The beautiful woman was shocked when she saw Feng Mingjian. She quickly turned her head and found Wu Jiapi's eyes. Her expression was filled with shock, suspicion, joy and sorrow.

The soldiers came and went, and a few steps apart, the two of them had been silent and confronting each other. The beautiful woman was pale and her heart was probably turning a lot. Feng Mingjian's mind was blank for a long time, and suddenly a burst of anger arose from his courage: Silly girl, I finally found you!

The beautiful woman did not speak or get off the car, and finally put down the curtains and went away with Lord Wang's carriage. Before leaving, she was crying. Is it a fault? Is it shame? Is it shame? Is it fear?

Feng Mingjian was righteous and proud! Every time Feng Mingjian was blown up by Wu Jiapi, he wanted to pinch the brat one by one and return it to his parents. Whether he stayed in the valley or went out of the battle, Feng Mingjian wanted someone to find him to the army tent and recognize him so that he could escape the sea of ​​suffering and no longer be recognized as his father by the thief; and, when the woman pretended to be a husband, she was misunderstood by the heroes of Feng Mingjian and left a romantic affair in the Immortal Pass. She has suffered many grievances over the years, and she must be brought back justice!

Although Feng Mingjian was extremely excited, he did not lose his composure, because he always remembered the Lord's announcement to live in harmony with the official army. "Looking at the graceful and luxurious woman, I think it was this relative of Lord Wang. I wonder if Lord Wang is Wu Jiapi, I'm not sure if Lord Wang is Wu Jiapi?" Feng Mingjian thought to himself, but he could not hold him accountable rashly. After careful consideration, he decided to go to the government office where Lord Wang temporarily lived first, and acted indirectly.

However, everything was troubled, Feng Mingjian had never been able to do what he wanted. He finally rectified the troops left by Lord Zhang, comforted all the disabilities in the Battle of the Taekwon, and cleaned up all the mess this month. General Feng, who had been busy every day, had not had the time to go to Gu Wujiapi, but was summoned to the front line by another army of Gao Yin. It was six days later when he returned in triumph.

The delayed six days were not important at first, and the troublesome situation was understandable, and it should not affect the integration of the officials and rebels. However, Feng Mingjian set out to meet Lord Wang and accidentally heard the discussion behind the garrison's official army, saying that Lord Wang was "very difficult to serve". Feng Mingjian asked the reason, and the officers and soldiers knew it. It turned out that during these six days, Lord Wang had been to the base camp several times and stayed very short, but he found various reasons and had only a dozen officials one after another, with all the official positions from top to bottom.

"General Feng, in fact, all of these people are minor crimes, so they will not be dismissed or demoted..." The complainant officers and soldiers showed sad faces, and everyone was in danger.

Feng Mingjian felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. Why were those people targeted him? Those who were dismissed and demoted were surrounded by themselves that day, and the stars ignored Lord Wang.

He didn't see him throwing his blood on the front line, and Hou Qiu asked if he was thunderous and resolute... Feng Mingjian first thought that Lord Wang was a mediocre person, but now it seems that it is worse than expected.

"Prince Zhang, when he came in danger, only knew how to protect himself. Now, Lord Wang is still flirting with the enemy. If the officials of the court are all like this, the Northern Expedition... is dangerous..." Feng Mingjian certainly would not say this sentence as carelessly as Zhu Mengchang, and only kept it in his heart and sighed secretly. Because he was small and saw the big, he was really not optimistic about the Northern Expedition of the court.

Say

Feng Mingjian is not the only one who is not optimistic about the Northern Expedition.

As early as early April, when Deng Youlong ordered his march, some martial students came forward to oppose imprisonment; in the two Huai and Zhejiang, many knowledgeable people pointed out that "the northern expedition was not good for the Song Dynasty at this time." Of course, this included a large group of leaders and factions, but there were also many pro-war factions who resolutely resisted the Jin Dynasty, such as Xin Qiji who wrote "Yuan Jia, sealed the wolf's residence, and won the north in a hurry", and Ye Wenxuan's uncle who once believed that "no war of resistance could not save the country", and Ye Shi, Mr. Shui Xin.

