Getaway

In Xiangyang City, generals challenged Ye Heng every day.

On the first day of May, another commander of the capital took the initiative to ask Ye Heng for orders, saying: "Ye Shuai, now Prime Minister Zuo has conquered Chang'an and sent his troops to the north; Jingzhao and Qingyuan will be pacified in a few days; the old general Xianzhong will guard the two Huaihe Rivers. , resisted 13 elite soldiers of the Jinren; The golden dog has not been seen yet. The last general begs Ye Shuai to send troops to attack the gold!"

Ye Heng: "This commander has his own plans, and you can just follow orders."

The commander of the capital: "Ye Shuai, do you know how ugly the rumors about adults are?"

"Let's talk about it," Ye Heng asked with interest.

"Xiangyang City, no, the whole Southwest Road of Beijing is rumored that Ye Shuai was frightened by the Jin soldiers during the Battle of Fuli in his early years, and he didn't dare to attack the gold. So he just practiced every day and refused to use soldiers for a long time. There are even worse things, some people even said..." The commander hesitated for a while, not daring to continue.

"What else to say"?Ye Heng asked.

"Also, Ye Shuai, you may have taken the gold and silver from the Jinren just like Zhang said."

"Bold"!Ye Heng was furious, "Whoever dares to spread such rumors about me, order the Third Division to investigate strictly."

Ye Heng thought in his heart: Liu Fangfang's subordinates have gone too far.

The commander of the capital said, "Ye Shuai, even if we want to appease the anger and remove the suspicion, we should send troops."

"Nonsense, the Lord must not raise troops because of anger. How do you read your military books? Continue to practice. Order your troops to rush from Zhonglu to Zaoyang within eight days. I will behead you one day later or one day earlier! Retire Come down."

Chang'an City is in the northwest of Jingxian Road, but Zaoyang is at the easternmost end of Jingxian Road.The troops rushed to Zaoyang to make it clear that they were in the opposite direction, but the military order was like a mountain, and they had to follow, and all the commanders retreated angrily.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, the commander of the capital led the army to Zaoyang, and received a military order that he must arrive at Tangzi Mountain, [-] miles east of the city, within one day, and there must be no violation.

On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, when the commander of the capital rushed to Tangzi Mountain with his own army and horses, he unexpectedly discovered that nine teams of ten thousand people had assembled here in one day. In addition to his own team, there were a total of [-] people gathered around Tangzi Mountain. army.

Ye Shuai ordered the army to drill every day, running around and mobilizing constantly.More than a month has passed, and no one cares about where they will be transferred next time.Unexpectedly, Ye Shuai suddenly transferred almost all the army horses to Zaoyang.

By this time, the idiot also knew that Ye Shuai was going to make a northern expedition from Zaoyang instead of attacking Jingzhaofu Road together with Prime Minister Zuo.

In the evening, Ye Heng personally came to the army and ordered to kill pigs and sheep to reward the army.

In the early morning of the next day, the three armies formed a neat formation at the foot of Tangzi Mountain, waiting for Ye Shuai's order.

Ye Heng stood on a high hillside, and shouted in full spirit:

"Last training, target: Zhending Mansion, time, ten days!"

Although Ye Heng's voice was very loud, the soldiers in the back row couldn't hear the military orders at all due to the huge army formation.

Ye Heng issued an order, and the three armies shouted three times in unison: "Target: Zhending Mansion, time, ten days!"

Military orders resounded across the wilderness.

Tangzi Mountain is more than 400 miles away from Zhending Mansion.In the Song Dynasty, it was a rare elite to be able to travel [-] miles a day. Generally speaking, it is impossible to reach [-] miles in ten days.

What's more, all the way through the Jin Kingdom's Bianjing Road, Damingfu Road and Hebei West Road, there are many enemy troops blocking.

However, Song Jun is by no means without support.

At this time, a young gentleman flew over with his sword, it was Duan Yu.

