    Hedong Road, north of Fenzhou, Guozha Town.  At this moment, both inside and outside the town were full of sergeants' carriages and horses. It was the time when the army was preparing to set up a meal in the army at dusk.  In the wilderness outside Guozha Town, there are army camps everywhere, and marching stoves made of forts everywhere. The smoke rises like a forest of spears pointing to the sky.  Flying geese fly by in the sky, their cries are high and far away.  Such a scene has a desolate and majestic scene of an army on the way.  Although Guozha Town is named after the town, it is located in the vast valley of Fen River.  It borders Taiyuan Prefecture in the north, Shangdang Basin in the south, Shizhou in the west and the important town of Yansui in Shaanxi Province.  Fenshui, Wenshui and Taigushui meet in the southeast of Guozha Town and are one of the important transportation hubs south of Taiyuan Prefecture.  Although it is a town and has no city walls, its residents are prosperous and no less prosperous than other local states and counties.  In Guozha Town, there is also a large-scale post house, and a horse delivery service has been set up. The express delivery from Taiyuan Prefecture to the south is the fourth stop in Guozha Town.  At this time, the large groups of people inside and outside Guozha Town are speeding up the Divine Guards on the north [ÎÞ][Error] quled, and where the emperor of the Song Dynasty is.  The Divine Guards were naturally stationed outside the town, forming plum blossom-shaped layers to guard the imperial camp.  Even when setting up a temporary camp, everything was done meticulously. All ditches and walls were set up, and triangular iron nails were scattered all over the outside to serve as obstacles.  When setting up camp during the march, the generals kept a close eye on such civil engineering work, precisely to hone the temperament of the new army of the God Guards and allow them to adapt to the war atmosphere as soon as possible.  In fact, in terms of quality, the field army of the Divine Guards is not that bad.  The key personnel are the thousands of most loyal and capable people who stayed after Xiao Yan ran the new army in Bianliang after the incident.  The beginning of the army.  They are in Bianliang.  Needless to say, the equipment is the best.  And the Bianliang Incident happened.  It can be considered as seeing blood.  They have always been trained very hard, and under the command of experienced and capable generals, they should have a certain level of combat effectiveness.  The other large part is the Xihe Army's chosen vanguard.  The Xihe Army has been known as the powerful force of the Song Dynasty since it opened to Hehuang.  Most of the chosen frontmen were cavalry, and there were even one or two thousand cavalry among them.  Needless to say, the combat effectiveness is strong.  Second only to the Shenwu Ever-victorious Army and the Dragon Guard Army's elite cavalry, which have been honed through many fierce battles in recent years.  These Xihe picks were driven by Yao Gu and his son.  I drove thousands of miles to Bianliang to get chestnuts out of the fire.  The men and horses were dragged to exhaustion, and were finally surrounded by the superior Yanyun cavalry led by Xiao Yan. They lost their reputation and justice, and offended Xiao Zhong and had no way to return.  This was easily solved by Xiao Yan and basically contained him.  If they really want to go into battle, this collected military horse may be the most reliable main force in the Divine Guard Army.  The other one is an elite one among the Youyan cavalry, and their quality is needless to say.  In any case, it was as powerful as the imperial troops stationed in the hinterland of the Song Dynasty.  The imperial camp guarded by the Divine Guards was mainly composed of thousands of squadrons brought by Zhang Xian.  Although the scale is not large, it is compared to the former Gozen Zhubanzhi who could only perform tricks and embroidery in the bid competition for Jinmingchi.  Those are the elites who can be pulled out to fight in the field in emergencies.  The shortcoming of such an army with good quality is that its ingredients are too mixed.  If we really face a life-and-death battle, I'm afraid everyone has their own agendas and cannot cooperate properly.  So Xiao Yan originally planned to train them near Xijing to train this divine guard into a good shape.  However, things were urgent in Hedong, so Xiao Yan could only ride lightly and travel northward.  Zhang Xian was summoned to strengthen the commanding force of the Divine Guards.  Also let the Divine Guards take over immediately.  As soon as the drill was completed, we could only make up for it while marching.  That¡¯s why we have to do meticulous soil work every day when setting up camp.  Without setting up a stable camp, no one from top to bottom was allowed to rest, let alone have hot soup and rice to eat.  