He used to eat with his soldiers. If there is something good at the top, it will be very good at the bottom, and generals such as Lin Chong and Gao Chong are often like this. It's just that because Zhang Kejian, Zhe Yanping, Huyan Wukang and others were present, he used a consultative tone. Zhang Kejian naturally had no objections.

After Yan Muhan undressed and pushed food, Hu Yangeng shared weal and woe with the soldiers.

Since he climbed the tower, Hu Yangeng has been high-spirited, talking and laughing freely, and seems to be full of confidence. But in the face of a fierce opponent like Wanyan Stickyhan, who dares to take it lightly? He was worried. So, the appetite is not good. But as the head of an army, he can't show it at this moment. Not only could he not show it, but he had to pretend to be hungry, and ate three bowls in a row, until his stomach was full and tumbling upwards, and then he gave up.

He put down the dishes and chopsticks, stroked his abdomen, and said, "Full? Full! "A few full burps.

should have been on duty at night, but Hu Yangeng saw that he was too tired, so he changed to Zheyanping's top shift, and carefully arranged and told him about various defensive matters. It wasn't until late at night that he turned back to the house.

Early the next morning, Zhang Kejian asked to see him, Hu Yangeng got dressed, hurriedly washed, pushed the door out, and went straight to the lobby of the mansion.

Zhang Kejian brought a piece of news.

Seeing Hu Yangeng coming into the hall, he, who had always been chic and free, looked anxious, got up suddenly, didn't have time to salute, took a few steps forward, and said urgently: "The student went to the Yamen this morning, and met an envoy from outside the city on the way, and came from Fenzhou before entering the city. But there was an urgent report, and I had to come to tell the commander quickly. ”

Hu Yangeng heard "coming from Fenzhou", his heart jumped, stabilized his mind, was not in a hurry or impatient, stepped into the main seat, sat down slowly, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

In addition to Zhang Kejian, there were also Huyan Wukang and Zhe Yanping, all of whom stood up and stood down. Arranged on the left and right sides behind Zhang Kejian. Zhang Kejian said: "A few days ago, Wanyan Sticky Han sent his second son, Wanyan Xianbao, to lead a partial division to capture Fenzhou. Xuanzan has already led his troops north. ”

Hu Yangeng pressed the armrest of the seat and almost jumped up! His complexion changed suddenly, his eyes turned to the left and right, and in the blink of an eye, he had clearly seen the expressions of Huyan Wukang and Zheyanping. Huyan Wukang's forehead was sweating, and Zhi Yanping looked in a hurry. Hu Yangeng laughed and said, "Finish the face sticky Han technique to stop here!" ”

Including Zhang Kejian, everyone was stunned. Zhang Kejian asked: "If Fenzhou falls, then I will cut off the connection between Pingyang and Daizhou!" Reinforcements are not coming, but why did Xuan Shuai say this? ”

Hu Yangeng covered his hands with his sleeves, clutched the sides of the chair tightly, his brain was spinning, he smiled, and said: "I thought that Wanyan was a hero in the world. Now it seems that he is overestimating. Wanyan sticky Han, Wanyan Yinshu can be combined with troops, claiming to have 300,000 military horses. I would like to ask you, do you think they will have a great deal of men? ”

Huyan Wukang, Ji Zongzhou and others have different opinions, some say 100,000, some say 150,000. Zhang Kejian also said: "150,000 may not have, 100,000 will always have." ”

Hu Yangeng shook his head and said, "No." Once 10,000 troops consume food a day, 100,000 troops consume 1,000 stone of grain a day, and 100,000 stones of food in 100 days. With the barren land in the clouds east of the river and west of the river, he can not raise 100,000 soldiers. ”

Zhang Kejian is the envoy of the economic system, and the account is still calculated: "It can be sticky, there can be two silverworks, half of them are signed by the army, and there is no need to eat." ”

"Ah, for Sticky Han, the signing army is just a slave, and he doesn't give him enough food, how can the signing army give Sticky Han his life? Therefore, Wanyan is sticky, and Wanyan Yinshu can be added up to two chiefs, and it is great to have an army of fifty or sixty thousand to fight.

"With 60,000 people, the land east of the river swallowed by whales, it seems that it is not a small number. However, now, Daizhou is guarded by the horse defense envoy and is impregnable. He went deep alone, and had to leave his army and horses to besiege our army in Daizhou. Out of 60,000 people, at least 20,000 were removed.

"Yes, he still has 40,000 men. If all of them are used to attack our Pingyang, he will indeed still have the advantage in the number of military horses. However, he divided his army to attack Fenzhou. It seems to have cut off the way for my reinforcements, but in fact ignored the direction of the main attack! It is not divided into primary and secondary. In vain give our army a chance, and break through each one! Hu Yan Geng said this casually, and finally concluded, "That's why I said, Wanyan sticks to the Han technique!" ”

"What does Xuan Shuai mean?"

"If he does not divide his army to take Fenzhou, Pingyang may have a hard battle. If he divides his army, my victory is in sight! ”

"Dare to ask Xuan Shuai, will Ji An come out?"

Hu Yangeng didn't say it first. Because he doesn't know. Although it has long been decided with Zhiyue Lan, Zhiyue Lan will hold the Xuanfu envoy seal and organize the reinforcements on the periphery. But this countermeasure has not been announced to the population. And handing over the reinforcement plan to a woman was appalling in the Song Dynasty.

"And wait and see what happens, see the flaws, come out with the whole army, and surprise him."

Zhang Kejian lost his mind for a short time, he didn't expect the legendary famous young general to speak so frivolously. Fortunately, during the Jingkang period, he cooperated with Puliu Ru Bosheng under Hu Yan Geng in Fenzhou, and he had some inexplicable confidence in Hu Yan Geng.

