The arrival of Yang Jing did crush the Mongol conspiracy to assassinate Li Tingzhi and Du Shu, but at the same time, it also brought an unexpected war to the Anfeng army, perhaps this is the true thought of the soldiers of the Anfeng army.

But they didn't think deeper, this war was not brought by Yang Jing, but by Ali Buge.

Because even without Yang Jing, Ali Buge would have launched an invasion, but it was Yang Jing's assassination that made the Mongols temporarily leaderless and delayed the initiation of this war.

Although Yalt Taryn was the sister of Ali Buge, there were very few precedents among the Mongols for women to lead their troops.

Although she is Beji, she can't take over the military power just by one identity.

It has also been said earlier that the Mongols are very savage, and the law of the jungle is the benchmark of their survival.

Ali Buge has absolute authority, but it does not mean that these commanders and commanders of thousands will definitely obey the orders of Yale Taryn.

The Mongol soldiers were brave men, and they were not afraid of death, but they would never let a woman take her brothers to the battlefield and lose her life in vain.

Even if they looked down on the army of the Southern Song Dynasty, thinking that even if there was no Ali Buge, they would still be able to capture the Anfeng army, occupy Huainan, and even approach Luzhou and even Jiankang Mansion.

But if Al Taryn had been allowed to lead the troops, perhaps the result would have been completely different.

Yang Jing was naturally able to think of this, so he thought that it would take a long time for Yale Tyren to control the military power, which also bought more time for An Feng's army to be armed.

Li Tingzhi and Du Shu are both good young generals, and after listening to Yang Jing's analysis, many soldiers are also a little relieved.

As the first line of defense, the south bank of the Huai River has become crucial.

Earlier, in order to defend against the Mongols, Du Shu's father, Du Gao, built a lot of forts and fortifications on the bank of the river to prevent the Mongols from landing on the bank, and many horse traps were also dug behind the riverbank, and even the water of the Huai River was introduced, turning the fields near the river bank into mud ponds.

The Mongols swept the world with their cavalry, and these mud pools allowed their horses to sink into the quagmire and lose their mobility.

This is also a reference to the tactics of defending against the Liao during the Northern Song Dynasty, and it has proved to be indeed effective and feasible.

In addition, Yang Jing also took out some tactics of the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang and shared them with these generals.

Among them, there are soil methods such as wolf whisks, although the method is earthy, but it is very effective.

The water and soil on both sides of the Huai River are moist, there are also a lot of bamboos, select the big bamboo, cut off the leaves, leave the big branches, after sharpening, it is the jagged wolf whire, used to prevent the enemy from landing on the shore, the most suitable but.

Of course, this is just a small tactic, Yang Jing didn't have much hope, he had already asked Chen Mi to send a secret letter back through the intelligence channel of the Imperial City Division, if Zhao Yun allowed it, then the guns made by the craftsman group would be given priority to the An Feng army.

Before Yang Jing left, he actually discussed this issue with Zhao Yun, and also made a preparatory plan, Zhao Yun also needed to test the actual combat effect of these rifles, so there was still a lot of hope.

And it was during this discussion that Zhao Yun accepted Yang Jing's suggestion and named the Craftsman Group the Shenhuo Battalion, which was also the source of inspiration for Yang Jing to learn from the Daming Shenji Battalion.

In any case, if the first batch of rifles produced could be supported in time, then the chances of victory in this battle would be even greater.

During this period, Yang Jing, Li Tingzhi and others also sent several letters, stating the inevitability and necessity of this war, hoping that the imperial court could provide timely support, because no matter how the imperial court argued, this war would definitely break out.

If the civil and military officials of the imperial court only cared about arguing, the Anfeng army could only be lost, and it was possible to cooperate sincerely with the enemy to defend the Anfeng army or even counterattack Huaibei and recover the lost territory.

Yang Jing believes that Zhao Yun, who has regained his strength and wants to clean up the old rivers and mountains, should understand this truth.

Things are really developing as Yang Jing expected, although Yang Jing humiliated the Mongol army, but Huai Shi Zhen really stood still, presumably they were fighting with Yalt Taryn.

Li Tingzhi and the others also felt a pity, if they could take the initiative to attack at this time, there would be no need to wait for someone to beat them up and then fight back.

It's a pity that the law of the imperial court is like this, and perhaps it is precisely because of such a bloated and inefficient imperial court that the Southern Song Dynasty army continues to suffer big defeats.

Li Tingzhi, Du Shu and others are actively preparing for the war, and Yang Jing is not idle, because he still has one thing to complete, that is, to meet the Taoist priests who are heading south!

At first, when he was still in Huai Shi Town, he was imprisoned all the time, so he did not pay attention to whether the Taoist priests had arrived in the Huainan area.

However, Chen Mi, Li Yu, Lin Jue and others are lurking in Huai Shijun Town, according to their statement, there are three sects and nine streams in that place, and there are a lot of fake Taoist priests who pretend to be gods and ghosts, and there are also orthodox Taoists, but the scale is not very large, it should not be Zong Yun and others who went south.

According to the information from the Longshan Temple and the Daolu Division, the controversy between Buddhism and Taoism in the north has been settled, and Taoism led by Quanzhen Dao was officially banned by the Mongol Empire.

And such a big sect as Quanzhen Dao, full of background, low-key, may be able to survive, after all, Qiu Chuji was canonized by Genghis Khan himself, and the Mongols did not dare to exterminate the Quanzhen Sect.

