The whole story of Yue Fei's Northern Expedition
Hengli, Niu Hao and Peng Qi recovered Ruzhou (now Ruzhou City, Henan Province), Yingchangfu (now Xuchang City, Henan Province) and Xinyang Army (now Xinyang City, Henan Province) and other places. Zhai Cong, Dong Zhen, Zhang Gui, Dong Gui and Yedda Chiu. He invaded Xijing Nanfu and executed Meng Bangxiong, the pseudo-Qi Henan Yin who stole the imperial tomb of the Song Dynasty. But Liu Yu immediately turned to Jin Jun for help.
In March, Yuan Shuai Zuodu met Wan Yanzong Bi, and Li Cheng led 20,000 puppet Qi troops to fight Song Jun in the northwest of Kaifeng. Hengli, Niu Hao and other troops were defeated by Jin Fang's heavily armored Tiefutu cavalry. By 10, Zhai Cong's Fengniu stronghold in Yiyang County, Dengzhou (now dengzhou city, Henan Province), Suizhou (now Suizhou, Hubei Province), Tang Zhou (now tanghe county, Henan Province), Xiangyang House, Yunzhou (now Zhongxiang, Hubei Province) and other places were successively captured and lost by Jin Jun, and Hengli,,, Dong Xian and Li Dao were successively lost. Li Cheng, a pseudo-Qi, contacted Yang Yao, Huang Cheng and other rebels in Dongting Lake and agreed to attack the north and south in June next year. The pseudo-Qi army and Yang Yaojun kept pace, "joined forces in central Zhejiang" along the Yangtze River, destroyed the Southern Song regime, and the two sides "founded the country and negotiated peace".
After being defeated by Song Jun in the Yangtze River valley, Li Dao and Niu Hao repeatedly wrote to Yue Fei and Zhao Ding, the envoy of Jiangnan West Road, asking for "restraining Yue Fei". Song Ting then merged Niu Hao, Dong Xian, thousands of people and Li Dao into Yue Jiajun, and Zhang Gui was also placed under the jurisdiction of Yue Fei. Zhai Cong was appointed as the charger of Jiangnan East Road and became an independent army; Hengli and Yue Fei are basically at the same level, and neither of them wants to belong to Yue Fei. Their 15,000 troops were transferred to Zhang Jun, who had a higher official position.
1 134 (Shaoxing four years), in order to defeat the joint plan of the pseudo-Qi army and Yang, Yue Fei decided to hit Li Cheng first, and then Yang Yao. "After being pacified, Li Cheng abandoned his division and fled, while Yang Yao lost support." The first time, the dirty soldiers were ready, and then they were beaten. "In the imperial court, Prime Minister Zhu Shengfei supported this practice:" Xiangyang is the upper class, and Wu and Shu all enter. "If you get it, you can be a thief and retreat. I am trapped in shackles today, so I will take it first. " Zhao Ding, who has just transferred from Jiangnan West Road to the government to participate in politics, also supports Yue Fei: "Knowing the interests of the upper class, there is no reason to fly." However, Chui Fu, who signed the Order in Council, opposed the appointment of Yue Fei to send troops, and Liu Guangshi, who was guarding Huainan West Road, also asked to replace Yue Fei to "deal with Jingxiang".
1 130 (the first year of Shaoxing) In July, Song Ting reorganized a new regular army because the old "forbidden soldiers" had been scattered by the war. Zhang Jun and his subordinates were organized as "SHEN WOO Right Army", while Han Shizhong and his subordinates were organized as "SHEN WOO Zuo Jun", both of which were under the control of the capital. Wang and his men formed the "former army", and Chen Sigong and his men formed the "post army", both of whom were controlled. YueGuJun under the command of Zhang Jun, bugle call for "SHEN WOO right deputy army". Yue Fei sits in Hongzhou. The military forces of Yan, the former right deputy commander-in-chief, were assigned to the comfort department of Jiangnan East Road, and the vacancy was filled by Yue Fei. 10, Song Ting promoted the virtual title of Yue Fei's military attache to pro-doctor Wei He Jian Zhou observer, as an observer. 12, Xin Qizong, controlled by "Deputy Army of SHEN WOO", was dismissed for his ineffective suppression of Fan in Fujian. Yue Fei's "SHEN WOO Right Deputy Army" was renamed "SHEN WOO Deputy Army" and promoted to "Deputy Army".
