After such a busy year, in the end, under the attack of the Western Army, Wang Qing really lost the city and lost the land one after another, but in the end he still relied on the terrain advantage of Dabie Mountain to survive the New Year.

After Tong Guan couldn't attack Wuhu for a long time, he suddenly attacked Xuancheng with surprise troops, forming a pinching attack on Wuhu, and after taking Xuancheng, Wuhu's river advantage disappeared, and the form became precarious.

In general, this year, the peasant army was rapidly defeated, and the Jiangnan region could not hold on to next year, when the Great Song Dynasty thought that the rebels would be eliminated next year, the Shangyuan Festival of the New Year had not yet exceeded 10,000, and Tianhu in Hebei reversed.

Zhang San finally found the four big Kou for Zhao Ji through his own efforts, but it's a pity that Liang Shan doesn't plan to do it now, otherwise Zhao Ji may be sad about these four Kou again, of course, his life is not easy now.

The original rebellion of the four great Kou was not at the same time, but now Zhang San has brought them together, which is definitely adding fuel to the fire, the two forces in the south have already contained more than 600,000 troops in the Great Song Dynasty, plus the border defense in the north and the army in the northwest to deal with the Western Xia, the army of the Great Song Dynasty has been stretched, and now Tian Hu has rebelled again.

If there is a microphone now, Zhang San really wants to interview Zhao Ji and see what he thinks about these things? However, even without a microphone, Zhang San knew what Zhao Ji was doing, and the recent events did make him a little anxious, but under the bewitchment of a group of gluttonous ministers, he still thought it was just a small group of bandits.

The war between Tong Guan and Fang La can be regarded as entering the confrontation mode, this is normal, it is not uncommon for ancient siege warfare to last for several months or even more than a year, and in the current form, it is difficult for the two sides to distinguish the winner in a short time.

And Huaixi Wang Qing since was driven into the Dabie Mountains by the main force of the Western Army, began to drill the mountain with the other party, facing the enemy with terrain advantages, even the Western Army was powerless, and the Western Xia heard that the Song Dynasty civil strife was ready to move, intending to recover the lost territory, the Western Army began to become anxious under the urging of the emperor.

As for Tian Hu in Hebei, although it seems to be huge, it is difficult to make great achievements, because the north has always been the frontier defense of the Great Song Dynasty, and even when the southern forces were at their most tense, this army was never used.

Therefore, Tian Hu can only wander around in Shanxi, and can only occupy some county towns for a while, but Shanxi is mountainous and has the terrain of the Loess Plateau, so it is also very inconvenient for officers and men to arrest them.

At this time, Zhang San continued to invest more manpower and material resources in Shandong, especially the transportation of grain as the top priority, which was a great deal for the Great Song Dynasty to extinguish uprisings in various places.

However, the Ryukyus did suddenly quiet down, the troops began to gather in the Ryukyus, the construction of ships accelerated, and Zhang San, who had not been happy without fighting for a few days before, had not taken the initiative to invade the outside world in a year.

Through the experience of the Chola War, Zhang San is still very confident in defeating the Song army, but after all, this is the beginning of the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains, it is impossible not to be nervous, not only Zhang San, but also his subordinates began to get nervous with the deepening of the preparations.

With the start of the plan, the Liangshan area began to be lively, Zhu Wu began to make excuses for Zhang San to enter the Central Plains according to Zhang San's instructions, and after everyone analyzed, Zhang San finally came up with the most justifiable way, that is, to enter the king of Beijing.

Referring to historical data, as long as there is an enemy to hit the capital, the emperor will generally launch the edict of King Qin, of course, relying on these three now, Zhang San feels that they are enough to protect themselves, let alone hit the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhang San can only do this by himself, after Liangshan has been prepared for expansion, there are already five regiments of troops, and Zhang San has transferred five more, not to mention that this strength will hit the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is not a problem.

At the end of August, Liangshan suddenly broke through Yuncheng County, and then went down to Qingzhou, and played the banner of "Qing Jun's side, punishing the gluttonous ministers" and began to formally rebel, like other anti-thieves, Liangshan army first expanded its territory on a large scale, successively took Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, Jiaozhou and other places, and went straight down to Jinan in the west, and for a time Shandong East Road was close to Liangshan.

However, unlike other rebel forces, the slogan shouted by Liang Shankou in Shandong was to free grain in Juntian, and immediately kill corrupt officials, punish evil officials, crack down on local tyrants and inferior gentry, and distribute their land to the people.

Although it was a rebellion, the maintenance of social order was more conscientious than that of the Great Song Dynasty, and the lives of the people were almost not affected.

Therefore, in just two months, the Liangshan thieves laid down the entire Shandong East Road, conscripted 200,000 soldiers, and began large-scale military training.

Of course, a few people will not sit still, and immediately draw troops from all over the country to give priority to eliminating Liangshan Kou, so the Guanxi army that originally pursued Wang Qing went north, and the Dengzhou Navy Division also returned to Yancheng to prepare to go north at any time, and the Daimyo Mansion also sent 80,000 troops, and Tong Guan even drew 100,000 troops from the troops who encircled and suppressed Fangla.

Gao Yu personally led the 150,000 forbidden troops in the capital to annihilate Liangshan Kou in one fell swoop, originally Zhang San thought that the Great Song Dynasty had no troops to send, but he didn't expect that the other party immediately reorganized another three or four hundred thousand people.

However, Zhang San was not afraid of this, but secretly sent another 50,000 troops into Yuncheng, Zhang San planned to use the identity of the Liangshan army to fight a decisive battle with the Great Song Dynasty in Yuncheng City, and then the Liangshan army marched west to Tokyo.

Around November, the imperial army has been assembled in the Heze area, Gao Yu ordered the troops to start attacking Yuncheng, first under Yuncheng to fight Liangshan, and finally recover other areas, this is Gao Yu's battle plan.

The purpose of laying Yuncheng is to ensure that the grain road is unblocked, and the laying of Liangshan can deter the enemy, so that the subsequent war can be smoother.

It's just that the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny, I originally thought that Yuncheng County, which was going down with a drum, the forward troops did hit their heads and bled under the city, and Gao Yu, who got the news, felt the experience, you must know that you have sent 20,000 forward troops, how can you be killed and lose your armor, so embarrassed?

In desperation, Gao Yu had to order the troops to stop and camp in place, and then thought of the countermeasures to continue to advance, because through the description of the striker, a very powerful firearm appeared in the opponent's army, regardless of whether there was armor or not, those within a hundred steps would die, and the soldiers felt that the other party was an evil spell and refused to come forward.

For this reason, Gao Yu invited a high-ranking humanist, and he collected black dog blood and other filthy things for three or five days before continuing to move forward, but he did not go ten miles, and the scouts came to report again, and the enemy troops were found in formation ten miles ahead.
