Zong Ze, who broke up with Li Jing in Fengqiu, rushed Zhao Bushi, Yue Fei and Zhang Bofen to recruit soldiers on the southwest road.

In order to help the king, Zhang Shuye took away almost all the Xiangjun from Jingxi Road.

There are no ready-made troops on the Southwest Road of Jingxi Road. New soldiers are recruited to raise food and money again to stop the Jin soldiers from heading north, and to tap the potential of local war. This will take time.

Under Li Jing's reminder, Zong Ze, who knew this, turned his attention to Henan Prefecture.

There was no need for Zong Ze and Chen Sui to hand over military affairs. No one handed over to him when he went to Xiangyang Prefecture. However, Zhang Shuye gave him all the things he should give him. Chen Sui was similar to him. The magistrate who handed over had already died in battle under the city of Bianliang.

Zong Ze couldn't figure out whether it was the foreshadowing left by the official family and Zhang Shuye and others. He simply took Chen Sui and went to Zhengzhou and Luoyang according to Li Jing's suggestion.

Go and gather the remaining troops of Zhe Yanzhi.

Zhe Yanzhi was the seventh famous general of the Zhe family in the Song Lin Mansion. His father repeatedly defeated the Western Xia army in the past.

Zhe Yanzhi served as the deputy envoy of Xuanfu as the chief envoy, and led 120,000 troops and the commander of the Privy Council, Li Hui, to defend the Yellow River. He was in Luoyang and Zhengzhou, and could not stop the Jingou West Route Army for two months.

This made Zong Ze feel incredible.

There are 120,000 people, even if they are pigs and sheep placed on the mountain, it is impossible for the golden dog to be killed and caught in one go.

However, Zhengzhou and Luoyang were all occupied by Golden Dogs.

The cavalry unscrupulously arrested the Song army everywhere and angered Zong Ze.

Within a month, Zong Ze and Chen Sui had more than a dozen battles with the Jindog Cavalry and rescued more than 4,000 Song troops who were driven away by the Jindog and arrested.

Finally, I met Zhe Yanzhi and Li Hui.

The two of them had only three thousand soldiers and horses, and they were nestled in a bandit village.

The defeated statue was so miserable. When he heard that Zong Ze came quickly, he couldn't wait to come over and burst into tears when he saw Zong Ze.

"Ship Zong, I am guilty. I am ashamed of the government. Because I dereliction of duty, Bianliang was destroyed and the government was held hostage. I am a sinner of the Song Dynasty!"

Zong Ze smiled bitterly.

He sent a letter to Zhe Yanzhi, and Zhe Yanzhi also wrote back to him.

Zong Ze also knew a little about the situation of Zhe Yanzhijun.

The army under his command was originally a mob that was temporarily gathered by the troops who served the king last year.

Take it to support Taiyuan.

Who would have thought that he had just arrived at Hedong Road.

Taiyuan is lost.

As the Jin army advanced south, he retreated all the way and retreated to the south bank of the Yellow River according to the imperial military orders.

In the past year, Zheyanzhi's army has not received a penny of military pay, and the military rations needed have been sought nearby.

Food is also money, and it is even more important than money during war.

Without using swords and guns, there is no such thing as good as that.

These 120,000 troops are of varying quality.

Many of the Song army's bad habits were infected.

Zhe Yanzhi was not able to provide them with food and drink, so they did it themselves.

There are complaints everywhere.

I am even more reluctant to pay for it.

Military discipline is the guarantee of combat power. Zhe Yanzhi's army has entered a vicious cycle, so what combat power does it have?

Perhaps Zhe Yanzhi was not worried about defending the city, but it was beyond his ability to stop the Golden Dog from advancing east.

Seeing that the two groups of Jingou met and bypassed Zhengzhou, Zhe Yanzhi had to send troops to attack.

Wanyan Zonghan returns to the army.

The army and the golden dog collapsed as soon as they contacted.

He ran all over the mountains and fields, and also lost all the passes such as Zhengzhou and Sishui.

"It's useless to say that these are the first time. In the afternoon, we should try our best to get the dispersed soldiers back and explain them clearly. Those who are harming the local area and oppressing the people should be beheaded!"

Zong Ze had no intention of dealing with Zhe Yanzhi, and he did not have the power to deal with a Propaganda envoy or a prefect.

There is no money or food or salary, and Zong Ze is not unfamiliar with his brothers. Their brothers died in battle and could not receive pensions. It is too cruel for the loyal and straight generals.

If the King Qin Jun hadn't had enough food, he would have been unable to consume Jindo, and he and Li Jingzhen wanted to spend money with Jindo under Bianliang City.

"Supervisor Zong, the army is defeated like a mountain, and it is too difficult to assemble again. These soldiers were scared by the Golden Dog. Some of them had already returned to their original homes, and some had defected to the Hedong thief Wang Shan!"

Zong Ze had heard of Wang Shan’s name more than once.

Wang Shan is different from Song Jiang.

