Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Zhao Chen and others headed for the combat department of the staff headquarters!

Now there are more than 500 people in the combat department, and these 500 people are all outstanding officers in the army! They all have combat experience, and they all performed extraordinary in battle, knowing how to use resourcefulness! In addition, they have a more or less cultural foundation, 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! Over the past year, in the staff headquarters, Wang Shu, Yu Yunwen, Yue Fei, Qu Duan and others have also imparted knowledge to these people, passing on their experience to the staff officers of these combat departments!

The entire combat department 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, etc.! But now the combat plan against Xixia is jointly formulated by the strategic plan and emergency intelligence!

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

The battle plan was written in exceptional detail, including the analysis of the Xixia domestic situation, including the number of troops to be deployed this time, including logistics transportation, including the approximate offensive route, etc.! The battle plan has more than ten pages in total, and it took a while before Zhao Chen finished reading the battle plan!

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

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

"For the Jurchen, we can use the rebels from 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, is your Majesty's personal follower. They are also General Yue Fei's sworn brother, they will not disobey our orders! This time, 300,000 rebels will attack the important strongholds in Hedong and Hebei, so that the Jurchens will be unable to go west! When necessary, we will even send these The 300,000 rebels are all sacrificed! Let them restrain Jurchen at all costs!" Qu Duan said.

"Sacrifice all?" Zhao Chen frowned slightly.

"For the sake of overall victory, necessary sacrifices are acceptable! Otherwise, we will be caught in a three-pronged situation, and Guanshan and Hanzhong will be lost! At that time, we will never have the strength to recover!" Qu end way.

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

"General Wu Jie is needed to contain King Kang! We need to create the illusion that General Wu Jie is about to go down the Yangtze River! We can send a large number of intelligence personnel to go south into the south of the Yangtze River and create rumors! In this way, King Kang will definitely mobilize his army to go south , they are also powerless to look around!" Qu Duan said.

"Not bad!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"Xixia is also a big country in the northwest. It has a huge land area, a lot of cities, and a military strength of about 400,000! If we want to fight against Xixia, we need to use at least two armies! Moreover, almost all the food and supplies accumulated this year will be used. Above this battle!" Qu Duan said again.

"Use two armies! Li Xianzhong led the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army to enter Xixia territory from Yongxing Road, and Zhao Zhe led the Jingyuan Army to enter Xixia territory from Qinfeng Road! The two armies marched together, with the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army as the main force, and the Jingyuan Army Mainly to carry out sabotage operations!" Wang Shu said from the side.

"Your Majesty, neither of the two armies may be able to do it! Xixia has been able to fight against our Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, and its strength is strong! After His Majesty ascended the throne, he implemented the infantry drill code, and our army's strength has increased by at least ten times compared to before! Xixia should not be underestimated, I think the Huanqing Army must mobilize at least half of its troops! Only by entering the territory of Xixia with an army of 250,000 can we win the battlefield and change the situation of the attack from 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 received information about Xixia's imminent move last winter, we immediately began to formulate relevant combat plans! Moreover, we have ordered all armies to start mobilizing for war! Especially the Northern Shaanxi Imperial Army and the Jingyuan Army are ready to attack at any time! In addition , We have sent people to inform Wang Gui, the emissary of Hedong, to ask Wang Gui to launch an attack on the Jurchen strongholds in Hedong and Hebei at all costs around Yuanxiao! We have also sent a large number of intelligence personnel to go south to Jiangnan! Your Majesty, if you do not come back, we will meet you on the Lantern Festival Start the war against Xixia that day! Now that you are back, Your Majesty, you need to decide everything!" Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that they had already planned 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 we are fighting King Kang and Jurchen, Xixia suddenly appears from behind, that would be bad! So in Before we fight King Kang and Jurchen, we will make it difficult for Xixia to go south!" Qu Duan said.

"Your Majesty, Xixia is just showing momentum now! They sent Li Ganming here to test His Majesty! If His Majesty succumbed, they would definitely put forward even more excessive conditions! If His Majesty did not succumb, they would have It is an excuse to go south! Xixia should not be ready for war now, and there should still be differences in their country! Now is a good opportunity to attack Xixia! We suddenly launched an attack, and they have no preparations, so we can catch them by surprise!" Yue Fei road.

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

He really didn't expect that he would face such a situation when he just returned to Guanshan!

