The struggle of the reborn prince

Zhao Tuo sacrificed to heaven and earth in Beijing, worshiped the ancestral temple, sacrificed animals and flags, appointed a supervisor, arranged to stay behind, and went to Longde Palace to bid farewell to the Empress Dowager, and then drove out of the city. According to the custom, he drove ten miles out of the city and then camped in Qingchengzhai. [乐] [reading] [wort] novels. [-]us. com But where can Zhao Tun live, and ordered the guard of honor to be behind, he only brought the inner guards and a few Yuhou, joined the army, and under the protection of a battalion of guards, he went ahead in the name of advance, and Xiaoxing stayed overnight all the way to Pingzhou , left the brigade far behind, and caught Gao Chong and others by surprise.

"Marshal, Your Majesty has already arrived at the gate of the mansion!" The soldiers hurriedly reported.

"Ah, quickly open the door of the mansion, and follow me to greet you!" Gao Chong hurriedly greeted everyone in shock.

"No need, I'm coming in!" Everyone hurriedly adjusted their clothes and hats, and when they were ready to greet them, Zhao Tun had already stepped into the lobby.

"Your Majesty, you didn't inform me in advance when you came here, you made me mess up!" Gao Chong hurriedly greeted him, only to see that the emperor was still wearing an ordinary military uniform without a military rank, with a pistol in his waist and a long knife slung over his shoulder. Those who didn't know him thought it was just a veteran of the army.

"Haha, I just want to make a sudden attack on you, and see what your reaction is!" Zhao Tang pulled up a chair and sat down, laughing.

"Your Majesty has seen it all. We were all taken aback. We were in a hurry and haven't gone out yet. You have already entered the mansion. Let us be caught off guard!" Zhao Lian said with a smile. 'The emperor, otherwise he will have his head cut off if he treats Sheng Jia poorly with this one item only.

"Well, it looks like you are discussing a battle plan, do you have a plan?" Zhao Tang looked up at the messy map on the long case and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Gao Chong replied. "We are going to adopt the tactic of splitting up and attacking in two ways. After the infantry breaks through the trench, advance along the main road; the other way is to use the navy to carry the infantry to choose a suitable place to land and cut off the enemy's retreat. Gather and wipe them out."

"Oh, it's still the old routine of attacking east and west, fighting all the way and intercepting all the way, I'm afraid the Jin army has learned it!" Zhao Tuo said with a smile, "Now how does the Jin army arrange its troops, and where do you plan to land?" Without saying a word, He had already entered the state, and began to understand the current detailed battle situation, although battle reports were sent to Beijing every day.But after all, there is a lag, and the battlefield situation is changing rapidly.

"Your Majesty, because of the green hills and the Dajing River in the northwest of the territory under the jurisdiction of the Zuo Shuai of the Jin Army, and the dangerous Liaodong Bay in the south, a narrow strip less than two hundred miles wide is formed. The Jin Army passed from the coast to the northwest in Laizhou. A boundary trench was built from Sanzhou Mountain, Wuzhi Mountain to Gouhe, and [-] garrison troops were deployed to guard it. After learning that our Song Dynasty pledged to conquer the Northern Expedition, Wan Yanliang ordered the supervising army to leave and lead the reinforcements to Laizhou for defense. Among the ten thousand people, Wanyan Nieer is the commander of the army. He is still in Jinzhou." Gao Chong introduced.

"Well, in this way, there are only two roads leading to Liaodong. One is the road near the bay and passes through Laizhou, which is connected to our Qianzhou road; the other is from Zezhou to Yuzhou and enters Jinguo to Xingfu along the border. The main road on Hebei. As long as the enemy guards these two main roads, they can prevent us from going north by land, and the defense situation is much better than that of the Youshuai Mansion." Zhao Tong said, looking at the map.

"That's right, so we plan to feign an attack on Laizhou by land. Sending a navy to carry horse infantry to land behind the enemy can cut off the enemy's retreat and prevent the enemy from Liaoyang from reinforcements; The goal. But now there is still a dispute about landing in Xizhou or Jinzhou. It cannot be decided..." Then Gao Chong reported his and Zhao Lian's views in detail.

"Your Majesty, now that you are here, we don't have to argue anymore, please make a decision!" Zhao Lian said with a smile.

"If I decide..." Zhao Tuo looked up at the crowd waiting for him to make a decision, and said, "In the current situation, I think it is most appropriate to attack Liaoyang Mansion, what do you all think?"

"Hit the Liaoyang Mansion?!" Everyone's jaws were about to drop from shock. The emperor is worthy of being an emperor, and he is more courageous than all the people here combined. This time, all the more than [-] troops of the Jin Army and the two prefectures were encircled. .

