Zhou Yi decided to take a gamble. He knew that the statues of the folk Taoist temples were all clay sculptures, and the appearance was golden and brilliant, but the stomach was empty. I hope this statue of Fuxi is no exception.

Zhou Yi walked into the Fuxi Temple, knocked the statue with his hand, it was empty, and he immediately put his mind at ease. Although the idol was seated, it was also more than a man tall. Zhou Yi turned to the back of the statue and smashed a big hole with a punch, hiding Meng Lin in the statue.

When he turned around to leave, Meng Lin grabbed Zhou Yi, "Senior Brother Zhou, the chasing soldiers have arrived, there is still time here, you can hide here." ”

Zhou Yi shook his head, "I must lure these cavalry away." Brother Meng, don't worry, don't forget that my nickname is a gust of wind. ”

Zhou Yi rushed out of the Taoist temple, carried the little Taoist priest who was kicked to death by Jin Er, and just ran a few dozen steps before he ran into the thirty cavalry roaring around. Zhou Yi immediately fled to the crop field. The cavalry who rushed over divided half of their men and horses to chase Zhou Yi. The other cavalry turned over and dismounted, only to see Xia Si fainting on the ground, and Jin Er dead.

Zhou Yi was right. After the cavalry woke up Xia Si, Xia Si was knocked unconscious by Zhou Yiyi's punch when Jin Er was injured. I only saw that Meng Lin was injured, but I didn't see the scene where the Taoist priest was kicked to death by Jin Er. Although it was guessed from the wound on Jin Er's neck that Jin Er died at the hands of Guo Jing. Xia Si still told the cavalry who came over that it was Guo Jing who escaped and Meng Lin who was carried away by him who killed Jin Er.

Xia Si decided to return to Huashan to find the nine-tailed fox boss hidden in the mountains and tell him the news of Chen's death and Guo rebellion. As a Xixia person, he was not familiar with the Central Plains, and he had no way to deal with Guo Jing, a local snake. I believe that the boss has his own way to find Guo Jing. Even if he hid in a rat hole, it wouldn't work.

The cavalry chasing Zhou Yi came back an hour later, lost five horses, and still chased Zhou Yi away.

Zhou Yi is known as a gust of wind, one is fast, and the other is fast. Although it is not as good as a war horse galloping at full strength, this is at night, and these war horses will definitely not be able to gallop at full strength. Zhou Yi picked uneven places to run. Naturally, these cavalrymen suffered a lot. They shot a few arrows at Zhou Yi, but only hit the Taoist priest who was dragged behind by Zhou Yi.

If it had been flat land, they would definitely still be able to catch up with Zhou Yi. But when he ran more than two miles away, a river appeared. As a result, Zhou Yi jumped into the river with the Taoist priest on his back. These cavalrymen waited by the river for a long time, and they didn't wait for Zhou Yi to emerge from the water. I can only go back in a huff.

Hearing that the pursuers shot the man on Zhou Yi's back, Xia Si thought that he must have shot Meng Lin to death. He and the cavalry left Fuxi Temple with Jin Er's corpse, and they never thought that there was a big living person hidden in Fuxi Temple.

It was precisely because Fuxi Guan maintained the appearance of Xia Si coming out of it, the door was not closed, and the incense was not extinguished, that Xia Si had the illusion that there was no one in the view. Not long after they left, Zhou Yi, who was drenched, returned to Fuxi Temple, took Meng Lin, who had been unconscious, out of the statue, said a word of disturbance to Fu Xiye, and carried Meng Lin to Liulin Town in the west of Zhunning Mansion to treat his injuries.

There is a hero in Liulin Town who is familiar with Zhou Yi, named Liu Ba, who is good at using double knives. It's a dart head that walks short darts. Zhou Yi and Meng Lin lived in his home to recuperate from their injuries. One stay is half a month. Just when Meng Lin recovered from his injuries and the two were about to continue to track down the whereabouts of the nine-tailed fox, they learned an astonishing news from Liu Ba that the Golden Sword Wang Shan led 100,000 people to leave Taikang and was going to attack Yingtianfu.

Zhou Yi immediately asked Liu Ba to hurry to Yingtian and tell Yue Fei the news.

