A man and a woman came from south to north, and when they dismounted, the knights stepped forward, and a heroic female general in front of them asked.

"May I ask if it is the loyal army of the prince of the king, please lead the way and introduce us to us."

The heroic female general is called Zhi Yuezhi, who is the daughter of Zhe Keqiu's late brother Zhi Keshi, and together with several children of the Zhe family, she helped Yang Zongmin, the governor of Linzhou, to defend Linzhou City, and fought with the Jurchens for several months, both sides suffered casualties and heavy losses.

Another young general is the son of Zhi Keqiu, Zhi Yanye, who, like his cousin Zhi Yuezhi, helps to guard Linzhou.

Wang Song turned his head and asked Zhi Yuezhi, "General Zhe, do you know which Jurchen army is stationed near this Linzhou City?"

Zheyuezhi's face turned red inexplicably, and she hurriedly replied.

"Wang Xianggong, the Jurchen army stationed nearby, there is the Hulu Department of Langan Fort, there are as many as five or six thousand people, half of Fanzi and half of Han'er. The same is true of Jingqiang Village, and the other fortresses are all stationed by Han'er! ”

Zhi Yanye added on the side: "Wang Xianggong, what the ninth sister said is good!" Look at the dead and wounded Jin soldiers and banners on this ground, they should be the subordinates of Gan Fort Hulu. ”

At this time, Wanyan Lou's room attacked Fugu with all his might, and the Linzhou army wanted to save Fugu, but was blocked back by Hulu and Ci. The two sides fought frequently, because the two were quite familiar with the Hulu army.

"To the north of Langan Fort, has Fanzi sent troops to station?"

"Xianggong, the Chinese army of the Zhang Heng brothers has arrived at Zhenchuan Fort and is now stationed there, and the fortress between Linzhou Mansion and Fuzhou Prefecture has been controlled by our army."

Wang Song breathed a sigh of relief. Now I don't know the situation in Fuzhou, and if I arrive sooner, Fuzhou will be out of danger one step earlier, and it can't be delayed.

"Zhai Er led 3,000 heavy troops to defend Linzhou City. I led the army to go all out, and strive to kill and injure the Jurchens as much as possible, and solve the crisis in Fuzhou!"

Wang Song ignored Ma Kuo's hints, but said loudly to the Zhe brothers and sisters on the side.

Zhi Yuezhi was moved in her heart, the loyal and righteous army worked tirelessly, not afraid of casualties, but it was to save the soldiers and civilians of Fuzhou Hecheng.

"Wang Xianggong, the last general is a native of the local, he is quite familiar with the terrain here, and the last general is willing to lead the way for the army, and I hope that the king will allow it."

Wang Song was overjoyed, nodded and said, "It is naturally the best to have General Zhe lead the way!"

Zhi Yanye wanted to stop it, but when he saw the ninth sister looking at Wang Song's hot eyes, he couldn't help but feel sour.

Soon after the ninth sister got married, her husband died on the battlefield of the anti-summer war, and she has been a widow for several years. The children of the Fugu family, whether male or female, are involuntary and can't choose too much.

The war is about to break out, life and death are uncertain, and there is no tomorrow after today, so let her do something she likes, at least feel better.

Ma Kuo couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. At this time, it was more difficult to persuade Wang Song to withdraw his troops than to ascend to the sky, and he really couldn't open this mouth.

The army entered Linzhou City, and Yang Zongmin, the governor of Linzhou, was also overjoyed, and hurriedly arranged to make a fire to cook. The old general is full of heroes, two years ago, his son and two grandsons died on the battlefield of the anti-summer war, Wang Song and others are also admired.

In the pouring rain, Wang Song stood motionless in front of the window, looking at the dark night.

The guards on both sides of the door stood solemnly, silent in the wind and rain, silently enduring the cold outside.

The door was pushed open with a "squeak", and Dong Ping, Ma Kuo, Yang Jin, Niu Gao, Yang Zaixing, Li Xiaochun, Xu Hu, and Zhai Er walked in one after another.

"You're all here, let's all sit down!"

Wang Song turned his head, but everyone was standing in the room, you look at me, I look at you, everyone hung their heads and said nothing, but no one sat down.

