    In the darkness of the night, dozens of horses galloped over, the sound of hoofbeats alarming groups of men and horses who were patrolling at night.  However, after the interception, the generals who led the sentry team all bowed to the visitor and retreated.  These dozens of people and horses who came out of the night were surrounded by one person, none other than Yang Keshi.  This famous cavalry general in the Western Army looked like he had been worn down by a lot of work, but he still sat on the horse with his back straight and his eyes bright.  Since crossing the river, Yang Keshi has never had a good rest. Now he is even more generous and accepts the order to lead the way for the army. He is also responsible for the most difficult and dangerous work. You can imagine the hard work. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Although the general's deportment was not diminished a little as he came back in a hurry, and he shared the joys and sorrows with his men, which was very different from our general, General Liu.  The officers and soldiers of the Yanyan Army who came out on patrol tonight full of complaints could not help but respect this senior cavalry general of the Western Army.  Before that, General Yan Yan had secretly laughed at Yang Keshi.  After hard work, they trained a white army, but due to internal disputes between the Western Army and Tong Guan, they were handed over to the now extremely jealous King Yan.  Then he was ordered to train a cavalry army honestly.  But in the military, who doesn¡¯t know that training soldiers is like refining elixirs and hatching eggs? It¡¯s the hardest work and the least profitable.  How can a general who is a general guard the flooded areas get nourishment?  In this way, you will not suffer from hardships, but you can also set up a private tax collector's office to collect extra money. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Xiao Zhong asked him to listen to ¨’¦ç, w¡Ýww. Dispatch from Liu Guangshi, Yang Keshi took the most difficult and dangerous forward mission without much bargaining.  Not to mention that Yang Keshi was not very good at making money, but he rewarded his subordinates with whatever he earned and provided compensation to the bereaved family members of his fallen son.  His status in the Western Army is not low either.  More resources and hope.  There is little money left at home.  Such generals.  Even if all the superior officials praise each other, what's the point in being worthy of it?  However, since the troops were dispatched, supplies have been insufficient, the army has been poorly organized, and supplies and supplies have been in short supply. The general Liu Guangshi has continued to act extravagantly and rashly.  When the morale of the army had dropped to a considerable level, they suddenly saw Yang Keshi's tall and upright figure on horseback at night, and they couldn't help but think of these officers and soldiers of the Yanyan Army.  It's really better to let Yang Keshi be in charge of commanding the entire army, and Liu Yanei just enjoy the blessings west of the Yellow River. In this way, maybe he can still win a battle with the Jurchen Tatars!  Along the way, they met Yang Keshi and his group of night patrol officers and soldiers, and they all diligently introduced them into the camp in person.  Yang Keshi's bodyguards looked left and right on horseback.  The camp of Liu Guangshi's Chinese army should be considered strict. They were arranged layer by layer and guarded layer by layer. All the night sentries that should be released were also released.  However, a discerning person can still see the flaws.  For example, no small teams of soldiers and horses were sent out to set up camp on the mountains on either side of the main camp.  Control those divergent mountain roads.  Needless to say, it was because the morale of the army was low, and order could be maintained near the central army with layers of generals suppressing them.  But don't even think about having your troops and horses climb up to high places and work hard to set up camp.  And Liu Guangshi's Chinese army seemed to have the plan to concentrate as many troops as possible in one place, maintaining the appearance of a large number of people and a majestic military appearance.  It seems that this can scare the Jurchen Tatars on the opposite side.  However, real veterans will only sneer at this lineup.  An army needs space most to maintain enough room for maneuver. Are they huddled together and waiting to be beaten?  Looking at the densely packed central camp of the Yanyan Army in the night, Yang Keshi and his party had a little more foreboding about this eastward advance that would demonstrate the power of the Yanyan Army.  