Volume 3 Mending the Crack in the Sky Chapter 160 Banquet Hongmen (2)

A few fast horses, splashing mud spots, galloped to the ground. From a distance, I saw the watchtower at the gate of the camp waving a cyan flag to report safety, and spread the news that it was his own people who arrived in the military village.

These horsemen passed by the patrol posts along the way, and those patrol posts saluted one after another: "Wei Yuhou! ”

The person who came was Wei Dagong, who was now in the limelight in the army, and he and Du Ruhu were called the second show in the army. It turned out that there was a young brave general Yang Zaixing who was very famous, but when Yang Zaixing went to aid Hebei, both his official position and dispatch were very low. It is not comparable to Du Ruhu and Wei Dagong, one is the commander of Han Shizhong's army, and the other is also the commander of an elite cavalry. It can't be compared to these two yet.

Now Du Ruhu has been sent back to Taiyuan to recuperate, and I don't know how many months it will take to get up. Now Wei Dagong is still alive and well in the army, and he is really in the limelight for a while.

Not only has Wei Dagong's official position been transferred by three ranks, but now he is almost at the peak of the junior envoys in the army. and was also retained by Xiao Yan, and handed over all the mink hats that were now in the Divine Guard Army to him as the deputy capital of the Marquis Yu. is so important, who said that this guy is not going to soar in the Yanwang family in the future?

Moreover, the so-called mink hat capital, although the army of King Yan expanded very quickly, too many backbones were drawn from it to send various armies as lower-level generals. When Bianliang was training the new army, he also temporarily used mink hats as ordinary battalions as the backbone of the newly trained army. However, after the formation of the situation of the convergence of the armies in Taiyuan. King Yan did not hesitate to make the mink hat independent again, and transferred extraordinary soldiers from all the armies into the capital. is ready to train another batch of backbone henchmen in the army.

Now although the mink hats are among the Divine Guards, they are always led by the King of Yan, and there are more than 2,000 establishments. From any point of view, he is the top of King Yan's heart. The cost of pressing the bottom of the box. Wei Dagong was brilliant because of the trouble of the building. was promoted to such an important position at once. I don't know how many people are envious in the army!

However, such a promotion is also a unique benefit of Xiao Yan's command. The strength of King Yan is still expanding and building, as long as you have the ability, Xiao Yan will have the eyes, and he will have the courage to promote you, and there will not be so many entanglements in the family of the sect. But all aspiring men will encounter such a lord. Who wouldn't want to fight to the death?

Along the way, there were people who kept saluting and greeting, all of whom were from the Dragon Guard. Xiao Yan cherished the rebuilt mink hat capital, and did not pull it to the front line to fight with the Jurchen Tartars, but stayed in the area of Loufu to practice. And after Xiao Yan arrived at the front line, he took Yan Wangzhi's armor to station in the Dragon Guard Army. Anyway, the Dragon Guard is also Xiao Yan's old beginning, and he is very reliable.

In the face of the courtesy of these Dragon Guard soldiers, Wei Dagong was very humble, even though his chest was full of thoughts, he still kept nodding his head as a salute. Sometimes I meet someone who is familiar, although I don't live on a horse. There are also two greetings in the gallop.

The few guards who came with him were naturally confidants, and their faces were almost rotten when they looked at Wei Dagong with a smile all the way. I can't help but complain: "These days. There are a lot of cool words behind the scenes. It's not that Lou Fu showed his face in the first battle. The people who have fought hard in the two armies of Shenwu and Longwei are like mountains and seas, but in the end, they let the general choose a cheaper! Such a bird is polite below, and I don't know what birds have been said behind my back, so why bother to be so polite to them? ”

Immediately, some guards echoed: "Isn't it a bird?" It's nothing more than looking at the eyes of the Lord. Lou is annoyed by a battle, and they will fight if they have the ability! The Jurchen Tartars rushed to such a critical place, the weak soldiers in the lonely city, fought to the death, and finally beheaded the Yinkeshu array, which is a miracle! If the Lord comes and we will compete with the Lord for this merit, it will be recognized. The two people in Shuangzhong Temple didn't die, and we also retreated. What is there to talk about such a person? General, according to my will, there is no need to perfunctory them, we will make a career for them to see! ”

Wei Dagong shook his head and scolded: "Clamp your beak!" Besides, don't get hit in the mink hat, and I'll send you back to the Shenwu Army!" Straight mother thief, don't save me trouble one by one! ”

Although he yelled back at the guards, Wei Dagong's chest was still not reduced by the slightest.

