Chapter 84: The Oath (2)
The mountains and land on both sides of the strait are now only shrouded in a layer of early autumn dye. The sky is high and the clouds are light.
The autumn day in the north, which is so open and good, is the day of the soldiers' conquest.
On the road from Zhuozhou to Xiongzhou. The knights of the Dozens of Victorious Victories were surrounding Xiao Yan and a few people. Rush back to the place where Xiongzhou Tongguan is stationed. Prepare to participate in the grand military meeting of the Great Gathering of Generals and the Northern Expedition again!
At this moment, Xiao Yan only had high spirits in his heart.
The scenery in front of him is as good as yesterday, but there are no Liao people who lurk and snoop around from afar. There is no longer a rush of vigilance, and there will no longer be a large camp of the Liao army in front of him, and he will have to risk death to return to Song soil.
North of the Baigou River to Zhuozhou, it is already the world of the Song people, they came all the way, and what they saw was an endless stream of Song army convoys rushing to Zhuoyi Erzhou, in addition to replenishing military funds to the state, there were also Huanqing Army and Shengjie soldiers and horses, one team after another to Zhuozhou to strengthen the defense there.
On several roads, there are people who are widening and solidifying. On the Liuli River, the Song fleet slowly went upstream. The boatmen carefully measured the depth of the water at the bow of the boat, and the people on both sides of the river were just sweating and dragging these flat-bottomed pointed river boats slowly.
In addition to the people of Hebei who were requisitioned and sent by the Song realm, the Liao people who were scattered around also helped the old and the young to come to eat. The strong man pulls the fiber and carries the load, the old and weak women and children squat on the side and smash small stones to pave the road, the east and west of the refugee shacks are all over the road, there is already cooking smoke rising up, and occasionally one or two children's voices can be heard.
This qiē is all old.
Xiao Zi rode on the way, but he felt a little excited.
Looking back, the crossing of the river in the dark night, the risking of death to rush to the camp, the snatching of Zhuozhou, and the bloody battle all the way to Yizhou seem to be a bit like a dream.
Behind him, there was a tall Shengjie Army armor soldier holding the banner of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army, and the other was holding the flag of Xiao Yu who had been rushed out. There is also embroidered gold Daewoo next to it, which is the dazzling Daewoo of the former military capital of the three-way Xuanfu Embassy.
The official title is not enough, but the two heavens of Qin Ming are supreme glory. See these two flags. Who can't recognize Yu Luhuan Qingjun and Shengjie Army, this 10^degree Xiaobai who rides proudly on a horse, is the one who only brought a few hundred people and horses, snatched Zhuoyi Erzhou, and beat the king of the Liao people's four armies to the far away Xiao Yan Xiao Xuanzan?
came back in vain, but now he has restrained the former army in one fell swoop, and the officials appreciate it, and his fame has reached the king's front. Almost with the strength of one person, he made a feat that more than 100,000 people of the Northern Expedition army could only look forward to!
Of the armor soldiers around Xiao Yan, more than a dozen of them followed him all the way to fight, and they followed Xiao Yan's side, and their waists were also straight. Most of the healthy horses under their crotches are Liao horses captured in Yizhou. It is tall and large, and its mane is deliberately untrimmed, and it runs with a great stride and a fluttering mane. There's an amazing stance.
The people on the road saw their brigade coming like a dragon, and naturally avoided the road, that is, the Shengjie Army and the Huanqing Army who rushed to Zhuozhou, all looked at Xiao Yan and them with respect and awe. Some of the old colleagues of the Shengjie Army recognized their acquaintances and did not dare to answer Xiao Yan, but they rode their horses and ran with them for a while, and answered with these robes who had made miraculous achievements.
"Xie Jiaerlang, how many times has Cexun turned this time?"
