Fang Irong looked at Lu Benzhong coldly: "Master Lu, students have always admired your moral articles, and they have always taken you as a model. It's a pity that what the gentleman said and did disappointed me. Fang Irong is not a three-year-old child, how can he be coaxed? ”

Lu Benzhong smiled faintly, took out a post full of words from his sleeve and threw it to the ground: "This is Li Yanping's letter of advice to General Huyan, you can see for yourself that Huyantong's signature on it is true." ”

Fang Wurong picked up the post from the ground, only glanced at it, and trembled.

"What's wrong, Marquis Yu?"

The generals of the White Army sensed that something was wrong and surrounded them at the same time.

Looking closely, there are not many words on it, but it is Li Heng's handwriting. It probably means that Wang Shen is arrogant, harming the people of Jiang and Han, and regards the court's etiquette as nothing, and the opposite has been revealed, and he has already mastered conclusive evidence and decided to act on behalf of the Son of Heaven to enforce the law of the country and kill this fang.

He also said, General Huyantong, after you are loyal and good, I hope you can stand on the side of the righteousness of the imperial court this time, and you will not be obsessed and discredit the lintel of your ancestors.

At the end of the letter, Hu Yantong's autograph and bright red handprints appeared.

Everyone is a colleague of the Sizhou Army, and there are many letters and official correspondence on weekdays, so how can they not recognize Hu Yantong's handwriting.

These, everyone was shocked by the news, and they didn't even have the strength to scold their mother.

A layer of cold sweat broke out in everyone's vests, and only the sound of heavy breathing remained in the big tent.

Unexpectedly, Hu Yantong, a general in the army who was deeply trusted by the king's military envoys, would vote for Li Heng at a critical moment.

This is where the problem comes in.

Yes, now that the enemy's army is pressing the border, all parts of the Sizhou army are scattered and stationed in various places, leaving only the former army of Huyantong to guard Anlu's hometown. Now that he has fallen, won't the entire Anlu City become an undefended city.

Once Li Cheng comes, he will easily take the city and everyone's families. Once there is a fundamental loss, the Sizhou army will be finished.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Lu Benzhong looked like he was holding a wisdom pearl, and said leisurely: "Fang I am Rong, the general trend has gone, I pity you for being an upright gentleman, and the generals are all tiger warriors, and there will be places to contribute to the country in the future, so I will recruit you and others." Fang Irong, what do you think? ”

"Impossible, impossible, how could General Huyantong live up to the trust of the military envoy and commit such a betrayal?" Fang Irong clenched his fists, and heard his voice bitter and astringent.

Lu Benzhong: "Huyan is a loyal martyr, and General Huyan will be loyal to my Great Song Dynasty and the Zhao Guan's family no matter what the circumstances." To tell you the truth, the old man came from Anlu, and he had a long talk with General Hu Yantong before he came. After I have told you about it, I will come to see you. General Fang, since things are already like this, sign it, hand over the military power, and serve Li Xianggong and my old man. ”

Fang Irong shook his head and said, "Master Lu, that's not how you are a man. Fang used to be just a scholar in Nanjing, but the Jurchen committed a crime in the south, and the country was ruined. The student had no choice but to join Wang Xianggong's command. What my Sizhou Army has done in the past year or two years has been seen in my eyes. Retreat from the Jurchens, guard Jiankang, and protect the Yangtze River defense. Expel Kong, Zhang, Cao, Li and other great Kou, and recover Jianghan. Now he has pacified Hunan and eliminated the Syni demons. For the country and the people, standing up to the heavens and the earth, how can it be possible to surrender to the Jurchens, how can it be a rebellion? If he wants to rebel, he will have to wait until now, and wait for Lu Shi and Li Heng to make trouble today. Students don't read well, and they can't understand a lot of truths. However, I knew that it was impossible for the military envoy to surrender to the enemy. It is a lifelong honor for me to serve under him. ”

"The military envoy was able to promote me from a small scholar to a general of the unified army, and I could not betray this grace mountain. It's a big deal to give this life here today, and it can also fulfill my righteousness! ”

"Okay, Fang Yuhou said it well!" Everyone shouted in unison: "The surname is Lu, don't talk nonsense, let's do it!" Even if we die, we will not sign and draw on your prison and betray the military envoys! ”

Seeing that everyone was making a fuss, the staff surnamed Shang had cold sweat on his forehead, and he was suddenly a little scared in his heart, and said: "Niu and Lang, two generals, since these fools are obsessed with it, they will kill them all, and it is a big deal to promote some obedient people to replace their official positions." ”

"No, no, why be in such a hurry?" Lu Benzhong looked at Fang Irong quietly: "It's still a long time, the old man can wait, you are all rare talents and tigers, I really can't bear to see your blood splashed on the spot!" Think again, think again! ”

Fang Irong was about to shake his head, when suddenly, as soon as the curtain of the Chinese army's big tent was lifted, a guard rushed in: "Marquis Yu, it's not good...... Yes! ”

Before he finished speaking, he was grabbed by Niu Qianjin, thrown in, and sneered: "One less person is killed, and one more person is also killed, today blame you for your bad luck and walk into the Yama Palace." ”

Fang Irong grabbed the guard and asked, "Aren't you working as a sentry outside, why are you coming back now, what's wrong?" ”

The guard hurriedly said: "Marquis Yu, the big thing is not good, Yelu Mawu's 3,000 leather room army has gone around behind us and cut off the road between us and An Lu. Marquis Yu, you make up your mind quickly, otherwise we will be surrounded by the Khitan dogs in the back and the Jurchen Tartars in the front! ”

"What?" At this moment, not only Fang Irong and the generals of the White Army, but even Lu Ben and others also shouted.

