680, the hateful Zhou Dong
According to the top-secret military information sent back by Uncle Zhang, the Song court set up the main battlefield in the Daimyo's Mansion.
Zheng Fei and the others didn't quite understand this at the beginning, if it was Zheng Fei, he would definitely set up the main battlefield in Gwangju, from Gwangju he could not only take Jiangning Mansion directly, but also cut off his own territory from the middle, divide and attack it, forcing the Heavenly Dao troops everywhere to have to frantically return to help, and then he could let the Song Dynasty wait for work and wait for the rabbit.
However, everyone guessed that Song Ting's move was probably a last resort, because this time in addition to the Song army, there were also Liao army and Xia army, if they wanted to attack from Gwangju, they must let the Liao army and Xia army pass through the area occupied by the Song court to Gwangju, and no matter which way they go, they will inevitably pass through Tokyo Bianliang, hundreds of thousands of Liao army and Xia army pass next to Tokyo, which is terrible for Zhao Huan and others to think about, so they can only retreat and set up the battlefield outside the Daimyo's mansion, Let the Liao army and the Xia army stay as far away from Tokyo Bianliang as possible.
But fortunately, it is also a good choice to set up here, after the Daimyo's Mansion is Tokyo, and solving the danger of the Daimyo's Mansion is equivalent to solving the crisis of Tokyo, the Song Dynasty no longer has to worry about living in fear, and because of the confrontation between the Song Court and the Tiandao Army over the years, the first line of the two roads in Jingdong has actually built the strongest defense line for both sides, breaking through this line of defense, and behind it is the plain of Pingchuan, and the three armies can attack the Tiandao Army from west to east from west to east and from north to south with the Daimyo's Mansion as the center.
And in fact, their choice is also right, Jingdong two roads are the old base of the Tiandao army, emotionally is the "holy land" of the Tiandao army, losing it will greatly affect morale, from a geographical point of view, Mount Tai, Liangshan and many other mountains and the Yellow River is the last moat to block the northern military invasion, losing them will make thousands of miles of land become an undefended thoroughfare, so no matter from which aspect, Jingdong two roads must not be lost. Zheng Fei also led his army all the way north after setting out from Jiangning Mansion, gathering the various armies that had been prepared along the line, and inspecting the combat readiness of various places on the spot, and deploying military forces on the spot.
Seven days later, Zheng Fei led the army to arrive at Jiangning Mansion smoothly, seeing that it was getting late, Zheng Fei ordered the army to camp outside Jiangning Mansion, make a fire and cook, and continue to march tomorrow morning.
In the middle of the night, Zheng Fei was about to rest, but suddenly received a report from someone, saying that Pang Wanchun had returned and brought back several strangers.
Zheng Fei couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, and secretly said Could it be that Pang Wanchun brought Yue Fei back? Wait a minute...... What did you say that brought back "a few people"? Isn't it except for Yue Fei...... Even Zhou Tong, the old bastard, was persuaded by Pang Wanchun to come back with him?
Hum! Zheng Fei was angry when he thought of Zhou Tong, he immediately made up his mind, even if he didn't care about that old bastard in the face of Li Qingzhao and Li Luoling, he would give him some color.
After a while, I saw a man in civilian clothes and dusty who came in from outside the tent, who was not Pang Wanchun?
Pang Wanchun immediately gave Zheng Fei a standard military salute, "Wanchun see the commander!" ”
Zheng Fei smiled and nodded, "You have worked hard, how are things going?" Is Yue Fei back? ”
Unexpectedly, Pang Wanchun's face suddenly rose with a look of guilt, and he hugged his fists and said, "Wanchun is incompetent...... It didn't happen. ”
Zheng Fei was stunned, what? Didn't make it? Didn't you say you brought a few strangers back?
Pang Wanchun immediately told all the story of the matter, it turned out that Pang Wanchun and others secretly left Jiangning Mansion that day, sneaked all the way into the Song Realm, and quickly arrived at Taiyuan Mansion all the way, and connected with dozens of local investigation bureau agents, and soon came to Shicheng to find Yue Fei and Zhou Tong,
At this time, Zhou Tong and Yue Fei obviously didn't know that their location had been exposed, Pang Wanchun immediately started to act as planned, one morning, when Zhou Dong went out and only Yue Fei was left at home, he asked Lei He to come to Shizhou to treat livestock and come to their residence in the name of taking a look at Yue Fei's horse, Yue Fei was surprised and delighted by Lei He's arrival, Lei He pretended to check the horse, and said to Yue Fei that the horse has definitely recovered, brother, you can rest assured.
Sure enough, with Yue Fei's hearty and heroic character, even if Lei He was uninvited, he would thank him well, so he wanted to invite Lei He to eat wine, Lei He agreed after a few excuses, and said that he heard that there was a restaurant in the west of Shicheng City that made sheep well, and wanted to try it.
Yue Fei heard that this was not simple? Brother Lei, I will take you to eat whatever you want, and I didn't suspect that the location of the Chengxi Restaurant was remote.
The two came to the Chengxi Restaurant and ordered the signature dish, and after three rounds of drinking, Lei He said to Yue Fei, I have a friend who wants to meet you.
Yue Fei was stunned for a moment, before he could react, a person had already pushed the door in, and when Yue Fei saw that the person who came in was actually Pang Wanchun, he was so shocked that he was stunned, dumbfounded, and after a while, he reacted and got up to greet Pang Wanchun with surprise and joy and excitement, Pang Wanchun was also very excited, brothers have been separated for several years, how can a thousand words and thousands of words can't bear to talk!