"The grace of the official family, I also have Di Gonglang's farewell, now in the Shenwu Changsheng Army, it is Xuanzan and the guards are sent by the head, Huang Tie Crocodile, when Xiongzhou picks troops to cross Baigou in the north, you have a stomach, drink the decoction and hum in the camp, this time it finally came up. Rest assured, there is also Yanjing's wealth waiting for us! ”
"One step late, one step later, I don't dare to think about good things, there will be benefits in the future, but don't forget that we are the same. The love of the stove, I am still waiting for your pulling! ”
"What about Lao Ren? I still owe him a dozen times. He doesn't play with money, I lost in a hurry that time, and asked him to borrow money to turn over the book, but it turned out that it was the bird's egg essence that entered the mother! You have a great victory, we are also stained, the official family has 100 ^ engage in ^ reward ^ ^ come down, there are a few pennies in the waist, you have to repay the debt, the old Ren family is tired, if you don't pay him back the ten thunder to be chopped down, where is this guy?
"Lao Ren is dead! I didn't lose our Western soldiers. A few brothers rushed to the Liao Thousand Cavalry Brigade, so that the Liao people could slow down, so that we could arrange it in Moshui, kill one of them and lose their armor............ Lao Ren's bones haven't been picked up! You have to have a heart, when you return to Shaanxi, give him a doll for his mother-in-law............ We praised this reward, but we didn't leave anything, and gave it all to the brothers who died in battle!
“………… When you go back this time, are you still playing pioneers?
"* Don't cheat, don't hide, the Western Army is 100,000, who can pass us now. This revenge swallow head gong is not praised by us, who else can it be? Let's follow us to praise and enter Yanjing City! ”
The rough voice of the Shaanxi man only echoed on the land of Youyan, and people looked at the Xiao Yu banner with envy, and even more enviously looked at Xiao Yan who was dressed in military uniform and rode on a horse with great vigour.
Xiao Yan was proud, and even added three points. He sat up straighter on the horse, beckoning to everyone, and shouting three times in a row, long live the people............
Ma Kuo just followed behind Xiao Yan, watching Xiao Yan's triumphant energy almost pop out of the 108,000 sweat pores on his body, just shaking his head on the horse's back.
followed Xiao Yan back, including Ma Kuo, Yue Fei, and Zhang Xian, the commander of Xiao Yan's guards. originally wanted to take Han Shizhong back to Xiongzhou to boast about his merits, but Han Shizhong just shook his head.
"I am familiar with the Western Army, bottles and jars, as long as I have an ear, I know the reputation of Han Wu. is not as good as the brothers of the Yue family, and you have to be familiar with them. In the future, when going north, it is indispensable to fight side by side with the Western Army. I have a good reputation for friendship with Han Wu, I want to contact the Western Army, and I will probably not bump back if I say it, and the brothers of the Yue family are also going to lead the troops. Zhuozhou also has to be watched, there are so many new characters, I can stop them. And here is a down-to-earth training for Xuanzan, if the eight hundred light cavalry can be trained, how useful it will be! I'm waiting for Xuanzan to come back and take us to Yanjing! ”
In addition to them, there is a little mute. I don't know what the little mute was frightened by, and he didn't want to be left alone in Zhuozhou. Xiao Yan persuaded two sentences, but he couldn't persuade him. simply let the little mute change into a trumpet battle jacket, and the helmet was pressed low, just mixed in the team, and followed him back to Zhuozhou.
Ma Kuo saw Xiao Yan's relaxed style: he returned to Xiongzhou with the little mute like an outing. Without the northward crossing of the Baigou River, it was that kind of awe-inspiring and frightened appearance, and he just didn't speak.
He followed behind Xiao Yan, Yue Fei was beside him, this young general wore armor and armor, and he was wearing nothing at all. Ma Kuo subconsciously turned his head to look at him, and Yue Fei's eyes also happened to pass over
The two of them looked at each other and the meaning was almost the same, Yue Fei's eyes moved, and he looked at Ma Kuo, but Ma Kuo only shook his head slightly.
At this moment, Xiao Yan turned his head back and looked at the little mute mixed in the crowd. The little mute's helmet was almost pressed against a pair of curved eyebrows, a small face, and several hands were hidden from sight. Xiao Yan grinned at her, and his expression was so satisfied that he couldn't hide it anymore.
