Two large armies surrounded the city, and the city was in chaos now. Li Dao took almost all the soldiers away. There were only some old and weak soldiers left in Xiangyang City, and they could not defend the huge Xiangyang City at all.

After Zhang Xian and Wu Lin met, they took the initiative to give up their position as coach. In theory, his status is comparable to Wu Lin's status, but Wu Lin is a senior after all, and deserves his respect.

Wu Lin said politely and agreed. Their two armies had a total of 200,000 troops and launched an attack on Xiangyang from all directions.

The army in Xiangyang was few, and the guard was Li Dao's deputy general Hu Qing. Hu Qing now had only 5,000 men and even the city was not satisfied. He wanted to mobilize the people in the city to help defend the city, but the order was boycotted.

Under the care of Wei Sheng, the land of Jingxiang has fled in large numbers and joined the Kaiping Army. The living conditions of these people have been passed on in the Kaiping Army, which makes the rest yearn for it.

This time, the Kaiping Army finally came, and we will resist again. Isn’t this stupid?

Hu Qing's order was passed on, but there were only a few people to respond, and no one came to respond. Hu Qing couldn't help but sigh: "People's hearts are turned on, but people's hearts are turned on!"

"Sir, what should we do? Should we send someone to catch these people?"

Hu Qing sighed and said, "Forget it, these people have arrived at the city. Do you think they will help us defend the city? It would be good if we don't do it! Let's do our best to leave it to fate!"

Hu Qing had no way to bring the army to the city. Seeing the dark Kaiping Army below, he felt nervous.

Wu Lin urged him to come forward and shouted loudly: "Where is Hu Qing? Come out and talk!"

Hu Qing stepped forward and said, "Who is the one below, Hu Qing, a certain family?"

Wu Lin shouted loudly: "A certain family's deputy commander of the North Road Army of Kaiping Army and acting commander of the Southwest Army, Wu Lin and Hu Qing, I have also heard of your name from Commander Yue of the North Road Army of the North Road Army. Commander Yue also highly praised you and Li Dao, hoping that I can go out of the way.

Hu Qing, you have followed Yue Shuai for a long time and know his character. Since he even gave up on the Song Dynasty, do you still have to work hard for that foolish monarch?"

"This--" Hu Qing was speechless by him. Yes! Even General Yue surrendered to the Kaiping Army. What is the meaning of our persistence?

When Wu Lin saw Hu Qing hesitation, he laughed and said, "Hu Qing, I can give you three days to consider, or I can tell you, don't count on Liu Qi's reinforcements. I have arranged for Wei Sheng and Zhang Jie to stop him. He is sad even if he has wings."

Hu Qing watched the Kaiping Army withdraw his troops and return to the camp, and then saw that his troops were all depressed. Theirs were all the Yue family army. After Wu Lin moved out of Yue Fei, they felt that they were now against General Yue, which made them unable to accept anything they said.

"Go back to the city!" Hu Qing sighed and slowly returned to the mansion with his army. Hu Qing summoned all his subordinates and began to discuss what to do next?

Everyone has different opinions from each sentence, and no one can make up their minds.

Hu Qing sighed and said, "Everyone, Wu Lin has moved out General Yue. Will our army still fight against them? Xiangyang cannot be defended! What are the solutions for everyone?"

When everyone heard this, Hu Qing looked at each other. What else can I discuss about this? So everyone changed the subject and agreed to surrender.

Hu Qing nodded then, and then ordered people to go out of the city to contact Wu Lin to present to Xiangyang.

When Zhang Xian saw Hu Qing's envoy, he raised a thumbs up at Wu Lin and said, "Commander Wu is really amazing. Hu Qing surrendered in one sentence, which saved us a lot of trouble and reduced a lot of casualties."

Wu Lin sighed and said, "This is not my credit, it is all Commander Yue's ability. Commander Yue's image has been deeply embedded in the hearts of every soldier of these Yue's army. I heard that they would never take action if they wanted to fight Commander Yue's army."

Zhang Xian also sighed deeply. He had also learned military tactics with Yue Fei for a long time, and he also admired Yue Fei's ability very much.

"Only the prince can beat him and use him well for people like Commander Yue. The others are much worse."

Wu Lin nodded, then replied with a letter and handed it to the envoy to discuss giving it to Xiangyang tomorrow.

Hu Qing did not make any tricks, and the next day he really offered Xiangyang. Wu Lin received the seal from the Xuanfu envoy of the six counties of Jingxiang and asked someone to write a letter to order several other places to surrender.

When these people saw that Li Dao was dead, Hu Qing also surrendered, and the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty were delayed and could not arrive for a long time, so they all surrendered quickly. Wu Lin and Zhang Hengman occupied the six counties of Jingxiang without bloodshed.

Later, Wu Lin sent troops to garrison all over the place, and he and Zhang Xian led the army down to the heart of the Song Dynasty.

Liu Qi and Wei Sheng and Zhang Jie did not win several battles, and he was also blocked in the south of Jingzhou. It was difficult to move forward. He watched Wu Lin and Zhang Xian sweep Jingxiang, and then the army came straight to him.

