Chapter 377 The situation is complicated

By the time Xing Huan handled everything and caught up with Zhao Gou, the latter had already arrived at Daming Mansion.

The huge geographical map marks one after another, from Hebei to Hedong, from Hedong to Guanxi, various marks of different sizes show different forces.

For example, those marked with red marks are the Zhai brothers (Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin) who insisted on resisting the Jin Dynasty in Heluo, Xu Huiyan, who was the Jinning Army and the Lanshi Roadside Pacifier, and Sun Ang, the Taiyuan Prefecture military commander, and the Zhe family who were entrenched in Lin, Mansion and Fengzhou, and finally the "Zhongyi Society" organized by Liang Xing, Zhao Yun, Li Jin and others in Delong Prefecture and Zezhou.

The Hebei side included Zhang Sujun who had already joined him, Huang Qianshan, Yang Weizhong's army who had been moving south from Hejian to Jizhou, and Chen Gou's army who remained unmoved when they arrived in Zhongshan Prefecture.

This is the seventh of the most important eight-legged power in the North.

The remaining one is the Hedong thief Wang Shan's army, who has 500,000 troops. This number is of course false, but it is true that many people are true, and it is true that Wang Shan is also resisting the Jin Dynasty, but at the same time, he is also resisting the Song Dynasty. It is very different from Liang Xing and others summoned by Zhao Gou with one piece of paper.

In addition, there are many small bandit troops, such as Yue Fei's fellow villager Kong Yanzhou, who was originally a scoundrel in the countryside and killed people as thieves. In the first year of Jingkang, he joined the army and was promoted to the commander of the East and West Beijing Army. However, as the commander of the Western Road Chief, Wang Xiang, fled without fighting, Kong Yanzhou also took advantage of the chaos to pull the team to become a bandit.

For example, Zhang Yong and Wang Shan were sworn brothers, and they were also bandits along the way.

Such people are all fighting against Song and Jin, so Zhao Gou uses gray to represent them.

There are also large red troops coming from west to east, which are Qian Gai's army from Guanxi, and now they have entered the Heluo area. After the defeat of Bianliang, the Jin army quickly retreated north, which shows that this army will recover Heluo soon.

However, although Qian Gai's army came out, it was a hindrance. The Jin army had been repelled by Zhao Gou, and the Zhai brothers also took advantage of the opportunity of the Jin soldiers entering Bian Jing to recover the imperial tomb in one fell swoop. Qian Gai's only contribution now was to arrive in Bian Jing in time, which made Zhao Huan feel more secure.

Huang Qianshan from Hebei was still very hesitant, and Chen Go has not replied yet. Xu Huiyan, Sun Ang, and Zhe Keqiu are too far away, and the news has not been heard.

When Xing Huan arrived at Daming Mansion, Zhao Gou was staring blankly at the map.

He had only a slight understanding of Jingkang's history, and only heard about the names of Liang Xing, Zhang Suo and Huang Qianshan. The former was the boss of the Taihang Anti-Jin Zhongyi Society, and the key figure of the Yue family army connecting the Heshuo Rebel Army; in the middle, Zhang Suo was the father of Yue Fei's deputy general Zhang Xian, and Zhang Xian was also Yue Fei's son-in-law. Huang Qianshan was a traitorous minister and minister in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty like Wang Boyan.

As for Zhe Keqiu, She Taijun knew that he had heard of the name of the Zhe family, but when they were in the Song Dynasty, the presence of the Zhe family was really too low.

And who is Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin? Who is Wang Shan and Zhang Yong? Who is Xu Huiyan and Sun Ang? And Yang Weizhong and Chen Gou, the former is just a long-time general in the Western Army, and Zhao Gou thought of Liu Yanqing and didn't care much about this person. But what about the latter? He had never heard of the Hebei Marshal of the Army in Zhao Huan's mind.

The situation in Hebei and Hedong is not a simple military issue for Zhao Gou now.

Complex political struggles have replaced military affairs and become Zhao Gou’s most concerned thing.

Of course, this does not mean that Zhao Gou took military carelessly. On the contrary, this military is his foundation for making it bigger and his advantage for making it bigger. Not only should he maintain it, but he should also continue to become bigger and stronger.

