At the same time when Niu Gao and Yang Zaixing led reinforcements into the famous city, news also came from Suzhou and Sizhou in the south, Han Shizhong took the lead in defeating the 20,000 Qi army in Suzhou, and then turned south, and Liu Guangshi pinched the 20,000 Qi army in Sizhou, the enemy's main general Fan Qiong saw that the situation was not good, and led the 20,000 army to retreat north in a panic, and was ambushed by Han Shizhong's army, the Qi army was defeated, and Fan Qiong led thousands of remnants of the army to break through and escape, fleeing in the direction of Bianjing.

Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi were not in a hurry to catch up, and after a day of reorganizing their army, they continued to march towards Bianjing.

At this time, Li Yanqing was on the way to march with an army of 90,000 to Jeju, and the army marched relatively low-key, and two days later, the army arrived in Juye County, Jeju, and established a logistics base in Juye County.

At night, a fleet of ships sailed in from Liangshanbo, entered the Wuzhang River, and anchored at the wharf where Liu Yi's army had been completely annihilated.

Li Yanqing had already sent someone into the lake to deliver the news to them, the regent of the Jianguo Kingdom had arrived in person, of course, it was an opportunity for them, Zhang Rong decided to come to meet the regent without hesitation, Shi Xiu also asked to come with him, in contrast, Liu Tang was very hesitant, he finally decided to follow Zhang Rong to meet Li Yanqing when Zhang Rong got on the boat.

Liu Tang has his concerns to understand, Li Yanqing followed the seed master to encircle and suppress the Liangshan army, and made a great contribution to the final extermination of the Liangshan army by the imperial court, and Tong Guan just picked the peaches of the seed master and Li Yanqing, so in the hearts of the Liangshan generals, the Liangshan army was defeated in the hands of the seed master and Li Yanqing, not Tong Guan, so Liu Tang will have some resistance in his heart.

Not long after, the three came to the Song army camp outside Juye County, at this time the Song army camp has not been completed, thousands of soldiers are building a wall, the three came to the camp gate to explain the situation, immediately there are soldiers to report for them, not long after, the main Bo Cao Ye to the camp to meet them.

"In the lower lord Bo Cao Ye, the marshal is discussing military affairs, and the three generals please come with me."

The three of them glanced at each other, followed Cao Ye into the barracks, and soon came to the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Rong asked Cao Ye in a low voice, "What should we call His Royal Highness the Regent?" ”

Cao Ye smiled slightly, "You are already a member of the Song generals, you can call him Dushuai, and everyone in the army calls him that." ”

"I see!"

When they came to the door of the big tent, they saw that Li Yanqing with Wang Gui, Cao Meng and other generals were already waiting for them in front of the tent door, Zhang Rong saw Li Yanqing, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "Humble Zhang Rong see Du Shuai!" ”

At this time, Shi Xiu and Liu Tang also knelt down and saluted, Li Yanqing hurriedly stepped forward to help them up, and said with a smile: "The three generals are exempt, I have heard the names of the three generals for a long time." ”

Zhang Rong hurriedly said: "Du Shuai's fame shocks the world, it is the well-being of the people of the world, and it is also the hope of the Great Song Dynasty, it is our honor to serve Du Shuai!" ”

Li Yanqing looked at the three of them and saw that Zhang Rong and Shi Xiu looked sincere, but Liu Tang's smile was a little reluctant, and he didn't care, so he introduced Wang Gui and Cao Meng to the three of them, and everyone immediately walked into the big tent.

In the middle of the big tent was the huge ceramic map, Zhang Rong and the three exclaimed, they had never seen such a map, it was simply lifelike and very intuitive.

"It took me three years to make it, and it will be of great help to the marching army, but it still needs experience to cooperate."

Li Yanqing picked up the wooden pole and pointed to Juye County, and then pointed to Xucheng County, Yunzhou, two hundred miles away, and smiled at the three of them: "For example, I can see these two counties very clearly, there are official roads connecting these two cities, but what is the terrain on both sides of the official road, and whether the official road is suitable for cavalry marching, I can't see these on the map, and I have to ask experienced people, such as three!" ”

Zhang Rong laughed, "It is true, and it has changed a lot in the past two years, there was originally a vast forest near the lake in the north, but it was set on fire by Jin Bing half a month ago, and the entire forest of more than ten miles was destroyed in one fell swoop, which has a great impact on us, if Du Shuai asks a businessman who has recently come to Sucheng, he does not know that the forest has been burned, and this still needs to be explored by scouts." ”

Cao Meng's face was a little ugly, he just said that the woods, he could send troops to ambush there, but he didn't expect it to be burned.

Li Yanqing smiled and invited them to sit down again, "How is the situation of the army recently?" Li Yanqing asked with concern.

