Volume 1 Yanyun Chaos Chapter 169 The ending of each person in the Yanyun war (2)(1/2)
"Justice, you're back! What's there? What's there?"
Wang Bing probably never enjoyed such courtesy as Tong Guan in his life. The people in front of him were given first. Before he could reach the second gate, Tong Guan had already rushed to more than ten steps outside the second gate!
The Xuanfu Governor of the Third Route of Hebei, the commander of the Song Dynasty, who was nominally commanding the entire Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty. He did not take any followers and then strode out. Although he was in a formal official uniform and wearing a narrow-winged gauze hat, it was not smooth. The hair under the hat was not neat, and a few strands were hanging in a mess. Not to mention the ugly face and dark circles.
In the past, Tong Guan was not to mention his demeanor. He was a tall and majestic man among eunuchs. He was praised everywhere he went, and he was praised for being so majestic, with a strong demeanor and a beautiful person around him. He was even more like a cloud of people. When have you ever seen him like this, he was so haggard and welcoming him like this!
Several Huanqing Army guards who were lazily on duty outside the second gate seemed to have seen the embarrassing and haggard appearance of Xuan Shuai in the past few days, and they were too lazy to raise their eyelids. Wang Bing took a deep breath and wanted to salute deeply. Tong Guan couldn't tolerate him salute, so he grabbed Wang Bing's hand: "What's the matter at this time? What's going on before?"
Wang Bing glanced left and right, and Tong Guan also reacted and calmed down a little. He held Wang Bing's hand and strode into the second gate, hurriedly heading straight to his ritual hall. His steps were so fast that even the martial minister, who was in his prime, was a little unable to keep up with his energy and physical strength!
Tong Guan walked all the way to the hall, and before the person arrived, he ordered loudly: "No one is allowed to stay, just retreat! Outside the hall, no one is allowed to step in within thirty steps. Whoever dares to collide, will take down the marching law immediately!"
Tong Guan shouted, the Huanqing Army guards who were already on duty in the festival hall were exhausted and immediately dispersed. Just kidding, who dared to touch the old eunuch's bad temper now?
After pulling Wang Bing into the festival, Tong Guan could no longer hold on. He was so nervous that he couldn't even speak. He just looked at Wang Bing eagerly without blinking, hoping to tell some good news from him!
Originally, when it comes to Tong Guan's demeanor, he would never reach this point. However, people are afraid of being too selfish and worrying about gains and losses for too long. Once their heart is weak, they will be more and more confused about the disadvantages. The more they think about them, the more they will feel that the bad things are unknown. They will never be able to hold on to any kind of air.
Seeing Tong Guan like this, Wang Bing couldn't help but sigh in his heart again. If Shuai Xuan was like this, even if he passed this pass safely, he would no longer be the one who could sit in the border of the Song Dynasty, and in the Bianliang court, and in the army......
He took a deep breath and whispered: "I have received the letter from Shuai Shuai on the way... Xiao Xuanzan defeated Yanjing. It is difficult for Japan to come to see you these days, but he never mentioned the official military report to Shuai Shuai. I was helpless. Suddenly, Xiao Xuanzan took me to the meeting with Zhao Xuanzan and Guo Du... The love between Zhao Xuanzan and Xuanzan had already happened... Xiao Yan's important thing is now probably already in the hands of Zhao Xuanzan..."
Tong Guan couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. His old face turned red and his expression changed. It can be seen that at this time, I don't know how many thoughts were rising and falling in his heart!
"Zhao Liangsi actually has such a skill! Where is the Liao princess now? Do you really have to use this Liao princess to tear Xiao Yan? But the news that Xiao Yan defeated Yanjing has been released, but I can no longer block it... If I take this opportunity to tear Xiao Yan off, deal with him and take over his achievements, I don't know if it can be covered in front of the official family?......... The imprisoned husband is still in love, but I don't know how much strength he will use behind his back, so that he can deal with Xiao Yan safely?"
