    Chapter 99-100: Holding the Sky (3) Several war horses galloped on the land of Youyan in late autumn.  The annoying autumn rain has almost passed.  Now is the most refreshing day in Youyan land.  The four hooves of the war horse stepped on the ground, stirring up dust and smoke. Looking down from a high place, this arrow of dust and smoke pointed straight to the south.  In the distance, there are small figures on the walls of the Liao people's fort, watching these horses galloping south.  The sun shines down from the sky, illuminating the sky and the earth.  This is really a good weather for fighting.  The horse leaned forward on its back, not feeling the excitement of the autumn day at all. It just kept urging the horse forward.  When he joined the Western Army, he was a cavalry general.  For soldiers, their favorite thing is war horses.  Even if one of his own is wronged, he will never treat his mount badly.  But at this time, he couldn't care anymore.  No matter that the horse under his crotch was soaked in sweat, his chest was heaving violently, and warm saliva was splattering, he still kept applying the whip.  Behind him, several personal guards protected Fang Teng, who was not very good at equestrian skills, and followed him closely.  Fang Teng looked extremely embarrassed, so he simply tied himself tightly to the horse and jolted down the road. This Bianliang talented man who wanted to be a romantic and suave man now had an expression that was worse than death.  It seemed like he could be jolted to death at any time.  In the past, Ma Kuo had taken great care of Fang Teng. He had been serving as a soldier for so many years and had fought with Xixia people, Qiang people, Liao people, and now Jurchens. He had never seen a great Song Dynasty civil servant.  Going deep into the ranks to the front line, risking such a big risk and sharing the joys and sorrows with them, the warriors of the Song Dynasty.  But now he didn't look back, he just leaned on the horse and looked at the oncoming Youyan Land from the south with red eyes.  "Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, where are you? Are you on the way to help?"  Yue Fei and Yue Pengju are still guarding a corner of Gubeikou!  Suddenly, breathless shouts from the guards came from behind: "Praise, praise, Councilor Fang can't do it!" Ma Kuo was shocked and reined in his mount fiercely. The war horse ran away and lost its temper.  He hissed violently and jumped several times before stopping.  When he came back from circling the horse, he saw that several personal guards had dismounted and were untying the rope from Fang Teng's body.  Fang Teng's head hung softly beside the horse's neck, and he didn't know what happened.  Ma Kuo jumped off his horse and ran over, took Fang Teng and shook him several times: "Counsel Fang, Mr. Fang, Brother Fang!" Fang Teng was shaken so hard by him that he woke up leisurely.  He knew his situation very well. When he woke up, he smiled bitterly: "Bai Wuyi is a scholar This is nothing like going out and riding horses in the suburbs of Bianliang. His intestines are about to explode Where are you now? See  Are there any reinforcements coming?" Ma Kuo wiped the sweat from his head and ordered his guards: "No, drink some water, rest for a while, and let the horse breathe slowly before leaving Counselor Fang, we have already left Gubeikou.  After running south for sixty or seventy miles, we are almost at the Tanzhou Administrative Office As for the reinforcements, I haven't seen them yet!" Fang Teng stood up, grinning in pain from his worn thighs, and looked south.  , I saw the winding Qidu River in the distance, sparkling under the autumn sunshine. In these troubled times, no one was setting up nets on the river, and there seemed to be swimming fish jumping out of the water, splashing out a little golden light.  There is fertile soil all around, but when farming has ceased, only the fields near Fukuo still have some golden waves of rice.  To the south of the Qidu River was the city gate of Tanzhou, which was only a few miles away from them.  This important border area, called Yuyang County in the Qin Dynasty, has always been an important town in Youyan. It has hundreds of miles of fertile fields, which can be said to be enough for soldiers and food.  Now it is in such dilapidated condition.  The city gate is also low and dilapidated, and the damaged areas have been blocked up with rocks and large logs. There are more or less farmers working on the land surrounding the city gate.  Tall watchtowers were set up at the four corners of the city gate. From them, ant-like figures could already be seen looking around, ready to issue warnings at any time to let these farmers escape into the city gate.  "The farming season has been lost, and even if Youyan is settled, there will inevitably be a severe famine next year. At that time, the roads are full of refugees, and the disaster is unspeakable With the full support of all roads in Hebei, we may be able to barely survive this difficulty"  Fang Teng looked around and sighed.  