Chapter 91 The trap is very close

An error occurred while processing s private files

On the 18th, Wang De and Li Qiong led their troops to Xiangyi City. They walked along the way and set up camp for fifty miles. Then they sent messengers to report to Zhang Jun that they were blocked by the Tiger Lieutenant Army and had to stop and beg Zhang Shuai and Xin Shuai to lead the army to aid quickly.

Zhang Jun believed it and urged Xin Xingzong to lead his army to Ningling.

On the 19th, Wang De and Li Qiong finally arrived at the city of Xiangyi. Although the two were unwilling to attack the city, they had no eyes on the swords and arrows in front of the two armies. They had to do their best when they should do their best. That night, Wang De ordered the army to prepare to attack the city tomorrow.

Wang Yuan in the city was very uneasy when he saw the rebels' speed of progress and knew that the other party had no desire to attack. He sent someone to hurriedly report to Yue Fei that he had to fight with the Jin army in the Liangshanpo area of ​​Jeju to create the illusion that the main force of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army was blocking the Jurchens, thereby inducing the rebels to attack Xiangyi, so that he had the opportunity to abandon the city.

That night, Yue Fei received a letter. The commission could not stop, so he discussed with his subordinates, Sun Ge and Huang Zong.

"I was about to lure the Jin army to Kaifeng, and now I am blocking the Jin army in Liangshanpo, Jeju. What if something big is wrong?"

"If the Huliwu Army retreats at the same time on two battlefields, it will definitely arouse the enemy's suspicion." Sun Ge said, "Wang Liushou's suggestion is very reasonable. Only when the Huliwu Army fights fiercely on one of the battlefields, then retreating on the other battlefield is natural. In this way, it is not surprising that Wang Liushou gives up Xiangyi, and the rebels will continue to attack as long as there is a advantage."

Yue Fei was silent. Now the Jurchens and the Southeast rebels were watching each other, and the battlefield might be in a stalemate. If we want to break the deadlock, we must surround some of the rebels and fight with them, so that the Jurchens felt that there was an opportunity, otherwise Wanyan Talan might not be interested in attacking and opening the seal. After all, the Jin Dynasty was negotiating with Li Hu, and the two sides had the possibility of a peace agreement. Wanyan Talan might receive an imperial edict ordered by Huanglong Mansion to remain unmoved. Without an absolute chance of winning, it is indeed unlikely that Wanyan Talan would attack and opening the seal.

"Ship Yue, it's best to adjust the attack deployment." Huang Zong saw that Yue Fei was unsure of his mind, so he advised, "Fight with the Jin army first. Even if he doesn't fight, he must transfer some troops to the place so that the Jurchens and the rebels can make wrong judgments, otherwise it will be difficult for us to control the progress of the battle."

Yue Fei thought about it over and over again and accepted Huang Zong's suggestion.

That night, Yue Fei ordered Abaddon, who had arrived in Kaifeng, to take the two Hulie Army quickly to Jeju to pick up the two armies of Lin Chong and Han Shizhong to retreat.

In order to ensure that Lin Chong and Han Shizhong could understand his intentions and faithfully execute his orders, Yue Fei specifically instructed Abaddon to show his weakness to the enemy no matter what, and to lure the Jin army into the Kaifeng Prefecture area. This is the key to this battle.

"What if the Jin army pursues very quickly?" Abaddon asked, "Are we going to continue to block the attack in Jeju, or take advantage of the situation to retreat quickly?"

"Retreat, retreat quickly." Yue Fei said without hesitation, "What I worry most is that the Jin army will not pursue. If the Jin army takes advantage of the situation to pursue, that is a good thing. You must not only retreat quickly, but also act in a panic to lure the Jin army into a trap."

On the 20th, Wang De and Li Qiong attacked Xiangyi City.

On that day, Xin Xingzong arrived in Ningling and Zhang Jun also arrived, and the two had another argument.

Xin Xingzong was waiting for the orders of the emperor and Tong Guan. But strangely, there was no news for a long time. The Huli Army who fought across the Huai River had looted Yangzhou. Although the city was not conquered, the consequences were extremely serious. The people were very panicked. There was a tide of escape in the southern prefectures and counties in the Huai River. If this situation was not curbed in time, it would cause a terrible impact on the southeast. What was the emperor and Tong Guan doing? Do they still want to defend the Jianghuai defense line?

In fact, Xin Xingzong was unwilling to attack and open the Fengxian, so it was reasonable that his marching was slow, but Zhang Jun could not let Xin Xingzong do whatever he wanted. This not only concerns the security of the Huaihe River defense line, but also concerns the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers. As the commander of the army, you must not be indifferent at this moment, otherwise there may be a catastrophe.

Zhang Jun warned Xin Xingzong that if he continued to fight passively, he had the right to temporarily remove Xin Xingzong from his military post and deprive Xin Xingzong of his military power. Xin Xingzong did not want to turn against Zhang Jun. He was a military general and had no status in the court. If the two really turned against each other, if there was an accident in the Central Plains battlefield, he would definitely be the one who was unlucky in the end. So Xin Xingzong took the initiative to apologize and found a few reasons to explain the reason for his slow march.

When Zhang Jun saw Xin Xingzong smiling and showing his goodwill, he felt cold in his heart. What he feared most was someone like Xin Xingzong who had a knife hidden in his smile. Such a person looks very well-educated and has a big belly, but in fact he is cruel and ruthless. He doesn't blink his eyes when he kills people.

"Wanyan Talan has already sent a letter." Zhang Jun forced a smile, "He told me that the Hu Lie Army began to retreat, and he would lead the army to chase him to Kaifeng. In order to cooperate with our army's attack, he promised to abide by the agreement and lead the army to advance step by step."

