Chapter 1933 Grandpa Yue - End
"Fuck, Yue Fei is so powerful, can the Song Dynasty fight back?"

"Yue Fei is awesome, Yue Fei is the best in the world!"

"Brothers, you must not think that Yue Fei is a bit like Han Xin. They are both very good at training and leading troops. Their abilities are absolutely first-rate!"

"Come on, he's not as good as Han Xin, the military genius. I think he's about the same as Guan Yu!"

"Damn it! If Zhao Gou hadn't ordered a retreat, I would have taken back all of Guanzhong!"

"My Prime Minister, my Prime Minister, the Guanzhong you longed for so much has clearly been recovered, but it was given away by the Emperor the moment he turned around, wuwuwuwuwu!!!"

"Blow, keep blowing, let's see what you can blow out of Yue Fei."

"Please, although Zhao Gou is a little timid, his strategic vision is still fine, okay? He is right. Although Yue Fei fought fiercely along the way, he did not encounter any real Jin soldiers from beginning to end. He fought against the pseudo-Qi army that did not even have military pay. No matter how many tens of thousands of such rubbish troops there are, as long as there are 1 regular troops, they can be attacked at will!"

"The real elite troops are now stationed in Hebei and have already started to march towards Shaanxi. If Yue Fei does not withdraw, he will have to face the attack of real Jin soldiers in Guanzhong. These are not the Jin soldiers who were busy escaping in Jiangnan before and have completely lost their morale and fighting spirit. They are real Jin soldiers who have been gathering their strength for several years. Only 10,000 of them are enough to defeat Yue Fei's 50,000 troops."

"Fortunately, Zhao Gou gave the order in time and Yue Fei retreated quickly, otherwise if a direct battle really broke out, Yue Fei would be dead!"

Such debates have spread all over social media, completely overshadowing the popularity of Wanyan Jiumei. A large number of netizens are arguing about the combat effectiveness of Yue Fei and his Yue Family Army. Although a small number of people firmly believe that the combat effectiveness of Yue Family Army is enough to fight against real elite soldiers, and that they can defeat the Jin Army with twice the number of Jin soldiers.

But most readers still firmly believe that the Jurchens are invincible if they are 1 strong. As long as there are 5 real Jurchens, no matter whether Yue Fei has an army of 10 or , they will all be doomed.

On the other hand, the Pseudo-Qi State was naturally unwilling to accept such a huge loss. A year later, it gathered 3 troops to attack Xianghuai and Shangzhou. Yue Fei directly launched the third Northern Expedition and defeated the 70 troops in a direct battle. He also successively eliminated more than troops, causing the Pseudo-Qi State to fall into the water and die. The river water turned red.

After this battle, Zhao Gou summoned Yue Fei to his bedroom and gave him the order, saying: "I will entrust you with the task of restoring the country."

This was the peak of the relationship between Yue Fei and Zhao Gou. At this moment, Zhao Gou might really think that Yue Fei was the only person he could trust.

However, all this changed suddenly two years later.

First, Jin Taizong Wanyan Wuqimai eventually died of illness, and the throne was inherited by Wanyan Tan. Wanyan Nianhan, who had been determined to destroy the Song Dynasty, gradually lost power and died in July of that year, and Wanyan Talan's faction began to take power.

This faction did not want to fight, they just wanted to enjoy the wealth. After all, they had already robbed enough wealth from the Song Dynasty over the years. They had been fighting for half their lives, so what was wrong with enjoying themselves a little?
So the Jin Kingdom took the initiative to appeal to the Southern Song Dynasty for peace talks.

On the other hand, Zhao Gou was overjoyed when he got the news. The reason why he promised Yue Fei to recover the Central Plains was because he felt that the Jin Kingdom would definitely destroy him. If he had to die, it would be better to die gracefully.

But when the Kingdom of Jin took the initiative to send the news of peace talks, Zhao Gou immediately gave up all ideas of the Northern Expedition, and then appointed Qin Hui as prime minister and ordered him to go to the Kingdom of Jin for peace talks.

