After the military order was issued, the middle part of the Tian Division was the first to move. In the next few days, countless soldiers from the imperial camp on the right packed their bags and retreated from the front line in an orderly manner under the cover of the rear receiving troops. A large number of troops in the Hebei area had just succeeded but missed the target.

The cities in the east and north were abandoned, and the army began to cross the complicated rivers and converge on a few large cities or military camps closer to where the main force of the Imperial Army was gathered.

Let us say that once the Song Army began its Northern Expedition, the situation was chaotic, and armed reconnaissance and detailed operations began to be widespread and spread.

Not to mention armed reconnaissance, that is, the infiltration of sentries and small groups of troops, it has become very common to conduct detailed operations... The Song Army will do it, and the Jin Army will also do it. There is often a small boat floating across the Yellow River at night.

Forked roads, passing through those ditches and woods, and then arriving in the form of passwords or tokens... And whether it is the Jin Kingdom or the Song Dynasty, the details used are generally the local Han people in Hebei.

Under such circumstances, things outside the military camp could not be concealed at all, and the abnormal dispatch of the imperial camp's right army on such a scale was naturally impossible to hide from anyone. It immediately attracted the attention of all parties and caused a chain reaction. So much so that Yue Fei felt so self-righteous.

The plan encountered unexpected interference, which directly affected his layout and arrangement.

But this unexpected reaction did not come from Jin Jun.

In fact, from a military logic point of view, there is no reason for the top Jin army officials in Hebei to feel any particular incomprehension about the Song army's retreat...Wang Bolong's encounter was a perfect reason. The main force of the Jin army was in the rear area.

Gathering is a fundamental reason for death.

The commander-in-chief of the Song Army could have sensed the danger from Wang Bolong's dispatch and the large-scale recruitment of troops, and made a massive retreat.

Therefore, the retreat of the Imperial Right Army was within a reasonable chain of military logic from the very beginning. Any qualified military general should have expected the Song Army to shrink... It's just that the Song Army shrank so quickly and decisively.

The range of shrinkage is so wide, it's a bit admirable.

In addition, another important reason why the Jin army reacted as Yue Fei expected was actually due to one person.

Gaojingshan.

As early as a few years ago, during the confrontation and interaction with the Jin army on the other side of the river, Yue Fei had already noticed the character of the military commander of the Jin Kingdom's Daming Mansion - this person was conscientious and had military experience.

He also has political talent and political status, but for some unknown reason, he has always behaved very conservatively.

This has been evident since seven years ago when this man followed the Eight-Character Army across the river without noticing anything. His response methods since the war began can also be verified... Those conservative retreats and abandonments, the navy's long-term avoidance of war, Daming Mansion

The construction of defensive measures, including the more than twenty artillery trucks aimed at the river, can all explain the problem.

Not to mention that the artillery carriage is fixed or something, the key point is that it takes time to launch the artillery... This time is not only the process of setting up the artillery carriage, but also the artillery carriage position you have to build at the ferry in the city.

, should we demolish the house in advance? Should we build a gun truck factory?

However, after Yue Fei broke through Daming City and faced Yuancheng across the river, more than half of the artillery carts on the opposite side were already in place. This shows that Gao Jingshan was probably the one who took action as soon as the Song army went north, or simply as soon as the third prince was killed.

The city defenses were prepared to the death without leaving any omissions.

I don’t know whether I should admire this person’s calmness or his intelligence.

And this character is actually another factor in Yue Fei's decision to launch a large-scale offensive before the ice freeze.

In short, this kind of conservative coach, coupled with the fact that the main force of the Jin Kingdom was gathering in large numbers, did not carry out direct military interference, nor did he make large-scale military adjustments around Daming Mansion - Gao Jingshan had no intention of seeking credit at all.

Wang Bolong took action, which was expected.

Although this person is under the dispatch of Daming Mansion, you can actually tell from where he is stationed that he has always felt separated from the four ten thousand households surrounding Daming Mansion. Now that he is coming from north to south, he has reason to avoid Gao Jingshan's military orders. In addition,

This person has a strong style, and it is normal for him to make a slight pursuit action.

However, it is impossible for Wang Bolong to really pursue and go deep... On the one hand, it is the danger of going deep alone, and on the other hand, he must have the highest military order such as Wanyan Wushu, allowing him to take position in a certain area (most likely

The area north of Xiajin).

