Jinshangjing Road has a total of jurisdiction: a mansion, that is, Huining Mansion; Three states, namely Zhaoju, Jeju and Shinju; Five roads, namely Puhe Road, Lazy Road, Xiangan Road, Hosuguan Road, Huli Road; Six counties, namely Huining County, Zhendong County, Yichun County, Shixing County, Lishe County, and Wuchang County. Now Zhaoju and Shinju among the three states have been lost, and Jeju has also been besieged by the Song army on the South Road and cut off from news. Among the five roads, the lazy road and the Xiangan road also fell into the hands of the Song army. Now the three counties of Yichun, which were under the jurisdiction of Huining Prefecture, have also been captured, indicating that the Song army has penetrated deep into the core of the Jin State.

After learning that the Song army captured Yichun, the government and the opposition were shaken, and the emperor ordered the requisition of all Ding Zhuang on the Jinglu Road as an army, and at the same time called on the soldiers and civilians from all over the country to enter the king of Jingqin. He ordered Wanyan Yanying, the deputy commander of the army, to be the commander of the soldiers and horses on the Shangjing Road, and Tang Kuobi, the Mu of Huining Mansion, to be the deputy marshal, and to concentrate the troops and horses to quickly destroy the Jin army that invaded Huining Mansion and protect the safety of the Beijing Division.

The scouts who had been sent to inquire about the news on the other side finally brought the information that everyone was concerned about: the Song army on the north bank had gone east along the river after resting and being replenished after the war. This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but soon the holy decree arrived in the capital, and in addition to severely reprimanding, he also brought an order that the Song army had captured Yichun and asked him to lead the troops to annihilate the Song army.

After receiving the order, Yan Yanying did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly led the army to Beijing, but at this time, there were less than 70,000 of the tens of thousands of troops under his command. In the night of blood and fire in Zhaozhou, except for the front army crossing the river, only half of the Chinese army was able to cross the river, and the rear army responsible for covering was almost completely annihilated, not killed by the Song army, but also washed away by the surging river. Only a few thousand people were able to escape, and more than half of the hundreds of thousands of troops were lost.

According to reports from the downstream garrison, the corpses of men and horses washed down from upstream at the fork in the road blocked the river. The river water swelled several feet, and there were countless floating corpses along the rivers and inlets. The scene was terrible, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians along the river alone were salvaged and buried. This battle can be said to have greatly damaged the vitality of the Jin army led by Wanyan Yanying, and everyone was frightened. At that time, on the north bank of Zhaozhou, under the city of Zhaozhou and on the banks of the Tongtong River, when the forward groups of the Song army on the west road were surrounded, he had many opportunities to turn the tide of the battle, but his indecision and seeking perfection for a while made him miss a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy.

If he decisively abandons Zhaozhou and suddenly attacks when crossing the river with the Song army; In Zhaozhou City, instead of waiting for the arrival of a large number of reinforcements, you can start an encirclement with it; He even regretted succumbing to the pressure of the imperial court and the authority of the Taishi when withdrawing his troops, and if he launched an attack first, he would have severely damaged the Song army before crossing the river. There would not have been such a heavy loss. It seems that every opportunity can change the situation of the war and change history, but Wanyan Yanying himself gave up the opportunity, so the sky of history will naturally no longer favor the Jin country.

Under today's shape, Yan Yanying can only support it now, he does not dare to hope to completely defeat the Song army's Western Route Army, and he also knows that this is a basically impossible task. After an order was given, the 70,000-strong army rushed to the predetermined location according to the plan to join the other Jin army led by Fusan Zhongyi, blocking the only way to enter Huining Mansion. But when Yan Yanying led the army to arrive, he did not meet Tang Kuobi or Song Jun. Instead, he received another order: the Song army suddenly changed lanes and turned to the northeast, as if to raid the imperial tomb, so that he could immediately go to protect the resting place of his ancestors. And Tang Kuo led the army in pursuit.

Immediately, the 70,000-strong army said goodbye to the Jingshi. Once again, he rushed to Hukai Mountain, where the imperial tomb was located. But when Yan Yanying arrived in a hurry, he found that the Song Army's Western Route Army had not yet arrived, but Tang Kuowen, who was then pursuing, arrived first. Yan Yanying only found out after asking. After the Song army crossed the Haigu River, it judged that the Song army would attack Zhendong County. When he rushed to the east of the town by taking a shortcut, the Song army did not appear. He was worried that he would fall for the Song army's plan to attack the west. He hurriedly crossed the tiger water and rushed to Hukai Mountain to fortify.

The fighter plane seems to have reappeared, maybe the Song army has just crossed the tiger water and is busy resting! However, Tang Kuo argued that the best fighter had been lost, and if he ventured to find it, he would probably be exploited by the floating Song army. And disturbing the emperor's ancestors and ancestors, no one can afford this crime, and Wanyan Yanying is naturally unwilling to take risks on such a critical issue. So the two discussed to defend Hu Kaishan according to the danger, set up a formation, and deployed the infantry army in front of the mountain and the cavalry behind the mountain, and then quietly waited for the arrival of the Song army......

Compared with the intelligence system of the Jin State, the intelligence agencies on the side of the Great Song Dynasty are obviously more complete and efficient. Zhao Litong Guò Military Intelligence Department and Intelligence Department obtained information from the Jin State in time, after Jin Ting learned that he had crossed the river to capture Yichun, it was not just a shock like a legend, it was simply an eight-magnitude earthquake, Wan Yan urgently summoned the ministers to discuss the matter, and wanted to abandon the city and flee to avoid the Song army. The emperor's words made everyone cry and laugh, the Song army was about to run before he arrived, how to fight this battle, and it took a long time of hard persuasion to temporarily dispel this idea.

