Gu Qinniang and Fang Jinzhi took tens of thousands of soldiers to escort supplies to the people south. The team for more than ten miles was even crying. Whether they were willing or not, tens of thousands of prisoners could only drive them to the south.

Nanyang is the gateway to the southwest of Henan. Yue Fei and Zongze successively transferred 200,000 to Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Yingchang Prefecture, Ruzhou, Nanyang 200,000, Baojia Army, and Volunteer Army. In just a few months, 200,000 troops fled and surrendered. When Cai Yan led his troops north again, he had not yet stepped into Yingchang Prefecture. Tangzhou and Ruzhou all the prefectures and counties hung the "Ming" banners, and the prefect of Yingchang Prefecture even fled with a hundred people. For a moment, countless gentry and officials fled.

Yangzhou is too far away. Even after hearing about the miserable gentry and officials of Yangzhou, the gentry and officials of the Jingji Road seemed to have heard the heavenly book. But when Cai Yan raised his sword to the wealthy families in Nanyang, he was really scared.

Unlike the popular propaganda practices between the two Huaihe Rivers, this time Cai Hua did not actively publicize and appease the people's hearts, and even intensify the suspicion of wealthy households escaping.

The Ming army did not speak, and countless gentry and wealthy families were at a loss, so they could only run to Kaifeng and Chang'an overnight with countless gold and silver treasures. The escape of Yingchang prefect further aggravated this panic. However, their escape was the same as Cai Yan's trick.

From Nanyang to Fangcheng, turn northwest to Liang County, Ruzhou, then enter Yichuan, go north along the Yihe River to Yique Pass, and pass Yique Pass. After passing Yique Pass, you will be considered as entering Luoyang's heart.

The weather was getting warmer and the frozen soil was thawing. During the day, the march became muddy and difficult to move forward. Cai Yan could only temporarily abandon the heavy artillery division and led the first, second and seventh divisions to attack Luoyang first. However, he did not expect that as soon as the army crossed Yique Pass, an old man stood in the middle of the road blocking the way. It was neither someone else, but the veteran Zong Ze who was angry.

First, second, and seventh divisions didn't like the generals of the Song army very much. They didn't care whether Zong Ze was a prestigious veteran of the Song State. When the front army saw the old man angrily blocking the road, they went forward without saying a word and carried the old man to the side of the road. As for the soldiers following him, under the threat of countless soldiers and muskets, how could they dare to really anger the lawless soldiers?

After Yue Fei became a general of the Ming army, when he saw veteran Zong Ze again, Cai Huang lost the previous attention, but he should show some respect, and when he respected, he still gave him enough respect.

When he saw Zong Ze standing by the road, Cai Yan brought his group of people to the front and jumped off the war horse. Yue Fei and Fang Tianding followed closely on both sides.

Cai Yan didn't care about the gloomy anger on the old man's face, and took the initiative to clasp his fists and said, "The old general is not at the empty Yique Pass, and our army has already crossed the pass. Could it be that the old general wants to ambush the boy here?"

After saying that, Cai Yan looked at the mountains on both sides as if he was looking like a ruffian. Seeing his face, Zong Ze felt anger for no reason. After using a while, he forced his chest to swell. After a look at Yue Fei who was silent, he sneered.

"You treacherous boy, you tried your best to arrange a false story, just wanting a follower? It's really treacherous and cunning!"

"hey-hey……"

Cai Yan showed a treacherous smile of a fox who successfully stole the mouth, walked to Zong Ze's side, and watched the soldiers walking silently with the old man...

"If the old general has something to do, he will make it clear that such a child's provocation is not wise enough, nor is it open enough for a gentleman..."

"you……"

Zong Ze suddenly turned around and just raised his arm. Yue Fei and Fang Tianding pressed the knife forward together.

"hehe……"

Cai Yan pointed at the two generals who pressed the knife, then lowered his head and smiled: "The old general has been floating and rising for decades. When you know whether the boy's story is arranged, it is better for you to deduce the old general's current situation."

Zong Ze's expression changed drastically, and Cai Huang just lowered his head and kicked the stone under his feet...