In fact, his general flag did stop in the north of Xiajin, while his subordinates crossed the North Fork of the East Road of the Yellow River, swept through Dezhou, and chose to withdraw after several battles with the Song army.

However, even if the military development was exactly as Yue Fei expected, he still miscalculated and caused a huge delay in the plan. To put it bluntly, the real surprise was not the Jin Army, nor the political pressure from Tokyo behind...

Tokyo's response was not so fast, and no matter how big the response was, it was impossible to directly affect the front line... The people who had the most direct impact on the military plan were the people of the three states at the east fork of the Yellow River.

That is, the survivors of the three prefectures and Hebei provinces that had just been liberated.

Although the Yuying Youjun has never been a model army, it depends on who you compare with. At least it is not too far from Tokyo. It is closer to Yue Pengju and the Yuyingqianjun, more than half of whom are from Hebei. The Yuying Youjun is also

You don’t dare to massacre and plunder the city, do you?

What's more, the common people can't understand the situation. They only see that the right army of the imperial camp has only occupied the town for a few dozen days, and then retreated in a large number of days. Naturally, they will feel panic - if the Jin army comes back again, will it happen?

Wouldn't it be like the massacre and kidnapping of Han people eight or nine years ago?

At the same time, the Jin Kingdom launched a large-scale recruitment and issuance of troops in the prefectures and counties surrounding the North Yellow River Road. Men from entire villages and towns were dragged away... Just across the river that would freeze and freeze in the winter, no one had any relatives or friends.

Over there? Who wouldn’t spread some gossip?

Therefore, the Jin army did not kill people, but it was already a real success. When the time comes, the soldiers on the battlefield will have no eyesight, and they will end up dead without a burial place. Will anyone still teach them? It has only been a few years? Except for the little ones.

Children, which one has never experienced war?

As a result, whether they admired the virtues of the king's teacher, harbored feelings for the emperor and the Song Dynasty, or were afraid of war, as soon as the right army of the imperial camp moved, about 100,000 people from the three states followed them southward, dragging their families with them.

There is nothing to say about this. Although it will seriously hinder the retreat and assembly of the Imperial Right Army, and it will also create huge pressure on logistics and people's livelihood, but the matter has come to this, it is absolutely impossible to expel them... Wang Bolong's troops and the Song Army in the Dezhou area

It was against this background that several battles took place.

Even Yue Fei could only quickly send troops after learning the news, and in turn go to support Tian Shizhong, and then personally wrote a letter to Wan Qixi in Jinan, asking the other party to take him in. At the same time, he did not forget to write documents to Tokyo and Hedong areas.

The secret letter apologizes.

There's no way, really there's no way.

As a native of Hebei, Yue Fei could not leave these people alone under any circumstances, but the army was not in charge of this. Once he focused on these war refugees, his military plan might really abort.

Fortunately, on the first day of mid-November, Wan Qixi's official documents and private messages arrived at the same time as the obviously angry questions from Tokyo... The latter promised in the official document that he would use the imperial camp's former army in Henan to

The military camp was used as a camp to temporarily accommodate these refugees from Hebei, and at the same time, young men were organized on the spot to replace some of the young men from Jingdong's native place and participate in transportation to the rear.

But this matter is destined not to last long, and there is also great pressure from both Jingdong and Jingdong. These people must be facilitated to return home as soon as possible, preferably before spring farming next year, and Yue Fei must explain it to the central government so that the central government can supplement it in terms of supplies.

At the same time, in another private letter, Wan Qixi did not forget to seriously remind Yue Fei that he should take the initiative to confess his plan to Zhao and Zhang and explain the whole story. He must not give up communication just because he thinks he is right, let alone

Because of the absolute trust of officials, some things are taken for granted.

Of course, Wan Qixi also made it very clear in his letter. He believed that with Yue Fei's ability in dealing with people, he must have reported it to Zhao Guan's family when he made up his mind, and there must be words in Tokyo... But the key lies in attitude.

!The statement to the officials should be direct and clear, while the statement to the governor in Tokyo must be detailed and clear, preferably with drawings and articles.

Moreover, according to his guess, there will be messengers coming to the front line in Tokyo soon, and they must be prepared.

After Yue Fei read the official document and sent a private message, he felt relieved for a moment, but he couldn't help but feel complicated... because he really immediately and seriously provided a document to Tokyo that day, and also sent his own school Bi Jin messenger to Zhao Guan's family to act as a messenger

, the day is almost here, but the husband-in-laws in Tokyo will still be angry and dissatisfied, and even Wan Qixi, an old partner, is worried that he cannot maintain a gentle attitude toward the rear.

