Wan Yan Shoudao, who was standing in front of the map, had a calm smile on his face, but after he drew a line along the Yellow River on the map, the expression on his face began to become solemn, and the atmosphere in the entire government office seemed to be a little lower in an instant.

The corners of his mouth still had a cynical smile on the corner of his mouth, King Wei Shao, the guard general of Jinan Mansion, Wan Yan Kuang, the prefect of Jinan Mansion, Zheng Zan, and Mou Yan, who came with Wan Yan Shoudao, silently watched and moved in front of the map, like a frozen Wan Yan Shoudao.

I don't know how long time has passed, as Wanyan Shoudao, who has not moved for a long time, threw down the brush in his hand, and the tip of the pen happened to fall on the three characters of Kaifeng Mansion on Nanjing Road, and when the ink instantly submerged the three characters, Wanyan Shoudao sighed heavily.

"Ye Qing is so ambitious." Wanyan Shoudao continued to stare at the map, and the three words of Kaifeng Mansion were blurred by ink, as if Kaifeng Mansion had been erased from the map.

"What do you mean by that, General?" Wei Shaowang, who always looked like he didn't care about himself and was cynical, took two steps forward, glanced at the map and asked.

After glancing at Queen Wei Shao, Wanyan Shoudao picked up the brush that erased Kaifeng Mansion again, his eyes fixed on several important cities along the Yellow River, and his calm and powerful hand suddenly pointed at the three characters of Jinan Mansion with the tip of the pen again.

Looking at the few people who slowly gathered around him, Wan Yan Shoudao sneered at the corner of his mouth, and then took the pen again, this time on the three words of Jingzhao Mansion.

"There are countless heavy cities south of the Yellow River, but from east to west, there is no more important three cities than Jinan Mansion on Shandong East Road, Kaifeng Mansion on Nanjing Road, and Jingzhao Mansion on Jingzhaofu Road. In Wanyan Shoudao's tone, he said slowly with a hint of admiration at this time.

Jinan Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion, Jingzhao Mansion (Chang'an), from east to west along the south of the Yellow River and built, after the Yellow River was traced with a black pen in Wanyan Shoudao, and the three cities were pointed out on the map, at this time the three cities were like three points and one line, the importance of the map is clear at a glance, even a fool can see that occupying the three cities is like taking a large territory south of the entire Yellow River.

Even if there are still some small cities that resist stubbornly at that time, they are just small waves in the sea after all, and they can't make any movement at all, and they can't cause any containment and harm to the army occupying the three cities.

The brush in Wanyan Shoudao's hand, as if he was interested in the map, once again pointed out the black dot in Jinan Mansion and drew a black line to the south, and the end point of the brush fell straight on the three characters of Haizhou City.

A straight black sè long line suddenly made the cynical world, and Wei Shao Wang, who had been stroking his chin with his arms on his chest and one hand, couldn't help but gasp, hurriedly put down his arm, pointed to the black line and said: "The general's meaning is that the Song army will directly take Jinan Mansion?" ”

Wanyan Shoudao once again ignored Wanyan Yongji's question, and the brush in his hand drew an oblique line from Kaifeng Mansion to the southeast again, connecting it with Xuzhou: "Zhao Gou fled all the way from Kaifeng Mansion, Ying Tianfu took a short rest, and then crossed the river south along the route to Xuzhou and Dayangzhou. Now Ye Qing has broken through Xuzhou and retreated in Tengzhou, so that this person can take Kaifeng Mansion to the west and Jinan Mansion to the east. This is to confuse us and others, let us guess whether he will attack Jinan or Kaifeng next, so that our army has to take care of the two cities and divide them. ”

"General, no matter whether he Ye Qing wants to take Jinan Mansion in the east or Kaifeng Mansion in the west, he must pass through other cities, so that we can clearly judge what he wants to do?" Wan Yan Kuang asked puzzled, and Wan Yan Shoudao, who looked a little sad at this time.

