Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters battle to destroy the country
As the saying goes, auspicious snow heralds a good year. This year, there was a heavy snowfall in the north, turning the sky and the earth a silvery white color. All the officials who had been in office for more than half a month looked at the heavy snow with smiles on their faces.
These officials were all selected by Li Gang, Zhang Shuye, Zongze and others from among the many officials in the Song Dynasty. Not to mention that all of them were capable ministers and officials, but at least they were not the kind of corrupt and incompetent officials.
Besides, no one would dare to go to Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to become an official unless they had enough self-confidence.
Who doesn't know that the Sixteenth State of Yanyun is still under the control of Chu Yi. Anyone who is not a fool knows how terrifying Chu Yi is to this existence.
Therefore, under such circumstances, most of those who dare to come to Yanyun Sixteen Provinces to serve as officials are at least somewhat capable and confident.
The phenomenon of redundant officials in the Song Dynasty was extremely serious. If there were no capable ministers and officials in the Song Dynasty, I am afraid not many people would agree. However, those capable ministers and officials who could really do things were buried one by one, and they were depressed and frustrated.
The officials above the court do not want to go to the land of Yanyun Sixteen States to be restrained by others. Even if they accidentally fail to control themselves and do something, they may even lose their lives.
Therefore, Li Gang, Zongze and others were not disturbed by the ministers in the court when selecting officials. Instead, those people eagerly hoped that Li Gang and others could select the officials to be sent to the sixteen states of Yanyun.
Hundreds of officials, large and small, went north, which meant that the Song Dynasty began to take over the sixteen states of Yanyun from top to bottom. Although it was said that these officials were in a very bad situation when they went down to serve as local officials, Chu Yi's
What is shocking is that among the local families, the officials are more honest than the last.
They are not afraid of these officials sent by the Song Dynasty, but they are afraid of Chu Yi.
These people watched helplessly as Chu Yi wiped out Wanyan Zongwang's tribe with hundreds of thousands of troops. Even the most elite troops of Dai Jin were wiped out in Chu Yi's hands. So if they really dared to make some noise,
If you keep it, you will die very miserably.
Chu Yi was wearing a big cloak, looking at the heavy goose feather snow falling between the sky and the earth in the distance. His eyes fell on Yang Zhi beside him and said: "Lu Shinang, Zhu Wu, the court has prepared the grain and fodder needed for the Northern Expedition in the coming year."
?”
After looking at each other, Zhu Wu cupped his hands and said, "Go back to your lord, the imperial court has begun to raise the food and fodder needed for the army. If nothing unexpected happens, there is no need to worry about it affecting the Northern Expedition."
Chu Yi nodded slightly.
Although the success of the Northern Expedition mainly depends on whether his powerful celestial beings can suppress the powerful celestial beings of Da Jin. As for those soldiers, their more important role is to occupy cities, govern and restrain local places.
order.
If one by one heavenly beings and powerful beings were allowed to take charge of each town, I am afraid that if all the heavenly beings and powerful beings in today's world were multiplied ten times or a hundred times, they might not be able to be distributed to all the towns.
The Northern Expedition army must dispatch at least hundreds of thousands of horses. This is without the auxiliary troops who move grain and fodder. It involves the provision of grain and military supplies for hundreds of thousands of horses. This is not a small matter. If during the Northern Expedition, grain and fodder,
If there is a problem with military supplies, anyone with a little bit of brain can imagine the consequences that will arise.
Lu Shinang smiled and said at this moment: "If the prince is worried, why not send someone back to the capital to supervise the matter personally? I think the imperial court will definitely pay more attention to it."
Chu Yi just smiled. Zhao Gou might have small thoughts or even small moves, but Chu Yi didn't mind. As long as Zhao Gou no longer caused any trouble in the general direction, as for Zhao Gou's actions, Chu Yi
Just pretend you didn't see it.
Obviously, for Chu Yi, the Northern Expedition is the most important thing at the moment. To put it more closely, it is directly related to how much luck Chu Yi can gain.
