Under the city of Yizhou, in a restaurant near the city wall that was temporarily requisitioned, tables, chairs and benches were all emptied, and a large sand table was placed in the middle.

Yang Lin and more than a dozen guards around Yizhou, pointing around the sand table, this time Hand Youyan is not giving up an inch of land, there are small-scale encounters almost everywhere, the number of casualties on each other is increasing, and each has its own victory and defeat.

Yang Lin glanced around, all the generals present were a little tired, in order to encourage people, he pretended to smile relaxedly: "As soon as we meet, we will fight for our lives, this battle will cause great losses, but you should not be afraid of it." We have a lot of losses, and so do the Tartars, and behind us is the Great Song Dynasty, and they are just a small tribe in a small mountain nest. We have tens of millions of Han family children, and they have tens of thousands of casualties, and the Khitan people behind them dare to rebel against them. You remember, we are not afraid of a protracted war, and no foreign state can fight a protracted war with our Han dynasty, and they do not have our background. ”

When the generals heard this, their spirits perked up, this battle was indeed a bit cruel, but Shaozai said that it seemed to be really reasonable. After such a protracted battle, the Great Song Dynasty's own hematopoietic function was far stronger than that of the Jurchens. Their elite soldiers are really dying too much, and how to suppress the Khitan men in the vast land that has just been conquered behind them. You know, the Khitan is also known as a warrior on horseback, not a group of lambs.

Soldiers, population, money and food... These endless additions were enough to make Youyan a quagmire of the Jurchen War, trapping them here.

The generals exchanged heads and ears, and when they were a little excited, a small soldier came in, hugged his fists and said: "Shaozai, the news from the front sentry has come that a large number of enemy troops have gathered and left Taining Mountain and gone south." ”

Yang Lin and all the generals made a move, gathered around the sand table, and looked at the eyes, all of them were silent.

"The Tartars are going down to the east of the river!" Wu Jue exclaimed.

"They have come from afar to fight, but no grain or grass has arrived, and we have been fortified and cleared, and their supplies should be difficult to support them in the southward invasion. From this point of view, there is only one possibility for this golden soldier to go south, which is to go to the place east of the river that has not been warn, and loot grain and grass supplies. ”

"That's true."

...

Yang Lin nodded frequently and said with a smile: "It's okay, the imperial court has sent 200,000 Jingying forbidden troops, plus the soldiers and horses of the state capitals in Hedong, the strength is already ten times that of the enemy." Cai You... Haha, although the war is not very good, I wrote a letter to teach him what to do. It's nothing more than a strong wall and a clear field, sticking to the fortress city, once it is found that a small Jurchen force is alone, it will come out from the city to fight and besiege it, haha. ”

Yang Lin was really happy, the Jurchens divided their troops to the south, indicating that they could no longer support it. It must be that the food in the army has reached the point where it is stretched, otherwise the war here is so stalemate, and the Jurchen forces are not left at all, and they will definitely not divide their troops to the south.

There was a burst of laughter in the tent, and it had become a joke that Cai You led the troops, but he was not in the daimyo's mansion. The generals of Youyan waited for the 200,000 reinforcements that the court said, and when the flowers were gone, they didn't see a single figure.

Now that the Jurchens have come to the door by themselves, they can be regarded as these 200,000 friendly troops, sharing some pressure on themselves. Thinking of what Shaozai just said, the Jurchens can't afford to delay, and now it seems that there are signs of not being able to drag it out.

Although the war will still be brutal and bloody, the signs of hope are already there, and they are showing a growing trend. These generals only need to grit their teeth and drag it for another month, and they will eventually drag this group of ferocious barbarians to death on the land of Youyan.

Yang Lin was in a good mood, rolled up his sleeves, and said loudly: "Take a pen and paper, I will personally write a letter to our little Cai Xianggong, and teach him how to fight!" He only needs to grab the medicine according to the prescription, this handful of Jurchen diseases, keep it until the disease is removed, haha. ”

After laying out the pen and paper, Yang Lin splashed ink and wrote in great detail.

