Kong Yanzhou was originally under the jurisdiction of Ma Qian, a soldier on the East and West Roads of Beijing. When Li Gang took office, he mobilized most of the forbidden troops on the East and West Roads and East Jingdong Road, and arrived at the eastern front of Hebei East Road.
The scale of the regular army it mobilized was as high as [-], and it was successively deployed in Enzhou, Yongjing Army, and Cangzhou.
Kong Yanzhou was one of them who was mobilized. His current position is the commander of the Fucheng Army, and he is in charge of an army with a strength of about 2500 to 3000.
This is the regular army, that is, the number of the forbidden army, not counting the local Xiang army.
The Xiang Army is the local regular army of the Song Dynasty, and it is headquartered under the Guards Horse Army Division and the Guards Infantry Division.
The main tasks are building cities, making weapons, building roads and bridges, transporting grain and reclaiming wasteland, as well as guarding and escorting officials, etc. Generally, there are no training and combat tasks.
But at a very good time, soldiers are being recruited from all over the country, and the local Xiang army has also been recruited into the regular army.
Although Kong Yanzhou's regular army has only 3000 people, there are actually 2 Xiang troops in Fucheng County.
"Report! Commander-in-Chief, someone is asking to see you outside!"
"No!" Kong Yanzhou simply refused while working.
Chapter 116
After half an hour, Kong Yanzhou came out of the room.
After he put on his clothes, Cao Yun, the military commander outside, hurriedly said: "Commander, there is something important."
"What's the panic?"
Kong Yanzhou was a little impatient, obviously annoyed that Cao Yun interrupted his good time.
Kong Yanzhou was a notorious person in history, how lustful is this guy?
He had a concubine and gave birth to a daughter who grew up to be very beautiful.
He forced the concubine to say that this was not his own daughter, and then took his own daughter as a concubine.
It's just such a guy who got mixed up in the position under the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses of the East and West Roads in Beijing, domineering.
This also shows that the imperial army in the late Northern Song Dynasty was a mixed bag.
"Outside the city there is a person who claims to be sent by Yue Fei, the governor of Hebei Daming Mansion, and says he has something important to see you."
"Yue Fei?" Kong Yanzhou frowned, "I've never heard of it, is there such a person in Daming Mansion!"
"This... the Daming Mansion is now under the control of the Zongxianggong, and the lower officials are not very clear about it, but it's best to see it."
"No! This is obviously a spy sent by the Jin Army!"
"But in case..."
"There is no chance. Daming Mansion belongs to Zongze's defense range. This is Fucheng, which belongs to the defense range of the Eastern Front. They will be so kind to send us important information?"
After finishing speaking, Kong Yanzhou went in and continued to have fun.
At noon, Cao Yun came again.
"Marshal, Marshal!"
"What's the matter?"
"There is a person outside who claims to be a person sent by Yang Jin, the Jizhou thief, saying that Yang Jin wants to lead his troops to surrender to the court."
"This is a good thing, how many people?"
"The other party said there were 3 people."
"3 people?" Kong Yanzhou was a little surprised, "Where is this Yang Jin coming from? How come there are so many people?"
"I've inquired about it, and it's said that it's a reckless person in Yizhou. It has grown up in the past few months, and it has been echoed in Jizhou."
"You can arrange it. It is a good thing that someone is willing to surrender."
Cao Yun quickly said: "Commander, 3 people have come here. We don't have that much military food. There are still [-] troops in the city. Now there is a shortage of food in Hebei, and there is no food to collect in the local area. They all come from the rear. .”
"Why are you so stupid!" Kong Yanzhou said impatiently, "Only by taking them in can we report more food to the government, and the transshipment office will give us more food!"
"But……"
"Don't talk about it, you go and make arrangements to call all the 3 people in, this is an order!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Xian who was outside the city was so angry that he scolded his mother, he watched Yang Jin's army enter the city.
After Yang Jin entered the city, he took control of Fucheng in less than half a day.
Kong Yanzhou fled in disorder, and the defense line of Fucheng collapsed.
The news did not spread to the Zhifu in Cangzhou at the first time, but spread to Hejian Mansion quickly.
Zhang Xian originally thought that the general guard here would consider it carefully, after all, the opponent's origin was unknown, but he didn't expect to open the city gate so soon.
Is the guard of Fucheng a stupid pig!
Zhang Xian didn't dare to delay any longer, so he turned back immediately.
On the evening of October [-]th, Zhang Xian returned to the original barracks and found no one there, so he knew that Yue Fei had captured Hengshui and immediately transferred to Hengshui.
"What! The gate of Fucheng was opened!" Yue Fei was taken aback. He never expected that a Yang Jin would be able to take down Fucheng.
You must know that Fucheng belongs to the Yongjing Army, and the Yongjing Army is a military town, which is originally an important place for military defense.
It is now one of the important lines of defense on the Eastern Front, where the imperial army is stationed, as well as a large-scale local Xiang army.
"What should I do now?"
"Hurry up to Fucheng!" Yue Fei yelled in his heart that something was wrong, "Yang Jin surrendered to the gold thief, and now he took Fucheng as a certificate of surrender. Once Fucheng is lost, the gold thief can immediately go south, use Fucheng as a base, and then go to the river Send troops to Cangzhou."
