The Great Jin Dynasty ruled the Yanjing area for eight or nine years for eight years, and its foundation was quite deep. Even if he ran away now, he still left many suspicions. Even if Zhao Kai took advantage of Guo Yaoshi's death, he cleaned up and arrested many people, but he could not dig out all the fine works left by the Great Jin Dynasty.

So the news that he killed people and sacrificed flags on the east bank of Gaoliang River and vowed to the east to march, spread to Haiyang County more than 500 miles away, and reported to Deputy Marshal Dajin Zuo and King Liang Wanyan Zong in front of the tent.

Wanyan Zonggan's reaction to this was ecstatic: "Good come! Hahaha."

He wasn't forcing his face to smile, but he was really happy!

Because if Zhao Kai had been squinting in Yanjing, Wanyan Zonggan would be very uncomfortable. Before, Wanyan Zonggan hoped that Zhao Kai would not come too quickly so that the Jin soldiers would prepare in the Shanhaikou area.

But after all the preparations were made, Wanyan Zonggan began to look forward to Zhao Kai coming soon.

Because his army, like Zhao Kai's army, were all land soldiers who took turns to join the army. Among them, the Pinglu Army, the Liaoxi Army, the Andong Army, the Xianping Army, and the Huining Army were better. At least the territory of these armies was not lost, and Meng'an Mouke, who belonged to the soldiers, did not need to re-arrange the territory.

The troops of the direct army of the Marshal's Mansion, Ziqing Town, Datong Town and Weibo Town were in trouble. Their territory was lost, and the Meng'an Mouke who belonged to them became a betrayal dog and needed to be resettled. Before the resettlement was completed, the soldiers who did not know where they belonged were all empty.

The army is uneasy!

Moreover, Zhao Kai's logistics supply was a problem, and the surplus grain in the Jin Bing family was also limited. Although they tried hard to pull out a handful of wool before evacuating Yanshanfu Road and Hebei Road, the surplus grain was much more than Zhao Kai.

But I can’t help but sit and eat in vain!

Now the number of Jin soldiers gathered in Shanhaikou, Haiyang County, Laibin County, Haibin County (belonging to Zongzhou), Anchang County, Yongle County (belonging to Jinzhou) and other places exceeds 350,000 (including Alixi)!

In addition, there are more than 500,000 families and slaves, and the people are young.

These people all need to eat and drink.

For these more than 800,000 people alone, the food consumed in one month reached an astonishing 200,000 stones!

The grain snatched from Yanshanfu Road and Hebei Road can last for up to half a year.

Moreover, if these people stayed in the corridor of western Liaoning, they would not be able to go to Guangning Prefecture to reclaim wasteland. They would require labor to strengthen their labor, so the service soldiers must be allowed to go home to participate in production in order to reclaim the land so that they can have food to eat in the future.

In addition, the main force of the Jin soldiers gathered in Shanhaikou and would delay them from conquering the Kingdom of Goryeo.

Therefore, if you delay for a long time, it will be bad for Zhao Kai and will be bad for Wanyan Zong.

If Zhao Kai had been in Yanjing and did not advance eastward, and would not withdraw his army, but instead competed with Dajin, it would be difficult for Wanyan Zong to do it!

I dare not take the initiative to move westward, so Isn’t it a question of trying to get a shot?

After the army was dispersed, they went home to farm or to fight against Goryeo in the east, but they were unwilling to accept it, and they were not at ease.

If the Jin army withdrew, what should Zhao Kai do if the eastward expedition is behind?

Although Zhao Kai is unlikely to break out of Shanhaikou to compete for western Liaoning, the Shanhaikou area is something Zhao Kai must have taken.

Once Zhao Kai takes down Shanhaikou, he blocks the main passage from the northeast to the Central Plains, and can be said to have completely closed the eastern gate of the Central Plains. Then he can concentrate his efforts to deal with Zhao Gou and Zhao Huan. The "two Zhaos" will definitely not be able to defeat Zhao Kai, who is like a wolf or a tiger. When Zhao Kai unifies the world, he can use the taxes from the southeast to support the soldiers from the north. At that time, the pressure on the Great Jin Kingdom will be great.

