"Meng An, a native of Dezhou, Shandong, was a chivalrous man for half his life, and joined the People's Protector Army in the summer of the second year of Jingkang as the deputy commander of the Second Infantry Division. In the spring of the third year of Jingkang, the Jin chief Zongbi raided Caozhou, and the commander of Meng led thousands of people to fight bloodily for several days to repel Zongbi. Master Meng died of exhaustion. ”

"Guo Jin, a native of Langzhong, Shudi, was born as a homeless person, although he is brave, he would rather die of hunger than be a thief. He joined the People's Army and served as the flag commander of the infantry of the 1st Division. In the spring of the third year of Jingkang, Zhuludu fought a battle and cracked the golden chieftain. The secret arrow of the gold man is dead. ”

"Kou Cheng, a native of Tangyin, Xiangzhou, was originally a Tangyin horse archer, good at riding and shooting, and trained soldiers. He is the commander of the Protector Army. In the spring of the third year of Jingkang, outside the city of Caozhou, he died at the hands of the Jin people. ”

"Wang Zhuzi, a native of Dengzhou, a sergeant who protects the people, died outside the city of Caozhou."

"Zhang Dali, a native of Lushan, a sergeant who protects the people, died in Mengzhou."

In the Martyrs' Shrine of the Protector Army, thousands of sergeants held spears, murderous, white clothes like snow, standing silently. A group of soldiers were divided into two rows and stood in front of the Valhalla Monument. Yue Fei, Li Bashao, and Huang Zong stood in the front row, and every time Su Mai pronounced a person's name, the three of them would light a pillar of incense. As the incense burns more and more, the huge incense burner turns into a smoke flame, burning brightly.

From morning to noon, Su Mai, who was in charge of reciting the names of the Heroic Spirits, had a hoarse voice, but his spirit was still extremely high. After coming to Yingtianfu for a few months, Su Mai's mind completely changed. In the past, he thought that to protect his family and defend the country, it was all up to the literati to strategize and win a decisive victory. The cruel fact that the Jin people went south made him understand that the people who could resist foreign aggression were not literati, but those soldiers with no status, and farmers in tattered clothes. With repentance for his past prejudices, Sumai offered to ask for a roll call for the Heroic Spirit. In the steep spring breeze, Su Mai felt that what he was reciting was not a simple and simple name, but an unyielding soul.

But unlike Su Mai, the Ying Tian gentry, who was extremely attentive to the Immortal Shrine in the past, only came a few dozen people this time. These families with great careers, seeing that the Protector Army was in danger, had the idea of choosing a tree to live in. They didn't know that Huang Zong and Li Ba had already secretly recorded them in the book.

After months of fighting, the Protectors suffered tens of thousands of casualties. However, most of the Protectors have families and will follow their wishes and return their bodies to their hometowns, along with their generous pensions. Only dozens of generals, as well as thousands of homeless protectors, will be buried in the Shrine.

In the afternoon, the bones of thousands of Heroes were completely buried in the Ancestral Hall. Su Mai finally retreated with Yue Yun Niutong's support. Yue Fei stood under the Heroic Spirit Monument, turned to face thousands of sergeants, and said in a long voice, "Brothers, in the past three months, we have countless brothers who have died in battle, just to block the golden dog on the north bank of the Yellow River. We succeeded, because we used tens of thousands of horses and tens of thousands of iron horsemen to destroy Zonghan, and it was difficult for us to beat the golden dog. Tens of thousands of brothers who died in battle are enough to be blinded by the spirit of heaven. However, we also failed. Because of the gold reduction of Liu Yu, the prefect of Jinan, the Jurchen East Route Army took advantage of the situation and entered Caozhou. Under the city of Caozhou, we broke tens of thousands of Golden Dog Sects with thousands of men and horses, and beat the Golden Dog back to Dongping Mansion. However, our repeated battles did not win peace for the people of Yingtian, nor did we lay a happy land for the people of the Central Plains. Because the golden dog is here again. The golden dog burned more than a dozen villages in Yucheng County, killing tens of thousands of people, this revenge is not avenged, how can he be a Chinese man! ”

