Ying Tianfu, the military tent in the camp of the Protector Army.

Master Zhihun who is in charge of intelligence work is explaining the enemy situation. Master Zhihun who has always been in his hands and has a calm expression is now looking anxious. Because the situation in the Central Plains has deteriorated so quickly.

"The Jurchen Western Route Army completed the Yan Lou Room Department to attack Shaanxi and connected dozens of prefectures and counties. It is now approaching the area of Fengxiang Chang'an. Qu Duan, the main general of Jingyuan Road, led 100,000 western troops to confront the Jurchen army. The outcome of the battle is currently unknown. But with Quduan's combat power, the Jurchen army should not make any progress. This road of military horses does not pose a threat to the two roads of Beijing and Hebei for the time being, and can be ignored for the time being. ”

Speaking of this, Master Zhihun stopped talking and glanced at Yue Fei. Because what is going to be said below is really heartbreaking for the military. But Yue Fei nodded resolutely. Letting the Protector generals know the severity of the current situation as soon as possible will also make the generals more vigilant.

Master Zhihun exhaled, and then continued.

"The Jurchen East Route Army completed the Yan Fuchang Department to attack the Jingxi East Road. When attacking Mizhou, Mizhou prefect Gongyi and commander Liu Hong did not defend the fortified city, went out of the city to fight, and were defeated by the Jurchen vanguard Wanyan Zongbi. Liu Hong was beheaded, and Gong Yi fled to Jinan. The defense of Mizhou made Li Kui open the city and reduce gold. After the Jin people entered the city, they carried out a massacre. Today, Michigan is in ruins. ”

The tent was silent, and no one made a sound. Everyone had already seen the ferocity of the Jurchens, and they had already expected the slaughter of the city. But no one thought that the Jurchens would slaughter the city in Mizhou. As one of the six major cities in the Song Dynasty, Mizhou has an annual income of millions of yuan, and it can be said that it is a hen that can lay golden eggs. I didn't expect the Jurchens to be so eager for quick success and quick profit, and they actually killed chickens to get eggs. Mizhou was slaughtered by the Jin people, and it never recovered.

And Yue Fei's heart was secretly sighing. What he lamented was not the ferocity of the Jurchens, but the person Li Kui. A traitor in history, in the era of the Republic of China, became a famous loyal person. Of course, this is not only the credit of the Water Margin, but also because the two Song Dynasty were wiped out by the barbarian peoples from the north. So in the Yuan Dynasty, the traitor Li Kui became a rough and straight man in the drama and was filial to his son, which was exactly what the upper ruling class was consciously brainwashing the lower class of the people. After eighty or ninety years, Li Kui was finally washed into a hero of loyalty and righteousness. A good man who did not hesitate to assist foreign races in slaughtering hundreds of thousands of compatriots in order to safeguard the great cause of the motherland.

History is written by the victors, and it is indeed a truth that is not easy to come by.

Zhihun didn't know Yue Fei's inner thoughts. His tone grew heavier. "After the Jurchen army slaughtered Mizhou, it was like a bamboo, breaking through Zibo, Gaotang, Qingzhou and other places, and now it has come to the city of Jinan. The general Guan Bi won out of the city and was invincible in the field and retreated back into Jinan Mansion. If Jinan Mansion fell, the Jurchen East Route Army would immediately be able to attack Caozhou along the line of Taizhou, Yanzhou, and Dongping Mansion. ”

As soon as Zhihun said this, it caused a discussion among the generals in the tent. Old Meng An, who was as hot as fire, shook his snow-white beard and scolded loudly, "If the golden dog dares to offend my Caozhou, I will let him come and go." ”

Lao Meng An is now the deputy commander of the Second Infantry Division, and his garrison is in Caozhou. So he reacted the most. The division commander Wang Gui did not say anything.

