    Volume 2, Bianliang Mistake, Chapter 46 (Two) In the inner courtyard of Yaogu Yamen, it was quiet these days. Everyone knew that this husband, as Yanjing was besieged for a long time, became more and more  It's because of bad temper. Some of the servants who were retained by the noble families of the former Liao Dynasty had committed some crimes and were beaten out of bed. They were thrown out of the house like a pile of mud.  None of them were well-established people that the Yao family had used for a long time, and they all became even more silent. Everyone was extremely cautious, for fear of provoking this husband. It turned out that Yao Gu had to visit his old husband every day.  The old man had no orders. He couldn't leave for the past few days, but occasionally walked around the city wall. He looked at the flags of the Fengtian Initiative and the Liao Army flashing in the distance outside, and his face became doubly ugly.  Although it was still daytime, the inner courtyard was as quiet as a mourning hall. The servants occasionally ran around and stood on tiptoe, fearing to make any unnecessary noise. Although Yao Gu was a general, he was not an incompetent person.  . In fact, many of the generals in the Western Army have scholarly families. These generals have been inherited for at least several decades. How can the next generation be still a rude warrior? Although this is just a temporary residence, it is.  There is also a large study room. The bookshelves are full of rare books collected from the wealthy families in Yanjing City. Many of them were taken away from Bianliang by the Liao Emperor Abaoji. However, Yao Gu did not read any of them at this time.  What he was looking at was that he was wearing a purple robe with a round collar and a soft turban, sitting on a bed and thinking deeply. There were several letters on the table, pressed with sapphire paperweights.  They had all been turned over for Yao Gu. There was a sudden noise outside, and Yao Gu raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to have a seizure, the servant on duty at the door was already trembling slightly and hurriedly replied: "My nephew is here.  "Please see my husband." Yao Gu snorted and waved his hand without looking back, signaling the visitor to come in. Hearing the sound of boots, a red-faced man in his early thirties walked in and came to Yao Gu's desk.  He bowed deeply and said, "General, I will see you at the end." Yao Gu sat up straight and said calmly: "Pingzhong, let's talk about the family etiquette. There is no military affairs now. They are just sitting in the city, waiting to see Xiao Yan quell the chaos.  "The red-faced young man who came here was eight feet tall, tall and strong, with a slight beard. He looked awe-inspiring and majestic. His face was quite weathered, but he had been on the front line of the war against Xixia for many years.  The traces left by sleeping in the open. He was Yao Gu's nephew. His mother died when he was young, and his father took pity on him and raised him as his son. Yao Pingzhong was brave and brave.  Dare to fight, even compared to Yao Gu's biological sons. Sometimes Yao Gu talked with people in private, and said that his career would be handed over to his nephew in the future. During the Northern Expedition, the Western Army captured Jingyuan.  Most of the time, Qin Feng and Xihe's troops were fighting, and Yao Pingzhong didn't show much ability. He just followed his uncle to help manage the army. At this time, Yao Gulai went to the camp, and Yao Pingzhong was in charge.  Come and give back every day.  Since Yao Gu stopped going to Lao Zhong, he also stopped talking to other generals.  But I still have to see this nephew.  Seeing Yao Gu waving his hands, Yao Pingzhong found a bench and sat down, with his hands hanging on his knees and his face raised, waiting for Yao Gu to ask questions.  Yao Gu pondered for a moment and asked: "How is the army?" Yao Pingzhong shook his head: "What else can be done? Even if there are chickens and dogs outside, they can surround Yanjing City three times. After ten or twenty days,  , the morale of the army is naturally unstable. The army is alone, and it is afraid of being surrounded. Although the ministers above have their own ideas, how do the soldiers below know that they are all clamoring to fight to clear the retreat?  Although I and the generals tried their best to suppress it, we became increasingly unable to suppress it. " Yao Gu's face was serious and there was no expression of emotion on his face. He continued: " Since the Northern Expedition, we have been going west.  In fact, the army did not fight any serious battles, but tens of thousands of people were injured at Baigouhe, not to mention the Huanqing army. The morale of the army was not very high. Now there are many complaints about the husband.  The Xianggong strictly ordered all the troops to sit in the city, and the soldiers below were all talking privately. Could it be that the old Xianggong really wanted to destroy the Western Army?  It's going to be bad" Yao Gu slammed the writing desk in front of him, and the sapphire paperweight jumped up high, and then fell heavily: "What's going to happen is that it's going to be bad? What arrangement does the old gentleman have, please just abide by it.  , What else are you saying? If you continue to disturb the morale of the military and fail to obey military orders, is it true that military law is in vain? " Yao Pingzhong immediately heard the resentment in Yao Gu's words, and immediately felt that there was room for further comment.  He is a warm-hearted person to begin with, and he does not think that the Yao family is now in the Western Army territory.?To be satisfied.  In real history, Yao Pingzhong can be described as a strange person.  In the battle of conquering Fangla, Yao Pingzhong had meritorious service. Tong Guan asked him what reward he wanted, but Yao Pingzhong said that he only wanted to meet with the officials.  When Tong Guan saw how enthusiastic he was, he made no arrangements.  The Jurchens went south to surround Bianliang, and Yao Pingzhong came up with a strange plan to lead the Forbidden Army and other troops with no fighting ability to attack the Jurchen camp at night, but the result was a complete defeat.  There is nothing surprising about the defeat. It is not easy to fight to the death with the Jurchens at this time.  Surprisingly, Yao Pingzhong did not return to Bianliang. He fled westwards for 750 miles and did not stop until he reached Huashan.  You felt unsafe, so he rushed to Sichuan in one breath and lived in seclusion. He did not leave the mountain until he was more than eighty years old.  This person's character is extremely bold, willing to take risks to achieve extraordinary feats, and achieve high status. This is most vividly demonstrated in his life and career.  At this moment, in his opinion, it might be the time when the Yao family replaced the Zhong family in the Western Army. Yao Pingzhong looked at Yao Gu steadily and suddenly said loudly: "Uncle, please don't be offended if my nephew says a word."  The breath in Yao Gu's chest was still not calming down, he frowned and said coldly: "If you want to say something straight, what are you hiding in front of someone?" Yao Pingzhong took a breath, stood up and said: "Why should we be trapped in Yanjing?  , waiting for Xiao Yan to make such a great contribution to quelling the chaos? Why don't we, the Western Army, get this credit? Zhi Niang, but I think he only needs an order from his uncle, and his nephew will set off in ten days.  Within a short time, I will sweep away the big stone of Bird Yelu." Yao Gu did not get angry. What was rare was that he just sighed and waved his hands lazily: "There is no need to say these words again. I have already expressed my opinions to Mr. Zhong, but it is useless. Now  Just sit in the city and do everything you want." Yao Pingzhong didn't give up, straightening his neck and protesting: "Old Mr. Zhong is so old that he killed tens of thousands of men in Baigou River. Why are you still here?  Do you want to listen to him? The Zhong family refuses to accept this great achievement. Our Yao family wants Qin Fengjun to have 20,000 warriors. Enough to defeat Yelu Dashi, the angels are in the city. They keep asking us to send troops to quell the chaos. We must obey the order.  It's a matter of course. After this battle is over, the only person who will control the position of the Western Army's four routes and hold the title of envoy is you." Yao Gu suddenly stood up, his face was as iron as steel, and he stared at Yao Pingzhong angrily.  The voice said: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you weren't a nephew of a certain family, I would have enforced military law and got out of here." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In another place in Yanjing City, inside the old government office.  A fair-faced and handsome young military attache was being introduced for the flag officer.  This young officer who looked a bit like a Bianliang vagabond was none other than Zhang Xian, the personal guard commander of his Diao Mao capital stationed by Xiao Yan to liaise with Yanjing City.  He has been in Yanjing City for some time. In addition to going to the old government office to listen to instructions every day, he also walks around in Yanjing City.  He lived in Xiao Yan's original government office in Yanjing. The servants in Xiao Yan's original government office and some of their belongings were left behind, all of which were deployed by Zhang Xian.  Every night Zhang Xian would hold a banquet in the government office to entertain the generals of the Western Army.  Although Zhang Xian comes from a humble background, he is a energetic young man who has no stage fright and is almost innate in his ability to make friends.  These days have been quite lively, and I have made many friends in the Western Army.  Within two days, as Yanjing was besieged for a long time, something was wrong.  The soldiers invited were invited to a banquet in the government office, so they refused to go.  It used to be that Zhang Xian could enter the camp in Xijun City with just a notification, but now it is often blocked.  Zhang Xian himself knew the reason. Everyone in the Western Army, except Lao Zhong, deeply appreciated Xiao Yan.  The relationship between the others and Xiao Yan's group is good or bad.  Host Lao Zhong and Xiao Yanlian, under the influence of Lao Zhong, when the situation is going smoothly, everyone will naturally come and go, and everything will be fine in terms of face.  