"Report to the general, General Mu brought us to the time, the Pingding Army had been surrounded, and the Jin chief was Wanyan Nianhan." The scattered horse sent by Qiu Muling Zhonglian reported that Mu was the Han surname of Qiu Muling.

"Has that guy Nianhan gone south?" Hu Yangeng pondered. When he and Wang Bing broke through, it was August 20th, and today was September 3rd, and it was another day when Taiyuan fell in time and space. It seemed that Nianhan had not stayed in Taiyuan for long, and the pace of Jin soldiers invading the south on the western route accelerated.

"General Mu set off a cannon in the mountains to let the Pingding Army know that there were reinforcements outside the city, and then sent a young man back to report the news."

"Okay, there is a reward."

After exploring the horse, Hu Yangeng did not summon the generals, but thought for a while. He helped Wang Bing break through and advanced the time for the Jin soldiers to occupy Taiyuan. After Nianhan's main force headed south, he did not experience the hard battle in Taiyuan and began to sweep away the surrounding prefectures and counties directly.

The Pingding Army is at the west entrance of Jingxing, and Jingxing is the main road together with Taiyuan in Hedong and Zhending in Hebei. Now the Jin soldiers on the west route have occupied Taiyuan. If the Jin soldiers on the east route then occupy Zhending, the Jin soldiers on the east route can echo each other.

In any case, it is not possible to wait on Fajiu Mountain. The Pingding Army is just a military city, which is very small and cannot be defended for long. However, as long as the Pingding Army is still in the hands of the Song army, Jingxing cannot be opened, and the Jin soldiers on the west side dare not go south with confidence. When the Jin soldiers first advanced south, it was because Jingxing was not connected, Taiyuan, Zhending, and Hejian had not been brought down, and the Jin soldiers always had worries, and the siege of Bianliang was completed hastily.

Having figured out this, Hu Yangeng decided to go forward to the Weisheng Army, then crossed the Nanguan, harassed the Jin soldiers besieging the Pingding Army, and sent a cavalry through Jingxing to inquire about the situation in Hebei.

If the war situation of the pacification army is unfavorable, the entire army will face westward, retreat to the south of Fenzhou, and defend Funiuling.

This idea is easy to say, but the army moved, and I don’t know how many things happened. Fortunately, in the past few days, the soldiers were constrained and trained soldiers, and they did not stop for a day. Longde was the place where Li Gang supervised the battle. He had sufficient soldiers and armor, food and supplies, and had already paid back the wages a few days ago, and his morale was slowly recovering.

The Weisheng Army's wise army Zhang Yaozuo had already surrendered the Jin people on August 3. Although the Weisheng Army was soon taken back by the Song army, the military city was destroyed and the food, grass and weapons stored in the city were gone. The Weisheng Army had lost its role as a fortress in the southeast of the river and could only serve as a Lunde outpost.

On September 5, Hu Yangeng passed the Weisheng Army and left Nanguan to meet with Qiu Muling Zhonglian. Qiu Muling Zhonglian reported on the situation with the Jin army Zhou Xuan on the periphery of the Pingding Army: "The last time they will bluff the flags in Yangquan and other places, and they will fire null cannons at different places every day, pretending to be a large army. The Jin thieves sent troops to search, but although they could not find our team, they had mostly seen through the plan of the Sa family. They only hoped that in the Pingding Army, they heard the sound of the null cannons, saw the flags on the top of the mountain, and they would be used as reinforcements, so they would not lose their morale. They could last for a few more days."

"Zhonglian, I did a great job. I took the soldiers to rest for half an hour first, and then led to Jingxing with the army."

When Qiu Muling Zhonglian retreated, Hu Yangeng took out a command arrow: "Puluru Bosheng obeyed the order."

Puliurubo strides forward with a grand clasped his fists to answer the order.

"Bosheng, Wang Jieshuai's strategy was set by the three cities to echo each other. I don't know what the situation is in Fenzhou on the west road. I'll order you to take your troops and go to Fenzhou to check."

"Get orders!"

Hu Yangeng did not hand over the order arrow, but instructed: "Zhang Kejian, the governor of Fenzhou, has a noble character, so you should respect him everywhere."

"yes!"

