On the first day of October, the news of the Song army's sudden large-scale attack on Pingzhou City came back to Liaoyang Mansion, and Wanyan Yongjun's ministers were shocked.

After many parties verified and discussed, it was confirmed that the Great Song Dynasty was going to take Yanjing, so he urgently convened important ministers to make a decision and discuss a solution.

On the third day of October, Wan Yanyong decided to send troops from Liaoyang Mansion to join the Jinzhou garrison to support Pingzhou City and assist in the defense of Yanjing.

On the fifth day of the first month, the support edict was issued, with the military department as the marshal, and the Gong Guards stationed fifty miles north of Liaoyang Mansion as the main force, preparing to send troops west to Pingzhou.

On the sixth day of the first month, the edict of westward march to Pingzhou was sent to the garrison of the Gongwei Army, and the army immediately began to prepare for action.

On the seventh day of the first month, the news that Laizhou was captured by the Song army reached Liaoyang Mansion, and Wanyan Yong suddenly felt that something was wrong.

On the same day, Wan Yan Yong urgently summoned the soldiers and ordered the army to act within two days, and it must rush to Laizhou City within ten days.

Two big cities were lost in ten days, and Yan Yong only came back to his senses at this time, and the 500,000 troops that the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty said before did not seem to be a lie.

The intention of the Great Song Dynasty to seize Yanjing is very obvious, and it was also to seize Pingzhou first, and then to seize Laizhou, occupy two cities, prevent the Liaoyang army from advancing westward to support, and attempt to besiege Yanjing, this time it is still the same old routine.

Even if Yan Yong knows this routine, but the national strength is limited, he still can't use enough troops to hold Pingzhou and Laizhou, and now he can only hope to contain the Song army in Laizhou and Pingzhou, reduce the pressure on the Yanjing area, and wait until the harsh winter comes, the Song army is short of food and grass, and retreats south in vain.

Even if Wan Yan Yong guessed that the Song army would not be able to break through Yanjing City this time, he would not dare to be careless, after all, Linhuang Mansion still had a strong opponent, and he was eyeing Dading Mansion and did not want to take it back all the time.

On the ninth day of October, the squire of the Dongjin Soldier Department led 30,000 troops to leave Liaoyang Mansion in a hurry, and even the grain and grass did not have time to prepare, and went straight to Jinzhou and Laizhou.

On October 12, Laizhou reported urgently that the Song army had increased its troops to Laizhou City by 40,000, and the total strength of the Song army in Laizhou reached 60,000, and asked the imperial court to send reinforcements as soon as possible, otherwise the Song army might attack Jinzhou City!

When Dongjin Junchen heard the news, they were all shocked.

In the past, the Song army went north to invade the border, and the army that attacked Laizhou never exceeded 50,000, but now the 60,000 Song army gathered in Laizhou to do something, to attack Jinzhou? After taking Jinzhou, what about attacking Liaoyang Mansion?

Wan Yanyong quickly thought of what the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty mentioned before, fifty years ago, the Jin army went south to Bianjing to rob the ministers of the Great Song royal family and the ministers going north, saying that they wanted to seek justice for them, could it be that the Song army went north this time to attack Liaoyang Mansion, and the robbery of the royal family of the Jin State could not go south, and it was not possible to avenge what happened fifty years ago?

Thinking of this, Wan Yanyong couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

When the Jin army captured Bianjing City and plundered the Great Song royal family and ministers returned to Shangjing Huining Mansion in the north, he was still young, and then slightly older, but he had seen the miserable situation of those Great Song royal family relatives, if he really reached that desperate situation, he would rather kill all his concubines and children with his own hands than let them fall into that situation.

If Song Jun really came to the north for revenge this time, then he would have to reconsider the way to deal with it, and he would never sit back and wait for death!

Three days later, news came from the direction of Pingzhou again, saying that the Song army had gathered more than 100,000 troops near Hejian Mansion and intended to besiege Yanjing City.

Hearing this news, Wan Yanyong's heart did not relax, maybe this intentional siege of Yanjing was just a suspicious tactic, and the real purpose was probably to attack Liaoyang Mansion.

