Faced with the embarrassment of Emperor Gaozong being frightened, Yue Fei did not delay in the slightest, gave up this rare opportunity, and immediately led his troops to the Huaixi battlefield.

On the 29th day of the first month of the 11th year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei received the first edict from Emperor Gaozong to aid Huaixi, and began to cross the river on February 11, approaching the Huaixi battlefield.

Such a speed, in the era of cold weapons, is already a very fast response.

It's just that when the Yue family's army reached the edge of the battlefield, things suddenly changed. Zhang Jun, the commander of the Huaixi battlefield, officially issued an official letter to Yue Fei, asking Yue's army to stay away from him and keep his distance.

In the end, what changes have happened in the Huaixi battlefield that made the fleeing commander Zhang Jun so tough

It is also a shame that Liu Qi chose such a good place in Kanto to garrison.

Although the Jin soldiers occupied Luzhou, they only sent troops to the Wuwei Army and Hezhou to loot property, and did not dare to raise troops to cross the river, fearing that Liu Qi would kill him from behind, so Jiangnan was calm for the time being.

After dozens of days of preparation, the troops under Zhang Jun were ready to go, but they were not ordered to set off. Ye Mengde, the ambassador of Jiangdong, broke into Zhang Jun's tent and begged him to send troops quickly. Zhang Jun still hesitated and said, "Wait, let's see the reconnaissance situation of the outpost." ”

On the 4th of February, under the repeated urging of Emperor Gaozong, Zhang Jun was finally about to set off to cross the river.

But just before Commander Zhang crossed the river, he sent a letter from his concubine to him to Emperor Gaozong.

What kind of letter is this, to be reported to the emperor?

It turned out that Zhang Jun had a beloved concubine named Zhang Jia. Originally a famous prostitute in Hangzhou. Knowledgeable and courteous. Manage the clerical accounts for Zhang Jun at home.

Zhang Jia heard that the battle situation on the front line was urgent, and he couldn't help but write a letter urging Zhang Jun to send troops as soon as possible; Zhang Jun refused to leave on the grounds that he couldn't leave his home at ease. Zhang Jia replied with another letter, citing the allusions of Huo in the Western Han Dynasty and Zhao Yun of the Three Kingdoms who went on an expedition without asking about family affairs to encourage her husband to serve the country wholeheartedly.

Encouraged by his concubine, Zhang Jun turned his heart across and ordered the armies to set off separately.

The army was opened, and Zhang Jun specially sent someone to send the concubine's letter to the palace to show that he had a good wife. Deeply aware of the righteousness, he is brave and loyal, and he is dedicated to the country.

After Emperor Gaozong read this letter, he praised it greatly, issued an edict to praise Zhang Jungong and forget his selfishness, and also named Zhang Jia as the wife of Yongguo, and gave him tens of millions of money.

This Zhang Jun is really good at communicating with the emperor.

Not a single soldier was fired, not a single arrow was fired, and he was able to get the emperor's reward, which makes people have to admire!

Under the call of a thousand times. The Huaixi Field Army finally crossed the Yangtze River.

Three days later, on the seventh day of the second month. Yang Yizhong also crossed the Yangtze River with his 30,000 Imperial Forest Army, joined forces with Zhang Jun, and prepared to start a war with Wanyan Wushu.

But just when Zhang Jun and Yang Yizhong were about to show their strength, they suddenly found that Jin Bing was gone.

Zhang Jun was shocked, and hurriedly sent multiple scouts out to collect intelligence, and it took a few more days to find out that the Jin soldiers had retreated without a fight.

The spies reported that the Jurchens did not know what they were doing, but after occupying Luzhou, Hezhou and other places, they began to withdraw their troops slowly. In more than ten days, he gave up Hanshan County, Chao County, Quanjiao County, Zhaoguan and other prefectures and counties that had been occupied step by step.

Zhang Jun can't figure out his head, but he is greedy by nature, why don't he take advantage of it?

