Zhao Ning's letters to Huazhou, Xiangzhou and Damingfu were sent out.

And in order to ensure that the front line could receive it, he prepared multiple copies to send out.

After thinking about it, Zhao Ning sent another copy to Handan, Cizhou, and even Kaide Mansion next door to Huazhou and Luozhou next door to Cizhou.

And they are all prepared in multiple copies.

What is multiple copies?

It's just a state, and eight people are sent there with eight copies.

December 1st, the twelfth lunar month of winter, with heavy snow.

The entire north of the Yellow River was covered in a vast expanse of white, as if it had swallowed up all living things.

Outside Xingzhou City, a row of Song troops were kneeling.

Jin Jun raised his sword and dropped it. Immediately, heads were rolling, and a long strip of blood was dyed red, and bright red blood flowers bloomed in the snow.

"Li Cheng! You betrayed the Song Dynasty and betrayed Commander-in-Chief Zong. You will not die well!" Wang Zhi, the Marquis of Yu in Xingzhou City, knelt in the snow and shouted loudly.

Li Cheng laughed loudly and said: "Yuhou, the capital of the king, see for yourself how Xingzhou City was destroyed! It was the general who opened the city and escaped to break it. With such a general and such a great Song Dynasty, do you think there is still hope?"

"

"traitor!"

"Hey, Brother Wang, just listen to my advice and you can still survive by surrendering."

Wang Zhi also burst out laughing: "Surrender? I came south from Zhongshan Mansion. Do you know about Zhongshan Mansion?"

Li Cheng looked at him with a sneer on his face, and there seemed to be some pity in his eyes.

"Chen Hengbo defended Zhongshan for one year and two months and died for his country!" Wang Zhi's voice was filled with infinite tragedy, "I will never surrender!"

Li Cheng's expression turned cold.

The Chen Hengbo Wang Zhi mentioned was Chen Bong, the guard of Zhongshan Prefecture.

Chen Bong guarded Zhongshan Mansion from July last year to the end of August this year without ever surrendering.

Like Taiyuan, Zhongshan was surrounded and became a dead city, isolated and helpless.

All the elites in the Song Dynasty who could fight were wiped out. Even after the siege of Bianjing was relieved, the court could not know the situation in Zhongshan because all the intelligence could not reach Zhongshan.

In the official history, Tokyo fell, but Chen Bon still refused to surrender, and was eventually killed by traitors, killing all 17 members of his family.

Even after the Jin army entered the city and saw Chen Bon's body, they all respected him and buried him generously.

Wang Zhi came all the way south from Zhongshan and joined the center line defense.

"You are just a small commander. There is no need to die for the country. The Zhao Guan family in Tokyo City does not know you, and neither does Zong Shuai!"

Li Cheng seemed to be angry. He went over and grabbed Wang Zhi's collar: "And let me tell you, most of the military pay in Xingzhou City was embezzled by Liu Guangshi, and even the food and grass were taken away by him! You are not his, what are you?

If you don’t get it, he won’t even take you with him to escape!”

"What's the point of being loyal to a Song Dynasty like this! What's the point of being loyal to him!"

Wang Zhi just looked at Li Cheng calmly and said: "When the war has reached this point, we can only die to apologize!"

Li Cheng's whole body trembled and he became even more angry: "Behead!"

On the morning of December 2, Li Cheng and his people arrived in Handan.

He was holding three human heads in his hand, including Wang Zhi's.

"Finally, I will meet General Wushu!"

Wanyan Wushu glanced at him and said with a smile, "Forgive me."

"General! These are the heads of the three governors of Xingzhou City!"

He opened the bag and placed the three heads in front of him.

"Anyone who refuses to surrender will be killed without mercy!" Even in front of Wanyan Wushu, Li Cheng looked fierce, with the veins on his forehead popping out. "Those who surrender will be given food and incorporated into the army!

"

Han Chang on the side whispered in Wanyan Wushu's ear: "Eight thousand heads were piled outside Xingzhou City, and now the rest have surrendered."

"Good! You did a good job!" Wanyan Wushu was overjoyed, "I will never treat anyone who is willing to be loyal to me, Daijin, badly. All the surrendered troops in Xingzhou City will be enlisted under your command!"

"Thank you General!"

Li Cheng was an awesome person. In the late Northern Song Dynasty, this guy was so fierce that even the incomplete Yue Fei might not be able to defeat him.

This man has only one characteristic in fighting: ruthlessness!

Very cruel!

He is also very ambitious and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

Wu Shu asked casually: "What good plan do you have for attacking Handan?"

Li Cheng said confidently: "Handan, Cizhou, Xiangzhou, and Huazhou all have food for more than half a year, and all the elites trained by Zongze are stationed here. If we want to defeat them one by one, it will probably take more than three months."

"If that's the case, I'm afraid it won't be until February next year to arrive in Tokyo."

"The Yellow River thawed in February and the difficulty of crossing the river increased. The general thought that there was no need to waste time in Hebei!"

Han Chang on the side said angrily: "You are brave! You, a surrendered general who has just surrendered, dare to point fingers at His Highness!"

Wu Shu said: "Hey, let him say whatever he wants, as long as he is right!"

"General, you can cross the Yellow River south and march to the city! All the armies in Hebei will mobilize in full force to cross the river to help the king. When the time comes, they will besiege the city and bring reinforcements. The Song army will be vulnerable in a field battle!"

"Okay, you're right, this is what I plan to do!" Wu Shu seemed to be very satisfied with Li Cheng. He saw the burning ambition in Li Cheng's eyes. This kind of person is best suited for the battlefield.

"Li Cheng, you quickly organize your troops and horses, go south with me, and besiege Bianjing!"

"yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scout's voice suddenly came from outside: "Report!"

"Enter!"

The scout came in from outside and said, "Report to Your Highness that we have intercepted the Song Army's intelligence."

"Oh, bring it here!"

This information was exactly what Zhao Ning wrote to the armies of Hebei.

He speculated that there were three types of Wushu behavior, and deduced the possibility of confrontation between the two armies.

Handan City was under siege at this time. Why did Zhao Ning send people to deliver information to Handan City? Isn't this clearly giving information to the enemy?

That's right, I just want to send the information to the enemy!

I just like to play the bright cards!

Given the current situation between the two armies, any attempt to win by surprise is of no use at all.

The Song army was short of horses, so they came up with a surprising force?

impossible.

Human legs can't outrun a horse's legs!

Let Wanyan Wushu know the various situations that will follow and let him choose how to fight.

In this way, every time he plays a game, as long as he cannot win, the psychological burden will increase by one point.

The longer time passes, the heavier his psychological burden becomes.

After Wu Shu read it, his expression instantly changed.

People around were very surprised and asked why.

Wu Shu then narrated this content, and after finishing speaking, the camp fell into a strange silence.

Especially Li Cheng, who just now proposed crossing the Yellow River south to besiege Bianjing, but this information about the Song army has already deduced their plan.

Not only that, other possibilities are deduced and countermeasures are given.

Han Chang said: "Your Highness, who wrote this information?"

Wu Shi said with a chill: "It was given by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to the garrison in Hebei."

The camp fell into a brief dead silence again.

Li Cheng suddenly said: "General, all the emperors of the Song Dynasty did not know how to fight. His deduction is just talk on paper."

"How do you say this?"

"He said that our army would defeat the armies in Hebei one by one and then move south to the Yellow River. He was sure that our army would suffer serious losses, so he dared to go out of the city to fight with our army in the field. The key to victory in this game was not his calculation, but the field strength of the two armies.
