However, it was said that after blackmailing the Liao State and the Song Dynasty, the high-level Dajin leaders had accumulated more money and grain. By the beginning of May, the weapons had been made, and the Iron Float of the Golden Vulture had been successfully trained. And Tian Hu and Wang Qing also started accidents as planned, and unexpectedly added a big villain Fang La.

As a result, the forces that the Song Dynasty could gather in the north were withdrawn, and the gateway to Taiyuan and the Daimyo was wide open.

Therefore, whether it is veteran generals such as Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zonghan, or young generals such as Jin Wushu, it is recommended to gather troops and horses in advance and start the operation in early August.

This time, the Jin people gathered 550,000 troops, sent 50,000 to the Liao State, and formed the Western Front Group with the 550,000 Liao army.

Therefore, this time, the Jinliao coalition army dispatched a total of 1.1 million troops, all of which were cavalry.

The combat troops of the Eastern Front were 500,000 horses, 45 cavalry, and 50,000 infantry (logistics troops). Wan Yan Gao was appointed as the marshal of the capital, commander-in-chief, Wan Yan Zonghan was appointed as the deputy marshal of the capital, and Hami Chi was the military advisor. At the same time, Wan Yanchang was the supervisor of the army, commanding 50,000 logistics soldiers to escort grain and grass.

The combat troops on the Western Front were 600,000 men, not including the 5,000 Iron Floating Massacres of the Golden Vultures. The commander-in-chief of the Western Front was Xiao Yanguang, the commander of the Liao capital, the deputy marshal Wanyan Lou Room and Wanyan Zongbi (Wushu), and the military division Wanyan Xiyin.

The eastern front set out from Youzhou in early August, all the way like a bamboo, as soon as the place was touched, it never stayed overnight to fight a state and county, and in addition, it was a cavalry, and it moved quickly, and it arrived at Liujiaji, a hundred miles away in the north of Cangzhou, half a month later.

After arriving here, the Jin people decided to divide their troops, and Muhan (Wanyan Zonghan) took 100,000 horses and 10,000 logistics soldiers to go south to Shandong through Cangzhou, and then prepared to plunder in Shandong, and after taking the population and property and sending people back to Liao, they would join Kaifeng with the army.

The main force of the first road was led by Wan Yan Gao, went straight to the Daimyo's Mansion, and after entering the Central Plains, he plundered the population and property and sent troops to escort him back to China, and joined Kaifeng.

The army of more than one million Jin and Liao people rushed all the way to the Great Song Dynasty, and although the counties along the way had received an urgent notice from their superiors, the counties did not leave any people, and all of them were concentrated in the state capital, and the residents near the capital and county towns all withdrew from the distance of 100 miles.

However, due to the fact that the magistrates of some counties in the east did not take Shangfeng's strict orders seriously at all, they did not organize villagers to join relatives and friends, and the walls were cleared. Second, do not organize the county institutions at all levels and government soldiers to evacuate to the state capital.

When the Jin soldiers came, there were only a few hundred government soldiers guarding the county seat, and they usually scared the common people, but they were very angry, but now they saw the Jin people who were like wolves and tigers, and some of them were so afraid that they couldn't even hold bows and arrows, knives and guns.

So, sticky Han went all the way south. When I met the county town where there were still people, I basically did not encounter resistance, and it was taken with zero casualties.

In mid-August, Muhan's 100,000-strong army arrived in Cangzhou. Along the way, the people of the Great Song Dynasty who did not have time to evacuate were killed by them, plundered more than 100,000, and plundered countless grains and other gold and silver treasures. Those magistrates and wealthy families who had a fluke mentality, once the Jin people broke through the city, the grain, livestock, gold and silver, and young and beautiful women all became the trophies of the Jin people.

Ordinary people, old and infirm, and those who resisted were all killed, and the rest were all rushed to the northeast to be slaves. For a time, where the Jin people passed, there were bones all over the place, and blood flowed like a river. A catastrophe of the sons and daughters of the Han Dynasty began......

