Chapter 409 Yue Fei is here, are you still taking the exam? Ask for a monthly pass)
In the night, a long fire dragon is still advancing rapidly on the land of Qilu!
The terrain of Qilu land is mountainous in the middle and east, with overlapping mountains and rugged roads, which is not suitable for the rapid advance of the cavalry group. However, the western part of Qilu land is connected to the large plains of Zhongzhou. Large areas of plains are rarely undulating and rugged, and flat like a tabletop. This is the most ideal battlefield for the cavalry group!
On this battlefield where cavalry crisscrossed, there was originally a Yellow River flowing through Hebei and Shandong, which could slightly block the pace of the cavalry cluster, but now the Yellow River has been changed.
There is no more Song Hongscarf cavalry who is eager to kill the thief!
The 8,000 cavalry (including auxiliary soldiers and personal soldiers, the total number of camel soldiers was 13,400,000, nearly 30,000 horses, mules, and camels) led by Yue Fei. He set out from Daming Prefecture on the first day of the second month. On the second day of the second month, he attacked Puzhou under the pseudo-Song rule. He did not attack the city, but passed by the city directly and entered Jeju that day.
After resting in Shankou Town next to Liangshanpo, I replenished some food and livestock (although I didn’t give any money, Yue Fei’s military discipline was not allowed to rob, but he just confiscated some of the property of the traitors), and then continued to make rapid progress!
On the second day of the second month, I entered Teng County, Xuzhou, and then went south all the way, and soon entered Yizhou again. Two days later, on the evening of the fourth day of the second month, Lanling Town, Cheng County, Yizhou, was occupied.
Yue Fei's army made another wave of "replenishment" in Lanling Town. After resting for a few more hours, he drove away overnight with the unanimous begging of the soldiers of the army and rushed straight to Pizhou City!
Yes, it was under the strong demand of a group of "no pay soldiers" with red eyes that were overtime and rich, traitors and traitors were in Pizhou not far away! All these loyal ministers of the Song Dynasty were furious, so why would they sleep?
Hurry up and catch it!
In the past, the Song Dynasty's army demanded money whenever they moved, and went to the battlefield to shoot arrows and asked for rewards. Where did they go deep into the enemy's territory and still actively asked for overtime marching at night? It's just that they don't have to worry about death, hardship, and hardship!
Such an army is of course an invincible existence in the world!
Not to mention that the enemies of Pizhou are just backbone traitors, so what if they are real Jin thieves? They will still be hung up and beaten!
Yue Fei's 8,000 cavalry are now moving forward with the greatest enthusiasm and the speed of a marching force. Everyone is sweating profusely!
Yes, it was to walk with your feet, not riding a horse. Because this area was close to the enemy's heart, in order to save horsepower to cope with the fierce battles that could occur at any time. Yue Fei ordered before leaving Lanling Town: except for the hard exploring rafter with missions, everyone else would walk forward.
Yue Fei himself is also one of the "others". He is the county duke and the commander of the army. Now he is wearing leggings like other soldiers and generals (this is Zhao Kai's "invention"), leading a steep Qinghai Camp, walking step by step on the official road. There are soldiers marching with torches around. Under the torches, these soldiers with a rainbow of morale saw that their chief general was walking forward like them, and their enthusiasm was a little more and faster.
The army rushed towards Pizhou like this!
Of course, this fire dragon that was moving south quickly at night did not hide it from the reconnaissance cavalry sent by Wanyan Yan.
In the early morning of the fifth day of the second month, Wanyan Yan, who was sleeping with Kong Yanzhou in Chenqiaobao, suddenly felt someone shaking her. Someone roared in his ears: "The Empress wakes up, the Empress wakes up."
Wanyan Yan suddenly opened her eyes and turned her head to look at the person beside her pillow. The dormitory was a little dim. It took her a while before she recognized it as Kong Yanzhou.
Wanyan Yan rubbed her eyes and asked, "Brother Kong, what happened?"
Wanyan Yan, Li Cheng, Kong Yanzhou and Liu Lin have siblings. She is the youngest, so she is the youngest, Li Cheng is the eldest brother, Kong Yanzhou is the second brother, and Liu Lin is the third brother.
Now Li Cheng has led his troops to Chenjia Island to firmly control the ships there. Liu Lin protected Zhao Shanzhen to Qushan County, Haizhou, and organized the military families, craftsmen and others to follow the sea to Yuzhou Island. Only Kong Yanzhou was with Wanyan Yan and guarding the Chenqiao Pavilion together.
Seeing Wanyan Yan woke up, Kong Yanzhou quickly reported: "Empress, the cavalry of the Red Thief's thief has passed Mount Ai!"
"Red Thief" is Zhao Gou's pseudo-Song title for Zhao Kai's Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou's Lin'an court must say that he is orthodox!
Zhao Gou is orthodox, so Zhao Kai and Zhao Huan are definitely not orthodox. Moreover, Zhao Kai's Northern Song Dynasty and Zhao Huan's Southern Song Dynasty all said that Zhao Gou recognized the thief as his father and was a rebel, and the two rebels in the north and south Songs, although they both claimed to be orthodox, they did not call each other a thief. Zhao Kai called Zhao Huan "King of Wu", while Zhao Huan used to call Zhao Kai "Crown Brother", but now he called Zhao Kai "General Tiance". From this, it can be seen that both sides have not yet broken up and have the possibility of compromise. For Zhao Gou, the two families have no room for their families and are unanimously called "rebels". This is really annoying!
