The war is imminent, but the coming Spring Festival still brings a hint of joy to the dull island. Zhao Bing ordered the guards to give them two pays to the camp in batches, to relieve the tension after entering the court; secondly, he knew that this might be the last Spring Festival for some people, so it would be better to make them happy.?                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Zhao Bing felt that the boat was much safer than in the palace, at least not so many spy lines, so he would discuss important matters on the Sheji. On a large long table in the command room on the third floor was a sand table of Yashan Island marked with island reefs, waterways, mountains, villages, woods, streams and wells around the island. All the situation was clear at a glance. This was the result of his "fishing" before him. Chen Renweng, Han Zhen, Ni Liang and Zheng Yong accompanied the emperor to discuss combat plans.

"Your Majesty, I finally think that the decisive battle with the enemy is best at sea, so that we can ensure that the camp will not be lost. We will use our strengths to attack the enemy's shortcomings and have a great chance of victory!" After hearing His Majesty's introduction to the current situation, Chen Renweng looked for a moment and pointed to the southeastern sea outside Doumen and said.

"Well, I also thought that the decisive battle between the island and the enemy was appropriate in the offshore sea. But I thought that although there were not many places suitable for Yashan Island to climb 6, I still had to prevent the enemy from abandoning the boat to land in order to leverage its advantages in infantry battles. Therefore, the defense on the island should be strengthened, especially these two places!" Han Zhen still looked dead and said with no expression.

"Well, you continue talking!" Zhao Bing nodded, saying no.

"The terrain is relatively flat at the southwest end of Yashan Island, suitable for climbing 6. If the enemy enters here from Doumen, they can go straight to the palace, threaten the safety of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, and control the port, so that our army will collapse without fighting. In addition, although the waterway between Dongnengzhou and Sanjiangzhou is narrow, it can still pass through a thousand stone warship after the high tide. If the enemy goes by, they can go down from the north when the tide is low, so that the navy we are moored there will be attacks on the backs of the enemy. Therefore, we should also send troops to set up defenses on both continents to control the waterway to prevent the enemy's sneak attacks." Han Zhenyan said.

"Ni Liang, what do you think?" Zhao Bing turned his face and asked Ni Liang standing behind him.

"Your Majesty, I think they said everything well. The island must be kept. So many of us need firewood and fresh water to live on it. If they occupy the island, we can just cut off the water source and trap us to death. That's all, I don't know if what I said is right?" Ni Liang scratched his scalp and said with a silly smile.

"It's great!" Zhao Bing said with a smile, "The most feared that there is no fresh water available for boaters. If you don't eat and drink water, you can live for seven days. If you are cut off for three days, you will die. It's great that you can think of this."

"Your Majesty, I think the sooner the decisive battle with the enemy, the better. In the battle of the East China Island, the Jinghu naval army that often traveled on the water all fell into the sea and vomited and waved, and could not even support the archery. I think these northern soldiers were not much better when they first boarded the ship, and they were all shipmen and sailors from the southern Fujian area. It was difficult for them to control the advance and retreat when they first arrived. If our army attacked head-on before they gathered, they would definitely win." Chen Renweng said with a smile.

"Well, your ideas are very good. You can refine this plan!" Zhao Bing thought about it after listening.

When several people saw that His Majesty agreed with their ideas, they were of course very happy. Even Han Zhen showed a smile on his black face. They all knew that the reason why Qiongzhou is today is because he understood that many strange and powerful weapons and the combat policies he formulated made the Qiongzhou Army win huge victories at an extremely small price in several naval battles. Therefore, His Majesty, who existed like a god in the Qiongzhou Army, now asked them to formulate detailed combat plans to illustrate His Majesty's recognition of their command ability.

After the four men received the order from His Majesty, they did not rashly write, but first communicated with Cai Qiao, Lin Zhiwu and Jiang Zongjie, who were familiar with the situation of Yashan, and had a comprehensive understanding of the geography of Yashan, the organization, training conditions and combat effectiveness of the various armies of the court, as well as the laws of the tide, weather changes, and even the composition of the dynasty personnel, food reserves, the place of righteousness, the release of food and wages, etc., which seemed to be unrelated to the battle, were also asked. Then they began to study how to arrange troops and allocate tasks.

Zhao Bing was very pleased to look at the people who were discussing seriously. If they came up to compare the sand table and handed him a combat plan, then he would definitely throw it into the brazier and would not even look at it. Now they tirelessly asked about the situation they were unclear, checked the relevant information, and made detailed analysis of the combat effectiveness of both the enemy and us before they began to study the combat plan, which showed that they were no longer reckless men who only knew how to lead troops to fight, but were generals who knew how to use their brains to find ways.

Zhao Bing did not join their discussion, but instead held his cheeks on the other end of the sand table and looked at the sea marked above. He knew that the opportunity for the combat plan formulated by these people could be adopted was about zero, but the reason why they made this plan was to test their organization and command capabilities, and the other was to allow them to understand the basic situation of Yashan. What he was worried about was that not only himself, but even 6 Xiufu and the ministers could not stop Zhang Shijie from going alone, and still used the strategy of connecting iron chains and building a village to defend against the enemy.

When the Song army had superior military strength and number of warships, countless people in later generations expressed their confusion about Zhang Shijie's choice of a self-destructive tactic, and Zhao Bing also discussed it with others. Some people thought that he was a northerner and an infantry general, so they did not understand water war, so they adopted this kind of tactic of infantry forming formations and defending themselves; some people thought he was just a mediocre talent, and because of the situation, he was forced to ascend to a high position and gain the highest command. As a result, he misled others and himself and became a gravedigger in the Song Dynasty. There was a more extreme statement that Zhang Shijie was simply a spy who invaded the Song Dynasty, and in this way he wanted to cooperate with his clan brother Zhang Hongfan to capture the Song Dynasty.