At night, when you are sleeping soundly, you may have to listen to the gongs several times in the camp to wake up the sleepy sergeants.  Either they take their positions in Pingzhai to defend themselves, or the infantry marches out in formation, and the cavalry also mounts their horses and spreads their wings to cover the infantry array.  This kind of tossing happens almost every day.  This divine guard army, which was composed of soldiers and horses from several disciplines, endured the torment of the generals together. They dug trenches and built fences like marmots every day, and were sleepy-eyed and cursed every day while being beaten by gongs and drums.  Alarmed, the camp was formed into a field battle formation.  In the ordinary unlucky encounters, there is some sympathy for each other, and it is a bit like a military horse that breathes together and hears each other's voices.  The training is so hard, Fuxun in the army must keep up, otherwise in this era, even if you, Sun Wu, are still alive, you will be involved in the mutiny.  Fortunately, Xiao Yan still has more than enough resources for a battle that will determine the fate of the country.  In the time and space without Xiao Yan, after being destroyed by the Jurchens, more than half of the Bianliang wealth that was plundered by the Jurchens and transported back to the north in thousands of pacific cars was already in Xiao Yan's hands after two incidents.  And now the princes of Dongfu are submissive to Xiao Yan for a while. At least in terms of military expenses, Xiao Yan can take whatever he wants for the time being.  In the Divine Guard Army, military payNeedless to say, the quota will be distributed.  After crossing the Yellow River, in accordance with Xiao Yan's order, another battlefield allowance was made. For a day in the east of Hedong, whether engaged in battle or not, there would be fifty liters of pure copper per day.  Although the name of this battlefield allowance is weird, it is actually real wealth!  And the counties and counties in Hedong along the way also went all out to supply food and fodder for the march.  Although it is hard work every day, the food is very good.  You must know that there were too many people who helped with various expenditures in the military in the past. During the heyday of the Western Army, tens of millions of military expenditures were spent every year, but the sergeants often used black rice that had been released for who knows how many years, and finally provoked  Mutinies are by no means rare.  The memory of so many heads that Xiao Yan chopped off in Bianliang is still fresh in people's minds. Compared with Bianliang, the land east of Hedong is the territory where Xiao Yan's army gathered.  For a while, no one dared to reach out, and the benefits fell on the heads of the army officers and soldiers.  For most of the Song Dynasty sergeants in this era, a Shangguan who can provide enough military pay and goods is a good Shangguan. Only when the money and goods are provided are enough, can they have enough desire to fight.  This is also a reality that cannot transcend the times.  Fortunately, Xiao Yan has always been a Shangguan with an excellent reputation.  In addition to this kind of favor, there is also the sense of honor that is indispensable for warrior sergeants.  Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, how many cases have there been of supporting the emperor and accompanying the King of Yan to personally fight against the barbarians?  Die in battle like this.  It is also the ancestor of Guangzong.  The honor of blood-eating EMI.  If you win and return to the army.  This contribution is enough to lie on it and eat until you die of old age!  And the Divine Guard Army is now one of the four upper armies, and is indeed one of the main forces of King Yan's direct lineage.  Looking at the current power of King Yan, it is difficult to say how far he will be in the future.  If you really want to work for him in a down-to-earth manner, it is difficult to say that you are not a hero of Conglong.  At that time, the merits will not be achieved until death, but together with the descendants, they will be achieved for three to five lifetimes! ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? For most of those characters in the Imperial Guard who are really bad.  No matter how great the benefit is, it may not be as important as their lives.  Even if he brought a sword to the Tartars in the end, he would never be willing to fight to the death for the Song Dynasty. ??????????????? But among the Divine Guards, whether you Yan entered the guard cavalry, or the people who guarded the imperial army and still remained under Xiao Yan, or the Xihe Jingqi.  After all, he is still willing to fight for fame and wealth in the future.  Youyan's cavalrymen are naturally loyal to Xiao Yan, who started his career in Yandi, and are not afraid of blood and fire.  The remaining members of the imperial guards have also experienced two incidents and tempering. As for the Xihe Army, they have been fighting to expand the border for the Song Dynasty for decades!  