Chapter Thirty-Sixth

Wanyan Guying died in Laoyeling, and the Song army took his body and sent it to the city of Changye. The Jin soldiers in the city knew that the reinforcements were wiped out and their morale was greatly depressed. The Song army recovered the entire territory of Longde Prefecture in a battle. Wanyan Yinshuke took advantage of the chaos and fled back to Taiyuan, and was in panic all day long.

Just when the Battle of Lund was going on, there was also a big battle in Handan. The Song army cut off Wanyan Talan's troops and isolated them with a car formation and defeated them one by one. Most of Wanyan Talan fled back to Baoding in a panic, and a small number of the troops fled to Daming.

After two battles between Longde and Handan, the Jin soldiers besieged in Bianliang had been cut off from support from Hebei and Hedong. Although the Jin soldiers still surrounded Bianliang City, the offensive and defensive momentum was easy.

"The offensive and defensive momentum is easy." Wanyan Talan stared at Liu Yu in front of him and scolded: "You want to send Duke Hunde to Bianliang, what's your intention?"

"It is the intention to cause Song Zi to be in chaos." Liu Yu smiled, "Hunde Gong is the authentic Emperor of the Song Dynasty, the grandfather of the three-foot boy in Bianliang City. When he returned to Bianliang, how could he deal with the three-foot boy? Once Hunde Gong returns, Bianliang will definitely be in chaos."

Wanyan Talai smiled and said, "Don't let me slander me. When Duke Chonghun became emperor, Duke Hunde was like being under house arrest, so why would he talk about chaos? Let's discuss this matter again."

Liu Yu's eyes rolled: "King, if you send me out, Hundegong will speak slowly. You should make peace with Bianliang at this moment."

"Oh. Why?"

"This is Hu Yanzan's plan to collect Hebei."

There is a passage in "Hu Family Generals" that says that after the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty, four vassal states in Hebei were not subject to the control of the Song court. Zhao Guangyi was going to fight. Hu Yanzan offered a suggestion: "The powers of the four vassal states are combined, and each party is established. If they are urgent, they will rescue each other. If they are slow, they will fight each other. It is better to appease first, then reward one person and derogate them three times, and then cause chaos."

Liu Yu used the comments to tell Wanyan Talan: "Duke Hunde, Chonghunhou, Three-foot boy from Bianliang, and Cartilage Boy in Jiangnan are similar to the four feudal families. Duke Hunde and Chonghunhou are all emperors of the Song Dynasty, how can they live under the younger generation? They each have loyal subordinates. It won't take long before we can see the Song people killing each other."

Wanyan Talan pondered for a long time: "When I discuss with you all, I must take the third and fourth masters back for the moment."

Wanyan Wushu under the city of Bianliang and Wanyan Eliduo from Shandong can be considered lonely in the Song Dynasty. Time passed day by day, the weather was getting colder and colder, and Bianliang had no size to move forward. Smoke was everywhere in Shandong, and even a grain of food could not be collected. These two brothers could no longer hold on.

After the war in Longde and Handan ended, the Song army led two routes to Yanzhou and Linfu to monitor Taiyuan northward, while the three towns of Tianxiong, Chengde and Weibo crossed the Yellow River in Mengzhou and Anyang respectively. In mid-December, the three towns of troops appeared under Yingchang City outside Bianliang.

It was not that Wanyan Wushu didn't know the news that the troops in the three towns crossed the river, nor that he did not expect to divide his troops to set up an ambush. He also summoned the generals and set up an ambush, but no one asked for a fight.

After half a year of siege, the teacher was useless and the generals were tired. Originally, he wanted to fight to decide the Southern Barbarians, but now he has not even found the walls of the Bianliang city wall. The lack of food and grass and the lack of clothes to protect the cold, all of which indicates that the siege can no longer be surrounded.

Wanyan Wushu looked at the silent generals and sighed, "Each division is careful to care. In one day or two, he will return to Luoyang."

Everyone cheered, and the atmosphere in the tent finally relaxed.

Wanyan Wushu made a decision and the army left as soon as possible. In three days, there were no more soldiers and soldiers left under the city of Bianliang, and the Jin soldiers of Yingchang and Chenzhou also gave up one after another.

