Yue Fei detected that the enemy's forces occupying Liyang County were weak, and ordered Liu Jing to lead a thousand men and horses to go. The Song army attacked and conquered the county seat at night, killed more than 500 gold soldiers, and captured Li Saba, the governor of Liyang County and the Taishi of Bohai. The Jin people's Zhili County Zhengzhi fled back to Jiankang Fucheng. Not only that, but also received a large amount of military funds stored by the Jin people in Liyang County.

I have food in my hand, and I don't panic. Guo Ji, the commander of the naval army who has turned into a bandit, is also among them.

Pang Rong heard that Yue Fei was fair, so he visited Yue Fei, told Qi Fanghuo about what happened, and asked Yue Fei to uphold justice.

Yue Fei said: "Commander Hu's grievances, Yue Fei will definitely help him clear up, but it is not an urgent task to do now." Brother Pang was calm for a while, and waited for the gold thief to retreat before making plans. ”

After appeasing the leaders of all walks of life who had their own thoughts, and when they dispersed, Yue Fei sat alone in the tent, and couldn't help but wonder: "King Kang even killed the palace marshal unjustly, is he really a benevolent lord?" The current persecution of the gold thief is not the time to deal with King Kang, but if there is a turnaround......"

"Qi Yu Xuanfu, Wanyan Puluhu gathers troops in Baoding, Wanyan tart lazy army leader, there is a momentum of attacking my Hebei East Road from two ways."

Listening to Zhang Xian's report, Hu Yangeng said with a smile: "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth, but there are more than 100,000 gold thieves, Zhang Xian, you can be safe, but I want to lead a light cavalry and go straight to the east of the river to caress the enemy's back." ”

"Xuanfu is clever, but do you want to be accompanied by General Lugu?"

"No need, I'll just go out with the back army."

Hu Yangeng took Xuanzan as his accompanying chief officer, managing the march and grain and grass, Gao Zhong led the heavy cavalry battalion, Hao Siwen led the light cavalry battalion, Wu Song led the trapping camp, and the new commander of the Beiwei army was Lin Chong.

Hu Yangeng looked at the forty-year-old man in front of him, his figure was still powerful, with a leopard head and eyes, but there was always a kind of tiredness and helplessness in his eyes.

"Lin Chong is just a sinner who is assigned to Cangzhou, and he will use a few pistols and sticks, and General Huyan is a Xuanfu envoy, but he is awarded a high position. Lin Chong was guilty, and he didn't dare to say that he would serve the court, so he could only use some effort for Xuanfu. ”

Lin Chong didn't dare to serve the imperial court, more because he didn't want to. Hu Yangeng thought to himself.

The destination of the Beiwei army this time was Pingyang in the east of the river. Zhang Kejian, the envoy of the Hedong Economic System, although he fought side by side with Puliuru Bosheng in Fenzhou and also had the intention of cooperating with Ma Kuo, he never met Huyangeng. Pingyang is located at the big bend in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, with Pingyang as the foundation, in fact, it can hold many crossings of the Yellow River, so that the golden soldiers in various battlefields cannot echo.

Moreover, Pingyang and Daizhou are located at the north and south ends of Taiyuan, and if Pingyang can grow, it will directly contain Taiyuan.

The capital of the Song Dynasty was in Bianliang, although Huyan Geng had slowly moved the population and industry of Bianliang to Tanggu, but the century-old imperial capital could not be moved in a year or two, and the symbolism of Bianliang could not be occupied by the Jin soldiers even if it became an empty city.

Taiyuan to Bianliang belongs to the shape of the place, when the time is right, as long as a cavalry from Taiyuan, Bianliang can go down in ten days. After five dynasties, the Tang Dynasty was already barely breathing, and Li Tianxia took the risk of sending troops from Taiyuan, throwing everything in one fell swoop, and conquering Bianliang in one fell swoop.

This 2,000-strong back-to-back army, with men and horses, took a boat to the Yellow River. Jin Bing is still not good at water warfare, and when the war is not started, the inspection is not strict, even if he sees Hu Yangeng's fleet, he does not have enough strength to provoke.

