    Xiao Yan asked softly, every word was crucial.  The Western Army has long since become an unbreakable quasi-vassal group whose biggest goal is its own survival and development.  This is already an undeniable fact, otherwise the DPRK and China would not spend so much effort to guard against the Western Army.  [.] The Western Army must be maintained, and the generals of the Western Army must maintain their wealth and honor.  The original foundation was that Xixia was rampant, and the court could not touch the interests of the Western Army no matter what.  Now that this is no longer available, the Western Army must find other ways.  The Western Army was mobilized for three years of expedition in Youqi, Jiangnan, and fought fiercely in two battles, severely weakening its vitality.  What I want to do most now is to return to my hometown and recuperate my energy.  The Western Army, which had been torn to pieces by Tong Guan and others in the imperial court, was then reunited.  According to the normal development path, the Western Army would not have had this opportunity. In real history, after the disgraceful war against Yan, only one part of the Western Army had to return to Shaanxi, and a considerable number of troops and horses remained in either Hedong or Hebei.  .  After being divided by the imperial court, the morale of the Western Army dropped sharply, and each unit no longer had enough strength.  After the Jurchens went south, the Western armies left behind in Hedong and Hebei, except for Wang Zhenshang, who defended for a while in Taiyuan, were all defeated.  The Western Army, which had just returned to Shaanxi and had not yet finished licking its wounds, was led out by the commander Qin Wang. As a result, the entire army was annihilated when they aided Taiyuan.  But now, the situation is different.  All the princes in the court were staring at Xiao Yan and the victorious army led by Shenwu.  After all, the first one is the closest, the second one is that Xiao Yan really can't make people feel reassured, and the third one is that the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army's reputation has overshadowed that of the Western Army for a while.  Of course, all the princes in the court must knock down the acorn first.  That¡¯s why there were rumors that the Shenwu Changsheng Army was in control of Hedong, the Huanqing Army was in Hebei, and almost all of the Western Army was in control of Shaanxi.  Everyone in the Western Army breathed a sigh of relief and called it a blessing.  The reason is not because Xiao Yan suddenly appeared and suddenly became a being that attracted the fear and hatred of all the princes in the court!  For the future plans of the Western Army, Xiao Yan must be maintained as a hateful person, so that the Western Army can have enough time to lick its wounds and recuperate.  Until they can maintain their status as generals of the Western Army and maintain their privileged existence in the various roads of Shaanxi.  Of course, the generals of the Western Army do not have any intention of separatist rule, but in order to protect the interests of the group, apart from rebellion, they will indeed use any means.  Although it is basically certain that most of the main force of the Western Army has returned to Shaanxi, they also know that if something happens in the north, the imperial court will still want to pull the Western Army out.  When I return to Shaanxi this time, I won't be able to regain this vitality in five or seven years. You must know that when the army left the army, there were more than 150,000 athletes in the Western Army, but only half of them could return home!  The morale of the army has dropped to the extreme. No matter how easy it is to pull it out, it will not even be able to maintain the level of combat power when it conquered Yan. And the newly rising Jurchen Tatars in the north are said to be far more powerful than the Liao people!  The princes in the court had their own selfish plans, so the Huanqing Army and the Shenwu Changsheng Army were placed in inappropriate positions.  Let the disorganized Huanqing Army assume the heavy responsibility of defending Yandi and even Hebei.  Even though Wang Zhen, Ma Kuo and others were good generals, the Hebei military town established by the Huanqing Army of only six to seven thousand people for Gu Qian was extremely weak for a long time.  If the Huanqing Army collapses, the Western Army will have to come to rescue it. The Western Army wants to stay in Shaanxi as long as possible to avoid the troubled waters in the north.  The key point is to enhance Xiao Yan's strength so that Xiao Yan and the Shenwu Victory Army can be enough to protect the north of the imperial court.  