Chapter 49: Come (3)
He turned around immediately, shouted loudly at the Baiye soldiers who were silently looking at him behind him and said, "Look at them all! I didn't break my promise!"
The knight immediately crossed his hands and saluted. Yishui Xiaoxiao seemed to have rolled up silent waves at this moment.
This roar seemed to finally make the depression in my heart radiate, but the soldiers of Changsheng, who were kneeling on Xiao Yan, lie down on the ground even lower!
Xiao Yan smiled faintly.
Yaoshi Guo is not dead... I am still lying in the yamen office. I don’t know if it’s true or false. However, he is a hero. He knows that he is no longer able to make a decision for the time being, so it’s better to compromise. If he really wants to eliminate this hidden danger for Yandi and completely digest the Changsheng Army in the Song Dynasty, the best choice is of course to take advantage of Guo Yaoshi's weakest time and simply kill his sworn brother!
His eyes moved and subconsciously turned to Guo Rong. However, Guo Rong was just looking at him deeply.
This girl was also covered in scars, but at this time, she straightened her waist stubbornly. The meaning of begging in her eyes could not be hidden.
Guo Rong is simple, but it is easier to see the essence of things clearly. Maybe she has long felt her guard against Guo Yaoshi, so she took the initiative to look at her body?
Ma Kuo was in the queue and shook his head slightly.
Xiao Yan touched his nose habitually. At this time, he was exhausted. If he forced him to play with Pharmacist Guo again, he would probably have to explain here.........Is it better to wait for the support to come... Everyone wants to share his great achievements in this battle. As long as the army comes up, how can he deal with Pharmacist Guo? Now he is much more important to the Song Dynasty, which is much worse than Pharmacist Guo!
Xiao Yan smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone is up! Take us to see Guo Duguan. Now he is Song Chen. In the future, the army will continue to fight the northern expedition, and I am just about to do my best!"
"Enter the city! We finally came to Yizhou!"

On the banks of the Baigou River, the sun sets in the west. A group of Song troops, with about a thousand men, drove the brigade of cars and horses, just crossing the river in sequence.
There was no trace of Liao people on both sides of the Baigou River. This team of Song army commanders had already sent a post to explore the vicinity clearly.
In a blink of an eye, the Liao people left so cleanly. I don’t know what happened to them, and even abandoned this critical clutch without defending it. Could it be that Xiao Xuanzan, who had already caused the Liao people to be in chaos?
Nearly halfway through the river, the generals led the team to the riverside and saw a young man wearing a Song robe, a black shiny head, and a silverfish bag tied around his waist, walking alone by the river, looking at the bleak scenery on both sides, muttering to himself, wondering if he was poetic.
The officer saluted from a distance: "Sir Fang, it's time to cross the river... It's getting late, we're going to camp in Hebei..."
The young man turned his head, but his eyebrows were clear and his eyes were beautiful. He smiled and looked very cheerful: "I am also poor and greedy. I look at the scenery! If it weren't for the Xiao Xuanzan, Fang wouldn't know when he would have seen the scene of the Song and Liao border river in Baigou! Let's go... hurry up and see that Xiao Xuanzan! He is really brave and dares to scare Xiao Gan, the king of the Four Army of the Great Liao Dynasty! I don't know if we arrived in Zhuozhou, there would be no such thing as this good news? This has been rare in the past few decades!"
In the night, everything in Yizhou was ruined was just bathed in the moonlight.
The gloomy weather in the past few days has finally completely dissipated. The clear light in the sky is just sprinkled without hesitation, adding a three-point cool breath to all the broken scenery of the battlefield around them.
The extent of Yizhou's destruction was extremely amazing. The soldiers of the Song army originally thought that the front line of Xiongzhou was already in chaos. When they arrived in Zhuozhou, they knew how chaotic the north had reached. Unexpectedly, when they arrived in Yizhou, they found that this place could no longer be called the human world!
The smell of corpse smell was everywhere, but no one was going to bury these dead souls. The remaining people in Yizhou, as well as the people who were conquered by Xiao Gan and the others, were wandering around the city like a lonely ghost. The soldiers of the Changsheng Army took out a small amount of food, found a broken pot and cooked it, and first offered it to the white bark soldiers who were also living in the rubble pile of Yizhou, and then ate it voraciously. During the fierce battle, people lost their normal sense of taste, as if they could fight without eating. At this time, the feeling of hunger and fatigue returned to them.
Whether it is the Baiye soldiers or the Shengsheng Army, they often take a few bites of food in their hands and fall asleep with their heads down, regardless of where they are. No matter where they are inside and outside the city, these two armies are fighting too tragically.
The people patroled not far from the kang stove where the Changsheng Army was cooking. When they saw the leftovers of soup and cold roasted, they rushed forward to fight. The Changsheng Army just looked at everything in front of them indifferently, and occasionally waved their hands weakly to drive them away. The Baiye soldiers naturally regarded themselves as the king's army, but now they no longer had the energy to take care of these refugees. At most, they just stopped them when the Changsheng Army scolded them. In the end, inside and outside the city of Yizhou City, people were snoring loudly in the rubble. Only the guards on duty were still holding on and walking around, but they were so numb that they didn't know what they were guarding.
