Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

In the early morning of that day, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Loushi left 30,000 people stationed in Zhending Mansion, and then they led an army of 140,000 to Zhongshan Mansion and Hejian Mansion in the east.

When the Jurchens left Hedong, they had an army of 180,000, but after they came out of Taihang Mountain, they had only 160,000 troops left, and they still had 10,000 troops in Jingxing County and Zhending Prefecture. Reached 170,000 people.

As for Zhongshan Mansion and Zhending Mansion, there are also garrisons in these two places, but they are Liu Yu's troops.

Historically, the Jurchens established Liu Yu as their son emperor, and Liu Yu established the Puppet State of Qi, and the scope of the Puppet State of Qi included many places in Hebei and Shandong. The capital of the Pseudo-Qi State was the Daming Mansion, but these things are impossible now thing.

On September 2, the Jurchen army arrived at Zhongshan Mansion. Wanyan Lou Shi personally led 50,000 people to guard Zhongshan Mansion, while Wanyan Zongwang continued to lead the army towards Hejian Mansion.

On September 5th, Wanyan Zongwang led the remaining 90,000 people to Hejian Mansion. After arriving here, Wanyan Zongwang breathed a sigh of relief again.

The three big cities of Zhending Mansion, Zhongshan Mansion, and Hejian Mansion are connected in a line, radiating thousands of miles around. After owning these places, Wanyan Zongwang feels that he still has the strength to turn the tables!

Of course, now that he has less than 200,000 troops, he must contact Liu Yu!

Liu Yu is the local snake in Hebei and Shandong. After contacting Liu Yu, his real strength increased greatly.

Immediately Wanyan Zongwang called the puppet generals of the Hejian Mansion to his side and asked about the situation in Shandong.

"I heard that many Song troops entered Shandong from Yanyunnan. What is the situation in Shandong now? Liu Yu has 300,000 troops. Even if the Song army is powerful, he should be able to resist it, right?" Wanyan Zongwang asked. .

"Reporting to Second Prince, the situation in Shandong is not very good now!" a puppet general said hesitantly.

"What's wrong? Shandong's hundreds of thousands of troops are extremely strong! Tell me, if the situation in Shandong is not good, I will immediately lead the army eastward to help them!" Wanyan Zongwang said.

"Second prince, the Song army is extremely powerful. Master Liu Yu fought against the Song army in Qingzhou, and was defeated by the Song army. The 300,000 army suffered heavy casualties, and only more than 100,000 people escaped. Now the more than 100,000 people It's in Qizhou and Dezhou!" said the puppet general.

"What? You only have more than a hundred thousand people left? The Song army is strong, why did you fight them on the plain?" Wanyan Zongwang said angrily.

"Second prince, Zhang Xian's troops in the Song Army only had more than 20,000 people, and he occupied Qingzhou at that time! Master Liu Yu gathered 300,000 troops to conquer Qingzhou and capture Zhang Xian alive. Who knew that Qingzhou turned out to be a trap. The army was in ambush there, they charged in the middle of the night, Lord Liu didn't take precautions, that's why they failed!" said the puppet general.

"Damn it! Liu Yu is such a waste!" Wanyan Zongwang gritted his teeth.

The generals of the puppet army below did not dare to say more.

Wanyan Zongwang walked back and forth in the room, feeling anxious.

He originally thought that after occupying Zhending, Zhongshan, and Hejian, the three strongest cities in north-central Hebei would be connected in a line, and that Hejian would be able to connect with Shandong and other places to the east, and could be connected with Liu Yu's territory. , can make Liu Yu's hundreds of thousands of troops come here! Who knew Liu Yu had only one hundred thousand troops left now!

Liu Yu is in Qizhou, Dezhou and other places. Qizhou is now the Jinan area. These two cities were not important military towns in ancient times. The size of the cities was limited. With the strength of the Song Army, it is not impossible to conquer these two places !

"What should I do?" Wanyan Zongwang felt overwhelmed.

After coming to Hebei from Hedong, he realized how corrupt the situation in Hebei and Shandong has become!

Song Jun was everywhere, and he felt powerless!

He thought he occupied the whole of Hebei and Shandong, but now he realizes that there is not much space left for him!

"How many troops does Liu Yu have?" He gritted his teeth.

"Sir Liu Yu still has 160,000 troops under his command." The puppet general said.

"160,000 people, plus the 170,000 people in my hands, there are 330,000 troops! In addition, there are many Han people in Dezhou, Qizhou and other places, and these Han people can be driven to Zhongshan, Hebei, etc. Jian and other places! With Zhongshan and Hejian as the center, we can still occupy the north! It seems that I need to go east to rescue Dezhou, Qizhou and other places!" Wanyan Zongwang murmured.

"Your Highness, we need to guard against the Han people's schemes!" said a Jurchen general.

