Han Tai took a long stick and pointed it to the hanging Jianghuai area. The military protection map of the two countries in Song Dynasty did mark the main protection positions of Song Jun in Jianghuai area that China knows at present.
"On the whole, Song Jun’s protection in the Jianghuai area highlights the characteristics of guarding the river and not guarding the Huai River. The specific performance of the main frontier defense forces is to set up the Yangtze River instead of Huai River. The Jiankang House in Zhenjiang, Henan Province, including Chizhou on the west side, is deployed along the river.
This defensive feature of Song Jun is obviously influenced by the diversion of the Yellow River. They are worried that once the Yellow River overflows, the Huaihe River region will become Zeguo, and the initiative to retreat here has turned Huainan into a military buffer zone between our two countries.
Therefore, if the army wants to break through the Huaihe River and enter Huainan, it can be said that it is impossible for Song Jun to enter the country. It is impossible for our army to continue fighting in Huainan, and it is impossible for our army to reach Huainan safely and prepare to cross the river. "
Su Yonglin has no objection to this.
The great possibility of diverting the Yellow River and seizing the Huaihe River into the sea makes the military strategy of defending the river and the Huaihe River all the more dangerous.
Because I don’t know when the Yellow River will burst and flood the Huaihe River area into a white land, it is not necessary to invest money to set up defense here. The small court in the Southern Song Dynasty chose to directly abandon Huainan’s garrison and turn Huainan into a strategic buffer zone.
If the northern army wants to go south, let him set up the main force of the southern army, rely on the rolling Yangtze River to build a defense line, and focus on defending the direction of the Yellow River ferry to attack the enemy, leaving the risk of Huainan being washed into white to the northern army
This is undoubtedly a feasible strategy.
Although there are many ferries rolling along the Yangtze River, it is by no means possible to cross the river anywhere.
In particular, the large army crossing the river has to choose a place where the water flow is relatively gentle because of the tight number of people. If the choice is wrong, let alone our own logistics team will definitely take the lead in cursing.
Therefore, this greatly limits the choice of big armaments in the North.
Several ferries that allowed the army to cross the river were set up by Song Jun to guard against the fact that the army broke through the Huaihe River and entered Huainan, and then it would face Song Jun’s strict Yangtze River defense line and powerful navy.
This time, it was a local war. Su Yonglin didn’t intend to threaten the Jianghuai theater, the main national defense in the Southern Song Dynasty. The Sichuan theater and the Jinghu theater in the Southern Song Dynasty mainly faced the defenders of the Southern Song Dynasty, namely the defenders of Jiankang Prefecture and Zhenjiang Prefecture.
"According to the information available at present, King Liu Kun, the Shoujiang of Jiankang Prefecture in the Southern Song Dynasty, is a mediocre man. Anyone who talks about him has a lot of complaints about him, saying that this person is better at pocketing his own money than leading troops. Others say that he can be unified because he bribed senior officials in the DPRK.
Compared with the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Kun, the commander-in-chief of Zhenjiang Prefecture, is a veteran and famous soldier who has led the army and won many bloody battles. What Jin Jun is afraid of is that he has always been disciplined and experienced, and he is an absolute enemy. "
Han Tai probably introduced a major general who has been deployed in Song Jun in Jianghuai Theater at present.
Xin Qiji said, "When I crossed the river through Jiankang House in the south, I was accompanied by Wang Lun, a Tang Dynasty envoy in the Southern Song Dynasty, who was in charge of welcoming us on the riverbank. It was this king who was kind-oriented and slightly fat, like a businessman, more than a general, which gave me the feeling that I had no sharpness at all."
"Do you think he will be a good soldier?"
Su Yonglin asked Xin Qiji
Xin Qiji shook his head.
"It’s not too arbitrary to judge whether a person can be talented or not just by looking at the sea. I dare not talk nonsense, but the intelligence said that the people in the Southern Song Dynasty said that this person was good at enriching himself and was not good at running the army because he was good at gaining profits. It seems more credible."
