When the Song army heard the sound of gold, they stopped their pursuit and evacuated the Jin army camp, the battlefield was covered with the corpses of the soldiers of the two armies, and the wounded were especially wailing.

The Song army won a big victory in this battle, and the Jin army immediately began to be chaotic after the big array was broken, Wanyan Sai did not find that the momentum was not good, and immediately began to collect troops and withdraw to his large camp, even so, he still let the Song army chase and kill them for a while, and brought out 5,000 soldiers and horses, only less than 3,000 people went back, and the loss was about half, which made the morale of the Jin army even lower.

After the Song army chased to the Jin army camp, it was also counterattacked by the Jin army, and the attack was blocked, Meng Zongzheng saw that it was not early, and the two armies fought for a day, and the soldiers were quite tired, so they ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and end the day's war.

Gao Huaiyuan also began to gather his subordinates in the baggage battalion, withdrew, after counting, his heart was smoking, such a big battle, they were simply carrying out a one-sided slaughter, no wonder people said that the defeat was like a mountain, when the Jin soldiers were defeated and retreated, where was there still a little fighting spirit, each left their butts to them, they were not fighting, but slaughtering, wantonly behind the Jin soldiers, killing for a long time, but the three hundred soldiers brought out, but only a few people died, basically as if there was no loss, This made Gao Huaiyuan and the others feel extremely happy.

Since they came to Xiangyang, although they fought a few battles, but they fought very hard, one was in a state of passive defense, and the Jin army fought, those battles were forced to take the defensive way, and they were really aggrieved, but today's battle followed the army, they each had enough addiction to killing, even if it was the weakest Xiangyong, they also had their own gains, and each smiled on the way back, with a look of excitement, and boasted to the people around them about how brave they were just now, how to kill the enemy, how many they killed, etc., Each looked triumphant.

Gao Huaiyuan didn't restrain them, after all, after the war, everyone had to relax, as long as they didn't go out of line, it was okay to laugh, but soon Gao Huaiyuan couldn't laugh, because they saw such a scene on the way back.

On the way back of the Song army, Gao Huaiyuan saw that some Song troops were cleaning up the battlefield, and some of the wounded of the Jin army were lying on the ground with their hands outstretched, wailing and begging to spare their lives and save them, but these Song soldiers walked in front of them indifferently, and then raised their knives and guns and plunged them fiercely, the wounded immediately let out a scream, and the pleading stopped abruptly, so the Song army cleaned up all the way, only collected their own wounded, and the rest of the Jin army wounded did not leave a single one, and all of them were killed.

This scene made Gao Huaiyuan a little uncomfortable, thinking that the people in the war can no longer be measured with a normal attitude, people have lost their sympathy, although these people are Jin soldiers, but many of them are also Han Chinese, if it is on the battlefield, Gao Huaiyuan feels that he will kill them without mercy, but now that the battle is over, if he is still allowed to kill them, Gao Huaiyuan asks himself if he can do this.

Looking at the continuous unfolding of this scene, Gao Huaiyuan was a little emotional, he remembered Cao Zhi's seven-step poem, which was born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other!

And at this time, a few injured Jin soldiers also appeared in front of them, and without waiting for Gao Huaiyuan's orders, a few villagers immediately went up and stabbed them to death, making Gao Huaiyuan open his mouth, but he didn't say anything, and finally could only sigh.

The Song and Jin countries are now feuding, especially the Song people, who simply hate the Jin country to the extreme, and the contradictions between the two countries are impossible to reconcile, although he knows that now the Song and Jin are at war, it is a stupid choice, but he can only join it, become a part of this war, and have no power to change anything, after this battle, I am afraid that the Jin country will use up all its strength, so it will not be long before they perish.

And in this Southern Song Dynasty, how many people could have thought that when the Dajin Kingdom fell, the Great Song Dynasty would lose the last barrier, like a weak woman, who was torn off the last piece of clothing, and could only watch the Mongol iron hooves ravage?

As soon as he thought of this, Gao Huaiyuan's heart became heavy, and the joy of winning just now was swept away, and he silently rode on his horse and walked towards the place where the army was assembled.

