In the conference hall of Erlong Mountain, Yao Zheng brought the recent situation of Qingfeng Ridge one by one. It turned out that since Zhang Yong accepted Zong Ze's recruitment, he wanted to withdraw the army to Bianliang. However, the second leader, Ma Fang, has always refused to agree to give up Qingfeng Ridge. The Ma side believes that Qingfeng Ridge is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a pity to give up in vain.

Although Ma Fang is only the second leader in Qingfengling, his men are no less than Zhang Yong. In order to persuade the Ma side to go to Bianliang together, Zhang Yong postponed the time for the army to go to Bianliang again and again. However, half a month ago, the sect marshal sent someone to send an order, telling Zhang Yong to arrive in Bianliang within a month. Zhang Yong also understood that the cold winter was coming, and the Golden Dog army was about to move in a big way, and if he didn't cross the river, he might be blocked by the Jin soldiers in Taihang Mountain.

But in the meeting hall of Qingfeng Ridge, Ma Fang suddenly turned his face with Zhang Yong. Ma Fang directly made it clear that he would not go to Bianliang to work for the mediocre court. He wanted to find a path to glory for his more than 10,000 brothers.

Zhang uses the nickname Zhang Mangdang, which is not a character to be messed with. Seeing that Ma Fang was torn his face, he wanted to take Ma Fang down in the council hall. However, Ma Fang's own soldiers suddenly jumped out of an extremely powerful hair head, and Zhang Yong was repelled with three punches and two kicks.

The Ma side immediately took advantage of the situation to lead the army against Qingfeng Ridge. went to cast the nine-patterned dragon Shi Bin. The centaurs of Qingfeng Ridge were half pulled away by the horse. The day before yesterday, 3,000 elite thieves suddenly surrounded Qingfeng Ridge, and kept telling Zhang Yong to go down the mountain and surrender. Zhang Yong and Yizhang Qing went down the mountain to fight, but were defeated. The leader of the thieves was none other than the Hooded Head.

Zhang Yong saw that the situation was not good, and he did not come out of the cottage. But he used a rope hundreds of zhang long to release Yao Zheng from the cliff of Qingfeng Ridge to move the rescue soldiers. Zhang Yong originally wanted Yao Zheng to go to the Daimyo Mansion to find Hebei to ask Zhang for help. But Yao Zheng thought of his nephew.

Yao Zheng secretly calculated to himself, and felt that Yue Fei should have arrived at Erlong Mountain at this time. The result really made Yao Zheng guess right. Yao Zheng said a little eagerly, "Pengju, the situation in Qingfeng Ridge is not good. If you think you can help, send reinforcements to help. If I don't go, I'll go down the mountain now and go to the Daimyo's Mansion to find the troops borrowed by Zhang. ”

Before Yue Fei could speak, Ji Qian said unhappily, "Zhang Mangdang is a fierce man, and his wife is even more powerful. Coupled with tens of thousands of righteous troops, they couldn't defeat the other party's 3,000 people. How did Zhang Mangdang do it? It's too unhelpful. ”

Yao Zheng smiled bitterly, "Ma Fang led tens of thousands of horses. Today, although there are still nearly 20,000 horses left in Qingfeng Ridge, most of them are old and weak women and children, and the only ones who can really fight are only 7,000 villagers. However, the three thousand thieves who wore their hair and head all behaved in order, and they looked like elite soldiers. Where is what our rabble can deal with. ”

Yue Fei frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "Uncle, do you know where that Hair Tou Tuo came from?" ”

Yao Zhengdao, "Listening to this person's words, and the shouting and scolding of his soldiers, it looks like a northern man." ”

Niu Gao slapped the table and shouted loudly, "Yue Shuai, it seems that this Tuo is the remnant of the Liao dog." We also sent 3,000 men and destroyed his bastards. These Liao dogs are the most hateful. has bullied us for a hundred years, and now that the country has died, he still dares to come to the territory of my Great Song Dynasty to spread wild. We wiped out this Liaogou and then withdrew. ”

Before the Liao State died, it had already shown the image of the country. The sixteen states of Yanyun have been plagued by disasters year after year, and the people can't survive, so they have risen up one after another, claiming to be resentful of the army. The Liao State was half suppressed, half co-opted, and finally transformed the resentful army into the Han'er army, with Guo Yaoshi as the capital and the victorious army. When the Liao was destroyed, Guo Yaoshi led the victorious army to the Song Dynasty. Later, Jin attacked the Great Song Dynasty, and Guo Yaoshi led the army to reduce Jin, becoming the vanguard of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the Changsheng army is the most tooth-gnashing of the Song people.

