The next day, new news came that Zhao Kai, who was the emperor in Jianning Mansion, moved his temporary capital from Jianning Mansion to Fuzhou. Moreover, Tianji Palace announced to the world that it supported Zhao Kai's side, Zong Tianxuan was trying to go out of the Fuzhou Imperial Court, and at the same time, Tianji Palace also sent Liu Bofang, Xie Qingfeng and Song Yi down the mountain to assist Zhao Kai. In addition, Liu Bao, who was defeated in Yongfeng, also led the remnants of the army to surrender to Zhao Kai.

It turned out that after the defeat of Yongfeng, Liu Bao led thousands of remnants of the army to flee back to Pucheng and has been closed. Fortunately, Pucheng was remote, and the Jin army only cared about attacking Xinzhou at that time, and did not come to take Pucheng. At first, Liu Bao thought that the current Sichuan rebellion had dragged Yang Yan down, and it would not be able to be quelled without three or five months. Wanyan Changzhi's army is invincible, and Bi Zaiyu will definitely not be able to hold Shinshu. This time, the Great Song Dynasty may not be able to support it, so Liu Bao plans to lead the army to surrender to the Jin army after the Jin army captures Xinzhou.

But Liu Bao didn't expect that although the Song army was defeated, it was not defeated and fled, and Bi was killed to defend Xinzhou, and the Jin army couldn't attack it for a long time. Moreover, Yang Yan was able to quickly quell the rebellion in Sichuan and return to Jiangnan. And recovered Huaixi in one fell swoop, and even after Yan Changzhi had to withdraw the army attacking Xinzhou, he returned to Lin'an. At this moment, the situation suddenly changed greatly, and it seems that the Jin army is not a sure victory, and the Great Song Dynasty is really likely to defeat the Jin army. Therefore, Liu Bao hesitated again, not knowing whether to surrender to the Jin army.

However, Liu Bao also knew that Bi Zaiyu held Xinzhou, so his Yongfeng defeat this time would be a flight without a fight, so this time the court would not forgive himself no matter what, and now he only has three or four thousand remnants of the defeated army, and he has no capital to bargain with the court, so he returned to Tianlin Mansion The court is not out of Luo, and he must find another way.

At this time, Zong Tianxuan, on behalf of Zhao Kailai, persuaded Liu Bao to surrender and promised him the official position of privy deputy envoy of the Fuzhou court and pacification envoy of the two Zhejiang. This went right into Liu Bao's arms. Because he can see from the scriptures that although Zhao Kai's strength is weak, now both Song and Jin sides do not take him seriously, but make Zhao Kai a temporary safe haven, so that he can temporarily live in Fuzhou and wait and see the changes in the current situation. Therefore, he readily agreed to surrender Zhao Kai and dedicated Pucheng to Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai originally owned five counties, including Jianning Mansion, Shao Wujun, Fuzhou, Jiannan Prefecture, and Xinghua Army, and the number of people and horses also expanded to 60,000 or 70,000 horses, and he also first settled in the scale. Now taking advantage of the Tianlinfu court to fight with the Jin army, he took care of him flawlessly, and seized a part of Tingzhou and Zhangzhou, and dispatched troops, which has the meaning of taking the entire Fujian in one fell swoop.

After Zhao Chen received the report, he immediately summoned the ruling ministers to discuss countermeasures together. After all the ministers discussed, they all agreed that although Tianji Palace officially announced its support for Zhao Kai now, after all, Zhao Kai was not yet in the climate, and there was nothing to be afraid of. Therefore, the current primary enemy of the imperial court is still the Jin army, and there is no need to ignore Zhao Kai.

However, Zhao Kai can't be allowed to surrender his generals so easily, encroach on his own land and not fight back. After the discussion of the ministers, Zhao Chen ordered Zhao Ruyu to make the Guangnan East Road system, and each increased his troops by 5,000 in Tingzhou, Zhangzhou, and Quanzhou, in order to prevent Zhao Kai from attacking again. At the same time, he also ordered the troops and officials stationed in various localities, and the envoys of Fuzhou to visit, not to meet them privately, but to drive them away. Then he asked Chen Liang to write an article, accusing Zhao Kai of not attacking the Jin army, but specifically attacking his own people, etc.

