Although Zhang Jun felt that Kang Sui's strategy was not very authentic, he finally agreed, he was a high-minded and arrogant person, and he would rather die on the battlefield than blindly sitting in Chang'an!

However, Kang Sui's plan for him did not have time to be used, because the Jin people went south!

And Zhao Yingluo also had to temporarily press the plan to go to Guanzhong and devote herself to the attack and defense of Kaifeng City.

In the spring of March of the third year of Jianyan, Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng appointed Wanyan Zonghan as the generalissimo, and Wanyan Zongbi as the deputy marshal to command the Middle Route Army, starting from Zhongshan and heading all the way to the south. Ordered Wanyan Lou to be the deputy marshal, commanding the Western Route Army, all the way south from Taiyuan and Linzhou. After ordering Yan Zongfu to be the deputy marshal, he commanded the East Route Army, went all the way south from Cangzhou, and after joining the army of Liu Yu of the puppet Qi, he surrounded Kaifeng.

Of course, in order to be able to make a good name for the southern invasion, this southern invasion, Wanyan Zonghan lied that he was being bullied by the pseudo-Qi, so he raised a large army to ask for the guilt.

The three-way army, known as 300,000 horses, is heading south, and it seems that it is going to repeat the changes in Jingkang!

According to the news from the 1,000 private soldiers stationed in Xingzhou, the Jinren Middle Route Army had the most powerful combat power, including more than 50,000 cavalry alone!

On 20 March, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongbi had already led a large army through Xingzhou and were advancing towards Handan.

After getting the news that the Jin people invaded the south again, Kaifeng City became a pot of porridge again, but fortunately, after Zong Ze went through some scheduling and offensive and defensive configuration, the hearts of the people of Kaifeng City were a little calmer.

The news of the Jin people's southern invasion also reached Lin'an, and it was impossible to say that Qin Hui had beaten Zhao Yingluo in front of Zhao Gou, saying that she had defeated the pseudo-Qi and offended the Jin people...... and suggested that Zhao Gou cut off his head and give it to the Jin people in exchange for the Jin people to retreat north.

However, thanks to the opposition of Lu Yihao and other main battle factions, coupled with the pressure of Emperor Zhao Ji, Zhao Gou did not adopt Qin Hui's suggestion, but ordered all people to prepare to defend against the enemy.

【Kaifeng】

In order to prevent the private soldiers stationed in Xingzhou and Handan from becoming the target of the Jin people, Zhao Yingluo evacuated all the remaining soldiers except for a few elites who were left there for the purpose of listening to the news.

On the one hand, he ordered Yue Feishuai to go forward with 10,000 horses and fortify in Shanzhou, Puzhou and other places. On the other hand, they stepped up preparations for the defense of the city, in case the Jin people broke through the defense line and besieged Kaifeng again.

Of course, Han Shizhong did not have the right to dispatch Zhao Yingluo's hundreds of thousands of private soldiers, but out of trust in Zhao Yingluo, he entrusted her with the responsibility of defending Xijing Luoyang.

【Imperial Palace】

Zhao Ji has been so worried these days that he has lost interest in his favorite calligraphy and painting! Although his daughter said that he would guarantee that he would win the Kaifeng defense battle, he still had no bottom in his heart, so three days later, he summoned his daughter to the palace again.

"My son, now that the situation is becoming more and more urgent, if you don't send your father to Lin'an first, then your father will definitely ask your imperial brother to issue an edict and entrust you with full authority to the military power of Tokyo East Road and West Road."

Zhao Yingluo saw that her father had lost a little weight because of the Jin people, and she was angry and distressed.

I can't complain about the history of that time and space, the Great Song Dynasty was bullied like a grandson by the Jin people, how could an emperor with such soft bones form a situation of crushing the northern nomads like the Tang and Han dynasties.

"Daddy, put your heart in your stomach, do you remember that your daughter Shuai Jun beat Liu Yu's army to the ground?"