Let the Western Army no longer move out of Shaanxi.  Moreover, Xiao Yan's existence also relieved a lot of pressure on the Western Army.  The more stable Xiao Yan's position is at the front, the more stable the Western Army's life will be if they hide behind him.  "Lao Zhong fell ill. He is old and might not be able to survive this time.  Without the old man, the Western Army needs more buffer time.  Lao Zhong was ill and was planning for the future of the Western Army, so he sent Yang Keshi to discuss with Xiao Yan secretly.  In fact, there are not many things to discuss, that is, if Xiao Yan and the Shenwu Changsheng Army want to establish a firm foothold, they need any support from the Western Army. Except for those who are rebellious, the Western Army will give them whatever support they need!  The imperial court was carefully planning to guard against these Song Dynasty's capable troops, those military ministers who could lead the army in battle, and those who had won the military's morale like Xiao Yan.  And how come these soldiers, these military ministers, and even Xiao Yan can't come up with means to deal with this court?  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~ At Xiao Yan¡¯s question, Yang Keshi already understood that although he came suddenly, the Xiao Yan and Xiao Xianmo in front of him, who seemed to have a calmer demeanor and sharper eyes, had already figured out the purpose of his visit.  Be clear!  At that moment, Yang Keshi could only give a wry smile, open his heart, and say whatever he had to say, no longer hiding it: "Old Mr. Zhong's illness is very dangerous this time, first of allIn the past, I could barely support myself, but now I am having a hard time seeing things This expedition of the Western Army lasted for three years. The old Prime Minister tried his best to support everything from top to bottom of the Western Army, but he has almost run out of gas This time  Coming here is all because of my love for you.  I just repeated what Mr. Zhong said to Xiao Xianmo "When Mr. Zhong mentioned it, he never expected that Xianmo would actually use financial management methods to get ahead of the officials, and he had already established himself in Bianliang. In the future,  However, Xian Mo's methods are limitless. It is precisely because of Xian Mo that the changes in Shenwu Changsheng's victory in Hedong and the Huanqing army's control of Yandi in Hebei took place, and the Western Army was finally able to return to control Shenwu Chang.  The victorious army is stationed in Hedong, and Han and Yue are loyal and brave, and they show their support in the court. If there is a war on the Hedong flank in the future, there should be no worries about the Huanqing army going out to control Yandi in Hebei!  The remaining soldiers of the Qing army only numbered six to seven thousand, and they were defeated again. With this as the backbone, in the next few years, even if Wang Zhenma Kuo had the means, it would be difficult to support the defense of such a critical place.  If you don't go south within the year, if you go south, the Jurchen cavalry in Yan's land in Hebei will almost be able to rush past! At that time, the imperial court will definitely mobilize the Western Army to send troops again. With the current situation of the Western Army, it will be difficult to recover within five years!  """ Once transferred out, I am afraid it will only end in defeat. In the next few years, we can only count on Xiao Xianmo and the Shenwu Changsheng Army as the mainstay to support them for a while. If they can survive to the west.  The strength of the army has been restored, and when the time comes, there is still a chance for a decisive victory against the Jurchen cavalry and the various roads in Hebei. As long as they rise quickly and die suddenly, the Song Dynasty will have no worries within a hundred years.  !" Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel secretly excited when he heard Yang Keshi relaying Lao Zhong's words.  Although Yang Keshi spoke these words fluently, it was obvious that Yu Tu had recited them secretly many times.  I'm afraid it's still hard to understand the deep meaning of Lao Zhong.  From the perspective of Yang Keshi and other Western Army generals, Lao Zhong¡¯s focus is on preserving the Western Army and trying to give the Western Army more time to recover.  Xiao Yan had a deep conversation with Lao Zhong when he left Yandi.  I know that this old commander, with his days running out, has already thought about issues outside the circle of the Western Army group. He is really thinking about how to eliminate the danger of the Jurchens going south in the future! ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the gate, the Jurchens are ferocious, while the Song Dynasty is riddled with holes and vulnerable to a single blow.  Among all the dynasties, there were only a few.  The old man is the first among them.  When the Huanqing Army left Yandi in Hebei and the Shenwu Evervictorious Army left Hedong, the situation could no longer be changed. What he hoped was that Xiao Yan and the Shenwu Evervictorious Army could sustain the situation for a few more years until the Western Army recovered its strength.  There is still a chance to win a decisive battle with the Jurchens, and then the situation can be turned back!  What the generals of the Western Army heard from these words was that the generals would return to Shaanxi to recuperate their vitality, while what Xiao Yan heard from these words was that they would gather the warworthy armies of the Song Dynasty in the future for a decisive battle with the Jurchens!  I am afraid that the only one who can understand Laozhong's thoughts at this time is Xiao Yan.  The generals of the Western Army may have regarded the last few sentences of Lao Zhong's words as mere remarks, even Lao Zhong's younger brother Zhong Shizhong.  But there is no need for Xiao Yan to say these words.  He just listened silently, and then gave a wry smile: "It seems to be a foregone conclusion that Shenwu's ever-victorious army will leave the town in the east of Hedong. The imperial court is also deeply jealous of Xiao's influence in the Shenwu's ever-victorious army. With Xiao, with Shenwu Chang  How can the victorious army be sustained for a few more years, so that the Song Dynasty and the Western Army can have time to arrange things calmly? I am afraid that Xiao will be at a loss" To be honest, Shenwu Changsheng's army was transferred to Hedong.  Leaving the town was indeed a clever way to separate Xiao Yan from the Shenwu Changsheng Army.  Xiao Yan also feels that it is still uncertain whether he will be able to maintain his overwhelming influence on the Shenwu Changsheng Army in the future.  I have repeatedly thought about what method to use, but I am not particularly sure.  The loyalty of subordinates does not come unconditionally and needs to be managed all the time. My family is far away in Bianliang and has to deal with so many opponents. What means can I use to firmly control the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army? Now it is Xiao.  Talk about the things that worry you.  These words came out with a bitter look on his face, but they were probably true.  Yang Keshi glanced at Xiao Yan and his expression became serious. He silently recited what Lao Zhong said several times in his heart and felt heavy in his heart.  These words are really not what the minister said.  Lao Zhong has been a very cautious person in his life. How could he come up with such a plan when his days are numbered?  Is it really just to protect the Western Army that we can use all means at all costs?  But Yang Keshi¡¯s loyalty to Lao Zhong is indeed beyond words.  As long as Lao Zhong doesn't lead him to rebel, Yang Keshi will not go against Lao Zhong's wishes and will only obey his orders.  And now it seems that this is the only way to protect the Western Army and allow the Western Army to delay its recovery. Yang Keshi is in the Western Army, and his colleagues and subordinates are all rooted here. To protect the Western Army is to protect all their interests.  He really couldn't do it if he was asked to give up the interests of preserving the intricate group of Western Army generals!  He inhaled deeplyHe took a deep breath, his voice was already low and deep, and he finally said the dangerous plan set by Lao Zhong: "When the army is out, only by being tempered by the special wars from time to time, the kindness will be much simpler. Don't think too much.  Loyalty to Xian Mo can be maintained If the war that this army has experienced is controlled by Xian Mo, how can the Shenwu Victory Army escape Xian Mo's control?  The war was going on in the east of Hedong. To be honest, when the Song Dynasty returned, the imperial court hoped that the Shenwu Ever-victorious Army would be weakened day by day, and if Xianmo could maintain a steady stream of Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army, it would be like our story about the Western Army.  With the support of Xian Mo, how can the ever-victorious army of Shenwu not always be used by Xian Mo?  The more war you go through, the sharper it becomes.  The more the Shenwu Evervictorious Army is like this, the more the court's attention will be placed on Xian Mo and the Shenwu Evervictorious Army.  