    Chapter 38 Military Order (2) In Tong Guan¡¯s Commander-in-Chief Festival Hall, several men in brocade robes were sitting on tables with their swords in hand.  Tong Guan also removed the handsome desk and set up only a couch and a few tables, where he sat politely opposite these men in brocade robes.  There was an awkward silence in the festival hall.  Tong Guan has been fighting with Qiu Ba for a long time, and he has been in the battlefields of Shaanxi all year round. He is not as senior as Bianliang, so he doesn't have much arrogance.  At this time, Baigou was defeated, and he was even more courteous and tolerant towards the ministers of the Western Army.  At this time, he just looked at everyone present with an embarrassed look on his face.  Liu Yanqing, the military envoy of Huanqing Road, had been with him for the longest time, and he also followed him in the conquest of Fangla and made great contributions.  There were fifty people, but Liu Yanqing, whom he trusted the most in this battle at Baigou River, was so vulnerable!  Even the stupid Yang Keshi played better than him!  Yao Gu, the military envoy of Xihe Road, was the backbone of the Western Army, a die-hard member of the Zhong family, and also had a gloomy temper.  He never resisted or expressed any opinions on his own orders, but he also absolutely disdained them.  As if he noticed Tong Guan¡¯s gaze, the dark-skinned Yao Gu just smiled and lowered his head.  Next to Yao Gu is Mr. Xiao Zhong of the Zhong family, Qin Feng Road Manager Zhong Shizhong.  Although he is called a small species, his eyebrows and beard are already white and he is sixty-three years old.  He has a calm and arrogant temperament, and he dares to stand up to others even in front of Tong Guan.  Sometimes, a cold word can make Tong Guan, the dignified commander, unable to step down!  Among the seed masters, Tong Guan was not the one who gave Tong Guan the most headaches. The one who was sitting opposite him the most was the one who was hunched over. In this weather, he was wearing thick brocade robes and his eyes were half-opened and half-closed.  It was the core figure of the Western Army, the elite main force of the Song Dynasty, the Jiedushi Envoy of the Baojing Army, the commander of the Five Routes of Shaanxi Province, and the strategic envoy of the Jingyuan Army, Lao Zhongxianggong Zhongshidao!  The three generations of the Zhong family, starting from Zhong'e, led the army in the Western Army and fought for the Song Dynasty. Among the roads in Shaanxi, the power of the Zhong family was intricate and far-reaching.  By this generation, it has reached its peak.  The two men, Laozhong and Xiaozhong, have been in the army for forty years. Which general in the Western Army today was not trained by them?  Zhong Shidao was already the Jiedushi envoy, controlling all five routes, and was also the most powerful military envoy of Jingyuan Army.  The control over the Western Army has reached its peak.  Regarding this matter, the court was jealous of it, and the scholar-bureaucrats were jealous of it.  That's why Tong Guan spent twenty years in the Western Army!  Master Zhong never confronts him, and responds to everything casually.  In this Northern Expedition, he tried to promote Liu Yanqing, and Zhongshidao saw it in his eyes, but he only used a useless method to get him to this point.  After the defeat of Baigouhe, the Xuan Shuai Yamen's control over them was even more disintegrated. The Jingyuan Army of Zhongshi Road was stationed in Shun'an Army, the Qinfeng Army of Zhongshi was stationed in Mozhou, and the Yao Guxihe Army was stationed in Yongning Army. To put it mildly,  He was blocking the front of Hejian Mansion. To put it bluntly, he was far away from his Tongguan and could no longer be dispatched!  It was so easy to invite them here this time, but once they were received, all they had to do was pave the way.  Unexpectedly, not long after the conversation, the conversation could no longer go on.  They are asked to organize their troops and horses, gather around Hejian Mansion, and make preparations to march northward again. They will take control of the former enemy capital and respectfully ask for help.  As a result, except for Liu Yanqing who remained silent, there was a lot of excuses. It was just that the troops were still in a mess and the armor and staff had not been fully replenished, which hindered the ability to move the camp so quickly.  The cultivator also spoke very little. When Yao Gu complained too loudly, he would even give a few words of advice.  But who doesn¡¯t know that among all the people in the Western Army, only this old man who is about to die is following suit!  "It's nothing more than waiting for the situation in the court to change, waiting for me, Tong Guan, to be kicked out of office because of inaction. At that time, you can go north!"  You must know that I, Tong Guan, am not easily defeated!  