Bathed in Blood

At the end of August in the fourth year of the lunar calendar, in the Mengshan area of ​​​​Sihe River, the bandit army in the Red Coat Village was in full swing. After the defeat of the Jin army, they were not discouraged and promptly re-allocated their troops and horses: to bind the world, to eliminate Shi Liehuanduan, and to disperse Anzhen and guard Mengyin.

, Xintai, Laiwu, blocked Lin Qian's northward march, while Wan Yan and Xiao Lun were scattered and left at home. Xuanyuan Jiuye occupied Ju County, Yishui, and Linqu, blocking his eastward advance.

He Shilie and Xuanyuan had a clear understanding of the situation in Shandong: two routes must be divided. To prevent Lin Qian from moving north, he could not allow Lin Qian to take advantage of the situation to invade Tai'an and disrupt Huang Laqing's plan to suppress Yang An; and prevent Lin Qian from advancing eastward.

, Lin Qian cannot be allowed to open up the Yishui River and Linqu, and then integrate with the troops of Liu Erzu of Qingzhou and Zheng Yande of Weizhou to spread all over central Shandong.

All the generals of the Jin Dynasty saw that Lin Qian was heading straight towards Tai'an. How many of them, like He Shilie Xuanyuan, made it clear that Liu Erzu, Zheng Yande and other soldiers and horses, like Yang An, should not join Lin Qian!?

In early September, Lin Qian's army poured in from Mengyin, Juxian and other places. The attack on the east road was more fierce than on the north road. If Xuanyuan Jiuye hadn't taken precautions, Juxian would have been doomed. All the generals were sad. Fortunately, Xuanyuan Jiuye

Ye had foresight that if he concentrated on setting up defenses in Mengyin and other places, Lin Qian would first join Liu Erzu and others and then attack Tai'an. I am afraid that the Song bandits would have a better chance of winning by then.

"I just know him very well." Xuanyuan Jiuye from Linqu Jinying answered this. He was not being modest. He knew Lin Qian well. The more critical he was, the more calm he would be. Tai'an was surrounded by iron barrels, Lin Qian

Qian may not come to rescue Tai'an in the first step, he may come to rescue him in the third step, but his first and second steps are obviously paving the way for the third step. No one knows Qian better than Xuanyuan - especially

When the Battle of Pingyi ended, Xuanyuan Jiuye could vaguely sense Lin Qian's pace, not hurriedly heading north, but slowly heading east...

Looking back at the battle of Pingyi, Xuanyuan Jiuye lost unexpectedly. In just one night, the entire Laoyue Sect was reduced to a heavy wheel, which was full of power but could not turn. Between Xu Shi and Hai Shi, he obtained

The intelligence enabled him to prepare how to defeat Lin Qian. This was a rare opportunity he had in recent years. Lin Qian lost to the ghost. But Xuanyuan Jiuye never expected that this poisonous snake would lose to Liu Xiang.

That little person who has nothing to do with the battlefield...

Xuanyuan sighed and laughed, who said that on the battlefield, small people should stand aside. Big people often lose to small people. This time, it was a victory given to Lin Qian by God.

But not necessarily. In fact, Tian also gave Xuanyuan Jiuye a reminder. When he took over the Laoyue Sect, the followers of the Laoyue Sect insisted that they would expose Xiang Qingfeng and others' corpses to the public. At that time, the uncontrollable situation had already been revealed.

There were signs, but Xuanyuan ignored them because he wanted to bury Xiang Qingfeng. In other words, Xuanyuan still underestimated Liu Jun and his Laoyue Sect. People say that those who underestimate the enemy will easily lose the battle, but they did not expect that if they underestimated their own people, they would also lose the battle.

…

The Yimeng battlefield has gradually slowed down at this stage. In the past few months, Lin Qian lost Qian Shuang, Xiang Qingfeng, Yang Zhili and other generals, and suffered heavy losses. Jin Fang was even more cruel. Liang Jin died, Zheng Xiao died, and Liu Jun died.

, Chu Fengyue abandoned her mission, and Tu Chanyong repeatedly vomited blood.

"How many heroes and martyrs can come back?" At the same moment, Heshi Liehuanduan was also standing at the gate of Xintai, looking at the sunset on the horizon like blood, thinking, Liang Jin died when the earthworm shook the tree, and Zheng Xiao died when there was someone outside.

, Liu Jun died of his own misfortune.

