Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

On December 26th, 27th, and 28th, for three consecutive days, the General Staff Headquarters held three meetings.

High-level military officials including Zhao Chen, Yue Fei, Qu Duan, Wang Shu, Yu Yunwen, Wang De, and Zhao Zhe participated in these three meetings, and the leaders of various departments of the General Staff Headquarters also participated in these three military meetings! Everyone conducts the final research and the final discussion!

This time the war is of great importance. If it is not under the battle of Xixia, it must be treated with caution and there can be no mistakes!

On December 29th, an emergency mobilization order was issued again among the entire army! All the soldiers of the Forbidden Army have made the final preparations, and they all know that they are about to leave in ten days! However, apart from the highest-level generals of the Forbidden Army, the rest of the Forbidden Army officers did not know where they were going!

New Year's Eve has arrived in a blink of an eye. Although Wugong County is full of lights, there is a tense and solemn atmosphere everywhere! Whether it is the soldiers of the various armies or the young people of the production and construction corps, they know that the war is coming!

The heavy snow was flying, it was late at night, but the officers in the staff headquarters still had no one to rest!

Today is the last day that Zhao Chen has settled down, and it is also the time to finalize the battle plan.

Zhao Chen, Qu Duan, Yue Fei, Yu Yunwen and others are all in the combat area at this moment, and they are still standing in front of that huge map.

"Your Majesty, this morning we have just received letters from Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Li Xianzhong, Liu Qi and others. They put forward their opinions on the combat plan! But in general, they agreed with the plan made by the General Staff Headquarters! North, we To start the Northern Expedition! In the central region, we focus on defense! Jiangnan is the battle that determines the situation of the world! We can lose in the northern and central regions, but the Jiangnan battle must never fail!" Yu Yunwen said.

"I understand this naturally!" Zhao Chen said.

"At present, we have finalized all the details of the battle between Guanshan and Jiangnan in the central part of China! Now only the battle of the Northern Expedition is left. According to the plan of the General Staff Headquarters these days, the focus of the battle of the Northern Expedition lies in a quick word! We have to win by surprise! An important stronghold in the north, separating the two army of Jurchens going south from the army of Hedong, Guanshan and other places! The Jurchens had already started mobilizing a month ago, and it will take about three months for them to come from the north! We must rush In front of them! So this requires extremely high mobility! Therefore, we decided that this Northern Expedition consists of all cavalry! At present, the Forbidden Army has 70,000 cavalry, and the Forbidden Army cavalry is the main force, converging the 40,000 cavalry of the Huanqing Army, and mobilizing a total of ten Ten thousand cavalry! These cavalry will go all the way north into Xixia, and then attack Datong, Daixian, and Yanmen Pass along the grasslands from Xixia, and take all the important passes north of Hedong! After that, Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others will lead the army. Go north and stop Yanchang and Jin Wushu! If possible, occupy Yanjing!" Yu Yunwen said.

Now this part of the staff is the Operations Department, the Intelligence Department, and the Logistics Department. Yu Yunwen is in charge of the Logistics Department on the surface, but when Zhao Chen is away, he is responsible for managing all the affairs of the General Staff Headquarters! It's just because he was too young, so he didn't give the corresponding position! Now that Zhao Chen is here, it is Yu Yunwen to explain everything.

"Your Majesty, the focus of the current discussion is whether these 110,000 cavalrymen are too few and lack of strength? My opinion is that the 100,000 infantrymen of the Huanqing Army should also be sent to the north to join the northern expedition! In this way, the general The army has reached 200,000 people! These 200,000 people are enough to deal with the complicated situation in the north! According to the information we have, although the Jurchens sent two armies to the south, many of their two armies are composed of Khitans. The new Affiliated Army, and some of the Savage Jurchen Army captured by them! According to the analysis of the Operation Department, both the New Affiliated Army and the Savage Jurchen Army are definitely not as powerful as the real Jurchen Army. Even if we are 200,000 On the frontal battlefield, it is enough to deal with their two armies! But in this way, the pressure on Guan Shan is a little bit heavier! So, please make your decision!" Qu Duan said.

