Volume 3 Chapter 100: The Wind and Waves Are Urgent (4)(1/2)
In Taiyuan City, dozens of knights galloped past, splashing sparks on the bluestone road.
The ones surrounded by these knights were Yue Fei. In the team, there was Guo Rong who had a bun and had a dazzling legs.
The city of Taiyuan is already a scene of sternness. Young and strong men are rare, and they are basically used to transform civilians or build military camps. Compared to the hustle and bustle of the city, this city is now a battlefield scene. The solemn and murderous aura is surging.
Following Yue Fei's army to support the west, the three thousand Buqi Qi was already all the troops that could be drawn from the Long Guard Army at this moment. The others were still on the long line of defense, or were sent out to the direction of the Yan land. At this moment, it was difficult to draw more mobile troops in the Long Guard Army. However, the Long Guard Army could not retreat south like the Shenwu Changsheng Army, otherwise, they would be able to make way for the northern paths of Taihang and let part of the Jurchen Western Route Army pass through, and then they could attack the back of the Hebei side. At that time, the entire Hebei battle situation would be in danger.
As soon as the quled cavalry drawn by the more than 3,000 Long Guards arrived in Taiyuan, a Sima, who was in charge of logistics, came to catch him. He immediately arranged a camp to rest. The timber in the camp was fresh and the trench was still shallow. It was obvious that it was built in the past few days.
Although the campsite is new, it has all the facilities. The tents are good cowhide tents, all transported from the Bianliang Wuku a few months ago. They are covered with fresh hay and thick linen sheets. The stables for war horses to rest are also large enough.
As soon as the army arrived, hot broth cakes were sent. The horse trough was filled with essence. The civilians burned hot water to provide hot water for these soldiers who came from dust. The civilians who ran in the camp wanted to feed these soldiers step by step even to eat. Apart from fighting, they didn't have to work hard on anything.
Those who handled these logistics matters were Jiang Wei's troops, and they were all local geographical ghosts in Hedong. Although they were fighting, they were really not at the right time. However, they worked so hard to settle the Long Wei army coming to the rescue.
In fact, although the two powerful field troops of Shenwu Dragon Guard had subdued the local forces in Hedong a few days ago, the two sides were still quite estranged. No one was willing to get close to each other. But now, the local imperial guards stationed in Hedong are working wholeheartedly for the two powerful troops of Shenwu Dragon Guard. The reason is very simple. They are all natives in Hedong. The two armies of Shenwu Dragon Guard are fighting to the end!
Before Yue Fei could settle the army, he immediately went to see Xiao Yan in person. Guo Rong must be among the team. The eldest lady of the Guo family can finally be handed over to the King of Yan. Even if Yue Fei is hardworking and complaining, he doesn't want to take on this responsibility for a day.
After casually scanning the scene in Taiyuan, Yue Fei could see that the army and people in this heroic city had all been stable and were ready to fight a fierce battle. Xiao Yan came with a light cavalry, and it can be said that this action saved the situation in Hedong.
Yue Fei needs to say that he admires Xiao Yan. But what Yue Fei is most concerned about now is how to carry out the following battle.
I guess King Yan has already achieved success?
The closer Xiao Yan was to the office of the former comforting envoy who was stationed in the festival, Yue Fei felt that his heart was getting more and more relaxed. It turned out that those worried thoughts were becoming less and less and less.
He led the army alone to conquer and kill, and took on heavy responsibilities for a long time. Only when Xiao Yan actually arrived in front of the army did people suddenly realize that the support of their military horses would always be the King of Yan!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dozens of cavalry arrived in a hurry, and a barricade was set up three hundred steps outside the government office. A Yue Fei saw the familiar Yan King Zhijia soldiers and some Hedong soldiers on duty here. When he saw Yue Fei coming, he hurriedly came out.
When Yue Fei was facing Xiao Yan's personal guard, he did not dare to take it big and turned over and dismounted. Guo Rong also jumped off the horse neatly. The Yan King's straight armored soldier first saluted Yue Fei, and then saluted Guo Rong, who looked like a male armored soldier. He quickly welcomed the two of them in. The Hedong military men on duty were also enthusiastically settled Yue Fei's personal guard who could not enter.
The King of Yan Zhijia Soldier smiled at Yue Fei while leading the way: "Shipster Yue, the King of Yan is now the most important thing in the world. As the King of Yan's personal guards, we have to be so alert. Please don't be surprised by Mr. Yue."
Yue Fei smiled faintly: "It should have been like this, why are you familiar with it?"
