    Volume 2 Bianliang Mistake Chapter 48 Heavy Rain Dark clouds rolled up from the sky and piled up quickly, forming hideous and weird shapes in people's sight.  The strong wind also gradually picked up, blowing the land of Youyan, and the grass was covered with wind and grass.  Whining across the mountains and rivers in this land.  Pushed by the strong wind, dark clouds came from the horizon to the top of the head, until the entire sky was densely covered into a dark world.  Under the strong wind and dark clouds, there was a panic scene everywhere in the dilapidated camps of the Fengtian Rebellion and Liao Army scattered around Yanjing City.  Except for those lucky commanders who were able to seize control of the dock walls, the various units of the Fu Liao Army, which had insufficient military resources and lacked tents, would suffer a heavy rain in the wilderness.  Everywhere in the camp, the fences are being strengthened, and the drainage ditches around the camp are being dug deeper.  Those confidants of Qu Shuai roared at the top of their lungs against the strong wind, asking their men to work harder, and at the same time ordered the village gate to be closed tightly to prevent others from flooding in to take shelter from the rain.  Each one of them almost choked out the blood in their lungs despite the wind.  Those who have a camp to take shelter from the rain are considered to be the upper class in the Fu Liao Army.  There are countless marshals from all sides who are attached to the Fu Liao Army scattered in the wilderness - now they should be called marshals.  And the refugees who are barely struggling to survive.  During the war, they had to go forward and fill in the ravines in various Wubi fortresses. In normal times, they relied on the scraps of soup and cold food from these camps to survive.  Seeing that a spring rainstorm was about to pour down, each and every one of them, calling for their children, tied up their shabby shacks as solidly as possible, huddled together, and then the cold rain poured down on them, with no food in their bellies.  , I still don¡¯t know how many more nameless corpses will be carried out in the wild fields when the rain stops. To the northwest of Yanjing City, only fifteen or sixteen miles away from the nearest Song Army camp, is the Marshal Fengtian¡¯s Rebellion and Restoration of the Liao Army.  The location of the Fuxing camp is exactly where Yelu Dashi is in charge.  His direct army has more than 4,000 troops. Compared with the camps of other marshals, it is a different scene.  The camp is neat and tidy, and the military equipment is as complete as possible.  Camping here is very strict, and even if the rain is about to pour down, there is no rush like in other camps.  They still dispatched patrol cavalry to patrol the surroundings meticulously, and the officers and soldiers on duty on the wall of the village still maintained their positions and did not move around randomly.  There was even a group of military horses that went out for training and returned as a team, singing the victory songs of the Liao army in the past.  In addition to the lack of ordnance and the tattered military supplies, under the hands of Yelu Dashi, this miscellaneous army and horse still vaguely resembled the regular Daliao army.  Yelu Dashi seems to have recovered a lot from his injuries that day, and is now able to wear armor. At this time, he is wearing black armor, standing on a watchtower, looking at his camp, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, and looking at the distant mountains and rivers.  The recognition flag hanging on the watchtower was blown by the strong wind and crackled, and the corners of the flag kept hitting Yelu Dashi's face, but Yelu Dashi did not move a step or two, but stood there majestically motionless.  This is the strength I have accumulated, and this is my inheritance for the restoration of Daliao in the future. I hope this stalemate lasts longer and I can gain more strength. A general strode up to the watchtower and bowed to Yelu Dashi.  He saluted and said: "Lin Ya, is the sentry going as usual at night today? Please also ask Lin Ya to give the order for the sentry meeting today." Yelu Dashi moved, turned around, and looked at the general who led all the Qingqi sentries under his command.  He did not answer his question first, but asked in a deep voice: "What are the movements of the Song Army's cavalry in Yanjing City as they leave the city?" This is what Yelu Dashi is most concerned about. This general does not dare to neglect at all times, and immediately answers fluently.  : "Every one or two days in Yanjing City, a team of passing cavalry is sent out, either seven or eight cavalry, or more than ten cavalry, all heading south to find a ferry to cross the Gaoliang River. Following Lin Ya's order, I  We didn't intercept them, we just let them cross the Gaoliang River and ignored them Until now, no group of messengers has rushed to the camp where Xiao Yan set up." Yelu Dashi nodded with satisfaction.  , then waved his hands and said: "It's raining heavily tonight, look at the dark clouds, I don't know when it will rain. As long as the rain doesn't stop, no matter day or night, the sentries, detectives, and cavalry will be doubled to make the brothers work harder  The whistle command is just the word "heavy rain" Do it well and you will have a promising future." The general received the order loudly, turned around and retreated from the watchtower.  But Yelu Dashi still stood upright on the watchtower, not moving for a long time.  This army of Fengtian advocated righteousness and restored the Liao Dynasty, if the Song army had not had other ambitions.  Xiao Yan outside and the Western Army inside are unwilling to come over and fight seriously, and they will not be active until now.  As long as the Song army is willing to contribute, the so-called hundreds of thousands of Fengtian-promoting righteousness and restoration of the Liao army will never be able to sustain it for long. There is no doubt about this.  However, it was precisely because of the connivance of the Song Army that Yelu Dashi was given a chance to transform from a lonely man into a commander-in-chief with thousands of troops and horses.With the intention of having a head-on confrontation with the Song Army in the future with these more than 4,000 troops, as soon as the Song Army makes a move to fight, he will definitely preserve his strength and leave. What Yelu Dashi is most concerned about now is that the Song Army is about to go to war.  In his opinion, the Western Army in Yanjing City is not actually something to be afraid of.  Because every move they make is under surveillance.  In such a large Yanjing city, which is dozens of miles around, it is necessary to mobilize troops and horses, and you can see it at a glance.  There is plenty of time to break camp and leave.  What he was afraid of was Xiao Yan's troops behind him. They were all elite cavalry. They came and went like the wind. They might be able to rush in front of them in the blink of an eye.  Xiao Yan's plan to prevent the Liao army from coming out was naturally to threaten the Song Dynasty court. He would only lead his troops to attack when favorable news came from Bianliang.  This news all came from the south. Not only did he isolate himself from the Gaoliang River, he also kept a close eye on the movements of Yanjing.  When he wanted to come, the envoy from the south would of course go straight to Yanjing to issue an order. Yanjing would then send a small team of messengers to look for Xiao Yan to convey the order and let him start acting. As long as he kept an eye on Yanjing, he would also keep an eye on Xiao Yan's movements.  Of course, Yelu Dashi's judgment was accurate, but as a man who has experienced war for a long time, he knew that all kinds of strange things would happen on the battlefield, and no one knew what changes would happen.  These days, as a famous general, his unique battlefield premonition felt more and more wrong. He always felt that the Song army's massive attack and Xiao Yan's sudden advance seemed to be what was happening right in front of him.  But now they can't leave. Yanjing is surrounded and the Fu Liao army is freely moving around. It's a time when the spirit is high.  He suddenly broke out of camp, and he didn't know how many people he could take with him. Those commanders from all walks of life sent their elites to him for training. They expected him to protect everyone, but they didn't let him bring everyone's strength with him.  Only by waiting for the Song army to press forward can he be sure to take away all these soldiers and horses. And he is not willing to hold on for a little longer. With each passing day, the strength in his hands becomes stronger.  To restore the glorious Liao Dynasty with the power of one person, every bit of strength is extremely precious. It is really not easy to seize this opportunity accurately I am alone and want to restore the country. It is really difficult.  Thousands of difficulties At this moment, even if you are as tough as Yelu Dashi, you can't help but sigh in your heart.  He suddenly thought of Dong Dalang again. He wondered what happened when Dong Dalang went to attack Tanzhou.  I wonder if I can pester Xiao Yan for a while?  Maybe the situation in front of us has changed, right now, at this critical juncture, it is the best news to delay Xiao Yan for a moment. While thinking, a raindrop suddenly fell on Yelu's big stone helmet, which could not help but lean out.  There was a gentle sound of breaking raindrops.  