Jinzha was spread in Hedong, but the Yellow River blocked it and it was difficult to cross it as if it was flying.

The house in Weizhou is still a dress of mourning, and all the ceremonial flags have been removed. The door seal is plain and everyone is dressed in a veil.

There were heavy rains in Hedong, but when we arrived in Shaanxi, it was just a few drops. Since the beginning of spring, all the roads in Shaanxi have been drought, which has been going on for several months. The people have been praying for rain at the competition club, but there has been no results.

Hebei was raining heavily, and although it was summer, the weather was still cold and cold. Shaanxi was dry, and there were insect and locust plagues in the south of the Yangtze River. Bianliang suffered two shocks, and the two saints were worshipped by powerful officials and marched north. The new Jurchens invaded in two places in Hedong and Hebei. In the eyes of the world, the first year of Jingkang was destined to be the year of disaster.

Although Xiaozhong didn't take any name at this moment, not only did Xiao Yan's court refuse all the gifts, but even the original official also refused and then acted as a filial piety behind closed doors.

But at this moment, the horse stakes in front of Xiaozhong's mansion were still full of horses. The civil minister Yuan Sui and the military generals were waiting outside the door, and there were not many guards. The vast front court in front of the mansion was crowded.

The personal guards Yuansui, who were wearing mahjong's clothes, were just standing solemnly. The personal guards and civil servant Yuansui outside the door were all silent. Although the old horse has passed away, Xiaozhong's control over the Western Army has been greatly reduced. However, due to the changes in the court situation, the Jurchens invaded, and the position of the Zhong family is more important. No matter what the origin or what the attitude towards Xiaozhong is, no one dares to disturb him when he arrives in front of the door!

Originally, even though carriages and horses were shuttled back and forth in front of the home, there was never such a crowded atmosphere.

The reason is very simple, that is, the battle situation in Hedong suddenly changed. The Jurchen army's surprises emerged and cut off the Yellow River. One of them rushed into Hexi, ravaging and sweeping the coast. The 400-mile road of Fuyan Road rushed to the expressway and rushed to Weizhou.

The Fuyan army suddenly fell into danger, and now the remaining army general is desperately seeking help from Xiaozhong, a person who nominally inherited and controlled the Western Army!

Who among the Western Army, including the civil officials from Shaanxi, was not shocked by this great bad news?

The Fuyan army rashly crossed the river and advanced eastward, which was actually not Xiaozhong's intention. Originally, Xiaozhong planned to watch the battle situation in the east across the river, while recovering its vitality. While waiting for the opportunity to maximize the interests of the Western Army, the group of the group, to take action.

He valued Xiao Yan quite much like the old clan, and gave him a help when Xiao Yan rose. Xiao Chun had never had much friendship with Xiao Yan, and felt that Xiao Yan's rise greatly hurt the interests of the Western Army.

No matter how fierce the Hedong fights, no matter how hard Xiao Yan's troops fight, Xiao Chun is still hard and ignores it.

However, the former Jurchen army and horse soldiers knocked on the river and shook the gate of the Fuyan army. Xiaozhong agreed to the Fuyan army to cross the river and drive the Jurchen army away from the Yellow River. Not only did he support food, fodder and weapons, but he also sent Yang Keshi's troops to obey Liu Guangshi's orders.

Unexpectedly, Liu Guangshi, a very happy person, was after crossing the river. When he saw the Jurchen horse retreating in a hurry, he actually got up and wanted to take Li from the fire, and allied the Zhe family. He advanced eastward in a large scale, and set up a huge battle to suppress the Jurchen horses and turn eastward, forcing them to turn back and fight Xiao Yan!

Then the Fuyan army sat firmly on the Diaoyutai at the closest distance, waiting for the opportunity to get a bargain. They even went straight to Taiyuan Prefecture to welcome the two saints, and used the Fuyan army to replace Xiao Yan's position with the ruling plan!

The advance of the Fuyan army eastward was a huge shock to the overall Western army, which had barely maintained a united state.

There are people who deeply hate Liu Guangshi for acting without permission and want to take the opportunity to occupy the generals of the Western Army.

I am very envious of Liu Guangshi's prospects once he succeeds, and there are some people who are eager to join this troubled waters drama.

Such a military general holding a horse, the civil officials in Shaanxi are even more indescribable. Some people who have sent private letters to Liu Guangshizhong's military office, or they have expressed their good intentions and made good connections. Or they simply gave advice on the country and discussed how the court should be deployed after entering Taiyuan Prefecture to welcome the two saints in the future.