As a result, Wanyan Wushu and Zhang Jun tacitly retreated and advanced, walking hand in hand on the Huaixi Plain, as if they had been tango dance partners who had cooperated for many years.

This state of affairs between the Song and Jin armies continued until the town of Zhegao, north of Chao County.

This place is a flat river, the terrain is gentle and open, and it is most beneficial to the continuous sprinting of the cavalry of the horse team, and the Jurchens will not go to understand it after retreating here

No one could understand the distress of Coach Jin Bing Wanyan Wushu at this time.

Half a year ago, I was really beaten too badly by Yue Fei. Jin Bing said that there were 130,000 soldiers, but in fact there were only 90,000 soldiers and horses.

The small number of people is not terrible, since the Jin Guoguo has taken the route of elite soldiers and strong generals, there are thousands of people who dare to fight with 100,000 Khitan Liao troops.

But now, among the 90,000 people, there are only 10,000 or 20,000 veterans, and the rest are just recruited recruits. Not to mention the low combat effectiveness of these newcomers, the small courage is simply infuriating to hemoptysis.

But with such a group of recruits, the officers of the Jin State can't scold at will, otherwise if they can't accept the life of the army and desert away, the last thing to suffer is that he completes his vultures.

Because of this, Wanyan Wushu did not dare to have direct contact with the Song army at all, and came to Zhegao Town, which was the most conducive battlefield for the Jin soldiers to play.

The Jin soldiers crossed the Shiliang River in Zhegao Town, dismantled the Weizi Bridge on the river, and then camped on the other side of the river to rest, preparing for a decisive battle a few days later

After several days of pursuit, the distance between the Huaixi Legion and the Jin soldiers was only a river away. However, there were not much mood swings among the legions.

The Song-Jin War in recent years is no longer the era when the Jurchens were afraid of tigers in the past, and after countless victories, even Zhang Jun, Wang De, and Yang Yizhong, who had never defeated the Jin army head-on, were full of confidence.

What's more, Liu Qi, the lone hero in the Battle of Shunchang, also rushed over from the starry night in Kanto with 20,000 eight-character troops and joined the camp of the Huaixi Army.

The Huaixi Army was in great strength, and Wang De, Yang Yizhong, and Liu Qi suggested taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to send troops overnight. However, this suggestion was rejected by Tian Shizhong, the temporary commander-in-chief of the Huaixi Army.

Who is Tian Shizhong, who can be ranked before Wang De, Yang Yizhong, and Liu Qi as the commander-in-chief in front of the formation?

Tian Shizhong was originally just an ordinary clerk in Zhang Junjun's army, responsible for Zhang Jun's secretarial work. But he was very good at flattery, served Zhang Jun comfortably, and became half of Zhang Jun's son - Zhang Jun's son died early, and Zhang Jun married his daughter-in-law to Tian Shizhong.

Since then, Tian Shizhong has been saying "Dad" one by one, shouting loudly and crisply. With such a relationship, his official position naturally rose step by step.

How can such a villain be able to subdue the generals in the army.

Wang De glared at Tian Shizhong angrily and said: "Fighters are rare. How can you sit back! ”。 After saying that, he went straight to the horse. Greet the headquarters to cross the river in the starry night. Yang Yizhong and Liu Qi also followed.

The Shiliang River is connected to Chaohu Lake. The riverbed is only two feet wide. The armies acted together, and soon a dozen improvised pontoon bridges were erected, and the river was crossed without even noticing.

When they arrived on the other side, because the night was too dark and the enemy situation was unknown, Liu Qi and the others did not rashly move, but ordered the sergeants to rest on the spot and "lie down with guns"

In the early morning of February 17, the 11th year of Shaoxing. The Song army launched the first round of attacks on the Jin soldiers. The one who took the lead in the charge was actually Yang Yizhong, the boss of the forbidden army in Lin'an Mansion.

Why did Yang Yizhong become a pioneer?

