Chapter 361 Liu Yu's End
Liu Yanzong said: "Now Liu Yu is still in Hebei, and Liu Yu has elite troops in his hands. I wonder how he is doing?"
No matter how well Liu Yu fought, Wanyan Zongwang must quickly send someone to send the battle report of the Battle of Qinghe to Shangjing.
In recent years, the combat effectiveness of the Song Army has increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Wanyan Jing said with a smile: "I think soon, the Song Dynasty will dispatch the Hebei Army to support Shaanxi!"
Liu Yanzong said with emotion: "With coaxing left and right, Xixia finally sent troops, and then it depends on Liu Yu and the Xixia people."
After defeating Liu Lin's army in Qinghe County, Yue Fei did not stop, but summoned a cavalry team and immediately returned to Fucheng.
The remaining rebels who were defeated and fled were handed over to the soldiers sent by Daming Mansion to deal with them.
After all, the number of his cavalry is limited, and it is impossible for such elite cavalry to chase the defeated army all over the world.
If that were the case, it would really be like using a cannon to kill mosquitoes.
After returning to Fucheng, Yue Fei let the troops rest for a few days, and ordered the people below to count the battle merits and fill out applications.
On the night of the 29th, the scouts at the front suddenly came over with information.
"Yue Tongzhi, we found an anomaly in Leshou County on the other side of the Yellow River."
"What's abnormal?"
"The price of food in Leshou County has tripled. Many people in Leshou County cross the river every day and go to Fucheng to buy food."
Zhang Xian noticed something immediately and said, "Is there someone stationing troops in Leshou County?"
There are only tens of thousands of people in a county at most. If food prices have risen so much in a short period of time, it must be because there is not enough food on the market.
Yue Fei said: "Could it be that one winter has passed and the people have insufficient food reserves?"
Zhang Xian said: "There has never been such a sharp rise in Fucheng. In my opinion, it is probably because the Jin Army has troops stationed in Leshou County and has a very large demand for food."
Leshou County is on the other side of the Yellow River, not far from Fucheng.
Wang Gui also said: "I think what Lao Zhang said makes sense, and he will not increase the price for no reason, but Leshou is very close to us, and the scouts have not found the enemy in Leshou for so long. This is unreasonable. Maybe the enemy is not there.
It’s not in Leshou, but it must be near Leshou.”
When Wang Gui said this, everyone suddenly felt enlightened.
Niu Gao said: "It may be the Jin Army. Liu Lin's army first gathered in Shenzhou and moved south to attract our army to support Damingfu. The main force of the Jin Army then crossed the Yellow River from the east to attack the Yongjing Army."
The more people talked, the clearer their thinking became, and they actually guessed the Jin Kingdom's strategy without even realizing it.
Yue Fei said: "Zhang Xian, increase the number of scouts, target the area around Le Shou, conduct extensive inspections, and report immediately if there is any situation!"
"Yes! General Mo will make arrangements right now!"
They didn't know that Liu Yu's 70,000 troops were near Le Shou.
At the beginning, Liu Yu gathered a total of 100,000 people and gave Liu Lin 30,000 to go to Shenzhou to gather a large number of troops to attract attention. He actually left his elite behind and hid them on the other side of the Yellow River, preparing to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Liu Yu has also been paying close attention to his son's movements, and he constantly sends scouts south to find out the latest information.
Liu Yu was drinking in the tent, and he said to his younger brother Liu Yi: "I wonder how Lin'er is doing now."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is prosperous and prosperous, and the Song army is no more than a rotten tree. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have already arrived at Daming Mansion with a large army!"
Liu Yu laughed.
Most of the time, people are like this, always addicted to their own situation and unable to extricate themselves.
Just like now, the chairman of a large company suddenly came and said to an unemployed middle-aged man: I will invest 100 million for you, and you will set up a company. The goal is to go public in three years.
The man naturally agreed, and immediately took the money and started to recruit people. With a wave of his hand, he recruited hundreds of people first.
As for the business this company does, it may be a dead end.
But it doesn’t matter. I have already received an investment of 100 million. Is it okay to give myself an annual salary of one million? Let my wife do the finance. She is a senior talent. Is it okay to give myself an annual salary of 2 million?
If you let your son come to work and tell others that he graduated from Harvard University, who would not believe it?
Is it okay to offer an annual salary of three million?
How does this compare to being unemployed?
Whether the company goes bankrupt or not is secondary.
Liu Yu is in such a state now.
Of course, Liu Yu himself also has ambitions. People's ambitions slowly expand with the success of their careers.
At this time, Liu Yu's appetite was slowly increasing.
He has already thought about it, taking over Hebei East Road and Jingdong East Road, using Jinan Prefecture as the capital to make it bigger and stronger.
At this time, the scouts sent out finally returned.
"Report! Your Majesty!"
As soon as he heard the word "Your Majesty", Liu Yu's face instantly showed an expression like an orgasm.
"Your Majesty! Something bad has happened! Your Majesty!"
Only then did Liu Yu come to his senses: "What's the matter?"
"His Royal Highness, he..."
"What's up with him?"
"He was defeated in Qinghe County!"
"What!" Liu Yu stood up suddenly, "Is the news reliable?"
"We have looked around and verified it with many parties. It is reliable!"
Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, then sat down helplessly and asked, "Where is the prince?"
"He is missing. Some say he was captured by the Song Army. Some say he is dead!"
Liu Yu was furious, smashed his wine glass, and shouted: "If my son makes any mistake, I will personally lead the army and crush Kaifeng!"
Liu Yi immediately said: "Your Majesty, since the Song army defeated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so quickly, they must have mobilized a large amount of military power. We are now taking the opportunity to cross the Yellow River!"
Liu Yu's head got hot and he shouted: "We will cross the Yellow River early tomorrow morning and attack Fucheng first!"
Liu Yi said: "The guard of Fucheng is Yue Fei."
"Isn't that Li Cheng claiming to be very powerful? Let him fight!"
We say that the gap between people is sometimes not that big.
While you are sleeping, others may be talking about clients or working overtime to write project plans.
For example, while Liu Yu was sleeping, Zhang Xian suddenly sent a large number of additional scouts, crossing the Yellow River overnight, with Leshou County as the center, to explore everywhere in the dark.
Many times, the difference between elites and ordinary soldiers is that elites can move forward even in the most difficult times!
Yue Fei's scouts did the same thing, running fast in the dark night.
Finally, the main force of the puppet Qi army was discovered behind a large dense forest fifty miles northeast of Leshou County.
At this time, the firelight in the puppet Qi army camp was very weak, soldiers on duty were walking back and forth, and there were sentries around.
There was even a sentry report saying that some suspicious people were found nearby, but Liu Yi stopped them.
"You are crazy. His Majesty is in a bad mood. He is already sleeping! Everyone, please step aside!"
Chapter completed!
