After Zongfu was forced to retreat by Zong Ze and Liu Qi last time, although the Eastern Route Army crossed the river and rested on the horse, it invaded south again as soon as the reinforcements arrived. Zong Fu crossed the river near Baima with a partial division and landed in Huazhou, Zong Ze asked Zhang Shu to rescue, Ze selected 5,000 soldiers to pay him, and he did not fight lightly to wait for help.

Zhang Tuan went to Huazhou to face the battle, and it happened that Zongfu increased the Yan soldiers and traitor soldiers by 30,000, and the Jin army was prosperous. The two armies met on a narrow road, and the generals saw that there were many Jin soldiers, and they were afraid, so they asked Zhang Tuan to avoid his edge, and Zhang Tuan said angrily: "Avoid the enemy and steal my life, what face will I have to see Zonggong in the future." "Fight to the death. The whole army fought to the death in grief, and although there were many Jin people, they could not win.

Ze heard that Zhang Xuan was in a hurry, and sent Wang Xuan to lead 5,000 cavalry to the rescue. Two days after Zhang's death, Wang Xuan's troops and horses arrived, and the two armies had not yet decided the winner. Wang Xuan joined the battlefield with a fresh army and defeated the Jin army. When Zong Ze heard the news, he personally went out of the city to welcome Zhang Quanzhi's funeral back to Bianliang, comforted his family, and knew Huazhou with Wang Xuanquan. After this battle, the Eastern Route Army felt that Zong Ze was difficult to deal with, so he did not dare to commit Bianliang and moved to the east. And after Zong Han heard about it, he became even more jealous of Zong Ze.

Zong Fu went down to Shandong with a large army, intending to take Zhao Gou directly from Shandong to the south of the Yangtze River! The Southern Song Dynasty court was terrified when it heard the words in Yangzhou, and there was no commander in Shandong at this time, and the only army that could fight in the whole territory was the militia in the hands of Wang Shizhong and the "righteous army" in the hands of Liu Qi. If the Jin army crosses Shandong and crosses the Huai River, it will be able to force Yangzhou where Zhao Gou is located in a few days! Zhao Gou was shocked and anxious, and hurriedly ordered Wang Shizhong to control the armies to block the Jin people's southward journey. Yang Yingqi was also afraid that the Zong auxiliary soldiers would attack thousands of miles and really destroy the Southern Song Dynasty regime, so he almost passed down a secret order at the same time as Zhao Gou to ask Zhao Li and other generals to dispatch cameras to intercept the main force of the Jin soldiers as much as possible. He also ordered Chen Zhenghui to cross south to Qingyang Port to deal with the situation. Wang Shizhong is powerful outside, but in fact he is just a puppet, he is still a master in civil affairs, and Zhao Li and others are almost directly under the orders of Jinmen in military affairs. Although Jinmen and Dengzhou are close to each other, but the sea exchanges, when it is smooth, it may be more convenient than fast horses, but if it is not smooth, it is also possible to get through the news for a month or two, and the war is as urgent as the wind and fire, so Yang Yingqi wants to send a heavy minister to improvise.

After Zhao Gou went south, Liu Qi has been active in the north of Qingzhou, south of Cangzhou, at this time I heard that Zongfu went east, did not retreat but advanced, and actually led troops to save the Daimyofu, as a result, in Qizhou on the shore of Jishui encountered Zongbi, the two sides fought fiercely. At that time, Liu Qi had 5,000 soldiers and horses, and Zong Bi had 3,000 soldiers and horses, but 1,000 of Zong Bi's 3,000 soldiers and horses were Jurchen descendants, and the other 2,000 were also battle-hardened Khitan soldiers. Liu Qi suffered more than 1,000 casualties in this battle, retreated to Zizhou, Zong Bi led light troops to pursue, Liu Qi was defeated again, and retreated to Linzi where he trained soldiers and horses overnight, he cleaned up the remnants of the defeated generals here, and obtained more than 12,000 soldiers and horses.

Dengzhou has been training the militia for seven or eight years, and in recent years it has even expanded its army on a large scale. Although the militia in Dengzhou is now known as the "militia", in fact, there is not much difference between the equipment, treatment and training of the regular army of the Han Dynasty, and Zhao Li and other four militia villages have long developed into four quite usable armies. At this time, hearing Liu Qi's urgency, Zhao Li asked for troops to rescue. Chen Zhenghui was quite hesitant, fearing that it would be difficult to hold on to the Shandong Peninsula after sending people out.

