After Jiang Lintian captured Jingyang City, he reorganized his men and horses, and at the same time searched for Liu Yu's whereabouts.

I saw a person walking out of the palace in Jingyang, it was Liu Yi, and he was still carrying Liu Yu's bloody head in his hand.

Liu Jian Jiang Lintian hurriedly knelt down and said, "Liu Yi, the grass people, I have seen General Jiang Lintian. ”

Jiang Lintian asked, "Did you kill this Liu Yu?" ”

Liu Yi replied: "I killed him, this Liu Yu is ruthless, and he united with the people of the Jin Kingdom to kill our people, and he is not a son of man, I will kill him today, and I am here to present it to the general." ”

Jiang Lintian said: "You did a good job, Jingyang City will be guarded by you in the future!" ”

Liu Yi excused himself and said: "Liu Yi thanked the general for his good intentions, but I still have to keep filial piety for my father, and I really can't promise the general." ”

Jiang Lintian said with a smile: "Yes, he is a good man who values filial piety and righteousness, this city lord is naturally none other than you, I will play the court to reward you, and after the expiration of the filial piety period, you will come to be the city lord!" ”

Liu couldn't shirk his opinion, and said respectfully: "Thank you for the general's kindness, on behalf of all the people in Jingyang City, I would like to express my gratitude to the general for his righteousness." ”

After Jiang Lintian and Liu Yi exchanged pleasantries for a while, he went to other places to take a look and found that there were still some remnants of Liu Yu's henchmen, so he ordered Liu Yi to be exterminated quickly.

Since Liu Yu's death, the puppet Qi regime has ceased to exist.

When Song Qinzong heard the news, he was overjoyed and prepared to seal Jiang Lintian as the king of Shanxi, and wanted him to guard Shanxi, although many courtiers tried their best to persuade him, but he still couldn't change Song Qinzong's decision.

After Jiang Lintian captured Shanxi, he repaired his army and prepared to march to Hebei.

At this time, Hebei was also very lively, Jin Wushu in order to raise military food, carried out a sweep of Hebei, especially around Taihang Mountain, Zong Ze's men and horses and Zhi started a fight, but the result was that Zong Ze's side suffered heavy losses, and finally retreated to Bingzhou on the way.

Jin Wushu also knew the news of Liu Yu's defeat after a while, he couldn't have imagined that Liu Yu would be defeated by Jiang Lintian in less than a month, and he was really not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.

Liu Yu's defeat severely affected his plans to invade the Central Plains. But even so, he wanted to attack again.

Since Fang La became emperor, many Jianghu forces have come to vote, and now they are almost about to occupy the entire Jiangnan.

Although the imperial court had the intention to recover Jiangnan, it did not have enough troops and withstood the invasion of the Jin State, so it could only acquiesce to this fact.

But although Fang La became the emperor, his hands were still a little unstable. Due to the rebellion, agricultural work was delayed, and there was a famine in the rich Jiangnan region.

What's more serious is that the flood was also very violent this year, and many people lost their hometowns due to the flood, and these various reasons combined to make Fang La's rebel army also become unstable.

Jiang Lintian has long seen this clearly, he knows that the unstable factor is due to the imbalance of interests, most of the generals of these rebel armies began to have the idea of being rich and peaceful after the successful rebellion, and they did not know how to govern the people below, so it was very likely that they would collapse.

Although Jiang Lintian also regretted the people in Jiangnan, he was really powerless now, and the iron horse of the Northern Golden Vulture was pressed on top of his head like a big stone, and he had to face it.

Since Jiang Lintian defeated Liu Yu, the emperor of the puppet Qi, he rushed to Hebei non-stop.

Another bad news is that Zong Ze began to fall ill because of this defeat, everyone knows that he is afraid that his life will be short, and Jiang Lintian will also visit Zong Ze after he arrives in Hebei.

