Hu Yangeng said nothing.

Yang Kefa persuaded Hu Yangeng for a long time and became angry: "Hu Yuhou, it's because I shouldn't instigate the pursuit. I will fight Hu Yanti's life in the future. It's just that the most important thing is now. We have to disperse to find reinforcements."

"What are the concerns about Yang Zhengcheng?"

"Hou Yanyuhou, I don't know where the reinforcements have been reached. We will divide them into two routes. I will go west and go east. Whoever encounters reinforcements will be led to rescue Taiyuan."

"Okay, I'll take my people away." Hu Yangeng's young character was served by Hu Yanhei since he was young. After being penetrated by his soul, Hu Yanhei was also waiting for him. It can be said that he was the closest person he was. This time he was killed because of Yang Kefa's suggestion, and he was unwilling to talk to Yang Kefa too much.

Among the more than ten cavalry who followed out of the city, six of them were the generals and personal soldiers brought from Hu Yangeng from his family. They all followed Hu Yangeng to the east to look for reinforcements.

But there are thousands of miles of Taihang Mountain, where are the reinforcements?

Hu Yangeng and others quietly walked out of the mountain and walked along the mountain road, inquiring along the way. The next day, they arrived at a valley where there was obviously a fierce battle in the valley. The trees were burned by fire, and the damaged armored rods and equipment were thrown everywhere. There were dozens of Song army corpses and seven or eight Jin soldiers' bodies. The armor of the bodies was taken away.

"Young brother, this is the flag of the Hebei Imperial Guards' back guard." Qiu Muling Zhonglian said. Hu Yangeng still regarded them as brothers, but since he recorded the Hu Yan family's roster, Qiu Muling Zhonglian and others have followed the way of master and servant, calling Yangeng his brother.

"It's not surprising that Li Gang's husband and Xiao Zhong Jingli came from the east and brought the Hebei imperial guards."

Qiu Muling Zhonglian's family motto is "Zhuge is cautious all his life." He carefully observed the horse's hoof prints around him: "It's not like a large group of people, but like a small group of people being chased here."

They quickly gathered the bones of the Song army into a pit and covered them with a dead tree. Everyone was used to seeing dead people in Taiyuan City, and Hu Yangeng had no trouble in his heart.

Everyone continued to move forward and soon arrived at a village. There was no people in the village and the doors were closed.

"Zhonglian, go and have something to eat."

Everyone led the horse into the village. The village was quiet. Qiu Muling Zhonglian walked to a room and knocked on the door. No one in the room agreed. The door opened with a slight sound, but it turned out that it was not tied up.

Qiu Muling Zhonglian pulled out his knife, walked into the house vigilantly, searched for a while, but found no one. Cobwebs had formed in the corner of the house.

Everyone met, but there was no one in the village.

"First find a room to rest, then grab some wild animals to eat." Taiyuan was surrounded for ten months, and Hu Yangeng and others had eaten mice and bark. The old and weak in the city had already let them starve to death to save food. The sympathy seemed to be a luxury for Hu Yangeng.

Lu Guleping got two rabbits, roasted rabbit meat and elm seed leaves, which were much better than mice.

The rabbit bone was thrown at the corner of the door, and Hu Yangeng fell to sleep on the master's bed.

Taiyuan City was broken, and the green-faced and fanged Jin soldiers rushed into the city, grabbed the child in the city and bit it. The child screamed sharply...

Hu Yangeng was awakened by the scream. He grabbed the silver mace at his hand and asked, "Enemy attack?"

"Young brother, catch a child."

Hu Yangeng looked at the boy in front of him, and the dust on his face almost covered his facial features, and he couldn't tell his age. Judging from his height, he was only eight or nine years old.

Hu Yangeng handed him a handful of elm seeds and leaves: "Eat it."

The child grabbed the elm seed leaves and started to eat them. When he relaxed mentally, Hu Yangeng quickly found out the whole story: all the people in the village were captured by the Jin soldiers and became slaves. The child was hiding under the ditches and was not discovered by the Jin soldiers. He had been wandering around the village, pursuing bird nests and digging groundhogs to make a living. Hu Yangeng made a fire when roasting rabbit meat, so he ran back to the village to see if his parents were back and was caught by the sentry.

The Jurchen Wanyan tribes were still under slave society at that time, and the captured prisoners and captured residents were all slaves to the tribe.

"Are there any soldiers from the imperial court passing by nearby? "

The child shook his head, he didn't understand what it meant.

"Do you know that your parents were caught by the Jurchens, but they were bald and braided with braids?"

"I know, I'll provide the big business stuff outside the mountain."

Hu Yangeng knew it clearly. It seemed that all the people in the village were captured by the Jin soldiers and became the eldest husband.

"Can you take us to save your parents?"

"Young brother, no." Puluru Bosheng shouted, "We have something big to do."

"When can I find reinforcements? The villagers were arrested as chief husbands. You can always see some of the inside stories of the Jin soldiers."

According to the child's news, there are several convoys every day, passing through the mountain road, and the villagers are in the convoy.

"It seems that it is a fleet of food transported from Yuci to Jin."

Everyone waited silently until noon that day, a team of wheelbarrows swayed and approached. The Jin army invaded and put all the surrounding mules and horses into the camp, and the eldest husband could only rely on human power to push the cart.

The eldest husband had about a hundred people, and several supervisors ran around and urged everyone with whips.

There were about twenty Jin soldiers escorted, and the leaders rode their horses leisurely.

"The Golden Thieves are too careless."

"So what? Hundreds of thousands of reinforcements were defeated, and the Jin thieves would never have expected that our team of people would dare to touch the tiger's butt. Twenty Jin thieves are enough to scare a small group of thieves and refugees."

