The real situation is that Fucheng is in the hands of Yue Fei, but the information sent back by Wan Yanchang is that Fucheng has been captured.

Therefore, Wanyan Zongfu immediately sent someone to report this military information to Wanyan Zonghan, the supreme commander of the army.

On October 20, Wanyan Zonghan received a letter from Wanyan Zongfu as soon as he arrived in Taiyuan Prefecture.

After reading Wanyan Zongfu's letter, Wanyan Zonghan suddenly felt extremely comfortable.

He smiled and said to Wanyan Xiyin and Shi Liai: "Wanyanchang's 30,000 troops have captured Fucheng, and the eastern front is preparing to attack Cangzhou in two directions. Zongfu said that all the Song army's eastern defenses can be defeated within a month."

Shi Liai said: "If we can break through all the defense lines of the Song army before December, we can march straight in and seize Jingdong East Road (Shandong Province), Jingdong East Road (Shandong Province), Jingdong East Road, and Jingdong East Road. I heard that the richest in the Song Dynasty were Huainan East Road and

Jiangnan East Road, as long as Jingdong East Road is defeated, Huainan East Road and Jiangnan East Road will be under the front of our army."

Wanyan Xiyin stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Most of the taxes in the Song Dynasty came from the southeast, and the treasures in the southeast are the most abundant. Our army can take the opportunity to seize the wealth of the Song people and further weaken the Song Dynasty."

In fact, for Jin Jun, time is also very precious.

What they faced was the Central Plains dynasty that was thousands of miles deep. Although they had strong field capabilities, facing the Central Plains civilization with very strong cohesion, it was impossible to completely defeat it.

Therefore, in fact, the strategy proposed by Wanyan Gao against the Song Dynasty was "tiring the Song Dynasty".

What is Tired Song Dynasty?

They constantly attacked the Song Dynasty, constantly consumed the Song Dynasty, and exhausted the Song Dynasty. Each time, they caused huge damage to important towns and cities in the Song Dynasty and plundered huge amounts of wealth.

This further weakened the Song Dynasty.

This point was inherited hundreds of years later by a man named Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji put forward the famous "Ti Ming", that is to say, don't think about destroying the Central Plains Dynasty in one go.

We must often go deep into the Central Plains to plunder wealth and population, so that the Central Plains dynasty will continue to weaken.

When a limit was reached and internal conflicts broke out in the Central Plains dynasty, the time came to destroy the country.

The Jin Army is now adopting this strategy.

But in terms of tactics, the Jin army still adopted fast attacks and quick attacks, which made the Song army exhausted.

Wan Yanchang didn't know that his wrong information had a huge impact on the Third Song Army War, but it hasn't been revealed yet.

From Wan Yanchang's perspective, what he did was not necessarily stupid.

After all, he made a low-level mistake and did not dare to report it to his superiors immediately. He could only find a way to deal with the matter quickly by himself. This is a very common and wise operation method.

If he captures Fucheng County, everything will be fine. If he fails to capture it, then charges of concealing military aircraft, delaying military aircraft, failing the war, etc. will follow one after another.

Of course, neither Wanyan Zonghan nor Wanyan Zongfu knew that Wanyan Chang had fallen out of favor in Fucheng.

On October 19th, the 100,000 Jin troops from Hejian Prefecture came out in full force, like dense locusts, crossing the Yellow River and pouring into Cangzhou.

The war on the Eastern Front was completely raging.

On October 20, the intelligence was sent south 800 miles away in a hurry.

On October 23, intelligence was sent to Tokyo City, and the news of the Jin army's large-scale march south was finally confirmed.

War is coming.

Not only did the Jin army on the eastern front press the border, but on October 25th, the Jin army on the middle line also took action.

Wanyan Zonghan led 200,000 troops, divided into two groups, one starting from Zhongshan Prefecture, led by Wanyan Wushu, and the other starting from Taiyuan Prefecture, led by Wanyan Zonghan himself.

Wanyan Wushu's goal was Bianliang, Tokyo, and Wanyan Zonghan's goal was Luoyang, Xijing.

After setting off from Zhongshan Mansion, Wu Shu's army of 100,000 was like a mighty torrent, rushing across the land of Hebei.

It was as if half of Hebei was trembling.

At the end of October, it started to snow in Hebei, with heavy snowfall for several nights, and cold wind howling on the vast plains.

The once bustling countryside was deserted. Even the stray wild dogs had no food and were struggling helplessly in the snow.

