Not to mention how Zhihun and Wang Gang settled in Kaide Mansion, not to mention Yue Fei Jiqian and others, they left Kaide, went all the way to the west, and arrived in Neihuang County in less than two days.

Neihuang County is located in northern Henan and is named after the Yellow River. This place is the place where the overlord Xiang Yu broke the cauldron and sank the boat, and it is also the hometown of the martial king Ran Min. And Yue Fei's hometown is here. It's just that because of Yue Fei's childhood, there was a big flood in Neihuang County, and Yue Fei's family moved to Xiaoyili in Tangyin County.

The group walked to the Wei River, but found that they could not cross the river. The wooden bridge on the Wei River had long since disappeared, and in the face of the mighty water, Yue Fei couldn't help but feel depressed. Hundreds of cavalry troops stopped on the east bank of the Wei River, but they attracted the attention of the people on the west bank of the Wei River.

Across the river, you can see that several villages near the river are urgently calling for their children and daughters, pulling up the wooden fence wall, and the young men are guarding the wall. There were also bold young men who came to the shore, pointing and looking, Yue Fei and the others. Then a few young men flew towards the low hill to the south.

Ji Qian spat and scolded loudly, "Brother Yue, you see that these people are afraid of being like this, do they treat our people's army as bandits?" When I cross the river, I have to flatten those rammers who are pointing out to us! ”

Yue Fei said with a smile, "Others don't know our People's Protector Army, so you should be wary." How can a village without a heart of defense survive the troubled times. ”

Hua Ruyu stretched out her big hand, twisted Ji Qian's ear and said, "You are a rammer, so you look at others as rammers." ”

Hua Ruyu's hand was like a small plier, and Ji Qian screamed in pain. Ji Qian shouted, "Wife, can you twist it lightly?" These are my ears, not pig ears. Hurry up and think about how to cross the river for Brother Yue? ”

As soon as it came to business, Hua Ruyu immediately let go of Ji Qian's ears. Hua Ruyu said, "I have no idea. Why don't we swim over? ”

Ji Qian glanced at Hua Ruyu and said fiercely, "Stupid!" We can swim, but the horses can't get by. Besides, you still need armor or something, you can't have hundreds of men crossing the river naked, right? ”

Seeing that Hua Ruyu was about to twist Ji Qian's ears again, Yue Fei hurriedly stopped her with a smile. "You two don't mess around. We don't have to worry about crossing the river, a boat is coming. ”

From the direction of the low mountain came several clippers, each with thirty or thirty large men, all dressed in armor and armed with weapons. When there was a big boat, there were hundreds of big men. A shirtless man crossed his arms and stood firmly on the swaying bow of the ship, as if he were connected to the big ship.

When he got closer, Yue Fei saw the face of this big man clearly. This man is no longer young, although his bronzed muscles are as strong as stones, his face is wrinkled, and his bright eyes have a few vicissitudes, as if he has seen through this world. What is particularly conspicuous is his naked upper body, with a scar running through his chest and abdomen, which shows how dangerous the injury was at that time.

The man had no weapon in his hand, only a dark oar erected on the bow of the boat. Yue Fei secretly guessed that this oar was estimated to be the weapon of this big man, and if it was made of pig iron, it would be at least forty or fifty catties.

When Yue Fei was looking at this big man, this big man was also taking care of Yue Fei and his party. The more he watched, the more frightened he became. Although Yue Fei and his entourage only had 500 cavalry, they were all brightly armoured. The standard device of the cavalry was that the man wore heavy armor, the horse wore light armor, each man had a hundred steel knives, and ten throwing spears hung on the saddle. This kind of equipment is not inferior to the Jurchen Iron Cavalry.

But it wasn't the equipment that surprised the big man. This Han once fought with the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, and the equipment of the Forbidden Army was only stronger than that of the Beiwei Army, but its combat power was average. But seeing the five hundred cavalry standing quietly by the river, motionless like a mountain, Dahan immediately knew that the cavalry in front of him was not an embroidered pillow like the forbidden army, but a real elite.

So Dahan put away his contemptuous mentality. Originally, when the young man from the village on the other side reported to him that a cavalry army had come to the Wei River, he still had the idea of annihilating this cavalry army. Now seeing the majesty of the Beiwei cavalry, Dahan suddenly dispelled his original thoughts.

