Bai Shijie sent various generals to pretend to be caravans yesterday, drove the cart to the bottleneck in the middle of the Yiyuan Plain, pretended to rest, and stayed on standby, but waited in vain for a day.

Early this morning, these people were sent out again.

After receiving Bai Shijie's fast horse message, the five generals immediately removed their armor and blades from the cart, armed them on the spot, and put the cart across the road, cutting off the road.

Although the road was cut off, there was no special feeling on the side of the East Zhuangzi, because the caravans from the west were still entering the Zhuangzi.

It's just that no one noticed that these new caravans were all the caravans of Bai, Tang, Li, and Xu belonging to Xizhuangzi and Tangjiazhuang, and there were no foreign caravans.

No one noticed that the new caravan was not very dusty, and it did not look like it had traveled a long way.

At the same time that Bai Shijie ordered the road to be cut off, a large army entered the Yiyuan Plain, this army was about 25,600 people, a group of 7800 infantry led the way for the vanguard, a cavalry of more than 1,000 people marched in the center, and another infantry of 7,800 people was defending in the rear.

This army is naturally the official army invited by Bai Shijie from Dongping Mansion.

Outside Tangjiazhuang, on the road that the army must pass, more than a dozen ox carts were parked on the side of the road, and the carts were loaded with supplies from the labor army, but there was no one on the side of the cart.

Not far away, Tangjiazhuang closed its doors, and there were many shadows on the city wall, and it turned out to be a posture of full vigilance.

Although this army was invited by himself, no one dared to be careless, if one of these eight Qiu masters was unhappy and wanted to wash the Zhuangzi, who would you talk to?

Fortunately, the army did not stop when it passed by, but simply took the ox cart with them.

The army walked forward a little further, and came to a halt not far from the thin waist in the middle of the Yiyuan Plain.

The army leveled a wheat field and planted a pot in the field to make rice.

Although he took the pier platform in front of Dongzhuangzi, Chen Xian still has a pier platform on the mountain peak behind Dongzhuangzi, and he can also monitor the eastern plain of Yiyuan, but the distance is relatively far away, and he can't monitor the small caravan, but if a large army enters, it can't be hidden.

When Bai Shijie heard that the army was coming, he immediately took his own foreign cavalry, drove more than a dozen carts, pulled grain, wine and meat, and went to meet Yan Pingtao.

It is difficult for anyone who has seen Yan Pingtao for the first time to associate him with the Jurchen general.

In this life, his eyebrows are clear and his demeanor is gentle and elegant, and he is more like a scholar of the Song Kingdom.

Even in the army, Wanyan Pingtao did not wear a military uniform, but wore a strong suit that the nobles of the Jin Kingdom often wore when hunting.

Dressed in a black suit, with a bright red cloak, and with this person's handsome and fair face, it actually gives people a bewitching feeling.

But Bai Shijie will not underestimate this person because of this.

Although Bai Shijie is a scholar, he is not unfamiliar with martial arts, and the officials of the Jin State often do not distinguish between civil and military affairs, and often have to work part-time as the local town army festival envoy, and once they encounter a war, they must lead the troops to fight.

Therefore, Bai Shijie has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and after becoming an official, he also held an official position in Junzhou Jiezhen, not only is he no stranger to military affairs, but he is even an expert.

When he received a request for help from his family and thought of asking for the garrison of Fucheng, Bai Shijie investigated the Tianping Army stationed in Dongping Fucheng.

The regular army of the Jin Dynasty was divided into two kinds, one was the Beijing division stationed in Beijing, which belonged to the palace inspection department of the emperor's guards, and the Beijing army under the jurisdiction of the pro-military division of the guards, and the other was the town defense army stationed in various places.

The Tianping Army is the town defense army stationed in Dongping Fucheng.

Many of the rules and regulations of the Jin Dynasty liked to learn from the Song Dynasty, and each independent army had its own name, such as the Weijie Army stationed in the Beijing Division, the Shengjie Army, the Jianxiong Army stationed in the local area, the Zhenhai Navy, and so on.

The prefectural governor of the town defense army is the jiedu envoy, and the governor of the town defense army at the state level is the history of defense.

There is also a road above the state capital, and the road has a general manager of soldiers and horses, and has jurisdiction over the towns and armies under the state capital.

Generally speaking, the governor of the soldiers and horses along the road is concurrently served by the capital of the road, Yin, and the governor of the soldiers and horses is also the envoy of the town's defense army.

Therefore, Yin Wanyan Chengzong of Dongping Mansion concurrently served as the head of the soldiers and horses of the East and West Roads of Shandong, and concurrently served as the envoy of the Tianping Army, which was not a special case, but a practice in the Jin State.

Of course, there are also government officials who do not concurrently serve as the governor of the military and horse capital, and it is generally believed that this kind of government is a second-class government yin.

The Commander's Mansion is divided into upper, middle and lower levels, and the Shanxi Road is the Superior Governor's Office, and the Tianping Army under its direct jurisdiction is naturally the Superior Jiezhen, which has 30 Meng'an under its jurisdiction.

Before Bai Shijie was transferred to Tai'an Prefecture, he had been a petty official in Dongping Fucheng for many years.

When he arrived in Fucheng, he inquired in many ways, made friends with the officers in the Tianping Army, and found an opportunity to enter the Tianping Army barracks to watch the army.

Whether it is heard or seen, this horse army under the jurisdiction of Wanyan Pingtao is a first-class strong army in the Tianping Army.

Other generals, especially the Jurchen generals, mostly coped with errands.

This is the only general who has been immersed in the military village all day long, practicing all day long, which makes his officers and soldiers complain.

But this Wanyan Pingtao has one advantage, that is, he does not deduct military salaries, plus his father is a festival envoy, and others dare not deduct his military salary, so his officers and soldiers, even the most ordinary soldiers, can get more than half of the positive military salary, which is more than twice as strong as other Meng'an.

Therefore, although the officers and soldiers under Wanyan Pingtao complained bitterly, they also gritted their teeth and endured it.

Although in Bai Shijie's view, Wanyan Pingtao's army still has many shortcomings, and it is not a first-class strong army, but in the Tianping Army, it is already standing out from the crowd.

Although the march was outside, Wanyan Pingtao's military tent was quite comfortable.

The tent is wide, almost ten steps square, the original wheat field under the feet is leveled, compacted, covered with felt, there is a big charcoal basin in the center of the tent, the red charcoal fire exudes a rolling heat wave, so that the tent is warm like spring.

Wanyan Pingtao was facing the door of the tent, kneeling on a low couch, with a long table in front of him.

He sat straight and straight, his handsome face was meticulous, watching Bai Shijie walk into the handsome tent, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please to the side of the case.

Waiting for Bai Shijie to sit down, Wanyan Pingtao asked, "Everything is going well?" ”

Bai Shijie arched his hand and said: "Fortunately, I have already taken the sentry post, and I have not alarmed the other party, I just need to act according to the plan tonight." ”

Wanyan Pingtao nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

Wan Yan Pingtao paused and asked, "My previous proposal, I don't know what Bai Tuiguan considered?" ”

Bai Shijie spent a great price in order to persuade Wanyan Chengzong and his subordinate Wanhu, that is, Temu Bo Jilie, and the other two Meng An Bo Jilie to agree to send troops; On the contrary, it is very easy to convince this Wanyan Pingtao.

Wanyan Pingtao just listened to Bai Shijie's plan, and then looked at the three-eyed fire gun he offered, so he agreed to send troops to quell the rebellion.

After agreeing, Wanyan Pingtao made a request to Bai Shijie, he wanted to ask Bai Shijie to be his military advisor.
