After dawn, the eastern sea showed its glow, and the sky dawned.

At the end of the day, the battlefield is cleared, and the former army will gather to discuss the matter.

Yang Congyi was the first to report the results of the battle: "Last night, in the first battle, we destroyed 9,737 enemy troops on the shore, captured 176 people, captured 79 enemy ships, destroyed 31 enemy ships in the river, and the enemy army fell into the water and drowned. The results of this battle have been reported to the Marshal's Mansion, and when the situation is a little stable, we will appreciate the merits. ”

The general results of the battle, all the commanders knew that they had wiped out all the enemy troops in front of their positions anyway, but they were still very excited to hear that nearly 10,000 enemies were destroyed in the first battle last night, after all, they had never won such a big battle with the enemy from the Huai River to the Yangtze River.

Seeing that everyone was in high spirits and fluttering, Yang Congyi said again: "Last night's battle, it is very likely that it was just a rehearsal before the enemy crossed the river in a big way, we won, we won because we were prepared, and the enemy was not prepared, if the enemy army did not cross the river at night, but forcibly crossed the river during the day, can we still win so easily?" You should think carefully about this question, where we will win, and where will the enemy lose! ”

"Also, we are only a small victory, hundreds of thousands of enemy troops are still eyeing the other side, it is possible to cross the river at any time, and it is impossible to rely only on the naval army to defend the Zhenjiang River, nor can it only rely on the naval army, you should not be careless, thinking that there are naval warships in front of you, you can rest assured that you can sleep well, the enemy will bypass the defense line in the middle of the river, and directly attack the defense line on the river bank, and even the rear city. I just got the news that at the same time as the enemy sneak attack on the ferry and the camp of the front army on the riverbank last night, an elite cavalry attacked Zhenjiang City with the cooperation of spies and broke into the Shuaifu! ”

As soon as Yang Congyi's words came out, there was an uproar in the camp, and there was a lot of discussion and restlessness.

He immediately continued: "But the good news is that the enemy army has been completely wiped out in the marshal's mansion, leaving a living mouth, and some spies who are ambushed in the city have been found, and they will be beheaded at the gate of the city at noon today. I tell you this, just to let you know that there are spies in Zhenjiang, I am afraid there are still a lot, some Jin people, some are Song people who have been bought, they all look forward to our defeat, and even give the enemy a message and lead the way. Although our forces are now in a weak position, relying on the natural danger of the Yangtze River, as long as we are on guard day and night, it is impossible for the enemy to easily cross the Yangtze River. Therefore, from today onwards, the parts of each army will rotate in three shifts, one shift on duty, one shift for training, and one shift for rest, and all officers and men must be mobilized, and officers and non-commissioned officers and soldiers will be treated equally! ”

The rulers should be commanded.

"Since last night, the naval warships have been patrolling Guazhoudu in the river, judging from the enemy's movements, the enemy will make a big move in three or five days, I hope you will be ready to deal a fatal blow to the enemy if necessary!"

Yang Congyi paused for a moment, and then said, "Okay, you guys go back and strengthen training and garrison." In addition, before noon, a batch of condolence materials in the city will be delivered to all units of the front army, pay attention to receiving them, and they must not be deducted. ”

"Yes!"

The generals smiled and walked out of the tent.

This victory made them raise their eyebrows, not only did they get the merits, but now they also have condolence materials, and there will be rewards in the future, the middle army, the rear army, the left army, and the right army will hide behind and regret it!

At the same time, the sun is three poles.

Xue Wang sent someone to report: "The enemy ships that are about to move in Guazhou have all docked, and there is no movement to cross the river for the time being." In addition, the spies have successfully entered Guazhoudu, and there is no news of the enemy army for the time being. ”

Outside the Zhenjiang ferry, more than 10 Great Song warships cruised up and down in the center of the river near the north side of the river, always monitoring the enemy troops on the opposite bank, and once they found that suspicious ships appeared in the river, no matter how big or small, they immediately leaned over to interrogate them to see if they were enemy spies or ordinary people.

Whether there are idle boats crossing the river in other sections of the Yangtze River, and whether there are enemy spies mixed in them, the elite army does not know, but in the ten-mile section of the Zhenjiang ferry, no boat is allowed to drive straight in, even if it is only a small boat that can only carry three or five people.

Su Zhong and Pan Cheng received an order early in the morning: Any ship that appears in the field of vision and wants to dock at the Zhenjiang ferry must be thoroughly investigated, and if it is found that the origin is unknown, it will be taken down immediately, and the traitor will be killed on the spot!

As for why this order came suddenly, according to their guesses, Lord Yang was probably frightened by the spies in Zhenjiang City who assisted the enemy army in attacking the Shuaifu, and feared that the Zhenjiang ferry port would also be infiltrated by the enemy.

In the Jingwu military camp, Yang Congyi reported the most accurate results to Zhao Wei, and also reported the latest military situation by the way.

"Your Highness, there is no movement of the enemy army in Guazhou for the time being, and it is estimated that the matter of retreating is already being discussed, but it is not ruled out that before retreating, another desperate charge will be organized to cross the river, and Cheng will continue to cross the river and go south, and if it fails, the army will evacuate. If the enemy army really wants to die and fight to the death, Zhenjiang may face great danger, and the first line of defense may not be guaranteed, so it is recommended that His Highness return to the Shuaifu first, and the ferry is not a place where His Highness will live for a long time. Yang Cong tried his best to persuade King Jian to return to the city.

