Feng Yuan re-put himself on the battlefield and led the reorganized seventy-eight generals to go on the expedition, which was 6,000 fully equipped deputy horse cavalry, and 4,500 cavalry hurried to Li Guojian, which was a powerful force and was fully capable of confronting the Jin army.

"Well, it's almost time to get to Xuzhou."

"My lord, the captives can completely bypass Xuzhou on the road to the south, so we must guard against it." Zhong Lirui said worriedly.

"It's okay, if Wushu goes south, he will definitely attack Xuzhou." Wang Xiu is very confident.

Zhong Lirui is also an outstanding figure, a little stunned also understood, Xuzhou is a copper and iron land, has always been a place where soldiers must fight, Wang Xiu led tens of thousands of troops to station, and there are a large number of main horse troops, the Jin army must not want to have a threat to the rear when it goes south, Xuzhou will become the preferred target, there is no one.

"It looks like there's still a bloody battle."

"It depends on what the vulture plans to do, and it's best to divide the troops." Wang Xiu pursed her lips, very disapproving. The soldiers and horses of the Jin army on the east road are too scattered, and there are only more than 20,000 people in Wushu, which cannot become a decisive advantage at all, even if the troops increase to the south, it will form a worrying tactic, and it will not be able to pose a strict threat to Huaishang, as long as the tart is lazy and does not come to make trouble, he has seventy-eight generals in hand, and he can completely deal with any crisis.

Then again, Gao Ping and Guan Sheng are not dry meals, especially Dadao Guan Sheng, who is a first-class Liangshan Bo hero, and the tart is lazy in Jinan Mansion and also falls into a hard battle, almost unable to divide the troops, as for the Wushu, with Han Shizhong in the way, the Jin army's plan to join Kaifeng is almost doomed to bankruptcy, and there is only one way to the south to save some face.

However, what he is most worried about now is that the arrogant Qu Duan, this army in Jingxi should not act recklessly, and the decisive battle with Sticky Han in advance is very unfavorable to sticking to the main force of the Jin Army on the west road, because it is difficult for the Western Army to clash with Allah.

Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion, the capital of the Great Song Empire for more than 100 years, brings together the prosperity of several generations of emperors, because of the southern luck of the Great Song Dynasty, it can no longer be called Tokyo, many wealthy families have moved south, and even faintly have a tendency to decline.

However, as a big city in the Central Plains, it still can't hide the prosperity of a hundred years of Kyoto, the streets are mostly full of people buying and selling, crowds of people, only the busy soldiers can be seen on the city wall, and there are more guards at the city gate, there is a hint of war, which makes people feel a little uneasy.

On the upper floor of Fengqiu Gate, Zong Ze looked out of the city with a gloomy face, and Xu Han and Wang Yuan stood beside him.

"I don't know if Han Liangchen can withstand the vultures, his soldiers and horses seem to be a little small." Zong Ze said worriedly. I have to say that Han Shizhong's controlled soldiers and horses did not exceed 30,000, and in the face of tens of thousands of Jurchen elites, it would be difficult to stop the Jin army from advancing westward if it did not rely on Jiancheng.

Xu Han was silent, since he failed to command the rescue of Taiyuan, the 170,000 army was scattered, and the veteran was killed in battle, Yao Gu was exiled, which caused the resentment of the generals, and all the resentment was concentrated on him. It is not without reason that Wang Yuan, the commander of the capital, always fights against him, and he is silent about the war, for fear of being caught and hurting his feet.

At this time, he took over Zong Ze as the left-behind guard of the old capital, knowing that it was his old friend Li Gang's reward for his advice back then, so he didn't say much about the war, so as not to cause disagreement between the Xuanfu Division and the Metropolitan Control Division.

