All the generals of the Jin camp were yelling to cross the river. Wanyan Nianhan said, "The living girl obeyed the order and took her troops to the river bank to beat the drum and shout for killing. If the Song army went out of the camp to guard the river, she would stop the drum. When the Song army returned to the camp, she would beat the drum again. Only when the Chen Dynasty could return to the camp to rest."

Nianhan ordered his son again: "Yinzhu obeys the order, and let you and others take their headquarters to find shallow waters and cross the river to investigate the news. Be careful and cautious. If you underestimate the enemy, you will be fine if you lose your good boy. You will not be spared."

Yin Zhu was overjoyed, and his mind changed, and thought of something: "Please give a local surrender to a guide."

Nianhan was pondering, and heard the descendant of the hall, Zhang Yaozuo, shouting: "The criminal Zhang Yaozuo, recommended two people to the Prime Minister and Marshal."

After asking carefully, Nianhan found that Zhang Yaozuo was served here by two cousins ​​from the remote branch, one was Zhang He'an, the military commander of the Heyang Prefecture, and the other was Zhang Heding, the military commander of the Baojia in Mengzhou Township. He was called Zhang Dujian and Zhang Tuanlian in daily life.

Nian Hanxi said: "Where are you two brothers now? Why not only did you come to vote early?"

Zhang Yaozuo said: "These two brothers were officials in Heyang for a long time. They knew that the Song court was corrupt and wanted to join the king's army, but they had no way to go. These two people were familiar with the military geography of Heyang, and the Prime Minister and Marshal would know it as soon as they asked."

Nianhan sent someone to call Zhang Dujian and Zhang Tuanlian and ask carefully.

Zhang Dujian said: "The water is seven miles downstream here. In winter, the water is shallow. You can hike across the river. Only a few sips of wine are needed to keep the cold."

Nianhan said: "It's great. You two brothers followed me and the army crossed the river. Zhang He'an was the prefect of Heyang, and Zhang He was the prefect of Mengzhou."

The Zhang brothers were overjoyed and thanked him quickly.

At midnight, Zhe Yanzhi, deputy envoy of the Song army's procuratorial tutor on the south bank, had already fallen asleep. Suddenly, a dense drum sound came from the other side, and there was still a faint sound of people shouting and neighing. Zhe Yanzhi quickly got up and went outside the tent to check. He saw a torch on the other side, illuminating the river bank. Zhe Yanzhi smiled: "How dare you earn me?" He was about to return to the account to go to bed when his personal soldiers came to report: Li Hui of the Privy Council summoned all the generals, but the three drums were not allowed, and the military law was engaged.

Zhe Yanzhi had no choice but to go to the big tent. After entering the central tent, the other generals had arrived. Li Hui had a calm face, and Zhe Yanzhi bent slightly, as if he had bowed to Li Hui. Then he sat down on the deputy seat next to Li Hui without a sound.

"The thief is so noisy on the north bank, I am afraid that he will cross the river at night. Which general is willing to raise the headquarters and attack him halfway through?"

A general generously took the order. Li Hui praised him a few words and sent him there. Afterwards, Li Hui instructed the generals to not remove their armor at night and wait for the battle.

After all the generals retreated, Zhe Yanzhi said, "Supreme, I'm afraid the thief will be cheating."

"Where does the fraud come from?"

"Supremember, think about it. If the thief wants to cross the river at night, he will definitely stop the drums and not let us realize that there is no reason to beat the drums and torches again."

Li replied: "President Zhexuan, military strategy is full of things. If it is weak, it is solid. If it is solid, it is weak. Yan Zhijin thieves were not confused by us with great fanfare, and suddenly crossing the river while I was relaxed? Or be careful."

Zhe Yanzhi persuaded him again. Li replied: "Xiao Zhong Jingluo was too careless and fell into the Jin thief's trick. Zhe Xuanfu, are you better than Xiao Zhong Jingluo?"

In this way, under the supervision of Li Huide, the 120,000 Song troops on the south bank had tossed all night.

The next day, the Song army yawned for the sky.

Li Hui said again: "This is a plan for the Jin thieves to criticize soldiers. If they didn't arrive last night, they will definitely arrive today." Seeing this, Zhe Yanzhi sneered repeatedly and turned back to the camp.

At noon that day, Li Hui, who had been struggling for a night and a half day, ordered his personal soldiers: "I should sleep for a while. Unless the Jin thief attacked the river, don't wake me up. If it disturbs my tranquility, I will definitely be killed." At the hour of the afternoon, Li Hui, who woke up, called his personal soldiers to come in. The personal soldiers held a letter in their hand, saying that it was sent by Zhe Yanzhi.

Li Hui opened the letter and looked at it for a while, and was furious: "What a thief, he actually ran away."

It turned out that Zhe Yanzhi's letter said that Baimajin, north of Zheng County, was the gateway of Kaifeng and was also an important place. He led 40,000 troops to guard Baimajin to guard against the Jin soldiers on the east side of Olibu. Li Hui asked, "When did this letter be sent?"

“About not yet.”

"Why don't you wake me up immediately?"

"Shumi once said that unless the Jin thief crosses the river, don't wake up the Sumi."

"I'm so bold, I actually mocked me, come on, let this guy go out and beat the fifty-odds."

The sound of beating people and the wailings of personal soldiers came. Li Hui slowly calmed down. He suddenly thought of something: "Is this thief Zhe Yanzhi running back to the capital to sue me for the evildoer?" The more Li Hui thought about it, the more wrong it became. He had never led the troops himself, let alone war. If the river defense was lost, Zhe Yanzhi would write another book, but he was afraid that he could not explain it all. The more Li Hui thought about it, the more scared he became. He called his master in, drafted a letter, and sent someone to Bianliang overnight.

