Huai'an.

The vast convoy headed toward Bianjing in the northwest direction.

There were a total of 20,000 Yuqiansi troops guarding the front and rear.

In the carriage, Liu Chan lay down comfortably.

After recovering a little, he left Jiankang.

Come to the northern defense line and start inspecting it, checking the defenses and so on.

Prepare for the subsequent large-scale Northern Expedition.

The inspection started from Zhang Jun's department on the far right, and today we completed the inspection of Han Shizhong's department.

The end of the journey is naturally where the Yue Family Army is.

In a sense, Yue Fei's wish finally came true.

Liu Chan, an official, left the rear and came to Bianjing to take charge.

It is of great significance both to the morale of the Yue family army and to the encouragement of the people.

"so tired."

Liu Chan walked for a day, and his feet were a little sore.

Yang Yizhong, the imperial commander in the carriage, just burst into tears.

In his mind, Liu Chan dragged his sick body and forced himself to inspect the troops.

Before that, he News of the coma has spread a lot.

This can firstly calm the morale of the military, and secondly, it can calm the morale of the people.

"Officials should still take care of their bodies."

Yang Yizhong cupped his hands and advised.

"My health is good, but I have been walking a lot. Liu

Chan waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

I have stayed in the palace for too long in the past two years, and it is time to strengthen my exercise.

I have gained twenty or thirty kilograms, which is naturally a burden.

After hearing this, Yang Yizhong could hardly control himself. My own emotions.

I thought the other party was comforting me.

I endured my serious illness and diligently inspected the sidelines!

The image of Liu Chan in my mind became even taller!

The officials at this moment seemed to be comparable to Tang Zong Song Zu!

"Why are you crying?"

Liu Chan just felt baffled when he saw this.

Why are the ministers around him so fond of crying recently?

Yue Fei, Zhang Jun, Zhao Ding, why do even Yang Yizhong cry from time to time?

He had no idea that he was in the hearts of the ministers.

It is almost becoming a saint!

Yucheng.

It is already dark, so Liu Chan stays in the city temporarily.

The county government house is the most complete building in the city.

The rest of the buildings were damaged due to the ravages of the Jin people before.

An hour later , Yuqiansi was stationed for defense and the arrangements were well made.

In the room, Liu Chan, who had settled down, looked at the map.

He moved his eyes to Shangqiu not far to the north.

"I remember that the person stationed here is called Liu Qi."

Liu Chan is not unfamiliar with this name. He is a well-known military commander.

"The official is none other than Liu Qi.

The son of Liu Zhongwu, the governor of Luchuan, was promoted by Xianggong Zhang to participate in the Battle of Fuping.

He is in charge of the company affairs of the bodyguard Ma Jun, and now leads the Eight-Character Army to guard it."

Yang Yizhong on the side replied.

Liu Chan didn't hear much about this title, so he became a little interested.

"Are they called the Eight-Character Army?

Which eight? Yang

Yizhong thought for a while and said seriously

"Serve the country with all my heart and swear to kill the gold thief."

After listening to the experience of this team, Liu Chan felt a little more respectful.

Obviously, this name cannot be the people of the imperial court.

It is an anti-gold team formed spontaneously by the people in Hebei and other places, because these eight characters are engraved on their faces. And famous.

When the number of people was the largest, various rebels joined, and it once reached 100,000.

Even though it was a little watery, it still made remarkable achievements in resisting gold!

He fought side by side with Yue Fei back then.

"Later, after the rebel army was converted into an official army, why didn't I hear about it?"

Liu Chan was a little puzzled.

Why did such a team that once made great achievements in battle become unknown now?

Hearing this, Yang Yizhong couldn't help but have a look of disdain on his face.

"Do the officials still remember Huang Qianshan? It was this treacherous prime minister who placed the Eight-Character Army in the rear.

In addition, their leader Wang Yan died in depression."

He didn't finish the rest of the words, but Liu Chan suddenly understood.

For a team of people with faith and bravery, the general is crucial.

Just like Yue Fei means to the Yue family army.

As for Huang Qianshan, he is called the surrender faction. It is most appropriate.

The death of the general and the long-term absence from the front line are undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Eight-Character Army.

If the defense line was not too long and there were not enough manpower, the people defending here should be Yue Jiajun or Han Shizhong's troops.

After all, the Jin army stationed opposite Shangqiu is a serious Jin army, not a fake Qi army.

The idea of ​​Yue Fei and Han Shizhong is that the Eight-Character Army will delay the Jin people for the time being. Then their troops will support them.

As for resisting the Jin Army alone?

For the Eight-Character Army It is still a bit difficult.

After all, there are 20,000 of them in total, and only 5,000 elites can fight against the Jin. On the other hand, if the Jin is dispatched, there must be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops.

"Alas, what a pity for such a loyal and loyal teacher."

Liu Chan splashed ink and wrote on the rice paper:"Serve the country with all my heart and swear to kill the golden thief".

"I give this calligraphy to Liu Qi and his Eight-Character Army. I have high hopes for them.

I hope to see them on the territory of the Kingdom of Jin one day.

