Zhending Mansion, military horses from all over the country have arrived, and Lu Zhishen convened everyone as a privy envoy.

"The land of Hebei has been taken, and the next thing is to go north!"

Lu Zhishen looked at everyone and said, now that the land north of the Yellow River has been taken, it is time to go north to support Yuguan, so that Jin Guo knows what it means to be attacked by the enemy.

"Master Lu, I'll lead the troops north!"

Wang Jin said.

"Then the head of the Wang sect will lead the troops, and only leave me 20,000 soldiers and horses!"

Lu Zhishen nodded, although he also wanted to go north, he knew more about Hedong and Kansai, and it was better to stay.

"Then I'll go!"

Wang Jin nodded, hugged his fists and left.

Lu Zhishen had just arranged things, Sun Xu limped in, and at this moment he was tightly tied, like a seriously injured person, but the whole person recovered his spirits, not as weak as before.

"Why are all the soldiers and horses in the city dispatched, are you going to Taiyuan Mansion? I can be a guide! ”

Sun Xu looked at Lu Zhishen and said.

"No, these are going north."

Lu Zhishen shook his head and said.

Hearing that he was going north, Sun Xu's face changed slightly, he was anxious about Taiyuan Mansion, and only hoped that Lu Zhishen would lead his troops westward as soon as possible to relieve the siege of Taiyuan Mansion.

"Luda, aren't you going to Taiyuan Mansion?"

Sun Xu waited for everyone to leave, and then spoke.

"Go, why don't you go?"

Lu Zhishen replied.

"Then you still let them lead the troops north, you are solid in Yongguan, kill tens of thousands of enemies, and you don't need support at all!"

Sun Xu hurriedly said that he knew the battle situation in Juyong Pass, Lin Chong lured the enemy to go deeper, and then suddenly attacked, which caught the proud and arrogant Jin soldiers off guard, and killed tens of thousands of Jin soldiers in one battle.

"This is a military secret, I shouldn't have told you, I told you to go north, it's already a leak of secrets!"

Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Xu and said, it seemed that Sun Xu's head was not very clear, and he said that he was not ready to let Sun Xu leave when he said that he was going north.

Sun Xu's face changed slightly, and then he realized the problem, he knew the military secrets of the Qi State, if he didn't comply, the end would be either imprisonment or extinction.

"The small Taiyuan Mansion needs my 70,000 troops? Do you think too highly of Jin Bing? ”

Lu Zhishen said slowly.

Lu Zhishen's words made Sun Xu stagnate, and his heart couldn't help but be bitter, the golden soldiers they couldn't stop desperately were not worth it in Lu Zhishen's eyes.

"Alright, you lame and arm-hanging, still a guide, can you ride a horse now?"

Lu Zhishen pointed to Sun Xu's legs supported by crutches, and the arm that was hanging on his chest with a bandage.

"I ......"

Sun Xu still wanted to argue, but his appearance, let alone riding a horse, couldn't walk fast.

"You'd better lie down and recuperate!"

Lu Zhishen waved his hand and let Sun Xu out.

"Master Lu, just now the sentry cavalry came to report, Hedong has started fighting, Liu Tao with Yao Pingzhong, Fan Kui, Shi Xu, Gao Feng nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses have begun to attack the cities around Taiyuan Mansion, and two cities have been conquered."

Jiao Ting walked in to report.

"Done so quickly? Did they find out? ”

Lu Zhishen frowned for a while, he was familiar with the names reported by Jiao Ting, especially Liu Tao and Yao Pingzhong, both of whom were fierce generals of the Western Army, and they both won victories in the Great War with Western Xia.

"It was reported...... No, after Liu Tao and them arrived in Qi County, the defenders of Qi County surrendered soon after, and then they divided their troops and began to attack various county seats. ”

Jiao Ting shook his head and said.

"Surrender? What's the situation? Will the Jin army surrender? ”

Lu Zhishen frowned, this is not right, they have fought so many battles with the Jin army, and they have not seen the Jin army that surrendered on its own initiative.

