When Wanyan Lou learned that some Jurchen soldiers had fled into the camp, he understood that something was wrong. After receiving the news that Pucha Shijianu was about to cross the river, he sent 5,000 iron horsemen, led by Wanyan Yan's mother, who had just recovered from her injuries, to meet Pucha Shijianu. Unexpectedly, the 30,000 Liumin Army relied on a camp left by Zong Ze to firmly block Wanyan Yanmu's road to Xingyangdu. Wanyan Yan's mother reported to Lou Mur that she was sure to defeat the exile army within three days. After Yan Lou's room, he did not send troops to Xingyangdu.

After all, Pucha Shi's slave was also a Jurchen general, bringing 20,000 Jurchen iron horsemen, including thousands of Jurchens, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong. Yue Nanman's soldiers are now tired and wounded, even if he knows that Pucha and his horses cross the river, I am afraid he will not be able to stop it.

Wanyan Lou's room did not expect that the reinforcements Pucha Shijianu, whom he had high hopes for, would be killed in less than three days after crossing the river. He summoned the defeated soldiers who had fled to the camp and questioned them carefully, only to learn that Yue Fei had not only mobilized all the capable forces of Bianliang, but also mobilized no less than 150,000 exile troops. The Pucha army was completely beaten to death by the tactics of the sea of people. According to the rout, they not only killed nearly 10,000 elite soldiers, but also killed at least 60,000 homeless. But there were too many displaced people, and they were pouring in from all directions. The Han'er army was too uncompetitive, and as soon as ten thousand households died, most of them surrendered. Because of this, the 20,000 gold soldiers were defeated so quickly.

"This Yue Nanban is really bold!" Wan Yan Lou Room gasped. "He dared to use the vagabonds and my big gold and iron to the death. What's even more ridiculous is that he even succeeded. ”

Wanyan Yan's mother, who retreated to the camp, said unconvinced, "General Lou Mur, I think it is Pucha's carelessness in Jingzhou. Our army will certainly not be afraid of those outcasts. To deal with those outcasts, you must first kill all their best generals, so that the outcasts will collapse without a fight. ”

Wanyan Lou shook his head, disapproving with Wanyan Yan's mother's opinion. "With Yue Nanman's elite Protector Army supporting, the Wandering People's Army will not be so easily defeated. What I'm worried about now is that Yue Nanman won't do the same to our army. ”

Wanyan Yan's mother shouted, "Yue Nanman's exile army is based on the village, and it can still fight with our army." If he dares to take the initiative, I will let him come and go. ”

Wanyan Lou Room raised his head, looked at the Lion Camel Gang in the east of the camp, and suddenly said with a little frustration, "Our army has attacked thousands of miles, and I wanted to fight a battle. Now not only did he fail to attack Yingtianfu, but he also folded Pucha's horse. Alas, this time to the east, it was really a mistake. A small lion camel hill blocked the way of our army. A few unknown generals of the Protector Army were able to fight with me. It seems that Marshal Zongwang still underestimated the potential of the Protector Army. ”

After Yan Yan's mother saw Yan Lou talking about the lion camel gang, she immediately lowered her head. He regarded himself as the first fierce general in the Jurchen Western Route Army, whether it was a confrontation with Quduan or an attack on Luoyang, he had all captured the flag and made many meritorious achievements. As a result, on the first day of the battle between the Lion Camel Gang and the Protector Army, he was seriously injured by a thunderstorm. If it weren't for the sacrifice of his own soldiers and the solid armor, he would definitely be beheaded by Jiao Wentong on the spot. Therefore, Wanyan Yan's mother now almost has a psychological shadow on Lion Camel Gang.

