A pot of chicken soup inexplicably reduced many estrangements between the three daughters.

Although Wan Yankang had a lot of bruises and swellings on his body, he was in a good mood and rushed to the city refreshed to command the battle.

On the sixth day, after finishing Yan Gang's old skills, a round of trebuchets came to open the way. But in the next siege link, he no longer sent infantry to attack the city, but stepped forward with a large group of cavalry and covered the city wall with a rain of arrows.

Half an hour later, the trebuchet ran out of stones, and the city wall began to counterattack, and Wan Yangang immediately sounded gold.

After the cavalry withdrew, they did not return to the camp, but went around the four gates, and did not know what to do.

Wan Yankang saw that the enemy's whereabouts were strange, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he stared at the city tower for a day.

At the end of the day, the enemy did not move.

When the sun set, Wan Yankang returned to the palace, and Tian Xiaowan and the three of them were overjoyed when they saw him come back early.

Huang Rong said softly: "Brother Kang, are you hungry, I'll give you a whole table of side dishes?" ”

After Yan Kang nodded again and again, Huang Rong drifted to the kitchen, and Tian Xiaowan also grabbed Huang Rong's hand and wanted to give her a hand.

Li Mochou suddenly saw that the two daughters had left, and after looking at Yan Kang's eyes, she suddenly felt a little panicked, and she said timidly: "I'll go to practice first." ”

Wan Yankang pulled her over: "What does it mean to practice alone, brother will accompany you to feed you." ”

Half an hour later, Huang Rong and Tian Xiaowan served four dishes and one soup and laid them out one by one.

After Yan Kang scooped a few bowls of soup, he handed a bowl to Li Mochou first: "Mochou, drink some first." ”

Li Mochou lowered his head and blushed, took the soup bowl, and concentrated on dealing with the bowl of soup in front of him, as if there was a world in the bowl.

Seeing this, Huang Rong seemed to understand something, she came to Wan Yankang's side, and stretched out her hand to pinch!

Wan Yankang cried out in pain and begged for mercy again and again.

Huang Rong gave him a blank look, forget you!

After such a show, Wan Yankang didn't dare to move his hands and feet anymore, and the four of them were eating seriously, chatting about various situations in recent days.

When Yan Kang talked about the recent battle situation, he felt that the enemy's movements were strange.

Huang Rong supported her jaw with her hand, and suddenly slapped it lightly on the table: "Oops, the enemy wants to run!" ”

Wan Yankang asked anxiously why.

Huang Rong stretched out a finger and said: "Wan Yan Gang is a battlefield general, knowing that he can't do anything, he can only retreat knowing the difficulties." ”

Wan Yan Kang nodded, and put him in the position of Wan Yan Gang, and most of the time he could only choose to retreat.

Huang Rong stretched out a second finger: "The enemy army, I'm afraid that it has been evacuated last night, and today's situation is mostly a suspicious strategy!" ”

After Yan Kang pondered for a while, he felt more and more that what Huang Rong said made sense. After eating, he paced in the courtyard again and again, and finally invited Huang Yaoshi and Zhou Botong to go to the enemy camp at night to explore.

Huang Yaoshi naturally had no other opinions, and Zhou Botong was even more excited when he heard that he had something to do.

The three of them infiltrated the enemy camp and found that the camp was empty.

In order to prevent fraud, the three of them also went deep into the enemy camp and searched carefully. Judging from various signs, as Huang Rong said, the infantry under the command of Wan Yangang had been evacuated last night. And the rest of the cavalry also withdrew cleanly that night.

The military situation was known, Wan Yankang rushed back to the city, began to gather the generals, and prepared to lead the cavalry to chase overnight.

Huang Rong heard the news, hurriedly rushed to Yan Kang's side, whispered to him, and left.

After listening to this, Yan Kang pondered to himself. When the generals arrived, he raised his head and said with a smile: "There is an urgent military business, but after thinking about it, Ben Shuai will not act for the time being." Everyone, please come back! ”

Everyone thought that there was an emergency military situation, and they were all wearing armor and knives, and they were fully armed and ready to stop. As a result, when he arrived at the palace, he was sent back, and everyone felt inexplicable.