There is no other reason, it is the position where he is now making a big move. King Yan rewarded merit and promoted by supermobility, this courage is enough. deserves it, although there is a flattered heart to die, but it is inevitable that there will be apprehension.

How many people in the army, looking at the position of this re-established real mink hat are hot! It turned out that Zhang Xian was in charge, and no one had anything to say. This is the old team that has been followed since Yan Wangwei was a little older, and his qualifications are older than Han Shizhong. And people are cautious and steady, thoughtful and proper. Everyone is convinced.

However, watching Zhang Xian's promotion is also thrilling. is a little younger than General Yue. But now it is also an official position in Yaojun, and when King Yan goes on an expedition, he can sit in Bianliang and be in charge alone. When King Yan wanted to go to Taiyuan in person to determine the overall situation, he hurriedly summoned Zhang Xian to take over the power of the Divine Guard. It seems to be the identity of General Jin Wu next to King Yan.

At that time, there were a few brothers around General Yue, who else was comparable to Zhang Xian's status? Niu Gao is still hanging around Han Shizhong. Tang Huai Wang Gui was only promoted according to points, and he was mediocre. Isn't it because Zhang Xian has been in charge of the mink hat capital? No matter what King Yan does, Zhang Xian follows King Yan closely?

Now the mink hat has been rebuilt again, although his own family is just a deputy capital Yu Hou's dispatch, and he is only in power for a while. In the future, the dispatch of the real mink hat capital may not fall on his own head. But this is really a big move.

Deep self-obscurity, nature is a road. When the time comes, obediently hand over the position of the master of the mink hat, no matter which army he goes to, at least he can manage the battle army. Even if it is released, it will not take off at least one soldier and horse prison position.

But Wei Dagong is thinking about sitting in this position steadily!

Even if it is from the dragon's work, it is also divided into distant and close relatives. If King Yan soars into the sky for the last time, whether he will take advantage of an ordinary general in another town, or take advantage of the nearest place by King Yan's side, this is simply a question that does not need to be thought about.

But how can we sit down?

Although Lou Fu's combat exploits are dazzling, they are not inferior to him like a tiger, but it is just because he is lying down now. And how long can you eat this piece of military exploits? Only by constantly making more dazzling achievements. talent with shallow qualifications. Sit in a position that is too dazzling.

However, both collared mink hats are both. The people and horses at the bottom of the box can't go to the front line anymore. If you don't go to the front line, how can you make meritorious contributions? But if you want to go to the front line to make meritorious contributions, you can't get mink hats. There is nowhere to resolve the entanglement here!

This is the biggest knot in the heart of Wei Dagong, a young military general who has been high-spirited and eye-catching recently, and he can't sleep at night when he thinks about it, and his eyes are black. Until King Yan suddenly summoned him, Wei Dagong hurriedly rode lightly. I hope that King Yan can explain something important and send it down. It's good to do it again and save a dazzling achievement!

In a short time, Wei Dagong rode through the cong of deer barrages, crossed two trenches, and arrived in front of this small military village. Standing at the gate of the wall, you can even see the Jurchen Tartar army village on the opposite hill that controls the road. This is also one of the reasons why tens of thousands of troops are convinced by King Yan and everyone wants to die. Who else can do this with a person of such status as the Great Song Dynasty!

When he arrived at the gate of the military village, Wei Dagong hurriedly dismounted. There is no other reason. The one who caught him at the gate of the village was Yan Wangzhi's armor. Wei Dagong, the leader of the team, also knew that he was generally from Kansai. Stir the horse spoon in a pot in Yandi. Seeing him take the reins with a straight face, Wei Dagong greeted with a smile.

