Huangchuan City is 1,600 miles away from the border of Ezhou.

According to Lin Yuan's estimate, the soldiers traveled 200 miles a day, and after a transfer, they traveled 200 miles at night, and with the blessing of intermediate marching talismans, they could reach the city of Huangchuan in 2 days and 2 nights.

Of course, a long ride is a big test for the soldiers.

Especially on the way back, you still need to ride for a few days, which is a great test of the physical strength of a cavalry.

However, Lin Yuan believed that his cavalry could do it.

Because the Three Emperor Idol BUFF has given everyone in the territory a lot of 30 points of physique, as well as the blessing of the Flame Bear Totem, the physique has almost doubled.

Originally, it could only endure 1 day and 1 night of forced march, but now it can be forced for 2 days and 2 nights.

The endurance of the cavalry was even greater.

After the army entered the territory of Xinyang, it chose those deserted and remote places to march.

Takakura's Iron Eagle scout horse is responsible for finding the way ahead.

Takakura has a skill of [Sky Eagle Reconnaissance] and is very good at high-altitude reconnaissance, and Lin Yuan later found another 5 soldiers with [Sky Eagle Reconnaissance] in the army.

He used this special skill to form a six-man Iron Eagle Scout.

And for each Iron Eagle Scouting Horse, an adult eagle was tamed.

With the good coordination of the six people, using the eagle's field of vision, they can reconnoiter all large-scale personnel activities within a radius of 100 miles.

Personnel such as villages and barracks with frequent activities can be recognized at a glance.

It was precisely because of this strange army that Lin Yuan had the self-confidence, avoided all the lords of Xinyang, and went straight to Huangchuan City.

On April 1, Lin Yuan and his entourage had arrived in Huangchuan City.

There are heavy troops guarding the city of Huangchuan, and it is not suitable to storm it.

However, the defense was very lax, and all caravans, civilians, and rangers who entered and exited Huangchuan City were allowed to pass.

I'm afraid no one thinks that someone can be unfavorable to Zhang Bangchang in an army of 100,000.

After Lin Yuan arrived at Huangchuan City, he ordered all the troops to rest in the woods outside the city and wait until after dark before acting.

Moreover, he had already sent Zhao Yun to disguise himself and blend into the city.

Let Zhao Yun find out the situation in the city, find out the location of Zhang Bangchang's palace, and arrange the guards.

At the same time, he also sent a large number of scouts to inquire about the map of Huangchuan City and the surrounding road conditions.

Find out the situation first, and when the time is ripe, go directly into the city and kidnap Zhang Bangchang.

And while he was planning all this, the pseudo-Chu Palace in Huangchuan City was having a huge feast.

The whole hall is splendid, sharing 28 golden pillars to support, carving dragons and painting phoenixes, beautiful.

On both sides of the main hall, there are officials who are pseudo-Chu, and their costumes still continue the style of officials in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Wenchen sat on the east side, and the military generals sat on the west side.

In the middle is a huge jade stage, and under the stage is the blue water golden lotus.

Prosperous to the extreme, singing and dancing.

At this time, a group of dancers wearing neon clothes and feathers, dancing court music and dance, slowly came to the stage, the water sleeves flew, the landscape was colorful, showing a fairy-like graceful posture, which immediately attracted bursts of applause.

However, not everyone applauded, and some of the civil servants present seemed sullen and tight-lipped.

Sitting at the top is a middle-aged man in a dragon robe, with a square face, full of heaven, gentle eyes, and a little Confucian elegance.

He is Zhang Bangchang, the prime minister of the late Northern Song Dynasty.

After the Jin State destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, he supported him as the emperor of Great Chu and governed the Han people in the north for the Jin people.

The banquet continued, and the cups were changed.

Suddenly, a red-robed minister stood up and walked to the top of the main hall.

He was the lieutenant of the Great Chu regime, Zhang Daozong, and Zhang Bangchang's younger brother.

"Your Majesty, Weichen just got the news that Wang Qian, the envoy of Jingnan in the Southern Song Dynasty, suffered a great defeat on Dongting Lake, and 300,000 Jingnan sailors and 50,000 Shenwuwei were wiped out!"

As soon as the news came out, the audience fell silent.

And those civil officials who looked sullen had even more sadness on their faces, and even a few of them choked up.

Zhang Bangchang drank a glass of imperial wine and asked lightly: "Wang Yu's army, which has an absolute advantage, why was it suddenly defeated?" ”

Zhang Daozong replied: "According to our detailed report, before the decisive battle, Yang Qi retreated a hundred miles, and set up a large number of fake water villages along the way to lure Wang Qi to chase all the way. ”

"And every time he arrived at a water village, Wang Yu led the army to capture it, and arranged for the water division to defend it, and the water division was scattered and weakened, and when he arrived at Yangwukou, Yang Qi suddenly returned to the division, and Zhong Xiang's army, which had already been ambushed, worked together to encircle and annihilate the Southern Song Dynasty water division."

"Only a few hundred vehicles and ships evacuated, Wang Yu wanted to gather the sailors of the various water villages and fight again, but he was ambushed in advance by a fleet of sailors of Chen Youliang, and he was defeated again, and the whole army was directly annihilated!"

After Zhang Bangchang listened, he just nodded.

"The battle of Dongting Lake was defeated, and the Southern Song Dynasty was no longer able to limit Zhong Chu's forces, if you want to completely solve Zhong Chu's forces, you can only appoint Yue Fei as your commander and transfer him south."

"Your Majesty, once Yue Fei goes south and Xiangyang Mansion is empty, I, Da Chu, can take the opportunity to capture it in one fell swoop and completely solve this bridgehead of the Southern Song Dynasty! Eliminate the troubles of the south. Zhang Daozong echoed.

"This is the blessing of Your Majesty, the blessing of all the people!"

"Your Majesty's blessing, the blessing of all people!" The other ministers also hurriedly chimed in.

And at this moment, a red-robed minister suddenly ran in from outside the main hall, panting and saying in a panic.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, Wendy Hantesha, is here again, Wanyan Zongwang seems to be in a hurry, and asks His Majesty why he hasn't attacked Gushi Pass yet."

Zhang Bangchang's brows furrowed visibly when he heard the envoys of the Jin State, especially when he heard the name of Yan Zongwang.

"I know, you go and tell the envoy, just say that three days later, I will lead a large army to attack Gushi Pass, and when the time comes, I will also ask Marshal Wanyan to attack Luzhou Mansion from the north."

"No!" The minister, who received the order, trotted out again.

After he left, Zhang Daozong spoke: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty was not willing to attack Luzhou Mansion a few days ago, why is it now taking the initiative to cooperate with the Jin State to attack this place?" ”

Zhang Bangchang smiled lightly, "This time and that time!" ”

"A few days ago, I was reluctant to attack Luzhou Mansion because the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty still existed, and the morale of the government and the opposition was unified, and a rash attack would definitely cause heavy losses."

"But now, the Southern Song Dynasty has been newly defeated at Dongting Lake, and the morale of the government and the opposition has fallen to the bottom.

"When the time comes, whether it is land or gold and silver, it will not automatically enter my pocket!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"By the way, I haven't seen that kid Wen Guang for a long time, is he here?"

"As soon as this kid arrived in Xinyang, he couldn't wait to take a group of people and horses to Ezhou, saying that he wanted to collect a batch of gold, silver and jewelry for His Majesty as military salaries!"

"Hahaha, this kid has a heart......
