13.11 The Yue Family Army Withdrew and the Wei Family Army Established

On the morning of July 1140, 21 AD, the [-]th year of Shaoxing, Zhuxian Town, the open space in front of the large tent of the Chinese Army where the Yue Family Army was stationed.

On this day, even if you look at the entire history of China, it can be called a shameful day, because His Majesty the "own" emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty ordered his own army to retreat by imperial decree, and he was not allowed to go north to complete the reunification.

"Marshal Yue, our family is only passing on the decree. Now that the order has been fulfilled, it is natural to go back and hand it over. Generals, please go ahead." Under the gazes of dozens of generals and thousands of soldiers watching the dead, the eunuch who passed the decree had a look on his face. Pale and sweaty farewell.

"Yun'er, send the angel!" Yue Fei was still kneeling on the ground, his voice was emotionless, because at this moment all his energy was put on the incense table to welcome the imperial decree, where the gold medal for withdrawing troops was placed, and it was a full twelve road!

"Marshal, how can we withdraw our troops? Now that we have fought here, we are only one step away from the old capital. If we withdraw at this time, all the blood we shed before will be in vain!" Niu Gao didn't even wait for the angel to leave. He stood up and roared angrily.

"Marshal, as long as we take a step forward, we will be able to." Zhang Xian, who has always been calm, has no respect for the so-called "imperial decree" at this time.

"The emperor's order is hard to break!" Yue Fei interrupted him with a hoarse voice, almost struggling to stand up, and finally finished with Yue Yun's support, and he foolishly stroked the so-called "gold medals" one by one , finally knelt down on the ground again, raised his head to the sky and screamed with all his strength, "Ten years of work will be wasted once!"

"Marshal!" At the same time as he screamed, Wei Xu's face changed drastically, he rushed over to support his already hunched figure, and watched Yue Fei spurt out a mouthful of blood!

Because in Wei Xu's spiritual perception, what he saw was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface. He could clearly feel that at the moment Yue Fei gave up, his whole body seemed to lose all energy and energy. The cultivation base at the peak also disappeared in an instant!

"I'm fine!" Yue Fei gently pushed Wei Xu away and waved his hands, then turned his head and said to the generals under his command, "All ministries are starting to tidy up, preparing for the squadron to return to the court, and there are other things."

"Marshal, the order in the edict is the official army you lead, right?" Wei Xu interrupted him, but the eyes of the surrounding generals lit up, "I just spontaneously organized a rebel army to resist the gold, and His Majesty the Emperor is not interested in letting him go." Let's go back."

"That's right!" Yue Fei looked at Wei Xu with a complex expression before saying, "This commander should be the commander of the squad, and all the generals under his command will also go south. This is His Majesty's imperial decree and must not be violated."

In a broad sense, the number of "Yue Family Army" is huge. Today, there are more than 20 troops led by Yue Fei following the Northern Expedition. They are all called "Yue Family Army" by the people, but this is not the case in reality. Most of them are not under Yue Fei's command in name.

Even in this huge Northern Expeditionary Army, Yue Fei's official position was not the highest, just because every family respected his ability and character and were willing to listen to his orders, but this did not mean that he belonged to him.

These people may be the official cooperating troops, but there are not many in number, or the rebels from all over the country, or even the former puppet Qi army such as the Niugao Department that was defeated by Yue Fei and incorporated after the Yang Yao uprising army was wiped out, etc. It doesn't necessarily count as the Southern Song Dynasty.

According to the official definition, there are actually only twelve troops under Yue Fei's command with the title of "army", such as the prestigious Beiwei Army, which is the most famous and powerful one among them.

That is to say, the official "organization" given to Yue Fei by the Southern Song Dynasty was divided according to the levels of Xiang, Army, Battalion, and Capital. There were only twelve "armies", that is, about [-] people were "legal". It's all overkill.

By the way, when Qin Hui framed Yue Fei and killed him in the name of "unnecessary", there was quite a lot of content in the part of "conspiring to rebel" that talked about the issue of "overstaffing and over-allocation" military expansion.

"Thank you, Marshal!" Wei Xu bowed respectfully, but did not kneel down, because even Zhao Gou couldn't bear his kneeling salute with his current status as the Golden Immortal, "The final general will clean up the army, wait The marshal is back, you still owe the banquet in Huanglong Mansion!"

"Huanglongfu, hahaha, Huanglongfu!" Yue Fei turned back to the big tent with tears in his eyes.

That night, at Wei Xu's garrison, nearly 20 people were densely "piled up" in a small military tent. In a broad sense, more than half of the generals of the "Yue Family Army" were here.

"Brother Wei, we, as the generals of the Marshal, must return at this time, and the soldiers under the jurisdiction of the imperial court must also return to Ezhou." It was Niu Gao, who has always been rough and bold, who spoke, "It's just that there are still many rebels like you. The imperial court will not keep it, it can only stay."

