"Spread the praise of the Marshal's Mansion and invite Xiao Yan to meet you!"

The sound of shouting and shouting orders came out from the depths of Tong Guanxuanshuai's office. Those tall guards of the victorious army, wearing helmets and armor, stood straight, and the sound of paging, loud and thick, shook the hearts of people.

Xiao Yan stood outside the door of the Xuanshuai Mansion and just took a deep breath.

Tong Guan saw it faster than he imagined. It was only three or two hours after they first arrived in Hejian Mansion, and they had settled down for dinner, and they had already come to Xuanshuai's Mansion to meet them, and it was rumored that Ma Kuo took Xiao Yan to meet them!

It is equivalent to saying that Xiao Yan's original plan to have a good experience of the urban scenery of Song Land was in vain.

The Song Dynasty was originally a fabulous and magnificent dynasty in the minds of later generations of small white-collar workers, Xiao Yan came here from a lot of hardships in Liaodi, all the way to life and death, and it was the place where he made up his mind to settle down in the future, how could he not want to take a good look?

As a result, in Xiongzhou, he was locked up for several days just to see the sky above his head. When I set out from Xiongzhou, I only saw that the city was full of soldiers, and the chaos was insignificant. When I entered Hejian Mansion at night, I already felt that this kind of Hebei city was completely different from traveling all the way. The walls are high and thick, and when you enter the city, the streets and alleys are neat, and the houses are full. But under the light of the torches all over the city, I saw a chaotic crowd of soldiers and horses and a large group of exhausted people.

There is no imaginary richness and prosperity.

A limited war between Song and Liao can turn the famous city of Hebei into such a state. If four years later, the Jurchens were swept south by the cold wind of Tunguska, what would be the scene of this Central Plains?

Xiao Yan never thought that he could save the sky with his own strength. Devoted to this war of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State, half of it was to get ahead in this era.

Without status, there is no way to protect yourself in this strange era, and protect the little pitiful things you have now. So I dared to pour out my courage and risk my life to fight for the one I could catch. Anyway, I came through time, so what is there to lose?

If he was lucky, he would have survived this battle and had a foundation to settle down. Maybe in the war that collapsed in the Northern Song Dynasty four years later, he would choose to escape, after all, after the Northern Song Dynasty, there was still the Southern Song Dynasty that enjoyed the country for 153 years!

However, from the beginning of setting foot in this land named after the Song Dynasty, Xiao Yan felt that it seemed that in this era, every qiē in this land had a subtle resonance with his own bloodline.

This is the Great Song!

This is the pinnacle of medieval Chinese civilization in the whole world, the same brilliant existence in the history of the nation, the last China in some people's mouths, and the last Han civilization in some people's minds!

Four and a half years later, the Northern Song Dynasty fell............ The Bianliang, which he had never seen before and had become a legend in history, collapsed with a bang.

If I can change the history of the Yandi War, won't it have a slight impact on the heavy history four and a half years later?

Standing in front of Tong Guan's office, waiting for the summons of this great eunuch who was as famous as Zheng He in history, Xiao Yan's heart turned around with this thought. Guo Rong had already entrusted him with all the affairs of Chang Shengjun. Yue Fei's identity was not enough for Tong Guan to summon them, and he and Ma Kuo stood quietly in front of the steps.

Ma Kuo looked at him sideways, his eyes were shining, and there was a trace of expectation in his eyes. Such a broken situation in front of him may be changed because of Xiao Yan, a character who suddenly appeared!

Xiao Yan was fixed, and he didn't know what he was thinking. It wasn't until the voice had become lingering that he smiled at Ma Kuo: "Brother Ma, please." ”

Ma Kuo looked at him fixedly, and just said in a low voice: "Brother Xiao, the future of brother's status is wrapped in the next body, and I also ask my brother to show his talents, tell the truth of Liaodi one by one, let Lord Xuanshuai, know that it is urgent to respond to Pharmacist Guo, and I just ask for it!" ”

Xiao Yan scratched his head: "Brother Ma, I have already made a promise to people in this matter, and I should work hard to the end............ Let's go in and see Xuan Shuai? ”

Ma Kuo didn't say much, just tightened the strap on his body, took two steps forward, turned sideways, and stretched out his hand to greet the guest. Xiao Yan smiled, just striding forward.

Tong Guan Xuanshuai office corridor twists and turns, both deep and long, along the way I don't know how many courtyards I have passed. At the foot of each doorway, there were tall Shengjie soldiers standing motionless.

