On May 12, the fourth year of Xuanhe, following the bloody battle in Jinan Prefecture, Wang You led his army to capture Liaocheng, Bozhou. It can be said that the imperial court's plan to eliminate Jingdong was completely shattered. There were only less than 60,000 northern troops out of an army of hundreds of thousands. Escape, trying to cross the Yellow River all the way to Dezhou and return to Damingfu.
However, Jinan Mansion made such a big sacrifice, and even Song Jiang personally served as a bait. Now Wang You, who has an army of 100,000, will let the remaining imperial army leave.
As early as the attack on Liaocheng, Wang You had already ordered Yanzhuo and Shi Jin to lead 10,000 troops each to garrison Linyi and Yucheng in Jinan Prefecture.
Linyi, Yucheng, and Jinan Prefecture formed a huge triangular formation, trapping all the remaining 60,000 imperial troops in Tong Guan's hands within Jinan Prefecture.
Therefore, when Tong Guan led the remaining army to Yucheng in panic, he was immediately ambushed by Shi Jin. After losing tens of thousands of horses again, he managed to escape and fled towards Linyi.
When Wang You captured Liaocheng, he immediately prepared to lead his army to Jinan to meet Song Jiang.
But Zhu Wu did give a different opinion. Although Jinan is important, only the first level generals need to be sent to support it at this time. The most critical thing for Jingdong now is Damingfu. Only by winning Damingfu can Jingdong be invincible. land.
This time Tong Guan led all the troops to attack Jingdong. Daming Mansion will definitely be empty and can be defeated in one battle. However, if it delays and gives the court time to react, it will be difficult to capture Daming Mansion with its solidity and foundation.
After a period of discussion, it was finally decided that Lin Chong would lead an army of 30,000 to Jinan, while Wang You and Zhu Wu would personally lead an army of 50,000 to attack Damingfu.
On this day, Lin Chong led the generals to Song Jiang in the Jinan government office.
"Meet my brother"
"Okay, okay" Song Jiang said happily. Looking at Lin Chong who had arrived, Lu Zhishen and others said happily: "If you don't come again, my life, Song Jiang's, will probably be taken away by Tong Guan!!"
When Lin Chong heard this, he immediately felt ashamed and said, "It's my incompetence that has wasted time."
Song Jiang shook his head, "You annihilated Liu Yanqing's and Wang Huan's armies, captured Liaocheng, and forced Tong Guan to withdraw his troops. You have made outstanding achievements."
"Brother is serious. If it weren't for him and the military advisor leading the army to defend Jinan, we would never have had such a chance." Lin Chong said seriously. When he came, he looked at the dilapidated towers and wounded soldiers everywhere. He knew very well that this The great victory did not lie with them at all, but with the Hundred Victory Army and Song Jiang's courage.
Song Jiang smiled and said, "Everyone has merit, everyone has merit. I heard that Tong Guan is trapped between Linyi and Yucheng."
"Yes, I plan to mobilize an army tomorrow and we will definitely capture Tong Guan alive!!" Lin Chong said seriously.
"Not only Tong Guan, but also Kang Wang Zhao Gou will be taken down," Song Jiang reminded.
"Yes!!" After Lin Chong said that, he quickly explained: "Brother, Qingzhi actually can't wait to come over, but because he is concerned about the overall situation, so..."
"Haha, don't worry, Qingzhi's decision is right," Song Jiang said with a smile.
"Yes, compared to Tong Guan, Daming Mansion is indeed more important. Qingzhi should have already arrived at Daming Mansion by this time. Daming Mansion is currently empty of troops and can definitely be captured. Only by capturing Daming Mansion can our army open up. It will be the gateway to the Central Plains in the future, and at the same time, it can be condescending and threaten the imperial capital at any time." At this time, Gongsun Sheng, whose face was still a little pale, said seriously.
"The military advisor is at ease, Qingzhi will definitely not give in." Hearing this, Lin Chong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Qingzhi is my Jingdong Army God. I sent Peng Ju and Shaoyang over without even noticing." Song Jiang smiled.
