Chapter 740 Sneak Attack on Xiangzhou (Part 2)
An hour later, three thousand cavalry left Tangyin County with some food and forage, and rushed north along the official road.
On the top of the city, Jiang Hua watched the Song Army cavalry go north with complicated eyes, and a confidant next to him whispered: "Do you want to inform Anyang County?"
Jiang Hua shook his head, "They are already suspicious of me, otherwise they wouldn't have left in such a hurry. If Anyang County is notified rashly, I'm afraid you and I will be in danger for our lives."
"I'm afraid that the Jinbing will be liquidated on us."
"Don't worry about it. I talked to them. Their goal is not just Xiangzhou. Jinbing can't find us."
Speaking of this, Jiang Hua glanced at his subordinates, and said lightly: "If you are really worried, you can report directly to the Daming Mansion after they leave Xiangzhou, and you can avoid the risk."
"Jiang Tuanlian is still thoughtful."
Jiang Hua smiled without saying a word, and looked at the north with his hands behind his back. In fact, he also hoped that Wang Gui could kill the Song army who surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin in Anyang County, otherwise, they would come to loot Tangyin County sooner or later.
The current situation in Hebei is very chaotic. The main reason is that the main force of the Jinbing army has all gone south and has not completely controlled Hebei. Although each state has a certain number of garrisons, it does not mean that every county has garrisons. The forces are interspersed with each other. There are real Jin soldiers, and there are also former Song Dynasty troops who surrendered to the Jin. Now they are called Han soldiers, and dozens of anti-Jin forces are active.
However, these anti-gold forces are not large, and they are relatively scattered, ranging from hundreds to dozens of people, all distributed in relatively remote counties.
The army led by Yue Fei is also one of the anti-gold forces. Its size is above the middle level, with about 300 people, all of whom are soldiers from Xiangzhou. Yue Fei did not stay in Xiangzhou, but moved to the Fuyangguan area of Cizhou. The Jinbing in Cizhou had almost no garrisons, and the mountains were high and densely forested, making it easy to hide.
During this time, Yue Fei was also quite anxious. He knew that the main force of the Jin Bing was attacking the capital, and he also hoped to do something in Hebei to affect the logistics of the Jin Bing.
What he thought of was the food route of the Jin soldiers. The food route of the Jin soldiers was from Daming Mansion to Xiangzhou and then to Liyang County. Xiangzhou's nails have to be pulled out.
Yue Fei also knew that he alone could not shake Xiangzhou's garrison. It would be best if the anti-gold forces united. During this time, he was busy contacting more than a dozen anti-gold forces on Hebei West Road, but the result Not optimistic. Most of these anti-golden forces have a heart of self-preservation and are unwilling to fight against the golden soldiers.
Yue Fei's garrison is in Dashishan Town near Fukou Pass. This is a relatively remote town with more than a hundred households, most of whom are hunters. Because the terrain is dangerous and the Taihang Mountain is backed by it, they can hide in the Taihang Mountain immediately if they find danger. , and it is only ten miles away from the official road, it is a place where you can retreat and defend.
At 10 noon, Yue Fei was gnawing dry buns while paying attention to a map on the boulder. This is the map of Xiangzhou, on which the logistics supply line of the Jinbing was drawn with a red pen.
Yue Fei is currently serving as the Deputy Commander of Xiangzhou. This is the official position that the imperial court finally conferred on him. Because of his official position, he has the right to call all kinds of anti-gold forces. However, the Song army was completely defeated by the Jin soldiers. The prestige has been greatly reduced, plus hundreds of thousands of people are fighting in Hebei, and there are so many various commanders, Yue Fei, the deputy commander, is already worthless. Reasonable.
At this time, the deputy general Xu Qing came over and said with a smile: "Will Brother Wu still not give up?"
Yue Fei shook his head, "With only a thousand cavalry guards, this opportunity is rare!"
"But even with a thousand cavalry, we are far from being an opponent."
Yue Fei's eyes were gloomy. If the other anti-golden forces could unite in response to his call, then they would have a chance. It's just that everyone only cared about their own interests, and they were afraid that a little bit of their army would be annexed by others. Such an anti-golden force would not be a big deal!
At this moment, a soldier rushed over and bowed to report: "Qi Commander, Wang Tongzhi sent someone here."
Yue Fei was startled, "Which king rules?"
The soldier hesitated and said, "It's Wang Tongzhi, your fellow countryman who studied together."
"Wang Gui!"