When Yue Fei got the news that Wang Shan was coming to attack Yingtian, he couldn't help frowning. He can be sure that the news is true. Because after Liu Ba came, Yue Heng's scout camp also found a large group of rogue Kou attacking Yingtian at the border of Yingtianfu.

The Golden Knife King is not an ordinary rogue. When Yue Fei was still farming at his home in Xiangzhou, Wang Shan was already a famous horse thief leader in the Daimyo Mansion. led a group of brothers across the Song-Liao border, and no one could stop them.

A few years ago, taking advantage of the collapse of the Liao State, Wang Shan recruited troops and horses, and the number of troops soon exceeded 10,000. Later, under the joint suppression of the Jin army and the Changsheng army Guo Yaoshi, Wang Shan led the crowd to the south and accepted Zong Ze's recruitment, and the army was stationed in Taikang County.

Although he was recruited, Wang Shan still did not change his thief nature, and he violated all kinds of constraints on Zong Ze. And he was ambitious, and kept recruiting small groups of rogues, and the number soon exceeded 30,000. It is claimed that there are 100,000, where the army is located, and the people are not happy.

Ying Tianfu finally restored the pre-war order, and Yue Fei would never allow anyone to destroy this rare peace. Yue Fei summoned all the generals to the camp of the Protector Army and told them the news that Wang Shan led an army of 100,000 to attack Yingtian.

Ji Qian saw Yue Fei's brows tightened, thinking that she was worried that Wang Shanren would be overwhelmed, so she immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to ask for battle. "Big brother, although Wang Shan claims to be an army of 100,000, in my opinion, at most 50,000. In my eyes, it's nothing more than a rabble. Brother and I will have 2,000 cavalry, and see me bring back the head of the king's golden sword and present it to my tent. ”

Ji Qian's words were arrogant, but the generals in the tent didn't think Ji Qian was arrogant at all. With the continuous supply of weapons from the armory, in the past month, the Protector Army has conquered and won, and both soldiers and generals are at the peak of morale. It is also inevitable that there is a bit of a taste of arrogance.

Yue Fei saw that none of the generals took Wang Shan in their eyes, and immediately said in a deep voice: "The arrogant soldiers will be defeated." Although the Protectors have won battles in a row, it is not because we are too strong, but because the enemy is too weak. Several county towns surrendered before they could be attacked. The real bitter battle has not been experienced at all. If we think that Lao Tzu is the first in the world, we will definitely be defeated when we meet Jin Bing. ”

After Yue Fei struck at the arrogance of the generals, he changed his words again and continued, "However, although our People's Protector Army is not yet the strongest army in the world, it is still easy to destroy Wang Shan. Ji Qian listens to the order! ”

Ji Qian was originally so shocked by Yue Fei's previous words that she bowed her head and was silent, thinking that her request for war would definitely not be approved, but when she heard Yue Fei let her take the order, she suddenly came to her senses again. clasped his hands into fists and said loudly, "Ji Qian is here!" Please give the order of the regimental training envoy. ”

"I'll give you 3,000 cavalry to meet the enemy on the border of Yingtianfu. We must not let Wang Shan's army enter my Yingtian and harm my Yingtian villagers. If Wang Shan's army is allowed to enter the country, military law will be engaged! ”

Ji Qian patted her chest and shouted, "The group practice is reassuring." If you can't stop Wang Shan's army, I will come to you with my head. ”

After Ji Qian took over the general order and went out with the deputy commander Hua Ruyu and Zhao Hong, Yue Fei's brows still did not open.