Then more raindrops fell, and in a blink of an eye, the sky and the earth were completely white.  The heavy rain poured down from the beginning, falling on the Youyan mountains and rivers. The strong wind pulled the raindrops flying in all directions. The flag on the top of the Yelu Big Stone was already soaked, and the flagpole was slapped in the wind.  Snap.  Under the cold rain, Yelu Dashi, who had thought too deeply, perked up and held the railing of the watchtower tightly.  Maybe the break is just around the corner, no, I can almost definitely feel that the opportunity to break the game is right in front of me, it depends on whether I can grasp it ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The heavy rain also shrouded everything in Yanjing City in rain and fog  In the mist.  Turn everything in the world into a dark and obscure color.  The rain poured on the tent of the military tent in a camp in Yanjing City, making a heavy sound.  It seemed to strike into the hearts of everyone in the tent.  The camp here is located on a piece of white ground after Yanjing City was burned that day. It was Yao Gu and Qin Fengjun who directly led the Chinese army.  Most of the Yanjing garrison was outside and built a stronghold near the city to guard the outskirts of Yanjing.  A small half of them stayed in Yanjing City.  The orthodox way to defend a city is to rely on both internal and external forces. If the generals and horses are collected into the city and piled on the city wall.  That's waiting to die, not fighting.  The three armies of Jingyuan, Qin, Feng and Xihe all have troops under the direct leadership of various general managers, ranging in size.  It is equivalent to the most confidant troops of these Taiwei and Xianggong.  Qin Feng's army directly led the troops into a single column, with two thousand infantry. After the great victory at Yanjing, they added another five hundred cavalry. They were led by Yao Pingzhong. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were Yao Gu's personal troops.  At this moment, all the prominent generals in Qin Feng's army gathered in the military tent. Everyone looked at Yao Gu who was standing at the top and couldn't stop pacing.  After negotiating with Yu Wenxuzhong Geng Nanzhong, Yao Gu notified Qin Fengjun's capable generals inside and outside the city overnight.  Basically, he promoted him after he took control of Qin Fengjun, and he has no deep relationship with the Zhong family.  They entered the city quietly during the day, and gathered in the military tent when night fell to discuss matters. Once agreed, they left the city through the gate controlled by Qin Fengjun at night.  As long as they leave the city, it will be difficult for the old man to react. He just orders his troops and sends them out.The fight with the Fu Liao Army destroyed several Fu Liao Army camps. Even if Lao Zhong came personally, there was no reason to stop and could only continue to fight.  In this way, the plan of Yao Gu, Yu Wenxu, Geng Nazhong and others was completed. Yao Gu entered his Chinese army camp early and waited for the generals to gather.  Yu Wenxuzhong and Geng Nanzhong did not follow him into the army.  These two people's goals are too big. If they follow Yao Gu, the news will probably leak out.  However, the two of them also jointly wrote the memorial, which is now in the hands of Yao Gu. As Yao Gu left the city to quell the chaos, the memorial was sent to Bianliang City at the same time. The generals had gathered in the tent for a while, but Yao Gu was speechless.  I have been pacing in the tent and thinking deeply for a long time.  The generals all watched all this eagerly. When they came, Yao Pingzhong caught them and revealed more or less the news.  Most of the people were surprised and happy.  He was restrained in Yanjing City and let Xiao Yan go and make meritorious deeds.  Few people understand Lao Zhong's arrangement. It's just that Lao Zhong's prestige is too great, so everyone has no choice but to obey.  Now that Mr. Yao wants to do it himself, it seems that this great achievement is about to be achieved.  Wu Chen's mind is still simpler. He has such an easy feat and is about to get it. How can he not be happy?  Even if some people were disapproving of Yao Gu for leaving the old husband to do his own thing and hooking up with the court angel, but Yao Pingzhong and his guards were watching closely, what could everyone do?  Might as well just go with the pandemic, it won't do much harm anyway.  It was quiet inside the tent, except for the sound of the torrential rain and the heavy breathing of the people in the tent.  