Chapter 899: 200 Years of Yan Yun’s Final Recovery

"It's just a few jumping clowns! Brother Shi Qian and Chai Daguan are doing a good job." On the way to the Northern Expedition, Shen Long received a letter from Dai Zong. In the letter, Wen Huanzhang, Chai Jin, Shi Qian and others will He told me everything that happened after he left Beijing, focusing on the changes of those officials and Zhao Gou.

"Everything in central Beijing is fine, Taishi University can rest assured about the Northern Expedition, if there is any news, the subordinate officials will report it immediately!" Dai Zong said, and after he finished speaking, he murmured in his heart, after the completion of the Northern Expedition, can Brother Yuanwai... …

"Brother Dai Zong is here, let's go to rest for one night, and come back tomorrow to get a reply." Having Dai Zong is much more convenient, at least during my Northern Expedition, no matter what happened in Tokyo, I would know soon.

Dai Zong went down first after saluting, while Shen Long returned to the commander's tent with Li Gang, Yang Zhi, Yue Fei, Hu Yanzhuo, Zhe Yanzhi, Han Shizhong and others, and discussed the next strategic arrangement in front of the sand table.

Now Shen Long divided his forces into several groups, and the Ruan family brothers led the navy to transport troops and horses northward by sea, pointing directly at the Yanshan Mansion guarded by Guo Yaoshi, led by Zhang Qing without a feather arrow and Guan Sheng with a big sword.

On the other hand, the soldiers and horses on land moved east and west along the route Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan had gone south. Li Gang, Yue Fei and others went west after crossing the Yellow River and entered the Hedong Road, preparing to recover Taiyuan. The generals of the family, Zhe Yanzhi and others are also in the camp. The Yang family has a high reputation in Hedong Road, and flying their banner will help win the hearts of the people in Hedong.

And the northwest generals such as Zhejia and Zhongjia will also go west from Shaanxi to contain the strength of the Jin soldiers, but it is only a containment. There is still a big gap between their combat effectiveness and Liangshan soldiers, and they also have to guard against the Xixia bandits. Bian; although the Liangshan army is powerful now, it is too late to judge Xixia to shrink back with common sense, how dare to attack the Song Dynasty, but there is another just in case? There can be no chances in the military.

The Eastern Route Army, led by Shen Long himself, marched north along Xinde, Zhongshan, and Zhending, and pointed directly at Yanjing. The main road, Lulongsai, is in front of him, and he can use it to go straight to Huanglong Mansion.

In the early morning of the next day, Dai Zong came early to pick up the letter, which was full of words of encouragement from Shen Long to Wen Huanzhang and others, praising them for their good work. Dai Zong quickly went to the capital after receiving the letter; March in two ways.

Along the way, every time they went to a place, the army released hot air balloons, used hot air balloons and binoculars to observe the enemy's movements from a distance, and then reported the information to the Chinese army, providing reference for the Chinese army to formulate strategies and shoot cannons.

Intelligence, weapons, and military strength are not as good as human beings. How can the Jin soldiers stop the Liangshan army? Along the way, Liangshan's army was as powerful as a broken bamboo, and they arrived at the city of Yanjing in a short time. At this time, the Ruan brothers had already sent Zhang Qing, Guan Sheng and others ashore. They rushed out by sea and caught Guo Yaoshi by surprise. Under the attack of Liangshan Army, he was defeated.

Yanjing fell into the hands of Liangshan Army so easily, and Guo Yaoshi also died on the battlefield.

At the same time, the progress of the West Route Army is also going smoothly. Yue Fei and Han Shizhong have shown their military talents. , Taiyuan and Datong came together, and Yang Zhi returned to Yanmenguan, where his ancestors once created glory.

"After this battle is over, a certain family wants to ask the grand master for a favor and let a certain family guard the Yanmen Pass!" Yang Zhi said after worshiping his ancestors in the temple built by the locals for Yang Liulang. With the same position as Yang Yanzhao in the past, Yang Zhi felt that he would have no regrets in this life.

"You can't monopolize such good things. I also plan to stay in Hedong Road with Taishi and Yang Taiwei." Li Gang said the same, he vaguely felt that when the Northern Expedition ended, it would be time for the Song Dynasty to change the world. However, if the Jin people replaced the Zhao family, he would definitely refuse to do so.

But what if Grand Master Lu replaces the Zhao family? Li Gang is not blind either. He can clearly see the changes that Grand Master Lu has brought to the Song Dynasty since he came to power. The remaining party of the six thieves abolished the bad government of the imperial court.

Then introduce high-yield crops so that the people of the world can fill their stomachs. Under the rule of Taishi Lu, the lives of the people in the Song Dynasty are getting better and better; now the Taishi personally leads the army to the Northern Expedition, and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun have been recovered In sight, this is something that even Taizu and Taizong didn't do.

Comparing the two, Taishi Lu is indeed more suitable to be emperor than Huizong and the current official, but Li Gang is also an old minister of the Song Dynasty, and he was asked to personally support Taishi Lu to ascend the throne, but Li Gang couldn't do it.

That being the case, it's better not to get involved in the affairs of the court, just stay in Hedong Road with Yang Zhi and the others, and avoid this turmoil. .

"A certain family is something you can't wish for!" Yang Zhi also vaguely guessed some of Li Gang's thoughts, and agreed with a smile. A prestigious official like Li Gang is a huge obstacle for Yuanwai's elder brother to ascend the throne. As long as he doesn't object, In fact, it is the biggest support, so let's stay with him in Hedong Road!

The sixteen states of Yanyun are Youzhou, Shunzhou, Ruzhou, Tanzhou, Jizhou, Zhuozhou, Yingzhou, Mozhou, Xinzhou, Guizhou, Wuzhou, Weizhou, Yingzhou, Huanzhou, Shuozhou , Yunzhou, Li Gang and Yang Zhi's West Route Army recovered Yingzhou, Huanzhou, Shuozhou, and Yunzhou, while Shen Long and Zhang Qing's two armies recovered Youzhou, Shunzhou, Ruzhou, and Tanzhou. , Jizhou, Zhuozhou, Yingzhou, Mozhou, Xinzhou, Guizhou, Wuzhou, and Weizhou.

Since then, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun have finally returned to the hands of the Central Plains Dynasty. At this time, it has been nearly two hundred years since Shi Jingtang ceded the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to Khitan according to the Khitan's request in the third year of Tianfu.

Dai Zong sent the news back to Tokyo, and the whole world was shocked. It has been nearly two hundred years since the Central Plains never forgot to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. Unfortunately, many attempts have ended in failure. I didn't expect how long it took for the Taishi to lead the army. Yanyun ten Take all six states.

For a while, Grand Master Lu's reputation in the Central Plains reached its peak, and some quick-witted people began to prepare, and when Grand Master Lu returned to Beijing, he hurriedly wrote a letter to persuade the Zhao family to give up.

However, what they didn't expect was that Shen Long did not stop in Youzhou, but continued to lead the army to the Huanglong Mansion, intending to completely end the Kingdom of Jin in a single battle.
