Of course, the alliance of rain and lotus is not as simple as determining the emperor, but mainly agrees on two points: with the Yangtze River as the boundary, the Song Dynasty will pay New Year's coins. The New Year's coin of the Song Dynasty will only begin to be paid after the Jin State completely conquers the north of the Yangtze River, to put it bluntly, the Song Dynasty Zhao Gou spent money, and the Jin State solved Bianliang. These details were all explored by Shi Qian one by one, and Hu Yangeng and Zhang Xian were reported.

"I just withdrew from Bianliang, how can I have the heart to attack Bianliang again?" Wanyan Wushu said: "However, the land that is already coming over must be taken first." ”

Wanyan Wushu remembered what Wanyan Muhan said: "The Song people are weak, Hebei is not safe, it is advisable to go to Shaanxi first, and slightly determine the five roads...... Then take Song. ”

Fuping, the western army's Chang'an strategy is still "preparing", Jun Nai did his best to do all the things in Shaanxi, and the gold, silver, money, silk and grain in Fuping were like a mountain.

A general hurriedly came to Zhang Jun's big tent, made a report, and without waiting for a response from the tent, he opened the curtain and entered.

Zhang Jun was sitting in the middle of the big tent, his face was full of anger, and when he saw the comer, his face slowed down, but he still asked sternly: "Wu Luan, why are you so flustered?" ”

The one who broke into the account was Zhang Jun's ironclad guard leader Wu Lan, who was ordered by Zhang Jun to investigate the enemy near Chang'an.

"The verdict was announced, and there was a brigade of golden soldiers, coming in and out of Chang'an."

"Brigade of Jin Bing, how many people."

"There are three golden armies, each with two or three thousand men."

"It's just 10,000 people. Why the alarm? ”

"The verdict was announced, two or three thousand people, all of them are the scale of Meng'an, I'm afraid that it's just the commander's personal soldiers who have entered Chang'an Jingzhao Mansion, and the brigade is stationed elsewhere."

"One episode of my Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses can be a golden person." Liu Ziyu said on the side. He was a loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and now he was full of hope that Zhang Jun's Western Army would stand up and become the second force to counterbalance Huyangeng.

Qu Duan sneered: "I don't know how, with a broom?" For the reuse of broom silicon? ”

Stunned, Jun was silent, and said unhappily: "The general holds the saying that he will not fight, how can he be a general?" ”

Qu Duan said: "For a long time, it is difficult for people to compete with the new momentum of the gold people without fighting." And it is advisable to train soldiers and horses to protect the frontier, and it will take ten years before they can discuss the war. ”

Zhang Jun was furious, and the conspiracy was disagreeable, and Duan Yin resigned thinking that he was all transferred to the army and just followed the army, so he didn't need to say anything.

It seems that by the middle of August, the weather began to get cooler day by day, and it was time for a big deal to be decided.

Zhang Jun took the Xihe River as the capital to make Liu Xi the capital. In September, Qin Ting personally supervised the battle. In addition to the Yan Yan Road, 200,000 horses and 70,000 soldiers of the Fifth Route were about to help each other.

Zhang Jun was overjoyed when he saw that the soldiers and horses had gathered, and said that he could enter Youyan from now on, and asked Qu Duan: "How?" ”

Qu Duan didn't raise his eyelids and said, "It will be defeated." ”

Zhang Jun held back his anger and said with a slight threat: "What if you are undefeated? ”

Qu Duan said: "If the soldiers who pronounce the sentence are not defeated, they will die with the sword." ”

Zhang Jun was furious and said, "Can you blame it?" ”

The end of the paper and pen order said: "If you are not defeated, a certain military law." ”

Jun said: "If Jun is not victorious, he should be the head and the general." ”

The two made a military order and gambled, and Zhang Jun sent out a scout horse to investigate the dynamics of the golden soldiers.

At this time, the five western armies have been gathered in Fuping, looking at the transfer scene of the crowd and the mighty 200,000 western troops under his command, Zhang Jun is full of spirit, Zhang Jun has never seen such a majestic scene in his life, nor has he seen such an imposing army.

