After many years, Li Yanqing once again returned to his hometown, but his hometown has long been unrecognizable, the former small village has long collapsed, only some foundation rubble shows that this was once a village, there is no figure within a radius of dozens of miles, even Lushan Town has become a ruin, only the former Lushan Academy still has a few dilapidated buildings standing on the hill.

The road in the village no longer existed, and the barren grass was half a person tall everywhere, and the soldiers had to open up a road, and Li Yanqing came to his old house.

The old house has long been in ruins, and the memories of childhood can no longer find a place to sustenance, Li Yanqing walked through the ruins to a meadow at the back, the soldiers have cleaned up the grass, this should be the mother's cemetery, but there are no traces of the cemetery.

Yue Fei pointed to a poplar tree, which he planted back then, which was next to Li Yanqing's mother's cemetery, a mark left in order to find the grave in the future.

At this time, the poplar tree has become a towering tree, and its root system has already stretched into the cemetery, Li Yanqing sighed, knelt down in front of the poplar tree, put on the offerings and incense burner, Li Yanqing burned the incense candle yellow paper, and kowtowed to his mother's dead three times, and then stood up.

"Du Shuai, do you want to build a wall to fence this place, and then send troops to garrison it?" Cao Meng whispered on the side.

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, but this matter is left to the local officials, and the army will leave it alone." ”

The army then set off to continue northward, and soon came to Tangyin County, close to Tangyin County, and finally had a little popularity, there were wheat fields within ten miles of the siege of the city, there were vendors selling herbal tea in greenhouses on the side of the road, and there were several foot shops and restaurants outside the city.

The army did not enter the city, and the county commander took the county Cheng and several other officials out of the city to meet the arrival of the regent Jianguo.

"Xiaguan Wu Qian meets His Royal Highness the Regent!"

Li Yanqing did not embarrass the parent official of Tangyin County, and the population of Tangyin County has not decreased, which shows that the people of ten miles and eight townships have fled to the county seat, which shows that this county order is still relatively close to the people.

"Wu County Order, please get up!"

Li Yanqing politely asked him to get up, which made several officials breathe a sigh of relief, at least His Royal Highness the regent did not drink and ordered the soldiers to push him down and behead him.

Wu Gan, the county commander, hurriedly said: "Please go into the city to rest!" ”

"No need, the army will continue to move north, and you will maintain order by yourself."

"The subordinate obeys!"

Li Yanqing turned around and ordered: "The army continues to go north!" ”

The 200,000-strong army continued to march north, and at this time, a personal soldier ran to the Wu county order and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has a personal matter to ask the county commander for help. ”

Several officials looked at each other, and there was such a good thing, and Wu County Ling hurriedly said: "Just give orders!" ”

The two soldiers put a box of silver in front of the county order, and said to the soldiers: "The tomb of His Royal Highness the Regent's mother is in the south of Lushan Town, I will bring the county order over, this thousand taels of silver will be used to repair the tomb, and then invite a tomb watcher, and the various expenses needed in the future will be borne by the regent, just ask the county order to protect the cemetery." ”

The county commander agreed, "I will definitely handle this matter well and never disappoint His Royal Highness the Regent." ”

The pro-soldier smiled: "If the county order has time, we will go and see it now." ”

"Good! I'll take a few of the servants with me. ”

Not long after, the county commander and the county Cheng took more than a dozen officials and tomb repair craftsmen, divided into two mule carts, and followed the soldiers in the direction of Lushan Town.

..........

About fifty miles away from Tangyin County, Li Yanqing received an urgent report from the scouts, this scout was led by Li Zhen, active in Hebei Province of 500 scout troops, they have been closely monitoring the Jin soldiers of the Daimyo Mansion, when Yan Zongfu led an army to the north, the scouts rushed to Xiangzhou in the form of relay express, and reported to Li Yanqing.

This news made Li Yanqing immediately realize that there was internal strife among the Jin soldiers, and this was the best fighter given to him by God, and he immediately ordered Cao Meng to lead an army of 40,000 to ride north quickly.

At the same time, he ordered Wang Gui and Wu Jie, who were in Hejian Mansion, to turn around and intercept the Jin soldiers heading north.

The 40,000 troops led by Cao Meng were not all cavalry, including 30,000 cavalry and 10,000 special soldiers, special soldiers refer to 5,000 heavy infantry and 5,000 musketeers.

Just after Cao Meng's army moved north, Li Yanqing led the other 160,000 troops to also speed up, preparing to intercept some of the Jin soldiers behind.

