In the south of Xianzhou City, on the west bank of the Fen River, under the embankment, in a dense grass, more than a dozen young men in short clothes leaned down and looked at the river.

A boat rowed from south to north, dozens of gold soldiers on board were sweating profusely, their clothes were untidy, and everyone was exhausted and weak.

Seeing Xianzhou City in the distance, Jin Bing finally relaxed.

With a "whoosh", a feathered arrow whistled, and a golden soldier at the bow of the ship was shot through the throat, and fell straight backwards, falling into the water with a "poof", splashing a wave.

A dozen men in the grass stood up together, running towards the shore as they fired arrows. The golden soldiers at the bow of the boat fell one after another, the rowers were also shot overturned, and the unsteered boat whirled, drifted down the river for twenty or thirty meters, and docked on the west bank.

The men hurried forward, came to the side of the boat, stretched out their bows and arrows, and aimed their swords and guns at the remaining two or three golden soldiers on the ship.

"Don't kill us, spare your lives!"

The surviving Jin soldiers were frightened, knelt down together, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Are you the Righteous Victors?"

The leading man stepped forward and shouted angrily, "Why are you here?"

"The loyal army broke through Taiyuan City, and a few of us escaped overnight and found a search ship......"

The men were all stunned, and the young man in the lead was taken aback, stepped forward, and the steel knife was on the neck of a golden soldier.

"You are telling the truth, did Wang Xianggong really lead the army to conquer Taiyuan?"

"It's true! The Song army collapsed the city wall of Taiyuan and broke the city overnight, Yinshuke led the cavalry to withdraw from the north gate, and we, the Han army, escaped from the west gate......"

"Zhehu, what do you say?"

After a pause, a man next to him asked the leading man.

Zhehu frowned, raised his hand and fell, and cut down the golden soldier in front of him. The other men raised their swords and guns at the same time, and the remaining few golden soldiers soon fell in a pool of blood.

"Let's go back to Lanzhou to find the housewife and the little lady first, and then go to Fuzhou to report the matter to the Prime Minister."

Everyone crossed the river beam, came to the depths of the grass and trees, stepped on the war horses, and went north one after another, all the way to the shore of the Lan River.

Before arriving at the ferry, everyone who had planned to cross the river was dumbfounded when they looked at the Jurchen army on the other side of the river, which was shining and boundless, heading west from the dragon.

The sound of trumpets comes and goes, all kinds of flags are unfurled, swords and guns are like forests, knights are full of ambition, like a wall to advance, the golden soldiers and cavalry are in a large array one after another, the momentum is huge, covering the sky and the sun, covering the entire other side of the river.

Looking at their whereabouts, they are going straight to Lanzhou, so the next step must be the three states outside the river.

"Zhehu, what can I do?"

More than a dozen men hid in hidden places, all of them were as earth-colored, and everyone was terrified. With so many golden soldiers, it is enough to fight a battle to destroy the country.

"Fanzi is definitely not attacking Western Xia, but can only deal with the Zhejia army."

Zhehu was also uncertain, and he made a decision after a little groaning.

With the strength of the Zhejia army, it seems that it is not easy to deal with so many Jurchen troops. Now only by going to Wang Song for help, it seems that the Zhejia army can escape the catastrophe.

Moreover, with the friendship between Zheyuexiu and Wang Song, he will definitely come to the rescue.

"A few of you went all the way west, avoiding the Jurchen army, and went straight to Fuzhou. The Jurchen army is coming, and the little lady and the mistress will definitely withdraw to Fuzhou. ”

He said in a deep voice: "I went to Taiyuan to find Wang Xianggong and asked him to send troops to rescue." Now only Wang Xianggong can save the army. ”

A man shook his head and said: "The prince has the right to command the army, but the mobilization of the army must have the will of the imperial court, and I don't know if it can catch up?"

Someone sighed and said: "It would be nice if the little lady and Wang Xianggong were together, and Wang Xianggong would definitely lead troops to rescue."

Zhehu is also helpless, and now he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, it depends on whether the imperial court is willing to send troops north.

On the city wall of Taiyuan, Wang Song looked north, and the mountains were undulating, all in the bottom of his eyes.

