After clarifying the situation in Cangzhou, Hu Yangeng took out an arrow: "Puliu Ru Bosheng listens to the order." ”

"The end will be." Hearing the command, Puliu Ru Bosheng stepped out.

"Take you as the righteous people of the Xuanfu Division of Hebei Hedong to search for the righteous people, contact the righteous people along the states and counties of Hedong and Hebei, and check the population and weapons."

Hu Yangeng handed over his seal letter of "Bingzhou Thorn History" to Puliu Ru Bosheng: "The red scarves in Hedong, Hebei Province, all know the name of my Bingzhou Thorn History, and everything to appease the red scarf, you can act cheaply on my behalf with this seal." ”

"Obey."

Back in the back hall of the state ya, Zhang Chan had already cleaned up the living room. Because Hu Yangeng let the entire shogunate, including Zhao Bozhen, Zhang Yancheng, Qiu Muling Zhonglian and others, live in the state government, so she and Zhang Chandai only occupied a living room and a study.

What made Zhang Chan a little depressed was that Wang Guifei also occupied a house: "Isn't she a sinner?" He should live with a slave or maid. ”

"Do we have slaves now? Is Dai Juan? Didn't Dai Juan live with us? Do you want Wang Guifei to live here too? ”

"Hmph, ignore you."

Early the next morning, Kuaima sent an order, and Yang Weizhong ordered Hu Yangeng to escort grain and grass to Guiyi County, Xiongzhou.

It seems that the war went relatively smoothly, and the grain was sent to Guiyi County, indicating that Guiyi County had become Yang Weizhong's rear, Xiongzhou was originally divided into two parts, Song Liao each accounted for one, and the Song Dynasty occupied Guixin County. A short time after Jin destroyed Liao, Jin handed over the Liao part of Xiongzhou to the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty named Guiyi County. Now Yang Weizhong let the grain be sent to Guiyi County, indicating that the Baigou River has been crossed and the entire territory of Xiongzhou has been restored.

Originally, Hu Yangeng could just send a general to do this kind of thing, but he had other plans. He asked Qiu Muling Zhonglian to stay in Cangzhou.

After escorting the grain and grass to Yang Weizhong, Wang Mancang was responsible for leading the brigade to return, while Hu Yangeng led the main generals and five hundred light horsemen, one person and two horses, towards the direction of Jizhou, Yanren Tieda and Zheng Wei were also among them.

Xiongzhou is on the border of Song and Liao, and the lower reaches of the Baigou River, which is the border of Song and Liao, are the later Haihe River, so they rode more than 500 horses along the Baigou River to the east.

In July, the remnant sun is like fire.

A group of ragged men were walking in a disorderly way south. The small mountain bag that appeared in front of the crowd immediately became excited, and after a period of panic, everyone relied on this mountain bag to set up a temporary camp.

The leading young man is Zhang Chengyan, the son (nephew) of Zhang Jue, the governor of Pingzhou, who was the envoy of the Taining Army, and after Yan did not force Zhang Jue to kill him, he was trustworthy and did not directly punish Zhang Jue's family subordinates, but secretly instructed the officials of the Jin State in Yanjing and Pingzhou to constantly make things difficult, and Zhang Jue's family and subordinates were often to blame.

Zhang Chengyan couldn't bear it, so he fled from Yanjing with some people, all in the southern mountains of Yanshan, and the Jin people called them the southern mountain thieves and sent troops to suppress them.

Zhang Chengyan led his subordinates to resist all the way, all the way south, Hebei has long been eroded, the only way is to pass through the control area of the Jin people, maybe to the south of the Yellow River, there can be a trace of survival.

"Who?" A loud shout came, followed by a flurry of panic and shouting.

"Red scarf." The person who answered was not a Hebei accent, but a Shaanxi accent. Zhang Chengyan looked over from a distance, and saw that the leader seemed to be a general wearing green leather armor and more than a dozen guards.

Maybe he met a strong man. When he saw the other party put away his blade, Zhang Chengyan rushed over without waiting for his subordinates to report.

"The general is the Hebei Red Turban Army?" He looked at the leader on the opposite side and saluted, feeling that this person did not look like a loyal and righteous military horse from the people, but a general of the family," Zhang Chengyan said in Xiapingzhou. ”

"Under the Red Turban Tiger Rock. Zhang Gong claimed to be from Pingzhou, but I don't know what to call Zhang Jue, who was the envoy of the Taining Military Festival? "This general is Hu Yangeng, and he uses his pseudonym.