He suddenly froze there and murmured to himself. This was undoubtedly a good excuse to deal with Xiao Yan. But he was afraid that he would not be able to drag him down if he dealt with Xiao Yan and seized his achievements. God knew what the hostile faction in the Bianliang court would do with him to deal with Xiao Yan's affairs. God knew whether his allies would help him cover it up!
After muttering to himself for a while, Tong Guan realized that this happened. How Xiao Yan responded was the key! The best result was that Xiao Yan could give in immediately and contribute the achievements with both hands. He also spoke to him, confirming Tong Guan's great achievements. Then the clouds and mists would disappear all day long. How to deal with Xiao Yan in the future is a matter of the future.
Wang Bing came here, and he must have brought Xiao Yan's response attitude!
He waved his hand violently: "Xiao Xuanzan is a meritorious minister. Zhao Xuanzan's move is really too rude! Even if a mysterious girl fell into Zhao Xuanzan's hands, what's the use of me? Is it brought it now or is it with Zhao Xuanzan? If I bring it, I will hand it back to Xiao Xuanzan with my own hands. What does Xiao Xuanzan mean? I ask the minister to tell me?"
Wang Bing's voice was still low. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to laugh out loud. Everyone had their own thoughts and their own plans. They were also circling around a girl who had no fists or courage in the previous dynasty! If he brought this girl back, Tong Guan could gently let go of Xiao Yan's excellent handle? It would be over if he didn't use it until it was over. He would never give up easily, and would still be the Zhang Ben who settled the accounts with Xiao Yan in the future!
But I can't get out of this situation, I'm just a poor person who goes with the flow.
"Xiao Xuanzan was naturally angry, but he was justified... This girl should not be a princess from Liao... Xiao Xuanzan, but asked Xuan Shuai for a while to attribute the achievements to Xuan Shuai. The small gap between Xiao Xuanzan and Xuan Shuai naturally disappeared... I really can't take this girl with me to Xuan Shuai. Xiao Xuanzan sent more than a hundred cavalry to follow me closely, so I naturally couldn't do anything... Actually, it doesn't matter. Xuan Shuai is really trying to hold that girl in his palm, and it's better to just ask Zhao Xuanzan and the others to return it to Xiao Xuanzan... Xuan Shuai, it's not appropriate to do anything later, and we'll set off tomorrow morning?"
Tong Guan stood there without answering. Wang Bing looked up in surprise and saw Tong Guan's face turned green and his brows were frowning tightly, obviously thinking about something. Wang Bing was a little surprised. What else should I think about? Xiao Yan's biggest weakness was caught by Zhao Liangsi, so he could only bow his head. Now he went to receive the results quickly. He was in the middle of his life. All he could do was to try his best to protect Xiao Yan. Why did Tong Guan still look like he couldn't think of such good news?
Suddenly, Tong Guan fell and sighed: "The big thing is gone!"
Wang Bing was stunned: "What?"
Tong Guan was already completely angry, his face was extremely difficult to see, and he couldn't help but walk in his chapel: "Xiao Yan is a slowdown, this is a few days of stipulation for himself, and this is a way to send you away! He watched your whereabouts and prevented you from bringing back that bird princess. This handle was not in my hand, but Xiao Yan was already in his hand! He was going to take advantage of these days to deal with Zhao Liangsi and others and search everywhere. No matter whether he killed the bird princess or what, he would quickly cut off his biggest weakness! Xiao Yan was so angry that he was murderous!"
Wang Bing was extremely shocked and said, "How dare Xiao Yan? I sent Huanqing Army to protect Zhao Xuanzan and Guo Du. How dare he act like this unless Xiao Xuanzan does not gain a foothold in the Song Dynasty?"
Tong Guan could not control his emotions at all and shouted at Wang Bing: "As long as he finds a mountain that is tough enough, he will dare to kill him! He has decided to vote for the mountain behind the old and small crops, and share the achievements with them, but he has not waited for a moment! Guo Zhao is a surrendered minister, and he dares to take action if he is just accused of any crime. He is waiting for the old and small crops to arrive, witness for him and support him!"
