Volume 3 Mending the Crack in the Sky Chapter 109 (13)

On the banks of the Yellow River, the sky gradually brightened.

Standing on the wall of the Jinning Military City and looking north, you can see a small military village along the river, a platform, a patrol shop, and a fire shop for the transfer of people to rest.

In these places, smoke and flames rose one after another, and the gray pillars of smoke were pulled up obliquely into the sky by the river wind, as if countless beacon fires were ignited in an instant.

On the north bank, there were Jurchen iron horsemen everywhere, and by dawn, there were even brigades of infantry rolling away. Rest around. Everywhere there are Jurchen banners flying, and everywhere there are scenes of people shouting and neighing. There are even Jurchen military horses swaggering and began to bury the pot to make rice, and the rising gray smoke column was mixed with white cooking smoke.

The ferries on the east bank of the Yellow River have also been controlled by the Jurchen army, and more than 20 ferries have pulled up the Jurchen black flag. Near the left side of the ferry, the crossbow machines captured in the various small forts were pulled over to cover the ferry.

Only the area around the main village of Kehu Village is still in the hands of the Song army, and the Jurchen army and horses failed to raid last night. When it came to dawn, he did not blindly attack, but a large number of infantry troops who mainly relied on the pressure of cangtou bullets besieged the area of Kehu Village, and began to dig trenches and erect fences, as if they were ready to encircle it for a long time, even if it was slowly grinding, it was necessary to pull out the nails on the east bank of the Yellow River.

Assaulting from Lanzhou to the east to this place is far more limited than from Loufu to Taiyuan, but the Jurchen army and horses went their separate ways, their secrets and rapidity, and their tenacity and courage on the way to attack still exceeded the imagination of those Yan Yan troops stationed on the east bank of the Yellow River stationed in the Jinning Army!

Even before Xiao Yan's strategic deployment adjustment was far from complete, the Jurchen army turned around and crossed Lanzhou at once. Sweep the eastern part of the Yellow River of the Jinning Army!

On the walls of the Jinning Military City. Surrounded by a group of guards. Several figures who looked like heavy generals tried their best to look at the scene on the east bank of the surging Yellow River, looked at the rising pillars of smoke, and saw the ferry that fell into the hands of the Jurchen army.

A military general who is held in the middle of the stars and moons for the guards, tall and well-maintained, with a beautiful hair that is breathable and shiny, and carefully wrapped with a beard sac underneath. He also put on his armor when he stood on the wall. This armor is not only polished dazzlingly, but also gilded with silver, and when the sun shines, it shines like a god. Even the guards around him, under the armor, are also splendid brocade clothes, and their feet are silky, like the pomp and circumstance of the feather forest of the period.

This good-looking military general is none other than Liu Guangshi, the general of Xiao Liu, who is now actually in control of the entire Yan Yan Army. I should be forty years old this year, but I look like I'm in my early thirties. On weekdays, there is a quiet feast, where it seems to be a person from the gate. It's like a Tsinghua family that has accumulated over many generations.

However, at this moment, Liu Guangshi, who has a great wealth and Tsinghua atmosphere, is pale. After looking at the scene on the other side for a while, he scolded: "What is Jing Keguang, the main owner of Kehu Village, doing to eat?" Only let the Jurchen Tartars cover up in front of them and never find out? After a certain army is relieved of the siege, regardless of whether he is from the Jing family or not, he has to take care of his feelings, and he must practice military law! ”

Liu Guangshi was furious, and the generals under his command hung their heads, and none of them dared to speak up.

Although Liu Guangshi finally arrived at the Jinning Army in person, it was already rare to be a former enemy. But these days, in addition to reaching out to the small species to ask for all kinds of military resources, all kinds of support. It was in the Jinning Military City that the Japanese and Japanese held a wine meeting, and they also brought the music team into the front line of the enemy.

It is true that there are a lot of military funds sent to the Jinning military office to prepare to cross the river, and even more can be detained in the hands of Liu Guangshi. And the military horses under his command, even if they were preparing to fight, Liu Guangshi did not pay rewards according to the usual practice, and the proportion of military salaries was even higher.

