It turns out that when the Jin Army invaded the south, the Eastern Route Army, in order to obtain the greatest results in the least time, adopted a beheading operation of driving straight in without any need for logistics, feeding the enemy with food, and going straight into the heart. Except for a few strategically important pass prefectures

, we must attack and capture other prefectures and counties along the way. If we can, take them; if we can't, put them aside for the time being.

The city of Xiangzhou was still in the hands of the imperial court as early as two months ago. The person who guarded Xiangzhou was one of the powerful officials in the early Southern Song Dynasty: Wang Boyan. In addition, Xiangzhou also had two bigger figures,

One was Zongze, the original acquaintance of Cizhou, and the other was Zhao Gou, the king of Kang.

Before the siege of Bianjing, Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, was sent as an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin on the emperor's order and escaped by mistake. At that time, he received a secret edict from his brother Zhuwan who was trapped in the capital, conferring him the title of Marshal of the Lianghe Army.

As Wang Boyan, Zongze was his deputy, allowing him to appoint officials as his own to do things for his own convenience.

Zhao Gou took heart at the beginning, gathering troops from Cizhou and Xiangzhou, and recruiting tens of thousands of local braves. Then, taking advantage of the freezing of the Yellow River, he rushed across the Yellow River in a mighty manner and approached Bianjing, preparing to be the "King of Qin". But that was it.

At this time, when Zhao Gou led a small number of troops on a patrol, he encountered a Jin army outpost. Dozens of Jin soldiers barged their teeth and claws, and fiercely attacked the Jin soldiers, frightening Zhao Gou's personal guards and fled in all directions.

Zhao Laojiu was in his early twenties at this time. Although he was young, he was also quite good at bow and horse, and his physique was very good. He grabbed a fast horse and ran away. After a fast and furious run, he finally escaped by luck. However, this man has been impotent since then.

, I have never faced a gold man again, and he was one of the patients with the most severe symptoms of "gold phobia" in the entire Song Dynasty.

After that, Zhao Gou's Qin Wang route began to become erratic. He first left Xiangzhou and went north to Daming Mansion, and then drifted to Dongping Mansion on Hebei East Road to stay there. He only ordered Zongze to recruit the world's soldiers and horses to Qin Wang in Kaide Mansion as a cover.

.As for the parents, brothers and sisters in Bianjing City, they can't resist the temptation of one sentence: The emperor takes turns, next year it will be my turn!

Zhao Laojiu's luck really wasn't bad. He had just left Xiangzhou with his army, and the Jin Army's sneak attack troops arrived at the rear. With just a moment's delay, the future founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty would follow his father.

, Brother, went to the icy and snowy Five Kingdoms City in the north, and "sat in a well and watched the sky" in the cellar of the Jurchens.

Therefore, at this time, Xiangzhou had just fallen into the hands of the Jin army for more than a month. Most of the surrounding counties and villages had not surrendered to the Jin people. From time to time, there were remaining officers, soldiers and rebels peeking around this large army. Whether they were officers, soldiers or rebels, perhaps they were not

He didn't have the consciousness and courage to respond to King Qin's call to attack the Jin soldiers, but Guxin's army was no more than a big piece of fragrant fat. Even if he could bite off a little bit, his mouth would be full of oil.

During this period of time, many rebels who have tried to open their mouths have come to seek wildfire. Although they were slaughtered without even breaking through the outer sentries of the Jin Army, these were buzzing like mosquitoes trying to take a sip.

Bloody guys are always annoying, aren't they? If the baggage hadn't been burdened with women, and the Jurchen cavalry were so nimble and powerful when they went south, they would have killed these guys several times.

As a last resort, Gu Xin organized two outpost troops, each with five Muke troops, plus some servants, for a total of nearly a thousand troops. The two troops totaled 2,000 troops, most of whom were

They were Jurchen elite cavalry. They spread out hundreds of miles ahead to clear out the remnants and ensure that the Chinese army was quiet and without harassment. Sure enough, this time, the world was quiet. However, the Chinese army camp in Guxin was empty.

