Although the refugees in the Yanshan area were very enthusiastic in their hospitality to Fengrui and others, almost to the point of giving everything they had.
All kinds of delicacies and game were served in a steady stream, which made the three of them, who had always endured hardships in the mission world, smile with joy.
Even during this process, they were quite gloating about the difficult experiences of Hu Biao and others.
Decide that if the mission is over, you must show off in front of them.
However, the three of them could still distinguish the seriousness of the matter from eating to eating and making trouble to making trouble; more importantly, their gloating over the misfortune of Hu Biao and others did not mean that they really did not care about the life and death of Hu Biao and others.
After having a big meal, I accepted the kindness of everyone in the Yanshan area.
The three of them started to get down to business without taking the initiative to discuss.
Soon after, during their explanation, the numerous wines and meats on the long wooden table were removed; instead, some fruits and tea soup made from wild tea were presented.
After making these preparations, the leaders of a total of thirteen refugees were invited in.
Among these people, the leader is called Fang Dalang.
At that time, there was a deputy captain in Xuange Camp. Because he was from the Western Army, he was unparalleled among everyone in terms of knowledge and ability.
So in the past few years, he was also a big leader among the refugees.
There are seven others, all of whom were wounded soldiers in Xuange Camp back then. They all have the identities of ten generals, corps commanders, and soldiers.
The remaining five people are people with ability and reputation among the refugees. In the end, these thirteen people are considered to be the ones with the highest status among the refugees.
It's a coincidence, because there aren't many flat valleys in Yanshan, so it's impossible for everyone to live together.
It could only be that they formed many villages and were distributed in a large area of Yanshan Mountain. These thirteen leaders usually lived in different places.
It is said that the farthest village requires a day or two of walking.
It just so happened that they had gathered together these days to discuss some matters; otherwise Fengrui and the others would have to wait three days if they wanted to summon these people for a meeting.
After greeting everyone to sit down, Fengrui immediately said straight to the point:
"Brothers, you must have worked hard these years.
I wonder what the situation is like here in Yanshan after more than four years of separation? How big is our population, how many men and horses can we mobilize to fight, and what are our preparations for food and fodder?"
If you want to do something, of course you must first figure out what you have on hand and how much capital you have now.
Faced with such a question, the big leader Fang Dalang opened his mouth:
"Originally, there were only more than 10,000 people who fled into the mountains from Taipingbao; but those Jurchens were cruel, and many people who could not survive one after another fled into the Yanshan Mountains.
There are Han people, Khitan people, and Xi people among them. Thanks to the miracles of the immortal grandfathers, they have joined us one after another.
Now, including the old and the weak, the population has reached more than 70,000, with 63 villages of various sizes scattered throughout more than half of Yanshan Mountain.
In order to deal with the Jin soldiers, they went into the mountains from time to time to clear out their enemies.
As long as they are adults, all men are incorporated into the battalion; now there are a total of 51 various battalion heads, with a strength of approximately 25,000 to 25,000.
To be honest, due to the Jin people's blockade in recent years, sometimes I don't even have the salt to eat.
We didn’t even have the strength to climb the mountain and walk, so it was naturally quite hard.
But when I thought of my grandpas’ magical tricks and the promise that they would come back one day, I continued to persevere after encouraging each other every day.”
After hearing the above content, the three Fengrui people suddenly looked at each other in confusion.
The rest of the situation was fine, and the fact that they were able to mobilize more than 20,000 troops was even a huge surprise.
The key is that these people shouted "Fairy Grandpa" one after another with respectful faces, which almost caused them to dig out the soles of their shoes in great embarrassment.
On the ground, a living room with three bedrooms and one living room was carved out.
The problem is to explain to these people, right? On the one hand, they simply can't explain why they disappeared from so many people's eyes in a "whoosh".
On the other hand, there is a more important point, which involves morale.
The key to these people being able to persevere until now in such a difficult environment is to develop an almost religious belief in these people.
If we really explain it clearly, the hearts of these people will probably be dispersed immediately, and there will be no way to lead them to seize the county seat.