Since you are able to fight and are willing to fight, there is such a reward.  Why are you so unwilling to contribute?  Marching all the way to the vicinity of Guozha Town, the Divine Guards already had some appearance.  Although all the generals and soldiers were disgraced, they were in good spirits.  The closer we get to Taiyuan, the more energetic we become.  The latest military news has come. As soon as King Yan arrived in Taiyuan, he beheaded Wu Min, the pacifying envoy, to calm people's hearts. Then he defeated the vanguard of the Jurchen West Route Army in Loufan and beheaded him at the level of three thousand!  The King of Yan¡¯s Shenwu is truly worthy of his reputation.  The might of Shenwu's ever-victorious army shocked everyone.  The more this happens, the more the Divine Guards have to show off!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~ Therefore, the military camp set up in Guozha Town today has strict laws, the trenches are dug wide and deep, and the fences are erected meticulously.  The soldiers of the Divine Guards, who had been marching and working hard for a day, were still lining up to sing the imperial military songs of the Song Dynasty, and lining up to receive their own meals. Their momentum was much higher than when they just crossed the Yellow River.  .  In Guozha Town, the original post house was temporarily used as the royal palace, with Ban Zhi's imperial camp guarding the outside, taking turns to guard it.  The three treasures of the Zhao family are all in the Divine Guards, and they are arranged far apart in the Guanyi.  The three members of the Zhao family are very knowledgeable. After entering the post house as Ban Zhi's escort, they never left the door.  On the other hand, the accompanying civil servants, after settling down for a while, had to go out to walk around Guozha Town to disperse. The imperial camp Ban Zhi had to send people to protect them. I don¡¯t know how many Ban Zhi people cursed in their hearts.  Straight mother-in-law, what are you doing? The old brothers of the Shenwu Changsheng Army are fighting happily at the front, but we are here to serve a bunch of big turbans. I really don¡¯t want to go and smear my face in front of the Lord and make a fuss.  , let¡¯s see when we can be transferred out of this bird class!  Among the squad, those old soldiers who have followed Xiao Yan to fight for a long time naturally account for the majority.  They even recruited some of Yanyun's disciples to serve as bodyguards.  But there are also other characters who surrendered halfway.  At the north intersection of Guozha Town, the two Banzhi patrolling side by side were the two people who called Xiao Yan's men Yanmen when Xiao Yancai entered Bianliang. They shared some benefits in the football market.  Old acquaintance.  It is Gao Zhongwu and Shi Xingfang.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT THE Bianliang Palace Changes for the first time, these two people saw the opportunity quickly and joined Xiao Yan's army with their entire family.  When the Bianliang Palace changed for the second time, the position was very stable.  In particular, Shi Xingfang's father, Fatty Shi, was in the arsenal.The man was beaten to a bloody head and almost lost his life.  For such a loyal person, Xiao Yan will naturally be rewarded.  The future for the disciples of military ministers can naturally only be found in the army.  Without any merit or hard work, even if he was promoted, he would not be able to handle it in Xiao Yan's group.  There was no reason for the two of them to go into battle. In addition to losing their own families, they also had to kill all their men.  The only thing I can do is to squeeze into the imperial banzhi.  The disciples of the generals are well-behaved and well-behaved, and can serve as a buffer for those who are new to the imperial class.  Follow the imperial commander to the east of Hedong, and come back to give him a little promotion. This is a reward for those who surrendered halfway.  "Compared to two years ago, the two people patrolling the intersection now look different.  Gao Zhongwu lost his previous style of floating Kosaburo, and finally looked consistent with his age in his early thirties.  When speaking, always think first before speaking carefully.  As for the stone square.  The change is even greater.  It turned out that I was fat and had a spherical figure.  Now you can actually see your waist.  Once you lose weight.  Only then did I realize that this little fat man Shi was actually quite good-looking, not as vulgar as before.  Wearing armor, you can sit firmly on a horse, and you can hold out for an hour or two while holding a sword and wearing armor.  The duty of the two of them is to guard the north intersection and prevent irrelevant people from rushing into the imperial camp.  If any civil servants want to leave Guozha Town, they must be stopped diligently and politely.  