Li Mengchang, who sent the envoy to the Song Kingdom to deliver the message, soon returned, however, the outcome of the matter was biased from what Lin Feng and others had expected in advance.

On Li Mengchang's way to the Song Kingdom, the Song Kingdom actually went off the rails, besieged the Tiger Gate on the surface, but secretly dug a tunnel, sneaked deep into the Tiger Gate Pass, opened the car door, not only conquered the Tiger Gate Pass, but also almost captured the famous Jin State General Mu Xiaotian.

When Li Mengchang arrived in the Song Kingdom, the Song people Huaiyang County increased by 100,000, and joined forces with the former army to conquer the Jin State Anyi, the two major counties of Liyang and the thirteen prefectures, the speed was almost like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, almost equivalent to eliminating the two Yan States in a few days.

Now 200,000 troops have gathered, and the troops are directly aimed at Shaoyang County, the richest county in the Jin Kingdom.

The territory of the Jin Kingdom determines the importance of Shaoyang County, which is like a gourd, and Shaoyang County is the junction of the center of the gourd.

Once Shaoyang County is breached, the east and west ends of the Jin Kingdom will lose contact, and the large area in the west, one-third of the territory area, the eleven counties will all be lost, that is, there is no loss, without the throat of Shaoyang County, the east and west sides of the Jin Kingdom will lose contact.

Although a large area of eastern Jin is more fertile, it is the main control area of the Jin state, and the absence of Shaoliang County means that the Jin state has lost communication with the vassal states and will be limited to the eastern Jin region, and if it wants to rise again, it must recapture Shaoyang County.

Therefore, when the Song army arrived in Shaoyang County, all the main forces of western Jin went to relief, and the eastern Jin region was also increasing troops.

Li Mengchang bowed to the empress and made his intentions clear, but unfortunately now the Song army is in full swing, and the capture of Shaoyang County is just around the corner. Rao is Li Mengchang has a three-inch tongue, and the court of the Song State still insists on besieging Zheng and attacking Jin, preparing to capture a large area in the central and southern part of the Jin State in one fell swoop.

In desperation, Li Mengchang secretly visited several important ministers of the Song Kingdom, but the other party still did not change his mind, and said that the Song Kingdom had been dormant for five years, and if it did not make a sound, it would definitely alarm the world.

If it weren't for Yan Guo taking the initiative to invite Song Guo to send troops, otherwise, Song Guo would have no excuse for the time being, and the empress had already made up her mind, and she would definitely not be able to change it.

couldn't change the empress's mind, and was ridiculed by Song Chen, and Li Mengchang returned to Yan in frustration.

What happened to Li Mengchang in the Song Kingdom, Lin Feng didn't know. But not long after Li Mengchang sent an envoy to the Song Kingdom, Lin Feng received a military report from Feng Shihu and had learned about the situation.

In Huguan, without waiting for Feng Shihu and Zhang Yu to converge, Mao'an led 100,000 cavalry south to resist the Song Dynasty, and almost all the defenses in the northern region of the Jin Kingdom were lost. Except for a few private soldiers in the prefectures and counties, there are few armed forces in the prefectures and provinces.

When Lin Feng's order was sent, the battle situation was completely different, Zhang Feng and the others, who were in the same place, felt that the battle situation was fleeting, and the north of Jin was empty, so why not seize the opportunity.

The two led the army to capture Fengzhou first, then occupy Fenzhou, and descended from the northwest to attack a large area of fertile land in the Jin Kingdom.

After that, Lin Feng made timely adjustments according to the situation, and after completely occupying the northern Jin region, he directly attacked Shaoliang County, the largest county in the western part of the Jin Kingdom.

In order to ensure that the troops were foolproof, he specially ordered the Marquis of Dingguo, Lin Xiao, to lead 30,000 new soldiers to Raozhou, attack it from the southwest, and try to converge with Zhang Yu and Feng Shihu from the northwest.

