After the completion of the newly formed elite army, after the military training was completed every evening, Yang Congyi summoned the generals and officers who were ready to be generals and above, gathered them, and personally taught the art of war, analyzed classic combat examples, and conducted strategic war deductions, so as to inject the awareness of the art of war into their thinking.

At the same time as the training of the new army, the spies sent to the north sent back the news of the Jin army one after another, according to the information from different regions and channels, as well as the enemy situation seen by the spies themselves, Wan Yanliang has moved the center of defense to the north to Bianjing, Xingrenfu, Jeju, and Linyi, and deployed nearly 200,000 troops, and the entire southern region, except for the 50,000 troops stationed in Guidefu, such as Xuzhou, Ruzhou, and Xuzhou, are only tens of thousands of troops stationed, and the entire focus of the Jin army's deployment has moved north to the vicinity of the Yellow River. A large number of Jin troops continued to advance northward.

Although there is no news of Wan Yan Liang and Wan Yan Yong fighting in the north, Yang Congyi knows that the two sides will never live in peace, and the Jin State will not be divided into two.

However, judging from the available information, Wan Yan Liang was quite calm, and after retreating from the north of the Yangtze River, he did not immediately lead the army back to Yanjing, but sent troops to attack in Ruzhou, Chenzhou, Bozhou, and Xuzhou repeatedly.

Although Yang Congyi saw through Yan Liang's trick, he did not expose it, because he also needed time to prepare, and it was not his intention to venture in.

The imperial court could not afford to lose any attack, and once the attack failed, the lord and faction would immediately jump out and seize power in the court, and then it would be impossible for the Song army to organize any more attacks.

Once the two sides reach a settlement, Wan Yan Liang will mobilize a large army to go north, first destroy Yan Yong, and then try to go south.

Judging from the news discovered, Wan Yan Yong, who ascended the throne and became emperor in Liaoyang, did not move the capital to Yanjing, which is still the territory controlled by Wan Yan Liang, from the perspective of the area controlled by the two, whether it is population or resources, Wan Yan Yong is a big difference from Wan Yan Liang, if the two sides go to war, Wan Yan Yong must not be an opponent, unless he can take Yanjing.

This is also where Yang Congyi worries, once Wan Yan Yong can't hold it and is taken by Wan Yan Liang in one fell swoop, even if he is ready in the Suzhou area, it is impossible to take Bianjing with only his more than 60,000 troops, and he may even be forced back to the Yangtze River by Wan Yan Liang with hundreds of thousands of troops, and the recovery of Yanjing will be far away.

The only chance to recover the Central Plains in the north and recapture Yanjing is that Wanyan Liang and Wanyan Yong are evenly matched, fighting in the north, and have no time to look south, so that the Song army can quickly recover Bianjing, and then take Bianjing as the foundation, recruit troops and buy horses, train troops with grain, and wait for the opportunity to go north and capture Yanjing in one fell swoop when Wanyan Liang and Wanyan Yong's troops are seriously damaged.

And in order to complete Yan Yong's forces and Wan Yan to appear, Wan Yan Yong must occupy Yanjing, so that he can have the strength to fight.

But what will Wan Yan Yong do, Yang Congyi, who is in Bozhou, can't intervene, and can only hope that Wan Yan Yuanyi, who fled north from Yangzhou, can bring a strong force to join Wan Yan Yong, so that he has the power and ambition to get involved in Yanjing.

Shen Jin has been in the north, and he should have known the situation in the north best, but the distance is far away, and the land passage is inconvenient, so he can't get in touch at all, and he can't deliver news in time, so he will delay many fighters.

There is a chance that the peace between the imperial court and Wan Yan Liang can be achieved, and I am afraid that there will be no large-scale war between Song and Jin in a short period of time, if it is well prepared, but does not take advantage of the decisive battle between Wan Yan Liang and Wan Yan Yong to take the initiative to attack and seize Bianjing, it is definitely an irreparable mistake.

Yang Congyi deduced many times, even if Wan Yan Yong's strength was not enough to compete with Wan Yan Liang, but they finally wanted to find an opportunity for a decisive battle, Wan Yan Liang knew that the Song army would threaten him, and he would definitely strike with all his strength, in order to fight a quick victory, if the Song army made reasonable use of the time of their decisive battle, and saw that Wan Yan Liang could not return to the army to rescue Bianjing, and several armies went north at the same time, there would be a chance to capture Bianjing.

But the location of their decisive battle must be near Yanjing, or even Liaoyang, and the time of the decisive battle is unknown, if the spies quietly send a letter, I am afraid that it will take a month or two to come and go, and if there is this time, Yan Liang's army has already returned south to the vicinity of Bianjing, so it is particularly important to open up a communication channel, as long as all kinds of war reports can be sent back to Bozhou, Suzhou, and Xuzhou within ten days, the Song army will have the opportunity to seize the fighter plane and seize Bianjing.

After many deductions, a bold idea appeared in Yang Congyi's mind, that is, to take Jeju, Linyi, Tai'an, Jinan and Yidu Mansion, and seize the entire Shandong Peninsula.

