Let us say that on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Yue Fei integrated his subordinates, received the ordnance, and took Ma Kuo with him to set off. However, after leaving Tokyo, he naturally followed the Bianhe Avenue to the southeast, vaguely heading towards Nanjing (
Today's Shangqiu) marched.
However, he had only been gone for three days. As soon as he entered Nanjing, he suddenly received a military order that was neither from Shouzhou nor Tokyo. However, he followed the military order correctly and marched directly to the north and east of the Guangji Army (later Dingtao).
In this regard, even Ma Kuo, who wanted to see Zhao Guan's family as soon as possible, had no complaints, because the person who issued the military order was really not a cat or a dog, but actually Yang Weizhong who had withdrawn from Hebei!
So who is Yang Weizhong?
This man is the ancestor of the Western Army of this era...or to be more refined, this man is the oldest, highest-ranking, and most famous person in the Western Army system. He can be called a living legend.
Yang Weizhong's ancestor is sometimes mistakenly said to be the Kang family, the founding father of the Song Dynasty. There are even rumors that he is the descendant of the Kang family who was captured by the Liao State and the princess of the Liao State. But in fact, this is just because he was born in Huanqing.
Lu, he is most likely some kind of tribesman...either a Dangxiang or a Tibetan compatriot...so most people know that his name is a fake name, and it is inevitable for rumors to spread after his official position is high.
But no matter what, he changed his name to Yang Weizhong and joined the army to serve the country. He spent his whole life in the Western Army. As early as the Zhezong era of Song Dynasty, he was a general second only to those Taiwei.
He thought that the son of Zhezong of Song Dynasty should be established instead of the one who behaved frivolously. As a result, he got into big trouble, so he was unable to get ahead in the Tong Guan era. But even so, this person was enough to go sideways in the Western Army system. At this time
The three generals who were stationed in front of Zhao Jiu, Zhang Jun, and Han Shizhong were personally promoted by Taiwei Yang. Even Liu Zhengyan, the son of Liu Fa, had never been promoted before he was promoted. It was also because the top of Liu Fa's faction was occupied by this man.
.
So back to the present, when the Jingkang Incident occurred, Yang Weizhong also found Zhao Laojiu early, and he was the capital commander of the Marshal's Mansion at that time. Later, Zhao Laojiu ascended the throne as emperor, but left him in Hebei and became the governor of the North Road...
...However, isn’t it that the Jin Kingdom is determined to sweep Hebei?
When Wanyan Wushu, the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, went south, he did not forget to ask General Han Chang to lead 20,000 troops to complete the task of swallowing up Daming Mansion. The third prince of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Yinliduo, personally led the army after his brother went berserk.
The Chinese army moved slightly southward from Yanyun to clean up the rear.
Correspondingly speaking, Du Chong, who stayed behind in Daming Mansion, abandoned the city and fled from the beginning. Under heavy pressure, Hebei no longer had a frontal battlefield. Yang Weizhong, who had retreated, could only try to gather the defeated troops while trying to get rid of Han Chang.
He crossed the river and headed south in a gap, but when he arrived at the boundary of the Guangji Army, he received Zhao Jiu's orders. However, the veteran had other thoughts.
"What Taiwei means is that instead of going to Shouzhou, we should defeat the enemies of Jezhou first to cut off Jinwu's future?"
"Jeju only has five thousand gold troops, and they are alone in front, rear, left and right?"
The Guangji Army gathered various defeated troops and rebels in Dingtao City. After Yue Fei's troops arrived, he and Ma Kuo came to the government hall in the city to pay homage to Yang Weizhong. However, as soon as they entered the hall, they did not see Yang Weizhong himself.
The leaders of the various rebel armies roughly understood what Yang Weizhong meant, and they were also very excited and started to care about him!
This is of course, because Yang Weizhong's strategy is absolutely correct... In fact, after arriving at the boundary of East and West Road in Beijing, the enemy situation has basically been clear. Wanyan Talan and Wanyan Yinliduo's thoughts are all in Hebei, Jin Wu
At this time, Shu's 30,000 soldiers and horses were basically advancing alone, but even so, the more than 20,000 Jin army in front of Shouzhou was not something that any Song army could defeat in a field battle.
