Liu Ziyu said that he had recently joined the rebel army and was unworthy of his ability, and he was willing to ask Chu Tianya to allow him to lead a group of men and horses to recover Zhongshan and Hejian.

Chu Tianya believes that Liu Ziyu has been active in this area for a long time, and he is very familiar with various situations; In addition, Chu Tianya really wanted to reuse the talent of this young general, and it was indeed a good thing to give him some opportunities to make some contributions now, and it was no longer appropriate for him to take action.

So, Liu Ziyu led Chu Tianya to give him a thousand tigers and a general, Tang An, and looked at Zhongshan. Chu Tianya led the men and horses to rest in the suburbs.

Compared to when he came, now Chu Tianya has money, food and materials in his hands, and he can even hide in the warm carriage and drink two sips of good ginger tea. The wounded brothers were also treated with medicine, and the recuperation and recuperation of the wounded brothers were all too important for them.

In the battle of Zhending, the 8,000 cavalry lost 2,000, and the other 3,000 or 4,000 people were seriously wounded, and even the losses were not unheavy. However, Chu Tianya successfully disrupted the overall military plan of the Jin State, and the bridgehead they laid out on the border of the Great Song Dynasty was really fixed, and a large amount of military salaries and grain and grass placed here were empty, which was also a big loss for the Jin State. In the winter, the transfer of materials is the most difficult thing. The Jin people don't know how much time and how much manpower and material resources it took to prepare a sum of military funds for the southern expeditionary army in Zhending. It's good now, it's cheap to marry someone Chu Tianya.

This military fund alone can greatly delay the pace of Jin's southern invasion. No matter how strong their soldiers and horses were, they did not dare to fight hungry. The reason why Wanyan Zongwang quickly withdrew the soldiers and horses in Hejian and Zhongshan after the Battle of Zhending must also be out of material considerations - he didn't want all three granaries to be destroyed.

The three cities of Zhending, Hejian and Zhongshan are each other's horns, and they are a very solid iron triangle militarily. If one side is missing, the other city may face siege and collapse. I have to admit that Wanyan Zongwang is indeed a very calm commander, he did not immediately counterattack Zhending with a momentary will, but withdrew the men and horses between Zhongshan and He, and retracted his fist to regain momentum.

Chu Tianya could imagine that if Wanyan Zongwang attacked again, it would definitely be the power of thunder with all his might. In the past two years, the Jin State has successively absorbed the soldiers and horses of the former Liao State, and has continued to catch strong men and conscripts in the occupied areas, and their army has expanded from thousands of soldiers and horses at the beginning of the army to seven or eight hundred thousand!

Last year, the soldiers and horses of the east and west routes went south, and there were less than 200,000 people in total, which can be said to be a tentative blow. Looking at this frame of the Jin Kingdom now, it is definitely going to destroy the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop - if Zong Han and Zong Wang fly south with both wings again, it is estimated that the total number of soldiers and horses will not be less than 600,000!

This account is not known to everyone, including the monarchs and ministers of the southern kingdom and Zhao Gou, the king of Kang on the border. That is to say, there are many Khitans and Han people who fled from the Jin State under Chu Tianya's command, as well as those Qingwei who are familiar with the details of the Jin State, Chu Tianya knows it in his heart.

With an army of 600,000, if the soldiers came in two ways, the Great Song Dynasty was indeed irresistible. All the way to the west, Chu Tianya had no choice but to fight with Zong Han in Xiaocang Mountain; All the way to the Eastern Front, now that it has been recovered, the battlefield must be here. Chu Tianya didn't know how many soldiers and horses the imperial court was going to send to support King Kang, and with the usual style of the Great Song Dynasty, it would definitely not be more than 200,000.

This bit of soldiers and horses, coupled with Zhao Gou's ability, is estimated to be not enough to plug Zong Wang's teeth. But Chu Tianya couldn't take care of it much, and he was able to push the battlefield from the hinterland of Tokyo to Zhending, and he had already done his best. Now it depends on whether the officials and ministers in the court have woken up from their drunken dreams and death, and whether they will pay enough attention to the next battle of Zhending...... This kind of thing can really only be a divination from the sky, and no one has a score in their hearts.

