Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 386 Persecution

Yue Yun returned to Juyongguan with 3,000 people, and he walked towards the city wall.

Sure enough, Yue Fei was here.

Yue Yun rushed in front of Yue Fei and said, "Commander, we have been chasing you for half an hour just now, why did you let us come back?"

Yue Fei said: "The terrain in the mountain is complicated. If you continue to move forward, the possibility of encountering an ambush is too great! There are many places in this mountain where you can ambush! There are also talents among the Jurchens, and they will definitely control the situation and will not let them You have been attacking their rout."

"However, Commander, we also have 40,000 troops. If all 40,000 troops rush forward, it is not impossible to defeat all the Khitan and Jurchen coalition forces." Yue Yun said.

"After two days and three nights of war, the soldiers are extremely exhausted! This is a big mountain. We chase the exhausted army with an exhausted army. Even if we can win, we will suffer heavy losses. If Wan Yanchang leads the army again, we will lose Juyongguan, what should we do then? The situation in the world has become clear. Our Han people have now surpassed the Jurchens. As long as Yan Zongwang is eliminated, all parts of the Central Plains, including the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, will be completely recovered. The Central Plains will be stable, and our national strength will be stronger. , Then it will be the final decisive battle with Jurchen! At such a moment, the most important thing is to be safe, step by step, and not to make dangerous moves!" Yue Fei said.

"But, father, you told us to go out to fight, but we barely fought the Jurchens, so we came back again." Yue Yun said with some dissatisfaction.

"You chased the Jurchens just now, and many of them have already died! Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future." Yue Fei laughed.

"Yun'er, the Jurchen and Khitan people trampled on each other just now, and I think more than 10,000 people died! I heard that you have already encountered an ambush at the mountain stream, and you can't go any further! Brother Yue said it just now, the situation in the world It has completely fallen to us Han people. Under such circumstances, we only need to fight steadily to completely defeat the Jurchen. If the soldiers make a dangerous move, there may be accidents! If we lose Juyongguan, that would be a really bad thing!" Dong Xian walked up and said with a smile.

Yue Yun nodded unwillingly.

"The Jurchen's spirit has been weakened. As long as we hold this place firmly, they should not attack again in a short time! I think the possibility of the Jurchens attacking Datong is very high! I am very worried, and you will send people again Go to Zijing Pass, Datong, Yanmen Pass and other places, let them be careful of the enemies on the grassland, and let them immediately force Wanyan Zongwang to go to Hebei! Only if Wanyan Zongwang goes to Hebei, can we really rest assured." Yue Fei said.

Last night, he had already written to the defenders in Datong and Qu Duan, asking them to force the 200,000 Jurchen army from Hedong to go to Hebei, and prepare to use Hebei as the main battlefield to destroy the Jurchens! When they arrived in Hebei, the Jurchens in the Central Plains had completely lost contact with the north, and they had no possibility of turning around! If it was in Hedong, Jin Wushu, Wanyanchang and others led an army to attack Datong, and Wanyanzong hoped that the inside and the outside would cooperate, and the possibility of accidents was still very high. This time Jin Wushu was only because Zhongjing was closer to Juyongguan, so it first launched an attack on Juyongguan instead of taking a long way to Datong. If Jin Wushu went to Datong this time, the result might not be the same as now.

"Pay close attention to the news of the fleeing Jurchens! In this way, Juyong Pass is secure, Yue Yun, you immediately lead 3,000 cavalry to Zijing Pass, and then enter the grassland from Zijing Pass to investigate grassland information! If there is an army from the grassland going to Datong, come and report immediately , when necessary, I can personally lead the army to snipe the grassland Jurchen! In short, we must never let them unite with the Jurchen of the Central Plains!" Yue Fei thought for a while and said.

"Okay!" Yue Yun heard that he could go to battle again, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded hastily.

Yue Yun had already left, only Yue Fei and Dong Xian remained on the city wall.

"Yue Yun is extremely brave, and his martial arts is also extremely strong. He will be able to catch up with you, Brother Yue in the future, but he is still a little impatient." Dong Xian said with a smile.

"He still needs to train hard! Let's go, let's discuss the way for the final battle in the Central Plains!" Yue Fei said.

Dong nodded first.

The autumn rain was still falling non-stop, Yue Fei and Dong Xian entered the room, and the staff officers of their generals also called in, and they spread out the map of the north to study the situation of the war in the north.

Now 500,000 of the 700,000 troops of the Song Army have entered the Central Plains!

There are more than 100,000 troops assembled in Datong and Yanmenguan. In addition, there are also garrisons in Yinzhou and Xiazhou in the original Western Xia Dynasty. There are 150,000 troops led by Qu Duan in southern Shanxi, and 150,000 troops led by Zhao Zhe in southern Hebei. In the Shandong area, there is an army of 150,000 led by Li Xianzhong. The rest of Yue Fei is stationed at Juyongguan, and Liu Kai is still on guard against Shanhaiguan.

