On February 13th, the second day after the great celebration, Su Yonglin stopped allowing the various units of the Liberation Army to continue celebrating.
Hello! It’s time to get to work!
Su Yonglin made many arrangements for the various departments of the Liberation Army.
First, all the instructors were dispatched to organize the captured Han soldiers and civilians to hold a grievance meeting together to pour out the bitterness in their hearts.
After the grievance meeting, the captured Jin soldiers and generals were brought to the public trial platform and a public trial was held.
Use the blood and lives of the judged Jin soldiers and generals to wake up these confused soldiers and civilians, let them wake up, let them wake up.
The next step is to promote the policies of the Liberation Army, military policies, military welfare benefits, or agricultural welfare benefits after returning home, etc.
And such good things?
The soldiers and civilians who were cruelly squeezed by the Jin Kingdom knew for the first time in their lives that there was such a regime and such a policy.
Is it really true?
Do such regimes and policies really exist?
Then many soldiers of the Liberation Army showed up and compared their tragic experiences in the past with their current happy life, letting them know that all this was true, and that Commander Su of the Liberation Army would never lie to them.
They can always trust Su Shuai.
In this way, a large number of Han Chinese soldiers and civilians actively signed up to join the Liberation Army a few days after the public trial meeting to expand the military strength of the Liberation Army.
Then, each unit of the Liberation Army will implement the policy of military expansion according to the current scale. If it is necessary to supplement the troops, it will supplement the troops. If it is necessary to increase the organizational structure, it will increase the organizational structure.
At the same time, the army began to preliminarily review the military merit books, promote or demote their military positions according to their respective merits or faults, reward those who have made meritorious deeds, publicly criticize those who have done wrong, and conduct interviews on a series of incidents that occurred during the war. Comprehensive review and discussion.
Finally, Su Yonglin sent an order to the three armies of the Enemy Army, the Enemy Breaking Army and the Youyi Army to take the lead in reorganizing and expanding their forces. The Food and Rating Department was responsible for preparing logistics for them. Using Shanzhou as a springboard, they marched towards Kaifeng as quickly as possible, striving to capture Kaifeng in one go. .
The leader of the Kaifeng strategy will be Zhang Yuejing, the general of the trapped army. He will be responsible for coordinating the overall situation and controlling and defeating the enemy's general Chen Qiaoshan and You Yijun's general Zhou Zhi.
After the Kaifeng strategy was arranged, Su Yonglin began to actively prepare for the normalization of going north and Hebei and Shandong.
The army needs to go north to Yanyun to launch the next phase of the battle, and Hebei and Shandong, which have been in a state of clearing the country for four months, are also in urgent need of returning to normalcy and allowing everyone to return to their respective places of residence and race against time to start spring plowing.
There are so many things to do, so many things need to be done, and many people have to be sent out to help with the work.
In other words, Su Yonglin has established many grassroots political powers, which are relatively powerful and can mobilize a large number of manpower to do things. Otherwise, this situation would be like a nightmare.
While doing things, according to Su Yonglin's estimation, the group of [eternal masters] in this land will come to him soon.
They may shamelessly send money, food, and women, and then reach out to him for power.
You can prepare some things in advance to avoid being unprepared when things happen and making you laugh.
Despite this, the priority of this kind of matter should still be pushed to the back. Su Yonglin didn't see anyone. He had to first determine the military situation in Hebei, as well as where Sun Ziyi and Su Jue's troops had gone, and what they had done. What a credit.
They have made great achievements.
They have successfully surrounded Zhongdu.
To be honest, Sun Ziyi and others did not expect that their attack would go so smoothly. They directly penetrated the fragile defense of the Jin army and reached the gate of Zhongdu.
In order to guard against a powerful counterattack by the Jin army, they expanded the number of the army to about 60,000 people, reorganized it a little, and then divided their troops into two groups for the northern expedition.
Their plan was to go all the way to Xiongzhou, go north from Xiongzhou to capture Fan Yang, and then go north from Fan Yang to attack Zhongdu.
The other way is to go to Bazhou, eliminate the Wuqing camp of the Jin Army, and threaten Zhongdu from the southeast. At the same time, they will divide their troops to the northeast to capture Yuguan, cut off the communication between Zhongdu and Liaodong, block the Jin Army in Liaodong, and It is not allowed to enter Yanyun lightly.
Therefore, the strategic goals at this stage are that the first is to capture Zhongdu, and even if it fails, we must surround Zhongdu. The second is to cut off the communication between the Jin Army in Liaodong and Zhongdu, capture Yuguan, and in order to capture the entire Yan Cloud areas create conditions.
The main proposer of this strategic plan is Su Jue.
Su Jue has always been courageous and good at running long distances and attacking unprepared places. This aspect is very similar to Su Yonglin.
Sun Tzu Yi was relatively more conservative, so Sun Tzu Yi was hesitant at first.
