Han Gang issued an order to transfer most of the people in Weiyuan Fort to Savage Pass and Qingping Fort.

You Sanshi also received an order, and he took his Baoding to go outside the city. just walked to the gate of the camp, but his footsteps stopped, and the Baoding behind him also shouted in a low voice, "Commander Liu!" ”

Sitting on the edge of the empty field on the inside of the camp gate, the middle-aged man dressed like a villager was actually Liu Yuan, the commander of the command where You Sanshi was earlier.

Then the Baoding were loud again: "Chen Yuhou! "Hu Dutou!" "Zhang Dutou!"

Except for the commander Liu Yuan, all of the people gathered in the corner of the camp gate were all generals and colonels in the Guangrui Army in the past. Standing or sitting, they are all doing their own things with their heads down.

You Sanshi had heard that the generals who had commanded the three thousand Guangrui rebels had been placed outside Longxi County and were firmly monitored, but he didn't expect that he would also be drafted this time. Seeing the generals who had commanded him, You Sanshi subconsciously wanted to kneel down on one knee, but immediately remembered that it was no longer time for Guangrui to be in the army, and his body froze.

Seeing a familiar guy half-bowing to himself, but not kneeling, Liu Yuan raised his eyelids, "Do your own thing, what are you doing standing stupidly?" ”

You Sanshi saluted with his hands in his hand, carried a bow and knife, and was busy leading the team out of the city. A group of former Guangrui soldiers who followed You Sanshi also saluted first before leaving the city.

In order to rescue Wu Kui, Guangrui's army was able to respond to every call because the relationship between officers and soldiers was far better than that of other armies. Regardless of anything else, when it comes to the situation of empty salaries, it is usually 20% in the Kansai Army, and only the Guangrui Army is only 10%. Even now, when the Guangrui number has disappeared, there are still remnants of the old relationship.

Sitting on a stone mill, Liu Yuan held a big axe in his hand and slowly polished the blade of the axe with a whetstone. Next to him, some were changing the strings of their longbows, others were wiping their knives. Although he has changed from a horse army to an infantry army, and from a general to a prisoner, the martial arts still remain on him.

Han Gang watched the movement in this corner from a distance. The atmosphere of the more than 200 old generals is as calm as a mountain, and the appearance of calm and relaxed is completely different from the feeling given to him by ordinary sergeants.

The Western Army is not the Beijing Forbidden Army, nor is it the Hebei Forbidden Army, and after years of war, the Western Army has measured people with martial arts. If you pull out a pawn casually, you can open eight bucket bows and three stone crossbows. And the generals, especially the ten generals who command two or three ten-man teams to the commanders who command five hundred people, the officers of this class are basically skilled in bows and horses, and strong in martial arts. And none of the generals who can gain a foothold in the Guangrui Army, which belongs to the cavalry troops, and give orders, will be weak. In Han Gang's view, this is a more elite combat power than the selection of fronts from all walks of life.

With a smile, he turned back to the hall.

Without a team of nearly 300 generals and colonels of the former Guangrui Army, how could Han Gang dare to keep the Weiyuan Fort where he started was less than a thousand people. Just half a year ago, but there was a precedent for Luo Wucheng, seeing that Funing Fort was captured, how could he not beware of the Tubo people sneaking up on Weiyuan.

Han Gang didn't know if someone would come to attack Weiyuan, but he looked at the past examples, and the general's luck psychology was the main reason for the defeat of the army. He didn't think that the Tubo people would be bold enough to come and attack Weiyuan, but as long as there was the slightest possibility, he still decided to recruit all the rebel generals. Regardless of whether they come in handy or not, just being there is enough to keep Weiyuan Fort as stable as Mount Tai, and it can also put oneself at ease.

On the other hand, the price Han Gang paid for this was an unpredictable risk. It's not that these generals will still have the heart to rebel, and it is very likely that someone will use this matter to attack Han Gang in the future to appoint traitors - officers and soldiers in the rebel army are two different things in the eyes of the Son of Heaven. One side is a premeditated traitor, and the other side is basically a poor person who has been bewitched and forced to do so—

Han Gang's call for Bao Ding, composed of rebel soldiers, is understandable, and even in the eyes of some people, this is what the rebels should suffer. can gather the rebel officers into soldiers, and he bears this responsibility, and once he loses, he can't escape the responsibility.

Han Gang is not afraid of taking responsibility, he has already weighed the benefits and risks, and if there is guilt, he is willing to bear it. But if something happens, such as the urgent report that rushes in now, it is his foresight.

"When did Blind Wu Qi's courage become so big?"

Han Gang didn't have a trace of surprise, just sneered.

The war drums beat in Weiyuan Fort, and Wang Zhong was in a panic, hurriedly went up to the city wall, and found Han Gang, who was standing at the head of the city.

Wang Zhongzheng was originally preparing to return to Longxi, but he just passed through Weiyuan. He personally followed Wang Shao into Lintao City, and the credit has been earned, and the next thing is to return to the safe Longxi City, waiting for his mission to end, and the credit will be in hand.

Wang Shao also hoped that Wang Zhongzheng could return to Longxi, and he ordered Cai Yu to come to Lintao to report, but Qin Feng transferred the judge and refused to obey the order. Wang Shao didn't expect Wang Zhongzheng to intervene in his game with the Privy Council, but as long as Cai Xi could refuse his order again in front of him, it would be enough. Cai Xi's disobedience to orders fell in the eyes of Wang Zhongzheng, who was ordered to supervise the army, and Wang Shao sent him to prison, which was justified. If Cai Xi took the order because he was afraid of Wang Zhongzheng, it would be even better.

