    North of Kelan River, in the main camp of the Zhejia Army.  ¡é¡Ü???There are already camps everywhere on the river beach, forming a plum blossom-shaped military camp, occupying the flattest area in the north of Kelan River and the most convenient place to collect water and wood.  Although the strength of the Zhejia Army is not large, it can be seen from setting up camp that the level of this army and horses is still good. Every soil work is done very solidly, and there is nothing sneaky or slippery.  The patrols outside the camp were also dispatched meticulously, shuttling back and forth to hand over the troops and protecting the area around the camp.  On the Kelan River, trestles were set up on both the south and north banks to facilitate the arrival of troops and horses.  The civilian men mobilized from the three prefectures of Fengfu and Lin also followed the army southward to transport the military supplies and wages needed to support a war.  Inside and outside the camp, although the clothes, armor and weapons of the Zhejia army officers and soldiers were not the most sophisticated, they were all well maintained. They marched with their chests and belly protruding, as if they were trying their best to show off the majesty of the Zhejia army outside the river.  To the north of the Zhejia Army's continuous camps is Hehejindu, where continuous camps have also begun to be built.  Large numbers of Yayan troops crossed the river and were then introduced to various camps to settle down.  Compared with the small and capable Zhejia Army, the lineup of the Yan Yan Army looks a lot chaotic.  Back then, the Western Army selected its elite troops for the expedition, and the Yanyan Army was left behind as a military town. Most of the elite troops had already been mobilized.  Some of them were buried with the Huanqing Army, and some were intercepted by other armies and never returned to the town.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  Originally, a large number of elites were mobilized, and they have not kept up with the war training in recent years.  The morale in the army has long been exhausted.  What's more, he was replaced by a general like Liu Guangshi.  Don't wait to go to the army.  Every day was just about banquets and parties, enjoying wealth and honor, and the fighting strength and morale of the Yan Yan army dropped further.  Now Liu Guangshi is hurriedly mobilizing to cross the river and march westward.  These officers and soldiers of the Yanyan Army were in chaos for a long time after crossing the river, unable to organize themselves into formation.  The manpower for arranging camps was not very capable. Some camps had more people and horses, and some camps had fewer people. There were some quarrels and disputes everywhere.  The generals had to rush to mediate.  In such a chaotic situation, even if there are enough ferries prepared, the crossing speed cannot be fast.  People on both sides of the Yellow River were shouting "horses neighing". I really didn't know how many days it would take for this large group of Yan Yan's troops to cross.  Although Xiao Yanjun doesn't seem to have much fighting spirit, his level of preparation is even worse than that of Zhejia's army.  But the strength lies in the strong lineup.  Liu Guangshi¡¯s purpose of crossing the river this time was to show off his military power.  One is to rely on the strong military appearance to suppress the Jurchen's march to the west, then retreat in spite of difficulties, turn around and continue to fight Xiao Yan.  Secondly, he also wanted to show off his power before the Zhe family, so that the Zhe family could see clearly how much capital a certain family had. After Xiao Yan and the Jurchen Tatars fought to the point of losing both sides, no matter what benefits they gained.  Naturally, a certain family will take the lion's share.  During this westward march, Liu Guangshi tried his best to mobilize his troops.  Even the defenders in the border military strongholds were mobilized!  They also pressured the local government to do their best to provide for the people and transport heavy supplies of food and grass.  Counting the number of troops sent, from the main army to the auxiliary army to the civilians, nearly 40,000 troops and horses were mobilized!  In fact, mobilizing so many people and horses is not a good thing. With so many people and horses, Zhejiafengfu and Linsanzhou will definitely not be able to support them. It is logistically difficult to transport grain, grass and baggage across the river.  ??And the battlefield was not very big in the first place, it was just a place for one or two state armies.  With so many people concentrated, it is difficult to mobilize command.  But Liu Guangshi had a greedy temperament and he just hurriedly pulled out so many troops and horses.  Along the way to Yanyan, there was a commotion among the people, and soldiers, horses, civilians, and vehicles were meandering along the road.  