Zhao Gou didn't know that the ship on the river was sent by Han Shizhong to report the good news.

Although Ouyang Shi's sailors were taken by surprise and achieved shocking results for Dr. Jiang Zuoshi, the advantages of the Han army were actually very limited. Ouyang Shi went up the river, advancing dozens of miles a day, whether it was supplies or follow-up troops, he couldn't keep up, and although his sailors were greatly superior to Han Shizhong's sailors, but the land battle was inferior to the other party, in order to maintain the myth of undefeated, the Han army's sailors simply did not go ashore later, only cruised on the river, and occupied some Jiangxin islands as strongholds. In this way, it not only increased the speed of the Han army's naval divisions, but also reduced the resistance to advance, but only controlled the Yangtze River but could not control both sides of the Yangtze River, and the Han army's naval divisions were only threatening to the Southern Song Dynasty regime and had no ability to conquer.

Although Han Shizhong was temporarily unable to meet Ouyang Shi's fleet head-on, he deployed his forces in important towns on both sides of the Yangtze River, and moved the facilities that were originally intended to be used to deal with the Jin people's horse rejection and other facilities to the shore to deal with the Han army's naval divisions, and did everything possible to prevent them from going ashore. Wherever the Han ships went, his troops on the shore followed. This seemingly clumsy method was actually extremely effective, and sure enough, Ouyang Shi's fleet hesitated when it arrived in Yangzhou, and docked on Jiangxin Island, not far from Yangzhou, waiting for backup and supplies.

At this point, Han Shizhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Any famous general, in the face of weapons and tactics that he has never been exposed to, may be suppressed by the momentum of this new weapon and new tactics, so Han Shizhong really had a great fear in his heart when he first came into contact with Ouyang Shi's fleet in the Taixing section, and he greatly overestimated Ouyang Shi's commanding ability. But when he found that Ouyang Shi went up the river for 200 miles without going ashore, and "inexplicably" let go of many granaries and natural dangers that he had the opportunity to occupy along the way, he had doubts in his heart, and his fear of Ouyang Shi gradually disappeared, and he calmed down to analyze the trajectory of the Han army's naval division, and gradually discovered the other party's shortcomings. When Ouyang Shi's fleet arrived in Yangzhou, Han Shizhong had completely grasped Ouyang Shi's combat thinking, sneered in his heart, and said to his generals: "When I was in Taixing, I thought that the Han Navy Division was actually a god soldier from heaven, but now it seems that it is not Erer!" ”

The ministry will ask for the reason.

Han Shizhong said: "Looking at the means it uses on the Yangtze River and the southeast coast, it is just a trick of the rogue gangsters, although the prestige is strong, it is unstoppable!" In time, how difficult it is to break! ”

While arranging the follow-up river defense, he reported to Zhao Gou the situation of the river war, the reality of the enemy and the enemy, but he had already fled before he reached Jiankang Zhao Gou - in fact, even if Han Shizhong's recital arrived first, Zhao Gou might not be convinced of him, and even if he believed in Han Shizhong's analysis, he might not be willing to risk his "golden body".

Han Shizhong was surprised when he heard that the emperor abandoned Jiankang and fled. Although he has a follow-up strategic plan, this plan is to fight a war of attrition for a long time to force Ouyang Shi back, now that the emperor has fled, the people of Shilin are panicking, how can this war of attrition be carried out? So in surprise, he hurried towards Jiankang.

When Han Shizhong arrived in Jiankang, half of the civil and military generals in the city had fled, but most of the places did not know the news of Zhao Gou's escape, so Jiankang stayed behind, Qin Hui, the secretary of the military department, and Zhao Ding, the secretary of the imperial history, led the remaining ministers to support this crumbling and no emperor's line, and handled the daily clerical and administrative work. Han Shizhong saw that Qin Hui was so loyal and courageous, and praised in his heart: "The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows the loyal ministers!" The ancients did not deceive me. "Come in and tell Qin Hui about the war and defense.

Qin Hui was not the prime minister at this time, and his status was slightly different from that of the deputy prime minister, but at this time, the emperor fled, and the prime minister followed, and he, the emperor's personal stay, became a temporary first minister, and he had the right to deal with major matters such as war defense and peace.

After listening to Han Shizhong's report, Qin Hui said: "If Jingnan is fine, Your Majesty is in Que, General Han's method may also work." But now that the upper reaches of the Yangtze River have been rebelled and stolen, the minds of the people in Jiangzuozhou County have changed, and I am afraid that General Han's plan has not yet achieved results, and Jiangdong, Jiangxi, Huainan and Huaibei will become chaotic. ”

Han Shizhong bowed his head and said: "Shizhong also has this concern, I don't know what Lord Qin's good plan is?" ”

Qin Hui sighed: "Although I don't want to, but for today's plan, there is only one way to negotiate peace." ”

Han Shizhong's face changed slightly, these Nandu generals have always been sensitive to the matter of peace, because they felt that the reason why the Central Plains was lost and the Jin people were rampant was because the ministers of the ruling government during the Jingkang period kept discussing peace and giving "discussions".

