Chapter 0295 - Sending troops to quell the rebellion

However, it was said that Yue Fei led more than 30,000 men of the Second Army - the rest of the men and horses continued to garrison Ezhou - to the west, and he sent people to investigate first, and learned that Zhao Xi, the secretary of Chengdu Fuzhong, occupied Chengdu and was commanding his men and horses to attack Pengzhou north of Chengdu.

Pengzhou Zhizhou desperately resisted. When Zhao Xiyi heard that the Liangshan army was coming, he hurriedly collected his troops and retreated to Chengdu.

When he arrived at the city of Chengdu, Yue Fei learned that Zhao Xi and his son Zhao Peng were guarding the city with 15,000 troops and horses. Because of the continuous march, Yue Fei's entire army was very tired, and he went to bed very early at night. In the middle of the night, there was a sudden shout. Yue Fei knew that this was the rebels attacking the camp. A soldier came in and reported that Zhao Peng, the son of Zhao Xi, was leading an army and was attacking the camp.

Yue Fei got up from the bed in no hurry, dressed in clothes and armor in an orderly manner, and slowly said to the soldier: "You go and tell Xie Zhen and Xie Bao to control them, and whoever dares to retreat will be beheaded under the gate." ā€

"Yes!"

Because the Liangshan army was not familiar with the terrain, he did not dare to rush out of the village, but he was afraid of some tricks of the other party. That Zhao Peng was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, wearing armor, carrying a spear, riding a strong horse under his crotch, with a steel whip hanging on the saddle, leading the rebels to storm the camp, and several times when he approached the wall of the Liangshan military camp, he was shot back by random arrows.

Zhao Peng killed Tianming, but he failed to take advantage of half a point. At this moment, I heard the noise of the drums and horns in the north, and I went to see a Liangshan military horse blowing like the wind, and the first general was Wu Jue.

Zhao Peng came to kill well, and secondly, he also wanted to show his skills in front of the soldiers of the whole army, and fought Wu Jue with a gun. The Liangshan army in the stockade received reinforcements, and their courage increased greatly, and they rushed out of the stockade to attack. A scuffle, until the sky is dark. More than 3,000 horses under Zhao Peng's command fought all night, and gradually became unable to resist.

This Zhao Peng also had some courage, he single-handedly rushed away from the Liangshan army and walked in the direction of Chengdu. Dozens of Liangshan troops behind him chased closely. Zhao Peng suddenly reined in the horse's head and shouted: "Liangshan thief, do you want to come to find death!" After drinking, he rode into the Liangshan pursuers, picked up the steel whip, and beat the Liangshan pursuers one after another, and each retreated.

After the rebels withdrew, Yue Fei and Wu Yu and Wu Xuan wanted to see each other in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the three of them met each other, first greeted each other, and then Yue Fei asked: "This Chengdu Mansion is a key point in Sichuan, the city is high and the pool is deep, can the two generals have a plan to break the city?" ā€

Wu Jue said: "The reason why the Zhao Xi rebels attacked Pengzhou in the north is to develop northward, so as to make peace with the rebels who rebelled in Qinzhou. The officials of the state capitals and counties here are actually waiting and watching, and once the war drags on for a long time, they are afraid that they will also rebel together, and our army will be in danger. ā€

Wu Lan said: "In addition, it is not convenient for our army to raise grain and grass here, and our army is not allowed to stay under the city of Chengdu for a long time. ā€

Yue Fei listened to the words of the two of them and bowed slightly.

Wu Jue said: "I think that it is better for our army to only besiege three sides, leaving the road to the north for them to go, as long as they go out of the city, they can be annihilated." ā€

Yue Fei asked, "General Wu, how are you so sure that the rebels will flee, and if they don't, what should you do?" ā€

Wu Jue smiled with a confident look: "Yue Shuai, think about it, this Zhao Xi dares to rebel, why?" Because there is a Qinzhou Zhizhou in the north to echo his rebellion, and why does the Qinzhou Zhizhou dare to rebel? Because of the seduction of the Jin people, if our army comes to quell the rebellion with insufficient military horses, Zhao Xi will not withdraw, he will go north to attack the city and conquer the territory, and strive to join Qinzhou; If, on the other hand, he felt that our army was capable of destroying him in one fell swoop, he would have fled, and he must have gone north. ā€

Yue Fei said: "What General Wu said is reasonable, then use troops according to General Wu's strategy." ā€

Dividing line ********

Zhao Xi's rebels were defeated yesterday, and when they felt that their troops were insufficient, they saw that the Liangshan army at the north gate was retreating, so they sent people to the north and went to Qinzhou to ask for help from Zhe Kecun.

At this time, with the assistance of the Jin people, he connected several cities, and was arrogant for a while. When he received Zhao Xi's documents in Wenzhou, he called Fu Yu and Jin Chengying, both of whom were sent by the Jin people to help save them, and shouted: "You two immediately lead the army south, and you must save Chengdu, otherwise you won't come to see me!" ā€

When he colluded with the Jin rebellion, he had to rely on Fu Yu and Jin Chengying because of the lack of soldiers, and now he has nearly 50,000 horses and captured five prefectures and counties, he feels that the Jin people are more and more annoying to him, since Zhao Xi came to ask for help, it was just right, he asked Fu Yu and Jin Chengying to rescue Chengdu and save it, so it was just so that the Jin people and the Liangshan army would have a big battle, and they would not come down, and they would both be defeated.

Fu Yu and Jin Chengying returned to the village and convened the generals under their command to discuss. Jin Chengying said: "General Fu, let's go to the rescue of Chengdu, obviously have the intention of borrowing a knife to kill people, if our army goes, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky." ā€

Fu Yu didn't speak, pondered for a moment, and asked, "General Jin, do you want to be infamous as a traitor for the rest of your life, or do you want to achieve something earth-shattering?" ā€

Kim Sung-young asked, "What does General Fu mean by this?" ā€

Fu Yudao: "Please think about it, General Jin now, Xichuan is actually a power vacuum area, and our army is going south, just to conquer the city and open up the territory." ā€

When Jin Chengying heard this, his two eyes widened, and he asked, "Fu ...... General Fu, you are going to rebel, we only have more than 10,000 troops and horses under our command, whether it is the Jin people, or the Liangshan bandits, we can't afford to provoke them, if we take down the city in Xichuan, the Liangshan bandits will definitely attack with all their might, then ...... At that time, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist it! ā€

Fu Yu said: "General Jin don't have to worry, as long as we have a city, the Jin people will fight, we will raise the banner of anti-Jin, and unite with the Liangshan bandits to resist the Jin, if the Liangshan bandits come to fight, we will unite with the Jin people, play the banner of supporting the Song Dynasty and destroying the thieves, and fight with the Liangshan bandits, the general principle is, pull one, fight one, we will always not suffer." ā€

Jin Chengying said: "That...... Then listen to General Fu's wishes. ā€

At that moment, Fu Yujin and Chengying led their military horses to the south, heading straight to Xichuan. All the way to the states and counties, the wind returned, and even the resisting states and counties were quickly broken by them. Soon, Fu Yu and Jin Chengying captured seven or eight prefectures and counties, but they did not go to the rescue of Chengdu.
