Tears, sometimes do not mean cowardice. At this time, the two lines of tears of the Song army commander are probably the most appropriate way to express them. More than two years ago, in Dunzhou, the ambush that caused the Western army to bear huge humiliation and heavy losses made the most elite army of the Great Song Dynasty unable to raise its head and breathe for a long time. Tens of thousands of brothers buried their bones in the enemy's territory, and their remains are still in the vast enclosure to this day! The Jurchens, in the way of building a view of Beijing, show off their military exploits...... The commander of the Western Army, the famous Purple Gold Tiger of Shaanxi, was not only seriously wounded in that battle, but also lost countless robes that lived and died together! He made the defeat a lifelong disgrace...... However, today, in the birthplace of Chinese civilization, his army, with the most direct and effective means, washed away the shame of the past and once again straightened the backbone of the Western Army!

Xu Si, Xu Wu and Wu Lan and others came over, and Yang Yan hurriedly caught up. In the face of such a great victory, several high-ranking generals of the Western Army were speechless. Yang Da held Xu Si and Xu Wu's hands tightly, suddenly let go again, took a step back, and shook deeply at his two brothers! In this battle, the troops from Zhu Ji Pass were the first to engage in the battle, they simply withstood the enemy's fierce attack, and seized the opportunity to advance with the whole army, so that the left wing corps of the Jin Army has been strongly suppressed, from the beginning to the end of the battle, there is no pull! The Liangxing pacification division, which directly commanded the troops, controlled Xu Hong, and made great contributions!

Several people looked around the battlefield and couldn't help but sigh, this battle was fought happily! After holding back a bad breath for more than two years, I finally spit it out!

"Where is Yang Congyi? This battle is a big victory, but it starts with him! What about people! I'm going to ask for credit for him! Yang Yan shouted loudly.

Xu Hong waved his hand, wiped the blood stains on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, it's imperative, we have to gather the troops and march east!" "The Jin army was defeated in Fengxiang Mansion, and the remnants who broke out of the siege must go to Jingzhao, and now is not the time for the Song army to celebrate the victory!

Yang Yan heard this: "Fifth brother is not in a hurry, the ninth brother has already made arrangements." That Li Tianwang's troops had already moved eastward along the south bank of Weishui. At this time, I am afraid that it has already been arranged, waiting for the rout. ”

"Hurry up! Pack up, let's go straight to Chang'an! Xu Sheng gasped.

Yang Yan was silent for a moment, nodded heavily, and said, "Okay!" Beat the water dogs! Pass my general's order, leave a team to clean up the battlefield, imprison the prisoners, and report to Qinzhou! The main force is assembled, and the troops are sent to Chang'an! ”

Qinzhou, Shaanxi Preparation Division.

Xu Wei was alone, sitting in his office hall. There was a scroll in front of him, holding a brush in his hand, but the commander-in-chief of the Western Army had already lost his mind, and the whole person was like wood, not moving at all.

Based on the analysis of the news from the front, the main forces of the Song, Jin, and Han armies should have started a war in the past two days, right? I don't know what the situation is. Although this battle has been carefully planned and arranged in advance, there are never any absolutes on the battlefield, and any slight mistake may lead to a reversal of the situation!

As an envoy of Shaanxi, it is impossible for him to be on the front line as before, and it is really ......uncomfortable to wait for the news. A shout pulled the Purple Gold Tiger back from his complicated thoughts. At a glance, it was the Senator of the Department of Military, Liu Ziyu. When I looked again, there was a person behind him.

Seeing that person, Xu Wei put down his pen, got up to meet him, and said with a smile: "Which gust of wind blew the chief here?" ”

It was not someone else who came, it was Xu Liu, who was the judge of Xuanfu in Sichuan and Shaanxi. When he saw his cousin, he still laughed, and waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, what's the situation?" Xu Xuanfu couldn't eat a few days ago, so he worried about you. ”

Xu Wei glanced at Liu Ziyu, and the latter retreated. Then, he asked his cousin to sit down and pour him a cup of tea in person, Xu Liu took it, and couldn't help but ask again: "Lao Jiu, tell me, what's going on?" Xuanfu Si knows that you plan to do it in Fengxiang, what is the situation now? ”

Xu Wei took a sip of tea, was silent for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "I don't know either." ”

As soon as Xu Liuyi heard this, he couldn't drink the tea, and he couldn't sit still when he put the cup, got up and paced back and forth in the hall, and his mouth kept slurking.

"This is the first large-scale operation of the Western Army since the Yanzhou incident. Ninth brother, I won't tell you, not only Xu Xuan is worried, but also for his brother, and he has been unable to sleep and eat in the past few days. To put it mildly, in case, I mean in case, in case there is a mistake, the consequences ......"

