Everyone saw each other and sat down again. Guo Jing asked with a smile: "Brother Li, I don't know yet, how did you get these horses?"

Li Haoran smiled indifferently and said, "Murder and robbery are not just the rights of the Mongolians. Guo Daxia, you have been guarding Xiangyang for many years. Haven't you ever thought of going north to do a big vote?"

Everyone was speechless. This guy was really enjoyable as a robber and was full of slander. However, Guo Jing still said, "I really haven't thought about this idea."

Li Haoran said, "I don't know much about the art of war, but I know that offense is the best defense, and even the strictest defense still has flaws."

Guo Jing savored his words and exclaimed: "Brother Li still said he didn't understand military tactics, but you were deeply involved in the art of military tactics."

Li Haoran smiled and said, "This time we went south, we killed more than a thousand Mongolian elites, so we also knew that Mongolian soldiers were not omnipotent, and it was not impossible to defeat them. It was just that the Song Dynasty has always pursued a strategy of defending but not attacking. It would be impossible to continue like this!"

Guo Jing sighed, "I can't do anything about the government."

Li Haoran knew Guo Jing's concerns well and couldn't help but say, "The Mongols won many battles. In addition to their bravery and good fighting, they also have a kind of belief that never ends. They regard wolves as their totem, and wolf nature is a better interpretation of the Mongols. Wolve nature is fierce and attack is their only choice. The north is bitter and cold, and winter is snowy. Not to mention enjoying it, even the most basic food to sustain life cannot be supplied. If they want to survive, they can only attack other countries. Every time the Mongols go to a place, they can kill, grab and burn it. Over time, attack becomes a habit of them.

A custom. Compared with all enemies, the Mongols are in a cultural and material position. Large-scale capture and plunder are always the reason and motivation to maintain their strong combat effectiveness. The desire for wealth has stimulated the Mongols to almost never stop launching wars to the outside world. The policy of the Mongols letting soldiers slaughter at will psychologically allow the blood bravery of killing to stimulate the warring sentiment and primitive courage of soldiers, making Mongolian soldiers extremely brave and barbaric soldiers. Wanted plundering partially solves the problem of logistics supply for Mongolian troops."

Guo Jing grew up in Mongolia. He knew the habits of Mongolians well and had already admitted Li Haoran's analysis in his heart. After a moment, he looked at Li Haoran with a bright look and asked expectantly: "Brother Li, according to what you said, do I really have no hope of winning in the Song Dynasty?"

Li Haoran sighed: "In my opinion, the Song Dynasty is now in troubles internally and externally, and is in turmoil. But there is still hope, because the Song Dynasty has several advantages that Mongolia does not have."

Guo Jing's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously: "What are the advantages?"

Li Haoran has been thinking about this matter these days, and he said calmly: "First, the people are available. Under the oppression of Mongolia, the Han people in the north miss their homeland; Second, the resources are abundant, because the Song Dynasty is rich, so they are enough to support countless troops in food and grass weapons; Third, the Song Dynasty has a large population, so there is no need to worry about the source of troops; Fourth, the Song Dynasty's technology has always stood at the top of the world, and its military armor has always been better than Mongolia; Fifth, the Song Dynasty's sea transactions are frequent, and warships are better than Mongolia. When Mongolia goes south, a side army goes north along the coast, takes advantage of the emptiness of the north, and cuts them off.

In the back road, burning food and grass, Mongolia will be in chaos without fighting. Sixth, Mongolia will always adopt the three-light policy every time it takes a city, which also makes the military and civilians in various places firmly believe in defending the city, because they know that the day when the city is destroyed is the time when their families are destroyed, so everyone will join their enemies and swear to never surrender. Seventh, there are many martial artists in the Song Dynasty. If they are gathered together, they will be led by respected people to assassinate the opponent's generals and military advisors, and burn the enemy's food and grass. If they are successful, the general will collapse without fighting. That's what I think of for the moment. Guo Daxia, do you think my analysis is still correct?"

Guo Jing pointed and said, "Only after listening to Brother Li's words, I realized that the Song Dynasty had so many advantages, but unfortunately the emperor did not think so."

Li Haoran's eyes turned cold and he said indifferently: "If he doesn't think so, we will force him to think so."

Everyone was shocked. Everyone understood his thoughts and knew that he wanted to use extraordinary means to force Emperor Lizong to surrender. Guo Jing said in surprise: "Is this possible?"

Li Haoran smiled and said, "I can't help him. Ding Daquan was killed by me. Am I still at large? If we really do that, we will be loyal to the world and the countless suffering people. Who makes it difficult for this government to make the people happy!"

The more everyone listened, the more frightened they became. Li Haoran's words were already a rebellious person, and they were enough to destroy the nine clans.

Huang Rong quickly interrupted, "Brother Li, you once said that you were unwilling to work for Zhao, but now after hearing what you said, your ideas seem to have changed, and you are thinking about the people of the world everywhere. I am very curious, what made you change like this?"

Guo Jing has also discovered Li Haoran's changes and said happily: "Brothers Li are both civil and military. If they are willing to contribute to the people of the world, it is a blessing for the people."

"The cruelty of the Mongolian soldiers changed my mind. In the world, there is no pure land? As a Chinese citizen, I cannot remain indifferent, right?" Li Haoran's face was as deep as water and as light as ancient cypress, but these thoughts were indeed from the heart. In this life, he didn't know which ethnic group he belonged to, but in his previous life he was the Dong tribe among the fifty-six ethnic groups, so he regarded himself as a Chinese citizen.