As the saying goes, don’t stop the troops. Tianxiong and other three towns did not intercept the Jin soldiers, but instead monitored them along the way until the Jin soldiers retreated to Hulao Pass.

The Bianliang encirclement was lifted, and the Privy Council dispatched troops and generals to let reinforcements lead them into the capital to meet the saint.

While working hard, a fast horse sent a letter from Shandong to Bianliang.

Wanyan Eliduo had withdrawn his main force from Shandong, but before he left, he left more than 10,000 troops in Jinan to guard it. Some counties around Jinan were far away, so he gave up; some were close, but he also left some troops to take charge, so as to keep Jinan's wings and wings. This would prevent Jinan from becoming an isolated city.

On the Shandong Peninsula, due to the terrain, there are not many passes, so Jinan can be regarded as one. It is Mount Tai and Bohai to the north. It is bounded by rivers and Huai Rivers and Huai Rivers. It is a heavy place. After passing Jinan, it goes east to Bianliang, with a flat land of more than 200 miles, with a flat land of almost no danger to defend. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes fought for Qi, and most of them were in the Lixia. In the Lixia, that is, Jinan. If there are many things in the Lixia, the Qi territory will be in danger. Lixia is like the gateway of Qi. Now Wanyan Eliduo occupys Jinan, which is equivalent to the gateway of Shandong.

It would be fine if Jinan only had an isolated city. According to military reports, Wanyan Eliduo divided his troops to station in the counties around Jinan, and thought that Jinan's left and right wings were the wings.

In Gaotang Prefecture, Dongchang, Dongping, Jining, and Jining, which were south of Jinan, all of them were occupied by Wanyan Eliduo after the Jin army entered Shandong.

In this way, you can connect to Bianliang when you go to Jining, and you can connect to Daming when you go to the higher Tang Dynasty. Daming can be regarded as the foundation of the Jin soldiers in Hebei. Jinan has heavy troops to deploy defense. Once the Song army attacks Jinan, Jin soldiers and reinforcements can arrive at any time.

The north-south vertical line from Jinan to Jining is a big trouble for Bianliang and Shandong.

Not only that. Jining and Dongping all the roads, now in Wanyan Eliduo's hands, Bianliang is still under the threat of the Jin soldiers. Luoyang is in the hands of Wanyan Wushu, and the famous Jin soldiers are like Mount Tai in Hebei, and Bianliang is still surrounded by the three sides of the Jin soldiers.

Zhang Shuye was worried and discussed with Hu Yangeng, but Hu Yangeng said, "It's not a problem. The Jin thieves surrounded Bianliang, but they had not made any achievements. They lost their troops and generals, and they were consuming money and food. The captives would definitely never dare to attack Bianliang again. Our army was invincible."

At this time, Zhang Shuye's family came to report that Liu Li of Kaifeng Prefecture was visiting.

"Come on your behalf."

Liu Feng came in and saw Hu Yangeng, and said, "Supervisor Jie is here, so we are just going to discuss it together."

But it is for all kinds of post-war affairs. Kaifeng Prefecture dissolved the people and strengthened the people, and paid back the casualties and recruited refugees. Many of the walls of Bianliang were destroyed and needed to be repaired in time. Many of the residents in the city died in the war and needed to be given early pensions. Many of the farmland outside the city were also destroyed, and many of the people in the countryside were displaced. How should we arrange it? The battle lasted for two months, and the war finally ended. Seeing that the Spring Festival was approaching, do we still need to arrange a grand celebration? Many complicated things.

Hu Yangeng said: "Gong-gong Liu let go of this matter. If you want manpower, you can also ask Long Jiejun for support."

After talking about civil affairs in a few words, Hu Yangeng said, "It's New Year again. Let the soldiers rest for these ten days. The war in Hebei, Shandong, and Hedong will be decided until the New Year is over."

When he said goodbye to Zhang Shuye, he rode his horse back to the palace and went straight to the palace gate to Jinhua Palace. He thought that there was only Zhu Fenglian, but he didn't expect that Zhu Fengying and Maode were also there.
