The morning of March 26, the eighth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty.
Pingding Military City, which had been besieged by Jin soldiers for many days, finally ushered in the time when the city gates were opened.
Of course, standing outside the city, you can't see whether the city gate is open or closed, because the gate wall is blocking your view! But standing outside the east gate of Pingding Military City at this moment, you can still know that the east gate is wide open.
Because the leading figures in the Pingding Army City include Qin Hui, the governor of the Hedong Rebel Army, and Ji Yi, the envoy of the Pingding Army, as well as a soldier and horse commander, a horse farm promotion, two generals, two deputy generals, and eight generals. , now they are all arranged according to the size of their official positions. When they come to Fengchen, Marshal of Hebei Army and King Zhao Kai of Yun, bow to him.
Zhao Kai came very fast, almost chasing the gold thief who had retreated at Niangzi Pass. If Wanyan Zonghan hadn't retreated so fast, there would have been another fight between the two sides.
Because he came so quickly, Mr. Ji Yiji, the envoy of the Pingding Army, became suspicious - did the Song Dynasty really have 800,000 forbidden troops? It's impossible. When I was young, I served as the instructor of the Imperial Guards in Kaifeng Mansion. At that time, the Imperial Guards in Kaifeng were filled with vacancies and occupations. The roster of the Fourth Army is full of traders and craftsmen from Kaifeng Prefecture. Those military generals from aristocratic families who ask them to recite poetry, draw, write, and play Cuju are all top-notch. They don't know how to fight!
Such a forbidden army cannot defeat 80,000 gold thieves even if they collect 800,000!
But if there weren’t hundreds of thousands of gold thieves that could be beaten, why did Wanyan Zonghan run so fast? Could it be a scam?
He was still confused here, but Zhao Kai had already strode forward, laughing and talking to Ji Yi and Qin Hui.
"The old general is the old lieutenant Ji Yiji, right? Counselor Liu told the Gu family that it was you who gave the army 20,000 yuan out of your family fortune to inspire the soldiers of the Pingding Army... Well, you can do it for me Sacrificing the country's wealth and life, this is the good official of our Song Dynasty!"
Is this a compliment to me? After Ji Yi heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead!
All his wealth came from greed, and 20,000 yuan was only a small part of it. If Yushitai sent someone to check it out, would Ji Yi still be able to serve as an official?
How is this Liu Ziyu trying to repay his merits? Just reporting it!
Qin Hui, who was standing next to him, knew what Lieutenant Ji was feeling, so he quickly changed the subject and asked for credit on Ji Yi's behalf.
"Your Majesty, this time the Pingding Army was able to defend, it was Taiwei Ji who took the greatest credit!" Qin Hui said, "Not only did Taiwei Ji become a monk to help the army, but he also often took the lead and went to the city to command the resistance against the enemy. He even personally led his troops out of the city to kill the enemy. Quite a gain!”
What? Is this old man so powerful?
Zhao Kaixin said: Such a powerful old man, why didn’t he leave a famous name in history? Are any of the four ZTE generals named Ji? No!
Moreover, Yelu Yujian had already told Zhao Kai what happened to his Khitan soldiers at the foot of the Pingding Army City - they were beaten into disgrace by a brave and unstoppable young general, and there was nothing wrong with him.
Did you, Qin Hui, accept a bribe from Ji and help you flatter him here?
However, Zhao Kai did not mean to expose Qin Hui, but asked again: "Aside from Taiwei Ji, who else has made great contributions?"
No matter how you say it, the old man Ji Yi is Yue Fei's boss. Of course, the meritorious service of his subordinates must be counted as his boss's share. It's the same everywhere. Doesn’t the credit for Huang Wuji’s spear-picking of Yema also go to Zhao Kai? Moreover, Ji Yi was the envoy of the Pingding Army, so it was certainly a credit to the Pingding Army to defend him.
This time it's Ji Yi's turn to praise Qin Hui... In the officialdom, of course he has to be praised!
Ji Yidao: "Your Majesty, although Hedong Qin Zhaofu is a civil servant, he can also resist the gold!"
What? Qin Hui resisted Jin? Zhao Kai knew something was wrong when he heard this!
How did Ji Yi know the details of Qin Hui? Still blowing there!
"Qin Zhaofu climbed to the city seven times, braved the rain of arrows and stone bullets from gold thieves, inspired the soldiers, and directed the battles. Although he is a scholar, his courage is no less than that of a general!"