Ma Kuo said angrily: "Senior Fang, don't think about what will happen next year. The Jurchens have already broken the news! Tanzhou is an important town. This is enough to cover the mountain passes of Yanshan. The Jurchens will have support based on this.  No matter whether the army is advancing or retreating, it will be very convenient. They will definitely come to fight for it first! Let the people of Tanzhou escape the Jurchen attack first!" Fang Teng still looked weak and looked at the horse.  He took a wide look and murmured: "If Xiao Yan had sent the troops to take over, we would have arrived here by now The Jurchens have already broken through. I don't know how long Gubeikou can hold on. If I want to fight them back,  Only evidenceWith Tanzhou as a support, we can try to recover With Tanzhou as a back-up, we can safely fight the Jurchens near Gubeikou. This place cannot be lost!  " He murmured there, but Ma Kuo looked around irritably. In the end, he couldn't help but yelled: "Xiao Yan didn't send anyone to take over, no!  Even if he set off from Gaoliang River at this time, he would not be able to save Yue Pengju!  Not to mention thinking about Tanzhou, relying on this place to fight the Jurchens!  " He left Yue Fei and evacuated first, escaping from the vast mountains of Yanshan that were soaked in the blood of his brothers. Although there were ten thousand reasons to convince himself, Ma Kuo's heart was still heavy. The only feeling was shame. He started from  The Western Army, with one spear and one horse, was extremely agile and traveled thousands of miles across the Western Qiang. He was also regarded as a thousand-mile horse.  Why did he become a deserter here? Ma Kuo felt that he had no place to vent his anger. What made him most angry was that he had been waiting for Xiao Yan's reinforcements. Ma Kuo asked himself immediately.  Kuo found that what he felt most unfair about was that he could not be the person who could save Song Tianqing. And everyone was fighting desperately to buy time, and what so many good men were counting on was actually this man who had only returned to the south for a few months.  Xiao Yan! All kinds of emotions burst out at the same time. Ma Kuo looked around blankly, tightened the hilt of the sword in his hand, and suddenly shouted, "I'm not leaving.  Not leaving!  Those who are willing to follow me to fight back and live and die with my brothers should follow me!  Reinforcements will never come, and even if they come, they won't be able to make it in time!  " Several personal guards were shocked by his roar. At least in terms of the shame of leaving Gubeikou City, they were the same as Ma Kuo. At this time, the blood in their chests surged, and they were about to pull the reins, stirrup and mount their horses, shouting for answers.  And: ¡°Let¡¯s go back!  Ma Xuanzan, we and our brothers must die together!  " Ma Kuo pulled the reins of his horse with red eyes and looked at the back of Fang Teng who was standing staggeringly. Fang Teng didn't look back, he just looked at the small figure on the wall of Tanzhou Government Office faintly across the Qidu River.  "Senior Fang, please forgive us for not being able to escort you back to the Gaoliang River If we fight back, we will lose the lives of two or three Jurchen Tatars!  Since this is the underworld, there is no need to say goodbye.  Watching our bloody battle in Gubeikou, you will know what kind of person I, Ma Kuo, am!  When we arrived at the Gaoliang River, I told Xiao Xuanzan and the ministers of the Western Army, as well as Tong Xuanmarshal from Baigou Henan, and all the Bianliang people. I, Ma Kuo, watched them from the top of the Great Wall in the north, and I felt aware of them and felt sorry for them.  We, the Song Dynasty, guard the border!  This way, Counselor Fang no longer has to follow us!  " Ma Kuo's words were decisive, but Fang Teng didn't even look back. Ma Kuo cupped his hands towards his back, turned over and was about to get on his horse, without looking back. At this time, Fang Teng suddenly stood up straight, and  He straightened his already extremely dirty look, and his tone returned to his usual calm tone. He pointed towards the south and said, "Ma Xuanzan, wait a minute, take a look at what that is?  Maybe the person everyone thought they couldn't wait for has arrived?  " Fang Teng's voice was not very high, but it made Ma Kuo tremble all over. He froze on the horse's back and slowly turned his head away. The movements of the guards around him were exactly the same, as if  A thousand kilograms of weight is hanging on our heads. We have been looking forward to it countless times during the bloody battle in Gubeikou. What if we finally wait for it this time and it is still empty?  