One hour later, the three thousand cavalrymen left Tangyin County with some grain and forage and rushed north along the official road.

On the top of the city, Jiang Hua looked at the Song cavalry with complicated eyes and headed north. A confidant next to him whispered: "Do you want to notify Anyang County?"

Jiang Hua shook his head, "They are already suspicious of me, otherwise they would not have left so hasty. If they rashly notify Anyang County, I am afraid you and I will have life worries."

"I'm afraid that the Jin soldiers will settle on us."

"Don't worry about this. I've talked to them. Their target is not just Xiangzhou, and the Jin soldiers 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 Daming Prefecture after they leave Xiangzhou, and the risks can also be avoided."

"It's still Jiang Tuanlian who thought carefully."

Jiang Hua smiled without saying a word, looking at the north with his hands behind his back. In fact, he also hoped that Wang Gui could kill the Song army in Anyang County who surrendered to the Jin Dynasty. Otherwise, they would come to loot Tangyin County sooner or later.

The situation in Hebei is very chaotic at present. The main reason is that the main forces of the Jin soldiers all went south and did not completely control Hebei. Although each state has a certain number of garrisons, it does not mean that every county has garrisons. This has led to various forces in Hebei interspersing each other, including real Jin soldiers and former Song dynasty troops who surrendered to the Jin Dynasty. They are now called Han soldiers and still have dozens of anti-Jin forces.

However, these anti-Jin forces are not large, and they are relatively scattered, with hundreds of people and dozens of people all distributed in relatively remote counties.

The army led by Yue Fei was also one of the anti-Jin forces. Its scale was medium and had about 300 people, all of which were from Xiangzhou. Because the strategic position of Xiangzhou was relatively important, the Jin soldiers stationed 3,000 people in Xiangzhou. Yue Fei did not stay in Xiangzhou, but instead moved to the area of ​​Fuyang Pass in Cizhou. There were almost no garrisons in Cizhou, and the mountains were high and dense forests were easy to hide.

During this period, Yue Fei was quite anxious. He knew that the main force of the Jin soldiers was attacking the capital, and he also hoped to do something in Hebei, which would affect the logistics of the Jin soldiers.

What he thought of was to cut off the grain route of the Jin soldiers. The grain route of the Jin soldiers was from Daming Prefecture to Xiangzhou and then to Liyang County. After crossing the Yellow River on the White Horse, he continued to move south. It was most suitable to take action in Xiangzhou, but to take action in Xiangzhou, you must first remove the nails in Xiangzhou.

Yue Fei also knew that he could not shake the garrison in Xiangzhou alone, and it would be best if the anti-Jin forces were united. During this period, he was busy contacting more than a dozen anti-Jin forces on the West Road of Hebei, but the result was not optimistic. Most of these anti-Jin forces were self-protection and were unwilling to fight against the Jin soldiers.

Yue Fei's troops were stationed in Dashishan Town near Wukou Pass. This is a relatively remote town with more than a hundred families, basically hunters. Because the terrain is dangerous, it is backed by Taihang Mountain. If you find danger, you can hide it in Taihang Mountain immediately. It is only ten miles away from the official road, and it is a place where you can retreat or guard.

At 10 noon, Yue Fei was gnawing dry buns while paying attention to a map on the big stone. This was a map of Xiangzhou, with red pens drawing the logistics supply line of the Jin soldiers.

Yue Fei is currently the deputy commander of Xiangzhou, which was the final official position of the court. It is precisely because of this official position that he has the right to summon various anti-Jin forces. However, the Song army was defeated under the attack of the Jin army, and the prestige of the Song generals has been greatly reduced. In addition, hundreds of thousands of people are fighting in Hebei, and there are so many commanders. Yue Fei, the deputy commander, is no longer worthless, and he has no background, so it is reasonable for all anti-Jin forces to ignore him.

At this time, the deputy general Xu Qing came over and said with a smile: "Does the fifth brother still not give up?"

Yue Fei shook his head, "Only one thousand cavalry guards, the opportunity is rare!"

"But even a thousand cavalry, we are far from being an opponent."

Yue Fei's eyes were gloomy. If several other anti-Jin forces could respond to their call and unite, they would have a chance. But everyone only cared about their own interests, fearing that their little army would be annexed by others. In this way, resisting the Jin Dynasty would not be a big deal!

At this moment, a soldier rushed over and bowed to report: "Report to the commander, Wang Tongzheng sent someone to come."

Yue Fei was stunned, "Which king is in charge?"

The soldier hesitated and said, "It is the king's ruler who is your fellow countryman and you study together."

