"Can't take any chances!" Zhao Tianci said, "The airship is very affected by the monsoon, and now it is late autumn, the wind direction is constantly changing, and it is not a good strategy to use the airship." He looked into the distance, "Since we can't get through, let's go around it." ”

Yue Fei's eyes lit up, "Daizhou?!" ”

Zhao Tianci nodded, "That's right, it's Daizhou!" He pointed to the opposite bank, "Judging from the map, the Juma River is meandering and narrow, almost forming a complete semi-arc, but it is only an inland tributary, starting from the Yellow River in the east and ending in the Taihang Mountains in the west, so I plan to take people to Daizhou to join the Wu family brothers, second brother, you continue to prepare for crossing the river here, it is best to have a few battles, so that Zong Bi thinks that our main force is still on this side of the river." ”

Yue Fei nodded and said, "This is very good, but this place is far away from Daizhou, and there are many mountainous areas, so the march will be very hard." ”

Zhao Tianci said, "Hard work is nothing, as long as I can successfully bypass the Juma River and disrupt the enemy's arrangement on the other side, then the second brother's army will cross the river on all fronts, and most of the sixteen states will fall into my hands!" ”

Zhao Tianci still underestimated the difficulty of the westward journey.

From Yizhou to Feihu Prefecture in the west, the mountain roads along the way are not suitable for the cavalry to pass through, and they can only advance along the plank road next to the Juma River, but in that case, such a big move of the army will be discovered by the Jin soldiers on the other side, and the strategy of attacking the east and the west will inevitably fail.

After only one day, Zhao Tianci ordered the men and horses to stop, and he didn't know when he would be able to reach Daizhou City if he continued like this.

An Shunzhang saw that he was frowning, and knew that he was worried about the problem of marching, so he gave him an idea, "Your Majesty, the Jin soldiers are stationed in Hebei, monitoring the movements of our army day and night, and if you want to reach Daizhou quickly, there is only one way to travel on the plank road." ”

Zhao Tianci said, "But in this way, there is no way to hide from the enemy on the other side." ”

An Shunzhang said, "What if we are just mobilizing the army and preparing to cross the river on all fronts? ”

Zhao Tianci was stunned for a moment, "We're doing this now!" ”

An Shunzhang said, "You can also make the momentum bigger!" ”

Zhao Tianci thought thoughtfully, nodded and said, "Mobilize during the day and act at night?!" ”

An Shunzhang said, "The emperor is wise! ”

Zhao Tianci understood the meaning of An Shunzhang, which was nothing more than using the army as a trick to secretly assemble the army to the west. But this kind of practice is also risky, it is okay at first, but the further west it is, the easier it is to be exposed, unless he restrains the Jin soldiers on the other side and puts all his attention on the area between or east of Feihu Prefecture and Yizhou, he can realize his intentions, so after communicating with Yue Fei again, they decided to be ready to cross the river at any time.

The operation of cutting wood and building a raft was carried out in broad daylight, and the scene was very huge, and the golden soldiers on the other side of the Juma River could of course see it clearly.

Yue Fei built a raft with great fanfare, this was not a strategy or a trick, but something that really needed to be used.

After the logging operation, the raft construction operation began. However, how the Song army built the raft, the Jin soldiers on the opposite bank could not be seen, because the Song army built a high barrier along the river bank, which extended west along the Juma River, blocking their view.

And Zhao Tianci's army swaggered west behind this barrier.

As the raft construction operation progressed, this artificial barrier was gradually removed from east to west, and what was revealed behind it was the fruits of the Song army's labor for more than ten days: thousands of brand-new rafts!

For such a large-scale preparation of the Song army, the Jin army was not unaware, but even if they knew what they were going to do, they could not do anything except passively wait.

In fact, on the Juma River, there were originally more than a dozen wooden bridges connecting the two banks, but Zong Bi had already expected that he would not be able to stop the northward advance of the Song army, so he took a step ahead and asked people to dismantle all the wooden bridges.

As a result, not only could the Song army not come, but his own men and horses could not get out.

As late autumn approaches, the temperature in the north has begun to drop, and there is a lot more cold in the light wind. After more than ten days of rapid marching, Zhao Tianci's army finally reached the end of the Juma River at the foot of the West Taihang Mountain.

However, to his great surprise, although the Juma River is a branch of the Yellow River, the water is crystal clear, and the sand of the houses can be seen at the bottom of the river, and the water does not silt up at the end, but forms a pool of water at the foot of the mountain, and then pours directly into the ground.

And this place is very close to Yingzhou, as long as you turn over the remaining veins on the left side of Taihang Mountain, you can see Yingzhou City.

Zhao Tianci Sihao did not hesitate, and sent people to Daizhou to inform the Wu brothers that they would immediately start a large-scale siege of the city, and he left An Yuanliang behind, and let her go straight to Yingzhou with 50,000 horses, and he took the rest of the men and horses to bypass the Juma River and go back along the river bank to kill.

When they came, the speed was not fast, it was because they had to cover while walking, but now it is very different, all the horses let go of their hearts and run wildly, scaring the golden soldiers who protect the river into scattering and fleeing, and there is no effective resistance at all.