Early the next morning, when there was no more than half a figure in and out of Wanyan Gang's camp, some people understood Wanyankang's actions last night.

Wu Shi rushed to the head of the city in a hurry, and asked Wan Yankang for his life, and wanted to lead the cavalry to pursue.

Wan Yankang shook his head, indicating that he was not allowed.

Wu Shi is quite anxious, these days, he has been holding back a lot of energy, just waiting here.

Wan Yankang saw that Wu Shiman's eyes were red, and Ma Tie and the others were also puzzled, so he held a small meeting at the head of the city to explain in detail the reason for not sending troops to pursue.

First of all, the 20,000 cavalry under Wanyan Gangqi are all battle-hardened troops. With only 30,000 cavalry in pursuit, the outcome is actually unpredictable.

Secondly, even if you can win, I am afraid that it will be a miserable victory. The main force of the opponent's infantry is still there, and it is difficult to do anything in the follow-up, and it is impossible to completely annihilate the enemy army.

These two points, the generals are clear at one point, Wu Shiman listened to it, and also extinguished the raging war in his chest.

Wan Yankang still has one point, what he didn't make clear to his subordinates is that if he wins a big military victory at this time, from the overall situation, it will be harmful and unprofitable!

Although Wanyan Gang was frustrated under the Zhongdu City, its main force was not damaged, and he relied on Wanyan Hongyan's tiger skin to still compete with Zhongdu. But if he is defeated by Wan Yan Kang and loses, and he is cornered, Wan Yan Gang will have only one way to go.

Lead the crowd to descend the Song!

These views are all said by Huang Rong and Wan Yankang. As soon as he heard it, he sighed in his heart, and he almost forgot that Huang Rong was a female Zhuge .

With Huang Rong's vision at this time, she just felt that it was difficult to win a big victory, and secondly, it was always bad for Wan Yankang to force Wan Yan Gang to the Song Dynasty, but it was difficult for her to judge all the subtleties.

Wan Yankang was also confused for a while, and after being reminded by Huang Rong, he thought more far-reaching.

Wan Yangang led the crowd to surrender to the Song Dynasty, but in fact, the probability is not large.

But after a few days of fighting, Wan Yankang knew that this person was by no means a soft persimmon, and if he bit it badly, his teeth would collapse a lot.

When the time comes, if Yan Yongji and his gang don't take the opportunity to pick peaches, the ghosts won't believe it.

If he worked hard to destroy Wanyan Gang, the 200,000 troops in the south were received by Wanyan Hongxi, wouldn't he be making wedding dresses for others.

Now within Daikin, there are three forces, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Wanyan Hongxi and Wanyan Yongji are considered to be a family, and their military strength is the weakest, but they have political righteousness.

Purely in terms of military strength, at this moment, Wan Yan Gang, who still has an army of 300,000 in his hands, is the leader, and his people push Wan Yan Hongyan to the front of the stage, and he also has a lot of appeal.

Wanyan Honglie's side, because he gave up the throne, he naturally suffered a loss in terms of reputation. Although the soldiers under the command of Wan Yankang are brave, there are too few troops, and it is difficult to sweep the world at present.

Building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming kings, the three major strategies for the rise of the Ming Dynasty are also in line with Wanyankang's ideas to a certain extent.

Therefore, Wan Yankang has already set a strategy in his mind.

Pacify the north and develop and grow.

After learning that Yan Gang had withdrawn from the army, Wan Yan Hongxi quickly convened Yan Honglie's father and son to discuss how to pursue.

Wanyan Kang arched his hand to Wanyan Hongxi, took out a secret letter from his arms, and said solemnly: "Uncle is above, the grassland has changed, and my nephew needs to return to the army and go north immediately!" ”

Wanyan Hongxi took the letter, read it hastily, and handed it to Wanyan Yongji and the others for a look.

After reading Yan Yongji, he kept persuading Yan Kang to stay for a few days, and it was not too late to go north after Yan Gang was destroyed.

This secret letter was just forged by Wan Yankang at will, in order to gag everyone's mouths. He had an idea of where he could say that outsiders could be shaken, and after repeatedly confessing his guilt, he ordered the army to march north that day.

