The general who was called Yao Xiaotai by Qin's commander was naturally Yao Pingzhong, who was ordered to lead six battalions of soldiers and horses to Hedong to help Xiao Tang act.

Yao Pingzhong's parents died early when he was a child, and he was adopted by his uncle Yao Gu, and the Yao family has made many military exploits as a general in the Western Army since the last two generations of Yao Bao and the "second Yao of Guanzhong" Yao Lin. And Yao Pingzhong's grandfather, the famous general Yao Ji during the Song Dynasty Shenzong was even more brave and strategic, he did Jianxiong, Dingwu Army Festival and inspection of Situ and other important positions during his lifetime, and after his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi.

Yao Ji loves to study the art of war, until he is old, and then often supervises and inspects the strategy of the descendants of the army, he has also experienced the battle formation several times, and is good at shooting the enemy with a bow horse and a strong bow and crossbow in the war.

And now Yao Pingzhong's uncle in the generation of Yao Xiong, Yao Gu is also a famous general in the Western Army, Yao Pingzhong also had a bloody battle with the Xia Army in the Zangdi River a few years ago, and personally killed dozens of people to make great contributions, because Yao Pingzhong is also famous in the Western Army, and is praised as a "little captain" in the ranks, and now he can also teach those unruly soldiers under his command to respect themselves.

As a descendant of the generals, Yao Pingzhong's temperament is still more urban, he looked at the Qin commander, and said lightly: "I am just a soldier, the rights and wrongs of the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and there is a bird to chew the root of the tongue behind his back?" No matter whether that Xiao Tang is good or bad, after all, he still has to be restrained by him now, and when you kid speaks nonsense, you must also show the highlights, and you must know that the disaster comes from the mouth. ”

Commander Na Qin smiled when he heard this, and said: "Wei Jiang must not be a hunch who does not know how to advance and retreat, and it is impossible to scold him in front of Xiao Tang." But the little captain, this is not like what he said, the eunuch at that time was pretending, and he refused to sell his face. Since we didn't even look at the appearance of Lao Shizi, Xiao Tang's wife is just a post-born boy at his age, and he has made a fortune by catering to the official family, so what's so great about it? ”

Yao Pingzhong smiled slightly, but did not speak. He had also heard that Xiao Tang had seen Xiao Tang when he was on a business trip to Bianjing, and he seemed to have a very good evaluation of him, as well as the descendants of the military generals who were attached to Qin Fenglu in the Zhe family and the Qu family, and he also said that the world called Xiao Tang what kind of Ren Xia, but it was also worthy of his reputation.

However, as the most prominent and powerful generals in the Western Army, the relationship between the Yao family and the breed family is very delicate.

Yao Pingzhong also knew that there was an undercurrent in the Western Army now, and among the generals with relatively high status in the army, Liu Yanqing, Wang Yuan and others were obviously inclined to be attached to Tong Guan at the moment; And Liu Fa, Yang Keshi and others are still the most prestigious old breeds in the Western Army. The children of the Yao and Chong families are both famous families in the Western Army, although they definitely can't be called any feuds, but they are both competitive with each other, and each is unwilling to be overpowered by the other.

Although Yao Xiong and Yao Gu are not Tong Guan's confidants, they will tend to support Tong Guan in many major military and political decisions. Yao Pingzhong, who was born partially, was young and vigorous, and he was not used to seeing the two generations of the breeders who were in charge of the military and political power of the Western Army from the two generations of Chong Shiheng and Chong Ge, and he was also very disgusted with Tong Guan, who wanted to seize power in the Western Army.

Originally, Tong Guan knew that Yao Zhongping was the rising star of the Sanyuan Yao clan of Jiangmen, and he personally summoned him to deliberately close him, but Yao Pingzhong, who was arrogant, looked at Tong Guan coldly, and looked like a businessman, and had no intention of succumbing to the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, and now he is in power in the Western Army.

Although he was very displeased by Yao Zhongping, a newborn calf, Tong Guan did not want to completely break with Yao Xiong, Yao Gu and other generals who also had a high status in the Western Army. As soon as this matter was publicized, the officers and men of the Western Army all said that in addition to the old kind of economy and strategy, the public can put a child in front of the official family, and it also makes the concubine helpless although he is resentful, and now there is another little lieutenant Yao Zhongping who dares to openly argue with Tong Guan.

