At the fourth watch of the day, on the south bank of the Huaihe River, the Qi army camp was dark and silent. There were only a few groups of soldiers carrying torches patrolling back and forth in the camp.

At this time, on the official road south of the camp, a rapid sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.

The secret sentry outside the camp noticed the cavalry approaching and immediately fired a rocket into the air. The Qi army on the tower saw the warning and quickly shouted down: "Hundred households, there is a situation!"

Not long after, several cavalrymen rushed over, and the Qi army guarding the camp gate was ready, "Who is coming?"

"Jinyiwei! Open the camp gate quickly, it's urgent!" Zhao Hu responded loudly as the cavalry galloped up to them.

The officer guarding the door squinted and saw that it was Zhao Hu commanded by the Jin Yiwei. He waved quickly, "Open the door!"

Zhao Hu did not follow Zhao Tai to leave Hengjian Mountain. After the Guiyi Army formed an army, the Jin Yiwei had many things to do and needed to screen the returning soldiers.

Zhao Tai sent spies to the Mongolian army, so he was naturally worried that the Mongolian army would send spies to him.

Therefore, the Jin Yiwei must not only spy on intelligence, but also examine the Qi army officers and evaluate those who surrender, which is a huge responsibility.

At that moment, Qi's soldiers opened the camp door with a creak, and Zhao Hu got off his horse and walked quickly into the camp.

"Commander Zhao, why are you here?" The gatekeeper came up to ask.

Zhao Hu said directly: "Take me to the king's military tent!"

Zhao Tai commanded an army of tens of thousands, and took care of everything every day. He was busy until three o'clock at night, and then he lay down in bed to rest.

The soldiers all knew that Zhao Tai worked hard, and once Zhao Tai fell asleep, they would not wake him up unless something big happened.

Because of the march and fighting, the commander was under a lot of pressure. It was difficult to sleep soundly at night. Even if he fell asleep, he would only sleep lightly. If there was any disturbance, he would immediately sit up and stand up. Therefore, the guards outside the tent were very vigilant and would not be disturbed easily.

Zhao Tai.

At this time, the fourth watch was when Zhao Tai was sleeping comfortably, but the soldiers outside the tent still called: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Zhao Tai opened his eyes tiredly, "Is it the fifth update?

"Your Majesty, Commander Zhao came from Hengjian Mountain and said he had important information to report!" the soldiers outside replied.

When Zhao Tai heard this, he suddenly woke up. He sat up from the bed, and while dressing, he asked, "Have you captured Hengjian Mountain?"

Zhao Tai couldn't hide his joy in his voice, but Zhao Hu reported outside the tent: "Your Majesty, it's not that Hengjian Mountain has been captured, but someone from Lin'an is here!"

These words made Zhao Tai's heart tremble. His movements stiffened, but he put on his robe and got out of bed, "Come in and talk!"

Zhao Hu walked in, saluted Zhao Tai, and reported: "Your Majesty, Lin'an sent a gold medal, summoned the two Zhao Xianggongs, and the king came to Beijing to award the reward! Shi Songzhi was ordered to temporarily take charge of Huainan's military affairs and take the lead in making peace with Mongolia.

"

As soon as Zhao Tai heard this, evil fire rushed to the top of his head.

The Southern Song Dynasty really wanted to make peace, and in order to make peace, they directly called Zhao Kui and Zhao Fan to Lin'an, completely ignoring the current good situation.

Now Zhao Tai is defending the Huaihe River, and Wo Kuotai cannot cross the river. The Song army besieging Hengjian Mountain can capture Hengjian Mountain as long as they work harder.

The Southern Song Dynasty court directly issued gold medals, transferred the main war faction, and asked Shi Songzhi to negotiate peace with Mongolia, which was equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain.

"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!" Zhao Tai hammered his chest, feeling the indignation of Yue Fei more than 90 years ago: "Ten years of work have been wasted in one day! All the counties gained will be rested in one day!"

Zhao Hu lowered his head and waited for Zhao Tai's anger to calm down before continuing: "Now Shi Songzhi has taken over the military affairs of each battalion in the Southern Song Dynasty and ordered to stop attacking the mountain."

When Zhao Tai heard that he had stopped attacking, he put his hand on his heart and felt a twinge of pain, "Go and invite the military advisor!"

Wang Bin hurried over and saw Zhao Tai getting angry in the tent. He exhaled and stepped forward to bow, "The matter has come to this, please don't be angry!"

Zhao Tai scolded Shi Songzhi and Zhao Yun in the tent, and finally Zhao Kui also scolded him, "I will not accept your life! Kublai Khan was besieged for half a month, and he only had one breath left. Privy Zhao

Why can't we withstand the pressure and chew down Hengjian Mountain?"

