The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Zhe Hanmei looked at Zhao Tong, her bright eyes shining with joy. She walked into the tent and saluted, "See His Highness King Qin."

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "Hanmei, what are you doing? There was no such red tape in the past, and there was no courtesy between you and me."

Zhe Hanmei smiled and said, "Your Highness, once upon a time... the daughter of the common people has not seen Your Highness for nearly ten years."

Zhao Tong reached out and touched his chin. It was almost ten years...how could it take so long?

"Has it been so long? I always thought it was just a matter of time. Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon fly by."

Zhe Hanmei looked at him with bright eyes: "Your Highness is planning big things. Naturally, he feels that time flies so fast and that time has no trace and is not enough. It is like a common girl who can truly experience the leisure time."

Zhao Tong laughed loudly, walked forward, and looked Zhe Hanmei up and down: "Why is this such a big deal? It's just a game in the world."

The corner of Zhe Hanmei's mouth curled up slightly: "Destroying Xixia, pacifying the Uighurs, and conquering the Kara Khan in the west, aren't they big enough?"

Zhao Tong shook his head, looking slightly melancholy, and sighed softly: "I just never thought that time would be so hasty, like a fleeting moment. If you think about it, life is short."

Zhe Hanmei was speechless after hearing this and looked at him with bright eyes.

Zhao Tong smiled again and suddenly reached out to grab Zhe Hanmei's delicate hand: "Come over here."

Zhe Hanmei struggled to free herself twice, so she stopped trying and was pulled by Zhao Tong to sit on the chair next to her.

Zhao Tong let go of his hand, as if he wanted to talk about something else, but after thinking about it, he started to talk about the business: "You won't be the only one to lead the troops, right?"

Zhe Hanmei hid her hands between her leg armor, and then said: "My father was originally coming, but he was injured by an arrow when he returned north, and it has not healed, so I asked Zhiwu Zhigang to come with me."

Zhe Yanzhi has two sons and one daughter, Zhe Zhichang, Zhe Zhiwu, and Zhe Hanmei. Zhe Zhigang is Zhe Yanzhi's son, but in fact he is not much different from his own son, and their bloodline is very close, just like Yao Pingzhong and Yao Gu.

Zhao Tong didn't expect the two children to come, and he was a little puzzled: "Is there no adult in the Zhe family? What is Zhe Keqiu doing?"

Zhe Keqiu is now the head of the Zhe family. After Zhe Kexing's death, the position of head of the family and the position of governor of the prefecture were passed on to Zhe Keda. However, Zhe Keqiu died of a serious illness and took office, and then it was passed to Zhe Keqiu.

Zhe Hanmei said: "Your Highness, you said Grandpa Six? He was leading troops to attack the east road. When they encountered Jurchen obstruction, Erlang Sanlang and I led the troops south and came to Gyeonggi from this side."

Zhe Keqiu is the second son of Zhe Kexing and the elder brother of Zhe Keqiu.

Zhe Yanzhi's father is Zhe Keshi, who is known as a real general, and Zhe Keshi's father is Zhe Kejun.

Zhe Keshi and Zhe Keqiu are the same generation, and Zhe Keqiu ranks sixth in the clan, so Zhe Hanmei calls him Grandfather Six.

Zhao Tong nodded. At least Zhe Keqiu was still loyal at this moment. In fact, if Jurchen had not captured Zhe Yanwen and others, his loyalty would probably remain unchanged until his death.

"Where are they two now?"

Zhe Hanmei's pretty face blushed slightly when she heard this: "They, they are pacifying the army outside and asked me to come and pay homage to His Highness first."

Zhao Tong blinked. He didn't recognize these two people. He only knew Zhe Zhichang: "Why is Ziming coming?"

Zhe Hanmei said: "My eldest brother is good at writing but has no strategy, so my father has repeatedly considered not calling him here."

Zhao Tong thought for a while and realized that Zhe Zhichang was indeed the case. Zhe Yanzhi was a versatile scholar in both civil and military affairs. Although he was a general, he was a Jinshi. However, Zhe Zhichang only inherited Zhe Yanzhi's literary talents and had no military skills at all.

