    Chapter 46: Next Step (1) The sky gradually darkened, and the heavy rain that had completely covered the sky and the earth also became lighter, becoming just a patter of rain.  Standing in front of the corridor in the courtyard, you can only see everything in the government office where Pharmacist Guo once lived. It has been washed clean by the rain, and the stone walls are shiny.  The whole air exudes a cool and refreshing smell.  Outside the inner courtyard, two Shengjie soldiers were waiting at the door. They remained motionless in the light rain.  The carved doorframe at the entrance to the inner courtyard hangs over their heads.  The decorative style here is less complicated and rich than that of Song Dynasty, but more rough and simple.  The drainage hole on the wall was spitting out water right next to the two armored soldiers standing silently. Occasionally it splashed on the armor leaves, and it seemed that a cold and cold sound could be heard.  Outside the government office, Zhuozhou City was silent, just crouching at the feet of the new conqueror.  This pass has experienced two incidents, and what it longs for now is probably just peace.  Only the muffled sounds of fighting on the city walls came from afar.  ¡ª¡ªThis is Laozi¡¯s Zhuozhou.  Xiao Yan stood in front of the steps, just thinking contentedly.  What filled my chest was only the sense of accomplishment.  Zhuozhou has been conquered, and more than 1,200 scattered victorious troops surrendered.  After half a day, most of them had already retreated into the city. In other words, Xiao Yan temporarily gave up guarding the south side, and he didn't need it anyway.  Only in the north and west, after discussing with Qiu Huchen and Li Cunzhong, a small team of sentinels was sent out. They did not set up any external jams. They just used cavalry to patrol the sentinels and opened a warning curtain.  The city is now completely closed. In addition to being tightly closed, the city gates are also completely blocked with rocks, earth, and large trees. If you want to communicate inside and outside the city, you have to climb the city by hanging ropes.  All the paraphernalia checked at the Zhuozhou warehouse were moved to the city wall.  The hundreds of people from the Baiyi Army and the Shengjie Army were so busy running around that no one even touched the ground.  There are so many tasks, including defending the city, scouting, guarding the city, and monitoring the surrender of more than a thousand victorious troops, which makes people unable to separate themselves.  Ma Kuo, Li Cunzhong, Qiu Huchen and other generals were all extremely busy, and of course they sent more than ten cavalry to report back the great news!  After the discussion between Ma Kuo and Xiao Yan, they seized a small amount of grain and used half of it to open a warehouse to help the few people in the city.  Although military resources are extremely tight now, I don't know when the Song Army will be able to respond.  However, when approaching a big city with a small army, it is important to calm people's hearts.  Moreover, if we want to defend Zhuozhou City, a few hundred soldiers will definitely not be enough. When the time comes, we will definitely have to recruit strong people to assist in the defense. It is better to be more generous.  There is another meaning, but Ma Kuo believes that when the king of the Song Dynasty regains his homeland, he must have a different atmosphere from the Liao people in order to make the people of Yan land return home in the future!  For this idea that Ma Kuo insisted on, Li Cunzhong, Qiu Huchen and others who directly led the troops all expressed their dissatisfaction.  For soldiers, food is a treasure. Without food and grass, no matter how strong the soldiers are, they will be scattered.  Xiao Yan and his men conquered Zhuozhou. When the Liao people learned about it, why should they return quickly?  When the time comes to fight in the Cage City, won't we rely on food and grass to support ourselves?  Who knows how many days I have to wait here!  Everyone knows the efficiency of the Song Army's decision-making.  However, Xiao Yan smiled and agreed with Ma Kuo's opinion.  One is that Ma Kuo has been extremely generous to himself along the way. He has a deep foundation and is a direct descendant of the Western Army. He has also received the official praise of Tong Guan and allowed him to command this war.  It's better not to ruin Brother Ma's face with such a trivial matter.  The second thing is that he has his own plans for the next step The two Xuanzans have the same opinion, and Li Cunzhong and Qiu Huchen also murmured their approval.  I have never been satisfied with conquering Zhuozhou!  Since Ma Kuo's surrender, I'm afraid they have all been thinking about how to defend Zhuozhou City as long as possible and defend this bridgehead heading north to Yanjing.  