Yue Fei has determined that the Jin's style of play is Tian Ji's horse racing. Now that he has regained the six counties of Hanxiang and defeated the opponent's Xiasi, his biggest worry is where Jin Wushu and Nianhan are.
Now that there are so many battlefields in the Song Dynasty, Yue Fei has guessed that Nianhan's target will definitely not be in the south. He can only attack Guanzhong in Shaanzhou, or Daming Prefecture in the Central Plains, or the worst is Hedong in Shandong.
However, after thinking about it, I am afraid that the best choice is to take advantage of Xixia to attack Shaanzhou, which has the second largest force in the Song Dynasty.
Defeating them also played a vital role for the Jin people.
Regarding the battlefield in Shaanzhou, Yue Fei could only say that he was helpless and placed all his hopes on his comrades.
But there was a magic trick on the other side, and he had to find it. If they didn't get rid of this troublemaker, their rear would never be able to stabilize.
He had previously advanced into Jianghuai and attacked Hanxiang. He could even be considered as a lone army. His role was to drive a nail into the rear of the Song Dynasty.
Now Jin Wushu is going to pierce into the flesh of Song Dynasty, and Yue Fei is going to pull him out completely.
In this situation, there is no possibility of a peaceful solution between the two parties.
At this time, Yue Fei had established a firm foothold in Ezhou. In the desperate state of the Yue Family Army before, the people who had fled throughout the six counties of Hanxiang knew that the Yue Family Army had arrived.
Yue Fei sent 2,000 men to guard Xiangyang Prefecture and the two prefectures of Tang and Deng, 150 men to guard Ying Prefecture, and 200 men to guard Sui Prefecture.
He also ordered the garrison to repair the city and strengthen the security, and then vigorously set up camps to attract returning people, allowing the entire six counties of Han and Xiang to quickly recover.
Let this become a strategic location connecting Sichuan, Shaanxi, Northern China and the Central Plains in the future.
At this time, after receiving the battle report from the rear, Yue Fei was not in a hurry. He first asked Dong Xian to lead the Tabai Army towards Jiankang and find out all the information that needed to be found out.
But when Yue Fei knew that Jin Wushu had successively captured Lishui, Guangde, Anji, Huzhou, and was marching directly to Hangzhou, he immediately asked his general Niu Gao to lead a thousand troops to capture Liyang.
Yue Fei did not go to rescue Hangzhou this time, but directly chose to let Zhang Jun and Zhao Huan attract the absolute main force of the Jin army from the front.
He led the troops behind him, waiting for the opportunity to give him a severe blow. If he had used this style of fighting, he would have definitely taken off half of his own head.
But Yue Fei and Zhao Huan were different. They had a tacit understanding and didn't even need to say anything. As long as he showed his head behind Jin Wushu, he believed that Zhao Huan would be able to understand the matter.
Then we can take advantage of the situation and drag the main force of the Jin people to Hangzhou.
This is Yue Fei's confidence in Zhao Huan.
Under the night, Niu Gao, who came by surprise, looked at the Liyang County in front of him, without much worry on his face.
Still following the old rules, he took off his close-fitting wine bag from his waist, and then drank a sip of strong liquor for himself, and all his soldiers followed suit.
Niugao likes to drink, and his alcohol capacity is astonishing. It is often said that strong alcohol can strengthen the courage. If he does not drink, killing will not be pleasant.
Therefore, there are more than a thousand elite confidants around him who are like him and have Yue Fei's special permission. Each of them has a bag of wine. As long as things are not delayed, each of them is promised a sip of strong wine before the war.
Now that the wine is drunk, all that's left is a fight to the death.
"Kill!" With a roar, Niu Gao took the lead to charge forward. They didn't even have a ladder. In order to ensure their concealment, they didn't have any siege equipment in their hands.
But how can they attack Liyang like this?
Although Liyang is not a city with tall and solid walls, it is still a city. How to attack it?
It's very simple. If you don't have a ladder, just use a human ladder!
A famous soldier quickly rushed to the bottom of the city wall of Liyang, then bowed down and let the soldiers behind him climb on top of him, and so on to continuously lift his comrades.
The soldiers at the bottom were already bleeding from the mouth and nose due to being overwhelmed, but now none of them said a word.
Niu Gao also directly stepped on the bodies of his soldiers and quickly rushed towards the city wall with his maces in hand. Under the night attack, the soldiers of Liyang City had already wasted too much time from the initial panic to the thought of finding the crossbowmen. time.
When the arrow rain appeared, Niu Gao had already led his men to rush onto the city wall. With constant beating of his maces, he killed a soldier guarding the city on the spot.
The elite behind them also rushed to the city wall. Under the leadership of Niu Gao, they quickly captured the city wall. More and more soldiers appeared, but there were not many defenders left by the Jin people.
In addition, Liyang was captured by them not long ago, let alone governance and stability. Even if they burned, killed, and looted, they had not had time to do much.
