Chapter 46 Next Step (1)

The sky gradually darkened, and it turned out that the heavy rain that had completely covered the world was also reduced, but it was drizzling.

Standing in front of the courtyard porch, you can only see everything that Guo Yaoshi used to be in charge of the government office. It was washed clean by rain, and the walls built with stones shine. The whole air emitted a cool and refreshing smell.

Outside the inner courtyard, two Shengjie soldiers were waiting at the door. In the light rain, they were motionless. The carved door frame at the door of the inner courtyard was hanging on their heads. The decoration style here is less complex and colorful than Song Dynasty, but more rough and simple. The animal drained on the wall was spitting out water next to the two iron armored soldiers standing silently, occasionally splashing on the armored leaves, and it seemed that the cold and cold sound could be heard.

Outside the yamen, Zhuozhou City was silent, just curled up at the feet of the new conquerors. This key pass has experienced two changes, and what he wants now is probably peace. Only the sound of fighting on the city walls is hoarse and it comes from afar.

——This is Lao Tzu’s Zhuozhou.

Xiao Yan stood in front of the steps, thinking with satisfaction. The only feeling of accomplishment was filled with his chest.

Zhuozhou has already been gone, and more than 1,200 scattered eternal soldiers surrendered. After half a day, most of them had already shrunk into the city. In other words, Xiao Yan temporarily gave up the guards on the south, and he didn't need it anyway. He could only discuss the north and west, after discussing with Qiu Huchen Li Cunzhong, he sent a team of squads, and did not set up peripherals, but only patrolled the posts with cavalry and opened the warning curtain.

The city is now completely closed. In addition to being tightly closed, the city gate is also completely blocked with stones, earth and big wood. If you want to have contact with the city, you can climb the city by hanging ropes. All guards inspected in the Zhuozhou warehouse will be moved to the city wall.

The hundreds of people from Baiye and Shengjie were busy, and each one was not careful. There were too many tasks, guarding the city, provoking the city, guarding the city, and monitoring more than a thousand surrendered soldiers of the always-savvy army, making people unable to separate themselves. Ma Kuo, Li Cunzhong, Qiu Huchen and other generals were all busy, and of course they could not help sending more than ten cavalry to repay the great news!

After Ma Kuo and Xiao Yan's discussion, he seized a small amount of food and fodder, and used half of them to open a warehouse to help the few people in the city. Although the military capital is extremely tight now, I don't know when the Song army will be able to take it over. However, it is important to calm people with few soldiers to defend the city with a few soldiers. Moreover, if you want to defend Zhuozhou City, a few hundred soldiers will definitely not be enough. At that time, you will definitely recruit people and strengthen their defenses, so it is better to be generous. There is another meaning, but Ma Kuo believes that the Song Dynasty's royal army must have a different atmosphere than the Liao people in order to make the people in Yan return in the future!

Regarding the idea that Ma Kuoyili insisted, Li Cunzhong, Qiu Huchen and others who directly led the troops were all slandered. For those who were in the army, food is treasure. Without food and grass, no matter how strong the soldiers were, they would be dispersed. Xiao Yan and his big guys were able to recover Zhuozhou. When the Liao people learned that they would not be able to return to the army quickly? Then, if they fight in the city and support, they would not rely on food and grass?

Who knows how many days we have to wait here! Everyone knows the efficiency of the decision-making in front of the Song army.

However, Xiao Yan smiled and agreed with Ma Kuo's opinion. One reason is that Ma Kuo has given him extremely face all the way. He has a deep foundation and is from the Western Army. He has also received the genuine praise from Tong Guan, so he let himself command the war. For such a trivial matter, it is better not to wipe out the face of Brother Ma.

The second is that he has his own plans for the next step......

The two Xuanzans had the same opinion, and Li Cunzhong and Qiu Huchen also accepted it with great whispers.

I have never been satisfied with regaining Zhuozhou! As the horse expands, I am afraid that I am thinking about how to defend Zhuozhou City as long as possible and guard this bridgehead to enter Yanjing north. But this contribution is far from enough for me! It is far from enough to truly change the fate of this war!