Duan Yu didn't say a word, and directly performed the method of spring wind and rain, raining rain, and raising the physical fitness of all soldiers to the peak.

Then Ye Heng gave an order: "The whole army discarded their armor and swords, and each person only took one bow, three arrows, nine days of dry food, and the Northern Expedition!"

Inspired by the Dafa of Spring Wind and Rain, the army marched like flying, marching sixty miles in one morning.

At noon, Duan Yu came again, and he continued to use spring breeze to transform rain to restore the physical fitness of the three armed forces.

In the afternoon, the army will arrive at the border between Song and Jin. Duan Yu will go with the army and hypnotize the Jin scouts along the way.

In the evening, Duan Yu performed the immortal technique again, and the army's physical strength returned to its original state.

In mid-May, it got dark late, and the army continued to march until it reached Dahetun Town, west of Biyang City, before they set up camp and went to the town to fetch water for dry food.

One day's march, 150 miles.

On the evening of May [-]th, an elite Jinbing scout galloped into Kaifeng City on Bianjing Road on a horse.

After entering the city, the horses did not slow down.Jin Bing shouted "emergency military situation" all the way, begging to see the Bianjing Road Jiedushi.

"Ye Heng has dispatched troops, a [-] army, set off from Tang City this morning, and threatened to arrive at Zhending Mansion within ten days."

"What did you say? One hundred thousand troops, crushing my Bianjing Road?!"

"It's true."

"Go down".

Jiedushi urgently convened his subordinate staff to discuss countermeasures.

A counselor said: "My lord, don't panic. As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass go first. Ye Heng is also a man who knows how much food and grass will be needed for a [-] army. The army rations have not yet been raised, so the so-called big army going out to fight is probably not true, it should be Ye Heng's bluff."

"It took ten days to arrive at Zhending Mansion, and Ye Heng really dared to brag. It took 500 days for the garrison of Zhending Mansion to arrive at Jinan Mansion. It is only 400 miles from Jinan to Zhending. It is more than [-] miles from Tangcheng to Zhending. Even if the army of [-] troops does not fight, it is Ye Heng's ability to reach Zhending in a month. He will not be afraid to flash his tongue if he arrives in Zhending Mansion in ten days!" said a certain commander.

"Now Bianjing Road is empty of troops, and they have been transferred to Lianghuai and Yanzhou; even if Ye Heng can't reach Zhending Mansion, what can he do if he attacks the city on Bianjing Road?" Jiedushi said.

"My lord, you can order the southern states and counties to strengthen their security, close the gates of the city, guard against death, and resolutely not go out of the city to fight. If the enemy breaks through the city, they must burn the granary. If Ye Heng really sent a hundred thousand troops, and did not raise enough food and grass, there is no need for more Day, the troops will surely retreat."

"This is a good plan. I will order all the cities in the south to close their gates and guard against death from tomorrow," said the envoy.

After the Jin army mobilized troops from five routes, the defenses in the five northern provinces were already extremely empty.On the evening of May [-]th, Huang Yaoshi took Liu Fangfang to contact the anti-golden volunteers in the five northern provinces who had already been fighting.Agreed to attack tonight.

At the time of Haishi, more than [-] volunteers rose up and raided nearby counties at night.

In the northern provinces, because they are far away from the battlefield, the garrisons are small. In addition to the transfer of soldiers, the number of guards in the county towns now ranges from 200 to [-].The guards in the state city are only two or three thousand.

Fighting unpreparedly, the rebels captured five prefectural cities and 36 county towns overnight. Under the banner of the descendants of King Xin, the Wumashan Rebel Army even conquered Zhendingfu City on Hebei West Road in one fell swoop.

Overnight, the anti-golden situation in the five northern provinces has become a prairie fire.In particular, Hebei West Road, where the rebels were most prosperous, because it is adjacent to Taihang Mountain, a quarter of the prefectures and counties have been occupied by rebels.