In Ma Kuo's sight, he saw small figures running around on the city wall of Tanzhou government office like ant nests in water. On the watchtower, there were people leaning out and gesturing desperately behind them. Inside the watchtower  The people were also beating the bronze bells and drums they had collected from nowhere. The sound of the golden drums was ringing in confusion, and it reached the place where Ma Kuo and Fang Teng were. The farmers in the nearby fields dropped their farm tools.  As if they were flying, they were also running towards the city gate. The figure responsible for pulling up the suspension bridge on the city gate trench was running around anxiously, fearing that the incoming troops would have already entered the city gate before these farmers entered the city!  It is already a time of complete chaos, and the Liao people's rule can only reach around Yanjing. The other places are trying to survive by themselves. The powerful bandits and bandits in various places either support themselves in strongholds or attack each other to expand their power in the future.  In order to gain a more powerful position in front of the new master, every wall wall of the city has always been so cautious. Whenever there is a large group of soldiers and horses, they will be extremely vigilant and close the city to defend themselves. Tanzhou is an important pass, so it is naturally extremely dangerous.  There is no exception. What caused such a big reaction in the Tanzhou government was the sudden appearance of a group of more than four hundred men and horses in the southern sky. They had bright flags, bright armor, and sharp blades.  Galloping towards the north!nbsp;The marching column composed of more than 400 mounted war horses is actually quite astonishing in momentum, not to mention that this group of people is armed to the teeth by the standards of this era. They are all covered in armor, and their hands are mostly horse bows, bow bags, and bags.  Everything.  At first, there were flags of recognition fluttering for each command, which gave people a visual impact that was far more powerful than the more powerful armed forces on the Youyan land and the bandits and bandits who were not equipped with weapons at this time!  With the sudden appearance of such a powerful army, how can we not make everyone in Tanzhou feel like they are facing a formidable enemy?  The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and when all the farmers who were unable to stay in the fields returned to the city, the guards in the city had already pulled up the trench suspension bridge.  Let the slow-legged people cry and howl outside the trench.  The young and strong people in the city also ran to the top of the city. Those who had swords picked up weapons, those who didn't had wooden sticks, and the guards they had made themselves all moved up. The crenellations of the city wall were densely packed with human heads, showing all vigilance and fear.  His eyes looked at the roaring cavalry!  At this time, Ma Kuo Fang Teng did not care at all about the feelings of those on top of Tanzhou City.  They just widened their eyes desperately and watched this army horse appear from the horizon and come towards them!  The guards behind Ma Kuan made a gurgling sound in their throats, as if they wanted to say something, and more likely they wanted to cheer, but in the end, all they came out was a whimper without a proper tone.  They all recognized that what was coming was the banner of the Shengjie Army and the Shenwu Changsheng Army, and that Xiao Xuanzan had sent reinforcements.  Xiao Xuanzan knew that they were fighting hard, and Xiao Xuanzan came to help them!  Fang Teng turned around calmly, grabbed the reins of his mount and climbed onto the horse. He was still able to brush the dust off his clothes. He muttered to himself: "He's finally here. Is this Xiao Yan really him? Is he really here?"  In this end of the world, the person who can save the world is actually a man who has an inexplicable origin and returns to the south He may not have read many books, and he doesn't go far into the city. He has mediocre skills, and he is just a ruthless guy Or?  He is the only one, and if he wants to save the world, he must do it for the whole Song Dynasty. Who else can do it except this guy of unknown origin?" After muttering, he turned to Ma Kuo who was staying there.  Smiling faintly: "Ma Xuanzan, how are you? The wait is finally here, what should be the next step?" Ma Kuo's chest was heaving violently, but he couldn't say a word.  Hearing Fang Teng's gentle words seemed to wake him up from his disbelief.  He didn't look at anyone, he picked up the reins of his horse and rushed out. The guard behind him slapped him, followed the horse and galloped to meet him.  Fang Teng smiled bitterly behind him, shook his head and sighed: "I can't keep up! Slow down, don't fight for this little time! This is my first time out of Bianliang City, and it is a blessing for the Song Dynasty to be able to hold on until now  "It's gone!" There was a sudden sound in Ma Kuo's ears, and not a single word of Fang Teng's words came through.  