The military order for Yan Yu to cross the river was issued this morning, but it was last night that Bai Xiaofei and Jiang Han's 100,000 troops had already crossed the river.

What is left now, in addition to the Ma army, is mainly General Chen's mechanized troops.

These behemoths had to be dismantled before they could be put on board, which took a full five days, so after Yan Yu whispered to Xiao Fei and Jiang Han that night, the 100,000 horses had already become the vanguard army and marched towards the Great Song territory in the north.

What can be done in five days.

In fact, nothing can be done in five days, this is for mechanized troops, but the most basic siege equipment, the most primitive thing, has become a siege weapon at this time.

It was said that it was a siege, but when Bai Xiaofei's headquarters did not send out a few flints or was struggling to find stones, one county seat after another opened the city.

The county commanders and county lieutenants were dressed in official mansions, holding two official seals and the money and food brought by the gentry and big families in the city, one after another, and everywhere Xiao Fei went, it could be said that he did not encounter any resistance at all.

No wonder Brother Na Yeyan Yu told me to take over the city, it turned out that his deep meaning was here.

The situation encountered by Jiang Han is basically similar to that of Xiao Fei, and he has now accepted fifteen cities, plus Xiao Fei's subordinates, and the thirty cities in Jiangbei have all returned to the Tang Dynasty.

When the news reached Jiangning, the civil and military forces in the city were very happy, but the only one was calmer, that was the emperor Li Yu, who was creating a new painting, when he heard the news, he just hummed lightly, and then continued to paint, when the inner servant withdrew from the hall with a puzzled face.

"What did you just say?"

However, the benefits of such news were not only the celebration of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military awards, but also the gentry and all kinds of people in the city celebrated this great military achievement.

The night restaurant is along the banks of the Qinhuai River all night long, the science and technology research and development center of the three imperial courts has recruited more than 2,000 people for this purpose, specifically for the research and development of new weapons, the military industry is extremely excited, the private economy is even more active, the original private capital of Datang has long been eager to try, to see who can be the first to settle in Jiangbei, just to make him a lot of money.

The thirty cities in Jiangbei are all in the hands of Yan Yu, whose credit is this, Yan Yu obviously attributed him to Bai Xiaofei and Jiang Han.

But is there no place for the mechanized troops in the back?

Yan Yu pondered this question carefully, and when the thousands of artillery pieces were transported across the border of Jiangbei, he knew the answer.

Yan Yu disorganized the 200,000 horses in his current department, and reported a secret letter to the Jiangning Imperial Court.

If the Great Song Dynasty is not destroyed, the ministers will not return to the court.

Don't mention what kind of pot such news is blowing up, but the imperial court did add another 100,000 elite soldiers to Yanyu, you know, this is all the family background of the Tang Dynasty.

In this way, the camp was attacked, and 300,000 soldiers and horses went all the way to the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty.

After three months.

The remaining 200,000 strong troops of Datang surrounded Bianliang City.

This was a bold decision, because the Tang army was not completely unhindered wherever he went.

You must know that at this time, Zhao Kuangyin's 200,000 strong army or the north has been fighting against the Khitans, and the 300,000 army that attacked the Southern Tang Dynasty has never returned. This creates a strategic defensive void.

The reason why Yan Yu was able to reach Bianliang within three months was, on the one hand, that Zhao Kuangyin underestimated the Tang army, believing that after this battle, even if it was defeated, it was far from being able to damage its vitality, and his 200,000 troops were about to achieve victory. And there are at least 100,000 strong troops in Bianliang City, plus the soldiers and horses of various state and county guards, it is not a problem to resist the Tang army, which has always been known for its defense.

Although he had also sent people to do some research on this prince who could fight well and even had the military strength of the Tang Kingdom, but in the rumors, which ones are true and which ones are false, it depends on what kind of news Red Sleeves Tian releases for them.

In these news, the words of weak temperament and indecision are used a lot, whether you believe it or not, I say it like this, if you say more, you will believe it, and Zhao Kuangyin will also believe it.

He was busy with the war in the north, but what he didn't expect was that at the beginning of the Great Song Dynasty, many places were not stable, the literati clan was unstable, and although the army was the core of his control, the people who had experienced all kinds of upheavals and wars in the five dynasties and ten countries were far from willing to fight at their doorstep.

The war has begun, and everyone understands the truth of jade burning together. Yan Yu also saw the emptiness in it, and in this matter, he knew that Red Sleeve Tim had made a great contribution.

Tokyo Bianliang, the country of the Great Song Dynasty.

Its majestic and majestic temperament is actually far more suitable for being the capital of an empire than Jiangning in the south.

There is no need to say much about the high city and the depth of the pool, but the only thing that makes Yan Yu still a little jealous is the 100,000 elite soldiers in the city.

Along the way, the states and counties that passed, either without spending a single soldier, issued a letter of persuasion to surrender, and the other side surrendered, or encountered some small resistance, without the need for infantry and horse troops, just a few cannons released by mechanized troops at will, which could scare away.

The defeat of the arrogant army is exactly what Yan Yu is most worried about now.

In the face of the 100,000 strong troops in the city, once the war starts, the two armies will face each other, and it is not about whose number is more and whose equipment is better. It is more warlike, able to fight, and the determination and will to win.

Yan Yu didn't want to drag it out, this would only make Zhao Kuangyin more soberly realize the mistake he had made, and it was an inevitable decision for any king to immediately return to the capital.

But whether 100,000 against 300,000 can win or not, Yan Yu seems a little unconfident. Especially when he saw the arrogant state in the army recently, he did hesitate.

Because to rectify the army's heart, it is by no means as simple as you think, if you just convey the order of the general can make people's hearts stable, this Bianliang City does not need to be attacked, and it is directly solved with the previous surrender routine.

When Bai Xiaofei told him who the commander of the city was, he didn't remember.

His energies should be focused entirely on the most crucial integration of all the necessary conditions for victory in this war.

Integrate all the necessary winning factors, no victory, impossible.

Yan Yu thought deeply, and even turned the horse's head directly, and the idea of returning to Jiangning hovered in his mind for a whole afternoon.

On one side is a war that cannot be delayed. On one side is the incomprehensible thoughts.

War? How to fight?

In his current state, he didn't fight, and he had already seen the results of defeat. Now that you see it, why do you need to fight again? Sacrifice your life in vain.

Just three days after the siege, a woman appeared in Yan Yu's Chinese army camp, she did not hide her identity, and directly entered the commander's camp, after that, Yan Yu sent away the guards and Yi Yingren, and the woman did not come out all night.
