Xiao Yan asked softly, and every word was very important.

The Western Army has long become an unbreakable quasi-vassal group with its biggest goal for its own survival and development. This is an undeniable fact, otherwise the court would not have used so much effort to guard against the Western Army.[.]

The Western Army must maintain its support, and the generals and sects of the Western Army must maintain wealth and prosperity. The original foundation was that the Western Xia was rampant, and the court could not touch the interests of the Western Army no matter what. Now this is gone at all, so the Western Army must not look for another way.

The Western Army was transferred out for three years and fought fiercely in Yan land in Jiangnan, and was greatly injured in vitality. What I want to do most now is to return to my hometown and cultivate vitality. The Western Army, which had been rubbed by Tong Guan and others, were then glued together. According to the normal development path, the Western Army had no chance. In real history, after the disgraceful battle against Yan, only one of the Western Army had to return to Shaanxi, and a large number of horses remained in either Hedong or Hebei. After being divided by the court, the morale of the Western Army plummeted, and each of them had no sufficient strength. After the Jurchens went south, except for Wang Bing who was still in Taiyuan, the rest of the Western Army, except for Wang Bing, who had been defending hard in Taiyuan, all the others were defeated. They returned to Shaanxi, which had not finished licking the wounds before they had finished licking their wounds, and the Western Army was led to serve the king. As a result, they were wiped out when they aided Taiyuan.

But now, the situation is different. The court's Dukes are staring at Xiao Yan and the Shenwu army. After all, one is closest, and the second is Xiao Yan, it is really not reassuring. The third is the reputation of the Shenwu army, the Shenwu army has surpassed the Western army for a while. Of course, the court's Dukes must first knock down the acorn.

That is why the Shenwu Changsheng Army was in Hedong, Huanqing Army was in Hebei, and almost all the Western Army returned to Shaanxi. The Western Army all felt relieved and called for the blessing of heaven. The reason was that Xiao Yan suddenly appeared, and he became an existence that attracted all the fear and hatred of the emperor in the court!

For the future plan of the Western Army, we must maintain Xiao Yan, an existence that is very hatred, so that the Western Army will have enough time to lick the wounds and nourish the vitality. Until we can maintain the status of the Western Army generals and maintain their privileged existence in the Shaanxi Circle. Of course, the Western Army generals and sects have no intention of separatist rule, but in order to safeguard the interests of the group, they can indeed do anything to protect the interests of the group.

Although the Western Army can basically confirm that most of the main forces have returned to Shaanxi, they also know that once something happens in the north, the court will still pull the Western Army out. This time, when returning to Shaanxi, he will not be able to raise this vitality in less than 50,000 years. You must know that only half of the Western Army athletes who were more than 150,000 when they were in the army could return home! The morale of the army was extremely low, and it was easy to pull it out, and even the combat power level when attacking Yan was unable to be maintained. The newly emerging Jurchen Tatars in the north were said to be far above the Liao people!

The public in the court were selfish, and the Huanqing Army and the Shenwu Changsheng Army were placed in an inappropriate position. The scattered Huanqing Army took on the heavy responsibility of defense in Yandi and even Hebei. Even though Wang Bing and Ma Kuo were both good generals, the Hebei military town, which was established by a mere six or seven thousand people, was extremely weak for a considerable period of time.

If the Huanqing Army collapsed, the Western Army would have to come to rescue the emperor. What the Western Army thought was that they could stay in Shaanxi as long as possible, and if they came to the north, they would be mixed.

The key point is to strengthen Xiao Yan's strength, so that Xiao Yan and Shenwu's ever-winning army can be enough to protect the imperial court to the north, so that the Western Army will no longer move out of Shaanxi. Moreover, Xiao Yan's existence also reduced the pressure for the Western Army. The more stable Xiao Yan was in front, the more stable the Western Army would live a life hiding behind him.

The old farmer fell ill and was old, so he might not be able to survive this time. Without the old farmer, the Western Army needed more time to buffer. The old farmer was sick and planned for the future of the Western Army, so he sent Yang Keshi to discuss with Xiao Yan closely. In fact, there were not many things to discuss, but Xiao Yan and the Shenwu Changsheng Army needed to establish a foothold and what support the Western Army needed, except those who were ruthless, the Western Army would give it to them!

The court was deliberately trying to prevent these warlike armies of the Song Dynasty, those military officials who could lead the army to fight, and those who were deeply grateful to Xiao Yan. How could these military horses, these military officials, and even Xiao Yan not take any means to deal with the court?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Xiao Yan asked this question, and Yang Keshi understood that although he suddenly came, the person in front of him seemed to be calmer and his eyes were sharper, and his mind was sharper, and he had already figured out his purpose clearly!

