"Hahaha, General Shao's words are not correct. I believe that His Royal Highness is wise, as long as it is helpful to the people and the great cause of anti-golden gold, he will support it without any opinions. I will write to His Royal Highness to tell the truth. The person who believes in the king will definitely agree with me to stay." Zhao Zhen said with a smile. Speaking of her own kind, even Zhao Zhen couldn't help but blush.

Shao Yun shook his head and said: "I believe you and Xinwang Qiansui are humans, but it is said that the golden army has gathered as many as one hundred thousand troops. One hundred thousand troops! You and I can't hold this Jiezhou together, so I suggest you use it. Useful body, continue..."

Early in the morning of the second day, the people just went out and saw a notice posted at the entrance of the biggest street. People who are wondering, of course have to go over and take a look, and the alley is full of people in a short while.

Seeing a lot of people, the soldiers crouched on their hips and shouted: "Listen well, everyone! General Shao Yun has an order, cough cough... It is written on the notice behind me, literate gentlemen come out to read. Come on!" Hearing this, I saw an elderly man put the hookah in his hand behind him, stepped forward and shook his head and said: "Report to the people: the army of golden thieves is approaching, and Xiezhou bears the brunt. As a court. The officers and soldiers were supposed to protect the environment and the people, and shut out the Golden Soldiers. However, the gold thief was so powerful, and the major generals of Jiezhou Soldiers were too few to resist the large number of Golden Soldiers. Therefore, the people in the city were restricted from leaving Jiezhou within ten days and heading to the south. Investigate relatives and friends." As he read, the old man stopped shaking his head and spoke faster and faster. After speaking, his hands trembled involuntarily.

As soon as the old man's voice fell, the surroundings became chaotic, and everyone shouted: "How can this work? I finally got back to Xiezhou and we are going to evacuate. We all left and come back. No running, let's go? Let's go. Where, isn’t this driving us to death. Let’s go and find General Shao Yun!" As the group was about to go to the military house, a few soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to stop them and said, "Don’t worry, you guys. There’s a notice next to it, I’ll talk about it after reading it.

Everyone looked back, and there was indeed a notice next to it. But one of the guys cursed: "I'm still watching a fart, the family is gone, but if you have money and no money, everyone has to starve to death. Let's go, even if you fight for this life today, you have to ask Shao Yun for an explanation. Go.” He was about to go forward again. A soldier hurriedly grabbed him and said: “Who said there is no money? There is a way to make money in the second bulletin. It’s up to you, brother. went."

Hearing this, the big man couldn't help but stunned, and paused and asked in confusion: "Really?" The soldier chuckled and said, "There are still fakes, and there are so many more. As long as you go, you will have consistent money and ten. Grab the grain!" Hearing this, the big man turned his head and said to the old man who was still in a trance: "Master Six, then you should read it to everyone."

After listening to that young scholar, the Sixth Uncle, he took a deep breath, then read the second announcement, and he heard him read: "The people in the city are living in a difficult situation, lest they have enough money to make money there. Survival. Starting today, the whole city recruits soldiers. Anyone who is over sixteen or younger than 40 can join the army to serve the country. Anyone who joins the army can receive a one-year military salary and ten grains of food at a time to subsidize the family. Li Yanxian The generals are in the southern city of Shanzhou. If you have nowhere to go, you can go there. The army in the city can keep the people in the city safe."

The Sixth Uncle had finished reading, but everyone couldn't help being silent. The old saying goes that good iron is not nailed, and good man is not a soldier. Now it coincides with troubled times, and when you join the army, you must fight the fierce golden army. In the cruel battle, it is good to be able to save one of the ten, how can everyone not think about it.

At this moment, the big guy just stood up and said, "I'll go!" A guy around him who seemed to have a good relationship with him said hurriedly, "Brother, those who have a good end to serve as a soldier, don't go!" When the soldier was offended, he saw the lead soldier's eyes widened and shouted: "If you have the courage to say it again, it will turn you back!"