Zhao Kai hummed in his heart, Qin Hui is so brave! His courage is something you, an old man, can never imagine. But you old man is very courageous...Okay, I will arrange for you to go to the anti-gold front line later!
"If anyone else has made great contributions, please report them as well!" Zhao Kai said coldly, "The Gu family is the most important hero, and the Gu family also plans to continue to march westward to Taiyuan to rescue Taiyuan from the siege of the gold thieves. , the heroes of the Pingding Army can go with Gujia... Then they can kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds!"
What? Want to save Taiyuan?
Ji Yi, Qin Hui, and the generals of the Pingding Army who were following them were all startled. Among them, Old Lieutenant Ji Yi's heart was twitching even more... Hearing what His Highness Prince Yun meant, I He also wanted to go to Taiyuan to kill the enemy. No, was he killed by the enemy?
At this moment, suddenly a young captain with a white face and no beard, one big eye and one small eye, with a scar on the corner of his small eye, stood up and asked loudly: "Does Your Majesty know how many gold thieves there are on the West Road? The people who besieged Taiyuan Prefecture How many thieves are there?"
Ji Yi and Qin Hui didn't need to look back to know that the person asking the question must be Yue Fei!
Zhao Kai recognized the person in front of him as Yue Fei at a glance - although he had never met Yue Fei, Liu Ziyu had met Yue Fei. Zhao Kai asked him a lot, so he knew that the fair-faced, beardless, 20-year-old, older at first glance, Yue Fei and Yue Pengju!
"Is this general Yue Fei and Yue Pengju?" Zhao Kai asked, already laughing.
Yue Fei... Gujia is looking for you!
"The last general is Yue Fei!" Yue Fei saw Zhao Kai's smile and felt strange. Did the king think of something happy?
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "Peng Ju asked a good question. The way to use the army is to know yourself and the enemy! The Gu family already knows the details of the Golden Thief West Route Army! Moreover, the Gu family also knows the commander-in-chief of the Golden Thief West Route Army, Wanyan Nianhan, Wanyan Xiyin didn't know the reality of the Gu family and the Song Dynasty, and because he had lost contact with the Eastern Route Army for many days, he greatly overestimated the strength of the Gu family... So now it was a bluff to scare away the Jin soldiers. An opportunity to relieve Taiyuan’s difficulties!”
Zhao Kai originally didn't want to rescue Taiyuan, he just wanted to rescue Yue Fei. Now that Yue Fei had obtained it, he should return to Xiangzhou to train his troops.
However, on the way to pacify the Ding army, Zhao Kai asked Yelu Yujian about the situation of Taiyuan Prefecture and the Jinxi Route Army, and learned that Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin had serious misunderstandings about the Song Dynasty and his own strength. Judgment——I greatly overestimated myself and Da Song!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... Not to mention that there are Zhao Kai's old acquaintance Wang Zhen and three thousand elite soldiers of the Victory Army in Taiyuan City, but the terrain of Shanxi determines that Zhao Kai must save Taiyuan!
Shanxi is a strategic location in the Central Plains!
Historically, Li Tang flourished in Taiyuan, and Liu Zhiyuan, the founder of the Later Han Dynasty, was able to establish the Later Han Dynasty based on Hedong when the Khitan destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty and occupied the Central Plains. This shows how great the strategic value of occupying Shanxi is. From a military perspective alone, Hedong is even more important than Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, and much more important!
So when Zhao Kai learned that there was an opportunity to break the siege of Taiyuan and control Hedong, he immediately made the decision to march into Taiyuan.
Of course Yue Fei also knew the importance of Taiyuan, so he immediately crossed his hands and saluted: "Now that the king is sure, then Fei is willing to be the vanguard!"
"Okay!" Zhao Kai smiled and nodded, "With Pengju as the vanguard, the siege of Taiyuan will be lifted!
What? Zhao Kai called Yue Fei "Pengju"!
Ji Yixin said: So intimate? Didn't they just meet? Is this Yue Fei related to Prince Yun? By the way, Yue Fei is from Xiangzhou. Is he the grandson of the Han family in Xiangzhou? It turns out that Yue Fei also has a background, what a miscalculation!
However, Zhao Kai did not immediately give Ji Yi a chance to make up for his mistakes. Instead, he suddenly stepped forward and took Yue Fei's big hand, smiling and saying: "Pengju, let's go to the city together... Oh, good minister, come here too." , let’s go to the city together!”
We can't forget Han Shizhong while we have Yue Fei!