Zhihun and Meng An have been friends for more than ten years, and of course they understand the heart of their old friend. Zhihun asked directly, "Deputy Division Commander Meng, do you think that with the 15,000 regular soldiers and 30,000 auxiliary soldiers of the Second Infantry Division, can you stop more than 100,000 Jurchen elites?" ”

Meng An's eyes widened, and he said loudly, "If you can't stop it, you have to block it, and if you die, you have to block the golden dog." I don't believe that the hundreds of thousands of troops of Golden Dog can capture Caozhou City! ”

Zhihun shook his head and stopped raising the bar with Meng An. Instead, Yue Fei stood up and said in a deep voice, "But if the Golden Dog doesn't attack the city, bypass Caozhou, and go straight to Yingtianfu, what should Master Meng do?" ”

Meng An was stunned for a moment, only to understand that the task of the Second Infantry Division was not to hold Caozhou, but to protect Ying Tianfu. If the Jin people went around the city, the infantry division could only go out of the city to fight. With 15,000 infantry and 50,000 Jurchen iron cavalry, the result of the battle does not need to be fought to know.

Wang Gui, who had been silent, stood up and said with a little disbelief, "I think Master Zhihun is a bit alarmist. The reason why the Jurchen Eastern Route Army was so strong was only because it did not encounter a strong enemy. Jinan garrison Guan Bisheng has both wisdom and bravery, with 30,000 elite soldiers under his command, with Jinan Jiancheng, it is absolutely impossible for the Jurchen army to fall overnight. Even if the Jurchen army can finally break through Jinan, it must be a heavy loss. Whether or not it can attack Caozhou is still between the two. Even if it is attacked to Caozhou, it has become the end of the strong crossbow, so there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

Yue Fei shouted in a deep voice, "Wang Gui, if you really think so, I Ying Tianfu will definitely fall under the iron hooves of the Eastern Route Army." Is Kaithol a fortified city? Is the Daimyo's Mansion a fortified city? Is Bianliang a fortified city? How did it all break with a drum of the golden dog? ”

Wang Gui said a little unconvinced, "These three cities were all surrendered by the defenders without a fight, and they were not captured by the Jurchen army. The general Guan Bisheng is an iron-clad man, and he will never surrender to the Jin army. The Jin people attacked the city, but there were two methods, one was to persuade to surrender, and the other was to use the room. But can these two tricks hide the eyes of victory? ”

Yue Fei couldn't help but be even more annoyed when he saw Wang Gui insisting on seeing it. "Ridiculous! Guan Bisheng is certainly a famous general, but Jinan Mansion is not Guan Bisheng alone. In case Liu Yu, the prefect of Jinan, opens the city and surrenders, how can Guan Bisheng stop it! ”

Wang Gui's mouth opened and opened, and finally stopped talking. Because Yue Fei was right, if the prefect had the intention to reduce the gold, Dadaoguan would win, not only would he not be able to defend the city, but he might also die in the hands of his own people.

When Yue Fei said that Guan Bisheng was going to win, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. Guan Bisheng is certainly a famous general of the Great Song Dynasty, but Liu Yu, the prefect of Jinan, is a traitor who has left a famous name in history. According to the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty to defend the military with literature, Guan Bisheng must be under the jurisdiction of Liu Yu. Liu Yu wanted to kill Guan Bisheng, it was really easy.

Because Yue Fei knew this history, as soon as he returned to Yingtianfu, he sent his senior brother Zhou Yi, who had just returned to Yingtianfu, to Jinan Mansion. Zhou Yi was accompanied by more than a dozen capable spies. When Zhou Yi arrived at Jinan Mansion, he would think of passing on Liu Yu's plot to reduce gold to Guan Bisheng. I hope that Dadaoguan will win because of this, so I can be vigilant and will not die in the hands of the traitor Liu Yu.

After Master Zhihun saw that Yue Fei drank Wang Gui, he stopped talking, and immediately continued, "But the most worrying thing is not the Eastern Route Army, but the Middle Route Army of Wanyan Zonghan. 100,000 Jurchen iron cavalry from the south of Yanyun, Hebei West Road to appease Zhang Yiqian fled without a fight, the Daimyofu, Cizhou, Dingzhou, Huaizhou all fell into the hands of the enemy. Now the Middle Route Army has joined the speed department to meet Pucha Shijianu and is attacking Huazhou. There are 30,000 people in the Seri department, and they are heading for Kaide Province. Zong Han's Chinese army crossed the Yellow River from Zhulu and was attacking Bishui Pass. ”

When Master Zhihun said this, he turned his gaze to Yue Fei. "Yue Shuai, the Jurchens' soldiers are extremely sharp, we must hold back their offensive."

