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. Jiang De rode to the open space in front of him, tens of thousands of pairs of eyes and ears listened to him, and what he couldn't hear in the back was broadcast in real time by the people who could hear it in front, which can only be the case in this era.

"What does he want to do? Let him dismount and enter the palace! Zhao Huan pointed at Jiang De and shouted.

Jiang De looked around, and seeing that there were enough people gathered, he handed Wang Boyan to Wu Song, turned over and dismounted, and shouted at the palace wall, "Pingyin Marquis Jiang De Jiang Xinzhi, ask to see the official family!" ”

Saying that, Jiang De took off his mask, and a young and delicate face was exposed, and he couldn't help but exclaim inside and outside the palace, this Pingyin Marquis is so young, and some people even exclaimed, isn't this Jiang De traveling all over the world? How did it become Jiang Xinzhi?

Exposing his identity is Jiang De's careful consideration, at this time, the Pingyin Army is already about to stand on the big stage of history, Jiang Xinzhi, the mask man, is also time to end, Zhao Huan recruited him into the city, it can be seen that no matter whether the Jin soldiers go south in the future, the imperial court will not be able to accommodate the half-divided Liangshan, Liangshan wants to raise soldiers and horses, then the business of Neihuang and other places will also be exposed to the eyes of the imperial court, after all, this can't hide people at all, but no one dared to say that no one was willing to say it before.

"Jiang De?" Zhao Huan looked at Jiang De below, and was terrified in his heart, what loyalty can such a person who changed his name and surname and raised soldiers and horses in the shadow?

"Wechen Jiang De has seen the official family, he is in armor, he can't pay full courtesy, and he asks for forgiveness." Jiang De yelled again.

"Excuse me!" Zhao Huan naturally didn't need to shout loudly, there was an internal official to help him pass the word.

"Pingyin Hou, you are actually Jiang De, who used to be known as Donghuamen, what crime should you be guilty of deceiving the king?" Zhao Huan buttoned up a big hat first.

Jiang De arched his hand and said, "Weichen has never said that he is not Jiang De, what is the crime?" ”

"How daring!" "The sin should be punished!" The ministers on the city wall shouted angrily.

Jiang De snorted, the one standing close to Zhao Huan on the city wall is not a good thing, the louder these people scold, the happier he will be.

"Official, you asked Weichen, and Weichen will also come to ask you!" Jiang De shouted loudly.

"Weichen is the inner yellow cloth, the emperor is kind, the name of Donghuamen, and the admiration of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, the Liangshan Bo, loyal to the country, the heroes to the court, the arrows to fight the Jianghuai, first level Wang Qing, and then defeat Fang La, so that my Song people no one dares to bully at sea, to get the peace that has not been seen in the founding of the country for a hundred years, non-stop, people do not remove their armor, and have to report the war to Jinkou, first fight Dongming, and then fight Mu Huogang, fortunately blessed by God, kill thousands, tens of thousands of thieves, I want to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and hunt under the city with the kind of Xiang Guild, Conspired with Li Xianggong in the Northern Regions, fought hard with the world's heroes in the Central Plains, Kuang Sheji was in danger, and restored Yanyun in Hantu, but I don't know why today Jin Bing said that the imperial court had cut the land to offer gold to negotiate peace, and Weichen didn't believe it and wanted to chase it, but Lord Wang sent troops to block Weichen on the post, and Weichen was not allowed to pursue, so that the whole army of Jin Bing returned. Jiang De waved his hand violently, "Please also ask Your Majesty to speak up!" ”

"Your Majesty, please! Your Majesty, please speak up!! ”

Wu Song and the others shouted in unison, and the people around them also felt that there was probably really a treachery around the emperor, otherwise those students had only made trouble two days ago, and today this Hou Ye came to make trouble again, and he also shouted.

Jiang De looked at the people shouting around him, and recalled in his mind what he heard a bald old man say in the past, the common people are actually conformist, when they are alone, they tend to be vigilant and alert, but if it is a group of people, they will be driven by the atmosphere, blind and obedient, which is why cult missionaries often gather a large number of people to preach together, for this.

"Your Majesty, please speak up!" Jiang De used his internal strength and shouted loudly, Zhao Huan only felt stuffy in his chest when he heard it, seeing Zhao Huan like this, one person in the palace was very annoyed, pointed at Jiang De and shouted, "The Marquis of Pingyin is so persecuted, aren't you afraid of Youyou's mouth?" ”

Jiang De looked at the man, but he also recognized it, and arched his hand and said, "Lord Li, this battle could have retreated to the enemy to protect the land, but now he has cut the land and donated gold, as in the past, he still held his salary to fight the fire, the Jin people retreated today, and they will come back tomorrow, if they don't give the soldiers an explanation today, who is willing to risk the death of King Qin tomorrow?" How? Ben Hou risked his life to fight, but he had no success but was too much? ”

"You are raising soldiers and horses, and you are secretly an official, like a rebellion! Left and right, take it down for me!! Li Ruoshui didn't care anymore and shouted loudly.

Jiang De's eyes narrowed, and he shouted, "Your Majesty didn't say anything, who are you, you dare to say anything!" ”

Hearing Li Ruoshui say that he wanted to take Jiang De, Jiang De's iron cavalry pulled away all bows and arrows, facing those forbidden troops, ready to fight at any time, Wu Song put the blade on Wang Boyan's neck, as long as the war started, he would take Wang Boyan first.