But now that they have been besieged for a long time, the morale of the army is naturally turbulent. No matter whether it is Bianliang or Xiao Yan, there is no news. How can these generals in the Western Army group not have other thoughts? The Western Army is asking for their own troops.  , Zhang Xian has already heard the call to clear up this mess first.  Because of this, he ran towards Laozhong more and more frequently.  The Western Army has to be suppressed by Laozhong. But Laozhong is old after all, and his energy is no longer strong. Now, except for the general direction, he has rarely dealt with the general affairs of the army.  Zhang Xian is just a little military attache sent by the personal guard commander. How can he see this old gentleman?  Every time I come here to pray, I am always disappointed.  But Zhang Xian could only run one trip at a time. The more urgent the wind sounded outside, the more frequently he ran.  Xuan Zan placed the responsibility of liaison on himself, how could he ruin Xuan Zan's important matter? But he didn't expect that a miracle happened today, Lao Zhong actuallyI saw myself as a little commander, led by the flag officer, walking through the heavily guarded outer courtyard with armored guards everywhere.  Entering the inner courtyard where the maids and servants were everywhere, after several twists and turns, the flag officer led Zhang Xian into the flower hall.  I don¡¯t know which prince from the Liao Dynasty belonged to this government office in the past. I have been deeply immersed in Sinology, so the enjoyment of taking it has become completely Chinese.  This flower hall is surrounded by transplanted exotic flowers and plants from the south, and it is cold in the north.  Under these soils, ceramic earth dragons were placed at great expense. Although it is north, it can still create a microclimate that is as warm as spring all year round.  There was a military disaster in Yanyun, and all the exotic flowers and plants from the south were destroyed, but the earthworms buried underground were still intact.  The confidant flag officer who selected the government office for Mr. Lao Zhong immediately took a fancy to this place and asked Lao Zhong to move.  Laozhong is really old. The hard work of fighting for Yan for a year has damaged his vitality. He needs a warm place.  Zhang Xian was fully clothed in armor. It was already mid-spring and he was a young man with rising blood. He was already feeling hot in all the clothes he wore.  The ground near the flower hall steamed up, and his face was covered with sweat.  The clothes under the armor were completely soaked.  Beads of sweat broke out on the flag official's face. Zhang Xian shook his head: "Zhang Yuhou, you live in Yanjing City, why do you need to wear armor when you go out? Mr. Zhong is here, are you afraid that someone will harm you? Others  No matter what the brothers in the army say, they will never fight you. Everyone admires Xiao Xuanzan very much If we can take care of this friendship, naturally we will try our best to take care of it. Even if it doesn't work, everyone will do it.  We are still friends" Zhang Xian's heart sank, this old confidant and flag official had said this.  It seems that everyone in the Western Army feels uncomfortable being trapped in Yanjing City.  It is only natural that people always think about themselves first.  Not to mention that the Western Army is an intertwined group, and the interests of this group are much more important than individuals. But at this time, he could only pretend not to understand the meaning of the official language of the flag, and replied lightly: "I serve  I am responsible for communicating with the Western Army and the Xuanzan Department. If there is anything important, I can just ride out of the city and rush to the battle. To be honest with my brother, even if I sleep, I will still be lying down in armor and clothes. Such a big thing.  , I really don¡¯t dare to neglect you anymore.¡± The flag official gave a thumbs up and said, ¡°Good man.¡± Without saying anything more, he walked into the flower hall to announce Zhang Xian¡¯s arrival.  Not long after, he stepped out again and stood respectfully in front of the steps, extending his hand to greet the guests.  Zhang Xian adjusted his clothes and armor, gathered his energy and walked into the flower hall.  In the flower hall, on a couch, Lao Zhong was dressed in plain clothes and wearing a hood, half lying and half leaning on a brocade cushion. As soon as Zhang Xian saw Lao Zhong's figure, he immediately bowed and said, "I will see Mr. Lao Zhong at the end."  ¡± The old man looked like he was in a bad state of mind, and his face looked very sick.  This is not an act of this old fox whose fur has turned white.  He has passed the age of seventy. The Northern Expedition to Yanyun lasted for a whole year. In a winter when the water in the north turned into ice, this ancient and rare old man set up troops to fight in the field. To say that the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry is a bit exaggerated, but the vitality is weak.  about there.  It was spring weather, and I had caught two colds. I spent the whole day recuperating in this warm flower hall, rarely seeing anyone.  