Shihuhiko and the others grabbed their knives and paid attention to the people who were scattered on the steps of Han County in this sudden way, holding crossbows in their arms, and some of them were actually aiming directly at Qu Dutong!

That lewd man is the wind in the middle of the story. Li Guan, the commander of the so-called "Thirteenth Commander of Hujie". Walking in front of Yao Pingzhong, a pair of small eyes swept over the people opposite, but there was no fear, and he said in a sharp voice: "Guarding Yao Senate under the order of the great handsome Jun, please don't make it difficult to do your humble job!" ”

Qu Duan was naturally not frightened by these few, and said with a cruel smile: "What if this official makes it difficult for you?" ”

"Swords and arrows have no eyes, and injuries are not good at all!" Li Guan didn't give an inch. When he came, Xu Wei explained to him clearly, if Qu Duan refused to listen to moderation, or even had any outrageous behavior towards Yao Pingzhong, you just let it go, and I will bear it if something happens! Therefore, Li Guan has this confidence.

The curly cheeks are agitated, obviously angry! Neither side dared to act rashly, so it was a stalemate. After a long time, Qu Duan's chest rose and fell, and he waved his hand: "Collect the weapon!" All out! ”

The Zhang brothers and other generals hesitated slightly. Or obey the order and put the knife into the sheath, bypass the other party and go out of the courtyard. Seeing this, Yao Pingzhong also said to Li Guan: "When he went out, the latter shook again, turned around and made a gesture, and the person with the knife and crossbow also immediately withdrew from the scene, and only Qu Duan and Yao Pingzhong were left in the huge courtyard.

"When?. Yao Pingzhong's tone was still stiff, and his gaze was still resolute.

Qu Duan slowly sat down, and said with a blushing face: "You go back and tell the Xu family brothers." As for the appointment of the deputy envoy, I must see the edict of the imperial court. As for when the troops will be marched. This official has his own measure! "It's also a stone in a pit, smelly and hard.

"You!" Yao Pingzhong's anger came up again! "Qu Dutong, Xu Zhizhi made it clear, if you postpone it again. If you are sent by the rulers, you will be virtuous."

"It doesn't hurt either! This official has led the army back to Huanqing! Qu Duan pretended to smile lightly.

Yao Pingzhong laughed when he heard this: "There is such a good thing? If you insist on this, then your temporary position of Huanqing will also be handed over."

Qu Duan was shocked. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was impossible for Xu Yuan to do this, so he smiled: "Some people want to report their personal grievances, so let him go." ”

Yao Pingzhong saw that he had this attitude, and thought that he was only here to convey Xu's military order, and it was his business to listen to it or not. As soon as he thought of this, he said, "Since this is the case." Then he took his leave of office. Turn around and go.

Qu Duan didn't show weakness, and said in the back of the husband: "Don't send it."

Hearing this, Yao Pingzhong seemed to think of something. Stopped and turned around: "Qu Dutong." Fight for your country. Shame on the coward". Anyway, don't stay. He is still qualified to say this, although Yao Xiyan has all kinds of wrongs, but since the anti-Jin, he has fought against the Jurchens several times, and he has never been afraid of the enemy.

Not long after the other party left, Qu Duan bit his teeth and smashed his fist on the stone table. Damn. Why was He Shaobao suddenly transferred to Xingzai? It is said that it will not be, and the official family sent him to Shaanxi. Just to unify the military power, this matter will be dismissed at the beginning? Xu Yuan is against himself. He is now the deputy envoy of the system, and he is by no means as good as himself.

This fact came as a big surprise. As soon as He Guan left, Li Gang had an opinion about himself. How do you deal with this in the future? Which way to go? The brothers of the Xu family definitely don't want to see themselves, Li Gang and them are all the way, I can't say it, I'm afraid that I will resign from the position of commander. Just keep the position of Huanqing. But Yao Pingzhong has already made it clear that if he doesn't enter the army again, Lian Qing's position will not be guaranteed. He turned out to be the governor of Huanzhou, cultivated as a handsome guard, Xu Yuan sent him to pass the order, and the intention of the demonstration was very obvious! Although I don't believe that Xu Yide will make such a big move. But after all, it's better to guard against it.

After thinking about it. Qu Duan stood up and shouted: . Come on".

The Zhang brothers and others hurried in, and reprimanded Yao Pingzhong for being rude, rampant, and gossiping as if they had been greatly wronged. Qu Duan was upset. Unable to hear the noise, he shouted to the generals and ordered: "Gather the troops." Tomorrow morning, it will be pulled out."

"Dutong, are we really afraid of the Xu family brothers?" Zhang Zhongyan said unwillingly.

Qu Duan's face was expressionless: "This official sent troops to fight against gold, and the two roads of Duyan and Huanqing rely on each other, and their lips are dead and their teeth are cold, so they naturally want to be saved, and they have nothing to do with others!" Before the words landed, there was a thunderstorm in the sky, and even the generals who had been fighting for many years were really shocked!

"Dutong, I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily! Is it a postponement of the march? Kang whispered. Qu Duan didn't say anything, turned and walked inside. Just when Qu Duan decided to march immediately, rain or shine. 100 miles away, Sanchuan Town.

Xu Wei saw that the weather was changing abruptly and the storm was coming, and he was worried that the firearms carried by the army would be damp, so he personally went to inspect it. The tents where the firearms were stacked were covered with oilcloth curtains, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of lime to protect it from moisture, and it was guarded by guards. After Xu Wei checked repeatedly, Fang Shi was relieved and walked out of the camp with Wu Jie. Listening to the sound of muffled thunder, the rain is about to come down

"The rain came just in time, and it rained heavily. Not only did it relieve the summer heat, but Yan'an was also able to take a temporary breather. Wu Jie sighed sincerely.

