Volume 3 Mending the Heavens Chapter 154 (17)
When the smoke was rising in the east and north, the scene of the central army of the Yan Army in Hehe County was quite strict.
In the past few days, the city wall of Hehe County has been reinforced. Around this city, there are dense camps with bows and crossbows that have the same range, and they are spread out in circles.
In the rain curtain, tens of thousands of troops were stationed there, fighting fiercely, and banners were standing in a forest.
In order to cope with the sudden offensive of the Jurchen army horses in the east and north, the military headquarters of the Yan Yan Army also made a move. Groups of military horses drove in the direction of the east and north, and all the horses were divided and used, and they were used as sentinel horses to shuttle back and forth.
When these troops and horses were mobilized, the marching queues were quite neat, and the morale was not low. And the horsemen who shuttled back and forth in the road were all running tirelessly in rain and cement, passing military orders one after another to the front, and bringing a piece of military information back to the Chinese army.
Such a scene, compared with the scattered and chaotic state when the army was approaching the east, can only be said that the Yan Yan army has become somewhat accustomed to the battlefield atmosphere, and has restored the color of some of the old Western army, and it is no longer the appearance of the old soldiers of the Zhejia army who shook their heads when they crossed the Yellow River.
Such a large army, such a well-fortified, so favorable to defend the weather that is not conducive to attack. If the army is really not chaotic and defends it to the death, Zong Han's department is several times stronger, and it can support it for a long time!
Yang Keshi led the guards to gallop all the way and saw such a scene. Even though his heart was full of anxiety and anxiety, he unconsciously calmed down a little.
Liu Guangshi is still a soldier and is not in a hurry. As long as he is firm enough, the Yan Yan army will not necessarily be wiped out in this Weishui River Valley. If the small race is able to help, this war in Hedong still has to be fought!
On the way to the big tent of the army in Hehe County. Yang Keshi's dozens of horsemen encountered many patrols. These patrols are quite vigilant. However, after recognizing Yang Keshi, they hurriedly let him go.
One of the main generals stationed in the back road suddenly arrived. The sentry looked at Yang Keshi's expression, which inevitably became a little more confused and flustered. And Yang Keshi also changed his usual silent and wooden attitude, but after these patrols, he casually laughed with the leading generals, and was relaxed enough.
No matter what the actual situation is, in this era, the army is still a general, whether Yang Keshi is really at ease or fake at ease, being able to make this gesture shows that he is not in chaos, and he can naturally make the sergeant who meets him settle down. All the way. These patrol soldiers and soldiers could still laugh with Yang Keshi, and they all swore that they were not afraid of Tartars. And Yang Keshi did not hesitate to encourage and praise, and after the war, he didn't know how much he paid for wine out of his own pocket. Yang Keshi's personal guards calculated for his own general, if the small kind of prince did not subsidize him, Yang would have to sell it all and declare bankruptcy.
After crossing the periphery of the camps, seeing the officers and soldiers of the Yan Army whose morale was still good, and seeing the scene of the army movement that was quite strict and solemn, Yang Keshi's tense expression had loosened a lot.
After the group went straight to Hehe County. Yang Keshi left the personal guard brigade at the gate of the city, and turned to the Chinese army tent where Liu Guangshi was located with only three or five horsemen.
than the weather of the camp of the army outside the city. This scene in the city is something else.
Hehe was originally a small and remote county in the east of the river, and the city was low and narrow. The real area is not much different from a residential community of some size in Xiao Yan's era. After a military rebellion, it was also full of ruins, a bleak and dilapidated scene.
However, after Liu Guangshi was stationed here, the entire city was cleaned up. All the dilapidated houses that were unsightly were demolished, and all the materials were used to repair the city defenses. What you see in the city is all the military barracks, as well as the baggage vehicles concentrated in one place, and the only county government office in the city that is still relatively complete has now been changed to a place to store grain. Liu Guangshi will not live in this place that has been ruined by Tartars, with the smell of cattle and sheep.