Zhao Ji said a little resignedly, "That's a traitor, not an army of Jinren!" At the beginning of the Battle of Tokyo, the Jin people were like a bamboo, all the way south, and they were unstoppable......"

Thinking of the tragic situation of being captured at the beginning, and thinking of the sons who are still prisoners of the Jin people, Zhao Ji couldn't help but cry, how miserable and miserable it was.

Zhao Yingluo's heart was suddenly a little shaken, why don't you send this cheap dad to Lin'an?

But this idea was dismissed by herself in an instant.

This cheap father is indeed timid and cowardly, and he was not a good emperor when he was in power, but for himself, he was still a good father!

If she escorts him back to the south, then there will be a lot of resistance to the major events in the future, and she needs Zhao Ji, the Dinghai Divine Needle, to continue to play a role in Kaifeng.

"Daddy, don't worry, I will let the Jin people know that our army of the Great Song Dynasty is not so easy to bully."

After Zhao Ji heard this, his eyes flashed with hesitation and a little expectation, "If you can defeat Jin Ren once, Daddy will believe you!" If the first battle is lost, you should arrange for me to go to Lin'an as soon as possible, lest I become a prisoner again and be humiliated by the Jin. ”

"Kaifeng City is garrisoned by Lord Zongze, although Daddy can sit back and relax, there is General Yue stationed in Lanzhou, and the Jin people dare not cross the river. I will order Wang Shan and Wang Zaixing, two generals, to go to Luoyang and Pingyang Mansion to garrison and block the Jin people in the area of Taihang Mountain. The Jin people could not attack for a long time, and the Hebei Zhulu Righteous Army was waiting for an opportunity behind them, and the grain and grass were unsustainable, and they were bound to retreat. ”

After Zhao Yingluo roughly analyzed the battlefield situation with Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji felt a little at ease.

"My son has handled it properly, but you have to be careful and not negligent. If you really can't beat the golden people, go to Lin'an with your father! Lin'an has the danger of the Yangtze River and is far away from the Central Plains, and it is not easy for the Jin people to travel long distances, so they must not pose any threat to Lin'an. ”

Zhao Yingluo saw that her father always wanted to return to the south, and sighed helplessly......

After pacifying Zhao Ji, Zhao Yingluo immediately returned to his mansion and began to arrange a defensive line, preparing to deal with the Jin people who were pressed by the soldiers.

There is Yue Fei stationed on the east road, she doesn't have to worry, Kaifeng City has Han Shizhong, Zong Ze, Lu Haowen and others, and there are nearly 100,000 troops, even if the Jin people cross the river to besiege the city, I am afraid it is not so easy to capture in a short time.

On the west road, Pingyang Mansion has Wang Shan's original tens of thousands of troops stationed, if Wang Zaixing is sent to lead 50,000 troops to Luoyang, Xijing, the two armies will respond to each other, and it is difficult for the Jin people to break through.

The only thing she worries about is Zhang Jun, who is stationed in Chang'an! If Zhang Jun was defeated by the Jin people and broke through Chang'an, the Jin people could go from north to south, and from west to east to attack Wang Shan and Wang Zaixing.

The Kaifeng City Government Hall gathered dozens of generals of all sizes, such as Zong Ze, Lu Haowen, Zhao Yingluo, Han Shizhong, and Yue Fei.

After determining the final defensive countermeasures, Zhao Yingluo suddenly asked Zhang Jun, "How is he?" ”

Zong Ze stroked his beard, which was already white, and said, "Zhang Jun is loyal to the country and brave in battle, and he is a rare general. The year before the Jin people went south, and the Western Route Army intended to enter Shu after contributing to Chang'an, and then attacked from two sides, intending to destroy our Great Song Dynasty. Zhang Jun led the army to successfully snipe the enemy in the Tianshui area, frustrating the enemy's spirit, the enemy army saw that it could not be attacked for a long time, so it had to retreat northward, Chang'an was guarded by Zhang Jun, and he could sit back and relax. ”
