Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Qingjian City has a lot of reserves, grass and food, and abundant supplies.Once Zhang Zhen entered the city, he no longer had to worry about supply issues.Immediately send soldiers back to Suide to report the progress of the battle and the situation of Qingjian City, so that Suide no longer transports food.

Before finding out the situation in the city, Zhang Zhen sent out scouts.As far as Yanchuan County in the south and Dantouzhai in the west, it was found that there were no enemy troops.If there is an enemy army, it must be reported immediately without a moment's delay.

It is impossible for Sali to lead an army of two or three thousand gold when he reaches Suide City.But where the Jin army was originally stationed and from what direction it would come from, the Song army had no idea.

Qingjian City is Li Yongqi's hometown, and most of the surrounding Fan tribes belong to the nine tribes of Suwei.The defenders in the city did not help the Jin army to defend, and the loss was relatively small when the city was broken.At this time, they learned that Li Yongqi and his son had returned to the Song Dynasty. They were overjoyed and held a banquet to receive the Song army who entered the city.

Zhang Zhen didn't dare to be careless, and asked to understand the surrounding geography.

Qingjian City has been the northeast gateway of Yan'an Mansion since it was built.Go south on a big road, passing through Yanchuan County, Yongping Village, Qinghua Town, and Fenglin Town to Yan'an.There is a small road to the west, passing through Dantou Village, Long'an Village, and Jinming Village, and you can also reach Yan'an.However, the small road to the west is inconvenient for the army to move.But the road to the west can go from Jinmingzhai to the Security Army, connecting Gyeongju and Huanzhou, which is another route.

There are countless ravines in this area, and there are countless short-distance routes, but there is only one long-distance route.As long as Dantouzhai and Yanchuan County are guarded to the death, the safety of Qingjian City can be guaranteed.Even if you don't guard there, if you know the enemy's situation in time, Qingjian can make preparations early.

After understanding everything clearly, Zhang Zhen was relieved.The headquarters kept the staff officer Cheng Liangsong on duty, and the rest of the staff participated in the welcome banquet held by Li Yongping, the guard of Qingjian City.

Everyone sat down, Li Yongping served a bowl of wine, and said to Zhang Zhen: "The general is so powerful that he wiped out the Jin army in the first battle. It is really amazing. Fortunately, before the war, there were rumors that Li Yongqi was in Suide anyway, and the Jin army did not believe it." We defended the army, so we didn't participate in the battle. Otherwise, there must be a lot of casualties in this matter, and it would be ugly."

Zhang Zhendao: "This is a blessing in disguise. If you didn't participate in the war, how could you be drinking happily now?"

Li Yongping said: "What the general said is true. Let's drink this cup to the brim, and congratulate the general and all the soldiers!"

After drinking, put down the glass, Zhang Zhen said: "After entering Qingjian City, my heart is still in a state of turmoil. It is said that Sali drank Suide and wanted to fight me decisively. It is impossible to bring only 2000 soldiers. But now there is no news of sending troops to the surrounding cities."

Li Yongping said: "According to the information we have received, Zheng Jianchong of Yan'an Mansion has not assembled his troops, and it doesn't look like he is going to fight on a large scale. The guard of Dantou Village, Dang Mingxian, is a local general, and we have not heard from him that recently Something unusual."

After finishing speaking, he added: "How can we not gather foreign soldiers and generals to fight in this area? I am not familiar with the geography of other places."

Zhang Zhen nodded: "So that's the case. There is indeed something strange about Sally drinking here."

The geographical situation in this area is very complicated, and the rangers sent by Zhang Zhen also need a guide, let alone a large army.But relatively speaking, Wang Xiaolie's army is only a matter of finding a few guides, and does not require the participation of local troops.It is difficult for other armies to do this.Because the people are all tribes and tribes, if they want to get supplies from the local area, they still have to rely on the tribesmen.

In Qingjian, there is very little flat land, and there is no delicious food.There is only one pancake, which is made of buckwheat. The process is complicated and the taste is very good.Li Yongping ordered someone to boil a sheep, slaughtered two chickens, and served them with pancakes. The taste was really good.

