The army burned down the floating bridge on the Jishui River...

In the sky-storming fire, Yue Fei, Zhe Kecun, Roland and others led their troops to retreat into the city.

The atmosphere in Baixiangcheng was very depressing, and sadness and despair filled the entire city. The soldiers looked solemn, the people were frightened, and everyone gathered on both sides of the street to welcome the warriors who returned from the battlefield.

No one spoke, and soft crying came from the night wind from time to time. Horse hooves hit the hard stone ground, making a crisp sound. The sound gradually gathered together, shocking people's hearts, making people feel sad and painful, and a kind of despair like a hero's end.

"Is there any news in the direction of Gaoyi?" Yue Fei couldn't stand this extremely depressing atmosphere and suddenly turned to ask Roland beside him.

Roland shook his head, "When I got here, Zhe Shuai was already lined up on the river bank, and the Jin army had followed him, so we immediately launched a counterattack."

"The infantry of the 10th Army of Hulie retreated Gaoyi in advance." Yue Fei said hoarsely, "There should be no problem for Gaoyi to be supported by Shuai Lu and Shuai Lin." He looked at the people on both sides of the street and sighed deeply, "These people must retreat overnight. We cannot defend Baixiang, nor Xingzhou."

"Turn away from Handan?" Zhe Kecun frowned deeply, his face looked ugly, "We won't save Yao Shuai?"

Yue Fei looked ashamed and his cheeks couldn't help but twitched a few times.

"Ship Yue, the order given by Xuanfusi is to go to Shenzhou to rescue Yao Shuai." Zhe Kecun asked sternly, "Are you going to disobey the order?" Tens of thousands of Northwest Army were surrounded in Shenzhou and did not rescue them in time, so the Northwest Army was defeated so severely.

Yue Fei was silent for a while and whispered: "I'll take responsibility for it."

"You're here to bear it?" Zhe Kecun was furious. "You can afford it if you have tens of thousands of lives or deaths?"

"Zhe Shuai..." Roland hurriedly shook his hand. "There are more than 100,000 Jin troops opposite. And we only have 20,000 to 30,000 people..." Roland turned his head and looked behind him. He said in pain. "There are only so many of Zhe Shuai. It would be great if it could be saved."

Zhe Kecun knew that Yue Fei could not save Yao Gu and the tens of thousands of Northwest Army. But his heart was so painful that it hurt to the core. The pain made him unable to help but roar. Why is this happening? Why did the Song army lose one battle? The soldiers from Zhong Shizhong and Qin Feng were wiped out. Could it be that Yao Gu and the soldiers from Xihe also followed in the footsteps?

Roland took off his pocket and showed his handsome and handsome face. He lowered his head in a dark way. He wanted to comfort Joe Kecun. But he didn't know what to say. He sighed and looked at the people on the roadside. The helplessness came into his eyes, and his heart was trembling with grief and despair.

"Where is the Tiger King? Why can't the Tiger King save us from Hebei?"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd screamed at the top of his throat. Roland suddenly looked at it and it turned out to be Qin Dashan.

Qin Dashan woke up the people who were in despair and shouted. More and more people thought of the myth of the Tiger King in Daibei's invincible battle. In the moment of despair, people forgot that the Tiger King was a Han enemy. The Tiger Army was a foreign army, and forgot the threat from the Tiger King and the Tiger Army to the Song Dynasty. In the face of death, people dreamed of catching the life-saving straw, and the Tiger King was now their only life-saving straw.

The shouts were getting louder and louder, and many people covered their faces and cried.

Yue Fei looked cold and suddenly felt a sense of resentment in his heart. The eldest brother was in Luoyang, only six or seven hundred miles away from Hebei. He marched quickly and could arrive in ten days. Why didn’t he come? Why did he watch the Jinlu poison the creatures?

