Wuchen Ding is worried, of course, it is impossible to start with the troops. And when Xu Wei left his brother. Shaanxi Sanlu soldiers and horses are preparing to march into Hedong. Therefore, only Li Guan, who was a non-combat unit, was escorted by men and horses. Li Guan's troops, the history of their establishment. Almost at the same time as the Jingsui camp. When he was still stationed in Mutuowang, Xu Wei ordered Li Guan to select suitable talents and conduct special training. What are you practicing? Spying, assassination, guarding, and even practicing the three indiscriminately such as the *sweat* drug. Because Li Guan used to do this on the rivers and lakes.

Just because of this, "Li Guan couldn't raise his head in the army for a long time. For his men almost never wore armor, nor did they mention a large sword or a heavy axe, and often carried a sharp blade. With a crossbow on his back, there may be a dark green child hidden in his sleeve. They also do not participate in the daily training of the Hujie Township Army, because the army practices formations, and they practice fighting. Therefore, other commanders and envoys often ridiculed Li Guan for not doing his job properly and doing some things from top to bottom.

But later, his troops were dispatched several times. Especially when he was stationed in Jingnan, he intercepted and killed the Jin country rangers, attacked and harassed the Jin State mission, and then spies on Erdong later, all of which were ahead of the army. became the eyes and ears of Hujie, and the voice of criticism in the army gradually subsided. Today, he has only a few hundred men under his command, but he is still one of the commanders. And his troops are still in charge of Xu Gu himself.

When he hurried over, he saw Xu Wei's expression was different, and his heart sank, so he quickly stepped forward and hugged his book: "I arrived under the order of the humble duty and saw the Zhijun." I've seen Xu Dutong. ”

Xu Hong expected that the ninth brother would definitely have some orders. Although he was a brother, it was not convenient for him to observe the military affairs of others, so he said goodbye and left, and after Xu Wei sent him away, the first sentence he said when he looked back changed Li Guan's face.

"Li Guan, have I treated you badly in the past few years?"

What is this called? At the beginning, I rushed to Xujiazhuang with some brothers to join the army, if it wasn't for the Lord Zhijun to take him in, how could I be today? Seven-pinned black yarn is worn. Received every month, and occasionally received a reward. Although there are fewer men. But all of them are brave people with unique skills. These are all given by the Zhijun.

"Knowing the army and treating it with humble duties, and rebuilding with kindness." Li Guan is colorful.

"Good. Tell you the truth. My ancestral grave was dug up, and my father died of anger because of this incident. Right now. I want you to personally lead people north. Find me a guy named Xu He. It doesn't matter what means you use, and it doesn't matter how much time you spend. In any case, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death! Xu Wei was still quiet like a pool of water in front of his cousins, but the resentment on his face at this time made Li Guan tremble.

"Zhijun rest assured! Before joining the army, I went to Zhending in the north and Daimyo in the south, and I went to all places! There are also a lot of friends on the rivers and lakes, and they will immediately select capable cadres and leave tomorrow, no matter what, they will definitely complete the mission! Li Guan assured. He used to beg for food on the rivers and lakes. A pair of double knives. With a secret weapon, he won a lot of fame in Hebei and Shandong. After voting for Xu Wei, he also used his influence to recruit many wanderers.

If these people are filled into combat units. The effect may not be as good as that of a peasant, but if you do this kind of assassination, it will be easy to capture.

"I'll tell you the details later. Remember, tell the brothers that although they are helping me with personal affairs, Xu Jiu will not treat me badly. There are people who capture Xu He alive, and I pay out of my own pocket and reward 500 yuan. and to take their heads, three hundred, and to all those who take part in the matter, fifty per man. Xu Wei generously promised a reward, and the emperor was not short of hungry soldiers.

Li Guan said: "My brothers are deeply favored by the promotion of the Zhijun, how dare they ask for money? Please rest assured, if you don't find out Xu He, you will never give up on your humble duties! Until now, he still doesn't know what the origin of the person named Xu He is, and what it has to do with Xu Zhang's death. But he wouldn't ask, and he didn't dare to ask, these hundreds of them were in the army, and they only needed to carry out the order, and they didn't need to ask the reason.

Just when Xu Wei was stranded in the mourning of the daimyo and secretly sent someone to avenge his father, Li Gang was anxious to reinstate him because of the defeat of the Sanlu Western Army. When the news of the defeat at the front reached Tokyo, Zhao Huan was deeply worried. Before the war, not only him, but also the ruling ministers in the detailed division were quite optimistic. Because the situation in Hedong has been showing an improving trend under the auspices of Xu Wei.