Glancing at Wan Yan Kuang, Wan Yan Shoudao smiled, and continued to say lightly: "Ye Qing is now in Tengzhou, but who is in Zizhou and other places?" The Song army is not a two-way army, but a three-way army. Now that Yu Yunwen is in Jingzhao Mansion, I am afraid that taking Jingzhao Mansion is just around the corner. There is an unknown Song army in the east, Yu Yunwen in the west, and Ye Qing, who is the main force, seems to have no clear purpose, but he occupies between Jinan Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, containing and attracting our attention, so as to reduce the pressure on his wings. Therefore, he, Ye Qing, is now not cooperating with the two wings of the army to pursue the victory and continue to attack the city and seize the land, but is shrinking back, so what does he want to do? ”

Wanyan Shoudao still did not directly answer Wanyan Kuang's words, but everyone's eyes fell on the map, cruising on the black line from Haizhou that Wanyan Shoudao had just drawn to Jinan Mansion, and then looking at the black line from Tengzhou to Kaifeng, and the black line from Dasanguan to Jingzhao Mansion drawn by Wanyan Shoudao at this time, everything was clear at this time.

The Song army on the unknown East Road obviously wanted to rely on Haizhou and directly pointed at Jinan Mansion, Yu Yunwen was in Dasanguan, and his target was naturally to directly target Jingzhao Mansion, and Ye Qing, who was in the middle, ...... Does he intend to Kaifeng Mansion? Or is this man so noble that he would rather use himself as bait and sacrifice himself to complete his two-wing army?

And it is undeniable that the Huainan East Road led by Ye Qing is definitely the main force of the Song people's northern expedition this time, but the speed of the two wings now attacking the city and grabbing the land is much faster than his main army that is shrinking forward.

Such an abnormal and strange behavior also made Wanyan Shoudao and the others look at the map blankly, and for a while they couldn't figure out what Ye Qing's intention was and what his purpose was!

It's like one

The person is standing at the door of your house far away, and he does not continue to fight with you, nor does he retreat and hold on, but instead steps on Tengzhou, which is like a cordon, where he looks at you with a smirk and provokes you.

And you know that someone on both sides of him has entered your house through the window, but because the guy in front of you who is extremely responsive to you and disgusting you, has been teasing you with a hippie smile, and there is still an absolute main army behind you that seems to be eyeing you, and it makes it difficult for you to withdraw and go all out to repel the people who broke through the window on both sides.

This feeling made Wanyan Shoudao and the others feel a sense of powerlessness that had nowhere to vent, and they felt completely disgusted by Ye Qing's personal behavior.

He doesn't beat you, he doesn't scold you, he just stands so far away to respond to you and disgust you, which makes Wanyan Shoudao a little worried, once he leads the main force out of the city to meet the attack, will Ye Qing not look back with his tail between his legs, lead the army to withdraw to Yangzhou immediately, and not fight you at all?

But Wanyan Shoudao also knew that if he led the upcoming army and went out of the city to meet Ye Qing's Huainan East Road army, unless it could be fully attractive and attracted Ye Qing's army to think that it was an opportunity, in this way, he might be able to seize Ye Qing's main army and engage in a battle with him.

Of course, there is also a price to be paid for this battle, and similarly, there is also a need to worry about Ye Qing's two wings, which can be resisted by other Jin armies while attacking the city and plundering the land.

Wanyan Shoudao is confident and believes that Dajin's iron cavalry can prevent the Song people from continuing to commit crimes, but the current situation is just because Dajin is careless, and Ye Qing and others are well prepared, so that, on the surface, it seems that the Song people now have the upper hand.

But if he can compete with Ye Qing, seize his main army and then annihilate it, then his two wings will be disintegrated invisibly.

Like a master switch, Ye Qing's nondescript position is becoming more and more important, so that even if Wan Yan Shoudao wants not to notice Ye Qing, the strategy of repelling the two wings first and then finding Ye Qing's main force is completely unworkable.

Only by taking the initiative to seek an opportunity to fight Ye Qing can the Song people who invaded Dajin be defeated like a tide in the simplest and most effective way.

"Lord Ye doesn't really want to have a hard fight with Jinren, right?" In an endless valley, a river like a jade belt meandered through, and Zhong Silkworm walked out of the water naked, wiping his strong body while asking Mo Xiaobao who was dressed on the bank.

"Lord Ye is naturally going to have a decisive battle with the Jin people, otherwise why would he stay in Tengzhou all the time? In this way, the Jin people were confused, and they didn't know what Lord Ye wanted to do, so they had to choose to lead the main army to fight to the death with the adults. Mo Xiaobao touched the sheepskin jacket that had been drying for a long time next to him, it was still wet, turned his head to look at the golden armor on the horseback, shook his head again, and then put on thin clothes, took off the armor on the horseback, and began to wash the war horse.