The anger that was accumulated in Zhe Kecun was suddenly dispersed by these shouts. As one of the core figures of the Zhe family, Zhe Kecun still had a certain understanding of Li Hu. Li Hu must come to Hebei. No matter what Li Hu wanted to do in the Song Dynasty, he must finally go to Hebei and defeat the Jin army, otherwise it would be difficult for him to achieve his goal. As long as Li Hu came, the good days of the Jurchens would come to an end. However, Li Hu would not come for the time being, nor would he rush to Hebei to rescue Yao Gu, because he had to be careful of Bian Jing taking a traitor behind his back. Bian Jing plotted against Li Hu more than once, but the situation was different at this moment. If Li Hu was defeated in Hebei, he would be finished. Talking about one thousand words, the Song Dynasty came to this desperate situation today because of Bian Jing. If Bian Jing did not change the sky, if Bian Jing was still controlled by the treacherous Tong Guan, then the Song Dynasty would not last long.

Roland urged the horse to walk to the side of the road, waved at Qin Dashan, and called him to his side.

"All the people in Ningjin City have retreated?"

Qin Dashan shook his head, "Only a small part of it has been withdrawn."

"You just care about running for your own life?" Roland said with dissatisfaction with a frown.

"You misunderstood me." Qin Dashan hurriedly explained, "I told them, I posted notices everywhere, but the people did not believe it. They thought that the city would be safe when the Hu Lie Army arrived and they were unwilling to leave their homes."

Roland smiled bitterly, not knowing what the people who stayed behind would be like in the future.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you stay." Qin Dashan obviously couldn't bear to leave home, and even more reluctant to abandon all the property in his family. "In a short time, you will defeat the Golden Dog and take back the city."

Roland felt suffocated and a hint of shame appeared in his eyes.

Call back again? When will you call back again? In his opinion, it will take a long time to call back even if you call back again.

The people of the Song Dynasty did not agree with the Tiger Lieutenant Army, and the Tiger Lieutenant Army did not regard themselves as the people of the Song Dynasty. Northern Han people like Roland would never fight the Tiger Lieutenant Army to guard the territory of the Song Dynasty. What did Li Hu think, Roland didn't know, but Roland believed that most generals of the Tiger Lieutenant Army, especially those in the Khitan and Bohai.

, they would never sacrifice their lives for the Song Dynasty. Even if they came to the battlefield in Hebei soon, they would have been for the survival of the Tiger Lieutenant Army, not for the survival of the Song Dynasty. Now that the Tiger Lieutenant Army has arrived in Taiyuan and Chang'an, they have basically controlled the northwest. The Tiger Lieutenant Army finally found a very good place for survival and development. At this time, how many Tiger Lie generals are willing to go to the battlefield in Hebei and fight their troops out? Unless their minds are in trouble, they are crazy.

The army of the Song Dynasty: All those who fight are coming, and those who cannot fight are still living happily everywhere. It is too difficult to defeat the Jin army and recover Hebei by relying solely on this Northwest Army.

"Do you believe me?" Roland hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice.

Qin Dashan saw Roland's serious and fearful look on his face, and nodded repeatedly.

"Then you keep going south, go immediately, go overnight." Roland said anxiously, "Don't stop, go south and cross the Yellow River."

Crossing the Yellow River? Qin Dashan looked at Luo Lan in shock, unable to believe his ears. Crossing the Yellow River? Do they want to give up Hebei? Do they want to abandon the Song Dynasty?

Roland beat the horse away.

Qin Dahai looked at his back blankly, his whole body was cold, and fear invaded his body in an instant. At this moment, he was not worried about the loss of Hebei but about the future of his family.

From Baixiang to the south bank of the Yellow River, about five or six hundred miles away. He abandoned all his property and fled with his family. What should he do if he eats and drinks along the way? How to survive when he arrives at the south side of the Yellow River? The more he thinks, the more he is afraid his body will tremble involuntarily.

"Brother, what did that person say?" Qin Dashan's younger brother trembled all over when he was so scared that he hurriedly grabbed his arm and asked.

"He told me to escape quickly and flee to the south of the Yellow River." Qin Dashan's lips were trembling, and he was suffocating and could not say a few words.

The two brothers stared at each other for a long time, suddenly, and turned around and ran away, pushing the crowd away regardless of everything, running towards the carriage carrying the whole family.

