    Chapter 113: Can the Heaven be Reversed (11) Can the Heaven be Reversed?  Standing outside Tanzhou City Gate, everyone¡¯s heart was heavy.  And they finally waited until Han Shizhong's light cavalry rushed in. They were still a little worried, so they simply asked the Bailu soldiers to stay behind to follow up. Xiao Yan, who only brought dozens of personal guards, also flew to the Tanzhou area, and Han Shizhong was able to calm down.  In Tanzhou, the fireworks in the city have not been extinguished yet. The refugees are still filling the city. The sound of crying is shaking the sky. Xiao Yan's cavalry has already arrived in the city.  After hearing the news, everyone in the city immediately rushed out of the south gate of Tanzhou.  Watching the flag that truly represented Xiao Yan's arrival appeared in front of his eyes.  The protagonists of this drama have finally arrived.  Ma Kuo has been seriously injured and can no longer support himself. Now he has managed to find a place in Tanzhou City to accommodate him.  Han Shizhong, who arrived here, became the one who temporarily made the decision. He wanted to send Ma Kuo to a quieter place behind.  Ma Kuo refused to do it. He would rather lie here. At that time, he was still holding Han Shizhong's hand, holding it so tightly that he didn't look like a seriously injured person.  "Po Han Wu, if you dare to send me down, I will spit in your face! So many good brothers are following me to bury their bones in the north. The Jurchens will not retreat. If I go down first, I will die of shame! I have already escaped at Gubeikou.  I must not escape again this time! I am the envoy of the Xuanfu government, and my mission is bigger than yours. How dare you send me down?" This person was not the only one who gave Han Shizhong a headache, there was also Tang Huai.  This guy is definitely not a particularly smart person, but once he sees something right, few people can pull him back and seize Tanzhou. Tang Huai, who has always been quiet and unobtrusive, takes all the credit.  Great man.  If it weren't for his sharp shot, how could he have blocked Dong Dalang for a moment? Taking advantage of the chaos, Ma Kuo and the others captured the city gate.  If it weren't for his magic shot, the iron gate mechanism on the city wall would have fallen down long ago, and the Song Army brigade would have been cut into two parts. The consequences are obvious.  Even Chu Laosi, the leader of Tanzhou's rebellion and one of the great thieves in Yanshan, was nailed to the city gate tower by a powerful arrow he shot from his mouth!  As soon as Chu Laosi died, the rebellion broke into chaos. Only seven or eight hundred people could be gathered to cooperate with Dong Dalang's troops and the Song army to seize the city gate.  That's why the Song army held on for so long and still had the strength to fight when the Jurchens arrived. Finally, Han Shizhong and the others arrived!  Although Ma Kuo was seriously injured, he still praised Tang Huai in front of Han Shizhong, saying that he would protect this marksman general in front of Xiao Yan and in the future in front of Commander Xuan.  However, Tang Huai did not appreciate this kindness at all. As soon as Han Shizhong arrived, he rushed down from the city gate tower covered in blood, stared at Han Shizhong with red eyes, and said to each other: "The army is coming, Han is coming."  Marquis Yu, give me a soldier, I will go to Gubeikou to pick up Yue Fei's brother!" Han Shizhong comforted him, but Tang Huai refused to let him go. He kept pestering Han Shizhong, asking for soldiers to pick up Yue Fei.  It is still a hundred miles away from Tanzhou to Gubeikou.  The female main force has not been damaged, and now several days have passed, and the existence of Gubeikou is unknown.  I don¡¯t even know how many Jurchen soldiers and horses came here.  Although Han Shizhong was a tough and agile man who was not afraid of death, but when the main force of the victorious army arrived, they were already depleted of men and horses. How could he dare to agree to easily throw the only elite light cavalry of the Song Dynasty into an unpredictable and dangerous place?  Besides, he is not the one who calls the shots here!  Regarding Tang Huai's entanglement, Han Shizhong's head seemed to have grown bigger since he entered the city. In the city, he used to patrol the city defenses, comfort the refugees, count and capture, and almost captured people, hiding wherever he could.  Tang Huai also went all over the city to find Han Shizhong, and the two of them seemed to be playing hide-and-seek.  Xiao Yan's outpost rider brought news of his arrival. Han Shizhong breathed a sigh of relief. He would leave this troublesome matter to Xiao Yan.  From now on, when he splashes Han Wu, he will not go around when he sees this man, who is also bored with gourd soup.  The injuries of the others were much less serious than those of the horses, but they can still hold on. They are all waiting outside the south gate of Tanzhou.  Everyone is not in a relaxed mood.  There were two hundred Song troops at Gubeikou. They rebelled against Dong Dalang's troops in Tanzhou City and fought with the Jurchens. There were also four hundred elite soldiers.  These are brave men selected from the Victorious Army and the Shenwu Evervictorious Army.  The Zhen Jurchen could only go south for four hundred people, but together with Dong Dalang, they had already caused a bloody storm near Youyan.  Of these six hundred light cavalry warriors, only two hundred are left in good condition. I don¡¯t know if there are two hundred left!  The main force of the Jurchens was not lost, so Dong Dalang could get excited and make trouble at any time and pull out another group of troops.  Xiao Yan's unit was already the only mobile force in the Song Dynasty, and it had already hated Liu Yanqing, the commander of the Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition.  It can be said that we are isolated and helpless here. It is really difficult to predict what methods we will use against them in the future. We are in a place that has not been ruled by the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, where the people's customs are strong and people's minds are changing. There are strong enemies in front of us and no help behind.  Look around and see enemies everywhere.  Can the sky that has collapsed from the north be restored with one hand?  Everything depends on Xiao Yan, Xiao Xuanzan, who has finally arrived at the front line of the northern border.?Can you hold on and create another miracle?  