The main force of the Jin soldiers was mostly cavalry, even the Bohai people and Khitans, most of them had horses, and only the Song soldiers who were used as auxiliaries and the captured Minzhuang were abandoned on the battlefield by the Jin soldiers.

After a whole day of hard fighting, the Song army finally repelled the enemy who had been ambushed. Hu Yangeng ordered that after all units cleaned up the battlefield, they moved closer to the front army and camped on the spot.

In this battle, not counting the captured Song soldiers, there were more than 2,000 corpses left on the battlefield by the Jin soldiers. The golden soldiers in Hedong can be described as a great injury.

Shi Jin led Wang Jin's horse and slowly walked off the battlefield. Wang Jin was hit by three arrows and one sword, relying on exquisite martial arts to fight with hundreds of gold soldiers, after the gold soldiers retreated, Wang Jin, who was over sixty years old, could no longer hold on, ran out of oil and lamp, and fell on his horse. That night, Wang Jin, who had been unconscious, finally opened his eyes, and there was a hint of blush on his face.

Before others could cry with joy and before they could speak, Chen Da had already leaned in front of Wang Jin, with a lot of tears and snot on his face, and shouted in surprise: "Commander, you can finally wake up." Does the commander know? I'm so scared that I'm gone, and if we don't wake up, what are we going to do? ”

Wang Jin, who had just woken up, couldn't help frowning when he saw that Chen Da's tears and snot were about to drip onto his face.

Shi Jin saw Wang Jin frowning and looking at Chen Da, his lips moved, he didn't make a sound, and hurriedly stepped forward and pushed Chen Da away. Although Chen Da was very dissatisfied, but looking around, except for Yang Chun, everyone else looked at him as if they were looking at a poisonous snake, and he had no choice but to step aside.

Shi Jin choked up with tears in his eyes and choked up: "Master...... Is it better? What do you have to say? ”

Wang Jin's cloudy eyes finally came to life, and he saw clearly that it was Shi Jin who was standing anxiously next to him, his rapid breathing became slightly more even, and his undulating and trembling chest began to calm down.

Wang Jin's hand moved, and Zhu Wu hurriedly leaned down and put his hand on the side of the kang where Wang Jin could reach. Wang Jin put his hand on the back of Zhu Wu's hand and stroked it gently.

Shi Jin remembered that he had learned art from Wang Jin before, and the past came to his heart, and he couldn't help but be unable to control his feelings anymore, big tears rolled down, and he called out from the bottom of his heart: "Master, ......"

Outside, the north wind was howling and blowing harder and louder, and the cotton curtain was lifted by the wind, and a few snowflakes drifted in from outside, and it snowed again.

Wang Jin spit out a few words from his mouth with difficulty: "...... Army...... How is the army now? ”

Zhu Wudao: "The Tartars have already retreated, listen to the report of the sentinels, and the Tartars under the city of Longde Mansion have also withdrawn, so the commander will rest assured." ”

Hearing that Longde had lifted the siege, Wang Jin closed his eyes with relief, and after a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Shi Jin: "That's good...... I want to ...... desperately with the Tartars" The words were a little haste, and Wang Jin coughed with difficulty and spat bloody phlegm in pain.

The officers gathered around said in unison: "Please rest assured!" The brethren will fight to the end with the Tartars, and they will never be pawns! ”

Wang Jin nodded slightly, barely opened his eyes, grabbed Shi Jin's hand, and sighed. "Alas...... Unfortunately, I can't do it...... I can no longer lead you to kill the Tartars together. ”

"Master, you will definitely get better!"

Wang Jin looked at Shi Jin, with a wry smile on his face, and said softly: "It's just that this Heshuo big gun, you have only learned fifty percent......"

Shi Jin was anxious to say something, but Wang Jin stopped him and hurriedly said, "You will bring this commander, and the Heshuo big gun will also be passed on by you, go to Duzhong, find a sect leader named Lin Chong, and let him pass it on to you." ”

Shi Jin stalked and nodded.

"Okay." Wang Jin closed his eyes tiredly and never opened them again.

