Baode Military City, shaped like a lying ox, slightly longer from north to south and slightly shorter from east to west, leaning on the side of the river by leaning on the remaining veins of Luliang.

This is an out-and-out military city shape, the rammed earth city wall is as high as two zhang, and the stone foundation is protected. There is a sheep and horse wall outside, and then the Yellow River water is introduced into the city with a three-zhang moat to protect the city.

Since it is a military city, the shape is not very large, the north and south are only four miles long, and the east and west are only three miles long. The buildings in the city were originally designed for military use.

Such as a martial temple, such as a camp for soldiers, such as the residence of military families, such as an arsenal, such as the residence of a craftsman who rushes to repair ordnance. In the beginning, they were all well organized, each in its own place, and it had a neat and tidy beauty that only an army had.

However, with the passage of peace, the Baode Army, as the main road connecting the heart of Hewai and Hedong, gradually became an ordinary town.

The buildings next to the three roads gradually became denser, and there were many more chaotic houses, and there were even wine shops. And outside the city, there are also many attached dwellings, and even occupy the location of the sheep and horse wall, along the Shagujin ferry to the west gate of the Baode army, and then from the east gate out of Langu County on the road, there are also large car shops on both sides, and there are also private households that specialize in merchant business.

In the previous years of peace, there were as many as 40,000 or 50,000 residents of the Baode army, and this place outside the river can be called populated. It is only seven or eight miles away from the west gate of Shagu Jindu, and it is a prosperous place where more than 10,000 people gather. There are people with shallow eyelids and open mouths, and even call out the name of Little Tokyo outside the river.

This name is naturally not worth shouting in the eyes of those who know. But for the people beyond the river, and even for the miscellaneous tribes in the west and north, it is worth aspiring to. The time of year is very good, and it is convenient for merchants in the middle of the season. There are many cars and horses on the road. All of them passed through the Baode Military City.

And the fur market inside and outside the city of Baode Military City. The medicinal herb market, the mule and horse market, is also very famous in the land beyond the river. Every time there is a large gathering that lasts for more than a month, there are more than 10,000 people inside and outside the Baode Army City for a time. The fold family just extracts the commercial tax of the field, which is a large amount of income.

However, the prosperity of such a peaceful world has almost disappeared at this moment.

It turned out that the road was full of caravans, cars and horses, and it was already scattered with pedestrians. But there are traces. It's just a ranger who goes back and forth to deliver messages to and from the sentry. They were all in a hurry, and their faces were full of dust.

The triangular cyan flame-edged tooth flags on the backs of these rangers only trembled in the strong wind blowing from the Yellow River.

Along both sides of the road, beacons were set up every few miles. These beacons were all hastily built. The flint sat under the tent and watched the patrolling rangers pass by from time to time.

The famous city outside the river is only tense and depressed. And the world-famous Hewai family soldiers, for a while, no longer seem to have the spirit that has been passed down for a hundred years.

There is no other reason, with the eastward march of the Yan army, together with the various changes that followed. It almost wiped out the spirit of the Fold Soldier!

It's not that the Zhe family has never lost a battle, and some of them have lost a very bad battle. Generations of the Fold family. Those who can die peacefully on the sickbed, I don't know if half of them can be in each generation.

But this defeat is very different.

First of all, of course, the losses are extremely heavy.

The land of the three states of the folded family is the foundation of the heart, because it is a semi-private army, even if the Great Song Dynasty is not vigilant, it will naturally not go all out to support it. The land beyond the river is rich, and Cheng Dù is far inferior to the land in the heart of the Central Plains. Even if the Zhe family has always been very simple, the Hu people have made great efforts in returning to Yi or even plundering the grassland. As much as he could, he raised only 20,000 troops. Among them, the most elite part can fight, and it is only about half.

The 6,000 people who led the eastward march were already the elite part of the Zhejia army. After the First World War, less than half of them were brought back. Not to mention that the backbone of the Zhejia army was broken, at least it was fundamentally injured!

The combat strength of the Folded Family Army fell to the bottom in one fell swoop. Even if the remnants of the strength are concentrated and grasped in their hands, in this troubled era, when the Jurchens are galloping across the river and the east of the river, how can they make people feel confident with only this newly defeated army with great vitality?

