    Chapter 128: Killing the King (3) Bursts of beacon smoke are rolling wildly on the land of Youyan. The three forces are all fighting against each other as this war is coming to an end, which is also the most intense and cruel end.  At each time, they make their own arrangements according to their own wishes and calculations.  If there is one person who can be in the clouds at this moment, he can see everything in the land of Youyan.  You can see countless armies under various banners, moving south and north, attacking, defending, and hiding.  It stirred up dust and smoke that filled the Youyan land.  The fate of the three countries, the ambitions of countless heroes, and the fate of countless people are all tied to this war, just waiting for the final showdown!  And Xiao Yan, leading the army, went north to the foot of Yan Mountain. He was about to start a final battle with the Jurchens and completely drive them out of the land of Youyan. But even he knew that there was not much time left for him.  .  Perhaps the war with the Jurchens will be his last battle in this era. In the future, he will fall to the bottom of his destiny in his new life in this era.  But I can no longer give up the feeling of commanding an army and dominating the world!  Is this fate still in your own hands?  Or should we just let that thief God arrange us?  In the darkness of the night, Xiao Yan took a few personal guards and stood up high, looking at the dotted campfires on the camp of the army under his command.  Now Xiao Yan¡¯s men may have been fighting in this extremely vast Yan land for a long time.  The fighting and camping style is a bit like the Northland Army Horse.  The camp was no longer as neat and tidy as the Song army's, and was as solid as a turtle shell. The enemy couldn't get in until it was time to move out, and he couldn't get out much.  The camp is densely packed with arrow towers.  On the contrary, in the camp, enough paths were left for the cavalry to launch a counterattack, and the sentries were also placed very far away.  Even at night, the battlefield controlled was quite vast, leaving enough time for the entire army to react.  Xiao Yan's army also advanced very quickly. Under the leadership of local soldiers who were familiar with the terrain, in just two days, they had already come into contact with the sentinels sent south by the Jurchens.  However, unknown information quickly spread. These Jurchen sentry agents were not even interested in engaging in an outpost battle with the small group of Song army sentry agents. They were not even willing to test the reality of Xiao Yan's army heading north.  As soon as they made contact, they shrank back and retreated directly behind the wall of the dock where they joined together at the foot of Yanshan Mountain.  The Song Army troops advanced forward and set up camp in front of the dock walls.  However, the Jurchen soldiers and horses had no intention of fighting with them in the field, nor did they all shrink into the wall of the dock.  If the Song army goes to siege the dock wall, it will try to extract these key points.  First, these local powerful men have been operating these docks for hundreds of years, and they are extremely strong, no less than a small city.  When Xiao Yan went north, the cavalry army was the main force. He did not carry many offensive equipment, so it was difficult to pull them off suddenly.  And during the siege, the troops were spread out, and the concentrated Jurchen cavalry would attack at any time.  When the time comes, it will be Xiao Yan's troops who are dampened!  At that time, the war here will be even more protracted!  "If we cross these dock walls and go deep into the vicinity of Gubeikou, we can seek to fight with the Jurchen cavalry in the field, or even attack Gubeikou, block the Jurchen cavalry's retreat, and cut off their return.  However, these dock walls that lie across the path of the Song army's advance will definitely not sit back and watch Xiao Yan advance and retreat freely like last time, and they will only attack Xiao Yan's retreat.  Thousands of troops and horses are eaten by people every day, which is a huge number. Once the relief route is cut off, I am afraid that it will not even be possible to evacuate!  The most realistic way to deal with this is to hold on to a stalemate. When the Jurchens feel that they can fight, the two sides will fight with their main forces and fight out a mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood. The winner will get this land!  At this moment, Xiao Yan was not afraid at all of fighting with the Jurchen troops and horses who had received reinforcements.  He has had so many adventures since time travel, and has faced so many life-and-death situations, not to mention the era he traveled to, and even the veterans of this era may not be able to compare with them.  The mind is sharpened, not to mention as hard as steel, at least it is at the level of pig iron.  But he didn¡¯t have time to continue to stalemate with the Jurchen Tatars here!  Since moving north, the nightmare scenario that everyone has been worried about has become a reality.  The Jurchens are worthy of being a fighting nation. The meaning of this fighting nation is not only to be able to fight fiercely, but also to have a strong body that can fight dozens of times in a battle. Moreover, due to the harsh living environment, they are faced with people stronger than them every day.  Hundreds of years of oppression by many forces, in the struggle for survival, in the hunting of daily life, have honed a good sense of the battlefield, and the leading generals are all above the average level of this era, and can according to the war situation  , make the most reasonable decision.  When Xiao Yan went north, he originally expected the Jurchen soldiers and horses to be arrogant and engage in continuous large and small battles near Gubeikou. His own soldiers and horses, as well as Yue Fei, an invincible general, fought fiercely.?After dampening their spirits.  They will be so angry that they want to get this place back, win consecutive battles, and destroy the Liao Dynasty. These Jurchen soldiers and horses should be more or less arrogant.  If he goes north to challenge again, the Jurchens will most likely take the initiative to accept the challenge, and then the outcome will be determined by a battle.  Who would have known that near Gubeikou, with a disadvantaged force, he repeatedly attacked the array listed under his command, almost beating Xiao Yan and his soldiers to death, and the extremely ferocious Jurchen horse was actually in his army.  When heading north, unable to retreat, the field soldiers and horses even shrank behind the cover line formed by the Wubi Fort. They coldly watched their army in the darkness, showing no intention of impatiently seeking a fight.  No matter whether they are moving or silent, these Jurchen soldiers and horses are terrifying enough.  Even the Jurchen army who had calmed down was three points more terrifying than them who were fighting desperately on the battlefield!  Behind the actions of the Jurchens, Xiao Yan could almost smell the scent of the Jurchen commander Yin Keshu.  All the famous generals who have left their reputation in history are indeed extraordinary.  My talent in the battle formation is high enough.  