Although Du Chong felt sorry for 300,000 quintals of grain, he was more worried about his life. Therefore, he arranged people and horses very quickly, and early the next morning, he sent ten thousand people to push the cart and send 300,000 loads of grain and 100,000 loads of grain and grass to the camp of the people's protection army.

When Yue Fei saw Du Chong so upright, he no longer embarrassed Du Chong, but just left the tens of thousands of people who delivered grain and went to Luoyang together. Because Yue Fei came to Bianliang, he didn't expect Zong Ze to be squeezed out of Luoyang, so there were only 3,000 people with the army. Now that there is so much more grain and grass, it is obvious that 3,000 people cannot transport it. These people can only be forced to stay.

Yue Fei was originally worried that these people would not want to join the army. Who knew that when the people were sent to talk about the army, all the people were willing to follow the people's army. The dozen or so elected leaders of the people had only one requirement, that is, to be able to go to Yingtianfu to work after the war.

You must know that these people are also hungry and full in Bianliang City, and they have food to eat when they have work, and they have nothing to eat if they don't have work. Today's Bianliang is no longer the Bianliang of two years ago, when Bianliang gathered the wealth of the world, the pavilions were like clouds, and the rich were like rain. Whether it is a rice flower or a poor passerby, as long as you are willing to give up your face, you can always get a little food on the street. Today's Bianliang is a huge ruin, and even the imperial palace has been demolished and broken by the Jinren. Whether it is a rich person with a lot of money or a middle-class family with a little surplus, they have now become slaves of the golden people, eating ice and lying in the snow and ice.

Now in the hearts of the world's displaced people, Ying Tianfu has become the second Bianliang. Legend has it that as long as you arrive at Yingtianfu, you will have at least one bowl of gruel to drink every day. Therefore, the greatest wish of these people is to work in Yingtianfu.

Yue Fei knew that these folk men must have listened to the rumors, but he didn't correct them. Although the rumors are exaggerated, the current Yingtianfu and Xuzhou Mansion do only have people who are lazy to death, and there are no people who starve to death. Workshops were set up in various villages and towns. As long as you are willing to work and contribute, you can still support your family.

The Protector Army left Bianliang and traveled for ten days, and finally arrived in Yanshi County, Luoyang, and caught up with Zong Ze's car. Zong Ze is now in Yanshi City. Because Zong Han's army was on the other side of the Yellow River, in the Jiyuan area of Mengzhou, and confronted the rebel army of Yanshi across the river.

Half a month ago, Zonghan's former army crossed the river through Zhulu and arrived at the bottom of Bishui Pass. At this time, the guard of Bishui Pass was Li Cheng, a double-sword general. Since Li Cheng was captured by Yue Fei at the foot of Erlong Mountain and sent to Bianliang, Zong Ze originally wanted to kill Li Cheng, but because he cherished Li Cheng's ability, he finally decided to let Li Cheng make meritorious contributions.

After this defeat, Li Cheng also understood that Tao Zisi, the Taoist chief, was completely talking nonsense. also completely extinguished the little ambition that had just burned. In order to repay Zong Ze for his grace of not killing, Li Cheng came to Bishui Pass again, and he really threw himself on the city defense.

Li Cheng first personally led 5,000 elites out of the city to fight, and killed 10,000 elite soldiers of Sha Guzhi for a long time, and then led his troops to retreat into the city when the defeat was revealed.

Shaguzhi sent 30,000 servant troops to surround Bishui Pass and attack it for seven days. The closest to victory, the Jin army and horses were killed by seven or eight hundred people on the city wall. However, Li Cheng was wearing three layers of heavy armor, holding the latest cast double swords, rushing left and right on the city wall, and beheaded 27 warriors of the Jin army in a row, which finally made the Jin army frightened and took the initiative to break into the city wall. In that battle, Li Cheng also suffered more than ten wounds.

As Zong Ze's hundreds of thousands of troops killed Yanshi, Sha Guzhi took the initiative to retreat to Zhuludu and guarded the passage of the Jurchen army across the Yellow River.

