    Chapter 149 Return to Heaven (9) Hundreds of black flags were fluttering, and each flag was covered with traces of smoke and blood.  It was a deadly battle with the Huanqing Army. Almost all the Liao armies, battalions and teams represented by each flag were involved in the deadly battle.  Although in the end Liu Yanqing was discouraged and fled first, the Liao army's desperate attempt finally succeeded.  But the Liao army's losses were also staggering.  Several elite soldiers were either killed in battle or wounded and snatched away.  The remaining armies also consumed huge amounts of money.  In the end, Xiao Qian made a desperate move and mobilized all the soldiers from Yuanba to join in the deadly battle against the stronghold. This is why Yang Keshi and the others came all the way to investigate without any hindrance.  The Liao army had 20,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry, totaling only 40,000.  The cavalry army is the elite among the Liao soldiers and horses. They mount light cavalry, dismount and wear armor to fight on foot and attack the camp. Now there are only more than 10,000 people left who can fight.  The infantry also suffered losses of four to five thousand.  Although the results of the battle were equally huge, almost the same 40,000 troops and horses who crossed the river to the north of the Qing Dynasty suffered nearly 20,000 casualties, and nearly half of them drowned in the Gaoliang River.  With only soldiers and horses left, the Liao army had no room to capture prisoners and dispersed.  These remnants of the Huanqing Army, which had lost their organization and command, could no longer become a combat-ready force.  The Song army's baggage and equipment were burned and captured, and they were piled up like mountains, but there was no time to even count them.  For the Liao army, the joy of such a huge victory lasted only a moment in their hearts.  Seeing that the last capable army of the Liao Empire had withered into disgrace, almost everyone had scars, and everyone's heart dropped to the bottom of their bones.  Even if every battle is such a victory, how many times have they experienced it?  It wasn¡¯t until they saw Xiao Qian¡¯s flag still flying that the Liao army gained a glimmer of hope.  Maybe King Xiao is really here to lead us out of this desperate situation!  As long as the Song army is defeated, maybe leaving Yanjing will give Daliao a chance to regain its glory!  Xiao Qian used the remaining Liao soldiers extremely hard. They fought so hard and won such a great victory, but he did not give them any chance to breathe. He immediately gathered his troops and horses, leaving the already devastated battlefield below Yanjing City, and it was too late to capture them.  After packing up, he turned east to meet the three armies of Qin Feng and Xihe in Jingyuan.  Although the Liao army barely marched in a unit, the flags of each army were flying.  However, regardless of whether they were dismounted or dismounted, the Liao soldiers were already staggering, and many of them fell asleep while marching.  Those civilians who were serving as conscripts fell even further behind, and Xiao Qian ignored them and just urged the army to move eastward.  Heavy snow fell one after another, landing on Xiao Qian's cloak. After a while, his shoulders were covered with snowflakes.  The cold wind blew against his face, and even Xiao Qian's beard was covered with ice.  But he opened his sharp, bloodshot eyes and looked steadily to the east in the distance.  After coming into contact with the Song Army sentinel, Xiao Qian instead issued a military order to speed up the action.  The Liao army officers and soldiers, who were already extremely exhausted, even used up their energy to feed themselves and struggled to move forward in the heavy snow.  When the war reached this point, no one in the Liao army seemed to care about the final outcome. They just wanted a place to sleep.  Beside Xiao Qian, a war horse suddenly whined and fell to the ground.  The general on the horse was dozing off little by little, but when his horse fell down, he fell out immediately.  He rolled up covered in snow, trying desperately to pull his mount up.  The war horse was covered in sweat, snoring feebly, and its legs were weak and could not stand up.  The general naturally knew that the war horse was completely exhausted.  He glanced at Xiao Qian's figure, but Xiao Qian didn't even look at him and walked straight forward.  The general gritted his teeth, pulled out his saber and stabbed him hard. He heard the war horse whine, and lay down in the snow without moving.  