1 132 (the second year of Shaoxing) At the end of June, Yue Fei was appointed as a well-known messenger of peace and general manager of Jinghu East Road, and led the army to Tanzhou. In February, the hawkish leader Li Gang was appointed as the propaganda ambassador of Guangnan Road in Beijing and Shanghai, and generals such as Yue Fei were assigned to Li Gang's subordinates to punish Cao Cheng, a bandit on Hudong Road. At that time, Yue Jiajun's strength was 12000, Yue Fei was stationed in Jizhou (now Ji 'an City, Jiangxi Province) with 2000, and the remaining 10000 attacked Cao Cheng's army.
In the battle, Yue Jiajun had the advantage, but Cao Cheng's expert Yang Zaixing was extremely brave. First, he broke into the camp of Han Shunfu, the fifth leader of Yuegujun, and cut off Han's arm and died. Then he killed Yuefei's brother Yueshen. But Yang Zaixing was eventually captured by Yue Jiajun and became one of the famous experts of Yue Jiajun in the future. Li Gang praised Yue Fei for his "strong teeth, serious military management and outstanding achievements, which are rare in recent years" and asserted that he was "a great star of rejuvenation in different times". In the leap of June, Yue Fei was promoted to three positions, namely, doctor in central defence and ambassador in Wu 'an, and still belonged to five categories. After the crusade against Cao Cheng, Yuegujun's strength doubled, reaching about 23,000 to 4,000, which was similar to that of Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun. Deng Cong, the eunuch, was ordered to go to Torin Temple to ask Yue Fei to reply. Yue Fei "wants to thank him for his failure", but Deng Cong insisted on not allowing it, but Yue Fei "can't afford three letters". Finally, Song Gaozong issued a severe warning to Yue Fei and his subordinates, saying that Yue Fei "has not been ordered to repay his kindness, and it is obvious that he is an official and so on, which is not invited by the state", and that "if he delays in accordance with the former, he will be exempted from punishment again, and his officials and so on will run away". Li Gang, a hawk, also wrote a letter to Yue Fei alone, saying that' Fu Xuan had little talent, was extremely negligent in filial piety, and held a mourning shirt', and earnestly hoped that he would not' take personal goodness as a waste of righteousness' and' learn from the way of rising, build an immortal industry and help the industry of ZTE'. Yue Fei finally made up his mind to give up etiquette. After returning to Ezhou, he led the troops to guard the town, and at the same time made Yao's "carving wood as an image, saving the province as if it were born."
Zhang Jun, the prime minister of the hawk faction, began to serve as a front-line teacher in the first month of 1 136 (the sixth year of Shaoxing). Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun, four generals of ZTE, were all called to discuss military affairs in Zhenjiang. Zhang Jun praised Song Gaozong's bravery and Yue Fei's efforts to do great things. In March, Song Ting appointed Han Shizhong as the envoy of Huaidong Road, Yue Fei as the deputy envoy of Jinghu Road and Jingxi Road, and moved the capital to Vu Thang to appoint our army.
The military meeting of Hangfu decided that Han Shizhong Chengzhou and Chuzhou sent troops to attack Huaiyang Army on JD.COM East Road (now southwest of Pizhou City, Jiangsu Province), Yue Fei set off from Ezhou to Xiangyang House and then went to the Northern Expedition, Zhang Jun set off from Jiankang House to Sizhou, Liu Guangshi set off from Taiping State to Luzhou, and Yang Yizhong's Qian Dian Division was the backup of his old boss Zhang Junyi Army. Han Shizhong and Yue Fei attack, while Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi defend.
