At the same time that the Han army appeared to be passionate, the Jin army in the Lianghe region showed a rare weakness! A rebel army located near Xiangzhou could not bear to carry out a tentative attack on the stronghold of the Jin army on the shore of Zhangshui, and this attack went unexpectedly smoothly, and this stronghold, which was thought to have at least 3,000 people, turned out to be only about 200 people! Not only are the numbers small and morale low, but the weapons of these generals are also obviously old and rotten!

"Can't the Jin soldiers' supplies keep up?"

That's right! Since Zhiyan rushed back to southern Liaoning, the Han army cut off the supply of weapons to the Jin army, due to the excessive dependence on the supply of weapons to the Han army for several years, at this time the internal weapons manufacturing industry in the Jin country has seriously shrunk, so it is understandable if the Jin army has difficulties in the supply of weapons.

"Of course, there is another possibility!"

Zong Ying expressed his speculation in his letter to Cao Guangbi and Yang Kaiyuan: the Jin army may bypass the Liaoxi Corridor and reinforce Huining's hometown from the north of Zhongjing Road. In the end, Zong Ying asserted: The battle of the Northern Expedition must be carried out immediately! This is not only related to the morale of the Han army in the Central Plains, but also related to the problem of coordination with the war situation in the northeast.

The reason why Zhi Yanchong and others advocated the strategy of defensive counterattack in the Central Plains was because Zhi Yanchong speculated that Zong Han and Zong Fu would not choose to rush thousands of miles to help, but would launch large-scale attacks on Hedong, Tanggu and Shandong, and use the strategy of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" to force Zhi Yanchong to withdraw the strength to attack Huining.

Zhi Yanchong's prediction is very in line with Zong Han's character and military habits, and Zong Fu's behavior may be more cautious, but after all, the Eastern Route Army was taken over by Zong Wang from Aguta, so the will of this army will inevitably be affected by these two strong men who are famous for their dangerous tactics. It is precisely because of this that the military leaders who attended the meeting agreed with Zhi Yanchong's arrangement, but now it seems that the development of the situation is not like this!

"The general may have been wrong!" Zong Ying thought: "Zong Han and Zong Fu did not launch a big attack, but instead contracted their forces!" "If this is the case, then the Han army in the Central Plains should not be passively defensive, but should take the initiative to attack! Because in the two major battlefields of the Northeast and the Central Plains, the two sides of Jin and Han are not only grabbing territory, but also grabbing time: whoever has the strength to take the lead in one battlefield to achieve a comprehensive victory can mobilize troops to reinforce another battlefield to achieve the final victory!

Now the only question is: what exactly are Zonghan and Sosuke up to? Have they really traveled thousands of miles to help Huining? If that's the case, the three major armies of the Central Plains will have to hurry up! Otherwise, it is equivalent to letting Zhi Yanchong bear the pressure of the three major departments of the Jin Army alone in the northeast! Then the Han army in the northeast is in danger!

However, Yang Kaiyuan still has a conservative opinion on this issue, but because the three giants have not reached a consensus, the top level of the Han army has not clearly ordered the armies from attacking. The previous victory on the shore of Zhangshui inspired countless generals of the Han army in Hebei! The rebels of Taihang Mountain were the first to venture out and unexpectedly occupy Handan!

"The Jin army is really empty in Lianghe!"

"They must be going to the northeast to help!"

"Hurry up! Reclaim the two rivers! Reclaim Yanyun! ”

The enthusiastic rebel army not only bullied the Jin army to be weak, but also hoped to establish immortal feats and become the founding heroes of the new Han regime, so everyone forged ahead! In just one month, nine rebel teams marched to the north one after another, and Zong Ying was worried that they would become lonely, so he hurriedly ordered Liu Qi to bring troops to help.

In this way, although the Qilu Army has not yet announced the Northern Expedition, the actual action has already entered the north! In particular, the rebel army, which was in the vanguard, had already penetrated more than 300 miles into the enemy's territory!

The situation has developed to this point, and in order to avoid the Qilu army fighting alone, the military situation in Hedong cannot but respond.

Cao Guangbi finally took action!