Seeing the big boat stopped in the middle of the river, Yue Fei immediately clenched his fists and said, "This good man is invited." ”

Dahan also clenched his fists and said, "Please." I don't know what your intention is when you come to Weihe? ”

Ji Qian said loudly, "I said brother, you are asking knowingly." We came to the river, of course, to cross the river. Is it still impossible to fish collectively? ”

Yue Fei saw that the big man's face was hesitant, and immediately said, "Don't get me wrong, good man, we are not bandits who looted the village. Because we are from Tangyin County, a neighboring county. Cross the river just to get home. Speaking of this, Yue Fei pointed at Ji Qian and Hua Ruyu and said, "This is my brother Ji Qian, and this woman will be his fiancée Hua Ruyu." I'm Yue Fei. I don't know the name of Henkel? ”

As soon as Dahan heard Yue Fei's name, he immediately asked, "Could it be that you are Yue Wudi of Tangyin County?" ”

Ji Qian said triumphantly, "Of course." Except for my eldest brother Yue, who dares to claim to be invincible in Tangyin County? Looking at Ji Qian's strength, it seems that he is Yue Feiyue invincible.

Yue Fei nodded in response, "Does a good man know me?" ”

Dahan smiled, "I don't know you." But I have heard your name. I don't know if Yue Wushu has heard of the name below? My name is Zhang Heng, and the people in the rivers and lakes call me Chuanhuo'er. ”

Yue Fei couldn't help but be moved, "Could it be the famous Liang Shankou - the hero Zhang Heng?" ”

Zhang Heng stood on the bow of the boat, looking up to the sky and smiling, there was both pride and sadness in the laughter. After laughing, Fang Cai looked at Yue Fei and said loudly, "Why doesn't Yue Wushu tell the truth? Just say that we are Liang Shankou. Why add the word hero. Most of my thirty-six brothers in Liangshan are now withered. Others have great ambitions, only my boat fire Zhang Heng, no ambition, this Wei River bank father and I have the grace to save my life, I Zhang Heng in this life has nothing to ask for, only to protect this Huang father. Whether it is the army of golden dogs or the army of the imperial court, they don't want to be powerful in me. I don't know if Yue Wushu came back this time, does it represent the golden dog or the imperial court? ”

Yue Fei listened to Zhang Heng's generous words, and couldn't help but praise, "Boat Huo'er is really worthy of a good man." Since you ask so, then I, Yue Fei, will tell you clearly. My army only fights against the golden dogs, but it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial court. ”

Zhang Heng asked suspiciously, "Oh, could it be that Yue Invincible also rebelled?" ”

Yue Fei smiled, "There is no reason! The reason why I don't listen to the jurisdiction of the imperial court is because my army is a protector group formed by the people of Tianfu. The imperial court wants to transfer us to the south of the Yangtze River, but our home is in the Central Plains, and it is also the Central Plains that the Golden Dog wants to attack. As for the rest, we don't care. ”

Zhang Heng's eyes flashed, and he glanced at the immobile Beiwei Army again, and laughed loudly, "What a people's protector." I have also heard of your deeds in Yingtian, and indeed you are worthy of this name. A good one only fights to stick to the country. Yue Wushu, I Zhang Heng appreciates your words. If you dare to come on my boat, let's talk about it in detail. ”

Yue Feilang laughed, "Why don't you dare?" ”

Ji Qian hurriedly said, "Brother Yue, don't be careless. Liang Shankou is capricious and cannot be trusted. The skill of boat fire and water play is rare in the world. The eldest brother can get on the boat, and Tianda can't show his skills. ”

The reason why Ji Qian said that Liang Shankou was capricious was referring to Song Jiang's rebellion. Song Jiang descended on Zhang Shuye, and then rebelled, and was killed by Zhang Shuye in the south of Qingzhou.

Yue Fei smiled indifferently, "Ji Qian, you are also underestimating Zhang Heng. He is a real Liangshan hero. ”

After saying this, Yue Fei dismounted and saw how far Zhang Heng's big ship was from the shore, but he had no intention of approaching the shore. Yue Fei smiled slightly, did not take off the twenty or thirty pounds of armor on his body, came a few steps on the shore to run, and then jumped up and stood firmly on the bow of Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng cocked his thumb and praised it, "Sure enough, the reputation is well deserved, Yue is invincible and good at kung fu." Suddenly, his face sank, and he said in a dark voice, "Isn't Yue Invincible afraid that I will be bad?" ”

Yue Fei smiled and said, "If Zhang Heng is bad, it won't be the Zhang Heng who dares to fight with Zongwang on the Yellow River?" ”

It turned out that in the spring of this year, when Zongwang's army crossed the river to attack Bianliang, the army of the Song Dynasty fled in despair, only the boat was open, set up a hundred boats, and led hundreds of heroes to gallop back and forth on the Yellow River, trying to prevent the Jin soldiers from crossing the river.

Zong Wang was furious, sent thousands of soldiers and horses, and ordered the surrendered Song Dynasty naval army to sail and surround Zhang Heng on the Yellow River. In a bloody battle, Zhang Heng lost most of his hundreds of heroes, and even Zhang Heng himself was slashed by Wang Chong of Jin Wanhu and almost died.