But in the eyes of such famous generals, he can infer that the person is inseparable based on clues, and almost subconsciously make the most correct response, putting himself in a dilemma.  It can now be said that the initiative on the battlefield fell into the hands of the retreating Jurchen troops heading south!  Damn it, why didn¡¯t I chop that bastard to death with one knife that day!  This guy has a lot of luck and is really difficult to deal with!  That day, Da Ya seemed to be looking at two Jurchen commanders. If this war was commanded by another fucking Jurchen commander, and he met two famous generals, he really wouldn't have to mess around In the eyes of the guards, Xiao Yan  With a calm expression on his face, he stared coldly at the small dock wall fortresses in the darkness to the north, and the dark mountain shadows of Yanshan Mountain further away.  It seems that all changes in this land are under his control.  And the winning ticket is already in hand.  Who would have thought that in Xiao Yan's heart, he was so depressed that he was cursing his mother, and he couldn't do anything for a while.  The confidence of the soldiers under his command in Xiao Yan has been completely established in so many battles.  Except for some keen-minded senior generals in charge of the army, most of the others just saw the splendid appearance of their own troops and horses on the way north, and saw the Jurchen sentries retreating at the slightest contact with them.  Those light cavalrymen from the Diaoer Camp had brocade ribbons flying under their marten hats. These light cavalrymen from the Diaoer Camp could even go to the fortress guarded by Jurchen soldiers and horses to show off their equestrian skills, show their majesty, and shout challenges.  All the enemy's responses were weak and weak. Almost all the Song Dynasty troops marching north had already entered the battlefield. With Tanzhou as their support, the supplies were plentiful and there was no shortage.  Even the weather only had the kind of slight chill that could cheer people up. Coupled with the commander-in-chief who had brought them countless victories and glory, the chaos caused by the Jurchens in Youyan border heading south was finally determined.  It's just a matter of care!  Under the hill, the sound of war horses neighing was heard.  Although Xiao Yan's camp occupies a large area, there are many campfires.  Under the scattered firelight, he saw a horse and a horse galloping towards him as if he were flying.  The first person, with long hands and feet, and a tall body, was Han Shizhong.  Behind him were those Qingqi troops from the Shengjie Army wearing ermine hats. Since they went north, they had really gained enough limelight and become the object of everyone's most jealousy.  After the battle with the Jurchens, these Qingqi who called themselves Diaoer Camp seemed to have improved to a higher level.  Courageous, hot-tempered, spread far and fast.  They spent the whole day sitting and lying on their horses, and asked Youyan's local Qingqi to teach them the habits of the nomadic people outside the Great Wall.  These hundreds of light cavalry all look a bit like those elite rangers with barbarian origins outside the Great Wall.  Under the distant firelight, the fine brocade ribbons fluttering under these mink hats reflected a faint light in the night.  In the blink of an eye, Han Shizhong had led dozens of knights from Diaoer Camp to Xiao Yan.  Han Shizhong's men and horses were dripping with sweat. They dismounted and fell heavily to the ground.  He looked at Xiao Yan with cold eyes.  Han Shizhong wiped his sweat, shook his head and said: "No! Our sentinels have been sent out far away, and some of them have gone deep to the north of those Wubi fortresses. The Jurchen Tatars are just avoiding the battle! I have led more than a dozen of them by myself.  Qingqi went to the largest fortress guarded by the Jurchen Tatars, dismounted, drank, and shouted curses. There was no sound behind the wall, and they didn't even bother to return an arrow. The Jurchen Tatars were really calm!  Angry! My old Han is not lucky. Last time I went north to catch up with the earth-shattering battle, but this time I went north, but I met the Jurchen Tatars again! " Han Shizhong is definitely a master who is unwilling to be lonely.  After serving as a lieutenant in Tanzhou, he was also depressed.  At the beginning of his journey north, he was still cautious in carrying out his mission, which was almost in charge of both the light and heavy cavalry armies under Xiao Yan.  DayingAfter finishing the meal, it was safe and sound, and the Jurchens were silent again.  He was eager to take charge of Qingqi and personally participated in the front sentry reconnaissance. He said that as a general, he should be familiar with the battlefield situation.  However, when Xiao Yan looked at them, it seemed that he was coveting the mink hats of the victorious soldiers who marched north alone, and wanted to kill a few Jurchen Tatars and get one for himself to show his prestige.  Xiao Yan couldn't be beaten by him. He was in the army and was not in serious trouble, so he simply let him out. During these two days, Han Shizhong vigorously led the Qingqi to spread out sentries and worked extremely hard.  It is easy not to return to the camp.  However, he deployed the light cavalry sentinels both boldly and carefully. The situation on the surrounding battlefield was continuously reported back from the outposts.  He even went deep into the north of the Wubi forts and almost caught the main force of the Jurchen cavalry who had retreated to the north. However, the mountains to the north were vast, and the Jurchen cavalry came and went like the wind. They would never settle in one place for more than half a day. In the blink of an eye,  Then disappeared.  Xiao Yan stared at Han Shizhong, who couldn't help shaking his head, and asked in a low voice: "Can't you capture the main force of the Tatars?" Han Shizhong coughed and shook his head heavily: "Fighting in the wild is what the Tatars are best at. They  If you want to avoid the war, Yanshan has the support of the fortress wall, so you can't easily touch their shadow! I was in the Western Army, and I was near Hengshan that day. It was also extremely difficult to touch the main field force of Xinu. Xuan Zan,  This road won't work!" Seeing Xiao Yan's ugly face, he muttered again: "Yue Pengju also led a group of Qingqi out to scout. He hasn't come back yet. He has dealt with the Tatars a lot. Maybe he has some experience. Let's see where he is.  , is there any good news" Halfway through his words of comfort, Han Shizhong couldn't help but add with a grin: "Look, Yue Pengju can't go that way!" Behind Han Shizhong was the Diaoerying Qingqi, I don't know.  Xiao Yan was in a dilemma.  It was not a military discussion at this time. Xiao Yan had always been generous to his subordinates who had fought with him and rarely acted like the commander of an army.  They were in high spirits, and went out to scout, and were invincible. The Jurchen Tatars did not dare to challenge, and they were all in high spirits.  They were dismounting their horses and walking, some of them hung food bags on the horses¡¯ ears to feed them.  They all laughed and spoke.  "Xuanzan, it seems that the Tatars were frightened by us in that battle! Their commander-in-chief was killed by Xiao Xuanzan to the point of death. How can they dare to challenge us? If they can't catch the main force of the Tatars in the field, they will pull the ball down.  We will pull out their turtle shells! These Bird Forts will be leveled in a few days. Once they reach Gubeikou, the Tatars will either fight us or retreat from Gubeikou like birds!" "  You bastard, I really didn¡¯t expect the Tatars to be so ferocious just a few days ago. Those things with silver-like wax spears! I¡¯ll look at it and they¡¯ll just attack the city for help.  , Just hit him!" "But having said that, those turtle shells are extremely strong, no worse than some small cities. The defensive equipment on them is full, and it takes about ten days to build the attacking equipment. Who let us do that?  I didn¡¯t bring anything with me! The craftsmen who know how to make these attacking tools are almost all in our Western Army¡¯s brigade. Our infantry are all made by the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army and these local tycoons. We have to use them.  It's useless, I don't know yet I just want to bypass this place and go straight to Gubeikou. I heard Ma Xuanzan said that the city defense at Gubeikou is not complete, and it is a small pass, and I can't put a few Tatars there.  We just worked hard and captured Gubeikou. With their escape route cut off, the Tatars were in panic and had no choice but to run for their lives! " "Good idea! Challenge here. The Tatars are relying on the strength of the turtle shell and will not come out to challenge. They will attack the retreat at Gubeikou.  , can they retract into their mother's belly? Either run for their lives or refuse to fight, it's all playing into our hands!" These Diao'er battalion Qingqi were talking happily, making the guards around Xiao Yan look at him excitedly.  Some of the personal guards had never followed Xiao Yan in the collision with the Jurchen Tatars.  I also wanted to get a mink hat and wear it.  I wish Xiao Yan could make a decision soon so that he could live and die with the Tatars.  But Xiao Yan¡¯s face was gloomy and he didn¡¯t say a word.  These light cavalry are talking about various ways to win this war.  But no matter which one you choose, it will take time.  To capture those turtle shells, as long as the Tatars coerce the local powerful to defend them, it will be a huge effort to capture them.  Forging attacking tools and attacking repeatedly, it has always taken a long time to remove a solid city defense system in this era.  If we attack directly at Gubeikou, we need to take good care of our retreat. After all, there are not only a thousand people who can be hit and run away by light cavalry.  In the event of an attack at Gubeikou, people and horse chews would have to be transported from the rear.  The only possible way is to build your own forts on the rear supply lines, one to monitor the enemy's forts, and the other to cover your own food routes.  If you have this time, you might as well attack your opponent's fortress directly!  The Jurchen Tatars are obviously holding themselves back, waiting for reinforcements, etc.After being dragged out in the wilderness for a long time and having low morale, I decided to try again.  As I said before, no matter how many Jurchen Tatar reinforcements came, Xiao Yan would not be afraid of fighting them.  But what he lacks now is time!  He deliberately did not inquire about the Gaoliang River.  However, with the supplies promised by Lao Zhong, sporadic baggage teams always entered Tanzhou when they were in Tanzhou.  While sighing at the ability of Xiao Yan and the others, they conquered such an important city as soon as they arrived in the North, and even had a head-on confrontation with the Jurchen Tatars. Xiao Yan even personally killed the commander of the world-famous Jurchen Tatar army!  However, when asked about what happened in the back camp, these old generals were vague, saying that they didn't know, and they didn't bring any news. Although they were worried about it, they occasionally flashed Guo's father.  There was a female figure, but at this time, Xiao Yan really didn't have much thought to take care of them.  On the other hand, the following news was also brought. Liu Yanqing has made a decision. Within a few days, he will cross the Gaoliang River and attack Yanjing!  The final war between Song and Liao will probably break out within seven or eight days.  And he was still hanging alone on the edge of the Youyan, unable to ask for a fight!  In this era, it¡¯s time to fight.  Xiao Yan actually didn't take his own life very seriously.  But that sense of mission is getting stronger and stronger.  He could not fall in the political struggle of the Song Dynasty.  So many athletes and warriors who died because of him are waiting in the sky to see how he can save this apocalyptic world!  Otherwise, why would you want to travel through time?  "I must rush back to Yanjing in time to seize this great achievement that belongs to me in the first place!"  Seeing Xiao Yan's face getting darker and darker, Han Shizhong knew something about his thoughts, and reluctantly advised: "Wait for Yue Pengju, wait for Yue Pengju to come back, and see if there is any good news" After saying this, even Han Shizhong himself did not hesitate.  believe.  The Jurchens are almost a nation on horseback, coming and going like the wind.  Even if Yue Fei and you, Lao Han, have a bright nose, they can touch the main field force of the Jurchen Tatars far to the north.  But when I report back, I don¡¯t know where the others have gone.  Where can I find the advantage of fighting them early?  After discovering that the Jurchen Tatars had adopted the strategy of holding tight and watching the battlefield quietly, Xiao Yan's first reaction was to seize their main field force and seek to defeat the main field force of the Tatars first, and then his army could come and go.  It would not be a bad idea to rush straight to Gubeikou to block the Jurchen Tatars' retreat.  But the Jurchen Tatars placed their main field force in the wild, keeping a certain distance from the battlefield, and always maintained an erratic attitude.  Occasionally, dozens of people and horses would show off their presence.  This kind of countermeasure allowed Xiao Yankong to lead the army and horses, but there was nothing he could do!  Without destroying the main field force of the Jurchen Tatars, he would not dare to lead the army directly to Gubeikou with confidence.  Otherwise, he would have to face these fortresses honestly, but he just didn't have the patience to conquer them!  Without saying a word, Xiao Yan dismounted from his horse, abandoned his bodyguards behind him, walked a few steps north, put his hands on his waist, and stared quietly at the darkness on the other side.  Those Diaoerying Qingqi who were still talking in low voices just now slowly stopped their laughter and looked at each other, wondering what happened to Xiao Yan.  They looked at Han Shizhong, whose expression was not much better.  He also glared at them fiercely.  Opposite in the distance lies Yanshan Mountain, a dark mountain that has been standing here since ancient times.  