Chu Tianya and the others finally didn't have to be savages anymore, but ate hot meals and hot dishes, and also lived in houses and barracks that could shelter from the wind and snow.

It must have been defeated, and the bigger trouble was just behind, and the Jurchens were likely to take bloody revenge, so it was just the beginning.

The people of the city rejoiced, and rushed to be the first to present the delicious food and drink they had hidden in their homes to the "king master", and asked who led the army.

Chu Tianya asked his subordinates to declare, "We are the men and horses of His Royal Highness King Kang, and we have come to recover the lost territory on the orders of the imperial court."

Countless people cried with joy, no one wanted to be a slave to the country, and finally looked forward to the king to recover the lost land and save the people!

Jiao Wentong and the others were puzzled, why did they give the credit to the King Kang who stood by and watched? Now is a great time to build up grace and win the hearts and minds of the people!

Chu Tianya didn't say it with a smile, let Jiao Wentong and the others hurry up and not relax their troops and horses, and more importantly, replenish the supplies, the good things that the people of the Jin Kingdom left in the granary mansion, don't forget to bring more if you can - this is a hard-won trophy!

Chu Tianya even turned a blind eye to the soldiers who secretly hid some loot, as long as it was not snatched from the people, it didn't matter if he picked up the corpse of the golden man or got it from the treasury. Whether it's a howling rider or a tiger ben, it's all human. They also want to live, desperate for their lives not to follow Chu Tianya, in this icy and snowy day, they have traveled thousands of miles to Zhending to fight hard, if there is no benefit at all, no one will be happy.

As a result, the treasury of Zhending was almost swept away. Chu Tianya's men and horses were like a swarm of locusts, and each sergeant's pockets were stuffed to the brim. But there is a military order that is very strict, if anyone robs the people or rapes or adulterates women, there will be no forgiveness!

Therefore, the people of Zhending found that this royal division was not much different from what they imagined, they did not commit any offense with Minqiu, and they were indeed disciplined and helpful; But they were all greedy for money and lustful, and when they saw that the Jurchens ransacked him whether he was dead or alive, the girls in the brothels, and the concubines left by the Jurchens were all wrapped up for these soldiers, and they drank and feasted day and night - they were like bandits!

Some old masters who read couldn't get used to it, and came to Chu Tianya to "complain", and Chu Tianya dealt with it with haha, and verbally stated that he would restrain the army and punish illegal soldiers in the future, and he would not offend them anyway; However, Chu Tianya did not punish these sergeants.

Soldiers and civilians, after all, are people of two worlds. The old master couldn't understand why these sergeants were so dissolute, completely ignoring etiquette, righteousness and shame, and not paying attention to the image of the king; Only the soldiers and sergeants like Chu Tianya know how much pressure they have been under, how many hardships they have endured, and how many times they have almost returned to the battlefield - the sergeants are also human beings, not iron fighters. Living under the high pressure of war and discipline all year round, they will go crazy if they don't vent! In addition, people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for their own sake, the slogans of courtesy, righteousness, benevolence, filial piety, and serving the country and the people cannot be eaten, and the sergeants must also eat, and the women must support their families, which is the basic human nature.

Chu Tianya's subordinates were convinced of him and were willing to die for him, just because Chu Tianya had always regarded them as people, not livestock or machines.

When cleaning the battlefield, Chu Tianya called Jiao Wentong and other generals to be sure to find Yue Fei. But Yue Fei was like a gust of wind, blowing on the battlefield and cutting off countless heads, and as soon as the battle was over, he blew away like a gust of wind, and did not enter Zhending City at all.

