The pirate army that rushed to Xihe Road, the last stop of the Northwest Army, was personally led by Xiao Jiasui, chief of the General Staff, and the process of coming can be described as a day and night, in order to strengthen the avalanche effect, and the Xihe Army was caught off guard, and it was successfully successful.

Liu Zhengyan, the son of Liu Fa, the former commander of the Xihe Army, did not know that Liu Anshi, the second son of Liu Yanqing, the co-defendant who slaughtered Miaojia Village, had been liquidated, and that the Yanyan Road and Xihe Road were not close to each other in the north and in the south.

This kid is as naïve as the military coup in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty to kidnap the emperor Zhao and try to fight for a high position in military power, and he is still excitedly and shrewdly thinking about how to use his influence in the Xihe army to make great contributions to the pirates, overwhelm other generals, and then get ahead, and he can restore the glory that his Liu family once had.

At that time, his father Liu Fa and the king of the Western Xia Jin Dynasty had a bloody battle, and he wanted to rely on the accumulation of the cavalry strength that could finally restrain the Western Xia cavalry, plus the already powerful infantry formation, and teach Chage and the Xia army a good lesson, but the unexpected fiasco caused the 100,000 army to be wiped out, and his father was also killed on the spot.

It is said that since he has lost the protection of his father's towering tree, Liu Zhengyan's good days in Xihe Road have come to an end.

Although those generals who have old friendships with the Liu family, such as the general Jiao Anjie's family, still take more care of him for Liu Fa's sake, but that's another matter. The essence of this kind of care is sympathy and pity, not the awe and holding in the past.

It was the Yao family that really lived a majestic life and replaced his proud position.

This is inevitable, especially in officialdom that only values interests and is indifferent to friendship.

The righteous spirit of the military personnel can never withstand the pressure of survival under the new situation of secular and extremely realistic situations.

The Liu family is no longer the authoritative commander of the Xihe army, and the Yao family is the master of reality.

There is a new master who is not going all out but continues to follow the old master, it is purely uncomfortable, it is a blessing not to be rectified by the new master, and you still want to have a good life?

Moreover, Liu Zhengyan himself is not an outstanding person, he does not have the ability to lead the Liu family to mix up with Liu Fa's meritorious limelight, and he is a gentleman, relying on the residual influence and network of his father to continue to live a good life on Xihe Road, but he himself has not counted, he always feels smart and capable, he can't measure his own weight, and he is not willing to let go of the past scenery and majesty, he is still the boss mentality, ambitious, low-capable, self-sufficient, afraid that sooner or later he will cause a big disaster, so who wants to be really good to him.

The most majestic and decent Yanei who lives in Xihe Road is Yao Pingzhong, who is superior in force and has real skills, and the Yao family is powerful, Yao Pingzhong is naturally the new boss of the Yanei sought after by everyone. Life must be full of joy. If you are powerful, your luck is booming, and you are not arrogant, how can you be?

Liu Zhengyan is not stupid, he also knows that feng shui takes turns, and he went to Yao's house instead of his house this year, and he also knows that he respects Yao Pingzhong's face, and he has to let him go, but he is naturally very disdainful in his heart, and he is very angry when he looks at Yao Pingzhong's scenery, and he tries to avoid it if he can avoid it on weekdays, lest he, the former chief officer, have to bow his head in public and lose face.

Yao Pingzhong, who is majestic, can also find Liu Zhengyan's unconvinced mentality in his triumph, so he naturally has to use some means to teach Liu Zhengyan a lesson: You kid has a bright spot, see clearly, now my Yao family is the master, your Liu family is in the past, and I, Yao Pingzhong, am a true hero and a strong man, and I can crush you by myself...... Do you dare to be honest and bow your head to be a small ......

Contradictions arise.

Liu Zhengyan couldn't get anyone to play anything, and was deliberately provoked by Yao Pingzhong to show his strength and status, and forced him to fight in public in the name of martial arts competition, but he was beaten so embarrassed that he couldn't come to the stage, and he was coaxed and ridiculed by people who tended to be inflammatory...... Those Yanai used to be his younger brothers. This hatred, loss, and unwillingness are even stronger......

Speaking of which, it is the young and vigorous love of face between the young and the young, and there is some friction in the limelight, and it is a dispute between the pro-old forces between the children, which is a very common secular heart, but in the Xihe Army, this does have unusual political significance, so that the Jiangmen, who has a good relationship with the Liu family, understands better: The reality is that the Yao family is powerful and the master of the house, and they have to keep up with the situation and turn to loyally support and serve the new Yao family.......

