Xiao Hui is also the uncle of the country, and he has made outstanding achievements, and he was thrown in the Great Song Dynasty, that is, a first-class famous general.

Such a person has not been crowned a king in Liao.

Why?

Because he is not as good as Xiao Xiaomu.

Don't look at Xiao Xiaomu's merits on his face are not as good as Xiao Hui, but there is one point, Xiao Hui is not as good as Xiao Xiaomu in this life.

That is, Xiao Xiaomu has never lost a battle since he led the troops.

But Xiao Hui has been beaten, and more than once.

Such a character, even if he is loyal to Zhe, he has to deal with it carefully, how can he be easily dealt with by Zhe Jixuan?

After Zhi Weizhong scolded Zhi Jixuan, he walked out of the mourning hall with a calm face.

As soon as he came out of the mourning hall, he bumped into an old servant.

The old servant looked at Zhi Weizhong with a worried face, and said in a low voice: "Young master, your body is sick, don't go out to run." Xiao Lao'er took someone to Linzhou, and you quickly sent someone to report the war in Linzhou to the imperial court, and waited for the imperial court to send someone to preside over the overall situation. ”

Zhi Weizhong looked at the white-haired old servant and sighed, "Uncle An, you are my grandfather's personal soldier. Accompanied by my grandfather, accompanied by my great uncle, accompanied by my father, and accompanied my brothers, they fought fiercely for decades.

Now that you can finally enjoy your old age in peace, how can I push you to the battlefield again. ”

When the old servant heard this, he muttered: "The old master went, the two young masters also went, and several young masters died in the arms of the little old man, but the little old man did not die." Sometimes the little old man is wondering if the little old man's life is too hard, and he killed the old master, the young master, and several young masters. ”

When Zhe Weizhong's grandfather occupied Fuzhou, he was like a prince.

He was neither king nor emperor, so his subordinates all called him the old master, and his two sons were called the young masters.

Fuzhou returned to the Great Song Dynasty, and the folded family returned to the Great Song Dynasty.

It is naturally inappropriate to call the master again.

Therefore, the subordinates under him called the people of the loyal generation as young masters.

Zhi Weizhong heard the old servant's words, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle An, don't talk nonsense. My grandfather, my uncle, my father, and several of my brothers were all killed in battle, shrouded in horse leather.

This is the fate of my generation of warriors, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

The old servant shook his head, "We old guys, we have experienced countless battles, big and small, and we have survived enough. The young master gave us a chance to follow the old master. ”

As soon as Zhi Weizhong was about to open his mouth to refuse, he saw gray-haired people, wearing armor and holding helmets, appear in front of him.

The old servant turned around and looked at the old brothers behind him, and said in a low voice: "Among them, there are those who have been with your grandfather, some have been with your uncle, some have been with your father, and some have been with you and your brothers.

Their minds are the same as Xiao Lao'er, they all want to make another contribution to the family when they are in danger. ”

Zhi Weizhong was a little moved, he gritted his teeth and said: "I'm still alive, and it's not your turn to go into battle to kill the enemy." ”

The old servant shook his head stubbornly, "We old guys know how your body is. Several young masters are still young and can't afford to carry the banner of the folding family, if you are sick, the folding family will be in danger.

We old fellows should have died a long time ago, and it doesn't make a difference when we die.

But you're different. ”

The old servant's voice landed, and he bowed deeply to Zhi Weizhong, "Please also ask the young master to give us old guys a chance to follow the old master." ”

"Unfortunate!"

Zhi Weizhong decisively refused.

The old servant was about to open his mouth to argue.

Zhi Weizhong said very firmly: "This is a military order!" ”

The old servant opened his mouth and could no longer utter a word.

Those old men, one by one, lowered their heads, held their helmets and disappeared from Zhi Weizhong's sight.

Zhi Weizhong stared at the old servant who had not yet left, and said in a deep voice: "I will send someone to watch you, and I won't give you a chance to mess around." ”

The old servant sighed and lowered his head, his eyes slightly reddened.

Zhi Weizhong stopped talking, strode out of the mourning hall, went to the place where the weapons and armor were stored, put on the battle armor, picked up the blade, ordered two hundred personal soldiers, and hurried to Linzhou on horseback.

The number of the Zhejia army is limited, and they all guard the important passes along the Great Wall, and they cannot easily move.

Zhi Weizhong was confident that he would hold Linzhou with the Baode Army and the defenders of Linzhou, so he did not send any more troops and horses.

Zhi Weizhong traveled all the way to Linzhou.

The Liao soldiers are storming Linzhou.

Zhi Weizhong couldn't rest, caught up with the city, rearranged the soldiers and horses in Linzhou, and sent them to the city wall together to resist the Liao.

When Zhi Weizhong appeared on the battlefield.

Xiao Xiaomu outside Linzhou noticed it.

