    In the hotel, the ambassador's lips trembled, and drops of oil and sweat fell down his fat face.  For a while, there was only a hoarse sound coming from the throat, and no words could come out.  Fang Teng stood at the door with a smile, and several personal guards flashed behind him. He pressed his sword and went straight in. The armor leaves clanged in the house that was still filled with the fragrance of wine and powder. Every sound made the ambassador  The fat face twitched.  The two singing girls had already huddled together in fear, and sat on the ground hugging each other, shivering.  But he bit his lip desperately, not daring to make a sound.  But as a prostitute, she often sees a lot more of the world than other people.  Knowing that at this time, I cannot feel dizzy and seek death!  These military men, even they, can be seen crawling out of the dead. Killing a few people is not as good as killing a chicken?  I just want to be greedy for those few rewards and come to this damn hotel!  Several soldiers stood in various places in the room with great anger, and some blocked the door.  The postmaster also diligently closed the door.  The two singing girls just thought that some bloody scene was going to happen.  I was so scared that I almost peed.  Unexpectedly, Fang Teng flipped up his clothes and sat down in front of the ambassador's table. He asked with a smile: "When guests come at night, tea is also wine. The ambassador has a fine wine, why don't you give it to me?" Okay, Fang Teng  Teng sometimes likes to be a bit pretentious.  The ambassador subconsciously shook his hands and poured wine for Fang Teng, but it spilled all over the table.  Fang Teng didn't mind, held the cup to the owner, and then drank it all in one gulp.  The ambassador subconsciously followed suit and drank the wine. He seemed to have come to his senses a little after taking the wine. He asked in a trembling voice, "Commander Xuan, what are you going to do?" Fang Teng smiled and said, "Let me borrow this for your ambassador's fleet. I think these must be  The big ship on the Yellow River was supposed to be heading west to pick up the Kansai people, but the student had to go the other way." After hearing Fang Teng's words, the ambassador knew that he had been holding his tongue tight all the way.  The tragedy of the family's next mission seems to be no secret in front of the fair-faced and elegant Fang Xuanshuai!  Then he started to tremble a little, since all the Dukes¡¯ calculations were based on the information of King Yan¡¯s family.  Now that they are taking action again, Bianliang must be in trouble.  Right before your eyes.  This time it is no longer the palace in Bianliang City that has changed, but several powerful towns have been implicated.  Several forces are competing from Kansai to Kinki to Hebei!  Thinking of such a big situation, the ambassador felt that he had nothing to do.  How many dignitaries do not know what will happen to them in this trend, let alone a man like himself?  Thinking about it this way, the ambassador became calmer.  He smiled bitterly and said: "The boat is heading east. How come the princes in Xijing on the south bank can't find it? I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the plans of King Yan and Fang Xuanshuai. Otherwise, we can leave our boat at Xiwodu and be watched by others.  That¡¯s right. I don¡¯t dare to ask or think about Fang Xuanhuai¡¯s whereabouts. He just wants to wait for the dust to finally settle.¡± He really doesn¡¯t want to be involved in this violent whirlpool.  There was still a word left unsaid.  You can take the boat away if you want, or just leave me here at Xiwo Crossing!  Fang Teng smiled lightly, but he didn't expect that this ambassador, despite his appearance as a common official, was actually very clear-headed.  You can actually bargain at this time.  There are many talents in the industry, and I will not deceive you if you are honest.  "Don't dare to ask the ambassador what his name is? What's the name?" It was just a matter of official title, and Fang Teng was concerned about the upcoming action.  The ambassador did not dare to come forward and report his resume.  I still don't know his name.  The ambassador wiped the oily sweat on his face and said in fear: "Don't dare to take the position, don't take it. I will go down to the official position and have a single name. The bad character Yanwu will disturb Commander Xuan's hearing." Fang Teng laughed and said: "Siwo  When crossing north, the news came to Xijing that the army was far away, and the fleet sailed with good wind and water, and arrived at the bend of the river in less than two days.  ! There will be no trace of the boat on the south bank tomorrow. Brother Yanwu has already been ordered to sail up to Pujin to meet the Kansai people. The princes of Xijing spent the whole day leisurely, and when they realized something was wrong, a big event on this road was decided.  ! If we postpone it for a few days, the Bianliang incident will come to an end. Why should I be afraid of leaks?" Fang Teng looked at Chang Xiu intently, playing with the cup, and said calmly: "Brother Yanwu restrained Zhou Chuan, and the command was appropriate.  The boatmen, rivers and troops all obeyed the orders, and they must be old officials who were deeply involved in shipping. There were many generals under his command, but there were few talents like Brother Yanwu, so I had to take the opportunity to visit Brother Yanwu at night.  I¡¯m sure you won¡¯t let Fang¡¯s experience go to waste.