Liu Yu felt that his role as King of Qi was about to come to an end. These days were becoming more and more difficult.
Compared to Du Chong, who was already quite famous before his treason. Although he really couldn't be beaten, he could really brag about it.
Liu Yu was much more miserable. Liu Yu himself once said that he came from a farming family, and when he deceived his friends, they were stunned for a moment before they could react.
Until someone with a quick mind said, "Isn't your family just farming?"
Only then did people reveal his family background, and it was rumored that this guy had stolen platinum bowls, gauze clothes and other items from his classmates when he was young, but due to lack of evidence, the matter was dropped.
During the Yuanfu period, Liu Yu passed the Jinshi examination and was successfully appointed as the imperial censor in the palace a few years later.
As a result, as soon as he got this good official position, he was directly suppressed by others. His background was exposed, and the admonishers attacked him wildly. In the end, Zhao Ji didn't know why he valued him so much and saved him.
As a result, Liu Yu committed suicide and finally got Zhao Ji's favor. Then he insisted on writing many times about the etiquette system, which completely angered Zhao Ji, who had always liked extravagance.
He threw his old hat off and scolded him for being a farmer from Hebei and not understanding etiquette.
He denounced Liu Yu for inspecting the two Zhejiang provinces, and later changed his sentence to the Imperial College and paid homage to the official to punish him for Hebei.
At that time, the Jin people invaded heavily, and Liu Yu, who was in a prison in Hebei Province, abandoned his official position and fled. He thought that this had nothing to do with his official career. As a result, his close friend Zhang Cui, the minister of Zhongshu, recommended him to the official position of the prefect of Jinan. .
Although he was hesitant and hesitant, he finally chose the path of surrender.
It can be said that Liu Yu has always been the kind of guy who can't tell the difference, but he is also a smart man, and he can always make the right decision in desperate situations.
Although the judgment may not be correct, it really has some ability.
At this time, Liu Yu returned to the army base camp and saw Yue Fei clearing the land of Yiluo, and knew that a decisive battle was about to begin. Once Yue Fei cleared the soldiers and horses of the land of Yiluo.
Then the next step is to defeat Shandong, followed closely by sending troops to Hebei.
By that time, his Qi State will really exist in name only. After all, it is simply not feasible to just use the completely eroded Hebei Road as a base.
Du Chong's Chu State has become a joke. If it loses Shandong and Yiluo and other places, Liu Yu's Qi State will also become a joke.
Liu Yu couldn't accept it, and neither could the Jin people.
"Mobilize the army to station in Shunzhou Prefecture to govern Yiyang County." Liu Yu gave the order and immediately ordered his subordinates, the Shunzhou Appeasement Division Commander and the Appeasement Envoy, to lead the army and station in Shunzhou.
At the same time, the Jin people also sent soldiers and horses to support, but at this time, batches of soldiers and horses appeared behind Wanyan Zongwang. Although their strength was not strong, they were annoyance to Wanyan Zongwang. .
At the same time, Du Chong's troops who came to support were directly blocked by Li Mida and Zhang Shuye. As for Jin Wushu, he didn't know where he was yet.
Wang Yan and Yang Weizhong urgently transferred back to the rear to take charge. All the frontline battles were handed over to the Yue Family Army under Yue Fei, while he rushed back with his troops and horses.
In this case, Niu Gao could only transfer back to the front line after completing his mission, leaving the partial division battlefield to Zhang Xian alone.
Of course, after much thought, Yue Fei decided to take a risk and transfer Wang Gui and Yang Zaixing who were staying behind at the same time.
Wang Gui and Niu Gao both supported the Daming County battlefield to suppress Wanyan Arubu and Wanyan Huonv. As for Yang Zaixing, he brought elite troops to support Zhang Xian.
With the support of Yang Zaixing, Zhang Xian also began to change his style of play. Instead of overwhelming the enemy with large forces, he switched to classic tactics.
Zhang Xian ordered his army to attack Shunzhou. He did not directly attack Yiyang County, which is governed by Shunzhou Prefecture. Instead, he surrounded Yiyang County and attacked several other places in Shunzhou, with the intention of surrounding it.
Liu Yu's soldiers and horses of the puppet Qi had already experienced a major defeat, with poor morale and insufficient combat power. They could only rely on their numerical advantage to bluff and pretend to be powerful in Yiyang County.
Now that he saw Zhang Xian bypassing Yiyang County, Liu Yu could only ask for reinforcements from the Jin people, hoping that they could stop him, but he did not dare to send troops directly.
Zhang Xian expected that this guy would have this idea, and directly led the army in a circle to avoid the Jin man. In the process, he handed over all his elite soldiers to the fierce general Yang Zaixing who came to support him.