Zhao Lidao: "Now there are more than 100,000 people in Deng and Lai Prefectures, not counting the logistics team, there are 65,000 people in the combat team alone!" It's just that there are outposts along the glue, and there are outposts in almost every mile, which is well defended, but this kind of prevention costs too many troops, and it is inevitably suspected of being redundant. It is better to lay out only three key roads with troops: one is in Haicang Town, downstream of the glue, guarding the northwest gateway of the peninsula; One is in the glue in the glue in the middle of the village, guarding the west portal of the peninsula; One is in Huaizikou West Banqiao Town, guarding the southwest gateway of the peninsula. Haicang and Banqiao each use 5,000 regular soldiers and horses, 10,000 people, because they are close to the sea, and there are other naval troops to help. Jiaozhongzhai uses 10,000 regular soldiers and horses, and 20,000 people. In this way, we still have 40,000 or 50,000 elite soldiers who can be randomly mobilized, either offensive or defensive, but it is flexible. ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "There is no natural danger in the western border of Laizhou to intercept Huma, and the glue is not a big water surface like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. ”

Zhao Lidao: "Under our surveillance, the Jin army wants to bypass these three places to invade Dengzhou and Laizhou, and there will definitely not be many troops that can come over." The morale of the people in the two states of Deng and Lai is quite usable, and the people are brave and brave, so they can be encouraged to defend themselves! If we use mobile forces to expel them, we will be able to expel them! ”

Chen Zhenghui still felt that it was not safe, and Zhao Li said: "If you want to be insured, there is nothing more than to keep the enemy outside." In this way, Liu Qi can't help it! Chen Zhenghui ordered Ichiro to lead 5,000 troops to rescue, Zhao Li was too little, please save 20,000 people, Chen Zhenghui said: "If 20,000 people are transferred north, in case the army is defeated, then the Jin soldiers will go south, I'm afraid we can't even hold the glue line!" "Only 5,000 more men were promised.

At this time, Zongfu's army was already in Linzi, and the first 5,000 reinforcements were surrounded by undecided ones, so they were able to enter the city, but the second 5,000 people were ambushed by the Jin soldiers on the way, losing more than half of them, and had to retreat to Shandong.

While attacking the city, Zongfu chased the tail of the defeated soldiers with a partial division until the glue, and the Shandong Peninsula was shocked.

Yang Yingqi heard that the war in Shandong was unfavorable and that Deng and Laizhou were in danger of falling, so he hurriedly asked Chen Zhenghui if he needed reinforcements, and at the same time ordered the soldiers and horses of southern Liaoning, Japan, Liuqiu, and Mayi to be ready to go.

After Chen Zhenghui received the letter, he wanted to ask for help, but Zhao Li objected: "The strength of the Jin army may not be much stronger than ours, and they attack us and defend us, and we are fighting on our own, which can completely offset the advantage of the Jin army!" Why ask for reinforcements? Besides, the armies in southern Liaoning and other places are all directly subordinate troops of the Han Department, which are different from the teams that we are used to playing the banner of 'militia' in Dengzhou. Now that the general has not been rescued, once the troops directly under the Han Department and the Jin army are taken over, the news will come out, and I am afraid that there will be endless troubles! ”

Chen Zhenghui was also stunned when he heard this, and asked, "What does General Zhao think?" ”

Zhao Lidao: "In response to all changes with the same, according to what I said at the beginning, the troops will be deployed in the north, central and southern three gates, and at the same time declare martial law in Laizhou!" He added: "Although Liu Qi has been defeated twice in a row, he can stand alone against Zongfu with a force of less than 20,000 people, and he can also see his ability." But I can allocate another 10,000 soldiers and 10,000 people to him, and I will lead 20,000 elite soldiers to attack and fight him as horns. ”

Laizhou reinforcements did not come out, and Liu Qi was defeated again. This time, he burned the city to break through, and when the army arrived in Weizhou, he did not enter the city, and went to Mizhou in the south. The Jin soldiers followed, and it took some time to occupy the city of Weizhou, and Liu Qi was able to escape.

