Just as the military information of the Song army's seizure of the famous city reached Lin'an Mansion, Li Yanqing officially issued the Northern Expedition order as the regent of the prison state, and issued an impassioned document to the Great Song Dynasty to recover the homeland, counting the heinous crimes committed by the Jin soldiers, counting the bitter expectations of the Song army's Northern Expedition in the occupied areas, and calling on the righteous soldiers in the occupied areas to rise up against the cruel control of the Jin State and welcome the recovery army of the Great Song Dynasty.

Inspired by Li Yanqing's Guangfu Wen, the Central Plains and Hebei rebels revolted one after another, the five brothers of the Liu family, the most powerful anti-Jin rebel army in Taihang Mountain, led the army to capture Hejian Mansion, Xiangzhou Zhang Peng led thousands of people to occupy Anyang County, and Li Miao, who was originally suppressed in Zhending Mansion, revolted again and gathered thousands of people to occupy Changshan County.

In the Central Plains, there were troops everywhere, Ma Tie in Chenzhou led 3,000 wharf workers to revolt, Zhong Taoer in Zhengzhou also gathered thousands of people to raise the banner of rebellion, Zhou Li, the county lieutenant of Ge County, the governor of Yingchang Prefecture, led 6,000 homeless people to revolt, and there were also a large number of small-scale volunteers in the countryside, and the Central Plains and the local government in Hebei were also panicked, and they sent people to Lin'an to contact the Zhizheng Hall.

At the same time, Li Yanqing issued a military order to all the commanders, asking them to send troops according to the established plan.

Yue Fei led an army of 60,000 troops from Xiangyang to attack Dengzhou and Ruzhou, Dengzhou defender Li Cheng led 5,000 Qi troops to surrender, Yue Fei's army was like a bamboo, the states and counties surrendered, and the goal of the army was Luoyang City.

Just after Yue Fei's army entered Ruzhou, Zhang Jun also led 30,000 troops to cross the Yellow River in Mengzhou and march towards Luoyang, while Wu Jie, Guanzhong, also led 30,000 troops out of Tongguan and marched towards Hangu Pass.

The three-way 120,000 army pointed at Luoyang from three directions, and the Luoyang defenders only had 20,000 people, and the main would be Liu Yu's eldest son Liu Lin, who knew that something was wrong, and urgently sent a pigeon letter to his father Liu Yu for help, and soon Liu Yu replied, there was only one sentence in the letter, defending Luoyang, waiting for the Jin soldiers to go south to rescue.

Liu Yu already knew that the Jin State had increased its troops to Yanshan Mansion by 100,000, and the total strength of Yanshan Mansion had reached 150,000, no matter what, Wan Yan Xian would not sit idly by and watch the Central Plains and Hebei lose, and would definitely go south to rescue, but what Liu Yu didn't know was that the Ruan brothers were killing on the Yellow River and sweeping all ferries.

Even if Wan Yan Xian has a heart, he may not be able to save him.

On the Eastern Front, Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi each led 40,000 troops northward, and their opponents were 40,000 Qi troops in Suzhou and Sizhou and 20,000 Jin soldiers stationed in Xuzhou.

Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi didn't pay attention to the Qi army, but they were very jealous of the 20,000 Jurchen cavalry in Xuzhou, so the marching speed of the two was not fast, and they tried their best to fight positional battles, occupying city by city, and not spending much time in the field.

But what made Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi happy was that the 30,000 cavalry led by Li Yanqing himself also quietly went north.

The 30,000 cavalry led by Li Yanqing went north from Taizhou, which was located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, entered Chuzhou from Taizhou, and then entered Haizhou from Chuzhou, and then turned west at Shuyang and entered Pizhou.

Li Yanqing's original plan was to enter Jingxi Road and cooperate with Wang Gui's army, which landed in Jiaozhou Bay, to exterminate the 30,000 gold soldiers in Yunzhou.

However, the situation changed beyond his expectations, and there were strong winds and waves along the southern coast of the Shandong Peninsula, which prevented the sea ships from going north, and Wang Gui's army had to land in Donghai County ahead of schedule, while Zhang Shun and Ruan Xiaoer's fleet had already sailed towards the entrance of the Yellow River because they had left for a few days and had escaped the wind and waves.

Because Wang Gui's army landed in Haizhou ahead of schedule, and the Yunzhou Jin soldiers temporarily solved the supply of soldiers and war horses by plundering grain, and did not go south to join the Xuzhou Jin soldiers for a while, Li Yanqing changed his plan and decided to concentrate his forces to annihilate the 20,000 Jin soldiers in Xuzhou.

Donghai County, which is today's Lianyungang, after the 70,000 troops led by Wang Gui landed in Donghai County, they rested for a little for half a day, and then immediately rushed to Xuzhou, which was 200 miles away.

The chief general of the Xuzhou Jin Soldier is called Wanyan Xianmao Ali, who belongs to the Jurchen Wanyan Department, but is not a clan, he is a famous warrior among the Jurchens, burly, with a big waist and a round waist, making a sixty pounds of stainless steel mace, three years ago he was named Meng'an by the wolf lord, that is, the commander of ten thousand people.

