"Prince Yun Zhao? Liu Zuowu, have you ever heard that there is a general named Yun in the Jin camp?"
"No, I haven't heard of them...Looking at their clothes, they seem to be our people."
"Is it an officer? It seems true!"
"Ma Xunzheng, are there any generals named Yun and Wang Zhao among the army?"
"This... I haven't heard of it. Liu Zuowu, why don't I go and ask."
"Okay, just be careful."
After Ma Kuo and Liu Yan saw the flag recognition of "Yun Wang Zhao", they did not expect that the title "Yun Wang" represented. Zhao was the surname. They thought they had met a Song Dynasty general named Yun.
After Ma Kuo and Liu Yan discussed a few words, they rode forward and reached the officer named "Yun Wang Zhao" who was only twenty or thirty steps away. Then he opened his throat and shouted: " In front of me is Taiwei Yun of the Song Dynasty? I am the deputy commander of the Zhending Mansion, Xuanzheng Lang Ma Kuo. May I ask what the name of Taiwei Yun is? Where is he an official? What is his position?"
What? Lieutenant Yun? Who?
Zhao Kai didn't understand what Ma Kuo was saying for a moment? But he still figured out that the man opposite him was Ma Kuai, a diplomat who had been working for many years to sign a maritime alliance for the Song Dynasty, and he also saw clearly the recognition flag of "Heart-hearted Liu Yan". Therefore, it can be roughly determined that the people coming are not enemies, but Ma Kuo, Liu Yan and the Red Heart Cavalry led by Liu Yan who came from Zhending Mansion.
It turns out that Zhao Kai came all the way north from outside Daming City to meet the enemy. After settling in Daming Mansion, Zhao Kai would urge his five cavalry generals and one guard general of the Tiance Army to leave the city every day. Three hours of training. Moreover, he would also lead by example and take the lead in training on horseback slashing. He also asked Han Shizhong to personally guide him on how to train ordinary knights, and he, the king, would train in the same way. Whatever the knights are asked to do, he, the king, must do it first.
After practicing like this for three or four days, Zhao Kai felt that his martial arts skills had greatly improved, and he began to be a little eager to try. When he wanted to kill a few gold thieves and start killing, Han Shizhong's ranger detectives came to report that there were hundreds of thieves. The unidentified cavalry is coming from the north and is approaching Damingfu City.
When Zhao Kai heard the news, he immediately decided to go out and lead the team in person... Of course, Han Shizhong still had to take him with him. Zhao Kai was not arrogant enough to think that he could really command the battle on the battlefield. .
In this way, Zhao Kai led 1,800 cavalry and marched northward in a mighty manner. Finally, they blocked Liu Yan and Ma Kuan in the north of a forest more than ten miles north of Daming City. Ma Kuo thought he was some kind of "Lieutenant Yun".
Although Zhao Kai didn't understand why Ma Kuo asked about "Yun Taiwei", he still announced his name loudly: "Ma Xuanzheng, there is no such thing as Yun Taiwei here. I am the Hebei Army Marshal, King Yun Zhao Kai!"
This time it was Ma Kuo's turn to be stunned.
Marshal of the Hebei Army, Prince Yun Zhao Kai... It sounds like he is the son of an official family, His Highness Prince Yun who almost won the top prize!
But where is King Yun? Couldn't he be the guy wearing a green Tang armor and holding an eight or nine foot long carbine in his hand? Impossible, you must have not heard clearly...
Thinking of this, Ma Kuo asked again: "May I ask this Lieutenant, where is His Royal Highness King Yun? I wonder if the official and Liu Zuowu of the Chixin Team can go to see him?"
"The Gu family is Zhao Kai!" Zhao Kai slung the carbine on his shoulder as he spoke, and then said with a smile, "The Gu family came to Hebei to supervise the army to fight against the Jin under the emperor's imperial decree. Heroes like Ma Zuowu and Liu Yan are needed. Ma Zuowu, please come and meet Liu Xuanzheng!"
"Are you really, really His Highness King Yun?" Ma Kuo still couldn't believe it.
This guy in front of me looks so fierce, how could he be the king of the Song Dynasty? If all the kings of the Song Dynasty were like this, how difficult would it be to defeat Yanjing? He won it a hundred years ago!
"Straight mother-in-law, you are a very good horseman? If you don't get off your horse to pay homage to the king, are you afraid that the king will order you to do the work?"
When Ma Kuo was still wondering whether the King Yun in front of him was really real, he suddenly heard someone yelling and cursing. The voice sounded a little familiar. He quickly took a closer look and saw Han Shizhong!