A feeling of achievement at your fingertips arises spontaneously, Zhang Jun feels that a war can be set in Hexi, and he can even go east out of the Central Plains to recover the lost land in Hedong, Hebei and Henan, and the troops will come to Youyan, sweep away the Youyan Jin army, shock Huyan Geng, and support the Great Song Dynasty.

The advance of the Western Army has already driven to Chang'an Jingzhao Mansion, but Chang'an Jingzhao Mansion is high and deep, and it is easy to attack the city and will definitely suffer heavy losses. Zhang Jun ordered the creation of a joint venture to surround Chang'an.

However, Chang'an Jingzhao Mansion inherited the scale since the Han and Tang dynasties, and the lock-up joint operation could not be completed overnight, and the Jin soldiers harassed it from time to time, so it could not be built at all.

The siege was protracted, and the money and food consumed were huge, and it was also a great burden on the Song army. Zhang Jun ordered the construction of a joint camp to lock the city, that is, to make a show, after all, to force Yan Lou to go out of the city to fight.

Wu Luan, the chief of the expedition, reported: "The Jin people are eighty miles away from Dafeng County, and the chieftain Wanyan Liduofang is in the same state army, please attack it." ”

"Wanyan Liduo is in the Suide Army?" Liu Ziyu was shocked, "Why didn't you detect it before?" ”

Wu Lan said: "The gold thief is cunning, he has not played the banner, and he has used suspicious soldiers to go back and forth at the Yellow River crossing many times, so the last general has not been able to determine which gold thief it is." ”

Zhang Jun paced repeatedly in the big tent, going around and around, before he looked up and asked Liu Ziyu, "What does Ziyu think?" ”

"When the verdict is announced, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. Send troops to intercept it. ”

"Will the plan be released?"

"From Tongzhou to Chang'an, you must pass through Jinli Mountain, as long as you set up an ambush here, you can intercept Suolu's reinforcements."

"Okay, then according to Ziyu, please control the deployment of troops."

Now replacing Qu Duan as the commander of the Five Roads is Liu Zhongwu's sister-in-law, Liu Xi, who first saluted Zhang Jun and then ordered the drums to gather the generals.

When the generals came, Liu Xi stood high in the hall and took out an arrow: "Zhang Zhongyan and Li Yanqi listen to the order." ”

"Wait for the two of them to go to Jinli Mountain to set up an ambush, there is no need to kill or injure, as long as they set up a suspicious formation, so that the golden thief does not dare to move forward."

These two people are the deputy generals of the Jingyuan Army, and they are the old department of Quduan, Quduan was demoted, and Liu Qi led his army on his behalf, and there were many people in the Jingyuan Army who did not accept Liu Qi. Therefore, Liu Xi sent these two people to Jinli Mountain to set up an ambush, one is the elite of the Jingyuan army, and the other is also to divide and weaken.

Jinli Mountain has been a dangerous place since ancient times. Zhang Zhongyan and Li Yanqi set up an ambush and waited for many days, and finally waited for reinforcements from the Jin soldiers.

A messenger galloped into Zhang Jun's camp and announced: Suo Lu Yong led Wang Bolong to more than 1,000 horsemen, as the precursor of Suo Lu. Yesterday afternoon, it fell into an ambush circle of our troops. When the battle does not move, the army is led back. The two generals, Zhang and Li, judged that Wang Bolong had a reputation for bravery, and although he was ambushed, he would definitely not be defeated so quickly. This must be a plan for his defeat, intent on luring me out of the mountain.

Jinli Mountain is only 100 miles away from Chang'an. This messenger has three horses for one man, and the Marché man is endless, and in one day, he can gallop two back and forth. Therefore, when the events of yesterday afternoon arrived, Zhang Jun would be able to know.

