Because Guizhou is close to Juyong Pass and is also responsible for the defense of Juyong Pass, Wanyan Zonghan sent his generals to guard it here.
This is a good general. Facing Zhang Jun and Liu Kai's two-front battle, it is already very remarkable that Yibao Bao can persist until now. However, this is already all his means, and the Song Army But there are still trump cards that have not been played.
"Report ---, general Qi, the Song army suddenly attacked our south entrance of Juyong Pass early this morning. Juyong Pass was attacked from two sides by the Song army and has been lost."
"What did you say?"
Yi La Bao suddenly stood up and glared at the visitor.
The sentry was so frightened that he trembled all over and said weakly: "The night before yesterday, the Song Army suddenly sent a troop to Juyong Pass, and our troops were all deployed at the north entrance. There were insufficient troops at the south entrance, which led to --- led to Ju--- Juyongguan has been lost."
Zhang Jun also put on a show of expression and began to attack Guizhou with all his strength, because Guizhou is a very important line of defense to the west of Juyong Pass. Logically speaking, one must pass through Guizhou to capture Juyong Pass. Therefore, Yi La Bao faced the Zhang Jun did not dare to neglect his fierce attack, and ordered the main force to defend Guizhou. However, he did not expect that Zhang Jun would suddenly personally lead a rapid march of 5,000 people and walk through the mountain trails all night, because Guizhou is located in the Taihang Mountains, and the mountain roads are complicated and complex. I carried only one meal of food with me and arrived in front of the south entrance of Juyong Pass overnight.
At that time, the troops at Juyongguan were fighting Liu Kai's army at the north entrance. They thought that there was Guizhou blocking them behind, so there was no need to worry. Who knew that suddenly a Song army fell from the sky and appeared in front of them, and they had no time to react. Although Zhang Jun was also a Jinshi. , but fought fiercely. He was a very courageous Confucian general, somewhat similar to Wanyan Zonghan. As soon as he reached the pass, he immediately launched a fierce attack, and it was a life-threatening attack.
At the same time, Liu Kai also received news that Zhang Jun had arrived at the south entrance. He immediately responded to Zhang Jun and launched a general offensive, overwhelming all the main forces to attack Juyong Pass.
The terrain of Juyong Pass was originally dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, the problem was that the defenders of Juyong Pass were not well prepared and they had been focusing on the north entrance. It rained heavily the day before yesterday, and they did not expect that Zhang Jun dared to march at night despite the heavy rain. , the lonely army goes deep and dares to go around to the south entrance, because if you don't take Guizhou, you rush to attack Juyongguan. There is no way to retreat. Once the Guizhou reinforcements arrive, the whole army will definitely be wiped out.
Zhang Jun naturally knew, but he had no intention of returning without success. He only brought food for one meal. He didn't bring any food back home. It can be seen that this was a desperate attack. Because of this, his men The soldiers all knew that if they couldn't take Juyong Pass in one fell swoop, they would be doomed. They had to fight to the death, or they would die if they didn't succeed, so they started to attack. The battle was really a potential explosion, because their only way to survive was to capture Juyong Pass. Join Liu Kai's army and obtain food and grass.
Launching the attack from Zhang Jun, it took less than two hours to capture the south entrance of Juyong Pass. The south entrance fell, and the north entrance fell one after another. This important pass was captured in one morning, thus opening up the Taihang Mountains. This time Guizhou had no time to react to the lightning assault, which also added a glorious touch to Zhang Jun's military exploits.
"General, if Juyong Pass falls, the Song army from the east will continue to pour in from Juyong Pass. In less than a day, they will reach the city. We are already besieged on all sides. What should we do?"
Yi Cibao also had a confused look on his face and slumped down on his chair. He didn't know what to do. He had already suffered heavy losses in the battle at Juyongguan, so he had no ability to resist the Song army. After a while, he suddenly stood up.
, with a resolute look on his face, he said: "The Commander-in-Chief ordered me to guard Juyong Pass. Now that Juyong Pass has fallen, I really feel ashamed of Juyong Pass. I can only repay Commander-in-Chief's kindness with death. I immediately gathered my troops and went out of the city to fight the Song army to the death."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man suddenly ran in and said: "General, please don't be impulsive. I have received a letter from you all."
