At the beginning of October, the sky was gloomy and cold, and the sky was gray. Kaiyuan was still lively and people were coming and going.

There was a lot of discussion here, and some news had already flowed out of the palace, and some people saw a large number of fast horses running into the palace with red flags.

There are dozens of red flags, but I don’t know what kind of good news is what it means to do.

In the following days, the news spread. Some said that the army of the crown princess reached the capital of the Jin Kingdom, some said that it reached Jinzhou, and some said that the army did not go north, but went to Liaoyang.

In short, there are many different opinions, and there is no definite news in the palace. No matter which statement is, it is exciting and exciting. The discussions on the streets and alleys have been in full swing.

But this time the palace was not anxious. In the past, no matter how big and small the victory was, the palace would immediately issue an edict to inform the world. This time, dozens of horses rushed into the city, with red flags on their backs, but the palace did not rush to send any news, which made people anxious.

Most of the rumors were reported by important officials and servants in the court. There were a lot of information in just a few words, but it was difficult to tell whether it was true or false, and everyone was itchy.

Unlike the people, although not many people know the exact news, it is a different scene at this time.

Needless to say, some important officials in the court were the happiest person. Prince Kang was the one who was most happy.

The mansion was filled with joy, and even started to hold banquets in the past few days to invite relatives and friends. This was not a big deal, nor was it to connect with emotions. Dangchun was like bragging about his vision and found a good son-in-law.

This made Princess Yongming blush. She hadn't passed the door yet, and her father was so unreliable that he talked about his son-in-law and son-in-law everywhere...

But a heart that had been hanging for several months finally let go.

When she first reported the battle, she did not have any share in Di Zhi's share. She was not worried that Di Zhi would not be able to make contributions, but only worried about his safety but did not say anything.

My father was worried that Di Zhi, as the most valued person of the crown prince, had not made any achievements. Could it be that the battle was unfavorable?

This worry lasted for several months, and she would have difficulty falling asleep at night, and sometimes even had nightmares. Her father used his connections to inquire about what Di Zhi was doing, why there was no news about him, the army won consecutive battles, and there was no information about him making contributions.

The concerns are different, but the people are the same. The entire palace has been surrounding the war in the north for half a year. However, just like "the war is for three months, and the letters of a family are worth ten thousand gold", it is still a distance of thousands of miles, and it is still on the battlefield, so it is difficult to get news.

After half a year of anxiety, she was worried. Three days ago, in the middle of the night, she was awakened by the noise of the outer courtyard in a daze. She asked the maid and said that her father was urgently summoned to the palace by the emperor.

It was midnight at that time, and she guessed that something big would happen, and even vaguely felt that there would be a bright future for war with the north.

Sure enough, when the chickens crowed in the mansion the next day, the rising sun rose, and the father, Hongguang, came back from the palace with a full face, and was excited to talk to her. As soon as he opened his mouth, "Your husband is really good, I thought of this for my father!"

Princess Yongming blushed, she hadn't passed the door yet! Besides, he was not like this before, he was anxious and even scolded Di Zhi several times.

After reading the battle report, even she was shocked.

I thought it would be a great achievement to capture Datong Prefecture, Shanhaiguan, and Ningyuan. Jingguo has been established for more than a hundred years, and no one can match this achievement except the veteran General Zhongdaoyu.

But unexpectedly, attacking Shanhaiguan and attacking Ningyuan was just "respectful to the east", while Di Zhi and the Eastern Army of Shenlin, who had no news for a long time, were the ruthless moves to "attack the west".

Di Zhi landed across the sea from Liaodong, where troops were empty, and conquered dozens of coastal states in one fell swoop, and won Liaoyang, the largest city in Liaodong!

Then, he relied on the cannons on the warships to lure the main army of the Jin Kingdom and defeated them in one fell swoop with the ambushed warships.

The battle situation that had been in stalemate in Ningyuan for several months suddenly reversed instantly. The Jin army was defeated thousands of miles, defeated again and again, and even lost Jinzhou one after another. Zhongxing Prefecture and more than a dozen surrounding states, the powerful general Liu Ji even went directly to the capital of the Jin Kingdom to Shangjing!

Yongming did not know about military affairs, but she understood history and read history books.

Knowing the difficulties of Jingguo in the Northern War over the past century, I feel a little breathless just by reading several pages listed in the war report.

She didn't know the soldiers, but she also felt that the Emperor's grandson's voice was too beautiful to attack the west, which instantly made the Jin army, which was originally steadily confronting, lose its inch and is in a dilemma.