When he saw Zhang Xian bowing down, a smile appeared on his face, he raised his hand gently and said in a weak voice: "There is no need to bow, just get up." After Zhang Xian bowed politely, he saw Lao Zhong motioning for him to sit down.  He knelt down and sat down behind the first few cases.  Putting his hands on his knees, he asked with great respect: "I wonder if Mr. Lao Zhong is summoned, where can I send the general?" Lao Zhong smiled: "It's nothing, you were sent by Xiao Yan, and I just saw you.  Twice, I thought about it today. Let¡¯s see how you are doing in Yanjing and see if there are any inconveniences. Xiao Yan brought Yanjing to the old man for me. If this master doesn¡¯t do well, he will feel a little ashamed  ¡± The old man¡¯s voice is very low, his breath is obviously insufficient, and he speaks very slowly.  Zhang Xian pricked up his ears, not daring to miss a word.  After hearing this, I was just confused. Is Lao Zhong suddenly summoned just to have sex with a young general like himself?  When Lao Zhong asked, Zhang Xian did not dare not answer, so he had to speak honestly: "In the old days in Yanjing's government office, all the utensils and servants were all ready, and there was nothing missing."  Convenient place. Everyone from top to bottom of the Western Army takes good care of the generals. Today there are many banquets with the generals of the Western Army. There is nothing special about it." Lao Zhong smiled lightly: "It has been like this for the past two days.  The old man doesn¡¯t think so" Zhang Xian was shocked and was about to say something.  But Lao Zhong raised his hand to interrupt him and asked another topic: "You came to Yanjing to mediate, how many guards did you bring with you?" Zhang Xian blinked and replied: "Xuan Zan's mink hat.  They all have personal guards, and the last general has led ten people, each of whom has a double horse. The target is too big for too many people., the Western Army is stationed in Yanjing City again, Xuan Zan has nothing to worry about.  " Lao Zhong waved his hand and said softly: "Not enough.  " Without waiting for Zhang Xian's reaction, he pulled a rope beside his couch. The rope was connected to the steps outside the flower hall, causing a bell to ring. Hearing this summons signal, the flag officer who was on duty today immediately stepped into the flower hall.  , bowed to Lao Zhong and went down. Lao Zhong waved his hand and said lightly: "Xu's personal guard in front of the Yamen, later you will take envoy Zhang Yu to select a group of men and horses, select a capable general to lead it, and tell him that I will pass on the military order."  , let him temporarily return to the command of Zhang Yuhou, and he must obey the order and be cautious, do you understand?  "The flag officer was startled. Zhang Xian, who also looked confused, could only agree to one yes. Before the flag officer could ask any more questions, the old man waved his hand and let him go. Then he closed his eyes and let out a long sound.  He didn't say anything. Zhang Xian sat there, sweating like rain, holding back what he wanted to ask, but he couldn't speak. This feeling was worse than sitting on the needle felt. After a while, the old man opened his eyes again.  With a desolate look on his face, he waved his hand to Zhang Xian: "Go ahead. If anything happens in the future, the old man will naturally call you here.  " Zhang Xian stood up and saluted, and before turning around to go out, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Old Zhong Xiang Gong Hui and my troops, are you going to let me lead the troops to break out of the encirclement soon? Do you have any news to pass on to Xiao Xuanzan?  ?  " Old Zhong smiled, not knowing whether he was talking to himself or to Zhang Xian: " The world has changed, and even the Western Army is no longer what it used to be The old man can only try his best to maintain it, but he will not be able to maintain it in the future.  , Let¡¯s just say it again Someone has to take over this stall, and it¡¯s good to know who it is now As for Xiao Xuanzan, it depends on his life" Old Zhong¡¯s words were soft and low,  The meaning was even more ambiguous. Zhang Xian was confused when he saw Lao Zhong closing his eyes again, so he had to retreat gently. The flag official was already waiting outside, but he didn't say anything when he saw Zhang Xian coming out.  He led him to select the guards in front of Laozhong Yamen. After walking a dozen steps away, the flag officer sighed softly, "Ms. Laozhong, I really don't know what to do with the future of the Western Army."  "Look" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~ Night is gradually falling, and outside Yanjing City, there is still the same scene that everyone has been tired of seeing for more than twenty days. Surrounding Yanjing City are the signals of the Song Army camp on the outside, Yanjing.  There are also lights and flags on the fortifications such as the Horse Wall. Outside this circle of lights, there are bonfires lit by the Fu Liao Army all over the mountains and plains. These bonfires are even brighter than they were more than twenty days ago.  There were a lot more, and the city of Yanjing was surrounded by chaos and disorder. Although the troops and horses guarding Yanjing City were many times more rigorous than those of the so-called Fu Liao Army, they still watched themselves being beaten day after day.  