Summoning the right household guard should have returned to the defense area to lead the military affairs, but Zhao Huan. After the discussion of the martial arts hall was completed, he instructed the three generals of Zhe, Zhang, and Xu not to leave Beijing for the time being, and to be on call at any time. This makes Zhi Yanzhi and Uncle Zhang anxious enough, now the 100,000 army in Huazhou, who is the commander? Yao Pingzhong! Before Li Gang was dismissed, he had commented on several young generals who were deeply trusted by the officials. Among them, Yao Xiyan's comment is "full of ambition, courage and resourcefulness"

This guy still has the ability. In that year, he fought under Tong Guan and ranked first in succession. With thousands of horses, dare to fight against 70,000 thieves. Now he is in charge of 100,000 kings. I don't know what will happen. And now he is not facing a thief, but the elite soldiers of the second prince of the Jin Kingdom. Don't be like saving Taiyuan, you are eager to make meritorious contributions, and you can cause any trouble.

For Xu Wei now, what is the most extravagant? Answer: Sleep, sleep well!

Anyway, the official family has a life. For the time being, he will not leave Beijing, and the Hujie Township Army is also resting. With the position of Wu Jiequan as the "Marquis of the Military Capital", he is still relieved. No, I slept until dawn and went out of the door to take a look. The spring rain has also stopped. The air is fresh and humid, and the old trees in the garden are sprouting, everything shows that the harsh winter is finally over and everything is about to recover.

Little official, the fourth lady said, don't wake you up, the cook is preparing the meal. "Strange aunt keeps coming and going like a constant, and you never know when she'll be behind you. In the past, Xu Wei always felt strange. How can a servant woman be so intimate with herself? Later, I learned that she was her nurse. Xu's mother was sick, and she died not long after giving birth to him. He grew up eating the milk of this strange aunt.

"Oh, good." Xu Wei nodded. Just as he was about to go to breakfast, he saw that the nurse was staring at him intently, with a smile on the corner of her mouth. He was so appalled that he smeared the soles of his feet with lard. Fling up one's heels.

The petty officials are out of the picture. Well done and big! Madame, you have a spirit in heaven, and you can rest in peace. The smile on the nurse's face was still there, but tears were already dripping from her eyes.

Xu Wei came to the dining room. My father and brother thought they were going to the government office on business, and my sister-in-law was not there. I am also happy to be idle, drinking gruel, nibbling on pasta, and then taking a bite of side dishes, the taste is called a beauty. Since fighting the "Battle of Xujiazhuang", he has never been so comfortable.

"That's life." Xu Wei muttered to himself. was eating with relish, when he suddenly heard a servant outside calling his husband, and then heard the voice of the fourth brother asking if he had gotten up. The servant replied that he was eating, and before he could finish speaking, Xu Sheng had already stepped into the dining room.

"It's better to come back for lunch at this point, right?" Xu Wei quipped.

Xu Sheng's face couldn't hide the excitement on his face, strode to the table, and slammed his fist on the table. Xu Weizheng lowered his head to drink gruel, and when he beat it, the soup splashed on his face. With a wry smile: "I said fourth brother, who recruited you early in the morning?" ”

Xu Sheng sat down and said excitedly: "It's here!" It's finally here! ”

"Who's coming?" Xu Wei knew that his brother had always been steady, and it was the first time he had seen such a gaffe. What's going on here? Wait, isn't it sticky and crossed the river? It's not right, Sticky Han crossed the river, why is the fourth brother so excited? Could it be,,

"Shaanxi Wangshi!" Xu Sheng's eyes were shining, "Shaanxi Fifth Road Xuanfu envoy Fan Zhixu led an army of 200,000 troops, and he is close to the Yellow River!" ”

Xu Wei was really shocked, and he couldn't care about the soup on his face, so he hurriedly asked, "How much?" ”

"Shaanxi Five Road 200,000 troops! Huanqing Shuai Wang Yi, Xihe Shuai Wang Yi, Jingyuan Shuai Xi Gong, Qin Fengshuai Zhao Dian, Duyan Shuai Zhang Shen, these five road marshals gathered under Fan Zhixu. It's overwhelming! At the moment, I am afraid that a war has started with the Kouhe Jin Army! Xu Sheng said that he was excited, and he actually got up again.