Chu Tianya felt very regretful, this had already passed by twice, and this time they had fought together, but they still failed to meet Yue Fei. Tang Ang and Anu, who commanded the battle on the battlefield, said that although Yue Fei's cavalry numbered no more than 100, they were extremely brave and good at fighting, unlike any Great Song army they had ever seen before. Especially that Yue Fei, who is really one of the best tiger generals in the world, he dares to rush into the most crowded abducted horse battle group with just one gun, no one can stop him, the Jurchens can even be stabbed through by him with a single shot, and then fly and smash into the pile, it is definitely a terrifying innate divine power and super martial arts! His arrows are even more ruthless, it is really a no-brainer, between the lightning and flint of the step-by-step killing on the battlefield, his spear and bow are unpredictable and arbitrary, and he personally killed many Jurchen Meng'an and Mouke, just like chopping melons and vegetables!

Chu Tianya immediately thought of the "pick the pulley" in the traditional repertoire, although it was not Yue Fei who was talking about, it was estimated that there was a similar scene on the battlefield at that time.

"It's a waste for such a person to follow King Kang!!" Chu Tianya's heart became more and more unhappy for Yue Fei.

At that time, the people rushed out of Zhending City, and a team of people who came to help in the battle found it. After the battle, they stayed behind and entered the city with the common people. However, after they entered the city, they did not come to see Chu Tianya, but all went to a temple in Zhending.

After Chu Tianya learned about it, he immediately took Jiao Wentong and the Qingwei to the temple.

When I got there, I saw hundreds of men in tattered clothes and many wounds kneeling on the ground, and an altar was erected in the temple with a spiritual table, and a coffin was placed horizontally in it.

The sergeants who had just finished the battle and were still nervous found that Chu Tianya had arrived, and they hurriedly stood up, and they all drew their weapons and waited for the battle.

"Friendly forces." Chu Tianya only said two words, and the group of people separated from the middle and walked out of a young man dressed in linen and filial piety.

"The last general, Liu Ziyu, dare to ask the general's surname?"

Chu Tianya's eyes lit up, "You are Liu Ziyu who is true to the truth?" Aren't you going back to your hometown to worry? ”

Liu Ziyu looked Chu Tianya up and down in amazement, "Your Excellency recognizes the young general, I don't know what to call it?" ”

"Taiyuan Chu Tianya." Chu Tianya smiled and hugged his fists, "I have heard the name of General Liu for a long time, a loyal and righteous man, Chu has admired it for a long time, and I finally saw it today, fortunately, fortunately!" ”

Liu Ziyu and the sergeants suddenly burst into an uproar!

Liu Ziyu looked at Chu Tianya in disbelief, "Your Excellency is ...... General Hedong? No, it can't be, how can the general be so young? ”

"Haha, what's so great about Chu Tianya, I can't still pretend to be him?" Chu Tianya laughed, "It's true, it's like a fake." ”

Jiao Wentong and the others behind him all laughed, and Jiao Wentong said: "I waited for the lord to come thousands of miles to attack Zhending, but fortunately, with the help of General Liu, we successfully repelled the counterattacking Jurchen iron cavalry. ”

"Your Excellency, isn't it ......" Liu Ziyu looked at Jiao Wentong with a long beard and a majestic body in black, "Wu Zhuangyuan, Jiao Wentong?" ”

"Hey, General Liu actually knows Jiao's cheap name?" Jiao Wentong laughed, "What martial arts champion, Jiao Wentong has long forgotten about this matter!" Now, Jiao is just a pawn under the lord's command! ”

"It's really General Hedong!" Liu Ziyu's young and handsome face added a look of surprise, and suddenly bowed down with all the sergeants, "I have heard the name for a long time, I have seen my respectful face, and I am fortunate to have three lives!" ”

"Rise up, brothers, please!" Chu Tianya hurriedly helped Liu Ziyu up, took his hand and said, "Last year, my teacher and I worked hard to guard Taiyuan, and the general and Ling Zun worked hard to keep the truth, and I really felt the same sympathy!" Fortunately, Taiyuan was held; It's a pity that it must have been lost after all! Fortunately, General Liu survived, and with these loyal people with great hearts, he stepped into the city of Zhending again! …… What a song and a cry! ”