In normal historical development, during the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhe Zhichang served as a local official for several times. He was remarkable in literary and political affairs, but lackluster in martial arts. When dealing with the rebellion of the five tribes in Lizhou, he was in a hurry, performed poorly, and even acted clumsily, and was impeached by the court officials.

At that time, Emperor Xiaozong protected him and could not bear to convict him. However, the fighting in the court was fierce, and in the end he had no choice but to be demoted by two levels and sent to Tingzhou.

However, Zhe Zhichang did not care that his official position became smaller and smaller. He only interacted with celebrities in poetry and literature such as Zhang Shi, Chen Fuliang, Zhao Fan and others. He also interacted with Yue Lin and the Neo-Confucian teacher who upheld the principles of nature and destroyed human desires.

However, Zhe Zhichang had three times asked for the epitaph inscription for his father Zhe Yan, who was a Neo-Confucian teacher who kept Tianli and destroyed human desires. However, Zhe Zhichang was "named guilty" for the crime of being in Lizhou, "so that he could be exempted from impunity." "The sins and numerous grievances" were declined.

Zhao Tong said: "It's okay for Ziming to be at home, but he is not good at fighting. It is better to write and draw. But I miss him deeply. After the incident in Tokyo calms down, I will come over to have a drink and talk."

Hearing this, Zhe Hanmei showed a hint of worry: "Your Highness, the Jurchen generals are brave and strong, and they do not attack randomly. There are always military laws to follow. The Western Army was invincible in the Yan region and was defeated all the way. Now the Yellow River is no longer safe. Your Highness... …”

Zhao Tong smiled slightly: "There's nothing to be afraid of."

Zhe Hanmei lowered her head and said: "The Jin army has heavy armor, named Iron Buddha. Although it is not in the east of the river at the moment, it must have arrived in the capital. The capital is all plains, which is where the heavy armor shows its power. Your Highness can Is there any countermeasure?"

Zhao Tong thought for a while: "I was about to ask you about this. Is there anyone in the army who has returned from Yandi and seen the Iron Buddha Temple?"

Zhe Hanmei raised her head and said: "Zhiwu Zhigangdu went to Yandi in the old year. He was defeated in the early stage and lost the city and was killed all the way back."

Zhao Tong smiled, last year when the Song, Jin and Liao Dynasties came together, everything seemed safe, so every family sent their children there to gain military glory. Among them, the top family had the most children, probably dozens of them.

"Some of the soldiers we brought this time have escaped from Yan. There should be more than a hundred cavalrymen for two thousand miles."

Zhao Tong nodded, that was enough. If only one or two saw it, it would be difficult to get detailed information. Since so many people had seen the appearance of Tiefu Tu, they could make a plan directly.

He said: "Call Erlang and Sanlang to discuss it. I'm afraid I've been tired all the way and haven't eaten or drank yet. It's just the right time to treat you to a banquet and help the army."

After that, he called Shi Jin and asked him to call brothers Zhe Zhiwu and Zhe Zhigang. He also ordered Xu Ning to arrange a banquet to reward the army.

It was not convenient to eat here. Zhao Tong took Zhe Hanmei out of the tent, joined the two brothers, and returned to Wei County...

Let's say that Lu Da and Li Kui each led five thousand troops and went straight to Zhuxian Town.

The other three were okay and had long experience in leading troops, but Li Kui was the only one who knew nothing about leading an army in a war.

But even though he wouldn't, he didn't feel guilty at all. There was nothing in the world that he was afraid of.

When he was in Liangshan, his brother Gongming never asked him to lead troops, but instead protected him from his left and right sides.

He had never led a field tiger hunter in the north. After a long time, it was just to see other people's majesty, which inevitably made him feel a little itchy. At this time, sitting on the horse, Li Kui's dark face was filled with joy and shine, and he secretly murmured, "The Second King" People are quite weird.

