On the big river, there are countless sailboats, on the south bank of the river, countless simple shacks can be seen everywhere, and after starving to death and freezing to death, the refugees on the south bank of the Yellow River finally ushered in a warm spring.

Dong Fu climbed out of the shack, wrapped his torn jacket tightly, the spring was cold, and it was still unusually cold in the morning, he came to the river, found a place where no one was, and began to release water wantonly.

The army of the imperial court is still quite competitive, Fanzi finally did not fight the Yellow River, the spring flowers are blooming, and he has to find a livelihood, and he can't keep fighting around the military camp at this ferry.

Luoyang City is good, I heard that the government is already recruiting people for spring ploughing, and it is also in charge of rations, what's the matter, it is better than waiting for death at this ferry.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves in the distance came, Dong Fu couldn't help but raise his head, only to see smoke and dust rising in the distance, and in the flying flags, countless iron horses rolled towards the ferry.

"Officers and soldiers?"

Dong Fu was taken aback, hurriedly fastened his pants, leaned down, and looked in the direction where the smoke and dust came from in the distance.

When the cavalry of the brigade got closer, Dong Fu could see clearly, and under the flying flag, the word "Wang" on it was impressive.

No need to ask, this is the loyal army under Wang Tiegun's subordinates.

"Folks, come and see, Wang Xianggong is going to cross the river to the north!"

In the shacks, large and small, unkempt refugees came out one after another, huddled together, and ran towards the official road.

"Dong Ping, you said that we should go north, Xuanfu Lianghe and Shaanxi, this first step, where should we go?"

Surrounded by all the troops, Wang Song immediately on the south bank of the Yellow River, Yiran has the pleasure of flying birds out of the cage, facing the surging and roaring river, drinking the pride of the Yellow River is full of chest.

Those scholars and doctors in the court, all of them have ill intentions, and want to expel him, a martial artist, from the center, don't they know that in his opinion, leading the troops outside, but Jiaolong goes to sea, which is much more refreshing.

"Big officials, where to go or not, it's all up to the big officials to make their own decisions, anyway, the land of these two rivers is rotten."

Hearing Wang Song's question, Dong Ping also laughed loudly:

"However, our army has 2,000 cavalry, most of them are horses, and the top priority is to recruit troops.

"Brother Wang Lun, in your opinion, if you want to recruit soldiers, what should you do?"

Wang Lun looked at Wang Lun, who was dressed in white and sitting on the horse and seemed to be thoughtful, and continued to ask.

"What the Dong Ping brothers said is very true. However, compared with Hedong, there are many anti-Jin righteous divisions in Hebei, and the big cities such as Daimyo Mansion and Xiangzhou have not yet fallen, and Hebei has a large population, and it is imperative for Hebei to recruit troops. ”

"What Brother Wang Lun saw coincided with me."

Wang Song nodded. When it comes to his current account, Wang Lun can be regarded as the first choice in terms of military and political affairs. It's just that he always felt that Wang Lun seemed to be more enthusiastic in government affairs than in military affairs.

Sure enough, as if to prove his argument, Wang Lun continued.

"The army is dispatched, the people take food as the sky, no matter when and where, grain and grass are fundamental, therefore, military affairs must be destroyed, and government affairs must also be preached and educated, and the two-pronged approach is the king's way."

"So how should this Hebei land be deployed?"

While bowing his head in admiration, Wang Song continued to ask.

"In the land of Hebei, although the Daimyo's Mansion is a barrier to the north and an important military town, there are many Jin people around, and they are also very poisoned. In the villain's opinion, Mo Ruo chose a place close to Taihang Mountain to recruit troops, and sent people to inform the cottages of Taihang Mountain, such a big thing can be done. ”

As if to cheer up Wang Song, Wang Lun smiled.

"Xianggong doesn't need to worry, as long as Xianggong comes forward to recruit troops, the three words "Wang Tiegun" are the guarantee of successful recruitment. ”

The generals around laughed, everyone was full of ambition, and they all took it for granted to recruit troops to resist the enemy.

Looking at both sides of the river, all roads in the world, the most popular is this prince and princess.

Born out of nowhere, turning the tide of the tide, supporting the general of the building, giving hope to the struggling people of the Great Song Dynasty, no one has more appeal to recruit soldiers than Wang Song.

With Wang Song's ability to train soldiers, with the vast land of the Great Song Dynasty and a large population, training a new soldier is not easy to take from the bag.

At this moment, everyone's mood is joyful, and they are also full of hope for the future.

"Zezhou is the gateway to Hedong, and if you want to enter Hedong, you have to break Zezhou first. Zezhou, the nitrate of Jinju, the charcoal and iron of Longdeokfu, and the salt relief of the Yongxing army, the loyal and righteous army must recruit soldiers, although the money and grain are allocated by the imperial court, but the bereavement reward must have a private treasury. ”

Carbon iron can be used to make weapons and armor, daily use, as long as it is sold along the canal to Lianghuai, or transported west to Shaanxi, Shudi, it is the silver of white flowers.

There is also the salt solution, which is the daily needs of the people, if they get the salt solution, how can they be troubled by the silver.

Wang Haoran nodded frequently, these historical elites, they have traveled all over the world and are well-informed, so they can naturally realize the importance of silver.

Salt and iron taxes, with this silver, not only the armor, weapons and firearms of the military are safe, but also may be handed over to the imperial court, the people are appeased, and the people's livelihood is improved.

Although the imperial court provided salaries and silver, a large number of firearms, armor and weapons of the loyal and righteous army had to be built by themselves. A piece of armor generally costs thirty or forty taels of silver, and 10,000 pairs of three or four hundred thousand taels.

