Early in the morning of the eighth day of October, the sky had just dawned. The cold wind of late autumn was howling on the Hebei plain, and everything was depressed.

After passing through the woods ahead, there is an endless stretch of deserted fields.

Since the Jin army moved south last year, countless people have died and fled.

Bandits appeared in many places in Hebei, such as Yang Jin. He took the opportunity to gather a large number of people at this time and encircled the land as king. He was known as a hundred thousand people. For several months, he took advantage of the administrative collapse of the imperial court in this area and went on a rampage.

The land of Jizhou.

Jizhou, which was already suffering from war, became even more miserable.

A cavalry force of about 200 people quickly rushed towards Hengshui County.

The leader was Xiao Buli, who had just left Hengshui two days ago.

Seeing Xiao Buli, the guards of Hengshui County opened the city gate without any suspicion.

Xiao Buli said to the defenders: "Go and call Yang Jin to see me!"

The military leader guarding the city was Yang Jin's nephew, named Yang Zhong. He put on an extremely flattering smile and said, "I wonder what Shangguan wants to do with our boss?"

Xiao Buli said in suppressed Chinese: "Stop talking nonsense and let him come out!"

Xiao Buli pretended to be calm, but in fact he was sweating behind his back, because the people around him were pretending to be Song troops. As long as he did not cooperate, he would be killed immediately, and he would not even have a chance to escape.

"Shangguan, our boss has taken people to Fucheng County."

"Oh, when did you go?"

"I moved my body yesterday."

Wang Gui turned around and immediately waved to the person next to him.

After receiving Wang Gui's order, the man immediately led more than twenty people out of the city.

Yang Zhong said: "They are..."

"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask!"

Yang Zhong immediately shrank back, then changed the subject and asked: "Shangguan, you are injured. I have golden sore medicine here, why don't I give it to you..."

"I told you, don't ask questions when it's not your place to talk!" Xiao Buli was so nervous that he wanted to go over and stab Yang Zhong to death.

If he was exposed, he didn't think Yang Zhong could save him. The Song troops around him would definitely cut him into pieces as soon as possible.

Yang Zhong was honest and did not dare to ask any more questions. He just said: "Shangguan, the weather is cold. Please come here and we will prepare some wine and food."

Wang Gui, who was wearing the clothes of the Jin Army, said: "Mou Ke, the men are all hungry."

Xiao Buli immediately said: "Let's go!"

Therefore, this group of people was arranged to Yang Jin's mansion and served as the most distinguished guests.

Not long after, Wang Gui sent those who had returned to the military camp.

Yue Fei received the news that Yang Jin had left for Fucheng County yesterday.

"Zhang Xian."

"The end is here!"

"Hurry up and take 50 cavalry to Fucheng County to inform the defenders there. You must be quick!"

"yes!"

Zhang Xian led 50 cavalry and rushed all the way towards Fucheng County.

Fucheng County belongs to the defense line of Yongjing Army, which is on the eastern front and is unified under the jurisdiction of Li Gang. It is unknown who Yue Fei is as the defender of Fucheng County.

At this time, the most important thing is to arrive in Fucheng County ahead of Yang Jin and notify the defenders there to avoid falling into Yang Jin's scheme.

When Yue Fei learned that Yang Jin had gone to Fucheng County, he immediately led his entire army and quickly advanced towards Hengshui County.

Hengshui County is located in the hinterland of Jizhou and is the northern gateway to Daming Prefecture.

There are 300 miles from Hengshui County to Daming City in Beijing. Within these 300 miles, there are already more than 20 Song Army fortresses, forming a strategic depth that has begun to take shape.

If the Song Army's central line wants to build its defense line to Shenzhou in the north of Jizhou and form an east-west pincer attack on Hejian Prefecture together with the Yongjing Army, it must clear away the restless forces among the people in Jizhou.

This is also Yue Fei's mission.

Yue Fei's army was very fast. In the morning, the guards at the head of Hengshui County saw a dark mass of Song troops rushing towards them.

They immediately went to report Yang Zhong.

