But Wang Yan was very angry! Yue Fei was his former subordinate, and he was a very disobedient and disobedient rebel general. Over the years, Yue Fei's voice has been great, and every time he has achieved great success, it seems to be a ridicule of him! At this time, Song Ting's decision-making made him even more unbearable! After all, Wang Yan was extraordinary, he suddenly cheered up in the depression of illness, and he was actually well!

On the 14th, Wang Yan was ordered to go to Lin'an, passing through Yue Fei's station Ezhou on the way, and Yue Fei asked him to talk by the river. On the bank of the mighty river, the two held hands and talked, the history books did not record what they said, but a gust of river wind blew, and Wang Yan immediately boarded the boat and untied the cable. The ship rode the wind and drummed it, and it traveled thousands of miles, and soon it was far away...

Yue Fei kept watching, sighing constantly. Wang Yanfeng is tough, the older he gets, he is worthy of a generation of heroes! However, back to reality, Yue Fei found that there was a little trouble in defense.

The eight-character army followed Wang Yan to Lin'an and became Zhang Jun's descendant of the Governor's Mansion. Not only did the strength of the Yue family army not increase because of this, but it had to disperse its forces by taking over the Jingnan defense area of the original Bazi Army! The Yuejia army was reduced in battle.

At this time, the strength of the Yuejia army reached 100,000, and the number of generals rose from the original 10 generals to 30 generals, with an average strength of more than 3,000 generals per general. This will continue to expand in the future until it reaches an all-time high of 84. The whole army is divided into 12 commanding armies: the Beiwei Army, the Front Army, the Right Army, the Middle Army, the Left Army, the Rear Army, the Youyi Army, the White Army, the Election Army, the Shengjie Army, the Enemy Breaking Army, the Water Army... Among them, the Beiwei army is the absolute main force, Wei refers to the wine bottle, and the Beiwei army means the pro-soldier who carries the wine bottle for the main general. Youyi means touring, and Tabai means scout.

The most powerful generals in the Yue family's army were Zhang Xian, Xu Qing, Wang Gui, and Niu Gao.

At the beginning of August, Yue Fei's second Northern Expedition began!

Niu Gao, as the striker, took the lead in crossing the river and the Northern Expedition! Not only is his combat power amazing, but he is also too familiar with this area! The first target was the town of Rujun, near Lushan County, Ruzhou, which was his hometown. The defender of the pseudo-Qi here is Xue Heng, who is known for his bravery, and Niu Gao claimed that he would be captured alive before the battle!

Xue Heng was really captured alive. Niu Gao successfully penetrated the eastern road and successively conquered most of Yingchang Mansion, allowing the puppet Qi army to gather in this direction. Subsequently. Yue Fei's main force crossed the river, and the direction of attack was Yuzhou in the west... There is no need for friendly troops or two-way flanking attacks, the Yue family army itself is enough to do this!

Wang Gui, Dong Xian, Hao Xi and other well-known generals attacked Lushi County in Yuzhou, the Yongxing Army, which was accurately calculated, because there was the most urgently needed thing for the Northern Expedition of the Yuejia Army - grain and grass!

A whole 150,000 stones of grain and grass are hoarded here. Yue Fei knew very well where his shortcomings were, the massive amount of grain and grass needed by the huge army could not be self-sufficient, and could only be transported from the rear. But the worst thing is that his station and his main attack direction are in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and the grain-producing areas such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang are in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Grain and grass are in hand. The offensive suddenly rolled out, Wang Gui and others quickly captured Yulue, Zhuyang, Luanchuan and other counties, and the front continued to the west, highlighting Yuzhou into the territory of Shangzhou!

Strictly divided, the two prefectures of Yu and Shang belong to Shaanxi and are Wu Jue's territory. Shao Long, the general of Wu Jue's department, had already written to ask for the recovery of these two states, and the Song court also approved him in advance, as long as he was defeated, he would be the supervisor of these two states...

