Since Zongwang went down to Yanjing, the use of soldiers all the way can really be described as unscrupulous! In fact, along the way, Zongwang basically didn't even conquer a real fortified city, and most of the cities under it relied on the city to surrender - what is the meaning of drinking and surrendering? It is to line up the soldiers outside the city, and then threaten the guards inside the city to surrender.

This tactic sounds a bit ridiculous, but it has been tried and tested many times since the attack on the Tokyo Province of Liao, and it is really that there are so many timid and stupid guards who are frightened or flee or surrender when they see the soldiers and horses coming, and even the guards of Zhending and Zhongshan are brave and stubborn, but they are unable to go out of the city to invite battle. Therefore, Zongwang gradually changed from the caution in the early stage of the invasion of the Song Dynasty to the arrogance and arrogance of the present, and even his attitude towards Zhi Yanchong was very different: when he was in Yanjing, he still had a lot of respect for Zhi Yanchong's words, but in addition to repeated victories, his prestige became more and more important, and he gradually stopped looking at the Han people in his eyes, and even despised Zhi Yanchong a little.

Zhi Yanchong was well aware of this change in him, and Ouyang Shi and Yang Yingqi, who were far away in Tanggu and Jinmen, also found this subtle change from the correspondence: as long as Zongwang Zonghan's power was stronger, their tone would be tougher! After Zhao Huan humiliated himself and showed weakness, he made the Jin people feel that the Great Song Dynasty was already in the bag, and as long as the Great Song Dynasty was subdued, when the time came, the world would be forced into a corner, and a small Han would be enough!

Finally, Ouyang Shi was a little breathless, he thought that if he continued like this, if he really let the Jurchens seize the Central Plains, then the Han Department would be dangerous! At this time, Zhi Yanchong was placed under house arrest, Cao Guangbi returned to the Song Dynasty, Xiao Tienu rebelled, in Ouyang Shi's heart, whether it was Yang Kaiyuan, Yang Yingqi or Aluman, they did not have the spirit of pioneering and enterprising, he thought that now he was the only one who could support the banner of Han Ministry's foreign expansion, Ouyang Shi! Therefore, he suggested that Yang Yingqi quickly turn the power of Shandong into light, change his strategy and grab land with the Jurchens!

But before the letter of this suggestion was sent, it was strongly opposed by Chen Xian: "Fourth General, your suggestion to General Seven will not accept." Because if he does this, then everything that Hanbu has done before will be wasted. What's more, the decisive figures of this big battle have not all appeared so far! Doing it now will only make those who haven't done it yet see through our reality! ”

Ouyang Shi said unhappily: "What I'm afraid of is that if we don't do anything now, it will be too late when we want to do it!" ”

"It won't be late!" Chen Xiandao: "As long as there are two things, the Han Department will always have a chance to make a move!" ”

Ouyang Shi asked, "What two things?" ”

"Soldier! Grain! ”

Although the Jinmen Center experienced a serious financial crisis after the war last year, the financial crisis was not a structural crisis, but an event crisis, and after that difficulty, once the financial situation of the Han Ministry was back on track, the Han Ministry's finances began to run a surplus again -- and this surplus was generated on the premise that the Han Ministry continued to expand military spending.

Chen Xiandao: "In addition to the impact of the war in northern Liaoning, we have been vigorously developing Mayi and Subin Mansion in the past five years, and the development of these two places is very expensive, but now Subin Mansion can achieve self-sufficiency, and Mayi will become the second major demand of the Han Department!" If my estimate is correct, then the tax revenue of the Han Ministry in the next three years should be as high as the sum of the previous ten years. ”

With the gradual southward expansion of the southeastern merchants, the edge of administrative power has reached Boni (that is, the area around Kalimantan Island in Malaysia in later generations), and last year the merchants of the Southeast Spice Road paid taxes and fees equal to the total agricultural tax in the Han Dynasty, and this year Chen Xian estimates that this figure will be doubled again.

"Therefore, the four generals, as long as we have soldiers and food in our hands, we will always have a chance to win. Don't be in a hurry! The better the situation of the Jin people, the more you have to calm down! After all, the Jurchen is a country of sudden prosperity, and if it expands too quickly, it will definitely show flaws. The most important thing for us now is how to make good use of the money and food in our hands to wait for the world to change! ”

Ouyang Shi's irritability finally calmed down under Chen Xian's persuasion, and Yang Yingqi became more and more calm after looking at a spy report from Bianliang.

"Seventh General, the situation in Bianliang looks very bad!" Chen Zhenghui said: "At the beginning, you were so worried that you vomited blood just because of the loss of Yanjing, why don't you seem to be so worried now?" ”

Yang Yingqi flicked the spy report and said: "Now that the situation is very good, why should I worry? ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "The situation is good? In this situation, why can't it be considered a big deal? ”

Yang Yingqi sighed and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "Now the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers are not effective in the War of Resistance, and Bianliang is in danger. If the Great Song Dynasty perishes, it won't necessarily do us any good! ”

Yang Yingqi nodded and said, "If our opponent only has Dajin, then the current situation is indeed not good, and it can even be said to be very bad." But our opponent is not only Daikin! ”

Chen Zhenghui said with a pang in his heart: "The Seventh General is saying that the Great Song Dynasty is also our opponent?" ”

