"500 people, why?"
"500 people? Why don't you bring more people here, so that we can go to the capital together!"
Zhang Jun looked at Zong Ze as if he was insane, but there was still a smile on his face.
This is an extremely hypocritical speculator, who has been speculating all his life, and he is also responsible for Yue Fei's death.
At the same time, he is also one of Zhao Gou's kneeling and licking clan.
"Deputy Marshal Zong, I came here on the orders of the Grand Marshal to inform the Deputy Marshal to stop fighting the Jin Army."
"Why is this?"
"There has been news from the capital that the officials and the Jin people have reached an agreement. Now you are fighting with the Jin army here to put the officials in danger. What do you intend to do?"
"Ridiculous!" Zong Ze slapped the table angrily, and the table almost fell apart when he slapped it, making Zhang Jun jump.
Although Zong Ze said that his beard and hair were all white, but his anger was like a torrent of bells, he said angrily: "This is a treacherous scheme of gold thieves, the Generalissimo actually trusts Wang Boyan's idiot!"
Zhang Jun was taken aback, he didn't expect Zong Ze to reprimand Zhao Gou like this, and he couldn't help but secretly scolded Zong Ze for being stupid and not knowing how to be an official.
Zongze continued: "Zhang Tongzhi, are you willing to send troops to come south with me to serve the king?"
"This... I am naturally loyal to the official family, but at this time the Generalissimo has ordered, I will never disobey the military order!"
"Yue Fei!" Zong Ze yelled, and Yue Fei brought a few people in, "Zong Shuai, what are your orders?"
"Blast this person out!"
Zhang Jun didn't expect Zong Ze to be so courageous, he quickly said: "Zong Ze, I was sent by the Generalissimo, what right do you have to throw me out!"
"Zhang Jun, go back and tell the Generalissimo to keep him away from villains like Wang Boyan! The official family is still in the capital!"
Zhao Ye, Fan Ne, and Zeng Mao, the marching chiefs of the Daming Mansion, all have soldiers, but they all look at the face of Generalissimo Zhao Gou now.
None of them were willing to send troops, and Zhao Gou was now a shield for their fear and reluctance to send troops.
Yue Fei stepped forward and said, "Please!"
"What are you! Get out of the way!" Zhang Jun was furious.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Fei grabbed Zhang Jun with one hand and pushed down with one hand.
Before Zhang Jun could react, he was immediately subdued.
Chapter 55 Zong Han, that's right, everything is developing according to my prediction
Even Zhang Jun was a member of the army, but facing Yue Fei, he was powerless to fight back.
Seeing this, the people brought by Zhang Jun were also frightened, not daring to show any emotion.
Yue Fei took Zhang Jun out.
Zhang Jun was still shouting there: "Zong Ze, you dare to treat me like this, the Generalissimo will not let you go!"
Zhang Jun was kicked out of Huazhou.
Zong Ze said to Yue Fei who came back: "Yue Fei, do you know why the Commander drove him away?"
"Zong Shuai, I don't know the end of the general, please ask Zong Shuai to make it clear."
"Zhang Jun was sent by the Generalissimo and told us not to move because they heard that the officials had already negotiated peace with the Jin people. Yue Fei, if it were you, what would you do?"
Yue Fei thought for a while and said: "Zong Shuai, the general will not believe that the officials negotiate peace with the Jin people."
"Why?"
"The Jin people don't make peace! The Jin people are ambitious and want to destroy the Song Dynasty! Even if the Jin people want to negotiate peace, they are deceiving us!"
The young Yue Fei had firm eyes.
At this time, Yue Fei hadn't grown into a well-known general in the world.
He has just become Zong Ze's general.
At this time in history, Zong Ze had a great influence on Yue Fei, and the two were both teachers and friends.
Zong Ze smiled and said, "What does this have to do with my expelling Zhang Jun?"
"The marshal wants to express his position to the three armies. Anyone who dares to say no to fighting will be severely punished!"
"Okay! Good, you Yue Fei! Well said! But you don't have to fight the Jinren head-on, and restraining the Jinren is also fighting! The commander-in-chief drove him out to strengthen our army's morale. We must not allow anyone to fight at this time." Shake the determination of the soldiers of the armed forces!"
Zong Ze loved the young man in front of him very much, he really seemed to see himself when he was young.
His blood was full of passion, and his eyes were burning with the brilliance of ideals.
"Yue Fei, I'm here to remind you."
"Please teach me, Marshal."
"You can't just fight field battles. You can fight well in field battles. You also need to learn how to defend the city, divide your troops into formations, dispatch your troops, take life and death, conquer people with virtue, and rule the army with prestige, understand?"
"Thank you Marshal for teaching, I will always remember it in my heart!"
Zong Ze patted Yue Fei on the shoulder.
On February [-]th, spies from the front reported that a Jin army had crossed the Yellow River and was heading towards Huazhou.
It is said that there was a considerable part of the cavalry.
Liu Hao said: "Zong Shuai, why don't you take advantage of the morale victory and fight the gold thief again!"