The general gritted his teeth and sheathed his sword. The guards around him quickly gave up a horse and let him ride on it and chase Xiao Qian away.  Next to Xiao Qian, his confidant General Xi Ren couldn't help but approach him: "Your Majesty, all the sons and grandsons are dead, let them rest, otherwise the whole army will collapse! It's not that the sons and grandsons don't contribute, it's really that they are powerless.  But come out Your Majesty!" Xiao Qian tilted his head to look at him, and his tone was colder than the weather outside: "Even if we have all the troops, if we wait for the three armies of Jingyuan, Qin, Feng, and Xihe to come over, we can defeat Liu.  Will Yanqing defeat them? Now they are threatening to defeat Liu Yanqing and scare them eastward, forcing them not to dare to fight a decisive battle with a certain family, so they can only retreat to Gaoliang and Hebei!" The Xiren general was still gritting his teeth and trying to persuade Xiao!  Qian: "Your Majesty, what if the Song army does not retreat? If we are so exhausted, our troops and horses will wither, and we will definitely lose the battle with the Song army. It is better to raise the troops, collect the baggage and seize it. Even if the three armies of the Song Dynasty, Jingyuan, Qin Fengxi River, do not retreat, we will lose."  We still have the strength to deal with the Song people!" Xiao Qian looked at him coldly and shook his head slowly: "We don't have the strength to deal with the Song people's Jingyuan, Qin Feng and Xihe armies!" He said!  I looked up at the sky and watched the snowflakes rustling from the blue-grey sky.The scroll fell: "Liu Yanqing is already in Gaoliang and Henan. What I'm betting on is that Laozhong Xiaozhong and the others don't dare to fight me when Liu Yanqing and Tong Guan are behind them. No one dares to leave Huan Qing behind.  With all the troops fleeing for their lives, what can't be done for these three armies? Once they can't figure out our reality, they will never have the determination to confront us in Gaoliang Hebei Now we have no choice but to retreat!  If we stop and rest, the old fox is an old fox on the battlefield. He can smell it maybe he will take the risk to rob Yanjing City Do you understand? " The Xi Ren general lowered his head and thought for a while.  , took a breath: "It's all a gamble Your Majesty, if the southerners react, we're just afraid" Xiao Qian smiled faintly, and his tense expression softened a little: "My life  It's always been good He urged the whole army to speed up the journey. After forcing the Song army back, the sky is high and the sky is wide, and we are free to do so!" The Xiren general accepted the order loudly, and Xiao Qian's bodyguard also responded with the same voice.  In response, they split up and rode out, urging the entire Liao army in the heavy snow to speed up their journey, and the sound of drums and trumpets became twice as loud.  This black torrent in the snow, carrying the cold murderous aura after defeating Liu Yanqing, accelerated towards the east and rolled up. Now the whole Liao army relied on their faith in Xiao Qian to support the will of the entire army!  The central camp of the Jingyuan Army is now brightly lit, with blazing torches, illuminating the surroundings of the camp.  The soldiers of the Song Army stood in arms on the fence, each wearing armor, as if they were facing a powerful enemy.  Snowflakes fell on the armor and condensed in a short time, making the armor and the sharp blade in the soldier's hand look even more chilling.  Outside the Chinese army camp, troops and horses were moving around one after another, riding around and passing military orders one after another.  The trenches in Luzhai were thickened and widened by auxiliary soldiers.  At every critical place, Song army generals were patrolling with their swords drawn.  Looking around from the Central Army camp, the stretching Song Army barracks stretched out like fire dragons in the snowy night, all the way to the end of the line of sight.  Everywhere in the camp, there is murderous intent rising into the sky.  Once the Chinese army camp hangs a signal on the watchtower, all the camps will respond immediately.  Inside the gate of each camp, there are armored soldiers forming a square formation and sitting on the ground to rest.  The cook distributed the hot soup and rice to give them some extra calories.  These armored soldiers are always ready to go out of the stronghold and fight in the wild.  