The city of Dengzhou was defeated, and this roar directly caused a change in everyone's morale.

Guarding general Li Cheng escaped again. Of course, in order to save his life, he still chose to "protect" his general, Liu Hebo Jin!

Although Liu Hebojin was not in the coma after severe injuries at this time, he was still very weak. Gao Zhong was very loyal to him, and he actually punched himself in the chest under Li Cheng's deception.

"This Dengzhou City is handed over to a certain family. You must take the general and leave quickly. Be sure to ensure the general's safety!"

At this moment, Li Chengdu seemed to be a righteous man, and even the weak Liu He Jin looked at Li Cheng with eyes filled with some complicated emotions.

I just feel that I was a little too harsh on the general who surrendered to the Song Dynasty.

The departure of Li Cheng, Liu He, and Jin was fatal to Dengzhou City, which was already on the verge of being lost, although Li Bao, Yang Qin, and Huang Zuo's navy had not yet arrived.

But these large armies had already scaled the city wall, and Gao Zhong could not defend Dengzhou City even if he risked his own life.

The city wall fell, the city gates were opened, and the battle from defending the city turned into street fighting. Gao Zhong even set fire to the city in order to give himself more time to gather an army.

Wanting to use flames to block the Yue Family Army's attack, countless people had been bullied because of the Jin people's occupation, and were frightened day and night.

After the fire, countless people fell into screaming and wailing.

But the fire burned the city but did not stop the Yue family army.

"Kill over!" It was still an extremely simple command. Faced with the burning flames, countless soldiers gritted their teeth and rushed over. The fire even spread on their bodies, but they remained indifferent.

Their hatred for the Jin people and their attacks over the past few days have completely made them red-eyed.

Facing such crazy soldiers, Gao Zhong was shocked again, and even the Jin soldiers under his command made a voice for the first time.

"Are these Song people all lunatics? Are they all complete lunatics!"

Morale was completely shattered, and the Jin people suffered heavy casualties. The remaining general Gao Zhong was captured alive by the furious Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing.

Dengzhou City was completely returned to the hands of the Song Dynasty, and when the fire was extinguished, nearly 10,000 people had been killed and injured, and countless houses were burned and collapsed.

Countless people lost their homes.

The tragedy at this moment further intensified the hatred between the Yue Family Army and even the entire Song Dynasty and Jin people.

"Take inventory of the treasury, appease the people, and station for repairs!"

After capturing Dengzhou, there will be a vast plain behind and there will be no danger. Yue Fei can finally breathe a sigh of relief and let the nervous army relax a little.

At this moment, countless soldiers paralyzed the school to the ground, and countless people could no longer stand.

After conquering Dengzhou, Yue Fei waited until he had enough grain and fodder. Yang Qin, Huang Zuo and others immediately led the navy to continuously transport grain and fodder to and from Jiangnan and Dengzhou.

They mobilized grain and fodder, and at the same time connected everything with the navy. With the Dongting Lake navy obtained from Yang Yao, I dare not say that I would go north to regain my homeland.

At least in the Yangtze River Basin, Yue Fei can finally be said to be unscrupulous.

Three days later, the Yue Family Army was dispatched again. This time they wanted to take back the six counties of Hanxiang in one go. However, Yue Fei's heart never dropped during this process.

"Isn't Jin Wushu still moving?"

During the march, Yue Fei couldn't help but murmur to himself that Dong Xian and his Tabai Army had all been dispatched. In Yue Fei's view, he did not dare to say that he was the number one general in the Song Dynasty.

But he was not afraid of any of the Jin's generals.

But now he was getting more and more worried, because he felt like he had fallen into Tian Ji's horse racing scheme.

There is no doubt that he is a good horse. In Yue Fei's opinion, he should have to fight against Nianhan among the Jin people. In other words, only Nianhan should be able to make himself nervous enough.

But Nianhan has determined that he has nothing to do with this battlefield, which means that the Jin people did not choose him.