Wanyan Zongwang is still trapped in Hedong!

"Wanyan Zongwang can only enter Hebei from the Taihang Mountains. After entering Hebei, he must go north and enter here! The puppet troops in Shandong have not yet been wiped out. We can open a road in the west and force them to come to Hebei as well! Our generals Real people and puppet troops are besieging this place, and they will be annihilated here!" Yue Fei pointed to a place on the map.

Many staff members studied together, and for a whole day, they all felt that this place was good!

Some time ago, the General Staff Headquarters had sent an order that the Forbidden Army in the Central Plains, the Celebration Army, and the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army were all under the command of Yue Fei. Yue Fei was already a veritable commander-in-chief of the north. Soon someone was ordered by Yue Fei to go to Hebei, Shandong and other places , Notified Liu Qi, Li Xianzhong, Zhang Xian and others to force the Shandong puppet army towards Hebei.

*** ***

In fact, what Yue Fei didn't know was that at Yanmen Pass, a mobilization order was being made here.

Datong, Yanmenguan, Xixia Defense Line, Quduan Army and Zhao Zhe Army, these three armies are still under the command of the General Staff Headquarters and are not under the jurisdiction of Yue Fei. The reason why Yue Fei was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the north was because the communication conditions in this era were too poor. If several armies entered Yanyun and Shandong, there must be capable generals in charge.

All the troops at Yanmen Pass have been mobilized to fight south!

"We've been here for half a year, and now we can finally go out and fight!"

"I heard that General Qu Duan also led an army of 150,000 to kill from the southeast of the river. If we cooperate with them in the north, the Jurchen will definitely be defeated!"

"A large army is coming here from the direction of Xixia! In the next few days, our number of soldiers and horses here will also exceed 150,000!"

"There are only 300,000 troops, and we have to keep people to guard Datong and Yanmen Pass. I wonder if we can defeat the Jurchens?"

"We fight the enemy bravely, and we will definitely be able to destroy the Jurchen!"

In the heavy rain, there are still countless soldiers standing on the city wall, and these soldiers are talking excitedly at this moment.

The entire army is mobilizing, including the youths of the production and construction corps who are transporting supplies. They have also prepared orders to follow the army and take charge of logistics.

At this moment, Wang Fang and Wei You, the two deputy commanders of the celebration army, are standing on the wall of Yanmen Pass, looking into the distance.

There is also a Jurchen military camp in the distance, but the number of Jurchens stationed in this military camp is only a few thousand, which is not worth mentioning.

After the Jurchen confronted each other here for several months, knowing that Yanmen Pass could not be taken, the Jurchen army had already retreated to the city in the east of the river, and some soldiers and horses left here were only used as a warning!

"Are we really going to attack Hedong?" Wei You asked.

"It's natural!" Wang Fang said.

"Didn't the previous strategy wait for Yue Fei, Liu Qi, and Li Xianzhong to lead troops to surround Jurchen together?" Wei You asked a little strangely.

"The strategy of the General Staff Headquarters is also constantly changing. In the past, it was indeed sticking to the Yanmen Pass, waiting for the arrival of the army, and besieging the Central Plains Jurchen together! Or waiting for them to go east and enter Hebei by themselves! We didn't dare to go south before, because we were afraid of forcing them to There are hundreds of thousands of puppet troops in Hebei, Shandong and other places. If Wanyan Zongwang had arrived in those places early, they would still be able to fight us with the 200,000 Jurchen army, hundreds of thousands of puppet troops, and Hebei and Shandong. Contest! But now, we have captured most of Shandong. After General Zhao Zhe's Jingyuan Army entered Hebei, it has already captured the southern part of Hebei. Moreover, the General Staff is still worried that the Jurchens will go south to attack Datong, Yanmen and other places. The Jurchens and Wanyan Zong want to cooperate with each other, and we are not easy to deal with! So we have to go south immediately and force them to enter Hebei." Wang Fangdao.

The strategy of the General Staff Headquarters actually coincides with the strategy formulated by Yue Fei! It's just that the people Yue Fei sent to report have not yet arrived, and they are already about to act!

"Let's destroy that barracks tonight! Afterwards, we will go all the way south and take down the small cities in Shuo, Dai and other places! General Qu Duan will launch an attack from the southeast of the river! We will press on both sides and outnumber them. Wanyan Zongwang will never Will fight us to the death, and will choose to enter Hebei! Also, according to the military order of the General Staff Headquarters, those youths of the Production and Construction Corps also put on military uniforms and follow behind the army to confuse Wanyan Zongwang, making him think that our troops have increased dramatically, The only option for him is to retreat to Hebei!" Wang Fang said.
