In just two days, the Jurchen crossed the river and horses, killed the Jurchen Wanhu Shagu, and forced the surrender of 30,000 Han army, which can be said to be the most brilliant victory since the Song and Jin wars. But with the victory comes not only joy, but also trouble.

The world is bustling, all for profit; The soil in the world is all for profit. Killed nearly 10,000 gold soldiers, which made everyone excited. However, the large amount of booty seized from the gold camp made the generals no longer care about being gentle and frugal, and fought under the tent of the commander with a red face.

Although Shaguzhi was only an outpost army, the grain and grass brought by the army was enough to eat in February, and there were tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver, and countless jewels, which seemed to be the money of the Song people who burned and looted along the road.

But what made the generals fight for it with red faces was not grain, grass, gold, silver and jewelry, nor the good riding bow of the Jurchen iron horsemen, and the good iron armor they wore were not the best horses. Because of these things, Song Bing also has them, and the quality is better than Jin Bing. What really made the generals tear their faces was the 20,000 war horses.

Although there were only 10,000 Jurchen iron horsemen who crossed the river, they were all one person and two horsemen, and the Jurchen iron guards were one person and three horsemen, so there were more than 25,000 war horses crossing the river. The two days of fighting were large-scale cavalry battles, and the Jin soldiers suffered more than 5,000 casualties, but there were 20,000 intact horses.

What is the concept of 20,000 war horses, in the two countries of Jin and Liao, it is just the total number of war horses of an ordinary 10,000-person team. But in the Great Song Dynasty, it was almost half of the country's cavalry force. Even the most elite Western army never had more than 20,000 horses.

The Song army lacked horses, this is a fact known to the whole world. Because of the lack of horses, even though the Song army had a strong bow and crossbow that was unparalleled in the world, even if it had brought the tactics of riding on foot to the peak, it still couldn't help the surrounding nomads. After all, the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and it can't beat you, so just urge the horse to run away. If I can beat you, then I will destroy you.

Throughout the two Song Dynasty, the victory rate of foreign wars reached 80 percent, which can be said to be the highest in all dynasties. But he left a reputation for weakness in history, and the reason was because of the Song army's victories, which were mostly small victories, because the infantry army could not catch up with the cavalry. The defeat of less than 20 percent of the Song army was mostly a fiasco in which the entire army was annihilated.

The most famous is the battle of Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong against Liao. Zhao Guangyi, who was very talented and sparse, killed his eldest brother in the sound of candle shadow axe and became the emperor himself. In order to pacify the mouth of the people in the world, Zhao Guangyi led 200,000 elite soldiers to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty first, and then destroyed the power of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Northern Expedition to the Great Liao. The army has been killed all the way to the Gaoliang River, which is only more than 20 miles away from Yanjing City. Seeing that victory was imminent, he was killed by the 100,000 iron cavalry of Yelu Xiuge, the god of the Liao army. The battle was dark, and in the end, the Song army was wiped out. Even Zhao Guangyi was hit by an arrow in the thigh and fled back to Bianliang in a donkey cart.

The Battle of the Gaoliang River can be said to be a battle that decided the fate of the Song Dynasty. The 200,000 tigers who were carefully trained by Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong all died along the Gaoliang River. The elite of the Central Plains was lost, and the Song Dynasty no longer had the courage to go on the Northern Expedition.

When Li Yuanhao of Western Xia rebelled against the Song Dynasty and became independent, the Song Dynasty lost the last horse farm, and in the end of the Song Dynasty, there was no large-scale cavalry arming.

Just like Zong Ze today, although the rebel army is hundreds of thousands, the cavalry army is only a few thousand. Although Yue Fei has defeated the Jin soldiers in a row in the past few months and used all kinds of means to snatch war horses, now the Protector Army only has more than 10,000 war horses.

And the decisive force to defeat the Shaguzhi was none other than the 8,000 cavalry of the Protector Army. Thousands of iron horsemen galloped across the country, and that kind of momentum was really not something that ordinary infantry soldiers had the courage to shake.

It is precisely because they have witnessed the power of the Protector Army that these rebel generals want to keep these war horses for themselves. Even if you can't take it all, it's good to have one more horse.

