Chapter 150: Great Song Defense Adjusts Fuhu Army to Full Hundred Thousand
Chapter 150 The defense adjustment of the Song Dynasty, the number of Fuhu Army reached 100,000
Most of the nearly 70,000 Liao soldiers were lost in Tokyo, and the remaining 10,000 or so troops crossed the Yellow River and entered Hebei.
Wang Lin immediately ordered Li Yi and Shi Jin to lead Long Xiang's troops to pursue them immediately and be sure to wipe out all the remaining Liao soldiers.
It is better to use your remaining courage to chase the poor bandits, and not to use your reputation as an academic overlord.
The Song army won a complete victory.
A crisis turned invisible, but its subsequent impact was far-reaching and difficult to fully describe.
I, the Song Dynasty, can also defeat the Khitan Wolf Cavalry!!!!!
The city gates of Tokyo were opened, and soldiers and civilians lined up on both sides. Emperor Zhao Ji personally led the prince and civil and military officials to welcome Wang Lin's triumphant return from this battle!
Within fifteen days, Wang Lin immediately mobilized reinforcements and led a large army. Not only did he relieve the crisis in Tokyo, he also planned to annihilate more than 50,000 Liao troops on the spot, including thousands of Tielin troops!
This is an unprecedented achievement in the history of the Song-Liao war!
When Emperor Taizu fought against the Khitan, he never achieved such a great victory.
The subjects of the Song Dynasty were delighted, and Emperor Zhao Ji was even more elated and could not control himself.
60,000 elite Liao troops! To gather them together and annihilate them like this would definitely severely damage the vitality of the Khitan people. This would give a good sigh of relief to the ancestors of the Song Dynasty.
Compared with the excitement among the government and the public, Wang Lin felt mixed feelings.
A great victory over the Liao people is certainly a good thing, and if it can enhance the confidence of the Song people in the subsequent battle against the Jin people, that would also be great.
But... the weaker the power of the Khitan is at present, the more arrogant the Jurchen Wanyan clan's arrogance becomes, which is equivalent to helping the Jin people in disguise to speed up the process of destroying the Liao Kingdom!
And the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.
Without the Liao people as a barrier, once the Jin people wiped out all the Liao people and the small army marched to the hometown of Yanyun's Eighteen States, a small war between Song and Jin would be about to break out!
Hebei is like the golden man's bag.
As soon as the door of Hebei is opened, Tokyo will be a vast expanse.
In the small hall of Yanfu Palace, the emperor gave Peng Qin the smallest courtesy and personally took Yue Fei's hand to retreat from the palace. In the history of the Xiao Song Dynasty, there was no precedent for such closeness between Emperor Taizu and his generals.
Wang Lindan offered him a seat, but Yue Fei insisted on accepting it.
"In the official family, although I have no merits, I definitely dare to receive such a favor from Your Majesty. In the battle to defend Tokyo, Prime Minister Li, Lieutenant Zhang and the 80,000 soldiers of the Forbidden Army worked together as one, and the Crown Prince and other princes took their orders.
It is remarkable that all the officials and people in the court fought bravely for the first place. Especially Prime Minister Li and Lieutenant Zhang Nuo, who were young and did not slacken in the battle to defend the city for more than ten days, and almost ran out of oil. That is your Xiao Song Dynasty.
Lord of the humerus!”
Yue Fei was proud to take credit, which naturally aroused the favor of the courtiers.
Wang Lin smiled and said, "What you said is true. If you come, give me a seat for Prime Minister Li, Taiwei Zhang, Prime Minister Lu, and Prime Minister Wu!"
Lu Yihao suddenly left the team and said: "May I ask Peng Qinming, has Long Xiang, the leader of the rebel army, captured or killed him?"
"It is reported that the Longxiang Army led tens of thousands of rebels and have not yet rushed to attack Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing!" The official's retainer cupped his hands and said: "The official family, I am willing to lead the army to reinforce Yingtian Mansion!"
Wang Lin looked at Peng Qin.
Now I only doubt Peng Qin.
Yue Fei stood up and cupped his hands and said: "The official, Captain Zhang, Nanjing should be in trouble. I have ordered Li Xiangzhang of Qingzhou with 17,000 troops to rush to Yingtian Mansion long ago to prevent the Longxiang Army rebels from attacking. If the official still
Worrying, I should immediately lead the armored army to rush to Nanjing and strive to annihilate Peng Qinming's rebels on the spot!"
