After Caizhou was captured, many soldiers under Yue Fei's command took a short rest, and then led their troops and horses to continue the charge.
At this time, Yue Fei also felt waves of fatigue, perhaps because he couldn't see it, and everything required more brain power to guess.
Under this kind of offensive, although Yue Fei fought consecutively, his physical strength was also greatly consumed.
After setting off from Caizhou, Yue Fei rushed all the way to Huiqu in the north, caught up with the Jin people in Huiqu City, and then after a burst of charging, he took advantage of the situation and broke through the not-so-tightly defended Huiqu City.
Following the army, they immediately turned east and headed directly towards Chenzhou. At the same time, entering Chenzhou was considered to have entered the Shandong Road portal.
Jin Wushu and Yue Fei completely parted ways here.
Jin Wushu did not choose to enter Shandong Road, but directly bypassed Damingfu from another road and turned around to Hebei Road to meet Wanyan Zongwang.
Yue Fei contacted Yaoshi Guo of Shandong Road and started a counterattack against the Jin people of Shandong Road.
Shandong Road included Qingzhou and other places in those days. Although it has a vast territory with many famous mountains and rivers, it is still mainly composed of plains.
Therefore, on Shandong Road, although Yaoshi Guo was at every step of the way, he had excellent troops and horses, and there was a lot of help, including Guan Sheng, a veteran of Jinan Prefecture and a person with deep prestige.
The main reason why Yaoshi Guo still failed to achieve victory.
Because... Shandong Road has too great an advantage for the Jinren.
When Yue Fei and others saw Yao Shi Guo again, Yao Zheng, the guy in charge of delivering the message, was stunned by Yao Shi Guo's appearance.
The old, strong and majestic Governor of Yanyun, Guo Yaoshi, is now showing his age.
Although the whole person cannot be said to be hunched over and full of white hair, it can still be said to be tired and old that can be seen with the naked eye.
"Pengju's eyes..." Pharmacist Guo couldn't help being shocked when he saw Yue Fei's eyes covered with white cloth. He didn't know what happened to Yue Fei's body.
“It’s nothing, it’s just a slight eye problem, it’s enough to take care of it slowly.
It can take as long as one year, or as short as eight months, and it will get better after resting for a long time. "
After Yue Fei finished speaking, he also heard Yaoshi Guo's question.
"The old general's voice sounds very tired."
"Ha..." Pharmacist Guo couldn't help laughing, still extraordinarily heroic, "The Shandong war situation has not been resolved until now. I feel ashamed of the court and the officials.
So I couldn't sleep and seemed a little tired. "
Pharmacist Guo didn't really start complaining directly. Instead, he pretended to be relaxed and said helpless words.
"That Wanyan Alibu is not a capable person at all. I know that this guy was just a deputy general who followed Nianhan and the others.
He has some qualifications and some abilities, but he is quite decent and not considered a big shot.
It's just that this guy is also very safe in fighting, not giving me any chance, occupying the plains and constantly harassing and attacking with cavalry, and he will not guard the city honestly.
Even if I keep moving around with the 20,000 cavalry and defend the city with the soldiers and horses left by Liu Yu, I will not be given a chance to divide them into equal parts.
If I attack the city, he will use cavalry to disturb our rear, cut off our food routes, and finally use cavalry to harass us day and night.
Although I also have some cavalry under my command, the number is far inferior to them, so I can only say that I am helpless. "
Pharmacist Guo's face was full of helplessness. Although Yue Fei couldn't see it, he could still feel the depression.
"How did the old general respond?"
"King Yun came up with a plan, and I set up barricades on Shandong Road. Although it cost a lot of money and the process was slow, it also continuously compressed the space of the plain, making it impossible for them to travel freely.
It’s just that this matter is too expensive and time-consuming... ugh! "
Yue Fei just nodded slightly, but did not refute.
"If we are dealing with the cavalry, this is indeed the best way to compress the cavalry's space and force him out of Shandong Road. I think the official will understand."
"If Pengju can say that, it makes me feel relieved, hahaha..."
After the two exchanged pleasantries for a long time, they joined forces and headed towards the hinterland of Shandong Road. Now Guo Yaoshi had recovered most of the land on Shandong Road, and the front line was handed over to King Yun Zhao Kai and General Guan Sheng and others.
Pharmacist Guo is now engaged in construction with peace of mind.
When night fell and everyone set up camp, Niugao, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and others under Yue Fei also came to Yue Fei's camp to discuss matters.
"This old guy is still so cunning. I really don't know whether to say that he does things flawlessly or that he has a treacherous mind."
Zhang Xian, who had also participated in the Battle of Yanyun, also knew Pharmacist Guo very well, and he really had no scruples in what he said. Niu Gao and Yang Zaixing were a little shocked when they heard this.
