When the Mongolians first entered the pass, they were strong and powerful, with many famous generals standing in hand, and their momentum was gone for a while. However, eight years have passed, the Mongolians have suffered a crushing defeat and the famous generals have withered. The older generation of generals either died on the battlefield or died in internal struggle.

So much so that now, except for Bolu, Malihan and others, those who held command of the Mongolian army were Jamukha and Tuli and other new generation generals. Even the Xiaolixi Xiaolicuo brothers, who were not known before, are now.

They all hold the power in the Mongolian and Yuan army.

The Meng people are good at attacking and not defending the city. Although they have a strong city like Yanjing that has been running for a long time, they are still unsure. However, Han Zhong rushed back from the south in time, and the situation is very different. Han Zhong carefully studied military tactics.

After ten years, he was proficient in all the tactics of attacking and defending the city. Under his arrangement, the Mongolian army guarding the city had a very layered sense. When the siege of the city, Yun Zhao himself was like a Mongolian general, good at fighting fields but not good at

Attacking and defending cities, such as the offensive and persisting tasks, he let the Yuan Dayue general who had received regular long-term military training do it. This has a problem. No matter how Meng Yao or Su Dingfang changes, Han Zhong

We can always respond in time and turn the offensive of the Northern Army into invisible...

The stalemate formed under the city of Yanjing. The biggest difficulty in front of Yardan was not the attack of the Northern Army, but the food crisis faced by a large number of military and civilians in the city. From the loss of Lu Ning, this crisis was like a hanging in the Mongolian Yuan.

The big sword on his head may fall down at any time, and now a large number of external troops are pouring into Yanjing, which further exacerbates the shortage of food in Yanjing.

As Han Zhong expected, after pursuing Yun Zhao's three attacks, the Northern Army significantly slowed down the pace of the attack. Regardless of the intensity and intensity, it greatly reduced...

Although both sides have not had direct contact yet, they all know that peace talks will be inevitable. This is the most appropriate action to make both sides achieve their goals. The current stalemate is just to win the initiative at the negotiating table and to bring benefits.

Just maximize.

And this depends on the progress of the Yunzhao South Expedition Legion and who will Cheng Qun launch a greater attack on after crossing the river. By then, everything will be clear.

Above the Cangjiang River, thousands of ships were crossing, and thousands of sails stood. On the last day of December, after Cheng Qun ordered Qianniuwei, who had Liu Xuyong as the pioneer, to cross the river, today the main force began to set off from Jingzhou. Li Hongchao's fleet was left with one in

In addition to the old river mouth, the rest were also put into the transport troops and baggage fleet. Cheng Qun collected a large number of civilian ships and merchant ships in Jingzhou, Xiangzhou and other places, and devoted himself to this massive crossing of the river.

From the middle, the entire Cangjiang River seemed to be filled with densely packed with ships. Looking from a distance, there was almost no rush of water on the river surface during this section.

Sitting on the top of a five-masted warship, watching the spectacular crossing of the river, Cheng Qun could not see a trace of joy on his face. Liu Xuyong had sent back the information. After the first batch of landing, they did not expect it.

Liu Xuyong did not even see a soldier in the Northern Expedition Army. All the places where the troops should be stationed were empty. What left Cheng Qun was only a deserted field for thousands of miles. What Cheng Qun hated the most was that

The Northern Army is retreating

At that time, all the winter wheat sown in autumn was destroyed, all the wells were filled, the houses were burned, and more than a hundred miles were gone, there was no complete house or a normal person.

For the Northern Army, they were moved away. Only those 70-year-olds or seriously ill who were no longer able to travel a long distance would lie half-dead in the room that was about to turn into ruins, looking at Cheng Bu numbly.

The soldiers broke into the room for the sake of.

There is nothing left in Qinzhou and Yizhou, Jiangbei.

Cheng Qun's heart was very heavy. What does Jiangbei's situation mean? It shows that Yun Zhao had a long judgment on his upcoming action, and thus made targeted arrangements, just like when he evacuated Jiangbei.

Zhao used tooth for tooth and eye for eye, leaving himself with a poor and white Qinzhou and Yizhou. Back then, Yun Zhao used Yao Changkun and Wang Gui to rule the four states of Qin Yiliang Pu, and took two years to restore some vitality to the four states.

And I am now about to repeat the work done by my opponent.

The news of the large-scale crossing of the Northern Army in Boyang was naturally not hidden from the process group. The two sides were hundreds of miles away, one facing south and the other facing north, but Cheng Qun didn't care at all. They crossed the river and their relationship with him was still

Is it big? That's Li Si's problem.

Li Jian left the capital and Yun Zhao crossed the river at this time. It goes without saying what he wanted to do. Yun Zhao mobilized heavy troops to rush to the south bank, which was great good news for him. To be honest, for Yun Zhao's conquest.

Northern Army, Cheng Qun was really scared.

The hull shook slightly and landed. After leaving the north for several years, Cheng Qun once again stepped onto the land and strode off the ship. Liu Xuyong and other generals who arrived in advance had already been waiting on the shore.