This is not enough, Liu Guangshi's big tent in the center, in this small city that has been demolished like a white ground, is stacked with bricks and stones to form a platform, as a pedestal, standing high on it, and the rain and cement are dirty, and it is not contaminated at all.
Under the pedestal, there are also trees transplanted from outside the city, and the placement is clearly carefully arranged. These trees have not been transplanted for a long time, they have not yet died, and in the rain, they are green and lovely.
And along the pedestal, the brocade ironclad guards lined up with swords and spears, and the flags were dazzling in the rain. And Liu Guangshi's richly furnished military tent is in the middle of the high platform, with deer arches on all sides, and the guards are more and denser in the army's brocade armor, and the guards are extremely strict!
The army was only stationed in the mud, and Yang Keshi led his troops to garrison the area of Black Tea Mountain, which was even more difficult, not to mention that these cavalry troops still had heavy patrol tasks every day, which could be said to be miserable. When he came to the city, when he saw Liu Guangshi's Chinese military tent, the guards around Yang Keshi all scolded in their stomachs.
And Yang Keshi breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, I am not afraid of how Liu Guangshi can enjoy luxury, as long as he can stay firmly in this big tent of the Chinese army, it will be a great thing for Yan Yanjun!
Yang Keshi came, and it had been passed directly to Liu Guangshi for the patrol. And Liu Yanei's self-respecting identity naturally will not come out to follow him in person. Only the flag officer of the Chinese army was guarding under the stone platform where the big tent of the Chinese army was located, and when he saw Yang Keshi's figure appearing, he was busy welcoming the general: "General Yang, we will say that the lord does not need to be heard, he will wait in the big tent!" ”
The attitude of the flag officer of the Chinese army towards Yang Keshi was much more enthusiastic than before. In the past, Yang Keshi was just an unpopular old Qiu Ba, who looked taciturn and unwilling to mingle with the Yan generals. Liu Guangshi's henchmen and generals also looked down on him.
How did you think you could train elite soldiers? I had previously practiced the white soldiers to Xiao Yan, and my own hands were empty-handed. Now that I've worked hard to train one, don't you want to obey orders under our commander General Liu? Such generals who can't manage their own situation really drag down the soldiers who follow him! In addition to grinding immediately every day, the hips hurt, the sweat is all over, and the hands are thick calluses. What else could fall?
However, it is different now, the Jurchen army did not do as Liu Guangshi expected, and could only turn east before the Yan Yan army. Instead, he pounced viciously. East and north. Smoke in the sky! And the Jurchen army continued to extend in the north. looks like he is going to intercept the flank of the Yan army at any time. At this time, it is still an old Qiu Ba like Yang Keshi who can fight!
The enthusiasm of the flag officer made Yang Keshi a little uncomfortable, and after turning over and dismounting, he was about to explain to a few guards to let them find a place to rest. The flag official can serve by Liu Guangshi's side, what a high-eyed person, and immediately smiled: "General Yang can rest assured!" Next to the tabernacle, the hot wine had already been spun and the lamb was roasted. These brothers, just rest with me! Then change into a dried clothes, and the horses are also brushed and fed, and everything only falls on the last general! ”
Yang Keshi didn't have anything to say, so he could only nod his head, press his sword and go straight up the steps. The flag officer had already beckoned his subordinates to welcome Yang Keshi's personal guards to go down to rest, and he rushed to the front and led the way quickly. Along the way, Liu Guangshi's personal guards all bowed and saluted, and there was really no need to pass it on. Introduce the banner official straight into the big tent.
The furnishings of the big tent are still as magnificent as before. But it doesn't have the appearance of the wine party when Yang Keshi entered the account last time. The brothers Liu Guangshi and Liu Anshi, as well as several confidant generals, were all dressed in armor, but they were discussing something in a low voice around a wooden map. On all sides of the tent, tall armor soldiers stood like sculptures with swords.
For the first time, this big tent of the Chinese army in the Yan Yan Army has the air of a strict army!
Liu Guangshi's face was a little blue, and he was also tense. It turned out that the so-called Confucian generals of the so-called family who were in the army and had poetry and wine did not know where they were lost. Leaning forward and pressing the wooden figure, he just watched intently at Liu Anshi pointing at his head, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice from time to time.