Xiao Xiaomu straddled the horse, stared at the offensive and defensive battles on Linzhou City, and said faintly: "With the same force, the defensive effectiveness is completely different. In the past, I was only barely able to resist my Great Liao soldiers and horses, but now I can not only resist my Great Liao soldiers and horses, but also counterattack one or two.

It should be Zhe Weizhong. ”

Xiao Xiaomu pondered for a moment or two, and instructed the guards around him: "Pass the order to go down and storm Linzhou City, day and night." Two days later, the army was defeated and retreated. ”

The guards quickly passed Xiao Xiaomu's military order to the army.

After Xiao Xiaomu's generals received the military order, they attacked Linzhou City with all their might, and in the evening, they lit torches, lit the night sky, and continued to attack.

The soldiers and horses in Zhi Weizhong's hands are limited, so there is no way to go out of the city to counterattack, and he can only see the counterattack of the Liao soldiers.

The first war was two days and two nights.

Zhi Weizhong did not rest for two days and two nights, and kept staring at the city.

Xiao Xiaomu has been controlling the fire, and when the fire arrives, he decisively ordered the withdrawal of the army and left the territory of Linzhou with the army.

On the head of the city of Linzhou.

Seeing that the Liao soldiers had retreated, Zhi Weizhong breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly doubted in his heart.

Xiao Xiaomu has always been invincible in battle, and this time it was so easy to retreat, Zhi Weizhong felt very surprised.

A general who won a hundred battles, led 100,000 elite soldiers, bypassed most of the circle, rushed to Linzhou, stormed for two days and two nights, and couldn't defeat Linzhou City, so he retreated without hesitation?

So what is he trying to do?

Is Cuncui idle and panicked, leading the soldiers and horses out to play?

Zhi Weizhong felt that things were far from that simple.

Just when Zhi Weizhong was suspicious and was about to go down the city wall to think about it, he rode a fast horse and rushed into Linzhou City.

Zhi Weizhong got the news and quickly went down the city wall.

The soldiers on horseback saw Zhi Weizhong, and said very quickly: "General, the former deputy inspector of the Liao State Palace, Xiao Bi enemy, at noon the day before yesterday, led 50,000 Liao elite soldiers and 100,000 Liao State town troops, appeared outside Yinzhou, and stormed the Great Wall Pass on the first line of Yinzhou.

Now the generals on Yinzhou Guancheng are barely meeting the enemy, and you need to go over and preside over the overall situation. ”

When Zhi Weizhong heard the news, he stood in place and was stunned for a long time.

After coming back to his senses, he closed his eyes in pain, gritted his teeth and said, "The news of the Liao people is really well-informed. ”

The people around Zhi Weizhong looked at him with stunned expressions, not understanding the meaning of his words.

Zhi Weizhong slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Quickly send someone back to the house and summon Uncle An and others to Yinzhou." Send someone to report the war here to the imperial court for 800 miles.

I wrote a private letter and sent it to Bianjing and to my aunt. ”

After Zhi Weizhong said this, he went up to the city wall without looking back, entered the city gate building, quickly wrote a letter with a pen, put it in an envelope, explained the soldiers who delivered the message, and then took the subordinates, stepped on horseback, and hurried to Yinzhou.

Why did Xiao Xiaomu, the king of Yan of Liao, retreat so easily, and what he was planning, Zhi Weizhong probably guessed it.

Xiao Xiaomu wanted his life.

Xiao Xiaomu probably already knew that he was sick and knew the news of his mother's death, so he arranged it like this, desperately tossing him until he died.

This is a conspiracy.

Even if Zhe Weizhong saw through it, he was helpless.

He is the head of all the soldiers and horses on the line from Linzhou to the Great Wall of Yinzhou.

The Liao invaded the south, and if he was not there, all the soldiers and horses on the line from Linzhou to the Great Wall of Yinzhou would be at a loss.

His father and brother are dead, and his son is young, so there is no one to help him share the pressure, no one to help him sit in the two places.

So he had to go back and forth.

He can die, but he can't lose his territory.

If he didn't show up on the battlefield in time and caused the loss of territory, then even if he survived, he would blame himself for the rest of his life.

The wisdom forged by the blood of two generations of father and brother will be destroyed in his hands.

So even if he knew Xiao Xiaomu's plan, he could only go forward willingly.

On the way to Yinzhou, Zhi Weizhong, who had not rested for several days, bumped on the fast horse for a long time, causing the old injury to recur, fainted, and fell off the horse.

His own soldiers rescued him.

He rejected the offer of his own soldiers to send him back to Fuzhou and rushed to Yinzhou on horseback.

After he arrived in Yinzhou, the war in Yinzhou was the same as that in Linzhou.

Xiao Pidi led the soldiers and horses to storm the Great Wall on the first line of Yinzhou.

Day and night.

He commanded the soldiers and horses of Yinzhou, saw the moves, and dealt with Xiao's rivals.