After Yan Yongji and others saw that Yan Kangzhen led the army to leave Beijing, they all breathed a sigh of relief and celebrated one after another.

After Yan Kang's army left Beijing, he first went to Dading Mansion, where he announced the appointment of Yelu Yunbo in public, and asked him to go to Tokyo Road to take up his post after ten days.

After listening to the holy decree, Yelu Yunbo's mind was blank, and it took a while to react, and he kowtowed to Yan Kang again and again, sobbing and saying that ten thousand deaths were not enough to repay the favor.

Wan Yankang helped him up and said with a slight smile: "Yunbo, Ben Shuai doesn't need you to die, you don't need to die." You are a smart person, Ben Shuai only hopes that you will always be smart, don't be confused! ”

After hearing this, Yelu Yunbo immediately said that he would do his best and die, and also claimed that he was not good at martial arts, so he asked Wan Yankang to send a general to help.

Wan Yankang waited for this sentence, and he left behind with 5,000 soldiers and horses to assist Yelu Yunbo and lead the military on Tokyo Road.

In addition, Wan Yan Kang also allocated 5,000 men and horses to Wan Yan Hongyi, and ordered him to go to Xijing Road as soon as possible.

The newly appointed three-way guard, only Li Xi'er, who stayed on Shangjing Road, was not yet in place.

Li Xi'er went to Taizhou a few days ago, but as soon as the front foot left Beijing, the old emperor died on the back foot. After Yan Kang led the army south, he could only live temporarily in Taizhou.

This has come and gone, and it has been nearly a month. With Li Xi'er's temperament, he had long been impatient to stay in the place where birds don't lay eggs in Taizhou, and after learning that Yan Kang had entered the central capital, he took his pro-army south to return to Beijing. When he arrived at Dading Mansion, he learned that Yan Gang's army was besieging the city, so he had to stay here again.

After Yan Kang invited Li Xi'er, he took out the holy decree with a smile and asked him when he was going to take office.

Li Xi'er took the holy decree, pretended to read it a few times, and said to Yan Kang with a wry smile: "Brother, you know my brother, I am proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, and let my brother govern every day, wouldn't it cost me my life!" ”

In the hot summer, Wan Yankang took the feather fan, shook it gently, and said: "Big brother, stay all the way, in our Dajin, I don't know how many people have sharpened their heads and want to do it!" ”

Li Xi'er's head shook like a rattle, and only said: "Anyway, my brother is not going to take office, how to fiddle with this Shangjing Road, you just look at it!" ”

Li Xi'er seems to be a stubborn man, but he is actually smart, how can he not understand Wan Yankang's purpose of asking for this official position for him. Rather than really taking office and being overshadowed by Wan Yankang's subordinates, it is better to take the initiative to cooperate.

Wan Yankang smiled slightly, this cheap big brother is really eye-catching.

As the saying goes, you will return the favor. Li Xi'er is so cooperative, he can't be stingy. After Yan Kang stretched out three fingers: "Big brother, every Chinese New Year's Eve, thirty thousand taels of filial piety, plus all kinds of treasures on the Beijing Road, will definitely be delivered to the mansion on time." ”

When Li Xi'er heard this, she immediately smiled.

Shangjing Road covers most of the three northeastern provinces today, and at this time it can be described as a bitter cold place, although the population is not large, and the tax can be created is also small. But for Daikin, Shangjing Road has a special significance.

The Land of Dragons!

In the land of Dajin's Longxing, there are many old and young relics of the clan, and every move on Shangjing Road is easier to turn small things into big ones. After successfully getting Li Xi'er, Wan Yankang repaired in Dading Mansion for two days, and then prepared to go to Shangjing Road to take over the military and political power, and after rectifying it, he would make plans.

An urgent report from White Horse City disrupted Yan Kang's plan.

After Yan Kang thought about it, appointed Wu Feixiong as the commander of the Shangjing Road, and led 10,000 soldiers and horses to take up his post.

After arranging a stop, Wan Yankang brought his own cavalry and quickly went north.