In this vicinity, for thousands of years, countless tragic wars have broken out, and many famous ministers, fierce generals, and heroes have passed through this mountain range, but now, they have all disappeared in the smoke of history.  Why should I single-handedly shoulder the victory or defeat on both sides of the battlefield, and why should I wish to think that this war, whether north or south, will ultimately be decided in my own hands?     what to do?  what to do?  How to lure the Jurchen Tatars out for a decisive battle?  At this moment, Xiao Yan was in a state of confusion.  Yin Keshu's simple response put Xiao Yan, who had been full of confidence since going north, into unprecedented trouble!  On the other side of the hill, the sound of horse hooves was also heard at this time.  In the blink of an eye, Yue Fei led dozens of Qingqi to ride up the hill.  He and the people behind him all had expressions of dust on their faces.  I don¡¯t know how far the sentinel will be released this time.  Yue Fei's injuries haven't healed yet, but he seems to be as strong as iron.  The talented troops are still running around vigorously.  He had to deal with this kind of distant sentry job because he had dealt with the Jurchen Tatars a lot and was familiar with the situation in the north, so he had to do it.  Xiao Yan couldn't even try to get him to rest, so he simply didn't bother to care about him.  For such a peerless general, maybe God wants him to hone himself a lot before he can finally stand out Han Shizhong tilted his mouth towards Yue Fei, who turned over and dismounted, and pointed towards Xiao Yan.  Yue Fei looksHe glanced at Xiao Yan's back, his face was as dark as water, and he strode to stand behind Xiao Yan.  Xiao Yan did not turn around, but as if he knew that it was Yue Fei who was standing behind him, he asked in a low voice: "How is it?" Behind Xiao Yan, Yue Fei still saluted meticulously and respectfully: "Xuan Zan, Fei et al. are incompetent, crossed the Tarziwu  After more than 20 miles of outposts in Bibao Village, we still found no trace of the main force of the Tatars. We could only find some clues that they had been stationed there. However, we retreated to the south of Ubibao Village where the Tatars were stationed.  At that time, he found that dozens of Tatar light cavalry were chasing him from a distance, but they did not come up to fight. It was getting late, and Fei did not dare to fight with the main force of the Tatars, so he had to retreat Xuan Zan, the Tatars are used to fighting in the wild.  It comes and goes like the wind. If we can't catch the traces of their main force, it is certainly incompetent. But this strategy will not work. If we want to catch their main force and fight first, it will be difficult to do it. We have to come up with something else!  Come out with a strategy! " "What other strategies can I come up with! What I have done has far exceeded people's highest expectations. What else do you want to expect from me now? I am a human being after all, not a Gundam!"  He roared in his heart, but his face showed no signs of fluctuation at all.  Turning back to look at Yue Fei, he could actually smile: "Pengju, you and the good ministers should go down and have a rest. I have my own arrangements for the military affairs here" Yue Fei did not retreat, but just stood there upright.  What he wanted to say, but his temper could not be more severe, and coupled with his youth and maturity, he did not ask.  Han Shizhong didn't have as much scruples as he did, and strode up. He still knew how to lower his voice: "Praise, is it still too late?" Xiao Yan glared at him: "Why is it too late?" Han Shizhong spread his hands and said, "Is it too late?"  Said: "Of course we are going back to Yanjing Lieutenant Liu is probably crossing the river at this time. Even if the Huanqing army is timid, they will move forward step by step. A battle will break out with Xiao Qian's main force, which will only take three or two days.  It will take another four or five days to determine the winner. The main forces of the two parties are entangled together. This is a good opportunity for our Song Dynasty cavalry to copy Yanjing. If we miss it, it will be praised.  Kill all the Tatars here, and I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to you when you return to Commander Xuan" Xiao Yan was surprised to find that he just snorted coldly.  He actually didn't yell back at Han Shizhong's crow's mouth.  Recently, I have practiced Qi-nurturing Kung Fu quite well But what he said was not so nice: "Get out! This is my own business and has nothing to do with you Po Han Wu! Get off and rest, once I decide what to do  If you don't fight hard, you will be told naturally. If you don't fight hard, your head will be cut off to see if you can talk nonsense all day long!" Han Shizhong chuckled and shook his head indifferently!  , bowed towards Xiao Yan and retreated: "Xuan Zan, once you make a decision, tell Old Han as soon as possible. Old Han's body is almost rusty, and he won't be able to recover without fighting for a while! Let's go rest, military and national events will naturally be announced  Zan Lao Shen, we are just Qiu Ba, what do you think of those Lao Shizi?" He pulled Yue Fei and stepped back. After walking a few steps, he looked back at Xiao Yan who had an angry look on his face seriously: "Xan Zan, it's nothing to me.  , Wei Ming comes and goes, the creditor's face, this is not the first time that Old Han has met, but no matter which husband he works for, he has never been successful under Xuan Zan, killing Tatars, getting promoted it's not that big.  Regardless of Old Han's nonsense! Xuan Zan, you must stand still, Old Han is not tired of being under Xuan Zan's hands!" Han Shizhong pulled Yue Fei back, and except for Xiao Yan's bodyguard, the Qingqi also dispersed.  Return to camp.  Naturally, another group of light cavalry took their place to perform night patrol duties.  Yue Fei really couldn't lie down in his tent, so Han Shizhong advised him to have a good sleep. Yue Fei couldn't stand it anymore, so he got on his horse again and followed the night patrol's light cavalry out.  At this moment, holding the weapon on horseback and being at the forefront seemed to make Yue Fei feel more at ease.  When the night patrol Qingqiu passed through the camp and sank into the darkness, Yue Fei turned around and saw Xiao Yan's figure standing alone on the hillock. Coming from Yanshan, the new wind had been blowing on this land for thousands of years.  He blew up Xiao Yan's blood-red shirt and rolled it up behind him.  At this moment, the one with the greatest pressure is Xiao Xuanzan, who led them to the edge of the Han family's land.  How could Yue Fei not know about the situation Xiao Yan was facing?  But at this time, the only person Xiao Yan can rely on is himself.  All decisions need to be made by him as the commander-in-chief!  And Yue Fei¡¯s determination is to ensure that Xiao Yan¡¯s decision is implemented to the letter, even if he has to die a hundred times. That¡¯s all Yue Fei can do!  The night is cold, the dew is cold, and the armor is frozen.  Xiao Yan has been standing here for who knows how long.  ??I feel like my hands, feet, and face have been blown to the bone by the new wind coming from the north of Yanshan Mountain.  