The man shrank his head and did not dare to speak anymore. The leading soldier changed his smile and smiled at the man who was going to serve as a soldier: "This brother is good. Not everyone has a chance to serve the court. Ah." The big man snorted coldly and said, "I am not for the court, I just want to earn some life-saving money for the children and his mother."

The leading soldier was said by him and smiled reluctantly and said: "Come, come and report your name quickly. How about you go early and get the consistent money and ten grains of grain. Tell you, it's from our brothers." It was moved out of the half-year military salary, but not much, maybe it's gone if it's late." Then he picked up the pen and registered the other party's name on the paper.

After the big man signed, he immediately went to collect the money and food. Seeing that the other party really took the money and food, other people couldn't help but become excited, so why not fight for their own food and drink.

So I saw two more people stand up and said, "I'm the one!" The leader of the soldiers wrote down their names, and the two took the note and got up and went to the barracks. In this way, the young men got together more and more, and more and more people signed up.

Seeing the endless stream of young and middle-aged people at the door who came to sign up to lead the army, Shao Yun was even more happy. He asked the guards to bring horses and went to various barracks to check.

Along the way, watching the young men walking towards the barracks in three or five groups, Shao Yun was excited in addition to excitement. When he arrived at the garrison camp by the city wall, it was also very lively, and some soldiers yelled. He scolded the colleagues who had just put on their military uniforms, and asked them to line up to wait for the generals of the battalions to pick people. Seeing Shao Yun and his party walking in, the soldiers in the camp saluted.

Shao Yun looked at the rows of recruits and asked, "How many people have come here?" The leader respectfully replied, "If you go back to your lord, I will count them a quarter of an hour ago. There are a total of four. There are more than 1,000 people, but some people have come this time, and the exact number has not yet been counted."

Shao Yun smiled and nodded, and then asked: "Is it all divided?" The general was a little embarrassed: "This is not yet, brothers all want to pick some strong people back, but he didn't decide for a while. Who will choose first?" Shao Yun frowned when he heard it, but it's no wonder that his subordinates don't want some good soldiers. After thinking for a while, he said, "Since Brother Gao is here, let Brother Gao choose first."

Seeing that his generals were a little embarrassed, but also Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen also led people to Shao Yun at this time. Shao Yun stared and cursed: "A bunch of soft guys, don't you know the reason why the visitors are guests? Besides, Lao Tzu will make up for you. Who of you now dare to go out of the city to find Jin Bing for a fight? Brother Gao , Are you here? You first choose the soldiers." As he said, he pulled Zhao Zhen up to the general platform in the center of the camp, and a few Song army generals followed with flushed faces.

The letter king Zhao Zhen, who has the pseudonym Gao Pang, listened with a smile and said: "The general does not know that we cannot directly recruit the people as soldiers. Only soldiers who have been specially trained can join the regular army. Our supplementary soldiers have already rushed to Zhongtiao Mountain, General You don’t have to add it to me."

"What? I can't blame your army for being very powerful. It turns out that there is a special way to train the army!" Shao Yun was a little surprised, and said openly. "Where! Where!" Zhao Zhen said modestly.

The next day, outside the east gate. Shao Yun, who arranged his wife well, returned to the gate and looked at the people pushing the trolley out of the gate. He couldn't help but sighed. He turned to Zhao Zhen who followed behind him and said: "The imperial court is incompetent, and the tired people suffer. It's the shame of you and me." Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, but it won't be long before we can fight back, and I will never let the people of Song Dynasty suffer such suffering again." Shao Yun Nodded silently, and said: "Under the leadership of the emperor and Xinwang Qiansui, it will definitely be, this day will not be too far." At this moment, a teenager ran over and said: "My lord, the people in the city have all come out.

Shao Yun turned his head and held on to Zhao Zhen's shoulders, and said, "Brother Gao, your sister-in-law and the people will ask you on the way." "Don't worry, my lord, I will send my wife to Shanzhou City safely and securely." "Okay, it's late, you guys hurry up on the road!"

