The generals are so good that they have experienced the holy will, General Yao, and the last general also knows that your department is very tired Xiong Xiang returned to Chang'an, saying that the battle in Pingyang was tragic, although he had been in battle for a long time, he couldn't help but cry like rain. However, today's war is anxious, Tongguan is also a few battles a day, every day the city is close to the left, have to drag away thousands of corpses, the more the enemy is in the Tongguan area, it means that he can't make a sound for the time being, or is afraid that we will divide the troops in Hedong, so after the meeting between His Majesty and the cardinal, they all think that the war in Hedong is the most important, as long as Taiyuan is defeated, you have to return to Yunzhong, along the line of the Great Wall, it is difficult for the enemy to enter an inch, and Taiyuan is a place of victory, to the east is the Taihang mountains, to get this strategic place, and can threaten Hebei, and can aid Jingdong and Jingxi. ”

Speaking of this, Fei Lun had already put away all his smiles, and said word by word: "The war in Hedong is important, and the overall situation in Hedong is the key to Linfu Feng Sanzhou. Today's meeting with the generals is to ask the soldiers and horses of the front army of the Fifth Army and the front division of the palace to press to Linzhou, and to use force to respond internally, and force the surrender to be sought. Among them, the joints are extremely important, please grasp the joints well, the slightest carelessness to interfere with the overall situation, is a hundred deaths. ”

As the main general, Yao Duan already understands the reason. The matter of inducing surrender and seeking can inevitably trigger a backlash within the Song army, and if it succeeds, failure will inevitably damage the prestige and dignity of the principal. Therefore, the emperor will not issue an edict explicitly, and the cardinal government will not officially issue an order, and when Fei Lun Shi arrived, he said that Zhang Junjun's military order was just right, but it turned out to be this truth.

Thinking that the other party was deliberately embarrassed, but inadvertently carried a big black cauldron, Yao Duan laughed secretly in his stomach, although Fei Lun said solemnly, his face was full of smiles.

Seeing that Fei Lun glanced at himself intentionally or unintentionally, Yao Duan hurriedly straightened his face again, and said in a deep voice: "I already understand this matter, since literature is the main thing. Supplemented by military affairs, General Fei was asked to preside over his affairs, and the generals in the account listened to the dispatch. ”

Fei Lun smiled: "How dare the last general borrow like this. ”

"What are these words, I'm good at fighting, and nothing else is going on." Yao Duan had a straight face, but he hit a few haha in a row, and said: "Anyway, General Fei is presiding over this matter." Yao only acted according to orders. ”

Fei Lun also knew that Yao Duan didn't want to take the blame, so he had to nod with a smile, which was considered to be a matter of response.

Although the whole army was very tired, fortunately, on the way back to Chang'an, Fei Lun urged the government and the troops of the Xiang army along the way to prepare ships and transport supplies day and night. Morale was boosted. A large number of weapons, armor, bows, arrows and arrows have been replenished, and the combat power has recovered unevenly, after resting for a few days. The physical strength and spirit also recovered slightly, the military order was given, the officers at all levels were driven, and more than 10,000 soldiers moved together, and they started in the early morning, and after noon, they had been cleaned up, Yao Duan gave an order, and Zhang Xian and Fei Lun led two thousand cavalry forward, and the foot soldiers followed, and then five or six days. Every day, more than ten days later, we arrived at the boundary of the three states.

Linfu Feng Sanzhou, is the only Hedong Road in the west of the Yellow River boundary, Hedong Road for the Jin land, mountains and rivers are connected, the Yellow River water from the Hetao from the top down, rolling to, tributaries vertical and horizontal. By the time of the Song Dynasty, the water conservancy in Guanshan was destroyed, and the east of the river was irrigated by the Yellow River, the land was fertile, the grain was high, and in addition to self-sufficiency, it could also support other roads. The three prefectures of Linfu and Feng are all in the west of the Yellow River, and the residents of the Han and Han dynasties are light and fierce, among which the two prefectures of Linfeng are still north of the Great Wall, connected with the borders of Khitan and Xixia, there are many places in the state that are grasslands and deserts side by side, the land is very little, the people are half farming and half grazing, and the food required is often insufficient, and it needs to be transported by Hedong and Shaanxi. However, the strategic position is extremely important, at the beginning of the summer, Li Yuanhao once attacked Sanzhou, Fengzhou City fell quickly, Linfu Erzhou was lonely, Yuan Hao attacked every day, the Song Dynasty had a discussion to give up, but finally because of the Sanzhou north to protect Yan'an, east to protect Jinning, Qingjian Village and other places, the strategic position is too important, so the heavy troops are repeated, must have protected the three states, so that Li Yuanhao finally returned in vain.

In the end, the three states had to choose the party item who was very prominent in the Tang Dynasty in the three states, and did not live up to expectations, and the Zhe family lived up to expectations, and was loyal and brave for more than 100 years, and made great contributions to the Song Ting's resistance to the Khitan in the east and the rejection of the party in the west.

More than 10,000 Song troops lined up more than ten miles of long snake array, the front is the elite cavalry led by Yao Duan Zhang Xian personally, back and forth, guarding the two wings, behind the cavalry formation, is to sword players and spear gunners as the first rank, crossbowmen in the middle, the last infantry team. Because of the urgency of time, the battle between Tongguan and Taiyuan changed rapidly, Yao Duan only brought a small amount of grain after discussing with the generals, which was only enough to support the siege of less than ten days.