As for this Xiao Tang who is now on a business trip to Hedong......

Yao Pingzhong snorted secretly in his heart, secretly paying the discord between the old and small races and Tong Guan, and the factional tendencies among the generals within the Western Army can be called complicated. I heard that Xiao Tang relied on himself to win the favor of the official family, first took the initiative to ask for an order to pacify Jingnan Road, and now he wants to go to Hedong Road to conquer the thieves and form a new army. Presumably, he is also like Tong Guan, a figure who is not willing to be an idle official in Beijing, but wants to fight for power in the army. Since I am a soldier, I naturally want to make a name for myself in the side court with my military exploits, who is impatient with those court officials and wrongs!?

Thinking of this, Yao Pingzhong waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't talk nonsense, since we have been sent to Hedong to suppress the bandits, we just have to be ordered to kill the thieves." You guys are all cheering up, don't fall for the majesty of our Western Army! ”

Commander Qin smiled when he heard this: "Of course, we are not weak generals of other state capitals, we are just fighting with the bird thieves who are fighting in the green forest, but we can't show our brother's true ability!" ”

The men and horses of the six battalions had been resting for half an hour, and Yao Pingzhong was waiting to instruct the commander of the six battalions under his command to supervise the soldiers and horses to prepare for the road. But at this moment, he suddenly heard a burst of shouting and killing sounds from the north side, Yao Pingzhong twisted his eyebrows, and when he was about to go to see what was going on, someone had already rushed up quickly, and bowed down and said: "Qi Xiao Tai Lieutenant, thousands of thieves suddenly rushed out of the mountains and forests on both sides to attack our army, and now it seems that they are going straight to kill here, and please make a decision!" ”

The military official said, and the military Jian around Yao Zhongping suddenly fell silent, but only a moment later, the pot suddenly exploded in the shade of the mountain, and a wave of thunderous shouts and curses broke out:

"How can this be true? If the strongmen in the green forest in the Yongxing Army, Jingyuan Road and other boundaries bump into us, who won't walk around, for fear that the officials and troops will be provoked to level the bird's village? I don't know how many hundred heads of the Xia army were cut off by Lao Tzu, did these thieves and birds in Hedong eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, or did they think that their little lives were long, and they didn't nest in the cottage, and they dared to take the initiative to come to death!? ”

"his grandmother, it's not the Hedong soldiers who coax the goods, but also teach those thieves to think that our officers and soldiers are easy to bully! Fucking open your bird's eyes, don't let go of a thief, Cao Kou dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head, if there is a mistake in Hedong, wouldn't you have to eat the shame of your colleagues when you go back!? ”

"I said that you don't want to compete with me for credit, if you want to fight, it should be the turn of our brothers in the camp to go first, and it happens that Lao Tzu is short of money these days, so kill more thieves and ask for merit and reward, so that you can have spare money and be happy!"

When the soldiers of the Western Army who were present heard that the thieves in the green forest had taken the initiative to come to attack, they all seemed to have suffered a great humiliation, and they all rushed to ask for their lives, and strongly recommended to Yao Pingzhong that they should lead their troops to annihilate the gang of thieves. And Yao Pingzhong suddenly raised his hand again, and the commanders and commanders around him stopped talking one after another, just waiting for the main general to give the order.

The corners of Yao Pingzhong's mouth gradually showed a smile, and he said secretly: "That's it, since I am an official in the army, in the final analysis, I still have to rely on conquest and fighting to make a name for myself, so how can I manage so much? This gang of thieves came well, and they saved me from teaching me to find hardship. Annihilate this gang of bandits and thieves who don't know whether they live or die as soon as possible, and the rest of the miscellaneous matters will not be too late to worry about in the future.

After Yao Zhongping thought about it, he immediately ordered: "Since the thief is coming to us, let's kill the thief!" Lao Qin, lead the brothers of your battalion to escort up, and the other two battalions of soldiers and horses outflank from the left and right, cutting off the formation of thieves. Prepare my horse again, and teach the thieves and birds in Hedong to know the power of the Western Army, and let them know how many eyes the horse king god has! ”
