…

Actually-

The battle between China and Jinjin was the most intense, no, to be precise, it should be that the most tragic battle was not Henan, nor Hebei, but Liaodong.

After receiving Li Yan's order to contain the main force of the Jin army and wait for the opportunity to seize Yandi and Pingluanying Sanzhou, Wu Jue, who had been prepared for a long time, personally led his 80,000 elite troops to attack, preparing to take Jinzhou, come to Zhou, attack Yuguan, and the target, Jin Nanjing (that is, Pingzhou).

At the same time, Wu Jue also attacked Yingzhou with a naval army.

A two-pronged approach.

Wu Juman thought that he would be able to win with one blow this time, help Li Yan and the Han people recapture the three states of Pingluanying, and then capture Yanyun, making immortal achievements.

Which Cheng thought that as soon as Wu Jue's 80,000 army came out of Liaodong, it was stubbornly blocked by the elite of the 50,000 Jin army led by Wanyan Xieye, and the two sides fought a big battle in Gaojiaweizi in the south of Jinzhou.

In that battle, it was so dark that in the end, even the pro-troops of the main generals on both sides went into battle.

Fighting until dark, neither side was sure of victory, and then they each paid their own troops.

In the first battle alone, more than 20,000 elites were killed and wounded on the Chinese side, and the Jin army took the lead, and the casualties were much less than those on the Chinese side, but there were also 15,000 or 6,000.

Wu Jue was unwilling to be defeated (in fact, it was quite a fight, after all, the Chinese army was the side that was blocked, and it was no longer a defeat if it could fight to this extent), and on the second day, he fought a decisive battle with Wanyan Xie.

As a result, the two sides fought again.

On the third day, we fought again.

It's still comparable.

After three battles, the Chinese army has suffered more than 40,000 casualties.

And the dead and wounded on the Jin army's side are close to 30,000.

In other words, more than half of the casualties on both sides have already been killed.

For an average army, with such high battle losses, it would have collapsed long ago.

But Wu Jue and Wan Yan Xianye's army did not collapse.

Not only did it not collapse, but both sides were still studying how to defeat the other.

Wu Jue used these three days to transport 500 Ben Lei Che, preparing to use Ben Lei Che as the main force to defeat Wan Yan Xianye.

Unexpectedly, the next day of the battle, Wan Yan Xian also changed his tactics, no longer like the previous three days, hard to fight, but relying on the strong mobility of the golden cavalry, has been fighting with the Chinese army.

Seeing this, Wu Jue, who originally wanted to attack with a thunder car, could only use a thunder car for defense - the thunder car can not only attack, but also defend, and the car is connected to each other, no matter how clever Ren Jinqi's riding skills are, he can't rush in.

As a result, the two sides were at a stalemate here in Gaojiaweizi.

It is said that when the battle reaches this level, Wu Jue should withdraw his troops, because if the battle continues, there will not be much success.

But Wu Jue didn't.

First, Wu Jue was unwilling to let the meritorious opportunity he had waited for so hard be gone.

Second, Wu Jue received an order not only to wait for an opportunity to seize Yanyun and Jin Nanjing, but also to contain the main force of the Jin army.

Therefore, Wu Jue not only did not stop fighting, but transferred 20,000 reinforcements from behind, and he had the posture of following Yan Xian to the end.

Wan Yan Xian also saw this, and had to transfer another 10,000 elite cavalry from Yanjing to the battlefield.

Let me explain here that Wan Yan Xian has not thought that the strategic goal of the Chinese army this time is to capture Yanyun.

But if you don't increase your troops, you may be defeated.

Second, the distance from Shangjing is too far, and the distant water cannot quench the thirst of the near.

Third, not long ago, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang also sent back good news that they had destroyed Zhao Song and would soon lead the army back to Yanyun - Wanyan Xian also felt that Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang would not make the mistake of not even guarding their own back road, so they transferred 10,000 elite horsemen from Yanjing for emergency.