At this moment, Tong Guan's head was also tilted, his old face flushed, as if crazy: "…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Tong Guan is a skilled person after all. If he and Xiao Yan had no gap before, Xiao Yan might have really come to him and make a deal with him. After all, he has such a strong cause and has used such a method to release all the news of his recovery of Yanjing, and no one can cover it up. The matter of a princess of the Liao Kingdom may be his life gate in the future, but at least in front of him, he will not put him to death. A subordinate who holds his life gate in the hands of his superiors may still be the superior and subordinate whom he wants the most.
However, there is already a gap between the two. As long as there is a conflict between the two, they will not cover each other with the worst speculations and add them to each other. So after Xiao Yan learned that Zhao Liangsi had taken action, he must have made a decision immediately. He will vote for the other party! With the other party as his support, he will first solve the troubles in front of him! What will happen in the future? Let’s talk about the future.
I hate myself, and I always think about how to control Xiao Yan again. But I don’t know that at least in this Yanyun war, I can only choose to cooperate with Xiao Yan instead of putting him in a position where I can pass it. I missed the opportunity in vain! Xiao Yan hesitated in Yanjing for a few days, just waiting for me to show kindness and discuss cooperation!
The more Wang Bing heard, the more frightened he became. Among the martial officials, he was considerate. If what Tong Guan said was true, then he would be fooled around in Xiao Yan's hands. He was easily sent to Xiao Yan, and he felt guilty, thinking about how to fight for his future and protecting Xiao Yan!
He took a deep breath and pulled Tong Guan away: "Shishuai Xuan, you have a chance to die! We set out immediately to see if we can arrive before Xiao Yan takes action! If we can get there, no matter whether it is soft or hard at that time, we will always save the situation......Shishuai Xuan just wanted to do this and thought too much that day. If we didn't break up with Xiao Yan before, and wouldn't look down on the Jurchens south as nothing, and wouldn't be able to squeeze out the old and young masters so far! In addition, we have always regarded this Xiao Xuanzan too low!"
After these words, Tong Guan finally woke up a little. He looked at Wang Bing calmly. At this time, Tong Guan's face showed an indescribable fatigue: "Master, I have not listened to your honest advice before......If I can save it this time, I will avoid the road in front of Xiao Yan. This guy has a bright future in the future!......... Even if I hand over Zhao Liangsi to him to relieve his hatred! Let's set off now! See if I still have a way out!"
~~~~~~~~~~~
In the snowy field under the night, more than a hundred riders were galloping on horseback.
Each knight held a torch in his hand. As the horse galloped, the continuous fire light rose and fell. The fire light shone on the snow field and reflected back, making every knight passing through it seem to be emitting a faint light.
Such a scene is really a bit surreal.
Surrounded by many knights holding torches, it was Lao Zhong and Yao Gu. In addition to Xiao Zhong who returned to the south of Baigou River, the two remaining giants of the Western Army were all rushing towards Xiao Yan’s place!
Yao Gu rode on the horse and looked at the old farmer's figure on the horse's back. He was full of admiration. The situation of the Western Army was already extremely embarrassed. Liu Yanqing was divided and everyone pulled out the fundamental land of Shaanxi. He went on an expedition to Yanyun and was restricted and excluded by Tong Guan. The old farmer seemed to have nothing to do, but in fact he had always firmly controlled the three armies of Qin and Feng Xihe in Jingyuan. After the battle, the Huan Qing army was almost wiped out. Tong Guan was also in panic all day long, but the three armies of Qin and Feng Xihe in Jingyuan still had no major losses and still existed as a whole.
These are all but just now. I never thought that Lao Zong was almost waiting for Xiao Yan to come over and give Fu Yan a unique achievement with the Western Army. By the way, he could also step down Tong Guan, Xuan Shuai, who had been riding on their heads.
You should know that Tong Guan was able to suppress the Western Army for twenty years in Shaanxi. In the future, it would not be so easy to lose Tong Guan, the commander of Zhao, who could suppress the Western Army. Who could break up the Western Army group in the court? All of these Western Army generals can be guaranteed for a hundred years in the future!
