Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 664 Sticky, you go and wipe them out! [1st update]

Of course, warfare is not just about generals fighting, but the role of a fierce general is amplified infinitely when they are in close combat.

Especially in the world of "Water Margin" and "The Story of Yue Fei", what kind of general is a general who cannot charge into battle?
Lu Junyi asked curiously, "Brother, we defeated the Jin army of 200,000 in Tanzhou just half a year ago."

"How did they manage to assemble an army of 500,000 in such a short time?"

Cai Fu, who has read the original work, can explain this.

The Jin Dynasty governed six kingdoms and three rivers.

The six kingdoms are Horseshoe Kingdom, Flowing Sand Kingdom, Swallow Kingdom, Sand Tuo Kingdom, Black Water Kingdom, and Senluo Kingdom.

The three rivers are Dajinchuan, Xiaojinchuan, and Yemachuan.

The six states and the three rivers were all vassal states of the Jin Dynasty. They would attack whomever the Jin Dynasty told them to attack.

In the original novel "The Story of Yue Fei", it is common to see a million Jin soldiers marching south, with the six states and the three rivers contributing a significant amount of troops.

Each of the six states and three rivers contributed 30,000 troops, totaling 270,000.

It wouldn't be difficult for the Jin Dynasty to assemble an army of 500,000.

Besides, defeating an army of 200,000 is not the same as annihilating an army of 200,000. Last time, Jin Wuzhu brought back more than 90,000 people from Tanzhou.

Yelü Guozhen explained the problem to Lu Junyi: "The Jin state has gathered a large number of troops from the six kingdoms and the three rivers..."

Yelü Guobao kowtowed repeatedly to Cai Fu: "Yanjing is in imminent danger!"
"Your Majesty, please, for the sake of Tian Shou's favor, save the Wolf Lord!"

"Save! Must save!"

Even disregarding Princess Tianshou's favor, Cai Fu did not want to see the Liao Kingdom destroyed by the Jin Kingdom.

It's a pity that when they came to Cangzhou to attend Yue Fei's wedding, there were many generals, but not many soldiers.

However, mobilizing troops from Qi would be too far-fetched to address the immediate problem, and by the time the troops arrived, Liao would have already been destroyed.

Cai Fu helped Yelü Guozhen and Yelü Guobao up first, and had An Daoquan treat their injuries. Then he discussed with his brothers how to save Yelü Hui.

Wu Song said, "Brother, right now we only have troops from Cangzhou, Mozhou, and Tanzhou that we can mobilize and that can get to Yanjing in time!"
“It shouldn’t be a problem to gather 50,000 troops from the three states, but that’s still far too few compared to the 500,000 Jin soldiers…”

"A coordinated attack from within and without!"

Guan Sheng suggested, "There must be at least 80,000 to 100,000 Liao soldiers in Yanjing City, right?"
"We attacked the Jin army's rear, and the Liao soldiers took the opportunity to break out of the city!"

"By coordinating from both inside and outside, and attacking from both sides, we can achieve a greater effect!"

Lu Zhishen slapped his thigh: "Brother, bring the captured cannons, let's blast them to smithereens!"

Lu Junyi had a different idea: "I heard that Nian Deli has defeated eighteen generals of the Liao Kingdom and is brave enough to fight ten thousand men!"
"Brother, let me go test his strength!"

After discussing it, Cai Fu made the decision: "Let's bombard him first, and then the Ma army will attack him from behind!"
"As long as the Liao soldiers aren't stupid, they'll definitely cooperate with us from the inside and outside, and then we'll carry out a decapitation strike!"

"First objective: Slay the enemy general and capture the flag!"
"Blah blah blah, the most important thing is speed!"
"Zhang Bao, go to Tanzhou and inform Zong Ze to send troops!"

"Wang Heng, go to Mozhou and inform my fifth brother to send troops!"
"We will hunt down Yanjing in three days!"

Zhang Bao and Wang Heng accepted the order and each carried a large iron bar and left.

Both of them can walk. Wang Heng can carry a load of three or four hundred catties and walk three or four hundred li a day.

Zhang Bao walked even faster than Wang Heng.