Before traveling through time, I had already retreated into the house, turned on the heating, and had a cup of hot coffee.  I can watch DVDs and play games comfortably. If there is a sex friend in my dog ??house, it will be even more fragrant and warm.  The faces of urban white-collar workers are not chapped even in winter, and each one is as supple as a woman's buttocks of this era.  But now, I have long been accustomed to this kind of life. My face and hands are all covered with chapped cuts. I just apply a little grease and forget about it.  The joints of the hands and feet have become thicker.  Lips are always dry and purple.  The weather in late autumn of this era is actually colder than the late winter of my own era.  Cotton was not very popular in this era.  In Xiao Yan's memory, the earliest physical object of cotton fabric seemed to have been unearthed from an ancient tomb in the Southern Song Dynasty.  In the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan court listed cotton cloth as one of the summer taxes.  During my four years in Xuanhe, I personally verified the archaeological findings.  At this time, the only way to keep out the cold was to put a tanned leather robe on the inside, which was heavy and hard, and then put on iron armor on the outside.  Although it blocks the wind, it is not very gentle and warm.  ¡°I am in such an era, and I am also facing a critical moment of fate.  This war has come to an end.  My own destiny has reached its most critical moment!  ¡°If I am really the one who can save the world, I will be sent back to this era by the thief God.  Then I will never fall down at this time!  ¡°Everything I have is obtained by taking risks.  Then let's take another riskuntil we can truly stand firm in this era!  Returning to Tanzhou and then attacking Yanjing is not considered.  How could he face so many loyal and brave warriors who were high-spirited and followed him, abandoning their great achievements and coming to kill the Tatars?  Not to mention those loyal souls inside and outside Gubeikou!  After wiping out the Jurchen Tatars, he will be able to turn around and fight for merit in Yanjing, and only then will the soldiers under his command die under his command as usual!  The personality of a commander is also an important part of the combat effectiveness of an army.  Xiao Yan already has this strength of character that comes from his righteousness, and he is also unwilling to lose this.  Then, the only way to go is to defeat the Jurchen Tatars.  Even if you put yourself in danger again!  I don¡¯t know how long it took, but Xiao Yan finally made up his mind.  He sneezed violently, jumped up and rubbed his hands and feet that were numb from the cold, and cursed loudly: "It's so damn cold!" Zhang Xian and his bodyguards were waiting behind him silently.  When they heard Xiao Yan's actions, they hurriedly gathered around him: "Xuanzan, are you cold? Hurry back to camp and rest. There is hot ginger soup. I will bring it to Xuanzan!" Xiao Yan beat him hard again!  He sneezed and cursed with a smile: "I'll do it myself! Are you clumsy compared to a little mute? With your dirty hands, your thumbs are often stuck in the bowl. I still drink, do you want to stop drinking? Go back to camp, tonight  Everyone, let's have a good fucking sleep. Early tomorrow morning, before dawn, you go to the tents above Yuhou in each camp, arrest them all, go to my army tent, and wait for me to discuss military affairs with them.  !" Xiao Yan was so silent, obviously he had something on his mind.  Zhang Xian was already a very competent personal guard commander, and he respected and admired Xiao Xuanzan from the bottom of his heart.  Watching him melancholy and lingering in the night wind.  Zhang Xian's heart was no longer as relaxed as he had been at the beginning of his journey north, and Zhang Xian's heart was heavy.  With his bodyguards waiting behind him with a stern face, he only regretted that there was nothing he could do to help Xiao Yan. At this time, Xiao Yan started to curse again, especially his weird "I" mantra came out again, knowing what Xiao Yan was thinking  The decision had been made, and most of the weight in his chest was gone. He and the guards behind him were as happy as anything.  He hurriedly smiled and agreed: "The praise has to be done in person. That's just right. We can save time and sleep a little longer. Isn't it better than anything else?" Xiao Yan strode towards his mount without looking back.  The waiter got on his horse, and he was still laughing and cursing: "You bunch of bastards, who doesn't want to imitate that big mouth of Han Wu! If you all go back, the war is about to begin!" At this time, a thought passed through me like lightning.  passed the mind.  It seemed that I had mentioned the little mute's name just now.  This gentle, shy, considerate and kind-hearted girl suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.  ¡°I have been traveling through dangerous wars, and I bear great responsibility at every moment.  It had been a long time since Xiao Yan had deliberately not thought about what the little mute was doing. It was useless to think about it at this time.  But at this moment, Xiao Yan couldn't help but look south: "Little mute, how are you now?" The sky had turned a fishy white.  In a large military camp where you camp in the wild, it naturally has its own vitality.    The light cavalrymen who went out to guard sentries at night staggered back on their horses, and the guards outside their camp greeted them with a smile.  The officers had already given orders loudly and angrily outside the tents where their respective troops and horses were located, and the soldiers came out of the camp one after another.  Xiao Yan had many cavalry troops under his command, so he had to make up a morning feed for the horses in the morning and turn over the straw in the horse's stables.  After a night, there is heavy dew and moisture in the field. If this is still used in the stable, the war horse will easily get sick.  Every day when I open my eyes, the most important thing is to take care of so many horses.  The soldiers on duty around the camp have also changed their shifts, and the sentry Qingqi who patrolled during the day are already preparing their saddles and harnesses.  Inside and outside the camp, apart from the officers' orders, there were not many voices.  The military camp originally requires solemn silence.  However, so many war horses in Xiao Yan's army neighed loudly and neighing loudly, making the vast camp seem particularly lively.  It¡¯s still early for the soldiers to eat.  Xiao Yan doesn't have much free time to implement reforms in the military system, such as eating three meals a day.  Now the whole army still has two meals a day.  However, the civilians and the auxiliary soldiers responsible for collecting firewood had already begun preparations early.  Cooking in this era is not a simple matter. Setting up the stove, collecting firewood, and fetching water all require a certain amount of time, and it is simply too late.  Therefore, when setting up a large camp, it is convenient to have water and firewood, and manpower is needed everywhere.  The most important thing for people and horses is to eat. It is not uncommon for an army to have half of its strength used to collect wood, collect water, prepare horse feed every day.  