"Yes, let's fight Liaoyang Mansion. You see, Liaoyang Mansion is located at the throat of Liaodong, with convenient water and land transportation. In the early stage of the war, we were backed by the border to facilitate logistics and supplies, but entering the hinterland of the Kingdom of Jin has to be transported thousands of miles. Once we occupy Liaoyang Mansion, we can transport materials by water, ensure the supply of various ministries, greatly reduce the logistical pressure, and reduce the number of civilian laborers.” Zhao Tong said, not only the military status of Liaoyang Mansion, but also the military status of Liaoyang Mansion. There is also the importance of geographic location.

"That's true. The Liao River enters the sea through Liaoyang Mansion, and the navy can go upstream to Xinzhou, which is only three hundred miles away from Huining Mansion. Not only is it convenient for us to transfer the supplies hoarded in Pingzhou and Yanjing, but we can also directly transport them from the southeast. Adjust the grain and enter Liaodong." Zhao Zhi agreed with the emperor's proposal very much, once this proposal is implemented, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

"Well, Your Majesty is wise, the Jin army would not have thought that we would use the navy to assist in the battle, thinking that we would give priority to landing in the area under the jurisdiction of the Zuo Shuai's mansion, and never would have thought that we would skip them and go straight to Liaoyang mansion, which can have an unexpected effect And seizing the Liaoyang Mansion will cut off the retreat route of the enemy's Zuo Shuai Mansion, and losing the reinforcements will definitely cause them great panic. At that time, the soldiers will have no fighting spirit, and we can drive in." Gao Chong pondered for a moment, and had to I admire the boldness of the emperor's vision and the accurate positioning, and he caught the enemy's Achilles' heel in one fell swoop.

"Your Majesty, spring has just started, the rainy season has not yet arrived, and the river is not full of water, making it difficult for warships to navigate!" As the emperor's chief adviser, Zhao Lian had to tell the truth and pour some cold water on everyone.

"Is it possible to navigate or ask someone who has witnessed it!" Zhao Tuo didn't blame Zhao Lian for singing a different tune, and waved to Wang Heng who was standing behind, "Wang Heng, you once attacked Liaoyang Mansion back then, and you know the situation there very well. authoritative."

"Your Majesty, your subordinates entered Liaoyang Mansion in the winter. In March, the Liaohe River was already open for boats. The Dengzhou Navy once wanted to send in aid by water, but it failed because the golden army scuttled the big ship and blocked the entrance to the sea. But from this we can see that at least the 'Yang-class' warships can sail. Later, we reached an agreement with the Kingdom of Jin to enter the sea from the Liaohe River in May, and the ships we took were all large ships, so it can be seen that there is no problem with the 'Yong-class' warships." Wang Heng briefly explained Thinking back, he replied that he was deeply impressed by this incident when he led the tiger general to stay in Liaoyang alone.

"Your Majesty, the military inspector once went deep into the Liaoyang mansion for reconnaissance. It is precisely because our warships have entered Liaoyang that they have set up a navy in Liaoyang, and they have pulled iron chains to block the river and prepared large ships. Once they find that our navy is trying to enter Liaoyang The ship was scuttled to seal off the seaport, so the subordinates thought that attacking Liaoyang first would not be the best strategy." Zhao Lian continued to pour cold water on him.

"Then I have to ask Ma Wei for advice. Your navy has the ability to remove these obstacles!" Zhao Tong asked Ma Wei who was on the side.

"Your Majesty, there is no problem!" Ma Wei stepped forward to salute, "We can use naval guns to blow up the iron chain blocking the river. The army was completely annihilated by our navy in the Battle of Koryo, and they have not been able to recover over the years. They only have a few small boats of thousands of dendrobiums that dare not enter the sea at all, and can only stroll in the inland river, nothing to worry about!"

"What questions do you guys have?" After Ma Wei finished speaking, Zhao Tuo looked at everyone and asked, but no one said anything else, "In this case, you can consider my suggestion, as for how to fight, it is your business. On the road, the horses and horses rushed here, and the adults should also take care of a warm meal!"

"Your Majesty is damned, please wait a moment, your Majesty, please order someone to arrange it immediately!" Gao Chong woke up suddenly, he was really negligent, His Majesty discussed the war with the generals for a long time without having a cup of tea, and he repeatedly apologized road.

"Okay, all of us have been dining with His Majesty for many years, so Marshal Gao will prepare more food and wine, so that we can cleanse His Majesty!" Seeing this, everyone coaxed them to have dinner with His Majesty.

"This..." Gao Chong looked at the emperor with some embarrassment, asking for his opinion.

"What are you waiting for, hurry up and join the table!" Zhao Tang smiled and waved his hands, which reminded him of the scene when everyone started a business together, and now they are creating great achievements again... (To be continued.. )