Even though he said that, Yue Fei always felt a little emotional. When he met Xiao Yan, he was just a strange man from Nangui. Even if he led them to the great victory in Yandi and entered Bianliang, he would not be a great figure in the capital of the Song Dynasty. He also had to run under the powerful and powerful families and try his best to survive and develop in Bianliang.
But since Han Shizhong and he led his army to Hedong, Xiao Yan has been the King of Yan of the Song Dynasty and is in power all over the world. When Zizi is about to act according to his expression, all the civil servants and sects in front of him at least on the surface were tilted. On this Fuyao, the experience of turning into a dragon when he encounters wind and clouds. Even as Xiao Yan’s confidant general, he suddenly feels like he is in a dream!
Outside the tutor's office, the barricades were arranged on the floor after floor every fifty steps. The King of Yan was led by the soldiers. There were soldiers everywhere, and the clay sculptures were like mud and wooden sculptures, without hearing the sound of coughing and saliva. Only when Yue Fei and his party arrived did they bow slightly. Only with such a grandeur made Yue Fei truly feel Xiao Yan's power and status as the King of Yan in the Song Dynasty!
Guo Rong was next to Yue Fei, following with her lips pursed, and her expression seemed a little uncomfortable. She didn't expect that after so long, this guy's pomp would become so big!
The King of Yan was still free from Yue Fei's side and explained in a low voice: "Ship Yue has been reported to you for a long time. The King of Yan has been waiting for him. Now Han is in the north, and the military is not here. Isn't it still the order of Yue to follow the order of King Yan? The last general only asks Yue to ask Yue to ask Yue to ask him to fight in front of King Yan and let me go to Yue Shuai's command to fight. Even if you are a ten general, you can do such a happy battle. We just look at him!"
Yue Fei could only smile and not speak out. These were all the confidants who followed Xiao Yan by Zhenri. Even if he had several important generals under Xiao Yan's command, he could not interfere. He could only listen.
As he crossed the last barricade, he had already arrived at the gate of the Pacification Envoy's Office. No ceremonial flags were cast out for the Prince of the Song Dynasty and the Privy Councilor of the Western Prefecture. The King of Yan, who was wearing the armor of the Qingtang wart, stood up solemnly. Each soldier held a long spear and a hard bow on his waist. The bags were filled with wolf-toothed arrows, as if there were iron towers.
This is not a ceremonial war in the soft and magnificent city of Bianliang, but a brave and brave man who is ready to protect Xiao Yan at any time and join the battlefield in Hedong!
This was the door of the comforting envoy opened, and a figure with a slightly thin and straight back stepped out.
It is Xiao Yan.
He was wearing an ordinary robe and a leather belt in the army, and was still slightly tightly tied. His eyebrows were erect and his eyes were sharp. Although he was already the King of Yan of the Song Dynasty, he was powerful all over the world. He was still the image he was sent north two years ago.
After more than two years, he still made a deep mark on Xiao Yan. The most conspicuous thing is that his temples are as white as frost!
In the past, Xiao Yan only made people feel handsome and heroic. But in front of him, it only made people feel like they were about to be cut by his fierce aura. That was the temperament brought by Xiao Yan's miraculous achievements in pacifying Yan.
But now, Xiao Yan has lost weight more than before, and his sharp aura has faded a lot. But standing there, it makes people feel like a mountain that holds the sky!
In the past two years, everyone has changed a lot. The Song Dynasty is no longer the same as before.
Xiao Yan smiled faintly: "Pengju, you finally arrived."
Yue Fei said nothing and bowed deeply. Even though Yue Fei had many thoughts in his mind about Xiao Yan's actions, the light cavalry came to save Hedong of the Song Dynasty at this moment, but he was still the only one who followed the King of Yan under his command from the very beginning!
And the mainstay of this unprecedented battle in the Song Dynasty was not the king of the Zhao family, not the Western army, not the princes in the court... Only the king of Yan!
Guo Rong also pursed her lips and looked at Xiao Yan who had not seen him for too long.
I didn't know how many words I thought about on the way, but I didn't know what to say at this moment. I just couldn't help but want to reach out to touch the white hair on his temples.
The wind sword in the clouds and the bloody battle in Yingzhou. As a daughter's family, she was born and died on the front line, and she had suffered many hardships and grievances at the moment when she saw Xiao Yan. At this time, Guo Rong just wanted to pounce on his arms, so she followed Xiao Yan to finish this life and calculate the grudge between her and Xiao Yan in the next life.
You guy, should you look at me more? Should you come to settle me in person? Should you say a few more words to me and then discuss military affairs with your general?