The second is that this defeat is not a simple defeat on the battlefield. And how many amazing insiders are there!

Now the rumors have spread among the Zhejia army that is gradually gathering on the left side of the Bulgarian army, and the piles and piles are all appalling.

The head of the family could ask for 6,000 Huben and the Yan army to join forces to march eastward, and when the Jurchen army suddenly copied the back road, he resolutely abandoned the 50,000 western army to cross the Lanshui River in the north. and also killed the unwilling to go. At the water's edge, he was chased by the Jurchen light horse. When the brothers were still fighting to the death, they were the first to abandon the army and go first. As a result, less than half of the 6,000 people who broke their families and children were stained with blood, and those who crossed the river to escape.

Hedong pacified the deputy envoy Zhi Yanzhi and led the troops to come, wanting to regain the position of power that he could seek. However, he blatantly imprisoned the deputy envoy of Hedong to pacify the imperial court, collected the military horses, and retreated to the Baode army at once!

Since joining the Baode Army, he has sent his henchmen to lead the army into Fugu to monitor other powerful figures in the Zhi family, even if they are relatives, they will not hesitate. And the Fuzhou garrison was transferred to the Baode Army as much as possible and kept it in his own hands.

Although the Zhe family is from a different race, they have been in the Great Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, and they have always been loyal, never giving up their allies when they are in battle, and they are even more united and boastful. Only then did he gain a firm foothold in the borderland, and the blood and food of cigarettes in the past generations have not been replaced.

But what you can do is to break all the foundations of all your self-reliance! Is this kind of folding family still the familiar folding family?

And in this troubled world, what is the prospect of losing the foundation of his own foundation?

Under the high pressure of the fold, although the number of military horses concentrated in the Baode military city for a time can be called coarse, or even these sons of the fold family are still tame to obey the dispatch arrangement. The generals were sent around, or went to Zhe Keqiu's side to monitor, or left their original old camp, and no one complained.

However, the depression in the Baode military city is like a substance. You don't even need to invite a person to look at it, as long as you have a pair of eyes, you can see. Under the quiet military city, on the surging river in the west, among the tens of millions of children of the broken family, this kind of depression is already everywhere, I don't know when, I don't know what the reason is. It will suddenly burst out!

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

Fold can ask for a sudden awakening from a dream.

Inside the festival. It smells of unpleasant wine. For a while, he frowned a little gray. He wanted to shoot the case and be furious, summon people to come up, and take down those who dared to indulge in alcohol in the army.

But in the blink of an eye, Zhe Keqiu's eyes fell on the crooked wine jug on the wooden map, and on the dishes containing the remnants. Only then did he realize that the person who indulged in alcohol in the White Tiger Festival Hall was exactly what he could ask for.

Although he is a famous general in the northwest, he has always been very self-disciplined. Even if you drink alcohol in your spare time, it's just a dime of the scale. Not to mention pouring this mouthful of yellow soup in the army.

Wine is a good thing for martial artists, soothing muscles and invigorating blood. But if you drink too much, it's a bone-scraping steel knife. In my life, I don't know how many Northwest men I have seen poured on this indulgence. It turned out that a good man who rode an inferior horse and drove a three-stone bow was drunk, and finally he couldn't even hold a knife steadily.

So on this, I never indulge myself. Not only that, but when the army marches and fights, and even camps at the pass, it is strictly forbidden to drink. Some reserves will only be used when healing and wishing victory.

When the Yan army marched eastward, he saw Liu Guangshi holding a banquet in the night army. Folded is sneering.

It is precisely because of this self-discipline that it stands out in this generation. In the end, he became the head of the Zhe family, commanded 20,000 children of the Zhe family, and stationed in the northwest corner of the Great Song Dynasty as a feudal town. And now over forty years old, weathered, strong and strong, sent troops to release horses, stay up for three or five days without sleeping, etc.

But now, he drunk himself in the White Tiger Festival Hall. And this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice.

It can be called for a voice, and finally blocked in the throat. He staggered to his feet, his brocade robe crumpled and stained with a lot of vomit, and he didn't care. Subconsciously walked to the side of the wooden figure, reached out and grabbed the wine jug again.

