In the early morning, Shaanxi, Yongxing Military Road, Qingjian City, an important town in the border area.

"The ancestors are above, the court has abandoned the land of the two rivers, and the people are struggling to make a living, and the water is in dire straits. The descendants of the unscrupulous world want to travel in all directions, contact the righteous people of the two rivers, and fight against the Jin people together. May the ancestors bless, Shifu will make meritorious contributions, kill the enemy to serve the country, and live up to the expectations of the ancestors!"

To restore the northland, relying on the Great Song Dynasty to move south is tantamount to a fool's dream, seeking skin with the tiger.

Li Shifu kowtowed in front of the spiritual seat, stood up, gently opened the door, and looked out secretly.

There was silence in the courtyard. He tiptoed into the backyard, and the young fair-skinned man who had been waiting here immediately greeted him.

"Yanai, you're ready, you can go."

"Be careful, don't let my dad know!"

The two led the horses, sneaked out the back door, stepped onto the horses, and headed all the way east.

In the study, after receiving the report from his subordinates, Li Yongqi put down the book in his hand, shook his head, and stood up.

"Since the Tang Dynasty, my Li family has inherited the hereditary inspection of the nine clans of Suwei and inherited the grace of the country. Now that the land of the two rivers has been ceded to the Jin people, it is really disturbing!"

The loyal servant next to him came up and said softly: "Outside the staff, the imperial court crosses to the south, and the two rivers are cut off, and there are three out of ten in China." The ancient road in Yanei is hot, both civil and military, and he can't see the suffering of the world, so instead of being sullen in the city, it is better to go out and have a good time. ”

Li Yongqi nodded and said softly: "The old man knew that he couldn't be idle and wanted to make a contribution, so he deliberately let him go." I hope the two of them have a safe journey and kill more thieves. ”

The son thinks very highly of himself, is resolute and brave, and dreams of the golden iron horse and conquers the world. Just give him a chance to explore and see if he can increase his knowledge.

The subordinate sighed: "Since Wang Song broke the thieves in Fuzhou, all the children of Shaanxi have been warm-hearted. Although Wang Song went to the immortals, there were quite a few people who joined the army in this northwest land. Yanei wants to emulate Wang Song, kill the enemy to serve the country, and achieve a legend. ”

Li Yongqi sighed: "Wang Song is a humble man, born from recklessness, loyal and righteous, born out of thin air, turning the tide of the tide, and reaching the heavens. Wu is comparable to Xiang Yu, Wen is better than Cao Zijian, it can really be said to be a miracle of my Great Song Dynasty. It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, otherwise, the Great Song Dynasty would not have been so ravaged by the Jurchens, so that the people were hungry and cold, and their lives were devastated!"

Li Yongqi shook his head. Thinking of the southward migration of the imperial court, I felt a chill in my heart inexplicably. Could it be that in the land of these two rivers, as well as the three states beyond the river, the imperial court really doesn't want it?

The king protects the land and the people and guards the community, why did the officials of the Great Song Dynasty also begin to ask for land and ask for help, seeking benefits and avoiding disadvantages?

Is this still the work of kings?

Qingjian City has been ravaged by wars repeatedly, and it has long been ruined, and the city walls are broken everywhere. Li Shifu and the others broke out of the wall, beat their horses forward, and galloped all the way along the east bank of Tuyan Water, until they left Qingjian City far behind, and then stopped.

"Zhang Qi, let's leave quietly, my father will definitely be sad, I am very uneasy."

Looking at the morning sun in the east of the world, Li Shifu had an inexplicable trace of sadness in his eyes.

In the first year of Jingkang, the Jin people committed Yan Road, and Li Shifu and Zhang Qi went out to inspect. The Jurchens stayed in the cave at night, and Li Shifu climbed the rope, climbed into the cave, killed two people, cut off their heads, got two good horses, and then cut off the hooves of other war horses.

The two of them beat their horses and left, and the Jurchens were furious, because the horses were injured, and they could only watch the two of them fly away.

This can be regarded as the boyhood of the two of them, a stroke of color.

"Yanai, I'll tell you the truth."