What¡¯s even more surprising is the men who stopped in front to enjoy the wind and drink the dew, their armors covered with frost.  Deep in the military formation, where the Chinese army's tent was heavily guarded, was actually brightly lit!  There was also the faint sound of silk and bamboo.  The Chinese army tent is actually still holding a night banquet at this moment, and it hasn't stopped yet!  This is so famous that everyone is fighting older.  The eyes of all the subordinates turned to Yang Keshi, who was sitting on the horse, his face as dark as the night around him, but he remained silent without saying a word.  After passing through one camp after another, we finally entered the Chinese military camp.  From the entrance of the camp to the inside, there are guards with bright armor on duty. Everyone is holding a spear and a halberd, and even those Zaoyang spears, Jinding spears and single-fist spears that are only useful in ceremonial guards.  Quite a few.  These seven-foot tall men carefully selected by Liu Guangshi stood all the way in such a majestic manner.  Outside the Chinese army's tent, the guards' armor was even more brilliant. There were burning butter torches surrounding the Chinese army's tent, illuminating the surrounding area.  The weapons in the hands of the guards flashed with a dazzling cold light in the firelight.  A few dozen steps away, a flag official came out to greet them and ordered Yang Keshi and his party to dismount.  Although the flag officer was very powerful, he did not dare to neglect important generals like Yang Keshi.He was so busy that he quickly reported the news of his arrival to his account.  In an instant, the flag officer came out proudly and shouted loudly: "General, please come in, General Yang!" By doing this, the guards behind Yang Keshi were so angry that they almost drew their swords and fought with these straight thieves.  Have a fight.  Although they all look tall and majestic, who wouldn't know that they are all children of the generals who follow the Liu family?  Thanks to the good food he was born with, he grew up like this, and as soon as he went into battle, he stayed in the army and followed his merits.  If we really want to fight together, ten of us will beat you up!  Yang Keshi turned around and glanced at the angry guards: "Stay here! Give the horses water, take a nap at home and see if you can find some hot food to eat. I'll go find it myself.  General Liu, please don't let anything happen to you!" After saying this, Yang Keshi straightened his clothes and followed the flag officer.  As soon as you enter the tent, you will feel the warm aroma coming to your face.  Although it is summer now, the weather this year is colder than in previous years. Especially at night, if you wrap yourself in a thick cloak and sleep outdoors, your hands and feet will often become cold from the cold, and there will even be a thin layer of ice on your armor.  frost marks.  But in this big tent, there are incense burners arranged in the four corners, burning not only the fine Zhongnan Mountain charcoal, but also fried agarwood slices.  At this moment, there is a special person taking care of it, carefully controlling the heat.  The mountain wind howled outside.  It was as warm as spring in the big tent.  The aroma is refreshing and refreshing.  This big tent is twenty or thirty steps in diameter, and it is more than enough to accommodate fifty or sixty people.  The ground was leveled, first covered with a layer of bamboo mat, and then spread with oilcloth to isolate the moisture.  The top is a layer of carpet.  Yang Keshi's muddy leather boots stepped on them, and he just felt that the boss was uncomfortable.  In the big tent, they were having a banquet, and they were sitting at separate tables quite formally.  Liu Guangshi is wearing a brocade robe.  He looked like he was wearing a light fur coat, and he was sitting slanted behind the table. After drinking a little wine, his face was even more rosy and he was in high spirits.  On several tables, there were browned lamb with skin, fresh fruits of various colors, good soups, and even fine fish carefully cut by experts brought from the capital. The lights were on in the tent.  Under the reflection.  The thin fish meat is crystal clear, as if it is made of crystal.  The one sitting at the bottom.  They are all Liu Guangshi's confidants, including his younger brother Liu Anshi.  He and Liu Guangshi were born from the same mother, and their appearance was exactly the same, but there was a bit more ferocity on his face.  Liu Anshi was so relaxed that his inferior horse danced with an iron rod weighing more than ten or twenty kilograms. He was always known as the number one fighting general in the Yan Yan army.  