The Beiwei army followed the Yellow River, all the way west, until Shaanzhou, and when approaching Xiazhou, they saw the north bank of the Yellow River, and the smoke and dust rose heavily. The spies sent ashore to report: "On the north bank of the Yellow River, there is a large army mobilization. ”

Hu Yangeng stood on the canopy of the ship, and looked into the distance, Shaanzhou was still the banner of the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Yanxian, I haven't seen you for two years, are you still guarding Shaanzhou? In another time and space, Li Yanxian defended Shaanzhou, because he was outnumbered and failed, the Jin soldiers slaughtered the state city, although Li Yanxian fought his way out of the siege, but he felt that he couldn't bear the people who died in Shaanzhou, and he killed himself angrily.

Since Jianyan met Li Yanxian in the second year, Hu Yangeng has not communicated with him. Thinking of this, Hu Yangeng couldn't help but sigh secretly: The intelligence system has not been established until now.

The spies have brought back more detailed information, Li Yanxian is still stationed in Shaanzhou, and the siege of Shaanzhou is still Wanyan Lou's chamber, looking at the posture of the camp, there may be 350,000 people.

Since Wanyan Lou's room is here, the pressure on Yanzhou will be less. Hu Yangeng estimated that the 2,000 people he had on his back would not have much effect if they were filled in Shaanzhou now. He ordered the fleet to intensify the sailing. Ten days later, Huyan Geng arrived in Binh Duong.

Zhang Kejian, the envoy of the Hedong Economic System, greeted him and greeted him at the ceremony of the following officials. Hu Yan Geng was weak, and the two entered the mansion side by side and sat down.

"The people of Pingyang are looking forward to the angels of the court, like looking forward to Ganlin." Zhang Kejian's words slightly revealed a trace of dissatisfaction: since the recovery of Pingyang in the first year of Jingkang, the imperial court has been in a completely laissez-faire state of this place. Fortunately, the gold thief only went to Hexi from Longmen and spared Pingyang.

But this is not a long-term place after all, when the Jin people have their hands freed, sooner or later they will have to deal with Pingyang, Zhang Kejian is a civil official, there are no generals, and there are no soldiers, so how can he deal with the enemy?

"Zhang Jingzhi, Ben Shuai has just become a Xuanfu envoy, isn't he here? It's just that Ben Shuai Xuanfu Sanhe has his own style. I don't know what to do. ”

"The lower officials will obey Jun's orders."

Seeing Zhang Kejian's acquaintance like this, Hu Yangeng handed over to Zhang Kejian a set of documents that Zhang Yancheng had implemented in Hebei: "This Hebei Baojia Law is implemented by the Duke of Hedong in Hedong. ”

"Don't hide it from Xuan Shuai, the students have already contacted the Ma Fang envoy in Hedong to learn and implement the law of protecting the armor, but they can't ask for it, Xuan Shuai is willing to teach him this method, and the students can't ask for it."

Hu Yangeng thought: "Although I have a name for protecting armor, it is actually the main army, the local army, and the township militia, and I have trained thousands of sharp soldiers as skeletons. Hedong has nothing, and if you want to protect your armor, you can only rely on Haoqiang, isn't it nondescript. ”

He didn't explain what he said, but pulled Wang Guanqing, who was accompanying him: "This is my room, and he assists in the implementation of the law of protecting the armor." ”

Wang Guanqing quickly cut to the chase: "Within the whole territory of Hedong, under the jurisdiction of the economic system, how many villages and forts, how many populations, with 1,000 households as a yi, how many yi can be formed?" ”

"Oh, with the war, all the household registrations under Binh Duong have been lost. The villages on the left side of Pingyang add up, three or four thousand people. ”

Hu Yangeng remembered the dilapidated scene of various villages when he rushed out of Taiyuan four years ago.

"Many people fled to the mountains, and each set up a fort, and it was difficult to control it for a while." Zhang Kejian guarded Hedong, but he still made many attempts to gather the people, but it was not very successful.

"If these people are persuaded to go down the mountain, won't they be able to increase the number of mouths quickly?" Wang Guanqing had a whim. "I wish to go up the mountain and say it."

"Guan Qingxiu should be anxious, and listen to the scripture system to finish speaking."

The students also thought about persuading the people in the mountains to come down the mountain, but unfortunately in the nearby Gujiao Mountain, there were robbers on the mountain two years ago, and their power became bigger and bigger, and the people were either lured or arrested, and they were all caught in the mountains. The students tried to recruit An, but they did not have the name of the imperial court, so they sent troops to exterminate them, and they did not have troops at hand. ”

The robbers of Gu Shot Mountain? Hu Yangeng couldn't help but recall a series of actions in Hedong in the first year of Jingkang. "What's the name of these bandit leaders?"

"I heard that they are called Tian brothers: Tian Hu, Tian Leopard, Tian Biao."

Hu Yangeng didn't know that the Tian brothers stole several truckloads of property from Jiangzhou's military rations and military funds, but they remembered the paragraph in "Water Margin" to exterminate Tian Hu, it seems that Tian Hu is indeed a famous bandit or homeless leader in history.

Wang Guanqing is volunteering to recruit Yasuda Tiger again.

"Is it difficult to attack the Gushu cottage?"

Zhang Kejian said: "The terrain of Gusha Mountain is not high, but there are many people in Tianhu, and I see that Xuanshuai is accompanied by only a few thousand, but I am afraid that there will be more damage to the fortress, so it is better to transfer people from Hexi." ”

"Since the people have gone to the cottage, Tian Hu must solve it. Let me consider it. Zhang Jingzhi, how are you communicating with Ma Fang? How much strength does the horse defense envoy have now? ”

"Ma Kuan Ma Defense Envoy sticks to Daizhou, and Wanyan Yinshu can go around, the county seat under Daizhou has been captured by Wanyan Yinshu, only Wutai County is still in the hands of Ma Defense Envoy. To go to Wutai, you have to pass through the surroundings of Taiyuan, which is too risky, and the students have not sent anyone to Daizhou for a long time. There are 20,000 people in the Horse Defense Mission. ”

Zhang Kejian was optimistic, but Hu Yangeng knew the roots of Ma Kuo. Although Ma Kuo had an army of more than 20,000 displaced people, there were only more than 10,000 people who could really fight. And the powerful army gathered in Daizhou has surpassed Ma Kuo's army.

Although he destroyed Lujiawu Fort and used marriage and other means, Ma Kuo was always a co-leader in Daizhou, not a real commander.

Hu Yangeng raised his head and was about to ask someone to bring the map, but after looking at Zhang Kejian, he didn't do so, but asked, "Can there be Go in the warp system?" ”

"There is a student study, does Xuan Shuai want to talk about a game to relieve fatigue?"

"Excuse me, come, put the chessboard on the table."

Hu Yangeng picked up a white seed and put it at Tianyuan: "This is Pingyang." Then he placed a sunspot in the upper right, "This is Taiyuan." "He is like a fly, and he has placed chess pieces in the directions of Daizhou, Fenzhou, Longde, and Shaanzhou, with the black on behalf of the Jin soldiers occupying, and the white on behalf of the Song army.

"At present, there are two Jin soldiers, Wanyan Yinshuke in Taiyuan, and Wanyan Lou Room who is besieging Shaanzhou, each department has a main force of 30,000 or 40,000, plus the signed army that has surrendered, there can be more than 100,000 people in total."

Zhang Kejian wanted to say something, Hu Yangeng waved his hand, and said to himself: "Our army is concentrated in Daizhou, Pingyang, and Shaanzhou. If Daizhou is integrated, there can be 50,000 people, and Shaanzhou has more than 20,000 people, can Pingyang finally come up with 30,000 people? ”

"Xuan Shuai, Pingyang is counted as a strong man, less than 10,000 people." Zhang Kejian cried poorly, and then said: "Shaanzhou is under the jurisdiction of Hexi, and the military strength and Wanyan Lou Room are not superior, Xuan Shuai still don't count them, so as not to attract Wanyan Lou Room and burn himself." ”

Alas. Hu Yangeng sighed secretly, it was really the limitations of the feudal bureaucracy.
