    Outside the flower hall of Prince Yan's residence, the royal guards of Prince Yan were densely packed.  "At this moment, there is no festive atmosphere in this temporary mansion where the owner is getting married in two days. Instead, it is solemn and solemn, just like a large tent in front of thousands of troops.  In the flower hall, a wooden plan carefully made by the Xifu Zifang Division is placed in the center.  This wooden map was made during the Yonghe period when the Song Dynasty was still determined to go north and the elite soldiers and generals inherited from the fifth generation of the Forbidden Army had not yet died.  The company invested a lot of manpower and took several years to build it.  The mountains, rivers, terrain, cities and villages of Yunnei are clearly visible in detail.  Further news from Yunnei finally came through.  When the news of the Jurchen's intrusion in Yunnei came, Xiao Yan responded decisively.  Yunnei originally had more than 2,000 elite soldiers selected by the Shenwu Evervictorious Army, but the direction of Tanzhou provided another one or two thousand elite soldiers from the former Liao Dynasty who were familiar with the climate of the north and were fully equipped. In addition, Yunnei's powerful local private soldiers were coerced, and Hedong was the leader.  Backing up, this strength is no longer considered weak.  And Xiao Yan did not hesitate to ask Han Yue to send the main force northward, without any hesitation.  It was the idea of ????wiping out the thousands of Jurchen horses that penetrated deeply into Yun Nei in one fell swoop.  The longer this matter drags on, the more it becomes corrupted, and what Xiao Yan wants to fight for now is time!  And the key to closing the door and defeating the Jurchen army in Yunnei lies in Yingzhou.  If Yingzhou does not go down, the main force of the Jurchen West Route Army in Datong Prefecture, Xijing, will not be able to support the Jurchen lone army coming over the mountains in a detour.  The fortress of Yingzhou is small and strong. Normally, it is not easy for thousands of Jurchen troops to conquer the fortress of Yingzhou alone.  As for the main Jurchen army in Datong Prefecture in Xijing, if they want to penetrate deeply, it will not happen overnight.  Tens of thousands of troops and horses were dispatched in the cold weather.  Mobilize and assemble.  Raise food and supplies.  The movements are much slower than those of thousands of people.  And the traffic capacity of the road is also limited. An army of tens of thousands, together with the auxiliary soldiers and civilians, can only move forward one after another.  It will take more time until the main force of the army is gathered.  Just as Yue Fei led his two thousand elite cavalry to the north and had already arrived near Yingzhou, Han Shizhong's main forward force had just arrived at Wuzhou. The army was assembled, and it was not known how long it would take.  ?To sum it up.  It is still a big deal that Yingzhou's fortress can be maintained until reinforcements arrive in large numbers.  It is also the basis for the expected quick sweep of the Cloud Nei Land!  The decision was made and the troops marched north.  But the Jurchen's movements were faster than Xiao Yan imagined.  I don¡¯t know what happened, but the latest military information reported back is that the Jurchen troops and horses that have penetrated into the Yunnei land are rapidly shrinking towards Yingzhou, and Yingzhou has been occupied by the Jurchen troops and horses!  The main force of the Jurchen army in Datong Prefecture of Xijing went south and penetrated deeply into Yunnei, and even the thoroughfare to the east of Hedong has been opened!  Although no further news has come yet, Xiao Yan never dares to make any extravagant hopes that deceive himself and others.  Now that we have taken this pass.  Zong Han of Datong Prefecture in Xijing will definitely not only have the troops and horses that took risks in advance.  No matter what, we will mobilize the army and control this key point.  Always keep strategic advantages firmly in your hands.  At that time, it all depends on his mood whether he will take advantage of the situation and move further south to Hedong, or wait for the weather to be warmer before moving south to invade the Song Dynasty.  " However, if Xiao Yan were Zong Han, he would never be satisfied with staying in Yingzhou with his army, waiting for the weather to get warmer before taking action.  Since we have the strategic initiative in our hands, we must not give our opponents a chance to make amends. They will definitely overcome all difficulties and move their troops southward in a large scale, sweeping across the Yunnan states. At least they must go south as far as the east side of the river, such as Yanmen Pass and Pingxingzhai.  The danger must be in hand.  The East Road of the Song Dynasty is completely open before the Jurchen soldiers. Only by expanding the strategic initiative to the point where the opponent can no longer make up for it can it be possible to stop!  ¡°If we expect famous generals like Zong Han to make the mistake of just trying a little, they might as well believe that they can go back to the 21st century and continue to be a young reporter in the next second.  The Jurchens destroyed the Liao Dynasty by attacking quickly, protecting their troops in a battle at Dagang, and miraculously won the battle. After gaining the strategic initiative, the Jurchen soldiers quickly swept across the entire Liao Empire, never giving the Liao Empire a chance to breathe.  Until the entire Daliao Empire collapsed under such continuous blows.  Why do you expect the Jurchen army and horses to suddenly become stupid when facing the Song Dynasty?  The situation can no longer be worsened.  If it was just a Jurchen invasion, it would be nothing.  But Xiao Yan's current position in Bianliang seems to have all the power in the world, and he can't do anything for a while.  But the truth is that there is a turbulent undercurrent. I don't know how many people and how many forces are waiting for Xiao Yan to reveal his flaws and then smash him to pieces!  From the abdicated Supreme Prince Zhao Ji and those who have lost power around him, to the current bureaucratic scholar-bureaucrat group headed by Cai Jing, to the Western Army Group entrenched in Shaanxi Fourth Road, and even the new one who has no sense of presence in Yanfu Palace  The emperor, as well as the Yongning army on all roads in Hebei, and broadly speaking, the entire old system regarded Xiao Yan as the enemy!  It¡¯s not these people and forces who can barely maintain their status now.?Get along peacefully with Xiao Yan.  But the military force of the Song Dynasty has declined to a certain extent. If the strong army in Xiao Yan's hands is not divided and disintegrated, the amulet will still be there for a while, and all forces will not dare to act rashly.  The second is the palace coup led by Xiao Yan, which also brought about another reshuffle of the Song Dynasty's ruling system. All forces did not want to put Xiao Yan in the front first, and they later took advantage of the chaos to gain greater power in the new system.  .  For example, the system of civil servants and officials headed by Cai Jing wants to take advantage of the situation to weaken the monarchy to an even weaker level, while the Western Army, a warlord group that has begun to take shape as a vassal town, must at least strive to reach the point where the Shaanxi Routes and their Western Army general group are completely under their control.  Therefore, Xiao Yan can be at the forefront of the storm for a while, and when the power and position he strives for is stable, Xiao Yan can be used as a scapegoat to bear all the blame for this change in power.  It¡¯s not that Xiao Yan didn¡¯t know what these people were planning.  And they are going to use their thoughts and the time they have bought to raise more strong armies and divide and disintegrate the forces of all parties.  It just depends on Xiao Yan and the hostile forces, who will have the last laugh.  But the Jurchen invasion completely broke this fragile balance in one fell swoop.  The attack was hitting the Hedong Shenwu victorious army that Xiao Yan most relied on for his power!  Although there are tens of thousands of new troops in Bianliang.  Since the Imperial Guards in the capital maintain the wealth of the family, all supplies and equipment are naturally of the best quality.  The training is also very diligent.  Compared with the original imperial army, it is naturally a powerful force.  The group of civil servants headed by Cai Jing was so suppressed that they did not dare to act rashly.  But Xiao Yan's true strength relies on him.  It¡¯s still Hedong Shenwu¡¯s ever-victorious army!  ??It¡¯s simply a matter of military horses in Duzhong.  As long as Cai Jing and others make enough exchanges of interests, with the three Western armies in the west and the Yongning army in the north, leading them to Bianliang, they will be able to overwhelm Xiao Yan's new army.  Whether he drives Xiao Yan to Hedong or simply kills him, he has enough confidence.  "But the Shenwu Changsheng Army in the east of Hedong is here, and we can lead the Western Army into Bian."  Hedong Shenwu's ever-victorious army can flank.  If Yongning's army is led into Bian, they can take advantage of it.  In addition, the central Bianliang Xiaoyan and the new army cooperated.  Even if we can't win the battle, we can still maintain a stalemate. At that time, if the people in Bianliang were so divided, what good ending could there be?  Precisely because of the presence of the Hedong army and horses, Cai Jing and others at the center did not dare to act rashly, and the military leaders from all walks of life were also waiting to see the situation.  "Xiao Yan's layout can be called a national expert, and his two eyes make him live."  It's the truth.  