In the tent, after listening to Huang Wenbing's words, Lin Chong was also stunned, although the military horses of the Shandong Road were brave, but in addition to guarding the palace, they could send at most 60,000 or 70,000 military horses to fight on the Shandong Road, and the Jin army was not comparable to the weak Song army, whether it was to Hebei or Taiyuan, the Jin army of more than 100,000 people was not sure of victory. Moreover, the Jin army is also brave and good at fighting, even if it wins in the end, I am afraid that it will be a disastrous victory, thinking of this, Lin Chong also realized that the things he had conceived with only one blood were indeed simple.

Sanniang waved her hand and said: "Since we want to dominate the world, it is extremely important to lay out the Central Plains in advance." I have already thought that if the Song Dynasty really sends our army out of Hebei or to the northwest to rescue Taiyuan, our army can just deploy military horses in Hebei, Taiyuan and other places in advance, and once the army is raised in the future, it can echo around. ”

After a pause, Sanniang continued: "In addition to deploying military horses in advance, our army can also teach our army to know the prestige of the world, so that the people of the world know that our army is sincere in fighting against the Jin." If our army has a heavy army, but it only protects the territory and the people, and only guards the Shandong Road, it will definitely be criticized by the people of the world. ”

Huang Wenbing frowned and said: "Lord, having said that, if we really send military horses, our army will not have a chance of winning, and we are afraid that if we fight for both sides, it will be worth the loss." ”

Hearing this, Sanniang's face was extremely relaxed, as if she was not worried about this problem, and said slowly: "If our army really goes to Hebei or Taiyuan, it is indeed not superior in numbers, and it is far away from our Shandong Road, and the backup, grain and grass may not be good, but this time our army went to fight against the Jin army, recover the lost territory, and go to save the people. Secondly, our army this trip, can not only rely on their own military strength to deal with the Jin people, in the Central Plains, the Jin people burn, kill and loot, do all kinds of evil, the people must hate the Jin people, our army to let go of the people, to resist the Jin army, as long as the people stand on our side, our army can be invincible, this is called the people's war! ”

Hearing the words of the people's war, Huang Wenbing and Lin Chong were stunned, both of them pondered, and then Huang Wenbing's eyes lit up and said: "The lord is really a god and a man, and the people's war is really appropriate. The Jin army invaded the south, and the people were bound to be unwilling to be enslaved, if our army could protect the people, there would definitely be an endless stream of defectors to us! Then our army can arrange chess pieces in Taiyuan and Hebei in advance, which is a very good strategy! ”

After a pause, Huang Wenbing frowned again and said: "It's just that once this happens, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Jin people to invade the south, and it will be difficult to destroy Zhao Song's strategy by the hands of the Jin people." Sanniang shook her head and smiled: "Borrowing to destroy Zhao Song, in my mind, since Zhao Song's qi is about to run out, no matter how we plan in the future, Zhao Song will kill himself, but if it is not exhausted, no matter how we plan, it may be able to save the day." In the matter of Zhao and Song, I think it is just a few words, that is, but do your best, and everyone has a destiny. Just like Senior Brother Shicai said, even if it will not die in the future and the hands of the Jin people, if it is exhausted and loses the hearts of the people, it will also kill itself. I have already figured it out, so I will act for the way of heaven according to the banner that we Liangshan set up at the beginning, so that I can not forget my original intention! ”

After listening to Sanniang's words, Huang Wenbing and Lin Chong were stunned, and then slowly got up together, respectfully saluted Sanniang, and both said: "But listen to the lord's orders, don't dare to forget this word." I, Liangshan, will definitely do the right thing for heaven and never forget my original intention! ”

After discussing this matter, Sanniang untied the knot in her heart, and said: "Wanyan Zongwang retreated to the bank of the Yellow River, although I ignored the will of the imperial court this time, and still defeated his royal palace's military horses, but presumably there will be a more severe will from the imperial court later, asking us to stop the army." Although our army does not follow the will of the imperial court, the middle army and horses of the division will definitely not be able to resist the strict orders of the imperial court and withdraw the army, and with the current soldiers and horses of our army, if we want to completely annihilate Yan Zongwang's department, it is beyond our strength. Therefore, our army will first hold its troops still. ”

Lin Chong said: "Exactly, this trip out of righteous indignation, openly disobeying the edict of the Song court, may have caused a big turmoil, if the next trip the imperial court comes to strike the will of the army, I will not wait again and again, again and again disrespecting the will of the imperial court, after all, our army is still the military horse of the imperial court." ”

Huang Wenbing bowed his head and said: "It's just time to strike the troops first, and then make a plan." Sanniang said calmly: "But I won't let go of the Yan Zongwang Department so easily, you go down to interrogate those captured golden dogs, ask them how many of our Han women have been kidnapped in the gold camp, and then let a few Jin soldiers take prisoners back with letters, let them release the captured women back, we can return the captured Jin soldiers to them here!" ”

Huang Wenbing and Lin Chong received the order loudly, and Sanniang asked again: "Is there any news of the water master?" Where did Zhang Shun's navy go? Huang Wenbing said: "This morning, I got the flying pigeon of the navy, one hundred and fifty warships of all sizes under Zhang Shun's department, and three thousand men and horses of the navy have arrived on the section of the Yellow River in the east of Huazhou to stand by!" ”

Sanniang said hello, and then said: "Now that the water army is in place, I will tell Yan Zongwang that if you want to cross the Yellow River safely, when you cross the river, if you will not be intercepted by my Yellow River water army, you must leave the money to buy the road, and the road money is not the same price, and you will need 10 million yuan of wealth!" ”

