The two old men who were over half a hundred years old were human spirits, and when they heard Xu Shiyang's new conditions, they understood what His Royal Highness the young prince had in mind.

However, Xu Shiyang's request was intended for them to agree, after all, they themselves knew that any sound country would not allow a semi-independent force like their own to exist, let alone allow them to gather in one place to hold together - that was a great challenge to the imperial power.

Zuo Huyun and Zhi Kexing exchanged a look with each other.

After a while, Zuo Huyun said: "His Royal Highness's request, the old man on behalf of Shaanxi Province has agreed to all of them. ”

"On behalf of all the generals in Shaanxi Province?"

"Yes, before Lao Yu came, the four families of Guo, He, Yang, and Ding all gave Lao Yu the right to represent their parents, plus the Zuo family and the Zhe family, the six families in Shaanxi Province are all here."

"Not only that, but we are also willing to express higher sincerity."

Zhe Ke Xing also says:

"Our Shaanxi Province Jiangmen can attack Jin Province from the west, and if we attack from both sides, it should be easier for our country to recover Jin Province."

He actually planned to backstab his relatives ......, and even said the word "my country", this old man is really unkind.

And Xu Shiyang couldn't refuse.

After all, no matter how damn the prince of Jin Province, it has nothing to do with the ordinary people of Jin Province, on the contrary, the common people are too oppressed by the Eight Families, and they can also be regarded as victims of traitor rule.

Therefore, this war was different from the great battle in the Liaodong direction, Xu Shiyang could not use too drastic means, and he did not want to cause too many killings or delay for a long time.

The best way is, of course, for the princes to consciously surrender to the Qi State, and if they are unwilling, then it is acceptable to force them to compromise with a little force, and then slowly clean it up.

Now is such an opportunity, after the Qi army defeated the army of the marquis head-on, the marquis of Shaanxi Province, who was originally regarded as an ally of the Eight Families, appeared as an enemy again, and I want to know how desperate the Eight Families will be.

If this matter is accomplished, it can be regarded as a great achievement no matter where it is, and the Qi army, which is known for its clear rewards and punishments, will naturally have no exception to this.

Of course, the conditions that have been negotiated will not be changed because of this, but when the time comes, the young people who are motivated by the Jiangmen family in Shaanxi Province can get a lot of credit and start in the new environment of Qi with a higher starting point.

"Just do what you say."

Xu Shiyang finally agreed:

"I'll leave you some time, and then launch an attack in ten days, I estimate that within three to five days, the matter on the battlefield will almost be over, and before that, you have to make a gesture of coercing the Marquis of Jin Province to submit!"

……

Liaobei, Wanyan Zonggan looked at the burning exterior wall of Aihui City, and his face was dazed.

Early this morning, when the sentries were most tired and relaxed, two Qi army fast sailing ships suddenly rushed out of the Molong River and fired fiercely at the eastern wall of Aihui City with divine cannons and rockets filled with whale oil.

The Qi army also brought some small trebuchets and threw clay pots filled with whale oil and half-melted sugar into the burning wooden walls, with the result that the entire outer walls of Aihui City burned hopelessly.

Wanyan Zonggan really had no choice but to order all the buildings near the outer wall to be torn down, build a fireproof isolation zone, and then let less than a hundred Qi troops burn nearly half of the Aihui that had been built with great difficulty.

There were 300 soldiers trapped in the fire, and there were also hundreds of tiger fighters who came to Aihui to trade.

Wanyan Zonggan was not a fool, he knew very well what this sudden attack meant.

He was very afraid of him before he fought Hu'er, after all, before Yan Zonggan, he was also a general of the Jin Army who often came to Liaobei to hunt, and he was famous in the Jurchen tribe.

Therefore, although Wanyan Zonggan looked extremely embarrassed when he came to Molongjiang, he wanted to trade with the Shengnuzhen, and although the Hu'er people were afraid, they still came.

But in today's battle, a small number of Qi troops relied on the mobility advantage of inland river ships to fight Yan Zonggan almost without injury, and there were so many living girls to accompany the funeral.

So after today, no matter how stupid the birth girl is, she can know who is more powerful between Qi Jin, who they will choose to take refuge in the future, and whose helper they will become, in fact, it is not difficult to guess.

With the current situation of the remnants of Yan Zonggan's army, if all the Jurchens became enemies, he would not be able to hold out for long in the ice and snow of the Molong River.

In contrast, the loss of a few hundred armor soldiers and half a city is not the biggest problem.

Now, Wanyan Zonggan has begun to regret it a little, maybe he should really move west with Wanyan Zongwang?

……

"Aha! It's a pleasure! ”

On the returning ship, Zhang Shun stood at the bow of the boat and laughed loudly.

Today's attack was carried out by him and Zhu Wu privately, and did not have the support of the Qi government at all, or even the local support of the Qi cities along the Molong River.

Therefore, most of the soldiers who participated in the war were the crew members of the "Great Shunfeng", plus a few volunteers, plus Zhang Shun and Zhu Wu themselves, a total of 82 people, on two flat-bottomed river sailing boats, with two magic cannons, two improvised trebuchets, and some clay pots mixed with whale oil and sugar, and then went to attack Aihui.

Attacking thousands of Tartars with less than a hundred irregular troops was definitely looking for death in the past, but this time, Zhang Shun not only achieved a complete victory, but also did not even lose a single loss!

Zhang Shun felt that this victory was enough for him to blow for a lifetime.

After all, he could say that he had defeated the Tartar Grand Prince Wanyan Sect with zero casualties.

……

When the Jiangbei Qi militia was playing with the poor remnants of the Tartars, the main force of the Qi army led by Xu Shiyang launched an attack against the Eight Great Shihou families in Jin Province.

On the first day of the sixth month of the sixth year of Longdao, Xu Shiyang led a field army of 12,000 people from Zijing Pass and advanced to Guangchang along the course of the Juma River.

On the other hand, Lin Chong led 8,000 field troops to directly attack Lingqiu along the Tangshui River from Daomaguan.

Because this area is densely mountainous, going elsewhere will seriously affect logistics, so the two routes chosen by the General Staff are to follow the river.

The Qi army prepared a lot of river boats to transport ammunition and grain, in addition, the banks of the river are generally relatively flat, and the old roads in the Taihang Mountains are almost always on both sides of the river or dry old channels, which are more suitable for the advance of the army.

As the head snake of the land, the eighth emperor of Jin Province naturally knew this, and Fan Yongdou built more than ten defense lines along the two rivers, intending to use a large number of fortifications and offset the combat advantage of the Qi army.

The idea is good, if it is a cold-weapon army, it is indeed possible to play a role in the defense of layers in this narrow terrain.

However, the strength of the Qi army has surpassed this era, and this kind of simple accumulation of the number of fortifications of the defense line cannot play any role at all.