The pro-war faction represented by them did not advocate blind passion and opposes inadequate preparations. Ye Shi even proposed to the Song court to "simplify the army, reduce fiscal expenditure and tax donations, and restore the Central Plains after strengthening the national strength." However, his suggestions were the same as Xin Qiji's strategy to pacify the army, and were drowned out by the voices of radical brain fever and those who are very enthusiastic about meritoriousness in the morning.

The radical brain fever, those who are very enthusiastic about meritorious voices are even louder. Throughout April, those who came back to the Song court from the front line were all victories, especially at the end of the month, the news of good news was frequent: 26, conquering Xinxi, Neixiang, Sizhou; 27, 28, invading Baoxin and Hongxian; 29, regaining Yingshang.

Victory successively made people happy, so on the seventh day of the fifth month of the second year of Kaixi, the Song court decided to formally issue an edict to attack the Jin Dynasty.

Ye Shi refused to draft an edict for declaring war, saying that "the rash northern expedition was at a critical moment." Han Tuozhou angrily suppressed his remarks and ordered Li Bi, a scholar of Zhi, to draft an edict. Li Bi, a scholar of Li Bai, was talented by Li Bai and Su Wu, and said generously in the edict: "The way of heaven is good to return, and China must be extended; people's hearts are as follows, and every man will avenge him... The army is famous, and the army is strong, and the words are far away and the words are close, who has no loyalty and righteousness? As a son and a minister, you should remember the anger of your ancestors. If you are quick, you will be successful, so don't lose it at the right time!"

Justice is awe-inspiring and passionate. Li Bi's article greatly inspires the blood of soldiers. No matter which dynasty is put into, it is a work that can awaken the weak military and civilians: to resist the humiliation of foreign tribes, it must be avenged, and ten times more than it will be!

However, the corrupt Southern Song official army was unable to deserve Li Bi's exiled talent.

"At first, it was obviously a sweet thing to give Deng Youlong, but the more you go north, the more you may be more prepared, because Pusanji was fully prepared." At the beginning, Bai Qingzhou speculated that Wanyan Yonglian and Pusanji were deliberately showing illusions to Deng Youlong and asked you to fall into the trap. He once expressed his worries about Lin Qian.

Unfortunately, she said that the official army was deceived into a ship that had been chiseled in advance. It was in a state of excitement and was caught off guard against the water sinking, and the mounds were scattered little by little.

On the seventh day of the fifth month, the Song court issued an edict to declare war. However, on the sixth day of the fifth month, the Song general Wang Dajie was frustrated to attack Caizhou, and the army was in chaos when they retreated;

In less than half a month, Song general Huangfu Bin led his troops to attack Tangzhou, but was rejected at the city. He was stolen by Jin soldiers and killed and injured tens of thousands;

Song general Li Shuang attacked Shouzhou for less than a month and was defeated by the Jin defenders and reinforcements inside and outside...

Failures and bad news come one after another, and they are in decline after the peak.

During this period, in order to relieve Bai Qingzhou's worries and to realize his ambition to serve the country, gangs such as Hongaozhai, Xiao Qinhuai, and Murong Mountain Villa all sent troops to help the Eastern Front without hesitation. Thanks to Yang Songxian's retreat from the sky and repelling the pursuers, Wang Dajie was spared from the trampling of the Jin army's war horses; Sima Dailan, Murong Jingjie and others also ambushed the Jin army halfway, and Huangfu Bin was able to escape safely and regain his momentum.

Even so, the official army could not be fully supported, but could only try their best to minimize casualties and damage...

Say

Since the end of the battle, Ye Wenxuan and Leng Piaoling and his wife have been following the Song army that attacked Suzhou to the north. At that time, Suzhou, as a strategic location to open up Qilu, was the first strategic goal of the Eastern Front official army. It invested the most, had the strongest combat readiness, and the situation was also very good. Earlier, the Song army had conquered the outer Lingbi and Hong County. Recently, the commander Tian Junmai captured Qi County, which was less than dozens of miles away from Suzhou.

