    In the yamen office of the Jingluo pacification envoy on Jingyuan Road in Weizhou City, Zhong Shizhong sat upright and looked at the staff and generals coldly. The expression on his face was changing, showing that he was deeply hesitant about the current situation.  among.  After the death of Lao Zhong, Xiao Zhong kept his filial piety while wholeheartedly trying to win over the hearts of the Western Army and make the Western Army a whole again.  Although the situation in Bianliang was changing, Xiaozhong always stayed in Weizhou and never came forward.  For the Tane family, which has lived in Kansai for nearly a hundred years, grew up in the military, and lost countless children in the war.  Nothing is as important as the Western Army.  "But reuniting the hearts of the Western soldiers is easy to say, but it makes people feel a little powerless to do it.  It turns out that when Lao Zhong was there, although he looked like a sickly old man, he could not give any orders.  All the military generals on the route obeyed sternly.  Even the civil servants in Kansai would not do anything against Laozhong's wishes.  Back then, Tong Guan was so strong that the old man could almost compete with him.  There were only a few important generals of the Western Army who could be won over by Tong Guan, such as Wang Zhenma Kuo and others.  Compared to his elder brother¡¯s prestige, Xiao Zhong is far behind in this respect.  Once the old man passed away, he became a little less strict in giving orders.  Yao Gu and his son led Xihe without permission to select the front line out of Guanxi and went straight to Bianliang to participate in the imperial war, thus bypassing Xiao Zhong.  And the Xihe Army passed through Jingyuan and Yongxing Army Road, covering a distance of thousands of miles along the way.  Not a single Kansai army stopped them.  Moreover, quite a few scattered soldiers and horses have joined the Yao Gu and his son's camp, with the intention of following the Yao family and his son to gain greater fame and wealth.  If the Yao family and his son succeed in Bianliang.  I'm afraid that the Zhong family's control over the Western Army will come to an end from now on!  At that time, the Yao family and his son started teaching, Xiaozhong was really angry and anxious.  For a time, he even wanted to send troops to chase the tail of Xihe's army.  Cut it off in Kansai.  Fortunately, the staff persuaded them, saying that the Western Army's own rupture would ruin the overall situation.  Only then did Xiao Zhong stay in Weizhou and wait patiently for news from the Yao family.  Xiao Yan captured Bianliang in one fell swoop and forced the Xihe army to surrender.  In fact, in his heart, Xiaozhong was quite happy to see the success, and he was also a little grateful to Xiao Yan.  Yao Gu and his son lost power, and the storm of the breakup of the Western Army passed for a while.  But in order to compete for the vacant position on Xihe Road.  There are also the remaining soldiers and horses of the Xihe Army, and the generals under Xiaozhong's command have caused many troubles.  Souchong also suffered from headaches while observing filial piety.  The personnel of the Western Army are complex, and it is difficult to get everything straight.  Before the household chores were sorted out, another large-scale Jurchen invasion came from the east.  Xiao Yan supported the news that Yu Jia personally conquered Hedong. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And the Western Army must check out some of its troops and go to Qinwang no matter what.  (However, the loyalty and diligence of the Western Army, a fledgling warlord group, to the Zhao family cannot be overestimated. The first time Bianliang was besieged, the Western Army Qin Wang had only a small number of soldiers and horses. When he rescued Taiyuan, he was still rewarded because of the reward.  If he didn't, he refused to contribute, and let Xiao Zhong go deep into the army and be defeated. The second time Bianliang was besieged, the Western Army Qin Wang's division could be said to be very few. As for the famous ZTE general Liu Guangshi, it was simply all the way.  Waiting for a while, watching Bianliang being conquered, the Song Dynasty suffered the humiliation of Jingkang - Oscar press) But now the situation in the court is obviously controlled by Xiao Yan, King of Yan.  Xiao Zhong actually understood it very well.  As a large army group located in the barren land of Shaanxi, the Western Army must be supported by the hinterland of the Song Dynasty in Guandong and must have a court to rely on.  No matter whose hands this court is in!  Now that Xiao Yan is in power, he supports him in the expedition, and the Western Army supports more than 10,000 troops to show some goodwill. This is actually something that can be done.  It happened that Xiaozhong revealed his intention.  His subordinates and generals objected one after another.  The Western Army returned from the expedition, severely damaged.  The Xihe army's elite selection was ruined by Xiao Yan again.  Do you want to give your own strength to Xiao Yan in vain?  Not even a single soldier can fight it.  Xiao Yan wants to fight against the Jurchens alone and let him fight.  It's best to fight the Jurchens until both sides are injured. At that time, it might be a great opportunity for the Western Army to soar into the sky!  