In fact, they were too worried. Wu Jie had too few troops and was besieged on the line of the Immortal Pass, which led to emptying in other places. At this time, it was beyond the reach of trying to expand the results of the battle...

The Battle of Immortal Pass ends here, and the Battle of Sichuan and Shaanxi ends here! To sum up, the results of the battle can be seen from Wanyan Zongbi's small actions after the battle. In Fengxiang, he held Qiying's hand tightly and said sincerely, "I will not blame the past."

There is apologies in these four words. After all, he used his sword to greet Qi Ying on his head, which was very painful and dangerous. There was also regret. The facts proved that Qi Ying was right. The one who decided the victory or defeat of this battle was the six days before the war. If you listen to Qi Ying's rapid attack and don't give the time to prepare for the Wu brothers to meet, would this battle be another result?

More of a warning. His Highness, the Fourth Prince, who has a strong sense of self-esteem and competitive spirit, is hinting: Don’t mention the Immortal Pass to me in the future, killing Jinping, monk Yuan, and the ghost Shaanxi, Sichuan! These places are taboos and are never allowed to be mentioned!

After that, the fourth prince never approached this land again in his life, nor did he fight against the Wu brothers again. His essence was once again exposed. There was no such thing as the Jurchen God of War, just a robber who bullies the weak and fears the strong, runs away when he beats the pain, and dares not turn back!

In the long run, the Battle of Immortal Pass was a turning point in the decline of the Song and Jin forces in Sichuan and Shaanxi! After this battle, Wu Jie's army was greatly boosted, which not only made the Jurchens "dare not to peek at Shu from now on", but also regained most of the land in Shaanxi in one go, but this achievement was still a feat of Jianyan's crossing south to Zhongxing generals!

And another thing happened between the defeat of Wanyan Zongbi's Immortal Pass and the loss of territory in Shaanxi! That incident, the panic caused by that person to the Jin Kingdom was even heavier than that of the Immortal Pass and Wu Jie!

On the 8th, Zhao Ding was appointed as the Chief Secretary. On the 1st, the Chief Secretary Meng Yu arrived in Lin'an from Zhenjiang. On the 15th, the Chief Secretary Zhang Jun was dismissed.

On April 1, Wu Jie was named the governor of Ding**** and the deputy envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu for his merits. Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty Zhao Gou personally gave him a battle robe, armor, and an imperial pen. "I hate to block the distance and cannot be beaten to your back." On the 4th, the senator Liu Ziyu, the envoy of Xuanfu, and the Cheng Tang people were dismissed.

On the 7th, Wu Jie took the remaining power of Xianren Pass to the north to recover the lost land in Shaanxi. He recovered Feng, Qin and Longzhou without any effort. Except for Fengxiang Prefecture, all the land on Qinfeng Road belonged to the Southern Song Dynasty.

Li Heng, Niu Gao, Dong Xian and others followed Zhao Ding back to Lin'an. On the 9th, Zhao Gou forgives them for abandoning the six states of Xiangyang Prefecture and incorporates 15,000 of their troops into Zhang Jun's Shenwu Right Army. Niu Gao returns to Jiangzhou on Jiangnan West Road to become Yue Fei's subordinate.

The first Northern Expedition of the Southern Song Dynasty failed. Li Heng and Zhai Cong not only lost the land they recovered during the Northern Expedition, but also lost all his defense zone, Xiangyang Prefecture, and the six prefectures! The Southern Song Dynasty opened its doors! The situation was once very critical!

Wanyan Zongbi was worried about the choice of going east to Shunjiang and taking Sichuan first, and finally chose to fight against Wu Jie to the death... This made the Southern Song Group very happy. Theoretically, no matter how Wu Jie won or lost, at least he bought time for the reconstruction of the Yangtze River defense line. They seized the time, organized troops, and chose who would go to the battle among the major generals...

After carefully selecting, selecting the best from the best, the final candidate is... Yue Fei!

It is not Liu Guangshi, not Zhang Jun, not Han Shizhong, not the great military strategist, politician, and thinker Zhang Jun, but he is actually Yue Fei, a "young general" who is only famous and has a strong reputation!

It has been four years since the battle to recover Jiankang. During this period, the storm and situation are changing, and everything is in turmoil. Today’s Yue Fei is no longer the Yue Fei of the past! Yue Fei’s life is a fierce song, and the ups and downs of each note are the echo of the entire Chinese nation. It should be remembered, missed, and sung!

The situation was turbulent and the Song Dynasty was on the verge of danger. At this time, Yue Fei was suddenly pushed to the forefront! Song Ting ordered him to send troops to the north to revive 6 states including Xiangyang Prefecture!

Yue Fei was fierce. Since he joined the army, he defeated the Jin army, recovered the lost territory, and welcomed the two saints, which was his ultimate ideal. During the bandit suppression, he had stated (or reminded) to Zhao Gou countless times in the form of official documents. What was the real purpose of fighting a civil war? Now it seems that the court has finally taken it seriously, the action has begun, and he will fire the first shot!

