The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 491 Great Victory at Feihu Valley

Until now, Zhao Yougong knew what Zhao Gou was thinking!
When he saw that Han Shizhong's military achievements were all divided up by his superiors, or they were concealed and not reported, so that his reputation was not loud enough.However, Han Shizhong won the trust of the soldiers by virtue of his extraordinary military talent, and finally it appeared that everyone obeyed Han Shizhong's orders more than the general.

As for Liu Guangshi, who came from a family of generals, his father ruled Liu Yanqing in the Xuanfu capital, so it can be said that he was brave and resourceful on the battlefield.It would not be an exaggeration to be a general of an army in terms of merit.However, his temperament was not steady enough, and he argued with his superiors many times, and finally his father had to transfer him away to avoid causing more trouble.

Yue Fei and Gao Chong knew about Zhao Yougong, and they were also Zhao Gou's disciples. They were all qualified to be generals in an army, especially Gao Chong's martial arts were outstanding.On the battlefield, it is rare to meet an opponent.Even if he wants to defeat him, he has some difficulties, which shows that Gao Chong is indeed a malleable talent.

Zhao Gou sent all four of them out without sending a single reinforcement or giving any orders. He obeyed their commands and let them display their abilities.

Zhao Gou had been at Feihukou Pass for several days, and the generals in Yingzhou and Yunzhou also started to march eastward, and came here to join the army.Zhao Gou led the rest of the generals to meet Lu Junyi, Song Jiang and others in person, but because of the great battle ahead, they couldn't get drunk.

Then, Song Jiang and Lu Junyi received Zhao Gou's order to come to the commander's tent.

"Big guy!"

"You two generals have worked hard!" Zhao Gou said in a warm voice, and said in a serious voice: "Although I know that everyone is a little tired from running around for days, but the situation forces us to be tense. Today I let the two The general came here to tell the two that the drill will still start tomorrow."

Song Jiang and Lu Junyi didn't ask any more questions, and agreed without hesitation; then, the two of them went down to have a rest, leaving military advisor Wu Yong alone.

Wu Yong said suspiciously: "Commander, the army marched day and night without a moment's rest. If we continue to drill tomorrow, I'm afraid the soldiers will be overwhelmed!"

Zhao Gou sighed: "I don't know! But, it's not time to rest now. In another month, it will be winter. I'm afraid we can spend this winter here. Right now, morale is high. If we don't take advantage of the victory and pursue After winter, it may take several months to usher in spring."

"The soldiers spent the winter here for the first time. I don't know if they can persist. At that time, if we are attacked by the enemy, we may be in danger!"

Wu Yong said in a deep voice: "The Great Song Dynasty formed an alliance with the Jurchens. It is expected that the Jurchens will not miss this opportunity and will attack the Khitan aggressively. If so, we don't have to worry about the Liao army attacking, I'm afraid they will be too busy to take care of themselves!"

Zhao Gou said: "What the military adviser said is not unreasonable. In fact, I am worried about it. If the Jurchens break through Khitan, it will be unfavorable for us. It is in our best interest to keep them at loggerheads. Fight for the fisherman to gain!"

"Although the Jurchens have formed an alliance with us, it does not mean that they have not encroached on the heart of the Song Dynasty. Now we have conquered four states, and there are still twelve states. If we follow this speed, I am afraid that it will not be completely recovered until next autumn. It is the fastest time, if it is slow, it will only take two or three years."

"Compared with the strength of the Liao and the Jurchens, I'm afraid they won't last long. If the Jurchens capture the imperial city, it may be difficult for us to regain the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. Therefore, we must speed up the process. There must be no delay."

"Let the military division come here today for this purpose!"

Wu Yong asked in surprise, "Why did the commander make such a statement?"

"Military division, I have several battle reports here, please have a look at them!" Zhao Gou took out the battle reports with a smile and asked Wu Yong to watch them carefully.

"Great victory!" Wu Yong looked at the news on the battle report, without exception, all of them were great victories, and there was not a single defeat.Moreover, this news came from Yue Fei and Liu Guangshi.As for Han Shizhong, he has just arrived in Guangling and has not officially started the war.