What made her even happier was Di Zhi's contribution. Li Xingzhou, as the head coach, was naturally the first contribution, but under the head coach, the Eastern Army led by Di Zhi and Shenlin made the greatest contribution, and Di Zhi was the head coach of the Eastern Army!

For a moment, she was a little dazed. The silly man who spoke at the time, who always made her angry and made her unable to sleep, actually reached the point where she was now.

......

His father can't do anything else, but he has a great vision of others.

My father once told her not to imitate women like her aunt, who always holds family opinions, which is short-sighted and women's opinions.

The truly powerful families have a rare family. Almost every year, they always look for people when the results are released, and they specialize in funding those poor children with good potential.

If you really feel that you have potential, even regardless of whether others are born or not, marry the women in your family first.

The other party is often grateful, and after achieving success in the future, he will repay his kindness and support his younger generations in the family.

In this way, even if you have no ability, you can still attract some capable people, and there will be many people outside to help you out in the future.

And those families that always hold family backgrounds and short-sighted vision often cannot go far.

A generation of capable people cannot guarantee that they can produce them from generation to generation. Even if there are capable people, they may fall into a state of loneliness and helplessness.

This is a way for these wealthy families to survive.

.........

Since that day, Yongming has been looking forward to the triumphant reunion every day, and he would go to the river to check it out from time to time, because it was said that Di Zhi was the commander of the new navy and the fleet was about to return from the river.

.........

There was another discussion in the palace, where the army was triumphant, and many things had to be determined before this, such as credit and reward.

"......... so beautiful. When the new army left Beijing, they walked quietly. I thought they were responding to His Highness's army, and they were walking on the south bank of the Bohai Bay, advancing on both water and land.

Unexpectedly, the palace was very smart and courageous. The navy was actually in the Bohai Sea. It landed directly from Liaoyang through the Bohai Sea..."

In the side hall of Changchun Hall, many ministers gathered here, and the emperor was also there, sitting in a circle, on the sandalwood rack on the side, there was a detailed map hanging on the sandalwood frame, which was more than half a person tall. The one who explained to everyone was Wen Daoli, the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor.

There are many war reports sent to the Privy Council, and they are all written in the form of war reports. Each army wrote its own, and the general report written by the commander Li Xingzhou was too brief.

After reading it, I can tell the general idea, but I can't know the detailed combat process. Everyone can't wait to know how this battle was fought so!

So Wen Daoli, as the deputy envoy of Privy Council, had no choice but to sort out the war reports for everyone, conducted detailed research on the development of the war, and then told them to everyone.

"After landing, Di Zhi, the two generals of Shen Lin were very smart in using troops and were moderately relaxed and relaxed.

It also has the smell of attacking the east and west. General Gan led a fleet to attack the states along the coast, giving the Jin people the illusion that the main force of the enemy was on the coast.

In fact, the main force of the new naval army was led by General Di and rushed straight to Liaoyang. If there was no case attraction at this time, even if Liaoyang was empty, the surrounding prefectures and counties could give up the city defense and concentrate the defenders in Liaoyang.

But they probably didn't expect that the main force of our navy could be so fast to the city of Liaoyang..."

Everyone nodded one after another, and the emperor praised Di Zhi for a few words. As soon as the emperor spoke, everyone also understood that Di Zhi must be a giant in the court in the future, and all he lacked was time.

He Zhao, who was sitting aside, looked deeper. He understood that the emperor not only appreciated his ability to fight, but also saved him because of Di Zhi.

On the other side, Wen Daoli continued to talk, the more he listened, the more incredible the audience was.

This is a big deal and a big operation, and the control of the entire macro battlefield. Some people listen to it like a fantasy, some people sigh at it, and some people feel nothing after hearing it.

"It seems that Your Highness has been prepared to leave the two-sided imperial guards in Yanshan Prefecture to prevent the enemy from going south from Juyongguan and threaten the rear of the army.

Although the Jin army was pressed step by step from beginning to end and was unable to divide the troops, this was a perfect solution...”

"At this point, the main force of our Jing army was in the west, the Tatars were attacked by the Wusha Castle in the north, and the new navy in Liaodong. In just half a month, the situation took a sharp turn from confrontation. The Jin Kingdom was attacked from three sides and ran around east and west. His highness's big move made the Jin Kingdom dizzy and dizzy.

No matter which side you save, you will be attacked from both sides..."

"The battle in Liaodong is also the last victory, and it is the key to a fatal blow to the Jin army. General Di cooperated with General Di to first put the ship sideways and set up a circular formation on the sea at the ferry. Then, taking advantage of the night to lure the main force of the enemy to pursue Chenzhou...

Not far away at night, the main force of the Jin army chased the beach but didn't know that there were large ships of New Army in front of them until more than 200 artillery pieces and the New Army soldiers waiting on the beach were firing at the same time..."

