Changzhou, for modern people, perhaps this city is not very famous and does not know much about it. In fact, it is a historical city. It was built at least during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was once the capital of Chu State, and it was called Shouchun at that time.

Changzhou ties the key geographical points, connecting Jingkou up to Gusu down to Gusu, surrounding the Yangtze River in the north, surrounding the lake in the south, occupying a corner of Taihu Lake in the southeast, surrounding the river and carrying lakes, and forming a better shape in the southeast, so it is known as "the famous Jiangzuo District, Zhongwu Yaofu".

In the war of unity launched by Qin Shihuang, the 400,000 Chu troops led by Xiang Yan were defeated by the famous general of Qin in Tianzhongshan, and the veteran general Wang Jian. They fled to Shouchun, supported the new King of Chu, and used Changzhou as the capital, preparing to resist stubbornly. Unfortunately, the King of Chu shot a ravage arrow while patrolling the city and died, Xiang Yan also committed suicide, and the final resistance of Chu was about to collapse.

During the Jiankang period, Emperor Gaozong of Song moved south, and the Jin soldiers marched south in large numbers. Changzhou changed from "Zhongwu Yaofu" to the frontier of the anti-Jin resistance. Famous generals such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong all used troops here.

In view of the importance of Changzhou, the Southern Song Dynasty court spent a lot of money to strengthen and repair. It can be said that Changzhou is a strong city and is difficult to break. However, this is not a difficult task for Boyan. He once drove hundreds of thousands of people to fill the moat with his land, but he also filled it into the moat with people and land, and soon captured Changzhou. After this catastrophe, Changzhou was already empty and sparsely populated.

On the dark night, Fairy Chang'e might have scared the ugly Zhu Bajie and hid it. He didn't even spread the light to the world, and he couldn't see his five fingers. Under the cover of the night, many people came to Changzhou Wharf with the cover of the night. Changzhou Wharf is an extremely important base for the Mongols, and many supplies were transported ashore to the Lin'an front line. The Boyan sect had heavy troops to defend.

Teams of Mongolian soldiers patrolled the city, and occasionally there were a few tricky sounds, as if this was the only anger of a quiet night.

The black shadow hid in the dark and lay down. The assaulter had drawn out his sharp knife. The cover staff had already held the crossbow in his hand and stared at the patrolling Mongolian soldiers. As long as the assault order was ordered, they would not be able to escape.

Liu Hezi lay on the ground and stared at the Mongolian soldiers with his eyebrows frowned, as if he was in a difficult situation. In the night, Song Ming did not see Liu Hezi's embarrassing expression and said softly next to him: "Sir, please give me the order. Brothers are all ready to ensure that none of them can escape."

"You know how to kill, kill, and don't think about it." Liu Hezi said angrily.

Song Ming whispered a little embarrassedly: "Sir, you know my faults, and you like to kill, but don't like to use your brain. Sir, what's wrong?"

"Look at this side, there should be ambushings there. There are also ambushings here, and there are also ambushings here. There are also, and there are also." Liu Hezi pointed and explained, "It is obvious that the Tartars are prepared, and we will fall into their trap once we try."

Song Ming said in disbelief: "Sir, we did not make any mistakes. This has taken the best confidentiality measures. I just told my brothers that our goal is the dock and no one will inform you." He held back and said something, that is, Liu Hezi was a little nervous. No wonder, under such strict confidentiality measures, the Mongolians actually knew it, which is too hard to believe.

Liu Hezi said angrily: "You know what a fool. Of course, brothers will not inform you, but someone will guess and calculate. He has come to Changzhou."

"Who?" Song Ming asked almost without thinking.

Liu Hezi said it almost word by word: "Guo Kan, this traitor already knows that we are coming to attack Changzhou, and ambush here, just waiting for us to be fooled."

In the Song Dynasty, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" had not been written yet, and Zhuge Liang, who could pinch and calculate, had not yet taken root in people's minds. Otherwise, Song Ming would definitely say: Then he didn't become Zhuge Liang. Song Ming said incrediblely: "Sir, do you mean that Guo Kan can pinch and calculate, and has magical powers like gods, and know that we will come here?"

"A god, that's a calculating, and I can do it." Liu Hezi said very dissatisfiedly: "If it's a waste of time here, it won't be as nonsense as you do. We exploded Jiangyin, and it was obvious that we wanted to stop Guo Kan from getting ashore. If we don't come here, it would be unreasonable. What's the point of guessing?"

For Liu Hezi, a general who stands alone, it is naturally not difficult to calculate based on the situation. However, it is difficult for Song Ming, who only knows how to charge, and said, "Sir, what should we do?"