"If we break through Feihu County and Lingqiu County, Lingxian, the capital city of Weizhou, will not be far away!" Zhao Gou smiled happily, "To have the military division come here today is to ask you to do one thing, as long as this The two counties have been captured. At that time, I will definitely lead the army to capture Weizhou as soon as possible. What the military division has to do is to stay in Feihukou and connect Yingzhou, Yunzhou and this place. The responsibility is heavy! "

Wu Yong, the military advisor, agreed categorically. After he walked out of the tent, he woke up like a dream, and muttered to himself, "I am obviously a military advisor, and I am making suggestions. Why do I act like a guard? How did Shuai think that he actually asked me to serve as the city defender, and I agreed, what the hell!"

"Ninth Brother, the military advisor is here to make suggestions, how can he be allowed to defend the city? This is not an overkill!" After Wu Yong left, Zhao Yougong asked quickly.

Zhao Gou smiled calmly, and said firmly: "Although Wu Yong is a military adviser, he has experienced battles and battles and can make decisions in the first time. If we all go to Weizhou, then this place is useless It’s just guarding, and the rear is very important, if it’s not someone you trust, I’m afraid it will be difficult to do it, and no one wants to entrust their life in the hands of someone they don’t know.”

Zhao Yougong wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by a voice: "Report!"

"Report to Commander, Feihu County has been breached by our army! Our army has won a great victory!"

After Zhao Gou was overjoyed, he quickly picked up the battle report and looked at it carefully, as if he was there at that time, his excitement was beyond words.

The reason why "Feihukou" uses this name is because there is an animal here.The shape of this animal is very similar to that of a squirrel, with a short and round head, large eyes with red chestnut rims, and particularly large pupils.The fur on the back of the body is red, and the face and belly are white, like a fox.

The local people don't know what it is, and they eat chestnuts and other fruits.It happens that there are pine cones on the mountains, and they come out to look for food during the day and shuttle through the trees as if they are flying, so they are called 'flying foxes'.Moreover, the terrain here is very strange, walking forward, the width is getting wider and wider.

The narrowest one is only two or three meters, the widest one is about 100 meters, and the highest point here is Xiaoling Saddle, which is 500 meters long.Moreover, Feihukou has a total of 72 bends, and each bend has a different view. The further you go forward, the thicker the fog, like a fairyland.

When Liu Guangshi arrived here, he did not immediately call for battle. Instead, he sent spies to find out the terrain, which places could hide people, which places could be defended, and which places could be attacked.After finding out the terrain, Liu Guangshi felt that this place was not suitable for a large army to move forward, and it was extremely easy to be ambushed.

Therefore, Liu Guangshi sent a message to Yue Fei, asking him to send people to harass the bordering land, and let them send troops to support.Then, he himself led a group of light cavalry to detour through the narrow bend, and ordered the army not to follow at a distance of about ten miles, just in case.

Liu Guangshi groped forward and finally saw the Liao army's barracks.It happened to be at the widest part of Feihu Valley. After observation, it was found that there were not many troops, and he looked around to see if there was an ambush. After confirming, he sent an order to let the army advance at full speed.He himself and a team of hundreds of people directly killed them and fought against the Liao army.

Due to the scattered forces of the Liao army, they could not compete with Liu Guangshi's army at all, and all of them were beheaded.Then, Liu Guangshi continued to lead the army to attack Huanglong, and finally won the control of Feihu County in one fell swoop.In addition, the letter mentioned that Liu Guangshi did not come back, but went to help Yue Fei and gave him a helping hand.

Zhao Gou saw the concise and concise content above, and expected that this battle must be thrilling.After all, Feihu Valley is a battleground for military strategists and a well-known ancient battlefield in history. This pass has been regarded as a military "forbidden throat" since ancient times.

No matter which dynasty or generation, they attach great importance to this pass.In addition, the generals of the Yang family and Yelu Xiezhen, a soldier of the Liao Dynasty, fought bloody battles here many times.Now Liu Guangshi has not only successfully completed his mission, but also captured Feihu County in just three days. It can be seen that his ability must be good, and Zhao Gou is very happy.
