In the Yamen of Xihe Mansion, Song Xi was having a meeting with a group of subordinates.

It has been two days since they captured this place, and the current situation is under control. They still need to discuss the next steps before making a sound decision.

Xihe Mansion is only more than 200 miles away from Jining, the provincial capital. It takes only two to three days of march to arrive smoothly. However, Jining Mansion has now gathered most of the troops from the entire Three Jin Dynasties. Whether to attack immediately and how to use the troops must be done.

What a thorough plan.

"How are the battles in other places? Did Feng Yu and Lei Bin encounter any trouble?"

Song Xi, who was sitting in the main seat, had a relaxed posture, and his handsome face looked calm and collected.

Jiandong recalled the news he received and replied conclusively: "The two of them have already captured several prefectures in the south and are still rectifying local affairs. The southern part of Sanjin happens to be bordering Yuzhou, so it may be necessary to deploy defenses."

Spend more energy.”

The mother clan of the second prince is quite powerful in Yuzhou. If the border defense is not careful, it may give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it. In addition, the strength of the three Jin Dynasties is currently unevenly distributed, so the Song family army has to leave some troops to guard the fortress.

Song Xi nodded when he heard this, and announced calmly: "Then we will rest in Xihe Mansion for three more days, and then continue north to attack Ji Ning. We will first send a few scouts to sneak into the enemy camp to investigate the situation, and then we will decide on the specific siege after understanding the situation clearly.

Strategy."

"Yes!" All the subordinates obeyed the order.

Jiandong thought for a while and raised another level of concern: "Master, over at Yunzhong Mansion...should we send a few secret agents to find out the details of Jiang Yecheng?"

Yunzhong Mansion is located in the northernmost part of the Three Jin Dynasties. It is an important border defense area at the junction of Dazhou and Yunchuan. The guard Jiang Yecheng is a confidant of Emperor Yuanfeng and has always been loyal to the royal family and the court.

Although Emperor Yuanfeng was stingy and harsh towards the northwest defenders, he always took good care of Jiang Yecheng and the Yunzhong frontier troops. He never deducted even half of their food, grass and military pay, and gave corresponding rewards to the opponents for every victory in a battle.

Jiang Yecheng was brave, good at fighting, stubborn, and extremely despised and disgusted with rebellious ministers and traitors. Song Xi could persuade the northwest generals to surrender with his righteousness and kindness, but he could not win over this fierce minister in the clouds as he did.

The Song family army wants to completely capture the three Jin Dynasties. Yunzhong Mansion and Jiang Yecheng are their biggest obstacles. The other side also has 100,000 elite soldiers and generals. A head-on conflict will inevitably start a fierce war.

Their powerful cannons do not want to be used on their compatriots. After intimidation, they usually use cold weapons to attack the city. After winning the battle, they always treat the prisoners preferentially and respect the other party's wishes to decide whether to stay or leave.

But in the face of a tough opponent like Jiang Yecheng, past experience may not be effective. No matter how powerful the Shenwu cannon is to shock people's hearts, the opponent's temperament will only fight to the death.

As a result, this war will inevitably produce a lot of bloodshed and sacrifices. While the Song army is attacking Yunzhong Mansion, they must also send troops to prevent the Tatars from taking advantage of the opportunity. If you want to win with both sides in mind, you must do something in advance.

Conduct a thorough investigation of the situation and then carefully plan a targeted combat strategy.

Song Xi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then agreed with his suggestion calmly.

"It's better to be prepared for a rainy day. Let's send a few secret guards to investigate in advance. Jiang Yecheng is indeed a strong enemy. If you can find something, it would be great. If you can't find something, don't force it. I have many ways to defeat him."

The most important thing at the moment is the war in Jining Prefecture. The Sanjin Province must be successfully captured first. The Yunzhong Prefecture can be discussed later. After occupying most of Sanjin Prefecture, we can solve the most difficult problem.

All the generals breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and after the meeting ended, they each started busy with the tasks at hand.

Song Xi handled the military and political affairs of the new territory as usual, and had to take time to inspect the Song family's army's drills every day.

He never slacked off in preparing troops and horses, and he would prepare seriously for battle no matter how secure the victory was.

On the other side, inside Jining Mansion.

Princess Yongning was furious when she learned about the fighting situation on the front line.

Song Xi's proactive counterattack exceeded her expectations. She didn't expect that Ying Song would actually escape back to his home without a fight!

This was the first time she had seen such a ridiculous thing. How blind must her father be to choose this coward as an official?

"Trash! You are just an incompetent coward! You led an army of 100,000 people and didn't dare to fight head-on. You allowed that bandit Song Xi to invade the Three Jin Dynasties? Yingsong, are you tired of living? Or are you simply a remnant of the Song family?

A spy who wants to cooperate inside and outside to destroy all the fiefdoms of this palace?!"

Princess Yongning was so angry that she kept throwing the ornaments in the room at the man opposite.

The sound of breaking porcelain accompanied by sharp yelling irritated the eardrums and nerves of everyone in the room.

Ying Song jumped left and right to avoid attacks one after another, and became a little angry after hearing this.

"Your Highness, it's not that I don't dare to fight against Song Xi, but I don't have enough strength to resist. The opponent holds a mysterious weapon in his hand, which can blow people to ashes from dozens of miles away! Our soldiers are all

How can a flesh-and-blood body go head-to-head with such a terrifying iron lump? It’s better to withdraw our troops early and give up the plan of a bitter fight, and conserve our strength so that we can figure out how to save our lives!”

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and counterattacked vaguely.

"Sanjin is not actually your fiefdom. Even if it is lost, it will not have much impact on you..."

How could Emperor Yuanfeng grant such an important province to a useless daughter? Princess Yongning’s real fiefdom was only Hezhong Mansion.

However, with the tiger talisman in her hand, she thought she could be the master of the country, and naturally regarded the entire Sanjin as her own territory.

Ying Song felt very aggrieved. Being insulted by a real idiot in public was not only humiliating and uncomfortable. He wanted to retaliate but was also afraid of the power of the He family. Now he had to worry about saving his life.

I don’t know what kind of temper Song Xi will be. He must not be a tyrant who kills innocent people indiscriminately.

"Your Highness, how about we surrender voluntarily? I heard that the Song family army has always been known for its benevolence and righteousness. Whether it is true or not, it is definitely not... ah!"

Before he could finish his words, he was hit on the arm by the iron whip that struck quickly. The barbs on the whip instantly cut through the skin, and the bright red blood immediately dyed his clothes red.

The furious Princess Yongning whipped her whip wildly to vent her anger, with only hatred and anger on her distorted face.

"There is no way I surrender to that traitor! Song Xi deserves to die! The remnants of the Song family have no right to attack me! Go to the battlefield to meet the enemy and kill all those bullshit Song family troops! You should be relaxed, if you dare to run away again

If you fight, I will kill your whole family to worship the flag!"

Several faces behind her received the signal from her eyes and immediately stepped forward to catch Ying Song who was trying to escape.
