Let’s talk about who are the generals under Yue Fei:
Control of the Chinese Army: Wang Gui, Yue Fei's confidant. His achievements were outstanding, including fighting Yixing, defeating Guo Ji, defeating Gao Ju and Zhang Cheng, and recovering Xiangyang and Dengzhou.
Former military commander: Zhang Xian, Yue Fei's most beloved and trusted general, defeated Cao Cheng in Chenzhou, recovered the six counties of Xiangyang, and conquered Suizhou. Without Yue Fei, Zhang Xian was the only one who could command the Yue family's army.
Yue Yun, the son of Yue Fei. Most of his achievements were hidden by his father Yue Fei and not known to others, but he became famous among the Yue Family Army and commanded the most elite unit of the Yue Family Army - the Beiwei Army.
Yue Fei looked at his generals and his son Yue Yun and said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows your Majesty's will. If you have any ideas, please put them forward. Let's discuss them first."
All the generals were thinking, but for a moment no one spoke up first. Everyone understood that what His Majesty wanted this time was a beautiful victory. However, how to win a beautiful battle was a problem.
Just like Yingchang on the opposite side, if a large army attacks the city, it can be defeated in less than a day. But is such a victory really worthy of the privilege granted by His Majesty? Everyone shook their heads in their hearts.
Without this power, the generals might still be more conservative, but it is not appropriate now.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Wang Gui said: "My subordinates feel that although we are near Yingchang, we can attack Huaining first, and then isolate Yingchang after taking Huaining. The puppet Qi will definitely send troops to rescue. This can
When encircling a point for reinforcements, our army can defend instead of attack, which can avoid losses to the greatest extent."
Yue Fei thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Although this is good, but only winning two cities is far from the victory that your Majesty expected. And although Yingchang is the gateway to Henan, for the Puppet Qi
, it is not inevitable. They can unite with the Kingdom of Jin and send troops to Huaining. By then, under attack from both front and rear, there will be danger."
Wang Gui stared at the map, and after thinking about it, he felt that his plan was indeed too conservative and not safe enough. But his original intention was to make a start, so he immediately stared at the map and thought about his plan.
Yue Yun's eyes lit up and he said: "Father, my son can lead the Wei army with 5,000 troops all the way north, directly to the direction of Bianjing. If everything goes well and successfully captures Bianjing, the Central Plains will be recovered soon."
All the generals were speechless. They had a good idea. Bianjing was captured and the puppet Qi regime was destroyed. By then, if the Song Dynasty sends troops again, the Northern Expedition would be more than half successful. And it perfectly meets the requirements of His Majesty. How can it not be met? Fight them all.
Arrive in the capital!
But you have to be able to succeed. This way, you can go straight through. Yingchang and Huaining are not that big, but Shunchang is garrisoned by Jin Wushu, and there are 50,000 Jin troops in Bianjing.
Yue Fei looked at his son and knew that he admired the great Han Huo Qubing very much and wanted to establish the cause of sealing the wolf and living in Xu. In the military camp, this son was not afraid of anyone but himself. Now he even brought up such an idea. It was really embarrassing.
Yes, even his father I don’t dare to think so.
Seeing that everyone ignored him, Yue Yun patted his chest and promised, "Father, I can issue a military order."
Yue Fei was furious. His son dared to say anything. He even issued a military order: "In the army, you should call me general! Someone, take him down."
Yue Yun was led down with a depressed look on his face. He looked inside the tent and secretly told himself: One day he will build a business greater than his father. At that time, he will also ask his father to take a good look at what is called the young man of the Song Dynasty.
General.
Zhang Xian advised from the side: "General, there is no need to be angry. Everyone knows Yue Yun's abilities. He is just a little young and energetic, and it is harmless."
All the generals expressed relief one after another, but they also took this time to come up with some countermeasures. Yue Fei waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care, and continued to discuss the Northern Expedition.
But it is a pity that all people's ideas are either too conservative and do not meet His Majesty's requirements; or they are too dangerous and the possibility of failure is too high.