Han Shizhong is not a big fellow, and he has not yet joined the horizontal class, but he is a celebrity in the Western Army - he is famous for being brave and good at fighting!
Ma Kuo also knew that Han Shizhong was leading his troops to garrison Daming Mansion. Since he said that the one wearing iron clothes, holding a spear, and riding a big horse was King Yun...then he couldn't be wrong!
Thinking of this, Ma Kuo quickly called Liu Yan to come forward and pay homage to King Yun Zhao Kai together.
Seeing Ma Kuo and Liu Yan, two generals who were a bit old but still very heroic and not out of shape, bowing respectfully to him, Zhao Kai laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Today I have acquired two more tiger generals, it seems that I will be able to make great achievements in Hebei alone!"
What does it mean to make achievements? Ma Kuo and Liu Yan were confused. The document written by Mr. Cai Mao and Mr. Cai made it clear that the two of them were asked to go to Daimyo in order to find a way to sue for peace.
Seeing that the two people in front of him were in a daze, Zhao Kai waved his hand and said: "Get on your horse and follow me back to the city... I will serve you two and all the gentlemen with wine at the Daming Palace to welcome you!"
...
At the same time that Zhao Kai was leading more than two thousand cavalry, as well as Ma Kuo and Liu Yan, they were heading back to Daming Mansion. A group of cavalry from the Ever Victorious Army, about four to five hundred cavalry, had already entered Daming Mansion. However, they did not come from the north, but entered the area west of the Yellow River in Daming Prefecture from the west. Now we have arrived in Wei County, which is just across the river from Damingfu City.
As the Yellow River diverted its course to the north, Damingfu was divided into Hedong and Hexi parts by the Yellow River. Among them, the Hexi part only has three counties, Cheng'an, Wei County, and Neihuang County, so it is not very important. There are not many forbidden troops stationed, and it mainly relies on Xiang soldiers and Minzhuang to defend it. Therefore, the Song army in these three counties could only barely defend the county town and a few forts, and was unable to send out rangers to attack the hundreds of cavalry sent by Guo Yaoshi.
Therefore, this limited number of cavalrymen quickly arrived at the bank of the Yellow River in Wei County, as if entering an uninhabited territory.
The Yellow River has not yet thawed. Standing on the high embankment, you can already see the towering towers of Damingfu City in the distance.
Dozens of knights gathered around the two men, a man and a woman, and rode up the high embankment. The man is a white-faced old scholar in his fifties, wearing a crimson Song Dynasty official uniform and a black gauze on his head. He has a rather extraordinary demeanor and has not languished after being a prisoner for several months. . This person was Lu Yihao, the transshipment envoy of the occupied Yanshan Road. When Guo Pharmacist rebelled against the Song Dynasty and joined the Jin Dynasty, Lu Yihao and Cai Jing, who knew Yanshan Prefecture, were arrested by Guo Pharmacist. Cai Jing surrendered in fear of death and fell into the water and became a traitor. Lu Yihao, on the other hand, was determined not to surrender...but he did not commit suicide or die for his country. Instead, he ate and drank when he should, and from time to time he wrote a few crooked poems criticizing the Jin people. If you meet a Jin general with a bad temper, you might just chop him into pieces. However, Medicine Master Guo handed him over to the Bodhisattva Prince Wanyan Zongwang. Although Zongwang did not have the heart of a Bodhisattva, he was not an insignificant person, so he let Lu Yihao write crooked poems without any murderous intention. Moreover, Zhao Liangsi's visit gave Lu Yihao an opportunity to escape and ascend to heaven, and return to the Song Dynasty to become a loyal minister.
The woman was a young woman in her twenties, wearing a cloak trimmed with white fox fur, revealing half of her body armor, and her glossy black hair was pulled up into a bun, casually styled with a hosta. Insert together. Looking at her figure, she is also tall and thin, with long arms and legs. She is somewhat similar to that of Medicine Master Guo, but her face is covered by a veil and her appearance cannot be seen clearly.
This woman is Guo Tiannu, the eldest daughter of Medicine Master Guo, or Dong Guo, a widow whose husband has died. Her husband was Dong Xiaoxiu, who had been the leader of the Japanese Resentment Army for a period of time. They were an old man and a young wife, and it was just a political marriage...Dong Xiaoxiu was killed by the Liao people five years ago because of the disadvantages in the battle. Since then, Guo Tiannu has been a widow since then. At the same time, she also inherited part of Dong Xiaoxiu's troops and is now regarded as a general in the first battalion of Guo Yaoshi's army.
