A golden flag with the Chinese character "Xu" of the Heavenly King was flying in the Beijing city of Damingfu. Most of the huge amount of supplies and food that the Jin people looted were stored in the Beijing city of Damingfu. Now they have all become the spoils of war of the Heavenly King Xu Xian's troops.

A large number of people looted by the Jin army were detained in the city and were properly resettled as soon as possible after the capture of the city. Most of the looted Yanzhao men had family members who died in the looting process of the Jin army. Naturally, they were full of hatred for the country and family. The brave Yanzhao men were naturally eager for revenge and expressed their willingness to join the team of the Heavenly King Xu Xian who rescued them. They would fight bravely to avenge this blood feud in the future. The timid ones were given travel expenses to allow them to return home freely. Those who had nowhere to go were arranged as logistics support staff.

As manpower was needed at this time, Xu Xian immediately arranged for Niu Gao to recruit a large number of brave men from Yan and Zhao to join the army, and immediately started various military training to deal with the Jin army.

After the statistical figures came out, Xu Xian was also surprised. There were nearly 4000 young and strong soldiers from Yan and Zhao who had just joined the army, and nearly people working in logistics support. However, there were only more than people who returned to the countryside to farm.

Xu Xian expected that the large army led by Wanyan Zongmou of the Jin army would be worried about their retreat being cut off upon learning that the city of Damingfu Beijing had been captured, and would most likely organize troops to counterattack as soon as possible. Then it would be unclear whether the Jin army could break through Tokyo Bianliang.

At this time, the 100-man cavalry reconnaissance team led by Yue Fei also returned to Beijing City, Daming Prefecture. On the way back from Xinxiang County, they actually killed and intercepted several batches of Jin army messengers. The latest movement of Wanyan Zongmou's army was that they were collecting boats and preparing to cross the Yellow River and attack the Song Dynasty's capital, Tokyo Bianliang.

Xu Xian judged that Wanyan Zongwang had probably not received the military intelligence that the Beijing city of Damingfu was captured by Xu Xian's troops and Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Zongbi (Jin Wushu) were completely annihilated. This was a good opportunity to speed up the military training of the new soldiers.

Yue Fei also brought the latest military information from Wanyan Zonghan, the commander of the Jin Army's Western Route Army. Wanyan Zonghan had led a cavalry force of more than 60,000 men and occupied most of Shanxi and Shaanxi along the way. His troops were now heading straight for Henan Prefecture (Luoyang), the Western Capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.

After a brief thought, Xu Xian immediately arranged for Yue Fei to lead an army alone, commanding the newly recruited soldiers from Yan and Zhao, and forming a new army, mainly composed of cavalry. He just combined the more than 9000 war horses of the Jin army with the original cavalry battalions, and prepared cavalry to be commanded by Yue Fei. The remaining cavalry battalions served as Xu Xian and Niu Gao's personal guards or reconnaissance battalions.

Xu Xian also thought that because the new army had just been formed, all the soldiers had not participated in strict military training, and it was difficult for them to deal with the large-scale battles of the Jin army. The new army that had not participated in strict military training would be "cannon fodder" victims even if they went to the battlefield. If it were a battle-hardened army, it would be able to resolve the crisis of the capture of the Tokyo City in Bianliang.

Besides, it is hard to imagine how difficult it would be to chase the Jin cavalry with infantry! It would be better to cut off their retreat route, wait for them to tire, and fight a blocking war to give full play to their own advantages. As long as they can effectively destroy the Jin army's military strength, why bother to go on a long expedition?
