In the quarrel of the southern monarchs, they decided to send troops to the Northern Expedition, taking advantage of the Yan army's successive campaigns, to inflict heavy losses on the Yan and Song dynasties, and seize the vast territory of the Yan and Song dynasties.

In the north, the courtiers of the Yan Song Emperor did not realize that the disaster was coming.

Lin Feng escorted the captives, money and food, sent spies to reconnoiter the route, and the squad returned to the court, still on the way to Yanjing City.

Zhao Hongru, Zhao Jun, Bai Yisheng, Li Lin, stayed in the Song State according to the order of the monarch, annexed the territory of the Song State, captured the empress, and completely solved the hidden dangers caused by the Song State.

At this time, Bai Yisheng and Li Lin led the army to stay in Kaifeng City.

According to Lin Feng's order before leaving, they should build a pontoon bridge in Heyang, lead the troops to Heyang City, and capture the empress alive.

It's a pity that after several days, they still stay in Kaifeng and have not left.

Either they refused to fight in all directions, or they cheated and cheated, all because the people of the Song State gathered people to resist, sabotaged the Yan army's offensive, and caused serious injuries to the Yan army.

Bai Yisheng and Li Lin were the only ones who stayed in Kaifeng and took the lead in stabilizing Kaifeng City.

They adopted a strategy of combining rigidity and softness, sending soldiers to capture the rebellion in the city. Those who spread rumors will take strong measures and kill the people in the city. Adopt the Huairou strategy, distribute food, and repair houses destroyed by war.

In addition, promote the prestige in Kaifeng City, assist in the governance of the city, and strive to stabilize the people in the city. Prevent the people from rebelling. Unveiled and raised.

Unfortunately, things are far from being as simple as they imagined.

The big families in the city were sent by Lin Feng to raid their homes and escort them all to Yanjing City. However, the middle-level families in the city are still doing things.

These middle-level families, who may have been instructed by the empress, may have the heart of loyalty to the monarch and serve the country, secretly provoke the people, and be hostile to the Yan army.

These innocent people were full of hatred for the Yan army, and when the city was cut off from drinking water, many people died due to lack of water.

In addition, foreign enemies. Fight to the death.

At the beginning, the weak body did not help the court to defend Kaifeng, and now, everyone is gradually recovering, and the Yan army appears in the city.

Bewitched by the merchants and landlords, there are many people who rebel in the city.

Therefore, despite Bai Yisheng, Li Lin implemented a policy of combining rigidity and softness in order to quell the troubles in the city, selected famous people from the Song State, and governed the areas occupied by the Yan army.

Unfortunately, the main force of the Yan army gradually withdrew, leaving a small number of garrisons, which was difficult to deter the hostile people of the Song State.

Everywhere the Yan army occupied the area, and the people continued to fight.

Li Lin, Bai Yisheng sent soldiers to build a pontoon bridge in Heyang, wanting to go to Heyang City, capture the empress, Song Qi, Jian Ye and others, completely annex the Song State, and the commanders of the garrisons in various places frequently sent back the people's protest military reports, which greatly restrained Bai Yisheng and Li Lin to conquer the south.

With this, Yan rode near Kaifeng, expanded the patrol range, and successively captured the secret agents sent by the empress to Jiangbei.

Those, who were never captured, went to the north of Heyang to infiltrate the land occupied by the Yan army, instigated the people to resist, expelled the Yan army, and recovered the land occupied by the Yan army.

For a while, where the Yan army was stationed, the people of the Song State raised troops to fight in full swing. Unlike the regular army, which can contain the main force of the Yan army, such a small fight still poses a heavy threat to the Yan army.

Those merchant landlords, with villages, cottages, and families as the core, chose steep places, built fortresses, stockades, and formed tight defenses to form independent small kingdoms. Not controlled by the Yan Army.

To Bai Yisheng, Li Lin promulgated a policy and refused to implement it.

On the contrary, they sent young and strong laborers, carried improvised soldiers, and attacked the Yan army camp at night.