The commander is like this, and the former enemy soldiers naturally follow the same example. Everywhere there are forts, unprepared, only thinking that the Jurchen Tartars are bent on rushing to Taiyuan. The Jurchens attacked with light cavalry at night, and attacked and set fire, and how many defenders were caught off guard, and they were beaten and scattered! Jing Keguang also defended Kehu Village to the death, waiting for rescue, and was already a rare loyal and diligent general under Liu Guangshi.

In the time and space where there is no Xiao Yan, this Liu Guangshi led the army under his command to protect Jiangnan, but it is also a high-level wine meeting every day. The Jurchen army crossed the river for three days under the leadership of Wanyan Zongbi before it was discovered by this Liu Guangshi. Zhao Gou was almost cornered by the Jurchen army searching the mountains and seas, mostly thanks to this Liu Guangshi.

At this moment, the scene of the wolf bèi that the Jinning army was suddenly attacked was actually regarded as Liu Guangshi's normal level, which is not surprising at all.

After Liu Guangshi scolded Jing Keguang, he poured his anger on the Jurchens: "The of the straight lady thief, who is bent on fighting the south from the east, we just don't want to trouble you." But they only come to fight with us, what does this make sense? Do you think that our Western Army is easy to bully? ”

For Zhekeqiu, let the Jurchen Tartars go deep into the south, and copy the back road of Xiao Yan's army. Liu Guangshi is also happy to see it. Among the generals of the Western Army, he is quite hostile to Xiao Yan.

In the war against Yan, Liu Yanqing was the only unlucky one among the heavy generals of the Western Army, and he is still in the management. The remaining division of the main field force of the Huanqing Army was also adapted by the imperial court. Although Liu Guangshi now has mastered the Yan Yan army through the exchange of guò, he was driven out of the hometown of the Huanqing army.

With such an encounter, how could Liu Guangshi not hate Xiao Yan, who benefited the most from the war against Yan?

The last time Bianliang was in turmoil, Yao Gu and his son led the army eastward. Those who prepared to follow up the military horses to cooperate with Yao Gu's father and son were Liu Guangshi. However, the Yan Yan Army itself is weak in the Western Army, and Liu Guangshi is not the kind of person with super strong action, and his grasp of the Yan Yan Army is not as good as the old Huanqing Army, and he has not yet gathered and mobilized the elite of his henchmen. The dust had already settled in Bianliang, and the Xihe Xuanfeng of Yao Gu's father and son was all wiped out and all fell into Xiao Yan's bag.

Afterwards, in addition to scolding Nanlaizi fiercely, Liu Guangshi did not secretly say a few lucks.

With such a mentality, how can Liu Guangshi be willing to rectify the army and horses on the east bank of the Yellow River, transfer the elite soldiers as soon as possible, and prepare to aid Taiyuan from the west? Yiqiē was still unprepared, just transferring a certain amount of military food and salary, so as to perfunctory blame the small species who had been urging this matter.

But I didn't expect it. The Jurchen Tartars didn't even realize the kindness of his little Liu general. Turn your head and hit him!

Liu Guangshi cursed fiercely. I can only give up. The mess in front of you must be cleaned up. The Jurchen Tartars have all arrived at the doorstep, and they can't tolerate the Western Army fighting without selling some strength!

The horns on the other side of the Yellow River whined, and the Jurchen military horses scattered everywhere gathered one after another. After days of rushing and fighting, these Jurchen military horses still moved quickly, moved solemnly, and moved immediately when they heard the order.

This Jurchen army, in the sound of orders. The respective camps were divided. Or use the flint fort platform left by the Song army, or build a military village by yourself. The Jurchen cavalry dismounted to rest, and the auxiliary armies of all kinds began to build operations, looking ready to set up a large camp on the bank of the Yellow River, and then cross the river to attack.

You can also see many girls who look like real army generals, surrounded by the guards, straight up to the heights of the east bank, looking in the direction of the Jinning army on the opposite bank.

