The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 261 Yinying Thunder

"The student Yin Yinglei met the emperor, and the grassroots Yin Yinglei met all the adults,"

"Student," I didn't respond for a while.

Yin Yinglei explained calmly: "Your Majesty, the student is a Jinshi in the second year of Jiaxi (1238), and served as governor of Hezhou in the second year of Emperor Baoyou (1254). He has no official position at present, so Caomin calls himself a student. also,"

At the court meeting yesterday, I didn't look carefully at the faces of the three candidates. Only then did I take a closer look at this person. For some reason, the name of an ancient man suddenly flashed in my mind. .

All scholars, as long as they have achieved fame, can call themselves students to their superiors, and Yin Yinglei's claiming to be so is justifiable.

I said calmly: "Yin Yinglei, sit down and start."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Yin Yinglei said after sitting down, "Your Majesty, my lords, a scholar like Yin is powerless, so if Yin is appointed as the envoy of the Lin'an War Zone, then Yin They will only count against the enemy, "

Judging from Yin Yinglei's appearance, he seems to be more exciting than the previous two, maybe this is due to his personality.

"The plan will come out,"

"Your Majesty, if I march to the north in three years, where will Your Majesty plan to send the soldiers from the Lin'an theater?"

After hearing this, I felt happy, this Yin Yinglei, no wonder Song Lizong didn't like it, this is an interview, it should be me asking him, he is fine, but he asked me instead, it seems quite consistent with the rumors, this person has a different way of thinking As an ordinary person, and bolder, even more courageous than Lu Xin, I smiled and said: "Yin Yinglei, what's the point?"

"Your Majesty, of course there is a reason for choosing an attack route,"

Regarding the Northern Expedition, my preliminary plan is to attack from multiple directions, and advance in parallel. With the assistance of the navy, I am also planning to go straight to the Beijing and Tianjin areas. Of course, these are just vague ideas.

"Since His Majesty doesn't want to make it clear, the students can make their own guesses," Yin Yinglei continued seeing that I was silent, "The students speculate that His Majesty wants the soldiers in the Lin'an theater to travel by water from Jingdong East Road (now Qingzhou, Shandong) Somewhere north of it straight up north,"

I was taken aback for a moment, staring at Yin Yinglei and said: "Jingdong East Road,"

"Exactly, Your Majesty, I have a clear advantage in facing the navy. Going ashore on the Jingdong East Road and directly attacking the hinterland of the Mongols may have unexpected effects,"

"Yin Yinglei, with only tens of thousands of troops in the Lin'an theater, aren't you afraid that your army will go deep and be wiped out by the Mongols?"

"Your Majesty, students continue to speculate on Your Majesty," Yin Yinglei said with a smile, "With His Majesty's spirit, he will not dispatch only one Lin'an theater, Sichuan, Xiangfan, and Lianghuai. It is possible that His Majesty will shoot four arrows at once. Besides, Of course, the students leading the soldiers in the Lin'an theater will not fight the Mongolian army recklessly,"

I have plans to go by sea, but as for whether I will be dispatched to the Lin'an theater, I have never considered it at all. My subconscious mind is to build a Marine Corps similar to the future generations.

"Then what do you want?"

"Your Majesty, the students are of course afraid, but it's useless to be afraid. If Your Majesty entrusts the students with important tasks, then the students can only go. The students have thought about it, don't stop fighting recklessly, take the fight if you can beat it, and fight if you can't beat it The way to go, there is still a chance, "

"It sounds like guerrilla warfare," I wondered to myself. Could it be that Yin Yinglei had contact with the four envoys.

"Go, where to go,"

"Your Majesty, Jingdong East Road is flat and suitable for the development of the Mongolian Cavalry Army. Naturally, the students will not stay there. Go west, and then go west. The students actually didn't fully think about it. They just have an intuition. Go west all the way, thousands of miles Moved to the Taihang Mountains, "

"Taihang Mountain,"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the steep terrain of Taihang can obviously restrain the strengths of the Mongolian cavalry army. Our Lin'an theater is dominated by infantry troops, and we can rely on the danger of Taihang to occupy the mountain as king. If the Mongols want to destroy our army, they must Surrounded by several times the troops, according to the current strength of the enemy and us, they are basically evenly matched. The tens of thousands of soldiers led by the students in the Lin'an theater can at least hold back the enemy's [-] troops, which eases the burden of the other northern expeditions. The students only need to persist until I defeat the enemy from all directions, and then fight out from the mountains, cooperate with the inside and outside, and wipe out the vital forces of the Mongolian army in one fell swoop. In this way, great things can be accomplished.”

Regardless of whether Yin Yinglei's plan is feasible or not, the boldness of this plan alone is enough to shock the people present. Even Shi Yanzhi, who has rich military experience, feels that Yin Yinglei is bold, and he can't help secretly praising Yin Yinglei for his courage.

You must know that if the [-] troops go deep into the enemy's rear, they are very likely to be completely wiped out. Yin Yinglei's plan is somewhat similar to the feat of Liu Deng's army leaping thousands of miles into the Dabie Mountains, but once they gain a firm foothold, it is indeed like inserting a knife in the enemy's heart. a sharp knife.

Lu Xiufu asked: "Mr. Yin, what if the Mongolian army doesn't come to surround?"