On December 27 of the same year, Qin Hui, as prime minister, knelt at the feet of the Jin envoy on behalf of Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, "presented a letter of allegiance", acknowledged that Song was a vassal of Jin, accepted the land of Henan "granted" by Jin, and paid an annual tribute of 250,000 taels and pieces of silver and silk. The first peace agreement between the Southern Song Dynasty and Jin was reached.

Zhao Gou was overjoyed when he heard the news. He thought it was the first good thing since the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty. The world was finally peaceful and he could live a peaceful life. So he took the initiative to announce a general amnesty to celebrate the success of the peace talks. Yue Fei naturally could not accept this. He wrote to the emperor more than a dozen times to request a northern expedition. At the same time, he said that if he did not agree to the northern expedition, he would be relieved of his military post and let him guard his mother's tomb.

Of course, all of these were rejected by Zhao Gou. In order to appease Yue Fei, he continued to promote him to higher positions and gave him the status of Kaifu Yitong Sansi. However, the rift between the monarch and his minister was unavoidable.

However, Zhao Gou's good days only lasted about a year, because Wanyan Zongbing and Wanyan Woben launched a coup and killed Wanyan Talan and others who advocated peace. Wanyan Zongbing was appointed as the Grand Marshal and concurrently the head of the Executive Secretariat, becoming the new ruler of the Jin Dynasty.

In May of the following year, the Jin Kingdom tore up the contract and ordered the recovery of Henan and Shaanxi. Wanyan Zongbing personally led an army of 2 and marched towards Kaifeng.

These 100,000 troops were all genuine Jurchens. In addition, there were also a million-strong army that attacked the Southern Song Dynasty's defense line from all directions. In an instant, the entire Henan Province that was originally returned to the Southern Song Dynasty due to the peace talks was taken back by the Jin Kingdom. The entire Southern Song Dynasty was instantly shaky and in danger.

Zhao Gou and Qin Hui, the emperor and his minister, had to order the entire army to attack the Jin army after waking up from the dream. They then ordered the three great envoys, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and Yue Fei, to concurrently serve as the envoys of Henan and the northern routes, and promoted them to Taibao, Shao Shi and Shao Bao respectively. This is also the origin of Yue Shao Bao.

At the same time, Zhao Gou promised Yue Fei that he could lead his troops to the north to recover lost territory, and he could fight as far as he could, and he would never be stopped again!
At this time, Yue Fei's army had been training for three years, and the morale and military spirit of the entire army had reached its peak. So Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Zhang Jun led three armies to the north. Yue Fei then led his troops north and went to Caizhou in June.
In the same month, he defeated 10,000 Jin troops in Jingxi Road

In the same month, he defeated 10,000 Jin soldiers in Huaining Prefecture.

In July, he defeated Jin general Han Chang and recovered Xuchang

In the same month, Chenzhou was recovered and an enemy force of 200,000 was defeated.

In the same month, 10,000 Jin cavalrymen attacked Xuchang, defeated the enemy, and captured 3,000 horses.

In August, Luoyang, the Western Capital, was restored.

In less than two months, Yue Fei's 80,000-strong Yue Family Army defeated almost all the Jin troops in Henan. No matter whether they were real Jin soldiers or those signed troops, they only suffered one defeat in front of Yue Family Army and never won.

At the same time, more than 200,000 volunteers in Henan rose up in response to Yue Fei and called him "Grandpa Yue"!

And to the north of the Yellow River, more than 100,000 volunteers also rose up. They all contacted each other and agreed to use the flag with the word "Yue" on it as a signal and "raise the troops on a set date" and wait for Yue Fei's army to cross the river. From the south of Yanshan Mountain, the Jin Dynasty "no longer issued orders."

In less than two months, Yue Fei's troops and the loyal militias he contacted had surrounded Wanyan Zongbing's Dongjing from the south, southwest, west, northwest, north and northeast. Wanyan Zongbing, who had originally come to conquer Henan and completely surround the Southern Song Dynasty, suddenly found that only his own isolated army was left in Kaifeng, and all traffic in and out of Kaifeng was cut off.

