On the Han River and Fancheng Town, Yang Jin immediately looked at the snowy river surface and was overjoyed: "It's really the heaven that helps me! This heavy snowfall in the Han River is frozen, so we can walk through the ice! After passing the Han River, we can see that the troops behind us are still chasing me! At that time, the sea was wide and the fish leaped, and the sky was high and the birds were flying. Which one could stop me! Find a few wealthy state troops and live a few days of peace!"

After saying that, he ordered his men to go to the ice surface of Hanshui immediately to find a suitable place to cross the river.

After receiving the order, more than a dozen soldiers rushed to the river surface and ran towards the heart of the river together. Everyone was competing for the first place to make a great contribution in front of Yang Jin. After running more than ten steps, suddenly a clear sound was heard, and more than a dozen people fell into the river one after another.

Everyone on the shore was stunned. After a while, someone said, "I'm afraid the ice is too thin and the river cannot pass!"

Yang Jin was so angry that his seven orifices smoked. He said sternly: "The snow is so heavy, the ice surface must be thick! Go to ten more people and be careful!"

Forced by Shangguan, ten more soldiers carefully arrived on the ice. After walking for more than ten steps, they heard the sound of the ice surface under their feet breaking, and ran back like crazy. Three people still ran slowly and fell into the river.

Looking at the soldiers struggling in the river, Yang Jin's eyes were dull and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Twenty miles away, Shao Ling and Niu Gao walked together. The snow on the ground was too thick and the speed was very slow.

Looking at the brigade behind him, Niu Gao said, "When can you catch up with Yang Jin when can you walk like an ant?"

Shao Ling said: "It's snowing heavily in the sky, which one can do it? Don't worry, it's hard for us to leave, and Yang Jin's army is also hard for us to leave. As long as we don't chase and lose track, we're still afraid that he will fly into the sky!"

Niu Gao said: "With such heavy snow, the Han River will inevitably be frozen. The army wades through the ice and passes through the Han River in less than a day."

After hearing this, Shao Ling couldn't help laughing: "Brother is really joking! He has lived for decades and has never heard of the Han River that can freeze. The Qinling Mountains have passed here. Although it snows heavily, there is no thick ice. Even if the Han River is frozen, it is impossible to cross the river. If it really needs to freeze, the boat will not be able to pass for a while. At that time, Yang Jin had no way to escape!"

Niu Gao said: "The Han River really won't freeze?"

Shao Ling said: "It's hard to say whether it will freeze if it snows like this. But even if it freezes, there will be no one on it."

Niu Gao nodded before he felt relieved. Because of the heavy snow, Yang Jin was not walking fast on the road. Xiangyang knew that there were thieves attacking, so he would at least put away the ferry on the Han River. For a moment, Yang Jin really couldn't cross the river.

In the evening, Shao Ling and Niu Gao set up camp. As soon as the sun set, a spy came back and said that Yang Jin was blocked by the Han River. Because the Han River was frozen and there was no ferry, there was nowhere to go for a while, so he could only stay in Fancheng Town.

Back at the handsome tent, Niu Gao Meimei sat down and said, "Yang Jin is as slippery as a fish, and he is extremely brave and it is really hard to catch him. This time we were blocked by the Han River. Let's see what he can do! We will advance together tomorrow and destroy this thief!"

Shao Ling said: "We should be careful when driving people into the alley. Tomorrow I will be the front, and you will be the surprise soldier, so don't let him run away again. After breaking Dengzhou, there will be more powerful arches and crossbows in the army. Tomorrow, the crossbowmen will be concentrated, and I will fight with Yang Jin first. You will lead the troops around its flanks to attack. After all, it is a bandit. Yang Jin's military discipline is not strict. Once you attack, you will either rush to my crossbow army formation or you will have to retreat to the Han River."

After hearing this, Niu Gao nodded and said yes. He recruited the military guide and asked about the nearby geography in detail. The two discussed setting up the formation.