Some people also stepped up contact with the officials of Bianliang and wanted to make arrangements in advance in Bianliang to deal with the sudden collapse of Xiao Yan's power. Needless to say, they wanted to get enough benefits in such a change.

I also understood that it was the capital to support the army at this moment. I contacted the generals of the Shaanxi army nearby, and I was ignorant of making a decision.

The chaotic situation was rampant. For a time, people who came and went to Xiaozhong's mansion and waited in front of the yamen all day long, and all disappeared!

Until even greater bad news came quickly.

The rear camp established by the Fuyan army at Hehejin Ferry was attacked by the Jurchen army and horses in one fell swoop. The rear camp of the Fuyan army was cut off. One of the Jurchen army even crossed the Yellow River and ravaged and swept the inner towns and forts of the Fuyan army in Hexi!

The territory of the Fuyan army was originally extremely empty, and the survival of the 40,000 troops was uncertain. The Jurchen army horses broke into Langan Fort and Jingqiang Village. The farthest west, the war was already burning in the Dahe Village of Shentang Village. To the deepest south, the Jurchen army rangers crossing the river and advancing west appeared in front of Wanhu Valley. To the south, if the Jinning army was not protected, the Jurchen army horses would go deep into Yongxing Army Road. The 800-mile rich Qinchuan area would tremble under the iron hoof of the Jurchen!

The situation suddenly became so bad. It turned out that Xiaozhong's mansion, which was a little neglected for a while, suddenly became lively. Not only were the generals of the Jingyuan Army who were close to him were summoned, but Qin Fengxihe and other military generals sent a message to them to lead the army. Local civil officials in Shaanxi either came in person or sent envoys to the city of Weizhou. They wanted to discuss a plan to defend the war.

Military generals and civil officials were all coming one after another. However, as the largest group of the Western Army, the Jingyuan Army, which is now the most powerful, and is strong in the army. The generals of the leading troops are closest to Xiaozhong's mansion to discuss early. The daily gathering time is very long, but there is still no clear military order issued!

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

Outside the door of Xiaozhong's mansion, a group of personal guards from various generals from Jingyuan were waiting outside the door.

The Xiaozhong Mansion is naturally the most impressive official residence in Weizhou City. There is an exclusive empty space to accommodate these civil officials, Yuan Yihe generals. This empty space is so big. Just a horse tucked in a horse and drinking water can accommodate more than 300 horses at the same time.

The civil minister Yuansui and the personal guards in the army filled the empty field. However, they were still quite distinct from each other. The civil minister Yuansui, wearing a green round necklace and a short-legged burqa, whispered in the east, and his behavior was a little restrained and uncomfortable. In the past, the civil minister Yuansui had an absolute advantage in front of the personal guards of the military. Even if they waited in front of the Xiaozhong Gong's mansion, they would probably have to be introduced into the side wing of the main gate. One person had to offer a drink. Now they had to bask in the sun in this empty field.

Those who can be the official Yuan Sui are definitely not stupid people. How can I not know that the civil officials in Shaanxi are no longer able to suppress these generals, and naturally they can no longer use their nostrils to face these sweaty and smelly Qiu Ba. Maybe their masters hope that they can talk to these Qiu Bas and find out the situation in the army. However, the actions of the Qiu Bas and the lowered posture are too strange. These civil officials really don’t know what to do for a while, so they can only gather together awkwardly, enduring the dry weather and the sun that is sunbathing. While they are constantly looking at the guards of the generals who are lazy together on the other side of the empty field, they are interested in talking. With so many officials of all kinds, they really can’t hold their faces off from people, and they just wait for awkwardly to gather together. Even the conversation between each other is much less.

But the military generals and guards seemed much more comfortable than them. Isn’t it normal for generals and masters at all levels to discuss matters inside and wait for police outside? Needless to say, the sun is now shining on the sun, and no one has brought a bowl of drinks. There are too many places to go to the army, and this little bit of suffering is simply a matter of nostalgia.

Before Xiaozhong's mansion, these personal guards naturally did not dare to talk loudly. However, they divided the masters into small groups according to their own closeness and distance, gathered together, and just talked endlessly.

After all, it was not a military operation. As long as there was no big news, no one would come to take care of the Zhong family guards who stood solemnly at the door in robes.

Compared with the civil minister Yuan Sui, these personal guards have more topics to talk to each other.

Since the Western Army returned to the town, they have been desperately recruiting strong and restored the system. Any backbone of the army who has the fate of returning to the expedition has been moved a few times. Some of the personal guards around the army have been released to lead troops, and even those who are still with the generals will be promoted. They just compare their respective careers and discuss who will be promoted to the highest level. This is a topic of the boss.

