The Song Dynasty returned from a great defeat and was unable to look north, let alone recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Liu Yanqing naturally became a scapegoat. Because Tong Guan made contributions to surrendering to Zhuozhou and Yizhou, he still had a prestige in the court and was deeply trusted by the officials.

Under Tong Guan's handling, Guo Yaoshi became the garrison of Zhuozhou. Because there was no more war in the north of the Song Dynasty, Guo Yaoshi had actually controlled a large area in the northern part of the Song Dynasty. Li Er also became the garrison of Yizhou because of his contributions.

For a period of time, the Song Dynasty had no movement anymore, but had close contacts with the Jin Kingdom. It was rumored that it would spend a lot of money to buy the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun from the Jin Kingdom. At this time, the Liao Kingdom, under the continuous attacks of the Jin Kingdom, had begun to retreat step by step.

In the following three years, the Song Dynasty indeed spent a lot of gold and silver to buy some cities of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun from the Jin Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom had lost a large amount of territory under the continuous attack of the Jin Kingdom, and the destruction of the country was just around the corner.

Over the past three years, Lu Yi has been developing silently. Because of Tong Guan's existence, the scale of private salt has been countless times larger, and he can accumulate countless wealth for Lu Yi every month. Lu Yi did not leave these wealth, and was all spent on military construction, but all of this was done secretly.

"Emperor Tianzuo has been captured. Xiao Wansheng wanted to assassinate the Jin Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai, but was also killed by the chaos army. The Great Liao was completely destroyed." Yang Xiyan came to Lu Yi's study and told Lu Yi the shocking news he had just obtained.

"I originally thought that with our secret support, the Liao Kingdom could withstand a little longer, but I didn't expect the Jin Kingdom to be so strong!" Lu Yi sighed, the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, and it was Lu Yi's turn to face the Jurchen clan soon.

Over the years, Lu Yi has been secretly supporting the Liao Kingdom, whether it is food, grass, arms, or military intelligence. Although Lu Yi has earned a lot of wealth in the Liao Kingdom because of this, Lu Yi's fundamental purpose is to make the Liao Kingdom resist for a period of time.

However, on the one hand, the Liao Kingdom had long been weak, and on the other hand, the Jin Kingdom was indeed powerful. Now three years have passed, the Liao Kingdom was eventually destroyed. Next, as long as the Jin Kingdom rectified its domestic affairs, it would gradually turn its attention to the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty spent a lot of gold and silver to buy the city of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, which made the Jin Kingdom covet the wealth of the Song Dynasty. What's more, the Jin Kingdom destroyed the Liao Kingdom when its troops were strong and horses were strong, how could it let go of the weak Song Dynasty?

There is not much time left for Lu Yi, and the Jin army will inevitably go south within one year at most. Fortunately, Lu Yi has been secretly accumulating strength in the past three years. Not to mention the Jin Kingdom, even Yang Xiyan doesn’t know how much strength Lu Yi has accumulated.

Then Lu Yi called Guo Yaoshi and Li Er to inform the two of the news that the Jin army was about to go south. Although they didn't know why Lu Yi concluded that the Jin army would go south, because of their long-standing trust, they did not dare to be careless and began to plan carefully to prevent the Jin army from going south.

Sure enough, a year later, the Jin Dynasty sent Bojilie Wanyan Xie to serve as the Marshal of the Capital, sent 100,000 troops, and divided the troops from Shanxi and Hebei to go south. Both armies were directed to Bianliang. It was obvious that the Jin army wanted to destroy the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.

The Jin Kingdom was divided into two routes, with the east and west, and the east army directly targeting Guo Yaoshi. As early as a year ago, under the arrangement of Lu Yi, Guo Yaoshi and Li Er began to shrink their troops, and the main forces were stationed along Zhuozhou City and Yizhou City.

In history, the Jin army attacked the Song Dynasty twice, and the first time it returned without success, the Song Dynasty ceded a large number of cities in the north. However, just ten months later, the Jin army went south again, but this time it did not give the Song Dynasty any chance, directly destroying the Song Dynasty and occupying the northern land.

The Jin army went south and was unstoppable. It soon arrived at the city of Zhuozhou. As long as the Jin army captured Zhuozhou, there would be no more obstacles to the south. The entire northern Song Dynasty would have no more troops to fight to stop the Jin army.

The Jin army was aggressive and wanted to capture Zhuozhou City in one breath. However, the Jin army soon discovered that Zhuozhou City was not as easy to break as they imagined. Under Guo Yaoshi's defense, Zhuozhou City was as stable as Mount Tai.

For a month, the Jin army continued to attack, but it never threatened Zhuozhou City. As a last resort, the Jin army had to divide its troops south and instead attack Yizhou City. But soon, the Jin army discovered that under Li Er's defense, Yizhou City was not better than Zhuozhou City.

After attacking for a long time, the Jin army could not capture the two cities of Zhuozhou and Yizhou, so in the end they only left a small number of troops to restrain Lu Yi and others. Then the large army turned south and rushed straight towards Bianliang.

"Why don't you stop the Jin army?" Yang Xiyan was in Zhuozhou City at this time. Seeing the Jin army heading south, Yang Xiyan couldn't help but be curious. She knew that Lu Yi's strength was not just that.

"Why should I stop me?" Lu Yi naturally had his own plans, otherwise Lu Yi would naturally have a way to wipe out all the Jin troops in front of him.

Yang Xiyan pondered for a moment, and looked at Lu Yi with shock. She already understood why Lu Yi did not stop the Jin army. Obviously, Lu Yi's appetite was bigger than she thought.