Zong Ze personally led the army to Yanshi, which was completely beyond the expectations of Zong Han and Sha Guzhi. Zong Han had already learned from the intelligence that Zong Ze had built thirty-six camps between Luoyang and Bianliang, preparing to defend the camp. Of course, Zong Han couldn't imagine that the newly appointed emperor was still as stupid as the second emperor of Huiqin, and at the moment of life and death, he still only cared about intrigue and dismantled each other.

Zong Han was worried that Zong Ze would make a desperate bet, so the whole army attacked Zhuludu and recaptured the only passage to the south bank of the Yellow River. Therefore, it is strictly ordered that the sand and ancient quality are strictly guarded by Zhuludu. As a general who has been fighting on the battlefield for more than 20 years, although Sha Guzhi despises the Song army, he does not dare to underestimate Zong Ze. This stubborn old man with a fiery personality has never been afraid of fighting with the Jin people.

A few days before retreating to Zhuludu, Sha Guzhi was worried every day that Zong Ze would lead the army to attack. With 10,000 Jurchen elite cavalry and 30,000 servant troops, to deal with Zong Ze's army of more than 300,000, Sha Guzhi was not sure at all.

Zong Han's army stopped in the area of Jiyuan Mengzhou and was entangled with the rebels on Taihang Mountain. Dozens of rebel armies on Taihang Mountain are like wolves, attacking from time to time. Among them, Niu Gao and Wang Yan were even more powerful, and they dared to pull a large army to attack Zong Hanzhong's army. The fierce general Fu Qing broke into Zong Han's army with a big knife, and almost stabbed Zong Han as a result.

Zong Han was furious and began to send troops to encircle and suppress the Taihang Righteous Army. If he didn't clean up the Taihang Righteous Army, Zong Han really didn't dare to cross the river with the whole army. Because the current Taihang Righteous Army is completely higher than a year ago, its combat power is completely up two grades.

Sha Guzhi waited in fear for seven days, but he didn't see Zong Ze's army attacking. only learned from the spy that after Zong Ze arrived in Yanshi County, he never issued a second order except for sending Lu Qing to Luoyang with 10,000 elite soldiers. It seems that Zong Ze hurriedly marched hundreds of miles, just to keep his troops out of Yanshi County.

This kind of behavior that was completely inconsistent with Zong Ze's character made Zong Han a little confused. On the contrary, it was Jin Thirteen, who accompanied the army, who broke the heavens. "Zong Ze is over sixty years old, and his sex is like fire. This time, he was suspicious of the imperial court, and he was forced out of Bianliang by the cowardly Du Chong. There must be a fire in my heart. I think Zong Ze must be sick. Maybe it's still very serious. Otherwise, according to Zongze's character, he would have already waved his army to attack Zhuludu. ”

Zong Han's eyes lit up, and he said with great certainty, "The thirteenth brother is right. Zong Ze's old thief must be very sick. This is really the day is going to die in the Great Song Dynasty, and the sky is going to prosper my big gold. Song Zhiliang general, only Zong Ze is alone. As soon as Zong Ze died, the rest were like chickens and dogs, vulnerable to attack. ”

Speaking of this, Zong Han added, "Of course, that Yue Fei should not be underestimated. However, Sairi will definitely contain Yue Fei's Protector Army. We are here, first defeat these grass robbers in Taihang Mountain, and then cross the river in a big way, defeating the old thief of Zongze in one fell swoop. ”

Wanhu Samoulu answered next to him. "I'm afraid that by that time, the old thief of Zongze will have already returned to heaven."

Jin Thirteen guessed very accurately. Zong Ze is indeed sick. When Yue Fei came to Yanshi County Ya, he saw Zong Ze's face lying on the bed, and he knelt on the ground at that time, crying silently.

A year ago, Yue Fei was still a soldier under Zong Ze. At that time, Zong Ze, although his hair was snow-white and wrinkled, his face was ruddy and his eyes were bright. Between Gu Pan, he is not angry and self-threatening, and has a terrifying momentum.

Today's Zong Ze is so thin that he is out of shape. The official uniform on his body simply became a sheet, wrapping Zong Ze's thin body. Zong Ze's face was pale and gray, obviously carrying a dead air.

