Chapter 268: Fishing for dragons with golden bait, Jiang Gan crosses Jiangdong. Come and envoy!

The great Jin Kingdom was in heaven. On October 5th, Wanyan Liang rushed back to Shangjing. When he saw the people left behind in Shangjing, he saw that everyone in the court was panic.

Hebei's drastic changes have been reported to Shangjing in recent months. When Xiao Yu led his army south, he once sent a letter to bring the troops available to Shangjing. At that time, the prime minister refused to allow it. As Shangjing was the foundation of the country, Yannan was the place to fight, and he could not abandon the roots and chase the end. Therefore, there were still nearly 30,000 troops defending the above capital.

But in a rage, Xiao Yu not only led all his troops from Zhongjing to Yanjing, but also sent the Hebei military newspapers to Wanyan Liang's army directly to Wanyan Liang's army. The war in Hebei also reported to all the yamen inside and outside the Shangjing Shangshu Province. All the officials in Shangjing were found to be true and false. Therefore, when Wanyan Liang had not returned, the officials and people in Shangjing had already known that Hebei was already the Yue family's army. The latest news was that Zhending Prefecture had fallen into Yang Zaixing's hands and was now leading 200,000 troops to Yanjing.

Under such circumstances, how could the ministers in Shangjing not panic?

Although Wanyan Liang was shocked and angry at the time of the army, he had arrived in Shangjing and saw that the ministers were panicked, he settled down: "Dayan dealt with it very well that day! I think Yang Zaixing had been involved in the Taihang bandits' rebellion. As long as I calculated, he actually knew that he would be considered a talent when the king's army attacked Mongolia in the north. Humph, can this shake the foundation of the Dajin? The people in Yannan and Hebei have always been weak, so how can they fight with the Jurchen heroes? Hebei soldiers and horses all defended Mongolia in the north, so that the thief took advantage of the opportunity to enter. Although the land was wide, it was not enough to cause disaster. Just the heavenly soldiers went south, just like ants! But Li Renxiao actually dared to expel the Jin envoy and sent troops to Datong. Hey, he was very brave!"

When the ministers heard that Wanyan Liang underestimated Yang Zaixing, they were all sweating in their hearts. Recently, the Jin army had been invincible where Yang Zaixing passed. Even after Bodi returned to Yanjing, they became a rank of Japanese ranks to defend the city as their top priority. They never mentioned the matter of leading troops to fight back. The people in Shangjing were not deaf or blind. How could they not guess any clues? The giant wood craftsmen who were continuously transported from Liaodong to Yanjing were originally used to build a new capital of the Great Jin Dynasty. Now they are all used on city defense, building high walls and structuring fortifications, waiting for the Song people to attack. How could they be compared to ordinary thieves and bandits?

But the emperor is so arrogant, how dare the ministers object? At that moment, the Marshal Wanyan Gun of the Capital came out and said, "Your Majesty is very clear. The southerners are vulnerable, but only because Hebei is empty, so they are taking advantage of it. Now the army is victorious and returns. You can go south to fight in one go, so that the Yang bandits have nowhere to escape, so as to avoid delays in time, and give the bandits the opportunity to escape!"

After hearing this, the other officials were secretly exclaiming. Wanyan Gun had been going on a war with the king for a long time. He didn't know the details of Hebei, so he dared to release this remark. How dare the people of Shangjing be so arrogant? Zhang Zhongfu, the minister of the Shangshu, was the first to go on duty to oppose it, saying, "Your Majesty, Yanjing Prefecture has been built on behalf of others, and cannot be captured for a while. At present, Xiao Xiang led his army to defend 50,000 troops and horses are strong, and he is not under Shangjing. I believe that Yang thieves will not dare to take it arbitrarily for a while! However, the army fought for months, and the food and grass in Shangjing were insufficient, so he went south rashly, for fear of adding to the burden of Yanjing! It would be better to rest for half a month, wait for me to raise the food and grass, and all the tools were ready, so I could succeed in one fell swoop and avoid being taken by the thief!"

As soon as these words were said, all the ministers were worried. In the court, Zhang Zhongfucheng was the first person to dare to openly express his concerns about victory or defeat!

