Erdang underestimated Tokyo's civil and military. Who is the master of the ugly little plug who directly reprimanded "the erection of the horseman, the lack and the conspiracy"? The surname is Ma, the name is expanded, the word is full, and he is a native of Qiudao (now Lintong, Gansu). He likes martial arts and is a good soldier, and he knows poetry and books, and he has passed the martial arts of the imperial court. He is a protégé of the Son of Heaven. He was originally a military attache of the imperial court. Later, he followed his father Ma Zheng to the order of the imperial court and sent an envoy to the Khitan. Jurchen. contributed to the Song and Jin "Sea Alliance" to attack Liao together. and the fall of the Khitan. He sensed that the Jurchens had the intention of betraying the alliance, so he spoke to Tong Guan, who was in charge of the military power in the west. asked him to be careful, but Tong Guan turned a deaf ear and sent him to serve in Zhending.

The first southern invasion of the Jin army besieged Taiyuan Zhending, and he led the army to fight hard. The city cannot be broken. Last year, the Jurchens made a comeback and really fell. For unknown reasons, he did not flee back to Tokyo, but instead entered the Wuma Shancha and gathered the remnants of the rebel army to deal with the Jurchens. At that time, the Hebei Righteous Army was surging, and people from all walks of life obeyed their courage. Push as a leader. The Zhending Jin army went to encircle and suppress several times, but they all returned. and lured by the status of "Zhending Prefect", Ma Kuo was unmoved.

After receiving Xu Weijun's order. He immediately reorganized his troops, and notified all the hills around Zhending to prepare to intercept and kill the Jurchen defeated division. In order to prevent the news from leaking and let the real Jin soldiers notice, he informed the leaders of the righteous army, strictly kept secrets, and did not act rashly. Meantime. Spies were sent out uninterruptedly to keep a close eye on the troops coming from the north.

There was no news for days. By February 16, the Ganyan Mountain Righteous Army came to report that thousands of Jin soldiers had come from the south and were about to set foot in the territory of Zhending. Is it an immediate interception? Ma Kuo strictly ordered not to act rashly, and it was necessary to find out the strength of the Jin army again, and it was to retreat north. Or flee north. On 17 February, Gan Yanshan reported again that the Jin army was no more than 4,000 men, and its horse army was less than 1,000, and the men and horses were tired and marched slowly. What is particularly surprising is that the morale of this golden army is low; There was no fighting spirit at all, the horse army marched in the saddle, and the infantry army pulled the gun and left, as if they hadn't eaten for half a month.

Ma Kuo judged from this that Xu Wei's military order was indeed not boastful, and the Jin army's military might was greatly defeated! They are in a hurry to flee north, and they want a destination, which is naturally determined. If you want to reach Zhending, you must pass through Zanhuang County, and there are two rivers running through the east and west in this county. One catches the river, and the other Jihe. They are all places that must be passed through on the way north. In view of this, he gathered men and horses and drove to Jihe to set up an ambush, and on the other hand, he sent many teams of elite soldiers to intercept and kill the Jin army messengers. Because he expected that most of the officers and soldiers would follow behind, and the Jin army would probably also ask Zhending for help.

On February 19, Ma Kuo had gathered more than 20,000 volunteers from various cottages, selected them who were brave and strong, good at riding and archery, and rationed war horses, and ordered the "battle front team" to rush when the Jin army crossed the Jihe Bridge. and selected two thousand foot soldiers who were skilled in martial arts. Ordered to be the "garrison of the spear team" are all in charge of the soldiers, rationed with armor, and once the horse army charges, it will follow up. The rest of the rebels, the camera acts. The arrangement has just been completed here, and the front has already reported that the Jin army is approaching Jihe!

On this day, the sun was shining. Spring is bright. Looking around, I saw that the field was full of life. A verdant green. The Keji River was not so cooperative, it was a spring flood, the water level soared, and nearly half of the bridge piers were flooded. Ma Kuo's front army of more than 2,000 people was lying in the mountains and forests on the north bank of the Ji River. Keep an eye on the South Bank. When it was noon, there was no movement.

