Chapter 109: Three British worship the Lord

At the same time when Niu Gao and Yang Zaixing led reinforcements into Daming City, news came from Suzhou and Sizhou in the southern part. Han Shizhong took the lead in defeating the 20,000 Qi army in Suzhou, and then turned around and attacked the 20,000 Qi army in Sizhou with Liu Guangshi. Seeing that the situation was not good, the enemy general Fan Qiong led 20,000 troops to retreat north in panic. He was ambushed by Han Shizhong's army. The Qi army was defeated. Fan Qiong led thousands of remaining troops to break through and flee in the direction of Bianjing.

Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi were not in a hurry to catch up. After they rectified their troops for a day, they continued to march towards Bianjing.

At this time, Li Yanqing was leading an army of 90,000 to advance to Jeju. The army marched relatively low-key. Two days later, the army arrived in Juye County, Jeju and established a logistics base in Juye County.

At night, a fleet of ships sailed from Liangshanpo, entered Wuzhang River, and moored on the dock that had wiped out Liu Yi's army. Zhang Rong, Shi Xiu and Liu Tang got off the boat and led a team of soldiers to quickly walk towards Juye County.

Li Yanqing had sent people to the lake to convey the news to them. The Regent of the Regent of the State came in person, of course, it was their chance. Zhang Rong decided to come to see the Regent without hesitation, and Shi Xiu also asked to come with him. In contrast, Liu Tang was very hesitant. It was only when Zhang Rong got on the boat that he finally decided to follow Zhang Rong to meet Li Yanqing.

Liu Tang had his concerns to understand. When Li Yanqing followed Zong Shidao to encircle and suppress Liangshan army, he made great contributions to the court's final extermination of Liangshan army. Tong Guan only picked Zong Shidao and Li Yanqing's peaches. Therefore, in the hearts of the generals of Liangshan, the Liangshan army was defeated by Zong Shidao and Li Yanqing, not Tong Guan, so Liu Tang had some resistance.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the Song army camp outside Juye County. At this time, the Song army camp had not been completed. Thousands of soldiers were building walls. The three of them came to the gate of the camp to explain the situation. The soldiers immediately rushed to report to them. Soon, the master Bo Cao Ye came to the gate of the camp to greet them.

"In the lower lord Bo Cao Ye, Du Shuai is discussing military affairs. Please follow me, three generals."

The three of them looked at each other and followed Cao Ye into the military camp. Soon after, they came to the central army tent. Zhang Rong whispered to Cao Ye, "What should we call His Highness the Regent?"

Cao Ye smiled slightly, "You are already a member of General Song, you can call Du Shuai, and everyone in the army calls him that."

"I see!"

When he arrived at the entrance of the tent, he saw Li Yanqing with Wang Gui, Cao Meng and other generals waiting for them in front of the tent. Zhang Rong had seen Li Yanqing and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and said, "I am not good at the position of Zhang Rong, who is not good at Du Shuai!"

At this time, Shi Xiu and Liu Tang also knelt down and saluted. Li Yanqing hurriedly stepped forward and helped them up, and smiled and said, "Three generals are exempt from the gifts. I have heard of the names of the three generals for a long time."

Zhang Rong hurriedly said: "The Dushang is famous all over the world. It is the welfare of the people in the world and the hope of the Song Dynasty. It is our honor to be able to serve the Dushang!"

Li Yanqing looked at the three of them and saw that Zhang Rong and Shi Xiu looked sincere, but Liu Tang's smile was a little reluctant. He didn't care, so he introduced Wang Gui and Cao Meng to the three of them. Everyone immediately walked into the tent.

The huge ceramic map was placed in the middle of the tent. Zhang Rong and the other two exclaimed. They had never seen such a map before. It was simply lifelike and very intuitive.

"It took me three years to do this, which is of great help to marching and fighting, but it still requires experience and cooperation."

Li Yanqing picked up the wooden pole and pointed at Juye County, and pointed to Xucheng County, Yunzhou, two hundred miles away. He smiled at the three of them: "For example, I see these two counties very clearly. There are official roads connected between these two cities, but what terrain is on both sides of the official road? I can't see these on the map, and I have to ask about them with experience, such as the three!"

Zhang Rong laughed, "It's true, and it has changed a lot in the past two years. There was originally a vast forest near the lake in the north, but it was set on fire by the Jin soldiers half a month ago. The entire forest of more than ten miles was destroyed, which had a great impact on us. If Du Shuai asked a businessman who had been to Xucheng recently, he would not know that the forest had been burned, and this still needed to be investigated by the scouts on the spot."

Cao Meng's face looked a little ugly. He just mentioned that the woods could be sent to ambush there, but he didn't expect it to be burned.

Li Yanqing smiled and asked them to sit down again, "How is the army's recent situation?" Li Yanqing asked with concern.

