Chapter 38 Military Order (3)
Chapter 38 Military Order (III)
The cry of Tong Guan's personal orders still lingered in the sound of urging orders. Xiao Yan had already strode to the hall. Ma Kuo was at the stairs and had not followed in. He just pressed his sword to look at Xiao Yan's back.
The first thing that caught Xiao Yan's eyes were the several cases in the hall that were in the shape of a font. Tong Guan was in the upper head, and there were figures with brocade clothes and jade belts all over the place. All his eyes were cast. The old man sitting opposite Tong Guan had white beards and eyebrows, and his waist could not be straightened. However, the half-open eyes were cast on his face, which was as substantial as it was.
In the hall, you can only hear your own footsteps, and the rest is silent for a moment.
This old man with white beards is Zhong Shidao...... The other few people are afraid that they are the commanders of various Western Army lines. Yao Gu and Liu Yanqing are added to Zhong Shidao? He seems to be the one who is a dead eunuch and treacherous minister. Now he is afraid that they will have more hostility towards him, right?
Hi………… Even if you didn’t suddenly appear, you still can’t beat Tong Guan, the dead eunuch… Besides, in this historical Northern Expedition, the performance of these old generals is really not too glorious……
But I have to get involved in the battle between Tong Guan and these Western Army husbands?
Xiao Yan walked into the festival, and the one who occupied the most part of his mood was actually a little helpless.
Forget it, I've been here to this point, just go down with a bit of an hour... Otherwise, my struggles before would have become a joke? Today's task is to perform this scene well...
Tong Guan's voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Tong Guan had already stood up from behind several cases, giving Xiao Yan a lot of face. Seeing Tong Guan get up, the Western Army's grandfathers who had just sat down also stood up one after another. Even Master Zhong got up with great effort and trembling.
"Xiao Xuanzan, these are the couple of the Western Army's husbands, the old couple, the little couple, the little couple, the Yao couple, and the Liu couple. They are all led soldiers, and they live and die together in the battlefield in Yan. There is not so much red tape. When you see a polite gift, you will be all in it... Everyone, this is the doctor of the Left Commander of the Ministry of War of the Song Dynasty. The Xuanmao Mansion Praises Xiao Yan! They are from the north and come to Song Dynasty. When our army attacks the north, he also ordered the army to go on a mission to the Changsheng Army and return to the camp by thousands of deaths. He is also a first-class good man!"
Tong Guan gave the order and said that he had taken his rice master ten thousand yuan. How dare Xiao Yan be negligent? He hurriedly bowed deeply: "See you guys! In front of you guys, how can you have room for Xuan to praise the emperor..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Yanqing had already come over and helped him up. He smiled and only looked at Xiao Yan: "Good men are good men. We are rolling in the crowd of dead people, and we speak straightforwardly. If you don't admire these people, who else can admire? Xiao Xuanzan, we should have a good drink when we have time!"
You Liu Yanqing is straightforward? Xiao Yan just smiled at the short and strong man in his fifties in front of him. Liu Yanqing lowered his head half a head lower than him, raised his face and looked straight. Xiao Yan had to bow to cooperate with him. It seemed as strange as he seemed.
Liu Yanqing cooperated with Tong Guan in history to finally split the Western Army. He also crossed Zhong Shidao to become the commander of the Western Army for a while, causing the old army to die in the second year. The last large army with combat effectiveness in the Northern Song Dynasty was tortured to death. The Jurchens went south and did not play any role in resistance. Zhong Shizhong and Yao Gu led the last Jinghua to be defeated and died while aiding Taiyuan. Later, the ashes collected by the Wu brothers were no longer the simple and brave Western army that dared to fight and defended the western border of the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years...
But now everyone is barely considered a person like Tong Guan, a dead eunuch. Xiao Yan won’t even say the words in his stomach even if he beats him to death. Just when the two of them were pulling and tugging, the scene was a bit awkward. Zhong Shidao had already spoken softly: “Xiao Xuanzan?”
Taking advantage of this great opportunity, Xiao Yan quickly got rid of Liu Yanqing's big hands. Goosebumps just now were getting fucked! He turned to the old Master Zong, who looked like an old man, saluted with his hands: "Old Master Zong, I wonder if you have any questions about the senior official?"
Zhong Shidao's tone was cold, as if every word was asked casually: "Xiao Xuanzan, the matter of praising merits is about to come after the war, and military information is still important now...... The Northern Expedition Army is now seriously short of money, and the military funds are missing a lot, and the spirit has been slightly frustrated. There is no need to hide this from others. You have to go north again, cross the Baigou River, and go forward with your back. This is a big deal! If you are not careful, you will be driven into the Baigou River!...... I have only a few questions, but I wonder if Xiao Xuanzan can answer?"
Xiao Yan glanced at Tong Guan. At this time, Tong Guan was just standing quietly behind the scenes, looking at Master Zhong inquiries with concern, as if he was also concerned about this big issue. His demeanor seemed to be both modest and solemn.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Xiao Yan took a deep breath and crossed his hands and said, "The old husband has asked for advice, but he dares not report it to the truth?"
"If the ever-winning army, as the book says, will there be tens of thousands of victorious soldiers?"
Xiao Yan was stunned when he heard this, looked down and thought for a while, and finally smiled bitterly: "Ten Thousands of People are Not Enough."