At first, Lin Feng didn't have such ambitions, after all, the Yan State was too small, and the country was too weak to shake the Jin State, so how could he dare to attack the Jin State from the east.

Since the Song State attacked Shaoyang County, the situation of the war has changed greatly, and it has begun to tilt in favor of the Yan State.

Thinking of the land of western Jin, most of them are the homeland of Yan State, and when the two countries of Song and Zheng in the south are in a state of stalemate, why not regain their homeland, although they can't be like the Song Kingdom, whales swallow cattle and drink, but eat some small fish and shrimp, he is also very satisfied

Finish.

With the development of the Jin war, after the Song State captured a large area of Shaoyang County, it noticed that the resistance of the Jin army was becoming more and more stubborn, and stationed 150,000 troops in Shaoyang County, besieging but not attacking.

Divided 100,000 troops, turned around and broke into Shaoliang County, which was being attacked by Yan State, and the surrounding Nanyang County, and wantonly attacked the city and plundered the land, and the tactics were disorderly.

In just half a month, the entire eastern Jin region, except for Hengyang County in the north, which has not suffered from the war, a large area fell into the first place of the Song State, so that the Song State added four new counties in less than three months, and if Shaoyang County was captured, the results would be greater.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhao had a large territory outside the country, the Song State would have been able to compete with Zhao in terms of land area alone.

This made Lin Feng in the palace completely uncalm, and originally planned to weaken the Zheng and Jin countries and reduce the pressure on the periphery, however, after the Song State seized part of Shaoliang County, the territory bordered the Yan State.

This land is not like the land of Yanxi, there are hundreds of miles of Cangyan Mountain, and there are more than ten small countries, separating Yan and Zhao.

If the Song State suddenly exerts its strength against the Yan State after occupying Shaoliang County, Nanyang County, and Hengyang County, the Yan State may not have the ability to stop the Song State's overwhelming troops.

Facing the two great powers of Zhao and Song, Yan Guo was like a dwarf, but there were two giants standing beside him, and the sunlight he needed to survive was blocked.

In his memory, the later dynasty was called the Song Dynasty, and it was mainly infantry, but the combat power of the two was almost incompatible.

He didn't understand, the same infantry, the same cavalry, the iron cavalry and the tiger army fought a difficult battle, and it took a flood to defeat the enemy.

The infantry of the Song Kingdom, when the number was small at the beginning of the war, 100,000 infantry and mechanical soldiers successfully defeated the 150,000 cavalry under Mu Xiaotian, and later they were like rabbits, and their speed was unbelievable.

What he could hardly accept was that Li Mengchang sent an envoy to the Song State, and the Song army of 200,000 people occupied Fuyang County and Longshou County in the southern Jinnan region in less than a month, and the two counties were all thousands of miles of fertile land, each of which was equivalent to the area of a province in the east of the later generations.

Now, he wanted to figure out one thing, how did the Song army march, didn't he sleep? But in this way, if you march day and night, you may not be able to fight continuously, and you must have limited physical strength.

In order to find out about this matter, Lin Feng specially summoned Li Mengchang when discussing the military situation, this guy has been to the Song Kingdom, and he should know more or less about the situation in the Song Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, when the minister was in the Song Kingdom, I heard that in the Song Kingdom Shenji Camp, there was a kind of transportation called pulley, which only needed ten old horses and ten coolies to drive each time, and it could carry as many as 100 people and travel 500 miles a day." Li Mengchang recounted to Lin Feng what he had seen and heard in the Song Kingdom.

Lute, Lin Feng thought when he heard it, it was definitely not the kind of pulley that was favored by later generations, that thing could not carry people.

What the hell is the pulley of the Song Kingdom, Lin Feng is not a person who has never seen the world, he has seen a lot of transportation weapons in later generations, but now he can't imagine what the shape of the Song Kingdom's pulley is.

"Ladies and gentlemen, is there really such a thing?" Lin Feng asked rhetorically.

