"The Datong Prefecture in the west is deep into our hinterland, and it is the first priority to take down Datong Prefecture first!

...........

The sea is turbulent and the risk is too great, so it is not advisable to divide the troops. As long as you take down Datong Prefecture, take Datong and Yanshan Prefecture as the foundation, and then slowly plan to the north, even if it is difficult to move north and west, the Jin people will have no choice but to do anything to us.

.........

What you think is good is good, but it's too rash...

What to do if you fail? The defeat along the way affects the morale of the army...

The Jin Kingdom is not a good bone to chew on if it is not good to disperse troops." Duke De kept chatting, attacking Li Xingzhou from sea to land and attacking Li Xingzhou and defeating Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop. He said while holding up the tea and moistening his throat.

After Duke De said that, Li Xingzhou looked around everyone and finally his eyes fell on Di Zhi.

Di Zhi understood and immediately spoke: "The Prime Minister said it is reasonable. Datong Prefecture is the top priority. Datong and Yanshan are connected to one line to resist the north. It is safe to take down Datong Prefecture with all its strength.

But in the longer term, it is still inappropriate. The passage to Liaodong, especially in the Bohai Bay generation." He said, pointing to the map placed in the middle of the table, and everyone leaned over his head.

"There are mountains on the west side and sea on the east side. The passage that squeezes the middle is not wide. If the Jin people lose Datong Mansion after the battle, they will immediately defend the Liaodong Pass. At that time, if they want to occupy the grassland horse farm in the north, it will be even more difficult for the land of Liaodong.

And then even if the navy surrounds the back, it will be useless. If the land army does not respond, the navy will be isolated and helpless even if it lands, and it will be difficult to last."

After Di Zhi finished speaking, several old men showed incredible expressions. Di Zhi did not answer De Gong's question head-on. What the two said was completely different.

Duke De means that he has the strategic goal of seizing Datong Prefecture. Whether he can go north to gain more territory will be as he wishes.

Di Zhi meant this battle, with the goal of seizing Datong Prefecture and controlling large areas such as the Liaodong Corridor and the Liaodong Plain.

Everyone present understood that Di Zhi's words meant by Li Xingzhou. Di Zhi was his most trusted right-hand man, who quelled the rebellion and destroyed Liao together.

In every life-and-death battle, whether in Luzhou or Yanshan Prefecture, once Li Xingzhou divided his troops, the King of Jin would be one army and Di Zhi would be one army. At this time, what Di Zhi said was naturally what the King of Jin wanted to say.

So all the incredible eyes gathered on him.

The land of the Sixteen Prefectures in Yanyun was unable to be recaptured for more than a hundred years. Last year, King Jin advanced together and took back Yizhou, Zhuozhou, Yanshan Prefecture and other places in the eastern part. It was a contribution of the sky, and the whole country was filled with joy.

Jingguo is like this, with many literary and military suppression. Since Emperor Taizu, he has no decent martial arts. The siege of cities and territory is far away from Jingguo. Most of the battles he has fought were fighting against the enemy. He sent troops several times to the north either ended in vain or was defeated.

In such an environment, people will inevitably lose their aura. Recapturing Yanshan Prefecture is a great victory. Being able to regain Datong Prefecture in the west is a merit in the mining world, and I dare not ask for it anymore.

They never expected that Li Xingzhou was still thinking about the grasslands and the Liaodong region to the north.

"Prince, will this move be too radical..." Bao Zheng, who has been promoted to the Ministry of War, was a little hesitant: "The Jin Kingdom is not easy to deal with, and even the Liao Kingdom was not their opponent at the time."

"I also think this strategy is too radical. Although it makes sense, you can't be so impatient. The country is not ready yet and the risk is too great. Besides, you already have Yanshan Prefecture, so there is no need to take risks. If you lose this battle, the Jin army will take advantage of the situation and go south. Maybe the newly acquired Yanshan Prefecture will be difficult to defend." He Zhao also disagreed.

Li Xingzhou looked at everyone talking, and was actually very nervous.

He didn't know these risks, and he wouldn't be afraid. He thought about these suns and moons every day, and even if it weren't for the comfort of poetry, he would have difficulty falling asleep.

Major events in the country and country are particularly important events that concern the fate of millions of people. If you are not careful, he will be a sinner for the ages. This pressure makes him breathless, even in his dreams, he will often wake up, or doubt whether his own is right.

But the more you are like this, the more you have to force yourself to calm down and think, and not be influenced by emotions and pressure.

Seeing everyone arguing, he cleared his throat and looked at him. He was the real decision-maker.

Li Xingzhou said: "I understand that if you are worried, if you target Datong Prefecture, you will be sure to attack Datong Prefecture with the support of the rebel army, add the new army, the imperial guards, and the Guanbei army.