"How is the situation?" Cheng Qun asked while strode forward and walked towards the camp that had already been established not far away.

"Not very good!" Liu Xuyong shook his head. Although he occupied the north shore without a single soldier, this strange situation made every smart person feel abnormal.

"I have sent several troops to various places. Qinzhou has become a ghost domain and there is no one to see." Liu Xuyong sighed: "I hope Yizhou is not like this."

Cheng Qun's face was as gloomy as the sky covered with dark clouds. He stopped and looked at the troops behind him who were still crossing the river continuously, "It must be like this. Yun Zhao would not leave anything for us. It's so cruel.

, At least he left behind countless populations back then, now he has moved even the population. Has Yao Changkun retreated to Liangzhou?"

"Yes, I retreated neatly. At first I was worried that Yao Changkun had set a trap for us, but more than ten days passed, my troops had occupied Qinzhou City and were advancing towards Yizhou, let alone not to see it.

In the Northern Army, there was no one of their whistle cavalry."

"Yun Zhao knew that under the current situation, he was unable to resist my attack, but he was so willing to give me the territory of the two states cleanly and neatly. This is really awesome." Cheng Qun shook his head, "I hope he can block him in the

Jiangbei, if his main force crosses the river, the Central Plains will surely start another war. Now that Li Da is about to be defeated, the Fourth Master will unify the Central Plains, and the people of the Central Plains will usher in a rare opportunity to breathe. We cannot let Yun Zhao cross the river because of his

Ambition will bring war to the Central Plains again and the people will fall into suffering again."

"But now Yun Zhao's Northern Expedition Army has crossed the river!" Liu Xutong sighed.

Cheng Qun smiled coldly, "As long as Yun Zhao can't cross the river, as long as his main force is still in the north, his troops crossing the river will not last long under the attack of the Fourth Master in the future, so we must be in the Mongolian people.

To seek a certain balance between Yun Zhao, the Mongolian people are also the power we can use. To restrain Yun Zhao in Jiangbei, when the Fourth Master unified the Central Plains, we can get endless supplies. At that time, we will also waste.

To kill him.”

"Yun Zhao wanted to use the empty Qinzhou Yizhou to drag me to death, but he didn't expect that Jingzhou behind me would let me survive the difficulties of the first period. When the Fourth Master completely defeated the old man, the empty Qinyi and the two Qinyizhous were soon

We will receive strong assistance, Dingkou, food, and weapons, and we will have a brand new Qinyi state."

"The General is right." Liu Xuyong hesitated for a moment, "General, we saw something in the government office in Qinzhou City."

"What?"

"Yao Changkun erected a monument in the Qinzhou Prefecture."

"A monument was erected?" Cheng Qun laughed and said, "Yao Changkun also played such a child's trick? What is written on the monument?"

"It says, General Cheng, since you are here, don't leave. Stay in the north forever. I'll wait for you in Liangzhou!" Liu Xuyong reposted.

Cheng Qun laughed, "I wasn't going to leave at first! Xuyong, this monument is still there, leave it for me, leave it for me, let me keep it as a souvenir!"

In Cheng Qun's view, Yao Changkun's move was more of an act of intent. In his reflection, Yao Changkun was a calm and highly destined person. He actually made such a move and couldn't help but let him go

Cheng Qun was surprised, and it seemed that he could imagine Yao Changkun's anger at that time.

One day later, Cheng Qun's main force settled in Qinzhou City, which will become the location of his central army in the next few years. Qinzhou is on the verge of Cangjiang. Under the current circumstances, it is just right for Cheng Qun's current situation.

However, Cheng Qun was a little unexpected when the information fed back from various places.

Not only the Northern Expedition Army, but also the Mongolians were retreating on a large scale, as if they had conspired with the Northern Expedition Army in advance. The Mongolian Army Bolu also gave up the two places of Puzhou and Longzhou, and the methods were exactly the same as those of the Northern Expedition Army.

After a large-scale destruction, they moved away from Dingkou and left Cheng Qun with an empty land.

After Liu Xuyong's Qianniuwei occupied Yizhou, he discovered the abnormal movement in Puzhou and Longzhou. He had no time to ask for instructions, so he immediately launched an attack on the two places, hoping to leave something behind, but they did not take advantage of it, but instead they were

The Mengren cavalry, who were coming and going like the wind, beat a stick and lost more than a thousand vanguard troops. By the time their vanguard generals regrouped, the Mengren had completely withdrew from both places.

Qinzhou Prefecture, Cheng Qun, leader of the military guard Liu Huajian, leader of the Leopard Guard Jiang Guangyu, leader of the Qianniu Guard Liu Xuyong, deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard Lan Kun and other senior generals gathered together. What happened in the north made them very popular.

In addition to the accident, I was also at a loss. It was like a person who had accumulated a lot of strength and swung it heavily, but hit the empty space without any force. The discomfort was probably the one who swung the punch himself.

.

"General, what should we do? Next, will we attack Liangzhou, or Jiaozhou? Or Yanzhou?" Liu Huajian looked at the map and asked depressedly. The opponent's behavior was too weird, which made them a little nervous.