But if the Jurchens move south in a large scale in advance, the Hedong Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army will be destroyed or greatly weakened.  Even if Xiao Yan organizes and trains a new army and takes control of Bianliang, it will only be a dead end!  All kinds of forces will take advantage of this situation and bite Xiao Yan until no bones are left!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~ Such was the military situation in Yun Nei that Xiao Yan and Fang Teng, who were sitting opposite each other in the flower hall, both had serious expressions on their faces. Even with Fang Teng's quick wit, they did not dare to speak easily at this time.  This is definitely the life and death of Xiao Yan's group!  Xiao Yan suddenly stood up and walked slowly around the wooden figure.  His eyes fell on Yingzhou from time to time, but his expression didn't change much.  Fang Teng pondered for a long time and then tentatively spoke: "What if we don't give up Hedong and Yanzhou Tanzhou, gather the two armies southward, and guard the capital between the rivers? At least the Kinki area is stabilized and there is still room for expansion.  " Xiao Yan shook his head, gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "Losing the Yandi Pingfan, losing the mountains and rivers east of the river, retreating to Kinki, and giving these places to the Jurchens?  .  Manipulating palace affairs, disturbing Bianliang, and killing a group of generals and generals of the Forbidden Army to death, Xiao Yan could never say that his hands were clean and flawless.  But there are some things that you still can¡¯t do.  In order to consolidate one's own power and position, one cannot surrender the key points of Northern China to the Jurchens!  ??Perhaps by gathering his troops and horses and gathering them in Kinki, other forces in the country will not dare to act rashly.  But the Jurchens' tendency to destroy the Song Dynasty could never be undone!  What's the point of fighting so hard against this thief?  How could he have the dignity to meet the heroic souls who died under his own banner?  Listening to Xiao Yan's solemn tone, Fang Teng knew that although this lord could be very kind at times, his strong will had long been polished into stone.  Xiao Yan said no, that means no.  Fang Teng pondered for a moment and then said softly: "How about the payment? As long as Zong Han does not enter Hedong, Yunnei will temporarily give it to him. Yunnei's army and horses can shrink Hedong and stick to it." This proposal seems to be somewhat operational.  .  If Zong Han is really that kind of person who is greedy for money and good stuff, the gold and silk can be spent.  Why would Xiao Yan cherish that little money?  During the Han Dynasty, there was a great revenge, and after the siege of Baideng, Shang was a monk for decades, until Han Wu worked hard and stood up, and the eagle struck Mobei.  But how could the current situation at that time be compared with the sudden high position and internal and external difficulties of a man who had returned to the south?  Even if Zong Han is out of his mind, he will accept the money and not enter Hedong.  Then the reputation of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army, which is used to intimidate the world, can no longer be maintained.  ?Whether the military spirit can still be mobilized like an arm and a finger for one's own family is no longer known.  " Moreover, if the Jurchen West Route Army moves south a little, they will have to pay.  So, as one of the powerful Jurchen factions who fought openly and covertly with Zong Han, the Zongwang Department of the Eastern Route Army was inspired by this to go deep into the various roads in Hebei. Is it okay?  Even if the two Jurchen armies are also affected by the halo of mental retardation, all the money can be spent.  So if we can use it to deal with the Jurchens, why can't the hostile forces in the DPRK use it to deal with the Jurchens?  From now on, will I, Xiao Yan, and Cai Jing and others betray the country by comparing themselves to each other?  Not only is this idea absolutely impossible, even the slightest move will be the beginning of your own downfall!  Under Xiao Yan's sharp gaze, Fang Teng knew that what he had come up with was a bad idea, so he could only sigh, shook his head, and said softly: "Does the king still want to take risks?" Xiao Yan nodded: "Otherwise, we  When the time comes, I will marry Di Ji. Isn't all my efforts in vain? If only Shang Di Ji is a member of the Tian family, don't let me stay in Bianliang.  How can I fight back these Jurchen Tatars? With such a military strength, let¡¯s see if they dare to think anything about it!¡± Xiao Yan suddenly wanted Shang Diji, which was exactly the decision he made after the Hedong incident.  Just to prepare for the eventuality.  He is the son-in-law of Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji has abdicated the throne, and his family has to serve him day and night.  It was a matter of course to take the Taishang personally to conquer Hedong.  