Fuzhou City, "controlling the northwest and relying on China", is the center of the three states outside the river, and the fortress of the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty courts. Since the Jingkang period, the Jurchen iron cavalry has crisscrossed the three states outside the river, burning, killing and looting, and the lives have been ruined.

In the past few years, the military and civilians of Fuzhou have slowly recovered from the trauma of the war.

On the ruins of the war, the people built brand new houses. Although they can still see the traces of war everywhere, the swords and axes on the city walls, the smoke and fire of the trees, the ruins and graves everywhere, they can finally start a new life.

On the wall of Fugu City, Orihiko stomped his feet with hot air in his mouth, and looked casually to the south outside the city.

It was winter, the weather was very cold, and the Yellow River had frozen. On the Shagujin Ferry, the pedestrians coming and going on the pontoon bridge were in a hurry, their necks shrunk in their collars, and their heads were stuffy.

There were still many pedestrians who could not wait and carefully crossed the river from the ice, and from time to time someone fell and got up and headed to the banks.

A chubby man fell several times in a row, rolling and rolling on the ice, embarrassed, and his fur hat fell somewhere, causing the soldiers on the city wall to laugh.

Looking at the comical scene outside the city, the army slowly put away the smiles on their faces. The pedestrians outside the city panicked, not at all normal, as if something terrible was driving them away.

"Fan...... Son!"

Suddenly, the guards pointed to the Bulgarian army crossing on the other side of the river and shouted loudly.

Zhi Yanruo was shocked, and he also put his hands on the wall, followed everyone, and looked at the other side of the Yellow River together.

In the snowy fields on the south bank of the Yellow River, countless Song people panicked, rolled and crawled, and stumbled towards the north bank of the Yellow River.

Everyone's eyes widened and they looked into the distance, trying to figure out what was going on.

Suddenly, on the south bank of the Yellow River, in the distant sky, countless small black dots rushed out. Immediately afterward, the small black dots gradually grew larger, and became knights with hideous faces, bows and arrows, galloping across the snow.

"Sure enough, it's a fan, hurry up and smoke wolf!"

Everyone was taken aback, the trumpet sounded, and the Diao Dou was struck rapidly, and the smoke billowed into the sky.

Countless soldiers and locusts poured onto the city, and rolling stones, trees, cannonballs, and thunderbolts were moved to the city, and the whole city began to get busy.

In the snowy fields and on the plains, the Jurchen rangers galloped with feathers and arrows, rampage, they beat their horses and galloped, screaming, and the people of the Song Dynasty fell to the ground one after another, and the screams continued.

There was no way to enter the heavens and the earth, and many Song people knelt down and begged for mercy, but even so, the Jurchen cavalry was merciless, bloody blades, heavy arrows flew one after another, and the beggers for mercy soon lost their lives.

Behind the Jurchen rangers, countless golden soldiers, marching on foot, waving flags, dense, boundless, and ironclad guards all over the mountains emerged from the skyline.

The army of Jin soldiers was getting closer and closer, occupying the entire ferry, and extending far to the shore, boundless. The hideous color on the face of the golden soldier was fully displayed, the iron armor was solemn, the swords and guns were like a forest, the army was like flowing water and horses were like dragons, and a killing aura was coming.

"Straight, this ...... I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of people! ”

Orihiko gasped, and his hand unconsciously rested on the handle of the knife.

"It's just the front army!"

A deep voice rang in my ears. If Zhi Yanruo looked back, he was dressed in military uniform, and Zhi Keqiu had already walked up to the city.

"Father's words are good."

Zhi Yanruo hurriedly stepped forward and said, "In my father's opinion, what will the golden man be?"

This is just a green flag, and the apricot yellow banner of the Chinese army has not yet appeared. In this way, the Jurchen army is probably tens of thousands.

"Fanzi is powerful, and the front army has more than 10,000 people, and they are riding on foot

Half. There is no baggage squad yet, presumably the Chinese army will arrive later. According to this estimate, there are at least 50,000 Jinren. If the comer is not good, pass the order down, let the brothers prepare early! ”

Zhe Keqiu frowned, looking at the Jin army outside the city, his face was pale.