"At that time, the Jin Army of Fucheng and the Jin Army of Hejian Prefecture will advance to Cangzhou in two directions, and will attack Cangzhou in two lines!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard Yue Fei's words.
If so, wouldn't the defense on the Eastern Front be torn apart soon?
Li Xianggong is in Cangzhou, once Li Gang is captured, the collapse of the Eastern Front will only happen in an instant!
Yue Fei made a decisive decision: "Quickly rectify the troops, we must rush to Fucheng tomorrow morning!"
"This place is a hundred miles away from Fucheng. I'm afraid the soldiers will not be able to bear it if they march a hundred miles overnight."
With a wave of his hand, Yue Fei said decisively: "The military situation is urgent, there is no doubt that anyone who dares to disobey will be decisive!"
Everyone said: "Yes!"
Not long after, Zhang Xian came in.
"Yue Dutong, those recruited under Yang Zhong's command, are unwilling to leave in the name of Tianhei."
"Unwilling to leave?" Yue Fei picked up the spear and walked out with the people.
"Who doesn't want to move, catch it, and behead it in front of the whole army!"
"This……"
"Yue Dutong, there are nearly a hundred people making trouble."
"Then kill them all!" Yue Fei strode out and went to the scene in person.
After receiving Yue Fei's order, those hundred people were immediately arrested.
The torches illuminated the surrounding area, and the knife and axe fell down, 98 heads rolled to the ground, and the ground was stained red with blood.
Then the heads began to be circulated throughout the army.
The people recruited under Yang Zhong's command were still preparing to fight, and when they saw this posture, they immediately became honest.
After Yue Fei reorganized his troops, he left 2000 people in Hengshui for Wang Gui, and left the city overnight.
At the same time, he sent out scouts to return to Daming Mansion in a hurry to report the military situation.
The whole army carried dry rations with them, and in order to hurry, they didn't even bring the supplies.
After a night of traveling, Yue Fei arrived in Fucheng when the sky was slightly bright the next day.
9000 people in total.
1000 people felled trees to build a ladder, and 8000 people immediately arrived at the foot of Fucheng.
Yang Jin was still sleeping soundly, when he was suddenly woken up, saying that there was a large army approaching the city outside.
"Impossible! Who came so fast?"
"Really, Your Majesty!"
(Yang Jin proclaims himself king)
"how many people?"
"The scale of nearly [-] people."
"Go! Go out and see!"
Yang Jin put on the armor he got from Kong Yanzhou, and then boarded the top of the city.
"Who is coming?"
"The governor of Hebei Daming Mansion is Yue Fei!"
Yang Jin laughed loudly and said, "Yue Fei? I haven't heard of it, have you guys?"
Everyone at the top of the city laughed loudly: "I've never heard of it, where did the unknown come from!"
"Yue Fei, what are you doing in Fucheng?"
"Come and catch Yang Jin!"
"Catch me?" Yang Jin laughed even more presumptuously, "Why do you catch me, what are you!"
"You are Yang Jin?"
"I am Yang Jin!"
Yang Zhong immediately let out a heart-piercing wail: "Father! Help me!"
"Erlang!" Yang Zhong was taken aback, he didn't expect his son to be arrested.
"Father, save me, save me quickly!"
"Yue Fei, you let Erlang go, what's the matter, we can talk about it."
Yue Fei fixed his gaze on it and said, "From now on, I will not accept any negotiations, but only accept your surrender. If you don't surrender, I will break your son's leg in front of you!"
"you dare!"
Yue Fei signaled, and Zhang Xian took the iron rod and pulled it towards Yang Zhong's knee.
With a creak, Yang Zhong's knee was broken and he lay on the ground, almost fainted from the pain.
Yang Jin at the top of the city shouted angrily: "Send troops to open the city gate, I want to fight this fellow to the death!"
Just when Yue Fei was approaching Fucheng, Liu Yanzong of Hejian Mansion received a letter from Yang Jin.
He excitedly ran to the Marshal's Mansion: "Deputy Marshal, Fucheng has been captured by Yang Jin, our army can quickly cross the Yellow River!"
(The Yellow River in the Song Dynasty had Beiliu Branch, Dongliu Branch, and Old Road. The Beiliu Branch was south of Hejianfu, went north to Cangzhou, and entered the sea.)
Wanyan Zongfu was overjoyed: "Wanyan Chang!"
"The end is here!"
"Quickly raise [-] troops and cross the Yellow River!"
"Yes!"
Chapter 117 Recapturing Fu City
Yang Jin's generals saw that the Song army outside the city looked like only ten thousand men, and the Lao Tzu had thirty thousand troops.
The advantage is mine!
good!Fuck him!
Yang Jin sent 2 troops out.
And these people are wearing armor.
These armors were captured from Fucheng, and there are also axes, iron bones, horse-cutting knives, spears, etc., and even Zhentianlei.
However, Yang Jin was planning to fight Yue Fei right now, and Zhen Tianlei was of little use.
