Chapter 306: Conquest of Dongting Lake (2)
For Yue Fei's initial victory in Dongting Lake, Emperor Gaozong was very happy and personally gave Yue Fei the Imperial Palace:
"It's close to playing, Zhiqing has arrived in Tanzhou, when the summer is in full swing, and the soldiers are good. I have been punished for many years by the Kou of Huxiang, so the special commissioner, in order to recruit and arrest him, wants to make the grace and power both beneficial and appease. When I heard that Qing was there, the measures were appropriate, and I was very pleased. However, it is not far to defend against autumn today, and if this Kou is peaceful, he can concentrate on defending the enemy. It is better to calculate more and achieve success, which I hope for. Other twists and turns, Zhang Jun came to the front of the army, but he could discuss it. Twenty-three days. ”
Two terms appear in this imperial book: one is to prevent autumn; The second is to defend the enemy.
Both of these terms point to the same goal - the Golden Soldier.
The Jin soldiers had a habit of fighting: they invaded in autumn and winter, and collected troops to return to the dynasty in spring and summer.
Because of this habit of the Jurchens, the Song Dynasty must also arrange defense plans in the autumn accordingly.
But the question is, now that he is fighting a decisive battle with the water bandits in Dongting Lake, why would he mention Jin Bing at this time?
It turned out that when Yue Fei was in the palace of Lin'an Mansion, he proposed to the emperor the policy of first eliminating internal troubles and then driving away foreign insults.
Now that the emperor suddenly brought up this matter again, firstly, to cheer up Yue Fei and let Yue Fei know that his proposal was in the emperor's heart; Second, the emperor was worried that if Yue Fei was fettered by the bandits in Dongting Lake, and the war would be protracted, what would happen if it was autumn and when the Jin soldiers went south?
Now in the eyes of Emperor Gaozong, Yue Fei is an out-and-out, sturdy and durable umbrella
In a blink of an eye, on May 30, Zhang Jun and Yue Fei were discussing matters, and the holy decree suddenly came. It was to summon Zhang Jun to return to the court. Discuss the plan to prevent autumn problems.
Zhang Jun saw that Yang Mo's rebels were still defending against danger. For a while, there seemed to be no way to take advantage of it, so he said to Yue Fei:
"Jun will be returned, and the envoy will run the lake, has it been decided?"
Yue Fei took out a map from his sleeve, unfolded it in front of Zhang Jun, and said:
"There's a set picture."
These military-style maps, where can Zhang Jun understand. I saw that he observed for a long time in front of the map, shook his head, turned to Yue Fei and said, "
"Ignoring this, the danger is desperate, and there is no gap to throw into. The imperial court summoned Jun to return and discuss the prevention of autumn. Stop the army, plan the upper class, and discuss it in the coming years. ”
This Zhang Jun actually suggested that Yue Fei withdraw his troops and come back next year.
Yue Fei shook his head and smiled lightly. Said:
"Why wait for the coming year, the governor can stay for Fei Shao. Not eight days, you can break the thief. The governor returned to the court, and after the tenth day. ”
Eight days of thieves, what a heroic Yue Fei!
Zhang Jun listened, but suddenly felt a little unhappy, and thought to himself: "Are you Yue Fei too arrogant, we have been here for more than two months, and the people and horses we have recruited and eliminated are less than one-fifth of those in Yang Mi Village; It's only been eight days, how can it be possible to complete the great task of exterminating the thief. ”
So, Zhang Jun said to Yue Fei: "What is the meaning of the king? Wang Sixiang has not been able to succeed for two years, but he wants to break the thief in eight days. ”
In fact, Wang Xie spent two years without success, but failed, and Yue Fei said that it was a bit of a joke to break the thief in eight days.
Within eight days, not to mention shipbuilding, the selection of equipment, even if it is purely a soldier, it is very nervous to walk. After all, this is Dongting Lake, which is 800 miles in a radius and ravines, and the scope is too large.
