At this moment, Zhang Xian and Yang Lin were extremely shocked. They did not expect Yue Fei to say such words. [This chapter is updated by friends] They pursued the Western Army all the way, and now they have basically eliminated the main force of the Western Army.
It is no longer possible to threaten the safety of Hedong, so why go to Bianliang?
Bianliang was the capital of the Song Dynasty. It had an infinite population, endless wealth, and what was even more terrifying was that it had 800,000 forbidden troops. Although these 800,000 forbidden troops were only the "claim" of the court, in fact they might only be 4 to 50 million, but that
It was also extremely terrifying, and it was definitely not someone ten thousand of them could easily offend.
"Brother, why are we going to Bianliang?" Zhang Xian leaned on Yue Fei and asked in confusion.
"Go to Bianliang and lure all the enemies away." Yue Fei said with a smile. After a moment, fearing that these people would not understand what he meant, he added: "In addition to the Western Army, there are also soldiers and horses from Taiyuan and Hebei.
They are invading our Hedong province. Let’s go to Bianliang to lure these enemy troops away.”
Zhang Xiandao: "Brother? There are 800,000 forbidden troops in Bianliang. We only have 10,000 men. How can we attack Bianliang? If we go there, wouldn't we be courting death?"
Yang Lin nodded at the side and said: "General Yue, please think twice. We have reached Fenglingdu and the mission has been completed. As for the troops and horses in Taiyuan and Hebei, they are insignificant. General Lin and the others will definitely be able to stop these troops.
"
Yue Fei smiled and said: "Of course Master and the others can block it, but it's just too troublesome. It would be better if I attack Bianliang directly. The effect will be better. Besides, the soldiers have made some progress after fighting for several days, and they still need to fight a few more times.
Only in this way can you become more elite
As for the Imperial Guards, they are insignificant. They are more like a group of dudes than an army. Let alone 10,000 people, even 1,000 people can catch them by surprise. Okay, that’s all I’m saying.
Yes, are you willing to go?"
Zhang Xian and Yang Lin looked at each other and nodded. Zhang Xian is Yue Fei's sworn brother. Yang Lin has been convinced of Yue Fei during this period, so he has no reason to refuse Yue Fei's orders.
Seeing that they agreed, Yue Fei was very happy and said: "Let me tell you about the situation of the Forbidden Army. Master, he used to be the chief instructor of the Forbidden Army. He knows the situation of the Forbidden Army very well."
The so-called Forbidden Army was originally supposed to be the most elite force in the Song Dynasty, but in fact they had become the worst army in the Song Dynasty. Hundreds of thousands of troops were not trained at all on weekdays, and even the weapons in the army were taken away.
Exchange drinks. There are many generals in the Forbidden Army, and most generals do not go to the military camp at all on weekdays. Many generals do not know how many people they have. The so-called soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers. This is used to describe these people.
Nothing better.
Historically, when the Jin Dynasty invaded Bianliang, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan ordered hundreds of thousands of imperial troops to stand along the Yellow River to block the Jin army. At that time, the Jin army only had tens of thousands of people. When they saw hundreds of thousands of Song troops on the bank of the Yellow River,
, they were shocked. But what surprised them even more was that they only beat the war drums for one night, and in the early morning of the next day, all the forbidden troops fled. The hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops did not play a single role in resisting the Jin army.
After the Southern Song Dynasty was established, these forbidden troops disappeared long ago. Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other armies in the Southern Song Dynasty were all recruited from "militia" or "bandits". It can be said that during the transition between the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties, "
The strength of the "militiamen" far exceeded those of the Forbidden Army. The Forbidden Army under Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe had been completely abolished by the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and had no role other than a waste of money and food.
Yue Fei explained the situation of the Forbidden Army to Zhang Xian and Yang Lin. Zhang Xian and Yang Lin were both in disbelief. Zhang Xian said: "Since the Forbidden Army is like this, why does the imperial court support such a group of people?"
Yue Fei said: "How did the imperial court know that the Forbidden Army had become like this? The imperial ministers, Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, and Yang Jian only know how to act arrogantly and do good deeds every day, and obtain Hua Shi Gang for the emperor. Where do they care about other things?
?”
Among the three, Yang Lin is older, Yue Fei and Zhang Xian are both teenagers, but when it comes to the situation in the court, all three of them shake their heads with emotion.
"In that case, let's go to Bianliang for a walk!" Yang Lin laughed.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's have a good night's rest. Let's go to Bianliang tomorrow morning." Yue Fei said with a smile.
That night, Yue Fei's soldiers and horses all slept deeply. They were really exhausted after chasing the Western Army all the way. Not only did they sleep deeply, but the prisoners of the Western Army also slept deeply, so there were no prisoners.
Troubles happen.
Early the next morning, the sky was a little gloomy. The soldiers all woke up, washed their faces with cold water, and then started boiling water for breakfast. After breakfast, all the soldiers looked radiant.
"All soldiers, gather!" Yue Fei gave the order loudly.
