Chapter 693 Reinforcement (please subscribe!)
...

Originally, Li Yan planned to wait for Wang Yan or Hua Rong to arrive before sending reinforcements to Yue Fei.

But judging from Yue Fei's letter, it is impossible to wait for Wang Yan or Hua Rong to arrive-the Hebei fighter plane may be fleeting.

Li Yan thought about it, then called Wu Ge, Wang De and Li Yanxian.

Li Yan asked Xu Guanzhong to pass the good news and the letter of appeal from Yue Fei to Wu Ge, Wang De, and Li Yanxian one by one, and said at the same time: "I wanted to give you some more time to familiarize yourself with your troops before going to the battlefield. General Wang Yan of our Chinese army may take three or four days to reach Tokyo, and the speed of other reinforcements will be even slower, and Hebei is related to whether our Dazhong can recover Hebei, Yandi, and Pingzhou in one fell swoop. Afterwards, the Hu people will be completely driven out of the customs. Therefore, there is no room for any mistakes in the First World War in Hebei, so I plan to send your three troops to reinforce Hebei first. When Wang Yan and other troops arrive, I will carry out a second reinforcement to Hebei , what do you think?"

Li Yan is indeed making things difficult for Wu Ge, Wang De and Li Yanxian.

Among the three troops, Li Yanxian's was established the earliest, but it was only established for a few days.

Not long ago, under Sun Jing's lobbying, Yun Tianbiao brought nearly [-] people under him to vote for Li Yan.

Li Yan sent Zhang Xian to take over Yun Tianbiao's troops.

Zhang Xian, who understood what Li Yan meant, acted both hard and soft, and reorganized Yun Tianbiao's troops.

First of all, Zhang Xian removed and demobilized the young and old in Yun Tianbiao's army, as well as those who were fair-skinned, seemingly smart, and had no scruples when they saw the government. He is unreliable at all times, will slip away, and will drag other people along with him.In case of being caught by the boss, they have enough eloquence to blame others.The so-called mouse droppings spoil a pot of soup.In the army, this kind of person will not only be unable to fight, but will also play a role in disintegrating the morale of the army.

(This is the iron law established by Li Yan when he established the Liangshan Army. It was traced to the source. It was summarized by Li Yan from Qi Jiguang's method of recruiting troops, or it could be said to be copied, and then forcibly instilled in all Liangshan soldiers. general.)
The demobilization policy of the Chinese army is very generous. Most of the young and old and the young in Yun Tianbiao's army happily went to the demobilization department of the Ministry of War for demobilization. Those who were unwilling to be demobilized were transferred to the engineering unit by Zhang Xian.

Afterwards, Zhang Xian pulled out the officers from Yun Tianbiao's team and sent them all to the Recruitment Department and the Political Department in Seoul for further studies. After they graduated, they would be assigned uniformly.

After that, Zhang Xian divided the good soldiers in Yun Tianbiao's team into three - one part was handed over to Yun Tianbiao, the other part was handed over to Zhang Xian's general Guo Jin, and the other part was handed over to Li Yanxian sent by Li Yan.

Later, these three troops were all expanded into an army of ten thousand people.

The two units of Yun Tianbiao and Guo Jin have been following Zhang Xian's actions, while Li Yanxian's unit was left by Li Yan's side and handed over to Yang Yizhong to command.

It took less than a month for Li Yanxian's army to be established.

But Wu Ge's and Wang De's troops had been established for a shorter period of time - Li Yan only organized them into an army three days ago, and it seems that the leadership has not yet been fully clarified.

Ordinarily, under such circumstances, Li Yan should not let these three troops fight.

But after thinking about it, Li Yan decided to send these three troops to reinforce Yue Fei.

There are three reasons:

First, Li Yan was afraid of missing the opportunity to fight, um... More precisely, Li Yan was afraid that he would not be able to regain Yanyun and the three prefectures of Luanying.

Yanyun and Luanying three prefectures are very important to the Han people. Only when they are all recovered can the Han people live and work in peace and contentment without being afraid of the barbarian intrusion. In addition, only when they are all recovered can Li Yan annex the Northern Song Dynasty freely. The vast territory left behind, and then build a huge empire.

All in all, Li Yan can afford to lose in any battle nowadays, but Li Yan can't afford to lose in this battle.

Therefore, Li Yan would rather bury the three troops of Wu Ge, Wang De, and Li Yanxian, and never miss any opportunity.

Second, Li Yan has confidence in Wu Ge, Wang De, and Li Yanxian.

Not to mention Wu Ge's record, there is nothing too outstanding.

But looking at Wu Ge's resume, it is not difficult to see that he was also in the Western Army, and he grew up in the most elite Jingyuan Army of the Western Army. He participated in dozens of battles, large and small, and made a lot of military exploits. He did not return to Beijing until he was promoted from a young soldier to Bing Yilang to do business in the Economics and Strategy Company.

Moreover, when resisting the Jin people's attack on Bianliang City, Wu Ge proposed many good strategies, but unfortunately none of them were adopted in the end.

Later, after summing up the battle of Bianliang defending the city, many people felt sorry for Wu Ge, thinking that he was born at an untimely time, and if he was given a chance, he should be able to become a famous general.

Whether Wu Ge can become a famous general is another matter.

But Wang De and Li Yanxian are definitely famous players who have been proven by history.

former.

He has fought countless victories in his life, defeated Qi and defeated Jin, making Liu Guangshi one of the four generals of ZTE, and even defeated Jin Wushu head-on.

the latter.

A heroic life, as bright as a shooting star, he joined the army for the second time, the Northern Song Dynasty was dead, and the Kanto fell. Because he fought against the enemy desperately, only Shanzhou survived for two years, so that the Jin soldiers could not go straight. This is how the Southern Song Dynasty's 200 For many years, during this time, he led the army and civilians in Shanzhou City to fight more than [-] times, annihilating countless enemies, and finally fell due to the lack of food and aid.

In the end, he was cut off by the enemy in a street battle, and escaped under the escort of his subordinates. On the way, he heard that the Jin soldiers had massacred the city. If I don’t surrender, why should I abandon my fathers and elders in Shanzhou and live on mediocrity?”, then he threw himself into the river and died at the age of 36.

His whole family was also slaughtered by the golden soldiers, only one younger brother and one son survived.

With famous generals like Wang De and Li Yanxian in command, why wouldn't Li Yan dare to give it a go?

The third one is Yue Fei, whom Li Yan trusts the most.

Throughout the history of the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, in terms of offensive ability, the strongest general is none other than Yue Fei and Yue Pengju. No matter Liu Kai, Han Shizhong, or Wu Jie, they must be ranked behind.

And Yue Fei can beat the Jin army to the ground with a group of militiamen and rebels. Li Yan has equipped Yue Fei with the foundation of a fierce general and elite soldier this time. fame.

Wu Ge, Wang De, and Li Yanxian are not ordinary people.

Therefore, even though they understood the difficulty of their trip, Wu Ge, Wang De, and Li Yanxian took up this arduous task without hesitation.

Li Yan ordered Wang De to be the deputy commander, and Li Yanxian was the deputy commander. He took the 3 horses to Hebei and handed them over to Yue Fei.

As for how to fight this battle, it is entirely up to Yue Fei to decide.

In addition to sending troops to reinforce the right army, Li Yan also asked Zhao Ding to cooperate with Zhu Wu to organize another 50 civilians to transport grain, grass, heavy weapons and materials to Hebei to ensure the supply of the right army.