In mid-February, Han Shizhong attacked, but Yue Fei still met Song Gaozong in Lin 'an, unable to cooperate. Han Shizhong defeated the puppet Qi Shoujun in Suqian County (now Suqian City, Jiangsu Province) of Huaiyang Army and besieged the city of Huaiyang Army. But six days later, the puppet troops came and Han Shizhong was forced to retreat.
At that time, Wang Yan was seriously ill, and his "eight-character army" (to protect the deputy army before going to camp) was stationed in Jingnan County, adjacent to the Yuejiajun defense zone. In February, Zhao Ding (left) and Zhang Jun (right) decided to move the "Eight-character Army" to Xiangyang Prefecture, and Wang Yan became the magistrate of Xiangyang Prefecture and the peace envoy of Southwest Beijing Road, and Yue Fei controlled it. So that when Wang Yan died, the "eight-character army" was incorporated into Yue Jiajun. However, Wang Yan refused to accept the appointment on the grounds of the past and his health improved again. Song Ting then transferred the "Eight-character Army" to Lin 'an Prefecture. In this way, Yue Jiajun not only did not strengthen his military strength, but took over the scattered troops of the "Eight-character Army" Jingnan government department. As soon as Yue Fei's second Northern Expedition ended, the puppet troops of Qi, Liu and Yu immediately counterattacked. 1 136 (Shaoxing six years) In September, Liu Yu led an army of 700,000 to attack Huainan West Road in Liu Guangshi. Although Song Ting was opposed by right-wing Zhang Jun, left-wing Zhao Ding mobilized Yuegujun to support Jiangzhou and Chizhou. Yue Fei went to Jiangzhou, Liu Yu was repelled by Liu Guangshi, and Yue Fei had to return to Ezhou. However, Liu Yu immediately turned to attack Yue Jiajun in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Yue Jiajun stayed in Shangzhou, Zhouguo, Dengzhou and Tang Zhou (these places were later ceded to the signed Shaoxing Peace Conference), and all his troops fought against the pseudo-Qi army and a small amount of 8 Jin Army.
1 1 month 10, the king of Gui attacked the crowd with fewer soldiers and defeated the main force of 100,000 puppet troops led by Liu Yu's younger brother Liu Fu in Daqimu, not far from Hejiazhai, Tang Zhou. Liu Fu just survived. 1 1 month15th, Yue Fei had just returned to Ezhou from Jiangzhou, and he personally sent troops to the Northern Expedition. In Zhou State, after defeating the puppet Qi army, Yue Jiajun took control of Koucheng and killed all 500 prisoners, and disobeyed Yue Fei's military order not to kill the puppet prisoners. Koucheng did not make meritorious service, but was impeached by Yue Dao. In Dengzhou, he defeated, Wei, Shi Fu and Ren Anzhong. , was controlled by the pseudo-Qi Xijing left-behind company, with 10,000 troops, 1,000 prisoners, Shi Fu and other people, and captured more than 500 horses. Wei fled back to Xijing Luoyang. In Tang Zhou, Niu Hao and others defeated the puppet Qi army with 8,000 infantry in Fangcheng County, beheaded Ma Ruyi, captured 1,000 people and captured more than 300 war horses.
When Yue Fei reached the front, the defeated army had pursued the puppet troops and entered Cai Zhou. Yue Fei decided to bring ten days' food and grass to follow up. When I arrived at the gates of Caizhou, I found that the Yugoslav capital was solid, and the departments of Pseudo-Cheng, Xu Li, Tangyuan, Kong Yanzhou,, and so on were all lying in ambush nearby, ready to converging on Yuegujun. Yue Fei decided to retire. Li Chengyi, the old rival, caught up again, but was defeated by Wang Gui and Dong Xian. Yue Jiajun captured dozens of generals, thousands of soldiers and 3,000 horses.
