That night, the center of Hulie Mansion, the commander of the Datong garrison army, the king of the Hedong army, and Zhe Kecun participated in the military discussion together.

During the military discussion, Sima Huo Liuge officially reported the news that the Jin army was about to invade, which immediately caused shock.

Most civil and military officials held an attitude. The strength of the Jin Kingdom was incomparable to the strength of the Song Dynasty. Although the Han King Li Hu led the main force of the Huli Army to expedition Helan Mountain, resulting in the weak defense forces on the Yanyun line, there are currently more than 100,000 troops in Daibei, and Youyan has 100,000 troops from Guo Yaoshi, which is completely capable of resisting the Jin army. Judging from the current situation of the Jin Kingdom, domestic rebellions have occurred many times since Wu Qimai ascended the throne. In the case of internal instability, he neither had the strength to go north to conquer the desert, nor had he had the need to rebel against the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the reason for saying that the Jin army was about to invade south is really far-fetched.

When Huang She saw that everyone believed in the general, he had to make some speculations to attract enough attention from civil and military officials.

"From the current national strength of the Jin Kingdom, it will be very difficult for it to conquer the desert in the short term, because its financial income is very limited." Huang She said, "If it captures Yanyun, its population and financial income will increase sharply. Everyone knows that more than 60% of the financial income of the Great Liao Kingdom comes from Yanyun and is not difficult to see from this that the Jin Kingdom covets Yanyun and has been coveting the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun for a long time. In other words, for this reason, Huanglong Mansion will go south to invade."

"In addition, rebellions in Hebei, Shandong and other places in the Song Dynasty repeatedly suppressed unfairly. Natural disasters in the capital, Shaanxi and other places have brought huge troubles to Bianjing and seriously consumed the national strength of the Song Dynasty. This is also an important reason why the Jurchens chose to launch an attack at this moment." Huang She continued, "And the Han King went to Helan Mountain to fight hard with the Xia army, which led to insufficient defense forces on the front line of Yanyun. This is even a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Jurchens had no reason to miss such an opportunity."

Huang She's speculation was reasonable and convincing, and those officials who were originally suspicious were shaken. So during the heated discussion, the civil and military officials at the Hulie Mansion and a group of generals gradually formed a consensus.

Since it is confirmed that the Jin army is about to invade, the Hulie Mansion will mobilize all manpower and material resources to ensure the safety of Datong. Therefore, we must guess the time and direction of the Jin army's invasion site and the attack direction of the invasion, and then make targeted arrangements to avoid being caught off guard and causing chaos.

"If the Jin army invades, the best attack time should be before the heavy snow comes." Luo Qinghan said, "The Jurchens knew that it would take at least more than a month if the main force of the Han King and the Hulie Army wanted to withdraw from Helan Mountain. However, if the heavy snow falls and the weather is bad, the time will be extended to two months or even more, which can give them a longer attack time."

It is now winter, and there is only more than a month before the snowing days. Hu Lie Mansion needs to adjust its troops in more than a month, and call on the township soldiers and civilians to prepare for the battle.

"The primary target of the Jin army's invasion south is definitely Yanyun, Datong and Yanjing." Luo Qinghan continued, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Jin army will invade two ways, attack Youyan and Datong. The two ways will attack at the same time, and one way will be the main attack and one way will be the feint. From the perspective of the entire Yanyun battlefield, I think the Jin army should put the main force on the Youyan battlefield, because once the Jin army occupy Youyan, it can attack Hebei, and then advance westward can attack Datong. On the contrary, if the Jin army uses the main force to attack Datong, even if the Jurchens succeed, they will encounter Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass next. The attack is very difficult and far less convenient than going south to attack Hebei. Hebei is richer than Hedong, and in recent years, Hebei rebellions have been repeatedly, and the situation is very chaotic, which is conducive to the attack and killing and looting of the Jin army."

Luo Qinghan's inference was approved by most people. The Jin army suffered a defeat when it attacked Datong last time. This time, when the troops did not have an absolute advantage, they might not dare to fight. In addition, Li Hu could withdraw from Helan Mountain in one or two months. If the Jin army did not capture Datong before Li Hu returned to the aid, then the battle would be defeated again, and the Jurchens would obviously not repeat the same mistakes.

The Jin army gathered its main force to attack Youyan. Can the 100,000 garrison troops of Youyan Guo Yaoshi block the Jurchens?

Judging from Hu Lie Mansion, the answer is no. The Song army failed to recover Pingzhou Road, resulting in no danger in the southeast direction of Yanjing. Unless Guo Yaoshi and Changsheng Army defended Yanjing City to death, Youyan would be lost.

"If Guo Yaoshi relies on the strength of Yanjing City and defends the city to the death, then we will have a chance to defeat the Jurchens."

Luo Qinghan walked to the map and pointed to Fengshengzhou on the map. "The last time the Jin army attacked Datong, and repeatedly fought with us for Fengshengzhou. It can be seen that they knew very well that seizing Fengshengzhou was the key to conquering Datong. This time they attacked Datong again. From common sense, their main force must first attack Fengshengzhou."

"The Jin army took Fengshengzhou and went west, and could attack Datong in two directions, and attack Yanjing in the east. As long as the Fengshengzhou is captured, even if the Jin army failed to conquer Datong in this battle, they could definitely capture Youyan, and they still won."

"So, as long as we defend Fengshengzhou, we will take the initiative in the battlefield

Luo Qinghan said, "Just wait for the King of Han to come back and defeat the Jin army in Datong, not only can he defend Daibei, but he can also take advantage of the opportunity to enter Youyan and ensure the safety of Yanjing."

