In the last half month of 1679, both the Han and Jin kingdoms underwent large-scale troop movements.

Yang Yingqi successively issued five orders to transfer troops to prepare for war: the first order was to garrison Jinmen, asking for 20,000 elite soldiers who were enough to fight the main force of the Jin army ready to enter Shandong at any time to support; The second order was to give the 20,000 defenders of Tanggu, ordering them to be ready to attack Yanjing at any time to lead the sect to the advantage; The third order was to give the Liaokou garrison, ordering them to be ready to cut off the Liaoxi corridor at any time; The fourth is to ask for the garrison and order them to closely monitor the movements of the Great Song Dynasty; The fifth way is to Aruman, ordering him to take the camera action and prepare to take Huining directly!

At the same time, Zong Han began to shrink the forces of Shaanxi, and ordered Lou Room to divide his troops to Taiyuan, and transferred 15,000 people from Zhongshan and Yanjing Xiangzhou into Pingding Prefecture and Xingzhou, and transferred troops from Shandong into Cizhou and Xiangzhou, and surrounded Taiyuan and Shangdang from three directions. Then surround and annihilate it. Of course, another place that is likely to be connected to Zheyan Chong - Yunnei, where Xiao Tienu is located, is closely monitored by the garrison of Yunzhong Mansion led by Wanyan Xiyin, and Tart Lazy even dispatched soldiers and horses from Zhongjing Province to Fengzhou.

Such an arrangement by the Jin Army is not only a tactical adjustment, but also a strategic adjustment! Before the Jin army let Xiao Tienu and Cao Guangbi not be destroyed, they had to deal with the Shandong army first, following the strategic thinking of the overall situation first and then the local, and the henchmen before the siblings.

It should be said that this kind of strategic thinking also has its truth, because Xiao Tienu is as cunning as a loach, and the grassland where he is located can give full play to his combat style of coming and going like the wind, while Cao Guangbi is as hard as an iron stone, and the Shangdang where he is located is not only conducive to defense but also has sufficient materials, so although the troops in these two places are weak, it will take a long time for Zong Han to completely defeat them. If he dealt with Xiao and Cao first, then the Shandong army and the Southern Song Dynasty regime would have time to recuperate, and as soon as Zhao Gou and the Shandong army stabilized, it would be difficult for the Jin army to completely defeat them, if the Jin army could not defeat Shandong and Jiangnan, then the world would probably present a three-point pattern of the north and south of the mainland and the Han dynasty in the East China Sea, which the Jin army did not want to see, and it did not conform to Zong Han's original intention of "unifying China and foreign countries".

Therefore, the Jin people finally chose the strategy of first the Song Dynasty and then the Han Dynasty, first eliminating the problems of the henchmen and then the diseases of the hands and feet. In the early stage of the implementation of this strategy, the Jin army did achieve considerable results, and both the Han and the Great Song Dynasty had been forced to a dilemma.

However, Orihiko's "accidental" escape turned all this around!

One of the most important premises of the reason why the strength of the Jin army has been able to overwhelm the anti-Jin forces in the past two years is that the main force of the Han army has been outside the battlefield of the Central Plains! In the case that the main force of the Han army has not yet participated in the war, the Jin army has already felt quite difficult when it fights Shandong, if Yang Kaiyuan leads the Han army to officially land in Shandong, or Alu Man attacks the rear of the Jin army with cavalry, then the war pattern of the entire northern country will be completely reversed!

The excessively easy victory in the Song War gave many Jin generals the pride of being "undefeated", which had the effect of raising morale, but at the same time blinded them! Zhe Yanchong's escape was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, and when the Jin people turned back, they suddenly found that they were already full of flaws when they faced the Han Department again: Can the forces of the Huining side resist the main force of the Han Department alone? Can the garrison of Yanjing resist the siege of the main force of the Han Army? Will Shandong's military strength be able to continue to win with the Han army joining?

The Jin army is still strong, but their elite forces have been too scattered! At this time, it is difficult to achieve it even if you want to gather again! Because to reconcentrate the forces sent to one place means to abandon these occupied areas! As soon as the forces of the Hetao were withdrawn, Xiao Tienu and Western Xia would enter; As soon as Shaanxi's troops withdrew, the Western soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty would counterattack; As soon as Hedong's troops withdrew, Cao Guangbi would invade Yunzhong; As soon as Shandong's troops are withdrawn, Liu, Zhao, Wang and others will take the opportunity to recover the entire Central Plains!

If at this time, the leaders of the Jin State can concentrate the forces of the Eastern Route Army, the Western Route Army and the Huining family with the determination of a strong man with a broken arm, then he may be able to fight with the Han Army, but can Zong Han abandon Shaanxi and Hedong? If you want to go back to the Northeast, will Zongfu be able to leave Yanjing and Hebei behind? If you want to concentrate on Yanjing, Wu Qimai can't give up Huining's hometown, right?

