That night, Du Chong got the news that Zhang Yong and Wang Shan were leading hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians to the north. Du Chong originally wanted to call a few people over to treat them to a drink, and then capture and kill them all in one fell swoop.

.However, he didn’t expect that everyone would lead his army northward, leaving Du, who still didn’t know the truth, full of doubts.

When he learned that Ma Kuo, who had left the military camp without authorization and was missing, was among the hundreds of thousands of militiamen and rebels who suddenly went north, Du Chong immediately understood that they were going to defect to King Xin Zhao Zhen.

Originally, hundreds of thousands or even millions of loyal soldiers and civilians marched north together, which made Du Chong very puzzled as to who organized it. This time Ma Kuo no longer concealed his identity, and Du Chong immediately knew that all this was happening.

It was Ma Kuo who did it. Immediately, Du Chong immediately sent someone to Yangzhou to deliver the message.

However, what Du Chong didn't expect was that the letter he sent would not reach Gaozong Zhaogou's hands because the Jin army was attacking Yangzhou at this time.

After the Jin army failed to attack Xinwang Yijun, Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan) and Wanyan Zongbi (Wushu) led the army from the Xuzhou and Sizhou areas southward to attack Zhaogou in Yangzhou. The special forces crossed the Song Dynasty Prince 50

At this time, Bianliang in Tokyo seemed isolated and had almost lost contact with the Song army in the Jiang and Huai areas. Du Chong did not dare to stay in such a dangerous place anymore, so he and his men repeatedly planned to retreat to Jiankang. In February, Du Chong decided

Going south, the goal is Jiankang, and the responsibility of staying in Tokyo is temporarily handed over to the deputy left-behind Guo Zhongxun. Afterwards, Du Chong can go south to Jiankang with thousands of troops.

After Zhao Gou became emperor, he only had a few guard followers and no longer formally trained his troops. All the millions of militiamen were "forced" by Zhao Gou to go north to defect to Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. Zhao Gou was afraid of the local army's rebellion, so he ordered the local army to be

They are frozen in place and are not allowed to move.

Under such circumstances, if the Jin soldiers cannot capture Yangzhou, they can really just find a piece of tofu and kill them.

However, Yue Fei, the commander-in-chief of King Xin Zhao Zhen, attacked the city and recaptured Liaozhou, Fenzhou, Xinzhou, and Qinzhou. However, with the adjustment of the Jin army's strength, a large number of Jin troops were deployed in the areas occupied by King Xin's rebels.

The surrounding areas were defended. The war situation suddenly reached a stalemate, and with the influx of millions of people into the areas governed by King Xin, King Xin's army could only fully develop production and construction. It was no longer able to launch another war.

As King Xin's rebel army gathered millions of rebels, its strength gradually increased. In order to win over Zhao Zhen, the Kingdom of Jin immediately sent an envoy to express his willingness to recognize Zhao Zhen as the real emperor of the Song Dynasty. In order to gain time for his own construction and development, King Xin Zhao Zhen also

For the time being, he did not expel or kill the envoy. He just said that he could consider it and then treated the Jin envoy coldly. In this way, the two sides were in a state of peace for the time being.

At this time, Wang Shan, Zhang Yong and Ma Kuo also rushed to Qinzhou from Bianliang, Tokyo. They had just withdrawn from Bianliang and heard that the rebel army Yue Fei had led his troops to capture Qinzhou, and Xin Wang Zhao Zhen had arrived in Taiyuan Prefecture. The three of them suddenly

Surprised and happy, I hurried over to pay a visit.

Yue Fei came to help, and this time the rebels were able to gather millions of people and militiamen. Ma Kuo took the greatest credit. In addition, Wang Shan and Zhang Yong defected to him, so Xin Wang Zhao Zhen personally welcomed them several miles away.

King Xin Zhao Zhen was approachable and did not put on any airs. In addition, King Xin had a murderous and majestic aura. Wang Shan and Zhang Yong bowed at the feet of King Xin with sincerity. After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Wang Shan and Zhang Yong also

Be blunt and forthright.

He said that as long as Zhao Zhen is not killed by Zhao Gou and Du Chong because of himself, they will settle the score later. The two of them are willing to go through fire and water for King Xin without hesitation."

King Xin Zhao Zhen was very moved and agreed wholeheartedly. This time the rebels suffered heavy losses and were exhausted after a series of bloody battles. They just needed to rest for a while and gain a firm foothold in the current occupied area before resisting the Jin attack.