"Wang Gui!"

Yue Fei was overjoyed. Wang Gui actually came. He kept saying, "Let the person coming here."

Soon after, a soldier was brought over, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "See Commander Yue."

"No need to be polite, please get up and talk."

The soldier stood up and handed a letter to Yue Fei, "This is a letter governed by my family."

Yue Fei took the letter and looked carefully, his eyes gradually lit up. He asked quickly: "I don't know where Wang Tongzhi is now?"

"He is currently in Linlu County, and I hope Commander Yue can go over and discuss major plans."

Yue Fei nodded and turned to Xu Qing and said, "Get together brothers, let's set off immediately!"

Linlu County is a unique and unique existence in Xiangzhou. Among the four counties in Xiangzhou, it lags far behind the other four counties, whether it is population, commerce, grain output, or county town. It is like the poorest branch of a big family, which has always been looked down upon and has no status in Xiangzhou.

But during the war, he became a lucky person favored by God. So far, he is the only county town among the dozens of counties around that has not been looted by the Jin soldiers. It is also because it is located in the mountainous area, with inconvenient transportation and lacks any oil and water, so it escapes by chance.

Wang Gui once served as a delegation training officer in Xiangzhou and was very familiar with Xiangzhou. He led his army to walk into Linlu County on a small road.

Xiangzhou was Wang Gui's first target. Wang Gui has been considering strategies against the enemy these two days. The current situation was a bit beyond his expectations. He was willing to think that there were only a few hundred Jin soldiers in Xiangzhou and could be wiped out in one battle, but he did not expect that there were more than 2,000 Song troops who surrendered to the Jin Kingdom. In this way, the Jin soldiers were enough to defend Anyang County, and he did not bring siege weapons.

This battle is really hard to fight...

Linlu County and Dashishan Town where Yue Fei is stationed are not far away, about two hundred miles apart, but if you walk on the official road, you will go around a big circle and at least five hundred miles. Yue Fei led his men to walk on the small road and arrived in Linlu County about a day and one night.

A soldier had already rushed to report, and Wang Gui and Niu Gao came out in person. The three of them met again after a long separation and hugged each other with excitement.

"Agui, you have actually been promoted to the command, congratulations!"

Wang Gui waved his hand with a smile, "It's just a dispatcher, and his official rank is still the sixth rank. When the war is over, I will return to my original form!"

"After the war is over, you should be promoted!"

"Fifth Brother, how are you?"

"It's hard to say in one word, let's go in and talk slowly!"

The three of them walked as they spoke and soon entered the county town. Wang Gui pointed at the county town with a horse whip and asked again: "I asked the magistrate, and he said that we were stationed in Linlu County, and the Jin soldiers of Anyang County could not know, is that true?"

Yue Fei smiled and said, "It depends on how you came to Linlu County. If you were walking on the official road, you would definitely pass through Anyang County. If you were walking on the small road, they might not know."

"Will you be so negligent?"

“Not negligence.”

Yue Fei said lightly: "It's a contempt. The Jin soldiers didn't take us seriously at all, so it doesn't matter to send patrols. They don't need to care about our existence. In their opinion, we are just ants under their feet."

"So, we come here, the Jin soldiers won't know."

Yue Fei nodded, "It should be so unless someone betrays you."

"Fifth Brother, do you think Jiang Hua will betray us?"

"Jiang Hua!"

Yue Fei was stunned and stopped the war horse, "Have you gone to Tangyin County?"

"It's the only way there, and he told us your whereabouts. I think since he hasn't betrayed you, he shouldn't betray us."

Yue Fei pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say, betray me, there's no big benefit, but you're different. But since you're safe in Linlu County, I guess he didn't betray you, but it's better to send someone to monitor Anyang County."

Wang Gui quickly sent several escorts to Anyang County to monitor the every move of the Jin soldiers.

Yue Fei was invited to the Chenghuang Temple, which was the temporary garrison of the army. A large area of ​​open space in front of the Chenghuang Temple could be used to station the army. The Chenghuang Temple itself became a military yamen.

"Sit as you like!"

Wang Gui smiled and asked Yue Fei to sit down, "Anyway, we can't stay here for a long time, so we're too lazy to clean up."

Yue Fei sat down and asked directly: "Do you want to attack Anyang County?"

Wang Gui shook his head, "We have no interest in the city, we just want to annihilate the Jin soldiers in Anyang County."

Yue Fei smiled slightly, "Sure enough, what I thought was right. If this is the case, I would have a wonderful plan."
Chapter completed!