Everyone is a hard-working person in the military, and those who have persisted until now and still gather under Yang Weizhong's banner can also calculate the military accounts very clearly:
In the current situation, the Jin Army and the Song Army each have 100 men, so it’s hard to say the outcome. The Jin Army has a near-invincible god of war like Wanyan Loushi, but the reputations of Han Shizhong, Wang De and others in the Song Army are not the same.
What was blown out was that Yue Fei asked his one hundred most basic brothers to mount the horse, and he was not afraid of any one hundred golden troops.
He even let it go and said, "You can still find some decent good men everywhere, reward them with enough armor, dance with a spear, shoot with a bow and arrow, you will take my life, and I will take my life. Who is afraid of whom?"
But what about a thousand versus a thousand?
To be fair, it's hard to tell for the Song Army, or to put it bluntly, the winning rate is not high... The Jin Army randomly comes out with an established Meng'an and adds a thousand supplementary troops to make up a thousand people. The one who can fight here in the Song Army probably needs Zhang Jun.
A general of Han Shizhong's caliber drew out his core troops and fought desperately.
But at this time, the Song army can still fight. At the worst, they can take advantage of their numbers and terrain. If you have a thousand men and I have ten thousand, if we block you in a mountain den, we will still be able to kill you.
What about 20,000 people?
As everyone knows, when the Jin Army reaches this level, the Song Army basically has no room to deal with the opponent in field battles and can only defend passively, because this is not a mathematical game. At this level of battle, the superposition of numbers has already
There is no meaning anymore.
This is the result of the fall of the Song Dynasty and the complete collapse of the military system. It has nothing to do with personal bravery or the talent of a general. Ten thousand people cannot be a real army without courage... Yue Fei is in Xiangzhou, Han Shizhong is in Baigou, and Zhang Jun is here
Taiyuan, did it work among the army?
And now, more than 20,000 Jin troops are placed on the plains of Shouzhou. Not to mention the troops and horses of Zhao Guan's imperial camp, even if they are doubled, it will not be enough. And if it is doubled, it may not be as good as the current Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong, and Zhao Jiu.
The Xiacai-Huaihe-Bagongshan defense system is more effective.
In fact, after Yue Fei and others entered the boundary of the East and West Road in Beijing and learned about the situation in Shouzhou, they discussed with Ma Kuo and others. They all felt that the rescue might not be really effective. I am afraid that the best they can do is to find someone in Linhuai nearby.
The city serves as a fulcrum.
As for the five thousand gold army in Jeju, Yue Fei had not thought about it, but he was short of troops and horses, so he could only think about it. Unexpectedly, Yang Weizhong and Lieutenant Yang happened to be here, and the documents from Zhao Guan's family inspired countless rebels, but it was enough
The Guangji Army gathered strength here, which naturally gave people some ideas...breaking the retreat and forcing Jin Wushu to withdraw his troops is the only way to resolve this battle!
And this is exactly what the Zhao Guan family should be striving for.
"Does Pengju think it's feasible?"
After discussing for a while, seeing the various military leaders in the hall in a mess, talking about everything, Ma Kuo couldn't help but ask Yue Fei privately... In the past few days, he had been with Yue Fei's army and met Zongze.
The first general under his command is indeed strict in running the army and enforces orders and prohibitions. I have long been convinced.
"If there are 20,000 soldiers, it will be feasible!" Yue Fei replied simply. "But I don't know how many soldiers there are in Dingtao City at this time..."
"In the prosperous land of Jingdong, there must be 20,000 soldiers." Although Ma Kuo was already convinced, he shook his head repeatedly. "But Pengju, those are five thousand gold soldiers, and they have a city to rely on..."
"How can the Jin army abandon the field battle and rely on the city?" Yue Fei replied calmly without changing his expression.
