> lead gray clouds piled up on the horizon, and I saw that another heavy snow was about to fall one after another.

In February of the sixth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, the weather was much colder than usual. Over the past few years, it is clear that the winter has become long, coming early and coming late. On the east side of the river, there was no sign of chūn's coming, but one heavy snow after another, enveloping everyone in the bitter cold, unable to struggle.

Looking at the Yanmen city fortress on the mountain from afar, it is in the rolling snow and dust, the danger is overwhelming, looming, the wind is terrible, repeatedly slapping on the city fortress, it makes people have the feeling of shaking yù falling.

A group of men and horses, no more than six or seven horsemen, wearing iron armor, a hood on their heads, and a cloak on their heads. He was standing quietly on a hill. Among the several personal guards, the one who was immediately at the highest place was the deputy capital of the Shenwu Changsheng Army, Yu Hou, who was stationed at the three passes of Yanmen, making Yue Feiyue invincible.

During this time, Yue Fei lost a lot of weight, and the lines on his face became more distinct like a knife and an axe. The chin was dark and swarthy, full of stubby fibrous roots. There was still some green appearance in Yandi, but it had faded cleanly.

The gloomy atmosphere, but not a little less.

Suddenly, one of the guards pointed to the east: "General, here you are." ”

Yue Fei turned his head to the east, and saw that in the snow and dust, there were about ten horsemen in the group, and they were coming. The howling wind whistling through the mountains tore their cloaks high and rolled them high.

After a while, I saw that this group of people was already approaching, and the first person was Zhen Liuchen. The iron armor and hat are tightly wrapped. The generals and guards who followed were all mink hats or Shenwu Changsheng soldiers, and they were the most credible people.

Yue Fei rode down and followed them. Zhen Liuchen immediately saluted: "General Yue." ”

Yue Feishen was indifferent, returned the salute, and didn't say much to greet. The corners of Zhen Liuchen's mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything.

Although Yue Fei sat in the three passes, he ignored Zhen Liuchen's side actions. But how did Zhen Liuchen not know that Yue Fei was extremely reluctant in his heart to lead his troops to gallop across the territory of the Great Song Dynasty?

Being able to endure the hustle and bustle of not sending troops is already regarded as Yue Fei's order to be cautious, and he tried his best to hold his own xìngzi.

In the past, Zhen Liuchen didn't care about Yue Fei's attitude, anyway, he was just Guo Rong's general. I don't want to be rich in the Great Song Dynasty, what does this Yue General think? Even if Yue Fei wanted to make a move, he just had to measure how capable Yue Wuving was.

To rì Yue Fei in Yanmen Pass, Zhen Liuchen is located in Fanzhi. Letters and contacts, Zhen Liuchen didn't bother to do it. Everyone is doing their own thing under Xiao Yan's overall arrangement. If you really want to meet, Yue Fei is so rude, Zhen Liuchen can turn around and leave.

However, today is not as good as before, and now the Jurchen soldiers are going deep into the states of Yunnei! Miss Yingzhou is isolated by the Jurchen military horses, who knows how many rì she can support?

After Zhen Liuchen learned about the military information from the states of Yunnei, his first reaction was to raise troops to the north, and to keep the eldest lady safe no matter whether he died.

But after all, Zhen Liuchen is a general who has experienced countless battles, and he still knows that the military is dangerous and cannot be acted by Meng Lang.

At present, the soldiers and horses under his command have expanded to more than 4,000 regular troops, and the auxiliary army is doubled. It's also a pretty powerful force. However, in terms of quality, the backbone still relied on the two or three hundred people drawn from the Shenwu Changsheng Army, and the seven or eight hundred troops transferred from Danzhou. The rest of the men and horses who were coerced out of the Yunnei Prefectures, although many of them can also be called very strong, such as the remnants of the Liao army recruited in Yingzhou. But after all, the morale has never been completely attached, the equipment is not complete, and the dispatch is not like an arm's finger.

The strength of the Jurchen soldiers and horses, standing at the peak of this era, with such a miscellaneous army and horses, even if they go north, what can they do? Once a battle is held, there is only defeat. Perhaps on the contrary, it strengthened the Jurchen army and made it more difficult to deal with.