"I don't know, as soon as the sentry arrived, I saw the defenders of Qi County surrendering on their own initiative, and there were too many Song troops for the sentry to get close."

Jiao Ting shook his head and said, they can't detect these details.

"I'm afraid they're going to suffer if they're so aggressive!"

Lu Zhishen touched his light and said a little irritably, after staying with Sun Lei for so long, he is no longer the reckless monk, he has also seen a lot of intrigues and tricks on the battlefield, and there must be a conspiracy for Jin Guo to take the initiative to surrender.

"Master, let's ...... Let's take a look? ”

Jiao Ting looked at Lu Zhishen and asked.

"First...... Check it out! ”

Lu Zhishen hesitated for a moment before he spoke, although he knew that the Jin army had a conspiracy, but after all, the opposite side was the Great Song Dynasty military horse, although he was very familiar with it, and he used to be a robe, but now that they are their masters, he can't do anything.

……

"Haha, Jin Jun is nothing more than that! I really don't know how that guy at Yanmen Pass guarded the city pass! ”

Fan Kui laughed triumphantly.

"Five cities have been broken in a row, Taiyuan Mansion is in front of us, and we will be able to send back the good news in two days!"

Shi Shu laughed, they have taken the counties around Taiyuan Mansion, and the current Jin Bing is the turtle in the urn.

"Liu Shuai, when are we going to launch a general attack!"

Gao Fengbu looked excitedly at Liu Tao and asked for battle, they were like breaking through the city, now the morale is high, it is a good time to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

"Has the Sentinel returned?"

Liu Tao did not rush to give an order, but looked at Yao Pingzhong and asked.

Although the early battle was very smooth, this too smooth battle also made Liu Tao feel uneasy, he had fought with the Tangut people, and the battle with foreign races was life and death, and it was never simple.

"It's back, the main force of the Jin army is still around Taiyuan Mansion, and there is no movement."

Yao Pingzhong spoke, his brows were also furrowed, this battle was the smoothest battle after he entered the army, almost no different from clearing out bandits.

"No movement?"

Liu Tao's brows furrowed even tighter, they fought five cities in a row, and the main force of the Jin army still didn't move, which was too abnormal.

"General Liu, I'm not lying, this is how the Jin army is arranged!"

Zhang Jue hurriedly stepped forward to ask for credit, but he told Liu Tao everything he knew, and the two-day battle also confirmed the accuracy of his information.

"Don't worry, I'll report your affairs to Tokyo!"

Liu Tao nodded, Zhang Jue's intelligence this time really helped them a lot, Zhang Jue's identity is sensitive, first an official of the Liao State, then he voted for the Jin State, and now he has surrendered to them, under this identity, Zhang Jue needs enough credit to be accepted by the Great Song Dynasty.

"Liu Shuai, what are we waiting for!"

Fan Kui, Shi Xu, and Gao Fengbu urged Liu Tao again, they wanted to make meritorious contributions too much, Liu Tao and Yao Pingzhong were fierce generals in the Western Army, and the merit book was already full, but a few of them only served in the local area, and there was nothing else on weekdays except to suppress bandits and defend the city, if they could repel the Jin army and rescue Taiyuan Mansion this time, they would be promoted to the third level.

Liu Tao looked at the information in his hand and hesitated, according to the information known now, attacking was the best choice, but he was uneasy, after a long battle, he realized that there was a conspiracy in it.

"Intelligence...... No...... Issue! ”

Liu Tao thought in his heart, everything told him that there was no problem, and since this was the case, there would be no problem with the attack.

"All departments prepare, tonight the fourth watch cooks, the fifth watch sets off, and kills the Jin army!"

Liu Tao finally made up his mind, Taiyuan Mansion had been besieged for a long time, and no matter what the Jin army was thinking, they couldn't wait any longer. (End of chapter)