"In order to prevent the servant Sankui from sending troops to reinforce Suzhou, he also asked the envoy to recruit troops to reinforce Tian Junmai." Ye Wenxuan made plans for Guo Ni, the highest military commander of the Eastern Front.

If Ye Wenxuan had not had a special identity, Guo Ni, who was above the top and compared himself to Kong Ming, would probably not have listened to him. And without saying a word, he sent his younger brother Guo Zhuo to the front line.

Ye Wenxuan is worthy of his name as a think tank. As he expected, Pusankui increased his troops, but fortunately he was only 3,000, how could he fight against Guo Zhuo 50,000? In addition, there was also the head of the Qinhuai family, Nanlong and Nanhu, who led the rebel army to help. Several troops surrounded Suzhou and were unable to escape, and the enemy was small, so we were bound to win.

On the night of the decisive battle, the flames burned the sky.

The Song army's offensive was fierce and fierce. The little Qinhuai rebel army bravely took the lead. The two brothers of Nanlong and Nanhu even fought hand in hand to climb the city, with murderous intent: "Brothers, let me kill you!"

Nanlong roared and his grudge was broken. When the Jin soldiers saw this, they were so desperate that Suzhou was about to fall, and the Song army was within reach of victory.

Ye Wenxuan rushed left and right in the arrows and stones with purple lightning and clear frost. He clearly felt the struggle of the Jin army gradually declined. He was grateful for the strong combat effectiveness of the Qinhuai rebel army. He suddenly remembered what Ye Shi said to him many years ago: "Most of those in high positions in the court rely on flattery, only knowing to deduct military pay and command soldiers. On the contrary, those who are truly talented cannot succeed and sink into subordinates. These talented people cannot tolerate talented people coming from behind, and would rather kill them in the bud." When his thoughts moved, for some reason, he suddenly thought that he was so pessimistic and unfavorable? The Battle of Suzhou was about to win.

"Ah..." But when his wife screamed, she pulled his mind back in an instant. Looking in the sound, a familiar figure fell heavily from the top of the city in the solemn and solemn air.

"...Nanlong!" Ye Wenxuan was shocked. He and Longhu Erjue had known each other for a long time. They were veterans of Xiao Qinhuai. They helped Li Junqian revive the Huainan gang and made great contributions to Lin Qian's capture of the Short Knife Valley. But why...

Why was there an arrow inserted on Nan Long's back at this moment? Ye Wenxuan felt cold, Song Jun's arrow?! Behind it?!

The arrow was so powerful that it was facing Nan Long's back heart, and it fell from such a high city tower. How could it be possible to survive and almost died on the spot.

"Brother!" Nanhu came to hear the bad news and picked up Nan Long and burst into tears.

"Who fired the cold arrow?" Leng Piaoling was furious and could not tolerate it. The official army actually shot Nan Long for robbing the merits?

"It's not me, not me!" "It's Ryuya, who accidentally injured Nan Tang's family..." The official army either shied or denied it, and wanted to continue to attack the city. However, when the rebel army saw the leader's death, it might be harmed by others, so how could they still be beaten?

The two masters of dragons and tigers are all known in the two Huai and Zhejiang, especially Nanlong, who intimidated Gusu and were domineering. In his death, the fighting spirit of the civilian army organized by Xiao Qinhuai was also disintegrated. Even Ye Wenxuan could not gather, and Leng Piaoling had no intention of gathering.

The Suzhou Jin army, who had already surrendered, seized the last straw to save lives and suddenly cheered up. The soldiers would win. Taking advantage of the official army's rebel army's newfound power, they consolidated the city defense and fought to the death, while taking risks, and attacked by surprise, burning the food and grass behind the Song army...

Unexpectedly, Suzhou, which is within reach, miraculously failed!

