The puppet Qi received the news of Liu Fu's defeat and did not give up, and immediately sent many generals such as Guo De, Wei Rubi, and Shi Fu to lead 50,000 cavalry to attack Dengzhou.

Liu Yu would not believe that with an army of this size, Yue Fei could still ignore his retreat and stay in the Central Plains to threaten himself.

Of course, Yue Fei couldn't ignore his retreat, but he didn't need to collect his troops to rescue, because there was a force that had already been reserved as a backup to deal with unexpected events.

This rear hand is the former military commander who ranks first in the 22nd Army of the Yue family - Zhang Xian.

As Yue Fei's most trusted and relied on general, Zhang Xian was unusually in this Northern Expedition and did not appear in the initial battle, the reason was to ensure the stability of Yue's army's rear road.

And this action on the pseudo-Qi side was corrected by Zhang Xianhou.

Knowing that the enemy army was menacing, Zhang Xian opened a pocket in Neixiang County (present-day Xixia County, Henan) and waited for Guo De and them to come and get in.

Among all the generals of Yue's army, Zhang Xian is not known for his martial arts, although his marksmanship is also very sharp, the reason why Zhang Xian received Yue Fei's reuse is that he is both civil and military, and he has perseverance and patience.

This time, Zhang Xian's ambush of the puppet Qi army fully demonstrated his long patience.

More than 50,000 cavalry is a long team, but Zhang Xian has the ability to use all kinds of terrain and obstacles to surround the enemy in a circle before waving flags and drums to charge.

The puppet Qi army was attacked and chaotic and scattered in all directions.

As a result, Guo De and Shi Fu were captured alive. And Wei Rubi was under the protection of the death force of his own soldiers. Flee back to Luoyang City.

This time. Liu Yu was really scared.

The Yuejia army fought successively, and the troops of the pseudo-Qi were defeated, and no generals were even willing to go to the Yuejia army, including Li Cheng, the first general of the pseudo-Qi.

In desperation, Liu Yu had no choice but to pin his hopes on the Jurchens

In fact, in July of the sixth year of Shaoxing, that is, when Yue's army crossed the Yangtze River and began the Northern Expedition. Liu Yu had already sent an envoy to the Jin State to ask the Jin State to send troops to help.

However, Liu Yu's envoy touched the ashes of his nose at the people of Jinguo.

When Wan Yanchang met with Liu Yu's envoy, he also said in a strange manner: "The original intention of the first emperor to support Liu Yu was to protect the territory through the opening of the territory of Qi State, so that our country could rest the people. Now Liu Yujin can't take it, he can't defend it, and the war is full of disasters and there is no end. We and Liu Yu jointly sent troops, and once we won, the results will be enjoyed by Liu Yu alone. And once we are defeated, we will also sit back and suffer......"

As soon as he heard Yan Chang say this. Many people who didn't like Liu Yu followed up one after another, and finally came to the conclusion that Dajin Guo is not a charity, so let Liu Yu fend for himself, and there is no need to meddle with things.

It's strange, isn't Liu Yu a puppet raised by the Jurchens, how can he be so unpopular.

This matter has to start from the second year of Jianyan.

At that time, Liu Yu also received a salary in the Southern Song Dynasty court and served as the prefect of Jinan, while Wan Yanchang was the commander of the Jin State's attack on Shandong Province and was responsible for accepting Liu Yu's surrender.

It stands to reason that Wan Yanchang is Liu Yu's boss, and the relationship between the two of them should be very good.

In fact, Wan Yanchang and Liu Yu were like brothers, and Wan Yanchang was also the first Jurchen to recommend Liu Yu as a puppet emperor.

It's just that Wu Qimai, the gold owner at that time, did not finish Yan Chang's account.

After a while, Liu Yu wrote to Wan Yanchang saying that why the matter had not been decided? Wan Yan Chang told him that this matter was not easy to do, and he had to find the help of Wan Yan Sticky, the king of the three provinces and the king of Jin.

When Liu Yu heard this, it turned out that Wan Yan Chang was not as good as Wan Yan Sticky Han in the Jin Kingdom, so he cut off contact with Wan Yan Chang and directly gave Wan Yan Chang the gold and silver jewelry that he had promised to give Wan Yan Chang.

Wanyan sticky Han has a lot of power, and he has won the trust of Wanyan Wu Qimai, and as soon as he said the establishment of Liu Yu, Wu Qimai established Liu Yu, and also made the pseudo-Qi capital in Jinan.

After Yan Chang was busy for a long time, he didn't get a fart, and he had to give up the Shandong territory that he regarded as his own to Liu Yu, how would he feel?

There is a famous saying in "Yi Zhi Ci": "Change is not lived, and there are six voids in circulation". To put it simply, it is called "feng shui turns".

After Wu Qimai's death, there was internal strife in Jin, and Wanyan Muhan was deceived by the little emperor to obtain military power and became a civil official with no real power; And Wan Yan Chang has real power because of his discord with Wan Yan Sticky.

At this time, will Wan Yanchang still let Liu Yu have good fruits to eat?

The answer, of course, is no.

After several pleas from Liu Yu's envoys, Jin finally agreed to send troops to help in the war.

However, there is a premise for this assistance in the war, the Jin soldiers only observe the development of the war within their own borders, and will not enter the territory of the pseudo-Qi to fight.

Hahaha, the Jurchens are really interesting, this is called helping the war, at most it can only be called watching the battle

The time has come to September of the sixth year of Shaoxing.

I have to say that Liu Yu is still a little lucky. Because at this time, Yue Fei's eye disease suddenly recurred, and he couldn't see, so he had to return to Ezhou for treatment, and Yue's army suspended the attack on Liu Yu.