Wanyan Lou Room saw that Wanyan Yan's mother, who had always been bold, was also afraid of war, and her mood was even worse. But he really couldn't take the Lion Camel Hill. Xu Xuan, Li Henghe, Lin Zhang, and five people led 50,000 brave and brave homeless people to defend Dazhai, and Jiao Wentong's 2,000 elite horsemen went down to the camp from time to time to attack and kill once, so that Yan Lou did not dare to slack off at all. I was expecting Pucha Shijianu's reinforcements to make Bianliang chaotic, but I didn't expect that as soon as I crossed the river, I was annihilated by the whole army.

Wan Yan Lou also heard a piece of news from the mouth of the rout that he was most unwilling to hear. Yue Fei used a heavy reward to successfully turn all the nearly one million displaced people around Bianliang into soldiers. If Yue Nanman, a madman, not only led hundreds of thousands of homeless people to Shihuogang, but also brought these millions of homeless people who wanted money and wanted to go crazy. Thinking of that kind of consequence, Wan Yan Lou couldn't help but shudder.

Of course, Wan Yan Lou also knew that this concern was purely unnecessary. Pucha Shijianu's counterattack also caused Yue Fei to gather more than half of the more than 20,000 elite soldiers to lose, and it was absolutely unbearable to fight again in the short term. Now Wanyan Lou's room is most worried about the weather.

Seeing that the weather was getting hotter, the Jurchen soldiers were tired of the heat and thought about returning. Wanyan Lou knew that it was hopeless to attack Bianliang, and the reason why he did not withdraw his troops was to cover Wanyan Sali's surprise army.

Wanyan Lou also guessed that Yue Fei would definitely not be unprepared, but he was betting that Yue Fei did not have enough elite soldiers. No matter how brave the exiled army is, without the support of the regular army, it can't stop the iron hooves of the golden soldiers.

It can be said that Wanyan Lou Room now pins his hopes of victory completely on the Qijun who is drunk by Wanyan Sali. But this time, Wan Yan Sa Li's drink finally lived up to Wan Yan Lou's expectations. Crying Langjun really made half of the Central Plains cry.

Wanyan Sali led 20,000 iron horsemen, starry night, and in less than seven days, he stepped out of the eastern front of Songyue, and the soldiers were in Dengfeng. easily captured Dengfeng County, Wanyan Sa left the drink non-stop, directly along the official road, to kill Yuzhou.

Between the junction of Yuzhou and Dengfeng, there is a world-famous town, Shenyuan Town. Legend has it that the town of Shenyuan is the hometown of the beautiful Mink Zen of the Three Kingdoms. However, what makes Shenyuan Town famous all over the world is not the beautiful mink Zen, but the magical Jun porcelain that "enters the kiln and leaves the kiln with ten thousand colors".

The town of Shenyuan is the location of the official kiln where the Zhao and Song dynasties fired Jun porcelain. But only one town of Shenyuan, the best porcelain fired is enough for the world's dignitaries and nobles. There are tens of thousands of potters here, and the Beijing division sends eunuchs to supervise the work here all the year round.

After the exile of the Second Emperor Huiqin, the Central Plains fell into turmoil. The eunuchs sent by the imperial court to Shenyuan are missing. Most of the soldiers who oversaw the kiln were scattered. Tens of thousands of slave-like potters don't know where to go. Most of them are artisans who have been encircled by the imperial court. Except for being able to burn a good hand of porcelain, nothing else. Therefore, in addition to the dispersal of the potters who had a place to go, most of the potters even stayed in Shenyuan Town, and continued to fire porcelain under the leadership of the master craftsman Quartz.

In Quartz's words, "We are born to be a group of kiln workers, and no matter who rules us, we are also the life of the kiln." As long as we can make good porcelain, we can survive. Regardless of whether the Great Song Dynasty or the Golden Dog Court, I don't believe they don't use porcelain. ”

However, seven days ago, Dong Xian, the general of the Protector Army, led 15,000 cavalry from Yuzhou Bagua Terrace to Shenyuan Town. Seeing that the murderous cavalry had blocked the entire town, the potters were sure to be false if they were not afraid. Although the reputation of the Protector Army has long been heard by the potters, who knows whether it is true or not?