A large number of various armed militiamen gathered in Hedong and Hebei, and a large number of prisoners needed to be resettled. Therefore, King Xin Zhao Zhen immediately organized people to select the best of the best for rigorous military training and incorporate them into the regular army. The best were selected for ordinary military training.

, entering the city defense armies and militia armed forces from various places to defend against Jin soldiers and bandits. The remaining millions of people were immediately resettled on the spot.

King Xin Zhao Zhen is the son of the emperor. In the past, when King Xin Zhao Zhen first entered Wuma Mountain, Zhao Zhen could only listen and could not speak. But later, King Xin Zhao Zhen suddenly showed his powerful abilities and he was resourceful.

, scared off the Jin army. He was victorious in every battle and was brave and good at fighting. He loved the people and was a T-shirt sergeant. He was brave and invincible and led his army to victory one after another.

Everyone gave Xin Wang Zhao Zhen a feeling, whether it was about the great cause of expelling the golden dog and restoring the rivers and mountains or about his own future in the future. All Xin Wang Jun were full of confidence in Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. What particularly touched him was that he could feel

They are loyal to themselves.

This feeling is very clear and real. You can feel this loyalty from their smiles, from their eyes, and even from their hearts. They have transferred their loyalty to the Song Dynasty and the Zhao royal family to themselves

.And the reason is boiled down to one's own record, one's own strength, and more importantly one's own noble moral character and infinite wisdom. Without these things, of course, they cannot be convinced, and once they are convinced, they will not be interested in restoring the Song Dynasty.

Heshan's enthusiasm, perseverance, and loyalty to the emperor are touching and admirable.

Gao Yunfei, Ma Kuo, Ma Zheng, Yue Fei, and Zhao Bangjie are the five people who have the most real power in Xinwang's army besides Xinwang Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen's eyes moved back and forth on the faces of the five people. If Xinwang's rebel army is a tripod

, then you are the main body of the tripod, and these four people are the four pillars of the tripod. In the future, if Wang Xinwang Yijun achieves a great cause, he drives out the Jin soldiers, restores the country, and goes straight to the Jinlong Mansion of the Jin Kingdom. These four people must be the Qingtian who supports the great cause.

Zhu. Without them, without their loyalty, without their persistence in restoring the great Song Dynasty and expelling the Jin soldiers, Xin Wangjun would not have achieved what it has today.

Several of the top military commanders and staff of King Xin's army finished talking about Hedong and Hexi, and the various rebel armies fighting against the Jin. Then they talked about practical issues.

Gao Yunfei mentioned the strategy of Lian Gaozong to attack the Jin Dynasty. Under the current situation, the Xinwang Yijun was still surrounded by the Jin Kingdom. This great victory of the Xinwang Yijun temporarily stopped the Jin army's encirclement and suppression strategy and achieved the third victory.

A successful counter-encirclement and suppression campaign. Now it seems that the country has been restored and the Jin army has been successfully defeated. But if you look closely, you are still within the encirclement of the Jin army. The encirclement is still an encirclement. This fact cannot be changed.

No matter what, after all, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen and Xin Wang Yijun have only developed for more than a year, and now they have reached the limit. Even if they want to develop faster, they are powerless.

Now the most important problem restricting the Xinwang Yijun is the issue of money and food. After this anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, although the Xinwang Yijun annihilated the Jin Army's East Route Army and captured a large amount of livestock, food, grass and property from the Jin Army's East Route Army and the Jin Army's West Route Army.

However, it has taken in millions of people from Hedong, Hebei Road, Shandong Liang Road, Jingzhao Road, and Yanyan Road. It has also taken in as many as two to three million people from Tokyo Bianliang and Bianliang surroundings.

Soldiers and civilians, the entire area occupied by King Xin is now a sea of ​​people, and the density of the population in the occupied area has exceeded that of any other place.

Although in that era when human resources were used as resources, some people had everything. And the Macao people also brought back a large amount of sweet potatoes from the south to make seeds, but the food we need now is far from enough. We can only wait for the food harvest next year.

Only then can this big problem be solved.

Now, all the troops in the area occupied by King Xin have two meals a day plus one bone soup and one meat porridge. All the people can only eat two meals of porridge a day. Everyone tightens their belts and saves food.

Save the food seeds for next year. Under the current situation, King Xin's Yijun simply has no ability to allow King Xin Zhao Zhen to continue to expand and continue the war with the Jin army.