The face that used to be a little thin is now completely gone. Only one piece of skin is left on top of the facial features. The two eyes were also dim, and they no longer had the momentum of a year ago.

Yue Fei knelt in front of Zong Ze's bed and shouted with great grief, "Zong Shuai, I'm Yue Fei." ”

At this time, there were more than a dozen people guarding Zong Ze's room, including Zong Pan, Chen Qu, Cao Cheng, Li Cheng, Zhang Yong, Ma Gao, Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin, all of whom were generals valued by Zong Ze. But these generals all understood that Yue Fei, who had just entered the account, was the talent that Zong Ze valued the most.

Before Zong Ze fell into a coma, he had always told the generals that the righteous army was unbearable for the field, and if they wanted to repel Zong Han, they had to rely on Yue Fei's tens of thousands of protectors. Although Cao Cheng was not convinced, he did not dare to take the initiative to fight with the Jin army. After all, these rebels are the capital of Cao Cheng's life, if he fights with Zong Han cleanly, how can he make contributions in this troubled era.

Seeing Yue Fei enter the tent, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. In addition to feeling the generals, they also secretly obeyed Zong Ze's ability to recognize people. Zong Ze said that Yue Fei would definitely bring troops, and Yue Fei really brought troops.

Zong Pan wiped a handful of tears and stepped forward to help Yue Fei. "General Yue, my grandfather has been waking up from a faint for the past few days. Dr. Liu, who was with the army, was helpless. We went to Luoyang Guanlin to ask the divine doctor Pang He. It's just that the miracle doctor hasn't arrived yet. ”

Yue Fei stopped his tears, glanced at the unconscious Zong Ze, gritted his teeth and said, "Zong Shuai's body has always been very good. How did you suddenly get so sick? ”

The generals in the tent looked at each other. In the end, Zhang Yong said, "It's not that I'm angry with the imperial court!" Zong Shuai's efforts for most of the year were put on thirty-six camps. As a result, the imperial court issued an order and sent Zong Shuai to Luoyang. At that time, Zong Shuai vomited a mouthful of blood. On the third day of Bianliang, Zong Shuai was a little bad. When it came to Yanshi, it became like this. It's all the mediocrity and incompetence of the imperial court. The Bianliang defense line let Zong Shuai defend it, and the golden dog didn't want to move in an inch. But let Du Chong, that incompetent villain, guard, it is estimated that the golden dog can drive straight in. ”

Chen Quan is Zong Ze's personal general and has always admired Zong Ze, but as a general who was born as a Jinshi, Chen Quan is a model of loyalty. Seeing Zhang Yong's accusation of the imperial court in his words, Chen Qu hurriedly said out loud, "Zhang Yong is talking nonsense. As courtiers, thunder and rain are all gentlemen. If Zong Shuai is awake, he won't be able to hear you. ”

Zhang Yong stomped his foot fiercely and scolded in a low voice, "I'll go to his thunder rain and dew Jun'en." ”

Yue Fei understood the root of Zong Ze's illness at this time. But if you want to cure Zong Ze's illness, there is no better way. Zong Zezhong was suspicious, and naturally a cloud of anger accumulated in his heart. In addition, he was worried that Du Chong would destroy the Bianliang defense line, and the two gases were in one place, which forced down the hardest old man in the Great Song Dynasty.

Huang Zong, who followed Yue Fei in, also learned a little medical skills. He put his hand on Zong Ze's wrist and ticked his pulse. The face also changed color. Because he felt that Zong Ze had faintly reached the realm of running out of oil and running out of lamps.

Of course, Huang Zong didn't dare to say this in front of the generals in the hall. Just as he was hesitating, Zong Ze suddenly opened his eyes.

"Is it Pengju? I vaguely heard Pengju's voice just now. Is it Pengju? ”

Yue Fei held Zong Ze's hand and said sadly, "Zong Shuai, I'm Yue Fei. I've arrived. I'm here at Yanshi. ”

A smile appeared on Zong Ze's face. "Good. I knew you were coming. A lot of people think you have the ambition to stand on your own feet. But I believe you will come. I, Zong Ze, didn't look at the wrong person. How many troops do you bring? In this battle with Zong Han, your Protector Army is the main force. ”