When the people around saw that the fight was about to start, not only did they not run away, but they became even more excited, and many splashes shouted for fear that they would not be able to fight.

These pranksters know that as long as there is a mess, it is the time for them to get rich.

The forbidden army around looked at the murderous Jiang Dejun, and suddenly didn't dare to move, it's no wonder that the army that can fight has been taken away by the old species, and most of those who stayed have never seen the battle array, and in the face of the Jin army's siege, they can still rely on the city to throw some stones, but now they are looking at the swords, guns and arrows face to face, and they can stand and not retreat because Zhao Huan is watching from above.

The people around also felt that Jiang De's words were reasonable, this marquis asked about the official family, what did you say as a courtier, and then thinking about Jiang De's words just now, he felt that the official family was surrounded by traitorous ministers.

Li Ruoshui's face turned pale, and at this time, one person shouted, "Don't move troops, don't move troops!" ”

Everyone flashed out of a way, saw a person riding a horse, small steps, came to everyone, Jiang De saw that this person's hair and beard were white, and he couldn't help but think of the young people he saw in the past, time flies, and the brothers of the past may be difficult to sit together after today.

"Brother Boji!"

Li Gang looked at the mask in Jiang De's hand and sighed, he fell to the ground and shouted to Zhao Huan, "Official!" Although the Marquis of Pingyin has made mistakes, but he is dedicated to the country, since Zhao'an, the southern and northern wars, without complaints, and now the strong enemy of the Jin State is still there, and the official family is also asked to focus on the overall situation, and forgive it! ”

Zhao Huan's face was gloomy, unwilling to speak in front of so many people.

Jiang De pulled Li Gang up and said to the palace wall, "Since the official family doesn't love soldiers, only traitors, then they will leave here, but from today onwards, the traitors will pretend to be, please forgive me Shandong!" ”

After speaking, Jiang De turned over and shouted to his subordinates, "Present the head of the gold thief!" Out of town!! ”

Several carriages were pulled forward, and the heads of the carts rolled to the ground, and soon gathered into a small mountain, looking at such a hill, everyone couldn't help but wonder, the gold people seem to be able to be killed, so why do you want to cut the land and donate gold, Kaifeng from beggars to rich merchants, there is no official extortion because of donations, if you insist on resisting gold, do you don't need to pay for it, even if you pay money, it should be spent on these soldiers in front of you.

Jiang De led the cavalry to turn around and leave, Zhang Bangchang and the others wanted Zhao Huan to send troops, but they saw Zhao Huan staring at the thousands of people under the palace wall in a daze, and couldn't help but dare to speak.

Li Gang saw that Jiang De was leaving, and seeing that Zhao Huan was not blocked, he felt that it was okay for Jiang De to leave, so he caught up and said, "Zijun, you should camp outside for the time being, and when you become a brother, Your Majesty will definitely use it for you!" ”

Jiang De slowed down the war horse and asked with a smile, "Brother Tai, why should you deceive yourself?" I have a heavy army in my hands, where can the court tolerate me, the younger brother is still the same sentence, as long as Zhao Song is still in the day, I will not rebel, please brother Tai to sit in the court, I expect that the Jin army will come again next year, as long as the brother orders, I will send troops to the king! ”

Jiang De led the army out of the city with a swagger, the surrounding forbidden army sanitation, but no one dared to stop it, Jiang De came to the city gate, turned the horse's head, looked at Li Gang arched his hand, looked around, saw Yan Qing in costume, nodded, and then led the army away.

Not to mention how Jiang De led the troops back to Liangshan, and then watched Yan Zongwang go all the way to the north, and after meeting Yan Zongbi, he learned that the Pingyin army had won the Daimyo's Mansion, and he didn't dare to stay, and accelerated to the north, Lu Junyi didn't know the military situation, and didn't dare to risk sending troops, although Suo Chao and others repeatedly asked for battle, but they still sat down and watched Yan Zongwang leave, and when they got the news of Jiang De, they wanted to pursue and intercept again, but they had already seen the army led by the Daoist Institute to take the Daimyo's Mansion, and they couldn't help but give up again, and quickly withdrew to the north, wanting to take the letter of the country and take Hejian and Zhongshan.

The Planter Dao came to the Daimyo's Mansion and shouted to the city gate, "I am the Planter Dao, and I will recover the northern land by the holy decree, why don't you open the city gate soon?" ”

Yue Fei looked at the city and asked, "Senior Brother Lu, now that the imperial army has arrived, where are we going?" ”

Lu Junyi replied, "Master Hou has a secret letter, saying that the imperial court has known the truth of Liangshan, and wants me to go to Neihuang, take all the property, and move to Shandong." ”

"What? Don't want to be yellow? Wang Gui exclaimed.

Lu Junyi nodded and said, "But that's what Master Hou meant. ”

"How can this be? Neihuang is our home! Yukazuya shouted.

