Xiao Tang said a word, and also taught Liu Zhongwu to be speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to reply. But Liu Qi seemed to hear Xiao Tang's words, he paced forward, and also smiled at Xiao Tang: "Xiao Jieshuai, after saying goodbye to Bianjing, we can finally meet here today." ”

Xiao Tang also chuckled lightly and said, "Now that you and I are in the same boat, it is time to call you General Liu." It is also a pleasure to be able to go to the battlefield with General Liu to contribute to the country. ”

Not only because of the relationship between Liu Qi, an unborn famous general, Xiao Tang also did not plan to be like Gao Yu and other treacherous villains who excluded dissidents and harmed people behind their backs, just because Liu Zhongwu and him had close contacts with each other in the military department, he planned to take the opportunity to get rid of this Western Army general with extremely rich experience in fighting against the Xia army. Although he must be wary of him, but because of personal grudges and self-interest, he promotes infighting in the army, which is obviously not what Xiao Tang sees. Whether it is Wu Jue, who is quite ruthless in his means to achieve his goals, or Liu Zhongwu, who has a close relationship with Gao Yu in front of him, at least according to the current situation, there are good generals like them who have the opportunity to become a powerful help for themselves.

In the midst of thunderous cheers, Xiao Tang and his subordinate commanders pulled a cartload of heavy grain and grass closer to the border of the town. Just as Xiao Tang turned the conversation and asked Liu Zhongwu about the recent situation in the border town, he suddenly heard someone shouting happily: "Master! ”

Xiao Tang immediately smiled when he heard the voice, and he followed the prestige, and saw that Li Shifu and the relatives who had moved to the border village of the town with Li Yongqi as family members also hurried to meet him. But when Li Shifu ran to his approach, Xiao Tang took a step with his left foot, and then his body turned quickly, and he stretched out his palm and pushed it straight towards Li Shifu's chest. Seeing this, Li Shifu smiled, he turned his body to the side, avoided Xiao Tang's palm, and then reached out to grab his wrist, and in one move, he seemed to have turned defense into attack, and his technique was also sensitive.

Xiao Tang naturally had no flaws in his moves towards a half-old child, and he brushed his wrist away from Li Shifu's grappling. The two of them made a few moves with each other's bare hands, and when Li Shifu jumped out of the circle backwards, Xiao Tang nodded and praised: "Yes, I passed on your tiger claw hand to be considered proficient, which shows that you have really practiced martial arts these days." It's just that boxing is an emergency measure, and weapons, archers and horses must also be familiar on the battlefield in order to make a profit. ”

Li Shifu rubbed his nose, puffed up his chest and said: "Master teaches the apprentice to remember, but the master points out the mysteries of martial arts, and the apprentice thinks that he has learned it very well, even if he helps the master to kill the thief now, the apprentice can also ask himself to be of great use." ”

"Don't be presumptuous! The ministers in the army are here, where can you kid be noisy here? ”

Although Li Shifu, who has a young heart, is very willing to be close to Xiao Tangtao, his son Li Yongqi is more serious, and he thinks in his heart that the two festival envoys and many colleagues in the army who are used to fighting are here, but you kid doesn't know how to measure. While thinking about it, Li Yongqi pulled Li Shifu aside again.

And Xiao Tang encouraged Li Shifu a few more words, and then walked straight to the festival hall in the town with Liu Zhongwu, Liu Qi and others. Being able to point out this young martial arts who is determined to make contributions to the battle array, this also makes Xiao Tang can't help but recall that when he was in Xiao Jiaji, he also had Jintai, Tan Zhengfang, Zhou Tong and other famous teachers and masters successively taught the mastery, which also gave Xiao Tang a sense of responsibility in his heart for inheritance, but now he still doesn't know that this young man, who is still named Li Shifu, will also become a generation of famous generals on the same level as Wu Jue, Liu Qi and others......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Five or six days after Xiao Tang led his troops to station in the border village of the town, the good news of the main attacking troops of the Song army also came from other fronts, and the old seed Jing Liuxianggong who originally unified the army in the central front of the Song and Xia Dynasty in the Hulu River Valley (originating at the southern foot of Moon Mountain in Xiji County, Ningxia, and flowing through Gansu and Shaanxi) finally launched an offensive against the attacking Xia army. The Xia army, which was originally unstable, was defeated, and the Song army took advantage of the situation to pursue, and captured tens of thousands of camels, cattle and horses, and finally completed the task of building the city.

