Chapter 41 Tucao

The army in Cizhou City has gathered.

The day after Li Jing seized Enzhou, the court also learned about Wanyan Zongwang's southward journey to Daming Mansion.

King Kang Zhao Gou was appointed as the Grand Marshal of the World, and Zong Ze was appointed as the Deputy Marshal of the World.

Order the rebel army in Cizhou to go south to serve the king immediately.

Zong Ze made every effort to save the king.

No matter what media iron mines are.

All the 25,000 strong people who could be organized into the city were organized into rebels. Some of the old and weak people and their families were handed over to Huang Can, and he was asked to migrate to Qizhou with him.

He led the Tongzong of Cizhou and other officials of all sizes to set out for Daming.

One of the things he was most worried about now was whether Du Chong, the governor of Daming Prefecture, would spread the Yellow River and use water to replace soldiers?

Historically, after the fall of Daming Prefecture, Du Chong immediately spread the Yellow River, trying to use Taotao River water to block the Jin people.

This is the winter, and the Yellow River can freeze and ride.

The flood you release will not take long to turn into an ice field.

Stop a soldier.

Du Chong, who had spread the Yellow River in history, rose to prominence, replaced Zong Ze as the prefect of Kaifeng, and dismissed the rebel army of the Two Rivers.

Li Jing even suspected that it was Zhao Gou's order to spread the Yellow River and replace soldiers with water.

Du Chong took the blame for him, and he had the emperor's handle in his hands.

Otherwise, Zhao Gou could use a person who harms the country and the people so much.

You should know that the tragedy of the Yellow River embankment destroyed the entire Jianghuai Plain and the most prosperous land in the Song Dynasty.

This led to the Yellow River hiding into the Huai River and entering the sea, causing trouble to the living beings, and countless people died tragically.

Zong Ze, who became the deputy marshal of the world's military and horses, had his first order to send Du Chong. The Cizhou Army had already rushed to Daming to protect the Yellow River embankment no matter how he was, otherwise he would be killed.

For this reason, he also sent a letter to King Kang, explaining in detail the consequences of the Yellow River after it burst.

And after hearing what he said in the letter, Du Chong had prepared to break the dam.

The imperial court's orders came a little late.

After receiving the order, Zong Ze was ready that night and raised an army the next day.

What made him extremely worried were the reinforcements of Jinan Prefecture.

The troops were insufficient, so I hoped that the Jinan reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible, and I was worried that the Jinan reinforcements would plunge into the Jin army's cavalry nest.

Just as he was about to send troops, a rebel army in Xiangzhou came to the south.

The two leading ones are Zhao Bushi and Yue Fei.

"Deputy Commander Zong, I got the news that the third battalion was not fully recruited, so I came here, and it didn't delay the military information!"

Yue Fei's horse quick, first came to Zong Ze, hugged his hands and bowed, and saluted Zong Ze.

"I've come here, how many people have I brought!"

"The last general has only two strong battalions, and there is not enough weapons!"

"We said while walking that we can't reach Daming Mansion in one day. Let's talk about the ordnance matters when camping in the evening!"

At this time, Zhao Bushi also arrived.

"Sir, Wang Boyan had secretly taken Xiangzhou Xiangjun and followed King Kang to Daming Mansion a few days ago!"

Xiangzhou is very safe behind Cizhou and the city is complete. Whenever the Jin army attacks Xiangzhou, Junzhou and Cizhou, the army can rush to help, watch over each other and attack the Jin army. At this moment, when you go to Daming Prefecture, you will not die if you don’t commit suicide.

Zong Ze was speechless.

"Sir, the first time the Jin army went south, they captured Xiangzhou. The people of Xiangzhou were not in the city. I ordered more than a thousand rebels recruited by Xiangzhou. Let's go with you to fight for the king!"

Originally, Zong Ze heard that the governor of Xiangzhou, Wang Boyan, had left, and wanted to order Zhao Bushi to defend the city.

After thinking about it, Zhao Bushi said something reasonable.

A broken city that was captured by the Jin army a few months ago, all the people in the city were killed and snatched away, and the number of people gathered again was limited.

There is a big mistake.

He called Zhao Bushi and Yue Fei to follow the army behind the Cizhou army and headed towards Daming Mansion.

What he was most worried about was that the Jin army occupied Daming Prefecture and cut off the connection between Jinan Prefecture and Cizhou.

Reinforcements from Jinan Prefecture collided with the Jin army.

He was also afraid that Du Chong would be so accused by Li Jing and went to dig the Yellow River embankment.

After Zong Ze was awarded the title of Jinshi, his first stop was to be a county magistrate in Daming Prefecture. He was also responsible for the maintenance of the Yellow River embankment in Daming Prefecture.

