After Qu Yitu was captured, the Qi army quickly fell to Sanzhai, and more than 20,000 people surrendered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Luo Tianchu saw Niu Gao in Zhongzhai, and stepped forward and said: "Hello Brother Niu, I offended a lot last time, please bear with me." Niu Gao was dusty, his eyes were bloodshot because he had not slept for many days, but he showed a sunny smile on his face, and said: "If you don't fight, you don't know each other, my injury has healed early, the castle lord doesn't have to care, this time thanks to the castle lord to relieve the siege, otherwise we will run out of food and grass, and we can only withdraw from the army and ask for guilt." Luo Tianchuqi said: "Is your army's grain and grass insufficient?" Niu Gao knew that he had to whisper: "This is a secret, please don't divulge it, Qin Hui allocated enough grain and grass for my army for a month, and Yue Shuai gave me only ten days, I originally planned to buy grain from the rice merchants in the city after the capture of Ruzhou, but I was blocked in the valley and was in a dilemma." Luo Tianchu said: "How was the harvest of the Great Song Dynasty last year, how could it only allocate one month's grain?" Niu Gao said disdainfully: "The harvest is not bad, but Qin Hui is the head of the Lord and faction, and attacking Jin Qi and his political views is against him, of course, he has to make a hindrance from it." Luo Tianchu said: "As long as we can collect grain and grass on our own, we are not afraid that Qin Hui will make it bad, and without further ado, I will help you attack Ruzhou." ”

Niu Gao said: "Qu Yitu was captured, Ruzhou is not enough to fear, but there are rumors that Jin Wushu gathered an army of 300,000 troops to garrison Bianliang, and there is a great intention to attack Yuncheng, Yue Shuai divided his troops into three ways, and now Yuncheng soldiers are outnumbered, if the rumors are true, then Yuncheng is in danger, and please ask the castle lord to go to the rescue." Luo Tianchu exclaimed: "300,000! Is there still so many soldiers and horses in the Jin Kingdom?" Niu Gao said: "The Jin Kingdom has never given up the idea of the southern expedition, and is secretly recruiting troops and horses, 300,000 is just a clear number, and it is unknown how many there are." Luo Tianchu said: "Okay, let's go to Yuncheng." Niu Gao said: "Please." ”

Luo Tianchu led the army without stopping at all, and marched towards Yuncheng. Yuncheng road is far away, traveled for a day and a night to the boundary of Linying, everyone is sleepy and tired, but can not find a water source to drink, the local guide said: "There is a river in front, called Xiaoshang River, the river water is sweet and clear, can be drunk." Luo Tianchu was overjoyed and led the army to the Xiaoshang River, but before he came to the river, he smelled a thick bloody smell, Luo Tianchu asked everyone to be vigilant, but found that the bloody gas came from the water. When I came to the river, I was surprised to see that the whole river was pale red, stained red with blood, and there were scattered armor and weapons deposited in the mud and sand at the bottom of the river, which must have been washed down from the upstream.

Luo Tianchu said: "Not long ago, Xiaoshang River should have experienced a big war, let's take a look upstream." "The army went up the river, and there were more sediments at the bottom of the river along the way, and sometimes a few floating corpses floated by, both the Song and Jin armies, and I don't know who won and who lost. After walking another mile, I finally saw the scene of the battle, and everyone was familiar with the dead after a long time on the battlefield, and they were still amazed at the tragedy of the battle.

There are more than 4,000 corpses of Jin soldiers on the shore and in the river, looking at the waist card, there is one Temu (Wanfu), five Meng'an (Qianfu), thirteen Mouke (centurions), and the dead soldiers are also Jurchen elites, while the corpses of the Yuejia army are only 300, all of them are ordinary soldiers. What shocked me was that there were seven or eight fatal wounds on each corpse of the Song army, three or four arrows were inserted in the body, and when they were dying, they still held their weapons in their hands, and they were entangled with the Jin soldiers, and they died together, which shows how terrible the combat power of the Yue family army is, and even ordinary soldiers have such courage to make the Jin army pay such a heavy price.

Although they didn't witness the battle, everyone was moved by the heroism of the Yue family's army until death, Li Xiao suddenly pointed to the pile of corpses in the middle of the river and shouted, "Look at it. The people looked carefully in the direction, and found a dead horse in the corpse of the golden soldiers, and the dead horse was kneeling in the river with four hooves, covered by the corpse, and on top of the dead horse sat a dead man, who was bent down and hung his head, lifeless, and the spear stained with blood in his hand was stuck like river mud, and he had supported his body until now. The man's front and back had been honeycombed by countless arrows, and his armor and robe were stained with blood.

Everyone had never seen so many arrows shot at a person, which showed how afraid Jin Jun was of him, and he didn't dare to touch his corpse until he died. Luo Tianchu saw the tiger-headed silver spear in the man's hand, his heart trembled, and he jumped off the horse and shouted at the back of the corpse: "Brother Yang!" It turned out that the general who died in battle was Yang Zaixing. Thinking of drinking and talking with him not long ago, his hearty laughter still lingers in his ears, and he also remembered that when the generals of the Yue family army were not kind to him, only Yang Zaixing stood up and called him a brother, and a living good man is now a cold corpse, how can he not let Luo Tianchu beat his chest. Everyone admired Yang Zaixing's bravery, and together they went down to the river to carry his body to the shore, and the arrows pulled out were a large bundle, wrapped the body in a shroud, and put it on the black lightning, Luo Tianchu said: "Brother Yang, I'll take you back." "Personally led the horse on foot, crossed the river and marched towards Yuncheng.

At night, twenty miles from Yuncheng, the spies came back and reported that there were six Jin army villages ahead, heavily defended, with 100,000 people. Luo Tianchu did not dare to rush into the city, bypassed it far away, and went around to the south gate of Yuncheng in the early morning. The soldiers of the Yue family army in the city did not dare to open the door at first, and it was not until Yue Yun appeared that he recognized Luo Tianchu, and then put down the drawbridge to let the army enter the city.

Yue Fei's marshal mansion was set up on the city tower, and when the generals of the Yue family saw Yang Zaixing's corpse, they were all silent, no one howled and cried, but their eyes shot unforgettable anger. Yue Fei sighed: "The night before yesterday, General Yang was patrolling the Xiaoshang River, and when he returned to the city, he ran into the Jin army that came to sneak attack. When the Jin soldiers came suddenly, General Yang was afraid that we were unprepared, so he sent a soldier back to report the news, and he led the patrol to block the enemy and buy us time. When we learned the news, we hurriedly transferred back the two battalions of soldiers stationed outside the city to build fortifications, and the 5,000 soldiers were saved from a surprise attack, but we will never see General Yang again!" Everyone present wept. Yue Fei took out two arrows from the bundle of arrows and held them tightly in his hand, and said: "General Yang is brave and good at fighting, if it weren't for the mud trapped in the river, and he would be killed by the Jin soldiers, the Jin soldiers were afraid of Brother Yang, even if they were trapped in the river, they didn't dare to step forward, and they actually shot him alive, we each took two arrows, shot them to death the enemy, and avenged Brother Yang!" Everyone applauded and took turns to get the arrows. Then some soldiers carried Yang Zaixing's body away and set up a mourning hall, and Yue Fei and others began to discuss in the handsome hall.
