Zong Ze rushed to Cizhou to serve as Zhizhou, recruited volunteers, and made preparations for resisting the gold. At the same time, he also helped the nearby prefectures of Xing, Huan, Zhao, and Xiang to establish 20,000 elite soldiers each. Zong Ze said happily: "If the enemy attacks one state, all four states should respond, so isn't there a hundred thousand people in each state?" What a golden soldier! ”
Zong Ze played the situation in Cizhou to the imperial court, and was soon rewarded. But at the same time, it also brought unpleasant news: Wang Yun, the Shangshu of the Punishment Department, went to Jinying to negotiate peace, and promised to hand over the annual taxes of the three towns of Zhongshan, Taiyuan, and Hejian to the Jin State.
What is particularly infuriating is that Geng Nanzhong and Tang Ke of the Lord's Peace Faction slandered Li Gang, saying that fighting against Jin was a laborer's expense. As a result, Li Gang and a number of officials of the main war faction were demoted from the Beijing Division.
When Zong Ze saw that the imperial court was so cowardly of the enemy, he expected that the Jin people would have to advance inches and defend the territory to resist the enemy. He ordered the manufacture of the Divine Arm Bow, a sharp weapon for defending the city, and stepped up the training of people and horses. Sure enough, the Song Dynasty's peacemaking only fueled the arrogance of the Jin people. Jin will not be able to advance from Jingxing, and will go straight to the Tianwei army, break the true determination, and go down to Zhongshan. The Song Dynasty was horrified.
When Zong Ze found out that he had reached the north bank of the Yellow River without leading his troops, he said to his subordinates: "When the Jin people cross the river, Li Gudu will cross the river." When he crosses the river, we will try to attack and we will win a total victory. ”
At this moment, Tan Ma Lai reported: "The incoming soldiers did not cross the river, but came to Cizhou to kill." Zong Ze said, "This must be because I am not afraid of using troops behind my back, so I divide the troops to attack." Or, when I am ready to calculate, I will hold him here. ”
Zong Ze draped himself up to the city, only to see that where the dust began, the Golden Soldier's Xiao threw the iron horse like a whirlwind. The old general immediately ordered the archers to meet the battle with the bow of the Divine Arm.
At the sound of an order, the arrows flew like a fly. The Golden Army cavalry could never have imagined that the small Magnetic State would have such a strong bow and crossbow. The front team could not avoid it and fell off the horse. The rear team hesitated, and the formation was chaotic.
Suddenly, a cannon sounded, the city gate opened widely, and a mighty silver-bearded veteran, dancing with a large knife in his hand, came to kill him on a flying horse. The Soldiers of Cizhou bravely competed for the lead, and the troops of nearby states echoed. How the Golden Soldier resisted, he immediately fled.
