Chapter 430 Fall short
,The first shot of the Song Dynasty
Soon the Yue family army advanced across the board and surrounded Kaifeng. On July 18, Zhang Xian, Xu Qing, Li Shan and other commanders led the main force from Linying County to the northeast, defeated the 5,000 Jin army and pursued for fifteen miles. At the same time, Yue Fei sent troops from Yingchang Prefecture, and Wang Gui also led the left army to advance.
Jin Wushu stationed in Zhuxian Town, forty-five miles southwest of Kaifeng, with an army of 100,000, and hoped to resist stubbornly again.
Yue's army headed north to Weishi County, forty-five miles away from Zhuxian Town, as a "winning place". Yue Yun led the 500 Beiwei cavalry of the Yue's army outpost to Zhuxian Town and met 5,000 Jin people's partial divisions. At one time, the two sides confronted each other, and the entire Jin army collapsed.
In the ninth year of Taiping Xingguo, Emperor Taizong of Song ordered "to dig 90 miles of Xinhe River in the boundary of Weishi County and finish it for several minutes", thus straightening the Xinhe River, making Zhuxianyi become a major water and land rush near Kaifeng because it is close to Cai River, and gradually thinks of becoming Zhuxian Town.
Two armies gathered here, and Zhang Xian and Wang Gui's two-wing army also arrived. Yue Fei took Yue Yun's Beiwei army as the vanguard and ordered Zhang Xian and Wang Gui to attack Jin Wushu's army from both sides.
After several days of battle between Song and Jin, Yue Yun almost had no rest and activated the Spotted Leopard Tie Hualiu to rush on the front line. With the fierce generals such as Zhang Xian, Wang Gui, and Xu Qing, the Jin people were killed and injured.
Jin Wushu also knew the power of this battle. He took the mountain lion camel and Jian Deli to fight to the death on the first front, and he was inseparable from the Song people.
At this time, Lu Junyi suddenly brought the army to join the battlefield. With Guan Sheng and Guan Ling and his son attacked each other, the formation of the Jin people suddenly dispersed.
Jian Deli brought people to stop him. When he met Lu Junyi, Jian Deli looked down on this old man at all. He urged the Camel to kill him. But he knew that Lu Junyi had already mastered the magic of shooting skills and had a few shots in a row. He was stabbed by a horse without any attention.
The Jin people could no longer resist it, and they fled with a loud bang. Yue Fei and Lu Junyi attacked each other in Zhuxian Town to break the Jin soldiers. Jin Wushu suffered losses and had to withdraw back to Kaifeng.
At this time, Jin Wushu had only one road left. He gave up Kaifeng Prefecture and was preparing to cross the Hebei River. When Jin Wushu was about to cross the Yellow River, a student from the Northern Song Dynasty asked to come in and said to Jin Wushu: "Don't leave the wolf master! The capital can be guarded! Yue Shaobao will retreat!"
Jin Wushu hurriedly asked, "Yue Shaobao defeated my elite troops with 500 cavalry and the capital was waiting for him day and night. What is it to be guarded?" The student said, "Otherwise, since ancient times, there have been no powerful ministers, and generals can make contributions to the outside world! Looking at it foolishly, Yue Shaobao is inseparable from disaster, let alone success?"
After being reminded by this person, Jin Wushu deeply agreed and decided to stop the river for the time being. He asked someone to meet Qin Hui and asked him to take action to get rid of Yue Fei.
Qin Hui had long been secretly planning the withdrawal of Yue Fei's troops. The important step they planned was to let Zhang Jun retreat from Jiangnan, Liu Qiyuan, who was stationed in Yingtian, transfer to Taipingzhou, Jiangnan, etc. All of this was to set Yue Fei in a situation where he was attacked from the side and had no help from the army.
Just when the great victory in Yancheng was reported to the court, Qin Hui colluded with Zhang Jun and Yang Yizhong, instigated and instigated the censor Luo Ruji to submit a memorial to Zhao Gou, saying: "There are few soldiers and few generals, and the people are trapped in the country. If Yue goes deeper, wouldn't it be dangerous? I hope your edict will be reduced and order the army to go." Emperor Gaozong then issued an edict, ordering Yue Fei to go to the army.