On the one hand, Chu Yi's Northern Expedition was to conquer his homeland for the Han family, and on the other hand, it was to harvest a large amount of luck. The fastest way to harvest luck in this world is to destroy a country.
It can only be said that Dajin was extremely unlucky. Before Chu Yi could decide who to attack first, Dajin himself sent his troops south to attack Chu Yi.
Now is the time for Chu Yi to work hard and destroy the majestic national destiny of Dajin in one fell swoop. It can be said that whoever dares to stop Chu Yi from destroying Dajin must be his enemy.
Under normal circumstances, Chu Yi should indeed send someone back to Beijing as Lu Shinang said, but Chu Yi did not do that.
Zhao Gou may have shortcomings of one kind or another, but one thing is very obvious, that is, Zhao Gou is very aware of current affairs. He knows what can and cannot be done better than anyone else.
It was precisely because of Zhao Gou's character that Chu Yi was not worried at all about what Zhao Gou would do during his Northern Expedition.
To put it another way, even if Zhao Gou was deceived and did something drastic, Chu Yi would still be confident enough to break into the heart of the Jin people and destroy the Jin people, which would only result in greater losses in the process.
Time is like water, fleeting.
Just like in the blink of an eye, the cold winter has passed, and when spring flowers bloom, the city of Beiping in Youzhou is full of vitality.
Green crops were growing vigorously in the fields outside the city, and in this ancient city, in a mansion, dozens of generals, large and small, were standing in the hall with solemn expressions.
Chu Yi glanced at the crowd and said slowly: "Everyone, as the saying goes, raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a while, I am determined to send troops to the north tomorrow. I will not destroy the Jin people and swear not to return them. Are you willing to help me?"
All the people bowed down and said loudly: "I am willing to die for Your Highness, I will not destroy the golden man, and I swear not to return it."
The momentum was overwhelming. Although there were only dozens of people, there were no less than ten beings at the heavenly level among them. When these people shouted in unison, the people in less than half the city could hear the shouts.
sound.
When many Han family members heard the shouts, their faces showed excitement. They looked in the direction of the magistrate's office and said with some excitement: "The prince is finally going to send troops."
Chu Yi's thoughts about the Northern Expedition have never been hidden on weekdays, so almost everyone in the city knew that Chu Yi was going to make the Northern Expedition to Dajin sooner or later.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that this day would come so soon. Just when many people cheered, many spies placed by the Jin people in Beiping City changed their expressions one by one, and quickly tried every means to send troops to Chu Yi.
news came out.
When the army left Youzhou, there were many troops and horses along the way. If the auxiliary troops recruited were included, it can be said that Chu Yi sent no less than 200,000 troops for the Northern Expedition.
This is not an exaggerated number, but a real number of more than 200,000.
It has to be said that the foundation of the Song Dynasty is quite astonishing. The food, fodder and ordnance required by the 200,000 horses were actually neatly purchased by the court, and there were even a few extra.
Not only did Zhao Gou have no intention of holding back Chu Yi, but he cooperated fully and even suppressed the suggestions of some courtiers with ulterior motives who took the opportunity to cut off Chu Yi's food and fodder and kill Chu Yi.
Zhao Gou knew very well that his position was unfair, especially now that Huizong Zhao Ji and former prince Zhao Huan were still alive, the only one he could rely on was Chu Yi.
Perhaps in the face of power, he and Chu Yi can be regarded as enemies, but no matter what, they are just grasshoppers on the same rope. If something happens to Chu Yi, Zhao Gou can guarantee that his throne will be lost.
You may not be able to sit firmly.
Moreover, Zhao Gou still had some ambitions in his heart. The biggest dream of the emperors of the Song Dynasty was to one day succeed in the Northern Expedition and take back the land of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. However, hundreds of years later, the dreams of the emperors of the Song Dynasty could only be
It's a dream.
However, in his generation, the Sixteenth State of Yanyun was conquered. Even though the emperor looked more like a puppet, Zhao Gou dared to say that his name would definitely be recorded in the history books of later generations.