After the transfer of troops, Wang Gui was promoted to be the full-time defense envoy of Emperor Zhou, and Niu Hao was promoted to be the commander-in-chief of Dragon Shenwei and the secretariat of Jianzhou. 1 140 (Shaoxing Decade) In May, Wan Yanzong tore up the peace talks and divided the troops into four roads south. Zong Bi led the main force into Kaifeng House, Marshal Hong Sa Li He attacked Shaanxi, Jin Henan magistrate Li Cheng attacked Xijing Henan (now Luoyang), and Nie attacked Song Road.
On the battlefield in Shaanxi, due to the death of Wu Jun in the previous year, the right-back army under its jurisdiction was controlled by lieutenants Hu Shi, Wu Lin (Wu Jun's younger brother), Zheng Yang and Guo Hao, and it was in a stalemate in Guanzhong, and the two sides were in a stalemate on the battlefield in JD.COM Road. Song Jingdong announced Huaidong Road, so that Han Shizhong's troops captured Haizhou (now Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province) and were in Huaiyang Army. This east-west road is in a draw. The most crucial central battlefield, led by Wan Yanzong Bi, with the help of Li Chengyi's army, competed with Yue Fei's "Yue Jiajun", Zhang Jun's "Guard Camp Army" and Liu Kun's 20,000 "Eight-character Army" (appointed by Song Ting as the deputy left-behind in Kaifeng at that time).
The help of the "eight-character army"
In May, Liu Kun's 28-character army passed Shunchang House (now Fuyang City, Anhui Province) on its way to Kaifeng. In Shunchang, waiting for work is easy, and the less you win, the more you win. First, we defeated the 8 Jin Army led by Wang Hong and Wang Longhu, and once again defeated the main force led by Zong Bi. The "Eight-character Army" repelled the Nuzhen main forces "Tiefutu" and "Kidnapping Horse" who attacked Shunchang with horse-refusing equipment and heavy axes in the form of city warfare. More than 5,000 people died, more than 10,000 people were injured, and more than 3,000 horses died in Shunchang. 8 jin j "said into the central plains for fifteen years, lost to Wu Jun, lost land for profit; Losing to Liu Wei today is really a defeat in the war. "Fifteen years, there is no such fight. "8 jin j from full-scale attack to part of the defense, ZongBi, tu quickly returned to kaifeng, Han Changshou Yingchang mansion, general zhai huaining mansion, three people should be unified and keep the day, with Yingchang, huaining, Yingtian as kaifeng defense.
Keyingchang House and Huaining House
On June 12, Yue Jiajun took control of Zhang Xi 'an and Yao Zheng, led the former army and the Youyi Army to capture Cai Zhou, and Yue Fei appointed Ma Yu to guard Cai Zhou. On 13th, Zuo Jun, controlled by Yue Jiajun in Niu Hao, defeated Jin Jun on Jingxi Road, conquered Niu Hao's hometown of Lushan and other counties, and threatened Ruzhou. On 23rd, Yue Jiajun led Sun Xian to break Pei Man's command between Cai Zhou and Huaining House.
Leap on June 19th, 40 miles away from Yingchang Mansion, former military commander Fu Xuan and others defeated Han Chang, commander-in-chief of Han State in Jin State. The next day, Zhang Xian attacked Yingchang Fucheng. Han Chang fled back to Kaifeng and was personally whipped by Wan Yanzong Bi. Zhang Xian left Dong Xian's White Army and Yao Zheng's You Yijun to defend Yingchang House, and he entered Huaining House in the east with Niu Hao and Xu Qing. At noon on 24th, in the 5th/kloc-0 Song Dynasty outside Huaining County, more than 3,000 people were defeated by Jin Qi. They chased them to several places in Song Li outside the city, defeated General Jin Fangzhai and occupied Huaining Fucheng. Jin captured Wang Taibao and others.
On the morning of 25th, Han Chang tried to recapture Yingchang Fucheng, and Nuzhen Xie also led more than 6,000 violet to ride back to attack the White Army and You Yijun, and suffered a crushing defeat. At this point, the three strategic points of 8 Jin Army's defense of Kaifeng House were removed by Yue Jiajun within a few days. The remaining one is Yingtianfu in Nanjing, which is an escort war zone in Zhang Jun Daying. According to the Book of Jin, Jin Jun won many times here.