As early as when the Jin people were still more than 400 miles away from Cangzhou, the governor of Cangzhou handed over the seal of the state capital to Tongzhi, and took advantage of the death of his mother, went home to keep filial piety, and fled with his family.

The head of the soldiers and horses was originally a close confidant of Tong Guan and did not know anything about military affairs. Seeing that Zhizhou had fled, he took 500 relatives with the barracks in one day, and also used the excuse of going out for training, and after leaving the city, he joined his family members waiting outside the city and fled......

Tongzhi Wendesin was helpless, so he had to let people go to Crouching Tiger Villa, invite Chai Jin, the great hero of the Northland, to discuss the plan to keep Cangzhou Mansion.

Now Chai Jin is here with abundant money and food, and there are generals and soldiers. There were Chao Gai, Li Kui, Duanmuxiu, Li Gon, Zhang Hu, Qiu Kui and other generals. After the news of the Jin people's southward movement spread, Fang La sent Wu Song, Li Tianyan, Shi Jin, Ye Hongyan and other generals back to Shandong. At the same time, Wang Jin, Wu Song, and Li Ying were ordered to concentrate their forces in Dulonggang to hold on, and completely drive out the Jin people who entered Shandong.

After Wu Song, Shi Jin and others arrived in Shandong, they conveyed Fang La's instructions to Liu Erye, Wang Jin and others. The two immediately convened a military meeting and decided that Ruan Xiaoqi, Kong Ming, Kong Liang and others would lead more than 20,000 sailors to guard Xiaobo Liang Mountain and nearby prefectures and counties.

Wang Jin, Wu Song, Li Tianyan and others led 30,000 cavalry, 10,000 infantry (including artillery and musketeers) and 2,000 special combat soldiers to Dulonggang to meet the enemy.

Shi Jin and Ye Hongyan took 2,000 muskets and 30 light artillery guns to Cangzhou Wohu Villa to assist Chai Jin and others in defending Cangzhou.

When the people sent by Wende Pin arrived at Crouching Tiger Villa, Shi Jin and them had just entered the villa.

Chai Jin was serving wine to Shi Jin and his wife, and at the same time, he was discussing with everyone how to find an excuse to bring people into Cangzhou City to assist in defense. I heard that Zhizhou and the chief of soldiers and horses had run away, and at the same time asked Chai to go in to preside over the military affairs of Cangzhou Mansion.

Since Chai Jin's Crouching Tiger Villa accepted the young master's suggestion, he has tripled the size of the villa along the mountain, and now the entire villa is much larger than the area of Cangzhou City, with more than 200,000 stone of grain in it. At present, more than 50,000 people from all walks of life have come from all over the world to escape the military disaster. The Zhuang Ke in the villa, the brothers who ran the Da Liao horse seller, the self-defense force of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, and the 5,000 kinds of family troops who were ordered to come here during the Great Song Dynasty disarmament, there were more than 15,000 people in total.

After listening to the request of the visitor, Chai Jin and the others immediately agreed that they would bring 12,000 young men into the city tomorrow to assist the government soldiers in defending the city.

Immediately after a short rest, the messenger returned to the city to tell his fellow intellectuals the good news.

Chai Jin immediately divided the labor among everyone. Chao Gai, Zhang Hu, and Qiu Kui, three generals, led 5,000 men and horses to stay in the villa, and Qiu Kui was mainly responsible for organizing the people to assist the soldiers to protect the villa.

Chai Jin, Li Kui, Duanmuxiu, Shi Jin, Ye Hongyan, Li Gon and others led 10,000 cavalry and 2,000 musketeers to defend Cangzhou City......

At noon the next day, after Chai Jin and others arrived in Cangzhou, Wen Tongzhi led the city's civil and military officials out of the city to greet them.

Seeing that Chai Jin not only agreed to defend the city, but also brought more than 10,000 horses. Coupled with the soldiers from Cangzhou Prefecture and various counties, there were more than 30,000 people in the entire prefecture city. At the same time, there are also more than 8,000 people from Cangzhou Prefecture who drew Gao Ziyun from all over the country for group training and township training. Seeing that there were so many people guarding Cangzhou City, the 300,000 people in the city finally felt at ease......
