The main force of Daqi was all taken away by his son Liu Lin, and now the main force stationed in the Daimyo's Mansion is 20,000 soldiers and horses led by his younger brother Liu Yi, if the other party comes to attack, I am afraid that he will not be able to stand it.

"What is your best plan?"

Zhang Xiaochun, the left minister, was silent, now that the Song and Jin wars are deadlocked, even if they ask Jin for help, how can the Jin people have the energy to help defend the capital? It's better to take advantage of the situation!

Li Chengzhengse, a member of the Privy Council, said, "The official family, now that the matter is urgent, you can recruit young strong men from the surrounding areas of the Daimyo's Mansion to defend the capital!" On the other hand, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be urgently summoned back to the division to rescue. ”

"Quasi-play!"

……

Liu Yuguang thought that Zhao Yingluo would wait for an opportunity to attack the Daimyo's Mansion, but he didn't expect that her target was not the Daimyo's Mansion at all, but Shanzhou in the south and Handan in the northwest!

And her strategy had already begun to be planned when the Jin people went south in three ways.

Her goal is to be the King of Faith who is far away!

Who is Zhao Zhen, the king of letters? He is Zhao Ji's eighteenth son, Zhao Gou's younger brother, as old as Zhao Yingluo, but Shengyue is younger than Zhao Yingluo, and he is her cheap younger brother.

Jingkang was taken captive to the north during the change, and happened to encounter the Wuma Mountain camp people and horses sneak attack the rear wing of the Jin army in the north, and was rescued in the chaos, so he was regarded as the big leader by Ma Guang and Zhao Bangjie, the leaders of the Wuma Mountain camp.

After Zhao Zhen became the big leader, he contacted the imperial brother, hoping that he could contribute money and people to support him in fighting the Jin people, but he was disappointed.

Zhao Gou resolutely refused, the rebel army led by his own imperial brother grew strong and threatened his position, and he was afraid that he would anger the Jin people.

In the hinterland of the Jin people, Zhao Zhen, who was isolated and helpless, saw that the brothers in the Wuma Mountain camp who had great kindness to him were decreasing day by day under the encirclement and suppression of the Jin people, and he was so anxious that he was losing weight day by day.

So, Zhao Yingluo sent people to the Wuma Mountain camp in Zhending via Handan and Xingzhou, and sent him a letter! A letter from Zhao Yingluo was like a light, sweeping away the darkness in his heart.

The letter wrote: Recently, His Royal Highness led the Wuma cottage to stick to it for several years, which is not easy! However, if you don't retreat south, sooner or later you won't be protected, and now the gold thief is going south again, plotting against my Great Song Dynasty, and I want to go north with General Han to encircle Yan Zonghan's army north of the Yellow River. His Royal Highness can lead the army of Wuma Mountain camp from Zhending to the south along Taihang Mountain.

I should send Xuanzhenglang Wang Shan to contain the Taiyuan Jinren Brigade, and then order Wang Zaixing to lead an army to the north, and after joining His Highness, they will jointly capture Xingzhou and Handan!

The rise and fall of the Great Song Dynasty depends on the decision of His Royal Highness, I hope His Royal Highness will not hesitate!

After reading this letter, Zhao Zhen was overjoyed, the reason why he could not send troops south earlier was because the Wuma Mountain camp was Taiyuan to the west and Xingzhou to the south, both of which were garrisoned by the Jin army.

Now that there is a large army in the south to respond, and there is a large army in Taiyuan in the west, the Jin people will not dare to act rashly, so he has no worries about going south.

However, two deputies, Ma Kuo and Zhao Bangjie, raised objections.

Ma Kuo opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, as far as the last general knows, how can Shen Wanshu be able to mobilize these people because of her overpayment of taxes or the position of county lord?" ”

Zhao Bangjie also had doubts, "His Royal Highness also sent a letter to the official family last year, but the official family ignored the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people!" He abandoned the second emperor and led his troops south to hide from the Jin army, how could he save me? There must be fraud here. ”

The young Zhao Zhen smiled lightly, looking confident, "Although the official family had hundreds of thousands of people who didn't care about life and death, it was because the Great Song Dynasty was forced to Jiangnan by the Jin people at that time, and they couldn't take care of themselves, so they couldn't do anything." Now that the Great Song Dynasty has stabilized its position, how can it not think of the royal bloodline and not save us? ”

"What's more, although the Jin people are strong, the Great Song Dynasty is not unstoppable, since there is a large army to contain the Jin army, we can take the opportunity to go south and join forces with Shen Wanshu to fight against the Jin people."

