"Rumble! Rumble! - Wow! Wow!"
…………
The clouds were thick and the sun was not visible. A full half month had passed. The rain never stopped for a moment, but sometimes it was heavy and sometimes light, and sometimes thunder and lightning were intertwined. It was as if the sky that Nuwa Empress had repaired had been leaked again!
The water levels of the Han River, Fujiang River, Tuojiang River, Jialing River... the water levels of large and small rivers have skyrocketed, like roaring dragons, galloping wantonly across the land of Yizhou, destroying countless bridges, sweeping away villages, houses, and farmland on both sides of the river... …
Fortunately, the people of Yizhou have had experience for thousands of years. Before the rainy season, they took their wives, children, and children, leading cattle, driving sheep, holding chickens and ducks... and ran to the high slopes to take shelter. Therefore, The loss of personnel and property was not significant.
Just waiting for the rain to clear up, they will return to their homes, rebuild their houses, cultivate the land, and continue to thrive. The fields washed away by the floods will leave a lot of sludge, making them more fertile. , crops will grow vigorously in the coming year.
Under the heavy rain, the whole world seemed to have a gloomy color, but there was an atmosphere of excitement everywhere in the Jin army camp.
"Well done, Deputy Governor Wu!"
News of Wu Qi's battle quickly spread to Chengdu and Li Jing's camp.
Needless to say, in Chengdu, many people couldn't sit still after hearing this news. Many people originally only had the germination of some small ideas, but now they began to take root.
However, these people really couldn't defeat Liu Che. Liu Che seduced them a lot and served as a warning to others.
Some people had been tested before, and this time, these people were even more impatient. Naturally, it was impossible for Liu Che to hold back.
After hearing the news, the atmosphere in Li Jing Camp became more relaxed and pleasant.
Li Jing's victory in the Battle of Hanzhong can indeed be said to be fruitful. He successfully captured the entire land of Hanzhong before Zhou Yafu's reinforcements arrived, and captured all of Hanzhong's 100,000 defenders in one go. Beheading beheading.
Moreover, Dai Tuo, Zhufu Yan, Yang Jian, Yu Da, Yu Guang, Yu De, Zhang Xun and other civil and military officials were all killed by the Jin army in this battle.
Chen Qingzhi was forced to lay down his weapons and surrender to the Jin army. Half of the white-robed army, which was regarded as the strongest elite of the Shu army, perished in this battle, and the remaining half followed Chen Qingzhi to surrender. into the arms of the Jin army.
Although it is inevitable that the Jin army's losses in this battle are indeed regrettable, compared with these gains, these losses are definitely worth it.
In Wu Qi's battle, the Warring States Period was also fruitful. Although the superficial results were not as good as Li Jing's side, their inner significance was the same.
First, after conquering Jiangzhou City, the Jin army's frontline was not far from Chengdu and could already pose a real threat to Chengdu.
If Jingnan hadn't been in control, when Jiangzhou City was breached, it would actually have been more appropriate to take Wu Qi's route as the main attack direction.
Unfortunately, Jingnan is no longer under the control of the Jin army after all. At this time, it would not be appropriate to choose Wu Qi's direction as the main attack.
Secondly, although Wu Qi's plan was only half successful, it was equivalent to expelling Xu Shiji from Yizhou. Without this one of the best generals in Yizhou, their next battle would undoubtedly be Much more relaxed.
Not to mention, this battle was not only equivalent to expelling Xu Shiji from Yizhou, but also the other strong generals in the army with Xu Shiji were also expelled from Yizhou.
Of course, they are going to feel relaxed, but Yue Fei is going to cry. Originally, Yue Fei's side was under great pressure, but after Wu Qi's troubles, his plan was not completely successful, and the pressure was also transferred to Yue Fei's side.
Of course, by placing Yue Fei in the position of Jingbei, Li Xiang certainly has enough confidence in him. Letting Yue Fei preside over today's battle had already been planned as early as the battle of Jingbei. Otherwise, the one used to attack Jingbei that day would not have been the famous general Yue Fei, but other famous generals.
Looking at the top generals under Li Xiang, Yue Fei may not be the one with the strongest comprehensive ability, but if we talk about the ability to fight tough battles, then Yue Fei is worthy of being ranked first.
In fact, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Han army in the Central Plains had almost no decent victories in field battles with the northern nomads. Only Chai Rong fought well, and was basically beaten badly by the Liao and Xixia.
But Yue Fei was extremely good at field battles. He fought more than 200 battles in his life, mainly in field battles, and won almost all of them. This is quite an achievement.
Especially the later Battle of Yancheng, including Liu Ji's victory at Shunchang, these were head-to-head battles with the Jurchens.
In the Song Dynasty, Wu Jie's great victories such as Xianrenguan and Monk Yuan, including Yu Yunwen's later Caishi victory, were all victories based on defensive warfare plus sneak attacks, which were different from Yue Fei's field battles.
The end of Yue Fei almost announced the end of the victory of the field battle between the Han people and the northern nomads.
In the following hundreds of years of history, whether the Mongols invaded or the Manchus entered the country, the Han people were almost unable to win in regular field battles. (When Xu Da and others destroyed the Yuan Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty, the Yuan Empire had collapsed. After fleeing to the north, it split into many tribes. The situation of many major victories achieved at that time was different).
Even by the end of the Ming Dynasty, a group of more than a hundred Jurchen cavalry could defeat thousands of Ming army cavalry. Hong Chengchou commanded an army of 130,000 people to confront Huang Taiji. Wu Sangui and other troops fled without fighting. In the end, Hong Chengchou was surrounded and captured.
This point alone demonstrates Yue Fei's ability to fight tough battles.
Moreover, not only Yue Fei himself is good at fighting tough battles, but the soldiers he trained are also good at fighting tough battles.
It’s easy to shake a mountain, but it’s hard to shake the Yue family’s army!
"If you freeze to death, don't demolish your house; if you starve to death, don't plunder."
These similar comments all reflect the quality of Yue Jiajun.
Although the Qin and Han armies were strong, they lacked a founder like Yue Fei. This was the result of the efforts of many people, and it is difficult to attribute the credit to an obvious person like Yue Fei.
In terms of training soldiers, Yue Fei is also at the forefront among the ranks of top generals.
Among the 200,000 Jingzhou troops, even those who have been with Yue Fei for the shortest time have only been two or three years old. These were basically formed after the Jingbei War.
Those who have been with Yue Fei for a longer period of time may have been five or six years, or even seven or eight years.
In a position like Jingbei that is destined to bear huge pressure, among the top famous generals under Li Xiang, Yue Fei is indeed the most suitable candidate.
