Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 343
As soon as Liu Yu was dethroned, the Yue Family Army who had already begun to surround him on three sides was naturally placed in front of the coach Jin Wushu.

Liu Yu's and Puppet Qi's army was vulnerable, and now it was the Dajin soldiers under his command who were fighting Yue's army head-on.According to the deployment, there are [-] soldiers and horses coming to Lianghe, and the rest of the army is distributed in Sichuan, Shanxi and Datong, Shanxi, in order to truly "autumn siege".

Jin Wushu convened a meeting of generals, and now it will wither, so some surrendered generals of the Song Dynasty were also able to attend the discussion.The Jurchen discussed matters neatly, and everyone expressed their opinions, but most of them were silent and did not advocate the use of troops at this time, especially in the face of the ever-victorious Yue family army, no one dared to be the vanguard.Only the King of Dragon and Tiger was very active in Su Hesu. He said: "I have found out that Qin Hui, a former captive of Da Jin, has entered the Song Dynasty cabinet. This person is cowardly and cowardly, and he must secretly help Da Jin. Da Jin uses troops and is good at riding and shooting. , went to war in autumn and winter, and retreated in summer. I also discovered that the Song soldiers did not have a large number of troops in Henan. Although the Yue family army is known as a good fighter, they have no horses and lost their advantage. In the whole of Shaanxi, even if Yue Pengju sent troops to fight, he would be helpless..."

This suggestion was in line with Jin Wushu's heart, clapping his hands and saying loudly: "This plan is very good, let's make this decision!"

After the meeting, Han Chang hesitated, and Jin Wushu called his ranking affectionately like the Han people's habit: "Han Shiba, what else do you want?"

Han Chang no longer hesitated, and advised, "The villain has followed the fourth prince for many years, and he has never had any second thoughts. But now the military power of Dajin is very different from when he first entered the Central Plains. Today's Song army is as brave as me. army; and our army's cowardice is just like the Song army in the past. The fourth prince insists on using troops, and the villain thinks that there is only harm and no benefit..."

These words were originally harsh words, but Jin Wushu still didn't like them.In the contest with Jin Guozong Han, Gu Shen and other important political opponents, he has won a complete victory. At this moment, he is completely "one person under ten thousand people", except that he does not have the title of "Wolf Lord". .1!Just when you are full of ambition, how can you hear Jin Hanchang's words?

Han Chang was silent, and boldly spoke up again: "Earlier, Liu Yu's 20 army was defeated like a mountain, and the Yue family's army is gaining momentum. If we confront them head-on at this front, it will be inevitable..."

Jin Wushu saw that he had never used troops to fight first, and he was angry, but he still stabilized his emotions: "How can Han Shiba be so ambitious for the enemy to destroy his own prestige? How can Liu Yu's stragglers and mobs compete with our Dajin warriors?" Compare?"

Although Jin Wushu is known as the number one "corporate of courtesy and virtuousness" in Dajin, he is actually very conceited in his heart. Especially, he believes that Zong Han and others are lazy and arrogant to a large extent because of the failures in the past. For mutual help.Now, I am in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and I already have the absolute right to dispatch. With such a deadly enemy at this time and opportunity, how can I stop without a real confrontation face to face?

Although the country has already determined the strategy for the peace talks, the basis of the peace talks is to use the absolute military superiority of Dajin to suppress the other party. Only in this way can Zhao Deji be completely afraid and get the greatest benefit.Besides, he has another consideration that Han Chang does not know. No matter how powerful Ren Yue Pengju is, he is subject to the constraints of the Song Dynasty: the compromise policy of Zhao Deji, Qin Hui, etc. will gradually be reflected. How much?In contrast, he is in charge of the Marshal of the capital, and there is no worry in dispatching the army. If he doesn't fight now, when will he wait?

Han Chang couldn't persuade him any more, so he had to back down disgruntled.

Jin Wushu waited for him to retreat, then looked at his right hand, and smiled triumphantly: "Hua Rong, you vicious woman took this prince's death certificate, do you know that this prince doesn't need this thing at all now?" ? Instead of waiting to be forgiven by others, why not control life and death yourself?"

The news of Liu Yu's demotion was naturally known to Song Guo soon.After Zhao Deji ascended the throne, he received the "olive branch" of peace talks from the Jin Kingdom for the first time. It is conceivable that he was overjoyed and immediately summoned the prime minister Zhang Jun and others to discuss.He first announced the death of Song Huizong with tears streaming down his face, and all the ministers cried immediately after hearing this.These people were basically not the former ministers of Song Huizong, but according to the usual practice, Zhao Deji cried, and he and others had to cry, but they really didn't have much affection for Song Huizong, they couldn't shed tears at all, they could only cover their eyes and howl.

Zhao Deji didn't know whether it was out of kinship or affectation, but he cried with sincerity. After crying for a long time, he gave an order: "Since the captives agreed to return the Queen Mother, I will not hesitate to say kind words and measure the material resources of the Song Kingdom to make a big deal." The Heart of Gold..."

Zhang Jun couldn't help but report: "Now that Yue Pengju is fighting in Lianghe and defeating Liu Yu's army, now it's time for a decisive battle with the fourth prince. I think it's better to defeat the fourth prince first, and maybe we will have more capital to talk about..."

Several other ministers also supported the proposal. At this time, Qin Hui had not yet grasped the real power and was not in the limelight, so he just said a few words in a casual manner.Zhao Deji has relied heavily on Yue Pengju these years. Although he was afraid that the confrontation between Yue Pengju and the fourth prince would anger the Jinren, but according to his experience in the past few years since he ascended the throne, the peace talks really need victory as a guarantee. After thinking about it, he said: "Fight as appropriate!"

