Lin Chong and Han Cunbao were surrounded and killed by several Jin generals in the gold camp, Yao Pingzhong rushed out of the encirclement with less than 100 horsemen, he came to the edge of a small forest, Le Ma looked back at the direction of the Jin camp, the bursts of shouting and killing can still be faintly heard, I couldn't help but sigh, and said to the left and right, "I wanted to capture Jin Shuai and take the brothers to make immortal achievements, but now it has reached this point, the defeat is small, I am afraid that the Jin army will use this as a reason to attack the official family, what face do I have to go back to see the official family." ”

"Then don't go back!" A loud shout came from the woods, Yao Pingzhong's heart trembled, the blades in his hands almost fell to the ground, raised his eyes, only to see thousands of people rushing out of the woods, the first general was holding a steel gun, the tip of the gun went straight to his throat, Yao Pingzhong raised his hand, bent his waist, and dodged an iron plate bridge, and then got up to see that his hundred horsemen had been surrounded by the Jin army, Yao Pingzhong shouted, "Go, don't fight!" Yao Pingzhong hurriedly pressed the war horse, jumped down before the war horse fell to the ground, and then waved the mace, smashed away a few golden soldiers who wanted to come over to besiege him, and didn't care about the other sergeants, he ran away, and when Shu Lie quickly came back to his senses to find him, he was nowhere to be found.

Not to mention where Yao Pingzhong fled, and then look at Lin Chong and Han Cunbao, at this time, the sky gradually turned white, the two of them were sweating profusely, and the war horses under their crotches were fluttering at every step.

Wanyan Zongwang sat on a high place, holding milk tea in his hand, drinking it slowly, and hundreds of golden soldiers guarded in front of him, so that he would not be impacted by Lin Chong and the others.

"Almost, capture it alive!" Wanyan Zong saw that the war had subsided, so he prepared to go back to rest first

"Kill!!"

At this time, there was a sudden shouting sound from the rear, Wanyan Zongwang turned his head suddenly, looked in that direction, and found that it was Mu Huogang, angrily threw the milk tea bowl to the ground, and scolded, "Okay, you Dong Ping, I won't come to take you, but you are here to provoke me!" ”

Wanyan Zongwang expected nothing wrong, Dong Ping and Xu Ning each led a thousand horses, rushed down from the Mu camel gang, and hit the Jin camp, the Jin army fought all night, even if they didn't go to the front line, they didn't sleep all night, they had become tired soldiers, and Dong Ping was defeated and retreated, and he had lost two large battalions.

Wanyan Zongwang hurriedly asked people to use rope hooks to pull down Lin Chong and Han Cunbao, the two struggled desperately to no avail, and after the two generals went to the blade and tied up the five flowers, Wanyan Zongwang ordered the two to be imprisoned, to be dealt with in the future, and then ordered the generals to go to fight Dong Ping.

"Boom!" "Boom!!"

There was another explosion sound, this time from the east, Wanyan Zongwang was almost crazy, where did this come from.

"Report !! Report! Tens of thousands of Song troops suddenly came from the east, waving the flag of the Pingyin army. "A fast horse broke in to report.

"What?" Wanyan Zongwang was taken aback, he didn't understand why Jiang De dared to leave Dongming here, wasn't he afraid that Wanyan Yan's mother would follow his army.

At this time, Wanyan Zongwang also understood why Dong Ping would raid his eastern camp, not to save the two trapped Song generals, but to combine the inside and outside, and introduce the Pingyin army into the Mu Camel Gang, when the time comes, there are tens of thousands of Pingyin troops in the Mu Camel Gang, and there is no shortage of grain, grass and water for several months, and he can't attack it even if he wants to.

Wanyan Zongwang understood that there was a major deviation in his strategic deployment, and his mind turned, and he said, "Since the Pingyin army wants to save people, let them save it, let go of the east camp, and the armies will guard the other military villages, wait for me to write a letter, and send a messenger to the Pingyin Marquis." ”

Jiang De watched the Jin army, which was still desperately blocking him, suddenly retreated, did not send people to pursue, but carefully greeted Dong Ping, and after the two armies were united, he set up a small village outside the post, which was only 300 meters away from the Jin army camp, and he took the main force and stationed it in the Mu Camel Gang.

At this time, Jiang De also got the news that Yao Pingzhong attacked the Jin army at night last night, and seeing the orderly appearance of the Jin army, he knew that Yao Pingzhong was defeated last night, and he didn't know what happened to Lin Chong, so he couldn't help but be secretly worried.

"Report! A letter was sent by a messenger from the Jin Army. ”

"Pick it up!" Jiang Dedao.

After Jiang De finished reading the letter, he said to the generals, "Wanyan Zongwang said that he only came to ask Zhao Ji and his son, and it has nothing to do with me, even if I defeat him, Zhao Ji and his son will not allow me, allow me a daughter, and ask me to watch the fire from the other side, what do you think?" ”

"Hou Ye, this is the Jin army's strategy to delay the army, at this time there are tens of thousands of Jin troops in Dongming City, at this time, Wanyan Zongwang will definitely go to Dongming to inquire about the news, once the Jin soldiers in Dongming City know that our army is false and real, Shi Xiu may not be able to stop it, and then the enemy and I will reverse the general trend, it is better to make an appointment with Lord Li now, work together to attack Jin, and wait for the Jin army to be defeated, and then talk about other things." Wei Dingguo arched his hand and said that he was originally a general of the imperial court, and he faintly hoped that one day the Pingyin army could become one with the imperial court, and he did not want to see the imperial court perish.

"Master Hou, don't do it." Dong Ping immediately said, "There are thousands of people in Kaifeng City, and the battle is still our army first, and when the time comes, our army and the Jin army will both be defeated, although Lord Li Gang is a friend of the Hou Ye, but the imperial court will not sit back and watch our army leave." ”

Jiang De nodded and said, "Although Li Gang is my friend, but Zhao Huan may not be able to tolerate me and wait, Kaifeng can't be broken, but if Zhao Huan wants to cut the land and negotiate peace, I can't stop him, I decided to reply to Wanyan Zongwang, if he dares to attack Kaifeng again, don't blame me for letting him come to the Central Plains, and he can't go back to the north!"

In addition, send someone to investigate the life and death of the Lin sect leader last night, be sure to see people alive, and see corpses when you die! ”

- Jin Ying

"Bastard! Marshal, let me lead the army and fight to the death with the Pingyin army! ”

"That's right! Marshal, I have never been so insulted since I went south! ”

After learning of Jiang De's reply, many Jin generals were all furious, but Wanyan Zongwang shook his head and said, "No, our army is now strong in the outside world, if the Heyin army fights and is seen through by the Kaifeng defenders, then we may not be able to go back to the north."

Wanyan Yanmu has half of my army, and before her army returns, the armies must not provoke the Pingyin army, in addition, Guo Yaoshi, I will order your department to advance to Kaifeng for five miles and camp! ”

"Obey!"

"What about the prince and prime minister of the Song Kingdom?"

"That bullshit prince was stunned by last night's fight, and he hasn't woken up until now. The prime minister was washing my horse, and I don't know if it was coming. Monk Ma smiled.

"I thought it was a heroic prince, but it turned out that he was also a strong outsider, so I called the prime minister over." Wanyan Zongwang said.

After a while, the embarrassed Zhang Bangchang was brought in, and the Song army continued to attack the Jin army last night, so that the Jin army was not friendly to him, the prime minister of the Song State, looking at the horse manure and horse urine on his body, Wanyan Zongwang could imagine how much he suffered.

"Okay, you Song Xiang! How dare you deceive me, this is the idea of your Emperor of the Song Kingdom? Wanyan Zongwang shouted.

