Chen Gou just carried the coffin to go on the battle like this.

He assembled all the troops he could gather to fight towards Xuyi in a mighty manner.

Ten thousand cavalry.

Including 60,000 infantrymen fled south in Xuyi.

In fact, not many people turned against each other. Only 10,000 defenders turned against each other. The main reason was that they escaped too quickly and the publicity speed did not keep up.

At the same time, the 10,000 infantry stationed in Gaoyou, as well as the 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry divided from Haozhou, were also surrounding Xuyi from both left and right directions. In the end, the three routes combined nearly 100,000 troops...

Of course, there is moisture.

It is impossible to have no moisture, how could my Song Dynasty official army be without moisture?

Everyone always has to eat.

However, because Chen Go has always had sufficient guarantees for food and salary, the situation of vacancies is much lighter than in the past imperial guards. The book number of 95,000 must have 70,000 or 80,000, especially the 10,000 cavalry is a real number. Or it should be a real number. The great painter repeatedly warned the Liu family father and son to have real number, and for this purpose, he specially gave the Liu family an additional sum of money every year. In short, they were asked not to eat vacancies in the army.

This cavalry is too important.

It was only 10,000 yuan, and if you earn 30% of the salary, how can you fight?

But the specific situation...

Anyway, Chen Gou didn't care about them and didn't know it very well.

Although this cavalry was under his command, it was under the Imperial Camp. The great painter did not rebuild the former guards of the Palace Front Office, but set up the Imperial Camp separately, with Gao Qiu as the Imperial Camp. This cavalry was the Imperial Camp Sima Army, commander Liu Guangshi.

In fact, there are also naval and infantry troops, and these two branches are commanded by Gao Qiu.

Liu Yanqing had no actual position at first. He just enjoyed the peace and prosperity at home with the signs of Taibao and Yan'an Prince. His eldest son Liu Guangguo was the commander of the Xuanfu Department of Huainan, and his other son Liu Guangneng was the commander of the Huainian Department of Huainian. His three sons all held heavy troops, so he could no longer hold real power. This was also the result of the infighting of the court after the great painter moved south.

After all, the civil officials were very alert to the Liu family.

Liu Yanqing's sons were all military leaders with military power, and he was asked to take charge of places like the Privy Council. The civil officials really couldn't stand it. The more he was like this, the more cautious he had to be. In the end, he was old and his sons were in power. The local Xuanfu envoys and the appeasement and establishment commanders had commands under the command of the government. They recruited troops from various places themselves, and eventually the army of various places was controlled by the civil officials to restrict Liu Yanqing and his son.

However, Liu Yanqing now has added the title of "Surveyor".

He is considered the imperial envoy of a great painter.

After all, now that his three sons are in battle, Chen Go may not be able to command if he doesn't take action!

Zhenjiang.

The great painter sat upright on the carriage.

There were countless cheering crowds on the streets on both sides, especially those students, who cheered enthusiastically to the brave Emperor.

The emperor personally commanded the army!

His Majesty the Emperor finally rose up.

At this moment, everyone forgot his deception. Perhaps he was deceived by Zhao Mingcheng, and also forgot his repeated escapes. After all, he was forced by the situation, and also forgot the various strange behaviors of their father and son fighting each other. After all, it was more contrary to Wang Yue's cruelty. In short, in the eyes of these officials, gentry and students who did not know the real situation, His Majesty the Emperor finally stood up and took responsibility at the last critical moment and chose to fight bravely like a real man.

More than a hundred years ago, his great-great-grandfather relied on the imperial army to protect the Song Dynasty, although he was seeking peace...

But if we can use the imperial commander to fight in person now, it would be fine to get a similar alliance!

After all, the officials and gentry in Jiangnan were not very interested in restoring the north. In fact, in their opinion, this is good at present.

In the past, I had to send six million stones of food a year.

But now there is no need to send food to the north, and there is no need to send commercial taxes from all over the country to the north. Although it still has to be paid, it has been returned to the gentry's pocket through circulation in Jiangnan. This kind of life is really good, that is, it has to maintain hundreds of thousands of troops and spend a lot of money. But if we can really force Wang Yue to negotiate and maintain the current situation through a victory, then the army can be completely reduced. After all, there are Jurchens behind Wang Yue. If this decisive battle fails, Wang Yue probably won't have the confidence to continue to fight.

In short, the cheering voices at the great painter at this moment were all from the heart, and the officials, gentry and the students really cheered for the emperor's rise...

The emperor's face was a little heavy.

Worry about the country and the people!

"The official family, Chen Go and Liu Yanqing have already gone north. It is said that Chen Go has prepared a coffin and will apologize if he is defeated in the battle."

Shi Rugang leaned over his shoulder and whispered.

"He is a loyal minister."

The great painter said slowly.

While speaking, he raised his hand and greeted the cheering crowd on both sides.

"Humber's move is ominous!"

Cai You said.

"I think it would not be a failure. According to Li Cong's report, the maximum number of bandits crossing the Huai River is 40,000, with more than 10,000 cavalry. Chen Go's troops are nearly 10,000, and there are also more than 10,000 cavalry. Liu Yanqing is also a long-time general on the battlefield. After all, it was not the leader of the traitor. Liu Yanqing and his son were afraid that Wang Yue would not come. They could still fight. The general of the bandit army was named Yang Weizhong. In fact, Wang Ni's confidant Yang Zaixing was said to be a small soldier in the original imperial guards. He may have some courage, but it may not be necessary to plan this strategy."

