Chapter 94 Everyone is a Brother

An error occurred while processing s private file

At the early morning of the 28th, Yue Fei received an urgent report from Wang Ju in the Commander General Office that Wang De and Li Qiong would lead the army to surrender. This is good news, very good news. If Wang De and Li Qiong surrender successfully, then Yongqiu will basically be sure to win in the battle.

Sun Ge and Huang Zong were even more excited. They kept their worries all night long, and all their worries were on the front line of Yuxiang. The key to the victory of the great battle was also in this small town on the west bank of the Bian River. Who knew that joy came from the sky, and the main force of the rebels Wang De and Li Qiong surrendered. As a result, the situation of the battle was reversed.

"Can you be sure this is true?" Sun Ge was a little unbelievable, "It's not the rebel's trick, right?"

"Li Qiong and Wang Yan used to be under Liu Zhongwu. Wang De was the nephew of Wang Hou, a famous general in the northwest. These people used to fight in the northwest and had a good relationship with each other." Huang Zong smiled, "If Wang Yan took the initiative to write to Li Qiong and advised him to turn against him and defect to Chang'an, Li Qiong should be moved. After all, now is different from the past. We defeated the Dangxiang people. After the destruction of Western Xia, the three-legged stadium of the world has been shaken. Li Qiong must consider his future. Besides, his family has received good care in the northwest, so he has indeed reason to turn to Chang'an."

"I believe that Wang De and Li Qiong's surrender came from sincerity." Yue Fei said, "Chang'an changed the national policy and improved the status of military generals. Liu Yanqing and Zhe Keqiu became central officials. Yang Keshi, Yang Weizhong, Wang Yuan and others also held high positions. In contrast, none of the northwestern people in Jiangning were highly valued. At this time of crisis, Jiangning still suppressed military people and used culture to build military military forces. Even if the military generals have made great achievements, they will not have a chance to make a comeback. This will be a big blow to military generals. Compared with the two, people like Wang De and Li Qiong are of course willing to defect to Chang'an. They can not only reunite with their families, but also be promoted and promoted. Who wouldn't want to do such a good thing?"

Sun Ge and Huang Zong nodded repeatedly. "In the past few days, interests represent everything." Sun Ge sighed, "Qian Dinggong from Hebei, Liu Yu from Shandong, and a large group of civil and military officials and generals are even willing to surrender to the Jurchens and be the dog of the foreigners. In the final analysis, it is not for the sake of their own selfish interests."

Yue Fei shook his hand and signaled not to say these nonsense. "Wang De, Li Qiong is worried about the long night and dreams, and hopes to join as soon as possible. However, considering that the Jin army is still in Dingtao, there are more than 400 miles away from Kaifeng, and Liu Yanqing, Lu Junyi and Hu Litao's troops have not arrived in Kaifeng yet. Kaifeng's defense forces are not enough, so I plan to postpone the time when Wang De and Li Qiong join."

Sun Ge and Huang Zong looked at each other but didn't say anything.

"Xinxingzong has 50,000 troops, and may break through at any time." Yue Fei continued, "Zhang Jun also has 50,000 or 60,000 troops, and will advance to the Yuxiang line at any time. If Xinxingzong begins to break through today, all units of our army will definitely block it with all their might, and there will be no more troops to block Zhang Jun. Therefore, Wang De and Li Qiong continue to insist on attacking Yuxiang, delaying Zhang Jun's advancement speed will be very beneficial to our army's reinforcement of the siege of Xinxingzong."

Sun Ge looked at the map and thought for a long time, saying to Yue Fei, "Tong, the attack speed of the Jin army is very fast. It is completely different from our previous expectations. Can we think so that Wanyan Talan is worried about the failure of the Southeast Rebels, so he attacks quickly to show his determination to attack and open the seal, and then strengthen the confidence of the Southeast Rebels. If the Jin army gave up attacking Dingtao and Jiyin, bypassed the city, and killed the city directly under Kaifeng, those four days would be enough. From this idea, should we solve the Southeast Rebels as quickly as possible?"