Faced with Niu Gao's request to fight, Yue Fei did not respond immediately. Because he felt that if the 3,000 thief army was a constant victorious army, it would be a bit too strange. Guo Yaoshi's gold reduction, although his status is respected, has long lost control of the Changsheng army. Today's victorious army is the elite servant army of the Jin people. If the Chang Shengjun arrives at Qingfeng Ridge, it means that the main force of the Jin soldiers is not far from Taihang Mountain.

But if it is not a victorious army, then it is necessary to consider where the three thousand thief army came from. Yue Fei was not like Niu Gao, thinking that the enemies of the Song State were only the Liao State, the Jin State, and the Xia State. Even more terrifying than these three countries is the nine-tailed fox who spared no effort to provoke cannibalism in the Central Plains. I don't know if Senior Brother Zhou Yi has found the nine-tailed fox's lair?

However, no matter where the 3,000 thieves came from, Zhang Yong's Qingfeng Ridge must be saved. As a junior disciple of his own fellow student, and with a heart of loyalty and righteousness, and the ambition to resist gold, it is a bit unreasonable not to save it.

Yao Zheng saw that Yue Fei was slow to speak, thinking that it was hopeless to borrow troops, and was about to get up to say goodbye, but saw Yue Fei say flatly, "Whether it is the remnants of the Changsheng army, or other demons and monsters, if you want to weaken the anti-gold power of the sect commander, you have to die." Niu Gao Ji Qianhua is like jade, point three thousand elites, let's go to Qingfeng Ridge. Dong Xianranqing, the two of you guard Erlong Mountain and are ready to move to Yingtianfu at any time. ”

Yao Zheng was overjoyed and said, "Now that Pengju is gone, I have no worries about Qingfengling." ”

From Qingfeng Ridge to Erlong Mountain, it is only more than 100 miles away. It took two days for Yao Zheng to arrive. He walks alone, has good martial arts, fast feet, and can copy trails. Now that the three thousand elite soldiers are going to Qingfeng Ridge, they can't go as Yao Zheng did. When marching in a large group, it is necessary to take relatively wide mountain roads and relatively gentle slopes. Dangerous Jedi, none of them can be easily involved. Therefore, it took five days for the 3,000 Protector Army to walk from Erlong Mountain to Qingfeng Ridge.

In the past five days, Zhang Mangdang and Yizhangqing, who have always been dominant, have been worried. Na Phi Fa Tou Tuo was very good at using soldiers, and used only 3,000 soldiers to capture the three horned villages set up at the foot of the mountain in Qingfeng Ridge. Forced down the 2,000 rebels under the mountain. Then use these 2,000 righteous troops as the lead to attack Qingfeng Ridge on the back. The rebels on the ridge were careless for a while, and they were attacked by the army led by Phifa Toutuo to the front of the camp. Fortunately, at the critical juncture, Zhang Yong and Yizhang Qing all put on armor and went into battle in person, personally commanding the battle on the gate of the village, rolling wood and stones, bed crossbows and strong bows, and smashed the strong thief army down the mountain.

But when he was retreating, he pointed to Zhang Yong and Yizhangqing on the gate of the village and said, "Zhang Mangdang, Yizhangqing, you don't know the current affairs, and you don't want to help the court that is extremely mediocre, have you forgotten how your family died?" If he surrenders today, the Buddha will not be guilty of the past. Otherwise, after the Buddha breaks through your stockade, he will definitely nail all your husband and wife to the big tree at the mouth of the ridge. ”

Back in the camp at the foot of the mountain, the arrogant Phi Tou Tuo changed his face, walked to the Chinese army tent with kind eyes, and said to a twenty-year-old son, "Master Lin, the momentum of the cottage rebels has been depressed, and tomorrow will definitely be able to take it in one fell swoop." ”

Lin Gongzi was wearing a scholar's uniform, with a delicate face, holding a folding fan in his hand, and his every move showed good cultivation. Just looking at his bearing, he is also a beautiful son. But Phi Fa Tou Tuo had great respect for him.

