Chapter 48: The Rainstorm (1)

Volume 2 Bianliang Mistake Chapter 48 Heavy Rain (1)

Layers of dark clouds rolled up from the sky, piling up rapidly, forming hideous and strange shapes in people's sight. The wind gradually rose, blowing the land of Youyan, and a piece of wind and grass was blowing. Whimpering across the mountains and rivers of this land.

Driven by the strong winds, dark clouds descended from the sky to the top of the sky until the entire sky was densely covered into a dark world.

Under the strong wind and dark clouds, the dilapidated camps of the Fengtian Advocate Righteous Restoration Liao Army in the miscellaneous places around Yanjing City were full of panic. In addition to the commanders who can entrench themselves in the dock wall, the various units of the Fuliao Army, which are inexhaustible in military resources and lack of tents, are considered to suffer once when they encounter a heavy rain in the field. Everywhere the camp is clanging to reinforce the fences, and the drainage ditches under the camp are digging deeper. Those subordinates of Qu Shuai roared hoarsely in the face of the strong wind, asking his subordinates to work harder, while directing to close the gate of the village and not let others rush in to avoid the rain. One by one, they almost choked out the blood in their lungs despite the wind.

Those who have camps to shelter from the rain are already considered to be the upper class of the Fuliao army. There are still countless marshals from all sides of the Liao army who are attached to the miscellaneous wilderness - they should now be called marshals of all roads. And the displaced people who are struggling to survive. In wartime, they had to fill in the ravines of the dock walls and forts in various places for the sake of moving forward, and in peacetime they relied on the handouts of these camps to survive in the cold. Seeing that a spring rainstorm was about to fall, one by one the children and daughters made their broken shacks as strong as possible, shrunk into a ball, and then the cold rain poured out, and there was no food in the stomach, and I don't know how many nameless corpses will be lifted out in the surrounding fields when the rain stops

In the northwest of Yanjing City, the nearest Song military camp is only fifteen or sixteen miles away, which is where the Marshal Mansion of Fengtian advocated righteousness and restored the Liao army capital camp, which is the place of Yelu Dashiqin Town.

His direct leadership of the army has exceeded four thousand, which is a different atmosphere than the camps of other marshals. The camp is neat, and the military equipment has been improved as much as possible. Camping and fighting fiercely, even if the heavy rain is about to pour, there is no other camp that is in a hurry. Still meticulously sent out cavalry to patrol around, and the soldiers and soldiers on duty on the walled wall still guarded their positions and did not move around. There may even be a military horse that went out to practice, and returned in a whole team, singing the victory song of the Great Liao Army in the past.

In addition to the lack of ordnance and tattered military resources, under the hands of Yelu Dashi, this mixed army of military horses has already been rare to have a lot of the atmosphere of the regular army of Daliao.

Yelu Dashi seems to have improved his injuries that day, and he has been able to put on armor, and at this time he is wearing Xuanjia, standing on top of a watchtower, looking at his own camp, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, and looking at the mountains and rivers of this Youyan Mountain. The flag hanging on the watchtower was crackled by the strong wind, and the horns of the flag kept beating on Yelu Dashi's face, and Yelu Dashi did not get out of the way for a step or two, but stood there majestically and motionless.

This is the strength he has accumulated, this is his belongings for the restoration of the country in the future, I hope that this stalemate will last longer, and I can gain more strength

A personal general strode up the watchtower, bowed to Yelu Dashi and said, "Lin Ya, is it as usual at night today?" Please also ask Lin Ya to issue the whistle order for today's meeting."

