Wan Yan Yong also knows the art of war, knowing that winning or losing a war is not a matter of gaining or losing in one city or one place, and Wan Yan Changzhi's plan is the most feasible at present, so he immediately agreed, just assigning men and horses to guard the surrounding areas of Lin'an such as Tonglu, Fenshui, and Ningguofu, and did not care about the loss of other places. Moreover, at this time, Wang Shiyong and Li Yao also sent a letter back, saying that the Song Dynasty had agreed to negotiate peace, and Wan Yan Yong also wanted to meet the envoys of the Song Dynasty.

However, Yang Yan also knew in his heart that not to look at the Song army's current winning streak, in fact, there was a lot of water in it. However, after recovering several state capitals and large areas of land, the goal of sending troops this time was also achieved, so he ordered all armies to strictly guard the garrison and not to march easily.

Although the Jin army did not have a decent resistance, the Song army from all walks of life also captured more than 1,000 prisoners, Yang Yan picked out more than 200 Jurchen captives, ordered their ears and noses to be cut off, and then tattooed the words "barbarian prisoners" on their faces, and stripped them all naked, and put them naked ** back to Lin'an. At the same time, they also asked them to bring a letter to Wan Yan Yong, the emperor of the Jin State,

This time, Zhao Qianru stayed in Longxing Mansion to prepare supplies, and Zhao Chen went to battle with Yang Yan. Seeing Yang Yan's behavior, Zhao Chen was a little puzzled, and said: "Brother-in-law, these captives are either beheaded to intimidate the Jin people, or they are all released, to show the benevolence of our army, and the enemy has no heart to fight to the death, but you cut off all their ears and noses and put them back, what is this going to do?" And now stop the men and horses in Yanzhou, and no longer attack forward, why is this? ”

Yang Yan smiled slightly, and said: "Xiao Chen, don't look at the fact that we are now taking several states in a row, in fact, the Jin people deliberately gave up, in fact, the Jin people want to lure us away from Longxing Mansion and go to attack Lin'an, they can just hide in the city and wait for a decisive battle with us." If we continue to advance, we will fall into the tricks of the Jin, so I stopped here and stopped attacking. ”

When Zhao Chen heard this, he suddenly realized, and said: "That's why my brother-in-law treated the captives like this, just to provoke the Jin people and go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with us." ”

Yang Yan nodded, his brother-in-law is also smart, and he can understand it at one point, and said: "If the Jin army goes out of Lin'an, then they will attack the city, and we will defend the city. ”

Zhao Chen smiled: "This is a good way, but my brother-in-law is also a little too damaging with one move." And it doesn't seem like it's good to treat the captives like this? ”

Yang Yan also smiled: "Soldiers, treacherous, do everything, what are you afraid of if you lose a little, and the Jin people invaded the south, robbed me of half of the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention, and killed how many Han people we were, what's wrong with me doing this." ”

In fact, Yang Yan did this not only to provoke the Jin army to fight, but also to provoke the Jin people, so that they would anger the envoys who negotiated peace with the Great Song Dynasty, and it was best to kill the envoys and never stop the Great Song Dynasty's road to peace. It's just that this layer of ideas is inconvenient to explain to Zhao Chen.

In addition, according to Yang Yan's original plan, it was not to fight the Jin army in Yanzhou. But as soon as the Jin army sent troops, he would immediately retreat, and he could give up all the places he had gained, and retreat all the way to Longxing Mansion, so as to attract the main force of the Jin army away from Lin'an, and then order the naval army of Guangdong to attack Lin'an directly from the sea. But Yang Yan knew that he was sending troops against the orders of the imperial court this time, so the place he occupied should not be easily abandoned, otherwise it would be easy to give people the truth, and now he could only fight a decisive battle with the Jin people in Yanzhou.

And at this moment, Zhao Yueru also went to Longxing Mansion in person.