"Isn't this too much of a big deal? After all, we are not the main force. Most of our troops are soldiers who have been surrendered, and there are fewer elite main forces. With such a bold advance, if we are attacked, the situation will not be good.
During Zhao Guangyi's two Northern Expeditions, he mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops and marched in three directions from all directions. However, they still suffered defeats. We have few soldiers and are going straight to the central capital. Isn't it too dangerous? "
Su Jue shook his head repeatedly.
"Zhao Guangyi's first Northern Expedition was very hasty, trying to catch the Liao people off guard. However, the Liao people had many cavalry. Even if they were caught off guard at first, as long as they didn't lose too many important cities, they could immediately launch a counterattack once they recovered. .
The Song army had just experienced the battle against Taiyuan, and its veterans were exhausted. It was actually at the end of its war effort. Once it was delayed by the Liao army somewhere and could not win quickly, it would inevitably be defeated. Zhao Guangyi did not know the soldiers, so he was defeated.
As for the second Northern Expedition, Zhao Guangyi took advantage of the new death of the Liao Emperor and wanted to bully the orphans and widows. However, the emperor's order and the general's order conflicted. The frontline generals rushed in without any coordination with each other. The Liao army's cavalry was sharp and responsive. Soon, the Song army was defeated.
But now, the main force of the gold thieves has been dragged away by the main force of our army in Shandong. How many troops are left behind at Yanyun? The defeat of the Golden Thief in Hebei is a reflection of the emptiness in the rear. If our army cannot seize this opportunity and go north to destroy Yanyun in one fell swoop, it will be a real failure!
Now, the golden thieves have become frightened. Under fear, no matter what we do, we are invincible to them, just like the Song army that was defeated thousands of miles away by the Jin army. "
Su Jue's plan didn't come up for no reason.
After all, they don't know what the war situation is in the south at this moment.
However, the current situation of their march north told Su Jue that the Jin army's rear was extremely empty and was not strong enough to resist their march north. If they wanted to capture Yanyun, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
At that time, Su Jue and Sun Ziyi marched north from Hejian to attack Xiongzhou and Bazhou. The officials and Jin army along the way were all frightened and did not dare to resist. As a result, they easily captured Bazhou and Xiongzhou and tore Wanyan to pieces. The bright six-state defense line.
The six-state defense line that Wan Yanliang worked so painstakingly collapsed in an instant. Except for Xiongzhou and Bazhou, the Jin troops and officials in the other states surrendered or fled north.
A large number of officials and officers abandoned their troops and defense areas and fled north, while most of the lower-level soldiers surrendered on the spot, gave up resistance, and did not fight to the death with the Liberation Army.
At that time, even a small force of the Liberation Army could easily occupy a Jin Army county town. A platoon of troops, led by their platoon leader, could forcefully land a Jin Army of several hundred people and ask them to put down their weapons when they were told to do so. When he was on the ground, he squatted on the ground, held his head in his hands, and didn't dare to move.
Being able to reach this point without the will to fight, the arrogant and powerful Jin Kingdom and Jin Army suddenly changed greatly in the eyes of the soldiers of the Liberation Army.
Because he understood Jin Jun's psychological factors at this stage, Su Jue made a suggestion.
He suggested that when Sun Tzu Yi went on the Northern Expedition under the banner of the Liberation Army, he should announce that Wan Yanliang was dead and that the Jin army had been annihilated, so as to deter the Jin army and promote their partial division of about 60,000 people as the Liberation Army. Main force.
Next, they will declare the policy of the Liberation Army, claiming that the Liberation Army only crusade and punish the Jurchens, and wants to seek justice from the Jurchens for being enslaved for decades, and has not committed any crimes against a series of ethnic groups such as the Han, Khitan, and Xi people.
"The gold thieves don't know that we haven't defeated Wan Yanliang yet. They only know that our presence here means that Wan Yanliang is finished. In this case, they must be frightened and dare not fight us.
Moreover, since we started the army, we have only attacked the Jurchens and not other tribesmen. Alang also said that we should use this to unite the people of Yanyun and resist the Jurchens together. At this moment, we must make full use of this advantage. . "
Su Jue insisted on capturing Zhongdu and Yuguan, creating good conditions for Su Yonglin to lead the main force to regain Yanyun.
They also need to publicize the achievements and policies of the Liberation Army along the way, in order to call on the Han, Khitan and other ethnic groups throughout Yanyun to rise up against the Jurchens, making it impossible for the Jurchens to gain a foothold in Yanyun.
Sun Ziyi was very surprised and admired this bold strategic plan. He couldn't help but admire the ability of the team led by Su Yonglin.
He can fight, plan, train troops, and carry out propaganda. He is so capable.
"Yuting knows people well and can use them well. He can identify talents from ordinary people and put them to good use. Therefore, the Liberation Army is full of talents. How can it not win?"
So Sun Tzu Yi accepted Su Jue's strategic plan and decided to implement the plan with him.