After the general's order was handed down, the auxiliary soldiers in the back of the army began to camp on the west of Zaoyang City, and Gao Huaiyuan's baggage battalion, because he participated in the daytime battle, was exempted from the fatigue of continuing to camp, and he could rest on the spot.

After arranging for the soldiers and generals under his command to rest, Meng Hui found Gao Huaiyuan with a smile on his face and said: "You performed quite well today, and you kept up very timely, if you hadn't followed so quickly, the foolish brother might not have been able to tear apart the Jin Army's front so quickly!" Brother's knife skills are really good, I also noticed you in the battle just now, and no one in the ordinary golden soldiers can stop your knife! I'm not as good as you in martial arts! ”

Gao Huaiyuan smiled and said: "Brother Meng is polite, this is all thanks to your sword skills, the guy is easy to use, so he is naturally a little more powerful!" But I envy you, Brother Meng, for your heroic posture when you waved your army to the Jin Soldier Array, which made the younger brother admire! ”

Meng Hui led the army to break through the Jin Soldier Front today, he was in a pretty good mood, pulled Gao Huaiyuan to sit down, and chatted, Meng Hui quickly saw from Gao Huaiyuan's face that he seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked with a smile: "You have won a battle today, you should be happy, I see how you seem to have something on your mind!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan wiped the blood stains on the big knife in his hand, glanced to the north, and said with a wry smile: "What can I do!" ”

Meng Hui took Gao Huaiyuan as a friend, and he didn't see it, patted the armor on his shoulder and said, "What's the better to talk to the foolish brother, why be bored in your heart?" ”

Gao Huaiyuan heard Meng Hui say this, and his heart moved slightly, Meng Hui, as a well-known general, should have a different insight from ordinary people, maybe he can understand his own thoughts! So after thinking about it for a while, he smeared the big knife with a thin layer of oil and handed it to Jia Qi to put away to prevent rust, and then turned to Meng Heng and said:

"After today's war, the younger brother felt a lot, the feud between the Song and Jin countries for a hundred years, and the war between each other for a hundred years, it seems to be an endless ending, in my opinion, the Jin Kingdom attacked the Song Dynasty this time, it is really unwise to the extreme, they underestimate our Song Dynasty too much!

After this battle, the Jin State may not be able to bargain for anything from the Great Song Dynasty, but it is just a waste of the national strength of the two countries, what is the benefit to the two countries? The younger brother wants to ask Brother Meng if he has ever thought about the current situation? ”

Meng Hui nodded, and also wiped his waist knife with a cloth, while saying: "How did you think of these things, we are generals, we just know how to act according to orders, thinking so much is also a fantasy, the Jin State has bullied my Great Song Dynasty for a long time, and they are also to blame for doing this, now is not the time for them to establish a new Jin Kingdom, and they still want to swallow our Great Song Dynasty, I think they are just fools!" This battle will definitely make them hit their heads and bleed back! In my opinion, the Jin Kingdom is now coming to attack our Great Song Dynasty, this is looking for death, they have Mongolia in the north, the Red Jacket Army in the east, and the party in the west, but at this time they are coming to attack us, as you said, I think their gold lord is self-defeating! Since they are looking for death, then let's give them a ride! When he said this, Meng Heng was quite arrogant.

Gao Huaiyuan nodded and said, "Brother Meng is really heroic!" It is really a blessing for the younger brother to be able to get married to Brother Meng in this life! But Brother Meng didn't know and thought about it in the depths, the scene when the Jin State was in power, the Jin Kingdom was newly established at that time, full of vigor, and the soldiers and horses were very strong, so he signed a maritime alliance with our first dynasty, and later joined forces to destroy Da Liao! But what about then? I don't know if Brother Meng can see that the current situation is somewhat similar to the beginning! ”

Gao Huaiyuan didn't say it directly, but mentioned the fact that Huizong and Jin signed a maritime alliance at the beginning, and then Song and Jin joined forces to destroy Da Liao, so as to remind Meng Hui.

