The situation in northern Jin fell into a subtle change.

For Lashi Jin to fight Tiance, Yelu Wuzhi was originally doing it with great enthusiasm, and when he saw that the Jin army was about to clash with Tang Junsheng, his heart was full of the mentality of watching jokes.

But now, that enthusiasm and snickering are gone. The reason why the Khitan lured the Jin army to the north was to let them attack Tiance, and let the Jin army attack Tiance, the purpose was to delay the sweat and blood cavalry regiment and make the northern and southern armies of Tiance unable to meet.

But now Xue Fu is likely to be gone, just like a golden cicada coming out of its shell, and like a salary drawn from the bottom of the kettle, the strategic purpose no longer exists, whether Gao Xingzhou is fighting Tiance, who wins and who loses on both sides, what else does it matter?

"Do you want to chase now?"

In the embarrassment of several people, Han Kuangsi said.

"What's the use!"

Xiao Shili smashed his fist on the pillar next to him!

"If the sweat and blood cavalry regiment is a 50,000-strong army, our light cavalry can quickly catch up, but if they are also light cavalry, when we catch up with the mandarin ducks, they don't know where to run!"

And Yelu Wuzhi knows more that Tiance Tang Army has a kind of compressed dough cake and compressed beef, after steaming, baking, cutting, stacking, pressing, antiseptic and other more than a dozen processes, can be made into easy-to-carry meat patties, dough cakes, a large piece of compressed beef plus a large piece of compressed dough cake, plus a bag of tea, when hungry, directly cut a small piece of beef and a small piece of pasta, brew a bowl of tea soup, basically pasta meat and various trace elements are all together, enough to ensure the nutritional needs of the march and war.

Flour cakes and meat cakes are both military and civilian, and the civilian flour cakes and meatloaf are not very compressed in order to ensure the taste, and the Khitan people have obtained some through guò trade, and the military meatloaf and pastry are heavier than stones. The Khitan also got some from the captives of the Tiance Army, but the Khitan couldn't get it anyway.

Due to the taste, cost, and other reasons, this kind of compressed food naturally cannot become the mainstream daily military ration, but the light cavalry raid, one person and one horse, put three bags of supplies on the breech of the light cavalry. It can also ensure that the soldiers and horses go far, if there are two horses for one person, one horse rides, and one horse is burdened, the supply time is naturally longer! If there is one person and three horses, there is also a guarantee that there will be an empty horse to transfer.

Thinking of this, Yelu Wuzhi was even more annoyed!

"If Xue Fu had the idea of doing this from the beginning, then it would almost be inevitable that there would be no sweat! It doesn't matter if the sweaty horse is sick or not! ”

Yelu Wu naturally knew that although the sweaty horse was tall, strong and precious. Endurance, explosive deterrence and bonus to soldiers' combat power are very powerful, but they are also troublesome to take care of, what to feed, how to feed, and even the living environment is very exquisite, so sweat and blood horses must be accompanied by baggage when they go to war. The Mobei horse is not, the Mobei horse is relatively short, and the deterrent power and explosive power are not at the same level as the sweat horse, but the horse is cheap and easy to live. It has very low requirements for the environment and food, and has good endurance. In frontal combat, you can't greatly increase the combat effectiveness of your unit knights like a bloody horse, but a long journey and a roundabout attack are a good choice.

"Why can't I think of this! Why! ”

In fact, he is also considered a top wise man among the Khitans, but war is like this, and many decisions that seem taken for granted in hindsight are always unexpected before the answer is revealed.

——————————

"So what now?" Han Deshu said.

Inside the high-rise in Yunzhou City. His mood is the most complicated. As a strategist who stepped on two boats, he had much more room to advance and retreat than others. In the northern Jin Dynasty, it was originally believed that the Khitan was controlling Yiqiē, and Han Deshu contributed most of his wisdom to the Khitan, just leaving a way back for Tiance to advance or retreat. But now that the shape has taken a sharp turn, Han Deshu's mind has changed again.

Tiance is still powerful!

The more half-hearted people are, the more they are afraid of the strong! Seeing that Tiance Tang Jun had unconsciously gained the upper hand again, Han Deshu wanted to hug his thighs again.

