At this time, the strength of the two armies of the North Route Army was much stronger than that of the South Route Army. Yue Fei was the coach of the Third Army. Zhang Xian, Zhang Jun and others were all strong generals under the Third Army. Yang Xiong, Yang
Zhi and others are brave generals of the Northern Army. Their total strength exceeds 100,000. The reason why so many soldiers and horses are arranged on the North Road is mainly because the strength of Beijing on the North Road is stronger than that of Zhongjing.
Since the loss of Huining Mansion, Wanyan Aguda has been sitting in Zhongjing. When he was there, Zhongjing was naturally stronger than Shangjing, but when he left, he took all the soldiers and horses in Zhongjing to the east. Now Zhongjing is extremely empty, with almost no one.
How many garrison troops? On the contrary, there are still 30,000 garrison troops in Shangjing. Although these 30,000 people are new auxiliary troops, they can still resist for a while with the city walls of Shangjing City, so Hua Rong arranged more elite soldiers
The horses formed the Northern Route Army.
Of course, the people on Liangshan Mountain did not really take Shangjing City seriously. The Nuzhen's power has been completely wiped out, and it is impossible for the remaining cities to block Liangshan's attack.
The more than 100,000 troops on the North Road only rested for one day before continuing on the road. However, all the soldiers did not feel much tired. This battle was fought happily and they had completely won. They were all very excited mentally. At this moment, they
I rushed with all my strength, hoping to reach Shangjing as quickly as possible and occupy the city.
Going west, the road was very desolate, and it took several days to walk before they saw the city. They are now in the northeast, at the junction of Inner and Inner Mongolia. Originally, this place was a wasteland or grassland like Liaodong, but 200 years after the founding of the Liao Kingdom,
It has gradually become more prosperous, and there are now more than ten prefectures and counties here!
There were not many soldiers stationed in each city, some were one or two thousand, some were only a few hundred. Wherever Liangshan's army went, these cities all looked down upon the wind.
Yue Fei led his army into these cities. He found that the situation in these cities was not very good. It was similar to the Zongzhou and Lizhou they had conquered before. There was also a lack of food in these cities, and people were starving to death everywhere.
, as for people cannibalizing things, it is also common.
Yue Fei frowned secretly. He asked his soldiers to take out the rations and supply them to the people in these cities.
The soldiers were unusually cheerful. First, the discipline in Liangshan was strict and they were not allowed to resist orders from their superiors. Second, the soldiers in Liangshan were all from the lower classes. They had been educated by military and civilian families for many years. Even if there were no orders from above, they would take the initiative.
Take out the military rations.
"Brother, we defeated the Jurchens. This time we gained countless cities and countless people, but it also brought us huge trouble! Millions of people in the north have no food or water. All this requires
Let's come from Liangshan to supply." Zhang Xian said as he and Yue Fei came out of a small town.
"Yes, this is a huge trouble! But it's the end of May now, and the food will arrive in two months. It should be able to supply here by then! Moreover, the people here can be allowed to grow some autumn food. I believe that by next year
, everything will be fine." Yue Fei said.
"It is not easy to transport food from various places here and distribute it to these people to ensure that no injustice will cause dissatisfaction." Zhang Xian stuck out his tongue and said.
He is a fierce general under Yue Fei. He is good at fighting and has no experience in civil affairs. In his opinion, this is an extremely huge project, more difficult than defeating the Jurchens. After seeing the expression on Zhang Xian's face
, Yue Fei laughed loudly. In fact, Yue Fei was not good at civil affairs. He knew that Wu Dong, Li Gang and others would naturally handle these matters, but he did not need to bother them.
"Let's go to Shangjing City quickly! Take Shangjing City first to avoid accidents!" Yue Fei said.
With an army of more than 100,000, the cavalry advanced first. On the 27th day of the fifth lunar month, Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, and Zhang Jun first arrived near Shangjing City.
"Zhang Xian, take the soldiers to the front to investigate!" After many days of continuous galloping, the soldiers were a little tired. Yue Fei asked the soldiers to station here and let the horses rest here for a while, and then ordered Zhang Xian to explore the reality of the upper capital.
.
Zhang Xian left at noon, and it was not until the afternoon that Zhang Xian came back again. After he dismounted, there was an anxious expression on his face.
"What happened?" Yue Fei was washing his face with water by the river. Seeing Zhang Xian's anxious expression, he immediately asked.
"Brother, I went to see it, and the city of Shangjing has been occupied by the Xixia people!" Zhang Xiandao.
"What? Xixia people?" Yue Fei was stunned.
"Yes, they are Xixia people! We have fought with Xixia people before. I know their dress and attire. There are tens of thousands of Xixia people on the city walls!" Zhang Xian said.
"Come on, let's go take a look!" Yue Fei said immediately.
At this moment, Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, and Zhang Jun headed towards the upper capital with 30,000 cavalry! Although Yue Fei felt a little strange, he didn't have much to worry about! After the last battle with the Xixia people, he had already seen the Xixia people
With their strength, they were really vulnerable! Although he didn't know why the Xixia people appeared in Shangjing, it didn't matter. He would expel the Xixia people soon.
When the sun set, Yue Fei's army arrived here. Yue Fei led 10,000 cavalry in the south, Zhang Xian was in the southwest, and Zhang Jun was in the southeast. Liangshan soldiers and horses were galloping under the Shangjing City, observing from time to time what was happening above.
Condition.
Yue Fei took a closer look and found that these people were indeed dressed in Xixia clothes, and their number should be around 30,000. In addition to the Xixia people, there were also some people wearing the clothes of the new auxiliary army, who should be the original garrison of Shangjing City.
Now these people are actually mixed with the Xixia people.
"Go to Beijing! The capital of the Liao Kingdom, this is our territory in Liangshan. If the Xixia people dare to come here to take advantage, they are seeking death!" Yue Fei said secretly while riding on his horse.
Shangjing City was the former capital of the Liao Kingdom, with a higher status than Zhongjing, Yanjing and other places. In the past, this was the economic, political, and cultural center of the Liao Kingdom. The Liao people spent 200 years building it into the pearl of the north.
.The Jurchens defeated the Khitans and accepted
Shangjing. Now that Liangshan has defeated the Jurchens, Shangjing naturally belongs to Liangshan. Everyone on Liangshan has regarded Shangjing as their own property. Now seeing the Xixia people actually appearing here, including Yue Fei, all the officers and soldiers had a look on their faces.
Angry expression.
Yue Fei walked around the outside of Shangjing City for nearly an hour. The sun had already set and torches were already lit on the city wall. At this moment, a group of generals appeared on the south tower! The leader
One man looked to be in his 40s and was wearing heavy armor. He was looking intently at the Liangshan army below.