At this moment, Yang Keshi could only smile bitterly, open his heart, say whatever he wants, and no longer hide it: "The old master came in a dangerous condition this time. He could have tried his best to support it before, but now he seems to be embarrassed even if he sees things... This time, the Western Army has been in a strange way. The old master tried his best to support everything in the Western Army. He almost ran out of energy... Someone came here this time, all the meaning of the old master. Someone just said the old master's words to Xiao Xianmo and just passed it all...

"When the old general said that he had never expected that Xianmo would actually reach the government's position by financial management, and had already gained a foothold in Bianliang. In the future, Xianmo's means are indefinite. It is precisely because of Xianmo that the changes in the Shenwu Changsheng Army in Hedong and the Huanqing Army in Hebei Yan land occurred, and the Western Army could eventually return to the Shaanxi routes.

Shenwu Changsheng Army stationed Hedong, with Han and Yue loyalty and bravery, Xianmo was supported by the North Korea. He was on the east side of the Hedong River, and there would be no deep thoughts in the future. However, Huanqing Army left Yan land in Hebei, but it was very worthwhile! The remaining soldiers of Huanqing Army were only 6,000 or 7,000, and were defeated by the stacking of the Sutra. With this as the backbone, even if the king had the means to expand his horse, it would be difficult to support the defense of such a vital place. If the Jurchens did not go south within a few years, once they went south, the Jurchen cavalry would almost rush past the Yan land in Hebei! At that time, the time was at that time.

The court must be transferred to the Western Army and serve the king again. With the current situation of the Western Army, it will be difficult to recover its vitality within five years. Once the "" is transferred out, it will probably end with a defeat. In the past few years, we can only count on Xiao Xianmo and the Shenwu Changsheng Army as the backbone, and support it for a while. If we can support the Western Army's vitality, we will still have a fight with the Jurchen Iron Cavalry to win the Hebei route. In this way, the success of the captives will be quick and the destruction will suddenly occur. As long as we last for these few years, the Song Dynasty will be free of worries within a hundred years!"

When Xiao Yan heard Yang Keshi reposting Lao Zong's words, he couldn't help but feel relieved. Although Yang Keshi said this fluently, he obviously didn't know how many times he had recited it secretly. I was afraid that it would still be difficult to understand Lao Zong's deep meaning.

In the eyes of Yang Keshi and other Western Army generals, Lao Zang's focus on protecting the Western Army and trying to help the Western Army recover more time. However, Xiao Yan had a deep conversation with Lao Zang when he left Yan. He knew that this old general had already jumped out of the circle of the Western Army group when he was not much in the day, and he really thought about how to eliminate the Jurchens' troubles of going south in the future!

It was truly obvious that the Jurchens were fierce, and the Song Dynasty was already full of holes and vulnerable people. There were very few people in the court. The old race was the first among them. When the Huanqing Army left Yandi in Hebei and the Shenwu Ever-winning Army left Hedong, the situation where the Shenwu Ever-winning Army was no longer easier, what he hoped was that Xiao Yan and the Shenwu Ever-winning Army could support the situation for a few more years. Wait until the Western Army recovered its vitality, and there was still a chance to win the final war with the Jurchens, and then it could turn the tide!

What the Western Generals heard from these words was that the generals who returned to Shaanxi to nourish their vitality, while what Xiao Yan heard from the words was that the army that could be fought in the Song Dynasty in the future was to fight the Jurchens!

At this time, Xiao Yan is probably the only one who can understand Lao Zong's intentions. The generals of the Western Army were afraid that they would regard Lao Zong's last few words as scenes, even if it was Lao Zong's younger brother Zhong Shizhong.

However, Xiao Yan didn't need to say this. He just listened silently and smiled bitterly: "The Shenwu Ever Victory Army left the town and was in Hedong, which seems to be a foregone conclusion. The court is also very afraid of Xiao's influence in the Shenwu Ever Victory Army. With Xiao and Shenwu Ever Victory Army, how can a few more years be supported? So that the Song Dynasty and the Western Army can have time to arrange it calmly? I am afraid that Xiao will be helpless in all of these..."

To be honest, the transfer of the Shenwu Changsheng Army to Hedong out of the town was indeed a clever way to break the connection between Xiao Yan and the Shenwu Changsheng Army. In the future, Xiao Yan also felt that it was in the uncertain world. He also repeatedly thought about what means to use, but he was not particularly sure. The loyalty of his subordinates was not unconditional. He had to deal with so many opponents from Bianliang. What methods could he use to control the Shenwu Changsheng Army in his hands? Now is the thing that Xiao Yan was worried about. When he said this, his face was bitter, and seven percent true.

