Duan Jinzhu kept bowing, kowtowed, and murmured, "You are my great benefactors, my reborn parents." After that, he raised his hands, "papapapapa" and slapped himself in the face, until the corner of his mouth was blown out of blood, and he stopped. He said firmly, 'This is a break from Duan Jinzhu in the past. From now on, a new Duan Jinzhu is born. Please believe me, I will definitely change my past mistakes. I will do whatever you want me to do."

Wu Ge nodded and said, "I hope you will be a trustworthy person." Then he ordered the guards to take him out.

Wu Ge ordered: "Please come here."

The captain Zhu was Zhu Tong, one of the 36 people in Liangshan who rebelled with Song Jiang. After recruiting, he was sent to the Baoding Army as the head of the horse archer. After the Jin army headed south, he occupied Bazhou. In the second year of Jianyan, Hu Yangeng took all the Hebei East Road, naturally including Bazhou, so Zhu Tong surrendered to Hu Yangeng.

This time Wu Ge went south to Shandong, thinking that Zhu Tong was a local from Shandong, so he brought him too.

Wu Ge said to Zhu Tong, "Duan Jinzhu is familiar with the situation in the North and has become the leader of the Signature Army. It will be of great benefit to me to take root in Shandong. Master Zhu, I will give you the title of Yanzhou Governor and expand the local surrendered Signature Army into the regiment training department. If you do well, I will report to the marching department and officially give you the title of governor. First, I will incorporate Duan Jinzhu's Signature Army, and eliminate it while fighting. What do you think?"

"Abide by the order." Zhu Tong heard the importance of the mission from Wu Ge's words, and learned from their actions the importance of rescuing a person. He stood up and replied loudly: "Please rest assured, I will definitely seize these more than a thousand signings."

Zhu Tong took over the task and explained the righteousness to Duan Jinzhu. He was originally a archer and a rough man and had no words, but he could be very impressed with Duan Jinzhu if he had such a superficial word.

However, the story of the Jinzhu is indeed a person who will do what he says and do what he does. On the day he was released, he wrote a "Letter to the Signature Army Compatriots", which tells the benevolence and righteousness of the Hu family army and his regrets, and calls on the Signature Army to surrender to the court anyway.

Duan Jinzhu's "Message to Compatriots" was widely posted in Zhangji Township, which shocked a lot, which showed his determination to make contributions. Duan Jinzhu did not do it, but never stopped, and set up a table at the door of his house and set up a recruitment office.

Hundreds of soldiers who signed with weapons to surrender, Suo Chao pulled out the Ruiz from his subordinates and set up the team skeleton.

A few days later, Wu Ge decided to lead his troops to continue to advance eastward. The news spread and the people told each other. On that day, countless people were surrounded in front of the station. When they saw Wu Ge, they knelt down. Wu Ge was shocked. He didn't know what big thing happened. He hurriedly called everyone to get up, but no one was willing to get up. A white-bearded elder kneeling in the front said loudly: "General, please agree to our request."

“Look, please speak quickly.”

"You are leaving, the Jin thieves will come back again. The sign troops who were dismissed by you will become bandits on the mountain, giving the people a way out?" "Does your father-in-law have any advice?"

"Can the army stay in Zhang Ji and not leave?"

Wu Ge laughed: "Don't worry, my father-in-law, I will leave behind the subordinates of governor Zhu." He had already made a plan to establish the Southwest Shandong Tuanlian Department here to open up the transportation link between the Taihang Mountains and Shandong. When Zhu Tong stayed here, the supply was a problem. Since the people were trying to keep it, it was exactly what Wu Ge wanted.

Wu Ge led his troops to the east and marched overnight. At dawn, he arrived at the northwest of the Tombshang City. He was only three miles away from Caoqiao. Seeing that the sky was already bright, he ordered the troops to camp on the spot and looked towards Caoqiao. Finally, he saw the sentry's horses back, so he asked anxiously: "What is the situation in Caoqiao?"

"The defense envoy has only one military stronghold."

"Yeah~" Holding your cheeks with your hand, the Sichuan character on Wu Ge's eyebrows was clearly revealed, and he was strolling while thinking.

A signing military stronghold is not a big problem, but now to the north is Tai'an and Mount Tai, which is the place where Jin soldiers gather.

The regular troops of the Song and Jin sides were roughly in the four cities of Jinan, Tai'an, Qingzhou and Yingtian (Shangqiu). The Song army in Tai'an was led by Xiao Li Guanghuarong, while there were 20,000 Jin soldiers outside the city. The war in Caoqiao was a little bit serious, which alarmed the Jin soldiers in Tai'an, which was a big battle.

Wu Ge's mission was not to lift the siege of Tai'an, but to go to Xiaxi Town, Dongping Prefecture, to join the local Song army.

Not long after Zhao Bozhen entered Shandong, and the Jin soldiers invaded, the Song army garrisons in various places became local powerful factions, especially Dong Ping's troops in Dongping Prefecture.

Wu Ge wanted to use the Hu family army he led as his support to forcibly suppress the powerful Shandong factions and reorganize them as the main force in Shandong's battle with the Jin soldiers.

Therefore, the battle with the Jin soldiers now is only an interference rather than a help for Wu Ge's main task.

Wu Ge knocked on the map and said to himself: 'When you pass through this gate of hell, there is the sunshine in front of you." Suo Chao said: "The focus of the Jin soldiers is in Tai'an, and they are often paralyzed to the suburbs. Why don't we take advantage of this and break into the grass bridge during the day?"

Wu Ge explained this and Suo Chao said: "After the order."

"How many people are you going to bring?"

"I only need a big axe."

After breakfast, a team of Jin soldiers rode a horse, followed by a donkey cart and slapped to the entrance of Caoqiao Army's headquarters. The tall military sentry soldier felt three points shorter when he saw the Jin soldiers. He was about to let go, but suddenly his eyes rolled around and thought to himself, "No, why are they all wearing hats and their hair exposed?"

Just as I was wondering, I suddenly heard a loud shout like a thunderbolt: "Children, search the guys."

A personal guard handed the long axe to Suo Chao. Suo Chao killed the casual sentry, jumped onto his war horse, and went straight into the camp. A signature army came to stop him. Suo Chao killed them with an axe, which was really invincible.

Suo Chao's subordinates were just over ten cavalry, and he felt as if he had entered a no-man in the military camp, and went straight to the central army tent.

The leader of the Central Army's tent and the military commander of the Jin Kingdom came out of the tent after hearing the sound. Seeing a war horse coming overwhelmingly, a general like an iron tower slashed down with an axe behind the horse's head.

After solving these two people, the leader of the army in the camp was without a leader, and Suo Chao shouted like thunder: "Those who surrender are exempt from death."

This is how the Caoqiao Sign Army was solved.

Wu Ge led his army through Caoqiao and headed straight to Dongping Prefecture. When the Jin soldiers swept across the eastern and western parts of the mountain, the Song army of Dongping Prefecture voluntarily gave up the city and instead stationed in the nearby Xiaxie Town.

Wu Ge led his troops to Xiaxie Town. There was no city wall in the town, and there were only two small roads in the town to form a cross street. Each intersection leading to the outside of the town had sentries standing guard.