Zhang Bangchang had already softened, knelt down with a snap, wiped his tears while his brain was spinning, and said in his mouth, "Don't misunderstand, the officials of my family want to be good with the Jin Guomeng, otherwise how could they send two princes and the prime minister in a row?"

It's just that there are people in the city who want to rely on military merits to get promoted and make a fortune, and the leader is that Li Gang! ”

"Li Gang?" Wanyan Zongwang stroked his beard and smiled, "He is just a courtier, how can he mobilize troops and horses to fight without authorization?" ”

Zhang Bangchang pointed to Kaifeng and said, "The marshal doesn't know, my family officials have just ascended the throne, and many proud soldiers and fierce generals have not yet been convinced, especially those generals of the Western Army, they only have military merits in their minds, where is the gift of the monarch and the minister."

It must be the general of the Western Army instigated by Li Gang, to do this, if the marshal is captured in this battle, he will know who led the troops as soon as he asks. ”

Zhang Bangchang saw it clearly last night, it was Yao Pingzhong, so he said so.

Wanyan Zongwang nodded and said, "You say so, but there is some truth, since this is the case, I will not ask your emperor to blame, you will write down the people in the city now, I want your emperor to deal with them one by one!" ”

Zhang Bangchang thought about it, this was an opportunity, and quickly wrote down Li Gang, Seed Master Dao and other people who were the main combatants, and also mixed in some officials who did not deal with him, hoping to take the opportunity to catch them all.

Wanyan Zongwang didn't care who he wrote, and wrote another letter with a stern tone, sending someone to send Zhang Bangchang back to Kaifeng, asking Zhao Huan to deal with these main battle factions, and return the gold, silver, and national letters within twenty-four hours, otherwise he would be sent to Kaifeng.

Knowing that Zhang Bangchang was leaving, Zhao Gou grabbed Zhang Bangchang's hand and said, "If Lord Zhang sees my mother, be sure to help me tell her not to be sad, I will be able to return to China." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Gou's tears rolled in his eyes, he really couldn't think of any chance for him to go back, whether it was peace or war, he couldn't leave.

Zhang Bangchang looked at Zhao Gou like this, sighed in his heart, pulled out his hand and said, "Your Highness, don't be in a hurry, Weichen will definitely find a way to take care of His Highness's life after he goes back." ”

Neither of them believed this.

After Zhang Bangchang left, "Dashuai, why do you want to let them go back?" Monk Ma asked puzzled.

"These two people are in my military camp, but the Song army dares to sneak attack overnight, it can be seen that the status of these two people in the Song State is not important at all, what is the use of me keeping such people? It's better to send it back and let them fight on their own. Wanyan Zongwang said with a smile, "The old wolf lord said that no matter how powerful a country is, as long as there is internal discord, there is no need to be afraid, this is the case in the Liao State, and the same is true in the Song State." ”

- Kaifeng

"I counted the army and horses, all of them were ambushed by the Jin army, suffered heavy casualties, and had to retreat, and General Yao's troops did not survive! The minister saw with his own eyes that our army was slaughtered! Zhang Bangchang cried and shouted in the main hall, listening to the battle report of His Royal Highness, Zhao Huan's face was whiter than Zhao Gou, he looked at Li Gang, and said blankly, "Li Aiqing, what can I do?" ”

Li Gang swallowed his saliva, and before he was out of the ranks, Zhang Bangchang rushed out, pointed at Li Gang and scolded, "Okay, you Li Gang, shameless villain, vain minister!" How have I ever provoked you, even if I have provoked you, what innocent is King Kang? If you want to make a war exploit, but the king of Kang and I almost died, if you can succeed, then it will be enough, now the Jin army limits me to give gold and silver within two days, otherwise you will attack the city, you use this time to have an official court in your heart? I don't know what kind of trick you Li Gang have to retreat from the enemy now? ”

Li Gang looked at Zhang Bangchang's appearance, but he was not in a hurry, he asked rhetorically, "I don't know what your master Zhang's plan is?" ”

Zhang Bangchang snorted, "The Jin army is only here for gold and silver land, didn't Master Li also say that gold and silver were given to him before?" Do you still need a plan to retreat from the enemy? ”

"Then will I give it to the three towns of Taiyuan?" Li Gang said angrily, he came out of the column and said to Zhao Huan, "Official, I heard that the Marquis of Pingyin has gone outside the city, and last night he also fought with the Jin army, and now the Jin people want me to wait for two days to hand over the gold and silver, must be afraid, Wei Chen dares to say, two days later, I will not hand over the gold and silver national letter, the Jin people will retreat!" ”

"Master Li! What if the gold people do not retreat but advance at that time? How will the imperial court then? How is the official family? Li Bangyan asked.

"I think Master Li wants to be famous and go crazy in history, taking risks with the court and officials, this is the way of being a minister?" Bai Shizhong also came out and shouted.

"That's it! Shut up!! Zhao Huan shouted, he looked at the seed master and asked, "The old seed minister, if the Jin army attacks the city, may it be defended?" ”

The master sighed, the tiredness in his heart is really indescribable, the way of using soldiers, the most taboo is to go long, Yao Pingzhong went out to fight last night, he didn't know anything at all, this Yao Pingzhong is still a member of his western army, and the chaos of the army in the city can be imagined.

He arched his hand and said, "Official, before last night, there was a nine-point chance of winning, but now, there are only four points." ”

"Why?" Zhao Huan asked in surprise.

"Our army has suffered a new defeat, and the losses are all those who dare to fight, and the morale of the army has plummeted, so this is the case." The seed master explained, "If you want to win, you can't defend to the death, you can't steal the camp last night, you want to come to the Jin army has been slack, you can go again tonight, if you can't do it again, you can make a thousand people as a team, day and night to attack and disturb, think that the Jin army is already the end of the crossbow, don't retreat in a few days." ”

Zhang Bangchang hurriedly shouted: "No! No! Official, now the Jin army is still willing to negotiate peace, if there is another night attack, I am afraid that the Jin army will really enter the city! ”

Seed Master Dao frowned and glanced at him, and said no more.

Zhao Huan said to Li Gang, "Li Aiqing, don't worry, I will never hand you over to the Jin people, but this battle can no longer be fought, the widow is not afraid of death, but the Jiangshan Sheji makes the widow have to take peace as the priority." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Huan looked at the seed master again and said, "The Jin people want me to dismiss the two Aiqing, and now the plan can only be expedient." ”

After Zhao Huan finished speaking, Li Gang was already dead, he knew that Zhao Huan had made up his mind, but he still tried hard to say, "The official family, the micro-ministers are not hindered, and the gold and silver are not hindered, but the three towns of Taiyuan cannot be given." ”

Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "If you don't have a national certificate, the Jin army will not retreat, but Kaifeng can't control how the ministers in various places act." ”

Some of the people who said this were worried, and some were happy, but they did not express themselves.

