In Yizhou City, Yang Lin looked at the smoke rising from the Jurchen camp in the distance, and his heart fluctuated.

At this point, Yang Lin wanted to raise troops to the south and kill all the thieves, but this was obviously not possible. If it is willful and cannibalistic, and the Hebei Jin soldiers are making trouble, so that Cai You can eat the bitter fruit, it is a traitorous act. In that case, the Central Plains will be completely chaotic, and the north of the Yellow River may fall under the iron hooves of the Jurchens as soon as possible. Even if you want to settle accounts, you have to wait until after this battle.

In the temples of the Great Song Dynasty, everything has always been to give way to the party struggle, if Yang Lin is like them, I am afraid that at this time, he will be the same as the late Ming Dynasty in later generations, and lose the hatred of the Han Dynasty for 10,000 years. Thinking of this, Yang Lin was completely disappointed in his heart, Cai You was hateful, but Cai You was by no means the only culprit. That Liang Shicheng and Zhao Ji intervened in the border war several times, ruining the good situation.

At the beginning, Wang Huang killed tens of thousands of people in Tubo, and these officials who lived in temples didn't take it to heart at all, and in their eyes, tens of thousands of people were killed, and I am afraid that it was not as important as a lantern in Bianliang. If Yang Lin is more proficient in the history of the Song Dynasty, he will know that this is the routine operation in the late Northern Song Dynasty. The sudden collapse of a rich dynasty is bound to be rotten and rotten into a puddle of mud inside.

But let it go, and this hard-won good situation will become a big gamble. Under his own plan, the Great Song Dynasty could have slowly fought a protracted war with the Jurchens in Youyan, using the heritage of the Han dynasty and the richness of the Great Song Dynasty to grind away this newly rising brutal tribe little by little.

If he continues according to this script, no matter how good he is for the Jurchens, in the end he can only become a fleeting meteor in the long river of history, and the scenery will be completely destroyed by the vengeful Khitans in less than a few years.

Now that he is forced to fight a decisive battle in advance, the outcome is still unknown, how can he not make people sigh. Several young generals stood behind him, looked at each other, and stepped forward together, Wu Lan hugged his fists and said: "Shaozai, the heralds have already sent orders to the various defense lines of Youyan, and the men and horses on our side have been assembled since the morning, and the Jurchens on the opposite side are aware of it, and they are also shrinking their forces. ”

Yang Lin nodded, his face was painful and he closed his eyes deeply, but when he turned back with a light smile: "The world is out of my generation, this time Youyan will meet in the wind and clouds, we are lucky to catch up." We have a great chance of winning, we all fucking lift our spirits, and if we play well, we will leave a name in history together. In the next 100 years, or even a thousand years, there will continue to be people talking about this war. ”

Wu Jue was secretly distressed in his heart, Shaozai smiled on the surface, and when he said "lucky to catch up" just now, he gritted his teeth unconcealably, and his voice was clearly squeezed out of his throat. From the beginning of the signing of the alliance with the Khitan Yunzhou Mansion, Shaozai's magnificent strategic layout can be described as the handiwork of a national soldier in Youyan, and he can almost successfully solve the border troubles for a long time in the future. After all, the Jurchens have been defeated, and the Khitan is vassal to the Great Song Dynasty, and this pass will usher in unprecedented tranquility.

What a pity!

Yang Lin turned his head and continued to face the mountains and rivers and dense forests outside Yizhou City, his eyebrows flew into his sideburns and his eyelids drooped, and he clenched his fists and said secretly in his heart: A group of pickled dogs, you wait for Lao Tzu to free his hands.

"What? Assemble for a decisive battle? ”

Han Shizhong's throat almost deafened the ears of the little soldier who came to deliver the order.

"Han Shuai, this is Shaozai's order, it's true."

Han Shizhong snorted coldly and said, "Come on, drag this spy out and cut it down, Shaozai is famous and powerful, and he is half a point stronger than my old Han." At this time, the decisive battle is not crazy, I can fall on your. ”

Han Shizhong's unsparing temperament, the little soldier has been in the border army for a long time, and he also knows it, for fear that he will really cut himself, so he hurriedly said loudly: "Han Shuai, the Jurchen division of troops to the south, has reached the hinterland of Hebei, the 200,000 forbidden troops in Beijing have stopped in the Daimyo's Mansion, and Shaozai is being forced to go to war." ”

There were already pro-soldiers who came up to catch this herald and go out to cut off their heads, hearing this, Han Shizhong hurriedly waved his hand and stood up from the chair.