Among the nearly 5,000 troops led by Gu Xin, there were less than 2,000 real Jurchens. The rest were natives of various ethnic groups in the original Liaodong. There were Khitans and Xi people who surrendered after the fall of Liao; , Bohai people who fled in all directions; some were Koreans captured from the Korean Peninsula; and even more were Han Chinese signing troops from the original Yan land. These people were a mixed bag of people, arrogant and undisciplined. If there were no strong Jurchens to deter them, then It's impossible to knead them together.

Even so, the armies of the various ethnic groups that were barely combined still couldn't urinate into the same pot, and basically formed their own armies. When fighting, each ethnic group formed its own team, and when setting up camp, each had its own camp. When they met on weekdays, they often looked bad. , and even worse, fists are drawn at each other, and knives and guns are used from time to time.

The Jurchen Jin people, on the other hand, just stood aside and watched, as long as no big trouble was caused, they would turn a blind eye or close one eye, and sometimes secretly contribute to the flames. Conflicts and grudges among various tribes were in line with the Jin people's rule of differentiation. interests. As long as it doesn't affect the war effort, feel free to make trouble.

Guxin sent thousands of Jurchen elites to move hundreds of miles forward to clear the obstacles. Due to the inexplicable attack on the Jin army's sentry cavalry on the bank of Huan River during the day, several people were killed but not even a hair of the enemy was touched. This made Guxin furious. In order to prevent accidents, he sent more than a hundred Jin soldiers to continuously patrol along the banks of the Huanshui River. In addition, a Jurchen of about Puchan size was also deployed in the camp of each servant army. In this way, There were only less than five hundred elite Jurchen soldiers left in his Chinese army camp.

Yang Zhechong's eyes slowly lit up when he heard this: "In other words, if there is a large Jin army camp, there are less than 3,000 troops, of which there are only 500 or 600 Jurchens... Leader, what a great opportunity!"

Di Lie nodded: "This is good news, but for us, there doesn't seem to be much difference between five thousand people and three thousand people."

Yang Zhechong lowered his head in frustration, yes, there are only three of them, or rather, only two of them. The enemy is a thousand times more than ourselves, three thousand or five thousand, is there any difference?

Di Lie and Yang Zhechong didn't know that the way they asked and answered their questions made the prisoner named Zuo Kai feel anxious. Xiangzhou is already close to the Taihang Mountains. The Liao Kingdom was destroyed, and the Song Army was beaten to a pulp and collapsed thousands of miles away. The Taihang Mountains, which stretched thousands of miles across Yanzhao, began to have a sense of neglect.

The bandits under the banner of rebels, the Liao people whose country was ruined and their families were destroyed, and the Song army, which was defeated after the wars of Liao and Jin, gathered in the mountains and forests, causing trouble to one side. The number even reached 100,000 at the highest number. In the past few years, there were A leader named Gao Tuoshan had tens of thousands of people under his command, but he refused to pay anyone's bills, which caused headaches for all countries. Later, when the Jin army invaded the Song Dynasty southward for the first time, they killed him and took away his stronghold. Lost.

However, the tiger was not defeated, and some of his men still held high banners and attacked in all directions. The ones who caused a lot of trouble for Guxin this time were some of the Gao family rebels.

Zuo Kai had lived at the foot of the Taihang Mountains and on the banks of the Yishui River before. He was deeply touched by the prestige of the Taihang Rebel Army. When he saw that among the three people in front of him, the two big men were so loud that they did not put thousands of gold soldiers on them. In my eyes, no one would have such confidence unless he had more than ten thousand men and horses. What’s especially rare is that one of them is still the leader. If he can take this opportunity...

Zuo Kai's previous occupation has determined that he not only has quick eyesight, but also has a bright mind. He knows what will happen to him as a prisoner after he is forced to confess information. If he wants to survive and achieve his goal,

Surrendering and rebelling is the only choice.

Zuo Kai didn't care that his knees were numb and painful, and his forehead was broken. He immediately walked a few steps on his knees, kowtowing every step of the way, and burst into tears: "The villain was originally a kind commoner, but he was forced to join the army by the evil golden dog, but he never went to the battlefield to fight against him.

