Wang Yu patrolled the construction site, which was east of Bianliang, his future battlefield. A small number of the soldiers on this battlefield were brought back by him from Hedong, and most of them were brought back from the banks of the Yellow River. The least has been following him for ten days. The soldiers and men of Hedong and Hefang broke up and got to know each other. The whole army knew about the fierce battles in Hedong by Wang Yu and others, Taiyuan, Fenzhou, and Longde, which were bloody cities, so that the soldiers in Hedong established confidence in Wang Yu, and this confidence was also transmitted to the Hefang Army.

Therefore, the start of Wang Yu's construction site was the smoothest. At noon, a young general came to Wang Yu to report. Wang Yu felt strange in his heart, he didn't hear that he would transfer people today. The general came to Wang Yu and bowed: "The last general, Shan Tinggui, see the marshal." ”

Wang Yu stretched out his hand to signal him to get up and asked carefully. It turned out that Wang Yu proposed in the morning that he needed an official who was proficient in Kaifeng hydrology, and Zhang Shuye was going to go to the capital water supervisor to invite, but Liu Ju was familiar with the military affairs of the capital, knew that Shan Tinggui was the best at leading water to pour people, was familiar with hydrology and geography, and was also responsible for inspecting the Yellow River every year to prevent water disasters, and was known as "General Shengshui", so he sent him to Wang Yu's tent to listen to it.

Everything went smoothly on Wang Yu's side, and the Shenwu Eastern Army's release did not encounter any trouble, and the order of the Sanya came down, and the Kaifeng Forbidden Army complied with the order, but it was just a slower movement.

Zhe Yanzhi encountered some minor troubles, the basic troops of the Zhejia family he brought from the Linfu army were scattered in Baimadu, although they have been gathered, but it will take a little time to recover morale, and only through the Zhejia army as the backbone, Zhi Yanzhi can master the archers of the Liangjing Xiang army who have nothing to do with him.

Liu Yanqing is in big trouble. Because of his Liu family's troops, the army that was cobbled together by the Huanqing Army and the Luoyan Army, they were severely damaged in the Battle of Youyan, and are currently stationed in Jingbei Road or Chenzhou Mansion to recuperate from their wounds, and are currently under the command of Xin Yongzong, the brother of Xin Qizong. In such a short period of time, the loss of so many men and horses is still an extremely rare thing since the formation of the Western Army. It seems to have become an unwritten law in officialdom that it should be compensated for such a large loss.

But there is no compensation, even their biggest backer Tong Guan has fallen, and Liu Yanqing himself is difficult to protect, so how can he compensate them. On the second day of the Privy Council, Liu Yanqing sent Liu Guangguo and Xin Qizong to Chenzhou and asked him to bring the army back to Bianliang.

Liu Guangguo went to Chenzhou to find Xin Yongzong, and finally found some of the officers, and Liu Guangguo read out the order of the Xuanfu Division of the Liangjing Province. Of course, no one was found in the troops, and there would be no trace of them in the temporary shelter. For more than a year, they have spent nine out of ten times in kilns, goulans, gambling caves, and expos. The officers went headlong into these old caves and lived a good life, and easily refused to get out again. Facing the enemy is an order that Liu Yanqing's subordinates can't consider at all and absolutely can't accept, whether it's your old boss or Xuanfu Division, you can discuss anything else, and then go to fight with the wolf-like Jin people, you can't do it.

This army, coming down from the field of life and death in Baihegou, no longer wants to do its old job. They are going to live in the gentle countryside of Chenzhou Mansion for the rest of their lives, and no one is happy to go to the front line to work for anyone!

"It's just that the salary of our army is short, and the officers and soldiers are destitute, how can they make the trip?"

"That's right!" The rest of the officers also coaxed and shouted: "The salaries of this army are extremely short, and the officers and soldiers are all in debt, where can they get out?" ”

"You can't get out, you can't get out." This may be true, the officers owe a lot of food debts, prostitution debts, compensation debts, and drama debts to restaurants, hotels, Bofang, and Goolan buttocks, but these debts are not due to the shortage of military salaries, on the contrary, because of the special military salaries

"It's just that the army's military rations are insufficient, and the officers and soldiers are yellow and thin, and they have no strength, so where can they have the strength to defend the capital?"

The question of horses, horses, and weapons was raised below. One question was not clearly explained, and the second question came one after another, which made Liu Guangguo overwhelmed.

Liu Guangguo patted his chest and assured:

"You are all old brothers who have followed your father all the year round, whether it is in the west or when you are in Fangla, your father has not treated everyone badly." This is the truth, when Liu Yanqing's subordinates stripped the local women of all the strips of cloth off their bodies as trophies, and then killed the women and hung them on trees, saying that they committed suicide. The corpse hung for more than a hundred miles. "Guarding Bianliang this time, the official family will naturally not be stingy."

Then he said that the Fengchun warehouse in Bianliang was enough to carry weapons and armor for an army of 100,000, as well as 200 bed bed crossbows and 100 seven-pin cannons, all of which were sharp weapons for defeating the enemy. With Liu Yanqing's face, these can be used by the army

All pretexts that could have been raised at the meeting as a pretext against the expedition were dismissed. Liu Guangguo solemnly announced: Within three days, the whole army will be mobilized.

