Chapter 184: Ambition
Seeing that the first month of the second year of Jingkang was about to fight for the sect, and the Song and Jin battles were unfolding in the direction of the Liyue World Knife, the three brothers of the Xu family in Tunbing Gong County breathed a sigh of relief. Sticky Han retreated thirty miles north to camp, although Xu Sheng judged that he wanted to withdraw his troops and return to China, but Xu Wei suggested. Or don't be careless. If you wake up and pee on the bed, it's not worth it, forget it. Xu Yuan followed his words and ordered all troops to be vigilant and pay attention to the dynamics of the Jin Army at all times. Because the Jin army retreated north, the western army came again, and the three tigers of Xumen joined forces. Continue to confront the Jin army.
On the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month, Xu Yuan and his two younger brothers were inspecting the wounded. In the first battle of Gongxian, more than half of the Changjie troops transferred from Huazhou were killed, and less than 20,000 people remained, and thousands of wounded. The people of Gong County were grateful to the Xu brothers for resolutely resisting when they abandoned the city and fled, once they learned that the Jin army had retreated north. Immediately go out of the city to work the army to help bury the martyrs and treat the wounded. Wherever the three brothers of the Xu family went, the people, regardless of the old and the young, saluted and praised endlessly.
At this time. Hujie's deputy commander Zhang Qing hurried over with the military medical officer to help, Xu Yuan saw it, and asked with a smile: "The fourth and the ninth, this is Zhang San, the head of Zhuangxi, right?" ”
"Exactly. He followed me to Xia Jin, and all the things in the army's grain and grass logistics. It's all in his hands. Xu Wei replied.
"I remember Zhang Sanshan shooting, how do you let people take care of money and food? Didn't you force an iron man to become a housekeeper? Xu Yuan laughed. Seemingly. Sticky Han's retreat to the north really made him put down his heart. There has been a lot of laughter for two days.
Xu Wei shook his head with a bitter face and said: "I don't want to, but money and food are the top priority, and the commanders at all levels in the Hujie Army." Most of them are illiterate, he is careful and cautious, and can only entrust to him.
As he was talking, Yang Yan rushed over as if he was burning his buttocks, and after saluting, he pointed to the outside of the camp and said: "There is an officer, who said that it is the front jurisdiction of the Commander of the Pulse Yan Division, and the order of the Shaanxi Five-Way System Envoy is passed on, so that the capital will be controlled." The deputy capital commander, as well as the Hu Jiedu commander, went to meet the envoys. ”
Makeover? The Song army military system, the system envoy is a temporary regional military commander, and the western army is led by Fan Zhixu, the Shaanxi Five-way Xuanfu envoy, even if he wants to summon us to see him, he should give an order, what is the matter with this system envoy? Besides, we are subordinate to the Gyeonggi Establishment Division, why did you, the commander of Shaanxi, order us?
"The Jin army has not withdrawn, the battle situation has not yet been finalized, and we and the western army must work together. See it, at most, it is to sing a big fat promise to Lord Fan, and make a quartet. Xu Yuan was afraid that his two younger brothers would have emotions, so he deliberately understated it.
How do you know that Xu Sheng said with a smile: "Our Xu family is from the Western Army in the final analysis, and the eldest brother was the deputy marshal of Jingyuan in the past, so it is only right to go to see the old robe."
Xu Wei then continued: "I also want to see the lineup of the Western Army." ”
"It's a lot of business." Xu Yuan burst into another burst of hearty laughter.
Di Mountain, the watershed of the Yellow River and the Luo River, although this mountain is not as good as the five mountains, but it is also very famous in the world. According to legend, the Taoist ancestor Laozi once made alchemy here, and there was a Shangqing view on the top of the mountain to worship the Taoist patriarch. Another reason why Dishan is famous is that there are dozens of imperial tombs from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, as well as the burial tombs of the royal family and ministers. The total number should be more than 1,000. Therefore, there is the common temptation "born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, dead and buried in the North Mansion". Moreover, the evening view of the mountain is one of the eight views of Luoyang.
