Facts have proved that as long as we have a generally accurate understanding of the world's situation, things will always develop in a good direction.
Three months after Bianliang City was destroyed and the Jin massacred the city, a full-scale war broke out between Xixia and the Jin Kingdom. The Jin Kingdom mobilized the whole country to station troops on the border between Xixia and the Jin Kingdom. The war was not going to stop within a year or two.
At the same time, a series of events were also taking place within the territory of the Song Dynasty.
The emperors who had been elected by the bloodlines of the Zhao and Song official families in the south were eventually murdered by these warlords.
The warlords' mutual attacks also caused the south, which was originally divided into dozens of regions, to be annexed and destroyed.
Within these three months, the three most powerful separatist kingdoms of "Qi", "Yue" and "Wu" gradually emerged in the south.
The forces surrounding the Three Kingdoms are bound to be annexed by the Three Kingdoms sooner or later.
Gaokan also made great gains in Hebei.
Relying on Yan Qing's constant stream of battle reports from the north, he deduced early on that the Jin people had no time to care about them anymore, so he stepped up his orders to Cao Qi and Lin Chong to regain their lost territory.
Even at the back, even Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi beside him were sent out, leaving only Xu Sheng alone and five thousand soldiers and horses to guard Daming Mansion.
Within three months, Gaokan not only regained two roads in Hebei.
At the same time, Yang Zhi led troops to Hedong Road and recovered many places such as Cizhou, Xiangzhou, and Zezhou in Longde Prefecture.
Lu Zhishen led his troops to the direction of Bianjing, recaptured Kaidefu, Anli Army Weizhou and other places, and his troops went straight to the Gyeonggi Road.
However, after entering Gyeonggi Road, Gaokan ordered Lu Zhishen to stop going south, stationed troops and horses in the recovered areas, and sent selected personnel to manage it.
On the contrary, Yang Zhi's soldiers and horses went to Hedong Road and told them to continue marching.
Instead of gathering the entire Hedong Road, the troops and horses continued. At the same time, Lin Chong, who had just joined Cao Qi in the Guangxin Army, was dispatched with 50,000 troops and horses to march along the northern border towards Daizhou.
After the troops entered Daizhou, they quickly turned south to join Yang Zhi's troops.
After all the arrangements were made, Gaokan asked Wu Song to lead the troops to Shandong to recover Yunzhou, Jezhou and other places.
The reason why Wu Song was asked to lead the troops to Shandong was specifically to capture Yunzhou and Jeju. Gaokan's consideration was actually Liangshan's idea.
Since the Jin army went south, before conquering Bianliang, the army passed Liangshan.
At the beginning, Liangshan soldiers and horses also fought against the Jin army, and even lured the Jin army into the eight hundred miles of water, where they strangled many Jin army soldiers and horses.
As a result, Chao Gai, the leader of Liangshan, asked the Jin army to kill him, and Song Jiang took advantage of the situation and became the boss of Liangshan.
After that, Liangshan was besieged and retaliated by the Jin army. Under the crushing force of the army, Song Jiang, the dog thief, actually led the people in Liangshan to surrender to the Jin army.
Now in that area, Liangshan's men and horses have become the minions of the Jin people.
Gao Kan knew that there must be many people in Liangshan who were unwilling to follow Song Jiang, join the Jin people, and become traitors.
Therefore, if Wu Song is allowed to lead the troops, as long as Yunzhou and Jezhou are recovered, Liangshan will be encircled, and it will be a matter of time before they win.
Gaokan needs a lot of talents from Liangshan to be used by him, and this is easy to do.
After Wu Song led the troops out, it only took him two months to complete all the tasks assigned to him by Gaokan.
Liangshan finally fell into the hands of Gao Kan, and after waiting for another ten days, he met the people from Liangshan in Daming Mansion.
Those die-hards around Song Jiang who had devoted themselves to serving the Jin people and had done many evil things had been ordered to be killed by Wu Song. Most of the remaining ones were the ones Gaokan had given Wu Song the list in advance.
There are also some who lived before Liangshan but were unwilling to join the ranks of Song Jiang.
The rest of the people are not important. The most important thing in Gaokan is to meet Yunlong Gongsun Sheng. This man is definitely a great talent.
What surprised Gao Kan was that among the people who came over, there was another person who he had not thought of before, who should be an absolute loyalist to Song Jiang. This person was Black Tornado Li Kui.
It turned out that Li Kui resented Song Jiang for being a traitor and even wanted to kill Song Jiang several times on Liangshan.
Song Jiang thought Li Kui was still useful, so he kept him but imprisoned him until Li Kui figured it out.
As a result, Li Kui figured out that he did not wait, but instead waited for Wu Song's army first.
After the army went up the mountain, they naturally released Li Kui, and Wu Song arranged for them to be sent to Gaokan together with the rest of the people who could be left in Liangshan.
Although this guy Li Kui is not a good person and is cruel and murderous, he is a fierce general.
It's hard to say anything else. It will definitely be very useful for attacking and killing those gold thieves in the future.
But to suppress this person, you need a person who is very skilled in martial arts. The first thing Gao Kan thought of was Lu Junyi, so he directly gave him the person.
It happened that Gaokan also planned to use his troops tentatively to the north, so he gave Lu Junyi more than 10,000 troops, along with Suo Chao and Li Kui, and Gongsun Sheng as their military advisor, and headed north.
The situation in the world is still changing, and the decisive battle between Xixia and Jin finally broke out.
At the end of the second year after the Jin people conquered Bianliang, a decisive battle broke out between the Xixia army and the Jin army. However, the final result of this battle was that both sides suffered losses.
In the end, Xixia and Jin had to withdraw their troops at the same time, and the two sides also signed a temporary peace treaty to non-aggression.
However, there is no such thing as a covenant. There is a precedent for the Jin people to tear up their covenant with the Song Dynasty and brazenly go south. Naturally, there is not much credibility.
The Xixia people are not fools. They know that the Jin people are only retreating temporarily. After they gather new strength, they will definitely attack again, so they are fully prepared at the border.
The Jin people were also worried that Xixia would suddenly betray the alliance and attack them while they were not paying attention.
As a result, the two countries put more energy on guarding against each other, and had no energy to manage the situation on the Song Dynasty.
It took many miles to finally capture Hebei and Hedong, and the situation in the south was finally as expected from the beginning.
For more than a year, the three countries of Qi, Yue, and Wu had a tacit agreement not to care about each other. They first attacked the small nearby forces with all their strength, and eventually annexed almost all other forces in the south.
The situation of the three countries' divide and rule began to become more and more tense as the surrounding areas that could be annexed became smaller and smaller.
Gaokan deliberately left Tokyo Bianliang untouched, originally wanting to wait for one of the Three Kingdoms to attack first.
Because she controlled the entire land of Hebei and severed the connection between the land occupied by the Jin people and the Jin Kingdom, those places gradually fell into a situation of autonomy.
And without the help of the Jin people, their own strength is considered very weak.
Even the Jin people who originally stayed in the local area to look after the soldiers and horses were eventually killed by local people who were interested. In fact, these places gradually formed a situation of warlord separatism.
In the third year, Gaokan began a large-scale operation.