Thinking of now, Yao Gu didn't understand what Lao Zong did. Everything was just taking advantage of the situation and achieved such a person that was overjoyed. Lao Zong's husband is really unfathomable!
As for Xiao Yan who was going to meet, Yao Gu naturally admired him. The old clan even said that he would try his best to cooperate with Xiao Yan's explanation in the future. Yao Gu would never object to relying on each other with Xiao Yan in the future, and even absorb Xiao Yan into the Western Army group. But he still felt that Xiao Yan was just a blessing, and he made such a achievement by chance. But compared with the group formed by the Western Army over the past century, what is it?
But the old husband had such a solemn and serious expression. He ran over to support him regardless of his old and sick body. Now Xiao Yan is somewhat demanding of the old man, so he should be arrogant...... The old man respects Xiao Yan so much, which really makes people confused.
But Yao Gu has this benefit, no matter what he wants. As long as the old man makes a decision, he will never complain and die to the end.
I don’t know how long I walked in the snow, but I saw the old bird in front of me swaying, as if I was about to fall. Without waiting for the guard to follow, Yao Gu hurried over, held the old bird's body, and ordered loudly: "Stop, take a break! You may not be so anxious to see this Xiao Yan. Old bird's husband, you always have to take care of your own body... It's really not possible. Come slowly, I will be there and support Xiao Yan!"
The old generation shook his head slowly. The knights around him stopped at this time. No matter the people, they were all out of breath, sweating, and when they were blown by the cold wind at night, they felt cold all over.
What else did Lao Zong want to say? Yao Gu had already tried his hand in front of him, but he felt that the breath that Lao Zong vomited was cold. It seemed that there was no heat in his body. He was shocked and quickly turned over and dismounted. He hugged Lao Zong, who had already frozen his body with his own hands, and ordered loudly: "Make a fire and heat the ginseng soup you brought, and set up a place to shelter from the wind! Lao Zong, you are so unwilling to cherish your body. How can Xiao Yan accept you so seriously?"
The old bird was really unable to hold on and wanted to object, but he had no strength. He hugged Yao Gu and watched the guards hurrying to chop firewood, raise a bonfire, and set up a tent. However, he didn't go in for a while to rest. Instead, he walked slowly with Yao Gu's support, opening up the frozen qi and blood movement.
"Yao Gu, I'm about to die..."
As the fire swayed, the old man slowly said this sentence.
The martial artist was so bloody on his head, and he was never afraid of talking about life and death. However, no one dared to mention the words "old, sickness and death" as the core old army. Yao Gu heard it and immediately took a breath of air: "Old man, we are still counting on you for a long time! How could we be so discouraged?"
The old generation looked at the shaking fire, and also the guards who grew up and entered the army, who became seven-foot men of Angzang, slowly shook their heads: "I have a good idea in my own body. I am so old, I have not awakened this little bit of spiritual life, but I have lived in vain for all my life... Not to mention these gossips, I have been thinking these days that I have been trying hard to preserve the Western Army. What is the Western Army now?"
Before Yao Gu could speak, Lao Zhong said slowly, as if these words had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Take the various roads in Shaanxi as their foundation, and fight against the Western thieves, and work hard. Once there is something wrong in other parts of the country, they will be reluctant to come out, and even go against the commander. What they think is how to preserve their strength and find mountains in the court, so that everyone can transfer back to the various roads in Shaanxi safely...... The soldiers in the army are used to kill the enemy. Fuyan's war is a hundred years of the Song Dynasty.
I wish that we are so embarrassed to be a powerful army! How can such a Western Army not be afraid of the court, to be divided, to disintegrate, to suppress, to fear another vassal state, to be ruled out, to be ruled out, to be ruled out, to be ruled out, to be ruled out, to be ruled out, to be treated like this by Tong Xuan....... When the Western Army was in full swing, it was a big deal that the Western Army had lost hundreds of thousands of troops and fought repeatedly. Why did no one come to divide, to disintegrate, to suppress, to instead use the power of the country to support the Western Army until we were brought into this way?"
