Wang Yue and his five thousand infantrymen began to run wildly in the Jiangnan water town in winter...

At least seventy kilometers!

Well, it's not too far, at least for Wang Yue, but since he can marching like soldiers, the soldiers must follow even if they vomit blood. As for the four representatives of Yue Fei and others, they rode horses or even donkeys collected from the people, which was enough to keep up.

the next day.

On the canal south of Wujiang.

The Suzhou Canal has been opened to navigation in the past few days. At most, there is still some thin ice on the river surface occasionally, but it does not affect the ship's navigation at all. Therefore, the great painter changed to a canal boat in Suzhou. After all, he did not like bumps by land, and he also had the 30,000 imperial camp with him to protect him.

"Official family, Chen Gou committed suicide by defeating his troops three days ago."

Shi Rugang said carefully on his special canal boat.

This was sent by Suzhou urgently. Because there was chaos everywhere these days, the news from the government was slower.

After all, the Zhenjiang court was in chaos.

In fact, after they escaped, a large number of northern princes and ministers who followed the south of Zhenjiang to flee south one after another, especially those royal nobles who had no real power. In recent years, due to the disaster of Wang Yue in the north, all the princes and nobles in the north went south. They followed the great painters. The great painters fled to Hangzhou, and of course they also wanted to flee to Hangzhou. This kind of escape has caused many folk gentry to make arrangements in advance. After all, the emperor is not confident, so of course they are not confident.

Now, it is right to do this.

The great painter snorted coldly, as if the result was long before he expected.

Of course, Shi Rugang didn't dare to tell him that Chen Go was actually cheated to death by him. In fact, Chen Go still insisted on fighting until noon the next day.

The battle on the west bank of Shooting the water lasted for two days. Relying on the real efforts of Liu Yanqing and his son, as well as the rewards that were constantly cashed on the spot, and the encouragement of the great painter's command in person, Chen Gou led his army to stick to the formation and never defeated until noon the next day. During this period, Yang Zaixing's troops attacked many times, but were held back by the Southern Song army. They even organized a group of suicide squads to try to attack at night at night. Although the result was still failed, their performance was indeed qualified.

After all, the Northern Song Army did not have an overwhelming advantage over the Southern Song Army in terms of strength.

The gap in equipment is very small.

The latter has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength.

The former is indeed more well-trained, disciplined, and has a high fighting will, but the rewards of the latter are also very effective. Chen Go has been transporting the rewards from Yangzhou to the front line one after another, and then sent them to the soldiers on the battlefield. The suicide squad even had one hundred silver coins per person. Chen Go personally sent them, and then they handed them home to relatives and friends in the army. In the end, three hundred suicide squads attacked the Changsheng Army at night and were wiped out. However, this method is really effective.

Of course, the real reason is that Yang Zaixing's lack of command level.

He is indeed a powerful general, but a powerful general does not represent the command ability of the large corps. After all, he is still young. Although he has fought a lot with Wang Yue over the years, he cannot learn any military command ability with Wang Dawang. On the contrary, he is used to brainless rushing. When he first attacked Liaodong, there were Wu Jie and Han Shizhong as supporters, especially Wu Jie. The command ability beat Wang Yue, and everything was arranged for him. He just wanted to be brainless rushing.

The king can win without any brains, which does not mean that others can do it.

He may not necessarily be able to keep up with Liu Yanqing in terms of command ability.

The latter is indeed a runaway general, but when the runaway general does not runaway, he is an old fox who has been struggling on the battlefield for decades.

In short, the ever-winning army on the water shooting battlefield did take the initiative, but it was not easy to quickly break through Chen Gou's formation. The decisive battle was not decided until noon the next day, but at this time, the news of the great painter's escape was first sent to the front line by Liu Yanqing's slaves. Then the other major generals also learned the news through their own channels. They originally didn't believe it, but at this time, Yang Zaixing temporarily stopped the attack and adjusted the tactics. They went to Chen Gou to discuss it angrily.

In fact, Chen Go, who also knew about it, tried to hide it for the great painter, but this was useless. That night, Liu Yanqing and his son took their cavalry and bid farewell without saying goodbye.

Then the armies collapsed.

Chen Go, full of grief and anger, finally chose to commit suicide.

Yang Zaixing did not make things difficult for him. He directly used the prepared coffin to fill him, and then the Changsheng Army rushed towards Tianchang. Li Guang, Fu Xuan and others who retreated to Tianchang continued to retreat to Yangzhou, and then used Yangzhou's solid city walls to defend.

The Yangzhou city walls are stronger than Kaifeng.

Because it is bricked.

When the capital of the Song Dynasty only had the imperial city to enclose bricks, Yangzhou City had completed brick-packing.

Yang Zaixing did not attack Yangzhou immediately, but went south from Tianchang to capture Zhenzhou.

This is the news that the great painter has received. In addition, the left-behind Lu Haowen and others have already taken the great painter's son, Zhao Shu, as the supervisor...