Lu Junyi explained, "The Daimyo's Mansion, Neihuang and other places are all flat and flat, and it is difficult to defend, if the enemy comes to attack, they can only be trapped in the city, so Hou Ye is like this." ”

Yue Fei also persuaded, "Don't worry, brothers, if the eldest brother does this, there must be his deep meaning, let's go to Neihuang with Senior Brother Lu." ”

Lu Junyi invited Liang Shijie and Zhang Shuye to explain their intentions, the two were puzzled, and tried to keep Lu Junyi and others, Lu Junyi excused himself and said, "We are here, there is no military order from the imperial court, and we have seen the old husband, but it makes it embarrassing, so it is better to go." ”

Yue Fei and other young generals also bowed their hands and said, "We are willing to escort General Lu away." ”

Uncle Zhang also persuaded him, but Liang Shijie understood something, he grabbed Uncle Zhang and said, "Okay, I'll help you wait to drag the old breed Xianggong." ”

Lu Junyi looked at Liang Shijie and said to Liang Shijie, "Liang Xianggong, can you take a step to speak." ”

Liang Shijie nodded, and came to the side with Lu Junyi.

"Liang Xianggong, now that the Emperor Taishang lives in the south of the Yangtze River, Master Cai and his son have lost power, how can the adults live here for a long time? We are under the care of adults on weekdays, and we can't bear to suffer from adults, so why don't we leave with us? Lu Junyi knew that Mrs. Cai took a lot of care about Jiang De, so it was so.

When Liang Shijie heard it, he was immediately overjoyed, he knew that Jiang De and others had a lot to do with Liang Shan, and he also saw the strength of the Pingyin Army, Lu Junyi and others were all generals, after Zhao Ji abdicated, many of the original relatives and ministers had been killed, Liang Shijie was also frightened, and now he can survive, where will he care about anything else, and hurriedly said yes, because the army was outside, Liang Shijie did not dare to bring more property, only brought gold, silver and jade, hung gold seals in the hall, held Mrs. Cai's hand, and sighed.

Mrs. Cai asked with tears in her eyes, "Is this really the case?" ”

Liang Shijie shook his head and sighed, "I am not as good as General Lu and others on the battlefield, but I understand the officialdom very well, since ancient times, the wall has fallen down and everyone has pushed it, once the son of heaven and a courtier, we all rely on the reputation of your father and brother, so we can entrench here for many years, the new emperor and your father and brother are not in harmony, and even if Wang Hao and others are not able to escape death, let alone a husband?"

Now that the Jin people have retreated, there will be a bloody storm in the court, so let's leave as soon as possible. ”

Mrs. Cai looked in the direction of the treasury and asked, "What about the money?" ”

Liang Shijie said reluctantly, "I heard that Liangshan is under the banner of doing the right thing for heaven, many local tyrants and shoddy gentry have been robbed of their homes and questioned for their crimes, and corrupt officials and corrupt officials are tied up in the middle of the night. ”

Lu Junyi led the army, out of the west gate, the master of the road probed, did not block, sat and waited for an hour later Uncle Zhang opened the city gate at night, before entering the city to count, when he learned about the things before and after the battle of the Daimyo's Mansion, he couldn't help but sigh to the left and right, "That Yue Fei has the material of a general, and he hates the children of my family." ”

When the seed master road in the Daimyo Mansion inventory, and all the way to the Daimyo's Mansion, it turned out to be in the seed division after the seed master road set off to arrive, the seed master said to the seed master said, "Now that the Jin people are returning to the north, they must want to take the opportunity to seize Zhongshan and Hejian two places, you and I soldiers are divided into two ways, take them respectively, remember, you must not let the two places be obtained by the Jin people." ”

The seed master knew that it was powerful, and parted ways with the seed master, and when he arrived at Hejian Mansion, he saw that Yan Zongbi led the army to attack endlessly, and Wan Yan Zongbi saw that there was a Song army behind him, and he was still fighting the Western Army and the seed flag, worried about the enemy on his back and back, and withdrew the army, and the same was true of the seed master road on the other side, so Hebei was preserved.

Wanyan Zong saw that the Song people actually did not keep their promises, and the Buddha beads of anger were about to be crushed, but the army had retreated, and the army's heart had been discharged, so he could only note in his heart that he sent Song Chen with the army to Taiyuan, he knew that Wanyan Zonghan had been attacking Taiyuan, hoping to take Taiyuan by this.

After returning to Yanyun, Wanyan Zongwang ordered Guo Yaoshi to cancel the establishment of the Changsheng army, sent fields and cattle seeds, and ordered the Yan people to cultivate, and selected elites to form a new army, which was stationed in Xiongzhou and other places.

- Inner yellow

Over the years, Neihuang has formed a group of businessmen with Jiang De and others as the core, these people's business has done many countries in the Liao and Song dynasties, and there are a lot of property, and the workshops are all over Henan and Hebei.

In Tianxiang Academy, there is no student at this time, all of them are gorgeously dressed businessmen.

A wealthy old man walked out of the door on crutches, met an acquaintance, and arched his hand, "Shopkeeper Yuan, are you also here to withdraw from the meeting?" ”

The shopkeeper Yuan laughed and said, "What kind of retreat?" I'm here to ask Chairman Wang if I can buy more shares. ”

"Buy more? Didn't you get the letter? This marquis has hated the court, we have a lot of contacts with Huaxing and the Yin Hou, and the court will come to blame soon, and it is too late to cut it clean at this time, so you still have to paste it? Are you also going to Shandong? The old man asked, puzzled.