Fugu City Mountain is high and deep, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Fuzhou has many rivers, ravines are vertical and horizontal, Li Yuanhao's 100,000 army in Western Xia has not yet been able to take it, and the Jin people want to succeed in one blow, I am afraid it is not easy.

The biggest is probably like last time. On the one hand, the Jin people attacked all roads in the east of the river, and part of them besieged the land of Fuzhou. At that time, the north and south will be separated, and Fuzhou will be lonely, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on!

It's just that the Jurchen army has such a large number this time, and the front army alone has already reached tens of thousands, and between Song and Jin, I'm afraid it will be a national war.

"Father...... Daughter...... The real Chinese army is coming!"

Zhi Yanruo's voice trembled, and his face turned pale.

Fold Keqiu to take a look, only to see five or six miles away, full of iron-clad Jurchen knights, everyone is fierce and fierce, full of arrows, the blades are bright, row by row, column by column, endless, from the dragon, the number of people does not let the front army ride on foot.

"Fifteen thousand!"

Zhe Keqiu's face was pale, and his fingers trembled slightly. Jin Renguang is the cavalry of the Chinese army, which is already tens of thousands, more than double the number of the Jurchen army last time.

"Father, it's Wanyan Zonghan, and the banner of Wanyan Lou's room. This is a group of murderers! ”

Zhi Yanruo's heart was pounding, and he said in a trembling voice: "Zhang Jun asked his father to send troops to Yaozhou, I'm afraid it's because of this war." It seems that a vicious battle is inevitable! ”

"I don't know how many soldiers and horses the Jin people are!"

Zhe Keqiu snorted softly in his nostrils.

This Zhang Jun doesn't know how to climb to such a high position, he is keen to resist gold but lacks strategy. If he led his troops to Yaozhou, would he want or not to do these three states outside the river?

After a few major battles, the Zhejia army was already greatly injured, and it was only a battle of more than 20,000 soldiers, and it was already stretched to hold Fuzhou and Linzhou, where there were still surplus troops to fight in the south.

"The Jin people are so powerful, they go south to Yaozhou, and the Jinning Army, the Suide Army, and Yan'an Mansion bear the brunt!"

Zhe Keqiu's face changed, and he said loudly: "Yanruo, quickly send someone to inform the Jinning army and the defenders of Yan'an Mansion, so that they can prepare to meet the enemy!"

The Jin people are so powerful, if the east and west cut off the news, I am afraid that the Jinning army and Yan'an Mansion will be more auspicious, and even Wang Song's Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army will not be able to rescue.

The sergeants on the city wall, everyone was calm and calm, and they were waiting for the battle, and the city wall was silent for a while. Many of the soldiers were even pale, their legs trembled, sweat trickled from their foreheads, and their hands holding weapons were bruised, completely forgetting the cold of this winter.

The Jurchen warriors are all hideous, and there is a murderous atmosphere between heaven and earth. The golden soldiers pressed a piece of black, and swept through the south of the city neatly, but they did not squint, did not stop, and went all the way to the south.

I don't know how long it took for the Jurchen army to disappear at the end of the southern horizon. Many sergeants let out a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from their heads, many of them already soaking wet.

"Brethren, take heart, the follow-up army of the Jurchens may arrive in a few days. A big war is about to break out, everyone must not slack off, and those who violate military law will be engaged in it!"

There was a sigh on the city wall. The words that can be asked for made the hearts of the sergeants that they have just put down lifted.

Everyone secretly cursed in their hearts, why can't the Jurchens of this dog day stop the point, is it really so important to them to burn, kill, loot, fight, kill and kill?

"Father, the Jin people are coming, should we ask Wang Xianggong for help?"

Zhi Yanruo said faintly: "How to say, we are also the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and we are all fighting against foreign races. I believe that Wang Xianggong will come to the rescue for the sake of Yuexiu!"

Zhe Keqiu's face turned pale, and he nodded slightly, lightly

Voice: "The situation is critical, and in the autumn of survival, I can't manage so much." I repaired a letter and told Zhu Meng in Taiyuan City that I had some friendship with him. I hope that Wang Song can send troops to rescue him, regardless of his past suspicions!"