After returning to Ezhou, Yue Fei's eye disease became more and more severe, he was bedridden, and the pain was abnormal, so that the bedroom window during the day had to be shielded with heavy curtains.

Yue Fei was no longer able to preside over military affairs, so he could only entrust the military affairs of the front line to Wang Gui; And the daily military affairs of the Xuanfu Division were handed over to Zhang Xian, Xue Bi, Li Ruoxu and others.

After hearing the news, the imperial court specially sent two imperial doctors, Huangfu Zhichang and the monk Zhongyin, to gallop to Ezhou on a stagecoach. Under their careful treatment, Yue Fei's eye disease improved

The situation on Yue Fei's side somehow reached Liu Yu's ears.

After Liu Yuzhi explained Jin Guo's attitude towards him now, he was hesitant all day long, and then heard that Yue Fei's eye disease had improved, and he was suddenly like an ant on a hot pot, fighting in chaos.

At this time, Li Cheng, the general under Liu Yu, offered a plan - to encircle Wei to save Zhao.

Li Cheng's strategy was to gather all the forces of the puppet Qi and attack the eastern front of the Southern Song Dynasty with all his might. The target is directly directed at Lin'an Province. Emperor Gaozong was most afraid of death. See this. It is bound to order Yue Fei's class to come back to the rescue.

In this way, won't the Yue family's army retreat by itself?

Also, if there were any flaws in the retreat of the Yue family's army, maybe there would be an unexpected gain?

After the defeat of the puppet Qi in the winter of the fourth year of Shaoxing, it took more than a year to rearm and just recover. Unexpectedly, it was fiercely attacked by the Yue family's army, and the regime was in danger.

In a helpless situation, Liu Yu decided to adopt Li Cheng's strategy. Play with fire.

Liu Yu's specific method was to forcibly issue 200,000 township soldiers, known as 700,000, and divide the troops into three routes in September to invade the Huainan West Road.

For this period of history, the history of the Song Dynasty used the six words "forcibly issuing village soldiers" to record.

What does it mean to "forcibly issue a village soldier"? In vernacular terms, it is "to catch the strong man".

It's pitiful to say, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the puppet Qi regime, except for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of Li Cheng and Kong Yanzhou, the rest have basically been crippled by the Yue family's army.

So. In addition to forcibly pulling strong Ding, what other way did Liu Yu organize the army to attack the Southern Song Dynasty.

Don't think that bean buns are not food. These 200,000 strong men put on armor and uniforms, and the shadows of swords, guns and swords also added a lot of courage to Liu Yu.

In addition, Liu Yu also came up with a way to make half of the strong men change their clothes and dress up as Jurchens.

Although there is no help from the Jurchens, it is good to find some A goods to strengthen their courage!

In this way, Liu Yu's 200,000 strong men, half of which were Jurchen A goods, divided into three routes, and set off towards Huainan West Road.

Its Middle East Route Army, led by Liu Yu's nephew Liu Yilai, came out of the vortex mouth of Bauhinia Mountain and attacked Dingyuan County, Haozhou; The Middle Route Army, led by his son Liu Lin, attacked Luzhou from Shouchun Mansion; The Western Route Army, commanded by Kong Yanzhou, attempted to seize Gwangju and directed it at the Lu'an Army.

In order to achieve the goal of scaring Emperor Gaozong, Liu Yu did his best this time

I have to admit that Li Cheng's method worked.

Liu Yu's fierce offensive made the Southern Song Dynasty on the other side panic.

The information obtained by the Southern Song Dynasty court was that in order to retaliate for the actions of the Yue family's army, Liu Yu mobilized 700,000 elite soldiers to take revenge, and more than half of them were Jurchens!

This news frightened Emperor Gaozong and most of the civil and military officials. When the Jurchens destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, there was no such a big scene.

700,000 soldiers and horses, 350,000 Jurchens. You don't have to fight, it's scary to think about.

As a result, Zhao Ding immediately proposed to retreat and retreat to Lin'an Mansion.

And Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi, who were stationed in Huaixi, were even more panicked. Because the two of them found that they were the first to bear the brunt, Liu Yu's main direction of attack was coming to them.

Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi's judgment was right, and the army of the puppet Qi was coming at them.

Pseudo-Qi and the Southern Song Dynasty have fought for many years, and they are old rivals, and they know each other's roots.

Liu Yu's original intention was to scare the Southern Song Dynasty, and he would never go to Xiangyang to provoke Yue Fei, nor would he go to Zhenjiang to provoke Han Shizhong.

The development of things was as Liu Yu expected.

The "A-cargo gold soldiers" came overwhelmingly, and the two group armies of Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun retreated like flying stars. While retreating, they asked Zhao Gou for help, saying that countless Jin soldiers were chasing them.

Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun retreated so quickly that Zhang Jun, the commander-in-chief who was on the front line, was caught off guard.

In other words, neither of these two people asked for instructions, let alone approval, and simply fled without a fight. This despicable act has won the approval of a crowd.

Why can't you run away, do you have to ask for instructions first and then report, tie your hands and feet with red tape, and be chased and eliminated by the Jin army? That's self-destructive strength, and it's pointless.

In the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, this argument was very marketable and recognized by most officials, because it had been like this all these years.

At the critical moment, Emperor Gaozong, who had just passed his thirtieth birthday, still retained a sense of sobriety, and he asked Zhang Jun to report the situation immediately and determine how to deal with it militarily.

Obviously, Yue Fei's report said that the army of Pseudo-Qi had been defeated, how could it be that a large number of Pseudo-Qi and Jin Bing's combined forces were attacking now.

This is somewhat illogical!. (To be continued......)