Meng Hui stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at Gao Huaiyuan, with a look of surprise on his face, then lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "What you said is really a bit similar!" I see that you seem to have something to say, brother, you might as well tell the foolish brother directly! You and I are not outsiders, there is nothing bad to say! ”

Gao Huaiyuan saw that Meng Heng was also an understanding person, so he said: "In my opinion, in fact, the Jin Kingdom is not terrible, they have no chance of winning this battle, but as Brother Meng said, they are sincerely looking for death, but Brother Meng has ever thought that once the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, what will happen next?" What will happen to us in the north? ”

After hearing Gao Huaiyuan's words, Meng Hui immediately fell into deep thought, and gradually a worried look appeared on his face, and then looked up at Gao Huaiyuan and said, "Brother, you are worried about Genghis Khan of Mongolia!" Do you mean, as soon as the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, then next, our Song people will have to face the Mongol army? Isn't it too early to worry about it? ”

Gao Huaiyuan smiled and said: "Although the younger brother is not very old, but he has heard a lot of things about the Mongolian army, if the Jin army is a jackal, then the Mongolians are definitely a group of evil tigers, their barbarism, far more than a hundred times more than the Jin country, this I am afraid that Brother Meng will also have heard of this, Genghis Khan since the rise in the Mongolian steppe, has never stopped a day of conquest of the surrounding countries, even their master Dajin country, now they have lost the central capital, moved to Bianliang!"

That Genghis Khan is a hero, but he is a complete brute and a robber! His logic was that as long as all the nations and peoples who did not submit to him were his enemies, then he would kill all those who refused to submit to him, and his followers were also educated by him to be a bunch of beasts who only knew how to kill and rob, and their methods of dealing with the enemy were unimaginably cruel!

And our Great Song Dynasty is rich in the world, this is a well-known thing in the world, the Mongols are actually a gang of robbers, they are like locusts, they only know how to burn and loot, but do not produce, now it seems that our Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia have no interests to intersect, but once Genghis Khan led the group of locusts under his command, after gnawing the Jin Kingdom and Western Xia, they will look for the next target to gnaw, so who is the next target? I'm afraid I don't need to say this anymore! ”

Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but tell Meng Heng about the ferocity of the Mongolian army that he knew.

After Meng Heng heard this, his brows furrowed, although he had also heard some things about Mongolia and Genghis Khan, but no one had told him that Genghis Khan and his Mongolian army were such murderous people, so he was shocked, and asked for a while: "This is really the first time I have heard of it, brother, you are young, how do you know these things?" ”

Gao Huaiyuan had already thought of the excuse, and immediately replied: "Brother's mentor is a master who likes to travel all over the world, these things are what he has seen with his own eyes, how can it be fake, now I am worried about this matter, I am afraid that once the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, our Great Song Dynasty may have to face an even more terrible enemy!" ”

Meng Hui was relieved after hearing this, but Gao Huaiyuan's words also made him feel a great impact, and the joy of victory in the first battle just now was immediately diluted a lot.

Meng Hui didn't speak, Gao Huaiyuan didn't speak, the two of them just silently wiped the waist knife in their hands, Gao Huaiyuan knew that his words today must have touched Meng Hui, I hope that Meng Hui can see clearly the huge enemy in the distance after listening to his words, and when he masters the military power in the future, he can make more preparations for the Han people!

Gao Huaiyuan stretched out his hand to beckon Huang Yan, who was chatting with nothing, asked for a Liuyun scimitar produced by Gaojiazhuang from him, stretched out his hand and handed it to Meng Hui, and then said: "This is a little bit of my brother's heart, although it is not as good as the glaive knife that Brother Meng gave me, but it can be regarded as so-so!" This knife is called Liuyun, it is made by the younger brother to find someone, compared to the hand knife used in the army now, it is more suitable for chopping, and it should be stronger, I dare not say that it is very good, but it is indeed a good guy to kill the enemy and defend himself! Brother Meng seems to be going to be on the battlefield all year round in the future, so it's good to take it for self-defense! ”