Su Yonglin agreed with Xin Qiji’s opinion.
"Song people like Wen Yuwu best. Those who lead the martial arts can’t be senior officers if they are not good at civilian communication. From this point of view, this king doesn’t have excellent military skills like Liu Yong. It is estimated that he is good at gaining."
"So this battle should be the first to break through Jiankang House?"
Su Yonglin looked at Xin Qiji.
Xin Qiji thought for a moment.
"In my opinion, we should attack Zhenjiang first."
"oh? What? Do not fight weak and fight strong? "
"Liu Yong is a famous soldier in the Southern Song Dynasty with high qualifications. Few old Southern Song countries can compare with Liu Yong. The general’s positive defeat of Liu Yong is helpful for our army to quickly destroy the confidence of the Southern Song Dynasty and make all the southern Song armies fear our army.
I have studied the history of the Southern Song Dynasty’s Southern War. The Southern Song Dynasty’s military battles are often defeated all the way, and the army retreats. The organization is very poor. Without mutual cooperation, it is no small matter that Liu Kun’s famous soldier and veteran once defeated, it will be a serious blow to the rest of the Southern Song Dynasty.
When Wang Liu and Liu Kun are defeated, it is very likely that this person will directly flee to the south and give up the war and give up the health house. When Wang is defeated, Liu Kun may not give up the war, but he may fight to the death and divide his troops. It is better to fight for the health house than to fight for it. "
Xin Qiji gave his own opinion after meditation.
"reasonable"
Su Yonglin nodded slowly and then asked, "But you also said that Liu Kun, a famous soldier in the Southern Song Dynasty, must have rich combat experience and be brave enough to defeat the Jin Army many times. Is it true that our army is sure to win the battle?"
"It’s true that Liu Kun defeated the Jin army many times, but our big army is the one that destroyed the Jin army. Is Liu Kun brave enough to destroy the Jin kingdom?"
Xin Qiji said with strong self-confidence, "Liu Kun can certainly recruit good soldiers, but what about that?" Destroying the Jin Guo is our great task. Destroying the Jin Jun is also our great army!
Can Liu Kun enlist good warfare? Can’t generals and soldiers fight for the rest of my life? If Liu Kun has the ability to reverse the current situation, will he not go north? Don’t recover the Central Plains? No, the golden thief fought to the death? In the final analysis, the so-called Southern Song Dynasty famous soldiers are just guarding dogs! "
Xin Qiji proudly raised his head and his face was full of disdain.
Chapter 665 The demise of the Southern Song Navy
Guard the dog?
Su Yonglin didn’t expect Xin Qiji to comment on the generals of the Southern Song Dynasty like this.
But on second thought, he felt that what Xin Qiji said was not necessarily unreasonable.
It’s not easy for Zhao Gou, the emperor, to command the logistics of the small court in the Southern Song Dynasty, to maintain the ability of the generals in the Southern Song Dynasty to guard dogs well. What if we can expect them to become tigers?
On the other hand, Su Yonglin was very happy to feel this strong confidence in Xin Qiji’s heart.
He led the recovery army to sweep the Central Plains, destroy the State of Jin, and then established a great dynasty. Everyone knows how the state was established and what it means to establish a state.
Means that the natural enemies of the big army
Su Yonglin is glad that he insisted and worked hard to make the country’s helmsmen have such strong self-confidence, which will surely take root in people’s hearts and become the self-confidence of every citizen over time.
This kind of self-confidence comes from the failure of Zhao Guangyi’s northern expedition to Yanyun, and the Han people rarely have self-confidence. This kind of self-confidence is that the Han people have not had self-confidence again for a long time.
"Having said that, we have a saying that we despise the enemy’s tactics for the so-called strategy and attach importance to the enemy’s tactics. Although Song Jun is weak, it may not be without elites. For example, in this southern war, our army mainly broke into Song Jun from Jianghuai area, mainly facing the defenders of Zhenjiang Prefecture, Song Jun and Jiankang Prefecture, Song Jun."
