The Han Iron Cavalry entered the land of Shandong like a torrent of steel, at this time, there was no army against Hebei, mainly because I didn't want to overstimulate the sensitive nerves of the Jin State, after all, the current Jin civil strife is not stopped, but once there is a national war, the group of Jin nobles will be able to quickly unite and unite with the outside world, in that case, the Han army will fall into the embarrassing situation of fighting on two fronts.

Heze, this peony township must be taken down, although the emperor of the Han Dynasty did not have a clear will, but Niu Gao understood the meaning of His Majesty under the guidance of the master, in this case, this hot-tempered general led the army to kill Heze.

Heze is a small city, the terrain is flat, in this place of the horse Pingchuan battle, there is no doubt that the cavalry can rampage, in this case the cunning Kong Youde did not dare to fight hard, his 30,000 troops to defend the camp, resolutely not to fight.

Kong Youde is also brave and good at fighting, this guy is also a little famous in history, of course, his fame does not come from winning a hundred battles on the battlefield, but from a big scandal. The lustful Kong Youde actually fell in love with his daughter and wanted to take it for himself, but he was afraid of being ridiculed by the world, so he covered his ears and weaved a lie, saying that it was a daughter born of adultery between a concubine and a person, but in fact the daughter was someone else's illegitimate child, so that he was justified in sleeping with his daughter.

However, at this time, Kong Youde's beautiful and stunning daughter who captivated the country and the city was only fourteen years old, not yet an adult, and had not yet fallen into the clutches of the devil, and that big joke might not be staged at this time, because the Han army led by Niu Gao was already sharpening its knives.

Eight thousand cavalry, if they rushed through at any cost, the lethality of thirty thousand infantry was enormous. However, the infantry who strictly guarded the camp was not without the strength of a battle, and this kind of hard-fought rush was definitely killing 3,000 enemies and losing 800, which was obviously not an easy battle.

The Han army did not immediately attack, Niu Gao did not move, he was waiting for the result of Yue Fei's attack on Dongying, once Yue Fei took Dongying, then he could force Kong Youde to leave the turtle shell with two flanking attacks, as long as the pseudo-Qi army left the camp, then it would definitely be a rout under the impact of the Han Iron Cavalry.

There is also a limit to not moving, and it is not immutable, after all, His Majesty's will is to take Heze within two days, so Niu Gao must prepare with both hands. Once Yue Fei's side can't quickly take Dongying, then this side will forcibly attack, bypass Kong Youde's 30,000 pseudo-Qi soldiers, and take Heze directly, anyway, he is not afraid that Kong Youde will attack him.

On the surface, Niu Gao is a reckless man, but in fact, this guy is rough and fine, on the day of the conflict with the pseudo-Qi, he sent people to infiltrate Heze City to ambush him, and activated the dragon tooth team in Heze City, to ensure that once the Han army invades Heze, the dragon tooth team will open the city gate as soon as possible.

Since the Han Dynasty had occupied most of the territory of the Song State and was in a confrontation with the Jin State, in this case, the functions of the three groups of Dragon Teeth, Dragon Soul, and Dragon Scale had undergone a major transformation.

First of all, the dragon's teeth were broken into pieces, and they lurked in every state and county of the puppet Qi, and began to contact and win over the local gentry to dismantle this puppet regime supported by the Jin people. The dragon scales entered Hebei and lurked, on the one hand, to contact Hebei's anti-Jin Yishi, and on the other hand, to secretly monitor Guo Yaoshi.

The strategic policies of the Han Dynasty for Shandong and Hebei are completely different, and for Shandong, it is a powerful attack to take this land. First, the Han Iron Cavalry attacked strongly, attracting most of the vitality of the puppet Qi, and then the Han Navy quietly landed and attacked from east to west to force Liu Yu to surrender. As for Hebei, the strategy of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty was to successfully overturn Guo Yaoshi and take Hebei with Guo Yaoshi's resentful army as the mainstay.

As for the dragon soul, it quietly entered the Jin Kingdom, and acted separately from the shadow, not subordinate to each other, not in contact, acting separately, and not affecting each other.

Niu Gao is with the help of dragon teeth, so full of confidence, not in a hurry to attack Kong Youde, has reached the middle-aged Niu Gao, has passed the impulsive period, now he fights more but uses his brain, has long lost the courage of the past, from a fierce general to a good general. Among them, Yue Fei's guidance is very important.