Fortunately, the Song bandits in Qingzhou and Weizhou are not Lin Qian's solid allies - it's just that they are too weak. In early March of this year, the few battles that Yang Songxian and Xu Yuan fought for Liu Erzu, Zheng Yande and others were just to help

They have just established a firm foothold. Without the injection of allied forces, they are basically still a backwater. They are only a little better than before and have a few more talents. Therefore, after He Shilie and Xuanyuan Jiuye discussed it, they both

It was decided to send troops to attack Qingzhou and Weizhou before Lin Qian. In this way, Lin Qian could be given absolute resistance and even pressure.

Therefore, starting from mid-September, the Qingzhou Army was once again in a hurry, and the Weizhou Army was also in desperate need again. Under the suppression of Tu Chanyong, Shao Hongyuan and others, Liu Erzu, Zheng Yande and others could only protect themselves. Seeing Lin Qian wanted to

The idea of ​​uniting them to fight back to Tai'an has been broken - not only has it been broken, they seem to be more in need of rescue than Yang An. The war is in chaos and the water is in dire straits.

"He Shilie Huanduan and Xuanyuan Jiuye, with these two, they must be one step ahead in every battle." Even Lin Qian admired the perfect combination of He Shilie and Xuanyuan's conspiracy.

However, Lin Qian never gives up just because of resistance, and he will do it even more when there is pressure.

"Tianjiao, Xinyu, Brother Liu, Mengchang went north, Song Xian, Zhicheng stayed behind, Evil Queen, Fan Yu, come with me." Lin Qian's eyes never left the map: from Yimeng to Weizhou, there are only

It is the fastest and most dangerous road. Fighters are rare and must be taken this way.

"Brother Lin, I thought we would fight Tai'an directly in the next battle. Who would have thought that you and the enemy would attack Weizhou first? Why is that?" Hai Bu asked on the way.

"Because we are going back to Tai'an, of course the whole Red Coat Village must go back together." When Lin Qian said, he looked into Fan Yu's eyes and took him with him. It was a verification, a trust, and an opportunity for heart-to-heart communication. This time, Chen Xu was in Linyi

, Fan Yu followed Lin Qian to Weizhou, and the two of them could only go to Tai'an. In this round, it is a matter of whether a man or a ghost wins.

"Ju..." Lin Meicai rode beside them, looking at the road signs passing by and reading. Within a moment, brothers who had entered Ju County a few days ago came to meet them. There were only a hundred allied soldiers and generals here.

In the Juxian area, the power of the Red Coat Village has always been relatively weak. Since the death of Zhao Xian, Qian Shuang and others in Tang Dynasty, this area has been dominated by the Jin Army. Except for an old tribe of Liu Erzu, the leader is named Hao Ding, whose hometown is in Yanzhou.

Following Liu Erzu, he came to Ju County in recent years. When the war broke out in Pingyi, Linyi, he organized the people and his former brothers to resist Wanyan's slander, and finally re-established the Red Coat Stronghold in Ju County, which has been here for several months.

There have been struggles of various sizes in the past few days, but due to the inability to join the main force of the Allied forces, there have been heavy casualties in every battle. The losses have been high, the enemy is strong and we are weak, so naturally we can only make a living and cannot expand.

Not long ago, on the eighth day of September, Hao Ding repelled five attacks by more than a thousand Jin troops in one day, and counterattacked at night. All the brothers fought bloody battles, and Hao Ding himself was ridiculed by Wanyan.

His neck was pierced and bleeding all the way. The war horse was exhausted. His leg was cut with a knife and fell to the ground. He still dragged Wanyan Tiao Lun and beat him. It was rare for Wan Yan Tiao Lun to fight so vigorously. His head was covered with blood.

Hao Ding grabbed him by the collar and threw him to the ground. He pinned him down and beat him in embarrassment. He yelled angrily and pushed Hao Ding away and pushed back. The two of them hugged each other and fought. It had nothing to do with swords and guns. They were directly on the arms and thighs...

Following the example of Hao Ding and Wanyan Xianlun, the Jin Army and the Song Army all risked their lives. They killed dozens of people and then were chopped up by dozens of others. In the end, it was not clear what the outcome was.

Who was more injured. In the end, those who survived did not know how they got off the battlefield, and those who died seemed to have been burned alive by the fire and choked to death by the smoke. At dawn, the people in that entire area

Houses, streets and courtyards were full of corpses and blood. It was at dawn that day that the allied troops sent by Lin Qian entered Ju County in time and helped the seriously injured Hao Ding repel Wan Yan's reinforcements.

Only then did the situation in Ju County become more stable.

"The supporting army of the Jin Dynasty was ironically led by Gu Zhen." At this time, the allied general explained to Lin Qian.