Shi Rugang said with a smile.

"Little soldiers, thieves, water bandits, these thieves are all these people!"

Cai You said contemptuously.

"Who will follow him to be accomplices of the tiger? The thief is the thief after all. This thief does his best to buy it. Are Zhong Shidao and others watching in Shaanxi?"

Shi Rugang said.

"These are not loyal ministers!"

Cai You said.

In fact, Zhong Shidao and others are already very interested. After all, if they really like Wang Yue, there will be no chance here.

"Loyalty!"

The great painter sighed.

At this time, Gao Qiu and others who were guarding them in front of them stopped.

The great painter's carriage immediately landed on the ground, and then he walked out with the help of Shi Rugang.

In front of us is the vast Yangtze River, with sails on the Yangtze River like forests, and his 20,000 troops of the Yangtze River Navy are all here.

This navy was commander Gao Qi's brother, commander Gao Shen. Gao Qi actually had three brothers, Gao Qi, Gao Shen, and Gao Jie. The one behind was of course the one behind. Gao Shen was the commander of the Imperial Camp and Gao Jie was the commander of the infantry. In addition, Liu Guangshi's commander of the horse army, they formed the Imperial Camp of the great painter. The commander of the horse army had led his subordinates to the north. Now the great painter personally led the infantry to cross the river under the navy transportation and went to Yangzhou to command the decisive battle. At this time, 30,000 infantrymen had already boarded the ship.

Just wait for him.

"Official family!"

A group of officials who saw off for the great painter quickly stepped forward.

At this time, his Dazai was the descendant of Lu Haowen, the Great Confucian, and the Great Confucian, but it was just a tablet to show the great painter's respect for Confucianism. After all, his trustworthy label made civil officials very disgusted, and he urgently needed a great Confucian to win people's hearts. However, in fact, the old man Lu, who was over 60 years old, was limited in ability. The real person was the Shaozai Li Hui, a native of Jiangning, and the commander of the epic defeated commander on the bank of the Yellow River in history. He was the commander of the Imperial Army in the Yellow River as the assistant secretary of the Privy Council.

After the great painter's real power was naturally seized by officials from Jiangnan after he traveled to the south.

Li Bangyan and others have been squeezed aside.

Lu Haowen was the signboard, and the real power belonged to the Shaozhao Li Hui, the Left Chief of the Shangshu Wu Kai, a native of Chuzhou, and the Right Chief of the Shangshu Sun Qi, a native of Changzhou, a member of the Privy Council, Song Huan, and the co-privy Council, Zhu Shengfei, and Xu Fen, a former from Caizhou, and the latter from Fujian, and his father Xu Jiang was the top scholar in the dynasty of Song Renzong.

"You guys, after I go north, I will leave this court to you."

The great painter supported Lu Haowen and said.

"Official family, the old minister asks the official family to clearly state among all the princes, which one should be the supervisor?"

Lu Haowen asked honestly.

The great painter's face turned bad in an instant. This old guy is too ignorant. What you mean is that you want to ask me who succeeds to the throne after I die. But he is also an old fox, and then he returned to normal. He ignored this old guy and instead held Li Hui's arm.

"Official family?"

Lu Haowen continued to ask straightforwardly.

Sun Wei inserted it between him and Li Hui without hesitation, pushing the older and ignorant guy aside.

"Please rest assured, the officials, I can only repay Your Majesty with tragic slap in my heart!"

Li Hui said.

Lu Haowen wanted to continue to squeeze forward, but Zhu Shengfei grabbed him kindly.

However, few people behind the scenes were not paid attention to. The great painter pulled these loyal ministers one by one to tell them to manage the court for themselves. In the end, he stepped on a giant ship in the farewell. Gao Qiu, Cai You and others boarded the ship together, while Tan Zhen stayed in Zhenjiang. Then the actual giant ship was rotating one by one, slowly sailing from the dock to the river. The end point was actually more than ten miles away, how far could it be from Jingkou to Guazhou.

"Why are you all? Your Majesty is in charge of the army, how can anyone not establish the prince's reign?"

Lu Haowen looked at the battleships getting farther and farther away, and the great painter who waved to the deck, and scolded the other ministers with dissatisfaction.

"Duke Shun, Your Majesty is just going to Yangzhou. What kind of supervision do you need to do in these dozens of miles? Just go to Yangzhou for any matters. What do you have to do with the prince?"

Li Hui said speechlessly.

"Your Majesty is going to fight. If Chen Hengbo is defeated, the bandits will surround Yangzhou in less than two days and do not establish a prince's supervisor. If there is any trouble, who will dominate the country?"

Lu Haowen said angrily.

"Duke Shun, why are you so stubborn? Your Majesty personally took charge of Yangzhou. Chen Hengbo's 100,000 troops were only against 30,000 to 40,000 bandits. How could he be defeated? Since Your Majesty has not answered, he is still sure to win. Are you afraid of disrupting the morale of the army after asking again and again?"

Wu Kai said unbearably.

"I'm talking about what if the country and the country are not allowed to be careless, Your Majesty..."

Lu Haowen said as he turned to look at the great painter.

"Well, why did your Majesty turn downstream?"

He said in shock.

Li Hui was shocked and instantly turned his gaze to the river surface...