At this moment, the first batch of veterans of the Han Dynasty to fight on the battlefield have basically retreated to the second line, such as Wang Yin, Lin Chong, Lu Junyi, Xu Ning, etc. The backbone of the battlefield is Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Niu Gao, Zhang Xian, Dong Xian, Yang An'er, these middle-aged generals.

Among the first generation of generals, only Pang Wanchun and Hua Rong are still active on the front line, but they rarely participate in the war. As for Yang Zaixing, Gao Chong, and Cao Meng were mainly less than twenty years old when they joined the war, so they are still active on the front line.

The third-generation generals are basically outstanding young talents selected by military academies, of course, many of them are famous generals, and they need to charge on the battlefield and make contributions. The best of them is to lose Boyan, he has grown up, this alien boy married the daughter of the Pan family, became the deputy marshal of the Western Route Army, and has actually successfully mastered the Western Route Army, but he is young and needs Hebron to take another ride.

The entire Han knew that once the Western Expedition was made, then the emperor's eldest son, Liu Haotian, would become the superintendent of the Western Route Army, Boyan would be the commander, and Hebron would return to the Western Regions to be a rich man.

Among the famous generals, the best are undoubtedly Lu Xiaojun, the son of Lu Junyi, Lin Dabao, the son of Lin Chong, Wu Qi, the son of Wu Song, Bao Xiaoan, the son of Bao Xu, Yan Wenxuan, the son of Yan Shun, and others. However, most of the third-generation generals are Confucian generals, who are strategic, and Kong Wu is slightly inferior, especially the grassroots generals are more obvious in this matter.

The most important thing for the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is the third generation of generals, the first will conquer the world in the future, there is no doubt that the third generation of generals is the main force, and the influence of the four major lords in this is much weaker. The most typical thing is that most of the descendants of the five tigers of the Pan family choose to participate in the imperial examination and become civil officials, which shows that the four major families are gradually reducing their influence in the army, and they do not want to be feared by His Majesty, and they do not want to become enemies of the empire.

Kong Youde is the first fierce general of the pseudo-Qi, although this guy is greedy for money and lustful, but he is brave and strategic, otherwise he would not have come up with a farce from bringing a cuckold to possess his own daughter. This guy has built the camp unbreakable, putting on a posture of strict defense. All the tools that can be used are used to prevent the Han army from attacking the camp.

Kong Youzhi is Kong Youde's younger brother, this guy seems to be brave and resourceless, he knows that he is on a rampage, a little as greedy for money and lustful as his brother Kong Youde, and belongs to the kind of goods who don't think about tea and food if there is no woman for a day.

Seeing the confrontation between the two armies, the Han Iron Cavalry showed no sign of sending troops to war, in this case, Kong Youzhi couldn't bear it, this guy wanted to enter Heze City to have a good time, after all, it was on the battlefield, if you want to find a woman, you can only go to Heze City, and it is unrealistic to go to the countryside to plunder women.

Heze City, before the big war, the atmosphere was extremely tense. But despite this, the business of the Qinglou is still very prosperous, especially the generals who lead the troops, they are even more soaked in the Qinglou day and night, looking drunk and dreaming of death, it is obvious that they do not have any hope for holding Heze City. Even Li Cheng, the commander of the soldiers and horses, himself is singing every night, how can he restrain his subordinates?

The idea of Zhuang Bojun, the prefect of Heze, is obviously different from Li Cheng, this upright prefect is from the imperial examination, and he is on the same list as Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, but the ranking is too low, and it has nothing to do with it, plus he is upright, it has been difficult to improve. Until now, among the same Jinshi of the year, he may have lost the worst.

Xiaocao also has dreams like big trees, and Zhuang Bojun, the prefect who reads poetry and books, is no exception. Although he felt disgusted with Liu Zhenglong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, for destroying the Song Kingdom, he also knew that this was the trend of the times, and no one could stop it. Besides, only the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty can save the people from fire and water.

Zhuang Bojun is not willing to be the prefect of the pseudo-Qi for the rest of his life, he wants to be motivated, he wants to return to the Han Dynasty, and he has been actively planning over the years. Although it is a civilian official who does not control the military power, Zhuang Bojun still has a very large force in Heze City, which is mainly because he has the support of the three major families in Heze City.

The three major families in Heze City are the Li family, the Chen family, and the Du family, which were already the richest families in Heze City at the end of the Tang Dynasty. More than half of the entire Heze City belongs to these three families.

Zhuang Bojun is a person who understands current affairs, and his son married the daughter of the puppet Qi emperor Liu Yu, and he can be regarded as a relative of the emperor. It is precisely because of this identity, coupled with excellent strategy, that the wealth of the three major families can not be swallowed up by Li Cheng, otherwise the life of the three major families will definitely not be easy.

