As he said that, he presented a secret letter, which was a secret letter from Zhao Guan's family to Yue Fei.

After reading it, Yue Fei said: "Your Majesty wants to make Jin Wushu think that the main force of our army is in the Hejian area, mainly attacking Bazhou."

"But in fact, the main force of the Hebei Army is in the Zhending and Dingzhou areas." Xue Yan said, "Is it too risky for His Majesty to arrange this way? The Guards Brigade has only [-] soldiers and horses."

"No, there is Han Shizhong in Cangzhou. Cangzhou and Hejian are only separated by the Yellow River. His Majesty will definitely arrange for Han Shizhong to sit on the right side. If Jin Wushu really puts the main force on Hejian Mansion, our army can quickly advance to get it. Youzhou, break Jinwu’s path, then the overall situation will be settled.” Yue Fei pointed to the map and said, “Our army will come back from Youzhou and surround Jinwushu, but…”

Yue Fei paused for a while.

"Does Shuai Yue have any concerns?"

"So far, we don't know how many troops Jin Wushu has. If Jin Wushu has more than 15 troops, and his army presses into Hejian Mansion, I'm afraid Han Shizhong on the East Road will not be able to provide assistance quickly."

Xue Yan thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, our army can stay in the Dingzhou area first to observe the details of the enemy army. If the main force of Jinwushu is large, we will not go north for now."

"No! Go north, we must go north! Even if we divide our forces, we must go north!" Yue Fei said firmly, "His Majesty the Emperor personally held back the enemy army in Hejian, and fought for us. If our army does not go north, how will we explain to His Majesty!"

"The Marshal is right!"

"As for the area around Yunzhong, leave it to Wu Jie and the others. Our mission along the way is to take down Youzhou! Wanyan Quan is already dead, and if not expected, Jin Wushu will send troops soon!"

On October [-]th, the Jin army gathered in Xijin Mansion. No one knew how many troops Jin Wushu had mobilized.

Wan Yanjing led three thousand elites to launch a round of purges against the refugees in Xijin Mansion.

It is said that on this day, the snow around the Sanggan River was red, and the bodies of those refugees were piled up layer after layer.

The wild dogs, which had been hungry for a long time, rushed to the pile of dead people like wolves, gnawing crazily.

On the first day of November, the people Zhang Jiefu sent to Beijing to inquire about the news returned.

Chapter 1408 Broke Shangjing’s granary (first update)

The information obtained by Zhang Jiefu's people is very clear.

[-]. Wanyan Quan is indeed dead, it is said that he died of illness, but this reason is not convincing.

Second, Wan Yanliang is now succeeding to the throne.

Third, the most important point is that Jin Ting issued an arrest warrant for Wan Yanchang.

The third point is undoubtedly confirming Wan Yanchang's true identity and dispelling Zhang Jiefu's last doubts.

Yang Zaixing immediately assembled soldiers and horses, [-] Song troops, [-] Tata'er troops, and [-] Hongji troops, a total of [-] troops, braved the wind and snow, and quickly marched eastward.

Darhan, the leader of the Hongji tribe, said: "Yang Dutong, we must arrive at Huining Mansion before December, otherwise the heavy snow will cover everything, and by then the hounds and horses will not be able to tell the direction."

He's not alarmist, it's now November and it's snowing.

Huining Mansion has entered the cold winter, and the temperature on the grassland has begun to drop sharply at this time.

Zhang Jiefu stepped up and said, "We must arrive within ten days."

After speaking, he looked at Wan Yanchang.

Wan Yanchang sighed, looked at the vast world ahead, and said: "With the current weather, the march will be delayed. If you want to arrive within ten days, you must march quickly."

Yang Zaixing said in a loud voice: "Give the order and march quickly. You must march 150 miles a day!"

"Dutong, it may be difficult to march 150 miles a day in this weather." Darhan said in embarrassment.

"What is this!" Wan Yanchang immediately retorted, "I think back then, when we brought soldiers and horses to the south to attack the Song Dynasty, that was..."

He wanted to show off, but immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly shut up.

But Zhang Jiefu said: "You just say it's okay, how much was your march every day?"

"If it's cavalry, it's at least 150 miles a day, and there are thousands of troops, which is not a minority. It's also November, and Yanjing and Hebei have already entered winter!"

Wan Yanchang said proudly.

During the heyday of the Jin Army, what they were best at was fighting blitzkrieg, especially the Jin Army commanded by Wanyan Loushi.

