Originally, Li Yan was going to wait for Wang Yan or Hua Rong to arrive, and then send reinforcements to Yue Fei. m.

Judging from Yue Fei's letter, it is impossible to wait for Wang Yan or Hua Rong to arrive at the Hebei fighter, and it may be fleeting.

Li Yan thought about it for a while, and called Wu Ge, Wang De, and Li Yanxian.

Li Yan asked Xu Guanzhong to pass the good news and letter of help from Yue Fei to Wu Ge, Wang De, and Li Yanxian one by one, and said at the same time: "I wanted to give you more time, so that you can familiarize yourself with your troops before going to the battlefield, but Wang Yan, the general of our Chinese army, may have three or four days to reach Tokyo, and the speed of other reinforcements is even slower, and Hebei is related to whether our Dazhong can recover Hebei, Yandi, and Pingzhou in one fell swoop, and then completely drive the Hu people out of the Guanwai, therefore, There is no room for mistakes in the first battle of Hebei, so I am going to send your three troops to reinforce Hebei first, and when Wang Yan and the other troops arrive, I will send a second reinforcement to Hebei, what do you think? ”

Li Yan is indeed embarrassed by Wu Ge, Wang De and Li Yanxian.

Among the troops of the three, Li Yanxian's troops were established the earliest, but it was only a little more than 20 days old.

Not long ago, under Sun Jing's persuasion, Yun Tianbiao brought nearly 10,000 horses under his command to vote for Li Yan.

Li Yan sent Zhang Xian to take over Yun Tianbiao's troops.

Zhang Xian, who understood what Li Yan meant, used both soft and hard measures to reorganize Yun Tianbiao's troops.

First of all, Zhang Xian eliminated and demobilized the old and young in Yun Tianbiao's troops and all those who were fair-skinned, seemed to be clever, and had no scruples when they saw the government. In case they are caught by their superiors, they have enough eloquence to blame others. The so-called rat droppings spoil a pot of soup. In the army, such people will not only not be able to fight, but will play a role in breaking the morale of the army.

(This is the iron law set down by Li Yan when he established the Liangshan Army, tracing the source, which Li Yan summed up from Qi Jiguang's method of recruitment, or it can be said to be copied, and then forcibly instilled it into all Liangshan generals.) ）

The demobilization policy of the Chinese army was very generous, and most of the old and young and the soldiers in Yun Tianbiao's troops were happy to find the demobilization department of the military department to be demobilized, and those who did not want to be demobilized were transferred to the engineering unit by Zhang Xian.

Subsequently, Zhang Xian took out the officers in Yun Tianbiao's team and sent them all to the Seoul Recruit Department and the Political Department for further study, and after they graduated, they were uniformly distributed.

After that, Zhang Xian divided the good soldiers in Yun Tianbiao's team into three parts and handed them over to Yun Tianbiao, part to Zhang Xian's general Guo Jin, and part to Li Yanxian sent by Li Yan.

Later, all three of these forces were expanded into an army of 10,000 people.

Yun Tianbiao and Guo Jin's two troops have been following Zhang Xian's actions, while Li Yanxian's troops were left by Li Yan's side and handed over to Yang Yizhong's command.

After a full battle, Li Yanxian's troops were established in less than a month.

And Wu Ge and Wang De's troops were established in a shorter time, and Li Yan asked them to organize them into an army three days ago, and now it should not be completely clear that they should be under the command.

It is said that in this case, Li Yan should not let these three troops fight.

But after Li Yan thought about it, he still decided to let these three troops reinforce Yue Fei.

There are three reasons for this:

First, Li Yan is afraid of missing the fighter, hmm...... To be more precise, Li Yan was afraid that he would not be able to recover Yanyun and Pingluanying Sanzhou.

Yanyun and Luanying Sanzhou are very important to the Han people, only by recovering all of them, can the Han people not be afraid of the invasion of the Hu people, and can live and work in peace and contentment, in addition, only by recovering all of them, Li Yan can free his hands and feet to annex the vast territory left by the Northern Song Dynasty, and then establish a huge empire.

All in all, now, Li Yan can lose any battle, and he can afford to lose, but Li Yan can't afford to lose this battle.

Therefore, Li Yanning was willing to bury the three troops of Wu Ge, Wang De, and Li Yanxian, and he would never miss any fighters.

Second, Li Yan has confidence in Wu Ge, Wang De, and Li Yanxian.

Wu Ge's record is not to mention, there is no record that is too good.

But looking at Wu Ge's resume, it is not difficult to see that he also grew up in the Western Army, and in the Jingyuan Army, the most elite of the Western Army, participated in dozens of battles, large and small, and made a lot of military exploits.

Moreover, when resisting the Jin people's attack on Bianliang City, Wu Ge proposed many good strategies, but unfortunately none of them were adopted in the end.

Later, after summarizing the battle of Bianliang to defend the city, many people felt sorry for Wu Ge, thinking that he was born at the wrong time, and if he was given a chance, he should be able to become a famous general.

Whether Wu Ge can become a famous general is still two words.

But Wang De and Li Yanxian are definitely famous generals who have been proven by history.

Former.

He has fought countless victories in his life, and defeated Jin, making Liu Guangshi one of the four generals of Zhongxing, and even defeated Jin Wushu head-on.

Latter.

A lifetime of heroic, as bright as a meteor, he enlisted in the army for the second time, the Northern Song Dynasty has died, the Kwantung fell, because he desperately resisted the enemy, only Shaanzhou survived for two years, so that the Jin soldiers could not drive straight in, this is the Southern Song Dynasty for more than 200 years, during this period, he led the army and civilians of Shaanzhou City to fight more than 200 times, annihilated countless enemies, and finally fell because of the exhaustion of food.

In the end, he was cut off by the enemy in a street battle, and escaped under the escort of his subordinates. He threw himself into the river and died at the age of thirty-six.

His entire family was also slaughtered by the Jin soldiers, and only one brother and one son survived.

With famous generals like Wang De and Li Yanxian in charge, why didn't Li Yan dare to give it a go?

Third, the commander of the army this time is Li Yan's most trusted Yue Fei.

Throughout the history of the late Northern Song Dynasty and the early Southern Song Dynasty, in terms of the ability to attack fortifications, the strongest general is none other than Yue Fei and Yue Pengju, whether it is Liu, Han Shizhong, or Wu, they must be ranked behind.

And Yue Fei can beat the Jin army with a group of militia and rebels, Li Yan deserves Yue Fei the foundation of a fierce general and elite soldier this time, in this way, if Yue Fei can't help him recover Yandi, then Yue Fei is too sorry for his great reputation.

Wu Ge, Wang De, and Li Yanxian are not ordinary people.

Therefore, although they understood the difficulties of their trip, Wu Ge, Wang De, and Li Yanxian still accepted this arduous task without hesitation.

Li Yan ordered Wang De to be the acting commander and Li Yanxian to be the acting deputy commander, and took the 30,000 horses to Hebei and handed them over to Yue Fei.

As for how this battle will be fought, it is completely up to Yue Fei to decide.

In addition to sending troops to reinforce the Right Route Army, Li Yan also asked Zhao Ding to cooperate with Zhu Wu to organize another 500,000 people to transport grain, grass, baggage, heavy weapons and materials to Hebei to ensure the supply of the Right Route Army.