Now Hehejin Ferry is extremely crowded, and there are a lot of soldiers, horses and civilians rushing here to prepare to cross the river!  But although more troops and horses means more trouble, such a lineup is enough to make people stunned.  I saw Yellow River ferries going back and forth, unloading a large number of troops and horses one after another.  When Hehejin crossed the east bank of the Yellow River, he saw armored men covering the bank like the ground reaching to the sky.  Many camps and tents have been set up, and they are still extending to both sides.  There are more military and horse flags on the other side of the river, blocking out the sky and the sun, and the sound of golden drums delivering orders can be heard clearly across the river.  The two armies, the Yanyan Army and the Zhejia Army, are clearly separated from each other when setting up camp. The Zhejia Army relies on its elite troops, while the Yanyan Army feels that it has many soldiers and generals.  Since the two sides joined forces, they have been competing with each other.  And Zhe Keqiu is sitting in his own army, just waiting for Liu Guangshi to come to ask for advice.  You must know that on the battlefield in Shaanxi, the Zhejiahe Foreign Army always cooperated with the Western Army in fighting.  Zhe Keqiu acted like this, and the honest man Yang Keshi couldn't help but curse.  However, Liu Guangshi rarely showed high integrity this time.I beg you to stop acting like this with a smile and come to your door for advice.  Perhaps Liu Yameni felt that his troops were in great strength and he was full of confidence. It was no big deal to give Zhe's family a little face.  No matter what, the generals of the two armies finally sat together and prepared to discuss how to fight the Jurchen West Route Army.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~ The cowhide tent folded into the central military tent already looked a little old.  The life of the Zhe family was naturally much shabby compared to the various departments of the Western Army that the Song Dynasty used all its resources to support.  Outside the large tent of the Chinese army, two groups of guards stood separately.  But it was Liu Guangshi's bodyguards who had the upper hand. These carefully selected bodyguards had grown in stature and were all powerful in appearance.  The iron armor everyone wore was polished to a high shine, and with the brand-new brocade clothes under the armor, it was simply dazzling.  These Liu Guangshi's personal guards all wanted to look at people with their nostrils.  Although the Zhe family's personal guards also wore iron armor, their military appearance was more than inferior to that of the Yamen's personal guards.  Seeing the arrogance of Liu Guangshi's bodyguard, everyone looked angrily.  If the two generals hadn't been discussing matters in the tent now, there might have been a good fight.  And now in the Chinese army tent.  The atmosphere isn't necessarily much better either.  There is a wooden picture displayed in the tent.  It looks like it has some age.  But it is very well maintained, and it is exactly the mountains and rivers of the states outside Hedong and Hebei.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????]  He has the most honorable position and sits at the top.  Liu Guangshi and Yang Keshi were sitting across from Zhe Keqiu at the bottom, and Zhe Keqiu glared at Liu Guangshi fiercely.  There is no other reason than after taking a seat.  Liu Yanei, who came to ask for advice, finally felt a little embarrassed, so he accused Zhejia's Hewai army of not defending Kelan's army.  Let the Jurchen West Route Army penetrate deeply into the Yellow River, and now we have such a situation of overwhelming the Yellow River.  We also need troops and horses on the Yanyan Road to cross the Yellow River to rescue!  "Zhe Keqiu's intention to open the Kelan Army Pass and sit back and watch the fight between Xiao Yan and Zong Han is something that can be done but cannot be explained.  When Liu Guangshi said these words, Zhe Keqiu almost jumped up and punched Liu Yanei, who was nearly forty years old and still had tender skin and tender flesh!  Fortunately, he suppressed himself and just sat there and watched with cold eyes to see what Liu Yanei was planning.  Zhe Yanzhi, who was sitting at the top, was also very embarrassed.  In terms of his heart, he was naturally extremely opposed to Zhe Kiqiu's move to let go of Kelan's army.  But he was sitting alone outside the river. Apart from the name of the court, how much restraint could he ask for in half?  ??And after all, he is a son of the Zhe family, and he is currently serving as the deputy envoy to appease Hedong.  The main reliance is on Zhejia's army and horses.  Now that Zhe Keqiu has led his army south to fight the Jurchen West Route Army, at this time.  You have to take care of your family's face.  