Soon after Zhao Huan ascended the building to work in the army, he issued a court order, with Li Gang as the pro-conscription envoy, and Cao Shu, the captain of the Ma army, as his deputy. Bai Shizhong dismissed the prime minister, with Li Bangyan as Dazai, Zhang Bangchang as Shaozai, Wu Minzhi Privy Council, and Zhao Ye as his servant. Zhao Huan also paid 1 million taels of silver, 1 million horses of silk, and 1 million yuan of money for funds.

Cao Guangbi still had no official position, so Li Gang allowed him to organize civilian men to help defend in addition to the military officers. After Lin Yi took over the Han Ministry's property in Bianliang, Cao Guangbi was very wealthy in his hands, scattering gold and silver to raise manpower, and the capital and outside the city heard about it, and among them, the students of Bianliang were the most active!

In addition to the highest educational institutions in the world, Guozijian and Taixue, there are palace schools, sects, martial arts, law, arithmetic, calligraphy, painting, medicine, Taoism, and Kaifeng Fuxue, which is a local school in Kaifeng Prefecture. Among them, Taixue alone has 200 students from the upper house, 600 students from the inner house, and 3,000 people from the outer house. At this time, the enemy is pressing, and the students are enthusiastic, as soon as they hear that the Kongbi Books Club is recruiting people to help defend with the support of Li Youcheng, who will not help?

In addition to the students, there were tens of thousands of citizens who actively participated, and it is not clear how many of them came for the country and how many came for money. However, Cao Guangbi didn't care about this, but only selected 1,500 people for training, of which more than 300 were students.

Although Cao Guangbi only brought Shi Kang and Deng Su here, the dark power of the Han Department in Bianliang is actually not small, but most of them are not exposed to the light and can only be used as a logistics force in the dark. However, Lin Yi guarded against the change of things, and had already transferred veterans of the loyal military army to Beijing on business in the name of sending letters, urging troops, etc., and these people did not go back after coming to Bianliang, and at this time there were fifty or sixty people, these fifty or sixty people were all soldiers who had fought in actual combat, and their mental outlook and organizational discipline were not only different from those recruited students and citizens, but even far superior to the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army. And although they were not trained by Cao Guangbi himself, the military system of the Loyal Army was originally born from the Han military law customized by Zhe Yanchong and Cao Guangbi, so Cao Guangbi was handy in command, and these people were also like fish in water under Cao Guangbi.

Cao Guangbi took these more than 50 people as the backbone and quickly organized this 1,500-person people's army. Although the students and citizens who have received the training are one out of ten, Bianliang is after all the abyss of the world's winds, and it has been soft for a long time, and there are not many students like Deng Su who can dance swords and ride horses.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Zongwang Qianfeng set off from Mu Huogang, and Cao Guangbi heard the report and decided to venture out of the city with Shi Kang to lead ten horsemen out of the city to investigate. Deng Su stopped, thinking that he should not risk his life.

Cao Guangbi sighed: "If I were the head of the army, I would naturally not risk my life. But now, where can Bianliang City send out his subordinates who are both capable and courageous! He led people out of the land of a few arrows, and saw the Jin soldiers preparing boats in the upper reaches of the Jinshui River, so he reined in and returned, and came back to see Li Gang and said: "The Jin people are preparing boats in the upper reaches of the Jinshui River, and I am afraid that they will go down the river and attack the gates of Xianfeng, Wansheng and Weizhou." ”

Li Gang asked, and Cao Guangbi said: "The ships that the Jin people hastily collected are not to be feared!" Our army only needs to collect long hooks, bows, crossbows, wrestlers, and rolling stones. But there is one thing that I am afraid of. ”

Li Gang asked what he was afraid of, and Cao Guangbi said: "Since Yanshan to this point, the Great Song soldiers often collapse without a fight. What Guangbi is afraid of is that the soldiers have the strength to fight but have no heart to fight! ”

Li Gang woke up and immediately went to supervise the battle in person.

The Jin army prepared until the evening, and as a result, dozens of large boats went down the river, which were also the war equipment they found effortlessly on the south bank after crossing the river.

Li Gang had already recruited 2,000 dead soldiers in the army, and temporarily handed them over to Cao Guangbi to command, he himself boosted morale on the city wall, and Cao Guangbi led men and horses to ambush the city. The water surface of the Jinshui River is not wide, and when the ships approached, Cao Guangbi ordered the wrestlers to hook the big boats to the shore with long hooks, and threw rolling stones on the city to smash the boats, and shot the soldiers on the ship with bows and crossbows, killing more than 100 people. Seeing the disadvantage, the Jin army retreated slightly.

After the situation gradually eased, Cao Guangbi looked at a few corpses and said to Shi Kang: "They are all Yan people, not Zongwang headquarters. The implication is that the evaluation of the results of this battle is average. But after all, this was the first battle of the Song army to defend the city, and the first battle saw Xiaojie, which had the effect of boosting morale.

On the second day, the Jin army attacked the sour jujube gate with a cloud ladder, and Li Gang was playing right in the palace at that time, and hurried to the governor when he heard the news, and asked the emperor to increase the number of sharpshooters of the forbidden army by thousands. The infantry archers of the Great Song Dynasty are unparalleled in the world, and this thousand marksmen are the elite of the elite. The golden soldiers around the ladder all fell down.