"Buddha Li has worked hard. In the art of war, it is said that ten rules surround it. Now General Li can besiege more than 10,000 enemy troops with 3,000 men and horses, which can be described as a famous general. He is worthy of being the number one general under my father. ”

Lin Gongzi's praise made the hair and eyebrows fly. hurriedly arched over and said, "In front of Lin Gongzi, Li Hengan dares to call the Buddha!" Without Lin Gongzi's discerning recommendation, I, Li Heng, am still a flower monk who walks alone. ”

Lin Gongzi said with a smile, "Wang Hou will be the prime minister, rather there is a kind!" Yesterday's flower monk, today's Li Buddha, tomorrow will be the world's famous general who swept the world across the Central Plains. ”

Li Heng also smiled, "Today's Lin Gongzi, tomorrow's Gaidai Ying Lord." In front of Lin Gongzi, I will always be the flower monk of the Lang rivers and lakes. ”

Li Heng and Lin Gongzi have only known each other for three years, but they already know how powerful this Lin Gongzi is. Looking at his appearance, I thought he was a weak scholar, but when he really started, even Li Heng was not Lin Gongzi's opponent. Of course, just a martial art alone naturally can't attract Li Heng's admiration. What Li Heng admires even more is Lin Gongzi's foresight and ambition. Three years ago, before the Jin soldiers crossed the river to the south, Lin Gongzi had already concluded that Song would die at the hands of Dajin. At that time, Lin Gongzi began to recruit troops and accumulate strength. Lin Gongzi said to Li Heng, the Jin country is barbarian, and he can kill the Song Dynasty, but he can't kill my Central Plains. In troubled times, it is the time for heroes to rise up. Those who are strong and strong are the sons of heaven.

Lin Gongzi not only persuaded Li Heng, but also persuaded his high-ranking and powerful father, and very secretly prepared for the Central Plains. In the past two years, they have developed a certain strength.

Before attacking Qingfeng Ridge, Lin Gongzi had already subdued dozens of cottages on Taihang Mountain. The attack on Qingfeng Ridge was just to test the combat strength of Li Heng's 3,000 pro-army. As a result, after a try, Lin Gongzi was extremely satisfied. After a few days of fighting, more than 200 people were killed and wounded, but at least 1,000 rebels were killed.

But in addition to testing his combat power, Lin Gongzi naturally has other plans. The reason why he wanted to eliminate Zhang Yong was because Zhang Yong refused his solicitation. Zhang Yong wanted to go to Bianliang to seek refuge in Zong Ze. But Lin Gongzi just wanted Zong Ze to die early. Among the generals of the Great Song Dynasty, the only one Lin Gongzi was afraid of was Zong Ze. This old but still iron-clad courtier used his thin backbone to provoke the crumbling Great Song Dynasty. As long as Zong Ze does not die, Lin Gongzi will not dare to let his father pull the flag and rebel.

In Lin Gongzi's planning, Jingdong Road, Hebei Road, and Huainan Road will all be their own territory. The people of Hebei Road are strong, the people of Hebei Road are strong, and there are hundreds of thousands of grass in Taihang Mountain alone. Although these are rabble, they are trained and are all excellent soldiers. Jingdong Road is economically developed, and Mizhou is one of the six major cities in the world. Jinan is an important town in the world. What's more, Jingdong Road has a large population, with tens of millions of people on Jingdong West Road alone. Coupled with the dangerous terrain of Huainan Road, with these three roads, you can get the Central Plains and the world.

However, in the past three months, Ying Tianfu has risen a lightning-like army of protectors, and a Yue Fei, who is regarded as the god of war by the people of the Central Plains. Quelling the rebellious people, pacifying the rebellious army, and soon gained a firm foothold in Jingxi Road and Huainan East Road. This made Lin Gongzi, who regarded himself as the hero of the world, very unhappy. Lin Gongzi also sent a lot of spies to Ying Tianfu. Ying Tianfu attaches great importance to merchants. And the merchants of the world also regard Ying Tianfu as a treasure place for doing business. Because the tax revenue of Yingtianfu is clear, there is absolutely no phenomenon of indiscriminate taxation. In just a few months, Ying Tianfu's business has been compared with Bianliang before Jingkang. Thousands of merchants came and went in Yingtianfu. Coupled with the fact that wealthy families from all over the country who are unwilling to flee to Jiangnan have transferred their family properties to Yingtianfu, Yingtianfu can now be said to be not short of money or food. Lin Gongzi regretted more than once that he did not let his father choose to be the prefect in Yingtianfu.

But Lin Gongzi didn't want to think about it, could his greedy father make his officials innocent? Without innocent officials, can simple taxation attract businessmen from all over the world?

Lin Gongzi has already planned to destroy Qingfeng Ridge, and then go to Erlong Mountain again. The two village owners of Erlongshan have no good impression of the imperial court, and they can win them into their own camp. Although those two were reckless, they both had the talent of great generals, and they were the people my family urgently needed for trouble.

Lin Gongzi's wishful thinking crackled in his heart, but he didn't expect that Erlong Mountain had changed hands at this time, and the general Niu Gao, whom he wanted to subdue, was coming towards Qingfeng Ridge.