"What, the Song Army is calling!"

"Absolutely true!"

"how many people?"

"Look at the posture, there are thousands of troops."

Yang Zhong laughed and said: "I still have six thousand defenders in the city. As long as they don't leave the city, the advantage is mine!"

At this time, Wang Gui, who was sitting next to Xiao Buli, gave Xiao Buli a look. Xiao Buli quickly said: "Let's go to the top of the city to have a look."

Yang Zhong immediately said: "If the Song army can't attack, Shangguan doesn't have to worry."

Xiao Buli said angrily: "I want to take a look!"

Yang Zhong was shocked. These Jin soldiers must be mentally ill. In this cold weather, instead of staying in the house drinking and eating meat, they went to the city to join in the fun!

He had no choice but to take everyone to the top of the city.

When we went to the city head, we saw Yue Fei's men and horses at the bottom of the city. They didn't even bring any siege equipment. How dare they be so arrogant?

Are these people going to climb up the city?

Yang Zhong laughed and said: "Who is coming!"

Yue Fei replied: "I am Yue Fei, the commander-in-chief of Jizhou, Hebei Province. The city must surrender immediately. I, my commander, will spare your life!"

When Yang Zhong heard that he was actually someone sent by the imperial court, he would have been afraid before, but it was different now. They had already surrendered to the Jin army and had a backer.

Yang Zhong looked up to the sky and laughed loudly at the top of the city: "Yue Fei? I have never heard of your name, but you are just a nobody. How dare you act so arrogantly here? Please retreat quickly, lest our army from the city come out and your bones will be wiped out."

!”

After saying that, he turned to Xiao Buli and said: "Shangguan, you don't have to worry. The Song generals below are juniors and there is nothing to be afraid of. They..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Gui next to him suddenly pulled out a knife, startling Yang Zhong.

Before Yang Zhong had time to react, the knife was already placed on his neck.

With Yang Zhong's brain, even if he forced two heads into it, he couldn't figure out why these Jin soldiers put the knife on his neck at this moment.

He was completely confused.

Wang Gui said: "Open the city gate!"

"Shangguan, this..."

"Open the city gate! Didn't you hear me? If you don't open the city gate, I will chop you down!"

Yang Zhong was confused, and those who came with Yang Zhong were also confused.

"Don't you understand?" Wang Gui pulled out his dagger and stabbed Yang Zhong in the arm. Only then did Yang Zhong come to his senses with a scream and shouted, "Open the city gate! Open the city gate quickly!"

"

Others, you look at me and I look at you!

"Straight bitch! You want to kill me! Open the door quickly!" Yang Zhong screamed in a heart-rending voice.

Soon, the city gate was opened.

Yue Fei led his army into Hengshui County and took back this important place in Jizhou.

The tenth day of October, Fucheng County.

Kong Yanzhou, the commander of the military capital, was having fun in the government office. There were four naked women in his room.

Kong Yanzhou was originally under the jurisdiction of the Jingdong East Road troops. When Li Gang took office, he mobilized most of the imperial troops from Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road to the east line of Hebei East Road.

The number of regular troops mobilized was as high as 100,000, and they were successively deployed in Enzhou, Yongjing Army, and Cangzhou.

Kong Yanzhou is one of those who were mobilized. His current position is the commander of the Fucheng Army, and he is in charge of an army's strength, which is about 2,500 to 3,000 people.

This is the regular army, that is, the number of the Forbidden Army, not counting the local troops.

The Xiang Army was the local regular army of the Song Dynasty, and was under the jurisdiction of the Guards Horse Army Division and the Guards Infantry Division.

The main tasks are building cities, making weapons, building roads and bridges, transporting grain and reclaiming wasteland, and guarding and escorting officials, etc. There are generally no training or combat tasks.

But at an extraordinary opportunity, troops were being recruited from all over the country, and local armies were also recruited into the regular army.

Although there are only 3,000 regular troops under Kong Yanzhou's command, there are actually 20,000 Xiang troops in Fucheng County.

"Report! Commander, there is someone outside asking to see you!"
Chapter completed!
