I, Han Gaozu, actually traveled through Song Gaozong?

Chapter 276 Siege
Zhongmu County, Huaishugang.

This place is the center between Zhengzhou and Kaifeng. It is seventy miles to the west from Zhengzhou and seventy miles to the east from Kaifeng.

Ever since Yue Pengju had been heading north, winning consecutive battles, he stopped here. It was not that Yue Pengju was unwilling to move forward, but because of the emperor's order, he could not move forward now.

The most important thing is that he knows that what Zhao Guanjia said is right. There are few Jurchens and many people in the Song Dynasty. There are more people to fight and fewer people to attack. This is one of the reasons. The other point is that the troops he can control are no more than [-]. There are still many who have no organization. Among the young and strong men who come from all over the country, apart from the labor of civilians, I am afraid that less than half can actually be used in the war.

Half of the people want to besiege the city of Kaifeng... To put it disrespectfully, unless the emperor Xiaociyuan is staying in the city, otherwise, even a pig cannot let Yue Fei surround the city.

The most important point is that the success of the Northern Expedition is simply something he has never encountered since he joined the army. This is because the Zhao Guan family is also here, which has attracted a lot of pressure, and also because they have just retreated, and the Jin people I haven't completely established my footing yet.

But Kaifeng is different. Last time, the Jin people only said that they wanted to return Kaifeng. Liu Qi, who was responsible for taking over Kaifeng, had just arrived in Yingzhou. Wanyan Wushu tore up the peace treaty. Since the war of Jingkang, the people of Kaifeng Mansion have died and fled. After escaping, there were not many Han people left at all. Going somewhere else with him and Yue Fei might have been popular, but when they got here, not many people wanted to see him.

This is almost the same as the strategy they had set before. The Northern Expedition should be sooner rather than later, faster rather than slower. But when it comes to opening the city, it has to be the other way around. It cannot be done quickly.

Since King Mu of the Zhou Dynasty designated Zhongmu as an imperial garden during the Western Zhou Dynasty, this place has been plagued by wars. Song, Chen, Wei, and Cao allied with Jin to attack Zheng, and Qin attacked Wei seven times. I came here five times, and Liu Bang defeated the Qin general Yang Xiong here... The most famous one was when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought in Guandu. It is a battleground for military strategists, but its impact on the battle situation is not that big. , after all, there are big cities on both sides, but let’s say it’s fair to say that they are often on the road that everyone has to pass through. To put it bluntly,
This is an unfortunate place.

Huaishugang is only a few miles away from Zhongmu County. When a large number of Jin people arrived a few days ago, Yue Yun thought it was the Jin people who were attacking. When he quickly called everyone to get ready, he discovered the purpose of the people on the other side. It seemed that the prairie barbarians in front were not coming towards him. Instead, they were surrounded by the Jurchen pursuers on the mountain. The two sides were in a stalemate. Counting the time, those northern barbarians had already persisted. It’s been five days.

They are dogs biting dogs, and Yue Yun naturally enjoys it. In addition to training every day, he also asks people to watch carefully. Now the recruits are not as afraid of the Jin people as tigers, and they don't start to be breathless when they hear the name of the Jin people. Come on, there is nothing we can do. The stories made up by the students are getting more and more outrageous, and they all trace back to Wanyan Aguda and the cow... Facing people who are worse than animals, it inspired the contempt of many people in the Song Dynasty.

You can ask them to take a good look at the way the Jin people fight, and show them that the Jurchens can bleed, cry out in pain, and lose their lives. How could Yue Yun miss such a good opportunity?

But what surprised him was that the Jin people he met this time were a little weird. It wasn't that they were fighting, but that these people only thought about the barbarians on the locust tree hill. For these Song people, they were a little bit strange. As if invisible.

Before, I was just looking outside the gate of the county town. Later, as the circle of Jin people narrowed, I could only see the shadow halfway up the mountain. Niu Gao waved his hand and led the people forward for a long distance. , they have already reached the foot of the mountain... Even so, the Jin people just treat them as if they don't exist, and they only think about dealing with the barbarians on the mountain.

Yue Yun and Niu Gao stayed here, and it was not without discussion. After all, looking at the dress of the group of prairie people, they were similar to the party they attacked before. Why were they still working for the Jin people a few days ago, and now both sides Just turned against each other?

But after discussing it, the two of them couldn't figure it out, and they just reached a consensus:
No matter what the reason is, it is a matter of complete benefit and harmlessness.

In this way, there will be no more psychological burden.

It was sunny today, and a group of new soldiers were brought to observe. Niu Gao heard the sound of fighting above, which was much quieter than the previous days, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Looking at this, I'm afraid that once today is over, the barbarian above will have to hold a bird in his hand."

Yue Yun asked: "What is that?" "It's over!"

"Well," Yue Yun nodded, "That's what I say, but those barbarians don't wear armor or carry bows, and even their knives are short-edged. How can they tangle with these Jurchens by virtue of the geographical advantage? Day, it’s quite rare.”

What he said is not entirely true. Not hanging a bow means not using the divine arm bow. His father has a very good relationship with the prime minister Zhao Ding. He himself is deeply loved by the emperor. Half of the good things sent by Lin'an have arrived. Here they are.

Being used to fighting for wealth, it is indeed normal to look down upon these people.

Perhaps it was a protest against Yue Yun's words. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a man on the top of the hill. He started shooting with a bow. He fired it three times in a row and hit three people. This archery skill attracted everyone. The two couldn't help but clapped their hands and applauded.

"He is really a capable person, but it's a pity..."

Niu Gao didn't finish his words, because this man's ending was already obvious.

He seemed to be separated from the large army. There was no one of his own race around him, but beside him, there was an endless stream of golden men holding their shields upward.

Even if Hou Yi were to be reincarnated, he would inevitably end up dead when all the arrows on his back were shot.

It is indeed a pity that such a person died like this.

I saw him dodging left and right while shooting arrows from time to time. The arrows he shot could scratch the golden man in the slightest, or directly kill him in the worst case. In the short time of less than one stick of incense, he killed seven or eight people by himself. The Jurchens lost their fighting capacity.

"How about...save me?"

Niu Gao asked tentatively. Since returning from Lin'an, Yue Yun's status has risen rapidly. Many times Yue Fei wanted to beat or scold him, but he endured it again and again. He didn't even say harsh words a few times.

Everyone knows whose face they are looking for. Let him lead the army alone this time. It is said to be a test. Yue Fei avoids his son's thoughts. As the saying goes, 'out of sight, out of mind.' '

So Niu Gao was just his lieutenant.

Yue Yun thought for a while, and just when he was about to answer, he saw the man above him suddenly shooting an arrow towards his house. He screamed strangely, and took seven or eight steps back. When he came to his senses again, he saw The arrow was stuck where he was standing just now.