"The situation on the Yongqiu battlefield has reversed. We should seize this fleeting opportunity and attack decisively, first solve the Southeast rebels, and then mobilize a large army to attack the Guangjiqu line and surround the Jin army." Huang Zong continued Sun Ge's words, "In four days, except for the northwest Yang Keshi's troops, all other troops can arrive in Kaifeng. We have the conditions to surround the Jin army, so I think there is no need to worry about the Jin army retreating halfway. At this moment, Lin Shuai and Han Shuai should speed up the retreat speed at the Guangjiqu line, pretending that the main force has been restrained by the Southeast rebels, and Kaifeng's defensive power is seriously insufficient, and then quickly lure the Jin army to the city of Kaifeng."

Yue Fei frowned deeply and focused his thoughts.

Sun Ge and Huang Zong mean to take advantage of the opportunity of Wang De and Li Qiong surrendering to resolve the Southeast rebels within four days. This is too risky. Once the mistake is made, the Tiger Lie Army may fall into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides. However, if it is dragged on, there is a very likely event that is unfavorable to our side in the Yongqiu battlefield, and the Tiger Lie Army may miss the great opportunity to defeat the Southeast rebels.

After weighing the pros and cons, Yue Fei still did not dare to take too much risk. He rejected Sun Ge and Huang Zong's proposal and chose a compromise method, which was to lure the Jin army in first. The goal of this battle was to completely annihilate or severely damage the Jin army, rather than the Southeast rebels. In a desperate situation, Yue Fei would rather let Xin Xingzong break through than to miss the opportunity to siege and kill the Jin army.

Yue Fei urgently told Lin Chong, Han Shizhong, and the Yongqiu battlefield had changes that were beneficial to his side. He had the possibility of defeating the Southeast rebels in the short term. In order to lure the Jin army into the trap as soon as possible, Yue Fei asked them to give up the line between Dingtao and Jiyin and set up a defense and blockade in Wanting. Wanting is located at the junction of Kaifeng and Jingdong. Yue Fei hoped that Han Shizhong would personally lead the front-selling army to stay here. First, to win more time to annihilate the enemy on the Yongqiu battlefield, and second, to deceive the Jin army, so as not to suspect that the Tiger and Lieutenant Army had problems, which led to them not daring to continue to enter.

Yue Fei asked Sun Ge to rush to Yongqiu with orders. He also negotiated with Wang De and Li Qiong on his behalf to determine the time and specific methods of surrender.

On the morning of the 28th, Yuxiang Battlefield.

Under the supervision of Lu Yi, Wang De and Li Qiong commanded the army to launch an attack, while Wang Jue commanded the armies of Liu Xi and Zhang Jun to block the attack. The two sides fought fiercely, but they had a tacit understanding. The Southeast Army advanced step by step, while the Tiger and Lie Army slowly retreated. After one day of attack, the Southeast Army advanced five miles, with impressive results.

Lu Yi discovered the problem. In such a fierce battle, casualties were minimal. This was simply a miracle. It was impossible for such a miracle on the battlefield. The only explanation was that the two sides had a tacit understanding.

Lu Xi was a civil servant. He served as a military commander and deputy envoy of the two routes of Jingyuan, Huanqing. Later, he served as the military commander under Tong Guan's account and became Tong Guan's confidant and participated in the expedition and suppression of Fang La. Later, Tong Guan was left in Jiangnan to serve as the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the Central Plains. This time, Zhang Jun went to the front line of the Central Plains, and he assisted him as the deputy envoy of the Propaganda and Fu, in fact, instead of Tong Guan to monitor and support Zhang Jun, the people on the front line.

Lu Yi had a bad premonition. He even thought that Wang De and Li Qiong might betray Jiang Ning, but he had no evidence and could not make any guesses out of thin air. Now Zhang Jun has an objection to Wang De and Li Qiong and plans to hold them accountable after this battle. Although Tong Guan was admonished, he would definitely be demoted. The conflict between the two sides was already very deep. If he told Zhang Jun about the suspicion of today's battle, the consequences can be imagined. In order to ensure safety, Zhang Jun must transfer the two from the front line, and the two will never hand over the army, which is equivalent to forcing Wang De and Li Qiong to rebel.

