As soon as he was forced to stop by this earth-shattering shout, Marshal Kong, who had excellent military qualities, secretly screamed.

But there was no time to think about it anymore. Immediately afterwards, the drums sounded intensively throughout the camp, and then almost at the same time, the entire square fence of the Song Army camp was pushed from the inside together, and then countless people in front of the imperial camp were prepared and waiting to work.

Soldiers and horses poured out from the camp, shouting to the beat of drums and charging.

Kong Yanzhou was indeed Xiao Yuefei. Seeing this situation, he knew that the raid was already a joke, so he immediately changed his mind. With just a flash in his mind, he gave up the attack before the stunned front army could react, and turned to

He leaned over and hit the horse and fled to the right.

Now that things have come to a point where we can't fight and can't stay, we naturally have to leave.

Besides, the sky is getting dark and the rain is coming. If he can take advantage of the situation and escape into the hilly areas around Mount Tai in the east, he may not be able to escape with his life... And as long as the green mountains are still there, he won't have to worry about running out of firewood. Kong Yanzhou will still have a long life.

Still sitting.

Of course, in the final analysis, Marshal Kong himself may not have noticed that at the critical moment of life and death, he still couldn't let go of Yanzhou's wealthy and comfortable home, and he couldn't let go of his meal that required twenty or thirty young maids to carry it, so he instinctively chose

In the direction of the lair.

However, Yanzhou, the dish, and the quick reaction are all useless, because as soon as he turned around, he could not walk more than a mile, and he did not even go beyond the range of Yue Fei's camp, and the sight was still clear on the battlefield.

, then a cavalry force of four to five hundred people came in front of him and attacked Kong Yanzhou.

Only then did Kong Yanzhou realize that there was no point in reacting one step earlier or two steps earlier, because if he were Yue Fei, he would have placed powerful cavalry on both wings in an attempt to outflank and block the enemy.

The only flag in front of him is the character Zhang. It seems that he must be an old acquaintance of Zhang Xian. I don’t know it after Zhang Xian changed his name, but before he changed his name, he was also a recognized bastard in Xiangzhou. I wonder if he can be tricked into playing a trick.

What do storytellers call 'Guan Yun Changyi's interpretation of Cao Mengde'?

"Kong Liuzi! How can you fall into the hands of grandpa?" The two groups of cavalry should not be too obvious on the plain battlefield. Zhang Xian had the target in mind. When he saw clearly that it was Kong Yanzhou, he was almost overjoyed and jumped directly on the horse.

Wu Qiang shouted, "If I kill you today, I will use your head to pay tribute to Mr. Zhang and Xu Qing!"

After saying this, the general roared, and hundreds of horsemen behind him shouted and accelerated.

Marshal Kong was completely helpless, but he could only draw his spear and shout with all his strength: "Kill Zhang Si with me, return to Yanzhou, and everyone will be rewarded with a wife!"

But once the words were spoken, no one answered... You must know that even on the battlefield with tens of thousands of people, this is not right, because as a general and a marshal of Qi supported by the Jin people, there are always hundreds of core people riding behind him

Soldier's.

Zhang Xian shouted vigorously for no reason, and his cavalry made a noise. When he shouted, no one answered, right?

Therefore, knowing that it was a matter of life and death, Kong Yanzhou couldn't help but look back... But at a glance, Marshal Kong, who had been a murderer in his youth, was today, and could even be said to be in this battle.

For the first time in my life, I was completely panicked.

It turned out that the more than a hundred armored cavalry behind him had been fleeing with him before, but when they ran into Zhang Xian's cavalry team who had ambushed on the flanks, they immediately lost the desire to fight and scattered, each looking for the enemy.

As for the way out, no one has long cared about Marshal Kong.

In panic, Kong Yanzhou turned around and originally wanted to dismount and surrender, but unexpectedly Zhang Xian and his cavalry team had already rushed forward.

When the first few riders charged forward and thrust their spears diagonally, Marshal Kong's horses neighed and fell over.

And when the Marshal of Qi landed on the wet and hard ground that was still warm, he turned over, and then several horsemen swarmed towards him, slashing at him with knives and stabbing him with spears.

In just a moment, this person traveled through Song, Jin and Qi for decades in another time and space. He suppressed Prime Minister Zhong, massacred Hunan, married his own daughter, and later actually participated in controlling the main force of the Jin army. It was not until the Wan Yanliang period that he was taken over by the Jin.