At this time, the Yellow River has become a river on the ground.

He knew very well that the dike protected the farmland of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

If the Yellow River really changes its route and seizes the Huai River into the sea, not only will the lives of life be damaged, but the army, food, and logistics cannot be used to go north, and it will be even more difficult to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

The worried Zong Ze looked at Yue Fei's busy figure and remembered that Li Jing treated the officials of Da Song and other people to cook.

Fangzheng's face showed a humble smile.

I couldn't help feeling upset.

He was not sure whether he could stop the Yellow River from breaking the dam and being surrounded by the siege, nor did he know whether the king could avoid the breaking of the city of Bianjing.

Who knew that Yue Fei had just called his rebel army to follow Zong Ze's army.

Come again.

"Master Zong, I am willing to be a vanguard and clear the golden man's whistle!"

"Have you heard about your two brothers?"

Seeing Yue Fei scratching his head, Zong Ze finally showed a smile.

"You two younger brothers recovered Xingzhou and Enzhou and killed nearly 5,000 enemies. I have already written to the court to ask for credit for them!"

Now it was Yue Fei's turn to be depressed. These two younger brothers were much better than the few brothers he had joined in his childhood.

Li Jing and Zhong Yanhong are modest on the surface, respectful to the wise and humble, and even fools can see the pride that flows out of their bones.

He was a little envious of these famous disciples who did not have to recruit themselves and could easily obtain a group of soldiers. Originally, both of them were higher than his military ranks and were so capable of fighting. How could he, the eldest brother, pursue him to convince his two younger brothers?

"The enemy is strong in this battle, and I am weak, and it is extremely dangerous. If you have a great opportunity to show off your phone, you can train the recruits well. You have to learn from your third brother. Although he is not good at fighting formations, he has unique features in making weapons, training and leading troops!"

Zong Ze is refusing him to be the pioneer.

Let him combine the new recruits recruited in Xiangzhou into an army as soon as possible.

Yue Fei also knew that Zong Ze's concerns were reasonable, so he sighed, nodded, and returned to his two battalions of soldiers.

However, Zhao Bushi threw the rebels of Xiangzhou in the third camp to Yue Fei, and ran to Zong Ze to ride a carriage.

Zhao Bushi has always been an official in the local area. This time, Wang Boyan's move to get King Kang made him disgusted.

The soldiers escorted King Kang were pieced together on their dying days. When Wang Yun, the Minister of War, was in charge, the military discipline was not very good.

Once Wang Yun died, he disturbed the people in Xiangzhou every day.

It is considered light to steal pigs and sheep from the people, and there are also women who go into the house to sleep with them.

When he really left, Zhao Bushi despised them from avoiding the war again.

Zhao Bushi came to find Zong Ze, just to complain. After complaining about Wang Boyan, he complained about the soldiers escorting King Kang.

I want him, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, to be in charge.

In Xiangzhou, King Kang, the world's military marshal, pretended not to know, and Zong Ze dared not to care about it, and he had no choice.

Tong Guan harmed the imperial guards for decades. The Xiang army took the imperial guards as an example, and the entire Song army could not find a team with good military discipline.

Zong Ze even wanted to go south to incorporate some bandits who were dismissed and became bandits.

This time, we will not only face Wanyan Zongwang's Eastern Army, but also defeat Wanyan Zonghan's Western Army.

The two armies added up to 150,000 people.

The Jin cavalry was brave, fierce in charge, strong armor, and often fought to the death without retreating.

When the Song army fought at this time, the troops were too short of two or three times the opponent's strength, and they did not dare to face the enemy head-on in field battles.

Li Jing was so brave and had so many tricks, so he didn't dare to chase Wanyan Zongwang from Enzhou.

I only had less than 30,000 people, but to put it bluntly, it was equivalent to carrying a coffin to go on a war. I was nearly 70 years old and expressed my loyalty to the Song Dynasty with my flesh and blood.

"Mr. Zhao, everything will have to be resolved when you defeat the Jin army this time and successfully serve the king! It is possible to solve it. If you fail to serve the king, the consequences will be unimaginable. I am afraid that not only will I, the deputy marshal of the world, have the final say, but you, the magistrate of Xiangzhou, don't know where to go."

Zhao Bushi's eyes widened.

Zong Ze was so unfavorable about the situation in Bianjing, if Bianjing really fell.

King Kang failed to become the last blood of the Zhao family who was directly tied to Bianjing.

No wonder Wang Boyan is so naughty, and he is not afraid of escorting King Kang's soldiers and horses. He gave up the court to solve various problems himself and escorted King Kang toward the direction of Daming Mansion.