******************************

It turned out that after Zhang Yan returned to Tianlin Mansion empty-handed, Zhao Dian was naturally very dissatisfied, and Long Dayuan, Shi Hao, Zeng Mo and other cadres took the opportunity to fan the flames on the side, saying that Yang Yan was embezzling the country's money and grain without permission, and did not respect the imperial edict, and must have bad intentions, so he strongly persuaded Zhao Yan to remove Yang Yan from his official position.

But Chen Junqing, Han Yanzhi, Liu Hui and others were originally angry about Zhao Dian not passing the Chinese book, so he directly sent Wang Zhiwang and Lin Su to Lin'an to negotiate peace with the Jin State, and regarded Long Dayuan, Shi Hao, Zeng Mao and other cadres as treacherous, Chen Junqing even asked in front of the emperor with the qualifications of an old minister of the three dynasties: "Such a big matter, Your Majesty does not go through the Chinese book, what is the use of asking Your Majesty to wait for our ministers?" Zhao Dian was speechless when he heard it.

Of course, in the eyes of Chen Junqing and others, the emperor himself is naturally sage, but he was bewitched by Long Dayuan, Shi Hao, Zeng Mo and other people, so when they proposed to remove Yang Yan from his official position, they all tried their best to exonerate Yang Yan and oppose the removal of Yang Yan.

Now Yang Yan Yijing is a local magistrate who is both in the world, and his official position is not low, and it is not the emperor who wants to remove Yang Yan as long as the emperor says, and he must agree to Zhongshu Province, and he can't send Wang Zhiwang and Lin Su to Lin'an to negotiate peace with Jin Guo last time, the emperor just issued a direct decree, and Zhao Dian also knew that the reason for the removal of Yang Yan was too much to say, so in the face of the tough attitude of Chen Junqing, Han Yanzhi, Liu Heng and others, Zhao Yan was helpless, and the matter of removing Yang Yan had to be temporarily stopped.

But Zhao Dian returned to the back hall, but he asked Zhao Yueru to complain about his suffering, and in his words, he seemed very dissatisfied with Yang Yan, thinking that Yang Yan did have two hearts. Zhao Yueru was originally very angry that Zhao Dian had sent Wang Zhiwang and Lin Su to Lin'an to negotiate peace with Jin Guo without discussing with him, but after listening to Zhao Dan's account, she felt that Yang Yan's approach was a little inappropriate, and remembered Zhao Yan's entrustment, and finally decided to go to Longxing Mansion in person to ask Yang Yan what was going on.

At this time, five disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect found Tanzhou and asked to see Zhao Yueru. Zhao Yueru took them in and asked them, only to know that Master Shui Jing and Uncle Shui Yue knew that the current situation was in crisis, and Zhao Yueru would definitely lead the army to fight, and she was afraid that she would lack helpers around her, so she played these five disciples to Zhao Yueru's side, first, they could help Zhao Yueru, and secondly, they would also let these disciples experience it.

Among the five disciples, the leader is called Hong Shu'er, who met Zhao Yueru during the expedition, and his martial arts are also good, and he can be regarded as a master in the rivers and lakes, and the other four are named Shen Ruolan, Bai Xinru, Ji Ying, and Zhou Lingyun. Zhao Yueru was very happy to see that she was the junior sister of the same family, and she was grateful to the master and uncle for their kindness, and this time she brought all five of them.

After coming to Longxing Mansion, when I entered the city, I saw that the streets were full of people cheering, and the people were excited, as if they were as lively as the New Year. After inquiring, I found out that the news of the victory of the Song army had reached Longxing Mansion. It turned out that although Yang Yan knew that the captured state cities were actually deliberately abandoned by the Jin army, out of the need to boost the morale of the people and the need to oppose peace, he exaggerated these results and sent them back to Longxing Mansion. Sure enough, the people were very happy, because this was the first time that the Song army counterattacked and won since the Jin army's southern invasion, and many people cheered Yang Yan's name loudly on the street, and some people even put incense cases outside to worship the north.
