After Gao Lian returned to the Privy Council, he immediately issued an order to transfer troops to reinforce Jiangnan.

This time, in order to protect Jiangnan and thwart the offensive of the Liangshan rebels in Jiangnan, the Great Song court was desperate.

All the armies in the south will receive orders to go to the battlefield.

The four forbidden army units of the Xingguo Army, the Linjiang Army, the Jianchang Army and the Nan’an Army on Jiangnan West Road, plus the two box armies of the Zhennan Army and the Zhaoxin Army. The two forbidden armies of the Zhaowu Army and the Xinghua Army on Minjiang Road, plus the Weiwu Army and the Ping Navy, the two box armies. The two forbidden armies of the Wugang Army and the Chaling Army on Jingnan Road, plus the box army of the Wu’an Army. The three forbidden armies of the Hanyang Army, the Shouchang Army, and the Jingling Army on Jingbei Road, plus the three armies of An Yuan, Wu Changjun, and Yueyang Army. The two forbidden armies, the Yongqing Army and the Qing Navy on Guangnan East Road, plus the Duanzhou Army, the box army. The three forbidden armies of the Changhua Army, the Wan’an Army and the Zhuya Army on the West Road of Guangnan, plus the three armies of the Ningyuan Army, the Jianwu Army and the Qingyuan Army, will all receive orders to go to battle.

You know, this is a gathering of sixteen forbidden armies and twelve box armies, and the total strength has reached nearly 200,000 people.

Such a huge force has almost included all the armies in the southern part of the entire Great Song Dynasty.

Some of these armies were used to defend against the Nanzhao Kingdom, and some were used to defend against small countries on the Indochina Peninsula.

However, in order to stop the attack of the Liangshan rebels, Gao Liang and Song Huizong could only ignore this for the time being. For them, the Liangshan rebels are the henchmen. It is necessary to solve the Liangshan rebels first, in order to be able to save the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty, and only then can they save their lives.

After solving the Liangshan rebels, it is enough to go back to deal with the Nanzhao Kingdom and the small countries of the Indochina Peninsula.

It’s a pity that even if the Great Song Imperial Court gathered so many troops. But that’s just how powerful data is on paper.

You know, so many armies are scattered all over the place. It would take a long time for the orders from Bianjing alone to reach these troops. Even because of the impact of the war, it would take at least a month for the Privy Council’s order to convey the words of Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road.

Wait until these troops receive the order, and then move. This will undoubtedly take more time.

By the time they arrived on the battlefield, the Liangshan rebels might have laid down a large piece of territory.

If it is not good, those newly formed units of the Liangshan Rebel Army have already formed combat effectiveness.

Moreover, the time when these Song Army troops arrived on the battlefield was probably different.

At that time, it is not certain whether these Song troops can withstand the attack of the Liangshan rebels. If it is not done well, it will become a dish in the mouth of the Liangshan rebels.

It’s just that after Gao Lian issued the transfer order, at least for Song Huizong, there was an explanation.

Song Huizong is also very satisfied with Gao Qiang’s execution ability.

In his opinion, it should be enough to readjust the entire 200,000 troops to prevent the Liangshan rebels from capturing Jiangnan. In a short time, Jiangnan should be safe.

However, in the heart of Song Huizong, it was still necessary to eliminate the Liangshan rebels. If nothing else, at least the Liangshan rebels need to be eliminated in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the Great Song Dynasty.

No, Song Huizong specially summoned Cai Jing and Gao Lian to ask their opinions.

“Your Majesty, according to the information we have obtained, the Liangshan Thief Army has less than 100,000 troops to fight in the south. However, the combat effectiveness of the box army was so poor that it dragged its feet, causing the official army to suffer a crushing defeat on the eastern road of Huainan. Liangshan’s main forces are still concentrated on the east-west road in Beijing. As long as we can annihilate these main forces of the Liangshan Thief Army. It would be much easier to suppress the entire Liangshan rebel army next. Cai Jing suggested.

“That’s what the Master said! However, the troops assembled by the Liangshan thief army on the east-west road of Beijing are very many! Can we really solve them all? “Emperor Huizong of Song no longer believes in the officials and troops of the Great Song Court.

Or rather, because of repeated failures, he already developed a fear of the Liangshan rebels.

“Your Majesty, although the strength of the Liangshan Thief Army has skyrocketed. However, the vast majority of their troops are just recruits. Relatively speaking, combat effectiveness is not strong! If we can seize the opportunity, we may not be able to eliminate it! Gao Lian also said.

He is a person, although his ability is not very good.

However, I feel very good about myself.

After becoming a privy envoy, he was determined to do a good job in this position, even if it would be good to be famous in history in the future!

Song Huizong frowned, he sensed Gao Qiang’s meaning, and seemed to want to take risks.

“Gao Aiqing, do you have any plans?” Song Huizong asked.

“Your Majesty, the minister dares to ask His Majesty to use all his strength to solve them in one fell swoop before the Liangshan thief army has further grown. Otherwise, the longer time drags on, the worse it will be for us. Gao Lian said.

“You mean, send out the army of Gyeonggi Road and fight a decisive battle with the Liangshan thief army on the east-west road in Beijing?” Song Huizong asked.

“Yes, Your Majesty! This is the only way we can quickly pacify the Liangshan bandit army. Otherwise, as the Liangshan bandit army occupied more and more state capitals in the south. Their strength will become stronger and stronger. This would pose a mortal threat to the imperial court. Therefore, we cannot give them any more time to develop. We must suppress them all before they develop! As long as it can solve the main force of the Liangshan thief army on the east-west road in Beijing. The remaining army of thieves is nothing to worry about. Gao Lian suggested.

Without a doubt, this is an extremely crazy proposal.

If successful, it will be very beneficial to completely change the current unfavorable situation of the Great Song Dynasty.

Even, in a very short time, it was able to completely suppress the Liangshan rebels.

However, the risks are also very large.

The strength of the Liangshan rebel army is undoubtedly too strong.

Even if the Great Song Imperial Court could gather superior forces, Song Huizong did not dare to assert that he would definitely be able to win!

If it fails, it will be a devastating blow to the Great Song court.

At that time, I am afraid that even Bianjing will not be able to hold on. Even the Great Song Dynasty will collapse as a result.

Such a desperate tactic was undoubtedly reluctant to Song Huizong. Or rather, desperately want to avoid it!
