The main force of the Jin soldiers was mostly cavalry. Even the Bohai people and Khitan people had horses. Only the Song soldiers who were auxiliary soldiers and the captured Min Zhuang were abandoned on the battlefield by the Jin soldiers.

After a whole day of hard fighting, the Song army finally repelled the ambushed enemy. Hu Yangeng ordered that after cleaning the battlefield, the troops approached the front army and camped on the spot.

In this battle, not counting the captured Song soldiers, there were more than 2,000 corpses left on the battlefield by the Jin soldiers. The Jin soldiers in Hedong were greatly damaged.

Shi Jin led Wang Jin's horse and slowly walked off the battlefield. Wang Jin was hit by three arrows and one sword, and relied on his superb martial arts to fight hundreds of Jin soldiers. After the Jin soldiers retreated, Wang Jin, who was over 60 years old, could no longer hold on. He ran out of oil and died, and fell on the horse. That night, Wang Jin, who had been unconscious, finally opened his eyes and had a hint of blush on his face.

When others were crying with joy and before they could speak, Chen Da had already leaned in front of Wang Jin, with tears on his face and screamed in surprise: "Commander, you have finally woken up. Does the Commander know? I'm so scared that I'm so heartless. What should we do if we don't wake up again?"

Wang Jin, who had just woken up, couldn't help but frown when he saw Chen Da's tears and snot dripping on his face.

Seeing Wang Jin frowning at Chen Da, Shi Jin moved his lips and did not make a sound, he hurried forward and pushed Chen Da away. Although Chen Da was very dissatisfied, he looked around. Except for Yang Chun, the others looked at him as if they were looking at a poisonous snake, so he had to walk aside embarrassedly.

Shi Jin's eyes were filled with tears and choked and said, "Master... is it better? What do you have to say?"

Wang Jin's turbid eyes finally became enlightened. He saw clearly that Shi Jin was standing anxiously beside him. His rapid breathing became slightly even, and his shaking chest began to calm down.

Wang Jin moved his hand, and Zhu Wu hurriedly bent down and placed his hand on the side of the kang where Wang Jin could. Wang Jin placed his hand on the back of Zhu Wu's hand and gently stroked it.

Shi Jin remembered that he had learned art from Wang Jin before, and the past came to his heart. He couldn't help but unable to control his feelings. Big tears rolled down and shouted from the bottom of his heart: "Master..."

The north wind was howling outside, and the wind blew harder and heavier. The cotton curtain was lifted up by the wind, and a few snowflakes floated in from outside, and it was snowing again.

Wang Jin spit out a few words in difficulty: "...the army...how is the army now?"

Zhu Wudao: "The Tartars have retreated, and they listen to the feedback from the whistle detectives. The Tartars under the city of Longde have also withdrawn. Please rest assured."

When Wang Jin heard that Lund had rescued the situation, he closed his eyes with relief. After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Shi Jin: "That's good... I have to fight the Tartars..." He said something more anxious. Wang Jin coughed in difficulty and vomited bloody phlegm in pain.

The officers around him said in unison: "Please rest assured! Brothers must fight the Tartars to the end and will never be cowards!"

Wang Jin nodded slightly, barely opened his eyes, grabbed Shi Jin's hand, and sighed. "Oh... it's a pity that I can't do it anymore... I can't lead you to kill the Tartars together."

"Master, you will definitely get better!"

Wang Jin looked at Shi Jin, smiled bitterly, and said softly: "It's just that you have only learned 50% of this Heshuo gun..."

Shi Jin was eager to say something, but Wang Jin stopped him and rushed to say, "You can lead this commander, and Heshuo's big gun must be passed on. Go to Duzhong and find a coach named Lin Chong to let him pass on you."

Shi Jin nodded with a swallow.

"Okay." Wang Jin closed his eyes tiredly and never opened them again.

The Jin soldiers besieged by Longde Mansion had already withdrawn, and Hu Yangeng successfully advanced to Longde Mansion. He asked the army to station outside the city and entered the city by himself to meet Zhang Que and Wang Bing.