"A few ways, Qu Zhengfu will fight in the west of Beijing, and he is a little sure" Zong Ze turned his head to look at Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan groaned a little and said in a deep voice: "Xuanfu Xianggong rest assured, Qu Zhengfu will not live up to the expectations of the imperial court, and I will lead the army to the west tomorrow." ”

Zong Ze smiled faintly, he resolutely advocated taking the initiative, Qu Duan's choice of the Battle of Jingxi was exactly what he wanted, so he turned Jingdong into a defensive posture and threw out a large army into Jingxi as much as possible. It's a pity that Zhengzhou lost troops in the first battle, if Yue Fei hadn't retreated in time, it was estimated that tens of thousands of troops would have been explained, and Wang Yuan led the army westward was also his proposition, as long as he defeated Sticky Han, the Jurchens would have ended most of their southward movement.

He groaned a little, and said loudly: "Wang Zihua broke the formation on his own horse, and almost captured Ali alive, why didn't he mention it in Guantang?"

"Prince Hua Qian, said that he failed to capture the general, and he didn't dare to say anything." Wang Yuan said and smiled, and said with satisfaction: "Wang Zihua is usually dignified and humble, old and respectful, and when he encounters problems, he strives to be the first, evaluates merit and retreats, and then humbly concedes his military exploits. ”

Obviously, Zong Ze was satisfied with Wang De's modesty, and said with a smile: "Wang Zihua Shenyun has the style of an ancient famous general, although he failed to capture the pig-like chieftain, after all, it is a great achievement, how can he not repay it." ”

Wang Yuan comprehended and said with a smile: "The last general has taken care of it." He admired Zong Ze a lot, whether it was military talent or character charm, Zong Ze could be convincing, and more importantly, their strategic guidance was the same, and they all believed that only by defeating Sticky Han could they hope to win the war.

Zong Ze said: "With the current situation, what are the high opinions of several provinces?"

Wang Yuan pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Xuanfu Xianggong is in charge of the overall situation, and he is like watching the fire." In the humble opinion of the last general, there are Han and Gao Ershuai on Jingdong Second Road to preside over the overall situation, and Huaishang has Liu Taiwei to support them, and it is expected that there will be little progress on the East Road. Our army should concentrate its forces, fight in the west of Beijing, and wipe out the sticky Han in one fell swoop, even if the Wushu is transferred to the south, it will not make great achievements. ”

Zong Ze bowed his head slowly, and said happily: "It makes sense, but Wang Xianggong doesn't seem to have any intention of fighting in Jingxi." ”

Wang Yuan frowned slightly, pouting indifferently. Although he was a little grateful to Wang Xiu for recommending him to be the commander of the Xuanfu Division, he didn't think that Wang Xiu had any brilliant military talent, and deliberately avoided Wang Xiu's counterattack on Kaifeng, thinking that the decisive battle in western Beijing was his insistence, and only by completely defeating Sticky Han could he save the crisis, just as the failure of Taiyuan to relieve the siege was the result of the civilian officials' nonsense, and he couldn't help but glance at Xu Han.

"Preparing money and food, you have to bother Lord Xu." Zong Ze looked at Xu Han, his tone was polite and gentle, Xu Han and him were not in harmony with each other, so they naturally had to be polite.

Xu Han looked calm, looked at Wang Yuan with ill intentions, that was to turn a blind eye, and said lightly: "Don't worry, my lord, I will take it on my best." ”

Zong Ze didn't know Xu Han's thoughts, he was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and said: "The princes of the two prefectures think that the captives are strong and vigorous, but the battle line is too long, and they have committed a taboo in the soldiers. As long as the court is united and waits for work, it will be able to win a great victory. ”

Wang Yuan knew what Zong Ze was worried about, the two major Xuanfu Divisions worked together, Qu Duan was a thorn, he was also a rising upstart, the two had the same status, it was difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior, the commander of the war in Jingxi was uncertain, and it was extremely unfavorable to the war, so I hope he would be humble.

He groaned a little, and for the sake of the smooth progress of the war, he could only temporarily wronged himself, and said: "Xuanfu Xianggong can rest assured, and the last general will make every effort to promote the cooperation of the two armies." ”

Zong Ze understood that Wang Yuan was soft, and was a little relieved, his eyes turned to the west again, and said softly: "Wang Xianggong is unwilling to fight a decisive battle, but the battle situation is unpredictable, and seizing the fighter plane is the truth." ”