"The roads in Hebei are difficult to travel, sparsely populated, and there are military villages built by the Khitan in the past. Guarding Hebei is a hundred times easier than guarding Youyan, not to mention that it is dozens of times simpler, there are always 200,000 forbidden troops plus the original Hebei Zhulu soldiers and horses, 300,000 must be had, right? It's only been a few days since I was beaten to the hinterland of Hebei? ”

The herald was shocked and sweated, and hurriedly said: "Han Shuai, this is Shaozai's own order, Han Shuai can send someone to verify." ”

Many of the generals in the tent looked unwilling to fight a decisive battle, and the Danzhou defense system run by Han Shizhong was by no means a lonely military village for the Jurchen Tartars to attack. In fact, they can support each other, and they will help each other when they are attacked. And the defenders are a strong army that has been tempered for a long time and can fight tough battles. With the level of the Jurchen Tartars, there is no hope for opening the defense line here.

Not to mention that the small defense lines echo each other, the three major defense lines of Yizhou Yang Lin, Zong Ze of Juyongguan, and Han Shizhong of Danzhou echo each other and rely on the trend of corners. As long as the stalemate continues, it is already a matter of time before the Jurchen is defeated, but at this time, it is really a little unwilling to have a decisive battle.

But now, the Jurchens have reached the hinterland of Hebei, and they can only be forced back by a decisive battle. Only the decisive battle was won, and the Jurchens were defeated and fled back to the north of the Great Wall, and if the Jurchens who went south did not come back to help in the war, they would become turtles in the urn. In this situation, most of the Jurchens who went south would return to Malay Youyan to fight the decisive battle they had always dreamed of.

Han Shizhong laughed, pouted and said: "You pass a word for me to go back, Shaozai wants to gather troops, Wanyan Zongwang also wants to gather troops and horses, instead of waiting for everyone to gather to fight to the death, it is better to take advantage of the fact that we are now one step ahead and launch an attack in advance." After Yan Zonghan's way, it is guaranteed that none of them will cross the defense line of Danzhou. I squeezed out another 350,000 people and sent Huyantong to help Shaozai fight. Zong Ze was reluctant to rely on Juyong Pass to defend it, and letting him gather troops was simply his life.

It's not that Han Shizhong doesn't serve Shaozai's strength, but in fact, it's too impulsive to gamble on a big gamble, if the hell loses, it's all over. It was Shaozai's gamble to help me quit, and this time Han Shizhong had the courage to help him quit. ”

When the generals heard this, they nodded one after another, Han Shizhong refused to gather all the soldiers and horses for a decisive battle, which was exactly what they wanted. Yang Lin was stimulated by the war report this time, and he was bent on how to pull back the group of jackals who went south to save the people of Hebei. In Han Shizhong's view, this is impulse, the military and civilians of Hebei are human lives, and these soldiers of our Youyan are also human beings, Han Shizhong's sloppy and uninhibited appearance is a pure general, and his vision of the battle situation is naturally different from Yang Lin.

The Jurchens went south to kill people and set fires, so what, the main force of the Jurchens is Youyan, and the center of gravity of the battle should always be Youyan. There are not many Jurchen soldiers and horses, no matter how powerful they are, they can still hit Bianliang? As long as Yang Lin attacks and defeats Wanyan Zongwang, who lacks the troops and horses that went south, then the situation will be even more favorable. Taking a step back, even if you lose a small decisive battle of this scale, the situation in Youyan will not jump.

The herald was stunned and said, "This... This is an order from Shaozai himself, Han Shuai..."

Han Shizhong stepped forward, hugged his shoulders, and said with a smile: "After you go back, just tell Shaozai, I, Han Shizhong, am not an ungrateful villain, and if you want to kill him after the battle, you will have to kill Shaozai with a word." But fighting a war is a war, and you really can't look ahead and act rashly, so let's just say that Han Wu told him a word, Ci is not in charge of the army! ”

The herald walked out of the big tent in a daze, rode on a fast horse and galloped back to Yizhou, which was a major event related to the battle situation.

Inside the big tent, the generals surrounded Han Shizhong and shouted nonsense.

Han Shizhong's face was gloomy, and he shouted angrily, and then he quieted down.

"Han Shuai, don't kill him..."

Han Shizhong's eyes flashed, and he sneered: "After the incident, Shaozai knew that I Han Wu's words, every word was made of gold. ”