Yelu Dashi's body moved, turned around, looked at the general who led all the light cavalry sentries under his command, and did not answer his question first, but asked in a deep voice: "How is the Song army Yanjing City in the middle of the city to pass the horse rush forward?" ”

This is what Yelu Dashi is most concerned about, and this pro-general does not dare to slack off at all times, and he answers like a stream at the moment: "Every one or two days in Yanjing City, a team of horsemen must be sent out, or seven or eight horsemen, or more than ten horsemen, all of whom are heading south to find a ferry to dive into the Gaoliang River." On Lin Ya's orders, we didn't intercept and kill, but just let them go south. Crossing the Sorghum River left them alone............ Until now, not a single team of horsemen rushed to the camp set up by Xiao Yan. ”

Yelu Dashi nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand and said, "It's raining heavily tonight, look at this dark cloud, I don't know when it will rain." As long as the rain does not stop, day and night, the sentinels will be doubled, and the brothers will work harder............ The whistle order is just two words: rainstorm............ Do a good job, and have your future status in the future"

The general shouted the order, turned around and retreated from the watchtower. And Jerod still stood straight on top of the watchtower, and did not move for a long time.

This Fengtian Righteous Restoration Liao Army, if the Song Army is not in other arms. Xiao Yan outside, and the Western Army inside are unwilling to come over to fight seriously, and they will not jump around until now. As long as the Song army is willing to contribute, the Fengtian Righteous Restoration Army, which is known as hundreds of thousands, will definitely not be able to support it for long, which is something that there is no doubt about. But it was precisely because of the connivance of the Song army that he gave Yelu Dashi a chance, so that he went from being a lonely man to a commander with thousands of troops and horses

Yelu Dashi did not use these more than 4,000 men and horses to fight with the Song army in the future, as long as the Song army had a move to fight, he would definitely preserve his strength and go, and now Yelu Dashi is most concerned about what is the sign that the Song army is about to fight

In his opinion, the Chinese and Western armies in Yanjing City are actually not afraid. Because their every move is under surveillance. It is such a large place within a radius of dozens of miles in Yanjing City, and if you want to mobilize military horses to come out, you can see it at a glance. There is time to leave camp. What he is afraid of is still Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan behind him, all of them are fine horses, coming and going like the wind, and he may be able to rush to the front in a blink of an eye. And Xiao Yan prevented the Liao army from coming out, naturally he wanted to blackmail the Great Song Dynasty, as long as he waited for favorable news from Bianliang, he would lead his troops to attack. This news is nothing more than coming from the south, and he not only isolated the Gaoliang River, but also closely watched the movement of Yanjing. In his mind, the envoy from the south, of course, went straight to Yanjing to announce the order, and Yanjing sent a team to find Xiao Yan's order, so that he could start acting, as long as he kept an eye on Yanjing, that is, he kept an eye on the signs of Xiao Yan's movements

Yelu Dashi's judgment was of course accurate, but his long-term experience knew that all kinds of strange things would happen on the battlefield, and no one knew what would happen. These days, his unique battlefield premonition as a famous general and commander feels more and more wrong, and he always feels that the Song army is making a big move, and Xiao Yan's sudden advance seems to be the matter in front of him. But now I can't go, Yanjing is surrounded, and the Fuliao army is coming and going freely in all directions, which is the time when the spirit is high. He suddenly left the camp, how many people he could take away, and he didn't know that those commanders from all walks of life sent their elites over to him for training, counting on him to protect everyone, but not for him to take away everyone's strength

Only by waiting for the Song army to oppress forward, he can be sure that he will take all these military horses away, and he is not willing to hold on for a little longer, as each day passes, the strength in his hands will be thicker. To restore the former glory of Daliao with the strength of one person, every bit of strength is extremely precious

It's really not easy to accurately grasp this opportunity............ It is really difficult to be alone and want to return to the country............

At this moment, even if he is as stoic as Yelu Dashi, he can't help but sigh in his heart. He suddenly thought of Dong Dalang again, and he didn't know what happened when Dong Dalang went to attack Danzhou? I don't know if I can entangle Xiao Yan for a while? Maybe the situation in front of him has changed, just now, at this critical juncture, it is the best news to delay Xiao Yanneng for a moment

In the midst of contemplation, suddenly a drop of rain fell on the helmet of Yelu Dashi, who couldn't help but lean out, making a gentle sound of raindrops breaking. Then more raindrops fell, and in the blink of an eye, the sky and the earth were white. The heavy rain poured down from the beginning, falling on the land of Youyan mountains and rivers, the wind pulled the raindrops and flew diagonally, and the flag on the top of the big stone of Yelu was already soaked, and the flagpole was slapped in the wind.