As soon as I thought about this problem, the most troublesome and serious problem of the Jin State arose - the successive victories in the past few years did not strengthen the unity within the Jurchens, but instead made the factions within the Jin State move further and further apart from each other. Although the escape of Zhi Yanchong gave all factions in the Jin State a sense of crisis that they had been defeated by the Han tribe, the law of accumulation and inability to return still made it difficult for the Jurchens to restore the unity of the Akuta era.

When the world is competing, the most rare thing is to "gain power", once the general trend is formed, the disadvantaged party will never use its strategy, even if the courage will not use its courage, even if the strong will not use its strength!

One son is easy, and the entire chess game in the Central Plains has become unrecognizable! Before Orihiko escaped, Zong Han and the others were still thinking about how to "win" the highest goal, but after hearing the news, everyone was thinking about how to "protect themselves" this minimum goal!

But the Jin people's desire to keep this minimum goal was just their wishful thinking, and Yang Yingqi didn't plan to give them this opportunity at all! The little unicorn's sword was not yet unsheathed, because he was waiting for the moment when Orihiko rushed back to Hanbu!

This change in the situation in the Central Plains greatly eased the pressure on the Shandong side, and now only Zongfu's main force and Zonghan's part are still pressing on the head of the Dengzhou army and the Bianliang army, and these two forces are obviously unable to fully suppress Liu Qi, Zhao Li and Wang Xuan.

Although the Song regime has also dealt with the Jin people for many years, its grasp of the situation in the Jin country is still weak, and it can't figure out the reasons for it for a while when it sees the Jin country showing an abnormality. This cannot be blamed entirely for his incompetence, because the Song courtiers failed to make quick and accurate judgments like the Han leaders, mainly due to insufficient intelligence. At this time, there were many large and small military general rebellions and peasant uprisings in Jiangnan, and Zhao Gou also needed to concentrate on taking care of the rear and establishing authority, and because he was not clear about the situation, Zhao Gou reacted very cautiously to this matter, and only ordered the forward general to be stationed in Xuzhou and pay close attention to the intelligence of the Central Plains.

While the crisis was alleviated in Shandong and Jiangnan due to the transfer of Jin soldiers, the loyal army of Taiyuan and Shangdang faced the most severe test in history! Wang Yan is better, after all, the loyal army has been operating in Shangdang for a long time, and the terrain of Shangdang is dangerous, as long as the defense is successful, it is 200,000 troops to besiege at the same time, and it may not be able to go down in the short term. But Cao Guangbi, who was in Taiyuan, was uncomfortable!

At this time, Taiyuan was no longer Taiyuan before it was broken by the Jin soldiers, even though the Jin army had the intention to use the city as an important stronghold to control Hedong, but those ruins and broken walls could not be repaired within a year or two. What's more, Cao Guangbi's entry into Taiyuan was very short, the newly returned military and civilians were not attached, and the strategic materials were very limited, so although Cao Guangbi claimed to be good at guarding, he also knew that he could not win this battle to the death! The speed of Zong Han's transfer of troops was fast and secretive, and by the time Cao Guangbi found that the northeast, southeast, and southwest armies had gathered, all roads had been blocked, and it was impossible for him to give up Taiyuan and break through the silver art to return to Shangdang.

"Cao Tong, what should I do?" Chong Yansong asked.

"It can't be helped. Hold on! Cao Guangbi sighed: "Kill one, count one!" ”

A small number of generals were quite frightened when they heard this, but most of them became excited and shouted: "Not bad! Kill one enough! Kill two and earn! ”

Cao Guangbi glanced at Chong Yansong and said, "I promised to take good care of you, but I didn't expect it to ......."

When he heard this, he said: "The soldier died on the battlefield, what is there to regret!" What's more, we are fighting with Jin Ren this time! When Cao Tongzhi said this, did he intend to insult Yan Song? ”

Cao Guangbi heaved and said, "Not bad! It's no big deal if a soldier dies on the battlefield! ”

Chong Yansong said: "I have deeply regretted it when Taiyuan City was broken last time, regretting that I couldn't rush in and face the same disaster with the soldiers defending the city!" If you die here in battle this time, it will be considered an unfulfilled wish! ”

Cao Guangbi stroked the city wall and said, "Death? Hey! The army of the golden soldiers has not yet been encircled, as long as we have the heart of death, we may not be able to die! Since ancient times, those who are good at attacking have life and death, and those who are good at defending have life and death! ”

Li Chengdao: "But we can't keep it forever." ”

"It doesn't have to be forever!" Cao Guangbi said: "As long as my eldest brother appears, we will be saved!" ”
