Zhao Junsheng's consideration was that if he personally led the troops to Yong'an to the front line, he would definitely boost morale, and he could also let the Asano Mountain shift his attention and focus to the front line of Yong'an, instead of staring at Chengdu City all the time.

However, Dongfang Chen, Li Song and other ministers are not unreasonable, if he leads the troops to Yong'an, it can certainly boost the morale of the front-line soldiers, but it will invisibly put pressure on Lu Shuang, the commander of the army, and will make him restrain his hands and feet, and it is inevitable that he will lose sight of one or the other when commanding the battle.

Zhao Junsheng thought about it comprehensively and said to the ministers: "What Zhu Qing said is not unreasonable, so let's do it, I will not go to Yong'an to make trouble for Lu Shuang, and invisibly restrict his hands and feet, but I can't stay in Chengdu City all the time, I decided to go to Bajun to have a look, it is not far from Yong'an, and it is also the border area between our forces and the territory of the Southern Dynasties, if I go there, I can also put pressure on the Southern Dynasties to a certain extent!" ”

Dongfang Chen looked at the map, if the emperor went to Ba County, and there were Sima Chuzhi and Liang Yi's soldiers and horses in the north to threaten Xiangyang, Huainan and other places, from the perspective of strategic attack situation, it was completely possible to encircle the 50,000 reinforcements of the Southern Dynasty, if the 50,000 Southern Song army ran fast, it would be fine, if it ran slowly, first cut off its return route with Sima Chuzhi's soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses on Zhao Junsheng's side moved directly to the south of the Song army, and the Song army commander was only afraid that he would be scared half to death, right?

He immediately said: "Since Your Majesty has this plan, the minister suggested that he give an order to Sima Chu, order the main force of the army to contain the defenders in the Xiangyang area, and then send light cavalry to bypass the various cities and go south to cut off the retreat of the 50,000 reinforcements of the Southern Dynasty, even if they can't really surround the 50,000 Song army, they can also scare them out of their bitter courage, so that they can not only solve the dilemma of Yong'an, but also turn the passive into the active militarily!" ”

Zhao Junsheng turned his head and looked at the map, pondered in his heart, and immediately said, "Okay, just do it!" Someone came, sent an edict to Sima Chuzhi, and ordered him to use the main force to contain the Song defenders on the front line of Xiangyang, and send another 5,000 light cavalry to quickly go south to Dangyang, and when this light cavalry arrived in Dangyang, I wanted to see if the Song army's 50,000 reinforcements could attack Yong'an with peace of mind! By the way, who is the commander of the 50,000 Song army? ”

Lin Jinghui stood up and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the commander of the Song Army is Xiao Siyan, the general of the Protector Army!" ”

The leading generals and protector generals of the Northern and Southern Dynasties were not miscellaneous generals. Especially in the Southern Dynasties, the leading general was in charge of the forbidden army, and if the commander was not qualified, but he wanted to be in charge of the forbidden army, he was given the official position of the leader of the middle army; Protector generals are generally in charge of the selection of military positions, and they are all military positions with real power.

"Oh? It's him! Zhao Junsheng knows Xiao Siyan, this person is older than him, but he is not a few years older, when he was young, he was a prodigal son who did not change his money.

"Then this matter is decided, I will set off early tomorrow morning, if Zhuqing is afraid of the bumpy mountain road, you can stay in Chengdu City, and return to Chang'an after the Sichuan and Shu affairs are over, or you can go to Bajun with me!"

Are you kidding? If you stay in Chengdu City, how long can this official be in office?

Of course, the ministers can't say that they don't want to stay in Chengdu City, if so, they are afraid that they will gradually fall out of favor in the future, and this career will come to an end, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister must be maintained, they are the ministers who accompany the driver, and they have to follow the emperor wherever he goes, and they can't leave a bad impression in the emperor's heart.

The next day, Zhao Junsheng only took 1,000 Longwei troops and 2,000 cavalry and ministers to Ba County, and the other soldiers and horses stayed in Chengdu City, and Su Ji was in charge of military affairs, and Li Song was in charge of government affairs.

During the Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties, the administrative area of Ba County has been reduced a lot, but it is basically within the scope of present-day Chongqing, but its seat of governance is still in Jiangzhou, and it was not renamed Ba County until the Sui Dynasty.

The entire Sichuan and Shu regions have not been occupied by the cadres for a long time, and they are still in the period of military management at this time, and most of the officials appointed from Chang'an are still on the way at this time, and even the main officials of many counties and counties have not yet been appointed.

Duan Changyan, the commander in charge of the military and political affairs of Ba County, he is in charge of both the army and the people at this time, but he is just a rough man, and he can't manage government affairs at all, and his bad management of government affairs does not mean that he has lost control of Ba County's government affairs, but he manages those former Song officials who surrendered well, and no one can fool him.

At the beginning, Zhao Junsheng led the army to pursue the Song general Li Danbu, sent Yang Dayan to block his retreat in advance, and annihilated it in one fell swoop, and then sent a thousand-man team to the east, and the commander of the thousand soldiers with the troops was Duan Changyan.