Now the actual areas occupied by King Xin's rebel army are Taiyuan Prefecture and Zhending Prefecture, plus the newly occupied Qizhou, Dingzhou and Jing'an City areas, Hedong and Hebei have occupied ten prefectures and two and a half prefectures in total.

Even if all the rear armies and militiamen farmed their own fields, and King Xin's armies also implemented the military land system. However, neither the population nor the wealth of these dozen state capitals can support the cost of the army. War is not just about harvesting grain and grass.

The army needs salaries, weapons, coal and clothing. Where do these things come from?

Having no other choice, Zhao Zhen immediately implemented a military industry and rationing system. All mined ores, smelted steel, and coal were all developed and produced by the headquarters. However, the land area occupied by King Xin was limited and the output was limited. Zhao Zhen immediately sent various groups to

The army secretly attacked the Jin army's grass valley and seized the Jin army's food supplies and baggage.

After the war with King Xin's rebel army, the situation in the Central Plains changed suddenly. In the short term, the Jin army was unable to deal with King Xin's powerful rebel army and the large amount of land and soldiers and civilians controlled by the weak Gaozong Zhaogou in the south at the same time. The Jin army's strategy to deal with King Xin Zhao Zhen

, will switch from offense to defense, and among the defensive strategies, the best strategy is to temporarily maintain peace with King Xin.

More than 200,000 Jin troops were wiped out by Zhao Zhen. The Jin people needed time to adjust their national policies, recruit troops, and accumulate strength. If nothing else, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom would send appeasement envoys to try to recruit the rebels.

. Of course, appeasement is false, but maintaining the existing short-term peace is true.

The Jin people are obviously worried that the rebels will continue to cause trouble in their occupied areas. The Jurchens' current psychology is very contradictory. They need the rebels to stay still so that they can organize their troops to quickly go south to capture Gaozong and Zhaogou and obtain a lot of wealth.

and land. But they were worried that the rebels would suddenly launch an attack and join forces with Gaozong and Zhaogou in the south to attack the Jin Kingdom, so their strategy for the rebels was to appease and contain them. Special Forces Crossing: The Prince of the Song Dynasty 50

At the military meeting at the General Office of Xinwang Yijun, Xinwang Zhao Zhen said: "We should not expect the Jin people to give us the materials we need. The Jin people are just a pack of wolves, and their original intention is to use us first and then kill us after using us.

Similarly, we should not expect Gaozong Zhao Gou, my timid brother Ninth, to not give us the supplies we need. Facing the Jin people, a fierce tiger that is eager to look at us, Zhao Gou wished that we would both lose and let the Jin country negotiate peace with him.

As for us, it would be best if the entire army is wiped out. To Emperor Gaozong and Zhao Gou, we are just disobedient tools."

Seeing that everyone, especially Yue Fei, didn't care at all about his rebellious words, Zhao Zhen was secretly happy. It seemed that everyone was really tied to the same boat with him.

"Therefore, if we want to get out of this predicament, we must first unite with Emperor Gaozong to attack the Jin people, further attack the Jin people, and consume the Jin people's strength. At the same time, we must also get in touch with the Jin people and use this as a threat to force the Jurchens to

Agree to our conditions. However, Gaozong, Zhaogou and the Jurchens are not fools. They will not just watch the rebel army grow and threaten their safety. They will also come up with countermeasures, and they may negotiate peace and become allies.

If the Kingdom of Jin gives up everything, negotiates peace with Emperor Gaozong, and attacks us comprehensively, we will be in misfortune. Therefore, the implementation of this plan is extremely difficult, and the results are extremely limited. However, we have to do it." Zhao Zhen looked at everyone.

, said solemnly.

Zhao Zhen's opinion was recognized by everyone. Now Gaozong Zhaogou owned a large area of ​​land in the south and had a large number of soldiers and civilians. In fact, he still had a very strong resistance to the Jin Kingdom. However, Zhao Gou, who wanted to escape and seek peace,

Gou didn't understand the actual situation at all. He blindly believed that the Jin Army was powerful and was extremely afraid of the Jin Army. He was afraid that any of his actions would anger the Jin Army, but he was also afraid that the militia and common people would rally to fight against the Jin and become stronger, threatening his throne.

.

Therefore, he must use the Kingdom of Jin to "force" Zhao Gou to resist the Jin. It is actually very simple to make Zhao Gou resist the Jin. As long as Zhao Zhen secretly sends the conditions for his surrender to the Kingdom of Jin, Zhao Gou will be destroyed and he will become the leader of the Song Dynasty in the south.