——————————

"It's impossible to go out of the city and chase it." Xiao Shili said, "And now that the Tang army of Eilechuan and the army of Gaoxing Zhou and Jin are nearby, they rashly go out of the city to pursue, it is difficult to guarantee how they will react." Besides, if Xue Fu has already arrived at Mandarin Duck Bo, it will be faster to send troops from Youzhou than from our side! ”

"That's ...... now," Han Deshu said cautiously.

Xiao Shili didn't answer, and glanced at Yelu. He is the supreme commander in the military affairs of northern Jin, but when it comes to a larger level of military and political offense and defense, he has to listen to Yelu Wuzhi's opinion.

"Hold your ground for now." Yeluwu said: "First, the beacon fire to prevent the mandarin duck is just a lure for the Tang army, and second, we have to wait for the instructions from Youzhou." ”

Speaking of this, Yeluwu was already sighing in his heart, if Xue Fu had indeed traveled north, no matter what the battle of Shangjing would look like in the future, at least his diplomacy and strategy for going south would have failed. But unlike Han Deshu's half-heartedness, Yelu Wuzhi thought more about the prosperity and disgrace of the Khitan clan at this time.

Confucius said that there must be faithfulness in the ten-chambered city, and the Khitan has been able to prosper in the past few decades, because it is inseparable from the possession of such talents in the clan.

——————————

The beacon fire from the north shocked not only the Khitan in Yunzhou City, but also some high-level officials in the Han army who knew the meaning of the beacon fire.

When Han Deshu returned to the mansion, he listened to Mo Baique's request to see him. Mo Baique hurriedly came to see him and expressed his doubts.

"You're right." Han Deshu said: "It is indeed very likely that the Tiance Army attacked Yuanyang Bo in a roundabout way, and now it is more likely that it has gone north. ”

"They're going to make a surprise attack on Beijing!" Mo Baique had an inexplicable fear.

Different from Xiao Shili's first reaction after hearing about this, "What can thousands of people do to the decisive battle in Shangjing", Mo Baique was a person who was scared by the Modao and Tomahawk Array and chased by the sweat and blood cavalry regiment in the Battle of Guanzhong! Tiance's powerful sweat and blood cavalry regiment is an invincible symbol for him, and as for the number of people, it is secondary-how many people and horses are there in the Modao Battle Axe Formation on the Horse Heights? It's not the same to curb hundreds of thousands of Khitans, unable to advance an inch, and paying a heavy price?

This deep-seated fear of the Khitan subordinate tribes is also one of the most worrying places for Yelu Wuzhi, because once the sweaty cavalry regiment arrives in Shangjing, it will not only cheer up the Tang army, but also deal a blow to the morale of the Liao army.

"It's not your turn to worry about the matter of going to Beijing." Han Deshu said.

Won't it be my turn to worry? Mo Baique couldn't help but scold - it's strange if you don't worry! If Shangjing falls. No matter how good Yan Yun's side is, it will be difficult to protect it! As soon as he thought of Yang Yi, who was said to be more famous than Xue Fu and Xi Sheng, leading hundreds of thousands of troops to surge down, Mo Baique couldn't help but tremble.

Suddenly, he regretted that he didn't fight against Liao with Bai Chengfu at the beginning.

"However, if you're still worried, I can show you a way back." Han Deshu said in a low voice.

"Bachelor's advice, please." Mo Baique hurriedly possessed himself.

"Inside the city of Yunzhou. Now there is still a big man in the Tiance Tang Army! Han Deshu said: "He is different from us, he has not received news now, maybe he is worried, if you ...... now"

Han Deshu won't go on here.

"The bachelor is saying...... Cao? ”

Han Deshu shut up.

Mo Baique was overjoyed and said, "Master Xie for your guidance." ”

When he said goodbye and was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, and glanced back at Han Deshu, his eyes were extremely complicated.

Han Deshu naturally knew what Mo Baique was thinking, but he didn't care. He wants to sell Tiance a good, but now he will send someone to inform Cao Yuanzhong, in case he is obtained by Yelu House, it will not be washed, but by Mo Baique's people, no matter how it is shown in the end, he still has room to advance and retreat.

——————————

Cao Yangong hadn't come back yet, but Cao Yuanzhong had already keenly noticed that the atmosphere in Yunzhou City was weird. Even the post house, which was originally pretending to be loose, suddenly strengthened its security and surveillance.

But what happened?

