The Yue Family Army quickly assembled, and Liu Qi had already begun to erect beacon towers along the way.
At the same time, after asking Zhao Huan for an order, he immediately started to publish lists in various places. He would break Mongolia into pieces, and Liu Qi would treat him in his own way.
He promised a huge reward. Anyone who saw the Mongolian cavalry and lit the beacon fire would receive a reward of one hundred dollars. If anyone held back, he would kill the Mongolian cavalry.
If you kill a person, you will not be rewarded with money, but you will get ten acres of land, and you will be given three draws per hundred!
This price and tax rate can definitely make everyone excited.
Under such circumstances, more and more Xixia people began to learn to take desperate risks. Of course, the reason why Liu Qi dared to do this was because he grasped the current pain points of Xixia.
Xixia, which had just escaped from the Liang family, was having a really hard time.
To be disrespectful, he is really on par with the people of the Song Dynasty who followed Zhao Ji back then.
So in this situation, given this price, this is no longer a battle between the Mongols and the Song Dynasty. The wolf smoke began to appear continuously, and according to the wolf smoke began to adjust the direction, encirclement and encirclement, a group of people were surrounded. The Mongolian cavalry who came in by name killed them.
In this case, the Mongolian generals who knew that nothing could be done could only leave with their troops and horses, and evacuate here before making preparations.
In the following days, Liu Qi steadily guarded the Great Wall's defense line, and at the same time began to continuously repair the dilapidated Great Wall.
Wu Jie also came to Xingqing Mansion with a sick body.
When Zhao Huan learned about Wu Jie's physical condition, he immediately asked the famous doctors from Tai Hospital around him to go. These people were responsible for solving the Xixia plague.
But Wu Jie refused.
"The general's body is suffering from old injuries, and even with the famous doctor at his side, he is just lingering. Now that the epidemic is about to occur in the world, now is the time for Your Majesty to employ people.
Never destroy the world just because of one general.
At the end of the day, I will definitely do my best to defeat the enemy first. I also hope that your majesty will stabilize Xixia and the land of Liangzhou will return to our territory of the Song Dynasty as soon as possible. "
Although the words on the letter were still vigorous and powerful, from the lines of the words, Zhao Huan, who was already past middle age, felt a heavy sense of death from them.
"General Wu Jie...Hey."
At this time, Zhao Huan did not express too much emotion, but just accelerated his process. He still had many things to do, and everything was equally important.
Everything was for the Song Dynasty and for the Han people.
Beyond the river, on the vast grassland, the Yue family troops were ready to march again. At the front was Kou Cheng's cavalry, and the vanguard was Yang Zaixing.
Zhang Xian is still the main force behind it. Although he failed to completely conquer Xingqing Mansion, Zhang Xian still has excellent strength. This "failure" does not mean anything.
In the rear were Wang Gui of the central army and Wang Jing of the rear army. On the left and right were Niu Gao and Xu Qing.
In the previous battle of Xixia Mansion, Xu Qing used Meng Bangjie to lure the enemy deeper and directly lead the Xixia army into an ambush. In one battle, he eliminated nearly 30% of the main force of the Xixia army.
It played a decisive role in Wang Gui's subsequent stability, and it was this battle that allowed him to secure his position as the third general of the Yue Family Army.
His status is only lower than Zhang Xian and Wang Gui, but still higher than Niu Gao.
As for why Yue Fei and Yue Yun were not counted... some blind person felt that his life in the Yue Family Army was too enriching and he had to find some stimulation for himself?
This formation is very appropriate, but it is just appropriate.
There is no sharp offensive end or dexterous backhand. The army as a whole is full of stability.
This is the formation that Yue Fei specially prepared for the Mongolian cavalry and the leader of the Mongolian Kingdom, Hebul Khan.
But is this enough?
Of course not enough!
"General, Mr. Dong has sent word that Hebule is determined not to fight with us. There are cavalry roaming outside all the time, but they just won't fight with us."
Zhang Xian's deputy general Wang Jun came running up on horseback and informed Yue Fei of the news. He also asked Yue Fei what they should do now.
"Move on and don't worry!"
Yue Fei's words made Wang Jun feel a little entangled in his heart, but he didn't say anything more. He just put all his thoughts in his heart.
But how can there be no intelligent and discerning people in the Yue family's army?
Others may have seen it but didn't say anything more. Huang Zong was a staff member of the Yue Family Army and a confidant of Yue Fei. At this time, watching Wang Jun's leaving figure, he came to Yue Fei's side and whispered.
"General, sometimes you have to be too kind."
This sentence is no longer implicit, it can even be said to be a clear statement telling Yue Fei to be careful about the people around him.
And Yue Fei naturally understood, and just shook his head slightly.
"Now is the time to employ people. Although these people have more or less problems,... they are either brave or good at fighting.
