Xiongzhou City.

Xiongzhou, at this time was still a young name, after Zhou Chai Rong regained Waqiao Pass here, he renamed this place Xiongzhou, probably hoping that Xiongguan could be built here to block the northern enemy. The rivers here are vertical and horizontal, the lakes are connected, because the terrain is low-lying, are large areas of saline-alkali land, the people in ancient times were not able to govern the saline-alkali land, so it has been deserted, the population is sparse, but it provides convenience for the Khitan people in the north to invade the Central Plains. Therefore, as early as the Tang Dynasty, a tile bridge pass was built here in Guwaqiao to prevent the Khitan. In the northeast of this pass, Yijin Pass and Sikou Pass were built, which is the famous "Three Passes".

Tong Xuanfu, who was ordered to patrol the border with 100,000 soldiers, made Tong Guanshuai's mansion.

The Shuai Mansion occupies the Xiongzhou Prefecture Ya, although it is temporarily occupied, it is also painted and repaired, the front of the door is a new powder wall, two rows of tethered horse piles are lined up on both sides, a bright armor, the generally tall Shaanxi man stands majestically outside the Shuai Mansion, and the small school on duty at the door checks the people. Entering the gate, there is a handsome flag in front of you, and there is a handsome flag with the word "Tong" next to it, two columns of guards are neatly dressed and armored, and there are two rows along the Yonglu station. Entering the second courtyard, there were more people than outside, but they came and went silently, for fear of alarming the innermost courtyard. The shogunate, the generals, the maids, and the servants mixed in the courtyard and sent them. When you arrive at the third courtyard, it is the Tong Shuai White Tiger Festival Hall and the living quarters.

Enter the third into the yard, it is the exquisite and luxurious arrangement, the rockery stone transported from nowhere in the courtyard is located in the west of the yard, and transplanted a few plum trees from elsewhere, the plum is pruned and cared for by the famous family, the trunk is old but the branches are thin and steep, the branches are fresh and tender and beautiful, there are a few plum pearls with buds, adding endless business. On the steps of the wide and mighty festival hall stood four junior colonels, carrying steel knives at their waists, staring at each other. In the hall is facing the door is a huge picture of a white tiger, in the middle of the middle sits a thin old man who is about sixty years old, the old man has a brocade handkerchief on his head at will to hold his hair, his face is blue, his eyes are cold, he is not angry and self-imposing, there are more than a dozen black hairs hanging down his chin, and the roots of maintenance are shiny and smooth.

There are also a few people sitting in the hall, there are civil servants, there are military generals, but they all sit upright and listen to Tong Guan said: "The day before yesterday, the vanguard of our army arrived at Gaoyang Pass, and the official royal pen was returned to the Shun Bang Wen Xiao to tell the Liao people, the official family is benevolent, and the Liao people are high-ranking officials and Houlu, but they are really not moving the sword soldiers, and it is the best strategy to recover the land of my Youyan." This official has been on the side for a long time, but he has never seen the arrogance of Heshuo's generals and the use of an army that has no one in the world. Now that the armies of all walks of life have arrived, it is hoped that the generals will reorganize and prepare for the march, and those who lack military food and weapons will be supported by Taiyuan and Daimyo in the near future. The army is about to be launched, and a spy has recently come to report, saying that Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi, the kings of the four armies of the Liao State, each led 30,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact, they each led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, stationed on the north bank of the Baigou River. ”

The people who listened to Tong Guan's teachings, one by one, either hung their heads, or squinted, or bowed their heads in thought, Tong Guan saw that the lieutenant general of the hall was like this, so he asked by name: "The capital has been war-torn for a long time, and is known for its resourcefulness, but I don't know if there is a strategy?" ”

A veteran who is more than seventy years old, with silver hair shining between black hair, wrinkles on his face like a knife, a pair of tiger eyes blazing, and a silver beard under his jaw like a halberd. The division is unknown, but how to fight? Tong Guan's gloomy eyes glanced at the planter's Dao, and replied in a cold tone: "Today's military, the official temple has been decided, and the prestige of the public is victorious. ”

An elder man with a resolute face and a dark face, about thirty years old, stood up, saluted Tong Guan and said, "Lord Xuanshuai, we are waiting for the food monarch to be loyal to the country. It's just that I have been in the west for a long time, and the terrain of Yanbei and rivers here is unfamiliar, and the reason for the incident has not been predicted. If we make a hasty mistake, our generation's reputation is not a pity, but I am afraid that it will be humiliating to the country. Wanwang Xuanshuai allowed me to wait for the plan to be familiar with the plan, and first detect the enemy's situation before we can make a plan. ”

Tong Guan looked at the person who spoke, and nodded with satisfaction, he loved Yang Keshi, a fierce general who was separated from the Western Army, and Yang Keshi could always charge into battle and achieve his Tong Guan's official fame.

Tong Guan was about to speak, a scribe in the seat stood up, Yang Keshi looked at it, but it was Xiongzhou Zhizhou and Xu, and Xu first hugged his fist in the direction of Tokyo, and then glanced at Yang Keshi with disdain from the corner of his eye, and said with his face to the roof: "Yang Tongzhi usually boasts of ten thousand enemies in the army, and he is extremely courageous, and he regards the army of the Liao people and tigers and wolves as straight as destroying and decaying, and is vulnerable. The old man only hated his old age, and hated that he couldn't put pen to paper to repay the emperor's kindness. ”

Yang Keshi's face was red, he wanted to argue, but he couldn't speak, and when he was angry, Tong Guan habitually brushed his beard with his hand and said: "He Zhizhou is dedicated to the country, everyone naturally knows, and Zhizhou presented a phoenix bow for the housekeeper, which made the Fanbang thief Kou cold, and the housekeeper was very happy." Yang's system is also a long-time battle, and he spares his body for the country. Now that the housekeeper values it, Ben Shuai still has more places to borrow from you, so don't give up. ”

Everyone hurriedly got up and thanked him, Tong Guan waved his hand, let everyone sit down, and then brushed his beard and said: "The major affairs of the three armies naturally cannot be regarded as child's play. The commander pondered for many days, the 100,000 army was divided into two routes, the east and west routes, and the eastern route soldiers were commanded by the seed capital, stationed in Baigou Henan, and the commander in chief of the east route army led the Chinese army, and Zhizhou was the deputy commander of the east route army. ”

Seed Master Dao stood up silently and said, "The last general order." ”

Tong Guan continued: "Xin commanded the troops of the West Road and stationed them in Fan Village. and listen to Liu Yanqing and Liu Dutong's moderation. ”

Xin Xingzong stood up and shouted: "The last general's order!" ”

Tong Guan said again: "The eastern and western armies must be arrayed with six plum blossom formations. The Sixth Route Army in the formation was self-determined by the two commanders of the east and west. These two roads are waiting to move. In addition, Yang commanded 3,000 light cavalry, attacked Yi and Zhuo from the west side of the front, and attacked the Liao Xiao cadres from the north and south with Xin, with 50,000 enemies and 10,000 enemies, which was enough to defeat the enemy. If Yelu Dashi led his troops to rescue, the capital of the species went north and took Yanjing directly. If Yelu Dashi is not saved, the capital will be in charge of containing the Yelu Dashi Division, and the Western Route Army will take down the Xiao cadres, and then attack the Yelu Dashi Division from the east and west. Then take Yanjing directly. The Liao people have few soldiers, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for my Great Song Dynasty to recover Youyan. I hope you will do your best for the country. ”

Everyone answered yes in unison. Tong Guan ordered again: "In this battle, in accordance with the holy decree, the generals are bound not to kill a single person, go." ”
