"Khitan..." Ma Wanpeng was speechless.

It will take years and months of the monkey to get there.

Looking at his expression, Shao Shude knew what he was thinking, so he smiled and said: "Ma Qing, don't you believe it? Dengzhou has also transferred a lot of supplies to Andong Mansion. You should know that the Khitan territory is wild, and there may be something growing in the deep mountains and old forests.

Giant wood that has been around for hundreds or even thousands of years. The ships built now are not very big. If you want to build a big ship in the future, if you want the keel to be strong and resistant to strong winds and waves, you will have to use a keel made of a whole giant wood. The keel that is spliced ​​together will never be enough.

solid."

"I don't believe that there are big trees in Khitan. They are really far apart..." Ma Wanpeng said.

"My son has established a foothold in Andong Mansion." Shao Shude said: "Du Guangyi is an official, Fu Cunshen, Liu Wei, and Wang Yanzhang are also good generals. After accumulating enough, we will expand northward in the new year.

It will only be a matter of time before the Khitans are attacked and destroyed."

The army crossed north and entered Andong Mansion, which was indeed a very good time.

First of all, the Bohai State has not been destroyed, and it still has its final military and political presence on the Liaodong Peninsula, which can provide a certain degree of support.

Secondly, Silla also felt the pressure of the rise of Khitan. Like Bohai, they had entered the final stage of the decadent dynasty. They were somewhat afraid of the new Khitan and were willing to unite with the Xia army.

Third, the Khitan faced the pressure of harassment from the Xia Army Grassland Group in the west, and had to mobilize a large number of troops to the west, which in disguise reduced the pressure on Liaodong.

Finally, the elite soldiers of the Central Plains who have fought hundreds of battles have not been consumed in large numbers in the fifth generation replacement. Things like martial ethics and combat effectiveness are like a parabola. They cannot be fought in peacetime. If a war breaks out and everyone has been trained, then the combat effectiveness will be

Gradually rises. But it does not rise infinitely. After reaching the peak, it will gradually decline due to the consumption of politics, economy and soldiers.

Shao Shude believed that the parabola of combat effectiveness of the Central Plains army at this time had improved to a certain extent compared with before the Huangchao Rebellion. Overall, it was still at the top and had not started to decline. So he took advantage of this period of overflow of martial virtue to step up his strategy.

Done everything that needs to be done.

Otherwise, when the world is at peace and the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army decreases, things will be difficult to handle - during the feudal separatist period, the infantry of the Chengde and Zhaoyi coalition forces could change their formations when the cavalry group charged, and let the cavalry penetrate their own infantry.

Then tighten the encirclement and annihilate the cavalry, which is equivalent to playing a hollow square formation and lining up to kill the musketeers. It is a classic tactic against cavalry in the era. This kind of tactical action could not be done in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the combat effectiveness dropped too much.

Shao Shude was afraid that his imperial army would be destroyed in this way.

"If King Zhao can gradually make an expedition to the north and expel the Khitans, I will go to Lushun to build another shipyard to specialize in shipbuilding." Ma Wanpeng said with a smile.

"There will be a chance, soon." Shao Shude said with a smile: "I will also go to Liaodong to have a look. From now on, the Bohai Sea will be the inland sea of ​​Daxia, and ships and boats will go back and forth as if they are walking on flat ground. Liaodong has great rivers and mountains, and they are still good.

It would be great to resettle the people."
