"I'm afraid it's quite a lot." Guo Hao frowned and said, "The Jin people were defeated last year, and they won't just sit back and do nothing this year."

"We currently have 50,000 people, 200 artillery pieces, and 2,000 muskets. We are just afraid that the Jin people will not come!" said General Staff Lu Lu.

"We can't be so frivolous." Yu Yunwen said, "Gunpowder is expensive and the quantity is limited. Now that the Jin have heavy artillery, the role of the city is greatly weakened. We will definitely have to fight in the field with the Jin."

"If we could beat them last year, we can definitely beat them this year!" Lu Chen continued.

Yu Yunwen pondered.

After a moment, Guo Hao raised his eyes and asked, "Prefect Yu, what are you thinking about?"

"I wonder how long we can hold on."

"What do you mean, how long can we hold on!" Guo Hao was not happy anymore, "Since we are going to fight, we must fight to win!"

"The Jin people's ambition to seize the Yinshan Mountain this time is as solid as a rock. A large number of elites must come here. It was a lucky move to defeat the Jin army last year. Don't take this lucky move for granted." Yu Yunwen stood in front of the map and looked at it. The map is like Yuan Ting Yue Zhi, "And this year's battle will definitely not be as simple as Anbei Mansion."

Guo Hao and Lu Xi looked at each other, and Guo Hao said: "I know what you said, the Xixia people will also send troops, and the Wanggu people may start to be duplicitous again."

"Maybe more than that."

"Then what else?" Guo Hao asked doubtfully, "Is it possible that Jin Wushu wants to lead the troops in person?"

Lu Mi smiled and said: "Then we have to entertain him well!"

"No! Don't you notice it?" Yu Yunwen turned around and looked at them both with bright eyes.

"Perceive what?"

"Last year, the imperial court once again reiterated its prohibition and cooperation with Xixia!"

The two people looked at each other, completely confused as to why Yu Yunwen suddenly withdrew to the imperial court and Xixia for discussion when he was analyzing the upcoming battle of Yinshan.

"So?" Lu Xi touched his forehead, "What does this matter have to do with us?"

"Yes! Do you remember what the Xixia envoy said when he came last year?"

Guo Hao was startled and said: "That guy said that Dongsheng Prefecture belongs to Xixia and that he wants to fight!"

"Then why do you think Xixia sent this person?"

"Scare us into retreating?"

"That's right, but we didn't retreat, so what will the Xixia people do next?"

Lu Xi said: "Unite the Jin people to deal with us?"

"Yes!"

"You are a thief! If a Xixia man dares to come, I will be the first to whip him!"

"Brother Guo, please be patient." Yu Yunwen said, "What we can think of, the court must also be able to think of, and Wu Shuai must have already known it in his mind."

"so what?"

"The imperial court is repairing its relationship with Xixia, not really intending to continue doing business with Xixia."

"I understand. It is to paralyze the Xixia people and make them worry when they attack us."

"It's not just that." Yu Yunwen continued, "I ask you, how are the soldiers of the Sixth Route of Shaanxi now?"

"How do I know this?" Guo Hao said, "It was eight years ago that I left Shaanxi with Wu Shuai. I went to Hedong at the end of the second year of Jingkang and never went back."

"Let me tell you, Anbei Mansion is not only trying to occupy the Yinshan Mountains to prepare for future attacks on the grasslands, but at this stage it is also trying to cut off the Jin Army's westward advance and prepare a layout for the imperial court to destroy Xixia!"

As soon as Yu Yunwen said these words, the two of them were shocked and speechless.

"When will the imperial court send troops to Xixia?" Guo Hao immediately became excited.

"Maybe...maybe next year?" Lu Xi said.

"No! It's probably this year!" Yu Yunwen stared at the map, "If Shaanxi sets out to conquer Xia and the Jin army comes to my Anbei Mansion, the defenders of Yanmen Pass will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. If I take charge of the Military and Political Council, I will order Commander Yue to send troops.