This is very frustrating.

However, no matter what happened, when Wan Qixi extended a helping hand without hesitation, Yue Pengju could finally breathe a sigh of relief and continue his military plan, and he was extremely determined... Even though the situation had already changed due to the delay of the refugee affairs.

The same goes for being in a very disadvantageous and stressful situation.

In other words, although there is no specific expectation for this matter, it is almost inevitable that a military plan involving tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of auxiliary troops will have problems.

Yue Pengju cannot be shaken by this, he will only strengthen his determination.

On November 13, the third day after the middle section of the Tian Division arrived at the military camps around Daming City through chaos, the weather became gloomy. This was a good opportunity. Yue Fei, knowing that he could no longer wait, conveyed military orders directly to the various departments in the evening.

After receiving the military order, the first to take action that night was the imperial navy at Malingdu.

Malingdu is located at the mouth of the river less than ten miles upstream of Daming City and Yuancheng City. This is the bifurcation of the East and North Roads of the Yellow River. At this time, many imperial navy ships were suddenly ordered to take action under the cover of night, but most of them were

Confused... There is no way. Most of them, the commanders and commanders, only received the temporary orders today. So many people speculated based on the route and thought they were going to the east to continue to protect the imperial camp's right army.

Retreating.

However, there are always exceptions.

There are three people here in Malingdu who knew the overall plan early. One is Zhang Rong who came to take charge in person, the other is You who organized documents for Zhang Rong when he was in Liangshan (reading letters and writing letters), and is responsible for diplomacy (giving orders at banquets).

Academic... Of course, now it is the counselor who is a Jinshi... The last one, of course, has been prepared for a long time, and after receiving the military order today, he prepared the troops and led the army to the northwest alone. Xiao En.

"What does Lao Xiao have to say?"

Hearing the noise outside, in the village behind the ferry, Zhang Rong, who had been waiting for him for a long time in a certain house, asked directly... After so many years, he could really even recognize the footsteps of You Xuexue.

"What's there to say?" You Xuexue came in and clasped his hands to Zhang Rong, who was sitting on the kang wearing a cotton-padded jacket. "If there's anything to say, it's not him!"

Zhang Rong was speechless and just sighed.

"Besides, we shouldn't have said anything in the first place." Seeing this, You Xuexuu could only continue to clasp his hands to persuade. "The principle of loyalty to the country in the newspaper is not false. Even if you don't say this big thing,

The truth is, the official family patrolled the river the year before last, and you organized the team by clearing out the vegetable monsters. You made it clear that day... What is different today is that when you go home, you should be a good citizen and a wealthy man, and you must abide by the law.

Then you can live in peace, and if you stay, you will serve as a soldier and eat food. To eat food as a soldier, you must obey military orders and abide by military laws, and you must keep your head on your belt..."

"I understand the truth, but I still feel a little sorry for him..." Zhang Rong couldn't help but interrupt the other party, obviously it was still a bit difficult.

"Then don't talk about these principles and just talk about loyalty. Lao Xiao doesn't talk about loyalty?" You Xuexue directly joined his hands and sat next to the other party. "I'm trying to hold back and make it difficult for you... I'll let you go up to it when the time comes.

I'm sorry for the officials, I'm sorry for Marshal Yue, and I'm sorry for the people of Hebei who fled in the winter. They are unfaithful, unjust, unkind and lawless. The banner of justice for heaven has also been taken away. Is he happy? Chief, what are you doing today?

What's going on? Isn't it just selling one's life?! Since we went to Liangshan when we were emperors of Daojun, who cares about our lives? If we are so dead today, is it because the officials don't let the memorial tablet enter the Yuetai, or because you don't support your family?

Why do you look down on your brothers like this? When we had no ideas back then, weren't you the most talkative? Today's situation is so simple, why are you so confused? Are you really used to living a peaceful life?!"

By the end of his words, You Xuexue's tone seemed to have become a little high-pitched.

"What do you know about a Cuoda who can't even pass the Gongsheng Examination?" Zhang Rong was also a little impatient. "Every time there are difficulties, and sometimes there are thoughts... If you really want to tell me, really

I’m used to living a peaceful life...Ten years ago, when the Jin Dynasty first came, all the men and women in our village, big and small, had to work hard to get on the boat. At that time, there was no such problem. The key is