"Zhuge was cautious all his life, which made sense." Qiu Muling Zhonglian sighed.

When the Jin army gradually approached, Hu Yangeng shot an arrow first, and the sound of the bowstring was a signal. Everyone let go of the bowstring in their hands. A series of arrows, Hu Yangeng shot two shots, Qiu Muling Zhonglian shot three shots, Bu Lu Guleping shot five shots, and the rest of the personal soldiers also had their own captures. Then everyone urged the horse to charge and attacked the remaining Jin soldiers.

The leader of the Jin soldier jumped off his horse when he heard the sound of the bowstring. He escaped a disaster. When he saw the enemy charge, he jumped onto the horse and ran away, turning out Puliu Bosheng, who was specifically responsible for robbing and killing the net.

Bu Lu Gu Leping shouted: "Let's stay, mine."

Before he finished speaking, Puluru Bosheng had stabbed the man off the horse.

Hu Yangeng and others stopped the villagers. Bu Lu Guleping used a dagger to cut the supervisors' throats one by one, and then shook the bloody dagger in his hands at the villagers: "Among all the villagers, I want to be a dog for the Jin thief, that's the end."

The villagers were so scared that they knelt down: "We were forced to be the eldest husband by the Jin thief..."

Qiu Muling Zhonglian pushed Bu Lugu Leping away: "Dear fellow villagers, who do you know the situation of the imperial army?"

The villagers looked at each other but kept silent.

"Tell us the news from the court, you will take away all these foods and hide in the mountains. Don't go back to the village."

Still no one agreed.

Hu Yangeng shouted: "Yesterday we found a child in the village."

Children? Several of the villagers leaned forward and wanted to ask, but they didn't dare.

"That child thought he hadn't seen his parents for several months, and he caught groundhogs every day to make a living."

At this time, a middle-aged man stood up: "Where is he?"

"This place is called Killingling. A few months ago, the imperial court and the Jin thieves had a great battle here." Finally, a brave villager answered.

Hu Yangeng and others barely pieced together the information of the reinforcements from multiple times and came to the worst conclusion: the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty were wiped out. After the defeat of Zhe Keqiu, he had already returned to the prefecture. Liu Guangshi turned forward and went, and there was nowhere to go. Xiaozhong Jinglei's Xianggong was buried in the northwest of Yuci, killing 50,000 troops on Xiongling. Xiaozhong Jinglei's Xianggong was killed by Wanyan Huo's daughter, Yao Gu and others collapsed for 30 miles, and Li Gang's 200,000 reinforcements were also defeated one by one, and no ten people returned to Hebei were left alone.

Three waves of reinforcements, a total of 400,000 troops, is it over?

Hu Yangeng could not believe at all. How many Jin soldiers were there? Half of them were still surrounding Taiyuan. But the battlefield of Killing Xiongling was vividly remembered. The Song soldiers' armor had been taken away by the Jin people, but the broken flags and corpses everywhere all meant that the villagers had no false words.

Qiu Muling Zhonglian said: "Young brother, now we can only go to the court to invite reinforcements."

Hu Yangeng sneered: "The court is afraid that it will be too late to take care of itself." He still retained the memory of traveling through time, knowing that in the same year when Taiyuan City was broken, Bianliang was besieged and fell the following year.

"Where are you going back to Yanzhou Prefecture to invite reinforcements?" Bu Lu Gu Leping proposed another idea. Although it could not reach the level of a state like the Zhe family, in Yanzhou, the Huyan family brought out fifty generals and three hundred personal guards, and it was not difficult to mobilize one general to the Western Army.

"Including the civilians, there are not 10,000 people, and they can help them very much. Moreover, the ten-day period has passed. The 400,000 army is defeated, and there must be scattered soldiers around us. We can gather them together to see if we can do something."

"Young brother, don't talk about the ten-day period. Even if we wait to gather thousands of scattered soldiers within ten days, we will not be able to escape the siege of Taiyuan. We should return to Yanzhou Prefecture earlier and report the situation here to the old Grand Marshal."

Hu Yangeng's heart moved: He still remembers the general historical trend. If he took this opportunity to contact the Zhe family and the Zhong family and other Western Army generals, and prepare early, it may not be impossible to save Shaanxi.

But when he thought of Zhang Jun's suspicion of the Western Army during the Battle of Fuping, he immediately became discouraged. So he said: "Be entrusted by others to be loyal to others. Even if he cannot break the siege, he must be on the edge and try to steal some lives of the people when the city is broken." Hu Yangeng remembered the "history" of the city of Taiyuan and the Jin soldiers massacre.

Since this was decided, Hu Yangeng asked the villagers: "Do you know where the defeated soldiers of the imperial court went?"

"I don't know."

At this time, an old man leaned forward and shrank back.

"Brother-in-law, how can I ask if I have any advice?"

"Hundreds of people went east. I don't know where they really went."

"Going east, is it going to Longde Mansion?" Hu Yangeng knocked open a silver ingot and rewarded the villagers with scattered silver. Then he discussed with his family generals, "Longde Mansion has a Zhaoyi Army, and it may be possible to borrow reinforcements."

Everyone rushed eastward by horses. The Taihang Mountains were already desolate, and there was a turmoil again, and there was no one around. The group rested at night, stopped their horses, ran away during the day, and two days later, they arrived in front of a mountain.

It was getting late, and everyone found a village. A small wall was leaning against the mountain. There was some arable land in front of them. It was time for the farmers to finish their work, and they called their children and daughters to walk into the village.

At that time, the people of the Song Dynasty were not lost. Hu Yangeng revealed his identity and handed over the flag of Hu Yan's family in. The village opened the gate and welcomed several people in.
