After Yang Congyi finished speaking, the generals who were originally elated suddenly looked gloomy and did not dare to say more.

It was supposed to be a complete victory, but in the end, because some generals wanted to grab credit, it led to needless sacrifices, and some soldiers were killed in vain, and a victory could not cover up these mistakes.

"My lord, what are we going to do next?" Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a little frozen, Pan Cheng, as an old senior, hurriedly tried to find a way to change the topic.

Yang Congyi glanced at Pan Cheng, and replied after a while: "We are in Juye, the north is the Yellow River, we can't venture in, the west of Xingren Mansion is Bianjing, and we can't easily approach, the south is the Guide Mansion where the Jin people are heavily garrisoned, and there are still 30,000 or 40,000 Jin troops in Jeju in the east." It can be said that after this battle, we have been exposed to the eyes of the Jin people, and the Jin people must be able to guess that Suzhou has not many troops. If we fail to do something to annihilate the Jeju Kim army and contain the Guidek Kim army, we will be attacked on all sides and will be defeated in less than a month. ”

After a slight pause, he glanced at everyone, and then continued: "There are three ways for us to crack the problem, one is to send an army to garrison Jiaxiang to prevent the Jeju Jin army from advancing westward, block them to the east of Dayozawa, and force them to go north to Tai'an and Jinan, or stay in Jeju City, of course, if they can't cross Onozawa and return to Juye and Xingren Mansion to the west, and finally after the grain and grass are cut off, they will still go north to Tai'an or Jinan Mansion and garrison Jiaxiang, and it will be a tough battle." The second is to hold Xingren Mansion, this place is the gateway to the east of Bianjing, Xingren Mansion is lost, the Jin army will definitely attack with all its strength, but as long as we firmly occupy Xingren Mansion, we can threaten Bianjing, and the heavy troops stationed in the south of Guide Mansion will not dare to move lightly. The third is to send troops to seize the counties around Guide, cut off the way for Guide to connect with the Jin army in the north and east, and at the same time put pressure on the garrison of Guide, so that they do not dare to easily send troops to attack Suzhou and cut off our back road. ”

"My lord, our troops are limited, and if our troops are divided into multiple routes, I am afraid it will not be conducive to defense." Pan Cheng had doubts.

Yang Congyi said: "After the defenders sent to Jiaxiang exterminate the Jeju Jin army, they can return to Xingren Mansion when the Xuzhou defenders go north." Then, we and Bozhou, Suzhou north and south attack, joint attack of Defu, after the take, Suzhou garrison moved to Defu, and Xingren Mansion a south and a north, mutual coordination, Bianjing defenders will not dare to attack any of the provinces, and finally can form a confrontation situation, to wait for the imperial court to send reinforcements, it can be expected! ”

"My lord, there are 30,000 or 40,000 Jin troops in Jeju, we can only block them in Jiaxiang and stop them from advancing westward, where can we have the ability to annihilate them? Even if they retreat north to Tai'an and Jinan Mansions, after a detour, they will soon attack Juye and Xingren Mansions in the south, and at that time, I am afraid that we will only be entangled with each other, and we will not be able to go south to threaten Guide Mansion. Pan Cheng heard the flaw in Yang Congyi's words, hesitated again and again, and finally mentioned it in public.

When the generals heard this, they immediately felt that this was the truth, Jeju still had 30,000 or 40,000 gold troops, even if they could not go west from Jiaxiang and go north to Tai'an and Jinan, and after a detour, they could also go south to Juye and Xingren.

I only listened to Yang Congyi explain: "The summer flood of the Yellow River has come, once the Jeju Jin army goes north, it will inevitably be blocked by the Yellow River, and when the summer flood disappears for two months, there will be an autumn flood soon, as long as the Jeju Jin army goes north, within three months, don't think about returning to Xingren Mansion safely." In three months, we will be able to take the Guide Mansion, and by then the reinforcements sent by the imperial court will have already arrived, and we are still worried about what they will do. ”

"What if the Jeju Jin army did not cross the Yellow River after going north, but turned west from the south bank of the Yellow River?" The Commander immediately put forward his own views.

Yang Congyi shook his head and said, "There is no such possibility. The Yellow River had been diverted a few years ago, flowing eastward through Liangshan County into Ōnoze, from Ōnoze into Xuzhou, then into the Huai River via Su, and then eastward into the sea. Once the Jeju Jin army left Jeju and headed north, even if the economy crossed Jesu in the south and then moved westward, it would not be possible to return to Juye or Heungin Province within three months. As long as Jiaxiang is held and Dayozaki is blocked, the Jeju Jin army can only abandon the city and go north, and by then wait for the Jiaxiang defenders to come to help, and there will be no danger in Heungin and Suzhou. ”

"My lord, since it is very important to force the Jeju Jin Army to go north, it is important to garrison Jiaxiang!" Pan Cheng got up and asked.

"It's better for you to go. Give you 15,000 troops to garrison Jiaxiang, be sure to block the Jeju Jin army east of Dayozawa, and when the summer flood strengthens and the Yellow River rises, the Jin army will not be able to cross westward, and then you can lead the army back to Heunginfu. "The candidate in Yang Congyi's heart to guard Jiaxiang is Pan Cheng, so he didn't hesitate at all.

"Understood!" Pan Cheng took the order.

"The rest of the men and horses will immediately go west to Xingren Mansion to rest, and after three days, they will send another mission!"

"Yes, sir!"

Yang Congyi is the commander of the Suzhou army, and he knows the battlefield situation well, so the commanders will naturally not have too many objections to his arrangement.

For them, as long as they listen to commands, can win battles, can get rewards and meritorious deeds, and participate in military affairs, they are not too interested.

