After Yan Agu's troops were divided into three routes to the east, Yang Yi made an unexpected decision, he quickly transferred Liu Wu, who was sweeping the Liaodong Peninsula, to the north, but he did not let Liu Wu return to Liaoyang City;

Instead, he was asked to go north to Guide Prefecture, forming a horn with Li Yizhong's troops who occupied Yanjin, blocking the main road to the Jurchen homeland in the north.

Guide Prefecture and Yanjin Prefecture are two hundred miles away from Liaoyang, that is to say, Li Yizhong's troops and Liu Wu's troops are in the horns, and Yang Yi's 10,000 horses left behind in Liaoyang Mansion have become lone soldiers.

After guessing that Yan Aguta intended to give up going to the capital and switch to mobile combat, Yang Yi pondered and meditated, but he couldn't think of any good strategies to deal with it, so he had to gamble again;

This time, he was tantamount to using himself as bait, luring Yan Agu to attack Liaoyang Mansion after luring him, dragging his tens of thousands of Jin troops under Liaoyang City, and buying time for Zhe Keshi and Xie Dongsheng.

It can be said that this is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy. Yang Yi believes that with his own plus Yelu Mingqi as bait, it should be enough to impress Wanyan Agu.

Yang Yi is the commander of the Song army, the soul of the Song army, as long as he can kill him, the Song army from all walks of life has no leader, fighting on their own, and the morale is exhausted, and the possibility of Dajin Kingdom winning a comprehensive victory will be infinitely magnified.

So he knew Yang Yi's thoughts, but he was still willing to gamble on this, if he won the bet, the Dajin Kingdom would meet to win this war, and if he lost, it would be better than fleeing like a lost dog now.

Wanyan Agu is out, since Yang Yi has opened a gambling game, then let's gamble together, for Wanyan Aguda. It's worth it, and it's worth it anyway for him to lose the bet. The situation will not be much worse than it is now, and it is a big deal to see that the situation is not right. Just find a way to evacuate.

He let Wanyan Lou Room lead 20,000 horses to recapture Shenzhou, and was responsible for blocking Li Yizhong's troops and Liu Wu's troops who might go south for reinforcements, and he and Wanyan Zonghan joined forces and went straight to Liaoyang City.

Yang Yi was very simple, except for the three cities of Yanlu, Guide, and Liaoyang, the other cities didn't care.

Wanyan Aguta did not encounter any resistance at all, and the 60,000-strong army successfully advanced to the city of Liaoyang.

Yang Yi stood on the city tower, watching the Jin army surround Liaoyang City, his face did not fluctuate in the slightest, but Yu Xing and Lu Zhen beside him couldn't help but be a little worried. Liaoyang City is too big, 10,000 horses guarding the four city walls, in fact, it is still very thin;

In addition, only Lu Zhen's battalion in the city was flintlock pikemen, and these 500 men and horses were used as Yang Yi's personal barracks, so they did not go north with Li Yizhong.

Yang Yi saw their worries, so he said, "What about the person named Liancheng Que, bring him to me." ”

Lu Zhen immediately asked someone to find someone, and then asked, "My lord, do you want him to organize the young people in the city to go to the city to defend together?" I'm afraid that this person may not be able to believe it. ”

"Not really. Most of the people in the city are Bohai people and Han people, and when Yan Lou captured Liaoyang City before, he killed a lot of Bohai people and Han people, and their feud with the Jurchen has been settled. We should have no problem using them to help defend the city, besides. We didn't really count on them, but we just used them to consume the strength of Wanyan Agu. When the time comes, keep an eye on it, and you won't be afraid of what big waves they can make. ”

Yang Yi and they chatted for a while. Lian Chengque was soon found, he was in his early thirties, with big eyebrows, a Chinese face, a burly figure, and a tiger when he walked, and last time he was rewarded by Yang Yi for his meritorious service to Huaiyuanmen, so the two met.

Now that the Jin army is besieging the city, Yang Yi has found him again, Lian Cheng is secretly planning in his heart, thinking that Yang Yi must use him, as soon as he sees Yang Yi, he immediately bows down, and Hong Sheng said: "The villain Liancheng is missing, please meet Yang University." ”

His Chinese is a bit stiff, obviously his ancestors have lived in Liaodong for a long time, and they are used to speaking Khitan dialect when communicating with people on weekdays, but the Han people have a habit, that is, they read their roots, and they will try their best to retain their living customs and mother tongue wherever they go, at least in this era, so Liancheng can barely speak Chinese.

Yang Yi stepped forward to pick him up, and said in a harmonious voice: "No need to be polite, get up, last time you led the crowd to seize Huaiyuan Gate, so that our army could enter the city smoothly, and you have contributed a lot." Now that the Jin army is besieging the city and menacing, are you willing to make new contributions to the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Lian Chengque immediately clenched his fists and replied: "Scholar Yang looks down on the villain, which is a blessing that the villain has cultivated for several lifetimes, but Scholar Yang has been sent, although he is ordered, the villain dares not to do his best." ”

Yang Yi smiled and said: "It's rare that you have this heart, you can rest assured, as long as you can make new contributions, in the future, this marshal will definitely report to the court, I will be the son of heaven to His Majesty, and I will never treat everyone who has made contributions to the country. ”

"The villain is willing to swear allegiance to the Great Song Dynasty and follow Scholar Yang to the death."

"Well, listen, Ben Shuai ordered you to go to the city to organize the young and strong, and go to the city to defend together, and when the Jin army is repulsed, then Ben Shuai will reward him for his merits and deeds, and he will never treat everyone who serves."

"The villain obeys."

Lian Cheng Que has a high prestige in Liaoyang City, and after receiving the order, he soon organized a team of 3,000 people, which made Yu Xing and Lu Zhen even more scruples, if such a person is really willing to use it for himself, if he has two hearts, he is afraid that there will be unpredictable variables.

Although Yang Yi was also secretly wary in his heart, he was not too worried, now the overall situation is not good for the Jin Kingdom, and Liancheng lacks them and they have formed a rift with the Jurchens, and it is unlikely that they will switch to Yan Agu.

In addition to wanting to strengthen the city defense, Yang Yi also implied a more important meaning: Wanyan Agu saw that the Song army organized the young and strong people in the city to help defend the city, and he would definitely think that the Song army was exhausted, which would greatly increase his hope of breaking the city, and it would have a great effect on holding Wanyan Agu to fight these tens of thousands of gold troops.

To put it bluntly, this is another mental battle by Yang Yi.

When gambling, you have to give the other person hope before you can tempt them to make a big bet.

For this reason, Yang Yi did everything he could, and he once again instructed Lu Zhen and the others: "You must pay attention to hiding your strength, you can't fight too hard at the beginning, you must give Wanyan Agu some hope of breaking the city, it really scared him away, I will ask you." ”

"My lord, you mean to pretend to be crumbling?"

"Yes, the son can be taught, remember, we are just a piece of fat on the side of the mouth, and we must always make him feel that he can swallow it in one bite the next moment."

"Hehe, who swallows who doesn't know yet?"

After the Jin army besieged Liaoyang City, it did not attack immediately, but was busy building siege equipment.

The Jin army did not have explosives that could blow up the city gates like the Song army, so if they wanted to break the city, they had to build large siege equipment such as siege engines and trebuchets.

But the clouds of war have thickened over Liaoyang City, and there are tense battles inside and outside the city.

In this big gamble, whether Yang Yi became a prisoner of Wanyan Aguta, or Wanyan Aguda was dragged to death under Liaoyang City, everything is unknown.

The beauty of war is that you never know what's going to happen in the next moment.