If God is destined to die in the Great Song Dynasty, it is indeed not Chu Tianya's own strength that can return to heaven. The brains of officials and ministers are different from those of ordinary people. Even if the knife is on the neck, the first thing they think about is the struggle for power and suspicion. This bad root has been planted since the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and no one can cut it off.

Now, Chu Tianya can only "bless" Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, who was forced to drive ducks to the shelves, in his heart. Chu Tianya kicked him to the cusp and forced him to be a trendsetter and national hero of history; Whether he can get his wish or not depends on his creation!

Two days later, Liu Ziyu led the men and horses back, and none of them were bloodied or wounded, so it can be seen that not a single knife or soldier has been used. He reported the news that long before they arrived at Hejian and Zhongshan, the royal flag of the Great Song Dynasty had been planted at the head of the city - Zhao Gou had already done it!

This was a bit unexpected by Chu Tianya, and after a detailed inquiry, it turned out that on the same day that Zhao Gou waved his troops to Zhending, he sent several of his generals to lead a brigade to ride quickly to take the empty city between Zhongshan and Hejian. The Jurchens left nothing behind, and when they left, they each set a few fires in the city and killed some people. It can be said that Hejian and Zhongshan are almost two empty cities full of devastation!

"Slaughtering the city in your own city, it will be broken jade and not a whole tile, and the Jurchen animals are ruthless enough!" Chu Tianya took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "In this case, it will be no benefit for our army to stay here any longer - let's go, go back to Taiyuan!" ”

Before Chu Tianya's order was issued, Liuhe hurriedly came up and whispered, "My lord, Suzaku and the nobles haven't come back yet." ”

"Can't wait." Chu Tianya sighed, "Thousands of brothers are entrenched here, and if you stay for one more day, you will have one more danger of long nights and dreams." The people of Jin Guo are about to start, and Yan Zonghan doesn't know what good things he has prepared for us, so he will arrive in Taiyuan soon. ”

Liuhe nodded silently. He knew that Chu Tianya wanted to see the Vermilion Bird and the nobles immediately more than anyone else. But compared with the lives of thousands of brothers, especially thousands of wounded, and the situation in Hedong as a whole, the lord can only sacrifice the small to take the big!

"Order, the whole army marches to Huanglong Valley - Anu leads five hundred tiger horsemen as outposts, and Jiao Wentong escorts supplies from behind to take care of the wounded!"

Thousands of people moved in their entirety, looking at the Yellow Dragon Valley.

The weather is still cold, splashing water into ice. Although a great victory was fought, the 8,000 cavalry suffered losses and those who survived were also wounded, so the time of withdrawal was far less vigorous than when they came.

That night, the army was stationed at the mouth of the Huanglong Valley. When the tent was just set up, a small group of cavalry rushed to the northeast corner, and the sentry replied that it was King Kang's men and horses who had come to "farewell" the friendly troops east of the river.

Chu Tianya said with a smile, it seems that although King Kang hates me to death, he doesn't want to completely turn his face with me, maybe he still expects me to send a team of people from the Yellow Dragon Valley one day to help him.

Jiao Wentong and the others all laughed, saying that people like King Kang are the best at this technique, and in their eyes, there are no eternal enemies and friends, only eternal interests!

Originally, Chu Tianya didn't pay attention to this trivial matter, and the things that King Kang blocked were nothing more than some wine and cloth, which was called the general's army. However, the person who came to deliver these things made Chu Tianya's eyes shine - Yue Fei!!

Hearing this, Chu Tianya trembled with excitement in his heart: I finally saw the living one!

So Chu Tianya and the others set up a formation in the tent and officially met Yue Fei.

Yue flew up, taking two of his comrades, one of whom was Zhang Xian.

"Yue Fei, the last cavalry envoy, has seen the general!" Yue Fei clenched his fists in the tent, and said in a very official tone, "Yue Fei was ordered by King Kang to see off the general and join the army. His Royal Highness King Kang said that the general had worked hard for the country and the people, and he deserved to be honored for recovering the city; Xiao Wang was not ashamed of the fact that there were many collisions and offenses at the beginning of the military, and he hoped that the general would be relieved and not care; Xiao Wang is willing to live and die with General Hedong in Hebei! ”

Hearing Yue Fei's words, Jiao Wentong and the others all laughed - it was exactly what the lord expected, King Kang knew that he was about to be beaten by Jin Ren, and he would never let go if he could catch a straw now!

