Xu Qing sneaked in overnight, triggering a crisis that was not a crisis... The reason why it was not a crisis was because as long as Yue Fei gave up on gathering the people around Pingyin and gathered his forces to fight back, he would have both a city and soldiers, not to mention
It's just Xu Qing, even if Kong Yanzhou and Liu Lin's whole army came, he would still be beaten to death.
However, Yue Fei was thinking about the situation in Jeju, and even Nanjing and Tokyo behind him, and had no idea about Kong Yanzhou and Liu Yu. Moreover, in his eyes, Xu Qing's military threat was really nothing compared to the safety of ordinary people.
carry.
At noon, the two sides met on the north bank of Jishui, ten miles north of the city. Yue Fei simply led only 1,500 soldiers to form an array in the wilderness, while Xu Qing had 3,000 soldiers and horses. However, the latter came all night, so his army was inevitably in disarray.
The two sides met, and as soon as they stood still, Tang Huai reined up his horse and came behind Yue Fei, suggesting in a low voice: "Brother, I understand your intentions, but it seems that Xu Qing's troops are tired and uneasy at the moment, so why not send troops quickly and take advantage of the enemy's instability to strike a blow?"
And if we win, we will have to wait until Xu Qing is captured before we put him to death?"
Yue Fei looked back at his brother, shook his head slightly, and then moved forward with his mouth open.
Although Tang Huai was rejected, he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he raised his gun and hit his horse, calling each other from afar in front of the formation: "Xu Erlang! My Zhenfu please come forward and talk to me!"
After a moment, amid a commotion, Xu Qing rode out alone. Seeing this, Tang Huai felt relieved and reined up his horse and returned to the formation to take control of the army. Yue Fei also rode forward alone.
"Yue Zhenfu."
Xu Qingnian was about thirty, and he might have come overnight, so his eyes were bloodshot and he looked extremely tired. When he saw the visitor, he could only try to hold his hands from afar, but his voice was a little hoarse.
"Brother Xu." Yue Fei Fei walked up to the opponent, faced each other, and spoke in response. Then he narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not return the greeting. Instead, he held the iron gun in his hand.
Seeing this, Xu Qing could only sigh, and then continued to face each other: "Yue Zhenfu, I led thousands of brothers from Hebei that day. Yue Zhenfu wrote to me and asked me to go to Jeju, but I thought that Yue Zhenfu was under his command.
There are many talents, and it is said that it is better to be the mouth of a chicken than the queen of an ox, so I accepted the invitation of Kong Yanzhou and went to Yanzhou, but I never expected that today... Yue Zhenfu, Kong Yanzhou's man believed Liu Yu's lies, saying that it was
The Jin people wanted Liu Yu to be the emperor and Liu Lin to be the prince, and Liu Yu and his son promised him a military marshal, and in turn promised me a deputy marshal. But my brother came from Hebei and really didn't want to join the army.
Jin man, now that he is in a desperate situation, he came to invest, but he still hopes to accept it!"
After saying this, the man once again bowed his hands on the horse, which can be said to be sincere.
However, when Yue Fei heard this, he just rolled his eyes slightly and looked at the other person, neither speaking nor nodding.
Just when Xu Qing was about to speak again, Yue Pengju suddenly stabbed the opponent's neck with a spear. Xu Qing was so shocked that he immediately rolled off his horse to avoid it. When he stood up, he was sweating again... It turned out that Yue Fei's spear was stabbed, but
It was to block an arrow, but this arrow actually came from behind Xu Qing.
Not only that, Xu Qing fell off his horse as soon as the arrow came, but Xu Qing's troops in the distance immediately started making noises, and then dozens of horsemen swarmed over. Seeing this, Xu Qing quickly wanted to mount his horse, but found that his horse had been frightened.
Running away, he couldn't help but feel a cold heart... He knew that what he did today was blocking someone's way, and if he couldn't deal with it properly now, let alone regaining military power, even his life might not be saved.
"Is it the one with the red turban?" At this moment, Yue Fei remained motionless, but raised his gun and pointed it at the dozens of cavalry horses that arrived in front of him in a moment.
When Xu Qing heard Yue Fei's question, he woke up, but he had no time to say anything. He could only respond quickly on the ground: "That's the man!"
But when he said it, it was too late and soon. As soon as Xu Qingyu said the word "yes", Yue Pengju's face became solemn, and then he took out his bow. He didn't care that dozens of horsemen were about to rush forward, but he didn't rush to draw the arrow.
Shoot forward.
Before Xu Qing could see the situation clearly, Tang Huai led dozens of riders at high speed behind him, and some even offered to let the horse ride with him... When he mounted the horse again, he was shocked to find that the red-turbaned lieutenant who had conspired against him had fallen from his horse.
, and the dozens of cavalrymen who rushed towards them were all frightened and did not dare to move lightly.
Yue Fei turned around and pursed his lips slightly. How dare Xu Qing waste this opportunity? He directly rode forward, bypassed the dozens of riders who were still at a loss, shouted to the trusted generals behind him, and galloped straight into the army.
After a moment, the two armies converged and captured the lieutenant general's henchman, and a turmoil that might have had unexpected consequences was eliminated.