Of course, at this time, there was also good news from Sichuan, and the 100,000 Sichuan army was ready to assemble and leave Sichuan in batches. The first batch of 30,000 horses and horses were divided into two routes: the fleet of boats by waterway went eastward from the Yangtze River to Jiangling Mansion through the Three Gorges, and the men and horses on the dry road went out of Sichuan from Jinzhou to Xiangyang Mansion via Xiangyang. And with the army came 150,000 stone of food and a large amount of military supplies.

Moreover, during this period, the provisional imperial court re-recruited and reorganized 780,000 Song troops in Tianlin Mansion, Jingjiang Mansion, Guangzhou and other places, and was stepping up training in various places. At present, the total number of Song troops on the north and south fronts of the Yangtze River is about 350,000, and if the new army and the Sichuan army are added, the total number of Song troops will exceed 500,000.

When the Jin army invaded the south, it used more than 500,000 men and horses, but after a series of fierce battles, although it was partially supplemented, the total strength of the southern invasion is now about 400,000 to 450,000, and the distribution of troops is: about 220,000 horses on the Liangzhejiang Road south of the Yangtze River, about 100,000 horses on the Huainan East Road north of the Yangtze River, about 670,000 horses in the Nanyang area, and about 50,000 horses stationed in Nanjing as a reserve force. This means that the total strength of the Song army surpassed that of the Jin army. The time has come to launch a full-scale counteroffensive against the Jin army.

It's just that now in addition to Sichuan, only two lakes and two wide places can collect taxes, and Huaixi has just been recovered, and it can't collect taxes on horses, and the taxes of these roads alone are not enough to support the money, food, and materials of hundreds of thousands of troops to fight. Moreover, if the imperial court further increases taxes, it is easy to provoke popular revolt.

What's more, taxes can increase income, but grain can only wait to grow slowly in the ground, the Song army in Jiangnan has the support of merchants from Liangguang, and has purchased a large amount of grain from overseas, so it can still be supported, but in Jiangbei, it is obvious that the supply is unsustainable. After the Song army recovered Huaixi, the reason why it did not continue to advance into Huaidong was because the Jin army was tightly guarded, and on the other hand, because the supply of money, food and materials was not enough, so it had to stop the attack.

Therefore, even when the war in Jiangnan and Jiangbei was very tight, Yang Yan still decided to go to Sichuan to quell the rebellion in person, and it was precisely because Rugao did not have the material supply from Sichuan that the Great Song Dynasty could not win at all. Now the first batch of materials in Sichuan has finally arrived, which just solves the current urgent need.

The plan for the march of the Great Song Dynasty had already been formulated by the scriptures, so after learning that the Sichuan army had sent troops to the scriptures. Yang Yizhong immediately issued an order to the Song army in the name of the Governor's Office, and in Jiangbei, Li Xianzhong's troops increased to 160,000 horses and made every effort to recover the Huainan East Road. In Jiangnan, Yang Yanbu increased his troops to 130,000 and attacked Liangzhejiang to contain the Jin army in Jiangnan and prevent them from supporting Jiangbei. These two groups of men and horses will be the main force of the Song army to counterattack the Jin army.

Li Baobu along the Yangtze River increased his troops to 70,000, and more than 700 warships, which were controlled by Li Xianzhong. He took full control of the Yangtze River, echoed with Li Xianzhong and Yang Yanbu, and assisted Li Xianzhong in recovering Huaidong.

Chen Minbu of Xiangyang Prefecture, with 50,000 people, was controlled by Li Xianzhong. Hold the line of Xiangyang Mansion, Suizhou, and Xinyang, protect the flank of Li Xianzhong's troops, and contain the forces of Nanyang of the Jin State.

