So this is the situation south of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

The Northern Expedition strategy proposed by Shen Mo was the plan that shocked Jiang Yuxin. It was to take a single knife and go straight to the enemy's backbone! In Shen Mo's plan, he divided the eight main forces under his command into three parts.

The troops of the first ranks set out from the present Kaifeng and went straight to the north through Hejianfu, intending to attack the depth of the Mongolian army occupied area. This army is also called the Eastern Route Army.

The second line of troops was parallel to it, but they were closer to the western route.

They would go directly to Datong along Taiyuan Prefecture and Zhending to march into the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, so they were called the Western Route Army.

The most exciting and adventurous thing in Shen Mo's plan is the third way.

The mission of this third unit was to set out from Dengzhou, Shandong to cross the sea, and land directly from the enemy's hinterland, Jizhou, one of the sixteen prefectures in Yanyun! In other words, Shen Mo did not intend to push the sea from south to north, but crossed the sea and penetrated directly into the enemy's rear.

According to Shen Mo's vision, the Yanyun defense line of the Mongolian army occupied the dangerous terrain of the Yanshan Mountains, so it would be difficult to fight.

In this case, his two armies from east to west marched north from Hejian Prefecture and Zhending at the same time.

At that time, the Mongolian probe Ma Chi army stationed in Yanyun area will be forced to go south to support their troops.

After that, when Shen Mo personally led the Northern Army to land in Jizhou.

He actually led the cunning jackal out of Yanshan.

Then Shen Mo directly seized the Yanshan line and completely locked the enemy in, forming a force of closing the door and beating the dog.

According to Shen Mo's prediction, after the battle is over.

Originally, the entire territory of the Jin Kingdom could be in your own hands.

Among them, the densely populated areas south of the Yanshan Mountains will be under his direct control. At the same time, he will also sit on the Yanshan line from now on, which can serve as a barrier to resist the Mongolian army.

At the same time, the northern part of the Jin Kingdom was in the hands of his disciple Lu Wuju.

In other words, after this battle, the land area directly and indirectly under Shen Mo's control was almost as large as the three Southern Song dynasties! Shen Mo also planned for a long time this time for military plans.

After four years of careful preparation, once it is launched, it will be a thunderous momentum!... Of course, in addition to Shen Mo's eight main forces, there are many troops here that also need to participate in the cooperation of the operation.

The first of these is the second-line troops in Shandong.

After Yang Miaozhen's Red Coat Army officially entered Shen Mo's military system, in addition to the four main forces of "Shanxing, Dongxing, Hongxing, and Aoxing", the Shandong Army also had 20,000 local garrison troops.

They are slightly inferior to the four main forces of the Shandong Army in terms of equipment, training and personnel, and are usually responsible for guarding the entire Shandong territory.

Now, this army set out from Shandong before Shen Mo led the main force to march northward, occupying the Guide Mansion and the Daming Mansion of the Jin Dynasty.

On the one hand, this can ensure the supply line behind Shen Mo's army, and on the other hand, it also ensures the safety of the Eastern Northern Expedition Army.

The same goes for the same sentence, although the Jin Kingdom no longer exists now, and Shen Mo's disciple Cheng Wuhen also serves as a senior official in the local area.

But Shen Mo would never put the supply line and retreat route after his large army advanced to the hands of this newly acquired Jin regime.

This Eastern Northern Expedition Army originally wanted to be led by Yang Miaozhen according to Shen Mo's thoughts.

Because the route of the Eastern Route Army's advance is very close to Shandong.

At the same time, Yang Miaozhen also fought back and forth in this part of the Jin Dynasty close to Shandong, so she was very familiar with the terrain and terroir of the Eastern Front.

...At the same time, Shen Mo would personally lead the Northern Army that crossed the sea and landed.

The fleet of Navy General Shi Baoying is responsible for transporting troops and supplying supplies.

His Northern Army's goal was to directly penetrate Yanyun, gain this crucial strategic location, and then block the Mongolian army from outside the country! As for the third unit, the Western Army that was on the front line of Taiyuan.

Shen Mo originally wanted to hand it over to Chang Chunyuan.

Because Chang Chunyuan is steady and down-to-earth, he will never make mistakes easily and is a good candidate for leading troops.

As for Marshal Jiang Yuxin, Shen Mo originally wanted to put her back to Tongzhou and let her go back to handle Tongzhou affairs.

But the plan could not keep up with the rapid change. Just as Shen Mo was about to set off, a letter was delivered to him.

The person who wrote this letter was General Fan Dejun and Fan, who had recently joined Shen Mo's camp and planned to live a lifelong life in Tongzhou.

After Shen Mo received the letter, he hurriedly looked at it, and then his expression changed drastically! Jiang Yuxin next to him even clearly saw the surprised expression on the face of the husband, which made Jiang Yuxin very surprised! Jiang Yuxin couldn't help but guess in her heart: What the letter said in her is, but it actually made this commander of Tongzhou who was as deep as the sea so disobedient?

It turned out that Shen Mo had fallen into someone else's plan this time!... This matter needs to be said in detail, but it's really a long story.

When Shen Mo formulated this Northern Expedition plan, he even killed the Jin Kingdom for the safety of the Eastern Route Army.

At the same time, the second-line troops of the Shandong Army occupied the former territory of the Jin Kingdom to ensure the safety of the rear of this Eastern Army.

At the same time, he made similar preparations on the Western Route Army.

It is similar to the Jin Kingdom on the Eastern Route Army. This time, there is also a target that needs to be guarded against in the rear of Shen Mexi's Route Army, which is his old ally Xixia.

According to Shen Mo's plan, when Chang Chunyuan's troops advanced north from the Taiyuan area.

At that time, Xixia was located behind the West Route Army.

So if the Western Route Army continues to march northward, its supply line will be located just next to the border line of Xixia.

Compared with the ancient army, Shen Mo's eight main forces depended more heavily on logistics.

Because bullets are not like feather arrows, they can be picked up and used after being shot.

So in order to ensure the safety of this Western Route Army, Shen Mo needed to go to Xixia in advance to say hello.

In fact, in history, in 1233, the original Xixia Kingdom had already perished completely.

But now Xixia is still under the control of Xiang Changer and has been supporting it until now.

This is all because Shen Mo provided them with a lot of military aid, otherwise Xixia would have been gone long ago.

As for this Northern Expedition, in order to ensure the safety of his Western Route Army's retreat, Shen Mo sent out to inspect the Xixia candidates.

It was the veteran General Fan Dejun who was idle at home after arriving in Tongzhou.

The candidate to go to Xixia is actually not easy to find. This person must clearly collect information about Xixia and find out whether there have been any changes in the court and military policies.

Moreover, his main task is to find out whether this former ally would pose a threat to the side of Shen Mexi's Route Army.

At the same time, his identity must be valuable enough, otherwise it will be difficult to reach the senior management of Xixia... So Shen Mo invited the veteran general Fan Dejun, who was idle at home, to do this.
