The Eight-Character Army can be regarded as the legendary army of the Song Dynasty. It is as famous as the Yue Family Army. To a certain extent, its legendary level can even exceed the existence of the Yue Family Army.
But now is not the time to talk about the Eight-Character Army. The biggest thing now is to find out what happened in Daming Mansion.
Only by clarifying this point can Yue Fei make his own response.
The day went by in a blink of an eye, and before the night of the next day, Wang Gui, who had gone out to inquire for information, came back exhausted and a little embarrassed.
What he brought back was not only fatigue, but also the exact news about this famous mansion.
"Officer...General Huan guessed right. The Daming Mansion is now in charge of the power, and the person guarding the city is Mr. Guo Yong, a famous scholar from the Daming Mansion, who was sent to prison on Hebei East Road.
Also participating in the war with him was Quan Bangyan of Dongping Prefecture. Guo Yong had previously been transferred to Dongping Prefecture to serve as the Secretary of Dongping Prefecture to join the army. At that time, he made all the decisions in Dongping Prefecture, whether big or small, and his relationship with Quan Bangyan was also the same. I got along at that time.
Both men are loyal and courageous people.
When Jin Wushu attacked the Central Plains, General Zongze dispatched many troops to respond.
It is true that Du Chong was the main force. In addition to Du Chong, there were several other troops who also provided support.
Among them, Guo Yong and Cao Commander Zhang Yiqian were appointed together with Du Chong. They wanted to fight against Jin Wushu together with Du Chong. They even wanted to regain Hebei along the way and give Jin Wushu and Liu Yu a hard blow. .
As a result, not only did Du Chong surrender to the enemy, the commander-in-chief Zhang Yiqian fled at this time, leaving Guo Yong alone on the Hebei Road battlefield and almost having him surrounded and strangled by the Jin.
At the critical moment, he contacted his former colleague and friend Quan Bangyan, and the two of them, with their troops and horses, actually passed through many of Jin Wushu's armies, came out of the mountains and directly cooperated with the heroes in Daming Mansion to defeat Daming Mansion.
Then he held the city in Daming Mansion and defended it. Quan Bangyan wandered outside as a corner, and at the same time recruited heroes from Hebei Road and even Hedong to help Daming Mansion. For a time, he created a huge momentum.
General Wang Yan, the commander of the capital under Zhang, the governor of Hebei, happened to rush to the Taihang Mountains to recruit heroes to fight against the Jin.
In a short period of time, tens of thousands of people gathered together, all of whom had the eight characters "Serve the country wholeheartedly and swear to kill the gold thieves" tattooed on their faces. They were called the Eight-Character Army.
Later, Fu Xuan, Meng De, Liu Ze, Jiao Wentong and other nineteen village rebels from the Taihang Mountains joined in one after another, gathering a total of hundreds of thousands of troops to travel around to fight against the Jin people.
Among them, Wang Yan led 10,000 elites to support General Zongze after his defeat. The remaining people, led by Fu Xuan, continued to wander around, waiting for the arrival of General Zhang Suo.
However, just in time for Daming Mansion to be recaptured by Guo Yong, Liu Yu gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack Daming Mansion. At a critical moment, the Eight-Character Army felt that they could not sit still and wait for death, so they directly called for soldiers and horses to fight out from the Taihang Mountains.
Liu Yu was defeated in an instant, but it attracted Du Chong and others to return to Hebei to aid. Not only did Jin Wushu send his general Wanyan Yanmu to lead the elite army back to attack.
At the same time, Nianhan, who stayed behind in Yanshan Mansion, also sent his general Wanyan Yinshu to attack Daming Mansion.
The Eight Character Army, Guo Yong and Quan Bangyan fought desperately but could not resist. At the critical moment, Zhang Yong, a hero who escaped from Tangyin, went to the mountains and borrowed tens of thousands of soldiers from his sworn brothers Cao Cheng, Li Hong, Ma Youshao and others. Horses come to the aid again.
In addition, Zhao Bushi, the general judge of Xiangzhou, stationed in Cheng'an County, Daming Prefecture, and invited Xu Huiyan, the tenth general who was in charge of the Jiangnan East Road Army and Horses Division and was in charge of Jiangnan East Road, as his general.
They joined forces with the remaining commanders of Tokyo, Xue Guang and Zhang Qiong, to enter the battlefield together, and this was the second time they blocked the troops encircling Daming Mansion.
After that, Jin Wushu and Nianhan sent reinforcements again. The battle between the two sides has turned into a mess and chaos. "
This series of events and names made Zhao Huan confused. After all, there was no such battle in history, and these specious names just flashed by in a hurry.
The one who is more familiar here should be Xu Huiyan, the top military scholar of the year and the tenth general.
After all, Wu Zhuangyuan, this thing is really good at fighting.
The other is Zhang Yong, a fellow countryman of Yue Fei who joined the Yue Family Army later in history. I have to say that Tangyin is quite a magical place.
As for others, even Zhao Huan could only say that he could remember it now, but it didn't mean much.
"General Yue, please give me an order. If there is anyone who needs help, please speak up and do whatever it takes." In order to prevent some embarrassing scenes from happening again, Zhao Huan took the lead to speak and made his attitude clear.