"Xiong Liu, who is a straight mother thief, doesn't say hello when he sees my brother? Who do you show with a bird's face? If the guards on duty every day feel bored, go to beg King Yan to enter the mink hat capital, and our brothers will go into battle together, okay? ”

Xiong Liu snorted: "Go to your mink hat, I might as well go to Shenwu Longwei as the head of the capital." You can't go into battle now, we are all average, and no one should laugh at anyone. ”

This said to the sore spot in Wei Dagong's heart, but he still smiled on his face, and lowered his voice and asked: "Xiong Liu, we are freezing and starving together in Yandi, you give your brother a private blow, and King Yan summoned me, what is the matter?" ”

Xiong Liu's complexion, which was originally a little loose, suddenly became stiff again, and he commanded a few people beside him to take over Wei Dagong's personal guards and lead them to the side. On that side, outside the fence, there were at least dozens of guard-looking figures, waiting silently. Such a scene made Wei Dagong's heart suddenly.

Is there really any big war that won't happen? You actually want to summon it to the head of the mink hat? How dangerous is this situation? hated this Xiong Liu, who didn't care about the slightest friendship, and didn't show his mouth at all!

Xiong Liu's side is just the first checkpoint, Wei Dagong entered alone in confusion, and saw that in this small military village, all the sergeants were just resting in the tent, patrolling along the way, and even the people who were guarding the watchtower above the wall were all Yan Wangzhi's armor soldiers.

After crossing another level of the deer in the camp, Wei Dagong was led into a cleared empty field. In this empty field, a circle of fences was erected. At this moment, in the muddy ground, at least seventeen or eighteen people who looked like generals were waiting, all of them looking uneasy, and they all looked absent-minded when they talked to each other in low voices.

Wei Dagong fought unequivocally, but his meticulous thinking was far beyond that of ordinary military generals, and even more than he should have at his age. After a glance, I already realized that the generals who were summoned to wait here at this moment had one thing in common, that is, they were all from the Western Army before!

Whether it is in the Dragon Guard Army or the Divine Guard Army - this is also the general of the two armies that Xiao Yan can summon nearby. All of them came from the Western Army, or the White Soldiers, or the Shengjie Army, all of them were old acquaintances. There are still some people who don't know it, and their accents are also Kansai, presumably from the Yongning Army and Xihe who later joined the army.

Could it be that King Yan will make a move against the Western Army?

Wei Dagong is not a person who buries his head in the war, and does not ask about everything the rest of the time. It has always prided itself on its future. Although he and the mink hat are stationed behind, they can always collect as much military information as possible from the front.

He knew that the Yan Yan Army and the Zhejia Army were marching eastward. Trying to occupy the closest favorable position to Taiyuan Province. Oppressing the Jurchen Western Route Army could only go east to find the headquarters of the King of Yan and fight, and the progress was quite smooth for a while.

can scoff at Liu Yanei's actions, Wei Dagong sneered. Liu Yanei misjudged the combat power of King Yan's department, he Wei Dagong would not misjudge, and the Jurchen Tartars would not misjudge!

Even if Yan Yanjun gathered all his belongings, he made a huge noise. It is also united with the so-called elite Zhijia River foreign soldiers. Compared to the part of the Yan King, it is also a soft persimmon. Not to mention that although the Yan Wang's department couldn't fight for a while, the Jurchen Tartars wanted to attack the east, but they were also seeking death!

This is tantamount to sending tens of thousands of Yanyan disciples into the mouth of the Jurchen Tartar tiger. And the rest of the generals of the Western Army can also figure out most of Wei Dagong. Anyway, the consumption of the Yan Wang's department and the Jurchen Tartars is also fighting, and the consumption of the Yan Yanjun and the Jurchen Tartars is also fighting. As long as it doesn't consume on their heads. Just sit back and see. Maybe there will be better opportunities to fish in troubled waters in the future!

If it weren't for the disappointment with the status quo of the Western Army. How can there be so many talented and heroic warriors in Kansai. Surrender to the command of King Yan?

