…

Since the Yangtze River has been lost, Tong Guan has nothing to worry about.

The key is that Tong Guan didn't want to engage in refueling tactics, and was broken by Li Cun one by one.

Therefore, although the situation in the southeast was very critical, Tong Guan still suppressed his impatience and slowly gathered troops.

At the end of the first month, Xin Xingzong and Yang Weizhong commanded the Xihe soldiers, Liu Zhen and Yang Keshi commanded the Jingyuan soldiers, Zhao Ming commanded the Huanqing soldiers, Huang Di commanded the Yan soldiers, Ma Gong directly commanded the Qin Fengbing soldiers, and Jijing commanded the Hedong soldiers, a total of six soldiers and horses, all of which were concentrated in Nanjing Yingtianfu under the control of Liu Yanqing.

At the same time, at the strong request of Tong Guan before leaving, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army also sent 200,000 forbidden troops this time, which were controlled by Guo Zhongxun, He Guan and other generals, and also came to Nanjing Yingtianfu one after another.

In addition, Tong Guan transferred the forbidden army, Xiang army, and township army of Jingdong West Road, Jingdong East Road, and Huainan East Road to Yingtianfu in Nanjing, Song Dynasty.

In total, the internal and external armies, the Song army, which was transferred to the southeast, numbered about 500,000 people.

Of course, a large part of them are mainly people who act as escorts for grain and grass materials, and their combat effectiveness is very limited.

When the people of the various departments were about to be assembled, Tong Guan and the others suddenly heard a piece of news that made their expressions change greatly!

- Yangzhou was also broken by the Tiger Army, and the Tiger Army had already crossed the river to the north......

……

Tan Zhi, who lost the Yangtze River, fled to Yangzhou and re-hung the sign of the Liangzhejiang Road System Envoy in Yangzhou.

After more than ten days of Zhao Lingqi's convergence, Tan Zhi was pleasantly surprised to find that there were still more than 40,000 Song troops who fled to Yangzhou, plus the landlord armies who fled from Jiangning Mansion and Runzhou, he actually had 50,000 or 60,000 horses in his hands!

This number lifted Tan Zhen's spirits.

Tan Zhi quickly suppressed the frustration of defeat, self-examined, and then personally went deep into the troops, mourning the death and wounded everywhere.

In this process, Tan Zhi selected a group of generals who performed well in the last conference battle to hold important positions.

Tan Zhen's various measures gradually calmed the hearts of the Song army and temporarily stabilized the situation.

It is said that Tan Zhi is understandable for doing this.

But the problem is that Tan Zhi only remembered to revive the morale of the Song army, but forgot that he was still fighting.

In the Battle of Danyang, although the Song army was defeated, it still had a lot of combat effectiveness.

It can be said that if Tan Zhi makes good arrangements and makes good use of the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, he can still prevent the Tiger Ben army from crossing the river to the north.

However, Tan Zhi heard from the landlords who fled to Yangzhou that after he was defeated and fled across the Yangtze River with the remnants of his army, the Song army in Runzhou and Jiangning Mansion had lost its resistance strength, and the Tiger Ben Army took this opportunity to attack the city in Jiangning Mansion and Runzhou, and was arrogant.

Tan Zhen, who had already seen that Li Cun actually only had 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers to fight, believed that in this case, Li Cun had no strength, and he did not dare to cross the river to fight him again, and would only rely on the Yangtze River to defend it.

Therefore, Tan Zhi only set up a small number of observation posts in a few important places on the north bank, and did not send a large army to blockade the Yangtze River.

In other words, Tan Zhi never thought that Li Cun would suddenly cross the river and then attack Yangzhou.

It can even be said that Tan Zhen, who was bent on reviving the morale of the Song army, did not pay any attention to the movements of the Tiger Army.

Therefore, the Song army did not guard against the surprise attack of the Tiger Ben army.

Moreover, Tan Zhi has been constantly rewarding the soldiers of the Song Army in the recent period.

And because it is currently during the Spring Festival, according to Zhao Song's practice, the army will hold some social gatherings and find some camp prostitutes to help cheer up or something.

Therefore, during this time, Tan Zhi was busy drinking and carnivaling with the soldiers of the Song Army almost every day.

On the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month, the sky was just dawning, and the soldiers of the Song army, who had been partying until late at night last night, suddenly heard that the tiger army had fallen from the sky, and they immediately fell into a panic.

Tan Shu, who was drunk, took a look at the city, and saw the black tiger-headed banner of the Tiger Ben Army hunting in the morning breeze.

Tan Zhen's wine woke up suddenly, and in the depths of winter, he was covered in a cold sweat.

Without even hesitating, Tan Zhi fled from the city in a hurry.