Zhao Junsheng's original intention was only to let Duan Changyan lead his troops east to threaten Ba County, and never got the safety of the main force of the escort army in the eastern periphery, but he didn't expect Duan Changyan to march all the way to Jiangzhou with soldiers and horses, at that time Jiangzhou's garrison was empty, and he was unable to defend the city at all, and the officials in the city opened the city gate and surrendered after discussion.

Duan Changyan supervised these miscellaneous soldiers with 200 soldiers and horses to maintain law and order and city defense inside and outside Jiangzhou City, and then sent troops to attack the various county towns under the jurisdiction of Ba County. So they opened the door one after another, and Duan Changyan captured the entire Ba County with great ease.

Don't look at Duan Changyan is a rough man in the army, but the rough man has the shrewdness and small wisdom of the rough man, he used his own little wisdom to break up and reorganize all the defenders in the counties under the jurisdiction of Ba County, and then transferred the defense areas to each other, and sent the cadres and soldiers under his command to supervise, these former Song soldiers did not dare to act rashly, they could only be obedient.

At this time, the official road from Chengdu City to Jiangzhou City is not very easy to walk, after leaving Chengdu, the journey of the first three days is quite flat, Zhao Junsheng took the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and the march speed of 3,000 men and horses is quite fast, the daily march is more than 100 miles, but after three days, it begins to go over the mountains and mountains, the mountain road is high and low, up and down, and the second half of the journey took five days to complete.

A messenger had already sent the news to the Taishou Mansion of Ba County in Jiangzhou, and Duan Changyan immediately called the officials to arrange the escort after receiving the news.

When Zhao Junsheng and the civil and military officials and the accompanying escort army arrived outside the city of Jiangzhou, Duan Changyan took the main officials of the Ba County Taishou Mansion and the county government and the people in the city out of the city to meet them.

Yang Lie said to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, Duan Changyan has brought officials and ordinary people to greet him!" It seems that this period of Changyan has managed Ba County and Jiangzhou quite well, and it is difficult for him to do such meticulous work as a rough man in the army, but I am afraid that he will rack his brains and be so distressed that he will scratch off a lot of hair! ”

"Hahaha······" Zhao Junsheng laughed and stopped, since Duan Changyan brought someone to greet him, he didn't need to go any further.

Duan Changyan led the officials over and bowed down: "The last general, Duan Changyan, led 36 officials and officials of the Taishou Mansion and the county government of Ba County and the people of the whole city to welcome Your Majesty!" ”

"Greetings to Your Majesty—" The officials and civilians knelt on the ground.

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "All the officials and people are all flat!" ”

Under the leadership of Duan Changyan, the officials all got up, but the people were still kneeling, and in front of the emperor, they had no right to stand at all.

Duan Changyan said: "Your Majesty, the last general has ordered people to prepare a palace in the city, and the accompanying ministers and ministers also have housing, and there are large houses around the palace for the soldiers who escort the royal car to camp, and they can undertake the escort task nearby, and the men in the army can make their own fires and make meals, which is very convenient!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "You guy is not dull-minded, he thinks very thoughtfully!" ”

Duan Changyan scratched his cheeks, and had a very shy expression when he was praised by others, "Your Majesty has praised it falsely, how can the last general have such a brain, it is all the ideas and suggestions of the officials under his command, and the last general will adopt it if he thinks it is feasible!" ”

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand and said, "Okay, since General Duan is ready, I will be disrespectful!" Let's go, let's go into town! ”

Li Bao, the general of the Dragon Guard, immediately waved to his two generals, and the two immediately entered the city with their men and horses, with the intention of exploring the road and reconnoitring, and secondly, to search the houses and streets and alleys inside and around the palace first, to eliminate potential safety hazards, and then arrange guards and sentry posts to prohibit strangers from approaching.

After Zhao Junsheng and the ministers entered the city, they were tired because of the continuous march, so they ordered a two-day rest.

In the past two days, Duan Changyan reported to Zhao Junsheng about the situation in Ba County, which is much better than other areas in Sichuan and Shu, basically there is no disaster, many displaced people have poured in here to receive relief, and now the famine has passed, Ba County still has food to support these displaced people to return to their hometowns to rebuild their homes.

After listening to Duan Changyan's report, Zhao Junsheng said: "You have done a very good job during this time in Jiangzhou, and then the Taishou Mansion of Ba County will send people to publicize to the displaced people in various counties that the famine has passed, and the government will subsidize food for them to return to their hometowns to resume production as soon as possible, and the government on your side should come up with a plan to distribute food to the displaced people as soon as possible, and evacuate these displaced people as soon as possible, so that the pressure in Ba County can also be reduced!" With so many displaced people gathered here, it is a huge threat to the rear of Lu Shuang's army, and it must be evacuated as soon as possible, and this matter must be taken as a top priority! ”

Duan Changyan bowed down and agreed: "No, the last general will definitely let his officials start to work as soon as possible, evacuate the displaced people as soon as possible, and let them return to their hometowns to resume production!" ”

The emperor personally sat here, and the officials of Ba County competed to perform in front of the emperor, so they worked hard one by one, and the efficiency was several times faster than in the past.

However, on the third day, food, clothing, and other supplies were prepared to support the return of the displaced people to their hometowns and resume production, and from the fourth day, the counties distributed them to the displaced people and arranged for personnel to escort them back to their homes.