At this time, Wang Gui led an army of 50,000 just arrived in Hejian Mansion, and Wu Jie's 30,000 troops arrived two days earlier than Wang Gui, the Ji army in Hejian County was only more than 8,000 people, under the threat of the heavy troops of the 80,000 Song army, the 8,000 Ji army opened the city and surrendered, so that the Song army occupied Hejian Mansion without blood, and the occupation of Hejian Mansion was not to cut off the road to the north of the Jin soldiers, and the Jin soldiers could still take a detour.

However, the Song army had a logistics powerhouse, and a large amount of grain and grass materials in Hejian County gave the Song army enough logistics support, and then sent more scouts to judge the northward route of the Jin soldiers, which could basically be intercepted.

However, Wang Gui was not determined to do this, he was bent on going north to Yanshan Mansion, and on the night of taking Hejian Mansion, the Song army, which had rested for half a day, was about to set off from camp.

At this moment, Wu Jiejian sent someone to stop Wang Gui.

"What is the matter with Wu Dutong looking for me?"

Wang Gui was a little impatient, he was about to whip the horse north, but Wu Jie sent someone to stop him.

"The humble post is also clear, Wu Dutong said that there is a very important military situation, and he will be there soon, please wait for a while."

"Tell him to come over quickly, I don't have time to wait for him."

At this time, Wu Jie rode a horse and galloped over, "Wang Dutong, you can't go north for the time being." ”

"Why?" Wang Gui asked dissatisfiedly.

Wu Jieyang raised a piece of information in his hand, "I just received the information, a group of about 30,000 Jin soldiers is heading north from the Daimyo's Mansion, please be sure to stay and intercept it with me." ”

Wang Gui is a veteran of a hundred battles, although he desperately wants to go to Yanshan Mansion, but it does not mean that he is a general who does not know the priorities, of course he knows what it means for Jin Bing to go north, he immediately jumped off the war horse, stepped forward to take over the information, and opened it under a torch to take a closer look.

According to the intelligence, about 30,000 cavalry had left the Daimyo's Mansion and headed north, and there were many Khitans and Xi people in the army.

"Is this a split between the Golden Soldiers?" Wang Gui asked in surprise.

Wu Jie nodded, "The specifics are not clear, but it is never a good decision to divide the troops at this time, which gives the Song army a chance to break through." ”

Wang Gui pondered for a moment, the cavalry would take about five days to go north to Hejian Mansion, and now that he received the information, even if he used flying pigeons to transmit the message, at least two or three days had passed, and the commander must have known about it, and the military order to intercept the enemy army should be on the way.

Thinking of this, Wang Gui turned around and ordered: "Cancel the north, and all the soldiers will return to the barracks immediately." ”

Wang Gui made a major decision to suspend his trip to Yanshan Mansion and stay in Hejian Mansion to intercept 30,000 Jin soldiers heading north.

．．．．．．

In the big tent of the military camp, Wang Gui unfolded a map, and Wu Jie's study of the northward route of the Jin soldiers, although Hebei is a large plain, but it is not possible to run casually, when the river is blocked, you may not be able to find a bridge to cross the river for hundreds of miles, and the army also needs food and grass supplies, so the Jin soldiers must go to a slightly densely populated place.

Generally speaking, there are two military routes in Hebei, one is the eastern route, which goes north from the Daimyofu and passes through Hejian and Xiongzhou to enter Yanshan Mansion, and the other is the western route, which goes north from Xiangzhou and Zhaozhou and enters Yanshan Mansion through Zhending Mansion.

Obviously, this Jin army must have taken the eastern front to the north, and they may not know the news of the fall of Hejian County.

Wu Jie pointed to the county roads along the map: "The official warehouses along the way have long been looted by Gao Qingyi, and the supply of 30,000 horses cannot be guaranteed by robbing the people, so the target of the Jin soldiers must still be Hejian County." ”

"And what do you mean?"

Wu Jie pointed to Hejian County, "Trap the Jin soldiers in the county seat!" ”

Wang Gui took a few steps to trap the Jin soldiers in the county seat, first of all, he had to evacuate the 80,000 people in the city, and then move the grain and grass away, the scale was very large, it would take at least two days, and he would confuse the Jin soldiers and lead them to be fooled.

But then again, the 80,000 Song army really can't intercept the 30,000 Jin soldiers, if the Jin soldiers want a decisive battle, the Song army will suffer heavy casualties, if the Jin soldiers don't pay attention to the Song army and directly bypass Hejian Mansion, they can't catch up.

Thinking about it, they can only take advantage of the only weakness of the Jin soldiers' lack of supplies to lure them into Hejian County, and if the strategy fails, they can only be forcibly intercepted.

Thinking of this, Wang Gui nodded, "Time is pressing, let's start arranging it immediately!" ”
