After Bazhou and Yizhou arrived, the Great Song army marched step by step, building fortifications while advancing, and there was no obstacle along the way.

At such a fast speed, the Song army approached Zhuozhou, Han Shizhong personally led 100,000 main Western troops on the left flank, Zong Ze led 50,000 slightly weaker Hebei army horses on the right flank, and the Shengjie army was the rear army, setting up a big formation.

The light cavalry sentinels of the Song army from all walks of life even crossed the Gaoliang River and arrogantly spied on the periphery of the Jinliao battlefield. This is now the place of the four wars, and everyone's purpose is very clear, no one wants to hide it, that is, to take Youyan and hold the initiative of future war and peace in their hands.

Skirmishes are not uncommon, and it is not uncommon for sentries between Song and Jin to meet and shoot two arrows at each other. But large-scale encounters have not yet happened, and the Jurchens are not very arrogant now, and it is rare to maintain a trace of restraint.

The Khitan guards in Zhuozhou City are the henchmen of Yeluchun, the king of Yan, and this guy cannot surrender at all.

And Zhuozhou is not an ordinary place, here is an important town of Yandi, called Fanyang in the Tang Dynasty, it is a famous military town.

If it weren't for the fact that it was a little far away from Yanjing City, and there were five rivers and canals to block it, Yeluchun would definitely not have taken away most of the defenders.

Yang Lin sent people several times to contact Xiao Gan in Zhuozhou City, but he was expelled by him. Xiao Gan is the king of the six tribes of the Xi nationality and the general manager of the East Road, and the king of the Xi people.

Xi people are Xianbei transliteration, which means "sand" in Mongolian today, and is the same race as the Khitan.

In the Khitan country, the Xi people have always occupied a lot of power, and the earliest Xi people's military strength was on a par with the Khitan, and sometimes it was slightly exceeded, and it was called the "two goodness" in the northeast by the Tang Dynasty. It turned out that the Xi people, who were "good at war with the Khitan", started to oppose the Tang Dynasty in 847 with a hot head, and were completely interrupted by being pressed to the ground.

Later, the Khitan came out with a Yelu Abaoji, and the Xi tribe did not dare to resist several times, so they had to surrender, and the Xi tribe completely lost its independent status and became a tribe under the rule of the Khitan aristocracy.

But after all, the Xi people are a big family, and after that, the Khitan nobles took "Fu his account department, and he was intended to be in the country"; The Xi Zhong under the command of the Xi Wangfu and the Khitan Fifth Academy, the Sixth Academy, and the B Department are listed as the four major departments; The Xi Five royal family was allowed to "marry the Liao people."

Xiao Gan is now the guard general of Zhuozhou, and his status is no less than Yelu Dashi, second only to Yelu Chun. There are also taunting soldiers under his hands, who follow him with all their hearts, and naturally they don't want to surrender early. The rivers and mountains of this great Liao are about to be shattered, heroes from all walks of life have appeared one after another, and the Jurchens, who are only less than 20,000 soldiers, dare to raise troops against Liao.

The Xi people now occupy a large state, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, why can't they take advantage of the situation. Xiao Gan didn't think about the fate of the Bohai people, he just wanted to restore the kingdom of the Xi people and establish the country of the Xi people in this ancient land.

Yang Lin and Chen Bing are outside the city of Zhuozhou, there is no meaning of coercion, let you Xiao Gan see, Lao Tzu's soldiers are strong and strong, and not surrendering is a dead end. Gao Shank has already arrived in Rongzhou, as long as Rongzhou is taken by him, Zhuozhou will be completely encircled, and when the time comes, it depends on how you toss, it is just a trapped beast.

Unlike Xi Wang Xiao Gan, the local heroes are people who know the times, and their strength cannot support them to have undesirable ambitions, Yang Lin led the troops to join them one after another, they have the bottom of their hearts, they have already contacted the commander of the Song army, and obtained the promise that they will be protected.

Sure enough, after the Song army entered Yandi, they did not commit any offense against Qiu, who had already been contacted, and took great care of them.

can have so many people to vote, Yang Lin's identity has helped him a lot, first of all, this is not a general, he is a young ruler of the dynasty.

If this person is only a military general, even if he is the commander of the Northern Expedition, these people do not trust him, because the military general cannot be the master of the imperial court.

