Chapter 1,735 Initiative, Confidence

"I've seen Shen Longtu!"

Shen An entered the Privy Council, and many people saluted and said hello along the way.

Wen Yanbo heard the voice and said to Chen Xu and Feng Jing, deputy ministers to the Privy Council: "Do you know the purpose of Wu Ren's speech?"

Chen Xu smiled and said nothing. This was because he felt the matter was difficult and did not want to interfere.

Feng Jing was Fu Bi's son-in-law, but they had different political views.

Fu Bi was a supporter of the New Deal, but Feng Jing sided with Sima Guang and others.

He was ranked first in the Three Yuan Dynasty, won the first prize in the palace examination, and became famous for a while. He was also favored by Fu Bi and became the son-in-law of the Prime Minister.

The most important thing is that he is still a handsome guy.

All of this, to be honest, this is what idol dramas are all about, right?

Deputy Privy Councilor, the next higher up in this position is Prime Minister.

How many people would envy Feng Jing like this?

Wen Yanbo was also good to him, at least better than Chen Xu.

"This matter..." Feng Jing smiled, "The military people do not trust the Privy Council. They are worried that the strategy devised by the Privy Council will lead to defeat."

Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "It's the most accurate word in the world."

Feng Jing's nickname is "Dangshi".

"Those warriors have gradually become more prominent in recent years." Chen Xu just said this.

Wen Yanbo was silent, and Feng Jing said: "Today's warriors are not outstanding, at least not as outstanding as Di Qing back then."

Chen Xu lowered his voice, "Where is Shen An?"

Feng Jing stared at him, "Shen An is a civil servant!"

"Yes! He is a civil servant."

The atmosphere inside was somewhat unsettling.

Civil servant Shen An's most meritorious service was in martial arts, which is a bit of a slap in the face to say it sincerely.

And now the officials are even more dissatisfied with the Privy Council's Northern Expedition strategy and sent Shen An to interfere.

"Shen Longtu is here!"

When Shen An walked in, Wen Yanbo stood up and said with a smile, "I'm trying to offend you."

"Little things."

Shen An came in, everyone exchanged a few words, and then got down to business.

"This... the official asked someone to come here, but they didn't say what he was doing. Wen Xiang..."

Shen An smiled and had a pure look on his face.

Wen Yanbo said calmly: "The strategy of the Northern Expedition... the officials want you to take a look."

Would Shen An not know about this?

If he didn't know, Wen Yanbo would have dared to resign and go home to farm.

You know and still ask, obviously you want to humiliate people.

"Tell me about it."

Shen An just sat there, as if he was an examiner.

Wen Yanbo nodded, Feng Jing asked someone to get a map and began to explain.

"The troops will leave Yanmen, and the army will leave Baozhou, cross Yishui, and attack Fan Yang. After capturing Fan Yang, if the enemy intends to fight decisively, when the army comes over, it will depend on the army's ability to attack Fan Yang..."

Feng Jing pointed at Youzhou City and said: "If the attack is unfavorable, it may repeat the mistakes of the past. So the key to this battle is whether Fan Yang can be captured in time so that the army can rely on it.

If this battle goes well, then there will be a confrontation with the Liao army. The Privy Council believes that if the time is right, a decisive battle can be carried out out of the city. As long as the enemy army is defeated in one battle, the Northern Expedition will be half successful..."

Shen An's smile gradually faded.

Feng Jin felt a little uncomfortable. Under Shen An's gaze, his explanation became more and more lackluster.

"Attacking Youzhou City is the key to this campaign. Emperor Taizong's Northern Expedition was because he could not attack Youzhou City and was forced to be attacked from both sides. The teacher failed and was defeated by the enemy. Therefore, this time the Privy Council believes that the city must be filled with firearms. Head, even if Youzhou City is blown up, we can’t let our front and back be attacked.”

"Are you done?" Shen An asked when he saw that he didn't move.

Feng Jing nodded.