The Changsheng Army tried its best to settle the Song army that came to rescue them, but Yizhou is now so ruined, and the only remaining magistrates have few complete houses. Xiao Yan and Ma Kuo moved in with some seriously injured people, and only everyone was wronged. However, seeing Yizhou like this, everyone understood that it was impossible to rely on this place to defend. Zhuozhou was closer to Yanjing, Xiao Yan was afraid that he would lead everyone back to the army soon. If he had some suffering, he would bear it first. As long as he returned to Zhuozhou alive, these extraordinary achievements he had established with Xiao Yan were even passed on to the official family!
On this night, these simple and brave elite Western Army soldiers who came from Zhuozhou all the way, and even crossed the Baigou River from the north and were still tense, felt relaxed and fell asleep for the first time.
But Xiao Yan couldn't sleep at this time.
The magistrate's office was on the verge of guards, and the soldiers of Changsheng Army and Baiye were still intact, but they were only warned at the small vacancies of all sizes. The ruling office had tried their best to clean up, but the battle in Yizhou was so tragic that it was difficult to find a complete utensil in the magistrate's office.
Xiao Yan ordered all the seriously injured to come here. If there was no place, even Pharmacist Guo would have to drive out! Lay straw on the ground and place the seriously injured one by one. Changsheng Army was so busy that it was too busy to burn hot water to change the wounded medicine, for fear that Xiao Yan would be slower and slow down. Logically speaking, these people were always from the Western Army and the Shengjie Army. No matter how good Xiao Yan showed goodwill, according to the Song system, this team would not be his. The Changsheng Army could really take it for himself. This treatment should be the opposite, but Xiao Yan just didn't want to use his scheming on this. As long as these dead soldiers who followed him were within their ability, they would get the best!
After all the wounded were settled, Xiao Yan went to see Yaoshi Guo who was in the wounded yamen office at this time. Guo Rong had already cried with Yaoshi Guo.
As soon as I saw Guo Yaoshi, I could only see the hero's short-sigh on his face, lying on the couch with exhaustion. When I thought about it hard, I could only ask Guo Rong to help. My face was already thin, and my voice was low and I was just intermittent.
At first, Yaoshi Guo just expressed his gratitude, and tears were uncontrollable and seemed to slide down his face. He said that he would treat Xiao Yan very well on the couch. In the end, under Xiao Yan's obstruction, Yaoshi Guo just kept saying that he was exhausted and seriously injured. He was willing to return to the Song Dynasty as a single person, recover his injuries, and serve the Song Dynasty in the future. The military trump card of the Changsheng Army has nothing to do with whether it exists or not. No matter how it is arranged and dealt with, Xiao Yan decides! He is no longer able to lead these brothers of life and death, and can only ask Xiao Xuanzang to take care of his brothers, so that the Changsheng Army can truly become a soldier of the Song Dynasty! Once the northern expedition, he only wants to let the Changsheng Army take the lead and serve himself. For the others, Guo Yaoshi has nothing to ask for.
The hero is short of breath, this is what he looks like? Could it be that Guo Yaoshi is so smart that he has such great wisdom to advance and retreat, and understand when should he let go decisively?
Xiao Yan just didn't believe it, and there was no other reason. He personally felt the intoxicating thing about holding power and dominating the world. Guo Yaoshi was also in the game, so why was he willing to let go?
After dealing with Guo Yaoshi, Xiao Yan was just indifferent, but said that he would come to the east early to accept Guo Yaoshi. Zhuozhou was quieter and he could recover from his injuries. If it was not possible, it would be a matter of one word to go back to the Song Dynasty. Xuan Shuai would never be slow to treat his righteous brother. As for the complete adaptation of the Changsheng Army, let's talk about it slowly...
When he said to Xiao Yan, Guo Yaoshi looked grateful and leaned against the couch and nodded. Thinking about more than a month ago, when Xiao Yan was standing in front of Guo Yaoshi as an envoy, the status of both sides was so dramatically reversed! Xiao Yan had been fighting for a long time, but he didn't seem so arrogant, and Guo Yaoshi seemed natural. It was normal for the two of them to have such a high and low status.
Guo Rong was just watching them quietly while Xiao Yan and Guo Yaoshi were talking, without saying a word. Finally, Guo Yaoshi asked her to send Xiao Yan out on her behalf, but she just obeyed the order and sent Xiao Yan to the door. She gave Xiao Yan a brief gift and went back.
——In the end, did Guo Rong just choose her own father? It should be like this, it should be like this... In this chaotic era, we all have our own positions and struggle hard in God’s chess game!
Under the moonlight, Xiao Yan did not return to his temporary resting place. There was no cute little mute waiting for him, so he was not very attractive. He just walked slowly in the moonlight in the courtyard. The guards beside him reflected the glimmer of stars and moon on the armor. In the night, only the wounded moans were heard.
I am really in Yizhou now? Until now, Xiao Yan still felt a little dazed. He stretched out his hand and watched the reins he had been holding on to the reins he had been working on, or the calluses he had polished out of weapons all day, looking at the muscles and bones of his arms, gradually showing a solid appearance, just a smile of sadness.
I can never become that little white-collar worker again...
