However, this weakness is only a little effort, Yao Gu quickly opened his eyes again, glanced at the generals, and said in an extremely low voice: "Brothers, don't blame me for violating the order of the old general...... I am also for the Western Army, everyone must take the lead in this battle, destroy Yanjing City in one fell swoop, capture what bird Yelu Dashi, disobey the order, once the battle is not effective, everyone knows what the end is. In Yao Gu's tone, there was a hint of sadness.

Everyone listened to it with awe-inspiring hearts, got up together, and responded loudly: "Obey the orders of the Prime Minister." Yao Gu also stood up, kept his weakness and shaking emotions in his heart at this moment, and ordered loudly: "Serve Ben Shuai in armor!" ”

In the rain, the old Xianggong camp was also shrouded in darkness.

Inside the camp, there was no sound, and even the subordinates rarely moved, only the armored guards, still in various places outside, standing frozen in the rain and fog, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps treading water outside, but it was a military general in his thirties, wearing a military attache uniform, who was let in by the people guarding the gate outside, and accompanied him into the inner courtyard in the rain.

In the blink of an eye, the old man's henchman and banner officer also came out of the inner courtyard, hurriedly caught the military attaché, and under the gaze of many ironclad guards, he went straight into the inner courtyard, and the inner courtyard was also dark, only where the old seed was, the lights were lit, and in the rain and mist, a dim light was projected.

After all, the old seed is an old man, when he was young, he killed people like hemp, but when he was old, he was afraid of the dark, and he didn't turn on the lights every night, no matter how he tossed and turned, he couldn't fall asleep, and the flag officer didn't wait to pass on the old seed first, and took the military attache and strode into the inner tent where the old seed was.

The old man was leaning on the couch, doing nothing, just closing his eyes and recuperating. It was raining heavily today, and he was covered with a thick quilt again, and the more thin and haggard he looked, the flag officer led the military attache to stride in, and alarmed the old seed, and he glanced sideways. Nor do they speak.

The flag officer was already drenched, and he was trembling slightly when he spoke, and he didn't know whether it was cold or urgent.

"Old Xianggong, there is movement in the Xihe Army, and Yao Xianggong gathers the generals of the Xihe Army to discuss matters in the military tent."

The military attache knelt down with a plop, and at the same time reported loudly: "The old Xianggong installed us in the Xihe Army that day, and I had a commander deputy envoy in the Chinese army under the direct leadership of Yao Xianggong, and I saw with my own eyes that all the generals gathered in the army to discuss matters. Xiao Yao Xianggong was very close to the Chinese army, and I heard a little rumor that the Xihe Army was going to fight alone, and it was easy to get out of the chaos to sweep away the rebellious army, so I rushed here to report to the old Xianggong. ”

Lao Chong didn't say a word, slowly turned over and sat up, looked at the military attache and said gently, "You did a good job...... Let me go down and rest, and put you in place on that day. It is also to be able to effectively grasp the military situation, so that the western army can be like an arm. I didn't expect it to come in handy today......"

The military attache knew that the water inside was deep, and he brought it out from the old seed, although he didn't think there was anything wrong with the Xihe army going to war, but Yao Gu's violation of the order and acting without authorization was a big deal, and he was loyal. Rushing back and forth in every possible way, the responsibility is already over at this moment, and other things are not something he can mix.

He got up after kowtowing, and the flag officer naturally arranged for someone to take him down. The old man looked at his henchman flag officer again, and ordered softly: "Send someone to inform Tang Huai, let him inform Yang Ling, the situation here in the Xihe Army is like this, and the old man can't help him suppress his own soldiers and horses, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the soldiers." ”

At this moment, the old man finally knew what he was worried about, the Western Army was up and down, intertwined, and at this time, his vision was already short-sighted, and everyone was thinking about his own piece of cake, and it was no longer the Western Army with a simple temperament.

The flag officer agreed, and hesitated: "Can't the old minister make up a military order, just take advantage of the situation and go out with the whole army and sweep away Yanjing?" The old breed is a father, why do you have to give it to Yang Ling cheaply? ”

The old man smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "You don't understand." The flag officer looked at the old seed supporting himself, and suddenly knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "Old seed Xianggong, it is raining so hard, you have to go out, how can your body support it?" Can't you take a step back and follow what Yao Xianggong wants? Sweeping Yanjing is also a great achievement. ”

The old man stood up with a smile and walked two steps, patting his loyal flag officer on the shoulder twice: "You have been following the old man for twenty years, right?" The Western Army is old...... Without Yang Ling in front, the Western Army is only afraid that the end will be even worse...... And if something happens in the future, when the Western Army is about to be destroyed, maybe only Yang Ling can pull the Western Army...... And the old man has been a Song Chen all his life, so he has to think about the future of the Great Song Dynasty...... It's ridiculous to talk about it, the old man is already precarious, what do you want to do so far? ”

He said in a faint voice, almost softly: "Prepare pen and ink, I have a letter to bring to Yang Ling, and then I will go out and send someone to send an order to Tang Huai, and come back after the arrangement, and serve the old man in armor, I will go to find Yao Gu, and the two of us have not been close to each other for a long time." ”

After nightfall, the rainstorm became heavier and heavier, and in the barracks of the Xihe Army, 500 light cavalry and 5,000 light infantry had been assembled, and everyone was already wearing armor. Blades, bows, and arrows, all worn on the body.

Because it was a light cavalry straight out, even the cavalry auxiliaries in the camp did not bring a single one, and when the time came in the military village outside the city, it was natural to recruit the auxiliaries, although all the soldiers lined up in the cold rain, but everyone looked extremely excited.

has been aggrieved in Hebei for so long, and now Yao Xianggong finally has an order to lead everyone to conquer Yanjing, but there are no merits that everyone can get, but some people are a little confused, how did this military order come so suddenly? Why did Xiao Yao Xianggong put the Chinese army camp under martial law and take strict precautions?

Moreover, the Western Army is a dignified division, even if it swaggers out to fight, what are you afraid of? Now they don't bring a single auxiliary, and neither do the infantry of the Chinese army, even if the two commanders of 500 light cavalry and 5,000 infantry soldiers and horses go out of the city in the rain at night, it is too hasty.

However, the military order is like a mountain, this hesitation can only be hidden in everyone's hearts, and they dare not say a word, although the people and horses are a little trembling under the cold rain, but the queue is silent, just waiting for Yao Gu to lead the generals to arrive.

After waiting for a while, when the day had passed the watch and the second watch was about to be made, I saw a few clusters of windproof and rainproof oil lamps leading the way, Yao Gu led all the generals, all wearing armor and armor, and came to these armor soldiers surrounded by personal guards.

Yao Gu pulled the reins, came to the front of the formation first, glanced back and forth, and said: "The governor of the city is determined to lead the troops out of the city today, gather the military forces outside the city, and destroy the troubled Yanjing in one fell swoop.