The three Rudas naturally ignored this bully and led their troops away. Li Kui glanced at the rear, wanting to imitate what the other generals said before setting off, but he didn't know any words, and he wasn't one who could use his brain. After waiting for a long time, he shouted: "Kill the enemy with me. After killing, eat meat and drink wine. Keep it safe and have good food and drink."

The cavalrymen behind them looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. Although the word was too speechless, good food and good drinks were also affordable, and it was more thought-provoking than empty slogans. After a few breaths, they immediately shouted "We must win".

Li Kui immediately felt happy, feeling that he also had the power of a general. In the past, his brother Gongming underestimated him, so he did not lead the army. The second king was strange at knowing people.

He waved his ax forward and shouted: "Charge." After sitting down, the big black horse immediately sprang out, followed by the cavalry heading north.

Zhao Tong told the four of them that if there were no heavy cavalry in Zhuxian Town, they would kill them. If there were heavy cavalry, they would withdraw. If the Jurchen soldiers did not arrive, they would ambush them in twos and twos, and then sneak attack and flank them. But no one was willing to cooperate with Li Kui, not to mention that if the Jurchen soldiers arrived first, there would be no sneak attack, so they would all leave first.

Li Kui couldn't understand the twists and turns, and thought the three of them were eager to grab the credit, so he chased after them.

Luda ran at the front and stopped about twenty miles away from Zhuxian Town, waiting for the scouts to come back to report. Li Kui caught up and asked for unknown reasons, "Why have they stopped?"

Ruda said: "The horse has not returned from the exploration."

"Oh!" Li Kui responded. He knew the purpose of exploring the horse, but he was impatient and had to keep going.

Qin Ming shouted from behind: "Where are Tieniu going?"

Li Kui said: "I don't need to explore the horse, I will go directly to the golden dog to fight!"

Suo Chao said: "What's wrong with this? If you go directly, what's the point of exploring the horse? Come back quickly."

Li Kui said: "I am also a pioneer. If I don't obey your orders, don't try to take the credit from me."

Suo Chao was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at Luda: "General Lu, what should we do?"

Luda frowned, took a deep breath, and said after a long time: "If this reckless bull is willing to be a vanguard, let him go. The three of us will be the soldiers."

Qin Ming looked puzzled: "How to become a soldier?"

Luda said: "What else can he do besides being the back-up supporter?"

Qin Ming: "..."

Suo Chao: "If the Jin Army came to Iron Buddha Temple, wouldn't they be trapped there?"

Ruda shook his head: "If he was so stupid that he wouldn't run away when he saw the heavy cavalry, the prince would not ask him to lead the troops."

Qin Ming thought about it: "That's true, but this reckless bull has never led a man or horse before, how can he know how to fight?"

Lu Da was puzzled: "From Liangshan to Tian Hu, wasn't he always in the army? Why didn't he even lead soldiers?"

Suo Chao said: "Mang Niu has always been a close protector of brother Gongming, not a general."

Ruda's thick eyebrows moved when he heard this, but he said nothing. At this moment, he saw a small group of scouts in the distance rushing back.

When he got closer, Qin Ming asked loudly: "How did the detection go?"

One of the scouts was out of breath and replied: "Back, back to the general, Zhuxian Town has become an empty town, and all the people have fled long ago."

"Where is Jin Bing?" Suo Chao also asked.

Another scout said: "I didn't see the Jin soldiers when I left, but when I came back I heard the sound of horse hooves, so I left someone to investigate and report again. I'll deliver the message first."

Qin Ming yelled, "Isn't it good to bump into the wild cow when he goes there?"

Luda took a deep breath: "You should not go too fast when you are following, otherwise if there is a heavy cavalry, they will be scattered with one charge."

The two nodded and immediately prepared their troops and horses and rushed north.

Li Kui had already reached the front half of the way. He looked back and saw that no one was following him. He suddenly felt confused. Could it be that he didn't even want gong?
Although he didn't use his brain when encountering problems and only acted randomly based on his temper, but seeing no one competing with him at this moment, he suddenly felt bored.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a few scouts in front of me rushing back as hard as I could. I immediately stopped them and asked, "Where are you going in a hurry?"