Yue Fei stepped across the line? But he didn't stop. Further offensive was launched, sweeping across the entire Shangzhou. After that, he wrote a letter to Wu Jue, saying that please send Shao Long to take office...

Yue Fei first sent Niu Gao to the east to attract the attention of the pseudo-Qi, and then to the northwest to grab military rations. After sweeping the whole territory and attracting the puppet Qi troops again, he suddenly turned to the real goal of this Northern Expedition - Henan! Yue Fei suddenly turned around and rushed towards Shunzhou, opening the prelude to the decisive battle! Shunzhou. It is only more than 100 miles away from Luoyang, the original capital of the Northern Song Dynasty...

This is what distinguishes Yue Fei from all his contemporaries, he is unpredictable on the battlefield, and when other generals such as Han Shizhong are always involved in a city and a pool. He crisscrossed the vast theater of operations and did whatever he wanted. Every attack must be overcome, every move must have an effect, this ability really makes the enemy frightened...

When the good news came, Zhang Jun was overjoyed, this is what he was waiting for! If he didn't regain the results, he wouldn't be able to implement the next idea...

On the 9th, Zhang Jun entered the court and asked the emperor to go north to Jiankang, and lead the generals from all walks of life to cross the river collectively and recover the lost territory! Zhao Gou agreed. On the 11th, Liang Rujia, the prefect of Lin'an, was appointed as the transit envoy of the patrol and accompanying capital. On the 12th, Qin Hui and Meng Yu were appointed as the principal and deputy guards.

Let's look at the Northern Expedition of the Yuejia Army: The vanguard this time is Yang Zaixing, the fourth deputy general in the army and the strongest general at the turn of the two Song Dynasty! His target was Changshui County, more than 100 kilometers west of Luoyang, the western capital of the Great Song Dynasty. The opponent is a pseudo-Qi capital system, a command of more than 1,000 people.

Yang Zaixing's impact made the enemy fearful, and the battle ended quickly, and the commander of the capital was beheaded, and more than 500 pseudo-Qi troops were annihilated together. The commander was lucky, and more than 100 of his men were captured alive...

Yang Zaixing did not pause, and once again advanced to Luoyang, Xijing, by a river called Zhang Hongjian. He met the local governor of the puppet Qi: to appease Zhang Xuanzan and confront him across the river...

A river... Yang Zaixing was depressed when he mentioned jumping into the river, didn't he skip when he was a brother? Yang Zaixing led his army to cross the river in the rain of arrows, rushed to the opposite bank, and scattered Zhang Xuanzan's more than 2,000 men and horses. And chased all the way, until about the second watch in the evening, Yang Zaixing stopped chasing, the reason was that he found a big baby! Zhang Xuanzan actually carried more than 10,000 war horses with him! Yang Zaixingle is crazy, with these, who is going to chase any traitors? Grab it, grab it all! The robbery was so fierce that even the more than 10,000 stone of grain piled up with the war horses could not be taken away, and all of them were distributed to the local poor people.

On September 1, Zhao Gou set off for the north. Before leaving Hangzhou, he went to Tianzhu Temple to make incense. When I went out of the temple gate, it happened that Yue Fei's good news arrived... Zhao Gou read the letter carefully in a jubilation, didn't say anything, and set off as planned. Arrived at Linping Town on the 2nd. Arrived in Chongde County on the 3rd. summoned the county commander Zhao Zhuozhi and asked about the people's suffering, but Zhuozhi said no. If you ask how much the account is, you can't be right. Zhao Gou was furious, and he was cut off on the spot and asked for the crime, "I still hate the wind and rain, I can't ride a horse, and I go to the field to ask my father."

On the 4th, Zhao Gou arrived at Saolin. He called Zhang Jun and asked, "Is there any water in Yue Fei's good news?" It's not that I don't believe it, and I don't despise the rewards of the Lord, but I want to know the truth."