Zhang Qi wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked at the Yellow River rolling south, and said in a deep voice: "The staff has been staying in the study and has not gone out. He asked me to follow you, just because he was afraid that you would make a mistake. ”

Li Shifu's eyes were red, and the horsewhip pointed to the Yellow River ferry in the distance:

"Zhang Qi, let's get on the boat at the ferry and go all the way south. Li Cheng is the camp of the Loyal and Righteous Army, let's go there first, and then make plans. ”

When they arrived at the ferry on the bank of the Yellow River, the boatman hurriedly came up, led the horse, and headed all the way south, heading towards Hezhongfu.

On both sides of the Yellow River, there are refugees who have dragged their families south, and low shacks are everywhere. Along the Yellow River to the south, the corpses can be seen from time to time along the way, and some are floating in the Yellow River, or down the river, or stranded in the river bay, which is shocking and unbearable.

"The land in the river, the left and right royal capitals, the Yellow River comes north, the south of the Taihai River leans, the shape of the total water and land wins, and the complexion of the Yuguan River. I didn't expect it to be like this. Fanzi is really hateful and killable!"

Seeing Li Shifu sitting on the bow of the boat, with an indignant look, the boatman who was struggling to support the boat smiled bitterly and persuaded this Yanei.

"Little official, who said it wasn't. Since this time he went south, he has plagued Shaanxi and the land of two rivers, and the people have become even more miserable these days. ”

The boat boss sighed: "If it weren't for the prince Wang, I don't know what the land of these two rivers would be like!" Now that Wang Xianggong has gone to Hebei, the strong people in Hedong have begun to harm people again. ”

Li Shifu's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but stand up, and said loudly: "Boat boss, do you mean that Wang Xianggong is not dead?"

The ship's boss's swarthy upper body was covered in sweat. He picked up the rag on his shoulder, wiped the beads of sweat on his body, and said with a smile: "Little official, it seems that you don't go out often, and you don't know about this matter." Wang Xianggong naturally did not die, he went to Hebei, occupied the Daimyo's mansion, and continued to recruit troops and kill thieves. I don't believe you ask everyone on board. ”

A fat man dressed as a businessman, his face was covered with sweat, and he said loudly: "Little official, what the boat boss said is right, Wang Xianggong is indeed not dead. The villain just sold a batch of grain to Taiyuan City and Jiezhou, and the guards guarding the city told the villain that Wang Xianggong was fighting the enemy in Hebei, and the formation was quite big, and he killed the third prince of what kind of fan, which is terrible! ”

Li Shifu and Zhang Qi glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of excitement.

This Li Shifu is a famous anti-gold general in history, and later changed his name to Li Xianzhong, and he is known to the world and remains famous in history.

"Li Xianzhong was born and miraculous, made meritorious contributions to foreign lands, his father and son broke the family and martyred the country, recovered the Central Plains, slandered in the middle, and was repeatedly deposed, sad!"

This is what the history books say about him.

In the early years of Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, Li Xianzhong, who was strong in martial arts, was forced to become a gold man due to the loss of Yan'an Mansion. After the defeat of the Jin soldiers, the whole family was unfortunately killed, so they threw themselves into the Western Xia and borrowed troops to attack gold.

In the ninth year of Shaoxing (1140), Li Xianzhong defeated the Western Xia Iron Harrier Army, returned to the Southern Song Dynasty, and resisted the invasion of the Jin army several times. In the first year of Longxing (1163), during the Northern Expedition of Longxing, Li Xianzhong and Shao Hongyuan went out to capture Lingbi, Honger County and Suzhou. However, due to the discord between the two, Shao Hongyuan's troops could not advance, and Li Xianzhong was finally defeated by Fuli, making the Northern Expedition fail. After the depression ended.

Li Xianzhong's father, Li Yongqi, was also a loyal and righteous man, and repeatedly persuaded his son to go south to return to the Song Dynasty, but unfortunately after the defeat, the whole family was martyred.

Time has changed, the Yan'an Mansion guard has been replaced by Liu Guangshi, and Li Xianzhong's family has also gone to Qingjian City, and the trajectory of life has shifted.

Zhang Qi was excited, and said in a low voice: "Little official, it turned out that he came out just to try his luck, but now he knows that Wang Xianggong is in Hebei, so let's go to the Daimyo's Mansion."

Li Shifu nodded and said: "This time, I must follow the prince Wang, recover the lost land, kill the thieves, and make a career, otherwise I will never return home!"