During this expedition, Liu Guangshi put all the Fan cavalry under his command, making him the most powerful unit in the Yan Yan army.  Liu Anshi and a group of close confidants and generals of the Chinese army all changed into brocade robes, and at this time they were all dripping with wine on their chests.  In addition to them, there were also some Qingke staff accompanying the army. They seemed to be composing poems and commentaries in advance to write down Liu Taiwei's congratulations for the great victory of this military expedition.  The waiting musicians immediately started to sing, and the sound of strings and bamboos was mixed with the sound of flattery one after another, which was really lively.  Liu Guangshi sat at the top and just shook his head and twirled his beard.  The military generals didn't know much about poetry and songs, but they knew how to flatter each other. After every word, they came forward to toast the general, boasted about their bravery, patted their chests and declared that they would serve the general to the death.  , no matter who the opponent is in front of him, as long as the general gives an order, he will be the first to rush over without blinking an eye!  This banquet has lasted for a long time, and it is far from coming to an end.  This is also the habit of the nobles of the Song Dynasty. A banquet often lasts all night.  While Kou Laigong was berating him, he would often have banquets like this. When the sun was bright in the morning, he ordered people to put up a thick brocade tent to block the sun, and everyone continued to drink.  At the busiest time, Yang Keshi suddenly arrived and was introduced by the flag official. Everyone at the table turned their eyes to him.  Liu Guangshi, who was sitting at the top, looked very kind. He bowed slightly during the dinner to say hello: "The night is getting colder. Since you are here in person, why don't you sit down? You have been working hard all the way. I don't care if you have any military reports.  Let¡¯s wait for three minutes before we talk!¡± The three smart generals immediately jumped up with a smile, each holding a cup of hot wine in their hands, leaving the table and offering it to Yang Keshi.  But Yang Keshi didn't even look at them, he just stretched out his hand to push them away, strode up to Liu Guangshi who was sitting at the top, and bowed deeply.  " Yang Keshi's behavior was a disgrace to the host at the table, not to mention that the host was the commander-in-chief of this expedition!  Liu Guangshi, who always took his status very seriously, his smiling face suddenly darkened, and his brother Liu Anshi even snorted and stood up.  Yang Keshi straightened up proudly: "The purpose of returning at the end of the night is to report the situation of the enemy's army to the general. In the army, drinking wineI really dare not accept it.  When the war is over, the general will ask the general to drink as he pleases, and the general will drink as he pleases!  Liu Guangshi waved his hand to his brothers to sit down, and asked calmly: "How is the military situation in the forward?"  " Yang Keshi looked around and saw that there was not even a wooden plan displayed in the tent, so he had to stretch out his hand to draw. "The last general's troops have already marched eastward to the Black Tea Mountain and sent out sentries to investigate.  In addition to Black Tea in Shandong, in the north of Hehe County, we can see that the Jurchens have established a series of military strongholds and have flags posted.  This time, after marching more than a hundred miles eastwards, we have not seen any sign of the Jurchen Tatar enemy!  ??¡­¡­Zong Han¡¯s subordinates, there should be tens of thousands of Hu cavalry, even if they want to prepare for King Yan in the east and guard the back road in the north.  How can it be so empty before our army?  Yan Yan's army, with a force of 40,000 to 50,000, marched straight along a road along the Weishui River Valley. The mountains were narrow in all directions. If the Jurchen Tatars just showed signs to lure our army deeper, and their light cavalry protruded to cut off the retreat, the final general would only be afraid of these tens of thousands of troops.  , it is likely to be destroyed in one day!  " Regardless of the fact that the face of Liu Guangshi sitting at the top was getting more and more ugly, and regardless of the fact that Liu Anshi and other Chinese generals were sneering and shaking their heads. Yang Keshi continued to speak calmly. "With today's plan, there will be a return in the end.  Please give the order, my lord, even if the army does not retreat.  You can't go any deeper.  It's time to set up a stronghold.  Cover your back path.  