Yue Fei has surrounded Wanyan Zongbing in turn!

However, Yue Fei also had a disadvantage at this time. In order to consolidate and occupy the cities in Henan Province, the Yue Family Army, which originally had 8 troops, had to divide its forces to occupy various cities, while also supporting the rebel army north of the Yellow River.

Therefore, these 8 troops have been dispersed to various regions in Henan. Yue Fei's central army has only about 1 troops, stationed in Yancheng, commanding the entire Yue Army in battle.

Upon hearing the news, Wanyan Zongbing was overjoyed and immediately led 15,000 cavalrymen to attack Yancheng, attempting to destroy the command center of Yue's army in one fell swoop.

These 15 cavalrymen were no ordinary troops. Among them, 000 were the most elite Iron Floats in the Jin Army, and another 5000 were Crooked Horses. These were the most terrifying troops in the Jin Army.

The so-called Iron Flotilla are heavy cavalry, including horses. Both men and horses are covered in heavy armor, and cannot be hurt by swords, spears, bows and arrows. They can charge into the battle line and kill the enemy without any damage. A large part of the fear of the Song Dynasty for the Jin soldiers was caused by the Iron Flotilla and the Crooked Horses.

However, heavy cavalry like the Tiefutu were too luxurious. Even the Jin Dynasty only had 5000 of them, and all of them were brought to the battlefield by Wanyan Zongbing.

5000 Iron Pagodas and 1 Crooked Horses were only used to bully Yue Fei's 1-strong army. They also had an absolute advantage in numbers. In this battle, Wanyan Zongbing felt that he could not lose at all.

Fortunately, although Yue Fei had few soldiers and horses around him, he also brought the most elite Beiwei Army and Youyi Army cavalry with him. The Beiwei Army also had only about 5000 people. Facing the elite Jin soldiers, Yue Fei did not panic at all and ordered his son Yue Yun to lead the Beiwei Army to fight against Tiefutu head-on.

Thus, the most dangerous but also the most glorious battle in Yue Fei's life took place. It was also the only battle in the entire Chinese history in which heavy cavalry was defeated by only infantry of the same size in a large-scale battle.

Yue Fei adopted the tactic of "either attacking it from the front or from the side" to deal with the "Crooked Horse". He also selected elite infantrymen armed with machetes, swords, axes and other weapons to specifically chop the feet of the "Iron Floating Figures" to make them lose their power.

The two sides fought for a whole day, from 3 pm until dark. The corpses of the Jin soldiers were everywhere, while Yue's army remained unmoved. The Jin soldiers were finally completely defeated. At this moment, Wanyan Zongbing uttered his most famous cry, "It is easy to shake the mountain, but difficult to shake Yue's army."

After that, the two sides experienced more than a dozen bloody battles. Wanyan Zongbing even tried to gather all the remaining real Jin soldiers to fight Yue Fei. Even the general Yang Zaixing was killed in the battlefield. However, Yue's army did not retreat but advanced. Yue Yun even used 800 cavalry to break through 5000 Jin cavalry head-on, and then cooperated with the infantry to fight from both sides, killing more than Jin soldiers in one breath. Even Wanyan Zongbing's son-in-law died in this battle.

Wanyan Zongbing was completely frightened by the defeat, and finally stationed all the 10 troops he could barely muster in Zhuxian Town, trying to stop Yue's army from entering Kaifeng.

As a result, the 500 Beiwei cavalrymen from the vanguard of Yue Family Army arrived at Zhuxian Town. The two sides only fought once. As soon as Yue Family Army showed their military flag, the 100,000 Jin army collapsed and fled all the way to Kaifeng City with Wanyan Zongbing. Wanyan Zongbing was so scared that he had to give up Kaifeng and prepare to flee back to the north of the Yellow River.

The power of a war, all the way to this
