Dingyuan is broken.

Yue Fei saw Li Zong who led people to blow up the wall behind Dingyuan Pass and then led people to enter the pass and defeated the defenders.

As soon as they met, Li Zong pleaded guilty and said: "The general will delay the military plane, please punish the commander."

Li Zong is Li Yan's favorite adopted son, and Li Yan's most trusted adopted son, and the Tabai Army is Li Yan's personal guard to a certain extent, often with the Jiefan Army or alone Protect Li Yan.

Moreover, Li Zong is only 24 years old this year and has a bright future.

What's more, although Li Zong wasted a lot of time, it was because of him that Dingyuan Pass could be breached. In other words, Li Zong actually made merit, and it was a great merit.

In this case, there is actually no problem with offsetting merits and demerits, even asking for rewards for Li Zong is no problem at all.

If you change the control system, you will definitely do this favor.

But Yue Fei didn't, Yue Fei didn't even think about it, he said: "I will report this matter truthfully, whether you are guilty or meritorious, it is up to the Emperor and the Ministry of War to decide."

Li Zong is not an ordinary person, he didn't resent Yue Fei because of this, he directly accepted the order: "No."

This time, he went straight to Huanglong, all he wanted was a speed.

Therefore, Yue Fei didn't care that it would be nearly an hour before dawn, so he called Fang Jie, Li Tianrun, and Wang Sheng, and then asked Liu Min to take Fang Jie, Li Tianrun, and Wang Sheng's three troops of nearly ten thousand horses to bypass Linzhou and leave. Anxing County, Tiezhou, Tongzhou, Guozhou, and Jiazhou rushed to Anbeifu, an important town in Koryo, and then waited for the opportunity.

Liu Min soon set off with Fang Jie, Li Tianrun, and Wang Sheng's three horse troops. Yue Fei then ordered the army to rest for half a day and set off after lunch.

During this process, Yue Fei decided that Niu Gao would lead his troops and five thousand civilians to guard Dingyuan Pass.

After lunch, Yue Fei personally led an army to attack Linzhou, an important town in the north of Koryo.

According to the investigation by the secret special battalion, there were only less than 1 soldiers left in the Western Goryeo Army, of which [-] were at Dingyuan Pass. One, about [-] troops, was stationed in Linzhou.

Therefore, as long as Linzhou is conquered and these more than 1 horses are eliminated, Yue Fei and the others can drive straight in.

Although Linzhou is an important town in the north of Koryo, the city wall is not as thick as Dingyuan Pass. In other words, the steel wheel fire cabinet can blast through the city wall of Linzhou City.

In the first battle, Yue Fei led his army to conquer Linzhou.

After leaving a commanding army stationed in Linzhou, Yue Fei immediately sent his troops south...

……

Tong Guan and Cai You's eyes almost popped out when they learned that Li Yan had captured the Liaodong Peninsula and was about to fight the Kingdom of Jin.

Tong Guan said leisurely: "The king of Liaodong is really...revenge."

Cai You laughed and said, "He's a guy who can't hold sand in his eyes. If he offends him, even if he doesn't take revenge for the time being, he will definitely get back sooner or later."

Tong Guan's heart moved, and he thought: "He won't seek revenge from Da Song again?"

Shaking his head, Tong Guan put this matter behind him, and he can't care about these things now.

Now, Tong Guan has only one thing on his mind, and that is how to explain to Zhao Ji?
Liang Shicheng has sent a message to Tong Guan: Zhao Ji did not forgive Yan Yun because he recovered, and Zhao Ji was still a little unhappy.

According to Liang Shicheng's analysis, Zhao Ji's behavior may be because Yanyun was not recovered by force by the Song army, but was bought by Li Yan and the court from the Kingdom of Jin with a lot of extra money.

The development of the matter so far has actually completely exceeded Zhao Ji's expectations, but Zhao Ji is not satisfied with it.

Moreover, although Yanyun was recovered, the three states of Keping, Ying, and Luan were still in Zhang Jue's hands, and the Kingdom of Jin was bound to win these three states.

So, in Zhao Ji's view, Yan Yun's affairs are not over yet.