¡± Apart from smiling bitterly, what else could Chang Xiu do at this time?  Do you still dare to disobey your orders?  Thinking of the princes of Xijing, they only sent me, a humble official, to handle such a big event.  However, the important ministers under the command of the King of Yan were restrained from returning to the army. They came and went like the wind, and they were still running around all night long.  The superiority of the two sides has already appeared.  "And such an army and horses can control the boats, and they can advance and retreat freely along the Yellow River.What great things can be done!  I'm afraid that in just a few days, the situation in Bianliang Dynasty will change drastically again!  For the bureaucracy of the Song Dynasty in this era, it was already on the verge of collapse.  Even if the central government can make correct decisions, when it comes to implementation at the local level, it always follows the rules.  This is also the case when it comes to Xijing.  Not to mention that the center of the imperial court often made all kinds of speechless decisions! ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Such a ruling system, when it encounters an opponent which is more efficient, more powerful, and more capable of action and execution, is so surprised that it is beaten to collapse, is it any wonder?  ??In the final analysis, it is just the end of the dynasty.  In the time and space without Xiao Yan, it was not until Zhao Jiucang's imperial journey south that the disorganized, chaotic and contradictory military and political system of the Song Dynasty was reformed, coupled with the combined effects of various reasons.  The Southern Song Dynasty was lucky enough to continue.  At this moment, there were heavy footsteps outside the door again, and then the short Chinese Army Commander Tang Siye pushed the door open and bowed deeply to Fang Teng.  When he opened his mouth, his voice was so loud that it made the objects in the room buzz.  "Reporting to Commander-in-Chief Xuan, all 271 large river ships are under control near the pier. After checking the boatmen and river troops, no one escaped, and no one resisted. The army is now turning around one after another, and sentries are being posted in all directions.  Check the warning and board the ship secretly at night. What's the next step? "Fang Teng nodded: "Thank you, General Tang. We must get on the ship as soon as possible before the third watch!"  During the process, some people looked and asked, and they were all bundled on board!" Tang Siye nodded and accepted the order. After bowing, he turned around and strode off again.  It's clear and concise, no nonsense.  Fang Teng¡¯s eyes turned to Chang Xiu again. What else could Chang Xiu say at this time?  Although Fang Xuanshuai has a bright appearance and a gentle demeanor.  How can a person who might do such a great thing be afraid of killing someone?  I just ate Yellow River carp tonight.  I don¡¯t want to turn it upside down and become the food in the fish¡¯s mouth.  At that moment, he could only stand up tremblingly: "How dare you disobey the commander-in-chief's order!" Fang Teng smiled and waved his hand, and his own bodyguards took Chang Xiu away. With him assisting in the command, the speed of loading the ship again will be much faster.  .  Moreover, the boatmen and river soldiers will feel much more at ease when they see Chang Xiu coming forward.  I have already started taking action here, luckily everything went smoothly.  By the time Xijing realizes something is wrong, it will be too late.  Returning to Bianliang would be delayed for several days.  The drama that King Yan once again instigated has begun.  Just don¡¯t know.  What will be the result?  There will be no shortage of blood in it.  But this is the Song Dynasty.  It really needs a deep shake!  Fang Teng put down his cup, stood up and walked out.  When he was about to go out, he seemed to have thought of nothing. He looked back at the two pale girls and said gently: "Please ask the two ladies to get on the boat for a while. For every day of delay, I will give them five pieces."  It's over, then send them back to their hometown." After giving the instructions, Fang Teng smiled slightly at the two girls, and then hurried away surrounded by his bodyguards.  The two girls listened to Fang Teng's instructions with their ears pricked up, and then they could breathe a sigh of relief.  Their lives are worth less than an ant in the hands of these big shots.  Now it seems that he can survive for the time being!  I don¡¯t dare to think about losing five points in one day, I just want to be able to go home in peace when the time comes!  Only the girl who was younger and more beautiful felt her heart beat wildly because of Fang Teng's smile.  This young nobleman is a handsome and handsome husband!  Not to mention being so knowledgeable, gentle and considerate.  But I don¡¯t know if I should serve him all the way on the boat?  If I could serve as a concubine for this good husband, my life would not have been in vain!  It was April 20th, the seventh year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty.  Early in the morning, when the young military attach¨¦ of the River Army of the Xiwo Nandu Inspection Department and several of his men had gathered for gambling all night, they yawned and stood on the river embankment to urinate.  The misty river fog dispersed.  I only found the north crossing on the other side, and could vaguely see that the pier was empty.  Yesterday's mighty boats have disappeared.  