Yang Keshi looked at Xiao Yan and his expression became serious. He silently recited what Lao Zong said several times, and felt heavy in his heart. These words were really wrong as the ministers said. Lao Zong was a very cautious person all his life. How could he propose such a plan when there were not many days? Could it be that just to protect the Western Army, he could take all kinds of measures without hesitation?

However, Yang Keshi's loyalty to the old clan was indeed nothing to say. As long as the old clan did not lead him to rebel, Yang Keshi would not go against the old clan's will, and would only follow his orders. And now it seems that this is also the only way to protect the Western Army and delay time to restore his vitality. Yang Keshi, in the Western Army and his colleagues, all took root here. Protecting the Western Army is to protect all their interests. He really can't make it possible to let him give up the interests of the Western Army's general group that is in a mixed manner!

He took a deep breath, his voice was already low and heavy, and finally he said the old peddler's dangerous plan: "One army outside, only by constantly maintaining the special wars will the heart will be much simpler. He will not think too much about things. He will be loyal to Xianmo and can maintain it more... If the war experienced by this army and horse was dominated by Xianmo and always controlled by Xianmo. How could the Shenwu Ever Victory Army be out of Xianmo's palm? This war was carried out in Hedong. To be honest, let's go back to the Song Dynasty. The court was afraid that the Shenwu Ever Victory Army would be weaker day by day, as in the story of our Western Army. And if Xianmo could maintain continuous support for the Shenwu Ever Victory Army, how could the Shenwu Ever Victory Army not always use it for Xianmo?

"With Xianmo's great talent and Shenwu's ever-winning army is strong. The more we go through the war, I'm afraid that the sharpening will become more sharp. The more this happens to Shenwu's ever-winning army, the more the court's attention will be focused on Xianmo and Shenwu's ever-winning army. Our Western Army has enough time to nourish our vitality in order to prepare for the future... This is the best of both worlds!"

Xiao Yan's voice also became low and heavy, and he asked softly: "...What kind of war can always be under my dominance and control?"

At this moment, Yang Keshi's eyes flashed, as if he was ready to get up and leave and never talk about this topic again. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Emperor of Tianzuo of Liao, Yelu Yanxi, was captured in the Yingzhou army last month and sent Huanglong. The remaining Liao people were scattered in the Yunnei prefectures. Once there was enough name to surrender and rebel, he could fight with the Jurchen army and horses north of the old Great Wall in Hedong for a while. The Shenwu Ever Victory Army left to settle Hedong, and the old Great Wall could be successively released, and the remaining Liao people would be entangled with the Jurchen army in the name of the remaining Liao people. The remaining Liao people could strengthen the power of the Shenwu Ever Victory Army, and the tribes in the Yunnei prefectures could be recruited as wings, and good horses and strong soldiers were all located. Relying on Hedong behind, it could attract the Jurchens' attention... This is what this war means."

Xiao Yan suddenly stood up, using his hands to increase his forehead, but his face turned pale.

I really underestimated the people of the world, but the old race actually came up with such an idea! Going north from the Hedong Great Wall, the Yunnei states were the places where the Great Liao Empire finally resisted the remnants of the Jurchens. The Yunnei states had many tribes, either used by Liao or depended on the Jurchens, and fought endlessly. Yelu Yanxi's army was destroyed, and the remnants of the Liao people and the tribes that depended on the Liao people might not surrender completely. As long as there is a person with enough name to recruit them, you can still fight against the Liao people here!

The Shenwu Ever Victory Army left Hedong, entered and exited the Old Great Wall, and took turns to participate in this melee. One can use war to sharpen the Shenwu Ever Victory Army to become more sharp. The other can recruit surrenders and rebels to strengthen the Shenwu Ever Victory Army. This war is destined to be chaotic and a small-scale continuous battle. It is also in the name of the remaining Liao people. The emperor is far away and has a good explanation to the court. The most likely reaction of the imperial court is to ignore it and not give the Shenwu Ever Victory Army at all times, waiting for the military horse to be weakened to the point where the imperial court can control it as it pleases. Xiao Yan recruits so much wealth, as well as several bases such as Dongchuanwa, Tanzhou, and only he can take over the Shenwu Ever Victory Army. He always controls the Shenwu Ever Victory Army in his own hands.

