To the east of Bianliang, near Qixian County, the small village has recently become lively.

Most of the residents who originally lived in this vicinity have moved away, and the reason for the excitement is because of the successive arrival of Qinwang's troops from all walks of life, led by the Wurui battalion, which has gathered more than 60,000 troops near Qixian County.

Even if the army has more than 10,000 people, it is a complete ecosystem, and when it reaches tens of thousands, it is a great test in the commander's mastery of the army.

Now that the Jurchen army is approaching the city, the war is about to break out, and the management of the army is naturally much stricter than usual. However, several large armies gathered in this vicinity, Wuwei, Wusheng, Wurui three armies belong to different army members, in addition to the three armies, the 30,000 people of the Wujie battalion came from the west, in addition to a few forbidden armies with independent numbers near the capital, such as Zhuri, Tianwu, Longwu, etc., have all withdrawn to the capital, as well as some small-scale imperial court forces in various places, plus all kinds of Qinwang troops from all directions, all gathered here, who listens to whose orders every day, who wants to find logistics, and where to live, have become a disturbing matter.

The military establishment of the Wu Dynasty was originally a little chaotic, this time the army gathered, and the envoys of each army were actually at the same level, and this time they gathered together, and the armies could not control each other. Several people who were the supreme commanders, such as He Chengzhong of the Wuwei Battalion of Tong Guan's lineage, Liang Zhongshu of the Cai Jing line, and Huo Jue of the Wurui Battalion of the Right Department, although they discussed together every day how to fight next, no one dared to attack the Jurchens lightly. Friction is innumerable.

In the capital, the one with the most prestige and ability to lead this war this time was actually Tong Guan - even though his evaluation was not high in later generations, he was indeed still the first military commander of the Wu Dynasty at this time. But the Jurchens went south, in the capital, the situation was changing and complicated, and Tong Guan fled from Taiyuan, which was stained, after returning to the capital. Zhou Zhe felt a little mustard in his heart. He shrank himself.

It is also for this reason that when the supreme commander of the defense war was elected, only Li Gang, the leftist minister who was upright by nature, stood up. The dynasty is dark, and the generals are incompetent. Li Gang complained a lot about this. It is said that no one dares to stand out above the court. The old prime minister had no choice but to come out and say: "If the saint is not afraid to use the civil minister to take charge of military affairs, the minister is willing to do it." This is a slap in the face for Tong Guan and others. However, the Wu Dynasty was originally in charge of the military with Wenchen. Tong Guan lowered his head and didn't speak, Zhou Zhe caught the strong man, and happily threw the hot potato out.

After Li Gang took over, it is estimated that he was also a little resentful, and in order to fill the river, he demolished Cai Jing's garden. In fact, although he has been in the position of the left minister for several years, many affairs have been involved in moderation, and the real most powerful people in the court have always been Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng and others. The old prime minister is upright and hot, and he is not as bent and stretched as the right minister Qin Siyuan, but this time the Manchu Dynasty is in danger of dying by one person, he vented and slapped Cai Jing in the face, and no one dared to say anything about him.

Of course, these things are also known to the high-level leaders in Beijing. Although Li Gang is now the supreme commander and guards the capital tightly, it is not easy for several large armies outside the city to be like an arm and a finger, and the imperial envoy is free. Under such circumstances, when the various Qinwang troops scattered outside the city, including some of the bandits who had been recruited before, gathered in three hundred and five hundred, it became a troublesome matter who should listen to the command and who to eat with.

It was also for this reason that when a young general named Yue Fei arrived in Qixian County with more than 300 soldiers under his command and found Ning Yi in the small courtyard of a nearby village, the surrounding situation was such a chaotic situation.

Outside the camp where the army was gathered, there were all kinds of small and chaotic barracks, noisy and shouting, occasional frictions, daily quarrels over military supplies, and all kinds of small war reports and wounded gatherings. It's not that the reorganized armies don't want more people, it's just that the various inefficiency of the formation is too low, and the cumbersome system of the Wu Dynasty is still there, and these things have not yet reached the time when they can "obey power", so the whole scene has become tense and chaotic.

The more than 300 people led by Yue Fei were originally stationed near their hometown of Tangyin, and the Jurchens went all the way south, although Tangyin was not beaten, but the various command systems north of the Yellow River were also in chaos. When he learned of his master's death, he led more than 300 people to chase after him, and when he arrived near Bianliang, he didn't know which unit to go to.