The Jin soldiers besieging the city of Longde Mansion have withdrawn, and Huyan Geng has smoothly advanced to Longde Mansion. He stationed a large army outside the city and entered the city on his own to meet Zhang Qu and Wang Yu.

On the way to the government, Hu Yangeng saw that the city was in a mess, and many houses along the road were demolished, thinking that it was used to defend the city. In one of the ruins of a house, children frolicked carefree, and a child cried out with a branch in high aloft: "I am the king's general, the Tartar, am I here to die?" Thunder stone rolling wood, smash it for me. The children, who were divided into two groups, began to fight with clods of earth.

Hu Yangeng came to the front of the government office, and there was a porridge shed not far from the entrance of the ya, a master, and three officials were giving porridge. Although there are many people who take porridge, it is orderly, and they have been thinking about coming to the government for many days.

Hu Yangeng entered the government office and went straight into the lobby. Hedong Road pacified Zhang Qu, and Wang Yu, the head of the Shengjie army, sat in the hall. Hu Yangeng pushed Jinshan down to worship the jade pillar, and saw his father-in-law and handsome.

Zhang Qu asked Hu Yangeng to sit down and described in detail the situation of the battle with the Jin soldiers in the past month. After listening to Hu Yangeng's speech, Wang Yu asked, "Can you report the results of the battle to the visiting envoy?" "The visiting envoy refers to Zhang Hao, the visiting envoy of Xihe, who is also the commander of the Shaanxi soldiers who rescued Taiyuan, and theoretically has the power to dispatch troops from all over Shaanxi.

Hu Yangeng said: "I have reported that Zhang visited and knew, and asked him to come to Longde quickly." ”

Wang Yu pondered for a while, and said to Zhang Qu: "After finishing the silver technique, this thief has withdrawn to Taiyuan, and I heard Shu Kang say that the Tartars suffered heavy losses at the foot of Fa Jiu Mountain, and there were 2,000 beheadings. Coupled with the wounded, the Tartars were only afraid of losing tens of thousands. ”

Zhang Quxi said: "Sticky Han, this thief went east to the capital, in the east of the river, Yinshu can be a lone army and suffered a heavy setback, why don't we take the opportunity to counterattack Taiyuan." ”

Wang Yu said: "The siege of Longde Mansion has just been lifted, and all the soldiers have meritorious, so it is better to appease the army in the camp tomorrow, comfort them, and then make a decision." Wang Yu's meaning was to let Zhang Qu understand the situation of Hu Yangeng's subordinates first.

Zhang Sure said: "Why wait until tomorrow, come, pass the order, find some more copper coins in the treasury, and the mansion will go to the labor army in the afternoon." ”

Longde Mansion is the place where Li Gang supervised the war, and it is also the place where grain and grass are transferred to the army. Although grain and grass equipment were occasionally worn out during the siege, there was no shortage of copper coins.

Soon, Zhang Qu transferred five systems of thousands of coins from the treasury to use them as labor troops. Zhang Qu and Wang Yu went around Huyangeng's camp and returned to the back of the city with a gloomy color. Taking advantage of Hu Yangeng's absence, Zhang Qu secretly asked Wang Yu: "How can such a military man compare with Xiao Chongjiedu's command, and how can he repel Yan Yinshuke." ”

Zhang did see in the camp that although the soldiers were not demoralized, they were lucky to defeat Yan Yinshu, and they had no desire to fight. If you drive such a soldier to the city of Taiyuan and forcibly fill in the trenches to attack the city, you must mutiny.

Wang Yu persuaded: "The Tartars are besieging the capital in the east, and the urgent task at the moment is to go to King Qin." The thief in Taiyuan, and let him breathe for a few days. "Wang Yu is a veteran in the army, and he has a good idea of what the situation of the Song soldiers is, and he has already made up his mind not to storm Taiyuan, but to bring the main force to King Qin, Dumen.