Everything is in control, instead of waiting for the unknown fate of the future in fear. This feeling can only be said to be fucking good.

Xiao Yan stretched out comfortably again. He was probably the only one who was so idle in the courtyard. Speaking of which, he was also injured all over. His wrist was dislocated and his old injuries were not healed. Now his feet were twisted again, and there were still many scratches on his body, and he was even more blue and swollen. Everyone was busy, and no one dared to assign him any tasks. In everyone's subconscious, Xiao Yan had become the commander in charge of the central army, strategizing, and making the final decision. So now everyone is outside, patrolling the city, repairing the combat equipment, repairing the equipment, and dictating the food. He was so busy that he was so busy that Xiao Yan was leisurely in the courtyard...

Are you really dazed? Xiao Yan just smiled faintly in his heart. Although he has been tired and dead until now, his calm appearance has rumbling behind his mind, but his mind is like a big river in the Yangtze River, and he has never stopped.

Next, the next step is to turn the situation between the Liao and Song dynasties over, let the main force of the Liao people retreat to Yanjing and completely give up the barrier! I want to let the Song Dynasty reach the city of Yanjing two or three months in advance, and completely seize the lead in front of the Jurchens!

Is this achievement enough for me to make a name for myself in the Song Dynasty?

Outside the yard, there was a lot of footsteps, and we hurriedly walked towards the place. At the doors, the sound of Shengjie soldiers shouting in a low voice, and then Niu Gao's loud voice replied: "Commander Yue under Xiao Xuanzan, and I, Niu Dutou, Wang Dutou, Tang Dutou, Zhang Dutou, and finally Han Dutou! Following Xuanzan's order, go back to the yamen to obey the order!"

Niu Gao's words under Xiao Xuanzan's command were particularly accented, and the quiet courtyard buzzed. The soldiers of Shengjie Army kept interrogating, and Niu Gao answered one by one without getting tired of it. The voices came in layer by layer, and Xiao Yan stood in the inner court. For some reason, he felt like the tiger tent was deep and the general was sitting in danger waiting for the tiger tent to come.

The footsteps came straight towards Xiao Yan. In a flash, the two soldiers guarded at the door made way out to both sides. Yue Fei took the lead and walked in with great strides.

In the drizzle, Yue Fei and others looked like iron. Today, they rushed to the front of the battle. After entering the city, Xiao Yan had a rest, but they ran around the city and ordered Xiao Yan to circle. After a day, everyone looked haggard, their eyes were covered in blood, but their spirits did not diminish. Yue Fei, who was walking in front, had his body straight like a javelin!

Standing beside him was Han Shizhong, and Niu Gao and others behind him were all covered in iron armor, with red tassels wet and stuck to the iron helmet. As he walked, the sound of the intersecting armor leaves echoed gently in the courtyard. The eyes of the group of people were gathering on the standing there, but they just looked at Xiao Yan without making a sound.

Several people looked at each other. After entering the city, this was the time when Xiao Yan and Yue Fei gathered together. In their eyes, they seemed to see everyone's first encounter in Baigou Hebei, struggling all the way, life and death, coming and going on both sides of the Baigou River, and every struggle to tear open the layers of dark clouds above the head of the Northern Expedition Army!

With a loud bang, Yue Fei had already knelt down on one knee, his voice was low, but he hit everyone's heart in the courtyard: "Xuanzan, Zhuozhou is ours now!"

There was a clamor, but Niu Gao and others behind Yue Fei lifted up their battle skirts together and bowed! Han Shizhong stood beside Yue Fei and hesitated for a moment. The grown man was one step behind them. He also knelt down on one knee, bowed his hand and fist, stretched out straight, sincerely, and silently bowed his head.

Xiao Yan stood in the top and just smiled faintly.

"Xuanzan, the city defense is under the leadership of Ma Xuanzan. We were just ordered to bring Changsheng Army into the city to settle down. There were more than 900 people entering the city, divided into seventeen capitals, and about a hundred old and weak people, which could not bear the drive. The remaining eight hundred were all strong and capable of fighting. My subordinates briefly asked them about a few words. Some soldiers had already seen each other dozens of battles, and they were really left for the rest of their lives! Xuanzan, I can only say one thing, it is usable!"