It turned out that the Jurchen military horses scattered everywhere were arranged in such a way, and they were a solemn and neat army. Just pressed on the other side of the Yellow River, this is murderous. It seems that he has crossed the river and pounced in front of the generals on the city wall!

Liu Guangshi's eyes were also red. These Jurchen Tartars are not interesting, and if they have to find someone to fight, then they are not easy to provoke! He couldn't even bite a new southerly son, so he turned around and went west to fight. Our Western Army has been famous for decades, which is comparable to the son from the south?

Enemies on both sides, but it is you Jurchen Tartars who seek your own death!

Liu Guangshi, who was already determined to fight this battle, calmed down and carefully speculated about how to fight this battle.

The purpose of this battle is obvious, to fight the Jurchen Tartars back from the east bank of the Yellow River! Let them know that the Western Army can't gnaw, and honestly go back and go desperately with Xiao Yan.

It is not possible to simply defend the river, there is no cover from the east bank. A Yellow River can be crossed everywhere, and the Jurchen cavalry has come ashore, and the hometown on the west bank of the Yellow River will be destroyed. And if you simply guard the river, how can you beat the Jurchen Tartars away?

Crossing the river head-on and counterattacking, that is not to be thought of. The brigade of infantry troops rushed to the opposite bank with great difficulty, and the Jurchen iron cavalry rushed, which was a big defeat and loss.

Liu Guangshi, who was in deep thought, couldn't help but look north, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly turned to a general beside him. This general is tall and rough in character, it is Yang Keshi, the fierce general of the Western Army who led the Baiqi soldiers before!

"General Yang, how do you say this battle will be fought?"

Since the old breed handed over the Bai Zhan soldiers to Xiao Yan, by the way, he handed over the responsibility of the Western Army to fight hard in Yandi. If Yang Keshi was wrong, Lao Chong arranged for him to send him several times, but Yang Keshi shirked it.

Until the old seed passed away, the Xihe army selected the Feng Jingqi and was wiped out because of the Yao family's father and son. For a time, the cavalry strength of the Western Army fell too much. Xiao Chong recommended Yang Keshi to the imperial court as the first general of the new Huanqing Army, and at the same time of organizing and training a new cavalry group, Yang Keshi will be his own confidant in the future, and he can also take advantage of the situation to further truly control the entire Huanqing Army.

The sponsorship of the small species, at this time, the Great Song Dynasty under Xiao Yan's control was naturally guaranteed. Yang Keshi was able to relead his most beloved cavalry, and he was also refreshed at once. In a short period of time, Yang Keshi was busy everywhere, and even took out his own private pocket to find a way to get more good military equipment. Xiao Chong also strongly supported, taking advantage of the temporary decline in the control of the Yao family on Xihe Road, and even drew hundreds of horsemen and thousands of Qingtang good horses from there to Yang Keshi.

In less than two months, Yang Keshi had already pulled out a cavalry group of about ten cavalry commanders, close to three thousand cavalry. It's just that he hasn't had time to further rectify, and because of the urgency of Hedong, it is necessary to strengthen the Yanyan line. The rest of the Western Army's military horses had their own hills, and they could not move for a while. Yang Keshi, a military horse belonging to the henchmen of the small race, was sent to the Yanyan army, and Yang Keshi, as a guest general of the Huanqing army, temporarily accepted the command of Liu Guangshi.

On weekdays, Liu Guangshi is not kind to Yang Keshi and other families, and he does not treat generals who have worked hard from the bottom very well. And Yang Keshi's status has reached after all, even though he was nominally sent by a small species to accept Liu Guangshi's command. But Yang Keshi's independence is also strong enough. For all these reasons, the relationship between Liu Yang and Yang is just general. What is the benefit, Liu Guangshi would never think of a village man like Yang Keshi. Yang Keshi doesn't care, what tasks Liu Guangshi explains, he can do it, and he should continue to train his military horses. It was difficult for Liu Guangshi to get out of the Jinning Military City, and Yang Keshi also led the army to follow and went to the edge of the Yellow River to see the combat preparations of the Yan army.