And King Yan urged the military horses to attack westward under such weather and terrain, and King Yan even came to the front line in person. It also proves Wei Dagong's judgment. They are all extremely unoptimistic about the eastward advance of the Yan army and the Zhejia army. But he couldn't watch the west flank of the Hedong battlefield collapse, so he could only go out and try his best to rescue.

In Wei Dagong's view, as long as the joint forces of the Yan army and the Zhejia army are firm, the lord will be able to stabilize his position. Even if there is a small setback, it can support it for a while, maybe it will wait for the Yan Wang's department to rush out of the two river valleys. On the contrary, the Jurchen army was forced to have no room for maneuver, or they could only flee north with heavy injuries, or they could only fight a decisive battle with the army of King Yan.

Although others have bad intentions, they still have to try their best to help them, which is really boring. But it's also the only option at the moment.

But now, it seems that the overall situation is uncertain?

At this time, Wei Dagong, who was very beautiful, arrived, and everyone greeted him for a while. And Wei Dagong greeted him casually, and his heart was just thinking about it upside down.

Then two or three more generals hurried in, covered in mud and water. I heard the voice of a Yan King Zhijia on duty.

"King Yan is coming!"

The generals present immediately stood solemnly, not hearing the slightest sound of coughing and spitting. See another entrance to the inner fence. Xiao Yan had already strode in, and Yue Fei followed closely by his side!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dozens of eyes were cast from the field. It was falling on Xiao Yan's body, turning slightly with his pace.

Xiao Yan only wore ordinary robes, but he was cleaned up neatly and tidy, and the stubble that had emerged in the past few days was also cleaned up. Although he is thin, he is more heroic and sharp.

Since the crossing, I have experienced so many tribulations. The mind is sharpened, and it has long been like iron. The more dangerous it was, the more energetic and high-spirited Xiao Yan felt that he was in high spirits.

It's nothing more than putting in more effort!

Facing dozens of projected gazes, Xiao Yan looked at them one by one. Under the pressure of his own sharp and lightning-like gaze, these hurried generals, some of whom even soaked in muddy water on the front line for several days, and the generals who seemed a little sleepy subconsciously tightened their already straight backs one by one. The spirit and spirit also mentioned the highest for a while, just waiting for Xiao Yan to give the order, and then he did not hesitate to take the order forward and fight with the enemy!

This is the team that he has brought out with hard work in the past few years, blocking all the pressure for them, providing them with a way to promotion, providing them with sufficient military resources and salaries, and the most elite force of the Han family at this moment tempered by bloody battles!

This is also all I have been able to rely on until now!

Sometimes Xiao Yan himself felt that if he had crossed over at the beginning, he had fallen into the soft and rich Bianliang, instead of the land of Yanyun's blood and fire. What will you become now?

A Qingke in Bianliang helped the idle, invented a little new gadget and a little money, held a certain Yanei thick legs, and found a girl worthy of her own aesthetic vision in the tile, and redeemed it to live a quiet life. Then when the catastrophe is coming, pack up your belongings and flee south of the river, and then look at this apocalyptic catastrophe with a little alienation?

Maybe this is also a way of living, and I have a strong ability to adapt............

But this thief has put himself between life and death from the beginning. Then in the thrilling struggle of several years, he created his current self. Let your shoulders always feel heavy, as if under the sky of the last Song Dynasty, every breath must be exhausted!

Xiao Yan knew that he had become an outlier. Every moment is deliberate, every move is deliberate. And the life is getting lighter and lighter, and the corpse mountain and the sea of blood do not frown slightly. Even when necessary, he will not hesitate to put his life on the table of the world's luck.

But I seem to have become accustomed to this kind of life, accustomed to bearing huge and incomparable pressure at any time, and accustomed to the incomparably heavy blood around me!

I have been ruined by this thief. Even with the little mute. It's hard to enjoy ordinary family life.

But why didn't he resent this thief who had been cursed by his own family?

It's just because of this thief. has unfolded such a bloody era in which such a man is really eagle and hard to save the sky. The noble, the heroic, the despicable, the cowardly, are all vividly displayed in front of you!

