Chapter 440: Han Yue came out

In the fourth year of Longxing, Sichuan and Shaanxi had a bumper harvest. Lai Zijin Tiger sheltered, the surrounding prefectures of Jingzhao Mansion recruited displaced people, provided fields for farming, and coincided with a good year, the wind and rain were smooth, no disasters and harmless, and the people of Shaanxi who had left their hometowns finally had hope. Although the eastern part of Shaanxi was lost, there was still no problem with grain self-sufficiency. And all kinds of materials in Sichuan are also continuously imported into Guanzhong. Xu Shao's strategy of accumulating grain and training troops has taken a solid step.

In such a good year, of course Xu Wei can't forget to add to the Jurchens. During the wheat harvest season in May and June, the righteous army of Dingrong crossed the Weishui one after another, set fire to loot, and destroyed the harvest of the Jin army. The cavalry of the South Road Recruitment Division often sent several waves a day to attack the Guanzhong Plain. Last year, because of Xu Wei's sabotage, the Jin army's harvest was greatly reduced, and it barely survived with the help of Li Zhi in Hedong and the domestic transportation. This year, Xu Wei's old tricks were repeated, and the Jin Army's defense line could not be seamless. When the grain is harvested, as soon as it is total, Lou Suxian, it would be good if this grain could last for five months.

I had no choice but to report to the Privy Council in the clouds again. When Sticky Han heard this, he was furious. But I'm also thinking that the Western Army has been doing this for a long time, and it's not a way to continue. But now it is not realistic to raise a large army to attack Shaanxi. This fight can't be fought, and it can't be supported, nearly 100,000 troops stay in Shaanxi, and the cost is huge, when will it be a head? The powerful people in the Jin country are already quite dissatisfied with this situation, look at the east road of the people's Wushu management, from Hebei to Shandong, and then swept the Central Plains, once chased to the south of the Yangtze River, plundered along the surplus, and made a lot of money. It's good that you spent a lot of energy, folded countless soldiers and horses, and fought in eastern Shaanxi. We haven't seen any benefits, not to mention, we still fill it every year, when will this bottomless pit be filled?

At that time, the minister of the Jin State proposed to the Jin Emperor Wu Qimai that since Dajin supported Gao Shiyou in Lianghe and assigned the eastern part of Shaanxi to him, let's not do this loss-making business. Withdraw Lou Su Ma Wu and others, and let Gao Shiyou run it. Even if Gao Shi is beyond the reach of the whip, isn't there still Hedong Li Zhi? Dajin supports them, that is, let them be emperors and guard the household for us, so why don't you have to wait for them at this time?

Sticky Han is a very hot-tempered man and has a murderous temperament, but he is not a fool. It is precisely because it took a lot of effort to take the eastern part of Shaanxi, so even if you pay a big price, you have to defend this place. With this foothold, it will be much more convenient to attack Shaanxi in the future, and once you give up, you will have to start all over again. Gao Shiyu? Li Zhi? Just these two goods? You ask themselves, are they Xu Hu'er's opponents? I'm afraid that the purple gold tiger will gnaw at the slag left

Wu Qimai asked about Wushu, fortunately, although the fourth prince of the Great Jin Kingdom was the opposite of Sticky Han, he would not abolish the public for personal reasons. He also strongly advocated sticking to eastern Shaanxi. But he agreed to assign the eastern part of Shaanxi to Gao Shiyou. It's just that the Jin army did not retreat, and defended the territory for Gao Shi. It's just that in this way, Gao Shiyu can't express it? Let him pay for him

When Emperor Jin heard this, he thought it was a good idea. I'll give you such a large territory, and it's sending horses, and it's training soldiers, I said that you were difficult a few years ago, but now it's better, right? It's time to share my worries, right? Then an edict was sent to the capital of the puppet Han Daimyo's mansion.

Gao Shi was completely given by the Jurchens by this Han Emperor, how dare he disobey the edict of the Jin Emperor? It's just that his life is also tight, and this part of Hebei has been destroyed by the war. Hukou has plummeted, fields are barren, and some remote counties and towns have almost become ghost towns. In the past two years, you just asked me to raise 100,000 troops for you, and I still have more than 200,000 soldiers to eat, isn't this my life?

But no matter how he complained, the envoys of the Golden Emperor insisted that it didn't matter, you can watch it. Gao Shiyou was so anxious that he couldn't help it, and the golden envoy urged him again, so he had to tighten his belt and save some of his teeth and send it to Shaanxi urgently. He also ordered Hedong Li Zhi to help a little, but it was still far from the amount demanded by the Jin people.

If you are poor, you will think about change, Gao Shiyou and his prime minister Liu Yu discussed for a long time and came to a conclusion. Although the two rivers are both Korean territories, Li Zhi in Hedong has always been a loner and does not take the imperial court seriously. How many catties of grain can be produced in Hebei alone? How many taels of tax can you collect? If you want money and food, you have to fight the idea of the south.

