Chen Yu carried the coffin and set out in this way.

He gathered all the troops he could muster and slaughtered Xuyi.

10,000 cavalry.

60,000 infantry, including Xuyi's southward escape.

In fact, there were not many defectors, and 10,000 of the 40,000 defenders defected, and the main ones fled too quickly, and the speed of propaganda did not keep up.

At the same time, the 10,000 infantry stationed in Gaoyou, as well as the 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry separated from Haozhou, were also encircling Xuyi from the left and right directions, and finally the three roads added up to nearly 100,000 troops......

Of course, there is moisture.

It is impossible to have no moisture, how can my Song Dynasty officials and troops not have water.

Everyone has to eat.

However, because Chen Yu's guarantee in terms of food and salary was always sufficient, the situation of eating empty salaries was much lighter than that of the forbidden army in the past, and the book figure of 95,000 had to have the actual number of 70,000 or 80,000, especially the 10,000 cavalry was a real number. Or it should be a real number, the great painter has repeatedly warned the Liu family and his son that they must be real, and for this reason, they specially give the Liu family and their son an extra reward every year, in short, they should not eat empty pay in the army.

This cavalry is too important.

It's only 10,000, and if you eat 30% of the empty salary, how can you fight?

But the specifics ......

Anyway, Chen Yu can't control them, and it's not very clear.

Although this cavalry is under his command, it belongs to the imperial camp in terms of establishment, and the great painter did not rebuild the past palace front division and the guard division, but set up a separate imperial camp division, with Gao Yu as the imperial camp envoy, this cavalry is the imperial camp Sima Army, all of which control Liu Guangshi.

In fact, there are also naval troops and infantry troops, and these two are commanded by Gao Yu.

Liu Yanqing originally had no actual position, he just wore the signboard of the Taibao and the king of Yan'an County to enjoy Qingfu at home, his eldest son Liu Guangguo was the commander of the Huainan Xuanfu Division, and the other son Liu Guangneng was the commander of the Huaixi Zhizhi Division, and the three sons all held heavy troops, so he could no longer hold real power, which was also the result of the infighting in the court after the great painter crossed to the south.

After all, the ministers were full of vigilance against the Liu family.

Liu Yanqing's sons are all military leaders with military power, and let him be in charge of the Privy Council and other places, then the ministers really can't stand it, the more times like this, the more cautious they have to be, and in the end he retires, and his sons are in power. And the Xuanfu envoys in various places pacified the subordinates who were under the control of the capital, and they recruited troops in various places by themselves, and finally the armies in various places were under the control of Wenchen, so as to restrain Liu Yanqing and his son.

But now Liu Yanqing has added the title of a patrol envoy to his head.

He is considered a great painter.

After all, now that his three sons are in battle, Chen Yu may not be able to command if he doesn't get out of the horse!

Zhenjiang.

The great painter sat proudly on his shoulders.

The streets on both sides were filled with countless cheering crowds, especially the students, who were even more enthusiastic in cheering for His Majesty the Heroic Emperor.

The royal conquest!

His Majesty the Emperor finally rose up.

At this moment, everyone forgot his deception, maybe he was also deceived by Zhao Mingcheng, and he also forgot that he ran away again and again, after all, he was also forced by the situation, and he also forgot all kinds of strange behaviors of their father and son's vicious fight, after all, it was more against Wang Yue's ferocity. In short, at this moment, in the eyes of these officials, gentry and students who do not know the real situation, His Majesty the Emperor finally stepped forward to take responsibility at the last critical moment, and bravely chose to fight like a real man.

More than 100 years ago, his great-great-grandfather relied on the imperial conquest to protect the Great Song Dynasty, although he sustained peace......

But if you can use the royal drive to conquer now, you can also exchange it for a similar covenant!

After all, the Jiangnan gentry did not have much interest in restoring the north, in fact, in their opinion, this is very good at the moment.

In the past, six million stone of grain were delivered a year.

But now there is no need to send grain to the north, and there is no need to send commercial taxes to the north, although they still have to be paid, but in the south of the Yangtze River they return to the pockets of the gentry through circulation, and such a day is really good, that is, it costs a lot of money to maintain hundreds of thousands of troops. But if you can really force Wang Yue to negotiate peace and maintain the current situation through a victory, then you can completely reduce the army, after all, there are Jurchens behind Wang Yue, if this decisive battle fails, Wang Yue probably has no confidence to continue fighting.

In short, the voices cheering at the great painters at this moment were all truly heartfelt, and the officials, gentry, and students really cheered for the emperor's rise......

It's just that the emperor's face is a little heavy.

Worry about the country and the people!

"The official family, Chen Yu and Liu Yanqing have gone north, it is said that Chen Yu has prepared a coffin, and if he is defeated, he will apologize with death."

Shi Rugang leaned over his shoulder and whispered.

"He's a loyal servant."

The great painter said slowly.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and greeted the cheering crowd on both sides.

"Humber's move is ominous!"

Cai You said.

According to Li Cong's report, there are currently at most 40,000 thieves crossing the Huai River, more than 10,000 cavalry, nearly 100,000 cavalry, nearly 100,000 cavalry, and more than 10,000 cavalry, Liu Yanqing is also a general in the field, and this battle is not led by the thief after all. Liu Yanqing's father and son are afraid of Wang Yue, they can still fight if Wang Yue doesn't come, the main general of the thief army is named Yang Weizhong, in fact, Wang is a close confidant Yang Zaixing, it is said that he is a pawn in the original forbidden army, and this generation is brave or some, but it may not be said that this strategy is not necessarily. ”

Shi Rugang said with a smile.

