should be differences in their country! Now is a good opportunity to attack Xixia! We suddenly launched an offensive, they have no preparation, we can catch them by surprise!" Yue Fei Tao.

"Can we win this battle?" Zhao Chen said.

He really did not expect that he would face such a situation just after returning to Guan Shan!

"Your Majesty, our soldiers are united! We will definitely win!" Qu Duan said.

"Your Majesty, make a decision early!" Yue Fei said again.

"If the order continues, the Forbidden Army, Jingyuan Army, and Huanqing Army in Northern Shaanxi will move north to attack Xixia! I personally supervise the war, and Qu Duan and Yu Yunwen will go along with me! Military Minister Yue Fei stays in Guanshan and takes over the military affairs of Shaanxi, doing things cheaply!" After a long time, Zhao Chen said fiercely!

The time for war should not be missed. Once it is missed, it is difficult to find an opportunity again! Originally, whether it was Yue Fei, Qu Duan, or Yu Yunwen, they thought they could wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but today the Xixia envoys arrive, and Xixia’s heart is clearly revealed, and there is no room for delay at this time! Therefore, Yue Fei and others asked Zhao Chen to make a decision immediately! When the army went north, it was also the day when Wang Gui launched a large-scale offensive in Hedong and Hebei, and it was also the day when rumors in the south of the Yangtze River rose! This is a war that is close to the battle of annihilation of the country. As an emperor, Zhao Chen personally supervises the battle. Only by personally supervising the battle can the morale of the soldiers be stimulated, so that the soldiers dare not slacken their efforts.

Looking at the battle plan in his hand, Zhao Chen was also amazed! This is a combat plan that fully takes into account the four aspects of China, Jiangnan, Jurchen, and Xixia. It is almost impossible to formulate such a plan before the emergence of the military aircraft department! This is the crystallization of the wisdom of hundreds of people in the combat office. To a certain extent, it has proved that the Germans originally proposed that even the best genius commander in history cannot be compared to a perfect organization. Headquarters of the staff! Even Yue Fei, the **** of war of this era, wants to analyze so much domestic and foreign intelligence alone, and in such a short period of time, he will work out a plan to contain both Jurchen and King Kang and enter Xixia from the north and the south. It is almost impossible to do war mobilization and material deployment all at once!

From the moment Zhao Chen gave the battle order, Guan Shan's huge war machine began to move!

Thousands of imperial soldiers rode in all directions, some towards northern Shaanxi, some towards Fengxiang Mansion, some towards Jingyuan Road, and others towards Dasan. Off the direction! The army from all directions will be mobilized in accordance with the combat plan of the General Staff Headquarters, and the grain and grass from various places will also be transported in the direction of Xixia! The soldiers of the production and construction corps are responsible for transporting grain and grass. According to the combat plan, these soldiers of the production and construction corps will also step onto the battlefield and participate in the Xixia operation when necessary!

On the tenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, there is still heavy snow in the security army area of ​​northern Shaanxi!

There are more than a hundred simple houses on a desolate land, which belongs to a barracks of the Forbidden Army in northern Shaanxi!

The cold wind howled, the sky was abnormally dim! Under such circumstances, the soldiers here are still training!

Thousands of soldiers were holding spears in their hands. They lined up neatly. With the shout of "Kill", they continued to assassinate them forward! Exhausted all the energy!

The weather was extremely cold, and the soldiers' faces were flushed with freezing, but no one stopped, no one was behind! The sound of "kill" spread far away, the voice was neat and sharp!

In addition to them, there are soldiers running in the distance. They ran from far away, panting and sweating all over! These soldiers ran to the barracks and laughed!

Farther, in the snow, there are some soldiers training in the snow shirtless! They gritted their teeth and endured the freezing, but still no one was behind, no one complained! They wiped the snow on their bodies, and there was a burst of biting cold, and their skin became red! When the training stopped, these soldiers laughed too!

At this moment, there was the sound of horseshoes from a distance, and three people from far away came running towards this side! Someone from the barracks immediately greeted him!

"Who?" someone asked loudly.

"Emergency military intelligence! Emergency military intelligence!" The three men were also wearing military uniforms of Song Jun, and the leader said loudly at the moment.

"What emergency military situation?" the soldier in the barracks asked.

The three of them had stopped their horses at the moment. Three of them got off the horse, and one of them ran over in stride, and said, "Where is General Mo? Quickly let him out! It's the emergency military situation of the military!"

Hearing that it was an emergency military situation from the military department, someone immediately went to find the general Mo who was in charge of the military camp!

Not long afterward, a general in his twenties ran towards here! He is the head of this military camp, commander of the Third Army of the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army, Mo Biao!

When he came here, the cavalry who came to report the news immediately sent a letter from the military department!

"Call the army immediately!" Mo Biao said loudly after reading the ten lines at a glance.

"General, what's the matter?" said a lieutenant next to him.

"We are going north to join the war! General Li Xianzhong sent an order. We immediately went to Yan'an Mansion and joined the army of Yan'an Mansion. One hundred thousand northern Shaanxi forbidden troops will enter the territory of Xixia within five days and conquer Hongzhou!" Mo Biao said.

"What?" The lieutenant stayed there!

"Aren't you going to gather the army? Within half an hour, we must pack everything up and we will go to Yan'an Mansion overnight!" Mo Biao said loudly.

"Yes!" The deputy general said with a mixed surprise expression on his face.