After retreating from the court, Li Gang walked on the road, and saw Song Jun knocking on the door everywhere to ask for taxes, his heart was depressed, he came to his house, and saw where Yan Qing was standing outside the door, he couldn't help but turn around and want to leave, Yan Qing quickly stepped forward and grabbed Li Gang and said, "Where is Lord Li?" It's only been a few days since I became a father-in-law, and I don't know the old man? ”

Li Gang covered his face and said, "I know that you are here to ask me for Sect Head Lin, and I will definitely give Mrs. Lin an explanation for this matter!" ”

Yan Qing let go of his hand and said, "What did Lord Li say, this is the duty of a soldier to fight for the country, not to mention that Lin Jiaotou has not been killed, it is a horse leather shroud, we will not blame the adult, the villain brought the words of the Hou Ye this time." ”

Li Gang hurriedly asked in a low voice, "What does Pingyin Marquis have to say?" ”

Yan Qing replied, "The Marquis of Pingyin said, the new defeat of the imperial court, the official family will inevitably seek peace, money is not hindered, but the land cannot be ceded, the Marquis of Pingyin is now leading tens of thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city, such as the imperial court and the Jin army to negotiate peace, the Marquis of Pingyin is willing to follow behind, so that it will not occupy the land of our Great Song Dynasty." ”

Li Gangxi said, "This matter is in my mind, and now that the official family has decided to negotiate peace, the gold and silver letters will be sent out of the city tomorrow, and I also asked Brother Xiaoyi to tell the Marquis of Pingyin and let him follow him to the north." ”

Yan Qing nodded and said, "This is natural, it's just that there are many misunderstandings between the Marquis of Pingyin and the imperial court, and Master Li needs to maneuver from it." ”

Li Gang patted his chest and said, "Brother Xiaoyi, don't worry, with me Li Gang here, I will definitely not let the Marquis of Pingyin suffer injustice." ”

Yan Qing looked at Li Gang, whose beard was already gray, sighed, and said in a low voice, "Lord Li, there is news that the students are going to school again in tandem, Lord Li should be careful." ”

Li Gang said disapprerovingly, "These students are all reading seeds, and there will be no big incidents, so Brother Xiaoyi doesn't need to worry about it." ”

Seeing Li Gang like this, Yan Qing stopped talking, said goodbye, and went to Lin Chong's house.

At this time, the news of Yao Pingzhong's defeat had already spread throughout Quankaifeng, and Lin Chong's house had already hung up a white cloth, and before Yan Qing could go in, he saw a group of people surrounding outside, and couldn't help frowning.

Originally, Lin Niangzi was in Qionglou, but after the news of Yao Pingzhong's annihilation, Lin Niangzi insisted on going back to handle the funeral, saying that Lin Chong's soul could not be placed anywhere, there were too many people in Qionglou, and she was afraid that Lin Chong's soul would not dare to come, and Yan Qing was helpless, although she comforted Lin Niangzi Lin Chong was not necessarily killed, but a day passed, Lin Chong did not see anyone, and she did not see her body, and all parties said that she had died, so she believed it

In fact, Zhang Bangchang knew that Lin Chong and the others were captured, but he didn't say it, because Yao Pingzhong shouted that night because he would fail the night attack, which made him extremely afraid that Lin Chong and the others would come back and spread the word, then Li Gang and the Western Army would not have to eat him alive, if he did, it would be fine, the key is that he really didn't do it!

Now that he has spread the news of Lin Chong's death, if Lin Chong comes back in the future, he can also accuse Lin Chong and the others of being spies who were surrendered and released back by the Jin State.

Therefore, at this time, Kaifeng and even Jiang De did not know that Lin Chong was alive.

After Lin Niangzi went home, Yan Qing arranged for a few people to help take care of white affairs, so she took the time to find Li Gang.

He stepped forward and heard the screams and fights of women inside, and then glanced at the people at the door and found that several acquaintances were all scoundrels who had been mixed around the Daxiangguo Temple in the past.

Yan Qing lowered her head and ran to the corner, took out a package from her arms, first opened the cloth to cover her face, and then took out the things in the package, and when she was ready, she performed light skills and jumped into the courtyard, only to see a group of people fighting together, and the three or five people sent by herself were besieged by more than ten people, and they couldn't parry, but they still protected Lin Niangzi and others.

The high threshold on the periphery kept shouting not to hurt the beauty, looking at it like that, I couldn't wait.

"Huahua Tai Sui is killed!" Seeing this, Yan Qing didn't dare to hesitate, as soon as the crossbow arrow in his hand was fired, he drank loudly in his mouth, and when he heard the sound, he saw a flash of cold light, and a crossbow arrow had already pierced his bun.

"Ahh Help me! Gao Jian shouted loudly, he was angry and scared in his heart, he originally left with Gao Yu, this time he came back because of Gao Yu's instructions, and he shouldn't have been known to everyone, but when he saw Lin Niangzi doing white things, he couldn't help but start from his heart, so he brought someone to break in, wanting to rob Lin Niangzi, anyway, now the army is in chaos, Lin Chong is dead again, and no one will trouble him.

But this person is not as good as heaven, who knows that he will bite the gold halfway, and it will be a good thing for him.

Yan Qing held a nunchuck in his hand, and rushed to the high threshold when he got off the wall, and the two people on the side of the high threshold hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but Yan Qing shook him, and he only felt that he was confused in front of him, and he fainted.

Gao Ji looked at it clearly from behind, the masked man took a stride, and the nunchucks hit back and forth, and the two forbidden soldiers that Gao Yu gave him were knocked unconscious, he turned around and wanted to run, but was caught by Yan Qing, and the others threw rat traps, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

"You... Do you know who I am? Who is my daddy? Gao Ji was grabbed by Yan Qing in his hand and hurriedly shouted.

"Isn't it Gao Yu! Now the official family is Zhao Huan, not Zhao Ji, what if your father is Gao Yu? Yan Qing said with a smile, and he said to his subordinates, "I am a road that is uneven, draw a knife to help, you should take this little lady away!" ”

Lin Niangzi heard that it was Yan Qing's voice, gave a salute, and left under the escort of several people.

Gao Yu watched the beauty run away again, and said with a sad face, "Hero, I actually didn't do anything, just because Lin Niangzi was newly mourned and wanted to help, this is all a misunderstanding." ”

Yan Qing threw it to the ground, put the crossbow arrow in his hand, looked at the dozen people around him and said, "Misunderstanding, I don't think so, you all squat in the corner of the wall for me, otherwise I guarantee that this flower Tai Sui will become a dead Tai Sui!" ”

Seeing that these people were still hesitating, Gao Jian shouted, "Squat for me!" If I get hurt a little, I'll go back and skin you!" ”

These people are all forbidden soldiers selected by Gao Yu, not to mention their ability, but they are obedient first, listening to Gao Ji say this, they all honestly ran to the corner and squatted.

Gao Ji said to Yan Qing with a hippie smile, "My good brother, you just treat me as a fart, let me go." ”

Yan Qing was amused by what he said, and suddenly thought of something, and asked, "You didn't follow Gao Taiwei to Hangzhou, why did you come back?" ”

When Gao Jian heard this, his eyes fluttered and said, "Then what's good in Hangzhou, I naturally want to come back." ”

Yan Qing snorted, "Kaifeng may be broken at any time, and your life may not be saved at that time, unless there is something important, where do you dare to come back, and don't tell the truth, believe it or not, I will abolish your third leg!" ”

Poor God! Last time, Gao Jian was taken away and had a foreskin operation, and it took him a few years to get back hard, during which he didn't know how much medicine he had taken and how much he suffered, and he felt that if he died, maybe his body would not be able to rot.

Gao Jian looked at Yan Qing's crossbow against his third leg, and was so frightened that snot and tears came out, and cried, "I really came back for fun, what do you want me to say to believe it." ”

Yan Qing's eyes rolled, his hand crossbow was pointed at Gao Ji's head, while observing the squatting sergeants, he touched Gao Ji's body, when he touched Gao Ji's hair, Yan Qing obviously found that Gao Ji's tremble, he immediately touched it carefully, and found that there was actually a hard object in this Gao Ji's hair bun, he said quietly, "Okay, you close your eyes!" ”

Gao Jian closed his eyes and said, "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life." ”

Yan Qing looked at the sergeant staring at him, put his hand in his arms, and threw out a smoke bomb, only to hear a bang, an explosion, and then a fog dispersed, and those sergeants hurriedly rushed over, and when the smoke dispersed, only Gao Ji was left, and Yan Qing had disappeared.