Finally, after the three of them looked at each other, they reached a consensus:
Embarrassing is embarrassing! In the future, we still have to continue to pretend to be a magic stick, and we have to pretend to be better and more real; wait until the situation gets better, and then think about changing customs and breaking down feudal superstitions...
After further questioning, I learned about this group of refugees in Yanshan.
In addition to having good military strength and high morale, there are no other necessary weapons and armor, and the food supply cannot last for a few days.
Based on the dictation of the leaders, War Elephant drew and marked the surrounding terrain and the approximate distribution of the golden soldiers on pieces of paper.
The next thing is to determine their goals based on the above content.
Or, in other words, which county to hit.
After everyone considered it, they finally decided on the target: Yuyang County.
This place belongs to Jizhou on Zhongdu Road in the Jin Kingdom. If placed in the modern dimension, it is actually Jizhou District in Tangshan. When the Song Dynasty briefly occupied Yanjing, it was changed to Pinglu County, but with the influence of Guo Yaoshi
The gold deposit was lost again.
Originally there were around 1,500 people guarding the Ever Victorious Army under Guo Yaoshi.
With the start of the Jin Dynasty's war against the Song Dynasty, a thousand people were transferred away, and now only 500 people are left to guard it. It can be considered a weak persimmon.
But even if it is determined, the next target to start with will be later.
The specific time for dispatching troops still needs to wait five days.
It's not that they are sharp, they are not anxious, but in this battle, they plan to dispatch an elite force of 5,000 people at once.
These people need to be mobilized from the stockade below, and some food and grass must be prepared for the trip. Even after they are gathered, they need to get used to it for a day or two.
Even so, Fengrui, a male nurse from the modern dimension, still felt an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart:
In the past, Li Yunlong attacked Ping'an County, and now he is attacking Yuyang County with great vigor. He will not let Captain Li Zhuanmei be better than the previous one...
****
It was still at the same time, but the specific place was changed to Heqing County in Mengzhou, hundreds of miles away from Kaifeng City.
Looking at the battlefield where the battle had just ended, Yue Fei and Grandpa Yue had solemn expressions in their eyes.
Four years later, in front of Hu Biao and others, that young man who was still young and honest had undergone astonishing changes after having the experience of controlling the production, life, and army of tens of thousands of people.
Just standing here, I still have a posture of being as still as a mountain, with an unchanging expression on my face despite the weight of Mount Tai.
But at this moment, Yue Fei still frowned in a rare way.
Why? Because they, a group of local Han people, live deep in the Taihang Mountains, although the sky is high and the emperor is far away, there is no need to worry about the noise caused by the training of soldiers and horses leaking out.
However, there are also disadvantages such as lack of information and untimely response.
When the Jin soldiers attacked Kaifeng for the first time, when they heard the news and just dispatched troops, those Jin soldiers had already retreated with a large amount of money.
This time when the Jin soldiers attacked Kaifeng, it was already a month ago when they heard the news.
By the time they left a small number of troops to guard their headquarters, and the remaining army of ten thousand people brought provisions and hurriedly set out, it was already twenty days ago.
Originally, this journey was only a few hundred miles away, but with the soldiers trained by Yue Fei himself, it could be reached in seven days at most.
Unexpectedly, not far from the mountain, they would encounter a group of Jin cavalry with no more than seven or eight hundred people in front of them.
That was the first battle between the two sides. The golden soldiers were careless and killed hundreds of people. After they learned the lesson, they did not take the initiative to attack, but only relied on the speed of their horses to harass them.
Unfortunately, when Yue Fei and others took a boat to evacuate from the Northland that day, in order to load a few more people, all the fine war horses were abandoned.
So much so that in his current army, there are only some mules and horses used to transport grain, and not a single real war horse.
As a result, every time they fought against the harassing Jin soldiers, the number of casualties on both sides was very limited; but their advance speed became extremely slow.
I don't know how long it will take to reach the Kaifeng City.
"We can't continue like this. We must find a way to defeat these Jin cavalry." After thinking for a long time, Yue Fei said firmly...