After capturing several fortresses of the Xia army, Liu Fa, who led his troops to several small victories, also began to transfer troops and horses to advance to the western front, intending to join forces with the large army of Tong Guan's department and attack the Xia State Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division and Renduoquancheng from the western front (in Qinghai and Gansu in later generations).

At the same time, Xiao Tang also received an edict from the post officer, and when Xiao Tang opened the official document and read it, his face slowly showed a calm smile.

Because the edict said that due to the death of the supervising army Cai Ying, the troops of the western and central lines of the Song army also began to assemble on a large scale, and the troops that originally tended to be garrisoned on the eastern front could also dispatch troops to exert pressure on the territory of the Xia State under the command of Xiao Tang, who took over the supervision of the army. However, if Xiao Tang led his troops from the town border village to the east to Yinzhou, Xiazhou and other famous cities in Western Xia, he would also face the regular army soldiers and horses of the three military divisions of the left wing of the Xia State, Shenyong, Shenyou, and Jianing.

Su Wen Jieshuai to serve the country's ambition awe-inspiring, the younger brother has also been with my words and the handsome graceful and elegant, majestic and strong, this summer to commit Shun, Wang Shi rebelled, my generation of the country's ministers are committed to Anshe Jiding Qiangrong. The thieves tend to take the Xia, Cai Xianggong died in the chaos of the army, and then the commander was ordered to be in danger, and he would like to use the Miaoluo to resist the capture to ensure that the weight is not lost, and now I and the commander of the festival commander and the banner march into the army to move Qiang and Xia, and the thieves can not take care of each other, then the chaos will kill the Kou, and the big thing can be done.

However, Xia Kou occupies a favorable position, and there are many large armies to guard, and the commander is in charge of the soldiers and horses on the east road. Although the two states of silver and Xia are the important mansions of Xia Bang, the Qiang Department gathered troops in Hengshan to get food, because of the crime, a little into my territory and there were gains, our army mapped, all the land of the capital and Hengshan, Xia then took the desert as the boundary, no place to gather troops on the grain, it was difficult to attack my Great Song Dynasty Pass, and the code was lost in dangerous places, so as to teach me the Great Song Sheji to be calm, and to teach the people of the border court to rest, and I hope that the festival marshal will be cautious and live up to the court's commission.

In the letter of the Seed Master, he is also reminding Xiao Tang that the state capitals of Xia State, Yinzhou, Xiazhou and other states can take it, but after all, there are also a large number of Xia soldiers and horses on the eastern front, so it is necessary to be cautious and cautious. After all, from the perspective of grand strategy, the Song army on the eastern front still had to exert pressure on the Xia army and cooperate with the main attacking forces of other fronts to annex all the passes and barriers of the Xia army in Hengshan.

However, if you want to draw the key points from the edict of the Seed Master Dao, the old Seed Jing Liugong now agrees that Xiao Tang will take over the military power of the Song army on the Eastern Front, and can lead the troops and horses to launch an attack on the pass military state under the jurisdiction of Rongwei under the three military divisions of the left wing of the Xia State, Shenyong, Shenyou, and Jianing.

Although it is not yet known how Tong Guan, who commanded the troops and horses on the Western Front and the Xia Army, would feel after learning about this, but now he has justifiably mobilized the Suide Army and even the troops on standby under the jurisdiction of several military states around him, Xiao Tang is also the first time to participate in the war at the national level as the commander of the soldiers and horses. It makes the power disputes surging in the Western Army even more confusing...... Xiao Tang is also putting those questions aside for the time being, and in the final analysis, since he is now the commander in chief, in the final analysis, he still has to use his real military exploits to further expand his influence in the Great Song Army.

Xiao Tang handed over the edict of the Seed Master Dao to the generals in the festival hall and circulated it, and then he stood up, stroked the handsome case with his hand, and said loudly: "The old seed has also seen the decree of the old seed master. This section commander has also made up his mind, and dispatched the forbidden troops from all over the military villages under the rule of Suide Prefecture, except for the soldiers and horses who are in danger of Rongwei, the rest of the troops will be assembled within a limited time to enter the Xia Kingdom Yinzhou! ”