"That's true." Ma Kuo nodded, but then shook his head. "But it's still wrong... As you said, the Jin Army's advantage in field battles is that five thousand cavalry will never defend the city, but in the wilderness we
How can the 20,000 soldiers be enough for them to attack?"
"Why fight in the wilderness?" Yue Fei remained calm. "Down here in Dingtao, along the Jishui River, in the territory of Jezhou, there is a battlefield to restrain the cavalry. Send a group of troops to lure the enemy. With the Jin army's current madness,
, I will definitely follow you, so I will ambush you there..."
Ma Kuo was slightly moved and was about to say more when he heard a commotion in the hall. Suddenly, a veteran general with a crimson complexion and gray beard, about fifty or sixty years old, came into the hall with seven or eight fully armed military attaches.
It was Yang Weizhong. And although the red-robed civil servant next to Yang Taiwei was walking in the same position, he was just obedient... It turned out that the entire Guangji Army had already escaped completely when the Jin Army occupied Jeju.
The person who came was a general judge from somewhere in Hebei Province. He was fished out by Yang Weizhong. He was just pretending to be a temporary person, so naturally he had no appearance.
But no matter what, Yiwen and Wu should sit down first, and the leaders of the rebels, bandits, and defeated troops from all walks of life in the hall became more or less solemn.
"You all know the official's will."
After Yang Weizhong sat down, he didn't talk nonsense, but directly rolled up his sleeves and slapped his hands on the shore. "You should also understand my thoughts. And I also understand your thoughts... Some of you here have been soldiers.
You all should recognize me, Yang Weizhong, and know that I am the governor of the Northern Province appointed by the officials... So I will tell you directly, if this matter comes to pass, those who have no family background will naturally have a good family background, and those who have a family background can also
You have a good future! If you want to stay at home, I can provide you with a serious governor on the spot, so that you can stay at home and have a serious official body to protect your family and the country; if you want to honor your ancestors, I will take you to the imperial palace to meet the official family afterwards.
It’s not a big deal! What can you say?!”
The heroes from all walks of life in the audience looked at each other, and on the one hand they were moved, but on the other hand they were unwilling to take the lead easily. But since everyone is here, who doesn't come here for the background and future mentioned by the old Taiwei Yang?
Then, finally, someone stood up, sang a loud song in the hall, and started talking.
And since someone spoke, the scene became chaotic. This one said that I had fought with the Jin people, and how many soldiers and horses were needed; the other said that the names must be determined first, who will go up and who will go down, before they can send out troops; and others volunteered.
, telling him how many soldiers and horses he would fight with; some people were aggrieved and argued on the spot... What a Dingtao official hall, it turned into a gathering hall for heroes!
Yang Weizhong did not stop or advocate this, but just watched with cold eyes.
However, after talking for a long time, two people finally had the upper hand in the hall. One was Zhang Rong, a hero from Shuibo Liangshan. Behind him was a fisherman from 800 Li Shuibo who was half bandit and half civilian. He was very powerful; the other was from Shuibo Liangshan.
Li Cheng, the bandit leader who escaped from the Zichuan battle that day, was originally from Hebei. After the Jin army occupied Hebei, he fled to Shandong and occupied Zichuan as a bandit. A few months ago, he had fought a battle with Jin Wushu's large army.
He is also highly respected by Shandong heroes.
One is a local snake, the other is a dragon crossing the river. They are almost the same in strength and prestige. They both seem to want to be the leader of the rebel army, Deputy Lieutenant Yang, but they almost draw their swords at each other.
The two argued for a long time. Li Cheng looked back and saw Yue Fei and Ma Kuo sitting on the table nearest to Yang Weizhong. They were looking at him worriedly. He couldn't help being furious. He actually pulled out his sword in front of everyone and pointed at it.
Yue Fei shouted and cursed:
"What do you mean, how dare you roll your eyes at me? Are you looking down on me?"
ps: Sorry everyone, I really didn't notice the time. When I looked up and saw it was 0:00, my heart suddenly went cold... It's my fault, I couldn't help but touch Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV when I came back at night.
