In fact, the so-called famous teacher is to have a moral coat, and the real thing is strength, and with strength, no excuse can be used.

However, in order to reduce his infamy, in order to make it easier for those literati to package themselves, the excuse still can't be used.

Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, in order not to delay things, and in order to show closeness, in private, Li Yan and his close ministers have made it clear, "This time we want to enter the Central Plains and become Chinese orthodoxy." ”

Liu Qi, as the starting general selected by Li Yan, naturally understands Li Yan's meaning best.

Therefore, Liu Qi did not dare to delay for a moment, and advanced westward at the first time.

As for the more than 10,000 horses in Qingzhou, let alone Sun Jing to deal with it, even without Sun Jing, they would never dare to block the road of this 30,000 or 40,000 army with nearly 30,000 horses.

The march of the former army was very fast - after crossing the Jiaolai River, it took only six days to cross the Hedong East Road to the Hexi East Road.

Along the way, the front army imitated a no-man's land, and did not encounter a single resistance force.

This made Liu Qi, who was careful all the way, wonder!

Later, after the sentinel caught a few defeated soldiers and interrogated them, Liu Qi learned that all the Song troops on Jingdong East Road and Jingdong West Road were taken by Zhao Gou to Kaide Mansion to join Zongze.

This is good news for Liu Qi - aside from the fact that this can give Shuibo Liangshan more advantages, to be honest, from the bottom of his heart, Liu Qi does not want to fight with Song Jun.

Of course, this was inevitable, so if necessary, Liu Qi would not hesitate to go to war against the Song army.

Liu Qi ordered the army to speed up again, and strive to reach Jeju Prefecture as soon as possible.

A big war of this level will not work without a fixed base camp.

The civil and military forces of Supo Yangsan held many meetings before deciding to make Jeju as the front-line base camp of the Yangsan Army.

There are many reasons to choose Jeju as your home base:

First of all, Yangsanbo is in Jeju Mansion, back then, Li Yan gave countless grains here to ensure the stability of this place for several years, and even now, no one dares to come here to spread wild, therefore, Shuibo Yangsan has the best mass base here.

Secondly, the transportation of Jeju Province is well connected in all directions, and not only the land route is developed, but also the waterway is developed, and the base camp is placed here, and the strategic depth of the Yangsan Army, which is good at water warfare, will be greatly increased.

Again, it was not far from Tokyo - the Ma army let go of the run, and it would not take three days to reach Tokyo, and it was just the right time to deal with all kinds of surprise attacks.

Secondly, if the Liangshan army wants to go further, I am afraid it will not be easy to do it - further forward is Kaide Mansion, where Zong Ze hoarded more than 20,000 people and horses, and where 20,000 men and horses who have repeatedly defeated the Jin army.

(At that time, when this plan was formulated, Zhao Gou was still in Xiangzhou.) ）

Now, Zhao Gou took more than 20,000 people to Kaide Mansion, and the Generalissimo's Mansion now has an army of 40,000 or 50,000.

In this way, Liang Shanjun could not easily step forward.

Therefore, Jeju is the first target of the former army's march.

……

Ka Duc Province.

Knowing that Zhao Gou personally brought more than 20,000 horses to join him, the veteran Zong Ze was extremely happy and led a thousand elite men and horses to meet Zhao Gou ten miles away.

And yet—

To Zong Ze's surprise, his gesture of favor was regarded by Zhao Gou and others as Yaobing.

Although Zhao Gou didn't show anything on his face, he was secretly vigilant in his heart!

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the sudden dispatch of troops by the Liangshan Army, Zhao Gou would not have come to Kaide Mansion to join forces with Zong Ze.

At the beginning, not long after Zhao Gou formed the Generalissimo's Mansion, Deputy Marshal Zong Ze came to join Zhao Gou with Cizhou soldiers and horses, and then said to Zhao Gou: "The Beijing Division has been besieged for a long time, and it is urgent to rescue the Beijing Division. After that, he urged Zhao Gou to rescue Tokyo Bianliang.

But at that time, it happened that Cao Fu, the secretary of the Privy Council, came from Tokyo with a wax seal Zhao Huan's secret edict, saying that peace could be achieved.

