"The million-strong army of the Jin people has already moved south and will soon cross the Huai River. Although the enemy army is outnumbered, we have been training for many years and are fully capable of fighting. Brothers, this time to the north, the opportunity is rare, as long as everyone works together, advance and retreat together, we will definitely establish unimaginable feats! ”

Yang Congyi, who came to the Liuqiu camp, quickly summoned all the generals and colonels of the elite army to gather to discuss matters.

"We can only go north this time with 3,000 people, and the others will stay in Liuqiu first, waiting for orders. Therefore, these 3,000 people must be selected, first of all, they must be willing and dare to go north to fight against the Jin, and secondly, they must have the ability to fight. Now, let's start with the selection of generals, and those who want to go to the north to fight and establish meritorious deeds will be listed! ”

Yang Congyi gave an order, and all the colonels got up and went out of the ranks.

"Excellent! It seems that everyone wants to go north to make contributions. I am afraid that the battle of Songjin will last for a long time, and when the situation in the north is clarified, it will not be too late for everyone to go north again. Yao Chang, you stay in the Liuqiu camp, temporarily lead the elite army to train and prepare for battle, wait for the order, and go north to support at any time. Luo Cong, you lead all the newly recruited escorts, battle formations and water battles, you must train every day, once the battle is scorched, the escorts will also have to go north. Su Zhong and Pan Cheng, each of you chooses two commanders, and after three days, go north with me! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Yao Chang, Luo Cong, Su Zhong, and Pan Cheng should be in unison.

Then, after Su Zhong and Pan Cheng selected the leading generals, Yang Congyi personally selected Xue Wang, who was very eager to go north, among the remaining elite army generals, and then ordered Xue Wang to pick the generals again.

After a long time, all the generals and colonels who commanded the six commanding forces were singled out, plus Su Zhong, Pan Cheng and others, a total of sixteen generals and colonels.

The generals and colonels in the north have been decided, and the generals and colonels will immediately return to the battalion to mobilize the soldiers, select soldiers, and make final preparations for going north to Mingzhou.

When everything in the military camp was arranged, Yang Congyi came to Liuqiu County, and he hadn't seen Yang Siniang for a long time.

"Siniang, I'm going to lead the army north, and I'll trouble you about the begging."

In the evening, after a fierce warmth, the two snuggled together and chatted about business.

"Husband, rest assured to go north, I have been begging for a long time, I am familiar with the Jingwu Army and the guards and soldiers, with me and Luo Cong and Yao Chang, there will be no chaos. If you need support in the north, send someone to send the news back, and I will personally lead someone north and advance and retreat with my husband! ”

While speaking, Yang Siniang seemed to have returned to the time when she was studying in martial arts.

"Well, it's really necessary, let's fight together! However, I hope that there will not be a day when you are begging for logistics to support the front line. ”

"Siniang listens to her husband's arrangement, and I am begging for your news."

After chatting for a long time, the two ignited a different kind of affection, and then a fierce battle.

For many years, Yang Siniang has been begging alone, and this time, Yang Congyi really wanted her to give birth to a son and a half daughter and be a companion for her.

The two have a tacit understanding in their hearts, and they act like a fish in water.

But whether you can have children or not, sometimes it depends on luck, you can only do your best and obey the destiny of God.

A few days later, Yang Congyi led more than 50 warships, sea ships and a full 3,000 selected elite soldiers to set off from Liuqiu and sail north.

Chin Island, the northern base of the Hui Yi fleet.

"Lord Shen, there is news from Yidu Mansion that the Jin people have moved south, and the troops will be divided into four roads in July, of which the west road and the middle road will take the lead in attacking, attacking Sichuan, Shaanxi, Xiangyang, and Xinyang, and the east road has Wan Yan Liang personally commanded, it is estimated that he has reached the Huai River area at this time, and the naval army that wants to drive Lin'an directly from the sea is still in Mizhou, and it is estimated that he is waiting for the north wind."

The Jingwu army spies who returned from Yidu Mansion reported the news about the Jin army they brought back to Shen Jin, who was in charge of Chin Island.

On the same day, Yang Congyi told him that once the Jin people arrived in the Huai River area, they would immediately instigate the Wanyan Yong uprising in Liaoyang, and the rear of the Jin Kingdom would not be chaotic, and even if the Yangtze River was in danger, it would be difficult to stop the Jin people.

"Have the letters to the commanders of the armies been delivered?"

"The letter was already sent to the armies in the south at the beginning of August, and we really can't guarantee whether it will be delivered to the generals of the unified army. The people who went south behind were all real Jin people, and there were basically no Han people in them. ”

Shen Jin was silent, he imitated the name of Yan Yong, who stayed in Liaoyang, and issued edicts to all the armies that went south to support him from August, asking them to go to Liaoyang together and conspire with each other, how many people would believe it, he had no confidence.

Ready to fly, have to send!

After learning the news that Yan Liang led his army south to the Huai River, Shen Jin immediately set off, and he wanted to go to Yidu Mansion in person.

A few days later, Shen Jin disguised himself as a merchant and entered Yidu Mansion with several retinues.

Over the years, due to the frequent contacts with several restaurants and several big businessmen in Yidu Fu, and the relationship with them is very good, it is also very convenient to listen to the news, and there is basically no difficulty.

