Wan Yanliang knew that in order to realize his great cause, he must first have a strong armed force to support him, and the servants of the Right Marshal's Mansion were placed by his side to monitor and contain him, of course, he was unwilling to send troops to help. Now that everyone from the lord's house said so, Wan Yanliang, who had wanted to sit idly by, had even more reason, so he refused the request of the servants to send troops immediately in the name of asking the imperial court for advice.

But the retribution seems to come too quickly, Wan Yanliang's reply was just two days after he received the news that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty had sworn in Bianjing to send a national army to the north to attack the Jin Kingdom, and now the Song army is moving to the southern border area on a large scale, and the field set up between the two countries is also closed, expelling the Jurchens in the Great Song Dynasty, closing the border, and cutting off the official and non-governmental exchanges.

Then the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty handed over the letter of state, and Yan Liang saw that this is the letter of state, which is clearly the text, which counts the brutality of the Jurchens and the disobedience to the peace agreement, and sent troops into the grassland without authorization to cross the border to harass and kill and injure the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty. He understood that as soon as this thing was delivered, it meant that the Great Song Dynasty had officially issued a war letter to the Jin State, and the border conflict had evolved into a war between the two countries, so he had to get involved in it.

The enemy army entered the Kou, of course Wan Yanliang couldn't turn a blind eye, and he didn't know that Zhao Er, who had disturbed his own good deeds, scolded him hundreds of times. However, he has the ability to turn bad things into good things, and he can take this opportunity to eliminate internal dissidents and preserve his strength. However, unlike Fusan Zhongyi, he sent the prison army to Laizhou to command the war against the Song Dynasty in the name of his rich experience in fighting against the Song Dynasty, while he stayed in Jinzhou to sit in the rear and control the overall situation.

Sa Li is sixty years older than Wushu, but now he has learned from Lao Huang Zhong and has to carry a knife into battle. Naturally, I don't like it in my heart, but the military order cannot be violated. Still pinching his nose and coming to the state with 10,000 reinforcements. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that where the marshal sent him to take a fancy to himself. That is to send to death. As early as the first battle of Goryeo, he figured out that it was impossible for Jin Guo to relive the dream of going south to the Central Plains, and whether he could keep the ancestral foundation of Liaodong depended on Zhao Er's mood.

"Overseer, do you think we can hold Laizhou?" It was the veteran Wanyan Nie Er who went to the aid and led the troops with Sa Li, who was also not very emotional, and looked at the sad Sa Liyu and asked.

"Well, what do you think?" Sali asked with a sigh.

"It's difficult, the Song army will fight the Right Marshal's Mansion first, and it will be calculated long ago to fight the Left Marshal's Mansion at this time. They are just waiting for the snow and ice to melt and the river to bloom! Wan Yan Nie Er shook his head and said.

"Yes, we have Qingshan and Daling River in the west, and we have built a boundary trench, which is advantageous to defend and not to attack, Zhao Er will not do that kind of thankless thing." Sali drinks deeply sympathetic and authentic.

"From the land route to the north, our prefectures and counties are dense, guarding the marching road, and the city defense is relatively strong after renovation. Even if the Song army had sharp firearms, the battle for one state and one city would require a lot of troops and delay time. Therefore, his subordinates thought that Zhao Er would probably repeat his old tricks and attack from the waterway. Calling the state is just a feint and a show, but I don't know where he will start. Wan Yan Nie Er analyzed.

"Hmm. There were thousands of naval warships in the Southern Dynasties, and Zhao Er would not let them idle. And our Zuo Shuaifu is bordered by the sea in the east, and the prefectures and counties are scattered in Liaodong Bay. There are too many locations to choose from, if you were Zhao Er, where would you choose? Wanyan Nie'er and Sa Liyu thought about the same, nodded and asked.

"Xizhou, this place is close to the coast, and it is in the north of Liuzhou, occupying Xizhou first will cut off the heavy troops deployed in Laizhou, making the boundary trench useless, and at the same time opening the door to Jinzhou!" Wanyan Nie Er immediately replied, thinking that he had already thought about this question.

"Hehe, Zhao Er is not as stingy as you think, Xizhou will not be in his eyes." Sali shook his head with a smile.

"Oh, where does the prison army think the Song army will fight?" Wan Yan Nie Er asked suspiciously.