Our Western Army will have enough time to recuperate and prepare for the future This is the best of both worlds!  " Xiao Yan's voice also became low and deep, and he asked softly: "What kind of war can it be that I can always control it?  " Yang Keshi's eyes flickered at this moment, as if he was ready to get up and leave at any time and never talk about this topic again. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Liao Tianzuo was in Yingzhou last month.  The army was defeated and captured, and the weapons were sent to Huanglong.  The remnants of the Liao people are scattered in the states in Yunnei. Once there are enough people with enough reputation to surrender and accept rebellion, they can fight with the Jurchen army and horses north of the old Great Wall in Hedong.  When Shenwu's ever-victorious army left Hedong, they could gradually leave the Old Great Wall and fight with the Jurchens in the name of the remaining Liao people.  The remaining tribes of the Liao people can strengthen the power of Shenwu's ever-victorious army, and the tribes in the Yunnei states can be recruited as wings for Shenwu's ever-victorious army. Good horses and powerful soldiers can be found everywhere.  Relying on Hedong, it is enough to attract the attention of the female protagonist This is the meaning of this war.  " Xiao Yan suddenly stood up and raised his forehead with his hands, but his face was livid at the same time. He really underestimated the people in the world, and this old man actually came up with such an idea! From the east of the river to the north, beyond the old Great Wall are the Yunnan states.  It was the place where the remnants of the Liao Empire resisted the Jurchens. There were many and mixed tribes in the Yunnan states, either for the Liao or dependent on the Jurchens. Yelu Yanxi's army was defeated by the Liao and the remaining Liao people.  The tribes may not surrender completely. As long as there is a person with enough reputation, they can still fight with the Liao people here!  The war can sharpen the Shenwu Evervictorious Army, and secondly, it can recruit rebels and strengthen the Shenwu Evervictorious Army. This war is destined to be chaotic and small-scale constant fighting, and in the name of the remaining Liao people,  The emperor is far away, and he is very polite to the court. The most likely reaction of the court is to ignore it, give no support to the Shenwu Ever Victory Army, and wait for this army to be weakened to the point where the court can control it at will.  With so much wealth and several bases such as Tanzhou Dongchuanwa, he is the only one who can continuously support the Shenwu Evervictorious Army. The most poisonous thing is not this.  The poisonous point is that the person with enough reputation is going to recruit the traitor! Xiao Yan has the person with enough reputation who was also involved in this trend. In the end, Guo pharmacist Zhao Liangsi and Liao native Xiao Puxian died.  The queen is the end. This person is the direct descendant of Yelu Yanxi, the little mute Yelu Yuliyan! As a little mute, he went out to the Yunnei states to recruit the remaining Lanlian people into exile. The Shenwu Changsheng Army thought that it would cooperate with this war.  It has always been under Xiao Yan's control, and with the constant support for the Shenwu Evervictorious Army, how can the Shenwu Evervictorious Army escape Xiao Yan's control?  They are willing to accept it. The leading generals have experienced battles with the Jurchens. It is because of their resentment that they want to fight a small-scale war with the Jurchens.  Strength, as long as Xiao Yan is firmly established in the court, there will always be room for reimbursement of military achievements. The new and powerful army is about to fight for its position in the Song Dynasty. For the Western Army, this war is what they like.  The stronger the Changsheng Army is, the more firmly the imperial court will focus on Xiao Yan. With such a presence, the Western Army will be less suppressed and divided by the stronger Shenwu Changsheng Army.  If the Jurchens' attention is drawn to Hedong, the weaker Huanqing army in Hebei will be less pressured, and the situation will be easier to maintain, and the Western army will be able to stay more securely on the roads of Shaanxi without having to send troops east and west for the imperial court.  In the end, he collapsed. The older he got, the deeper he became. At this moment, he has become more sophisticated. Well, this strategy is so comprehensive that one can only marvel at it.  It goes without saying that this strategy is of great benefit to Xiao Yan, and it is also of great benefit to the Western Army.  