Hundreds of people stationed in the Yinsha Dock Fort did not stop for long, in Niu Gao led the army to kill, half an hour, it was broken by the Yue army, the guards Tang Fei, Xu Ze and other hundreds of people were killed, and the entire Dock Fort did not leave any alive.

Yue Fei's face was gloomy, standing in front of the dock fort, looking at the ruins in front of him, he felt a chill in his heart, even in the face of hundreds of times the enemy's attack, no one in the weak Li Tang army surrendered, and the defense of hundreds of people made the Yue family army pay several times the casualties. Although Yue Fei could still accept this casualty, Yue Fei felt a chill when he thought of Li Tang's army's attack of sacrificing his life and death.

"Big brother." Zhang Xian led the generals over and said, "There are still some people, according to the rules of the eldest brother, these people have been let go, but. ”

"Just let it go, these people follow Li Jing's side and get Li Jing's great benefits, I'm afraid they won't miss our good." Yue Fei said indifferently: "It's just that the people are the people, and after seeing the hearts of the people over time, they will definitely thank us for their kindness in the future, and they will definitely support Your Majesty." ”

"Hmph, big brother is just good at talking, those people? The tone is very bad. Niu Gao said with a slight dissatisfaction: "I don't know how Li Jing deceived them, and actually made them so loyal and grateful to Li Jing." ”

"Hmph, what Li Jing is best at is disguise, not only these people, but also these soldiers, you all see, hundreds of people have died here, even if there is only the last person, they have not surrendered, this is how strong, Li Jing has such soldiers, it is shocking." Yue Fei's expression was a little depressed, he thought that Li Jing usurped the throne, and the righteous people in the world would not support him, but what he didn't expect was that Li Jing's soldiers were so loyal that they didn't surrender until the last one.

"I heard that Li Jing is very concerned about Li Tang's soldiers, the soldiers are treated very well, not only the fields are divided, even the taxes are less than ordinary people, the generals in the army have a very good status in the court, and most of the dukes canonized by Li Jing are military generals." Zhang Xian couldn't help but say. This is different from the Southern Song Dynasty, the status of the military generals in the Southern Song Dynasty army is still not very good, even if Yue Fei is only a higher official, but when he sees a civil official, he still feels a lower grade. Zhang Xian and others also felt aggrieved.

"Li Jing seized the world by force, that's why he is like this, hum, the scholars in the world don't like him, he can only rely on military generals, domineering and domineering, and he will be killed by righteous people sooner or later." Yue Fei couldn't help but snort coldly, in fact, he didn't feel good in his heart, since the failure of the conquest of Fang Baihua, Yue Fei felt the changes in the court, many civil and military officers were suspicious of him, and even Zhao Gou was a little dissatisfied with himself. But these words cannot be spoken, so as not to shake the morale of the army.

"It's a pity that Lin Chong still got the news, otherwise we can continue to move forward, and even sneak attack some cities." Dong Xian said with some regret.

"Lin Chong exchanged space for time, moved the general's mansion from Yangzhou to Huai'an, in fact, to avoid being persecuted by our army, as long as he guarded Huai'an and blocked our army from harassing Bianjing, he succeeded, and we left Jiangnan, it was more difficult to carry grain and grass, his sailors were all over the Jianghuai waters, and they did not compete with us on the Yangtze River, just to harass our grain route." Yue Fei sighed and said: "Now the hearts of the people between Jianghuai are all in the hands of Li Jing, which is not good for our actions, we have crossed the Yangtze River here, Han Shizhong may not be able to occupy Jiangdu, Jiangdu has an army of 50,000 people, Lin Chong is guarded by the general Yang Zhi, it is rumored that he can only defend, not attack, although Han Shizhong has a lot of soldiers and horses, but he may not be able to capture Jiangdu, without the support of Jiangdu, how long can our tens of thousands last, even I don't know." ”

"General rest assured, Han Shizhong is resourceful, Yang Zhi is just a martial artist, as long as he uses a little strategy, he will definitely be able to lure Yang Zhi into battle." Zhang Xian comforted. Li Jing has many fierce generals, but he is only a fierce general, and he is a little worse at commanding operations.

"I hope so." Yue Fei didn't know why, he was still a little worried in his heart, but he thought about it carefully, but he didn't know where this worry came from. He could only shake his head, put this uneasiness aside, and said to Zhang Xian: "Continue to reorganize the army and attack Taixing in the north, Lin Chong may be able to know the news soon, but this is far away from Huai'an, and by the time Lin Chong gets the news, I'm afraid we have already arrived at the Gaoyou army, and Han Shizhong's soldiers and horses have already joined us."