Lin Chong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and Huang Wenbing said with a smile: "The lord wants to finish the Jin army of Yan Zongwang's department, even if he returns to the north, he must leave the looted wealth and women behind." Lin Chong bowed his head and said: "The golden dog burned, killed and looted along the way, and I don't know how much wealth was robbed and how many women were taken away, all of which were the wealth of the surrounding people. After our army begged for return, they put the woman home, and the wealth and silk obtained were distributed to the surrounding people, which was in line with the meaning of our army to do the right thing for heaven. ”

After the discussion, Huang Wenbing and Lin Chong went to act, and Sanniang rested in the tent. Sure enough, after Sanniang took a short rest, Lin Chong came to report angrily: "Senior sister, I interrogated many Jin captives, and they all said that in the Jin camp, more than 10,000 women were kidnapped. In addition to women, the golden dog also captured a lot of our Han craftsmen, and there were as many as three or five thousand people! ”

Sanniang frowned and said, "I didn't expect there to be many craftsmen." "It turns out that the Jin people envy the Central Plains culture, he is only civilized there, there are few skilled craftsmen, it is to invade the south, the Jin people not only plundered the Central Plains women, but also the skilled craftsmen from all over the country are taken away, no matter what blacksmiths, carpenters, paper craftsmen, carpenters, plasterers, etc., but all those who have some craftsmanship have been captured by the Jin people.

Lin Chong said: "Exactly, and our army has more than 3,000 Jin prisoners this time. Sanniang said: "Okay, immediately select a few captives to come out, cut off their ears and let them go back, and then bring the words back to teach the gold man to release those women and craftsmen!" By the way, let the golden dog put back go back with the heads of the two golden generals! "The corpses of the two golden generals were killed by Sanniang on the battlefield Wanyan and Wanyan Fang, and later Sanniang asked to know the identities of the two, Sanniang ordered someone to bring back the heads of the two, which was also a demonstration to Wanyan Zongwang. Lin Chong responded and went to handle it himself.

After Lin Chong went, Sanniang was a little uneasy, and called Huang Wenbing again: "This trip to Jinying to ask for people and wealth, but I am afraid that those golden dogs will not agree, you contact Guo Yaoshi here, and order him to go around from the side, and he will definitely ask our people and women and craftsmen to come back." Huang Wenbing responded, and he also handled it himself.

But after saying that Yan Zongwang was there, after retreating to Huazhou, the forward military horses had already arrived on the bank of the Yellow River, found a military horse of more than 1,000 people left when crossing the river, and after getting on the boat left by crossing the river, he was about to order the troops to cross the river one after another and return to the north, but he didn't expect the news from the military horse behind the palace, saying that he was pursued by the Song army.

Wanyan Zongwang was shocked and angry, and immediately sent one of his sons and nephews to bring three thousand kidnappers and horses to meet them. I thought that the three thousand kidnappers and horses would go forward, and it would be a sure victory to deal with the ordinary Song army in the field, but I didn't want to wait until after dark, and the defeated army came back, and said that the army and horses of the palace were defeated and lost, and his son and nephew were also killed in the battle.

Wanyan Zongwang was taken aback, and asked urgently if it was the Song army, and when he learned that it was the Song army on Shandong Road, Wanyan Zongwang hated and said: "It's the Liangshan female thief again!" At that moment, he was furious and wanted to lead the army to take revenge, but one of his subordinates turned around and persuaded: "Marshal, if it is late today, and the troops are sent out in the dark, and the ambush is fearful, it is better to hold the troops first." ”

After hearing about Yan Zong's prestige, it was Pharmacist Guo who persuaded him. Hearing this, Wanyan Zongwang calmed down a little, Guo Yaoshi said: "Dashuai, our army went deep into the Song realm, the Song people's Qinwang army came in a big way, and now it has retreated to this point, and the soldiers have robbed many women's wealth, when they heard that they returned to the north, they already only wanted to return north, and had no fighting spirit, at this time the Song army came to catch up, it was a plan to hit its twilight return, if you turn back and fight with the Song army, I am afraid that his army will be surrounded in all directions, and our army will be in danger." ”

Guo Yaoshi's words made Wanyan Zongwang completely calm down, he was the commander of the East Road of the Jin Army who commanded more than 100,000 military horses, and what he had to think about now was how to bring these more than 100,000 military horses back to the north safely, instead of avenging his son and nephew.

At that moment, Yan Zongwang endured his anger and only said: "Okay, first press the troops, teach the forward army to cross the river overnight, and occupy the north bank retreat first." Ordered the cavalry to patrol the sentry overnight, and if they encountered the Song army, they would be killed. and send sentry cavalry to investigate the movements of the Song army! The generals under the tent received the order and led their own troops.

At the time of the first shift, it was said that the Song army had released five Jurchen prisoners, all of whom were abducted horses brought by Wan Yanxiang and two people, all of whom were authentic Jurchens. At that moment, Yan Zongwang immediately raised the account and ordered someone to bring the five people for questioning.

I didn't want to go to the tent, Wanyan Zong saw that the five people were cut off by the Song people, and the bald head was dripping with blood, and he was immediately furious, and then saw that the five people trembled and offered two burdens, and when he opened it, he saw that it was the head of his son Wanyan and his nephew Wanyanfang, and he was immediately angry, kicked over the table, pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Liangshan female thieves deceive people too much!" Come on, beat the drum and form the army, I will send troops overnight to take revenge! ”