With the support of the sergeant, Gao Jian stood up tremblingly, his hair in a bun, and shouted, "It's over, it's over, the wax pill is gone, Daddy has to kill me!" ”

- Qiong Lou

When Yan Qing returned to Qiong Lou, Lin Niangzi had already settled down, Lin Niangzi thanked Yan Qing, Yan Qing returned the salute, came to the unmanned room, took out the wax pill, and broke it hard, inside was a strip of silk made of cloth, which was full of fly's heads, he read quickly, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and there was a secret order from Gao Yu on it, asking several generals of the forbidden army to secretly communicate with the Jin people, and find a way to let the Jin army enter the city.

Yan Qing put down the strip of cloth, the whole person's back was covered with sweat, Gao Yu was born in Zhao Ji's personal servant, he would never betray Zhao Ji, in such a matter, all Gao Ji's actions can be seen as Zhao Ji's meaning, which makes it clear why Gao Yu did not dare to send others, but only dared to let his son take the risk of passing on the news.

At this time, the strip of cloth suddenly spontaneously combusted, Yan Qing was startled and wanted to extinguish it, but the silk was already extremely flammable, and by the time Yan Qing extinguished it, it had already turned into black ash.

Yan Qing was speechless, this Gao Yu was very careful.

Yan Qing knew that the matter was very important, so she immediately wrote a letter from memory, compiled it into a secret language, and arranged for someone to send the letter to Jiang De.

- Mu Huogang

Jiang De looked at the information sent by Yan Qing and closed his eyes.

In history, the entire battle of Jingkang is full of strangeness.

Not to mention that in the end, Zhao Ji's father and son threw themselves into the net like their brains were in the water, and they didn't say that they wanted to rely on the gods and generals, just said that the battle of the Yellow River just happened, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses collapsed inexplicably, and it took the Jin army several days to cross the river, but none of the soldiers and horses stopped them, Yao Pingzhong attacked at night but was surrounded by counter-surrounding, what is in this, it is really difficult to say.

Jiang De put away the translated information, looked at the map on the table and thought secretly.

Just came the battle report, Wanyan Zongwang's mother has already received the news of Wanyan Zongwang, several doors are out, Zhu Wu's coming is a little slower, Shi Xiu can't resist it, defeated and retreated, Wanyan Yan's mother will join Wanyan Zongwang after a while, and the power in Wanyan Zongwang's hands will not be able to be balanced by himself at that time.

Zhao Huan has agreed to negotiate peace, thinking that the Jin soldiers will withdraw in the near future, at this time Lu Junyi should have arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, when the Jin army is not allowed to enter, it will speed up the retreat to the north, according to history, the seed master will follow all the way, although he has a relationship with the seed master road, and because of cotton and other businesses and the Western army has some relationship, but in the face of national events, the seed master will not give himself any face.

Thinking of this, Jiang De understood that his goal of becoming famous and profitable had been achieved, and what he should do was to retain his results and strength.

- Jin Ying

Wanyan Zongwang was overjoyed when he learned that Zhao Huan had agreed to all his conditions, and said to the left and right, "It's a big deal!" ”

"Newspaper!! Dashuai, the battle report of the Daimyo's Mansion! At this time, several sergeants walked in with one person in their arms, and Wanyan Zongwang hurriedly stood up and asked, "How is the Daimyo's Mansion?" ”

The man raised his head and replied, "Last night, a Song army suddenly came, under the banner of the Pingyin army, about twenty or thirty thousand people, attacked our army's camp at night, and saw that our army was in chaos in the Daimyo's mansion, and a civilian official led the army to fight, and His Royal Highness couldn't resist it, and at this time he had retreated to Weidian." ”

"Map!" Wanyan Zongwang shouted, the map opened quickly, Wanyan Zongwang pointed at Wei Dian and said, "Fourth brother is very good!" Defending the ferry port to the north of our army, you can remember a merit. ”

Wanyan Yan's mother, who had just returned, arched her hand and said, "Dashuai, this Pingyin army is different from other Song armies, it is good at fighting and brave, and it is well-armed, and it is the enemy of our army!" ”

Dong Cai also said, "Especially the firearm, it is simply impossible to prevent." ”

Wanyan Zongwang nodded and said, "Our army must also have firearms, and when I return to China, I will send people to find craftsmen, and now the Pingyin army has defended the Daimyo's Mansion and faintly cut off the back road of our army, but I judge that Jiang Xinzhi is absolutely unwilling to fight to the death with our army, otherwise we will both lose and lose, and it is not me who is unlucky in the end, but him!" The Song court could not tolerate him. ”

As he spoke, Wanyan Zongwang looked at Monk Ma and said, "One of the two generals who was captured last night is named Lin Chong, I once heard my master say that this Lin Chong has a close relationship with the Pingyin Army, you immediately hang it in the visible place of the Pingyin Army, and tell the Pingyin Army that if they dare to attack me, this Lin Chong will be the first to die!" ”

"Yes!"

- Mu Huogang

"What? Senior Brother Lin was hung on the flagpole? Jiang De was overjoyed and said, "So he didn't die?" Didn't Yan Qing intelligence say that Senior Brother Lin had been killed before? ”

"Yes! I saw it with my own eyes, Lin Jiaotou was a little injured, okay. Cheng Min also said happily, "Then General Jin also sent people to say that if we are laid off, they will shoot the head of the Lin sect." ”

"I didn't want to send troops!" Jiang De rubbed his hands and said, "Senior Brother Lu has sent news, the siege of the Daimyo Mansion has been lifted, Wanyan Zongbi has retreated from Weidian, I want to come to Wanyan Zongwang to get the news, so so, okay, send a message to him, as long as he returns my Senior Brother Lin, I promise not to hurt him!" ”

- The next day

It was another court meeting, after yesterday's day of scraping and previous preparations, the gold 500,000 and silver 5 million that the Jin army wanted had been gathered, and today Zhang Bangchang and others asked Zhao Ji to go to the gold camp.

After retreating from the early dynasty, Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan and others walked out of the palace gate, and suddenly a group of students wearing Taixue uniforms poured out of the street. ”

Li Bangyan was named, and felt that he was the prime minister, and he was outside the palace, and there was a forbidden army on the side, so he was afraid of something, so he pointed to the man and said, "What a bold man!" At the feet of the Son of Heaven, dare to be presumptuous? ”

The man at the head was Chen Dong, and he shouted, "The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death?" In the face of a strong enemy, you don't seek to retreat from the enemy, but you trap Li Gong and Chonggong, and you can't be spared! ”

Saying that, Chen Dong rushed forward with red eyes, and other students also rushed forward to grab Li Bangyan and others to fight, but fortunately, Li Bangyan brought his family, and the forbidden army saw and stopped him, so Li Bangyan was not beaten to death.

At this time, all parts of Kaifeng Mansion learned the news that the students were willing to restore Li Gang and the Dao of the Planters, and they rushed to support, less than two incense sticks, and actually gathered tens of thousands of people, and the forbidden army guarding them saw this, as if they were facing a great enemy, and asked Li Bangyan and others to go back to the palace to see Zhao Huan, and close the palace door.

Zhao Huan learned that the Tai students were gathered outside the palace, and couldn't help asking, "A few days ago, it was for the six thieves, why today?" ”

Zhang Bangchang cried and said, "For the lives of Weichen and others, those students said that anyone in the Great Song Dynasty can be missing, but Li Gang cannot be missing, and the imperial court dismissed Li Gang according to the will of the Jin people, so they made trouble." ”

One sentence suddenly made Zhao Huan's original apology to Li Gang disappear, and he snorted and said, "I'm going to listen, what do these students want to do?" ”

Zhao Huan came to the palace wall, looked out, and saw the black people outside the palace reaching to the sky, squatting down and shrinking his head and asking, "Why are there so many people?" ”

Wu Min said, "I'm afraid there are already 350,000 people, the official family, it can't be like this anymore." ”

Zhao Huan said to him, "Wu Aiqing, go and ask these students what they are going to do?" ”

Wu Min poked his head out and shouted, "What are your intentions for gathering, why don't you tell the saint?" ”

Chen Dong and the others took out a book of recitals and shouted, "The ministers in the court, those who bravely ignore and take on the important role of the world, Li Gang is also, and the so-called ministers of the society are also." Those who are mediocre, jealous of illness and ability, who act for personal planning, and who do not care for the national economy, are the disciples of Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang, Zhao Ye, Wang Xiaodi, Cai Mao, and Li Yan, and the so-called thieves of the society.