The most poisonous point is not this, the most poisonous point is that the one with enough noun to recruit surrender and rebel! Xiao Yan has the one with enough noun in his hand. The old generation was involved in this tide, and finally died Guo Yaoshi Zhao Liangsi and the Queen Xiao Puxian of Liao. This person is the direct bloodline of Yelu Yanxi, the little mute, Yelu Yuliyan! He used the little mute to go out to town the Yunnei prefectures to attract the remnants of the Lan Liao people in exile. The Shenwu Changsheng Army thought that he had been under the leadership of Xiao Yan and under his control.

With the support of the Shenwu Ever Victory Army, how can the Shenwu Ever Victory Army escape from Xiao Yan's control?

For the Shenwu Ever Victory Army, this war was something they were willing to accept. The army and horse were still strong. The leading generals had all seen wars with the Jurchens. They were just a little resentful when they were transferred to Hedong for free.

Fighting a small-scale war with the Jurchen army and horses will not only hone the army and expand its strength. As long as Xiao Yan gains a stable foothold in the court, his military achievements will always be reimbursed. The new generation and strong army are about to fight for his position in the Song Dynasty through war.

For the Western Army, this war was something they liked. The stronger the Shenwu Ever Victory Army, the stronger the control of Xiao Yan. The more the court's attention was focused on Xiao Yan. With such a place, the less suppression and division it would be. Moreover, the stronger Shenwu Ever Victory Army attracted the attention of the Jurchens in Hedong, and the less pressure the weaker Huanqing Army in Hebei was under. The easier the situation was to maintain, the more stable the Western Army could stay in the Shaanxi roads. There was no need to move east and west for the court, and finally collapse.

The older the old, the deeper the heat, and at this moment, it is already perfect. Well, the dangers and wonders of this strategy are all in all aspects. People can only be amazed. If this old species is in troubled times, it is also a hero who can compete for the world!

Needless to say, this strategy has a great benefit to Xiao Yan, and it is also extremely beneficial to the Western Army. It is even quite helpful to the stability of the northern defense line of the Song Dynasty. The only harm seems to be the court's control over the Western Army's Shenwu Eternal Victory Army. But if the officials and officials of the Song Dynasty and the officials of the Song Dynasty truly cherish the only combat power of the Song Dynasty, take good care of it, carefully care, and use it seriously. Instead of blindly guarding against suppressing and differentiating, and even taking the northern defense line that concerns the fate of the Song Dynasty as if it were casual, how could the old generation come up with such a strange strategy?

This strange strategy suddenly hit Xiao Yan's heart. But his face was still ashen, not for the others. It was just the little mute Yelu Yuliyan! The old man made a decision and actually hit the lonely little mute, and he wanted to throw this orphan into the forefront of the storm! How could Xiao Yan accept it for a while, and how would he be willing to accept it?

Xiao Yan also understood Lao Zong's lonely heart and Lao Zong also knew that Xiao Yan's care for the little mute. However, he still came up with this strategy because Lao Zong did not have confidence in the future fight with the Jurchens. Only they would find a way to maintain the lifeline of the Song Dynasty. When the Jurchens were dragging south, they expanded the strength of the Shenwu Changsheng Army and gave the Western Army enough time to nourish their vitality. There is still a glimmer of hope for the decisive battle in the future. Song Shi returned to fight, and the generals of the Zhong family had been passed on for a hundred years. Lao Zong had done his best to the last moment for the Song Dynasty!

When Yang Keshi saw Xiao Yan's face turned pale and he was also silent.

As a descendant of the Song Dynasty, he had such a proposition behind his back, and he was tempted by the court. He was frightened and uneasy in his heart. If it were not for the protection of the Western Army, if it were not for the entrusted by the old genocide who was dying, he would not come here to convey this sentence. At this moment, what Yang Keshi most hoped was that Xiao Yan would repel him and refuse to adopt this strategy. What the Western Army will do in the future is to be fate, and he will pull out the broken Western Army to fight the Jurchens with blood. It is just a matter of dying. He doesn't have to suffer such torture here!

But Xiao Yan was there for a long time and never spoke.

He had no more clever plan than the old generation, and he had taken care of all aspects. The interests of the Western Army, the interests of the Shenwu Ever Victory Army, the interests of his Xiao Yan, and even the long-term interests of the Song Dynasty court. The price he paid was nothing more than to let the little mute take risks. Reason told Xiao Yan that he should accept all this, but he could not do it anyway.