After waiting for a while, Yao Pingzhong jumped up first and said loudly: "Mr. Yao, what else are you going to suffer? Since you have made up your mind, why not act early?" Yao Gu stopped and glanced at his nephew with a livid face, and said angrily  He shouted: "Are there any rules left in the military tent? Military orders are up to you. When will it be your turn to speak? Back off." Yao Pingzhong did not step back. He straightened his neck and defended: "Ms. Yao is just caring about Mr. Zhong.  Enyi, this time Mr. Zhong sent our Western Army to death without making any achievements. Should we wait for the court to come to its senses and then slowly take care of most of our Western Army?  In other words, this is the best way to repay Mr. Lao Zhong's kindness." He strode to the door of the tent and lifted the curtain: "This heavy rain is the time for us to set out with our troops and take advantage of it.  How long will it take for the golden opportunity to destroy the disorganized Liao army? If it continues to be delayed, it will be difficult to find out. Moreover, the rain will not stop easily. If it is delayed for another day, the land will be ruined.  It¡¯s clear that the army is in a difficult situation and cannot advance or retreat. Should we wait for Mr. Lao Zhong to investigate our mistakes one by one? Mr. Lao Zhong has two armies at Jingyuan and Xihe. We only have Qin Feng. When the time comes, we will be annexed.  After changing the generals, it¡¯s just a matter of idleness, uncle, I really can¡¯t put it off any longer.¡± Yao Gu listened intently to Yao Pingzhong¡¯s words, glanced at the generals, and saw that although everyone was slightly confused, most of them were still excited and eager to try.  He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Old Mr. Zhong will not annex our Qin Feng Army. The entire Western Army is his descendant. What is he doing here?" After saying this, Yao Gu gritted his teeth and finally took a look at the military case in front of him.  : "But you kid is right, Mr. Lao Zhong, this decision is wrong. It only harms our Western Army. In order to preserve Mr. Lao Zhong's plan, only Qin Fengjun himself will be harmed."  First send out the army and horses, rush in front of Xiao Yan, and clear up this chaos first. Now that we have made a decision, we have no choice but to look back." As he finished speaking through gritted teeth, he immediately stood up in the military tent and loudly announced the order.  The two commanders of the central army mobilized all five hundred light cavalry, and the guard generals took advantage of the night to come out of the city gate controlled by Qin Feng's army.  Rushed to the military stronghold south of Yanjing where Qin Fengjun was in charge.  As soon as the generals left the city, they rushed to each village, mobilized their elite troops, and gathered in one place before dawn.  Thousands of elite troops mobilized by the Qin Feng Army marched in in the rain, first destroying the large and small camps of the Liao army in front of them, and then the rest of the Qin Feng Army's troops came up one after another to open up the passage from Yanjing to the Gaoliang River, and then headed towards  The two wings swept across and wiped out the main force of the Fu Liao Army near Yanjing in one fell swoop. As Yao Gu's orders were passed down, the generals whose names were called all bowed and stood up to accept the orders. Yao Gu stood at the entrance of the tent, his face flushed with excitement.  Holding the sword on his waist, he scanned the generals in the tent again and again.  At this moment, no one dared to show the slightest hesitation and retreat. After a while, Yao Gu had finished giving the order, as if he could no longer support his body. He immediately sat down on the chair and covered his face with his hands.  ,in silence.  However, this weakness only lasted a moment. Yao Gu quickly opened his eyes again, glanced at the generals, and spoke in an extremely low voice: "Brothers, don't blame me for disobeying Mr. Laozhong's order I also did it for  Everyone in the Western Army must take the lead in this battle and destroy the entire Fu Liao Army in one fell swoop. Yelu Dashi disobeyed orders and went out. Once the battle fails, everyone knows what will happen."   There was a hint of sadness in Yao Gu's tone.  Everyone felt awe in their hearts when they heard this, and stood up together, loudly responding to the order: "I will obey the order of your Majesty." Yao Gu also stood up, keeping all his weak and wavering emotions in his heart at this moment, and loudly ordered: "Serve the general manager of this capital in armor.  ¡± ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~ In the heavy rain, Laozhong Xianggong¡¯s office was also shrouded in darkness.  Inside the government office, there was total silence, and even the servants rarely moved around.  Only the armored guards were still standing frozen in the rain and fog in various places in the outer courtyard.  Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps treading water outside, but it was a general in his thirties, wearing a military attach¨¦ uniform of a medium size. He was let in by the gatekeeper outside, and accompanied him in the rain.  Go straight into the inner courtyard.  In the blink of an eye, Laozhong's confidant Flag Officer also came out from the inner courtyard, hurriedly caught the military attache, and went straight into the inner courtyard under the gaze of many armored guards.  In the inner courtyard, it was also dark. Only the flower hall where Lao Zhong was was lit with lights, projecting a dim light in the rain and fog.  ¡°The old man is an old man after all. When he was young, he was a murderer, but when he is old, he is afraid of the dark. If he doesn¡¯t light the lights brightly every night, he will toss and turn over and over again, unable to fall asleep.  The flag officer did not wait to inform Lao Zhong first, and took the military attache and strode into the flower hall where Lao Zhong was.  Lao Zhong was leaning on the couch, doing nothing, just closing his eyes and concentrating.  It rained heavily today, and he was covered with a thick quilt again, making him look even more thin and haggard.  The flag officer led the military attache and strode in, startling Lao Zhong. He glanced sideways and said nothing.  The flag officer was already soaked to the skin, and he was trembling slightly when he spoke. He didn't know whether it was because of the cold or because he was anxious.  "Mr. Zhong, there has been some movement in Qin Feng's army. Xianggong Yao gathered all the generals of Qin Feng's army to discuss matters in the military tent." The military attache knelt down with a plop and reported loudly at the same time: "Mr. Zhong placed us in Qin Feng's army that day. I was in front of Xianggong Yao.  There was a deputy commanding officer in charge of the central army, and he saw with his own eyes the generals gathered in the army to discuss matters. General Nephew kept a close eye on the central army. I heard some rumors that Qin Feng's army was going to fight alone, and it was easy to suppress the rebels.  I had to offer a bargain to get out, and I rushed here to report to Mr. Lao Zhong." Lao Zhong didn't say a word. He slowly turned over and sat up, looked at the military attache and said warmly: "You did a good job   Go down and rest first. The purpose of placing you that day was to have a good grasp of the military situation, so that the Western Army could act like an arm and a finger. Unexpectedly, it would come in handy today" The military attache knew the depth of the water inside, and he  It was brought out by the old man. Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with Qin Fengjun's going to war, it was a big deal for Yao Gu to disobey orders and do things without permission. With loyalty, he tried his best to report back. At this moment, the responsibility was over. He could not interfere with other things.  of.  Immediately he kowtowed and stood up. The flag officer naturally arranged for someone to pick him up and leave.  Lao Zhong looked at his trusted flag officer again and whispered: "Send someone to inform Zhang Xian and ask him to lead the team through Yifeng Gate to inform Xiao Yan that the Yelu Stone must be defeated within three days. The morale of the army is in chaos.  , the old man can only help him block these three days." The flag officer agreed and said hesitantly: "Can't Mr. Zhong just make up a military order, just take advantage of the situation and send out all the troops to wipe out these rebels.  Mr. Lao Zhong, why do you have to give it to Xiao Yan?" Lao Zhong smiled lightly and shook his head: "You don't understand." The flag official looked at Lao Zhong and stood up, and suddenly knelt down and said with tears.  Mr. Zhong, if you want to go out in such a heavy rain, why can't you take a step back and obey Mr. Yao's wishes? It's a great achievement to wipe out the rebels." Lao Zhong smiled and stood up and took two steps.  He patted himself, a loyal flag officer, on the shoulder: "Qu Wu, have you been following the old man for twenty years? The Western Army is old Without Xiao Yan at the front, the Western Army would probably end up even worse.  And if something happens in the future and the Western Army is about to be destroyed, perhaps only Xiao Yan can pull the Western Army backAnd the old man has been a minister of the Song Dynasty all his life, so he must think about the future of the Song Dynasty  It's ridiculous to say that the old man is already in danger, why do you want to go so far?" He said in a calm voice, almost in a gentle voice: "Prepare the pen and ink, I have a letter to bring you?  Xiao Yan then went out to send orders to Zhang Xian. After finishing the arrangements, he came back and served the old man in armor. " bk