Cao Yuanzhong was apprehensive. At this moment, there was a "rumor" from someone in the kitchen!

"There is a beacon fire coming from the mandarin duck!"

Balefire?

Mandarin duck park!

Just two simple words. But Cao Yuanzhong has already understood in his heart!

For nearly half a year from last year to now, Tiance has widely deployed spies in northern Shanxi, and naturally knows that the Khitan has set up a warning beacon fire between the Elechuan and Linhuang Mansion - this is not a difficult thing to inquire about. After Cao Yuanzhong entered the northern Jin Dynasty, as the highest-ranking minister of Tiance in this region, all the heavy news would definitely reach him in the end.

As for what is the geographical location of Mandarin Duck Park. Cao Yuanzhong understands better than anyone else!

"Xue Fu! You're a big man! Even I hid it! ”

In that moment, Cao Yuanzhong gritted his teeth!

He's angry! It's not that I'm angry with anything else, it's that I'm angry that I was even used as a gun by Xue Fu!

However, this anger only lasted for a short time, and Cao Yuanzhong regained his composure.

Naturally, he was well aware. Xue Fu's strategic idea will not be a temporary idea, it must be arranged for a long time, since it is planned in advance, then even if it is hidden from everyone, it will not be hidden from Zhang Mai.

If Zhang Mai knew, but didn't tell himself, it would mean that Zhang Mai wanted to hide himself in the dark!

In other words, it is not Xue Fu who will use himself as a gunman, but Zhang Mai who will use himself as a gunman!

"It's annoying!"

In an instant, Cao Yuanzhong thought that despite all the things he had experienced, his status in Zhang Mai's heart, not to mention being tied with Yang Yi, was inferior to Xue Fu - his political acumen was higher than his military acumen!

If it was a person like Wang Renyu, he would be embarrassed and angry in this situation, and even resigned on the spot to express his dissatisfaction; If it is a person like Guo Zhang, being in this situation will be psychologically hit by Zhang Mai's distrust of himself, and his feelings will be depressed and even collapsed.

But Cao Yuanzhong was an increasingly sophisticated political figure, and his anger only lasted for less than a moment, and the whole person regained his calm. He quickly thought about what kind of person Zhang Mai was.

"How could I have been so confused and stupid before! I thought that I could really rely on my three-inch incorruptible tongue to compete with Yang Yi in the Northeast! ”

However, when he thought of this, he was not thinking about it with annoyance, but in this incident, he further saw through Zhang Mai's temperament and his own situation.

He knew very well that although it was impossible to establish a credit comparable to Yang Yi's, the more favorable the Military Bureau was to Tiance, the smoother his affairs would be.

And more importantly, Zhang Mai is so "calculating" himself, with his character, he must be ashamed of himself in his heart! The lord of man is ashamed of his courtiers. If the courtiers are resentful, the lord may become angry and set the stage for the rupture of the relationship between the monarch and the minister, but if the courtiers are not worried or complaining, and still act faithfully, it will be different.

Zhang Mai was ashamed of himself in this matter. In the future, he will compensate himself for other things - so in the short term this is a bad thing, but in the long run, it is a rare political capital for himself and even the Cao family.

After figuring this out, Cao Yuanzhong not only calmed down, but even regained his motivation. After this incident, he not only had a clearer control of the political situation within the Tiance Imperial Court, but also honed his mental temperament to a higher level.

"Send me a message, and ask Yelu to come to the post house to talk."

——————————

Within Huairen County.

Zhedeyan received a secret order from the Khan Blood Cavalry Regiment!

The order is passed down orally. No words.

In the secret order, it was required that from today onwards, he would turn his actions into a low-key manner, and the first qiē action should be aimed at preserving the various military forces of Tiance in northern Jin, and not to conflict with Khitan and Shi Jinsheng for the time being.

Just when Zhe De Yan was puzzled by this secret order, another piece of news brought by the envoy made him dispel all the urge to ask: "General Xue Fu has already gone north to Linhuang Mansion, and now it should have passed the Mandarin Duck Anchor, and the army of Eilechuan is under the management of General Li Yiyin. And also. The marshal may also go north, driving to the Elechuan. ”

The messenger's words were untouched. Let Zhi Delan and Zhao Pu set off turbulent waves in their hearts. With the wisdom of the two of them, they naturally immediately understood the meaning behind the secret order:

Since Xue Fu has gone north and Zhang Mai is coming, the focus of the entire international strategy at this stage will be on Beijing! If the victory of Shangjing is decided, Yang Yi will inevitably lead troops south, and at that time, Zhang Mai will advance eastward in the Eilechuan River. Two pinch-attack, that kind of prestige is exciting to think about!

