Chapter 216: Let Me Go Home!
"Found."
"Then you saw Meng Chao?"
Xiao Gwen didn't speak, but nodded.
He still looked terrified.
I don't know what to do in such a situation.
After all, he hadn't encountered anything like this before.
The most important thing is that Xiao Gwen has already regarded the army led by Yue Fei as a living Shura from hell at this time.
It's terrifying.
More than an hour ago, the three hundred people he led were also strong generals in the Jurchen clan.
The ability of individual soldiers to fight is tested by the flames of war.
It can be said that in front of the same number of cavalry, it is full of lethality and color.
But what!
He witnessed a duel between cavalry throughout the process.
The Jurchen cavalry presented a one-sided disadvantage.
And the three hundred cavalry led by Yue Fei only killed seventeen people!
A battle loss ratio of seventeen to three hundred.
This was something that Shaw Gwen had never seen since he joined the army, and he had never even heard of it before.
Therefore, Shaw Gwin is now only thinking about survival.
If only he could make it back to the north alive.
He swore that he would never follow the army south in his life.
Instead, they will return to their hometown, hunt and fish between the white mountains and black waters, and spend the rest of their lives.
Shaw's complex-thinking gaze was cloudy.
raised his head in a messy tone, looked at Yue Fei who was sitting on the general's seat with a serious face, and asked, "Dare to ask if your general can sue me?" ”
"Yue Pengju."
"Okay, admire it below. If General Yue can let go of Zaixia, he swears that he will not step into the Song Land for the rest of his life. ”
Yue Fei bowed slightly, and said without changing his face: "I want to remind you that freedom is exchanged for sincerity, what did you discuss with Meng Chao?" ”
"It's better to be honest."
"I said."
Xiao Gwen was silent for a long time, and then said: "Seven days ago, Meng Chao of your dynasty wrote a letter to our commander. ”
"Are you talking about Wanyan Sosuke?"
"Yes, it's Sosuke."
"At that time, he was serving by the side of the commander Zongfu, and Meng Chao expressed his intention to reduce the gold in his letters, and threatened that he would have an army of 200,000."
"Zongfu was extremely surprised by this, so he sent him to meet Meng Chao in person, and by the way, he learned the truth about this place."
Hear Shaw Gwin say that.
Wang Gui breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that his judgment is not wrong at all.
Yue Fei's expression was as usual, and he continued to ask, "Then what do you think of Meng Chao's strength?" Is there really an army of 200,000? ”
Hearing about 200,000, Xiao Gwen seemed to be greatly stimulated.
With a gloomy face and angry face, he said: "That guy is a cunning villain. ”
"His 200,000 yuan is boasted, and after I investigated, I found that there were less than 10,000 sergeants under his command, and the maximum number of people who could really pull out to fight was 3,000, and it was the kind that fought soft battles."
It can be seen that Xiao Gwen is not lightly angry.
However, he did not express his dissatisfaction with Meng Chao.
Because as long as it is a surrender, those 10,000 people are also people.
At such a critical moment, if the defenders of the Song Dynasty were defenseless, they were suddenly stabbed by 10,000 people.
Then there will be a huge reversal of the occupation.
Therefore, after Xiao Gwen was depressed, he quickly returned to normal.
Instead, he had an expression like a third grandson, kneeling alone under Yue Fei's tent.
However, none of this is important to Yue Fei.
The important thing is what Meng Chao conspired with the gold thief.
Faced with this question, Xiao Gwen looked hesitant, and obviously hesitated for a long time in his heart.
In the end, he raised his head embarrassedly and said, "I hope that General Yue can give me a chance to reform my life next time." ”
"Of course, as long as you cooperate, Ben will let you return to your hometown, now you just have to tell me that Meng Chao intends to cater to you?"
"He's going to give Sosuke a big gift."
"What courtesy?"
"A county town that makes Liu Chengru feel like a fish in his throat."
"It's Fucheng, right?" Yue Fei asked.
"How do you know?" Xiao Gwen looked at Yue Fei in disbelief, and soon his gaze became eclipsed by Yue Fei's fierce, pure and resolute eyes.
"Yes, that Meng Chao plans to defect to Fucheng, the military town of Hexi, and will submit an edict to the defenders over there before the action, hoping to get the imperial court's edict."
"He used this to numb the defenders of Fuxian, and after opening the city, he openly rebelled, killed the defenders in the city and occupied Fucheng, as a springboard for Zongfu's army to attack Cangzhou, as well as a grain transportation channel."
Hear that.
Yue Fei and Wang Gui glanced at each other, and both gasped.
Fortunately, they intercepted these Jurchens today and got such important information.
Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.
It's just that Yue Fei was also impressed by Meng Chao.
If you want to say that guy is a bandit, he still has a tactical strategy for marching and fighting.
But if you want to say that he is a rebel general, the violent deeds he has done are not even as good as bandits.
In any case, the Fucheng side was a crucial point in the rear of the Jin army.
Its strategic position is equivalent to that of a street pavilion during the Three Kingdoms period.
Zhuge Liang lost the street pavilion and was forced to abandon the thousand-mile defense line and retreat to Bashu again.
And today, if the Great Song Dynasty loses Fucheng, it will be the same.
The entire Li Gang defense line will be completely exposed to the Jin army's troops.
There is no buffer in between.
In any case, Fucheng must not afford to lose.
"Did Wanyan Zongfu give you any other instructions?"
"No, what I said below is true, and I ask General Yue to keep his promise."
"I'll think about it, I'll think about it."
Now that's all the time to ask.
All that's left is what to do with this Shaw Gwen affair.
For a while, the generals in the account expressed their stance and killed them directly.
Xiao Gewen said in a panic: "General Yue, you just promised that you would go back to your hometown next time." ”
"Yes, I promised you. You'll be back home. ”
"Huh? Yes? ”
Xiao Gwen's expression was abrupt, and he immediately cried: "No, you deceived me. ”
At the same time, Wang Gui pulled out his saber and put it on Xiao Gwen's neck.
"General, give the order."
Yue Fei ignored Xiao Gwen's pleas, and said in a cold voice: "I didn't deceive you, but I still need you to do something for us." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Gwen seemed to grasp the life-saving straw.
Nodding his head: "Don't say one thing, as long as the general mentions it, he knows everything and obeys everything." ”
And voila!
Are the Jurchens fierce?
Aren't the Jurchens also soft bones, traitors with elbows turned out?
Therefore, the guidance of public opinion is very important.
This is also the source of Zhao Shuo's axiom of strategic contempt for the enemy.
Now Yue Fei's first thing to do is not to behead this Jurchen Sentinel Centurion.
Instead, he quickly disarmed Meng Chao and ensured the safety of Fucheng.
And now it can be hammered, Meng Chao is a big traitor who sells for glory.
Not only to kill, but also to spread the first major border towns in the north to set an example.