"In terms of supplies, all the food and salaries allocated by the imperial court are registered and recorded, so naturally we can't support Brother Wei." As Yue Fei's former military commander, Zhang Xian is not stupid, "Many of them were donated by people from all over the country. thing.

These are what they worked so hard to save for us to fight the golden dog. Since the class teacher has decided to return to the court today, it is naturally not convenient to take it back with such a journey, so we can only trouble Brother Wei to return it. "

"There are still many rebels who have joined you. Now that the army has returned south, it is naturally impossible for them all to follow. As for how many we can accept, it is not up to us. It depends on your ability." Niu Gao said carelessly. . "Where is General Wang Gui?" After joking for a while, Wei Xu glanced around and asked.

In the official "organization" of the Yue Family Army, both Wang Gui and Zhang Xian were Yue Fei's deputy, and both made great contributions in the Northern Expedition, but Wang Gui chose to betray when Qin Hui framed Yue Fei.

"General Wang is coordinating and sorting out at the camp, so he couldn't come today." Zhang Xian didn't think much about it. The general who was murdered together with Yue Fei treated the soldiers who fought together as his own brothers all his life, but it's a pity that people's hearts are unpredictable.

"That's all!" Wei Xu knew that this couldn't be changed, and he didn't think about changing it, because their choice today is also doomed to their future fate, "Although the little brother's place is simple, there are still a few tables of banquets. Brothers, today If you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

A banquet lasted until midnight, and it was not until everyone was sent away that Wei Xu looked at Zhang Xian's "handover" list at the beginning.

"It seems that the loyal and brave men in this world still account for the majority." Dongfang Baifan looked at the thick stack of lists, and said with a complicated expression, "Basically, about one-third of every army has been 'disbanded'." .

In other words, nearly 4 elite soldiers of the Yue family army were handed over to us, and Zhang Xian had already arranged in advance. Most of these people have seen you and the little white snake charge with their own eyes, and are willing to obey our orders. "

"There is still this batch of supplies." Xue Baochai, the chief logistics manager, was also surprised, "Not to mention gold and silver, the food and supplies are enough to guarantee the needs of the 6 to [-] people for half a year, the weapons and equipment are sufficient, and the armor rate is nearly half.

Among them is a battalion of [-]-back Wei army iron cavalry, and more than [-] war horses. It can be regarded as keeping all the spare horses. Coupled with the original force, it is enough for us to integrate more than [-] elite cavalry within a month.

It will take about a month to fully form combat effectiveness. Although they are elite soldiers, they lack of training. If they are used before the integration is completed, they may suffer some damage. "

"It's too late, within ten days at the most, Jin Wushu will definitely come over." Wei Xu shook his head helplessly, "In other words, as long as the Yue family's army is formally in charge, the Jin army will come back to retaliate, and it will be extremely cruel."

"Brother Xu, we can't just watch people being harmed by golden soldiers." Bai Suzhen, who had been flipping through the list, raised her head, "I didn't understand why we had to fight back and forth, but after seeing how many people were killed Slaughtered villages and even small towns, I get it."

"Then it's up to us to go up." Dongfang Bai said without hesitation, "Zhuxian Town is less than fifty miles away from Kaifeng City, we must fight it down as quickly as possible, or in other words, there is not much left to completely wipe out the Golden Wushu. spirit.

Only by winning such a big victory can we buy time for our repairs. Although there are many troops at the moment, their sense of belonging is very poor. "

"With us here, if we can still win the battle, then we should find a tree with a crooked neck. Living is too wasteful." Wei Xu said coldly.

"Brother Xu, when shall we do it?" Xue Baochai asked softly.

"As soon as possible, the next day after the Yue family's army withdraws, we will attack directly." Wei Xu's tone was cold, "At this time, Jin Wushu's energy is focused on Yue's family's army, and it happened to catch him by surprise.

Moreover, what we are talking about now sounds good, but in fact we don’t even have a foothold at all. If we don’t take down Kaifeng City, and then drink horses and the Yellow River to control the Central Plains, we can’t even raise an army. "

"Break the city directly?" Dongfang Bai asked while playing with the short sword in his hand.

"No, breaking the city will definitely kill a large number of Jinbing's defenders. I am going to blast open the city gate, and then five of us will go up to the top of the city and wipe out the group of Les. The rest of the people just need to follow." Wei Wei Xu is very confident about this.

"It just happens to be a show of force, to completely regain the morale of the army, and to shut up the fools around." Dongfang Bai nodded, "Yes, if there are no accidents, it will be suitable in three days."

"Tomorrow we will go to the army together, and we must first collect the morale of the army, at least to have a shelf." Wei Xu finally concluded.
