In addition to strengthening the control of the Funiu Mountains area in the southern part of the Ruzhou Basin, the next step is to strengthen the rule and control of the Jishan Mountains in the north.

Jishan is the southern branch of Songshan Mountain, sandwiched between Yishui, Yingshui, and Rushui (North Kuishui). It used to be under the jurisdiction of Ruzhou, Xu and Luoyang Prefecture.

Chushan previously contacted the resistance forces in Songshan and other places to harass the enemy, but the progress was not smooth. In addition to the complex composition of the resistance forces and their wandering minds, another main reason was that Chushan did not have direct direct control of Jishan and other places west of Xiangcheng.

jurisdiction.

The resistance forces between Jishan are swinging between Ruzhou and Chushan. At least the local Shanzhai Wubao in Jishan is nominally affiliated to Ruzhou Yexia - while Chushan has no actual control over Jishan and no control over the areas north of Jishan.

Shaoshi Mountain in the northwest and Wan'an Mountain in the northwest are even beyond reach.

Dahongzhai, where Han Changfu led more than a thousand black-shirted troops to retreat in the later period, is located in Jishan Mountain, about fifty miles away from Pishan Mountain.

Chushan had to supply supplies to Dahongzhai before, so the weapons, weapons, and food were transferred through Ruzhou, which was extremely inconvenient.

At this time, Xu Huaizheng organized troops to open up the mountain road from Pishan to Dahongzhai.

In the next step, whether it is the local indigenous villagers in Jishan, the stragglers who fled into the deep mountains and old forests, or the rebels organized and controlled by the village soldiers and village warriors who escaped from Xu Zhengheluo and the gentry and local tycoons, Chushan will forcibly recruit them.

Don't look at Heluo, the enemy in the west of Beijing is building a defense line close to Pishan, Xiangcheng, and Zhaoling at this time, hoping to use their overwhelmingly superior troops and horses to blockade Chushan and bring down Chushan.

However, Chushan has risen from the Tongbai Mountains in recent years. Whether it relies on fighting in the mountains or integrating copycat forces, Cao Shixiong, Yue Hailou and others cannot match it.

"Before winter, not only the southern slope of Jishan Mountain, but Chushan Mountain must also bring the entire Jishan Mountain under control, so that our elite soldiers and horses can use the dangerous Wu Zhai on the northern slope of Jishan Mountain as a base to pass through the newly opened mountain roads.

, attack Dengfeng, Yique, Dagu and other places. When the time comes, let’s see how Cao Shixiong and Yue Hailou can block Huaishang with their superior troops and horses..."

Xu Huaijiang explained this year's combat strategy to Cheng Lunying in detail.

In fact, Xu Huai was not afraid of Cao Shixiong. Yue Hailou relied on his superior troops and horses to block Chushan's western front.

He even planned to manage and control Jishan and take advantage of Jishan's unique strategic location to force the enemy forces in Heluo and west of Beijing to retreat again to the Wan'an Mountains and the north of Yingshui, mainly Yique and Dagu Passes.