Yi Cibao was stunned for a moment, then said with great joy: "All the commanders are back?"
Na Meng'an nodded and said: "The commander-in-chief orders you to immediately lead the troops from Guizhou and Ruzhou to rescue Xinzhou and help Nunwan Wendu break out of the encirclement."
Yi Cibao looked confused when he heard this and said, "If I leave, what will happen to Guizhou and Ruzhou?"
Na Meng'an shook his head and said: "I haven't said anything about this yet. I just ask you to quickly lead everyone to Xinzhou for rescue without delay. Oh, and also recruit the strong men in the city to take away all the food."
Yi Cibao looked at this man suspiciously. People's hearts are unstable these days. How can there be such a war? Not even Guizhou or Ruzhou.
When Meng An looked at Yi Cibao, he understood immediately, took out a bone token, and said: "This is the token of the commander-in-chief. Without further delay, general, please withdraw the troops quickly."
This bone token is equivalent to Wanyan Zonghan's holy edict, because Wanyan Zonghan is like an emperor here, seeing bones as he sees people, Yi Cibao did not dare to doubt anymore, and quickly ordered the entire army to withdraw from Guizhou immediately, and
At the same time, someone was sent to inform the Ruzhou garrison to withdraw the troops immediately.
Yunzhou.
This heavy rain has been falling for several days in a row. It fell carelessly and extinguished the war flames in this area instantly without even smoke. However, the fierce fighting for several days has made the soldiers on both sides very tired. They all need this heavy rain.
.
But in comparison, this heavy rain was more beneficial to the Jin Army, because the muddy road would cause a lot of trouble to the Song Army's convoy, and it would also buy him time to consolidate the defense line.
Wanyan Zonghan has always been vigorous and resolute in his work. He initiated a general mobilization call for the whole city to widen the moat and build fortresses. There are many rivers in Yunzhou, and the moat in the southeast of Yunzhou is not dug, but natural.
It was originally twenty or thirty meters wide, but Wanyan Zonghan requested to widen it to about forty meters. Not only that, he also built the Lianzhu Village near the moat, and recruited a large number of strong men to build a huge infantry combat force.
This shows that he is going to defend Yunzhou City with all his strength.
But for the Song Army, it is not all bad news. There is also very good news, that is, penicillin has worked. In fact, in ancient wars, the proportion of people who died directly on the battlefield was not very high. Most of them were due to wound inflammation.
. Died because there were no antibiotics before. However, the emergence of penicillin saved the lives of a large number of wounded. In the past few days, Liu Yunxi and other military medical officers rescued a large number of soldiers in the rain. This was to a certain extent.
It also boosted the morale of the soldiers and made the Song Army's combat effectiveness more durable.
In the large tent of the Song Army.
"It's unreasonable. Xixia actually refuses to save them. It's in vain that we provide them so much help. They really have a wolf-hearted thing."
Zhao Kai got the Jin army and besieged Xining Prefecture. However, Xixia refused to move and became furious.
Zongze looked at the map with the presbyopia given to him by Li Qi, and suddenly said: "In my opinion, the Jin Army's attack on Xining Prefecture may be just a cover."
Zhao Kai was stunned and said: "A cover? What cover?"
Zongze said: "Judging from the current situation, the Jin Army can do nothing to capture Xining Prefecture, and it will not be of much benefit to the overall situation. But if Wanyan Zongwang takes the route of Xining and detours to Xingqing Prefecture from the south.
So the harvest is huge.”
Liu Qi nodded repeatedly and said: "The Generalissimo is absolutely right. This is most likely a feint shot by Wanyan Zongwang. It's a pity that Xixia failed to see through it. Otherwise, they should have sent troops to counterattack at that time. Once Wanyan Zongwang succeeded in detouring, they would definitely be able to
Xixia was caught off guard."
Zhao Kai hummed: "This is the best, they all asked for it."
Li Qidao: "Your Majesty, you can't say that. Xixia helped us contain a hundred thousand gold troops. We can't act on impulse. We should send troops to rescue."