Seeing Jiang Lintian coming to see him, Zong Ze sat up from the bed and said with a difficult smile: "It turned out to be General Jiang of Liangshan!" I didn't expect you to do so many beautiful things in the past year, Liu Yu's battle was really good! I didn't sleep for two days after listening to it. ”

Jiang Lintian said: "Old general, you still have to take care of your body!" Don't bother. ”

Zong Ze coughed and said, "No way, if the Golden Vulture doesn't die, I'm uneasy!" That guy has been mobilizing people recently, and it seems that he is a thief! ”

Jiang Lintian said: "No matter how powerful he is, we must have a way to defeat him, old general, I will tell you a good news, Your Majesty will make you the secretary of the military department." ”

Zong Ze waved his hand and said: "I don't care about so much false fame since I joined the army, I can't be afraid of death when I go to the battlefield, and I can't be greedy for money when I become an official." ”

Jiang Lintian said: "I naturally know this, and it is also where I admire the old general." The general has served the country all his life, and he is a hero in the eyes of the people! ”

Zong Ze said: "It's just a pity, I'm afraid I won't see the day when I will recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, General Jiang, I have to entrust you with one thing." ”

Jiang Lintian said: "General, please speak quickly." If I can do it, I will definitely do my best to do it. ”

Zong Ze said: "I hope the general doesn't learn that Fang La." ”

Jiang Lintian said: "I understand what the old general means, as long as the emperor is virtuous." I will never sit there and wait for the usurpation of the throne, but I have some immature ideas about some places. ”

Zong Ze said: "What is your idea?" Let's hear it! It also gives me a long insight as an old man. ”

Jiang Lintian said: "I've been thinking about one thing. That is the question of the rights of the emperor. Because the emperor has too much power, sometimes he can't control himself, so in this case, the people will suffer, if the people can control the power, then the unfair things in the world, wouldn't there be a lot less? ”

Zong Ze said: "Then if that's the case, then what emperor do you need?" ”

Jiang Lintian said: "I mean the emperor is still the emperor, it's just a symbol of the empire, and the key personnel are still elected by the people." ”

Zong Ze said: "Your idea is indeed very good, but it's a pity that I, an old man, can't see it, and I want to ask you for one thing in the end." ”

Jiang Lintian said: "The old general, please speak, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Zong Ze said: "I have a general named Yue Fei under my subordinates, what do you think of this person?" ”

Jiang Lintian said: "When I saw this person on the first day, I felt that he was loyal and brave, and he was a person who could be entrusted with great things. ”

Zong Ze said: "What you said just now is actually only half right, Yue Fei is indeed very loyal, but I am afraid that this is also his weakness, I am afraid that he will be used by those who have a heart in the court in the future, and at this time, I need more help from Brother Jiang." ”

Zong Ze's words can be said to be well-intentioned, and in the end, he called Jiang Lintian Brother Jiang.

Jiang Lintian said: "Brother Yue Fei, I will naturally be able to help, and the old general also asks you to be relieved and take good care of your illness." ”

Zong Ze's breath suddenly became a little unsteady at this time, and said, "Remember! You must promise me. You must not do anything to betray the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Jiang Lintian nodded, and only after Zong Ze's mood recovered. It's just that at this time, his face has changed a lot, as if the words he just said have exhausted his last strength, and now he has begun to return to the light, Zong Ze's eyes looked at the Yellow River outside, the corners of his mouth slowly opened, and suddenly shouted: "Cross the river!" River! River! After saying that, he died of rage.

Jiang Lintian watched all this from the side, stunned for a long time, he saw the last moment of an old man, and also admired his indomitable spirit very much, it is this spirit that has supported his Northern Expedition for more than 30 years, and the one thing he wants to do most is to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Looking at Zong Ze, who didn't close his eyes, Jiang Lintian got up and walked in front of him, gently closed his eyes, and said softly: "Old general, rest in peace!" Whatever you want, I will definitely help you do it. ”

After doing all this, Jiang Lintian walked to the side of the bed and respectfully gathered three bows, but what he didn't notice was that the corners of Zong Ze's old mouth suddenly trembled, and he seemed to smile.
