Unbeknownst to him, a soldier suddenly came to report, saying that Zong Ze had arrived outside the camp, and only brought less than dozens of horsemen to come to see him. Wang Shan didn't expect Zong Ze to really come, and he only brought less than a dozen riders. Not to mention whether Zong Ze has seen through this Hongmen banquet or not, with his courage, he is already amazed in his heart.

"Zong Laoshuai is really a hero of the world, I might as well be too." Wang Shan sighed, his eyes showed a little loneliness, and he couldn't help but say. When the generals heard this, many people also changed color.

Immediately, Wang Shan discussed with everyone a little, and then led the crowd to welcome him in. I saw that at the gate, a seventy-year-old man, old and strong, a golden armor looks even more majestic, a gust of wind blowing, only to see his white beard fluttering, his eyes are resolute, such as bursts of fine light, and there is a shameful righteousness on the body.

And beside him, leading the horse for him, was a sturdy man in his thirties, whose eyes were brighter than those of the old man, and a ray of sunlight fell, and his whole body seemed to be full of light in an instant, making it difficult for people to look directly.

Just these two people, as if they have taken the color of heaven and earth, attracted everyone's attention, and people had to put their eyes on them.

Cao Cheng's eyes slipped, and he hurriedly rushed to meet Wang Shan. Sure enough, this old man and one strong man are none other than Zong Ze and Yue Fei. Wang Shan and his generals were all secretly surprised. Zong Ze smiled and greeted everyone politely, without the slightest arrogance, but had some intimate feelings.

Immediately the people went into the main account. As soon as Zong Ze sat down, his face was condensed, although his smile was restrained, his expression was solemn, he had always acted vigorously and resolutely, and he did not beat around the bush, as soon as he came, he went straight to the point, and spoke in public, saying: "Now is the time when the country is in trouble, Bixia has just become a big treasure, and he and Prime Minister Li Cheng eradicated Cai's together, which shows that Bixia has a decisive and resolute style." Not long ago, with the prestige of the world, even Deng Yun, the 'dragon barbarian' who dominated Yanyun, was willing to vote. At present, there are traces of recovery in the Great Song Dynasty, and it will not take decades for the Great Song Dynasty to recover the glory of the original peaceful and prosperous era!!

But the time does not wait for me, the Jin people seized our land, occupied Taiyuan, and now they are trying to annex the Central Plains, and they are about to destroy my Great Song Dynasty. Those who have a little blood are inseparable from the enemy. All of you here are heroes, heroes in the world, and now they have gathered so many troops, when the country is in a hurry, it is just time to make meritorious contributions and leave their names in history, so they are manly husbands!

But you do not take revenge on the Jin people who occupy our land and kill our people, but you oppose the officials and soldiers who defend the country and resist the enemy, so that the Jin people take advantage of the fishermen, and both are defeated, which is painful for the relatives and happy for the enemy. Isn't this contrary to your original intention of gathering the uprising in the first place? The old man has been fighting on the battlefield all his life, and it is not a pity to die, and he has come today, and he has reported that he has the will to die, and I hope that all the heroes and heroes can change their minds, otherwise the old man would rather die here!! ”

Zong Ze's words were generous and righteous, and everyone present was moved. Some people couldn't help but cry secretly. Guan Ling and Yan Chengfang knew that everyone had a bad heart for Zong Ze, and they were secretly ashamed, their bodies trembled, and they didn't dare to look at Zong Ze's gaze when they lowered their heads.

As soon as Zong Ze said this, many leaders of the thief army were moved, and Wang Shan was also asked, and he couldn't make a sound. Seeing this, Cao Cheng's heart tightened, fearing that everyone would change their minds, so he hurriedly cast a look at several handover leaders. A bald man dressed in asceticism suddenly shouted, glared and drank: "Old man, you speak lightly!" Who doesn't know that the Zhao court is mediocre and incompetent, if Zhao Huan will be like his old man in the future, favoring traitors and persecuting innocent people, what can I do!? ”

"This big brother, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future. I will wait to see the power in front of us, the ambition of the golden man and the wolf, cruel and ferocious, but if I enter the Central Plains, I am afraid that the people of the Great Song Dynasty will be in the midst of water and fire, and suffer all kinds of torture. Zong Ze replied sharply, and his voice fell.