I just wanted my subordinates to pack and take it away, but after thinking about it, Cai You is a good mallet. Although this matter is simple and clear, I am afraid that he has other ideas.

Yang Lin sighed, threw the letter aside, and reworded one. This one still has the same content, but the words are very polite, and some of them even carry Cai You. No matter how much I look down on him in my heart, I still coax him to fight this battle first. No matter what method Cai You used, he was always the direct commander of the 200,000 Beijing Camp Forbidden Army, Yang Lin had no way to change generals, he could only coax him, show him the way, and use military skills to induce, so that this person could do his job well.

All this is under the noses of the generals, and everyone can't help but secretly admire, the identity of the young master is so noble, and he is almost equal to Cai You and his father, and for the sake of military affairs, he has to break the knot to curry favor with Cai You, and it is really a public heart.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the outskirts of the ancient city of Wangdu, and the corpses everywhere made the stench of the sky for ten miles, and there were faint bursts of heart-rending wails from the broken city gates.

After the Jurchen ravage, the city was like a purgatory on earth, and the blood stained the rivers in the red city.

Shortly after the Jurchen Tartars left, they didn't even have time to loot the city clean, which also saved half of the people in the city.

Wanyan Xiyin rode on the horse, and there was no longer the caution and worry when he went out, and happiness came too suddenly, making him feel as if he was dreaming.

His own soldiers and horses originally planned to avoid the main force of the Song army in Hedong, loot some villages and towns in the cracks, gather grain and grass and transport them back to Yizhou, and continue to fight to the death in Youyan and the Song army.

The result was beyond everyone's expectations.

At the beginning of August, Wanyan Xiyin crossed the Xushui River, and the defenders of Baozhou could not hold out. The Jurchen soldiers scattered here, raiding the surrounding villages and towns and collecting food.

After less than three days of fighting, Cai You, who was far away in the Daimyo's mansion, sent people to angrily denounce the incompetence of the Baozhou military generals, and Cai You, who was already dissatisfied with the bribery of the Baozhou civil and military officials, let his domestic slaves whip Zhang Yan, the training envoy of the Baozhou regiment, in the city, and forced them to go out of the city to fight, otherwise they would be punished for the crime of fear of war and fear of the enemy.

The defenders of Baozhou are only a box army, hoeing the land on weekdays are not as strong as the farmers, Baozhou regimental training made Zhang Yan see that the city is dead, not out of the city is also death, desperate to raise a knife to kill himself, Baozhou regimental training deputy envoy Wang Hui hated Cai You, with Zhang Yan's henchmen to join the Jin army.

Wanyan Xiyin was overjoyed and personally welcomed them into the camp, and treated them with great courtesy. It was also a loss that Wanyan Xiyin, who was willing to put down his body to meet the surrender of the enemy, so that the gang of traitors in Baozhou was desperate and volunteered to open the gate of Lewangdu.

The Jurchens fought in Youyan for more than a month, and it was difficult to get an inch of land, and they fought fiercely every day. But when I entered Hebei, it was like a bamboo. In just seven days, two cities were connected.

Cai You panicked, but he himself did not dare to risk the arrow stone and come to the place of confrontation in front of him. So he sent an army of 200,000 under his command to move forward together, and he wanted to use the numerical advantage to defeat the Jurchens. As for the letter that Yang Lin gave him, it had already been sent to Bianliang by Xiao Cai overnight. He and Liang Shicheng had long conspired to kill Yang Lin and eradicate this political enemy in the court.

On the land of Hebei, an army that did not belong to each other and did not have a commander rushed to the Baoding area in a chaotic manner.

These soldiers and horses were all equal to each other, and there was no army of 200,000 people who could march and fight in tacit agreement without a commander.

God, shake it.
