    Below Loufan City, the battlefield where the two sides fought bloody battles more than ten days ago has completely changed.  ¦ç¡ê, ww¡ùwco¡Ðm The trench was originally filled with the corpses of the people who were driven to fill the city. After the people were buried, the trench was dug wide and deep, and the mist water was introduced, making the water ripple lightly.  The city wall that was originally in disrepair has been completely repaired.  A wall of sheep and horses was built under the city, and people carrying spears patrolled the wall from time to time.  On top of the city, the original high and low crenellations were all renovated to the same height, like a row of sharp teeth facing the sky.  Every fifty steps, a hanging door wrapped thickly in cowhide was hung on the horse-less city wall, with arrow holes on both sides.  It turns out that the enemy tower also had an additional layer, with many flags and flags on it. Flags were raised during the day, and lights were used at night to mobilize and command the garrison in the city.  The city defense has taken on a completely new look, and the biggest change is not just about the city defense.  There are two city gates in the north and south of the building. Outside each city gate, two small villages are set up to protect the city gate and serve as the starting point for counterattack.  And in the Lanshui River Valley road that passes through the mountains and leads directly to the west of Taiyuan via Loufan, there are at least six or seven huge trenches dug out.  Military strongholds were set up to protect every ravine, and strong bows and crossbows were densely distributed on the stronghold walls.  A defense system based on Loufan City has been roughly established to protect this strategic military road leading directly to Taiyuan.  The establishment of such a defense system in such a short period of time is almost a miracle in this era.  The refugees from Elan Prefecture who survived thousands of catastrophes, all the people in Loufan City, and the Taiyuan people who came in an endless stream all worked hard day and night to support such a huge project.  Compared with the previous recruitment by the government.  The people are constantly on the run.  Or they may work hard and only survive until the replacement deadline.  This time, the common people and the strong people showed their strength.  There is no need to supervise the work, no need to supervise, and I don¡¯t know how many people are so tired that they vomit blood and do not leave the construction site.  Just because they know how ferocious and cruel the Jurchens are, and what a tragic scene it would be to fall into the hands of a foreign race!  "The defense system built in such a short period of time naturally has many shortcomings. The rammed earth is not fully dry, various auxiliary defense facilities are insufficient, and the new wood that is felled cannot be selected, and it is uneven and crooked.  Many watchtowers swayed and creaked when the wind blew.  But the defenders in such a defense system.  But it is the real mainstay.  Although the more than 2,000 troops in Taiyuan's back camp experienced fierce battles and suffered heavy casualties, their energy and energy were at their highest due to the victory at Loufan.  Holding a stronghold is really a strong and unshakable force.  And the soldiers and people in Loufan City are strong, and they are no longer a ragtag group that can only rely on Li Yizhong's personal charm to fight for the city.  They have also experienced the baptism of blood and fire, and almost all of them have been absorbed by the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army as supplementary troops. Even if they are not enough in the field, as auxiliary troops who defend the stronghold, they are already steadfast warriors!  After a few more battles.  After being trained by the veterans of the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army, they will even be taken out to fight in the field in the future.  It may not be impossible!  And in Taiyuan Prefecture, reinforcements are also joining in an endless stream.  Han Shizhong's elite cavalry and Yue Fei's foot cavalry all came one after another.  Not only did they fill up all the military forts, but they also gradually assembled a quite powerful cavalry group.  Such a defense system, such elite soldiers and generals.  The front line in the building became entrenched within a dozen days.  When the Divine Guards army arrives, join the battlefield.  What attacked from Loufan was a powerful field army with at least 20,000 regular soldiers.  On the front line of Kugu Village, Han Shizhong still had at least 10,000 regular troops.  If the Western Army can cooperate to a certain extent, it will be enough to have a life-or-death battle with the Jurchen West Route Army!  Xiao Yan also left Taiyuan Mansion at this time, planning to inspect the front lines of Loufan first, and then go south to meet the Divine Guards in person.  It was of course a must-do for him to come to Taiyuan to take charge of the situation.  But the sooner he can regain control of the three auspicious treasures of the Zhao family, the sooner Xiao Yan can feel at ease.  Moreover, the planned battle with Zong Han relied on these three auspicious treasures in many ways!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dozens  The soldiers of the King of Yan all put on ordinary clothes and armor, and under the armor were old robes.  Standing on a hill surrounded by Xiao Yan.  There is a small village on the top of this hill, with a towering watchtower, and you can see the surrounding mountains and rivers for dozens of miles.  There is also a solid military stronghold at the foot of the mountain as a support, and a commanded infantry is stationed in the stronghold.  This place is almost at the front of the building.  