When the soldiers of the Song Army under Tan Zhi saw that the commander had fled, they immediately followed suit, scattered in a hurry, and fled to the Gaoyou army......

Zhang Wei and several other generals had the heart to restrain the Song army who fled in the wilderness, but in this case, how could a few of them restrain it.

There was no way, and in the end, Zhang Wei and others could only escape from Yangzhou City with the rout.

Li Cun, who only led the pro-guard horse army to harass the Song army, saw this scene during the march, and immediately changed his original strategic purpose and directly led the pro-guard horse army to kill the city gate.

As a result, the gates were wide open, and there was not even a single defender.

Li Cun immediately divided four battalions of horse troops, let Chen Hoopong, who came with the army, lead the occupation of Yangzhou City, and at the same time sent Liang Hongyu to take his own token and bring a team of horse troops back to transfer the front army, the rear army and 30,000 people to bring the big boat.

After explaining all this, Li Cun immediately led the remaining horse army north to cover and kill the Song army.

- It's not that Li Cun wants to kill them all, but Li Cun is afraid that Tan Zhi and them will react that this is just a harassing feint, and then kill back.

Li Cun took the pro-guard horse army all the way north, and scattered all the Song troops that had formed into a system along the way, until they reached the Gaoyou army, so that the soldiers of the pro-guard horse army showed off their might outside the Gaoyou army, and then led the crowd back to Yangzhou City.

"The Art of War" reads: "The victory or defeat of a soldier is all about courage and cowardice." It also reads: "Courage, can destroy the strong." ”

Li Cun has proved through practice that the brave win when they meet on a narrow road, and sometimes being brave can really turn danger into disaster, or even turn defeat into victory, while cowardice can only lead to failure.

Li Cun felt a feeling, and said to the left and right: "Our generation of soldiers, in the face of a strong enemy, knowing that they are invincible, must also show their swords, even if they fall, they must become a mountain, a ridge ......."

After listening to Li Cun's words, the soldiers who guarded the horse army were all in awe of Li Cun, and they all thought, how awe-inspiring, how resolute, what happiness, and what courage the Metropolitan Governor is!

Actually-

Li Cun's words are just an introduction.

Many of the soldiers who have followed Li Cun since Qingxi have seen with their own eyes how Li Cun owned more than 50 counties in five states from scratch (if Yangzhou is also counted, it is six states), and they have also seen with their own eyes how Li Cun defeated the Song army that they feared again and again.

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Cun is now guarding the soldiers of the Ma Army, no, in the eyes of the soldiers of the entire Tiger Army, he is a god-like existence.

It seems that as long as you follow Li Cun, there is no battle that you can't win.

Like this time.

Before Li Cun sent out his troops, almost all of those civilian officials opposed Li Cun's sneak attack on the Song army across the river, and even more opposed to Li Cun's personal involvement in danger.

But Li Cun dropped a sentence, "Only by attacking and defending can you defend yourself." Then he led the guards and horses to cross the river secretly.

Who would have thought that there would be no defenders at all in several dangerous places on the north shore.

Seeing this, Li Cun immediately made a decision, and led the horse army to attack Yangzhou City.

As a result, as soon as Li Cun appeared, he scared away tens of thousands of defenders and easily captured the important town of Yangzhou City.

The soldiers who guarded the horse army were still like a dream, and naturally what Li Cun said felt was the truth.

Actually-

God knows, Li Cun led the personal guard horse army across the river, in fact, he wanted to scare Tan Zhi, including the upcoming Tong Guan, so that they thought that they were ready to burn the war to Jiangbei, or even to the Central Plains, disrupt their battle plan, and win him more time to recuperate, he had no intention of attacking Yangzhou at all.

It's Tan Zhi who is too particular, and when he saw Li Cun coming, he immediately gave Yangzhou to Li Cun, so how could Li Cun live up to Tan Zhen's kindness?

When Li Cun led the pro-guard horse army back to Yangzhou City, the pro-guard front army, the pro-guard rear army and the 30,000 people that Li Cun wanted had not yet come.

It wasn't until the next hour that the front guards arrived.

At that time, the rear army of the personal guard also arrived.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the 30,000 people arrived in Yangzhou City with more than 1,000 large ships.

As soon as they arrived in Yangzhou City, they began to skillfully conduct public trials of the officials and gentry in Yangzhou City......

At the same time, the 30,000 people began to load the mountains of booty captured by Li Cun into the more than 1,000 large ships they had brought and the thousands of large and small ships they had captured from Yangzhou......

Seeing that only 30,000 people were pretending to be too slow, the officials of the Huben Army, after consulting Li Cun, hired people from Yangzhou City to help load the ship at a price ten times higher......

Of course, the officials of the Tiger Army did not forget to recruit soldiers, talents, craftsmen, and shipwrights......