If there are volunteers in the north of Jin at that time, if the Khitan has not left, it will be a turtle in the urn, and Shi Jin's military horses may not have the courage to fight the combined forces of Zhang Mai and Yang Yi, then it will be almost effortless to collect the entire north of Jin!

And before that. If they want to challenge the armies of Liao and Jin with weak forces, it is unnecessary.

"I see." Zhede sighed.

Zhao Pu was also sighing.

At the beginning, Xue Fu had actually told him very clearly: "Yanyun, I will definitely not enter, Jinbei is now just a disease of scabies, gains and losses are not important, and the Huangshui side is the key to life and death!" ”

Xue Fu told Zhao Pu at that time, asking him to re-enter the northern Jin Dynasty, and told him to fold Deran: "No matter how Huairen chooses, you must cooperate with my major affairs, the gains and losses of the northern Jin Dynasty are irrelevant, and it is the greatest merit to contain the Khitan soldiers and horses in Yunzhou." ”

The actions of Zhe Deyan and Zhao Pu during this period of time did also play a role in diverting the attention of the Khitan, but because they were too deep in the play, they forgot Xue Fu's original advice - this is also because the two are too young and lack experience.

But in this incident, Zhao Pu also saw Xue Fu's mood characteristics, and what he saw from it was not cunning, but innocence-that is a general who can go straight to the point without wavering when he identifies the target.

"Let's respond to the state quickly! In case the Khitan and Shi Jin dogs jumped off the wall in a hurry. Zhao Pu said to Zhe Deyan: "At the same time, if the news comes out, as long as the news comes out, the heroes of northern Jin will definitely wait and see." What we have to do now is to hibern! ”

——————————

In this contest between Tang, Liao, and Jin in the north of Jin, Shi Jin appeared to be the most passive.

When both Tang and Liao began to make new responses to the new situation, Gao Xingzhou was still ignorant of the strategic changes in the surrounding areas! This is not Gao Xingzhou's problem, but Shi Jin's failure to keep up with the entire diplomatic and espionage system at all, and Yelu Wuzhi obviously does not intend to share the latest information with Gao Xingzhou.

Gao Huaide has not come back yet, and Gao Xingzhou has gradually revealed some shortcomings of the Tiance Tang Army in the scout temptation again and again. If it was Yelu Wuqing, it was naturally clear what the reason for Tang Jun's defects was at this time, but Gao Xingzhou didn't know it yet.

He said to the adjutant general: "Tiance starts from the northwest, the foundation is shallow after all, Xue Fu is known as a famous general, and there are quite flaws when the army is arranged. ”

His evaluation can be described as in one sentence, this time Xue Fu left a group of sweat and blood horses, but he took away three thousand sweat and blood cavalry regiments, each soldier is equipped with three horses, one-third is Mobei, one-third is mixed-race, and one-third is party horses. If there are enough horses today, there will be no pressure to send out 9,000 war horses. Xue Fu's sweat and blood cavalry regiment has another characteristic, almost every cavalry is proficient in equestrianism, and taking care of horses is the ability to take care of the family, so it is no problem for one person to control the march of three horses.

After the 3,000 core troops left, the army that remained in northern Jin became the main force of the party army. In addition, a large number of auxiliaries and the newly annexed Elechuan tribe, nearly half of which were elite of the party, were arranged in the northwest of Yunzhou, led by Li Yixiu, monitoring the passage of Yunzhou City to the north, so even if Li Yiyin dispatched troops and horses according to Xue Fu's arrangement, the Tang army that entered the Great Wall inevitably showed flaws in the arrangement of troops.

Gao Xingzhou didn't know that the international situation had changed, so he corroborated the information obtained by the scouts and the information brought by his son a few days ago, and immediately decided to enter the army. He was cautious and acted quickly, and carried out a small-scale night attack that night, burning down a camp of the Tang army, causing a lot of chaos to the Tang army.

Gao Xingzhou didn't expect the victory to come so easily. On the contrary, there were some worries that the Tang army was luring the enemy.