After all, the righteous soldiers had not undergone strict military training, and most of them were helpless, from the whispering at the beginning to the loud noise later, Ma Kuo shouted loudly.

"It's coming!" After a while, there was a loud shout.

All the armies looked south together, and sure enough, they saw a group of soldiers and horses coming. When you are close to the river, regardless of the horse army's foot. They all ran wildly, and they were in a mess for a while. The righteous soldier was shocked, what is this doing? Do you perceive that we are ambushing here? But when I looked at it again, the officers and men of the cash army all ran to the river, and they drank the water with their hands, and even the one who poked half of his head into the water. But in a short time, some people rode horses, raised their whips and shouted, and most of the soldiers got up and regained their weapons. Then the cavalry was in front, and the infantry was in the rear. Form a queue to cross the bridge.

"The Jurchen fiasco is like this, but it is not scattered, and if it is my great enemy!" Ma Kuo couldn't help but sigh. But our officers and soldiers have half of each other. It's not going to end up like this. But now is obviously not the time to sigh, and the opportunity to beat the water dog is not every day. More than 400 knights on the edge of the forest were carrying bows and arrows and spears, waiting for his orders.

Seeing that the Jin soldiers and cavalry had already walked off the bridge, and the infantry blocked the wall and advanced, Ma Kuo nodded slightly. The rebel cavalry immediately stepped on their horses and waited for his orders again. After careful observation, it was confirmed that Jin Jun was defenseless, and then he waved his hand suddenly!

"Kill the Golden Dog! Brethren rush! A black-faced strong man shouted with a bow and arrow, and as he spoke, he was already rushing out first. The brothers behind him moved in unison, although there were only hundreds of horses, and the momentum was not enough!

The golden rider had just crossed the bridge when suddenly an enemy attacked. Nor did they meet the attack, desperately whipping the war horse and fleeing north!

"Up!" Ma Kuo gave an order. The foot soldiers, all armed with spears, heard the wind and rushed out of the woods with shouts, and rushed towards the Jin infantry at the bridgehead. The cavalry of the two armies touched, and after all, there were many golden cavalry, and after a short exchange, they passed through each other. Dozens of horsemen were furious, and when they looked back, the mighty golden general who fled the horn shrank his head and ran, stretched his bow and arrows, and rattled a bowstring! The string is like a thunderbolt, the arrow is like lightning, and an arrow is hitting the horse stock in the past! The war horse was in pain, rolled over on its side, and knocked the horse to the ground. There were still people in the golden horse in front of him who glanced back, but they didn't mean to stop at all. Guarding a group of people with bald heads and pigtails and gold rings in their ears, they fled north as if they were dying.

Ma Kuo had an order in advance, if the opponent's cavalry charged over, do not chase after it, just intercept the infantry and tear it up. Therefore, the cavalry of the rebel army immediately charged the infantry of the Jin army at the bridgehead under the net, and 2,000 "garrison spear teams." They also lined up in horizontal rows and marched in unison. This made the Jin army infantry, panicked when they encountered the enemy at first glance, they were hungry in their stomachs, and their hands were weak, and the cavalry of the righteous army rushed to the thunder before they formed a formation, and Mount Tai rushed overwhelmed.

The thousands of people who came down the bridge were dazed, and the Jurchen soldiers who were still on the bridge and on the other side saw that the commander had fled, and they had no intention of fighting and fled in all directions. Some went east, some went west, but none ran south. When Ma Kuo saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised, he thought that with the fierceness of the Jin Army, even if he encountered adversity, he should not be so cowardly. How did the net break up everywhere as soon as it saw it?

"My lord, there is a golden general, who has killed more than a dozen of my brothers, and he is unstoppable!" When Ma Kuo heard this, he looked north, only to see a hundred and ten paces away, the righteous cavalry soldiers surrounded and killed one person, but no one could get close to him.