Under the cold rain, Yelu Dashi, who had thought too deeply, was in good spirits and held the watchtower railing tightly.

Maybe the breakthrough is just around the corner, no, I can almost definitely feel that this breakthrough opportunity is right in front of me to see if I can grasp it

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

The heavy rain also shrouded all the Qiē in Yanjing City in rain and mist. Turn all the qiē in the world into an obscure color.

The rain poured on the tent of the Chinese army tent in a camp in Yanjing City, making a dense sound. It seemed to knock into the hearts of everyone in the tabernacle.

The camp here is located on a white ground after Yanjing City was burned that day, and it is the Chinese army directly led by Yao Gu Qin Fengjun. Most of the defenders of Yanjing were outside, and they built a walled city to defend the periphery of Yanjing. A small half stayed in Yanjing City. Relying on both inside and outside is the orthodox way to defend the city, if the generals and horses are collected into the city and piled on the city wall. That's waiting for death, not fighting.

The three armies of Jingyuan, Qin, Fengxi, and He, all have men and horses directly led by the commanders of various roads, ranging in size and scale. It is equivalent to the most confidant troops of these Taiwei ministers. Qin Fengjun directly led the people and horses to stand as a box, with 2,000 infantry troops, and after the victory in Yanjing, another 500 horse troops were added, which was led by Yao Pingzhong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Yao Gu's pro-army.

At this moment, there were all the generals in Qin Feng's army who were all gathered in the military tent at this time, and everyone looked at Yao Gu who was standing on the top and pacing.

After negotiating with Geng Nanzhong in Yuwenxu, Yao Gu notified the powerful generals of Qin Feng's army inside and outside the city overnight. Basically, he was promoted by himself after mastering Qin Fengjun, and he has no deep relationship with the breeder. Quietly enter the city during the day, and gather in the military tent to discuss matters when it is about to fall at night, and once it is agreed, the night will go out of the city through the city gate controlled by Qin Feng's army. As long as you go out of the city, it will be difficult for the old seed to react, and he will come out, as long as he fights with the Fuliao army, he will destroy several Fuliao military camps, even if the old seed is in person, there is no reason to stop, only to continue fighting. In this way, the plan of Yao Gu and Yuwen Xuzhong, Geng Nanzhong and others is a great success

Yao Gu entered his Chinese army camp early and waited for the generals to gather. Yuwen Xuzhong and Geng Nanzhong did not follow him into the army in person. These two people's goals are too big, if they follow Yao Gu together, I am afraid that they will leak the news. However, the two of them also jointly wrote a recital, and now it is in Yao Gu's hands, and as Yao Gu went out of the city to quell the chaos, this recital was sent to Bianliang City at the same time

The generals had been gathered in the tent for a long time, but Yao Gu had nothing to say, and was already pacing and pondering in the tent, afraid that it would not be a long time.

All the generals looked at this qiē with blank eyes, and when they came, Yao Pingzhong caught them, and they all revealed the rumors to some extent. Most of the people were surprised and delighted. Hold back in Yanjing City, let Xiao Yan go to make meritorious service. Few people understand such an arrangement of the old species, it is just that the prestige of the old species is too heavy, and everyone can only endure their fate. Now that Yao Xianggong wants to do it himself, it seems that this great work is about to be done. Wu Chen's mind is still simpler, with such an easy feat, how can he not be elated? Even if some people are a little dissatisfied with Yao Gu for putting aside the old race and going his own way, and hooking up with the court angels, but Yao Pingzhong and Hu Wei are staring closely, what can everyone do? It's better to go with the pandemic, and it doesn't hurt much anyway.

Inside the tent was quiet, except for the sound of torrential rain and the heavy wheezing of the people in the tent. After waiting for a while, it was Yao Pingzhong who jumped up first and said loudly: "Yao Xianggong, what else are you suffering?" If you have made up your mind, it is better to do it early."

