"If we say that the Jin thief is strong or not? Of course, it is strong. In just twelve years of its establishment, it destroyed the Liao Dynasty and seized so much land in our Song Dynasty. Even the former Emperor Zhuangzong died in the battle with the Jin thief! In the past, when the Khitan was prosperous, it was not so sharp!

But if we say they are invincible, that is nonsense! Not to mention anything else, we won the battle of Wei County, the battle of Niangzi Pass, the battle of Punishment, the battle of Taiyuan Prefecture to relieve the siege, and the battle of Daizhou under the leadership of the official family. It can be seen that although the Jin thieves are powerful, they are just like this when they meet our official family!"

The person who brags for Zhao Kai at the banquet set up in the mansion in Ruzhou Camp today is actually Yue Feiyue invincible!

What? Yue Fei also flatters?

No, this is not a flattery, it is a fact!

And Yue Fei now comes up with these facts, of course, for brainwashing, no, for ideological education!

Those who are confused and have "money-phobia" and need to be washed clean are not only the soldiers and civilians below, but also the officers from Qu Duan, Li Yongqi, Miao Fu and other troops!

A soldier is timid, and a timid will be timid!

So after Li Yongqi (Ye County, Xiangcheng, stationed in Ruzhou) and Miao Fu (Changshe County, stationed in Yingchang Prefecture) arrived at the Ruzhou camp in Liang County, Zhao Kai did not immediately lead them to protect the grain north. Instead, he held a wine and feast in the Ruzhou camp, and in the name of receiving the wind and dust, he invited Quduan, Li Yongqi, Miao Fu and the officers under their command and above, and while eating and drinking, he brainwashed them.

Although the troops of Qu, Li and Miao have all undergone "mand transformation" transformation, and the entire army is affiliated with the military office, and have implemented the "Twelve Medal System". The entire army has changed from "working soldiers" in the Song Dynasty court to "shareholder soldiers", and the whole family is in the military office and Zhechong Mansion, and they can fight for the Song Dynasty without any concern, but the troops of Qu, Li and Miao are the foundation of the Western Army after all. The three old seniors of the Western Army, Zhong Shidao, Yao Gu and Liu Yanqing, were all killed by the Jin soldiers in the Battle of Wannian Xindi!

There are many fathers and brothers in the army of Qu, Li and Miao, so they never return!

So before the war begins, Zhao Kai must treat the officers of the Jingyuan Forehand Army (Qunun), Huanqing Forehand Army (Miao Fu's), and Fuyan Forehand Army (Li Yongqi's) with good treatment for the monsophobia.

The officers already have land, wives, and money, so they can't rely on temptation alone. They have to present facts, reason, explain the strengths and weaknesses of the Jin soldiers thoroughly, and then explain the ways to deal with them clearly.

This will convince them and relieve their citruphobia.

So Zhao Kai asked Yue Fei: "Pengju, you have resisted the Jin thieves for many days in the Punishing Army. During this period, you continued to go out of the city to attack the thieves and won a lot of gains. Later, they rescued Taiyuan and defeated Daizhou and were all vanguards in the two battles. They must have a very good understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the Jin people, right? Why not tell me to everyone?"

"So that the officials know," Yue Fei replied seriously, "The strengths of these Jin thieves are actually three. The first is that the Jin thieves' soldiers can generally prepare for three battles and fight, shoot arrows and fight at the same time. In addition, they are physically strong and strong and durable, and can fight hard for a long time. Therefore, if a Jin thief soldiers are used well, they can be used as three combat soldiers!

The second is that the Jin thief Maduo not only can travel long distances, but also have the initiative on the battlefield and can point to fight wherever they are. What they are best at is using heavy cavalry to fight wheel battles, and they are fighting one of our points. The second is to use war horses to quickly transport heavy armored infantry to fight our weaknesses.

Our previous tactics were mainly to deal with the Khitan and Western thieves. Although there were many horse troops, they focused on cavalry and shooting, and were not very good at rushing, and they were even less good at dismounting and fighting. Therefore, our insurgent formation was equipped with bows and crossbows, and they ignored the fighting soldiers that could use long spears and big axes. Therefore, when encountering the impact of Jin soldiers and heavy cavalry or armored soldiers, they were easily defeated.

The third is that the Jin thieves have strict military disciplines and are prohibited. The battle formation is tight. Not only can the infantry and then fight and fight without chaos, but even the cavalry can form formations and charge, and they can keep the formations from dispersing when charging!"

Of course, the Jin soldiers are powerful!

The three points mentioned by Yue Fei alone have determined that they are worthy of the strongest army of this era. It is not the strongest army in East Asia, but the world's number one!

Because the defeated general of the Jin soldiers, Yelu Dashi, arrived in the West, defeated the army led by the then Western overlord Seljuk Turkic Sultan Sanjar in the decisive battle of Katwan, causing the Seljuk Turkic Turks to fail to recover!

The defeated generals under his command are so powerful, you can imagine how powerful the Jin thief is.

However, the Jin Thief is still an army composed of normal people, and its members are not all like special forces in later novels and movies. They can fight dozens of them at one time.

In fact, on the battlefield where the two armies confront each other, the limited role of personal courage is not completely useless, but we cannot point to this to fight the whole world.