But to realize this idea, it is impossible to rely on the Song army in Haizhou, Xuzhou, and Suzhou, and the army in these places cannot be mobilized without the order of the imperial court, and it can only be countermeasured. Thinking about it, if you want to win the capital, Jinan, and Tai'an, you can only rely on the righteous army, but the righteous army on the Shandong Peninsula does not have that ability, nor does it have that ambition, and most importantly, they have no reason to listen to Yang Congyi's command.

This is what he thought of the Jingwu army and the escort army that were far away, and now there should be seven or eight thousand people who can be mobilized, if they quietly go north to Dengzhou or Mizhou, and attack the city and seize the land in the identity and name of the righteous army, the imperial court does not know, it will not arouse Wan Yan Liang's suspicion of the Song army, and even when fighting with Wan Yan Yong, he will not be distracted to pay attention to the Shandong Yi army, so that as long as the Yi army can gain a foothold in Shandong and win a few more battles, there will definitely be not a few people who are attached, and it is not impossible to quickly take Yidu, Jinan, and Tai'an when Yan Liang is careless.

Shen Jin's time in the north is not short, if he cooperates, the logistics supply of the righteous army will not be too much of a problem.

After carefully thinking about it for a few days, Yang Congyi wrote four letters, sent his guards south to Quanzhou and Liuqiu, and sent them to Shen Jin, Lu You, Yao Chang and Yang Siniang respectively, asking them to prepare for the righteous army's northward march and return to Yi as soon as possible.

In Bozhou, Suzhou, and Chenzhou, he supplemented and replaced the ordnance and armor of the whole army, stepped up training, and prepared to launch the Battle of Guide at any time, seize Guide first, and advance the battle line to the north, so that in the future, he could respond to the Shandong Righteous Army at any time and take Jining.

Time flies, and soon enters May of the 32nd year of Shaoxing.

The envoy from the Jin State returned to Lin'an safely from Bianjing, and the news he brought back gave the main battle faction great excitement.

The envoy told the emperor and the ministers of the court in the court that after he arrived in Bianjing with the letter of state, the Jin people did not agree with the title of the brother's country in the letter of state, and asked him to return to Lin'an to revise the letter of state, and change the relationship between the Jin and Song countries to the country of uncle and nephew, so that he would accept the letter of state, and the land north of the Huai River forcibly occupied by the Song army must be returned, and the annual coins to be given cannot be reduced, in short, the letter of state should be comprehensively revised, but he insisted on not changing a word, and the Jin people put him in prison for more than half a month, and he did not give in after exhausting the means of coercion and temptation, In the end, Jin Ren really had no choice, so he sent him back.

For decades, when did the Jin people be polite to the envoys of the Song Dynasty, and when did the envoys of the Jin Kingdom go to the Jin Kingdom and were not ready to die? If they don't follow the Jin people, they will be imprisoned if they feel a little unsatisfactory, and they will be imprisoned for one year, two years, three years, humiliation, and even die in the Jin prison. But this time, in the face of the national letter drafted by the main battle faction of the Song Dynasty, the Jin people only locked up the envoy for half a month, and did not dare to fight, nor did they dare to humiliate, but only intimidated and lured, what does this mean?

The envoy proudly talked to the Great Song Junchen about his experience in the Jin Kingdom, full of pride.

The main battle faction is now ready to attack and capture more old lands!

Chen Kangbo said: "I have long said that the Jin people are already afraid of us, they fled all the way from Yangzhou back to Bianjing, it only took more than half a month, and it took them more than two months to go south from Bianjing to the Yangtze River, and when they fled back, they had no intention of resisting at all!" If I had listened to me earlier and pursued while we had won, maybe we would have recovered Bianjing! But it's not too late, I suggest that the whole army be ordered to attack with all their strength immediately, recover the northern land, take back Bianjing, and restore the Central Plains! ”

Yu Shi Zhong said: "The minister seconded the proposal!" Since the Jin people are afraid of us, we must not miss the great opportunity, and we should immediately order all the armies to march together to take Bianjing! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

.........

The main battle faction echoed the crowd and asked for orders to attack immediately.

However, there are also different voices, and it is recommended to prepare first, wait for the grain, grass and ordnance to be transported along the Huai River, hoard enough to launch a big war, and the Yangtze River defense is further stabilized, and then launch an attack to the north with Wu Gong in the Xiangyang area and Wu Lu in the Sichuan-Shaanxi area, and take Bianjing in one fell swoop. If you go north in a hurry, once you succeed, it will be unfavorable to the Great Song Dynasty, and you will even lose the land in Huaibei that you have now.

The Lord and the faction believe that the Jin people are precisely because they retreated quickly, did not drag the mud and water, the army losses are not large, and there is not much weakening, since the Great Song army has achieved good results and recaptured a large amount of land, it should be accepted as soon as it is good, and immediately make certain concessions and sign a peace agreement with the Jin State, for example, the annual currency remains unchanged as usual, and the land can be returned to them as appropriate, as for the country of uncle and nephew, or the country of brothers, it will be negotiated in the future, and the top priority is to sign a peace agreement as soon as possible and get some of the land that has been occupied!

Seeing that the ministers were arguing, Zhao Gou was silent and absent-minded.