Qin Hui also knew the thoughts of these generals, and said: "If peace is not discussed, does General Han have any foolproof strategy?" ”

Han Shizhong pondered for a long time and said: "It's okay to negotiate peace, but you have to choose a strong person." Although Ouyang Shi is fierce, he has now been confined by me to the heart of the river, and I expect that he will not dare to enter lightly, let alone go ashore! So they dragged him for a month and a half, and when he ran out of food, we didn't need to promise anything, they naturally retreated. ”

Qin Hui said: "I hope so." ”

The two generals were discussing with themselves, and suddenly an urgent report came: Ouyang Shi actually led the fleet to Stone City!

Qin Hui was shocked, looked back at Han Shizhong and said sharply: "General Han, didn't you say that the Han army didn't dare to enter lightly?" ”

Han Shizhong was also shocked when he heard the news, and said in his heart: "Could it be that my previous speculation was wrong?" Could it be that the Han Army Sailor is stronger than I expected? ”

At this time, the military and civilians in Jiankang City were panicked when they heard the news, and Qin Hui ordered the guards to guard the whole city and patrol the wharf. Qin Hui had no choice but to let Han Shizhong temporarily take over the defense of Jiankang City and prepare to meet Ouyang Shi.

After Han Shizhong took over the defense of Jiankang City, he found that more than half of the defenders who were there were taken away by Zhao Gou, and then a small half of them fled, and the remaining people were small and weak, not to mention defending the city, and even maintaining law and order had problems.

Qin Hui is anxious on the outside, but he is actually not very afraid in his heart, anyway, no matter how things develop, he has a way out, this time let Han Shizhong go to the city defense is really a problem for him, let him be less noisy in front of him, who knows that Han Shizhong went for a long time and came back to resume his life: the four gates have been cleaned, the streets are no longer noisy, and the defenders have gone to the city to standby. Qin Hui was taken aback, and said in his heart: "He actually has such a thunderbolt method!" No wonder there is such a big name in the army! ”

In fact, although Han Shizhong was able to unify the tired soldiers inside and outside Jiankang City in a short period of time, he was not an immortal after all, and he couldn't train this tired army into elite soldiers in a day or two, just turning this crumbling stone city into a paper tiger that looked like it was dancing with teeth and claws.

On the second day, an army along the south bank of the Yangtze River to monitor Ouyang Shi's fleet came to Jiankang, this is the soldiers and horses arranged by Han Shizhong before, Han Shizhong only felt a little relieved after getting this force that can really fight, but the number of this army is still too small after all, it is okay to guard against ordinary strongholds, and it is a bit insufficient to guard against such a big city as Jiankang.

Soon Ouyang Shizhou's division arrived, and the defenders of the dock on the south bank saw that the fleet was defeated without a fight, so Ouyang Shi entered the dock without much effort and sent people into the city to recruit surrender.

The ministers were terrified, and many of them were going to do a good thing called driving, but it was actually a good thing to escape, Han Shizhong said: "I expect that Ouyang Shi is good at water warfare, but may not be good at land warfare!" If he dares to go ashore, it will be just right, and we will use this Jiankang City to fight him! ”

Minister Du Chong said angrily: "You expect it, what if it is wrong?" ”

Qin Hui shouted: "When is it!" Still noisy here! After suppressing this pair of civil and military officers, he said: "We are burdened with the trust of our father, and we swear to protect this city, how can we be afraid of the head and tail and retreat from the battle!" ”

Du Chong and the others were so awe-inspiring that Qin Hui was so ashamed, and Qin Hui said to Han Shizhong again: "Jiankang's defense is weak, and if you want to use this city to fight against the Han army, I'm afraid it will not be a complete strategy." Once the battle is unfavorable, although it is our life's wish to die for the country, I am afraid that Jiangzuozhou County will lose the determination to continue to defend the society when it is said that Jiankang has fallen, and then we will become sinners! ”

Han Shizhong was silent, and said for a long time: "What should I do with what adults see? ”

"Prepare for war, and negotiate peace." Qin Hui said: "Before Your Majesty's southern tour, there was already a will in our place, so let's act in accordance with this will." In this critical period of survival, we need to work together. The matter of preparing for war, the matter of the general, the matter of peace, the matter of Qin Hui. ”

Han Shizhong arched his hand and said: "What the adults said is exactly the proposal of seeking the country, dare not obey the fate!" ”

Qin Hui was about to send an envoy to see Ouyang Shi, but Ouyang Shi sent an envoy first.