Zong Ze said again: "The Jin people are cunning, this is just trying to deceive our army." The monarch's father hoped for rescue, which was better than hunger and thirst, and he should hurry up and order his troops to go straight to the abyss and build fortifications in turn to relieve the siege of the capital. In case the enemy has another plot, our troops are already under the city. ”

At that time, the people of the Generalissimo's Mansion were unwilling to fight with the powerful Jin army, so they persuaded Zhao Gou to send Zong Ze first.

The scene of Cizhou beating Wang Yun to death and forcing Zhao Gou to return to Cizhou, Zhao Gou remembers it vividly, and he is still in his mind, so let's say it, Zhao Gou has no good impression of the people of Cizhou, and even he doesn't like Zong Ze, the chief official of Cizhou at that time, so Zhao Gou listened to the opinions of Wang Boyan and others, and kicked Zong Ze to Kaide Mansion.

Since then, the Marshal's Mansion has been divided into two.

Unexpectedly, Zong Ze went to Kaide Mansion and fought thirteen battles with the Jin people, all of which were won.

Zong Ze then sent a letter to advise Zhao to order Zhudao to join forces in Tokyo.

Not only that, Zong Ze also sent a letter to Zhao Ye, the governor of the North Province, Fan Ne, the Xuanfu envoy of the North Hebei Road, and Zeng Mao, the Zhixingren Mansion, asking them to join forces to rescue the Beijing Division.

Zhao Ye, Fan Ne, and Zeng Mao all thought that Zong Ze was arrogant and ignored him.

Zhao Gou didn't intend to ignore Zong Ze either.

But at this time, the Liangshan army arrived, and Zhao Gou didn't dare to stay in Hebei and Shandong anymore, so he came to Kaide Mansion to join forces with Zongze.

During this time, Zhao Gou has experienced many major events and has grown into a very mature politician, so he can hide his true thoughts very well.

Far away, Zhao Gou dismounted, and then greeted Zong Ze, and said as he walked: "The old general is really the mainstay of the Great Song Dynasty, and he fought thirteen bloody battles with the gold thief, winning every battle, and greatly increasing the prestige of my Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Goodbye Zhao Gou, Zong Ze is also very happy!

Zhao Gou is extraordinary, breaking into the golden camp alone, with the spirit of Taizu and Taizong, Zong Ze said in his heart: "The Great Song Dynasty is afraid that it will eventually fall on the shoulders of King Kang." ”

Zong Ze said: "The generalissimo has an excessive reputation, this is the duty of the ministers. ”

Zhao Gou said: "The old general is not arrogant, and he is a true gentleman!" ”

Zong Ze was even happier when he heard this, and said, "Generalissimo praises falsely. ”

Glancing at the boundless men and horses brought by Zhao Gou, Zong Ze said happily: "With more than 20,000 people and horses brought by the generalissimo, plus 20,000 horses under the control of the ministers, we can finally go to the rescue of Jingshi." ”

Hearing Zong Ze's words, the smile on Zhao Gou's face froze!

However, Zhao Gou quickly smiled again and said: "This matter is not in a hurry, let's talk about it later, come on, come on, this king will introduce a few loyal generals like the old general to the old general." ”

Hearing Zhao Gou say that there was no hurry to rescue Tokyo, Zong Ze's brows were furrowed!

Now, the outer city of Bianliang City has been broken by the gold thieves, Zhao Huan has been detained by the Jin people in the gold camp, Bianliang City may not be completely breached when it will be completely breached, and then the people in Bianliang City will suffer a catastrophe, it can be said that the rescue of Tokyo is already an urgent matter of 100,000 fires, how to get to Zhao Gou here, this matter has become not urgent?

As if he didn't see Zong Ze's frowning brows, Zhao Gou continued to introduce Zong Ze to the military generals of Wenchen who had recently joined the Generalissimo's Mansion.

After Zong Ze patiently got to know these newcomers one by one, he found a gap and said again: "Generalissimo, when will we start the army to serve the king?" ”

Zhao Gou was unhappy in his heart, but he still suppressed the true thoughts in his heart, and whispered to Zong Ze: "Does the old general know that Li Yan's thief has taken advantage of the fire to rob him?" ”
