On the sixth day of the third lunar month, Yingtian Prefecture, Nanjing.

Zhe Kecun took the letter and walked back and forth in the house. Li Hu ordered him to abandon Yingtian Prefecture and quickly retreat to Yingchang Prefecture, and to guard the west of the capital to guard the west of the capital. This order was actually to give up the struggle for the Jianghuai River and retreat to Luoyang and Xiangyang. Zhe Kecun was unwilling to evacuate, and he was even more unwilling to give up the Jianghuai River. Over the past six months, he had spent a lot of effort in the Jianghuai area. He wanted to defend this place, protect the people here, and prevent them from the poison of the war.

"The Southeast Envoy is outside the city. Do you want them to come in?" Murong Xiahan saw Zhe Kecun hesitant and couldn't help but remind him in a low voice, "This is the third time the Southeast Envoy has asked for a meeting."

Zhe Kecun stopped, hugged his arms, looked at the blue sky outside the window, and remained silent.

Li Hu's ambition is too great. He will not be satisfied with being a powerful minister. He wants to devour the Song Dynasty. What choice should the Zhe family make? In fact, as early as when Zhe Keqiu formed an alliance with Li Hu and the two families joined forces, the Zhe family had already made a choice. The foundation of the Zhe family is in the northwest. If it leaves the soil in the northwest, the Zhe family will inevitably decline. Zhe Keqiu has repeatedly reminded him in recent letters,

To preserve strength, be prepared to evacuate. The change of dynasty is a historical necessity. The Zhao family has come to an end. At this moment when it is related to the fate of the family, the Zhe family must make the right choice. Never act irresistibly and harm the entire family.

However, judging from the current situation of the war, once the army evacuated Yingtian Prefecture, the gates of the Jianghuai River will be opened, and the Jin army will definitely go south, and the people of the Jianghuai River will definitely be poisoned by the war. He could not accept this cruel fact, so he hesitated, especially after the repeated begging of the Southeast envoys, he even had the terrible idea of ​​joining the Southeast army to defend the Jianghuai River to the death.

"Grandmaster, are you really going to fight with us and our own people?" Murong Xiahan couldn't help but shouted at Zhe Kecun, "The Jin thieves are besieging Bianjing. We will not fight the Jin thieves or rescue Bianjing, but will attack the Southeast army that went north to the Central Plains. We cannot do such things, we cannot fight this kind of war."

"Yes, brother, we can't fight this kind of war." Zhe Kezhi stood up excitedly, "We fought against the Southeast rebels before because the Southeast army wanted to seize Huainan prefectures and counties, but now they want to go north to rescue Bianjing. If we fight them again and stop them from going north, there is no reason. The people of Jianghuai will scold us, poke our backbone, and spit on us."

"Now the people of the Song Dynasty should work together to fight against the Jin thieves. We should join forces with the Southeast Army to rescue Bianjing." Zhe Yanruo shouted loudly, "Uncle, you should submit a report to the court and write to the Grand Marshal. Don't fight civil war anymore, don't do such things as enemies and relatives, and you will be hurt by the enemy. Brothers fight against each other, but they will make the Jin thieves uselessly and harm the people."

Zhe Kecun lowered his head and said nothing. The house was full of his own brothers and words. As for this, you can't hesitate anymore. If you are not careful, you may cause a disaster.

"This is a letter from the Grand Marshal. Please pass it on." Zhe Kecun handed the letter from Murong Xiahan, "The Grand Marshal told us to withdraw our troops immediately and give Yingtian Mansion to the southeast rebel."

Several people quickly read the letter and their mood became worse.

"Is this true or false? The treacherous gangsters in the southeast still want to negotiate peace with the Jin thieves, and they still have to ced half of the Middle Earth?" Zhe Yanruo was shocked and found it incredible, "Does the general have real evidence?"

"There is no need for the Grand Marshal. I'm cheating us."

Yang Ling, who spoke, spoke, "The General was very clear in the letter. If the rebels in the southeast want to ensure half of the country, the best way is to unite the Jin thieves to attack us. When the southeast is breathless and stronger, the world will be divided into three parts, and their goal will be achieved." Yang Ling sighed, "I hope that these rebels will never defeat the Jin thieves, let alone the revival of the Song Dynasty."

"I don't want Bianjing?" Zhe Kei was in great pain. All kinds of complex emotions were entangled, making him suffocated. His eyes suddenly turned red, "We just left the people, left the Jianghuai, and fled to Luoyang?"

The room suddenly filled with an atmosphere of grief and anger, and everyone felt very uncomfortable. Although they could not provide strong support to Bianjing for the time being, there was hope at least. If they retreated, they would be hopeless.

"There are two choices now." Zhe Kecun said, "One is to follow the command of the commander and immediately withdraw from Yingtian Mansion, and the other is to negotiate with the Southeast army immediately, and the two armies join forces to fight against the Jin thieves." Zhe Kecun looked at everyone and asked, "Which route do you think we will choose?"

"Of course I chose the second one." Murong Xiahan said without hesitation, "Governor-General, immediately report to the general and ask him to agree

We and the Southeast Army will join forces to fight against the Jin Dynasty and work together to rescue Bianjing."

"No." Zhe Ketong, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly stood up and said sternly, "According to the command of the Grand Marshal, he immediately retreated to Yingchang Mansion."

Everyone was shocked. Zhe Ketong was always taciturn and cautious, so why did he suddenly change his temper today?

Zhe Kecun turned his eyes to Yang Ling. Yang Ling was very steady, and his opinions were always valued by Zhe Kecun. "Retreat, withdraw immediately." Yang Ling said, "Whether starting from the overall situation or the future of the Zhe family, it is right to follow the command of the Grand Marshal."

