10. Turn into Shandong

Su Shi Lie Zhining immediately ordered that the ships along the Yellow River should first be moored on the south bank of the Yellow River, and not a single ship should be left on the north bank. If there is a river crossing to the north bank, you must return to the south bank. In this way, the source of ships of the Song army will be completely cut off, and the Song army will be confined to the north bank of the Yellow River.

Secondly, the remnants of the various men and horses pursuing the Song army, including Pu Luxu and Sun Jing, were recruited and reorganized. It is divided into eight roads, each road has 10,000 horses, from Weizhou in the east, to Chuqiu in the west, stretching for six or seven hundred miles, the distance between the people and horses of each road is not more than 100 miles, and keep in touch at all times. Once it is found that the Song army can not fight, try not to fight, just keep an eye on the Song army, and then immediately notify the neighboring men and horses, and wait for all the people and horses to gather before attacking the Song army.

Fearing that the Song army would ambush the Jin army on the bank again, Sushi Lie Zhining forced all armies to cross the river in two batches when crossing the river. The Jin soldiers who crossed the Yellow River first must collect the coast, whether there is an ambush by the Song army, and be prepared to prevent the Song army from attacking by half-crossing.

This arrangement is that Sushi Lie Zhining completely absorbed the lessons of the last pursuit of the Song army: fighting separately, not breathing, crossing the river without boundaries, and so on. This time it can be said that it is well arranged and well prepared. At the same time, when the Song army was hopeless in crossing the river to the south, he desperately went north to attack Zhongdu, and ordered to report to Hebei and Zhongdu at an expedited speed of 800 miles, and the cities and counties of various prefectures and counties were on guard to prevent the Song army from attacking, and all parts of the same place also strengthened the search for the whereabouts of the Song army, and cooperated with the army to eliminate the Song army.

Although the newly reorganized people and horses, it took three days to survive Huang Er. But Su Shi Lie Zhining was still very satisfied with his arrangement, and felt that it was seamless. Although three days were wasted, as long as the Song army was still on the south bank of the Yellow River and in the land of Dajin, Su Shi Lie Zhining believed that as the Jin army's carpet search unfolded, the Song army would definitely not be able to escape. At this time, Su Shi Lie Zhining also regretted that if the pursuit of the Song army had been so well planned and arranged at the beginning, he might have eliminated the Song army long ago.

But the result of the pursuit was still an accident for Shi Lie Zhining. After the Jin army crossed the Yellow River, it carefully carried out a carpet search for five days, advancing nearly 700 miles as a whole, and even the general camp of the Song army was moved to the north bank of the Yellow River, but no trace of the Song army was found, and the Song army seemed to have evaporated from the world.

However, what made Su Shi Lie Zhining even more troublesome was that although he did not find the Song army, all kinds of gossip were spreading rapidly in Hebei, Zhongdu, and Shandong, and it was spreading in detail, becoming more and more intense and bizarre.

There is news that the white-robed army has already crossed the Yellow River unknowingly, returned to the south bank of the Yellow River, and then returned to the territory of the Song State safely, and some say that the white-robed army did not stay in Hebei, but turned west to Shaanxi, and returned to the Southern Song Dynasty through Sichuan. In short, in the legend, the white-robed army walked all the roads that could be walked.

These statements are still somewhat reliable, and some of them are completely out of bounds, what white-robed army used the Five Elements Method, and there is no trace. Or what Wuding opened the mountain, Liujia moved to the sea, Taishang Laojun, and the Buddha came to the lower realm to help the white-robed army. When Su Shi Lie Zhining heard this, he was so angry that he smoked.

But Fu Shi Lie Zhining didn't know at this time that since the expedition of the white-robed army to Heiyang Mountain, the advantages of the cavalry army have been brought into full play, fast as lightning, moving like thunder, and unpredictable, and they have won consecutive battles along the way. What is even more terrifying is that the Jin soldiers are not left to be captured at all, and it is completely the momentum of killing them all, so now in Hebei and Zhongdu Zhulu, there is a fear of the white-robed army that is shaking the rapid Manting. And the more it spreads, the more terrifying it becomes: all the white-robed soldiers are fierce and vicious, with swords and guns inferior, with horns on the horse's head and scales under their hooves. Ju said that Yang Yan, the commander of the white-robed army, was two feet tall, with a big head like a bucket, a green face and teeth, eating human flesh raw, thirsty for human blood, and leaving no chickens and dogs wherever he went, so as to slaughter several cities and so on. For a while, people were panicked, and at the mention of the three words of the white-robed army, even a three-year-old child did not dare to cry.