"Compared to the north and the south of the Yangtze River, the war between Guanshan and Shaanxi is already in a secondary position! In Guanshan, we are even allowed to fail, and we can even let out all the territory east of Fengxiang Mansion! Therefore, more troops will be sent to the north Well! Even so, Guan Shan still has half a million troops, and I think it can still cope with the pressure of the coming war." Zhao Chen said.

"Okay! Then listen to your majesty." Qu Weiwei nodded.

"The Northern Expedition, with Yue Fei as the commander, Liu Qi and Zhang Xian as the deputy commanders!" Zhao Chen said again.

On this point, Yu Yunwen, Qu Duan and others have no objection.

Yue Fei is the military **** of this era, and Liu Qi is a famous general in the early Southern Song Dynasty. His accomplishments far exceed those of Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi and others! If there is a list of famous generals in the early Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Qi should be able to rank in the top five, second only to Yue Fei, Wu Jie, Han Shizhong, Wu Lin and others! Zhang Xian is the main general of the Yue Family Army, and his strength is also extremely strong!

With the three of them commanding the army, there is great hope for victory in the Northern Expedition.

"In the battle of Guanshan, we still have half a million troops, with Qu Duan as the commander, Li Xianzhong and Zhao Zhe as the deputy commanders!" Zhao Chen said.

Qu Duan is the first man in the Western Army after being a teacher, and an all-rounder in civil and military, well-known in the world! Li Xianzhong was the first Han Chinese in the mid-Southern Song Dynasty! The two of them, together with the staff headquarters, are in Guanshan, and Zhao Chen is also very relieved.

"As for the battle of Jiangnan, Wu Jie is naturally the commander in chief, and Wu Lin is the deputy commander! I just stabilize the situation in Jiangnan with the past!" Zhao Chen smiled.

For a whole number of days, until now, his face finally showed a smile! His heart finally relaxed!

During this period of time, the situation in the world has changed, and even Zhao Chen has a feeling of being overwhelmed by the mountains! Now that he has a plan and a goal, he begins to relax.

"Your Majesty, the army of the Northern Expedition will also leave immediately!" Yue Fei stood up at this moment and said.

"Okay! I want to personally bid farewell to the soldiers!" Zhao Chen said.

Late at night, in the imperial army camps between Wugong County and Fufeng County, the dull drums of war began to sound.

As soon as the war drums rang, countless soldiers in the barracks got up from their beds.

Then they immediately put on the clothes, and the other clothes, food, etc. they had to carry were already prepared! In these days, the army has issued two emergency mobilization orders, and the soldiers in the army have already prepared for battle!

This time the Forbidden Army was dispatched by cavalry!

At the earliest, Yue Fei led the Forbidden Army to defeat the Wanyan Living Girl and captured Guan Shan. At that time, he formed more than 20,000 cavalry! After the Battle of Xixia ended, Zhao Chen sent one hundred thousand horses into Yue Fei's army, and Yue Fei formed another fifty thousand cavalry! Therefore, the number of cavalry in the Forbidden Army has reached 70,000, but 50,000 of them are new cavalry soldiers who have only trained for half a year!

However, although they have only trained for half a year, they have worked extremely hard! They start training every day before dawn and do not come back until late at night! Each of them owns two war horses, the war horses can take turns to rest every day, and they never rest! Even soldiers in later generations will have weekends and holidays, but they have not had any weekends or holidays in the past six months! It wasn't until the emergency mobilization order came down that their training began to decrease slightly, because they needed to save their physical strength and set out to fight as soon as the military order was issued!

In just a quarter of an hour, all the cavalry in the barracks were gathered together! All the food and grass have been taken with you everywhere!