When Wang Bin came over, he had already learned about the situation from Zhao Hu, and sighed: "The one sent from Lin'an was a gold medal. The last one who waited until twelve gold medals returned was unjustly killed within a few months."

Yue Wumu's example is before us, Privy Zhao also has his difficulties!"

Zhao Tai also knew Zhao Kui's difficulties. His men were all forbidden soldiers, not private soldiers. Even if he ordered an attack, the forbidden troops would not listen to him.

Zhao Tai sighed heavily, "I just feel it's a pity!"

Wang Bin said: "Your Majesty, let's think about how to deal with it now! The emperor's gold medal, seeing the medal is like seeing the emperor. Lin'an not only recalled Privy Zhao and Zhao Zhi as envoys, but also summoned the king to Lin'an to receive the reward. Will the king go?"

Zhao Tai cursed: "Go to hell!"

Wang Bin said: "Now Wokuotai is on the north bank, and the Song army is on the south bank. Since Lin'an has decided to negotiate peace, the king has nothing to do. Now that Lin'an is summoned by the gold medal, the king will not go to Lin'an, but can return to Shandong quickly."

Zhao Tai's cheeks twitched, and he said in a deep voice for a while: "Gu has a large number of soldiers and horses in Hengjian Mountain, and the seized money has not been transported away! If Gu leaves at this time, I am afraid that the Song army will take away Gu's money. Furthermore, if Gu leaves,

If there is no one to deter Mongolia, the Southern Song Dynasty may not be able to negotiate any good terms!"

Having said this, Zhao Tai became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. Even if he wanted to just leave, he had to protect the Southern Song Dynasty and not let them betray the country too harshly.

…

With the Hengjian Mountain and Lin'an gold medals, Zhao Kui knew it was over.

Unlike Zhao Tai, his troops had nothing to do with the imperial court. He was able to command the Song army not because he was powerful, but because he was a privy envoy appointed by the emperor.

Now that the emperor has obtained a gold medal and released his military power, even if he orders an attack, his imperial troops will not obey the order.

The power of Zhao Kui and Zhao Fan came from the emperor's appointment. Now that the emperor wanted to take it back, he could only hand over his military power, put on court uniforms, and obey orders to go to Lin'an.

Although the gold medal said that they should go to Lin'an to receive the reward, both of them, including the soldiers of the Song Army, knew that their future was slim.

Because everyone knew this script, the generals of the Song army avoided them, so much so that when the two of them left the camp, no one came to see them off.

Zhao Fan looked back at the camp and let out a sad laugh. Zhao Kui sighed, "Let's go! It's better not to implicate others!"

The two men pulled the reins and rode south. At this moment, a burst of neat chanting came from the Qi army camp to the east.

"I am so angry that my head is full of anger. I look down at the balcony, and the misty rain stops. I look up, look up to the sky and howl, my heart is full of passion."

Zhao Fan listened carefully, and when he thought of his situation, his eyes turned red, "Prime Minister, listen, it's Yue Wumu's Manjianghong!"

"Thirty years of fame and dust, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon."

"Don't wait any longer. The young man's head will turn gray, and there will be no sorrow."

In the Qi army camp, tens of thousands of soldiers, holding weapons in hand, vented their grief, anger and dissatisfaction by reciting Grandpa Yue's "Man Jiang Hong" in unison, and at the same time saw off the two main warring ministers.

What happened to Yue Fei is known to everyone in the world. Zhao Kui knows the intention of the Qi army. This is to tell the court that they know about Yue Fei. If the court unjustly kills the minister of the war faction, then everyone in the world will know that the court has killed him unjustly.

Hero.

"The shame of Jingkang is still not over!"

"The hatred of the ministers, when will it be destroyed!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers in the Qi army camp recited it in unison, and the sound spread to all the Song army camps. Many Song army soldiers were also ashamed to ask for peace and admit defeat, so they could not help but whisper along with the recitation.

Finally, the voices of more than 100,000 soldiers gathered together and swept across the earth like a strong wind. "Driving a long chariot, we trampled through the gap in the Helan Mountains! The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns and drink the blood of Huns! Let's start over again, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and go to the North

Tianque!"

Zhao Kui and Zhao Fan couldn't help but burst into tears as they listened to the reading. Justice was at home in their hearts. Although the court was suing for peace, the seeds of resistance and the ambition to recover would not be wiped out.

If the two guessed correctly, Zhao Tai should have arrived at the camp. In this way, he told them that the imperial court was cowarded and would not fight, but the Qi army would continue its ambition of restoration and clean up the old rivers and mountains.

"Let's go! With King Linyi in charge of the affairs of the world, you and I, brothers, have nothing to worry about!" Zhao Kui's eyes filled with tears, and he and Zhao Fan slowly disappeared into the wilderness.