Xin Xingzong frowned slightly and asked, "Did he know that a tiger brigade crossed the Huai south and was burning, killing and looting the north bank of the Yangtze River?"

"I don't know." Zhang Jun said, "I didn't tell him that he probably hasn't received any news about this."

"If Wanyan Talai knew that the Tiger Lie Army crossed Huai south and threatened Jiangning, what would he do? Should he accelerate the advance towards Kaifeng, or would he remain silent and sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight?"

Zhang Jun thought for a moment and said, "Wanyan Talan will definitely accelerate the attack."

"Are you sure?" Xin Xingzong asked.

"I'm sure." Zhang Jun said, "As you said, the situation in the north has changed, and the Jurchens are in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides. In the next few months, the main force of the Jin army in Shandong may go north to fight. In this way, they need our help more urgently so that we can restrain the tiger and bribery army in the Central Plains and ensure that their interests in Central Earth are not lost."

Xin Xingzong smiled bitterly and had nothing to say. He felt that Zhang Jun was too naive and a scholarly spirit. He had no idea about the darkness and ugliness of the national affairs, nor did he know the shamelessness and selfishness of the people in the court.

"Then what do we fight next?" Xin Xingzong asked.

"Attacking Xiangyi, attracting the main force of the Tiger Lie Army, forcing the Tiger Lie Army to accelerate its retreat, so that Wanyan Talai and the Jin army could lead the Jin army to the city of Kaifeng as quickly as possible."

On the 21st, under Zhang Jun's forced, Xin Xingzong led his army to travel dozens of miles to Xiangyi City to meet with Wang De and Li Qiong. On this day, Wang De and Li Qiong had only had several attacks on the city. They were purely perfunctory.

On the 22nd, Zhang Jun rushed to the front line and personally supervised the battle. The Southeast Song army gathered 80,000 troops and launched a fierce attack on Xiangyi City.

On the same day, in Juye City, Jeju Ji Prefecture, Lin Chong and Han Shizhong led their troops to launch a ** to the pursuit of Jin army.

Wanyan Talan and Liu Yu followed the army with more than 100,000, and were very fast, not as delayed as Yue Fei was worried about. Wanyan Talan's goal was very clear. He wanted to open the seal and attack the Southeast Song army in order to give the Tiger and Lieutenant Army a heavy blow.

This was the order of Huanglongfu and the meaning of Wanyan Gao. Zonghan advocated the exchange of Shandong for an alliance with Li Hu, while Wu Qimai and Wanyan Gao were willing to discuss peace, but did not want to give up Shandong. For this reason, they hoped that Wanyan Talan could cooperate with the Southeast Song army and attack Kaifeng hard, so that Li Hu had to make concessions during the negotiations, negotiate peace with the Jin Kingdom as soon as possible, end the confrontation between the two sides, and then gain enough time for the Jin Kingdom to deal with the security issues in the northern territory.

Just when Wanyan Talai was helpless, the Hulien Army took the initiative to attack Shandong, which made Wanyan Talai very happy. In his opinion, the Hulien Army took the initiative to attack Shandong in order to gain an advantage in the negotiations, so the attack momentum must be very fierce. Wanyan Talai decided to avoid the edge for the time being, first retreat to Qizhou, and at the same time force the Southeast Song army to join forces with him.

The Southeast Song army refused in every way but refused to send troops, which made Wanyan Talan very angry. Fortunately, the people of the Southeast Song Dynasty finally sent troops. As soon as the Southeast Song army moved, the situation changed drastically and the situation quickly reversed. The originally unstoppable Tiger and Lieutenant Army retreated immediately. Wanyan Talan would not miss such an opportunity, and then all the Shandong army was launched and chased and killed quickly.

On the 22nd day, the Tiger Lie Army hit Wanyan Talai's thoughts, which shows that the Tiger Lie Army could no longer bear the attack of two armies. They planned to take a gamble and defeat one of them first, and the target chosen by the Tiger Lie Army was obviously the Southeast Song army. Wanyan Talai was willing to help, which would be beneficial to his attack and opening the seal.

Wanyan Talan once again avoided the enemy's edge, led his army to retreat 30 miles, and urgently sued Zhang Jun, Southeast. I was blocked by the main force of the Tiger Lie Army in Jeju. At this moment, it was the best opportunity for your troops to take advantage of the situation and go north to the city of Kaifeng.

The distance between Juye and Yingtian Prefecture is only more than four hundred miles, and it will take only one or two days to rush. When Wanyan Talai's letter was delivered to Zhang Jun, the Southeast Song army had already conquered Xiangyi City, and the generals of the army were arguing about whether to continue to go north. Wanyan Talai's letter gave Zhang Jun strong support.

It is obvious that in the face of the pursuit of the Jin army, the Tiger Lie Army had to invest heavily in the interception, which became the best explanation for the Southeast Song army to quickly capture Xiangyi City. In order to delay, Xin Xingzong, Wang De and others deliberately made a big fuss about the Tiger Lie Army abandoning the city and leaving. They believed that this was the Tiger Lie Army's plan to lure the enemy and advised Zhang Jun not to take risks and go deeper. Unexpectedly, Wanyan Talan's letter slapped them.

"This letter is very clear. Yue Fei personally led the army to Juye. The two sides fought fiercely, which proves that the main force of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army in the Central Plains had arrived in Jeju." Zhang Jun decided decisively, "Tomorrow, the army will head north and continue to attack."

"Do you believe in the Fanlu? Do you believe in the Jurchens?" Xin Xingzong had a bad premonition. He wanted to stop him, but Zhang Jun did not give him a chance at all.
