Because from the beginning of learning that the Jin army was about to invade the south, the tactical plan formulated by the Great Song Dynasty was to defend and counterattack, first based on defense, and then launch a counterattack after the Jin army's vigor was exhausted. There is nothing wrong with this plan itself, but because the opponent he faced this time is a good face and his responsibility is heavy, Yang Yan is not careful, and he must consider everything when formulating any tactical plan, and he does not dare to take risks easily.

And after Yang Yan got Zhao Yueru's reminder, he realized that in the previous battle, he had always been too cautious and cautious, and he had considered Yan Changzhi's thoughts first everywhere, but as a result, he suffered from gains and losses, and was led by Jin Jun instead. In fact, the combat effectiveness of the Song army itself was not weaker than that of the Jin army, and this time the mobilized troops were more than the Jin army, and they were fighting on a battlefield that they were familiar with, so they could take the initiative to attack, replace defense with offense, and seize the initiative on the battlefield.

After figuring this out, Yang Yan's mind immediately became active, now in the Jianghuai line, the Xuyi army and Luzhou are very tightly guarded, and they are each other's horns, even if the Jin army attacks, it is absolutely no problem to defend for more than ten days. And Yang Yan's troops in Anfeng Army have more than 80,000 people, and the troops are strong, even against Yan Changzhi's 100,000 army, so Yang Huo decided to take the initiative to attack Shouzhou first.

After taking Shouzhou, the Song army to the west can threaten the flank of Suzhou, and to the north is the gateway of Kaifeng Prefecture, so Wanyan Changzhi will inevitably return to Suzhou to contain Yang Yan's Song army, and then Gao Zhen and Qi Fang will join forces to capture Haozhou, and the battle situation on the entire Jianghuai front line can be reversed immediately, and at the same time, the Song army can also take the initiative in its own hands.

After thinking about the next strategy, Yang Yan sent people to urge the Song army's follow-up baggage and elephant army to quickly rush to Anfengjun. On the one hand, he sent people to inquire about the movements of the Jin army. Prepare for an imminent attack.

Three days later, the Song army's baggage and elephant army both arrived at the Anfeng army, but the Jin army did not move, and Yang Yan couldn't help but hesitate again.

This is not to say that Yang Yan is suffering from gains and losses again, but that Jin Jun's performance is really abnormal. As soon as the Anfeng army was lost, Haozhou was surrounded by the Song army on three sides, and its strategic value was also greatly dismantled. In this case, no one will remain indifferent, let alone a long time.

Yang Yan once put himself in the shoes of Wanyan Changzhi and made several assumptions, thinking that his greatest possibility now should be to take the initiative to attack the Xuyi army, avoiding the real and the virtual, followed by recapturing the Anfeng army and fighting a decisive battle with himself. But he will definitely not stand still and let himself march. Wanyan Changzhi is by no means this kind of self-willed and passive person, there must be an article in it. In fact, not only Yang Yan, but also Zhao Yueru, Liu Fuwu, Qi Dazhu, Wu Xi, Wei Jiao and others also felt that Jin Jun's performance was indeed unreasonable.

Just when the generals were at a loss, a spy came to report that they had found that a large group of men and horses of the Jin army were moving westward, and they were now passing through the border area of Maozhou and Chenzhou.

Yang Yan frowned and immediately went to look at the map. In fact, he didn't need to look at the map, he also knew that Maozhou and Chenzhou were there, southwest and south of Kaifeng Prefecture, but what was the purpose of the Jin army's brigade moving there?

Zhao Yueru was also a little puzzled by this, and said, "Could it be that Jin Bing is afraid that we will attack Kaifeng Mansion?" That's why the men and horses were transferred to the garrison of Maozhou and Chenzhou? ”

Liu Fuwu shook his head and said, "If you are afraid that we will attack Kaifeng Mansion, then you should hold Shouzhou and Yingzhou, and Haozhou and Chenzhou will inevitably retreat a little too far." ”

Yang Yan's heart moved, and he suddenly understood, and immediately said, "It's not good, we have all been tricked." ”

Hearing him say this, all the generals were also startled, and they all looked at Yang Yan and listened to him explain further. At this moment, a messenger hurriedly walked into the lobby, knelt on the ground, and said: "Report to Fu Shuai, the big thing is not good, the Jin army has broken through Suizhou with scriptures and surrounded Xiangyang Mansion, please Fu Shuai quickly send troops back to help." ”

After Yang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "The goal of the Jin Army, in fact, has never changed, it is Xiangyang Mansion. ”

This time Yang Yan was not wrong, in fact, Wanyan Changzhi's goal has not changed at all, it has always been Xiangyang Mansion.

After learning that Yang Yan's men and horses were stationed in Ezhou, Wanyan Changzhi naturally knew that Yang Yan had seen through his goal of attacking Jianghuai and actually attacking Xiangyang, and he did this to prevent himself, no matter which side he moved, Yang Yan would immediately follow. Because no matter how secretive the march is, it is impossible to hide the movements of the 100,000 army from the spies of the Song army, so in this case, not to mention Xiangyang, even if he changes his goal and turns to attack Jianghuai, he will also not be able to avoid Yang Yan.

Therefore, Wan Yan Changzhi tried his best to finally come up with such a plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea.