Zhao Zhen arched his hands and said: "General, see you in Shanzhou City!" Shao Yun smiled: "See you in Shanzhou City, you and I will not be drunk by then." Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded, turning around Zhao Xiaodao to lead The horse that comes, rides backwards. Zhao Xiaodao also turned on his horse, and said to Shao Yun: "Take care of the general!" Shao Yun smiled and said, "General Zhao, take care all the way, goodbye!" After that, Zhao Zhen fought his horse and brought his troops to protect the people towards the city of Shanzhou. go with.

When he got to the front, looking at the three thousand soldiers standing neatly in front and the countless ordinary people behind, Zhao Zhen led his troops. However, the people they escorted caused a cry. Some old people were first to cry. Then the young people who had been holding back the tears also started to cry. The whole east gate was crying loudly.

Shao Yun, who was standing at the gate of the city, saw this situation, his eyes flushed involuntarily, don't look too far and don't want others to see it. It's hard to wait for the big guy to stabilize a little before the whole team slowly moved. At this moment, the curtain of a carriage in the center of the team suddenly opened. Shao Yun's wife stood at the front of the car and shouted at the gate of the city: "Msang, my boy and I are waiting for you back in Shaanzhou City!" In an instant, Shao Yun's I couldn't hold back the tears anymore, I came out, raised my hand and shouted: "Take care of yourself and your children!"

Hearing Shao Yun's shout, although he could not see the other person, Shao Yun's wife nodded vigorously, and then returned to the car with the support of a maid who got out of the car.

After three days of walking, under the protection of more than 3,000 soldiers led by Zhao Zhen, more than 40,000 migrating people finally arrived outside the city of Shanzhou. Looking at the city nearly four feet high, the people who were struggling all the way could not help showing a trace of relief. Yes, I thought that the escape was difficult and dangerous, but under the protection of Zhao Zhen's more than 3,000 warriors and soldiers, he did not encounter any danger. Now that he has arrived in the capital safely, there is no reason to be unhappy.

With so many people, it was impossible for them all to enter the city at once, so Zhao Zhen had to order the soldiers to help the people set up tents and the like, and temporarily settle out of the city. Then, with a team of people to protect Mrs. Shao Yun into the city to Li Yanxian's house.

After entering the city, the city gradually regained some vitality after the recovery of time. At this time, some vegetable farmers were standing on both sides of the street, shouting and selling vegetables, and some shops on both sides opened their doors to welcome customers. Seeing the large number of pedestrians on the street, the group had to slow down and move forward slowly.

When he saw Li Yanxian, Li Yanxian said to Zhao Zhen: "Brother Gao Pang, you have worked hard, come to the house and talk soon." He also arranged Shao Yun's wife to rest in his family.

Only Zhao Zhen, Zhao Xiaodao, and Li Yanxian were left in the living room. Li Yanxian asked Zhao Zhen, "General Gao Pang, how many people from Xiezhou have you brought back this time?" Zhao Zhen gave a rough estimate and said. "There are almost 40,000 people." Li Yanxian frowned and said, "So many people? Oh, how can this be arranged." Shao Xing on the side saw Zongze's troubles and reminded: "General, you were the other day. Didn’t you mean to repair the city wall?"

"Yes, how did I forget about this. Haha, well, I will send some people to follow you out of the city to arrange these refugees later."

After the arrangements were made, Zhao Zhen bid farewell to Li Yanxian and left Shanzhou City. He is going to Zhongtiao Mountain to join Di Lei's army, and the trained soldiers from his base will be added to the army.

When he arrived at the cottage in Zhongtiao Mountain, Di Lei immediately greeted Zhao Zhen back. Zhao Zhen must first look at his newly supplemented and trained army.

There were two thousand newly recruited soldiers standing in a huge valley. This is a pre-planned school field. It is very large, and for two thousand people, it is also very large.