There is no other reason for being so alert.  All three armies of the Western Army have learned about the military information reported from the front.  Liu Yanqing fled, and the entire Huanqing Army collapsed and was destroyed!  The Liao people's brigade has already come eastward, making a similar posture of crushing the three armies of Qin Feng and Xihe in Jingyuan.  The Liao people's far-reaching sentinels had pushed the Song army's light cavalry back to the vicinity of the camp. Before dusk, they reappeared in the sight of the watchtowers of the Song army's camps.  From the mouths of the defeated soldiers, the Song army already knew that the combat effectiveness of the Liao army under Xiao Qian far exceeded their estimates. It was an elite division that could fight from day to night and attack the camp with fire at night.  In one day and one night, the Huanqing Army was defeated like this!  Without waiting for an order, the Jingyuan Army immediately mobilized and alerted when they were in the direction of the Liao Army's attack. All moves to prepare the army and prepare to attack westward were stopped.  He tensed his nerves and waited for the arrival of the Liao army.  Although after nightfall, the Liao people's long-distance barriers were retracted for a distance, the Song army's light cavalry could also extend a distance to the west, and it was discovered that the Liao people were also setting up camp.  However, the entire Jingyuan Army still showed no signs of slacking off.  Even if the Huanqing Army fails, it will still be a stronghold of the Western Army. They can't even hold on to Yizhai for more than two days. Who knows how powerful the Liao people are!  With such strong strength, why does Xiao Qian still show weakness at every step?  In any case, the three armies of Jingyuan, Qin, Feng, and Xihe are now arrayed with their backs to the water. There is no army that can support them, and they are in an absolutely dangerous situation according to the art of war!  The big tent of the Jingyuan Army's central camp was also brightly lit at this time. The generals of the Western Army who came after hearing Lao Zhong's summons gathered together, and the tent was almost packed.  Everyone's face was gloomy, and many people even looked panicked.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????  "Lao Zhong was sitting in the middle of the head. He seemed to be seven or eight years older. He closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking about.  Only his beard can be seen trembling slightly.  Xiaozhong and Yao Gu sat on his left and right, looking at each other.  No one spoke in the big tent. Only when the famous generals who came here from various camps came in, there was no sound or life in the big tent.  Everyone feels extremely depressed, but they don¡¯t know what to say.  Since the Northern Expedition, the two offensives that used all the strength of the army will end in disastrous defeats?  Last time at Baigouhe, everyone still covered each other and basically withdrew the main force.  This time in Gaolianghebei is not as good as last time. Maybe the whole army will lose a lot of troops when they retreat across the Gaolianghe River.After getting off the horse, I still don¡¯t know if I can stand in Zhuozhou!  Although we were already separated from the Huanqing Army, we learned that the Huanqing Army suffered a disastrous defeat.  After all, everyone was from the Western Army at the same time. Everyone felt miserable and was not in the mood to talk.  I could see that the atmosphere in this big tent was getting more and more depressing.  I don¡¯t know how long I waited, but Lao Zhong still didn¡¯t open his eyes.  Xiao Zhong finally couldn't hold it in any longer and slapped his thigh hard.  The loud sound startled everyone.  Then he saw Xiao Zhong standing up with his beard raised, and said angrily: "Liu Yanqing, you really don't want to regret death! They are all from the Western Army, people who live in the killing field, there is no abandonment of the Western Army."  General, let's go! If it weren't for this guy, the Huanqing Army wouldn't have collapsed so quickly. The Liao dogs couldn't bite them. Maybe we would have arrived. Attacked from both sides, how could Xiao Qian be so arrogant?  He took Liu Yanqing's head to comfort the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Huanqing Army!" Yao Gu also imitated Lao Zhong and closed his eyes just now. At this time, he slowly opened his eyes and sneered: "Now this guy is safe and sound!  