Zhao Bangjie and Ma Kuo listened to Zhao Zhen's explanation and felt a little relieved. However, they still couldn't help but be a little worried, "Although what His Highness said is reasonable, we can't fully believe the words of Shen Wanshu and the official family. If they deceive, will we have no way out? ”

A hint of determination flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes, "Trapped in the Wuma Mountain camp, sooner or later we will die, and there is still a trace of life in the south, we have no other way but to choose to believe in that Shen Wanshu!" So, going south is the best option. ”

Zhao Bangjie and Ma Kuo listened to Zhao Zhen's words, and their hearts were awe-inspiring, in the troubled times, any slightest hesitation will miss the opportunity, maybe His Royal Highness Xinwang's decision is right.

So, ten days later! When Zhao Yingluo had just captured the county seat of Wei County, Zhao Zhen's letter also arrived.

……

"County Lord! There's news from Handan. Feng Jing, who has now become Zhao Yingluo's right-hand man, took a letter and hurriedly walked in.

"General Wang has contacted His Royal Highness King Xin! His Royal Highness King Xin decided to agree to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses from the Wuma Mountain camp to the south to capture Xingzhou and Handan. ”

After reading the letter, Zhao Yingluo was overjoyed! With the army of King Xin, the tide of battle will turn in the favorable direction of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Excellent! Send a letter to Wang Zaixing and Wang Shan, ordering Wang Shan to stick to Pingyang Mansion and be sure to block the army of Wanyan Lou in the south of Taiyuan! And contain its army, don't let it cross the well, and threaten Zhao Zhen's army to go south. Ordered Wang Zaixing to lead his troops from Luoyang and break through Handan within ten days. ”

After Feng Jing got the order, he left in a hurry, but not long after he left, he hurriedly turned back.

"Your Highness, someone from Lanzhou has brought news!"

"Let him in."

After Zhao Yingluo sat down, he saw a middle-aged man dressed as a farmer, sweating profusely, entering the house, and immediately knelt on one knee, "The last general is General Han's subordinate scout-Qi An, on the order of General Han, brought a message." ”

"Get up, please!"

Zhao Yingluo ordered someone to arrange a seat for him, and let someone serve him a bowl of cold white open, and watched him drink it dry in one gulp before asking, "How is the war in Lanzhou?" ”

Qi An wiped a handful of water stains on his mouth, his voice was like a bell, and he said, "After General Han crossed the Yellow River, he hoarded troops to the north of Lanzhou, Wanyan Zonghan led the army to attack directly, General Han fought desperately, but the Jin cavalry was strong and broke the big array, General Han had to cross the Yellow River south and retreat to the city of Lanzhou, and now the army of the Jin people also crossed the river and surrounded the city of Lanzhou. ”

Zhao Yingluo's heart was cold, "When the Jin people crossed the river, how did they not attack halfway?" Let it cross the river? ”

Qi An's face showed a look of shame, "General Han did not arrange for Zhou Ji to cross the river and intercept halfway through!" ”

Hearing him say this, Zhao Yingluo immediately understood that it was Han Shizhong who was a little overly supportive and did not take the advice she gave when she set off.

"General Han sent you here to ask for help?"

Qi An nodded, "I still hope that the county lord will act quickly!" Later, the city of Lanzhou was broken. ”

"How many days can General Han hold out?"

Qi An thought for a moment, and then said, "According to the general's estimate, five days at most!" ”

Five days? Five days......

Zhao Yingluo's brain began to spin rapidly, looking for a way to crack it, and soon, she thought of Yue Fei, who was now stationed in Puzhou, and now that Yan Zongfu and Liu Lin were newly defeated, they would not pose a threat to Puzhou.