Soon, the soldiers gathered together. The queue was still so orderly and the morale was very high. After experiencing many victories, these recruits finally changed completely, and their temperament was very different from before.
The prisoners of the Western Army stood aside. They were surprised when they saw Yue Fei's army constantly adjusting their queues and performing "number reports" and other operations that are very common in modern armies. They did not know what Yue Fei's army was doing.
What. Although the Western Army is elite, it only trains a lot on weekdays, but has never had such a formation training. They were very curious for a while. Several Western Army generals looked at all this in surprise, not knowing this.
What's the use?
"General Qi, we have 11,000 troops, and there are still 10,273 of them. The whereabouts of the rest are unknown." A soldier ran up to Yue Fei and reported loudly.
"Very good! The soldiers of the first brigade went out to pull out the Western Army's war horses!" Yue Fei said.
Soon Yang Lin led the soldiers of the First Brigade to collect the horses of the Western Army. These horses originally numbered 20,000, but during the battle yesterday, many people escaped, so Yang Lin was able to collect only more than 8,000 horses.
However, 8,000 war horses are also a huge wealth for Yue Fei. War horses are the most valuable military supplies in this era. Maybe the Khitan people and nv people don't care about it very much, but the Song people care about it very much.
Yue Fei pulled a war horse and stroked the horse's fur with his hand. The war horse snorted. Yue Fei laughed loudly and said: "Yes, these are good horses. Come, let us know, so that our army can ride horses."
All of them came out."
As Yue Fei's order was issued, the army quickly moved into action. After half a quarter of an hour, more than 4,000 people stood up. These more than 4,000 people quickly formed a queue and stood there neatly.
The prisoners of the Western Army were stunned to see it. It was really difficult for them to understand how Liangshan soldiers and horses could line up again so quickly. Apart from anything else, this neat line up was a great shock to people's souls.
Yue Fei looked at these 4,000 people and nodded, thinking that these were the 4,000 people. He was going to take these 4,000 people to Bianliang and go around in a circle.
He walked towards the 4,000 people, but just after taking two steps, a soldier suddenly said: "General, I know how to ride a bull, can I do it?"
Yue Fei was stunned, looked at the soldier, and said: "Riding a bull is different from riding a horse. It's much different. Come here, pull a horse for him. If he can ride, he will come with me."
The soldier was overjoyed. He was actually Xue San, who had followed Lin Chong into the battle some time ago. Seeing that so many people who could ride horses had been singled out, he knew that those people must be going on a mission again. He was not willing to stay.
Fenglingdu also wanted to follow everyone on the mission, so he took the initiative to step forward.
After a while, a horse pulled over, and Yue Fei said: "Come and try it! If you fall off the horse, it's not my fault!"
Xue San nodded, turned over and headed towards the horse. As soon as he jumped on the horse, the horse jumped violently and bumped abnormally. Xue San gritted his teeth and persisted. After a while, he
Following the example of the others, he started shouting "drive" and "drive", and the horse began to run. The horse's back became more bumpy, and his face became pale, but he just gritted his teeth and refused to let himself go.
Fall down.
When they arrived in front of Yue Fei, Yue Fei waved and the horse stopped. Xue San also began to dismount. His face was very white, his heartbeat was fast, and he was panting.
"It seems like you can't do it?" Yue Fei said.
"General, I can do this!" Xue San begged.
"You will learn the art of horse control from me along the way," Yue Fei said.
When Xue San heard this, he was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Thank you so much, general!"
Seeing that Xue San succeeded in asking for a battle, the remaining soldiers also said: "General, I can also ride an ox."
When Yue Fei heard this, he laughed and said: "No! Riding a horse and riding a bull are completely different! Look at what he has become after struggling on the horse for so long. We are on a mission.
, I’m not here to train with you. Well, you just stay here, our army from Liangshan will arrive soon. You keep the prisoners and wait for the arrival of the commander."
The three brigade commanders Yang Lin, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng could ride horses, and they also wanted to follow Yue Fei to Bianliang. But Yue Fei couldn't take them all away, and the remaining soldiers needed someone to lead them. After thinking about it, Yue Fei kept Guo Sheng.
After coming down, he took Yang Lin, Lu Fang, Zhang Xian and others on their horses and headed forward.
When they came to the Yellow River, they first set up a pontoon bridge, and then crossed the Yellow River and headed south. Ahead was Shaanzhou, which is now the Sanmen Gorge area in Henan Province. They drove during the day and only rested for two hours at night, and then continued on their way. They averaged
There are two horses per person, one horse carries people, and the other horse carries military rations. However, each of them only brought ten days of military rations. This time they just went to Bianliang for a walk.
Traveling three hundred miles a day, they arrived at the border of Luoyang on the second day. Here, they met the local garrison in Luoyang, but there were only more than 100 people. When Yue Fei's troops and horses rushed forward, the garrison was frightened.
Luan ran away. Yue Fei ignored the garrison and continued to move forward.
The garrison troops hurriedly reported the news to Luoyang Commander Zhao Ding.