When Li Hui was so busy that he had just fallen asleep, he seemed to have just fallen asleep, and someone called him. Li Hui sat up sleepyly and heard his personal soldiers report: "The golden thief has crossed the river."

Li Hui was stunned for a while, thought for a while, and then asked, "What did you say just now?"

"Seven miles downstream, some people saw the Jin thieves crossing the river."

"Ah!" Li Hui's mind was filled with countless random thoughts, "It turns out that Zhe Yanzhi had known that the Jin thieves had crossed the river and ran away secretly. I wonder what the court would think. Will my letter be trusted by the people..." In the end, Li Hui made up his mind: "Even Xiaozhong, a long time ago, and a strong army like Qin Fengjun, were defeated and wiped out by the army. What can I do? Let's go back to Bianliang."

So, on November 7, the first year of Jingkang, 80,000 Song soldiers from Mengjin Ferry rose together in the morning and found that their commander was missing.

"General, General, Li Hui, that coward is gone." Pang Shannuo entered the tent excitedly and shouted at Qiu Muling Zhonglian.

Qiu Muling Zhonglian was ordered by Hu Yangeng to escort 10,000 Hebei people back home. After arriving in Hebei, some homeless people, and some Hebei people who saw the Jin army were powerful and could not settle down in Hebei, all defected to Qiu Muling Zhonglian's army. Qiu Muling Zhonglian expanded his subordinates to 5,000, escorted more than 100,000 Hebei people, and retreated in battle. Finally, he retreated to the south bank of the Yellow River in November. When Zhong Shidao died, the court appointed Li Hui to carry out the Xuanfu affairs and to raise the defense of the river.

Qiu Muling Zhonglian took his subordinates to Li Hui's command and replenished equipment for his 5,000 people. It was also Qiu Muling Zhonglian's good luck. What the Song Dynasty lacked was soldiers and generals who dared to fight, but never lacked equipment.

Lin Ming asked on the side: "General, what should I do? I heard that the Jin thieves have crossed the river." He settled his five-bedroom wives and concubines and came to follow Qiu Muling Zhonglian to repay his life-saving grace. Qiu Muling Zhonglian said: "The Jin thieves are not good at boats, even if they cross the river, they are only a few hundred pawns." He raised his head and ordered: "Pang Shannuo, order three thousand troops and horses to block the camp gate. The entire camp of 80,000 troops and men must not escape. It is a great achievement to keep these 80,000 troops and men to the young brother of the Sa family... It is a great achievement. Master Lin, call me a commanding horse army and a commanding infantry. Let's go and meet the Jin thieves for a while."

Qiu Muling Zhonglian led the 500 horse army to go first. When he first arrived in Hebei, he only brought two hundred horse army. Fortunately, Pang Shannuo was a horsewoman from Hebei. He knew the whereabouts of a group of Hebei garrisons and contacted him. Qiu Muling Zhonglian's horse team expanded to 1,000 people. He led the 500 horse army straight to Qilidu downstream.

At Qili Du, hundreds of Jin soldiers who crossed the river had already arrived. Although the water here was shallow in winter, the water was cold at night. Only dozens of people crossed the river last night, but they were occasionally seen by the Song army and scared Li Hui away. The dozens of people crossed the river here explored the water conditions on the river bank. They waited until the next day, and raised flags and guided the brigade to cross the river.

Qiu Muling Zhonglian led a five hundred horse army to Qilidu, and hundreds of Jin soldiers had already crossed the river.

Qiu Muling Zhonglian shouted loudly, "The Tartars are not wearing armor, young men, kill me." After saying that, he kicked the horse's belly and rushed forward first. The situation was indeed critical. Qiu Muling Zhonglian did not greet the defeated soldiers. Based on his long-term combat experience, he immediately judged who occupied and maintained the bridgehead, and who would win the local area battle. Qiu Muling Zhonglian urged his mount without thinking. He waved a thirty-pound three-pointed two-edged sword and rushed straight into the enemy cluster of the bridgehead. He did not even say hello to his generals and his personal soldiers, because he understood that at this serious moment, the will of the general was the order of the entire army, and the head of his general's horse would be the direction of the entire army's assault. Wherever he rushed himself, the entire army would follow and charge with him and fight.

He rushed into the enemy formation like clouds and mist. The mud and dust raised by the horse's hooves blocked his sight and the Jin army's sight. They seemed to be separated by a barrier of dust. When he could not see the other party's true face, four or five iron spears had been rushed towards him. He used a three-pointed and two-edged sword to force the iron spear to press on the ground. He heard two "climbing" sounds, and the two iron spears broke one by one, and one suddenly fell from the ground because of the excessive pressure. In this round of battle, he himself did not know where the divine power came from, which made him win quickly. It was not until then that he saw the dusty Jin army pick up half of the iron spear, or swing his mounts and flee with both hands.

Qiu Muling Zhonglian took advantage of the situation and chased after him. It seemed that the flying general who had penetrated into the formation cloud from the sky was running at the speed of lightning and thunder. The arrows shot from far away and the sword near him killed more than a dozen Jin troops in a row, forcing the rest of the Jin troops to retreat, and instantly suppressed their arrogance.

Qiu Muling Zhonglian, with his own strength, directly blocked the enemy's offensive momentum and won time for his own actions. It can be said that he really deserves one to be a hundred.

There were so many people gathered on the narrow ground of the bridgehead, and everyone could not exercise their skills, so both sides continued to spread to their wings. At this time, all the cavalry of Qiu Muling and Zhonglian had arrived, and five hundred cavalry wade directly from the beach like a whirlwind. The Jin soldiers who had just crossed the river were unable to defend themselves, and those who crossed the river were mainly Song surrendered soldiers, neither boarded nor lined up. They were killed so much that they howled.