The roaring waves outside surrounded the center, and there was no news from all directions. The defenders in Yanjing City, from being disapproving at first, have become restless now. The soldiers on duty guarding the lights and guards on the city wall.  , walking slowly on the wall of Yanjing City, which is wide enough for a car to walk. Everyone seemed a little listless. Occasionally, they gathered together during inspections and chatted in low voices, just guessing when the princes would order troops to go to war.  Defeat these rebels and open up the road. After the discussion, no one had a clue why these battle-hardened ministers would put themselves in such a besieged situation.  They were full of complaints. Several Song soldiers were gathering together to whisper at this time. I don¡¯t know who saw a group of people walking up to the city wall and whispered: "There are generals patrolling the city."  The famous soldiers quickly dispersed, and under the lamps and torches lit at the crenellations of the city wall, they saw Yao Gu walking to the top of the city with his sword in hand. Behind him were all his trusted generals, and his nephew general Yao Pingzhong was also standing beside him.  Everyone looked ugly under the light. Yao Gu didn't say anything, and strode to a section of the city wall where a soldier was patrolling. He pressed the crenel and looked out for a long time. Yao Pingzhong stood beside him.  , took two glances and then snorted: "There are a few more people, but they are still a mob.  Our Qin Fengjun alone is enough to defeat them." Yao Gu pretended not to hear his words. But the confidant generals behind him were all winking. After Yao Gu looked at them, he ignored them and turned to that  The soldiers holding their breath and trembling in fear said: "The enemy has surrounded the city for several times, are you afraid?  "This soldier belongs to the Qin Feng Army, and Yao Gu is the biggest boss in his field. In the past, how could this soldier talk to Yao Gu? Hearing Yao Gu's question, he hurriedly puffed out his chest: "Ms.?What is there to be afraid of?  I have been in the army for six years since the war in Xixia. What kind of enemy have I never seen before? This bunch of rebels cannot withstand our sudden attack." Yao Gu pulled the corner of his mouth and even smiled, and Wen Yan comforted him:  "It's the soldier under my command who sent the order to reward him with wine and meat, and let him skip the patrol all night." The soldier was even more excited after winning the prize, but he said something indifferently: "Mr. Yao, when will you order us to go out?"  Fighting?  Being trapped here is not a problem.  We at Yanjing didn't take advantage of it, so we just let this military achievement go in vain?  We have strong soldiers and horses, why are we being surrounded here? The brothers can¡¯t figure it out.¡± The young officer who led them to patrol this section heard the two soldiers asking questions from a distance, and his eyes burned with anxiety. But the patrol at night  , You are not allowed to leave your own flood defense place without permission. It is useless to be anxious at this time. You can only stomp your feet secretly. The generals behind Yao Gu did not interrupt the soldier's reckless words, and they all had knowing smiles on their lips.  , looked at each other. Yao Pingzhong nodded and smiled at the soldier, expressing encouragement. Yao Gu was stunned, and suddenly sighed softly, and asked softly: "You guys, all think so?"  "The soldier scratched his head and didn't feel anything wrong with the atmosphere here. He nodded and said, "How dare we lie in front of Mr. Yao?"  Brothers all have this thought. It seems that all the credit for this war has gone to others.  The general in charge of our command also told us that this time the Western Army was disgraced and garrisoned far away from the Liao Dynasty. If we were surrounded like this, the imperial court thought that our Western Army could not succeed.  At that time, I'm afraid the fate will be worse than that of the Huanqing Army" Yao Gu suddenly snorted loudly. The soldier was talking lively. Hearing this snort, he was so frightened that his legs almost softened. Yao Gu's face changed.  Tie Qing ignored the soldier, waved his cloak, and strode towards the city. The general behind him and Yao Pingzhong hurriedly followed him. Seeing that Yao Gu and the others were far away from the city, Guan Guan led the army.  The ten generals of the Han Dynasty rushed over and slapped him hard on the head: "In front of Mr. Yao, what nonsense did you do to involve all the commanders and generals?  I'm worried about you, the eighty-year-old military stick is stable." "But at the foot of the city, Yao Gu rode his horse back to the government office without saying a word. The sound of horse hooves could be heard all the way, and no one spoke. When he approached the government office, Yao Gu  Gu finally beckoned Yao Pingzhong to come forward, gritted his teeth and ordered in a low voice: "Pingzhong, go and give advice to the two angels for me.  Arrange the security measures carefully so that the news does not leak out. I will go to worship these two angels overnight." bk