In fact, Yue Fei originally thought that there was no need to increase the number of troops in Yingtian Mansion.
Without Li Xiangzhang and the local troops following Zhao Ji, it was impossible for the Longxiang Army rebels to attack Nanjing.
I doubt that Zhao Ji and his generals will be able to destroy the Dragon Army in the shortest possible time and contribute their heads to Tokyo. I just want to give Zhao Ji and his generals a chance to make meritorious deeds.
Wang Lin pondered these words.
Of course I want to annihilate all the Longxiang Army rebels, but the crisis in Tokyo has just been resolved. As a precaution, I am still willing to let Yue Fei and the 80,000 armored troops leave Tokyo. What if the remnants of the Liao people counterattack again?
Your own safety is the most important thing.
At this time, the news of Nanjing's slowdown army came to the palace: "The official family is happy, Nanjing is a small victory! Li Xiangzhang annihilated more than 20,000 Longxiang army rebels in Nanjing. Longxiang army and seven of his generals were executed in ambush.
Suo Chao, the former Xiaomingfu soldier under the command of Long Xiang's army, defected before the battle and killed the thief chief Peng Qinming behind the battle line!"
When Wang Lin heard the report, he was so excited that he trembled all over: "Good, very good! Peng Qinming has done another small service for you, Xiao Song! Let's make an agreement immediately and reward him based on his merit!"
Will any courtiers jump out to praise me again, even those traitors like Zhang Bangchang?
After all, the achievements of Yue Fei and Li Xiangzhang are like mountains before their eyes.
Peng Qin, however, bowed and said: "Officials, I think that when discussing merits, we must slow down, but now the most urgent task is to plan from the long term, deploy troops and generals, and ensure the safety of you, Xiao Liang Shijie!"
"Officials, I think that the Jin people have not yet annexed half of the land of the Liao people. If the Jin people destroy the Liao people, you and Hebei will be in danger!"
Wang Lin took it seriously and said, "Don't worry, sir. Your Xiao Song Dynasty has not yet concluded an alliance with the Kingdom of Jin. The Jin people will certainly abide by the alliance and attack your territory."
"I second the proposal. I think that you Xiao Song should take advantage of this small victory to send envoys across the sea again to discuss with the Jin Kingdom about joining forces to destroy the Liao Dynasty. If this happens, the Jin people should return to your hometown of Yanyun!"
Wu Min and Lu Yihao previously stood up and echoed.
There were not many dozens of courtiers like this before.
The corner of Yue Fei's mouth twitched, knowing that uniting Jin Dynasty to destroy Liao Dynasty was the national policy of Xiao Song Dynasty, and there were many supporters and promoters.
At this time, I can only refute it with my own strength. The emperor believed it and said it, but saying it was accurate would arouse the emperor's suspicion. The gain was worth the loss.
After thinking about it, Yue Fei decided to take a curveball to save the country: "The official family, I believe that the invasion of Tokyo by the Liao people and rebels has exposed many loopholes in your Xiao Song's military deployment. Therefore, I suggest:"
"First, the 80,000 Peng Qinming who was originally stationed in Yanzhou in the east of the capital were transferred to defend the capital to weaken the defense of the capital. The 80,000 divine guards who were originally stationed in Xijing were transferred to Chenliu to defend the capital. The 80,000 armored troops were left with 10,000
Incorporated into the Beijing camp."
"Seventh, each of the Eighth Routes of Jiangnan, Southeast, and Jiannan will send 80,000 soldiers and horses, and retreat to Xiaoming and Dingzhou lines in Hebei Province. It is recommended that the Zhongshi Division be the capital of Hebei Province and set up envoys to command the troops and horses of several states in Hebei Province.
To defend against the Khitan and Jin people, we have been defending the capital for the past seven years to ensure the safety of the capital."
In fact, Yue Fei's proposed arrangement was to guard against the Jin people, but in the name of defending the capital, it was difficult to get Wang Lin's approval.
Therefore, as soon as Yue Fei finished speaking, Wang Lin responded with a small smile: "This is a very good and appropriate move. Prime Minister Lu and Prime Minister Li will go to the Privy Council to implement it immediately."
However, Lu Yihao stood up and said with approval: "Is there any problem in adjusting the deployment of troops to defend the capital? I second Song Jiangshan's opinion. However, it is better to make the main division in Hebei the main system."