Li Gang went to the city to supervise the battle, inspired the soldiers, and the soldiers were all brave. The moat of Bianliang is extremely wide, the Jin soldiers need to take the bamboo raft to cross the ditch to attack the city, the Song army on the city is full of arrows and stones, specializing in the golden soldiers who are not in the middle of the stream, most of the people in the north are not accustomed to water, and the bamboo raft and raft fall into the water as soon as they sway. The Bianliang moat is not only wide, but also deep, if you can't swim and fall, you can only wait to drown!

However, due to the fact that the city wall was rebuilt during the Zhenghe period, all the city walls appeared to be wide and straight, and the natural danger was abandoned because of the elegant problems, and the artificially erected city walls were greatly attacked. Seeing the flaw, the Jin generals crossed the moat from the dead end of the Song army's defense, and finally hundreds of people reached the city with a cloud ladder. Cao Guangbi was shocked, raised his hand and shouted: "It's a good man, go down with me!" Bianliang is to defend or break, in one fell swoop! Shi Kang and more than ten other people took the lead in echoing, and the Wutai army made He Guan excited by Cao and Shi, and said angrily: "I am guarding the capital, but now I let outsiders rob the prestige!" "Led the men and horses to Cao Guangbi to take the lead, and in a short time, hundreds of dead soldiers fell down the wall under the cover of the archers on the city wall, and rushed to kill the golden people who crossed the trench.

This group of golden soldiers is extremely strong, although there are few enemies but not a little, He Guan rushed to kill and forgot his life, and died in battle, everyone was inspired by his late bravery, fought hard, and had the help of arrows in the city to gain the upper hand. The Jin soldiers saw that they could not lead the troops to retreat, but the twenty or so cloud ladders were too late to take away, and all of them were destroyed by the Song army.

In this battle, the Song army beheaded more than ten levels, all of which were Jurchen partial divisions.

Zhao Huan heard the victory in the palace, sent the envoy to condolence and reward, and sent the imperial pen to praise, give the royal wine, silver bowls, colored silk, etc. From the time of Mao to the time of the undeclared, many enemies were killed. Seeing that the city was well defended and difficult to attack, the Jin soldiers retreated.

However, he said that Zong Wang supervised the battle in the army and was quite dissatisfied with the results. Suddenly, there was a battle report from his subordinates, and there seemed to be Han soldiers and horses in Yunbianliang City. Zong Wang was furious when he heard this, and nodded his soldiers and horses: "Go!" I'll ask Orihiko to rush! ”

At this time, Xiao Tienu's main force had been taken away by Zong Han, and the only people left in Zong Wang's army were the hundreds of horsemen under the command of Zhi Zhi, and they could not have direct contact with Zhe Yanchong. Outside the camp where Zhi Yanchong was located, it was guarded by 500 elite Jurchen soldiers, and only Puluhu, Antahai and a few female slaves were waiting in the tent.

When Zong Wang rushed in angrily, Puluhu Antahai was slightly flustered when he saw him like this, but Zhi Yanchong was not in a hurry, and he didn't raise his eyelids, and said lightly: "The killing sound outside is shocking, presumably the battle is lively, why do you still have time to come and see me?" ”

Zong Wang didn't go around in circles, sneered twice, and said straight to the point: "Today's siege of the city, there are Han people in the city!" How do you explain this? ”

Zhi Yanchong was slightly surprised when he heard this: "Hanbu people? Is this really the case? ”

Zong Wang sneered: "Someone saw the Song people risk going out of the city to fight, and the person who led the way, it was Cao Guangbi!" Don't say you don't know! ”

When Zhi Yanchong heard Cao Guangbi's three words, he smiled and said: "It turned out to be the second brother, and he went back after all." ”

Zong Wang said angrily: "You really know! ”

"Not bad." Zhi Yan said: "Guangbi will abandon the Han Department to help the Great Song Dynasty defend the war, this matter is in my expectation." ”

Zong Wang was slightly stunned and said, "Abandon the Han Department? Suddenly remembering Xiao Tienu's words, he groaned slightly, and sneered: "Whether it is to abandon the Han Department and return to the Song Dynasty, or whether all this is a trick arranged by you, it is difficult to say!" ”

Zhi Yanchong said lightly: "Even if it's the latter, so what? Now that I am in your hands, it is difficult to save my own life, and I can still control my younger brothers? ”

Zong Wang said: "Whether you have remote control or not, you will know for a long time!" I won't say much to you today, but it will come to you again when it gets the truth! Hum! If you really have soldiers and horses in Bianliang City, at that time...... Hum! After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Pu Luhu palpitated and said: "Uncle, do we really have soldiers and horses in Bianliang?" ”

"Probably not." Zhi Yan said: "Ying Qi is very measured, so he won't be so good-looking. But the second brother is in the city, I'm afraid there will be a lot of **. ”

An Tahai said: "Uncle, seeing that Uncle Zongwang is so angry, I'm afraid that things are not good." ”

Orihiko said: "Don't be fooled by the superficial illusion! He was in a bad mood, and it was probably because the siege was not going well. The more he does not go well, the better the situation in our Han Department, and the better the situation in the Han Department, the safer we will be. Don't be afraid! ”

Antahai asked, "Then should we prepare?" ”

"Ready? How to prepare? Zhi Yanchong said lightly: "It's useless for us to do anything now." Don't worry, hold your breath. There's still a long way to go! ”
