    Chapter 47: West Point (1) The original hall of Zhuozhou Pharmacist Guo has been tidied up, the dilapidated handsome desk has been straightened, the broken windows have been patched up, and all the debris and blood stains at the door have been cleaned up.  At this time, the weather, the continuous heavy rain finally stopped.  The sun hangs high in the sky.  Only puddles of stagnant water were left in the yard.  The golden light reflects in the sunlight.  The air is so fresh that it feels as if it has been washed and dried out to dry. Inhaling it deeply into the lungs makes you energetic.  There were not many people in the government office, but tall soldiers from the Victory Army stood silently at each door. Everything was quiet, and only the scent of wild flowers floated in the fresh air, making people completely forget it.  It describes the brutal fighting that surrounded this Zhuozhou City, the Dawang Banner that changed at the top of the city in just over ten days!  Xiao Yanju sat behind the handsome case, just contentedly waiting for someone to come.  ¡ª¡ªThis is my Zhuozhou Although I have not been able to control the fate of this city for a long time, the feeling of being above all the living beings in this city is really not bad.  Outside the festival hall, the sound of iron-clad combat boots could be heard, but a group of people came over.  Today the genius was shining brightly, and the soldiers of the Victory Army rushed to the whole city, spreading orders everywhere. Xiao Xuanzan respectfully invited Ma Xuanzan, and summoned the generals to discuss matters in the festival hall to discuss the next strategy of war and defense!  In fact, everyone is guessing what Xiao Xuanzan will do next.  Capturing Zhuozhou was already a huge miracle.  However, their dire situation alone has not been alleviated much.  Zhuozhou is just two days away from Xiao Qian's cavalry. Although the Khitan Xi cavalry only has more than 10,000 people in total, this is the most elite force of the Liao Kingdom!  The Western Army of the Song Dynasty had a hundred thousand soldiers, but they didn't dare to show their strength head-on, not to mention that they only had 400 cavalry, plus more than a thousand defeated and remnant soldiers of the ever-victorious army that had not yet had time to digest!  Subconsciously, everyone has regarded Xiao Yan as the real commander-in-chief of the army.  And he is an army commander who can perform miracles.  Even Ma Kuo was just waiting for Xiao Yan to come up with new ways to deal with the situation in front of him.  Everyone knows that even the recent king Yang Keshi and his two husbands may not be able to move within ten days.  Now everyone's fate is pinned on Xiao Xuanzan, who has a strange origin and often speaks incomprehensible words.  Everyone was too busy to sleep last night. Ma Kuo had guarded the fortress in the northwest and was the most experienced in city defense.  Li Cunzhong and Qiu Huchen both came from field cavalry backgrounds, so they were not as good as him at all.  Ma Kuo just took them to patrol the city carefully, check the equipment and arrange the guards.  The damaged parts of the city wall, the collapsed parts of the trenches, and the deficient defensive equipment were all counted one by one. It was only at dawn that we had a rough idea of ??the Zhuozhou city defense. We were preparing to discuss with Xiao Yan how to recruit the strong people in the city and how to recruit the ever-victorious army as soon as possible.  Lower your troops and use every ounce of your strength to defend the city.  Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others also went to the camp where the Evervictorious Army surrendered its soldiers. They took a large number of low-level military attach¨¦s with them to report. They just summoned the officers among the Evervictorious Army's surrendered soldiers to meet one by one to see who could be retained and who.  It must be cleaned, who needs to be careful, who can rely on for help.  The officer who surrendered to the Evervictorious Army was so embarrassed that he ran around and claimed to be a direct descendant of Xiao Yan's confidant. He was familiar with people and had wide friendships, which turned out to be of great use to the officer who surrendered to the Evervictorious Army.  , everyone can tell the ins and outs of the situation, and sometimes a few words of laughter and curses can make the conflicted deposed officers bow their heads and surrender their power.  These things are easy to say, but when done, it is really a matter of intrigue.  It is necessary to recruit these troops, but the officers who have been demoted cannot be pushed too far. During this process, there are many joints. Needless to say, Yue Fei is a newbie, and Han Shizhong is also a rough person. He laments the hard work, which is more difficult than fighting in battle.  Ten times harder!  