"Daguan, let's stay in Linzhou, don't go north."

After a long time, Dong Ping broke the silence.

"Oh, Ma Xuanzan, Yang Jin, Xu Hu, Second Brother Zhai, do you mean the same thing?"

Wang Song nodded slightly, returned to the table and sat down, and poured himself a cup of hot water.

The mouth of the bowl was a little broken, and there was even a faint crack in the bowl body, Wang Song picked up the water bowl and drank it all.

"Xianggong, the baggage army guards Linzhou, Zhang Heng is stuck in the north-south traffic, if the army goes north, there are only more than 10,000 people. No matter how brave and good our army is, they are always outnumbered in the face of an enemy army several times larger than ours. Think twice!"

Ma Kuo walked out, speaking earnestly and sincerely.

"Xianggong, what Ma Xuanzan said is very true! Fanzi soldiers are strong and strong, several times larger than me, and it may not be easy to win. Xiang Gong is already a thorn in the flesh of those traitorous ministers in the court, if the army is defeated, I am afraid that Xiang Gong will be greatly disadvantaged! ”

Niu Gao said in a low voice, looking at Wang Song's face cautiously.

Wang Song nodded lightly and looked at the others in the room.

"Yang Jin, Xu Hu, Li Xiaochun, what do you mean?"

Yang Jin and Xu Hu glanced at each other, stepped forward together, Yang Jin hugged his fists and said: "The villain obeys the military order of the prime minister." The prince gave an order, and the villain obeyed the order!"

Xu Hu and Li Xiaochun stepped forward together and bowed: "The villain is only the prime minister!"

Wang Song nodded, and looked at Zhai Er, who was uneasy.

"Second Brother Zhai, is it advancing or retreating, what do you think?"

Zhai Er's face was red, and he said:

"Erlang, the court is sinister, you have to know how to protect yourself. However, whether it is advance or retreat, I will listen to your military orders!"

Dong Ping came up again and said hurriedly: "Xianggong, you are now difficult to protect yourself, the crown prince has not sent reinforcements, and he is already Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it." If you forcibly go north and defeat Fuzhou, you will definitely be criticized and punished, not to mention that you will be seized of military power, I am afraid that you will be connected to all the soldiers and soldiers, and the loyal and righteous army will also collapse. Think twice before you act! ”

Ma Kuo stepped forward and bowed: "Xianggong, when the judgment continues, it will be chaotic, and it is still too late to withdraw at this time." You have to be careful! ”

Yang Zaixing shook his head and said, "Having said that, but where are we going, we can't do the opposite, right?"

Everyone was shocked, and their faces turned red, obviously shocked.

Wang Song put down the water bowl, stood up, and passed in front of the generals one by one, patting the generals on the shoulders of each person he passed.

"Brothers, I know everyone's thoughts, to get to this situation, to tell the truth, my heart is very uncomfortable, it can be said that it is cold."

Wang Song's heart was sour, his mouth was bitter, and many words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it.

He worked hard to create the Loyal and Righteous Army, the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army has been taken over by the imperial court, and the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army has been so constrained, Qin Hui, Zhang Jun, plus a loyal Zhang Shuye to the imperial court, he wants to recover the lost land, recreate the Han and Tang Dynasty heroes, it can really be said that it is a fool's dream.

He led his troops to the north, rescued Fuzhou, and devoted himself to the public, but these people did not leave their troops behind, not to mention his death, and put 20,000 troops in danger.

Now that Fuzhou is in danger, and the people of the three states outside the river are in dire straits, will he save it or not?

"Thinking that my loyal army has sacrificed countless sacrifices for the country and the people, and I have to be so constrained and treated like this, my heart is like a knife, and my heart is disheartened!"

Wang Song sighed dejectedly, turned around and sat down on the stool.

"Brothers, having said that, we still have to save this prefecture, and it is urgent and cannot be delayed."

Wang Song's tone was gentle, not slow, and he couldn't see any anger or irritation in him.

"Xianggong, the matter has come to this, and it cannot be forced. Under the nest, there are no eggs. Once something happens to the Xianggong, the loyal and righteous army will be doomed, and where will the brothers go! ”

Dong Ping was shocked and stepped forward to beg bitterly.