Seeing that Zhang had accepted his idea, Wang Yu struck while the iron was hot and explained his strategy. After roughly agreeing with Zhang Qu, Wang Yucai summoned Hu Yangeng and said: "Take us and Zhang to visit and join forces, and this commander will take you to the east to aid the capital and King Qin." ”

Hu Yangeng said: "The last general will obey the order." At the end, there is one more thing to appease and marry. ”

"Just say it."

"At the Yuanqu ferry, the last general arranged for a man named Zhang Heng to collect the boats. He was originally recruited by the Jiangyang thief, and he was the best at managing the ship, and the army went down by boat, so that he could get ahead of the thief and get to the capital gate. ”

"Okay, you can arrange it."

Zhang Hao got the news and soon drove Jane to Lund. Wang Yu and Zhang Xiaochun are friends in distress, and when Zhang Hao meets Wang Yu, he holds the gift of his son and nephew. Wang Yu's arrangement was not allowed.

So the three high-ranking officials in Hedong each received a task, Wang Yu led 30,000 elite soldiers to the east to serve the king, Zhang Hao returned to Shaanxi with the guards, sorted out the remaining soldiers and horses of the western army, and prepared to help the east again. Zhang Qu led about 10,000 people to stay in Lund.

On November 30, Wang Yu and Hu Yangeng arrived in Yuanqu with the elite soldiers of the six compartments. Song Bing's family members also met here. Wang Yu ordered the whole army to rest for three days, and then sail eastward. Hu Yangeng finally met his wife Zhang Chan and the maid Dai Juan.

Five days later, in the middle of the boat, Wang Yu said to Hu Yangeng: "Is there any new news in Hebei?" ”

"Marshal, the last news I got was that I was really surrounded. At that time, I had already divided my troops and asked Qiu Muling Zhonglian to lead 500 horse troops and 500 infantry troops to Hebei to reinforce. ”

Wang Yu thought about it for a while, and then remembered who the retainer who followed Hu Yangeng was. Then he said: "I don't know what the situation in Hebei is." ”

"After two days of sailing, we arrived at Mengjin Ferry, the north bank of Mengjin is Heyang, which belongs to Hebei East Road. The south bank is Mengjin, which belongs to the North Beijing Road. When you go to Mengjin, you can go ashore to investigate, and you can also divide a light army and go directly to the capital by land. ”

At the same time, Hebei West Road, Heyang Mansion, and the army of Sticky Han were stationed here. On the other side, Li Hui, the Privy Council of the Song State Tongzhi, and Zhe Yanzhen, the Xuanfu envoy, led an army of 120,000 to defend the river.

The marshal's mansion of Muhan was located in the Yamen of Mengzhou. He sat upright on the seat of Zhizhou, Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Lou sat on both sides, and Wanyan Huonu and other generals stood at the bottom of the steps. At the bottom of the hall were the ministers Gao Shiyou (formerly the governor of Zezhou) and Zhang Yaozuo (the former Zhiwei Shengjun).

Sticky Han asked, "Can the flag on the south bank of the Great River be clearly detected?" ”

Wanyan Huonu replied: "On the other side, it is the banner of Li Hui and Zhe Yanzhi. ”

"Orihiko?" Wan Yan Lou Room laughed and said, "He doesn't have any ability, I'll wait to take Huaizhou, Huaizhou Zhizhou Huo Anguo was martyred, and this guy fled in the wilderness." The Dajin soldiers invaded Huaizhou, and the honor guards of this guy were still in the city. ”

Wanyan was overjoyed when she heard this: "Let me take three thousand children and cross the river to get the head of Zheyan." ”

Wanyan Xiyin said: "Don't worry, look at the joint camp on the other side of the strait, when there are 100,000 soldiers, the living girl should not be moved lightly." ”

Wan Yan Lou said: "Although there are many Song soldiers, they are not afraid. The outcome of the battle with the war is unknown, so it is better to add a false voice and take the drums of war in the army to see the changes. ”

Sticky Han's eldest son, Yin Zhu Xiaojin, shouted: "Daddy, let the child cross the river to investigate." ”

Wanyan Huonu and Yinzhu shouted like this, and all the generals below were ready to move, and they wanted to lead their headquarters to cross the river first.