His Majesty is one of the secretaries of the government, and the Chinese and foreign ministers celebrate, knowing that His Majesty is capable of being virtuous. Don't use it in time, know that Your Majesty can go to evil. However, the outline is not specialized, the time is reprimanded but not gone, the resumption of Bangyan, and the state of Chang, since the rest and all used, His Majesty Ren Xian still failed to do so, and went to the evil can not be doubted? Now when I heard that I had dismissed the ministry, the ministers were shocked, and I didn't know why.

"The outline starts from the official, and he is in charge of major affairs. Bangyan and others were as ill as hatred, fearing that they would succeed, because of the disadvantage of using small troops, they had to take advantage of the gap and blame the gang. The husband wins and loses, and the soldiers are always in the situation, how can they use this to move the ministers who are in charge. Eavesdropping Bangyan and Shi Zhong tried their best to persuade His Majesty that he was lucky, and the capital was in turmoil, if it was not for His Majesty's suggestion, then he would take advantage of the public opinion to relocate, and the temple and the shrine had been ruins, and the creatures had been fished and fleshed. Lai is smart and not confused, and he specially follows his invitation, and Yi Bangyan and other slanders are everywhere. If Your Majesty listens to his words and reprimands him, the survival of the sect is unknown. Bangyan and others decided to cut the land, cover the foundation of the imperial court in Hebei, there are no three passes and four towns, is to abandon Hebei, and the imperial court can restore the capital of Dalianghu? I don't know if after cutting Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and north of the river, Bangyan and others can make the Jin people not defeat the alliance?

One advance and one retreat, it is very light in the outline, and it is very heavy in the imperial court. Fortunately, His Majesty immediately reversed his previous destiny, reinstated his old position, and paid the seed master to do things outside the world. Your Majesty does not believe in the words of the ministers, please ask all the people of all countries, and they will all say that the outline can be used, and Bangyan and others can be reprimanded. When you use it, you don't have to judge it! ”

Listening to this sprinkling, there were murderous twists and turns everywhere, and the few people who were named looked at each other and secretly wrote down their hearts.

Zhao Huan was helpless, and asked Wu Min to say to the outside world that the imminent plan of dismissing Li Gang was not a good plan, and it would be reused in the future.

Chen Dong and the others still refused, and they hit the Dengwen drum like crazy, and actually broke the Dengwen drum.

Kaifeng Mansion made such a big fuss, Kaifeng Mansion Yin naturally had to come forward, Wang Shiyong asked everyone, "You are so coercive of the Son of Heaven, is it what the scholar should do?" Why don't you disperse soon? ”

A student replied, "It is better for us to persecute Your Majesty than to persecute evil and evil!" After speaking, many emotional students were about to rush forward and beat Wang Shiyong, but Wang Shiyong ran away when he saw that the situation was not good, and he was spared.

Among the courtiers, there was already hope that Li Gang would recover, so he persuaded Zhao Huan to agree, but Zhao Huan was helpless, so Geng Nanzhong said to the outside world that he was willing to recover Li Gang and the planter, Chen Dong was overjoyed, and said to everyone, "The official family has agreed, let's disperse." ”

Someone shouted, "What if it's fake?" Let's let the internal officials call Li Xianggong. ”

Chen Dong also felt reasonable, Zhao Huan saw this and asked the internal official to pass on Li Gang, and the inner servant Zhu Gong took dozens of people to pass on Li Gang, but he didn't expect Kaifeng Mansion to be like this, Li Gang was actually not in the house, it turned out that Li Gang was depressed after being dismissed yesterday, and went to Qionglou last night to find Yue and drink, and he hadn't woken up at this time, Yan Qing and others were happy not to wake up Li Gang when they saw this outside, so they couldn't find it.

Chen Dong and the others waited for an hour, and when they saw Zhu Gong returning empty-handed, someone said angrily, "It must be these eunuchs who are ghosts!" It's better to kill! After speaking, he smashed Zhu Gong with a stone.

Zhu Gong was caught off guard, took a blow, fell to the ground, blood suddenly flowed out, those who followed Zhu Gong hurriedly stepped forward to help, and someone shouted, "The eunuch doesn't want Lord Li to recover!" Kill them! Hundreds of people rushed forward when they heard this, Chen Dong couldn't stop them, and when the crowd dispersed, these dozens of people had been beaten to death, and even Zhu Gong was cut into pieces.

Where did Zhao Huan on the palace wall see this, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

Li Gang couldn't find it, so he could only go to recruit the seed master again, and he didn't know how long he would have to wait.

When Li Gang woke up, it was already noon, he learned that there was chaos outside, and hurried to the palace, and learned that dozens of internal officials had been killed by students, his face instantly turned blue, and he glared at Chen Dongdao angrily, "You are like this, can there be a royal law in your heart?" Kill for your life! Stand up for me with the people who just killed someone! ”

Those students who did it still felt good about themselves, and stood aside proudly, feeling that it was because of themselves that Li Gang could recover, but Chen Dong understood something, and he asked in a low voice, "Li Xianggong may be saved?" ”

Li Gang sighed, "The Son of Heaven is angry, bleeding for thousands of miles, you really don't know what the king's law is!" ”

Li Gang came to Zhao Huan, and immediately cried and begged for death, and the pale-faced Zhao Huan sneered, "You Li Gang died today, and I don't know if I, Zhao Huan, will there be tomorrow?" ”

Li Gang hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The official family is cautious!" The students are worried about state affairs, so this is so, please forgive the officials! ”

Zhao Huan did not answer his words, but first announced the restoration of Li Gang's official position, and asked Li Gang to come forward to drink the people outside the palace. The people suddenly shouted "Long live".

Zhao Huan's face was getting worse and worse, Li Gang hurriedly stepped forward to let everyone retreat, and Chen Dong also knew the disaster and hurriedly fled.

When the people dispersed, Zhao Huan immediately sent Wang Shiyong, demanding that the student who had killed before be arrested and beheaded for public display.

Wang Shiyong was afraid when he thought about the scene at that time, and said to Zhao Huan, "Official, although it is effective to kill one and set an example, if others are not punished in any way, it is easy to make them arrogant, it is better to put all the Taixue students in prison, so that they can reflect on it, and understand the majesty of the imperial court." ”

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Very good, at this time, Li Xianggong will go with you to do it." ”

Li Gang knew that this was to defile himself, and he didn't dare to do it, and for a while, he opened the seal and jumped around, searched and arrested everywhere, and the Song State lost the hearts of the scholars, and Li Gang also completely lost Zhao Huan's imperial heart since then.

Another day, early in the morning, the door of Kaifeng Mansion was opened, and the cars were pulled to the gold camp, these cars were full of boxes of gold, silver and jade, the people of Kaifeng looked at the convoy, angry and sad, Zhang Bangchang walked in the front, and there were hundreds of singers behind the convoy, these were the gifts that Zhao Huan specially gave to Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongwang didn't expect this festival this time.