Yue Fei saw that Zhang Jun didn't understand, so he further explained: "It is difficult for Wang Sixiang to attack the water with the king's master; It is easy to fly and attack the water with the water base. ”
Zhang Jun asked again: "What does it mean to attack the water with the water coar?"
Yue Fei had no choice but to explain in detail one by one:
"The nest of the lake is unpredictable, the boat master is in a water war, I am short and the other is long, and I have no village guide in its nest, and I am short and strong, so it is difficult to succeed. If the enemy's generals use the enemy's soldiers to take away the help of their siblings, and leave the help of their hearts, they will isolate them, and then take advantage of them with the king's division, and they will be destroyed. In addition to the comings and goings, within eight days, the prisoners were captured in the court of the governor. ”
Although Zhang Jun was still skeptical, Zhang Jun couldn't help but believe where Yue Fei's contributions in the past few years were, and as a result, Zhang Jun still wrote a memo to the imperial court:
"The water village is not eating, and the crowd is quite separate, according to Fei: 'Between the ten days, you can see the second.' The ministers wanted to start more according to the hadith, and the thieves were suspicious. In early June, when I saw that the water thieves had not yet fallen, I immediately flew to Tanzhou and went to the line. ”
Zhang Jun decided to stay and witness the miracle of Yue Fei's eight-day extermination of thieves
This day was June 2, and it was also the first day that Yue Fei promised Zhang Jun eight days to destroy the thief.
Yue Fei called his chief of staff, Huang Zong, to him and asked:
"To the front of Tu, how do you see the situation? Thought to advance and retreat. ”
Huang Zong replied: "He is in danger, and he should go quickly to settle it." ””
Yue Fei and Huang Zong were negotiating with Yang Qin, the first general under Yang Qi.
Yang Qin and Huang Zuo, who had surrendered to Yue Fei, were good brothers, and Yue Fei had asked Huang Zuo to persuade Yang Qin to surrender at Yang Qin's water village in Fanzhou Village, but Yang Qin had been unmoved.
And this time, Yue Fei had to send his most powerful chief of staff, Huang Zong, to complete this difficult task
In this way, Huang Zongpiao went straight to Yang Qinshui Village, and only brought two "bad pawns" with him.
After Yang Qin saw Huang Zong, he still excused himself, saying that he could not surrender immediately.
Huang Zongha smiled and said, "Leader Yang, I'm not here to persuade you to surrender, but to save you." ”
Yang Qin was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Why did Mr. say this?" ”
Huang Zong put away his smile and said with a straight face: "Leader Yang took me to Guishui Village to inspect it, and I will tell you the stakes of it." ”
Yang Qin saw that the situation was serious, and Huang Zong only brought two "bad pawns", and he couldn't afford to make any waves, so he patrolled his own water village with Huang Zong.
Huang Zong entered the water village, and his mood became more and more relaxed.
Not long after entering the walled gate, Huang Zong saw thatched huts and bamboo huts, lined up one after another, which were particularly easy to attack, so he said to Yang Qin: "This is where Yuehou will attack by fire." ”
After another cup of tea, Huang Zong saw a gap in the water village, although it was blocked. But it's also weak. So Huang Zong said to Yang Qin again. This is where the Yue family stepped on the strong attack of the white army.
If so, Huang Zong pointed out the weaknesses of Yang Qin's water village one by one, and scared Yang Qin's face. Then, Huang Zong said to Yang Qin with a parting word:
"Yue Fei is waiting in Dingzhou City, standing up, preparing a leaky pot to wait, if it is outdated, it will not fall. Dong Xian, the commander of the White Army, had already deployed strong crossbow rockets to burn the whole village."
Huang Zong added another sentence after the most ugly:
"The public has not returned tonight, and once a certain solid person dies, the public army will have no such thing."
Huang Zong's repeated powerful analysis, especially the last sentence, broke the kettle and sank the boat, leaving Yang Qin with no choice.