Zhang Rong sighed, "The Jin soldiers are frantically looting and burning in Yunzhou and Jinan Mansion, and many brothers' homes have been affected, and some brothers have left at night. ”

"How many deserters have appeared?" Wang Gui asked on the side, he knew very well what it meant to have deserters, it was a precursor to the collapse of the army's morale.

"There are about 300 people, and they have stabilized a little in the past few days, and there were no deserters yesterday."

"That's brewing a larger exodus!" Wang Gui unceremoniously debunked the illusion of so-called stability.

"What about the situation of the Jin Bing?" Li Yanqing diverted from the unpleasant topic caused by Wang Gui.

Zhang Rong glanced at Wang Gui angrily, and then said: "The situation of the Jin soldiers is very strange, they have not come out in the barracks these days, and they should be in the wheat harvest season, and the Jin soldiers are waiting for the people to harvest the grain, and then come out to grab the grain, it should be this reason, the grain they grabbed can only last for a month or two at most, and if they want to wait until the Yellow River freezes back in winter, they need a lot of food." ”

"Du Shuai, we should also take the initiative to attack!" Wang Gui still insisted on his plan.

Li Yanqing didn't answer, he came to the map, looked at the map with his hands in his hands, and pondered, at this time, the people in the tent came over and gathered around both sides of the map.

After pondering for a long time, Li Yanqing suddenly asked, "General Zhang, where do you think the weakness of this cavalry is?" ”

Zhang Rong was taken aback, he hurriedly looked to both sides, only to see Wang Gui nodding to himself, it turned out that he was really asking himself, this question is not easy to answer!

Zhang Rong thought for a while and said: "The weakness of this army is that it is too brutal, it is just a matter of grabbing food, and it also burns and kills adultery, which makes the people of Yunzhou angry, and such an army will not have results in the end." ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "You are talking about the branches and leaves, but you didn't talk about the roots, of course, this has something to do with your lack of intelligence." ”

Zhang Rong's face flushed, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "I am willing to listen to the teachings of Du Shuai!" ”

"I can't talk about teachings, let's talk about it!"

Li Yanqing smiled faintly and said to everyone: "The chief general of this army is called Wanyan Zonggan, he is the eldest son of Wanyan Aguta, the old wolf lord of the Jin Kingdom, who has been in the Jin Kingdom for many years, and only came to the Daimyo Mansion last year to serve as the chief general, I can tell you that this person is by no means a cruel person, and he has always constrained military discipline when he leads the troops, if he forcibly requisitions food because he is forced to do so, then he indulges the soldiers to burn and kill adultery on purpose." ”

"He's here to persecute us!" Liu Tang blurted out.

"That's right!" Li Yanqing smiled: "Didn't you have deserters?" This is the effect he wants, I believe that with time, the morale of the army will become more and more sluggish, and you will have to pull the army out to fight to the death with him, with the strength of 30,000 Jurchen cavalry, what do you think are the odds of victory? ”

Zhang Rong sighed slightly, "We will be wiped out!" ”

"But what if I let you come out and fight him?" Li Yanqing asked with a smile again.

Zhang Rong suddenly understood, "Du Shuai wants us to be bait to lure Jin Bing into the bait?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled and nodded, "That's exactly the truth!" ”

Cao Meng was a little worried: "Will Jin Bing know about our arrival?" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "Don't take the intelligence of the Jin soldiers so powerful, in fact, they are in the dark in the Central Plains, only relying on their powerful cavalry to rush around, no one will report the intelligence to them, we are fighting in the Central Plains, Wan Yan Xian who is far away in Yanshan Mansion may know, but this Jin soldier in Yunzhou does not know." ”

"But Wan Yan Xian will also tell him!" Wang Gui was a little unconvinced.

"How?" Li Yanqing asked rhetorically.

Wang Gui was dumbfounded, and Zhang Rong said cautiously: "I think that there is a carrier pigeon exchange between them and the Daimyo's Mansion. ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "I forgot to tell you, Yan Qing's army had already captured the Daimyo's Mansion ten days ago, and the Yellow River had been swept away and blocked by the Ruan brothers' naval army. ”

Zhang Rong was speechless for a long time, after Yan Qing led the army to leave, he actually did such a big thing, it was really unthinkable!

"Speaking of which, Yunzhou Jin Bing is really a smear."

"If the Jin soldiers knew that we were coming, the army would definitely go south, but they didn't move now, which means that the Jin soldiers didn't know that we were coming, this is our advantage, let's go to the west to set up a pocket and let them get in!"

Hearing about the cloth pocket, Cao Meng rubbed his hands excitedly, "It's like last time, I used a hundred earth-shattering thunder to blow up my mother." ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "This time we'll make a bigger pocket." ”

Speaking of this, an imperceptible trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, but this ruthlessness was captured by Liu Tang, and he trembled in his heart.