The scope of their activities is within the circle where the imperial camp is located.  Smoke curled up from the military camp outside.  The majestic singing sounded everywhere.  The two people who were patrolling side by side looked at each other, and Gao Zhongwu Gong said to Shi Xingfang: "Don't you want to join the Fourth Army? Your father got a lot of luck from the Bianliang incident last time. Even if he begs before the King of Yan, is he still afraid?  Right? Seeing King Yan kill Wu Minru and kill a chicken in Taiyuan Mansion, the world will really turn upside down at this time. Wouldn't it be better to join the Fourth Army and get a share of family wealth? " Shi Xingfang  He just shook his head, looked around, and lowered his voice: "It's better to stay safe in the imperial camp! Follow the emperor. No matter how the wind and waves change, there is nothing wrong. Naturally, King Yan is eyeing the dragon. But if you really want to go further, you must go west.  The army is completely at home! If we don't take care of this problem, it's hard to say whether this war will be won or not God knows what will happen in the future! My father has made it clear that since King Yan has given the mission, we, father and son, will do our best.  It's just an errand. Don't think about it. No one's head is safe in this world!" Although Shi Xingfang has experienced a lot, he is much calmer.  But before that, he was not a very strict-mouthed person. Gao Zhongwu was considered a brother with the same origins, the same experiences, and caring for his life.  I looked around and no one said this.  Gao Zhongwu was deeply moved, knowing that Shi Xingfang would not say these words unless he regarded his family as life and death brothers.  And it¡¯s still a very reasonable statement.  Xiao Yan's power is naturally quite large at this moment.  And he has mastered the king of the Zhao family and has a certain reputation and righteousness.  If it were not for the Jurchen invasion, this huge change would have happened.  Focusing on internal strife and using Xiao Yan's methods, more than ten years later, the country of Song Dynasty might really change its color.  But at this moment, we encountered the disaster of the Jurchens going south, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to collapse!  At this time, no matter how strong Xiao Yan was in the Song Dynasty, he would still have to suffer many constraints.  The Zhejia Army, which was within the scope of the Western Army, gave way to the Kelan Army, which immediately put Xiao Yan in danger.  He risked his life and went to Taiyuan in person to narrowly recover. ?? If the Western Army, the largest powerful town in the Song Dynasty besides the King of Yan's Army, cannot be conquered by Xiao Yan in this battle.  No one can say what the overall situation will be like in the end.  Maybe in the next moment, Xiao Yan, who was so prosperous at this time and even surpassed the king of the Zhao family, would fall from his peak and eventually fall to pieces!  And if Xiao Yan is defeated, it remains to be seen whether the Jurchen army will submerge the entire Song Dynasty.  In short, the weather is about to change, and in the midst of the situation, everything is so chaotic and unpredictable!  Gao Zhongwu murmured in a low voice: "Zhi Niang, you can't wait for the King of Yan to drive the Tatars back, and then the princes from all sides will fight each other to the death? Don't end up giving the Tatars an advantage!" Shi Xingfang just shook his head.  Gentlemen, who knows what kind of thoughts I have now.  Although Xiao Yan was in the spotlight for a while, he was always thinking about things externally and internally, and he was walking on thin ice!  Gao Zhongwu didn't know why he got into a conversation today, so he lowered his voice and said: "Does King Yan really want to wait for the emperor to come to the door in Taiyuan Mansion? This is already in the north of Fenzhou, and he hasn't come to greet him yet. Even the powerful officials,  Let¡¯s spruce up the appearance a little bit" Just as he was saying this, he saw a sudden movement in the camp of the Divine Guards in the distance. Several generals came out of the camp and gathered at the intersection to the north.  And there was a rumor that the cavalry came straight towards the imperial camp, holding the flag of the Chinese army with unimpeded passage in their hands.  See the flagFaced with the cards, Gao Zhongwu and Shi Xingfang quickly got out of the way without saying a word.  Not long after Chuanqi entered the imperial camp, he saw that Zhang Xian had already led hundreds of troops to march out with a guard of honor.  A trail of smoke and dust rolled up from the two of them and headed north.  It¡¯s no secret at this time that King Yan¡¯s arrival is coming soon!  Gao Zhongwu and Shi Xingfang did not dare to leave their posts without permission, so they each tidied up their appearance, stood up straight, and no longer had the time to talk nonsense.  