After Liu Guangshi said some accusing words, Zhe Yanzhi coughed and said with gentle words: "Uncle Ping, that's not what you said. Zhe lives outside the river, with Xia thieves on his left and Jurchens on his right. It's true.  Tens of thousands of tigers and wolves under Jurchen Zonghan's army surged southward and broke through Kelan's army. It was really a crime not to fight. At this time, Zonghan was heading west, and his troops were not close to the three states outside the river.  , even the Yanyan Road Gate is also being oppressed. We have the responsibility to defend the territory. What is important at this time is to decide on a war and defense strategy. How to prevent Zong Han's troops from being defeated in Hedong is the most important thing. " Zhe Yanzhi.  Speak plainly.  And his status is there after all.  Liu Guangshi couldn't be too unscrupulous in front of him.  At the moment, he just smiled: "What Marshal Zhejie said is true. Now that a certain Yan Yan army is here, the Jurchen Tatars can't even think about taking another step westward!" Hearing Liu Guangshi's words, he had been glaring at him angrily.  Zhe Keqiu's eyes lit up.  The Zhe family has few soldiers, so they must join forces with the Yanyan Road to advance and force the Jurchens to turn around.  He was afraid that Liu Guangshi, a yamen official, did not know the importance and really wanted to have a decisive battle with the Jurchen West Route Army outside the river, but he would suffer a big loss at that time.  But after listening to Liu Guangshi's words, he knew that this yameni's attitude towards the Jurchen army and horses and Na Laizi was similar to his own, except that the Jurchen army and horses could not go further west.  They also wanted to force Zong Han to turn around and fight Xiao Yan!  After understanding Liu Guangshi's thoughts, Zhe Keqiu immediately had a good impression of the yamen. As for the arrogance Liu Guangshi showed at any time, it didn't matter.  As for how much benefit both sides can share after Zong Han and Xiao Yan are both injured in the future, it will all depend on their own abilities.  The Zhejia Army is a local snake, can they really lose to the Yan Yan Army when the time comes?  At that moment, Zhe Keqiu took pictures of several cases and praised: "Liu Shuai's words are magnificent! Our generals must have such courage! How can the Zhejia and the Yanyan coalition forces still allow the Jurchen Tatars to cross the Yellow River to the west?  No, this is really a joke! "Zhe Keqiu changed his attitude, and Liu Guangshi didn't care about himself. He smiled and nodded to express his acceptance of his kindness.  In the military tent, the atmosphereHe immediately relaxed, and the general's harmonious spirit arose spontaneously.  Zhe Yanzhi sat calmly at the top. After watching Liu Guangshi and Zhe Keqiu signal to each other, he slowly stood up and said: "The two commanders are so united, why worry about losing this battle? I have been ordered by the imperial court to suppress Fuwai.  Zong Han's troops went deep south, which was the fault of the commander-in-chief. Naturally, he wanted to apologize to the court! However, it was not too late to make amends. At this time, the combined forces of Zhejia and Yanyan had strong soldiers and horses.  Ruyun. It's time to fight Zong Han!" Zhe Yanzhi's voice suddenly turned louder. He strode up to Mu Tu and slapped Kelan's army hard on the line from Langu County to Ningyuan Village.  "I believe that the two armies will consolidate the river defense and push the Jurchen Tatars back to Lanzhou. The other elite main force will advance northeast and recapture the Kelan Army from Langu County to Ningyuan Village, and encircle the Jurchen Tatars in the east of the river.  Zong Han's troops have been cut off from the ground and have no source of water. This is a great opportunity for a successful battle!" This battle plan has been brewing in Zhe Yanzhi's mind for a long time.  for a long time.  In his opinion, the combat power of Zong Han's troops was nothing more than this. He chose the road that could be vacated before he was able to surge southward. As a result, when he went eastward, he hit his head and was bleeding and had to turn around and head west.  In this way, the opponent can be defeated in one fell swoop!  Use the Zhejia Army to guide the main force of the Yanyan Army to recapture the lands on the edge of the Kelan Army.  The Jurchen Tatars were sealed between Lanzhou and Kelan's army.  If we attack it with a large army, we will surely be able to succeed in one battle.  The purpose of Nan Laizi's support in the conquest was to use his achievements in fighting the Jurchens to consolidate the status he had stolen.  And we can take this achievement from Xiao Yan's hands in a dignified manner!  When the time comes, he will use the newly victorious army to intimidate Taiyuan, recapture the emperor, and reorganize the court. His father and ancestors have been favored by the court for generations. This is the time to step forward and help the Song Dynasty to help the crisis!  