But other sects don't have such good luck.

Besides, the Mongols are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they took this opportunity to loot and plunder, and many other sects were deliberately regarded by them as Taoist sects, arrested and looted, and did everything they could.

In this way, the southbound team led by Zong Yun and Dong Shangzhi and Ge Changgeng is very huge, and it is absolutely impossible to have no news at all.

The reason why human beings are social animals is because there are many people and they have great strength, and they can survive better if they are united.

A large team of so many people wants to cross the defense line of Huaishi Military Town and smuggle to Huainan, it is simply difficult to reach the sky!

It is precisely because of this that it is necessary for Yang Jing and Chen Xixian of Longshan Temple and others to go to pick them up, formulate routes for them, provide guidance and protection along the way, and so on.

Yang Jing has always been worried about the safety of Zong Yun and the others, and now Yale Tyren is busy fighting for military power, and he doesn't know if his own health problems have been properly resolved, so at this time, it is only appropriate to choose to pick up Zong Yun and others.

When Yang Jing told Li Tingzhi and others about his idea, these people naturally strongly opposed it.

Not to mention that Yale Tyren regards Yang Jing as a mortal enemy, the Mongols in the entire Huai Shi military town are eager to cut Yang Jing with a thousand knives, Yang Jing sneaks into Huaibei again, and he is simply killing himself, just saying that Yang Jing's control of the situation of the battle and some ideological guidance provided by strategy and tactics make these soldiers of the Anfeng Army feel inseparable from Yang Jing as an inspection and observer.

It is said that one of the official positions that military generals hate the most should be the supervision of the army or the inspection class, but Yang Jing has become an exception.

This is naturally inseparable from Yang Jing's dedication and achievements, but part of the reason is also due to Yang Jing's personal bearing and charm.

Although he was resolute and resolute, he did not have any bureaucratic style or arrogance, at least he did not treat the soldiers of the Anfeng Army with hostility.

Some people like the prison army, once they are sent to the place, they will give people a face as if they say, you are all a group of moths and garbage, you only know how to waste food and defeat the war, and to keep you is to drag down the court, as a prison army, I am here to deal with you!

But Yang Jing is different, he can put himself in the shoes of the soldiers and consider, and even renovate the barracks and daily use of the soldiers of Anfeng Army, etc., he personally supervised and put forward a lot of opinions and suggestions.

The officers and men of the An Feng Army can feel this kind of care, their barracks have become cleaner and more spacious and bright, and their food has also been improved, but their training methods and intensity have also changed.

Yang Jing didn't have much involvement in the military, but he had participated in military training, but he took out the set of military training and shared it with Li Tingzhi, Du Shu and others, analyzed the feasibility, and made some changes according to local conditions, and put it into daily training.

This military training model is the law that millions of troops are using, existence is reasonable, millions of troops in my Great Heavenly Empire are using it, and it has not changed, indicating that it is the crystallization of wisdom, maybe three or five days has no obvious effect, but if you can stick to it and persevere, Yang Jing believes that the combat power of An Fengjun will definitely be improved by leaps and bounds!

Of course, these are just some of the things he can do, in addition, there are new military regulations such as military discipline rectification and reward and punishment regulations, which are all unheard of by Li Tingzhi and others, but they are amazing innovations.

They have been convinced of Yang Jing, it is not difficult to implement it, and the Anfeng Army itself is a front-line border army, discipline and combat effectiveness, etc., are outstanding in the Great Song Army, and the execution is more thorough than other armies.

With the support of Li Tingzhi and Du Shu, Yang Jing, who killed Ali Buge, had enough prestige among the sergeants, and these changes were implemented relatively smoothly.

When all this gradually got on the right track, Yang Jing finally made preparations with Feng Ruochen and the others, and began the plan to go north to pick up Zong Yun and the others!

Huai Shi Town has been under martial law, it is unlikely that Yang Jing and others want to pass through Huai Shi Town, and Yale Tyren is fighting for military power, in order to prevent large-scale turmoil, the Mongols will definitely block Huai Shi Jun Town, Zong Yun and others are not stupid roe deer who crashed into the pit, they will definitely be able to detect the crisis of Huai Shi Jun Town, and they should not be using Huai Shi Jun Town as a foothold.

Therefore, after Yang Jing discussed with Feng Ruochen and others, he decided to go west along the Huaishui River, and then cross the river to Caizhou, although it has been occupied by the Mongols, it is also a large state capital.

Moreover, Caizhou used to be Tangzhou, and the other side of Tangzhou was the barrier of the Southern Song Dynasty, which gave the Mongolians a headache for several years.

As a frontline town against the Mongols, Xiangyang Province has cultivated strong resistance to pressure and a mature strategic and tactical system, which is enough to continue to hold back the Mongol iron hooves for several years.

It is precisely for this reason that Xiangyang Mansion has also become the preferred place for Han people to flee in the north, and many northern refugees continue to flee to Xiangyang Mansion, and it is difficult to guarantee that Zong Yun and others will not choose Xiangyang Mansion.

Thinking of Xiangyang Mansion, Yang Jing couldn't help but think of the large caravan that fled from Dali and was rescued by Yang Jing halfway when he went to Dali.

But these are all later words, Yang Jing and Feng Ruochen and the others made enough preparations, and then went west.
