Volume 3 Mending the Sky Crack Chapter 113 Killing Throat (3)
In the Weizhou Chengjingyuan Road Passage to pacify the envoy's office, the middle of the planters sat upright, coldly glanced at the generals under the hall, and the expression on his face changed, showing that he was in deep hesitation about the current situation.
After the old seed passed away, the small seed kept filial piety, and at the same time wholeheartedly wanted to win the hearts of the Western Army and make the Western Army become a whole again.
The situation in Bianliang is changing, and the small species has always been in Weizhou and has never come out. For several generations who have lived in Kansai for nearly 100 years, growing up among soldiers, and don't know how many children died in battle. Nothing is as important as the Western Army group.
But reuniting the hearts of the Western Army is easy to say, but it makes people feel a little powerless to do.
It turned out that when the old seed was there, although he looked like a sick and crooked old man, he passed on some orders. All the armies will obey. Even the Kansai Zhulu Wenchen will not do anything against the will of the old race. Back then, Tong Guan was so strong, and the old breed could almost compete with him. The important generals of the Western Army who can be co-opted by Tong Guan are only a few such as Wang Yu and Ma Kuo.
Compared with the prestige of his brother, Xiao Species has a lot of distance in this. Once the old species is gone, it is a little bit lax in command. Yao Gu's father and son led Xihe Xuanfeng out of Guanxi and went straight to Bianliang to participate in the battle of the court, which was to bypass the small species.
The Xihe Army passed through Jingyuan and crossed the Yongxing Military Road, thousands of miles along the way. None of the Kansai horses stopped them. Moreover, there are quite a few scattered military horses that have joined the camp of Yao Gu's father and son, with a plan to follow the Yao family father and son to win greater fame and wealth.
If the father and son of the Yao family succeed in Bianliang, they are afraid that the seed family will master the Western Army, and they will come to an end from now on!
At that time, the father and son of the Yao family were teachers. Xiao Chong is really angry and anxious. For a while, he even wanted to send troops to chase the tail of the Xihe army. Intercept it in Kansai. Fortunately, under the persuasion of the staff. To say that the Western Army broke up at home is to ruin the overall situation. Only then did Xiao Chong stay in Weizhou and wait for the news of the Yao family.
Xiao Yan settled Bianliang in one fell swoop and forced the Xihe army to surrender. In fact, in the heart of the small species, he is quite happy to see it, and he is a little grateful to Xiao Yan.
Yao Gu's father and son lost power, and the Western Army broke up and the turmoil passed for a while. But in order to compete for the vacated position on Xihe Road, as well as the remaining soldiers and horses of the Xihe Army, how many things did the generals under the command of Xiao Chong do. Among the small species of filial piety, they also have a headache. The personnel of the Western Army are complicated, and it is difficult to balance all aspects.
Before his housework was cleared up, there was news from the east that the Jurchens had entered the Kou in a big way, and Xiao Yan supported the royal drive to conquer Hedong.
At a time when the authority of the Heavenly Family surnamed Zhao had not been replaced, such a battle of the imperial driving expedition would inevitably summon the King of the Western Army. And how the Western Army has to check out some of the military horses to go to the king of Qin. (However, it is not possible to overestimate the loyalty and diligence of the Western Army, a warlord group that has begun to take shape, to the Zhao family, the first time Bianliang was besieged, the Western Army Qin Wang had not many soldiers and horses, and when he rescued Taiyuan, he refused to contribute because of the lack of rewards.) Let the small species go deep and die in the end. The second time Bianliang was besieged, the division of King Qin of the Western Army can be called a few. As for the famous Zhongxing general Liu Guangshi, he simply rubbed all the way, watching Bianliang being breached, and the Great Song Dynasty suffered the shame of Jingkang - Oscar press)
But now that the court situation is obviously in the hands of Xiao Yan, King Yan, Xiao Chong actually understands it very well in his heart. As a large army group in the barren land of Shaanxi, the Western Army must be supported by the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty in the Kwantung region, and must have a court to rely on. It doesn't matter whose hands this court is in!
Now that Xiao Yan is in power, he is on the march, and the Western Army should support more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to show a little goodwill, which is actually something that can be done.
As soon as the meaning of the small species was revealed, the staff generals under his command objected one after another. When the Western Army returned from the expedition, its vitality was greatly damaged, and the elite of the Xihe Army was lost in Xiao Yan's mouth again. Do you want to give your strength to Xiao Yan in vain? Not a single soldier can do it.