This trance-like thought was only for a moment. Xiao Yan restrained his mind in a blink of an eye and stood in front of the generals. And Yue Fei stood silently on the side.

Meet the eyes of the generals. Xiao Yan smiled faintly, this smile was as cold as ice. Let the generals in the field who were paying attention to his every move only feel that all the cold hairs stood up for a while.

"In the western battle, Lou Mu took advantage of the heavy rain to send troops to attack, and in one fell swoop attacked the camp behind the Hehejin Duyun Yan Army, and divided the troops to cut off the big river. Zong Han took advantage of the situation and counterattacked............ At this time, the Zhe Keqiu who guarded the back road for Yan Yanjun ran away! ”

All the generals gasped!

It was unimaginable for everyone to imagine that the battle situation on the east and west flanks of the river had become so bad for a while. The main force of the Yan Yan army is already in the midst of death, and defeat is just around the corner.

The battle on the east and west flanks of the river collapsed. The terrible consequences caused by it are simply unthinkable!

Wei Dagong looked at Xiao Yan's figure deadly. As a military general who is willing to figure out the current battle situation, he has a deeper understanding of the bad situation after the defeat of the Yan army, and even feels doubly desperate. At this time, he can only count on King Yan to come up with means to save such a defeat.

And King Yan has never disappointed us!

Xiao Yan really didn't disappoint them.

“………… These bastards fight like this, and only we are the ones who clean up the mess, and we are the only ones who carry them! I called you here because you are all from the Western Army, and now the army can't advance eastward, but you can still get through it with your small team! If the army is defeated and collapsed, you will do your best to gather the defeated army and find a way to fight to the north. Go to the three states outside the river! At that time, there will naturally be someone to pick you up and reorganize the battle line against the western flank of the Jurchen Tartars. We must confine the Jurchen Tartars to the east of the river, and we must be right here to completely defeat the Zonghan Division! ”

The generals gasped in unison.

King Yan's response can only be said to be a means to seek a little slim way to survive in death. Everyone is leading troops to fight, and they know what it is like for an army to collapse, and how difficult it is to gather a defeated army. Although they are all from Kansai, they are not generals in the Yan Army after all! And even if the defeated army is collected, you still have to rush across the north of the Lanshui, lead the troops to retreat into the three states outside the river, and you don't need to count the place where you die!

What's more, King Yan also counted on being able to reorganize the western flank front, continue to limit the Jurchen Tartars to the Hedong battlefield, and finally fight a decisive battle to destroy them!

How many forces are involved in this, how much hope is there to bet on, and what are the possibilities of survival for everyone to be in the midst of it?

Even though everyone has always believed in and worshiped King Yan, when they heard this countermeasure, they only felt that King Yan might have gambled with red eyes!

Xiao Yan coldly watched the generals' expressions change, and said lightly: "If you go this time, you will die for a lifetime." Those who wish to do will do it, and those who wish to stay will keep it for themselves. I don't have the slightest imposition here, that's just a sentence, just listen to your self-determination! ”

Among the generals, many people looked at each other. You can see what each other means. It's better to stay here, and take your subordinates to desperately hit the defense line of the Jurchen Tartars, which is more certain than doing this! I can't do my best, even if I die in battle, I don't have to make King Yan feel that we are just greedy for life and afraid of death!

Xiao Yan's eyes were cold, he just waited there quietly, and didn't say anything more.

This time, if all kinds of means are properly coordinated, the chances of success are not as slim as the generals think. But I don't want to force it down, I must have a brave and clever person who stands up firmly, follows himself, and fights like this!

Just as the generals were about to speak, they heard a voice sound, and every word was bitten categorically.

