In the north, Xu Dao led the army to fight against the Jurchens, and he traveled all the way from Chang'an to the northwest, and only then did he reach Jingzhou, so that he could catch up with the troops of the Jingyuan Jingluo Pacification Division. But when I asked, I found out that Xu Yuan had set up heavy troops here to prevent the Jin army from attacking his defense area after taking the Guanzhong Plain. And himself. With part of the team, I went back to Weizhou.

This Jingyuan was slightly pacified, and concurrently served as the governor of Weizhou. Lingwei, Jing, Yuan, Xi'an, Hui five prefectures. It has always been at the forefront of the battle against the party members. From Xi'an Prefecture to it, it is to kill the bull. There are two military divisions set up by the Xia State on the east and west sides. For more than a hundred years, the Western Army doesn't know how many times you have fought with the party here, you can find a random place there, go down with a hoe, and you can't dig up two skulls to come out.

The strategic location is so prominent. When Xu Yuan went to Shaanxi to fight, he sent 30,000 troops. It is not difficult to see that the soldiers of the Jingyuan army are strong and strong. Therefore, Xu Liang said that he would chase this big cousin back, and then go with that little cousin. Resist the Jurchen attack.

After leaving Jingzhou, Xu Liang and his entourage continued to chase northwest on the land that was neatly divided into the ditch. But when he approached the boundary of Weizhou, he learned again. Xu Jingluo didn't come back, and when he went to Yuanzhou to set up defenses, Xu Liang felt that the eldest brother's withdrawal of troops this time was probably not temporary. He's trying to keep his territory. Helpless, he turned to Wonju again.

Wonju. It is probably the area of Zhenyuan County, Gansu in later generations. It is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack, and in addition to its own geographical conditions, in the territory of Wonju, the fortresses and fortresses built by the Western Army in various periods are simply blooming everywhere. There are very few real Pingtou people here, and the vast majority of them are armor soldiers and village soldiers.

Kaibiansai is one of the many military villages in Yuanzhou, where the Western Army once killed the nephew of the lord of the Xia State. Xu Yuan was inspecting here this day, and when he heard the news of the arrival of his sixth brother Xu Liang, he was very surprised for a while. Because among the five brothers of the Xu family, the other four are all military ministers who lead troops to fight, but this sixth brother is the only one who holds books and takes the imperial examination, so Xu Yuan and several other cousins have intersections, even including Xu Wu, who has the most weird temper, but he has no contact with Xu Liu.

But after all, it was his second brother, so Xu Yuan didn't think much about it, so he went to greet him in person. This military fortress. It is mostly located in the key places, relying on the steepness. The difference with the city is that the city itself also has the characteristics of "life", but the military wall is only for "fighting" all its facilities. It's all built around war. Even if there were such things as restaurants and restaurants, they were actually opened by the local officers stationed there.

Xu Liang was in a small restaurant, and he sat alone at a table, chewing slowly and forming a stark difference from the rest of the store. It is estimated that the food is too poor, he chewed a little hard, Xu Yuan saw this scene when he went in, and laughed: "You can't eat this!" ”

Most of the people eating in the restaurant were military commanders at all levels who opened the border village, and although they didn't know him, they knew the people who accompanied him and the commanders. At that time, a few people stood up and stopped eating. Xu Yuan waved his hand and roared: "You guys eat by yourself." ”

"Big brother!" Xu Liang hurriedly got up and stepped forward. smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how is my eldest brother?" ”

Xu Yuan looked this cousin up and down according to the knife, and sighed: "Oh, it's different, it's different."

In the end, it came out of the pile of books, and it was different from us vulgar men who were stabbed by a chair all day long! "In this kind of poor mountains and bad waters, it is extremely difficult to see people wearing red official robes and gold belts tied around their waists.

"Where does the eldest brother speak, sit and sit." Xu Liang said with a smile.