On July 18th, when Zhang Xian came from Linying to Kaifeng, the Song court sent an edict. Yue Fei wrote a letter to argue, saying: "The heavy troops of the Jin army gathered in Tokyo, and they suffered repeated defeats. They were depressed and shocked inside and outside. The spies heard of the spies wanted to abandon their baggage and cross the river. Moreover, the heroes are facing the wind, the soldiers use their lives, the heavens, the people and the people have seen their strengths and weaknesses, and the achievements are achieved. The time is not coming again, and the opportunity is difficult to lose. I have been familiar with the information day and night, but Your Majesty can only imagine it."
Two or three days later, the vanguard of the army had arrived in Zhuxian Town and Wanyan Wushu had escaped from Kaifeng, Qin Hui took the order and ordered people to spread the rumors that Yue Fei and Gao Chong were close friends and prepared to learn from Gao Chong to occupy Kaifeng and become independent.
Zhao Gou believed in his hearing and quickly ordered someone to recruit Yue Fei to return to the army. However, within one day, Yue Fei received twelve orders for the troops delivered in gold-shaped cards. The order was harsh: He ordered the army to start the troops immediately, and Yue Fei himself went to Lin'an to pay a visit.
After receiving such a ridiculous order, Yue Fei cried out indignantly: "Ten years of power will be destroyed!" However, under the high pressure of the imperial court, Yue Fei had to order the troops to go.
When the people heard the news, they stopped Yue Fei's horse and cried and said they were worried about the counterattack of the Jin soldiers: "We wear incense pots and transport food and grass to welcome the official army, and the Jin people know it. If my husband leaves, we will have no other qualities."
Yue Fei had no choice but to take the edict with tears in his eyes and show it to everyone, saying, "I will not stay without permission." So he cried and shocked the field. When the army retreated to Caizhou, the local people asked to act with the troops. Yue Fei finally decided to stay in the army for five days to protect the local people from moving to Xianghan.
The army led the army to Ezhou, and Yue Fei went to Lin'an to meet. Lu Junyi and others were alone and retreated to Jingdong, and Zhang Xian also returned to Daming Mansion.
When Jin Wushu heard that Yue Fei had left, he reorganized his army and captured the Henan area that was recovered by the Song army. However, his strength was severe and he did not dare to wait for a long time. He ordered Wanyan Nieer and Da Ta to station in Kaifeng and return north with his army.
When Yue Fei learned the bad news on the way to the army, he couldn't help but sigh to the sky: "All the counties you have obtained will be relieved! The country and the country will be difficult to revive! There is no way to restore the world of the universe!"
Yue Fei returned to the court and no longer made generous speeches like before. He just repeatedly begged the court to remove his military post and return to his land to live. Zhao Gou refused to allow it on the grounds that "there is no time to stop the war."
As soon as Jin Wushu left, Zhang Xian got a glimpse of the opportunity and contacted Lu Junyi from Jingdong again. The two discussed the army to attack together to capture Kaifeng and drive out the last Jin people team in the Central Plains.
Lu Junyi agreed deeply, so he wrote a letter to Gao Chong, who was still in Baozhou. Gao Chong summoned everyone to discuss the matter, and finally agreed to their application. So he ordered Lu Junyi to send troops to take Kaifeng directly, Zhang Xian led his troops to regain Luoyang and Jingxi Road where Zhengzhou was located. Han Shizhong from Hedong occupied Tongguan and was ready to advance eastward to help Zhang Xian fight.
The occupation of the Central Plains was just the beginning, and we had to think about how to defend it later. Gao Chong and Lu Junyi discussed with him and asked Guan Sheng and Guan Ling to establish the Wei De Army, which was affiliated with the East Road Army and stationed in Kaifeng.
Lu Junyi, Guan Sheng and Zhang Xian received the order and immediately started to act. Zhang Xian ordered Zhang Xiaochun and Hao Guang to guard the Daming Mansion, take Wei Sheng and Zhang Jie as the vanguard, and lead Ji Qian and other generals to lead 50,000 troops straight to the West Road of Jingxi.
