Chapter 84 annexation

An error occurred while processing s private files

In mid-February, the Central Plains battlefield suffered consecutive defeats. Yue Fei was defeated again in Banqiao. Chu Xiaoyao was defeated in Yangqiao Town. Yang Keshi was defeated in Luguan Town. Lin Chong and Luo Lan led their troops to attack and kill sixty miles away from Bianjing City, but due to lack of support, they had to withdraw quickly.

The Jin army won many battles, and its selection army even reached Xingyang, only two hundred miles away from Luoyang. Luoyang was shocked.

On February 20, Li Hu personally rushed to the front line to command the battle.

On the 22nd, Grand Marshal Li Hu arrived in Xingyang, and the generals of the various army rushed to the headquarters to pay their respects.

Li Hu scolded Yue Fei and Chu Xiaoyao in front of the generals. Yang Keshi and others were furious when they saw Li Hu Lei Ting. They were silent and drooped their heads and hummed. The greater the power, the stronger the strength, and the power was also very terrifying. Li Hu was still the same Li Hu, but today's Li Hu was already incomparable to the past vassal king. Even if he sat there without saying a word, he was majestic and terrifying.

Chai Yun and Yuanye, who accompanied Li Hu to fight, felt that Li Hu was a little out of control and spoke too heavily, which was not conducive to boosting morale. So they winked each other and planned to ease up.

The murderous atmosphere in the tent of the commander.

"Bianjing was besieged, and the battlefield in the Central Plains has repeatedly lost profits. The court was under heavy pressure, and the general was even more anxious. Please understand."

Taking advantage of Li Hu's breathing, Chai Yun stood up and decisively interrupted Li Hu's reprimand, "Now, please tell everyone about the current situation."

Yuanye is now the chief minister of the Grand Marshal's Mansion. He has a high position and is in power. Without waiting for Li Hu to react, he talks endlessly before he walks to the map. The situation is indeed very bad, and the only way to reverse the situation is to defend Bianjing, use Bianjing to drag the main force of the Jin army on the battlefield of the Central Plains, and then find a way to defeat the Jin army under the city of Bianjing.

"After the Jin army surrounded Bianjing, they first defeated our Luoyang and Nanjing with their main force. The two reinforcements later launched a siege war. However, Bianjing's defense was strong. The Jin army's attack was frustrated. Then they surrounded but did not attack. While plundering the periphery of Bianjing, they attacked and killed our rescue army." Yuanye said, "It is obvious that the Jin army planned to trap Bianjing. The military and civilians in Bianjing City combined exceeded one million, which consumed a lot. Without reinforcements outside, they could not hold on for a few months."

"The Jin army has another purpose, which is to use Bian Jing as bait to drag the main force of our Tiger and Lieutenant Army to the Central Plains battlefield for a decisive battle." The Yuanye fingered Datong and Taiyuan on the map, "The main force of our Tiger and Lieutenant Army is here. If we go south, the defensive power of Datong and Taiyuan will be weakened. Once we are defeated in the Central Plains, we can only abandon Datong and Taiyuan and defend Guanluo to the death. In this way, the Jin army will completely occupy the north of the Yellow River."

After Yuanye finished speaking, Chai Yun immediately took it, "Director Yue, Dudu, and others, you are familiar with the Central Plains battlefield and talk about your strategies to attack the enemy."

Nothing is useful. If you want to defeat the Jin army and protect Bianjing, the only way is to increase your troops, which is to conquer the main force of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army from Hedong to support it.

"At present, there are the fifth, eighth, ninth, and tenth troops in the Central Plains battlefield, including the Northwest Army, Hebei Army, and Yanshan Army, with a total force of more than 80,000." Yue Fei frowned and looked helpless. "More than 80,000 troops can be guarded Luoyang, but it is too difficult to defeat the Jin army. If you can defend Bianjing now, you will be counting on Zongliu and his 40,000 Hebei rebels."

"You guess how long can the Zong stay in the back?" Chai Yun asked.

"Now the Jin army surrounded Bianjing so that we could not transport food and grass into the city." Yue Fei shook his head and sighed, "If the population in the city exceeds one million, if there is no food and grass support, we can hold on for at most two or three months."

Li Hu was as heart-warming as lead. Bian Jing must defend it. Whether this battle can be won depends on this bait. If Bian Jing cannot hold on until the scheduled time, or the Jin army launched a fierce attack when Bian Jing was in danger and captured Bian Jing, then even if this battle was successfully implemented according to the original plan, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army might not be able to recapture the Central Plains, let alone severely damage the Jin army.

"The problem I worry most now is that the Jin army once again attacked Bianjing." Yue Fei said, "If Liu Yu and Qian Dinggong's rebels arrived in Bianjing and the Jin army took them as the main force of the attack, the battle situation would be very unfavorable to us."

Everyone in the tent understood this. Yue Fei hoped that Li Hu would transfer reinforcements from Hedong to the south as soon as possible.

"I have ordered the transfer of Wu from the northwest? Zhang Jun and other generals to the Central Plains battlefield." Li Hu said, "The 10th Army of Huliu, Northwest Army, Hebei Army, and Yanshan Army have more than 50,000 people in total, but the organization is very chaotic and not conducive to combat.

On-site reorganization, the eleventh, twelve, thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth army.”

The tent suddenly became quiet, and some of the generals were stunned, some were confused, and some were angry.

Yue Fei's 10th Hu Lie Army had more than 20,000 people, all from the Hebei Rebel Army. They were all elite soldiers after the bloody battle. Although their combat effectiveness could not be compared with the Hu Lie Army, these soldiers could be very useful by using war instead of training. Yue Fei has heavy troops, and his subordinates are either fellow villagers or with deep feelings. This army is actually the Yue family army. When the war was most tense, Li Hu suddenly ordered the army to be dispersed and disrupted, which would definitely affect the morale and combat effectiveness. This seemed to be a bit over the horse.