Although Cao Guangbi did not formally ask Zhi Yanchong for the overall command of the Central Plains, as a military giant with high prestige in both the Central Plains army and the Han army, as soon as he sent a note that he was ready to cooperate with the Northeast Army's attack, not only the generals in Hedong cheered when they heard the news, but even the Qilu Army was also excited!

Yang Kaiyuan was very dissatisfied after hearing the news in Tanggu, and said to his deputy angrily: "Second brother has always been thoughtful, why is this Meng Lang so this time!" ”

The nature of the Tanggu garrison is in the same vein as the main military system of the Han Army, and the execution and implementation of the orders are more transparent than the Qilu Army and the Hedong Army, and Yang Kaiyuan conveys the established strategy of the high-level of the generals, so that the soldiers below will not have too many mixed reactions, and will not be shaken by the military spirit of the righteous army that has just been annexed because of the order not to send troops. It is precisely because the Tanggu garrison does not have such a situation, so Yang Kaiyuan's concerns about Zong Ying are not as sympathetic as Cao Guangbi. It can be said that Yang Kaiyuan's judgment different from Cao Guangbi is not only related to his talent, but also to the environment in which he lives.

However, Yang Kaiyuan also knew that since Zong Ying had already had the desire to attack in a big way, and Cao Guangbi planned to cooperate, then he could only cooperate with their actions.

Of course, to do such a big thing, Yang Kaiyuan and Zong Ying will inform Yang Yingqi and Zhi Yanchong, who are far away in the northeast. When Yang Yingqi received the news, the Qilu Legion was actually already in action, and he was taken aback by the fact that he was far away in Liaoyang Mansion, and while relaying the news to Zhi Yanchong, who was attacking Huanglong Mansion, he warned Yang Kaiyuan and Zong Ying not to move as a privy secret!

However, Zong Ying still couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the generals to think about war, and after receiving Yang Yingqi's warning, he still launched an attack on the grounds of military subordination, and the army in Hedong also acted at the same time! And at the forefront are the enthusiastic rebel armies!

"Is that really okay?" Liu Qi and Xu Wen said with some suspicion after meeting in the Daimyo's Mansion.

Xu Wendao: "I also think there will be some problems in this matter, but Zong Ying is the commander of the army after all, and Cao Shuai has also launched an attack, and now we are ready to send it!" ”

Liu Qi said: "We are the attacking side in the north this time, but I always feel that we are actually very passive. That's not a good thing. ”

Soon Wang Xuan also led the troops to catch up with the division, and the three teams were combined, and the army was strong! Even Liu Qi and Xu Wen were excited. At this time, the righteous army in front of the city has been connected to several cities, Zhao, Liu, Wang after all are military generals, in such a victory inspired by the blood can not help but boil, the three armies are unwilling to be people, the first to advance, has recovered Xiangzhou, Cizhou, Zhaozhou, Zhaozhou, straight to the city of Zhending. And Wang Yan also drove Yinshuke from Liaozhou to the Pingding Army almost at the same time, and then from the Pingding Army to Yanmen! Since then, the Hedong Army and the Qilu Army have been connected, and almost all of the two rivers have been recovered except for Zhending and Yanmen! The rapid advance speed of the Central Plains army is almost comparable to the results of Orihiko Chong in the northeast, and even surpasses!

The successive victories of the New Han regime in the northeast and Lianghe shocked the whole world, both the Southern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia regime were frightened, and the Lou Mur Division, which was still stranded in Shaanxi by the Jin army, was also forced to retreat to Yunzhong before the back road was cut off, and the Shaanxi defenders recovered the entire territory of Shaanxi without much effort!

Attack! Attack!

More than a dozen rebel armies continued to pour towards the Yanyun region taking advantage of the victory, and one of them even surrounded Yizhou, which was located in the rear of Zhending!

Attack! Attack!

The generals who had been in the trap for a long time under the old Song regime felt very angry! Because they finally pushed the battlefield back to the north of the old Song Liao frontier!

At this point in the battle, Zong Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought that he had made the right bet this time!

In the last month of Huayuan 1680, the Qilu Legion Zhulu army was gathered, Liu Qi took Dingzhou, and Wang Xuantun Luancheng. Half a month later, Zong Ying arrived in Luancheng, and the three-way army was encircled. At the same time, Chong Yansong and Wang Yan also entered the clouds respectively. Most people in the world feel that the destruction of the golden people is just around the corner!