Ordinarily. This mountain is not only the place where Daozu Laozi cultivated, but also the place where the emperors of the past dynasties rested, so it should be solemn and solemn. But right now, a large army has set up camp at the foot of the mountain, and at any time you can see the samurai with bright armor and guns, chairs and knives patrolling endlessly, adding a few killings to the mountain!
The three brothers of the Xu family took the guards and galloped all the way to the bottom of the mountain, but they did not appreciate the leisure and leisure of the places of interest at this time, but went straight to the camp under the mountain.
When there were still two or three hundred paces away, Xu Yuan pointed to the Western Army camp and said: "You see, this camp is quite orderly, and Fan Zhixu still has such skills?"
In Xu Wei's previous impression, wasn't the so-called ancient military camp a place where tents were erected for soldiers to sleep? But when I came to the Song Dynasty and became a commander of the army, I realized that camps and camps are two concepts. Not only should there be tents for the soldiers to rest, and for the materials to be stacked, which is called a "battalion." "There should also be temporary fortifications, such as fences, horse rejections, watchtowers, which are called "villages." "Before going to war, to judge the level of military attache's military quality, one is to see how well his formation is arranged. The second is to see how well he camped. The strictness of the Western Army camp in front of him can be regarded as an eye-opener for the Xu family, but his own military camp is not so disciplined.
When he arrived at the entrance of the camp, he was stopped by a guard, and the commander of the army, regardless of who came, directly asked in an arrogant tone: "Who is coming, report the military registration."
Outcome. The three brothers reported one after another: "Xu Yuan, Xu Sheng, Xu Wei, I was ordered to come to see you." ”
When the commander heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and then asked again, "Who?" ”
Xu Yuan frowned, fortunately, he was in a good mood these days, and he smoked without raising the whip, but he also stretched his face and shouted: "You screwed up, right?" Don't have long ears? Xu Yuan, Xu Sheng, and Xu Wei were ordered to come and see! ”
As soon as these words fell, not only the commander-in-chief, but even the dozens of guards at the camp gate also looked sideways. This Captain Shen Hu's nephew, Xu Yuanguo, the commander of the Gonggu garrison in front of him, is a dignified enemy, and Xun Sheng is also dignified, but this Xu Wei is also a little younger, right? Is this twenty years old? Isn't it a rumor in the army that Tai Lieutenant Ji Zi Xu Wei burned the grain and grass of the Jindong Road Army with a fire, so that the second prince of Dajin Kingdom would not be in a desperate situation? That's him?
Xu Si and Xu Jiu are okay to say, but Xu Da is also the commander of the one side who is about to "build a festival", see this group of soldiers. looked at it with straight eyebrows, and didn't go to report, so he didn't get angry. Fan Zhixu is trying to deliberately humiliate the three of my brothers? Straight thief, you came with a five-way army, overwhelming, but the army was defeated and stopped. If you fucking fight for a little bit of anger, why did the three of us brothers fight so hard? Who do you dare to put on this shelf now?
The whip in his hand was raised, but he still hadn't pulled it down. But seeing that the commander of the army clenched his fists, his waist was almost broken, and he said respectfully: "The captain is in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the three officials will go by themselves." ”
Captain? Xu Yuan couldn't pull this whip anymore. Taiwei is the highest rank of a military minister, and Fan Zhixu is a civil minister, so it is naturally impossible to be a taichen. Who is in charge of the Western Army now? Why are there so many captains coming out? The captain of the court, you can count it with your fingers, what is it? Or Wang Zongchu?
Full of doubts. There was no way to solve the puzzle, Geren immediately left the guards, got off the war horse, and hurried to the Chinese army's tent.
to the front of the account. The guard stopped again, and after asking for his identity, he went in to report it, and then came out, saying that the captain had been summoned.