"Let's go, don't spoil your stomach as a scholar, don't eat these diets, go back to the village with your brother." Xu Yuan said loudly. His words aroused the curiosity of many people in the store, and reading people are a rarity here. It is not uncommon for the local people to have been on the expedition for generations, and it is not uncommon for the three generations of grandparents to fight with swords, and in this kind of place, it is basically impossible for you to find a person who can talk about Confucius and Mencius.

The brothers walked on the road that was not wide, and they passed by almost all soldiers. Even those who set up a tent on the road and sold some wine and rice. There were knives and guns at the door. As soon as he heard the sound of the war drums, the man who ran the hall picked up a glaive knife and went into battle.

"Although our ancestors of the Xu family have been fighting in the northwest for generations, this is the first time that my brother has seen this kind of battle." Xu Liang saw that Xu Da didn't speak, and began to find a topic.

"What is this? Among the five states and three armies under the jurisdiction of the Jingyuan Marshal Division, there are more than 40 military villages of this scale. It's not my brother boasting, the Jurchens want to break into Jingyuan, hehe. Xu Da smiled a little smugly.

When Xu Liang heard this, he deliberately sighed: "But the ninth brother doesn't have such good conditions as the eldest brother." ”

Seeing that Xu Jiu was mentioned, Xu Da turned his head sideways and asked, "The sixth brother is here to fight Chang'an, right?" Has the ninth brother withdrawn? When he withdrew his troops, Xuanfu Si had already agreed to retreat to Qin Feng, and it was estimated that at this time, Lao Jiu should have taken root in the Fengxiang area of Qinzhou. Although it is not as steep as Jingyuan, you can have the ability of the ninth brother, and it is no problem to hold it, I don't know why the sixth brother said this?

Xu Liang didn't answer, just shook his head with a wry smile: "I'll talk to the eldest brother later." ”

This kind of military fortress is basically a single street. At the end of the street is the place where the officials and soldiers such as Zhizhai deal with the affairs of the soldiers and the people, which cannot be called the yamen, because the place where the peddlers and pawns eat tea and listen to books in Chang'an City is also more magnificent than it. Just a broken tile house. It seemed to be about to collapse at any moment, and if it weren't for the guards with guns in armor, this place would be no different from a bullpen. However, compared to the restaurant just now, it's already good.

Xu Yuan untied the knife, took off his battle robe, and shouted, "Let the guy get a few things." dish, and then the jar wine, softened and mild. ”

The brothers sat down at the table where all four legs were shaking, and Xu Yuan asked again, "Sixth brother, what's wrong with Lao Jiu?" But what happened to Chang'an? ”

"Big brother, it's not a secret, the ninth brother is now the official matter of "Quan Yongxing's army passing through the road and pacifying the division" Li Xuanfu Chengtan worshiped as a general. Now. I'm afraid that a war has already started with the Jurchens. Xu Liang went straight to the point.

He originally thought that Xu Da would be very surprised when he heard this, but he didn't expect that Xu Yuan shook his head and sighed, so that he asked suspiciously, "Brother, this is."

Xu Yuan took a bowl from the table that had been notched. After pouring half a bowl of tea, I don't know if it was tea or muddy water, pushed it to my cousin, and sighed: "The second uncle is gone, those of us who are elder brothers should have protected our brothers." However, tsk, the ninth brother is covered. ”

"What does Big Brother mean by that?" Xu Liang couldn't help but ask.

Xu Yuan glanced at him and pressed his elbows against the table. Leaning out of his body and asking: "In this matter, it is very likely that the officials of Chang'an City did not agree to give up the city, forcing Li Xuanfu to make up his mind to hold on, right?" Xu Liang nodded, Xu Yuan coldly. One more voice, disdainfully: "When it comes to war, what do these people know?" Empty loyalty, often mislead others and harm themselves! At this point, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, and explained with a smile, "Of course, my brother didn't mean you. ”

Xu Liang smiled and didn't mind. (To be continued)