Chu Tianya didn't laugh, he watched Yue Fei look up and down inch by inch in a daze, for fear of missing any details.

After Yue Fei finished speaking, Chu Tianya still looked at him and did not answer.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, Yue Fei was even more confused, so he looked up at Chu Tianya. It's okay not to look at this, but at a glance, Yue Fei's face also showed a look of consternation-General, you are so young?!

Chu Tianya finally saw Yue Fei's face clearly, resolute, handsome, his eyes were like magic lamps, and his body was majestic and upright—a natural martial artist!

Liuhe, who was standing behind Chu Tianya, lightly touched Chu Tianya.

"Oh! ......" Chu Tianya came back to his senses and smiled slightly, "Please go to His Royal Highness King Fukang, just say that Chu knows his mind and is willing to coexist with King Kang." ”

"Yes." Yue Fei hugged a punch and didn't look at Chu Tianya anymore, "In this way, I will go back to my life at the end!" ”

"General Yue, please stay!" Chu Tianya stood up.

Jiao Wentong and the others couldn't help but be stunned: A military envoy, is the lord like this? And call him a general?

Yue Fei, Zhang Xian and the others were stunned, Yue Fei clenched his fists and said: "The general is misnamed, and the last one is only at the level of a military envoy, not a general." ”

"Not now, soon enough." Chu Tianya walked up to Yue Fei with a smile and said, "Since you are not used to me calling you a general, then I will call you Pengju!" ——Although Chu is in Hedong, he has heard the name of Pengju for a long time. Lingtang once tattooed on your back, so that you are determined to serve the country. You are skilled in martial arts, and you can be said to be powerful against thousands of people and turn the tide. Now there is a military envoy in the district, hey...... Current events are a reality! ”

Yue Fei, Zhang Xian and the others were surprised!

"Why does the general know so much about Yue?" Yue Fei was surprised, "Even my mother once knew about the tattoo on Yue's back?" ”

Jiao Wentong and the others were also puzzled, and looked at Chu Tianya in surprise.

Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "I have a teacher, and I am a good friend of the old master Zhang Dong Zhang. I heard from his old man. Since you are a senior disciple of the elder Zhang, you are a brother with me. ”

Yue Fei looked at Chu Tianya in surprise, "From the time the ancestor passed away to his death, he never mentioned when he had a 'rebellious friendship', let alone the name ......of the general."

Chu Tianya smiled, "My teacher saw it, you may not know it; But when the name is spoken, you will know. There will be no doubt that he is a close friend of Lingshi. ”

"Yue would like to hear about it?"

Chu Tianya smiled and said: "His old man's original surname is Chen, and he used to work as a teacher in the Tokyo Bow Horse Children's Institute with Master Ling. Now, it is Chu's teacher. ”

"Is that him?" As soon as Yue Fei heard this name, a trace of anger suddenly appeared on his face, "This person Yue has heard of it, it is true that he works with the ancestor master, but it is definitely not a bad friend!" On the contrary, they do not conspire with each other, and they are enemies! ”

Chu Tianya's heart was stunned: It's bad, I didn't climb my relatives, and I pulled out the enemy!

"How so?" Chu Tianya didn't ask, Jiao Wentong asked.

Yue Fei obviously didn't really pay attention to this room full of high-ranking officials and generals and Hedong heroes, he looked around at everyone and snorted coldly, and said: "Back then, Chen Xizhen helped the people to abuse, and Fang La and his ilk were in trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, shaking half of the Great Song Dynasty. How dare such a thief be compared with his ancestors? The ancestor was determined to uphold justice and serve the court all his life, so how could he be in the same league with Chen Xizhen and others? - General, please don't compare this person's name and surname with the ancestor! The ancestor is in the spirit of the sky, especially afraid of humiliation! ”

"You're bold!!" Jiao Wentong was furious, raised his hand and pointed at Yue Fei, "Just a military envoy, dare to make such a big statement in front of my lord!" ”

Liuhe and the others were also angry, after all, Old Man He was the head of Qingwei, and he was also the Taishan Beidou whom they admired and respected together!