But unexpectedly, Wanyan Liang showed no sign of an attack. Zhang Zhongfu was originally a Han minister of Wanyan Liang's direct line, and he could also be considered the most capable minister of the Jin Dynasty's economy. If he said he did not know about military affairs, he could still be considered a matter of it. However, when it comes to engineering construction and wealth economy, the Jin Dynasty would not be the second person. At present, he could not guarantee the logistics support of the army's southern expedition. How could Wanyan Liang be unaware of anything?

"Zhang Qing said very much, but the soldiers are more important than speed, so you should not stay in the capital for a long time!" Wanyan Liang hesitated for a while and finally made up his mind: "Three days later, I will lead the army to Dading Prefecture, Xu Tu goes south, and all the Han people who build moats in the north of the Mo River can drive them all to Dading Prefecture to move food and equipment to the army. It will not be too late to build the moat next year!"

Zhao Zifu, the Minister of Justice, came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan, or I can help Hebei without spending troops, horses, money and food!"

When the ministers heard this, they were shocked and even Wanyan Liang became interested: "What good advice do you have? Just report it!"

Zhao Zifu said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Emperor Jinde Zhao Huan was rebellious and was captured by Yang thieves and was detained in Zezhou, thinking that he was the former lord. Now Zhao Huan's concubines and descendants were all in the city of five countries. Why not send an envoy to the Yang thieves' army to inform the instructions that if you do not return to the capital and wait for the defeat, you will kill the crown prince and correct your crimes? I heard that the people of Song people are only loyal and filial. How dare you harm the lord to attack the city and plunder the land? In this way, you will not spend any troops, horses, money and food, and you will be safe in Hebei?"

This is not wrong at all. Although Wanyan Liang didn't know what Yang Zaixing was like, he only knew that the iron spear in his hand almost over the plan of the Jin army to go south in the past. If Zhao Gou had not issued an order to withdraw his troops, he would have been afraid that Hebei would have been out of the hands of Da Jin because of this gun! Zhao Huanzi Zhao Wang, Zhao Jin, and Zhao Xun were indeed still in the hands of the Jin people. Among them, Zhao Xun was born in Wuguo City, but whether Yang Zaixing would stop his troops and go south because of this, it is unknown whether Zhao Huan could control the political situation of the Song State.

"What Zhao Aiqing said is right, I am very proud of it!" Wanyan Liang lowered the impulse to kill the Han minister with a knife. Looking back, this statement might be really useful, or Yang Zaixing was so trampled, and would he be scared away by threats? Wanyan Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly. He thought there was an emperor in Lin'an. Yang Zaixing would never be stupid enough to stop the army. After all, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses cannot be forced to retreat in one sentence, unless Zhao Gou is the commander of the army, that is another matter. But under the application of this plan, if it can block Yang Zaixing's pace of attack on Yanjing for the Great Jin Kingdom, it would be a great pleasure to prepare for the Great Jin army to calmly prepare to go south and defeat the Song people in a battle in Yanjing City!

"After this strategy, the army still needs to go south. It is only possible to send a good envoy to the Yang bandit army to withdraw his troops. If he does not accept the teachings and is stubborn, then the heavenly soldiers will be fine!" Wanyan Liang immediately issued an order and said, "The Deputy Envoy of the Privy Councilor Wanyan Ang, then I will send my order to Wei, the Ministry of Five Kingdoms, Tatar, Goryeo, Bohai and other departments to gather all the troops to come to Dading Prefecture to listen to it. The internal affairs must arrive in two months. If the military law is late, I will be engaged in military law! The political affairs officer of the government of Xiao Yu, and I will send my order to Yang Zaixing Army in Yannan to withdraw his troops to Zezhou on standby. If Hebei is safe, I can forgive his crimes! Zhang Zhongfu, the minister of the Minister of State, raised all the money, grain and equipment, and all went to Dading Prefecture to listen to it. Wood, stone and other things will be sent to Yanjing for use. There is no need to wait for the army to gather together to prepare!"

