In the battle of Jingzhou, Zong Han was captured, and the Jurchen vanguard was annihilated, and the news spread, and the Central Plains was thunderous.

The chief of the Hebei Zhulu breathed a sigh of relief, and also began to send some soldiers and horses north from the towns they defended.

The happiest are the Han people in the North, who have been betrayed too many times, and the Central Plains Dynasty has been unable to shelter them for a long time.

Now that the imperial court has regained its strength, it has also gathered some of the people's hearts here, of course, it is still too early to say that it has completely made them come back to their hearts.

In Yanzhou City, Yang Lin looked at the battle report and was overjoyed.

The surrounding officials and generals were also happy and discussed with each other.

Yang Lin saw the end of the letter, Han Shizhong deliberately clicked on the matter of Hongjiazhai, and his heart moved.

The Han people in the north, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, have become an uncontrollable armed military town, and the Central Plains is in shambles.

Five generations later, after the Song people implemented the national policy of elevating the literati and suppressing the warriors, the Han people in the north were almost abandoned.

On their homes, rivers were dug up, floods were released, and huge trees were planted...

In fact, these Han Chinese were very warlike, and almost all the Mongolian nobles in the early Yuan Dynasty opposed Kublai Khan's policy of sinicization.

During Möngke's reign, Ali Buge was stationed in the capital of the Great Mongolian Kingdom, Hala Horin, and had always opposed Kublai Khan's policy of sinicization.

Ali Buge, who stayed in Mobei during Möngke Khan's personal conquest, tried his best to lure Kublai Khan back to the meadows so that he could force him to submit and ascend to the throne of the Great Khan in the name of righteousness.

The Mongol soldiers under Kublai Khan did not obey his command, and in desperation, Kublai Khan released a group of Han slaves, reorganized them into an army, and accepted many Han advisers to give him advice.

A miracle happened, the Mongol army, which was invincible in Europe and Asia, was beaten and discarded, and in this fierce civil war, Abuligo ended in a crushing defeat and was imprisoned to death.

Because of the strange policies of the Great Song Dynasty and the fact that they had fallen into foreign races for hundreds of years, the Han people in the north at this time were the most detached from morality, and it was time to regain the hearts of the people.

After reading the letter, Yang Lin pressed it on the table, and the civil and military officials who were celebrating loudly looked at it together.

Yang Lin coughed lightly, and was about to give an order, but outside Lu Qian strode in, his face was gloomy, and he walked close and whispered: "Shaozai, Yunnei war report." ”

Yang Lin took a look, and finished Yan Lou's room in Yehuling, winning three battles and three victories, defeating Yao Pingzhong, Yang Keshi, and Wang Yu in a row.

The Jurchen Western Route Army crossed the Aiqi River and approached the Broken Cloud Ridge, and Yao Pingzhong contracted his forces to defend in the area of Ulzhou.

Yang Lin twisted his eyebrows and pondered, the last time the Yunnei army was fought, it has not recovered until now.

Wanyan Lou is really the leader of the most evil generation of the Jurchen rising, a well-deserved god of war, looking at his achievements, even the history books are amazing.

The natural warriors of the Mongolian tribes were given to this fierce general, which greatly increased the pressure on the northwest.

The battle line was too long, traversing east and west, and it was impossible to sing triumphant songs everywhere. Yang Lin was already prepared in his heart, so he was not too shocked, and just poured a basin of cold water on everyone, so that after the victory of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers calmed down, they could face the decisive battle correctly.

He sighed and said, "We annihilated Wanyan Zonghan, but Yunnei suffered some defeats, and Wanyan Lou won three battles and three victories, and we reached Broken Cloud Ridge." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and then remembered the name Wanyan Lou Room.

The atmosphere of joy in the hall was condensed, and both civil and military officials bowed their heads and pondered, if Yunnei was lost, the Great Wall would lose its meaning.

The Tartars can attack from the Ulju bypass, and the good situation will return to zero. Everyone has started all over again, and without the Great Wall, even if you win, you will lose the goal of defending against the enemy.

Jingzhou and even Danzhou can be given up temporarily, because these two military prefectures have been built into complete military towns, and there are not many people.

If the war hits Hebei, the nature will change, and the country that has just been stabilized for a short time is afraid that someone will come out again to make trouble.

Under the strong pressure of Yang Lin in China, the old forces from all walks of life had to lurk and forbear, and even were forced to change.

However, once the country's military strength is used to deal with the Jurchens, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take advantage of the fire to rob, and when the time comes, it will become the situation of internal and external troubles in the late Ming Dynasty, which is the most difficult to clean up.

At this time, outside Yanzhou, more than a dozen horsemen galloped over, led by a military general, with a long beard under the chin, a thin body, and a dark complexion, and it was Zong Ze, the governor of the North Province.

Zong Zezhen guarded Juyong Pass, and there were no Jurchen Tartars to touch this hard bone, and in the first two Youyan wars, the Jurchens suffered in front of Juyong Pass.

