Even though Zhang Jun was in the army, he had no power to fight back against Yue Fei.

The people brought by Zhang Jun were also frightened when they saw this, and they did not dare to show their anger.

Yue Fei took Zhang Jun out.

Zhang Jun was still there shouting: "Zongze, if you dare to do this to me, the Generalissimo will not let you go!"

Zhang Jun was driven out of Huazhou.

Zongze said to Yue Fei who came back: "Yue Fei, do you know why I drove him away?"

"Commander Zong, I don't know this, so I would like to ask Commander Zong to make it clear."

"Zhang Jun was sent by the Generalissimo to tell us to stand still because they heard rumors that the officials had negotiated peace with the Jin people. Yue Fei, if it were you, what would you do?"

Yue Fei thought for a while and said: "Commander Zong, I will never believe that the officials negotiated peace with the Jin people."

"Why?"

"The Jin people will not negotiate for peace! The Jin people are ambitious and want to destroy our Song Dynasty! Even if the Jin people want to negotiate for peace, they are deceiving us!"

Young Yue Fei has a firm gaze.

At this time, Yue Fei had not yet grown into the famous general known to everyone in the world.

He had just become Zongze's general.

At this time in history, Zongze had a great influence on Yue Fei, and the two were both teachers and friends.

Zongze smiled and said, "What does this have to do with me driving Zhang Jun away?"

"The marshal wants to express his position to the three armies. Anyone who dares to speak up and refuse to fight will be severely punished!"

"Okay! Good on you, Yue Fei! Well said! But it doesn't necessarily mean fighting the Jin people head-on. To contain the Jin people is also fighting! I'm driving him out. To strengthen our military morale, I must not allow anyone to do it at this time.

Shake the determination of the officers and soldiers of the three armies!"

Zongze loved the young man in front of him very much. He really seemed to see himself when he was young.

He is full of passion and his eyes are burning with the brilliance of ideals.

"Yue Fei, I want to give you a heads up."

"Please teach me, Marshal."

"You can't just fight in the field. If you fight well in the field, you must also learn to defend the city, divide the troops into formations, mobilize the troops and generals, take life and death, conquer people with virtue, and rule the army with power. Do you understand?"

"Thank you Marshal for your teachings, I will always remember them in my heart!"

Zongze patted Yue Fei on the shoulder.

On February 4, spies from the front came to report that a Jin army had crossed the Yellow River and was advancing towards Huazhou.

It is said that there are quite a few cavalry.

Liu Hao said: "Commander Zong, why not take advantage of your morale victory and fight the gold thief again!"

"No! Those coming from the south of the Yellow River must be the elite troops of the Golden Thieves, possibly the kidnappers. Our army has been fighting for more than half a month. We are short of men and horses, and there are many wounded. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time!"

"What about that?"

"Send the commander's order to evacuate Huazhou as quickly as possible."

"This...now that we have won the battle, we still want to withdraw?"

"Withdraw! This is an order!"

"yes!"

Wanyan Wushu's people originally planned to go to Huazhou to persuade Zongze to surrender. Unexpectedly, when they arrived in Huazhou, the people and the army were gone.

Wanyan Wushu said: "It seems that this old general of the sect is unwilling to surrender and is playing hide and seek with us. I will play with you."

On February 5th, it snowed heavily.

Liu Hao, who was marching, asked: "Marshal, do we have to avoid the enemy's front?"

"No, wait for the rebels to arrive. Many people have already written to me. They will arrive soon."

When Liu Hao heard that there were reinforcements, he was immediately overjoyed.

Time flies by so fast, and it’s already late February.

Wanyan Zonghan asked: "How is Wushu?"

"Marshal, there is no news from Wu Shu."

Wanyan Zonghan became a little anxious, it was already late February.

"Has the food collection arrived?"

"The news just came today that the recruitment has been going on for more than a month."

"Only one month?"