But now, Dajin was just ready, Zhao Kai rushed to the Eastern Expedition, obviously being blinded by victory.

"Uncle Wang, my nephew suggests that we should start field battles with the Song army first based on Yuguan and Yuhe. Now we have the Camel Tube Army, and the chances of winning in the field battle are quite good. If we cannot win in the field, we will rely on the fortress between Yuguan and Shanhaikou and retreat, lure the Song army to the front line of Shanhaikou and defend the camp to fight!"

Wanyan Xiebao also smiled and came up to make an idea for Wanyan Zong.

His method is to first rely on favorable terrain and the camel tube to fight in the field. If the field battle cannot be won, then retreat to guard Shanhaikou. If the Shanhaikou cannot be kept, Wanyan Xiebao must go to Linhuang Mansion to discuss with his father Wanyan Zonghan. Is it better to be the Roman official in Constellation, or to be the Tian Khan of the Great Food Kingdom in Baghdad?

Wanyan Zonggan nodded slightly, as if he also admired the plan of Xibao, but he did not make a final statement, but looked at his two brothers, the third brother Wanyan Zongfu and the fourth brother Wanyan Zongbi.

"The method of separatist protection is good," said Wanyan Zongfu, "I'll give another move. We can lure the enemy deep into the beginning and lure Zhao Kai's troops to Shanhaikou. Then we will use the main force to hold on, and then transport the sub-department troops to Shandong and Wulimei to join forces, and go west to Kaifeng Prefecture, forcing Zhao Kai to return."

Wanyan Zongbi touched a bearded man of his own and smiled and said, "If Zhao Kai's army is not moving like a mountain in Yanjing, it will be difficult for us to deal with it. But once his army moves, we will be able to fight. As long as we can attract Zhao Kai's main force to Shanhaikou, we can either go to Shandong or cross Yanshan to the grassland.

Our cavalry is already strong, and with the camel tube and the small cannon, it is not something that Yelu Dashi and Xiao Heda can resist. As long as you defeat these Khitan dogs, you will fight back to Xijing Road and then threaten Hedong Road!"

Wanyan Zong smiled dryly and said, "It seems that there are quite a lot of ways to defeat Zhao Kai. Why don't we try it one by one?"

"Try it one by one?" Wanyan Zongbing said, "then you want to fight Yu Pass first?"

Wanyan Zonggan nodded, showing murderous aura on his face, "Yes! Let's enter Shanhaikou and fight Zhao Kai first at Yuguan!

Now that the time, place and people are in my hands, the Lone King wants to see what other tricks Zhao Kai needs!”

When the Jin soldiers were in large-scale entrances, they began to expand in Yuguan and Yuhe areas, and began to build forts and arrange defenses. The 200,000 army led by Zhao Kai also began to advance wildly.

This army left Shuntian Prefecture on the eighth day of the eighth month to launch an eastern expedition. After leaving Shuntian Prefecture, they first went to Lu County, Tongzhou, and then to Sanhe, and then advanced into Yuyang, Yutian, and Yongji in Jizhou, all the way eastward without stopping.

On the morning of August 14, Li Shifu, who was leading the way for the entire army, led his troops across the "military dividing line" between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, and entered the territory of Luanzhou under the control of the Jin Dynasty. On the same day, he captured Shicheng County, which had not had much troops to defend.

The next day, Li Shifu led his army to capture Yifeng, the head county of Luanzhou, which was also unprepared.

After resting in Yifeng for a day, Li Shifu led his Second Army to attack Pingzhou across the Luan River, and soon occupied Haishan County, which was abandoned by the Jin army. On August 17, the vanguard of the Second Army arrived in Changli County, Pingzhou, and then occupied Jieshi Mountain, which was facing Yuguan, which was the Jieshi Mountain where Cao Mengde saw the vast sea.

