Chen Gutong said where the grain was hidden, and Yue Fei originally planned to release Chen Gubronze. Zhou Yi said, "Pengju, you give me Chen Gubronze." Brother Meng Lin and I went to arrest Guo Jing, and we must have used this person. ”

As soon as Yue Fei heard this, he understood that Zhou Yi had murderous intentions. But he still agreed to Zhou Yi's request. Zihe Zhihun Meng An rode back to the city. Anyway, he just promised to spare Chen Gutong's life, and Zhou Yi Menglin did not agree.

Besides, Chen Gutong caused chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, and in order to harm the sky, he burned Mulan Village, and he should have died a long time ago.

Not to mention how Zhou Yi Menglin disposed of Chen Gubronze, not to mention that Yue Fei and the three of them rushed back to Ying Tianfu City before it got dark.

The guards on the tower of the city have been waiting for the return of Yue Tuan's training envoy. At this time, when he saw Yue Fei approaching the city, he immediately opened his throat and shouted, "Yue Tuanlian has come back." ”

As soon as the city gate opened, Huang Zong and Li Bashao had already greeted them with smiles on their faces. Behind them, followed by dozens of squires who were famous in the city. Today, the people of Ying Tianfu are worried. Many people saw the sky-high flames of Mulan Village, and they were very worried about the protectors who left the city. I was afraid that Yue Fei's Protector Army would be wiped out by tens of thousands of Maitreya rebels, in that case, Ying Tianfu, who had just calmed down, would definitely not be able to escape the catastrophe.

It wasn't until an hour ago that Ji Qian and Xu Qing led the Protector Army to escort thousands of Maitreya disciples back victoriously, which made the hearts of the people in the city fall into place. When Huang Zong and Li Bashao heard Ji Qian talk about Yue Fei's more than 1,000 protector troops being ambushed, and Chen Shenxian's thousands of Maitreya disciples, as well as Mr. Jin's 600 cavalry army, they still broke out in a cold sweat knowing that Yue Fei had already turned defeat into victory.

Huang Zong and Li Bashao thought differently. What Huang Zong thought was that since the golden spy regarded Yue Fei as a thorn in his eye, it showed that Yue Fei was extraordinary. As long as you follow the Protector Army, you can definitely clarify the world. What Li Bashao thought was that Yue Fei was able to save the lives of most of Ying Tian's new army in the middle of the ambush, which showed that he had made the right move to entrust Ying Tianfu to Yue Fei. Although the Protector Army lost thousands of men and horses in one day and one night, and the local new army also lost more than 100 deaths, it defeated the Maitreya rebel army after all. The famous Chen Shenxian was also captured alive. It can be said that it is a big victory.

The other squires basically thought the same way as Li Bashao. They don't have Huang Zong's ambition to clarify the world, they just want to keep their own industry, and they would rather pay any price for it. When Ji Qian led the troops into the city, the parents of more than 100 casualties of the new army had already received the news of their son's death and injury from the mouths of the soldiers who went to the same place, and wept bitterly and entered the barracks with the new army, but the other gentry did not have the slightest idea of letting their sons and nephews quit the Protector Army.

But Yue Fei and Huang Zong, Li Bashao and others thought the opposite. In the face of Huang Zong and Li Bashao's sincere compliments, Yue Fei said a little ashamedly, "Elder Li, Brother Huang, this battle can be described as a complete failure, I am ready to apologize to the father and elder of the city, how can I be embarrassed to accept your compliment?" ”

Li Bashao said in surprise, "Why did Pengju say this? It can resist the onslaught of 600 cavalry with more than 1,000 new troops on the plains and wilderness, although the ancient good generals can't pass. And being able to defeat the tens of thousands of chaotic troops of the Maitreya Sect in one day and capture Chen Immortal alive is a great achievement. What is Pengju's crime? ”

Yue Fei Zhengse said, "Elder Li doesn't know. In this battle, Ji Qian's 600 cavalry army lost more than 100 people, Xu Qing's 2,000 infantry army lost nearly half, and my 1,000 new army also suffered more than 100 casualties, which can be described as heavy losses. How dare Yue ask for credit? The ambush of the new army is also a mistake that I, the main general, do not know about the enemy. ”

Huang Zong thought for a moment and said slowly, "Pengju, this battle is our victory after all. Besides, you admit that you have made mistakes, and although your character is high, you have some things that you don't know, and you only know one thing, but you don't know the other. ”