Especially when the two armies are fighting in a formation, everyone has regulations on their movements. If they cannot perform their martial arts at will, they are better than having greater strength and more endurance and more practical!

"What about the weakness of the Jin thief?" Zhao Kai asked while looking at the officers present, and putting their expressions into view. If anyone looked scared, he would be transferred to the imperial edict in front of the imperial court and immediately sent it to him.

Fortunately, few people need to be transferred from their posts

"The weaknesses of the Jin thieves are actually very obvious, and there are three," Yue Fei said, "first is that they are not good at attacking the toughest. Since the war between the two countries, all cities that our army is determined to defend have not been broken.

Second, they like coolness and fear heat. The golden thieves are in cold places. We think the cold weather is nothing to them. But the heat that we still tolerate can make them dizzy.

Third, the Jin thieves were not good at fighting in rugged mountains. The battles at Niangzi Pass and the battles at Pacifying the Army were all fought in rugged mountains. The advantages of the Jin thieves' cavalry could not be exerted and the army could not be deployed, which led to failure."

Zhao Kai smiled and took over the topic and said, "It's March now. Although the weather is not hot, it's not cool. And the place where our army transports grain north is not open, there are many mountains, forests and rivers to rely on. We can also use the method of building hard villages to fight stupid wars against the golden thieves when the situation is unfavorable."

He paused, and the smile on his face became stronger, "I just received a military newspaper from Han Liangchen. Now, the five armies led by Han Liangchen and Huang Wuji are south of Xingyang. Relying on Songshan, Songzhushan and the confrontation between the Jin thieves and the tens of thousands of Jin thieves will advance to Dengfeng, and the Jin thieves in the Mi County area have completely resisted.

Now we have the opportunity to take advantage of it. We can transport grain into Yique first, and then join Wang Yuan from Yingyang, concentrate the forces of the four armies, wait for an opportunity to advance towards Dengfeng, and gather the Tiance troops on the northern line to concentrate our efforts to defeat the golden thieves stationed in Dengfeng!"

The plan Zhao Kai now said is an upgraded version of the plan proposed by Yue Fei in Guangwu Mountain. The upgraded part is to add the link of transporting grain into Yique.

This change was proposed by Quduan, and the reasons were full of Luoyang's granary itself was a strategic victory!

Its significance is no less than the elimination of tens of thousands of Jurchen gold thieves at one time!

Because the competition for Kaifeng Prefecture in Guangwu Mountain is likely to last for a long time! Moreover, the peace of Hedong will not last for too long. During this period, the Northern Army of the Jin thieves was conquering cities and territories on Hebei territory except Zhaozhou, Cizhou, Delong Prefecture, Xiangzhou and Huaizhou to suppress the pro-Song rebel army.

Let me add that [app] is really good, it is worth pretending. After all, you can cache reading and read offline!

After Hebei is settled a little, the Northern Army of the Jin thieves is likely to invade Hedong. It is estimated that after this fall, due to the difficulty of transporting there in Hedong, if the Jin thieves invade in the spring and summer seasons where it is not easy to grab food, the Song army will easily "hungry" the Jin thieves.

So the invasion of the Golden Thieves will most likely be in autumn!

The only way to be feasible in Hedong is to defend the northern line, and confrontation on the southern line is Li Shimin's trick to confront Song Jingang.

This requires Zhao Kai’s court to take out enough food to consume it!

So now we transport more grain into Luoyang, and when we consume military food in the future, we can make up for the more money.

Therefore, after repeated weighing, Zhao Kai still agreed to Qu Duan's opinion. The strategy of using the method of transporting grain first and then fighting is actually more secure. With the support of Yique Granary, Zhao Kai's army can use confrontation methods to waste the golden thieves in Dengfeng.

Of course, you can choose not to fight, so you can be at ease.

Since Zhao Kai adopted Qu Duan's opinion, of course he had to stand up and promote it, so he smiled and said, "It's better for the official to play. Yesterday, I transported some grain from Nanyang. In addition, the grain that originally existed in Ruzhou had more than 200,000 stones. This time I happened to be transported to Yique City together.

With this batch of food, we will only be able to consume you and the Jin thieves around Dengfeng! If we can defend hard, we can continue to transport rice from Rushui Camp to Yique from Yique at a time, and at most three months, we can transport more than 2 million stones of rice into Luoyang. Then we will rest assured!"

Listening to his words, it seems that he still doesn’t want to fight to the decisive battle and still has to focus on being greedy!

However, Zhao Kai didn't want to worry about it, and he had to wait for the opportunity to fight the decisive battle. Confrontations in ancient wars were often very long, and it was possible that this matter could not be planned early after one or two years. Maybe the Jin thieves retreated when they saw the Song army brigade heading north from Ruzhou?

Seeing that the officers present showed relaxed expressions, Zhao Kai felt that everyone's cowardice had been cured, and it was time to ban grain from the north!

So he stood up and announced loudly to the officers attending today's banquet: "I have decided to protect the food in three days. The whole army will go north to Yique first, and then to Yingyang. In order to avoid the news leaking, and to ensure that the generals can accumulate energy, I will close the camp in these three days, and no one is allowed to enter and exit without my order!"