They are in Gaoliang, Henan! I don¡¯t know what He Xuanshuai is planning. He has retreated through Henan. As long as we retreat through Henan, we will be close to each other and we can¡¯t cover it up  The thief has never fought such a depressing battle. He is very strong and needs to use nine points to defend his family!" A general under Yao Gu stood up and said, "Then we will not retreat here!  Xiao Qian decided on a life-or-death outcome and showed him whether the Western Army was copper or iron! Liu Yanqing and his men were defeated. We defeated Xiao Qian and captured Yanjing. Look at Commander Xuan and Mr. Cai.  "What do you have to say!" The general's loud voice immediately caused a few people to respond, and the atmosphere in the tent seemed to relax a lot.  Several generals stood up and geared up to fight and kill.  Yao Gu sneered when something happened: "Zhe Quanzhong, are you the only one who can fight? We are now alone in Gaoliang Hebei! Xiao Qian is not scary, the people standing behind us are scary!" Now the tent is full of his own family.  People, the situation is so critical, Yao Gu doesn't care anymore, he just calls out the names of people: "Tong Guan, the eggless guy, is already a grasshopper on the same rope as Liu Yanqing, he will use all his skills in his life,  Try to cover up this defeat! No matter how you cover it up, it won't make us lose together. When the blame falls on them, it will naturally be much easier. It's not that Tong Guan and Liu Yanqing are incompetent, it's Xiao Qian Yelu Dashi.  You guys are too strong! These people are blocking our retreat in Gaoliang and Henan. All the transfer envoys in Hebei are from Tong Guan's group. We can't boldly fight to the death in Hebei. We don't know if we will be harmed by others!  Why!" Hearing Yao Gu's scolding, the man named Zhe Quanzhong who stood up first sat down angrily.  The Western Army was torn apart by Tong Guan and Liu Yanqing, and everyone had experienced this personally.  It was precisely because of them that this battle was so suffocating from beginning to end. What Yao Gu said now was exactly what everyone was worried about.  At that time, looking forward and backward, in Xiao Qian's hands, he might suffer another defeat!  After Xiao Qian defeated Liu Yanqing, he marched eastward without any pause. Such momentum frightened the Western Army to some extent.  Although the disastrous defeat of the Huanqing Army was caused by various factors, Liu Yanqing's incompetence and cowardice accounted for at least half of them.  However, the Liao army's swift and ferocious movements and Xiao Qian's decisive command and dispatch still make people admire them.  Now he is approaching without taking a breath, making people even more unclear about the strength in his hands. The decision to fight him decisively in Hebei is even more difficult to make.  After Yao Gu said a few words so coldly, the tent became quiet again.  After a long while, someone finally whispered: "How about we leave? The Huanqing Army was defeated first, and we were responsible for supporting the flanks. The Huanqing Army collapsed in two days, and we  Even with all the strength we can muster, we can't take this responsibility. When the time comes, we can just go back to Gaoliang and Henan to litigate. Now that the Huanqing Army is gone, all three of our armies will be finished. We only need the officials.  If we still want the land of Yanyun, we can't do anything to us. Maybe when we start the army again, our husbands will be the commanders If we stay here, I'm afraid Liu Yanqing and Tong Xuan  Handsome, even with all the strength in his life, we will be defeated miserably" "After saying this, many people in the tent breathed a sigh of relief, and someone immediately echoed: "I haven't entangled with Liao Gou yet, I  We take cover one by one and retreat together Our retreat is also complete. Every soldier and soldier will not lose a grain of food to the Liao dogs!"  After I come to break up, if the Liao dogs come up, I will have a good fight with them. If the Liao dogs get excited, I will chop off my head!" "It's not that we don't want to have a good fight, and we are not afraid of Xiao Qian.  Damn it, there are only two living treasures in the back. We are too weak to get out three points, so we might as well get rid of those two living treasures when the time comes.The old Mr. Zhong became the commander-in-chief and marched north again. Could it be that Xiao Qian was made of iron?  I even trampled him flat!  " There were more and more echoing voices, getting louder and louder. Yao Gu stroked his beard and nodded slowly. Xiao Zhong also sat down slowly, with a calm demeanor. Only Lao Zhong still closed his eyes and said nothing. "  In the middle of the sound, a cold voice was heard: "The Song Dynasty has supported us for hundreds of years, and at this moment, we are not as good as Xiao Xuanzan who came to surrender!  If you go back, do you have the nerve to say it?  " As soon as this sentence came out, everyone turned their attention. They saw a tall man standing in the tent, with a stern face. It was Yang Keshi. He slowly scanned the crowd, sneered, and looked towards the closed man in the middle.  Lao Zhong, who was sitting upright, cupped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "Mr. Lao Zhong, the century-old reputation of our Western Army has been almost destroyed.  Now if we go back, Liu Yanqing and I will only laugh at fifty steps and laugh at one hundred steps!  Only during the Song Dynasty did our Western Army have the prestige and power that it has enjoyed for hundreds of years.  If the Song Dynasty is gone, what's the use of keeping the Western Army?  The Liao dogs are so weak, and we are all so humiliatingly defeated. When the Jurchen Tatars move south in large numbers, will Xiao Xuanzan be the only one who dares to go north to resist?  They are all seven-foot-tall men, and they are so embarrassed!  " Yang Keshi could no longer suppress his emotions, so he stepped out from the crowd, strode to the middle of the military tent, and said proudly: "The power and positions of generals like us are the result of the corpses of millions of frontier soldiers piled up over the past hundred years.  , we generals, after one generation died, another generation took over, so that we have the power and position we have today!  This reputation and this status are all earned!  Thinking about scheming with others all day long is not our ability. We can't fight those people at this level!  How much better is that husband's appearance than Tong Guan and the rest of his generation?  Now they are just using us, but when the time comes it will be useless, and we will be just as good as Liu Yanqing. Once we get used to it, we will never be able to cheer up again!  " It was quiet in the big tent, and Yang Keshi's voice was heard buzzing. Yao Gu had an angry look on his face, but he restrained himself from getting angry. Xiaozhong looked calm, but couldn't help but look at Lao Zhong. "  Some of the generals were excited, some were excited, but most of them were disapproving. "Xiao Xuan praised the people who returned to the south and reached their current status, whether they were Bailu soldiers or Shengjie soldiers, they all died for him.  When he said he was disobeying orders and going north, the whole army followed him and went north against orders.  If he hadn't been covering our flanks and hiding the Jurchen Tatars that everyone pretended not to see, how could we have been able to fight here peacefully?  Compared to Xiao Xuanzan, we are simply not the same person!  We are not material for fighting in the court. We just have to do our duty well. Defeat Xiao Qian and conquer Yanjing. What do you want?  When the time comes, many people will come to beg you for help!  I want to share in this great effort!  " Yang Keshi took a few steps forward and almost stood in front of Lao Zhong's seat. Under his tall figure, Lao Zhong looked twice as old and decadent. "Xiao Qian is not strong!  I also encountered his chasing horse, and he was as tired as a dog, unable to withstand a single charge!  This little bastard has used up all his energy to feed himself, and now he¡¯s just trying to scare us!  The three armies of Jingyuan, Qin, Feng, and Xihe totaled 60,000. I am willing to be the vanguard. If I cannot win, I am willing to take the head to command the whole army!  " Lao Zhong slowly opened his eyes. After Yang Keshi finished speaking, he still refused to retreat. He stood there with his chest rising and falling. A pair of eyes seemed to be able to spurt out sparks. Xiao Zhong watched Lao Zhong open his eyes and asked in a low voice  Said: "Brother, what do you think?  " Lao Zhong said calmly: "I want to fight, what do you think?  " Hearing Lao Zhong's unsatisfactory words, Yang Keshi raised his eyebrows and his face was filled with joy. Just as he was about to salute, he saw Xiao Zhong standing up and facing him with a firm tone that he had never had before.  The elder brother said: "Brother, you must not fight!  " The tent suddenly became silent again. The generals who had been fighting just now were about to jump up. After eating this drink, they all froze in place. The words they wanted to shout were stuffed in their throats, and they almost choked themselves.  . There was the deepest fatigue in Lao Zhong's expression. He asked in a low voice: "Why?  "Xiao Zhong's expression was extremely solemn, and he bowed deeply: "Brother, your orders are always strictly followed.  But the relationship between the Western Army and the Western Army is too important and does not belong to our family!  If there were no Liu Yanqing and Tong Guan behind him, without these thieves and thieves who would only hold back and fight against each other.  Even if Xiao Qian is ten times stronger than he is now, I will just follow my brother and fight in a bloody battle!  Even if he died in battle, so what?  It is rare for a son of a kind family to die on his bed!  But there are hundreds of generations of generals who have followed us, and tens of thousands of men who have followed us from Shaanxi to fight thousands of miles. We cannot bury them in Gaoliang and Hebei for the sake of our own reputation.  !  The Liao people have been weakened to the extreme. Even if they defeat the Huanqing Army, it will only be a return to the past."If our entire army is here to fight back and seize Yanjing, it's just a matter of Gu Jian!"  We have an army hanging outside, our home is thousands of miles away, and there are internal enemies watching eagerly behind us. All decisions we make can only be made with caution, and we cannot easily ruin our Western Army!  ¡­Brother, can you ensure that once we have a stalemate with Xiao Qian, Liu Yanqing and Tong Guan will not do anything to us?  They wish that our three armies would be buried in Gaoliang and Hebei like the Huanqing Army!  If my brother insists on going his own way, I can only lead the Qin Feng Army to retreat first, leaving some seeds for our Western Army!  " As soon as Xiao Zhong finished speaking, Yao Gu also stood up and saluted Lao Zhong: "Mr. Lao Zhong, please think twice!  " Inspired by Xiao Zhong and Yao Gu, the generals of Qin Feng Army and Xihe Army all stood up and bowed deeply to Lao Zhong. Even many generals of Xihe Army, which Lao Zhong directly led, stood up.  , followed by saluting Lao Zhong. Yang Keshi stayed there, his hands and feet were in a state of wandering, and he didn't know where he was at this time.  A pawn in front of him was much happier than the shameful and angry situation he was in today! He looked around at the generals who were bowing to the old man and shouted: "What's the difference between me and Liu Yanqing?  Is the Western Army that cannot fight still the Western Army?  The Western Army is finished, the Western Army is finished!  " The roar echoed in the tent, and before the sound left, Yang Keshi gritted his teeth, turned around and rushed out. Several people wanted to hold him, but did not stretch out their hands. " Lao Zhong watched Yang Ke go.  Shi rushed out of the tent, but did not stand up to stop him. He just whispered to himself: "The Western Army is over?"  Is the Western Army finished?  " Lao Zhong can only understand Xiao Zhong Yao Gu's decision. If it weren't for the Northern Expedition, Ji Hui Xiao Yan's decision would undoubtedly be the same as Xiao Zhong Yao Gu's. " The Western Army is a big one  It is a fact that the Song Dynasty is the only field group that can fight. After a hundred years of development, the Western Army is also a collective of interests of several generations of generals. Naturally, when Xixia invades the border, everything they do is to protect the interests of these generals.  There is no doubt that the army will fight to the end to defend their homeland. However, when they were called out and saw that the imperial court was trying to break up the long-standing alliance of interests, the Western Army was naturally divided and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.  It is not surprising that a decisive battle with Xiao Qian is possible. How could a veteran like Xiao Zhong Yao Gu not see that Xiao Qian was at the end of his strength?  There is a possibility of a stalemate. Once there is a stalemate, Lao Zhong has no doubt that Liu Yanqing and Tong Guan will definitely use their hands to drag their Jingyuan, Qin, Feng, and Xihe armies into the same disastrous situation as him. As long as the soldiers and horses are there!  , even if he retreated when he saw the enemy, he still had room to deal with the court. In the lawsuit with Liu Yanqing, Tong Guan and others, he still had a slight upper hand. As for how long the Northern Expedition would be delayed, could Xiao Yan be able to hold on to the Jurchens?  