……

The fields and houses of the wealthy households in Yandi were soon wantonly occupied by the Ever Victorious Army.

Someone accused Wang Anzhong, saying that he was indifferent to this and sat by.

Wang Anzhong ignored it.

In fact, Wang Anzhong was also very embarrassed about this. Although he is the chief executive of Yanjing, he really can't control this matter, because it is a major decision of the imperial court to hand over the Fuhu Tianzhai of Yanjing to the Changsheng Army. How dare he Violation?
The Changsheng army is arrogant and domineering everywhere, and many incidents of encroachment on the people's fields have occurred, so the common people are in dire straits.

What is even more tragic is that some family members of the former Liao officials turned into beggars. They were humiliated everywhere, and were even killed innocently by the Changsheng army, but they had nowhere to sue.

Due to the looting and harassment of the Changsheng Army, the policy mistakes of the Song Dynasty, and the weakness and bewilderment of the Yanshan Mansion, many families in the Yanjing area became more displaced and difficult, and the Song State lost the hearts of the Yan people.

The people of Yanjing were very disappointed with the State of Song. In their opinion, the State of Song was far behind the State of Liao and Shuibo Liangshan, even worse than the Jurchens.

pity!

The changes in people's hearts and opinions did not attract the attention of Xuan Fusi of the Great Song Dynasty.

Tong Guan's heart is all on how to explain to Zhao Ji.

After discussing with Tong Guan's staff, they gave Zhao Ji a congratulatory form, saying congratulations on recovering Yanyun:

Gongwei Your Majesty, who knows the signs of the demise of the northern captives.In the eighth year of Zizhenghe, the Kingdom of Jin sent envoys to make good connections, and made an agreement to attack. In the fourth year of Xuanhe, the host of the captives moved, and Yeluchun usurped the establishment.

Looking at this congratulatory form, in fact, it is to boast that Zhao Ji is wise and powerful, strategizing, downplaying the two major defeats of the Song Army, and exaggerating the political correctness of the Song State. The strongest ever victorious army dedicated Zhuozhou, and finally influenced Li Yan, the king of Liaodong, to sacrifice the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Zhao Ji did not respond to this, but all the officials congratulated Zhao Ji for this, and Wang Fu gave Zhao Ji a congratulatory form with extremely flattering words, "Bijun Mingtang not only revealed the name of Pingshuo; Xuanzang The stone drum is still inscribed with the ancient name. The gold inscribed by Zhongyu is the time when Muye took the oath; And towards the side where the sun is coming..."

At the end of April, Tong Guan and Cai You received an edict from Zhao Ji, ordering his class teacher to return to the court for honors, and hand over the military command of Yanshan Mansion to Zhan Du.

Zhan Du was born in a family of officials. His grandfather was an official to the Ministry of Rites. He was a scholar of Guanwendian and a political advisor.

Zhan Du himself is very talented. When Zhenghe knew Zhenzhou in the early years, he was excellent in the examination of the imperial court, and he was added to Longtuge. At the age of 36, he served as the transshipment envoy of the two Zhejiang provinces, that is, the transshipment envoys of the east and west of Zhejiang, and were in charge of the two financial routes. The endowment also has the power to supervise and inspect local officials in prefectures and counties. In three years, Xuanhe served as the general manager of the Mabu Army and Zhongshan appeasement envoy, guarding Zhongshan Mansion, a strategically important place in Hebei.

Tong Guan appreciates Zhan Du very much, and has spared no effort in promoting Zhan Du these years. Back then, when Li Yan and Zhao Ji asked for Zhan Du, it was Tong Guan who told Zhao Ji that Zhan Du should never be given to Li Yan.

Zhan Du was very grateful for Tong Guan's kindness to him. Therefore, when seeing Tong Guan and Cai You off on behalf of Yanshan Mansion, Zhan Du composed a song "Ping Yanyun", praising Tong Guan and Cai You as heroes: " The spring scenery of the Changting pavilion sends off the heroes, and the rivers and mountains are full of red sun. The swords and halberds shake the willows and moon at night, and the flags and the apricot blossoms at dawn. When we go, we must make a decision to fight the army, and we must succeed in helping the world. laughing."
