Luoyang, Xijing, with eight passes, mountains and rivers in all directions, encircles a basin of 500 miles.

Yao Gu's Xihe army, unable to cross the river from Pujin, could only march by land to Xijing. After a tantrum with the local officials in Xijing, he turned to lead the army to the east, passed through the Shaomu Mountain Pass, and continued to rush towards Bianliang.

Yao Gu didn't have much to retreat from.

He came out of Guanzhong this time, violating the tacit understanding of the old breed that the generals of the Western Army would advance and retreat together, and Yao Gu ignored the old breed, and even hooked up with many local Western Army garrisons along the way. The anger of the little species who is guarding his brother's funeral can already be imagined. If you can't win eastward, and if you want to turn back, Xiaozhong will block the road with Jingyuan and Qin Feng's two armies, and Yao Gu is afraid that he won't even be able to go back to Xihe! (Yao Gu is the Xihe Army, Oscar was written incorrectly, say it again............ ）

And this time he resolutely led the Xihe army to come, just to be rich and rich. Yao Gu still wants to compete for the Yao family's position as the first commander in Kansai. But the breeder is deeply entrenched, and there is no competition in this regard. Therefore, it is necessary to get strong support from the center, seeing this opportunity before, Yao Gu thought that he would win, how could he let it go?

This time, although Cai Jing endorsed it, Cai Jing was the head of the East Mansion after all. The mobilization of soldiers and horses in the world must be issued by the emperor and countersigned by the Xifu. Without such a procedure, such a large army is like rebellion.

So when Yao Gu found that there was no boat in Pujindu, although he knew that things were not good, he could only take the risk. hopes that Cai Jing will stabilize the situation in the center, and he will lead the elite of the Xihe Army to arrive, and between cooperating with each other, he can also break his wrist with Xiao Yan. Even if he tore his face, Xiao Yan couldn't suppress Cai Jing and the Western Army for a while. The strong towns of the counties and counties in the world can naturally see the wind clearly. Rise up in groups. The bite also shattered Xiao Yan's strength.

In the final analysis, as the head of the Yao family who is the second general of the Western Army, Yao Gu still looks down on characters like Xiao Yan. The foundation is too shallow, there are not decades in the Great Song Dynasty, how can the operation of three generations of children support a Jiangmen family? How can it be called a deep-rooted and unshakable force? On that day, it was just that the old man was in a hurry to return to his hometown with the main force of the Western Army, and he didn't leave the Yao family's grandfather to compete with you in Bianliang, otherwise how could you have the opportunity to soar to the sky?

As for the Bird Shenwu Ever-Winning Army, it is just a mixture of the military horses that the Western Army does not want and the embers of Guo Yaoshi. When you meet the real Kansai elite, you will do your best to deal with it. Let's see how long it lasts. Not to mention that the main force of the old Shenwu Changsheng army is still in Hedong, Xiao Yan stirs up the wind and rain in Bianliang, but it is just relying on the new army formed by the natives of Bianliang, even if a little military horse is transferred back, and he also comes up with the means of blocking the river crossing by swiping boats, it may not be able to support this situation where the world is the enemy!

With five points of unshakable confidence, three points of fluke, and two points of helplessness. Yao Gu just led the brigade forward.

But even if the father and son of the Yao family can still grit their teeth and hold on, the Xihe army under their command is really unbearable. The Xihe Department faces the Hehuang Department directly, and does the largest business in the horse market. Coupled with the fur of the medicinal herbs in the Tibetan department, even the middle-level military generals are rich. The Qingtang tribes can barely be called deferential over the years. It is very different from the Western Xia military horses who cheat corpses from time to time. The Xihe Army has not had a major war for many years. In the war of Cutting Yan, the Xihe army was actually inferior to the Huanqing army, which had fought a few ruthless battles.

Although relying on the proximity to the water and the building to get the moon first, the Xihe Army was able to pull out the largest cavalry group among the Kansai armies and support Yao Gu's father and son to do such a thousand-mile attack. But such a long-distance march from the hinterland of Guanxi to Tongguan, and then from Tongguan to Xijing, and Xijing through Songshan to Bianliang, these Xihe athletes really couldn't withstand it.