He initially organized troops and just made a living, and never attacked prefectures and counties.

Never thought that the golden dog slaughtered the city everywhere, forcing countless good people from Hedong to defect to the bandits.

The court could not protect the people, and Wang Shan occupied many mountains, which were easy to defend but difficult to attack, and he was confused.

In a year, it expanded countless times and even fought with the Golden Dog Riding Team on a small scale several times, making it famous.

It is said that we are building chariots, gathering soldiers, and building camps to protect ourselves.

Now even the defeated soldiers of Henan Prefecture have placed their survival on the bandits in Hedong.

Zong Ze smiled bitterly on his face, and he didn't know how he, the deputy marshal of the world's military and the Minister of War, felt.

However, he remembered what Li Jing said, and was just the general who was incompetent, so he couldn't help but shake his head.

"You can help me gather the troops near Henan Prefecture, and I will go to Hedong to find Wang Shan!"

"Officials are officials, bandits are bandits. How can Zongshu take risks with his own life? Or should I go?"

Seeing Chen Cui volunteering, Zhe Yanzhi spoke quickly.

"Shishou Zong, he was originally a defeated general, and he could not give up any blame. I am willing to make meritorious service and make a military order to go to Hedong to persuade Wang Shan to join Shishou. If he fails, he is willing to accept any treatment from Shishou Zong!"

Zhe Yanzhi quickly expressed his opinion. He regretted it. He had thought that he should have a soldier who could still be self-disciplined in the army and go to the vicinity of Li Gudu and hand it over to Yu Zhong Yanhong for command.

In that case, the Jingou East Route Army would definitely be destroyed by Zongze to the north of the Yellow River.

When the court learned that the Eastern Route Army was destroyed, the lords and factions would not be so arrogant.

Bianliang City may be able to stay for more days.

"Deputy Envoy Zhe, Yuan Li, don't be too anxious. Before the situation reached its worst time, the Song Dynasty could not be destroyed. Empress Zhu Lian and Emperor Zhao Roujia have been sent out of Bianjing by the government. After Erlongshan was in danger, they were rescued by Li Jing. Now they are in Jingdong and assisting the Iron Case dispatch envoy Huang Can to rebuild the Third Division!"

"The war is everywhere in the capital, why doesn't King Kang stop moving?"

After all, Zhu Lian had never participated in the government affairs of the court, and only those who were familiar with the prince's mansion knew him. After Zhao Huan ascended the throne, she would at most come up with an idea when she was helping Zhao Huan in the deep palace.

In Zhe Yanzhi and Li Hui's eyes, her reputation is far worse than that of King Kang, who has gone to the Jin camp to negotiate without changing his face.

"Have you heard of Huang Qianshan?"

"That dog who falsely reported the disaster in Hedong, Shaanxi?"

"He is now with Wang Boyan, and he is King Kang's right-hand man!"

"How can King Kang value such a person?"

It was not easy for Zong Ze to find Zhe Yanzhi in circles, but Li Jing stayed in Fengqiu Bing and followed Zong Ze's soldiers together.

It is still easy for a messenger to find Zong Ze.

Zong Ze knew about Li Jing’s experience along the way. Even when Zhong Yanhong left Erlong Mountain, Zhu Lian arrived at Jinan Prefecture safely and reported to Zong Ze.

All the good news came, which made Zong Ze feel a little relieved in his deep sense of frustration.

The officials can still adopt good words, with the support of the empress, Chen Zhuo and Huang Can seem to do a good job in Shandong.

The one who disappointed him the most was King Kang.

A greedy and cunning Wang Boyan is not enough, and he makes the infatuated Huang Qianshan the most caring aide.

The letter from the Marshal's Mansion did not mention the king's letter, and hesitated to ask himself to go to Yingtian Mansion to find him.

Is it really that birds of feathers gather together?

"Previous envoy Zhe wants to find Wang Shan, I agree. Before that, you and Li Hui should help me find out what bandits are on both sides of the Yellow River from Zhengzhou to Tongguan. I am Han Xin now and I urgently need more and more troops!"

Zong Ze attaches great importance to Li Jing's judgment.

Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan took over Bianliang, and they wanted the Song Dynasty.

Since the established national policy of the Jin Kingdom was to destroy the Song Dynasty, the Jin dog robbed the north and returned to the north, he would definitely not do his best to go north.

Then the north and north roads of Beijing, Kaifeng Prefecture, and Huainan West Road will all be in war.

The bandits are still small. As the court's war fails and the golden dogs are raging, more and more bandits will become stronger and stronger.

If these bandits are not dealt with easily, and those who can be comforted and encircled the insufferable, and at the same time, the banner of anti-Jin is raised and the defense lines are managed by several big cities, the consequences will not be eliminated at a small price.

These large bandits can rob villages, and their destructive power is not inferior to that of the golden dog, and will greatly consume the vitality of the Great Song Dynasty's resistance to the Jin Dynasty.