"Pawns, thieves, water bandits, this traitor is full of such people!"

Cai You said disdainfully.

"Born well, who will follow him to fight for the tiger, the traitor is a traitor after all, this traitor does everything he can to buy, and the people are not waiting in Shaanxi to watch?"

Shi Rugang said.

"These aren't loyal ministers either!"

Cai You said.

In fact, Seed Master Dao and the others are interesting enough, after all, if they really want to be with Wang Yue, then there will really be no drama here.

"Loyalist!"

The great painter said with a sigh.

At this time, Gao Yu and the others who were guarding in front of them stopped.

The great painter's shoulders immediately fell to the ground, and then he walked out with Shi Rugang's support.

In front of him is the mighty Yangtze River, the Yangtze River sails like a forest, and his 20,000 troops of the Yangtze River Sailor Division are here.

This water division is Gao Yu's brother Gao Shen commander, Gao Yu is actually three brothers, Gao Yu, Gao Shen, Gao Jie, the latter is of course Jie, of which Gao Shen is the commander of the Imperial Camp Division, Gao Jie is the commander of the infantry army, plus the Ma army of Liu Guangshi, together form the imperial camp division of the great painter. The commander of the Ma army has led his subordinates to the north, and now it is the great painter himself who led the infantry to cross the river under the transportation of the navy and went to Yangzhou to command the decisive battle, at this time the infantry army of 30,000 people have already boarded the ship.

Just waiting for him.

"Official!"

A group of officials who saw off the great painter hurriedly stepped forward.

At this time, his Dazai was a descendant of Lu Haowen, a great Confucian, and Lu Yijian, but it was just a tablet to show the great painter's respect for Confucianism, after all, his label of faith made Wenchen very disgusted, and he urgently needed a great Confucian to buy people's hearts, but in fact, the old man Lu, who was already in his sixties, had limited ability. And the one who really did the work was Shaozai Li Hui, a native of Jiangning, the commander of the epic rout on the banks of the Yellow River in history, who commanded the forbidden army to meet the battle on the Yellow River with the Privy Council.

After the great painter crossed to the south, the real power was naturally seized by Jiangnan officials.

Li Bangyan and his ilk have been pushed aside.

Lu Haowen is a signboard, the real power belongs to Shaozai Li Hui, Shangshu Zuocheng Wu Kai, Chuzhou people, Shangshu right Cheng Sun Mao, Changzhou people, Song Huan, the Privy Council, Zhu Shengfei, Xu Fen, the former is from Caizhou, the latter is from Fujian, and his father Xu will be the champion of the Song Renzong Dynasty.

"Zhuqing, after I go north, this court will be handed over to you."

The great painter helped Lu Hao and asked.

"The official family, the old minister asks the official family to make it clear to the princes, which one should be the prison of the country?"

Lu Hao asked bluntly.

The face of the great painter instantly turned bad, this old guy is too ignorant, you mean to ask me who will succeed me when I die, but he is also an old fox, and then he returned to normal, ignored this old guy anymore, and instead held Li Hui's arm.

"Official?"

Lu Haowen continued to ask straightly.

Sun Mo unceremoniously inserted himself between him and Li Hui, squeezing the older and more ignorant guy aside.

"Officials, please rest assured, the ministers can only repay Your Majesty!"

Li Hui said.

Lu Hao asked and wanted to continue to squeeze forward, but Zhu Shengfei kindly grabbed him.

However, the first little episode, few people in the back paid attention to, the big painter pulled these loyal ministers one by one and told them to manage the court for themselves, and finally stepped on a huge ship in the farewell, Gao Yu and Cai You and others boarded the ship together, and Tan Zhi stayed in Zhenjiang. Immediately after that, the water wheels on both sides of this actual giant car and ship turned, slowly leaving the dock and heading towards the river, and its end point was actually more than ten miles away, how far can Jingkou go to Guazhou.

"Guys, why is that? Your Majesty is personally on the expedition, how can there be anyone who does not set up a prince to supervise the country? ”

Lu Haowen looked at the battleships that were getting farther and farther away, as well as the big painters waving on the deck, and angrily reprimanded the other ministers with a dissatisfied face.

"Shun Tugong, Your Majesty is just going to Yangzhou, what kind of prison country can you use for these dozens of miles? If you have something to do in the imperial court, just go to Yangzhou to play it, what do you have to do with the prince? ”

Li Hui said speechlessly.

"Your Majesty is going to fight, in case Chen Hengbo is defeated, the thieves will surround Yangzhou in less than two days, and if there is anything to do in the country, then who is the master of this Jiangshan Society?"

Lu Hao asked angrily.

"Shun Tugong, why are you so stubborn, Your Majesty is personally in Yangzhou, Chen Hengbo's 100,000 army is no match for 30,000 or 40,000 thieves, how can you be defeated? Since Your Majesty has not answered, you have already won the battle, and you are not afraid of disturbing the morale of the army when you ask again and again? ”

Wu Kai couldn't bear to say.

"What the old man said is in case, how can Jiangshan Sheji be careless, Your Majesty ......"

Lu Hao asked, turning his head to look at the great painter.

"Well, why did Your Majesty turn downstream?"

He said stunned.

Li Hui was excited, and instantly turned his gaze to the river......