Ma Kuo said: "Xianggong, the army has recovered Shiling Pass, what will our army do next?"

In the first battle of Taiyuan, Wanyan Yinshuke's subordinates lost more than half, suffered heavy casualties, and had to retreat to Yizhou. The loyal and righteous army swept everywhere, and the righteous army in various places also responded, and the Jin soldiers in the surrounding states and counties were already weak, or defeated or surrendered or fled, and the south of Taiyuan soon fell under the control of the loyal and righteous army.

The south of Taiyuan has been pacified, and it is natural to head north, or to Shaanxi and Hebei on both sides.

"Have the scouts returned?"

"When the spies got the news back, the Jin people deployed heavy troops along the areas of Xinzhou, Xianzhou, and Lanzhou, and the spies saw that the mountains were steep and insurmountable, so they all retreated back."

Wang Song nodded. The scouts are all elites in the army, and of course they will judge the situation and will not recklessly give their lives.

However, the unknown movement of Wanyan Lou's army has always made him uneasy.

Ma Kuo made a look, and Lin Feng stepped forward and said: "Xianggong, with the villain's plan, our army should capture the Pingding Army and Jingcheng, restore the connection between Hedong and Hebei, and then slowly map it."

Wang Song nodded, Hedong and Hebei are connected, and the two armies of the Loyal and Righteous Army are gathered, and their strength cannot be underestimated, even if the Jurchen soldiers are pressing, the Loyal and Righteous Army can completely deal with it.

Zhang Xian frowned and said: "Xianggong, if the Jin people attack Shaanxi, and the Jurchen god of war Wanyan Lou Room conquers the city in Guanzhong, I am afraid that the three states outside the river will not be protected, and Shaanxi will also be eroded by the Jin people." Xianggong is still the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi, if he can enter Shaanxi west, he will finish Yan Lou's room. I'm very lucky!"

After Yan Lou's room, the god of war, Wang Song couldn't help but sneer. It was the rotten Northern Song Dynasty paper paste army that attacked, and there were also shameless people who even named it the "God of War"!

There are many heroes in China, and those who are as strong as Qin Zhibai have this unwritten title. Han Xin in the early Han Dynasty, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty, and Yue Fei in the Southern Song Dynasty, none of these people is a hundred times stronger than Wanyan Lou, but they do not have the title of "God of War", I don't know where this person's nickname comes from.

When there is no hero, make the shaft famous!

Wang Song snorted coldly and fell into deep thought.

What Ma Kuo and Zhang Xian said is reasonable, whether it is westward or eastward, it is the territory of the occupied area, but they just have priorities.

"Over there in Zhongshan Mansion, what is the situation now, is there any military report coming?"

Wang Song remembered the fall of Zhongshan Mansion in history, as if it was in the Jingkang period, and couldn't help but worry about it.

"Tell the public, Zhongshan Mansion is working hard to support, but the grain road is cut off, I'm afraid something is not good."

Ma Kuo replied: "Since the second year of Jingkang, the imperial court has continuously sent reinforcements, and Zhongshan Mansion has not fallen. Now that the army of Jinren East Road is besieging Zhongshan Mansion, it will be difficult to last for a long time!"

"The next military order is given to Yue Fei, let him wait for the opportunity to reinforce Zhongshan Mansion!"

Wang Song couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. What is the situation of the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army, and why has there been no military report?

"Xianggong, you will be in the middle of the palace, I'm afraid that Yue's system will not be spared, you still play the last one, and play it in the saint."

Chen Dong shook his head and said: "The imperial court let Yue Tong slowly go north, and slowly figure it out, how can Yue Tong obey the generals of Xiang Gong." Now they can only pin their hopes on the Taiyuan fiasco, and the Jin people are shocked and naturally retreat. After all, Hebei was not all under the rule of the Jin people, and it was not wise for Xingshi to besiege a Zhongshan Mansion with no money and no food, and the laborers were short of food. ”

Wang Song was speechless for a while. The army has just been trained, and the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army is no longer under his command, so what is the use of him as the Xuanfu envoy of Lianghe and Shaanxi?