Yao Gu stopped, glanced at his nephew with a pale face, and shouted angrily: "Are there any rules in the military tent?" Military orders are in my hands, when will it be your turn to speak? Stand back"

Yao Pingzhong did not retreat, straightened his neck and replied: "Yao Xianggong still takes into account the kindness and righteousness of the old Xianggong, but this time it is the old Xianggong who sent our Western Army to death and does not make a meritorious achievement, do you wait for the imperial court to come to your senses and then slowly clean up our Western Army?" Most of our Western Army has been completed, that is, the old race has been preserved, which is the best way to repay the old race for their kindness."

He strode to the door of the tent and lifted the curtain: "This heavy rain is the time for us to set off and take advantage of the time to destroy this scattered Fuliao army?" If it drags on any longer, it will be difficult to get rid of the wind and the rain is not light and can be stopped, and if it is delayed for another day, this place will be rotten, and the army will be embarrassed to move, and it will not be possible to advance or retreat. The old minister has the two armies of Jingyuan and Xihe, and we only have Qin Feng, and when the time comes, we will merge and change the generals, and we will just wait for the idle uncle, and it will really be delayed any longer."

Yao Gu listened to Yao Pingzhong's words fixedly, glanced at the generals, and saw that although everyone was a little confused, they were still eager to try. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The old man will not merge with our Qin Fengjun, the Western Army is all his children, what is he going to do?" ”

After saying this, Yao Gu gritted his teeth, and finally patted the military case in front of him: "............ But what you said is not bad, the old breed is the prince, but this decision is wrong, only to harm our Western Army in order to protect the Western Army, in order to protect the old breed of the Minister, only Qin Fengjun himself dispatched the military horse first, rushed in front of that Xiao Yan, and swept away this chaos first, since the decision is made, there is only no hesitation"

As he gritted his teeth, he immediately went to the military tent and shouted the order. The two commanders of the Chinese army of their own country all transferred out of the five hundred light cavalry, and the generals of the guards took advantage of the night to go out of the city gate controlled by Qin Feng's army. rushed to the southern military village of Yanjing that Qin Fengjun was in charge of. The generals rushed out of the city to the villages, dispatched the elite, and gathered in one place before dawn. Thousands of elites drawn out by Qin Feng's army marched in the rain, first destroying the large and small camps of the Liao army in front of them

The rest of the Qin Fengjun army and horses responded one after another, opening up the passage from Yanjing to the Gaoliang River, and then swept to the two wings, sweeping away the main force of the Fuliao army near the left of Yanjing in one fell swoop

As Yao Gu's order was passed down, all the generals who were named bowed down and stood up to receive the order, and Yao Gu stood at the entrance of the tent, his face flushed with excitement. pressed the sword at his waist, and glanced at the generals in the tent again and again. At this moment, no one dared to show the slightest hesitation and retreat

After a while, Yao Gu had already finished the order, as if he could no longer support his body, he sat down on the Hu chair, covered his face with his hands, and was silent. However, this weakness is only a little effort, Yao Gu quickly opened his eyes, glanced at the generals, and said in an extremely low voice: "Brothers, don't blame me for violating the order of the old general............ I am also for the sake of the Western Army, everyone must take the lead, and in one fell swoop destroy the whole army of the Fuliao Army to capture that bird Yelu Dashi disobeyed the order, once the battle is not effective, everyone knows what the end will be"

In Yao Gu's tone, there was a hint of sadness. Everyone listened to it with awe, got up together, and answered loudly: "Obey the orders of the Prime Minister"

Yao Gu also stood up, put his weakness and wavering feelings, and at this moment he kept it all in his heart, and ordered loudly: "Serve the head of Pontus and put on armor"

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

In the heavy rain, the old minister's office was also shrouded in darkness.

Inside the government office, there was no sound, and even the subordinates rarely moved. Only the armoured guards were still in the outer courtyard, frozen in the rain and mist.

Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps treading water outside, but it was a military general in his thirties, wearing a military attache uniform, who was let in by the people guarding the gate outside, and accompanied him into the inner courtyard in the rain. In the blink of an eye, the old man's henchman and flag officer also came out of the inner courtyard, hurriedly caught the military attaché, and went straight into the inner courtyard under the gaze of many ironclad guards.

In the inner courtyard, it was also dark, only the flower hall where the old seed was located, lit by lights, in the rain and fog, projected a dim yellow light.

After all, the old man is an old man, when he was young, he killed people like hemp, but when he was old, he was afraid of the dark, and he didn't turn on the lights every night, no matter how he tossed and turned, he couldn't sleep.

The flag officer didn't wait for the old seed to be passed on first, and took the military attache and strode into the flower hall where the old seed was. The old man was leaning on the couch, doing nothing, just closing his eyes and recuperating. It was raining heavily today, and he was covered with a thick quilt again, and he looked more and more thin and haggard.

The flag officer led the military attache in strode in, and the old man was alarmed, and he glanced sideways, but did not speak. The flag officer was already drenched, and he was trembling slightly when he spoke, and he didn't know whether it was cold or urgent.

"The old Xianggong, Qin Fengjun has moved, Yao Xianggong gathered the generals of Qin Fengjun and discussed matters in the military tent"

The military attache knelt down with a thud, and at the same time reported loudly: "The old Xianggong installed us in the Qin Feng army that day, and I had a commander deputy envoy in the Chinese army under the direct leadership of Yao Xianggong, and I saw with my own eyes that all the generals gathered in the army to discuss matters. The nephew general was watching very closely in the Chinese army, and I heard a little rumor that Qin Fengjun was going to fight alone, and it was easy to get out of the chaos to sweep away the chaotic army, so I rushed here to report to the old minister."

Lao Chong didn't say a word, slowly turned over and sat up, looked at the military attache and said gently, "You did a good job............ Let's go down and rest. The reason for the placement of you that day was also to be able to effectively grasp the military situation, so that the western army could be like an arm, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today............"

The military attache knew that the water was deep inside, and he was brought out by the old species, although he didn't think there was anything wrong with Qin Fengjun going to war, but Yao Gu's violation of orders and acting without authorization was a big deal, and under loyalty, he did everything possible to rush back and forth, and at this moment the responsibility was over, and other things were not something he could mix. He got up after kowtowing, and the flag officer naturally arranged for someone to take him down.

Lao Chong looked at his henchman flag officer again, and ordered softly: "Send someone to inform Zhang Xian, let him lead the team to Yifeng Gate, and inform Xiao Yan that within three days, Yelu Dashi must be broken." The army's morale is in turmoil, and the old man can only help him block these three days. ”

The flag officer agreed, and hesitated: "Couldn't the old minister make up a military order, and simply take advantage of the situation to go out with the whole army and sweep away these chaotic troops?" The old breed is a father, why do you have to give it to Xiao Yan cheaply? ”

The old man smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "You don't understand." ”

The flag officer looked at the old seed and stood up, and suddenly knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "Old breed Xianggong, it is raining so hard, you want to go out, how can your body support it?" Can't you take a step back and follow what Yao Xianggong wants? Sweeping away the rebellious army is also a great achievement."

The old man stood up with a smile and took two steps, patting his loyal flag officer on the shoulder twice: "Qu Wu, have you been with the old man for twenty years?" The Western Army is old............ Without Xiao Yan in front, the Western Army was only afraid that the end would be even worse............ And if something happens in the future, when the Western Army is about to be destroyed, maybe only Xiao Yan can pull the Western Army............ And the old man has been a Song minister all his life, so he has to think about the future of the Great Song Dynasty............ It's ridiculous to talk about it, the old man is already precarious, what do you want to do so far? ”

He said in a faint voice, almost softly: "Prepare pen and ink, I have a letter to bring to Xiao Yan, and then I will go out and send someone to send an order to Zhang Xian, and come back after the arrangement, and serve the old man in armor." ”