In this case, Jin Wushu, a reluctant middle-ranking servant, should... But now he found that he directly faced off against the Jin's lower-ranking servant, Liu Yu and Duchong, in the six counties of Hanxiang.

Du Chong didn't even show up. He was directly fighting against Liu Yu, a guy who didn't deserve to be on the stage.

This let Yue Fei know the Jin man's plan. He was dragged down by a horse, but there was a way to break the situation, and that was speed.

As long as he is fast enough, so fast that Di Ren's middle and upper horses have not yet succeeded, then he can reverse everything.

At this time, Yue Fei had exhausted all his strength and did not even leave enough troops to protect his rear army. He sent Li Dao to Tangzhou and fought hard for two days to finally regain Tangzhou.

At this time, Li Cheng finally appeared with another group of reinforcements gathered.

It was a pity that Zhang Xian and Wang Gui led his men to intercept them thirty miles north of Tangzhou before they could garrison in Tangzhou. Wang Gui ignored the obstruction and forcibly went to the battlefield to kill them.

The Yue Family Army was so powerful that the coalition forces of the Puppet Qi and the Jin had been shaken out of their psychological shadow. Both sides made a decisive decision and won in one battle.

But just when Li Cheng thought that Yue Fei's methods were so superb, on the same day they failed, Yue Fei personally led Yue Fei Niugao, Han Changyang, several more people, and 5,000 elite cavalry to raid the Xinyang Army that surrendered to the Jin people.

The Xinyang Army was not an army. In the first year of his reign of Taiping and Xingguo, he reorganized the Yiyang Army and governed Xinyang County, which belonged to the Northwestern Route of Beijing.

It is a key place connecting with the Central Plains. In other words, it is the gateway to the six counties of Han and Xiang.

Opening up the Xinyang Army means that the six counties of Han and Xiang have been closed by Yue Fei. If Li Cheng, Liu Yu and others were smart enough, they would have known that they would not have to run away at this time.

There is no doubt that they were very smart, and then they escaped, and at this time the second batch of reinforcements came from Jin Wushu.

Liu Guangshi's vanguard general Li Qiong led 5,000 reinforcements to catch up with the general. Seeing this posture, he withdrew without thinking.

From then on, the six counties of Han and Xiang returned to the hands of the Song Dynasty again. This event was of great significance!

Because whether it was the Battle of Damingfu, the Battle of Guanzhong, or the original Battle of Yanjing, the Battle of Hebei, or the Battle of Shandong and Hedong.

Although the Song Dynasty and the Jin people went back and forth, winning and losing each other, and even had great victories, in the final analysis they were still retreating again and again, and at most they were just trying to protect their territory.

Only this time, the Song Dynasty truly regained its homeland, which was of great significance.

But as the saying goes, good things never come in pairs.

Just when Yue Fei was recovering the six counties of Han and Xiang and preparing to send back the good news, an accident happened.

"Jiankang has been lost!"

In Zhao Huan's eyes, Jiankang's other names were even more beautiful, such as Moling, Jinling, or Nanjing.

This was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. It was once full of flowers, but now, it is not a kind place.

Many people are wondering why Zhao Gou did not establish his capital in Nanjing in history and had to re-establish the court in Lin'an. In fact, this matter is very normal.

Because Jiankang was destroyed!

At that time, it was because of a saying: "The topography of Moling, Zhongshan with dragons and dragons, and stones and tigers, this is the residence of the emperor."

So Sun Quan built Stone City and renamed Moling Jianye, thus becoming the source of Nanjing.

Over the years, the construction of the Soochow, Eastern Jin, Liu Song, Southern Qi, Nanliang, and Nanchen dynasties...isn't this just the Southern Dynasties plus Soochow!

Ahem... The construction of the Six Dynasties completely revitalized the land of Jiankang. When it was most prosperous, the Six Dynasties Imperial Palace Jiankang Palace was magnificent and towering, and the palaces and pavilions were majestic.