Hejian Mansion is a big mansion, with the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, the prefect's government office is naturally magnificent, the courtyard wall is deep, and it seems that it can't be finished. Xiao Yan walked in the meantime, but there was a slight feeling of unreality.

He came across the millennium, but he became a key figure in an important war in history. Looking back, it's really like a big dream.

Further on, what about that? Will this history really be changed by a little white-collar worker like me? And what will happen to yourself in this era? As for the road ahead, he found that he did not have a trace of fear, but only eagerness and anticipation.

This new life is so exciting............

To be a pivotal figure, it feels ............ That's nice.

Before they knew it, they had come to the front of the festival, and there were more Shengjie soldiers lined up at the bottom of the stairs. The staircase is wide and leads to the open door of the upper festival hall. The White Tiger Screen is in the middle of it. Xiao Yan only felt that his legs were sore, Ma Kuo took a step forward, silently led the way, and led Xiao Yan into the section hall in the eyes of the Shengjie sergeant silently watching, bypassing the screen, and saw that in the wide section hall, a handsome case was in front, among which was a huge wooden diagram placed horizontally, several cases and seat cushions were neatly placed in the four corners, and there were incense burners at the four corners.

On top of the handsome case, a black-faced man with muscles as iron was looking at him without moving his eyes, he was wearing a black gauze soft hat and a red head, a brocade robe and a jade belt, and a goldfish bag was simply hung on the jade belt. He just stood there casually, and naturally had the awe-inspiring bearing of commanding an army for many years.

Beside this person, there was a short middle-aged man, also with a black gauze soft hat and a purple head, but he stood respectfully beside this tall black-faced man, watching Xiao Yan and Ma Kuo come in, he raised his head, and his eyes flashed.

Ma Kuo, who was walking in front of Xiao Yan, didn't say anything, but bowed down deeply: "The lower official has returned with Xiao Xuanzan, see Xuanshuai!" ”

He's Tong Guan?

Xiao Yan's first reaction was that he was really extraordinary!

The second reaction was, as recorded in history, when a eunuch could grow a beard, he had such a personality............

muttered in his heart, but his kneeling movements were not slow, and he immediately bowed to the worship, and the feelings that had been brewing long ago surged out: "Yan Di escapes, the sky can't be overturned, and the earth can't tolerate it!" Miserable and lonely, only to return to the south, and assume the name of the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, it is a capital crime, but ask for Xuan Shuai, and Qu Yu Yourong! ”

Xiao Yan secretly pinched himself hard, and the words he said whimpered earnestly, making him feel scared. , in this era, the white wolf with empty gloves for so long, and narrowly escaped several times, this acting skill has improved again!

Tong Guan just listened silently, and after a while, he slapped the handsome case heavily, and almost every sentence was said with grinding teeth: "Yandi escaped? Pretending to be my Great Song Messenger? Do you also say that you have lowered Pharmacist Guo? Okay, you're a daring man! ”

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

Dozens of miles away from Zhuozhou, a place surrounded by mountains and rivers, a series of camps with magnificent weather have been set up. The fence was erected high, and the trench outside the camp was being excavated. Inside the camp, all the busy soldiers are walking around. The officers came and went, just shouting orders to make the non-commissioned officers move faster.

On the riverside, pack horses and mules are being dragged by the soldiers to collect sweat, and the soldiers who draw water and chop wood are also on the way. In some camps, smoke was already rising.

The army in front of him is the main force of the Xi army and the Khitan army led by Xiao Gan, the king of the four armies. After withdrawing from the Xiongzhou line, under Xiao Gan's order, he traveled day and night, just rushing towards Zhuozhou. Far away and even further! But after two days of hard work, when he rolled in the mud to a day's journey from Zhuozhou, Xiao Gan ordered the whole army to take root. and repaired the camp, and summoned all the governors to his tent.

Looking at Xiao Gan's movements, his subordinates had already guessed that he led such a large force to part ways with Yelu Dashi in order to solve Guo Yaoshi.

Since it was the idea of fighting, it was necessary to be quick and kill Zhuozhou in one go, so that Guo Yaoshi could not hide his ears quickly, and he could only defend the city. Zhuozhou City is barren, and Pharmacist Guo doesn't have much equipment, money and food savings, so he has set it up to see if he can support it for a month!

Now that he is camping not far from Zhuozhou, wouldn't he gently hand over the initiative, so that Guo Yaoshi could find out the news and prepare early?

In the big tent of the camp where Xiao Gan was, the Xi army and the Khitan army had already arrived, but Xiao Gan was still nowhere to be seen. In the large tent, the Xi and Khitan people sat down with clear barriers. It's just a whisper, and the topic is the strange behavior of not leaving the king of the four armies.