A legendary figure who was killed by others... In this life, he only had time to enjoy dozens of dishes before he died in the battle of Dongping Mansion.

Since his death, no one shouted for revenge for Marshal Kong. Even for the Qi army, the war situation did not get worse because of his death, because it could not be worse.

It must be understood that the Qi army was originally in a state of encirclement. The so-called desperate people were just fighting to the death.

Therefore, when Zhang Rong did not indulge his fighter planes and take the initiative to attack, and Yue Fei prepared the entire army early, so much so that after shouting the phrase "kill holes" that shocked the world, the so-called death struggle was just a joke.

The rain became heavier and the battlefield became muddy, but fortunately it was a plain area and it was still long before sunset. However, the two armies of Yue and Zhang, with nearly 50,000 troops, had won one after another and immediately pushed towards each other, plowing the Qi army completely like a plow.

turn.

It is said that at this time, the sun is heading to the west, gradually setting, and its color is golden, while the ground is dry in summer, and it suddenly rains, and its color is dark and dark, and the rain and dust between the sky and the earth are misty. Although you can't see the soldiers rushing, you can still smell it.

The war horses neighed... Yue Fei, who was almost strolling, led the more than a thousand Weiwei troops who had been established just a month ago, so-called imitating Han Shizhong, and calmly marched westward to a slightly undulating high hill in the battlefield plain.

Standing on the post in the rain, looking at the setting sun in the west and the battlefield, I saw that everything I could see was misty, but also colorful. After all, it was rare to feel the wonder of heaven and earth, and my body and mind were shocked for a moment.

After all, at this time, although it cannot be called a dragon fighting in the wild, its blood is black and yellow, it can still be called a car on a high hill, and my horse is black and yellow.

And just when a battle that was destined to be recorded in history broke out here in Dongping Mansion, the weather in Bianliang was as dull as usual, and people's hearts were calm.

However, Zhao Guan's family rarely felt that life was boring today, because he was eating melons with his husband-in-law under the sunset. Moreover, what he ate this time was not the crispy melons commonly seen on the streets, but watermelon, which made Zhao Guan's family extremely happy.

We haven’t seen each other for how many years, do you think he can be unhappy?

It should be noted that watermelons have been introduced to China for hundreds or thousands of years, but perhaps because the varieties have not been improved, they have always been a luxury product grown in sunny places in the Western Regions.

However, it was in this era, when the Song and Jin Dynasties coexisted, that it was suitable for widespread cultivation in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, and the large green-skinned and red-flesh watermelon, which was roughly the same as that of later generations, finally appeared.

Moreover, after the situation stabilized in the Song and Jin Dynasties, this kind of watermelon began to become widely popular and became a necessity for Chinese people to relieve the heat in summer.

The specific origin of this kind of improved variety that is enough to achieve sainthood is not clear at all, but it was probably cultivated in the Yanyun area by the Liao people who controlled the Western Regions during the Liao Kingdom.

Of course, back to the present, this kind of watermelon has not yet spread to the point where everyone can eat it. It is still a luxury product that can only be enjoyed in the north and the west. However, the melon that Zhao Guan’s family eats today is from Gao Jingshan, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom.

Brought from Hebei.

There were three in total. Perhaps to preserve freshness, one was uncooked. There were two left, one big and one small. The small one was sent to Concubine Pan Xian and the two little princesses. The older one was not given to Mrs. Wu by the Zhao Guan family, but several people were summoned.

Xianggong and the censor Zhongcheng came to the palace specifically to eat melons.

Three ministers, one censor Zhongcheng, the so-called minister of the outer court, and then an accompanying scholar Xiaolin, one Liu Yan, and one senior official Lan Gui, the so-called confidant of the inner court, plus an official, eight grown men eat one melon, but

Just a taste.

"Has Gao Jingshan dismissed him?"

In the pavilion on the side of the pond that had been tidied up, Zhao Jiu took the lead in finishing the melon. He first asked someone to carefully collect the seeds and packed them in a small cloth himself. Then he got up and took the lead to wash his hands in a copper basin beside him.

It was comfortable. But after we sat down, several of our husbands were there, so we couldn't help but casually talk about some government affairs.

"Don't worry, the officials have already sent him away." Privy Councilor Wang Boyan quickly replied. "According to the officials' words, I gave him two dead rabbits that the officials killed themselves as a gift in return."

Zhao Jiu nodded slightly.

