Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan rebelled against the Song Dynasty and commanded the rebel army to attack the city and plunder the land along the river. Wherever the army went, fighting and beacon smoke were everywhere. After learning that General Miao and Liu had rebelled, the government and the public were shocked. Emperor Gaozong was restless on the dragon throne. He went to court to discuss matters and asked the civil and military officials eagerly how to eliminate the thieves and quell the rebellion.
Wang Shu, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, advised Gaozong that Marshal Han Shizhong was well versed in the art of warfare and was brave and resourceful. He had just captured the rebellious Wu Xi and the morale of the army was strong. Han Shizhong could be sent to lead the army to defend against the enemy.
Emperor Gaozong immediately ordered Han Shizhong to send troops to Xiuzhou to meet the enemy. At this time, Jin Wushu received a secret report and saw a sudden war in the Song Dynasty, so he planned to take advantage of the situation to rob him. He raised his tent to deliver orders and beat drums to gather generals. All of a sudden, the wolf masters, cave masters, and big and small Pingzhangs came one after another, and the big cowhide tent was packed tightly.
Jin Wushu held the secret letter in his hand, his hands were like needles, and he laughed loudly. He told the generals that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy the Song Dynasty. This time he would lead 500,000 cavalry to break through Lin'an City and capture Zhao Gou alive.
Military Advisor Hami stood beside Jin Wushu. He asked the Wolf Lord, Cave Lord, and Pingzhang in the camp who was willing to take the lead and help the Four Wolf Lords clear the obstacles to destroying the Song Dynasty.
As soon as Hamichi finished speaking, two generals stood up. The faces of these two generals were like silver basins, their eyes were like bullfights, Zalizasa's beard covered his chin, and their words sounded like thunder.
Jin Wushu took a look at the two generals and found out that they were brothers Tremella Hu and Tie'erhu. The two men cried to Jin Wushu that their brothers died in the hands of General Song, and they must avenge this. Jin Wushu nodded and asked the two of them to be the vanguard and lead a hundred thousand troops to attack Xiuzhou. The two brothers Tremella Hu and Tie Erhu led the troops out.
After receiving the imperial edict, Han Shizhong immediately summoned all the generals in the Chinese army's commander's tent to discuss strategies to eliminate the thieves. At this time, Tan Ma came back and reported to Han Shizhong that Jin Wushu, the leader of the Four Wolves of the Jin Kingdom, asked Tremella Hu and Tie Erhu to raise an army of 100,000 to attack Xiuzhou.
Based on this news, Han Shizhong said to the generals in the camp: "Generals, Jin Wushu took advantage of the situation. This attack is fierce. We must be fully prepared to defend against the enemy. Now Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan are stationed in Xiuzhou. If they get mixed up with the Jin soldiers, it will be extremely detrimental to the court's suppression of the rebellion. Therefore, vanguards must be sent to attack the Jin soldiers head-on. This will not only allow them to retreat, but also combat the arrogance of the rebels. I don't know which general. You can take the lead and bear this heavy responsibility bravely."
Marshal Han glanced at the generals of the joint camp, Han Yanzhi stood up and said: "Commander Father, I am willing to go to Xiuzhou to defeat the enemy."
Marshal Han told Yanzhi that the military expedition to Xiuzhou was no small matter. This was the first battle of the imperial court to suppress the rebellion. If the victory could not be won, it would inevitably affect the morale of the three armies and have a negative impact on the war situation.
After Han Yanzhi heard what Han Shizhong said, he felt secretly anxious. He knew that his father's words made it clear that he didn't want him to go. He looked at Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing beside him. The two of them understood each other and immediately stood up to say good things for Han Yanzhi.
While they were discussing military affairs, Liang Hongyu walked in from outside the tent. She told Han Shizhong that only by going through battles can a general continuously improve his martial arts and strategy. Now that Yan Zhi is not young anymore, it is time for him to see big scenes and practice hard. If you are afraid of this and that, and let him stay in the camp, it is better to give up martial arts and pursue a career in literature and art.
When Han Shizhong saw that his wife and the two young heroes were interceding for Han Yanzhi, he took out the command arrow and gave it to Han Yanzhi's 80,000 troops, telling him to march forward as soon as possible to meet the Jin soldiers.
Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing also requested orders from Han Shizhong and followed Han Yanzhi to send troops to Xiuzhou. Liang Hongyu knew that although her son Yanzhi was very proficient in long fists and short strikes, he lacked the ability to control on the spot. The love between mother and son was deep, so she took out her swords, led the war horses, and went out with the army.
When Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan were stationed in Xiuzhou, a soldier said to him: "There is a group of people looking around near the official road outside the city, asking for news from everyone they meet."
General Miao and Liu heard the soldiers' stories and wondered whether a spy had sneaked in. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, the two of them went from house to house and ordered the people not to leave the city. Three thousand flying cavalry were immediately dispatched to the official road to investigate the situation.
Miao Fu led the flying cavalry to surround the group and interrogated them about their behavior and background. One of them told Fu Miao that he and everyone else were common people doing small business. However, Miao Fu did not believe this man's words. He glanced at the crowd and saw a fat man with a white face and no beard hiding slightly in the crowd. He didn't even raise his head, keeping his eyes on the ground.
Miao Fu saw this man acting strangely and ordered his soldiers to come forward and take him away. After the soldiers took the fat man out like a chicken, Miao Fu recognized the man at a glance as Kang Lu, the eunuch beside Gaozong.
When Fu Miao saw Kang Lu, he sneered: "Kang Lu, are you dressed like this to go out of the palace incognito to check on the people's situation, or are you preparing to abscond with a wealthy man?"
Falling into the hands of Miao Fu, Kang Lu cursed Qin Hui for tricking them. It turned out that Qin Hui, who controlled Wang Yuan and Kang Lu, was deeply favored by Emperor Gaozong. In order to achieve the purpose of deceiving the emperor, he used a false imperial edict to send Wang Yuan and Kang Lu to work in Xiuzhou. Miao Fu believed that Kang Lu had served Emperor Gaozong for many years and often spoke ill of him. Otherwise, why would they, generals outside the country, not be appreciated and promoted.
Kang Lv was planning to beg Miao Fu for mercy, but Wang Yuan, the commander, made a mistake at this time. He pointed at Fu Miao and cursed, saying that he was the beloved general of the Holy Emperor, and now that Han Shizhong had sent troops to Xiuzhou, those who knew better should let them go quickly.
Miao Fu was furious after hearing Wang Yuan's words. He rushed forward, raised his sword and beheaded Wang Yuan. Those soldiers disguised as common people killed the commander and begged Miao Fu for mercy. Miao Fu cut off the roots and executed Kang Lu and all the soldiers.
After Miao Fu led his troops back to the city, he told Liu Zhengyan what happened on the official road. Liu Zhengyan believed that Miao Fu did nothing wrong. Since he rebelled against the Song Dynasty, he should show some favor to Zhao Gou. Now that two of his favorites were killed, it was enough to scare him.
However, Liu Zhengyan believed that if he and Miao Fu rebelled, they would only be labeled as rebels. As the saying goes, if you have a bad reputation, you will not be successful. In order to have a good reputation as a teacher, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan ordered someone to write a proclamation to accuse Zhao Gou of being weak and incompetent. From Jiankang to Lin'an, they went further and further south, and they almost abandoned their ancestral country and ignored it.
Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan laughed after reading the memorial. He believed that with it, he could carry the banner of assisting the country and the people and completely oust Zhao Gou from the throne. Seeing that the two rebel generals Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan were becoming more and more arrogant, Emperor Gaozong sent envoys to the front line to urge Han Shizhong to capture the two rebels as soon as possible.
In order to gain time, both Song and Jin parties accelerated their march. The two parties met unexpectedly at the foot of Pingshan Mountain. Han Yanzhi lined up in a formation of wild goose feathers. The general was majestic and the soldiers were spirited. He reined in his horse, pointed at General Jin and shouted: "Hey, General Jin across the way, listen. I am Han Yanzhi, the son of Marshal Han Shizhong, and I will be the vanguard of the enemy. You have invaded our territory for no reason, and now you see me, Han Yanzhi." , you will definitely become a ghost under the sword."
