It is common for some people to demean Yue Fei's martial arts, saying that Yue Fei's big gun is just invincible in Tangyin County, and it is nothing in the entire Hebei Road. But I didn't know that at the turn of the two Song Dynasty, marksmanship was invincible in Tangyin, in fact, it was invincible in the country.

At the turn of the two Song Dynasty, there were many heroes in Tangyin County. The world-famous ones include giant Kou, Cao Cheng, Li Heng, Qi Fang and other generations, and famous generals include Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Xu Qing, Yang Zaixing, Dong Xianfu, Xuan Kou Cheng and others. Li Heng had more than 100,000 troops, and Cao Cheng attacked the two Huai, and went straight to Jinghu and Guangzhou, almost disrupting the entire Jiangnan. If Yue Fei had not led the troops to seek peace, perhaps Zhao Gou's Bi'an Dynasty would have been destroyed by Cao Cheng, Li Cheng, Li Heng and others without waiting for the Jin State to attack.

Seeing that Ji Qian said easily, Ran Qing immediately pouted and asked, "Won't you also be senior brothers?" ”

This time, Yue Fei shook his head, "I haven't seen Yang Zaixing. But I heard the teacher say that the Yang family's big gun is really terrifying. Ji Qian, if you want to fight Yang Zaixing one day, you must not be brave and go it alone. ”

Ji Qian scratched her head embarrassedly, "Brother Yue, if you don't say it, I won't fight Yang Maozi alone." I'll only go with two of you. ”

Hua Ruyu had never seen Yang Zaixing's marksmanship, and asked unconvinced, "Is that Yang Zaixing really that powerful?" I met him, and I had to fight him. ”

Ji Qian hurriedly shouted, "Alas, my good lady, don't be reckless." I estimate that when it comes to heads-up in this world, only Brother Yue can withstand him. ”

Yue Fei shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either." ”

Ran Qing saw that Yue Feiji, Qianhua Ruyu and the three of them opened their mouths to fight alone, and closed their mouths to fight alone, and immediately said unhappily, "Fighting is not a battle for heroes in the rivers and lakes to fight alone. No matter how powerful a hero is, he is vulnerable in front of thousands of troops. Don't be poisoned by the three of you, if you don't learn the art of war, you have to learn how to fight with heroes. ”

Yue Fei straightened his clothes and said with a serious face, "Thank you for your guidance." It made Ran Qing laugh again.

That night, I stayed in Ranjiazhuang. There are many empty rooms in Ranjiazhuang. According to Ran Taigong, there were more than 2,000 people in the village during the Xuanhe period, and after the second looting by the Jin soldiers the year before and this year, the population decreased by at least several hundred.

Seeing that when Taigong Ran talked about the atrocities of the Jin Army, his beard was shaking, Yue Fei couldn't help but think a little sadly, this is the beginning. The hundred-year suffering of the Central Plains has just begun.

Everywhere the Jin people went, the butcher's knife was held high, and on the land of the Central Plains, there were many people who broke their homes and destroyed their doors. The old and weak women and children were destroyed by the horses' hooves, and the young and strong were sold to Yanyun and the Jin people's hometowns as slaves. Or forcibly shave their hair and change their clothes, as a sign army. What is the signing of the army, that is, the soldiers who have neither weapons nor armor, feed horses and water to the Jin people in non-wartime, and act as meat shields and cannon fodder in wartime.

After a big battle, the signing army will often suffer two-thirds of the casualties. However, even if the casualties are over, the Jin people are not afraid, anyway, they can still arrest the Song people everywhere. In fact, whether it was an organized massacre or an improvised killing, the Jin people had only one purpose, which was to make the Song people in the Central Plains drastically reduced. At least it will be reduced to less than the Jin people, and the entire Central Plains will become a ranch for them to sit back and relax.

This tactic is known as bloodletting. The Wuhu Chaohua of the previous dynasty, and the later Temujin and Nurhachi, all used this tactic to attack and plunder the Central Plains. Anyway, all means were exhausted in order to make the proportion of Han people plummet. In order to resist the brutal rule of the Jin people, the uprising of the people of the Central Plains has never been interrupted. If nothing else, let's just say that the loyal militia of Taihang Mountain, the Zhongjin Dynasty, and even the Zhongyuan Dynasty, have not been completely wiped out. The people in the mountains rebelled from generation to generation, just to be a person who stood up to the sky and the earth, not to be a slave of a different race.