Every time Dajin sent troops, it was a full load. Whether it's asking for it or snatching it, people can get benefits anyway. Why don't we learn from Jin Jun? South Korea has raised more than 200,000 soldiers, so why don't they use it to fight? Don't you dare to fight Shaanxi, don't you dare in the Central Plains? Tokyo has never been broken, how much oil and water should there be in the imperial capital for 100 years? Even if you can't defeat Tokyo, can't you blackmail the Southern Dynasty for a sum of money? Da Song has money

Gao Shiyou was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to immediately drive the army of 100,000 tigers and wolves to swallow the Central Plains. Why haven't you thought of this, I'm the emperor of Korea now, I also have soldiers in my hands, the Jin army can fight, can't I fight? It's just that for such a big matter, he didn't dare to make an arbitrary decision and send someone to play to Emperor Jin. Said to rely on the divine power of the Dajin country, the minister was able to establish a country in the two rivers, this sincerity has never been seen in ancient times, therefore, he often has the heart of repayment, the Jin army has been fighting for many years, and now it needs to recuperate, but the Southern Dynasty has not yet been defeated, he is like a fish in the throat, restless sleep, always thinking about to sweep away this obstacle for the Dajin country. Therefore, it was decided to move south, pass through Shandong, approach Tokyo, sweep the Central Plains, and approach the Yangtze River

When the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom received this performance, they were in an uproar, and no one expected that Gao Shiyou would still have filial piety? Wu Qimai was also surprised, but if he could attack the Southern Dynasty under the pretense of Gao Shiyou, it would be a good thing. It's just a little worried, with the strength of the Korean army, is it enough to fight with the Song army?

Sticky Han and Wushu, who presided over the military, also suggested that they might as well give it a try. Anyway, except for Shaanxi, the Song army is all bird-like. Gao Shiyou's troops, many of them were Song troops in the past, and they fought their own people, at least they were equal, right? If this is the result, it is already good, let them consume, they can't hold it, and Jin Jun will pick up the soft pestle and pinch it again, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?

Wu Qimai felt that it made sense, so he agreed that Gao Shiyou would go south. In order to show the support of the Dajin Kingdom for this child emperor, the Jin Emperor sent a member of the Jin army, a general of the Jin army, with 30,000 people to respond to Gao Shiyu and fight with the Han army. and the edict, really praised Gao Shiyou.

exaggerated the beauty of the high reverse, and the whole body was comfortable. Immediately appointed his younger brother, the privy envoy Gao Xiaogong, as the marshal of the soldiers and horses, led more than 120,000 horse infantry troops, together with the Jin army of 30,000, and gathered 150,000 troops from Hebei. Before setting out for the battle, Gao Shiyou sacrificed the flag to the sky with great posture, and made an enthusiastic speech to the troops under review. Then, the army was mighty and rushed straight to Shandong.

Shandong, a place that had been in chaos before the Song and Jin wars, was the place where bandits were most prosperous. After a while, the Jin army went south, and it was really destructive. After the last Wushu returned to the north, the officials sent to Shandong by Zhenjiang refused to take office. Now Shandong is already a world of bandits and rebels, with hundreds of mountains.

The Korean army is approaching Shandong, but it is indeed overwhelming. Most of those people and mountain kings and leaders of the rebel army are invincible, and the few who dare to come out to fight are often stabbed under the horse. In less than 20 days, the South Korean army has swept through the entire Shandong region.

The telegram was sent back to the Daimyo's Mansion, and Gao Shiyu was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and repeatedly encouraged the soldiers to "guard against arrogance and rashness" and "make persistent efforts", and at the same time did not forget to remind Gao Xiaogong that he should not forget the significance of this expedition? Money and food

By the end of August, the South Korean army had arrived in Wanting County, which was under the rule of Heunginfu. From here, it's just over 130 miles to Tokyo. At that time, the guard general stationed in Wanting, called Wang Gui, was a subordinate of Yue Fei, the commander of the Tokyo Left-behind Division. He had less than 2,000 soldiers in his hands, and the enemy had more than 10,000 people, which was a huge difference.

When the soldiers saw the Korean army coming from the wilderness, they all advised him to temporarily retreat to the border of Jingshi, and wait for the army to assemble before fighting a decisive battle with the Korean army. Wang Gui was quite bold, he saw the Han army rushing over densely on Wanting City, but there was no order. The foot riding is mixed together, just trying to be lively. Then he said to his subordinates: "Although there are many thieves, they are easy to break"

Immediately led more than 1,000 soldiers out of the city, set up a formation, and engaged in battle

The striker of the South Korean army used to be a small officer in Cangzhou, and the deputy soldier and horse envoy of the Ma Army were at the rank of a non-meritorious position. When he saw that the Wanting garrison had two or three kittens like this, and they dared to go out of the city to shout, he couldn't help laughing

But what happened next was like many famous examples in history of winning more with less. When the South Korean army striker did not even swing in a formation and ordered the infantry to assemble and charge, the Song army's strong bow and hard crossbow fired a salvo to coax the Han army, how could he have experienced such a formation? As soon as he saw his companions in front of him fall down one after another, they all stood still, not retreating because they saw that their own forces were far superior to the other party, and it was estimated that they might have a turn for the better if they waited.