Of course, the Privy Council will not make detailed plans, such as how to attack. What they have to do is deploy in the general direction.

Shen An asked: "Have you considered reinforcements from Xijing Road?"

Feng Jing said confidently: "The left wing can send troops to guard."

Shen An nodded and continued to ask: "What is the purpose of sending the troops out of Yanmen?"

Feng Jing said: "The partial troops sent out to Yanmen are a diversion."

"Not brave enough!" Shen An looked a little dissatisfied.

Feng Jing smiled, "How about Shen Longtu explain it?"

He glanced at Wen Yanbo, who nodded and said: "An Bei, tell me, and let me see the plans of the famous generals in the Privy Council."

This is a run!

Shen An smiled and said: "That's what I thought!"

Wen Yanbo's face turned slightly dark, thinking that I was just talking, do you really want to crush my Privy Council?

Shen An walked over, and Feng Jing gave way and stood aside.

"I have been thinking about the Northern Expedition for a long time."

Shen An said: "The Privy Council's plan is good and quite satisfactory, but the Northern Expedition is a battle of national destiny, and legality is far from enough. What the Song Dynasty wants is sharpness! When the army attacks, it must drip like mercury on the ground and make the enemy exhausted. This is the key to the national destiny. The momentum of war is the self-confidence that can break through a century of humiliation. But none of this was seen in the Privy Council's plan."

Wen Yanbo took a deep breath, "You can tell me."

Feng Jing smiled. The Privy Council was speechless by Shen An's words. Let's see what methods he can use.

Shen An's finger crossed the map, stopped at Hedong Road, and said, "It's good to go out to Yanmen, but the restraint is a bit petty."

Feng Jing's face turned cold, and just when he was about to speak, Shen An continued: "Look here, Shuozhou breaks into between Linfu Road and Yanmen, why don't you fight?"

Feng Jing said: "This battle mainly takes place in Youyan and other places, Shuozhou..."

He looked at Shen An, his eyes hesitant.

"The first thing in this battle is momentum." Shen An felt that there were really no talented people in this group of people in the Privy Council, so that the plans they made were not attractive at all.

"What is momentum? The centuries-old grievances between the Song and Liao countries have been settled once!" Shen An pointed to Shuozhou and said dissatisfied: "Why not defeat it? Such a direct leveling filled the gap between Linfu Road and Yanmen. Linfu Lu no longer has to worry about his right wing, and more benefits..."

He looked at Wen Yanbo and said, "Hedong Road is going to be attacked fiercely. The army attacks from Yanmen and goes all the way to Shuozhou. The Liao people from Xijing Road will definitely send reinforcements. At this moment, the fiercer the attack on Hedong Road, the Liao army's reinforcements will be more……"

"Are you... besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao?"

Wen Yanbo asked, twirling his beard.

"No, it's an attack!" Shen An felt that the Privy Council lacked a proactive spirit.

Chen Xu stood up and walked over, squinting at the map, "What if the Liao army on Xijing Road ignores this?"

Shen An smiled and said, "The Hedong Road will go all the way to Datong Prefecture. Doesn't the Song Dynasty lack the courage to fight the Liao army?"

"Hedong Road now has strong troops and horses, the Western bandits have been destroyed, and the army has nothing to do. So except for part of the army being transferred to the north in this battle, what can the remaining army do? Be on guard?"

Shen An looked at everyone.

He patted the map vigorously, "Times have changed, it's time for the Liao people to be on guard against the Song Dynasty!"

How can these people formulate an excellent strategy when they are still unable to get out of the original strategic state?

"The army on the Hedong Road aims to capture Shuozhou. If the Liao army ignores it, they can immediately attack all the way to Datong Prefecture."

"Secondly, use a small group of elite flying foxes to attack Yuzhou and shock the Liao army on Xijing Road."

Wen Yanbo nodded slightly, feeling that such a method made him a little excited.

"The third way is here."