What do you do without drinking? After returning to the Baode Army, he took control of Fuzhou resolutely, grasped all the troops that could fight in the Zhejia family, and once again grasped the power of the Zhejia family. I can ask for it, but I find that as soon as I close my eyes, it is a nightmare!

The head of Zhi Yanji soaring into the sky, the incredulous gaze of the six thousand children, the torrential rain at the water's edge, the ferocious impact of the Jurchen cavalry, the collapse of thousands of children, countless blood splashes by the river, and the human head floats in the river and then submerges into the turbid current.

and he swam through the Lan water with his horse's neck in his arms, and the cold river hit his face and was cold to the bones.

These feelings can be seen from time to time, and they are always entangled, and they cannot be shaken off.

He wants to bring the Fold family to a status that he has never had............ A little-known son from the south raised more than 10,000 military horses and made great achievements in Pingyan, and then returned to Bianliang in only two or three years to leap to the status of the king of Yan and grasp the power of the court.

He can compare to the son from the south, what is the difference?

This Great Song Dynasty is already weak. The way of the world is about to change. He wants to preserve the strength of the Zhe family and go further in this troubled world, but what is wrong?

The Fold family worked hard for the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and could only live in the barren land outside the river, and for more than 100 years, how many children of the Fold family were killed and injured. I want to get more things for the Fold family............

What's wrong?

Why doesn't everyone understand so-and-so's mind? All the children of the broken family have to fight against someone? At the water's edge, there was no desire to fight.

This is thousands of elites brought out by a certain hand! In the battle array, the general will capture the flag, as long as there is an order, it will not be a whirlwind!

What's wrong with so-and-so?

Fold Keqiu grabbed the flask violently, and with such force that the tin flask was pinched out of his fingerprints. Lift it up, and look at it, and pour it out. But only a few drops fell into his mouth.

This made Zhe Keqiu even more furious, and slapped the flask on the wooden drawing. There was a pop, sawdust splashed, plates and saucers all jumped, and oil splashed.

"Bring the wine!"

The soldiers who were waiting outside the festival hall hurriedly entered, and the two of them held four pots of wine. Recently, I can get drunk every day, and if I can't drink alcohol, I will beat the guards and soldiers, and now everyone has learned to be well-behaved. What kind of duty and diligence is fake, and the wine must be prepared for the master!

The two soldiers entered, but they heard a furious shout: "Throw the wine out!" Fuck me off, too! ”

The roar echoed in the festival hall, and the two monks who were puzzled by the two monks hurriedly retreated. Look at each other outside the festival.

Isn't the Lord drunk and confused?

It's okay to ask for it, and it's not drunk and confused.

He just saw the wooden picture that had been knocked out of the mark and splashed with oil.

This wooden map is still a long time after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and the topographic wooden map of Hewai and Shaanxi sent by the Ministry Division. At that time, the ancestors of the folded family circled around the wooden map as a treasure for a whole night.

Then this wooden map has been handed down, and several generations of military generals have used this wooden map to plan and dispatch, and participated in one war after another.

Tens of thousands of men from the family have been lying in wait for a hundred years, and generations of family generals have either died in battle or are old.

Until now.

It's scary and shocking.

What are you doing? Is it that he will always be drunk into a puddle of mud, and finally bury his family in this troubled world? Let the souls of the ancestors have nothing to rely on, and let the bloodline of the Zhe family be cut off from now on. Do you want your ambitions to be in ashes?

Pull yourself together!

Can't the family afford to lose the battle? In such a turbulent world, such a complicated situation, there is still a chance, there is still a chance!

As long as you firmly grasp the strength in your hands, you can even continue to expand the strength in your hands. There will be a day when you will leap out of the abyss!

No matter who stands in front of you, you can only crush him!

Just when he was secretly grinding his teeth to cheer himself up, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the festival. A general hurried straight into the festival hall and fell to the ground.

"General, there is a military situation from the east. The remnants of the Yan Army have already escaped from the Jurchen net, and under the leadership of Yang Keshi, they are coming straight to the Baode Army! Please also take the main measures! ”

Fold and turn back suddenly.

The original state of depression and decadence has dissipated in a blink of an eye. In the eyes, the essence is shining!

Yang Keshi actually escaped from the net of the Jurchen army! And fled to the Bulgarian army!

What should I do with them? How to take them is good! (To be continued......)