Huang She frowned slightly when she heard this. Luo Qinghan was just talking about the matter. There was no mistake in this countermeasure, but he seemed to have forgotten Li Hu's northern strategy. The reason why Li Hu attacked Helan Mountain in the west was to lure the Jin army to invade south. The Jin army went south and Bianjing was in danger. The emperor of Bianjing was not allowed to ask Li Hu for help, and asked Li Hu to go south, and then the next local affairs would be easier. Did Luo Qinghan really forget? Huang She looked up at Luo Qinghan, and the two of them looked at each other.

Luo Qinghan smiled slightly, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes. Huang She knew that he was too worried, and smiled, and his eyes turned to Zhe Keqiu. Zhe Keqiu's expression was always serious, and he exchanged glances with Wang and Zhe Kecun from time to time. Obviously, the three of them could not accept the fact that the Jin army was about to invade south, but seeing that the civil and military officials of the Hulie Mansion were all facing a great enemy, they had to believe it. The barbaric Jurchens actually dared to fight against the Song Dynasty? They were so brave that they had to eat the courage of the bear heart?

"At present in Fengshengzhou, we have the Feiyun Army of Yunshu, the King of Hell Army of Guishu, the Yunhai Army of Longshu, and the Liaoxi Army of Tianshu, a total of 35,000 people.

"Luo Qinghan pointed to Juyong Pass on the map, "Ghost Commander's Hell Army is in Juyong Pass, Yun Commander's Feiyun Army is in Yehuling and Taoshan, Long Commander is in Shenjing Fort, and Tian Commander is in Guihua Prefecture. Thirty-five thousand people are stationed in four places, and the troops are dispersed. If the Jin army launches an attack, Fengshengzhou will obviously not be able to defend it, so we must increase our troops immediately."

"Now Tie Shuai is in charge of the three armies of the Iron Soldier, Thunder and Yunshuo, with 30,000 troops. These 30,000 people cannot move. They must stick to Yunnei to ensure the smooth withdrawal of the Han King to Datong. The Wu Yongjun of the Dao Shuai stationed in Shuozhou. They must ensure the safety of the Pitouzhai, and the safety of the Feihu and Lingqiu Ancient Road. The troops are already short of force and cannot move."

"In this way, reinforcements can only be drawn from Datong. Currently, there are the first, third, fourth, eighth army, Heishan army and Liangshan army, with a total of 50,000 troops. These 50,000 troops are currently distributed around Datong, stationed in Dezhou, Zhenchuan Fort, Khahukou, Qing} Road, and Huairen. If drawn, Datong's defense will have problems."

Luo Qinghan said this and his eyes turned to Zhe Keqiu. Zhe Keqiu knew it clearly. He smiled and turned to look at Wang and Zhe Kecun. The two nodded at the same time.

"Master Luo, if you really have no troops to adjust, we can go to Fengshengzhou to fight." Zhe Keqiu said on his own initiative, "But Bianjing, Taiyuan Grand Marshal's Mansion and Lianghe Xuanfu Department have repeatedly warned us, asking us to ensure the safety of Datong at all costs. Our responsibility is to protect Datong, so if you want to transfer us to Fengshengzhou battlefield, you must obtain the consent of Prince Yun and Tongshuai."

Luo Qinghan nodded with a smile. The purpose of Bianjing dispatching the Hedong Army to the north was to seize Datong when the Jin army launched an attack, while the purpose of Prince Yun and Tong Guan was to help Hu Liefu guard Datong so that Li Hu could do his best to attack Helan Mountain. However, Prince Yun and Tong Guan both had to listen to the emperor. At the critical moment, who could guarantee that they would not betray Hu Liefu? So although Li Hu agreed to Taiyuan, he asked Hu Liefu to station the Hedong Army in different places to minimize the threat to Datong by the Hedong Army. Now Luo Qinghan wants to call the Hedong Army, but in the same way, he did not dare to transfer all the Hedong Army to the battlefield in Fengshengzhou.

Luo Qinghan walked to Luo Sinan and whispered a few words. Luo Sinan frowned slightly, thought for a long time, and said in half: "I will immediately write to His Highness Prince Yun and Tong Xuanfu. I believe they will agree, but considering that the Jin army may launch an attack at any time, can Zhe Shuai lead the army to the battlefield in Fengshengzhou first?"

Zhe Keqiu hesitated for a moment and discussed with Wang and Zhe Kecun. The three of them were very afraid of the princess. This princess was once a fierce general in the Liaodong rebel army. She has shown extraordinary strength in Datong over the years. Looking at the current occasion, the central officials of the Hulie Mansion and the military commanders were respectful to her, which shows her excellence.

"I will bring six generals to Fengshengzhou." After discussing with the two deputy generals, Zhe Keqiu immediately said, "Shi Shuai Wang will bring four generals to stay in Datong." Seeing Luo Sinan's eyes cold, Zhe Keqiu hurriedly explained, "Please understand our difficulties. If I bring all ten generals to Fengshengzhou battlefield, I may be in trouble in the future."

Luo Sinan curled his lips lightly, and a hint of disdain appeared on the corner of his lips, "Can Wang Shuai's four generals guard Qing: Dao and Huairen?"

Zhe Keqiu agreed in one go. Qing: Dao and Fengshengzhou are connected, Huairen and Shuozhou are connected. Neither of these two places will contact the Jin army at the beginning of the war, which will help the Hedong army preserve its strength.