Zhang Jun told Zhao Gou: Yue Fei has once again recovered Tangzhou. And the Yue family army is not only invincible on the battlefield, but also does better on the other hand! Henan is Yue Fei's hometown, especially in the Xiangzhou area, and he has long done his espionage work meticulously. In the general direction, the rebels in the Taihang Mountain area have long formed an alliance with it. In the small details, the passes in the battle area, the coachmen, the helmsman and others on the ferry. The miscellaneous servants in the pù of the accommodation restaurant all have the internal response of the Yue family's army!

At this time, it only depends on the determination of the official family? On the battlefield, Yue Fei has taken control of a qiē!

Back on the battlefield, Yue Fei's forward troops quickly approached Luoyang, and with Yang Zaixing's impact power, it only took a day or two to reach the Xijing City, while the enemy was all missing. Liu Yu's father, son, uncle and nephew are gone, Li Cheng is gone, and Wanyan Zongbi has not shown up, you must know that a few months ago, when Han Shizhong crossed the river. The gang swarmed up as if it were a piece of fat that everyone wanted to bite. But at this time, Yue Fei drove straight in, and it has been more than a month, where have all the people gone? You won't go to make soy sauce together in a group, will you?

The shape is unprecedented! But the fire of the emperor's soul is always a little fluctuating. Even Prime Minister Zhao Ding felt that things were unreliable, he could go north, but Jiankang was too far ahead, it was better to follow the old rules and go to Pingjiang Mansion in Suzhou... Zhao Gou adopted.

After that, his support for Yue Fei was a beautifully worded letter of commendation... For a time, many similar letters flew across the Yangtze River. Sent to Yue Fei, all kinds of exclamations, praises and admiration surrounded Yue Fei.

Yue Fei was very excited, but what he needed most - grain and grass never arrived! He was indeed invincible, and he went deep alone. Win every battle, no need for friendly support. But food and grass are necessary, no matter how elite a soldier eats one less meal, he can't be called an elite soldier, and at this time, the defenders he left behind in Xiangyang have starved to death. Because I want to save food rations to support the front line...

On the 5th, Zhao Gou arrived at Jiaxing Mansion in Xiuzhou. 6th Pingwang Town. 7th Wujiang County. On the 8th, we arrived at our destination in Binh Giang. On the 10th, Han Shizhong came to the DPRK from Chuzhou.

23rd. Zhao Gou issued an edict: Jiangdong transit envoy Xiang Ziyan was responsible for supplying Liu Guangshi's army with money and grain, deputy envoy Yu Qian was responsible for supplying Zhang Jun's army with money and grain, and Huo Li, a member of the household department, went to Ezhou to supply Yue Fei's army with money and grain. On the 25th, Zhang Jun was ordered to go to Zhenjiang Mansion to inspect the teacher again.

But at this time, the Yue family's army had begun to retreat. When retreating, Yue Fei seemed to have a huge grudge against food, and he deliberately sent people to raid Caizhou, an important town of Pseudo-Qi, in order not to kill the soldiers there, he ordered to burn all the grain in Caizhou!

This Northern Expedition completely changed the fate of a person - Liu Yu! His Majesty, the Emperor of Great Qi, suddenly jumped up after Yue Fei retreated, as if he was stimulated by something, and frantically grabbed strong men in the territory, and caught 300,000 in a short time, known as 700,000, all of which were pushed to the battlefield!

Yue Fei had only been gone for a few days, and he actually took the initiative to attack immediately... It looks unreasonable, but it's absolutely necessary. He must always maintain his attack on the Southern Song Dynasty, otherwise he will lose the value of his existence! Jin Guo raised his dog, he had to bite someone!

It's just that before sending troops, Liu Yu already had a hunch: this time, even if he works hard and achieves brilliant results, this so-called throne of the Great Qi Kingdom will not be able to sit still!

The Jin Kingdom is changing: with Wanyan Zonghan as one party, Wanyan Chang, Wanyan Zongpan as the second party, and Wanyan Zongbi as the three parties, the Jurchen tradition is being staged fiercely! The speed caught Liu Yu off guard, and he did many things wrong. As mentioned earlier: He was originally a person who finished Yan Chang, but it was Wanyan Zonghan who pushed him to the throne. In line with the traitor principle that if you have milk, you are a mother, he threw Wan Yan Chang aside and was loyal to Wan Yan Zonghan, which has been very effective in the past few years.