Qin Hui was overjoyed, and immediately realized the weight of the word "discretionary". He knew that as long as Zhang Jun, who was an eyesore, went away, the disturbing Northern Expedition would not end well.

The Yue Family Army already stationed in Yuanting County naturally knew the news of Liu Yu's dethronement and Jin Wushu's army's southward invasion.Everyone was very excited, Yue Pengju immediately deployed all the generals to fight.

On this day, the Song Army had to report that about 4000 small forwards of the Jin Army were stationed along the Yellow River in Jingkui, and the Yue Family Army immediately sent a general, Niu Gao, to fight.This 4000-man army was exactly what Jin Wushu dispatched after the occupation of Kaifeng. Hu Xuan, a brother of Wanyan Tuhesu, was temporarily appointed as the commander-in-chief. Their task was to occupy distant prefectures and counties.Hu Xuan didn't encounter any resistance from Song's soldiers along the way, but he still didn't dare to relax his guard. This night, two centurions each led 50 people to watch the night, and the others slept peacefully.

Niu Gao's men and horses attacked in the middle of the night, and he broke into the enemy's formation with two knives. According to military discipline, the people did not make a sound, but slashed and killed. The Jin army was still asleep and could not organize an effective resistance. land, running around.

Hu Xuan was very brave. With his upper body naked, he got on his horse and resisted. Niu Gao shouted and swung his swords forward. , chopped off his head with a knife.

When Tu He quickly got the news, he was very sad, and said angrily: "Nanman killed his own brother, I swear to avenge this." Jin Wushu ordered him to lead his army forward, and sent [-] soldiers from Han Chang in addition. Thousands of troops.

Han Changjun and Song Jun fought, and saw a man riding a yellow horse criss-crossing the enemy line, and a man wearing a crimson Yue Family Army uniform, but the bow and arrow in his hand was very different from other sergeants.

Seeing this person's familiar figure, he was stunned, and in the melee, he shot an arrow at him.Han Chang couldn't dodge it, the small arrow pierced through the iron helmet on his head, and hit his right eye through the eye patch.

He let out a scream, covered his eyes and fell to the ground. Song Jun captured the king first and chased after him immediately. Han Chang woke up in severe pain, and the man on the horse turned out to be Hua Rong—his shooter at the sea and the Kingdom of Jin. At the willow festival, everyone has seen her archery.

He was timid to fight, let alone dared to fight, and immediately led his troops to break through.

Jin Wushu, who was waiting for the situation of the battle, saw that Han Chang was defeated and fled back, his eyes were donating blood, and he was furious: "Han Shiba, who shot you like this?"

Han Chang knelt down, the blood in his eyes was still running down his fingers: "Fourth Prince, it was Yue Pengju's wife Hua Rong who crippled his own eyes!"

Hua Rong, a woman who gave birth to a son, is not at home to care for her husband and raise her son, so what is she doing on the battlefield?Thinking of her husband and wife fighting side by side, how proud they looked, his heart was burning with anger, Jin Wushu jumped up and jumped on his horse: "When the crown prince goes to fight Hua Rong himself, let's see how good she is!"

............................................................

The camp of the Yue Family Army.

At dusk, several generals came in, and a young general of Liu Bao reported back, saying that he was short of bows and arrows after fighting for days.This is a fact, due to the protracted battle, the replenishment of arrows is simply too late.

Yue Pengju convened his staff to discuss matters, and everyone hesitated.Hua Rong smiled and said: "I have a plan." She has been in the army for many years, and she made great contributions in the Miao-Liu Mutiny. Everyone knows, so they asked: "Madam Guo, what is the plan?"

"During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from straw boats. We can't do it on such a large scale, but we can consider it along the Yellow River."

Yu Peng stroked his hands: "Ma'am, this plan is very clever."

Yue Pengju also nodded, agreed with his wife's idea, and immediately ordered: "Yang Qin and Huang Zuo come out."

Both of them were incorporated into the Yue Family Army after they surrendered during the Dongting Water Battle.Yue Pengju said: "The two of you are proficient in water warfare, immediately arrange ships to stand by."

"Yes."

In order to avenge his brother, Tu He quickly marched forward with an army.On this day, he camped on the river bank in front of Jingkui.For fear of being attacked, the soldiers were divided into two halves, taking turns on duty and taking turns to rest.When I was on the road at dawn, I saw 20 Song soldiers riding fast horses in front of me rushing forward, with crimson clothes all over the road, and they shot with their horses bent and bows.Two Jin soldiers fell to the ground, but the group immediately turned around and chased after them.Tuhe quickly sent a centurion to lead his men in pursuit. When they arrived in the woods ahead, they were ambushed by Song soldiers, who shot arrows at them, 22 soldiers fell down immediately, and others fled injured.When the Tuhesu army arrived, the ambushed Song army had already drifted along the Yellow River along the way.

This Song army has a total of 12 small boats, and the boats are covered with cow felt grass.At the sudden speed, Dajin launched troops to chase along the river bank, and the Song army raised their shields to resist, so there were no casualties.After shooting for an hour, the cow felt grass was densely covered with arrows, like twelve huge hedgehogs.

Tu He Suo had no choice but to watch the fleet go down the river. He was furious and ordered everyone: "Immediately search the distant cities and slaughter them regardless of men, women, or children to avenge this great hatred."

The Jin army was ordered to search in the three towns far away, but they only killed dozens of villagers who had no time to escape, and could not find a single grain of food. In the end, they had to slaughter horses to make a living.One of his commanders suggested that Da Jin had always regarded war horses as his life. If he ate up the war horses, he would lose in a battle and it was best to retreat.The speed of Tuhe was unthinkable, so he had to withdraw from Jingkui area and return to Jin Wushu.
