"I have asked Gao Zhong for a name, and from now on, you will be my wife." The day before the expedition, Hu Yangeng said goodbye to Gao Lu.

"Who said that? You still have to carry a sedan chair to marry me. "The name of Hu Yangeng has been decided, Gao Lu wants to avoid suspicion, before the official marriage, she is not willing to stay by Hu Yangeng's side.

"Okay, Ming Media is getting married, and there are a lot of etiquette." Gently hugged Gao Lu, Hu Yangeng said goodbye to her and returned to his residence in Cangzhou, Zhang Chan did not move to Hejian because she was pregnant.

"Tomorrow's expedition?" Zhang Chan asked.

Although Zhang Chan had asked this many times, Hu Yangeng still replied gently: "Yes." ”

"I thought the officials would stay with the Gao family's little lady."

Hu Yangeng raised his head in surprise and glanced at Zhang Chan, when would Zhang Chan say such frivolous words? Only then did I feel Zhang Chan's resentment.

The troubles of the harem are all self-inflicted, and before marrying Gao Lu and Zheyue Lan, we must find a solution.

In the evening, after a family of four had dinner, Zhang Chan said to Wang Yanshu and Dai Juan: "Tomorrow the officials will go on the expedition, and the two of you will serve the officials tonight." ”

Hu Yangeng's back was agitated: "Madam, I'll accompany you tonight...... and children. ”

Zhang Chan snorted: "I'm afraid that I'll kill you, and I'll mess with flowers and grass outside, if you're done with them, come back to accompany me." ”

Wang Yanshu told a joke, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became relaxed.

On the second day, the first, second, and third regiments stationed in Cangzhou set off, and the third regiment can be described as Cangzhou's children.

Hu Yangeng looked at the dense crowd on both sides of the road and asked softly, "So early, why are there so many people?" Still standing by the side of the road in such an orderly manner. ”

Zhi Yuelan replied: "Naturally, Luan Ge informed the people of every family, the soldiers of the three regiments, and most of them are Cangzhou children, and the family members have returned, and the people have naturally come." ”

"Such a neat arrangement on the side of the road was also arranged by Luan Ge?"

"Exactly."

"The third lady really didn't let the women shave their eyebrows, after I left, Zhang Yunenvoy sat in Cangzhou, and asked the third lady to help him maintain it."

"This is natural, but you took away many fierce generals this time, leaving only the camp commander Xuanzan, in case something happens in the rear, do you really want Gao Lu to go into battle in person?"

"The third lady made fun of it, I left Qin Shiqin in Cangzhou, he has both courage and resourcefulness, which is of great use."

"Qin Shiqin, he is a native of Suzhou, Huaibei, and it is indeed a waste to put it in Henghai."

Hu Yangeng was about to study Zheyuelan's sigh in detail, why the two Huai people were wasted in Cangzhou, but Zheyuelan said another thing: "Lu Mei followed the general this time, served as a clerk, and also took care of the general's daily life, and hoped that the general's subordinates would be merciful." ”

Speaking of Lu Mei, Hu Yangeng relaxed: "You know that I have bad intentions towards Lu Mei, and you still send the wolf into the tiger's mouth?" ”

"It's Lu Mei who wants to come and feed the tiger with his body." Zhe Yuelan smiled: "How can you send a wolf?" ”

"Lu Mei took the initiative to bring it up, because she was still worried about killing me."

Zhi Yuelan smiled: "She said that if you have the Lord by your side with a woman, you will be less likely to harm some girls' families." ”

How? Hu Yangeng thought to himself, in the final analysis, I didn't look for a few, you and Gao Lu haven't started yet, the generals of the Great Song Dynasty, it's common to lead a team of kabuki in the army, why is it rumored that I'm lustful?

At this time, I saw a group of people, who came to Huyan Geng's horse in a group to bow down: "I wish Hu the victory of the main flag, the success of the horse, and the prince of Wandai." And he offered a food box.

Hu Yangeng looked at Zhi Yuelan, and Zhi Yuelan nodded: "Don't worry, they are all from homeless people, and there are men in the army in their families, so they offer their hearts to the general." ”

The guards took the food box and opened it, and there were a few cakes and a pot of water and wine inside.

Hu Yangeng looked at the food box, and then at Zheyuelan, just after laughing at me for being lustful, and now this one is coming again, is it turning too fast. He took out the flask, took a sip, and exclaimed, "Good wine!" ”

The people smiled with relief, and if the Lord was happy, they would be able to win the battle, which meant that the children of the family would return safely.

"All the army, let's go!"

In the territory of Cangzhou, the march of the army was quiet and steady, and at the town of Nandashu on the edge of the Yellow River, it joined the troops from between the rivers. The whole army is based on the capital, and every four side vans form a squad. In the flat area, the soldiers sang in unison, and when crossing some small ravines, the sound of carts was everywhere.

The morale of the army was high, and Hu Yangeng entered along the road to talk and laugh with Lu Mei, and he was in a very happy mood.

When they arrived in Jizhou, the scenery changed, the army found a village, the houses were scattered in the harvested farmland, how could there be hundreds, the military went to the door to ask, but there was no one.

"This village has already been fed by gold thieves, and the people have either fled or been captured by gold thieves."

Lu Mei staggered between the ridges, suddenly screamed, and fell to the ground. She had tripped over a corpse that had been gnawed off by wild dogs or wolves, and the rest was rotting and stenching.