Yanjing City has thick walls, there are more than 100,000 garrisons, it is impossible to attack it by force, standing in the position of the Song army, it is definitely not as simple as attacking Liaoyang Mansion from west to east along the line of Pingzhou, Laizhou and Jinzhou.

After Yan Yong's consideration, he still thought that the purpose of Song Jun's northward trip this time should not be in Yanjing, or not only Yanjing, but also Liaoyang Mansion must also be in their calculations.

As a countermeasure, Wan Yanyong immediately ordered the reinforcements to hold on to Jinzhou City, waiting for an opportunity to recapture the state city, and not to attack rashly if there was no suitable time.

In addition, it was inevitable that the Jin army of Linhuang Mansion would take advantage of the Song army to attack and harass Dading Mansion, and ordered Dading Mansion to shrink the battle line, strengthen its defense, and not provoke at will.

Dongjin's current national strength can't support a war on both sides at all, so he has to avoid it and endure it.

Soon after, Jinzhou sent back the news, saying that the traces of the Great Song Dynasty Navy had been found near Pingzhou, and I am afraid that the Great Song Navy had gone north by boat, and was currently investigating the news of the Navy Army.

According to Liaoyang Mansion, the Great Song Navy has always been near Dengzhou, and rarely leaves Dengzhou for hundreds of miles, so what is the purpose of quietly going north to Shangzhou at this time?

From the Great Song Dynasty envoys saying that they would seek justice for the destruction of Bianjing City fifty years ago, to the heavy gathering of troops in Pingzhou, Laizhou, and Hejian Mansions, and to the Dengzhou Navy quietly going north, the Dongjin Junchen had every reason to believe that the Song army intended to attack Liaoyang City, the capital of the Dongjin Kingdom!

A few days later, an urgent report was sent from the direction of Gaizhou: a Great Song army appeared on the coast thirty miles south of Gaizhou, with about 50 large and small warships and nearly 10,000 people!

The next day, Gaizhou reported again: the Song army went north to attack Gaizhou City, requesting to send reinforcements!

Gaizhou City is just a small city facing the sea in the east of Chenzhou, without any strategic value, except for the beach nearly ten miles wide is mountainous, the road is inconvenient, and it is not suitable for farming and grazing, so there are few garrisons.

Originally, there were only a few thousand people stationed there, but later it was because they were worried that the Great Song Dynasty Navy would land on the coast and attack north, so they increased some troops, but even so, the entire garrison force was only about 3,000 people.

It is impossible for 3,000 people to block the attack of 10,000 people, and after Yan Yong convened the important ministers for urgent discussion, he immediately ordered the defenders of Chenzhou to support Gaizhou nearby.

However, two days later, Gaizhou sent a battle report: Gaizhou was lost and occupied by the Song army, and at the same time, no troops were sent to rescue in the direction of Chenzhou.

Wan Yan Yong was furious, and even though he wanted to order the commander of Chenzhou to be severely punished, he was stopped by his subordinates on the grounds that a big battle was imminent and it was useless to punish the front-line generals, and suggested that it would be better to order Chenzhou to recover Gaizhou within three days.

Wanyan Yongqiang endured the anger in his heart, accepted the suggestion of his subordinates, and ordered Chenzhou on the same day to recapture Gaizhou within three days, otherwise he would be punished for the crime of not saving Gaizhou.

Just when Gaizhou, Liaoyangfu, and Chenzhou came and went, the Great Song Dynasty naval army that captured Gaizhou had already been busy strengthening the city day and night, building fortifications, and at the same time moving the ordnance, grain and grass materials carried by the warships into Gaizhou City to prepare for long-term battles.

Two days later, the commander of Chenzhou, who received the edict of Liaoyang Prefecture, hurriedly led 10,000 Chenzhou garrisons to Gaizhou City, and saw that the time limit given by the emperor was running out, so he launched an attack on Gaizhou City on the same day.