They are as loyal as the Yue Family Army!"

"Yes!"

Yang Yizhong nodded, and then sent someone to send the official calligraphy. What

Liu Chan didn't expect was his random move. What a surprise for Liu Qi, and what an encouragement to the entire Eight-Character Army!

I originally thought that he would be Forgotten, they felt the high expectations of the officials for them.

Compared with today's Yue Family Army, what a glory!

The whole army was excited!

At the same time.

A hundred miles north.

The Jin Army concealed its whereabouts and rested during the day. On the way in the evening.

Slowly approaching the border between Song and Jin Dynasties

"You said, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is opposite?"

Wanyan Wushu frowned and looked at the other party.

"The commander-in-chief is definitely the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and the pomp and circumstance is simply unparalleled.

Never seen that in my life!"

The other party is a smuggling businessman and a spy who delivers news.

He had seen Liu Chan's motorcade from a distance before, with a grand display of 20,000 people in front and behind.

Emperor of the Song Dynasty."

Wanyan Wushu suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.

Since he wants to tear up the peace talks between Song and Jin and sneak attack the Song army.

Why not do a big one at once?

Capture the emperor of the Song people again!

It must be said that the Jin people are a bit He became addicted to catching the emperor.

Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were captured, giving them huge benefits.

Coupled with Liu Chan's growing reputation in the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Wushu felt that he should take this risk.

Now he is not a fringe; Replaced Wanyan Zongpan. He was worshiped as the Taibao of the Jin Kingdom and took over the military and political power.

As early as a month ago, he secretly issued the order to destroy the Song Dynasty!

Not only the central part, but also the Jin army in the east and west will follow him and attack with the whole army!

He led the most elite troops to fight against the Yue Family Army.

Wanyan Wushu believed that as long as he defeated Yue Fei, those in other directions, such as Wu Jie and Han Shizhong's troops, would fall apart.

Only the Yue Family Army was the golden man. The troubles in their inner circle!

Solve them, and the Song Dynasty will be destroyed soon!

"You go."

Wanyan Wushu waved his hand and asked the other party to go down to receive the reward.

He came to the map and secretly calculated in his heart.

"By this route, the Song emperor must have gone to Bianjing.

But so many people definitely can't move fast, so the approximate location should be."

As a qualified general, Wanyan Wushu set his sights below Shangqiu.

A small area including Yu County where Liu Chan was located

"Come on, pass the order.

March south at full speed!"

A golden general hesitated.

"Commander, don’t you need to keep hiding your whereabouts?"

"I can't control that much, as long as I can capture the Song Emperor.

A few cities are nothing, and what is the Yue Family Army? We must catch up with the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"

"Liu Qi's Eight-Character Army was also stationed in Shangqiu, which was a threat.

If the city cannot be evacuated quickly, it will easily be surrounded by the reinforcing Song army."

A Jin military general said worriedly.

This place is a bit close to the Yue Family Army and Han Shizhong's troops. If you go too far inside, you will be surrounded accidentally.

"That broken city wall fell down after we kicked it.

What's there to worry about?

After capturing Shangqiu, they immediately searched for the Song emperor!

Yue Fei and Han Shizhong would definitely be too late to rescue!"

Wanyan Wushu looked towards the south, in the direction of Liu Chan, with a light in his eyes. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

This time he wanted to compare.

Whose national destiny is the Jin Kingdom or the Song Kingdom? More prosperous!

……

Shangqiu.

Liu Qi and the Eight Character Army were still immersed in the joy of being recognized by the officials, but they didn't want bad news to come one after another.

"A gold man was found fifty miles away"

"There are tens of thousands of people!"

"They are the elite Jin people led by Wanyan Wushu, including cavalry and infantry!

Heading south at full speed!"

The bad news one after another made Liu Qi's face turn livid.

All the generals knew that Wanyan Wushu was now in power, and they were mentally prepared.

But they didn't expect that the war would come so quickly.

One month after the coup If not, Wanyan Wushu will tear up the peace treaty!

In the city, the generals are discussing matters

"It's over, Wanyan Wushu is here, and he must be bringing the kidnapper with himIron Buddha!

What are you still defending? Just withdraw!"

In the Eight-Character Army, someone immediately said in frustration.

"There are just a few thousand people here, and it’s not enough to feed them all."

Having not fought a major victory for a long time, the Eighth-Character Army immediately fell into depression and uneasiness.

"run? Can you outrun other people's cavalry?"

The so-called iron pagoda refers to heavy cavalry.

Different from the iron kites of Xixia, the iron pagoda of the Jin people is much more powerful. It is a double-layer armor with weapons such as swords and spears tied to the outside.

Whether it is swords, guns, sticks, Even bows and arrows cannot do any harm.

Only two eyes are left, and everything else is fully armed.

Both men and horses are covered in heavy armor, and they are invincible on the battlefield!

As for the kidnapping horses, they are light cavalry, even more so. Fatal.

Except for the Yue Family Army, no Song army dares to fight with it in the wild.

Once encountered, defeat is only a matter of time.

"Withdraw, we can't defeat you!"