At the same time, Wan Yan Xian also sent a message to Jin Shangjing, asking Jin Shangjing to send a large army to reinforce as soon as possible.

In Wan Yan's view, he has done it foolproof.

It's a pity that Wan Yan Xian didn't expect two things.

The first thing, Wan Yan Xian did not expect that in addition to attacking by land, Wu Jue also sent the general Li Bao to attack Yingzhou from land and water.

The second thing, Wan Yan Xian didn't expect that Yue Fei had already led the army north, huh...... To be precise, it should be, Wanyan Xian didn't expect that Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang would be defeated so quickly and so completely.

In fact, Wan Yan Xian did not lose in his ability, but in communication.

After Yue Fei captured the Yellow River, he sent Wang Sheng to lead cavalry to patrol the river day and night, and several waves of messengers from Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang were robbed by Wang Sheng, so that the Jin State still did not know the situation in the south.

When Wang De, Li Yanxian, and Wu Ge came to aid with a large army, Yue Fei made a decision according to the current situation and left the Yellow River to Wang Sheng and Xu Qing to garrison, while he himself led the rest of the troops and Wang De, Li Yanxian, and Wu Ge to immediately go north.

The vanguard led by Wang Gui first recovered Zhending Mansion, and then repelled the Jin army besieging Zhongshan Mansion.

But then, Wang Gui ran into trouble - Chen Yu of Zhongshan Mansion did not surrender, even if Chen Shi (Chen Yu's brother) brought by Wang Gui explained the current situation in the Central Plains to Chen Yu.

After Yue Fei arrived, he reprimanded Wang Gui, and then sent a cavalry to replace the Jin people to lock up Zhongshan Mansion. In addition, after hearing that Zhongshan Mansion had been out of food for many days, Yue Fei sent 300,000 stone of grain to Zhongshan Mansion. Then, he led his army to continue northward.

Bian Bei and Yue Fei personally trained the three new armies of Wang De, Li Yanxian, and Wu Ge.

In this practice, Wang De, Li Yanxian, and Wu Ge all had numb scalps.

The discipline of the Chinese army is strict and famous all over the world, but it is not as strict as Yue Dashuai - the soldiers under Yue Dashuai are really freezing to death without demolishing houses, starving to death without plundering, and absolutely fair trading.

Wang De, Li Yanxian, and Wu Ge have personally experienced one thing.

One of Yue Fei's personal soldiers, who had been fighting with Yue Fei in the south and north for many years, was said to be Yue Fei's hometown, and when he bought fish, he failed to suppress the enthusiasm of the fishermen and gave two cents less, and was executed by Yue Fei in public.

In the eyes of Wang De, Li Yanxian, and Wu Ge, Yue Fei was harsh to the point that he was already a little ruthless.

But then again, it is precisely because Yue Fei is so harsh that the reputation of the Chinese army has spread farther and farther, so that wherever the Chinese army passes, there are everywhere there are sandwich roads to welcome, many cities are not attacked, and many militias and rebels in Hebei compete to follow, such as Pang Rong, Fu Qing, Cao Cheng, Liang Xing, Zhao Yun, Li Jin, and so on.

For these people who came to vote, Yue Fei did not refuse to come, accepted them all, and then took them north.

By the time Yue Fei reached Xiongzhou and Bazhou, there were nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command.

You must know that Yue Fei only brought less than 20,000 horses in total when he went north this time (the rest of the right army was left by Yue Fei to guard the Yellow River).

Later, Wang De, Li Yanxian, and Wu Ge brought another 30,000 horses.

In this way, Yue Fei had nearly 50,000 horses.

In other words, along the way, Yue Fei recruited more than 50,000 horses.

Moreover, Yue Fei has a tendency to continue to expand the army.

Some people couldn't help but start to worry, afraid that Yue Fei would have a heart of disobedience, occupy Hebei, and even Yanyun, and then become a prince of his own.

Soon, dozens of secret letters, through various channels, were sent to the imperial court and to Li Yan.