He called Zong Ze as the commander, led his troops to the shore (one of the eight paths in Taihang, in Cizhou), entered Longde Prefecture in Hedong, joined Liang Xing's Zhongyi army, and swept the Hedong. He echoed Xu Huiyan and Sun Ang from the north, and not only did he want to clean up the troops and scum left by the Jin people in the Hedong boundary, but he also had to launch an offensive against Wang Shan and other bandits.

Those who are willing to surrender will naturally not be bloody; those who are unwilling to submit or who are too angry with the public will completely flatten them.

Although Zong Ze brought only 10,000 people - Zhao Gou's main force was still guarding against the Jin army, the latter had already withdrawn Zhending, and the rear was still in Qingyuan Mansion. He was also guarding against Huang Qianshan, Chen Gou, Yang Weizhong and others. If they saw the loophole, they suddenly led their troops to the headquarters and took him back to Bianjing, they would have capsized in the gutter.

Therefore, there were only a few ten thousand soldiers entering Hedong.

The Zhongyi Society, which united Liang Xing and others, had a total force of about 20,000 to 30,000, and most of the rebels had poor military preparation power. However, such power was enough to sweep the current Hedong territory.

You should know that the main force of the Jin people's Western Route Army has followed Nianhan to the south, and there are only a few three or five thousand Jin soldiers guarding Taiyuan Prefecture, and there are tens of thousands of surrendered troops led by Zhang Hao. There are no other troops besides this!

The entire Hedong land was very empty. Otherwise, how could Wang Shan and others be allowed to become big? That is, the Zhe Keqiu army suffered heavy losses in the previous battle of Taiyuan. In addition, seeing that the situation in Zhao and Song was not beautiful, there were two ends between Song and Jin. Otherwise, the Song army would take advantage of the situation and even if they could not take over Taiyuan Prefecture, they would definitely sweep across southwest Shanxi.

In history, Xu Huiyan and Sun Ang, after the Jingkang shame, saw that the situation was becoming increasingly difficult, and fought to the death with only the little troops and rebels in their hands to capture Xizhou, Fenzhou, Jinzhou and other places, that is, southwest of Jin. Although they waited for the Jin people to come, they would destroy it in a blink of an eye.

However, the Zhe family in Fuzhou had the intention of waiting and watching, and Zhe Keqiu's son was captured by the Jin people. Because of the march policy of the Western Route Army led by Nianhan (as mentioned in the previous article), it was a sweeping past, which was completely different from the Eastern Route Army's strategy of avoiding the real and attacking the virtual. Therefore, outside the entire Hedong border, there was no established Song army.

Xu Huiyan and Sun Ang had only a little defeated army that they had to gather with all their strength, and they were the brave men in Lanzhou, Shizhou and other places.

Such power can only protect itself.

Therefore, in the current Hedong area, many prefectures have no soldiers to guard, so they can only ask the young and strong people in the city to gather together and protect themselves.

If the Jin people were still in power, they would naturally be able to easily grasp the world of Hedong. Just like in history, Zhe Kexu surrendered, Xu Huiyan and Sun Ang fought desperately, and in the blink of an eye, the Jin people who entered the Western Army (Fan Zhixu Army) were easily wiped out.

But the current situation is that the Jin people are defeated.

The Hedong Road was in a blink of an eye, and it was no problem.

Zhao Gou didn't know if Qian Gai had divided his troops into Hedong, but after returning to Daming Mansion, he immediately took Zong Ze as the commander and divided his troops to go.

This place in Hebei is a bit stubborn. With only one Chen Wai, he was not sure to eat Hebei. Therefore, Hedong became crucial.

Even if the situation in Hebei is still complicated, if he seizes Hedong, he will at least have a place to settle down. Regardless of whether he can take down the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

At this time, Xing Huan arrived at Daming Mansion and brought him some news about the Yan Prince's Mansion. The letter alone was a thick thread. In one letter, even the red trace of his three-year-old daughter.

This is really warm, but it really doesn't work as a bird.

His "wives, concubines, children" will be fine now. Even if Zhao Huan wants to fight with Zhao Gou, he will never attack a group of women and children.

People of the royal family must be concerned about face when doing things.

He even banned the Yan Prince's Mansion for a lifetime, and he would never behead him by killing others openly.

The only thing he thought was useful was that Zhao Huan conveyed a clear message to him through Xing Huan - Zhao Huan had no intention of breaking up with him for the time being.
