Zhang Xian did not hesitate, and immediately replied: "The last general thinks that it is not the best policy to withdraw the whole division from Yanyan now. ”

"Oh? What makes sense? ”

Fei Lun's heart was full of anger, if it weren't for the other party's slight identity, he was afraid that he would be reprimanded on the spot.

In his heart, the emperor's safety is more important than anything else, and at this time, this Zhang Xian actually dared to stop him, but it made him angry.

Zhang Xian squinted at him, knowing that although this person was calm and resolute, when it came to the emperor's safety, he had actually been in chaos.

was silent at the moment, and only continued: "My division has just arrived, rushed all the way to come, and retreated in a hurry, no matter what the reason, it is bound to be in turmoil, one of them." ”

This is indeed true, not only Fei Lun's face showed a deep expression, but Yao Duan and the others also showed a look of approval.

Zhang Xian smiled faintly, regardless of what everyone was, and said: "Second, even if we don't care about the gains and losses of Yan Yan, and the enemy has gathered troops and horses, even if it is a feint, if we retreat in the whole territory, the enemy will not move forward even if he wins the city?" If it is as I expected, the enemy will attack, and it will be a trivial matter to win the city, and it is the enemy's purpose to hold us back. If we just retreat like this, and the enemy is chasing after us, shall we turn back and fight, or will we keep retreating? Although the Western Army is elite, it is stronger than the soldiers and horses of other places, but according to my experience. The sergeant retreated without a fight, he was originally depressed, the enemy chased after him, he could not fight, and he could not get out, and if he was not afraid, the whole army would be scattered. ”

When he said this, Yao Duan and the others had already changed their complexions.

Fei Lun also knew that what he said was indeed true, so he gritted his teeth and said, "In your opinion, what should it be?" ”

Zhang Xian immediately replied: "Fight! Only by taking the initiative to attack and hurt them so hard that they thought that we not only had to defend Yanyan, but also took the initiative to scare their courage away. and even make them ask for reinforcements, so that we can get out here and go to the aid of Chang'an. ”

As a general, he didn't like to run away without a fight, no matter what the purpose was, as soon as Zhang Xian's proposal came out, Yao Duan and others immediately agreed loudly.

Fei Lun was not as good as them, and immediately stared at Zhang Xian and asked, "If Liu is like this, Chang'an is in danger." If the Son of Heaven makes a mistake, even if he defeats the enemy in front of him, what can he do? ”

Zhang Xian didn't care as much about Zhao Huan's safety as he did, and only replied: "The general has already played tomorrow, and I don't think Your Majesty will be trapped in the city." I'm afraid that after receiving the letter, I will have already left. If we are in a hurry. It is not impossible to run into the enemy head-on and return to the division, and there are pursuers behind him, and it is not impossible to destroy all the soldiers and horses. If we don't protect ourselves, how can we talk about rescuing Your Majesty? If we are finished, the enemy will meet in one place, and fight together with the enemy at Tongguan, and the more than 200,000 Western Army troops that Your Majesty has worked hard to gather for more than a year will be completely wiped out, even if Your Majesty is safe and sound at that time, who will block the spear of the Jurchens for Your Majesty? ”

He actually has a heart-wrenching sentence. But he didn't dare to say it.

If Zhao Huan is really not good, the Song Dynasty still has some distant clans, which have been placed in Jiankang and Lin'an and other places, as long as they win this battle at that time. The form is even better, and what can be done to re-establish it.

Because of what happened to Zhao Gou and himself, although Zhang Xian did not have a heart of disobedience to the Son of Heaven in front of him, he was not as loyal and supportive as others, which was also human nature.

Fei Lun lowered his head and pondered, his brows furrowed in one place, and it was difficult for Lou Shi to decide.

Everyone did not dare to speak out, knowing that the situation was dangerous at this time, and could not speak freely. Like Zhang Xian, Leng Touqing dared to put the emperor's safety in second place, but others were not as bold as him.

It is also strange to say that in the lobby of this mansion, at least two-thirds of the generals have a higher status than Fei Lun, but at this time, they are looking at him blankly, waiting for Fei Lun to make a final decision.

Faeron sweated on his forehead, and he only felt that he had never been so nervous in this life as he was today.

Even on the night he escaped from Jinyuan and went to Beijing, it was not him who was in charge, but he did not have such psychological pressure at this moment.

He was so nervous that the atmosphere in the hall was stagnant for a while, and an invisible pressure pressed on everyone's hearts.

After half a ring, Fei Lun finally made up his mind, stomped his feet and said, "General Zhang is polite, that's it!" ”

Yao Duan was overjoyed when he heard this, he didn't care that Fei Lun was actually giving orders on his behalf at this time, but his nose was closed one by one, his face was full of bloodthirst, and the big war was imminent, which only made him feel that his blood was boiling, where else did he have any other thoughts.

When it comes to conquest, all the generals in the hall are more experienced than Fei Lun, and since he has made a decision, how to fight is only discussed and agreed by Yao Duan, Zhang Xian and others.

Everyone set up the sand table of Mutu, thinking about their own decision, since the enemy is assembled forward, then it must be gathered in Danzhou. Danzhou originally belonged to the jurisdiction of Jingzhaofu Road politically, and belonged to Yan Yan militarily, the former Jin soldiers entered, and all parts of Jinning in Danzhou were occupied by the enemy, and Yan Yan was not the focus of the Song army's later counterattack, after the defeat of Fuping, most of the enemy's main force retreated to all parts of Hedong, and it was not recovered.