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan just glanced at Guo Rong and waved his hand slightly. Two Yan Kings straight soldiers came forward, bowed to Guo Rong, signaling to lead Guo Rong to bypass the main gate and enter the yamen office from behind to settle. Xiao Yan let the old man stand silently behind him and greeted him with him.
"Pengju, this is my new shogunate opportunity, and it is OK to praise Hua Zong Rulin. The military situation is urgent, so there is no banquet to welcome you. Go to the festival hall to plan how to fight the following war... Don't say I'm mean."
Xiao Yan joked, neither Zong Ze nor Yue Fei were both interested. Yue Fei just saluted solemnly: "The King of Yan can't bear to welcome the last general, so how can I have a welcome banquet? I only love the King of Yan to give him a brief introduction, and the last general will go out to fight as soon as possible!"
Zong Ze bowed behind Xiao Yan and said in one sentence: "I have met Shuai Yue."
Xiao Yan had already turned around and walked straight towards the direction of the hall. Zong Ze and Yue Fei looked at each other, and the old and the young followed quickly.
The end door opened and closed, and only the soldiers stood solemnly like sculptures.
Guo Rong stood there, feeling that tears were about to fall for a moment. She stomped her feet with hatred, but just coldly said to the two people who came to meet Jia, "Where are you going?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the festival hall, the wooden diagram of the mountains and rivers in Hedong has been prepared. The dots on it are marked, and they were all marked by Zong Ze in the past two days based on military information from various places.
From beginning to end, Xiao Yan did not say anything to the important generals under his command. After Yue Fei entered the festival hall, he pointed to the wooden picture and talked about the military situation.
"………… Zong Han has already gone south. He is now like a long snake, placed at the place where the Kelan Army reaches Lanzhou. At this moment, it is the opportunity to fight outside the Hebei region. The Western Army is ordered to oppress the West from the west, and Han Wu will go out of the Gugu Village. Peng Ju You will leave Loufan. Zong Han's troops will either fight here or get out of Hedong. Then he will use troops to go out of Hebei from Taihang to fight again with Zong Wang's troops!"
A war. The tactical arrangement may be very complicated, but it is often very simple in strategy. Especially for field legions, there are actually two options: fighting or not fighting.
Anyone who does not fight will be deep ditches and high bases to destroy the enemy's aura. Anyone who fights is to choose the right time and force the enemy to fight in unfavorable situations. Now, after Loufan is blocked, Zong Han's troops are already in an unfavorable situation of being attacked on both sides. It is a good opportunity to fight!
Even the middle-level generals in the army thought of this kind of strategic arrangement. Xiao Yan pointed to the wooden picture in the hall and said it, which was nothing more than a formal strategic decision-making. He also designated the main generals who attacked the two routes.
But this war is no longer just a simple military issue. Such a strategic arrangement, under such a complex situation in the Song Dynasty, God knows how big a variable will be! The most important thing is whether the Western Army can cooperate and whether it can cooperate effectively.
Normally, in such a situation, the only reliable combat power is the only one under his command. Xiao Yan should have deep grooves and high barriers to wait for the opportunity. He slowly bargained with the Western Army, and finally reached a consensus with the Western Army group. He then fought a decisive battle with Zong Han's troops.
However, the Jurchen army heading south was not the only one on Zong Han’s way, and Zong Wang’s Eastern Army!
The situation forced Xiao Yan to seek a battle with Zong Han as soon as possible, and strive to transfer troops to Hebei as soon as possible.
Zong Ze and Yue Fei both remained silent after Xiao Yan made the decision in person.
Xiao Yan's battle was both inside and outside, and it was really difficult to fight. But what could we do? As for whether the Western Army is willing to cooperate, whether it can cooperate, whether it will completely obey the orders of the Zhao family kings controlled by Xiao Yan. And even if Xiao Zhong is willing to cooperate, no one can tell what the Western Army's troops will do.
However, such political affairs are not something that Zong Ze and Yue Fei can interfere. Even if Xiao Yan is willing to discuss with them, neither of them will want to listen more.
Yue Fei just took the order solemnly. In the hall, the three of them began to discuss carefully when the Divine Guards would arrive, how to allocate and use military forces, and how to transport and replenish supplies.
Behind every battle is countless complicated and meticulous preparations. But for the commander, you must pay attention to everything and arrange everything perfectly. But you can sit on the bed and command the war at will. Such a commander will only lose a big loss and let the athletes under your command die in vain.