The camp is still carrying out its own affairs in an orderly manner as before.  However, the Yuhou envoys from each battalion, as well as Han Shizhong and other senior generals, had been urgently summoned to Xiao Yan's tent, waiting for Xiao Yan to arrange important military affairs.  Even Yue Fei, who was returning from a night patrol, was urgently stopped and taken to Xiao Yan's military tent.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.  Could it be that Xiao Yan discovered some kind of fighter opportunity and was about to make a shocking decision?  It was only so early that everyone was gathered together.  Military discussions, if there is nothing important, usually take place in the morning after a big meal.  Some generals understood Xiao Yan's current situation to some extent, and they were wondering in their hearts whether they could not fight with the Jurchen Tatars, so they simply planned to return to Tanzhou first?  Everyone¡¯s eyes were turned to Han Shizhong. Han Shizhong and Yue Fei were both Xiao Yan¡¯s confidants and the highest-ranking generals.  But although Yue Fei is young, he is naturally strong-tempered and there is no way to find out anything from him.  And everyone is not familiar with Yue Fei.  Po Han Wu was different. The old man of the Western Army, as long as the military situation was not tight, everyone would get together and have a small bet without Xiao Yan's eyes and ears. Han Shizhong's bad luck was not famous in the entire Western Army.  , many people present were his creditors, and their eyes immediately turned to him to see if Han Shizhong could reveal some information.  But Han Shizhong was winking and grinning, as if he was also kept in the dark.  But everyone didn't believe it, and some people were ready to quietly come over and whisper a few words to Han Shizhong to see if they could find out anything true.  At this moment, the sound of boots was heard, and everyone suddenly did not dare to make any more moves, and saw Xiao Yan walking out of the back tent.  His eyes quickly swept over everyone, and everyone stood upright solemnly. Xiao Yan smiled and nodded: "There is no place to sit, so just stand and listen. I have treated everyone badly. In the future, I will go back to the Song Dynasty and enter Bianliang.  At that time, whatever place was the most expensive and where the young lady was the prettiest belonged to me, Xiao. I can¡¯t let everyone fight with me in vain!¡± Everyone in the big tent burst into laughter.  This is a battlefield, a temporary tent set up. Of course, the conditions are not much better.  Moreover, for all the uses in Xiao Yan's army, in addition to bringing some of them himself, many of them were borrowed from the savings of Tanzhou Wang Yaksha, as well as donations from Sakon powerful men.  The conditions in the army are naturally far different from when they relied on several transshipment envoys in the Song Dynasty for supplies.  Not only were there few tables in the big tent, but the floor was not paved with wood and covered with moisture-proof felt strips and fur.  In the tent, there are overgrown grass.  There is only a simple wooden diagram in the center.  This wooden map was almost crude to the extreme. It only marked the mountains and rivers near the fortress where the Jurchen Tatars faced them, and nothing else.  Hearing Xiao Yan joking with them, everyone knew that Xiao Yan was in a good mood, much better than he had been in a day or two.  Everyone also relaxed.  "Xiao Xuanzan, you are the commander-in-chief of the army. You have a mountain of military orders. We must remember these words!"  , Don¡¯t empty your family. It¡¯s not easy to live in Bianliang. We can¡¯t bear it. Xiao Xuanzan has made great achievements and is poor again!¡± ¡°Tanzhou will be rewarded in the treasury.  Send it to me soon??Half a text.  These were not sent by officials, they were pocketed by Xiao Xuanzan himself!  Aren¡¯t most of the seizures in the past belonged to the lieutenants?  According to my point of view, everyone still has some conscience. If we take down the Wubi Fort here and then Yanjing in the future, the one thing we should give less praise to Xiao Xuan is that when we go back to Bianliang in the future, the adults in the court will all want to stick it out from their throats.  Anyone who raises a hand to ask for money must leave some wealth for Xiao Xuanzan!  "The generals joked, and Han Shizhong also followed suit: "All my gambling debts fell on Xiao Xuanzan.  I am relying on Xiao Xuanzan. Who asked Xiao Xuanzan to pick me, Old Han, to go north? Who among the entire Western Army doesn't know that I, Old Han, are a rogue?  " Yue Fei is as young and old as Yue Fei, and he can't help but smile at this time. He also knows that half of these generals are deliberately laughing. Xiao Yan was depressed the past two days, everyone saw it, and they just regretted that there was nothing they could do.  It was rare to see Xiao Yan smiling today, so everyone tried their best to make Xiao Yan happier. We have lived and died together for so long, and the distinction between the victorious soldiers and the Shenwu Changsheng soldiers has long faded.  , They are all generals under Xiao Yan's command now! Of course, Xiao Yan also knows the thoughts of these heckled generals, and he can't help but feel a warm current rolling in his heart. Since he traveled through time, he has never fought alone.  There are all the good men of this era around, and they often rush in front of him! It doesn't matter if he takes some risks, as long as he can win with such good men who live and die together, and let them return to Bianliang,  He became a hero that everyone in the Song Dynasty welcomed enthusiastically! He laughed and cursed: "I am not a miser, so why are you guarding gold and silver?  If you are thirsty, you cannot clothe yourself; if you are hungry, you cannot eat.  If a man is capable, where can he not stand out?  You should stop talking about this to me. Since we are all generals, their duty is to fight. Once the war is over, everything will be there.  It's just like a scholar from the Song Dynasty who won the first prize in the examination. If we argue again, I won't treat you!  " The generals were all in awe. At this time, it was usually Han Shizhong who spoke on behalf of the generals. He took a step forward and looked at Xiao Yan very seriously. The laziness that used to appear on Han Wu's face was gone.  The most common expression left is a fierce general who smells the breath of war, which is a kind of murderous intent! "Xiao Xuanzan, have you decided how to fight the Tatars?  Should we attack their dock wall, or simply attack Gubeikou?  Or is there any way to lure them out for a decisive battle?  As long as you give an order of praise, no matter how dangerous it is for the people in this tent, we will never look back!  I, Old Han, also have a selfish request. Leave the most difficult and dangerous tasks to me, Old Han. I have a great destiny and can always struggle!  " Xiao Yan looked at Han Shizhong intently, and Yue Fei also came out of the crowd. He didn't say a word, he just stood there straight. Needless to say, his thoughts were just like Han Shizhong's. After returning from hundreds of battles, Yue Fei's body was threatening.  