Luo Tianchu said: "Our casualties in this battle are not light, is the medicine on the knife enough?" Wu Jie said: "Enough, thanks to Brother Zhu." Luo Tianchu said: "Let the soldiers work in shifts tonight, and many city walls need to be repaired in case the Jin soldiers attack again." The wounded soldiers can't fight anymore, so I think it's better to write to the Iron Hall Master and ask him to send another 10,000 reinforcements, so that even if the Jin soldiers attack again, they won't be afraid. Gongsun Mingyue said: "I have sent two letters urging the army, but there has been no response for a month, somehow." Luo Tianchu muttered, "Could it be that the messenger went wrong on the way?" Gongsun Mingyue nodded, with a worried look on his face.

At this moment, Lu Fei walked in laughing from the outside and said, "I've heard that you have won a big battle, it's amazing, thank you for your hard work." They hurriedly added a seat to him and asked him how he had come here. Lu Fei said with a smile: "Xiao Luo, oh no, the commander is clever, the Jin soldiers really divided four thousand troops to sneak attack Dasanguan, we intercepted the upper reaches of the Bailong River in advance according to the instructions, and when they crossed the river, the ambush soldiers suddenly released arrows, and then released the water to flood them, and the Jin soldiers were really defeated." When the troops were withdrawn, they were intercepted by the ambushes who came from the road, and the Jin soldiers were all annihilated, capturing hundreds of people, and the harvest was really not small. We learned from the captives that their main force was attacking Heshangyuan, and since there was no fighting in Dasanguan, I came back first to help, but I didn't expect to be a step late, and you had already repelled the Jin soldiers. Everyone was overjoyed, and they told the battle process again, Lu Fei was full of praise while listening, Zanluo Tianchu was sympathetic to the people, brave and strategic, and even marveled at Zhu Yushi's magic skills in summoning animals, and it was a pity that he couldn't witness it with his own eyes.

Everyone was chatting happily, and a soldier came to report: "There is a man named Zhang Xian outside the city who wants to see General Yue, we don't recognize him, and we don't dare to put it in without permission." Yue Yun got up in surprise and said, "Is Uncle Zhang here?" The heroes had heard Zhang Xian's name for a long time, and knew that he was Yue Fei's brother, both civil and military, and the number two person in Yue's army, so they got up to greet him.

When I came to the door, I saw a middle-aged scholar floating over, he was seven feet tall, white skin, narrow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, plump and handsome, and a wisp of black beard on his chin. Yue Yun hurriedly saluted, "Meet General Zhang." Zhang Xian picked up Yue Yun and said with a smile: "You and I are not in the barracks, no need to be polite, take me to meet the heroes." Yue Yun said: "Yes." He first led Zhang Xian to see Luo Tianchu and said: "This is Luo Tianchu, and he is also the commander of the monk Yuan, and he repelled the Jin soldiers only because of his proper command." ”

Zhang Xian saw the defeated Jin army all the way, and thought that it was Wu Jie, who commanded the battle, but he didn't expect that the commander was someone else, and he was so young, he didn't know the rank of the other party, and when he was about to ask, Yue Yun hurriedly added: "Brother Luo is not my official of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is now white." Zhang Xian showed a look of surprise, and bowed to the end quietly: "The last general, Zhang Xian, meet the commander." Luo Tianchu hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, General Zhang please hurry up." Being supported by him, Zhang Xian immediately sensed the strong internal force in his body, and thought to himself that he was not as good as it, thinking that he was extraordinary. Then Yue Yun introduced Wu Jie, Zhang Xian heard the name for a long time, and he was about to kneel down and salute according to the military salute, Wu Jie helped him up and said: "General Zhang doesn't need to be polite." Then Yue Yun introduced Gongsun Mingyue, Lu Fei, Zhao Hengshan, Gu Yao, Zhu Yushi and others one by one. Zhang Xian was extremely smart, and then he understood that most of the monks and the original guards were people in the rivers and lakes, and they must have come to fight the enemy spontaneously, and Wu Jie couldn't be the commander of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, so he also obeyed orders under the tent. Zhang Xian and everyone greeted each other one by one, respectful and polite, and won the favor of the heroes.

