Beijin, Liaoyang.

Wan Yan Yong, who was in Liaoyang, adopted a series of lenient policies to stabilize the rear, resume production, and accumulate strength, while in the front, he put pressure on Wan Yan Liang everywhere.

Yanjing has a special geographical location, since the annexation of Yan Yong, it is impossible for Yan Liang to send troops directly north to the grassland, and it is not feasible to go east to Liaoyang through the coastal passage of Bohai Bay, and if Yanjing is not taken, the defenders in the city can cut off the grain route and retreat of Yan Liang's army at any time, trap them on the narrow coast, and even be driven into the sea.

It is precisely because of the geographical advantage that after Wanyan Yong slightly strengthened his forces, he immediately tried to take an offensive, and transferred most of the troops stationed in Linhuang Mansion in Beijing to deter the grassland tribes to Yanjing.

So in July, after hearing that the Song Dynasty sent 80,000 troops to launch the Northern Expedition and attack Jeju, Wanyan Yong, who was in Liaoyang and learned the exact news, immediately decided to attack Wanyanliang, and promised to pay 3,000 horses to Shen Jin's Shandong Righteous Army to attack Dezhou and Binzhou, and contain Wanyanliang's army from the east.

On August 12, Yanjing stayed behind and was the right deputy marshal Wanyan Mouyan led 60,000 troops south and directly took Bazhou.

On 14 August, Wanyan Mouyan's vanguard defeated thousands of Nanjin defenders in Gu'an County, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue them to Bazhou.

On August 18, Wanyan Mouyan led a large army to the city of Bazhou, and the 10,000 Nanjin defenders did not come out.

After the siege of the city, there was no immediate storming of the city, Wanyan Mouyan sent the accompanying army to persuade the surrender envoy, entered the city to persuade the surrender, the defenders were unmoved, killed the persuasion envoy, expressed their attitude, and abandoned the corpse outside the city, swearing not to stand with the rebellion.

After Yan Mouyan was angry, he immediately ordered the siege of the city.

The 30,000 Jin army attacked the city with all its might, from noon to dusk, and after paying a huge price, they broke through Bazhou City.

The 10,000 defenders in the city were all killed, none of them escaped, and even the people in the city died in the chaos.

The Jin army left the city, the people in Bazhou could not survive, and all fled, and Bazhou fought a battle and became an empty city, completely occupied by corrupt corpses.

On August 22, the Beijin army arrived in Guixin County, and the local county commander had fled with his family as early as when he learned that Bazhou had been lost, and the people of the county had fled seven or eight times out of ten.

Wanyan Mouyan led the army into the city to rest.

On August 23, Baozhou and Hejian each sent 40,000 troops, divided into east and west, to attack the converts.

Wanyan Mouyan detected the enemy's situation and knew that the Baozhou army was weak, so he led the army to abandon the letter and ambush the army in Rongcheng.

On August 26, the Baozhou Jin army passed through Rongcheng, arrogant, did not investigate for a while, fell into the encirclement of Wanyan Mouyan, the two sides fought for three hours, until nightfall, before the army was withdrawn.

In this battle, the Baozhou Jin army lost half of its troops, and fled back to Baozhou City that night.

The Western Route Army was defeated, while the Jin Army of Hejian Mansion on the Eastern Route was unaware.

Wanyan Mouyan sent nearly 10,000 cavalry troops south from Rongcheng that night to Gaoyang, and sent another 3,000 cavalry to return to Christianity overnight, and from Christianity to the south, he went straight to Hejian Mansion.

In the early morning of August 27, as soon as the gate of Gaoyang County was opened, a cavalry unit of the Jin Army rushed into the city, killed the defenders and county officials in the city, and blockaded the county seat.

A day later, Wanyan Mouyan led his army to Gaoyang County.

