Nianmur suddenly remembered that when he was blocking the Song army reinforcements on the north bank of the Fen River, this Ali Banche was one of his soldiers and he had saved his life at that time.

Nianmur smiled and loosened his grip on the knife. "Ali Banche, I never thought you'd become the commander of Pingzhou. You've been promoted so quickly."

Ali Banche bowed respectfully and said, "That day, we blocked the Song army on the northern line of the Fen River. If it weren't for the general who deflected the arrow from the Song army archer, I would have lost my life. I thank you, general!"

Nhamu laughed and said, "These are trivial matters, not worth mentioning."

"General, I heard that the Mongols have invaded Shangjing?" asked Ali Banche.

"Well, this is it." Nhamul.

Ali Banche was a little skeptical: "We have 100,000 troops stationed on the Mongolian border, how could they be forced into Shangjing?"

It's easy to fool other people, but it's not so easy to fool Ali Shuttle Bus.

Nianmur thought for a moment and said, "How could the Mongols enter Shangjing so easily? It's because of spies. Wanyan Quanshi in the north is secretly communicating with the Mongols, colluding with them to seize power and usurp the throne."

Ali Banche was shocked. Nianmur's words were too frightening. Wanyan Quanshi was the commander-in-chief of the Jin-Mongol border. If he surrendered to the Mongols, the Jin Dynasty would be in danger.

If anyone else had said this, Ali Banche would not have believed it. But Nianmur was the vanguard commander of the Western Route Army and Ali Banche's immediate superior, so he believed his words without a doubt.

Ali Shuttle was shocked: "What should we do?"

"No problem, as long as I go to the Song Dynasty to borrow troops, I can defeat the rebels."

Ali Banche was a little confused: "Going to the Song Dynasty to borrow troops? Will they be willing to help the Great Jin?"

"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. If Mongolia swallows up our Great Jin, its strength will undoubtedly increase greatly, and the Southern Dynasty will suffer. Do you think the Great Song will sit idly by?"

Ali Banche nodded and said, "General, you are indeed wise and insightful. I am so ignorant and inexperienced. I admire you!"

Nianmur was determined to drive these people away, so he said: "You all go, I will go to the Song Dynasty alone."

Ali Banche bowed and said, "The Song people are cunning. If you go alone, you might suffer a loss. I am willing to accompany you."

"No need. I'm going there to borrow troops, not to fight. The Song people won't do anything to me."

Unexpectedly, Ali was very stubborn and insisted on going with Nianmur. Nianmur had no choice but to agree.

Ali asked Nianmur to return to Pingzhou to command the camp so that they could go to Ruzhou together early the next morning. Nianmur had no choice but to follow him to the Pingzhou camp.

That night, Ali Banche hosted a banquet to welcome Nhamur. Nhamur returned drunk and was helped by his soldiers to his tent to rest.

At midnight, Nhamu quietly walked out of the tent and tiptoed to the stable where the guard at the gate was taking a nap.

Nhamu gently untied a horse from the stable and led it out. The horse was panting and kicking its hooves. Nhamu was even more careful, fearing that the horse's neighing would wake the guards.

Seeing that no one was around, Nianmur only needed to mount his horse and rush out of the camp. At this moment, a voice sounded behind him: "General, what are you doing?"

When Nianmur looked back, he was shocked. He found that Ali Banche had stood behind him with several soldiers.

Had he been exposed? Nianmur could not help but touch the hilt of his sword again. As long as Ali Banche ordered him to be arrested, he would immediately draw his sword and fight back.

Unexpectedly, Ali Banche suddenly knelt down and said, "General, I know you don't want your soldiers to follow you to the Song Dynasty and take risks. You saved my life, how could I bear to see you go to the Song camp alone? Wouldn't that make the Song people bully us, the Jin Dynasty, which has no one left!"

Damn it, why are you loyal to me at this time when you can be loyal any other time? Nianmur cursed in his heart, but said calmly: "I originally wanted to go to the Song army alone to discuss an alliance to attack Mongolia. Since you are so loyal, you can bring your people and follow me tomorrow."

Ali was overjoyed and knelt down, clasping his hands and saying, "Thank you, General!"

At dawn the next day, Ali Banche had already gathered his troops and headed for Ruzhou with Nianmur.

The guards of the Great Jin Palace finally arrived at the Pingzhou Post Station early in the morning. The palace commander asked, "Has General Nianmur been here?"

The postman hurriedly reported yesterday's events to the palace guards. The commander was shocked when he heard it: "Go and command the camp immediately!"

There were about two thousand troops stationed in Pingzhou. Ali Banche ordered his deputy general to stay there, and he personally led five hundred people with Nianmur to the Ruzhou City of the Song Dynasty.

Ruzhou was where Yue Fei stationed his troops, and the commander was Liang Zifan, who was the former deputy commander of the Yuanshuo Army.

Just when Nianmur and his group arrived at Baihu Valley, more than ten miles away from Ruzhou City, the palace guards had already caught up with them.

"Commander Ali, there are pursuers behind us, and they seem to be from the Palace Front Department!" the soldier reported.

Nianmur was startled and turned around to see that it was the guard in front of the palace.

Just as Ali was about to ask what was going on, Nianmur waved his hand and said, "Prepare for battle!"

Ali Banche asked in surprise, "General, why is this happening?"

Nianmur pointed at the palace guards in the distance and said, "These palace guards are also Wanyan Quanshi's accomplices. They want to stop us from returning to the Song Dynasty. They are all traitors. We must not let them get close."

Ali Banche drew his sword and shouted, "Defense!"

The Pingzhou soldiers quickly formed a battle formation. The palace guard commander was shocked when he saw this. He wondered if the Pingzhou soldiers were also going to rebel. He didn't dare to move forward and just watched from a distance.

The commander of the palace shouted from afar: "Ali Banche! I am Adena, the commander of the palace. Nianmur has betrayed his country and I have come to capture him on the orders of His Majesty!"