Wanyan Zongwang saw Zhang Bangchang coming back, still carrying a cart of gold and silver, he was overjoyed, patted Zhang Bangchang on the shoulder and said, "You are a good person, yes, where is the national letter?" ”

Zhang Bangchang was slapped by Wanyan Zongwang, and he only felt that his body was numb for three points, this feeling he had last time when he saw Zhao Ji for the first time.

Zhang Bangchang looked at a person on the side, this person was about thirty years old, and he looked dignified, he arched his hand and said, "Song Guoguoshu is here, please..."

Before he finished speaking, the horse monk on the side of Wanyan Zongwang stepped forward and snatched it and handed it to Wanyan Zongwang, the man was angry and annoyed, Zhang Bangchang hurriedly grabbed the man and said, "Qingqing is angry, state affairs are important!" ”

Wanyan Zongwang opened it, read it carefully, and saw that there was indeed a word that the Song State ceded the three towns of Taiyuan, and said with great joy, "Very good!" So I will retire tomorrow. As he spoke, Wanyan Zongwang pointed to the man, "Who is this?" ”

Zhang Bangchang arched his hand and said, "This is the waiter of my country's Ministry of Rites, Li Ruoshui." ”

Wanyan Zongwang sighed, and said with a smile, "You southerners are all good-looking, Li Ruoshui, what will you do?" ”

Li Ruoshui raised his head and said, "Four books and five classics, all the sons of a hundred schools, and all the ministers are all knowledgeable!" Know it all! ”

Wanyan Zongwang shook his head and asked, "Do you know how to ride a horse and shoot arrows?" ”

"I'm a civil official, so naturally I won't."

"Do you know how to farm and graze?"

"I'm a scholar, so naturally I won't."

"Then you will break yin and yang and sentence life and death?"

"This is a witchcraft, I won't."

Wanyan Zongwang nodded and said, "Understood, nothing!" ”

Li Ruoshui's face was pale, and the many golden generals who saw it laughed.

Zhang Bangchang thought of Zhao Gou, and after seeing Yan Zongwang, he was in a good mood, and asked, "I don't know His Royal Highness King Kang?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang's face immediately pulled down and said, "What?" You are in a hurry to let King Kang go back, do you want to deceive me, and as soon as King Kang leaves, you will have to fight with our army? ”

Zhang Bangchang hurriedly said: "The handsome man misunderstood! Misunderstanding! The army of the kingdom is as fierce as a tiger and as fierce as a dragon, how can our country deserve it? ”

Wanyan Zongwang stroked his beard and said, "You can't say that, the army under the Marquis of Pingyin in your Song Kingdom is still good, and I think the other armies of your Song Kingdom combined should not be his opponent." ”

Zhang Bangchang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Why did the big man say this?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang walked to watch the Jin soldiers open the box and inspect the goods, and said casually, "Our army has fought with the Pingyin army, they are strong and brave, you put such a strong army on the edge of Kaifeng, it is very right, that is, let it go farther, if it is closer, our army may not be able to cross the Yellow River." ”

Zhang Bangchang pretended to be puzzled and asked, "The Marquis of Pingyin said that he only has 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and the marshal is too modest. ”

Wanyan Zongwang's eyes widened, and he laughed and said, "Thirty thousand? Sling the bull! He has at least 300,000 soldiers! And they are all armored soldiers, and the cavalry is at least 100,000! ”

Zhang Bangchang swallowed his saliva and said, "No, Dashuai, don't scare the villain, remove the Western Army, my Great Song Dynasty is to count all the royal horses of the official family, I'm afraid I can't get together 100,000 war horses, besides, 300,000 horses, people eat horses and chew, how much grain can they afford to raise." ”

Wanyan Zongwang wrenched his fingers to help Zhang Bangchang calculate, "This Pingyin Marquis first started from Liangshan, there were no less than 5,000 cavalry at that time, and then he got Goryeo, and he exchanged with my Dajin and Liao, and purchased no less than 50,000 war horses, plus Goryeo horses, there are 70,000 or 80,000, and then plundered the Japanese and maritime merchants, and now he has the war horses on the Mu Camel Gang, I said that he has 100,000 cavalry, all of which are low.

If you think about it, there are 100,000 cavalry, and where is the 300,000 armored soldiers?

As for the 300,000 soldiers and horses who eat horses, do you know who bought and sold the woolen cloak you wear? My army from north to south, rampant, only in Neihuang suffered a loss, because Neihuang has the Pingyin army to guard, why do you say that the Marquis of Pingyin is not in Liangshan, but in Neihuang? ”

Zhang Bangchang nodded, keeping in mind that for Song Guo, internal worries are always more important than external troubles.

After all, now the Jin soldiers are also going to retreat, and history has once again proved that foreign enemies cannot destroy a dynasty, only civil strife will.

After listening to Yan Zongwang's words, Li Ruoshui scolded angrily, "Li Gang also kept saying that Jiang Xinzhi was a loyal and patriotic person, if he was a loyal and patriotic person, why did he raise so many soldiers and horses?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang smiled and said, "You, a Nanguan, are stupid to read, Son of Heaven, those who are strong in soldiers and horses should do it, and they would rather have a kind of yes!" You, the emperor of the Southern Kingdom, can be surnamed Zhao, shouldn't you be surnamed Jiang? ”

Saying that, Wanyan Zongwang said, "Okay, when I cross the Yellow River, I will release your King Kang, go back and persuade your emperor well, don't engage in some conspiracies and tricks, if it weren't for your secret understanding, where would there be these things." ”

Speaking of Zhang Jue, Zhang Bangchang and Li Ruoshui have nothing to say, this matter is indeed the fault of Song Guo, and now that Jin Guo is looking for trouble, there is nothing to say.

The most important thing is that, just like Wanyan Zongwang said, the world's strong soldiers and horses deserve it, but they can't beat others, what else can they do?

- Kaifeng

Zhang Bangchang and Li Ruoshui reported to Zhao Huan before and after going to Jinying, and when they learned that the Pingyin army was not less than 300,000, Zhao Huan's face turned blue, and he asked, "The Marquis of Pingyin has 300,000 troops?" How to raise it? ”

If you don't know how expensive oil and rice are, Zhao Huan feels a toothache when he thinks about 300,000 armor soldiers, how much money does he get this year, he doesn't believe that Liang Shan has this financial resources.

Zhang Bangchang and Li Ruoshui glanced at each other and felt that there was some truth, even if they had the support of Neihuang, but those businessmen in Neihuang didn't want to make money themselves? It's impossible to give Liangshan support with all his fortune.

Li Ruoshui still said, "Official, having said that, Liangshan has been outside the imperial court for a long time, and the news of the Pingyin Marquis raising soldiers and horses has long been heard by the government and the opposition. ”

"How to tempt?" The whole Zhao Huan was interested.

"Mu Huogang is a place for me to hoard grain, grass and horses, it turns out that because the Jin army is here, the temporary supervision of the Marquis of Pingyin is just that, at this time the Jin army is already about to retreat, should this Mu Huogang be returned to the imperial court? Are the original grain, grass and war horses still there? This is how you know their hearts! Li Ruoshui said.

Zhao Huan clapped his hands and said, "Very good, so do this, as soon as the Jin soldiers retreat, they will send people to accept Mu Huogang, and recruit the Marquis of Pingyin to enter the city, if the Marquis of Pingyin is unwilling to return the materials of the imperial court horses or is unwilling to enter the city, he must have different intentions, and he should prepare early." ”

At this time, an internal official came in and said, "Official, the planter has arrived." ”

"Let him in."

After a while, the planter walked in.