Zhe Yanzhi has an awe-inspiring aura.  Scan the people in the tent.  Liu Guangshi and Zhe Keqiu looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.  The discount can make you famous.  Why is this son so scholarly?  Zong Han's Jurchen army and horses were reserved to consume Xiao Yan's strength. Why did he use his own army and horses to fight against him?  Isn¡¯t this putting the cart before the horse?  Zhe Keqiu was too lazy to talk about his distant nephew. He closed his eyes slightly and showed an indifferent expression, pretending that he didn't hear Zhe Yanzhi's words.  Liu Guangshi smiled faintly, stood up and said: "Jie Shuai's strategy is too reckless. If the main force is used for Kelan's army, wouldn't the Yellow River defense be empty? By then, all roads in Shaanxi will be in the Jurchen Tatars  The door is wide open in front of us, allowing the Jurchen Tatars to flow in, and all the people in Shaanxi will be in ruins. When the time comes, we will point at the backbone of the general and the general. Please forgive me for the general's difficulty in following this strategy. " Zheyan's character has not changed yet!  There was time to speak.  Liu Guangshi was the first to say: "The last general has a plan. The combined forces of Yanyan Army and Zhejia Army are marching westward steadily. The frontline of the army is pointed at Yifang, and Zong Han's troops are pressed to the east of Yifang. When the time comes, deep  The ditch is high and the base is high, waiting for the Jurchen army to be exhausted before the decisive battle. The commander-in-chief is the deputy commander of Hedong, and the commander-in-chief is the general of Shaanxi.  This is done, please forgive me. The army is crossing the river one after another. There are many things to do, and the general has to return to the army to take care of it. I will say goodbye!" After saying this, Liu Guangshi bowed slightly and saluted Zhe Yanzhi.  Just prepare to walk away like this.  And Zhe Keqiu also slapped the case and stood up: "It is the responsibility of the Commander-in-Chief, but sitting in the rear to appease the enemy is not the responsibility of our generals who have the final say on the responsibility of the front enemies? The general will not accept the orders of the emperor! Liu Commandery's plan  , Let¡¯s just do it like this! Anyway, we are going to fight with the Jurchen Tatars. Where can we fight? The Commander-in-Chief is just waiting for the news of our victory!¡±  Liu Guangshi is in the know.  The two of them looked at each other and smiled, leaving Orihiko in the tent who was so angry that his hands and feet were cold, and walked out side by side.  Yang Keshi looked back at Zhe Yanzhi and followed him out silently.  Liu Guangshi and Zhe Keqiu walked out of the tent side by side. They bowed to each other and agreed to meet again in the future. They talked and laughed, looking very harmonious.  In the end, after bidding farewell diligently, Zhe Keqiu personally sent the two of them outside the camp gate.  As for Zheyan's hostage in the tent, who will care about the two important generals who hold military power?  A large group of armored guards surrounded Liu Guangshi and Yang Keshi as they returned to Hehejin Ferry.  Liu Guangshi looked at the majestic troops coming from both sides of the Yellow River, and for a moment he felt satisfied and unstoppable.  He suddenly said to Yang Keshi beside him: "Your cavalry must recuperate during these days. When Zong Han turns around and fights with Nan Laizi until both sides are injured, your cavalry will rush out and fight.  Go to Taiyuan to get back the emperor! When the time comes, the credit for reviving the Song Dynasty cannot be shared with others! If I can do it for Guo Ziyi, why can't you do it for Brother Yang? "nbsp;Yang Keshi stared blankly at Liu Guangshi, who looked proud.  Is this idea too far-fetched?  Although Yang Keshi did not agree with Zhe Yanzhi's strategy.  To seal off the Jurchen Tatars' retreat, the Yanyan Army and the Zhejia Army alone may not be able to shoulder the important task of a decisive battle with the Jurchen Tatars.  The follow-up troops of the Western Army must come in large numbers to support them, and they also need the full cooperation of Xiao Yan's troops and horses from the east!  But the name Xiao Yan is taboo among people here, and Yang Keshi cannot mention it casually.  Although heading west steadily like this is a bit like sitting on a mountain and watching tigers fight, it is safer at least, and Yang Keshi agrees.  But before the war started, Liu Guangshi was so arrogant that he thought of going straight to Taiyuan to recapture the emperor in the future.  With such a general, what will be the outcome of this war?  Thinking of this, Yang Keshi sighed deeply in his heart.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