There was only a flame tumbling in his chest, and he used all his strength to prevent tears from bursting out of his eyes at this moment!  The person who can save the world is not you, so what?  As long as someone can think about this Song Dynasty, protect this Song Dynasty, and save this situation!  What's wrong with being driven to fight under that man's command?  Xiao Yan is here, Xiao Yan is here!  As long as there is a commander in the Song Dynasty who is willing to fight, then the land of Yanyun will eventually fall into the hands of the Song Dynasty, and this Yanyun Rebellion can be ended!  He shouted loudly: "I am Ma Kuo, I am Ma Kuo! The Jurchen Tatars have already broken in, and Yuhou, the capital of Yue, is fighting bloody battles in the city, and we are breaking out! Gubeikou is in danger, and Yandi is in danger.  , the army of the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty is in danger!  Where is Xiao Xuanzan? I will follow your banner and fight back. If your flag points, I will not turn around until I cross the river!  As they got closer, they saw the scene on the city wall of Tanzhou Governor's Office. No one in the army and horses even looked back sideways, they were just focused on galloping northward.  The scene of Ma Kuan and several people galloping towards here can be clearly seen by all the people and horses who only look to the north.  The sound of the wind tore Ma Kuo's roar into pieces and came intermittently. The first knight slowed down, and the entire team also slowed down, watching intently and listening carefully.  And Ma Kuai and several others used up their last horsepower and galloped to the north bank of Qidu River as fast as they could fly.  The Qidu River is shallow and flows slowly. After the autumn rain, the water is only as deep as the horse's belly.  Ma Kuo ignored the horse and rushed straight into the river, splashing water all over the sky. The water droplets hit his face, and it was no longer possible to tell whether they were sweat or tears. All the shouts turned into one sentence at this time.  talk.  "Xiao Xuanzan, Xiao Xuanzan!" The cavalry on the opposite side finally recognized the figures of Ma Kuo and the others. Several cavalrymen had already come out of the crowd and rushed over. They also jumped into the river without stopping. One person in the lead was standing there.  It was Tang Huai, who had always been taciturn.  ¡°We are here, we are here!¡± ¡°Xiao Xuanzan sent us here!¡±   On September 25th, the fourth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, Tang Huai's troops, who had set out early, met Ma Kuafangteng, who had broken out of the siege, and the army led by Xiao Yan was also galloping on the way.  Going south to the Jurchens, they have already stepped onto Yan Mountain.  The official office where Wang Zhen was in Xiongzhou on that day has now been hung with the flag of the Song Dynasty Third Road to announce the appointment of the envoy.  The security inside and outside Xiongzhou is tight.  Inside and outside the city gate, there were urgent reports and horse deliveries, which continuously conveyed the news from the front, and then transmitted it from Xiongzhou back to Bianliang, the center of the Song Dynasty.  All the officials in Hebei Province who were responsible for transportation gathered here at this time. There were not enough government offices, so they were scattered among the people's houses. At this time, the officials of the Song Dynasty who were pampered and pampered could not say they had to suffer a little hard, and they had to go to the gate early to listen to the drums.  , accept the tasks handed down from Xuan Shuai Yamen one after another.  All roads in Hebei throughout the Song Dynasty have been fully mobilized to support the staggering consumption of the hundreds of thousands of Northern Expedition troops that have reached Gaoliang River.  The always leisurely and elegant lifestyle of the Song Dynasty has long disappeared in the Xiongzhou battlefield.  The Song Dynasty, which was riddled with holes, still had enough strength at this time to support the offensive operations of the Song Dynasty's only remaining elite field force.  Local resources can also be allocated. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Up and down Bianliang, they also paid attention to this Northern Expedition with different purposes.  There are already rumors flowing out from Bianliang. Now, whether eating or sleeping, as soon as the military situation on the Hebei front line arrives, the officials will immediately review it. The officials have even prepared a full ceremony, and once Yanjing is overcome, they will pay tribute to their ancestors.  Temple, show the world!  The various forces fighting openly and secretly in Bianliang are also concerned about the outcome of this war, as far as Tong Guan is concerned.  