Many people shouted angrily that in the past, the Jin people slaughtered the people in Taiyuan and raped women, which can be described as all evil and outrageous. Many thieves were enraged, and if the Jin soldiers were outside the camp at this time, I am afraid that this one of them would have to lead the troops out to fight with them.

Cao Cheng saw that this bald man was making it difficult, and he couldn't open his mouth, so he hurriedly cast a look at the other person. Unexpectedly, that person had been stimulated by Zong Ze's words in his heart, and he had no intention of harming him, so he turned a blind eye to Cao Cheng.

"This waste!! At this critical moment, they all gave me a retreat!! What a bastard!! Cao Cheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and suddenly his hands secretly pressed a few sons. Everyone had already discussed, but when they saw that the sons fell, they attacked together, and the sword and axe men had already been ambushed in the tent outside, and when they heard the sound of killing, they would rush to fight.

At this moment, it was as if two golden rays of light shot over, stabbing Cao Cheng's eyes and heart with a pain, and he couldn't help but shudder. It turned out that Yue Fei was staring over, and that bright and upright look made Cao Cheng like a ghost seeing a Buddha, and there was nothing to hide.

"Don't be afraid!! This Yue Fei can't toss for long!! As long as these sons are turned over, he will immediately be crushed into pulp by everyone along with Zong Ze's old horseman!! ”

Cao Cheng thought about it, gritted his teeth, and was about to make a move. Unexpectedly, Yan Chengfang next to him suddenly slapped and held it down.

There was a loud bang, which frightened Cao Cheng and shrank back. Everyone was also amazed. At this time, Guan Ling suddenly shouted, jumped out, and shouted: "The old man of the sect is loyal and righteous, and his generosity and righteousness make me Guan Ling admire him, even if I fight for this life today, I must ensure that he is not lost!" ”

"Count me as a strict one!! Zong Lao Shuai is right!! Now the Jin people are our enemies, and if they are killed by the Jin people into the Central Plains, the consequences will be unimaginable. Although I am a rough man, I can still understand things! It's a big deal to wait for the Jin people, if Zhao Huan is also a faint king, I just have to rebel again!? Yan Chengfang's thinking was simple, and his throat was pulled, and everyone was deafening.

When Yue Fei heard that everyone was harming Zong Ze's heart, he couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly stood up and covered Zong Ze's side. Zong Ze instead looked like Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged, he did not change color at all, looked at Wang Shan firmly, and said with a smile unhurriedly: "If the leader of the king refuses to listen to the old man's words, he can come to take the old man's head." ”

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but hesitate when they saw Guan Ling and Yan Chengfang defect. And many people were moved by Zong Ze's spirit, and they had already surrendered.

Wang Shan let out a long sigh, he knew that when Guan Ling and Yan Chengfang defected to the enemy, the matter was a foregone conclusion. After all, none of the generals in the tent were Zong Ze and Yue Fei's opponents, and if they wanted to succeed, the two fierce generals Guan Ling and Yan Chengfang would never be missing. At present, there are many people who have the heart to take refuge, Wang Shan knows that the general trend has gone, so he hurriedly got up and bowed and said: "Old Yuan Rong is the hero of the world, I, Wang Shan, am convinced, since I want to use us to kill the enemy, dare not obey the order!" ”

As soon as Wang Shan's words came out, all the generals took refuge one after another. Zong Ze was overjoyed and couldn't help but daxiao. Seeing this, Cao Cheng felt dizzy for a while, and was afraid that everyone would say that he was planning to frame Zong Ze, so he gritted his teeth, but he didn't stop doing anything, suddenly pulled out the sharp blade on his waist, and shouted angrily: "Brothers, don't be confused by this old man's rhetoric, the court recruited us and others, but I was just asked to wait and send them to death!" ”

Cao Cheng shouted, and the whole person had already jumped up and rushed towards Zong Ze. Guan Ling was prepared, hurried over, grabbed Cao Cheng's arm and shook him on the ground. Cao Cheng screamed miserably, and was smashed as if all his internal organs were shattered.