Zhang Jue, originally a Han from Yandi, served as the assassin of Pingzhou in the Liao State, and when the Jin soldiers attacked the Liao State, Zhang Jue surrendered the Jin.

The alliance between Song and Jin on the sea, after some twists and turns, Yanjing was handed over to the Song Dynasty by the Jin State, and Zhang Jue, as a Han people, led the entire Pingzhou Mansion to the Song Dynasty, and robbed and killed the Liaochen Zuo Qigong and others who surrendered to the Jin State. The Song Dynasty named Zhang Jue as the envoy of the Taining Military Festival.

Jin Guofa sent a large army to conscript, and Zhang Jue defeated Wanyan Yanmu first, but was finally defeated by Wanyan Yanli. Zhang Jue fled to Yanjing.

At that time, the pacification of Yanshan Road made Wang Anzhong forced under the pressure of the Jin people to hand over Zhang Jue's head to the Jin State. This incident caused an uproar among the Han people in Yandi, including Guo Yaoshi, who was under the command of the Changsheng army, who believed that the Song Dynasty was unreliable, could not be entrusted with his life, and had no value of allegiance. Immediately, tens of thousands of Yan people rebelled against Song and returned to Jin.

When Hu Yangeng saw the Yan people heading south, he naturally asked about their relationship with Zhang.

"Zhang Jieshuai is the subordinate father of the next. Dare to ask who is the general's subordinate? ”

"We are under the command of Hu Yangeng, the judge of Hebei Zhaofu, and we are here today."

"Dare to ask where Judge Huyan is now?"

"This is not the place to speak, please Zhang Gong lead the clansmen back to the camp with us."

Zhang Chengyan agreed after a little consideration, his team had run out of gas, and if they didn't get support and supplies, they would be starving.

The team of Pingzhou refugees, after Hu Yangeng joined, the style changed. It's no longer an aimless run, at least now there's a clear place to target.

"I wonder how Judge Huyan will arrange for me to wait for Yanren?" Hu Yangeng has already identified himself.

"If Zhang Gong is willing, he can be incorporated into our army."

On the way, Hu Yangeng said to Zhang Chengyan: "My family's training method is different from other families, Zhang Gong wants to join our army, and his subordinates need to give unified orders and practice more." ”

"Zhang Chengyan is willing to listen to the teachings of Judge Huyan and personally train the clansmen." Zhang Chengyan grabbed the group of refugees in hand and didn't let go.

"Most of them are relatives of Zhang Gong's old people, and I ask Zhang Gong to explain more to everyone." This bunch of refugees, Hu Yangeng can't look at it for the time being.

"yes, definitely."

Zhang Chengyan had already thought clearly on the way back to the camp with Huyangeng, compared to him, these people were not so much his subordinates or clansmen, but now they could be said to be a burden to his escape.

Now that the old, weak, sick and disabled can be taken over, it is naturally the best, and it is undoubtedly better for the young and strong to be organized into an army to protect him.

Under this mentality, Zhang Chengyan took a short rest in the camp, then gathered his subordinates together, the young and strong stayed, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were handed over to Huyangeng.

It's just that when the displaced people heard that they were going to follow the command of an unfamiliar Hebei bandit general, they were in an uproar.

"Zhang Jieshuai was harmed by the Song people." That's right, Zhang Jue was killed by Wang Zhong'an, the Xuanfu envoy of the Song State, and handed over his head to the Jin people.

"Pingzhou has been broken by Wanyan and is homeless at this time. Although the Jurchens are known as Khitan Yan people, they treat everyone equally, but the Jin soldiers are brutal by nature, and they are often taken captive every day, even if they are high-ranking officials and generous people, how can we feed tigers and wolves with our bodies now? Moreover, the Jin soldiers are unscrupulous, and often kidnap the soldiers and maids of my Han family as slaves and maids. ”

After seeing the uproar of the people, Hu Yangeng had already jumped out to take over Zhang Chengyan, who was somewhat unexpected, and continued to give speeches and mobilize. In his mouth, the battle of Bianjing became his own sole responsibility, and it was he who commanded Ruoding and risked the arrows and stones himself, so that he forced the Jin soldiers to negotiate peace and withdraw from the army.

After publicizing Hu Yangeng's exploits, the rest of the things were much easier. The thousand-person team of displaced people was divided into three parts by Huyan Geng, and according to the relationship between families and relatives, they were dispersed into various teams. After a chaotic rearrangement, two conductors of five hundred men were formed. The old, weak, sick and disabled are separately organized into old camps.

Now with Hu Yangeng's own cavalry command, he has a population of nearly 2,000 on hand. That night, they set up camp on the banks of the Baigou River. After settling down a little, Zhang Chengyan summoned his henchmen to discuss.