In addition to official ranks, there are more comparable things between the various departments. For example, military pay is a big deal.

The Western Army's salary has always been guaranteed by the court. Hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers gathered together. In addition to differentiation and suppression and other means, sufficient salary is also an important means to control these hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves. However, even when the Western Army was in full swing, few of them could get full salary and food, and the commander of the commander of the army always had to deduct a layer. However, the Western Army had been fighting for decades, and the commander of the army generally did not work hard to drink the blood of the army, and basically they were empty.

However, as the Western Army went on an expedition to the town, the situation in the country changed. Now, the supply of funds and wages to the Western Army is always much less than before. At least various wartime rewards have become thinner. Military generals at all levels have all been working hard to expand their strength and restore their vitality. They have less salary when they have no money, but the expenses of the generals have not been reduced. The military pay has been paid at a discount, which has become a common thing.

The guards gathered together and asked each other, "You are taking 80% of the salary under the command of the master. I am taking 75% of the salary under the command of the master. The thief who is so traitorous, he only takes 60% of the salary under the command of the master!

In addition to military pay, there are also various military merits. For example, the Western Army units should share their income, and in addition to pay, there are also food, clothing and materials. However, the imperial court is always more convenient to transport money to the Western Army than to transport these things that occupy space. These monthly rations and winter and summer clothing are all converted into money texts, and only allow the Western Army soldiers to buy them. It turns out that state affairs are barely peaceful. Although the various routes in Shaanxi are always more expensive than other places because they invest too much currency, they can barely support their lives by relying on the endless stream of business travel.

But now the entire Song Dynasty is full of holes, the south of the Yangtze River is destroyed, the capital has experienced two changes, and the Hedong and Hebei are damaged by soldiers. The national vitality is also reflected in the decline of business and tourism. Not to mention that with Xiao Yan's strong rise, tens of thousands of strong troops under his command have also absorbed a considerable amount of resources. Now, the soldiers of the Western Army have received discounted wages in Shaanxi. Prices are rising. Everyone gathered together. Although they are all military generals and guards. They are somewhat responsible, life is more difficult than before. There is no talk, and everyone complains!

For these lower-level soldiers, everyone was eating blood-licking from the knife. Now they all felt that the Western Army survived and grew stronger by fighting for the Song Dynasty. Now these generals and masters watched the war but did not fight! The nobles of Liu Yanei, the nobles of the Fuyan Army, were surrounded, and everyone could not agree on a result for a few days. If they don’t fight, they will live a hard life. These generals and masters don’t know what their minds are all in mind. Why can’t Xiaozhong’s husband suppress them? If the old master is still alive, they will act together with each other with a call. How can it be so good? Why bother to let everyone suffer here!

Afterwards, the turbulent discussions couldn't help but become louder, buzzing like a group of wasps flying in this empty field. It alarmed the family and relatives of Zhong, rushed over and scolded them a few times before it was considered to be suppressed. However, although the guards lowered their voices, the discussions never stopped.

This kind of military morale is quite scattered, and even the civil officials who cannot help but look here can be seen!

Under a big tree on the edge of the empty field, several personal guards gathered together. Everyone was like stars lying on the moon, surrounded by a young soldier with a low body and thick arms. He was only twenty-five or six years old, and his face was pale, not like those who had been in the army for a long time. However, his thick arms and calluses on his hands showed that his shooting skills were quite extraordinary.

This young soldier called Wu Lin. At this moment, the official position was nothing great, he was just a deputy lieutenant who was not in the rank of the country. The Western Army had fought for so many years, and although the dispatch was limited, he could be promoted and protected, so many military generals and guards were enough to be the young envoy!

Wu Lin was not a high official because he only entered the army. His brother Wu Jie joined the army much earlier than him. Now he is the tenth general of the Jingyuan Army. The town is located in Langgan City, and he is a rising star in the Western Army. He is right next to his brother. Although his official position is not obvious, the guards cannot come and worship him?

The Wu family had a very low family, and Wu Jie was just a good family member. As Wu Jie fought to gain a position, he spent a lot of effort on the prosperity of his family. It turned out that this younger brother was ordered to study and strive to have a background in the literary world. However, since the Western Army returned to the town, Wu Jie immediately pulled this brother who had not been able to study into the army.