Xu Wei glanced up at the sky. chuckled: "God finally opened his eyes, go, go back." After speaking, he took his horsewhip and strode away. After Wu Jieyan ordered the soldiers to guard carefully, he also chased after him.

There are very few trained guards in this camp today. Not only was the Hujie army slackened, but a part of the team was sent out to harvest wheat. As soon as the Jin army came, most of the people of Langyan fled, and the crops were left in the field and no one harvested. Now it is the wheat ripening season, and there is no reason to cheapen the Jurchens. Moreover, it is estimated that it will advance further north. The grain should have been preempted by the Jin army.

Groups of soldiers who stretched for hundreds of paces carried wheat and trotted into the camp, and for the first two days they were thrown directly into the field, and naturally some people immediately beat the wheat. But it's going to rain today, so you have to cover it first, otherwise it will rain and soak in the water for two days, and it will be time to sprout.

A thunderbolt thundered defenselessly overhead!

The line carrying the grain was even stagnant, and the frightened soldiers raised their heads and looked at the sky! In an instant, the raindrops the size of beans smashed straight into the face! When the officers saw that it was not good, they raised their throats and ordered the soldiers to quickly collect the food! The rain came quickly, so it was time to catch your breath. The sporadic raindrops turned into a downpour!

Wu Jie pulled the wide sleeves on the official robe to block the top of Xu Wei's head, and urged: "Big handsome, go back to the account." ”

Xu Wei didn't move, but shouted: "Zhou Xiong, come here!" ”

Zhou Xiong, who was dressed neatly, ran quickly, and saluted in the rain: "What do you command?" ”

"Withdraw the troops who are collecting food from outside! Don't grab it, it's useless to grab it back. Ironclad buds! This time, I am in a hurry, and if the brothers who lack doctors and medicines in the army come out, the gains outweigh the losses! When you come back, let the guy cook the hot soup. Drink some of them all! Xu Wei said loudly.

As soon as Zhou Xiong shook his legs, he ran away, shouting as he ran: "Bring the horse!" ”

The rain became heavier and heavier, like a waterfall, Xu Wei and Wu Jie ran back to the Zhongjun tent, which was only a few steps, and they were also drenched with a sea pheasant. After entering the tent, both of them stripped off their official robes. Standing at the entrance of the tent, when I looked outside, it was already blurred more than a dozen paces away. Between heaven and earth, there seems to be a curtain of water, and the mountains in the distance are as hazy and brittle as in the painting.

"This rain is coming fiercely, and it is estimated that it will go quickly." Wu Jie wiped the rain off his face and said casually. "I hope Zhang Dashuai will take advantage of this rain to change his breath and hold on for some more time." Xu Wei's tone was low. It is said that the eastern city of Yan'an has fallen. Now the defenders are holding Xicheng to resist, how long can it last, it is really an unknown worship, if we arrive before, Yan'an will be breached, this trip is in vain.

"Dashuai rest assured, Yan'an is the basis of Zhang Jinglue. How could he take it lightly? Although Duyan Shuaisi suffered a big defeat under Yelu Ma Wu, the main force still existed, and it was not a problem to hold on for a few months. Wu Jie analyzed. After a pause at this point, he added, "I'm only worried that Qu Duan can't work together." ”

"I'm not worried about this, as soon as He Shaobao leaves, Qu Duan will have no backer. If he's a smart guy. It should be known that at this sensitive moment, smart people should keep a low profile and work hard in order to make achievements in the battle to rescue Yan'an, otherwise they will be the target of public criticism. Previously, he charged into battle for the unification of military power and offended many people. Now as long as people catch a reason, the commanders of all roads will attack in groups! If you are on the top, what will you do? Xu Wei said with a smile.

Wu Jie also laughed when he heard this: "That is naturally to remove him to calm the anger of the people." ”

The two talked and laughed for a while, and suddenly saw a person galloping in the heavy rain, trampling on the mud and splashing. waited until he walked in front of him to see that it was Xu Sheng.

"Dashuai, I came back from that place just now, it's really unlucky!" Xu Si shouted as soon as he entered the tent.

When Xu Wei and Wu Jie heard this, they asked in unison, "What?" ”

"Didn't the marshal ask the brothers who collected the wheat to withdraw?" Xu Sheng said while ripping off his clothes. "Yes, what?" Xu Wei said with concern.

"Xu Zhizhi handed over the matter of grain collection to Xu Yan to be responsible, and when my Shaanxi troops withdrew, Zhou Xiong went to inform Xu Yan. But this kid probably wanted to grab an extra load is a load, so he fell behind, and as a result, Xu Sheng shook his head. "As a result, it was a disaster, the Jin army rangers were afraid that as soon as they saw our army withdraw, the Jingyuan soldiers were left alone and killed from the north. The Jingyuan brothers were caught off guard, and hundreds of people were killed and wounded. When the government sent troops to chase after them, they had already run away."

As soon as Xu Wei finished hearing his words, he suddenly turned around and walked inside, stopped on the map shelf, looked up at the combat map for a long time, and finally pointed to a place on the map and said, "Qin Zhidao." ”

The so-called "Qin Straight Road" is an important military passage supervised by the general Meng Tian ordered by Qin Shi Huang, starting from Chunhua County in Xianyang in the south and reaching Baotou in present-day Inner Mongolia in the north of Jiuyuan County, which is more than 1,000 miles long.