It doesn't matter if the Jurchen took advantage of the situation and gained the strategic position of Youyan. As long as the interests of these generals of the Western Army are still there! I am old and can take over my position.  The crazy young man wanted a decisive battle regardless of the situation. But Xiao Zhong, who would take over the Western Army, a huge combination of interests, could not If he insisted on fighting, Xiao Zhong and Yao Gu would definitely lead the Qin Feng Army and the Xihe Army.  He turned around and left. It was unknown how much of the Jingyuan Army would be left in Hebei to follow him and fight to the death A sarcastic smile appeared on Lao Zhong's lips. He didn't know if he was laughing at himself or others.  I didn't expect that my old man still had a trace of blood and actually went against everyone's advice and said that I wanted to fight? But, after all, the old man is a member of the Western Army and cannot escape from the Western Army   We can't save this kind of apocalypse. So, can Xiao Yan take on such a heavy burden? He is too weak, too weak The Song Dynasty court is such a deep water that even I can't bear it.  How will Xiao Yan survive until his strength is enough to restore the collapsed sky? After thinking about it, Lao Zhong was in a trance for a while, and then Xiao Zhong came to his senses.  , all the generals in the tent stood up and made a deep salute to him, no one moved. Lao Zhong laughed: "You are from the Western Army, how can you still disobey the Western Army?"  Okay, no fight, retreat, retreat!  Return to Gaoliang, Henan, and wait for the lawsuit with Liu Taiwei and Tong Xuanshuai!  " Heavy snow also fell one after another on the Gaoliang River. The rushing river water has not yet frozen due to the cold weather. A floating bridge has alreadyWhen it came to the end, the hurried soldiers gathered at the bridge head and tied and tied them up hard, making them clang and bang.  This is the ferry crossing where the Evervictorious Army led by Zhao Liangsi and Guo Yaoshi headed.  Both sides have deployed their forces and are engaged in a life-and-death battle.  Who cares about the movements of their miscellaneous military bugle?  The pontoon bridge is only now close to completion. The lack of equipment and materials is one of the reasons. If Zhao Liangsi hadn't sold his identity as a confidant, he might not have been able to collect half of the equipment and materials to build the pontoon bridge.  None of the civilians could be transferred to them. At that time, the Huanqing Army was already in a hurry to collect military supplies. No matter how much face Zhao Liangsi had, he could not steal food from Liu Yanqing.  In the end, we only had to urge the Changsheng soldiers to build it themselves. They were all novices, so the progress was naturally not fast enough. Zhao Liangsi, who supervised the work every day, was so anxious that he jumped off his feet.  On the other hand, it was because Xiao Qian copied the Huanqing Army Ferry.  A large group of Liao cavalry rolled past, and the soldiers were not too far from the ferry here.  Here, you can see the fireworks that rose up from the fierce battle that day.  If the Liao people discovered this place, they would just wipe it out and be done with it.  During the fierce fighting that day, work here had to be suspended. Everyone in the Changsheng Army watched the fierce fighting in the direction of the ferry crossing of the Huanqing Army on the south bank of the river with fear.  However, what happened to the Huanqing Army was the result that Zhao Liangsi and Guo Yaoshi had been waiting for.  The opportunity they had been waiting for finally came!  When the Liao army withdrew from the banks of the Gaoliang River and concentrated its main force to storm the Huanqing Army camp, both Zhao Liangsi and Guo Yaoshi frantically urged the Chang Sheng Army to work hard and build the pontoon bridge as soon as possible.  He also did his best to send a small number of sentinels to inquire about the war situation between Song and Liao.  Military intelligence reports came one after another. The back route of the Huanqing Army was completely destroyed, the pontoon bridge was burned, and only half of the back route guards and civilians were able to escape to the south bank of the Gaoliang River.  The Liao army stormed Liu Yanqing's camp. Looking from a distance, one could see the brutal fighting on the battlefield and the murderous intent rising into the sky!  