Yue Fei understood Li Hu's purpose and had no objection, but Wang Gui, Liu Gao, Liang Xing and others could not accept it for the time being, thinking that Li Hu was worried that Yue Fei would be respectful, so he took this opportunity to weaken Yue Fei's strength.

Han Shizhong's Hebei Army was also formed on the basis of the Hebei Rebel Army, including the Sanzhen Rebel Army from Yue Fei and the Handan Rebel Army from Zong Ze. The combat effectiveness itself is limited, but Han Shizhong is very confused. The reorganization of the army is all subject to Li Hu. This is beyond reproach, but the timing is wrong. The war is so tense now, so how can I have time

Reorganized army? Could it be that Li Hu wants to shrink his defense, defend Luoyang to the death, and abandon Bianjing?

Yang Keshi, Yang Weizhong, Yang Zhi and a group of Northwest generals knew that Li Hu wanted to take this rare opportunity to annex this Northwest Army, but they had no choice but to watch more than 20,000 Northwest soldiers turn into Tiger Martyrs.

Yang Keshi looked cold. Although he tried his best to restrain his emotions, the anger in his eyes could not be concealed. "Master, wars are constantly happening at this moment, and hasty reorganization of the army can only disrupt the morale of the army, which is not conducive to reversing the current situation."

"The war continues?" Li Hu sneered, "You can still fight like this? How many more do you plan to lose? Will you keep fighting the army?"

"It is indeed inappropriate to consolidate the army now." Yang Weizhong couldn't help it, "Master, the military and civilians of Bianjing are waiting for reinforcements day and night, hoping that the Master can lead the army to defeat the Jin thieves, but now we will be wasting time, affecting the morale of the army, and the rescue is even more endless."

"Rescue? What kind of rescue? You have been defeated repeatedly, and I will be able to turn the tide when I come? Even if I have a plan to break the enemy, I will still want you to implement it and lead the army.

Go and fight, but can you defeat the Jin thieves? I will take Banqiao and break through the periphery of Bianjing. Can you do it?" Li Hu stared at Yang Keshi, Yang Weizhong and other northwestern generals and asked sternly.

The tent became quiet again. Although the generals in the northwest were resentful, no one dared to take Li Hu's words. On the battlefield, they rely on strength. Without strength, they can only be slaughtered by others and have no choice but to be slaughtered.

"Reorganize the army immediately, and then reorganize the army in Xingyang." Li Hu slapped the desk with his palm and said loudly, "I will give you a month. In this month, don't fight, just reorganize the army, train, and don't do other things."

Seeing that the generals looked different, most of them could not understand Li Hu's intentions, Chai Yun stood up and said, "From the current situation, the Jin army will not attack Bianjing for the time being, but will use the surround Bianjing as bait to attack our reinforcements and eliminate our living forces. Therefore, the general plans to take advantage of this rare opportunity to reorganize the army first, stabilize the army, improve morale and combat effectiveness, and wait for the opportunity to attack."

"If we retreat to the front line of Zhengzhou and make a stance to defend Luoyang, the Jin army must also adjust the attack strategy accordingly." Chai Yun continued, "This is our opportunity. If we don't move, the Jin army will not be able to figure out us clearly."

The real intention is that we will enter a stalemate on the battlefield…”

"Chai Zhongshu, what's our chance?" Yang Zhi suddenly interrupted Chai Yun's words and asked coldly, "Do we have reinforcements? If there are no reinforcements, if we continue to stalemate like this, we will still be unable to defeat the Jin thieves to rescue Bianjing? Should we give up Bianjing, give up the Central Plains, and let the Jin thieves suffer the lives?"

"I will never give up on Bianjing." Li Hu took Yang Zhi's words and said in a stern tone. "A month later, reinforcements arrived, and I will take you to the city of Bianjing."

After Li Hu made a promise, the generals in the tent knew that Li Hu was going to recruit reinforcements, and his nervousness immediately relaxed.

"Now, let's talk about the issue of military reorganization."

On February 25, the 10th Army of the Huli Lieutenant and the Northwest Army successively retreated to Xingyang and began training for the reorganization of the army.

On the 26th, Li Hu led the Eighth Army of Huwei,

The Nine Army rushed to Baisha Town and set up a camp. Baisha Town was more than 100 miles away from Bianjing. When the Jin army saw Li Hu's banner, they gathered in Banqiao, and the two armies confronted each other fifty miles apart.

That night, Li Hu, Lin Chong, Hailasu and others used tea instead of wine, and talked at night with candles.

"Master, there are only 24,000 people here. If the Jin army knew the truth and attacked the camp late at night, you would be defeated and fled." Hailasu saw Li Hu talking nonsense there, and looked leisurely and contented, and couldn't help asking, "Do you really think a Jinshui River can stop the Jin army's raid?"

"When I got here, whether it was Zonghan or Zongwang, they knew that the decisive battle was about to begin." Li Hu smiled, "If I pull all 80,000 people here, the Jurchens will definitely attack. If we defeat us, we can fight Luoyang. Of course, this battle will be fought, but now there are only two army of Hu Lie, with more than 20,000 people. If we defeat me, it is equivalent to losing the opportunity for a decisive battle. It will be difficult for them to fight Luoyang, so they will definitely not attack, and they will have to wait until I pull all the main forces over before fighting."

"Is the general manager really going to fight here?" Lin Chong asked.

"Of course." Lee

Hu said, "The decisive battlefield of this battle is Bianjing."

"Since the general general decided to fight here, why should we rush to reorganize the army?" Lin Chong asked.