Marriage, in this day and age, marriage is the best bond to maintain a relationship. Zhuang Bojun continued to marry three equal wives, respectively from the Li family, the Chen family, and the Du family. You must know that the era paid attention to three wives and four concubines, marrying three equal wives, this precedent was still created in the Han Dynasty Emperor Liu Zhenglong, and the Han law, cancel the division of wives and concubines, men can marry multiple wives according to their own identity, status, economic status, etc., but must be a wife, once it is found that there is a division of wives and concubines, the property is confiscated, the official position is dismissed, except for the first wife, other concubines must be dismissed.

Guogong, one product, from one product, can marry ten wives, and so on, decreasing downward. Merchants without titles are set according to the amount of tax, but the maximum is not allowed to exceed seven wives, otherwise the property will be confiscated.

There are policies above, and there are countermeasures below. That's the girl who has a room, but this court can't interfere, but the child who was born is embarrassed, and the law of the Han Dynasty does not recognize the existence of this illegitimate child, nor can he inherit the lord of the ancestor, of course, the property belongs to a private person, and the court does not interfere.

Zhuang Bojun's wife has been dead for many years, and he only has a twenty-five-year-old son and three daughters. The three women are equal wives, which avoids the embarrassment of the three families, and of course, the most important thing is to imply that he is inclined to the big man in his heart.

The Li family, the Chen family, and the Du family were also unwilling to be loyal to the pseudo-Qi, and secretly plotted to defect to the Han Dynasty and make internal responses for the Han army, which is why the three families were willing to marry their daughters to Zhuang Bojun as their wives. Of course, this can be regarded as paralyzing the pseudo-Qi Emperor Liu Yu, which can be said to be an exchange of interests.

The Great Han Iron Cavalry entered the land of Shandong like a torrent of steel, and at this time, the three major families knew that the opportunity had come, and they began to plan how to help the Han army take Heze City.

Li Mingqi, the third son of the Li family, has studied in Dijing for three years, and has long secretly joined the Dragon Tooth, and is the second person in charge of the Dragon Tooth Group in Heze City. Now that the time is obviously ripe, he took the initiative to provoke his father, hoping that his father could abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

Li Junkai didn't expect his son to come out like this, he pondered for a long time and said: "Son, it's not impossible to take refuge in the Han, I, Uncle Chen, and Uncle Du are also planning this matter, but now after all, it is the army of Pseudo-Qi in the city, once the news leaks, then it will be a disaster, you must be careful." ”

"Father, don't worry, although the armed dragon tooth team only has a hundred people in Heze City, we can control thousands of people, although these people can't fight the puppet Qi army, but it is still possible to protect the Li family, the Chen family, and the Du family from persecution. Besides, the will of the Han Emperor is to take Heze within two days, as long as the three of us plan properly, there will definitely be no danger. ”

"I know, in the evening, I will discuss with your Uncle Chen, Uncle Du, and your father-in-law, Governor Zhuang, to see how to help the Han army enter the city."

After all, Heze is the territory of the three major families, and with the support of the prefect, Li Junkai is not afraid of Li Cheng at all.

In the evening, Zhuang Bojun, Chen Shiqi, and Du Hongyu all came to Li's house, to know this kind of thing, the fewer people who know about it, the better, so the three of them came in person and did not bring extra people.

In the Li family's secret room, Li Mingqi took the lead in reporting the situation of the dragon's teeth, and also told the dynamics of the Han army, and finally he said: "Uncles, fathers, fathers-in-law. Under the oppression of General Niu Gao's 8,000 cavalry, Kong Youde's 30,000 puppet Qi troops did not dare to act rashly. In this case, as long as we can open the city gates, the Han army can kill in. ”

Among the four, Zhuang Bojun is respected, after all, this is the prefect, and the basic etiquette still has to be taught.

Zhuang Bojun pondered for a moment and said: "It's not difficult to open the city gate, but that won't be good for us, if we don't get attacked by that bastard Li Cheng, it will be very troublesome, I mean if you don't do it, you can't knock down the gourd and spill oil." simply killed Li Cheng, took Heze City, and dedicated the city, at least to change the titles of the three brothers, and in accordance with the laws of the Han Dynasty, he took the initiative to dedicate the city and was crowned as the captain of the Qipinyun Cavalry. ”

The people present are all human spirits, don't you understand what Zhuang Bojun means, after this prefect dedicates the city, I am afraid that he will be promoted to the fourth grade or even higher, but everyone does not explain it thoroughly.
