Once Liu Yu was deposed, what was placed in front of Commander Jin Wushu was naturally the Yue Army that had already begun encircling him on three sides.
Liu Yu was so weak that he couldn't even withstand a single blow. Right now, the ones fighting the Yue Army directly were the Great gold soldier horses under his command. According to the arrangement, 100,000 troops were coming towards the two rivers, while the rest of the army was distributed throughout Sichuan, Shan, Shanxi, and Datong, hoping for a true "autumn siege".
Jin Wushu had called for a meeting of the generals, and since it was going to end soon, a few of the Song Kingdom's generals were able to attend. The women were all decisive in their actions and expressed their opinions, but most people were silent, they did not advocate using their troops at this time, especially when facing the Yue Army, who had won many battles, no one dared to be the vanguard. Only King Longhu Tu Hesu was very active, he said: "I found out the news, Da Jin's captive Qin Gui entered the Cabinet of Song Kingdom. This person was weak and cowardly, he must have been secretly aiding Da Jin. A great golden soldier, good at riding and shooting, comes out in the autumn and the winter, and withdraws in the summer. I also found out that the Song Army did not have a large number of troops in Henan. Although the Yue Army was said to be a good place to fight, it did not have the advantage. If we can attack and catch them off guard, and take over two rivers and all of Shaanxi Province in one fell swoop, even if Yue Pengju sends troops to do battle, we will still be powerless … "
This suggestion resonated with Jin Wushu's heart. He clapped his hands and said loudly: "This plan is good, we will act in accordance with this resolution!"
After the meeting, Han Chang hesitated, but Jin Wushu affectionately called out to him like how a Chinese would call him: "Han Eighteen, what else do you want?"
Han Chang no longer hesitated, and advised: "This little one has followed the Fourth Prince for many years, and has no qualms about risking my life or death. However, Da Jin's military might is now very different from when he first entered the Central Plains. The Song Jun today is as brave and fierce as our army, and our army's cowardice is similar to the Song Jun of the past. Fourth Prince insists on using troops, this lowly one believes that it will only harm you and not benefit you … "
These words were originally extremely loyal, but Jin Wushu still found them extremely unpleasant to hear. He had already obtained complete victory in the battle against the Jinguo, Gu Shen and the other important political enemies. Right now, he was completely "above everyone else", other than the title of "Wolf Lord", he was now completely at the top of the Jinguo! It was when he was full of confidence, how could he listen to Han Chang's words?
Seeing him not saying a word, Han Chang summoned up his courage and spoke again: "Earlier, Liu Yu's army of 200 thousand was defeated like a mountain, the Yue Army's momentum is ferocious, if we were to clash head on with them, it is hard to avoid it."
Jin Wushu saw that he did not use any soldiers to fight first, so he was angry in his heart, but he still stabilized his emotions, "How can Han 18 be such a long enemy? Liu Yu's wandering troops are just a motley crowd, how can they be compared with my Great Golden Warrior? "
Although Jin Wushu was known as the number one Big Gold Officer, he was actually very proud of himself. Even more so, he thought that the failure in the past was due to Zong Han and the others being too lazy and arrogant, not cooperating well with the other generals and not asking each other for help. Now that he was in charge of the military affairs of the world and already had the authority to make absolute arrangements, how could he be willing to give up if he did not face to face with his mortal enemy?
Although the strategy for the negotiation had already been set, the basis for the negotiation was using Da Jin's absolute military strength to suppress the other party. Only then, would Zhao Deji be completely afraid of the other party and gain the most benefits. Furthermore, he had another concern that Han Chang was not aware of. No matter how powerful Yue Pengju was, he was restricted by the restrictions of the Song Kingdom: Zhao Deji's, Qin Gui's, and other compromise policies would gradually show itself. In comparison, since he was in charge of the Field Marshal, he did not need to worry about dispatching his troops. If he did not fight now, when would he?
Han Chang was no longer able to advise his otherwise, and could only retreat.
Jin Wushu waited until he had retreated, then looked at his right hand, and laughed complacently: "Hua Rong, you vicious woman have taken this crown prince's life saving Iron Vouchers, do you know that this crown prince doesn't even need that anymore? Rather than waiting to be forgiven for their fate, why not take control over their own life and death? "
The Song Kingdom also quickly found out that Liu Yu had been deposed. After Zhao Deji ascended the throne, this was the first time he received the negotiation "olive branch" from the Jinguo. He was overjoyed, and immediately called for a discussion with Zhang Jun. He first announced the death of Song Huizong with tears streaming down his face. When the courtier heard him, he immediately began to wail. These people were basically not the old officials of the Song Huizong, but according to the usual practice, when Zhao Deji cried, the rest of them could not help but cry, but they truly did not have much feelings for the Song Huizong, and could not shed tears at all.
After crying for a while, he finally gave out an order, "Since the abductors have agreed to return the empress dowager to the empress dowager, then we will not be afraid to show our kindness. We will measure the resources of the Song Kingdom to form a heart of gold …"
Zhang Jun could not help but report: "Now that Yue Pengju is fighting on both rivers and defeating Liu Yu's army is the right time to face Fourth Prince. This subject thinks that we should first defeat Fourth Prince, maybe we can talk about other things later …"
The other ministers seconded, but Qin Gui still had not grasped the true power, so he did not step out and only spoke a few words nonchalantly. Zhao Deji had relied heavily on Yue Pengju all these years. Although he was afraid that Yue Pengju and the Fourth Prince's confrontation would anger the Golden Man, according to his experiences during his ascension to the throne, victory was indeed required as a safeguard.