But the emperor is not leaving for the time being, it does not mean that the crisis is over, and now the Huanglong Mansion has been besieged, and Zhao Erzheng is leading the South Route Army to attack. After the defeat of Yan Yanying in Zhaozhou, the Western Route Army crossed the river from Yichun, and nearly 100,000 enemy troops were less than 200 miles away from the capital, and the shape was already extremely dangerous. After urgent consultations with several important ministers, it was decided to mobilize all the Jurchen men to join the army, and ordered the state capitals and the Meng'an and Mouke stationed in various places to enter the king of Jingqin and resolutely destroy the invading enemy.

After Zhao Li grasped the dynamics of the Jin State, he also obtained the military information of the Jin State in a timely manner, and he knew the enemy's leading generals, the composition of the troops, and the latest movements. Now most of the elite troops stationed in the land of Beijing have been transferred by Wanyan Yanying, and more than half of them have been lost, but they are no longer able to defeat the Song army, so they urgently requisitioned 80,000 troops and handed them over to Tang Kuobi, the commander of the horses, to go for reinforcements.

Perhaps Wushu also knew that since the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty, the Jin army has lost one after another, and the elites deployed in the two marshal's mansions and various provinces have almost lost everything, and the troops requisitioned at this time are uneven, lack of training, and combat effectiveness is definitely not good, so he specially allocated 20,000 troops from the guards guarding the Beijing division to give the name 'Protector Army', strengthened the defense for Tang Kuo, and gathered 100,000 people. After the two armies were combined, the total strength of the auxiliary forces reached 200,000.

However, Zhao Li learned that due to the conquest of the Great Song Dynasty over the years, the land of the Jin State for raising horses was gradually occupied, and the guide zhì war horses were scarce, so he had to requisition supplementary military horses from the people. After the Song army launched the Northern Expedition, the Jin State lost a large number of war horses, which exceeded their replenishment capacity, so they had to reduce the cavalry and increase the infantry army. As a result, almost all of the newly requisitioned troops were organized into infantry troops, and Wanyan Yanying's troops also lost a lot of horses when crossing the river, and the number of cavalry troops was also greatly reduced.

Looking at the overall situation, the Jin State is already at an absolute disadvantage, as long as the Song Army and the two armies work together and cooperate with each other, the destruction of the Jin State is just around the corner. As the supreme commander of the Western Route Army, Zhao Li's main goal was to do everything possible to attract and contain the Najin army, and to create the most favorable conditions for the emperor's Southern Route Army to attack Huining Province. In a head-to-head battle with nearly 200,000 Jin troops, Zhao Li, as a good student of the emperor, was not so stupid, and this was also a critical moment to test his ability. On the one hand, Zhao Li immediately sent a messenger to report to the emperor on the latest progress of the Western Route Army, and asked the emperor to quickly march to Huining; On the other hand, Zhao Li made an astonishing move, he decided to take the initiative to challenge the 200,000 Jin army.

Zhao Li knew that in order to grasp the initiative in the battle, it was necessary to give full play to the operational advantages of the Song army's cavalry, which was efficient and good at maneuvering. And this must be lightly armed, he left the infantry army to which the Dragon Wing Army and the Tiger Wing Army belonged, and the Dragon General who needed to cooperate with the battle, Yichun City, to guard the baggage and pontoon bridges. A total of 13 brigades of the lion generals and cavalry hunters and the dragoons of the dragon wing and lion wing armies formed a mobile corps, carrying 10 days of food, grass and baggage to attack and annihilate the enemy......

In order to avoid falling into the situation of being caught in the middle of the enemy's two armies, Zhao Li first made a posture of attacking Huining City, mobilized Yan Yanying's troops to move closer to Huining, and then suddenly changed the marching path to break the enemy's plan of attacking on both sides. In order to further mobilize the enemy, considering that the Jin army may also take the initiative to attack, Zhao Li chose the battlefield in Hu Kaishan, where the enemy must be saved, which is the birthplace of the Jurchens. The digging of the ancestral tomb is not only a great shame for the Wanyan family, but also will leak the legendary 'royal spirit' and affect the fortune of the country, which is an unbearable disaster for the whole country.

Hukai Mountain lies horizontally in the east and west, sits in the north and faces south, the south of the mountain is wide and gentle but the two sides are uplifted, the north of the mountain is steep and steep and the natural barrier is like an equilateral triangle in the distance. If you look closely, it looks like a straw hat with a slight oblique buckle. The front of the mountain is the confluence of the two tributaries of the Hushui, and the streams overflow between the gaps in the remaining veins that extend from the main peak to the surrounding areas, forming two major headwaters in the east and west, which is indeed a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the army of the Jin army is arranged in front of the mountain and behind the mountain, occupying a favorable terrain.

When Zhao Li led the army to the foot of the mountain, he immediately made arrangements, and the whole army was deployed horizontally like the wings of a goose. He ordered the cavalry hunters to go around the mountain to attack the cavalry harassing the Jin State, and at the same time ordered the dragoons to attack the Jin State Infantry in front of the mountain. And he seems to have pinched the weakness and lifeblood of the Jin country, although the Jin army has a large number of people, but the lack of cavalry and cowardice with the Song army in the field, and they seem to be content with the strong wall to wait for work, and do not dare to take the initiative to attack, so as not to suffer losses!

And Zhao Li also knew very well that he was impossible, and he did not expect to be able to win a battle and eat a fat man in one bite. His aim was to take advantage of the rapid mobility of his cavalry to repeatedly harass and toss the 200,000 troops of the Jin Kingdom, making them restless day and night until the opponent was exhausted, and then he ate meat in his mouth and swallowed it in one bite......
