At this time, the Jin Kingdom, after experiencing the two Khitan southward trips last year, the people's hearts have long been floating, and there are those who want to rebel, those who defect to the enemy, and those who want to protect themselves.

But Shi Chonggui is full of confidence, he thinks that he can resist the Khitans going south twice, and naturally he can resist the third time, or even countless times.

Therefore, he appointed Du Wei as the commander of the northern camp, Li Shouzhen as the commander of the soldiers and horses, Taining Jiedu made An Xianqi as the commander of the left and right carriages, Wu Ning Jiedu made Fu Yanqing the commander of the left wing of the horse army, Yicheng Jiedu made Huangfu Yu the commander of the right wing of the horse army, Yongqing Jiedu made Liang Hanzhang the commander of the horse army, Song Yanyun was the commander of the left wing of the infantry army, Wang Rao was the commander of the left wing of the infantry army, and Xue Huairang was the commander of the vanguard of the state regiment.

He also ordered: "Whoever captures the king of Hulu alive shall appoint an envoy of the upper town and reward him with 10,000 taels of money, 10,000 horses of silk, and 10,000 taels of silver." ”

At that time, it rained for days from June to this day, and it was very difficult to march and transport military rations.

Dewey and Li Shouzhen met in Guangjin and then marched north. Subsequently, Dewey repeatedly asked the princess to enter the palace and ask for more troops, he said: "Now to go deep into the border of Hulu, we must rely on everyone's strength!" Therefore, Shi Chonggui's forbidden army was under his command, and even the guards on duty in the palace were empty.

Shi Chonggui still believed in Dewey's relative, and he had no precautionary heart at all.

……。

On 11 November, Dewey sent Li Shouzhen to preside over the affairs of the Youzhou Governor's Office. Dewey himself led his troops to Yingzhou, the gate of Yingzhou City was open, and it was so silent that no one dared to enter.

Captured a few people, and found out that the Khitan general Gao Mohan had already led his troops out of the city secretly. Dewey sent Liang Hanzhang to lead 2,000 cavalry to pursue, and encountered the Khitan in Nanyang, where Liang Hanzhang was defeated and killed. When Dewey and others heard the news, they led their troops south. At that time, Shucheng and several other counties had already requested surrender. Dewey and others burned down the house, looted the women and property there, and returned.

At this time, the Khitan lord Yelu Deguang led his troops to invade from Yizhou and Dingzhou to Hengzhou. Dewey and others arrived at Wuqiang. When I heard the news, I had to go south from Beizhou and Jizhou. Zhang Yanze, the envoy of the Zhangde Festival, was in Hengzhou at that time. He led the troops to join forces with Dewey and others, and stated the reasons why the Khitan could be defeated. Dewey and others drove to Hengzhou and ordered Zhang Yanze to be the striker.

On the 27th, Dewey and others came to the Zhongdu Bridge, but the Khitan had already occupied the bridge, Zhang Yanze led the cavalry to fight for it, and the Khitan soldiers burned the bridge and retreated. So the Jin army and the Khitan army were stationed across the Hutuo River and formed a confrontation.

At the beginning, the Khitan soldiers on the other side of the river saw that the Jin army was mighty, and they came to fight for the bridge but did not win, worried that the other party would force the Hutuo River, and jointly attacked Hengzhou, and discussed retreating and returning; However, seeing that the Jin army had built a camp for long-term preparations, he knew that the Jin army had no intention of crossing the river to attack, so he did not retreat.

At this time, Li Yan, the assassin of Cizhou and the northern transfer envoy, persuaded Dewey and Li Shouzhen: "Now the army is close to Hengzhou, and each other's fireworks can be seen." If you put a lot of three-stranded wood in the water, put firewood and grass on top of it, and spread the earth, the bridge will be built in no time. Then the defenders in the secret city lit a fire as a communication signal, and organized the soldiers to cut down the fence of the enemy's camp and rush in at night. All the generals thought that what they said was right, but Dewey thought it was not possible, so he sent Li Yan south to Huai and Mengzhou to supervise the transportation of military rations.

During the confrontation, although Dewey served as a general as a relative of the emperor, he was cowardly and timid by nature. The generals under him were all temperance envoys, who only flattered and pandered every day, drank and had fun, and rarely talked about military affairs.

At this time, the Khitan army confronted the Jin army by the river, but the back side quietly sent the general Xiao Han and the general Liu Chongjin to lead a hundred cavalry and weak foot soldiers to appear behind the Jin army along the West Mountain, cutting off the grain route and retreat of the Later Jin army.

Whenever the people met them on the road, they were all taken away; Then after the intimidation was put back, these people did not know the reason for the road, and they all said that the Khitan army was strong, and the people in the Jin army were panicked.

Xiao Han and others arrived at Luancheng, and there were more than 1,000 Jin army guards in the city, but they didn't expect the enemy to come, and they all surrendered in a panic. The Khitan soldiers also captured the people of the Jin Kingdom, and all of them tattooed the words "Feng Yi will not kill" on their faces and let them go south; When the men who were carrying grain met them on the road, they all threw down their burdens and fled in panic.

On the first day of December, Li Liao, who was sent to supervise the grain in Cizhou and the northern transfer envoy, was unwilling and secretly gave Shi Chonggui a secret recital. (To be continued......)