"This..." Wanyan Zongwang was taken aback.

"Second Prince, you have 170,000 troops under your command, 90,000 troops are stationed in Hejian Mansion, and our lord Liu Yu also has 160,000 troops. With such a large army, we should cooperate with each other from the inside and outside. Any conspiracy will be useless!" A puppet general said.

"You're right!" Wanyan Zongwang nodded.

"However, I still need to investigate the specific situation in Dezhou and Qizhou before I can use troops!" After a while, Wanyan Zongwang said again.

He immediately sent people to investigate the specific situation in Dezhou and Qizhou, not to mention this.

*** ***

Above the sea, the waves are rolling.

The sea breeze is cold.

The sky has gradually darkened.

Zhao Chen was standing on the bow of the boat at this moment, when the waves came, his body was covered with sea water.

He looked forward, but there was an expression of excitement on his face.

Wu Jie, Wang Shu, and Kang An all stood behind him.

"We entered the Bohai Sea last night, should we dock now?" Zhao Chen said.

"What Bohai?" Wu Jie said after hearing this.

"I mean the sea." Zhao Chen said.

Bohai Sea was called Canghai in ancient times, also known as Beihai. Zhao Chen slipped his words just now and used words from later generations.

"Yes, it's time to dock! Your Majesty, let's dock at the south of the Yellow River out to sea." Wu Jie said.

"Where is the south of the Yellow River?" Zhao Chen knew that the mouth of the Yellow River in this era was different from that of later generations, but there was no city at that location, so he didn't know where it was in later generations. He only knew that it was located in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. .

In fact, the mouth of the Yellow River in this era is in Tianjin in later generations.

When Tianjin was in the Ming Dynasty, the government established Tianjin Wei, and this is the Tianjin city of later generations! In the Song Dynasty, the Yellow River was surging here, and the Yellow River often flooded, so it was impossible to build a city! There are only some small military camps here, but unfortunately those military camps have already been destroyed in the flames of war.

After the diversion of the Yellow River in later generations, Liangshan Po, once the largest lake in the north, disappeared, and Tianjin was no longer where the Yellow River estuary was, so it could be truly built.

What Zhao Chen still doesn't know is that it is impossible to change the course of the Yellow River in this era! In history, in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the reason why the Yellow River was diverted was because of man-made reasons! The Jurchens invaded and Zongze died of illness. After Du Chong took Zongze's place, Du Yun ordered people to open the Yellow River to prevent the Jurchens from going south, but instead of blocking the Jurchens, he caused floods in the wealthy areas of the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, and more than a million Han people died! Afterwards, the flow direction of the Yellow River changed. Originally, the Yellow River flowed into the Bohai Sea, but it turned into the Yellow Sea.

In this era, the Jurchens' invasion focused on Guanshan, so there was no artificial digging of the Yellow River, and it was difficult for the Yellow River to divert.

"The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun should be under our control now! I just don't know the situation of Wanyan Zongwang. Is he in Hedong or Hebei? If he is in Hebei, Wu Jie, you can also lead troops to fight." Zhao Chen laughed.

"I hope so!" Wu Jie said.

The sky was getting darker and darker, but at this moment, cheers suddenly came from the front!

Before, Zhao Chen and Wu Jie sent people to take small boats to investigate the situation ahead. Now that those people have returned, they have encountered the big boat in front, and the cheers came from the big boat in front.

"We're docked!" Zhao Chen said, looking forward.

"That's right, it's landed!" Wu Jie said excitedly.

The two of them are highly skilled in martial arts. Although the sky has turned dark and there are only dots of starlight, both of them have seen clearly the situation ahead!

The mainland is just ahead!

Soon, the entire fleet began to cheer.

The fleet moved forward, and finally the big ships stopped slowly!

They did not find a port here, and the big ship could no longer move forward and could only stay in the offshore position.

"Leave people on board, let's go there by boat!" Zhao Chen said.

"Okay!" Wu Jie nodded.

Soon Zhao Chen, Wu Jie and others headed towards the shore in small boats, and countless soldiers followed them towards the shore.

These soldiers are former soldiers of the Yangtze River Navy. Although they are sailors, they have never spent so much time on board. At this moment, many people are eager to go ashore!

Finally, Zhao Chen and others came to the shore.

More than 50,000 soldiers of the Yangtze River Navy, 40,000 of them have come to the shore at this moment!

"We need to find out where this place is, how far it is from Yanjing, how far it is from Hebei and Shandong! Also, we need to find out the situation of Yue Fei and Li Xianzhong, and see where they are now!" Wu Jie said.

Zhao Chen nodded.

Immediately Wu Jie sent people to go around.

After about an hour, a soldier came over and reported that there was a small town a few miles to the south.

At that moment, Zhao Chen, Wu Jie, and Wang Shu led thousands of soldiers towards the small town.