"Of course." Yang Yingqi said: "We are fighting with the Jurchens for land, and we are fighting for people's hearts with Zhao Guan's family!" The collapse of the Great Song Dynasty's national defense is something we are not happy to see, but the loss of the authority of the Zhao family's Son of Heaven is very beneficial to the acceptance of us by the Central Plains scholars! In a word: we want the Great Song Dynasty to collapse, but we don't want it to collapse too quickly -- this is the most difficult place for us in terms of politics and strategy! ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "But what I am most afraid of now is that the Zhao family will throw away the land and people's hearts together, so that we will fall into an extremely difficult situation!" ”

Yang Yingqi sighed and said, "Yes, this point is indeed worrying!" The battle situation in Bianliang is so passive, if it weren't for the fact that the eldest brother was still in Zong Wang's hands, I couldn't help but want to do it! ”

Ouyang Shi and Yang Yingqi were not the only people who were restless because of the battle situation in front of them, and Chong Yansong, who was wandering on the north bank of the Yellow River, wanted to rush back to Bianjing desperately and fight to the death with Zong Wang. The millions of soldiers and civilians in Bianliang are becoming more and more depressed under the oppression of the Jin soldiers, the morale of the army is low, and everyone in the people is in danger.

"What to do? Will Bianliang City be broken? ”

Everyone has this question in their hearts, especially the lower-class people, they don't have any other way out like scholars, for them, Bianliang is home, a home that cannot be lost! Once Huma conquers the city, they will have nothing! Although Li Gang and others tried to boost morale, many measures were often abandoned halfway due to the constraints of the court situation. And what's more: they don't see any hope of victory so far!

But that changed suddenly in the middle of the new year! In the last few days of the first month, the division of King Qin on the East Jingdong Road was gradually approaching, and a different wind gradually blew on the West Road - the wind seemed to be blowing from the Loess Plateau on the edge of Shaanxi!

"Newspaper - the seed is here!"

"What! Is the seed less guaranteed coming? ”

"That's right! Chong Shaobao led a million troops to Beijing to master King Qin! Now the striker has arrived in Bianhe! This is the list of texts, get it out! ”

"The ...... is coming"

"Shaanxi soldiers are coming......"

"Chong Shaobao led a million troops to Beijing to teach King Qin!"

The military horse of the Planter Dao has not yet arrived, but his list has already flown to the Bianhe! The soldiers and civilians along the way from Luoyang to Bianliang were all excited when they heard the news!

"It's coming, it's coming, it's finally here! Jingshi is saved! We are saved! ”

"We're saved!"

"There is salvation!"

In Bianliang City, the Bianliang defenders, who were already getting depressed, also cheered up when they saw the list!

That's right! The officer confirmed that it was the signing of the master's way! Seed less is really coming!

"Hold on! Just hold on for a few days! We will win when the seed is less guaranteed! ”

This list has given hope to the hearts of millions of soldiers and civilians, and after having hope, people's hearts have settled down a lot! Although the Jin army is fierce, it can always be done when it is guarded to the seed and the young baolai! Even Zhao Huan rubbed his hands again and again when he heard about it in the palace, thinking that it should be no problem to save his life this time.

Zong Wang also seemed to smell something wrong, and ordered the soldiers and horses to be reorganized, and rode west to find out the military situation of the Song army. All the way, the group of people was vibrating, and they all said that the old breed led a million western troops to Qinwang!

I saw the list, but what about the soldiers and horses? The list of the Seed Master Dao arrived first, but his soldiers and horses never appeared. However, after the appearance of the list and before the appearance of the Seed Master Road, some Qinwang soldiers and horses on Jingxi Road arrived first, and these horses were like the prelude to the appearance of the Seed Master Road, playing note by note until the eleventh day of the first month.

The eleventh day of the first month.

On this day, a soldier and horse quite different from other Song troops suddenly appeared in the Bianhe River Valley, although the number of soldiers and horses was not much, but when they encountered the Jin soldiers, they not only did not retreat but met them, and approached the Jin camp!

"This is the pioneer of the Cultivation Path?"

At this time, the army of the Quartet Qin King had gathered a lot, and in terms of numbers, it had already surpassed the strength of the Jin army. Therefore, the arrogance of the Jin people gradually faded and the fear gradually emerged. Although the number of soldiers and horses from the west was small, the spirit and courage displayed were inspiring to those who loved them, and those who were enemies were afraid! Zong Wang was afraid that there would be a future in the Dao of the Seed Master, and the battle would be unfavorable, so he rode back. This western army gradually reunited, and after gathering six or seven thousand people, it gradually pressed towards the golden camp.

Zongwang couldn't figure out the details of the Dao of the Planters, so he didn't dare to divide his troops, abandoned the neighboring prefectures and counties that had been captured, and built a wall in Muluogang. The south of Kaifeng Mansion has only seen a little peace since then.

A few days later, Yang Yingqi and Chen Xian received the news separately, and sighed in almost the same tone: "It's finally here......"

And after such a long time, the million-strong army still did not appear - but this question is not important for the time being, this list of the master has stabilized the entire Gyeonggi region, and the war situation in the Central Plains has also completely reversed because of the arrival of this list.

In some cases, one man's name can be stronger than an army of 100,000!