Now it's good, the three-way western army went out and let the Jurchens return with a big defeat. It is reported that in the first battle of Fenzhou, the Western Army suffered nearly 6,000 casualties, and the Jin Army pursued and killed all the way until Guozha Town, Yao Pingzhong, Wu Jie, and others successfully blocked the attack, and the Western Army lost nearly 10,000 men and horses, not counting materials and ordnance. Suffer heavy casualties in battle. Zhao Huan can accept it, but what he can't accept is that this time it was the Great Song Dynasty who tore up the Jingkang Peace Conference attack first. The Jurchens will definitely take action on this ground. But until now, there is no Jin envoy coming to the court, which shows that Jin Guo has no intention of playing tricks with the south.

Therefore, as soon as he received Li Gang's request to "win love" from Xu Wei, Zhao Huan did not hesitate at all. issued an edict and asked the Privy Council officials to take it to the Daimyo's Mansion and ordered Xu Wei to "recover"

Officials who go to work or stay in their posts due to the death of their parents are called "Ding Wei" because filial piety occupies an extremely important position in the code of ethics. Therefore, all dynasties have attached great importance to the "Ding worry" system, and if the parents die, if they conceal it and do not report it, they will be demoted at least and lose their official positions at worst.

Sometimes, due to special circumstances, the imperial court does not allow officials to mourn and worry, which is called "seizing affection", which means that it takes away the family affection of your Japanese daughter's filial piety. If the officer is in the middle of the funeral service. The court needs to call on the sorrow to end the worry in advance, which is called "recovering from the love"

But the officials of the Privy Council arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, saw Xu Wei, and read out the edict of the Son of Heaven. Xu Wei said on the spot that his father's bones were not cold, and he was not buried in the ground, and if he was a son of man, he could not fulfill his filial piety. What is the face of the world? Therefore, he did not obey the edict, and also gave Zhao Huan a watch, asking the emperor to understand the difficulties of the Xu family.

Xu Wei's way of being caught by a master on the table. said it sincerely, and Zhao Huan was quite moved when he saw it. But before that moving energy passed, something happened in Hedong. At the end of June, the Jin army withdrew to Yunzhong because it could not withstand the heat. But Li Zhi seemed to have been ordered by the Jurchens to come out of the nest. Crazy attack on the southeast border of the river.

Because they didn't think about using the righteous army at all, the western army withdrew, and they took the two states of Liaofen. The first army of Wasion returned to Li Zhi's hands without much effort, and Pingyang Mansion was among them. On June 24, Li Meng led an army of more than 20,000 Kou Pingyang, defeated the Pingyang Righteous Army all the way, and broke the city at noon on the 29th. This is not the first time that the Pingyang Rebels have fought with the Li Army, and their strength has been weakened, not to mention the "River Incident"? Therefore, after Li Meng took Pingyang lightly, he turned his troops to the east, cooperated with his father Li Zhi's army, and attacked the Zhaode Mansion defended by Ma Kuo on both sides. Time. Hedong earthquake!

Xu Wei was the head of the Hedong Righteous Army, and he was mourning in Ding, so Qu Duan issued an order to the Righteous Army as the "Hedong Economic Envoy", asking them to resolutely resist. However, the incident of the attack on the river of the rebels in Pingyang Prefecture is still vivid, and the bloodstains have not dried up, and the hundreds of thousands of rebels in Hedong can be said to have no sense of identity with this boss who suddenly appeared, and even hate him deeply, and they did not take his order seriously at all. From the end of June, there were incidents of the rebels abandoning the city and surrendering to the enemy, which made Li Gang and He Guan of Jingzhao anxious and desperately needed to understand the situation in Hedong, and Xu Wei, who was deeply supported by the rebels, came back to clean up the mess. So, he requested that Xu Wei's revival of the repetition be sent to Tokyo in a row.