Invested a lot of troops, but couldn't knock on this Xiongguan at all, Zong Ze searched for battle reports day and night in Juyong Pass, and held back his words, but he was at the same level as Han Shizhong and Yao Pingzhong, so he naturally couldn't command them.

Although Zong Ze was the official governor of the North Province and nominally governed the entire north, this was all intentional by Yang Lin at that time. Han Shizhong's official position is even more terrifying, so he will be the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of Hebei and the right Montenegro, and it stands to reason that he should command all the soldiers and horses. As for Yao Pingzhong, he is the governor of Yunnei...

Yang Lin was afraid that the power would be in the hands of one person, so he raised troops into Bianliang, where there were people who were loyal to the Zhao and Song royal families, and he would die without a place to be buried.

That's why three corps were formed, which were not subordinate to each other, but only obeyed their own orders and enjoyed full autonomy. In fact, the commanders of the three corps are all able to control the soldiers and horses under their respective commands.

Han Shizhong's people have all settled in Youyan, and behind them is their home; Zong Ze's soldiers were all recruited in Hebei when he was in charge of Hejian, and defending Juyong Pass was to avoid the flames of war from burning to Hebei; Yao Pingzhong's veteran Western Army, holding Yunnei, can also ensure that his hometown Qinlong is not affected by war.

So Yang Lin was very satisfied with this, but as soon as he encountered such a big battle, there was a problem of insufficient tacit understanding in scheduling. None of them want to focus on me, and no one wants to create opportunities for the other to cover up. Only Yang Lin can do it in person, and on the Jurchen side, it is the same reason for Wanyan Agu to fight the royal driving expedition.

Hearing that Yang Lin was coming, Zong Ze was overjoyed, and immediately rushed to Yanzhou with more than a dozen guards.

Seeing the smoke and dust rolling up from afar, the defenders of the Yanzhou city gate had already received the signal from the front and opened the city gate.

Zong Ze asked Yang Lin where he was, and walked away quickly, just as everyone was discussing the situation in the northwest.

"Shaozai!"

Yang Lin raised his head from the sand table and said with some confusion: "Why are you here?" Could it be that something happened to Juyongguan? ”

Zong Ze didn't have time to say hello, he had saved too much to say, and he couldn't even take care of etiquette for a while, so he started to speak while holding the sand table.

"In front of Juyong Pass, there is no half of the Tartar, but this place is too important, and the lower officials dare not let the soldiers and horses under their command leave lightly. I heard that Shaozai came to Yanzhou, so I came to make a speech. ”

Yang Lin waved his hand and motioned to his soldiers to move a stool for him, Zong Ze walked to the sand table, saw that it was the mountains and rivers in Yunnei, and asked, "Shaozai, something happened in Yunnei?" ”

"My three-way army has been defeated by Wanyan Lou Room and the Mongolian coalition army one after another, and Yao Pingzhong has retreated to Broken Cloud Ridge." Yang Lin said worriedly.

Fortunately, after finishing Yan Aguta, he chose to trust Zong Han this time, and led the army not to Yunnei, but to Youyan and storm the Great Wall.

Zong Ze came on horseback, his voice was a little hoarse, but he still stepped forward and said: "Shaozai, why bother to concentrate troops in Yunnei, the mountains and rivers here are steep, and the city is the best in the world." Whether it is Hongzhou or Datong, who can easily defeat it? ”

As soon as Yang Lin heard it, he knew that there was still something to follow, and stretched out his hand to signal him to continue.

"At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were rampant, and the siege of Baideng almost killed Gaozu. The Han family had to give gifts and offer money to their relatives in exchange for the Xiongnu not going south. By the time of Emperor Wu, Zhang Qian was sent to the Western Regions to contact the Xiongnu feud, and the army then fought bloodily for many years and won the Western Regions Protectorate. From then on, the northern alien tribes lost the opportunity to bypass the Great Wall and invade the Hetao in the south, and the Han army could attack the grassland from the Western Regions, surrounded on both sides, and killed the Xiongnu who did not dare to go south to release their horses. ”

"When it came to the Tang Dynasty, the defeat of the Turks was almost exactly the same as what the Han dynasty did. Only when I arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, the entire northwest, and the Western Regions, even the Hetao was lost. Therefore, in the past 100 years, the Great Song Dynasty has been bullied by others, and he has taken the initiative to send troops. ”

"Now that the Western Regions are in control, our soldiers are strong and strong, the grasslands are empty, and the Great Khan elected by the Mongols is not happy, only caring about the small profits in front of them, defecting to the Jurchens, and acting in embarrassment, what strength is there on the grassland to resist us?"

"It is better to unite with the Kereh people, from the Western Regions to the capital, through the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, send troops to the grassland, and support the Kereh Department to unify Mongolia. Then from the west to force the Jin country, we will fight out of the Great Wall, and deal with it, in this way, under the general trend, even if the people of the Lou family are brave, what is the use? ”