The young military attach¨¦ stretched his body and cursed: "Straight bitch, Fatty Chang is actually very diligent. He led the fleet and he didn't know where he was going. With so many ships passing by, even if they are entrained, they can be severely punished.  Let¡¯s make a fortune. I¡¯ll wait for him to come back and get some luck from him!¡± ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Four or five days before Fang Teng crossed the river, the Yongning Army had already sent out from Zhending Mansion.  When Fang Teng robbed the ship, he was already two hundred miles southeast of Zhending Mansion.  This time the whole army came out, and the Yongning Army also brought out six to seven thousand troops.  There were mostly infantry and no more than a thousand cavalry.  There are still one or two thousand troops, but they are either tired or dragging their feet in making preparations for departure because they just don't want to go back to Bianliang.  Even if I go back to Bianliang to strive for merit,Aren't you going to have to fight with the tigers and wolves under King Yan?  Not to mention that there were many officers and soldiers secretly yearning for King Yan, thinking that if it weren't for him, how could the Yongning Army win over the local civil servants who were arrogant at first and respectful at the back?  With King Yan here, the military ministers can live a good life.  Why do you want to go back to Bianliang to overthrow King Yan?  If you can't help it, you can only passively slow down your work.  "These people can't pull out the horse, and Wang Zhen and Yu Wenxuzhong can't wait any longer."  It started two days ago.  Six to seven thousand troops, plus 2,000 soldiers and several chariots and horses that Zhending County tried its best to scrape together.  The mighty one is heading towards Bianliang.  The journey from Zhending to Kaifeng is more than 900 miles.  There are plains all the way, which is convenient for the movement of the army. If you move quickly, you can reach Kaifeng in only half a month.  It would be faster to go south to Liyangjin Ferry in Weizhou on the bank of the Yellow River and get on the boat to Bianliang.  Originally, Wang Zhen had sent people to Liyangjin in advance to seize the ships and sail upstream of the Yellow River. Unexpectedly, all the ships on the Yellow River had gathered in the upstream direction earlier.  It goes without saying that he was going to support the Western Army.  The princes in the court.  I still value the Western Army with strong soldiers and horses.  The Yongning army could only use small boats to cross the Yellow River in batches.  Still traveling by land.  Turn east and go straight to Bianliang.  Such differential treatment made the morale of the Yongning army even lower.  The march could not be said to be fast. In the past three days, despite Wang Zhen's efforts to urge them, they could only cover a distance of 120 to 30 miles.  This made Wang Zhen quite anxious.  On the other hand, the two assistants beside him, Yu Wenxuzhong and Ma Kuo, made Wang Zhen even more frustrated.  Needless to say, Ma Kuo has a good relationship with Xiao Yan.  They also lived and died together.  This time I went to Bianliang to decide the outcome with Xiao Yan.  Once he succeeds, Xiao Yan will definitely die and his family will be destroyed.  It is natural that Mr. Ma Kuo is a little dazed and taciturn.  If Ma Kuo was not like this, Wang Zhen would think that his deputy was a little cold.  But Yu Wenxuzhong didn't look very anxious. It seemed that that was the case for the Yongning Army rushing to Bianliang.  Not necessarily that concerned.  This time, the Yongning army moved south and then turned eastward, but it was to grab chestnuts from the fire for these turbaned men.  The rightful owner is not in a hurry, but he is using all his strength here. Why bother?  In the end, Wang Zhen also looked away.  Anyway, the princes in the court valued the Western Army even more, so let the Western Army get the credit.  As long as you fulfill your duty as a general in the imperial court.  That's enough.  The official road from Bianliang to the various roads in Hebei is also wide and flat.  In the early Song Dynasty, great efforts were made to renovate it, just to facilitate the projection of troops to the Liao people.  However, as resources have been tilted towards Kansai for decades, the originally broad and flat official roads of Hebei have become somewhat dilapidated.  The deep ruts left by the oar-turning, carts and horses in early spring have not been repaired.  The cart accompanying the army will break down along the way.  A large group of infantry and cavalry mixed together, filling the sky with smoke and dust, and stopped and went.  The queues are mixed with each other.  The roads in Hebei are densely populated, and the roads are all through reclaimed fields and dotted with villages and towns.  When passing by, there are always sergeants and even generals leaving their troops to buy pulp and food.  Although Wang Zhen has always strictly enforced military discipline, and the Yongning army did not dare to disturb the people, this would inevitably hinder the schedule.  Anyway, in the army, Ma Kuo was in a daze and ignored him, Yu Wenxuzhong never urged him, and Wang Zhen also looked away.  As long as the army is moving southward, there is nothing to say.  On the contrary, Yongning Army felt that this march was quite fast and easy.  Although he didn't have much desire to go to Bianliang and Xiao Yan to decide the outcome, there was a lot of laughter during the march, and the morale was not low at all.  