Xiao Yan looked up at the top of Tanzhou City and saw the group of people waiting for him at the gate of the city. He also felt heavy in his heart.  Among this group of people, there is no longer Ma Kuo or Yue Fei.  Han Shizhong accompanied him, followed by Zhang Xian.  This pretty boy's face was ten times uglier than his own.  Yue Fei is now in Gubeikou, not sure whether he is alive or dead.  And Ma Kuo, who had fought so hard in Tanzhou, was relieved to have died.  That somewhat eccentric Bianliangzi Fang Teng followed the army. I originally thought that he would not be able to bear the hardship and would be back halfway, but who knew that he would endure until the end.  And he also tried his best!  After a great battle, Tanzhou City had become half-destroyed. Above and below the city, inside and outside the trenches, everywhere you looked, there were corpses.  After being captured, Dong Dalang's troops and the powerful private soldiers from Youyan border collected the corpses and put out the fire under the supervision of the Song army. Piles of people surrounded the people carrying the corpses, crying and shouting.  , this miserable cry just echoed in the smoke.  Seeing this scene, you know how miserable the battle in Tanzhou was.  Not to mention how Ma Kuoyuefei and the others managed to survive in Gubeikou that day!  They finally waited for their arrival, and it can be said that they lived up to their expectations, and every decision they made was justified.  This time he went north and made a huge sacrifice, almost severing the friendship he had worked so hard to forge in front of Tong Guan in the Song Dynasty. God knows what means Tong Guan would use to deal with him.  But, did you come a little late?  This thought swirled in Xiao Yan's heart.  I can't get rid of it.  It turns out that in general, he has no airs at all and is always smiling.  In this era, no matter which country's famous generals and ministers usually have the majesty and dignity, there is not even half of it.  In the camp, as long as there is nothing to worry about, you can always get together with your subordinates to laugh and chat, one is to have a good relationship, and the other is to learn the accent of the Song Dynasty in this era.  The provincial general came to Bianliang and was treated as a countryman. Unknown to him, he had learned a dialect of the Shaanxi dialect of the Song Dynasty.  It is probably for this reason, plus at the critical moment, the teeth can be pushed to the front with just one bite.  Xiao Yancai was so popular with the army, and he could take arrogant and capable generals like Bailu soldiers and Shengjie soldiers wherever he wanted. Even if he went north as a lone soldier, not many would gossip.  But at this time, his face was as hard as stone, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed like it was about to drip.  Not even a light word could be said.  These soldiers have not failed him since they followed him to the north.  Not from beginning to end, not in any desperate situation!  And what should I do to live up to them?  Zhang Xian followed Xiao Yan closely, his face equally gloomy.  Even Han Shizhong, who was usually the most carefree and carefree, kept his mouth shut.  The battle in Tanzhou was too brutal, and Yue Fei's current whereabouts were not clear at all.  Everyone has some resentment in their hearts, some of it is directed at Xiao Yan, but most of them are directed at themselves.  Why can¡¯t we come earlier?  Fang Teng, on the other hand, looked as usual at this time. Except for being a little thinner and haggard, and looking freely while riding a horse, he had regained some of the charm of a Bianliang scholar.  He doesn't look like someone who has just struggled out of a near-death situation twice.  He and Han Shizhong walked forward for seven or eight miles together and met Xiao Yan.  It's not that he and Xiao Yan really have such a deep friendship.  But about the situation ahead, Xiao Yan, the commander-in-chief heading north, must be informed as soon as possible.  Han Shizhong wanted to report the situation in Tanzhou, but Ma Kuo was seriously injured. Only Fang Teng could tell Xiao Yan the situation of the Gubeikou war.  Along the way, Han Shizhong didn't say a few words and stopped talking after describing the situation. Fang Teng, on the other hand, kept chattering. After talking about the Gubeikou War, he talked about his experience in the first half of the Tanzhou War, and then talked about the mountains and terrain of the Youyan border.  Guiding Jiangshan didn't look as embarrassed as he did to respond to the arrival of Han Shizhong and the others.  While talking, Fang Teng looked at Xiao Yan coldly.  Naturally, he had his own plans in mind. Xiao Yan was here.  But in such a situation, we have to see what kind of ability and magnanimity Xiao Yan has and what kind of means he can use to save the situation!  His arrival can only show that he is not a vulgar person and has the overall situation in mind.  You can also ignore reputation and reputation.  But it still depends on what kind of skills he has to prove whether he is the right person!  After so much experience, Fang Teng has become hardened.  My mind is much more stoic than before.  If in the past he could see more clearly, but he could do nothing, so he had to pretend to be crazy and escape from the world, and complained aggressively in the book.  Now he has firmed up his decision to help the lucky person to save this apocalypse!  "Xiao Yan, are you the right person? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ???Of course I don't know what the pretty boy from Bianliang next to me is thinking, who looks even more handsome than me.  He even selectively pretended not to hear anything Fang Teng said, except about the Gubeikou War and the Tanzhou War.  I just wonder why this guy is so energetic.  As we were about to reach the gate of Tanzhou City, several generals waiting outside the gate had already galloped towards us.  Fang Teng asked coldly: "How is Commander Xuan? How is Commander-in-Chief? Is there any hindrance to Xuan Zan's coming?" Xiao Yan was startled, looked at Fang Teng, and shook his head: "What do you think? Do you think this is the case?  Is it easy to come here? You came from Bianliang, and the boss knows this better than me I said, Brother Fang, do you have a problem with me? After all, I am here to fight, not to avoid war, no.  It's such a big sin" Fang Teng laughed loudly: "I'm not that capable! I'm afraid that during this trip, Mr. Xuan Zan, Liu Taiwei and Xuan Shuai were given a lot of support.  , they should be like two black-eyed roosters. The students can't speak in front of Liu Taiwei and Xuan Shuai! Xiao Xuanzan, don't you really know the reason why Mr. Xuanzhong supports you so much?  " Xiao Yan glanced at Fang Teng indifferently and changed the topic: "Counsel Fang, I can't hear you talking about Commander Xuan. Xiao's success today is probably due to Commander Xuan's promotion As for the old and small species,  I don't know what my husband thinks, and I don't want to know. After cleaning up this place, I still have to go back to the army. As long as I can capture Yanjing, I will be able to expose everything. That's my plan. Now I have it all.  Come on, Councilor Fang, please stop trying to figure out my thoughts." After Xiao Yan said this, he rode forward.  But Fang Teng's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Xuanzan is not optimistic about the response methods of Commander Xuan and Lieutenant Liu after the Jurchens go south? Is Xiao Xuanzan worried that they will cross the river rashly?  The decisive battle with Xiao Qian is ahead of schedule, but because everyone in the army still has their own thoughts, and without your troops, the prospects of the battle will not be much better? Is Xiao Xuanzan so confident that he can defeat such a powerful Jurchen?  , plus Dong Dalang, who knew the inside story of Yandi, fought back in a short period of time, and then couldn't return again, as the savior of the Northern Expedition? In this way, Xiao Xuanzan was a little too confident in his own abilities.  !" Xiao Yan turned around and looked at Fang Teng.  This Fang Teng appeared inexplicably, and his position was inexplicable. It was also inexplicable to follow Ma Kuoyuefei and the others north. As soon as they met, he repeatedly tested his plan, which was even more inexplicable!  Han Shizhong and Zhang Xian also looked over. Han Shizhong's eyes were full of questioning, and he almost asked Fang Teng together.  This Po Hanwu followed Xiao Yan northward, and he was well aware of Xiao Yan's situation.  He finally went north, but how determined was he to fight this war to the end? Did he have the ability and confidence to deal with the enemies in front and behind, and even Tong Guan, Liu Yanqing and the others?  They were the ones who followed Xiao Yan. Although they had no complaints or regrets, they resolutely followed the order and went north, not caring about the tough battles they were about to face.  But everyone's fate is also tied to Xiao Yan. He, Han Shizhong, doesn't want to end up with Xiao Yan after fighting so hard!  Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, are you worth it for us to follow you and fight to the end?  Do you have the ability, the magnanimity, the confidence to save Tian Qing!  Looking north at the bloodstains on the top of Tanzhou City, looking at the lingering fireworks in the city, they seem to be rolling up into the sky.  Everything around them is busy, with Yanshan in front and Yanjing behind. They are fighting against the enemy alone, with two enemies in front and behind.  Xiao Yan suddenly reined in his horse and suddenly understood the thoughts of the people around him.  This question was something he asked himself repeatedly in his mind along the way.  He finally chose the most difficult path to face the Yanyun Rebellion in the last days.  Did I overestimate my capabilities, think too highly of myself, and want to change history too much, so I made such a decision?  Are you capable of doing the job?  ¡°In the final analysis, I am just a useless white-collar worker.  Since time travel, times have forced us to create some miracles.  He has become a figure that attracts attention at home and abroad, but the situation in front of him has become extremely bad. Is the path he has chosen right or wrong? Where will he lead these soldiers who will fight bloody battles with me to the end?  But when I saw the flag of the Song Army flying high on the top of the Tanzhou city, and heard what Fang Teng had recounted about the bloody battle between Yue Fei and the others at Gubeikou, and what Han Shizhong told me about the fierce battle in Tanzhou where they sacrificed their lives.  These Song soldiers, these Han warriors, never took a step back.  They can fight, they dare to fight.  In Xiao Yan¡¯s time and space, it¡¯s just that no one led them to fight to the end in the final years of Xuanhe and the humiliation of Jingkang four years later!  And what they have been waiting for is Xiao XiaoWord!  ¡°In the twenty-six years of my life before I traveled through time, I had never been so expected by anyone, never been killed a hundred times, and murmured my name even with my last breath.  Never before when he saw his flag appear, there was a good man, showing a happy smile, twisting the enemies around him, and falling into the dust together!  Hearing what Han Shizhong and Fang Teng said, at that moment, Xiao Yan only felt that something was burning deep in his soul.  Since time traveling, I have been moving forward with all my strength.  But more than anything, it may be to survive.  Perhaps with the addition of a high-sounding pretense to live up to this life.  Now I see Tanzhou, these athletes who fought to the end, these bloody stains, and this unyielding flag flying.  Xiao Yancai seemed to wake up from a dream that had always been a bit unrealistic since time travel. ????????????????????? Bring these men with you to save your fate in this apocalyptic world!  ¡°I have indeed chosen the most difficult path, but I have to break out of this bloody road to put an end to Yanyun¡¯s troubled times and save the overall situation!  Since you have made such a decision, why do you still think about killing Tong Guanzhihuan and worry about what means he will use to deal with you?  Are you worried about whether you can defeat the Jurchens? Are you worried about whether you can finally capture Yanjing?  Since it came at the right time, I will save the world.  Facing Fang Teng¡¯s questioning, Xiao Yan finally just smiled lightly and said nothing.  In the gazes cast by everyone, everyone saw that the expression on his face relaxed, and all the gloomy and worried look on his face disappeared.  No one could tell what exactly had changed on him, but as his back straightened on the horse, everyone couldn't help but follow his movements and straighten their backs.  Fang Teng¡¯s eyes brightened and he stared at Xiao Yan without saying a word.  