This time Chu Yi is preparing to go all the way north to completely destroy the Jin Dynasty. Zhao Gou is extremely excited. If Chu Yi can really destroy the Jin Dynasty, this means that the Song Dynasty will be completely wiped out.
Not to mention the hidden dangers in the north, it can at least protect the peace of the border for hundreds of years in the Song Dynasty.
This is almost equivalent to prolonging the war of the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years. Zhao Gou would only hinder Chu Yi if his head was broken. Even those officials who had evil intentions and encouraged him to cut off Chu Yi's food and grass
It was also captured directly by Zhao Gou and escorted to the army, and handed over to Chu Yi for disposal.
In this way, Chu Yi did not have to worry about the problems in the rear. The morale of the army was even higher, and the marching speed could not help but be a little faster.
Marching like this for almost more than a month, hundreds of thousands of troops traveled thousands of miles. They encountered no resistance at all along the way, but all the cities under Da Jin's rule were indifferent.
On a carriage, Chu Yi was playing chess with Lu Junyi when a figure appeared on the spacious carriage, kneeling and sitting aside.
After falling, Chu Yi glanced at the other party and said: "Lü Shinang, where is the forward of our army now?"
Lu Shinang, as the counselor accompanying the army, quickly said to Chu Yi: "Report to the prince, the vanguard army, with Fang Jie and Yang Zaixing as commanders, has now arrived in Dajin, a hundred miles away from Huining Mansion in Beijing."
If it were not for Chu Yi's intrusion, the capital of the Jin Kingdom would have moved several times over the course of more than a hundred years, from Huiningfu in Beijing to Peking as the central capital and then to Kaifeng in Nanjing, symbolizing the path from the rise to the demise of Jin.
Today, Dajin has not yet moved from Huining Prefecture in Shangjing to Beiping, Youzhou. After leaving the customs, the land has suddenly become much more desolate. There is often not a village for dozens of miles, which shows the desolation of the ancestral land of Dajin.
Lu Junyi smiled slightly and said, "Except for the spies sent by the Jin people, no soldiers came to stop them at all. Even Fang Jie and Yang Zaixing appeared hundreds of miles away from Huining Mansion. Now it seems that the Jin people
I really want to decide the outcome in one battle."
Lu Shinang's eyes flashed and he nodded repeatedly: "What Deputy Commander Lu said is that the Jin people gathered their troops from all walks of life and gathered in Shangjing City. Their intention was to fight us in Shangjing City.
To determine the winner, my subordinates suggested that the army immediately set up camp and rest for a few days before sending out troops."
Needless to say, what Lu Shinang was worried about was that the army was working hard for an expedition, but the Jin people were waiting for work. If the Jin people took advantage of the fatigue of the army and suddenly launched an offensive, they might really overwhelm the army.
Even Lu Junyi looked at Chu Yi with a serious expression and said: "Counsellor Lu's concerns are not unreasonable. As long as the Jin people are not fools, they will definitely seize such an opportunity to launch an offensive. Therefore, the general also implores His Highness to order the army to set up camp immediately.
"
Chu Yi didn't pay much attention to the worries of the two. With Yang Zaixing and Fang Jie's vanguard dozens of miles away, even if the Jin army came to kill them, the army would have enough time to react.
Unless they were caught off guard, if hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses who had been training for a whole winter could not stop even a Jin man from charging, then it would not be a pity if these soldiers and horses collapsed.
However, Chu Yi did not refuse the two people's suggestions. It would be best if he could not take risks, so Chu Yi agreed to the two people's suggestions after only a moment of consideration.
While the army was setting up camp, in the capital city of Dajin, a group of high-ranking Jin people headed by Emperor Wu Qimai of Dajin were standing neatly in front of an army of hundreds of thousands of people.
Then Wu Qimai pulled out his sword and shouted: "All soldiers, follow me to fight the Song army. I will not destroy the Song army. I vow not to give up. I am with all the soldiers!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The desolate horn sounded, and there were hundreds of thousands of troops, including a hundred thousand cavalry alone, and among them there were as many as sixty or seventy thousand pure Jin soldiers.