Shi Liai said: "Both Zhengzhou and Luoyang have no food to collect."

"So, our food will only be available in mid-April at most?"

"That's what happened."

"What if we force the villagers around?"

"Marshal, there is nothing left to do. Many villagers have either fled south or become bandits. They have hid all the food they can. Until now, no one is plowing the fields."

"Go and arrange for someone to see how the situation is in Bianjing City."

"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."

After Shi Li fell in love, Wanyan Zonghan fell into deep thought.

If he retreats, it means he has lost the battle. After he returns, someone in the court will definitely make a fuss about him.

Wanyan Zonghan was in a very unhappy mood.

He believes that the current situation is already very bad, and his situation will not be worse than it is now. It just depends on who is worse off, himself or the Dog Emperor.

He believed that the one who couldn't stand it first must be Zhao Ning.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as Shi Liai went out, another piece of news came that made him jump.

what news?

Wanyan Wushu went to persuade Zongze to surrender, but no one saw him. As a result, half a month later, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians suddenly appeared in Hebei and gathered under Zongze's command.

They gathered in Huazhou and Kaidefu areas with great momentum.

From noon today until three days later, similar news continued to come.

The Song troops from Hebei gathered and responded!

If it had been two months ago, Wanyan Zonghan would not have had any worries.

But now there is no progress in conquering Bianjing, there is not much food and grass, and there are suddenly so many Song troops, he must take this matter seriously.

This Zongze made him worry.

Wanyan Zonghan is a strong man who is brave and good at fighting, but he is by no means the kind of arrogant and brainless person.

On the contrary, he is very good at marching, fighting, strategic deployment, and employing people. After all, he once followed Wanyan Agu in the northern and southern campaigns and learned a lot.

Why did so many Song troops suddenly gather in Hebei?

In fact, to be precise, it was not the Song Army, but the Rebel Army.

In other words, they are people who were temporarily formed by the people. They can be said to be militiamen. They don't even have armor. Most of them are just like the common people in Tokyo, just to defend their homeland.

Zongze won great victories all the way in Hebei, and his reputation was shocking everywhere. At this time, he recruited people from all parties, and naturally he responded to every call.

However, the tactics adopted by Zongze now are not to fight the Jin Army head-on, but to intimidate the Jin Army from the side, so that the Jin Army can use a defensive weapon.

Obviously Zongze is also aware of Jin Jun's current pain points.

It is said that soldiers are impermanent, power is impermanent, and water is impermanent. In war, one move does not mean that one move will conquer the whole world.

The second day of March.

Wanyan Zonghan asked: "Have you found that Zongze?"

Shi Liai smiled bitterly and said: "Suddenly he avoided fighting."

"Where is it in Bianjing City?"

"No response."

"I don't believe that the Dog Emperor can't finish his food!"

Wanyan Zongwang was watching all this coldly.

Shi Liai said: "Marshal, it's already March, we must make some objective decisions."

"You mean to retreat?"

"The official is saying that we must prepare in advance. After all, there are many Song troops gathered in Hebei now. If we retreat hastily, it will not be good for our army."

Wanyan Zonghan fell silent and fell into calm thinking.

The ice and snow melted in March, and by April (lunar calendar), the temperature rose, and it was early summer.

Jurchens like Wanyan Zonghan who grew up in the Northeast are very afraid of heat.

Shi Liai said: "Marshal, don't be too persistent. We have gained something from this trip south. We captured Taiyuan, and we captured the three important towns in Hebei and Hedong of the Song Dynasty. They lost their barrier. What are we thinking?"

It will come when the time comes."

Wanyan Zonghan sighed and said: "It's not that I'm unwilling to withdraw my troops, I just thought of..."

He stopped and said nothing.

Shi Liai knew what Wanyan Zonghan wanted to say.

He wanted to say that he remembered the article "On the Early Years of the War between Song and Jin Dynasties" written by Emperor Dog.