Yuguan is about 40 miles northwest of Jieshi Mountain!

Zhao Kai's six banners and two banners appeared three days later, on the morning of August 20, above the Shuiyan Temple under the top of the Immortal Platform, the main peak of Jieshi Mountain.

Zhao Kai is here!

"The official family is Yuguan. There is Tiger Mountain in the west, Shijing Mountain in the northwest, Yanghe River in the southwest, and Yuhe River behind it. The terrain is not dangerous and cannot be compared with Shanhaikou in the east. However, the Jin thieves seem to want to compete with us in the Yuguan area, so they have set up villages on Tiger Mountain and Shijing Mountain, and a fortress is built on the east bank of Yanghe River.

From the outside, Yuguan City has been reinforced and expanded, and has just been completed. There should be many troops stationed in it, most of which have also been laid with cannons.

The situation on both sides of the Yu River is still unclear, so I guess they have built up a fortification. The camps of the Jin thieves' army are mostly on the east bank of the Yu River.

I’m using the book-chasing app I’ve been using recently, [app] to cache reading and read offline!

The Jin thieves should want to use Tiger Mountain, Shijing Mountain, Yanghezhai, Yuguan and other places to consume us. When we are exhausted, their elite soldiers will come out from the east bank of Yuhe River."

On a ridge called Tu'er Mountain on the northern foot of Jieshi Mountain, the person who explained the terrain of Yuguan and the deployment of Jin soldiers to Zhao Kai was the always-victorious celestial girl Guo Tiannu.

She once stationed in Pingzhou with her father Guo Yaoshi. Later, when Zhang Jue rebelled against the Jin Dynasty, she also came to Pingzhou on behalf of the Yanshan Prefecture Road appeasement envoy Wang Anzhong to discuss with Zhang Jue about joining the Song Dynasty!

Later, when Zhang Jue defeated Wanyan Jiemu at Tu'er Mountain (where Zhao Kai and Guo Tiannu are now), Guo Tiannu watched the battle on Tu'er Mountain. It was also the news she brought to Wang Anzhong (the defeat of the Jin army) that made Wang Anzhong decide to urge Zhang Jue.

Although Guo Tiannu was distracted and seriously overestimated Zhang Jue's strength, she was really familiar with the terrain around Yuguan.

Moreover, this time her analysis of the Jin soldiers' deployment was very accurate. Wanyan Zonggan set up a defensive counterattack.

"Mr. Concubine, have you ever met the Golden Thief? How are their situation?"

Zhao Kai held the far-distance tube and looked around, while asking his brother-in-law Li Shifu beside him.

The only ones who followed him to Tu'er Mountain today were Guo Tiannu, Dong Jingang, Li Shifu, and some accompanying guards.

Han Shizhong and Yue Fei have not arrived in front of the Jieshi Mountain Army. Han Shizhong is still in Jizhou to sweep the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain. He has to block these mountain passes to prevent the Jin thieves from circling the Yanshan Mountains and killing behind Zhao Kai's army.

Yue Fei was sweeping Lu Long, Qian'an, and several mountain passes in Pingzhou to ensure the safety of Zhao Kai's army's flanks.

Only after completing the mobilization of the mountain pass and deploying defenses did the two generals Han and Yue lead their troops to join Zhao Kai.

"Official family," Li Shifu replied, "My cavalry has met with the Jin thieves on the west bank of the Yanghe River. They are not very willing to fight. Seeing that we are many people, they retreat to the east bank of the Yanghe River and never cross the river to seek war. In my opinion, the Jin thieves are very cautious in fighting. It seems that they want us to attack the official family first. We might as well take the defensive first and confront the Jin thieves for a while. After the Jin thieves are paralyzed and relaxed, they will detour from the south of Yu Pass to the east bank of the Yanghe River from the south, and advance eastward, forcing the main force of the Jin thieves to fight us!"