Fortunately, although he has a loyal and upright personality, he is not a scheming person, and after he became an army, he secretly inquired and knew that his resurrection was an indirect order from Qin Shaoqian. He had never seen such a court official before, but after arriving near Qi County, he saw the people of Zhuji, so he came all the way to find Ning Yi.

The people gathered here by Zhuji were one or two hundred people, and they occupied a large courtyard near the Wurui camp. Yue Fei inquired a little, and the stragglers gathered around him only knew that there were people coming and going in this courtyard every day, and it was very lively, and sometimes some officials would come in and out, but no one knew what they were doing inside, and some people guessed that they were responsible for helping the imperial court transport logistics and grain, but after Yue Fei reported that he entered the door, he only heard someone scolding.

“…… Huangkou Xiaoer, I don't know how important it is, how many people are here to live and die, how can you wait for villains to take the opportunity to manipulate the rights and wrongs of power! How many people died in Chenghuangpo, and how many people died in the Yuangang area! This official will not let the people under his rule go to death! They stayed in the city, and they stood on the walls, so that they still had a way to live—"

This scolding was sonorous and righteous, Yue Fei didn't know what it was for, but he heard a voice sound.

"Lord Yu, I said, you misunderstood, the people of Zhuji are just familiar with the surrounding roads, in the name of the imperial court to coordinate the evacuation, my people will coordinate the timing and route for you, do it or not, in the next grass people, how can you force you......"

"You quibble!" The man interrupted the other party's speech, "Ning Liheng, do you think I don't know, although I, Yu Wenfeng, am a junior official of the county order, I am not a person without a background, behind your Zhuji is the support of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and this time the matter outside is all coordinated by you and others." Although you Zhuji people put down their things and left, but as soon as I said no, I came to the official document in the afternoon of the same day, and you don't know what's going on! The Great War is coming, and you are doing this ridiculous thing all around. You are also a person who reads poetry and books, and you are not afraid that the dead under the Nine Springs will not let you go-"

"Come on, send Lord Yu away, Lord Yu, you are mistaken. If you don't want to withdraw, then don't withdraw, there are still many things to be busy with on the villain's side, all of which are official duties that have been pressed down, and when the matter is over, he will personally come to the door to apologize......"

"The big man stands up to the sky. Ning Liheng, do you dare to do it, but don't you dare to say it. Don't you dare confront me—"

In the midst of the noise, the sound of a barbaric send-off could be heard, and an official was pushed out, and the crowd came and went in the courtyard at this time. Ning Yi also came out of the door over there. There were a few people next to him. Yue Fei was about to go up, when the sound of a galloping horse stopped outside the courtyard, and a man with light skills rushed in. He whispered something in front of Ning Yi. Yue Fei's martial arts are strong, and he vaguely heard that there were more than 3,000 people, Ning Yi frowned, and said in a low voice: "Which army is nearby, scattered formation, let Brother Wenren go and ask for a warrant, Brother Yong, please take a team with you in this matter, as long as you have something to eat, you must go......"

The person who was called Brother Yong by him next to him was Qi Xinyong, who was the soul gun, when he was in Jiangning, Yue Fei also had a relationship with him, but he left after seeing him. Ning Yicai finally walked quickly towards Yue Fei's side: "Brother Yue, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are here too." ”

Yue Fei stood up straight and arched his hand. The friendship between him and Ning Yi is not deep, when he was in Jiangning, he helped save the Su family, and later met and chatted twice, Ning Yi regarded him as a "benefactor", but Yue Fei was taught by Zhou Tong since he was a child, and he was just chasing bandits at that time, and he didn't think it was a big deal. This time, I don't want people to think that he is begging for retribution.

And at the beginning in Jiangning, although the two fought side by side for a short time, Yue Fei later knew that this scholar was ruthless, and after the annihilation incident, he chased and killed Liangshan, slaughtering half of Liangshan's people, and the evaluation on the rivers and lakes was ultimately both good and evil. He listened to the scolding of the county order just now, and at this time, he subconsciously kept some distance from Ning Yi.

Seeing that Yue Fei was looking for him at this time, Ning Yi naturally knew the reason, and soon found Qin Shaoqian and introduced him to him. At this time, Yue Fei was not well-known, but Qin Shaoqian was a general in the army, sniping the Jurchen army in Shouzhang, and he was blind in one eye, very domineering and murderous. Yue Fei only thought that Ning Yi deliberately pulled a relationship for him, Ning Yi said to Qin Shaoqian that this young general should have a very good way of fighting, and Qin Shaoqian only thought it was a compliment. Then he asked more than 300 of Yue Fei's subordinates to be incorporated into the army to provide food and straw supplies, and then arranged these more than 300 people with Zhuji to temporarily listen to Ning Yi's command and deployment.

