In mid-July, Yue Fei convened the commanders of various armies in Kaifeng to deploy attack strategies.

According to Yue Fei's arrangement, Zhe Kecun was the commander of the South Selected Front Army, with Hailasu and Murong Xiahan as deputy, leading the nine Tiger Lieutenant Army, the sixteenth and seventeenth armies to fight south. Among them, the nine Helasu's nine armies were elite cavalry, the sixteenth and sixteenth armies of the Tiger Lieutenant Army, all infantry and army except the cavalry generals were used to travel with horses to ensure the attack speed.

The Sixteenth and Seventeenth Army suffered great losses in the Western Expedition. Later, during the reorganization process, they obtained a large number of Xia army prisoners, and the number of cavalrymen accounted for more than 50% of the two armies, and their strength increased greatly. This strength advantage made them bear the heavy responsibility of this southward battle without any suspense. As a result, Murong Xiahan also became the object of envy of the generals of the various army. During the Western Expedition, they made many contributions, and this southern expedition, they went deep into the hinterland of the Jianghuai area. Once the army captured the Jianghuai, Zhe Kecun and Murong Xiahan would be the first to be successful.

"The key to fighting south is speed. The speed must be fast, and the rebels must be caught off guard." Yue Fei instructed, "From Kaifeng south, along the Cai River, Yingshui to the Huai River, there should be no great resistance along the way. You can increase the speed to the limit. Remember, don't attack the city, and don't fight, go south all the way and kill the Huai River."

"In the Huaihe section of Shouzhou, Yingshui and WoShui all intersect with the Huaihe River. Among them, Xia Cai, the capital of Shouzhou, is located at the intersection of WoShui and Huaihe River." Yue Fei pointed to Shouzhou on the map and pointed hard a few times, "You cross the river from the intersection of Yingshui and Huaihe River, avoid the important town of Xia Cai in Shouzhou, and then go straight to Luzhou."

"Don't attack Hefei, Luzhou Prefecture, or nearby counties, only villages and towns along the way to replenish food and grass."

"After you arrive in Luzhou, you have two choices. One is to continue to go south into Hezhou and cross the river to fight Dangtu; the other is to go east to Chuzhou and approach Jiangning. Qingliu City, Chuzhou Zhifu, is only more than 100 miles away from Jiangning Prefecture. Under normal circumstances, after you reach Chuzhou, the situation in Jiangning will be extremely tense, and you can basically achieve the expected goals."

"Dangtu is only two hundred miles away from Jiangning, but Dangtu is on the south bank of the Yangtze River, you must cross the river to fight. If you capture Dangtu, it will be a great threat to Jiangning. However, considering that our goal this time is to capture the Huaihe River defense line, my opinion is that you will enter Chuzhou with the main force to fight, send a side army to cross the river to fight, and attack Jiangning in two groups, causing great panic to the rebels, thus forcing Jiangning to quickly transfer troops from the Huaihe River defense line to return to aid, so that your goal of going south to fight will be successfully completed."

Zhe Kecun, Murong Xiahan looked at the map and focused on his mind.

They are unwilling to cross the river to fight. The Yangtze River is a natural danger. Whether it is crossing the river and entering the south of the Yangtze River or withdrawing from the south of the Yangtze River, there are huge dangers. If you are not careful, it will be a disaster for the entire army to be wiped out.

"Ship Yue, this time we went south, we went deeper alone, so it is not advisable to divide the troops." Zhe Kecun thought for a long time, but he still expressed his own opinions in person.

"I just suggest." Yue Fei said seriously, "What do you do after leaving Kaifeng? I don't care about hitting me. I just need to kill the Yangtze River as quickly as possible, approach Jiangning, and force the rebels south of the Huai River to retreat quickly."

Zhe Kecun nodded, very satisfied with Yue Fei's words. To be honest, he didn't believe Yue Fei, thinking that Yue Fei was not able to command such a war that was related to the great cause of unification. When he was in the northwest, Yue Fei was still practicing martial arts in his hometown of Tangyin, and Yue Fei could not compare with him in terms of qualifications or achievements. Of course, Zhe Kecun had no more complaints. In the battlefield of the Central Plains, Wang Yuan was older than him. Ying Qin and Luo Lan in the Huli Army were also powerful generals who had fought for more than ten years. They could serve as the commander of the battlefield of the Central Plains. Since these three people had no complaints, he would not show his anger on the face.

Everyone knows the relationship between Li Hu and Yue Fei, but what is confusing is that, in theory, the relationship between Roland and Li Hu is closer, but Li Hu trusts Yue Fei more, and even handed over such a war related to the life and death of the Hu Lie Army to Yue Fei for command. This shows Li Hu's trust and value for Yue Fei. But, does Yue Fei really have such ability? Is his military talent enough to make up for his lack of combat experience?

Zhe Kecun came to Kaifeng with such doubts. After listening to Yue Fei's entire attack strategy, he admitted that Yue Fei's military talent exceeded his own, especially when Yue Fei told him with great certainty that he was fully responsible for the battle southwards. Only then did he realize that Yue Fei did have his extraordinary features.

If the commanders on the Central Plains battlefield were Wang Yuan and Zhe Kecun, the command methods of these two must be limited to the past combat thinking. Relatively speaking, there would be very little command power to the subordinates, and they would never give absolute trust and complete command power like Yue Fei.

Zhe Kecun can now go south with confidence, and his battle is full of confidence.

"How long do you give me?" Zhe Kecun asked.

Yue Fei thought for a moment and said, "We meet on the north bank of the Yangtze River."

