"The best strategy is to ignore Changge in the north and Ying in the south. When the enemy's troops are divided up and down, Lord Taishan will abandon Han Shizhong, gather the entire army from here and attack Yanling City! By then, not only will a great victory be expected, but also the enemy will be defeated.

Taishan surpassed the Fourth Prince and became the first contributor to this expedition to the south!"

"You know nothing!" Talan shook his head after hearing this. "I won't say that your strategy is too worrying about whether you can capture Yanling in a short time, nor will I say that Han Shizhong is a tiger-like figure who cannot relax until he is dead... I

I just want to ask you, your father-in-law and I still have great military merits at this time? To become the deputy marshal of the Marshal's Mansion, with only a few Bo Jilie, do you really think that with what military merits I can step on the inheritance of several Taizu families?

Is it? If I want to take a step forward in the future, I can only rely on the grace of the king."

Pucha Falcon Balu was a little stunned, but he still understood something, and then nodded slightly: "Master Taishan is right... the child is young and ignorant... then what's the right strategy?"

"What does Zhongce say?"

"Naturally, we went step by step and called Yelu Mawu to go south to protect Changge, and then notified Linying to make preparations. Now, the boy is taking ten elite Meng'an to cross the Zhuogu River to the west bank... It's on time.

He took the opportunity, and the cavalry rushed up, crushing alive the main force of the Song Army that dared to fight the most under Linying City! After this battle, although the Song Army still has a large scale, it must be discouraged, and can only sit back and watch us waste away the four soldiers.

City, things went back to normal."

Talan hesitated for a moment, then continued to ask: "What's the next best thing?"

"The next step is actually simpler... Ignore Linying, I will cross the Qingshui River and wait for orders. When the enemy makes a move, I will directly use the advantage of the cavalry to set up an ambush at the foot of Changge City, and then attack the first army from the north.

The Song Army can do that."

"What is this?" Ta Lai was puzzled for a moment. "What do you mean?"

"Taishan, think about it... What is the key to this battle? Is it Xiping, Xiangcheng, or Yancheng? None of them. For us, the most important thing is Changshe or Han Shizhong."

"This is very appropriate." Talan suddenly realized. "I understand what you mean... Changshe is the foundation, Changge is the retreat, so it is also the place that must be saved. Gains and losses in Linying do not matter, the key is the path.

It's still a long time and we still have to cross the river. The Song army is still late in setting off, so if we can quickly defeat the enemy army under the cover of Changge, then the Song army may not dare to attack Linying anymore?"

"Master Taishan said it thoroughly." Falcon Balu praised him repeatedly, but he said it again seriously. "So, sir, just make your decision, and then just sit here and let me go and defeat the enemy!"

Talan hesitated for a moment, but then said slowly: "I think the next step is the best!"

Pucha Falcon Balu nodded immediately... He didn't think he had to choose a certain strategy. His father-in-law was becoming more and more lazy, so it would be good if he could make a decision.

However, Talan couldn't help but explain a few more words: "Fulcan Balu, I have already refuted your best strategy, so I won't say more. In fact, according to my opinion, it should be the safest and best strategy.

...But I have also fought in the army and hunted with Emperor Taizu, and I also have some thoughts on the art of war... In military affairs, the simpler, the better! Any strategies or ideas, the more you think about them, the more you think about them.

The more you do, the more likely it is that something will happen! And don’t delay! There is a saying in the Song Dynasty that changes come with delay! That’s why I chose your last strategy!”

"Master Taishan is absolutely right!" Pucha Falcon Balu immediately sat up straight and responded. "Then I will order my troops and horses to cross the river and wait for orders. I will just wait for the military intelligence from the front to report, and then directly dispatch the camera?"

"Go!" Talan simply nodded, but warned again. "When I went out, I asked the civilian husband camp Wang Canjun who was waiting at the door to keep an eye on Li Kui these days..."

"Here!" Falcon Balu didn't hesitate anymore, stood up and left as ordered.

After Wanyan Tarlan watched his son-in-law leave the tent, he continued to eat breakfast with his head down. However, after taking a mouthful of porridge, he realized that it was already cold. However, he took several photos of the porridge and yelled, which shocked countless scribes outside the tent.

The soldiers and attendants came in one after another, but they quickly gave the right deputy marshal of the Kingdom of Jin some hot food.

After breakfast, Ta Lanfu summoned the rest of the army to sit quietly in the central army tent. Countless Jin army sentries and cavalry were also coming and going like a revolving lantern, constantly sending messages from the Song army at Yanling.

Excellent war horses can reach dozens of miles per hour in a short period of time regardless of their horsepower. Therefore, the movement of the Song army is basically only half an hour behind the main camp of the Jin army.

Sure enough, in the morning, a horse galloped to the front of the tent, but he dismounted and directly brought a key military information. It was that after morning, a section of the Song Army suddenly set off to the north along the Jishui River. The flag seemed to be from the Tokyo Remaining Division.

Control the Magao tribe...

This was the sudden action of the Song Army after the two sides had "coexisted peacefully" for dozens of days. Ma Gao was also a well-known commander of the Tokyo Stay-behind Division. Many uninformed people in the tent were naturally shocked by it, but Talan knew it well.

But he didn't care, and even issued a military order, telling his son-in-law, who had already formed a complete formation on the east bank of Qinggong River, to be patient and wait a little longer.

Then, news continued to be passed on. After Ma Gao, at least four commanders, Liu Wenshun, Ma You, and Xu Yan, were marching north together. Not only that, there were also troops of similar size marching north on the other side of the Jishui River.

Tarlan did not hesitate at this time... Not to mention how many Song troops were on the other side of the Jishui River, these four commanders were enough to be worthy of the word "pretence", so he immediately sent the order and let the sentry cavalry rely on their numerical advantage to hunt down the Song Dynasty.

The military sentry cavalry ensured that the Song army's vision was insufficient; on the other hand, he simply asked his son-in-law to lead Wanqi to set out for an ambush at the foot of Changge City.

Another hour passed, and it was estimated that his son-in-law had gone far away. The sentry cavalry came again to report that there was suddenly a troop with a banner with the word "Yue" under the Yanling City opposite, and they began to move out, coming diagonally to the southwest...

...The reason why I say coming, not going, is because Changshe is located due west of Yanling. For the time being, the straight-line distance between the two sides is shrinking slightly...Then the sentry rider also said that although this army deliberately stopped its activities, but

Judging from its quantity and quality, it is definitely not ordinary.

Ta Lai became more and more certain, but naturally he still didn't take it seriously.

After noon, the Sentinel Cavalry reported that Song Army Yue Fei's troops had arrived at the lower reaches of the Gishui River. After a short pause, they were probably trying to rest and then cross the river. At this time, it goes without saying that Pucha Falcon Balu should have almost arrived.

We arrived at Changge, which is further away.

Lazy and bored, he just waited for Yue Fei to cross the river, then prepared to dissolve the military meeting and go to catch up on his sleep.

But the next moment, a horseman galloped to the door of the military tent, sweating profusely, and went straight into the Chinese army's tent to tell him something: "Marshal! Yue Fei suddenly changed his direction and attracted 20,000 people to rush here!"

The room was filled with silence, and Talan didn't react at the first moment. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea. When he looked up again, he saw countless people below him staring at him. He was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized:

"Yue Fei is coming to me?"