Establish a stable and unshakable trend first.  After the back road is stabilized and there is no shortage of supplies and supplies, we can advance step by step for the camp. The last general will be invited as the vanguard. Even if the Jurchen Tatars want to fight, the last general will only accompany them to the end and open a passage eastward for the general!  " In the military tent, Yang Keshi's voice was humming as he recalled. These were the words from the heart of the Western Army veteran. After speaking, he held his fist again and saluted, just waiting for Liu Guangshi's reply. Liu Guangshi looked at Duanran standing indifferently  Yang Keshi there, pondered for a while, and finally spoke slowly: "Zong Han's Jurchen army suddenly swept across the land beyond the river. The troops pressed into Hejin, and they penetrated into the Shaanxi Province.  trend.  With such a military situation, they must be beaten back.  Let the Jurchen Tatars not take advantage of the opportunity to break into Shaanxi's roads?  " Yang Keshi was startled. He didn't know how Liu Guangshi said such a thing. But he could only nod his head. What he said was absolutely correct. The Western Army must not accept that the tens of thousands of Jurchen troops are just across the Yellow River and can rush into Shaanxi at any time.  The strategic situation of the hinterland. Otherwise, Xianggong Xiaozhong would not have sent his troops to assist the Yan Yan army, and asked him to obey Liu Guangshi's dispatch orders. Liu Guangshi's voice raised a little: "  A certain Western Army has a plan for the overall situation and decisively moves out. What's wrong with that?  The imperial court is now controlled by Xiao Yan. This time, can I get a penny or a stone of food from the imperial court?  Xianggong Xiaozhong is sitting in Weizhou, still waiting and watching in the name of mourning his brother. The other generals of the Western Army are trying their best to restore the vitality lost since the war against Yan and let them go out. Which army and horses can be easily mobilized now?  It¡¯s not just that the Yan Yan Army of a certain country acted upon orders. The food, wages, ordnance and human lives fought in this battle are all the property of the Yan Yan Army of a certain country!  How much wealth does Yanyan Road have that can support the entire army in a protracted stalemate?  " This series of questioning, every word of it was reasonable, and Yang Keshi was choked and could not speak. Seeing that Yang Keshi was speechless, Liu Guangshi sneered: "In this situation, the more the stalemate is, the more disadvantageous it will be.  Only with a magnificent army can we advance decisively.  The oppressed Jurchen Tatars turned back to the east!  A certain group of Western troops were well-known troops in the Song Dynasty, and when the Jurchen Tatars saw that the Yan Yan army was advancing so decisively, it was unknown how many Western troops' back-up troops were crossing the river to support them.  This is also someone¡¯s tactic to show off!  " He simply stood up, walked back and forth with a little bit of wine, and continued to talk endlessly. After all, Liu Guangshi was a disciple of the Jiangmen family. Although he enjoyed himself excessively, his words were still full of energy, but in the tent  Echoing. "Zong Han's troops are just barbarians. The nature of barbarians is to plunder.  Here is the tens of thousands of the Yanyan Army in great strength. Even if this army is defeated, there are still many Western troops behind it, and there is still a Yellow River to cross.  In this case, the Hulu will naturally choose to go east. Xiao Yan's army is just a new army. How can it compare with the Western Army, which is a battle-hardened elite that has been cultivated by the Song Dynasty for decades?  Defeating Xiao Yan in the east will lead to the rich hinterland of Hedong, and we can even go south to plunder the Central Plains.  Tell me, given the nature of the Hulu, who will they choose as their enemy?  "Liu Guangshi looked at Yang Keshi fiercely, as if he wanted to get an answer from him. But Yang Keshi has never been good at talking. Even if he had a lot to say, he didn't know where to start for a while.  Liu Guangshi did not give Yang Keshi a chance to organize words to refute the remonstrance. He waved his hand and continued speaking loudly.  , in order to prevent a certain Yan Yan army from going deeper, and also wanted to hold Hehe County in his hands and have a little more room for maneuver!  The rest of the main force has already turned eastward, preparing to fight Xiao Yan desperately!  At this time"If we don't take advantage of the opportunity to rush forward, how long will we wait?"  