Wen Daoli spoke vividly because he was a person who had been on the battlefield. He understood many things more than the emperor and a group of civil officials. Adding the added fuel to the fire, it is naturally attractive.

Although the Jin Kingdom lost one-third of its fertile land after more than half a year of battle, Wen Daoli was an old man. From the war report, he could see that there were only four truly decisive battles, and the others were small fights. However, no matter how much he added fuel to the fire, it would not be too much for him to add fuel to the fire. The more exaggerated he said, the happier the emperor.

In one battle, Yang Wenguang and Zhe Weizhong led the Western Route Army to recover Datong Prefecture, conquered a major city, and ensured the safety of the army's rear.

The second game was when the Emperor Taisun led the middle army to break through Shanhaiguan, open up the northbound road, defeating hundreds of elite battalions of troops in the front army of the Jin army, and causing the Jin army to get hurt.

The third game was when the Emperor Taisun led the Central Army to remain calm outside Ningyuan City and remained unmoved like a mountain, defeating Wanyan Zongbi's final counterattack. After this battle, the Jin army was completely unable to resist the Jing army on the front battlefield.

The fourth and last game was that Di Zhi and Shenlin used artillery on large ships to set up an ambush in Liaoyang, luring the enemy into depth, and defeating the last main force of the Jin army in one fell swoop. After this battle, the main force of the Jin Dynasty was defeated and could only flee north.

These four battles are decisive battles, which completely determine the overall victory of the entire battlefield. As for other victory, they are also victory, but they are all small fights and have a driving effect on the battle situation, but they are not decisive.

As the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor, Wen Daoli still has this vision, so he said that the situation of the war will give people a clear connection and a clear structure, and you will understand the feeling of the entire war process as soon as you hear it.

If everyone is allowed to read a lot of war reports by themselves, whether it is the Emperor, Degong, He Zhao, Xue Fang, Tang Zhouwei and other important officials, it can be seen that the good news is written everywhere, but no matter how surprised or excited it is, it is difficult to understand the battlefield war thoroughly and clearly.

Because they do not understand the specific process of war, and have not personally directed or experienced large-scale wars, this is called having a specialty in arts.

After hearing Wen Daoli's words, the emperor also felt enlightened, "According to Wen Qing's words, the first contribution to the next battle was Xing Zhou, followed by Di Zhi, Yang Wenguang, Gan Lin, and Zhe Weizhong?"

Wen Daoli nodded: "Yang Wenguang, Zhe Weizhong's Western Route Army was supported by a rebel army to break through Datong Prefecture. It sounded like it would reduce their merits, but their capture of Datong Prefecture was to ensure the stability of the rear of the army, which was of great significance from the overall perspective."

The emperor nodded.

"When Di arrived, the Eastern Army of Shenlin not only captured the cities and territory, but also caused the Jin army to be attacked from both sides. It also adapted to local conditions and gave the main force the Jin army the last blow. It was a great achievement. I think it was only under Your Highness."

Seeing that the emperor agreed again, Wen Daoli continued: "The Emperor's grandson controlled the overall situation and planned the strategic deployment of the three armies. He was the head coach again. The first contribution was inevitable.

But his subordinates, such as Yang Hongzhao, were old and persistent, and had many military achievements; Wei Yubai was the only one who led the army and fought many times, with remarkable achievements.

Wei Chaoren, the governor of Yanshan Prefecture, raised food and grass for the army, protected the grain roads, collected corvée labor, and the Prime Minister's logistics supplies, which was also a great contribution.

Liu Ji and Yan Shen were powerful generals in the world. They killed the enemy and attacked cities and camps, and made many military achievements. They were all rare good talents.

Liu Ji also led the 20th battalion of cavalry to defeat the Jin Dynasty's personal guards and imperial guards several times outside Shangjing. The people in the capital were panic. They were such a powerful general!”

Speaking of this, the emperor and all the ministers smiled happily. Not only did Liu Ji scare the people of Shangjing to tremble, but also because of the word "King of the Country"!

After this battle, the Jin Kingdom had already removed the title of emperor and surrendered to Jing Kingdom. What else could be more exciting and happy than this! The emperor's smile could not be hidden. From now on, the northern overlord and the arrogant Jin Kingdom will also be his subject!

"There is also the Pingzhou Gu Lichuan, who has made military achievements in defending and sieging the city. Your Highness has also praised him..." The emperor nodded, and then asked everyone to study more, and to draw up a suitable reward plan before the army returns to Beijing.

On the day when the army was over, the emperor wanted to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth and go out of the city to greet them personally.
To be continued...
