1495. Reconsider attacking Yuan

The palace at night seemed a little cold.

Because Zhao Dongting's harem was not huge, he himself was not interested in the red tape. Therefore, the palace was far less complicated than before.

There is snow falling.

Slowly falling in the fire.

Only at this moment, more than ten people led by eunuchs toward the imperial study room.

The leaders were Wen Tianxiang, Su Liuyi, and Zhang Jue, these three giants in the Song army. Behind them were Liu Zhuwen, Yue Peng, Su Quandang, Shi Kaiji, Liu Hongyi and Huang Hua.

Then there are the Minister of War Zhong Jian, the Chief of the Flying Army Ren Wei, and the Chief of the Flying Dragon Army Zhao Da.

This can be said to have gathered all the top generals in the Song Dynasty.

Only the Tubo military region was not in the sequence of the attack on the Yuan Dynasty, so Miao Cheng did not appear here.

Everyone looked a little solemn. The emperor summoned him late at night, and they knew what was going to discuss.

The bumper harvest last year can basically set the issue of attacking the Yuan Dynasty this year.

And this is undoubtedly a top secret.

Therefore, after arriving at Deyu Study, everyone's faces looked even more awesome, and even Zhao Da was not as carefree as before.

Zhao Dongting came to the imperial study room after everyone arrived.

Before everyone could salute, he waved his hand and walked towards the bed.

On his desk, there were several thick stacks of information. A map was spread out on the table, which was a map of the Yuan Dynasty.

After Zhao Dongting glanced at everyone, he said, "Don't be restrained, come here!"

Everyone walked to the bed, looking at the map on the desk.

Zhao Dongting said slowly: "After the grain collection last year, a large amount of grain has been hoarded in all parts of our Song Dynasty, and the Ministry of Finance still has surplus silver, so we can buy food from the people at any time. If there is no major disaster this year, I think our Song Dynasty has the conditions to attack the Yuan Dynasty. Do you have any objections to this?"

Wen Tianxiang and others shook their heads.

Zhao Dongting nodded and continued, "Since that's the case, the matter of attacking Yuan will be decided."

As he said that, he pointed to the piles of information in front of him and said, "These are all information about military and political officials in various parts of the Yuan Dynasty sent back by the Military Information Department and Skynet. I have asked someone to summarize it. You will take it back and take it back to take a look later. I will announce that you are here tonight to determine the policy of attacking the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty is vast, and it is not easy to defeat them. It is imperative to take the six major military regions together. Let's talk about your ideas first."

After saying that, he looked at Wen Tianxiang.

Wen Tianxiang looked at the map and pondered for a moment, saying, "Emperor, among the six major military regions of the Song Dynasty, Xianglong Military Region and Jiankang Military Region have gathered in the Yuan Dynasty. Xingguo Military Region is not too far from Nanjing Road. I think we can gather together with Xianglong, Jiankang and Xingguo Military Region first, and strive to defeat the Yuan general Yuanwuqi as quickly as possible, and give the Yuan Dynasty a first move. At the same time, Shuzhong, Dali and Zhenguo three military regions set sail towards the border of the Yuan Dynasty. Shuzhong, Dali Military Region directly attacked Jingzhaofu Road, and then headed northward. Zhenguo Military Region Coastal Road to Shandong East Road, and then, three large armies can advance together toward Zhongdu."

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly when he heard this and looked at Zhang Jue again.

Zhang Jue said, "Emperor, the Yuan Dynasty has many soldiers and generals, but I think they should avoid attacking the weak. Marshal Yue's Xianglong Military Region soldiers and Marshal Su's Jiankang Military Region soldiers have been confronting Yuanwuqi for such a long time. Both sides should have a clear understanding of the other's strength. Although Yuanwuqi has not led his army to fight, Yuanhuang did not send soldiers to Kaifeng Prefecture and other places to support him. It can be seen that they should have gathered enough troops in Kaifeng Prefecture and other places. Although we may catch them off guard by the Xingguo Military Region again, we may inevitably suffer heavy casualties. At that time, the pace of attacking Yuan will stagnate."

He and Wen Tianxiang are now in close contact, so they did not avoid Wen Tianxiang.

This was originally a matter of discussing military affairs. If you still take into account your face, you only need to speak Wen Tianxiang. No one else has to say anything.

Zhao Dongting nodded when he heard this, "You continue talking."

Zhang Jue continued: "Instead of confronting the Yuan army head-on at Nanjing Road and Yuanwuqi, it is better to confront them there first, and go up the coast of Zhenguo Military Region. At the same time, the two major military regions in Shu and Dali march towards Jingzhaofu Road. At that time, let's see how the Yuan army responds first and then make countermeasures. Although the Yuan army now has Shenlong guns, grenade launchers and other objects, their national strength is far inferior to our Song Dynasty, and the military system is not as perfect as our Song Dynasty. If the army gathers to suppress the southern border, it will inevitably waste the people and the money. Maybe we can disperse the Yuan army's forces in Nanjing Road. At that time, we can take advantage of the situation to destroy the Yuan army on Nanjing Road. Next, we will be able to fight."