Therefore, Zhao Gou could only confront him, calling Zhao Kai a "Red Thief" and calling Zhao Huan a "pirate".
"Aishan" is in Lin'an Prefecture, not too far from Lin'an Prefecture City or Chenqiao Pavilion.
"What?" Wanyan Yan was shocked by the news, "How could it be coming too fast? Didn't they just hit Jinan Prefecture and Jeju? Why did they arrive in Lin'an in the blink of an eye?"
Now the main force of the Song army is divided into two groups, attacking Dezhou, Jinan on the north, and Puzhou on the west. The main force of the puppet Song army in these four prefectures has long since left, leaving only some traitors who were abandoned by Wanyan Yan, but were afraid of being severely liquidated by Zhao Kai's court, and they were still struggling to support them and entered the city to hold on. After the two armies of the Northern Song Dynasty entered the country, they also sent envoys to ask Chen Qiaoguan for help, so Wanyan Yan learned that the Northern Song army was coming from both sides.
Because the two armies of the Northern Song Dynasty were still far away, Wanyan Yan did not leave Chenqiao Pavilion and continued to stay here to stabilize the hearts of Lin'an.
I didn’t expect that the Song army would come so quickly!
Wanyan Yan was also a little panicked, "What should we do? Brother Kong Er, what should we do?"
"Run!" Kong Yanzhou's answer was very straightforward, "The main force of the Red Troops cannot come so quickly. It must have been a journey through the elite cavalry. Most of the ministers are infantry, and there is no camel tube that can be used in the field. It is difficult to defeat the Red Troops' iron cavalry, and the Queen's 20th squad."
The two "technology" of camel cannon and lemboldage were of course passed to the pseudo-Song Dynasty. However, Wanyan Yan was no longer interested in fighting, so he did not cast a large number of camel cannons, nor did he come to build a lemboldage.
"No need to say it, I understand!" Wanyan Yan immediately made a decision, "Go to Yuzhou Island immediately to avoid it."
"That official family" Kong Yanzhou asked.
Wanyan Yan sighed: "He is a place where the king dies in the country!"
"Now I will gather people and prepare the carriage." Kong Yanzhou said as he stood up from the bed and began to wear clothes and pants.
Wanyan Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, frowned, "One day, a couple, a hundred days of love, this palace cannot see him being captured by the Red Trouble without any defense!"
She was still a little reluctant to let Zhao Gou go, and she and Zhao Gou were in a free relationship. When Zhao Gou had nothing, the two of them got together. How could they not have feelings?
Kong Yanzhou said, "Then I will bring people into Lin'an Prefecture and bring the official family out!"
"No need" Wanyan Yan was a little sad, "burn Chen Qiao! In this way, the red scarf thief will not easily enter Lin'an Prefecture."
It’s really a deep love between husband and wife!
"Okay, I'll make arrangements now!" Kong Yanzhou was about to leave the house, but was stopped by Wanyan Yan.
"Wait," Wanyan Yan said, "I will write another letter to the official family, and you will send it to the Lin'an Xiang Army who is guarding the west case of the floating bridge."
The purpose of Wanyan Yan's letter was of course to encourage Zhao Gou to persevere in Lin'an Prefecture!
Only by persevering to the end can one die heroically!
Kong Yanzhou received the imperial edict, took Wanyan Yan's letter, and left the house and arranged to deliver the letter and burn the bridge.
The preparations for burning Chen Qiao have been made long ago!
In order to ensure that the floating bridge is fully burned, Wanyan Yan also prepared the fierce turbulent oil hidden in the palace to ensure that it burns quickly and well.
When Chen Qiao became angry, Zhao Gou was still sleeping in his bedroom, hugging a palace maid.
If Wanyan Yan was in the palace, he would not dare to be "lustful". But Wanyan Yan is not here now, so he would still find palace maids to sleep with her very purely!
"Official family, official family, it's not good."
The one who shouted around Zhao Gou was a eunuch named Kang Lu, who was the chief magistrate of the royal palace when Zhao Gou was King Kang. Later, he followed Zhao Gou to serve as a mission to the Jin camp and was detained together. He worked hard in Huining together. Now that Zhao Gou has become an official family, he of course also has risen and has become more prosperous.
"Official Kang, what happened?" Zhao Gou opened his eyes and saw Kang Lu's obviously frightened face. In fact, he knew that something was wrong.
"Chen Qiao caught fire" Kang Lu said, and took out Wanyan Yan's handwritten letter tremblingly, "This is the letter sent by the Empress before Chen Qiao caught fire."
"Is it that she lets you let the fire go?" Zhao Gou actually understood, "Yes, is it the Red Trouble who has arrived?"
Kang Lu had read the letter, and nodded immediately, with tears in his eyes, "Official family, the old minister has secretly prepared a small boat for you."
Zhao Gou just shook his head without saying a word. He took the envelope, took out the letter paper inside and opened it and looked at it. After looking for a while, he sighed and said with a wry smile: "This Wanyan Yan told me to stay in Lin'an and do the imperial examination well. She will find a way to deal with the matter outside the city."
"And, I'll hold the imperial examination?" Kang Lu was a little uncertain.