"What else can I do? Withdraw." Liu Hezi's eyes rolled for a moment, and thought of another thing as he turned his mind, saying: "The reinforcements of the Tatars have already arrived. Our most important task at present is not to stop them from going ashore, but to send letters to the emperor while delaying the Tatars' advancement."

"This Liu Hezi is not fooled." Guo Kanping said quietly: "Smart and alert are a character. No wonder Boyan is helpless."

His words were very plain, no different from talking casually, but Shu Liming, who knew him, was secretly shocked. Shu Liming was not Guo Kan, but Liu Hezi. Shu Liming knew that Guo Kan had supreme wisdom and not many people could praise him. In Shu Liming's memory, there were only a few people praised by Guo Kan, such as Kublai Kan, who was good at fighting and resourceful, even though Guo Kan was also praised, his words did not praise Kublai Kan and Xulagu so enthusiastically, let alone A Shu. Unexpectedly, Liu Hezi had such a high evaluation in his mouth. You can imagine how powerful Liu Hezi was.

Shu Liming knew that he would not let go of opponents like Liu Hezi who had targeted Guo Kan. Sure enough, Shu Liming's thoughts had just changed, and Guo Kan said, "Liu Hezi made trouble in Jiangnan, and he happened to take this opportunity to meet him."

Shu Liming analyzed: "The general thought that Liu Hezi must have not gone far. The general was willing to order all his troops to pursue him, so he could not escape."

Guo Kan waved his hand and interrupted him, "There is no need. Liu Hezi is fighting guerrilla warfare, and the best thing is to go around in circles. You can't catch up if you want to chase him."

Shu Liming saw Guo Kan appearing confident in his heart and said, "Marcel, tell me, what do we do? As long as the Marshal gives the order, the last general will not frown even if the fire comes and water goes." He followed Guo Kan in the west and knew that Guo Kan could do it. He had already thought about it, and he couldn't help but feel enthusiastic.

"The reason why the cows are dizzy is not because of something else, because someone is holding his nose. After a few turns, they will be dizzy." Guo Kan glanced at Shu Liming and explained: "So, we cannot be fooled by him, let alone chase him, otherwise we are bulls, and he is the one who leads the cow's nose. In this way, we must be passive. This is the mistake that Boyan made. I am not Boyan, and I will not repeat his mistake. I will be told that heavy cavalry will be in the middle, light cavalry will cover both wings, infantry will follow up, and advance towards Wuxi."

Guo Kan can be said to be ingenious in this way. The impact of heavy cavalry is extremely terrifying, but it is not flexible enough and requires cover. The infantry follow up to provide necessary support. It is better to hand over the two wings to very mobile and flexible light cavalry. This is a complete infantry and cavalry collaborative tactic system.

Shu Liming reminded: "Marson, in this way, wouldn't Liu Hezi be let go?"

Guo Kan looked at him and said, "I didn't tell you just now. Now we are leading his nose. He must come and is still in front of us." After a look at Shu Liming, who was a little confused, said, "I'm sure that Liu Hezi is sending a letter to Zhao Qi, and taking action to delay our actions. In this situation, the slower we advance, the greater the benefits for them, and Zhao Qi can mobilize more troops to come. Therefore, we must find Zhao Qi's main force with lightning speed and defeat him in one fell swoop. As for Liu Hezi, it's just a small gift he brought with him, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation."

As Guo Kan said, he had 550,000 troops, including heavy cavalry with strong attack power, while Li Jun only had 500,000 troops, of which 300,000 were newly trained recruits, and combat effectiveness was a problem. As long as Guo Kan found Li Jun's main force, Guo Kan was confident that he could defeat Li Jun's main force, but he took advantage of the victory and rushed to Lin'an, quickly took over Lin'an, and ended the war. This is the best strategy.

Shu Liming nodded and said, "Marcedes-General, I understand. In order to stop our advance, Liu Hezi had to set up a formation directly in front of us, so we can annihilate him with a blow of Mount Tai's egg-pressing force."

Guo Kan nodded in agreement and said, "It's basically right, but it's not that easy. He can play tricks."

Shu Liming admired Guo Kan very much and said with confidence: "His tricks are just showing off in front of the gods."

As the dawn begins, the fog before dawn has not dissipated, and the shadow of the rising sun has not appeared. It is hazy and the scenery in the distance is hard to see clearly.

"Report, a large number of enemies were found in front of you." A spy rushed over and reported to a ten thousand men.

万夫长一下来了精神,道:“有多少?”

"Sir, there are thousands." The spy gasped and replied, "It is neatly arranged, even more neat than a bamboo pole."