Yan Yun, to check and balance the Jin Kingdom!"

The scene suddenly fell into dead silence.

Yu Yunwen sighed and said: "That's why I said that we must hold on longer to contain the Jin army and buy time for the imperial court to destroy Xia."

Guo Hao and Lu Xi immediately felt that the meaning of the current war was completely different, and it was simply sublimated.

"What should we do now?"

"How many troops the commander of Jin Army Yunzhong Mansion wants to send from Yunzhong is still weighing how many troops there may be at Yanmen Pass. What is the total number of additional troops that Jin Wushu will eventually send to Yunzhong Mansion. He is also weighing whether Commander Yue will attack Yanyun with a large army.

, the whole game of chess has not yet been concluded. The Jin Army is now frequently active in the north of the Yellow River, deliberately luring us to attack, but their real purpose..."

Yu Yunwen closed his eyes and his brain was working very hard.

"Their real purpose is to let us dispatch cavalry to cross the Yellow River, and use elite cavalry to divide our forces and go south to raid the logistics supply line from Fuzhou to Dongshengzhou, and then to Anbei Prefecture. Therefore, we cannot move and remain unchanged in response to changes!"

"Prefect Yu means that we should fight a defensive war?"

"No, we will deploy our troops on this line from Fuzhou to Anbei Prefecture. Keeping this line means that there will be a steady stream of supplies coming out of the pass, and we can extend the time of the war infinitely."

After this pause, both Guo Hao and Lu Xi took a deep breath.

Not to mention whether the overall situation that Yu Yunwen had guessed before was correct, but as for what to do now, he analyzed it very clearly.

Guo Hao touched the fine sweat on his forehead and said, "Your Majesty sent you to Anbei Mansion for a reason."

"The order goes down, no matter where and at any time, if traces of the Jin Army are found, they must not pursue them and stick to their positions!"

"yes!"

On April 23, the Jin envoy arrived at the Heishan Weifu Military Division in Xixia and met the commander-in-chief Li Liangfu.

The Jin envoy said straight to the point: "General Li, our Golden Heavenly soldiers have gathered in Yunnei Prefecture. What are your plans to send troops?"

Li Liangfu was not only severely beaten by Li Yanxian in the 6th Song-Xia War, he was also severely beaten in the 7th Song-Xia War.

Oh, during the Xuanhe period, he was severely beaten by the Jin people and his 30,000-strong army was wiped out.

It can be said that this guy is Xixia's often defeated general.

But he knows how to lick, is willing to admit his mistakes, and shows his loyalty. Brother Richard has been saved several times.

The more severely a person is beaten, the more he likes to brag.

Li Liangfu said on the spot: "I now have 30,000 troops in my hands, and I can march eastward to attack the Song army at any time!"

"Okay! Let's just wait for General Li's words and hope that General Li will send troops immediately."

"what about you?"

"Our elite forces have been deployed, but we also need you to come from the west and outflank the Song army together."

Li Liangfu nodded.

"Can you please give me a specific time for dispatching troops?"

"Three days later."

"April 26th?"

"That's right!"

"Then I will go back and report to Han Dutong."

"I've given a banquet."

"There's no need for the banquet. The military situation is urgent." Jin envoy stood up and said, "Goodbye."

Just as the Jin envoy left, Lingbu Huimao on the other side said: "The King of Jin mentioned before that now that we have resumed trade with the Song people, we must exercise restraint in attacking Anbei Prefecture this time. It is best to let the Jin people do it. In this way, after the war we will

There is room for maneuver with Song Ting."

"I know!" Li Liangfu said with a smile, "Jin people like to fight so much, let them fight!"

On April 24, Yue Fei returned to Hebei and began to plan the entire line.

At the same time, Zhang Jun's troops in Chang'an, Shaanxi Province also received orders.