On the other hand, on 15, Wang Gui defeated more than 5,000 cavalry led by the commander of 8 Jin Army, Man Du Hua, and occupied Zhengzhou. On the 29th, Liu was going to raid the monopoly camp in Kaifeng zhongmou county (now zhongmou county) at night, basically eliminating the 8 Jin Army and capturing more than 350 horses. On July 1 day, Hao Yong, deputy commander of China Army, who was stationed in Song Dynasty, 60 miles away from Fucheng, Henan Province, defeated Li Cheng, the magistrate of Shanxi and Henan. The next day, he captured Xijing Henan Province.
Battle of Yancheng
At the beginning of July, a month and a half after Shunchang's defeat, Wan Yanzong Bi was reinforced by Gai Tianwang, such as Wan Yanzong Xian (Saili). After learning that Yue Fei himself was commanding Yue Jiajun in Yancheng, the whole army went straight to Yancheng, the headquarters of Yue Jiajun, which led to the decisive battle of the main force.
On the 8th, the horse scout reported that Yue Fei was led by Wan Yanzong Bi, the dragon and tiger king Yan Yan Sudu, the king of Gai Yan Zongxian, the general Han Chang of Zhaowu and other generals. More than 15,000 elite war horses appeared on Song Li Road, which is only 20 miles away from Yancheng. Yue Fei ordered Yue Yun to lead 8,000 soldiers and a rebel army out of the city to meet the enemy, and said, "You must win before you come back, or I will kill you first!" In the afternoon, Hong Yanzong Bi arrived in Yancheng, and the cavalry of both sides began a decisive battle. The follow-up troops of 8 Jin Army kept arriving in Yancheng to fight. Yue Yun's Ma Jun constantly beat back 8 jin j's charge. Yang Zaixing, an expert of Yue Jiajun, claimed to capture Yan Zongbi alive and rode into the ranks of 8 Jin Army alone, killing dozens of 8 Jin Army soldiers.
Yue Fei led 40 elite Qin Bing soldiers to stand out from the front. They all trained Huo Jian to be afraid of making mistakes, and went forward to dissuade him: "Xianggong is an important minister of the country. Why should we underestimate the enemy?" Yue Fei replied: "I don't know!" The prancing horse rushed out of the position of shooting the golden army (Yue Fei drew a bow of 300 Jin, which was the highest record among soldiers in the Southern Song Dynasty). Yue Jiajun soldiers saw the commander-in-chief personally and immediately fought to the death. WanYanZongBi ordered the heavy armor "Kidnapper Horse" (the horse and cavalry are both heavy armor, not afraid of arrows and small weapons, but they lost to Song Jun's heavy axe, and every three horses were tied together with a leather rope to "block the wall and enter", specifically defeating Song Jun at a critical moment through group charge-this is a misunderstanding that York was confused). Yue Fei immediately put the elite infantry trained to deal with this tactic of 8 Jin J into battle, and cut the leg of the heavy armor "Guama" with a long-handled hemp Zagreb knife. As long as a horse is cut off with one leg and falls to the ground, all three horses with heavy armor can't run. Elite infantry immediately cut off the shoulders and necks of cavalry with heavy axes and cut off the heads of limbs to kill them. Song Jun has repeatedly used axe soldiers to contain Jin Jun (this is mostly aimed at lightly armored axe soldiers), and heavily armored "Kidnapper Horse" troops are in a mess. When it was dark, the whole army of Hong Yan fled Zongbi. Yue Jiajun came prepared, blocked all the tactics of Wan Yanzong Bi and won the "Battle of Yancheng".
After the Battle of Yancheng and before the Battle of Yingchang
/kloc-On the afternoon of 0/0, Wan Yanzong organized 1000 cavalry to attack Wulidian in the north of Yancheng County. Yue Fei led a great army out of the city and ordered general Wang Gang to take more than 50 cavalry to scout. Wang Gang hacked to death Jin Qiang, who took the lead, and picked out two red paint cards on him and the horse mane, which read "Ali Duo Yan Zi".