Even for the Northern Song DynastyThe stability of the defense line also helps a lot.  The only thing that hurt seemed to be the imperial court's control over the Western Army's Shenwu Changsheng Army.  But if the imperial court and the officials and princes of the Song Dynasty truly cherish the only combat power of the Song Dynasty, take proper care of it, care for it carefully, and use it seriously.  Instead of blindly guarding against suppressing divisions, and even treating the northern defense line, which was related to the fate of the Song Dynasty, as nothing, how could the old man come up with such a clever strategy?  This clever plan immediately touched Xiao Yan's heart.  But he was still livid, not for any other reason.  It¡¯s for the little mute Yelu Yuliyan!  The old man decided to hit this lonely little mute, and he wanted to throw this orphan girl into the center of the storm!  How could Xiao Yan accept this for a while, and how could he be willing to accept it?  Xiao Yan also understands Lao Zhong's lonely heart and hard work, and Lao Zhong is also fully aware of Xiao Yan's care and concern for the little mute.  However, he still came up with this strategy while he was ill entirely because Lao Zhong no longer had confidence in the imperial leadership to fight the Jurchens to the death in the future. They were the only ones to figure out a way to maintain the lifeline of the Song Dynasty.  While holding back the Jurchens from marching south, they would expand the strength of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army and give the Western Army enough time to recuperate. There would still be a glimmer of hope for a decisive battle in the future.  During the Song Dynasty, Lao Zhong had done his best for the Song Dynasty and had done his best for the Song Dynasty until the last moment.  Yang Keshi saw Xiao Yan's livid face and also remained silent.  As a descendant of a general in the Song Dynasty, he came up with such an idea behind the back of the imperial court.  One can imagine the panic in his heart.  If it weren't for the protection of the Western Army, if it wasn't for the entrustment of Lao Zhong, who was about to die of illness, he would never have come here to deliver these words.  At this moment, what Yang Keshi expected most was that Xiao Yan would repel him and refused to accept this strategy.  As for the future of the Western Army, we just have to leave it to fate, that is, we will pull out the broken Western Army and fight the Jurchens in bloody battles. Death in battle is nothing more than a trivial matter. There is no need to suffer such torture here!  But Xiao Yan was there, saying nothing for a long time.  ¡°I don¡¯t have a better strategy than Lao Zhong, and all aspects have been taken care of.  The interests of the Western Army, the interests of the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army, the interests of Xiao Yan, and even the long-term interests of the Song Dynasty court.  The price paid is nothing more than letting the little mute take risks.  Reason told Xiao Yan that he should accept all this, but he couldn't stop it.  .  ¡°Didn¡¯t the little mute endure enough hardships?  When I came to this era, I already had a lot of feelings for women.  The only thing that comforted my conscience was the care and concern for the little mute. I would risk everything for the safety of the little mute.  In fact, deep down, it is also an empathy function.  When I came to this era, I no longer knew how many people had been sacrificed because of my ambition.  I don¡¯t know how many things I have done that are stained with blood on my hands.  Everyone in Yandi has already died a mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood because of him.  Protecting and caring for the little mute seems to be protecting the last human-like part of oneself.  To make this decision, you have to let go of the last bit of warmth deep in your heart.  From then on, he walked on the road of coldness and perseverance without any hesitation, and he was willing to sacrifice anyone for the final goal!  My goal is to protect this civilization and protect everyone in the Song Dynasty in this era For this goal, can I sacrifice all the people who deserve to be sacrificed without any scruples?  ¡­¡­¡­Why do I have to be so pretentious?  When he sacrificed the people of Yan land and caused great chaos, he was already on this path. Why would he talk about turning back now?  Men¡¯s careers¡­ Men¡¯s careers.  The career of men in this era is nothing more than bloody.  Xiao Yan's face gradually turned pale, and finally it seemed a little transparent.  