But Xiao Yan had so much trust in them and entrusted them with this important task completely, he had to do his best.  The styles of Han Shizhong and Yue Fei became different at this time.  Yue Fei is cautious and has high demands on himself and others.  There are not many words, but they are all at the key points.  He naturally has a strong and strict demeanor, and he is actually born to be a commander.  The visitor chatted with him and asked him a few questions. Among the officers of the Ever Victorious Army who had experienced hundreds of battles, no one dared to look down on this fledgling Song commander.  In fact, food, salary and property are not the most important thing for a general to be surrendered. What's more, although the Song Dynasty is rich, it is just a lone army here, and the promised benefits have not yet been seen!  The most important thing is whether Shangguan can suppress them!  Han Shizhong, on the other hand, talked loudly and laughed loudly. He looked like Qiu Ba who had been in the army for a long time. He could speak and act to their liking in just a few sentences. Sometimes when he was too stiff, he would curse a few words, which made him appear affectionate.  .  Again, he asked others how many battles they had fought, and then casually mentioned his experiences in hundreds of battles.Just a few words can make people awe-inspiring.  The Ever Victorious Army moved to Liaodong, already thinking that they were superior to the people in the South.  But this Han Shizhong has seen more battles and scenes than them, not less!  At the end of the night, both Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were so tired that their eyes were red, and their iron-strength muscles felt tired, not to mention that both of them were injured and had not rested since they broke the city.  Just when I was about to find a place to sleep for a fucking session.  The arrival of Xiao Yan's military order immediately cheered them up, and they ran away tiredly without knowing where they were.  After being neatly tied up, he rushed to the government office where Xiao Yan was located!  Ma Kuo on one end and Yue Fei on the other met outside the government office.  Seeing the dark circles under each other's eyes, they both smiled and entered hand in hand.  When Xiao Yan heard the noise outside, he turned around from behind the handsome case.  It's not like other people. Ma Kuo has a similar status to him, but he has to respect him a little more.  If Ma Kuo had even fought for power with him during this trip, he might not even be able to touch the city wall of Zhuozhou!  When Ma Kuo and others appeared at the door of the festival hall, Xiao Yan showed a standard smile with six big white teeth.  "The officials are not short of hungry soldiers, but I am empty-handed. I want to hire Ma Xuanzan and other brothers. They are short of money, so they send big guys over. It is really a sin!" Ma Kuo laughed and moved toward  Xiao Yan crossed his hands and saluted: "In Hejian Mansion, Brother Xiao still has the property rewarded by Commander Xuan! I don't know how the officials will reward this great achievement. I have only been in the army for ten years, except for one horse and one horse."  Gong, there is only one woman in the family, and the rest is nothing but Qingfeng I don¡¯t know, in the future, if I go back to Bianliang and go to Fengle Tower, Brother Xiao will give me money!¡±  The conversation and laughter were not directed at them.  He just stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "See Xiao Xuanzan! I don't know if Xuanzan has been summoned. What's the important matter?" Xiao Yan just returned the salute to Ma Kuo, still smiling and speaking calmly: "I have heard of Fengle Tower for a long time.  ! The prosperous scenery of the Bianliang Imperial City is just a scene in the dreams of these northern barbarians. But we never dare to expect to be at the feet of the emperor! If Xiao Mou comes to Tokyo one day, he will also be rewarded.  The result of brother's support I hope that the war in Yan will calm down soon, and Brother Ma and I can hold cups at the top of Fengle Tower to celebrate the birthday of Commander Xuan, the birthday of the official family, and the birthday of the Song Dynasty!" "  He spoke with high spirits. Seeing him so energetic and confident, the generals who came with their hearts in mind, including Ma Kuo, were refreshed.  Now they are relying on Xiao Yan. If he can be so relaxed, has he already figured out a way to deal with the situation at hand?  Or has he already learned that Xiao Qian has withdrawn his troops?  After all, Xiao Yan once said that Xiao Qian's biggest goal is to return to Yanjing as soon as possible and compete with Yelu Dashi for the power of the small court!  Xiao Yan and Ma Kuo looked at each other and smiled, then casually glanced at the generals who were just looking at themselves, and said with a smile: "It's nothing important to invite you guys here. We are here just to be the vanguard of the army and grab the enemy."  