As a result, the next day, Li Yiyin shrank his troops and horses, preparing to retreat to the Great Wall. At the same time, put Cao Yangong back.

Although Cao Yangong is not very old. But he still knew the severity and kept silent about Gao Huaide along the way, so Gao Huaide didn't get any information from Cao Yangong. When he returned to the army, he reported some of the situation within the Tang Army to his father, and strongly instigated his father to pursue.

Gao Xingzhou chased Li Yiyin's tail with the main force of soldiers and horses. He couldn't retreat calmly, but he didn't rush closer, but with a thousand cavalry divisions, he detoured back to the southeast to attack, and Li Yiyin broke off with the party's headquarters. was fighting wits and courage with Gao Xingzhou, but as a result, the thousand cavalry division rushed in from the southeast, causing chaos in the retreating Tang army, and Gao Huaide led more than ten horsemen to gallop among tens of thousands of people, as if entering a no-man's land! By the time Li Yiyin sent someone to help, Gao Huaide had already gone far.

In this battle, the Jin army won a complete victory, although the casualties were not many, but it disrupted the position of the Tang army, and what made Gao Huaide even more excited was that he captured more than 500 sweaty and bloody horses in this battle, which was a huge achievement, and Gao Huaide was more excited than the winning level.

Thinking of defeating the sweat and blood cavalry regiment, the white horse and silver spear regiment were excited, although Gao Xingzhou felt that there was something strange about the shape, but at this time he could not help but be coerced by the army's heart, while reporting to the rear, while continuing to march, although Li Yiyin was more cautious after this defeat, and did not give Gao Xingzhou a chance to raid, but he was forced out of the old site of the Great Wall by Gao Xingzhou when he retreated step by step!

Although Gao Xingzhou had always been suspicious, he couldn't help but get excited, he still restrained his subordinates and asked his subordinates to set up camp rigorously and not to be greedy for merit, so as to prevent the Tang army from cheating and raiding, but he did not stop advancing.

At the same time, the good news spread to the south, inside the Yanmen Pass, An Chongrong heard that Gao Xingzhou actually relieved the siege of Yunzhou lightly, and even drove the sweat and blood cavalry regiment out of the Great Wall.

Yao Yuanfu admonished: "Stay behind, if things are abnormal, there will be monsters!" Although Gao Xingzhou is known as a famous general, the white horse and silver spear are indeed the elite of our dynasty, and the sweat and blood cavalry regiment may not be lost, but to say that it can win lightly, it is absolutely impossible! There must be something wrong here. ”

"Although there may be a problem," Shi Chonggui said: "But if Tiance is really a strong outsider, if we can't shrink back like this, I'm afraid the credit will be snatched by others, and if there is no credit, forget it, but if others have made great contributions, and we haven't even gone out of Yanmen Pass, I'm afraid that I won't be able to explain to my father at that time." ”

"Stay, in fact, we don't have to rush for a while." An Chongrong said: "From Yanmen Pass to Yunzhou City, there is only Shuozhou Yingzhou in the middle, and now Shuozhou we control half of it, Yingzhou troops are expected to dare not intercept our army, from Yanmen, light cavalry galloping, Yunzhou can be reached in a few days." We can wait a little longer and sit back and watch the success or failure of Gao Xingzhou - if Gao Xingzhou is indeed successful, as long as we reach the city of Yunzhou before Du Chongwei, the credit will still be ours - after all, it is our duty to recover Yunzhou; If Tiance really has a treacherous plan, then we can also ensure that nothing is lost. ”

Yao Yuanfu said again: "In addition, there is another strategy, the Khitan has been unwilling to hand over the northern part of Jin, because we have not fought a decisive battle with Tiance as an excuse, now that Gao Xingzhou has already marched along the line, we can send a messenger to Yunzhou, asking Xiao Zhili to hand over the city, if Xiao Zhili does not agree, we will make a plan." If Xiao Shili agrees, we can immediately send a light cavalry to Yunzhou, and no matter how great Gao Xingzhou's contribution to the front line is, it is just a wedding dress for us. ”

Shi Chonggui was overjoyed and adopted Yao Yuanfu's opinion. Immediately, while holding the troops still, he sent envoys to Yunzhou.