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

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

"Pass the order, the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army, the Jingyuan Army, and the Huanqing Army will go northward today to attack Xixia! I personally supervise the battle, and Qu Duan and Yu Yunwen will follow me! Minister of Military Aircraft Yue Fei stays at Guanshan and takes charge of the military affairs of Guanshan, doing things cheaply!" After a long time, Zhao Chen suddenly said!

The opportunity of war cannot be missed. Once missed, it will be extremely difficult to find another opportunity! Originally, both Yue Fei, Qu Duan and Yu Yunwen thought they could wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but today the Xixia envoys arrived, and Xixia's heart was clearly revealed, and there is no time to delay! Therefore, Yue Fei and others asked Zhao Chen to make a decision immediately! When the army went north, it was 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 were rampant! This is a war that is close to the battle of destroying the country. As the emperor, Zhao Chen personally supervises the battle, so that the morale of the soldiers can be stimulated, so that the soldiers dare not slack off. Only when they understand the importance of this war can they defeat the enemy!

Zhao Chen looked at the battle plan in his hand and was amazed! This is a battle plan formulated with full consideration of all the situations in the country, Jiangnan, Jurchen, and Xixia. It is almost impossible to formulate such a plan before the appearance of the Military Aircraft Division! This is the crystallization of the wisdom of hundreds of people in the combat department. To some extent, it has proved the sentence that the Germans put forward at the beginning-even the best genius commander in history cannot be compared with a well-organized commander. The staff headquarters! Even Yue Fei, the god of war in this era, wants to analyze so much domestic and foreign intelligence by himself, and formulate a plan in such a short period of time to contain Jurchen and Kang Wang and enter Xixia from the north and the south. It is almost impossible to mobilize war and allocate materials at once!

*** ***

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

Thousands of soldiers from the Imperial Battalion rode in all directions, some in the direction of Northern Shaanxi, some in the direction of Fengxiang Mansion, some in the direction of Jingyuan Road, and some in the direction of Dasan Off the direction! The armies in all directions will be mobilized according to the combat plan of the General Staff Headquarters, and the food and supplies from all over the country will also be transported in the direction of Xixia! The soldiers of the Production and Construction Corps are responsible for transporting the grain and grass. According to the battle plan, these soldiers of the Production and Construction Corps will also go to the battlefield when necessary to participate in the Xixia battle!

On the tenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, in the area of ​​the Security Army in northern Shaanxi, it was still snowing heavily!

There are more than a hundred simple houses on a piece of desolate land, and this place belongs to a barracks of the Northern Shaanxi Imperial Army!

The cold wind howled, and the sky was extremely dark! Under such circumstances, the soldiers here are still training!

Thousands of soldiers held spears in their hands, they lined up neatly, and as they shouted "Kill", they continued to assassinate forward! Use all your strength!

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

In addition to them, there are running soldiers in the distance. They came from a long distance, panting and sweating! These soldiers ran to the front of the barracks, laughing loudly!

Farther away, in the snow, there are still some soldiers training in the snow shirtless! They gritted their teeth and endured the freezing, but still no one fell behind, no one complained! They smeared snow on their bodies, and bursts of biting cold came, and their skin turned red! When the training stopped, these soldiers also laughed!

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes came from a distance, and three people came towards us on horseback from a distance! Someone in the barracks immediately greeted him!

"Who?" Someone asked loudly.

"Urgent military situation! Urgent military situation!" The three men were also wearing the military uniforms of the Song Army, and the leader at the moment said loudly.

"What emergency situation?" asked the soldiers in the barracks.

The three of them had stopped their horses at this moment, and the three of them got off their horses, one of them ran over and said, "Where's General Mo? Let him out quickly! It's an emergency situation from the military department!"

Hearing that it was an urgent military situation from the military department, someone immediately went to find General Mo who was in charge of the barracks!

Not long after, a general in his twenties ran towards here! He is the person in charge of this barracks, Mo Biao, the commander of the Third Army of the Northern Shaanxi Imperial Army!

When he came here, the cavalry who came to report immediately sent a letter from the general's headquarters!

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

"General, what's the matter?" A lieutenant next to him asked.

"We are going north to join the war! General Li Xianzhong sent an order. We will immediately go to Yan'an Mansion and join the army of Yan'an Mansion. The 100,000 Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army will enter the territory of Xixia within five days and conquer Hongzhou!" Mo Biao said.

"What?" The deputy general stayed there!

"Still going to call the army? Within half an hour, we have to pack everything up, and we have to go to Yan'an Mansion overnight!" Mo Biao said loudly.

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