Hearing the sound of Yang Keshi's heavy footsteps, everyone raised their heads. Liu Anshi still has that rough appearance, his armor and skirt are muddy and watery, and he obviously led the team around before returning. Without waiting for his brother to speak, he raised his voice and said, "General Yang, why were you born?" What went wrong on the side of Black Tea Mountain? Why don't you stand up there, and abandon the army here? ”
Several military generals, including Liu Guangshi, looked nervous. Now that the Jurchen Western Route Army's counteroffensive has been completed, the Yan Yan Army is deep in the Weishui River Valley, and this back road must not be lost!
Seeing Liu Anshi's impetuous appearance, Yang Keshi just shook his head in his heart. It's a shame that you are still known as the first general of the Yan Yan Army, and you can't hold your breath like this! Marching and fighting, it's not enough to show off your might with a horse!
Facing everyone's nervous gaze, Yang Keshi still stepped forward to salute Liu Guangshi steadily, and only when he got up did he say in a deep voice: "The back road is still worry-free, the last general has sent a sentry to the north, ready to be on guard at any time, and he has gone north for dozens of miles, and there is still no trace of the Jurchen brigade's military horses." And between the mountain paths, there are also full of sentinels to explore the beacons, such a weather and terrain, the Jurchen Tartars want to go deep into the Weishui River Valley from the north, cut off the line of the Black Tea Mountain, the last general dares to be protected by the general, as long as the last general is still there, it is impossible! ”
All the generals breathed a sigh of relief, and arrogance appeared on Liu Anshi's face again: "Since you also know that the back road of Black Tea Mountain is important, why are you here if you don't sit in the army?" Could it be that the guest army is fighting under our command, and they have to ask for a reward when they are in battle? Isn't it blocked by heavy rain now, and food is difficult to transport? It's just that I ride under my command, and it's not that I can't stop working without rewards? You have to be able to control these horses under your command! ”
Liu Anshi slapped the cuirass fluffy: "............ Whatever the reward is, it will be wrapped around us! As soon as the food and wages were brought up. Quan Yanjun tightened his belts and let go of your military horses first! ”
Regarding Liu Anshi's words, Yang Keshi could only be silent. The Great Song Dynasty army and horses marched and fought, of course, they all relied on money. There is money for opening and pulling, and you have to reward you in advance when you really see the battle. But the army is in such a critical situation, and I haven't heard of anyone waiting for the Tartars to kill them without getting a reward!
Liu Guangshi glared at his brother fiercely and squeezed out a smile: "Since the back road of Black Tea Mountain is worry-free, what is General Yang doing here?" Is it a shortage of food or military resources? Or do you feel that the number of troops is too small and you want to invite a group of men and horses to be placed under your command? All the departments under a certain command, but whoever is in the army in Hehe, which one do you like, just pick and choose! If you don't obey the orders under your command, you will not be redeemed! ”
In the minds of the Liu family brothers, Yang Keshi followed the Yan Yanjun army eastward all the way, and did not reap any benefits. At this moment, how can you not fight for some benefits and be angry? As long as he can keep the back road of Black Tea Mountain, he will be up to him for the time being. Even if Liu Anshi's tone is still as arrogant as ever, the meaning is to promise Yang Keshi what he wants, and they will give him.
The boss opened his mouth to express his position, and several generals in the account were also ready to come up to give Yang Keshi a flattery first, and then coax this old Qiu Ba to fight for the Yan Yan army. As for the future. If there is an account, then settle the account. Just get past the hurdle!
Yang Keshi's gaze. It just fell on Liu Guangshi. The words in Liu Guangshi's mouth gradually fell into a low voice, and even the generals who were about to come over stopped their tracks. His face was shocked.