Yue Fei was overjoyed at once, Wang Gui actually came, he said repeatedly: "Hurry up and let someone come over."
Not long after, a soldier was led over, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "See Commander Yue."
"You're welcome, please get up and talk."
The soldier stood up and handed a letter to Yue Fei, "This is a letter from my family."
Yue Fei took the letter and read it carefully, his eyes gradually lit up, and he asked quickly, "Where is Wang Tongzhi now?"
"He is currently in Linlu County, and I hope that Commander Yue can go over and discuss major plans."
Yue Fei nodded, turned to Xu Qing and said, "Assemble brothers, let's set off immediately!"
Linlu County is a unique existence in Xiangzhou. Among the four counties in Xiangzhou, it lags far behind the other four counties in terms of population, commerce, grain production, and county size. It is like the poorest branch of a big family, always Being looked down upon by others has no status in Xiangzhou.
But during the war, he became a lucky man who was favored by God. So far, he is the only county town among dozens of surrounding counties that has not been ransacked by the Jin soldiers. There is no oil and water on the ground itself, so it escaped by luck.
Wang Gui once served as a regiment trainer in Xiangzhou and was very familiar with Xiangzhou. He led the army to take a small road and stationed in Linlu County.
Xiangzhou is Wang Gui's first target. For the past two days, Wang Gui has been thinking about how to deal with the enemy. The current situation is a bit beyond his expectation. He would like to think that Xiangzhou only has a few hundred gold soldiers, which can be wiped out in one battle, but he did not expect It turned out that there were still more than 2,000 Song soldiers who surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, so the Jin soldiers were enough to defend Anyang County, and they did not bring siege weapons.
This battle is really not easy to fight. . . . .
Linlu County is not far from Dashishan Town where Yue Fei is stationed, about two hundred miles apart, but if you take the official road, you have to go around in a big circle, at least five hundred miles. Then we arrived at Linlu County.
Soldiers rushed to report earlier, Wang Gui and Niu Gao greeted them in person, the three reunited after a long absence, and hugged each other excitedly.
"Ah Gui, you've actually been promoted to control, congratulations!"
Wang Gui smiled and waved his hands, "It's just sending officials, and the official rank is still the sixth rank. When the war is over, I will return to my original shape!"
"After the war, you should be promoted!"
"Fifth brother, how are you?"
"It's hard to explain in one word, let's go in and talk slowly!"
The three walked while talking, and soon entered the county seat. Wang Gui pointed at the county seat with a horsewhip, and asked, "I asked the county magistrate, and he said that we are stationed in Linlu County. It is impossible for the Jin soldiers in Anyang County to know. Is that so?" ?"
Yue Fei smiled and said: "It depends on how you came to Linlu County. If you take the official road, you will definitely pass through Anyang County. If you take the small road, then they may not know."
"Would you be so negligent?"
"Not an oversight."
Yue Fei said lightly: "It's contempt. The golden soldiers don't care about us at all, so it doesn't matter to send patrols. They don't need to care about our existence. In their eyes, we are just ants under their feet."
"So when we come here, Jin Bing won't know."
Yue Fei nodded, "It should be so, unless someone betrayed you."
"Fifth brother, do you think Jiang Hua will betray us?"
"Jiang Hua!"
Yue Fei was startled, and reined in his horse, "Have you gone to Tangyin County?"
"There is the only way to go, and he told us your whereabouts. I think since he didn't betray you, he shouldn't betray us either."
Yue Fei pondered for a while and said: "It's hard to say, there is no great benefit in betraying me, but you are different, but since you are safe and sound in Linlu County, then I guess he didn't betray you, but it's better to be careful. It's better to send someone to monitor Anyang County.”
Wang Gui quickly sent a few scouts to Anyang County to monitor Jin Bing's every move.
Yue Fei was invited to the Town God's Temple, where the army was temporarily stationed. The large open space in front of the Town God's Temple could be used to garrison troops, and the Town God's Temple itself became a military office.
"Sit anywhere!"
Wang Gui smiled and asked Yue Fei to sit down, "Anyway, we won't stay here for long, so we don't bother to clean up."
Yue Fei sat down and asked directly: "Do you want to attack Anyang County?"
Wang Gui shook his head, "We are not interested in the city, we just want to annihilate the golden soldiers in Anyang County."
Yue Fei smiled slightly, "Sure enough, I was right. If so, I have a wonderful plan."
Wang Gui and Niu Gao looked at each other, and said happily together: "What plan?"