"But this time, we're not just dealing with an army of golden dogs. We also have to face the army of the imperial court. The faint monarch Zhao Gou, fearing gold like a tiger, abandoned the sky and fled to the south of the Yangtze River. We should rely on our own strength to pacify the rebellious army and resist the golden dog. This faint king has denounced us as thieves! What is a thief? What is Cole? Whoever steals the people is a thief, and whoever robs the people is a thief. According to this, the emperor is really the biggest thief in the world! What's more, the faint monarch's father and brother were taken captive, and Jingkang's shame was not snowed, but he secretly formed an alliance with the golden dog, marched on all sides, trying to destroy my people's army and destroy my Yingtianfu. It can be seen from this that this faint king is not only not a king, but also not even a man. ”

"However, I should be a good man for millions of people in Tianfu, and I will never give in before the enemy's butcher's knife. However, the tens of thousands of athletes of our People's Protector Army are all good men, and they will never be overwhelmed by the enemy's momentum. Before the many heroic spirits, Yue Fei just wanted to say one sentence: kill the golden dog, chase away the faint king, and return my people to the clear world. ”

"Kill the golden dog, chase the faint king, and return my people to the clear world." Thousands of sergeants responded in unison, and the sound was like thunder, which shook the nine heavens.

Huang Zong, Li Bashao, and Xue Bi glanced at each other, with both helplessness and excitement in their eyes. Although the Protector Army did not accept the orders of the imperial court, it never raised the banner of opposing the imperial court. It is precisely for this reason that the Protector Army can fight side by side with Zong Ze, and can maintain a superficial colleague relationship with the imperial army. But from today onwards, the Protector Army and the Imperial Court will be incompatible enemies. But the Protectors had no other choice.

Since the imperial court has openly denounced the Protector Army, if it still grovels, it will only make tens of thousands of Protectors deviate from morality and be secretly disintegrated by the imperial court. It is better to directly play the anti-flag, which not only interrupts the wishful thinking of the imperial court, but also makes some generals who have been in constant contact with the imperial court stop immediately.

Of course, the anti-flag has a great impact on the Protector Army. Zhao and Song have been emperors for more than 100 years, and the orthodox concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if Zhao Gou is like a woman, once she ascends the throne as the emperor, she will still attract the world. Perhaps from Yue Fei's words to expel the faint king, the enemies faced by the Protector Army are no longer only the imperial army, but also a large number of literati and heroes who regard Zhao and Song as orthodox throughout the world.

"Brothers, although we are infamous as thieves, we have done things worthy of the people, of our hearts, and of our country. We are men who stand up to the sky. This morning, Division Commander Zhang Xian had already led a large army to Qixian County, preparing to capture Bianliang. And tomorrow morning, we will send troops to Yucheng, and then meet with the Golden Chief Zongbi. We defeated Zong Bi once, but Zong Bi refused to accept it. Then this time, we're going to beat him to death! Martyrdom for more than 10,000 people in Yucheng. ”

"Kill Zong Bi and avenge the people."

Seeing the red eyes of thousands of soldiers in white, it was obvious that they were aroused to the sky. Most of the gentry who participated in the worship could not help but shiver. With such a sergeant and such a commander, could it be that Ying Tianfu really couldn't escape this catastrophe? No, it won't! The one who had the last laugh was definitely the Protectors.

Towards the end of the sacrifice, two strangers suddenly broke into the Valhalla.

These were two sturdy teenagers, about fifteen or sixteen years old, each carrying a long knife on their backs, dressed in filial piety clothes, and full of sorrow. In front of them and behind them were the backsworn sergeants who were facing the enemy.

Jiang Yan, the leader of the Beiwei Army squad who was in charge of guarding the door, came to Yue Fei, clasped his fists and said, "Yue Shuai, these two people claim to have come to worship Master Meng An, and the last general will not dare to forcibly stop them. ”

Yue Fei's heart moved, and he immediately thought that Meng An often said that he had two male grandchildren, both of whom were young heroes, could it be them? It's a pity that Meng Lin left Yingtianfu with Zhou Yi last night and went to deliver a message to the rebels in Taihang Mountain.

