Northern Song Dynasty: It’s a showdown, who said I, Zhao Zhen, don’t have a son?

Chapter 135 I’m just going to give you a plan, why are you letting me go to the battlefield?

In Qinzhou Prefecture, Han Qi and others were discussing.

Wei Pi, the military envoy, Xiao Jue, the deputy governor, and several generals under his command.

"Kunlun Pass has been built for many years. It was carved from granite in the early years, but it still doesn't have much defense power today. It's best to use gunpowder to break the city and lead the troops to enter."

One person shook his head: "That is granite after all. If you fail to blow up the lost military aircraft, you might as well use the method of digging ore, shoot kerosene with a bow and arrow on the city gate and then ignite it. When the temperature of the wall is high, wash it with cold water." , the natural structure of the wall was damaged, and then gunpowder was used to attack..."

Everyone nodded: "This is a good idea, but the elephant soldiers and Jiaozhi people will definitely be dispatched..."

Han Qi pondered for a moment, and then told him the method Zhao He had told him before. Everyone was surprised after hearing this.

"It's a clever way to attack it with fire, isn't it?"

“But I’ve never heard of this method, and I don’t know if it’s feasible.”

"Haha, if that fire oil were poured on you and set on fire, would you panic? No matter how big the elephant is, it is still a living creature after all. How can you not be afraid if your body is burned?"

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

"But explosives must also be placed on the marching route."

A group of people were discussing strategies, and the sound of soldiers reporting came from outside the door.

"Han appeased the envoy, Zhao He asked to see him."

Han Qi was slightly confused, why did he come to see him at this time? Didn't he meet him just now?
Xiao Jue chuckled and said, "Zhao He, even I have heard of that guy who makes soap. Why did he come to Lingnan during this time?"

Wei Pi said slowly: "It seems that he is here for business and has met Han Anping Envoy."

"Businessman, it's not a big deal, but at such a young age..."

Han Qi waved his hand: "Let him come in."

Zhao He arrived soon. Seeing so many people, he probably guessed that they were discussing the war against Jiaozhi.

Han Qi smiled warmly and said: "This person is the one who figured out how to deal with the elephant soldiers. Although it has not been put into practice yet, since you think it is feasible, it will be similar."

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this.

"You actually know the tactics of marching and fighting?"

"Haha, that's interesting. No wonder I got to know Envoy Han."

"Young Master, I don't know why you came here this time. I'll listen to it just in time."

Zhao He raised his hands and saluted: "I have met all the generals."

Han Qi smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"I came here this time because I thought of a way to conquer Jiaozhi as soon as possible."

Everyone present fell silent almost instantly.

Thinking of a way to conquer Jiaozhi?This boy?

One person immediately laughed and said: "In that case, it doesn't hurt to listen. If you have new ideas, it will be a blessing."

"But you seem to be still young and have never been on the battlefield. How can you do anything?"

Han Qi was also curious and said: "Please tell me and listen."

Zhao He nodded. As for the elephant soldiers told by Liu Tong, Han Qi had already had concerns, so it was of no use to speak, so he directly expressed his thoughts.

"Jiaozhi is arrogant and causing trouble on the border of the Song Dynasty. It is obvious that the Song Dynasty is not taken seriously. However, if Han Anping envoys mobilize their troops to prepare for war, the other side will definitely take it seriously."

"The connection between the Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi is at Kunlun Pass. Once Kunlun Pass is broken, the gate of Jiaozhi Kingdom will be gone, and the Song army will be able to march straight into Shenglong City."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

They were discussing this matter just now, that is, this is the plan.It's actually pretty good for a young man to see this.

"Is there nothing else?"

Zhao He continued: "So the Jiaozhi Kingdom must send a heavy army to defend the Kunlun Pass. The Jiaozhi people reminded Xiao Xiao that they knew they were defeated by the Song Dynasty, so they could capture the city with a head advantage. Even if many people died, as long as they could not capture the city pass, in fact, The Song Army was simply defeated."