The original journey of more than ten days now took only four hours to kill most of the battle, and the golden soldiers guarding the river were completely disrupted.

On the other side, after Yue Fei received the news from Zhao Tianci, he immediately began to organize a large army to forcibly cross the river.

The Ulzhou guard was the Jin general A Lingshan Ji, and he took the name of the Han people called Bao Dao Pavilion. Bao Daoge had 100,000 cavalry in his hands, and when Zhao Tianci's men and horses appeared outside the city of Ulzhou like a tide, he didn't react to what was going on, and thought that the Song army was going to attack the city, so he was so frightened that he quickly ordered the four gates to be closed, and the rolling wood and thunder stones were prepared on the city, ready to defend to the death. But when he saw the Song army passing in front of his city without even looking at him, he became suspicious again.

"General, we ...... A decision has to be made. Standing beside Bao Daoge was a middle-aged Han man, with white skin and bright eyes.

"Mr. Lu, can you be sure that the news is true?" Bao Daoge frowned and asked.

"The news from the Holy Maiden must not be fake." The person surnamed Lu Zhengse said, "According to the Holy Maiden, she is with the Holy King. ”

Bao Daoge looked left and right, "Can you let the Holy Maiden bring the Holy King over?" ”

The person surnamed Lu shook his head, "The Holy King also has an identity, he is the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, how can he move around at will?" ”

Bao Daoge said, "This matter is very important, and the people of my clan have finally settled down, and they can't afford to toss again." ”

"Okay, I'll go there myself, and after confirming that it's correct, we'll act according to the plan." The man surnamed Lu pondered for a while and then said.

Zhao Tianci didn't want to stop for a moment, he and the team rushed forward together, because the speed was too fast, the Jin army didn't have time to organize an effective counterattack, so they were torn apart from head to toe and thrown aside in blood.

The news of the Song army's circumambulation of the river reached the Marshal Mansion of Wanyan Zongbi in Youzhou, and he was also shocked into a cold sweat, did the Song people really have such courage? Not to mention anything else, the first thing to face when you go around the river is to become a lone army, with the Juma River in your back, but in front of you are the 200,000 elite soldiers of Ulzhou and Zhuozhou, and if you don't get it right, you will be in danger of being wiped out!

But whether he believes it or not, the facts are already in front of him, and Song Jun really did it. He urgently ordered Bao Daoge in Ulzhou and Wanyan Puluhu in Zhuozhou to immediately lead their men and horses out of the city to resist the enemy.

Who is Wanyan Puluhu? This person's identity is amazing, he is the eldest son of Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng, Qin was named the king of Song, and he has been guarding Zhuozhou for nearly 20 years, and his men and horses are mainly his private soldiers, all of whom are loyal and brave.

It is precisely because he has such an identity that when Zong Bi's military order is issued to him, it is necessary to add a word of respect, in other words, this Song king can respond "as appropriate", and he may or may not obey Zong Bi's military order.

As a result, a strange phenomenon arose, Zong Bi's two military orders were issued, but no one in the two states went out to meet the enemy according to his orders. King Song's reason was that the enemy was too far away from Zhuozhou to reach him, and the Ulzhou guard Bao Daoge didn't even have a reason, so he directly drowned the order.

When an order is issued, whether or not the subordinates carry it out or to what extent it is carried out is something that can only be known after the fact, but the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Zhao Tianci has also been worried that there will be Jin soldiers to kill him to stir up the situation, but after Su Qingyun met a person, he repeatedly assured him that Ulzhou would not send troops, and the eldest prince of Zhuozhou was a very thoughtful person, if you don't reach his feet, he will definitely not be able to see you.

Now that it seems that this is the case, Zhao Tianci completely let go of his worries and ordered his subordinates to pursue and kill the Jin soldiers guarding the river with all their might, so as to annihilate them all.

And those rafts that Yue Fei hurriedly built also officially came in handy. As soon as the defenders on the other side were in chaos, Yue Fei immediately ordered people to cross the river on a raft. The people who crossed the river pulled the iron cable in their hands, and when they reached the opposite bank, they buried the stakes on the spot and fixed the iron cable on it.

In this way, in just two hours, dozens of iron cables across both sides of the Juma River appeared, and the Song army took a raft along the rope at a fast speed.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, the Jin soldiers guarding the river simply gave up resistance and retreated north.

Zhao Tianci's men and Yue Fei's army met on the north bank of the river, and thus the general trend of half of the sixteen states returning to the Song Dynasty was determined.

After Yue Fei and Zhao Tianci's men and horses rested for a while, they immediately divided their troops into two routes, Yue Fei led people to Zhuozhou, and Zhao Tianci led people to Ulzhou.

Why is there such a division of labor, this is also because of Su Qingyun's strong recommendation, and she repeatedly asked Zhao Tianci to be sure to explain Yue Fei and the Wu family brothers, after entering the city, anyone who sees a red scarf on his head must be treated well.

Of course, Zhao Tianci knew that those people must be the clansmen of the Thunder God Clan.

However, he was also curious that although these people maintained the traditions of their own race, they could also fully integrate into other races, which could not but be said to be a strange thing. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that it is not difficult to say that one or two people are so many people in the same clan, and they live very scattered, it is indeed not easy to do this.
