Yue Yunyuan was also extremely tired. At this time, he knew that Yue Fei was going to see Gao Chong and others, which was related to the next step in the battle department. Therefore, he forced himself to support his spirits and smiled at Yue Fei, "I am not tired, but I can still hold on." Fei looked at him, and without saying much, he entered the account first and sat down.

Gao Chong and Xu Qing had been waiting in the tent. The two led the cavalry to chase for dozens of miles. The battlefield was in Changshui County north of Luoyang. The two led the cavalry to chase after him and actually reached the city of Luoyang more than a hundred miles away. Because Li Cheng had a few troops in the city, they closed the four gates and were careful to be on guard. Gao Chong and others chased the city. Knowing that there was no chance to break the city for a while, they had to go back to eliminate the enemy soldiers who had fled all the way, drive away the prisoners, and work hard all the way. When they came to Yue Fei to report their lives, they still sweated from their foreheads and smelled of sweat.

Their results were added to the statistics of the troops in the evening, and the entire war was found. The Song army gathered more than 60,000 troops from six armies to fight against more than 200,000 enemies. The war started with Gao Chong's early harassment, and then the two armies fought. The Song army prepared for a long time in the early stage, and only entered the enemy's territory for more than ten days. In fact, it was practiced in advance countless times. Therefore, although it advanced rapidly and advanced rapidly after entering the enemy's territory, it was actually busy and smooth, and everything was smooth.

On the other hand, Li Cheng had less than half a month to prepare for the preparations from assembling the army to fighting the Song army, and it was extremely hasty. In order to resolve the danger of the Song army as soon as possible, the puppet Qi decided to fight with the main force of the Song army only because of the advantage of the number of people. This battle can be said to be a victory or defeat in the expected war. Before the war had begun, Li Cheng had already decided to defeat.

However, the outcome was decided so early that there was no need for a large-scale pursuit. The two main forces of the cavalry attacked. From the evening to the first half of the night, the main forces of the enemy had no idea of ​​the direction and had no resistance at all. Seeing the Song cavalry appearing under the moonlit night, soldiers from army groups raised their hands to surrender, waiting to be placed and sent down, and even lost interest in fleeing in panic.

After Gao Chong and others slowly gathered their troops and returned slowly, the prisoners following behind them could not see at all, and they were not bound, and few were in custody. These people were actually followed behind honestly. No one tried to find a way to escape.

This battle completely defeated the morale of the enemy. It was roughly estimated that there were more than 100,000 soldiers in the captured areas, and there were thousands of officers above the deputy general, countless weapons and armor, more than 5,000 war horses, plus food, clothing, medicine and other items. After this battle, it was equivalent to chasing the pseudo-Qi family's assets. In addition to some garrison troops near Shandong and Yiguan, as well as some defenses in Kaifeng, there was no military force in the entire Central Plains.

Corresponding to such a great victory was the insignificant losses of the Song army. Only more than a thousand people died in battle, plus three or four thousand injured, lost insignificant weapons, bows and arrows, and a small number of war horses. The harvest was enough to make up for these losses.

Everyone surrounded Yue Fei's tent and talked a lot, and they were all over the place. In this great victory, the commander was the first to be a good one. And the whole army used their lives to reward them, and the rewards would definitely not be bad. Although the army has always regarded expelling barbarians and restoring the mountains and rivers as their responsibility, no one was just looking for rewards like Fu Xuan, but it was inevitable that they would be happy when they thought about it.

Yue Feiyuan was also happy. Seeing that everyone was full of excitement, it seemed that the world's major events had been decided. He couldn't help but remind him: "What's the ability to beat Li Cheng? He can't take care of him with 200,000 people.

Before this battle, I had received a notice from the pedestrian department that the Jin soldiers had already assembled. While paying attention to the movements of the Huangguan Imperial Army, they began to drive towards the bank of the Yellow River. The current problem is that Huangguan is the main force of the Western Army, but the enemy also knew that the Huangguan garrison was all infantry and was slow to attack various parts of Huazhou. If the Jin soldiers wanted to protect Kaifeng, they would definitely cross the river directly from the ferry and go directly to the vicinity of Kaifeng to fight our army. Therefore, after this battle, it may be three or five days later, they would have to

Preparing to fight a decisive battle with the Jin soldiers, this battle is the most critical and most important. If you win, the overall situation in the world has been decided. Just hitting Huanglong is just around the corner. If you lose, the effort of these years is in vain. We have to return to Jiangnan and wait for the opportunity. If you are concerned about the overall situation in the world, the emperor has high hopes for our army. How can we be so proud of the small surname?" When he first said that, his face was still calm. When he said this, he was already serious, even with a sense of slander and scolding.