His status in the court and his future destiny also depend on the outcome of this war.  A combination of various reasons left Xiongzhou City with a solemn and solemn air that was unique to the Song Dynasty.  With Tong Guan's twenty years of experience in caring for the enemy, he was able to devote himself wholeheartedly to this war, and he was still able to arrange everything in an orderly manner, with everyone working conscientiously and everything running efficiently.  Who would have thought that in Xiao Yan's time and space, the facade of the Song Dynasty that could still be supported at the moment would be wiped out four years later with the collapse of this main force in the field, and everything would disappear?  On the streets of the city, the sound of horseshoes and bells rang rapidly.  Several silver medal express horses came galloping towards them, and pedestrians on the road dodged one after another.  He couldn't dodge and was trampled to death. Not only did he not get any reward, but he might even have his family implicated for missing the military plane.  The soldiers on both sides took a look at these silver medal riders. The first one was actually wearing the uniform of the Duyu Marquis. This was already a mid-level military attach¨¦ of the Song Dynasty. It was the first time he had seen him doing such a job.  Could it be that there was another big change ahead?  This question arises in everyone's mind.  However, these rides didn't make them think too much. They swept past them like the wind, stirring up dust and smoke all over the ground.  A hawker who was still selling soup at the corner of the road was coughed twice by the smoke and dust, and whispered in a low voice: "God, this war has been over long ago. If it takes more time, this Xiongzhou will live forever."  This city in the Song Dynasty was at the top of the world in terms of civilization. Not only did it have a complete water supply and drainage system, but there were also many paved stone roads in the city, which would be replaced every few years.  Compared to the Tang Dynasty, when people could grow wheat in the open space in front of the palace, the ground was gray on sunny days and mud on rainy days. It was like heaven and earth.  At this time, those cities in the dark European Middle Ages that were full of dirty mud, water, plague and the Black Death were places where even the beggars of the Song Dynasty were unwilling to stay.  But in order to facilitate the urgent delivery of these silver medals, all the stone roads in Xiongzhou City were dug out and transported away, and smooth sand was added to the roads every day.  Tong Guan, who was devoted to this war, took into account such subtleties as the horse's hoof being injured on the hard road. The Song Army did not have many horses for express delivery. If the transmission of military information was delayed because of this injury, it would be better to  There was a lot of construction work going on in Xiongzhou City. As for the feelings of the people of the Song Dynasty who were accustomed to comfort and hygiene, Tong Xuanshuai would not think too much about it.  These silver medals rushed straight to the place where Tong Guan's government office was located. The people guarding the government office were no longer the Shengjie Army.  All of these Shengjie troops had long been assigned to Xiao Yan's command by Tong Guan. Even Wang Zhen, who was now serving under Liu Yanqing's account, only had a few foot soldiers under his command to support his appearance.  The people currently guarding the government office are the children of the Forbidden Army brought out from Bianliang by Cai You, deputy envoy of Xuanfu.  All of them lazily stood guard near the government office, barely maintaining the appearance of concentrating on guarding.  Now that the war has reached its most critical moment, the officials are concerned about this.  Cai You can no longer hide in Zhending Mansion and sing about the wind and the moon. He can only hold his nose and suffer here together with Tong Guan.  Poor Xianggong Cai has never been so close to a dangerous place in his life. It is said that he has never slept well these days.  Several urgent couriers arrived in front of the Yamen Office, threw their saddles and dismounted, and the first one was the Marquis of Yu.Holding the silver medal high, he loudly reported: "I am the silver medal sent by Lieutenant Liu to deliver the silver medal urgently! Everyone is leading the way. I have urgent military matters to meet with the Commander-in-Chief!" A Forbidden Army officer sat on a leather stool with his legs crossed, as if  His ears were shaken by the loud voice of this dusty Western Army officer, and he raised his head angrily: "You don't know the rules? What kind of military information? Send it to the General Administration Department of Xuan Shuai Yamen, and then go back to where you came from. I still miss you, Master."  Will I treat you to a drink?