Suddenly, a figure flashed outside the festival hall, and Tong Guan looked up. It was Zhao Liangsi standing respectfully at the door, slightly signaling with his eyes.  Xiao Yan, Ma Kuo and the others have arrived.  Tong Guan's eyes flashed and he coughed, breaking the tranquility in the festival hall. Seeing everyone's eyes turning towards him again, he smiled faintly: "My dear sirs, do you know why I am in a hurry to let you all gather together? In the meantime,  , but a big change happened! "Zhuozhou.  In Pharmacist Guo¡¯s office, officers were passing orders coming and going. Everyone was in a hurry and looked ashen.  Order after order was issued from Medicine Master Guo and spread out like flying.  The guards inside and outside the official office were tight, and every soldier was ten times more nervous than before. For no other reason, Changsheng Army sentry detectives suddenly discovered that the most elite Khitan Pishi Army in Daliao under the banner of Xiao Qian, and the Xi Army  , is approaching Zhuozhou from the south!  The ever-victorious army's distant sentry posts were all driven back by the approaching army.  He ran back to Zhuozhou with a sad faceThe victorious soldiers were just a reward for the shock. Xiao Qian's army was approaching, probably numbering between thirty and forty thousand, with sophisticated equipment and powerful men and horses!  The troops of Ever Victorious suddenly began to move as if they were flying.  All the refugee huts nearby were burned.  The soldiers on duty were all on duty at the crenellations of the city wall, and all defensive war equipment was brought out.  When building a stronghold in the city, they dug deep and thickened the fence like crazy.  One after another, detectives were sent out to reward Xiao Qian's army with cattle, wine, money, and silk, just to get some assurance. Why did Xiao Qian approach so suddenly?  But every time a probing horse went out, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and never came back. I just watched Xiao Qian's army slowly approaching, and I was afraid that today they would set down a stronghold within ten miles from Zhuozhou. When the army launches, I don't know what it will be.  result!  In the government office, the last officer was sent out. Pharmacist Guo just sat behind the handsome case, holding a fist on the case, and remained silent.  Zhen Wuchen stood beside him. Seeing him like this, he couldn't help but whisper: "Don't care, are we just leaving the city? King Xiao, I'm afraid he has discovered our intention to surrender to the Song Dynasty. This battle will be fought."  No!" Pharmacist Guo was shocked and glared at Zhen Wuchen: "Why are you leaving? I don't know what Xiao is trying to do now, so I gave up to Zhuozhou. I'm not that cowardly!  I don¡¯t believe it, Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi dared to trap the last main force of Daliao here in Zhuozhou and fight with me for a long time. They want to liberate Zhuozhou without a few months of effort. How could it be possible? I just don¡¯t understand, Xiao, the king of the four armies.  Go on, what are you going to do!" His voice was deep and cold, but his back was straight, and he was not at all afraid of Xiao Qian's army approaching the city.  Zhen Wuchen saw it with his eyesight and admired it in his heart, but he just bowed and said nothing.  Pharmacist Guo stood up irritably and walked around with his hands behind his back: "This King Xiao has always been so wise and the most confusing to people. Dealing with such a person is more troublesome than Dashi Linya coming in person!" Suddenly outside the door  There was the sound of footsteps running wildly, and the voices of people began to surge and gradually surged.  Pharmacist Guo stood irritably, frowned and looked outside the festival hall.  Zhen Wuchen knew how Guo Yaoshi was feeling and went out ready to scold him.  When I arrived at the door of the festival hall, I saw one of Guo Yaoshi's generals running down the steps.  He was sweating profusely from running, and the front of his red robe was unraveled. He just held a letter in his hand, and knelt down at the door of the festival hall with a plop: "Don't worry! King Xiao's envoy has sent a letter!" Guo  The pharmacist's eyes lit up, he strode over and grabbed it with his hands. It turned out that among the commanders of the Eighth Battalion of the Resentment Army, he was the only one who could read and write. He didn't need to write in the notebook. He opened the letter and glanced at it hastily, and was stunned.  Zhen Wuchen took a step forward: "What do you think?" Pharmacist Guo took a deep breath and said coldly: "King Xiao sent an order to ride into Zhuozhou alone to review all our officers and generals to show the court's appeasement.  , If there is any mistake, military law will be dealt with. He also said that the army has returned from Xiongzhou in triumph, letting someone in Guo know that the imperial court values ??our victorious army! "Xiao Qian's hand is really good!  