"Zhao Er gathered the forbidden troops of Yanjing, Zhending, and Jinggi in Pingzhou, with hundreds of thousands of troops, will he make a big move for Xizhou! So their goal is Jinzhou! Sali said with a wry smile, "As long as we occupy this city, we will all be isolated in this narrow corridor, and we will eat them all in one net and eat them slowly." ”

"Does the marshal know that the Song army will land in Jinzhou?" Wan Yan Nie Er was silent for a while before asking.

"He didn't know that I had already reminded the big handsome before leaving, but he ......," Sa Liyu shook his head helplessly.

"That kid knew this, but he still asked us to come to the state, he wanted to borrow a knife to kill people!" Although Sa Liyu didn't say it explicitly, it had confirmed Wan Yan Nie'er's ominous premonition, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"Wan Yan Liang was originally sent to Zuo Shuai's Mansion by the Taishi because he colluded with Empress Pei Man to steal power, thinking that he could keep himself away from Jingshi, but he didn't expect to intensify it, and tried his best to win over Meng'an Mouke everywhere, and had close contacts with Xiao Yu, and now Wan Yan Bingde's husband has come to take refuge again, making him even more arrogant, and not putting us old people in his eyes." Sa Lijiu's face was ugly and he snorted coldly and said, he is now not only being set aside, but even the personal soldiers of the prison army have been replaced, in fact, he has been under house arrest, if it were not for the Song army to invade, it would be difficult for him to be free.

"Then Xiao'er must have a heart of disobedience to seize the military power, why don't you report to the Taishi and His Majesty?" Wanyan Nie asked anxiously, he didn't want to die so inexplicably.

"His Majesty is moody, kills people at every turn, the courtiers are silent, and His Majesty has been friends with Wan Yanliang since childhood, and has a lot of trust in him. And now that the enemy is present, I can't help but have some scruples about moving his master at this moment, so as not to provoke a big change, so why should I be bored. Sali said with a smile.

"Prison army, then our going to Laizhou is tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger, it's really unwilling!" Now I know that there is a big pit in front of me, but I still have to jump down, Wan Yan Nie said worriedly.

"Alas, it is rumored that the condition of the Taishi is getting worse and worse, and the court has to be carried to the upper hall, I am afraid that it will ...... If that little boy gains power once we can escape with our lives, I'm afraid there will be no good outcome. "Scattering and drinking, the Jin country has been in civil strife since the founding of the country, and the Taishi has been calm for more than ten years after taking power, but now it looks like there are not a few years to live, and as soon as they die, they will be finished.

"Prison Army, I heard that Saili lives very well in the Great Song Dynasty, with a good mansion, a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine, and lives a free life!" Wanyan Nie Er suddenly said with a smile.

"yes, he's found a good place to spend the rest of his life in peace!" Sa Li sighed, and did not say whether he could beat the horse forward......

…………

At the same time that the emperor swore in the Northern Expedition in Beijing, Zhao Lian also rushed to Pingzhou to rendezvous with Gao Chong to establish a joint command post to prepare for the emperor's arrival, and at the same time sent troops to the front to assemble on the border, but they disagreed on how to use the troops.

"I have no objection to using the navy to launch a landing operation to cut off the enemy's retreat, but I think it is safer to land in Xizhou to ensure victory in the first battle!" Zhao Lian said.

"Although it is certain to land in Xizhou, it is difficult to surround the army of the enemy's left marshal mansion and achieve the goal of total annihilation!" Gao Zhong did not agree with Zhao Lian's plan.

"Marshal, to enter Jinzhou, we must go up from the Xiaoling River, because we swore in advance, although the river has been civilized, but the amount of water is not abundant, and it is difficult for the large warships of the naval division to enter, and Jinzhou City is the garrison of the enemy's left marshal's mansion, the city is strong, the troops are strong, and the small warships are difficult to carry heavy troops, and they cannot provide sufficient firepower, which will bring great difficulties to the operation." Zhao Lian reminded Gao Chongdao.

"This ...... This will cause us difficulties, but this is less than fifty miles of waterway, and if we seize the beachhead, the army can then land and go straight to the city, and the artillery brigade can follow up with firepower, so this is not a problem! Gao Pet groaned slightly.

"Dashuai, Deputy Capital Yuhou, Your Majesty has arrived!" Just as the two were arguing about where to attack, a soldier suddenly came in and said.

"陛xià...... Where has Majesty been there? The two of them asked in surprise, yesterday the messenger reported that the emperor had only arrived in Yanjing, how could he arrive in Pingzhou so quickly...... (To be continued......)