Zhe Kecun and Murong Xiahan looked at each other and smiled. Yue Fei gave them enough time, but also gave them heavy pressure. In other words, they could not retreat across the Huai River without Yue Fei's order.

"You are entering the hinterland of Jianghuai and approaching Jiangning. The purpose is very obvious. Jiangning's rebellion must be seen. The rebels on the north bank of the Huaihe River will not retreat immediately." Yue Fei continued, "So if you want to achieve the purpose of attack, it is far from enough to threaten Jiangning across the river. You must fight a few victories in the Jianghuai area."

"We can foresee that when you reach Chuzhou and Yangzhou, the rebels south of the Yangtze River and the rebels in Jianghuai Prefecture County will quickly pounce on you. You must defeat them to truly threaten Jiangning's security, and at the same time completely cut off the material replenishment of the rebels in the southern Huai River. Only when the situation reaches this point will Jiangning order the troops in the northern Huai River to retreat and rescue."

Zhe Kecun and Murong Xiahan nodded repeatedly and agreed with Yue Fei's judgment. The battle of Jianghuai is not easy to fight. If the 30,000 army wants to defeat the rebels' siege, it will indeed take a lot of effort.

"The key to this battle is speed, and it is to catch the enemy off guard. As long as you maintain the speed, you can catch the enemy off guard at any time." Yue Fei sneered, "Even if Jiangning dispatches more than 100,000 troops to siege you, you can still deal with it calmly."

"According to the words of Yue Shuai, if we don't fight for the strong city, we won't compete with the enemy for gains and losses in one city or another." Murong Xiahan smiled, "We will make full use of the advantages of the horse army and annihilate the enemy's living forces in the field. When we kill the enemy almost all, the rebels north of the Huai River will retreat."

"Speed, the speed of attacking the enemy must be fast." Yue Fei said, "You must take the initiative to annihilate the enemy, take the initiative to find fighter jets, and attack the enemy as much as possible. After you win three or four consecutive battles, Jiangning will not be able to support you, and you must transfer troops from the north bank of the Huaihe River to help. The length of this time directly determines whether we can defeat the main force of Shandong Jin army in Kaifeng."

Zhe Kecun, Murong Xiahan understood it and took the order and left.

The Kaifeng local army generals led by Wang Yuan pretended to be the main force of the Tiger Lie Army and headed to the Yingtian Prefecture battlefield to restrain the rebels in the direction of Yingtian Prefecture.

Wang Gui, the commander of the Central Army, led the Tenth Army of Huli, the 11th Army, and the commander of the Right Army, led the Fourteenth Army of Huli, the 15th Army, and the commander of the Front Army, Han Shizhong, led the Selected Front Army, and the 20th Army of Huli, entered Kaifeng City.

The commander of the Later Army, Song Jiang led the 18th Army of the Tiger and Martyrs, and the 19th Army was stationed in Zhongmu.

Luoyang's Grand Commander Ying Qin led the second army of Huli, and the fifth army was stationed on the Baima line in Huazhou, confronting the Jin army in Hebei across the river.

Wang Yan's troops of the Eighth Army of Hedong entered the Central Plains battlefield, followed Yue Fei's dispatch, stationed in Ji County, Weizhou, and confronted the Jin army in Hebei on the front line of Xiangzhou.

Lu Junyi's troops of the Seventh Hedong Hulie Army were stationed in Longde Prefecture and were also assigned to the Central Plains battlefield to accept Yue Fei's command.

"The envoy of the Privy Council, Dong, has issued a letter to recruit Yang Keshi, the general manager of Qinfeng Road, to lead the 26th Army of Huliu and the 27th Army to the Central Plains battlefield."

Yue Fei stood in front of the map and explained the current military configuration to the generals.

"Liu Guangshi, deputy general manager of Pingxia Road, led the 30th Hulie Army to Taiyuan. He will join the Bohai King Gao Baolong and the deputy general of the Shooting Grain Army, Hu Litao, to the Central Plains together."

"Chang'an will also transfer the 5,000 Tiger Guards and Wang Dazhong's 10,000 Palace Front Army."

"In two months, the main force of the Tiger Lie Army on the Central Plains battlefield will reach 200,000, and there will be 50,000 Kaifeng local army and 30,000 Dian Beijiao Army, which will have the conditions for a decisive battle."

"Zhe Kecun, Murong Xiahan led an army of 30,000 to the Yangtze River and Huai River to fight. If nothing unexpected happens, they will arrive at the bank of the Huai River within six to eight days." Yue Fei paused for a moment, glanced across the faces of the generals, and then said solemnly, "Six days later, the former army Han Shizhong and the left army Lin Chong led their troops across the Bian River, advanced along the Guangji River to Liangshanpo, and launched an attack on Shandong."

"Zhe Kecun crossed the Huai River, entered the hinterland of Jianghuai, and threatened Jiangning, and would surely shake the southeast. This news will be quickly transmitted to Shandong. In order to support the southeast, Wanyan Talan of Shandong will definitely gather more troops to launch a show of the situation. We took the opportunity to retreat to Kaifeng and attract Shandong Jin army to the Central Plains battlefield."

"The decisive battle is in the Kaifeng area." Yue Fei turned around and pointed to the map, drew a circle on both sides of the Guangji River, "We deployed our main force on both sides of the Guangji River, and just waited for the Jin army to approach Kaifeng, we launched an attack."

"Whether it can occupy Shandong is in this battle." Yue Fei looked at the generals and waved his arms vigorously, "If the Jin army is wiped out, Shandong will be at your fingertips; if the enemy is severely damaged, we can still easily recover Shandong."