"Xianggong doesn't need to worry, this is exactly what I am trapped."

Ma Kuo said in a deep voice: "The king and the scholars rule the world together, even after experiencing the siege of Tokyo City, the court is still peaceful. Xiang Gong has an army of 60,000 or 70,000, isn't the imperial court afraid of martial arts power?"

"What Ma Xuanzan said is good!"

Chen Dong praised and said: "It is rare for the Xianggong to be able to be friendly to the army and crisscross the battlefield. Since the Xuanhe period, the imperial court has sent troops all over the time, which time there is no restraint from the civil ministers, and which time is not the command of the civil ministers and eunuchs. When the documents of the prime minister arrive at the imperial court, I am afraid that the future will be even more difficult!"

He is an official, and he has been in Tokyo for a long time, so he knows everything about the court, and the pros and cons are naturally transparent.

Wang Song's military achievements are outstanding, and the DPRK and China are probably already in turmoil, waiting to put shackles on this prime minister and restrain him.

Although the court of the Great Song Dynasty was exempted from the disaster of breaking the country, there was still an undercurrent surging in the court, various forces were fighting openly and secretly, and the court affairs were chaotic.

The official Zhao Huan, the Emperor Zhao Ji, and even the King of Yun Zhao Kai and the King of Kang Zhao Gou each have a group of supporters. Especially Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji, although Zhao Ji made a mess of the Great Song Dynasty, there were a large number of followers beside him.

And Zhao Huan, indecisive, changeable and suspicious, is much more politically immature than his father, who has been in power for many years.

The sergeants and doctors of the DPRK, many incorruptible and shameless people, these people are in a mess in political affairs and military affairs, but they are invincible when they see the wind and steer the rudder, fan the flames, and intrigue and fight.

Once these petty people run around, they will cause chaos in the government and the worries of the Great Song Dynasty, which makes people sigh.

Ouyang Che frowned and said, "Now that Mr. Liang Xi is in the court, I hope he can change the decline of the court." Xianggong's life is also better. ”

"Mr. Liang Xi is a pillar of the country, loyal and pure, and with him in the court, he can also suppress the voices of those lords and factions."

Chen Dong also nodded and said: "No matter where the Xianggong soldiers point to, they must go to the imperial court, so as not to make trouble for those who have a heart and miss the Xianggong's plan to resist Jin."

Not long after Wang Song left the capital with his troops, Li Gang had already returned to the court, serving as a scholar of the senior government palace and leading the Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and controlling the government of the court.

The system of the Great Song Dynasty, the vertical arch hall was subject to the court, the first minister ascended to the palace, the second privy envoy, the second three divisions, the second Kaifeng Mansion, the second trial and punishment court, the second minister, and the second promotion hall. This shows the power of Kaifeng Mansion Yin.

Chen Dong and Ouyang Che are both supporters of Li Gang, especially Chen Dong, who has a close relationship with Li Gang and respects him.

"Two gentlemen, don't forget, Li Gang is also a Wenchen, and he is the head of the clear stream."

Ma Kuo shook his head and said: "Whether it is the main peace faction or the main battle faction, the idea of the scholar to govern the country cannot be changed. If Li Gang was really capable, he would not have served as the envoy of the two rivers and rescued Taiyuan, and the armies of all walks of life would be wiped out. ”

Wang Song was happy in his heart. Li Gang, an important minister of the imperial court and the head of the Qingliu, and Ma Kuo, who is arrogant by nature, are also not eye-catching.

Chen Dong and Ouyang Che wanted to refute, but the words came to their lips, but they swallowed them back.

Ma Kuo is Wang Song's confidant, and Wang Song's contempt for the sergeant doctor can also be felt by the two of them from his words.

The two are Wang Song's staff, so naturally they can't always follow the coach. Looking at the court, except for Wang Song, who can fight against the Jin people, it works.

As Ma Kuo said, in addition to being loyal to the king, Li Gang is obviously also a layman in marching and fighting.

Wang Song's brows furrowed. The Taiyuan victory was just the beginning, but the army had to stay, otherwise, the imperial court would have to look to the left and talk about other things.