The shopkeeper Yuan said, "I said, Tian Lao, where did you go to the northwest to sell salt and iron?" No one has done this loss-making business, and someone has done the business of killing heads, and I looked at the court, hehe, the number of qi is about the same. ”

"Shopkeeper Yuan, don't talk nonsense!"

"What? You still don't know? The imperial court has already cut the three places of Taiyuan to the Jin people, Yanyun has been occupied by the Jin people again, you have also listened to the current situation lesson in Tianxiang, this Central Plains sheltered land has been occupied by the Jin people, the Jin people come again, how to resist? President Wang wants to leave Neihuang, and why not see the sinister of this Neihuang in the future, this time because of the news in advance, and years of material accumulation, so it resisted the Jin people, and the Jin people will come again in the future, this Neihuang is a plain, how can it be stopped? ”

"This.... Oh! What you said is yes, this can hide from the imperial court, and it can't hide from the Jin people, it's just that, I don't have the face to go back to President Wang, so I'll pack up my family and go to Bashu for refuge. ”

In a barracks, Lu Junyi looked at the letter in his hand, nodded, and said to the generals sitting on the left and right, "Master Hou has come to order our army to return to Shandong quickly, and wait for the Jin soldiers to go south next year, and then reason." ”

- Gangnam

The news of the Jin army's retreat soon spread to Jiangnan, and this time, Zhao Ji was angry and beat his chest.

When Zhao Ji was in Hangzhou, he has been secretly inquiring about Kaifeng news, when he learned that Kaifeng not only did not fall, but the Jin people also retreated, that regret is too late to mention, now the emperor is someone else, he has become the emperor, don't think that the emperor seems to be higher than the emperor's position, this since ancient times there are few emperors who have lived in a good end, the most famous is the Zhao Wuling King who rode and shot in Hufu, he was simply starved to death, what do you say Zhao Ji should do with the emperor.

You must know that after Zhao Ji arrived in the south, he didn't have a minute to spare, he first intercepted all the materials, money and food that Jiangnan was supposed to send to the north, and then stopped the soldiers and horses who were preparing to go north to King Qin, and he was ready to rebuild a court at all.

Now Zhao Ji only hopes that his good son can be filial and sensible, the previous throne was just an expedient measure, and now that the Jin people have retired, is it time to return the throne.

Zhao Ji was even more worried that his good son was going to deal with him, he already knew the news that some of his cronies and courtiers who stayed in Kaifeng were killed, especially after the news that Liang Fangping, who was guarding the Yellow River, was caught and executed, which made Zhao Ji even more restless.

The bad news never seemed to be one, and soon the wind direction of Kaifeng changed.

When the Jin army was outside, everyone in the court was thinking about how to let the Jin people retreat as soon as possible, even if they gave more money and grain land, it didn't matter, but when the Jin army really left, these officials seemed to be a different person one by one, arguing about what land must not be missing, I don't know, I thought that these people were all shouting to fight to the death before.

Since they are all in the main battle, then someone has to take the blame for the previous matter of cutting the soil and offering gold, like Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan, who had negotiated with the Jin people before, not to mention, others such as Li Ye, Zheng Wangzhi and even Yuwen Xuzhong were either dismissed or demoted.

And the real main battle faction, such as Li Gang and others, was not reused, but Xu Churen, a person who only said no, was appointed as the prime minister.

Clear-eyed people in the DPRK and China understand that this Zhao Huan doesn't really want to fight, but is just tough verbally.

The news of Zhao Ji's wandering in Jiangnan also spread to Kaifeng, and Zhao Huan summoned Wu Min and Li Gang and asked, "Now that the emperor is in Jiangnan, he keeps sending letters to inquire about political affairs, but he has not come back, why is this?" ”

Wu Min didn't want to say more, but said, "I think it's because the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is better than the Central Plains, and the emperor is nostalgic and reluctant to return to Beijing." ”

Li Gang said, "The official family, this is just like an ordinary family, a large family of ordinary people, if something happens, the old man lets the child take charge of things, although he is relieved on his lips, but he is difficult to feel at ease in his heart, so he asks a lot, and there is nothing else." ”

Zhao Huan felt that there was some truth when he heard it, but he was still worried that Zhao Ji was greedy for the throne, so he said, "I have dealt with a lot of old people of the Emperor, and I am worried that the Emperor will have a bad idea about this." ”

Li Gang replied, "This matter is important in the open, the official family can write clearly why everyone was disposed of, and Weichen is willing to persuade the emperor to return to Kaifeng." ”

Zhao Huan was worried that Zhao Ji would set up a small court in the south of the Yangtze River, seeing that Li Gang was willing to go, he hurriedly did nothing, Li Gang found Zhao Ji with a letter, and told Zhao Ji the meaning of inviting him back to the palace, Zhao Ji first asked about the Kaifeng guard, when he learned that Jiang De was the Marquis of Pingyin, his face was also gloomy, and he left the palace, he also figured out a lot of things, Jiang De acted like this, he must have different intentions, he knew that Li Gang and Jiang De were good friends, so he did not show it, but just said, "Fortunately, there is the Marquis of Pingyin, otherwise Kaifeng is in danger." ”