First of all, he led the 100,000 troops in Nanjing, divided into two routes, and set off towards the Jianghuai battlefield, creating an impression of changing tactics and attacking Jianghuai. But when one of the men and horses came to Chenzhou, they immediately divided 30,000 horses, brought only three days' rations, gave up all their baggage, turned to the southwest in the evening, and walked out of seventy or eighty miles in one night, and entered the territory of Tangzhou. And from the other army, 15,000 men and horses were immediately dispatched to supplement it, so that on the whole, the number of soldiers and horses of the two Jin soldiers was not much, so they also deceived the spies of the Song army.

After Yang Yan received the news, he really believed that Jin Junyi changed his plan. He led a large army from Ezhou to the Jianghuai battlefield.

After Yan Changzhi learned about it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, this time he finally deceived Yang Yan, but it was really not easy. However, he remained silent, and still led the remaining 70,000 troops to Suzhou, and at the same time, Wanyan Changzhi also frequently appeared in Suzhou City, giving people the illusion that he was sitting in Suzhou City.

In fact, on the same night, Wanyan Changzhi led 10,000 cavalry troops, left Suzhou overnight, and marched westward. After two days and two nights of hurried travel, we rushed to Dengzhou. At this time, the Jin army gathered 120,000 troops in the first line of Dengzhou and Tangzhou, and at the same time there were three generals of Fusan Zhongyi, Shimo Yanshan and Pucha Dingzhu, and also transferred a large number of siege equipment, while the Song army in Xiangyang was less than 80,000 troops.

Therefore, when one of the Wanyan chiefs arrived in Dengzhou, he immediately issued an order to attack, led by Shi Mo Yanshan 30,000 horses, attacked the Guanghua army, and personally led 70,000 troops to attack Suizhou.

The Song army stationed in Suizhou was Liu Renxian, the imperial garrison of De'an Mansion, who led 15,000 men and horses from De'an Mansion to Suizhou to garrison and defend the flank of Xiangyang Mansion.

However, Suizhou was not the location of the imperial garrison, so the fortifications were inferior to those of Xiangyang and De'an. Moreover, the men and horses defending the city together with the local Xiang army were less than 20,000, and the Jin army not only had the advantage in numbers, but also had very complete siege equipment, so although the Song army resisted hard, the Jin army attacked for three days, and Suizhou City was also in danger.

Liu Renxian had no choice but to defend the city on the one hand, and on the other hand sent people to rescue Chen Min of the Jingmen Army, Chen Min naturally knew the importance of Suizhou, so he personally led 10,000 horses to rescue Suizhou. But Wanyan Changzhi had long expected that the Song army would have this move, and had already sent an army to set up an ambush in Suicheng Mountain in the south of Suizhou, and when Chen Min's reinforcements arrived, the ambush soldiers were killed, and Chen Min's men and horses were defeated, and nearly half of the troops were surrendered, so they had to retreat to Jingmen to garrison early.

And after Liu Renxian learned that the reinforcements were defeated, he also knew that Suizhou could not hold it, so he had to abandon the city and leave. However, he did not retreat to De'an Mansion, but retreated to the Jingmen Army, joined forces with Chen Min, and held the back of Xiangyang Mansion.

After Yan Changzhi captured Suizhou, he took advantage of the situation to march and capture Yingzhou, and at the same time, Shimo Yanshan also captured the Guanghua army, and Fusan Zhongyi and Pucha Dingzhu also led the army to Niushou Town and Cabinet Gate Pass respectively. Since then, the Jin army has completed the encirclement of Xiangyang Mansion on three sides, leaving only the Jingmen Army in the south or the Song army.

Wanyan Changzhi originally wanted to capture the Jingmen army again, so as to completely surround Xiangyang Mansion. However, Chen Min and Liu Ren first held on to the Jingmen army, and Yang Yan would lead the reinforcements to arrive, so they had to give up attacking the Jingmen army and return to attack Xiangyang Mansion with Fusan Zhongyi, Shimo Yanshan, and Pucha Dingzhu. At the same time, Wanyan Changzhi sent people to Suzhou and transferred the 60,000 horses left there to the western front to besiege Xiangyang Mansion together.

After understanding the whole process of the Jin army's attack on Xiangyang Mansion, all the generals looked at each other, but they didn't expect the situation on the front line of Xiangyang to become so bad all of a sudden.

Now it is natural to rush to the rescue of Xiangyang Mansion immediately. But now that the Jin army has completed the three-sided encirclement of Xiangyang Mansion with the scriptures, a small number of reinforcements will not be able to reach Xiangyang City at all. But if a large army is dispatched to Xiangyang Mansion, it will take at least ten days or so, but will Xiangyang be able to hold out until that time? Therefore, all the generals had no idea, so they all had to look at Yang Yan. Because at this time, Yang Yan is the only hope for the generals.

However, at this time, Yang Yan Yijing completely calmed down, and he naturally knew that the situation had developed to this point, and he had to pay the main responsibility, and it was his being too conservative in the beginning stage of the war that caused the current situation. However, in his heart, Yijing immediately came up with a plan that was enough to reverse the current situation, and although this plan was very risky, it had to be used now. Just the people who carry out this plan......

But the reality did not allow Yang Yan to think too much, so he first ordered, immediately Chen Min and Liu Renxian, and immediately led the army to support Xiangyang, even if he gave up Jingmen, he would not hesitate to give up Jingmen. Then he ordered Liu Fuwu to immediately gather people and prepare to rescue Xiangyang.

After all the generals dispersed, only Zhao Yueru was left in the lobby, and Yang Yan said solemnly to her: "Yueru, there is an important task that needs to be carried out by you. ”