Zhang Kejian calmed down and added: "Xuan Shuai is confident, and I will listen to the dispatch later." ”

Hu Yangeng simply assigned the task of patrolling the city, and retreated from the lobby. He sat in the room and thought: Listening to the report, Xuanzan is to abandon Fenzhou in an orderly manner and go to Wutai to join Ma Kuo, then Zheyuelan will be safe. I don't know how she is now, whether she has started to transfer troops.

Zhe Yuelan took Lu Mei, both of them dressed as men, rode their horses and galloped, and went straight to the river. She only brought a team of more than ten personal soldiers, but she was flexible and capable, and easily avoided the patrol of the golden soldiers.

Zheyuelan crossed the Hutuo River, which is the boundary of Hebei East Road, and she stepped on the east bank and suddenly felt her eyes light up.

At this time, it is already early spring in February, and the small trees along the river bank have already sprouted leaves, and along the official road, the fields on both sides are neatly lined up, and the farmers are working in the fields.

"The Hutuo River is just the border of the temporary truce and rest of the two armies, and the golden thieves may cross the river at any time to fight the grass valley and open up farmland so close to the river bank...... Husband, he also has some ability. ”

Zhi Yuelan secretly praised in her heart, and inadvertently someone was already approaching her horse, and her own soldiers stepped forward to stop the comer.

Without waiting for the soldiers to ask, the person who came had already asked: "I am Hebei Baojia, who is coming?" ”

Zheyuelan drank the soldiers and took a closer look at the person who claimed to be a protector. He wore a placket and a sleeveless shoulder, and asked another leader of the army to answer: "Hedong Zhejia Military Headquarters, go to Hejian to deliver a letter." ”

"A court messenger?" This Baojia was not in a hurry, "And come to the inn with me to rest, and with my official mansion, I will send it to the river and ask someone to pick up and drop off Tishi." ”

"Naturally, there is a text, but I am in a hurry to send the news to the river, I don't know if I can let me wait overnight after checking the text."

"And a priori the text, when you are small, you can tell the Yi Shou, and the Yi Shou will decide."

After some interrogation, Yi Shou was convinced that Zheyuelan and the others were indeed Song troops from Hedong, so he asked them to rest early, and on the fifth watch of the next day, he sent a guide to take Zheyuelan straight to the river.

At the city gate, the guide and the city gate guards had another exchange of answers, and when they entered the city, the guide explained to the leader of the soldiers: "If a stranger comes, and the city gate is slightly careless, the patrol will come to arrest him, and then there will be some trouble." ”

The leader of the pro-soldiers replied politely: "Beware of spies, as it should be." ”

Zhi Yuelan watched coldly from the sidelines, thinking: "The main force that Lang Jun told me, the patrol army, and the three-level military system of armor guards, have already taken shape in Hedong. ”

Just thinking about it, Zhi Yuelan and his entourage had been taken to the Yamen of the transfer envoy on Hebei East Road, and she generously revealed her identity, asked her soldiers to untie their weapons, and waited for Zhang Yantang.

In the lobby, Zhang Yanju asked Zhi Yuelan to sit down, and Zhi Yuelan did not take out the Xuanfu envoy seal, but concisely explained the situation in Hedong and let Zhang Yancheng decide.

Zheyuelan had been to Hejian before, and also served as the chief of the Luan Pavilion, and she was also an old acquaintance with Qiu Muling Zhonglian and others. But she deliberately did not go to Qiu Muling Zhonglian, but to find the Transshipment Division, just to verify what Hu Yangeng said that Hebei has its own system, even if Hu Yangeng is not there, it can operate on its own.

Zhang Yancheng said: "Military affairs are not in charge of the official, three ...... Girl...... When consulting with Zhang Xian, all the generals were summoned. ”

I see. Zhi Yuelan went to see Zhang Xian again, Zhang Xian first listened to Zhi Yuelan, and said calmly: "In Zhang Xian's opinion, when the quick aid is just in front of Hebei, there are also three great enemies of Wanyan tart lazy, Wanyan Puluhu, and Wanyan Liduo, how to defend it, and how to march the reinforcements, we still need to think carefully." ”

The two were talking, and suddenly there was a sound of soaring footsteps at the door, and as soon as Zhang Xian looked up, Lulu Gu Leping had already pushed the door in.

"Big brother is surrounded in Pingyang? Fourteen horses, we're going to save him. ”

Qiu Muling Zhonglian, Lulu Guleping, Pu Liuru Bosheng, Gao Chong and Zhang Xian, can be said to be brothers-in-law, they married Zhao Ji's eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and sixteenth emperors respectively. But only Lulu Gu Leping put the title of colt on his lips.

Zhang Xian was about to speak, when Lulu Guleping saw Zheyuelan and saluted: "I've seen my sister-in-law." ”

Zhe Yuelan covered the unhappiness in her heart and said, "General Lu wants to go to Pingyang to relieve the siege?" ”

"Yes. Pingyang has Liu Rui's hatred of abandoning the city, and it is time to fight. ”

"Brother Lu, Pingyang is not such an easy place to go." While Zhang Xian was talking, Qiu Muling, Zhonglian and others arrived, and Zhang Xian continued to talk about the topic.

"Our army wants to go to Pingyang, and it is definitely not a team that will pass by on a flat basis. On Hebei West Road, there is still Wanyan Tart, the lazy chieftain, and Wanyan Puluhu has returned from the desert and is eyeing Lu Long. Wanyan Liduo is stationed in the Daimyo, Wanyan Wushu is stationed in Luoyang, these four golden thieves, three or five days of kung fu, can be driven to Hebei East Road. ”