Everyone returned to the hall and sat down, Zhang Xian and Yue Yun sat together, they all had the same martial manners, their waists were straight, their palms were close to their knees, their eyes were not squinting, and their bearing was heartbreaking. Zhang Xian first asked about the previous victory, and Wu Jie said: "Everyone here is from the Blood Sword Fort, and the soldiers defending the city are all soldiers in the fort. After the defeat of Fuping, the monk had no troops to resist the Jin soldiers, thanks to the heroes of the Blood Sword Fort who came to help. Then he told how Luo Tianchu defeated Yan Lou's room in Shencha Village, and how he repelled Yan Wushu today. Zhang Xian showed surprise many times, kept looking at Luo Tianchu, and praised him repeatedly. Yue Yun added: "The little nephew is a hero who met in Yanjing, and when he learned that they were coming to Shangyuan to defend against the Jin soldiers, he came together. Wanyan Zongwang was killed by the lord of the castle, and he also rescued Emperor Roufu. Zhang Xian exclaimed: "Really, where is the emperor now?" Zhao Huanhuan, who was at the same table, smiled and said: "The palace is here." Zhang Xian hurriedly got up, walked quickly to her, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The last general doesn't know that the emperor is here, and he hopes to surrender if he is rude." Zhao Huanhuan clasped her hands and said, "The general is serious, please take a seat." Zhang Xian said: "The emperor is here, and the last general dares to sit again." Zhao Huanhuan smiled and said: "If you don't sit, why don't you let the table full of heroes stand with you, and this palace will forgive you for your innocence." Zhang Xian sat down again tremblingly.

Wu Jie saluted him three glasses of wine before he began to ask him why. Zhang Xian said: "Yue Yun went out to practice for half a year and didn't come back, so I went to Yanjing to look for him, and it took a lot of effort to find out where he was, so I chased him here." It was a big deal that I came to him. Everyone asked, "What's the matter?" Zhang Xian looked around for a while, but did not answer. Wu Jie understood, asked the idle people in the hall to retreat to the door, and closed the door. Zhang Xian said: "Brother Yue has been appointed by the imperial court as an envoy on Jinghu North Road and Xiangyang North Road, and was ordered to lead the army on the Northern Expedition. Yue Yun is one of the main generals of the Beiwei Army, and he must accompany the army to fight. ”

When the heroes heard that Yue Fei was going to lead the army on the Northern Expedition, they all applauded excitedly, and Zhao Hengshan slapped the table and said: "His grandmother's, the Jin State and the Qi State are too bullying, they should have fought back a long time ago, if it weren't for the current enemy, the Sprinkle family would go on the Northern Expedition with you." The group smiled. Wu Jiedao: "I have long seen that Pengju is an extraordinary person, and sooner or later he will build miraculous feats. Zhang Xian said: "Xie Wu Jingluo Ji Yan, we will go all out until we die." Wu Jie said: "When will you go back?" Zhang Xian said: "Hurry up or not late, we'll leave now." ”

Everyone knows that the military situation is urgent, and there is no delay for half a minute, so they will no longer be retained. Wu Jiedao: "I have prepared four fast horses for you, and you can rush back to Ezhou overnight." Zhang Xian said: "Thank you." Yue Yun said: "I want to help you repel the Yan Wushu in the next place, but now I really don't want to go." Wu Jie said with a smile: "Your war on the Eastern Front can greatly relieve the pressure on our Western Front, which has already helped a lot." We will see you again in the future. Zhao Huanhuan said: "This palace salutes the two generals with a cup, I wish you a great victory in the Northern Expedition, and play the momentum of our great Song children." Zhang Xian and Yue Yun knelt on the ground movingly, took the wine glass and said excitedly: "The last general will live up to the expectations of the emperor, and if he does not succeed, he will become benevolent!"

The group of heroes sent the two out of the east gate, although they and Yue Yun saw each other for a short time, but it was already a fateful friendship, and they were quite reluctant to leave when they parted, and after taking care of each other, Yue Yun flew on the horse and left with Zhang Xian. It wasn't until their figures completely disappeared that the group returned to Monk Yuan, discussing Yue Fei's Northern Expedition all the way. You must know that the Song Dynasty has been in a situation of passive beating for many years, and has never fought back decently, if Yue Fei's Northern Expedition is successful, it will inevitably create a new situation.