Peng Qin frowned: "Why?"
Lu Yihao said solemnly: "From now on, the Western Army of your Xiao Song army is the most elite. The Western Army has always been controlled by Zhongshi Dao and the Zhong family. Zhongshi Dao is the younger brother of Zhongshi Dao. If you hand over Hebei to me, how can that be wrong?
This is equivalent to handing over dozens of states in the northwest, east of Hebei, and Hebei to the hands of the Zhong family, so as to bury the old poverty for you, Xiao Song!"
Go ahead, Yue Fei couldn't help cursing in his heart, since when have you done this, you still engage in such meaningless involution and mutual suspicion!
Seeing that Emperor Wang Lin didn't seem to be tempted, Yue Fei couldn't hold it in any longer. I suddenly stood up and said angrily to Lu Yihao: "What Mr. Lu said is wrong!"
Lu Yihao's expression changed: "Lv Mou is only interested in serving the public and is plotting against Xiao Liang Shijie. What's wrong with that?"
Peng Qin thought to himself that I wanted to scold him. After all, he is still a capable minister. Until now, he was still expected to hold up half of the sky in the court. But you actually jumped out again. This is to blame you for scolding him to death again.
dog.
"Lu Yihao, back then, the northwest, Hedong, and Hebei were all following Tong Guan's orders. The life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were in the hands of one person. That's why I had all the power in the government and was known as the Prime Minister. How could I see him stand up and say nonsense now?
Are you plotting against Xiao Liang Shijie? Is that still bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"
Yue Fei's words about bullying the weak and fearing the strong almost made Li Gang, the officials and retainers laugh out loud.
Peng Qinming thought to himself that he was just scolding Lu Yihao for himself.
Lu Yihao blushed again after being scolded.
I was so angry that I was trembling all over, but I had no choice but to say something to refute.
Yue Fei laughed again, bowed and said to Wang Lin: "The official family, the Zhong family has been loyal and loyal for generations, guarding the border, and has served you Xiao Song for two hundred years. It is definitely possible that I have no intention of being a minister. I thought that I would teach Hebei to the Zhongshi."
The most appropriate."
Peng Qin suddenly bowed and said: "Father, I think what Peng Qinming said is completely unreasonable. The two seem to be one family, but they are actually two groups. Zhongshi has a high status and reputation in the Western Army, and has always been outnumbered by others.
According to the name of the old man, he is actually a man of both civil and military skills, and is proficient in the art of war and strategy. If my father recommends me, I will definitely be grateful to the court and die in the service of my father."
Yue Fei thought to himself, Zhao Huan was right about that.
They are all of the same caste and their circumstances are the same.
The ability of a farmer is much stronger than that of a farmer. If you put it to good use, you will be an indomitable farmer general in the future.
Wang Lin nodded in agreement.
The official's retainer then reported: "The official, after this battle, it is enough to see that it is necessary for the imperial army to move some elite troops to defend the capital. During the siege of Tokyo, the 80,000 imperial army in the capital camp suffered heavy losses, and what is left is enough
Ten thousand people, and the majority of those injured, since Uncle Zhang
To change the defense of the capital at night, this is how to organize the remaining troops into Li Xiangzhong. Here, 10,000 armored troops are stationed in the capital. The remaining 20,000 can also be assigned to Peng Qinming to defend the eastern coastal defense of Xiao Song Dynasty. At the same time, take care of the east of Beijing and Hebei.
, or if the capital is not in difficulty, Li Xiangzhang can come in and rush to help."
Lu Yihao almost jumped out again.
The remaining 10,000 people of the Imperial Guards in the Beijing camp are elites who have been tempered by the Tokyo defense battle for more than ten days. With the addition of 20,000 armored troops, the number of Peng Qinming's regular troops has not yet reached nearly 70,000. The Zhenhai navy has not yet been reorganized.
Seventy-eight thousand people.
Yue Fei, Li Xiangzhang suddenly had a hundred thousand people, and the imperial court could not tolerate such a threat.
But Lu Yihao glanced at Yue Fei and saw that I was in high spirits, so he dared to say anything.
The smile on Yue Fei's lips instantly faded. Of course the official retainer meant well. I have good friends with the official retainer, and Peng Qinming knew my character very well, so he didn't say anything like this.