"So, when the time comes, we can show our skills and let the Jin people see how powerful our flower planting army is?" Zhong Silkworm asked happily.

Not only him or Mo Xiaobao, but even the soldiers of every flower planting army are now gearing up, over the years, they have never shown their combat effectiveness in front of Ye Qing, so now that they finally seize an opportunity, they naturally want to let Ye Qing see that his years of cultivation are not a rabble like thousands of bandits who have spent money and food.

"I don't know, we finally got in touch with Lord Ye, what should we do next, let's continue to wait, in short...... The knives are sharpened, the arrows are polished, and the horses are fed, no matter what, this battle must let everyone remember the banner of our flower planting army. Mo Xiaobao washed the war horse, while looking up at the sun, on the high banner, the sunflower flag was waving in the wind, I don't know when, above the sunflower, a huge leaf word was shown on it.

"Don't say it, the leaf words embroidered by Tie Yi himself are really good-looking, how do you look at it, it seems to have a murderous aura." Zhong Silkworm said as he put on his clothes.

"Didn't you say you looked delicate?" Mo Xiaobao glanced at Zhong Silkworm, after the iron clothes were embroidered by his own hands, Zhong Silkworm blurted out that it looked too delicate without brains, so Zhong Silkworm was engaged in the military law of Yelu Iron Clothes, and the swollen and painful ass could not sit firmly on the saddle for several days.

"What's the matter, it's clear that you said it." Zhong Silkworm retorted, and then took out the map from the wallet on the horse's back, spread it out on the ground, and began to look at it and said: "Uncle Li San'er and Uncle Liu are now leading the army to cruise on the East Shandong Road, maybe when the Jin people go out of the city to find the main force of the adults, they will immediately lead their troops to attack Jinan Mansion, but they have to fight quickly, if they wait for the Jin people and the army to go south, ......." ”

"South, you think the Tatars on the grassland are fools, it's already autumn here, and now I'm afraid it's already cold and shivering on the grassland, whether it's the Kereh Department or the Qiyan Department, or the Zadaran Department, it is estimated that they are all fighting the idea of the black stone in Wuzhou." Once they have some unpleasant friction and conflict with the Jin people this year, how can the Jin people find more troops to go south? Therefore, in addition to waiting for the main force of the Jin people to find us, I am afraid that after the cold winter comes, when the Jin people are attacked in the north and south, they will ...... Hey. Mo Xiaobao also looked at the map, pointed to Jingzhao Mansion with one hand and Jinan Mansion with the other, and then closed it together with a smile.

"As long as Lord Ye restrains the main force of the Jin people in the middle lane, it is best if we can win in the battle, then once General Yu Yunwen and Third Uncle Li can take Jingzhao Mansion and Jinan Mansion, then they will help Lord One

Tonghe encircled Kaifeng Mansion, so that the territory south of the Yellow River would be in the hands of adults. Zhong Silkworm said with great optimism.

"Yes, it's easier said than done, if we can win this battle, we may still have a chance to recover the territory south of the Yellow River, but if we lose...... We've got to finish the game. Mo Xiaobao lay on the stones on the bank of the river and said leisurely in the sun.

The army of nearly 5,000 people camped was inexplicably disciplined, perhaps because they had long been accustomed to the boring camping life all year round on the grassland, so even in this valley, there were not too many chaotic sounds.

Even the birds and beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests, who had been frightened and fled when they first set up camp, now felt that these people would not pose a danger to them, and quietly ran back to their lair, and from time to time they would look down at the new guests who were black on the banks of the river.

Ye Qing from Tengzhou didn't wait for another news from Dong Chao, but received news from Lin'an.

Wang Huai finally made another move, different from signaling Shi Miyuan to continue to do things from the grain and grass, this time, Wang Huai chose to move the wounds of the Huainan East Road army, in order to remind Ye Qing to stop.

"Li Heng was deposed and put in the forbidden army." Chen Cishan, who rushed over from Xuzhou, after seeing Ye Qing, reported to Ye Qing that Li Heng, whom he had never met, was now in Lin'an.