As soon as I stepped into the tent. First of all, I saw dozens of civil and military officials in the tent, all sitting below. The waist is straight. Everyone was in good spirits. Looking up further, there was a veteran sitting in the boat of the handsome case, wearing armor all over his body, and his beard was half white. A face is full of scars, is it a wrinkle or a scar? This appearance is already terrifying enough, and the eyes of this veteran are shining brightly, making people look up.
Met him. Brother Xu stood in the tent and forgot to salute. One by one, just like the soldiers at the gate of the camp just now, staring at them in a daze. Am I right? Blinded? This, this, this not
Just when they were at a loss, the high-headed veteran had already asked, "You three were soldiers on the first day?" ”
That's right, this is the voice of the second uncle! However, Xu Yuan was still not at ease, and looked back at the two younger brothers, and saw that they were all full of surprise! Only then did he hurriedly salute and said: "Humble Xu Yuan, I have seen it, but how to call it, I naturally call my uncle at home, and I need to be honored for my position, thinking that whether it is the official of the herald or the pawn of the camp, I call it "Tai Lieutenant" Isn't it the second uncle who has been promoted? So he said tentatively: "Have you seen the captain? ”
Behind him, Xu Si and Xu Jiu also followed suit, and Taiwei Xu introduced to the full tent Wenwu: "These three are the commanders of the Gongxian Army in front, Xu Yuan, Xu Sheng, and Xu Wei. ”
For a while, the originally quiet big tent suddenly became lively. Xu Yuan used to be the deputy envoy of Jingyuan Road. Most of the Chinese martial arts recognize it. Therefore, these senior commanders praised Taiwei for giving birth to a good son. Xu Sheng and Xu Wei were not only born with dignified appearances, but also did such a big thing, it can really be described as a tiger father without a dog!
Xu Zhang was not humble, he just smiled. After a while, they dispersed the tent and the civil and military affairs, leaving the three sons and nephews.
It's obvious. What the three brothers want to know most now is, why is the old man here? How did you become a captain? Xu Zhang naturally understood in his heart, and without waiting for them to ask, he urgently issued an edict from the official family, ordered him to enter the official lieutenant, and made a detour to Huangguan to take charge of the military power.
Hearing this, Geren was pleasantly surprised. I said, the Jin army used thousands of iron cavalry for the first time to crush the Western Army of the Five Routes. This time I went again. But he bumped into a blue nose and swollen face, Fan Zhixu is a scholar, and he definitely doesn't have this ability. It turned out that it was our old man who came out of the mountain again. It's really a veteran, a top two, no wonder Sticky Han hurriedly retreated.
didn't allow his son and nephew to ask more, Xu Zhang said bluntly: "Summoning your three brothers here today is to discuss one thing. Sticky Han retreated thirty miles north, you know? ”
"Yes." Xu Yuan nodded, head.
"At that time, he was caught between the two armies, and he was afraid that he would be attacked by the enemy on his back, so he retreated north to avoid our edge, which was reasonable. But according to my estimates. The Jin army was even preparing for the northern retreat of the river. Do you have any ideas? Xu Zhang looked at the three juniors and asked.
Xu Yuan and Xu Sheng were silent, and the Jin army invaded south, trampled on the two rivers, and invaded the emperor. Now that we have withdrawn, our purpose has been achieved. What else can you think? Slow! The old man said this, it will never be for no reason, is it,,
"Second Uncle is thinking," Xu Yuan wanted to speak and stopped.
Xu Zhang stared at him. Zhengse said: "Jin Kou is hideous, all the martial artists of my generation will not stand against him!" There must be a heart of life and death, and you dare to win! The Jurchens drove straight into the country, and they simply treated me as if they were nothing, such a great shame, how could they not think of revenge? Sticky Han thought about it beautifully, and the offensive went smoothly and he fought, and he withdrew without any hope of victory. Come if you want, leave if you want, there are such cheap things in the world? Let the tiger return to the mountain today, he will eventually be in trouble! I mean, if you can't catch the tiger, you will be seriously injured! ”