Zhao Huan was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly ordered someone to draft an edict to prevent Xu Wei from continuing to mourn. He ordered the edict to come to the day. That is, Xuan Qicheng was reinstated. At the same time, in order to appease Xu Wei, Zhao Huan named him the "Founding Uncle of Wuxiang County" in the edict and added the false title of "Deputy Commander of the Guard's Pro-Army Ma Military Division", and said, "Ziang is loyal and brave, crowned in the army, do not abolish justice with personal favor." ”

But the edict was sent to the Daimyo's mansion, but Xu Wei still refused to obey the edict and insisted on keeping filial piety for his father for three years. It needs to be explained here that if a military minister like Xu Wei does not listen to orders and advances and retreats without authorization during his tenure, this kind of resistance will definitely be punished. But he is now a "resident official mourning" and in the name of filial piety, resisting the edict of promotion and reinstatement. Affection is in law. It's all permissible, or at least not going to be held accountable.

In the White Horse Temple, Xu Wei still sweeps the floor every day. sprinkled water and cleaned Xu Zhangquan's place spotlessly. Even the original "sweeping monks" in the temple sighed to themselves. Xu Hong has been appointed by the imperial court as the governor of Zhichong Prefecture, and the pacification envoy and the head of the soldiers and beggars on the Jingxi Road through the east and west of the road, becoming a marshal all the way, leading the Shandong army to return to Jinan.

Han Shizhong and Yue Fei are two people, because they have an old relationship with Xu Wei. Occasionally, I come to pay a visit. Hebei recruited Zhang Suo, and because his son Zhang Xian was a general under Xu Wei, he also found time to come twice in the midst of complicated official business. The rest of the time, Xu Wei was dressed in plain clothes and lived in the meditation room. He asked someone to find some military books, of course, it could not be a divine book such as "The Art of War", he specialized in studying the military books of the predecessors who had fought with the northern cavalry.

Liu Yu used the "Moon Array" to defeat the cavalry with infantry several times. However, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty's formation relied on the coordinated operation of the infantry army and the naval army, and the composition conditions were complicated. It is also limited by geography, so it is of little significance to learn from it. And the tactics of Li Jing, the god of war of the Tang Army, are interesting. Xu Weixian, Li Jing every time he faces the enemy. The functions of each force are very clearly defined. There are archers, crossbowmen, garrisons, strikers, horsemen, jumpers, cavalry, and more. And his tactics are also very flexible, and the enemy is attacking on foot. After entering the range of the bow and crossbow, the bow and crossbow shoot in unison, and even as soon as the arrow is released, the crossbowman is the guy and fights hand-to-hand with the front team. Moreover, when the front team and the crossbowmen were fighting, all the horses, jumpers, and strange soldiers were not allowed to move. If the attack doesn't go well, they'll replace the Blade Heavy and the Crossbowman. If they can't even fight, then all the infantry troops will have to cooperate with the horse army. Li Jing paid special attention to the frontal "battle front", that is, the heavy infantry equipped with Mo Dao. He believes that in the case of "horses are not as good as the north", an elite and tenacious heavy infantry army is the basis for victory. For the general, it must not be ignored.

Every time Xu Wei reads this, he imagines thousands. The scene of the heavy infantry of the Tang Dynasty marching like a wall with a Mo knife in their hands crushed the enemy with men and horses. I can't help but be fascinated......

Do you say that Xu Wei lives in seclusion in the White Horse Temple and only reads military books? Of course not, he never wanted to be a pure soldier. Especially this funeral for his father, which made him think more clearly.

Why didn't he be reinstated? Is it really because he wants to guard Xu Zhang's spirit? The answer is naturally no, he is indeed sad about the death of his father, but this kind of grief is not dim and discouraged. It's more of a feeling of guilt and emotion.

The reason why he can't afford to edict two times is because

These days are rare to spare, Xu Wei has been reflecting on his gains and losses since he led the army. He has a problem, and almost every time, there is a problem in the face. He relied on the advantage of foreknowledge of history and actively made plans. But you're not the decision-maker. You've made a suggestion, and it's up to you to see if it's useful. If you don't, you're doing your job for nothing. To put it bluntly, if you don't have real power in your hands, and you don't have relatively unfettered decision-making power, what do you do?

Why do I always give advice? And then wait to see if it will be used? For example, this time to send troops to Hedong, Ma Kuo's strategy is not clever, right? But He Shaobao would rather believe in Qu Dashuai. What can you do? They are six-way system envoys. You are nothing in the road level. Even the right to speak is because of the past fame, or friendship. But fame and friendship are all false, and the power in your hands is the real thing. Oh, there's a problem. I remembered to ask Xu Jiu to fight the fire, I'm a fire brigade?

