(Oh, too, the great alliance rewards, full of gratitude.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The west wind broke through the door all night, and the lonely house was filled with light. Looking back at the mountain for three thousand miles, I saw no geese flying in the south of the mountain."

The front line of Zhuozhou, Di Lie held a horse and ordered the messenger to return it to Zhao Ji, and his handwritten handwritten handwritten. The front of the pen is the poem given to Ma Kuo by Zhao Ji when he left. On the back are a few shocking words "Taishang"

Being assassinated, the Prime Minister of the State did it.”

Zhao Ji was cowardly for half his life, and even his way of death was so cowardly, but he was afraid he would not know until his death. His death sounded the drum of the Northern Expedition and the death knell of the Jin Kingdom.

From this point of view, Zhao Ji's death was at his disposal.

"Welcome back to the Two Saints and return my rivers and mountains" has always been the common political slogan between Tianshu and the Southern Song Dynasty. Although both Tianshu and the supreme leader of the Southern Song Dynasty were not at all interested in welcoming the Two Saints, the slogan was to be shouted in shock.

Sky-high price.

The two emperors have become a political symbol and an important political bargaining chip for the Jin Kingdom. When this bargaining chip is crushed, the Jin Kingdom will inevitably be pushed to the forefront of morality.

Although in fact, Zhao Ji's death was an accident, it had nothing to do with Prime Minister Wanyan Zonghan... But who asked the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion who killed Zhao Ji? Moreover, Wanyan Xiebao also corpses on the spot - he was fully catching the evildoer.

The chaotic scene of I kill you and you kill me. As my father and the prime minister, Wanyan Zonghan can't escape this responsibility.

Once the news of Zhao Ji's death was spread, the whole country was in a turmoil. Everyone was shocked. Eight hundred miles of urgent reports were reported from north to south. Wherever they passed, officials and people cried and looked at the sky and worshiped. The Southern Song Dynasty court three days after the dynasty was terminated, and the whole country was mourned.

The government and the country were in a raging mood, denounced the beasts of the Jin Kingdom and called for joint northern expeditions with the Tianzhu Army, which was rampant.

In April, the third batch of support materials was opened from Yangzhou and flowed northward, and this batch of materials and service capacity was the sum of the first two batches - this value was far beyond the secret discussion of Di Lie, Zhao Qi and Zhao Jiu.

The amount of payment is considered the added value of Zhao Ji's death.

Also in April, Di Lie, the leader of the Tianzhu Army, submitted an ultimatum to the Jin Kingdom. Within one month, Wanyan Zonghan was handed over and paid 100 million yuan in compensation. He handed over the twelve states of Youyun to comfort the spirit of the Supreme Lord in the Heaven. Otherwise, the Heaven

The generals of the army were killed to raise an army of 100,000 to avenge the Emperor of Song.

Di Lie's revenge is natural, Zhao Ji is his real old father-in-law. His son-in-law is like half a son and half a father-in-law is like no better reason to raise troops than this. Even the Jin Kingdom had to admit that Di Lie had to take responsibility for revenge

Right.

But, is it possible for Jin State to agree to these extremely harsh conditions? It is absolutely impossible without thinking about it!

Di Lie did not expect, nor did he even want Jin Guo to agree, so he delivered the ultimatum to Yanjing the moment before, and immediately ordered the Northern Expedition to mobilize the general mobilization.

The Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition were selected for the opposite time.

The Jin army invaded the south in September, with high autumn and heavy horses, cold climate, the most beneficial to combat; then, in April of the following year, before the weather was hot and the military was exhausted, they would definitely return to the north.

The Tianzhu Army's Northern Expedition was just the opposite. The battle must be started between April and May, and then ended before the end of the year. Otherwise, the cold weather would become a hundred times more terrifying enemy than the Jin soldiers.

Most of the southern generals in the Tianzhu Army may not understand this, but how could Di Lie, who came from a military academy, not know? For an expeditionary army, the most terrifying thing is not the enemy, but the climate. Napoleon, Hitler, these

All European heroes were defeated under the Siberian cold wave at the peak of their lives.

It is better to fight hotly than to chill. This is the general principle of the Northern Expedition.

