Chapter 150
After Wan Yanchang was confused in Texas, it was not without resistance, but he didn't even know where the problem was.
The situation reported below is: I am working with my own people.
Wan Yanchang: Do you think I’m a fucking idiot? You’re going to fight your own people to the death, killing thousands of people? Huh? It kind of rhymes!
After Wan Yanchang tried to remedy the situation to no avail, he just picked up his pants and ran away.
Coincidentally, Wan Yanchang in history was also a very capable commander with great military exploits.
But he later became an outright peacemaker in the Jin court.
Why?
His first defeat was against a Liang Shanbo fisherman named Zhang Rong.
Moreover, Zhang Rong only used dozens of small boats to defeat Wanyanchang's thousands of elite soldiers.
According to official history, at the same time that Wanyan Wushu was beaten by Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, Wanyan Chang was severely beaten again in Huaidong.
Later, Wan Yanchang witnessed the Jin army crossing the river being rubbed by Niu Gao.
It was under such circumstances that Wanyanchang watched the military strength of the Southern Song Dynasty skyrocket, and then transformed into a peace faction. Later, he went together with Wanyan Zongpan, the begging son of Jin Emperor Wanyan Wu, and started to engage in trouble in the Jin Dynasty court.
matter.
This time, Zhao Ning stirred up the overall situation. Although Wan Yanchang did not go south to the Yangtze River, he was defeated by Yue Fei here.
what to do?
Of course, he should evacuate north quickly, escape back to Hejian Mansion, and then write a letter to Wanyan Zongwang.
That’s right, write a letter to Wanyan Zongwang!
Wan Yanchang was relatively close to Zong Wang. He was not originally a staunch believer in destroying the Song Dynasty, but was in the same camp as Zong Wang.
Now that he has suffered a defeat, only Zong Wang can save him.
He even thought of the reasons for the defeat: It was all Zong Fu's fault. He was the one who allowed himself to stay behind in the Yongjing Army, but he rashly went deep in, only to be outflanked by the Song Army!
I don’t care, it’s Zongsuke’s fault!
Needless to say, Wan Yanchang's fighting state was unstable and he sometimes collapsed, but he was definitely not bad at playing politics.
After being defeated this time, he could immediately think of the key person who saved him.
Obviously he has a clear view of the current political situation in the Jin Dynasty.
As the main war faction grew bigger, Jin Emperor Wanyan Wu sometimes had to listen to Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zonghan when begging for money.
Wanyan Wu Qimai wanted to make his eldest son Wanyan Zongpan the crown prince, but he didn't even dare to mention it.
The structure of the court was so crooked that Wanyan Wu Qimai must support Zong Wang to check and balance Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zonghan.
Wan Yanchang was defeated and ran away cursing.
Yue Fei gained a lot this time. He not only defeated more than 20,000 Jin troops in one battle, killed thousands of people, but also captured tens of thousands of people and obtained 7,000 war horses.
In addition, Wanyanchang's son-in-law, Pupucha Hubalu, the captain of ten thousand men, was captured. This may be the third battle between Song and Jin Dynasties. The Song army captured an enemy general whose rank was second only to Wanyan Huonv.
Zongfu was completely unaware of the changes on the Eastern Front on March 4th.
Zongfu, I guess, has a very good character. He is righteous, honest and trustworthy. Compared with other generals of the Jin Army, he is also kinder. His combination of kindness and power on the Eastern Front is also quite effective.
But it's just bad luck.
He didn't know that Wan Yanchang was out of control. He had originally planned to withdraw his troops to Dongping Prefecture, then to Jinan Prefecture, and then all the way back to Hejian Prefecture.
But the surrender letter Zhao Ji gave him made him change his route. He thought that since the Song Dynasty had issued an edict to cede territory and pay compensation, there was no rush.
So we set out from Xuzhou to the northeast, first to Yizhou, then to Mizhou, and circled around the boundary of Qingzhou.