In this way, Danzhou is like a nail planted by the enemy in the Yanyan Road, and the Jinning Army is a horn to each other, sandwiched between Yan'an Mansion and Yanzhou, and has become the biggest hidden danger in the military attitude of the Yanyan Road.

There are four counties in Danzhou, Yichuan, Xianning, Fenchuan, Yunyan, all of which are typical landforms of northern Shaanxi, and Yichuan, which is in the territory of Yinzhou, is slightly flattened, and the garrison is extremely tight.

"Just attack Yichuan directly, and you don't have to wait for the whole division to arrive."

After thinking all night, Yao Duan finally made up his mind.

Zhang Jun has received a message from Fei Lun, even if he does not immediately turn around and return to Chang'an, he will inevitably suspend the march, if he waits for Zhang Jun to know the plans of the people, and then marches over, the opportunity is fleeting.

The enemy on the opposite side, at this time, only knew that Zhang Jun's troops were coming, or that they would retreat after receiving the news, where could they have thought that Yao Duan, with a force of more than 10,000 people, would be determined to attack a strong enemy who was twice as strong as himself.

"You see, more than 20,000 infantrymen, three or four thousand cavalry."

Three days later, more than 11,000 people under Yao Duan's department had gathered in front of the fortress in front of Yichuan.

Yao Duan took Zhang Xian Feilun and others, set off on light horse, rushed ahead of the army, and went to reconnoiter the enemy's defense. Because of the great distance, they deliberately disguised themselves and paid attention to their whereabouts so that they could see the enemy's large array, but this small group of more than a dozen people could not detect their whereabouts in the enemy camp several miles away.

But after a few moments, everyone looked contemptuous.

Although there are many enemies in front of him, the main general is obviously completely disorderly, the whole camp is disorganized, the infantry and cavalry are mixed together, and the forward reconnaissance cavalry scattered out is scattered, and it is impossible to put an end to the reconnaissance cavalry of the Song army.

After looking at it for a while, Yao Duanji was confident, waved the horsewhip in his hand, and asked Zhang Xian with a smile: "What do you think?" ”

Zhang Xian also smiled, squinted his eyes and looked at it again, and replied to Yao Duan: "This battle will be won, but it will take some time." If we fight hard, most of the enemies will not be able to resist it, but as long as the main general can slightly reorganize the formation and subordinate subordinates, they will be limited to hard fighting, and even if they win, they will be defeated. ”

Yao Duan praised: "Yes, it is true. ”

Zhang Xian smiled slightly, and said: "The enemy's main general doesn't know who it is, or if we rush, he will flee first, and I don't know." It's better to lure the enemy with a small force of cavalry, the enemy sees that we have few people, and will definitely check the cavalry to chase, and when the time comes, kill a horse and rob the enemy's cavalry, and the battle below will be much easier. ”

Yao Duan smiled and asked, "Lead the enemy to ride out and attack?" That's good, I thought too. So, send the infantry forward, first set up the horses, and then go to lure the enemy? ”

Zhang Xian said with a smile: "The general is better than me, if the infantry moves, the smoke and dust rise, and the enemy is not a fool, do you dare to chase after it, only by using cavalry to control the enemy, even if the enemy sees the wrong, he will not be able to escape." ”

Yao Duan does have the intention of comparing, Zhang Xian has always been famous for the three armies of Yongguan in Yue Fei's army, and he has always been the master of rushing and killing in front of the battle.

laughed at the moment and revealed the matter, but he arranged a partial cavalry colonel, ready to let him take one or two hundred cavalry to the enemy formation to challenge.

Zhang Xian stopped his hand and said with a smile: "I have done a lot of this kind of thing, how about letting me show my skills?" ”

Yao Duan was stunned at first, seeing that Zhang Xian's face was full of determination, and he also wanted to see the demeanor of this young famous general, so he nodded and said, "Okay, please ask General Zhang to go out first." ”

With his permission, Zhang Xian first smiled, and then turned the iron spear in his hand horizontally, but he smiled and accepted it.

He shook his hand, and the iron spear made of pig iron was nothing, and then he clamped the horse's body, and a puff of light smoke floated up, and in a moment he had returned to the camp at the bottom of the valley, called dozens of his own soldiers, and rode his horse to the enemy camp in front.

After a few moments, this small group of cavalry had been spotted by the enemy camp opposite.

On the brown and yellow land of northern Shaanxi, the cavalry of the Song Dynasty wearing red robes is particularly conspicuous. As they expected, after seeing this small group of Song troops, because the two sides often have small chess clashes and battles, Yao Duan's main force was far apart, and was not noticed by the enemy, after seeing this small group of cavalry suddenly appear, after a small commotion, the enemy's commander obviously gave an order, the camp gate was wide open, and after a period of chaos, more than a thousand cavalry rushed out of the camp and chased towards Zhang Xian, a small group of chair soldiers.

"So little?"

Zhang Xian was unwilling, but he didn't want to retreat like this.

The enemy in front of them, the only threat to the Song army is the cavalry team that exceeds twice the size of the Song army, if they cannot be defeated in a battle, the main force will face off in a while, and the forces will cause great trouble to the Song army.

He made up his mind and refused to turn around and flee immediately. Seeing that Zhang Xian refused to retreat, he knew the meaning of the main general, and each of them controlled the horses one by one, and then opened their bows and arrows, and waited for the enemy cavalry to get a little closer, and entered the firing range.