Because he is a high-ranking general, Meng An's tombstone is extremely conspicuous. The two teenagers walked to the monument, and suddenly knelt on their knees and let out a loud cry of sorrow. "Grandpa, grandson is late."

"Sure enough, it's them." Yue Fei thought to himself.

After the young man knelt three times and knocked nine times, he stood up, stared at his crying red eyes, walked in front of Yue Fei, knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said, "Little nephew Meng Bangjie, Meng Bangxiong, I have seen Yue Shuai." ”

Yue Fei picked up the two of them, "The two virtuous nephews are exempt. Heroic, he really deserves to be a young hero. ”

Meng Bangxiong took out two letters from his arms and said sadly, "Yue Shuai, this one is a letter written to us by my father Meng Lin. This is a letter from my grandfather, Meng An, to us. In their letters, they advised us to leave Texas and join the army. Grandfather Meng An asked us to join his army as two ordinary sergeants. I only hate my two brothers, they are arrogant, and they don't want to vote alone, so they recruited nearly 1,000 young people in Texas. Alas, if my two brothers had come as soon as they received the letter, how could my grandfather have died of exhaustion! ”

Speaking of this, Meng Bangxiong hated it.

Yue Fei and the Meng Lin brothers are commensurate and can be regarded as the elders of the Meng brothers. Seeing Meng Bangxiong's face of regret, he immediately said, "Bangxiong's virtuous nephew, Commander Meng An died on the battlefield, and he is a ghost male. There's nothing wrong with the two of you. It is also a good thing for young heroes to have high spirits. By the way, Brother Meng Lin went out last night. It looks like it will be a while before you father and son meet. ”

Meng Bangjie said, "Before we came to the Valhalla, we had already gone to the barracks to inquire. I heard that Yue Shuai was going to fight with the golden dog again, my brother was not talented, and he was willing to fight to the death with the Jin people for the sake of choosing a front. ”

Meng Bangxiong Meng Bangjie is twins, Meng Bangxiong is the elder brother and Meng Bangjie is the younger brother. Both of them have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and now they are sixteen years old, and they have already made a name for themselves in their hometown. Meng Bangxiong is calm, and Meng Bangjie is fierce. The two of them led nearly a thousand young men from Texas to Yingtianfu, and along the way, they fought with the bandits who occupied the mountains as kings, and also fought with the Han'er army that occupied the city. Outside Yunzhou City, Meng Bangjie also killed a thousand household chiefs of the Han'er Army. Hundreds of miles away, nearly a thousand young people lost nearly half, but the living young people have also become the elite of a hundred battles. Outside the city of Yunzhou, 500 young men killed 1,300 Han'er troops.

It is precisely out of trust in his brother that Meng Bangjie dared to volunteer and act as a selector.

Of course, there is another reason. It was the Meng brothers who wanted to make a great contribution before their father came back. In this way, he can show his face in front of his father, who has always scolded the two brothers.

Yue Fei saw that although Meng Bangjie and Meng Bangxiong had a sad face, he still couldn't hide his sharp spirit, and immediately smiled, "The two virtuous nephews are heroes, are you interested in joining the Beiwei Army temporarily?" ”

"The people are invincible, and the back is unparalleled." As the name of the Protector Army spreads all over the world, who in the world does not know that the Beiwei Army is the most elite cavalry army in the Protector Army, which can defeat the elite of more than 10,000 golden soldiers with hundreds of horses, and which hero does not want to join?

Meng Bangjie Meng Bangxiong immediately showed joy on his face, and replied in a loud voice, "Listen to Yue Shuai's orders." ”

"In this case, the two of you will temporarily serve as the captain of the Beiwei Army, and early tomorrow morning, you will leave the city and go to Yucheng. The golden dogs have been wreaking havoc in Yucheng for a long time, and it's time to give them some color. ”
