1. Sent troops to Xuzhou

"My lord, the Russians can't stand it, so let's retreat." A thousand households are lifting seven catties of Meng'an on the side.

"Retreat? Is it really going to be defeated? "Just a moment ago, Meng'an Qijin was still full of confidence in this battle." Do you want to keep fighting, or do you just give up? Fight down? Do you win the fight? Retreat? Does it seem too timid? Just when Meng'an Qijin was hesitating, Song Jun rushed towards Jin Jun again.

In an instant, Meng'an's seven-pound Zhili turned countless thoughts. Finally, the warrior's reserve and self-esteem overwhelmed the thought of escaping. He bit down sharply, raised the big knife in his hand, and faced Yang Yan.

"Daikin warriors, rush with me!"

In front of Yang Yan's eyes, a golden general raised a big knife and rushed towards him.

"General Jin, suffer death."

With a loud bang, the two big knives collided together, and Meng An Qijin only felt a scorching energy spread all over his body along the meridians of his hands holding the big knife. With a sweet throat, a mouthful of blood spurted out. When the two horses were wrong, Meng An Qijin only felt a cold neck, only to see a headless knight leap behind him, run farther and farther, and then spin around.

"Who is that headless man, and why is he wearing the same armor and riding the same war horse as me." This was the last thought of Meng'an Qijin

The Jin soldiers only saw that their lord's head was slashed off by General Song's backhand and flew into the air, flipping and falling. The headless corpse still ran more than ten steps from the war horse, and also fell to the ground.

With a "whew", General Jin Guan Jin no longer had the courage to continue fighting, so he turned around and ran.

In this battle, the Song army won the battle, beheaded more than 2,500 people on the spot, and captured more than 600 Jin soldiers. And his own loss is no more than 300 people. Yang Yan took advantage of the victory and led the army into the town of Jugu.

The town is not large, with only about 500 households. After Yang Yan entered the station, he immediately ordered to camp outside the town, and those who disturbed the people's things were immediately beheaded. The soldiers of the Elective Front Army have been with him for a long time, and they know that although he is usually easy-going, but the military orders are the same, and no one dares to disobey. Yang Yan ordered someone to report to Li Xianzhong and wait for the next order.

On February 28, Sushi Lie Zhining reported that the Song general Yang Yan led his troops to capture the town of Jugu, Meng'an was killed in battle, and there were less than 2,000 cavalry left. And Song directed Yang Yan's men and horses to Baitu Town.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Song general Yu Gongliang led his army to capture Anmin Town and besiege Xiao County.

Su Shi Lie Zhining was shocked, Xiao County and Baitu Town were less than thirty miles away from Xuzhou City. It's just a soldier coming to the city. Immediately ordered: General Shulie led an army of 5,000 to garrison Baitu Town, Pu Suyue led an army of 10,000 to support Xiao County, and ordered to strengthen the defense of Xuzhou and Xiapi to prevent the Song army from attacking the city.

Yang Yan watched a person walk into his big tent. He is about thirty years old, with a face like a crown of jade, long eyebrows and oblique stalks, eyes and a slight beard under his chin. Although it is a military uniform, it does not cover the temperament of a plastic scroll. This person came to Yang Yan to meet him, and bowed his hand and said: "Yang Tong, under the Hebei Zhaofu Division, Xin Qiji, is under the order of Li Zhaofu, and sends an order to Yang Tong. ”

When Yang Yan heard that the person who came was Xin Qiji, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Xin Qijizi You'an, a native of Licheng, Shandong. In the thirty-first year of Shaoxing (1161), the gold lord died after Yan Liang, and the heroes of the Central Plains rose up. Geng Jing gathered troops in Shandong, called the balance of the Jiedu envoy, controlled the loyal and righteous military horses in Shandong and Hebei, and took Xin Qiji as the secretary, that is, persuaded Geng Jing to make decisions to the south. There are monks who are righteous, like to talk about soldiers, and also gather more than 1,000 people, Xin Qijian said that the righteousness is returned to Gengjing. Jiu Jiuyi stole Geng Jing's seal to escape, Geng Jing was furious and wanted to kill and abandon the disease. Abandon the disease and say: "On my third day, return to the righteous end, if you don't get it, it's not too late to die." "Yi Yirui will use Geng Jing's hypocrisy to sue Jin Shuai and chase him down. Yiduan said: "I know the truth of the king, but I am a young man, and I can kill people, but fortunately don't kill me." "Abandon the illness and ignore it, behead it and return to the report, Geng Jing will be stronger.