"I'll go! Straight lady thief, what is there to be afraid of? Tens of thousands of Jurchen Tartars have to copy the back road, and they want to copy a few breads. In the east, there are still troops left to block our two armies. This so-called Jedi is actually full of holes! I don't believe I can't hit a bloody road! Zhe Keqiu ran away, and Liu Yanei couldn't count on it. But in the Yan army, there is still Yang Keshi! He won't abandon the army and leave, and he has enough prestige that we will look for him! The western army did not save it, but it became an enemy again, and was cut off in the east of the river. If he doesn't count on King Yan, who else can he count on? If you can rush out with Yang Keshi and gather a little more strength, in the three states outside the river, you may not be able to suppress the Zhejia army and reorganize the battle line! And a Yellow River, can the Jurchen Tartars really be completely cut off? It's really not good, we can still cross the Yellow River, rely on Yan Yan, and then fight with the Jurchen Tartars! ”

The person who spoke was none other than Wei Dagong.

This young general, with a tense face, just talked eloquently. After saying that, he took a step forward and saluted Xiao Yan: "King Yan, send me away!" As long as I don't die, I will definitely bring the rest of the Yan army to the three states outside the river! ”

Xiao Yan's expression didn't move, but Yue Fei, who was standing beside Xiao Yan, already showed a look of surprise in his eyes!

This young general who became famous because of the trouble of the building, and was dazzling for a while. Even Yue Fei knew that he was quite extraordinary, but he didn't expect that his vision and courage could actually reach such a point!

He and Xiao Yan repeatedly pondered the means of survival in death, and found that there was still a little possibility of reorganizing the front on the east and west flanks of the river. The basis for judgment is not much different from what Wei Dagong said, but Wei Dagong said it more briefly, and there are some troubles and entanglements that cannot be solved by people at his level. But he got to the point in every word. And this kind of courage and adventurous spirit is far beyond the generals in the field!

Under the command of King Yan, what a lot of money!

And Xiao Yan also looked at Wei Dagong.

How many such characters were there at the turn of the two Song Dynasty? If you don't come, will you be silently drowned in blood?

Why is such an era of Han heroes being ruined into a tragic song in history?

Wei Dagong raised his eyebrows, and emphasized again: "King Yan, let me go!" But I can't do it just because of me, and I have to ask King Yan to ask me a few things! ”

Xiao Yan said lightly: "You say." ”

Wei Dagong said loudly: "I want to write to the prince of Yan, it's not me to save them, it's King Yan to save them!" At this time, all they could count on was King Yan! I didn't care much about the young general, but with King Yan behind, it was different! ”

Xiao Yan smiled: "I can give you my knots, this is a small thing." Yan Yanjun still doesn't know that I can only lend a hand? Could it be that they can still count on the Western Army in Hexi? ”

Wei Dagong smiled and said loudly: "The offensive of the two directions to the west must be stepped up, and the more Jurchen Tartars can be left behind, so that there will be more gaps, and the greater the certainty of the Yan army's escape!" ”

Xiao Yan nodded, Wei Dagong is not invited, this thing must also be done. I have never pinned all my hopes on the more than ten generals who were sent to contact Yang Keshi and collect the defeated army!

Wei Dagong hesitated for a moment and asked loudly: "If you lead the Yan Yan army to fight a bloody road, rush through the Lan River, and enter the three states outside the river." The Zhejia army is not something that can be suppressed by this defeated army, and I don't know what accidents will happen. At that time, I don't know who King Yan sent to subdue the three states outside the river and reorganize the whole army? ”

Xiao Yan laughed: "You will naturally know when the time comes." ”

Somehow, this sentence made Wei Dagong covered in blood, and it ignited at once. He is not the only one who gambles on his life. In the meantime, witnessing the heroic cause, even if it is death, what does it matter? Once it is successful, even if it is him, there will be a legend in the history books!

Wei Dagong also laughed, turned to the generals who were still stunned, and said loudly: "King Yan sent a heroic cause to us, and he still can't push it out?" Who dares to go to this game with a certain one? Go and save our tens of thousands of sons in Guanxi, go to save this crisis, and let those birds in the Western Army see the ability of those who have thrown themselves under the command of King Yan! In the future, our names will be indispensable in the Lingyan Pavilion! ”

The more than ten generals who responded to the call were silent for a while, and then stepped forward one by one and saluted.

"King Yan, I'm willing to go!" (To be continued......)