The army gathered in Juye moved quickly, and Pan Cheng led 15,000 men to the east, occupied Jiaxiang again, and intercepted the only land passage for the Jeju Jin army to retreat to Juye and Heungin, while the remaining 20,000 troops arrived in Heungin a day later.

In the afternoon of the same day, Xu Tong was left behind in Xingren Mansion, and he personally led a group of officials from the Left-behind Mansion to go out of the east gate to welcome Yang Congyi, the commander of the Song army in Suzhou, into the city.

After the meeting, Xu Tong immediately presented the Great Seal of Xingren Mansion to show his attachment to the Song court.

Yang Congyi took the big seal in his hand, and then returned it to Xu Tong as it was, and told him that since the Xingren Mansion was intact and returned to the Great Song Dynasty, it was naturally most appropriate for Xu Tong to stay behind.

Xu Tong then went south, bowed, and shouted long live.

The Suzhou army entered the city on the same day.

In fact, before today, after Yuan Hua led the army into the city, Xu Tong had already expressed his intention to hand over the seal of the left-behind mansion, although Yuan Hua was the commander of the former army, but he did not dare to call the shots, so he told Xu Tong that he would discuss it when Lord Yang came to control the Suzhou capital.

Seeing that the Xingrenfu Righteous Army, including Chen Chong, Wang Hao and others, all took refuge in the Song Army led by Yuan Hua, Xu Tong did not know much about the Song Army, and he was really worried for several days.

It wasn't until he saw Yang Congyi, handed in the seal, and then regained the big seal, that Xu Tong felt a little at ease.

That night, the meeting will be discussed, and Xu Tong will attend on behalf of the left-behind mansion.

"Yuan Hua, you can tell you about the current deployment of the Jin Army around Xingren Mansion." Yang Congyi is in the middle, Xu Tong and Yuan Hua are on the left and right, and the generals are on the left and right.

I only listened to Yuan Hua said: "After entering Xingren Mansion on the fourth day of the seventh month, I sent people to investigate and basically find out the deployment of the Jin people's troops around Xingren Mansion and Bianjing. After the Xingren Mansion announced the uprising, the garrison of Jiyang County in the west increased to 20,000, of which 5,000 Jin troops went east and were stationed in Nanzhang Town, a hundred miles away, and Dongming County in the northwest increased to 10,000 within a few days, and Cao County in the south originally garrisoned 2,000, Xingrenfu rebelled, and the garrison increased to 5,000, and after we led the army north, the strength has increased to 20,000, but I suspect that the Jin army is bluffing, and Cao County cannot have so many garrisons. Generally speaking, there are not many Jin troops around Xingren Mansion, especially after the adults personally led the army into Xingren Mansion, our strength here has reached more than 35,000 people, and it is impossible to break through the city without three times the strength! ”

"Okay, around Xingren Mansion, everyone knows the deployment of the Jin army, before our army entered the city, the Bianjing direction only regarded this place as an ordinary uprising, and did not pay special attention to it, so far no army has been sent to quell the rebellion. But after we settle in, the situation will soon change, and the direction of Bianjing may send a large army, not 12,000, but 50,000, 100,000, maybe even 200,000, and then we will face a bitter battle. ”

After Yang Congyi finished speaking, he sorted out his thoughts a little, and then said: "But I heard that there is a bigger rebellion in the north of the Jin Kingdom, and the north of Yanjing is occupied by rebel forces, and most of Wan Yanliang's troops are contained by the northern rebels, and for a while, there are not many troops to deal with other small rebellions." Is that so, Lord Xu? ”

Discussing military affairs, Xu Tong originally thought that there was nothing wrong with him, but when he heard the roll call, he hurriedly replied: "That's true." Liaoyang stayed in the sixth year of Zhenglong in October, that is, the thirty-first year of Shaoxing, after Yan Liang led the army to invade the south, when the northern army was empty, he publicly started an incident in Liaoyang and announced that he would ascend the throne and claim the emperor. Because Wan Yan Yong is also the grandson of Jin Taizu Wan Yan Aguta, within a few months, the northern states and the grasslands of a large and small tribe have attached Wan Yan Yong, his power has increased greatly, with more than 200,000 troops, in one fell swoop to occupy Yanjing, intending to go south to Hejian Mansion and Zhending Mansion, after Wan Yan Liang retreated from the Yangtze River, he gathered 300,000 troops to go north to Zhending and Hejian Mansion. In the past, the number of troops around Bianjing should have been less than 200,000, but for more than a year, strong men have been forcibly recruited many times to replenish the troops, and now the total number of troops will not exceed 300,000. ”

"300,000 troops, there are many places to be stationed, Jeju, Xingrenfu, Guide, Chenzhou, Yuncheng, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Ruzhou, Zhengzhou, Xingrenfu 50,000 troops rushed to Jeju before, they can't come back, the 50,000 troops of Guide Mansion dare not move lightly, these two prefectures went to 100,000 troops, other states except Zhengzhou, are bordered by the Great Song Dynasty, it is impossible not to send a large army to garrison, and the garrisons in various places cannot be moved lightly, so in a short period of time, Wanyan Liang can not mobilize many troops to besiege Xingrenfu, Unless he defeated the rebellion of Wanyan Yong in Liaoyang in the north. ”

After Yang Congyi put some pressure on the generals, he immediately pulled Xu Tong to relieve the pressure for the generals, so that they could always be vigilant, and they would not be intimidated by difficulties and crushed by pressure.

"Lord Xu, how much grain and grass is there in the treasury of the city? Do the people have surplus food, and can they buy it? Yang Congyi suddenly turned his head and asked again.

"There were originally 50,000 quintals of grain stored in the city, and the people also had some grain in stock, so it shouldn't be a problem to buy it with money." Xu Tong hesitated slightly.