A large number of weapons, materials, and food were gathered at Yue Fei's station. In order to smooth the operation, the Song court sent a dedicated person to take charge of all this...

On the 1st, Zhao Gou also issued an order: Liu Guangshi, the envoy of Jiangdong Xuanfu, introduced troops to patrol the border, and the troops were sent out to Chen Cai; Han Shizhong, the envoy of Huaidong Xuanfu, stationed ten thousand people to Si Shang as a suspect soldier. Two generals from the "Four Generals of Zhongxing" joined hands to protect the third general Yue Fei!

All the specifications were not before, which was enough to prove the Southern Song Dynasty attached great importance to this Northern Expedition! People were excited for a moment! The time for regaining lost territory and rebuilding the Song Dynasty was finally here!

But the person involved was very calm and even indifferent. In a more secret document, Zhao Gou explained the goal of this Northern Expedition very clearly. He first told Yue Fei why he chose to go to the expedition in May? Because in autumn, after the wheat harvest, the military rations were sufficient, and the pseudo-Qi would launch a large-scale attack. At that time, the six counties including Xiangyang and others were under the control of the enemy, and the Southern Song Dynasty would be very passive. Instead of being embarrassed at that time, it would be better to take action first!

As for the target, Zhao Gou emphasized: This time, we will regain the land of Xiangyang Prefecture, Xinyang Army, Tang, Deng, Sui, and Ying. If the puppet Qi army resists in battle, then Yue Fei can attack at will. However, once the enemy escapes outside the six states, Yue Fei cannot chase him! Moreover, during the Northern Expedition, it is strictly forbidden to spread sensitive words such as "recovering Kaifeng" and "advance to Youyan", which surprised the friendly countries...

This is not an exaggeration. After Liu Yu ascended the throne and became the emperor of the "Qi", Zhao Gou was very friendly to this former subordinate. The word "pseudo-Qi" had not appeared before. In the official documents of the Song Dynasty, it was always "Great Qi" and even Zhao Gou sent someone to the Jin Dynasty to pass by Kaifeng. He would bring a very heavy gift to Liu Yu's eldest son Liu Lin, but Liu's eldest son refused to give face and retreated...

Analyzing the above, the subtext is very clear: Zhao Gou only wants to recover the six prefectures of Xiangyang Prefecture and keep the peace in Jiangnan, but he does not want to fight against Liu Yu and even the Jin Kingdom. He wants to keep the room for peace talks!

In order to prevent Yue Fei from leading his army outside, not obeying the orders and hurting the enemy, Zhao Gou wrote an edict in his own hand. It reminded him, "When chasing, he was careful not to leave the old territory that Li Heng conserved, but caused trouble and had a big plan. Even if he made a great contribution, he would be punished and he must obey the order."

How depressing the eight words "Even if you make a great contribution, you will be punished" are so depressed and depressed. You will be bound by yourself before fighting, and you will be a ghost! I believe that Yue Fei has determined his position in Zhao Gou's mind at this time!

The reason why he was sent, rather than Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, and Han Shizhong, to the Northern Expedition, was not so much because he was attracted by his courage, but rather that he was insignificant at this time. His success was beneficial to the country. His failure was not harmful to the national defense plan...

On the Dragon Boat Festival on May 5, the Wan Yue family army went to the Northern Expedition with such depression, but Yue Fei's fighting spirit became more and more prosperous. He whistled in the Yangtze River, "Flying not to capture the thief, not to get involved in this river."

The first battle of the Northern Expedition was Yingzhou City. The garrison was named Jing Chao. He was known for his bravery in the pseudo-Qi period. Yue Fei, the "Attack of Ten Thousand People". According to the old rules, he sent people to persuade him to surrender. In his opinion, the pseudo-Qi period, together with Liu Yu, were of the same nature as the bandits. They first recruited and then killed them before they could complete the process... Jing Chao was very excited. He was an enemy of Ten Thousand People, a fierce man at the forefront of the Liu Yu faction. How could Yue Fei persuade him to surrender? This was a naked insult! So he sent a man named Liu Ji to respond...

Liu Ji made a big fuss on the head of Yingzhou City, from Yue Fei to Zhang Xian, scolded Yue's army from beginning to end. It worked! Yue Fei sent an order: Crack down Yingzhou City and capture this Liu Ji alive!

Yingzhou is a famous city in Jianghan. The city is tall. Jing Chao thought that Yue Fei was fighting alone, with little military strength and no heavy siege equipment. The city wall alone was enough to determine the situation of the battle. But what was amazing is that the Yue family army did not build any ladders at all, but just "extending his shoulders" and climbed to the top of the city. The leader was a 15-year-old boy. He held two iron cones weighing 80 kilograms and crossed the battle formation, which was invincible and burned the war directly to the inner city!

He is Yue Fei's eldest son, Yue Yun, who is called "Wing Guanren" in the army. Some historical materials are explained by the word "Wing Guanren". Because Yue Yun is too young, he said that he is a young and thin young man. The three words "Wing Guanren" refer to the ever-winning victory and unbeaten!