There are also rewards and pensions, firearms casting, and the amount of silver required is unknown, in the final analysis, it has to rely on the loyal and righteous soldiers themselves.

And to appease the people and stabilize the place, it is necessary to camp the fields, to put it bluntly, the people can farm with peace of mind and eat their stomachs.

"Brothers, this war, the fight is a "money" word, a "potential" word, with money, rewards and punishments, the soldiers will use their lives, fight more victories, attack all, invincible, this is the potential, rich and powerful, you can defeat Fanzi and restore the two rivers!"

Zhang Heng was impassioned and high-spirited, which made Wang Song happy, it turned out that this is the origin of the words "rich and powerful".

However, the words "clear rewards and punishments" and "military orders are like mountains" are the foundation of an iron army.

"Xianggong, you said that if you train the soldiers well, let's fight Hedong or Hebei first?"

Dong Ping's words immediately provoked a warm response from the surrounding generals.

"Of course it's the three towns, it's obvious that the three towns are burning, killing and looting, and the three towns are all gone!"

"Wanyan Zonghan's army on the Western Road is the most brutal, according to me, they should be destroyed first!"

"It's better to restore Hebei first, there are many people in Hebei, save more people first!"

Everyone's chatter was in Wang Song's ears, and he just smiled slightly, and the military heart was available, indicating a good omen.

"When the soldiers are trained, this first battle, we have to defeat Taiyuan, my Great Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians, there is too much blood there!"

At the mention of Taiyuan, everyone's expressions became solemn, and their voices quieted down.

At the beginning of the first year of Jingkang, the rescue of Taiyuan troops was not coordinated with each other, and the tactics of adding oil were broken by the Wanyan Zonghan West Route Army, and tens of thousands of divisions were lost, and Taiyuan City became an isolated city.

In September of the first year of Jingkang, the Jin army gathered troops to attack Taiyuan City, Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Yu, the deputy governor of the capital, led the army to hold on, and repelled the Jin army's attacks many times. Wang Yu's father and son were martyred, Zhang Xiaochun was captured, Taiyuan City was finally broken by the Jin army, and the people of Taiyuan City were slaughtered.

The past is not as good as smoke, the Taiyuan war, only a little more than a year has passed, most of the loyal and righteous army are Hedong children, this battle is naturally unforgettable.

"What the big officials said is that this first battle is to conquer Taiyuan!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Conquer Taiyuan and avenge the dead brothers and people!"

"Avenge the death of the people in Taiyuan City!"

The knights all shouted loudly, and all of them were flushed with righteous indignation.

Suddenly, a war horse seemed to be unable to support the pressure of the knight on its body, and fell down with a scream, and everyone was startled at first, and then laughed.

Wang Lun shook his head, it sounded like two thousand cavalry, I don't know how many skinny and skinny people in the middle, they can really catch up with the "donkey".

Wang Song looked left and right, and said loudly: "Brothers, don't complain, compared with the suffering people of Lianghe, we are already immortals!"

"If you want the horse to grab it yourself, there are many in Taiyuan City, there are tens of thousands of horses, don't complain like a woman here!"

Wang Song snorted coldly, those idiots in Tokyo City think that they can turn all beings upside down by doing some tricks and feet on horses, wash and sleep!

The general of the garrison at the ferry respectfully came up and said that the boats were ready by the ferry to send the army across the river. The troops rushed onto the boat, and Wang Song stood at the bow of the boat and looked back.

The sergeants and refugees stood in the wasteland around the shacks and ferries, waving and shouting loudly.

"Wang Xianggong, you must kill the thieves!"

"Xianggong Wang, take care!"

"Loyal and righteous army, drive Fanzi out of Hedong!"

Tianjing Pass, also known as Xiongding Pass. It is the Xiongguan on the border of Hedong and Henan, and is located in the territory of Jincheng, Zezhou, Hedong Road, the southernmost part of the Taihang Mountains, which is the pass leading to Hedong Road in Henan Province, and is known as "one of the eight paths of Taihang" in history.

Tianjing Pass is the north and south to rush, the steep of Chi Taihang, enter the high pass of Tianjing, go north from Henan Mansion, along the Danshui, pass Wanshan Town, cross Taihang Cheng, is Tianjing Pass.

Wang Song and others went all the way north, and since entering Taihang, they were surrounded by the ancient sheep intestine road along the way.

Originally, there was a Xingyi town in the south of Tianjing Pass, which was the same as Tianjing Pass, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the present, there were many battles, and the smoke of gunpowder did not disperse, and it was a place for soldiers to fight.

In October of the first year of Jingkang, when the Jin soldiers went south, the Jurchen clan conquered Tianjing Pass, and Xingyi Town was also destroyed by the Jin people.

Wang Song came all the way, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, such a majestic Xiongguan with peaks and mountains, ravines and ravines, and a majestic situation, how did the Jin people break through, and the Song army's nest bear bag can be seen.

And when the Jin people went south, or when they withdrew, they burned these Xiongguan, I don't know what kind of psychology it is, these cruel and stupid guys, only know how to loot property, only destroy but not build!

The spring breeze is ten miles, the mountains and rivers are full of green, the swallows fly over the blue sky, and the air is full of warm breath, Wang Song can't help but feel a little confused.

The last time I went south, I was accompanied by Zhiyuexiu all the way, and the journey was not boring. Now that he is leading his army north, he is surrounded by a group of rough men, and the journey is of course much more boring.

He didn't know what was going on with Zheyue Xiu, whether he had returned to Fugu and prepared for his marriage.

In this case, why can't he let go of her, and now, Zhe Yuexiu's smile seems to be in front of him, which makes him upset.