We must capture Hehe County in one fell swoop and cut off the Jurchen Tatars' westward path, leaving them to focus on searching for Xiao Yan desperately!  At that time, it is not too late to set up a stronghold, strengthen the troops, and reorganize the entire army!  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ wait for the whole army to raise the power, and the female true and Xiao Yan are in the same way.  Fu Yan's army suddenly came out again, deciding the situation in Hedong in one fell swoop.  Someone once again led an army to arrive at Taiyuan Mansion and headed towards the Second Holy Heavenly Palace. Only then did you know who was the mainstay of the Song Dynasty who could truly turn the tide!  I want to be Guo Ziyi, but it depends on whether you want to follow me or not. In the future, you will be able to become a general and enter the phase, and the bed will be filled with wats!  Even Zhe Keqiu, who has always been just a housekeeper, underestimated this opportunity and poured out his wealth to take advantage of someone. However, some people are timid. Isn't it a mistake?  " Liu Guangshi's words were impassioned and powerful. He stood with his hands behind his head. He looked as if he was the best general in the world. Since the beginning of the dynasty, Cao Wuhui and Di Wuxiang were all out of the question.  Even Bai Qi of Qin, Li Mu of Zhao, Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms, and Wei Huo of the Han Dynasty were all comparable to him. They all stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Guangshi.  Go down: "We dare not die for the general, but we are willing to follow the general to gain this great wealth!"  " Yang Keshi is full of bitterness. Now he understands. Liu Guangshi is not unreasonable, and his knowledge is not absurd. This plan, at least, is sound. But he lacks the ability to command an army and his knowledge.  By the way, the ability is far behind! No matter how powerful the army is, who can intimidate Xiao Yan's army with such a low morale?  He is an out-and-out soft persimmon! And Liu Guangshi is too conceited at the moment, and he completely regards his imagination as reality. Even the Jurchen Tatars must act according to his plan and do not accept other possibilities.  , Yang Keshi has also seen it. Without painful setbacks, they will never understand this truth. The enemy also has their own plans! Now Liu Guangshi has completely become a famous general of ZTE, and his status in the future will be far higher than that of Laozhong Xiaozhong and others!  The prospect of this was so confusing that even if Su Zhang Fusheng could speak with blood, he could not change Liu Guangshi's thoughts.  The general waited for a moment and looked at Yang Keshi coldly: "It is a serious crime for you to disobey the military order.  However, since you are a guest general, you must also treat Xiao Zhong with kindness.  Xu Ru, whether you retreat with your personal guards, return to Weizhou, or wherever you go, I will not care about you.  But most of your cavalry have to stay behind and follow certain orders!  If you dare to lead the whole army to move lightly, I will correct the military law first!  The enemy retreats and affects the military strength. This crime is a crime that even if the relative is in a small village, there is nothing to say!  " Before Yang Keshi could reply, Liu Guangshi said loudly: "Where is Liu Anshi?  "Liu Anshi suddenly jumped up again and made a thunderous promise: "The end is here!  Liu Guangshi pointed to the east in the tent and said, "Take all your troops and ride up to the top!"  If General Yang leaves, the cavalry under his command will also be under your command. I will first take down the Jurchen Tatar military strongholds east of Black Tea Mountain!  Liu Anshi accepted the order loudly, looked sideways at Yang Keshi who had nothing to say, and said coldly: "General Yang, what are you doing?"  Should you leave your troops and horses to me, or should you do whatever you want to do?  " Yang Keshi stood there in a daze, full of bitterness. For a moment, he really wanted to turn around regardless of the situation, take his sons and fight back to the west of the Yellow River! But Liu Guangshi was right, if he retreated from the enemy like this,  In the end, a fire broke out, and the morale of the tens of thousands of Yan Yan troops was completely destroyed! After all, it is better to say that the Yan Yan troops are all members of the Western Army.  If you stay here, at least there is a chance, maybe you can save some more Shaanxi sons! Yang Keshi slowly clasped his fists and bowed his hands, saluting: "Ms. Xiaozhong asked me to obey General Liu's orders, since General Liu is the leader!"  Keep going eastward, I will obey your orders.  