If there were no twelve gold medals, would Yue Jiajun insist on the Northern Expedition and be able to "directly pound the Huanglong Mansion"? (Part 2)
After several battles, the remaining strength of the Yue family army was less than 50,000, this kind of situation of having more than enough and not having enough strength, if the Jin Kingdom was outwardly invincible, but in fact it was under the idea of luring the enemy to go deep, when the Yue Family Army really thought that it was directly attacking the Yellow Dragon, in fact, it was not possible that this was just the Jin State's luring the enemy to go deep and catch the turtle in the urn.
Yue Fei was naturally also well aware of this, so after taking the Yong'an Army, he did not choose to venture forward, but slowly fled to Haocheng and Yingchang, in an attempt to shorten the battle line and recuperate.
However, at that time, the Jin State also saw the difficult state of the Yue family army, and immediately launched an attack on these two places, and the bloody battle between the two sides was about to break out, although the Yue family army finally won the victory, but after this battle, the strength of the troops was sharply reduced, and it was actually a very irrational thing to want to go deep into the enemy's interior to fight.
Opinions vary
Therefore, although Yue Jiajun gave up the reason for going deep into these twelve gold medals, even if Song Gaozong did not issue these twelve gold medals, Yue Jiajun would not be reckless to attack Jin Guo to tell the truth.
In addition, during this period, the Yue family army only gradually recovered its own city, and was restoring the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty little by little, in contrast, the Jin State was only scratched a little bit of fur, not hurt at all, the two sides were still disparity in strength, less than half a year after Yue Fei was ordered to return to the Dynasty, the Jin State was able to lead 90,000 elite soldiers to the south again.
If Yue Fei had not returned at that time, the few tens of thousands of people left would have faced the 90,000 people in the Golden Kingdom, and the tragic end could be imagined. Moreover, from the perspective of geographical environment, the battlefields of the previous times will be more handy for the Yue family army, but if they reach the border of the Golden Kingdom,
For Jin Guo, who is good at using cavalry assault, even if it is against the brave Yue family army, a fight may be able to create the myth of "Jurchen Iron Riding Full of Ten Thousand Invincible".
However, there are also some people on the Internet who believe that Yue Fei was the only one in the limelight at that time, and his morale was high, and Yue Fei himself had many remarks similar to "he went to Huanglong City and drank bitterly with the princes", so it can be seen that if there is no obstruction from Song Gaozong, Yue Fei also has a certain degree of certainty about directly pounding the Yellow Dragon.
Not only that, in the "Testament of Yue Wu MuGong", for the plan to directly attack the Yellow Dragon, there were actually more detailed action steps, the only exception was the twelve gold medals from Song Gaozong.
This book was written by the second son of Yue Fei's staff, and to some extent, the credibility is very high, and it also has certain reference value for judging the situation at that time, so in the "Continuation of the Eguo Jintuo" written by Yue Fei's grandson later, the content was also included.
For Yue Fei, directly pounding the Yellow Dragon has always been an ultimate goal of his, and all the previous things are for this moment, so on the way to the march, Yue Fei will continue to mention the matter of directly pounding the Yellow Dragon.
epilogue
However, some people felt that this was just a hindrance to the war situation at that time, as a general, Yue Fei needed to set a long-term goal for the soldiers below, and for that time, there was nothing more exciting than directly attacking the news inside the enemy.
In other words, this kind of behavior is more similar to today's bosses drawing big cakes for employees, Yue Fei wants to develop well towards this side, but how much success there is, it is estimated that only Yue Fei himself is clear.