¡± The Du Yuhou envoy was startled, lowered his voice, and said in a begging tone: ¡°This Dudu, I have been ordered by Lieutenant Liu to report to the Commander-in-Chief face-to-face  Occasionally, the silver medal is delivered urgently, so I hope you can inform me that this is an urgent matter and cannot be delayed. If I make any mistakes, Lieutenant Liu will chop off my head when I get back!" The officer of the imperial army said:  "In Xiongzhou City, if more than a dozen silver medals are not delivered urgently, everyone will ask the master to pass them on. Is this day going to be over or not? Come to Xiongzhou to take advantage of the situation. The masters are already full of jealousy, and they still want to give it to you.  These Westerners, Mr. Liu Qiuba, know me, but I don¡¯t know him! If you were more successful in Baigou, why don¡¯t you go to the General Affairs Department and go to the General Affairs Department?¡±  Du Yuhou tried his best to suppress his anger. He was under Liu Yanqing's strict order to bring back the great changes on the front line, and he also had Liu Yanqing's personal written notice with him.  There has been a near-collapse change ahead. No matter how unbearable their surrounding Qing army is, they are still at the forefront. They are ready to cross the river for a bloody battle at any time. These Forbidden Army troops coming out of Bianliang would not be able to survive if it were not for the decades of experience of the Western Army on the border.  Have you ever lived such an arrogant life in a bloody battle?  Regardless of victory or defeat, their Huanqing Army saw battles and lost people.  The more than 20,000 imperial troops brought out by Cai You from Bianliang were always given double rewards of money and silk, but not a single soldier was seen. They went to the front line for a moment!  The Du Yuhou envoy took out a few money coins from his sleeves and turned around to signal. Several couriers understood and endured their anger and dug out their pockets. They collected a bunch of money coins and presented them with both hands: "The military affairs are urgent and we are really unprepared.  I beg you to forgive me, please spread the word, I know all about this favor, and it will be rewarded in the future" The Forbidden Army officer laughed, reached out and knocked off the stack of money: "Straight bitch, if  Gold and jewelry, I might even take a look, what is this money worth?  "Yes, the master just won't sell this favor, so what?" The anger of Marquis Duyu finally burst out, and he pushed the Imperial Army officer away with a slap in the face. The slap was so heavy that the guy's face turned purple immediately.  Get up, take steps and walk inside.  Several Huanqing Army sergeants followed closely behind him. The Imperial Guards soldiers reacted and wanted to take action, but they were thrown out by these Shaanxi men.  After throwing out a few people, the rest did not dare to come forward. They just swarmed around and shouted: "But if there is you, there will be no me! We boys will fight against the few heroes who are not here, otherwise we will tear your bones to make a fire."  "The envoy of Nadu Yu shouted loudly: "The Jurchen Tatars have already broken through and will soon march to Hebei to fight the king of the Liao army. If we hadn't been at the front, I would have asked you to do it one by one.  The Jurchen Tatars were kidnapped and sent to herd sheep! Compared to you, Xiao Xuanzan is lawless, but he is an upright man!" Although there were many soldiers in the Imperial Guard, none of them had the guts to step forward and take action, not even the Imperial Army soldier who received a slap.  The officer could only hold his face and shout vaguely: "Good fight, good fight! I see how many of your heads are worth cutting off!" A group of people almost escorted these silver medals straight to Xuan Shuai's office.  .  The envoy Yu Yu had already risked his life anyway. When he walked into the government office, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Xuan Shuai, Xuan Shuai! Liu Taiwei's silver medal military information is urgently delivered. The Jurchens have broken in! Xiao Xuanzan went north, Liu  The Taiwei is about to cross the river and go north, before the Jurchen Tatars go south, to fight Xiao Qian, the leader of the Liao army!" "Xuanshuai, Xuanshuai, the military situation is urgent!" This Xuanshuai government office is not as good as the Hejian Mansion.  .  They were only a few meters away from each other, and the loud voices of these fighting men really shook the roof.  More and more Forbidden Soldiers came, and some of them had already picked up weapons.  Several silver medalists glanced at each other hurriedly, and they all stood back to back with the Du Yuhou envoy guard in the middle, pulled out the weapons from their waists, and stared at the incoming Imperial Guards soldiers with eager eyes.  