In fact, even if it is replaced by Xiao Yan's old Shenwu Changsheng army, or even the Jurchen elite, such a long-distance attack can only complain.

From Pujindu to Yuyuan Pass, I don't know how many Kansai people were left behind along the way. Yao Gu had to let these find all kinds of reasons, and killed the men and horses under his command who were unwilling to move forward half a step further and settled on the spot, thinking that they were retreating by the way. At that time, if it is not smooth to arrive in Bianliang, you can still pull back the pearl curtain and pull it back, and it is really okay to entrench in Xijing.

When he passed the pass and got out of the continuous mountains of Songshan Mountain, he could follow Yao Gu's side, but there were more than 2,000 horsemen who were emaciated and out of shape. The war horses under the crotch also lose fat and can be killed while walking. If it weren't for the fact that he had brought out a lot of the mounts that had left the military horses to be replaced, now that Yao Gu had surrendered, everyone should have entered on foot. That can be regarded as being tossed by Xiao Yan.

When you see everywhere, there are plains and open fields, surrounded by people, villages and towns everywhere, and a prosperous scene of the Great Song Empire's land. The Xihe army breathed a sigh of relief.

Out of Songshan, it will take two or three days to reach Bianliang. When the time comes, go into the city and support your husband. Xiao Yan wants to fight, anyway, this road is a straight thief!

On the way, seeing that the morale of these soldiers and soldiers around him was finally a little higher, Yao Gu was busy and cheered up: "I went to Bianliang, but I got something, whether it was the wealth and goods accumulated by Xiao Thief or the reward of the imperial court, Yao Mou didn't take any of it, and all of it was rewarded to the king!" This time it was so hard, after the matter was decided, Yao was the deputy head of the West Mansion. The Metropolitan Gate Forbidden Army wants to rebuild, except for our Xihe athletes, who can handle this matter? When the time comes, the position of the three yamen in charge of the army, and the management of the forbidden army and the army, are not the things in the pockets of the kings? The forbidden army's big industry, accumulated for a hundred years, will come back from the hands of Xiao thieves, and it is not everyone's? ”

After such a devastating journey along the way, Yao Gu's tone finally came down. Originally, his ambition was to sit in the center by himself, and his children would lead the Xihe Army, and he would not have to rebuild the Huanqing Army, and he was also led by the children of the Yao family. In this way, there is its own town, and Kansai is also based on half of the country, and it is impossible to say that the breeder will be annexed in the future. The world's strong army is in hand, and Nei is in charge of Xifu, I am afraid that his Yao Gu's powerful position will surpass Xiao Yan!

He, Yao, is naturally loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, but since the Great Song Dynasty has set a precedent of sealing the one-word county king, Yao is not unavoidable............

But this attack did not go well, and Xiao Chong is probably gritting his teeth behind his back. Yao Gu's tone has become the capital gate of Changzhen from now on, and it is just a matter of Kansai to keep the Xihe army. His own son is willing to run thousands of miles back and forth between the Xihe Dumen, so he will follow him. I don't know why his son Yao Pingzhong is happier the more he runs on the road. Everyone else is tired. His strange disposition of running thousands of miles without being the same thing?

Such agitation. It's what the Xihe generals like to hear. His own children chose a few to stay in Xihe to stay in the family business, and the rest of them joined the Bianliang Forbidden Army and became noble officials in this prosperous place in the world. Isn't it a good thing to be the first in the world to spread out and take advantage of the benefits?

The Xihe generals who were surrounding Yao Gu immediately expressed their loyalty. I didn't take Xiao Yan seriously in his words. Ever since they came out of the pass and saw that the land of was safe as usual, these generals were also relieved. I feel that this trip will be smooth again.

Just when the march of the military horses was a little faster, Yao Pingzhong suddenly hurried back from the front.