"No! The ones coming from the south of the Yellow River must be the elite troops of the gold bandits. They may be kidnappers. Our army has been fighting for half a month. We are exhausted and there are many wounded. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time!"
"How about that?"
"The commander-in-chief ordered that the entire army quickly withdraw from Huazhou."
"This... Now that we have won the battle, do we still want to withdraw?"
"Withdraw! This is an order!"
"Yes!"
The people from Wanyan Wushu originally planned to go to Huazhou to persuade Zongze to surrender, but unexpectedly when they arrived in Huazhou, the people were gone, and so was the army.
Wanyan Wushu said: "It seems that this old general Zong is unwilling to surrender and played hide-and-seek with us. This handsome will play with you."
On February [-]th, it snowed heavily.
Liu Hao, who was marching, asked: "Marshal, are we going to keep avoiding the enemy's soldiers?"
"No, when the rebels arrive, many people have already written letters to me, and they will arrive soon."
When Liu Hao heard that there were reinforcements, he was overjoyed.
Time passed quickly, and it was late February in a blink of an eye.
Wanyan Zonghan asked: "How about Wushu?"
"Marshal, there is no news from Wushu."
Wanyan Zonghan became a little anxious, and it was already late February.
"Has the food been collected?"
"The news just came today that the collection has been over for a month."
"Only a month?"
Shi Liai said: "Both Zhengzhou and Luoyang have run out of food to collect."
"So, our food can only be late until mid-April at most?"
"That's what happened."
"What if you force the villagers around?"
"Marshal, it's time to go. Many villagers either fled south or became bandits. They hid as much food as they could. Up to now, no one has plowed in the fields."
"You go and arrange someone to see what's going on in Bianjing."
"Yes, I'll make arrangements now."
After Shi Liai went down, Wanyan Zonghan fell into deep thought.
If he retreats, it means that the battle has been lost. After he returns, someone in the court will definitely make a fuss about him.
Wanyan Zonghan was in a very upset mood.
He thinks that the current situation is already very bad, and his situation will not be worse than it is now, it depends on who is worse between himself and the dog emperor.
He thought it must be Zhao Ning who couldn't stand it first.
But what he didn't expect was that just as Shi Li'ai went out, another message came from behind that made him jump.
what news?
Wanyan Wushu went to persuade Zongze to surrender, but no one saw him. As a result, half a month later, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Hebei suddenly appeared and gathered under Zongze's command.
Gathered in Huazhou and Kaide Mansion area, the momentum is huge.
Since noon today, until three days later, similar news has been coming.
Hebei Song Army gathered and responded!
If it was two months ago, Wanyan Zonghan would not have any worries.
But now there is no progress in conquering Bianjing, and there is not much food and grass. Suddenly there are so many Song troops, he must take this matter seriously.
This Zongze made him worry.
Wanyan Zonghan is a brave and powerful person who is good at fighting, but he is by no means the kind of arrogant and brainless person.
On the contrary, he is very good at marching and fighting, strategic deployment, and employing people. After all, he once fought with Wanyan Agu in the Southern and Northern Wars and learned a lot.
Why did Hebei suddenly gather so many Song troops?
In fact, to be precise, it is not the Song Army, but the Rebel Army.
That is to say, the troops temporarily formed by the people, they can be called the militia, they don't even have armor, most of them are the same as the ordinary people in Tokyo, to defend their homeland.
Zong Ze's victories all the way in Hebei, and his reputation shook the world. At this time, he recruited from all sides, and naturally everyone responded.
However, Zongze's current tactic is not to fight the Jin army head-on, but to deter the Jin army from the side, so that the Jin army will be wary.
Apparently Zong Ze also knew the current pain points of Jin Jun.
The so-called soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and fighting is not a trick that is eaten all over the world.
The second day of March.
Wanyan Zonghan asked, "Have you found that Zongze?"
Shi Liai smiled wryly and said, "Suddenly, I avoided fighting instead of fighting."
"What about Bianjing City?"
"No response."
"I don't believe that the dog emperor can't run out of food!"
Wanyan Zongwang was watching all of this coldly.
Shi Liai said: "Marshal, it's been three months, we have to make some objective decisions."
"You mean retreat?"
"The lower official is saying that we must prepare in advance. After all, there are many Song troops gathered in Hebei now. If we retreat in a hurry, it will not be good for our army."
Wanyan Zonghan fell silent, and he fell into calm thinking.
The ice and snow melt in March, and in April (lunar calendar), the temperature rises, and it is early summer.
Jurchens like Wanyan Zonghan who grew up in the Northeast are very afraid of heat.
Shi Liai said: "Marshal, don't be too persistent. This time we went south, we also gained something. Taiyuan was conquered by us. We took down the three important towns of Hebei and Hedong in the Song Dynasty. They lost their barriers. What do we think?" Come when the time comes."
Wanyan Zonghan sighed, and said, "It's not that I'm unwilling to withdraw my troops, I just remembered..."
He stopped and stopped talking.
Shi Liai knew what Wanyan Zonghan wanted to say.
He wanted to say that he remembered the article "On the Early Stage of the Song-Jin War" written by Emperor Dog.
The trend in the past few months has all been developed according to that article.
