At this moment, Bai Yan was less than ten miles away from Chenliu. By detecting flying insects, Bai Yan knew that the team had entered Chenliu City under the leadership of Li Gang.

In Chenliu City, Zhong Shidao, the general of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, is stationed here. Zhong Shidao is over sixty years old. He is a solid veteran with rich combat experience. But after all, the combat power of the Song Dynasty army is different from that of the Jin army.

There was a huge gap, and the Western Army generally lacked horses, so that although Zhong Shidao saw the Jin army besieging Bianjing and Chen Liu was less than a hundred miles away from Bianjing, he did not dare to act rashly.

Most of the 100,000 Western Army horses and horses are infantry. If they go out to fight in the city, they are afraid that the last elite of the Song Dynasty will be buried here. Therefore, even at this time, the official Zhao Heng kept ordering troops to rescue the siege, but Zhongshi Daoding

Resist the pressure and wait for opportunities. Moreover, not only the Western Army who cultivated their skills, but also the troops from other places who came to King Qin are mostly stationed in the capital area at the moment. If Bianjing City can withstand it, relying on the high walls of the city will consume the Jin Army's

Strength, then the troops coming from all over the country at this moment will be able to get the opportunity to beat the drowned dog.

This was also the retreat strategy that Li Gang strongly recommended to Emperor Zhao Ji. Relying on the accumulation of hundreds of years in the Song Dynasty, although the troops surrounded Bianjing and Kaifeng, regardless of the thickness of the city wall, the layout of the troops, and the accumulation of supplies in the city, the Jin army was good at field battles, but not good at attacking.

city, it is very likely that you will get a lot of bangs under the city of Bianjing.

But who knew that Zhao Ji actually made a big mistake and asked the Taoist priest to use magic to retreat the troops. Not only did he lose the outer city, he also asked the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji to be captured by the Jin army. The newly appointed official Zhao Heng also had no idea.

Tang Ge and Geng Nanzhong, the two capitulation factions, were bewitched and sent envoys to ask for peace. Moreover, they had long disliked Li Gang, the main war faction, and Li Gang became the peace ambassador. If Bai Yan hadn't rushed into Jin

At the military camp, it is estimated that Li Gang and the hostages have become souls under the sword.

Although Li Gang was a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty, he was already extremely disappointed with this team of father and son officials. However, as a civil servant, Li Gang did his best to bring everyone to Chenliu and met with Zongze who was in Chenliu at the moment.

Lord Zong, and General Zhongshi Daozhong.

Zongze was originally a promotion official in Kaifeng Prefecture, and was sent by Zhao Heng to organize King Qin's troops in various places. Zongze had already had a bad relationship with Zhong Shidao here in Chen Liu, but at this moment, the civilian officials were weak and could no longer order the Western Army. Ming

Seeing that it was an act of committing suicide, Zhong Shidao refused to go to Zongze and there was nothing he could do.

At dawn, news came from the city gate that officials from the Song Dynasty had escaped from the Jin army camp. When Zongze went out of the city, he actually saw Li Gang.

After all, Li Gang was the minister of the Ministry of War, and he was an old acquaintance with Zongze. Moreover, the two had the same political views, so they were congenial. After settling everyone, Li Gang went to the lobby of Chen Liu's county government to tell what he had seen and heard in the Jin Army camp.

, told Zongze and General Zhong in detail.

During this period, Li Gang did not shy away from telling the truth about Bai Yan's battle and how Bai Yan left the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji in the Jin Army camp. Li Gang also wanted to see the attitudes of the two.

General Zhong was sitting on the Grand Master's chair. When he heard Li Gang relaying Bai Yan's words, "The master of a country, can he be irresponsible if he makes a mistake?", his originally muddy and dim eyes showed a bright light, and he only said:

He said: "Young heroes should meet each other once they meet."

After hearing General Zhong's clear statement, Li Gang turned to Zongze and asked, "Brother Zong, what do you think?"

Zongze was already an old man in his forties or fifties, with deep grooves on his face. He was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking and struggling, but in the end his face finally relaxed and he said slowly: "Zhao Zicheng, but

Settled in."

it is more than words.

"Brother, please rest assured, Coach Lin Chong will stay with you." Li Gang said, cupping his fists.

Zongze was a little worried again: "It's just that there is another King Kang. I'm afraid there will be changes in the future."

"Now that the world is undergoing great changes, whoever can turn the tide will be the leader of the world." Old General Zhong's attitude was very clear.

"Report to the general, there is someone outside the city asking to see Mr. Li Gang. He calls himself Bai Yan and recognizes Mr. Li Gang." Suddenly, a guard shouted outside the door.

"Brother Bai Yan, he has indeed escaped. Please hurry up. No, I will go there myself." Li Gang was overjoyed.

"Let's go, let's go together, let's meet this young hero." Zong Ze and Zhong Shidao said together.

Bai Yan stood at the city gate, watching the city gate creaking open. Li Gang came over with a face full of joy and clasped his fists in salute: "Brother Bai Yan, it's really you who can escape the whole camp of a hundred thousand gold army.

What a good man."

Bai Yan returned the favor with a fist in the air, looked at a purple-robed civil servant next to Li Gang, and an old general in armor and said, "Master Li, we meet again, who are these two?"

"Zongze, Mr. Zong, is an official in Kaifeng Prefecture. There is also General Zhongshi Daozhong, the commander-in-chief of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty." Li Gang introduced with a smile.

Bai Yan was surprised. Zongze's name was louder than Li Gang in later generations. That was because he later stayed in Kaifeng, and Yue Fei was his general. He urged Zhao Gou to return to Kaifeng, but Zhao Gou ignored him and died.

At that time, he shouted "cross the river" three times and died, known as Grandpa Zong.

Zhong Shidao's reputation is not small. The Western Army of the Song Dynasty was the only army that had some hope. Zhong Shidao was considered the last generation general of the Zhong family.

"Master Zong, Old General Zhong, you two have such great names, so you are so polite." Bai Yan still had a good impression of the loyal and good general.

"Brother Bai Yan, you rescued me, the great leader of the Song Dynasty, from the army. I am not weak to the ancient Zhao Yun. I admire you so much. Please come into the city quickly." Zongze was also very affectionate to Bai Yan.

Under the leadership of Zong Ze, Bai Yan entered the Chenliu County Government Office and received the news that Bai Yan had escaped from trouble. Li Shishi, Yan Qing, Lin Chong and Zhao Zicheng also came to see him in detail.

In the evening, Bai Yan, Zongze, Li Gang and Zhong Shidao gathered together and began to discuss strategies to retreat from the enemy.

"Today, the Jin army has 300,000 soldiers and horses. There are Jin Wushu Wanyan Zongbi in the south and Wanyan Zonghan in the north. Most of them are cavalry. They have strong combat power. When they go out to fight in the city, our army is no match. Old General Zhong is waiting to defend the city.

The strategy is correct." Bai Yan said as he started to activate the holographic projection of the Tianji system, clearly displaying the geographical location around Bianjing City and the distribution of the Jin Army's military strength.

Zongze and Li Gang were stunned.

"Brother Bai Yan, the Emperor said that you were an immortal before. Could it be that you are really a deity from heaven and descended to earth?" Li Gang hesitated.

"Master Li, this is called science, which means knowledge. I am not a god. The rising and setting of the day, the change of the four seasons, the waxing and waning of the moon, etc. are all knowledge. If the knowledge is thoroughly studied, it is science. What I have in my hand is also

It's not some heavenly book, but equipment based on science. In theory, it's the same as the soldiers' armor, it's all man-made, but this one is a little more complicated." Bai Yan Liba explained.