Wang Xun was rigorous in running the army and brought out a victorious army that could win in field battles.  Since becoming a general, has there ever been such a chaotic march?  However, Wang Zhen was worried about gains and losses in his heart, so he just let him go.  Among the large army, three people rode on horseback.  The Bianliang Dynasty is so entangled, what are the dangers of the big move in the future? If Xiao Yan is gone, how will the Dynasty evolve in the future.  Or even the surrounding Hebei spring scene is flourishing.  There were many topics that could be discussed on horseback, but the three of them remained silent among themselves and just followed the army.  There was an inexplicable feeling of depression that only pervaded the three of them.  The three of them are all outstanding figures of this era. Wang Zhongzhong is a powerful general and good at leading troops.  Ma Kuo knows the inside story of the Northland well and can also win on the battlefield.  Yu Wenxuzhong is very alert and resourceful.  How can we not see the decay and decay of the Song Dynasty today?  In particular, the Yongning Army was stationed in Hebei, and the defenses on all roads in Hebei were completely empty. The barbarians were heavily armed in front of Yan, and they could go south whenever they wanted. The Song Dynasty had little ability to resist.  No matter how much he makes trouble in Bianliang, no matter how much he stirs up wind and rain, Xiao Yan threatens the emperor.  But he will always keep his foundation in Yunnei, east of Hedong, and firmly guard the way for another Jurchen army to go south!  At this point, the Dukes of Bianliang are far away from Xiao Yan!  Even if Xiao Yan prepares more efforts this time, he canXiao Yan eradicated it.  But can Da Song be able to take a breather?  Can we reorganize the country, firmly control the land of Yanyun, and face the future troubles of the rise of the Jurchens?  Here, none of the three people want to deceive themselves.  Sometimes I even feel that this Song Dynasty is afraid that nothing can be accomplished, and everything from the center to the local areas is just getting by.  On the contrary, it is not as good as Xiao Yan who is determined and promising and dares to initiate revolution.  At least when facing Hulu, he can win on the battlefield!  However, the sudden rise of Xiao Yan's power turned the situation of the Song Dynasty into chaos.  Originally, all the forces were focused on how to eradicate Xiao Yan.  And if Xiao Yan does not fall, he will inevitably have to fight endlessly with the original forces.  It has really come to a time when the armies of the Song Dynasty raise their own troops to fight against each other, separate states and counties, and raise flags to fight.  I'm afraid it's not as good as when Emperor Daojun was on the throne, at least he could work together to deal with the Song Dynasty!  No matter what the outcome is, the Bianliang Center should be stabilized as soon as possible!  The longer the current situation continues, the deeper the damage will be to the Song Dynasty!  It is inevitable that the story of Yelu Abaoji of the later Han Dynasty taking over the Central Plains will be replayed!  Perhaps for this reason, Yu Wenxuzhong followed Cai Jing and Li Gang's order to attack the Yongning Army.  And Wang Zhen finally made the decision to support his army in Bianliang.  Ma Kuo also silently had no strong objections.  In the political situation, there is never the best choice.  Many times, we can only be driven by the changing situation and move forward involuntarily.  As the First Army was advancing like this, it was already getting late.  A forward station has been set up forward, and the men and horses preparing to camp have been dispatched.  Wang Zhen looked around and was about to send out the four flags around him to collect the chaotic marching troops.  Seeing that the rear ranks suddenly became more commotion at this time, Wang Cun screamed: "What's going on? Are you really too indulgent and don't know how to control it? Go, whoever is commanding is making a commotion. The sergeant pressed the forty staff on the spot and commanded  The envoy was sent to see XX, and XX personally dealt with it!" The four-chamber flag officer accepted the order and hurried away on horseback with several personal guards, and turned back after a while.  Already carrying an urgent envoy with a red flag on his back, both men and horses were covered in sweat and exhausted.  This urgent envoy was sent from the Zhending camp, wearing the Yongning military uniform color and the same etiquette system.  Seeing the urgent delivery arriving, Wang Zhen and others' expressions changed.  What happened in Zhending Mansion?  Could it be that the Jurchen army and horses suddenly moved south?  In the midst of confusion, the courier was already being rushed to the king's horse. He rolled off his saddle and dismounted. He took off the red flaming triangular flag on his back with both hands and handed in the order.  Wang Zhen shouted and asked: "What is the urgent military situation?" The courier raised his head and hurriedly reported back: "Suddenly, a large army broke in from the edge of Hebei Province! The counties and counties in the edge of Hebei Province rushed to the Lu Division. The Lu Division sent us more  Urgent delivery, come and ask for the army to return!" After the king surrendered, everyone's expression changed.  At this time, where did the army break in from the edge of Hebei?  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