Zhao Dongting did not express his opinion, and looked at Su Liuyi again, "Su Deputy Military Order, what do you mean?"

Su Liuyi looked at Wen Tianxiang, then Zhang Jue, and said, "I think Wen Junji Ling and Deputy Pavilion Master Zhang's words are both reasonable. But I think that since the Yuan army cannot march as quickly as our Song Dynasty imperial guards, it is burdened by food and grass logistics. Why don't we gather the troops from the six major military regions on Nanjing Road, first defeat the Yuanwuqi, and then go straight to Zhongdu with a broken bamboo force? As long as we take down Zhongdu, the remaining idle forces of the Yuan Dynasty will be difficult to hold on for a long time."

Zhao Dongting still did not express his opinion, and asked Yue Peng and others to express their opinions. Even Zhao Da said a few words.

When everyone finished speaking, the night was already deep.

After Zhao Dongting was silent for a while, he said quietly: "The Yuan army finally has objects such as the Dragon Gun and Grenades, which are not as easy to deal with as before."

His words made Wen Tianxiang and others' faces change slightly. Wen Tianxiang said: "The emperor means..."

Zhao Dongting said, "I think the attack on Yuan Dynasty can be slow, and it is necessary to attack them, but it is not advisable to take all our imperial guards on the Song Dynasty. Although our imperial guards are strong now, they cannot afford to lose. If the imperial guards encounter any setbacks in the Yuan Dynasty, I am worried that the Yuan army will take advantage of the situation to counterattack. When facing their attack, the Song Dynasty will be in chaos. If we take the Yuan Dynasty, we need to slowly plan it."

He stretched out his finger on the area of ​​Nanjing Road on the map, "The Yuan Dynasty gathered heavy troops here, so it is not appropriate to take them first. Take them. As Deputy Pavilion Master Zhang said, our Song Dynasty imperial guards would probably suffer heavy casualties. It is better to take Jingzhaofu Road and Shandong East Road than to take Nanjing Road, and Shandong East Road. My idea is to let Jiankang Military Region and Xianglong Military Region still watch with the Yuan army in Nanjing Road. The two major military regions in Shuzhong and Dali jointly unite Xiangyang Prefecture. The Kuizhou defenders first take Jingzhaofu Road. After taking Jingzhaofu Road, they can let Xiangyang Prefecture and Kuizhou Prefecture defend the city, so that Jingzhaofu Road becomes the rear of our Song Dynasty imperial guards, and then go north and go to Hedong South Road."

When Liu Hongyi heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Emperor, what about our Zhenguo Military Region?"

Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said, "Marantor Liu, don't be anxious. Both Zhenguo Military Region and Xingguo Military Region have the advantages of coastal areas. You can go to Shandong East Road along the coastal route, take Haizhou first, then go to Shandong East Road, and take Xundi and other places."

"The emperor means that the Yuan Dynasty has now taken root in the southern border, and then encircled Kaifeng Prefecture?" Wen Tianxiang said in surprise.

Zhao Dongting nodded, "That's true. Only by establishing a large rear in the Yuan Dynasty first can we advance or retreat. We will not fall into any dangerous places."

When everyone heard this, they were silent again.

Except for Zhao Dongting, the policies of others in this imperial study were indeed a bit too hasty.

Their previous policy cannot be said to be bad, but it is very dangerous. It is likely that they can take Zhongdu at extremely fast speed, but it may also cause the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty to be doomed.

After a while, Wen Tianxiang and others agreed to Zhao Dongting's policy.

Zhao Dongting slapped his hands on the table and said, "Then the attack on Yuan Dynasty will be decided. After the harvest and collection of grain this autumn, the military regions will obey the orders and prepare to attack Yuan Dynasty!"

As he said that, he looked at Zhong Jian again, "Shangshu Zhong, the escort of grain and grass in each city will be left to your Ministry of War. I will allocate the power of defenders in each city to you. Except for the two major military regions of Zhenguo and Xingguo, the major imperial guards marched lightly. On the way, the grain and grass are all supplied in each city along the way. Could the Ministry of War do this?"

Zhong Jian bowed and shouted: "Don't worry, my elders, I will not be humiliated!"

Zhao Dongting pointed to the piles of information on the desk and said, "Then all my dear friends will go back and take a look at these information first!"

Zhao Da and others held the information in their arms, and the crowd left the imperial study room.

Zhao Dongting sat alone in the imperial study room, dazed, and passed by for a long time before returning to the bedroom.

In the blink of an eye, it had been more than ten years since he arrived in the Song Dynasty, but he didn't know how long it would take to destroy the Yuan Dynasty.