Finally broke out of the encirclement, along the Wei River to Neihuang County, with the support of the people of several villages, Zhang Hengcai again pulled up nearly 1,000 men, occupied the nearby low mountains as a village, and fought against the Jin servant army.

In real history, Zhang Heng has always adhered to the two rivers and never left the Central Plains. Later, when Yue Fei went on the Northern Expedition, he took the lead in contacting Yue Fei, preparing to respond to Yue Fei's army and capture Xinxiangwei County and other places. Later, Yue Fei was killed, and Zhang Heng also died of depression.

Because Zhang Heng was born in Liangshankou, he was deliberately blocked by the imperial court about the battle with Zongwang on the Yellow River, and not many people knew about it, but the heroes of the rivers and lakes praised him because they admired Zhang Heng as a person.

Yue Fei also learned about this from Zhou Yizhihun , and Yue Fei admired Zhang Heng very much at that time. I thought that this person understood the righteousness, the court was unreasonable, and the Jin people fought the Jin people brutally, and he was indeed a first-class hero in the world.

When Zhang Heng saw Yue Fei talking about his bloody battle with Zongwang, he couldn't help but be proud and depressed. With a long sigh, he said, "What about the bloody battle against the Yellow River?" Bianliang was still captured by the Jinren. Aren't millions of people in the Central Plains still taken captive to the north as slaves by the Golden Dog Army? ”

Yue Fei said, "Why is Brother Zhang so pessimistic? As long as I, the heroes of the Central Plains, unite as one, recover Yanyun, and destroy the golden dog, it is not difficult. ”

Zhang Heng sighed, "It's easier said than done, who can unite the heroes of the Central Plains?" King Kang? Is Zong staying? I don't think they can do it. ”

Yue Fei saw that Zhang Heng didn't seem to be impressed with Zong Ze, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Why did Brother Zhang say this?" Zong Liushou is really the white jade pillar of my Great Song Dynasty, and the purple and golden beam of the sea. With his fame, it is not difficult to integrate the heroes of the Central Plains. ”

Zhang Heng smiled, "Yue Wushu came to test me again?" With your ability, how can you not know that Zong stayed behind and was not favored by the imperial court, but now the courtiers are cowardly, and no one dares to stay in the Central Plains to resist the Jin ** army, and the imperial court let Zong stay in Kaifeng. But the Zhao and Song family laws have never let the power fall into the hands of one person, so the sect stayed behind and was restrained by people left and right, and he had the intention to kill the thief, and he was unable to return to the sky. What's more, most of the heroes in the Central Plains are like me, although they rebel against the golden dog, it does not mean that they are united with the imperial court. Just like the lords of the villages on this thousand-mile Taihang, strictly speaking, they are all anti-thieves. The court will not trust them, and they will not trust the court. In this way, both sides are wary, how can they resist the enemy wholeheartedly? Now that the servant army of the Golden Dog has gone south from Hebei, it seems that it is another new offensive, is Zong left behind ready to defend it? ”

Yue Fei had to admire Zhang Heng's analysis, he did see through the Zhao and Song courts, and also saw Zong Ze's helplessness. The Zhao and Song officials would rather let the Central Plains fall into the hands of the golden dog than let Zong Ze lead the great merit of defending the Central Plains. Therefore, Du Chong, who was ambitious and talented but brutal, was sent as the deputy to stay behind, just to divide the various righteous troops recruited by Zong Ze.

But Zhang Heng is too pessimistic. Because today's Central Plains not only has Zong Ze's hundreds of thousands of rebels, but also his Yue Fei's 20,000 people's protectors. Yue Fei looked directly into Zhang Heng's eyes and said loudly, "Is the sect left behind ready, I don't dare to say anything." But I'm ready. I don't know if Brother Zhang is willing to join hands with me to kill Jin Yu and defend the Central Plains? ”

Speaking of this, Yue Fei stretched out his hand. Zhang Heng didn't bother to high-five Yue Fei, pointed at the cavalry on the shore with his finger, and asked, "How many soldiers and horses like this kind of soldiers and horses, how many are Yue Wuxi?" ”

Yue Fei said with a smile, "There are 5,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry. ”

Zhang Heng shouted, "Okay." This army is enough to compete with the golden dogs. I, Zhang Heng, will cooperate with Yue Wushu once today. Wait a moment, my great army, and I will send other ships to take you across the river. ”

Zhang Heng whistled, and hundreds of boats came from the upper reaches of the Wei River, ranging in size, but they all drove like flying, and it could be seen that all of them were good at water. Yue Fei praised, "Brother Zhang is really a good general on the water. ”

Zhang Heng said confidently, "When it comes to the method of water warfare, even though I, Zhang Heng, am not the first in the world, but also the second in the world. ”

Ji Qian couldn't get used to Zhang Heng's tone, and asked on the shore, "Then who is the number one in the world?" ”

Zhang Heng said proudly, "The first in the world has not yet been born." ”