In mid-April, the entire Tianzhu army was swearing to the Northern Expedition on the 600-mile front.

The commander of the Tianzhu Army will establish the Northern Expedition Army today, with the First Reorganization Division, the Second Reorganization Division, the Fourth Reorganization Division, the Bohai Division, the Tianbo Division, the Qin Feng Army, the Hunting Barracks, the Guard Battalion, a total of sixteen brigades and six

The camp (four battalions of Tianbo Division) totaled 60,000 soldiers and horses. These were pure warriors and auxiliary soldiers. If the Tianshu forces and Qinfeng Road, the Southern Song Dynasty and other personnel supported, the entire army would have more than 80,000 people.

Commander of the Northern Expedition Army: Di Lie, the leader of the Tianzhu Army.

Second coach: Yang Zaixing, He Yuanqing, Guan Zhongyong, Zhang Rong, Guan Sheng, Qu Duan.

Chief of General Staff: Ling Yuan.

Deputy Chief of Staff: Zhao Neng.

The combat objectives are as follows:

The Northwest Front, the Fourth Reorganized Division and the Qin Feng Army had five brigades, totaling 30,000 troops. They went out of Yanmen Pass and divided into three groups to surround Yingzhou, Shuozhou and Wuzhou. After taking down the three states, they joined forces to capture the Yunzhong Prefecture of Xijing.

.When Yunzhongfu comes, the situation in the northwest will be settled.

On the northern line, the second reorganized division came out of the Great Wall, took Feihu and Lingqiu, and finally captured Weizhou, cut off the contact between the two capitals of the Jin Kingdom and Yan, and threatened the two capitals from the flanks.

On the Northeast Line, the First Organizer and the Bohai Division jointly eliminated the twelve Youyun states, the strongest troops, the most stringent defense, and the most important terrain of Youzhou Yanjing!

In addition, there is also a surprise soldier that must be used - Tianbo Division and Hunting Battalion.

On the third day of the fifth month, on Zhuozhou, above the Zhengtang of the State Yayi, Di Liezheng, Ling Yuan, Zhao Neng and a group of staff members studied maps, placed sand tables, and performed war games. The entire main hall was regarded as a combat staff room, and the atmosphere was tense and intense.

The guard's notice came from outside the door: "Report to the military leader, Commander Zhang, General Han, and Commander Liang, he was ordered to come."

Di Lie threw the charcoal pen in his hand at the table and smiled and said, "It's coming very quickly, okay, please come in."

The three people who came in, the tallest and strongest were the commander of the Tianbo Division; the one who was agile and strong-looking was Liang Xing, the commander of the Hunting Barracks. As for the burly man in the middle, it was Han Shizhong!

That's right, Han Shizhong is here too.

After Zhao Qi ascended the throne, he had transferred all Wang Yan, Li Gang, Han Shizhong, Yuwen Xuzhong's family and others to Tokyo in accordance with the agreement with Di Lie.

After nearly half a year of silence, Han Shizhong finally agreed to take up the position of deputy commander of Tianbo Division, under the invitation of Sheng Yiyan of the Tianbo Division, and came forward to gather the old troops of the officers and soldiers who were disbanded in the Battle of Huang Tiandang that day. More than a month later

, more than 2,000 old subordinates were collected, and more than 5,000 old subordinates were collected, and more than 5,000 were formally incorporated into the Tianbo Division. The Tianbo Division finally broke through the Grand View of 10,000 people.

The Northern Expedition, how could Han Shizhong miss such a glorious battle? He firmly demanded to go north to participate in the war. With the approval of Di Lie, the leader of the Tianzhu Army, he agreed to participate in the war.

Compared with Han Shizhong, Wang Yan was much more stubborn. He never offered several invitations to the Tokyo Military Chief Zhang Li. However, news has been heard recently. The death of Zhao Ji made the general angry.

Please come and personally volunteer. You will gather the former Bazi Army's former subordinates to participate in the Northern Expedition.

Zhang Li was overjoyed and was about to submit the official position of the official who had already passed the Tianzhu Army, Di Lie, who had already approved the issuance of the official title of the official of the Tokyo Deputy Lieutenant, and the commander-in-chief of the Eight Character Army.