There are even merchants who spend gold and silver to recruit rangers who go to various places, assassinate the garrison commander, and kill the soldiers.

Those young and strong laborers made a successful surprise attack, and quickly withdrew to the fortress, the stockade.

In addition to the pursuit and killing, the Yan army can kill the rebels, and in the counterinsurgency, often because of the rebel cottages, fortresses, and steep terrain, the other party can not hold out with the help of strict defense, and often return in vain.

In this way, the people of the Song State paid a heavy price in the destruction of the Yan army camp, and also caused a lot of problems to the Yan army, and there were often incidents in which the Yan army was killed, the grain and grass were burned, and the commander was executed.

For a while, in the area controlled by the Yan army, people were panicked and protected themselves.

Kaifeng City, Bai Yisheng. Li Lin successively received news from the commanders of the garrisons in various places, and realized that the early implementation strategy had not been recognized by the people, but had made the situation more and more dangerous.

As the supreme governor of Kaifeng, Bai Yisheng is in charge of military affairs, and Li Lin is in charge of government affairs. The fighting spirit of the garrisons in each city will gradually fade and the casualties will increase. Even more than half of it was lost.

BAI Yisheng. Li Lin, with anger in his heart, had to take the matter seriously in order to solve the people's resistance.

As a general, Bai Yisheng proposed to use iron-blooded means, one person broke the law, the whole family sat together, and there was no forgiveness for those who resisted, killing to stop killing, and blood for blood.

With the terrifying atmosphere, it shocked the people of the Song Kingdom and tried to protect Kaifeng.

However, Li Lin believes that the reason why the people of the Song Kingdom resisted, in addition to vainly trying to return to the country, was probably also afraid of the Yan army, for fear of killing the innocent people of the Yan army.

If cold-blooded and ruthless measures are adopted at present, it cannot help but be unable to quell the rebellion of the people of the Song State, and will force the people of the Song State to take up arms and rebel.

If the people of various places rebelled on a large scale against the Yan army, it would not only be unfavorable to the rule of the Song State, but also the conspiracy of the empress.

According to the national policy of the Song State, Li Lin proposed that the empress should focus on commerce and agriculture, go all out to expand commerce, and enhance the national strength of the Song State with the strength of the big landlords, and also enhance the strength of the powerful businessmen.

As a result, the number of powerful and powerful businessmen increased day by day, monopolizing commerce, wealthy landlords, and occupying countless lands.

For a time, in the Song Dynasty, the military aristocracy with great military achievements, the unruly giant clan tyrants, and the wealthy merchants and chaebols rose rapidly, forming three important forces.

These rich people possessed a lot of wealth, land, and many slaves and maids, and lived in luxury. Seriously affects agriculture.

With this, crazy annexation of land. He forced many people to go bankrupt and go into exile.

caused a serious gap between the rich and the poor, although the Song dynasty tried to calm the internal contradictions of the Song State, it only temporarily calmed the contradictions. Li Lin proposed to Bai Yisheng to adopt policies to protect the rights and interests of the people. Advocate fairness and justice, restrain the strong, oppose the strong and extravagant, and emphasize agriculture and suppress business.

At the same time, the emperor captured the wealth of the wealthy family, the tyrants of the giant clan, and occupied the fertile land, redivided and divided it to the people who lost the fertile land.

Strive to absorb the barren people and isolate the rebels against the Yan army, so that the rebels can be easily arrested, and the contradictions between the Yan and Song dynasties will gradually be eliminated.

After thinking about it, Bai Yisheng recognized Li Lin's suggestion, did not hesitate, and promoted it according to Li Lin's strategy, re-divided the land, and changed the resistance of the people of the Song Dynasty.

Bai Yisheng, Li Lin suspended the campaign and concentrated on counterinsurgency.

With this, thousands of miles away, Meng Kuo, Guo Wanjun led the mechanical army to Yanjing.

On the way, it was constantly blocked by the garrison of the city-state of Yan, and the troops were constantly consumed.