On the way to the government office, Hu Yangeng saw that the city was in a mess, and many houses along the way were demolished. It was supposed to be used to defend the city. On a ruin of the house, the children were playing carefreely. A child held up a branch and shouted, "I am the general of the king, are the Tartars here to die? Thunderstones rolled the wood and smashed it for me." The children divided into two groups fought with blocks of soil.

Hu Yangeng came to the front of the government office. There was a porridge shed not far from the entrance of the government office. A master and three yamen runners were preparing porridge. Although there were many people who were picking up porridge, they were in order. I thought I had been serving porridge for many days.

Hu Yangeng entered the government office and went straight to the lobby. Zhang Que, the appeaser of Hedong Road, and Wang Bing, the chief supervisor of Shengjie Army, sat upright in the hall. Hu Yangeng pushed the Jinshan Mountain to bow down to the jade pillar, and met his father-in-law and Enshuai.

Zhang Que asked Hu Yangeng to sit down and detailed the situation of fighting with the Jin soldiers in the past month. After listening to Hu Yangeng's speech, Wang Bing asked: "Can you report the results of the battle?" The visiting envoy refers to the Xihe visiting envoy Zhang Hao, who is also the commander of the Shaanxi soldiers who rescued Taiyuan. In theory, he has the power to dispatch troops throughout Shaanxi.

Hu Yangeng said: "I have reported to Zhang Jiecha to know, please come to Longde as soon as possible."

Wang Bing pondered for a while and said to Zhang Que: "Wanyan Yinshu, this thief has withdrawn from Taiyuan. According to Shukang, the Tartars suffered heavy losses at the foot of Fajiu Mountain, and they were beheaded for 2,000 levels. In addition, those who were injured, the Tartars were afraid of losing tens of thousands."

Zhang Quexi said: "Nianhan's thief went east to the capital. In Hedong, Yinshu, a lonely army was hit hard again. Why would we take the opportunity to counterattack Taiyuan?"

Wang Bing said: "Longde Mansion has just rescued the siege. All the soldiers have made contributions. It is better to go to the camp to work hard tomorrow, comfort it, and then make a decision." Wang Bing's meaning was to let Zhang Que first understand the situation of Hu Yangeng's subordinates.

Zhang Que said: "Why wait until tomorrow? Come and send orders to find some copper coins in the treasury. Our mansion will go to work hard in the afternoon."

Longde Mansion is the place where Li Gang supervises the battle and also a place where food, grass and military supplies are transported. Although the food, grass and equipment were occasionally lost when the city was besieged, there was no shortage of copper coins.

Soon, Zhang Que transferred out five thousand coins from the treasury to use them as a labor force. Zhang Que and Wang Bing went to Hu Yangeng's camp for a walk, and returned to the city with a sense of worry. While Hu Yangeng was away, Zhang Que secretly asked Wang Bing: "How can such a military man be comparable to Xiaozhong Jiedu's command and how can he fight back Wanyan Yinshuke?"

What Zhang Que saw in the camp that although the military soldiers were not as strong as low morale, they were lucky enough to repel Wanyan Yinshu and had no intention of fighting. If they drove such military soldiers to the city of Taiyuan and forced the moat to attack the city, they would have to mutiny.

Wang Bing advised: "The Tartars went east to besiege the capital. The urgent task is to go to the king. The thief in Taiyuan will let him breathe for a few days." Wang Bing is a veteran general in the army. He knew what the situation was about the Song army and had already made up his mind to not attack Taiyuan, but to take the main force to the capital to serve the king.

Seeing that Zhang Que had accepted his ideas, Wang Bing struck while the iron was hot and explained his strategy. After roughly agreeing with Zhang Que, Wang Bing called Hu Yangeng and said, "Take us and Zhang Fangcha together, and I will take you to help the capital in the east and serve the king."