Go to Zhuoyi and surrender the Ever Victorious Army, and use it as a support for the army to move north. Although we are now attacking Zhuozhou, we have only completed half of the military orders. The remaining half must be completed as soon as possible, and we must win the battle as soon as possible.  ! I thought about it last night and handed over the defense of Zhuozhou to the Changsheng Army. Commander Han and Yue commanded everyone to lead them to guard the city The Bailu troops were divided into fifty cavalry to assist in the defense. Marquis Li Yu was selected.  I leave it to you to divide the troops" Li Cunzhong was called by Xiao Yan's name, but he just responded blankly.  When Yue Fei heard that he was staying behind, his expression changed, but he didn't speak.  Han Shizhong raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "We are staying behind. It's nothing to say, but we don't know where Xuanzan is going?" Xiao Yan smiled faintly, met everyone's eyes and said nonchalantly: "Ma Xuanzan and I are naturally leading the white soldiers.  He Shengjie went to Yizhou to rescue people and force Xiao Qian to retreat. Why can't he wait here for them to come? Zhuozhou doesn't have much food and military resources. If they are trapped in it, I don't think they can eat it.  How many days" "Xiao Qian retreated?" Ma Kuo reacted very quickly and asked immediately.  Although he knew it himself.  After capturing Zhuozhou, in addition to sending more than ten cavalry back to Baigou Henan to report the military situation, they also sent out sentries to the west.  But calculating the time, it was too late to rush back to report Xiao Qian's movements.  But along the way, Xiao Yan showed an accurate grasp of the current situation.  It makes people even wonder if there are six Ding and Liujia magic soldiers who are trying to find out about the affairs of Liao Dynasty for him.  As soon as Xiao Yan said these words, people immediately thought that he must have learned that Xiao Qian's army had withdrawn to Yanjing. At most, only Dong Dalang's troops were still near Yizhou!  Three to four hundred of the most elite heavy cavalry of the Baizhen soldiers and light cavalry of the Shengjie army, with Yizhou approaching, and Zhuozhou as a retreat support, were not without the strength to compete with Dong Dalang's troops. According to Xiao Yan's usual adventurous style  , he will naturally lead the West Point!  If it were Xiao ?More than 10,000 elite cavalry are still in Yizhou. If Xiao Yan marches westward with these troops, then he is looking for his own death!  Xiao Yan glanced at Ma Kuo and said with a smile: "How do I know whether Xiao Qian has retreated or not? I only know that if Yizhou cannot be saved. This place of Zhuoyi is the place where the Liao people are in danger together with us. They have Yizhou's actions.  With our support, we can fight for Zhuozhou at any time, and everyone knows when the reinforcements from the rear will march northward! Only by capturing both Zhuozhou and Yizhou can Commander Xuan and the other ministers of the Western Army make up their minds.  , Resolutely go north! This is our mission, and it is also the key to completely overturning this war. Now we have only completed half of it Brother Ma, you have made it through with your head on your waist all the way. This is a great achievement,  Is it okay to give up the achievement that made Qingshi famous at the last moment? "No one doesn't want this achievement, especially when Zhuozhou has been trampled under his feet!  Everyone was dumbfounded. Xiao Yan was really crazy like this. He wanted to lead a few hundred white soldiers and Shengjie troops to challenge Xiao Qian's main force that was still wandering around Yizhou. He also said that he would force the four kings of the Liao army to retreat.  !  What he said was all right. The Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty was divided between Hejian Prefecture and Xiongzhou.  Xuan Shuai Yamen and Xi Jun Xianggong had different opinions.  It is far from enough for them to take decisive action and capture Zhuozhou!  They must have both Zhuoyi and Yanzhou in their hands and the barrier of Yanjing be lost before they can make up their mind and march north decisively.  We are all alone in a dangerous situation. If Yizhou cannot be secured and reinforcements fail to arrive, then Zhuozhou will definitely not be secured either. All our efforts will be in vain!  But with four hundred cavalry, how can we force Xiao Qian¡¯s army to retreat?  This is closer to an impossible task than capturing Zhuozhou!  Li Cunzhong and Qiu Huchen both had ugly faces. They already admired Xiao Yan, but that didn't mean that they would willingly follow Xiao Yan to die.  After all, they were temporarily lent to Xiao Yan by his two husbands, Wang Zhen and Yang Keshi.  In the future, he will definitely return to the service of the two husbands.