He also asked Yang Zaixing to lead his soldiers and horses to bypass the pursuit of the Jin people and go straight to the Yiyang County area. He would first cut off all news exchanges around it, and then pretend to be Yiyang County soldiers and horses to conquer Changshui and other places.
The soldiers ordered the defeated troops in Changshui County to go to Yiyang to inform Liu Yu. At the same time, news came out that the Jin soldiers and horses had been defeated and surrounded by Zhang Xian, which made Liu Yu's men even more panicked.
Then he turned around and attacked Fuchang County. He first released Fuchang's soldiers and horses asking for reinforcements, and then followed up with a bluff so that the soldiers and horses in Fuchang County did not dare to move rashly.
Yang Zaixing arranged a straw man flag under the city and asked more than a hundred soldiers and horses to tie branches to their horses' tails. They moved in and out, causing dust to fly. The fierce drumming made the soldiers and horses in Fuchang County overwhelmed.
At this time, Yang Zaixing led his soldiers to disguise themselves as Fuchang's defeated army and fled to Yiyang.
The Changshui incident had already happened before, and the people seeking help from Fuchang were still in the city. Naturally, no one would doubt it, so they opened the city gate and let the only more than a hundred defeated troops enter the city.
And notified Liu Yu and others to come.
More than a hundred people were nothing in the eyes of the thousands of soldiers guarding the city, but among these more than a hundred people there was Yang Zaixing.
At the moment when the city gate opened, Yang Zaixing took the lead and charged forward. With a powerful force, he killed more than ten people in a row and occupied the city gate.
At the same time, the whistle sounded, the smoke rose, and the soldiers and horses waiting at the rear immediately launched a charge.
Although Yang Zaixing had a spear and few soldiers and horses, the city gate was not very spacious, so he was holding on to this area of the world.
After Liu Yu found out, he was furious and ordered all the crossbowmen to shoot first regardless of the enemy or ourselves. Fortunately, Yang Zaixing had already been prepared and held the prepared shield above his head to block the vital head.
At the same time, he is not stuck in a quagmire now, and he can travel freely and freely. The constant dodging and conflicts ensure his safety.
In the fight with a stick of incense, Yang Zaixing was hit by several arrows, but the city gate was still tightly held in his hands.
When the army rushed in, although he was unwilling, Liu Yu also knew that he could not hold Yiyang County. He had already seen the bravery of Yang Zaixing and the Yue Family Army.
With the soldiers and horses in his hands, he was really powerless.
"Evacuate!" The evacuation happened again, but the streets in the city were narrow and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered there. How could it be so easy to evacuate?
Liu Yu's troops gathered together, trampled on each other, crowded each other, and could not escape at all. The soldiers and horses in the rear who were responsible for breaking up the rear were completely unable to stop Yang Zaixing's attack.
During the First World War, Liu Yu's Qi soldiers trampled on each other and killed thousands of them. Liu Yu's Shunzhou Appeasement Division Commander and Appeasement Envoy were directly killed by Yang Zaixing.
Afterwards, he captured Yiyang County in one fell swoop and seized 20,000 shi of grain and grass.
In order for the subsequent war to go more smoothly, Yang Zaixing distributed these rations directly to the soldiers and the people, firstly to boost morale, but also to appease the people and stabilize the rear.
After that, Yang Zaixing immediately followed and chased Liu Yu. He fought and won in succession, driving Liu Yu hundreds of miles away. Corpses were everywhere along the way, and the mountains and plains where the defeated soldiers were walking were all over the place.
And with the help of this skill, Liu Yu also gave Yang Zaixing a big surprise.
During the pursuit, Yang Zaixing discovered Liu Yu's horse supervisor and captured as many as 10,000 war horses, which the Jin people gave to Liu Yu to expand his cavalry team.
As a result, Yang Zaixing took it away before it was warm enough to hold it in his hand.
At this moment, Liu Yu felt cold and Yang Zaixing became excited.
"The cavalry of my Yue family army is finally worthy of success."
Yang Zaixing pursued them all the way and conquered all the cities and lands. Then the other two counties in Shunzhou, Yongning County and Fuchang County, were also captured.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Zaixing turned around and drove the tens of thousands of horses he had just obtained to rush back to the rear. He joined Zhang Xian and used his horses to clear the way for the Jin people without hesitation.
The Jin people had not seen the momentum of thousands of horses galloping for many years. Now they were accidentally knocked over like this, and the army swept past.
Zhang Xianyang Zaixing attacked from both front and back, beheading one Jin captain of ten thousand men and three captains of ten thousand men. He defeated the Jin army and won another great victory.
In this battle, Zhang Xian and Yang Zaixing almost recaptured Shunzhou in the land of Yiluo. In addition, the entire territory of Shangzhou and parts of Guozhou that had been recaptured previously had basically completed Yue Fei's initial strategic deployment.