Moreover, those soldiers and soldiers who are the backbone of the army, if he Zhen Liuchen goes north alone, he will not listen to him. For such a major event, if Han Shizhong and Yue Fei are not allowed to arrange and plan and pass down the order, Zhen Liuchen will not be able to pull out one person or one horse!

The news of the Jurchen's sudden southward movement came from the north, and even though Zhen Liuchen was anxious and worried about what would happen to Miss Yingzhou, he could only force himself. It's just that one letter after another was sent to Yue Fei, who was closest to him, strongly requesting that he could lead the army north first, even if he couldn't go straight to Yingzhou, at least he could threaten the Jurchen army going south and reduce the pressure on Yingzhou.

Because of this, Yue Fei didn't like him anymore, and Zhen Liuchen didn't say a word, and made up his mind that he must put on a respectful posture for a while.

Yue Fei's gaze crossed Zhen Liuchen and fell on the generals who came with Zhen Liuchen.

Several generals are naturally from the Shenwu Winning Army. Even if he brought it from Danzhou, he had heard of Yue's invincible prestige. One by one, they straightened their waists on horseback, and they all crossed their hands and saluted: "I have seen General Yue." ”

In the Shenwu Winning Army, although Han Shizhong is the commander, Yue Fei is the deputy commander. But all the generals were afraid of Yue Fei, in other words, they were almost respectful and afraid. It did not change at all because Yue Fei was still young.

Whoever is in battle must take the lead, under military discipline, no one is exempt, Yue Fei is simple and hardworking, and he has always been the champion of the whole army. And with Xiao Yan's unconditional support, how can such a master be placed in the army, how can it not make people feel awe-inspiring?

And Han Shizhong's status is more transcendent, sometimes Yue Fei's methods are too rigid, and he can still play the role of the last turnaround. And among the generals from the Western Army, they are more senior and more able to control the scene. It is more suitable to be the head coach than Yue Fei. And the prestige of the five battles of Han Wu is worse than Yue Fei?

And Han Shizhong is the commander-in-chief, and in terms of managing the army and mentioning military discipline, he also let Yue Fei do it, and rarely refuted Yue Fei's opinions.

With the support of Xiao Yan and Han Shizhong, Yue Fei's newborn celebrity spirit was fully revealed. Sharpen the Shenwu Victorious Army to be extremely sharp. Xiao Yan has a strong army to rely on in a few years, and he has a lot of Yue Fei's strength. And Yue Fei is also because of Xiao Yan and them, so he can show his peerless demeanor when he is still young!

Such a heroic boy meets and causes a change, and there may not be one in a hundred years.

Yue Fei glanced at the generals coldly, and the hairs on the generals' bodies felt that all the hairs on their bodies stood up, and then they heard Yue Fei** ask: "Leading thousands of horses, crisscrossing the east border of the river, going down to Fanzhi, shaking the state, shocking Taiyuan, it's very enjoyable?" ”

The generals looked at each other, but they did not dare to answer. Who doesn't know that Yue Fei is full of resentment towards Xiao Xianmo's arrangement, but as an ordinary general, how dare he say a word on such a major matter?

Some people still lamented in their hearts, "General Yue has any resentment and steam it to Xiao Xianmo." Anyway, Xiao Xianmo values you, General Yue, and he just heard it with a smile. We are all small generals who act according to orders, what can we do to make it difficult for us............"

Yue Fei asked coldly: "Raising troops into the territory of the east of the Great Song River, is there any sāo disturbing the people?" Is there a military offense? Is there a jiānyín captivity? ”

The generals are full of cleverness, if anyone really dares to do this, it will be a dead word in Yue Fei's hands!