Whether it is pure cavalry or infantry, they are all known for their fast marching.

Darhan could no longer refute.

Wan Yanchang said in his heart: This matter involves my future livelihood, and there must be no mistakes.

But Wan Yanchang asked again: "General Counselor Zhang, I still have one doubt. We are all cavalry, how to transport heavy artillery, if there is no heavy artillery, how to quickly break through the city?"

"You don't have to worry about that."

Compared with artillery and heavy artillery, the biggest advantage of explosives may not be that they are more powerful against city walls, but that they are easy to carry, and only need to be consigned on war horses in batches.

After this discussion, Song Jun immediately started on his way.

Five days later, the Song army crossed the Daxing'anling Mountains and arrived in the northern part of Changchun Prefecture without anyone noticing.

At this time, the Jin army had not yet discovered that the Song army on the grassland had entered the border area of ​​Jin.

On the sixth day of November, the Song army came to Changchun Prefecture (Baicheng) and launched an offensive on this important town on the western border of the Kingdom of Jin.

The offensive was very simple. Neither artillery nor heavy artillery was used. The gunpowder was directly used and buried under the city. With a loud sound, the city wall collapsed.

At that time, not only Darhan, but even Wan Yanchang was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

He finally knew why Zhang Jiefu was so sure that he came with a cavalry march.

The Song army actually has such a powerful new type of firearm!

Wan Yanchang's eyes were shining brightly, and now he was more convinced that it was wise for him to seek refuge in Song Dynasty.

The strong city wall of Changchun prefecture collapsed tens of meters, and the sound of the explosion echoed in the empty wasteland, like the god of anger, most people in the city were lying on the ground in horror.

Those who were a little closer saw the city wall collapse with their own eyes, and the shock made their brains go blank.

Song Jun did not rush to attack, but roared outside the city, making a sound like mountains and seas.

The golden men in the city were overwhelmed by the wave of fear.

On the second day, after the Song army issued a call to crusade against the rebellious officials and thieves of the Jin Kingdom in Changchun Prefecture, there was no more resistance, and thousands of Jin troops in Changchun Prefecture surrendered.

On the eighth day of November, the news that Changchun Prefecture had been breached by the Song Army was sent to Shangjing, which shocked the court of the Kingdom of Jin.

Even Wan Yanliang, who was still indulging in wine, jumped up and hurriedly summoned the ministers to discuss matters.

On the same day, the Jin envoy set off from Shangjing.

On the ninth day of November, the Jin envoy arrived in Changchun Prefecture and met Yang Zaixing.

The Jin envoy asked: "Song and Jin have already signed a peace treaty. The two countries are brothers. Why did the people of Song invade our territory for no reason?"

Yang Zaixing said: "Song and Jin are countries of brothers, that's why I, Master Wang, came here."

"What nonsense!"

"Before, it was the emperor of your country who wrote to my son of heaven to invite the king master of the Great Song Dynasty to come and quell the chaos. Now the chaotic ministers and thieves in the Kingdom of Jin are killing the master and seizing the throne. How can I sit idly by and ignore it!"

"Nonsense, absolutely nothing!"

"Is Wan Yanqin dead?"

Kim was silent.

"He wrote to the emperor for help before he was alive, but unexpectedly he was murdered, and his subordinates killed the lord. This is a disaster for the world!" Yang Zaixing scolded face to face, "This is my Song's call to crusade against the rebellious officials and thieves of the Jin Kingdom. Take it back and tell the rebellious officials. Thief, let him bind his hands and kneel in front of the city to wait for my master Wang to come, otherwise the power of the sky will come and his head will be in a different place!"

"You you you... you Song people are shameless!"

The golden envoy was kicked out.

On the tenth day of November, the envoy of Jin quickly returned to Shangjing, and tremblingly handed the Song army's crusade to Wan Yanliang.

It seems that after the Song Army's crusade, Wan Yanliang smiled instead of anger: "Song Army is so courageous, even in this season, he dared to attack me in Shangjing!"

He knew that the one who attacked Changchun Prefecture must be the power of the Song Army in the grassland.

But Song people are not resistant to cold, and the grasslands have different ideas, and he also knows it.

Song people went deep into Huining mansion in such a severe winter, Wan Yanliang thought that the commander-in-chief of the Song army was out of his mind.

In fact, according to normal logic, it was really not a wise move for Song Jun to arrive at Huining Mansion in this season.

