After blasting away the eldest prince of Han, Yue Fei hugged his fists and said to Zhao Butry, "Lord Zhao, my brother Ji Qian has always been reckless, and I hope that my lord will not laugh." ”

Zhao Butry had mixed feelings in his heart. But there was still a smile on his face. "Where did General Yue come from? General Ji is a hero. To be honest, I've been angry with Master Han for a long time. Today, I finally borrowed the hand of General Ji and gave me a bad breath. Come! I salute General Ji with a glass of wine. ”

Ji Qian took the wine glass and drank it all. Then he grinned and said, "I said Lord Zhao, you are a good official." I know you're a good officer. But you are too indulgent of these scholars. These guys who can only drink and fart think about how to be an official all day long, how to spoil the people after becoming an official, and they don't care who gives them officials. If the Golden Dog is willing to let them be officials, these things will definitely surrender to the Golden Dog. According to me, Lord Zhao should destroy these things. ”

Yue Fei saw that Ji Qian was talking more and more, and hurriedly drank Ji Qian. Ji Qian Hugh is talking nonsense. Does Lord Zhao still want you to teach? I can't stop talking. ”

Zhao Bu listened to Ji Qian's words, not only did he not get angry, but let out a long sigh. "Pengju, you don't have to worry. Ji Qian was telling the truth. My emperor and Song Dynasty are now in turmoil, how can it not be the evil result of a hundred years of heavy literature and military suppression? ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Butry stopped talking, but lifted a wine jug and poured it into the mouth of the jug. A large pot of wine was poured into his stomach by Zhao Butry in one go, Zhao Buxian's face turned red, wiped the corners of his mouth with the sleeve of his robe, and said loudly, "There is wine today and I am drunk today." Pengju, Ji Qian, generals, let's not get drunk today. ”

Seeing that Zhao Buxian, who had always been elegant and gentle, suddenly became uninhibited, Yue Fei and the others couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in their hearts. Zhao Butry is not ignorant of the situation in the DPRK and China, but he still sticks to Xiangzhou. Not for anything else, just for the responsibility of Zhao Song's children to the people of the Central Plains.

Yue Fei's heart stirred, and he said loudly, "Lord Zhao is worthy of his identity. I toast Lord Zhao with a glass of wine. It's just that Fei will leave Xiangzhou tomorrow and go to Taihang to find his mother. I also hope that Lord Zhao will not be careless, and the Golden Dog reinforcements will arrive in the city in a few days. ”

Zhao Buqian laughed and said, "You don't need to bother with Pengju. I understand, of course. Now the morale of our army is greatly boosted, and it must be effortless to defend the city. ”

Yue Fei hesitated, but still expressed his worries. "Lord Zhao, if the Jin soldiers come to the city again, I hope Lord Zhao will pay attention to Master Han."

Zhao Buqian laughed and said, "Pengju is worried that he will surrender to the Golden Dog? No, it won't. Although Han Dagongzi has no one in his eyes, he is actually very timid. You can't do such a thing as surrendering the city. ”

Yue Fei saw that Zhao Butry didn't take his reminder to heart. I don't want to persuade him anymore at the moment. He knew what Zhao Bu was embarrassed about.

The night banquet lasted until late at night. Many of the generals were drunk. Only Yue Feiji, Qianhua, Ruyu, and Ran Qing remained awake. and Xiong Fei and the rest of the army were not drunk. Yue Fei and Ji Qian were not drunk because they drank a lot. Hua Ruyu and Ran Qing didn't get drunk because they only drank a little bit of wine. And the back army didn't even touch his lips with wine at all.

Seeing Zhao Buqian lying on the table drunk like mud, he let out a long sigh from time to time, and it seemed that he was also full of worries in the drunken country. Yue Fei couldn't help but shake his head, and after ordering the people from the government to come and serve the prefect, he led Ji Qian and the others out of the government and prepared to return to the military camp outside the city.

At this time, it was the dead of night, and the streets could be said to be empty, except for soldiers armed with swords and guns walking back and forth at the street entrances, doing their duty to defend the city. Yue Fei and his entourage walked onto the street and immediately attracted the attention of the patrolmen. After recognizing that it was Yue Fei, immediately a patrol leader guarding the city took the initiative to lead Yue Fei in front of his head.

