On June 22, on this day, the Yunzhou City Commander's Mansion received a total of three messages,

Two of them were from Bianliang, namely, first, Tong Guan was appointed as a Xuanfu envoy and led the people to the southeast to quell the rebellion. Second, Zhu Wu led the crowd to conquer Muzhou.

After hearing these two news, Zheng Fei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although the wheel of history has changed the direction in which it should have been going, it still maintains a surprising consistency with the original in some details, such as this time Tong Guan actually went to quell the rebellion in the southeast. It's just that I don't know, where is Fang La now, has he been killed by Zhu Wu? Or has he taken it for himself?

Only half a day later, another news came to the Commander's Mansion, and Song Jiang, the magistrate of Yuncheng County, passed away due to illness!

It turned out that Song Jiang had been sick since a month ago, and he had a high fever for a few days, but after asking Lang Zhong to see it, he took a few medicines, and everyone just took it to heart because he felt the wind and cold, who expected that since then, Song Jiang's body has deteriorated, and his spirit is not as good as before, but whether it is Lang Zhong of Yuncheng County or the military doctor of the Tiandao Army, they can't find out what the problem is, in those days, Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others have heard the news to visit, and even Zheng Fei wrote a few letters to show concern, and sent An Daoquan to see a doctor for Song Jiang, But even An Daoquan was helpless,

As a result, just this morning, when the people entered Song Jiang's room early in the morning, they found that Song Jiang's whole person had already cooled down, and the people had naturally returned to the west.

The only consolation is that Song Jiang's expression is very normal, as if he is still sleeping, obviously he walked very calmly, he returned unconsciously in his sleep, and did not suffer any pain.

It is said that Wu Yong immediately burst into tears when he heard the news, and the commander also sighed and immediately ordered Song Jiang to handle the aftermath according to the brigade-level specifications, and ordered his younger brother Song Qing to take over Song Jiang's position as the county commander of Yuncheng County.

Then the news quickly spread throughout the states and counties, at this time all over the country was seizing the time to prepare for the war, and many people who were close to Song Jiang could not go to mourn for Song Jiang in person, so they could only send their subordinates to go on their behalf, and after consulting Zheng Fei, Chao Gai was also the only military commander who left the station to mourn Song Jiang,

After a seven-day funeral, Song Jiang was buried in the ancestral tomb of the Song family, and a generation of Jianghu thieves finally settled down, leaving only some legends of "timely rain" on the rivers and lakes.

On June 27, another important news came, the Eastern Expeditionary Army Xuanfu envoy Gao Yu had arrived at Yingtianfu, and met the senior generals of the Eastern Expeditionary Army who had been waiting in Yingtianfu, Gao Yu urgently convened a military meeting, the content of the meeting was unknown, only that after the meeting, all the generals rushed back to their respective stations overnight.

This confirms that the imperial court really did not give up the plan to attack Jingxi Road while the summer grain was harvested, and it seems that a battle for summer grain is inevitable.

Zheng Fei immediately sent orders to all localities and armies, urging them to be vigilant and prepare for battle.

That night, on the tower of Jeju City, dozens of officers and soldiers gathered together in twos and threes, they either dozed off, or whispered, or stared numbly at the endless darkness under the tower, although there were officers around, but he did not make any reprimands to the lazy crowd, yes, is it necessary to reprimand? Even...... Is it still necessary to carry out this pointless defense of the city?

They have been trapped in Jeju City for more than half a year, everything in the past has been exhausted by time, Yangsan bandits just besieged them in the city, neither attacking them, nor recruiting them, just surrounded them, every once in a while they also sent people to unload truckloads of grain and grass to the city gate, and then patted their butts and left, allowing themselves to open the city gate to move the grain into the city, just like that, the hearts of the soldiers in the city from the fear and courage at the beginning, gradually relaxed, relaxed, and relaxed, into what it is now, None of us know what the future holds, and some are just blank ...... of a complete loss of hope in life.

Sou......!