On the 5th, Yingzhou City was recovered! In this battle, the Yue family army killed 7,000 puppet Qi defenders, and their bodies accumulated in the city, surpassing the tallest building in the city. Jing Chao disappeared and did not dare to fight on the battlefield at all. Later, I found out that this man jumped off the cliff... Liu Ji, who was cursing, was captured alive...

After conquering Yingzhou, Yue Fei did not stop and immediately divided his troops into two groups. Zhang Xian and Xu Qing went to capture Suizhou. Yue Fei himself led the main force to Xiangyang Prefecture and fought a decisive battle with the pseudo Qi commander Li Cheng.

Xiangyang has been an important city since ancient times, the largest city in Jianghan. How important is it? During the Three Kingdoms, Wei, Shu and Wu fought for Xiangyang, but Xiangyang was always controlled by Cao Wei, and together with Qishan to the west and Hefei to the east, forming the joint front of Cao Wei. In the near future, Xichuan, Shaanxi, Zhongjing, Xiangxiang, and Dongjianghuai will also form the lifeline of the Southern Song Dynasty's anti-Jin and Mongolia!

At this time, Yue Fei led more than 10,000 troops not only to face the tall Xiangyang city wall, but also to Li Cheng's 100,000 army. This was really unequal, but Yue Fei found that he had lost his goal. His courage once again became the key to the outcome of the war! Li Cheng, the first general of the pseudo-Qi Dynasty, heard that Yingzhou fell and Yue Fei approached, immediately fled...

Yue Fei recovered Xiangyang Prefecture and then Tangzhou.

Besides, the battle in Suizhou was in a stalemate, and Zhang Xian was unexpectedly delayed. For more than a month, Suizhou still failed. This is a serious threat to the Yue family army, which is already insufficient. For many years, Zhang Xian was the strongest general in the Yue family army. If he fails, he will shake morale...

At the critical moment, someone took the initiative to fight: Niu Gao! In the novel, he was Yue Fei's childhood friend and his lifelong friend. He was both reckless and brave, and he would suddenly become smart from time to time. Whenever he was at that time, Jin Wushu would have a lot of muscles. In real history, General Niu was a professional soldier with both wisdom and courage, but his life was miserable. When the Jin army first invaded, he was already a regular army. But somehow, he was incorporated into Li Heng's army and was painted with a layer of militia cloak...

At this time, he transferred to Yue Fei's subordinates, which still made people feel that they were not supported. And he said something when he asked for a war, and instantly escalated into unreliable "Military information is urgent, I only bring military rations for three days, and I will overcome Suizhou before the food is exhausted."

The entire Yue family army looked at each other, "What do you mean? You are stronger than General Zhang Xian? General Zhang can't chew hard bones for more than 0 days, and you can handle them in God." You outsider dare to despise the Yue family army!

Yue Fei didn't think so much. He really allocated Niu Gao three days of marching rations and ordered him to set off to succeed as soon as possible! After that, the news came, and the whole army was shocked. Niu Gao only took less than two days to say: In addition to the time spent on marching on the road, he arrived in Suizhou almost the same day and immediately conquered the city...

This is an unprecedentedly powerful brother, who is really much stronger than Zhang Xian. But Niu Gao is very modest. While he was escorting Wang Song, the magistrate of Suizhou in the pseudo-Qi, back to the camp for the order, he said with a comrade-in-arms, "Everyone works together for the country, why do you care about who is the credit?"

But the soldiers of the Yue family army who knew the inside story looked so good: they conquered Suizhou that day, why is this scene so similar to Yingzhou City? Did it do it the same person?

That's right! Yue Yun followed Niu Gao to the battle. He once again led the crowd first, and almost solved the battle alone! His military achievements were brilliant! However, some people have been doubting that the weapons he used were too heavy, and the 80-pound iron cone was unreasonable, and the result of which was born was even more out of reality...

Yue Yun joined the army when he was young and died for his country every year. His short and glorious life cannot be compared with ordinary people! Can ordinary people cross the battle formation at the age of 15 and fight bravely on the battlefield of cold weapons? Putting aside his ability, his courage is not within the so-called normal range!

At this point, the Yue family army won all three battles after crossing the river. Ying, Xiangyang, Tang and other states were taken down. I believe that the remaining Dengzhou and Xinyang troops were easily succeeded... Most of the Northern Expeditions were successful!

On June 8, Zhao Gou said to the ruling minister, "Yue Fei's victory in the northern expedition will be unwilling to accept it. If he and Liu Yu dare to invade the south again, I will personally fight for the enemy and will not take refuge at sea."

Correspondingly, Wanyan Zonghan decided: This time we would completely resolve Zhao Gou! The eldest prince came to a conclusion from previous wars: no matter how beautiful the Jin army fought on land, he could not catch Zhao Gou, and this man would go into the sea. Then he would not go by land, but head south from the sea route, first attack Changguo County, instead attack Mingzhou, seize the imperial ship that Zhao Gou had been parked there, and then directly put it on the Qiantang River estuary to block Zhao Gou in Hangzhou City! Once successful, the Southern Song Dynasty will be completely resolved!