Zhang Xian and the others nodded again and again, did not dare to slack off, and quickly ordered the army to continue to go north, the battle of Yinsha was just a small war, and the army did not lose much, but in half an hour, the army set off from the village and killed Taixing.

And far away in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Zhenwei Hou Yang Zhi led 50,000 troops to sit in Jiangdu, which is different from Yangzhou in the past, Yangzhou at this time is like a military town, Yang Zhi can't govern the state and county, but it is still possible to build a huge military town, in the end, it is the descendants of the Yang generals, courage is only one aspect, control the army, stick to one side, Yang Zhi is still okay.

In the hall of the palace, Yang Zhi led the generals to look at the huge sand table map in front of him, which marked the geographical capital of the mountains and rivers around the entire Jiangdu City very clearly, which was an important combat tool made by Yang Zhi after entering the Jiangdu with the help of the secret guards.

"General Yang. The general called me? Under the dripping eaves, a young man in a crimson official robe strode over, he is Yin Yuqi of Jiangdu Mansion, talking about his origin is not simple, he is the father of the famous Confucian Yu Yunwen in history, but in the Zhao and Song dynasties, he was a doctor of Taichang and a judge of Tongchuan Road, and after returning to Li Jing, Li Jing made him the prefect of Jiangdu. It is used to assist Yang Zhi and deal with literary affairs.

"Lord Yu, the secret guard has come to report that Han Shizhong has led 80,000 people to cross the Yangtze River, and he will come to the Jiangdu City soon." Yang Zhi hurriedly pulled Yu Qi over, pointed to the sand table in front of him, and said: "Although I haven't received the order of the British Duke yet, according to the original order, I'm afraid my main purpose this time is to defend Jiangdu." So I want to ask you, is there enough food in Jiangdu? ”

"The general rest assured, Jiangdu is a military town, after the general came, the lower officials began to order people to collect grain and grass, which can make our tens of thousands of troops last for half a year, I believe that although Han Shizhong is powerful, it is still very difficult to block us in Jiangdu City for half a year." Yu Qi looked at the sand table in front of him and said, "It's a pity, if a sailor comes to help, we may not be able to block Han Shizhong in the river." ”

"If it's blocked in the river, I'm afraid it won't work." Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's consistent intention is to let Yue Fei go and attack other enemies, if Yue Fei attacks Jiangdu at this time, I'm afraid I can only evacuate Jiangdu, simply Han Shizhong came to attack, this is a good fight." ”

Yu Qi didn't say anything, he didn't know why Li Jing did this, he only knew that Li Jing attached great importance to Yue Fei. Since Li Jing has done this, he must have his own reasons, as long as he takes care of his own affairs. At the moment, he said: "I immediately ordered the people in the city to stock up more grain, and those merchants, not to raise prices, at least not to let those people go hungry." ”

"That's not going to happen, Your Majesty has already written to me, he has already transferred the Mobei cavalry to the south, whether it is Han Shizhong or Yue Fei, it won't last long in Jiangbei." Yang Zhi thought of something and said.

"General, there's a woman outside asking to see you." Yu Qi was about to speak, when suddenly a servant walked in, with a strange expression, holding a sword in his hand, and said: "She said that her name is Fang Baihua, and the general will know her origin after hearing her name." ”

Yang Zhi's face was stunned, of course he knew Fang Baihua's name, and Yu Qi glanced at each other for a while, Yu Qi was also surprised, he didn't expect Fang Baihua to appear here.

"Whether it's true or not, just go and meet us first, if it's really Fang Niangniang who comes, you and I won't be well received, and those ministers in the court won't let us go." Yu Qi couldn't help but ask.

Yang Zhi nodded, and suddenly said: "Fang Niangniang can hold out in the south for several years, and her military ability is far above my Yang Zhi. Go and greet Fang Niangniang. A smile bloomed on Yang Zhihei's face, and he pulled Yu Qi out of the lobby.

As soon as the two of them came out of the shadow wall, they saw a woman in white under the eaves of the mansion, walking around with a sword in her hand, and Yang Zhi immediately recognized the other party as Fang Baihua.

"Chen Yang Zhi (Yu Qi) meets Niangniang." Yang Zhi and Yu Qi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay a visit.

"You don't have to be polite, I just came to Jiangdu for a walk, I was going to go out of the city and return to Bianjing, but I didn't expect the city gate to be closed, saying that Han Shizhong came to attack?" Fang Baihua helped the two of them up and said with a wry smile. Not long ago, she entered the Central Plains by sea and went up the river, originally thinking of going north by land, but there were many bandits in the Ludi area, and then she decided to go north from the canal, which is why she has today's scene.