Yao Gu, his beloved son, is a character who loves to run long distances. When the Xihe army was exhausted, one step at a time. After Yao Pingzhong ran forward, Shicai ordered a few more unlucky sergeants to the front outpost.

At this time, when several generals were about to greet General Xiao Yao, they saw Yao Pingzhong's face turned pale, and he said to his father: "The front is not right!" ”

Yao Gu was startled and beckoned the troops to stop. Lift your eyes up and look ahead.

In the spring of, the weather is clear, the sun is shining and the wind is clear, and only the dust and sand are faintly rolled up in the east. I don't know what the situation is.

Yao Gu just stopped and watched, and his team of more than 2,000 soldiers of the Xihe Army was also long. I'm afraid that there will be more than ten or twenty miles to go out, and I will stop in front of me, and I am still slowly rushing over in the back. Gradually, more and more gathered.

Yao Gu suddenly galloped his horse and went straight to the top of a slightly higher hill on the side of the road. A group of generals also followed. In the blink of an eye, dozens of Xihe generals surrounded Yao Gu's upper hills, looking eastward, their faces pale.

To the east, there is a large cavalry army, branching out and rolling towards here!

The land of Bianliang has open plains, and there is no north-south waterway passing by, so it can be called a land of flat rivers. As the most prosperous place in the world, the road is also accessible in all directions, and it can be traveled everywhere. Even if it is convenient for the world's assets to be transferred to Bianliang, it is indeed a place of four wars, and it is extremely difficult to defend. Therefore, the Song Dynasty planned to move the capital countless times, but always gave up because there were too many implications.

Needless to say, this nonsense doesn't need to mention him, at this moment in this plain land, among the countless roads, there are countless cavalry troops, rolling all kinds of banners, rolling in the direction of Yao Gu! A small group of horsemen on the front road was rushing back, just to report back the exact location of Yao Gujun they had seen.

In addition to these war-controlled military horses with a complete system and various command banners. Suddenly ahead, there are countless light horses!

The light horsemen were scattered in formation, and the horses were dressed in different colors, the only thing they had in common was that they seemed to be glued to the back of their horses. With only short soldiers and longbows, no matter where the enemy goes, these scattered light cavalry can chase up, stick to it, harass it with bows and arrows, and wait for the heavy cavalry to catch up and sweep!

Yao Gu and the generals around him were all dumbfounded. Looking at the smoke and dust raised by the rush of ten thousand horses, like a huge wall between heaven and earth, slowly pressed towards his own military horse.

Yao Gu could confirm at this moment that this was Xiao Yan's military horse! How did he manage such a large cavalry group?

And why did this cavalry group suddenly appear in Bianliang, and why did it sweep towards itself again?

Countless thoughts surged in Yao Gu's chest. remembered that Xiao Yan tried his best to collect the local scattered Han army during the war in Yandi, remembered that Xiao Yan stayed in Danzhou for a long time before rushing to Yanjing, and remembered that Xiao Yan did not kill much in Yandi and tried his best to appease the scattered people to settle in Danzhou. At that time, the Western Army was up and down, who didn't laugh at Xiao Yan's troubles? He is a person who has returned to the south, will the court still let him go in Yandi? Don't go to Bianliang alone!

I thought of Xiao Yan's light exit of the Chinese army, the ships that suddenly disappeared in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and the actions that Xiao Yan had always had.

At this moment, Yao Gu suddenly understood.

After understanding, it is a deep fear. How dare they start the layout a few years ago, and act decisively and fiercely as the enemy?

Xiao Yan must use the Yellow River boats to transfer these armies back and forth, and respond to Yandi's soldiers and horses going south, and the Yongning army is naturally powerless. Then after pacifying Bianliang, he turned his head to solve the Xihe Army!

Fighting fast and fighting for thousands of miles is exactly the characteristic of Xiao Yan in the battle of Yan!

Xiao Yan............ No, King Yan must be among these ten thousand horses!