Wang Zhongzheng also knew Wang Shao's intentions, so he took the matter over easily, so that he could return to Longxi justifiably. It's just that his luck is not good, and he just wanted to rest in Weiyuan for the night, when he heard the war drums in bed.

In the midst of the deafening and constantly stirring drums, Wang Zhongzheng leaned into Han Gang's ear and shouted: "Han Jiyi, what's going on?!" ”

Han Gang smiled and looked back, "You know, it seems that you have to stay in Weiyuan Fort for two days...... There are thieves attacking Weiyuan! ”

Drums beat. Liu Yuan and the other generals were already lined up, and Han Gang was standing in front of them at this time.

His gaze swept over the rebel generals, and their expressions were as if nothing had happened, only the eager light flashed in their eyes from time to time.

Han Gang: "In the past, all the monarchs were the pillars of the army, and it became today's situation by accident. If you want to lead the army again, it is impossible. But your children and grandchildren still have a chance, as long as they are not involved. Whether you can get rid of the thief name for your descendants depends on the struggle of the kings. ”

Among the people, Liu Yuan is one of the commanders with the highest official rank, and he is the oldest among the commanders, and he is the leader. He bowed down to Han Gang and said, "Han Jiyi, I will thank you for saving your life, and the whole family will also have a chance to protect you." Since the thief army is attacking this time, it is appropriate to use it to our place, so how can we sit idly by? There is nothing else to say, only death! ”

A promise, a promise, Liu Yuan turned the big axe in his hand, and then led a group of generals and colonels to the fence to face the enemy.

Han Gang returned to the city, and the banner of the Tubo people had appeared outside Weiyuan Fort.

Due to the temporary stockpiling of military supplies and grain, a large army was stationed the day before yesterday, and a fence was built on the outside of the fortress. The enclosed open space became a camp and a storehouse. There are less than 1,000 defenders, including 200 in the North Fort on the other side of Weishui, to defend the camp where 10,000 troops were once stationed, which is actually a drop in the bucket. Outside the camp, there were almost more than 2,000 Tibetan cavalry.

After calculating the gap in the comparison of forces, Wang Zhongzheng's cold sweat broke out all over his body, "Han Jiyi, don't you light a beacon fire?" ”

"Just a thief army, why not stop here?"

The lighting of the beacon fire was to inform the imperial court to the east, and it did not help at all. The messenger to the west has already been dispatched, so it is better to see how to deal with the opponent.

The Tubo people were menacing, and when they arrived outside Weiyuan Fort, they didn't rest at all. The main force stopped for a while, and more than 300 forwards went straight to the south side of the walled gate.

Liu Yuan's leader is here. More than 300 horsemen were approaching, and the solid earth was trembling. With the ferocity of their attack, the seemingly fragile fence may be able to break through in one fell swoop.

The former Guangrui generals, who were slightly less numerous than the number of enemies, did not see the slightest panic. There was no one to order, each with a bow and arrows, and before the cavalry rushed to the front of the camp fence, a rain of arrows came out of the string.

What kind of masters these are.

Wang Sunchen's beaded archery technique, Han Gang saw it; Liu Changzuo's giant bow and heavy arrows, Han Gang also saw it. Nearly 300 generals, all of whom were good at arching horses, shot down a piece of the first rushing horse, and the people turned on their backs, and in the flying dust, only a miserable neighing and mournful sound came out, and they couldn't even get close to the fence.

The front army was defeated, and the cavalry that followed immediately reined in and stopped. There were only a dozen or twenty horsemen left, and they couldn't hold it up for a while, so they rushed to the side of the camp fence in the rain of arrows.

Liu Yuan didn't know when he had climbed out of the fence, and with a bow, he entered the team. The people were chaotic, and Liu Yuan disappeared for a while. When he reappeared, he somehow jumped on a war horse, and the heavy axe that he had held in his hand had turned into a large spear wielding. The spear was swallowed, and in an instant, several horsemen near the left were dismounted.

"This person's martial arts is not inferior to Guo Zun and Zhang Yu in the old years!"

At the head of the city, watching Liu Yuan exert his might, and in the future, he rode off the horse one by one, and Wang Zhongzheng was speechless.

Han Gang sighed: "It's a pity that he is a prisoner." ”

Wang Zhongzheng's expression changed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Han Gang, his eyes were deep, "Han Jiyi, you want to protect his merits......"

"Nope." Han Gang shook his head, he wouldn't count on the impossible, "As a minister of the imperial court, it is the kindness of the Son of Heaven to be able to spare his life if he is a thief who rebels." At most, it is to avoid the sins of the past, so that his children and grandchildren will not be dragged down by him. ”

"That's fine." Wang Zhongzheng's expression was relieved, although he had to look at three generations, no one cared too much. Zhang Deyi wrote for the anti-thief king of Beizhou, and his two brothers were still officials. He agreed with Han Gang's statement, "Heaven is gracious, if this generation has the heart to change, there should be no reason to let it go." ”

The generals and colonels of the former Guangrui Army are still fighting.

Liu Yuan brandished his spear and snatched more than a dozen war horses, plus the rider was shot down at the beginning, and the war horse didn't have time to escape back. In the blink of an eye, more than 30 people climbed out of the camp fence and jumped on their horses.

The killing and snatching of horses was done smoothly, and Wang Zhongzheng was stunned when he saw it.

But after all, there were few Song soldiers in this team, and Blind Wu Qi and Wu Yanzheng didn't think that it would be too smooth, just finding out that there were not enough troops in Weiyuan Fort was already very encouraging to them.

The horn sounded again, and the horsemen who had just been repairing started one after another, rushing towards the seemingly fragile camp.