Yue Fei's sharp gaze turned around the big tent, but he saw that all the generals did not show the slightest fear, but all of them had a look of eagerness, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

The two armies fought each other, and the momentum was superior. If an army is deflated before it has been fought, then there is no need to fight this battle again. Yue Fei crossed the river and fought two battles against the golden soldiers, both of which were great victories. Although the most elite cavalry is used. But it has aroused the momentum of the Protector Army to the highest point. Now, whether it is infantry or cavalry, there is no fear of the Jin army at all. Even many lower-level generals are eager to start a war with the Jin army as soon as possible, so as to kill the generals and capture the flag and make immortal miraculous achievements.

Yue Fei said in a deep voice, "Presumably, the generals have already understood the situation in the Central Plains. Hundreds of thousands of golden dog armies approached the Central Plains with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, trying to swallow my Central Plains in one bite. Although Ying Tianfu is now stable, the Jurchen army is close at hand. The Bianliang Sect stayed behind and sent a letter to ask me to protect the people's army to go to Bianliang as soon as possible. How our Protector Army responds to the enemy, I also ask the generals to share their views. ”

Ji Qian was the first to stand up and said loudly, "Yue Shuai, Ying Tianfu is the foundation of our army, and there must be no loss. I don't think we should send troops to Bianliang. We don't have many soldiers, and if we divide our troops to Bianliang, we won't be able to hold Yingtianfu at all. ”

Because Ji Qian was closest to Yue Fei, she dared to say that she would not let Yue Fei support Bianliang. If I changed someone else, I really didn't dare to say that. Because everyone knows that Yue Fei respects Zong Ze the most.

But Ji Qian's words also spoke the hearts of most of the generals of the Protector Army. Anyway, now that I have fought a second battle with the imperial court, I have long been separated. is to fully support the imperial army, and still can't avoid the suspicion of the imperial court. In this case, why not take this opportunity to tear your face with the court immediately.

As soon as Ji Qian's words were finished, she immediately lowered her head, ready to meet Yue Fei's reprimand. But Yue Fei didn't get angry, he just asked in a calm tone, "Presumably many people have the same idea as Ji Qian." I just want to ask you, if Bianliang is not guaranteed, and hundreds of thousands of troops are pressed beyond the borders of Yingtian, can we hold it? ”

All the generals were speechless. Ying Tianfu is a horse and a flat river, which is most suitable for iron riding. When the time comes, hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry will be killed in Yingtian's territory, even if the Protector Army is all desperate, it will be useless at all.

Li Bashao, who had been listening silently, lost no time in saying a word. Yue Shuai was right. When we protect Bianliang, we are protecting Yingtianfu. If Bianliang is lost, Ying Tianfu will be absolutely finished. ”

Ji Qian said embarrassedly, "Yue Shuai, I Ji Qian is a pig brain." Don't take my words to heart. Now what do you say? We all listen to you. ”

Yue Fei said sharply, "Fight with one punch, lest a hundred punches come." Since the golden dog is menacing, then we will hit the fiercest golden dog with a stick first. ”

Zhihun asked, "Then Yue Shuai means that our whole army is going to Kaide Mansion and defeating the Saili Department first?" Or go to Huazhou, join forces with Liu Yan and Zhang Xie, and defeat Yan Ba first? ”

Yue Fei shook his head and sneered, "These two are just little golden dogs that are not worth mentioning. We're going to fight the big golden dog Zonghan. Zong Han is known as the Jurchen military god, then we will defeat this military god and break the momentum of the Jurchens. ”

As soon as Yue Fei said this, almost all the generals opened their mouths wide. Many people thought that Yue Fei had said the wrong name. Zong Han's Chinese army has 70,000 Jurchen iron cavalry and more than 100,000 servant troops, how can it be said that it will be broken if it is broken?

("Three Dynasties and Northern Alliance": In the leap August of the third year of Jianyan, the number of Gongyi and Jin of Zhijinan Prefecture fought in Mizhou, and the army was defeated, Yi and Liu Hongdao both rushed to Huainan, and the guard general Li Kui reduced the gold in Mizhou. In this book, I slightly advanced the time for Li Kui's gold reduction. ）