In the thirty-second year of Shaoxing (1162), Geng Jing ordered Xin to abandon the disease and return to the Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou laborer Jiankang, summoned, Jianazhi, awarded the secretary of Chenglang and Tianping Jiedu, and summoned Geng Jing with the seal of Jiedu.

But at that time, Geng Jing's generals Zhang Anguo and Shao Jin had killed Geng Jing and reduced his gold, and Xin Qijian returned to Haizhou, and conspired with the generals to say: "I came to return to the dynasty because of the boss, and I didn't expect an incident, how could I return to my life?" "It is about to rule Wang Shilong and the loyal and righteous people Ma Quanfu and others to go straight to the Jin camp, Zhang Anguo and Jin will drink, that is, the crowd is bound to return, and Jin will not be able to catch up. Offering prisoners to the city, beheading Zhang Anguo in the city. The former official was still awarded, and the Jiangyin judgment was changed. He was twenty-three years old when he gave up his illness.

In the third year of the main road (1167), the general sentence was Jiankang Mansion. Emperor Zhao Tuan summoned the Yanhe Palace. Xin Qi's illness is due to the situation between the north and the south and the talents of the Three Kingdoms, Jin and Han dynasties, and he is upright and upright, not to cater to him. He wrote three articles of "Nine Discussions" and "Should Ask", and "Ten Treatises on Mei Qin" dedicated to the court. At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, he was appointed as a senator of the Hebei Zhaofu Division and participated in the Northern Expedition.

Xin Qiji's bold and temperamental, many well-known people at home and abroad, famous for his lyrics, the style of words is tragic and fierce, and he is known as Su Shi.

Yang Yan didn't expect to meet this world-famous figure here, so he hurriedly got up and saluted back: "It turned out to be Mr. You'an, I, Yang Yan, have heard Mr. 's name for a long time, and I want to meet today." ”

Xin Lang laughed and said: "I have long heard that I have commanded Yongwu, and this gong can quickly defeat the Jin soldiers and capture the town of Jugu, which is really worthy of its reputation." Moreover, when I went down to the town just now, I saw that everything in the town was in order, and the residents were not disturbed, which showed that the army was well governed and the military discipline was strict. ”

Yang Yan also smiled and said: "Mr. has won the award, the town of Jugu was originally the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, and the residents are also the people of my Great Song Dynasty, so we are soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, how can we not treat it well." I don't know what instructions Li Zhaofu has. ”

Xin Qiji took out Li Xianzhong's order arrow, handed it to Yang Yandao, and said: "Li Zhaofu ordered himself to command the army to send troops tomorrow to attack the two towns of Luliang and Shuanggou to the east, and assist Wei Dutong in Haizhou to attack Xiapi." And he led an army of 2,000 and went into battle with the commander. ”

Yang Yan took the arrow and asked again, "Did you know what the situation was on Yu Gongliang's side when Mr. came?" ”

Xin Qiji said: "When I came down, I used Zhiyu to control myself and captured Anmin Town, and Li Zhaofu ordered him to attack Feng County and Pei County to the north. First gradually clear the periphery of Xuzhou, and then attack Xuzhou with all your might. ”

Yang Yan said: "Mr. Lao, you will set off with me tomorrow." ”

Luliang and Shuanggou are in the east of Xuzhou City, between Xuzhou and Xiapi. The capture of these two towns could cut off the connection between Xuzhou and Xiapi. And after capturing Xiapi, Wei Sheng and Li Xianzhong could join forces in Xuzhou City, and Xuzhou would be at their fingertips at that time.

On March 2, Yang Yan led his army to capture the town of Luliang, and on the third day he captured the town of Shuanggou, cutting off the connection between Xuzhou and Xiapi.

On March 5, Yu Gongliang led his army to capture Feng County, and on the 8th, he captured Pei County. At this time, the Song army completely occupied the northern part of Xuzhou.

On the same day, the Song Shandong Volunteer Army commanded Wei Sheng and led an army of 20,000 troops, sent troops from Haizhou, and attacked Xiapi.

Su Shi Lie Zhining connected to the urgent notice, and he was anxious. Immediately ordered Qingshannu to lead an army of 5,000 to rescue Xiapi. As a result, Qingshannu was ambushed by Yang Yan on the way, and more than half of the men and horses were lost. Qingshannu had to flee back to Xuzhou with the remnants of the defeated generals.

After the gold soldiers were sold, Yang Yan and Xin Qiji immediately led their troops and marched to Xiapi.