"Expected." Ye Qing nodded and said lightly: "How is Yangzhou?" ”

"Lord Bai was also deposed, because the matter of grain and grass was disputed with the Ministry of Households, so the court ordered the recall of Lord Bai, and now the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road is temporarily served by Yang Huaizhi. It was the lady who personally sent Lord Bai back to Lin'an. Chen Cishan thought about it for a while, but still added.

"The Tao is not the same, although my father-in-law, although he is not used to what I do, but in the matter of fighting against gold and recovering lost land, his strong will can be compared with very many people, but it is just ......." Ye Qing pointed to his temples, smiled and said: "It's just that the brain is more axial, a tendon, and it's best not to be an official." ”

"Madame is afraid that something will happen to Lord Bai after he returns to Lin'an, so she will personally send Lord Bai back to Lin'an. But Yangzhou, Huainan East Road ....... Chen Cishan said again and again.

"Ye Heng and Liu Dexiu can't make it into a big climate, don't worry." A wry smile flashed at the corner of Ye Qing's mouth, because the urgency of time did not wait for anyone, so that at this time, he had some similarities with Wanyan Shoudao who was far away in Jinan Mansion.

Wanyan Shoudao was waiting for his next move, and then he would decide whether to compete with Ye Qing, and Ye Qing also needed a big victory, a victory that completely established their current superiority and transformed their superficial advantage into an absolute advantage on the battlefield.

The reason why he unswervingly chose a battle, in addition to Ye Qing's belief that this battle can completely turn the advantage of the Huainan East Road army into a victory, is that he urgently needs this battle to deter Wang Huai and others behind him from secretly making small moves, so that after he sets out on the expedition, no one on the Huainan East Road behind him dares to act at will.

Ye Qing believed that once he achieved a great advantage in the two roads of Shandong, even including the Nanjing Road, he would be like a prince at that time, and the imperial court would become cautious whether it was the adjustment of officialdom on the Huainan East Road or the constraints on his grain and grass.

And these days, he continued to stay in Tengzhou, appointing officials large and small since Haizhou was breached, these officials have never been in the hands of the imperial court, they were completely appointed by him Ye Qing, and now they have naturally attracted the dissatisfaction of the imperial court.

The next battle between him and Wanyan Shoudao is bound to be inevitable, and it is obviously impossible for him to have a lot of energy to focus on the appointment and dismissal of officials after being attacked and plundered by Li San, Lao Liu Tou and Yu Yunwen, so Chen Cishan, who was urgently recruited from Yangzhou, is the best appeasement.

Ye Qing had high hopes for Chen Cishan, and Chen Cishan did not disappoint Ye Qing.

After Xin Qiji withdrew to Xuzhou, Chen Cishan also arrived in Xuzhou almost at the same time, facing Wanyan Zheng, who was surrendered by Ye Qing, Chen Cishan was able to do not give the slightest face, and cut through the chaos quickly, and it took less than seven days to reorganize the entire officialdom in Xuzhou.

Although Wanyan Zheng is still the governor of Xuzhou, after Chen Cishan's extremely deep belly and black fiddling, Wanyan Zheng suddenly found that the power in his hands seemed to be getting less and less, and how to figure out how to feel like a puppet of the Song people.

"But ......." Chen Cishan paused, and finally said stubbornly: "My lord, the lower official has a sentence that no matter whether he should say it or not, the lower official wants to tell the adult, and Lord Ye Hengye still needs to deal with it carefully." While the imperial court deposed Lord Bai, it also sent Lord Ye Hengye as the deputy envoy of Huainan East Road, and similarly, he still held the position of envoy for punishment. ”

"Let Li Heng go to Yangzhou, Lin'an Liuliang's housekeeper is enough." Ye Qing looked up at the sky, thought for a while, and said wistfully: "Let the trap mediate this matter, and be sure to let Li Heng's family leave Lin'an." ”

"Yes, sir." Listening to Ye Qing's words, Chen Cishan's tone of reply was a little trembling, that is, even the atrium was a little trembling.

He knew very well what this meant, with Li Heng's withdrawal from Lin'an, it meant that after Ye Qing's forces were deposed with Li Heng of the Imperial City Division, there was no need to continue to stay in Lin'an.

Even, he faintly felt that maybe from now on, Lin'an's army on Huainan East Road would be ...... for Ye Qing It will no longer be the original Lin'an.