After they left, Cai Fu summoned Zhu Wu, told him what had happened, and asked him to gather the troops from Cangzhou.

Since it was Yue Fei's wedding night, Cai Fu specifically instructed that Yue Fei not to be disturbed.

The next morning, Cai Fu mustered his generals Lu Junyi, Lu Zhishen, Guan Sheng, Wu Song, Hu Sanniang, and others, and also brought along his four adopted sons and technical talents such as Ling Zhen and An Daoquan. He also appointed Zhu Wu as the army's advisor, and Teng Kan and Yuan Lang to accompany the army on the expedition. In total, 20,000 troops marched towards Yanjing!
Because he was not disturbed and the wedding night was too tiring, Yue Fei slept soundly until it was already broad daylight.

Upon opening his eyes, Yue Fei's first sight was of Li Xiao'e in his arms, and he smiled happily.

Li Xiao'e was beautiful, though not as beautiful as Zhao Fujin, Fang Jinzhi, Princess Tianshou, Hu Sanniang, Qiu Qiongying, Cai Ya, Li Ping'er, Cheng Wan'er, Liu Xianglian, etc., but she could still be considered a girl from a modest family.

Most importantly, Li Xiao'e was his wife and his first woman, which made her exceptionally significant.

He's already settled down and started a family at such a young age.

Under his watchful gaze, Li Xiao'e quickly woke up. The young couple, having tasted the sweetness of love, inevitably lingered together for a long time.

As a result, Yue Fei didn't get up until noon. If he hadn't been so hungry, he wouldn't have wanted to get up at all.

After going outside, Yue Fei felt something was wrong. Why didn't Yang Zaixing, Gao Chong, and their bunch of brats come?

Those brats came to make trouble in the bridal chamber last night, and I barely managed to get rid of them...

Do you think we'll let them off so easily today?

However, Yue Fei quickly remembered that there was something more important to do: he had to take Li Xiao'e to meet her parents-in-law and elder brother.

What I was supposed to do this morning, I've been putting off until now.

Ignoring their hunger, Yue Fei quickly helped Li Xiao'e wash up and went to pay his respects to his mother-in-law and Zhou Tong.

As a result, my mother-in-law suddenly had so much to say today, and she kept talking to the couple.

After finally waiting for his mother-in-law to finish speaking, Yue Fei and his men went to pay their respects to Zhou Tong, who also kept rambling on and on.

Yue Fei sensed something was wrong: "Father, could something be wrong?"

Zhou Tong still wanted to persist, but Yue Fei had already figured it out:
"Father is trying to stall me!"
"Something's wrong! I'll go ask my older brother!"

Seeing Yue Fei turn and run, Zhou Tong had no choice but to call him back and hand him the letter Cai Fu had left behind.

Yue Fei was so angry after reading the letter that he almost cried:

"My older brother didn't take me with him... Sigh!"

Meanwhile, Cai Fu had already led his army out of Cangzhou and was marching towards Yanjing at top speed.

……

Yanjing.

"Not urgent."

This time, the Jin army was commanded by the eldest prince, Nianhan, who successfully seized military power from Wuzhu.

Nianhan had a face as golden as gold, hair as black as clouds, bushy eyebrows and a long beard, a wide mouth and round eyes, and was different from his brothers Dahan and Wuzhu only in complexion.

Looking at Yanjing, which was completely surrounded, Nianhan calmly said:
"By this time, the third brother should have already killed the King of Qi. Once he brings in twenty cannons, he will bombard the city gates."

"We will attack Yanjing just like the King of Qi attacked the fourth prince. Once the Liao emperor dies, the Liao kingdom will perish."

The Fourth Marshal, Urib, gave a thumbs-up: "Your Highness is wise and mighty; the unification of the world is just around the corner!"

Nianhan laughed heartily, then looked at Nian Deli, the future Grand Marshal and current vanguard officer:
"Nian Deli, once the city gates are blown open, you lead the vanguard in and bring me Yelü Hui's head!"

Sticky: "Yes!"

Just then, a scout came to report:

"Your Highness, an army is coming from the south!"

Nianhan said dismissively, "There are actually troops coming to the aid of the king?"
"Nian Deli, go and wipe them out!"

Sticky: "Yes!"