No one can figure out what he is doing this for.

When he was making a noise, he heard a sudden voice outside the big tent: "The king of the four armies has arrived!" ”

A bunch of officers of the two armies who were sitting on the stools and discussing stood up with a loud noise, and their swords collided with each other with a sonorous sound.

As soon as the door of the big tent was lifted, I saw Xiao Gan walking in with a smile. He was also dressed in a coarse cloth robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves, and his belt was also leather. Just rubbed his hands and laughed: "It's so fast!" I'm just saying that this camp is established, there is still a little effort, and I went hunting, and my luck is good, a few hundred pounds of a boar! I really don't know how it grows............ But let you wait a long time, sin, sin! ”

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

Xiao Gan was so polite, but the officers below did not dare to slack off, and bowed down one after another: "The king of the four armies is so lucky!" The subordinates are waiting here, it is just the right time, and they dare not disturb the hunting interest of the king of the four armies! ”

Xiao Gan smiled, walked through the officers who were full of tents and walked to the top, someone had already sent a cloth towel, he took it and wiped his hands, and motioned for everyone to sit down. There was another sound of clothes and armor rubbing in the big tent, but the officers were all sitting on the stools, just pressing their swords and raising their hands, looking at Xiao Gan, the tall, thin and bitter-looking king of the four armies, to see what he said about the situation in front of him.

Xiao Gan didn't speak for a while, just sat down slowly, glanced deeply at the Xiren Khitan officer in the big tent, and finally sighed: "The state affairs are difficult!" The Jurchens are forced in the north, and the Bird Song people are still coming from the south, wanting to take advantage of the fire to rob! Now in Yanjing City, a group of Han'er southern officials are thinking about activities, Zhuoyi Erzhou, and this Changsheng army is plotting to rebel in the south............"

The officers are silent, state affairs are like this, who can not know? Although he won a great victory against the Song people, the current situation of Daliao is still not necessarily much better. Everyone hurriedly withdrew from the front line in the rain, just to calm the civil strife in their rear, and no one's affection was high.

Xiao Gan sneered lightly, and suddenly raised his voice: "But our family is here!" Regardless of the Xi Khitan, the Dao clan in Nanjing has been breeding for a hundred years, whether it is the Jurchen from the north or the Song people from the south, once they enter Yanjing City, our clan will become slaves! The Xi people and the Khitan are all nations, and they have the same beginning and end as the Great Liao, even if they surrender, the Jurchens and the Song people will be wary of us and clean us up! It's not like those Yandi men, but the south can be north! ”

He had already stood up and walked around in the big tent, his voice was like thunder: "Good man, but he has a breath in his chest, he will fight to the death with his opponent on the battlefield, he wants to overthrow my clan, kill us, and take it himself!" Fight fairly, die and the country will be destroyed............ But there is a shameless villain, but he wants to exchange the clan wealth woman we desperately want to protect for his wealth behind his back! We must be let go so that we don't die! Now that the Jurchen and Song kingdoms are coming, even the servants in the family are going to make trouble? ”

The officers present, whether they are Xi people or Khitans, are all sons and daughters of nobles. Since the withdrawal of troops from Xiongzhou, they have been depressed for a long time, and Xiao Gan's words suddenly aroused the blood in their chests!

Needless to say, the Xi officers were originally Xiao Gan, and they all got up and saluted: "The king took us and set foot in Zhuozhou!" ”

Even the Khitan officers got up one by one and drew their swords: "I want our golden silk children, but I want the Jurchen Song people to exchange their lives!" The Changsheng Army is a bunch of cheap slaves, hungry people into an army, and now they want to turn against the sky? The subordinates are willing to be the forwards, break Zhuozhou, surrender Guo Yaoshi, and kill the chickens and dogs! ”

Xiao Gan just smiled, pressed his hands again and again, and motioned for everyone to sit down: "............ I'm a Khitan Xi people's son, in such a situation, my spirit has not been dissipated at all, I watched it, why didn't I rejoice? But now the whole of Daliao, Jinghua is all gathered here. Attacking Zhuozhou, I wasted my troops for the cheap slaves of the Changsheng Army, but I couldn't bear it............ Besides, Pharmacist Guo has never really pulled up and lowered the flag, and now this face has not been finally torn apart. If you want to clean up Guo Yaoshi, why do you need to attack Zhuozhou? If they hold each other here, wouldn't it give the Jurchen Song Kingdom a chance? ”

The officers suppressed their voices one after another, but looked at Xiao Gan in confusion. Since you are afraid of holding each other, and since you are worried that it will cause protracted civil strife, why do you wave your army to Zhuozhou with such fanfare? Xiao Gan has been hiding behind the limelight of Yelu Dashi, in fact, there are several generals in Daliao, and in the Liaodong War, Xiao Gan led the Xi army and made a lot of contributions, but this time Yelu Dashi was too strong, which made him look overshadowed............ Could it be that King Xiao has not fought for too long, and he has forgotten how to use this army?