The ten thousand men drew out the scimitar and said, "Brothers, prepare for battle." Ten thousand heavy cavalry immediately pointed their cavalry forward and brushed a large area together, like a forest of spears, which was airtight.

The commander of ten thousand men was about to order a charge, and Guo Kan came over surrounded by the generals. Guo Kan looked at the commander of ten thousand men coldly, his eyes were no different from usual, but the commander of ten thousand men felt that the two gazes were sharp swords. A pressure like a mountain came from Guo Kan, which made him breathless. He was so scared that he quickly rolled to the ground and said, "Marson, I..."

Guo Kan's voice did not change at all, and said, "Get up, you can't blame you. It's because the spy didn't understand and treated the scarecrow as a real person."

Guo Kan's words were so unbelievable. The Chief Wan Hu looked at Guo Kan with an incredible look, but he even forgot to thank him. This cannot be blamed for the Chief Wan Hu. It was really unbelievable that Guo Kan said that Guo Kan had never seen it, so how could he know that there was a scarecrow in front of him, not a real person?

Shu Liming followed Guo Kan to expedition to the Middle East. He knew that Guo Kan was capable of doing so, and never miscalculated. He gave a kick to the ten thousand men and said, "I still dare to doubt the marshal's words."

The captain ten thousand men endured the pain and stammered: "I'm not, no..." Guo Kan waved his hand to stop it, saying: "Take people on and carry on. Use the spy's rod just now to blame a hundred military sticks."

"How can you not understand the principle of chasing someone if you want to blame someone?" Captain Wan disagreed in his heart and had to accompany Zun Ling and said, "Zun Ling."

When the Chief Wanfu led his troops to arrive, he realized through the slight morning light that there were more than a thousand and two thousand scarecrows standing on the ground. The scarecrow's chest said: "The big traitor Guo Kan died here!" In an instant, the Chief Wanfu's suspicion just now disappeared, and he realized that Guo Kan's nickname was not for nothing, and he wanted to kill the spy who was wronged with one knife.

At this time, Guo Kan was accepting Shu Liming's praise. Shu Liming said very admiringly: "The Marshal's clever plan, Liu Hezi really sent someone to attack our wings and backs, and they all repelled us."

Guo Kan still looked indifferent and said, "This Liu Hezi is not Sun Bin, nor is I Pang Juan, so he will not be fooled by him. The next step is that he will appear in front of us. He will be ordered to be prepared to encircle and annihilate Liu Hezi. Once Liu Hezi appears, he must eat him with the fastest and most powerful movement."

"General, just our troops are fighting with Guo Kan's hundreds of thousands of troops head-on, but they are not trying to touch stones with eggs." Song Ming didn't understand why Liu Hezi had to concentrate his army and fight hard with Guo Kan at all costs, and said, "General, the emperor wants us to fight guerrillas, and we don't have to attack Guo Kan head-on."

Song Ming said it right. Liu Hezi hurriedly assembled less than 40,000 troops. Just fighting against Guo Kan's more than 500,000 troops is tantamount to hitting stones with eggs, which is not enough for Guo Kan to get into a gap in his teeth.

Liu Hezi said with a firm look on his face: "Guerrilla is fart, guerrilla. You don't think about it. It's time now. Our current mission is not to fight guerrillas, but to get enough time for the emperor at all costs. As long as we buy time, Guo Kan will definitely fail." After a pause, he said helplessly: "It's not that Guo Kan is so great that this traitor is. This is the situation and is forced by the situation. I have to do it: even though I know there is a tiger in the mountain, I can only go to Tiger Mountain."

Liu Hezi was completely correct. It was his heroic actions that pushed Guo Kan into the abyss of failure.

"I believe that as long as we buy time, the emperor will have a way to deal with Guo Kan. We are like paving stones, the paving stones leading to victory." Liu Hezi said confidently.

Song Ming was still waiting for further persuasion, and Liu Hezi said, "Don't say it anymore. If you are afraid, you don't have to participate. Even if I am the only one left, I will also buy the emperor the time to complete the deployment."

"General, wherever you say, I, Song Ming, are not afraid of death. In my heart, Song Ming, I, I, don't have this word." Song Ming confessed immediately.

Liu Hezi patted his shoulder and said, "That's good." He pulled out his sword, held it high on his head, and said, "Brothers: Guo Kan is right in front of us. Our task is to postpone his advancement and win time for the emperor. There are less than 40,000 people of Guo Kan, 550,000 traitors, eleven times ours. We move forward and die back. We will die heroically! We will die like a man! Even if we die, we can lose the face of Chinese men! If someone is afraid, we can withdraw. I understand you, and the emperor will understand you. I will never say you are a coward! Are you afraid? Are you anyone withdrawing?"