But when Zhu Yuanzhang expelled Meng Yuan and recovered the Central Plains, the Central Plains had already been ruined, uninhabited for thousands of miles, and there was no prosperity in the Northern Song Dynasty that was ahead of the world.

You must know that in the Northern Song Dynasty, the development of the south of the Yangtze River had just begun, and the prosperous scenery of the Central Plains made Hu merchants who had just arrived in the Central Plains exclaim, thinking that they had arrived in the land of heaven. But since the shame of Jingkang, the entire Central Plains has sunk to this day.

However, looking at the slightly desolate ruined wall under the moonlight, and looking at the sad and angry face of Taigong Ran, Yue Fei secretly made up his mind once again that in this life, I, Yue Fei, would never let the tragedy happen again. Those who want to destroy my Central Plains Merry, whether it is Jin Yu, Liukou, or the new emperor Zhao Gou, will die.

Early the next morning, Yue Fei bid farewell to Zhang Hengran, Taigong and others, and led five hundred backs to continue on the road. However, this time there were dozens of more people, all of whom were strong men from Ranjiazhuang. When Mrs. Ran saw that her granddaughter, who had the most ideas, had left home, she was inevitably a little sad in her heart. However, he quickly cheered up and asked some of his clansmen to join Zhang Heng's water village in order to temporarily hold on to his family's thousands of acres of fertile land. Don't let it go to the wasteland just yet. He took another part of his clansmen, escorted by Zhang Heng personally, all the way to Yingtianfu.

Ran Taigong went to take refuge. Zhang Heng went to Huang Zong and Li Taigong to ask for armor and weapons. Yue Fei left two personal soldiers. He also wrote a letter to Master Zhihun and Huang Zong and Li Bashao. The letter only said that Zhang Heng was a good man who sincerely resisted Jin, and had agreed to unite with the Protector Army, so please give Zhang Heng more weapons and armor.

With Yue Fei's handwritten letter and two personal soldiers as evidence, Zhang Heng was warmly welcomed by the Protector Army whether he arrived in Kaide Mansion or Yingtian Mansion. Later, when Zhang Heng returned from Yingtian, he returned to Neihuangshuizhai with a thousand pieces of infantry armor and thousands of spears. With these weapons, Zhang Heng quickly recruited thousands of men. The power of Shuizhai expanded rapidly, and Zhang Heng managed to get in touch with Zhang Rong, a famous water general who was still crisscrossing Liangshanbo. It's just that Zhang Rong has already taken the line of King Kang and Zhao Gou, and moved the navy to the Huai River area. Zhang Heng sighed, moved part of his men and horses to Liangshanbo, and set up a second water village.

Besides, Yue Fei and the others passed Neihuang in two days and entered the territory of Tangyin. But looking at the large areas of ruins, looking at the almost uninhabited villages, Yue Fei almost couldn't believe that this was Tangyin County.

You must know that Tangyin County is a plain, and the population has always been dense, but now you can't see a single figure after walking for a few miles. Occasionally, I saw a villager with two ragged faces and numb faces from the village, and as soon as he saw Yue Fei and the others on horseback, he immediately ran into the village like a ghost. There is no trace of them at all.

The eyes of the five hundred backed soldiers were full of fire. You must know that half of them are from Tangyin County, and now they are angry when they see their homes like this.

Yue Fei came back this time, not only to pick up his mother and children, but also to take most of the family members of the Beiwei Army to Ying Tianfu. After all, once the war starts this winter, Xiangzhou is one of the main battlefields of the Jin people.

The Jin people only occupied Tangyin for three months, and they destroyed a densely populated county town like this. Let them occupy it for a long time, and Tangyin has a tendency to become a grassland.

Of course, Yue Fei also understood that the people of Tangyin would not be captured, and most of them ran to Taihang Mountain to escape the military disaster. As long as you go up to Taihang Mountain, you will definitely be able to find the families of many soldiers.

Still, there are brave residents who still live on their estates, guarding their own acres of land. Before they had gone up to Taihang Mountain, the families of the Beiwei Army had already found hundreds of people.

Seeing his children and grandchildren come back so mightily, Tang Yin's father was inexplicably overjoyed. However, under Yue Fei's persuasion, in order not to be bullied by the Jin people who were about to go south again, they still reluctantly abandoned the countryside and began to prepare to move to Kaide Mansion.