In the eyes of the Fengzhou guards, the Song army in front of him is murderous, a team of more than 10,000 people, no noise and noise, strict military discipline, the soldiers' faces are still far away, I can't see it really, but I only feel that every

The individuals are all calm and resolute, and their murderous aura is exposed.

Linfu Feng Sanzhou is an out-and-out military front, see the Khitan cavalry, Xia State Iron Harrier are more, over the years, the Khitan people are corrupt and degenerate, the Xia people's military discipline is corrupt, the legendary elite soldiers have long been not good at all, but the Jurchens who came to the city of Sanzhou three years ago, as well as the Song army in front of them, have such a taste of the elite troops of the two countries back then.

The town guards Fengzhou is the veteran He Guan, since Xuanhe served as a reserve envoy, know Fengzhou, a flash has been more than 20 years of time, this person has a resolute character, when Tong Guan in Shaanxi Hedong two roads and so on if one side of the wait, no one does not look up to his snort, only this person to the other party is a eunuch identity, see but not worship, and the head of the folded family at that time is the famous Zhi Keshi, even Tong Guan can not afford to offend, He Guan so style, Tong Guan also just sighed and left, do not dare to make trouble.

At this time, he was over the age of six, and his energy and physical strength were not as good as before, but his eyes were still bright, holding his sword in both hands, standing under the city tower and overlooking the Song army's array. ”

Hearing these words in Yao Duan's ears, I was afraid that I would have to refute them, but in the ears of the generals of the city tower, they were praised at the top. Zhe Keshi broke the Xia army of 100,000 with 8,000 folds, although it is the hero of the main general, how can his soldiers wait for leisure? Most of the hands of He Guan are the old men of the fold family, all of whom have been under the command of Zhe Keshi from the conquest and service, at the beginning I heard how He Guan praised, everyone was still not convinced, and when the Song army approached a little closer, I felt that the other party ordered the forbidden army to be in a strict formation, and everyone was a veteran of the battlefield, the temperament of the army in front of him after a bloody battle, but it was impossible to deceive people, it was good to be far away, a little closer, the slaughtering atmosphere formed by the long battle on the battlefield was approaching, but the people in the city only felt that the cold air was attacking, and it was extremely cold.

He Guan is one of the few people who know the inside story, whether it is the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, or the cardinal government, anyway, he sent someone to negotiate with Zhe Keqiu in Linzhou, the current situation and from the point of view of the response to Zhe Keqiu, he did not pay much attention to the Song army that forced him to kill, obviously there was a period of surrender, he surrendered with Zhe Keqiu, because the soldiers under his hands were all people's people, and their own family members also fell into the hands of the enemy, and they had no choice but to do so.

It was in his heart that he was comfortable, and an officer of the Shaozhuang faction didn't know what to do, so he stepped forward and asked: "General, the enemy's momentum is pressing, it is better to open the city and kill for a while, and suppress the prestige of the other party." ”

He Guan was stunned and reprimanded: "There are only 2,000 soldiers in the city, more than 10,000 people, and there are more than 2,000 cavalry in front of the infantry formation. ”

The general snorted, "Then can't you just watch people set up camp under our city?" ”

"What if you don't look at it?" He Guan sat and waited for surrender, how could he make trouble, seeing that everyone didn't dare to speak anymore, he still didn't let go of himself, and scolded again: "Stupid, how to deal with the decision of the people from Linzhou, you all stay honest for me, without my general order, you are not allowed to make trouble!" ”

In fact, although he was from the perspective of surrender, the army in front of him was indeed able to withstand the enemy with less than 2,000 troops in Fengzhou City.

With nearly 10,000 foot soldiers and more than 2,000 cavalry, Fengzhou City is the narrowest and narrowest of the three cities, and there are still problems with self-protection, let alone the city invitation.

In the evening, the sky was originally red around the sun, gradually shrouded by a touch of heavy black clouds, in an instant, the wind and clouds surged, the sky changed greatly, when it really came to the time of the palm lamp, the sky first fell sparse and sparse snow, and then there were patches of goose feather snow, less than an hour of effort, on the top of the Song military camp tent within a radius of several miles, it was already snow.

Yao Duanqi's face was pale, Linfeng Mansion Sanzhou was still in the northern part of Shaanxi and Shanxi in the later generations, close to Inner Mongolia, and it was extremely cold as soon as it was winter, and at this time, it was just the turn of autumn and winter, but it had begun to snow so heavily, but he didn't expect it.

Fortunately, the grain belt is early, but the winter clothes have been issued, the east of the river is cold, the siege of Taiyuan may be protracted, others can be delayed, the soldiers' winter clothes can never be delayed, it is to set off from Pingyang, supplies along the way, have long been changed, if not, I am afraid that I can't do it in the city, I have to retreat first.

Rao is so, this heavy snow still brings great trouble to the Song army, the snow continues to oppress the Song army's camp tent, the weather is cold, but it is constantly necessary to use people to clear the snow on the top of the tent, otherwise I am afraid that the day will be bright, and all the tents will be pressed across. And the snow does not stop, the cold wind goes straight into the tent, although the quilt is full of winter clothes, and try to find some wood to make a fire, in the camp of more than 10,000 people, there is still trembling, gritting teeth and sneezing, endlessly.

"Variables, how fucking good is this!"

Yao Duan patrolled until midnight, and finally the heavy snow gradually began to lighten, so he was a little relieved, and several pro-soldiers surrounded him in front and back, holding torches, stepping on the snow that was already a foot deep, and returned to his tent.