The tent fell silent for a while, only to hear Liu Guangshi slowly speak again: "What happened?" ”
Yang Keshi said coldly: "The Jurchen Lou Chamber's department has already advanced westward from the Lan army, taking advantage of the rain to run for more than 200 miles, and has already taken Hehe Jindu!" Now we are going further east to attack the back of our army. The general has already gathered his troops and horses to the west, and has gone to fight for the road with the Lou Chamber! ”
These words fell like a thunderbolt in the tent!
Several generals were all stunned by these words, and Liu Anshi couldn't believe it and blinked his eyes. And Liu Guangshi shook his body a few times on the ground!
Suddenly, Liu Guangshi stood still, spoke sharply, and faced the guards standing in the tent: "There is a little rumor of military discussion here, and you will be killed and waiting for the door!" ”
Stand and guard. They all fell to the ground and did not dare to look up. And Liu Guangshi quickly turned to Mu Tu and stretched out his trembling fingers. Draw a line to the west along the direction of the Lan Army, and finally land on the Hehe Jindu!
In such a heavy rain, the troops and horses of the Lou Room Institute stationed in the Lan army got rid of the offensive of Han Shizhong's army in front of them, and rushed to the enemy for more than 200 miles, taking Hehe Jindu in one fell swoop and cutting off the river. Sounds like a fantasy!
Is this Jurchen Tartar so strong? In this case, why did they retreat step by step when the Yan Yan army marched eastward? Could it be that he wanted to lure the Yan army into the depths of the Weishui River Valley and wait for this opportunity to come?
Liu Guangshi wanted not to believe Yang Keshi's words. But in front of me, I couldn't help but feel black.
If it weren't for the outstanding army of Lou Mur, why did Zong Han's troops resolutely launch a counterattack in such weather? It's not to attract the main force of the Yan Yan army, let Lou Room sweep the back road of the Yan Yan army, and completely block them in this Weishui River Valley!
And Yang Keshi came in person, and he led the military horse to hurry west. These two are both generals, and it is impossible for them to say anything nonsense on this..................
Yan Yanjun fell into a desperate situation at once!
The generals in the tent also looked extremely flustered, and desperately pointed at it around the wooden map. I couldn't care about Liu Guangshi's most important etiquette, and I opened my voice and argued loudly.
"It can't be! Lou Room went all the way west, but there were soldiers from the three states outside the river in the north, how could they hit Hehejin at once? ”
"The main force of the Zhejia army has been brought out by Zhe Keqiu, and the remaining guards are not under the command of Zhe Yan. With such heavy rain, who would have thought that the Jurchen Tartars would suddenly rush in? ”
"Even if the Jurchen Tartars suddenly advance in a hurry, there are as many as five or six thousand troops and horses in Hehe Jindu, and there are strong camps to rely on, that means that if you take it, you will take it down?"
"Straight lady thief, others don't understand the details of the left-behind army, don't we understand? Hehe Jindu is the center of the two sides of the river, and the money and grain flowing through it are like mountains and seas, and how many people are guarding there who are rushing to catch a handful or simply feel that the Lord can't take them? If the elite of the Lou Room Department can brave the rain and storm them, and suddenly defeat them and drive them down the river, what kind of birds are strange? ”
"It's too presumptuous for us to go east! is only when there are many generals in their own country, and the Jurchen Tartars flee from the wind, but in fact, they expose the flaws of the boss and let people beat them! Now the back road was cut off, and the river was blocked. Forty or fifty thousand of us are stuck in this valley, like a dead snake! ”
"Who would have thought? How far is Hehe Jindu from the Lan army? Behind is the Yan Yan Road, and on the side there are three states outside the Zhejia River. Who would have thought that the Jurchen Tartars would be so strong? ”
"This Jurchen Tartar, just let King Yan fight, let's join in the fun! It's hit the south wall! ”
"Now we are counting on the Zhejia army to open a path, and we will also quickly dispatch men and horses to the west, and we can't delay in this dead place any longer!"
