successfully captured Youzhou City, Zeng Zhilin, Huang Hai and others set the list to calm the people, arranged for their subordinates to maintain law and order in the city, search for and suppress the remnants of the enemy, and appease the local Han officials, so that they could still perform their duties normally; On the one hand, he sent a telegram to the committee to report the battle, and asked the brothers in the rear if they would leave the "Liangyuan" immediately and come to Youzhou City.

Naturally, the committee spoke highly of and appreciated the achievements of the "Northern Route Army," but it was not immediately able to draw a conclusion on the question of whether the brothers in the rear had entered Youzhou City. Although the rear brothers entered Youzhou City in a high-profile manner, it can highlight the image of the victors of the "Qingyuan" brothers, show the strength of the "Qingyuan" brothers, and let the world know whose hands the Khitans in the land of Youyun were defeated. However, the war is still going on, and there are 100,000 Khitan troops outside the Great Wall, and it is still too early to celebrate the victory. As the saying goes, "arrogant soldiers will be defeated", the crossing crowd must not have the idea of underestimating the enemy at this time, must not relax thinking that the overall situation has been decided, and must not be the Li Zicheng who has ruined his brilliant future - not to mention that the current achievements of the crossing team are far inferior to that of Li Zicheng in the previous life.

Second, it is estimated that Xu Shao'an's previous rhetoric aimed at delaying the time for Zhou Jun to turn against him made Chai Rong and his subordinate Wenwu have some unrealistic ideas, and felt that the purpose of the "Qingyuan" brothers' anti-Liao this time was just to create a peaceful and peaceful life for themselves, rather than really wanting to establish themselves as kings and divide one party. Therefore, at this time, the Hou Zhou army had already left Baoxingzhuang and marched towards Liangxiang. Obviously, Chai Rong was not willing to sit back and wait for the "Qingyuan" brothers to help him clear all the obstacles in front, and then invite him to enter the city. He hoped to take the initiative into his own hands, and hoped to express the court's determination to recover the sixteen states of Youyun to the "Qingyuan" brothers with his actual actions of continuing to go north until Youzhou City. If the committee and other brothers in the rear entered Youzhou City at this time, then it would be inevitable to meet Chai Rong, it would inevitably be necessary to talk about the future status of the "Qingyuan" brothers, and it would inevitably be necessary to make a choice between surrender and surrender or opposition and resistance. And with the Khitan reinforcements already in the city, the crossing team could not concentrate on dealing with the actions of the Later Zhou court now, and it was obviously not the best time to meet Chai Rong face to face at this time - if they met at this time, then Xu Shao'an's previous efforts to venture back to the Zhou camp would be in vain.

Moreover, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the battle of the army in the front, the brothers in the rear have a lot of things to do, and it is impossible to leave the base camp to enjoy Qingfu in Youzhou City. Therefore, after some discussion, the committee and the brothers in the rear agreed that it was not appropriate to enter Youzhou City now. However, considering the possibility that Chai Rong is really coming to Youzhou City as everyone expected, and the battle between the main force of the crossing team and the Liao reinforcements has not yet ended, as well as the need to maintain the normal operation of the government in Youzhou City, the crossing team should indeed send a member who has a strong voice, can deal with Chai Rong, can buy enough time for the main force of the crossing team to complete the blocking task and return to Youzhou City, and can suppress the former officials of the Nanjing Left-behind Mansion who have long been panicked. Therefore, while deciding that the brothers in the rear would not enter Youzhou City, the committee also decided to send Zhang Weixin to Youzhou City to serve as the temporary head of the garrison and administrative affairs. As a local with political experience in this era, and at the same time the most closely related to the crossing team and the most loyal to the crossing team in this era, Zhong Youpeng will also walk with Zhang Weixin and serve as Zhang Weixin's deputy.

In addition, considering that after Chai Rong arrived in Youzhou City, he was likely to propose to Zhang Weixin to meet with several other leaders of the "Qingyuan" brothers, the members of the committee, especially Wang Kunjun, and that it was still necessary to maintain an alliance with the Later Zhou court, and Wang Kunjun was now only in charge of the overall situation and coordinating various departments, and was not like Li Junwu, Xu Shaoan, and even alternate member Yang Xin who could politely refuse Chai Rong's summons under the pretext of having practical work that could not be left. Wang Kunjun should no longer stay in the "Liangyuan", which is only a few dozen miles away from Youzhou City, but should go to a place where he has a good reason to go and at the same time stay away from Youzhou City. After the discussion of the brothers, this location was finally chosen in Yuguan (Shanhaiguan). On the one hand, this is the key to blocking the reinforcements of the Liao State, and Wang Kunjun, as one of the leaders of the "Qingyuan" brothers, is a matter of course for him to come to the front line to command. On the other hand, Yuguan (Shanhaiguan) is more than 300 miles away from Youzhou, Chai Rong must see him, and Wang Kunjun can also use the long distance as an excuse to delay the return to Youzhou City as much as possible, until his own armed Liliang solves the Liao reinforcements. …,

The plan has been decided, and the committee telegraphed Xu Shaoan, Qian Yuanshan, Zeng Zhilin and other brothers abroad of the relevant decisions, and on the other hand, they immediately took action to prepare for the next day's trip. On the morning of the fifth day of the fourth month of the fourth lunar month in the ninth year of the Ying calendar (the sixth year of Xiande), Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin said goodbye to the brothers who stayed in the base camp, and Cheng Fei led a platoon of personal guards and the eight battalions of the third regiment of the "Flying Dragon Army" who were originally responsible for escorting the prisoners into the mountain to protect them, and left Xiayunling and went down the mountain -- originally according to Yang Xin's idea, it was planned to let the eighth battalion escort Wang Kunjun to Yuguan (Shanhaiguan), but the latter took into account that there were many points and long distances that needed to be defended on the front line of the Great Wall. The Eighth Battalion should be rebuilt, and Xu Shao'an, who is responsible for the first-line defense from Gubeikou to Juyong Pass, should be commanded, and he only needs a platoon of personal guards to accompany him, and there is no need to transfer the infantry of the "Flying Dragon Army". Regarding Wang Kunjun's opinion, Yang Xin disagreed with one hundred people. He believed that the road to Yuguan (Shanhaiguan) was long, and it was very likely that he would encounter the Liao army's rout, bandits, and powerful private soldiers, and he must not be careless. The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, but Zuihou or Li Junwu and Zhang Weixin came forward and proposed a compromise plan that the Eighth Battalion would first escort Wang Kunjun, Zhang Weixin and others to Youzhou City and return them to Xu Shao'an, and then a company of the brotherly "Wolf Tooth Battalion" stationed in Youzhou City would escort Wang Kunjun to Yuguan (Shanhaiguan), which resolved the differences between the two.

On the afternoon of the fifth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, Wang Kunjun and his entourage arrived in Youzhou City, and were connected to the city by the Yellow Sea, which was left behind in Youzhou City, to rest - Zeng Zhilin, Wu Peng, Xin Feiyu and others had already led the main force of the "Northern Route Army" to leave Youzhou City that morning and went to the front line of the Great Wall, while Huang Hai led the six battalions of the second regiment of the "Feilong Army", the third cavalry battalion, some artillery, and two regiments of the "security army" to stay behind. Early the next morning, bidding farewell to Huang Hai and Zhang Weixin, who had stayed in charge of the affairs of Youzhou City, Wang Kunjun embarked on the official road to Yuguan (Shanhaiguan) under the escort of a platoon led by Cheng Fei and a company of soldiers from the "Wolf Tooth Battalion" who had stayed behind and did not act with the main force.