His Royal Highness has the power of the world, and he is powerful in the Jurchens, Western Xia, and Southern Song Dynasty, no one in the world dares to say a word to him, and Liu lackeys feel that he is honored, and he can also be upgraded, so he is not so respectful to the Jurchen nobles. But at this time, the little emperor Wanyan "exchanged power for military power" Wanyan Zonghan lost his power all of a sudden, he had no army, no territory, not to mention covering the former lackeys, and even he himself was in danger!

Liu Yu asked Jin Guo for help this time, and Wanyan Zongpan actually said, "The first emperor is so the one who established Yu, if he wants to open up the territory and protect the territory, I have to rest the people." Today, Yu can not be taken, retreat can not defend, the soldiers are in trouble, and there is no rest. From there, I will suffer the benefits, and if I lose, I will suffer the disadvantages. In addition, the year before last, the Yu beggar soldiers were not conducive to Jiangshang. In this case, Liu Yu can only rely on himself, and Jin Guowan Yan Zongbi is just a spectator from the garrison of the Junzhou Liyang Army on Hebei West Road to see how much success Liu Yu can "bite"...

Liu Yu ordered: More than half of the whole army changed their clothes! All dressed as Jurchens! In late September, the puppet Qi divided troops into three routes to invade the south: the middle route was led by the prince Liu Lin, and Shouzhou attacked Luzhou; The eastern route was led by Liu Yu's nephew Liu Yi, and attacked Dingyuan County, Haozhou, from Zijing Town, which flows into the Huai River; The western route was led by Kong Yanzhou and attacked Lu'an County of Shouju from Gwangju...

This made the Southern Song Dynasty on the other side of the Yangtze River panic. The information obtained by Zhao Goujunchen was: Liu Yu sent 700,000 elite soldiers to take revenge, and more than half of them were Jurchen cavalry!

This news stunned Zhao Gou, Zhao Ding and others across the Yangtze River, and there was no such a big scene when the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed. Zhao Ding immediately mentioned that everyone should go back to Lin'an! At the same time, he quickly ordered Han Shizhong to cross the Huai River to contain the enemy army, while Yue Fei went down the Yangtze River to defend them!

At this time, Zhang Jun was in Xuyijun, Yang Yizhong was in Sizhou, Han Shizhong was in Chuzhou, and Yue Fei was in Ezhou. The main direction of attack of Liu Lin's middle route army is running towards him!

The "golden soldiers" came overwhelmingly, and the two generals Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi walked away like meteors. While they retreated, they asked Zhao Gou for help. The speed caught Zhang Jun, the commander-in-chief of Zhenjiang Mansion, who was on the front line, off guard! In other words: none of these two people asked for instructions, let alone approved, they were purely fleeing from the battlefield! This despicable act has won the approval of a crowd! Why not run away? Is it right to ask for instructions first and then report, use red tape to tie your hands and feet, and be chased and eliminated by the Jin army? That's self-destructive strength, it's pointless... This argument is very marketable, and the upper echelons agree with it.

At the critical moment, Emperor Zhao Gou still retains a sense of reason! He asked Zhang Jun to report the situation immediately and determine how to deal with it militarily!

No matter how big the problem is, Zhang Jun has at least one advantage: this person has never been intimidated by anyone! He had been on the front line and soon learned the truth. There are no Jurchen cavalry, they are all Xibei goods!

He immediately replied to Zhao Gou, objecting to letting Yue Fei come to put out the fire. At the same time, the whole army is required to counterattack, this is a great opportunity to completely annihilate the puppet Qi army! In addition to still having to quickly transfer the Yue family army to protect himself, Zhao Gou agreed to all of Zhang Jun's other requests. (To be continued......)