Wu Jie is a smart man. How can he not see the change of the world? The status of a military minister is about to rise? Brothers are the most trustworthy people in the army. If they are tempered in the future, their own brothers will have certain strength. They will support each other more than the other's previously imagined literary and military paths. I don't know how much better it is!

Wu Lin didn't care. He really had no talent in studying. Seeing his brother leading the army majestic, he was envious. He spent more effort on riding a bow and horse, but now he had to join the army, but he got what he could do. And under his brother, everyone followed him, and life was much more nourishing than studying hard behind closed doors.

The other military generals and guards were muttering and complaining about the situations of sending official positions, military pay, food, and life difficulties. Wu Lin had studied, and his brother was the tenth general again, and he lived a lot of life. Naturally, he would not lower his identity and complain about these trivial matters. From the beginning, he made a cold conclusion on the change of the Fuyan army.

"If you want to fight with the Jurchen Tartars, you won't be able to fight for a while!"

Xiao Wu's yamen said something amazing, and several personal guards immediately gathered their interest and asked one after another. Wu Lin had just entered the army, and he realized that he was both civil and military, and his heart could not be hidden in his guidance. He immediately filled his spirits and spoke to these personal guards in an eloquent manner.

"………What is the situation now? It was because the Fuyan army did not obey Xiaozhong's orders, crossed the river eastward and went deeper, and went to the death place. The Liu Yanei was very talented and thought he could play with the Jurchen Tartars and the King of Yan to applaud. Not to mention whether he could bully the King of Yan, but he was not a weak brigade? This is a powerful brigade to destroy Liao! As soon as the Jurchen Tartars retreated eastward, Liu Yanei chased after him like a dog, and now he was trashed!

………Whether it is Jingyuan Army or Qin Feng Army, who likes this Liu Yanei? The things he caused by his own family are only to clean up. The generals of the Western Army worked hard to recover some strength in the past two years, just to waste it in order to save Liu Yanei? There is no reason. After the old master passed away from attacking Yan, who would not regard the soldiers and horses in his hands as if they were alive? Let them fight to the death, but they can't get any benefits. It's just a little more difficult!"

A personal guard said stutteringly: "Will Xiaozhong Gong not be able to suppress the generals?"

Wu Lin sneered: "Xiaozhong's husband has always been waiting and watching, not even the name given by the court. Now he is mourning behind closed doors. Why can he suppress the generals to obey orders? Doing major things, the name is the first. King Yan is concise and has always firmly grasped the name. Xiaozhong's husband pushes his name outward, and the court asked him to lead the Jingyuan Army. Not only did he not accept it, he didn't even want to lead the Qin Feng Army! Although it was to shirk the wait and see when the King of Yan ordered the king to go to war, but without this name, although everyone came to summon the generals and there was no shortage of etiquette, it was not as easy as before to make people obey orders!"

Most of the personal guards didn't understand these words. Although Xiao Wu Yanei was deliberately speaking generously in the military, he was still very literary from time to time, making people feel bored when they could not understand them. Another personal guard scratched his head.

"Does that Xiaozhong husband want to fight or not? I always feel that although Liu Yanei is not a good match, we are always the children of Guanxi, and it is really unreasonable not to rescue them. Xiaozhong husband can't watch them die. He always has to send troops!"

The guard said hesitantly, then lowered his voice and asked, "Will we call the Lord and fight?"

The general in his mouth was naturally Wu Lin's brother Wu Jie. As one of the powerful factions in the Jingyuan army, he was also qualified to join the public to listen to the discussion. However, if you want to speak, it is naturally far from enough. Those who can speak in front of Xiaozhong's husband are only Li Yang Qu Duan Xi Gong and other important generals in the Jingyuan army, as well as the Qin Feng generals who came only today!

Wu Lin didn't dare to make a fuss and said in confusion: "My husband Xiaozhong, I should want to fight..."

My brother came here and talked to him about what his husband Xiaozhong was thinking at this moment.

In the eyes of my brother, Xiao Zhong’s husband was far inferior to the old Zhong’s husband. The decline of the descendants of the Zong family also reduced the control of the Zong family over the Western Army. How many generals in the army now have?

But Xiaozhong's husband still wanted to maintain the overall situation of the Western Army and bear all pressure. He kept a wait-and-see situation in the name of the court. He just refused to let the Western Army be transferred out of Guanxi through him and consumed it in vain. In order to protect the strength of the Western Army and wait for the situation to change. The father and son of the Yao family acted rashly and ruined the elite selection of Xihe Army, which really shocked Xiaozhong. From then on, Xiaozhong's husband firmly carried out the turtle to the end.