Yue Fei frowned, and was about to step forward. But Ma Kuo grabbed his reins, and urged him to step forward and go hand in hand with Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan was stunned: "Brother Ma, how is it?" ”
Ma Kuo smiled reluctantly: "Brother Xiao, look at this military discussion, what kind of tasks should we undertake as a winning army?"
Xiao Yan smiled, and he had almost thought about his future behavior.
History has changed! The Northern Expedition of the Song Army had already gone north two months in advance, and it was too late for the Jurchens to be killed. I finally bought two precious months of precious time for this war! Thinking of priing such a heavy wheel of history with the power of one person. It's really a few sails to be unhappy......",
Below, it's as desperate as Zhuoyi did during the Great War, and he won't do it anymore. It's that everyone has to catch their breath. Now that he has an official position and strength, he should think about how to get the most benefit from this war.
The Song army marched forward with all divisions, as long as it could hold the weight. There's nothing you can't win. His own Shenwu Changsheng army is mainly light cavalry, and if it is another victorious army, it will naturally take advantage of mobility and flexibility. His own plan is to try to open up the victorious army, and the sentinel selects the most suitable road to march, and when the Liao people collapse, the light army will advance alone and reach Yanjing! At that time, as long as you can be the first to rush into Yanjing City, you won't be able to run away from this revenge!
As for the main battle, I'll leave it to others. Lao Tzu has already contributed, and now it should be Lao Tzu's turn to enjoy the blessings. If it weren't for Lao Tzu. You guys still want to be able to cross the Baigou River so early, and Tong Guan can turn over with salted fish?
It's not that Xiao Yan's little white-collar workers in his previous life broke out again, but that the situation is so dizzying. From a miserable traveler to a new star in the Song Dynasty, he became a decisive figure in changing the situation. Jumped to such a high position all at once. In this era, it can be regarded as a stable life, and it is no longer a guy who grits his teeth and carries two eggs and goes up to fight hard, except for the death of a big deal. It's also normal to think more about yourself in the future.
Besides, Xiao Yan felt that he had a clear conscience. In this Yan war, I can't fight from beginning to end!
When asked about Ma Kuo, Xiao Yan just smiled: "What else?" Prospect the road for the forward B sentinel of the army, and look forward to the military strength of the Liao. Open the suspicions. In order to divide the military strength of the Liao people, it is convenient for the main force to fight. It's nothing more than these jobs, the important thing is, after the defeat of the Liao, how can we be the first to rush into Yanjing City!
Ma Kuo looked at Xiao Yan, who was satisfied, and shook his head slowly: "Brother Xiao, are the Liao people really so vulnerable?"
Xiao Yan sneered: "It's not that the Liao people are so unbearable 16|k novel wàp.1|6|kxs.c0m text version of the first blow, but now Xiao Gan, the general of the Liao people's unified army, has no heart to fight to the death!" He is for his own strength and position, once he refuses to fight, he will run to be his Emperor Xi as soon as possible! Martyred with Yanjing, he couldn't do it if he was killed, when he learned that Yelu Dashi had lost power and Xiao Gan was in power. I knew I was going to win! We're going to care. It's just that when Xiao Gan turned around and ran, he seized the opportunity to be the first to enter Yanjing City! No one wants to snatch this credit from Lao Tzu! "In order to be able to restore Yanjing, in order to prevent the tragedy from happening four years later. Lao Tzu was ashamed and humiliated when Tong Guan died, the lackey of the eunuch. This reputation is not good to say. It's really the shame and shame of small, white-collar workers and ......", finally pushed the Northern Expedition to continue, this great achievement, and then let it be given to others, and the thief will not agree!
As for Xiao Gan, Lao Tzu has already defeated him once in Yizhou, are you afraid that there will be no second time?
