    Baode Military City is on the east bank of the Yellow River.  Surrounded by mountains on three sides and a river on the other, it is exactly the strategic location mentioned in military books.  On the west bank of the Yellow River, it is far away from Fugu, the seat of Fuzhou, and is flanked by the river.  It is the core of Zhejia's territory outside the river.  Since the defeat of Kelan's navy, Zhe Ke asked the prisoners to give him hostages and retreated to defend the German army.  Reorganize his subordinates and wait for changes in the situation.  When stationing troops here, there is naturally a choice.  If you go west to Linzhou, you will be bordering the Western Army's territory.  He had just betrayed tens of thousands of his disciples in the Weishui River Valley. If he went to that place now, he would be afraid of something happening with the Western Army.  And the Jurchen army is also crossing the river in a steady stream. To the west of Linzhou, the Jinning army to the east is rushing in all directions, attacking cities and plundering territory.  It made quite a scene.  After their troops were defeated in the battle at Kelan River, Zhe Keqiu no longer wanted to touch a hard target like Jurchen, so it was better to avoid it.  The second thing is that this is also the core territory of the Zhe family. There is abundant food and military supplies, and even war horses have a source of supply.  It is also easy to recruit children to replenish the army.  It was convenient for Zhejia's soldiers outside the river to recover after a heavy defeat.  Sitting in the core territory of Zhejia to observe the changes in the future situation is where Zhe Keqiu makes all his current calculations.  Because of this idea, after Zhe Keqiu led the remnant army back to town to protect the German Army, in addition to using all the military supplies and grain stored by the Baode Army, he also continuously recruited troops and horses from Fuzhou and transferred various military supplies, equipment, grain, and grain here.  Many civilians were also recruited to work quickly to build a defense system around the German military city.  In addition to these military preparations, all powerful people in the prefecture and family, as long as they have some influence, will go to Baode Army City to listen to them.  After the disastrous defeat.  He was imprisoned.  The Zhejia family seemed to have become independent from the Hedong war situation in the Song Dynasty.  It goes without saying that people's hearts are floating.  Zhe Keqiu must grasp all the strength of the Zhe family in his hands to cope with the current situation!  During these days, on Shagujin, big ships on the Yellow River kept coming and going.  The generals, horses, and supplies were transported in boatloads, and there were often some people from the Zhe family with different expressions on the boats, and some of them also rushed to the east bank of the Yellow River with gloomy expressions.  The entire family is now in such an extremely delicate atmosphere.  Between the mountains to the east of Baode Army City.  An official road winds past, which is the Chi Road built in the Qin Dynasty.  After thousands of years of use, the road has sunk deeply, and walking along it feels like walking at the bottom of a ditch.  And in the mountains between the roads, there are ant-like people working hard.  They are all civilians from the three states outside Hewai.  In addition to the Han people, there are also many miscellaneous figures who are also carrying earth and rocks, felling trees and digging trenches.  Several military villages sandwiched between roads have gradually taken shape.  above the road.  There are also patrolling patrols by Zhejia.  The work of rushing to build a military stronghold is very heavy, but the food is not bad.  The meal arrived.  There were fire soldiers meandering over with burdens, steamed cakes in front of the baskets they carried, and pottery urns filled with soup behind them.  If you get closer, you can still smell the aroma of meat emanating from the pottery urn, which seems to be broth.  Following the orders of the officers and soldiers of the supervisory army, these dusty civilians came to the front of the burdens in groups, each with four pieces of cooking cakes and a bowl of broth.  They each held it carefully, found a place to sit down and started eating.  There was a sweet swallowing sound from all around.  It rained heavily some time ago, and the ground was still a little muddy, but since we had something to eat, no one cared about sitting in the mud.  The war broke out suddenly in Hedong, and everyone saw the miserable situation of the refugees who fled.  Not to mention those who have not yet escaped and fell into the hands of the Jurchen Tatars.  Although everyone is working harder now that they have been sent by the army, at least they can still have a stable meal, and they are still being protected by the family soldiers. What else can be said?  "I hope God can protect me, and I hope that the head of the family will be safe and live a long life, and that Yongzhen will protect the hundreds of thousands of lives outside the river!"  The common people had no complaints, and the conscripted bastards just wanted to eat and have nothing to do with anything.  But for the Zhejia soldiers, the atmosphere was a bit strange.  These days, the atmosphere among the soldiers and generals supervising the construction work here is very strange.  Not only did they barely speak to each other, but the generals looked at each other with gloomy expressions.  Even if they say something to each other, it only involves business matters.  For other things, I often stop talking if I want to.  And troops and horses were stationed here frequently.  Often within two or three days, they were replaced by troops and horses that were constantly coming out from the Baode Army.  It seems that the person in the upper position is on guard against something.  The Zhe family¡¯s army and horses have always been known as the disciple soldiers.  In the past, as long as it was not the occasion of marching or fighting, during the garrison season, it would be very lively during meal time. There were not many class distinctions between the soldiers and officers, and they would often gather together to eat and laugh.  With a harmonious appearance from top to bottom, the children of the Zhe family are often proud of the cohesion in the military.  ? ?But now it's meal time, but the soldiers and generals have returned to their generals, and everyone is eating and drinking in one place.  In addition to the sound of chewing, there was the sound of Sili snoring and drinking soup.  