"The Privy Envoy's words make sense."
Zongze nodded.
Zhao Kai said: "But it is impossible for our reinforcements to rush over so quickly."
Zongze suddenly clicked his tongue and said, "Where has Yue Fei gone? Why is there no news at all?"
Zhao Kai also said: "I also want to know. If Yue Fei is here, I can order him to go to the rescue."
Li Qidao: "Could it be that you are going to aid Xixia?"
Zongze shook his head and said: "Wanyan Zongwang has gone south, and the siege of Helan Mountain has been solved. Without Wanyan Zongwang's restraint, it will be more difficult for Wanyan Xiyin's troops to conquer Yinshan Mountain. Moreover, I asked Yue Fei to stop Wanyan Zonghan, and now Wanyan Zonghan
He has come back, and he should also come back to attack Yunzhou with us. The most elite troops of the Western Army are all in his hands."
At this moment, Orihiko suddenly walked in.
Zongze quickly asked: "Is there any news about Yue Fei?"
Zhe Yanye shook his head and said: "Shuozhou has not received any news from Yue Fei. There has been no news since Yue Fei sent that letter."
This time, even Li Qi was confused, "Strange. Where did Yue Fei go? The fact that he sent a letter proves that he was not defeated by Wanyan Zonghan. It is impossible for so many troops to just disappear."
"Send someone to inquire again immediately." Zongze said with an angry look on his face: "If Yue Fei can't give me a reasonable explanation, I will definitely deal with him under military law."
Since Yue Fei leads elites and they are all cavalry, if Yue Fei comes back, he will be even more powerful for this convoy, which can attack when advancing and defend when retreating. However, he can calmly face Wanyan Zonghan's main force, so Zongze is very angry.
On the second day, when Zongze and others were still confused about Yue Fei's disappearance, Wu Ci Haicheng suddenly sent someone.
"Chen Dao meets your Majesty."
A man in a long gown bowed respectfully to Zhao Kai.
"No gift."
Zhao Kai was still annoyed that the party members refused to save him, and his tone was very cold, and asked: "What are you doing here?"
Chen Daodao: "To return to Your Majesty, your General Yue recently borrowed 300,000 guan of goods from our general. He said that he could ask the Privy Council to ask for the return."
Everyone was stunned.
And Li Qi was even more confused, saying: "You---what did you say, General Yue? What three hundred thousand guan?"
Chen Daodao: "Oh, that's General Yue Fei."
Li Qi suddenly woke up and said in shock: "You said Yue Fei borrowed 300,000 yuan of goods from you?"
"Exactly."
"It's your sister."
Li Qi snorted: "You are so poor that you have come to me to cheat. Do you know that I am a cheater? You said 300,000 Guan is just 300,000 Guan. I also said that your country
The Lord owes us Qifeng Tower one million dollars in overnight expenses."
This was also the first time Chen Dao had dealt with Li Qi. Seeing him making fun of his emperor, he felt slightly angry. But now that Xixia wanted to ask for help from the Song Dynasty, they could only swallow their anger and said: "Privy Envoy, I don't dare to be in your country."
You are lying in front of your Majesty." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms and said, "Privy Councilor, please see, this is an IOU written by General Yue, and it also has the official seal of his Imperial Palace Secretary."
"real or fake."
Li Qi took the letter dubiously, and when he saw it, it was really Yue Fei's handwriting. In the letter, Yue Fei mentioned that he had borrowed 300,000 taels of goods from Wuci Haicheng, and that he had borrowed it in the name of the Song Dynasty, and even wrote that
, compensated with grain, it does have Yue Fei's signature and official seal on it, but that's it, Yue Fei did not explain the reason.
Zhao Kai saw Li Qi's expression was different and said: "Privy Envoy, show it to me."
Li Qi was startled and looked a little embarrassed, but he still handed over the IOU. Zhao Kai picked it up and looked at it, and his brows furrowed. After he confirmed the official seal again and again, he suddenly slapped the IOU on the table and shouted angrily: "
What does Yue Fei want to do?"
