Zhou Zhi was holding his breath the whole time.
He had been holding his breath ever since the battle to retreat to the rear in order to allow the main force of the Liberation Army to retreat.
Seeing that they were about to attack Kaifeng, the Jin army secretly attacked the logistics of the Liberation Army, causing their success to fail.
Although Zhao Kaishan may not be able to win Kaifeng, no one knows the outcome of what has not happened.
So Zhou Zhi hates it!
As a fire captain, he failed to put out the fire, and later became a scapegoat and almost died in prison. This series of experiences made him sigh.
While he was in prison, he replayed the Kaifeng battle several times, thinking that if he could keep up with some aspects, he wouldn't suffer such a setback.
He originally thought that he had no chance to avenge his shame, but God was merciful and actually gave him a second chance.
After leading the troops again, he vowed to avenge his humiliation no matter what and prove himself with a hearty victory.
The reorganized You Yi Army consisted of veterans of the original Liberation Army, veterans of Su Yonglin's command, and survivors of Caozhou Shanzhou after being tortured by Kong Yanzhou. The composition was quite complex.
However, thanks to the instructors sent by Su Yonglin, they used the same idea to unite the morale of the army, and used the same identity to shape the identity within the army, which gave Zhou Zhi a very different look and feel.
I don’t procrastinate in training, I don’t fight over meals, I don’t gamble in daily life, and I am very motivated in my studies.
In a few months, the new You Yijun and the old You Yijun have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Zhou Zhi was very surprised, but also very happy. The new You Yi Army gave him a very good impression, making him believe that he could lead such an army to achieve great achievements and avenge his past humiliation.
In that state at that time, he was not afraid of Kong Yanzhou. He fought bloody battles with him and even retreated. Kong Yanzhou couldn't do anything to him, let alone now... No, that's not the way it is said now. The way it is said now is that Kong Yanzhou Certain death.
As soon as the order to start the war was given, Zhou Zhi led You Yi's army to start the attack. He wanted to rush to Kaifeng City as quickly as possible and in the shortest time, and all the offensive tasks would be left to Zhang Yuejing.
But whether it was Zhang Yuejing or Zhou Zhi, they were both very fast. The momentum of this wave of attacks by the Liberation Army was so fast that the Jin Army could not resist at all.
When Kong Yanzhou learned that the Liberation Army had captured Guide Mansion, Zhang Yuejing had already occupied Ningling County and began to attack Xiangyi.
At the same time, Zhou Zhi had already led his army across the forks of the Yellow River, arrived at Pangang, and headed for Tongjin Pass.
When Zhou Zhi's army occupied Tongjin Pass, Kong Yanzhou, who had just learned that the Liberation Army had launched an attack not long ago, finally learned that an army of the Liberation Army was only forty miles away from him.
"What's going on? Why wasn't there any report before? Where are the sentries? Where are the stations along the way? Are everyone dead?! Why didn't anyone report the news to me!!!"
Kong Yanzhou roared hysterically at his men.
The subordinates were trembling and didn't know what to say.
To be honest, they didn't know how this Liberation Army moved, and why they were only discovered when they arrived only forty miles away, and no one reported the news along the way.
It may be that they were too fast, or that their actions were too secretive, or that all the defensive personnel arranged along the way ran away, and no one remembered their responsibilities.
Any incident that happens will make Kong Yanzhou blind and deaf. It can only be said that the communication methods in this era are really poor.
But it is meaningless to say this now.
Because as the news of the large-scale invasion of the Liberation Army came, another terrible news also came to Kaifeng City.
Wan Yanliang's southern expedition failed, Wan Yanliang himself died, the entire southern expedition army was wiped out, and the Liberation Army had turned to a strategic counterattack.
Attacking Nanjing Road and capturing Kaifeng City was the beginning of this operation.
This news was obviously more frightening than the news that the Liberation Army had launched an attack and acted quickly.
Wan Yanliang is dead?
The southern expedition army was defeated?
Did the Liberation Army shift into a strategic counteroffensive?
Kong Yanzhou, who was left behind in Tokyo, Kaifeng Yinhe Shi Liezhining, and political counselor Jing Sihui were all dumbfounded by this incident and did not believe it from the beginning. They all felt that this was a conspiracy of the Liberation Army and that they were deceiving Nanjing. The golden army on the road.