Suddenly, a sound pierced the silence of the night sky! Immediately afterwards, they heard a "ding" sound on a flagpole on the city tower, and everyone looked there and saw that there was an arrow nailed to the flagpole!

Everyone was stunned for a moment and hurriedly pulled out the arrow, only to find that there was a letter inserted on the arrow, and the officer took down the letter and looked at it, only to see that it was written, "Uncle Zhang personally opened it"!

This letter was also quickly handed over to Zhang Shuye's hands,

Uncle Zhang was speechless for a long time after opening the letter and reading it, and after sighing three times, he lit the candle and turned it into ashes.

On the night of the next day, Uncle Zhang suddenly led more than 600 sergeants with nearly 100 former state and county officials who fled here and were taken in by him to sneak out of Jeju City, and they took advantage of the night to quietly go south, carefully avoiding the garrisons of the Heavenly Dao Army, and only a whispered conversation sounded in the silent night,

"Master Zhang, let's ...... Shall we go back to the city? If you are caught by a thief, you are only afraid of ......,"

"Lord Liu, don't be afraid, as long as we go a few dozen miles south, we can return to the Great Song Dynasty!"

"Really? That's great...... Hey? How can Master Zhang be so sure?! ”

"This ...... Truth be told, that's exactly what the thief told me. ”

"Ahh Master Zhang, ......?! ”

"Alas, all parts of Jingdong West Road have been breached, why can our Jeju City never be breached? I'm not going to hide it from you now, actually...... This is an agreement reached a long time ago between this official and the Yangsan thief, he will not destroy my Jeju City, let me take you in, and the price is that I will do one thing for them. ”

"What...... What's up?! ”

"I beg my pardon for the time being. But there is one thing that Zhang can guarantee, it will definitely not be a betrayal of the court and the emperor! ”

"Lord Zhang, you...... Did you know that fornication is a capital offense! If you go back this time, it's a dead end! ”

"Why don't you know...... But some things do need to be done! ”

"Master Zhang...... Whining...... Lord Zhang ...... for our lives, please rest assured, when we return to the court, we will sacrifice our lives to repay the grace of saving our lives! ”

"Lord Zhang's life-saving grace, we will never forget!"

On June 28, the news of the Qishan army's capture of Hangzhou also came, and this news once again shocked the entire commander's mansion, Wu Yong's speculation was indeed correct, the Qishan army was really unstoppable, like the Liangshan army half a year ago!

However, this news did not take long to reach the Commander's Mansion, because immediately after that, an even more shocking news also came......,

On 1 July, after a long flight from all directions, several carrier pigeons finally flew into the Commander's Palace, and although they belonged to the various investigation bureaus, they carried a similar message at the same time, and combined them into one...... Early this morning, the Eastern Expeditionary Army was divided into four routes, each with about 50,000 people, and a total of 230,000 troops from Qingzhou on Jingdong East Road, Dezhou, Damingfu, and Yingtianfu on Hebei East Road advanced to Jingxi Road!

The Imperial Court's Eastern Crusade Army has finally moved!

At this time, there are only two or three days left before the summer grain is ripe, and the Eastern Expeditionary Army chooses to launch an attack at this time, and it is obvious what its intentions are!

Zheng Fei immediately unfolded the map with Wu Yong and others and studied it according to the deployment of the official army, and soon, several carrier pigeons flew out of the commander's mansion and flew straight in several directions!

Gao Yu rode a high-headed horse in the middle of the Chinese army, he turned his head to look around, only to see that the heavens and the earth were full of mighty court officials and soldiers, and suddenly, a sense of power to control everything arose spontaneously from the bottom of his heart,

What man doesn't dream of having such a moment?

But then, that proud and proud expression quickly faded, and was replaced by endless killing intent, and he remembered the figure that had gone crazy at this moment in the Bianliang Imperial Mansion, Tokyo, which made his heart suddenly ache ......!

There is also Gao Lian, who has died...... And the pressure and torture I have suffered in the past six months......!

Liangshan Thief Kou ...... Lin...... Lu Zhishen ...... Zheng Linfeng...... I'm going to cut you down to the roots!