Yao Gu stood there in a daze, his heart was in a mess. A personal guard had already been warmed up and the ginseng soup carried in the water bag was poured into a silver cup and sent it to Lao Zong. Lao Zong took it and took a sip in his hand. Looking at Yao Gu's appearance of pretending not to hear his words just now, he smiled and said: "...... I'm afraid you didn't listen, but I don't have too many days to say these words...... If the Western Army couldn't fight
, How long can it last? Now is not the time for peace and stability in the country, the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, but the stronger Jurchens rose again! This time, the Jurchens tried to go south, Xiao Yan beat them back head-on, and they fought well! Maybe they would buy a few years of peace! But what about the future? When our Western Army was to fight against the Jurchens in this Yanyun land in the future? If our Western Army was still like in this war against Yan, what would it be like?"
Lao Zong thought deeply and almost understood the final outcome of the Western Army in history. The last field group of the Song Dynasty was deeply involved in the party struggles four years later, and the combat effectiveness was greatly damaged. During the first large-scale advance of the Jurchens, the Western Army had almost no ability to resist. During the second Jurchens' journey southward defeat of the Northern Song Dynasty, Xiao Zong led the Western Army as the backbone to piece together more than 100,000 reinforcements to rescue Taiyuan, but was defeated by Yin Keshu with only tens of thousands of cavalry, and Xiao Zong died!
Although Yao Gu later rebuilt the Western Army in Shaanxi, this army, as a field group that the Song Dynasty had been supporting for a hundred years, could not slightly change the fate of the Song Dynasty's final destruction! At this time, Xuanhe still had the mighty and powerful generals of the Western Army in the fourth year, and few had good results.
The old race is now struggling to support her old body, but is still considering the future of the Western Army!
Yao Gu still remained silent. The old man could only sigh: "……………… So I have to try my best to protect Xiao Yan. Even if he did something ridiculous this time, I will support him with all my strength! Look at the Shengjie Army, the Baiye Army, the Shenwu Eternal Victory Army, and a few mixed military horses have made a contribution under his hands! Yao Zhengfu, I told you to be close to Xiao Yan in the future, hoping that this son can lead the Western Army to the battlefield in the future. This is the real way for our Western Army to be self-improvement in the future!"
Tonight, Lao Zong vomited all his heart for some reason. Although he was extremely tired, he felt much more happy when he said it. Looking at Yao Gu, he still looked silent and knew that Yao Zhengfu didn't agree with it, but he couldn't speak up and refute it.
This is also a matter of no way. There are so many things that Lao Zong only had a vague feeling in his heart. He spoke tonight when he was in a state of excitement. Of course, he didn't expect them to understand it now. Xiao Yan is far from a sufficient amount of existence than the deeply rooted Western Army group......
The old bird could only smile at the end: "What do you do to say so much, just pretend that you are confused...... Xuan Shuai's front and end have not yet ended, so we will talk about the future! I have had enough rest, so let's go now?"
Yao Gu just asked Lao Zong not to say these inexplicable words, which made people feel messy when they listened. He couldn't figure out anything. He helped Lao Zong turn over the horse. The guards put out the bonfire that had just risen, removed the tent, and followed closely. A line of torches continued to jump in the direction where Xiao Yan was.
Lao Zhong vomited lou's thoughts on this night, and he never said a word in the future. In the next few years, when the torrent of Jurchens in the north really poured down, Yao Gu always thought of it as an unreal dream when he remembered tonight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A delicate but determined cry seemed to sound from the depths of the dream and spread to the bottom of my heart.
Xiao Yan suddenly woke up from his dream and said in a lost voice: "Little mute!"
Outside the tabernacle, Zhang Xian, who had been waiting loyally, stepped in and said, "Xuanzan, what's the matter?"