The master craftsman made quartz led more than a dozen master craftsmen, holding more than a dozen peerless porcelain fired to see Dong Xian. These porcelains were meant to be paid as tribute to the emperor. It's a pity that the old emperor was herding sheep in the north, and the new emperor was drinking in the south of the Yangtze River, and the quartz didn't know where to send it, so he stayed in Shenyuan Town.

As the leader of tens of thousands of potters, quartz certainly has two brushes. He didn't know where to find out, Dong Xian fought bravely and had strict military discipline, but he was greedy for money, and wherever he went, he did not refuse gifts from the squire.

More than a dozen peerless porcelain are brilliant, making the whole big tent full of treasure. Dong Xian's gaze lingered on the porcelain for a while, and he said with emotion, "Sure enough, it's a peerless treasure!" Such a treasure is not something that Dong is blessed with. ”

Quartz arched and smiled, "General Dong said with a smile. General Dong has repeatedly broken the golden dog, and his meritorious achievements are outstanding, and he is worthy of this peerless porcelain. ”

Dong Xian laughed and said, "It's not me Dong Xian who has repeatedly broken the golden dog, but Yue Shuai." Dong was defeated by the golden dog Wanyan a while ago. ”

Quartz glanced inside the tent and found that in addition to Dong Xian, there was also a sturdy young man with a full beard, a tall female general who was about as strong as the young man. Quartz secretly said in his heart, this female general must be the only female general in the Protector Army. I heard that she is a direct descendant of Mulan. I just don't know who that bearded young man is?

Just thinking of this, he saw Dong Xian turn his face and ask, "Ji Qian, do you think we should let Master Shi put the porcelain on the ground first, and then we will discuss business with him?" ”

Dong Xian is the commander of the cavalry division, and Ji Qian is only Yue Fei's personal guard captain, and Dong Xian is higher than Ji Qian in terms of position. But Dong Xian didn't dare to pretend to be above Ji Qian. Therefore, since Ji Qian led 5,000 cavalry to Yuzhou to meet Dong Xian, whenever there is military information, Dong Xian will discuss with Ji Qian.

Ji Qian grinned and laughed, "It's up to Senior Dong to decide everything." I'm here to fight. Lao Tzu thought that he would be able to drink that face. ”

Dong Xian was no longer polite, and immediately said to Quartz Zhengse, "Master Shi, do you know that Shenyuan Town will be destroyed?" ”

Quartz was taken aback. After listening to Dong Xian's words, I realized that a golden soldier and iron cavalry would be killed in Shenyuan Town in the near future. Although Quartz thinks that the golden dog will not kill all the potters. But he prefers to let the Protectors take the town of Shengai. Because Dong Xian's 15,000 cavalry came to the town, although it looked scary, not a single kiln was robbed. The golden dog is different, even if you don't kill all the potters, you will definitely rob the potters' homes.

Dong Xian went on to talk about his own arrangement. Shenyuan Town is the only way to go to Yuzhou. Therefore, this place will become a very tragic battlefield. Dong Xian persuaded Quartz to lead tens of thousands of potters to retreat to the Bagua Terrace first, anyway, where the official kiln of the imperial court was located. After the battle, return to Shenyuan Town. However, Dong Xian also asked Quartz to leave at least 10,000 potters to act as a military and civilian man to protect the people and cooperate in the fight against gold.

Quartz thought for a moment, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question, "Three generals, Shi heard that Ying Tianfu canceled the craftsman household system, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

This question can only be answered by Ji Qian. Although Dong Xian knew that the system of Yingtian Arsenal and the Imperial Court Armory Workshop was slightly different, he was not very clear about the differences.

