In September 244, Lin Jianyue, the generals of Jinzhou Prefecture, made the last arrangement for the generals of the Jinning Army on how to develop operations in Hedong.

After the Jinning Army's war, the infantry had exceeded 80,000 and the cavalry exceeded 50,000, which seemed to be a lot, but it was still insufficient for the territory controlled by the Jinning Army, let alone the attack.

"Mr. Han, the situation in Hedong is quite complicated. We are newcomers. We have people who support us, and we are also dedicated to being traitors. I will arrange for the Pacification Department to come to Hedong to establish a branch, and you are under your jurisdiction. How to distinguish this matter is the key to whether the Jinning Army can develop and grow in Hedong. The Hu people will not let it go, but they will not attack with all their might. If the Hu people have internal support, the Jinning Army will be in danger. You cannot doubt it randomly, otherwise you will lose people's hearts. Therefore, in terms of internal management, the people from the Liu family and Jinji Academy will be reused. They will provide you with help. Do you have to manage and use them well. Do you understand what I mean?"

Han Yuheng naturally understood that it is necessary to prevent the Jinning Army from forming a new factional army under Lin Jianyue's command with the Liu family as the core, so that Lin Jianyue's core troops will be separated from other troops.

The Pacification Department has reported many times that with the expansion of Lin Jianyue's territory and the increase of the army, the faction has taken shape, and the combat power has declined under the same scale, and the cooperation between them has not reached the original level.

Liu Hesheng's troops were Lin Jianyue's Yuanshu's core troops, and were established by Lin Jianyue himself. They are the most trusted and reliable troops. This time, when they came to Hedong, the situation required, and the second was to develop outside the Central Plains with this force as the core, because the scale of the establishment has limited it to further expand in the Central Plains. Since it has come out, use the favorable conditions of Hedong and rely on the Liu family to continue to develop, becoming the main force above all factions, causing the Hu people to misjudgment and give it a fatal blow at a critical moment. After Lin Jianyue returned to the Central Plains, he would rebuild the First Army of the Longjie Army and the Cavalry Guards, and draw the strongest troops of other armies, weak branches and strong trunks to form a new core.

Lin Jianyue did not suspect that each army had a different intention, but he found that if it were not for him personally commanding, it would be difficult for each army to cooperate in close cooperation. Now there are five front armies, including the Long Jie Army, Xinyang Army, Wuwei Army, Xiangyang Navy Army and Sun Masayoshi's Huaixi Army, and in the future, they need to cooperate with each other. But to this day, how can it be personally commanded in every battle? There are not many opportunities to visit the front line in the future. With core troops, it is different. If you send out a key battle, other troops will definitely focus on it and cooperate without complaints, which will help improve the combat effectiveness of the entire army.

"In three years, Hedong focuses on defensive operations, with military strength developed to 200,000, and cavalry expanded to 80,000. There are several points to be grasped. First, Yindiguan, strengthen city defense, build sub-city, and expand the defensive forces stationed. Second, Ji County, located between Jin, Bizhou and Longde Prefecture, is the most likely position to be attacked and fought. Now Aricha has left there and returned to Longde Prefecture. He should immediately send troops to occupy it. The defense force is no less than 30,000. The city defense must also be restored. If there is an order,

The third is that the main force of the cavalry should be stationed in Linfen, Jinzhou Prefecture, to facilitate support to all parties. Fourth, the problem of the Yellow River freezing operation in winter is the most dangerous time every year. The cavalry in Kaifeng, Guanzhong and Longde Prefecture can drive straight in. The Jinning Army must set up three scout troops to monitor three directions. More than 50,000 enemy mobilizations need to be reported in a timely manner. I will station in Luoyang and retain more than 50,000 fast troops to support you. The cavalry will be trained by the Yellow River."

"The last thing is the logistical support issue. The Hedong prefectures we occupy now cannot afford to support 200,000 troops, but the Liu family will support part from Taiyuan, and I will support part from Central Plains. The Jinning Army will be the core main force in the future counterattack of Hebei and Kaifeng, Kaifeng, and the training cannot be stopped. Don't be afraid of fighting. Please give me your wishes."