You must know that the price of a war horse is 300 yuan each. If you get a few hundred horses, even if you sell them to others, you can get a lot of money.

Of course, if no one supported these rebel generals, no matter how red they were, they wouldn't dare to shout in front of Zong Ze. But what Zong Ze and Yue Fei didn't expect was that on the second day after the sand was cut down, a eunuch broke into Yanshi City with a holy decree.

Because the eunuchs came so fast, that Zong Ze wanted to hack these eunuchs to death as spies of the golden dog. But what made Zong Ze depressed was that these eunuchs were indeed genuine Zhao Gou's subordinates.

The leader of the eunuchs is named Zhang Qian, who is an old man from King Kang's mansion, and Zong Ze once met this person when he saw Zhao Gou in Xiangzhou.

But Zong Ze couldn't figure it out, this place is thousands of miles away from Yangzhou, even if Zhao Gou has an eyeliner in the army, even if he uses flying pigeons to pass the book, he will not come so quickly.

On the contrary, it was the madness that Xue Bi said in one sentence. "Zhang Qian must have come with a decree, but his original decree was definitely not this one. I think in order to make this person improvise, the Lord must have given him a few blank holy decrees covered with jade seals. ”

Zong Ze slapped his head and sighed, "It must be so." ”

Whether it is Zong Ze or Yue Fei, they are both iron-clad soldiers who are not good at conspiracy and trickery. Just like Yue Fei's favorite way of fighting, with a dignified array and a strong soldier, he broke the enemy on the battlefield.

Let them fight against the enemy on the battlefield, naturally it is full of wisdom. But it is really difficult for them to let them play with the enemy's conspiracy. Just now they broke up unhappily in the big tent, but Zhang Qian kept standing in the big tent and didn't leave, and some of the rebel generals who were instigated by him also stayed in the big tent and didn't leave, so they had to divide the war horses clearly on the spot.

Zhang Qian came here obviously because of the shortcomings of Zong Ze and Yue Fei. Zhang Qian was in the big tent, and his words aroused the greed of some rebel generals. Especially Cao Cheng, who had just escaped death, decisively hugged Zhang Qian's thigh.

Therefore, Zong Ze and Yue Fei both looked at Xue Bi with expectant eyes, and said in unison, "How should I send this person?" ”

Xue Bi turned his gaze to Yue Fei and smiled slightly, "Zhang Qian has the aura of the Heavenly Family on his head, so it is not appropriate for the Sect Marshal to go out in this matter." ”

Yue Fei had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and immediately understood what Xue Bi meant, and immediately said confidently, "Zong Shuai, let's go out of the account, and we will meet this Angel Zhang again." ”

Zong Ze also understood what Xue Bi meant. Xue Bi wanted Yue Fei to get out of the horse. Anyway, the Protector Army and the Imperial Court have fought twice. Just looking at Zhang Qian's close relationship with many rebel generals in the tent just now, but ignoring Yue Fei, he understood Yue Fei's status in the minds of the Heavenly Family.

Zong Ze said a little worriedly, "Pengju can't hurt the angel's life. ”

Yue Fei said with a smile, "Don't worry, Zong Shuai, I reflect on myself. ”

The crowd entered the Chinese army tent again. Zhang Qian dragged the eunuch's unique male duck throat, and said to Zong Ze with a smile again, "Master Zong, this battle broke the golden soldiers, and all the generals worked together. Long live the Lord has a purpose, and all those who have merit will be rewarded. Master Zong can't be too biased towards some generals, chilling the hearts of most generals. According to a certain family's opinion, everyone should have a share of the seized booty, and there must be no favoritism over the other. ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Zong Ze, who was flushed with anger, to reply, and immediately made his own decisions and began to distribute the war horses.