Shen An pointed to the sea and said: "The navy brought a small number of cavalry to attack and harass the Yingzhou and Luanzhou lines..."

Wen Yanbo finally couldn't help but stood up and walked over, "I didn't think about the navy."

Shen An said: "When Jiaozhi was destroyed, the navy landed to intercept enemy reinforcements and made great contributions to the army's capture of Thang Long City. Why should we ignore the navy during the Northern Expedition?"

Wen Yanbo praised: "It is indeed a good method, Anbei, please continue."

Feng Jing frowned slightly.

"The army in the middle should be huge and powerful, and there should be no surprise attacks. What is important in the middle is uprightness. The Song Dynasty should use this upright battle to warn the surrounding..."

Shen An solemnly said: "Han'er from the Han and Tang Dynasties is back again!"

Shen An is gone.

Wen Yanbo stood in front of the map for a long time, "Linfu Road is the territory of the Zhe family. It has been guarded by the Zhe family for many years. It hangs alone outside the Yellow River. Fortunately, the Western bandits were eliminated later, so it will be better. Now if we capture it After leaving Shuozhou, Linfu Road is even more in decline."

He turned around and said, "Some people say that Shen An and the Zhe family are wearing the same pair of trousers. If we present this plan, anyone who dares to speak against Shen An will be slapped in front of him."

"The Zhe family... I won't be able to do that anymore. But there is still a son from the Zhe family." Chen Xu smiled and looked in a good mood.

But the three of them were actually depressed.

Feng Jing went back and sat down, and said with a wry smile: "We have been tossing for a long time, civil and military officials gathered together, and various evolutions were made, but in the end, Shen An refuted it as useless!"

Chen Xu's smile was a little forced, "Whether it's attacking Shuozhou or attacking Yingzhou and other places, we have never thought about it."

"Because we ignored the navy."

Wen Yanbo was also a little melancholy, "Shen An initially supported the reconstruction of the Navy, but the Navy has grown step by step... Think about it..."

Feng Jing was young and a top student with a strong memory. "The navy made many achievements in attacking Jiaozhi, and later went to frighten Goryeo."

"Well!" Wen Yanbo sighed: "I want to come, UU read www.uukanshu.net The planning done by our Privy Council is actually not too bad, but compared with Shen An's, it is a little tasteless, what taste..."

He looked at Feng Jing and Chen Xu.

Feng Jing said sadly: "Shen An's thinking is too loose."

Chen Xu said: "My husband, but... are you confident?"

"It's just confidence!"

Wen Yanbo smiled bitterly and said: "Look at him pointing at the map and attacking everywhere. What is that? That is confidence. He is extremely confident in the current strength of the Song Dynasty, but we are still cautiously worried about this and that."

Feng Jing frowned and said: "My lord, in the battle for national destiny, you must be cautious."

Wen Yanbo shook his head and said: "Our prudence seems to be limiting our capabilities, but Shen An... you think it is not prudence? No matter where the arrangements are, they are distracting the Liao army's strength and disrupting their decision-making and military morale.

Look at Shuozhou. Why did he say that he wanted to conquer Shuozhou? I think at this moment he must be trying to spy on Yelu Hongji's will. If Yelu Hongji ignores him, the army on Hedong Road will be dispatched..."

Chen Xu asked: "What about Youyan's army?"

Wen Yanbo smiled and said: "Youyan's army can stop and defend."

Chen Xu was stunned, "Does that mean the purpose has been changed?"

"Yes, this battle will become an attack on Xijing Road. Once Xijing Road is captured, wait and see... The Liao Kingdom has turned into a corner of the northeast. When the Song Dynasty attacked Shangjing Road, how did Yelu Hongji defend it? It’s just a tactic based on an unpredictable situation!”

Wen Yanbo was a little excited, "The Liao people used to call the Song Dynasty Nanguo, Nanren. If they can conquer there, what should they call the Liao people? Hahahaha!"

He laughed and stood up, "What a great Shen Anbei, I will enter the palace right now."
