Then you may have to ask, Shen Mo’s previous strategic goals were the former land of the Song Dynasty and the sixteen states of Yanyun south of the Jin Dynasty.

But why did he go to Nanjing, Jin Kingdom first stop?

The main reason here is logistics issues.

On the one hand, the Jin Kingdom was crossing the Huainan East Road and the occupied area of ​​the Mongolian Army. There was no problem when Shen Mo's army drove over.

However, during the war, the field army's military rations and ammunition supplements had to pass through the territory of the Jin Kingdom.

This is a big hidden danger for Shen Mo's army fighting in the front.

At least in Shen Mo's personality, he is the kind of person who "I can't stab you with a knife, but the handle of the knife must be held in my hands."

If Shen Mo put this important wartime supply line into the hands of the king and minister of the Jin Kingdom, it would be equivalent to the fate of the entire army dependent on the other party's character.

For Shen Mo, this battle is of great importance and concerns the lives of thousands of soldiers, so he must not be so rash.

At the same time, the strategic situation between Tongzhou and Mongolia has quietly changed in recent years.

The mission of the Jin Kingdom as a barrier in Tongzhou has been completed.

Now that this shield has lost its function, the Jin Kingdom has no need to exist anymore.

Under such circumstances, Shen Mo came with the entire army with great victory, and the eight main forces gathered in Nanjing.

At this moment, I wanted to talk, but it was all in Shen Mo's thoughts! So the ruler and ministers of the Jin Kingdom should be wiser at this time, otherwise Shen Mo would not mind using an annihilation battle to make these people sober.

...At this moment, after several years of continuous anti-Mongolia wars, the situation seemed even more chaotic.

Nowadays, in the small territory of the Jin Kingdom, all the territory can be divided into three types: the first type has only one city, which is Nanjing.

This is the base camp of the Jin Dynasty to resist the Mongol invasion and also the defensive position they focus on.

For three or four years, they have relied on Nanjing and even made hundreds of miles forward.

It occupied several strategic areas in northern Nanjing and guarded the Yellow River.

The second type of territory is the transportation line to Tongzhou behind Nanjing.

This line is the major artery of the Jin Kingdom. If Shen Mo had not continuously transfusion blood to the Jin Kingdom through this line and transported gunpowder raw materials and fire dragon cannons to the Jin Kingdom, they would have been finished under the iron hooves of the Mongols.

Therefore, the Jin Dynasty's protection of this artery was extremely strict, making this line a strategic location second only to Nanjing, the heart.

As for the third type of territory, it is the remote areas of the Jin Kingdom.

Until now, there is basically no one to care about these places.

Because these places are territories that do not matter from strategic position to material assets.

The reason why they are still under the rule of the Jin Kingdom is that for a ridiculous reason... the Mongolian army and the Tongzhou army are not interested in it! In other words, this third type of territory is a place where people are not too scarce to want.

Because these places are far away from Nanjing, some of them were even divided by the Mongolian army, so the local taxes and grain cannot be collected.

The reason why they still belong to the territory of the Jin Kingdom on the surface was purely based on the good character of the local officials and guards there, and they did not rebel or surrender to the enemy.

This is the case in the Jin Kingdom today: a large fortress, Nanjing, a crucial lifeline, and a scattered circle of territories that have no effect.

Over the years, the Jin Dynasty has been able to survive with the support of Shen Mo in Tongzhou.

So at this time, Shen Mo came with heavy troops. At this moment, it is easy to imagine how nervous the Emperor Wanyan Chenglin and his men would be.

...Along the way Shen Mo and his team marched north, he naturally expressed his heart to Marshal Jiang who had been separated for many days, so he was as good as mixing oil in honey.

At the same time, Shen Mo soon discovered that there was a person in the team that was a little wrong! It was the blood-handed Liu Ming. At the beginning, Shen Mo didn't think it was, but after a few days, he felt that the combat hero was a bit dodging.

It seemed like he had stolen something from the commander... When he thought of this, Shen Mo's eyes immediately turned! He seemed to have figured out something... Then Shen Mo turned around and looked at Chen Yaoguang who was following the team.

At this time, Chen Yaoguang was walking immediately. As soon as she looked up, she saw the teacher's gaze looking over.

Chen Yaoguang was stunned just now, and saw his teacher taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, with a bit of bad intention on his face and silently saying a few words on his lips... Chen Yaoguang could tell at a glance that the teacher was saying: "Have you succeeded?"

Chen Yaoguang knew that the teacher was talking about her and Liu Ming, and the girl was embarrassed for a moment, but she was not good at answering.

She sat on the horse and frowned, with a smile under her face, and nodded with a bit of impatient look.

Then she saw the teacher's eyebrows, and it leaped a few times... So Chen Yaoguang quickly turned his face! Jiang Yuxin next to her saw her husband at a glance, looking like he was full of eyebrows.

At the same time, I also found the shy expression of Chen Yaoguang's face.

Of course, Marshal Jiang was inconvenient to say it out loud, but she still sighed in her heart with a funny look.

The situation in front of you is a secret code that a father and daughter exchanges in a heart-to-heart relationship.

When Jiang Yuxin saw this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Her husband is so good to the children of Tianjiao Camp!...Eighty hundred and seventy miles from Xiangyang to Nanjing, Shen Mo's entire cavalry unit arrived at the city of Nanjing six days later.

Shen Mo's actions this time were very interesting. He did not go to the south gate of Nanjing, which was the passage where the Tongzhou army often used to transport equipment to the Jin Kingdom.

He led his troops directly to the north of Nanjing and set up a military camp between the Nanjing city wall and the Yellow River.

Shen Mo's move is very intriguing, showing that he did not pass by here or came to visit his old friend.

As soon as he came here, he acted as if he had something to do here, which made the king and ministers of the Jin Kingdom in Nanjing even more nervous.

Before Shen Mo could summon him, all the four giants in Nanjing took the initiative to leave the city and came to the military camp to pay homage to Shen Mo.

This situation is actually very strange, because Wanyan Chenglin, who is the leader here, is still an emperor no matter what.

Usually in terms of identity, it is inconvenient for him to leave the city to visit a general from another country.

But everyone knew in their hearts how long the Jin Kingdom could exist under the Mongols' iron hooves, all in the mind of Shen Mo outside the city! So now, when it comes to etiquette and other matters, whoever cares about etiquette is a fool.