In the past few years, because of the mutual trade between the two sides, the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army has provided Zhekeqiu with firearms, grain, charcoal and other materials, and Zhekeqiu has brought three or four thousand war horses to the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army.

The two sides can be described as complementing each other and mutually beneficial. Zhe Keqiu and Zhu Meng said that it was an old acquaintance, and Zhu Meng said that he was happy to fall into his personal feelings. In the long run, the relationship between the two sides is also good.

"Let Yeon-so go!"

Zhi Yanruo was just about to leave, but Zhi Keqiu called out to him, his face a little embarrassed.

"Yeon-so is your niece, and she has always been good with Yuezhi and Yuexiu. Let her ask Wang Song for help, maybe Wang Song will love the house and Wu, which will have an unexpected effect. ”

"Yeon-so?"

Zhi Yanshi hesitated for a moment and said: "Father, Yanxiu is the pearl of the eldest brother's palm, she doesn't go out of the gate on weekdays, and she doesn't step out of the second door, besides, she is only sixteen years old, let her go, will it be a mistake?"

Zhi Yanxiu is the daughter of Zhe Keqiu's nephew Zhi Yanzhi, and she is also the niece and granddaughter of Zhe Keqiu. Let her go, which shows the sincerity of what can be sought. It's just that after all, it's a daughter, and it's still uneasy to let it out like this, after all.

"What's the solution, if only Yuexiu was here!"

Zhe Keqiu shook his head and said gloomily: "Who knows that Yuexiu is gone, and heaven and man are separated forever, so how can I explain to Kecun under Jiuquan, Yuexiu is his only blood and bones!"

Although there are some "works", the pain in the heart is still genuine. In any case, Zheyuexiu's death still has something to do with him, and Zheyuexiu is also his cousin's only bloodline.

"Speaking of which, it's time for your eldest brother to come back!"

Fold Keqiu unconsciously changed the topic. He looked at the mountains to the south and couldn't help frowning again.

The eldest son of Zhe Keqiu, Zhi Yanwen, has been an official in the imperial court, both civil and military, and is quite fond of Zhe Keqiu.

Now that the government and the opposition are turbulent and displaced, they have the idea of letting their son come back. Now calculate the time, and it is time for my son to arrive.

"Father, Fanzi Ranger is everywhere, and it's probably a little inappropriate for the eldest brother to come back at this time."

Zhe Yanyan's heart went up and down. Now that the Jin soldiers are pressing, if the elder brother meets him unexpectedly, he is afraid that it will be more than lucky.

"In any case, my family is not with Fanzi! If anyone dares to surrender to Fanzi, don't blame the ruthlessness of military law, and don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Fuzhou was closed, and he was blamed by the world, and his face was disgraced, which also made him inexplicably tough, so that he felt a little iron-faced and selfless.

In the next few days, the Jin army continued to move south, entering the territory of Shaanxi, roughly counted, there were 100,000 people. Although half of them were Han Chinese, the Jurchen cavalry also reached nearly half.

The things that I had been worried about finally happened. Two days later, Wanyan Zonghan, the marshal of the right side of the Jin people, sent someone to persuade him to surrender, saying that Zhi Yanwen and several children of the Jin family were in the hands of the Jin people, and they wanted to lead the army to surrender and allow him to surrender in Guanzhong.

Worse things came, the Jin people broke through the Jinning army, and Sun Ang, the commander of the Jinning army, was killed in battle. The Jin people broke through the Suide army and Yan'an Mansion, and the army went all the way south.

Zhe Keqiu was indifferent, and the Fugu Zhe family was panicked, and the clouds were gloomy all day long, and there was a sigh of sighing.

At the same time, the niece and granddaughter Zhi Yanxiu, who was able to ask for it, embarked on a trip to Hedong. If you want to ask for it, you can also understand that the ambition of the golden man and the wolf, and surrendering to him is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger. If Wang Song's help can be obtained, Fuzhou will definitely stick to it.

A big war that swept the whole of Shaanxi was about to break out, the land of Guanzhong was surging, and a national war related to the Great Song Dynasty was about to be staged.
