5. Attack Hainan 2

At this time, the front sent back the news of Cao Xun and Gao Zhen, the Song army had recovered Gaozhou and Huazhou, and Manichaeism was left with only Leizhou on the mainland.

Yang Yan immediately decided to order Cao Xun and Gao Zhen to continue to attack Leizhou by victory, and he would also rush to the front line in the near future, and hoped that before he reached the first line, they would also recover Leizhou and drive all the remnants of Manichaeism out of the mainland.

Then Yang Yan ordered that Li Gongzuo's fleet stationed near Hailing Island in Nanenzhou also be moored on Luzhou Island in the waters of Leizhou, waiting for his arrival in Leizhou to discuss the battle plan for attacking Hainan and completely quelling this huge Manichaean rebellion.

After listening to Yang Yan's arrangement, the subordinate personnel also arranged their own arrangements. And Yang Yan and Zhao Qianru together, and recruited Xin Qiji, Chen Liang, Liu Renxian, Qi Fang and others to discuss the arrangement of aiding Dali.

Zhang Shiyan led the Chinese army of Ma Junsi to enter Dali with Ganhua for more than ten days, and Zhou Xin also sent a group of spies to follow Zhang Shiyan into Dali to collect information and inquire about various news. And sent back a drawn map of Dali, Liu Renxian also took out a map, and the two maps were spread on the table and looked at each other.

According to the news sent back by the spies, at present, the combined forces of Jiaozhi and Gao Jianming are distributed in Weichu Mansion, Xiushan County, and Zining Mansion, forming a joint siege of Shanxian Mansion. Now the temporary capital of Dali is in Shicheng County, and the people and horses of Dali are centered on Shanxian Mansion and are stationed in Luobu, Aning Ministry, Buxiong Buxiong and Maitreya Ministry. This situation is basically in line with the situation provided by Liu Renxian.

After Zhang Shiyan's men arrived in Dali, they were stationed in Shanyan Mansion, and the men and horses of the Ma Jun Division of the Chinese Army led by him were only more than 5,000 people, but according to Yang Yan's instructions, they were known as 10,000 to the outside world, and also announced that the Song Army would then send an army of 100,000 to rescue Dali. Therefore, after the Song army arrived in Dali, the combined forces of Jiaozhi and Gao Jianming did not dare to attack for a while because they did not know the truth and reality. At present, the two sides are in a stalemate, with only a few small wars involving hundreds of people.

After learning that the Great Song Dynasty had decided to send troops to rescue Dali, the other neutral ministries also began to reconsider their next steps. Even some tribes who had expressed their obedience to the combined forces of Jiaozhi and Gao Jianming decided to wait and see for a while; Some tribes that were preparing to fall to the combined forces of Jiaozhi and Gao Jianming even dispelled their minds and sent people to contact Dali, and some tribes began to plan to take refuge in Dali's side at this time.

But now, after all, the army of the Song army has not yet arrived, and the situation is not yet clear, most of the tribes do not dare to act rashly, just verbally, only the two tribes of Mo and Wuman, who have always been dissatisfied with Jiaozhi and Gao Jianming, sent two teams of men and horses to take refuge in Dali's side.

After understanding the current situation in Dali, Yang Yan decided to take the Ma Army Division to select the Feng Army, the Infantry Army Division, the Left Army and the Right Army, and the Guangxi Army, the Central Army, the Hou Army, and the Youyi Army to rescue Dali. Together with the Ma Jun Si Zhong Army, which is now being sent to Dali, there are more than 32,000 men and horses, including about 5,000 cavalry.

At present, among the six armies, only the Right Army of the Infantry Division and the Youyi Army of the Guangxi Army are stationed in Jingjiang Mansion, the rear army of the Guangxi Army is stationed in Yongzhou, and the Left Army of the Infantry Division is stationed in Nanenzhou, and the rest are following Cao Xun and Gao Zhen to attack Manichaeism.

However, in the past two months or so, through the hard work of Xin Qiji, most of the prefectures and counties on Guangxi Road have been established by the provisional administrative organs, and only a few places such as Lianzhou, Yulinzhou, Gaozhou, and Huazhou, which have just been recovered, have been temporarily taken over by the army. The people who fled also went home to live in peace, Xin Qiji ordered people to distribute the abandoned cultivated land to the people, and transported a large amount of grain and seeds from the Guangdong Road to ensure that the people of Guangxi Road can spend the New Year safely, and they can start the spring ploughing of the new year in the spring of the next year. At present, the situation on Guangxi Road has been initially stabilized.

Xin Qiji handed over the list of personnel of the provisional administrative institutions in various places to Yang Yan, and the top magistrates such as the governor, the prefect, the army, and the county all need to be appointed by the imperial court.

Yang Yan remembered that when he left, although most of Guangxi Road had been recovered, it was still in a state of chaos, and he didn't expect that after less than three months, Xin Qiji basically restored Guangxi Road to normal. He is a good hand at fighting on his own, but he is not able to do enough in this kind of administration. Xin Qiji is a good hand in this area, and it seems that it was really right to bring him to Quang Nam in the first place. Immediately, he stamped his own seal on the book written by Xin Qiji, and sent someone back to Lin'an.

After dealing with these affairs, Yang Yan rested in Jingjiang Mansion for three days, and immediately rushed to Leizhou to command the battle. Zhao Qianru naturally had to follow, everyone knew that the two of them were newlyweds, so they were naturally reluctant to part for a moment, and Zhao Qianru had not been on the battlefield, so she did not stop her. Wan Xiansheng and Yi Xiu arrived at Jingjiang Mansion safely, and Yang Yan said goodbye, leaving Gu Zhengyang here and leaving.

At this time, Yue Ke and Yue Ying also came to Yang Yan and begged him to take him to Leizhou to see it. On the way to Guangxi, Yang Yan, Zhao Qianru and Jianghu Sanqi all remembered that they were Yue Fei's grandsons and took good care of them. Although the two of them are not very old, they have a strict family education, are very thoughtful in their manners, and their behavior is very decent, so they are also very likeable. And they are the same age as Gu Xueping and Tie Chenglin, they are all talking about whether they are big or not, and when they are not small, these days, the four of them get along like friends for many years.

Among Yue Fei's three sons, Yue Lin and Yue Zhen are both civil officials, and only Yue Ting is still a military attaché. However, Yue Lin also hoped that Yue Ke could abandon martial arts and become an official through the imperial examination in the future. As for Yue Ying being a woman, she just needs to learn a little bit of women's red embroidery, so she only let the two of them learn some poetry and articles, and did not let the two of them study in the Shangwu Academy.

However, perhaps because of their backgrounds, Yue Ke and Yue Ying have been interested in martial arts since they were children, and in addition to studying literature, they also learned some swords, guns, riding and archery skills from Yue Ting. After Yue Lin found out, he thought that the two of them could learn some martial arts to strengthen their bodies and protect their families when necessary, so he didn't stop them, but just told them not to delay the literary affairs. Therefore, the two brothers and sisters learned Wen Zhishe, and they also knew some sword and horse riding skills, but because they did not have the guidance of the Master, they were not very smart.