Tie Erhu saw that this young general under General Song Ying had a fair face and looked frail. He rode out into battle, holding a large water fork, and shouted angrily at Han Yan: "You little kid who doesn't know whether to live or die, let me come and meet you."
As Tie Erhu spoke, the horse came to the fork, and with a move of Yaksha, it went straight to Han Yanzhi's ribs. Han Yan held up his sword and stood guard. The iron-eared steel fork touched the knife shaft, and sparks immediately flew out.
After a round of fighting, Han Yan felt constant pain in his palms. He secretly thought in his heart: This golden general is extremely powerful. When fighting him, it is better to outwit him and not to fight head-on.
Thinking of this, Han Yan swung his sword and made a move to sweep the leaves in the wind. He saw a cold light cutting towards the iron-eared armor. Tie'erhu shrank his head, and Han Yan turned his horse around and said to Tie'erhu: "Big black face, come and catch me."
When Tie Erhu saw that Han Yan was teasing him with words, he became furious and chased after him as fast as he could. When Han Yan saw Tie Erhu coming after him, he tightened his grip on the horse's belly and ran as hard as he could into the mountain road.
Tie'erhu was chasing after him, but Han Yanzhi fired three false arrows at him, then distanced himself and threw Tie'erhu away.
At the roundabout of the mountain road, Tie Erhu saw Han Yanzhi hanging his robe in front of him, and when he reached for the general's robe. Han Yanzhi shouted unexpectedly from behind: "You can read a knife with a tough ear."
The wind is hanging on the knife, and it is extremely swift and fierce. Tie Erhu was about to turn around, but it was too late. Han Yan raised his sword and cut Tie Erhu off his horse.
When Han Yanzhi and Tie Erhu rushed out of the battle formation, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing were very worried about his safety and immediately ordered the three armies to go to support them. On the Jinying side, Tie'erhu saw his brother Tie'erhu riding alone to chase the Song general. He was afraid that he would be ambushed, so he ordered the army to pursue him all the way.
When they arrived at the mountain road, Xin'er saw that Tie'er had died at the hands of Han Yanzhi. He cried bitterly with snot and tears: "Brother, please walk slowly. I will come after you as soon as I see you." He wanted to say look at me. I will avenge you immediately, because in a moment of anger, I lost my mouth.
Tremella picked up the arrow and hung it from the bow, and the arrow shot straight into Han Yanzhi's back like water dripping through stone. Fu Tianpeng listened to the sound and identified the position, rushed forward and used the ape-picking fruit style to catch all the arrows released by Tremella Hu.
Tremella saw Fu Tianpeng coming out to disrupt the situation, and rushed towards Fu Tianpeng holding Panlong Hantieguai in hand. Fu Tianpeng was not in a hurry, his eyes fixed on the white-eared throat. When Tremella Hu was approaching, he threw an arrow with his hand and threw a stone to ask for directions, hitting Tremella Hu in the throat.
After Tremella screamed "Wow", he fell from his horse and died immediately. The army was defeated like a mountain, and the Jin army suffered a heavy loss. Seeing that both generals were killed, they fled in all directions like a hozen without a tree to settle down.
Don't pursue the poor enemy. Han Yan ordered his soldiers to move all the food, grass and baggage left by the Jin soldiers back to the camp, and then led the front troops straight to Xiuzhou. Hamichi in the Jin camp learned that the trip was not going well, so he lost two generals and immediately reported the news to Jin Wushu.
Jin Wushu was very angry when he learned that both Tie'erhu and Tremellahu were killed by General Song. He wanted to lead his troops in person to fight Han Yanzhi in a life-and-death battle. Just as he continued to send troops to Xiuzhou, Tan Ma reported to him that Yang Yao at Dongting Lake had intercepted the supplies that the Jin Kingdom was preparing to transport to Jiankang.
Just when he was angry, Meteor Detective Ma came to report again that the Song Dynasty had sent Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi to Xiuzhou for support. Jin Wushu saw that soldiers and horses from all walks of life of the Song Dynasty were about to arrive. The Jin soldiers were defeated and their morale was low. He gritted his teeth and led his troops back.
After clearing away the hidden dangers of Jin's sneak attack, Han Yanzhi, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing prepared to fight against the two rebel generals Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, striving to regain Xiuzhou as soon as possible.
