Chapter 102: Yue Fei is here
"Captain Yue, there are about 10,000 horses, escorting hundreds of grain trucks, going in the direction of Yanmen Pass, the soldiers are not quite like our people, but they are under the banner of Han Shizhong, the training envoy of the Taiyuan regiment."
Listening to the scout's report, Yue Fei couldn't help frowning deeply, and his intuition told him that there must be something wrong with this grain transportation team, but what was the problem?
As far as Yue Fei knew, the Great Song Dynasty did not have such a large cavalry team, but why was Han Shizhong leading the team? The direction of going is Yanmen Pass again, is it really a war in the direction of Yanmen Pass?
"You are now divided into two teams, one team will go to Taiyuan City to find out the details, and the other team will try to mix in the grain transportation team and carefully investigate the origin of this team."
Yue Fei only has 500 cavalry on his side, and the other party is 10,000 elite cavalry, no matter how brave he is, he doesn't dare to provoke easily, and he has also approached to investigate, and found that those cavalry are well-trained, which is not at all comparable to these Song troops under him, so he will not dare to act rashly.
But Yue Fei is not a person who gives up easily, such a huge grain transportation team can't go fast at all, and he can keep up without much effort, but he doesn't know what he can do next, so he can only take one step at a time.
Taiyuan is not far from Yanmen Pass, and because there is no war, there are not many garrisons in Yanmen Pass.
Before leaving Taiyuan, Zhao Yu asked Liu Wenguang to issue another edict to change defenses, and then ordered Wu Song to take two thousand iron horsemen to take over Yanmen Pass.
Of the remaining 8,000 iron horsemen, Yeluhuan led 1,000 men and horses to open the way, 4,000 men and horses guarded the left and right wings, and 3,000 men and horses were led by Zhao Yu himself.
The matter after the break was originally Yeluhuan's work, but Zhao Yu once again used his power for personal gain in order to invite him to buy the army's heart, and forced Yeluhuan to go to the front army.
Now as long as the team arrives at Yanmen Pass safely, it is equivalent to a great success, because Yelumin is waiting outside Yanmen Pass, so even if the Great Song army reacts, it can only stare dryly.
Following Zhao Yu's side, Han Shizhong can't say what mood he is, with Liu Wenguang's bastard, he can't explain it even if he has eight mouths, that is to say, he can't go back to the Great Song Dynasty, unless he can make meritorious contributions, stop the grain and grass, and capture this Zhao Yu at the same time.
Just thinking about the two subordinates around Zhao Yu who were like ghosts, Han Shizhong had to give up this unrealistic idea.
In fact, Han Shizhong himself knew that he was attracted by Zhao Yu's crazy thoughts.
"Where the rivers go, where the sun and the moon shine, are the land of China"
It doesn't seem to say so in the Hanshu, right? Could it be that this little highness still wants to unify the world?
Thinking of this possibility, Han Shizhong was taken aback at the same time, but also faintly excited in his heart, after all, this little highness is also a Han Chinese, if he can let the land of Yanyun return to the Central Plains, he will not be able to serve him...
Zhao Yuna knew the changes in Han Shizhong's heart, and seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Yanmen Pass, a bad feeling suddenly surged in his heart, as if something was going to happen.
Although there are scouts before and after, this is not the territory of the Liao people after all, and it is impossible for scouts to be meticulous.
After ordering the team in front to speed up, in order to relieve the tension in his heart, Zhao Yu turned his attention to Han Shizhong beside him.
"General Han, do you think the Song army will chase after you?"
"Humph! Definitely, you won't be able to escape."
Although he admired Zhao Yu's methods in his heart, it was impossible to say that he was not resentful at all.
"Who of your men has the ability to do this?"
Somehow, Zhao Yu suddenly remembered that Yue Fei came, he didn't find him last time, and now that he is in the Liao Kingdom, I am afraid that he will not be able to attract him.
"General Han, I heard that you killed a Western Xia horse, who do you think is more powerful than my Youzhou army and the Western Xia army?"
"Nothing compared, the same rebels and thieves"
"General Han, it doesn't mean anything if you say that, you don't know how I got to Liao, right? Besides, I'm just getting some food, how could I have killed a Great Song Dynasty soldier and civilian? ”
Zhao Yu, who was scolded by a chaotic minister and thief, was a little interested, and suddenly raised his voice and said: "Come on, send General Han to the front army, treat him well, and don't be rude."
If you continue to chat, you have to fight, so let's slowly influence him!
Among the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei can be said to be the most politically minded, but Han Shizhong is different, he is by no means a foolish and loyal person, so Zhao Yu is confident that Han Shizhong will work for him.
Although Zhao Yu was in a hurry, the team was too large, and it was impossible to rush to Yanmen Pass in one go.
In the evening, news came from the front that Wu Song had successfully taken over Yanmen Pass, and the first batch of grain teams had also arrived near Yanmen Pass, and Wu Song had also sent a messenger to contact Yelumin.
Hearing the news, Zhao Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered to set up camp.
Because there were not so many carriages and horses for a while, the grain transportation team was divided into batches, most of the grain and grass were in front, and Zhao Yu escorted only a small part of the remains.
With the help of Liu Wenguang, this time it was almost emptied of the grain and grass in the Taiyuan treasury, according to each carriage loaded with five denier of grain, hundreds of cars are more than 1,000 deniers, according to the calculation of later generations, once about 100 catties, more than 1,000 deniers is more than 100,000 catties, these grains in place, will greatly alleviate the situation of food shortage in Youzhou.
With food, the soldiers also had confidence, not only were they full of respect to Zhao Yu, but their faces were also full of smiles.
The performance of the soldiers was seen by Zhao Yu, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no matter the soldiers of that country, in fact, they really didn't want much.
The night unconsciously engulfs the earth, and the howling cold wind sounds chilling like a ghost crying in the night.
After a day's journey, the unsuspecting men and soldiers were tired, and most of them, except for the necessary guards, went to sleep in their tents wrapped in animal skins.
Zhao Yu couldn't sleep, and after tossing on the animal skin for a while, he finally couldn't lie down and sat up.
As soon as he moved, Yan Qing, who was lying in the other corner of the big tent, also opened his eyes.
"Upset, can't sleep, you sleep yours, I'll go out for a walk"
Without waiting for Yan Qing to speak, a miserable scream suddenly came from a distance, and then the ground shook like thunder.
It was not the first day that Zhao Yu had come into contact with cavalry, so he immediately reacted, this was the sound of a large group of cavalry galloping over.
Yan Qing jumped up violently and said, "The situation has changed, Your Highness go quickly!" ”
In fact, the scream was enough to explain everything, and before Zhao Yu could react, shouts of killing and shouts for help suddenly came from outside the tent.
"It's on fire! Run! ...”
"Rush! Kill! ...”
Fuck, who is this! Is it so good at pinching time?
Yan Qing didn't give Zhao Yu time to ponder at all, waved his knife to cut a big hole behind the tent, and then pulled up Zhao Yu and ran out.
When the two ran out of the big tent, they found that a fire had broken out in the southeast of the camp, and the wind helped the fire, which soon spread to the entire camp.
In the firelight, in addition to the soldiers and people who ran around like flies, a group of men and horses also rushed in like a gust of wind.
The first was a white-robed young general with a bright silver gun, and the young general's goal was very clear, it was Zhao Yu's tent.
Somehow, looking at the young general who was rushing over, Zhao Yu suddenly had a sense of déjà vu...