Xiao Yan turned to look at him and cursed with a smile: "Fuck, what's so good about it? You have to tell the truth in my mouth, right? Well, I can't control what other people do stupidly. What means will be used later?  I don't care about dealing with you. The only thing I care about is the good men of the Song Dynasty who died in the battle in Gubeikou, Tanzhou, and Zhuozhou Yizhou. Come to me for everything! Look at me Xiao Yan!  Can you handle it! Jurchen, I want to repel it, Yanjing, I will still ride on the city! I have this confidence!" As soon as he finished speaking, he shook the reins and took the lead.  He came out and ran straight to Tanzhou City Pass. Before stepping onto the blood-stained suspension bridge, Xiao Yan reined in his horse fiercely, and the horse stood upright. Xiao Yan actually controlled the horse steadily, and swung out with the rising mount.  He put on the most heroic appearance, turned around and said with a smile: "Why don't you follow? We don't have much time!" In the team behind, Han Shizhong and Fang Teng looked at each other, and both of them laughed.  They all shook their reins and followed.  The dull atmosphere of Xiao Yan's personal bodyguard team that followed behind them disappeared unconsciously.  The coach has decided to face all challenges and just follow the path of his choice. Since they have followed, they should continue to follow!  Everyone feels this way, Xiao Yan will not let them down!  At the other end of the suspension bridge, Tang Huai and Yu Jiang were waiting, and they both stared blankly at Xiao Yan's sudden pose.  The two people looked at each other thoughtfully and immediately crossed the suspension bridge.  Yu Jiang is experienced in battles, and this battle was the only one he had ever experienced in his life.  The mood was a bit low.  Yu Jiang saw with his own eyes how Ma Kuo formed beside him.  However, Xiao Yan, who was obsessed with Ma Kuai, advanced his troops straight to Gubeikou and drove the Jurchen troops back. This old pawn was not very optimistic.  Tanzhou is a place of support. All we need to do is hold on to it.  The Jurchens cannot go south easily.  Even defending here does not require many soldiers and horses. The Jurchen army did not come in many, and they did not carry offensive equipment. I have not heard that the Jurchens are good at attacking cities.  The Jurchens destroyed so many famous cities in Daliao. It was probably at the end of the Liao Dynasty that they were in extreme decline. They had been holding on to the scene before. Because the unprecedented defeat at the guard post was also completely stripped away. The Jurchen cavalry behind them probably started to attack as soon as they arrived.  The city surrendered, but few fought hard.  Now that Tanzhou has been secured and Xiao Yan¡¯s journey to the north has been completed, why not quickly turn around and go south to rob Yanjing?  Why go north to fight with the Jurchens?  Yu Jiang followed a lot of generals, and they were just fooling around for two hours a day.  He knew very well what this troubled hero was thinking.  The soldiers below are working hard, which is nothing more than a stepping stone to their fame.  Ma Kuo worked so hard, I'm afraid he couldn't wait for any good results But when he saw Xiao Yan reining up his horse in front of Tanzhou City in high spirits, turning around and beckoning everyone to follow him, Yu Jiang felt something in his heart  My thoughts disappeared unconsciously.  Tang Huai came up to greet him, and they jumped off their horses to salute Xiao Yan.  ?Jiang Jiang had a wound on his leg. He almost fell to the ground when he fell off his horse. Facing Xiao Yan's gaze, he thought of the bitter battle at the head of Tanzhou City and the name of Xiao Xuanzan that everyone still chanted after fighting to the death. This man who had experienced many things in the world  The old soldier suddenly couldn't help but his eyes were wet: "Xiao Xuanzan, you are finally here!" Xiao Yan also turned over and dismounted, and lifted up the general of the Victory Army who was his first prisoner: "I'm here  It¡¯s late! I¡¯m sorry to all of you! Fortunately, I¡¯m finally here, and I will only walk in front of you from now on!¡± Yu Jiang finally couldn¡¯t help but cry: ¡°Ma Xuanzan¡­ Ma Xuanzan¡­¡± Xiao Yan patted his shoulder and smiled.  Said: "I know Ma Kuo, it's not that easy to die! If Yanjing is gone and the Jurchen Tatars are not driven out, how can he be willing to close his eyes? This guy has a long life! Come on, let's go in and see him together!"  Turning to Tang Huai, he also patted his shoulder: "What a sharpshooter! What name should I give you? Xiao Li Guang, Sai Youji? Zhang Xian followed me and came first. Niu Gao and the white soldiers are behind. You three  Tell me carefully, there will be another time in the future when you can help. Next time, I will watch you shoot down the enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops!" Tang Huai was beside Yu Jiang. He wanted to say something but kept saying no.  At the exit, Xiao Yan turned to look at him, and he suddenly knelt down with a plop: "Praise, praise! Save my brother Yue! I know that the army cannot advance lightly, can you give me a soldier, I will be at the forefront!  Why didn't we get brother Yue out? He's still fighting to the death at Gubeikou. I know it!" Xiao Yan was startled and quickly picked him up, dusted him off, and said with a noncommittal smile: "Let's go in and talk.  It's not you who are in the forefront this time, it's me. Otherwise, wouldn't my trip be in vain?" Tang Huai looked at Xiao Yan blankly, confused.  The meaning inside.  Just as he was blushing and ready to kneel down and beg, Fang Teng and Han Shizhong had arrived, and they both got off their horses.  As soon as he saw Tang Huai's appearance, Han Shizhong knew that this boring gourd was about to offend, and it would be bad if he offended Xiao Yan.  Busily smiling, he came up to smooth things over: "Go in and talk, go in and talk! How can there be any reason to block Xiao Xuanzan at the city gate? This is the third Daliaozhou county we have captured with Xiao Xuanzan. How can Xiao Xuanzan  Don¡¯t you want to take a closer look? ¡­If it weren¡¯t for the deadly battle between Yu Dutou and Tang Yuhou, as well as Ma Xuanzan, how could we have captured Tanzhou like this? When I came here, I couldn¡¯t believe that the banner of the Song Dynasty was in Tanzhou.  At the head of Zhoucheng! There were all kinds of prisoners captured, including the dock wall and the general. It was a pity that there were no Jurchen Tatars in total, and there were five or six captured.  