Looking at Xiao Yan's shining eyes, Ma Kuo just sighed in his heart. This Brother Xiao has first-class courage and knowledge, and he sincerely admires it. But he has finally been up and down for a few years longer than him in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, knowing that he is now in the position of a rising bird, and he doesn't know how many guns and arrows are waiting for Jia ......", but Xiao Yan. Now it looks like he is overconfident, and it is no wonder that he has achieved such a noble feat, almost hitting a piece of the sky with his bare hands, how can people not be confident in themselves?
More importantly, a war cannot be won by self-confidence alone! What is needed is to think repeatedly, endure humiliation, walk on thin ice, and finally make a decisive decision! I also want to serve my subordinates to death, and my colleagues work together. Xiao Yan is in the limelight, isn't there a worry about being extremely easy to break?
In the end, Ma Kuo only said in a low voice: "If the Jurchens also go south in advance............
"No way!" Xiao Yan just said categorically.
Now Wanyan Aguda is still there, to the surprise of most people who read history, this Jurchen immortal hero is an out-and-out goodwill to the Song Dynasty.
Maybe it's a big victory over Liao, which has consumed the ** of the meal in his heart. The old body no longer has too many ambitions.
At the beginning of history, it was only Tong Guan who was too incompetent, and he didn't take Yanjing City for almost a year. In the end, after Wanyan Agu was killed, he begged Wanyan Wu to buy his head and borrowed troops to recover Yanjing. Only then did the Jurchens move south. Now the Jurchen army, Wanyan Aguda is far away in Shangjing. Although Wanyan Zonghan's department is the closest to the land of Yanyun, he also bears the heaviest responsibility, with the remnants of Yelu Yanxi in the west and the remnants of the Great Liao in Liaodong in the east. There are only 6,000 Jurchen elites in the department, what will they use to attack Yanjing in the south?
His opponent is only Xiao Gan alone. And he can definitely defeat Xiao Gan!
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Ma Kuo could no longer speak. Just silently bowed his head. Xiao Yan felt chest. The heat burned itself so much that it was almost impossible to contain. He slammed the mount under his crotch and galloped out. Zhang Xian, who was respectfully guarding beside him, immediately galloped to follow, and dozens of soldiers all let go of the horse's hooves, and the agility of the people and horses just made everyone look sideways!
Xiao Yan turned around and pointed north at Ma Kuo: "Brother Ma, Brother Ma, just watch me build this work." We're about to get to Duzhou, and then we're going north. Follow me, I'll take Yanjing and show you!
rushed to Xiongzhou in advance, and there was also a Zhao Liangsi.
The proclamation of this Tong Guan's first cronie was not embarrassing or embarrassing in Zhuozhou. Xiao Yan is also lukewarm to him. He originally wanted to use both grace and power on Xiao Yan, and use Tong Guan's tiger skin to subdue this guy. But with Xiao Yan making such a miraculous achievement, this plan can only be put into practice. Who can still move now
Zhao Liangsi and Xiao Yan socialized several times, but they just pressed the vinegar fire in the depths. Xiao Yan's glory should have been his! It's just that on the face, he still laughs freely.
Xiao Yan rose too fast, and he was too deeply involved in the power infighting of the Northern Expedition, as long as the opportunity came, he could still bring Xiao Yan down! All we have to do now is wait............
Xiongzhou oath is the time when the situation is changing in secret. How could he, Zhao Liangsi, miss this opportunity!
At this time, Xiongzhou, the original place where Wang Yu was stationed. has been given to Tong Guan, who came in a hurry. Inside and outside Xiongzhou, there are densely packed with guards from the Xuanfu Embassy. All the pavilions were vacated. Greet the commanders of the Western Army who are coming.
Inside and outside Xiongzhou, it has almost become a military city. People from all over the world are converging here. The people who transported food and military equipment gathered here like ants moving from a brigade to the Great Song Dynasty's military resources in Zhulu in Hebei, and even the supplies sent from Bianliang as far away as here. Every day of the day, there were large convoys of people and horses passing by, and the wheat fields around Xiongzhou were all slippery.