Li Gang saw that Zhao Ji was worried about Kaifeng in his words, and persuaded again, "Now that the Jin army has retreated, the emperor should return to the capital to sit in the town, so that the Quartet is peaceful, Weichen has made an analogy in front of the official family, and now it is the old man of an ordinary big family who goes out, let the children take charge, and the children will inevitably do something that is not as good as the old man's intentions, but the old man should first encourage the children to retreat from the merits of the strong enemy, as for small things, if you want to investigate, where is there no mistake?" Leave it aside. ”

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "You retire the Jin soldiers first, and then reconcile my father and son, and leave your name in history." ”

Zhao Ji actually understood in his heart that now that the Jin army has retreated, the world will have no objections to Zhao Huan's throne, and he can't do anything outside anymore, so it's better to go back and take a look.

- Liang Shan

Jiang De, who returned to Liangshan, first coexisted with Huadiao and others for the first time, and when it was dawn, he pulled out of the tightly wrapped flesh, carefully dressed himself, and told the maid not to shout, and came to the study on the edge of the Juyi Hall.

The study was already full of paperwork to be processed, and he kept opening it to read and write the text.

After a while, Jiang De heard a sound of footsteps, he raised his head to look, and saw Li Zhong taking Xu Guanzhong, Zhu Wu and others inside, got up and asked, "But Senior Brother Lu has come back with the army?" ”

Xu Guanzhong arched his hand and smiled, "As Hou Ye thought, General Lu led the whole army back, and carried more than 100,000 people, stretching for dozens of miles, which is quite spectacular." ”

Jiang De nodded and said, "Since the people are willing to come to Shandong, they believe in me Liangshan, and what we have to do now is to settle these people." ”

Xu Guanzhong replied, "If it is only Yuncheng and other places, it is difficult to resettle more than 100,000 people, but if it is the whole of Shandong, it is simple. ”

Jiang De said with a smile, "I have the intention of sending troops, and now the Jin soldiers have got the sweetness, and when they come back next year, it will be the time to destroy the Song Dynasty, and I want to take the land of Shandong first." ”

Xu Guanzhong came to the map hanging on the wall and said, "Our army should first take all the Jingxi and West Roads, and get a corner of the world, I know that there is a seaport in Jimo, Laizhou, the water is deep and wide, and it can be expanded into a city, thinking that it is the foundation of these 100,000 merchants." ”

Jiang De looked at the place chosen by Xu Guanzhong and said with a smile, "Okay!" I've also thought of a name here, let's call it Qingdao. ”

After speaking, Jiang De came to the other wall and said, "Since Senior Brother Lu is back, let them work harder, and order his soldiers to go three ways, all the way to Qizhou, Zizhou, Qingzhou, Weizhou, Laizhou, Dengzhou, all the way to Yanzhou, Yizhou, Mizhou, all the way to Puzhou, Guangjijun and Jeju, three concurrent, half of the officials in these places are already my Liangshan dark line, I don't think there will be any resistance, if you meet someone loyal to the imperial court, you can't easily kill it, you should try your best to capture it alive and send it to Kaifeng." ”

Zhu Wu arched his hand and said, "The three-way soldiers and horses will win and be undefeated, and the only thing to worry about is the imperial court. We have just received the popular fast horse report, the imperial court named Li Gang as the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong and Hebei, and drove him out of the court, thinking that when the old minister returns to the army, he will start a war with our army. ”

Jiang De thought for a while and said, "Wait for me to write a letter and send someone to the old minister, and I will be able to ensure that Shandong is worry-free." ”

After speaking, Jiang De picked up a pen and paper letter, sent someone to send it to the planter, and then said, "The imperial court wants to send an army to attack me, and it will go out of Puzhou. ”

Zhu Wu arched his hand and said, "Please give the order to do this." ”

Jiang De nodded and said, "With Mr. Zhu Wu here, this matter can be done, Puzhou and Guangji Army are adjacent, the cement supply is convenient, the city can be built with cement and steel bars, and more batteries will be set up, I will transfer artillery and ordnance to help, but I don't know what kind of soldiers and horses Mr. needs?" ”

Zhu Wu thought for a while and said, "Puzhou has water and artillery, and Wei Dingguo and Shan Tingqi can be dispatched to garrison, and with the soldiers and horses led by these two people, even if the enemy has 100,000, Puzhou can be protected." ”

Jiang Deying said, "Okay, I will transfer Wei Dingguo to help you, and I will send President Wang to Qingdao to take charge of the overall situation, what do you think?" ”

Xu Guanzhong and the two looked at each other and smiled, "On the way, I also wanted to suggest that Hou Ye send President Wang to go, but I didn't expect Hou Ye to have a heart. ”

--Kaifeng

"How can this be justified, how can this be justified!!" Zhao Huan slammed all the bottles and cans on the table to the ground, he pointed at Li Gang and shouted, "This is the Marquis of Pingyin who you said has a monarch in his heart?" Liang Shijie hung up his crown and left, Neihuang ran east with the army of no less than 100,000 people, and the Pingyin army crossed the river with the people, who did he think he was? Liu Bei? Who am I? Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty? So who is Cao Cao? Who is Sun Quan? ”

Zhao Huan, who had just learned that Zhao Ji had returned to Kaifeng City, received the news that Lu Junyi led more than 100,000 people to Shandong, and he didn't know that Jiang De had sent troops to seize the lands of Shandong, otherwise Li Gang's head might not be able to be saved.