Xiao Yan came here in person, and many people warned him not to do this.  But Xiao Yan smiled and still went his own way.  Xiao Yan also wore ordinary clothes and armor, did not show any signs of honor, and tried his best not to attract attention.  But dozens of riders appeared on the high ground, and everyone looked like a tall horse.  In such a formation, if there is an enemy on the opposite side, how can you not know that the person coming is definitely an important general in the army, coming to see the military situation? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Standing on a high place, the sky wind is strong, looking around, the mountains are?The river is as far as the eye can see.  The sentry team sent by Lou Fan appeared in and out of the road, pulling out streaks of smoke and dust, and red helmet tassels dancing in the smoke and dust.  Behind them, there are stretching deep ditches and high fortresses, numerous military forts, and thousands of civilians, still working in full swing.  Large groups of chariots and horses, like a thin line, kept coming from the east, adding a large amount of food, grass and baggage to the battlefield in Loufan.  In the west, Jurchen sentries can also be seen coming and going.  Their fighting spirit doesn't seem to be too high.  There were no sentinels sent eastward to suppress the Song army.  There was no active challenge.  Whenever the Song army approached too close, they would retreat a little.  The sentry cavalry dispatched by the Song Army were also elites from the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army and the Dragon Guard Army.  There is no reason not to allow others to explore too deeply to the west.  Once the lone army went deep, the Jurchen Tatars suddenly whistled and surrounded them. This was a gift to the Jurchen Tatars for nothing.  Both sides roughly maintained a warning curtain of cavalry power.  A buffer zone of about ten miles between the two armies.  They go about patrolling and guarding each other.  Occasionally you can hear each other swearing a few village dialects, or shooting an arrow or two at each other.  Compared with the previous bloody battle below Loufan City, it was extremely peaceful.  Xiao Yan looked at everything in front of him quietly.  The one closest behind him.  One is Zongze.  Now he is considered Xiao Yanmu's most effective assistant.  The other one is Wei Dagong. Li Zhong died in battle, and Li Yizhong died in battle. Du Ruhu was found from the pile of corpses with only one breath left. He will not be able to recover in three or two months.  Wei Dagong also suffered numerous injuries. Although they were not serious, he lost a lot of blood and was unable to get out of bed for several days.  Fortunately, Wei Dagong is young and strong.  After drinking so much decoction to replenish qi and blood, he was able to ride a horse after more than ten days.  His status also improved a step further. Xiao Yan combined the original Taiyuan back camp soldiers and horses, plus the original soldiers and civilians in Loufan City, and part of the Imperial Guard stationed in Hedong in Taiyuan City, to form the front wing of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army. Han Shizhong  The four cavalry commanders who were later transferred also made up for it.  Wei Dagong immediately dispatched him as the deputy commander of the front wing of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army!  Although the commander of the front chamber was given to Du Ruhu, now Du Ruhu cannot afford to be seriously injured. This newly established chamber of the Shenwu Everlasting Victory Army is now decided by Wei Dagong.  This time Xiao Yan went south on his westward tour.  Yue Fei never came.  Instead, he was training troops and horses in Taiyuan City, using the Dragon Guards he brought as the backbone.  Join the elite selected by the Forbidden Army stationed at Hedong Road in Taiyuan City and form a field group of four to five thousand regular troops.  At that time, Wei Dagong will have four to five thousand men, and the Dragon Guard Army will have four to five thousand men, plus the main force of the Divine Guard Army.  It was the heavily armed group that attacked from Loufan.  This army was naturally commanded by Yue Fei, and it also showed that Wei Dagong had finally made his mark, leaping from an ordinary cavalry commander to a mid-level and high-level general under Xiao Yan!  The path to success for Xiao Yan's young generals who dare to fight is indeed the broadest among the entire Song Dynasty army.  It's no wonder that the generals at all levels under Xiao Yan's command, who are not even old, are fighting hard to move forward in every battle.  Xiao Yan and Zongze had not said anything yet. Their faces were still a little pale, but Wei Dagong was very excited because he had been reused. He couldn't help but said: "Prince Yan, it seems that the Jurchen Tatars don't want to fight with us here."  ! Maybe they will turn around and head west! The Western Army will have to use its strength now. When the Jurchen Tatars and the Western Army fight, we will come out from behind and annihilate the entire Jurchen Tatar army.  As a vanguard, capture Zong Han and present him in front of King Yan's horse!" Zong Ze and the soldiers of King Yan beside him glanced at Wei Dagong and did not speak. They all felt that this young general who had made great achievements at Loufan City suddenly suddenly  After reusing it, I got a little carried away.  In the course of a battle, nothing could be said to be as easy and cheap as what he said.  The Western Army and Xiao Yan's troops were separated on two battlefields.  Even if the Western Army could honestly obey Xiao Yan's orders, it would be extremely difficult to cooperate.  Time, space, everything is a problem.  And if they fight out of Loufan, won't the Jurchen Tatars send troops to cover their retreat to the east?  