Yue Fei took the initiative to speak without waiting for Xiao Yan to speak. Xiao Yan secretly praised her in her heart. Grandpa Yue was really famous and immediately understood what he asked them to explain...

He smiled and waved his hand: "Get up... everyone has worked hard. Follow me Xiao Yan, there is nothing good about it. It's common to be born and die... I have nothing to entertain you either. In this big house, I am now two little mute and I, and there are seven or eight maids who have not escaped. The kitchen is like a soldier, and it's clean. The little mute and I are just eating dry food! Next time, I'll invite everyone at Fengle Tower, Bianliang next time!"

Yue Fei and others laughed and stood up one after another. Niu Gao and Zhang Xian were still winking at each other. It seemed that they had heard of Fengle Tower's reputation for a long time. Only Han Shizhong looked a little embarrassed and stood there without saying a word. After all, he was from the Western Army, but now he was going to squeeze into Xiao Yan to seek fame. It was a bit of a blessing. After all, Xiao Yan's confidant was Yue Fei and the others. Yue Fei and the others were from Hebei. They were born in a new recruit of soldiers who dared to leave. They could leave without any nostalgia. They could work hard for Xiao Yan wholeheartedly. But Han Shizhong, even he himself didn't know whether he would turn back to the Western Army after he gained enough fame!

Compared to the huge backer of the Western Army, Xiao Yan is really too insignificant.

Seeing everyone get up, Xiao Yan came down and patted their shoulders one by one, even Han Shizhong didn't miss it. Xiao Yan was somewhat guessing Han Wu's thoughts when Han Shizhong was able to follow Yue Fei and the others. But now he is similar to bare hands and empty-handed. Han Shizhong wants to benefit from his own strength, and the more talents he has, the better. Whether Han Shizhong will leave in the future will be discussed in the future.

At the end, he looked at Yue Fei's eyes and smiled and said, "Brother Yue, you guessed it right. This ever-winning army is ours now! Eight hundred war soldiers, one of them will not be left for Guo Yaoshi. You will preside over the reorganization tomorrow, and you will be divided into two commands, one commands three hundred people. You will lead the command..."

Xiao Yan's eyes turned to Han Shizhong again. The grown-up man looked a little embarrassed at this time: "……… Brother Han led a commander! Tang Huai Niu Gao was the head of the capital in your command, and Zhang Xian was the head of the capital in Brother Han's command. There were only two hundred left, and I was my personal soldiers. Wang Gui, just be the head of the capital!"

Xiao Yan slapped his hands: "I've been sent to Hejian Mansion to ask for you, and now there are soldiers for you... Anyway, I don't have a single deposit, so the business is not bad!"

Yue Fei and the others laughed, and Niu Gao was even more browsing, just cheering. Even honest people like Tang Huai were very happy. They only applied for a few months and were the soldiers at the bottom of the miscellaneous camp. Who knew that after Xiao Yan, they would encounter miracles one after another. All this dazzled them, but also felt that this was the only way to live up to the will of the man in their hearts!

When he stomped his feet and decided to join the army, who would have thought that he would have such a happy life? And now it’s just the beginning, everyone has a strong premonition. Following Xiao Xuanzan in front of him, I don’t know what heroic career is waiting for everyone!

In the courtyard, Xiaoyu was cold and everyone was breathing white breath, but his heart was hot. Han Shizhong rubbed his hands and smiled beside him, his face was like him, and he didn't know what to say. I don't know how to do it in the future. At least in this war, Xiao Xuanzan was so proud of his face, and he was a passionate man, so he sold his life to him!

Yue Fei laughed twice, but hesitated: "Xuanzan, we only have these six people. Even if we want to eat the 800 surrendered soldiers of the Changsheng Army, it will not take a day or two. Could it be that we are just guarding Zhuozhou these days? We are just waiting for the army to come here? Then Guo Yaoshi in Yizhou, we will leave it alone?"