Don't lose the hearts of all the soldiers! "
Yue Fei's words made Huang Zong open his mouth slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just bowed and retreated.
The Yue Family Army has become stronger and stronger over the years, and their reputation has naturally grown.
However, the Yue family's army, which has strict military discipline, also has too many unstable factors.
They are all warriors, to put it harshly, not to mention that the Song Dynasty does not pay attention to Confucian etiquette, justice and integrity, even if it pays attention to it, I am afraid they will not care much.
Drinkers, lustful people, and money-loving people abound.
Even Yue Fei's younger brother was almost killed because of this incident, and he is still carrying the banner in the vanguard.
Under this situation, all the current combat power of the Yue Family Army relies on Yue Fei's big heart to bring them together. He cannot attack his own people, and of course he will not attack his own people.
As for this battle, Yue Fei naturally had his own plans.
The army is still moving forward and deepening, and even Yue Fei's direction is not straight and deep, placing himself in front of the Mongolian army.
It seemed that they were waiting for the Mongolian army to turn into wolves and bite them.
But Hebule is also like a cunning wolf king, he is also waiting for the opportunity.
At this time, the Mongolian army had left the city and camp, and began to wander on the grassland. It was neither far nor close to the Yue Family Army. All the rangers were patrolling around the Yue Family Army.
It's just that his avoidance of fighting made everyone around him feel uncomfortable.
Especially the brother who suffered a big loss at the hands of Yue Fei not long ago, the leader of the Taichiwu tribe, I Bahai.
"If the ruler of the country does not dare to fight Yue Fei again, why not let me go? Ba'ai is never afraid of enemies, and the Taichiwu tribe will not be afraid of any enemy who stands in front of us!"
Anbahai, who was quite brave, looked like he wanted to fight Yue Fei to the death for revenge, and couldn't help but chuckle.
I like this brother because of his spirit.
Although he is a little reckless, and although his brain is not as good as his own, what Mongolia needs now is such a man who will never admit defeat.
"The Taichiwu tribe is one of our most brave and capable tribes. The warriors of the Taichiwu tribe are men who are not afraid of death. I, Hebule, naturally know this.
But now, we cannot let them fight each other to the death just because of your bravery.
This group of Song people are eager to fight us because they are short of food and grass. If they persist, they will definitely evacuate their army back to their homeland..."
"Why do they have to evacuate? If they stick to the Great Wall, it will be the same as now, but we will be helpless?"
"Of course it's different. Xixia doesn't have the food and grass expenses for their troops of more than ten or two hundred thousand to eat and drink. The place they want to occupy has vast land and sufficient population.
But there was not enough food.
We received most of the rations brought by Li Qianshun's diligent administration, and we had countless cattle and sheep on the grassland.
But the people of Song Dynasty did not. They wanted to appease the people and support the soldiers. At least within two years, the Song Dynasty would have to allocate grain and grass to support them.
There were often tens of thousands of corvees escorted and recruited along the way, and the food and grass would eat them up.
Only by transferring a large number of soldiers back can they be able to sustain it.
But once they mobilize a large number of troops and horses, they will not be able to withstand the Great Wall defense line, and this place will still be constantly harassed by us.
Those people can't farm with peace of mind, and they will be held back here.
Therefore, if we want to hold on to the land they took away, we must prevent our strength from easily competing with them. This requires a decisive battle.
And as long as we don't give them this opportunity, it can take as little as three months or as much as half a year to make them unable to persist.
When the main force of the Song Army withdraws, we have nothing to worry about. In the future, wherever the Song Army is located, we will harass it.
Not only do we want to attack Xingqing Mansion, not only do we want to attack Xiazhou, we also want to attack Song Dynasty and let their land become our horse herding land.
This is what we should do! "
Hebule rode back and forth, shouting his plans. He didn't mind letting the Song people know about these things. He just wanted to tell Yue Fei that he, Hebule, was not that brainless guy.
He just wants to delay it until the Song people can no longer hold on.
All of this was within Hebule's plan, but there were a few things outside of his plan.
For example, Yue Fei's plan.
"It should be almost time. By this time, that damn liar should have found Li Qianshun's remaining troops, and Zhu Fu should also have found that Duoyou.
Xiao Heda's people are almost ready, and the only thing left is to encircle..."
Yue Fei looked at the soldiers under his command who were busy building the camp, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.
The middle-aged scribe next to him also showed a smile.
Bowed to Yue Fei and saluted.
"General Yue used himself as bait and marched slowly. The first battle was the decisive battle. I'm afraid even Nahebul couldn't believe it.
Guo Yong, I admire you! "
"This first battle is the decisive battle. I learned it from the Mongols. Since they know it, we can't lag behind others.
Let all the ministries prepare. In the next half month, I will lead them into the decisive battle. "
"promise!"