I thought there was some grudge between Yue Jiajun and Pharmacist Guo.
"Don't talk nonsense, you guy. Be careful if these words get out. Although the old general doesn't care about this kind of thing." Yue Fei still had a serious face at first, but he became much more relaxed later on.
"I'm afraid you have also noticed that General Guo's words are a bit convoluted, as if he is trying to shirk something, but in fact this is normal.
To be fair, the old general was a subordinated general after all, and he was the late emperor's confidant. Although the old general had no feelings for the late emperor, it was inevitable that the old general would be worried about this matter.
He is old and can still continue to lead troops and even fight abroad, so it is reasonable to be cautious.
At such an age and having experienced so many things, one cannot expect too much from the old general.
King Yun and the Guan family are brothers, so naturally they don't care. The old general led the army on Shandong Road. As a result, he faced a small Wanyan Alibu for a long time but failed to defeat him and completely take back Shandong Road. land.
It's inevitable to feel worried, so don't say anything more. "
Yue Fei explained to Pharmacist Guo, and also told Niu Gao and others that they had a good relationship, so that they could rest assured about their worries.
"But what should we expect in this situation now? We need all the cavalry under our command to be dispatched. We still have a lot of war horses in our army. If we rely on fighting to support fighting, we can also piece together an army of thousands of people in a short period of time. The cavalry came out.
But if this Shandong Road is really what the old general said, then I'm afraid we can only continue to extend it according to the old general's previous approach. "
Zhang Xian chuckled and then returned to the topic.
Several other people looked helpless after hearing this, and this was where they felt they were in trouble.
"This is what the golden man did." Yue Fei suddenly said, "Before, someone was still wondering what the golden man wanted to do and why he suddenly became like this.
It wasn't until General Guo learned about the situation on Shandong Road that a certain family finally understood it.
The golden people are about to start procrastinating.
Let’s talk about the Shandong Road first. In fact, this is not a problem, because Wanyan Zongwang no longer has the power to make progress, and besides being attacked by our army from the front, there are still many rebels in the rear.
Under this situation, even if he has great abilities, there is nothing he can do. Evacuation is only a matter of time.
Without Wanyan Zongwang's help, the remaining troops would not be able to make any waves.
Whether it's Hedong Road or Shandong Road, I'm just thinking about when to retreat to Hebei Road and Yanyun.
The time for our army to regain the Central Plains and two wings is approaching.
The reason why they didn't leave is to force us to start restraining them with barracks and forts like General Guo. "
"Could it be that the general drank too much, so the Jin people can still be so stupid?" Yang Zaixing couldn't help laughing, "Their ability to dominate the world depends on the strength of the cavalry.
If they take the initiative to expose their flaws, wouldn't they be destroyed by us in an instant? "
In Yang Zaixing's view, the Jin people were simply digging their own graves.
But what Yue Fei said next made him suddenly feel that it was really open to question who the grave was dug for.
"How many Yingzhaiwu Forts do you think the Song Dynasty can support?"
The method is a good one, and it is not a novel thing, but... this thing has never really appeared before.
It’s not that people are stupid, it’s that the cost is quite high!
“A camp needs to be close to mountains and rivers, close to mountains and forests, so that materials can be easily obtained and life can be convenient. trenches must be arranged outside, and many traps, antlers, etc. must be arranged.
In addition, walls, stables, grain storage, etc. all cost a lot.
A camp doesn't look like much, that's because we naturally took our things with us when we left.
But now, we have to set up camps in various places.
Even if it is a simpler camp a hundred miles away, you can calculate how much wood, stone and supplies we need.
Of course, in terms of the camp, the officials have already had this idea in the early years and have some methods. We can reduce the phone bill a lot.
But what about people?
Do soldiers and horses need to be stationed in this camp? There are 1,000 people in a camp, food and drink for 1,000 people, and how many people are needed to allocate and operate the baggage that is not close to a water source?
Their food and wages, the food and drink of the corvee, do you think these are brought by the strong wind?
Even if it is half-farming and half-fighting, with a large number of soldiers in the camp farming by themselves, it only requires hundreds of elite cavalry to roam and loot before the harvest.
How about this food?
If food is grown in the camp, the size of the camp will be...
Even if the Song Dynasty has regained a lot of its vitality, how much layout does Shandong Road and Hedong Road need in the current situation?
How many places need to be arranged in various places in the Central Plains?
And don’t forget that Wanyan Zongwang has already repaired part of the Yellow River channel and attracted many refugees.
Once they go to Hebei Province, should we still say that we don't care about them?
Once you enter Hebei Road... The plains of Hebei and Hebei Road are more than thousands of miles away. The Yellow River Basin alone will tear apart the bones of the official family.
We can’t get that many out!
But if you arrange some parts and let others go, don't forget that sentence.
Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality…”