Everyone was awakened by him. They knew that what Yue Fei said was true. They thought of fighting a decisive battle with the Jin soldiers in the heart of the Central Plains. They couldn't help but be excited. They immediately replied with sternness: "The last general knows what he has done, and everything will be followed by the command of the general." "Okay, today's battle results, I have ordered Li to report to Your Majesty. Before I ordered the two army to quickly conquer Luoyang, and then ordered Wang Gui and his troops to move their troops to Guide, seize Guide's Mansion, and then to Kaifeng. The other troops will rest here and attack Zhengzhou and Zhongmu at any time. After obtaining these places, the troops can meet and work together to seize Kaifeng. A real man will make a contribution. At this time, the generals will do it happily to leave their names in history and make figures. "

After the war, Yue Fei was still solemnly motivated and his expression was not relaxed at all. As the commander, he knew the utmost importance of the war. At this point, everyone knew that he was happy too early. He immediately claimed that he would return to the camp to inspect the soldiers and preached the decisive battle with the Jin soldiers. He used the many atrocities of the Jin soldiers and the humiliation of the country to inspire morale. At the same time, he also talked about the elite Jin soldiers' ability to fight, and was purely iron-armored cavalry. Whether it was mobility, the individual force of the warriors, the talent of the commander, and the mental outlook of the entire army, they were incomparable to Li Cheng's troops, in order to prevent the morale of the army from becoming arrogant after the victory.

Three cavalry and two infantry troops were resting. The front and central troops set off one after another, and rushed from Changshui to Luoyang. In the morning, news came from the evening that Li Cheng saw that the morale of the army was out of control and Luoyang must not be defended. After Gao Chong and others retreated, Li Cheng ordered Zhao Yong to take tens of thousands of soldiers to defend the city. He led more than a thousand cavalry to Kaifeng to report his life. He was defeated this time and did not expect to come out to lead the troops in a short time. He fled back to Kaifeng to avoid disaster. There were many relatives, friends and old friends in the army. Liu Yu did not dare to kill him. He hid in the city honestly, waiting for the Jin soldiers to come and talk about anything else.

The commander escaped, and the remaining troops were originally frightened birds. There was no need for the Song army to do more movements. Just now, a few drums sounded, and more than 20,000 Song army shouted, and the white flag had been raised in the city. Zhao Yongxue his boss secretly opened the city gate and fled, leaving more than 30,000 remaining soldiers without a single arrow, and opened the city to surrender.

Zhao Bingyuan and others knew that the other army had no intention of fighting, so they did not wait for Yue Fei's instructions to send people to report, while accepting Luoyang, and moving towards Mengzhou, Dengfeng and other places, not far from Kaifeng.

At the same time, the Song army of Huangguan also attacked Shangzhou, Lu family and other places, and the troops were about to join Yue Fei's troops. In order to confuse the Jin soldiers and make Zongbi dare to enter the Central Plains with confidence, the Huangguan garrison did not dispatch many troops. However, the Liu brothers and Guan Shigu and others led nearly 60,000 troops from five armies. There were not many troops garrisons opposite Huangguan in the puppet Qi. There were more than 10,000 Jin soldiers and Khitan soldiers in Shangzhou. The Western Army did not attack the city effectively and could not meet with Yue Fei for a while. Such a progress was already extremely fast.

Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Yao Duan, Zhang Xian, Guo Hao, Yao Pingzhong and other famous Western Army generals, led nearly 20 armies with more than 200,000 troops under the personal leadership of Yu Yunwen, the commander of the Privy Council, to reach the vicinity of Taiyuan quietly. They just waited for the main force of the Jin army to go south and then they could go straight from Taihang to Hebei and cut off the enemy's retreat.

It can be said that the eyes of all parties are eagerly waiting for news from the Jin soldiers and observing the movements of the Jin soldiers. Zong Bi's unmoving or his movements will deeply affect the entire battle situation.

By late April, the Yue family army had already captured Henan Prefecture and Yingchang, Guide Prefecture, and dozens of prefectures and counties returned to the Song Dynasty. The supply pressure of the war gradually decreased. At the same time, the entire defense line was rapidly expanded. The Yue family army, which had more than 100,000 people, was completely governed on the front line of more than a thousand miles. There was no real heavy army group. At this time, the movements of the Jin soldiers were unknown, which made Yue Fei extremely embarrassed.

At this time, the attack was opened and the time was not yet reached. Han Shizhong and others did not dare to chase and attack relentlessly when there was no news of the Jin soldiers. They had not yet cleared Shandong and could not go to the Central Plains to support them. There was only Yue Fei, an army in the entire heartland of the Central Plains. Compared with the entire front, the troops were obviously insufficient.

Yue Fei was worried that his troops were weak and could easily be defeated by the Jin soldiers, so he had to temporarily close the defense line and lead Shengjie, Doufeng, Tabai, Youyi, and back to Yingchang. He ordered Wang Gui and others to pay attention to getting closer to him at any time. Meng Shengjie and Zhao Bingyuan were stationed in Luoyang, Xijing, ready to support the imperial guards in the direction of Zhaguan at any time or meet with him.

As a result, the entire state changed. Although the Song army could not further expand the results of the war, the main force of the corps had turned directly to Kaifeng City. In Kaifeng City, except for a small number of Jin and Khitan soldiers, the remaining tens of thousands of people were temporarily recruited militias, and only a small number of local troops had pitiful combat power. It can be said that as long as Yue Fei was willing, he could take down this seemingly strong and tall city within one day.

However, the Jin soldiers did not arrive, and even lost news in the past few days. The Jin soldiers who had already suppressed Gongcheng, Xiangzhou and Huazhou suddenly stopped moving and even strictly investigated pedestrians, which greatly hindered the detailed information of the pedestrian department and could only be transmitted once every few days. The grasp of the main trends of the Jin soldiers should not be as accurate as when the war began.