After Datong Prefecture, Datong Prefecture and Yanshan Prefecture were connected to the front line, and all the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun could be recovered. This is a great achievement, which is enough to be kept in history."

As he said that, he stood up and paved a little heavy: "Of course I thought about this too...

Kaiyuan's life is so comfortable. My family's beautiful wife and concubines are as rich and prosperous as a mountain, with great wealth and power. After living a lifetime like this, I can still leave a good reputation and spread it...

I don't want to fight either..." He sighed.

If he had not come from later generations, if he had not heard of those heavy history, Li Xingzhou would also want to be a prince of Xiaoyao and then an emperor of Xiaoyao.

His achievements were long enough to keep his name in history. He suppressed the rebellion twice, recovered Yizhou, Zhuozhou, and Yanshan Prefecture, destroyed the Liao Kingdom, and captured the last emperor of the Liao Kingdom. Among the entire Jing Kingdom emperor, he would definitely be in the top three.

But he knew that this era truly interpreted the saying, what is "born from distress and death from happiness".

The rapid rise and fall of Liao, Jin and Mongolia all rose and died in peace.

If he is not radical, if he only wants to be an ordinary emperor with only one acre of land, he might be able to spend his life safely, but what about his descendants? The haze in the north always makes him breathless......

"Now the people of our country of Jing live and work in peace and contentment, the world is prosperous, and the national treasury is becoming increasingly full, which is a peaceful and prosperous era.

But the saints should not violate the time, nor should they miss the time."

When he said this, Li Xingzhou suddenly understood its heaviness: "Now is the best opportunity. After the Liao and Jin War, the people's hearts were unstable, the soldiers were tired, and many people were not convinced of the rule of the Jin people. This was a good opportunity for heaven...

.........

If we miss out on our own selfishness, to keep a good reputation in history, and to enjoy peace, our descendants will face a Jin Kingdom where we are resting and breathing completely, what will happen then?

If a Jin Kingdom, who can beat Liao Kingdom to no power to fight back, how should they face it if they breathe?"

Everyone calmed down, and Yelu Dashi's face looked a little embarrassed.

They didn't know, but Li Xingzhou knew that Jingkang's shame and half of the lost country were all reference results.

"The Jin people came from the bitter and cold land in northeastern Liao, and had the spirit of shocking perseverance and fearlessness of death. The most famous Jin people is that they can fight day and night, not be afraid of hardship, and not be afraid of death.

Because they had long been afraid of hard life and did not want their descendants to be like them. Even if they were alive, they had to fight south and go to a richer place.

Haha, it is us who enjoy peace and comfort who claim to be civilized and open-minded, but we are in peace and we rarely miss our descendants.

We cannot compare with the Jin people in this regard, so I am afraid of the Jin people. If I do not fight against Liaodong, my descendants will suffer the consequences!"

Li Xingzhou said firmly: "I have decided, please come, so there is no need to discuss the affairs of Datong Prefecture and Liaodong anymore. The key tone is determined by the Datong Prefecture, Shangjing, and the Liaodong Plain are the must-see places!

Whether you win or lose, the responsibility lies with me. Opportunities are fleeting, so don’t fight for those boring problems anymore.”

He was very energetic, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he could not doubt it, and he immediately set a strategic goal to attack Jin. This goal was very big and too scary. Everyone looked at him, his eyes flashed, surprised, doubt, guilt, and admiration...

But no matter what, the battle a year or two later finally set the tone at this time - a national war!

It was rare that the light flashed in Zhong Daoyu's eyes, and De Gong did not say much. Di Zhi, Yang Hongzhao, Wei Yubai, Yan Shen, Shen Lin and others were both excited, and their eyes looked at him became even more respectful.

After telling everything and explaining it clearly, Li Xingzhou sat down and felt relieved, and he had no way out.

As he said, the opportunity must not be missed. This time he could not retreat, nor could he leave the weight to his descendants, because then they were even more difficult to deal with.

Therefore, he must shoulder the burden, all responsibilities, all rise, fall, honor and disgrace.

...........

In the afternoon, in the palace courtyard and the peach garden, everyone compared the map and sand table, and wrote down many entries while talking. Zhong Daoyu expressed the most opinions and was most valued. He was the one who truly led a large-scale army cluster to fight south and north.

Yang Hongzhao also said a lot. He had rich experience in war, and Degong said the most about the specific personnel arrangements of logistics supply. Most of the officials from all over the country knew who could be used. He had a good idea of ​​who could be used.

As for Yelu Dashi, he was very familiar with the terrain of Datong Prefecture and the Liaodong Corridor, because it was the hometown of the Liao Kingdom. Everyone often asked for advice, but he did not keep it.