Just a few days after Shen Jin entered Yidu Mansion, he heard a news that Wan Yanliang ordered all the state capitals on Shandong Road to immediately recruit soldiers, and each state and each government should not be less than 2,000 people, and the troops stationed in each state capital should leave the necessary guards, and the rest should all go south to join the imperial army, and those who violated the order will be severely punished.

And the officials of the state capitals who received this order were anxious, because they had already been conscripted many times before, and there were few young people, cattle and horses left in various places, almost all of them went south, where could they still recruit 2,000 people?

This is undoubtedly another draconian order.

The 2,000 defenders of Yidu Mansion have been ordered to go south, and there are not many young and strong people in nearby prefectures and counties to deploy, so they have to forcibly recruit the old and weak, indiscriminately fill the numbers, and barely complete Yan Liang's conscription order.

Even the business of several restaurants in Yidu Mansion that had business dealings with Shen Jin became more and more dismal because of this order, because more than half of the guys in their restaurants were recruited away, and several shopkeepers also had bitter words.

The situation of the prefectures and prefectures is not much better than that of Yidu Prefecture, it is estimated that they are all barely supported, whether they can complete the task, it is difficult to say, I heard that there is a lot of resentment in various places.

So many edicts were issued, a month has passed, and there is still no news, Shen Jin is very anxious, if no one responds, how can he say that Yan Yong is finished?

Hearing the news of the forced conscription of young and strong troops and the southward march of the defending army, Shen Jin decided to personally try his luck on the road that the armies must go south through.

The next day, Shen Jin and the others pretended to be the Jin army who went south to support, rode fast horses, and went all the way to Jinan Mansion.

A few days later, the group arrived near Jinan Mansion.

Seeing that the young men and troops gathered from all over the city, after a little arrangement in the south of the city, they went south one by one in units of 10,000 people, and the person stationed in Jinan Mansion to preside over this matter was the servant of the household department of the Jin State, who was regarded as Wan Yanliang's henchman, and instigated the army to rebel under his nose, which was too dangerous.

Seeing this, Shen Jin had to continue south.

A day later, when he arrived at the Tai'an army more than 100 miles south of Jinan Prefecture, ten miles north of the city, he saw an army resting here, which should be a regular army formed by the army defending the city.

Because he didn't know the origin of the other party, Shen Jin didn't send someone to rush forward and defect, and planned to follow and observe for two days first, and find out some news by the way.

Who knows, that army rested in place for a day, and it had no intention of pulling out the camp and going south.

It stands to reason that they have just gone south from Jinan Mansion, and so far they have only marched more than a hundred miles, and almost everyone has horses, so why do they need to rest for so long and lag behind, there must be a hidden secret!

Realizing this problem, Shen Jin decided to take a risk.

So he personally brought people to the front of this army camp, told the guards at the gate of the camp that he had important military information to report to the commander-in-chief, and handed over a sealed letter to the guards after speaking.

Two quarters of an hour later, a general came out of the camp, and after saying that General Yan wanted to meet them in person, he brought Shen Jin and the others into the camp.

When I came to the tent of the marshal camp, I saw a forty or fifty-year-old general sitting in the tent with a letter in his hand.

Shen Jin hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and shouted in his mouth: "The last general, Li Jing, has seen General Wanyan!" ”

The commander waved his hand, and most of the guards withdrew from the tent, leaving only two burly soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, standing on both sides of the tent, watching Shen Jin.

"You sent this letter?" The boss raised the piece of paper in his hand.

"Exactly." Shen Jin replied respectfully.

"Do you know the contents of the letter?"

"Yes."

"Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you and hand you over to the court to receive merit and ask for a reward?" The coach's face changed, and his tone became stern.

Shen Jin suddenly smiled and said: "The exploit of catching me as a nobody, how can it be compared with the position of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, the general is a smart person, and he will not fail to understand this simple truth!" ”

"Oh, is it? What if I tell the court about the people behind the scenes? The coach's face remained unchanged, but his tone changed, a little less stern and a little more threatening.

"This feat, it is not the turn of the general, the imperial court has already sent someone there to guard it. Tell the general the truth, if you hand over this letter to the imperial court, not only will you not get any reward, but I am afraid that you will also be killed, because if you read the letter, who will believe that you have no different intentions? Shen Jin was fearless.

"What if I give you to the court with this letter?" The manager continued to apply pressure.

"The general won't."

"How do you know I won't?"

"If the general is loyal to the imperial court, he will not lag behind, and if the imperial court trusts the general, he will not let the general lead the army behind, suffer all the bumps, but he will not get any meritorious service!" Shen Jin smiled.

"What do you mean by that? Why can't I get half of the merit? The boss frowned slightly.

"As far as I know, the imperial court has commanded a million troops to go south, at this time I am afraid that it has approached the Huai River, and the general has just received an order to go south, and when the general arrives with his troops, I am afraid that the battle has been over, all you can do is clean up the battlefield, take people to look at the young men recruited from all over the country, and collect the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle, what merit can this have? If something goes wrong in the middle of the rush of young people, the general's guilt is not light, and if he is busy, I am afraid that in the end, not only will he not be promoted, but he will also have to be punished! ”