"The first time the veteran general disobeyed the military order, it was when Zhao Huan ordered the Hebei army to rescue Kaifeng immediately. The veteran general led his troops to Ligudu alone."

"The second time when the old general was disobedient to the military order was when he led his troops south alone to rescue Kaifeng."

"When the third time he disobeyed the military order, it was Zhao Gou who ordered General Zhao Gou to lead his troops south. It was Zhao Gou who wanted the veteran general to go to Zhenjiang, but the veteran general did not cross the Yellow River."

"If you don't obey the emperor's order three times, no matter whether the general makes sense or not, the old general has left a bad impression in Zhao Gou's heart. If Zhao Gou was not really no one to be available, if the boy hadn't forced him too much, the old general would have become a villager in the countryside at this time."

...

"Zhao Gou has no one available, and all reinforcements are defeated. The old general defeated several Jin soldiers alone. If the old general is abolished without reasonable reasons, it will only aggravate the dissatisfaction of the lieutenant general. Therefore, when the boy forced Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou could only use the old general to lead the troops again."

"It's just... the old general gave Zhao Gou a chance to completely abandon you."

"General Yue was defeated..."

"The veteran general was defeated..."

"Then Qin Hui tied up the old general and General Yue."

Cai Yan looked at the old man with an old man spotted face and sighed: "The old general must have seen Li Gang. As expected by boy, if Li Gang was not dead at this time, he would have been tied up by Qin Hui and sent to Guanzhong. Old general, you... are just the envoys of Zhao Gou's peace talks with boy."

Cai Yan lowered his head and kicked the stones under his feet back and forth...

"The old general must have spoken the words of the boy to Li Gang and Qin Hui. Guanzhong did not have enough money and food, and no salt was available. Song State could not defeat the Jin State, and was easily taken away by the boy. Sichuan and Shu, Henan. If you don't want to be cut off by countless people and soldiers, you can only temporarily stabilize the boy."

"Since more than ten years ago, there are not many Song people who can really say a few words to the boy. Qin Hui tied up the old general and General Yue, and according to common sense, Chai Jin humiliated Jin Zhi in front of countless people and humiliated the boy. General Yue is Chai Jin's Shangguan, and the old general strongly advocates the recommended General Yue..."

"According to common sense, the boy will definitely kill the old general. General Yue's head vents his anger. Only when the boy is calm can he have a conversation with the defeated State of Song."

"But... the boy didn't kill you. Not only did he release the old general, General Yue also became a general of our army. What would Li Gang and Qin Hui think?"

"hehe……"

Cai Yan thought about the little things over the past ten years, looked at Zong Ze, whose face changed drastically, and smiled: "Since the time when I bought the salt bar on Huainan East Road, I knew that as long as the boy stepped back a little, you would definitely climb up the pole and force a big step!"

"Maipu Yanba Rushi on the East Road of Huainan, Jiangnan Bojin Rebellion, 20 million guan Buipu Liu asked for the island, smashed flower stones, established the third division, and the young army... so the same!"

Cai Yan smiled and said, "You are too smart. If you let you know that the boy has a slight sign of retreating, you will try every means to get closer to a big step until you force the boy to retreat without any further..."

Cai Yan kicked the stone under his feet away, looked at the veteran Zong Ze, and smiled and said, "Does the veteran general want to know why the Yingtian royal family surrendered to Mingguo? Do you know how the boy told them ten years ago?"

Looking at Zong Ze, who had a wild expression, Cai Yan just smiled.

"More than ten years ago, the boy concluded that the Song State could not defend the world. It was because his uncle Cai Bian learned the boy's words from his mother that even though the boy was stabbed by Song Jiang and Hua Rong that day, his uncle still besieged the Cai Mansion with soldiers and forced the boy to enter the capital to be Zhao Huan's companion."

"More than ten years ago, the boy was sure that Song State could not defend the world, so he told Yingtian clan Zhao Zizhi that as long as Song State lost Kaifeng, the boy would not allow Taizong Zhao Kuangyi's lineage to continue to be an official family, and the Song State's official family could only be inherited by Taizu Zhao Kuangyin."
