3. Trip to Guangdong 5

Wanyan Chen monk shook his head and said: "From Luzhou to Nanyang, there is a distance of seven or eight hundred miles, if it is in normal times, it will take five or six days, and now the rain does not know when it will stop, if it keeps falling like this, if you want to rush to Nanyang, I am afraid it will take ten days, but I am afraid it will be too late." ”

Wan Yan Changzhi said: "You are right, it is indeed too late to rush to Nanyang now." So do you have any good advice no? ”

Monk Wanyan Chen said: "I think it is better to concentrate the men and horses on Huaixi Road and attack Huangzhou with all our might." Once Huangzhou can be captured, it can take Xinyang Mansion in the north, threaten Xiangyang, and take the Hanyang army in the south to threaten Ezhou. Therefore, Li Xianzhong will definitely not sit idly by, and will definitely return to the army to rescue him, so that the danger of Nanyang can naturally be solved. ”

Wanyan Changzhi pondered for a moment and said, "Monk Chen, although your method can temporarily relieve the danger of Nanyang, as long as the Song army holds the Xinyang and Hanyang armies, it will be difficult for our army to continue to advance. Moreover, Huangzhou is bordered by Dabie Mountain on the right and the Yangtze River on the left, as soon as Li Xianzhong returns to Xinyang and enters Gwangju, he can cut off our rear road, and then the Song army will attack from the north and south, and we will be in danger of annihilation. ”

Monk Wanyan Chen thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and said, "Do you have any other way?" ”

Wanyan Changzhi pointed to the map and said, "Monk Chen, you immediately took 10,000 horses and horses to rescue Nanyang, and after arriving in Gwangju, immediately turned south and attacked Huangzhou." As soon as Li Xianzhong returned to the army to rescue, he held Gwangju and confronted Li Xianzhong. And I led a large army from Luzhou to march west along the Yangtze River and attack Anqing Mansion and Qizhou. In this way, the three counties of Jiangbei can be captured in one fell swoop. ”

Monk Wanyan Chen was a little incomprehensible, and said: "In this way, we can take the three counties of Jiangbei in one fell swoop, but even if we take the three counties of Jiangbei, we will still stay in the place north of the Yangtze River, and we will still not be able to cross south." ”

Now only the three counties of Huangzhou, Qizhou and Anqing are still in the hands of the Song army. However, these three counties were all north of the Yangtze River, so the Song army did not set up heavy guards. Because these three counties were separated from the place occupied by the Jin State by a Dabie Mountain, the Jin army did not attack it for a while.

Wan Yan Changzhi said: "After the capture of the three counties, then the area north of the Jianghuai will be occupied by my Dajin, if Sushi Lie Zhining can capture Chizhou, then the Song army's navy can be suppressed in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, so that the Song army's navy has no use." Second, from Anqing Mansion to Huangzhou, the Song army must set up a heavy army to defend six or seven hundred miles along the Yangtze River, and it will be firmly suppressed by us on the south bank of the Yangtze River. In this way, we can concentrate our men and horses and attack Xiangyang and other places on the north bank of the Yangtze River. ”

Monk Wanyan Chen suddenly realized and said, "Changzhi, your plan is too clever. That's how we go. ”

The next day, Wan Yan Chang ordered to transfer 5,000 men and horses from Luzhou, Gwangju and Lujiang, and then 3,000 men and horses from Shucheng to Lu'an, and prepare to divide the troops into two routes and attack the three counties of Jiangbei.

Yang Yan, Zhao Ruyu, Yue Lin, and Li Gongzuo were sitting on the third floor of the Xie Family Restaurant at this time, listening to the guys downstairs shouting the door singing the door number one after another.

Because every guest who comes is the owner and shopkeeper of a famous big business in Guangdong and even the whole south. Xie Yuanqing, the owner of the Xie Family Restaurant, was busy greeting the guests. Seats are assigned according to their age, seniority, and local influence in Guangdong.

Three days ago, he was entrusted by Yang Yan to gather merchants from Guangzhou at the Xie Family Restaurant to discuss donating to the imperial court to fight against the Jin army. After all, Xie Yuanqing still has a lot of influence in the business community in the entire south, and now Yang Yan is also quite prestigious in Guangzhou, and Yang Yan has also repeatedly emphasized that whether to donate or how much to donate at this meeting is voluntary and never forced, so many people still responded to Xie Yuanqing's call and came to participate.

Zhao Ruyu showed through the crack in the window and looked downstairs, and there were almost more than 100 businesses and shops in Yijing, plus the accompanying personnel, and twenty-four tables were placed on the second floor of the Xie Family Restaurant, almost all of which were full.

Zhao Ruyu turned around and said, "There are a lot of people here, but how many people are willing to help the imperial court?" But it's hard to say? ”

Yue Lin said: "According to the lower officials' thoughts, for the sake of Yang Yuma's face, they may not be generous. ”

Zhao Ruyu still shook his head and said: "Xia Guan thought about it carefully yesterday, speaking of which, Yang Juma has great kindness to those merchants, but businessmen are all people who value profit over righteousness, and they may not remember the kindness of the concubine to them. ”

Yang Yan smiled slightly, and said, "We will do our best, obey the destiny of heaven, and we can't force it, that's it." ”

A few people were talking, when Xie Yuanqing walked upstairs and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone is almost here, you can start." ”

Yang Yan nodded, and said to Zhao Rulin, Yue Lin, and Li Gongzuo: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's go down." ”

Several people followed Xie Yuanqing down the stairs, came to the second floor, and sat down at a round table in the main seat. He was accompanied by several other presidents of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, Shi Fu, Cai Jianfang, Zou Xuping and Ding Kui. When all the merchants who sat down saw them come out, they all stood up, saluted them, and said, "See your lords." ”

Yang Yan got up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't be polite, everyone is a famous gentleman in Guangdong, this time I can take the time to come to the meeting, this official is very grateful, everyone sit down and speak." ”

When they heard this, they all thanked each other, and then sat down.

Yang Yan said: "This time, the official invited you to come, and the intention may be clear to everyone." But I still want to retell it. Now the Jin people invaded the Great Song Dynasty, the country is in danger, the current emperor succeeded to the throne in Tianlin Mansion, determined to fight to the death with the Jin people, protect the Great Song Dynasty, the soldiers fought bloody battles on the front line, but also to protect their homeland and relatives. But the war was protracted, the court lacked money and food, and the army lacked grain and grass. All of you here are Guangdong merchants, and your families also have some savings, I just hope that you can do your best, have money to contribute, have grain to pay, and make a strong contribution to the Great Song Dynasty and the imperial court. ”