When the old servants of the Zhefu were summoned to Yinzhou, Xiao Pidi retreated.

It's not that Xiao Pidi knew that the old servants of the Zhefu Mansion had arrived, but that he stormed the Great Wall on the first line of Yinzhou for two days, and the time was up.

When the old servants of the Zhefu Mansion saw Zhi Weizhong again, they were shocked.

The old servant who was called Uncle An by Zhi Weizhong, stared at Zhi Weizhong, whose eyes were bloodshot and his hair had turned a lot whiter, and exclaimed, "Young Master, you are ......"

Zhi Weizhong laughed miserably and said, "I'm probably going to die......"

Uncle An shook his head in horror, "No...... No...... You are the pillar of the folding family, you can't fall, if you fall, the folding family will fall. ”

Zhi Weizhong gritted his teeth, endured the great pain caused by the old injury, and said solemnly to Uncle An: "Uncle An, now is not the time to talk about this. The enemy used a yang scheme, and I had no chance to crack it at all, so I could only follow the enemy's thoughts.

The enemy led 150,000 elite soldiers and two town armies to attack Linzhou and Yinzhou respectively, just to make me exhausted between Linzhou and Yinzhou.

The enemy is trying to kill me.

There's no one in the Northwest right now who can take my place, so I'm definitely going to die. ”

Two lines of tears flowed from Uncle An's eyes, and he shook his head in a panic, "You can't die, you can't die...... Let's stop fighting, let's go home, let's go home. ”

Uncle An stepped forward, pulled Zhi Weizhong's clothes, and was about to take Zhi Weizhong back to the house.

Zhi Weizhong stood in place, motionless, and shouted heavily: "Uncle An, I can't go back." If I go back, Yinzhou and Linzhou will be in danger of being lost.

Once one of the states of Linzhou and Yinzhou is lost.

It is very likely that the enemy will drive straight into Kaifeng.

The imperial court is now fighting against the Liao State in the land of Yanyun.

If the Liao soldiers were in Kaifeng, the imperial court's plan in the land of Yanyun would fall short.

Therefore, Linzhou and Yinzhou cannot be lost.

If Linzhou and Yinzhou are lost, the reputation that I have forged for two generations of my family will be lost.

Hundreds of people in the hinterland of the Central Plains will die tragically under the sword of the Liao.

I, the Great Song Dynasty, was forced by the Liao people to make an alliance under the city.

At that time, the land of Sanzhou that the imperial court seized from the land of Yanyun will have to be returned, and maybe Linzhou, Yinzhou and other places will have to be cut out. ”

Uncle An shed tears and wailed: "Your father and brother both died for the Great Song Dynasty, isn't it enough? Do you want to take your life? If you die, your family will collapse and you will be gone. ”

Zhi Weizhong said in a trembling voice: "The Zhe family can be gone, but Yinzhou and Linzhou can't be lost." If Yinzhou and Linzhou are lost, I will be a sinner of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Uncle An asked in a mournful voice: "Isn't it possible that the merits of the two generations of the Zhe family can't help the Zhe family wash away this sin?" ”

Zhi Weizhong gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle An, the Zhe family is not afraid of betraying the crime, but the Zhe family is afraid of being ashamed of their conscience." ”

"Young Master......"

"Uncle An doesn't need to say much, I have a few things to explain. If what I expected, in a few hours, the news of the resumption of fighting in Linzhou will come over.

I don't know if I can return to Yinzhou alive if I go to Linzhou.

If I repel the Liao soldiers in Linzhou, the Liao soldiers will inevitably continue to fight in Yinzhou.

I can die, but Yinzhou can't be lost.

There aren't many people I can rely on now, so I can only ask you to help me defend Yinzhou.

You are stationed in Yinzhou and give orders on my behalf, you can avoid without fighting, or you can defend at all costs.

In short, the silver state cannot be lost.

When I leave, I will leave you with a suit of armor.

If the Liao soldiers come to attack, you should find someone of my size, wear my armor, and walk around the city wall.

This plan may be able to deceive the Liao soldiers for a while, but it can't be deceived forever.

Therefore, you must carefully watch the movements of the Liao soldiers, once you notice that the Liao soldiers have seen through my plan, then you can avoid the battle, and if you can't avoid it, you will defend it at all costs. ”

"Young Master......"

"Also, I have already written to my aunt and written the plan of the Liao people in the letter. My aunt will definitely go to the official family to explain the matter. The official family will definitely send people to Yinzhou to preside over the overall situation.

Until the people sent by the official family arrive, you must defend Yinzhou. ”

"Young Master......"

"Also, after I die, the Zhejia army can be handed over to Xuan'er, but Xuan'er's temperament is unstable, so you have to assist from the side. Remember to keep an eye on Xuan'er, and wait until Xuan'er is weak, and then go into battle to fight. ”

"Young Master!!"

Uncle An listened to Zhe Weizhong's advice, and he was already in tears.