Wang Yan came out of the mountain, but it was not as easy as Han Shizhong. Han Shizhong summoned the broken army. Wang Yan's Eight-Character Army had long been dispersed and merged into the various armies of the Southern Song Dynasty. He wanted to secretly spies in the Tianbo Division and the Secret Bureau.

With the assistance of the Southern Song Dynasty, he went to the various military camps of the Yangtze River Defense Line to poach the enemy. This work will not be completed for a while. I hope he can lead his army to participate in this glorious battle before the success of the Northern Expedition.

It was Di Lie's first time to meet Han Shizhong. He respected this general who trapped Wu Shu in the Battle of Huang Tiandang and made great contributions to the Tianbo Division's complete annihilation of the main force of the Jindong Road Army. In another time and space, this

He was a famous ancient general that Di Lie looked up to, but in this time and space, he became his subordinate.

Di Lie and Han Shizhong touched each other and nodded and smiled. The soldiers' understanding was so simple. Di Lie would not feel that it was unnatural to drive Han Shizhong - even Yue Fei became a member of his subordinate, let alone Han Shizhong.

"You come and see." Di Lie greeted the three generals to come to the sand table.

The combat sand table in front of me was made by the painter and skilled craftsman from the survey team of the General Staff Operations Department. It took a full six months to make the sand table. It showed the Tokyo, Beijing and the Beijing countries in detail.

The terrain of Yanjing Third Road.

Di Lie pointed the baton in his hand at Niguzhai in Cangzhou, then pointed to the Bohai Sea along the Haihe River, then paddled towards the Liaodong Bay along the Bohai Bay, and finally knocked on a small island, saying: "This island is called Juehua Island,

From this island lands, it means entering the Beijing Road of Jin Kingdom. To the north is Jinzhou, to the south is Zongzhou, and to the west is Lizhou. These three states and Juehua Island form a Pin shape, with an attack range of fifty to eighty

Within the inner three states are located near the sea and away from the main battlefield of Yanjing, the most important thing is that the Jin army has limited strength and troops, so the Jin Kingdom has only a few hundred soldiers and horses stationed in various states.”

Liang Xing had been hunting soldiers for a long time and had already adapted to the surprise attack. His eyes were naturally following the direction of the three states on the sand table, and he glanced to the west. He suddenly stretched out his hand and his eyes shone: "Da Ding Mansion! The target is here.

!”

Di Lie nodded in praise: "That's right, after capturing these three states, the Tianbo Division was divided into two, Han Shizhong's troops guarded Jinzhou, Zhang Rong guarded Lizhou, and as for Zongzhou and Yanjing's enemies, they would be unable to take care of it. Liang Xing led the way.

Hunting Battalion, give full play to the advantages of cavalry warfare, and cut off all support from Dading Prefecture to Yanjing!"

This is the first time Han Shizhong has seen such an exquisite sand table. In addition to being novel, he even praised it and said that if there is such a sand table in every battle, he will have a chance of winning by five points.

Zhang Rong compared his fingers on the sand table and said, "It took about 500 miles to Juehua Island from Nigu Village, and it was about 700 miles away. In addition, it was found that it could stop and rest, and it took ten days to fill it.

It's right."

Di Lie put down his baton, looked around the generals, and said solemnly: "Half a month has passed since the ultimatum issued by our army. I will give you half a month to launch a landing from Juehua Island on May 18th.

War. The military strategy is to win with the right combination and the strange victory. Our troops on the front line of Zhuozhou are dignified soldiers; your joint landing force of cavalry and infantry are strange soldiers from the sky. Cut off the enemy's backbone, disrupt the enemy's morale, and win by surprise.

It depends on you."

Zhang Rong and Liang Xing looked at each other and laughed: "Military Master, you should be optimistic."

Han Shizhong asked a question: "What if the Jin people really agreed to the three conditions proposed by the military leader?"

Di Lie said lightly: "The Jin Kingdom is not the Song Kingdom, and such humiliating conditions cannot be agreed! The Jurchens are still wild. However, if they really agree, there are only two possibilities: one is the delaying strategy; the other is the chaos of the Jin Kingdom.
Chapter completed!