Ma Kuo also said solemnly: "Xianggong, go north to Fuzhou, our army is more than nine times out of ten. Xiang Gong is responsible for the world's anti-gold struggle, and he cannot risk himself. If you have to go north, Xianggong will sit in Fuzhou, and the villain is willing to lead the troops!"

Dong Ping and the others also spoke one after another, their faces turned red, and everyone didn't want Wang Song to go on an adventure.

Wang Song was moved in his heart, stood up, and shook himself to the end in front of the generals.

"Brothers, I, Wang Song, am here, thank you for your kindness."

Everyone returned the salute together and shouted together: "Think twice!"

Zheyuezhi took a large bowl of stewed mutton and walked to Wang Song's door, ready to go in, but was attracted by the sound of conversation inside.

"I am a loyal soldier of the righteous army, what is the purpose of raising the army, not for any court, not for any official family, but for the people of the world, and for the long-term peace and stability of my Song people."

Wang Song said heart-wrenching words to the surrounding generals.

"Let's not save Fuzhou, let Fanzi do evil, let's not talk about how the world thinks of us, the people are killed, the women are ruined, and the three states outside the river are turned to ashes, is this what you want? Do you have the patience to watch the people who hide in the ditches eat human flesh every day? ”

He pointed outside, his voice getting louder.

"Are the lives of more than 100 brothers in my scout camp thrown away in vain? You and I are both soldiers, and it is a responsibility given by God to protect our families and defend the country, and no one can back down! Brothers, on behalf of the people of the world, thank you, brothers!"

Wang Song got up and saluted, and Ma Kuo and others hurriedly returned the salute. Everyone in the house was moved.

"Xianggong, what you said is extremely true, but this trip to Fuzhou, let the villain go, Xianggong can sit in Linzhou. The Loyal Army can do without villains, but it can't be without Xianggong!"

Dong Ping stepped forward to persuade, but he still didn't give up.

"Dong Ping, you went out on my behalf, maybe you ordered the three armies? This is a vicious battle, and without me, I am afraid that it will affect the morale of the army and be detrimental to the war. ”

Ma Kuo shook his head helplessly. The bitter words of the generals did not make Wang Song change his mind, but he felt tears in his eyes.

It seems that this time the bitter admonition has been in vain.

"Brothers, go down to appease the army, hurry up and rest, let's leave overnight and fight to the death with Fanzi!"

Outside the door, Zhiyuezhi heard that the plan of the Loyal and Righteous Army to rescue Fuzhou remained unchanged, and Wang Song also went in person, and his heart was relieved, and a little moved rose in his heart.

The world only knows the icing on the cake, and that is charcoal in the snow. Wang Songzhong is brave and selfless, how can there be such a man in the world?

In the darkness of the night, groups of loyal soldiers marched forward in the heavy rain. The torrential rain was like a note, and the roads were muddy and difficult to walk on in the rainy night, and the loyal soldiers were all blue noses and swollen faces, and they were miserable. It was freezing cold, and they couldn't light torches in heavy rain, so the soldiers were drenched in heavy rain, but they could only rush in the dark at night.

The torrential rain delayed the march of the loyal army, and the fifty-mile hills and ravines took two hours. Although it took a little longer, the darkness and heavy rain also covered the whereabouts of the loyal army.

When he arrived at Zhenchuan Fort, Wang Song told Zhang Heng to cut off the north-south traffic, and he led the soldiers to continue to the north.

At the fifth watch, the loyal army finally reached Shanliang, and the heavy rain finally stopped. Wang Song saw that the soldiers were tired and shivering with cold, so he ordered to rest in the ravine, and launched an attack as soon as it was dawn.

The weather was cold, the loyal soldiers were silent, there was no sound, no one complained of distress, like a ghost in the dark, Zhi Yuezhi couldn't help but secretly feel that he was afraid that the elite of the Western Army would be much worse!

Seeing that the tip of Zhiyuezhi's nose beside him was red, her pretty face was bruised, and her white air was full of gas, obviously she was not lightly frozen, Wang Song took off her cloak and handed it to her.

Zheyuezhi's heart was hot, and she didn't refuse, she draped it around her neck, and her face became ruddy, I don't know if it was hot or ashamed......