According to the practice of the Jin soldiers, the 20,000 Jin soldiers stationed in Xuzhou cannot all be Jurchens, 10,000 Jin soldiers are Jurchens, they are the main army, and the other 10,000 people are the Khitan army, which belongs to the servant army, and is also commanded by the Diagonal Ali, a main army with a servant army, this is the practice of the Jin soldiers, when the danger comes, the servant army goes up to cover the main army, which is also the most criticized part of the Jin soldiers, in several major battles a few years ago, the casualties of the servant army are far greater than the Jurchen army, which really makes many tribes dissatisfied.

For example, the Bohai Ministry has made it clear that if the Jurchens let the Bohai soldiers serve as servants, then they will not send another soldier.

The Jin State changed its strategy, not letting the Bohai, Goryeo and other armies as servant armies, but letting the Khitan and Xi people as servant armies, which is also the sorrow of the destroyers, and the Khitan and Xi people have no choice but to accept it silently.

At this time, Diagonal Ali had learned the news that Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi sent troops, and Liu Yu, the king of Qi, urgently asked him for help, and there were two tasks in the original garrison of Diagonal Ali, one was to monitor Liu Yu and prevent Liu Yu from colluding with the Song Dynasty behind his back and betraying the interests of the Jin State, and the second was to monitor the Song Dynasty, once the Song army showed signs of going north, they must immediately support Liu Yu's army and the Song army to fight.

Therefore, when Liu Yu's letter for help came, Ali did not hesitate and immediately led 20,000 cavalry south to Suzhou.

After the 20,000 Jin cavalry went south, there were only 1,000 Han troops left in Pengcheng County who were responsible for maintaining order in the city, and the commander was called Li Zhao, who was originally the commander of the Song army in Xuzhou.

Ever since the main general, Xian Mao Ali, led his army south, Li Zhao had an extremely ominous feeling, and he was restless all morning, always feeling that some danger was coming.

At noon, he simply came to the city wall to inspect it, and at this time he did not care about maintaining order in the city, but pulled all the 1,000 soldiers to stand guard and patrol the city.

At this time, a soldier came to report, "Commander, a merchant has come from Dongcheng and said important information!" ”

Li Zhao was startled, and hurriedly hurried to the east city gate, only a dark and fat middle-aged man who looked like a businessman was looking around anxiously.

He hurriedly asked in a loud voice, "What's the urgent news?" ”

The soldier reminded the merchant, "This is our Commander Lee!" ”

The middle-aged businessman hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "In Xia Yao Fugui, there is important information to report to the commander." ”

"What's the important information?"

"I received news from my brother from Haizhou that a Song army of tens of thousands of people is coming from Haizhou in the direction of Xuzhou."

This news surprised Li Zhao, "How many people?" ”

"About two to thirty thousand people?"

"Is this news reliable?"

"Returning to the commander, the news is absolutely reliable, the villain's shop is in the city, and he doesn't dare to report false news."

Li Zhao believed that if he marched about two hundred miles from Haizhou to here, and if he marched rapidly and did not stop at night, he would be able to reach Xuzhou at noon tomorrow.

He must immediately send someone to report the news to Ali.

"Go and get me the messenger!"

．．．．．．．

At night, 20,000 Jin soldiers were stationed in the west of Fuli County to rest, and Diagonal Ali was alone in the big tent to study the Song army's combat strategy, he stared at the map, and the map was planted with red and white flags, indicating two Song armies, which made Diagonal Ali a little confused, the Song army did not join forces in one place, and pinched the 80,000 army into a fist, which was a bit inconsistent with Li Yanqing's combat style in the past.

In the past, when Li Yanqing fought, no matter how many places the enemy army divided, they always concentrated their forces to annihilate one enemy army, but this time it was the 80,000-strong army that divided the troops into two routes and fought separately.

Of course, Diagonal Ali can also understand, after all, they are two different main generals, with equal status, there is a problem of who leads whom, and it is understandable that they are not gathered together, and the same problem is true for Jin Bing, but why didn't Li Yanqing bring them together, there is no problem for the two armies to fight separately, but they can attack one target together.

Xianmao Ali couldn't figure out the reason for this, so he simply didn't think about it anymore, and ordered the army to rest well, and go south early tomorrow morning to cooperate with the Qi army, and prepare to completely annihilate Han Shizhong's troops in Suzhou.

Just as Ali was blowing out the lamp and preparing to go to bed, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and a soldier hurriedly reported, "General Qiyu, Xuzhou is urgently asking for help!" ”

Ali sat up in shock, walked out of the tent and asked, "Where is the messenger?" ”

At this time, a messenger was led up, knelt down on one knee and said: "A Song army of tens of thousands of people is killing from the direction of Haizhou to Xuzhou, the distance is less than fifty miles, Commander Li asks the general to return to the army immediately to rescue!" ”

Ali was stunned, it turned out that the Song army divided its troops to confuse themselves, their real main force had already arrived in Xuzhou, preparing to attack Xuzhou and end their lair.

Thinking of his dozen concubines and a large amount of grain and grass materials, he was immediately anxious, and immediately shouted: "The whole army gets up and immediately goes north to return to Xuzhou!" ”

The soldiers who had just fallen asleep were woken up, they were very tired, but they had to complain and ride on their horses, and they didn't even want the camp tent, and the 20,000 cavalry turned around and galloped away in the direction of Xuzhou.