But this credit is not enough for me!  It is not enough to truly change the fate of this war!  Everything is under control, instead of waiting in panic for the unknown fate in the future.  This feeling can only be said to be damn good.  Xiao Yan stretched out again comfortably.  In the courtyard, he was probably the only one who had such a leisurely time.  Speaking of which, he was also covered in injuries. The old injury of a dislocated wrist was not healed, and now his foot was sprained. There were many bruises on his body, and there were even bruises and swellings.  Everyone was busy, and no one dared to assign any tasks to Mr. Xiao. In everyone's subconscious mind, Xiao Yan had become the commander-in-chief of the trip, strategizing and making the final decision.  So now everyone is outside, patrolling the city, repairing war equipment, and handing out food from time to time. They are so busy that Xiao Yan is leisurely in the courtyard with his head in a daze Himself,  Are you really in a daze?  Xiao Yan just smiled faintly in his heart, although his body was already tired after conquering Zhuozhou.He died, but behind his calm appearance, his mind was turbulent, but like the Yangtze River, it never stopped.  The next step, the next step is to reverse the situation between Liao and Song Dynasties, let the main force of the Liao people retreat to Yanjing, and completely give up the barrier land!  I want the Song Dynasty to arrive at Yanjing City two or three months in advance, completely ahead of the Jurchens!  ¡°Is this achievement enough for me to stand out in the Song Dynasty?  Outside the yard, there was suddenly the sound of clattering footsteps, hurriedly walking towards here.  At every door, the voices of Shengjie's soldiers were heard in low voices, and then Niu Gao's loud voice was heard replying: "Commander Yue is under Xiao Xuanzan, and I am Niu Dutou, Wang Dutou, and Tang Dutou.  , Zhang Dutou, and finally Han Dutou! On Xuanzan¡¯s orders, return to the government office to obey the order!¡± Niu Gao¡¯s loud voice even emphasized the words, which shocked the quiet government office!  The courtyard of the department was buzzing.  The soldiers of Shengjie kept asking questions, and Niu Gao took the trouble to answer them one by one.  The voices came in one after another. Xiao Yan stood in the inner court. For some reason, he felt as if the military camp was deep and the commander was sitting in danger, waiting for his subordinates to come.  Footsteps were coming straight towards Xiao Yan. In an instant, he saw the two soldiers guarding the door stepping aside. Yue Fei took the lead and strode in.  In the drizzle, Yue Fei and the others looked as if they were as steel. They were at the forefront of the whole day's fighting.  After entering the city, Xiao Yan rested for a while, but they ran all over the city and were ordered around by Xiao Yan.  At the end of the day, everyone looked haggard and their eyes were bloodshot, but their spirits remained intact. Yue Fei, who was walking in front, was as straight as a javelin!  Standing next to him was Han Shizhong, together with Niu Gao and the others behind him. They were all dressed in iron armor. The red tassels were wet and stuck to the iron helmets. As they moved, the sound of armor leaves intersecting was heard in the courtyard.  It echoed gently.  The eyes of a group of people were focused on Xiao Yan, who was standing there and looking at them silently.  Several people looked at each other. After entering the city, this was the time for Xiao Yan and Yue Fei to get together.  In their eyes, they seemed to see how they first met in Baigou River, struggling all the way, going through life and death, coming and going on both sides of the Baigou River, and every step they took to tear away the layers of dark clouds that shrouded the heads of the Northern Expeditionary Army.  A hard fight!  There was a crash, and Yue Fei knelt down on one knee. His voice was low, but it struck the hearts of everyone in the courtyard: "Praise, Zhuozhou is ours now!" There was a continuous crash, but it was behind Yue Fei.  Everyone in Niugao lifted up their war skirts together and bowed!  Han Shizhong stood beside Yue Fei, hesitating for a moment. The grown man was a step behind them. He also knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and held his fists straight out. He was sincere and lowered his head in silence.  Xiao Yan stood at the top and just smiled lightly.  "Xuanzan, Ma Xuanzan is in charge of the defense of the city. We are just ordered to help the victorious army enter the city and settle down. More than 900 people have entered the city, divided into seventeen capitals. There are about 100 old and weak people who cannot be driven. The remaining  Eight hundred, they are all strong and capable warriors. I briefly asked them for some information. Some of the soldiers have been seen in battles dozens of times. They are really the ones who have survived a hundred deaths. I can only praise them!  Say it, it's available!" Yue Fei took the initiative to speak before Xiao Yan could speak.  Xiao Yan secretly praised in his heart that Grandpa Yue really lived up to his reputation. He immediately understood what he had asked them to explain He smiled and waved his hands: "Get up Everyone has worked hard, follow me Xiao Yan  , I don¡¯t see any benefits, life and death are commonplace I don¡¯t have anything to entertain you. In this big house, there are only me and the little mute, and by the way, there are seven or eight maids and boys who have not escaped, and the kitchen and  It's as clean as a soldier. The little mute and I are just eating dry food! Next time, I'll invite the big guys at Fengle Tower in Bianliang!" Yue Fei and others all laughed and got up.  Niu Gao and Zhang Xian even winked at each other. It seemed that they had already heard about Fengle Tower.  Only Han Shizhong looked a little embarrassed and stood there silently.  After all, he was from the Western Army, but now he wanted to work under Xiao Yan to seek fame.  It sounds a bit like taking advantage of the situation. After all, Xiao Yan's confidants are Yue Fei and the others.  Yue Fei and the others were newly recruited warriors from Hebei Province, and they could leave without hesitation in the Western Army.  He could work wholeheartedly for Xiao Yan.  But Han Shizhong, even he himself didn¡¯t know if he would return to the Western Army after he gained enough fame!  "Compared to such a huge backer as the Western Army, Xiao Yan is too insignificant.  Seeing everyone getting up, Xiao Yan came down and patted their shoulders one by one, including Han Shizhong.  Han Shizhong was able to follow Yue Fei and the others, and Xiao Yan also guessed a little bit of Han Wu's thoughts.  But now he is almost the same as with bare hands. If Han Shizhong wants to take advantage of himself, that is what he wants. The more talents he has, the better.??.  Whether Han Shizhong will leave or not will be decided in the future.  At the end, he looked into Yue Fei's eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Yue, you guessed it right, this ever-victorious army is ours now! Of the eight hundred soldiers, not a single one of them will be left behind for Medicine Master Guo.  You will preside over the reorganization tomorrow and divide it into two commanders. One will command 300 people, and you will lead the other" Xiao Yan's eyes turned to Han Shizhong again. The grown man actually looked a little embarrassed at this time: "  Brother Han takes the command! Tang Huai and Niu Gao will be the commander-in-chief of your command. Zhang Xian will be the commander-in-chief of Brother Han's command. The remaining two hundred are my personal soldiers. Wang Gui, you will be the commander-in-chief.  All the soldiers are gone!" Xiao Yan clapped his hands and said, "The official rank was sent to Hejian Mansion to get it for you, and now we have soldiers for you Anyway, I didn't spend a single penny, and this business is still good.  Not bad!" Yue Fei and the others chuckled, and Niu Gao was so excited that he almost cheered. Even an honest man like Tang Huai was very happy.  They have only been recruited for a few months and are the lowest-level soldiers at the head of the motley camp.  Who would have known that after meeting Xiao Yan, things would turn out to be great and miracles would happen one after another.  All of this dazzled them, and they felt that this was the only way to live up to the ambition of being a man!  Who could have thought that he would have such a prosperous life when he decided to join the army?  And now is just the beginning, everyone has a strong premonition that following Xiao Xuanzan in front of us, there is no telling what heroic career is waiting for everyone!  In the courtyard, the drizzle was cold and cold, and everyone was breathing white air, but their hearts were burning.  Han Shizhong rubbed his hands and smiled beside him. He had such an old face that he didn't know what to say.  I don¡¯t know what will happen in the future, at least in this war, Xiao Xuanzan is such a hot-blooded man, so I will sell my life to him!  Yue Fei laughed twice, but hesitated: "Xuanzan, there are only six of us. Even if we have to kill 800 soldiers of the Ever-Victorious Army, it won't happen in a day or two. Could it be that we are just sitting here and guarding these days?"  Zhuozhou? Just wait here for the army to come up? Then let¡¯s leave Medicine Master Guo in Yizhou?¡±