"Which army horse will be drawn to fight the back road? The army is blunt and heavy, and that's so easy to turn around? ”
"Maybe the Broken Family Army will be able to break through a path! These soldiers from outside the river can fight better than us! At this time, as much benefit as the family army wants, give them as much benefit as possible! ”
A group of generals gossiped and disturbed endlessly. And Liu Anshi's face turned blue on the side, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
In the midst of the noise, I heard Liu Guangshi roaring angrily: "The straight mother and thief are all here!" ”
Such a village dialect came out of the mouth of Liu Guangshi and Liu Yan, who have always admired themselves. Calm all the generals at once! Liu Anshi also had an incredible expression. Just looking at his brother.
Liu Guangshi glanced at the generals fiercely. His eyes turned to Yang Keshi, who was just standing silently on the side.
"General Yang, what do you think?"
In the semantics, sincerity is very.
changed any of the important generals of the Western Army, who was treated like this by Liu Guangshi before, and was sent to the back road to patrol the back road near the left side of the Black Tea Mountain, and ate and drank dew. At this time, he begged for Liu Guangshi to come to the door, and he had to be bitter and mean.
But Yang Keshi is really not such a character.
So the Western Army cavalry generals. The status is very high, but when later generations read history, they are unknown. Only in some of the vicious battles between Song and Jin can we see his words, and finally annihilated in the bloody history books.
Yang Keshi was silent for a while, and finally spoke.
"The army of Yan Yan must be stabilized! Once the army hastily retreats westward, the Jurchen Tartars who come from the north and from the east will come like blood, and then this river valley will really become the death of the army!
………… This is where it matters. It is to open up the back road before we can talk about the rest. The Lord has gone west. The last general is in charge, and then advances. When the time comes, please also pick up a group of soldiers and horses to connect with the front line of Black Tea Mountain. The last general will definitely do everything in his power to open a way for the army to retreat! ”
If Yang Keshi wants to say that he is not annoyed, there are only two points.
One is that the main force of the Yan Yan army is firmly defending, and the other is that the two strongest units in this army are fighting for a way out.
Liu Guangshi and the generals listened silently, and the expressions on their faces changed. What Yang Keshi said is naturally reasonable, and they all understand that it is the best choice at this moment.
However, Yang Keshi and Zhe Keqiu are both military horses with the strongest combat power and the strongest mobility. Compared with the main force of the dull and heavy Yan Yan Army, it is really said that it will be fought, and it will be left when it is said. If you can open the way to retreat, it will be fine, in case you can't break through, Zhe Keqiu and Yang Keshi will be in the westernmost part, and take advantage of the fact that the Jurchen army has not yet been completely encircled, and go through the gap. At that time, the main force of the Yan Yan army was still standing in place, waiting for the Jurchen army to block all the passages, are you waiting for death?
Such concerns made it difficult for the generals to look at their faces, Liu Anshi raised his eyebrows and wanted to say something, but in the end, he gritted his teeth with a blue face.
The cavalry he led has been in a difficult situation recently, and he has been patrolling and giving orders, but he has already complained and shook the sky. Now they want to go west and desperately open a way of retreat, but I am afraid that these horsemen will be scattered among the mountains and flee for their lives. What's more, now that the situation is critical, how can they rest assured if they don't put this cavalry by their side to protect the two brothers?
The generals were silent, and Yang Keshi seemed to understand what they were thinking, but he just sighed in his heart. In the end, he just set his eyes on Liu Guangshi.
My old Yang has never been interested in power and wealth, and he has never wanted to take revenge on Yan Yanjun. As for his own family, he abandoned the army and left, leaving behind 40,000 sons and daughters of the Yan army. But how can anyone who is born in heaven and earth as a man with eyebrows do such a thing? Not to mention that my old Yang Sheng is a person of the Western Army, and he is a ghost of the Western Army when he dies!
At this time, I beg you, Liu Yanei, to sit and stabilize the army, and I will go to you to fight hard! If nothing else, just for the lives of tens of thousands of Kansai disciples of the Yan Army!
I just ask you to make a wise decision and risk your life to fight, it's just us soldiers!
If you fight side by side with Zhe Keqiu and do your best, I am confident that I can still fight a bloody way for these tens of thousands of Kansai children!
The eyes of the generals also fell on Liu Guangshi, including Liu Anshi, who held their breath for a while.