Yue Fei heard Huang Zong say that he didn't know what was going on, so he wasn't angry, and sincerely asked Huang Zong for advice, "Brother Huang, please speak up." ”

Huang Zong pointed his finger at the dozens of gentry who followed behind him, as well as the shops on both sides of the street that were open to welcome customers, and said in a low voice, "Pengju knows what the people of Yingtian want most?" It is stability. What is the news I want to hear the most, is the news of the victory of the Protector Army. Anger can be blown up but not vented. Although the losses of the Protectors this time were not small, they were still victorious after all. defeated the Maitreya Sect and captured Chen Shenxian alive. In the eyes of the people of the city, this is a great victory. If you only want to make a big publicity, how can you hurt your morale? ”

Yue Fei immediately understood the reason why Huang Zong and Li Bashao greeted him so ceremoniously. There is no other reason, just to make the gentry Yingtian more supportive of the Protector Army.

When he entered the city, Yue Fei had already introduced Zhihun Meng An to Huang Zong, Li Bashao, and other gentry to know him. When they learned about the deeds of the two of them resisting the Jin army in Zhongshan Mansion, everyone was in awe. In these years, no matter what your background is, as long as you dare to go head-to-head with Jin Bing, in the hearts of the people, you are the world's first-class hero.

When Meng An talked about the tragic scene of the fall of Zhongshan Mansion, everyone was embarrassed.

When they were about to walk to the barracks, Ji Qian, Xu Qing and others also picked them up. Yue Fei looked at everyone and suddenly asked a little strangely, "What about Zhang Xian?" ”

It turned out that the generals who came to greet Yue Fei were the only ones missing Zhang Xian.

The generals looked at each other, as if they didn't know what to say. It was still Ji Qian who arched his hand and said, "Yue Tuan Lian Envoy, Deputy Zhang Tuan Lian is now waiting for you to come back." ”

Yue Fei was a little confused, when he went out of the city last night, Zhang Xian was still a good deputy regimental training envoy, why did he become a guilty person today? Could it be that someone wants to frame Zhang Xian?

Yue Fei didn't have time to inquire about the reason, and strode into the barracks, and at first glance he saw Zhang Xian, who was tied to the camp tent with his armor removed.

Yue Fei's blood suddenly surged, his lightning-like gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the camp, and said loudly, "Who did it?" ”

Yue Fei's tone was extremely angry, as if it was about to erupt into a volcano. He was indeed angry, too. Ever since he got Yue Xiaofei's memory, Yue Fei swore that he would never let Zhang Xian be imprisoned and die with his father and son again in this life.

But what I didn't expect was that after not seeing him for a day, Zhang Xian was tied up in the barracks by Wuhuada. If he doesn't come back today, maybe Zhang Xian will be beheaded. Yue Fei wondered, who was so bold?

At this time, Zhang Xian spoke. "Don't be angry, eldest brother, this is tied by the younger brother himself. The younger brother violated the military law of the Protector Army and deserved the crime. ”

Yue Fei didn't ask which military law Zhang Xian had violated, drew a knife in his hand, cut the rope, picked up Zhang Xian from the ground, and looked up and down a few times, until he confirmed that Zhang Xian was indeed uninjured, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Zhang Xian said, "Big brother, I did violate military law, and I asked my eldest brother to punish him." ”

Yue Fei slapped Zhang Xian's shoulder with his hand, then turned his face to everyone and said loudly, "Governor Huang, Elder Li, squires, although I don't know which military law Zhang Xian violated, I will first ask for a favor for Zhang Xian here." If Zhang Xian is guilty, I, Yue Fei, will share it with him. ”

Zhang Xian's eyes were filled with tears all of a sudden. He knew that Yue Fei had always been the most important military law, but he didn't expect to break the rules for himself first today. "Big brother, don't. The eldest brother must not mess up the discipline of the people and the army because of the constitution. ”

The reason why Yue Fei dared to intercede for Zhang Xian first was because he knew Zhang Xian that he was righteous, light on life and death, and knew the severity of life, and it was absolutely impossible for him to violate military law. But since Zhang Xian admits that he is guilty, there must be his reasons.

Yue Fei set his eyes on Huang Zong. But after listening to Huang Zong's words about Zhang Xian's crime, Yue Fei couldn't help but have a headache.