Zhao Li heard the news and led 30,000 elite soldiers to cross the glue to hold on to Zongfu, and Chen Zhenghui also moved the military command center of the Shandong Peninsula from Qingyang Port to Huaizikou. When Liu Qi heard the news, he sent someone to ask for troops again, but this time it was his deputy general Xu Wen.

When Chen Zhenghui saw Xu Wen, he was displeased: "General Liu has lost three battles and three times, and he is actually embarrassed to ask for more troops!" ”

Xu Wen retorted: "General Liu is still a Song general, and I, Xu Wen, have been eating the Han Dynasty for a long time, and within the Han Department, I am far superior to him in terms of relatives and qualifications, but seeing that he has been defeated repeatedly, I am still willing to be his deputy general!" Why? Because of these 'defeats', Xu Wen thinks even more that he is qualified to be my main general! Not only am I like this, but so are the generals who followed General Liu all the way down at this time! ”

Chen Zhenghui groaned: "But now I really have no soldiers to send!" He said the layout of the three gates arranged by Zhao Li, and said: "The three gates used 20,000 regular troops, and General Zhao took away more than 30,000 people, and he lost a lot of money by rescuing General Liu twice. I only have more than 5,000 people left on my hands now, and in addition to some hastily trained people! ”

Xu Wendao: "General Liu is now stationed in Gaomi, which is the barrier of Huaizikou. If General Liu is not lost, Huaizikou and Banqiao Town will be safe. If General Liu makes a mistake, even if Huaizikou and Banqiao Town are intact, I am afraid it will be difficult to preserve! ”

Chen Zhenghui asked, "What does General Xu mean?" ”

Xu Wendao: "What I mean is to ask Lord Chen to allocate all the 5,000 people in Huaizikou and the 5,000 people in Banqiao Village to General Liu. ”

Chen Zhenghui exclaimed: "You are crazy! ”

"I'm not crazy!" Xu Wendao: "Lord Chen, if you talk about central decision-making, I don't dare to compare with adults, but in case the Jin soldiers are forced to Banqiao Village and Huaizikou, how are you better than me in this ability to command in battle?" ”

Chen Zhenghui said calmly: "I'm not as good as you." ”

Xu Wen immediately continued: "And I'm not as good as General Liu!" ”

Chen Zhenghui understood what he meant: Xu Wen was saying that the role that these 10,000 soldiers and horses could play in his hands was far less important than in Liu Qi's hands. Although Chen Zhenghui still didn't trust Liu Qi very much, but the matter was forced to this, he could no longer hesitate, and gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! I will immediately sign an order to let the defenders of Banqiao Village be dispatched by Liu Qi, and you can also take the 5,000 military horses in Huaizikou! He added: "You go first, let Liu Qi concentrate on the war, and I will be your logistics officer!" If Gao Mi can't hold it, he will come to Huaizikou, and I will give him the operational command here! ”

Xu Wen was overjoyed, and on the same day, he led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Gaomi to join Liu Qi. Liu Qi got this new force, morale was greatly boosted, and with the full support of Chen Zhenghui, there were many less worries, and he led troops to attack at the moment, and was defeated by Zong Bi near Anqiu, but this time Zong Bi did not ask for much good, the number of attrition on both sides was basically the same, the reason why Liu Qi was defeated was mainly that Liu Qi retreated from the battlefield first, and Zong Bi was unable to pursue when he retreated.

While the Jin army fought fiercely with Liu Qi in the south, it was broken through by Zhao Li in the east and suffered a small defeat in Changyi.

Liu Qi retreated to Gaomi and drove the people to build additional walls and fortifications day and night. Although Liu Qi was defeated all the way, his resistance bought time for the people of Qingzhou and Weizhou to transfer, and these people either hid in remote areas, or retreated into Mizhou and Laizhou. Zhao Li also sent light cavalry to take a detour in a sea ship to harass the rear of the Jin army, although he could not cut off Zongfu's grain route for a while, but he also stumbled the hands and feet of the Jin soldiers.

Zongfu was restrained by Liu Qi and Zhao Li, and the pace of continuous victories of the Eastern Route Army finally came to a standstill.