Time passed quietly. The army showed no sign of carrying out the order to go out. The troops that should have been drawn from the city to the outskirts of the city to concentrate remained in the city in a untouched manner, and the troops that should have been driven from other counties to the outskirts of the city to assemble were also not heard from. The soldiers could not find the officers, and the officers still hid in their own houses, singing songs and shouting, and their pride was the same as before. Only a few soldiers could be found in the barracks, and they were not notified of their departure at all.

Liu Guangguo and Xin Qizong will have to "cut off a few donkey heads" in order to get things done. They wanted to bring in a few officers who had raised difficult issues such as military salaries, military rations, and military supplies when they delivered the order that day, spread rumors and confuse the public, and obstructed the division from leaving the division, beheaded them on the spot, and ordered them to leave the army.

The situation deteriorated rapidly, and before the officers could get it, there was a mutineer army with open flames and waving flags and shouting that night. Mutinyers have surrounded the hotel.

"Take those two stupid donkeys out and cut off their two heads to vent their anger!"

At a critical juncture, Liu Guangguo and Xin Qizong played a compliment, and finally sent the mutineers back. This little episode was only a demonstration in nature and did not lead to a real rebellion and bloodshed. But Liu Guangguo and Xin Qizong knew in their hearts that the matter had reached a deadlock, and they couldn't complete the task, so how could they make a difference? What should Liu Yanqing do about his plan to regain military power? Liu Guangguo hit the horse back to Bianliang, he did not go to find his father, but went to Hu Yantong, who already had some friendship with wine and meat.

Huyan is only in his twenties, which is the age of a hero, and he doesn't say hello to his father, so he calls Liu Guangguo alone and leaves: "Let's see my ability." ”

As soon as the morning dawned, an army with strong fighting and clear barriers had appeared in Chenzhou, and all the situations outside the city were controlled by it. This fact alone constitutes a stabilizing force. It stood outside the city like a mountain that flew from somewhere overnight, and suddenly suppressed the chaotic order and arrogance of Liu Guangguo's subordinates. The army arrested the disturbers and beheaded them. As a result, Liu Guangguo's task was no longer difficult, and everything was pushed forward according to the routine.

Three days later, Liu Guangguo and Hu Yantong stood side by side, watching the army leave the city and march towards Bianliang. Liu Guangguo thanked the person beside Hu Yantong: "Thank you Han Du for your help, if it weren't for Han Du supervising the key points inside and outside Chenzhou, these rabbit cubs don't know how long they will make trouble." ”

Liu Yanei was polite. I, Han Tao, came out of Long Jiejun, and my brother asked me for help, and I must give face. "Liu Guangguo's official position is obviously much higher than that of the soldiers and horses, but this Han Tao just called him Yanei, which means very clearly, you Liu Guangguo is just relying on your father's shadow.

Han Tao was originally the commander of Long Jiejun, and later served as the commander of Chenzhou under the recommendation of Hu Yanzhuo. After Liu Yanqing's army conquered Fangla, he rested in Chenzhou, and frequently clashed with Han Tao's local military and Han, Tong Guan favored Liu Yanqing, and the Chenzhou Xiang army retreated from Liu Yanqing's department. Hu Yantong dared to promise Liu Guangguo, and he also relied on Han Tao to definitely help him with this. Chen Zhoujun finally had a chance to take revenge this time.

The Chenzhou Xiang army did not need to go to Bianliang, but went to Yingchang to make peace with the Yingchang Xiang army, and Yingchang will be used as a stronghold to the south of Bianliang to echo each other with Bianliang. Peng Xi, the supervisor of Yingzhou's soldiers and horses, was also born in Long Jiejun. Like Han Tao, they can be regarded as Hu Yanzhuo's disciples. Hu Yantong did not go north with Liu Yanqing, but waited for Han Tao to set off with him in Chenzhou, and conveyed some of Hu Yanzhuo's explanations to him and Peng Xi in person.

When Huyantong finally returned to Bianliang, it was the 28th day of the leap month in the first year of Jingkang. The houses around Bianliang have been demolished, and all the bricks, tiles, wood and stones that can be removed have been removed. Trees that could be used for siege equipment were also cut down.

When Huyantong was about to reach the south bank of the Kaifeng moat, he saw a trench, and from Huyantong's point of view, this trench extended to the north until the north bank of the moat. The "trench area" outside the city of Bianliang has been formed on three sides, especially in the south, the trench is like a chessboard, the earthen barrier is like a chess piece, and it extends from the Bianliang city wall to the south along the Cai River and the Huimin River, which is the defense area of Wang Yu. The river was not yet frozen, and Huyantong waited for a boat to carry him across the river. He saw a group of soldiers, each waving small flags, some practicing jumping up and down by the trench, some holding spears and stabbing upwards in a neat manner according to the order, and some holding broken blades, flashing and moving in the trench.

With great effort, Huyan passed through the area full of ditches and barracks, and saw that the gate of Bianliang was wide open, but there were no more people entering or leaving the city. Hu Yantong reported his name at the city gate, and after a while, the city gate official came to report: "Your family has asked you to go to the city for a while." ”

Home? Hu Yantong came to the city full of doubts, and saw a military attache dressed in Xiu Wulang's costume, who was speaking to a man with a head: "The cement can't be made now, so don't get it yet, hurry up and make more mud balls and bricks for the trebuchet." ”