Zhang Xian opened his mouth and asked, "Big brother, aren't you worried that Ji Qian won't be able to stop the Golden Sword Wang Shan?" ”

Yue Fei said with a smile, "Wang Shan is brave and unscrupulous, and Ji Qian is enough to be his soldier." This time, I will personally lead the army and completely hurt Wang Shan, so that he will not dare to peep at me again. But I'm worried about something else. ”

Yue Fei paused, and said thoughtfully, "Wang Shan has always been afraid of the old commander Zongze, although he has done many things that violate yin and yang, he does not dare to openly make trouble. This time, he dared to lead a large army to attack my Ying Tianfu, could it be that he was ordered by the commander of the sect? ”

Zhang Xian said in surprise, "Not really! Our People's Protector Army is dedicated to the people, how can we annoy the Zong Shuai? ”

Yue Fei smiled bitterly, "Our attack on the county seat is already tantamount to rebellion. General Zong is loyal to the imperial court, how can he tolerate me? ”

Speaking of this, Yue Fei couldn't help but sigh, "I defected to the Zong Shuai in Kaide Mansion, and I was taught by him and regarded him as a teacher, but I didn't expect that I would actually meet the Zong Shuai!" ”

Li Bashao, who had been meditating with his eyes closed in the military tent, suddenly stood up and said loudly, "No, no. I'm sure Wang Shan's army was not sent by the commander. ”

Although Li Bashao was not an official or a general, he was personally appointed by Yue Fei as an adviser to the Protector Army, and had the right to observe all military meetings to protect the people. and give comments. However, Li Bashao knew that he was only a little familiar with military affairs, and he was not as good as professional generals like Yue Fei in marching and fighting.

Yue Fei appointed him as an advisor only out of respect for him. Therefore, when convening a military meeting, Li Bashao generally only sat in on the meeting and did not express his opinion.

Only when talking about military grain and grass or commercial tax acres will Li Bashao talk endlessly. That's what he's best at.

Today, Li Bashao was a little sullen when he saw Yue Fei in a meeting, and thought that Yue Fei was worried about Wang Shan's army, but he didn't expect Yue Fei to take Wang Shan in his eyes at all. What is tangled is only the order of the commander.

Li Bashao smoothed his long beard with his hand and began to tell his analysis. "First, we are a legion of protectors formed by the local squires, and we have the responsibility of defending the land and securing the people. Our combat actions are all justified. Second, if it is said that it is because we attacked the county town to anger the commander, it is even more impossible. Wang Shan Cao Cheng's generation did not plunder the place and loot the people, nor did they see the commander lead the army to attack them. Thirdly, and most importantly, Peng Ju had sent Master Zhihun and Yue Fan to Bianliang to contact Zong Shuai ten days ago, and they were willing to accept his unified command. Since Zong Shuai can tolerate even Wang Shan and his ilk, it is impossible for him to refuse our Protector Army. ”

Speaking of this, Li Bashao sighed and couldn't help shaking his head, feeling sad for the famous Zong Ze. "It seems that Zong Shuai has gambled on his reputation in order to resist the large-scale southern invasion of Golden Dog this winter. But can Wang Shancao Cheng's generation be reliable? Can tolerating them to plague the people in exchange for their courage to fight against the golden dogs? ”

When Yue Fei heard Li Bashao say this, he immediately understood that Wang Shan's army was definitely not sent by Zong Ze, but there must be someone making trouble in it. This person's power is certainly no less than that of Zong Ze. It seems that Zong Shuai not only lacks trustworthy generals, but also lacks the trust of the imperial court. Before the Central Plains Guard War began, the imperial court sent those who dragged their feet over.

Once Yue Fei figured out this question, he immediately frowned. He said to Li Bashao gratefully, "Thank you Elder Li for untying my knot." I will lead the infantry army to Yucheng, kill Wang Shan first, and then discuss the matter of Bianliang. ”

Li Bashao laughed, "Actually, this matter is extremely obvious. Just because Pengju doesn't want to be the enemy of Zong Shuai, he cares about it. By the way, Pengju, I take the liberty of asking, how many days do you expect to defeat Wang Shan and return? ”

Yue Fei calculated in his heart and said confidently, "Elder Li rest assured. Within seven days, I will defeat Wang Shan and use a big victory to celebrate Li Lao's birthday. ”

Li Bashao was stunned for a moment, and asked a little stunned, "Pengju also knows my birthday?" ”

Yue Fei arched his hand and said sincerely, "Li Lao is the first good in heaven, and your birthday is known to everyone in the city. How dare I forget! ”

Li Bashao shouted, "Okay! I put 3,000 catties of wine in the Bafang Building, and when Pengju returns, I will drink it with me. ”