After that, 10,000 cavalry in this barracks began to head towards Wugong County!

An hour later, all the 70,000 cavalry of the Forbidden Army were concentrated in the south of Wugong County.

At this moment, Zhao Chen, Yue Fei and others came before the army.

"Your Majesty!" Countless cavalry soldiers cheered!

They rode on horses, saluting in Zhao Chen's direction.

Zhao Chen stopped and looked around, and the cheers of the soldiers gradually calmed down.

"Today is New Year’s Eve, and tomorrow is the first day of Xuanwu’s six years! Time flies! In a blink of an eye, five or six years have passed. The people of Central Plains have also suffered for many years. My father, grandfather, I The two emperors of the Great Song Dynasty have also been imprisoned by foreign barbarians for five or six years. This is a huge humiliation that we Central Plains people have never suffered! Before this, there has never been a Central Plains king captured by foreign barbarians!" Zhao Chen Road slowly.

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army were silent, but many of them gritted their teeth! The shame of Jingkang is indeed a huge shame that the Chinese nation has never had before! Even after a thousand years, talking about Jingkang’s shame is still infuriating, let alone now?

"I decided to end all this!" Zhao Chen took a deep breath and said sharply.

"At the end, you will follow your Majesty to the death!" Yue Fei who was next to him whistled.

"Follow Your Majesty! I will certainly follow Your Majesty!"

"It must be ended!"

"Get rid of the Tartars and restore China!"

Countless angry voices came from the Forbidden Army! Not only Zhao Chen has endured for many years, but every Chinese citizen and Chinese soldier has endured for many years! As a Han, how can he put such a huge humiliation without revenge? How can we not get rid of the Tartars and restore China?

"This time your Northern Expedition, going deep into the enemy's territory, is extremely dangerous! I hope that most of you will survive. I will help you in the future, and I will drink your celebration wine!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will never let your Majesty down!"

"Your Majesty, we must be able to win!"

"Your Majesty, we will definitely come back alive!"

The voices of countless soldiers came from below again.

"Your Majesty, it's time for our Forbidden Army to show off! We have to prove to the world that our Forbidden Army has surpassed the Jurchens and become the world's most powerful and invincible army! Jurchens are invincible, this sentence from now on To give us the army of the Song Dynasty! At the beginning, Huo Qubing led an army of fifty thousand into the desert, and the Huns have since been devastated! Xue Rengui set the Tianshan Mountains with three arrows, and the Turks never dared to move around! I, Yue Fei, also have such aspirations, and I will not be in Huo Qubing. Under Xue Rengui, the strength of the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty is not under those of the Great Han and the Prosperous Tang! We can completely compare with them, or even surpass them!" Yue Fei said.

"Brother Yue, is your health okay?" Zhao Chen said.

More than two months ago, when Yue Fei was injured in Zhongnan Mountain, Zhao Chen didn't know how he recovered.

"My body is very good! In addition, I am about to comprehend a deeper realm by killing the enemy on the battlefield!" Yue Fei smiled.

"Come here, get the wine! I'll give Brother Yue a strong move!" Zhao Chen said fiercely.

At the moment, the soldiers of the imperial camp brought two bowls of wine. Zhao Chen put one in Yue Fei's hands and took one by himself! The two ate it!

Alcohol was not allowed in the army, but Zhao Chen personally gave him alcohol, and Yue Fei would not refuse.

After drinking this bowl of wine, Yue Fei led the army towards the north without looking back!

Zhao Chen looked at the soldiers of the Forbidden Army who were gradually disappearing, but he couldn't help but tears. These were all good Chinese men. He knew that after he got to the north, they would be dead or injured! For the future of the Han people, for the future of China, they are not afraid of life and death. They are willing to dedicate their lives to this nation and this country. They are the most respectable people in the world!

It was not until all the soldiers of the imperial army disappeared that Zhao Chen led a group of people from the imperial camp towards the west.