Li Gang's body trembled slightly, sighed in his heart, and slowly raised his head and said, "Official, since the Marquis of Pingyin said that as long as Zhao Song is in one day, he will never rebel, and it is expected that he will not dare to do anything rebellious. ”

"The golden soldiers have retreated! It doesn't matter!! Zhao Huan pointed at Li Gang for a long time, and finally sighed, "I will appoint you as the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong and Hebei, and you will go to the Daimyo Mansion to preside over the restoration of Hebei." ”

Li Gang looked at Zhao Huan for a long time, and bowed, "Weichen commands..."

- Taiyuan

Wanyan Zonghan defeated the rescued Western Army several times, but Taiyuan was still unable to conquer for a long time, Wang Yu and others worked together to defend the city, even if more than half of the casualties were killed at this time, they still did not surrender.

On this day, a team of chariots and horses came to the outside of Taiyuan City, and Wanyan Zonghan learned that it was Wanyan Zongwang's messenger, accompanied by the envoy of the Song State, and couldn't help but be shocked, "It's not good!" It must be Zongwang who has made a great contribution! Let them come in and talk. ”

After a while, a team of people walked in, first the messenger of Wanyan Zongwang sent a letter, and then slowly told Wanyan Zongwang about going south.

After listening to the messenger's words, Yan Zonghan shouted, "This time the credit has been obtained by Zongwang!" I'm mad at me! After speaking, Wanyan Zonghan looked at the Song envoy and asked, "You are the Song envoy?" What's your name? ”

The Song envoy bowed his hand and said, "Weichen is still in the military department, signing the book, and Lu Yundi is the secretary of the Privy Council." ”

"What a big official, so to speak, the soldiers of the Song State are all in charge of you? You can't manage it very well. Wanyan Zonghan asked.

Lu Yundi smiled bitterly: "The king is smiling." ”

Wanyan Zonghan pointed to the outside of the account and said, "Okay, you hurry up and go to the city, read out the holy decree of your Song Emperor, and let Wang Yu dedicate Taiyuan!" ”

Lu Yundi hurriedly said yes and left with Jin Jun.

Zhang Xiaochun, Wang Yu and others learned that an angel had arrived, and hurriedly came to the city gate, looked down, and recognized, Zhang Xiaochun shouted loudly, "Is the city under the road?" ”

Lu Yundi looked at Zhang Xiaochun, who still had blood stains on his hair and beard, where could he still see the demeanor of the celebrity that day, and then looked at the city, there was already purple, and couldn't help sighing, "Today, I know that it is not a lie to plug the swallow fat and condense the purple at night." ”

Lu Yundi shouted loudly, "It's the old man, the old man brought the holy will of the Son of Heaven, quickly burn incense and listen." ”

Wanyan Zonghan in the back looked at the incense case on the head of the city, and found tribute, under the siege of the city, where is there any tribute, and in the end he can only take some pancakes as a number, Wanyan Zonghan can see clearly, the pancakes are obviously green, obviously put wild vegetables or leaves, it can be seen that the grain and grass in the city are about to run out.

Lu Yundi took out the holy decree and read it aloud, the more the soldiers and people in the city heard it, the more angry they became, the meaning of this holy decree was to ask them to give Taiyuan to the Jin people.

"Isn't there a loyal minister in this court? Why don't the courtiers descend? But this court came down first? ”

"Haven't you heard of the Three Kingdoms? In the past, Jiang Wei guarded the city pass, didn't Liu Chan also surrender first? ”

"There is a traitor like Qian Zhou by Liu Chan's side, is there also a traitor around the official family?"

"Why not? Aren't Cai Jing and Tong Guan traitors? ”

There was a lot of discussion in the city, and everyone looked at Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Yu, waiting for their decision.

Zhang Xiaocun whispered to Wang Yu: "Look at Lord Lu's hands. ”

Wang Yu looked down carefully, and saw that Lu Yundi had a finger in his hand and kept swaying, and said with great joy in his heart: "This must be the imperial court's plan to delay the army!" ”

Zhang Xiaocun nodded, Wang Yu immediately stood up with a sword, and shouted to the left and right, "The monarch should protect the country and love the people, and the subjects should be loyal to the monarch and keep righteousness. ”

The soldiers and civilians on the left and right, who were already unwilling to surrender, were suddenly overjoyed, all holding weapons in their hands, raising their arms and shouting: "We are willing to follow the king to stick to the state, coexist with the city, and never retreat!" ”

Lu Yundi's heart was secretly relieved, but he still shouted, "This is the holy will, don't you respect it?" ”

Wang Xun, the son of Wang Yu, couldn't stand it for a long time, he pulled his bow and drew arrows and shouted at Lu Yundi, "If you don't retreat, let you see how good my Taiyuan arrows are." ”

Lu Yundi was so frightened that he turned his head and ran, the holy decree was thrown into a low voice, Wang Yu simply lit a rocket and shot it at the holy decree, and soon the holy decree burned into black ashes.

