Chapter 196: Black Clouds Crush the City and Destroy the City
Perhaps because of the infection of Liu Ai, Yue Fei finally walked out of the Hou Ye Mansion, and finally devoted himself to experiencing every change in Sizhou City, and confirmed everything Liu Ai had done with his heart.
Yes, Liu Yi is not wrong, everything he does is for the people of the world, for the benefit of the people of the world, he said so, and he did this, and this can be seen from the reaction of these people in Sizhou City to him.
The people of this Sizhou City, from centenarians to three-year-old naughty children, have bowed to Liu Ai, although they have not knelt three times and bowed nine times, but they are more sincere than three kneeling and nine knocking, because they are all from the heart, not on the surface.
Yue Fei is a soldier, the place he is going to is naturally the barracks, the last time he came to Sizhou City, he saw these soldiers, in his heart is still extremely unconvinced, always think that they rely on the advantage of the blade to win him, when more than a year later, when he saw these soldiers again, he was deeply shocked.
For Yang Shihan's soldiers, he didn't ask about it, Zhang Xian and Yue Yun were training recruits, he really wanted to go over to help, this can be regarded as repaying Liu Ai's kindness, when he came to this unit, he was also stunned.
Because he saw a different Zhang Xian, and also saw a different Yue Yun, when Zhang Xian and Yue Yun were training in the past, they were both blue-faced, and they both studied like him.
But this time it was different, whether it was Zhang Xian or Yue Yun, they all had a smile in their eyes, and when they saw the soldiers fall off their horses, they not only did not punish them, but also ran up to help each other with a smile, asking long and short questions, for fear that they would fall and be injured.
No, they are not training, they are playing, they are misleading people's children, Yue Fei also decided to do something for Sizhou City, thinking about it, only by training an excellent army for Sizhou City, so that it can be regarded as worthy of Liu Ai.
Therefore, he wanted Zhang Xian and Yue Yun to retreat, and he wanted to personally train this unit, and when he heard that Liu Xian had only put forward the only request not to beat and scold the soldiers, Yue Fei also felt deeply shocked.
If he hadn't gone to see Yang Shihan's army, he would definitely say that this kind of request was fooling around, but he didn't say anything now, but chose to be silent, he was a professional soldier, and he only had to look at Yang Shihan's army to know what the combat effectiveness was.
Yue Yun seemed to be more afraid of him, and when he saw him coming, he just hid next to him and didn't speak, while Zhang Xian told Yue Fei about his recent training experience, Yue Fei didn't speak, just sighed softly, and returned to Hou Ye's mansion, because he suddenly realized that letting Zhang Xian Yue Yun train this army might have a better effect.
Liu Ai is still very busy, very busy, for the training of the troops, he only occasionally asked, did not spend much thought, he spent the main energy on the construction of swords, although the entire Sizhou City blacksmith shop carpenter shop is used to make weapons, but still feel that the production is too slow.
Since Yue Fei left, Yue's army has been led by Yang Zaixing, Liu Yi was afraid that Yue Fei would leave the barracks for too long, which would reduce his influence, so he didn't let him stay in Sizhou City for long, but let him and Zhang Xianyue return to the army in dense secrets, and accepted the same task as last time, to stop Wanyan Zonghan in Taiyuan.
Because in his memory, the second Kaifeng siege, the tactics adopted by the Jin State were the same as the first time, still led by Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang's Eastern Route Army was 60,000 for the first time, and this time there were 80,000, and the main generals were Wanyan Yanmu and Wanyan Chang.
The main general of Wanyan Zonghan's Western Route Army was Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Lou Room and Wanyan Yinkeshu, originally there were only 60,000 people, but when besieging Taiyuan, they kept replenishing, and the total number of people more than doubled.
After the city of Taiyuan was broken, in addition to the 50,000 people who stayed in Tongguan, there were still 70,000 or 80,000 men and horses who came to Kaifeng to join Wanyan Zongwang, so the second Kaifeng siege, the strength of the Jin State reached more than 150,000.
And Huaxia here. During the first siege of the city, the original forbidden army of Kaifeng, plus the Qinwang army that came from the northwest one after another, reached a total of two or three hundred thousand.
After the siege was lifted, these large armies were not placed where they should go, some of them were sent to the northwest for demobilization, some of them were lost in the battle of Taiyuan to relieve the siege, some of them were scattered on the south bank of the Yellow River, and some of them were dismissed for economic reasons by the ministers of the surrender faction Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong.
Therefore, during the second siege, the defenders in the city were less than 70,000, and the Qinwang troops in various places had already been restrained by the orders of Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong. Only Zhang Shuye, the governor of Nandao, and his two sons, Bofen and Zhongxiong, disobeyed this surrender order and recruited 13,000 soldiers to King Qin.
After encountering Yan Zonghan in Yingchang Mansion, the eighteen battles of the big and small won and lost each other, and finally the whole army broke into Kaifeng City, which was the only Qinwang army that could enter Kaifeng City in the second siege battle.
So whether he can repel the Jin soldiers this time, the key is still whether Yue Fei can stop Wanyan Zonghan in Taiyuan, of course, Liu Yi has revealed this information to Yue Fei, and he did not say that he is a descendant, history is recorded like this, but he basically opened the siege for the first time, plus the recent spy report, and the conclusion of comprehensive analysis.