He listened, thought for a while, recognized Zhang Zhongyan and Li Yanqi's judgment, and said: "Do Li Yanqi and Zhang Zhongyan have a countermeasure?" ”

Before the villain came, the two generals were still undecided.

Before he could finish speaking, a horse rushed outside the tent, and the knight turned over and dismounted, shouting an urgent military report along the way, and rushed into the tent.

I didn't have time to bow down and salute, so I sent a letter and reported: "The villain is from the two generals, Zhang and Li. Wang Bolong ambushed Jin Lishan in the middle of the mountain, and faked defeat.

The main force of the captive chieftain is less than a day's journey from Wang Bolong's department. In order to prevent the captive chieftains from preparing in advance, the two generals have made a plan. Determined to take advantage of the geographical advantage, General Li Yanqi personally led 3,000 men to pursue Wang Bolong, and it was bound to turn his fake rout into a real rout. At the same time, it is also good to use this to attack the main force of the captive chieftain. Fight to destroy them all! ”

In the ambush battle outside Jinli Mountain, Li Yanqi was chasing Wang Bolong.

Wang Bolong's messenger stepped forward step by step, and the soles of his boots with cowhide soles stepped on the ground, making a sound like a clatter, as if ringing in everyone's hearts. When he came to enter the hall, he bowed to the ground and said, "The third master of the good sect learned that yesterday afternoon, our unit fell into an ambush circle of Suo Lu in Jinli Mountain. ”

"How's the battle going now?"

Before the villain came, Wang Wanhu decided to retreat in defeat, and at the same time sent a flying horse to inform Gao Wanhu behind him and ask him to prepare early. And succeeded in luring out the thief Wang Yanqi to lead thousands of people out of the mountain and pursue me. When the messenger said this, he turned his head to look at the sky outside the hall, and said, Estimating the hour, it is expected that he should have met the main force led by Gao Wanhu by now. ”

Outside Jinli Mountain, Wang Bolong's troops threw away their armor and abandoned their armor, they were chaotic, they could not form a queue, people crowded and horses collided, and they crossed several streams and rivers one after another. Because of the deep night, in order not to cause Wang Yanqi, who was following behind, to lose his goal, and in order to point out the direction to the scattered soldiers, Wang Bolong specially ordered hundreds of officials to light torches, and looked back on the water, and saw more than 1,000 cavalry scattered on the wilderness for several miles, with fires everywhere, full of people and horses who had feinted defeat and fled.

"How far is it from Jinli Mountain?"

"Twenty miles or two."

"Where is Wang Yanqi's department now?"

"I bit my tail and are in hot pursuit. The forward cavalry of the Nanban is at most seven or eight miles away from me. ”

"What about Gao Wanhu?"

"The strikers of our department are rushing forward, striving to meet Wang Wanhu as soon as possible."

Wang Bolong shook his horsewhip, looked behind him again, and ordered categorically: "Be quick!" You can't give the surrounding counties a chance to get involved. This cadre demoted the official, and as soon as Zhang Jun came, it became a tailwind. Although there are not many garrisons in the county, if they suddenly come behind us and insert them horizontally, according to the current state of our department, it will also be a big threat! Chuan Wu will order, give the striker half an hour later, and must meet with Gao Wanhu! ”

Wang Bolong's deceitful defeat and dispersion, trying to lure the Song army out of the mountain, although it came from Wanyan Liduo's order, was really a risky move.

If you are not careful, it is likely that you will really be as Zhang Zhongyan wishes, and it will change from a fake rout to a real rout. This is a degree of grasp, and it must be pretended to be like it, and it must not be chaotic, and it is also a test of Wang Bolong's ability to control the rhythm of the whole army and the rhythm of the battlefield.

He called the flag bearer over and asked, "What about the flags of the battalions?"

Back to the general, the villain and the flag officers of each battalion have always been in contact with each other from the beginning of the defeat to the present. The general's military order: to be scattered but not chaotic; It is possible to discard unnecessary baggage and even fake military flags, but the channels between superiors and subordinates must be kept open. This was done by all battalions.