Liu Ziyu sighed, his eyes were a little moist. He invited Chu Tianya to the altar, pointed to the coffin and said, "What is in the coffin is the headless body of my father. At the beginning, after the Jurchens laid down the true decision, they killed their father and showed their obedience. Later, the Great Song Dynasty and the Jurchens negotiated peace in Tokyo, and the Jurchens sent back the body of their father, but they lost their heads, so they got a dummy head and sent it! The court ordered me to escort my father's coffin back to my hometown, Ding Wei - General, my father's head is missing, and Zi Yufu can return to his hometown! ”

Chu Tianya nodded suddenly, "So you continue to take the brothers to fight against the Jurchens in the Zhending area?" ”

Liu Ziyu's eyes turned red, and he shook his head with a wry smile, "At the beginning, the city was broken, and the armies were scattered. Ziyu was incompetent, so he could only recruit more than 1,000 people to reorganize the troops. The imperial court knew that I had disobeyed the order and did not return to my hometown, so we did not recognize our army, so we became lonely ghosts, and lived in the mountains and jungles around Zhending and Hejian. While the Jurchens were slumping, they robbed them of some grain and grass and killed their small army. After a few months, we were left with just over 500 people. Today, I suddenly learned that there was a royal division in the Northern Expedition to recover Zhending and a bloody battle with the Jurchens outside the city, and we were so excited that we would die to help the battle...... But Ziyu also knew that after all, we had resisted the holy decree and violated the military order, so we didn't dare to see General Wangshi. So after entering the city, he has been looking for his father's head in private, but unfortunately to no avail...... In the end, I had to carry my father's coffin here to pay respects. ”

"Liuhe!" Chu Tianya called.

"The subordinates are here!"

"Immediately send an order, make a list, order the whole army, solicit the people, and help find the head of General Liu! Whoever wins the prize will be rewarded with 500 gold! ”

"Yes!"

Liuhe strode away.

Liu Ziyu and his sergeants immediately wept with gratitude, and many people cried. Liu Ziyu knelt down in front of Chu Tianya again, crying uncontrollably.

"Yan Xiu, don't say anything, go back to Taiyuan with me!" Chu Tianya helped Liu Ziyu up again and said, "God is destined to live and die together, and fight gold and save the country together!" ”

Liu Ziyu was both moved and surprised when he heard Chu Tianya call him, he looked at Chu Tianya with teary eyes, and fell down again crying, "Liu Ziyu, I am willing to go to the soup for the general, and never give up!" ”

His sergeants also bowed down and shouted loudly, "I am willing to go to the soup for the general, and never give up!" ”

"Yan Xiu, brothers, don't say such things!" Chu Tianya said loudly, "We are all thieves and people who are not wanted by the imperial court, we can't die under the butcher's knife of the Jin people, let alone be slaves of the country!" The court doesn't want us, let's do it ourselves, fuck the fucking Jurchens, and die a hearty and vigorous death! In the future, we will all be brothers, don't say anything about going to the soup for me, let's live and die together together!! ”

"Good !!" With a roar of majestic mountains and rivers, Chu Tianya's words really spoke to the hearts of these sergeants!

"Live and die with the general!!"

Liu Ziyu's heart has never been happy and moved. Originally, he thought that after the generals of the imperial court learned of his travels, they would send people to arrest him, a rebel general who "disobeyed the holy decree and provoked a border provocation" - they all planned to pay tribute to their ancestors here, and they were waiting to be arrested and imprisoned by the king's people, and they were even ready to be beheaded - but they didn't expect that what they were waiting for was Chu Tianya's vow of all kinds of respect and life and death together!

In Liu Ziyu's opinion, although Chu Tianya is also a "general", he is different from all the generals and officials Liu Ziyu has seen. He is very down-to-earth, very friendly, and truly treats his subordinates as people and brothers, instead of being like other officials and generals, who only care about their own promotion and wealth, and regard their subordinates as stepping stones to climb up, full of benevolence, righteousness, morality, and officialdom......

"Liu Ziyu, swear to live and die with the general!!"

Although he and Chu Tianya only knew each other for a cup of tea, Liu Ziyu pointed to the sky before his father's spiritual seat and coffin and made such an oath!