Everything was discussed and ordered people to roast the sheep. The two of them had a good meal and had a rest early.

In Dengzhou City, Ji Ling and Wang Ruohai stayed in the city for three days because of heavy snow. They looked at the sunny sky and said goodbye to the north.

Wang Xiaolie sent two hundred soldiers to accompany them and sent them out of the North City Gate. During these three days, Wang Xiaolie had a great chat with Wang Ruohai. Since he came to this world, this is the first time that Wang Xiaolie has met a real scholar. Although he has many different opinions from Wang Ruohai, most of the conversation is still pleasant. Especially Wang Ruohai is a pro-war faction, and he is in a similar mood to Wang Xiaolie.

Seeing the people and his group left, Wang Xiaoli stood there for a long time. In his previous life, he had a bad impression of the literati of this era. Because many people said that the Song Dynasty could not be restored, and was in the south, and even wanted to surrender to the Jin Dynasty, it was all caused by these literati. In fact, now that I think this statement is unreasonable. In this era, no matter whether it is civil or military, there are many people who are determined to recover. It is just that Zhao Gou is relatively peaceful and values ​​the lords and the corps. Whether it is civil or military officials or generals, those who are in charge of war are excluded. Once the politics of the dynasty, the role of the emperor is crucial and cannot be underestimated.

The role of political leaders should not be too exaggerated, but they should never be underestimated. Especially this political leader is an emperor, with natural orthodox nature and uniqueness, or lifelong system. Has Zhao Gou resisted the Jin Dynasty? Of course, there is. Because in the early days, the Jin Dynasty did not allow him to be calm and must be eliminated, and Zhao Gou had to resist. But when the Jin Dynasty was willing to accept the division of the north and the south, Zhao Gou immediately surrendered.

The situation at this time was somewhat similar to the later anti-Japanese war. Without the variable of the party, many things would be similar. Chiang did not want to resist Japan at first, but he kept thinking about surrendering. He would not hesitate to sell his territory and citizens. As long as the Japanese army did not attack its core area, Chiang was acceptable. It was not until the Xi'an Incident that under various pressures that Chiang began to change his attitude. In the end, Song and Jin were in opposition, Mongolia rose and destroyed the Jin Dynasty. China insisted on not surrendering to Japan, ushering in the United States to join the war and won victory.

Just like Zhao Gou was called the Lord of ZTE, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang was also packaged as a national hero. However, the later it became, this statement was really ironic, and fewer talents were mentioned.

There is a saying that Zhao Gou had a minister who had recovered but no ambition to recover. After that, Xiaozong had ambition to recover but no ambition to recover. This statement was wrong. No matter when, the world would not be short of talents, but there was no chance to stand out. Zhao Gou had been in a state of peace for more than 30 years. The civil and military generals who had ambition to recover were old when Emperor Xiaozong came to power. Not only that, he did not know the military skills for thirty years, and the army was also corrupt. If Emperor Xiaozong really had ambition to recover, he could start over and slowly cultivate it. The situation would inevitably be renewed in 10 or 20 years. It would be better to say that Emperor Xiaozong had ambition to recover but no ambition to recover, but did not have the ability to recover.

When people in later generations study history, they always have to find various excuses for Zhao Gou. Those who worship culture and suppress martial arts are killed, so the army cannot defeat the Jin Dynasty. The mainstream in the court is surrender, and a few pro-war factions will not be able to make a big fuss. The people in the south live a stable life, and the Northern Expedition will increase the burden, so the people do not want to fight the Northern Expedition. It is all specious and incorrect. The biggest promoter of the peace talks between the Song and Jin Dynasties is undoubtedly Zhao Gou. Yue Fei's killing, military and political abolition, and the pro-war factions were suppressed. Zhao Gou was the first responsible person, and Qin Hui and others were behind him.