Qin Gui's heart was filled with joy, he immediately realized the weight of the word "as appropriate", and knew that as long as Zhang Jun this guy continued to be an eyesore, the hassle in the north would not end up well.
The Yue Army who were already garrisoned in the Garden County knew of Liu Yu's demise and his invasion from the south. Everyone was excited, Yue Pengju immediately deployed a few generals to meet the challenge.
On this day, the Song Jun had already reported to the Golden Army that a group of around four thousand people were stationed at Jing Kui's Yellow River coast. The Yue Army immediately dispatched a general Niu Gao to meet the challenge. These four thousand men were the troops sent out by Jin Wushu after he took over the open seal. They temporarily appointed one of the sect leaders, Hu Xuan, to be's brother. Hu Xuan did not encounter a single soldier on his way, but he still did not dare to relax his guard. That night, he arranged for two centurions to lead 50 guards, while the others slept soundly.
When Niu Gao's men arrived in the middle of the night, he used his two blades to break into the enemy's formation. The crowd did not make any noise according to the military rules, they only used all their might to slash and kill.
bellowed, he swung his dual blades and rushed forward, the two of them had fought for a few rounds, and Niu Gao's blade had caught Hu Xuan's knee, one of the Song Jun walked up, and chopped off his head.
When Tu Hesu received the news, he was extremely saddened and said angrily, "Southern Barbarians actually killed his own brother, I will definitely take revenge." Jin Wushu ordered him to lead the army, in addition to sending out seventeen thousand troops of Han Chang.
Han Chang and the Song Jun exchanged blows, within the enemy ranks, one could see a yellow horse galloping about, another was dressed in crimson red Yue Army robes, the only difference was the bow in his hands, compared to the other soldiers.
He saw that the person before him looked familiar, and in a moment of daze, an arrow flew toward him in the midst of a chaotic battle. Han Chang was unable to dodge in time, the small arrow had pierced through his helmet and struck his right eye from inside the eyepatch.
screamed miserably as he fell to the ground while covering his eyes. The Song Jun had caught up to him immediately, but Han Chang realized from the pain that the person who was about to follow him was actually Hua Rong — — he had seen her archery skills at sea and in the Salix.
He didn't dare to fight this timorous battle and immediately led his troops to break out of the encirclement.
Jin Wushu who was waiting for the battle to happen saw Han Chang escaping back, blood flowed from both of his eyes, he bellowed: Han 18, who is the one who shot you into such a state?
Han Chang knelt up, the blood in his eyes was still flowing down his finger: "Fourth Prince, the one who crippled our own eyes, is Yue Pengju's wife, Hua Rong!"
Hua Rong, this woman, gave birth to a son. Why would he come to the battlefield instead of teaching her son at home? When he thought about how she would fight shoulder to shoulder, looking extremely proud, Jin Wushu leapt onto his horse and said, "Let's see how powerful she is when I personally go and fight Hua Rong!"
Yue Army's camp.
A few generals walked in. One of Liu Bao's young generals reported that he had been fighting for many days and was lacking in bows and arrows. This was a fact. Because of the many battles, the arrows could not be replenished in time.
Yue Pengju summoned his staff, causing everyone to hesitate. Hua Rong smiled and said: "I have a plan." She had been in the army for many years and had also accomplished great things in the Miao Liu Military Transformation. Everyone knew his, so they asked one after another, "What brilliant plan did Mrs. Guo have?"
"In the time of the Three Kingdoms, we borrowed arrows from bright grass boats. We can't do it on such a large scale, but we can still think about it along the Yellow River. "
Yu Peng caressed his hands: "Madam's plan is very good."
Yue Pengju also nodded his head, agreeing with his wife's idea. He immediately ordered: "Yang Qin, Huang Zuo, step out."
The two of them had entered the Yue Army after surrendering during the water battle in the palace. Yue Pengju said: "The two of you are proficient in water battles, immediately arrange for the ships to be on standby."
"Yes."
Tu Hesu stepped forward directly in order to take revenge for his brother. That day, they camped on the riverbank in front of Jing Kui. For fear of being attacked, the troops would be split into two, to take turns guarding and resting. When daybreak arrived, they saw 20 Song Jun riders galloping towards them. They dressed in crimson red clothes all around and shot with their bows drawn. Two of the Golden Army s fell to the ground, but the group of people immediately turned around and chased after them. Tu Hesu sent a Centurion to pursue and kill them. When they reached the forest in front of them, they were ambushed by Song soldiers. By the time Tu Hesu's army arrived, the ambushing Song Jun had already moved along the Yellow River.
This Song Jun had a total of 12 small boats, and the boats were covered with grass. Tu Hesu led his large gold army and followed along the river bank to chase, Song Jun raised his shield to resist, thus, there were no casualties. After two hours of shooting, the grass was covered with arrows like twelve huge hedgehogs.
Tu Hesu was helpless and could only watch as the fleet sailed down the river, flustered and exasperated, he ordered everyone: "Search the distant cities immediately, regardless of gender or age, slaughter them all to get revenge."
Golden Army got the order, and searched through the three towns far away, but they only managed to kill a few dozen villagers who were unable to escape in time, and could not find a single grain of food. In the end, they could only kill their horses for a living. One of his captains suggested that Da Jin had always regarded war horses as his life. If he ate all the war horses, he wouldn't be able to gain any benefits, so it would be best for him to retreat. Tu Hesu had no other choice but to withdraw from Jing Kui's side and report back to Jin Wushu.