When Yue Fei first arrived, Xiao Yan and Zong Ze were also exhausted for days. The three of them were in the hall. Before Mutu, they discussed for two or three hours in one breath. The sky gradually darkened, and they were just aware of it. Zong Ze had to form documents and orders overnight and issue them everywhere. Yue Fei had to quickly accept a reinforcement from Han Shizhong in addition to the Dragon Guards he brought, and to equip such field troops with enough auxiliary troops. At the same time, he had to prepare to train and select troops to fight as soon as possible. He also had to go to Loufan for a walk, which was considered a starting position, the defense line needed to patrol, the troops needed to be adjusted, and the command system needed to be sorted out. As the commander-in-chief and the shogunate, his status and power were of course high enough, and the responsibilities he assumed were equally heavy!
Xiao Yan never kept them for food, so the two simply bowed to Xiao Yan. After discussing these few hours, Zong Ze and Yue Fei, who met for the first time, both had a good impression of each other. But when they said something, they often coincided. Sometimes they suddenly realized that they had cooperated with each other in their previous life and fought against the enemy on the battlefield?
After the two of them left, Xiao Yan stretched a little and put down the plot of the Wenbao Army that had been piled up in the hall to see. He did not want the soldiers to follow him, so he headed towards the inner courtyard of the yamen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The inner courtyard of the tutor's office was naturally the Wu Min family. After Wu Min was executed, all these families were organized and managed. Naturally, this time was empty.
During these days, Xiao Yan tried his best to stabilize the battle situation in Hedong. He never set foot in this inner courtyard. It turned out that the messy scene of Wu Min running in a hurry was still the same at this moment. The King of Yan Zhijias came with only dozens of cavalry, and the police Bi Xiao Yan's task was extremely heavy, so there was no time to handle these things that should have been done by the servants and servants.
At least a few lights were lit up in the inner courtyard, which made the dark place a little popular. Xiao Yan walked straight to the place where the lights flashed, and soon, he arrived in front of a courtyard.
At the entrance of the courtyard, two Yan Kings and Armored soldiers stood there. Xiao Yan had never brought his family. Even though he welcomed Guo Rong into the inner courtyard, these Yan Kings and Armored soldiers could only be on duty first.
Seeing Xiao Yan coming, two armored men bowed and saluted. The sound of armor colliding in the quiet night sounded softly and went out far away. Xiao Yan waved his hand and asked them to retreat.
In the courtyard, lights were lit in the east wing room, and they were spilling out through the broken window paper everywhere. A slim and tall figure appeared on the window paper, walking around the wing room.
Xiao Yan took a deep breath and walked over and prepared to push open the door.
The eldest lady of the Guo family resolutely headed north for herself, and was born and died. How could Xiao Yan not miss her? When he saw Guo Rong standing in front of him, gently biting his lips and his eyes, how could he not feel soft in his heart? He just wanted to ignore how many people were there and just hugged this tall, beautiful, simple and stubborn girl in his arms?
But the heavy responsibility is still pressing on himself, and he is alone in supporting this war. How many bloody men are fighting for their own lives, and the luck of this national war is still far away. It is a luxury for them to have a long love for them.
At this moment, putting aside everything and rushing to see Guo Rong was already a rare indulgence to him.
…………This girl should understand me, right? She won’t get angry?
Xiao Yan turned on this idea and gently pushed open the door. Then he heard the sound of the wind, and a long sheathed sword hit Xiao Yan in front of him!
Among the lights, the person who swung the sword was the eldest lady of the Guo family, who was tall and tall, with thin silver teeth, and her big eyes were full of grievances and anger. She would definitely be faster than her brain when she was doing something!
At first, Xiao Yan thought Guo Rong was acting coquettishly, although he was a little fierce when he was hit with a long sheath sword. However, when he saw the scabbard head straight to his forehead, he realized that it was not good.
This damn girl is really playing! When she is next to each other, even if the eldest lady of the Guo family obviously keeps her energy, she will have to swollen the boss!
Xiao Yan is quite agile now. He can easily clean up Guo Rong by taking a step back. But suddenly he felt soft and letting this girl vent his anger. He owed this girl too much...
As the lights swayed, Xiao Yan stood steadily. The scabbard that was knocked down by the sound of the wind stopped at a few inches away from his forehead.
The sound of armor leaves behind him was loud, but two Yan Kings straight armored soldiers heard the sound of the sword sheath falling from the night sky and rushed back in two steps. Seeing this scene, the two armored soldiers looked at each other, bent their backs, and carefully twitched and stepped back.
Xiao Yan and Guo Rong looked at each other, and Guo Rong said angrily: "Why don't you hide?"
To be continued...
