Chapter 144

(Add to update after reward of 5,000 yuan.)

"The Yellow River turned a bend from Weizhou, and changed its flow from southwest to northeast to southeast from northwest to southeast, and followed the southern part of Huazhou across Jingji Road and entered Jingxi Road."

Huazhou is like a corner growing from the north of Jingji Road. The west side of the corner is Hebei West Road, and the east side of the corner is Jingdong Road.

The diverted Yellow River departed Huazhou to the north bank of the Yellow River, while other prefectures on Jingji Road are located on the south side of the Yellow River.

"This is Xingren Mansion on Jingdong East Road, this is Dingtao of Guangji Army. The Yellow River flows through these two military palaces, causing the worst disasters between these two military palaces. Now, nine out of ten rooms are empty."

Both military palaces are located in the southwest corner of Jingdong and East Road.

"This is Shanfu County and Dangshan County, Jingdong Road, Shanfu County, and is a triangle with Yucheng County in Yingtian Prefecture. After the Yellow River enters this triangle area, it merges into the ancient Bian Canal, which is considered tamed. Therefore, these three counties, Shanfu County located in the west, were most affected, while Dangshan County and Yucheng County are lighter."

"There is Xuzhou after it. After the Yellow River crosses Xuzhou, it merges into the Si River and captures the Huai River and goes into the sea." Chen Xun introduced the new river channel of the Yellow River and pointed out the offensive of the Chen family army later.

Because you must travel along the Yellow River to get help and supplies from the navy, otherwise the Chen family would have to carry a supporting army of at least 5,000 people.

With the navy providing supplies in the Yellow River, Chen Xun only needed to carry five thousand dragon cavalry to fight, freely coming and going, and had super powerful mobility.

"We will revolve around the Yellow River this time, striving to defeat the Jin army in the south of the Yellow River, and hand over the others to the Allied forces." Chen Xun said.

The Allied forces of course refer to the King's Army and the Hebei Rebel Army.

As long as the Chen family army can chew off the hardest bones, the fool will do it if he fights the best in the future and falls into the water.

"In order to take the initiative, we must first attack the five cities on both sides of the Yellow River, namely the northwest, north, and northeast of Kaifeng, Jixian County, Weizhou, Jixian County, Huazhou, Changyuan County, Kaifeng Prefecture, and Dongming County, Kaifeng Prefecture."

The new Yellow River channel basically turned around the north of Kaifeng Prefecture. From the map, it seemed that it had a hat for Kaifeng Prefecture.

These five cities are all located along this section of the Yellow River, and are now in the hands of the Jin people, and are the retreat for the Jin army to return north.

If these five cities are captured, it will be equivalent to blocking the Jin people's retreat directly back north, and they will be able to directly take the initiative in the war.

The Jin people wanted to return north, either chose to attack these five cities, or circled from the west and east.

"As long as we capture these five cities, the surrounding royal army will definitely be mobilized to see hope. When the time comes, they will be arranged to defend the city. We will be able to fight outside, and this battle will be easy." Chen Xun said.

"Will these royal soldiers listen to us?" Sun Zheng asked.

"There is no need for them to listen to us. Just let them see the opportunity, and they will naturally seize it." Chen Xun explained.

These royal soldiers were able to come to Kaifeng from all over the world, essentially supporting the Song court and making contributions to combat. As long as they saw the opportunity to save the Song court and defeat the Jin army, they would naturally move.

Moreover, even if they did not move, Chen Xun could ask the Chen family's naval army to block this section of the Yellow River and prevent the Jin people from returning north. He could also recruit Hebei rebels to come, or directly recruit rebels from the five counties to defend the city.

Tactically speaking, it is important to capture the five cities. But strategically speaking, it is most important to reverse the active and passive situation between the two sides.

"What after conquering the five cities?" Lai Qingyun asked.

"The next one is guerrilla warfare." Chen Xun began to introduce the second phase of the offensive: "We started to attack their small troops going out to conquer grain from the periphery of the Jin army, just like wolves hunting wild horses. When they got the chance, they went up and bite them until they were exhausted and then hit them fatal."

There are snow pigeon communications, war horse maneuvers, and the information and intelligence advantages of the Chen family army are incomparable to the Jin people. Moreover, it is local warfare, and there are Song people around them, and they are all powerful Song people who are bullied by the Jin people.

If you share the same hatred for the enemy, the local people and the people are all on the Chen family's side, it will be easy to fight guerrilla warfare.

"Is there any other problem?" Chen Xun explained the combat plan and continued to answer some generals' questions. The meeting entered the next stage.

"Then what are the benefits we get when we fight this battle?" Sun Zheng asked.

Sun Zheng’s problem is very practical and is also a problem that Chen Xun must solve.

This is not in Guangzhou. Guangzhou is thousands of miles away from here, so we cannot publicize the soldiers to fight to guard our homes. Chen Xun could not cultivate his loyalty to the "Song" country.

Therefore, there is no way to talk about defending the country.

However, there must be visible benefits to stimulate the morale of the soldiers in combat.

"The income is the gold, silver and treasures that the golden man plundered in Kaifeng, skilled craftsmen and women." Chen Xun replied: "I promise that as long as the golden man can be prevented from going north with the robbed wealth, each person will be able to receive at least ten taels of silver after the war. For every killing of a golden man, he will be rewarded with ten taels, without a limit. Those who perform well can also marry a wife."

"Are the wife the palace maids in the Songguan family's palace?" asked a general.

"Yes, not only the palace maids, but also if they have outstanding military achievements, they can even marry the princess of the Zhao family." Chen Xun promised.

"Princess!!" Everyone was amazed.

Instead of giving these women cheaper to the Jin people or letting the Song people take them to marry, it would be better to let the Chen family army's meritorious soldiers marry home and love them.

Not only did it reward the soldiers' military achievements, it could also give these women a happy life.

None of the generals dared to mention Concubine Bin of the Emperor of Song. In their opinion, these women should be left to Chen Xun.

"Are these rewards enough for everyone to fight?" Chen Xun asked.

"Enough, too enough."

"If the men knew that they could marry a beautiful wife from the capital after winning the war, they would not kill the golden man like crazy."

"I have a wife, but I want to earn him a few hundred taels of real money and go back."

"Hehe, I not only have to earn a few hundred taels, but also earn another wife back."

Everyone had a lively discussion in the conference room for a while, and Chen Xun stopped them.

"Sort the mission now!"

"Yes! Governor!" Everyone stood up at the same time and responded in unison.

"Sun Zheng, you are responsible for leading the third battalion of infantry and the first battalion of musketeers to attack Changyuan County and Dongming County of Fengfu."

"Receive the order! Governor!" Sun Zheng clenched his fist to Chen Xun.

"Lai Qingyun, you are responsible for leading the third battalion infantry to attack Xinxiang County and Ji County of Weizhou." Chen Xun continued to assign tasks.

"Receive the order! Governor!" Lai Qingyun also bowed to Chen Xun.

"Ma Junying and Miao Dao Camp followed us to open Fengfu Changyuan County." Chen Xun ordered.

"Receive the order! Governor!" The two commanders bowed and accepted the order.