Hundreds of war horses and the city's reserves. Although some of them were burned, the rest will be enough for us and the people of Tanzhou to feed them for three or two months. The people of Tanzhou still have a lot of them. We exchange their husbands for food and transport them.  It's almost enough. Xiao Xuanzan, we can fight here for a few months, but we will be exhausted with the Jurchen Tatars! I am afraid that Liu Taiwei and the others did not expect that we would have a place to rely on so soon.  Right? If you don¡¯t give us any help, we¡¯ll just grab it ourselves! There¡¯s another surprising thing. Although the thief Dong Dalang escaped again, most of his belongings are here.  I've seen the old soldiers, they are all veterans who have survived many battles. They all have horses. At that time, they said they could just run away, but they left Dong Dalang and were willing to wait here.  Come on! Dong Dalang, without these old soldiers, will have less energy to fight. Maybe next time, he can take off this guy's head!" Han Shizhong said as he separated Xiao Yan and Tang Huai.  , calmly pushed Tang Huai away and led Xiao Yan inside.  Tang Huai is a guy who can shoot arrows but can't be a subordinate.  Don't make it to the end. If a great achievement is not achieved, it would be too unfair.  Hearing his last few words, Xiao Yan was startled, and turned to look at Han Shizhong: "Dong Dalang's confidants really did it all to escape with him, but they all surrendered here?" He just asked casually, but saw Yu Jiang beside him thinking  Whatever he said, he smiled at Yu Jiang and said: "Yu Dutou Damn it, I'm going north against the order now, and I don't know where I am. Otherwise, you deserve to be punished just for your great achievements."  At least one battalion of Yu Hou Envoys have been sent to report Gong Lang. Let¡¯s discuss the merits later and see who can say anything then! If you have anything to say, just say it.  You are shrinking, you are a general of the Song Dynasty!" Yu Jiang's expression changed, and he turned around to capture Yanjing?  Is Xiao Yan still thinking about Yanjing?  Is it possible that he really wants to leave troops to defend Tanzhou or turn back?  ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s none of his business anyway.  However, the concern for him in Xiao Yan's words also moved him quite a bit. The words "Warlord of the Song Dynasty" made his waist stiffen unconsciously.  Even so, he still subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yan's direct relatives and confidants around him, gritted his teeth and finally spoke: "Xuanzan, I know all those veterans of Dong Dalang. They are all struggling in troubled times.Man, in this world, whoever gives you food to eat and who cares a little bit will be grateful for the rest of his life.  If they didn't have this grateful heart, how could they have followed Dong Dalang's father and worked so hard all their lives?  If it hadn't been for what Dong Dalang did, it was really chilling, and they would never have surrendered here" At this point, Yu Jiang hesitated again, and finally his heart crossed: "Xuanzan, these old soldiers are all  After a hundred battles for the rest of their lives, they are all capable warriors.  Our Shenwu Evervictorious Army had just returned to the Song Dynasty. To be honest, the elite were either killed or injured following Guo Yaoshi during the Zhuozhou Yizhou Incident, or they ran away with Dong Dalang.  The rest of us are all tall men pulled out from the inside. Compared with the elites of the Song Dynasty, such as Shengjie Army and Bailu Bing, we are really ashamed and cannot be of much use. If we can get them as the backbone, we can recruit You  There are scattered troops and horses in Yanbian, and the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army will be much stronger!  There are soldiers and horses on the border of Youyan, and Xuanzan is still facing a series of battles. One more point of help is just one point!  " After saying this, Yu Jiang wanted to slap himself. Xiao Yan mainly relied on the Shengjie Army and the Bailu Army. Now he was advocating to expand the strength of the Shenwu Changsheng Army. They were all surrendering, so they were not afraid of Xiao  Yan suspected that they had different intentions. Why did he do this? Xiao Yan was startled again. No one dared to say anything at this moment. Only Fang Teng looked at Xiao Yan slightly.  Nodding. Xiao Yan muttered in his heart: "What are you nodding at?"  I and you can't get along with each other. Even if you are showing kindness to them on behalf of the old and small species, I don't dare to provoke you.  Not enough trouble?  You may not be kind to me Why does this kid seem to be leaning towards me?  " No matter how confident Xiao Yan was, he didn't dare to imagine that he could get a scholar-bureaucrat from the Song Dynasty to serve him at this moment. He was just a descendant from the south. This civil official title was based on outstanding achievements. The emperor of the Zhao family was old  Son, he was rewarded in a moment of joy. His true status was still very different from the scholar-bureaucrat group that controlled all aspects of the Song Dynasty. How to establish relations with them was also a matter of the future. This strange feeling only passed through his mind.  . Only he can make a decision about Dong Dalang's surrender. Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and shouted: "Where are they?"  Take me to see it!  " Dozens of silent men are carrying the corpses in the trench. These dozens of big men are Dong Dalang's confidants. But I'm afraid I have to add the word "before." Back then, Dong Clown was recruited to become a member of the Resentment Army.  The commander of the battalion selected eight hundred athletes from among thousands of hungry people in the Yan land to become his personal leader Xiao Rui. After fighting in the north for many years, he went through many hardships and dangers. Now, there are only a few dozen of these eight hundred athletes left.  Dong Xiaoxiu was killed, but they still followed Dong Dalang loyally. If Medicine Master Guo hadn't wanted to regain these people, he probably wouldn't have accepted Dong Dalang as a fake, and wouldn't have let Dong Dalang cause such a big disturbance in the end!  Later, they followed Dong Dalang to join the Jurchens. Although their morale was low, they still followed Dong Dalang and fought hard. It was only at this moment that they seemed to understand what kind of domineering Dong Dalang they had been loyally following.  , but he has his own heroic demeanor, decisive in killing, and he will do what he says, and he will never let his subordinates die for others. The reason why the Liao court was unwilling to attack the Ping Dynasty with flesh and blood was because of the lack of attacking equipment and heavy baggage.  The rebels in Hepingzhou were increasingly persecuted by the Liao court, so they became angry and colluded with the rebels in Hepingzhou. They were planning to cause rebellion together, and were captured and killed by Medicine Master Guo. But what about Dong Dalang?  His subordinates all looked generous and courteous, but after going through so much, I realized that apart from his ambition and decisiveness in killing, nothing about this Dong Dalang could compare to Dong Xiuqiu!  Needless to say, if you swallow your anger in front of the real person, your death will be in vain. Since going south, Dong Dalang has suffered successive defeats and is no longer willing to maintain false politeness to his subordinates. In order to win Tanzhou, he made a comeback.  Ambition, everyone knows that he will not hesitate to fill in all his subordinates, as long as his status can be maintained, as long as he can get the Jurchens' full support for him! Struggling to survive alone is the most difficult thing, no matter what it is.  From a physical or psychological point of view, the commander they followed is even more desperate. The debt owed to Dong Xiujiu has been paid off, and now everyone should be on their own.  The expressions on their faces at this moment were not good at all. They were both worried and desperate. After fighting so many times with these Song troops, both sides knew who they were and had a lot of hatred.  Although the Song army did not kill them immediately, they also attacked them.Beware of extreme indifference.  They were not allowed to approach the south gate where Song troops often entered and exited, and they were moved to the west gate to clean the battlefield and remove corpses.  After a night, they were not allowed to sleep, and they were not given anything to eat. They were very thirsty, so they had to pick up a few sips of cleaner water in the ditch.  The people of Tanzhou were so harmed by Dong Dalang's misfortune that those who had lost their family members were crying and cursing not far away from them all night long.  If it weren't for the murderous aura of these scarred men who had experienced hundreds of battles, which made the people still a little afraid, they might have pounced on them and beaten them to death!  Everyone believes that the Song Army will never stop these people!  As the sky gradually became brighter, they saw a group of Song soldiers, flying the banner with the character "Xiao", galloping towards the south gate of Tanzhou.  Everyone knows that this army defeated them at the gate of Yizhou City, drove Dong Dalang, who almost occupied the two states of Zhuoyi, all the way to the Jurchens, and then blocked them at Gubeikou and Tanzhou, forcing them to end up like this.  Commander-in-Chief Xiao of the Great Song Dynasty Cavalry has arrived!  And they no longer have any illusions about their own destiny.  The figure of the Song Army commander surnamed Xiao stopped for a moment outside the south gate and walked around to them before entering the city.  These dozens of men stopped what they were doing, looked at each other, and forced a smile.  They followed Dong Dalang southward and caused such disturbances, causing the Song army to fall into bitter battles again and again.  It's time to die now!  "Forget it, just go to Huangquan, find old commander Dong Xiuqiu, and talk to him about his son!"  Not long after, the commander-in-chief of the Song Army arrived here surrounded by dozens of horsemen. He looked down at them, most of their bodies soaked in the water, and they were delivering the corpses to the outside of the trench.  Most of these people lowered their heads, waiting for their final fate, but some people raised their heads for the last time and took a look at the commander surnamed Xiao.  In Yizhou, Gubeikou, and Tanzhou, either he went into battle in person, or his troops appeared and defeated them again and again, but they had never seen this person before. Even if they were waiting to die at this moment, they had to understand this  What did the southern general who completely crushed them look like!  In their eyes, Xiao Yan looked like a young white-collar worker. Although he was considered tall at this time, the training of these days had also given him a bit of weathering. After commanding the army for several months, he naturally gained dignity.  tolerance.  He is really not that old, not to mention that he is worse than the heroes they have seen such as Dong Xiu, Guo Yaoshi, Xiao Qian, Zong Han, Yin Keshu and others, but also compared to Dong Dalang's fierceness and the commander-in-chief's demeanor of joining the army at the age of fourteen. , it¡¯s still not as good as it should be.  He also didn't have the calmness that naturally comes from having experienced hundreds of battles. I really don't know how they lost to him again and again!  Some people also saw Xiao Yan next to Xiao Yan. This Yu crotch, who everyone looked down upon back then, was now wearing armor and a war robe, with red tassels fluttering on his iron helmet, looking like a general of the Song Dynasty.  Seeing their situation, Yu Jiang turned around and just ignored them.  Compared with that day, the status of everyone and Yu Jiang has changed dramatically. With such fate, what can I say?  Xiao Yan immediately stood beside Hao, facing the unruly looks of some of Dong Dalang's subordinates.  He smiled bitterly in his heart. He naturally knew what these people were thinking.  The generals around me are not willing to say a word at this moment.  Yu Jiang wished he had never said what he just said.  Zhang Xian followed Xiao Yan. At this time, he took a step forward and was about to block Xiao Yan.  However, Xiao Yan waved his hand and drove him behind.  He looked at these old soldiers and suddenly asked: "Do you know why you ended up like this?" There was silence for a while, and the tallest man said proudly: "The successful ones are princes and the defeated are thieves. What can you say? We are all the same.  The hungry people of Yan formed an army and followed a few generals. We have always been helpless, unlike you, who has the Song Dynasty as a backer. If you lose, you will lose!  