Chapter 225 Chasing and Killing
"I heard that the Jin people offered high-ranking officials and generous salaries to recruit General Han to surrender. I respect General Han as a man, so I came here to remind him not to agree to the Jin people." The young man did not come to surrender him as Han Shizhong guessed: " Because the Jin people have already died as grasshoppers after the autumn, and the Clay Bodhisattvas cannot save themselves when they cross the river, their promises will become empty words and will eventually be in vain."

"Aren't you...?" Han Shizhong asked in surprise. Half of what he said was swallowed back by himself.

Saying this directly was too much of a loss of points, as it seemed like he was expecting to be surrendered.

"Haha!" The young man's laughter made the generals in the tent feel even more uncomfortable. Fortunately, what he said later was still pleasant to the ears: "I definitely want to persuade General Han to join our Chen family army, but I believe that I can only rely on myself." I will definitely not win your trust with my words, but please take a good look at our military government in the days to come and see how we manage the country and the people. When the time comes, the door of our Chen Family Army will always be open to you."

There is an underlying concept in this sentence, which is to tell everyone in the tent that it is okay not to join the Chen family army, just watch quietly, and don't fight against the Chen family army.

"Chen Jiajun is grand, let's wait and see." Han Shizhong stood up and made a farewell gesture.

If they don't join the Jin army, if their 500 people want to prevent the Chen family's army from going ashore, they will be like mantises.

That being the case, Han Shizhong decided to let his subordinates freely choose to stay or stay, except to surrender to the Jinren.

"General Han, take care, see you tomorrow." The young man said goodbye consciously.

When he walked out, the atmosphere in the tent immediately changed.

Several questions from the young man completely overturned the views of these generals who were loyal to Song Ting. They may have known these things before, but they had never thought of comparing Song Ting and Chen Thief together.

In their previous concept, if a Chen thief rebelled against the Song Dynasty, he was a traitor. There is no doubt about it.

But now after the young people sorted out the questions, they realized that sometimes a country may not be a country, and thieves may not be thieves.

"After today, everyone will go their separate ways." Han Shizhong finally made the final decision: "But before everyone disperses, let me first kill this shameless man who has no king and no father, and lives as a prisoner."

After finishing speaking, Han Shizhong walked up to the young general who was kneeling on the ground, pulled out the long knife from his waist, inserted the knife into the back of the young general who got up to run away, then pulled it out, swung the knife again, and beheaded him.

"Here, as a brother, I finally advise everyone not to surrender to the Jin people. It would be shameful for me."

"General..."

……

On July [-], all the bodies that could be salvaged were buried on the coast twenty miles south of the Jishui River.

There are more than a dozen big pits, so these people are buried in their graves.

The armies of Chen's army also disembarked from here. After Ke Lei left some supplies and [-] warships, he returned with all the captures.

In addition to the harvest of warships from this naval battle, Chen Jiajun also obtained all of Zhao Gou's savings, which was much less than expected. Maybe it was because he had eaten too much in Kaifeng. Chen Xun now saw that Zhao Gou was worth more than 100 million taels of silver. My savings feel really meager.

On the contrary, the ships gathered by the three countries became the greatest wealth gained from this naval battle.

Chen Xun was not idle these two days. He first spent most of the day releasing more than 2 horses for the army to use, and then went to sea to collect the remaining king squid into the zoo.

The rest of the time was spent on various mundane affairs. Today, it finally came to an end and I was able to free up my hands to deal with Wanyan Zongbi.

"What? He ran away?" The information coming from the front made Chen Xun slightly regretful that he did not seize the opportunity.

"Jia Tao, where is Yue Fei now?" After the victory in the naval battle, Jia Tao rushed over in time, intending to provide the most timely intelligence support for Chen Jiajun's subsequent land battle.

"We have entered Cangzhou and reported in a letter yesterday that we just passed Qingchi County." Jia Tao replied.Qingchi County is Fuguo County of Cangzhou, nearly four hundred miles away from Jishui.

"The speed is not bad. It should be able to block the Jin soldiers returning from the north." Chen Xun said.

"Yue Fei only has [-] cavalry, and the Jin army has [-]. They are eager to return north, just like poor bandits. If Yue Fei is to stop them, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses, right?" Jia Tao worried.

"No." Chen Xun shook his head. Even if the Mongolian horse that had been strengthened twice still ate grass, its combat power was already very high.

Moreover, the Jin people were not that powerful. In later historical records, eight thousand Han Shizhong defeated the one hundred thousand Jin soldiers. Now Yue Fei's [-] Chen Jiajun cavalry can be said to be elite, with good soldiers and horses. However, it is not difficult to block the Jin soldiers. not tall.

However, to be on the safe side, Chen Xun still planned to send another group of soldiers to intercept.

"How many ships can the Wudi River carry?"

The Wudi River is located in Wudi County, Dizhou, north of Binzhou. Jin people had to cross the Wudi River if they wanted to return north.

"Thousand-stone ships can travel unimpeded, and five-hundred-stone ships can travel parallel." Jia Tao replied.

Chen Xun was very satisfied with this answer. It seemed that the intelligence department had a lot of real money but no flowers.

"Send all the small boats from the outer sea to transport five thousand musketeers to join Yue Fei. The Jin must be intercepted in Wudi Henan." Chen Xun ordered.

"Yes!" The officer next to him received the order and turned around to make arrangements.

"Others pack their bags immediately. We have to catch up from behind and surround and annihilate Wanyan Zongbi in Henan, Wudi." Chen Xun stood up: "After this battle, Hebei will no longer have an enemy to fight against, and this large area of ​​land will belong to our army. It’s in the government’s pocket.”

"Captain, Wan Sheng!"

"The military government is victorious!"

The well-trained Chen Jiajun organized the army very quickly, leaving all the bulky materials in place. On hot days, there was no need to carry tents, and they could sleep outdoors at night.

The [-]-strong army was lightly armed, mounted its war horses and set off directly to the north.

After the first day, there was only thirty miles away from the Jin people.

On July [-], the Tanma who came out had caught up with the Jin Army and began to strangle with the Jin Army's Tanma.

However, the Jin army also crossed the Shahe River, and the Wudi River was in front of them.

To the despair of the Jin people, the Wudi River in front was already filled with warships of Chen's army. Yue Fei directly pulled his army to the south bank and set up camp to wait for the Jin army to come.

On July [-], the Jin army bravely fought Yue Fei.

Seeing the Jin's infantry rushing towards the musketeer formation in the middle, Yue Fei led his cavalry guards to observe a moment of silence for them on both sides.

Sure enough, amidst the intensive firing of muskets, the Jin Army infantry retreated without even holding on for a quarter of an hour.

The Jin Army cavalry, who were also located on both sides of the Jin Army's formation, saw that their side had failed in the first battle. They could no longer hold back and rushed towards Yue Fei.