When Xu Wei first listened. Also excited. Just imagine, 200,000 Shaanxi troops came to help, and the west road of the Jin army was over. And the Jin army was trapped in Huazhou City on the east road, and the second southern invasion of the Jurchens would end in the annihilation of the entire army! To know. Because of the particularity and importance of Shaanxi's strategic position, it has always been the basis for resisting the party. The imperial court stationed a large army here, that is, the world-famous Western Army! Now, the five-way handsome is waving the king of diligence, and his momentum can be regarded as shocking!

But the enthusiasm for boiling blood flashed and disappeared, slowly. Hee River? Jingyuan? Qin Feng? The last commander of Xihe was Yao Gu. He brought soldiers and horses to King Qinwang in Beijing last year. Qin Feng was the commander of the plant, and the old man is now sticking to it in Taiyuan. As for Jingyuan Road, not to mention, isn't the eldest brother Xu Yuan the deputy marshal of Jingyuan? When the Jin army invaded the south last time, the three of them rushed to Tokyo with their own troops and horses.

In other words, at least three of the five marshals under Fan Zhixu's command are understaffed. And how many more of these 200,000 troops squeezed the water dry?

"Fourth brother, is there really 200,000?" Xu Wei squinted and asked.

Seeing his younger brother like this, Xu Sheng sat down and smiled: "Naturally, it is a claim." But according to my estimate, there are still seventy or eighty thousand. Halfway through his words, he shook his head slightly, "This is not the Hebei Army!" It's the Western Army! Shaanxi's five-way serious Western Army! I'm afraid I'm going to be driven into the river to feed the fish! ”

It is no wonder that Xu Sheng is so confident, and the combat strength of the Western Army is well known to the world. The officers and men of the Western Army can endure hardships. Dare to sacrifice, Shaanxi Zhulu has been operating since Fan Yong, and the name of the strong army has been hanging for a hundred years! The Western Army is in addition to these five regular armies. The others, regardless of the soldiers, village soldiers, and archers, have fought fiercely with the party and the Qingtang Zhuqiang for more than a hundred years! It is a tiger and wolf army that can enter the field and expand the border, and retreat to defend the territory!

Xu Xian also seemed to be infected by his brother's emotions, and nodded and said: "Taiyuan is not keen, and Muhan must leave troops to besiege the city." He's more rampant than he is."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Sheng grabbed the conversation: "He is bound to be more moldy than he is inseparable!" "Speaking of the roots, the three brothers Xu Mao, Xu Zhang, and Xu Shao all served in the Western Army at the beginning, and if you really want to trace the origin, the Xu family is also from the Western Army.

The brothers happily discussed for a while, and Xu Wei suddenly asked, "Fourth brother, why did you run home if you didn't do your job?" ”

Listen to my brother ask about this. Xu Sheng said a little proudly: "Pack up and prepare to lead the troops to the battle." Although he is a compatriot of the same mother, he is an elder brother after all, and in the past two years, seeing that his younger brother has made many military exploits, and his official rank has been on par with himself, Xu Sheng is still somewhat apprehensive in his heart. Even this time he robbed the gold army grain camp, he also cooperated with Xu Wei to fight. Therefore, when it comes to the fact that he is going to lead troops to the battle, he will inevitably have a somewhat smug tone.

"Oh? Did the official family issue an edict to attack the Jin army in Huazhou? Xu Wei asked. If this is the case, it is most likely that Orihiko is in charge. The fourth brother is under him, and he can show his talents.