Other sounds are not very audible.  On the other hand, among the people, there was still talk and laughter from time to time.  This look is really weird.  A young general, only twenty-four or five years old, with a handsome pretty face.  He is seven feet five inches tall, has arms and waist and looks extremely agile.  I was silently looking for a place to eat at home. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Although he is not someone who grew up in the northwest, and he is handsome, he seems to be a son of Bianliang's noble family.  The appetite seemed to be quite large. I found a branch and ate through twelve steamed cakes in one go.  Place a jar of broth.  After sitting down, he stacked four steamed cakes, took out a box of sauce from his arms and poured some sauce in the middle.  The four steamed cakes were already eaten in a flash, without any crumbs falling off.  The little white-faced general had just gained some grounding, and reached out to take out four more.  Then I heard someone calling in a low voice: "Uncle Thirty-nine!" The pretty boy looked back and saw a general in his forties standing behind him, with a full beard on his face.  A black face.  The clothes and armor were covered with soot and mud spots.  He was saluting him.  The pretty boy looked around.  He waved to him to sit down: "How did you come here?" The pretty boy's name is Zhen Lun, and he is the 39th in the tenth generation of the Zhe family.  And this forty-year-old military general was called Zhe Zhirou, but he was the eleventh generation member of the Zhe family.  Although he is more than ten years older, it can be seen that Zhen Lun still has to call him uncle.  Zhe Zhirou sat down next to Zhen Lun and snorted: "We crossed the river from Shagujin and hurried to Baode Army City. The head of the family called the eighth master, twenty-second uncle, and twenty-fifth uncle into the city.  . Just send me to lead the army here to defend How can the Zhe family use soldiers like this? From generation to generation, who doesn't care about the children?  The sergeants gathered together at the first command, and the families in Fuzhou were not yet settled. They hurriedly crossed the river and were driven here without entering the city. I have never seen the Zhe family use soldiers like this since I was a child!  Looking at his careless temperament, and not caring about the strange looks from the soldiers not far away, he casually made this long list of complaints.  Zhen Lun was while he was speaking.  Four more steamed cakes went down his throat, and he became more determined with food in his stomach.  Slowly take down the last four steamed cakes.  Then he glanced at Zhe Zhirou: "What kind of hard work are you doing? It rained heavily a few days ago. We crossed the river, why don't we have to come here in the rain? Now is not the time to complain, just be more practical."  Zhirou snorted: "I'm afraid of a bird? Isn't it just a disastrous defeat? The head of the family took six thousand children on an expedition, but less than half came back. When the news came, there was a cry in Fuzhou. The people who died in the Zhe family for more than a hundred years are still  Less? This battle has destroyed the family master¡¯s spirit? Why is this a mere defeat?¡± He spoke impassionedly while squinting at Zhen Lun.  This seemingly rough and arrogant man is actually a little careful, trying to see if he can draw out a few words from Zhen Lun.  You must know that this thirty-ninth uncle is the grandson of Zhe Jichang and the son of Zhe Kexi.  Born in the direct line of the original branch of the Ori family!  He is also young and brave, with a long-handled iron sword and is known as the best among the young people of the Zhe family. He is also a super-eating person. When he eats seven points, he has seven points of ability, and when he eats to twelve points, he has twelve points of ability!  Although his father died young, he was very favored among his elders.  This time, because his superiors felt that his army was too weak, he forced Zhen Lun to stay in Fuzhou.  Unexpectedly, we bumped into the Baode Army in the western mountains.  In terms of being well-informed and knowing the inside story, how could he, a disciple from a neighboring country, compare to this thirty-ninth uncle?  Zhen Lun glanced at the evil-minded nephew and said nothing.  I grabbed the steamed cake and stuffed it into my mouth, and then disappeared without a trace.  Finally, he drank the broth in one gulp without spilling any liquid.  Then he stood up and patted his butt.  "It's enough to be half full. Go find a place to relax for a while You can also find something to eat. You can get hurt or die, but don't let yourself go hungry!" Zhe Zhirou couldn't help it and grabbed Zhen Lun.  Pant legs, voice lowered.  "Uncle Thirty-Nine, can you just tell the truth? Suddenly the head of the family sent troops to Fugu, and all the seniors' residences were filled up at once, and then they were all sent to the Baode Army! Then he let  We set off one by one, the more senior generals entered Baode Army City, and the other troops were sent out under the leadership of juniors like us. Isn¡¯t this weird? "  He swallowed, and his black face turned a little pale.  His lowered voice also became shaky.  "I heard that the head of the family abandoned the Yanyan Army in the Weishui River Valley, and took the initiative to retreat by the Kelan River, which was why so many of his disciples were killed. Then he killed the twenty-sixth uncle and imprisoned the deputy envoy to comfort him.  .Uncle Thirty-nine, do you think this is true????  Uncle Thirty-nine, I only need one word from you!  "Zhen Lun just looked into the distance, his little white face as tense as iron. After a long time, Zhen Lun said softly. "If it is to destroy the whole family and consolidate power, even if these things are true, I will not  I just pinched my nose and admitted But if the head of the family had other ideas.  He thought about attacking his brothers again, or even joining a foreign race.  By then I will also have a big iron knife in my hand!  Zhe Zhirou let go of his hand and looked thoughtful.  Just when both of them fell silent, they saw a few streaks of smoke and dust rising from the west. It was the sentry cavalry sent east to return!  And in the western sky, twenty or thirty miles behind these sentinels, thicker smoke and dust were seen rising. It was obvious that a military horse was coming here!  Zhe Zhirou stood up suddenly and shouted: "Well done! If they are Jurchen Tatars, they can have a good fight to get rid of the birdiness in their chests!"