On the other hand, Censor Zhongcheng Li Guang couldn't help but frowned: "I don't know what this Jin man is thinking, but he actually came from Daming Mansion to mediate the war between the Huang Song Dynasty and the Puppet Qi Dynasty... The Huang Song Dynasty and the Puppet Qi Dynasty are not at odds with each other. They set up the Puppet Qi Dynasty on their own.

Don’t you know?”

"They didn't really come to mediate." Zhao Jiu immediately laughed. "They didn't really come here with Yanjing's order. They probably saw Li Kui across the river in Daming Mansion, and Li Bao's large army crossed over. They didn't know well.

So I took it upon myself to come here specifically to tell me that it would be fine if we won Dongping this time, but if we march to Jinan, although they are unwilling, they will have no choice but to mobilize the main force and fight in the summer."

Several people present nodded their heads, but Li Guang was slightly relieved.

By the way, Yue Fei is not a bastard. He sent out troops that day, calculated the time well, but also asked Li Kui, Li Bao and others who took a detour from the west of Liangshanbo to send formal announcements to Tokyo, Nanjing and other places to report his plan.

.

In other words, the imperial court at least knew that Yue Fei was about to encircle Dongping Mansion.

It's just that due to the speed of information dissemination, at this time, we still don't know that the encirclement has been completed, and the various incidents that will quickly follow, let alone today's decisive battle.

In any case, since the military plan has been delivered and is already in the second half of the execution period, it would be unavoidable to accuse Yue Fei of impeaching Yue Fei by pointing out that the Imperial Army's former troops were stationary in Wenshui.

It's a little embarrassing.

Therefore, the debate about the merits and demerits of military officers that Zhao Guan's family was looking forward to had just begun and disappeared within half a day.

"The officials," Lu Haowen saw that Li Guang was slightly embarrassed, but he took the initiative to calm down the atmosphere in the pavilion. "What do the officials mean? Do they want to send troops to Jinan?"

"I don't think it's necessary!" Zhao Jiu said indifferently. "As I said before, the first thing to do is to accumulate strength. After all, no one knows what the new round of Jin people's invasion will look like after this autumn. Don't be consumed too much by the puppet Qi.

Strength... So when facing the Puppet Qi, the Dongping Mansion still relies on speed, accuracy and ruthlessness, just like archery, if an arrow is shot, it will hit, if it misses, it will miss. Don't be in love with fighting, let alone get stuck in the quagmire."

"I think so too." Lu Haowen nodded quickly. "Our food, money, and silk are still very tight. Southeast and Jingxiang are complaining one after another. The officials opened the ban and sent people to reward the Prime Minister.

Be at ease, don't fall into it, and waste people's hearts in vain..."

"It's not just that." Zhao Jiu took over the words, but also laughed. "Gao Jingshan hurriedly brought three watermelons over this time. Although he expected that the war in Dongping Mansion would be frustrated and did not want to expand the dispute in the summer, he did not necessarily

Isn’t it because I have the desire to provoke the generals? I secretly hope that we can send troops to Jinan to fight and consume Liu Yu who must defend desperately."

"I do have such concerns." Xu Jingheng and Mr. Xu Xianggong also said, "The officials might as well send gold medals to the front line to give Yue Peng some reminders."

Zhao Jiu was startled for a moment, feeling that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, he still nodded: "Okay."

"It's not just that."

Wang Boyan also continued to remind. "There has been discussion in the Privy Council, and they all said that after this war, compared with Jinan, a more important thing is to recover Yanzhou, but the most critical thing is to take advantage of the situation to deal with Zhang Rong of Dongping Prefecture... Why don't the officials do it first?"

Give Yue Fei a gold medal to stop fighting, and give him another gold medal to tell him to bring Zhang Rong to Tokyo to meet the officials after the war? In my opinion, if Zhang Rong is willing to come to meet the officials, he is a viable person!

"

Several ministers nodded one after another, and Zhao Guanjia also nodded in agreement after thinking for a moment.

In other words, after seeing the three ministers speaking out, and then easily deciding on these frontline matters with the officials, Li Guang, who came to such an occasion for the first time, got rid of the embarrassment, but he also realized that this was the so-called "monarch and minister".

Discussing political affairs is also something that a civil servant pursues and looks forward to throughout his life.

Therefore, the Yushi Zhongcheng thought about it for a while and felt that no matter what, as the half-premier of the Yushitai, at this time, he could not be as silent as Lin Jingmo, Liu Yan and other ministers, and he had to say something no matter what.

suggested.