It turned out that when Mulan Village caught fire this morning, Zhang Xian immediately guessed that something had happened to Yue Fei. Immediately prepared to go out of the city to rescue. At this moment, there was another civil strife in the Yingtianfu Armory. Thousands of craftsmen put on their own armor and took the best weapons they had made, and fought first in the armory, and then ran out into the streets.

Even if Zhang Xian was anxious, he had to put down the rebellion in the arsenal first. He led hundreds of new troops to the armory, and quickly quelled the civil strife in the armory. At this time, the fire in Mulan Village is getting bigger and bigger. Zhang Xian originally discussed with Huang Zong and Li Bashao, and he took 1,500 people out of the city to rescue Yue Fei. Huang and Li were also in favor.

But it was delayed by the civil strife in the armory, and it was noon. Zhang Xian said, "These new troops are all infantry, and it has been night since they ran to Mulan Village, so how can they have time to rescue Brother Yue." It can only be saved by cavalry. There are still hundreds of horses in the city, but most of these new protectors do not know how to ride horses. Only a few hundred soldiers and horses can be selected from the tens of thousands of soldiers who have been imprisoned. ”

Zhang Xian's plan was resolutely opposed by Huang Zong and Li Bashao. Li Bashao thought that the innocent rebels had already been released, and these tens of thousands of rebels were all stained with the blood of the people of Yingtian, and they must not be allowed to re-mount their horses and take weapons. Although Huang Zong also has the idea of letting these rebellious soldiers make meritorious contributions, it can't be at this time. In case these hundreds of rebellious soldiers who are good at riding and archery put on their armor and get on their horses, and suddenly do not listen to Zhang Xian's control and cause chaos in the city, wouldn't it make Ying Tianfu bleed. Even if they don't make trouble in the city, once they leave the city and immediately scatter and flee, what can Zhang Xian do to restrain them? Not only could he not save Yue Fei, but he was even in danger.

Zhang Xian pointed to the fire of Mulan Village and said loudly, "Have you seen it?" Since Mulan Village has caught fire, it proves that Brother Yue did not arrive at Mulan Village. Brother Yue must have been ambushed on the road. Brother Yue led only hundreds of old soldiers, and the other 1,000 people were all new troops. We are here to talk about everything, but Brother Yue may be in a dead end. No matter what your two opinions, I must go out of the city to rescue Brother Yue. ”

Then Zhang Xian made an amazing move. He actually locked Huang Zong, Li Bashao, and other squires in the big tent of the Chinese army, and ordered Yue Heng to watch it. He took his own soldiers to the camp where the rebels were imprisoned, and singled out hundreds of rebels who claimed to be good at cavalry and archery.

When Zhang Xian rushed out of Yingtianfu with hundreds of integrated rebels, he sent a personal soldier back to the camp and told Yue Heng to release Huang Zong, Li Bashao and all the squires. Zhang Xian asked the soldiers to transfer the message to Huang Zong, "Elder Li, Huang Governor, please forgive Zhang Xian for being bold." Brother Yue and I live and die together, and we must not watch him fall into a dead situation without saving him. This time I led my troops out of the city, and if I was defeated, I would die. If you win, you will return to the city to wait for the sin. ”

Zhang Xian went here with the intention of dying. He only had a dozen personal soldiers, but he had to come to command hundreds of rebellious soldiers who were mounted on war horses and armed with weapons. Even if these rebels were killed by Zhang Xian a few days ago and did not dare to riot, they still had the courage to escape.

Although Zhang Xian told the rebels that those who went out of the city with him to fight this time would be forgiven for all their sins. But there are still some rebels who would rather take their fate into their own hands. As soon as they left Ying Tianfu City, some rebels tried to escape from the team.

Zhang Xian had already prepared, drew his bow and was ready to fire, as long as he found someone trying to get out of the team, he would immediately shoot him to death with an arrow. Even so, three rebels still ran away.

If it weren't for Ji Qian's hundreds of cavalry, it is estimated that hundreds of rebels would have escaped. As soon as Ji Qian arrived, hundreds of rebel troops suddenly became honest.

After learning from Ji Qian's mouth that Yue Fei had won a complete victory, Zhang Xian immediately led his troops back to the camp. The first thing he did when he returned to the camp was to order his own soldiers to tie himself up and wait for Yue Fei to fall.