Because this battle was not approved by Tian Shizhong. Yang Yizhong is not subordinate to Zhang Jun, and he is a popular person next to Emperor Gaozong, and Zhang Jun can't embarrass him if something goes wrong.

As long as Yang Yizhong goes first, Wang De and Liu Qi's troops will become logical.

Yang Yizhong led the elite of his headquarters to rush to the large array of the Chinese army of the Jin army, and pushed the front straight into the majestic Zhengda, which really deserved to be the elite and powerful imperial army of the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

However, when the two armies intersected, Yang Yizhong immediately felt a huge pressure, if it weren't for the sudden frenzy of his commander, Fu Kui, who used the price of one left eye to arouse the morale of the Imperial Forest Army. He Yang Yizhong may have to lose for a while first.

At this time, Huaibei Xuanfu made Wang De, the commander of the capital, stand up. The direction of his attack was the right flank of the Jin soldiers.

What made Wang De strange was that when his cavalry brigade almost rushed into the camp of the Jin soldiers, the knights of the Jin Kingdom were still standing still, and they did not mean to hedge.

Under Wang De's ecstasy, he called on his brothers to work together and entered the Jin Barracks.

The most important thing in cavalry combat is to run the horses.

However, the recruits who finished Yan Wushu, their attention was attracted by the wonderful battle in the middle lane, and they were rushed over by Wang De unexpectedly, so they had to flee in all directions.

Wang De easily scattered the right flank of the Jin soldiers, turned his horse's head, and took advantage of the momentum from the right to rush towards the middle of the Jin soldiers; Yang Yizhong, who had just suffered a small loss, had also reorganized his formation and rushed towards the center of the Jin soldiers again.

As a result of the flanking attacks on both sides, the formation of the Chinese army of the Jin soldiers suddenly dispersed and scattered in all directions.

In fact, Wanyan Wushu is not without a chance to win.

As long as in the first round of attack, the middle route army of the Jin soldiers can defeat the invading Song cavalry in one fell swoop, and the scale of victory will be tilted towards the Jin soldiers.

In fact, this is how the Completion of the Facial Vulture is also arranged. He has concentrated his strongest forces in the middle lane, including Han Chang, the general of Zhenguo, Wanyan Tuhe, the king of the Dragon and Tiger, and the fifth prince Arubu and others.

It's a pity that the opponent of the Middle Route Army is Yang Yizhong and his Imperial Forest Army.

Putting aside the perverts of the Yue family's army, in the more than 100-year history of the Song Dynasty, the most powerful troops must be the imperial forest army beside the emperor.

In terms of personnel, equipment, training, and treatment, it is the first in the army.

Therefore, when the most elite main force of Wanyan Wushu and the central part of Yang Yi were tied, and the recruits on both wings were easily defeated by the Song army, failure was the inevitable end of his Yanwu art.

It's not a no-do, it's really not a no-no.

If Wanyan Wushu insisted on blaming others, he could only blame Yue Fei.

If it weren't for Yue Fei who smashed his kidnapping horse in the Battle of Yuncheng, if it wasn't for the Yue Family's army that annihilated his Tiefutu in the Battle of Yingchang, and if Yue Fei hadn't launched the Fourth Northern Expedition, how would he have been laughed at by the Huaixi Army for his complete Yanwu Technique.

This is the "Zhegao Victory", which ranked eighth among the thirteen victories of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In this battle, the happiest was of course Zhang Jun, the commander of the Huaixi Theater. By the time Zhang Junshi Shiran came to Zhegao Town, Jin Bing had already been defeated and had been away for four days.

As for the rest of the declared credits, in terms of meritorious deeds and rewards, these are his Zhang Jun's strengths.

The most depressed of this battle was Liu Qi, because he had almost no cavalry under his command, and most of them were hoplites, moving slowly.

Although the number of participants in this battle was large, the duration was very short, and the Bazi Army barely made any effort, and the Jin soldiers had already retreated.

This situation gave Zhang Jun, who has never liked Liu Qi, a truth - "The battle is not effective." ”。 (To be continued......)