Guo Jing didn't know that he was listening to his thoughts, but he was also very happy. He asked again: "Mongolia goes south, things are inevitable. Do Brother Li have any good ideas?"

Li Haoran thought for a while and said, "It's not my style to not fight back when beaten; I suggest that Daxia Guo take the initiative to attack, disturb the situation along the way, and hold back the steps of Mongolia going south."

Guo Jing sighed: "The Mongolian cavalry is strong, and Xiangyang does not have enough cavalry. The more than a thousand horses sent by Brother Li are just a drop in the bucket!"

Guo Fu said disdainfully: "I thought there was a good way? Who doesn't have such an idea? I still want to fight to the capital of Mongolia in one day."

Li Haoran ignored Guo Fu's ridicule. If he was scheming with a fool, what was the difference between himself and a fool? He smiled and said to Guo Jing: "Haven Guo, you have misunderstood my thoughts, and listen to my analysis."

Guo Jing was intrigued. He glared at Guo Fu and asked again, "What do Brother Li have any ideas? Let's talk about it."

Li Haoran smiled and said, "We went south this time and brought more than a thousand horses. Guo Daxia, do you want to know how we got it?" Without waiting for Guo Jing to ask, he said, "We did not snatch these more than a thousand war horses from the army, because we know that no matter how strong the martial arts masters are, they cannot defeat many people. Once they fall into the thousands of troops, they will only die. So when we encounter a large group of people, they escape, and when we encounter less than 300 people, we will attack them decisively. Along the way, we repelled more than ten hundred people and five three hundred teams. Because there was not enough manpower, we could only take more than a thousand horses south. It's a pity."

Guo Jing admired him: "Brother Li avoids the real and goes to the virtual, and deeply integrates the method of military strategy, which is really admirable."

Li Haoran smiled shamelessly: "I call this tactic guerrilla tactics. In short, it means: 'The enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy garrisons, I will fight, the enemy retreats and we will chase, and the enemy will win in guerrilla warfare; advance and retreat with great steps, lure the enemy into depth, concentrate troops, defeat each one, and annihilate the enemy in mobile warfare'."

Everyone savored his words carefully, and their eyes lit up, and they were shocked by them. Guo Jingxi said: "This tactic is suitable for the current situation of our army, and it is not much better than Wu Mu's suicide note."

Li Haoran smiled and said, "I have an idea. Don't we have more than a thousand horses now? And they are all marked with Mongolia. We simply select elite troops from the Xiangyang army and immediately form a thousand iron cavalry, and let them wear Mongolian armor and hold Mongolian scimitars. After the army was formed, they could go deep into the north, attack the Mongolian troops, and send war horses to Xiangyang continuously."

Guo Jing smiled bitterly and said, "There are some elite soldiers in Xiangyang, but they are all swords, shields, and spearmen. Their riding skills are very poor and it is difficult to form an army in a short period of time."

Li Haoran said: "This is the innate gap. The Mongols grew up on horseback since childhood, and they could become soldiers when they grew up. The Song Dynasty has always lacked war horses, and it is understandable that horsemanship is weaker than people. What I mean is that Guo Daxia first selects people who are proficient in horsemanship in the army, and then selects powerful masters among the martial arts people. It doesn't matter if they can't get all together. The remaining horses will be left for the soldiers to train. After that, when the cavalry sends horses, the trained soldiers will be able to go to the battlefield immediately.

.Over time, the cavalry in Xiangyang is like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger. Once the time is ripe, there is no need to be afraid of the Mongols head-on. In addition to consuming Mongolia's vitality, there is another advantage of forming such a team, which is to practice the courage of the Xiangyang soldiers and let them know that the Mongols are not invincible. As long as the Mongols are broken, the morale of the entire Song Dynasty will be greatly improved, and in this way, the people of the whole country can also strengthen the determination of the people of the whole country to fight against Mongolia."

Everyone was shocked by the blueprint drawn by Li Haoran. Guo Jing smiled and said, "I haven't thought that this cavalry has such benefits. Brother Li is really a god. It seems that you can solve any difficulties easily."

Li Haoran smiled and looked at Huang Yaoshi and said, "The Lord of Huangdao is powerful in the world and can do everything. I have something here for you to help you complete."

Huang Yaoshi said: "Little brother, it's okay."

Li Haoran said: "The Mongols' riding and shooting skills are invincible in the world, and this is far from comparable to the Song army. So, I want to make a batch of Zhuge crossbows for the original cavalry, and each one is equipped with two. Do you think, are you still afraid of his riding and shooting if you do this?"

Huang Yaoshi smiled and said, "The Zhuge crossbow has strong firepower, but its size and weight are too large, so it cannot be used by individual soldiers. It is mainly used to defend cities and camps. However, after the transformation of the horses, it is already suitable for individual soldiers to fight. I know the drawings, but the production process is complicated. Since the arrows are also made of materials, I am afraid that Xiangyang's property will not be enough to support it."

Guo Jing smiled and said, "Thanks to Brother Li's generousness, we have not used that batch of property yet. I am more than enough to buy materials, but there are very few skilled craftsmen in Xiangyang."

Feng Mofeng suddenly said, "Master, I know a little about the way to cast weapons. If I were to take the disciple, it would not be difficult."

Li Haoran smiled and said, "Things have been settled, everyone will do their jobs. I have a set of military training methods here. I will write it out to hand it over to Guo Daxia tonight."

Guo Jing smiled and said, "Brother Li's military strategy must be a shocking work. I am looking forward to it very much, and I hope my brother will publish a book as soon as possible."

Li Haoran said: "The matter of raising hands can be done in one night. As for other matters, it will be arranged by Guo Daxia."
