Chapter 689 Reinforcements



Originally, Li Yan planned to send reinforcements to Yue Fei when Wang Yan or Hua Rong arrived.

But according to Yue Fei's letter, he could not wait for Wang Yan or Hua Rong to arrive with Hebei fighter jets, which might be fleeting.

Li Yan thought about it for a while and called Wu Ge, Wang De and Li Yanxian.

Li Yan asked Xu Guanzhong to pass on the good news and letters of help from Yue Fei to Wu Ge, Wang De, and Li Yanxian one by one, and said, "I wanted to give you more time to familiarize yourself with your troops and then go to the battlefield. But our general Wang Yan, may have to three or four days to reach Tokyo, and the speed of other reinforcements will be even slower. Hebei is related to whether our Dazhong can recover Hebei, regain Yan land, recover Pingzhou, and then drive the Hu people out of the pass. Therefore, there is no mistake in the battle of Hebei, so I am going to send you three troops to reinforce Hebei first. When Wang Yan and other troops arrive, I will provide a second reinforcement to Hebei. What do you think?"

Li Yan is indeed trying to make things difficult for Wu Ge, Wang De and Li Yanxian.

Among the three troops, Li Yanxian's troops were first established, but that was only 20 days ago.

Not long ago, under Sun Jing's lobbying, Yun Tianbiao brought nearly 10,000 people under his command to join Li Yan.

Li Yan sent Zhang Xian to take over Yun Tianbiao's troops.

Zhang Xian, who understood Li Yan's meaning, used both soft and hard work, and reorganized Yun Tianbiao's troops.

First of all, Zhang Xian eliminated the young and old people in Yun Tianbiao's army and those who looked pretty and smart, who didn't care about the people in the government and demobilized them. These people were slick people who had been in the city for a long time. They were unreliable at critical moments and would run away and would also pull others to run away. If they were caught by their superiors, they would have enough eloquence to blame others. The so-called rat shit would ruin a pot of soup. Such people not only could not fight in the army, but would instead play a role in dismantling the morale of the army.

The Central Army's demobilization policy is very generous. Most of the young and young soldiers in Yun Tianbiao's army happily went to the demobilization department of the Ministry of War to demobilize. Those who did not intend to demobilize were transferred by Zhang Xian to the engineering army.

Afterwards, Zhang Xian pulled out the officers from Yun Tianbiao's team and sent them to the Seoul Recruitment Department and the Political Department for further studies. After they graduate, they will be assigned uniformly.

Afterwards, Zhang Xian handed over the good soldiers in Yun Tianbiao's team into three parts to Yun Tianbiao, part to the general Guo Jin under Zhang Xian, and part to Li Yanxian sent by Li Yan.

Later, all three troops were expanded into an army of 10,000 people.

The two troops of Yun Tianbiao and Guo Jin were following Zhang Xian's actions, while Li Yanxian's troops were left by Li Yan and handed over to Yang Yizhong for command.

With all the plans, Li Yanxian's troops have been established less than a month.

Wu Ge and Wang De's troops were established three days ago, and Li Yan asked them to organize an army. Now, the subordinates of the generals have not been completely distinguished.

In theory, under this circumstance, Li Yan should not let these three troops go to war.

But after Li Yan considered it, he decided to let these three troops reinforce Yue Fei.

There are three reasons for this:

First, Li Yan is afraid of missing the fighter plane, well... to be more precise, Li Yan is afraid that he will not be able to recover the three prefectures of Yanyun and Pingluanying.

Yanyun and the three prefectures of Luanying were crucial to the Han people. Only by regaining all the places, can the Han people not be afraid of the invasion of the Hu people and live and work in peace. In addition, only by regaining all the places, can Li Yan let go of his hands and feet to annex the vast territory left by the Northern Song Dynasty and then establish a huge empire.

In short, now, Li Yan can defeat any battle, but Li Yan cannot afford to defeat this battle.

Therefore, Li Yan would rather ruin Wu Ge, Wang De and Li Yanxian, and he would never miss any fighter opportunity.

Second, Li Yan has confidence in Wu Ge, Wang De, and Li Yanxian.

I won’t talk about Wu Ge’s record, and there is no record that is too obvious.

But looking at Wu Ge's resume, it is not difficult to see that he also grew up in the Western Army, and the most elite Jingyuan Army, the Jingyuan Army. He participated in dozens of battles of all sizes and made many military achievements. He was promoted from a small soldier to Bingyi Lang's business in charge of the business of the strategic company before returning to Beijing.

Moreover, when resisting the Jin people's attack on Bianliang City, Wu Ge proposed many good strategies, but unfortunately none of them were adopted in the end.

Later, when summarizing the battle to defend the city in Bianliang, many people felt sorry for Wu Ge, thinking that he was born at the wrong time. If he was given a chance, he should be able to become a famous general.

Whether Wu Ge can become a famous general is still a matter of two things.

But Wang De and Li Yanxian are definitely famous generals who have been proven by history.

former.

He fought countless victories in his life, defeated Qi and defeated Jin, making Liu Guangshi one of the four generals of Zhongxing and even defeated Jin Wushu head-on.

the latter.

His life was heroic and as bright as a meteor. He joined the army for the second time. The Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed and Guandong fell. Because he fought desperately to fight the enemy, only Shanzhou survived for two years, which prevented the Jin soldiers from moving in. This led the Southern Song Dynasty to have more than 200 battles. During this period, he led the military and civilians in Shanzhou City to fight more than 200 times, annihilated countless enemies, and finally lost their losses due to the exhaustion of food and assistance.

Finally, he was cut off one arm by the enemy during the street fighting and escaped under the escort of his subordinates. When he heard that the Jin soldiers massacred the city, he couldn't help but feel very sad and said, "The reason why the Jin people massacred the city was because I had been persisting for a long time and refused to surrender. Why did I turn my back on the elders of Shanzhou and live a life of silence?" He then jumped into the river and died at the age of 36.

His whole family was also slaughtered by Jin soldiers, and only one brother and one son survived.

With famous generals like Wang De and Li Yanxian, what is Li Yan afraid to give it a try?

Third, this time, the general commander is Yue Fei, who Li Yan trusts the most.

Looking at the history of the late Northern Song Dynasty and the early Southern Song Dynasty, in terms of ability to attack, the strongest general was Yue Fei and Yue Pengju. Whether it was Liu Qi, Han Shizhong, or Wu Jie, they were all ranked behind.

Yue Fei can defeat the Jin army with a group of militia and rebels. Li Yan this time gave Yue Fei the foundation of the elite soldiers. In this way, if Yue Fei cannot help him recover Yan land, then Yue Fei would be too sorry for his huge reputation.

Wu Ge, Wang De, and Li Yanxian are not ordinary people.

Therefore, although they understood the difficulties of their trip, Wu Ge, Wang De and Li Yanxian took on this arduous task without hesitation.

Li Yan ordered Wang De to be the deputy commander and Li Yanxian to take the 30,000 troops to Hebei and hand them over to Yue Fei.

As for how to fight this battle, it is entirely up to Yue Fei to say.

In addition to sending troops to reinforce the Right Route Army, Li Yan also asked Zhao Ding to cooperate with Zhu Wu to organize another 500,000 civilians to transport food, grass, supplies, weapons and materials to Hebei to ensure the supply of the Right Route Army.