Isn’t the little mute suffering enough? When I came to this era, I had already had a lot of love for women. The only thing that could comfort my conscience was to take care of the little mute, and I could do everything for the safety of the little mute. In fact, deep down, it was also a transference effect. When I came to this era, because of my ambition, I no longer knew how many people had sacrificed. I no longer knew how many things were covered with blood in my hands. Everyone in Yandi had already killed a mountain of corpses and blood because of myself. It seemed that I was protecting the last part that was still like a human.

To make this decision, we must give up the last bit of warmth in our hearts. From then on, we will walk on the path of being cold and persevering without hesitation, and sacrifice anyone for the final goal!

My goal is to protect this civilization and protect everyone in the Song Dynasty in this era... For this goal, can we sacrifice all those who should be sacrificed without any scruples?

………Why should I be so pretentious? When the people in Yan died in chaos, I was already on this road. What are you talking about now?

Male career... Male career. The male career in this era is nothing more than the word blood.

Xiao Yan's face gradually paled, and in the end he seemed a little transparent. He turned around and nodded slightly to Yang Keshi, who was also silent: "The Taiwei cannot stay here for a long time. The old master's intention is clear. But if you make a decision, you will definitely know that Lao Zhuang and Brother Yang as soon as possible. I will arrange someone to escort the Taiwei back. Our two families must keep it at any time at this moment...

That's it, I'm really slow to treat the Grand Marshal."

Yang Keshi didn't want to delay here for a moment, so he stood up and held his fist and bowed: "Since that's the case, please place Xianmo. I'm not too arrogant when I return to the army. We are just waiting for Xianmo to make a decision."

Xiao Yan hurriedly replied, walked out of the room without looking back, and his body was unstable at the door, and he staggered for a moment. Yang Keshi also stood aside, trying his best to suppress his heart's ups and downs.

Old Master, why are you doing this? Is it right or wrong to make such a decision?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The footsteps were heard, and several guards of the raccoon hats guarded Xiao Yan and went straight into the courtyard of the other courtyard. They had been waiting at the door for a long time. They lived in Bianliang for these days. The unlucky Facebook scholar who was originally in Dongchuanwa was now fat and his expression was very different from before.

Xiao Yan showed his ability to turn his hands into a cloud of hands and make the rain in Bianliang, which made Zuo Zaizhi, a conceited scholar in the North, and had to admire him secretly. Once he admired him, his mind would become secretly aroused. Xiao Yan also had no doubts about using people. The financial plan he had now mastered was so large that it was amazing. The full power of the storage and distribution of points and calculations was given to Zuo Zaizhi. Zuo Zaizhi was depressed for half his life, and once he was valued, he would burst out with considerable abilities.

Xiao Yan's financial affairs are both large and the projects are very complicated, and the relationships are quite complicated. A single market is the official family, and each company distributes dividends, Xiao Yan's income, and the bonds issued by these various income guarantees, and how to offset the interest, which is open and secret. It is mixed up with a bunch of people who can sort it out clearly. Zuo Zaituo has accumulated a lot of money and has not been happy at all. Knowing that Xiao Yan has such talented people, they all amazed at how Xiao Yan discovered such talent.

At this time, Zuo Zaozhi smiled and greeted Xiao Yan with a bow: "Brother Xianmo has paid the account details of the two places in Dongchuanwa, Tanzhou in the past six months, and there is no big mistake. The post bar Song Shiguiba hand-made, and the profit income is 67,897. Part of it is cash and part of it is a discount on grain. Please show that if these profit income is sent here or how to deal with it."

Xiao Yan's expression was still as calm as usual, but there was a little confusion between his eyebrows. Most people couldn't tell the difference at all. Zuo Liaozhi was full of money and affairs, but he didn't notice it at all.

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and waved his hand and said, "There is no need to send it all. Most of them stayed in Dongchuanwa for operation. Just ask them to pay 5,000 guan to Bianliang, and they will completely collect themselves and become lazy and contemptuous.

It’s not the reason to fulfill subordinates… I just told Wang Gui like this.”

Zuo Zao replied, to be honest, Xiao Yan never took the tens of thousands of dollars of profit seriously. The debt issuing trend that has been rolled out from Concubine Yisu has become one of the hottest topics in Bianliang these days. How many people are holding a large sum of money to send to him. Before Wang Gui and Yang Keshi came, he accompanied several heads of the Bianliang family to golf and discuss business. Why did he have to worry about making a golf? One reason was that he thought that this way of talking about business was high-end and grand enough, and the other was that he decided to follow the path of lucky ministers. How could he attract the attention of the official family if he didn't make some new things? It attracted the official family to come to travel to the eighteen holes without intervening. This was the supreme way to travel through the guests and be favored officials...