After this incident, Xu Qing was already frightened and grateful towards Yue Fei, and his behavior became more logical. As for Kong Yanzhou, it was not that he did not send out a retrieval force... In fact, this was where the deputy general had the courage to have evil intentions... But
The pursuers heard from a distance that Xu Qing had joined Yue Fei and entered Pingyin City. They were so impressed by the reputation of Yue Fei and Xu Qing that they did not dare to come again.
However, after easily handling Xu Qinglai's surrender, Yue Peng raised his troops to escort the soldiers and civilians in the north of Dongping Prefecture with an orderly withdrawal to the south. After two days, he arrived at Yunzhou City (the capital of Dongping Prefecture, in fact, the original name of Dongping Prefecture was Yunzhou), and saw the people from Shui Shui.
Zhang Rong, who had Bo Zheng's army coming out to assist him, received unexpected bad news - Dingtao, the capital of his subordinate Guangji Army, had fallen.
No way, Dingtao was the place where Lieutenant Yang was worried about heroes from all walks of life, and it was also the place where Yue Fei and Zhang Rong got acquainted. However, that city was to the west of Jishui and Liangshan, and to the north, it was the Jin cavalry going south.
path... And because of the dispatch of troops this time, only a thousand people under the guard general Fu Xuan stayed.
In fact, on that day, the Jin army quickly moved southwest along the north and east sides of Jishui. Although Yue Fei noticed it immediately in Pingyin, because there was a huge Liangshan Mountain across the road, he even rushed to deliver the message in front of the enemy army.
It was too late, so the whole army had already anticipated it.
On the other side, since it was related to the safety of his base area, Zhang Rong did not keep the other party around. He just took over the people escorted by the other party and sent the ordnance in the city as a thank you. Li Kui and others' affiliations were also unambiguous and they were reiterated directly.
As a result, he took the initiative to urge the other party to lead several new generals to go south immediately to clean up the situation.
However, Yue Fei left the people of Dongping Prefecture behind and quickly moved his army southward. Only half a day later, he learned the bad news - that is, after the Jin people broke through Dingtao, they immediately crossed the river, but after crossing the river, they did not attack the empty defense of Jeju.
Instead, it continued straight south!
In other words, the situation that Yue Fei was most worried about appeared. The Jin people deliberately tried to sneak across and separate the troops and horses. They were simply trying to catch the Song people by surprise, and a black tiger came to take out their hearts and destroy Nanjing (Shangqiu).
Zhang Zuozhang's system!
Then, as Yue Fei led his army into Jeju, bad news continued one after another.
For example, Fu Xuan, who was desperately escaping, received news that the Jin army that defeated Dingtao that day was no less than 10,000 people. He saw with his own eyes that two groups of Jin army cavalry, each with 5,000 or 6,000 cavalry, converged at the foot of the city that day... one of them was from
The soldiers and horses coming from the northeast along the Jishui River were the soldiers and horses led by Wanhu Ali. On the other hand, the soldiers and horses under the banner of Wanhu Zhenlubu were not dressed abnormally, but they came from the wilderness from the northwest.
I came, but I don’t know whether I came from Puzhou or Huazhou.
There are not even ten thousand Jurchens, but they are invincible!
Of course, this sentence is undoubtedly absurd to Yue Fei, who has extensive experience in fighting the Jin people. He knows that the Jurchens are also human beings and will die. Moreover, from the day he took office as the governor, he always thought that as long as two people
In three years, he could train tens of thousands of infantry to fight in the field with the Jin's tens of thousands of cavalry...
However, when he came back to the present, Yue Pengju knew very well. Not only that his subordinates had only been in the army for half a year, and they might not be able to fight the Jurchens face to face. He only said that Zhang Suo's Nanjing only had what was known as fifteen thousand.
In fact, there are only 12,300 soldiers and horses.
Among them, four to five thousand were surrendered bandits, five to six thousand were newly recruited troops brought from Shouchun, and only one or two thousand were the so-called 'elite' of the Western Army, but they were still led by Xin Daozong (Sanxin) who was like a government official.
.
It's hard to say that Nanjing was already in ruins at this time, and the government that I favored was even more disastrous.
At this thought, Yue Fei simply passed through Jeju City without entering, and directly led his troops towards the southwest quickly.
However, as soon as he led his troops to the border between Shanzhou and Jeju, the densely packed troops and fleeing Yingtian Mansion (where Nanjing is located) and the people of Shanzhou conveyed the exact news to them - Xin Daozong hurriedly faced the enemy and died in battle, Zhang
So because of his error in judgment, he was extremely ashamed and chose to commit suicide in the Nanjing palace.
This incident caused Yue Pengju to suffer an unprecedented blow, because Zhang Suo's kindness to him was as good as Zongze's. For Yue Fei, who lost his father at the age of nineteen, the two of them had a certain sense of father and son.
.
You can't raise troops when you are angry, let alone the enemy's situation is unknown. Yue Fei understood this truth as early as that day when he was in front of Xiangzhou.
In desperation, the Jeju town governor could only take precautions and withdraw to Jeju. Then he relied on the water in the southwest of Jeju to carefully deploy his defenses, and moved toward the southeast, which was the only friendly force with sufficient strength on Jeju's side that was surrounded on three sides.
Zhang Jun and Lieutenant Zhang sent a messenger to request instructions.
However, bad things always seem to happen together. As soon as the defense line was stabilized, huge internal strife broke out within the Yue Family Army!