There is a famous historical expert who wrote a book "The Desolate and Injustice of Song Gaozong", which talked about Zhao Gou's various absurd actions between the two Song dynasties, but still could not change the ideas of these people. Of course, saying that Zhao Gou is desolate and injustice is already a small situation. As a monarch, desolate and injustice is not an unforgivable sin. The most important thing about Zhao Gou's problem is surrender.

With this view, after all, there are still many people who cannot insist that the people are the masters of history and can only evaluate history from the standpoint of the people. Many times, the people cannot determine the direction of history. The people's wishes and ideals are trampled on by various powers. But the people's likes and dislikes are there, and their laughter and cry are recorded in history.

The shame of Jingkang is rare in the world. Those who firmly wanted to take revenge on the Northern Expedition, whether civil officials or military generals, were at this time. It was under Zhao Gou's suppression that most of them were unsuccessful. It was not until the Jin Dynasty was exhausted that Zhao Gou and Qin Hui joined forces to determine the general trend.

When Wang Xiaolie came to this world, except for Zong Ze, Wang Ruohai was the first official to fight. He talked to him and felt emotion.

Whether it is governing the country or governing the local area, there must be no civil officials. Using military generals to govern will cause many harms. The late Tang and Five Dynasties in the past are examples. Now Wang Xiaoli owns several states and urgently needs civil officials to help him do things.

Everyone left, Wang Xiaoli returned to Dengzhou City, but for a moment he didn't know what to do.

At noon, a fast horse suddenly came from Xiangyang Prefecture. He reported that Wang Xiaoli was killed by the Han River.

After hearing the soldiers' reports, Wang Xiaoliu suddenly stood up and asked, "How did Yang Jin kill? How did his remnants?"

The soldiers said: "The snowstorm a few days ago, the Han River was also frozen, and the ferry was not allowed to travel. Moreover, the ice was too thin to support the crossing of the ice. Yang Jin's troops were surrounded by Fancheng Town besieged by the Han River. Shao Zheng often brought crossbowmen to attack head-on. Fierce battle was in full swing, Niu Zheng brought hundreds of cavalry and suddenly attacked Yang Jin's flank. For a moment, Yang Jin's troops were chaotic and the situation could not be cured. Yang Jin brought his confidants to attack in person, and was shot by the armor-breaking arrows fired by the hard crossbows in the army and fell off the horse. Our army's morale was shocked and we attacked together, and we won. Yang Jin died in the chaos, and his troops were either killed or captured by the two commanders, and they were wiped out!"

"Okay, okay!" Wang Xiaolie sat down slowly and breathed a sigh of relief. The last time he defeated Yang Jin, he obviously surrounded him, but he had no choice but to let him escape, leaving a shadow in Wang Xiaolie's heart. This guy is majestic and powerful. If he doesn't need a strong bow and hard crossbow, he will have no choice. After capturing Dengzhou, Wang Xiaolie immediately added the strong bow and hard crossbow in the Armored Scepter Library into the army, which was indeed a miraculous effect.

After admiring for a while, Wang Xiaolie asked: "How are the two armies of Shao Ling and Niu Gao prepared? Where is Xiangyang Prefecture?"

The soldiers said: "Shao Tongzhi and Niu Tongzhi both temporarily lived in Fancheng Town, waiting for the military order of the prefect. Li Zhizhou of Xiangyang Prefecture received an imperial edict a few days ago and moved to Hongzhou. When the next office was settled, he heard that Yang Jin brought the army to attack, so he left early. There are no guards in Xiangyang Prefecture."

The prefect of Xiangyang Prefecture was originally Li Jizhong, an old minister in the court, a successive censor, and a Hanlin. Because he was a member of the Yuanyou Party, he was demoted from the court. After Zhao Gou ascended the throne, he liquidated Cai Jing and others, and the Yuanyou Party members were reused.

Hearing that Li Jizhong had escaped, Wang Xiaolie immediately called a personal soldier and ordered him to go to Fancheng Town, and ordered Shao Ling to lead his army across the Han River and into Xiangyang City. Niu Gao took his troops and immediately returned to Dengzhou.