Zhao Huan smiled and said to the seed master, "Come on, come on, just now Zhang Xianggong came back, the Jin people have promised to retire tomorrow, and it was just an expedient measure to remove you before the widow, but now you have to trouble the old minister." ”

Seed Master Dao has understood these days that he is not trusted in Zhao Huan's heart, rather than saying more, it is better to say less, he arched his hand and said, "Please ask the official to command." ”

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "The Jin army has obtained the credentials, but the widow doesn't really want to give away the ancestral land to others, I want you to lead the army all the way to the north, and you must not fight with the Jin people, but you can't let the Jin people get Zhongshan and other places, and after the Jin army returns to the Jin country, you will be stationed in Zhongshan and other places to prevent the Jin people from going south again." ”

Speaking of military affairs, the planter said with an unshirkable responsibility, "Please rest assured, there are micro-ministers, and I will never lose the land of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Zhao Huan nodded and asked him to retreat, and Zhang Bangchang asked puzzledly, "Official, doesn't the Pingyin Army care?" If the old general leaves, I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to restrain the Marquis of Pingyin. ”

Zhao Huan stroked his beard and said, "I once heard that the Imperial City Division reported that the Western Army has a lot of money in recent years, and its sources are wool and cotton, so it is absolutely impossible to rely on the generals of the Western Army to deal with the Pingyin Army."

Spread Wang Boyan to come. ”

Wang Boyan word Tingjun, a native of Qimen, Huizhou, at this time for the Zhilong Tuge, the prefect of Xiangzhou, heard that Kaifeng was in trouble, and specially brought thousands of Ding Yong to Kaifeng Qinwang.

Li Ruoshui also knew a little about Wang Boyan, and arched his hand and said, "Does the official family want Lord Wang to go to Mu Huogang?" ”

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Wang Tingjun is familiar with the art of war, and the former "Ten Strategies for Hebei Frontier Defense" is very satisfactory to me, and he has operated nearly a thousand knights in less than a year since he went to Xiangzhou, which shows his ability. ”

After a while, Wang Boyan walked in, this person was over fifty years old at this time, he was meticulously dressed, and his figure was not as fat as others, but he looked capable, which made people look very good.

"Wechen has seen the official family." Wang Boyan said to Zhao Huan

"Aiqing is flat." Zhao Huan asked him to sit down and said, "Now that the Jin people have agreed to retire from the army, the widow has nothing to worry about, only the Marquis of Pingyin, this person was originally a thief, unruly, do you have a law?" ”

Wang Boyan arched his hand and said, "Why should the official family worry too much, the official family is the king, and the Marquis of Pingyin is the minister, as long as the official family orders to let him enter the palace, imitate the story of the old Taizu, and keep it in captivity in Kaifeng. ”

Zhao Huan was extremely satisfied with Wang Boyan's answer, so he asked him to take the position of Li Gang, lead the troops and horses, and prepare to besiege Mu Huogang after the Jin soldiers retreated.

- The next day

Jiang De just got up and got the news of Jin Bing's withdrawal, he watched Jin Bing retreat with great fanfare and methodical retreat, his brows furrowed slightly, and this was obviously to make the Song army behind him jealous.

Wanyan Zongwang came to the foot of Mu Huogang, looked at the sun and moon banners of the Pingyin Army fluttering high, and said with a smile, "Shout to me, thank you Pingyin Marquis for your help!" ”

Monk Ma and the others couldn't help grinning when they heard this, and shouted in unison, "Thank you Pingyin Marquis for your help!" Thank you Pingyin Hou for your help!! ”

Jiang De's face changed greatly when he heard this, this Wanyan Zongwang really wanted to kill him, he came here for money and food, and secondly for fame, Wanyan Zongwang roared like this, and many things were difficult to say.

Jiang De immediately ordered his troops and horses, ready to rush to kill Yan Zongwang, but when he saw Yan Zongwang hanging the two of them high, he knew that it was Lin Chong and the others without asking, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth angrily.

At this time, two armies from Kaifeng, one with a seed flag, one with a Wang flag, divided the troops to the Mu camel gang, when he heard a shout in the distance, the seed master hurriedly sent someone to investigate, when he learned that Yan Zongwang was thanking the Marquis of Pingyin, he couldn't help but twitch his face.

Jiang De also learned the news of the two armies in Kaifeng at this time, and his mind turned, knowing that at least one of the armies was coming against him, so he sent someone to ask Wanyan Zongwang for Lin Chong and the two, otherwise he would threaten to go to war.

Wanyan Zongwang knew that his hand had angered Jiang De, and promised to let Lin Chong and others leave after crossing the Yellow River, and learned that soldiers and horses came out of Kaifeng, so he accelerated the march.

Jiang De simply asked Dong Ping and Qin Ming, two generals, with two thousand cavalry, to follow Yan Zongwang, and then let Zhu Wu, who was already about to arrive, cross the Guangji River to camp in the east of Kaifeng City, and collect ships, and then let the sergeants sort out the ordnance and put the materials of Mu Huogang on the car, and he himself put on a mask and took Wu Song and the guards to meet the seed master Dao and Wang Boyan.

The two of them were worried that getting too close to the Jin army would cause the Jin army to go and return, so they waited for half a day until they came to report that the Jin army had arrived at the Yellow River, and then they marched.

After walking for a while, the breeder saw a man and horse coming to Mu Camel Gang, and said to Wang Boyan, "Lord Wang, the golden people are cunning, I want to hurry up and keep up, and ask Lord Wang to go to Mu Camel Gang by himself." ”

Wang Boyan originally had a prejudice against the Seed Master Dao, so he smiled and let the Seed Master Dao leave.

"Yes, it seems that this kind of old man really has something to do with the Marquis of Pingyin." Wang Boyan said to a man in the back.

The man walked out, under the sun, with short hair and posture, who was it not Qin Hui.

Qin Hui bowed his hand to Wang Boyan and said, "Teacher, although the teacher is loyal, he is the representative of the Western Army, doesn't the teacher know that the rabbit dies and the fox is sad?" ”

Wang Boyan frowned, looked at Qin Hui and said, "Huizhi, listen to what you mean, you don't want me to deal with the Marquis of Pingyin?" ”

Qin Hui smiled, buried his face and said, "Even if there are no rumored 300,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the Marquis of Pingyin, there are tens of thousands, this person is unruly, he must not be a person who sits idly by, the teacher wants to take him, he can't use force, he should be tempted with words, if he doesn't obey, let him go." ”

"Let it go? The official asked me, what should I do? Wang Boyan asked puzzled.

Qin Hui stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Although the Jin army has retreated, the student expects that he will come again, and the opportunity for the teacher is outside but not inside. ”

Wang Boyan thought about it carefully and felt reasonable, this court and China were in chaos, and he was not as good as Li Bangyan, Zhang Bangchang and others, so it was better to go to Hebei first and wait for the time.

Wang Boyan made up his mind in his heart, came to see Jiang De, saw Jiang De wearing a mask, he didn't like it in his heart, and said, "This official is Wang Boyan of the Zhilong Tuge, and he will seal the holy decree of the official's family, and invite the Marquis of Pingyin to enter the palace to face the saint." ”

When Jiang De heard this, ah, he was another traitor, so he looked at him carefully, and found that he looked quite upright, and couldn't help but feel that this sentence was fake.

"Lord Wang, I don't know if the official family wants to see me, what's the matter?" Jiang De asked with a smile.

Wang Boyan saw that Jiang De didn't get off the horse to salute, and his anger ignited in his heart, but he secretly suppressed it, and said, "I think I want to give Hou Ye a reward, although this official is in the city, I have also heard about Hou Ye's brave battle against the Jin Army, and I also brought wine, vegetables, and meat, and I came to reward Hou Ye's soldiers and horses." ”

Jiang De squinted at him, thinking in his heart, if he didn't go to Kaifeng, no one would be able to stop him, but after Yan Zongwang's roar before, if he ran again, I am afraid that the world will suspect that he has colluded with the Jin people.