At dusk, the Southeast army stopped attacking.

Lu Yi originally wanted to warn Wang De and Li Qiong, but he was afraid that his suspicion would be true. If it was true, Wang De and Li Qiong would betray Jiang Ning. At this moment, his warning would be like seeking death. Wang De and Li Qiong would never let him leave the front line alive.

"I will go to Xuanfu Department to report to Zhang Xuanfu to today's battle situation." Lu Yi carefully tentatively, "Are you willing to go with me? Is it Wang Shuai or Li Shuai?"

"I won't go." Wang De refused.

"I've been fighting for a day and I'm so tired. Have a meal first and then talk about it after dinner." Li Qiong said with a smile, "This place is only more than thirty miles away from Xuanfusi. Why are you in a hurry?"

"Since neither of you wants to go, I will leave first." Lu Xi said with a smile, "Tomorrow, Zhang Xuanfu and I will lead the army to the front line and attack with the two of you. We will strive to meet Xin Shuai tomorrow night."

"Eat first." Li Qiong took a step forward and grabbed Lu Yi's arm, "Tonight, I will accompany you to Xuanfusi."

Lu Yi politely refused, but Li Qiong just refused to let go. While pulling, Lu Yi suddenly saw Wang De's eyes showing fierce light, and he had already held the knife in his right hand. Lu Yi was secretly shocked and dared not persevere, so he followed Li Qiong into the military tent.

Late at night on the 28th, Li Qiong and Wang Ju met in front of the two armies, and Yue Fei's march Sima Sun Ge was also accompanied by Wang Ju.

Yue Fei agreed to all the conditions proposed by Wang De and Li Qiong. Needless to say, the promotion and title were promoted, and promised that the two would continue to command the army, but their troops must be reorganized into the Tiger and Lie Army, which was the only condition proposed by Yue Fei.

Li Qiong was overjoyed. He didn't expect things to go so well, but he was worried that he would have many dreams at night and asked to surrender overnight.

"So anxious?" Wang Shi was surprised to see Li Qiong's impatient look, "Does Zhang Jun suspect you? He is on the front line today?"

"Zhang Jun is in Xuanfu Department, and Lu Yi is supervised by the war on the front line." Li Qiong sneered, "You know Lu Yi, after all, he is the one who commands the army and fights. We have been fighting a tacit understanding for a day today, how could we hide it from his eyes?"

"Does he doubt you?"

"He was anxious to go back to Xuanfusi, and obviously had suspicion of us." Li Qiong said, "We have detained him in case, but tomorrow Zhang Jun will bring the army to the front line, so we must come tonight."

Wang Ju and Sun Ge were hesitant. Everything was inconclusive. If this was a trap, Wang De and Li Qiong's 30,000 troops were enough to give the Tiger Lieutenant Army a heavy blow, so the Tiger Lieutenant Army must be prepared for prevention before the two surrendered, but now the Tiger Lieutenant Army has no time to prepare.

"Wang Shuai doesn't believe us?" Li Qiong was a little unhappy.

"We are all brothers, let's be honest." Wang Ju said bluntly, "Of course we are happy when you come here, but we always have to make some preparations, you should understand this."

"I understand, but I don't have time to wait." Li Qiong said, "Did Xinxingzong attack today? If he hasn't attacked today, he will definitely break through tomorrow, and Zhang Jun will also go to Yuxiang tomorrow. Do you have time to prepare tomorrow?"

Xin Xingzong did not attack today, he was waiting for reinforcements. Two days passed and the reinforcements had not arrived yet, so he would not wait any longer. He would not give his life to someone like Zhang Jun.

Wang Ju smiled bitterly and shook his head, looking at Sun Ge, asking Sun Ge to make an idea.
