Chapter 637: Turning Hands into Clouds

Ren Dejing listened, a pair of eyes bulging outward were fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Xiao Heda is whimsical, and he is trying to win me over to rebel." Such fools, I can destroy them as easily! ”

"Brother don't have to worry anymore! Tomorrow will send troops to attack, Xiao Heda can be leveled with one drum! "Under the account, there is a person whose eyebrows are quite similar to Ren Dejing, but he is thinner, he is Ren Dejing's younger brother, Ren Decong.

Ren Dejing took a deep breath, at the beginning, he did have some scruples about Xiao Heda. Because that guy is known for his bravery, and his troops are also good at fighting. But these days, through the envoys of both sides, he has been clear of Xiao Heda's reality and reality. Although the other party gathered tens of thousands of horses, firstly, the hearts of the people in Xiazhou fluctuated, secondly, the city defense collapsed, thirdly, there was a shortage of materials, and some of the three points, why should the husband be afraid?

"Tomorrow! The advance cavalry raided the beacon towers everywhere and killed the beacon soldiers to prevent them from transmitting the message! Decong, you personally lead five thousand iron horsemen to Xiazhou City! The rest of the troops followed up and put down the rebels in one fell swoop! If you can capture Xiao Heda alive! I want to send him back to Xingqing and show my military merits! If not, let him die! ”

All the generals under the tent got up at the same time, and Hong Sheng responded: "Yes! ”

At this moment, one person suddenly said: "Unified army, there is another matter that we cannot ignore." ”

Ren Dejing looked at it urgently, it was the famous general of the Xia army, he and Wang Shu last time, together with Li Shifu, unified the army of 80,000 yù to attack Yanyan, but the result was in vain, not to mention, but also let Li Shifu lead the army to the Song Dynasty. After coming back, there was naturally no good fruit to eat.

"What?" Ren Dejing asked coldly.

Xiao Heda claimed to have contacted the Song army and had the support of his commander. Does our army want to guard against the Song army's secret movements? Said in a loud voice.

"Hmph, hum, hum......" Ren Dejing let out a series of yīn Sensen laughs. Song Jun? What about Song Jun? ”

The first time, he and Wang Shu, Li Shifu and others had just entered Yan'an, and they had already hit Yan'an City, and they were facing the Jin Army at that time! How fast is it progressing?

"The Song army has always been a fierce enemy of our army. Now, they have recovered the whole of Shaanxi and driven the Jin people across the Yellow River, with a hundred times more morale and a strong army! Xu Wei, the commander of the army, can control the soldiers and horses of all roads and has great power. Since Xiao Heda has connected him, our army cannot ignore it. "He is a military man, with an upright temperament, and he has something to say.

But when Ren Dejing listened to it, he was very unhappy and rebuked: "So what? Mo said that he connected with the Song army, but what can I do with the Jin army? Xu Wei? Hmph, when I was in Shaanxi, he was just afraid that he was still eating nǎi! ”

"Commander of the army, this should be defended or must be defended." Shifting insisted.

"What to prevent? The Song army also took advantage of Xiao Heda to make a luàn, mixed the water mōfish, seized the two states of Honglong, and stole the Linfu Road. I led the army to quell the rebellion, this is the internal affairs of Great Xia, does he Xu Wei dare to chā? He's just doing something like stealing jīmō dogs! You don't want to talk nonsense, slow down my army's heart! Otherwise, military law engages! "Ren De's salute is fierce.

Seeing this, he didn't dare to reply.

Just when Ren Dejing decided to raid Xiazhou City, although Xiao Heda was also on guard, he had always had a fluke mentality towards Ren Dejing. It's not that he doesn't know that the other party is Lord Xia's grandfather, but he prefers to look at the other side of the other party, that is, he Ren Dejing is a Han Chinese, and he used to be an official in Shaanxi. Now, I have the support of Mrs. Xu, and Ren Dejing should be able to distinguish the situation! Know which side you should be on!

That night, Xia Jun actively prepared. Early the next morning, more than 5,000 elite cavalry gathered at Wanjingkou, of which hundreds of cavalry were used to assault the beacon towers everywhere and kill the beacon soldiers to prevent them from transmitting news. In order to pacify Xiao Heda in one fell swoop, Ren Dejing attached great importance to this matter, and even came to do a surprise for the soldiers in person.

The more than 500 knights were leading their horses in formation. In front of them, Ren Dejing, who was dressed in military uniform, was holding a bowl with one hand, with a féi face, without any expression, his fierce gaze swept over the knights, and he said loudly: "This time to put down the rebellion, since you are the vanguard, you should take the first credit!" This trip must be fast! Open the way for the army! This bowl of wine is for your majesty! Dry! ”

"!" Hundreds of knights roared. With a full sip of drink, these swift cavalrymen quickly stepped on horseback, each holding a spear, and the leading officer raised his spear and shouted.

