I am Da Song

Chapter 62
After the Battle of Xiangyi, Yue Fei led his troops to reorganize a little, and then continued to go along Hebei.

At this time, the Jin army was defeated and scattered. They did not dare to compete with the Song army for the road, so they had to detour and turn north.

However, the Song army took shortcuts all the way and advanced quickly along the Chi Road without hindrance.

So the rout had not sent back the news of the defeat, and the Song army raided the Jin army camp in Yongqiu that night.

A full three hundred gold soldiers were still sleeping soundly in the tent, but they were slaughtered by the cavalry of the Song army. Countless blood seeped from under the collapsed tent, melted the frozen ground, and gathered into a gurgling stream.

This should have been a touching scene, but it attracted the cheers of countless soldiers of the Song Army.Someone opened his arms and fell face-to-face in a pool of blood, laughing madly and rolling in the blood.

The scarlet blood dyed the warrior's vermilion uniform more vividly.

No one thought there was anything wrong with this bloody scene. Compared with the people in the Central Plains slaughtered by the Jin army, which caused a stench for hundreds of miles around Tokyo, the Song army's revenge is just the beginning.

In order to attract the attention of the Jin army, the Song army set fire to the Jin army camp again.The flames of the corpses and the wall can be seen for tens of miles, the smell of meat flutters with the wind, and the sound of the whirring flames can be heard for miles in the silent night.

There is no need for Yue Fei to spread the word anymore. The Jin army around Tokyo already knows that the Song army in the south has launched an offensive in the direction of Tokyo.

At this time, Yue Fei had already led the iron cavalry to endure exhaustion and rushed to the south of Chenliu City for thirty miles.

Up to now, this iron cavalry has been forcibly fighting for a day and a night, with two battles in the middle and four or five small battles. The distance of chasing and shooting is hundreds of miles.

If it were not for Bianhe River as a reference, just getting lost and falling behind would probably reduce the staff by one-third.

These soldiers were not elite cavalry at all, and they persisted through gritted teeth because of their hatred for the Jinren.After receiving Yue Fei's order to disband and rest, countless people collapsed in the deserted village, unable to lift their arms, sleeping next to the rotting corpses.

The Jin army slaughtered the Central Plains, after all, it got its retribution over time.The cavalry of the Song Army stationed grandly in this abandoned village beside the Bian River, without attracting anyone's attention.

Yue Fei took Zhang Xian, Wang Gui, Xu Qing and others to inspect the whole army. When he saw a soldier sleeping in armor, he went up to push him awake, and asked with a smile, "You can't hold on after just one day? Wake up?" , take off your armor, or you won’t be able to keep your arm when you wake up tomorrow.”

The awakened soldiers felt that they couldn't even lift their eyelids, and complained: "Taiwei, didn't someone sleep in armor before? It's too troublesome to wear them tomorrow."

Yue Fei said with a smile: "The ancients didn't sleep together after a day and a night of fierce fighting. Rest assured and sleep, at least there will be no next battle until tomorrow morning."

With Yue Fei leading, Zhang Xian, Wang Gui, and Xu Qing also followed suit to appease the soldiers.

It was not until midnight that several generals returned to Yue Fei's side.Zhang Xian reported: "The Taiwei and my soldiers have all slept soundly, and I have memorized the positions of each team. If there is a war, I can gather all the soldiers in less than a moment."

After listening to it, Wang Gui slapped his thigh angrily, and said, "I forgot about this. I only remember to put the soldiers to sleep, but forgot to bring them together. I'll go back and read it again."

Yue Fei raised his hand to stop Wang Gui, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just pay attention next time. The battle is expected to be at least tomorrow afternoon."

Xu Wei, who was sitting by the fire with the imperial equipment, asked with concern: "What is the plan of the Taiwei? Now according to the deployment of the Taiwei, it is indeed full of momentum, which is enough to attract the attention of the Jin Army. But after the Jin Army is heavily guarded against the south , how should I break through the siege and break into the city?"

Zhang Xian sat by the fire and looked at Yue Fei with concern.He is a hero, heroic, brave and tenacious.Even the most patient and enduring elite in the Golden Army cannot compare with him.

Today's bloody battle is just a warm-up for him, and two more bloody battles are no longer a problem.

So at the moment, he can be said to be full of enthusiasm, and he admires his general's military strategy very much, and wants to learn more.

Yue Fei was masculine and upright, so he generously taught the military law, and said to the people sitting around the fire: "Emperor Wei Wu wrote an annotation for "Sun Tzu's Art of War", saying that the changes of soldiers are not the same. Therefore, soldiers cannot be predicted. Changemakers too."

After speaking, Yue Fei added a piece of firewood to the fire, and waited for several people to ponder calmly.

After several people had their own understandings, they continued: "You are all warriors who are brave enough to win the three armies, but even if you are brave enough to kill a hundred people, you are hardly an enemy of ten thousand people. Use troops to plan first, and Luan Zhi is defeated. Don't suffer to be strangled, it's all because of conspiracy."

"Therefore, in tomorrow's battle, use strategy instead of courage. The first battle established the passage for us to enter Beijing. Can you speculate on tomorrow's deployment?"

Wang Gui was blunt, and immediately said: "I guess, my brother may not plan to directly ambush the Jin army tomorrow."

Xu Qing nodded and said: "The Jin army knows that we are waiting in the south, and the troops of Kaifeng and Chenliu will go south tomorrow, so they will definitely be prepared. If we attack directly, with our force, even if we may win, it must be Miserable."

Yue Fei turned over the burning fire with a wooden stick, and smiled gratifiedly. The generals in the army are talents that can be cultivated. Everyone tempered in the fire will eventually turn the anti-golden cause into a prairie fire.

Xu Wei asked in surprise: "Aren't you going to ambush the Jin Army? The Taiwei wants to go around and sneak into Tokyo City?"

Zhang Xian said with a smile: "No, there will be a battle tomorrow. And we will win a big victory."

"Not bad." Yue Fei looked at Zhang Xian and said appreciatively, "Commander Zhang has clearly guessed my deployment."

Then Yue Fei took out a copy of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" from his bosom, and said: "I come from a poor family, but I have never forgotten to study hard. Among them, "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu" focuses on self-encouragement, and "Sun Tzu's Art of War" focuses on learning military affairs. Strategies."

"The purpose of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" can perfectly summarize what Commander Zhang said just now. Victory first and then war. The art of war says that a good fighter should stand in an invincible position and not lose the enemy's defeat. Therefore, a victorious soldier wins first and then seeks war. , the defeated soldiers fight first and then seek victory."

"I have made an annotation on this Art of War, if you are interested, you can take it and read it."

Zhang Xian immediately got up, took the book of war from Yue Fei, and said with a smile: "Thank you Taiwei for giving me the book. I learned a new word today, win first and then fight. This is a great achievement compared to what I said." Complete victory, the realm is much higher."

Wang Gui didn't snatch it, scratched his head annoyedly, and said, "Brother gave this military book to someone else. Just give me that "Zuoshi Chunqiu". I am good at reading "Spring and Autumn", and I am also good at wielding a big sword, maybe I can also be a great Guan Yu of the Song Dynasty."

"Haha, good, good." Yue Fei laughed and took out the yellowed "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu" from his arms. His brother took Guan Yu as his ambition, and he had to support it no matter what.