Xiao Gan looked at the eyes of the officers below and just smiled: "Listen to the military order!" ”

No matter how big the doubts in his heart were, Xiao Gan's shout made the officers in the tent subconsciously stand up at the same time, and the sword at his waist slammed into a sonorous sound!

"All the guards are in charge, just take the soldiers under their command, slowly approach Zhuozhou, ten miles away from the city, and then you can take down. One should be relegated, and act as usual, but there is a victorious army to visit the horses, not to kill or injure, and drive away............ The victorious army piled up the outposts on the periphery of Zhuozhou, allowed them to disarm their weapons, captured the soldiers, and also drove them back to Zhuozhou............ When the whole army besieged Zhuozhou from the south, I rode into the city alone and reviewed the Changsheng army! I am the head of the Fan Han Mabu, the king of the four armies, Guo Yaoshi should be under my control, can he not see me? As long as we enter Zhuozhou, I can give everyone a chance to win without a fight, and we can't afford to spend time besieging Guo Yaoshi under the city of Zhuozhou! ”

Xiao Gan's tone was plain, and he said that riding into Zhuozhou alone was like no one. The officers below were moved, and just looked at Xiao Gan: "King! Needless to say, the Xi officer is his cronie, and even the Khitan officer is also convinced. The kings of the four armies have been enduring the edge of Yelu Dashi, but now for the life and death of the Liao State, they want to ride into Zhuozhou alone and subdue the victorious army that is preparing to rebel! Regardless of whether his idea is realistic or not, this Xiao Gan's courage is indeed amazing, and he is also loyal to Da Liao!

As soon as Xiao Gan waved his hand to stop them from talking, several Xi Ren henchmen were so anxious that tears were about to come out, and they took a few steps forward, but they were also glared back by him with stern eyes.

………… There's really no time to waste............ It was so easy for him to pull out the elite of the Liao Kingdom's only remaining soldiers and horses from under Yelu Dashi's hands. Time is wasted on either side. One is that, as he said to his soldiers, he can't live protracted under the city of Zhuozhou, so that the Jurchens and the Song people can take advantage of it. The second is that he can't let Yelu Dashi have a stable foothold in Yanjing City and have time to monopolize power!

The Yelu stone was used to clean up those officials in the south of the Han'er............ And he is here to clean up the uncontrollable Jelu Dashi. To do this, he must stand up in front of these Khitan troops! Where does Wei come from? Riding alone in Zhuozhou, at least you can compete with the reputation of Yelu Dashi Baigou's victory! Let the Khitan army believe that he Xiao Gan is also the pillar of the country of this imperial court. In the battle between him and Yelu Dashi, these Khitan armies at least did not help each other, and his own name in the name of the Empress Dowager Xiao in the middle of the court, and the military power of the Xi army, were enough to subdue Yelu Dashi!

As for the future............ The Great Liao is irretrievable, but Wanyan Aguda can rise to Haidong with 2,500 people and sweep the north, and he Xiao Gan sits on the Nanjing Road of the Great Liao Jinghua and commands the four armies, so he has no chance to sweep the world in the name of Emperor Xi?

In these troubled times, it is the opportunity for men to do something!

All kinds of piles, Zhuozhou must go down quickly! It's just a risk, but it's just a life, what's there to be afraid of? (Note)

This kind of troubled times is the favorite of aspiring men............ More than anything else, it's intoxicating. Is the inner response of himself in Zhuozhou City also fascinated by this era, in the midnight atrium, every time he draws his sword and dances?

Looking at Xiao Gan standing awe-inspiring in the tent, a group of Khitan Xi officers couldn't help but bow deeply.

Note: (Don't think that those who are in the upper position dare not take risks, in history, after Guo Yaoshi really rebelled, Xiao Gan dared to ride into Zhuozhou alone and say that Guo Yaoshi would surrender, it is better to have both internal response and external reliance in the book, Guo Yaoshi has not really pulled up the anti-flag.) In these troubled times, all those who can be called heroes and heroes are bold and bold are unimaginable to us now - Oscar press)
