In the early morning, the large camp outside Xiangzhou City, stretching for several miles, gathered here, the 100,000 military horses of Liu Yanqing, the commander of the soldiers and horses of the southern line.

Outside the camp gate, all kinds of stalls, all kinds of people, etc., convoys, horses, military formations, people, foot power, bustling, and endless streams.

Those girls who borrowed private houses and did some half-closed business deliberately dressed in obscene clothes in the courtyard early in the morning. attracted passing soldiers and people to whistle one after another, throwing a wink, laughing a few words, and the men thought that they had paid their wages at night, and they would come to make her slap no matter what.

On the other side, there are wine shops and restaurants, drinking tea and listening to music, fortune telling, letter writing, weapons and armor, and so on. At the end of the day, more than 100,000 people eat horses and chew, and the consumption is a huge amount of money, and everyone is staring at this piece of fragrant food, so this temporary camp is more lively than the average city.

Yaozhou's observation envoy, Liu Guangshi, who was under the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses of Yanyan Road, received a report that his younger brother Liu Guanglu had been captured early in the morning, and was shocked.

This Liu Guanglu is the meat of his father's heart, considering that he is still inexperienced and lacks combat skills, so he arranged for him to go to Zhending to train daring soldiers, which can be regarded as accumulating some qualifications.

Now this kid is actually bold and has gone into the mountains to attack the thieves, so that he is trapped in the thieves' den, and life and death are unpredictable. didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly reported to his son Liu Yanqing.

In the big tent, on the couch, Liu Yanqing hugged the dancer with white flowers and slept sweetly, and the spring was thick. Last night, the singing and dancing were endless all night, and now it has not been cleaned up, and Liu Yanqing will not receive guests at this time.

But it's about his own brother, and it's his father's heart, Liu Guangshi pushed open the guard in front of the tent, lifted the curtain and entered the tent. The guards could only shout loudly, but they did not dare to stop them.

But after this noise, Liu Yanqing woke up. Seeing his son come in, he and the dancer were naked and unsightly, and scolded angrily, "When you become a ruler, you don't know what military law is like?" ”

"Daddy, it's really urgent" Liu Guangshi complained in his heart, don't say that the report is too late, "The fourth brother went into the mountains to suppress the bandits the day before yesterday, and now he is trapped in Erlongzhai, and the thieves ask for a ransom of 5,000 yuan!" ”

"Bastard!"

Liu Yanqing was startled, anxious and angry. The fourth son is handsome and merry, and he is the most popular with his family, but now he is in danger, how can he not be in a hurry? Think that the bandit was so bold that he actually kidnapped the children of the Liu family, and dared to ask for money, he was really not afraid of an army of 100,000?

"Dressing"

The two dancers did not shy away from Liu Guangshi's presence, got up naked, and hurriedly helped Liu Yanqing get dressed, and said the words of Jiren Tianxiang to appease. Liu Yanqing was upset and sent the dancers to pack up and hurry out.

Immediately ascended to the tent, the three links were beaten one hundred and eight drums, and the officials above the rank of captain arrived. Everyone didn't know why for a while, and they all speculated, could it be that they wanted to go north and fight with the Khitan?

Liu Yanqing motioned to everyone to be calm and let Liu Guangshi explain the situation. Everyone suddenly realized that it was Si Shao who was arrested, and it seemed that the handsome man was angry. You always just say how to fight, it's not easy to deal with the little thief.

Tong Guan Baigou was ambushed for hundreds of miles in a battle, and almost fled to the Daimyo's Mansion, and 100,000 horses and horses on the east and west lines were tossed clean, and he couldn't live in panic. Now that Liu Yanqing is in charge of the soldiers and horses of the southern front, he has an army of 100,000 troops, and it is when the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and there are naturally more people who are in charge.

At that moment, two tiger generals jumped out, one was Gao Shixuan, and the other was Wang Yuan, who stepped forward to ask for troops to suppress the bandits. Gao Shixuan is loyal and brave and good at fighting, often taking the lead, and is known as the flower name of the Red Tiger.

Wang Yuan has a lot of rhetoric, and he has always been high-eyed and low-handed, and to put it bluntly, he is confused and bold. However, Wang Yuan has a distant sister-in-law, Liu Yanqing accepted him as a concubine, and the two families are somewhat related.

Liu Yanqing was naturally happy when he saw that someone was willing to go out, so he ordered Gao Shixuan to lead five hundred light horsemen to set off immediately, sweep down Erlongzhai, and save the fourth son.