Now, what else can you say? If you want to kill or behead us, please don¡¯t torture them!¡± Xiao Yan chuckled: ¡°Don¡¯t you have Jurchen as your backer? And you can leave if you lose.  Leave Dong Dalang and surrender?" The tall man was stunned, and then retorted: "The Jurchen is a foreigner, who is our backer! It's just a matter of pulling Dong Dalang down, let alone him.  For a long time, the kindness has been repaid, but there is no need for me to say anything to him now!" Xiao Yan shouted loudly: "You also know that the Jurchens are foreigners!  What a waste! We need the Song Dynasty to block the Jurchen aliens you have attracted! You also know that you are Han people! I tell you, the Song Dynasty is not our backer, but our responsibility!  When the land of the Han family is in danger of being devastated, there will always be men from the Han family who will stand up.In the future, just like those men you met on the battlefield, risk your life so that the people of the Han family will not become like Tanzhou today!  This is the point where you lose to us again and again!  "The tall man was shocked, lowered his head and stopped talking. Then he raised his head again: "Of course we know that we are Han people, but how many years has the Han court ignored us?  We are struggling to survive on our own. Where did we go wrong?  Anyway, in the end, we no longer followed the Jurchens. Now we are in your hands. You can do whatever you want with it.  No need to say much else!  " Behind him, Yu Jiang could no longer hold back and shouted: "Zhang Ganshan, you dare to contradict Xiao Xuanzan like this, but you want to die quickly?  I will help you!  " Xiao Yan stretched out his hand to stop him again, and smiled: "Zhang Ganshan, what a prestigious name What happened today is that you are Han people, and besides, you broke into the city, robbed and killed people, you didn't have much blood on your hands.  , can give you a chance.  The second thing is that you did not follow the Jurchens and were willing to be the hawks and dogs of the alien race. There is a way to forgive So, I will spare you!  From then on, he obeyed orders under the command of Yu Yuhou, the commander of Shenwu's ever-victorious army!  " After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he turned his horse and was about to leave, but turned around and sneered loudly: "Don't think that you can fight and survive. That's why I will forgive you.  I want you to atone for your sins on the battlefield!  Yu Jiang, from now on, let them be at the front of the hardest jobs and the most dangerous battle formations!  After enough blood has been shed, enough people have died, and enough strength has been exerted, maybe you can still be Han Chinese. Then I will see what way out I can arrange for you. Now, you are just using your blood to continue begging for a living.  That¡¯s all!  " Having said that, Xiao Yan turned around and left. Dozens of riders immediately surrounded him across the ditch and went straight into the city gate. In the ditch, these men stood there blankly. They couldn't believe the sudden turn of events. Only Yu Jiang took several riders with him.  Standing there with a sullen face, he ordered loudly: "You straight bitch, you all understand what Xuan Zan said!  Quickly clean up this place so that you can have food to eat, otherwise you will be drinking mud soup here!  Regarding my heart, none of you can survive!  "The grown man Zhang Ganshan stared at Yu Jiang fiercely, lowered his head sharply, and started working harder on the work in his hands. Everyone around him also reacted, and there was a sudden sound of water splashing in the ditch. People.  Everyone exerted all their energy. Xiao Yan here, without looking back, seemed to have just made the most trivial arrangement, sparing the lives of a few ants in his fingers, and seemed to be able to take care of this at any time.  The matter was forgotten and would never be remembered again in the future, but those who knew him, such as Han Shizhong, or those who were smart like Fang Teng, knew in their hearts that Xiao Yan could not help but smile from the back of his head.  For the rest of his life, some old soldiers who knew the inside story of the Jurchens were the most valuable assets in this war. With them as the backbone, they could subdue the powerful forces in the surrounding areas.  I'm afraid that the Shenwu Changsheng Army will be able to expand by one or two thousand Qingqi in the blink of an eye. These are not the Shengjie Army and Bailu soldiers that will be returned in the future. They are Xiao Yan's direct descendants. Now Xiao Yan is waiting for him in the lonely army and the whole world!  In battle, every extra point of strength is worth it. Where can they find such a good thing? As they expected, Xiao Yan took the lead, but he was trying his best to hold back the pride in his heart.  , he did not expect to use a single word to make them change their minds and follow him loyally from then on. It was just to use them and give them a way to survive. These men who abandoned Dong Dalang and knew nothing except fighting would not follow him.  , What else can I do? To be honest, I'm afraid these subordinates can't understand it. Just make your behavior look high-sounding and slowly assimilate them.  Just be in the army. It is estimated that it will not be too difficult for these guys who have nowhere to go. Since going north, although I have been pretending to be an ostrich and not thinking about it, these things in front of me are still nothing.  Good news! When Xiao Yan was feeling great and could no longer hold back his laughter, Tang Huai, who was behind him, stopped him with his horse regardless of Han Shizhong's intention or unintentional, and chased him in a circle, then spoke softly.  He spoke: "Xuanzan" Xiao Yan suppressed his smile again. He looked back at Tang Huai and raised his hand to signal him not to continue: "I know what you want to say, go to Ma Xuanzan first, I will  Of course there is an explanation!  " The best official office in Tanzhou City was moved in by Ma Kuan. This was naturally Wang Yaksha's residence before. When Wang Yaksha was a bandit, he was fond of drinking, gambling and being high-spirited, but he was not very fond of women. Everyone was fond of women.  You know, he doesn't have much money at home, he's just an old bachelor. When the city is in chaos, he has few ideas of rebelling here, maybe because he still has a sense of awe in his heart.After several calamities of fire, Tanzhou City was beaten to pieces, but it turned out to be the most complete place here.  