The old is estranged, and from time to time he has to be reminded and disciplined by the old generals of Jiao'an Festival, Liu Zhengyan is even more frustrated and resentful, and at this moment when the pirates swept in and suddenly came to the moment of change, Liu Zhengyan inevitably gloated, thinking: Your Yao family is not proud. The new lord and new forces have crushed and replaced your Yao family..... I, Liu Zhengyan, have the means and opportunity to regain power and take revenge....... Yao Pingzhong, see how I can use the strength of pirates to teach you a lesson, if I don't kill you, how can I get rid of my hatred and get back face?

However, wishful thinking will only end up ridiculously and pathetic.

Liu Zhengyan had long forgotten the crimes of domineering, murderous, and arrogant destruction of the innocent Miaojia Village.

The mountains and wilderness are so remote that almost no one knows about a group of lowly wild villagers, and when they die, they will be over. How else? How could it threaten his life and death Liu Zhengyan.

But I don't know that this matter is not over. The lowly grass people are able to take the lives of the powerful and noble.

The children of the Miao family, who came specifically to seek revenge, the second general of the dragon and tiger came with a murderous machine full of hatred, and the first time he entered the city, he rushed to the door to arrest Liu Zhengyan......

There is no need to say how Liu Zhengyan was tortured and died tragically.

Whether he regretted it or not, whether he repented before he died, this also became irrelevant as the lights went out as people died. No one cares about this great change.

Because Liu Zhengyan's wishful thinking failed, the Yao family, whose wishful thinking was bigger and farther, and Jiao Anjie, the head general of the Xihe Military Department, were also disappointed......

It's not uncommon for pirates to take in the talents of generals like them.......

However, it seems that the pirates did not leave them with a little thought: the upright and good children, girls, innocent women and children in their families...... Taken away by pirates to settle overseas ......

Yao Gu, Yao Pingzhong's father and son, Jiao Anjie and others really couldn't understand why the pirates rejected them and why they took care of their families...... Even Liu Zhengyan, who was so miserable that even the soldiers who were accustomed to bloody and cruel scenes felt infiltrated and feared, and some relatives in his family could still be cared for by pirates......

The pirates are so bitter. They are tolerant and generous to those who are useless, and they are righteous and clear........ Why did they ignore such a useful and useful general.......

They naturally couldn't imagine that the pirates who rescued the Liu family were innocent, and they would be helpless and difficult to survive in Xihe Road after the great changes in the future, because Liu Fa had worked hard to be loyal to the Song Dynasty all his life, but he also defended the property, life and dignity of the Han nation and the people, and these people were either women and children, and sooner or later they would remarry others and transfer to a new identity and new life, or they had character but had no ability to be ordinary people, and would not form a new intertwined warlord in the pirate empire, not a threat.

The Xi, He, Tao, Min and Tongyuan armies in the Xihe Road area were also looted, and the population should have moved away, and those who should have gathered and driven to Xizhou City were all beaten and forced to converge and forcibly gathered...... Like other Western military departments, a large amount of food, weapons, and other heavy items that were inconvenient to transport by land were transported by large river boats......

The Western Army itself has many ships, and there is no special naval force such as pirates, but there are warships and soldiers who know how to ship and operate ships at any time...... There are also many big rivers in the northwest, such as Xiqi Road, which has the Daxia River, Tao River, Wei River, West Han River, Bailong River, Zuli River, Huangshui and the upper reaches of the Yellow River. There are also plenty of large and small boats available in the homes around these rivers. Even if the big river goes east, even if it cannot be connected to the sea, it can be transported for a long distance and then transferred...... Many of the food, salt, weapons, etc., supplied by the imperial court to the Western Army, also relied on the Grand Canal, and many rivers were shipped from Tokyo to the northwest. The Western army smuggled from the sea, and also used a large amount of water transportation.

In addition, places like Qinfeng Road and Xihe Road are in Gansu, close to Sichuan and the Yangtze River. Pirate-powered ships are more powerful in diverting all that is plundered......

General of Xihe Road, the son of Wang Shao, a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Xiao Jiasui and Wang Hou had a cordial conversation.

According to Zhao Yue's prior instructions, Xiao Jiasui originally wanted Wang Hou to leave the northwest this time and be able to serve in the overseas army, but Wang Hou refused, saying that he was old, and his ability to accept new things was too limited, so it was better to use the advantage of being familiar with this place to continue to stay here and give full play to the effective residual heat......