Although they had never attacked a single city since the expedition of the Pao Army, the prefectures and counties of Hebei and Zhongdu were all on the verge of a great enemy and were on strict alert, lest the white-robed army be killed. And the bandits, bandits, and robbers of the green forest from all over the country followed suit, and they were all bought and sold in white robes. The officers and soldiers guarding various places even avoided it as soon as they saw the white robes, and there were once three or four hundred horse thieves who were robbed by the white robes in a row, and no one dared to stop them. All of a sudden, no less than ten white-robed armies appeared in the territory of Dajin Kingdom.

Every day, Sushi Lie Zhining can receive news from all over the white-robed army, one will be on Hebei Road, one will be on Zhongdu Road, and the farthest place will be to Huining Mansion. The number of people also increased all the way, from five or six thousand to one or two thousand, then to four or fifty thousand, to seven or eighty thousand. even issued a document to report to Sushi Lie Zhining: On × of the × month, 200,000 Song troops attacked × in white robes, hoping to send reinforcements as soon as possible. In fact, it later became clear that it was just four or five thousand bandits.

He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but after he calmed down, he was thinking, "Where did the white-robed army go?"

Sitting in the big tent of the main camp, Su Shi Lie Zhining began to have a headache again. The crossing of the Yellow River still resolutely carried out the orders of Sushi Lie Zhining, and all the ships stopped on the south bank of the Yellow River at once, "At least until now, there is no news that the Song army has crossed the Yellow River again, which shows that the Zipao army is still on the north bank of the Yellow River, so where is the Song army hiding?" You just can't find Song Jun for a long time? Are we not searching carefully enough? Impossible! The Song army was not a few dozen or a few hundred, but six or seven thousand people, more than ten thousand horses, which was not a small number, and it was impossible to hide in an inconspicuous place. Or did the Song army go further north, and we haven't searched for it yet? But there is no trace of the white-robed army in the state city near Zhongdu Road! However, this may not be said, because the search range of the state city cannot be too far away from the city, and it is impossible for the white-robed army to hide in a place further north. ”

"Or the Song army returned to the Song Kingdom from another road, which one is the road? Daikin's land is so big? It seems that every road is possible! Even with an army of millions, it is impossible to block every road. ”

If Su Shi Lie Zhining knew that the white-robed army was hiding in Nacheng now, he was afraid that he would be so angry that he would vomit blood on the spot.

After defeating the Jin army at the Dongming Ferry, Yang Yan immediately led the Song army across the Yellow River and reached the north bank of the Yellow River. At this time, Yang Yan was sure that he would make Jin Jun dizzy, and he would not be able to adjust it in three or four days. This period of time was the time to get rid of the Jin army, so Yang Yan immediately led the army to the northeast to travel day and night, all the way. For three days and two nights, dozens of horses were killed along the way, and some wounded soldiers were also killed because they could not hold on, and finally walked out of more than 800 miles, according to the map provided by Wan Xiansheng, jumped over the Taishan Mountains, and arrived at the Linzi area of Shandong East Road.

Because the roads are all mountain roads and dense forests, and the prefectures and counties of the Jin Kingdom are strictly guarding the cities, and the occasional pedestrians encountered on the road are also mercilessly killed, so the whereabouts of the Song army have not been discovered. Ren Fushi Lie Zhining turned the area around Hebei and Zhongdu Road upside down, and he couldn't find the whereabouts of the Song army.

The whole Shandong is bounded by Mount Tai, divided into Shandong East Road and Shandong East Road, and there are many mountainous areas in Linzi. When the Song army walked to the Shangshan area, he was already tired and sleepy. But out of trust in Yang Yan, the whole army gritted its teeth and insisted on advancing.

As the centaurs were marching, an arrow suddenly "swished" from the depths of the dense forest, and was staring at a large tree on the side of the road. The Song army was scratching for a while, although they were all exhausted, but at this time they all instinctively cheered up, each holding their weapons tightly, the knives were unsheathed, and the arrows were wound and stared at the direction where the arrows were flying. Even Yang Yan's hand held the hilt of the "Wind Forest Volcano".