Jiankang City was forty miles from east to west, north to south, and had three layers of palace walls. It surrounded Qinhuai in the south, Hou Lake in the north, and the Yangtze River in the west. The gardens were mainly distributed in the northeast of the capital. There was Hualin Garden in the north of the palace city, and Leyou Garden covering Zhoushan. Palaces and gardens such as Hualin Garden and Tianyuan Pond are dotted among them.

Moreover, it is surrounded by many satellite cities such as Stone City, Xizhou City, Dongfucheng, Baixia City, and Nanlangye County City to form a defensive force.

There are even more than 500 Buddhist temples scattered throughout the city. By the time of Empress Chen, the prosperity of Jiankang City was even greater than that of the previous three dynasties, and it was even more grand and prosperous.

But such a city was destroyed in the hands of the Sui Dynasty.

In the first month of the third year of Zhenming, the empress of the Chen Dynasty, the Sui army defeated Jiankang and captured the empress of Chen. The Chen Dynasty was destroyed. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty ordered that Jiankang City be razed to the ground and the palaces and gardens of the Six Dynasties be destroyed. Settled in Jiangzhou.

So although this is a critical place, unfortunately there is no prosperity here anymore, and there is not even any reliable defense.

Only the natural danger of the Yangtze River is left.

Just when Yue Fei was fighting a fierce battle in the six counties of Han and Xiang, Jin Wushu, who was originally fighting guerrillas in the Jianghuai area, suddenly used the golden cicada to escape.

He ordered Wanyan Talan to lead the army to attack Huainan, while he himself led the army to attack Jiangnan directly, and went straight to Lin'an in Hangzhou where Zhao Huan is now.

That is where he is stationed, and this is where he wants to capture the dragon and behead him.

Not to mention that Zhao Huan was not Zhao Gou. Naturally, he would not have been frightened and fled to the sea when he heard the noise. Zhang Jun beside him originally asked Zhao Huan to stay and comfort Jiangnan.

Jin Wushu's surprise attack directly gave the two of them a good opportunity, and Zhang Jun took action.

Half a month ago, Jin Wushu's army occupied He County on the north bank of the Yangtze River. The two Jin armies directly and semi-converged and marched eastward along the north bank of the Yangtze River. At this time, they were less than a hundred miles away from Jiankang.

After Zhang Jun received the news, he immediately quarried stones to build fortifications and defended Jiankang and other places. He even asked his generals to retreat to Zhongshan in the northeast of Jiankang, forming a rivalry with him.

For Zhang Jun, this kind of defense feels like he is enough to cope with all attacks.

But when the war started, something unexpected happened. Du Chong, who was missing in the six counties of Hanxiang, fled to Jiankang from nowhere and persuaded the minister Du Shiliang and others who were accompanying the army to surrender.

They thought they were inside and helped Jin Wushu storm the important town of Majiadu, breaking Zhang Jun's defense in one fell swoop.

If it weren't for Zhang Jun's cleverness and the famous general Yang Yizhong stationed at Zhongshan, the two of them immediately chose to evacuate when they saw something was wrong, and deployed multiple suspicious soldiers to save their main army.

It also preserved Zhao Huan's last line of defense.

After the Battle of Majiadu, Du Chong stood up shamelessly and persuaded the Song generals to surrender in large numbers, allowing the officials and generals in the Song army to fall into the arms of the Jin people.

For a time, their reputation was so great that Zhang Jun had no choice but to continue to evacuate, and then defended according to the danger.

At the same time, a letter was sent to Yue Fei, who had finally gained a foothold in Ezhou, telling him that there was a fire in the rear.

After Wanyan Wushu occupied Jiankang Prefecture, he personally led the main force to attack Zhang Jun. The two sides are now fighting to the death from Yuezhou to Hangzhou.

After hearing the news, Yue Fei not only did not panic, but also breathed a sigh of relief.

"The beast has finally come out!"
