Chapter 181 Qu Duan, let's go lure the enemy together!

"The official's banner!"

At the foot of Guangwu Mountain, at the top of the city of Biankou City, several defenders suddenly pointed to the black flags that appeared on the horizon in the distance and shouted loudly.

The person on duty in Biankou City today was Yue Fei's general Li Qiong. He was a yellow-faced scholar. The official student from Xiangzhou joined the army, which was considered to be both civil and military. Therefore, when he was training in Xiangzhou, he was also looked up by He Guan and He Ji and his son, and gave him a team leader. Later, he and a group of Xiangzhou officers were transferred to Yue Fei's command. Zhao Kai trusted his ten "brothers" who led the army very much and allowed them to bring a large group of old subordinates when they were transferred.

Yue Fei's old subordinates were mainly a group of Xiangzhou people, with about fifty or sixty people, all of whom were officers. The higher-ranking officials were Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, Xu Qing, Yao Zheng, Kou Cheng, Wang Jing, Li Dao, and Li Qiong.

In addition, Yue Fei also had 800 cavalrymen, all of whom were brought out from the Pingding Army or selected from the Xiangzhou soldiers. These cavalry, like those old subordinates, would be mobilized with Yue Fei... As long as Yue Fei was still leading the troops, they could follow!

This idea seems a bit "warlord" and seems to be building the "Yue Family Army". But in fact, the system of government troops promoted by Zhao Kai determines that he must make the generals leading the troops have some troops in their hands. Otherwise, the government troops will not be able to take them!

The government soldiers were not permanent soldiers, and there was also the issue of separation of soldiers and generals. Later generations summarized that when the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were weak, they would say that soldiers and generals were separated. The generals did not know the soldiers and generals, and soldiers did not know the generals? In fact, the government soldiers were also like this. When soldiers were farming in the village, they were under the jurisdiction of Zhechong Mansion, and only after the previous assembly was held.

In history, even people like General Tiance, Shangshu Ling, and King Li Shimin of Qin could only mobilize more than 800 warriors to launch the Xuanwu Gate Incident during peacetime!

More than 800 people were also the quota for Zhao Kai to give to the ten brothers and a group of generals at the military command level - but these people were not the generals' servants, but the regular soldiers in the camp at all times.

With them, the generals can reorganize a group of soldiers who have been loose for a while in a relatively short period of time. After entering the battlefield, they can also have a useful supervision and assault force. Moreover, Zhao Kai can also transfer these generals who are in charge of the command and above between the troops.

This method of mobilizing generals is the suggestion of good brothers such as Han Shizhong, Huang Wuji, Xiang Ke, Liu Qi, He family brothers, Yue Fei and Zhang Jun!

According to them, if the generals are not mobilized for a long time, they will either decay and the troops below will become useless. Or they will develop huge forces, which is very dangerous.

If the generals only bring a few staff members and personal soldiers to mobilize them, it will be difficult to control the huge army and are easily overwhelmed by the people below. Such mobilization is meaningless, so a group of subordinates who can fight must be mobilized collectively.

Look, this is a good brother!

This is the purpose of kowtowing and praying to the hands together!

Maybe this group of people will be disagreeable with Zhao Kai in the future, but now, they really want to help Zhao Kai manage his troops well. Because there is still a huge common interest between them and Zhao Kai.

With these ten solid commanders and commanders, Zhao Kai's army is simply incomparable to the Song army earlier.

Not only did they eat empty wages, but they basically disappeared (there were not many soldiers when they were not on the market, and after the Khan was a little more soldiers, they didn't know where to lead the troops. It was difficult to eat empty wages and drink military blood in the system), and the troops were also very tightly trained.

It was already evening now, and there were still thousands of infantrymen carrying dozens of kilograms of heavy objects running around in the open space outside Biankou City...

A little further away, there are cavalry practicing archery!

Li Qiong's troops have a duty today, so they can be more relaxed, without training, just stay on duty.

Seeing Zhao Kai's big banner, someone immediately rushed to report that Li Qiong, who was on duty in Biankou City, knew. After Li Qiong got the news, he sent light cavalry to investigate according to the order issued by Yue Fei, and ordered the people below to strengthen their vigilance - what if the Jin thieves pretended to be officials to cheat the camp?

You must not take it lightly!

After making arrangements for defense, he sent a cavalry to the Central Army camp on Guangwu Mountain.

When Zhao Kai returned the news to the Central Army camp on Guangwu Mountain, Han Shizhong, Huang Wuji, Yue Fei, Li Xiaozhong, Liu Qi, Zhe Yanzhi and others were discussing the military in the tent around the map.

Each of them had a serious face, and there was a vague ease between this solemnity.

Because in the past few days, they were almost defeated by the Golden Thieves...yes, they were almost!

Although these people hadn't even seen the Jin thief army yet, they were almost defeated!

This is the awesome thing about the Golden Thieves!

It is also the awesome place for the great cavalry on the Central Plains!

It was really hard to stop the movement of the Jin cavalry with strong combat effectiveness. Although Zhao Kai's army guarded the dangerous city of Kaifeng, Guangwu Mountain, Xingyang, Xingze and other places, and controlled the key to Luoyang and Hebei.

But they had no way to stop Yin Shuke's 30,000 troops from moving on the Great Plains. If Yin Shuke's army set out from Chenliu and rushed straight to Nanyang - that is, about 600 miles, for Yin Shuke's cavalry, a journey of 10 miles a day is only 6 days. Even if you walk a little slower, you will arrive in 10 days.