"Han Shizhong and Yue Fei led nearly 200,000 troops to the north, taking advantage of the opportunity of His Majesty to recover Ludi, wanting to seize the land of Jianghuai, Han Shizhong led 80,000 people to cross the Yangtze River and come to the capital of the river, and the last general can only order someone to temporarily close the city gate." Yang Zhi hurriedly said.

"I see." Fang Baihua looked at Yang Zhi's appearance, and suddenly smiled: "Looking at General Yang's appearance, I believe that he is already in the chest." ”

"The last general doesn't dare to be, with a mother coming, the last general can be so easy." Yang Zhi hurriedly said: "Charge into battle, the last general is okay, but the only party, the minister is still a little worse, before the mother came, the last general was cautious, for fear of ruining His Majesty's big affairs, now that the mother is here, the last general will be much more relieved." ”

"The general laughed, the Yang family is famous all over the world!" Fang Baihua said as she entered the lobby.

"Niangniang, this is the defense map of Jiangdu City, the minister has made sufficient preparations, just waiting for Han Shizhong to come to the door." Yang Zhi pointed to the sand table in front of him and said.

"Jiangdu City is tall and strong, although Han Shizhong has a lot of soldiers and horses, but he may not be able to break through Yangzhou, but what if there is an internal response? How is the general prepared for good? Fang Baihua looked at the sand table in front of him and nodded, although Yang Zhi is a martial artist and has a relatively impatient personality, but the ability to fight left over by the Yang family is not much less.

"Mother is talking about those wrestlers on the docks?" Yu Qi hurriedly explained: "The minister has asked people to separate their identities, and all those who are suspicious will isolate them in one area and send troops to protect them. ”

"Yes, I also used this trick in Hangzhou City back then, but unfortunately it was seen through by His Majesty, and this time Han Shizhong may not be able to use it." Fang Baihua nodded and said: "In addition to the wrestlers on the dock, there are also business travelers, Jiangdu City is the confluence of the Yangtze River and the canal, there are many business travelers from the south to the north, and the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty also encourages business, many business travelers often haunt the homes of dignitaries, among these people, there may not be no people who are loyal to Zhao Gou, one by one, the business travelers appear in the city, do not attack the city gate, and set fire to it, which is enough to make the city chaotic for a while." ”

Yang Zhi and Yu Qi glanced at each other, their faces changed slightly, and they hurriedly said: "What Niangniang said is very true, the minister will send someone to arrange for people to check these business trips, and they can't damage Jiangdu City." ”

"That's very good." Fang Baihua waved his hand and said: "I live in the pavilion, when Han Shizhong goes to war, will I also appear on the city wall, side by side with the soldiers to fight the enemy, little Han Shizhong, he also surrounded and suppressed me back then, and I want to see him today." ”

"Niangniang, now that Han Shizhong has not arrived, it is better to let the last general send a man to escort Niangniang to Bianjing." Where did Yang Zhi dare to let Fang Baihua stay in Jiangdu, although Jiangdu was relatively safe, but it was only on the surface, and the only way to be truly safe was to stay away from the war.

"Where is there such a delicate one, Your Majesty's side Chai Niangniang, Hu Niangniang, and Liang Niangniang have all been on the battlefield, as for Badama, Yelupu Suwan, these people have also whipped the grassland, why, am I not as good as these people?" Fang Baihua said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty understands righteousness, even if I die in Jiangdu, I won't blame you." ”

"This, since Niangniang is willing to command the battle of Jiangdu, the ministers will obey the order." Yang Zhi was about to say something, but Yu Qi beside him hurriedly said. Although he was able to persuade Yang Zhi, if Fang Baihua came, he might be able to play an unexpected role.

"That's very good." Fang Baihua was very happy, and Yang Zhi did not let Fang Baihua live in the pavilion, but cleaned up a small courtyard in the mansion and let Fang Baihua live without mentioning it.

"Hey, it's not a good thing to have a lady who can write and martial arts, if there is an accident on the battlefield, I'm afraid it's your responsibility and mine." After Fang Baihua left, Yang Zhi couldn't help but say.

"At least the mother said the shortcomings between you and me." Yu Qi is very happy, he is a civil official, he saw the opportunity after Fang Baihua appeared, Fang Baihua has not served Li Jing for many years, he is fighting abroad, and now he has won the flow for Li Jing, for Fang Baihua, Li Jing has always been guilty, and he married Fang Baihua well, and he may not be able to get benefits from it.