This day was the eleventh day of July, and Xu Wei only took five or six guards, dressed in civilian clothes, and did not alarm anyone, and went out of the city to Xiajin County. This year, there was a severe drought in Hedong and Shaanxi. Hebei is not having a good time either. Although it is the beginning of autumn, the autumn tiger is obviously more fierce than the purple gold tiger, and the sun can make you feel that your head is about to burn.

In Xiajin County, although Xu Wei didn't want to alarm the magistrates, he also wanted to see how much damage had been done in the place where he had been fighting with Yang Yan, Zhang Qing, and Ma Tai.

Yu walked into the city, but saw that although the market was depressed, the buildings in the county town were almost not damaged, and there were still many people left. Isn't it that Gao Shiyou wants to take the name and come to Beijing of the Great Song Dynasty to ascend the throne?

After seeing one, he didn't find lunch in the city, and he ran in the direction of Xujiazhuang again, but Xu Wei didn't feel like he was returning home.

After a while, Xujiazhuang was already mating and stopped his mount at Xu Weile in the west of the village. This is the way. At the beginning, he took the Jingyu battalion based on more than 90 teenagers in Xujiazhuang from this road to embark on the journey to the west, to the territory of Xiangzhou, and the Jin army to fight in the field, at the foot of the Purple Mountain, to prevent the enemy from crossing the river, a turn of years, several years have passed.

When he entered the village, Xu Wei's face immediately became gloomy. The idyllic Xujiazhuang of the past no longer exists, and what catches the eye is only a ruined wall, and the black left after the fire is shocking. The surviving villagers of the village are running among the rubble, some pulling through the ruins to see if they can find anything useful. Some just looked at their destroyed homes with sad faces.

The ancestral house of the Xu family has only a few earthen walls left, and it is surrounded by burned paper embers and bamboo sticks of incense and candles. Come to think of it, after my father died, the hometown fathers heard the news and paid tribute in front of the ancestral house of the Xu family. Xu Wei turned over and dismounted, stepping on the mess all over the ground

"Home"

He could also vaguely distinguish where was the flower hall and where was the bedroom. Where he stood now. It is the only way for Xu Zhangchen to return home after morning exercises. How many times, the two fathers and sons looked at each other here, and said nothing. Now that I think about it, I should have said a few more words to the old man at that time. Nor will heaven and man be separated forever now,

"Strangers" came to the village, and they were all armed with weapons, which soon attracted the attention of the villagers. Someone quietly ran over, looked carefully for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Jiulang is back!" ”

This roar immediately caused a commotion in Manzhuang, and I don't know how many voices passed the news of Xu Jiu's return one after another. After a while, almost all the people of Xujiazhuang who were still staying in Sangcui flocked to the former site of Xufu. The expression on their faces. I can't tell whether it was sad or happy, but I just looked at Xu Jiu with a complicated expression, looking at this character who was called a "scourge" at the beginning and was later cited as a "pride". One of the men took the lead and knelt down, and in the blink of an eye, the people fell to their knees in an uproar, crying

Rise.

Xu Wei hurriedly sent the guards to help, but an old man couldn't hold on, so Xu Wei had to step forward to help him up. This old man is afraid that he is ten years old, and he remembers that the fourth brother once said that this old man has a very high rank in Xujiazhuang, and he is afraid that people will call him great-grandfather.

Lao Zuojia's skin-like face was full of tears, his lips couldn't help trembling, and he held Xu Wei's hand. It took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "Jiulang." Miserable! After that, he cried loudly, and the villagers around him were very sentimental and cried.

Xu Wei sighed secretly in his heart and persuaded: "Fathers, the house is gone, it can be repaired again, as long as there are people, it is good to be there." ”

"Takayoyu! On that day, 1,800 high troops broke into the village, looting and setting fire to it. He also drove the villagers into the wheat field. Q: Where is the ancestral tomb of our Xu family? This Zhuangzi has practiced martial arts for generations. Don't say that the men are three-year-old babies. I'd rather live standing than die on my knees, can you say that? The brutality of the Gao army is unimaginable! Pulled a man, or your own family, with the stone grind from the foot to the chest, the man still screamed and scolded. said that sooner or later, Xu Shaobao would definitely call over, and then call your group of *** not to die! As soon as he finished speaking, his throat was cut off with a knife! The blood spurted so high that the babies were so frightened that they couldn't cry. The old man excitedly recounted the painful experience of the day, and Xu Wei listened expressionlessly, without saying a word......
