Chapter 1,625 Strategy

When the old comrades met, it was naturally a lively meeting, and the compliments were not in vain. Everyone went to the combat command room and chatted while looking at the map.

Entering the command room, Su You was happy when he saw the big map on the wall.

Just looking at the map, one would think it was the Liao Kingdom's combat command room.

Maybe even they don't have such a detailed map of their country.

This is what Su Song, Chao Buzhi, Li Shuanshu, Zhang Shangying, Li Yong, and Zhao Xiaoyi achieved after decades of taking turns.

Of course, the local compradors of the Liao Kingdom also contributed a lot.

Except for the lower one-fifth of the map, which is the Ningxia Road and the Hebei Third Road of the Song Dynasty, the remaining four-fifths are the territory of the Liao Kingdom, including all the Xijing Road, Zhongjing Road, and Nanjing Road.

There is also a map on the side of the hall, which does not include any territory of the Song Dynasty. It is the Shangjing Road of the Liao Kingdom, the Nvzhi-controlled areas and Goryeo.

There are only two leased islands in this map controlled by the Song Dynasty: Zhangzi Island and Ludao.

Su You only glanced at it and pointed to a place: "At the mouth of the Yalu River, on the other side of Baozhou, under Xuanzhou, why is there an extra Yizhou? When did the Liao Kingdom build another city there?"

Zhong Shidao smiled and said: "Jie Shuai is very concerned about the situation in the Liao Kingdom. You can tell it with just one glance."

"The place was not created by the Liao people. It was originally a temporary residence for the straight women who traded with Zhangzi Island. Later it gradually turned into a large town. Now it has a pine wall built there, so it can be regarded as a city."

Su You understood: "The Liao people don't care about this..."

Zhong Shidao said: "It's not that we don't care, but that we can't control it. Now the entire area on the east bank of the Huntong River and the Yalu River is basically under the control of the Wanyan Department."

Su You asked: "This doesn't make sense. Now that Yelu Hongji has two more granaries in Liaoyang and Changchun, and has implemented a millet-dividing system with Tatar and Nuzhi, why hasn't he settled there yet?"

Zhong Shidao explained: "It is precisely because of the introduction of the millet system that one-tenth of the output of the Changchunzhou granary went to Nüzhi. After Nüzhi was no longer short of food, there was no chance to exchange goods with the Liao people.

, they changed the direction of trade to Zhangzi Island, so there was an extra Yizhou at the mouth of the Yalu River."

"Now it seems that the Liao people's policy of restraining poison has quenched thirst and made the women's straights stronger and stronger."

After saying this, he handed over to Su You: "This policy was made by the Liao people under the guidance of Commander-in-Chief, and I admire him very much."

Su You waved his hand: "Don't make trouble. I just wanted to let everyone have something to eat and don't always come to beat me. The autumn wind of the Song Dynasty, but I really didn't expect it to turn into what it is now."

"Straight women shouldn't take it lightly. Now that we have a good relationship, we need to increase our understanding and penetration. We are not outsiders here. We all need to be aware of a problem."

"It's about how to deal with the issue of straight women if we become the masters of Hun Tongjiang in the future."

Zhong Shidao slapped the big eight pills on his waist and said: "No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you can knock him down with one shot. Aguda can't resist the thunderbolt cannon!"

Uh, what you said makes sense, Su You complained in his heart, but on the surface he still reminded: "This is the truth, but when you go deep into barbarian areas, the biggest enemy is often not the indigenous people, but the local climate and environment.

.”

"On this point, we have to learn more from the indigenous people, do you understand?"

Master Zhong stood at attention: "Yes!"

Su You looked at Su Lie: "Mr. Lie, you are running further and further north. Can your body still bear it?"

Su Lie is nearly 60 years old this year, his hair and beard have turned gray, and he has reached the age of becoming a duke.

This man can be called a legend of the Song Dynasty. If he were not limited by his cultural level, he should have entered the Privy Council of the Military Administration.

However, now I have gone to the Royal Military Academy to get gold plating, which can be regarded as making up for this shortcoming.

Su Lie smiled and said, "I'm not as meticulous as my younger brother. What's wrong with this? At least I can run faster on the plains than in the mountains."

In fact, Su Lie's growth experience is closest to the growth experience of many early generals in the invincible army of modern China.

Su Lie was almost born to be comfortable with the fighting methods of the Erlin Division, the later Hoan'an Army's fighting methods, and the later fighting methods after switching to hot weapons.

The New Army's guerrilla warfare methods were explored by Su Lie relying on his own war talent, and they were fully displayed in the Yingliguan sniper battle.

Three thousand men were used to pin down the 60,000 Xia army, and they were beaten so hard that they could not move forward. As a result, the senior officials of the Xia State seriously misjudged that that would be the main direction of the Song army's attack. They over-adjusted their forces, leaving an empty rear area. As a result, Su You stole the chicken.