"Then we will attack everywhere, and when we encounter an unguarded city, we will seize it. If there is a large army, we will avoid it. In short, our Lin'an theater appears in the hinterland of the Mongols in the form of bandits or bandits, like a sharp knife It will be turned upside down at any time, "

Lu Xiufu blurted out: "Bandits, rogues, isn't this just a huge guerrilla war?"

"Guerrilla warfare," Yin Yinglei also showed surprise, "What is guerrilla warfare?"

I smiled and said: "Yin Yinglei, I'm here to ask you. Landing from the sea, it's a thousand miles away to reach the Taihang Mountains. Let alone a large army, it's not easy for an army of tens of thousands to go to war. What do you think What are your plans?"

"Your Majesty, due to the rush of time, the students did not have a comprehensive and detailed plan, but if they want to travel thousands of miles, they can only break it up into pieces and try to walk through the small and inaccessible trails. , finally assembled at the foot of the Taihang Mountains, and then turned the parts into wholes, "

I went on to ask: "Even if it is possible, how can the supply along the way be done?"

"Your Majesty, the student just said that after entering the north, our war zone exists in the form of rogues, so every Mongolian government, every rich Mongolian family, and the rich family of the original Jin Kingdom are our granary."

"Root,"

"That's right, Your Majesty, this is the same as the Mongolian army did in the early days, relying on war to support the army,"

This Yinyinglei is really a piece of guerrilla material. There is no food or clothing, and the "enemy" comes forward. There are no guns or cannons. The "enemy" made it for us.

Fan Wenhuan exclaimed: "This is no different from the behavior of robbers."

I nodded and said: "Fan Aiqing, the process is not important, the result is what I need, whether it is a bandit or a regular army, as long as the task can be completed, it is right. Yin Yinglei, there are two major difficulties in your plan. One is how to reach the Taihang Mountains, and the other is how to survive in the Taihang Mountains after arriving. For these two points, you can give me a detailed plan, no matter who is finally appointed as the envoy of the Lin'an theater, and it doesn't matter whether I will send the Lin'an theater from the waterway Advance, I will study your plan carefully,"

"Yes, Your Majesty,"

"Okay, Yin Yinglei, what else do you want to say?"

"Your Majesty, of course, the students just talked about the future tasks of the war zone. Once the goals and tasks are determined, they need to conduct targeted training in advance. Although the students have not officially served in the army, they also know that I am facing the Israeli infantry. Mainly, before the Northern Expedition, this point cannot be changed. Therefore, in the battle, the generals of our dynasty must be clearly aware of the situation, make good use of the environment, maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses, and concentrate superior forces to fight the war of annihilation. In this way, It is only possible to achieve the ebb and flow of one and the other, and gradually change the number of soldiers on both sides, and finally form a situation where the more fight the less. If the students take the post of commander in the theater, the students' main energy will be on training generals rather than training soldiers , because military training is not the strength of students,"

Lu Xiufu asked: "Mr. Yin, in your opinion, how can we concentrate superior forces?"

"Lord Lu, what Yin said was to concentrate superior forces, and this did not refer to military forces alone. Once the Lin'an theater penetrated deep into the enemy's interior, such an opportunity could only be found in mobile warfare to create an advantage. The victory will be determined in one battle. Then withdraw, "

I praised: "After withdrawing from a battlefield, look for the next fighter again, so the cycle is repeated, not limited to one point or one side,"

"Your Majesty, the student is exactly what he meant,"

With a thought in his mind, Lu Xiufu suddenly said: "If the enemy advances, we will retreat; if the enemy is stationed, we will harass; if the enemy is tired, we will attack; if the enemy retreats, we will pursue."

"Well," Yin Yinglei looked at Lu Xiufu after thinking for a moment, and then sighed after a while, "Master Lu, you are incisive, incisive, Yin is not as good as Yin, and Yin will definitely come to ask for advice in the future, and I hope Master Lu will not hesitate to give you advice. "

Lu Xiufu smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that Lu Xiufu didn't answer, Yin Yinglei said anxiously, "Master Lu looks down on Yin."

"No, no, no,"

"That's why,"

"Mr. Yin, because it was not Lu who said this, if there is a chance in the future, Lu will definitely introduce you,"

Yin Yinglei clasped his fists and said: "I still have such a talented person in my court, Mr. Lu took the trouble to think about it, and Yin is very grateful."

Seeing some off topic, I said, "Yin Yinglei, do you have anything to add?"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, another point is that the students will train a small battalion. Although the northern land is my old land, after all, it has been lost for more than 100 years. Most of the local people grew up under the rule of Jin Kingdom or Mongolia. Therefore, the students will send this espionage battalion to return early to find out the local environment and try to cope with it. This is very important, and we need the help of the DPRK-China espionage department.”

"Well, of course there is no problem with this, Yin Yinglei, if you don't have any, just quit first,"

"Wait, Your Majesty, there is one last point,"

"Speak,"

"Your Majesty, for the soldiers in the war zone, in addition to following our normal training methods, the students will also add a field survival skills training. Otherwise, after arriving in the Taihang Mountains, they will not be beaten to death by the Mongolian soldiers, but they will be tortured by the harsh environment. die,"

This Yin Yinglei is like squeezing toothpaste, and a little bit will pop up after a while. I know that the preparation time given to them is only last night. Many of Yin Yinglei's ideas may have been improvised during the interview.

"Okay, if you have any other ideas, let's put them together in the memorial, Yin Yinglei, step down," I said without giving him a chance, "Next one, Fan Wenhu,"