But they thought wrongly, as soon as the Korean infantry offensive was contained, Wang Guiti put a machete and crossed the horse to go out of the battle, only to lead less than a hundred horsemen to break into the formation quite a momentum about the siege of the white horse, Wang Gui raised the knife in his hand, cut melons and vegetables, and generally cut down several thieves, and no one dared to approach him. Dozens of horsemen clashed back and forth among the crowd of South Korean troops, shocking these homeless people, soldiers, and thieves trampling on each other, and no matter how the officers greeted them, they could not stop the chaos.

The tragedy was still to come, Wang Gui rushed, the Song army infantry immediately formed a dense formation, blocked the wall and marched in the end, how did the Korean army, which was several times the enemy, come, how to run, and suddenly scattered birds and beasts from the whole battle, to the Song army to collect troops and clean up the battlefield, not an hour came.

This battle dealt a heavy blow to the momentum of the ROK army's "soaring forward" and also greatly boosted the morale of the Song army. It turns out that Han Jun is like this? If it were all of these kinds, even though there were millions, what would it be?

Gao Xiaogong was furious when he heard the news, and personally brought the army to come. At this time, Wang Gui received an order from Yue Fei to retreat to Dongming County, Kaifeng Prefecture. Yue Pengju gathered 6,000 horse infantry troops there, preparing to fight the Han army in Dongming. At the same time, Han Shizhong also led his army south from Huazhou, intending to unite Yue Fei to fight to the death against the army of the puppet dynasty.

The two strongest armies in Tokyo, one in the suburbs of Beijing and one in Huazhou, were used as the main force in the field. Zong Ze, Zhang Suo and others only left a small number of troops to defend the city.

As soon as the news of the Korean army's attack arrived, the Tokyo guard who was in charge of northern affairs was Du Chong. This is a long-overdue exile in Lingnan to eat lychees, when he fled to Tokyo with Zong Ze's troops, and once took the place of Orihiko to lead the army and besiege the Jin army trapped in the city of Huazhou. It was because he didn't understand bullshit that he finally led to the desperate Jindong Road Army breaking through. The boss was going to dispose of him, but he asked him everywhere and escaped. In recent years, he took refuge in Xiang Geng Nanzhong, originally wanting to seek the dispatch of Shaanxi Xuanfu, but did not want to be preempted by Xu Shao, and finally mixed up with Tokyo to stay.

This is not a fat difference in the first place, and although it is said that the Tokyo Left-behind Division is in charge of the military and political affairs of the north. But what else is there in the north that he needs to take care of? Lianghe is already surnamed Gao, will Xu Shao in Shaanxi treat him as a clove of garlic? Therefore, Du Chong has always been obsessed with it, always thinking of finding another job. As soon as the news of the Korean army's attack came out, he wanted to leave. But Zong Ze and Zhang strongly objected. Zong Ze has the merit of King Qin, and he is Yue Fei's superior. Zhang Suoyuan was the envoy of Hebei, and Han Shizhong and Yue Feiyuan were all under his control. These two people opposed at the same time, and Du Chong had no choice, so he stubbornly stayed, ordering Yue Fei to fight on the one hand, and summoning Han Shizhong of Huazhou to return to defense on the other, and in a hurry, he reported to Zhenjiang Xingzai for instructions.

Without waiting for Zhenjiang's approval, Han Jun had already come to the Tokyo boundary and fought with Yue Fei.

At the beginning of September, the Song and Han armies fought in Dongming. Gao Xiaogong, the privy envoy of the puppet dynasty, sent tens of thousands of troops to attack Yue Fei's department. Yue Pengju only believes in one thing when he leads the troops, that is, he does what he does. What the soldier does, what he does, what the soldier eats, what he eats, in a word, is to share weal and woe with the soldiers.

This was originally the basic quality of a general, a general like Xu Wei, who is not willing to share the weal and woe with the soldiers? But Yue Fei is more serious, he doesn't care if he is in the city of Tokyo, or when he is leading the troops, he doesn't drink, he doesn't care, he doesn't live in luxurious house furnishings, and he doesn't eat if the diet is too exquisite. He has a fairly rich salary, but he never keeps a few for himself, and takes them to his colleagues in the Ministry of Prosperity. Even if you get a pear, you can't wait to share it with the whole army.