The east coast was suddenly attacked at night, and Liu Guangshi went to the city to watch in the morning. Yang Keshi came in the middle of the night. When Liu Guangshi went to the city, the two didn't say hello. The relationship is cold to this point.

But when it comes to fighting a tough battle. Yang Keshi's military horse. But don't try to get out!

Hearing Liu Guangshi's simple question, the generals under his command all knew that the general would mainly involve Yang Keshi in this battle, and he would not let Yang Keshi's department bear the most arduous task.

All the generals lowered their heads and speculated to themselves. Is Yang Keshi just leaving? Or is it going to be a small race? Or do you simply ask for orders to guard the back road?

Facing Liu Guangshi's gaze, Yang Keshi held the battlement with his hand, looked at the other side, and was silent for a long time. Liu Guangshi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he was just waiting for him.

If Yang Keshi had the intention of avoiding war. He dared to take down Yang Keshi's 3,000 cavalry! Then send this village Han back to the little seed Xianggong to cry.

Among the Jurchen troops on the opposite bank who were waiting to camp and set up a village, hundreds of small figures were launched at this time, and they were whipped and driven away by the Jurchen armor soldiers, and these figures were driven to the river beach, although they stood on top of the Jinning military city, and they could not see very clearly. But anyone can imagine that this is the defeated army captured on the east bank last night!

Hundreds of Jurchen Tartars surrounded the riverbank, and suddenly, they were shooting arrows with their bows and arrows. Feathered arrows flew down the locusts, and these hundreds of figures were hit by arrows one after another. Lying on the river beach. Some people roared to rush forward and fight hard, but they didn't have time to get closer. was cut down by the Jurchen army's spurs. Some people turned and jumped into the Yellow River, but the feather arrows kept catching up. These figures rose and fell a few times on the surging Yellow River, and they were swept away!

In a short time, these captives were slaughtered by the Jurchen Tartars. The Jurchen Tartar army on the other side suddenly let out a huge cheer and ridicule, and the sound swirled, all the way to the city wall of Jinning Military City! The spears are like a forest, undulating in the Jurchen army array, these Jurchen Tartars, stepping on the Yellow River of the Han family, are laughing and demonstrating towards the Yan army!

On the city wall, all the generals of the Yan army clenched their fists. Even if it is a clay figure, it has a three-point earthy character. Not to mention the slasher who licks the blood with a knife? After the generals cursed a few words fiercely on the battlements, they turned around and looked at Liu Guangshi to ask for battle.

Under this look, he found that General Liu, who was usually very good, was full of blue and white, not like anger, but as if he was a little shocked by the ferocity and cruelty of this Jurchen Tartar!

There was a bang, but it was Yang Keshi who slammed the battlement, and the big fist of the bowl hit it with all his strength, and the rammed earth with the buttress was knocked off!

"General Liu, you want to beat these Jurchen Tartars. It's going to cross the river and fight! Don't cross the river in person, but in the north to Hehejin! The last general dared to be the pioneer and crossed the river north to ensure the ferry. In response to General Liu's main army, he crossed one after another. Then they will join the army outside the Zhejia River and oppress the Jurchen Tartars to the south. You can contact Yanwang in the east and go straight in! Such a big river on one side, a big army on both sides. Fight the Jurchen Tartars fiercely! ”

Liu Guangshi finally restrained his expression, and looked calm again. Looking back at the faces of the generals, they all looked eager to try.

Cross the river to the north and connect with the foreign army of the Zhejia River. Relying on Fengfu Linzhou and the Baode army to steadily oppress the Jurchen army to the south, if they can fight with the army and horses of Xiao Yan, the king of Yan, to seek a favorable battle situation. It's a good strategic solution.

There are a dozen to do so!

Among the generals, there were people who volunteered for their lives. Willing to be the pioneer of this first, rush to the north first, and secure the Hehejin ferry!

Liu Guangshi was the first to shout: "Okay! That's it! General Yang took you as the vanguard, first marched north, ensured that the Hehe River was crossed, and the Jurchen Tartars pressed the Yellow River to the Yellow River, and did not drive them away, and we were vegetarians in the Western Army. In front of the prince of the small species and the court, he must also be explained! Please also ask General Yang to set off with his troops! ”

The generals were stunned again, what Liu Guangshi meant in his words. How did you drive these Jurchen Tartars away? Do you just want these Jurchen armies to fight Yan King Xiao Yan?