Tens of thousands of soldiers raised their arms and shouted, "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!" Nearly 40,000 people roared together, shaking the sky, and the sound waves rushed to the sky, and the earth was trembling.

"We are paving stones, and use our bodies to pave the broad road leading to the Victory Hall!" Liu Hezi raised his arms again and shouted, "Long live the emperor!"

The soldiers shouted, "Long live the emperor!"

"Expel the Tartars! Return my rivers and mountains!" Liu Hezi shouted again.

The soldiers shouted: "Expel the Tartars! Return my rivers and mountains!"

The roar of "Expel the Tartars! Return my rivers and mountains!" sounded over and over again on this empty field. The soldiers' eyes were filled with eager light. Liu Hezi saw revenge in their eyes, the heroic spirit of not fearing life and death, and the incomparable perseverance. These are the indispensable souls of a nation!

In the bloody setting sun, Liu Hezi and his few remnants were surrounded by Guo Kan's army, and there was no way out. The corpses on the ground were piled up like mountains and blood flowed into rivers. Liu Hezi himself was already dozens of arrows. From a distance, he would definitely not treat him as a person, and would think he was a hedgehog.

He blocked Guo Kan's army for five days and five nights with less than 40,000 troops. Although Guo Kan is known as a god, he cannot go beyond the line. Helplessly, Guo Kan had to surround him and prepare to consume him little by little. In this battle with huge power disparity, Liu Hezi was at a disadvantage, but the results he achieved were extremely brilliant, killing and wounding nearly 50,000 Mongolian soldiers, including nearly 5,000 heavy cavalry.

During the fierce bloody battle, the scene of the Song army being desperate everywhere. Without weapons, they punched and kicked, and even bite with their teeth. They would never give up fighting until they died. Some soldiers took their last breath and had to knock the Mongolian soldiers as long as they could move their limbs and could not beat them to death.

In Guo Kan's words, this was the most desperate battle he had encountered. This person who had the title of God and was indifferent to tears many times and repeatedly summoned Liu Hezi, but he refused Liu Hezi righteously.

If you want to find a similar example in history, it may be Li Ling of the Han Dynasty. At that time, Aling led 5,000 infantry soldiers to fight thousands of miles, and fought with more than 100,000 troops of the Xiongnu Khan. The Xiongnu Khan had no choice but to give up.

Today, Liu Hezi's situation is even more dangerous than Li Ling's situation that day. His nearly 40,000 army now has less than 5,000 people, and his staff is reduced by 90%. As long as Guo Kan drives the army to fight for a while, his remaining soldiers will all die in the country.

Guo Kan came over surrounded by the generals and clasped his fists and said, "General Liu invited him. General Liu is a wise person. He will not understand what you are doing in front of you. He should listen to Guo's advice and stop resisting it."

"Bah! Dog traitor! You still have the face to see Liu. Even if Liu dies, he will not be a traitor. You are delusional." Liu Hezi scolded righteously and said, "Come on, dog traitor, I will be a hero again twenty years later." He raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, take out your courage. Kill another Tartar before he dies, which is loyal to the Song Dynasty! Eliminate the Tartars! Return my country and mountains!"

Liu Hezi's words were like magnets. The soldiers who could not afford to be injured all stood up after hearing his words. They were so excited that they seemed to have sucked opium. They were fearless and raised their arms and shouted: "Expel the Tartars! Return my rivers and mountains!"

The cry of "expelling the Tartars! Return my rivers and mountains!" echoed on the battlefield, so clear and exciting. This scene is just as Li Ling replied to Su Wu's book, "All the disease arises, and the enemy is pointed at the enemy with a blade." The will to fight is unshakable, and everyone has the courage to be the best of the three armies.

This is the most fierce warrior Guo Kan has ever seen in his life. Looking at these warriors who don’t know life and death, he shook helplessly, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, the roar of "Expel the Tartars! Return my rivers and mountains!" sounded from a distance, and a black cavalry rushed towards him like a whirlwind. The sword in his hand emitted a cold light in the sunlight, making people feel cold. When they waved, the sword drew a beautiful curve. The sword was as bright as a wall, invincible, and there was a piece of minced meat passing by.

This black cavalry was like a meat grinder, ruthlessly devouring the lives of Mongolian soldiers. No one could stop them. Even heavy cavalry covered with thick armor was not an opponent. In a short while, the Xuan-armored cavalry rushed over and met Liu Hezi.

Zhao Qian looked at Liu Hezi, covered in wounds, with tears in his eyes and said, "General Liu!" He was already crying.

Liu Hezi opened his mouth, and the blood in his mouth flowed down the corner of his mouth, saying, "General Zhao, why are you here?"