Ma Kuo was seriously injured. He had several broken bones, countless wounds, large and small, and internal injuries from being struck by a blunt instrument.  Even though he was wearing heavy armor and had Yu Jiang to protect him, he was in excellent physical condition, but he could no longer hold up.  As soon as the battle was over, he fell to the ground, and everyone rushed to him. He was given any kind of wound medicine, internal or external, and the broken bones were splinted and splinted, and he was carried to the government office like a phoenix.  Outside the government office, dozens of Shengjie soldiers were guarding the area. No one was allowed to make any noise outside the government office. Those who did so would not be polite.  Ma Kuo is already a hero in everyone's eyes, not just because of the official position he proclaimed.  Everyone hopes that Ma Kuo can survive unharmed!  To everyone¡¯s surprise, when the sky became brighter, Ma Kuo woke up slowly and could still manage to speak.  Once he woke up, he asked his servants to cook meat porridge for him.  This man seemed to know that he could not die at this moment and must recover as soon as possible. He still wanted to participate in this war and contribute his share of strength!  After serving him a meal of meat porridge, the personal guards around him heard the thunderous sound of hoofbeats outside the government office.  Ma Kuo's eyes lit up: "Has Xiao Xuanzan arrived?" No one told him that Xiao Yan had arrived in Tanzhou in advance, but Ma Kuo had this hunch. If Xiao Yan really wanted to save the situation, it would be time to arrive now.  !  Everyone has been waiting for him for too long!  Before the guard could answer, he heard Xiao Yan's smiling voice coming from outside the door: "Brother Ma, Brother Ma, I'm late! If you want to hit, scold, or even kick me, I'll be waiting! But you have to first  Get up and talk, I won't wait until it's too late!" As he spoke, he heard the sound of boots and bags. Xiao Yan took the lead and strode in with several generals.  The two hadn't seen each other for some time, and it goes without saying that Ma Kuo was haggard and injured.  Even Xiao Yan, who had been worried about the past few days and traveled all the way, had a weathered look on his face. He had lost a lot of weight, and his face looked more clear-cut.  When the two separated last time, both sides had knots in their hearts.  Xiao Yan only wanted Yanjing, but Ma Kuo wanted to go north.  The two had different opinions and it was a bit embarrassing.  But when he saw it today, Xiao Yan completely put aside the depression in his chest and felt refreshed, as if what he was facing was just a small disturbance, and Xiao Yan could completely handle it!  Ma Kuo¡¯s eyes lit up. Xiao Yan¡¯s performance at this time was far beyond his best expectations!  " If Xiao Yan comes here, looking like he is bitter and sorry for them, and even feels guilty, this is not what Ma Kuo wants to see.  Everyone is focused on this battle, and there are no grudges involved.  If Xiao Yan didn't give him two hundred soldiers, and he didn't give him a confidant like Yue Fei, even if Yanshan broke the news, what would it have to do with Xiao Yan?  After all, he was partly responsible for putting Xiao Yan in this dilemma!  If Xiao Yan looks guilty, he will naturally lose the majesty of an army commander, and the generals below will also be suspicious of him.  In this war, he may not have the authority to let his soldiers fight to the end.  He Ma Kuo, fighting to the death here, is not trying to decide who is right or wrong with Xiao Yan!  Now it seems that Xiao Yan also understands this truth very well. No matter what he thinks, at least he looks calm now!  Xiao Yan came here, bringing the main elite troops originally arranged by Tong Guan to seize Yanjing to go north to become Jurchens.  It¡¯s entirely conceivable how many hardships and obstacles he went through behind the scenes.  No one knows what tactics Tong Guan will resort to if he is disappointed.  In front of him was the Jurchen enemy, and behind him was the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty who no longer supported him.  Being in a different place, Ma Kuo asked himself that he would also feel extremely stressed and difficult to resolve.  However, as the commander-in-chief of an army, he leads his troops in such a dangerous place, with no support behind and a fierce battle ahead.  The coach has a frown on his face, so how can he have the confidence to fight to the death?  But Xiao Yan just did it, with a completely nonchalant look on his face. From the moment he arrived in Tanzhou, none of the myriad concerns that had tortured him could be expressed in words.  Above!  This is really enough to qualify as a commander of an army or even better!  Recalling their first meeting in Xiongzhou that day, Xiao Yan tried to stay calm and tried his best to deal with the situation between him and Yang Keshi Wang Zhen.  However, he always appears to be uneasy, a little green, and even a little incompatible with the Song Dynasty. It really feels like he is in another world.  At this moment, the last worry that weighed on Ma Kuo's heart disappeared.  Xiao Yan smiled at him, and Ma Kuo also tried his best to nod and smile at Xiao Yan.  ??This one and the other, the two most dazzling young people under Tong Guan's command, Xuan Zan, will never go against their hearts.  Since everyone has chosen the same most difficult path, just keep going!  I will lead everyone to save the situation, believe me!  ? ??Nature will follow you closely, even if you are shattered to pieces and die!  Even if I am seriously injured on the bed now, as long as you give the order, I will still jump up, follow your flag and charge forward, never looking back!  " Xiao Yan smiled faintly and finally talked about the topic that everyone was most concerned about. Everyone was actually waiting for him to talk about it. Everyone had their own answer in their heart.  "Brother Ma, you came from Gubeikou. You know the situation there best. Can Yue Fei still be able to hold on? Is he still there now? Do you want to deal with him? How to deal with it?" Everyone in the field was stunned.  Hold your breath.  Xiao Yan is the coach, and Ma Kuo is also the one who praises him. The two of them here are the ones who make the final decision. Their words can affect Yue Fei's life or death!  Ma Kuo was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Don't go!"
