Zhao Gou led the army across the Yangtze River, and Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others went first. At this time, the sentinels on the Beigu Mountain in Runzhou found three hundred warships whizzing out, with the Red Flag of the Pioneer of Escorting Food and Clothing. The sentinels immediately sent a message to the city, and when Lu Shumi heard about it, he felt that something was unusual, and personally led his twelve commanders to the riverside to observe.

The twelve commanders were all dressed in draped clothes, with bows and crossbows wound, and swords unsheathed, leading elite soldiers, looking majestic. These twelve people are: Shen Gang, the god of heaven, Pan Wende, the god of games, Ying Ming, the god of Dunjia, Xu Tong, the god of Liuding, Zhang Jinren, the god of thunderbolts, Shen Ze, the god of giant spirits, Zhao Yi, the god of Taibai, Gao Keli, the god of hanging, the god Zhuo Wanli, the god of Huang, the god of leopard tail and Tong, and the god of mourning Shen Lin.

The Runzhou army saw a hundred boats coming in front of them, only to see the ships approaching the shore. Looking out, there were two heads on the ship, both of which were clustered in front and back, both wearing golden chain robes, and each of them was the big man. Lu Shumi personally dismounted, sat on the silver chair, and the twelve commanders were divided into two lines to guard the riverbank.

Zhang Qing and Li Jun saw Lu Shumi sitting on the ground on the riverbank, and got up and spoke. Waiting left and right, drinking and ordering the boat, a hundred boats, and the anchor was set in one word. The two hundred boats behind them also leaned against the shore with a tailwind; Divide and put together in two, one hundred on the left and one hundred on the right, and do three evenly placed.

When the guest account master got off the boat, he asked, "Where did the ship come from?" ”

Zhang Qing replied: "The villain's surname is Chen Mingyi, his brother Chen Tai, his father Chen Guan, and a certain brother who has been specially dispatched to offer 50,000 stone of rice, 300 boats, and 5,000 elite soldiers, to thank the Privy Counsellor for his kindness." ”

The guest account secretary said: "The day before yesterday, the privy minister made Ye Yu wait to come, where are the others now?" ”

Zhang Qingqi replied calmly: "Yu Hou and Wu Cheng were each infected with typhoid fever, and they were recuperating in the village at this time, so they couldn't come." The documents that will be closed today are presented here. ”

The guest account division took the paperwork, and went to the riverbank to reply to Lu Shumi: "Chen Fu Yin Nan Chen Yi of Dingpu Village, Yangzhou, Chen Tai, pay for grain and donate troops, and submit the original documents to the customs defense here." ”

Lu Shumi read it and saw that the official document was genuine, or he personally issued it. However, he was still a little uneasy, and ordered someone to summon Zhang Qing and Li Jun. Zhang Qing and Li Jun glanced at each other, and only followed behind and walked forward, making them glad that Lu Shumi and the twelve commanders had never seen the two brothers of the Chen family, and they had also escaped.

Zhang Qing and Li Jun went alone, and there were originally 20 partial generals accompanying them, but they were stopped by the platoon army. Zhang Qing and Li Jun could only choose to go alone. The two of them saw Lu Shumi and visited him as grass people. Lu Shumi had never met Chen's father and son, and he knew some things, so he asked, "Why didn't your father Chen Guan come in person?" ”

Zhang Qing replied: "My father knew that the imperial army would come in a few days, and he was worried that the thieves would go to the countryside to disturb him, so he stayed at home and did not dare to leave without permission. ”

Lu Shumi glanced at Zhang Qing and Li Jun and asked, "Which of the two of you is the elder brother and which is the younger brother?" ”

Zhang Qing replied: "Chen Yi is a brother. ”

Lu Shumi said: "You two brothers, have you practiced martial arts?" ”

Zhang Qing replied: "Torian is blessed with shade, and he has practiced. ”

Lu Shumi said: "How is the white grain you brought loaded?" ”

Mu Hong said: "The big ship is loaded with 300 stones, and the small boat is loaded with 100 stones. ”

Lu Shumi then asked: "You two are here, I'm afraid there is something else!" ”

Zhang Qing hurriedly said: "The villain's father and son, a filial heart, how dare you have the slightest intention?" ”

Lu Shumi said: "Although you are kind, I look at the people on your ship, and they look very good, which can't help but make people suspicious." You two stay here for the time being, while I send four commanders and lead a hundred soldiers off the ship to search. If there is something extraordinary, it will not be forgiven. ”

Zhang Qing replied calmly: "The villain is here, counting on the reuse, why be suspicious!" ”

Lu Shisang was about to order the four commanders to get off the boat and search, only to see the horse report: "There is a holy decree outside the south gate, please get on the horse to greet you." ”

Lu Shumi immediately got on his horse, and then ordered the left and right: "You must guard the river bank and you two brothers go with me!" ”

Zhang Qing glanced at him, Li Jun nodded understandingly, and followed Lu Shumi first. Then, Zhang Qing and Li Jun beckoned twenty more generals, and followed Lu Shumi into the city gate.