"Brother is wise," Lin Chong said, and suddenly said seriously: "By the way, brother, there is one more thing I want to tell you."
"What's wrong?" Song Jiang asked curiously.
"This time we were able to completely annihilate Wang Huan and Liu Yanqing's armies, not only because of the sacrifice of the soldiers, but also because of brothers Yang Zhi."
"Yang Zhi?" Song Jiang frowned.
Lin Chong immediately told what happened to Liu Yanqing, looked at Song Jiang, whose face turned gloomy, and said sadly: "In order to complete the mission, the garrison was held back by three thousand people without any defense. Liu Yanqing had more than 20,000 people and launched a three-day fierce attack!!"
"In the end, when my brother and his army arrived, only less than two hundred people survived. Ma Lin died in the battle, Han Tao was seriously injured, and brother Yang Zhi was hit by three arrows. If he hadn't been strong, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on. Guan Shan This battle was really the most brutal battle besides Jinan Mansion!"
After hearing this, the faces of everyone around him suddenly changed.
"What about Liu Yanqing??" Song Jiang said coldly after hearing this,
"He was stabbed to death by my brother. This fight was all due to my poor thinking," Lin Chong immediately apologized.
After Lu Zhishen waited and looked, he quickly knelt down and worshiped.
When Song Jiang saw it, he immediately shook his head and sighed: "Although we won, we also suffered heavy losses."
"What my brother said is true. In addition, not only the personnel, but also more than half of the materials and food we raised were lost in this battle. If we can't successfully capture the treasury of Daming Mansion, I'm afraid we will be sad this year." Chai Jin said with a few points said sadly.
When Song Jiang heard this, he said seriously: "Now it's up to Qingzhi!!"
. . . .
On May 16, good news reached Song Jiang. Daming Mansion was captured, and everyone was taken away by Tong Guan. Daming Mansion, with less than a few thousand people, was unable to stop the attack of Wang You's 50,000-strong victorious army. , Liang Zhongshu was so frightened that he led his troops and fled in panic. This so-called companion capital of the Song Dynasty finally fell into the hands of Song Jiang.
"Okay, okay, Daming Mansion has been taken, and the big stone in my heart has been put down." Song Jiang looked at the civil and military forces in front of him and said happily. With Daming Mansion as a strong city, even if the imperial court mobilizes a hundred thousand troops, it will not be able to do anything. There is nothing to be afraid of, not to mention that the court cannot mobilize him at all now.
In addition, by winning Daming Mansion, Song Jiang also had the upper hand in the overall strategic situation.
"Now it's up to Lin Chong and the others. Tong Guan and Zhao Gou are good chess pieces," Gongsun Sheng said with a smile.
"Military advisor, do you think we can go one step further?" Chai Jin suddenly hesitated to speak in anticipation.
Gongsun Sheng understood what he meant when he saw it. He shook his head slightly and said, "It's not possible now. People in the world still have feelings for the Song Dynasty. As Liang Qiao said, it's better not to throw this flag away for the time being. Throw it away." To win is to start from scratch. In addition, Jingdong has experienced this battle. Although we have won a great victory, we urgently need time to recuperate. The soldiers are already very tired."
"What the military advisor said is true. In addition, Bianjing is of little significance to us at this time. It may even become a thorn in our side." Song Jiang nodded and said, "By the way, is there any news from Jiangnan?"
"not yet"
When Song Jiang heard this, he said seriously: "Although we have won a great victory, Jiangnan still cannot afford to lose anything. He immediately sent people to investigate, hoping that they can also win!!"
"yes!!"
"In addition, an order was immediately sent to appoint Qingzhi as the general guarding the Daming Prefecture, Zhu Wu as the prefecture magistrate, Chen Dong as the general magistrate, and Yue Fei as the commander of the Military and Horse Division. At the same time, he notified Jingdong Prefecture to send people over as quickly as possible to stabilize the situation as quickly as possible. People’s hearts!”
"yes"