Yue Fei no longer doubts Liu Ai's ability, since he analyzes it like this, he naturally has his reasons, otherwise, why would he risk his death to sneak into Kaifeng, and enter the palace in the snow to restrain Liu Blind to save himself.
Moreover, according to Liu Aiji's inference, the court spared no effort to crack down on the main battle faction, and the Jin State would definitely break into when the Huaxia State was weak, so the war should not be far away, and the time was very likely to be in September.
Because the autumn harvest has just been completed in September, it is the time when the people are the richest, and it seems unreasonable not to come to rob at this time, Yue Fei is also quite impressed by Liu Yi's meticulous analysis.
At the same time, seeing that Liu Yi had handed over such an important injury to himself, he was also very moved, and immediately said something serious, as long as he Yue Fei was in Taiyuan for a day, he would not let Jin Bing cross Taiyuan and go straight to Kaifeng.
Of course, Liu Ai has trust in Yue Fei's ability, everyone is a heroic child, and there are not so many mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law, Liu Ai has arranged Yue Fei's task, so he asked him to return to Taiyuan as soon as possible and master Yue's army.
Like last time, Liu Ying had also given him 100,000 steel knives, but this time Yue Fei didn't ask for it, because he was now guilty of a crime now, and he couldn't go to Taiyuan blatantly, not to mention, his troops did not have 100,000 people, and the steel knives from last time were not completely distributed, they were all there.
Liu Yi had heard him say this, and he didn't force it, after all, there are not many steel knives now, if they are all given to Yue Fei, his own people and horses will be gone, it is July now, but Liu Yi has already smelled the strong smell of smoke.
The people from all over the rivers and lakes also came to Sizhou City one after another, and Sizhou City was really overcrowded for a while, Liu Yi had already considered that Sizhou City was still some distance away from Feng, so he divided these people into groups and scattered them to the cottages around Kaifeng, and also sent a capable team of 500 people to enter Kaifeng in batches to accept the command of Tianbo Mansion.
Although Liu Blind wanted to kill himself, Liu Ying still wrote to Liu Blind for the sake of the people of Huaxia, asking him to prepare for the enemy as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too late to regret a word.
Liu Blind didn't know if he had seen this twist and turn, but he only knew that the court had no follow-up actions, and what made him even more angry was that the court was at this time, and it was still fighting the main battle faction, and it was really rotten to the root.
Time passed in depression, seeing that the southern invasion of the Jin soldiers was getting closer and closer, and the court suppressed the main battle faction more and more, and those who had a slight sense of justice in the court were exiled, and the situation was critical to the extreme.
Those who are masters and gentlemen, in order not to anger the Jin people, not only satisfy their lions to open their mouths, ask for money to send money, if there is no money, they will demolish the house and tear down the house, ask for grain and send grain, and if there is no food, they will take the ploughing cattle to fill the number, and ask women to send women, not to mention those folk women, even the palace maids in the palace are not spared, this is not ruthless, but even the garrisons in various places have to be assigned by the Jin State, and the Jin State has become the emperor strictly.
Liu Ai has seen all the changes in Huaxia Kingdom, and he has pain in his heart, especially those garrisons, which make his heart ache even more, all according to the arrangement of the Jin Kingdom, what is the difference between this and opening the door to welcome thieves? And those ministers who are the Lord and the Peacekeeper are not only ashamed, but proud of it, and not only are they rewarded from the Jin Kingdom.
There is nothing more shameful than a reward from an enemy country, and when Liu Yi thought of this, Huo Di stood up and slammed his fist on the desk in front of him, only to hear the sound of a bang, and the desk suddenly split apart.
Those pro-soldiers who were originally waiting outside, saw this and hurriedly ran in, seeing that Liu Ai had a blue face, he didn't dare to ask, just packed up his things, Xiao Zhao had been with Liu Ai during this time, and when he saw that he was angry, he asked those pro-soldiers to quickly pack up their things and go out.
Then he gently touched Liu Aiji's chest with his hand, and said softly: "Childe, why are you so angry? Our Huaxia Kingdom is so big, I don't believe that Jin Guo can eat him, just like a snake and an elephant, this Jin Guo is a snake in the end, no matter how greedy he is, he can't eat our elephant!"
Liu Ill was already smiling bitterly in his heart, although this golden soldier was a snake, he really ate this elephant, and their descendants would annex the whole of China a few hundred years later, but these words, Liu Ill naturally couldn't say to Xiao Zhao, just waved his hand lightly, let her go out first, and be quiet by herself.
Whether Huaxia can keep it or not, he is now only pinning his hopes on three forces, one is Yue Fei's Yue Family Army, hoping that he can block Yan Zonghan's Western Route Army in Taiyuan.
One is the female general of the Yang Sect of Tianbo Mansion, hoping that they can block Wanyan Zongwang's offensive like last time, but this time is different from the last time, when the siege was opened for the first time, there were still ministers of the main battle like Li Gang in the court, and there were also famous generals like Shidao.
And this time, Tianbo Mansion has become a lonely army, and the third force is the elite soldiers of Sizhou City, as well as the hot-blooded men on the rivers and lakes. (To be continued.) )