Lu Junyi sent an army of 50,000 to Guan Sheng, and Guan Ling and his son asked them to leave Huazhou and then headed straight to Kaifeng.
The two young players Wei Sheng and Zhang Jie got a lot of prizes in the last battle, and this time they finally got the opportunity to lead the army alone. The two led the 5,000 vanguard troops all the way and arrived at the bank of the Yellow River.
Wei Sheng said to Zhang Jie: "The battle has just ended, and the Jin people would never have thought that we would attack them. This is a great opportunity for us to recover lost land. It is better to cross the river overnight to capture a certain county in Zhong."
Zhang Jieran said that he personally led 300 righteous men as the front-lift, crossed the Huai River overnight, and occupied Zhongmu County in one fell swoop. Wei Sheng followed the river and led a large army into Zhongmu County.
After occupying Zhongmu County, Wei Shengyan ordered his subordinates not to kill anyone without permission. He said to the people in the city: "Zhongmu was originally the territory of the Song Dynasty, and you were originally the people of the court. Since Jingkang was occupied by the Jin Dynasty, everyone has been ravaged by Jin captives.
My hometown was also here, because Du Chong broke through the Yellow River and became a refugee, I knew the pain of being a slave to the country. We are the army of the Kaiping King. I think you have heard of the lives of the people under the Kaiping Army. Don’t you want to join the Kaiping Army and regain lost territory with me?"
After hearing this, the people were extremely excited: "We dreamed of joining the Kaiping Army, and we had already tasted the taste of being slaves to the Jin people." At that time, hundreds of people joined Wei Sheng's army. With the support of the people of Zhongmu, Wei Sheng's army marched straight towards Zhengzhou.
The custodian of Zhengzhou was Gao Wenfu. When he heard that Wei Sheng had occupied Zhongmu, he sent troops to capture him. When he advanced to the Qianzu Mountain, which was far from Zhengzhou, he saw Wei Sheng waved his sword and took the lead. The other soldiers followed closely and rushed bravely.
Gao Wenfu quickly called his troops to resist, and the two armies rushed together. At this time, Zhang Jie brought the remaining troops to kill from behind. Zhang Jie was Gao Chong's personal disciple. Although his martial arts skills were not as good as the superb, he was also a first-class master. His big guns danced like flying, and the enemy killed was bleeding.
Gao Wenfu saw that he could not resist it, so he fled and retreated into Zhengzhou City. There were only a thousand people in Wei Sheng's army, and it was not possible to attack Xijing, which was defending tens of thousands of people.
So Wei Sheng ordered Zhang Jie to take some of the warriors to detour west, pretending to come from Tongguan, and ask his subordinates to raise flags on all sides of the city, and raise fireworks to make suspicious soldiers.
As a result, Gao Wenfu thought that Wei Sheng had many troops and was so scared that he closed the city gate. Although there were tens of thousands of soldiers, he still did not dare to go out to fight and drove the people to the city to defend the city for him.
After Wei Sheng saw this, he knew that this traitor was timid and unpopular, so he sent people to the gates of the city to promote to the people guarding the city: "The Jin people are not kind, Liu Yu and the others are unnamed to attack our country. You were originally all citizens of the Song Dynasty. King Kaiping thought that you were suffering from the Jin people's destruction, so he sent us here to liberate the people, recover lost land, and punish spies. You can open the city gates quickly and help us capture the high thieves together. The loyal and righteous army will never disturb the people."
The people who were forced to defend the city were happy to come from the sky, and immediately opened the city gate to welcome Wei Sheng, and automatically acted as a guide, launching an attack on the prefecture. Gao Wenfu and his son Gao Anren led more than a thousand soldiers to resist and resisted stubbornly.
Wei Sheng sent dozens of brave men to climb the wall, and he led his troops to fight Gao Anren in Qiaomen. The warriors of Kaiping Army defeated one and eliminated Gao Anren and his minions. Zhang Jie quickly broke through the defense and rushed into the government office to capture Gao Wenfu, the prefect of the pseudo-Qi, alive.