The generals and staff under his command all have this intention. It is time for Xiaozhong to win over the hearts of the army, so he cannot do it forcefully.  He could only politely refuse the title of military envoy Xiao Yan offered him, and went to the imperial court, saying that the Western Army had been severely damaged in the attack on Yan, and he should try his best to organize some troops and horses so that he could quickly select troops to accompany him for the expedition¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª  -In fact, it means not sending troops to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.  Although he made this decision, Xiaozhong still ordered all armies to prepare for battle and stick to their original defenses.  Don¡¯t participate in the war between Xiao Yan and the Jurchens, or at least don¡¯t cause trouble for Xiao Yan when he¡¯s fighting foreign enemies!  But who could have expected that the Zhejia Hewai Army would actually let go of the Kelan Army's defense line, allowing the Jurchen Tatars to surge deeper.  The war situation in Hedong suddenly became extremely critical.  Fortunately, Xiao Yan personally went to Taiyuan to stabilize the situation, and even defeated the Jurchen army and horse vanguard upstairs, finally saving the crisis.  ? ?When he heard the news, Xiao Zhong could not wait to rush out of the river in person to beg this guy!  As a general of the Song Dynasty, there should always be some bottom line!  Zong Han's troops failed to advance eastward to Taiyuan, and suddenly turned westward.  The troops pressed on the east bank of the Yellow River, as if they wanted to sweep outside the river and break through the river defenses to penetrate deep into Yanyan.  Such military information was naturally reported to Xiao Yanjun.  And Liu Guangshi also led the army to prepare to cross the Yellow River north, join the Zhejia army and horses, and assume a fighting posture.  The Zhe family also agreed to join forces with Liu Guangshi, and then the two families would advance and retreat together.  Xiao Zhong can understand the thoughts of Liu Guangshi and Zhe Jiajun at a glance.  These two families had no intention of fighting to the death with the Jurchen West Route Army.  I just want to spread the military momentum and force the Jurchen West Route Army to turn back and continue fighting Xiao Yan!  It would be best for Zong Han and Xiao Yan to lose both sides, so they would take advantage of the situation and reach into the east of the river. Maybe they would also want to take back Yu Jia further, or even go straight to Bianliang and become the new ones to control the situation of the court!  The battle situation suddenly changed, so Xiaozhong had other plans.  He summoned his confidants, generals and staff, and proposed that Liu Guangshi and the Zhe family army should not fight in deep ditches and high bases, while he selected the main force of the Western Army to go straight to Fuyan Road to serve as the apse.  Contact Xiao Yan at the same time, and the two armies will move together. We might as well gather the Jurchen West Route Army in the east of the river and annihilate it! ? But this is Souchong¡¯s proposal.  But it was met with almost unanimous opposition.  No matter it is the staff, the close military generals, or even the civil servants involved in this discussion.  All think so.  Just let Nan Laizi and the Jurchen army and horses fight!  The Western Army is just recuperating and waiting to finally clean up the situation!  One after another, the confidants of Souchong came forward and made impassioned speeches, detailing their reasons.  Everyone's words were extremely emotional.  It seems that everyone's starting point is for the sake of the Western Army, and there is no selfish intention.  Since the formation of the Western Army, as a group, its status in the Song Dynasty has not declined for decades. It relies on strength and strong soldiers and horses.  What is needed now is to maintain the property that our ancestors managed so easily!  The foundation of the Western Army is fundamental.  Is this really it?  Xiao Zhong is originally a person with a strong temper and is easily impulsive.  He is not such a smart and thoughtful person.  Everyone does and says so.  Xiao Zhong hesitated for a long time and could no longer go against everyone's opinions.  Now is the time to win over the hearts and minds of the Western Army generals. Even if they are small species, they dare not be too arbitrary.  Maybe the generals said so.  Is it really right The soul of the Western Army, the foundation of the Western Army, is the strength of its soldiers and horses The staff and generals all looked at Xiao Zhong eagerly.  Xiaozhong, who was quite thin and haggard, hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed: "Then it's up to you! Let Liu Guangshi and Zhe Keqiu go their own way and force the Jurchen West Route Army to turn back! Liu Guangshi and Zhe Ke  If you ask for anything, please try your best to comply with their wishesbut you still need to prepare an army of troops and horses to support Yanyan Road in case anything happens!" He stood up suddenly and his eyes became sharp: "   You want to fight for the position of the Xihe Army. You need more time to recuperate and restore the strength of the armies. Now this is the end of the peace and quiet for each army.  