"You sinister villain, Zong Lao Shuai trusts you so much, but you want to take his life, it's really not a pity to die!!" Yue Fei's face was angry, and he was about to rush to break Cao Cheng. Zong Ze shouted 'slow' and said slowly: "Such a repetitive villain is not tolerated by the world, so why should you get your hands dirty." Let it be left to the king's chieftain. ”

As soon as Zong Ze's words fell, Guan Ling and Yan Chengfang had already arrested Cao Cheng. Cao Cheng still didn't give up, like a mad dog, he urgently persuaded Wang Shan to kill Zong Ze. Wang Shannian made a lot of achievements in Cao, and he couldn't bear to be killed, so he taught Cao Cheng to be expelled from the camp.

At this point, Zong Ze will subdue the 600,000 or 700,000 thief army led by Wang Shan, busy and specialize in preparing military rations, and call on the whole army to rectify the drill with loyalty.

Among them, Zong Ze had the intention to cultivate Yue Fei, Guan Ling and Yan Chengfang were willing to join Yue Fei's command, so he named Yue Fei as a general in the army, commanding 8,000 troops, with Zhang Xian, Guan Ling, Yan Chengfang, He Yuanqing, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, etc. as the team to form a large army. Yue Fei was extremely moved when he saw that Zong Ze trusted him so much, and after selecting the soldiers, he worked hard to train the soldiers and horses day and night to repay the country's righteousness.

Zong Ze then went up again and reported to Bianjing, to the effect that Taiyuan is the foundation of the ancestors, and not an inch of land can be ceded. Now that the Jianghuai bandits have been pacified, and there are 600,000 or 700,000 soldiers in the army, they only need to be trained, so they can continue to look forward to the march of Taiyuan and regain their homeland. Moreover, now that the capital has been strengthened, the weapons are also sufficient, and the morale is brave. I hope that Bixia will not stop the anger of the people and make preparations for taking back Taiyuan as soon as possible.

Just when Zong Ze was playing to the court, the other side was in the Yunzhou area, but there was a drastic change. First of all, the Jin soldiers led by Deng Yun and Jin Wushu are still facing each other in Dongming, and the Jin soldiers are afraid of the firearms in the city and dare not attack in a hurry, and Deng Yun saw that the morale of the Jin soldiers was high, and the ironclad army was powerful, and they did not want to fight easily, so the two armies fell into a stalemate, and the confrontation lasted for several months, and the two armies spent a lot of baggage every day.

As the attacker, the supply in the rear is not as fast as the barbarian army, not to mention that the cavalry under the command of the barbarian army has always been good at fighting, and they are afraid of being attacked by the barbarian army to supply the team. Therefore, while Jin Wushu was cautious, he sent back news to the country, urging the Song soldiers to send troops as soon as possible.

Finally, in February of the fourth year of Jingkang. Cao Rong led the order of the imperial court and led 10,000 soldiers to secretly attack Yunzhou by taking a trail. The barbarians did not expect it, and were repeatedly broken by the Song soldiers. Cao Rong was overjoyed, and marched all the way to Huairen, the county seat of Yunzhou. His son Cao Ning, but he was afraid of going deep into the hinterland, so he persuaded Cao Rong.

"Daddy, as the saying goes, there is no good step, and it is not a good thing for our army to advance so quickly. The child thought that he should first investigate, know the reality of the barbarian army, and then march forward. ”