Since Xiao Yan, everyone involved in planning this war has been cautious and cautious, walking on thin ice.  " Moreover, the edict to the Western Army can only be issued after receiving the imperial command.  It is not known how long the bargaining with the Western Army will go back and forth, and there are many variables during this process.  Although Xiao Yan was determined to fight, when the decisive battle would start and what the outcome would be, Zongze felt that it was quite confusing and unpredictable based on his ability to see things.  "However, although Wei Dagong's words were too loud, they were also quite discerning.  Zongze followed Xiao Yan to inspect the front lines and already noticed that the Jurchen troops and horses might not necessarily rush to the front line.  In the direction of Kuguzhai, a forceful attack is even more uneconomical than fighting in Loufan.  Han Shizhong's troops were already very capable. If the Jurchen Tatars wanted to defeat them, they would have to take a lot of lives. And even if they were defeated, what would happen?  Han Shizhong's troops have withdrawn one by one, unable to outflank the main force of the Shenwu Evervictorious Army, and they are still quite far away from Taiyuan Prefecture.  Even if Zonghan is a country village,??, it is not necessarily possible to choose the direction of Kuguzhai as the breakthrough point.  Since we can¡¯t go eastward, continuing southward is not a good option either.  Under the circumstances of being attacked from both sides, the front line will continue to be extended, and Yongshuai will not do anything about it.  The only thing you can do is to turn around and defeat the west side first!  After Wei Dagong finished speaking, he felt sonorous and powerful, and also showed his vision in war.  However, when he noticed that Zongze and the others were silent, Wei Dagong immediately became alert.  Are you too complacent and a little too pushy?  Suddenly Wei Dagong forced another smile: "The general is a rough man. He says whatever comes to his mind. It's all nonsense. The matter of strategizing is not something that people like the general can get involved in." He kept looking westward with concentration.  Xiao Yan finally turned his head at this time, glanced at Wei Dagong with a sharp look, and said calmly: "What you said makes sense, why are you talking nonsense? In the future, we may have to unite thousands of troops to take charge of one aspect.  Planning things is what you should do! Why are you looking down on yourself?" Wei Dagong's face turned red.  Not ashamed, but excited!  He had not had much contact with Xiao Yan before, and this time he had real personal contact with him.  Now I suddenly understand that King Yan¡¯s subordinates really do not value civility over military affairs!  Military ministers under the command of King Yan must really be valued, used, and distinguished!  As long as you have the ability!  Xiao Yan said something about Wei Dagong casually, and then turned back.  He looked steadily at the mountains to the west and the winding roads between the mountains.  The possibility of Zong Han marching westward is extremely high. You will understand it once you go to the front line and see it.  But even if the enemy's movements are deduced and understood, it is not that easy to fight this battle.  When will the Jurchen army move?  How will the Western Army, including the Zhejia Army, respond?  Will it go its own way?  Can the decisive battle deployment here be completed in time?  ¡°Also, can Hebei have enough time to calmly fight Zong Han?  All kinds of problems are all problems, weighing heavily on my heart.  Although the enemy's front on the floor was slightly set back, the wind and waves were rolling, making it even more urgent!  Just when all kinds of thoughts in my chest kept rising and falling.  Suddenly, Xiao Yan saw a group of people swarming up on the mountain in the distance.  This group of people also did not show any flags, and they were just a formation of dozens of riders.  But these dozens of riders are just like the soldiers of the King of Yan beside him. They are majestic and have rare horses.  There was a person clustered among them. He was not very tall, and his face could not be seen clearly from such a distance. He was also trying his best to look eastward.  At least seven or eight miles apart, Xiao Yan and the man discovered each other's presence at the top of the two hills.  The man looked at Xiao Yan for a while, then suddenly raised his hand in the distance, as if he was greeting Xiao Yan.  Then the dozens of riders slowly retreated down the mountain.  Zongze and others beside Xiao Yan also noticed the movements of the dozens of riders.  Many of King Yan's soldiers drew their weapons and guarded Xiao Yan closely.  Although they are so far apart, those dozens of riders pose no threat to Xiao Yan at this moment.  But the soldiers of the King of Yan who were all rolled out from the pile of dead people could clearly feel the scornful attitude of those dozens of knights!  Xiao Yan smiled coldly and whispered to himself: "Zong Han." At this moment, Xiao Yan inexplicably knew who the dozens of riders and figures who suddenly met seven or eight miles away were.  Wanyan Zonghan!  He also came east in person to see his military strength in front of him!  Xiao Yan jerked his horse and drove away.  At this moment, I am extremely sure.  The Jurchen army will immediately turn westward and defeat the flanking Western army first.  I don¡¯t have much time left!  And in Hebei, Yandi, the Jurchen East Route Army did not have much time left for themselves!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!

But when I woke up today, there was a sound in my right ear, like earwax hanging on the eardrum.  I have tried everything, but it¡¯s still the same.