After arriving in Nanyang, Yin Shu didn’t have to capture Nanyang. Just divide the troops into Bowang, Shiqiao, north and northeast of Nanyang to deploy defenses to the lower entrance area, blocking the passage from Nanyang to Luoyang and Guangwu Mountain, making it impossible for Nanyang’s food to be transported to Luoyang and Guangwu Mountain... Jin soldiers can win!

Fortunately, Yin Shuke was not so brave. He just attacked and seized Mi County (located south of Xingyang) in Zhengzhou, and then divided his troops to attack Dengfeng.

Although Dengfeng seems to be difficult to keep, it will not be able to seal the throat with one sword.

So there are still some fighting in this battle!

Although some are beaten, it is not easy to beat!

......

"My brother has met my elder brother!"

"My minister Zhe Yanzhi has met the official family!"

"No gifts, tell me, what's the situation? How do you prepare to fight?"

In the Guangwu Mountain Central Army camp, Zhao Kai, who had just arrived, didn't even breathe, so he came directly to participate in the military agreement.

"Brother," Han Shizhong said, "The Jin thieves sent troops to copy our food routes... to what was expected! They have many cavalry, strong combat power, good at raiding, and short of attacking cities. Seeing Kaifeng Prefecture and Guangwu Mountain area being kept tightly, they will definitely find a way to attack our food routes."

Zhao Kai nodded, "Since it's expected, there must be a way to deal with it, right?"

"I discussed a countermeasure," said Huang Wuji, "We want Quduan to protect grain from Nanyang and towards Ruzhou, and act like protecting grain from Luoyang.

At the same time, we will command the three armies here in Guangwu Mountain to launch an attack on Dengfeng and Mi County."

"Will Qu Duan be very dangerous?" Zhao Kai asked, "If the Jin thief finds that he transports grain into Luo, he will definitely go to Ruzhou to block him."

Han Shizhong smiled and said, "Then we can follow the Jin soldiers to Ruzhou... As long as Quduan can withstand the Jin thieves for a few days, our 30,000 army will arrive. At that time, we will meet with Quduan, and there will be more than 40,000 people, and we should be able to win."

There are also 30,000 people on the side of the Golden Thieves!

If you fight for 40,000 and you will definitely win... I have to say that Han Shizhong is full of confidence now!

However, Zhao Kai was not as confident as Han Shizhong, so he turned his attention to Yue Fei again.

Yue Fei said: "There is also the Tiance Central Army in Luoyang, so the commander-in-chief can lead them to the south to seize Yingyang to support Quduan. In addition, there is also a army of Li Yongqi in Xiangcheng and Ye County in Ruzhou... They can be allowed to advance west along the Ru River and meet with Quduan in Liang County.

If Your Majesty’s Imperial Army also participates in the war, then we will only invest seven armies, at least 60,000 (each army has to leave some troops to guard the house) and we should be able to take a try!"

"But what about the Jin soldiers from Chenliu and Huazhou?" Dong Jingang interrupted, "There are tens of thousands of people! If they join, the number of people on both sides will be similar!"

Zhao Kai, who now has 300,000 soldiers in the palace, is still at a disadvantage if he compares with the Jin Dynasty. Moreover, his army is not mobile, so it is certainly not easy to gain a military advantage in local battlefields... The Song Dynasty did not have such a real-number of imperial guards at the time, so it was not surprising that it was a big loss and lost.

"That's to fight slow!" Yue Fei said, "As long as we can gather 60,000 people first, we will severely damage the Jin soldiers who entered Dengfeng, the situation will be alive... After the matter is finished, we will retreat directly to Luoyang, and Nanyang is fine."

"I don't want Guangwu Mountain?" Zhao Kai asked with a frown.

"If the food transportation does not enter Guangwu Mountain, Guangwu Mountain will sooner or later be lost!" Yue Fei said in thought, "If the Jin thief is really hit hard, he will definitely not dare to stay in the southwest of Kaifeng Prefecture for a long time. He will definitely withdraw back to Songzhou or Chenliu soon. Guangwu Mountain will be safe and sound at that time!"

"Okay!" Zhao Kai nodded, "Then do it like this!"

Han Shizhong and Yue Fei were both the same, and of course Zhao Kai would not disapprove!

However, Han Shizhong shook his head gently, "The official family, Qu Duan is domineering and has never been very obedient. Let's let him be a bait, just fear..."

Qu Duan's bad temper is famous among the Western Army. He is even harder than Yue Fei and often does not obey commands.

Moreover, he is not Zhao Kai's brother! He has never received Zhao Kai's kindness of knowing and saving his life. He will not conquer the world for Zhao Kai as wholeheartedly as Yue Fei... Of course, he will not do such a job that can lure the enemy to death.

Of course, I dare not openly disobey orders. He is not that stupid yet. But he is silly and uses some tricks to prevent the Jin thieves from discovering him or selling his friendly troops. This kind of thing is not a piece of cake for him, an old soldier?

"This matter is easy to deal with!" Zhao Kai slapped his chest, "Leave it to me... I'll go and tell him personally!"

In person? What does it mean?

The Imperial Camp Military Senator Zhe Yan asked: "Official family, do you want to go to Nanyang to give orders to Quduan?"

"No," Zhao Kai waved his hand and smiled, "I will send troops with Qu Duan!"