Yao Gu next to him let out a loud low smile. Tong Guan looked at him without saying a word.
"Can these ten thousand people be determined? The Eternal Victory Army was made up of eight battalions of resentful troops. Guo Yaoshi only led one battalion at the beginning, but now he has been besieging the Eternal Victory Army for only one year. Maybe Guo Yaoshi is like a hand-in-hand man? "
Xiao Yan didn't think too much about this. The scene of Guo Dalang and Zhao Heshou passing on the maids around Guo Yaoshi's side to ask for news came to mind again. In history, Guo Yaoshi successfully surrendered with the entire army... But for some reason, in his heart, there was a trace of worry circling in it.
This time, Xiao Yan's answer was three points of sincerity, not a performance: "…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Zhong Shidao was still affectionate and cold, and just asked: "Is the Changsheng Army's armor and staff very good? Are there enough food and grass? Is Zhuozhou City strong? Can it be supported by the army? The most important thing is just one thing. Now the Xiongzhou front line returns, Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan have led their troops north. Can Xiao Xuanzan know whether they are going back to deal with the Changsheng Army? If our army goes north now, can we save the Changsheng Army?"
Xiao Yan just looked at the bearded girl who was already completely white. Every question asked by Master Zhong made a lot of sense. However, the account was not settled in this way.
In history, this Northern Expedition ended in the final absurd ending. Later generations blame Tong Guan more on the head of Tong Guan. But do generals in the Western Army have no responsibility? Especially the old husband, you! Northern Liao is already in turmoil. As long as the upper and lower levels are united and the whole army advances, there are so many brave Han tyrants in Yan land, and how can the officials in the south of the Great Liao Dynasty not expect the wind to surrender? It is because this army, from Tong Guan to these husbands, each has his own selfish intentions and is entangled. In the battles like Baigou River, one side has its own dedication to the boat, and the other side has two intentions, which ends like this!
Even if Master Zhong said it was right, Guo Yaoshi, a powerful faction with ten thousand people, surrendered and did not send anyone to support him. How could he still expect the Yan land Han to return? No matter how powerful Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan were, they were just struggling to support him! It was because the Song Dynasty was divided and weak and could not go north for a long time, so they had room for peace of mind that the entire Song Dynasty Empire collapsed four and a half years later!
So many famous officials and generals were watching the war finally go uncontrollable. Can you save all this by yourself, a person who was alone a thousand years ago?
However, Zhong Shidao had turned to Tong Guan and raised his voice: "………… Guo Yaoshi asked for surrender, which is a happy event. Once General Xuan ordered us to go north, even if there were thousands of difficulties, we would be ordered to go forward! However, military affairs are major issues, more victory is more, less unbeatable. Once there is a change in Guo Yaoshi, and the Liao army turned around and came again, I am afraid that our Northern Expedition Army will once again be frustrated! At that time, we will deal with the difficulties. I don’t know when the troops will enter Yanjing again! My subordinates are only foolish to get the fool. I have to ask General Xuan to make a decision in such a plan!"
Tong Guan slowly picked up his beards, but just pondered without saying a word. The expression was hidden behind him, but he was angry.
What the old clan said was all within his expectations. If the problems of the Western Army were not solved, how could these husbands take the grain for him, Tong Guan, take this risk? Not to mention that Tong was at a disadvantage. Although everything was expected, the evil flame in his heart was getting higher and higher. The old clan was almost making it clear that even if he forced the Western Army to go north, they would stage another battle in Baigouhe for him to show him. If two consecutive defeats were defeated, no matter how strong his Tong Guan's loyalty was, he would collapse! Not to mention that there was a husband who tried his best to defeat them, and he was still waiting to step on him and the deputy envoy of Xuanfu to come out again!
But having a large army here and waiting passively is still his Tong Guan’s sin! This old husband is so poisonous!
Zhong Shizhong and Yao Gu bowed to Tong Guan at the same time: "Shishou Xuan, but please make a decision! Guo Yaoshi surrenders to Cheng, but you must not ignore the concerns of Zhong Jingdu……How to deal with it, but please make a decision, we just obey the orders!" Liu Yanqing just stood aside with an awkward expression and said nothing. At this time, it is better to pretend to be stupid than to say anything wrong.
Tong Guan slowly put down his hand, his face looking extremely embarrassed: "This... seems to require long-term planning..."
When Yao Gu heard this, he couldn't help but feel more happy. As long as he made a long-term plan, the matter would be delayed. Tong Guan tried his best to use the tricks made by Xiao Xuanzan, who was playing with his mother, to be in vain. Xiao Xuanzan looked like a little white face, but he was still full of scars on his face, and there was a unique taste after the rest of his life. It was really not easy for a scholar to do this, but this effort was only in vain!
However, Master Zhong just lowered his old eyes and sighed indescribably. His expression was a little lonely.
A sneer suddenly sounded in the hall, but it was Xiao Yan. His expression was extremely ridiculed, and the sneer was extremely loud, which made everyone's eyes turn again.
Xiao Yan stood straight, his eyes slowly swept across the faces of the four Western Army's husbands, and said coldly: "The last wish of Taizu and Taizong was actually put into trouble by all the husbands!"
Tong Guan shouted loudly: "Xiao Xuanzan, stop talking! I summoned you to inquire. How can you speak in the military and national affairs?"