Although the scout was under Lu Da's command, he recognized General Li and said hurriedly: "General, the Jin soldiers have just arrived and occupied Zhuxian Town, and they are patrolling everywhere!"

Li Kui was stunned: "It's really here!"

The scout didn't understand what he meant: "They are indeed here, and there are quite a few people there. A rough estimate puts it at tens of thousands."

Li Kui couldn't help showing a look of joy, and was about to drive forward, but as soon as the big black horse took out its hoofs, he was restrained by him. He stretched out a hand to gesture and said: "What do you see... soldiers with iron armor and iron horses?" ?”

Iron-armored horse? The scout was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said, "The general is talking about heavy armored cavalry, right? I didn't see it, but we came back in a hurry. Although there are none in the town, it's hard to tell if they are following behind."

"It's fine if I don't have it, it's fine if I don't have it, then I'm really scared of a bird!" Li Kui muttered and looked at the ax in his hand. The whole body was covered with iron but it couldn't be hit. You could tell by looking at this ax that it would definitely hit him head-on. The head is broken and bleeding. The stronger the strength, the more blood will flow. This ax is made of iron, and there will be no marks on it from the flesh.

He immediately ordered the whole army to follow him, then with all his strength, he shouted: "Follow me to kill the golden dog, and have a drink at the other end of Zhuxian Town!"

The cavalry behind them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that there was no heavy armor. They followed Zhao Tao to win the battle and developed a fearless temper. When they found out that there was no heavy cavalry, they immediately rushed forward with a shout of "Ao Ao".

These five thousand cavalrymen ran faster and faster, advancing happily on the plains. Finally, they gained inertia and crashed into Zhuxian Town without stopping. Even the scouts sent by Zhuxian Town had no time to escape and were driven crazy by this. The cavalrymen were also overwhelmed and were not even arrested for interrogation.

At this time, a total of 20,000 gold troops entered Zhuxian Town, all of which were cavalry. They were led by Wan Yanchang, the deputy commander of the East Route Army. Wan Yanchang, also known as Ta Lan, was from the Jurchen clan. One of the famous generals.

Originally, after Wanyan Zongbi received the news from Wei County, he asked him to bring the Tiefutu to destroy it. However, Wanyanchang considered that the city of Tokyo was large, and although the siege was not strict, if there was no Tiefutu to suppress it, once the siege was broken out in the city, there was no doubt that it would be He asked Emperor Song to escape, so he refused.

After thinking about it, Wanyan Zongbi also felt that it was inappropriate to send Tiefu Tu over and make a fuss out of a molehill. Although the news said that there were many Song troops supporting Tokyo, they were nothing more than fans under the iron heel of the Jurchens.

The Jurchens were less than ten thousand and they were invincible. He sent Wanyanchang 20,000 cavalry. Even if the 20,000 Jurchen cavalry were facing 200,000 or 300,000 people, they could easily defeat them!
Wanyanchang had just dismounted from his horse to rest in Zhuxian Town. The scouts had already been sent out in different orders, but there was no need to wait to return to deliver the message. A quarter of an hour later, he led the army to rush south and directly destroyed the reinforcements. Tokyo team.

At this moment, the last scout sent suddenly returned. Wanyanchang couldn't help but wonder: "Why did you come back so soon?"

The scout said: "Deputy Commander, the Song Army's cavalry is coming!"

"Huh?" Wan Yanchang raised his eyebrows: "How many people are there?"

"Less than ten thousand!"

"Less than ten thousand?" Wan Yanchang frowned, and there was a hint of coldness on the corner of his mouth: "Didn't the battle between Yandi and Hebei teach them to have a long memory?"

He got on his horse and ignored the scouts. The Chinese army quickly gathered around him and headed towards the outside of the town. The Jurchen soldiers outside had already assumed a posture of preparing for war.

Wanyanchang rode his horse to the high ground and looked into the distance. He was about to order the whole army to attack, but suddenly he showed a look of surprise. In the distance, he saw dust flying, people shouting and horses neighing, and a group of cavalry as if they were crazy. , rushing towards Zhuxian Town...