His original intention was to demonstrate the strength of the Jin army in the land of Qilu and cooperate with Liu Yu, so that many officials of the Song Dynasty in the land of Qilu would surrender quickly and obediently, so as to urge Duke Yansheng of the Confucius Mansion to cooperate with Liu Yu.
But he didn't expect that he had missed the best opportunity to withdraw his troops.
On the fifth day of March, Ma Kuo, who was collecting intelligence in Dongping Prefecture, was the first to find out that a war seemed to be happening in Texas, so he went there to spy on the information himself.
He took several people dressed as ordinary people who were forced to deliver food to the Jin army and went to the "Jin Camp" to spy. As a result, the people inside rejected their food very enthusiastically.
He also said that it was Yue Tongzhi who said that anyone who dared not take advantage of the people would be punished by military law.
Only then did Ma Kuo realize that these people wearing the armor of the Jin Army were the Song Army!
He immediately asked someone to make up an identity, sent information to the Song army on the way, and left in a hurry.
The people below told Zhang Xian this information first, but Zhang Xian was doubtful and ran to find Yue Fei.
"Tongzhi Yue, a few people came to deliver meals at noon. They said that the main force of the Jin army was in Yizhou and that they were heading towards Mizhou."
Yue Fei asked strangely: "Did the other party say who he was?"
"I didn't say anything. I just said it was news from Licheng (Jinan City) in Jinan Prefecture."
Yue Fei thought for a moment and said: "Send scouts to Mizhou, Qingzhou and Jinan quickly to find out the news and make reports at any time."
"yes!"
Time flew by so fast that it was already the seventh day of March. Zongfu’s army passed through Mizhou and arrived in Qingzhou.
At this time, Yue Fei's scouts were snooping around.
Zongfu also sent some people around the state capital to spy on the news.
The problem arises here. Zongfu's spying now is not to spy on the Song Army's intelligence, but to inquire about the situation among the people and prepare to take over Jingdong East Road.
This is the promise given by Zhao Ji, the place where he deceives people, and it can also be said that the place where Wan Yanchang deceives people.
What's even more deceptive about Wan Yanchang is that after Yue Fei pretended to be a Jin army and attacked Wan Yan Chang, he continued to pretend to be a Jin army without revealing the whereabouts of the Song army at all.
As a result, there were rumors among the people that there was a war in Texas, but Master Wang was nowhere to be seen. Many people thought it was just a rumor in Texas.
Since it is a rumor, the news has never reached Jinan Prefecture, and no one has gone out of its way to verify it.
In this troubled time, everyone can do one less thing.
It can be said from the current situation that Yue Fei was still hiding in the dark until March 10, when the scouts reported that the main force of the Jin army was advancing from Qingzhou to Jinan Prefecture.
When Yue Fei heard the news, he immediately stood up: Here is the opportunity!
On that day, Yue Fei left a thousand men and horses in Dezhou and led 3,000 cavalry himself. He continued to disguise himself as the Jin Army and went into battle lightly. Each man brought ten days of food and grass and quickly rushed towards Jinan Prefecture.
Prepare to set up camp near Jinan Prefecture to sneak attack Wanyan Zongfu.
At this time, Liu Yu was actively promoting his emperor's career on Jingdong East Road. Wanyan Zongfu heard more news that many officials on Jingdong East Road believed that the Song Dynasty was about to end, and they were all preparing to surrender to Liu Yu.
Generally speaking, Liu Yu is obsessed with his dream of being emperor, and Zong Fu is obsessed with his illustrious military exploits.
I have no idea what Yue Fei was doing in Jinan at this time.
On March 13, Zongfu's army entered the borders of Jinan Prefecture.
On this day, a scout finally came to report that there was a big battle in Dezhou seven days ago, and it was said that many Jin soldiers were killed.
When Zong Fu asked in detail, the scouts could not give any details. Some scouts said that this might be a folk rumor, made up by the Song army in order to improve their military morale.
Zong Fu didn't take it seriously. After all, within the scope of his knowledge, with Wan Yanchang's military strength, as long as he didn't attack Cangzhou, it was enough to run rampant in Qilu. It was impossible for the Song army to defeat him.