Xiao Yan wants to fight against the Jurchens alone and let him fight. It's best to fight with the Jurchens until both sides are defeated, and at that time, maybe it will be a good time for the Western Army group to soar into the sky!
The generals and staff under his command are all in this heart, and it is the time for Xiao Chong to win the hearts of the people in the army, and he can't be tough. He could only politely refuse the title of Jiedu envoy given to him by Xiao Yan, and went to the court, saying that the Western Army's war against Yan was deeply damaged, and he should try his best to sort out and select soldiers and horses, so that he could select the army as soon as possible to go out with the carββββ in fact, he would not send troops to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Despite this decision, Kozune ordered all armies to prepare for battle and guard the original defense. Don't participate in the war between Xiao Yan and the Jurchens, at least don't cause trouble for Xiao Yan when he fights with foreign enemies!
But who would have expected that the army outside the Zhejia River would actually let go of the defense line of the Qilan army and let the Jurchen Tartars surging deep. The battle situation in Hedong suddenly became extremely dangerous. Fortunately, Xiao Yan went to Zhenyuan in person to stabilize the situation, and even defeated the Jurchen army and horse vanguard in Loufu, and finally saved the crisis.
At that time, when he heard such news, Xiao Chong couldn't wait to rush to the river in person, and begged for this guy! As a general of the Great Song Dynasty, there should always be some bottom line!
Zonghan's department, which entered Taiyuan in the east, suddenly turned to the west. The troops pressed the east bank of the Yellow River, looking like they were going to sweep away the river and break through the river defense to go deep into Yanyan.
Such a military situation was naturally reported by Yan Yanjun. And Liu Guangshi also led the army to prepare to cross the Yellow River to the north, and joined the army and horses of the Fold family, putting on a posture of facing the battle.
The Zhe family also agreed to join forces with Liu Guangshi, and then the two families advanced and retreated together.
Liu Guangshi and Zhe Jiajun's thoughts can be understood at a glance. These two families had no intention of fighting to the death with the Jurchen Western Route Army. I just want to put on a military posture and pressure the Jurchen Western Route Army to turn around and continue to fight with Xiao Yan! It was best for Zong Han to fight with Xiao Yan and lose both, so they took advantage of the situation to stretch their hands into Hedong, maybe they even wanted to go further and regain the imperial driver, and even go straight to Bianliang and become the new person in charge of the court!
The battle situation has changed like this, and Xiao Chong has a different plan. He summoned his henchmen and staff, and proposed to let Liu Guangshi and the Zhejia army not fight, and he selected the main force of the Western Army to go straight to the Yanyan Road as the apse. At the same time, contact Xiao Yan, the two armies act together, and simply gather the Jurchen West Route Army in Hedong and annihilate it!
However, Xiaozhong's mention of yì was opposed by almost all mouths.
Whether it is a staff member or a confidant general. Even the ministers who participated in this deliberation. All think. Just let Nan Laizi and the Jurchen military horses fight! The Western Army is just recuperating. Waiting for the final clean-up!
One henchman after another stepped forward to make a generous presentation and explain their reasons in detail. Everyone's words are full of emotion. It seems that everyone's starting point is for the sake of the Western Army group, and there is no selfishness.
Since the formation of the Western Army, as a group, its status in the Great Song Dynasty has not fallen for decades, relying on strength and strength of soldiers. What is needed now is to maintain this easy-to-manage property of our ancestors!
The Western Army is fundamental, is this really it?
The small species is originally a person with a strong temperament, and he is easily impulsive. Not so sharp and thoughtful. Everybody does what they say. The small species hesitated for a long time, and he couldn't disobey everyone's opinions. Now is the time to win the hearts of the generals of the Western Army, Rao is a small species, and he does not dare to act too arbitrarily.
Maybe what the generals said is really right............ The soul of the Western Army, the foundation of the Western Army, is to rely on the strength of the soldiers............
The eyes of the staff and generals all looked at Xiao Chong with blank eyes.