Zhang Rong sighed, "The Jin soldiers plundered and burned and killed Yunzhou and Jinan Prefecture in a frantically. Many brothers' homes were affected, and some brothers left at night."

"How many deserters have appeared?" Wang Gui asked from the side. He knew very well what the appearance of deserters meant, which was a sign of the collapse of the morale of the army.

"About 300 people, they have stabilized slightly in the past few days, and there were no deserters yesterday."

"That is brewing a larger-scale escape!" Wang Gui unceremoniously exposed the so-called illusion of stability.

"What about the situation of the Jin soldiers?" Li Yanqing changed the unpleasant topic caused by Wang Gui.

Zhang Rong glared at Wang Gui and then said, "The situation of the Jin soldiers is very strange. They have not come out in the military camp these days. According to the analysis of the humble vocation, it should be that the wheat harvest season is coming. The Jin soldiers are waiting for the people to harvest the grain before they come out to grab the grain. This is the reason. The grain they grab can only last for a month or two at most. If they want to wait until the Yellow River freezes and retreats in winter, they need a lot of food."

"We are handsome, we should take the initiative to attack!" Wang Gui still insisted on his plan.

Li Yanqing did not answer. He came to the map and looked at the map with his hands behind his back to ponder. At this time, everyone in the tent came over and surrounded both sides of the map.

After pondering for a long time, Li Yanqing suddenly asked, "General Zhang, what do you think is the weakness of this cavalry?"

Zhang Rong was shocked, and he quickly looked at both sides. Wang Gui nodded to him. It turned out that he was really asking himself that this question was difficult to answer!

Zhang Rong thought for a while and said, "The weakness of this army is that it is too cruel. It is fine to rob food, but it is also burned, killed, raped, which makes the people and gods of Yunzhou angry. Such an army will not have any results in the end."

Li Yanqing nodded, "You have hit the point, but you didn't talk about the root. Of course, this has something to do with your lack of intelligence."

Zhang Rong's face turned red and he bowed quickly and said, "I am willing to listen to the teachings of the handsome man!"

"The teachings are not enough, let's discuss them!"

Li Yanqing smiled faintly and said to everyone: "The chief general of this army is Wanyan Zonggan. He is the eldest son of Wanyan Aguda, the old wolf lord of the Jin Kingdom. He has been in the Jin Kingdom for many years and only came to Daming Mansion to serve as the chief general last year. I can tell you that this person is definitely not a cruel person, and he has always restricted military discipline by leading troops. If he forced to collect food because he had no choice, then he indulged soldiers to burn, kill and rape it on purpose."

"He is trying to force us!" Liu Tang blurted out.

"That's right!" Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Didn't you have deserters? This is the effect he wants. I believe that as time goes by, the morale of the army will become more and more depressed, so you have to pull the army out and fight with him. With the strength of 30,000 Jurchen cavalry, what is your chance of winning?"

Zhang Rong sighed slightly, "We will destroy our entire army!"

"But what if I asked you to come out and fight him?" Li Yanqing asked with a smile.

Zhang Rong suddenly understood, "Du Shuai wants us to lure the Jin soldiers into bait?"

Li Yanqing smiled and nodded, "That's the truth!"

Cao Meng was a little worried and said, "Will the Jin soldiers know that we are coming?"

Li Yanqing shook his head, "Don't take the information of the Jin soldiers so strongly. In fact, they were in the Central Plains with their eyes dark. They were just relying on their powerful cavalry to run around and hit the ground. No one would report the information to them. We were in the Central Plains to fight the sky and the earth. Wanyan Xie, who was far away in Yanshan Prefecture, might know, but the Jin soldiers in Yunzhou didn't know."

"But Wanyan Xie will tell him too!" Wang Gui said a little dissatisfied.

"How do you tell me?" Li Yanqing asked back.

Wang Gui was stunned, and Zhang Rong said carefully: "Bizhi feels that there are pigeon exchanges between them and Daming Mansion."

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "I forgot to tell you that Yan Qing's army had seized Daming Mansion ten days ago, and the Yellow River had been swept away and blocked by the naval army of the Ruan brothers."

Zhang Rong couldn't speak for a long time. After Yan Qing led his army to leave, he actually did such a big thing, which was really unexpected!

"In this way, the Jin soldiers in Yunzhou are really a disgrace."

"If the Jin soldiers knew that we were coming, the army would definitely go south, but they did not make any noise now, which means that the Jin soldiers did not know that we were coming. This is our advantage. Let's go to the west to set up a pocket and let them get in!"

When Cao Meng heard about the cloth pocket, he was excited and rubbed his hands, "Just like last time, he used a hundred thunders to blow his fucking fuck."

Li Yanqing shook his head, "This time we will set up a bigger pocket."
