One Piece of Song Dynasty

Liu Qi replied: "The sooner the better." Ruan Wu thought for a while and said: "Then two queens, that is, at You hour on September rd, General Liu sent five thousand cavalry to the dock." Liu Qi cupped his fists and said "Okay, I'll thank General Ruan in advance." Ruan Wu said with a smile: "It's just a little matter. Besides, if General Liu wins this battle, then our navy will also have a share of the credit. This is a win-win situation." It's a good thing, it's not about who helps whom, it's mutual benefit." After discussing the relevant matters with Ruan Wu, Liu Qi made some arrangements for the generals. On the evening of September , Niu Gao led cavalry Conghuacheng County Pier got on the boat. It only took the fleet one and a half hours to deliver Niu Gao's cavalry to a place about kilometers north of Huacheng County. It was still night and still early before dawn. Niu Gao did not dare to move lightly after disembarking with his cavalry. He first sent scouts to explore the surrounding area within ten miles. After the scouts reported back that there was only one village within ten miles, Niu Gao began to lead the operation. In order to keep it secret, he first sent people to occupy the village, and then hid the people and waited for the arrival of the next night. He and Liu Qi The agreement was that after the entire army landed, they would start taking action at midnight on the evening of September th. Of course, they would send a few signal flares upwards after they succeeded. Liu Qi would only order the other troops to leave the city when they saw the signal flares. If they did not see the signal flares, Liu Qi would not. Hands on. At this time, Xiao Qing didn't know that Liu Qi was plotting against him. After getting along with the Song army for a while, he got used to it. In fact, it was not that he had never thought about attacking the city, but after observing the strong defenses of Huacheng County, After the city was defended, he stopped thinking about attacking the city. He only had an army of in his hands, and only of them had real combat effectiveness. The remaining were temporary recruits who were not very effective. The real Jurchen soldiers in this army were There are only people, and the rest are either Khitans or Hans. There are also tens of thousands of Song troops in Huacheng County. In this way, his military strength does not have much advantage. He originally wanted to trap the Song Dynasty by besieging the city. However, Huacheng County is adjacent to the sea to the east and the sea route cannot be blocked. It is nonsense to think of trapping Huacheng County, so Xiao Qing no longer has the idea of ​​​​Huacheng County. As long as the Song army does not come out, he plans to stay safe and sound. Let the matter go. Of course, there is another thing that Xiao Qing doesn't know, and that is that there is a huge hidden danger buried in his -strong army, and that is the nearly Han troops led by Yang Yun. After Yang Yun defeated Jingkang, he bribed Shangguan to transfer He was stationed near Liaoyang and never participated in the southern invasion war since then. After all, no one wants to be transferred to the front line to fight with his own army. However, after being transferred to Liaoyang, Yang Yun's army was reduced to people. Yang Yun He didn't care about Chui, as long as it didn't affect his mission. If it weren't for the fact that the Jin Kingdom was running out of troops to mobilize, Yang Yun's Han army probably wouldn't have been used this time. However, Yang Yun, who was activated, felt that this was an opportunity to help Li Xin weaken the Jin army. Yang Yun's channels for getting news were unimpeded. He got news from the front line much faster than Jin Xizong. When he learned about Yan Jing When , Huacheng County and the Central Plains experienced great changes, he knew that the day when he would be activated was not far away, but at that time he did not know which direction he would be transferred to. When he knew that he was going to be sent to Huacheng County, he was relieved, because he wanted to come to Huacheng County more than Yanjing and Hedong, because through Zhao Yun's message and the internal knowledge of the Jin Kingdom, He knew that the war intensity in Huacheng County was much lower than that of Yanjing and Hedong. The Song and Jin armies of Yanjing and Hedong were both elite. His operational space was not very large, and in Huacheng County It's different. The Jin Army here doesn't have many soldiers who can really fight, which is very conducive to Yang Yun's actions. Of course, Yang Yun would not engage in a battlefield uprising that would directly reveal his identity, because through the exchange of letters with Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun did not order him to uprising on the battlefield, but only asked him to help the Song army at the appropriate time. This is what he has done now. Until Yang Yun reveals his identity, he will continue to lead the team and lurk even after the war. Yang Yun still has some ideas on how to help the Song Army. As long as he helps the Song Army eliminate Xiao Qing's army, the Kingdom of Jin will be shaken, because without Xiao Qing's checks and balances, Liu Qi can send troops deep into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Jin to plunder. Previously, Liu Qi did not send troops to plunder because he was in a hurry to strengthen the city defense of the county. Now there is no need to worry about city defense. Liu Qi has full energy to send troops to plunder the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom. This also forced the Jin Kingdom to withdraw its troops from Hedong to make up for it. Huacheng County's losses, after all, the Jin Kingdom does not have many available troops now, so when Yang Yun received the order, he complained to Xiao Qing first, and only the people who had been baptized on the battlefield were transferred. Five thousand people, he hoped to replenish the troops before going out for the expedition. Xiao Qing discussed with the supervisor Wanyan Zongben and agreed. In this way, Yang Yun easily controlled one-fifth of Xiao Qing's army. troops. A few days after setting up camp in Huacheng County, Yang Yun found that there were no signs that the Song and Jin armies were going to fight, so he thought that he had to send someone into the city to contact Liu Qi before he could take action. So on the evening of September , that is, Niu Qi When Gao set off, Yang Yun called his subordinate Yan Xiao and said: "Yan Xiao, you have been with me for more than twenty years. Now is the critical moment for the prince's Northern Expedition. It is also the time for us to show our talents." Yan Xiao said : "Boss, just do what you want. After holding it in for so many years, it's time for a big one." Yang Yun nodded and said, "Okay, now you leave the camp and sneak into Huacheng County to find Marshal Liu Qi. This is someone's token. Let's see what he does first, and remember not to let anyone find out." After that, Yang Yun handed a piece of strange-shaped jade to Yan Xiao. This kind of jade was specially made by Liang Xing and Zhao Yun. The complete jade was divided into two halves, one half in the hands of Liang Xing or Zhao Yun, and the other half in the hands of the important spy Zheng Yanxiao who was sent out. He took the jade and said: "Don't worry, boss, I understand everything." After receiving the order, Yan Xiao He went back, changed his clothes, and sneaked out of the camp. He found a corner outside Huacheng County, then hooked a rope to the top of the wall and started climbing up. Of course, the sound of the hook hooking the wall still alerted the defenders on the city. A Song The sergeant held a torch and leaned out of the city wall to look down. There was a man climbing the city wall and shouted: "Who is it?" Yan Xiao quickly replied: "Brother, don't shoot. Someone has something important to report to your commander. You Pull someone up first." The soldier was afraid of being deceived and said, "Don't move for now while someone goes to call someone." Then the soldier asked Pao Ze next to him to keep an eye on Yan Xiao, and he ran to report to his superiors.