"If you are not blessed enough, you can't go to the overseas empire in your lifetime to really feel the new country and live a new life, and die on this land, it will be worth it. The Northwest is my hometown. The blood flows here, and it is also a comfort that the dead can be buried in the hometown....... I have made up my mind, and General Xiao does not need to persuade me again. ”

Xiao Jiasui understands in his heart: Wang Hou's decision is essentially the same mind as the Tao, and he will endure more hardships and make some contributions in his lifetime, and accumulate more blessings for his children and grandchildren.

The successor of the breeder is incompetent. Wang Houjia is also facing such embarrassment.

Alas! The family complex of the Chinese nation is deep in the bones. Responsible, capable, and responsible old people will always choose to sacrifice further for their families at such times.

Wang Hou had great merit in opening the border of the Xihe River, and had rich experience and insight in dealing with the barbaric and ignorant Tibetan tribes close to the Xihe Road, since he still wanted to stay here and continue to serve as the Song army like those abandoned generals, then he could not participate in the sweep and sweep of the Tibetan tribes, but he could provide many of the most useful staff advice......

Xiao Jiasui and several accompanying staff officers humbly asked Wang Hou how to quickly conquer the Tibetan barbarians and effectively control the willingness of his troops to relocate, discussed the plan in detail, and tried to be as careful as possible in tactics, so that the battle would be as successful as a storm, and on the other hand, if you did not pay attention to Yang Zheng, a young man who was newly collected on Xihe Road and specially brought with him.

This young man was specially telegraphed by Zhao Yue to inform Xiao Jiasui that he must be taken in and taken care of, he is still too young, still childish, lively and naughty....... Very clever and supposed to be smart, but it doesn't feel like there's anything special or out of the ordinary. But Xiao Jiasui knew Zhao Laoer's magical ability too well, and he didn't dare to ignore it in the slightest.

Zhao Yue naturally wouldn't say that he was a person who could look at history through time, and he wouldn't tell Xiao Jiasui that Yang Zheng, who was still a child, was one of the three marshals of the Southern Song Dynasty, Sichuan, and Shaanxi defense lines in history, and was definitely one of the models of young generals.

Yang Zheng naturally didn't understand why he was so valued and treated so special by the incredibly powerful pirate army's absolute high-level generals.

He is just a child, and his family background is not outstanding, anyway, among the many generals or famous generals here on Xihe Road, his family must be ordinary.

Zhao Yue attaches great importance to the present and focuses more on the future.

A country must have the potential for sustainable development in all aspects, and it must start with the talent reserve as early as possible, and it cannot be like the previous dynasties to double the star-studded talents in the early days of the founding of the country, and then this group of talents will die and become old and unusable, and there will be a shortage of talents or even no successors, so that the country will lose the high-spirited momentum and power of the founding of the country and turn into sluggish and incompetent...... Then there is decay and degeneration, becoming more and more incompetent from generation to generation, and then entering a new round of dynastic change, and the hard-earned wealth and the destruction of civilization are disconnected......

Zhao Yue attaches the most importance to the most fundamental scientific and technological development and personnel training of a strong country, followed by military talents.

National sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the interests of all people....... The army can resist the enemy from the outside, prevent the enemy from invading the country and ignite the flames of war at home, and ensure the environment for peace, unity, and stable development in the country, so that the country can continue to develop smoothly and people live happily and proudly...... No matter how rich and prosperous a big country like the Song Dynasty was, which despised soldiers and lacked legs, it was only short-lived, and the richer it was, the more it was just meat saved for other countries.

History, especially the profound lessons that are just around the corner, cannot but be taken seriously.

Throughout history, Zhao Yue can predict from history which people have special abilities that need to be excavated and cultivated in advance, so why not make full use of this advantage?

He doesn't care that others see him as weird and weird, or even human.

Since he is already eccentric and inhuman in the eyes of the world, and since he has already done it, as long as it is conducive to the rapid development of the Chinese nation, he must continue to do it with all his might.

With his current status and strength, he really doesn't need to care what others think of him.

Surprised, strange, amazed and admired by faith....... Or do you regard him as a wicked, terrible and evil..... It doesn't matter. None of them can threaten him, and they can't shake his strong survival.

................

A few days later, Xiao Jiasui integrated the more than 90,000 troops of Xihe Road, selected and led the young and strong soldiers among them, and the cavalry army totaled about 80,000 people, with more than 50,000 people from the headquarters he led and other pirate soldiers who rushed to reinforce from Jingyuan Qinfeng 2nd Road, and cooperated with the Xihe army who was familiar with Tubo, divided the troops into several roads, launched a lightning raid again, and began a rapid attack on the Tubo tribes......