At the same time, Meng Kuo and Guo Wanjun received a military report from the secret agent, and learned that the defense of Kaifeng was over, and the imperial capital changed hands in the onslaught of the Yan army.

The empress, Song Qi, Jian Ye escaped by luck, Meng Kuo, Guo Wanjun sighed in the sky, and couldn't help but bow to the east.

In addition, the imperial city was lost, the emperor fled to, the future of the Song State was confused, Meng Kuo was at a loss, it was difficult to decide, I didn't know whether to continue to lead tens of millions of Yanjing, or quickly turn back, lead the troops to Heyang City, and join the empress and others.

Yanjing, Zhang Yu's army was heavily damaged by the Song army, the main force of the Yan army was outside, taking advantage of the emptiness of Yanjing, he returned an eye for an eye with a tooth for a tooth, and also captured Yanjing.

What's more, going to Yanjing City is ordered by the empress.

However, time has passed, Kaifeng City is forced, and if Emperor Yan leads the Yan army to continue southward and pursue the empress, it is difficult to ensure that the empress is worry-free with the defenders of Heyang City alone.

Even if Emperor Yan led his troops to evacuate and sent a small number of soldiers to pursue bravely, it still caused a very serious disaster to the empress.

However, after pondering for a long time, Song Qi still decided to go to Yanjing.

According to the content of the letter, the empress fled to Heyang City for some time, but there was no order to go to Heyang City for a long time/

In addition, the Yan army captured Kaifeng, which was equivalent to destroying the Song State, if he did not lead the troops to storm the city of Yanjing and deal a heavy blow to the Yan army, how to dispel the arrogance of the Yan army.

Almost without hesitation, Meng Kuo and Guo Wanshan led the troops to continue going.

After two days of rapid marching, the spies flew again to report, and Emperor Yan led his troops back from Kaifeng City, and it seemed that he had already known that the Song army was attacking and wanted to capture Yanjing City.

Learned of Emperor Yan's movements. Meng Kuo was really nervous, Emperor Yan led the troops back, and there was not much time left for him.

If you can't rush to Yanjing City before the return of the Yan army, dare to go to Yanjing City, capture or even hit hard, it will inevitably cause a crisis for the Song army.

When the adjutant general Guo Wanjun learned of the Yan army's movements, he was suddenly frightened, for fear that the Yan army would rush ahead of the Song army and rush back to Yanjing City in advance.

When there was silence, Guo Wanjun said to Meng Kuo: "General, the Yan army has returned from the east and returned to Beijing quickly, even if we arrive at Yanjing City in advance and launch an attack, if we capture Yanjing City, it is fine, if we can't capture Yanjing City, we can only evacuate in a hurry, the last general proposed, the last general will find Xiongguan, temporarily block the Yan army, and the marshal personally led the troops to Yanjing City, and strive to conquer Yanjing and avenge the blood sea."

Hearing the sound, Song Qi's mind fell into contemplation, he had more than 80,000 soldiers under his command, and the confrontation with hundreds of thousands of Yan troops was already overstretched, if the soldiers were divided into two ways, against the Yan army, attacking Yanjing, blocking the Yan army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to execute.

After being silent for a long time, Meng Kuo was still firm in his thoughts, and wanted to lead the troops to Yanjing, and said: "There is no need to divide the troops into two routes, we will go to Yanjing, and the Shu army will also go to Yanjing, as long as the Shu Song army arrives in Yanjing City, even if Emperor Yan leads the troops back triumphantly, we still have a chance to capture Yanjing City."

However, Guo Wanjun's face was suspicious, and he asked suspiciously: "Dashuai, Shu likes to bully the weak, if you learn that the Yan army has returned triumphantly, the Shu Emperor will order the troops to evacuate, so we will lead the troops to Yanjing City, and there is no difference between the moth fighting the fire and killing itself."

"Ben Shuai knows the character of Emperor Shu, so, General Guo, you must go to Shu to try to lobby Emperor Shu and jointly send troops." Meng Kuo said coldly.