It's just that the shouts of Tabaijun and the others were full of anger and depression, while Lu Benzhong and the staff surnamed Shang around him were full of paleness.

Lu Benzhong, the power of the Khitan, knew that when Tong Guan led the main force of the Western Army to conquer Liao, so many elites who dared to fight in Yanjing were defeated by Yelu Dashi.

The Liao people are already so fierce, not to mention that this time there is also the main cavalry of the Jurchen Wanyan Xiyin.

No matter how you look at it, the White Army will only end up being annihilated.

There was a commotion in the big tent of the Chinese army, Fang Irong frowned, and shouted: "What is the trouble, it's just the third front skin room of Yelu Ma Wu, what's the big deal." When the military envoy was able to defeat them once in Jiankang Mansion, we can do it too! ”

Over there, the staff member surnamed Shang looked at Lu Benzhong with a pale face: "Lord Lu, it's not good, how can this be good?" ”

Lu Benzhong felt a little out of breath: "What else can I do, I must immediately and immediately master the troops, and then break through the Fu River in one breath to pull the army back to Anlu and join Li Yanping and Li Cheng, so that the strength of the two armies may still be able to maintain the situation in Anlu." ”

The staff surnamed Shang stumbled and pointed to the people below: "My lord, look at this situation, these thieves have no intention of surrendering, you have to make up your mind early!" ”

Below, Fang Irong was still motivating morale: "Yelu Ma Wu was defeated in the hands of the military envoy before, and he was already afraid of us in his heart. Our army is cavalry, most of the Liao dogs are foot soldiers, and the cavalry has accounted for 30% of the victory against the infantry, this is the people, this is one of them; Second, the Khitan is not familiar with the terrain from afar, and our army has been stationed here for many days, and the terrain of mountains and rivers within a radius of 100 miles is contained in our chest. Third, it is night, and the Khitan cannot see. Warhorses, on the other hand, can march at night. Recently, the weather has been excellent, and the roads are dry and solid, which is suitable for the cavalry to attack, and this is the time of day. ”

He said loudly: "The time, the place, and the people each account for three, if the war, I have a ninety percent chance of winning, as for the remaining one, it depends on God's will." Don't worry, everyone, if you rectify the military horses now, kill them in one go, and break through the Fuhe Wharf. ”

Hearing Fang Irong say this, all the generals breathed a sigh of relief, and said in unison: "General Fang is right, Yelu Ma Wu, our defeated generals are just some of them, so why be afraid." ”

Suddenly, the crowd was filled with confidence that they would win.

At this time, the staff surnamed Shang next to Lu Benzhong shouted: "It's all quiet, hehe, you are all dying, do you still want to discuss how to break through the Fuhe River and return to Anlu?" I'll just ask you, would you like to sign it? Otherwise, don't blame our men for being ruthless? Today, you will be killed and replaced with a group of obedient people to lead the troops. ”

"Lu Benzhong, things have come to this point, life and death are at stake, you are still thinking of conspiracies, grandpa would rather die than surrender!"

"The surname is Lu, come on, kill grandpa!"

"Fuck you, come on, kill!"

Everyone was scolded.

When has Lu Benzhong been scolded by so many people like this, he feels a little unable to raise his head.

After a long time, he said: "Generals, the matter has come to this point, and the military situation is urgent. Since everyone is unwilling to be a person with Li Yanping and Lu Benzhong, then don't blame the old man, do it! ”

"Yes!" Niu Qianjin and Lang Wanjun responded at the same time.

The two had already discussed before, and when they started, Lang Wanjun held a weapon in his hand to guard the door of the tent, and no one escaped. And Niu Qianjin is in charge of hands-on.

The two of them are famous strong men in the army, strong in martial arts, and they are the top two warriors in the white army. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to be promoted from an ordinary cavalryman to the head of the capital in the first place.

Speaking of which, in the Sizhou Army, if you want to enter the Tabai Army as a knight, the requirements are very strict. First of all, you have to know how to ride a horse, and you can't be too bad at riding. Secondly, you can't be too tall. If everyone is a strong man like Yue Yun, Hu Yantong, and Niu Gao, they have to use thousands of miles of horses to move, and where can the Sizhou army find so many BMWs.

If you are too burly and rush a few times while sitting in the saddle, the horse will first be exhausted.

Therefore, the best cavalry should be a short man like Fang Irong, with lap legs.

Anyway, in a word, the smaller the burden on the war horse, the better.

There is a precedent for this, in the modern society in which Wang Shen lives. During the filming of the 93 version of "Water Margin", the actor who played the double whip Hu Yanzhuo was too tall and weighed, and crushed two war horses.

Then there is the courage to charge in the face of the enemy's thick infantry formations and spears sticking out like a forest.

Courage, there is naturally no shortage of soldiers who step on the White Army. But most of them are small people, they don't lose their strength, they are not tall, and their strength is naturally slightly inferior to that of strong men.

At this moment, in the face of the two strong men of Niu and Lang, who were in iron armor all over their bodies, they had almost no ability to resist. [.]