At the end of the day and night, it was learned that Liu Yanqing abandoned his army and fled first. He only led a few dozen riders to cross the Gaoliang River and left the Huanqing army at the foot of Yanjing City.  The entire army collapsed immediately and fled in all directions, suffering heavy casualties. It was completely difficult to exist as an army.  Xiao Qian immediately gathered his troops and horses, marched eastward, and pressed against the three armies of Qin Feng and Xihe in Jingyuan, completely opening his way back.  Yanjing City was placed in front of Zhao Liangsi and Guo Yaoshi!  Everything is the most ideal result!  Zhao Liangsi¡¯s eyes were completely red, and he refused to leave on the pontoon, walking back and forth with the supervisor.  On behalf of Tong Guan, he has promised countless rewards. As long as they can enter Yanjing first, the entire army will have more than a million Guan, and every one of them will be counted, and they will have a rich future in the Song Dynasty!  Pharmacist Guo was following Zhao Liangsi. He had great prestige among the Ever-Victorious Army. He chatted and laughed easily with his brothers. In between words, he explained the current situation in Yanjing to his brothers in detail, and he even made a few jokes from time to time.  He swore a few curse words and looked relaxed, waiting for success.  "Compared to Zhao Liangsi's jumping up and down, the Changsheng Army still believed in Guo Yaoshi more.  Unknowingly, it had encouraged Yaoshi Guo and Zhao Liangsi.  The Liao people defeated the Huanqing Army and suffered heavy losses themselves. They fought with the three armies of Qin, Feng, and Xihe in Jingyuan, and for some time the winner could not be decided.  The Liao people only have so many soldiers and horses, and they don't care about the east but not the west. Now in Yanjing City, they are in front of their ever-victorious army that has encountered unpredictable situations and several ups and downs!  As long as Yanjing is captured, everyone may really have a background in the Song Dynasty and no longer have to live in this troubled world where today and tomorrow are unknown, right?  As night gradually fell, the pontoon bridge finally reached the north bank. The Changsheng sergeants of the brigade were already in formation, ready to cross the pontoon bridge, reach the north bank, and finally rush to Yanjing City, which was no longer defended by the main force of the Liao army!  Guo Yaoshi and Zhao Liangsi were on horseback, both standing at the front of the queue.  The horse under Zhao Liangsi's crotch seemed to feel its master's restlessness, and kept neighing in a low voice.  Pharmacist Guo looked much calmer. He glanced at Zhao Liangsi, who had a serious face, and said with a smile: "Zhao Xuanzan, when we attack the city, please Xuanzan to stay back. The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and Xuanzan has been injured."  Who will Mr. Guo rely on in the future? Wanwang Xuanzan takes care of his family. It will be a long time before Mr. Guo relies on Zhao Xuanzan" Zhao Liangsi's expression remained motionless, with sharp waves flashing in his eyes.  He stared blankly at the river in front of him and whispered to himself: "Finally, I've waited Finally, I've waited! This opportunity has come so hard If a man can't live without a meal, what else is there in life?  Interesting?" He turned his head sharply and looked at Medicine Master Guo fiercely: "Master Guo, you must capture Yanjing! Mr. Zhao and Marshal Xuan will ensure your prosperity in the Song Dynasty!  , it¡¯s nothing more than leaving it to you to guard If you can¡¯t take Yanjing, Lord Guo wants to be an idler in the Song Dynasty, but it¡¯s not possible!¡± In Zhao Liangsi¡¯s vicious words, Medicine Master Guo didn¡¯t give a damn!He was not angry, but instead bowed solemnly and agreed with great respect: "Guo, do you dare not to die in service?" Just as the two of them were talking to each other, a small cheer came from in front of the pontoon bridge, and a voice was heard: "The bridge is ready.  "It's gone!" Zhao Liangsi waited for this voice. He didn't know how long he waited, but dozens of white hairs appeared. He gave the horse a whip and rushed out first.  Pharmacist Guo followed him closely with a sullen face. Following the orders of the generals of the Ever-Victorious Army, the soldiers of the brigade swarmed onto the bridge, crossed the Gaoliang River, and headed straight for the Yanjing city wall in the night!