13, Zhang Xi' an led the main forces such as the rebel army, the wandering army and the former enemy into Linying County where the remnants of Hong Yanzong Bi were located, seeking a decisive battle with them again. General Yang Zaixing, Wang Lan, Gao Lin, Yao Gang, Li De and other three hundred riding outposts suddenly met the main force of Hong Yanzong Bi when they arrived at Xiaoshanghe in the south of Linying County. There are many senior and middle-ranking officers in the Golden Cavalry fighting Yang Zaixing's three hundred cavalry. In the end, more than 100 people were killed, including Commander Saba (Mutyanzi), Commander Saba (Meng Anyanzi), Commander Centurion (Mokeyanzi) and Commander Fifty (Pufuyanzi). Other nomads from archery, such as Locust and Yang Zaixing, continued to kill each arrow with a broken shaft and an iron arrow stuck in the meat. Finally, the horse got stuck in the mud and was shot to death with an arrow. All 300 soldiers were killed, while 8 Jin Jun paid a higher price, killing thousands of people.
After the First World War on Xiaoshanghe, Yan Zongbi didn't fight the main force of Yuegujun in Zhang Xian, either because he was afraid of Gui Jun's amazing fighting capacity or because of his own tactical needs, leaving 8,000 nomads guarding Linying County and leading the remaining main forces to attack Yingchang Prefecture. At dawn on 14th, Zhang Xianjun captured Linying County, and 8,000 nomads fled in the direction of Yingchang Prefecture or Weishi County of Kaifeng Prefecture (now Weishi County of Henan Province). Zhang Xianjun found Yang Zaixing's body, and after cremation, he burned more than two liters of iron arrows.
Battle of Yingchang
On the morning of 14, all the remaining main forces of Hong Yanzong Bi attacked Yingchang Fucheng, including six commanders, who claimed to have more than 30,000 cavalry and 0,000 infantry/kloc-0,000, which lasted for more than ten songs.
There are five armies in Yuejiajun of Yingchang Prefecture, but apart from stepping on the White Army, Su Zhe, commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, is in Xijing Henan, former army leader Li Dao is in other places, and the main force of the Yi Army and the Youyi Army are in Yancheng County and Linying County, all of which are only a part or even a small part, and the coach Yue Fei is not here. Gui Wang, commander-in-chief of Yuegujun in Yingchang County, and Yao Zheng and Yue Yun led 800 insurgents and some Zhong Jun and Youyijun to fight out of the city, so that Dong Xian led the White Army and Hu Qing led the selected former army to defend the city.
Twenty-two-year-old Yue Yun led 800 insurgents and fought dozens of rounds with the abductors around the main force of 8 Jin J. He went in and out of enemy lines more than ten times and was injured more than a hundred times. Most of Yue Jiajun who went out of the city for a decisive battle were killed as "blood people and blood horses", but Wang Gui was even more discouraged, afraid to play, tried to escape, and was dissuaded by Yue Yun. At noon, Dong Xian and Hu Qing, who were guarding the city, were advancing the White Army and Feng Xuan Army respectively, and nearly 5,000 people went out of the city to reinforce. The whole army of Hong Yan fled in the rout.
In the Battle of Yingchang, there were many senior and middle-ranking officers in the Golden Cavalry who fought against the Eight Hundred Rebels: Xia Jinwu, the son-in-law of Wan Yanzong Bi, was killed; The deputy commander was seriously injured and was carried to Kaifeng and died. The commander-in-chief of the Jin army was killed by five people. Yue Jiajun captured 78 enemy generals, including Wang Songshou and Zhang Laisun, commanders of the Han nationality, and Arribe, commander of the left squad. Killed more than 500 nomads (estimated to be more than 5,000), captured more than 2,000 people and captured more than 3,000 horses.