Guo Zhuo was in the position of deputy commander, and even failed to take good care of the most important military rations. This was indeed Ye Shi's judgment and also gave Ye Wenxuan a heavy blow to his heart. However, when the enemy was in front of him, Wenxuan was always quiet, so he never expressed any dissatisfaction with Guo Zhuo, but instead helped him survive the suffering. When the Song army could not capture Suzhou for a long time, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops, and was tired and suffered from shortage of food, Wenxuan helped Guo Zhuo formulate a place for the army station and tried his best. Unexpectedly, Guo Zhuo insisted on his own and insisted on stationing the army in a low-lying area.

Ye Wenxuan hurriedly asked to see Guo Zhuo: "The weather is gloomy and it is probably rainy. The general should not station troops in low-lying terrain."

Guo Zhuo snorted coldly: "I am worthy of my uncle and nephew. Ye Shi is shrunk, and you, Ye Wenxuan, are also many concerns. 'I'm afraid' it's raining. You are so presumptuous, how can you not be harmed by us?" The implication was that you were resentful of Nan Long's death by the government army, although Ye Wenxuan had tried his best to suppress the rebels' complaints after the incident.

Ye Wenxuan was stunned when he heard this. Guo Zhuo was so repulsive to the rebel army, even hostile...

"If the governor needs it, he can issue orders to Wenxuan at any time." Before Ye Wenxuan returned to the rebel army, he was calm about Guo Zhuo. Except for him, no other person could do this kindness and righteousness.

"No need!" But Guo Zhuo said coldly.

He was guilty of his own fault and could not survive. Guo Zhuo, who was unwilling to accept Ye Wenxuan's strategy, put his officers under his command in a dangerous situation. Heavy rain that night, flooding the three armies. The Song army, who was already busy, was raided from the back by the Jin army, and had no combat power and was slaughtered.

The corpses were everywhere and blood flowed into a river. When Guo Zhuo was in a daze, Jin General was approaching, riding a tall horse, carrying a bright big knife and falling down on his head.

Guo Zhuo's neck stiffened and was waiting to die. Suddenly, he slashed out in time and helped him block the big knife. Not only did he rescue him, but he also chased and slashed the Jin General with his backhand and beat him to the head of blood.

"General Tian..." Guo Zhuo was dizzy and could see clearly for a while. It was Tian Junmai who was originally going to reinforce, but he didn't expect to ask someone to save his life instead.

Just like he was originally here to besiege Suzhou, but he didn't expect that he would be besieged by someone now...

"Master, you get on the horse first." Tian Junmai was loyal and gave up the war horse to Guo Zhuo, and led his own people to be the rear guard of Guo Zhuo.

Guo Zhuo was very grateful and took the horse first without hesitation. At that time, he escaped first, so he could not care about the rest of his subordinates.

The summer rain continued, and the sky was slow to dawn. Guo Zhuo and other leaders were in a panic and didn't know how far they had run away. They were dizzy and couldn't figure out where they were. The wind and cranes were panicked, and someone could fall from the horse when they were frightened, but no one had the courage to stop the horse and ask about their comrades...

Continue to escape, without stopping, exhausted and frustrated, and his throat was dry and his tongue was dry. The dimness in front of him was endless, and the Jin army was chasing him. Guo Zhuo and others looked back from time to time: Tian Junmai's behind the palace were fighting and retreating, and they fought for a while and retreated a little, saying that they were protecting their lives, but they also thought that they could not hold the Jin army with all their might... Guo Zhuo thought this way, and suddenly his center of gravity lowered and secretly shouted that it was not good. It turned out that the war horse under his crotch was exhausted. God would not help me. Is it going to die here today?

The generals were dismissed, and how could the generals not ask? After a little delay, the Jin army behind had already caught up.

"The rebel army also fights." Nanhu has not yet completely walked out of the pain of his brother's death. His eyes are slightly red and his voice is low, but he volunteered on behalf of Xiao Qinhuai.

"More than 400 people..." Leng Piaoling counted the number of people, and was very experienced.

"Enough." Every word Bi Zaiyu said would make people feel at ease.

In a moment, the Jin soldiers and five thousand iron cavalry rushed towards the spiritual wall in two groups, and the black clouds were coming to the city.