At that moment, everyone was solemn and bowed in return: "Back to General Yue, we dare to guarantee with the head of the item." Since entering the Song Dynasty, we have slept with one eye open, for fear that we will violate military discipline and disturb the people of the Great Song Dynasty............ Thousands of newly recruited people in the army didn't know that we were originally the official army of the Great Song Dynasty, and there were also military law violations, but after investigation and punishment, all of them were punished by the canon, thinking that the whole army was precautioned! We have done our best here, and we dare not slack off! ”

They said this with confidence, and now the main force of the southward division of the Fuliao army is in Fanzhi, and it can be said that there is no crime in the autumn, and the city is blocked. Whether it is Fanzhi or Sixiang, wherever there is a garrison, the patrol team shuttles back and forth, and the nerves are tense, and there has always been a zero-tolerance policy for committing military laws.

Originally, even if the Fuliao army was good, once the military order restraint was strictly organized, the atmosphere of such a strong army would be a little bit -- but all the strong troops started from strict military orders.

Yue Fei snorted and said coldly: "Naturally, someone will be sent to investigate, and you know it very well." Don't commit it in the hands of this general! ”

All the generals bowed down in unison, and made up their minds to go back and comb the grate again, Yue Wushu had already had another nickname, that is, Yue Yanluo!

Zhen Liuchen waited for Yue Fei to finish beating the generals next to him, and then he spoke: "Lord Yue, the matter of the Jurchens going south in Yunnei ............"

Yue Fei glanced back at Zhen Liuchen and said lightly: "If it weren't for the Jurchens going south to fight the army, how could they come to see General Zhen?" ”

Zhen Liuchen smiled reluctantly, and arched his hand: "Thank you General Yue for being close to the ............ The soldiers and horses under the command of a certain army, the auxiliary army of the main army, in total, are no less than seven or eight thousand. Among them, the army that can fight is enough to choose two thousand. The armament of the war horses is not too scarce. As long as General Yue supports him a little more, it will be enough. Under the command of General Yue, there are also four or five thousand people in the division of Jīng Rui, and there are enough soldiers and horses to garrison, and two thousand troops can also be drawn. Going their separate ways, the strength of the troops is enough, and they should be deterred from going south, as long as they contact Shangyingzhou, the only Jurchen army that goes deep will not make many waves.........,..."

Yue Fei asked coldly: "How many military horses are there in the Jurchen south?" In such weather, you can climb over dangerous places and go deep into the clouds. The strength of the Jurchen military horses can be known regardless of asking. Going their separate ways, each way is only 2,000 numbers, the Jurchen Tartars gather troops in one place, first attack an army, and then attack an army, is this to send our military horses to the mouth of the Jurchen Tartar tiger? ”

Zhen Liuchen was speechless.

What is the specific strength of the Jurchen military horses now, it has not yet come from Wang Gui. In the latest military information, Wang Gui has already rushed to the front line in Shuozhou. But as Yue Fei said, the Jurchen military horse suddenly appeared, such weather, such terrain, daring to go deep alone, the strength of this military horse is already obvious. Divide the troops and advance, it is very likely that the Jurchen Tartars will be defeated.

But what else? Guo Rong is in Yingzhou!

He has to go north to rescue no matter what, but for the generals of the Shenwu Victorious Army, if he leads the army, it is best to wait for the main force of the Shenwu Victorious Army in Taiyuan Mansion to mobilize north. It is the safest reason to gather troops in one place, complete military reserves, and gradually go north with the support of three passes and two rì. Needless to say, the status of the main general is shaken, Xiao remarks the crime, and depreciates it, who is this? And having a strong army for generals is capital, how can you risk losing your own strength?

And even if he goes north, Zhen Liuchen naturally knows that it is best for the Fuliao Army and the Shenwu Changsheng Army to join forces, and the military strength is concentrated, and there are only benefits and few disadvantages. However, the current situation between the Fuliao Army and the Shenwu Changsheng Army was arranged by Xiao Yan. These generals, in what name do they act without authorization to combine the Shenwu Changsheng Army with the Fuliao Army? Who knows what use Xiao Yan will have for recovering the Liao Army? There is no credit for winning the battle, and acting without authorization shakes the position in Xiao Yan's mind, which one of the generals can afford it?

And the news of Bianliang has not yet reached the third pass of Yanmen, who knows how successful or bad Xiao Yan will be in Bianliang. Who knows if Hedong Road needs to raise its own weight. For the Jurchen Tartars to go south and go deep into the clouds and destroy the overall situation, it involved Xiao Yan in Bianliang. This is the very thing that shakes this group!