Unexpectedly, when the gatekeeper saw the two of them leading the generals forward, he immediately shouted: "The privy councillor only told you two brothers to go, and the others are not allowed to enter!" ”

So, Zhang Qing and Li Jun passed, and the twenty generals were blocked at the edge of the city. The two of them looked at each other again, knowing that Lu Shumi had never trusted them, and had been interrogating them all the time, just to catch their handles, fortunately Zhang Qing was clever and adaptable, otherwise he would definitely be recognized by Lu Shumi, and it would be too late to regret it.

Lu Shumi hurried to the south gate to greet the envoy sent by Fang La, received the holy decree, and asked in a low voice, "Lord Feng, why are you so anxious?" ”

The messenger was a popular man in front of Fang La, deeply trusted, and named Feng Xi. Looking around, Feng Xi leaned over and whispered: "Recently, the eunuch Pu Wenying of Sitian said: "Looking at the sky at night, there are countless gangxing, entering the Wu land division, and half of it is mixed with no light, so it is not a small disaster. The Son of Heaven issued a special decree to teach the privy to guard the riverbank. But those who come from the north must be carefully cross-examined and questioned the truth; If it is a strange figure, it will be killed immediately, and it will not stop. ”

Lu Shumi was taken aback when he heard this, and wanted to go to the Chen family brothers he had just met, but he realized that something was wrong, and exclaimed: "Could it be that this is the group of people?" When I first met them, I thought it was a little strange, and I asked Master Feng to go into the city to talk about it! ”

Feng Xi and Lu Shumi both went to the province, and before they could talk in detail, they received a report from the generals: "Suzhou has another mission, and the three kings of the royal brother have arrived." ”

The man said: "You may not believe the surrender of Yangzhou General Chen the day before yesterday, and I am afraid that there will be fraud. Recently, in the Holy Decree, in the Si Tian Prison, he saw that Gangxing had entered the Wu Land Division, and he could firmly guard the river bank. Sooner or later, I sent someone to oversee me. ”

Lu Shumi replied: "The king is also concerned about this matter, and the lower officials have been ordered by holy order. ”

Immediately, he ordered people to guard the riverbank, and sent people to keep an eye on the Chen brothers. And he told them not to let them go, nor to let any of them go ashore. Lu Shumi himself personally hosted a banquet to entertain the two envoys.

The three hundred people on the boat were surprised to see that there had been no movement for a long time. On the left, a hundred boats Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun took eight partial generals and brought weapons ashore; On the right side of the hundred, ten and ten generals took their swords and went ashore; The southern army guarding the river cannot be stopped.

Black whirlwind Li Kui, reconcile Zhen and Dong Ping rushed into the city to guard the official army rushed out to intercept, Li Kui picked up the double axe, cut and chopped, and killed the two officers and soldiers early. The edge of the city launched a shout, and Xie Zhen and Dong Ping each entered the city with steel forks. In an instant, the Song army took the lead in attacking, and before the defenders of Runzhou City could react, everyone had already entered the city. Li Kui was sideways under the door, looking for someone to slash and kill. The twenty generals who came to the edge of the city first, each of them seized his weapon, and then he slew it.

When Lu Shumi heard this, he was shocked, so he ordered an order to let the twelve commanders lead the army to resist. It's a pity that it's too late, the Song army has already entered the city, and the armies are coming one after another, Shi Jin, Chai Jin and others also took off the enemy's clothes and killed them with weapons.

When Shen Gang and Pan Wende, the commanders of the two routes, came to protect the city gate, Shen Gang was chopped off his horse by Shi Jin, and Pan Wende was stabbed by Zhang Heng and knocked down. The general of the defenders of Runzhou City was killed, and the two armies fought together. The ten commanders led their armies back into the city to protect their families.

Zhang Qing and Li Jun heard that their army had entered the city in the city, so they borrowed the fire and set it on fire, taking this as a signal, the soldiers of the Song army saw the attack signal, and immediately went to the subsequent attack, and there were people and horses fighting in all directions, and the defenders of Runzhou City also saw that they were fighting under the banner of "Zhao", so they knew that the Song army was coming.

The words were divided into two ends, the Song army had one hundred and fifty warships on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the Song army generals led by them had already taken out their war horses, jumped up, and rode on horseback. The generals who took the lead: Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Hua Rong, Lin Chong, Yue Fei, Liu Qi, Yang Yizhong, Sun Li and other eight people, each led a thousand positive generals, 2,000 soldiers and horses, and rushed into the city.

At this time, Lu Shumi knew that the general trend had gone, and Runzhou City was broken by the Song army, so he could only lead the remnants to abandon the city and flee to Dantu County. The Song army deserved to occupy Runzhou City, but Zhao Gou did not let them continue the pursuit, but stayed in the city in case of emergency.

The army captured Runzhou and immediately extinguished the fire in the city. The Song army sent generals to guard the four gates of Runzhou City, and then the army went to the riverside to prepare for Zhao Gou and others to land.