Yue Fei also smiled awkwardly after hearing this, and then he was really rude.
"Now that the Jin people are powerful, and with the help of the traitor Liu Yu and the traitor general Du Chong, the troops on the Hebei Road are mixed, and the commander Zhang Yiqian who fled without a fight may not be a kind person.
In addition, most of the soldiers and horses in the Central Plains have not been used. Many of these people have high positions and have become independent forces. It is somewhat difficult to win.
Now we don't know when they will join us. If we only attack Damingfu in Hebei, we will eventually fall into a stalemate and be dragged into this quagmire and unable to extricate ourselves.
A certain family means that they need support! "
"As you can tell, a certain family goes to write letters to all parties."
At this time, Yue Fei also discovered the benefits of Zhao Huan. Not only did he know many local officials of the Song Dynasty very well, it made up for his shortcomings of not knowing himself and the enemy.
The most important thing is that this person is an official. As long as he nods, Yue Fei can mobilize almost the entire Song Dynasty's troops.
Of course, Yue Fei didn't want to die, nor did he have such thoughts, but just like now, Yue Fei could easily call on several other troops to help.
"Please ask the old general Wang Yuan, the governor of Shandong, to send troops to attack Jinan Prefecture. He has the famous Jinan general Guan Sheng under his command. Please use Guan Sheng as the vanguard to send troops to Jinan Prefecture.
That place is now his hometown of Liu Yu, and he will not sit back and watch..."
"Well, wait a minute." Zhao Huan didn't want to go too far, but he couldn't help but interrupt Yue Fei to explain, "Someone may need to explain the relationship between Liu Yu and Jinan Prefecture to you.
Liu Yu indeed surrendered to the Jin soldiers in Jinan Mansion and got here step by step.
However, Liu Yu was very resistant to Jinan Prefecture from the beginning to the end. When the late emperor was still alive, he issued an edict to him to garrison Jinan.
But the imperial edict was issued many times, and in the end he almost had a knife put to his neck before he was allowed to go to Jinan Prefecture, a guy who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
When a certain... His Majesty came to power, he didn't know how to solve it. After all, his foundation was not stable at that time, and there were a lot of messy things in front of him, which finally made Liu Yu a problem.
Although the general's plan is good, the general needs to know that if Liu Yu's character does not change drastically, the possibility of him caring about Jinan is almost slim. "
"Well... General Huan reminded you well, but you can change this plan." Yue Fei pondered and continued, "We still ask General Wang Yuan to send troops to attack Jinan Prefecture with Guan Sheng as the vanguard, but General Wang Yuan did not need to go to Jinan.
Please ask General Wang Yuan to go to this place. I guess that even if Liu Yu doesn't like Jinan, he won't ignore it.
He would definitely put on a show and wait until both parties were exhausted before taking action, or he might even clean up Jinan Mansion together to consolidate his position. "
Yue Fei stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the map. Looking at the inconspicuous place name, Zhao Huan did not see anything special there, but he still believed in Yue Fei's vision.
"Okay, I'll send a letter to Shandong right now."
Yue Fei is not finished yet, he is still dispatching reinforcements.
"At this time, the battle of Damingfu is no longer a problem along the way to Hebei. Although our plan is to recuperate, quell the civil strife, and finally attack with the army to regain the rivers and mountains.
But now Daming Mansion has gathered many rebels on Hebei Road together. If they fail here, I am afraid that the entire rebels on Hebei Road and even the Taihang Mountains will be destroyed.
If we really let it go, it would be really dangerous for us to regain Hebei Road in the future.
Daming Mansion really needs a nail here!
So the general wants to ask General Zongze to take action! "
Zongze is Yue Fei's old Shangguan. Yue Fei's rise is inseparable from Zongze. The most important thing is that Zongze's status in the Song Dynasty is extremely high.
Yue Fei asked him to come out and take action, so he had to be careful.
"You say it, I'll write it." Zhao Huan didn't waste any time. He copied out a letter and began to write as soon as he picked up the pen.
"Please ask General Zongze to send his generals Ding Jin and Yang Jin into the Taihang Mountains to continue wandering for the "bandits" and contact the many civilian rebels in the Taihang Mountains here.
Try to protect their survival as much as possible, and ask them not to be too impulsive, let alone continue to take action frequently.
They are our hope for the future. The battlefield in Daming Mansion must not continue to expand. The generals for the Jin's second reinforcements have not yet been determined.
If we want to find a way to attack the siege outside Daming Mansion, we must have soldiers and horses at the rear. We can ask the many rebels under General Zongze to take action to stabilize the situation.
At the same time, General Zongze was asked to make a threat and look like he was going to fight to the death with that Jin Wushu. "
When Yue Fei said this, he also took a long breath, then continued with his eyes fixed.
"But please ask General Zongze to make a move and secretly withdraw the army from the battlefield. Don't worry about Jin Wushu's army. This man has already understood that he will not take action against General Zongze's army.
He will only cause problems behind General Zongze.
The purpose this time is not to let General Zongze force Jin Wushu. The purpose this time is to let General Zongze lure out those people with evil intentions and then annihilate them in one fell swoop! "