Meng Hui was not polite to him, reached out and took the Liuyun scimitar, grabbed the long handle with his right hand, pressed the tension spring with his left hand, and pulled out the Liuyun scimitar with a bang, seeing the fine texture and peculiar knife shape on the knife body, he stretched out his fingers and flicked it on the knife body, and the Liuyun scimitar made a pleasant clear sound, so he blurted out: "Good knife!" ”

After saying that, he got up and danced a few times with this knife, pulled out a few knife flowers, and finally held it in both hands, and shouted hard with a certain oblique angle and suddenly chopped down, and slashed heavily on a small tree, the small tree just trembled slightly, and immediately responded to the sound of dwarfing, the upper half of the tree fell on the spot, and the pestle fell on the ground, and then looked at the broken stubble on the tree, smooth and smooth, not even a little stubble.

Meng Hui was slightly surprised, held the knife in his hand, and quickly looked at the knife edge, but saw that the knife edge was not damaged at all, and the light was as bright as new, so he was overjoyed and said to Gao Huaiyuan: "Good knife!" This knife is very easy to chop, I didn't expect it to be so powerful! I'm afraid this knife is worth a lot of money! Since the brother wants to give it to the foolish brother, the foolish brother is disrespectful! Without hesitation, he put it away.

Meng Hui is also a person who knows the goods, and immediately fell in love with this Liuyun scimitar, treating it as a treasure, quickly wiped the blade with a soft cloth, carefully put it into the sheath, and then hung it close to his waist, patted the scabbard, as if he was afraid of losing it!

"The knife is used to kill the enemy, this knife Brother Meng just needs to use it boldly, in case it is damaged, he is not afraid, the brother will send Brother Meng a new one, but don't let it stay in the sheath, there is no chance to drink the enemy's blood!" Gao Huaiyuan said with a smile.

"Brother, don't worry, I understand your intentions, I wrote down your words today, but you and I are just a small officer, we can't control this kind of thing, now we just have to fight our battle, if there is really such a day, the Mongols dare to covet our Great Song Dynasty, then Meng wants them to also see the power of this knife! Haha......" Meng Heng laughed out loud and reached out and patted Gao Huaiyuan's shoulder a few times.

"I said brother, I see that these teenagers under your command are good, very much to be a soldier, if you can't join the army, you might as well ask them if they are willing to be soldiers, as long as they are willing, the foolish brother promises not to treat them badly, temper it, these boys can become great weapons!" After Meng Hui and Gao Huaiyuan talked and laughed for a while, he put down the matter of Genghis Khan's Mongolian army, dragged Gao Huaiyuan aside with his shoulders on his back, and whispered to Huang Yan and the others, and whispered to him.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately pulled out a few black lines on his head, Meng Heng was very poisonous, seeing that there was no hope of beating his own idea, he turned to the next best thing, and hit the idea on the young men under him, and there was no such way to pick up cheap! These boys have been trained by him with a lot of effort, and after a few battles, there are now less than thirty people left, and this guy actually wants to dig him up, it's really greedy!

"I said Brother Meng, after all, now I am still the commander of the baggage battalion, and I still follow the army to do things, you are digging people under me like this, do you want me to be the commander of the light pole? No way, no way! I'm going to have to rely on these guys to help me! Gao Huaiyuan immediately shook his head like a rattle, and rejected Meng Hui's request in one bite.

"Commander Light? What is a Commander of the Light Pole? Meng Hui couldn't understand Gao Huaiyuan's term, so he asked him.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately realized that he had missed his mouth again, the term commander didn't seem to exist now, but a title for military commanders in later generations, so he smiled and said: "It's not something, this thing...... It's not a thing, it's a ...... Sweat! I'm all confused by you! Anyway, don't talk about this, these boys are all my helpers, dig them for you, and I won't have to play! Let's go back and talk about it! When the battle is over, if I go back, ask them if they would like to stay in the army with you! That's all it takes! Now that the camp is set up, let's go into the camp and rest! ”

After saying that, he ran back to his baggage camp and shouted to the villagers who were sitting on the ground: "All stand up and march into the camp!" ”

Meng Heng shook his head and went to gather his generals, muttering all the way: "The commander is not a thing? ……”