"Brother, do we want to buy some food?"

"Can you still buy food here?" Qin Dashan gasped and said in a daze, "There are still some in the car, so we can save on eating. Let's talk about it after crossing the Yellow River."

The figures of the two brothers soon sank into the dark night, and their future was darker than this night.

Late at night, the scouts heard that the 10th Army of Hulien fled back and was crossing the river northwest of Baixiang.

The Huaishui River goes from north to south, while the Jishui River runs east to east, and the two rivers meet in Baixiang. The 10th Army of Hulien is now located to the west of Huaishui River, while the Jin army is to the east of this river, so there is no danger when Hulien Army crosses the river.

Then, the scout sent another message, the seventh and eighth army abandoned Gaoyi and retreated.

Yue Fei sighed to the sky.

He originally planned to block the Jin army on the front line of the Jishui River to wait for reinforcements in the direction, but now this idea is no longer valid. In this battle, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army suffered a severe blow and their morale was severely damaged. It was impossible to stop the Jin army at all. He had to continue to retreat. Withdrawal could still save the existing army, and continued combat could lead to annihilation.

Zhe Kecun, and Roland had no choice but to accept the facts. The two discussed with Yue Fei for a while, and then informed the officials in Baixiangcheng to organize the people to evacuate overnight. It is impossible to strengthen the walls and clear the fields now. They can only evacuate the people, and the amount they can evacuate is calculated as much as they can.

"We will hold on for one day." Yue Fei said, "After dark tomorrow, the entire army will evacuate."

"Do you want to send someone to sue Xingzhou Prefecture and ask the Xingzhou government to organize the people of Xingzhou to evacuate immediately?" Roland asked.

"It's too late." Yue Fei shook his head and sighed, "Send someone to report to Xingzhou Prefecture urgently and do your best."

July 27, Hebei, Handan, Cizhou, Hebei.

When Li Gang received Yue Fei's letter, he changed his color in shock. His heart felt as if he was hit hard, his face turned pale because of pain, and his forehead immediately covered with beads of sweat.

Yue Fei's failure in rescue meant that Yao Gu and his 50,000 troops were wiped out. In this way, Zhending, Dingzhou (Zhongshan) and Hejian in northern Hebei were all lost, leaving only one Daming Mansion.

Liu was also stupid. The situation in Hebei deteriorated sharply, the Jin army was as powerful as the desolation of Xiu, the Song army retreated step by step, and Bianjing was in danger.

"Immediately request Bianjing, ask Your Majesty to supervise the King of Han, and immediately lead the main force of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army into the battlefield in Hebei." Zong Ze, the governor of Cizhou, immediately made a suggestion.

Li Gang and Liu looked at each other speechlessly. Both of them knew what was going on in Bianjing now. At this time, Li Hu didn't dare to come to Hebei at all, but facing Zong Ze, who was 69 years old, neither Li Gang nor Liu knew what to say.

Zong Ze was a voluntary from Liangzhe. He worked for generations and was poor in his family. He participated in the imperial examination at the age of 31. Because of his countermeasures, he was suppressed by the examiner as a "senior Jinshi" and then served as a county magistrate. During the Xuanhe period, he heard that the court wanted to join the Jin Dynasty to attack Liao, and submitted a reply, but was demoted. Later, he was dismissed from office and house arrest for offending the powerful and powerful for two years. After his comeback, he continued to be a small official such as a magistrate. He was not reused until the crown prince Zhao Heng ascended the throne and became the governor of Cizhou. At that time, he was already 69 years old.

"The court is discussing peace. I heard that the emperor intends to ced Hebei and divide a river with the Jin Kingdom to govern." Li Gang was worried that Zong Ze's straightforward temper would cause trouble to him, so he had to tell the truth. "Bianjing believes that the most threat to the Song Dynasty was the King of Han, so once the Song and Jin Dynasty negotiated peace, they would definitely join forces to deal with the King of Han. Just imagine that the King of Han came to Hebei at this time, wouldn't he seek death?"