——————————

Soon after their envoys left the customs, Gao Xing Zhou's envoys fell to Yizhou - this is the northeastern border between Shi Jin and Liao, Du Chongwei's army on the eastern route has arrived here, from Yizhou to the north, as long as you cross the Juma River, then enter the boundary of Youzhou.

Yizhou is not far from Yunzhou, as long as you pass the Taihang Pass.

Receiving Gao Xingzhou's good news, Du Chongwei was not happy for a while. Rather, I was surprised.

"The surname Gao, really relieved the siege of Yunzhou, and forced the Tiance Tang army to retreat?"

Not only him, but even Jing Yanguang and Fu Yanqing also found it unbelievable, but the envoy brought them more than just empty words - there were fifty genuine sweat and blood BMWs as proof!

Anything else can be pretended, and even the level may be fake, but the sweat and blood BMW can't be fake, and there are as many as fifty horses in one breath!

The messenger said: "General Gao attacked the Tang army at night. defeated Tiance, and that battle not only killed the enemy and counted the money. Cut thousands of levels, and even captured more than 350 sweat and blood horses, this is 50 of them, the rest are afraid of mistakes on the road, temporarily stay in the army. ”

Du Chongwei ordered someone to fetch the sweat and blood horses, and saw that the fifty horses were all extremely powerful—although these fifty were not the purest sweat horses. But the sweat that comes out is also red!

After verifying that the sweat-blooded BMW fruit was not false, Du Chongwei turned overjoyed, and then summoned Jing Yanguang and Fu Yanqing to discuss, Jing Yanguang said: "This victory came strangely, if it weren't for these fifty sweat-blooded BMWs. I can't believe anything. ”

Fu Yanqing said: "The things on the battlefield are dangerous and unpredictable. The white horse silver spear was originally the elite of our dynasty, and I heard that there was a problem with Tiance's sweat and blood horse, maybe it was Tiance Tang Army that had a gap, and Gao Xingzhou took advantage of the chaos to attack it, and it is not known. ”

Until now, even if Tiance is defeated, all parties still dare not underestimate the combat power of the Tang Army.

Jing Yanguang said again: "Before, the Khitan kept delaying under the pretext that we did not fight with Tiance, but now we are not only at war with Tiance, but also have achieved a great victory, and see what else the Khitan has to say, we have to send another envoy to ask Yelu Shuogu to hand over the state and county as soon as possible!" ”

Fu Yanqing said: "Youzhou will send envoys, and Luoyang also needs to play a table, so that His Majesty will know the hard work of our campaign." ”

Du Chongwei said: "That's exactly how it should be! He called Gao Xingzhou's envoy and said: "The White Horse Silver Spear Regiment really lives up to its reputation, you go back and reply to General Gao, and this commander will definitely play to ask His Majesty to be rewarded!" Tell General Gao to use troops well, and I will send him additional reinforcements. He also secretly instructed the messenger to send all the sweaty and bloody horses over as soon as possible, "Not a single horse is missing!" ”

He also sent envoys respectively, while going to Youzhou to urge Yelu Shuogu to deliver Youzhou, and at the same time sent people to Luoyang overnight to play a chapter, known as "cut 5,000 levels, capture 250 horses of sweat and blood!" ”

However, the envoy had just come out, and there was a news from the northern part of Jin, saying that Du Chongwei couldn't wait to grow wings and call the envoy back!

That news, like bamboo shoots after the rain, came out of all the states and counties in northern Shanxi overnight: Xue Fu has gone north, and Zhang Mai is about to come south!

The news is very concise, but it is like a slap in the face for Gao Xingzhou, who has chased out of the Great Wall! In just a blink of an eye, the morale of the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment was like a heavy drop from a thousand-foot cloud to a ninefold abyss!

It turned out that it wasn't the sweat and blood cavalry regiment that lost to itself!

Tiance retreated just because Xue Fu was not there at all!

Xue Fu is not there because he went north!

But it doesn't matter, what matters is - Zhang Mai is coming!

At this time, Li Yiyin was still retreating, but Gao Xingzhou had no intention of attacking at all. At this time, as long as you are not a fool, you will know that the reason why Li Yiyin retreated was not because of defeat, but because they were waiting!

Waiting for Zhang Mai to go north, and even, waiting for the Eagle Yang Iron Cavalry that broke through the desert north last year to sweep south!