Yang Keshi glanced at Liu Guangshi deeply, and clenched his fists to take his life.

No matter what Liu Guangshi's idea is, there is a saying that is right. The Jurchen Tartars pressed to the edge of the Yellow River, in front of the gate of Shaanxi. If there is no war, the prince of the small species will not be able to explain it! As for how to fight after crossing the river, and do your duty as a general!

On the other side of the Yellow River, the Jurchen army was lined up, and the sound of horns sounded desolately. The Jurchen Iron Cavalry was mobilized, unfolded along the river, and stationed directly against the river defense, as if it could be crossed at any time, and went straight into Yanyan and into the hinterland of Guanzhong!

Behind the Jurchen army array, Kehu Village was surrounded by heavy infantry troops, and they were also rushing to build all kinds of siege equipment, as if they were going to pull out this important military village as much as they could.

On the east bank of the Yellow River, the bloody atmosphere of the Tartars rose to the sky!

And on the west bank of the Yellow River. Jinning Military City. There are also iron horsemen who move in a hurry. Heading north. Prepare to lead the army and cross the river to fight!

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

In Fugu County, the Fuzhou Governor's Office of Hedong Road, Hedong Road appeases the deputy envoy Zhe Yanzhi.

The soldiers of the folded family were on duty outside, and in the festival hall, the two of them sat and stood together.

The man standing was less than forty years old, with an elegant appearance, a robe and a crown, and a tall figure. The muscles and bones are strong, but they are the foundation of the military general's heirloom.

It was the deputy envoy of Hedong Road to pacify, and the son of the former famous general of the Zhe family who went out of the town outside the river.

The person who was seated was a little older than Orihiko, with a black and red face and a beard. A big grin disapproving look. But it was at this time that the governor of Fuzhou, who held the power of the Fold Army, could ask for it.

Zheyan was really a little angry, walking around in the festival hall.

Although his position is different from Xiao Yan's, he deeply hates Xiao Yan for coercing the king, and he is a reckless person. Out of the town and outside the river, he also thought about how to cooperate with the loyal ministers and righteous men of the Great Song Dynasty. In the end, Xiao Yan, a powerful traitor, was shattered.

can deal with reckless people like Xiao Yan. and guarding the border and resisting the Jurchen Tartars to the south. Those are two different things. With the power of the Jurchen Tartars, they entered China to get rid of the ministers. Shi Jingjiao's infamy is not far away, how can this be done?

It's just that he is in the fold family, although his name is respected. But the branches are not close, and although the father is famous, he is just a son. It's been more than ten years since he died. He has been in the center of the courtier. Although he is a son of the Fold family, and has the position of deputy envoy of Hedong to pacify, he returned to Hewai to sit in the town. The power of the folded family army has always been in the hands of this uncle in front of him.

The Jurchen army pressed on the front of the east of the river, but Zhe Keqiu led the main force of the Zhejia army to the west to go west to the Turbidity Wheel River to plunder Zahu. Most of the Lan military horses were transferred to the Baode Army in Weifu Prefecture and other places. It is equivalent to opening all the way to let the Jurchen army go deep into the south!

And the Jurchen army also seized this opportunity, surging south from the direction of the Lan army, all the way to the direction of Lanzhou. Zhe Yanzhi repeatedly flew to turn the fold and begged to return to the army as soon as possible and attack the Jurchen army from the west. Zhe Keqiu came back when he led the Zhe family's military horses back, but he turned a deaf ear to the strict orders of him, the deputy envoy to pacify Hedong, and refused to move a step in Fuzhou!

How can Zhi Yan not understand the mind of Zhi Keqiu. Now the central authority is declining, the Jurchens are rising, and the central ministers are rising. Local military towns, a little more strength is a little more capital to further enrich in the future. The land beyond the river has been an outlier for more than a hundred years, and now there is a further opportunity. How can my uncle, who has always been a bit greedy and domineering, let go?