Yue did not mean to be offended. It's just that the ancestor is heroic, and he can't help but speak out! Yue Fei was neither humble nor arrogant, nor angry, and said with a straight face to Chu Tianya, "If the general is angry, he will fall from Yue!" But please don't involve the name of the ancestor again, and don't involve His Royal Highness King Kang! ”

Chu Tianya looked at Yue Fei, smiled slightly, and nodded lightly, "I don't blame you. The Tao is not the same, it is like this. ”

"Thank you, General Haihan!" Yue Fei hugged another punch, and then hugged everyone in the tent, "Yue Mou is so offended!" - Farewell! ”

With that, turn around and leave.

Chu Tianya had ten thousand thoughts in his heart to leave him behind, and at this time, he had to let him stride away.

The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other.

Chu Tianya knew that in Yue Fei's eyes, whether it was Chen Xizhen or Chu Tianya, they were all bandits and bandits who brought disaster to the country and the people. His personality is full of sharp edges and corners, and there is only black and white in his eyes......

Character determines fate, perhaps, this is an important reason why Yue Fei died in Fengbo Pavilion in history?

Jiao Wentong and the others were so angry with Yue Fei that they scolded angrily, saying that it was better to cut these Yue Fei with a knife, but they would also relieve their hatred! Just offended the lord like this, bumped into the general, and cut him Zhao Gou couldn't let out a fart.

Chu Tianya smiled and hurriedly waved his hand, "You can't cut it, you can't cut it!" There are fewer and fewer interesting and useful people like him in the world, I can't cut it down! ”

Liu Ziyu smiled, "The lord loves talent as much as his life, and he is thirsty for talent, but it's a pity that Yue Fei doesn't appreciate it, and he doesn't conspire with each other...... According to his subordinates, it is impossible for Yue Fei to switch to the command of the lord! ”

"If he doesn't join me, he can still do a career! Am I going to kill him just because he doesn't follow me? Chu Tianya said with a smile, "There are not many people in the Great Song Dynasty who can use it, how can Chu do this kind of thing of boiling cranes and burning the qin?" ”

"Having said that, this Yue Fei is too arrogant!" Jiao Wentong's fiery temper seemed to have been aroused by Yue Fei, and his squinting eyes were already bursting with murderous aura, "According to Jiao's past character, he is now a ghost!" ”

Chu Tianya smiled, laughing without saying a word.

The others laughed and laughed.

But everyone thought in their hearts, this is the difference between Chu Tianya and Jiao Wentong; The reason why the development of Qixingzhai at that time was no longer stagnant when it reached a certain scale was not because of Jiao Wentong's character?

Yue Fei was presumptuous in front of Chu Tianya, not only was he not cut, but he didn't even get a word of reprimand, which was somewhat unexpected by himself, Zhang Xian and others. Before leaving, Chu Tianya also sent Liu Ziyu to send Yue Fei, one was to return the favor to King Kang with some gifts, and the other was to send some things to Yue Fei.

Yue Fei didn't ask for it, and he didn't say a word, just took the gift for King Kang and left.

Liu Ziyu reported to Chu Tianya that this Yue Feiqing was extremely arrogant, and he was better than Second Brother Jiao. Chu Tianya smiled and said that anyone who has the ability has a bit of this stinky temper. Jiao Wentong and Yue Fei, including the other leaders of the Hedong Rebel Army that you are about to know, all have an arrogance in their chests that can rush to death.

Liu Ziyu immediately felt that it was not easy for Chu Tianya, the lord, to do it. First of all, this broad mind and strength are not comparable to ordinary people.

The army rested all night, and in the middle of the night, Chu Tianya was about to fall asleep after reading the book for a while, when suddenly there was a report from Liuhe outside the tent, "Lord, the Suzaku and the nobles are back!" ”

Chu Tianya jumped up suddenly, "Quick, come in!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the curtain was knocked open, and the nobleman covered in snow and cold wind had already rushed into Chu Tianya's arms.

"I thought I'd never see you again!!" The nobleman cried hysterically!

Chu Tianya hugged her and patted her on the back. Seeing that, Suzaku walked in with his head bowed, stood at the curtain, and smiled at Chu Tianya.

She was still wearing a mask, but Chu Tianya knew that she was smiling. Because she is the kind of woman who is used to smiling with her eyes, she is so charming that she can't be more charming.