His vigor has not diminished a bit, but has become even more compelling! Xiao Yan chuckled: "You can't lure the Tatars out. Only my banner, Xiao Yan, can lure out the Tatars.  The Tatars once saw with their own eyes that if I hold someone's banner on the battlefield, my subordinates will only go forward and never look back.  If they want to defeat us, the only great army in the world that can stand in front of them in the Song Dynasty, all they have to do is cut down my banner, Mr. Xiao, and take off my head. Other than that, there is no other way!  " Xiao's words were cold, and his meaning was extremely decisive. The quick-thinking people in the tent had already reacted. Yue Fei had already taken the lead again and said loudly: "Xiao Xuanzan!  " Xiao Yan smiled and waved his hands, indicating that it was okay, but the smile on his face at this time was so cold that it was almost transparent, full of murderous intent and determination. As the generals stepped forward one after another, he shouted loudly: "  Generals, listen!  " After hearing the military order, no matter how much he said in his heart, he could only stand solemnly at this time. The armor leaves on the generals' bodies collided with each other, and there was a trembling sound of metal intersecting. " Xiao Yan had already strode to the wooden figure and slapped him  He patted the wooden picture heavily: "Han Shizhong!  " Han Shizhong puffed up his chest and said loudly: "The general is here!  " Xiao Yan said coldly: "You lead the whole army of Baimen soldiers to surround Zhangjiapu, the largest fortress where the Tatars are located, on three sides. I will allocate all the powerful infantry from all over the place to you, plus the Shenwu will always win.  With a thousand troops, they will launch a hard attack on Zhangjiabao, but leave the north side free. No matter what, you are not allowed to set up a patrol cavalry there or place a checkpoint there, and then leave the north side free for them!  ¡­You have to command your troops, build attacking tools, prepare earth and rocks, fill trenches, and I will transfer most of the army¡¯s baggage to you.  They made a posture of attacking Zhangjiabao forcefully, and even if the attack could not be taken out for a while, they would force the Jurchen Tatars to retreat from the north!  Attack the city with infantry, and respond with white soldiers!  " Han Shizhong pounded his breastplate and shouted in response. He remained silent for the time being, waiting for Xiao Yan's further deployment.Xiao Yan's eyes turned to Yue Fei again: "Pengju!" Yue Fei stepped forward steadily: "General, obey the order!" It seems that he has the same plan. After listening to Xiao Yan's complete deployment, he will then prepare to give advice. At this time,  As he spoke the four words, he stood motionless.  Xiao Yan also stared at him coldly and said loudly: "The entire Shengjie Army, as well as the light cavalry of the Shenwu Evervictorious Army, are all allocated to you. You can use one unit to monitor other forts, and you can personally lead the other troops across  To the north of the fortress, the Luoqi were deployed in a posture to cut off the retreat of the Jurchen Tatars, and to intercept the main force of the Jurchen Tatars in the field to attack Han Shizhong's main siege force.  In the fortress area, the interception should be loose. Don't let anyone go in the gap to the north of Zhangjia Fort. You just want the Jurchen Tatars to escape from the north. Do you understand? " Yue Fei nodded silently, Xiao Yan took a deep breath and pointed.  He pinched his nose and said: "The remaining infantry of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army belong to me and camp at the back and north of Han Shizhong. It is almost half a day's march from Han Shizhong and Yue Fei. It is also in the southernmost part of the Tatars.  Under the nose of the fortress, I have made a gesture of being able to support both sides at any time, but my troops are weak. Once my camp is on fire, you two must come back with full strength. This is my purpose. You all understand.  "Everyone understood what Xiao Yan was thinking. He wanted to show his whereabouts deliberately.  They put on a posture of weak troops in the camp, and the main forces were separated from a distance, eager to capture Zhangjia Fort, and by besieging Zhangjia Fort to attract Jurchen soldiers to break out or come for reinforcements, so as to start a decisive battle.  He even hesitated to expose his flaws and disregarded his own safety.  According to the impression he left on the Jurchen Tatars that he was always brave enough to be in front of the battle, it was normal for him to behave like this.  But the only flaw in this plan is that the Jurchen commander is obviously a man who knows how to fight. What will happen if they don't come out?  This war will still last for a long time, and Xiao Yan will not hesitate to take risks, but it will probably not be effective as he waits for the Jurchen Tatar reinforcements to arrive for the final decisive battle.  As for the two most powerful light and heavy cavalry, one is far to the north, and the other is stationed near Zhangjiabao. If it lasts for a long time, the front will naturally be frustrated. If the decisive battle comes then, it may not be beneficial!  Han Shizhong immediately took the lead. It was a habit for him to speak without scruples in front of Xiao Yan, and he immediately shook his head desperately: "Xuanzan, this trick of luring the enemy with suspicion, no matter how realistic Xuanzan arranged it, the Jurchen Tatars  Commander, if you are a little calmer, you can just hold back your troops and firmly hold the initiative on the battlefield. Why take risks? If you do this, you will only waste your energy by moving your troops east and west.  When the time comes, will we really attack Zhangjiabao, or will we retreat? If we retreat, it will only hurt the strength of the army. Those who surrender to the powerful are just looking at the situation, and they have other ideas.  If we advance and retreat easily, our own soldiers will also complain. When the time comes for the decisive battle with the Jurchen Tatars, our troops will not be so sharp If we don't retreat, our sentinels at Zhangjiabao will see it. It's not big but it's very powerful!  Strong. After decades of operation, how can we suddenly attack the city and pull out the white soldiers? This is the biggest taboo of military strategists, and the Jurchen Tatars have nothing to do with it.  The doubt is waiting for their reinforcements to arrive. When the time comes, we will back the city to fight. The situation cannot be worse. If we really want to take the risk, Xuan Zan might as well lead us to attack Gubeikou. It would be glorious to say that we are defeated.  , at least we deserve to die with them in the battle of Gubeikou!" Xiao Yan looked at him coldly: "Han Liangchen, do you think I didn't consider this?  Make a last-ditch effort to lure the Tatars out. If the Tatars really don¡¯t come out, I will never think about Yanjing again. Let¡¯s prepare for the final battle with the Tatars in the future!  Just listen to the sky!" Han Shizhong was startled, and he was moved for a moment.  Xiao Yan's last-ditch effort to get back to Yanjing in time is completely understandable.  