Today was a big victory, and there were no enemies around. Everyone drank happily and didn't disperse until late at night.

After fighting continuously for several days and nights, Zhang Zhen slept until the sun was high before waking up.Just put on clothes and was about to wash up when Tao Qing, the secretary in charge, came over.Seeing that Zhang Zhen was about to wash his face, he said, "Just got up?"

Zhang Zhen nodded: "I drank a lot last night, and the lack of sleep these days has been severe, so I got up late. What's the matter?"

Tao Qingdao: "Tanma just came to report that the enemy was found in the direction of Dantou Village. They are entering the city one after another. I don't know how many people are there. But at least, there are one or two thousand people."

Zhang Zhen was startled when he heard this.After a while, he said: "It's strange that the Jin army came! Thousands of people at a time, and they were not connected together, like adding fuel. How can there be such a war? We just need to fight fast and fiercely, and eat them all at once. Thousands of people, even tens of thousands of Jinjun were eaten."

After speaking, he shook his head and fetched water to wash his face.

It was nothing more than washing up, the more Zhang Zhen thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.Sitting on the stool, I thought about it for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.

He stood up and ordered his soldiers: "Let the people from the headquarters go to the official hall to discuss matters together."

After finishing speaking, he came to the official hall alone.

Cheng Liangsong was leading the staff to draw a map, and Zhang Zhen stepped forward to watch.After looking at it for a while, he pointed to the west side of Qingjian City and said, "Hasn't the terrain in this area been surveyed yet? Jin Bing came from the west, and it would be great if he had a map of this area."

Cheng Liangsong shook his head: "Tongzhi, we've only been in Qingjian for a day, how can we draw a map? It will take ten and a half months to have a map."

Zhang Zhen sighed and sat down on the main seat.He said to Cheng Liangsong: "Dantouzhai found Jin Jun, tell me, what's going on?"

Cheng Liangsong said: "The Jin army came from the west, which means that it is not the garrison of Yan'an Prefecture, nor the garrisons of Yanzhou and Jingzhao Prefecture in the south of Yan'an Prefecture, but the army that can only come from Huanqing Road or even further away. What does it mean? It means that Sa Lihe really wanted to fight us this time, but he didn’t expect that he would be arrested first when he arrived at the Suide Army. I guess that when these troops arrived, Saliho would recruit nearby puppet troops. There are foreign soldiers from all the strongholds, and we will fight decisively."

Zhang Zhen nodded: "It makes sense. It's only two or three thousand people at a time. Why is Jin Jun doing this?"

Cheng Liangsong listened and said with a smile: "Control, can more people march in this ghostly place? All the roads are either on the mountain ridges, or in the valleys, stretching along a line, and there are very few surrounding villages. They can only be divided in this way." Thousands of people marched along multiple routes, and finally concentrated again. And this concentration point, Sa Liyao, was set up in the Suide Army. Our actions are too fast, and it is estimated that the follow-up troops will not know what happened. "

Zhang Zhen listened and reacted immediately.

"Yeah, we moved too fast! After entering Suide City, we didn't stop and attacked immediately. The Jin Army has not reacted yet! Now the Jin Army in Dantou Village doesn't know that Qingjian City's failure is also possible. The Jin army came from the west, either through the Dali River Valley in the north or the Yeyanshui River Valley in the south. Now we should meet the Jin army who walked through the Yeyanshui River Valley. I just don’t know how many people there are along the way.”

Cheng Liangsong said: "It should be. There is nothing wrong with the route chosen by the Jin army, but too many accidents happened. There is no other way to go in the front, and the army in the rear has no other way to go. They can only go along the valley. strangeness."

Zhang Zhen thought for a while, then slammed the table, and said: "We'd better go out of Dantou Village and seal the Jin army! After a while, the headquarters will discuss it, and we will immediately set off for Dantou Village and ask Suide to send someone over." Take over from us!"

Going out of Dantou Village completely blocked the advance route of the Jin army, making it impossible for them to enter.