Ji Qian nodded at Quartz and replied neatly, "Not bad." Not only in Tianfu, but even Xuzhou has canceled the artisan household system. My eldest brother has said more than once that there will be no artisan households in all areas under the jurisdiction of the Protector Army. Anyone who has a craft can choose to work in the armory workshop, or they can choose to start their own workshop. Of course, during the war years, most of the ordnance craftsmen still worked in the ordnance workshop. The monthly salary of the armory workshop is extremely high, with a minimum of twenty taels. The tallest Zhang Xiaobao master is taller than Yue Shuai's Yulu. ”

Quartz and the dozen or so masters behind him looked visibly excited. Quartz asked in a trembling voice, "We potters are also craftsmen, and we have been burning kilns for the imperial court for generations. Now that your Protectors are here, we are also considered to be craftsmen under the jurisdiction of the Protectors. May I ask General Ji, can we also cancel the status of the craftsman? ”

Ji Qian laughed and said, "What Brother Yue said is really true. Stonemasons, masters, don't hide it, before Yue Shuai sent me here, he told me about the problem of potters here. Yue Shuai said, except for the porcelain kiln built for the wealth of the people of the Central Plains, it cannot be privately owned by your potters. As for everything else, they are on par with Yingtian craftsmen. ”

"Does this mean that after this battle, our craftsmen will be free?" Quartz still couldn't believe it and asked again.

Ji Qian nodded affirmatively.

The faces of the master craftsmen were full of tears. Once a craftsman, generation after generation is a craftsman. The craftsman is a slave imprisoned by the imperial court, and he obviously has a hand of ancestral craftsmanship, but he can only live half a life. No matter which dynasty or generation, whether it is a Ming monarch or a tyrant, the attitude towards the craftsmen has not changed much. Unexpectedly, he came out to support the people's army and directly gave the craftsmen a free body.

Quartz and more than a dozen masters glanced at each other, and said resolutely, "Yue Shuai's great kindness, it will be difficult to repay it for eternity." Although the potters are lowly, they also know the truth that no merit is not rewarded. Tens of thousands of potters can also elect nearly 10,000 young people. In addition to the old and weak women and children retreating to the gossip platform, Shi was willing to lead the young man to stay in the town for the people's army to drive. ”

Dong Xian and Ji Qianhua Ruyu discussed it and agreed to Quartz's proposal. After all, as a master craftsman, quartz has the highest prestige among tens of thousands of potters, and it is best for him to lead the young and strong to cooperate.

Seeing that everyone agreed to his proposal, Quartz immediately prepared to withdraw from the big tent, convened the potters, and discussed the evacuation and the selection of young people. Dong Xian shouted Quartz. "Master Shi, we've seen enough of these porcelains you sent, so you might as well take them back."

Quartz said sincerely this time, "Three generals, although these porcelains are precious, each kiln can produce one or two pieces. Just ask the three generals to stay, and use it as utensils for eating and drinking. The small ones don't dare to take it back, they will be poked in the backbone by tens of thousands of potters. ”

Dong Xian blinked, looked at Ji Qian and said, "General Ji, since Master Shi is so sincere, let's accept these porcelain, okay?" ”

Ji Qian knew that Dong Xian was greedy again, and couldn't help but be extremely dissatisfied. Dong Xian is now a division commander, and his salary is extremely high, but he didn't expect to change his previous habits. However, when Yue Fei came, he told him that as long as Dong Xian did not take the initiative to ask for people's property, he should not worry about him. Although these porcelains were sent by quartz on their own initiative, they could not be wanted. Looking at the quartz as a master craftsman, still wearing patched clothes, you can see that the potters are also living a very miserable life.

Ji Qian frowned and was about to speak. But I heard Hua Ruyu speak, "Master Dong, Ji Qian, I think we will keep these porcelain." I have been to Sister Qingzhao's study, and when I saw the porcelain placed in it, it was not as good as these porcelain, and Sister Qingzhao already liked it very much. Let's borrow flowers to offer Buddha and give these porcelains to Sister Qingzhao. What do you two think? ”

Dong Xian and Ji Qian said in unison, "It's okay." ”