Battle of Zhuxian Town
Yue Jiajun then advanced across the board and surrounded Kaifeng. On July 8/KLOC-0, Zhang Xian, together with Childe Xu, Shan Li, Fu Xuan, Koucheng and others, led the main force from Linying County to the northeast, defeated thousands of thousands of riding horses met on the road, and seized more than 0/00 horses/KLOC-0. At the same time, Wang Gui sent his troops from Yingchang Prefecture, and Niu Hao also led Zuo Jun to March.
"Bian Hui" and "Yao Lu" do not contain the battle of Zhuxian Town, but refer to the transfer of troops by Yue Fei after the battle of Yingchang. The earliest record of the battle of Zhuxian Town can be found in Volume 8 of Chronicle of Ewang. It is recorded that Wan Yan Zongbi claimed to be stationed in Zhuxian Town in the southwest of Kaifeng for forty-five years, with 100,000 troops, but the whole army was defeated after being attacked by 500 cavalry of Yuejiajun outpost. However, many scholars are skeptical, because there is no relevant record in the official history, and it is unreasonable that Wanyan Zongbi's main force of 100,000 troops is stationed in Zhuxian Town instead of Kaifeng. Perhaps at this time, the number of Jurchen troops in Zhuxian Town is not much.
At this point, after the downfall of Liu Yu's pseudo-Qi, Yue Jiajun, the main force of Yue Fei in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Yan Zongbi, the main force of Jin State, put aside this cushion for the first time and had a real contest. In the Battle of Yancheng, the army of the Nuzhen "Tiefutu" of Wan Yan Zongbi was completely annihilated, and the Nuzhen "Kidnapping Horse" army suffered heavy losses. In the Battle of Xiaoshanghe and the Battle of Yingchang, the remnants of the "horse-turning" army of Yan Hong Zongbi abnormally lost many senior officers of the Nuzhen nationality who were over 100 centurions (before the Battle of Wu Jun, Shang Yuan and Liu Ying). Hong Hao, who was detained in Yanjing at that time for going to the State of Jin, said in his letter: "The defeat of Shunchang and the arrival of Yue Shuai are shocking here." Yue Fei was also happy for the frequent news, and told his subordinates optimistically that he would break the drinking commandment: "This time, kill the gold man until Huanglongfu, and you should also drink with the gentlemen!"
According to Volume 8 of Ezhou Golden Melody Collection and Chronicle of Ewang, Wan Yan Zongbi was forced to give up and flee to Kaifeng at this time. This statement was verified in Volume 77 of History of Jin, Biography of Wan Yan Zongbi: "Zongbi moved from Liyang to Bianbian, and the right prison army left the river and went to Shaanxi. Song and Han Shizhong, according to the main points of Henan counties, returned to Hedong, stationed in Lan, Shihe, to contain each other. Zong Bi sent Kong Yan to Bian Xia and Zhengzhou. " On May 13th, 10th year of Shaoxing, Wan Yanzong Bi occupied Kaifeng for the first time. At this time, Yue Fei was still in Ezhou (now Wuchang, Hubei), and there was no "division of counties in Henan". At this time, Wan Yanzong Bi's opponent was the "Eight-character Army" led by Liu Kun, and Liu Kun had just arrived in Shunchang and was sent to Kaifeng Prefecture to guard. It was after June that Yue Jiajun's whole army attacked and captured the key points of Henan counties. After wars in June, June and July, Yue Fei was forced to dispatch troops after winning twelve gold medals in July. After Kong Yanzhou fled from Kaifeng to the north, he realized that Yue Fei had withdrawn and recaptured Kaifeng.
rush order
At the beginning of July, the Song and Jin armies were tied in the east and west battlefields. Zhang Jun, the central battlefield, suffered repeated minor defeats in Bozhou, Suzhou and other places, but Li did not control the northern expedition of Yuejiajun in central China. Luo Ruyun, an imperial adviser at the confidant temple in Qin Gui, said: "There are few soldiers and the people are trapped in this country. Wouldn't it be dangerous if Yue Fei went deep? May your majesty send a letter to order classes. " On or after July 8th, around the same time as the Yancheng War, Zhao Gou, Song Gaozong issued the first slate imperial edict.