Han Qi frowned slightly. Everyone was discussing how to break through the city gate. You said it failed?
Is it too unlucky?

But they still listened to Zhao He.

"After all, it is the territory of the Jiaozhi Kingdom. They are familiar with the place and will definitely do everything possible to protect the city gate. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Song Dynasty army to conquer it for a while."

"We all know that Thang Long City, the capital of the Jiaozhi Kingdom, is located along the coast, very close to the sea, only a dozen miles away."

"If our army's formation is huge and we make a move that is bound to break through the Kunlun Pass, and the opponent will definitely mobilize a large number of troops, and the imperial city is empty, we can go in single-handedly and catch him by surprise..."

Everyone, including Han Qi, was shocked.

A feint? Because it was a sea route, they didn't consider this at first.

But if this is the case, it seems that we are really sure of victory!
And to conquer Shenglong City in one fell swoop?

Han Qi stood up suddenly, looked at the map hanging on the wall, then picked up a brush and drew circles on the map.

"They will never abandon Kunlun Pass. After all, once they abandon Jiaozhi, they will have no way to defend themselves. They will definitely hold on."

"Recruit the people, put on soldiers' clothes and armor, distribute weapons, increase the momentum, and put pressure on Zujiazhi from the front. Li Huangma will definitely not watch the Kunlun Pass be broken, and will definitely send a large army to support."

"We will take three thousand elite troops and cross by boat at night. If they are not prepared, we can reach the mainland of Jiaozhi in just one night. Then we will directly enter the imperial city. This battle can be defeated!"

Everyone stood up suddenly, what a plan!

Zhao He was also surprised. He didn't expect that Han Qi had already outlined the direction of the battle just by giving him a method.

He immediately ordered to go down.

"Recruit militiamen. They will not participate in frontline operations. They will only encourage the army behind the scenes. We will distribute all the weapons in Qinzhou. If they don't have enough, we will go to Linzhou to borrow them. All we need is clothes and weapons!"

"Before dawn tomorrow, we must recruit [-] militiamen and rush to Kunlun Pass!"

"Let the word out that the officials have agreed to fight, and they will send troops from various states to come. They must reach the ears of the Cochin people and arouse their suspicions!"

Everyone clasped their hands and said, "The general will obey your orders!"

"Prepare fifty warships, select elite soldiers and generals, and follow me to the imperial city!"

Zhao He was still dumbfounded at this time. Has Han Qi made military arrangements now?Why don't you guys discuss it and let me make a suggestion?
At this moment, Han Qi also looked at Zhao He: "Since you proposed this opinion, you must have a share of the credit. I now appoint you as the army staff officer and land in Jiaozhi with me!"

What the hell!

Zhao He was immediately shocked. I'm just here to give you some advice. You don't need to let me join the war with the army, right?
The sword has no eyes, what if something happens and I die?

You are repaying a favor with a grudge!

Han Qi looked at Zhao He with admiration at this moment. Apart from the negotiation, he didn't think it was anything unusual. He only thought that he was Fan Zhongyan's disciple, so he helped.

Now when I look at Zhao He again, my perception has suddenly changed. It can only be said that he is worthy of being a disciple of Fan Zhongyan. Such a strategy is unexpected!
Zhao He hurriedly said: "Envoy Han appeased me, I may have to return to Bianjing..."

He doesn't want to follow him to death!
Han Qi smiled. He was a nice person, but he was a little afraid of death.

This officer is very optimistic about the strategy. If you win, it will be Potian's credit. Besides, can I let you die there?
His face suddenly darkened and he said, "Since you have offered me a plan, why don't you dare to go together? Could it be that you are a spy of the Cochin people planning to plot against me?"

Zhao He immediately grimaced: "Envoy Han Anping, you know who I am, how dare I..."

"Then go together. If you dare to run away, I will capture you and behead you in public!"

You have to take this incredible credit even if you don’t want it!