He was kidnapped by mutiny soldiers, so of course he wanted to find a ruling country.

In short, the current Southern Song Dynasty court has not completely collapsed, and Yang Zaixing, who arrived in Zhenzhou, did not find enough boats to cross the Yangtze River. Of course, the Southern Song Dynasty would not leave ships in Jiangbei. As for the Imperial Navy, it has already gone south, so despite the weak river defense, Yang Zaixing could only sigh to the Yangtze River.

In fact, while Fu Xuan and others were still retreating to Yangzhou, he was not able to continue moving forward alone.

He has to wait for Han Chang who is besieging Chuzhou.

Moreover, Liu Yanqing and his son also ran to Chuzhou. Although they could not really stand firm in Chuzhou, they actually fled to Qingliu Guanxi and met with Liu Guangneng, who also retreated, Yang Zaixing could not really ignore them. In short, although the battlefield of shooting water collapsed, because Han Chang's troops did not arrive, Yang Zaixing could only stop at the Yangtze River. However, with Chen Go's defeat, Chuzhou could not last long.

"I asked Lu Hao to leave the imperial edict and said that I was fine, but I couldn't go back to Zhenjiang for the time being. They should do it themselves. Don't let the thieves cross the river and posthumously named Chen Gou a prince!"

The great painter said with a gloomy face.

Anyway, these people cannot give up the Yangtze River defense line...

They did not protect him, and gave up the Yangtze River defense line and let the Changsheng Army go. The unlucky one was that the gentry in Jiangnan was not only the great painters. No matter how angry they were, they had to stick to it. The great painters were not stupid. He was very smart. He dared to escape because he knew very well that those ministers had to pinch their noses and endured it. With the enemy Wang Yue, they would not turn against him. They still knew the importance of the enemy. He went to Hangzhou first to stabilize it. Then he would be in charge of his son's regent first, and he never admitted it anyway.

I just arrived in Hangzhou with an imperial edict.

It is definitely not possible now. Now we have to coax Lu Haowen and others first and let them continue to defend Zhenjiang.

"The official family is wise!"

Shi Rugang quickly praised him.

"What should I do about Liu Yanqing?"

He asked immediately.

"Just just give me some advice, they are indispensable in this situation now."

Cai You said quickly.

The great painter nodded. At this time, he had to coax Liu Yanqing and his son. If the ministers in Zhenjiang were ignorant, they had to let Liu Yanqing and his son cross the river to be thugs. As for the issue of escape at the last minute, it was not worth mentioning, the basic operation of the Liu family father and son.

Immediately afterwards, he stood up and walked out of the cabin, and Cai You and the others hurried out.

"Look at my great country!"

The great painter stood on the deck and looked at the scenery of the water towns on both sides of the strait with emotion.

Although it was winter, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have basically become ripe with rice and wheat. Even if you don’t plant wheat in winter, you still grow rapeseed. Looking around, it is still green, but the color is darker. The water net and small villages are added to the horizontal lines, which makes people feel refreshed.

This is the Suhang he dreamed of.

He actually doesn't like Zhenjiang.

After all, it is not the real Jiangnan, it can only be said to be a margin. The real Jiangnan is here. As a middle-aged literary and artistic age, he fled south all the years, but it cannot be said to be completely timid. This Jiangnan complex is also partly the reason. Just like the imprint of his previous life, what he dreams of is to step on this land, step on this beautiful country depicted by countless poems, and then pursue his artistic inspiration on this land...

"Stop the boat, I want to paint!"

He suddenly said.

This inspiration is simply to come!

"Quick, stop the boat!"

Cai You shouted quickly.

The artist's inspiration comes like a diaper.

The canals under their feet stopped quickly, and countless canals connected to each other on the canal behind had to stop one after another. The soldiers of the imperial camp guards looked in confusion, watching their emperor standing on the deck, and the eunuch inside carried out the table and put on various paints. The artist picked up a pen in his hand, and then stood by the table and looked ahead. There was a small village with dozens of families by the canal on the side of the canal, and the bamboo fence and thatched cottage was quiet under the blue sky and white clouds.

“What’s the name here?”

He asked.

Cai You hurriedly looked at the boatman.

"If you go back to the official's house, this place is called Shengze."

The latter said tremblingly.

"This name is good. I have a prosperous and prosperous Song Dynasty, and the government's family is the people."

Cai You said.

"Haha, you are always so good at speaking. After so many years, you can count on what I want!"

The great painter said with a smile.

Then he looked at Sheng Ze, who was just a small village, picked up his brush and brewed his emotions, preparing to leave another masterpiece for future generations.

But at this moment, a puzzled expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he rubbed his eyes instinctively to make a protruding position. He widened his eyes and looked at the bamboo fence thatched cottage. In front of the bamboo fence door of a nearest residential house, a man was sitting on a bamboo chair, holding a cat in his arms, looking like he had been quiet, but then he slowly raised his head and smiled slightly at him, and raised his right hand to greet him...