I will return to the army and make preparations to reach the east of Black Tea Mountain.  " With such a posture, it is already the limit of a Western Army veteran like Yang Keshi. Staying in this tent for a moment longer is an insult to his family. After a salute, Yang Keshi turned around and left. " In the military tent  , everyone looked at Yang Keshi's back with different expressions. Liu Guangshi's face flashed with a stern look, and he said to Liu Anshi: "Third brother, thank you for your hard work. Lead the army to follow us overnight!  Keep an eye on this guy!  If he still dares not to work hard, he will have to capture this guy first even if he is evil to Mr. Xiaozhong And after this battle, it is still undecided who will have the final say in the Western Army in the future.  !  "When he came out of the military tent, even if he was hit by the cold wind at night in the mountains and the smell of horse manure, Yang Keshi feltI felt refreshed and the block in my chest loosened a little.  A group of personal guards were waiting outside the tent, and the generals and senior officers had their own thoughts and undercurrents.  The low-level generals and soldiers below are all Shaanxi men, and they get along very well.  Not only did Yang Keshi's bodyguard mount come to drink water, but he also cooked a lot of hot soup with dried meat and distributed it.  Yang Keshi¡¯s personal guard Xili was drinking hot soup while snoring, just chatting with these Yanyan Army sergeants outside.  Even the sergeants of the Chinese army had a lot of slander towards Liu Guangshi.  Although Liu Guangshi treated his own army well, the army was going to fight after all. If the general failed to control the army well, everyone would really lose their lives.  The march alone has been so chaotic recently, and the morale of the Chinese army is also extremely high.  But right in front of the general's tent, no matter how much he or she harbors any thoughts of slandering the general, he cannot speak out.  Everyone can only chat, talk about my wife's family, talk about the situation at home, and talk about the acquaintances that everyone knows and is now working under King Yan to get an eye-catching promotion.  When he was chatting endlessly, he heard the sound of footsteps and saw Yang Keshi striding out of the military tent.  A group of personal guards immediately poured hot soup and jumped up to greet their general.  One of the generals asked in a low voice: "Do you agree to stop here, stabilize the back road, and then move forward?" According to Yang Keshi's will, it is best not to start such a rash and extremely unfavorable war.  Okay, it's proper for everyone to turn around and go back to guard the river.  But everyone knew that Liu Guangshi was a man of good face, so turning around and going back like this would definitely be unacceptable.  As long as the army can be stopped and attention can be turned to stabilizing the back road, it is barely acceptable.  This matter is so important that it affects the lives of tens of thousands of people who advance eastward.  Seeing Yang Keshi coming out, the general couldn't help but ask questions.  Yang Keshi's face was extremely ugly. He loudly ordered his bodyguard to lead the horse, and then walked around anxiously and remained silent for a long time.  All the guards knew that something was wrong, and their expressions became grim.  When the mount was brought, Yang Keshi got on his horse and said loudly to his bodyguards: "Turn around with me! Tomorrow the whole army will cross the Black Tea Mountain!" After saying these words, everyone felt as if a thunderbolt had hit their heads.  The soldiers at the lowest level in the army all saw that the situation was very dangerous, and the Jurchen Tatars would definitely take action. Why did Liu Guangshi still drive the army to go deeper?  But Yang Keshi didn¡¯t want to say any more. He gave his mount a whip and relaxed it first.  A group of guards kept up, and only one person sighed at the Guardian guard of Liu Guangshi, who had just entered Hong Kong just now.  "But you should also be careful! We, General Yang, can always live and die with us if something changes. You, General, will not leave you and run away! At that time, if  If you see our flag, just come to our side! You bastard, I don¡¯t know how many lives will be lost after this battle!¡±  After saying this ominous sentence, the bodyguard hurriedly followed Yang Keshi.  Only a group of Chinese army guards were left standing on the ground, looking at each other. The mountain wind blew, and everyone was chilled to the bottom of their hearts.  But in the big tent, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded melodiously again!  PS: Weeping blood, please vote for me!  !  !