"Do you just give up Bian Jing like this? That is the Kyoto of our Song Dynasty." Zhe Kezhi couldn't control his emotions and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Bianjing is not the capital of the Song Dynasty." Zhe Ketong walked up to everyone, raised the letter in his hand, and said word by word, "Look at the general's letter carefully. This battle of Bianjing is not to guard Bianjing, but to determine the three-part pattern of the world. Do you think the rebels in the southeast are here to rescue Bianjing? Don't deceive yourself, the rebels in the southeast will definitely join forces with the Jin people to attack us.

The purpose is also to establish a third of the world.”

This sentence suddenly awakened Zhe Kecun. He was thinking about Bianjing, Jianghuai, and the people who were poisoned by the war. He forgot that the situation in the world has completely changed today, and the split between China and Earth has become a fait accompli. In this chaotic world, the Zhe family is like duckweed in a torrent, and can no longer decide his destiny.

"Don't disobey the command of the commander, and don't ruin my Zhe family." Zhe Ketong's voice was cold and his eyes were stern, which made Zhe Kezhi and others dare not look at each other.

Zhe Kecun smiled bitterly and shook his head. Perhaps he was deeply trapped in the situation, but he couldn't see the situation clearly. In comparison, his taciturn brother had a clear eyes and saw this mystery very thoroughly. Forget it, the Zhe family is the most important thing, so don't consider anything else. No matter the territory of the Song Dynasty or the people of the Jianghuai River, they can no longer escape this disaster.

"I urgently report to Shuai Song and evacuate Yingtian Mansion immediately." Zhe Kecun stood in front of everyone, his eyes swept across everyone's faces, "What we have said here today is to completely forget what we have left after we go out and never mention it again."

On the seventh day of the lunar month, the Southeast Song army, under the command of Wu Min and Xin Xingzong, quickly approached Yingtian Prefecture.

At the same time, Zong Fu and Yang Xunqing led 30,000 Jin troops to go south along the Bian River and headed straight to Yingtian Prefecture.

Zhe Kecun blushed because he had the idea of ​​joining forces with the Southeast Army to fight against the Jin thieves. Facts have proved that his fantasies about the Southeast Song court were ridiculous. Whether it was the old emperor Zhao Ji or the young emperor Zhao Heng, they were actually firm and peaceful factions. They would rather trade land for peace than lead the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty to fight the enemy to the death. In fact, the reason is simple. Use culture to build military forces. If the generals win on the battlefield and take the opportunity to own the army, how can the interests of civil servants be guaranteed? How can the security of the Zhao family's country be guaranteed? The wrong national policy has led to an extremely distorted mentality of the monarchs of the Song Dynasty. They need military men but are afraid of military men and trampling on military men, and they end up killing themselves.

The Jin army and the southeast rebels attacked the north and south together, and jointly attacked Yingtian Prefecture, which made the situation in Yingtian Prefecture suddenly tense.

On the evening of the seventh day of the lunar month, the Jin army was forty miles away from Yingtian Prefecture, and the southeast rebels were eighty miles away from Yingtian Prefecture.

Zhe Kecun, Song Jiang, Guan Sheng and others gathered at the Xichengmen to argue about whether to block the Jin army.

"The general's meaning is very obvious. He asked us to give Yingtian Prefecture to the Southeast Rebels." Zhe Kecun held Li Hu's letter in his hand and read a few of the words to Song Jiang. "Whether the Southeast Rebels can occupy Yingtian Prefecture directly affect the situation in the Central Plains, so please make sure to block it outside the East City to give the Southeast Rebels time."

Song Jiang frowned, his face was terrible cold, and he had the urge to kill. I used his brother's life to intercept the Jin thief, but the result was to let another enemy occupy Yingtian Mansion. What kind of battle was this?

"I will not obey such unreasonable orders." Song Jiang pushed Zhe Kecun away, "I will not let my brother die inexplicably."

"Shishou Song, please put the overall situation first." Zhe Kecun was also angry, but there was no way. His army retreated first. The main force was already dozens of miles away and it was impossible to transfer it back, and Song Jiang would not obey his command.

These two people have a deep hatred

Song Jiang's second uprising was killed by Zhe Kecun. This time, Song Jiang retreated from Jingdong to Yingtian Prefecture, and Li Hu ordered the Liangshan army to obey Zhe Kecun's command, but in fact, Song Jiang ignored Zhe Kecun from beginning to end, let alone followed his command. Some time ago, the failure to go north to rescue Bianjing was because the two armies fought on their own. Zhe Kecun sued Song Jiang. Although Li Hu scolded Song Jiang, he could not transfer Song Jiang and Liangshan army back to Luoyang for a while, so the two people were still fighting on the same battlefield.

Song Jiang sneered, waved his hand disdainfully at Zhe Kecun and left.

"Grandmaster, I'll stay." Guan Sheng said, "I went outside the East City to block the Jin army, and sent someone to report to Wu Min and Xin Xingzong, saying that I had controlled Yingtian Mansion and asked them to come and support as soon as possible."

"You only have three or four thousand troops, can you stop the Jin army?" Zhe Kecun asked worriedly.

"Didn't you say that the Jin army and the Southeast rebels colluded with each other?" Guan Sheng smiled, "I also sent someone to send a letter to the Jin army, saying that Wu Min had taken the lead in taking Yingtian Mansion and asked them to stop the attack. This is the delaying strategy, maybe I can drag it down."

“

Will the Southeast rebels come quickly?" Zhe Kecun expressed doubts.

"When Xin Xingzong suppressed his rebellion in Shandong, I served under his tent." Guan Sheng said, "After receiving my letter, Xin Xingzong would be skeptical, but he would definitely speed up the marching."