At this juncture, a ride came in the dust! The knight was running like a fly, and before anyone arrived, the voice came: "Urgent report! Urgent! ”

He roared, causing the soldiers present to look sideways, is this a ghost?

The cavalry rushed to the front, and before the horse could stop, the man had already flown down to the ground and galloped wildly! As he ran, he shouted: "There are soldiers and horses going north from ancient Wuyan City!" ”

This sentence is tantamount to a bolt from the blue! Ren Dejing's two eyeballs almost squeezed out of their sockets! Ancient Uyan City! That's north of the three-way crossing, not far from here! In the early years of the Song and Xia wars, the ancient Wuyan city was a fortress. But later, after the Battle of Hengshan, the vitality of the Xia army was greatly damaged, and the ancient Wuyan City was also abandoned! Now, there are soldiers and horses coming north from this fortress! Needless to say? It's definitely the fucking Western Army!

There is a lot of discussion among the generals all around! Just yesterday, the unified army also boasted that the Song army would only do some things to steal jīmō dogs, and would never have the courage to interfere in the internal affairs of Western Xia. But the voice is still there......

The most hesitant is the hundreds of cavalrymen who are ready to go, especially the officer who is waiting to roar, we, can we go?

Ren Decong saw that his brother's expression was different, so he stepped forward and whispered, "Brother, what should I do?" ”

Ren has to respect the face sè Tieqing! Good for you, Xu Wei! I don't care about my own business, my hand is coming to Daxia! I have to chop off your hand! As soon as he thought of this, he almost burst out a few words from between his teeth: "Pass my order!" ”

Just as everyone was tense and listened to him, Ren Dejing was dumb. He can only spin around in his head. He was originally an official in Shaanxi and knew the depth of the Western Army. Since Xu Wei can be the master of the Western Division, he naturally has his extraordinary. Now that Xiao Heda is not at peace and the Western Army is coming again, he really has no confidence that he can fight at both ends. What's more, now that the situation in Great Xia is in turmoil, the national capital is earthquake, and Xiao Heda has rebelled again, if he fights with the Western Army again, I am afraid that Great Xia will not be able to hold on.

After a while, Ren Dejing suddenly smashed the empty bowl in his hand to the ground, twisted Féi's fat body, turned around and left. Leaving a cadre of civil and military officers looking at each other, at a loss. Seeing this, Ren Decong shouted: "Collect the troops!" ", hurry up and chase my brother.

When he entered the big tent, he found that his brother was sitting on top alone, and his body could not help but rise and fall, obviously extremely angry! He knew his brother's temper, and it was inconvenient for him to make noise at this time, so he sat quietly and waited.

After a while, he only resigned himself to respect: "Xu Wei is too deceitful!" ”

"Indeed." Ren Decong nodded helplessly.

"Although the Lord of Xia was generously gifted by the Jurchens, he promised to contain the Western Army. But it was only the border of Chen Bing, and Mo said that he was attacking, but he didn't even make a provocative move. He was good, first he broke through Renduoquan City, and later surrendered Jisang City, occupying more than 200 miles of land in Great Xia, and recruiting tens of thousands of Tibetan Qiang! We didn't bother with him, he got more and more inches, seized the land of Honglong Erzhou, and won the Linfu Tianwei! It's all like this, it's not enough, and it's actually chā hands on my housekeeping! When Lao Tzu was in Shaanxi, he ......, "Ren Dejing was so angry that his mouth hurt, and he couldn't say anything later."

"Brother is angry, the top priority is how to deal with this situation!" Ren Decong persuaded.

"Alas......" let out a long sigh, and Ren Dejing relieved his evil breath. What can I do? The Western Army must have been recruited by Xiao Heda, and this guy was openly dealing with me, but secretly asked Xu Wei to help. If I don't retreat quickly, I'm afraid I'll be attacked by him! ”

Ren Decong said angrily: "This handful of birds is so cunning!" When he is caught one day, he must be divided into five horses! ”

"That's it, pass on my order, and the whole army will quickly retreat to the Iron Gate Pass." Ren Dejing shook his head and said.