Wanyan Zonghan in the back saw Lu Yundi coming back with a disgraced face, and shouted angrily, he pointed to Taiyuan and said, "Siege!" Give me the siege!! ”

It was another day of fighting, the Song character banner at the head of Taiyuan City was still hanging high, Wanyan Zonghan had no choice but to return to the camp, and said to the left and right, "Now that Zongwang has withdrawn, we can't attack here for a long time, what should we do?" ”

Gao Qingyi arched his hand and said, "Marshal, our army has been tired in this battle, but today I see that the grain and grass in the city are already poor, it is better to besiege it, the army will return to China, and when the grain and grass in the city are exhausted, come and take it again, I think that the Song State promised me Taiyuan, and I did not dare to send troops to rescue without authorization, and then our army can pull out this place without effort!" ”

After Yan Zonghan waited for the ladder, clapped his hands and said, "What you said is very true, just like that!" ”

In February of the first year of Jingkang, Wanyan Zonghan left Wanyan Yinshu to continue to besiege Taiyuan, and the army retreated to Yunzhong, plus Wanyan Zongwang who returned to Yanyun, and the main force of the Jin army withdrew from the Song State.

The retreat of the main force of the Jin army allowed the Song Dynasty to see the opportunity to rescue Taiyuan again, Li Gang, Seed Master Dao and others respectively wrote to ask for the rescue of Taiyuan, Zhao Huan also hoped to rely on the imperial court soldiers and horses to win a battle to the people of the world, so he ordered the seed division from Hebei Jingcheng to the west, in addition to Yao Pingzhong's adoptive father Yao Gu and Zhang Xiaochun's son Zhang Hao respectively from Changzhi and Fenzhou to the north, the three armies were each other's horns, and the siege of Taiyuan was relieved.

Among the three of them, Zhongshi and Yao Gu are all veterans of the battlefield, although Zhang Hao has less experience, but in order to save his father, he is also willing to fight to the death, so everyone is optimistic about this rescue.

In the division of the East Route Army, there were few gold soldiers on the road, and Shouyang was quickly recovered, at this time the division knew that Yao Gu and Zhang Hao did not keep up, or that they could not find where the two armies were, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated to Jingcheng, in fact, such a situation was not uncommon in ancient wars, in the era when there was no radio, it was extremely dangerous to lose contact with friendly forces, and later the battle of the Ming army Salhu was because several soldiers and horses did not communicate with each other, and were broken by the Houjin each.

After the division retreated, I went to investigate, only to know that Yao Gu and Zhang Hao were indeed late in sending troops, and the reason for the late dispatch of troops was that the money and grain allocated by the imperial court were slow.

After giving Yan Zongwang a lot of money last time, almost all the money and grain in Kaifeng were exhausted, coupled with the loss of Qinwang's soldiers and horses everywhere, and the recovery of the people's livelihood in Hebei, it is really necessary to ask for money everywhere, and this money and food are not available, and the Song army, as a professional army, will never move.

In comparison, the warlord soldiers who owe a year's salary and are fighting in later generations are much more well-behaved.

When the money and food of the imperial court arrived, it was too late for the soldiers and horses of the second route to send troops again, and they were restrained by the silver technique, which was less than 3,000 cavalry, and the high mobility of the cavalry was played like fire and innocence, and the two Song troops were restrained and did not dare to move.

At this time, Wanyan Zonghan had just won a big victory.

This great victory was against Western Xia.

It turned out that Wanyan Zonghan sent an envoy to Xixia before, promising to cede Tiande and other four states and eight pavilions, and meet him to attack Linzhou, in order to contain the Western Army, Xixia was overjoyed, and sent troops to attack Tiande and other places, the local defender Zhu Zhaoli was defeated, and after killing the whole family, he died in battle, just when Xixia felt that he had picked up a bargain, Wanyan Zonghan rushed out of the army, and the autumn wind swept the leaves and drove back the Xixia army that did not sit firmly on the buttocks, and Xixia did not dare to be the enemy of Jin, so he could only break his teeth and swallow blood.

Wanyan Zonghan, who returned from a great victory, finally let out a bad breath, and got the news that the Song army was coming, knowing that the Song State was unwilling to give up Taiyuan, he couldn't help but be furious, and decided to teach the Song army a good lesson, stationed troops in the clouds, and waited for the opportunity.

After another half a month, the Song army's exploration horses finally found out the situation of the Jin army in Taiyuan and other places, and learned that there were indeed only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses that could be brought by Wanyan Yinshu, Kaifeng suddenly became excited, and from Zhao Huan to the Privy Council, he continued to urge the army in the division, and the Privy Council Governor Xu Han even reproached him for holding heavy troops but staying on the sidelines.

He was angry and ashamed, and said to the left and right, "It is a big crime in the army to fear the enemy and stay and not enter, I have been in the army since I was a child, and I have been fighting for many years, do I still have to bear this charge when I am old?" "Immediately pick up the elite and kill Taiyuan.

The division was in a hurry this time, and he didn't even bring anything to reward him, so he led the troops to set off lightly, and even at this time, the division didn't even know when his friendly army Yao Gu and other troops would send troops.

The planter is determined to die, and he really can't accept the infamy of being a deserter in his later years.