After some sighing, with Yue Fei's cleverness, he understood what was going on after thinking about it, and asked Lei He in surprise Are you ......?
Lei He smiled humbly and said, I am a member of the Heavenly Dao Army, Yue Shaoxia doesn't know, our commander is really looking for you!
Pang Wanchun also said, brother, where have you been all these years? Why don't you come back to us? Do you know how much effort your Brother Zheng has spent to find you?!
Yue Fei was also excited to tears when he heard it, and almost shed tears, which told all the experiences of these years, as Zheng Fei expected, Zhou Tong did not have a good heart from the beginning of taking Yue Fei away, he took Yue Fei that day and quietly left Qizhou, so he visited the famous teachers and professors Yue Fei from north to south, and kept instilling Yue Fei with the idea of being loyal to the monarch and serving the country, but he soon found that Yue Fei couldn't listen to it at all, and in turn persuaded him that loyalty to the monarch is not as good as loyalty to the people, and patriotism is not the same as loving the monarch and loving the court. A court worthy of love and protection should first of all be a court that loves the people like a son, if not, this court is a bad court, and it can be overthrown without hesitation!
Zhou Tong was very annoyed when he heard this, and asked Yue Fei who taught him this? Yue Fei said very honestly that this is what Brother Zheng told me, and Brother Zheng also said that not only the imperial court, but also everyone and himself, no matter who it is, as long as he harms the people, he is a traitor, and everyone can overthrow him.
Zhou Tong was even more furious after hearing this, and scolded Zheng Fei for hypocrisy, he was misleading the public, and he actually spread this kind of idea of no king and no country, which one of so many great saints, scholars, and powerful ministers throughout the ages is not smarter than him Zheng Linfeng? Who would have said such a thing?
However, Zhou Tong also saw that Yue Fei had already believed Zheng Fei's words in this matter, and he knew that it was not a rush to change Yue Fei, so he retreated and adopted another method, which was to take Yue Fei away from Zheng Fei at all times, not let them meet, and use time to dissipate Zheng Fei's influence on Yue Fei.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Tong's move not only did not achieve the goal, but instead strengthened Yue Fei's belief in what Zheng Fei said, because the more places they walked and the more social injustices and injustices they saw and the people being bullied, the more dissatisfied Yue Fei became with the Song Court. But as he grew up, he gradually understood the reality that his master and Zheng Fei were incompatible, he was very painful, one side was the master who taught him carefully without concealment, and the other side was the eldest brother who treated him as his own brother and guided him in the direction of progress, both of them were the people he respected the most, and he was unwilling to abandon anyone. There is only a choice to walk day by day, waiting for time to give him a result.
++++++++++++++++
Pang Wanchun was furious when he heard this, and scolded Zhou Tong loudly, but unexpectedly, at this moment, a person's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Who dares to scold the old man?" As soon as the words fell, the door was kicked open, and a person walked in, it was actually Zhou Dong!
Pang Wanchun was shocked, and as soon as he gave an order, twenty or thirty people immediately rushed in from the outside and surrounded Zhou Dong.
Zhou Tong snorted coldly when he saw this, his face was full of contempt, obviously he didn't take these people into his eyes, it turned out that he had discovered something strange outside in the past few days, although he went out every day in the past few days, he secretly turned back every time to find out, and he just happened to see the scene of Lei He taking Yue Fei, so he followed all the way and followed here.
Pang Wanchun has never been afraid of anyone in his life, but this time he felt a trace of fear, this Zhou Dong is too powerful, this seemingly ordinary restaurant has actually been set up by himself to defend himself, but Zhou Dong can enter here unnoticed, how did he do it?! Pang Wanchun knew that he would never be able to do it! And before coming, the commander had already ordered, you must not embarrass this person, if you do it for a while, don't look at your own people, but you are afraid, I am afraid that I really can't help him!
In an instant, Pang Wanchun decided to change his strategy and persuade Zhou Dong, he waved his hand to let everyone retreat, and began to show affection and reason to Zhou Dong, but Zhou Dong was unmoved at all, only said that for Yue Fei's sake, I am not difficult for you, you go, don't bother our master and apprentice in the future, our master and apprentice will definitely not be traitorous thieves!
Pang Wanchun looked at Yue Fei again, but Yue Fei also shook his head at him helplessly, obviously, Zhou Dong's care for him over the years was not useless, Yue Fei didn't want to go against Zhou Dong's will out of filial piety.
Seeing this, Pang Wanchun knew that this trip was in vain, so he could only choose to leave, he wanted to leave people to continue to monitor Zhou Tong, in case Zhou Dong disappeared with Yue Fei again, but Zhou Dong seemed to see through Pang Wanchun, and sneered and said Don't worry, the old man will not leave again, the old man will stay here, see how long you traitors can be rampant!
++++++++++++++
Zheng Fei was so angry when he heard this, he really wanted to break Zhou Dong's body into ten thousand pieces, from now on, only when Zhou Dong died, Yue Fei could regain his freedom, but when he thought of the pleading eyes of the Li family sisters, his heart softened, and he could only give up this idea with a long sigh, and after a while, he remembered another thing, and asked Pang Wanchun suspiciously, "By the way, I heard that you brought back a few strangers, ...... are they?" ”
Pang Wanchun smiled strangely, "Commander, these people...... You can't imagine who it is! ”
