In the autumn wind, a group of more than ten horsemen came from the valley and valley road, starting with a cabinet of Duzhen, one of the smallest military attaches in the current Great Song Dynasty military attache system, and now carrying a bronze sun on his shoulder, showing his military rank, on the chest sign, you can vaguely see: Zeng Xiaoyang's words of the 17th team of the third battalion of the Fifth Army of the Imperial Camp.

They galloped along the way, carefully bypassing the dead bodies and broken weapons along the road, it had just rained, and the puddles of water accumulated everywhere, and the knights controlled the horses to make small jumps, but they still could not avoid the horses' hooves stepping on the water and filling the water, and the blood and water accumulated in the water, throwing them up, and falling straight to the knights' legs, and even on their chests and waists.

Zeng Xiaowei was sweating profusely, and when he arrived at the gate of the Song army camp at the end of Degu Road, he saw the hunting sound of the "Yao" character flag being blown in the autumn wind at the camp gate, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath, and his originally gloomy face gradually became lively.

Seeing a group of Song soldiers coming forward at the camp gate, he jumped off his horse, looked with his eyes, and saw that the other party's rank was the same as him, and he expected to be a capital leader, so he squeezed out a smile on his face and strode forward to meet him.

He was only in a hurry to talk to the other party, but he didn't watch out for stepping on a puddle with his feet, splashing his head and face full of blood, he babbled, only felt that his mouth was salty and seeping, and after a little taste, it seemed that there was still a bit of meat crumbs, and he panicked, and hurriedly untied the gourd on his waist, sent it to his mouth and drank two sips, and then rinsed a few mouthfuls and spit it out, which was the end.

Seeing that the commander was so embarrassed, the soldiers under his command couldn't help laughing, and the one who was awake took off his handkerchief around the head and wiped it carefully for him.

"What are you doing, don't make a noise outside the gates of the camp!"

In the midst of the commotion, the head of the camp came forward, pressed his sword with one hand, and shouted loudly outside.

"It's great, but I won a battle, just like my mother's king Lao Tzu."

Looking at the other party's seriousness, Zeng Xiaowei was quite unhappy, but he saw that the other party had a dead face. The rest of the soldiers also had solemn faces, and their armor was neat and their weapons were bright, but they couldn't help but slap out in their hearts, and they didn't dare to slack off anymore, so they had to give a salute and said to Nadu: "The last general is on the order of Chief Manager Zhang to send military orders to Deputy Chief Manager Yao." ”

"Oh?" Nadu glanced at Zeng Xiaowei with suspicion, and said coldly: "Wait!" ”

Then he turned around. He took the letter sealed in raw lacquer and went to look for the staff officer on duty in the camp.

"What virtue!"

Zeng Xiaowei couldn't help but scolded in a low voice, very unhappy. Just looked at the eyes of the soldiers on the other side, but he only felt that it was the same as the head of the capital, they were all cold and cold, completely lifeless, and after looking at each other for a few laps, he no longer dared to look indiscriminately, so he had to bow his head and honestly wait for someone from the camp to reply.

He was in Zhang Junjun's army, and he was responsible for sending letters back and forth. All the ministries are familiar with the ground. This Yao Duan's former army always has to run dozens of times a year, and the former army has a deep affection. Seeing him coming, the officers who were in charge of his own reception came to greet him, feed the horses and wash the dust, and after doing official business, they drank at night, and they couldn't help laughing together, and no one dared to snub the officers who came from the Chinese army. Who would have thought that after the Yichuan War, Yao Duan's department has been separated from Zhang Junbu these days, and after a few battles, he has won a series of bloody battles, and when Zeng Xiaowei came from this corpse and the sea of blood, he only felt that the weather in the other party's camp was far different from that year. He was also a military man. I was unconvinced, but I still couldn't help but sigh secretly, Yao Duan's department was originally the most elite among Zhang Jun's subordinates, and now it seems that the combat power of Yao Duan's front army is afraid that it has far exceeded the middle army and the rear army.

He was thinking about how to report to the officials when he returned, but he saw a group of officers wading through the water not far away, and the cowhide boots made a noise in the water. The other party just ignored it.

When I got a little closer, I saw that Yao Duan came in person and ordered someone to open the camp gate, Yao Duan ordered someone to take the Maza, and sat not far from the camp gate, spread his legs, shaking Zhang Jun's military order document in his hand, and asked Zeng Xiaowei with his eyes: "This military order was handed over to you by the marshal himself?" ”

"Yes!" Zeng Xiaowei didn't dare to slack off, and respectfully gave a military salute to Yao Duan, and replied with his chest and belly high, but he also looked like a soldier.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Yao Duanyu was sarcastic, looked around and laughed: "Let's listen to what kind of charter the big marshal is." ”

Beside him, more than a dozen adjutant generals were in a circle, standing casually and unstructuredly, but they were all full of murderous intent, blood-red eyes stared straight at Zeng Xiaoqing, and some people gritted their teeth and pressed the waist knife, as if they were about to split the little head in front of him in half if they didn't agree with each other, ordinary people couldn't stand this situation, even if Zeng Xiaoyang was also an old soldier, but he rarely fought in battle, where could he withstand it, this momentum hit, so that Zeng Xiaoyang shivered a few times, and was frightened inexplicably.

But it is no wonder that Yao Duan and his generals were dissatisfied, Zhang Jun refused to pay attention to their request to join forces, and only used the main force as a partial division, specializing in fighting where the enemy was not defended

The Sichuan Mansion was taken all, and the soldiers who reported the victory were in an endless stream, rushing to Chang'an.