The people of Song Dynasty are just guarding supplies. There is a blind old man in the poor family..."

Ye Dieer's eyes turned red as she cried, and she gently pulled Di Lie's sleeve from behind.

But Di Lie said word by word: "I just want to ask you one thing, were you involved in the gang rape incident last night?"

Facing Di Lie's fiery eyes, Zuo Kai almost screamed at Chong Tian Qu: "I swear, I was absolutely not involved. If there is even half a lie, both humans and gods will punish you! In fact, what happened last night is probably

It happened in the Jin Army's Central Army Camp, because most of those women were detained there. The Han Army Camp where the villain was, there was no chance at all..."

Di Lie stared at Zuo Kai coldly until he was sweating profusely and could hardly hold on. Di Lie nodded: "Your life is saved."

Zuo Kai immediately lost all strength and fell limply to the ground.

Di Lie pondered for a moment and said, "You said you were guarding supplies. What supplies were you guarding?"

Zuo Kai reached into his arms tremblingly, took out something, and held it in both hands: "That's it..."

Under the moonlight, a small gourd can be vaguely seen.

Di Lie reached out to take it, pulled out the stopper, and a strong fragrance entered his nose. Di Lie frowned: "It's wine!"

Zuo Kai whispered: "Yes, it's Fengquan, a famous wine in the capital. There are also various kinds of fine wines in the small stationed wine warehouse, with thousands of jars. It's just that everyone in the Golden Dog likes wine, but he is too drunk."

He was so stingy that he let the little one act as a guard dog but refused to reward him with any wine. In anger, the little one... guarded himself, got some wine and hid outside the camp to drink. As a result, he accidentally met the hero..."

Di Lie laughed: "You are quite good at talking. Have you read any books?"

Zuo Kai nodded: "My father was a bookkeeper in his early years, and he also taught young children some calligraphy."

Di Lie didn't say any more, but tore off a piece of cloth, then poured wine on the cloth and soaked it.

Yang Zhechong on the side sniffed the strange fragrance and couldn't help but said: "Chief, what are you doing? Don't spill it if you don't want to drink it. Otherwise, give me a taste..."

Di Lie ignored him, just dug a hole in the ground with his dagger, threw down the cloth soaked in wine, and then took out a military windproof lighter and lit the cloth with a "pop". The faint blue flames were like a ghost in the night.

The dancing elves quickly wrapped the long cloth in a ball of flames. Because the cloth was burning in the pit and Di Lie's body was consciously blocked, the flames were not noticed by the patrols of the Jin Army camp in the distance.

Yang Zhechong was speechless when he saw it. Such exquisite Huozhezi had never been heard of before. The leader had too many good things in his hands, right?

It can burn strips of cloth, and the alcohol content will not be lower than 50 degrees. Di Lie nodded with satisfaction and said to Zuo Kai: "How many such high-alcohol wines are there in the wine cellar you guard?"

Zuo Kai replied without thinking: "Golden Dog comes from the extremely cold land of Liaodong. He likes strong drinks, and the stronger the better. He disdains sake and won't pack it away."

"That is to say, the wine cellar is full of high-strength liquor." Di Lie glanced at Zuo Kai lightly, "Do you want to atone for your sins?"

Zuo Kaixin was thinking a lot, and he vaguely guessed what Di Lie was going to do. He quickly patted his chest and said, "Thanks to the leader for not killing him, I have nothing to repay. I only wish to attach tail wings to help the dog and horse."

Yang Zhechong couldn't stand such a slippery-mouthed guy, so he whispered, "Do you really want to accept this guy?"

Di Lie smeared the dagger with mud to cover the reflection of the dagger, and replied: "One more person will give you more strength, and we need him to lead the way now."

Yang Zhechong suddenly became excited: "What are you going to do?"

Di Lie folded the dagger and raised his head, his eyes shining in the darkness: "I want to give the golden man a big gift."

"Give, give a gift?" Yang Zhechong's mind was a little confused, "What kind of big gift should I give?"

"That's it." Di Lie flipped his wrist, and the small gourd filled with strong liquor was spinning in his palm.