As a result, after an hour, the Jin army suffered a lot of losses, but it was unable to capture the city less than two zhang high, so it had to collect troops to rest and adjust the siege deployment.

At the same time that the Song and Jin armies were fighting in Gaizhou, another small Song naval army landed on the coast of Suzhou directly opposite Dengzhou, and then quickly wiped out thousands of Jin troops and local officials stationed in Suzhou City to control the core area of Suzhou.

The Song army, which occupied Suzhou, then built fortifications at the narrowest point of the peninsula, dividing the north and south to prevent the Jin from moving south to retake the city.

Five days after taking Suzhou, another Dengzhou fleet arrived in Suzhou through the strait of more than 200 miles, and sent a large amount of supplies into Suzhou City, along with more than 300 craftsmen and laborers, to help build the fortifications and Suzhou City.

After the naval army that landed in Suzhou gained a firm foothold in Suzhou, it quickly sent a small group of men and horses north to get in touch with the Song army in Gaizhou City, which was more than 300 miles away.

So far, in just ten days, the Great Song Navy has gained a foothold on the Liaodong Peninsula.

Gaizhou was lost and not conquered, and Suzhou was occupied by the Song army, and the successive battle reports made Wan Yanyong very angry, and at the same time, he was more convinced that the Song army seemed to attack Pingzhou and Laizhou with heavy troops, and gathered 100,000 troops to prepare to attack Yanjing, all of which were to cover for them to attack Liaoyang Mansion from Suzhou and Gaizhou, and the capture of Liaoyang City was the real goal of the Song army to launch this war!

Wan Yan Yong can win nearly half of the Jin Kingdom from the hands of the invincible Wan Yan Liang, he is definitely not a mediocre person, nor can he be a stupid person, he will not sit back and wait for the Song army to attack Liaoyang Mansion and drive him back to Huining Mansion between the white mountains and black waters, he will take the initiative to attack and control his fate in his own hands.

Since the Song army wanted to go north from Suzhou and Gaizhou by sea, then drive them back to the sea!

In order to quickly smash the conspiracy of the Song army and boost the morale of the people of the Eastern Jin Army, Wan Yan Yongli overrode the public opinion, once again drove the personal expedition, with the military department Shangshu as the marshal, led the elite of the 30,000 Jin army stationed in Liaoyang Mansion to Chenzhou south, preparing to recapture Gaizhou City in one fell swoop.

On October 26, Wan Yanyong led the army to Chenzhou, and the commander of Chenzhou hurriedly returned to Chenzhou from the Gaizhou front line to greet him.

However, what the commander of Chenzhou, who had attacked Gaizhou for dozens of days, suffered heavy losses, and insisted on not retreating, did not expect that he hurriedly returned to Chenzhou and waited for not the praise of Emperor Wanyan Yong, but the immediate beheading.

As soon as Wan Yanyong arrived in Chenzhou, he ordered to kill the commander of the army who was unfavorable in the battle, and set up authority for the whole army, so as to tell them to fight with all their might, and dare to dare someone to fight ineffectively, and the commander of the army in Chenzhou is an example.

I have to say that Wan Yanyong's trick to kill chickens and monkeys is very effective.

Two days later, when 15,000 members of the Chenzhou army were ordered by the emperor to attack Gaizhou City as a vanguard army, all of them were brave and fearless, fearless and fearless of death, causing a lot of trouble to the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty who were holding Gaizhou City.

However, due to the well-trained soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty Navy on weekdays, and there is a lot of advantage in holding the city, and there are well-equipped and varied, many of which are specially developed for defending the city, so even if the Chenzhou army fought back, one after another, and attacked the city several times, it finally failed to gain a firm foothold in the city, let alone capture the city.

After two days of frantic attacks, the 15,000 people of the Chenzhou army lost nearly half.

And their emperor seems to have no pity for them, just to send them to death, they have always fought desperately in front, and the emperor has brought civil and military ministers to watch from behind.

As the casualties of the Chenzhou army increased, when the emperor first came, the fighting spirit in the hearts of the soldiers quickly disappeared, and some soldiers fled from the camp on the third night.