Wan Yanliang's army marching south was nearly half a million people. How could such a huge military group lose to the Liberation Army?
Fake!
Absolutely fake!
Therefore, none of the three people believed that the Liberation Army was a victorious army and came to expand territory. They only thought it was a strategic fraud.
However, as more and more civilians and military generals retreated from the front line, the three of them became increasingly shaken when they heard the news they brought back.
The Liberation Army attacked all the way, carrying many flags of the Jin Army and even the battle flags of the army. They were also the new army numbers and battle flags of the newly established Jin Army's Southern Expedition Army.
That's really impressive.
No matter how you look at it, it's not fake.
Could it be...
Are you really defeated?
If the battle is really defeated and Wan Yanliang really dies, wouldn’t the Great Jin Kingdom be doomed? Although the Kingdom of Jin is very strong, it absolutely cannot afford the complete destruction of the Southern Expedition Corps.
So, is this true or false?
None of the three could tell.
However, the reality is very urgent. One Liberation Army is attacking the city and occupying territory. The defense line on the eastern side of Nanjing Road is completely defeated, while another Liberation Army is only one day away from them.
They need to make many strategic decisions at once.
The most despicable option is to abandon the city immediately and abandon Kaifeng.
The other options are to defend the city or go out to fight in the field.
This is all aimed at the Liberation Army. If this is not enough, there is also the Southern Song Dynasty.
Once the army went to war with the Liberation Army, what did the Southern Song Dynasty think? What would the Southern Song Dynasty do?
If you think about it more deeply - were the actions of the Liberation Army combined with the Southern Song Dynasty?
When Zhao Kaishan took action before, the Southern Song Dynasty had no movement at all. However, this time, before the Liberation Army took action, the Southern Song Dynasty had been working hard for several months.
Did the two sides reach some terrible cooperation treaty?
All kinds of terrible situations were placed in front of the three of them. To be precise, they were placed in front of Kong Yanzhou, which made Kong Yanzhou very worried.
Wan Yanliang entrusted full military and political power on the Nanjing Road to Kong Yanzhou, so Kong Yanzhou suppressed He Shi Liezhining, limiting the power of He Shi Liezhining, the true military and political leader of the Nanjing Road.
Jing Sihui was the main person in charge of building the Kaifeng palace and had no decision-making power on military and political issues.
Therefore, the opinions of He Shi Liezhining and Jing Sihui cannot become the final decision.
Kong Yanzhou is the one who ultimately makes the decision.
At the moment, Kong Yanzhou was in a panic. He was gradually beginning to feel frightened by the sudden attack of the Liberation Army, the powerful troops of the Southern Song Dynasty, the terrible rumors, and various abnormal phenomena.
How could the Liberation Army, which was suppressed by hundreds of thousands of troops, still have the strength to disperse and fight on two fronts?
This is unreasonable!
Anyone who knows a little bit about military affairs will know with a little analysis that this is almost impossible. Unless the decision-makers of the Liberation Army are collectively caught in the door, they will do something that is no different from committing suicide.
When something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and this demon directly points to the rumor - Wanyan Liang was defeated and died, and the entire Jin Army's southern expedition force was wiped out.
If this were true, it would all make sense.
So Kong Yanzhou swallowed his saliva and looked at He Shilie Zhining and Jing Sihui.
"Tell me, if that rumor is true, what should I do?"
He looked nervously at He Shi Liezhining and Jing Sihui, hoping to get a different answer from them.
The two of them were stunned and had nothing to say for a while.
After a while, Heshi Liezhining spoke with difficulty: "How can a minister think of your Majesty in this way? If there is no definite evidence, and it concerns your Majesty, you must not talk nonsense, absolutely not!"
Jing Sihui hesitated for a long time, and in the end he could only agree with He Shiliezhining's statement.
"No one who is a minister should slander the king."
He used this sentence to block out any more unfriendly remarks that might follow.
Because if this continues, there may be even more rebellious remarks that irritate their little hearts, causing their already restless hearts to continue beating wildly.
That's not a good feeling.