Li Gongzuo in Guangzhou, 60,000 men and horses, more than 550 warships, controlled by Yang Yan. He will send troops from Guangzhou to attack the Jin fleet from the sea, and look for opportunities to land in the coastal areas of Liangzhejiang, cooperate with Yang Yan's troops, and attack the Jin army in Liangzhejiang from east to west, looking for an opportunity to recover Lin'an.

The rest of the men and horses temporarily remained in the Tianlin Mansion as a reserve force, and were fully controlled by the Tianlin Mansion Governor's Office. Jiangbei's logistics were supplied by materials from Sichuan, while Jiangnan's was supplied by Liangguang.

The overall plan of the Song army was to contain the stronger Jiangnan Jin army with fewer troops, and first concentrate superior forces to eliminate the weaker Jiangbei Jin army and recover Huaidong. The naval army controlled the Yangtze River and the coastal two waterways, so that the Jiangnan Jin army could not withdraw to Jiangbei. After the overall situation in Jiangbei has been decided, then concentrate forces to eliminate the Jin soldiers in Jiangnan. In the end, the Song army could also take advantage of the victory to pursue and regain the land south of the Yellow River in one fell swoop. And if this whole plan can be successfully implemented, the Jin Kingdom will definitely be greatly damaged, and the elite soldiers will be completely lost, and it will not be able to recover without 20 years. It will give the Great Song enough time to recover its national strength and accumulate strength.

However, in this whole plan, Yang Yan was undoubtedly facing the greatest pressure among the Song armies, because in the early stage of the march, he had to face the Jin army, which was almost twice as large as his own. And if the commander of the Jin Army is not surprised, he will definitely be perfect. This will also be another confrontation between the two since the fourth year of Song Qiandao and the eighth year of Jin Dading in 116 years after the battle on the coast of Dengzhou. However, this time, both sides have become indispensable pillars of the Song and Jin dynasties, and the men and horses they commanded have far exceeded once.

In this regard, Zhao Chen, as well as Chen Junqing, Han Yanzhi and other ministers all advocated that Yang Yan be transferred tens of thousands of horses and horses to increase Yang Yan's troops, but Yang Yan knew that the Song army only had so many troops now, and if he increased his own troops, it would mean that the men and horses of other roads would be reduced, and the chances of winning would be reduced. Therefore, these suggestions were politely rejected by Yang Yan.

At this time, the three wonders of the rivers and lakes, Shui Yue, Shui Jing and others also gathered in Tianlin Mansion, and the army was dispatched, and the defense of Tianlin Mansion would be greatly empty, so Yang Yan invited Shui Yue and Shui Jing to sit in the palace, and left Hong Shuer and other five sisters to protect the safety of Zhao Chen and Empress Dowager Zhou, and left Wan Xiansheng, Gu Zhengyang and Yi Xiu in their own mansion to assist Yang Yizhong and protect the safety of Tianlin Mansion City. Tie Chenglin and Gu Xueping also remained in Tianlin Mansion, but served as Zhao Chen's guards. Do not go with Yang Yan.

However, this time, all the generals of the Jingyan army went to battle with Zhao Yueru, and all female generals such as Han Zhaojing and Zhang Wenzhu also went out with the army.

After Guangyan came to Tianlin Mansion, Yang Yan asked him to go to Longxing Mansion to assist Zhou Xin and pay him the responsibility for spying on the intelligence work of the Jin Army's military intelligence. And began to set up an intelligence network to infiltrate the country. Because of the war between the two countries, it is not only the battlefield that determines the outcome of the battle, but also the espionage work is also very important, not only to repel the Jin army this time, but also to prepare for the future recovery of lost territory.

After everything was taken care of, and on the second day after the Governor's Mansion issued the order to go to war, Yang Yan said goodbye to Yang Yizhong and the three wives in the family, and rushed to Xinzhou with Zhao Yueru.

Eight months after the Jin army's southern expedition, the Great Song Dynasty finally began a full-scale counterattack.
