In a hill near Dengzhuang Village in the southwest of Dengzhou City.

"How can there be so many cypress trees here?"

"Who planted it?"

General Zhu was questioning the villager who had brought him here.

"It's... These cypresses have been around for many years! ”

"Little... Xiaomin doesn't know either! ”

"Master Jun, can you let the little one go now?"

Of course, the villager was anxious to leave.

"We're short of people to chop wood right now, so of course you're not allowed to leave!"

"Someone!"

"Go grab some villagers in the neighborhood and cut down all the wood... Chopped! ”

General Zhu gestured.

"Master Jun... Master Jun, I know that there is no one nearby who can cut down a tree! ”

"I know!"

"Do you want me to help you find someone?"

When the villager heard General Zhu's order, he immediately came over and volunteered to help find someone.

"Do you really know where there are?"

"Okay, then I'll let a few brothers accompany you and bring all those people over!"

General Zhu said, arranged six soldiers, and went with the villager to find helpers nearby.

"Have you arrived?"

"How far is it?"

"What's going on?"

"Where the hell are you taking us?"

After following the villager for a long time, and never seeing any people nearby, the six soldiers felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, the villager took the opportunity to burrow into the grass on the side, and disappeared in an instant.

The six Song soldiers were about to chase the villager, but they were immediately hit by a rain of arrows and fell to the ground one after another.

"Just you people, deserve to play with my Wang Lao Liu?"

Then the villager walked back and pointed to the bodies of the six soldiers.

At this time, a group of soldiers wearing armor and printing the word 'Ming' immediately gathered around.

"This brother, are you the famous Xiao Zhuge of Dengzhou, Wang Ke, the grandson of General Wang Yan?"

Then, at this time, a general walked over.

"Yes!"

"How do you know my name?"

It turned out that the villager's name was Wang Ke.

As for this Wang Ke, he is actually the son of Wang Fu, the illegitimate son of Wang Yan, a famous anti-gold general who once served as the prefect of Jingnan.

Because he was an illegitimate child, Wang Fu was naturally not treated in the Wang family since he was a child, which caused Wang Fu to be very dissatisfied with the Wang family, and when he was sixteen years old, he quietly ran away from home and joined the Yue family army in Dengzhou and participated in the anti-Jin war.

Unexpectedly, among the sons of the famous general Wang Yan, only this illegitimate son Wang Fu led the troops to fight fiercely, and repeatedly broke the invasion of the Jin soldiers.

Wang Fu, who originally wanted to follow Marshal Yue to recover the Central Plains, saw that Marshal Yue was killed, and after Song Jin negotiated peace, he angrily took his family to live in seclusion near Dengzhou, and did not have any contact with his father and brother.

Wang Fu was not idle when he was in seclusion, but began to carefully teach his son Wang Ke.

I didn't expect this Wang Ke to be really smart, under the teaching of Wang Fu, Wang Ke's reputation gradually became famous around, after all, Zhuge Liang was also a person from Nanyang near Dengzhou, so Wang Ke gradually also had the name of 'Little Zhuge '.

But this Wang Ke was deeply taught by his father, and he looked at fame very lightly, so he lived in seclusion at home and farmed, and did not go out, and even the court and the official uncles in the court repeatedly refused.

This time, Wang Ke wanted to pull some wood home and build some household things, but he accidentally met Song Bing on the way, and forced him to take him to find the place where the wood was cut.

Wang Ke originally didn't have a good impression of the officers and soldiers, and wanted to use the cypress forest near Tugang to play tricks on those Song soldiers.

But when Wang Ke found that these Song soldiers were numerous, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to succeed, he thought of the Xu Ming army he found nearby yesterday.

Therefore, Wang Ke just took advantage of the opportunity of the Song generals to let him come to help him find migrant workers, and led these Song soldiers to Xu Ming's army, and used Xu Ming's army to avenge himself.

"After the famous general, the name of Xiao Zhuge , how could I not have heard of it?"

"Speaking of which, are we still old friends?"

It turned out that the general was Yue Lin.

"You say we're old friends?"

"You said your surname is Yue?"

"Could it be that you are after Marshal Yue?"

When Wang Ke heard Yue Lin's words, of course he was the first to think of this.

"Haha!"

"Xiao Zhuge is really powerful!"

"My father is Marshal Yue!"

Yue Lin responded with a smile.

"After Marshal Yue, he is really so magnificent!"

"I heard before that General Yue Lin followed Xu Dashuai to destroy the Tartar Emperor Wanyanliang, and then crusaded against the Central Plains and recovered a large amount of Central Plains land!"

"But why didn't Xu Dashuai continue to crusade against the Tartars, but rebelled against the Song court, and now he is like fire and water with the Song court?"

Wang Ke asked suddenly.

"Our Majesty was also forced!"

"After all, what happened to my late father back then, but I remember it vividly!"

"Brother Wang Ke, in fact, just like your father once was, wasn't he also forced to live in seclusion?"

"So I believe that brother, you must be able to understand our majesty's helplessness now!"

Yue Lin replied.

"Your Majesty?"

"Could it be that the rumors in the world that Xu Dashuai brought the orthodox jade seal of the country and ascended the throne in Luoyang to become the emperor, is it true?"

Wang Ke asked again.

"yes!"

"If Your Majesty does not ascend the throne and become emperor, how can we stabilize the hearts of the people in the Central Plains and stabilize those generals of the Jin Kingdom?"

"However, after our majesty ascended the throne and became emperor, he did not have any pleasure at all, but was more diligent than before!"

Yue Lin responded.

"I have long heard of your majesty's virtues, but it's a pity that I, a mountain villager, can't go far and don't have the opportunity to visit!"

"Alas......!"

Wang Ke couldn't help but say.

"Brother Wang, why are you sighing?"

"Could it be that there is a problem at home"

Yue Lin seemed to have guessed something.

"Alas... My father died of illness a few years ago, and my mother's health has gradually become unwell in the past two years, and now I can only take good care of my mother at home, otherwise I really want to go to Luoyang and see your majesty's heroic appearance! ”

Wang Ke responded.

"That's it!"

"Why don't you wait for me to lead the troops to relieve the siege of Dengzhou this time, and then go to your house to visit your aunt?"

Of course, Yue Lin can't forget his mission.

"General Yue, do what you say!"

"Could it be that you brought troops here this time to understand the siege of Dengzhou?"

Wang Ke immediately asked.

"yes!"

"I'm here this time to understand the siege of Dengzhou!"

"It's a pity that the strength of the Song soldiers besieging the city this time is too strong, and there is still Li Xianzhong's army in Tangzhou City not far away, which can support me at any time, so after I rushed to the vicinity of Dengzhou City, I never dared to act rashly!"

Yue Lin seemed a little worried.

"General Yue means that you can now besiege Dengzhou at any time, but you are worried that the main force of the Song army near Tangzhou will come to support, right?"

Wang Ke asked.

"yes!"

"I didn't expect Brother Wang, as soon as I said it, you understood what I was worried about, and it really deserved Xiao Zhuge ah!"

Yue Lin appreciated Wang Ke even more at this time.

"I heard that Li Xianzhong used to be the general of your Majesty's account, and he has always admired your Majesty very much, and now although it has sent troops to fight against your Majesty, but in my opinion, it probably doesn't really want to lead the army!"

"And now it chooses to garrison Tangzhou, and it has not continued to go north, nor has it sent troops to help Wang Zhen attack Dengzhou, I'm afraid there is another hidden reason!"

Wang Ke analyzed.