Liu Qi concluded that he could never win, so he had no choice but to lead the army to retreat and preserve his strength. Wu Lin, Zhang Xian and Wei Sheng divided their troops into three groups and chased them closely behind. None of the prefectures and prefectures along the way dared to resist, and they opened the city to surrender.

The Kaiping Army's army was like a sweeping mat, and soon arrived at the city of Lin'an, the capital of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Gou has not yet turned aside. His army had won a great victory just now. He killed the Wu Jie of the Kaiping Army and had already counterattacked Xichuan. Why did he suddenly collapse? The enemy's army has already reached the city?

At this time, Zhao Gou thought of escaping again, and wanted to escape to the sea. He went to the sea to hide for a while, waiting for the Kaiping Army to retreat, and then he came back to continue to dominate the king.

Liu Qi and others thought it was impossible, so he knelt down on the ground and kept kowtowing upwards and said, "Your Majesty, no! The Jin people are different from the Kaiping Army. The Jin people are not good at water battles and are not our opponents when they go to the sea. However, the Kaiping Army is the world's most powerful country in water battles. If Your Majesty insists on telling the sea, wouldn't it be like sending a sheep into the mouth of a tiger?"

After hearing this, Zhao Gou was a little hesitant. Liu Qi was right. If he was surrounded by the enemy at the sea, he would be really no way to heaven and no way to the earth!

But what can I do if I don’t leave? Stay in Lin'an, surrounded by the enemy, and was captured by the Kaiping Army like his father and brother, and then suppressed until Zhending was humiliated by them?

"What good friends do you have?" Zhao Gou had no choice but to glance at the civil and military ministers around him.

The ministers were like wooden chickens, with their eyes wide open and they couldn't say a foolish sentence. Wang De, Zhao Mi and other generals shouted to defend Lin'an to the death. Theirs all thought that the walls of Lin'an were tall and they had more than 100,000 troops under their command, so they could fight the enemy to the death.

Qin Hui and others held the opposite argument. They believed that the Kaiping army was in full swing, and even the Great Jin Kingdom that swept the world was no match for them. They should find a way to retreat first, and wait until the enemy's spirit dissipated and then come back and take back Lin'an in one go.

"Prime Minister, we had the Yangtze River to block the enemy and the sea as a way to retreat. Today, I would like to ask the Prime Minister, where can we still want to avoid it?"

Qin Hui was silent for a while and suddenly said, "We can go to Yazhou! Where is the wilderness? The Kaiping Army is a northerner. It will definitely not be able to adapt to the environment and cause major patients. This is our opportunity. Taking advantage of the invasion of the Kaiping Army by the patients, we can avenge our previous shame."

"Yazhou?" Everyone looked at each other after hearing this. It was not a good place, but a place where prisoners were exiled in all dynasties.

In the fifth year of Kaibao in the Song Dynasty (972), the fifth year of Kaibao in the Song Dynasty (972), and Zhenzhou was changed to Yazhou. In the sixth year of Xining (1073), Qiongzhou was established as Qiongguanfufu, and the general ruled the current Hainan area. Yazhou was surrendered to the Zhuya Army, and the county was under the Qiongguanfufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufu

In the seventh year of Zhenghe (1117), the Zhuya Army was changed to the Jiyang Army. In the sixth year of Shaoxing (1136), the Jiyang Army was abolished into a county and was under Qiongzhou.

In this wilderness, if the Kaiping Army goes to the countryside, they may not be able to get better if they go there. Moreover, the ancestors of the Song Dynasty abandoned the power of the 400 military states and conquered the four hundred military states. Could it be that they were all lost?

"Let's discuss this matter again!" Even Zhao Gou, a coward, dared not speak casually. He also understood that regaining his hometown was a lie. As long as he left, he would definitely never come back.

"Please arrange for someone to discuss with the Kaiping Army, and say we are going to surrender. Let's take a look at the news. Also, send someone to contact Princess Kaiping and Princess Fuguo. Please give them a few words from China.

Zhang Jun and Liu Qi, you must also prepare for the troops to prevent the Ping army from attacking, and it is best to be able to repel them."

"Yes!" Qin Hui, Zhang Jun and others had no choice but to bow and accept the order. Let the queen arrange for someone to prepare.

After Li Yanxian and Zhang Xian occupied Jiankang, they suggested to Gao Chong to take advantage of the victory to destroy the Song Dynasty. After discussing with Gao Chong and others, they ordered Wu Lin from the Southwest Army to attack Hunan, Wei Sheng and Zhang Jie to take Jiangxi to cut off the connection between the Southern Song Dynasty; ordered Hu Yantong Army to attack Yangzhou and block the Song army from the east and south of Huaidong. They ordered Li Yanxian and Zhang Xian to lead the main force to directly take Lin'an.

In October, Li Yanxian and Zhang Xian divided their troops into three routes to attack south in Zhenjiang; Guan Sheng, Guan Ling and his son were the right-wing troops, and led the infantry and cavalry to Jiankang and pass through Liyang, and Guangde to attack Dusong Pass.

Zhang Xian, deputy commander of the Southern Route Army, led some of the troops to the left Route Army, and led Li Jun and Zhang Rong's naval army through the Jiangyin Army (now Jiangyin, Jiangsu), Xupu (now northeast of Changshu, Jiangsu), and from sea route to Yanpu (now south of Haiyan, Zhejiang).