At this moment, the drums and trumpets of the gathering army also sounded in the Divine Guards.  The large groups of troops marched out in formation, lining up on both sides of the road coming from the north.  In the imperial camp, many civil servants who came with the car, no matter how they were not straight with Xiao Yan, the southerner, all changed their formal crowns. Those who had enough status naturally went north to greet them, while those who did not have enough status stayed in the imperial camp.  Wait in front.  In the blink of an eye, the tens of thousands of divine guards were in commotion, just to welcome Xiao Yan's arrival!  I don¡¯t know how long I have been waiting, but the sunset on the horizon is already like blood.  Finally, I heard the sound of the golden drum, and dust started to rise in the distance in the north.  Countless flags and banners were leading the way, and how many brave generals were guarding the vanguard. In the smoke and dust, the banner of King Yan Xiao Yan was finally raised!  At the sight of the flag, thousands of athletes from the Divine Guards cheered loudly, and following the general¡¯s orders, they all knelt down on one knee.  The swirling smoke and dust gradually approached, waiting for everyone outside Guozha Town. From the accompanying civil servants to the Imperial Ban Zhi, everyone bowed and saluted!  Gao Zhongwu and Shi Xingfang were naturally respectful and polite.  No matter whether Xiao Yan is enemies both internally and externally at this moment, no matter whether Xiao Yan has an unpredictable future.  But now Xiao Yan had indeed come from Yinan to command an army of 100,000, standing at the pinnacle of power in the Song Dynasty!  And now that he has welcomed the emperor to Taiyuan, his Yanwang camp is like a separate imperial center.  Internal and external wars must revolve around Xiao Yan as the core!  Amidst the cheers of thousands of athletes, and the salutes and greetings of countless people.  Xiao Yan came out of the crowd, accompanied only by Zhang Xian, Wang Guitang, Wang Huai, Wang Zhen and other important generals of the Divine Guard Army, as well as dozens of personal guards of King Yan, and entered Guozha Town.  When passing Gao Zhongwu and Shi Xingfang, Xiao Yan stopped his horse for a moment and asked: "But Gao Sanlang and Shi Dalang?" Gao Zhongwu and Shi Xingfang looked up in shock. I didn't expect Xiao Yan to still remember them.  Personal figure!  Looking up, Xiao Yan was sitting on the horse. Although he was thin and looked slightly tired, his position gave him the air to look down on the world.  His eyebrows are still as sharp as when he first entered Bianliang.  It's just that the status of Xiao Yan and the two former generals in the Yamen were already very different.  Before Gao Zhongwu and Shi Xingfang had time to reply, Xiao Yan smiled again: "As expected, it is you. You have already enlisted in the squad. Just do your best and don't disgrace your family name." After finishing one sentence,  Under the guard of the soldiers, Xiao Yan had already gone away.  Gao Zhongwu and Shi Xingfang stared blankly at Xiao Yan and his entourage. Before they arrived at the hotel that served as the palace, they didn't even have to go through the process of being summoned. The palace door was already wide open, and the servants trotted out to greet them and bowed down.  One place later, Xiao Yan was welcomed into the palace like a phoenix!  And the soldiers of the King of Yan always followed him in armor!  Gao Zhongwu said to Shi Xingfang in a daze, "How can King Yan really do anything to defeat his internal and external enemies?" Shi Xingfang remained silent and saw Xiao Yan with his own eyes.  Only then can one suddenly feel that it is this person who has risen like a miracle and reached such a high position!  But as a man, no matter how useless he is, if he sees such a miracle with his own eyes, he can¡¯t help but want to follow it!  ¡°Whether it is the Jurchens, the Western Army, or the princes of the DPRK, can they really defeat the King of Yan in front of them?  Along the way, King Yan has faced countless hardships and dangers, but he still stands firmly here, getting higher and higher as he goes!  Xiao Yan walked straight into the palace proudly, and then Hanlin, who was accompanying him and was responsible for drafting the imperial edict, was also hurriedly summoned.  Not long after, the knights carrying imperial edicts came out one after another, heading straight from Guoqiao Town to all parties.  After leaving the brigade to save the crisis in Hedong, Xiao Yan once again took the imperial driver into his hands. This time he did his duty and wanted to mobilize all the power of the Song Dynasty to fight the Jurchens to the death!  And how will all parties involved in this war act? Where will this increasingly violent storm be swept?  But no one can understand it!  (To be continued) Chapter 107 of the third volume of "Bu Tian Crack" (Wind and Storm (Eleven: 11:
