All the generals of the Jin camp shouted to cross the river, and said with a sticky face: "The living girl listens to the order, takes the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and goes to the bank of the river to beat the drum and shout to kill, if the Song army goes out of the camp to guard the river, it will stop the drum, and when the Song army returns to the camp, it will beat the drum again, and only then can you return to the camp to rest." ”

Mu Han ordered his son again: "Yinzhu listens to the order, and the others take their headquarters to find a shallow place to cross the river and find out the news." Be cautious in everything, if you are careless and careless, you will be spared if you break my daughter-in-law. ”

Yinzhu was overjoyed, his heart turned around, and he thought of something: "Please ask my father to point out a local general as a guide." ”

Sticky Han was groaning, and heard the subordinate Zhang Yaozuo shouting: "The criminal minister Zhang Yaozuo has recommended two people to the prime minister and marshal. ”

Sticky Han asked carefully, it turned out that Zhang Yaozuo was served here by two cousins from distant branches, one was Zhang He'an, the supervisor of the soldiers and horses of Heyang Prefecture, and the other was Zhang Heding, the military protector of Mengzhou Township. In daily life, they are called Zhang Dujian and Zhang Tuanlian.

Sticky Han said: "Where are your two brothers now?" Why not just come early? ”

Zhang Yaozuo said: "These two brothers were officials in Heyang as early as now, and they knew that the Song Dynasty was rotten, and they wanted to join the king, but they had no way out. These two people are familiar with the geography of Heyang's military situation, and the prime minister and marshal will know it as soon as they ask. ”

Mu Han sent someone to summon Zhang Dujian and Zhang Tuanlian to inquire carefully.

Zhang Dujian said: "Seven miles downstream here, the water is shallow in winter, you can cross the river on foot, only the soldiers drink a few sips of wine to keep out the cold." ”

Sticky Han said: "Very good, you two brothers will go with my Yinzhu child, the army has crossed the river, Zhang He'an is the prefect of Heyang, and Zhang He is the governor of Mengzhou." ”

The Zhang brothers were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked them.

That night, the deputy envoy of the Song army on the south bank, Zhi Yanzhi, had already fallen asleep, and suddenly, a dense drum beat came from the opposite bank, and there was a faint mixture of people shouting and neighing. Orihiko quickly got up and went outside the tent to check, only to see a torch on the opposite bank, illuminating the riverbank. Zhi Yan smiled: "The thief dares to earn me? He was about to go back to his account to sleep, when suddenly his own soldiers came to report: Li Hui of the Privy Council summoned the generals, but the three drums could not be drummed, and the military law was engaged.

Zheyan was helpless, so he had to go to the big tent. After entering the Chinese military tent, the rest of the generals have already arrived. Li Hui had a calm face, Zhe Yanzhi bent down slightly, and saluted Li Hui, and then sat down on the side seat next to Li Hui without a sound.

"The thieves are so noisy on the north bank, I am afraid that they will cross the river at night, which general is willing to raise his headquarters and attack him halfway?"

A general generously accepted the order, and Li Hui praised him a few words and sent him there. Subsequently, Li replied to the generals not to disarm their armor at night and wait for the day.

After all the generals retreated, Zhi Yan said: "Privy, I'm only afraid that the thief will be deceitful." ”

"Where does the deception come from?"

"Privy and thoughtful, if the thief wants to cross the river at night, he will definitely die down, so that I will not find out, how can there be a reason for beating a drum and a torch."

Li replied: "Folding Xuan, the art of war has clouds, the virtual is real, and the real is virtual." Didn't Yan know that the gold thief was making a big fanfare to confuse us and others, and suddenly crossed the river while I was slack? It's better to be careful. ”

There is still another persuasion. Li replied: "The small species strategy is too careless, and you fell for the tricks of the gold thief, and you are better than the small species strategy?" ”

In this way, under the supervision of Li Huide, the 120,000 Song troops on the south bank tossed all night.

The next day, the Song soldiers yawned.

Li Hui said again: "This golden thief's plan to approve the army is also." If it didn't come last night, it will come today. Seeing this, Zhi Yan sneered again and again, turned around and went back to the camp.

At noon that day, Li Hui, who had been tossing all night and half a day, instructed his soldiers: "The old man should sleep for a while, unless it is a gold thief who crosses the river, don't wake up the old man, if it disturbs the old man's tranquility, he will not be spared." In the afternoon, Li Hui, who had woken up, called the soldiers into the tent, and the soldiers had a letter in their hands, saying that it had been sent by Zheyan.

Li Hui opened the letter and read it for a while, and was furious: "Good thief, he actually ran away." ”

It turned out that Zhe Yanzhi's letter said that Baimajin north of Zheng County was the gateway to Kaifeng and a critical place, and he led 40,000 soldiers to guard Baimajin to guard against the Jin soldiers on the East Road. Li replied, "When did this letter arrive?" ”

"About the end of the day."

"Why don't you wake up the old man immediately?"

"The Privy Counsellor once said that unless the gold thief crosses the river, he should not wake the Privy Counsellor."

"What a bold man, he actually ridiculed the old man, come on, let this guy out, and hit fifty boards."

The sound of beating people and the wails of the soldiers came one after another, Li Hui slowly calmed down, and he suddenly thought of something: "Zhe Yanqing, this thief, didn't he run back to Dumen to sue me." The more Li Hui thought about it, the more wrong it became. He had never personally led the troops, let alone fought a war. If this river is lost, Zhi Yanzhi will refer to himself again, but I am afraid that I will not be able to tell it clearly. The more Li Hui thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he called his master in, drafted a letter, and sent someone to send it to Bianliang overnight.

When Li Hui was so busy that he was ugly, he fell asleep. It seems that as soon as he fell asleep, someone called himself. Li Hui sat up sleepily and heard the report of his own soldiers: "The gold thief has crossed the river." ”

Li Hui was stunned for a while, thought for a while, and then asked, "What did you just say?" ”

"Seven miles downstream, some people saw the gold thief crossing the river."

"Ahh Li Hui had countless thoughts in his mind, "It turns out that Zhe Yanzhi already knew that the gold thief had crossed the river and secretly ran away. I don't know what the imperial court will think. Will my letter be true? ......" In the end, Li Hui made up his mind: "Even a veteran general like Xiaozhong Jinglu and a strong army like Qin Fengjun have been defeated and annihilated, what can I do." Let's go back to Bianliang. ”

So, on the 7th day of the 11th month of the first year of Jingkang, 80,000 Song soldiers from the Mengjin Ferry came together in the morning and found that their commander was gone.

"The general, the general, Li Hui's cowardice is gone." Pang Shan Nuo rushed into the tent and shouted at Qiu Muling Zhonglian.

Qiu Muling Zhonglian was ordered by Hu Yangeng to escort 10,000 Hebei Minzhuang home. After arriving in Hebei, some homeless people, and some Hebei people who saw that Jin's army was strong and could not settle down in Hebei, all defected to Qiu Muling Zhonglian's army. Qiu Muling Zhonglian expanded his subordinates to 5,000 people, escorted more than 100,000 Hebei people, fought and retreated, and finally retreated to the south bank of the Yellow River in November. Just as the seed master Dao died, the imperial court appointed Li Hui to act as the agent to proclaim the Fu affair and raise the defense of the river.

Qiu Muling Zhonglian took his subordinates and defected to Li Hui, and also replenished the equipment for his 5,000 people. It is also Qiu Muling's good luck, the Song Dynasty lacks soldiers who dare to fight, but there is never a shortage of equipment.

Lin Ming asked on the side: "General, what should I do?" I heard that the gold thief had crossed the river. After settling his five wives and concubines, he came to follow Qiu Muling Zhonglian to repay the grace of saving his life.

Qiu Muling Zhonglian said: "The gold thief is not good at boating, even if he crosses the river, he is just a few hundred pawns." He raised his head and ordered: "Pang Shannuo, order 3,000 military horses, block the camp gate, and the whole battalion of 80,000 soldiers will not escape a single one." Give these 80,000 soldiers to the young brother of the Sprinkle family...... The imperial court retained it was a great achievement. Master Lin, call me a commanding horse army, a commanding infantry army, let's go meet the gold thief for a while. ”

Qiu Muling Zhonglian led 500 horses to advance. When he first arrived in Hebei, he only brought 200 horse troops, but fortunately, Pang Shannuo was a Hebei horse wrangler, and he knew the whereabouts of a group of Hebei garrisons and contacted him. Qiu Muling Zhonglian's horse team expanded to 1,000 people. He led an army of 500 horses and went straight downstream to Qilidu

Qilidu, the first wave of hundreds of gold soldiers who crossed the river have gone ashore, although the water here is shallow in winter, but the water is cold at night, only a few dozen people crossed the river last night, but they were occasionally seen by the Song army, scared away Li Hui. The dozens of people who crossed the river probed the water situation on this side of the riverbank, and waited until dawn the next day, set up flags, and guided the brigade to cross the river.

Qiu Muling Zhonglian led 500 horse troops to Qilidu, and hundreds of gold soldiers had already crossed the river.

Qiu Muling Zhonglian shouted, "The Tartars don't have armor, the little ones, kill me." After saying that, he kicked the horse's belly and rushed forward first. The situation is indeed critical. Qiu Muling Zhonglian did not greet the defeated soldiers, and with the experience of a long battle, he immediately judged that whoever captured and maintained this bridgehead would win the battle in this local area. Qiu Muling Zhonglian urged the mount without thinking. Wielding a thirty-pound three-pointed two-edged knife, he rushed straight into the enemy bushes of the bridgehead. He didn't even say hello to his generals and soldiers, because he understood that at this critical juncture, the will of the commander was the order of the whole army, and what his commander saw became the direction of the whole army's assault. Wherever he himself rushed, the whole army would follow him and charge and fight with him.

He rushed into the enemy line like a cloud, and the dirt and dust kicked up by the horses' hooves obscured his vision as well as that of the Jin army. They seemed to be separated by a barrier of dust and mist, and before he could see each other's true faces, four or five iron lances had already barked at him together. He struggled with his three-pointed two-edged knife, and pressed the iron lance to the ground, only to hear two "g-boom" sounds, and the two iron lances broke in unison, and one of them also fell to the ground because of the heavy pressure - in this round of fighting, he himself did not know where the divine power came from, so that he quickly won the victory. Only then did he see the dusty Jin Jun picking up half an iron lance, or with his empty hands, turning his mount and fleeing together.

Qiu Muling Zhonglian took advantage of the momentum to fly and catch up, like General Fei who penetrated into the clouds from above the heavy sky, galloped and galloped at the speed of lightning and thunder, shooting arrows from afar, and slashing with a big knife near him, killing more than a dozen Jin troops in a row, forcing back the rest of the Jin army, and suppressing their arrogance in an instant.

Qiu Muling Zhonglian directly blocked the enemy's offensive momentum with his own strength, and won time for his own actions.

On the narrow ground of the bridgehead, there were so many men and horses gathered that no one could use their hands and feet, so the two sides continued to spread out to the two wings. At this time, all the cavalry of Qiu Muling Zhonglian had arrived, and the five hundred horsemen waded directly from the beachhead like a whirlwind. The Jin soldiers who had just crossed the river were caught off guard, and those who crossed the river first were mainly Song soldiers, who neither mounted nor lined up. Killed to the point of crying wolf.