The ministers shouted long live, and then they cheered up a little and implemented the preparations for war. In the middle of winter, although it was unbearable in the eyes of the southerners, it was the time when the Jin people used their troops and indeed took advantage of the times. The tribes of the Great Jin Kingdom received orders and sent the strong men of the tribe south. In less than two months, nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses had already joined forces to Dading Prefecture. After half a month of rest, the troops in Shangjing went on a war in the snow. This time, there was no fire defense in Shangjing. The army of 60,000 went out of Tokyo together, and there were only more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in front of the capital.

But under Wanyan Liang's urge, Zhang Zhongfu detained all the cattle and sheep within hundreds of miles of Shangjing to Dading for military use. If the food and grass were insufficient, he requisitioned the forage and animal animals that had been spent in the winter in the Jurchen people. He said he would return it after next year, but he was not willing to listen to the cry of the Jin people and forcefully took it away! Outside Dading City, within dozens of miles, there were chaotic military camps of various troops, mixed with the animals they had been arrested, which was very lively.

On October 27, Xiao Yu led hundreds of personal guards, after hardships, and finally crossed Yanjing and headed south to Yang Zaixing's army.

After passing Yanjing City, Xiao Yu heard that Xiao Yu was so amused and laughed: "The emperor is so pedantic, how could he listen to such stupid words? Xiao Mou had always known this person. In previous years, he was a master who refused to obey the order. As long as it was profitable, the King of Heaven would never take it seriously. How could he be compared to a group of scholars in Jiangnan? Brothers, please deal with it carefully. As long as you save your life, it would be a great blessing!"

Xiao Yu was so weak that his legs became weak, but he couldn't help but go to Yang Zaixing. He made up his mind early and gave him a chance to resolutely not have any attacks with Yang Zaixing. Even if Yang Zaixing said that the sky is square and the earth is round, he must respond accordingly, so as not to make things difficult for the guy who was having dinner with him.

At this time, the battle of Zhending Prefecture had already ended. Yang Zaixing still used the "midnight divine thunder" move to break through seven city gates inside and outside Zhending Prefecture. The army rushed in and did not give the defenders a chance. Fortunately, the Han army occupied most of the city. When it came to the city, they killed the Jin people and revolted. They did not make the Yue family army more than 20,000 yuan, which made Yang Zaixinghao sigh: "This group of guys cannot fight, but they are better than the other one when they eat. How can Hedong afford money and food?"

When Xiao Yu saw Yang Zaixing's army, he was already north of Hejian Prefecture, about a hundred miles away from Yanjing. Yang Zaixing had already joined forces with Wang Lan, and even Ruan Li took the navy to the near sea. A hundred years ago, the river was diverted from the route, and it entered the sea from here, only 200 miles away from Yanjing. What Yang Zaixing did was no different from Wuyan Liang. After the battle of Zhending Prefecture, only Datong Prefecture and Yanjing were not in the hands of the Song people on Hebei, which comforted Yue Shuai's ambitions back then, but the major plan planned by Yang Zaixing was in Yanjing!

Dading Prefecture has now become Yang Zaixing's real camp. All the food and grass from Hedong to the army are concentrated here, and the army has also rested for half a month. The Yue family army took the opportunity to reorganize the army and sent the old and weak people who were unbearable to use in the Han army, or were assigned to transport food and grass. According to the current scale of the army, it would take more than a month to complete the food and grass. In order to confuse the main force of the Jin army, Yang Zaixing moved the camp to less than a hundred miles away from Yanjing, and personally led 50,000 troops to threaten Yanjing, leaving only the largest bait in the world without rushing to speak. Xiao Yu sent scouts and provocations every day, but he could not enter within twenty miles of the central army. He was driven back to Yanjing by the Yue family cavalry. Instead, the Yue family army stepped on the White Army all the way, and often went to the city of Yanjing on a scale of a hundred cavalry, shouting and urging, without even taking the defenders on the city.

On this day, when the Bai Army saw Xiao Yu, he was very puzzled: this team of men and horses did not carry weapons, and the leader was a civil servant's uniform, but only three or four servants were led, and a piece of alexicon hung on the banner in his hand, and he walked around in the cold wind without debating things. Although he knew it was a Jin envoy, he rarely had such a mess.