There was silence in the tent for a while, Liu Guangshi gritted his teeth suddenly, and slapped the wooden map heavily: "Just do it like this!" A certain sits in Hehe and resists Zong Han. And General Yang, you and General Zhe, open up a way for the Yanyan army to retreat! ”
He turned to his brother and shouted, "Anshi! ”
Liu Anshi was startled, clenched his fists and bowed: "General!" ”
Liu Guangshi gritted his teeth and said: "You are the commander-in-chief of the army, but there are former troops who abandon the village without a fight, but there are Chinese army headquarters that cross the border of Hehe County and take a step west. ”
Liu Anshi made a violent promise: "The last general will take the order!" ”
And Liu Guangshi still looked hideous, glancing at the generals: "As long as the retreat is opened, the help will continue." Grandpa Liu is nailed here! Since the Jurchen Tartars are desperately looking for Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Liu will sweep them away first, and then go to Taiyuan Mansion to welcome back the two saints and reorganize the Great Song River and Mountain! No matter who you are, if you corrupt a certain event, you will be a traitor, no matter how many generations of friendship you have, when the time comes, don't complain about so-and-so! ”
All the generals hung their heads and clenched their fists: "The last general and others dare not obey the orders of the general, they should do their best, and then die!" ”
Liu Guangshi finally turned to Yang Keshi: "General Yang, you can set up a fortress in Heicha Mountain to block it, but a certain Chinese army headquarters has crossed over here and will not spare it!" In addition, there are military horses in the west of Hehe County, but at your disposal, a big order will be issued immediately! That being the case, can General Yang dare to protect the army of a certain Yan Yan and open up a retreat? ”
Yang Keshi hugged his fists heavily: "But on Yang!" ”
Once Liu Guangshi gave the order, he was out of control, and said to his brother: "You immediately send a pass horseman to chase after the general, tell the general, and the battle situation on the back road, a certain person is also in suspense with him." The Western Army is up and down, but I am grateful that he can fight to the death! Sue the general, that is, as long as you can open up the front line of the big river, let the Western Army reinforcements and help come up, a certain Fold family will be rewarded with 200,000 yuan, that is, the Liu family will be emptied, and they will also make up enough! And after the Liu family and the folding family, it is the same qi and branches, and the folding family has something to ask, and there is nothing to follow here! ”
Yang Keshi looked at Liu Guangshi's series of heralds, and finally felt a little relieved in his heart. This Liu Yanei finally didn't lose the face of the Western Army's generals! As long as he can hold it steadily, this Yanyan army is not something that the Jurchen Tartars can move lightly. And the ministers of the small race and the generals of the Western Army will never stand idly by! Just get through this while!
Just as Liu Guangshi had finished arranging a military order, the generals fanned up blood for Liu Guangshi, and they were ready to go to their headquarters and fight to the death. Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and the flag officer of the Chinese army, who had just led Yang Keshi into the room and avoided it, rushed in again.
When Liu Guangshi was full of pride and ambition, he saw the flag official rushing in with a panicked face. Not only did he forget the etiquette and disturbed the atmosphere of his command at this moment, and he immediately shouted angrily.
"Take it for so-and-so! Fifty military sticks are talking! ”
Several guards who didn't dare to raise their heads in the tent suddenly made a violent promise, and rushed to arrest the flag officer of the Chinese army.
The flag officer of the Chinese army was pale, and he didn't know whether it was rain or sweat on it, and he suddenly fell to the ground and let out a cry of grief.
"The Lord, the Lord! It is rumored that the cavalry came quickly, and the Zhejia army abandoned the Yan army and went north! We're done, we're done! (To be continued......)
PS: Come up and apologize first.
In the past few days, the ninety-two-year-old grandmother has arrived in Nanjing, and there are still a bunch of relatives, and everything is busy. I was really dizzy, and I wrote an announcement but didn't release it.
Today, I found out that I had made such a mistake again.
I have nothing to say, but I ask the readers to understand a little bit. In the next few days, Oscar will try to make up for it.