Intensify your training. One day, we will go out of Kansai to fight the Jurchen Tatars! Then, no one will have any lingering thoughts. The military law is exactly what it is designed for!" Xiao Zhong gave the order.  It was buzzing and echoing in the festival hall.  Both the staff and the generals all stood up and saluted: "How dare you disobey Mr. Xiao Zhong's orders!" His subordinates looked so loyal, diligent and respectful, but Xiao Zhong didn't have the slightest look of satisfaction on his face. He just glanced at them deeply and waved his sleeves.  He strode forward and entered.  In the festival hall, the staff and generals looked at each other.  Isn¡¯t the current situation the best for the Western Army?  Why is Mr. Souchong still upset?  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~ On Hehejin Ferry, a Yellow River ferry slowly parted the waves and came towards the east bank.  The ferry was filled with armored guards in brocade robes. They were all carefully selected Kansai men. They were all in the same class.  With such power, it goes without saying that the person on the boat they were guarding was Liu Guangshi, the most pompous person among the Western Army.  On the Hehejin Ferry, a group of military generals had been waiting there for a long time. Yang Keshi was standing at the forefront. It was still raining lightly at the moment, and the rainwater slid down his lap, making his face look particularly gloomy.  There is no sign of joy at all in successfully crossing the river and heading eastward.  The big ship slowly came to the shore, and the sound of drums and trumpets was heard on and off the ship.  More than a dozen sergeants were busy connecting cables, mooring and setting up the springboard.  Then I saw those armored guards, row after row, coming down with full ceremonial flags, and then stretched out in a figure of eight on both sides.Stretch queue.  When these armored guards stood still, many officers and soldiers bowed together and saluted, shouting like thunder: "Welcome to you, General!" Although Yang Keshi was a guest general, he was now under the control of Liu Guangshi.  Although he couldn't stand Liu Guangshi's behavior, he could only bend down slightly to salute, but the look on his face was even more ugly.  Amidst the shouting, two handsome young stable boys came out first, leading Liu Guangshi's pure black Hexi horse with only a white hoof.  Then eight more personal guards got off the gangplank and spread red felt strips on the mud floor.  And the precious horse on the west side of the river covered with dark clouds and snow was waiting in front of the felt strip.  You can go straight up the mount without getting muddy or wet.  After all the arrangements were completed, Liu Guangshi staggered out.  He didn't wear any armor, he just wore brocade clothes and held an iron ruyi in his hand, making him look like a famous general.  Yang Keshi¡¯s face was gloomy. If Liu Guangshi dared to mount his mount like this, he would be able to walk away!  Fortunately, Liu Guangshi wanted to show some kindness to Yang Keshi. When he saw Yang Keshi standing at the front, he said hello: "General Yang, why do you need to be so polite? Bring your mount over and let the others ride together."  Okay! Why don't you come to greet me?" This greeting made Yang Keshi's face look better.  A bodyguard had already brought his mount over. Yang Keshi waited for Liu Guangshi to get on the horse first, and then he also climbed up.  The generals who were waiting for him all stood up. Amidst the sound of drums and trumpets, they lined up to escort Liu Guangshi to the location of the Chinese army and set up a large tent for the Chinese army.  Yang Keshi and Liu Guangshi sat side by side, raised their riding whips and pointed at a camp on the south bank of Kelan River: "The Zhejia army set up camp there. General Zhe said that the Jurchen army and horses are not far away now, and he still needs  If you personally control the army and horses, you can't come to greet the general. But if you want to discuss the military situation, please go to the Zhejia military camp to meet with the general." Liu Guangshi smiled: "How many soldiers and horses does the Zhejia have?  , How many soldiers and horses does a certain Yanyan army have? Anyway, he is a landlord, so I will give him a favor and go to meet him! Let¡¯s see how the two families united to push back these incompetent Jurchen Tatars!  These Jurchen Tatars are really a joke!" As Liu Guangshi said his words, the armored guards also got on the horses that had crossed the river first, and surrounded Liu Guangshi and Yang Keshi.  People splashed mud all over the ground and headed towards the camp where Zhejia had set up.  At this moment, in the north of Kelan River, there was a steady stream of boats bringing the Zhejia army across the river.  On the east bank of the Yellow River, there was no telling how many troops on the Yan Road were waiting to cross the river.  Looking at the distance of more than ten miles, there are all sergeants, all chariots and horses, and all military flags!  (To be continued) ps: I go to hang water during the day and can only come back to code at night.  Sorry for the late update. ????????????????????????????????????