Liu Guangshi wanted to suppress the Jurchen army and turn around and fight with the King of Yan to catch up with the troubled waters. Why didn’t Xiaozhong’s husband wait for the Jurchen Tartars to weaken the King of Yan to the extreme? Then the Western Army will get the greatest benefit as a whole? The difference is that Xiaozhong’s husband wants to fight for this benefit for the entire Western Army, while Liu Guangshi just wants to fight for this benefit for his own family.

In the world's opinion, Xiao Chong was not mourning his brother in the name of the court. It represents the will of the entire Western Army, and is not involved in the court struggle for the time being, and maintains the greatest independence. But if the world is strange, when the Jurchens invaded, the Western Army still sits firmly in Guanxi and does not participate in the war, the responsibility is all on Xiao Chong.

Xiaozhong Gong was very hardworking and took all the pressure on the Western Army group.

However, in Wu Jie's opinion, such actions were foolish!

First of all, over the past hundred years, the Western Army has grown into such a giant, not something that has been waiting to see it. It has been fought for decades of bloody battles! Opportunities have always been for those who take the initiative to fight for it, and how many people are there in history? Even Liu Guangshi, although he is not enough to inherit his ambition, he is much better than Xiaozhong's husband in his enterprising spirit!

Secondly, it is not just because of the name, although it still maintains a certain influence on the Western Army. However, the world's affairs are corrected first. There is no name. Xiao Zhong Gong can't suppress the Western Army group, which is already a little scattered!

First, Yao Gu sent troops to Bianliang, and then Liu Guangshi crossed the river and advanced eastward. The generals of the Western Army had their own thoughts. How many civil officials participated in it? In addition to the civil officials in Shaanxi, there was no idea how many military generals were directly contacting powerful figures in Bianliang. They were ambitious and were waiting to replace the status of the Zong family in the future!

Since the King of Yan was strong and his horse was strong, the generals of the Western Army also realized that they had soldiers and generals. Even if they were not allowed to be the King of Yan in the future, why could they not go further?

As she waited and waited, Xiao Zhong Xianggong's control over the Western Army became increasingly lost.

Wu Jie had no doubt that when the children of Guanxi were besieged, Xiaozhong Gong wanted to send troops to fight and rescue the troops of the Fuyan army. But now, can he drive the generals of the Western Army? Especially those who are highly powerful and powerful, and who are trying their best to accept and win over the civil officials?

Wu Jie's opinion was like this. Wu Lin naturally accepted it all. Wu Lin still admired his brother very much. Moreover, he has discussed the postponement here in the past few days, but no result has been reached. It also proves what Wu Jie said. Today, it is probably the last attempt of the old husband, because several confidant generals of Qin Fengjun have arrived and participated in the military discussion. Xiao Chong may hope that these confidant generals will stand with him, suppress different voices, and then go to rescue Fu Yan's army!

To be honest, Wu Lin hoped that Xiaozhong's husband would succeed. He also believed that Xiaozhong's husband could succeed. In his opinion, Xiaozhong's husband was so powerful that Qin Feng's confidants also rushed over, so he should be able to send troops immediately?

Although Wu Lin was a little open-minded because of his youth and experience, he still kept some words in his heart and never said them to these personal guards.

My own brother wanted to participate in this war against the Jurchen Tartars!

Wu Jie actually admires King Yan very much, fights bloody all the way, rises up like this, and is so powerful in the world. Isn’t it just what a man does? Isn’t it a hero in the world? Following such heroes on the battlefield, how can fame and wealth be worthy? Even if you die in the battlefield, you will be happy!

Moreover, the position of the military ministers gradually rises, isn’t it because the King of Yan is for everyone? But as a military minister. At this time, if you do not rely on the King of Yan, you will gain greater power and status. At least for the next hundred years, you will not be on your head for the civil officials. Will you still sit and watch the King of Yan fail? With the example of the King of Yan, you will not know how powerful the civil officials will suppress the military servants in the future. I am afraid that the military servants will not be able to be a slave to the civil servants!

Although these reasons are important, they are not the most important.

The foundation of the Western Army's establishment was to fight against the Tartars for more than a hundred years! Sanchuankou, good water river, and Dingchuan Village, even though tens of thousands of Guanxi Erlang battles were lost on the battlefield. Generations of Guanxi's children still rose up and fought the Tartars to the end!

Because of this, it became a natural and undisputed thing for the Song Dynasty to exert its power from the world to supply the Western Army. The children of Guanxi were also proud of their bloody battles and sacrifices from generation to generation!
To be continued...