The soldiers searched around the houses and found that there were still the corpses of ordinary people, mostly old and weak, women and children, but also the corpses of men, some of whom still held flat poles in their hands.

"It's getting late, I'll camp here tonight, and take Gaoping tomorrow."

Hu Yangeng did not make any speeches and mobilize. There are many soldiers and soldiers, and if they had not fled to Cangzhou, this village would have been their fate. Every soldier has long understood this truth.

Lu Mei made the bed for Hu Yangeng, and opened a roll of his felt far away from Hu Yangeng.

"Come and stay with me."

"General, I, the slave and maid are not in the mood today." She was still thinking about the villagers.

"I'm not in the mood either, I'm just talking to you."

Lu Mei came over as he said, and Hu Yangeng was silent for a long time before he said: "You say, if we had sent troops earlier, wouldn't we have been able to save a few more villages?" ”

"Yes, the general is invincible......"

"Shut up." Drinking stopped Lu Mei, Hu Yan Geng thought hard for a while: "If you send troops immediately after pacifying Zhang Yiqian......

"I can't save a few villages, there are so many villages in Hebei, the gold thief is here for a while, and there for a while, how can he save it."

Hu Yangeng looked at Lu Mei for a while: "I should send troops as soon as possible, if I can save one person, if I can kill one more gold thief, I can kill them a day earlier." ”

He looked at Lu Meichu's pitiful appearance: "Come here, sleep." ”

He hugged Lu Mei in his arms, but this time there was no trace of lust, he just wanted to protect this girl, just like protecting his relatives.

Gaoping, the easternmost county seat in Jizhou, is just ahead.

After listening to the outpost's report, Hu Yangeng asked, "Who will help Ben to take the first credit." ”

"We're willing to go." When Hu Yangeng saw it, it turned out to be Wu Song. "The arrival of our army is majestic, I am afraid that Gaoping City has already prepared, this time we can't grab the city alone, or attack from all sides, it is the right way."

Yang Sansheng said: "I am willing to go." ”

"Okay, today I will see the first regiment make miraculous achievements." Yang Sansheng is Hu Yangeng's hair, and when he has such an opportunity, he naturally lets him show his face.

Yang Sansheng took the first regiment to the outside of Gaoping City, set up a camp, and ordered the armor guards to cut down trees and build engineering equipment. The difference between the armor guards and the ordinary people is that they are also organized according to the command-capital-Shiwu, and can be easily incorporated into the regular army when necessary.

After a short rest, Yang Sansheng ordered the frog cannon to be taken out and began to test the cannon, the cannon rang out three times, and a commotion on the city wall was heard, and then the city gate was opened, and Gaoping surrendered.

There were not many Jin soldiers left in the city, and they had already been killed by the officials who surrendered

Huyan Genggao sat in the hall and asked, "Xujia Village in the east is under the rule of Gaoping?" ”

The magistrate, who took the lead in surrendering, stood at the foot of the hall and said: "It was under the rule of Gaoping that most of the men in Xujia Village were captured by the gold thieves, and the women and children were killed. ”

"It turns out that the county lord knows." Hu Yangeng asked sharply: "What has the county respected done for these people?" ”

The magistrate was dumbfounded: "Do, what to do?" I'm a scholar......"

"Compared with the time when the county zun lowered the gold, he also used 'for the lives of the people in the city' as an excuse, but the gold thief did not keep his word and slaughtered the villages under his rule, didn't the county zun do something?"

This magistrate still has to distinguish it, Hu Yangeng shouted: "Take him into custody first, and then deal with it when the general is presented to the court." ”

Although he hated this Zhixian who had surrendered to the enemy and could not protect the people under his rule, it was inconvenient to kill him, because he had surrendered back to the side of the Song Dynasty, and if he was killed now, the Song Dynasty officials who surrendered to the Jin State would probably think that they had no way to return to the Song Dynasty.

Hu Yangeng took into custody some officials in the Gao Plain and set up a base camp in Gaoping. Subsequently, he sent the first and second regiments out and surrounded Wuyi.

Wuyi is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, and across the Yellow River is Wuqiang County. The two counties have been merged into one county many times, which shows the proximity of the distance. However, Wuqiang County was included in the territory of Shenzhou.

The two county towns of Wuqiang and Wuyi are built between the rivers, and the area between the two counties is the confluence of the Hutuo River, the Hulu River and the Yellow River. Wanyan Liduo attacked the two prefectures of Shenzhao and took Wuqiang County as the location of the grain.

The two counties of Wuyi and Wuqiang, located in the hub of the three rivers, are also the places where Wanyan Liduo tun grain, so Wanyan Liduo left heavy troops to defend in these two counties. Each county has a Hezha Meng'an garrison.

The 3rd and 4th Red Turban Regiments crossed the Yellow River and surrounded Wuqiang County. Hu Yangeng held the fifth and sixth regiments in his hands as backup.

The current situation is that the main force of Wanyan Liduo was divided into small units and plundered in Zhaozhou and Shenzhou, while Huyan Geng copied his back road, seized Gaoping, surrounded Wuyi and Wuqiang, and cut off the grain and grass of Wanyan Liduo.

Several other counties in Jizhou: Hengshui, Xindu, Nangong, Zaoqiang, etc., did not have many Jin soldiers left.

Therefore, according to normal logic, Wanyan Liduo should turn back to save his grain channel, and the two sides of Song and Jin will start a decisive battle between Wuyi and Wuqiang.