On the same day, the 3,000 cavalry troops from the south of Conversion encountered the 40,000 troops from the north of Hejian Province in the north of Renqiu, and fled northward after the slightest contact, while the opposing cavalry troops pursued them for more than 200 miles all the way until they were near Bazhou, and only then did they get rid of the pursuit.

On August 29, Wanyan Mouyan's troops discovered that the defenders of Hejian Province had less than 10,000 men, and the rest of the army was still marching towards Guixin, preparing to attack Guixin together with the Baozhou army.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wanyan Mouyan ordered troops to enter Hejian City, and launched a surprise attack while the defenders had not returned.

On the morning of August 30, Wanyan Mouyan led a large army to the city of Hejian and besieged Simen.

After half an hour of persuasion, the defenders of the city ignored it, so they immediately ordered the siege of the city.

From the morning to noon, both sides suffered losses.

After an hour's truce, Wanyan Mouyan ordered the siege to continue.

And threatened that if before sunset, the defenders in Hejian City did not open the city to return to Emperor Dading, they would be an undying enemy, and when the city was broken, it would be the same as Bazhou, and the chickens and dogs would not be left!

The defenders in the city ignored it, and the Northern Jin army stormed for two hours, killing thousands of people.

Seeing that the Jin army outside the city was not only attacking the city, the four gates were all sealed, and a person who reported the news could not get out, in the face of the crazy attack, how long could Hejian City be defended, no one had a bottom in his heart.

The sun gradually turned west, and just as Wanyan Mouyan ordered to continue the onslaught, he saw a flag suddenly raised in the city.

Immediately afterward, the city shouted: The defender has been killed!

Wan Yan Mouyan learned of this news and urgently ordered a suspension of the attack.

A moment later, a head was dropped from the city.

Yanjing is not too far from Hejian Province, and it is clear how many garrisons there are and what commanders there are.

The head was sent to Wanyan Mouyan, and his identity was confirmed, and he immediately ordered to stop the attack, retreat half a mile, and order the defenders in the city to leave the city and surrender.

At dusk, the remnants of the defenders and the officials of the left-behind government went out of the city and surrendered.

Although the defenders surrendered, few of the officials in the left-behind mansion were willing to surrender to Liaoyang Wan Yan Yong, not only were they unwilling to surrender, but they even scolded Wan Yan Yong in front of Wan Yan Mouyan for being the culprit of chaos, the rebellious ministers and thieves, and even if he died, he would not surrender Wan Yan Yong!

Wanyan Mouyan is not a merciful person, and he should kill those who are unwilling to surrender in front of the battle, so as to deter the hearts of the surrendering soldiers.

After killing people, the army successfully entered the city and took over the defense of Hejian Province.

Two days later, the news of Wanyan Mouyan's successful sneak attack on Hejian Mansion reached Zhending Mansion, and reached the ears of the Jin army who went north from Hejian Mansion to crusade against Wanyan Mouyan, Zhending Mansion immediately ordered the Baozhou Army to rush to the aid of Hejian Mansion, and ordered the defenders of Hejian Mansion to return quickly and recapture the city!

On the fifth day of the ninth month, the defenders of Hejian Province hurriedly returned to the city of Hejian, and Wanyan Mouyan led the army to battle, defeated the tired division that returned to the reinforcements in a battle, killed more than 5,000 people, and the defenders of Hejian retreated to Zhangqiu to rest.

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, after the Baozhou army regained Gaoyang, it was long overdue, and the 30,000 troops camped five miles outside the city of Hejian.

On September 12, the Baozhou army and the defenders of Hejian met to attack Hejian City, and Wanyan Mouyan ordered the city defense to be consolidated.

On 15 September, more than 60,000 men of the two armies gathered under the city of Hejian and launched a fierce attack on the city without saying a word.

The two sides fought fiercely for several hours, each with damage, and then withdrew their troops to rest.

On the second day, the two sides fought fiercely under the city again, and they did not come out of the city after trying to defend the city, but did not get any results.