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and dozens of horses ran out of the dense forest, and the people on the horses were all covered with green pads, wearing red jackets and arrow sleeves, and each holding a sword and gun. The leader is a thirty-year-old man, who also has a green pad on his head, but he also wears a leather armor in addition to the red jacket, with tiger eyes and a slight beard.

When they were still more than 20 steps away from the Song army, they all stopped, and the man at the head looked at the Song army, arched his hand and asked, "Is it the white-robed army who is coming?" Is your leader Yang Yan? ”

Yang Yan urged the horse to come out and said, "I am Yang Yan, who are you?" ”

When the man heard this, he immediately stretched out his hands, stretched out his five fingers with his left hand, palms forward, and clenched his right hand into a fist and stretched out his index finger to point to the sky.

When Yang Yan saw that this gesture was the code agreed with Wan Xiansheng, he also put his mind at ease. He also stretched out his hands, stretched out his five fingers with his left hand, palms back, and his right hand clenched into a fist and stretched out his index finger to the ground.

When the man saw this, he immediately dismounted, came to Yang Yan's horse, clasped his hands into fists and saluted: "It turns out that it is really the white-robed army, and below it is Yang An'er of the Shandong Red Army, entrusted by Wan Xiansheng Wan to answer General Yang here." ”

Yang Yan also jumped off Hai Dongqing and said with a smile: "It turned out that Yang Da was in charge, and he was disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

Yang An'er said: "These days, the prestige of General Yang and the white-robed army is like thunder, and the Jin people are terrified. When we heard that the whole cottage was impressed, they all said: If there are more people like General Yang in the Great Song Dynasty, why worry about not returning the gold people? Five days ago, Mr. Wan came to our cottage and told us that the white-robed army would come to the border of Shandong and asked us to meet General Yang. In the past few days, I have sent my brothers to inquire about the whereabouts of the white-robed army, and I don't want to be encountered here. ”

Yang Yan said: "Great, I really want to thank the big master." ”

Yang An'er looked at Song Jun carefully at this time and said, "Why haven't you been white-robed?" ”

Yang Yan said with a smile: "I teach my brothers to put on white robes, but I actually hope to cause the Jin people to misunderstand us, thinking that the white robe is our symbol. Confuse the eyes and ears of the golden man. In this way, when we are not in the white robe, it is easy to be ignored by the golden people, and the chance of being discovered by the golden people is smaller. ”

Yang An'er suddenly realized and laughed: "I see, no wonder General Yang can crisscross both sides of the Yellow River with thousands of men and horses, and treat the 100,000 army of Zhining as nothing. Okay, let's go with me to the cottage and talk about it in detail. ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "There is a big boss." ”

The Red Jackets were not a unified armed group per se, but rather a group of people who fought independently and sometimes cooperatively. However, the Red Jacket Army was different from other green forest heroes, and they were mostly farmers, tenants, excavators, and low-class traders who were oppressed by the upper class of the Jin State. Therefore, from the very beginning of the uprising, the banner of anti-Kim was unambiguous. Attack the state and seize the county, instead of defending a mountain.

The various units of the Red Jacket Army were strong in Yang An'er, Li Quan, Liu Erzu, Fang Guosan, Zhou Yuan'er, Li Wang, and Hao Ding. Among them, Yang An'er married his sister Yang Miaozhen to Li Quan, and the two became brothers-in-law, joined the army, and the momentum was great, surpassing the other departments, and Liu Qingfu, Guoanyong, Zheng Yande, Tian Si, Yu Yang, Yu Tan and other small stocks joined one after another, becoming the strongest part of the Red Jacket Army. Now there are more than 15,000 people, living in Shangshan, and are planning to carry out Linzi as a base.

Because of this, Yang An'er was also willing to get close to the Song Dynasty and be recruited by the Song Dynasty, in case of failure, there would be a way out. Just as Wan Xiansheng came to the cottage and asked them to pick up Song Jun, Yang An'er immediately agreed.

Yang An'er took the Song army to a very hidden mountain valley area in the back mountain. Twenty miles away from the cottage of the Red Jacket Army. The terrain here is flat, there is a mountain stream, and more than a dozen thatched huts have been lived in the mountains in the past, and now they have joined the Red Jacket Army and live in the cottages. So let Song Jun rest.