After discussing for a while, no result was reached. At this time, Yue Fei saw Zhang Xian frowning and asked: "Zhang Xian, what do you think?"
Zhang Xian came back to his senses and said: "General, I think there is no need to have so many tricks or be so conservative. Jin Bing does not value most of the cities in the north now, except Shunchang and Bianjing. We might as well just start from
Yingchang will attack all the way to recapture Huaining, Zhengzhou, and Luoyang. If everything goes well, we will win consecutive battles all the way. By then, our army's momentum will be amazing, and we can fight against Jin Wushu in Shunchang with the momentum of a great victory."
After hearing this, everyone looked at Zhang Xian in stunned silence. Without any hesitation, Zhang Xian's suggestion was indeed in perfect compliance with His Majesty's request. Moreover, the risk was much lower than those proposed by others.
There are quite a few ghosts. If the plans proposed by the previous generals were not too bold, they would not feel this way. However, although Zhang Xian's suggestion is dangerous, it is indeed a steady approach and meets all requirements.
Yue Fei's eyes lit up, and he felt that this plan was very satisfying to him: "This is indeed a good idea."
Wang Gui dissuaded: "General! This plan is too risky. Fighting all the way can indeed build up the momentum of the soldiers. But if we encounter a failure along the way, coupled with the hardships of the Northern Expedition, our army will probably lose its morale. By then,
, if Jin Wushu attacks, our army will definitely suffer heavy losses."
Zhang Xian said: "But once we win, our army's prestige will be great and its morale will be greatly boosted. Moreover, your Majesty will be more satisfied with the general. After all, the authority granted by your Majesty is to act expediently and without restraint. If there is no big victory,
How can I be worthy of the power in my hands?
Wang Gui knew what Zhang Xian meant. He just wanted to win a big battle and tell the civil servants in the court that the generals did not need civil servants to curse in the military camp all day long. But this plan was still too risky. Although Wang Gui
He also felt that it was feasible. Wang Gui subconsciously thought, and cursed in his heart at random, that he must have been deceived by Zhang Xian, that bastard.
In fact, not only Wang Gui, but also the generals under Yue Fei felt that this plan was indeed feasible, but, again, it was too dangerous.
"General, it's better to be cautious. Don't be so hasty about the Northern Expedition."
Yue Fei stared at the topographic map of that area carefully and thought for a long time: "Although Zhang Xian's suggestion is a bit risky, it is indeed the best situation at the moment. But it still needs some improvement. Wang Gui, you lead 10,000 soldiers
Attack Zhengzhou, then go straight to Luoyang, and reach Shunchang as quickly as possible. Zhang Xian, you and Yue Yun will lead the Beiwei army to attack Yingchang, and then move to Chenzhou. At that time, our army will besiege Shunchang, and Jinwu
You can't escape even if you have wings."
Zhang Xian heard Yue Fei's plan and frowned: "General, if we divide the troops, someone will need to attract Jin Wushu's army to create time for us. General, no!" Zhang Xian understood Yue Fei's plan and hurriedly
He grabbed Yue Fei's arm and stopped him.
"I will lead the remaining 10,000 soldiers to attack Yancheng. Yancheng is neither far nor close to Shunchang. Jin Wushu will definitely not be angry with this and will definitely send troops when the time comes."
"General!"
The success rate of Yue Fei's improved plan has improved a lot, but this is only when the main force of the Jin soldiers is attracted. Once Yue Fei is defeated by the Jin soldiers, without the main force to restrain him, the Song army on both fronts will be very dangerous. What's more,
Yue Fei is the head coach of the Song Army this time. If Yue Fei fails, it will be really dangerous.
"So this battle is a speed battle. As long as your two lines are fast enough to annihilate the enemy to the greatest extent, the Jin soldiers will definitely return to the defense. By then, under the attack from the front and back, forming an encirclement, Jin Wushu will be captured alive.
"
When Yue Fei saw the generals, he still wanted to persuade each other, and said in a deep voice: "There is no need for more discussions among the ministries, just act according to the plan."
"yes."
All the generals clasped their fists to receive orders and went out of the camp to arrange relevant matters.