No matter from which point of view, Yue Fei did not have the reason to lightly raise troops to the north. The states of Yunnei are really separated from the Great Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, so what can they do if they are broken.

It's just his own family, and Han Yue can't nod his head, even the main force of the Liao Army can't lead it north!

Zhen Liuchen turned countless thoughts in his chest, and finally said in a deep voice: "The eldest lady of the Guo family is in Yingzhou, General Yue, you also know the relationship between Xiao Xianmo and Miss Guo ............"

At this time, he could only use the love between Xiao Yan and Guo Rong to suppress Yue Fei. When this sentence was uttered, it naturally offended Yue Fei greatly, and there was no room for turning around. But what else can Zhen Liuchen do?

Yue Fei's face sank, and he really sank. The surrounding guards and generals were all silent.

Yue Fei's eyes were sharp, forcing Zhen Liuchen to look. And Zhen Liuchen also held on, refusing to back down at all.

“………… For a woman, it would have been impossible for Ben to throw lightly with his subordinates. It's Xiao Xianmo here, and I'm just that. General Zhen, you used this to suppress someone Yue, but Yue looked down on you. ”

Yue Fei's cold words were still cold to the weather. Zhen Liuchen swallowed a mouthful of bitter water and shook his head gently: "Let's go, I'll go north alone, don't you want Han Yue and the two generals to nod?" took his life back, and met General Guo and my brother underground, and I was able to explain it............ General Yue, I don't dare to delay your wealth, so I will leave! ”

Yue Fei raised his hand coldly and stopped Zhen Liuchen's movements.

“………… Bring out the Fuliao army, go to the three passes of Yanmen, and ask me to surrender. I gathered the whole army and went north within a few days. Go to the aid of Yingzhou............ At the very least, the Jurchen Tartar forces were divided, so that they did not dare to go all out to force the state. ”

Zhen Liuchen was already about to turn around and leave, but now all his movements suddenly froze, and he looked at Yue Fei in disbelief.

This is Yue Fei taking all the responsibility on himself! The situation of the Fuliao Army arranged by Xiao Yan was also broken by Yue Fei. Once any unforeseen consequences come out, they will all be borne by Yue Fei!

Is this just for Xiao Yan's affection for Guo Rong?

Yue Fei was personally guarded by the generals, and they were all moved, and they all explained in unison: "General Yue, it is better to wait for the order of the Taiyuan Han general, and wait for the news from Bianliang Xiao Xianmo to come before acting!" ”

Yue Fei's face was like iron, and he shook his head and said: "I can't wait, if Yingzhou goes down, the gate will be open, and the Jurchen Tartar army will go deep into the clouds, and there will be no more obstacles." The states of Yunnei are also the old frontiers of the Great Song Dynasty! Keep Yingzhou, and the Jurchen Tartars who go south alone can leave at least half of them. Let the Jurchen Tartars no longer dare to peep into the clouds, and in a few years, how many strong troops can be trained to come out, before they can really fight with the Jurchen Tartars! ”

The generals still persuaded bitterly: "Bianliang Xiao Xianmo's great plan ............"

Yue Fei waved his hand fiercely: "Xiao Xianmo's plan is also to make us better kill the Tartars!" Now that the Tartars are sent to the door, how can they not fight? Do you want to let the Jurchen Tartars be pressed until the third level? If they are allowed to break into the Song Realm, how can they resist if the Jurchen military horses in front of Yandi are dragged south again? Only by hitting it once can you buy these years! Needless to say, just act like this, but if you are guilty, I will bear it alone! ”

At this point, the generals did not dare to speak again.

Only each bows its head.

You can't afford this consequence, Lord Yue............

Zhen Liuchen suddenly turned over and dismounted, and fell down in the snow: "General Yue's great kindness, I thank Miss Guo for it!" I just fought for this life, and I also had to say it for General Yue in front of Xiao Xianmo............ Even Miss Guo will never forget the kindness of General Yue............"