"It's just that Zhang Zhizhou is a civil servant, he does not know military tactics, and he can make a decision on his own when facing the enemy."

Pulurubo was overjoyed and reached out to take the command arrow.

Hu Yangeng glanced at Zhao Bozhen, joined the military officer, remembered something that Zhao Bozhen said to him, and instructed him: "Zhang Hao, the commander-in-chief of Xihe, is mostly in Fenzhou. You must act carefully and not offend them. If there is a dispute, be perfunctory first and wait until I get it."

Puliu Bosheng received the order, and Hu Yangeng led the central army to continue to march towards Jingxing County and rode on his horse. However, he couldn't help but think of Zhang Hao mentioned by Zhao Bozhen and him.

As the governor of Taiyuan and the subordinate of Hedong Pacifier Zhang Xiaochun, Hu Yangeng and Zhang Hao have some connections. Zhang Hao is Zhang Xiaochun's eldest son. Thinking of this, Hu Yangeng couldn't help but sneer: "It's like this that it's not loyal and unfilial!"

At this time, Zhang Hao, who was far away in Cixing, kneaded the letters in his hand into a ball: "I am not loyal or filial? Everyone in the world thinks I am not loyal or filial!"

What he tore off was a letter from a friend of Duzhong. Regarding the failure of the third rescue of Taiyuan, the official punished Li Gang to raise Dongxiao Palace and pardoned Qian Liu Yan's crime of defeating the army. However, the official only commented on Zhang Hao: "This person is unfaithful and unfilial!"

When Li Gang rescued Taiyuan, three troops advanced. Liu Sheng left Jingxing from Hebei, Jie Qian left Weisheng Army from the southeast, and Zhang Hao left Fenzhou from the southwest. Now the commander Li Gang was demoted, and the commander of the other two armies was dismissed, but the evaluation of disloyalty and unfiliality and filial piety towards him has spread all over the world.

On August 5, Zhang Hao was appointed as the Xihe Visitor, and became the Prime Minister at his thirty years old. In the Song Dynasty, he was an unprecedented emperor's favor, which was mostly due to the fact that his father Zhang Xiaochun was guarding Taiyuan. At that time, the commander of Zhang Hao was over 100,000 soldiers from Hedong, Shaanxi, and the commander was one person: Zhe Keqiu, and the commander of two: Zhang Sizheng and Ji Jing.

Then on August 7th, the troops were reduced by one-third, and Zhe Keqiu turned in again.

Zhe Keqiu was a professional transferee in the Song Dynasty. When the Song army first rescued Taiyuan, Zhe Keqiu led the Luyan and Linfu armies. Before they could fight, Liu Guangshi's troops disappeared. Zhe Keqiu quickly moved forward after a small battle with the Jin soldiers.

During the second rescue of Taiyuan, Yao Gu and other troops from Zhong Shizhong were from the east, and Zhe Keqiu advanced from the west, and then Zhe Keqiu simply did not go. Fortunately, Yao Gu Jiao's timid battle attracted the attention of the court, and Zhe Keqiu defeated the thunder for Zhe Keqiu.

Although the court had no punishment for the punishment, it was clear that the situation of transferring to the two times. So Li Gang rescued Taiyuan for the third time and appointed Zhang Hao as the Western Road Visitor, hoping that Zhang Hao would strictly urge his generals to march because his father was surrounded.

As a result, Zhe Keqiu reported to Zhang Hao that "Yang Zongmin, the governor of Linzhou, will help him to attack the enemy. I will go to Jinzhou with a false name and go to Jinzhou, and the siege of Taiyuan will be lifted." The meaning of this passage is: Yang Zongmin, the governor of Linzhou, suggests that to attack the places where the enemy must be rescued. I Zhe Keqiu pretends to go to Jinzhou under the banner of General, and then the siege of Taiyuan can be lifted.

From then on, Zhe Keqiu's troops lost contact. After a month, Zhang Hao heard that Zhe Keqiu's Lin Mansion Army had returned to the prefecture.

