Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1640
Can Digunai sit idly by?Obviously it was impossible. Sa Lihe led his army to Taizhou, but he had no strength to attack. The reason was that the Song army marched northward.

At this time, Wang Xiu was relieved, the strategic goals were all achieved, the first and second battalions were completely dispersed, and Yue Fei controlled the northward movement.

In fact, the bodyguard water army had already occupied the southern part of Jinzhou, and the first battalion moved eastward from Jizhou and went northward to reach the military states, which strengthened its strength.The second battalion launched an offensive to the north of Jeju, and the Huyi northern battalion was officially included in the ranks of the northern guards. Yue Fei became the commander-in-chief of the three battalions, which can be regarded as the pinnacle of his life.

Pei Mantu Luhu and Shi Lige had no way to resist. They organized a defense in Jiugongling, but they were defeated by the Song Army, and they were defeated in Zezhou Shenshan. .

When they withdrew into Yizhou, Dading Mansion, Xingzhong Mansion, and Li, Jian, and Ze states were successively recovered by the Song Army, and all the Jin Army who dared to resist were resolutely wiped out.Since then, the entire Wuping County has not been restored, and the entire Dadingfu Road has been completely restored.

Yue Fei wanted to continue going north. He launched a campaign to attack Yizhou with more than [-] troops from Wang De and Niugao. The battle broke out in Yimin County. The captured army attacked Xiankang Town.

Facing the murderous intent of the Song Army, Pei Mantu Land Rover had no way out. He could only gather [-] cavalry and more than [-] infantry to fight back. The two sides fought fiercely.

Zhang Guo went out of Yizhou, which shocked Di Gunai a lot, and made him really feel the feeling of losing the alliance. He immediately sent Alan to lead the main force to go south to monitor the possible attack of the Song army.

Anyone will understand that if the Song army takes Yizhou and Guangning mansions, the next target must be Liaoyang mansion. Tarlan, who is active on Posu Road, will inevitably join forces with Shi Hao, Chen Qingxiao and others to move westward, and then Liaoyang will be attacked on both sides. .

Now, he has no choice but to yell at Wang Xiu for losing the alliance. He can't say that he colluded with the Southern Dynasty to usurp the throne. Rumors are one thing, but admitting it publicly is another. The power will collapse in an instant, and this bowl of bitter wine has to be swallowed quietly.

Wang Xiu was very comfortable. He didn't need to worry about the battlefield anymore. It was just a sweeping battle. It would be good if he could win Yizhou and Liaoyang. It doesn't matter if he can't take it temporarily. internal relations.

However, in the past few days, his thoughts have changed a little. He summoned Feng Yuan, Zhang Zongyan and Yu Yunwen, and said straight to the point: "The army has a sharp edge on its back. I'm afraid it will be feared by the captives. It's not good for me."

"What your lord said is that if you are in a hurry, you will unite. This force is not small." Yu Yunwen also felt the same way.

"Sir, stay in Liaoyang for the time being, and don't attack Yizhou." Feng Yuan said indifferently. His eleventh battalion was stationed in Yanshan, and he often followed Wang Xiu. Watch the dragons and tigers fighting in the north.

Zhang Zongyan was also considered to be following Wang Xiu, well aware of his temperament, and cautiously said: "My lord, Taiwei Yue has prepared for a long time, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid of what. Could it be that you will violate Xuanfu's order?" Feng Yuan said displeasedly. He often heard that Yue Fei was not very respectful to Wang Xiu, and he was very displeased with him.

"That's not true, I'm afraid there will be suspicions in my heart." Zhang Zongyan knew that Feng Yuan was an upstart in the army, a future top candidate in the Forbidden Army, and a core figure in the Wangmen's strength. He didn't want to offend easily.

"When you violate the general policy during the war, you should stop it decisively. If you are a handsome man, if you can't understand the calculations of the temple, you might as well be the deputy general manager." Feng Yuan commented very bluntly.

"Okay, the situation is so good, it's a pity to give up, and it's justifiable." Wang Xiu glanced at Feng Yuan, and said: "There is some truth in what you said, the way of a general is nothing more than carrying out the calculations of the imperial court. But you can’t live your life blindly.”

"Your Excellency, you must give an order, and there must be no room for negotiation." Yu Yunwen said resolutely.

"By the way, when will Duan Shouyu return?" Wang Xiu didn't respond, but asked something off topic instead.

"My lord, Duan Shouyu will arrive outside the city tomorrow." Yu Yunwen, as an opportune text, still needs to know various information.

The war against gold was basically over, and Duan Shouyu, as the supreme envoy of the envoy, was considered to have completed his meritorious deeds, causing Qi Yan and Ke Lie's vitality to be seriously injured.

Wang Xiu nodded and said with admiration: "He has done a good job, at least adding more than ten years of preparation time for the court."

Feng Yuan's heart moved, his eyes flashed with hot light, it seemed that he could still catch up with another big battle.

"My lord, the power ahead is too heavy, and it should be adjusted." Yu Yunwen once again expressed his suggestion on the general's power and responsibility.

Wang Xiushen took it for granted, not to mention that the main force was concentrated in Yue Fei's hands, it was inconvenient for him to interfere in the front military affairs, and it also caused Yue Fei to be too independent, which often violated the imperial court's major policy.Not only that, the war is basically over, and the Northern Guards still retain such a huge force, which will obviously be used by the government and the opposition, and a lot of money will be wasted.

He thought for a while, and said in a gentle voice: "The township army doesn't need so many. The imperial army can also retreat and spread out in Hebei and Hedong to restore order, but we have to make a good idea."

"Your Excellency, it is absolutely possible to downsize two battalions and reduce the number of forbidden troops by half. It is actually not complicated." Zhang Zongyan joined the army as a general, so he naturally had to take specific measures.

"Let's listen to it." Wang Xiu didn't expect Zhang Zongyan to speak, and it seemed that he had a claim. It seemed that this guy usually had a heart.

"Excuse me, Taiwei Feng." Zhang Zongyan greeted Feng Yuan with fists, and said, "The Eleventh Row Battalion, the First Row Battalion, and the Northern Tiger Wing Battalion can all be abolished, leaving the second row camp in Yanshan and Hebei, and the fourth row camp in Yanshan and Hebei. In Hedong and Yunzhong, two cavalry troops, one chariot army, and three infantry commanders were retained, and [-] township troops were reviewed. The northern servants divided three areas, and each usually had an infantry stationed. The horse army and the chariot troops For preparation, if something happens, we can quickly gather strength..."

Wang Xiu understood what Zhang Zongyan meant, and also knew that the other party had made up their minds to use three armies to guard the border, with cavalry troops in Hedong and Hebei, and chariot troops stationed in Yanshan. This mobile defense system has advantages and disadvantages.

"I think it's good. At least half of the Imperial Army can be withdrawn, saving a lot of money and food." Feng Yuan didn't care about it at all when the Eleventh Battalion was disbanded. Transferring an army from the West Guard to go north can make up for the lack of troops on Yunzhong Road."

"Very good, you draw it carefully again, by the way, Binpu, send Guantang to Yue Pengju, and stop the war against Liaoyang." Wang Xiu made up his mind.