Hu Yangeng said: "The last general obeys the order. The last general has something to report to comfort him, and the last general."

"Just say it."

"At the end, the general arranged a man named Zhang Heng to collect ships at the Yuanqu Ferry. He was originally recruited by the great thief in Jiangyang and was the best at managing the ships. The army took the boat to the east, and he could rush ahead of the thief Nianhan and reach the capital."

"Okay, you can arrange it."

When Zhang Hao received the news, he quickly rushed to Longde from Qichejian. Wang Bing and Zhang Xiaochun were friends in distress. When Zhang Hao met Wang Bing, he held the courtesy of his son and nephew. Wang Bing's arrangements were all agreed.

So the three senior officials from Hedong took tasks. Wang Bing led 30,000 elite troops to the east to serve the king. Zhang Hao took the guards back to Shaanxi, sorted out the remaining troops of the Western Army, and prepared to help the east again. Zhang Que led about 10,000 people to stay in Longde.

On November 30, Wang Bing and Hu Yangeng arrived in Yuanqu with six elite soldiers. The Song Bing family also met here. Wang Bing ordered the entire army to rest for three days before taking the boat to get off. Hu Yangeng finally saw his wife Zhang Chan and maid Daijuan.

Five days later, on the boat, Wang Bing said to Hu Yangeng: "Is there any new news in Hebei?"

"Jingsen, the last news I got was that Zhending was besieged. At that time, I had already divided my troops and asked Qiu Muling Zhonglian to lead the 500 horse army and the 500 infantry army to Hebei for reinforcements."

Wang Bing thought about it for a while before he remembered who the retainer was following Hu Yangeng. Then he said, "I don't know what the situation in Hebei is."

"After two more days of sailing, we will arrive at the Mengjin Ferry. The north bank of Mengjin is Heyang, which belongs to Hebei East Road. The south bank is Mengjin, which belongs to Jingxi North Road. When we arrived in Mengjin, we could go ashore to inquire, and we could also divide a light army and go directly to the Dumen by land."

At the same time, the army of Hebei West Road, Heyang Prefecture, and Nianhan were stationed here. On the other side, Li Hui, the head of the Song State Tongzhi Privy Council, and Zhe Yanzhi, led a 120,000 army to defend the river.

Nianhan's general's mansion was located in the Mengzhou Yamen. He sat upright in the seat of the prefect, Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Loushi sat on both sides, and Wanyan Huo Nu and other generals stood at the steps. At the bottom, there were surrendered ministers Gao Shiyou (formerly Zezhou Magistrate) and Zhang Yaozuo (formerly Zhiweishengjun). Outside the door of the lobby, a burly man with eight feet tall blocked the door with a group of surrendered yamen runners to prevent any ignorant unruly people from disturbing the old man of the Jin Kingdom.

Nianhan asked: "Can the flag on the south bank of the Great River be clearly identifiable?"

Wanyan Huo's woman replied: "The one who fought on the other side was the banner of Li Hui and Zhe Yanzhi."

"Zhe Yanzhi?" Wanyan Loushi laughed, "He has no ability. We will take Huaizhou, the governor of Huaizhou, Huo Anguo, and the man fled in the city. The great Jin soldiers attacked Huaizhou, and the ceremonial equipment of this man was still in the city."

Wanyan Huo's girl was happy to hear it: "Let me take three thousand children across the river to get Zhe Yanzhi's head."

Wanyan Xiyin said: "Don't worry, look at the dense joint camps on the other side. There should be 100,000 soldiers, and living girls should not be moved lightly."

Wanyan Loushi said: "Although there are many soldiers in Song Dynasty, it is not worth fearing. If you fight with them, the outcome is unknown. It is better to add a false voice and take all the war drums and beat them in the army to see the changes."

Nianhan's eldest son Yin Zhu Bojin shouted: "Dad, let the child cross the river and investigate."

Wanyan Huo Nu and Yin Zhu were so clamoring that the generals below were ready to move and wanted to lead the headquarters to cross the river first.