"Your Majesty, the Song people are good at business, good at kitsch and lewd skills, although the ministers have never seen a pulley, but in the Song State Shenji Battalion, the mechanical soldiers made out really made a vassal country frightened, and this kind of skill is also mastered by the Song State." Zhao Shide said that he often came into contact with merchants from various countries and had heard about the ability of the Song State Shenji Battalion.

"Even if the Song State has a pulley and travels 500 miles a day, hundreds of thousands of troops can't follow this kind of pulley to cross the state and county, it's crazy." Lin Feng walked back and forth in the warm pavilion, and in his previous subconscious, he always thought that even if the Song State was considered one of the top ten princely powers, it was also a second-rate country among them.

Seeing the performance of the Song army on the land of the Jin Kingdom, he was deeply shocked that there was a fierce tiger nesting next to the Yan Kingdom, but it was disguised as a cat, and now it showed its claws, so that everyone realized that this docile animal broke out and wanted people's lives.

"Your Majesty, the strength of the Song army does not rely on kitsch and lewd skills, as far as the ministers know, the soldiers of the Song army, from the generals to the pawns, all do not need to pay taxes, do not need to plough the fields, do not need to consider armored horses, and do not need to worry about their livelihood.

Once you join the army, you will be paid handsomely every month, and when war breaks out, the imperial court will reward you for your meritorious deeds, and if you die in battle, your family will receive generous compensation.

Perhaps because the Song army trained in peacetime and rewarded meritorious deeds in wartime, the military talents had extraordinary combat effectiveness. And this kind of soldier, an ordinary country, even a superpower like Zhao State, can't afford to support it. Only the Song State, with the rich returns brought by merchants, could support more than 300,000 elite soldiers. Situ explained in detail.

"Holy, professional soldier!" When Lin Feng heard this, he was shocked in his heart, a professional soldier, this was the first thing he could think of. According to Situ's account, the Song State should have raised a group of professional soldiers, professional soldiers who only fought for war all their lives.

If the Song State really raised more than 300,000 professional soldiers, all kinds of performances on the land of the Jin Kingdom could almost explain the past. Contacting Song Guo's recent performance, Lin Feng thought that it was necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of this mysterious country, otherwise, he would not know how he would die at that time.

At the beginning of the summer, news came from the Song State that the fighting in the north was stopped, and the two sides raised troops to the south and attacked Zheng together.

Lin Feng was very unhappy about the empress's commanding letter, especially when he thought of the war in the north, he became more and more unhappy in his heart.

The Song State occupied a large number of soldiers, not only quickly took Hengyang County, Nanyang County, but also broke into Shaoliang County, with lightning speed, quickly occupied most of Shaoliang County, this time the army.

Although Shaoliang County was the largest prefecture in the eastern Jin region, the Song State captured the seven counties of the Jin State in this war, and occupied most of Shaoliang County and Shaoyang County successively.

Nine counties in the east of Jin, the Song State occupied eight, and the Yan army captured Anqing County and Guangyuan County in the north of Jin, as well as most of Shaoliang County, imagining these, Lin Feng only gritted his teeth with hatred, and even the Song Dynasty attacked Jin, it was simply making a wedding dress for others.

He believed that if it weren't for the Liangming Pass that Zhu Hai was defending, it was the first dangerous pass in the north of Pishan, and it was difficult to shake it from the east, and according to the cunning of the Song State, he would definitely abandon the Yan State and attack Zheng alone.

However, in the face of the empress's letter, he couldn't help but send troops, and now the east of the Song State directly borders the Yan State, annoying the other party, and the army that has not yet evacuated has poured into the Yan State in one go, but it is a disaster to destroy the country!

Besides, the state capital that occupies Zheng in the south is fertile, but in military terms, it is not very good, unless the strength of Zheng Guo in Huainan Province is completely eliminated.

Otherwise, if the Song army is allowed to conquer it, the south of Yan State also borders on Song State, and things will be big.