Yao Pingzhong muttered, "Daddy, what should I do? ”

Yao Gu looked back and saw that the road was still sparsely lined up, and it was already more than 2,000 exhausted military horses. Sighed wastefully: "Turn around and run!" If you're lucky, you can escape to Xijing. Shut yourself out! ”

Yao Pingzhong still asked himself: "What about bad luck?" ”

Yao Gu snorted. Hate said: "If you are unlucky, you will be chased." If King Yan wants the lives of our fathers and sons, he will just fight to the death. If King Yan promised to live, we would have to surrender! The main force of the Western Army is still there, the world is not attached, King Yan is in Hedong and resists the Jurchens, he is the character of fighting with Hu Lu to the end, our father and son's head, King Yan can't cut it lightly. It's just a matter of taking over the position! ”

After saying this, Yao Gu had already turned his horse and went down the mountain. Regardless of the hard work, he arrived near the left side of Bianliang, and he couldn't wait to take three steps and make two steps to turn around.

Even though he still has a lot of hope for his life after falling into Xiao Yan's hands, he has no power at all. The Xihe elite brought out, except for the one on the tail, the rest had to become something in Xiao Yan's bag. The rest of Xihe's foundation can't be held in front of Xiao Chong. If you can escape, it's better to escape! I can't go back and cry and beg for shelter at the small species, and then run for the saddle and horse for the breeder!

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

Liyangjin side, Yongning military camp.

Since Xiao Yanyan's army and horses went south to grab Liyangjin in advance. The Yongning Army has completely lost its ground. Xiao Yanxin trained so many Chinese troops and Yandi military horses, and the transfer back to Bianliang was at most seventy percent. Fleet loading capacity is also limited. There were nearly 10,000 troops and horses left, and they were watching the Yongning Army, which was also torn apart.

And Wang Yu and Ma Kuoyu Wenxuzhong were also calm, or they broke the jar. Gather the Yongning soldiers and horses on the spot and set up camp near Liyangjin. But if there is a need for provisions, he honestly and unceremoniously asks for it from the nearby Yanwang garrison. King Yan's military horse is still serious.

Bianliang became chaotic, and in the minds of the three of them, it was already Xiao Yan's inevitable victory. The only thing I am worried about is whether Xiao Yan will act too violently and completely tear this Great Song Dynasty world apart!

The three of them seemed to be waiting for something for a few days.

Then, as the three of them expected, a boat floated from upstream. The boat carried a messenger from the heavenly family, and the edict was sent to the king to expand into Beijing. Yuwen Xuzhong is not a person on the surface, so naturally he will not be on the edict.

Without saying a word, Wang Yu Ma Kuo boarded the boat with the angel and left. Yuwen also smiled and followed. The three of them abandoned the Yongning Army and left like this. And the Yongning army also seemed to know that there was such a day, but they just sent it by default.

The Yellow River is surging, and the night is like paint. It was late at night, and the three of them were still standing in the bow of the boat for a long time.

Wang Yu suddenly spoke: "Shutong, Zichong, what do you think?" ”

Ma Kuo said softly: "If King Yan opens a killing ring, he will have the intention of plotting to usurp the dynasty at this moment, and he will not let him go if he is a ghost." ”

Yuwen chuckled lightly: "If King Yan still focuses on the overall situation, he will lift it high and put it down gently." It's just to gain some time to concentrate the strength of his subordinates and fight a decisive battle with the Jurchens who are already in the clouds, and even more so to resist the Zongwang Division, which is likely to follow south. What about then? ”

Ma Kuo was silent, and only after a long time did he say with difficulty: "Fight the Jurchens first!" ”

Wang Yu still refused to let go of Yuwen Xuzhong, and asked, "Shutong, what do you think?" ”

Yuwen pondered for a while, and finally said: "If there is no Jurchen enemy, then King Yan will make two rebellions in Bianliang." No matter how much you get the benefits, you will end up destroying yourself. Cao Wei usurped the Han Dynasty, Sima Dynasty Cao, the two Jin Dynasty Southern Dynasties, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Liang Dynasty, the Chen Xiang Chan Dynasty, and the Sui Wen Dynasty and the Yuwen Dynasty in the North. Isn't it in the old dynasty that there is a huge foundation! Even if King Yan relied on the strength of his troops to subdue the center for a while, the foundation was not solid but it was a terminal disease, and the more he killed, the more he rebounded!