Yue Fei's original use was Ning Yi's relationship with him, and this time he was so enthusiastic. In Qin Shaoqian's opinion, either he is to return Jiang Ning's favor, or he feels that this young general really has potential, and he wants to make a good relationship and become a thug in the future - at this time, martial artists are mostly despised, although Qin Shaoqian himself is a military general, but a small military attache who leads a three-hundred-box army, in his opinion, running errands under Ning Yi, a staff member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, is not a bad thing. Moreover, although everyone was not sure about the necessity of what Ning Yi did at this time, the mobilization of millions of civilians near the capital was indeed extremely costly.

One of the big reasons why Yue Fei went south was because of the sacrifice of his master Zhou Tong, who knew that he was now arranged to be a group of businessmen who didn't know what to do as guards, and he was somewhat resentful. But he has been in the army for several years, and he also understands some things in the army and officialdom, so naturally he will not do anything out of the ordinary. Moreover, in the current period of time, more than 100,000 people have gathered, but it is only a fierce small-scale friction, and everyone is confronting each other, holding their troops still, and the situation makes him and other middle- and lower-level officers quite confused.

As usual, the Jurchens have all fought to the bottom of the capital, and more than 100,000 troops have gathered here, plus nearly 100,000 people in the city, everyone will want to drive the Jurchens away as soon as possible, how can everyone live here in a noisy manner.

Although he couldn't understand Ning Yi a little, Ning Yi didn't want to snub him, and although he was busy every day, he would also go over to say hello to the other party and chat for a while. When the other party asked, Ning Yi knew that there was not peace inside and outside the capital during this time, but after thinking about it, he could only say: "I'm busy negotiating." ”

In and out of Beijing, they are indeed busy negotiating at the moment.

In Bianliang City, after experiencing an initial round of onslaught, the Jurchens sent people to send the conditions for peace talks, and there were four conditions for peace talks:

1. The military expenses of the Jin State were compensated by the warriors, 5 million taels of gold, 50 million taels of silver, 10,000 cattle and horses, and 1 million taels of silk.

Second, Zhou Zhe respected Wu Qimai as his uncle.

3. Cedion of Zhongshan, Taiyuan, and Hejian.

Fourth, take the prince and the prime minister as hostages to escort the Jurchen army north and return home.

Theoretically speaking, the war has not yet been fought, and the sum of these four articles is basically nothing to talk about for a country. But at least in Ning Yi's intelligence, in the capital at this time, Zhou Zhe supported Li Gang to defend it strictly with great "courage" on the one hand, and on the other hand, everyone was really discussing the matter of seeking peace, and it is said that he had sent people twice to the Jurchen military camp to negotiate peace talks.

"In the capital, I heard that there has been a lot of noise." As the sun set, Ning Yi looked at the huge camp that was busy and sighed with Yue Fei. He can't say too much, in the capital, the emperor gave Li Gang the responsibility of defending the city and the main battle, and in the blink of an eye, he was discussing peace, Li Gang had already scolded several times in the Jinluan Palace, "Such a close person is bitter and the enemy is fast", "How to face the people who fight in front of you" and other words have also been scolded, and everyone only mentions Jiangshan Sheji, and most of them bypass this forbidden area at the moment.

Zhou Zhe didn't mention it, but only appeased Li Gang: "I want to fight, my family and country are like this, and the crime is in my bow, but Prime Minister, for the sake of the society, the soldiers only need to think about fighting, but I have to make two plans." ”

When the struggle failed, Li Gang also asked him to come forward to negotiate with the Jurchens. But Zhou Zhe was aware of everything and did not agree, and finally let Li Yan, who was more able to bend and stretch, go.

Qin Siyuan was in the middle of this, and did not speak.

Qin Shaohe has been guarding Taiyuan for a month, and now the news on both sides has been cut off, and I don't know the recent situation, although Qin Siyuan will never pull this kind of reason for his son to fight in the front to the court to reason - but that is the forbidden area that everyone can't mention.

After all, the people who are going to be sold in the rear have been fighting in the front until life and death are uncertain at this time......

A few days later, an edict was issued, and Qin Siyuan resigned. (To be continued......)
