The weather was already quite hot, and Wu Jie put on a coat in a daze and went out. He looked up and saw that the moon above his head was half full. At this time, a cold wind blew and he woke up with a start. He felt more and more ridiculous... Guo Hao was a son of a general and had a lot of experience. How could he be so impatient?
However, a moment later, something even more ridiculous happened.
"What did you say?"
Wu Jie was stunned and his clothes slipped off. Although Wu Gong was behind him, he was also dumbfounded and did not even try to catch it.
"General, I don't believe it for the moment, but Xiao Heda's youngest son doesn't seem to be lying. It's ridiculous for the whole family to lie to this extent."
Beside the brazier, Guo Hao, who had traveled back and forth three times in one day and drove hundreds of miles, was so tired that his face turned red and he was out of breath. But he still bowed his hands seriously. "According to Xiao Heda's youngest son, Weiming Cha Ge gathered troops in Youzhou and prepared to return to help. He had to tell the truth to the generals of various states... He said it was the Song army... He said there was a royal army of no less than 30,000 people, which broke through the gorge about three or four days ago. Xingqing Prefecture was in danger! The Yanzhou troops were the latest reinforcements he hastily sent after receiving the will of the Xixia king, and then the Iron Harriers were sent to Lingzhou early. Now they are gathering various troops and are about to gather a large army to go west to defend the king. As for Xiao Heda, Weiming Cha Ge also said something, saying that it was an emergency and asked him to be a little considerate, and then he took away his military power in public and replaced it with Weiming Yun Ge, and imprisoned him in Youzhou Prefecture."
"If so, how did he let his youngest son escape?" Unexpectedly, after listening to the other party's further description, Wu Jie calmed down.
"According to his youngest son, after Weiming Chage put him under house arrest, he led a few of his men to the west yesterday before the troops of Youzhou were fully assembled. Xiao Heda took the opportunity to intercede with Weiming Renli, the military supervisor left by Weiming Chage, to let his second and youngest sons return to Xiazhou to tell his subordinates that their families were safe. Weiming Renli was a Confucian scholar, so he readily agreed... The youngest son secretly left the team halfway, galloped for five or six hours, changed three or five horses, and detoured around the tribes under his control before arriving at Pingrong Village." Guo Hao responded quickly. "I didn't dare to hesitate. After asking clearly, I came directly."
Wu Jie did not respond to the words, but picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on, then paced in the narrow courtyard in front of the hall.
Speaking of which, unlike Guo Hao... Wu Jie actually has a lot of information.
For example, after Yue Fei turned around from Quwu Mountain, he reported to the imperial court immediately. However, according to Emperor Zhao's "trusteeship model" at that time, this level of military intelligence would have been directly transferred from Jingzhao to Wu Jie. Instead, it was Emperor Zhao who saw the copied report from Wu Jie later.
In other words, Wu Jinqing knew from the beginning that Yue Fei was going to Xingqing Prefecture. When the troops in Yanzhou evacuated at the first opportunity, he had already begun to consider a certain possibility.
But the problem is that this possibility is too exaggerated. It is impossible for him to take action based solely on the unusual movement of the Yanzhou garrison.
After all, Emperor Zhao once again handed over the entire command of the Eastern Front to him. He had to be responsible and had to find a balance between possibility, probability of success and results.
Relatively speaking, Wu Jie was also very clear about Guo Hao's thoughts... Yue Fei had made such great contributions, how could you, Wu Jie, ever catch up with him in your lifetime? Even Qu Da was going to make a comeback this time and become a great general, so aren't you worried, Wu Jie? And Liu Qi... The Liu brothers and the Wu brothers had always been talked about in the Western Army.
Moreover, Wu Jie did not find this idea ridiculous. He also served in the Western Army for 20 years and could not let go of these things. On the contrary, he thought about some things more than Guo Hao.
But the more this is the case, the more important it is to have a proper plan.
In addition to making careful plans, one must also seize a real opportunity and then go all out... just like what Yue Fei and Qu Duan did this time.
"Pass my military order." Wu Jie stared at the half-moon above his head for a long time, and suddenly spoke. "Additional military orders to Wu Lin, let him march all his troops, and quickly advance to Yan'an. Use double the strength you have... Don't worry about any pots and pans, abandon the Diaoyinshan camp, and attack Ganquan with all your troops!"
Wu Gong nodded and said yes, and was about to turn back to write the military order, but Guo Hao was very anxious and wanted to persuade him again.
"Don't be in a hurry... Let's finish talking first." Wu Jie took a long breath and continued to solemnly pass on the order. "Write a letter to the Prince of Yan'an, explain this matter, and ask him to do his best to attack Linzhen and Yanchang, so that the living woman can't take care of both ends."
Wu Gong bowed again to show that he understood.
"I will personally write another memorial, asking the emperor to go north and bring at least 10,000 elite soldiers from the left army of the imperial camp to... come to Fuzhou!"
As Wu Jie bowed from afar this time, Guo Hao finally came to his senses.
"Finally, while the main force of Xixia is heading west, Brother Weimingyun will go to Xiazhou to gather troops. We will immediately send out troops and attack Hengshan fiercely... Let's see if he will turn back!"
"How many troops should be sent out?" Guo Hao couldn't help but.
"Send as many as you can!" Wu Jie turned back suddenly. "You go to Longzhou, and I will go to Hongzhou myself. We will each send 10,000 people. Let Yang Zheng send troops from Huanzhou as well. No matter how many soldiers there are or how few are useful, I want him to send them all to attack Yanzhou! Then send an order to the various tribes in Hengshan at the same time, telling them not to be indecisive. If they don't come this time, the Song Dynasty will never accept them again! Then when you send troops, take Xiao Heda's two sons with you, explain the matter of Yelu Yudu and Yelu Dashi to them, and then say that Yelu Dashi's force is 50,000! Tell them that Yelu Dashi has already arrived at the foot of the Helan Mountains, and the emperor has already promised them the Hexi and Houtao! Let them go back to Xiazhou to rebel! Go to Youzhou to save their father! They, father and son, have been running Xiazhou for decades, and have accepted many Khitans. If they don't move this time, they deserve to die!"