Afterwards, Zhang Sizheng and Ji Jing stationed in Guozha. Jin soldiers came to attack. Ji Jing's entire army fled. Zhang Sizheng was unable to support him and was defeated. Then in Shuiwen County, Zhang Sizheng sneaked into Jinzhai and beheaded hundreds of them. The next day, the Jin soldiers attacked with three thousand iron horses. Zhang Sizheng's entire army was defeated and lost tens of thousands of people. Zhang Hao fled to Cixing with only a few hundred soldiers.

This battle situation was reported to the capital, and the official's imperial guards stopped him: "It's like this if you are unfaithful and unfilial!"

Hu Yangeng's troops left Nanguan and marched towards Jingxing. Bulu Guleping was the vanguard. Suddenly, the school in front came to report: "A few spies were captured on the road."

Bu Lu Gu Leping rushed forward, but found that it was several people dressed in the costumes of a fifth-rank military officer of the Song Dynasty.

"Where did you come from the detailed work?"

"I am not a detailed work, but Wu Ge, the clan of Xuanzan, the cabinet."

"Oh, is there a seal?" Bu Lu Gu Leping did not dare to neglect when he heard this. He had heard of Wu Ge. Wu Ge was a general of the Western Army. In January of the first year of Jingkang, when the Jin soldiers headed south for the first time, Wu Ge served as the commander and led the children of Guanzhong to serve the king. In February, the Jin people went north, but some forces still surrounded Liaozhou. Wu Ge led his troops to lift the siege of Liaozhou. This was one of the rare victories of the Song army in the Jingkang year, so Hu Yangeng and others had heard of Wu Ge.

Wu Ge took out the seal and handed over to Bu Lu Gu Leping to check it out. Bu Lu Gu Leping did not dare to delay and sent Wu Ge and his entourage to Hu Yangeng.

Hu Yangeng asked, "Where does the Pavilion Gate come from? Why is it not in Liaozhou?"

"I am a rare man in the Jurchen army."

"How to make a living in the court?" Hu Yangeng, a time traveler, was not clear about the detailed process of the Jin soldiers destroying the Northern Song Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Song Ting sent an envoy to the Jin soldiers.

"When I set out, Taiyuan was not lost, so the court was willing to give more annual monies and beg for Jin soldiers to return to the north." It turned out that the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor were still thinking about using annual monies to solve the problem.

"Nianhan has taken Taiyuan, and I think he is unwilling to withdraw his troops."

"The general said it very well. The Jin Kingdom is a tiger and wolf. How can you be tired of cutting flesh and feeding tigers?" Wu Ge later said this to the present, saying that the Jin Kingdom was a tiger and wolf. The Song Dynasty cut his own flesh to feed tiger and wolf. How can the tiger and wolf be satisfied? He suggested that the officials deal with border preparations, and the officials sent Wu Ge back to Shaanxi to recruit volunteers. This will happen a month later.

Hu Yangeng asked about the situation of the Nianhan army again, which solved his doubts. Why did Nianhan not attack the Weisheng Army? Wu Ge said that he "reproached him to greed for profit and defeat, and his spirit and words were straightforward. The captains were ashamed and condemned. In order to recover the troops and horses in the attack Weisheng Army and other places, he gave him a letter to return." He immediately scolded Nianhan in court. Nianhan looked ashamed and recalled the troops and horses that attacked the Weisheng Army, and wrote a reply letter for Wu Ge to take them back.

"When the cabinet returned to the capital, he became a letter to the court. If he had prepared a long time ago, the Jin people would not give up. The court should not plan to negotiate peace."

"The general said it very well. But the court still wanted to discuss peace. He had asked Mr. Li to go to Yuci to meet Nianhan, and Mr. Wang went to Zhending to meet Olibu." Mr. Li pointed to Li Ruoshui, and Mr. Wang pointed to Wang Yun. Wulibu was the marshal Wanyan Zongwang of the Jin army.

"When will he and the other two arrive?"

"I received the imperial court documents. Mr. Li left the capital on August 20th. He calculated the schedule and arrived at the Nianhan Army in mid-September."

After saying goodbye to Wu Ge, Hu Yangeng made up his plan. Wanyan Nianhan surrounded the Pingding Army on the west side of Jingxing, while Wanyan Wuli seemed to have occupied Zhending on the east side of Jingxing. The Jin soldiers from the east and west routes could already support each other through Jingxing.