At this point, Xu Liu couldn't continue. Fools know that if the Western Army is defeated again, Shaanxi will not be able to keep it, and Sichuan will have to be shaved brightly. The entire west will tremble under the iron hooves of the golden army!

As the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, he is in charge of the overall military command, do you think Xu Wei is not in a hurry? He was now more anxious than Xu Liu to know the news from the front, but it was useless to be anxious! Seeing his cousin dangling in front of him like a big jumper, he relieved: "Sixth brother, don't be impatient, you sit down and sit down, it makes me dizzy." How? Brother came this time specifically to listen to the battle situation? ”

After Xu Liu sat down, he spread his hands: "What else can it be?" Before leaving, Xuanfu waited for the bus, and my task is to guard you until the results come out. ”

Xu Wei nodded when he heard this, and suddenly asked, "Sixth brother, I heard that during this time, the Xuanfu Division is increasing troops to Xingyuan Mansion?" What's going on? ”

Hearing him mention this, Xu Liu was a little surprised, but thought about it. Liangxing Fengyang appeased Wang Yan, who was Lao Jiu's old department, how could this matter be hidden from him? The reason why Xuanfu Si increased troops in Hanzhong was that he was afraid that if the Western Army was defeated and the Jin Army attacked on a large scale, Sichuan would not be left unresisted.

After careful consideration, he also said frankly: "You don't have to worry too much, Xuanfu Si keeps a hand, just in case." The Xuanfu Division has always been a strong supporter and absolute trust in you. ”

"It's okay, I understand it, and it's necessary. In the past few days, I have been thinking that although Shaanxi has the Western Army in charge, Shukou still needs to be heavily garrisoned. I think so, when the time is ripe, the Liangdang Fengyang Pacification Division should be upgraded to the Jingluo Pacification Division. Hanzhong is sandwiched between the Guanzhong Plain and the Chengdu Plain, with Nanshan Mountain in front and Daba Mountain in the back, and Hanzhong Gu and Sichuan Gu ......"

Xu Liu listened to his cousin's chat, and his face was full of surprise, he finally couldn't listen anymore, and interrupted: "I said ninth brother, when has this been, are you still thinking about these trivialities?" ”

Xu Wei was stunned for a moment, and then retorted: "How is this trivial? If you are prepared, you will not be in trouble......"

"Gotta do it, you don't talk about this, I'm not in the mood to listen to this now. Care about Fengxiang's war now! Nothing else is worth mentioning! Xu Liang said impatiently.

The two brothers were talking, and suddenly saw Zhang Qing, the supervisor of the Preparation Division, rushing in. As soon as his lips moved, he caught a glimpse of Xu Liu's presence, swallowed back his words, and saluted: "I have seen Xu Ju in my humble position." ”

"Hmm." Xu Liu nodded.

"What? What's the matter? Seeing his hurried appearance, Xu Wei immediately asked.

Zhang Qing's dark face was full of excitement, he held something tightly in his hand, and whispered: "War, war report!" It's back! ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Liu and Xu Jiu got up at the same time! Both wanted to ask, but neither of them could speak. In the end, Xu Wei settled down and said in a deep voice: "How? ”

Zhang Qing had a smile on his face, so excited that he even changed his tone: "Great victory!" ”

When these two words that he dreamed of hearing came into his ears, Xu Wei's face did not change, and he slowly sat down. And Xu Liu stood on the spot, and after a while, he strode up a few times, grabbed the silver medal, and couldn't wait to watch it!

"Great victory! Sure enough, it was a big victory! Xu Liang looked at the battle report while turning back and shouting to his cousin. Yesterday, after the Jin army entered Fengxiang, it sent the division north to attack Jingzhou, and traveled to the two plateaus of Qishan, where they were ambushed by Yang and Yang Congyi, and then the main force of the Jin army followed up. The fourth brother and the fifth brother immediately mentioned that the garrison of Zhu Jiguan followed, and Yang Yan and Zhang Xian led the main force of Fengxiang to the east. Fight with the Jin army in the sun of Qishan, and finally defeat the enemy army, and the victory is not counted! At this moment, they gathered troops again and sent troops to Chang'an! ”

After Xu Wei heard this, he nodded and smiled: "Not bad." ”

Xu Liu turned over the silver medal and looked at it a few times, and was so excited that he couldn't help himself: "Okay! That's great! This battle defeated the main force of the Jin Army and saved the decline since the Yanzhou incident! What a delight! At this point, he paused, handed the silver medal to Xu Wei, and added, "Lao Jiu, I only said this now." Xu Xuan Fujun's will, if he is defeated, and the conditions allow, he can wave his army to the east! Full support of the Propaganda Division! ”

"It's natural, I'll arrange it." Xu Wei agreed. Only then did he pick up the silver medal and look at it, then put it down again.