"Crash!" Only twenty people were left to defend the city. Bi Zaihui led the rest of the troops and killed directly into the enemy's formation. He did not retreat but advanced, and attacked head-on.

The Jin army was surprised that there was such a squad that was hiding in the Song army fleeing south. As soon as they calmed down, they saw the elite soldiers and generals with high martial arts skills. They were even more shocked: "It's General Bi!" "The God of War Bi meets you..." The formation was in chaos. It can be imagined that Bi Zaicheng had already shocked the Jin army after the battle in Sizhou.

If only Bi Zai met one person, it might not have caused a complete collapse of the morale of the Jin army. It happened that Jin soldiers recognized Bi Zai met one after another, all of whom came from the Anti-Jin Alliance: "Is it Lin Fei's two masters in Huainan?" "It's Lin Fei's tent... Lin'an Scenic Sword, Ye Wenxuan!" "Bi Zai also used two swords. At this age, would this martial arts be Lin Fei's uncle?"

"Lin Bandit?" Bi Zai couldn't think about it carefully. He waved his swords and fought bravely to kill the enemy. After defeating the Jin army, he continued to pursue the enemy with a thirty miles northward, and his armor was splashed with blood from the Jin soldiers.

The momentum was like a dragon, unrivaled. Suddenly, a general of gold jumped forward by the army formation with two iron maces in his hand. After he met his eyes and hands quickly, he raised his left sword to placate his mace, and held his right sword to chop his brim. The general of gold shouted, and fell off his horse and died.

Suddenly, the wind came from behind. Bi Zaiyu turned around immediately and slashed the two sneak attackers with two swords. In the flash, another gun was stabbed on the slanting road. It was fierce and the angle was vicious. No matter how flexible Bi Zaiyu was, he was finally in his sixties. Seeing that his waist and abdomen were exposed to the power of the gun, Leng Piaoling, who was closest to him, caught up in time, swung his sword, and his sharpness was like a rainbow, cutting off the gun-holding gold general, and it was straightforward.

"Good sword technique, Mrs. Ye is not as good as a man!" Bi Zaiyu admired it and said, "This sword move is very similar to an old friend..."

"My father is Leng Tiezhang Lengkui in Lin'an." Leng Piaoling spoke bluntly.

"...It turns out." Bi Zaiyu nodded, as if he remembered the past.

Say

As more and more friendly troops retreated into Lingbi and Jin troops besieged Lingbi, Bi Zaiyu's original plan to attack Xuzhou was no longer feasible. At this time, and at that time, after weighing the pros and cons, even if Bi Zaiyu did not fight again, he agreed with Wenxuan's suggestion to lead the crowd to evacuate.

"You retreat first, and I will cover it." Bi Zaiyu finished speaking to his friendly troops and turned to see Ye Wenxuan staring at him in a daze. "Wenxuan, what?"

"Oh, nothing..." Ye Wenxuan came to his senses, "When he saw General Bi, he thought of a friend who was here, who was here, who was here."

"Is it that 'Lin Belt'?" Bi Zaiyu asked with a smile.

"Have General Bi heard of him too?" Wen Xuan asked.

"I have met many people, enemies and friends recently, seem to have a close relationship with him." Bi Zaiyu was very interested, "It is said to be a hero? Unfortunately, I am a kid."

"I think he should also want to meet General Bi." Wen Xuan was very regretful.

The next morning, Bi Zai encountered a great defeat in the Jin army outside Lingbi City. Wen Xuan immediately asked when he heard the news of the good news: "How far has our army withdrawn?"

"According to the agreed speed, it should be thirty miles at this moment." Leng Piaoling replied.

"It's time for us, the people behind the palace, to leave." Ye Wenxuan said, "All the supplies that cannot be taken away will be abandoned and set fire to this place. Don't panic when retreating."

"Military advisor, why did he not abandon the city and retreat together so urgently last night? Now, he has defeated it..." Some of the generals behind the palace were puzzled.
To be continued...