With a whip, the horse galloped over. I saw that the general was about fifty feet away, and his body was eight feet long, with a square face, hanging horned eyebrows, and protruding cheekbones. A long beard and chest are extremely majestic. At this time, he grabbed a spear in one hand and a big knife in the other, and his blood-red eyes were full of anger!

On the ground, there were dead and wounded righteous soldiers lying on the ground, and everyone around them did not dare to go any further. Even if three or two were bold enough to take a gun and want to stab it, they were stared at by the general, and they retreated in horror.

Without waiting for his mount to stop, he leaped down, and when the soldiers saw him coming, they avoided making way. After entering the encirclement and taking a closer look at the golden general, Ma Kuo suddenly smiled and said: "Meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country is really a great joy in life!" Brother Guo is okay if you don't come? ”

The general stared at him for a long time, and suddenly his face changed: "Ma Zichong? ”

"Exactly, Brother Guo still remembers Ma. When my brother returned to Zhuoyi Erzhou, the official family personally summoned him, worshiped as the deputy guard of Yanshan, and ranked as the ambassador of Jiedu, which can be described as a favor! Brother Xi is capricious, once the Jurchen betrays the alliance and goes south, you will open the city and surrender. He also willingly acted as a pioneer in front of the horse. I don't want to be so depressed today, I don't know how Brother Guo feels? Ma Kuo's smile became brighter.

That's right, this Jin general who is surrounded by groups is not a bystander, it is the remnants of Liao, the Li rank of Song, the hero of Jin, and the division of Guo!

was ridiculed and sarcastic by Ma Kuo with a gun and a stick. Pharmacist Guo didn't feel the slightest guilt, and he didn't intend to respond, but asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"The Purple Tiger ordered Hebei Qinwang Yishi to intercept and kill the gold thief halfway, and the younger brother was ordered by the army to set up an ambush here. I wanted to catch a big fish. Unexpectedly, Brother Guo was netted, isn't this providence? Ma Ku quipped. At this time, the rebels all around knew that this guy in front of them was Guo Yaoshi, a man who betrayed the country to seek glory and turned to face the ungraceful person, and he was furious, and everyone wanted to kill this martial artist!

After hearing this, Pharmacist Guo's face suddenly turned dead, and he lost his voice: "Xu Wei? "During the first southern expedition, Xu Wei was just a villager, not even a serious officer. But this time, he has already commanded tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. This is not unusual, I didn't expect him to be able to command Hebei! The second prince has a saying, if the tiger grows up, it will definitely pounce on me! Indeed, this little thief is a great one!

Ma Kuo saw that his face was blue and purple for a while, and he didn't care what he was thinking, and asked directly: "Pharmacist Guo, I know that you are brave and brave." But today, you are under siege, and you can't fly! If you abandon your weapons and take them with your hands, I will not hurt you.

The two weapons in Guo Yaoshi's hands were held tighter, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then what? ”

"Xu Jiu is the patrol envoy of the Lianghe Volunteer Army. Since I have raised troops to serve the country with anti-gold, I should obey his orders. I can't say it, I will escort you to the Xu Command Embassy Ma Kuo has no smile on his face.

Guo's teacher thought that he would turn his back on the Southern Dynasty. Surrender Jurchen. The monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty will want to kill me and then quickly, if it falls into the hands of Xu Wei, I am afraid that it will not be a good death! But now the situation is clear, it is impossible to break through!

"Zichong, you and I know each other, why are we forcing each other too much? The Jin country is powerful, and the Southern Dynasty will die sooner or later! Once the second prince returns to Zhending, he will set up troops and come again, how will Zichong deal with himself at that time? Why don't you go with me to Zhending, how about I protect my virtuous brother and guard the pastoral side, and be a feudal official! "Originally, people like Pharmacist Guo tore half their lives on the battlefield, not to mention seeing death as home. Courage and courage are indispensable. I didn't expect that when death came, it would be like this. (To be continued)