After all, the Jin people can fight protracted battles, and they can quickly exhaust the Song people, and then wait for work at ease, easily defeating the Song army.

Wan Yanliang began to gather elite troops in Huining Mansion, and dispatched vanguard cavalry to harass the Song army, and began to entangle the Song army.

But Wan Yanliang didn't know that the main force of the Song Army in Changchun Prefecture was actually attracting Shangjing's attention.

As early as the day Changchun Prefecture was destroyed, Zhang Jiefu and Wan Yanchang, with [-] soldiers and horses, quietly entered the hinterland of Huining Mansion.

Their target is the granary.

It was also on the tenth day of November that Wan Yanchang led Song Jun to find the first granary in Huining Mansion.

The sound of explosives sounded under the city wall again. After the wall of the granary was bombed, the Song army rushed in, found the place where the grain was stored, and burned the grain clean with a fire.

Then he turned around and rushed to the next granary without stopping.

Chapter 1409 Wanyan Liang, who is furious (second update)

Wan Yanchang, who was at this level, used to be the deputy privy envoy in the Yanjing Privy Council, and was later transferred to Shangjing to take charge of a part of the emperor's imperial guards.

He knew the location of the granary in Huining Mansion well.

Within two days, Song Jun lost three granaries.

On November [-]th, Wan Yanliang, dressed in military uniform, was inspecting his Hezha Mengan.

He looked at the orderly armored infantry and cavalry, and nodded with satisfaction.

This is an army with extremely powerful combat effectiveness, they are like a forest of steel.

Wan Yanliang argued to Tang Kuo, "Has my handbook been sent to Wanyan Zongmin?"

Tang Kuo argued, "It's been two days since I sent it out, Wanyan Zongmin should have received His Majesty's order."

"Then you say, Wanyan Zongmin will send troops to Changchun Prefecture?" Wanyan Liang asked.

"If he doesn't send troops, we will cut off his food."

"Hahaha, after Yan Zongmin sends troops to Changchun Prefecture, first fight with the Song people and let them consume each other. Finally, I will personally lead the army and defeat the Song army!"

"Your Majesty, I have always had a doubt."

"What doubt?"

"Why did the Song army stationed on the grassland suddenly come to Shangjing at this time?" Tang Kuo argued, "Song people don't like to fight in winter, but this time, the Song army took the risk of heavy snow on the grassland to come to my Huining come to the government."

Wan Yanliang frowned slightly, he had thought about this problem before.

Wan Yanliang is very familiar with Han people, he admires Han culture very much, and hangs out with famous Han people who live in Huining Mansion all the year round.

Search for the most beautiful women when you have nothing to do, and share them with those Han celebrities.

While wiping sweat happily, everyone discussed academic and governance concepts.

Han people don't like places with severe cold, he has heard it mentioned more than once by Han people.

Song Jun's arrival was a bit inexplicable.

"Could it be Wanyanchang?" Wanyanliang suddenly turned to look at Tang Kuobian.

"Undoubtedly it belongs to him!"

"Wan Yanchang is a dog who eats inside and out!" Wanyan Liang turned blue with anger, "I will definitely catch him and tear him into pieces!"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as we imagined!" Tang Kuobian frowned more and more, he seemed to realize something, and his expression became serious, "If Wan Yanchang brought the Song Army, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what?" Wan Yanliang seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem, and his expression became more gloomy.

"If the minister is Wan Yanchang, it must not be Changchun Prefecture, but... it is the granary of Huining Mansion!"

"Wan Yanchang may not know where the granary is!" Wan Yanliang said.

While their monarchs and ministers were whispering, several scout cavalry came galloping in the open space in the queue.

Seeing scout cavalry, no one dared to stop them.

"Your Majesty! Something is wrong!" The man rushed over, got off his horse and ran in front of Wan Yanliang, "The Song army raided our granary!"

Wan Yanliang trembled all over. He was arguing with Tang Kuo about this issue just now. He comforted himself by saying that Wan Yanchang didn't know the location of the granary. When he turned around, there was news that the granary had been burned down by the Song army.

This also confirmed the conjecture that Song Jun was brought by Wan Yanchang.

"I can't wait to eat that dog's meat!" Wan Yanliang was furious, "I have ordered the whole army to gather and march towards Changchun Prefecture. I want those Song dogs to know that it was they who came to Huining Mansion." Worst decision ever!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"