The traces of the army in the seed division were quickly detected by Yinshuke, and he was nervous now, but soon found that the army in the seed division was too hasty, and the baggage and materials brought were very small, as long as the back road was cut off, he could win without a fight.

Yinshu can send partial divisions to resist one after another, consume the sharp energy of the seed master, and lead the main force to rush to the back road of the seed master.

The letter in the seed master came to Yao Gu, Yao Gu was afraid that his old friend would be lost, so he hurriedly made an appointment with Zhang Hao, and the two roads were in harmony with each other and drove to Taiyuan.

The vanguard sent by Yao Gu this time was Jiao Anjie, who was afraid of the Jin soldiers and falsely claimed that the main force of the Jin army was looming, so that the two Yao Gu armies were marching step by step and did not dare to advance lightly.

- Shouyang

Huang You, the forward general in the seed division, looked at the surrounding terrain, and found that there were mountains everywhere, and the terrain was dangerous but not in himself. ”

The seed master took out a golden arrow from his arms with a wry smile and said, "The imperial court has just sent someone to urge our army to march, this is already the seventh way after our army sent troops, how do you say our army can retreat?" ”

Huang You stomped his feet and sighed, "So, we are going to die!" ”

The army continued to advance for a day, but it was not more than twenty miles, the weather was getting hotter, the Jin army continued to harass with light horses, the army was impetuous, and was walking, Huang You suddenly found that the army had stopped.

"Why not go to the army? Think military law is unfavorable? Huang You hurriedly came to the front and asked.

A group of sergeants with curly hair and beards saw Huang You, stretched out their hands and said, "It's good that the Han officials are here, we have all been pulling out for a few days, and we have fought some battles, why is there no money for the promotion that was promised before?" ”

When Huang You saw these people, he was immediately helpless and angry, these are the main force in the Western Army-Fanjun.

As the name suggests, the army is composed of nomadic tribes that served the Song Dynasty, and the reason why the Western Army is superior to all armies is that it mainly includes the Fan army and archers recruited from the northwest, but these are all recruits, and the professional army is more professional than the forbidden army.

But no matter how valuable face is, it's almost the same now, everyone knows that Taiyuan in front must be a big war, and you can't just leave on the battlefield, and now you don't need money, it's hard to get.

Huang You was helpless, and when he went to report to the division again, the army suddenly stopped.

There is no money in the planter, and his baggage is still behind, not to mention that even the money of the baggage is not enough, and the money and food of the imperial court cannot come down, where can he go to make money.

Knowing that there was no money among the planters, more than 2,000 people scattered all of a sudden, and Huang You, who was born in Jinshi, was stunned.

The strangeness in the army in the seed division made Yinshu can be quickly caught, he immediately decided, he attacked from the back, the general and Ni pressed from the direction of Taiyuan, attacked from both sides, surrounded the seed division at once, and used the cavalry and the mountainous terrain to divide the Song army into several pieces, the seed division led the army to fight to the death, but there was no money and food for the sergeant, the sergeant fled one after another, and so on two days later, there were less than 300 people left around the planter, and the seed master lamented and said, "Today Fang knows the defeat of Brother Shuhan!" He led the remaining 300 pro-troops to desperately rush to kill, and finally was hit by three guns, six arrows and one axe, and died in battle.

After Huang You was captured by He Nisheng, He Ni felt his bravery and persuaded him to surrender, Huang You scolded, and angrily He Ni tied him to a tree, smeared him with wax oil, and shouted, "If you don't surrender and die today!" ”

Huang You laughed and said, "Now that the sun is falling, it is really dead!" ”

He Ni couldn't help but be furious and burned him alive, and the news was transmitted back to Meipu Huangyou's house, and Huangyou's mother laughed and said, "Zhenwuziye!" The three-day banquet was called strange by outsiders.

The news of the defeat and death of the seed division spread, Yao Gu deeply regretted, and could only ask for guilt on his own, the Kaifeng court was shocked to learn that the seed master was forced to send troops because of the urging of the Privy Council, and he was angry and could not afford to hold the illness, and the soldiers and horses from all walks of life never dared to rescue the Taiyuan people again.

This time, the Jin Kingdom gained Yanyun and other fortress lands, and most of the states were also obtained, and countless money was obtained, and the whole Jin Kingdom was jubilant.

Some people are happy, and naturally some people are unhappy, and this unhappy one is Wanyan Zonghan.

Wanyan Zongwang is the first in this battle, naturally everyone admires it, and there are more people who believe in Buddhism from top to bottom of the Jin Kingdom, and what is even more fatal is that the sergeants of the East and West Route Army chatted and found that the difference is too great, the East Route Army basically did not have many hard battles along the way, but the money and food were innumerable, and the West Route Army fought hard for several months, and the prefectures and other places were poor, and there was not much oil and water at all, which made many of Wanyan Zonghan's subordinates complain.

Wanyan Zonghan saw that Taiyuan had not been defeated for a long time, and learned that the two towns of Zhongshan and Hejian had not obeyed the instructions on the letter of state to surrender, and he felt that the Song State had deceived the Jin State again.

After Yan Zonghan, he ordered Xiao Zhonggong, Zhao Lun and others to send envoys to the Song court, under the pretext of questioning the Song court for not fulfilling the peace agreement and treachery, in order to ask for gold and silver.