More importantly, he put himself in danger and used himself to seduce the Jurchen Tatars!  And even if the Tatars don't come out, he will completely give up the idea of ??returning to Yanjing and continue the war here to the end.  As Yanjing was captured by other armies, he had completely given up and ignored Xiao Yan's fate!  "If you follow a commander like this and fight to the end, what's the point of dying?"  Xiao Yan called him by his name, instead of calling him Po Han Wu.  This shows that Xiao Yan is really angry with his crow mouth.  Han Shizhong didn't care, and still took a step forward: "It's good for Xiao Xuanzan to have the plan not to let the Tatars come out. As a general, of course you have to consider the most unfavorable situation. We are just accompanying Xiao Xuanzan to fight to the death here.  The bottom line is, Xiao Xuanzan doesn¡¯t care, what do we care about as Qiu Ba? Xiao Xuanzan, of course we will respect the military order, but how sure are you, Xuanzan, of luring the Tatars out?¡±  ?Coldly: "In the encounter near Gubeikou, what I saw was the big gate of the Jurchen nobleman with two sides! Although that guy Yin Keshu was commanding the entire army, I saw him rush to the other side of the big gate several times in the formation.  The young Jurchen nobleman under the Jurchen's majesty was eager to rush into the battle in advance several times, instead of waiting for the most favorable opportunity like Yin Keshu I will bet on the Jurchen army.  In fact, there are two commanders. Yin Keshu is experienced in military affairs and may not be tempted, but the other Jurchen commander may not! He only needs to lure and kill half of the Jurchen Tatars before their reinforcements arrive.  After all, the Wubi Fortress here is the most powerful one in the world. They may not be willing to die together with the remaining Jurchen Tatars! At that time, we will have the opportunity to capture this place and completely drive the Jurchen Tatars out of the south of Yanshan in advance!  This is what I bet on!" Han Shizhong was silent and shook his head slowly: "Even if Guan Pu is defeated, I will not bet on this amountit depends too much on God's will" Xiao Yan looked at him fiercely: "If this is God's will,  We have seen that so many of our athletes have fallen at my feet without hesitation in order to compete with the Tatars for this piece of Han soil. What if God has seen that I and you are desperate to not compete for credit, but to do this hard work.  This is God's will, and it will fall on me! My life hangs in the sky. Han Liangchen, if you don't want to follow me, go back to the Western Army!" Han Shizhong raised his hand angrily:  "That's not what I, Old Han, mean! If Xuan Zan is willing to make a bet, can I, Old Han, follow? It's just that the responsibility of luring the enemy is left to me, Old Han. Step forward now, my old Han's kung fu is better than Xuan Zan's  Let¡¯s wait until Xuan Zan comes to kill him!¡± Yue Fei, who had been silent all the time, had been quietly listening to the argument between Xiao Yan and Han Shizhong from the beginning.  Han Shizhong finished what he wanted to say.  In some places, the current Yue Fei is really not as clear as Han Shizhong, who is experienced in military affairs.  When Han Shizhong proudly asked Xiao Yan for the responsibility of luring the enemy.  Yue Fei finally found the opportunity to speak and took a step forward.  "Praise praise, let An Yue Fei come to lure the enemy! From Gubeikou to here, I have killed dozens or even hundreds of Tatars. I have also killed many Tatar warriors. The Tatars, up and down, hate me Yue Fei to their bones.  , If I come to lure the enemy, it is normal. When the time comes for Xuan Zan and Brother Han to come back, as long as the Tatars dare to come out, I will hold them tightly and never let them survive!" The other generals are already here!  The people nearby could hear their hearts trembling.  Xiao Yan's determination was decisive and his bet was huge.  They were all left speechless.  What moved them even more was that Xiao Yan's determination to go north has not changed at all.  No matter what happens on the rear, no matter whether Yanjing falls into his hands in the end, he must first expel the Jurchen Tatars from the south!  They also know that their status is not high enough to serve as bait to lure the Tatars.  At this time, they also stepped forward and spoke: "Xiao Xuanzan, as the envoy to lure the Tatars, let me choose one of the two, Han Du Yuhou and Yuedu Yuhou! Under the banner of Xiao Xuanzan! No matter what happens in the future, I will  They risked their lives and wealth to ask their husbands to protect Xiao Xuanzan. People like Xiao Xuanzan are rare in the Song Dynasty!" Xiao Yan smiled lightly and shook his head slowly.  The excitement just now has calmed down.  "It's a pity that you are not Mr. Xiao. The commander of this army is also me, Mr. Xiao. The purpose of leaving a passage for Zhangjiabao is to pass on the general's information. I, Mr. Xiao, have been left alone! As long as you defeat me,  If we can win this big victory, we can go south early, shock the entire Youyan, and force them to retreat or even defeat this army that is giving them a headache. I have made up my mind that I will lead less than a thousand infantry to lure them!  The enemy, wait for the Tatars to come to me! If they don't come, I will be here, ready to fight them to the death!" After Xiao Yan said this, he looked at the faces of every general in the tent with eager eyes.  He swept over and said slowly: "Brothers, you all share life and death with me, Mr. Xiao, and even come here. When the war is over, if everyone is still alive, if I, Mr. Xiao, can still gain a foothold in the Song Dynasty. The promise I just made  , it still works. We will find the best girls in the best restaurants in Bianliang and have a banquet. How will your spirits be during the grand gathering? The generals will return to their bases.  Listen to the orders of Han and Yue, the two envoys of Du Yu, and act independently to completely crush the Jurchen Tatars who betrayed the alliance and invaded our territory in the Song Dynasty!" The generals listened solemnly and looked at Xiao with extremely eager eyes!  After saying that, Han Shizhong was the first to bow deeply, strode out with his sword, and when he reached the tent door, Han Shizhong let out a long roar: " If this God's will is really China's God's will, maybe it is like what Xiao Xuanzan said, I  We can win this battle. We can also fight against the Western Army of the Song Dynasty and hunt for Yanjing. Oh my God, I, Po Han Wu, have never asked you for anything. I am struggling to survive, but you have to protect us.  Desperate Xiao Xuanzan!" Yue Fei also bowed deeply to Xiao Yan, but he didn't say anything and just strode out.  The generals similarly moved towards XiaoSalute and file out.  Everyone looked solemn and pursed their lips tightly. The same words as Han Shizhong were tumbling in everyone's chest.  At this moment, they don¡¯t know whether they want the Tatars to be lured out by Xiao Yan, or whether they don¡¯t want Xiao Yan to be involved in danger!  And Xiao Yan stood in the camp with his hands behind his hands, watching the generals walk away proudly!