Being in a high position and playing political games.  Sometimes it is necessary to talk about some reasonable procedural justice.  Not to mention that we also have arrangements for the new emperor Zhao Kai, if Cai Jing and others support Zhao Kai and take action after they leave Bianliang.  After defeating the Jurchens, he could not help but support Zhao Ji to return to Bianliang!  Zhao Ji was so enthusiastic about Xiao Yan¡¯s affair with Maode Diji because he had underestimated Xiao Yan¡¯s change in attitude.  The sign of Zhao Kai has changed from supporting it to guarding against it.  With the idea of ????resetting the situation as soon as possible.  In order to support Xiao Yan and go to Hedong for a personal expedition, even if Zhao Ji was not so courageous, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.  Is there any choice left?  If he disobeys, Xiao Yan will dare to support Zhao Huan, the deposed prince.  But to act like this is to take risks after all.  While marching outside, if there is a change in the center.  Can the morale of the frontline troops be maintained?  What kind of tricks does Zhao Ji have? What should I do?  After all, we are not in the heart of Bianliang, which is under strict surveillance!  And the key is the key.  Can you successfully defeat the Jurchens in one fell swoop?  If the battle is successful, then everything will be easier to say.  An unfavorable battle, even a stalemate, is the beginning of Xiao Yan's status being no longer able to be maintained!  Fang Teng was not surprised that Xiao Yan made such a decision.  Whenever faced with danger, Xiao Yan would always go to the front line and fight his way out!  Following such a majestic and powerful lord, sometimes it is really stressful Fang Teng sighed softly again: "It would be better for the three forbidden kings to be supported and controlled by the king.  If you conquer it yourself, you will be more confident." Xiao Yan smiled coldly: "It depends on whether the person you recommend is so capable Even if he stays in Bianliang and wants to turn this day around,  You still have to let me live in Hedong!" Fang Teng smiled bitterly: "If you have any hope, just do your best. The situation is urgent, so I will take action now. I will mobilize the army.  There are too many things to do, not to mention the wedding ceremony of your Majesty How long will it take for you to have less food and trouble?" Xiao Yan smiled: "I will give you the position of deputy minister of the West Palace, sir.  Is it worth it? This big wedding ceremony should be more lively, so that everyone in the world will think that the prince and I are so good that we can¡¯t wait to wear a pair of trousers. Don¡¯t be stingy with money!¡± Fang Teng laughed and stood up: ¡°If you are less than thirty, prepare it!  It seems that the ambassador can only go forward and retreat with the king. Why don't the others look down on the students and get angry?  How can a student feel sorry for the king? Just ask the king to wait and be the most charming guest in the world" At this point, the big deal has been decided.  In Xiao Yan's current powerful group, there are still many people who are responsible for specific tasks and leading troops, who are worthy of being driven.  But the only ones who made the decision were the poor two people, Xiao Yanfangteng.  On the one hand, his wings are extremely thin, which fully reflects Xiao Yan's shallow foundation.  On the other hand, if you are decisive, you will be able to act, and you can act vigorously and resolutely to the extreme.  As for other forces, I'm afraid they haven't finished peeling off their skin after Xiao Yan made the decision and started taking action.  It's hard to say what the pros and cons are.  Fang Teng bowed and left, but Xiao Yan was still circling the wooden figure in a heavy tone, his eyes only falling on Yingzhou.  Having made a decision, Xiao Yan no longer hesitated and just moved forward.  Now my mind is indeed as hard as iron.  The only person I'm thinking about right now is Guo Rong.  ¡° Guo Rong is in Yingzhou What is this long-legged girl like?What's wrong?  During the discussion, Fang Tenglingxing did not mention a word about Guo Rong.  Xiao Yan never mentioned it.  But in Xiao Yan's heart, there were ups and downs.  If there is anyone I feel sorry for in this era, it is Guo Rong!  After being silent for a long time next to the wooden diagram, Xiao Yan suddenly punched it hard, causing a huge earthquake. All the small flags placed on the wooden diagram shocked Lao Gao!  With one blow, Xiao Yan turned around and strode out. He ordered the personal guards of King Yan who turned around after hearing the sound: "Gather all the generals and go to the camp to discuss matters! If you don't arrive within three seconds, you must march according to the law!" If Guo Rong has any  If there is any misfortune, I will use the entire Jurchen West Route Army to bury Guo Rong!  God is your witness, you thief!  (To be continued)