If Xiao Heda heard the conversation between the two brothers, he would probably be confused. He did inform Xu Wei of his intention to conspire against Ren Dejing, but he did not ask the Western Army to send troops to help. Therefore, when he learned that Ren Dejing's army suddenly retreated to Tiemen Pass, he felt inexplicable. It wasn't until Liu Guangshi accepted Xu Wei's order and sent a messenger to him to seriously "remind" him not to seek skin with the tiger in the city of Xiazhou, that he realized something. So he stepped up the collection of grain and grass, pacified the army and civilians, and contacted the old Khitan department.

At the beginning of February, Xingyuan House.

"Xuanfu Xianggong, Staff Officer Ma is back." A small official reported from outside Xu Wei's office hall.

Xu Wei was overjoyed, only to see Ma Kuo raise his head tǐngxiōng, with a hidden smile on his face, and quickly entered the hall, and the deacon bowed and said: "Humble duty to the Taiwei to return to life!" ”

The Zijin Tiger walked faster, and he had to go forward and pick it up: "Brother Zichong has worked hard!" This trip is a great achievement! ”

Ma Kuo finally smiled and said loudly: "In addition to some things to do in Fuzhou, the Jinning Army, Linzhou, and Fengzhou, either surrender or break through, are all in the middle of October!" Although I took a trip to my humble position, I really relied on the power of Xu Jingluo! ”

"You don't have to be modest, although Xu Jingluo is my brother, Gong is Gong, and Sī is Sī. Come and come, all the way, sit down and talk. Xu Wei held his hand and sat down next to him, and asked people to serve tea, and then asked about the details.

Ma Kuo is naturally no matter how big or small, and he tells the story eloquently, especially praising the majestic topography of Fuzhou and the solidity of the castle, which can be used as a frontier fortress.

"The castle of Nafu Prefecture is built on a high plateau, with a cliff like a cut below, and the water of the Yellow River is surging. The east and west ditches are sandwiched, and the north is inherited by the mountains, which is really magical! But there are thousands of soldiers, and they can stop a hundred thousand! As long as Yan'an is stable, Fuzhou will have backup, solid as gold, and as strong as the Great Wall! ”

Xu Wei has always heard that the family is in Fuzhou, which has been going on for hundreds of years. The reason is also understood, saying that the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. But what kind of difficult attack it is, he has not seen it with his own eyes. Now listening to Ma Kuan's detailed words, it is as real as in front of him.

"Linfu is an important place, with the party in the west and the Jurchen in the north, and the party is estimated to be like that. But the Jurchens will definitely not allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch, they will definitely attack the Lin Mansion! However, because of the Yellow River, it was impossible to march from the east of the river, so it could only go out from Yanyun. With Lin Mansion, our army is like an iron bone flower, stretching out to the door of the golden dog's house, let it bite it! At most, it can gnaw a few tooth marks, but it can knock out a mouthful of teeth! What a lucrative deal! Ma Kuo was a little excited.

Xu Wei was also overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Okay, good, Delin Mansion, it's a joy; Liu Guangshi seized the two states of Honglong, all of which are the places of the féi Shu in the Hengshan area, which is the second happiness; The east and west are sandwiched, so that Xiao Heda bows his head to restrain the party, which is the three joys. Three joys are coming! ”

Ma Kuo also laughed, but suddenly, as if he remembered something, his face sank.

"How?" Seeing this, Xu Wei asked.

"There is an incident, and the captain is afraid of bad moods when he hears it." Ma Kuang Road.

"Say." Xu Weidao.

"When I came back from my humble post, I went through the Great Scattered Pass and ran into an office officer from the Qinzhou System and Establishment Division. Listening to him, Wu Jinqing seems to be sick. Ma Kuo said.

Xu Wei shook his head: "Jin Qing is a person, everything is good, but the female sè doesn't know moderation in this aspect." I persuaded him, but I guess he didn't listen. Now he is not a young man in his twenties or thirties, how can he withstand such a toss? Speaking of this, he sighed, "Alas, how can a person who knows the destiny of heaven do this?" I'll write him a letter and talk about it. ”

Ma Kuo shook his head and said, "Tai Lieutenant, Wu Zhizhi is not very sick this time. ”

Xu Wei looked at his expression, his heart trembled, and he frowned and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"Supposedly, hemorrhoptysis began." Ma Kuo whispered.

Xu Wei was taken aback and said in a lost voice: "Really? Exactly, you ask? ”

"How dare you make fun of such a thing? At that time, I didn't believe it, and I asked again and again, and the people said that they couldn't see things for half a month, and they were all lying at home. Ma Kuo said seriously.

Xu Wei was silent for a while, coughing up blood, and when he heard it, he was very sick. For example, when I watched some film and television works in the past, whenever someone coughed a few times in the camera, or covered it with his hand, or wiped it with a white handkerchief, and took it down to take a look, there was a ball of blood, which means that this person will not live long. In addition, the fact that I can't look at things from half a month also proves this.