In the hearts of young people, there is only distance. It is precisely because of ambition that life is a little brighter.

The two landed in Hedong County, fought horses all the way forward, looked at the city of Jianzhou from afar, and the sound of killing outside the north city shook the sky, and countless men with red scarves were attacking the city.

Both of them were shocked, and they reined in their horses

Look ahead.

"Yanai, it seems to be Fanzi's cavalry!"

Following Zhang Qi's point, smoke and dust were billowing in the south of the city, and countless Jurchen iron horsemen were attacking the south city. It seems that the Jin people want to take advantage of the melee outside the northern city to distract the defenders and capture the southern city in one go.

"Brethren, our reinforcements have arrived. Brethren join me in slaying ......"

Under the city wall, Wu Yuan, the bandit leader with a red scarf on his head, shouted loudly and summoned his subordinates to attack the city. Before the words fell, there was a "poof", and a feather arrow hit him in front of the door. Blood splattered, and Wu Yuan fell straight from his horse.

Li Shifu was dumbfounded, looked forward, and saw smoke and dust, several knights rode out, they drew their bows and arrows, and shot at the bandits besieging the city. At first a young knight had no arrows, and soon five or six bandits were dismounted.

"Zhang Qi, this person looks familiar, as if it is Liu Qi of Xihejun."

Most of these officers in the Western Army were from families, and they often fought together and were familiar with each other.

Zhang Qi smacked his tongue and said, "How did Liu Qi get here, shouldn't he be in his brother's army?"

"Since it's Uncle Liu Xin, we can't stand idly by!"

Li Shifu took off his bow and arrows, rode out, and stepped forward with Zhang Qi, shouting loudly: "Brother Liu, don't come unharmed." You and my brother kill the thief together, do you think it's okay?"

Seeing that the bandits were coming forward one after another, Li Shifu and Zhang Qiyu fired arrows together, then took off the spears on their horses and rode towards several bandit leaders.

Caught off guard, the two bandit leaders were shot by feathered arrows and fell straight off their horses. The rest were violent, brandishing knives and guns, beating horses and running straight to the oncoming Li Shifu and the two.

Liu Qi looked carefully, his blood was gushing, he hit the horse and galloped up, laughing and said: "Brother Li, how can you kill a thief without me Liu Jiu!"

Liu Qi's master and servant were mixed with Li Shifu, and several of them fought side by side and fought with the other party's bandits.

"Brother Liu, I didn't expect you to be here. Today, the two of us are dead in battle, and with you Liu Jiu by your side, we are also worth it. ”

Liu Qi laughed and said, "Okay, if you can do something happy with your two brothers today, you will also die a well-deserved death."

He left in a bad mood, traveled all the way east, and when he arrived at the Yellow River, he learned that Wang Song was not dead, and it happened that the Red Turban Army incorporated by the Jurchens besieged Jiezhou, and he couldn't control it, so he stepped forward to help.

"Brother Liu, it seems that you also know that Wang Xianggong is not dead, otherwise you would not have come to the east of this river!"

"Brother, I also learned about it by chance. Brother, Wang Xianggong set up a Juxian Pavilion in Hebei to recruit talents, let's go and vote for him together, what do you think?"

"Everything is up to my brother, let's kill these bandits first!"

There were countless bandits killed by the crowd, and when they saw more and more bandits, they couldn't help but be secretly anxious. Wouldn't it be that he hadn't seen Wang Song yet, and he had met Hades first.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The feathered arrows galloped, and the bandits around several people fell off their horses one by one. Countless smoking lumps of iron were thrown over, and a large pile of bandits was shrouded in smoke.

On the field outside the northern city, the dense red turban sergeants saw hundreds of bandit leaders suffering heavy casualties and blurred flesh and blood, and they were all dumbfounded, standing in place with knives and guns in their hands, but they were at a loss.

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

Liu Qi and Li Shifu looked forward, and countless ironclad knights of the Song army rushed over to drown all the bandits outside the city.

A man in his thirties with a thin face in iron armor, surrounded by a group of knights, came slowly beating horses and stopped in front of several people.

"A couple of brothers good means. Wang Xiangcheng is recruiting troops and horses in Hebei to fight against the gold thieves, how about you go to join the loyal and righteous army together?"

Several people were overjoyed, and they hugged their fists together and said, "Thank you, General."