This makes Pharmacist Guo a little uncertain.  Whether fighting or walking, he was not very afraid.  If you come out of troubled times, are you still afraid of dying?  The biggest fear is still being undecided. Are you planning to break up with Xiao Qian, or are you just trying to deal with it?  Xiao Qian first used his army to slowly push him forward, tightening the atmosphere.  It made him feel a little bit of awe in his heart, and riding into the city alone to comfort him made him feel relaxed. If Xiao Qian had other intentions, he wouldn't end up dead, right?  In this moment of tension and relaxation, Pharmacist Guo, who felt suddenly relieved, made a perfectly normal decision: "Zhi Niang, let's deal with it first! Gather the generals of the Ever-Victorious Army, as long as we are in Zhuozhou  Yes, there is one who can be regarded as a leader. Don't find fault with King Xiao Don't worry about the Liao army outside. There is no one in the camp to take charge. Don't be afraid. Xiao Qian is in our hands.  , If they dare to move, they will have to take Xiao Qian¡¯s life!¡± Hearing Tong Guan¡¯s suddenly deep voice, Zhong Shidao, who was sitting across from him, finally opened his eyes a little wider.  He is already a seventy-one-year-old veteran. He has fought hundreds of battles for the rest of his life. What else has he not seen?  When an old man has held onto something for a long time, he will naturally develop the feeling that it belongs to him.  In Mr. Lao Zhong¡¯s opinion, the Western Army belongs to him.  The Zhong family has been serving the Song Dynasty for generations, so the old Mr. Zhong naturally has no idea of ??relying on his strength to stand on his own.  But this time, the southern Ping La and the northern expedition to Daliao pulled the Western Army that he had worked hard to develop out of Shaanxi. There was also a Xuan Commander who spared no effort to divide and disintegrate the Western Army, tearing the good Western Army into pieces.  There were even countless Shaanxi disciples who dumped their bodies in Jiangnan and Hebei, and were not allowed to return to their hometown. This was the thing that made him most angry!  The Western Army, the Western Army, guarded all roads in Shaanxi for the Song Dynasty, that¡¯s all.  If they want to make the Northern Expedition and run the Hedong Army and the Hebei Army, they can do it!  What's more, everyone can see now that Tong Guantong Xuan Shuai'an'sThe idea is to divide the Western Army into a large part and serve as the Youyan Zhenjun in the future, so that he, the three-way propaganda envoy, can be justified!  Thinking of this, Zhong Shidao couldn't help but cast a cold look at Liu Yanqing next to him.  The veteran general who has been with him for a long time and the future commander of all roads in Hebei has fascinated his eyes, but he doesn't know what your Huanqing Road armies will become without the Western Army?  Fortunately, he still wants to promote Liu Yanqing's heroic son to take over his position in the future!  Mr. Laozhong has already had his own plans for this war.  This opportunity is rare, and the Sixteen States of Yanyun must be restored.  Although Yelu Dashi is brave, it is really difficult to support a tree alone.  As long as the Western Army fights seriously, it is not without the ability to recover.  But the Western Army must be concentrated, and the command must be in the hands of his old man!  After regaining Yanyun for the imperial court, the Western Army still returned to Shaanxi Province and was not allowed to be divided and stay in the local area!  "Tong Guanxuanshuai didn't bow his head for a day, so they just watched with cold eyes.  Except for Liu Yanqing's Huanqing army who were not elites in the Western Army, and who were deeply entangled in the La War in the south of Pingjiang and were eager to return home, and the stupid Yang Keshi Wang Zhen, few of them were  The main force on the road is stationed in various places, and the Xuan Shuai Yamen office responds to the dispatches, but they are all perfunctory and evasive.  With the little strength he has at hand, it is absolutely impossible for Tong Guan to go north alone!  Once the decision has been made, it is twice as difficult and easy for an old man.  Not to mention that the vast majority of the Western Army¡¯s generals also supported this idea.  This time Tong Guan sent his horse to invite all the ministers to discuss the military affairs of Hejian Mansion.  Everyone was invited to come, but it was just a perfunctory show of complaining. With such a status as Master Zhong, he didn't even bother to complain. When the time comes, he just said that he couldn't answer the order.  But what they didn¡¯t expect was that within a few days, news came that Marshal Tong Guan, a man named Xiao Xuanzan whom no one had ever heard of, secretly dispatched as an envoy, had persuaded Pharmacist Guo to surrender!  