Thinking of this, Jiang De arched his hand and said, "The official family has a will, where dare Weichen disobey it, it's just that the foreign minister enters the house, how can he have no gifts, not to mention that the foreign minister is dusty, and the etiquette is different, please wait for a while." ”

As he spoke, Jiang De turned his horse's head and led the troops back to his post, Wang Boyan looked at Qin Hui and asked, "What do you think this person means?" ”

Qin Hui was also puzzled, he had persuaded Wang Boyan before in order to return Li Gang's affection, but he didn't expect that this Pingyin Marquis would really dare to enter Kaifeng.

What the two didn't notice was that a white pigeon flew from Mu Huogang to Kaifeng.

About an hour later, just when Wang Boyan felt that Jiang De was not ready to withdraw the army, he heard a shout from the soldiers, Wang Boyan looked up, and saw an iron horse of a thousand people appeared in front of him.

"What does Jiang Xinzhi want to do?" Wang Boyan said angrily, such an iron horseman, is this Pingyin Marquis demonstrating?

Jiang Dehaha smiled and rode forward, and said to Wang Boyan, "The foreign minister has brought some gifts, which are ready to be presented to the official family, and I also ask Lord Wang to lead the way." ”

"I don't know what it is?" Wang Boyan said angrily, he just thought that the war horses ridden by these cavalry may be bred in captivity on the Mu camel gang, and this is a majestic display of the war horses of the imperial court, which is really embarrassing.

Jiang De waved his hand and said, "It's not anything else, since the foreign minister sent out the army, he has fought several golden soldiers in a row, and he was lucky enough to get thousands of golden heads, so he came to present them!" ”

As he spoke, the cavalry separated, and a convoy was revealed, and the carts were full of human heads, but fortunately it was winter at this time, and the heads did not stink.

After all, Wang Boyan is a literati, and he has never seen such a scene, let alone him, there are a few people in the forbidden army who have seen thousands of heads put together, and many people vomited with a sigh of vomit.

Wu Song, who was next to Jiang De, glanced at these forbidden soldiers with contempt, just like that, tens of thousands of people, give him a thousand Liangshan brothers, and he would dare to break through them.

"Alright, let's go!" Jiang De suddenly rode a horse and accelerated, rushed directly to Wang Boyan's side, grabbed Wang Boyan's hand, the general of the forbidden army next to Wang Boyan had not reacted at this time, and he didn't know what to do, after all, Jiang De's identity was there, Wu Song and several people also surrounded him, separating Wang Boyan from the forbidden army, Jiang De grabbed Wang Boyan's hand and said, "Come on, Lord Wang, let's go to face the saint together." ”

Qin Hui, who was hidden behind Wang Boyan, secretly praised Jiang De when he saw such a hand, and looked at Jiang Degao a few points.

Jiang De's movements had already been reported to Kaifeng, and Zhao Huan learned that Jiang De had brought a thousand horses to Kaifeng, frowning and saying to Zhang Bangchang, "It seems that this Pingyin Marquis really has a bad heart, otherwise why is this so?" ”

On the side, Wu Min heard Qi Yue say, "Official, now that the Jin soldiers have just retreated, Kaifeng can no longer make waves, although the Marquis of Pingyin is domineering, but after all, he is willing to come, and he still has to be appeased." ”

This is also because Wu Min often hears Li Gang say that Liang Shan is mostly a good man, so this is the case.

Geng Nanzhong also knew that Li Gang had a friendship with the Pingyin Army, and adhered to the spirit of opposing everything that Li Gang agreed with, and arched his hand and said, "Official, absolutely not, Pingyin Houyin raises soldiers and horses, it can be seen that he is ambitious, and now he has come to Kaifeng, when he takes it in one fell swoop, he can't let it go lightly." ”

At this time, an internal official came to report that Wang Boyan and Jiang De had arrived less than a mile outside the city gate, and also reported that Jiang De had brought several cars of people.

Wu Min sighed, "Pingyin Houguo is a good general, and the official family should make good use of it." ”

Geng Nanzhong couldn't stand it anymore, he said, "Such a strong soldier is not used by the imperial court, officials should be cautious!" ”

Seeing that the two were arguing, Zhao Huan looked at Zhang Bangchang and asked, "What is Zhang Aiqing's opinion?" ”

Zhang Bangchang said, "The official family invited him to come, and he came, didn't the official family see it?" A thousand cavalry in Kaifeng City, what can they do? Counting the heads of the golden soldiers, whether it is true or not, I don't know, Weichen heard that there are often good and risky things in the frontier, and he thinks that the golden soldiers are strong, how can they be so warlike. ”

Zhao Huan nodded again and again when he heard this, and said, "Since this is the case, let him enter the city, and if he wants to be guarded by tens of thousands of forbidden soldiers, it will be fine." ”

Jiang De watched the closed gate of Kaifeng slowly open, patted the hand of Wang Boyan, who was already covered in sweat, and said, "Lord Wang, you and I live and die together this time, and it will be a good story in the future." ”

Wang Boyan was almost scared, what are you doing, why are you living and dying together, who is going to die, you are going to go, what are you pulling me for, besides, you don't know who you are emulating when I don't know, I also read the Three Kingdoms.

The city gate was wide open, and Jiang De could see that the people had gathered on both sides, and I had to say that the people of Kaifeng really loved to watch the excitement.

"Sing the military song!" Since Jiang De is here, he is ready to make a big fuss.

"You don't see it, the final army of the Han Dynasty, the weak crown is the captive, please Changying, you don't see it, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds! The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life? The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feather is constantly fighting! Abandon my old pen, with my wartime jin, shouting more than 100,000 battle robes, singing war songs and joining the army. Qi joined the army, cleaned the dust, and swore to sweep away the slaves without regard for themselves! ”

Thousands of big men sang in unison, this song that should have appeared in a thousand years later echoed in Kaifeng City in this era, the people of Kaifeng City had never seen such an army, and couldn't help but quiet, and the forbidden troops guarding both sides also looked curiously at this cavalry that was obviously different from them.

I saw this group of cavalry, swords and guns like snow, high morale, loud singing and neat steps let the world understand that this is a strong army.

"Look, what's that?"

One by one, the carriages drove into Kaifeng City, and the heads of the carts made the people on both sides take a step back, and the cavalry who had just given them a sense of sunshine instantly became cold-blooded.

Jiang De glanced at Wu Song, Wu Song nodded, and shouted to the people, "The Marquis of Pingyin killed 3,000 Jin soldiers and scared the Jin army away. ”

"What? Jin Bing was scared away by the Marquis of Pingyin? ”

"I also heard from the third granddaughter of my second uncle, Dongming's side is fighting very strongly, and it is the soldiers of the Marquis of Pingyin."

"I also heard about it, saying that the Marquis of Pingyin also personally led the soldiers and horses to the gold camp, and fought with Zhao Zilong back then."

Jiang De's countless spies ambushed in the city began to act, these people are crazy to spread the legend of Pingyin Hou Zhongjun's patriotism, what night to break into the gold camp seven in and seven out, what bloody battle in Dongming, what encirclement of the Jin soldiers made the Jin army have to retreat, said with noses and eyes, slowly the people feel that this Jin soldiers retreated I am afraid that it is really not because the gold and silver are in hand, just like said, this robber will have a time to be satisfied? It's because the knife is coming, so I have to retreat.

Kaifeng, who had just faced a catastrophe of annihilation, needed a protector and a peerless warrior too much, and the various stories spread by Jiang De made everyone feel that Jiang De was a general from heaven, and it was given to them by God in the Great Song Dynasty.

By the time Jiang De came to the outside of the palace, tens of thousands of people had already gathered around him to come outside the palace.

Zhao Huan stood on the palace tower, his face was pale, this kind of scene is too familiar, didn't he just come here two days ago.