However, on the other day, when the Jurchens went south and the sky collapsed, if King Yan could fight thousands of miles away and break through the Jurchen Guard, although the foundation was not solid, the merits would be more than enough, and then King Yan would have a deep-rooted and unshakable momentum! With Xiao Dai Zhao, I don't know! ”

These words can only be seen and said by a resourceful person like Yuwen Xuzhong. For Wang Yu and Ma Kuo, who have experienced hardships together for a short time, they can already be regarded as reassuring.

Wang Yu muttered, "Is King Yan betting on this?" There are strong Jurchen enemies outside, and there are always people who only hope that King Yan will fail. Will King Yan win this war? ”

Yu Wenxu pointed to the sky above his head with his middle finger: "Only by going to heaven can we investigate." It's just my ups and downs. If Jurchen wins, she will be martyred. If King Yan wins, he is just a remnant of the previous dynasty. If you talk about the student's plan, that's it. ”

The three of them fell silent again, the devastated Great Song Dynasty, the rising strongman, the internal strife that was always surging undercurrent, and there were Jurchen strong enemies stronger than the Liao people on the side.

What will the world be like in this world?

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

Dozens of miles outside Yuyuan Pass, Xiao Yan had already set up a temporary camp.

Only then did the Bianliang Rebellion be determined, and it attacked Yao Gu like lightning. The mat is not warm, and it is hard to prepare. Finally, they caught up with Yao Gu's brigade outside the Yuyuan Pass and surrounded it.

And Xiao Yan hastily set up camp, just waiting for the news to come.

The so-called camp is nothing more than hundreds of Yan King Zhijia soldiers guarding Xiao Yan and lighting a few bonfires. Not even a tabernacle was set. And Xiao Yan was on the side of the bonfire, sitting on a big rock and waiting quietly.

In the night ahead, there was a faint cheer, and then people and horses came. Yan Wang Zhijia stepped forward to catch it. I saw a large group of armor soldiers escorting how many Xihe army generals came, and Yao Gu and Yao Pingzhong were also in the middle.

After surrounding Yao Gu's military horses, all the soldiers and soldiers followed Xiao Yan's orders, and just shouted: "Surrender is the father and son of the Yao family, and the death penalty will be spared!" ”

After shouting back and forth two or three times, the soldiers of the Xihe Army, who were already so tired that they were foaming at the mouth, surrendered, including the father and son of the Yao family.

For example, the generals of the Xihe Army can be sent down for resettlement, and the father and son of the Yao family must see Xiao Yan in the future. King Yan took the Yao family's father and son and sent them directly to Xiao Yan. The armor soldier drank in a low voice and asked the father and son of the Yao family to meet him, Yao Gu and Yao Pingzhong finally supported a little general's bearing, Yao Gu took a step forward: "King Yan, we finally met." I don't want to kill our father and son, so I just find a rich place to organize and manage us. You've won the game! ”

After Yao Gu finished speaking, Xiao Yan just didn't say anything. Yao Gu was a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to attack. When I looked at it again, I saw Xiao Yan sitting on the boulder, already asleep.

Xiao Yan was wearing the armor of an ordinary general, his outer cloak was already old and dirty, and his face was full of black and gray sweat like other sergeants. At this time, he sat on the boulder, holding the saber in both hands, and his chin was clubbed on the hilt of the sword, making a slight snoring sound.

Xiao Yan didn't wear a helmet, and Yao Gu saw that this young man who was only twenty-five or sixteen years old when Yan Yun first met him, and his sideburns and hair were already pure snow white at this time. A few white hairs scattered and scattered, driven by the bonfire heat.

Tremble slightly. (To be continued......)

PS: Tough second update!