The leader of the patrol was a half-grown child, sixteen years old at most, thin and weak, with only one pair of eyes that were extremely determined. He grabbed his spear in one hand and held the reins of his horse for Yue Fei in the other.

If someone else does this, they may appear to be very humble. But this child did this very naturally, and did not pretend to be a subordinate at all. It seems that he and Yue Fei are very good friends, and the reins are not to please him, but to give his friends a ride.

Yue Fei looked at the city patrol with admiring eyes, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know what this little brother is called?" ”

The patrol turned his face, his lips pursed tightly for a smile. "My name is Shi Quan."

Yue Fei's body on the horse shook suddenly, and he said loudly, "You are Shi Quan?" ”

Shi Quan nodded, "I am Shi Quan." Does General Yue recognize me? ”

Yue Fei didn't say anything anymore, just looked Shi Quan up and down with his eyes. Ji Qian thought that there was something wrong with Shi Quan, and immediately ordered a few backing troops to surround Shi Quan, as long as Shi Quan made the slightest move, he would be killed immediately.

But Shi Quan didn't make any changes. He looked at Yue Fei a little confused, and couldn't remember when he had seen Yue Fei. As for the swords and guns of the Beiwei Army, they have not been taken to heart by Shi Quan. He didn't have the intention of hurting Yue Fei. So he believed that Yue Fei would not hurt him either.

Yue Fei finally came back to his senses and laughed, "Sure enough, it's a righteous man Shi Quan!" Determined and courageous. Speaking of this, Yue Fei jumped off the horse, took Shi Quan's hand and said, "General Shi, would it be good to join my people's army?" ”

Yue Fei's public solicitation of Shi Quan made Ji Qian and the others look at each other. Ji Qianxin said that although this kid looks like he has two shots, he is at most a second-rate general. How could Brother Yue attach so much importance to him?

Of course, Ji Qian and others didn't know that in the original history, after Yue Fei was killed, the once-famous Yue family army was scattered, and the fierce generals either protected themselves or retired to the mountains and forests, and openly avenged Yue Fei, but there was only one small colonel Shi Quan, who did not belong to the Yue family's army, who was completely indignant, holding a horse chopping knife, and wanted to stab Qin Hui. At that time, because Qin Hui had just killed Yue Fei, he was afraid that the soldiers of the Yue family army would come to take revenge, so he was extremely well guarded, and thousands of elite soldiers guarded him front and back. But Shi Quan was alone, with a knife, and killed all the way to Qin Hui's sedan chair, but unfortunately the last knife was slashed on the iron-cast sedan pole, allowing Qin Hui to escape. Shi was killed with all his might.

The most admired thing by Yue Xiaofei in later generations is Shi Quan. So he also passed on this respect to Yue Fei. After Yue Fei accepted Yue Xiaofei's memory, he always wanted to find this righteous man Shi Quan. Today, I got what I wanted, and of course I opened my mouth to solicit it.

But to Yue Fei's disappointment, Shi Quan shook his head slowly but firmly after hearing Yue Fei's solicitation, although an inexplicable fire flashed in his eyes. "Thank you General Yue for looking at him with blue eyes, and Shi Quan is grateful. But I'm a sergeant in Xiangzhou, and I won't join other troops. ”

Yue Fei's rejection of Shi Quan had long been expected. Righteous people like Shi Quan are extremely stubborn people, extremely determined, but extremely simple. This kind of person, if he is made a general, is definitely a dead soldier who makes the enemy fearful. Because as long as you give an order, he will absolutely do it regardless of everything, and he will not care about his own life or death. Although Shi Quan is still a child now, he is no different from Shi Quan when he assassinated Qin Hui.

However, Yue Fei still wanted to work harder. "Shi Quan, don't you want to fight against the golden dog on the battlefield? Believe me, follow our Protector Army, and you will definitely become a famous general who kills the golden dog. ”

Yue Fei's temptation is not insignificant. Shi Quan joined the army because Jin Bing destroyed his village and killed his parents. In the battle out of the city today, Shi Quan killed six Jin soldiers alone, more than the largest generals in Xiangzhou. That's why he was appreciated by Zhao Butry and became a squad leader patrolling the city. Now that Yue Fei said this, Shi Quan almost nodded in agreement. Because he has been defending the city for more than half a year, Shi Quan already knows that although Lord Zhao Butry is loyal and courageous, he is really not what Lord Zhao is good at fighting in front of the Jin soldiers.