As soon as Niu Gao took action here, there were already righteous men and brave men among the people in the city who responded to attack together.
Within an hour, Niu Gao successfully captured Liyang and at the same time wiped out the remaining Jin men. The general guarding the city was a little-known guy, so Niu Gao killed him casually.
When Niugao captured Liyang County, which was occupied by the Jin army, Yue Fei immediately led his troops to attack Guangde, and continued to fight and wander around Guangde.
Nowadays, even if Jin Wushu appears in person in Jiangnan, he may not be Yue Fei's opponent, let alone the Jin generals stationed in Guangde.
In Guangde, Yue Fei was like a slippery fish that kept people confused, but from time to time he would appear and disappear, beating the golden people in Guangde to death.
Six battles and six victories make Jin people tremble with fear when they hear the word "Yue".
But just like before, this time the Qingqi assault was led by elites, and the army and grain were all moving slowly in the rear. Yue Fei was short of grain, so under the cover of the common people, he entered Zhongcun in Guangde and stationed himself. .
But such a small village can only rely on the surrounding mountains and rivers to hide Yue Fei and others. It is really insufficient to support food and grass.
Yue Fei also understood this truth. He knew that he was short of food and fodder, and he was not planning to attack the prefectures and counties for the time being, so he could not get more food and fodder, but even so he issued a strict order.
"All officers and men are not allowed to disturb the people, and they are not allowed to ask for food or fodder from the people. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
Yue Fei, who was originally wandering around waiting for reinforcements from the rear, received a request for help from another place under this situation.
"The villain is under the command of the Yixing County Magistrate. He has come to ask for a meeting with General Yue. Please ask General Yue to station in Yixing for rescue!"
A man somehow managed to find Yue Fei's location faster than the Jin people and asked him to rescue Yixing, which was being harassed and attacked by the defeated army.
It goes without saying that what he said was the same as what Dong Xian had found out.
But similarly, Yue Fei couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
"How did you know that we were stationed here?"
"The scouts under the general's command are all elites in the army. Of course, the traces along the way have been cleaned up, but after all, thousands of soldiers and horses chewing the grain here consume a lot of money.
The general's unwillingness to disturb the people is indeed a blessing to the people of Jiangnan, but the same is true for the general who can only find ways to buy grain.
You only need to check the food prices, merchants, and merchants in the black market, and you can easily find the general.
Of course, the general should not worry about the Jin people learning about this.
Let’s not talk about whether they care about this kind of thing. Even if they care, they probably have no way to investigate.
That is to say, there is still a way for me to find out a little bit. "
After hearing these words, Yue Fei was relieved, and at the same time he did not refuse the request of the Yixing County Magistrate.
"Yixing is not far from here. Since the county magistrate is sincerely asking for help, we naturally cannot sit idly by.
Dong Xian, Tabai's army went ahead to inquire about the enemy's situation.
Yang Zaixing is the pioneer, and we will go to Yixing! "
"The last general takes command!"
After everyone agreed, they immediately took action, and when they entered the Yixing realm, they did not receive much hindrance.
Those who attacked Yixing were really just a group of defeated troops, most of whom were rogue bandits gathered by Zhang Jun during this period. After being defeated by the Jin people, they did not dare to return to Zhang Jun's command and continue fighting.
I didn’t want to surrender to the Jin people, so I just muddle along and treat myself as a real bandit.
How could such a group of people be the opponent of Yue Fei, Yang Zaixing and others? After a simple charge, the leader of the thieves was killed, everyone surrendered, and then Yue Fei completely surrendered.
At this time, the Yixing County Magistrate also ran out quickly and knelt down in front of Yue Fei.
"Please also ask General Yue to station in Yixing to protect the safety of the people in our county!
This defeated army was just a troop under Guo Ji. There were many forces under his command, including more than a hundred warships and tens of thousands of troops.
Without the general, I would be in danger in Yixing! "
Yue Fei, who was already ready to agree, was stunned for a moment after hearing these words, and slowly walked up to the county magistrate.
"I have heard of Guo Ji, but what I don't understand is why Guo Ji is so interested in you, Yixing.
You can't see anything happening to this bandit army. How do you know that you are going to be in disaster? "
Looking into Yue Fei's eyes, the county magistrate also knew that he had accidentally said too much, and he also knew that he no longer had to think too much about whether to save his life or his wealth.
"General Yue, forgive me. The main reason is that there is something that Guo Ji wants in Yixing. Now this news has probably reached Guo Ji's ears."
"What does he want?"
"food!"
"The defeated army and bandits naturally need food and money, but how much food do you have in Yixing?"
"If there are ten thousand...if there are ten thousand troops, Yixing's food can last for ten years!"
After saying this, the Yixing County Magistrate buried his head deeply. He knew what he was going to accept.
"Ha...ha...hahahaha..." Yue Fei was really shocked by this caution, and then he chuckled to burst into laughter, and finally stretched out his hand to point at them.
"Capture them all and leave them to the officials after the war!"