"No, we have to get this done right away." Xu Wei seemed to be talking to Ma Kuo, and he seemed to be talking to himself. The reason why he is so nervous, of course, is that he cares about his old brother, Wu Jue defected to him as a "team general" back then, and for more than ten years, he has never been separated from him, and he has turned to the north and south, conquering the east and west, relying on his strength. It can be said that although Xu Wei has a large number of generals who can fight in battle, and there is even no shortage of strongmen who bravely champion the three armies, if you really want to talk about merit, no one can compare to Wu Jue.

Secondly, Xu Wei moved the Xuanfu Disposal Department to Xingyuan Mansion, and he also worked here, and the Shaanxi Preparation and Disposal Division was presided over by Wu Jue, the deputy envoy of the system. He couldn't see things for half a month, and this was not a small problem.

After thinking for a while, Tsushima Kuo said: "You have worked all the way, and you go to rest, you don't have to come to work tomorrow." Ma Kuo thanked him and left.

"Call Wu Gong in."

Wu Jue's eldest son, Wu Gong, served as the "Jiedu Palm" and belonged to Xu Wei's "confidential secretary". His father was sick, and as the eldest son, he should go to the shrine. Xu Wei then ordered him and a person to be sent to Qinzhou, but instructed him to report Wu Jue's illness as soon as possible.

On this day, Xu Wei woke up on time, opened his eyes, and his eyes were black. He lifted the quilt, got down to put on his shoes, and then went to the table and lit the lamp. Only then did he return to his job, yawning and getting dressed at the same time.

That's right, Xu Jiu slept alone. This is also a helpless thing, Zhang Jiujiu wants to take her daughter, although Xu Yan is old enough to be alone, but Xu Yan still has to sleep in her mother's arms. And Zhang Jiujiu is also a little stubborn, and resolutely does not let anyone except her bring a baby, including nǎi Niang. Zhu Jilan, with a big belly, slept with her with a chuáng, purely asking for fire. As a result, Taiwei Xu could only be assigned here.

It's just that Xu Wei is a little stinky and sick, and he has been in the barracks for a long time, and he is not used to being served. If he called a shì girl to change his clothes or something, he would only feel uncomfortable. I'm not old enough to tremble, am I?

After getting dressed and tying his belt, he walked to the door and reached out and buckled it. There was a small cubicle outside, and the shì girl slept in it, and to be honest, Xu Wei still listened to the movement outside intentionally or unintentionally before falling asleep these nights.

After a while, there was a sound outside, and when the door opened, a slender figure appeared. With a basin in his hand, he brought the hot water to the table, and then stood quietly and waited.

Xu Wei wrung out the cloth towel, and after washing his face, he sat down straight. The shì woman stood behind him and combed his hair. In this era, men's hairstyles are much simpler than women's, you only need to comb your hair straight, tie it up in a bun, and don't tie it up.

"Why don't you like to talk?" Xu Wei suddenly asked while she was combing her hair.

The girl probably didn't expect the captain to say this, or maybe she hadn't woken up yet, anyway, she was startled, and with a shake of her hand, the wooden comb scraped Xu Wei's scalp. He didn't do much himself, but he shocked a little girl.

"Are you combing your hair or peeling your skin?" Xu Wei asked with a smile.

Seeing this, the shì girl was relieved, and replied a little timidly: "The maid doesn't know what to say. ”

"Say whatever you want, like you maids or something." Xu Wei said casually.

"Oh......" shì thought as she combed it. After a while, he spoke: "Yesterday, Fangxiu in front of Erniang said that she could write, but we didn't believe it, so we made a bet with her, and we lost ten yuan; Also, Bai Ganniang's son married a concubine and settled in the area of Goolan; Also, the ...... in front of Madame."

Xu Wei really couldn't listen to it anymore, and said with a wry smile: "Comb your hair." "This woman's world is so different from that of a man! Men get together in one place, either talking about current politics or career, who is so idle that they go to Zhang's family and the Li family? Why are women so keen on these things?

After freshening up and tidying up, the sky began to brighten. Xu Wei went out and planned to eat. At this time, it is estimated that Zhang Jiujiu has already set up a table.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the dining room, the doorman guarding the door came over and said, "Tai Lieutenant, this is the letter that the villain received last night, but I thought that the Tai Wei should sleep, so I didn't dare to disturb it." ”

Xu Wei secretly said in his heart, I am alone now, what is there to disturb? Receiving the letter, and seeing the cover in front of him, he immediately came to his senses. Because it was obviously Xu Liu's handwriting.