As a result, Yang Qin led more than 10,000 people from the village to surrender, including more than 3,000 soldiers; In addition, there are more than 400 large and small boats. There were more than 500 cattle and more than 40 horses.
After Yue Fei heard the news. He personally went to the east of Dingzhou City to inspect the surrendered masses and fleets, and then went to the camp built on the foundation of Guangxiao Temple to repay the grace, and accepted Yang Qin's "surrender".
Yue Fei also reported to Zhang Jun at the same time, according to Huang Zuo's precedent, he awarded Yang Qin the rank of martial officer of Dr. Wuyi, and immediately paid Yang Qin after filling in the empty official notice.
In addition, Yue Fei also transferred the golden belt and battle robe given by Emperor Gaozong to Yang Qin, and sent his deputy Wang Gui to set up a banquet to entertain him.
A series of welcome activities and courtesies, grand and generous, made Yang Qin only hate that it was too late to surrender, and decided to do his best for Yue Fei.
So, Yang Qin used his connections to persuade Yue Fei to surrender Quan Cong, Liu Xu and other departments.
The thieves in Dongting Lake suddenly lost half of Thailand.
Yue Fei's original plan of "using the enemy's troops to take the help of his siblings and leaving the aid of his heart to isolate the enemy" was already half successful.
Despite this, the bandit leader Yang Mo still tried to resist stubbornly by virtue of his geographical advantage.
At this time, just three days had passed since Yue Fei promised Zhang Jun, and Yue Fei had already decided to officially use the main army to launch an attack on Yang Mi's water village
Yue Fei was discussing the attack plan with everyone in the Chinese military tent, and Yang Qin offered Yue Fei a plan at this time.
Yang Qin's statement is that Yang Mi's ferocity depends on the big cars and boats in the water village; However, there is a weakness of large vehicles and boats, which is not impassable through the lake water that is not one foot deep.
The way to deal with this is to open the sluice gates and release the water, and withdraw thousands of bundles of grass on the surface of the lake to stop the movement of vehicles and ships; It was difficult for the vehicles and ships to move, so they naturally became fixed targets for officers and men to shoot and kill.
Yue Fei adopted Yang Qin's advice in its entirety, ordered a huge raft to be used to block all ports on the lake near Dingzhou, chose a shallow place, and sent officials and military boats to challenge him, and lured the enemy into battle with foul language.
As for the challenge of the officers and soldiers' boats, there is no reason why the thieves in the water village should not come out to meet the enemy.
In fact, so far, the officers and men have never been able to take advantage of any advantage in water warfare.
Although Yue Fei's reputation is outside, Yang Qi firmly believes that as long as Yue Fei dares to challenge in the water, he will still be defeated by his invincible car and boat
Yang Mi's car and ship came out, compared with the small boats and bamboo rafts of the officers and soldiers, Yang Mi's car and ship are the Big Mac, Taishan, and Hulk.
The two armies soon became entangled, and from a distance, the officers and men were miserable again.
Suddenly, the situation changed, and Yang Mo's car and boat pedals were entangled in weeds, and he couldn't move forward or backward.
In this way, the water war becomes a land war.
Yue Fei's army was able to defeat the main force of the Jurchens head-on in the field, and the battle was quickly over.
Yang Mi saw that the general trend had gone, and he really couldn't shed tears, when the hero was at the end!
Helpless, Yang Mi had no choice but to push Zhong Ziyi into the water first, and then commit suicide by jumping into the water.
After Yang Mi dived, Niu Gao jumped down, causing everyone to laugh.
The reason why everyone laughs is very simple, Niu Gao grew up on the edge of the Yellow River, and Yang Mi grew up in Dongting Lake, and of course the water is not much worse; Now it depends on the dragon growing up in the Yellow River, or the water snake in Dongting Lake is fierce?
Facts have once again proved that although Niu Gao is rude, he never fights uncertain battles.
In less than a cup of tea, Niu Gao had already escorted the dying Yang Qi to Yue Fei...... (To be continued......)