Successfully captured Xingqing Mansion in one fell swoop.

This is a treasure and must be protected. Su You plans to let Su Lie work for a few more years. After helping the front line to repair the bunkers, he will go to the Royal Military Academy to develop guerrilla and night warfare subjects and teach his skills to the commanders of the Song Dynasty.

.

Zhong Ji asked Zhong Shidao to take the baton and put down the konjac glue film rolled on top of the map. There were countless densely packed arrows on the map.

This is a preview of the battle. The Song army now has sufficient detailed operations and intelligence, and is well aware of the situation of the Liao state armies, at least in the area south of the Great Wall.

Judging from the map, Zhongjie and Chaogu arranged this battle based on the assumption that they would only rely on the Hebei New Army to independently win the war against the Liao Dynasty.

As Cao Nan said, the Song Dynasty would use its navy to divide the southern part of the Liao Kingdom from the Sanggan River and the Luan River respectively.

The army attacked from Baigou, defeated Guiyi, Fanyang, Zhuozhou, and reached Liangxiang to join the West Route Navy to complete the first phase of the strategy and establish an advance base.

At the same time, the East Route Navy entered Luanhe River, went north to capture Luanzhou and Lulong, and directed its troops to Jingzhou, making a posture of cutting off the retreat of Xijin Prefecture.

The middle route navy first dispatched with the west route, captured Wuqing, and then moved to Lushui, a tributary of the Sanggan River, to capture Lu County, cut off the connection between Jinfu and Yuyang, carry out siege and reinforcements, and annihilate the troops coming from Yuyang.

There is vitality.

After the main force on the West Road captured Xijin Prefecture and the first phase of the strategy was completed, the New Army on the Hedong Road attacked the Taihang strongholds such as Lingqiu, Feihu, and Yixian.

At this time, it was completely meaningless for the Liao people to defend the Taihang Fortress. These three heavy troops could only turn around to rescue Xijin Mansion, and they would be forced to carry out a second siege on the Sangqian River for reinforcements.

After that, the war situation became more active. The army took Xijin Prefecture as its base and relied on the Sanggan River as a food route. It could attack Fengsheng and Guihua to the northwest, which is the Zhangjiakou area in later generations. It could attack Tanzhou to the north, which is the Miyun area, and to the north it could attack Tanzhou, which is the Miyun area.

Dong Ke and the Luanhe Marine Corps attacked Jizhou and Jingzhou from east to west, completing the second phase of the strategy and occupying the area south of Yanshan on the Great Wall.

After the completion of the second stage, the goal of the Song Dynasty monarchs to conquer Youyan was completely completed. However, in Zhong and Chao's plan, they still had to rely on the favorable conditions of the Luanhe River to continue to capture Bei'an Prefecture and Zezhou.

It is the Chengde area. Relying on the mountains from Modouling to Shiziling, it is arranged as a peripheral defense line. It can advance, attack, retreat or defend, directly threatening the central capital of the Liao Kingdom.

At this point, the strategic goals of the Hebei New Army have been completely completed, and the Liao army will be completely mobilized.

However, in the next step, the Hebei New Army will no longer be aggressive and focus on defense. The Song Dynasty will rely on the Beiyang Navy and use Zhangzi Island as a base to launch the Liaohe Strategy.

It should be said that the derivation of this battle situation is quite reasonable and very safe. Using waterways as food routes, with the ability of the Song Dynasty navy, there is no worries about the retreat, and it is basically invincible.

It can be imagined how much effort the Hebei New Army below Zhongjie and Chaogu have put in over the years.

However, as soon as Zhang Kai's strategy came out, Zhong Ji voluntarily gave up his own strategy, or in other words, postponed its implementation until the northwest strategy was completed, which was a huge sacrifice.

After listening to Zhong Execution's explanation, Su You handed him over and said: "Commander Zhong, don't worry, it's still the same saying, fight sooner or later, fight sooner or later. It takes time to build the inland navy. In recent years, we have just taken advantage of it."

The daimyo's inland river transportation to dominate the two states put this strategy into practice."

At this time Wang Yanbi came in and said: "The envoy, Liu Shunqing, the magistrate of Xiongzhou, is waiting outside. He said that the envoy from the Liao Dynasty has arrived at Baigouyi. Yelu Shensi, who is staying in Zhongjing, heard that the envoy was in Xiongzhou and asked for an interview."

Su You said: "Song and Liao are brotherly states and have been on good terms for decades. Especially in recent years, the Song Dynasty has spared no effort to help the Liao Kingdom politically, economically, and culturally, and the relationship between the two countries has turned a new page."

"See Yelu Shensi, it's actually nothing."