He turned around and nodded slightly towards Yang Keshi, who was also silent: "In this place of right and wrong, the Taiwei cannot stay for a long time. The old man's intention is clear. But if you make a decision, you will definitely know it as soon as possible.  Mr. Lao Zhong and Brother Yang, I will arrange for someone to escort the Taiwei back. Our two families must maintain contact at all times "That's it. It's really too slow to wait for the Taiwei." Yang Keshi doesn't want to delay here any longer.  He stood up and clasped his fists and saluted: "In that case, please Xian Mo to arrange it. Since I returned to the army, there is no need to treat me lightly. We are just waiting for Xian Mo's decision." Xiao Yan hurriedly returned the salute without looking back.  After walking out of the room, I felt unsteady at the door and stumbled.  Yang Keshi also had a blank expression on his face, trying his best to suppress the ups and downs of his heart.  Mr. Laozhong, why are you acting like this?  Is this kind of judgment right or wrong?  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~ There was a cacophony of footsteps, and several raccoon hats were guarding Xiao Yan as they entered the courtyard of the other courtyard.  I have been waiting at the door for a long time.  I lived in Bianliang during these days.?The unlucky Facebook student from Dong Chuan Wa has gained weight now, and his expression is very different from before.  Xiao Yan's ability to turn his hands into clouds and rain in Bianliang made Zuo Liaoji, a rather conceited scholar from the North, amazed and had to secretly admire him.  Once admired, the desire to sincerely serve will arise secretly.  Xiao Yan is also trustworthy in employing people. The amount of financial affairs he now controls is astonishing.  The full power of collection, expenditure, enumeration and calculation was given to Zuo Liaoji.  Zuo Liao had been melancholy for half his life, but once he was put in such an important position, he showed considerable abilities.  The financial affairs under Xiao Yan's charge are large in number, numerous in projects, and the relationships among them are quite complex.  In a single football market, it is due to the official family, each family's dividends, Xiao Yan's income, plus the bond discounts issued by the guarantee of these incomes, how to offset the interest, what are the explicit and implicit deductions in the middle, and what are the hidden deductions in the middle?  It¡¯s a mess that no one can sort through.  Zuo Liaoji has accumulated thousands of dollars, and his cooking score is not satisfactory.  Knowing that Xiao Yan had such a talented person under his command, they all marveled at how Xiao Yan discovered such a talent.  At this time, Zuo Liaoji had a smile on his face. He greeted Xiao Yan as he came in and bowed: "Brother Xianmo has paid the details of the two accounts of Dongchuanwa in Tanzhou for the past six months. There is no big mistake. Post it, Song Shigui.  The total profit from hand-making is 67,897 yuan. Part of it is cash and part is discounted grain. Please tell me whether the profit is sent here or how it is disposed of. " Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged.  He was as calm as ever, but there was a hint of depression between his brows. Most people couldn't tell this change at all.  Zuo Liaoji's mind was so full of financial planning that he didn't notice it at all.  Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said: "There is no need to send them all, most of them will stay in Dongchuanwa for business purposes. Just let them pay 5,000 guan to Bianliang, and they will be completely self-reliant, which is a sign of laziness and arrogance."  It's not the right thing to do to satisfy your subordinates Just tell Wang Gui like this." Zuo Liao responded. To be honest, Xiao Yan didn't take the tens of thousands of dollars in profit at all.  The wave of debt issuance started by Imperial Concubine Yisu has become one of the hottest topics in Bianliang these days.  How many people were holding large sums of money to send to him.  Before Wang Gui and Yang Keshi came, he had accompanied several wealthy Bianliang family owners there to play golf and discuss business.  Why bother to make a golf ball? Firstly, I feel that doing business in this way is high-end and elegant. Secondly, it is also because I have decided to take the path of a happy minister. If I don¡¯t come up with something new, how can I attract the attention of the official?  It's a pleasure for families to travel, and for monarchs and ministers to come to the eighteen caves without interruption, this is the ultimate way for time-travelers to become their favorites