Tong Guan entered Zhenxiongzhou and has been paraded several times. This old eunuch who has been in charge of the army for 20 years seems to have regained his majesty and pride in expanding the border for thousands of miles, riding his horse and parading the army according to his sword, his waist and back straight, and he got on and off his horse. Coming and going like flying, like a hand, at this time, I found the majesty of being the commander of the big sheep!
These days, Tong Guan is in a very good mood, and he is also diligent in correspondence with Bianliang. At the Xuanfu Embassy, his high-pitched laughter could be heard all day long. The people below also stretched their eyebrows, and they knew more about the days when the small, white-faced person surnamed Xiao was to blame at every turn in Hejian Mansion. It's finally over!
But today, his wife Guan sank his face again, and the subordinates who came to his study to serve couldn't help but look at the short and fat man Zhao Liangsi who was sitting under Tong Guan with hatred.
It's rare that Xuan Shuai is in a good mood, Bianliang's trouble has been solved again, and now he is looking for some reason to make Xuan Shuai uncomfortable!
Tong Guan's complexion was like iron, just playing with a Hanyu grip, and he didn't look at Zhao Liangsi, who was sitting at the bottom. And Zhao Liangsi just looked calm, just waiting for Tong Guan to speak.
I don't know how long it took, Tong Guan took a few shots, stood up and said loudly: "Shenzhi, you are so ridiculous!" Bianliang is a big event, but it has just calmed down. The Northern Expedition, as long as there is a slight repetition, those people will still move a certain hand! At this time, if you want to beware of Xiao Xuanzan, wouldn't it be a big hundred, a degree, a smile, a word? Not only did he not hinder him, but he also gave him full support! Give what you want! I don't want to hear any more of what you say. You go down and rest, you have worked very hard, the military aircraft in this scene, I don't want you to be a counselor for the time being, and I will come back to duty when my body is well! ”
Zhao Liangsi got up quietly, bent down and saluted, and turned around to leave the study. Tong Guan looked at his back, and his chest rose and fell violently. And he said loudly: "Come back!" ”
Zhao Liangsi turned around respectfully, just waiting for Tong Guan to speak.
Tong Guan took a few steps with his hands in his hands, his face changed, and he whispered after a while: "You said Xiao Xuanzan." There will be a big trouble on a different day, why on earth? ”
Zhao Liangsi smiled faintly and replied in a low voice: "The subordinates and Xiao Xuanzan have nothing, and the subordinates only know how to do their best to plan for Xuanshuai." Why Xiao Xuanzan may be a big trouble for Xuan Shuai's henchmen on the other day, his subordinates have already informed Xuan Shuai as it is, and it is not too presumptuous at this time, and his subordinates are willing to show themselves in front of Xuan Shuai's seat again............
“………… Xiao Xuanzan attributed his merits to Xuanshuai this time and calmed down the Bianliang turmoil. Xiao Xuanzan's status has also skyrocketed. It has been deeply accepted by the government and attracted the attention of the world. And in the future, Fuyan will be a temple merit! With Xiao Xuan's praise of great talent, eighty percent of this merit will still fall into his hands.
Who dares not to let all the armies on the road hand-picked by the official family arrive in Yanjing first? After such miraculous achievements, Xiao Xuanzan wants to go further, can Xuanshuai give it to him, or can the husband give it to him?
………… You must know that Xiao Xuanzan is a civil official. Wang Xianggong once said that Xiao Xuanzan would be changed to a military position, but the official family still appointed him as a civil official! Controlling the armies on the road ahead is also in the capacity of a civilian official! Among the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty, can Xuan Shuai be like a husband? Xiao Xuanzan, who has made great contributions to the restoration of Yan and his position has been firmly established, may still be as loyal to Xuanshuai as before? The way of employing people, it is better to make the merit than to make it, honestly! At this time, if you don't share Xiao Xuanzan's power and merits a little, how can you let Xiao Xuanzan continue to serve under Xuanshuai in the future? Fuyan merit. It's even more like recovering Zhuoyi Erzhou, and I don't know who will attribute this great achievement in the future, it's just in Xiao Xuanzan's seal!