Xiao Yan felt that his clothes were covered with cold sweat, so he calmed down and shook his head: "It's nothing, bring the clothes and add a thick cloak. I can't sleep anymore...... Go out for a walk."
Zhang Xian wanted to persuade Xiao Yan to rest, but he also knew that Xiao Yan was very focused and had just fallen asleep for a few hours, which was not easy. Without saying a word, he lit up the lights in the tent, waiting for Xiao Yan to put on his clothes and follow him out of the curtain.
Everything around is quiet. The lights in the camp shine on the white ice surface of the Glutinous River not far away, and it is bright and shining.
Xiao Yan suddenly turned around and smiled at Zhang Xianxian: "Are you afraid to go against Shuai Xuan with me?"
Zhang Xian smiled: "We were just the mud legs that we just joined the army that day. Now we have achieved something like a dream. Following Xuan Zan, I have never thought about what Xuan Shuai is and how powerful he is."
Xiao Yan also laughed and asked again: "Yan Yun is in trouble. Are you willing to lead the troops? Or follow me back to Bianliang? I'm a big trouble. I'll cause a lot of things to come out wherever I go. Leave me and fight slowly in the Song army. I may not have a chance to make a fortune, and I may not have to be with me."
Zhang Xian scratched his head: "It is fake to say that you follow Xuanzan to go back to Bianliang without guilt. It is nothing great to fight. Everyone fights with their lives. But after the battle is over, there are so many birds! There are so many noble people back to Bianliang, and I don't know how much care you have to use. It is a place of wealth and honor, so we naturally feel guilty... But following Xuanzan, we always have fun. We also know that we are from a low-class background. Now, even though we are leading a lot of people, aren't we looking at Xuanzan's face? If we stay in the army and are rolled down, it will not taste very good. It's better to be a family general with Xuanzan..."
He looked at Xiao Yan: "Niu Gao, the man Niu, Tang Huai, the honest man, is Brother Yue. We discussed it privately. All of them meant. In this war, there are so many generals, and no one is worthy of our efforts! It's a pity that there is no one Wang Gui missing now..."
Xiao Yan smiled and patted Zhang Xian on the shoulder: "Wang Gui, I will definitely save you. Then we, the little mute, will be like in Zhuozhou that day, and will make a fuss about returning to Bianliang...... Let me go where can you guys go!"
When Xiao Yan came to the little mute, he naturally remembered the scene when he was in Zhuozhou that day. Everyone was in a small courtyard and was monitored by Yaoshi Guo. Although they were worried, they felt a sense of peace and joy when they thought about it. In such a chaotic time, the people they care about were by their side and depended on each other for their lives, which was the greatest blessing...... I have lost all the people I cared about in that era when I came, and I can only hold on to everything in this era!
In this picture, there seems to be a tall figure. He rushed into the yard to find trouble for himself, but poured a basin of water on his body. It was so vivid and fragrant. The little mute leaned in and looked like he tried his best to endure the smile on his face...
Xiao Yan waved his head hard and threw the tall figure behind his head. Anyway, he would have no chance of any interaction with her in the future. Now he just wants to embrace the arms and feel a little warmth in this world, the little mute!
Mute, where are you now? If you have any injuries, I will not hesitate to clean up all the people involved, even Tong Guan is no exception!
But now, I can only wait quietly for the final result. Everything in front of me has been arranged long ago, and I will wait for the last one to take action. As long as there is no major accident, I will not be able to delay my stay in Yanyun Land. The only suspense is nothing more than what identity I have returned to Bianliang.
Also, how should I go on the path that I am loyal to in Bianliang, the Song Dynasty? In the foreseeable future, can I become the mainstay that prevents the sky from falling?
Since I have chosen this path, I have no room for retreat in the middle.
Zhao Liangsi's sinister little moves forced himself to make a decision. He devoted himself to the future party struggles of the Song Dynasty. He also followed a famous minister. He may not be optimistic about his future reputation. He was in Yanyun and had worked hard for several years before he could make a struggle, but no one knew whether he would be defeated in the city of Bianliang!
To be continued...