When the Jin soldiers showed signs of retreating to defend Taiyuan, Zhang Junyi refused to attack Taiyuan to cut off the enemy's rear road, and refused to insert the Weide army to intercept the rout, and sat back and watched nearly 20,000 Jurchen soldiers calmly retreat from Pingyang to Taiyuan, so that the war situation in Hedong could not end quickly, and the war disaster was unpredictable, all of which were caused by Zhang Jun's too conservative and selfish.

In this way, Rao is Yao Duan still has some old feelings for Zhang Jun, but at this time, he has also put it all aside.

Zeng Xiaoyang didn't know what was going on, but he also knew that the situation was wrong, so he had to reply cautiously: "That night, the marshal summoned him overnight, first asked Staff Officer Luo to draw up a military order, and then used the seal, and the last general was waiting on the side, and after sealing it, he ordered the last general to go on the road overnight without delay." ”

"Did the marshal mention that day, Jin Bing would retire to Taiyuan?"

"No, even if there is, with the position of the last general, even if the commander preaches the military situation, it is not the turn of the last general to listen."

"Oh."

Yao Duan nodded silently, waved his hand, and said, "I know, you go, let someone prepare a tent for you, so that you can rest, and when I go back to the book, I will send it back to Dashuai." ”

Seeing Zeng Xiaoyi turn around to go down, Yao Duan stopped him again and asked with a smile: "Is there anything else going on in the night camp?" ”

Zeng Xiaowei thought for a while, and then replied: "I heard that the marshal and Taiyuan City contacted, that night the camp gate opened and closed a few times, I think that there are people in Taiyuan City, and when the last general goes out, the camp gate is very dissatisfied, muttering a few words, the last general knows." ”

Yao Duan's eyes lit up, and only then did he know the end completely.

waved his hand to order Zeng Xiaowei to retreat, then looked around and said with a smile: "I have been stuffy in the tent for a long time, and the people of this mountain of corpses and blood outside can't see it. Everyone, how about you just scatter with me? ”

Everyone was silent for a while, knowing that he was angry with a smile on his face, but it was not easy to persuade him. I had to be speechless, and we followed Yao out of the camp gate together, and walked leisurely on the battlefield full of dead corpses.

The battle in Pingyang has been fought for half a month, with guns and knives coming and going on both sides, arrows and stones raining down, and heavy casualties. Yao Duan's department is less than 11,000 people, plus more than 5,000 people in Kang Cheng's land, and now it is full of calculations, that is, there are more than 10,000 people, among which there are many wounded, and the Jin soldiers are also extremely miserable, and almost all the Han troops after the break are killed, and the 25,000 or 6,000 Jurchen soldiers who slowly gathered and gathered, and the estimated ones who fled back to Taiyuan are less than 20,000, and the battlefield that stretches for more than ten miles in front of them is full of the corpses of the Jin soldiers, and the corpses of the Song army soldiers have long been collected and buried, but the enemy's is not cared about for the time being, but fortunately, the weather is cold, and they are not afraid of the epidemic for the time being.

Yao Duan looked at this tragic battlefield in his eyes, but his mind was already uncertain, and his mind was full of Zhang Jun's military orders. Comply, the strength in his hands has been greatly reduced, don't obey, but Zhang Jun is his boss, and he can't openly disobey orders. It's a pity that Kang Cheng saw that the fighting in Pingyang stopped, and he couldn't rest assured that he couldn't go down to Chang'an, leaving the troops to go back on their own.

Thinking of this, he sighed silently in his heart, and said to the generals: "It is difficult to disobey the order, so I have to obey the order." Fortunately, the soldiers rested for a few days and came back to their senses slightly. ”

He waved his hand weakly and said, "Let's do it tomorrow." ”

The others were speechless, but Zhang Xian said urgently: "In this way, how about Taiyuan, with Zhang Jun's 20,000 people, it would be good to be able to trap the enemy, and he could still attack the city?" ”

Yao Duan smiled bitterly: "The marshal said that he would build a long base outside the city first, which is not bad." How to fight next, rely on His Majesty's holy judgment. ”

Zhang Xian had a straightforward temper, he was furious when he heard the words, and he wanted to scold him, but he hindered the face of Yao Duan and others, so he couldn't make a sound, but he blushed, and after half a sound, he finally spit on the ground before he did it.

Yao Duan was actually very angry, and he had already made up his mind to leave Zhang Jun and ask him to transfer to other departments, but at this time, he had calmed down, and when he saw Zhang Xian like this, he had to say again: "In fact, the Zhe family will be the town of Sanzhou, and it is not as famous as the Yang family in the script, we all know that the Zhe family is not a vegetarian, if it is really true, you can ask for help, no matter whether it is true or not, it is more difficult to deal with than the current Hedong Jin Bing." went to attack the discount house first, and also cut off the enemy's nearest backup. ”

Although Zhang Xian knew that he was consoling, he also felt reasonable, so he had to sigh and smile bitterly, and replied with his hands: "It has to be like this." ”

The two were looking at each other and smiling bitterly, but they saw a group of cavalry galloping not far from the camp, and after a while, they saw that it was Fei Lun, who had already returned to Chang'an to restore his life, Zhang Xian was overjoyed when he saw it, and smiled at Yao Duan: "This person is here, things may have a turnaround!" ”