On July 5th, Yue Fei reported the achievements of Liang Xing, Dong Rong, Zhao Jun and Qiao Wojian: "The Golden Thief was nearly defeated, and the four princes led their youngest son across the river. But thieves are still wandering in the south wall of Beijing, but recently they sent 8 thousand people to Hebei. This is your majesty's chance to rejuvenate, and it is the day when the gold thief will die. If you don't follow the trend, you will be afraid of endless troubles. I hope that orders will be given for a quick descent, so that soldiers from all walks of life can make rapid progress and succeed in a few days. "
On July 18, when Zhang Xian arrived in Kaifeng from Linying, the first Bancroft imperial edict was delivered. In view of the battle situation of victory and defeat at that time, Yue Fei wrote an anti-campaign: "Qi Kan and Lu Jin's troops gathered in Tokyo, and suffered repeated defeats, which shocked both at home and abroad. The spy who heard the news wanted to abandon his trench and cross the river in a hurry. In this situation, the hero went against the wind, the foot soldiers saved their lives, the right time, the right place and the right people, the strength is obvious to all, and they made great achievements. I know it day and night, but your majesty will find out. "
After two or three days, Zhuxian Town was already dead. When Yan Hong Zongbi escaped from Kaifeng, it was said that Yue Fei received twelve Bans' letters handed down on gold plates one day. They were all urgent orders with harsh words that could not be refuted, ordering Yue Jiajun to move troops back to Ezhou, while Yue Fei himself went to Lin 'an to appear before the emperor. Song Gaozong won the 12 gold medal around July 10, that is, he got good news from Xijing Henan on July 2.
After receiving such an absurd order, Yue Fei wept bitterly and bowed to the east in the direction of "entering" Lin 'an Prefecture: "Ten years of hard work, once in vain. "When people heard the news, they stopped in front of Yue Fei's horse and cried and worried about the counterattack of the nomads from the Golden Army." I'm waiting for Dai Xiangguo to transport hay to see the loyalist. Ren Jin knows. Xianggong has gone, and my generation has no class. Yue Fei had no choice but to show the imperial edict to everyone with tears in his eyes and said, "I can't stay here without permission." So the crying alarmed Shan Ye. Yue Fei decided to stay in the army for five days so that the local people could move south. "So people in the south, like cities, want to play with idle fields in six counties of Han Dynasty. "
At this time, Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou's control of the war situation is capricious, and they are suspected of trying to be invincible to promote negotiations and peace. After receiving the battle report of Yue Fei's victory in Yancheng, especially after receiving Yue Fei's protest to transfer troops on July 18, on July 25th, he ordered Yang Yizhong's former division commander to go to Huainan West Road from "Hangzai" Lin 'an House to stand by, and issued an imperial edict to Yue Fei to "stay in Jingxi and wait for the thief's intention to contain it".
In mid-August, Yang Yizhong's former division troops arrived in Suzhou and attacked Liu Zi town with 5000 cavalry at night, but there was no sign of nomads from there. Knowing that the Jin army was ambushing heavily on its way home, I don't know whether it is true or not. Whether the Jin army still has fighting capacity, the divisions in front of the temple "ran amok and were routed." Jin Jun took advantage of the victory to occupy Suzhou, and retaliated and slaughtered Song Jun because the local people welcomed him.
Yue Fei has walked a long way to the "Hangzai" Lin 'an Mansion, during which he received a letter from Song Gaozong and a provincial letter from Qin Gui in the name of the three provinces and the Privy Council. Although the content is self-contradictory and inconsistent, in the end, Yue Fei still "gallops on the pilgrimage" and "plays things". When Yue Fei heard the news of Song Jun's defeat from the Central Plains, he could only sigh: "All counties and counties will be closed once and for all! The country is difficult to revive! Gankun World, there is no reason to reply! " As a result, Yue Fei's fourth Northern Expedition failed for political reasons.