Then ordered Wang Yuan to lead 5,000 foot soldiers with grain and grass to camp in Yizhou first, so as to respond to Gao Shixuan's preparation, and at the same time prepare for the army to go north soon.

Liu Guangshi suddenly remembered that Yue Fei, who had exterminated the giant thieves Tao Jun and Jia Jin the day before yesterday, asked Yue Fei to follow Gao Shixuan to Erlong Mountain.

Liu Yanqing also remembered that the two thieves of Tao Jia were unscrupulous, looting, robbing, killing people and setting fires, and gathered five or six hundred people in the mountains of Xiangzhou for a while. I also went into the crackdown, but with little success, I didn't expect this young daring warrior to capture two thieves with only a hundred or so people.

Yue Fei came to Liu Guangshi with a letter of recommendation from Liu Guanglu, and Liu Guangshi gave him some equipment or something and left him alone. Unexpectedly, Yue Fei recruited some volunteers, plus the original fifty daring soldiers, and actually used a combination of internal and external special operations techniques to capture all the giant thieves in one go.

Liu Yanqing immediately summoned Yue Fei and the others, although he didn't like Yue Fei's appearance, but Yue Fei was strong in combat, three bows and eight crossbows to play casually. I had to encourage a few words of encouragement, rewarded him with some property, and asked him to follow Gao Shixuan to Erlong Mountain, and don't come back if he can't save Liu Guanglu.

Yue Fei returned to Xiangzhou this time to lead his brothers Wang Gui and Yao Zheng, who were mixed together, and with the help of these two good players, he was like a tiger with wings. also deliberately went back to Tangyin to visit his parents, wife and children, and recruited nearly 100 fellow martial arts fellows, calling himself Tangyindu.

Where can Gao Shixuan afford to dare to fight, but Liu Guangshi's face can't be ignored. So he allocated a hundred and ten horses and swords, guns and armor, and now the young men in Tangyin Capital exchanged their guns and guns, and their morale was high, and Yue Fei was secretly happy.

Wang Gui and Yao Zheng saw that Xu Qing did not come back with Yue Fei, and quietly inquired about the situation. Yue Fei pulled the team by himself, and he also had some sense of saying goodbye to Xu Qing, and immediately told Xu Qing about his defection to the Han Wangliu Coalition Barracks.

Wang Gui Yao was righteous and angry, and was regarded as a confidant by Yue Fei, and he was appointed as the leader of the two teams, so he supported Yue Fei to return to Zhending to fight Erlongshan. said that if you persuade Xu Qing to return to Tangyindu, your brothers will work together, isn't it more comfortable than the six associations?

If they knew that Xu Qing had been appointed as the lieutenant of Yong, and the reward of Xiongbao Erzhou would be even higher, I don't know how they would feel.

This time, Liu Yanqing offered a very high reward, killing a thief five times, the leader of twenty times, and the bandit leader five hundred times, as long as anyone can save his son, a thousand times, and immediately moved three times.

In short, the three brothers Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Yao Zheng were full of confidence, followed Gao Shixuan all the way, and rushed to Erlong Mountain overnight.

The old breed sent someone to send a wedding gift, and also brought a letter.

Han Wang dismantled it, mainly to say that around Xiongzhou, he found that there were more Khitan sentinels, mainly the men and horses of Xiao Gan, the king of the six departments, and judged that there might be military operations in the Khitan in the near future. Remind Han Wang to keep up with training at all times and pay attention to the movements in Yizhou, north of Baozhou.

This Xiao Gan is really not afraid of death, thinking that he is the god of war?

Xiongzhou Baozhou has been fortified by layers of old species, and it is difficult to break without 20,000 or 30,000 people, how can Xiao Gan have so many people to attack the city and consume?

In fact, at this time, Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan were engaged in a tearing war in the palace of Yanjing.

Yelu Dashi advocated a rapid westward advance, preferably across the Tianshan Mountains to reach the Western Regions, avoiding the Jurchens and the Southern Dynasties from both sides, and waiting for the opportunity to restore the glory of the Khitan. Let the Jurchens shift their attention from us to the Southern Dynasty. When the other side loses both. Unite the Southern Dynasties with troops against the Jurchens.

Xiao Gan scoffed, this was a complete escape idea! We must hold on to Yanjing, where the terrain is favorable to us, enough to withstand 50,000 Jurchen cavalry. As for the Southern Dynasties, no matter how strong the soldiers and horses are, they are only treated as local chickens and dogs.