Xu Liu stared at him for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Xu Zhizhi, you defeated the main force of the Jin Army in one fell swoop, and made such a great achievement, how can you ...... Not happy? ”

"Rejoice! Of course rejoice! Xu Wei said with a smile.

"You just pretend, my brother doesn't know you yet? Believe it or not, as soon as I walk out of this room, you promise to jump up and down! People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Xu Liuzao did not have the previous nervousness, and quipped.

Xu Wei waved his hand again and again: "No, no." ”

Xu Liang breathed a long sigh of relief, the whole person relaxed, and sighed: "That's it, you continue to pretend." This sentence will go back to Mianzhou! ”

"Huh? Why did you just come and leave? Xu Jiu said in surprise.

"Xuanfu is still waiting for news. Besides, don't you need food and pay when you move eastward? I'll go back and prepare for you. In a word, you fight the battle well in the front, and we will do our best to protect you in the back. Let's unite civilly and militaryly, and consolidate Sichuan and Shaanxi together! Let's go! After Xu Liang finished speaking, he really went out.

"No, Sixth Brother, why don't you leave after eating," Xu Wei chased after him......

"What kind of food? You've got enough of me for a while! While Xu Liu was speaking, the person had already rushed out of the second hall.

Zijin Tiger watched him leave, turned around and glanced at Zhang Qing, suddenly ran back to his seat, picked up the silver medal, held it with both hands, and looked at it carefully.

Seeing this, Zhang Qing smiled and said: "I really let Xu judge what he said, the handsome man is pretending." ”

Xu Wei carefully looked at the good news and sighed: "It's not easy." ”

Of course it's not easy! In the past, there was a fiasco in Dunzhou, Zhang Jun and Yao Pingzhong lost all their money, his 20,000 soldiers and horses were almost wiped out, and he was seriously injured! That's it, and it also lost Ningzhou Yao Zhuzhou and Jingzhao Mansion, what a shame is that? For more than two years, he has been thinking about washing away his shame all the time. However, objective facts told him that after the fiasco of Yanzhou, the Western Army should not talk about any counteroffensive for at least a considerable period of time!

However, things in this world are sometimes so impermanent. The Jurchens assigned Shaanxi to the puppet Han, and the main force of the Jinxi Route Army withdrew from Shaanxi and returned to China, leaving only Han Chang to be stationed. Even if the Jin-Han coalition army sent troops to the west this time, although the protagonist was still the Jin army, it was not the fierce enemy that had been dealing with the western army in Shaanxi for many years! Instead, there was a man named Chi Zhanhui who appeared out of nowhere!

The triangular defense system of Fengxiang Province greatly consumed the sharpness of the Jin-Han coalition army; The onslaught of the Jingyuan army in Qingyang Mansion made Zhang Jun lose his temper. This all laid the foundation for victory. This time, the victory is not only by the Tiger Army! This victory is no longer Xu Wei's personal one-man show.

This is the glory achieved by the great unity of the Western Army! In this battle, the four commanders of Huanqing, Jingyuan, Qinfeng, and Xihe, and even the Liangxing pacification division all participated. In the history of the Western Army, there has never been a time when we were sincerely united and loyal to their duties!

If this situation of unity and forge ahead can continue to be deepened and strengthened, then it is no exaggeration to say that the Western Army is enough to support half of the country!

In the Battle of Qisan, the Western Army defeated the 80,000 Kim and Han coalition forces. Only in the Qishan battlefield, the Western Army cut more than 10,000 ranks, and captured 7,000 people from the Jin Army and the Korean Army! Chizhan Hui, Han Chang and other senior generals of the Jin Army led their troops to break through the siege and fled, and were desperately pursued by the Xuanfeng Ma Army! From Qishan to Fufeng, the Jin-Han coalition army ambushed the corpse for more than 40 miles!

Seeing that he was about to cross the Wuting River and enter the martial arts territory under the Jingzhao Mansion. Once again, disaster befell them! Li Cheng, the former general of the Korean army, led 13,000 troops to defeat the division according to the Wuting River.

Having just escaped death, the Jin-Han coalition army that came down from the battlefield was exhausted and had no morale to speak of. There was a blockade in front and a chasing soldier in the back, and in order to survive, these soldiers who had fled had to go up to engage in battle.