Seeing people who looked like generals came, these trained new army soldiers stood one by one like nails. Zhao Zhen walked among them, kicking this hind leg, pulling that hand. Sure enough, as Di Lei said, these recruits are well-trained, and their military posture is already very upright. Two thousand people stood in the valley, and there was no sound. These two thousand people also had a sense of killing in the silence.

"From today...you are the ones who believe in the king's army..." Zhao Zhen said while looking at them, reading the psychological information of each soldier from the expression on each soldier's face. After watching for a while, Zhao Zhen continued: "Maybe... You are wondering why you have to stand like this. That is to allow you to have discipline, quality, and iron-blooded mental outlook. We are an army of iron. An iron-blooded army that can defeat the fierce golden army. Now, let me talk about the discipline you must abide by!"

Having said that, Zhao Zhen repeated the discipline of the Wang Jun army again. In fact, these soldiers had already read and recite the military discipline of the Wang Jun before the training, so they all knew what Zhao Zhen said. Looking at the energetic source of troops below, Zhao Zhen recalled the days when he was a special forces instructor before crossing.

"From now on, you are the real fighters, and you are... the official brave fighters who believe in the king's army!" Zhao Zhen shouted loudly.

I have to say that standing military posture is definitely a training that tests people. He can let the soldiers learn as quickly as possible, and the real standing military posture is as easy as running water.

Zhao Zhen looked at the neat queue and laughed. He said loudly, "Our Song Army was retreating under the iron hoof of the Golden Army. Why? Because our Song Army’s combat effectiveness is weak. But we are different! We are one. An army different from the previous Song army. If, one day, your enemy, that group of fierce golden soldiers. Seeing you holding your flag, they will not laugh and despise, but will pee their pants in fright, this That’s... your achievement! Your greatest achievement for the guarding the left army where you are now! You can become a true brave soldier! A qualified iron soldier!"

Suddenly, the soldiers' hearts resonated. When the brave and fierce Golden Army saw their flags, they were so frightened, what a proud thing!

Zhao Zhen looked at them fiercely and waved his hand for the last time and said: "I ask you to kill more than twice as many enemies. I can take you and rush to the enemy's thousands of horses, and finally bring you back. Leave it to the enemy-the corpse! We only have victory and death! There is no defeat!"

"Long live victory!" "Long live the King of Letters!" "Death to fight against gold!" "Defend the motherland!" "Defend the homeland!" "Expulse the Golden Dog!" When the soldiers heard Zhao Zhen's words, they shouted slogans one after another. .

Now, seeing these morale high, and showing a look of blood and righteous indignation. In addition, Di Lei secretly told himself that the various strengths of this group of newly trained fighters and the fighting skills of combining with the team alone. Even Zhao Zhen had to admit that they looked a bit like real soldiers. Most of the soldiers in this group have not seen real killing and blood, only beasts. So, after they saw the blood, they became real warriors.

Soldiers of the Song Dynasty must have tattoos on their faces to prevent them from becoming deserters. However, in the era of loose military discipline and corruption of the court, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty was terrible. It was so terrible that hundreds of thousands of people were chased and beaten by thousands of people! Not as good as ordinary people!

Therefore, the soldier is the courage of the general, no matter how incompetent general, give him a strong army, he can also fight a good battle. But even if Yue Fei's soldiers were the kind of soldiers who turned around and ran after not fighting in a war, they would still be finished. This is also the reason why Zhao Zhen and Yue Fei both paid close attention to military training from the beginning. It was also because they trained hard, so the soldiers had a lot of appetite, which increased the burden on the original shortage of food in the King Xin's base area. At the same time, the letter king Zhao Zhen could not go to war with the Jin army on a large scale, and could only secretly maintain a tacit understanding of the truce with the Jin army.

"You must firmly remember that in battle, forever, unite! You save your robe, and your robe will be yours in the future. You are a whole, and the strength of unity can make you ten!" Zhao Zhen told them Said: "The enemy in front of you is dealt with by your comrades. You kill your enemies for your comrades. The enemy will never think of how terrible the tactics you have trained. Before he thought it was time to kill the enemy. !"