Many people advised Liu Qi

"Yes, General, pull back a little.

We'll wait for the reinforcements from the Yue Family Army and Han Shizhong's troops to come and then go up to fight."

"You are right, facing it alone is a dead end!"

Everyone described the retreat as a strategic move in order to avoid its sharp edge.

Liu Qi was a little moved when he said this.

Anyway, the Eight-Character Army was just filling up the numbers, so why bother fighting for their lives!

But his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the hanging hanging on the lobby. Serving the country with all his heart, he swore to kill the golden thief.

He was shocked in his heart, and his face was full of panic!

Seeing this, everyone in the Eight-Character Army was a little puzzled.

But following the opponent's eyes, the generals present were frightened. I broke out in a cold sweat.

Everything came to my senses.

"Guan Jia, where did Guan Jia stay yesterday! Liu

Qi said with trembling lips

"Yes, in Yu County!"

The voices of others were also full of fear.

"It's the official family, their target is the official family!"

Someone shouted loudly

"'No wonder, no wonder they mobilized troops.

Instead of sneaking a surprise attack on Yue's army, he came to Shangqiu!"

"Quick, go tell the officials!"

Liu Qi was almost shouting as he spoke, and his whole mind went blank.

The man who was shouted turned around and ran away, his heart pounding!

There was only one thought in his head, and he quickly told the officials about the Jin people's attack.!

Until the person next to me yells,"Ride, ride!"

Only then did he react in a daze, and he mounted his horse and galloped away in a hurry.

There were more than a dozen waves of scouts who set off to deliver the message! The current official family is to the Song people what Yue Fei is to the Yue family army!

Don't let anything happen.!

The people who were originally discussing how to escape couldn't say a word of retreat at this moment.

Can they retreat?

No, if Shangqiu falls.

At Liu Chan's current forward speed, there is a 100% chance that the Jin army will catch up!

"Damn golden dog!"

The members of the Eighth-Character Army slammed the table hard, but it was of no avail.

Mountain-like pressure was now pressing on their shoulders.

"Since, since we can't withdraw, we can only fight."

Someone said bitterly.

In the past, they would not have been so determined.Still want to run away.

Human life is only one.

However, in the lobby, Liu Chan's handwritten words of serving the country with a sincere heart and vowing to kill the gold thief were still hanging high.

Every time they look at it, everyone's thoughts of escaping disappear.

"Fight, fight, fight!

As long as they can persist long enough, the officials can break through the siege.

Even if all the Eight-Character Army died in the battle, so what!"

"If you die fighting for the official family, I believe that the whole family will be taken care of!

Just die!"

Liu Chan's kindness to military generals far exceeded that of any previous Song emperor. He provided sufficient food and salary, ensured logistics as much as possible, provided the highest possible compensation, and implemented adequate compensation behaviors.

In the past two years, everyone in the border army was looking forward to it. In the eyes.

After the death battle was determined, a sharp question was placed in front of everyone.

There were too few people.

Facing the Jin Army, the overall quality of the 20,000 Eight-Character Army, including ordnance, was not as good as Han Shizhong's department.

How long can it hold?

Liu Qi seemed to have thought of something, and immediately came to the south gate.

He shouted to the people who were constantly fleeing out of the city.

He told all the Jin people's intentions.

For a moment, the people who were fleeing in a hurry (Zhao Lihao) were all stunned in place..What

, the official family is in danger?

Liu Qi said bitterly to the people

"I, Liu, feel sorry for my father and fellow villagers, but the current situation is difficult.

Please stay and defend the city as much as possible!

Try to give the officials time to break out!"

After the words were spoken, the people stood there with difficulty.

They knew how powerful the Jin people were.

Staying in the city would undoubtedly be a dead end.

This was almost a dead end!

"well."

The man pulling the cart put down the rope and said to his wife

"I'll stay, you take Nannan and go south"

"Let's go together."

The other party said with tears.

The man just shook his head

"With today's officials here, you still have a chance to come back.

If the official family is not here, then you will never come back!"

Almost all the men chose that dead end.

Let the women and children continue to flee south, while they went in the opposite direction.

Liu Chan's status in the hearts of the Song people is evident!

In troubled times, such a wise monarch is too rare.

The people Their eyes are sharp.

They may be careless, or they may be greedy for life and fear of death.

However, in the face of such a big deal, they all choose to fight for Liu Chan!

Because the official family is their only hope.

They don't want their children. , continue to be like himself, displaced because of the war!

Under the iron cavalry of the golden man, living pigs and dogs are no better!

Upon seeing this, Liu Qi did not expect so many people to stay, and he bowed deeply

"In this battle, Liu will never run away!

The city is there and the people are there, but the city is broken and the people are dead!"

He made up his mind to defend!

Only in this way can we resist the Jin people to the greatest extent!

Seeing this, the surrounding people and soldiers shouted

"Defend the city!"

"For the official brother!"

"Fight to the death!"

The morale of the entire Eight-Character Army and the young people in the city were mobilized!

"I swear to protect the official family to the death and fight to the death!"

The entire Shangqiu City is moving!

It's like a huge war machine.