But in the end, he still shook his head and said firmly, "Thank you General Yue for your kindness." Shi Quan still just wants to do a good job of patrolling the city. ”

Yue Fei patted Shi Quan's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Shi Quan, I respect your choice. But please also remember my words today. If he wants to fight the golden dog, he will go to Yingtianfu to find me. ”

Shi Quan asked in surprise, "Is General Mo Feiyue leaving Xiangzhou?" ”

Yue Fei said, "Not bad. This time, I came to Sangju to look for my mother and a pair of children. Tomorrow I will leave Xiangzhou and go to Taihang Mountain to look for them. But you don't have to worry about the safety of Xiangzhou, I got a letter from Zong Shuai, and the fierce general Xue Guang led 10,000 elite soldiers to aid Xiangzhou, and he is almost under the city of Xiangzhou. General Xue is brave and good at fighting, with him in Xiangzhou, even if the Jin soldiers make a comeback, General Xue is enough to deserve it. ”

The next day, when the sun was rising, Yue Fei led Ji Qian and others to the city and said goodbye to Zhao Buqian again. Originally, Zhao Butry knew that Yue Fei had sent someone to bring all the captured Jin soldiers and war horses to Kaide Mansion, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. However, seeing that Yue Fei had left all the tens of thousands of stone grains to himself, the unhappiness in his heart suddenly dissipated. Zhao Buqian is a self-aware person. He knew that Xiangzhou was short of food now, after all, he had been surrounded by Jin soldiers for more than half a year. Therefore, these grains can be said to solve the urgent needs of Xiangzhou. As for the war horse, even if it is given to himself, can he really train a cavalry army that can compete with the golden soldiers? Definitely not. Besides, even if Yue Fei took away all the food, there was nothing Zhao could do if he didn't try. After all, it was the Protectors who broke the gold, and it was the Protectors who counted the spoils.

At this time, the streets of Xiangzhou were full of people. The common people know how to be grateful. They knew that it was Yue Fei who saved the entire Xiangzhou. Now the benefactor is about to leave Xiangzhou, although he has nothing to give, but it is okay to come to the personal field.

Some wealthy squires in the city even urgently gave Yue Fei a big gift. They didn't know where to find out that Yue Fei liked Su Dongpo's words, and they actually found Su Dongpo's two calligraphy and paintings in one breath and solemnly gave them to Yue Fei.

Yue Fei was not polite, and laughed on the spot. He knew very well that these rich squires had the intention of moving to Yingtianfu when they saw the military might of the Protector Army. In this case, if they do not accept their gifts, they may feel uneasy in their hearts.

Yue Fei knew that there were many wealthy families in the Emperor and Song Dynasty, except for the incompetent people like Han Dagongzi, who ate the old books of their ancestors, most of them made their fortunes by relying on their real skills, just like Li Bashao. The relocation of these wealthy families to Ying Tianfu will only radiate the influence of Ying Tianfu to the surrounding areas. After all, these people's business has done everything in the world.

Zhao Butry arched his hand and said, "Zhao is here to wish General Yue all the best when he goes to Taihang." I also hope that General Yue will turn back to the sky, and then go to Xiangzhou. I would like to thank General Yue for his kindness. ”

It turned out that at Zhao Butry's request, Yue Fei asked Xiong Fei to lead fifty Beiwei troops to stay in Xiangzhou and temporarily serve as Zhao Buxian's command. Although Xiong Fei and the others didn't want to leave their own military commander, they could only obey the military orders.

Yue Fei arched his hand and said, "Borrow Lord Zhao's auspicious words." Yue Fei took his leave. ”

Yue Fei and the others left Xiangzhou. Zhao Butry led a group of colleagues to stand at the city gate and watch for a while before turning around and returning to the city. Only Xiong Fei led fifty back-to-back soldiers to stand straight at the head of the city, watching Yue Fei go all the way.

Xiong Fei's mind kept echoing Yue Fei's advice. "Xiong Fei, if the Jin soldiers come to the city, you have to send someone to keep an eye on the people of the Han family. I'm afraid they'll surrender the city. Xiong Fei unconsciously clenched the shiny steel knife in his hand.