Zhao Wei said: "Lord Yang, didn't you say last night that the enemy army would not dare to cross the river again after this defeat?" ”

Yang Congyi said: "The gold lord is not in the right position, and he has offended countless people in the Jin country, if he goes south this time, he will never be able to cross the Yangtze River, he will not be willing to go back like this, and more importantly, he will not have the face to see those who oppose him going south, and he will be punished or executed, his prestige in the Jin country will be greatly reduced, and the uprisings and rebel forces in various places will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to rise." He is a ruthless, but self-righteous person, there are thousands of big ships in Guazhou, there are people to be crossed, there are boats to be served, he can't agree to let the soldiers give up crossing the river because they are afraid, and he will definitely force his ministers to go down the river once. In his opinion, if he succeeded in crossing the river, it would be the best, and if he failed to cross the river and thousands of big ships were destroyed, then he could put the responsibility for crossing the river to his courtiers, kill people to settle complaints, and then lead his troops back north. In this way, the responsibility for his failure to go south can be attributed to the general's ineffective command of the battle, rather than his decision to invade the Song Dynasty in the south. Judging from the gold lord Wan Yan Liang's killing of the royal family and the ministers who disagreed with him, he was more concerned about his own face than the life and death of his subordinates, so it is very likely that the enemy army in Guazhou will launch a death crossing river attack under Wan Yan Liang's personal order, although the enemy army will fail, but the first line of defense of Zhenjiang Ferry is very likely to be lost. Please go back to the city for a while! ”

Zhao Wei saw that Yang Congyi's face was no longer the smile of last night, but instead of a faint worry, he no longer insisted at the moment, and only listened to him: "Okay, Lord Yang, I will wait for your good news in Zhenjiang City, and when the enemy army retreats, I will personally celebrate your achievements!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Yang Congyi raised his hand and bowed.

Zhao Wei soon left the camp of the former army under the escort of the Su Guards and returned to Zhenjiang City.

After this defeat, what will happen to the enemy? Will you continue to cross the river, or will you lead your troops back?

Yang Congyi did not tell Zhao Wei all his inferences, because there was a news that the Great Song Dynasty had no way of knowing at this time, that is, Wan Yan Yong, who was left behind in Tokyo in Liaoyang, rebelled and became the emperor.

The news of Wan Yan Yong's rebellion as the emperor, others don't know, and Yang Congyi didn't receive the news from Shen Jin, but the first to receive the news must be Wan Yan Liang.

According to the earlier plan, Shen Jin wanted to instigate Wan Yan Yong of Liaoyang to raise the banner and claim the emperor at the end of September and early October, when Wan Yan Liang led his army to the Huai River, and completely tore up the Song and Jin peace talks.

Therefore, Wan Yan Yong should have rebelled and claimed the emperor by mid-October at the latest, from Liaoyang to Yanjing, and then from Yanjing to Bianjing, from Bianjing to Hezhou and Yangzhou, the distance is no more than 5,000 miles, and the horse gallops for a month, and the news must have been delivered to Wan Yanliang at this time.

After learning the news that Yan Yong rebelled and became the emperor, Wan Yan Liang had already ridden the tiger and was difficult, if he didn't cross the Yangtze River to save some face, he didn't have the face to go back at all, no matter how difficult it was, he had no choice but to cross the river. Only by using the result of crossing the Yangtze River can we suppress the people in the army and the DPRK who still do not agree to go south, but do not show it, otherwise those people are very likely to turn around and support Wan Yan Yong, who is also Wanyan Agu's grandson.

Zhao Wei and Yang Cun didn't know that Wan Yan Yong had already proclaimed himself emperor, and they might not have thought that the soldiers of the Jin army would rebel and kill Yan Liang, but Yang Congyi knew that the Jin army would kill Wan Yan Liang in the Guazhou Crossing Camp, and then return north to Wan Yan Yongtou to ask for merit.

Therefore, it is impossible for the soldiers of the Jin army in Guazhoudu to be sent to death to cross the river, they may already be planning how to kill Wan Yan Liang, and Wan Yan Liang may still be thinking about what reason to lead the troops back north after crossing the river to exterminate Wan Yan Yong.

If it was a few days ago, Yang Congyi would sit and watch the enemy army rebel in Guazhou, kill Yan Liang, and lead the troops back to the north, but now the situation has changed, he wants to recover Yanjing, otherwise he will not be able to sleep, and his family may be affected.

Yanjing is now in the hinterland of the Jin State, if you want to recover Yanjing, you must defeat the Jin State, and recover all the land south of Yanjing, a Jin State with a unified regime, the overall strength is stronger than the Great Song Dynasty, there is no possibility of defeating them at all, only the Jin State began to fight and strife internally, and there was no time to look south, and the Great Song Dynasty had the opportunity to gradually recover the old land from the south to the north.

If there is civil strife in Jin, the two emperors of the Jin State, Wan Yan Liang and Wan Yan Yong, must coexist in the Jin State, one south and one north are hostile to each other, and they continue to attack each other, consuming national strength.

In short, if it is to be successful, Yan Liang cannot die, and if he is alive, he can contain Yan Yong and weaken the national strength, and the Great Song Dynasty will have a chance to recover Yanjing.

Zhao Wei is in the camp, Yang Congyi can't go anywhere, and he just doesn't want this secret to be known, after all, it is too appalling to save the emperor of the enemy country!