On the third day, the battle was renewed, and each was damaged, and the Baozhou army and the Hejian defenders failed to capture the city.

On the fourth day, the battle was fought again, again to no avail.

The two sides fought for ten days, and the soldiers were exhausted, so they had to temporarily stop fighting and rest in case of accidents.

On the first day of October, 30,000 reinforcements from Zhending Mansion arrived outside Hejian City, and the Nanjin army began to occupy an absolute advantage in numbers, so it immediately launched a wheel war, and each army took turns to attack Hejian City.

Wan Yan Mouyan immediately changed his strategy, and quickly implemented a round battle under the condition of ensuring the safety of the city, so that most of the army could maintain enough physical strength and energy, in case the Jin army outside the city suddenly pressed the whole army and broke the city in one fell swoop.

A few days later, the besieging Jin army outside the city really launched a fierce attack at night, and the whole army pressed on, trying to break the city in one battle.

Wanyan Mouyan personally went to the city to command and supervise the battle, and the fierce battle was in the middle of the night before he thwarted the opponent's powerful offensive.

After this fierce battle, both sides lost five or six thousand troops each.

After this battle, the Nanjin army outside the city still attacked the city every day, but it was actually significantly shortened, and it only attacked for less than half an hour each time, just like a routine, and the siege of the four gates did not relax at all.

Wanyan Mouyan knew the other party's intentions, and the other party was nothing more than trying to cut off their food and grass supplies.

However, this move is redundant, Wanyan Mouyan set off from Yanjing to lead the troops, he did not think about transporting grain and grass from the rear, his strategy is to snatch the grain and grass in the opponent's city to supply the army, if you can't break the big city, then break some small cities, try to create some panic and pressure for Wan Yan Liang, if you can break the big city, after seizing the grain, you can garrison it, and if you can't garrison it, you will destroy the city and leave.

He has an army of 50,000, and there are 20,000 cavalry troops alone, and when he marches in a hurry, he comes and goes like the wind, and in the wilderness, the other party wants to keep him, but he does not have several times the number of troops, and he does not arrange in advance, it is simply impossible.

His cavalry were all warriors who had recovered from the tribes of the northern steppes, and no matter how many troops the other side had, who could surround them?

There are a lot of grain and grass stored in the big cities, Bazhou has enough grain and grass for 50,000 people to eat for half a month, and Hejian has more grain and grass, and it is not a problem for 50,000 people to eat for three months.

But the day he took Hejian Mansion, Wanyan Mouyan knew that Hejian Mansion was not a place to stay for a long time, and when the food was finished, they would have to break through and return to the north, if there was an accident, the food was not enough, and the people in the city could only be driven out of the city, anyway, when the army left, it was impossible to take the people with him, and the people's hearts would not be recovered by him, all he wanted was the city and land.

Wan Yan Liang and Wan Yan Yong's armies confronted each other in Hejian Province, while thousands of cavalry on each side roamed around, waiting for an opportunity to attack the city and plunder the counties and towns nominally attached to the other side.

All of a sudden, none of the vast areas north of Hejian Province and south of Yanjing were safe, and no one knew when they would be plundered by the opposing cavalry, and they were worried all day long.

Hundreds of civilians, after hearing of the presence of marauding cavalry in the surrounding towns, abandoned their land and fled eastward, to the coastal areas where the rebel armies rarely appeared, and then fled all the way south.

The people of the north fled to Binzhou, and when they heard the propaganda here, the fertile land was restored and exempted from taxation for two years, and the wasteland was reclaimed and exempted from taxation for three years, and they sought to verify the authenticity.

The local government gave porridge to help the fleeing people, and then promised that those who were willing to settle in this place would borrow grain at low interest to tide over the disaster and give free farm tools.

When the fleeing people heard about it, they all kowtowed and thanked them.

Within half a month, more than 3,000 refugee households registered to settle down with borrowed grain.

Then it was divided from the state capital to each county, and the land was divided into residences.