Li Cheng Liangxing's troops were not opponents in front of the Western Army, and they were certainly not opponents in front of the Jin Army. But in the face of the rout of the army's morale and lack of fighting spirit, they hardened. Hold on to the Wuting River and fight hard! Soon, the horse army of Yang Zaixing, Li Chengwei, and Du Feihu arrived, and the Jin-Han coalition army was defeated again! Those who fled into Jingzhao Mansion did not even have 20,000! So much so that when the Korean army arrived at the battlefield from the territory of Jingzhao Mansion, they could only follow the rout and run back without a head.

In the battle, the Song army killed more than 21,000 enemies and captured 12,000 prisoners, most of whom were Korean troops. More than 1,700 war horses were captured for military use, and other ordnance and armor and other materials were not counted! If you add the results achieved by Xu Yuan in the north, then the achievements of the Western Army will be even more brilliant!

The defeat at the front made Liu Yu, the puppet Han Shaanxi Xuanfu ambassador stationed in Chang'an, extremely shocked! When he knew that the Western Army was chasing after the rout, and was about to descend on the city. He didn't care much, left thousands of Han troops to defend the city, and introduced a number of civil and military officials from the Xuanfu Division, and fled to Yaozhou in a hurry without waiting for the Jin army to come back, and planned to pass through here, all the way north, throw himself into Yanzhou, and finally settle in Yan'an. Chi Zhanhui led the remnants to retreat into Jingzhao, and did not stay at all, following in Liu Yu's footsteps, and went straight to Yaozhou.

Yang Zaixing, Li Chengwei, and Du Feihu chased all the way, and when they reached Chang'an, Du Feihu suggested stopping and waiting for the main force. But Yang Zaixing and Li Chengwei made a mistake, and they had no intention of doing so, so they continued to chase and fight fiercely and went to Yaozhou. chased until Fuping, only to return because of the lack of people.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, Yang Yan, Xu Hong and other generals led a large army to Chang'an City. Here, it used to be the center of Shaanxi, and it was also the marshal mansion of the Purple Golden Tiger. More than two years later, the bleak scene of the initial evacuation is still vivid, but now, the Western Army has returned.

Looking at the majestic city walls, the soldiers couldn't help but sigh that this was once the place they fought for. It's just that at that time, they were in the city, and the enemy was outside the city. Now, the offense and defense have changed hands, and Chang'an's strong city defense can withstand the thunderous wrath of the Western Army?

Yang Yan's face was tired, but his bloodshot eyes still gave out a fierce gaze! Looking at the defenders in the city from afar, he took a sip and said to Xu Sheng Xu Hong beside him: "Fourth brother, fifth brother, fight or caress or caress you?" ”

Xu Sheng heard this: "Most of the Jin army and the Han army have fled, and there are not many troops in this Chang'an City, so there is no need to fight." Let's soothe. It is best to fall, and then fight if it does not fall. ”

Xu Hong took over the conversation: "Put the formation out first, so that the defenders know that if you don't surrender, you will die!" ”

When Yang Yan heard this, he shouted loudly: "Go to a few people, throw yourself into the city, and tell those birds to open the city and surrender, so as to avoid death!" Command the whole army, line up and prepare! If the city is attacked, whoever puts the Zijin Army flag on the head of the city will be counted as his first merit! The handsome man has his own reward! ”

said that at this time, there were only 3,000 Han troops in Chang'an City. When the Xuanfu Division withdrew and the large army also went north to Yaozhou, these 3,000 people trembled and panicked. Seeing the Western Army approaching the city, lined up to attack, it was even more terrifying!

Yang Yan was so arrogant that he made a bet with his comrades that if the defenders did not surrender, he would take Chang'an City in half a day! As a result, the people who went to surrender were still running halfway, and an abnormal situation happened.

"Huh? How did the gates open? Wu Lan suddenly shouted.

The generals took advantage of the situation and saw that the west gate of Chang'an was slowly opened! No way? Could it be that these rotten eggs and rotten watermelons still have to go out of the city to fight with us?

On second look, it seems that this is really the case. After the drawbridge was lowered, groups of soldiers rushed out of the hole in the city gate, and lined up outside the west city.

Yang Zaixing was furious, beat his horse to the Chinese army, and asked Yang Yan for battle: "Yang Dutong, humiliate and invite a thousand troops, go and destroy it!" ”

Xu Hong waved his hand: "Don't worry! Look! ”

I saw that in the middle of the defender's formation, a person rushed out, without armor or weapons, until he was stopped in front of the western army. After a short time, a commander-in-chief sent him to the Chinese army.

"The villain is ordered by General An to surrender and respectfully invite all the commanders of the Western Army to enter the city!"