In Dadu Khan Palace, Batu Su was kneeling in front of Li Chongshan to apologize, but how could Li Chongshan blame him? It was known that the entire battle process was long ago that Batu Su's main force had not been damaged, but had just lost the southern states.

Lin Jianyue's performance was too outstanding, and even Batusu could not do anything to him, so he naturally rose to the level of a great enemy of life and death. How to deal with Lin Jianyue is what Li Chongshan cares about.

Qin Zhenghao felt a little regretful. If he had known that Lin Jianyue was so capable, he would have been better off encouraging Li Chongshan to go!

Another year has passed, and the success of Hedong strategy has further strengthened Lin Jianyue's strength. Give Lin Jianyue some time, and it is time for the first major battle between the main players of both sides.

Therefore, Qin Zhenghao first said: "Hedong is invincible. From the actions of Marshal Batusu in Hedong this time, it can be seen that as long as the enemy makes full use of the terrain, it is impossible to completely drive Lin Jianyue's troops out of Hedong, without a main army of more than 300,000, it is not enough. In other words, it is necessary to transfer 100,000 from Hebei or outside the pass, which is a bit of a loss. Now Taiyuan in Jinzhong is still there, and you can still maintain contact with Guanzhong through the Luliang Mountains channel, and Longde Mansion can also threaten them. My opinion is to transfer a small number of elite troops to Hedong and suppress Lin Jianyue's Jinning Army in the south. The key is how to deal with Lin Jianyue's main force in the Central Plains, which is his foundation and core. His Hedong strategy is just to hold us back and leave enough time for his development. We cannot be fooled."

Li Chongshan deeply agreed and stood up and asked anxiously: "What strategy does Master Qin have?"

"My minister's suggestion is that His Majesty needs to mobilize the main force in Hebei to join King Haci of Kaifeng, and His Majesty will go to the Central Plains to preside over the duel with Lin Jianyue. It is not possible to rely solely on Marshal Batusu or King Haci."

Li Chongshan understood Qin Zhenghao's meaning. Batusu could not command Haci because Haci was the king of the clan and had a higher status than Batusu. Only he could coordinate and command in a unified and unified manner.

Batusu nodded when he heard this, and then Qin Zhenghao said:

"Your Majesty needs to transfer some troops from outside the pass to replace Hebei's defense. We all know Lin Jianyue's playing style. He likes to attack our weak links most unexpectedly. If after we leave, Lin Jianyue sends a surprise soldier to smuggle the Yellow River to attack Hebei and destroy our baggage line, he will repeat the mistakes of Su Hedai."

Li Chongshan nodded and then asked: "When is the best time to attack?"

"It will take about a year to mobilize troops to change defenses and prepare supplies. Lin Jianyue's original core force stayed in Hedong, and the strength of the Central Plains has weakened. Even if there is another year, without the manpower and material resources of Jiangnan, Lin Jianyue cannot develop too quickly, but he cannot be delayed. I am most worried that Lin Jianyue will retreat and just blindly defend, and go to deal with Ning's court first and integrate Jiangnan. Once it succeeds, it will be really troublesome."

Li Chongshan was shocked when he heard this. If Lin Jianyue could succeed in changing the dynasty, he might not be able to do anything to Lin Jianyue. Lin Jianyue already has the power of a hero, which is very different from the current emperor. If he obtained all the resources and power of the Han area, he would not have to withdraw from the outside of the pass, which was something that Li Chongshan could not accept.

"Then please help everyone speed up the preparations. Next year, the Yellow River will be frozen and I will go south to personally conquer Lin Jianyue."

After Lin Jianyue personally rectified the Jinning Army in Jinzhou for a period of time, he went to all the states. He did not do anything else, but met the gentlemen from all over the country to win the hearts of the people with their interests, show their military power and give them confidence, and express his determination to station in Hedong for a long time.