The Han people in the Jin Kingdom have been oppressed by the Jin people for a long time, and they have long opposed it.Seeing that the state and county changed hands, bloody people joined the rebel army one after another to resist the Jin soldiers.

The situation in the Kingdom of Jin suddenly deteriorated.

In the early morning of May [-], the news that Ye Heng's main force had arrived to the west of Biyang, and the news that many prefectures and counties were lost, were simultaneously sent to Kaifeng City's Bianjing Road Jiedu envoy case.

"What, Ye Heng didn't attack Tongbai, Tangzhou, or Biyang, but just marched? 150 miles a day?"

The Jiedu envoy exclaimed, "What exactly does Ye Heng want to do? If he goes deep alone, isn't he afraid that I will cut off his back?"

"Your Excellency, I promise a big Nanjing Road. There are only 11 defenders in total. Although the number is slightly larger than that of the Song Army, they are scattered in three prefectures and sixteen prefectures. It is difficult to gather in a hurry and cannot stop their troops. According to my opinion , It is better to strictly guard against it." A certain commander said.

"My lord, if the Song army traveled 150 miles a day, they must have been helped by demons. From this point of view, Ye Heng may really be able to reach Zhending Mansion in ten days. You must notify Hebei West Road as soon as possible, and take strict precautions to avoid being taken advantage of by the Song army." .”

"That's right, come here, order."

"Report, emergency military situation!"

Before waiting for the order, the emergency military situation came again.

"Read!"

"Last night there were rebels on Hebei West Road, many counties and counties fell, and even Zhending Prefecture was occupied by [-] bandit soldiers from Wuma Mountain."

Jiedu Envoy suddenly realized: "Ye Heng wants to use Zhending Mansion as a base to attack Zhongdu! No, we must take back the Zhending Mansion occupied by the bandits before the Song army reaches Hebei West Road, and Ye Heng cannot be allowed to be in the imperial capital." Take root at the foot of the city. Send an order to urgently inform Lord Zhang, who is besieging Xin Qiji's army in Jinan Prefecture, to abandon Jinan and return to Hebei as quickly as possible to regain Zhending Prefecture."

"My lord, it's too late," one of the staff said, "It takes [-] days to march from Jinan to Zhending, and eighteen days from Kaifeng to Zhending. However, it takes fifteen days for Taiyuan Mansion to reach Zhending, but it can be reached in ten days. However, Yu Yunwen's army has passed Linfen like a broken bamboo, and will arrive in Taiyuan in a few days. Taiyuan Mansion is afraid that it will not be able to protect itself. , it will take twelve days to reach Zhending. If the central government dispatches elite cavalry, they can arrive at Zhending Mansion in two days, but cavalry are not good at attacking the city. Yes, Ye Heng will arrive at Zhending in nine days, and he is a big country of Jin, but he can't dispatch an army to take back Zhending Mansion before Ye Heng."

"There is a way, order my defenders on Bianjing Road to go out of the city to meet the enemy and prevent the Song army from advancing northward." Jiedushi said.

"My lord, now I am on Bianjing Road, the county guards are only a few hundred, and the prefectural guards are only two or three thousand. If we go out to meet the enemy, the whole army will be wiped out in one face-to-face. I will also give the Song Army city food and grass for nothing. The gain outweighs the loss. ...Moreover, Ye Heng's army is not close to the city at all, and we don't know its marching route, so it is difficult to set up an ambush."

"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work, what do you think should be done?" Jiedushi said angrily.

"Notify Xijing Road, Hebei Road, Henan Road, and the troops in Ji and Yan to return to the central capital as soon as possible and defend the capital. This is the only countermeasure." The adviser said.

"Bold, foreign troops are not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict, otherwise they will be regarded as conspiring against each other. Who would dare to return to the king of Jingqin without an order from the majesty. For the current plan, we have to send out the military situation and wait and see what happens." Jiedu envoy said helplessly.