Letting the Jurchen Tartars come south is to prepare for the trouble, so that they can fight to the death with Xiao Yan. The folded family can take advantage of the situation to take advantage of the fire. With such a chaotic world, how can it be satisfied only with the three states of Fengfu and Lin?

But let the Jurchen Tartars enter, and pity the family for a hundred years, so many ancestors who died in the Great Song Dynasty!

These days, Zheyan has tried all his best methods, just to let Zhe Keqiu send troops to attack the Jurchen Tartar army and horses to the east. With the reputation of the whole family, in order to fulfill the responsibility of guarding the land. But the heart is like an iron stone, but he refuses to move, and finally simply calls the illness and avoids it. There was nothing there could be done.

But all of a sudden, things changed. The Jurchen army marched south and was blocked from Honggu Village to Gugu Village. Then he continued south to Lanzhou, but was defeated again in Loufu. Suddenly, the soldier turned to the west. Originally, it was used to ensure the rear road, and the Jurchen heavy generals stationed within the range of the Lan army, Wanyan Lou Room and Yelu Yu Zhan's headquarters, suddenly divided their troops and attacked westward. Yelu Yu saw that the troops surrounded Langu County, and the headquarters of Wanyan Lou's room went straight west along the Lan River, and the troops were all within the range of the Baode army!

And Zhe Keqiu finally responded to the call of Zhe Yan Qian, and with the support of the pro-Wei Tuan, he went straight into the festival hall and was willing to meet with Zhi Yan Qian.

In the festival hall, the gloomy atmosphere has lasted from the time the two met.

At the beginning, Zhi Yanzhi patiently took the righteousness of the court, and the responsibility of defending the land was relieved for a long time, but he was silent. In the end, Orihiko walked around in a hurry for a while, and finally broke out.

“………… Uncle Seven! Even if it is not for the imperial court, it is not for the Great Song Dynasty. We should also think about our family. Zong Han's army was not allowed to enter Taiyuan Mansion for a while, and tens of thousands of troops wanted to eat and drink, so they could only turn to the west to plunder. If you don't fight again, you will watch them rush into Fengfu Lin Sanzhou? Even if it is for the sake of breaking the family, you must keep the Jurchen Tartars out. If you don't want to fight, then you will gather your own people to see how many children of the folded family there are, and you are willing to protect this country with you! ”

Zhe Keqiu finally rolled his eyes and stood up: "Who said I don't want to fight?" The Jurchen is powerful, and the folded family has this little capital, what should I do if I toss it clean? If there is no Zhijia army, do you think you can still sit in the position of deputy envoy of Hedong pacification? I have worked hard and lonely, all of which are to protect the family in this world and continue to pass it on, you are taking this ancestral inheritance to throw! ”

was scolded by Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yan's face turned blue, and finally he took a deep breath: "Seventh Uncle, are you willing to fight?" ”

Zhe Keqiu snorted: "The Jurchen Tartar is also a failure, and even Xiao Yan'er can't beat a little bird and horse when he has been in the army for less than a few years. Do you still want to brush our beards? This deception has come to the door, and it is really impossible to say that they will not be beaten back. We can't let the fathers and elders of the three states suffer............ I'm going to fight! But this is not a matter of our family, Liu Guangshi of Yan Yanlu must also fight! This will fall on you. We want to join forces with the Yan Yan army, and then fight with the Tartars who are advancing westward! And it's just a matter of beating the Tartar bird back, and you can't make the children of the Ori family kill more............ Since that bird Xiao Yan has all embraced the royal drive, this cleaning up of the Jurchen Tartar was originally his head and tail! ”

It is unceremonious to ask for it, and it is also clear about its position. Without reinforcements, there was no fight, and the fight was fought until Cheng Dù, who turned the Jurchen Tartars to the east. I won't do anything more.

But at this time, can I expect more? Only the nods were answered.

"So-and-so, send someone to contact Uncle Liu Ping, the two armies will meet, and fight with the Jurchen Tartars first!" (To be continued......)