"General Cao Cheng is the right-hand man of Lord Zong, and there are 100,000 black armor troops, I think this war horse can be distributed to General Cao 8,000. General Chen Quan was born as a Jinshi, both civil and military, and could divide 5,000 war horses. The name of the double sword Li Cheng is known even to the saints, and he can divide three thousand war horses. Zhang Yongbu can be divided into 3,000 war horses. Yang Zaixing, the newly promoted love general of the Zongda people, I think it can also be divided into 3,000 horses. ”

Yes, Zhang Qian said this, 20,000 war horses have no share of Yue Fei at all. After Zhang Qian finished dividing the quota of the war horses, he also deliberately added, "I think the meaning of the saint must be the same." When I return to Beijing this time, I will present this military meeting to the Holy One. The Holy Candle shines thousands of miles, and he will naturally trust the Sect Master more. ”

"Good one, I trust Master Zong even more! Eunuch Zhang, do you believe what you say? Yue Fei saw that Zhang Qian had already shown his hole cards, and immediately sneered, walked out of the queue, looked at Zhang Qian and asked, "I also want to ask Eunuch Zhang, you keep saying that you will be rewarded for your merits, why did you throw aside the most meritorious people's protectors?" I defeated the ancient quality of the war sand, and I captured the war horse, so how can I divide the horse but not my business? ”

When Zhang Qian heard Yue Fei call himself a eunuch, he was immediately furious. Although he is really a eunuch, as one of the eunuchs trusted by Zhao Gou, wherever he goes, he has the identity of an envoy, a military general, who doesn't give him three points of thin face, and calls him an angel. This Yue Fei dared not to give himself face, it was really unbearable.

Therefore, Zhang Qian also glanced at Yue Fei with cold eyes, and said in an arrogant tone, "Ben Qin Envoy has just said that winning the battle is not the credit of any one person or any army, but the entire Song army. Yue Fei, you are just a civilian group training envoy, and the Benqin envoy has not spoken to you, how are you qualified to speak in the ranks? ”

"You are just a rootless caster, how are you qualified to talk to me Yue Fei?" Yue Fei asked loudly.

"Bold Yue Fei! How dare you reproach an angel, and your sin deserves death. "As the saying goes, scolding doesn't reveal the shortcomings. But Yue Fei's opening directly poked at the sore spot of all eunuchs since ancient times. How not to make Zhang Qian angry. He couldn't care about dragging his voice anymore, and shouted directly at Zong Ze, "Zong Ze, don't give the order quickly and capture this Yue Fei." ”

"Lao Tzu will capture your lot first!" Yue Fei stretched out his right hand and lifted the chubby Zhang Qian with one hand.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two little eunuchs who came with Zhang Qian actually pulled out a short knife from their waists and rushed towards Yue Fei. As a result, Yue Fei kicked out of the big tent twice. More than a dozen Praetorian Guards who were responsible for protecting Zhang Qian had been standing outside the tent, and when they saw the little eunuch being kicked out, they also drew their weapons and rushed into the big tent.

It's a pity that they don't even have the qualifications to rush to Yue Fei's side. When Ji Qian, Wang Gang, Dong Xian, and Zhao Honghua Ruyu saw Yue Feifa Biao, they immediately stopped swallowing their anger, and divided five by two, overturning the Praetorian Guard.

Ji Qian got up to fight, ran to Zhang Qian's side again, and said loudly, "Brother Yue, since the dead eunuch doesn't like us, it's better for me to smash him to death." ”

Yue Fei glanced at Ji Qian, and said equally loudly, "That's good." I'll leave it to you at your disposal. As soon as he let go, Zhang Qian landed on his feet. Immediately, the back of his neck tightened, and he was lifted up by Ji Qian from behind.

"Dead eunuch, you call it, and if you call Ji Ye again, you will be torn in half."

Zhang Qian looked at the murderous Ji Qian, and was suddenly frightened. He suddenly discovered that his noble angelic identity needed to be recognized. If people don't admit it, it's a piece of shit. Just like the two emperors of Huiqin, they were emperors in the Song Dynasty and shepherd slaves in the Jin.

What made Zhang Qian's heart even more weak was that Cao Chengzhang, who wanted to hug his thigh, faced Yue Fei who was furious, not only did he not dare to come to the rescue, but he didn't even have the courage to support. But Zhang Qian didn't care about scolding them. He was afraid that this bearded man would really tear him in two pieces as soon as he used his strength. So Zhang Qian put his hope for help on Zong Ze.

"Master Zong, save Zhang. I'm an envoy sent by the emperor. ”