On October 26th, Wushu's first target was Zhaozhou.

The defense on the central line, from Zhaozhou to Xiangzhou, is hundreds of miles deep.

The overwhelming army pressed into Zhaozhou.

It only took three days for Zhaozhou's defense line to be penetrated!

Two days later, Wushu's kidnapping horse stabbed into Xingzhou like a sharp sword.

To the south of Xingzhou is Cizhou.

Cizhou was a huge iron smelting center in the Song Dynasty. Once Cizhou was lost, the court would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

On the fifth day of November, urgent military information from the central line was sent to Zhao Ning.

At this time, Prime Minister Zhao Ding, Gyeonggi Road Transport Envoy Li Guang, Minister of Household Affairs Mei Zhili, and Minister of War and Military and Political Envoy Zhang Shuye were all gathered in the Wende Hall.

Zhao Ding said: "The Jin Army has entered Xingzhou, which is only a few dozen miles away from Cizhou. According to the current intelligence, the Jin Army has at least 70,000 troops along the way. It is still unknown who the leader is."

Mei Zhili said: "It seems that the defenses built in Zhaozhou and Xingzhou may not be effective."

The speed at which the Jin army broke through the defense line was so fast that it shocked the Song Dynasty.

It gives the impression that those defenses are as vulnerable as rotten wood to the Jin army's front.

No one knows the specific situation ahead.

Zongze's military information only reported the possible total number of soldiers and horses of the Jin Army, their current location, and what actions he would take next.

What is certain is that Zongze has already started taking action.

The rhythm on the front line was not chaotic.

Zongze has a characteristic in fighting: he is calm and majestic, and his face does not change even when Mount Tai collapses in front of him.

Some people are born with leadership qualities, such as Zongze.

The coach is calm and everything will not be messy.

Zhao Ding said: "We are currently unable to determine whether it is effective. Since we cannot determine, it is inconvenient to interfere too much."

Mei Zhili said in pain: "But each of those fortresses costs at least hundreds of thousands of dollars!"

Zhao Ning said: "Money is a trivial matter, so don't worry too much about it. Don't be nervous. Everything depends on people and God. We have made sufficient preparations and are waiting for the results."

"yes."

"Mei Qing."

"exist."

"You have worked hard during this period, but you will still have to work hard for a while. Don't stop calculating the military salaries of the frontline soldiers. The Hebei Transportation Department Yamen must pay the military salaries in a timely manner to ensure the mood of the soldiers. This is what we can do."

"Yes! Officials, don't worry, I will always ask the Hebei Transportation Department Yamen."

"Li Qing."

Li Guangdao: "I am here."

"The stockpiles of food in various prefectures in Gyeonggi Road have been confirmed again. You have to go and conduct random inspections to prepare for the war that may come at any time."

"yes!"

"Mr. Zhao."

"I'm here."

"The formation status of all people in Gyeonggi Road must be repeatedly verified, and the Baojia Law must be implemented."

"yes."

The so-called Baojia method is the method of integrating soldiers and farmers.

There will be daily exercises.

"Mr. Zhang, get ready. I am going to the Imperial Guard barracks by the Yellow River tomorrow to meet with all the soldiers."

"Guan family, this is an extraordinary opportunity, I'm afraid..."

Zhao Ning said in a sharp tone: "In this time of national crisis, how can I stand by and watch? The golden thieves are determined to kill me, and I will fight them to the end!"

Everyone seemed to want to object, but Zhao Ning insisted: "When Emperor Zhenzong entered Chanyuan, his morale was greatly boosted and he contained the Liao army's offensive at the Chanyuan front line. I will not sit idly by and ignore the current crisis on the northern front!"

The few people stopped trying to persuade him, hoping that Zongze could withstand the attack of the main force of the Jin army, otherwise the emperor would conduct the expedition himself, and if something went wrong, the country would be in danger.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Send Li Ruoshui to Shaanxi to urge Zhang Jun to launch an attack on Taiyuan as soon as possible."

On the second day, news of the Jin army's march south began to spread in Tokyo.

For a time, the pressure was like a huge hand, grabbing the entire city in its palm.

Early in the morning, after Zhao Ning had finished his breakfast, he put on his armor and took Panzhi, the palace commander, all the way out of Tokyo City and arrived at the military camp on the bank of the Yellow River.

Here, there are also 50,000 elite imperial guard brigade of the Song Dynasty stationed.

These 50,000 Imperial Guards were the ones who guarded Tokyo City last year.