This kind of person, this twisting force? How could his troops not be cohesive? And Yue Fei is not very tall, and his appearance is not amazing, but he really has nothing to say about his martial arts. Both hands can open a 300-stone hard bow, and he can twist the divine arm bow alone. A single iron gun makes everyone fearful, ghosts and ghosts, and the whole army has no opponent.

When tens of thousands of Han troops attacked, Yue Pengju led his 6,000 soldiers and horses to form a strict formation outside Dongming City. The Han army attacked with all their might, but they kicked to the iron plate, and they couldn't disrupt Yue Fei's formation no matter what, but under the enemy's dense bow and crossbow fire, they lost many soldiers and horses.

At the critical moment, the chief general of the Han army also raised the fine style of taking the lead, leading thousands of cavalry to the flank of Yue Fei's army in an attempt to open a breakthrough. Yue Fei is the tip of the needle, he is not as rich as the Han army, the cavalry combined, less than seven hundred, and the quality of the war horses is uneven. But such a horse army, inspired by the call of the main general, followed him to meet the Korean cavalry.

It is said that the cavalry of the Korean army has the support of the Jurchens, transports war horses, and helps with training, so it should at least be stronger than the cavalry of the Song army. As soon as he saw him, Yue Fei stabbed to death a commander of the enemy army. After two rounds of rushing down, although the cavalry of the Song army discounted a lot, they still followed the main general and howled and charged.

The battle lasted until dusk, when the South Korean army was finally defeated and retreated. The Song army slaughtered a large number of soldiers and captured a large number of Han soldiers. Gao Xiaogong couldn't hold his face, he couldn't let the Jurchens in his companions look at his jokes. It turns out that your Korean army is using this method? Fight the troops of the Tokyo Left-behind Division, and the troops are far superior to the other side, and they are all defeated again and again?

On the second day, he personally went out to suppress the formation, and the elite came out together, attacking and striking with ten times the strength of Yue Fei. However, Yue Pengju was still not chaotic, adhered to the Song army's traditional heavy infantry doctrine, and resisted the onslaught of the Korean army again and again with a well-protected and densely formed infantry formation. The enemy was outnumbered, and the Song army's secret array was once torn open after the bow and arrow were shot, and when it was critical, Yue Fei personally joined the soldiers with a gun, shouting to kill the enemy and report to the country. The battle was fast until the moon and stars were scarce, and the two armies did not distinguish between victory and defeat, Gao Xiaogong had no choice but to stop, and both sides withdrew.

The next day, Han Shizhong led his army to Chenqiao, where Emperor Taizu was dressed in a yellow robe, and sent people to Yue Fei's army. When he learned that Yue Fei's troops had defeated the Han army in a row, Han Shizhong decided to immediately lead his troops into the battle.

At this time, when Gao Xiaogong heard that the reinforcements of the Song army had arrived, he was afraid and divided his troops to block. But Han Shizhong was defeated and successfully joined Yue Fei. Gao Xiaogong couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, the Western Army was just gone, how could the troops of the Tokyo Left-behind Division be able to fight like this? General Jin, who happened to be traveling with him, also took the initiative to propose that the Jin army attack in the coming day to remove this obstacle for the Korean army. Gao Xiaogong thought about it again and again, and decided to let the Korean army fight for a while, and if he couldn't defeat the other party, he would ask the Jin army to come out. This expedition, in addition to fighting the autumn wind, is to show merit to the golden people. Now this gray-faced appearance, how can you see people?

Just when the war was about to start, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong received the silver medal of the fast horse from the Tokyo Left-behind Division to let them withdraw their troops. The left-behind division takes into account that the person that the division relies on is only the second general Han Yue. If Han Yue loses, Tokyo will be in danger. I really don't want to let them risk a decisive battle with the Jin army in the field. They were ordered to withdraw to Tokyo and resist the Korean army with the fortification of the city of Tokyo.

Han Shizhong planned to obey the order, but Yue Fei insisted on refusing. He thought that Gao Shiyou was arrogant and became emperor in Lianghe, which was really a heinous crime. Now that he dares to lead thieves to commit crimes against the Beijing Division, it is simply a deception to me, and no one is willing to attack him head-on, what is the face of those who lead the troops like us?

Yue Fei's insistence on a head-to-head duel was not entirely out of a battle of will. He also took into account that the Jin army invaded the south several times, and the Song army was almost powerless. Now Gao Shiyou dares to touch such a pig and dog-like person. If it doesn't hurt him this time, I'm afraid he will have to do it from time to time in the future. If the order is complied with, it will be a sign of weakness.

Han Shizhong felt his loyalty, and he really gritted his teeth and acted rebelliously, so he resisted the order to withdraw his troops with him and wanted to fight with the Korean army.