Yue Fei doesn't think he is invincible in the world, he understands very well that with the current strength and combat strength of the Protector Army, it would be good to be able to hold the current territory this winter and next spring. If you want to recover Jinrenzhou County again, it is almost an impossible task. After all, this winter, the Jinren Third Route will go south, and the Middle Route Army will be the main force. The strategic targets of the Middle Route Army were Xiangzhou, Huaxian, Xijing, Henan, Zhengzhou, Caozhou, and Yingtianfu.

After Tangyin County, Xiangzhou Mansion is already in sight. It is not only Xiangzhou Mansion that I saw, but also the Jin ** Army that surrounded Xiangzhou Mansion. At this time, Xiangzhou had been under the siege of the Jin people for nearly half a year, and the Jin people still had no hope of taking it. Although after the Jin people went north, only a few thousand Han army besieged Xiangzhou, and thousands of Liao Changsheng troops who surrendered to Jin, but Xiangzhou City could not defeat these Jin troops. Zong Ze, who was sitting in Bianliang, repeatedly wanted to send a large army north to rescue Xiangzhou, but he failed under Du Chong's obstruction.

At this time, the governor of Xiangzhou was Zhao Butry, who was the Zhao Song clan, just because Zhao Butry offended the now powerful ruling Huang Qianshan, and Huang Qianshan had already made up his mind to put Zhao Butry to death. Therefore, in the face of Zong Ze's requests to send troops again and again, Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan always refused. In addition, Zhao Gou is always a little uneasy about the clan left north of the Yangtze River, and he is always afraid that they will take advantage of the troubled times, so in the face of Zhao Butry's urgent blood letter from Xiangzhou, Zhao Gou also looked at it coldly.

Zhao Butry this person is an outlier in the imperial Song clan. Just like today's Xiangzhou, although surrounded by the Jin people and Han'er army, there are still many opportunities to escape from the city. Seeing that foreign aid was not coming, if it was replaced by other officials, he would have fled a long time ago. But Zhao Butry never had the idea of escaping.

In the original history, Zhao did not try to defend Xiangzhou for more than two years, and did not open the door to surrender until June next year. But he surrendered not for the sake of his own glory and wealth, but because the people in the city ran out of ammunition and food, starved to death, and could no longer defend it.

Even so, Zhao Buqian still self-immolated his family in the mansion, resolutely not to reduce the gold. Later generations often sigh, if Zhao Butry to do the position of Gaozong, how can he be afraid of gold like a tiger?

When he heard Ran Qing say that Zhao Butry, the prefect of Xiangzhou, still insisted on defending the city, Yue Fei suddenly showed a look of eagerness. Although there were only five hundred cavalry troops, Yue Fei felt that he could make a surprise attack, so that these Han army besieging the city would suffer a little, and also give the people in the city a little hope to hold on. You must know that when you are trapped in a lonely city, what you are most afraid of is not the siege of the enemy, but the despair of running out of ammunition and food and not being able to hope for reinforcements.

Hearing that Yue Fei was preparing to attack the Han'er army, all the backswaking army's eyes showed fanaticism. Seeing their homes destroyed by the golden dogs, their hearts were already full of anger.

Ji Qian waved the iron shovel in her hand and said happily, "Brother Yue, I haven't met a few thieves all the way, my hands have long been itchy." In this battle, I must be the vanguard. ”

Ran Qing didn't agree to attack the Han'er army with the Wei army, she already knew that Yue Fei had come to Taihang Mountain to pick up her family. In this case, then pick up your own family, respond to the sky as soon as possible, and then lead the army to come to the rescue. After all, there were 8,000 Han'er troops besieging Xiangzhou, and most of them were cavalry troops, and it was not at all something that 500 Beiwei troops could eat.

But when she saw the belligerent eyes of the Beiwei army, Ran Qing suddenly understood that this battle would not work. These outbackers who witnessed the destruction of their homes had to fight last time to vent their anger.

Therefore, Ran Qing no longer dissuaded Yue Fei, but instead talked to Yue Fei about the situation of the Jin army besieging Xiangzhou City. Along the way, Ran Qing knew that with his own military common sense, he was not qualified to be a staff officer of the Betrayal Army. Whether it is Shen Yi's Yue Fei or the reckless Ji Qian, when it comes to tactics, they can be Ran Qing's master. But Ran Qing also has her own advantages, that is, her familiarity with Xiangzhou and the various cottages in Taihang Mountain.
