Chapter Ninety-Five: Commander

Xu Wei studied history when he was a student in his previous life, and he was particularly interested in the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, due to the limitations of experience and insight, I never understood how a dynasty with a strong economy, developed science and technology, and many famous generals could be like a naked kiln sister, anyone could touch it? If you touch it, you don't give money, but you have to post it upside down? Will these so-called celebrities be in vain? But when he saw the Tao of the Seed Master with his own eyes, he finally believed that the weakness of the Song Dynasty lay in politics and the environment, and it was not a crime of war.

In his imagination, a famous warrior like the Seed Master Dao should be a majestic character who can kill people with his eyes. But seeing the old man in front of him who was nearly eighty years old, full of wind and frost, and his hair and beard were almost white, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. This age should have been a time to tease his grandson and enjoy his family in peace, but the imperial court wanted an old man in his last years to take on the responsibility of saving the society from peril, is this the misfortune of the teacher or the sorrow of the Great Song Dynasty?

He took a group of generals of the Western Army across the river to inspect military affairs, and Xu Yuanguan visited the deputy envoy of Jingluo, and he was also a five-rank official, and he was already a senior general in the military rank. But he led all the generals to greet him at the head of the Purple Mountain pontoon, and he was very respectful, and he almost didn't even raise his head. Look at the group of brightly armored Western Army generals, following the breeder with his head bowed and pleasing to his eyes, like a group of docile lambs. Xu Wei finally saw what it meant to be highly respected. The Seed Master Dao walked to the front, his steps were a little staggering, and a group of generals who crisscrossed the battlefield followed in small steps, except for Xu Yuan, who was reporting the battle situation to him, no one spoke. When he saw the traces of the battle on the pontoon bridge and listened to Xu Yuan's introduction of the battle, the veteran stopped and pulled the iron rope as thick as an arm without saying a word. All the generals were also silent, waiting for the young protection to give instructions.

"The country is very fortunate, and the court is very fortunate......" said the seed master said softly. Everyone didn't know what was going on, and they didn't dare to ask rashly. After a long time, he turned his head and looked at the crowd: "I have not slackened since I served the king of Zhaoqin. But they still underestimated the Jurchens, I really didn't expect them to attack so fast! When he heard that the Jin army was approaching the Yellow River, he almost cut himself to thank the world. I thought that Yanyun to the Yellow River was thousands of miles apart? I expected that the situation would not be like this, and I was recruiting troops on the one hand, and waiting for my brother's headquarters on the other, who would have expected ......" At this point, he shook his head slowly, as if he was still a little afraid when he thought about it now. If the Jurchens were allowed to cross the Yellow River and approach Tokyo, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Xu Yuan." For a long time, the seed master called in a deep voice.

"Humble duty!" Xu Yuan stepped forward and bowed.

"Fortunately, you have reinforcements in time, otherwise, even if people like you and me lead troops to cut themselves, it will be difficult to make up for this leak! Good! Good! Good! Chong Shaobao said three good words in a row, and the hand like a dead tree also patted him on the shoulder three times.

Xu Yuan lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Thank you Shaobao for the award, it's just ...... Ashamed of his tightness, when the troops of the humble duty arrived, the defenders here had been stubbornly defending for five days, repelling several fierce attacks of the Jin army, so that they lost their spirit and had no intention of fighting. ”

Seed Master Dao was shocked when he heard this, didn't he say that as soon as the Jin army approached the Yellow River, the defenders on the south bank fled when they heard the news? Then he asked, "Oh? Is there such a thing? I don't know who is here to hold on? ”

Xu Yuan pointed his finger at his stunned young brother, and said proudly: "This is the person." ”

The planter took a look at it and was surprised! He? Just this young offspring? Although he looks good, he is only twenty years old, how can he do such a big thing? After staring at Xu Wei for a long time, he asked, "What is your surname?" What is your current job? ”

Xu Wei had enough respect for this veteran who was loyal to the country, stepped forward to bow, and replied: "Humble Xu Wei, the current commander of the Yongying Battalion of Jingsui Township, the Daimyo Mansion. ”

Xiang Yong! Seed Master Dao almost suspected that he had heard it wrong, and it was actually a township army that held out here for five days and repelled several onslaughts of the Jin army! What shocked him even more was still to come, after Xu Wei gave a concise report on the battle situation in the past few days, the commander of the Western Army held his forehead with his hand and secretly exclaimed happiness. If it weren't for this township army, since Sangzi rushed to King Qin, and after the defenders retreated, they resolutely shouldered the responsibility of defending the land and defending the country, and the Jin army was afraid that it would have been in the city of Tokyo!

A generation of famous generals who have been on the battlefield for a lifetime, crawling in the sea of corpses and blood, can't help but be a little excited at this time, and wanted to reward this junior, but found that he couldn't find any words. Just stared straight at him and nodded heavily.

When they came to the camp, the soldiers of the forbidden army heard that the prince had arrived, and they rushed to meet him. From the excitement of the soldiers, Xu Wei saw the lofty status of the Dao of Seed Masters in the Song army! It is no wonder that in "Water Margin", those heroic and uninhibited heroes who kill people without blinking an eye are all in awe when they mention "the small species are slightly fair". This is the highest honor of a soldier!

After inspecting the defense, he met with the generals on the south bank, and the **** was over, and the generals were worried that he was sick and went out on the expedition, and after a tiring day, they persuaded him to return to the camp on the north bank to rest. But he insisted on staying, saying that he wanted to see someone alone, and this person was Xu Wei. This time, it made the generals of the Western Army very surprised.

"That guy is just a township soldier leader, even if he makes some military exploits, just a few words of commendation, why bother to raise it like this?" One of the generals questioned. Around thirty, the body is full of martial arts, the face is black, the two sword eyebrows are heroic, and the face is full of disdain at this time. It's no wonder that he, this person is a general in the West, he went into battle at the age of eighteen to fight with the party members, and his military exploits are outstanding, and he is a representative of the younger generation in the army, surnamed Yao Pingzhong.

Before the planter could answer, another veteran smiled and said, "He's not just a village leader. It was Qu Chong, the general of the Western Army who went to Xia Jin that day to ask Xu Zhang to come out of the mountain again.

With a sigh, the planter said earnestly: "The country's eventful autumn is the time when our generation of people with swords and armor try to serve the service. But we old things, sooner or later, we will be finished, and who will defend the country when the time comes? I can only rely on you juniors, and what we haven't done in the previous generation will have to be left to you. ”

Yao Pingzhong heard it and said no more. Only then did the seed master turn to Qu Chong and ask, "You said that he is more than just a village soldier leader?" ”

Qu Chong didn't answer for a while, and he was ashamed in his heart. On the same day, he was ordered to go to Xia Jin to invite Xu Zhang out of the mountain, and seeing that he was old and sick, he was too useless to use, and he brought his son to him. I was disappointed and immediately pushed away. Unexpectedly, this kid learned his father's skills, a few thousand township soldiers, actually fought Xiangzhou in World War I and the Yellow River in World War II, which made the arrogant Jurchens lose their temper. Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and the future is terrifying!