The first person Xiao Yan arrived at was Wang Zhen Yang Keshi. Both of them were from the Western Army. Although they were now considered to be in Tong Guan's camp, how could the news that Xiao Yan had broken into the camp not reach Zhongshi Dao?  And now Tong Guan is showing this trump card!  Several people's eyes were turned to Tong Guan, each with different expressions.  But no one spoke.  Tong Guan sat at the top, carefully studying the expressions on everyone's faces, and then glanced at Master Zhong, but the old man remained calm.  "Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the ever-victorious army, has asked to surrender to our Song Dynasty! This is a great blessing for the official family and a great blessing for the Song Dynasty! Guo Yaoshi is based in the two prefectures of Zhuoyi, across the Baigou River, and is far away from our territory of the Song Dynasty.  Yanjing's gateway barrier. Guo Yaoshi said that the ever-victorious army has tens of thousands of soldiers, which is enough to support our Song Dynasty king's army when it goes north again, directly to the front of the Gaoliang River, relying on the two states of Zhuoyi and the Liuli River and the dry road for support.  We, the King of the Song Dynasty, can have another decisive battle with Yelu Dashi. If we win, we can go straight to Yanjing and regain Guanshan in the Sixteenth Prefecture. It is the wish of Taizu Taizong that if the situation is unfavorable, there will be Zhuoyi Prefecture to rely on to retreat.  , It won't be a big setback What do you think, sir, of this turning point in the war?" When Tong Guan spoke, he was just beaming, and his excitement increased by three points.  At the end, I beat it hard and for a long time, and I almost laughed out loud!  Liu Yanqing had already stood up to avoid the banquet. He crossed his hands and saluted: "Congratulations to the officials, congratulations to the Song Dynasty, and congratulations to Commander-in-Chief Xuan! If Commander-in-Chief Xuan had not highlighted his extraordinary troops and used Xiao Xuan's praise to persuade Guo Pharmacist to surrender, how could there have been such a turn of events?  I wonder how Commander Xuan will arrange things in the future? "Although Liu Yanqing was the first to stand up and salute, he congratulated Tong Guan.  But Tong Guan's eyes were still a little cold when he looked at him.  Although this seemingly rough-and-tumble envoy of Huanqing Road has made it clear that he still supports Tong Guan, he has become much more diplomatic.  If he had been placed before Baigou's defeat, he would have jumped out and shouted that Liu was willing to serve as the front line and as the commander-in-chief, and go straight to Zhuoyi Prefecture!  Now Tong Guan is in an awkward situation. After all, Liu Yanqing was born in the Western Army, and now he has to leave some way out for himself Yao Gu and Zhong Shizhong only focused on Zhong Shidao.  Master Zhong smiled faintly, stood up tremblingly, and crossed his hands to salute: "Congratulations to Commander Xuan" Before he could finish his words, Tong Guan had already stood up and spread his hands: "Mr. Zhong, please sit down quietly.  ! This is the saintly virtue of my official family, the great Song Dynasty Hongfu. After the defeat in Baigou, I was always worried. It is not worthy of congratulations. I just hope that this time, I can make up for it a little bit. I don¡¯t deserve this gift from the old man.  !" Master Zhong smiled slowly, and watched Master Zhong and Yao Gu both stand up from the table, salute and congratulate Tong Guan, and then said softly: "This happened suddenly, and the relationship is not trivial Guo Yaoshi really did.  Please surrender. This is really a rare opportunity. We should follow Commander Xuan's words and immediately go north to meet Yaoshi Guo But as a general, we must be wary of the current situation of the Western Army.  , but it¡¯s really not good If my subordinates are brave, can they please invite Xiao Xuanzan to come to the festival hall and ask some of the victorious troops????  " Tong Guan laughed, extremely generous. What he likes most is to show his magnanimity. "It's right to make decisions before taking action. What's wrong with me?  When it comes to military matters, the person I rely on the most is Mr. Zhong. I have led troops for twenty years. Don't I know that without checking the situation and forcing the army to move lightly with just a finger on the map, there will never be a good end?  Xiao Xuanzan is waiting under the festival hall now. I will send him up here for questioning Come on, Xiao Xuanzan is coming to the festival hall!  " Several generals standing at the door of the festival hall immediately pressed their swords and went down the steps, shouting orders. Master Zhong smiled faintly: "Such heroes used to be like a cone in a bag, thanks to Commander Xuan's keen eye for knowing people!  We, the soldiers, are really eager to see this Xiao Xuanzan!  "