The other Jin army was also unstoppable at the beginning, but was blocked under the city of Taiyuan and could only besiege Taiyuan City, and was temporarily in a stalemate. However, the Jin army, who bypassed Lu Yi, went south all the way south and soon arrived at the city of Bianliang.

Bianliang City was finally defended, but the price was extremely high. The Song Dynasty was forced to ced the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian to compensate countless gold and silver to negotiate peace. Then, the Jin army, who went south to plunder countless treasures, retreated.

At this point, the Jin army's southward journey was temporarily over, but this was just the beginning. When Taiyuan City fell, the Jin army would definitely go south again, and then the Song Dynasty was not destroyed.

At this time, Zhuozhou City and Yizhou City, which were still occupied by the Song army, had actually become the territory of the Jin Kingdom. Not long after, the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to come with the Jin army and asked Guo Yaoshi to hand over Zhuozhou City and Yizhou City to the Jin army.

I'm afraid that only a strange dynasty like the Song Dynasty would do this. Lu Yi naturally would not abide by such an order. Because the imperial envoy was threatened by the Jin army, the imperial edict was a fake refusal to hand over Zhuozhou City and Yizhou City to the Jin army.

The Jin army naturally refused to give up, but for a while, they had no choice but to surround Zhuozhou City and Yizhou City, so they could only surround and not attack. Long before the Jin army headed south, Lu Yi prepared a lot of food and grass and made many backup plans. Even if the Jin army besieged for two years, Lu Yi was not afraid at all.

It was soon September, and the Jin army headed south again. This time, the Jin army did not forcibly attack the city, but bypassed Zhuozhou City and Yizhou City and headed south all the way. This time, the Jin army was still as powerful as the bamboo shoot, and soon defeated all the defenders and rushed straight to the city of Bianliang.

Another army finally captured Taiyuan City, and then headed south and joined the Jin army on the east. This time, the Jin army did not give the Song Dynasty a chance to negotiate peace. The two armies directly captured Bianliang and captured the two sects of Huiqin, which was known in history as the shame of Jingkang.

Later, the Jin army established Zhang Bangchang as emperor in Bianliang City, and the country was called "Da Chu". It also supported the puppet regime in several other places. The entire Song Dynasty officially perished. Only King Kang Zhao Gou of the Great Song Dynasty escaped, and soon he would become emperor in the south and establish the Southern Song Dynasty regime.

"Now the north of the Song Dynasty has fallen, and although there is still half of the country, what are you going to do now if you die sooner or later!" Yang Xiyan did not expect that the great Song Dynasty was so vulnerable. However, the Song Dynasty was destroyed and Lu Yi had become an isolated army, and it was basically a situation of death.

"The Song Dynasty has long been corrupt, so it is said that it will not be established without destruction. For thousands of years, all of our Han people have been reborn in the fire of destruction again and again. Look at the fierce Jin army, but I regard it as a grasshopper after autumn, and it can't jump for a few days!" The Song Dynasty was destroyed, and Lu Yi had no worries anymore, and he could finally let go of his hands and feet.

"Although you are very strong, the Jin army is unstoppable now. What are you going to destroy the Jin Kingdom?" Yang Xiyan was surprised and puzzled. Although she knew that Lu Yi had hidden a lot of strength, how could she be the opponent of the Jin army.

"Transfer our military orders and ask Guo Yaoshi and Li Er to discuss matters!" Lu Yi did not answer, but asked someone to summon his subordinates. Now that the Jin army is about to return north, it is time for Lu Yi to give the Jin army a head-on blow.

"Brother, are you going to start the action?" Li Er strode to Lu Yi, his words full of excitement.

"Now half of the country has fallen, and the Jin army is about to return north. At that time, the Jin army will definitely not let us go, as a thorn in our side. It is necessary to take action first!" Guo Yaoshi also arrived at this time. Hearing Li Er's words, he couldn't help but speak.

"We endured for so long, and it was time for the people of the world to see our strength! Are you all ready?" Lu Yi was also full of energy at this time. After planning for so long, it was time for a battle to decide the world.

"Brother, there are now 100,000 troops in Yizhou City and Zhuozhou City, all of which are elite. Even if I fight the Jin army, I can still fight and win!" Li Er was full of confidence. These armies were trained by Li Er, and no one knew the combat power of these armies better than Li Er.

"Although the Jin army is fierce, our army is all elite. As long as we prepare in advance, it is not difficult to defeat the Jin army in one battle!" Guo Yaoshi was also amazed at Li Er's method of training the army.

"We not only want to win this battle, but also completely annihilate the Jin army, so that the Jin army will not have the strength to go south for at least three years!" Lu Yi's appetite was bigger than everyone.

"Although our army is all elite, it is probably a bit difficult to completely wipe out the Jin army!" Guo Yaoshi hesitated. Now that the Jin army has just destroyed the Song Dynasty, his morale is strong, and it is difficult to wipe out the Jin army in one fell swoop.

"I have made arrangements for this. This time we will divide the troops into two groups. Guo Yaoshi, please follow me to lead 50,000 troops to deal with the Jin Dynasty's eastern army. Li Er, you will lead 50,000 troops to deal with the Jin Dynasty's western army. Our goal is to completely annihilate the Jin Dynasty's western army before the Jin Dynasty leaves the Great Wall!" Lu Yi quickly issued a military order, which no one could question.

Yaoshi Guo wanted to speak but stopped, so he could only abide by the military orders. Although he was not sure why Lu Yi was sure to wipe out the Jin army, the military orders were as heavy as a mountain, and Yaoshi Guo had to follow the orders.

Then Lu Yi specially kept Li Er and gave a special explanation. On that day, Lu Yi's troops were divided into two groups and ambushed the important roads of the Jin army's northward return in advance, preparing to annihilate the Jin army in one fell swoop.