Whether the military generals agreed to their own conditions or not can be implemented is a question mark. But it was different when he was a young man, this was a top civil official in the Song court, and the weight of his words was naturally heavier.

Yang Lin did not stay in Bazhou City, but ignored everyone's opposition and personally came to the military camp outside the city.

The commander-in-chief of the three armies, at this time, it is necessary to take a reassuring pill for Yan Di Haoqiang. Tell them plainly that I, Yang Lin, am not a shrunken person, and the Great Song Dynasty military horses are not afraid to fight with anyone.

Nowadays, the Jurchens are like a rainbow, and many people have the idea of founding the country and a nobleman to defect to the unstoppable Jurchen army.

Just near the border of the Song Dynasty, there were many heroes who were unwilling to defect to the Great Song Dynasty, but it is conceivable that north of Yanjing, more people still choose to believe in the Jin Kingdom, which has a strong army and a strong record.

The more this is the case, the more generous Yang Lin treats those who defect to the Great Song Dynasty, often with great courtesy.

It just rained lightly last night, Liao Qiao was cold, and a touch of light sun sprinkled on people, without the slightest warmth, it was still cold.

Yang Lin was wearing a blue and rusty gold jade belt official uniform, which not only showed his identity, but also reassured these heroes who came to defect.

The place where the army was stationed, a horse and a flat river, more than 100 majestic brocade guards at the gate of the camp, standing with swords.

Yang Lin held a banquet in the camp to entertain the heroes from all walks of life who came to vote, and also let them get to know the generals of the Great Song Dynasty.

For a long time to come, it is bound to be bloody battles one after another on their native territory, unless the Jurchens who are working hard suddenly withdraw their troops, otherwise the competition between the two sides will not stop.

Yang Lin and even the entire Great Song Dynasty are bound to win the land of Youyan, and they will definitely not retreat this time.

That is, there is still a Yeluchun, sandwiched between the two powerhouses, which can be regarded as a buffer.

As soon as Yeluchun and his Khitan soldiers and horses were defeated, it was a confrontation between Song and Jin, soldier against soldier, and general against general.

In the tent next door, groups of guards wearing various colors of armor escorted their respective masters out, and they all came to Yang Lin to salute.

Yang Lin smiled and greeted them one by one, nothing more than asking some people about Yandi, saying a few words about being abroad and working hard.

At the beginning of the feast, Yang Lin seemed to be a little absent-minded and kept looking. Everyone didn't know why, and they didn't dare to ask, after all, they had only known each other for a long time.

Although the person in front of him is young, he is already a top civil official in the Great Song Dynasty, and everyone will have a foothold in the Great Song Dynasty in the future, this is a natural thigh, and he must take the opportunity to hold the porcelain.

Otherwise, when he goes back to Bianliang, where will he have the opportunity to easily see Shaozai in these local gentry.

In the barracks outside the big tent, the two long tables were separated from each other, with some wine and glasses on them, and some stools next to them.

After everyone was seated, every two creeps carried a sheep and filled the strips.

Yang Lin said with a smile: "Come, it's not very convenient in the army, when you come to Bianliang in the coming day, I invite you to taste the flavor of your homeland, this time it will be one, please use it." ”

Everyone took a knife to cut meat and eat it, until there were some alien demeanors, and the so-called division of the command was such a scene.

The newcomers are not very familiar with Yang Lin, but they have occasionally heard some interesting stories about him.

After eating for a while, they slowly discovered that this young man's shelf is actually not big, and he looks scary but is actually quite kind, without that feeling of being on top, and occasionally makes a few vulgar jokes, which is even more approachable.

Everyone slowly let go and said some words of loyalty, and some inevitably brought loyalty to Yang Lin personally, without this, he did not scold, but just smiled and added, "Mainly for the official family, for the Great Song Dynasty".

When the wine was hot, suddenly a drum beat and a whining horn sounded, and on this flat and wide land, it was exceptionally loud and far away.

Everyone was shocked, knocking over a lot of wine glasses and wine jars, Yang Lin stood up and said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, Zhuozhou refuses to surrender, resists the heavenly soldiers, and today take advantage of the wine and follow me to see the soldiers fight Zhuozhou." ”