Yue Fei sat up straight on the horseback, and said lightly: "I am acting, not because of Miss Guo." Just for this big song! I also believe that Xiao Xianmo brought us out because he wanted to kill the Tartars for the Great Song Dynasty! Yingzhou must be guaranteed, and I am only for this............ Everything else is underestimated............ Zhen Liuchen, within two rì, will bring the Liao army, please surrender outside Yanmen Pass! ”

With that, he turned around and departed in the snowy dust. The guards around him immediately followed closely. Zhen Liuchen and the generals who came to see Yue Fei stared blankly, unable to say a word for a long time.

Everyone is in a turbulent mood, even Yue Fei himself, how can he be safe in his heart?

He knew that he was pulled out by Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan still had a life-saving grace for him. His actions, without knowing the situation in Bianliang, are very likely to destroy Xiao Yan's layout.

Can't you let the Jurchen Tartars open up the Yingzhou Road, sweep the Yunnei Prefectures, and press directly in front of the East Song River Road............ If you don't break this deep lone army. Yingzhou fell, and the Jurchen army gathered south. Then pull the Jurchen military horses there in Yandi. Then the Great Song Dynasty military, can you still ask?

Xiao Xianmo should be able to understand me,............ Xiao Xianmo has never disappointed me, right?

Yue Fei looked south, and his face was complicated.

Xiao Xianmo, I am a Song general of Song Chen, and I want to serve him, and I am also this Great Song Dynasty!

In Taiyuan Province, the night is deep. The city was disturbed, and it did not abate a little.

After Han Shizhong ordered his troops to gather generals, he didn't know how many generals were busy in Taiyuan Mansion at the moment. Leading the army, gathering people's husbands, and withering equipment. Be ready to stop in just two hours and head north at any time. Everyone wished they had eight hands and eight feet.

I don't know how many horsemen, but at this moment they are heading south and north. Spread the layout of Taiyuan to the north, and the military intelligence from the north to the south.

After learning that Bianliang Xiao Yan had already mastered a considerable situation and his position was stable for a while. Han Shizhong naturally dared to go north with confidence, and he had to go north as much as possible. In case the Jurchen Tartars break through the clouds and break into the east of the river, I don't know how many variables will be born in Xiao Yan's overall situation. It is not wrong to concentrate troops to the north to deal with the situation.

The entire Hedong Road must be mobilized with all its strength to support the main force of the Shenwu Changsheng Army to the north.

Wu Min was also busy for a long time, and cooperated with Han Shizhong to issue one order after another. At this time, he could take a little rest, and his confidant Lu Cunzhong personally carried a lantern and sent Wu Min into the inner courtyard to rest.

Neither of them spoke, but walked silently in the night, and in a short time they reached the gate of the inner courtyard. Lu Cunzhong handed the lantern to Wu Min and said softly: "Pacify ............"

Wu Min waved his hand: "Needless to say, try your best to cooperate with General Han." ”

Lu Cunzhong wanted to say something, but Wu Min ignored him and walked into the inner courtyard by himself. did not enter the concubine who came to Taiyuan to rest, but turned into the inner study, and gently instructed his confidants: "Prepare a refreshing drink, as well as pen and ink, and everyone is not allowed to go near the study." ”

The confidant who had been with Wu Min for a long time, knowing that the minister had confidential letters to write, was busy answering the order, and after sending Wu Min to the study and settling down, he quickly arranged all the matters.

Under the lamplight, Wu Min sat at the desk, spread out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him, and did not move for a long time.

I thought that this time the situation of the dynasty had changed abruptly, and Xiao Yan had already gained a foothold. With his ability to do things, he has been operating for several years, and he should be stable. Relying on Xiao Yan, although he is unwilling, is not a choice.

But now it seems that Xiao Yan is not a solid foundation, and he is about to face a sudden storm!

What can you do?

has failed so many times in the hands of Xiao Yan, even if he sees the opportunity, do he dare to do something?

The golden drum in the east of the river is already ringing. And the dispute over the Great Song Dynasty has started a new round. And its danger and fierceness are a hundred times better than before?

How do you deal with yourself in it?