"Although this son is the founding of the country, he has been in Western Xinjiang for a long time, and he is a martial artist and vulgar." Zhang Chengyan had a strategist beside him who said this.

"So what, he has cavalry, I don't." Zhang Chengyan thought very clearly about the strength of his strength.

For a while, the scene cooled down, and the atmosphere was a little deserted. Another strategist said: "Zhang Gong is Zhang Taining's subordinate, or he may succeed to the throne of Pingzhou and order Yanmin." ”

"For more than three years, in the area of Yan Ji, the Yan people have been oppressed and plundered by gold thieves. The Jin people often take captives for food when they have no food, and the swallow thistle is disturbing everywhere, so it may be worth a try. ”

"Yanjing to Lulong, the countryside is dilapidated, the remnants build a city and live, if Zhang Gong wants to start from Yan Ji, he still needs to contact all parties to make it happen!" Someone else put forward his opinion.

"Whether it will be successful or not, I don't want to discuss it anymore, and now we only want to cross the river and go south." Some of the scholars accompanying Zhang Chengyan were disheartened.

"If Zhang Gong has no merit, crossing the river to the south will only be lightened. But it's not unthinkable. Another scholar said: "You can ask Hu Yangeng to take charge of Pingzhou affairs, contact the red scarf, circulate in Yanjing, take Jimen and even Lulong, so as to dedicate himself to the ministers of the Song Dynasty, and seek the title of the person who returns from the south." ”

"What a good plan." Zhang Chengyan was overjoyed, and said frustratedly: "Hu Yangeng was originally an official of the imperial court, how could he listen to my persuasion." ”

"Zhang Gong, Hu Yangeng is the judge of Zhaofu, and he is the Xuanfu Division, it is his duty to attack the city and plunder the county, if Zhang Gong says the strategy of going to Pingzhou, he will definitely not be able to ask for it."

"Zhang Gong, do you want to show me as the envoy of the Taining Military Festival?" When Zhang Chengyan brought this matter up to Hu Yangeng, Hu Yangeng just felt funny. Zhang Chengyan grew up under the rule of the Liao State, and he didn't know the official system of the Great Song Dynasty.

Hu Yangeng glanced at Zhang Chengyan, this Taining military festival envoy, except for a tiring name, is of no use at all. Being in the Jurchen control area, with this name, I am afraid that the possibility of attracting the attention of the Jurchens has increased a lot.

"This is also an opportunity for the general." When I was in a hurry, I stammered a little. Zhang Chengyan, who stumbled, hoped to regain the merits of Pingzhou, seek a knighthood from the Song Dynasty, and then live in the south peacefully. He lowered his head and waited for Hu Yangeng's decision.

Hehe, Hu Yangeng smiled in his heart. It's not that easy, but in a desperate situation, there is no way to lose it. He walked around Zhang Chengyan, who was waiting for a decision, and his heart moved.

"I don't know if Zhang Gong is near Pingzhou, what old department or internal should he have?"

Zhang Chengyan said: "There are some uncles' old departments, but they have already lowered their money, I don't know if they can be trusted." He felt a burst of worry and shame in his heart, and he didn't look at Hu Yangeng, said hello, and wanted to leave.

"Where does Zhang Gong want to go?" Hu Yangeng asked.

"People are soft-spoken, and there is nothing to grow, so why make people laugh."

"Being laughed at by others, where did the words come from, Zhang Taining gave up the surrender conditions of the Jin State and resolutely led the soldiers and civilians of Pingzhou to return to the Song Dynasty, a true hero."

"Yes...... Can...... I didn't keep my uncle's inheritance. Zhang Chengyan cried bitterly.

"The Jurchens are powerful, and this is not a crime of war." When Hu Yangeng was talking to Zhang Chengyan, an idea was secretly formed in his heart.

"Zhang Gong, instead of taking Pingzhou from Huyan Geng, why don't Zhang Gong come to take Pingzhou and restore Uncle Ling's foundation, how about I show Zhang Gong as the envoy of the Taining Army?"

"You mean?"

"I am willing to help Zhang Gong take Pingzhou, and ask the imperial court for Zhang Gong."

"That'...... What are the conditions for Ming Gong? ”

"Huyan Geng is determined to drive out the northern captives and recover the rivers and mountains, and Zhang Gong wants to listen to my orders."

Zhang Chengyan thought for a while and made a decision: "If you get the title of the Great Song Dynasty, you will be a Song Chen, and General Huyan will be my superior, so naturally listen to the general's orders, general, please accept the last general." ”