After receiving the battle report, Yue Fei immediately dispatched Xuanfu Division Staff Officer Xue Bi and Counselor Li Ruoxu to stay in Yiluo Land to stabilize the rear. At the same time, he dispatched Huang Zong and others to assist in handling civil affairs.
Zhao Ding immediately allocated food and supplies to calm down the victims and reported to the court to allocate supplies.
Yue Fei once again ordered Zhang Xian and Yang Zaixing to continue to Shandong Road without taking off their armor and horses to join Guo Yaoshi, Guan Sheng and others.
Their first battle was to attack Huaixi first, and then enter Caizhou to attack Shandong.
At the same time, Yue Fei's troops also launched the final attack on the Jin army in Daming Mansion, preparing to recapture Daming Mansion in one fell swoop and end the war.
At the critical moment, perhaps God did not bless the Song Dynasty, but Yue Fei, who was in good health, suddenly lay down.
I don't know if it was due to the fact that he refused to stop fighting for many years or if it was due to a hidden disease in his body. Yue Fei, who had always been strong and strong, suddenly couldn't see in his eyes, and he was almost blind.
This moment really frightened everyone.
Zhang Xian, Xue Bi, Li Ruoxu and others were completely absent. Fortunately, Wang Gui was transferred back to the army and took over the troops urgently.
But the difference in tactics between Wang Gui and Yue Fei was too big. Although Wang Gui could guarantee undefeated, it was still the opponent Wanyan Arubu who immediately discovered something was wrong.
"The Yue Family Army's fighting style has suddenly changed. How long has it been since Yue Fei showed up?"
In the Jin camp, Wanyan Alubu suddenly asked the ranger scouts on one side, while Wanyan Huonv on the other side was still a little worried.
"It's true that I haven't seen Yue Fei for a long time, but could it be some kind of plot by Song Jun himself?"
"If there is a conspiracy, there are always traces to be followed, but now it suddenly changed its style and turned all previous offenses into defenses. Although the commander is determined, he looks experienced.
But after all, he is too far behind Yue Fei. He is giving me a chance to breathe, but he is trying to lure the enemy deeper?
This change of his caused Liu Yu to have a chance to breathe when he and the troops behind him stopped attacking. If this style of fighting was to lure the enemy.
Then wouldn’t Yue Fei become a real fool? "
Wanyan A'lu had a sneer on his face and kept looking at the map in front of him, as if wondering what was going on here and what could be exploited.
"If it's not a ploy to lure the enemy, then maybe it's Yue Fei...it shouldn't be!"
"What shouldn't happen? Those who are fighting abroad are all injured and prepared to never come back again.
I heard that Yue Fei came out with Zhao Huan. He fought from the south to the north and from the east to the west for so many years. It would be a miracle if he didn't collapse after so many struggles.
He is also a human being. When he fell, there was no accident to a certain family, but they just didn’t know what state he had reached.
Starting today, all scouts and spies will go out to find out what happened to Yue Fei! "
"I will obey the order!"
The Jin people began to inquire continuously, but Yue Fei was blindfolded by white cloth at this time. Zhang Kuo personally rushed to the army to treat his eyes, but he sighed.
"This illness is not a serious illness, and the problem is not very serious. It is just the anger and fatigue caused by fighting in the battlefield all year round.
After slowly recuperating for a year and a half, it will be completely healed. "
Zhang Kuo was telling the truth, but everyone listening sighed just like him.
This is the time when the army is determined to forge ahead. It is about to penetrate Daming Mansion, regain Shandong and Hedong roads, stabilize its northern occupation, and recover large areas of lost territory.
At this time, Yue Fei rested for a year and a half... Isn't this nonsense!
"The general has already passed this news to Luoyang, and will then pass it to the Chang'an official's house via Luoyang. Brother, please go back to Kaifeng first."
Wang Gui also knew what Yue Fei's departure now meant to their Yue Family Army.
But there was nothing we could do at this time.
After Yue Fei was silent for a long time, he did not answer Wang Gui's words, but turned his head in the direction where the previous voice came from.
"Elder, can this disease kill someone in a certain family?"
"...That's not true, but you can't see it with your eyes. You can command the army and go into battle to fight..."
"Since you won't lose your life, it doesn't matter." Yue Fei laughed suddenly, "Wang Gui, from today on, you will be with a certain family and inform them of the battlefield trends, camp layout, and all details.
You say it, someone listens, someone says it, you do it!
A certain house is going to be blindly pointed today! "
"...Brother, think twice, I'll wait..."
"This is a great opportunity. We must not miss it. As long as we agree to this battle, we, the Song Dynasty, will have a few years of breathing space. This battle cannot be delayed any longer."
"Where is Mr. Dong!"
"The end will be here."
"The generals of the Jin people are not idle people. They must have discovered the problem during this period, and they will inquire about the situation of a certain family.
You find a suitable opportunity to pass the news on to them.
Be careful, do you understand? "
