my wonderful zoo

Chapter 166 Interweaving
April [-]th.

Wanyan Zonghan looked at the cavalry in the north of Fengqiu City, who were entering Fengqiu City through the pontoon bridge, and was very puzzled in his heart. Could it be that the King Qin's army in Fengqiu City had increased their troops again?But where did they get so many good horses?

"It looks like it's the Chen family's cavalry army that has been harassing us before." Wanyan Zongwang said.

"How did you tell the difference?" Wanyan Zonghan asked.

"Looking at their uniforms, weapons and horses, they are all the same as the Chen family's horse army. Moreover, I don't believe there is a second horse army in the world that is composed entirely of thousands of miles of horses." Wanyan Zongwang replied.

The Mongolian horse enhanced by the wonderful zoo can indeed be called a thousand-mile horse.

"One more thing, brother, look at their flags." Wanyan Zongwang reminded.

Wanyan Zonghan took a closer look and saw the word Chen embroidered on the flag.

"It's really possible."

"Why did they come to Fengqiu?" Wanyan Zongwang asked in confusion.

"Did he know that our siege equipment was about to be assembled, so he came back to help defend the city?" Wanyan Zonghan guessed.

In this era, it was very time-consuming to assemble large siege equipment during expeditionary operations.Because there are very few people with this skill, [-]% of ordinary people are illiterate.

"I came here just in time and wiped them all out." Wanyan Zongwang said viciously.

"It's not yet certain that the cavalry that entered the city is the cavalry that was roaming in Kaifeng before. We can't draw conclusions early." Wanyan Zonghan waved his men over: "You arrange for the cavalry to disperse and check whether the Chen's cavalry is still there." not there."

"Yes!" At present, there are only two to three hundred cavalry left in the Jin army, all of which are messengers and scouts who have not participated in the battle before.

The distance between Kaifeng and Fengqiu is very close for the cavalry on horseback. The news quickly came back. The scouts roughly turned around in the east, west and north directions of Kaifeng City, but no Chen family horses were found. traces of the army.

The two marshals of the Jin Army should have been happy, but the bad news that followed completely ruined their mood.

The Song army in Kaifeng "rebeled".

In the eyes of the Jin people, it was "rebellion" for the surrendered Song army to wave their swords again!
Although the inner city of Kaifeng has not been lost yet, Fengqiu must send troops back to suppress the rebellion, which made the two of them very angry.But it is impossible not to send troops back, otherwise it will only be a matter of time before the inner city of Kaifeng is lost.

There are still 80 million Song people in Kaifeng City. If these Song soldiers are encouraged to resist the Jin people, it will be a very powerful force.

"Let me go back to Kaifeng. I will go back today and kill all the Song soldiers tomorrow. Then I can return here the day after tomorrow." Wanyan Zongwang said. In his concept, the weak Song soldiers in Kaifeng have no fighting power at all.

"I don't think it's that simple." Wanyan Zonghan shook his head.

"What else could be going on here?" Wanyan Zongwang was puzzled.

"As soon as we mobilized all the elites in Kaifeng City, the Song soldiers rebelled. It just so happened that the Chen Jiajun cavalry entered Fengqiu City." Wanyan Zonghan organized the coincidental events of the past few days: "You have Have you ever considered where the weapons used by the Song soldiers during their rebellion came from?"

"Yes, we stripped all those Song soldiers naked at that time." Wanyan Zongwang also realized that there was something fishy.

"How could thousands of spears enter the camp where Song soldiers were imprisoned without anyone noticing?" Wanyan Zonghan asked.

"Brother is saying that there is a ghost in Kaifeng City?" Wanyan Zongwang suddenly realized.

In their opinion, as long as they are not Jurchens, they may become moles, and they cannot be completely trusted.

Now the Jurchen soldiers have followed them to Fengqiu, and the Jin soldiers who stayed in Kaifeng are more complicated.It was originally intended to allow them to check and balance each other, but instead it led to a mole inside.

"So, you must be careful when you go back. Try to use the Jurchen soldiers you brought back to do things. There is no need to rush back to Fengqiu. You must first ensure the stability of Kaifeng City." Wanyan Zonghan warned. "Brother agrees for me to go?" Wanyan Zongwang thought Wanyan Zonghan didn't agree just now.

"The war has developed to the current situation and something like this happened. How can I believe other people." Wanyan Zonghan explained.

"Well, brother, don't worry. I will definitely handle this matter safely." Since the joining of forces, the two of them have not divided their forces. Wanyan Zonghan has always had the main say. Wanyan Zongwang is looking forward to returning to Kaifeng this time. "trip".

……

In a market town fifteen miles north of Kaifeng.

Chen Xun caught Meng Gu who fell from the sky. The two communicated for a while and briefly understood what Meng Gu saw.

"Notice, gather immediately!" Chen Xun ordered, and the guards immediately rushed out of the resting room to convey the order.

"Captain, are the Jin people here?" Sun Zheng listened to Chen Xun's order and quickly sat up from the floor, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"Come here. Meng Gu can't describe exactly how many people there are. We have to send a detective horse immediately to confirm." Chen Xun explained, and after speaking, he recruited a few more personal guards:

"Immediately send a message to Pei Ren and tell Zhang Shuye that the Jin army in the inner city of Kaifeng will soon send troops out of the city, so that they can seize the opportunity."

"Accept orders!"

"Send a message to Ke Lei and ask the reinforcements coming from Xuzhou to change their route. Instead of going to Fengqiu, they will enter the Bianhe River and come directly to Kaifeng."

“Take the order!”…

A series of orders were passed on, and the guards next to him also brought Chen Xun's equipment.

"Captain, do you want to inform the Zhengzhou side so that King Qin's army over there will also come over to help defend the city?" Sun Zheng suggested.

If the plan goes well, Kaifeng City will change hands today, and it is likely to become the center of future Jin-Song wars and will withstand the main attack of the Jin people.

"No notice for the time being. Ke Lei can only transport [-] troops at a time, which is barely comparable to Zhang Shuye's troops. If Zhengzhou's personal guards come, we will definitely lose the right to speak over Kaifeng City." Chen Xun did not agree with Sun Zheng. This advice.

As the old saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes.

Before, Chen Xun went north just to make a fortune and then go back.

Later, as the war developed, it changed to establishing a base in the lower reaches of the Yellow River and developing directly in the north.

Now, it is possible to get involved in Kaifeng City.

Kaifeng's geographical location is actually very unsuitable as a base for early development in troubled times, because there are no dangers to defend on all sides. But looking from a distance, the lack of dangers to defend means convenient transportation, which is very conducive to development.

If you think about Zhengzhou's position in the national railway network in later generations, you can know how advantageous its geographical location is.

Chen Xun was very hesitant about whether to take over Kaifeng. The future development could only be decided step by step.

You know, although Kaifeng is good, there are millions of Qin Wang soldiers gathered around it. These Qin Wang soldiers may be timid when facing the Jin people, but they will never be timid when facing the Chen Jiajun who "also belong to" the Song Dynasty.

Even if I barely occupy Kaifeng now, how to face the millions of King Qin's army in the future will become a very difficult problem.