Inside and outside the courtyard, there were a lot of shouts: "Take it down, take it down!" But even though they shouted loudly, not a single Imperial Guard soldier came forward.  Then Lord Yu knew what was going on today. It was a knife attack to raise his head, and it was also a knife knife to shrink his head. He straightened his neck and roared with all his strength, and his face was almost swollen and bleeding.  "Commander Xuan, Commander Xuan, the military situation is urgent!" Suddenly there was the sound of clumsy footsteps at the door of the inner courtyard, and then more than a dozen personal guards of the Forbidden Army were seen striding out to guard Tong Guan. Tong Guan was not wearing an official robe, just a  Wearing a soap shirt and a rhinoceros belt, with dark circles under his eyes, it seemed that he had not had a good rest for several days. He looked at the chaos in front of him with an angry face and shouted: "Everyone, retreat"Got it!  " The Forbidden Army soldiers dispersed muttering, but they didn't even like to pay attention to Tong Guan's words. For the Forbidden Army, the official family came first, followed by Gao Taiwei, who led the third yamen of the Forbidden Army. Cai led them out of Bianliang  Deputy Ambassador Xuanfu saw that everyone was Bianliangzi and had a good relationship with him. As for the old eunuch who had been living next to him for 20 years, everyone had to bow his head and make trouble.  After the shooting, you Tong Guan will do your side work, and everyone will go back to Bianliang to be happy. Tong Guan didn't bother to pay attention to the imperial troops who were not needed anyway, and just looked directly at the silver medals and asked: "The Jurchen went south?  " Nadu Yuhou's envoy rushed forward to worship and fell down. His voice changed and he kowtowed frequently: "Commander Xuan, the Jurchens have gone south!  Xiao Xuanzan's outpost at Gubeikou has reported military information, and the Jurchens are heading south in a big way!  During the military meeting a few days ago, Xiao Xuanzan ignored the overall situation and led the front army north to support Gubeikou!  Lieutenant Liu warned the villain not to enter the shop for hundreds of miles and urgently delivered military information. All the ministers agreed that before the Jurchens went south, they must cross the river and fight decisively to capture Yanjing!  I beg Xuan Commander for his permission, and for Xuan Commander to punish Xiao Xuanzan for acting without authorization, and to bring the former army under Liu Taiwei¡¯s control!  " As he spoke, he handed over Liu Yanqing's personal letter of departure with both hands. When Tong Guan heard the news that the sky was falling and the earth was falling, his body remained motionless. His face was as sinking as water, and he slowly took Liu Yanqing's handwritten note.  Written by Yanqing. These imperial soldiers who only knew how to work around in Bianliang did not understand, but Tong Guan understood what it meant that the Jurchens went south! It meant that the alliance with the Jurchens had been broken.  In addition to the Liao people, the enemy has another Jurchen who has just emerged and is unstoppable! This means that there will be countless variables in the war in Yanjing. If the Jurchens sweep south, he will not be able to capture Yanjing.  This place may no longer be accessible to him. And behind his childhood, there are so many forces that are eyeing him. They want to get back to the center of power by overthrowing his childhood.  The dream of becoming a king has become a waste of time! The corruption of this war has made the Yanyun Land continue to become a thorn in the side of the Song Dynasty, not to mention the source of chaos in the future, which is too long.  It seems that there is no end in sight in the dark tunnel If they can't win Yanjing, what will the extremely eager officials think of him? Why did Jurchen go south, relying on him as the main force, even at the risk of death?  How could Xiao Yan, who was trying to save Liu Yanqing's face and let him act independently, go against his Tong Guan's will, abandon Yanjing, and go to fight the Jurchens instead?  Defeat Xiao Qian and capture Yanjing? This cavalry army, in addition to the Song Dynasty Jinghua Bailu soldiers and the Shengjie army, also has the Shenwu Changsheng army who knows the terrain of Youyan mountains and rivers. It can play the role of a surprise force and can decide this.  The fate of this battle! Xiao Yan, don¡¯t you know that taking over Yanjing as soon as possible before the Jurchens go south completely disrupts the situation is the only way I, Tong, can temporarily deal with the enemy¡¯s open and covert attacks?  If you can capture Yanjing as quickly as possible, whether it's cutting land or making money, there is always a way to deal with the Jurchens! "You are acting like this, are you still relying on your husband in the court? Do you have to force me, Tong, to fall?"  ? There is nothing more sinister than this!