Such an army can run almost unimpeded if it relies solely on its strength.
Wu Qimai was worthy of being the emperor who had fought and fought with Wanyan Aguda since he was a child. This time, he chose to fight in person without any hesitation.
Wu Qimai knew very well that even if he did not go on a personal expedition, once the army was defeated, he, the Emperor of Jin, would not end well. In this case, why not go on a personal expedition, at least to improve the morale of the army?
?
Of course, another reason is that these hundreds of thousands of troops are already Daikin's last asset. No matter if it is handed over to anyone, Wu Qimai is actually not at ease in his heart.
If there is a big victory this time, and if the leader of the army is very ambitious, with the momentum of a big victory, even he, the Emperor of Jin, may not be able to regain military power.
"Set off!"
With a loud shout, thousands of horses galloped, and a hundred thousand cavalry roared out. The scene was so shocking that even gods would be frightened when they saw it.
Fang Jie and Yang Zaixing had a total of 10,000 cavalry, accounting for almost half of the Northern Expedition army.
He took back the sixteen states of Yanyun and captured more than 100,000 Jin people and horses. It is said that if Chu Yi is willing, there is no problem in raising tens of thousands of cavalry.
It's just that cavalry is different from infantry. Infantry soldiers are the easiest to train, as long as they dare to carry swords and guns to fight, but cavalry cannot. At least there is a prerequisite, you must be able to ride a horse.
The Song Dynasty lacked horses, so it was said that the Song Dynasty had the most heavy infantry in hundreds of years. There were very few soldiers in the army who could fight on horseback. Even Chu Yi could not suddenly create tens of thousands of cavalry soldiers who were proficient in riding skills.
Come out.
Among the vanguard troops who were patrolling all directions with slowed down speed and vigilance, many soldiers were suddenly startled, and then a look of confusion appeared on their faces.
Fang Jie and Yang Zaixing glanced at each other, and saw Yang Zaixing rising into the sky, appearing above the sky in the blink of an eye. Looking from a distance, with Yang Zaixing's eyesight, he could see a dark mass of cavalry several miles away.
A black ocean swept toward them.
When he saw the dark mass of cavalry, which numbered no less than tens of thousands, Yang Zaixing couldn't help being startled, his expression frightened, and his body turned into a stream of light and fell down.
Seeing that something was wrong with Yang Zaixing's expression, Fang Jie couldn't help but look at Yang Zaixing and said, "Yang Zaixing, what's going on?"
Taking a deep breath, Yang Zaixing suppressed the turbulence in his heart and said in a deep voice: "It's not bad. Tens of thousands of Jin cavalry troops are rushing towards us. The momentum is huge and extremely shocking."
Fang Jie was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he rose up into the sky. Looking around, even though he was mentally prepared, Fang Jie couldn't help but look extremely ugly.
"withdraw!"
Even a proud man like Fang Jie clearly realized when he saw the tens of thousands of Jin's cavalry sweeping in with an overwhelming force. If the vanguard army alone wanted to overpower the Jin's cavalry, he was afraid that it would be impossible.
In the end, he and Yang Zaixing were the only two people who survived.
Yang Zaixing roared loudly, and the army immediately turned around and headed away. Although there was some confusion, at least there was no trouble.
Seeing the army leaving, Yang Zaixing looked at Fang Jie who was holding Fang Tian's painted halberd and said with a smile: "You and I will stop this golden man today, otherwise once he is caught up by the golden man, even if it is from the General Manager's faction,
Come and help, I'm afraid even the vanguard army will not be able to escape."
The two of them knew very well that once the Jin really caught up with the vanguard army, Chu Yi would always send a few heavenly warriors and they might not be able to stop the tens of thousands of Jin cavalry coming like a torrent.
A considerable number of soldiers and horses entered the vanguard army. Besides, it is impossible for the Jin people to not have the powerful gods and men to accompany the army.
The speed of the cavalry was extremely fast, but it was just a matter of seconds. In the sight of Yang Zaixing and Fang Jie, a black torrent appeared on the horizon, sweeping in with overwhelming force.