The little species, who was quite thin and haggard, hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed: "Then according to your will!" Let Liu Guangshi and Zhe Keqiu do their own thing. Oppress the Jurchen Western Route Army to turn back! Liu Guangshi and Zhe Ke begged but if there was anything to ask, try to fulfill their wishes............ However, it is still necessary to prepare a military horse. Aid the Yan Road, lest anything happen! β
He stood up suddenly, and his eyes sharpened: "............ You want to fight for the position of the Xihe Army, and you are as satisfied as possible. You need more time to recuperate and rejuvenate the vitality of the army, and you have also agreed. Now this is the end of the idle days! All the armies made up for the quota and stepped up their drills, and one day, we still have to go out of Guanxi and meet the Jurchen Tartars in this battle! When the time comes, whoever has any intention of delaying, a certain military law is being set up for it! β
The small kind of command was sharp, buzzing and echoing in the festival hall. Both the staff and the generals all stood up and saluted together: "Dare not respect the orders of the minister!" β
The subordinates looked so loyal and respectful, but there was no satisfied look on the little seed's face, but he glanced at them deeply, and strode back with his sleeves back.
In the festival hall, the staff generals looked at each other.
Isn't the current situation the best for the Western Army? What kind of anger do you want to make a fuss?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the Hehejin crossing, a Yellow River ferry slowly parted the waves and came to the east bank.
On the ferry, there were all ironclad guards in brocade clothes standing, all carefully selected Kansai men, and they were all in a class of high-ranking people. With such a majesty, the people on the ship they guarded were needless to say that Liu Guangshi, who was the most pompous in the Western Army.
On the Hehe Jindu, a group of generals had been waiting there for a long time, Yang Keshi was standing at the forefront, and at this moment there was still a light rain in the weather, and the rain was sliding down his pocket, making his face look extremely gloomy. I can't see the joy of crossing the river to the east at all.
The big ship slowly approached the shore, and the sound of drums and trumpets sounded under the boat. More than a dozen sergeants were busy connecting the cable and mooring to the gangplank. Then I saw those brocade-clad and iron-clad guards, lined up with full honor guards and flags, and then extended the queue in a figure-eight shape on both sides.
When these brocade-clothed ironclad guards stood still, how many soldiers and soldiers bowed down and saluted together, roaring like thunder: "Welcome to the general!" β
Although Yang Keshi is a guest general, he is now temporarily under Liu Guangshi's moderation. Although he couldn't get used to Liu Guangshi's style, he could only bend down slightly and salute, but the look on his face was more ugly.
In the shouting, I saw two horse boys with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes coming out first, leading Liu Guangshi's pure black horse, only the hooves of the white Hexi treasure horse. Then eight more personal guards got off the gangplank and spread big red felt strips in the mud. And the dark cloud covered snow river west treasure horse was waiting in front of the felt strip. Without getting wet or muddy, you can get straight onto the mount.
After these arrangements were completed, I saw Liu Guangshi staggering out. He has never put on armor, he is dressed in brocade, and he still holds an iron Ruyi in his hand, which is enough to make the posture of a famous general.
Yang Keshi's face was gloomy, if Liu Guangshi dared to go straight to the mount like this, he would be able to brush his sleeves and leave!
Fortunately, Liu Guangshi still had to give Yang Keshi a favor, and when he saw Yang Keshi standing at the front, he greeted: "Why should General Yang be polite?" Bring your mount and go! What can you ask for? Why don't you come to greet you? β
This greeting made Yang Keshi's face look a little better. A personal guard had already brought his mount over, and after Yang Keshi waited for Liu Guangshi to get on the horse first, he also turned over and went up.
The generals also got up, and in the sound of drums and trumpets, they lined up to escort Liu Guangshi to the location of the Chinese army and set up a big tent for the Chinese army.
Yang Keshi and Liu Guangshi sat side by side, raised their horsewhips and pointed to a camp on the south bank of the Lan River: "The Zhejia army is camped there, and the Jurchen military horse is not far away, and he still needs to personally control the military horse, so he can't come to greet the general." But if there is a military situation to discuss, please ask the general to go to the military camp of the folded family to meet in person. β
Liu Guangshi smiled: "Do you want to take the lead?" How many military horses does the Zhe family have, and how many military horses does a certain Yan army have? Maybe he's a landlord, give him a face, go and meet him! Let's see how the two families join forces and press these unsuccessful Jurchen Tartars back! I can't even keep the key points such as Hehe Jindu, these Jurchen Tartars are really a joke! βγ
As Liu Guangshi swayed his jade wishes, those brocade-clothed ironclad guards also got on the war horses that crossed the river first, surrounded Liu Guangshi and Yang Keshi, splashed all over the ground, and headed towards the camp set up by the Zhe family.
And at this moment, in the north of the river, there is an endless stream of boats to cross the river. And on the east bank of the Yellow River, it is not known how many Yanyan Road troops are waiting to cross the river. In the more than ten miles of distance, there are all sergeants, all carriages and horses, and all the flags in the army! (To be continued......)
