    The rain in the sky has become almost non-existent.  However, after several days of heavy rain, the azure water surged, rolling and tumbling in the valley.  The mountain road is even more filled with water vapor.  The road is extremely muddy. The valley road that used to be filled with dust is now like a flowing mud river.  "But this road is still full of soldiers and civilians, struggling in the mud.  The sergeant was a little better. Whenever he could no longer walk, he just avoided the road and rested in the mud.  However, the labor of pushing and pulling the vehicle was ten times harder than that of the sergeant, and they could not put down the vehicle and take a rest on the side of the road, otherwise the mud would soon come up. If it sunk deeply, I wonder if the vehicle could be pushed again.  move!  On both sides of the road, soldiers with tired faces and muddy faces were sitting or standing in the mud.  The road was filled with people pulling or pushing heavily loaded vehicles. Everyone was squeezing out the last bit of strength. However, when the convoy was still moving slowly, the escorting army raised its whip in the air.  They swung so hard that they made a whining sound, and from time to time they exploded with firecrackers in the air. However, no matter how much they yelled or threatened, they could not make these extremely exhausted civilians move even half a minute faster.  Such weather, such terrain.  Yan Yanjun, who had just taken up his position, began to mobilize in such a hurry again. The reason is very simple.  It was from the north, from the east, the ominous smoke pillars rising from the outer military forts!  The Jurchen army on the west route did not go as General Liu thought. In front of the 40,000 Yanyan army, they could only turn westward to fight for the king of Yan.  Instead, he suddenly opened up his formation and counterattacked!  Although the terrain and weather were not conducive to launching an offensive operation, the Jurchen army's counterattack was not very violent, and it only slowly oppressed the surrounding military strongholds.  The peripheral formation arranged by the Yan Yan Army did not waver for a while.  But the Jurchen army acted like this.  Yan Yanjun must make corresponding adjustments.  In response to this development, we have a very broad front.  A forced counterattack in the rain and mud!  The soldiers and horses originally stationed near Hehe County must be mobilized to strengthen the military strongholds that control the roads everywhere.  And more sentinels must be dispatched to obtain more accurate military information.  The baggage convoy that was blocked on the road due to heavy rain some time ago must be transferred up as soon as possible to enrich the military supplies and grain reserves in Hehe County.  The entire Yanyan Army was like a beehive that was suddenly disturbed, and became frantically busy in the mud and rain!  No matter whether you are an army officer or a civilian, you have to struggle very hard on this muddy road.  But few people complained.  Such terrain and weather would be a greater obstacle to the Jurchen army and horses that suddenly launched an offensive, so the Yanyan army can still maintain its position now.  But everyone knew that the general in charge of the office was wrong in his judgment on the movements of the Jurchen army.  This Jurchen army, which had been retreating step by step against the Yanyan Army some time ago, was not afraid of the military power of the Yanyan Army at all, but after attracting the Yanyan Army to penetrate too deeply, it was ambitious to eat these 40,000 boys of the Yanyan Army first.  !  What these military officers, soldiers and even the people want now is that the general in charge of the office can calm down at this moment and stabilize the position of such a large army.  Don't get carried away and end up losing your position.  Let the 40,000-strong army suddenly collapse!  After Liu Guangshi suddenly encountered this frontal and ambitious counterattack, his actions were considered safe.  Instead of advancing or retreating easily, they adopted the strategy of strengthening the periphery and trying to stabilize their position to deal with the Jurchen Tatars.  The dispatching of troops and horses can be regarded as clear-cut.  This made many officers and soldiers of the Yanyan Army breathe a sigh of relief.  The most fearful thing is that Liu Guangshi retreats easily once he is attacked. Yan Yan's army goes deep into the Weishui River Valley and stretches into a snake-like formation, and the road is so unbearable.  If Liu Guangshi rashly orders a retreat and the Jurchen Tatars take advantage of the situation and press forward, the entire army will collapse in the Weishui River Valley and be trampled under the iron hooves of the Jurchen Tatars in the mud!  It doesn¡¯t matter whether you struggle to march in the muddy water or fight against the Jurchen Tatars in those small and damp military villages.  None of the disciples of Yan Yan had any complaints. They just hoped that General Liu could sit firmly in the seat of Hehe County and stabilize the morale of the entire army.  Fighting for our lives, of course we will be there!  The situation at the front is stable for the time being, but the way forward is naturally a matter of concern to the whole army.  However, compared to the yamen general in charge of Hehe County, the rear path is relatively more reassuring for the whole army.  Looking west from Black Tea Mountain, there are two generals guarding the back road, one is Yang Keshi and the other is Zhe Keqiu.  They are all veteran generals who have experienced battles for a long time and have great reputations.  Moreover, his subordinates are also elite, so it is not easy to defeat them.  And the military information that General Liu is seeking reinforcements from the Western Army Commander has been spread quickly.  The Western Army will definitely send reinforcements, and after crossing the Yellow River, they will be able to catch up with the troops and horses left behind.  As long as the road ahead is safe, help will continue to flow.  Even for our own lives, we have no choice but to fight tooth and nail with the Jurchen Tatars in this quagmire.  They want to devour 40,000 of the descendants of Fuyan in one go, but the Jurchen Tatars don't have such a good appetite! ??????????????? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~ On the road, dozens of riders passed by in a hurry.  None of the knights on the horses wore armor, just to reduce the weight of the horses traveling in the mud.  Everyone was wearing a Fanyang felt hat, with the brim of the hat held low, and they were just urging their horses to break through the muddy water and relax toward the east.  This team of knights did not display any flags, but looking at the marks on the buttocks of the good horses in the river meander, who could not recognize that they belonged to Yang Keshi who was guarding the Black Tea Mountain area?  Many soldiers who were taking a breather by the road stood up and looked anxiously at the knights passing by. ????????? Could it be that there is some important military situation happening behind the scenes?  Could it be that the Jurchen Tatars went around to the Black Tea Mountain?  That would cut off our Yanyan army in the middle!  A general rushed to the roadside and shouted: "Have the Jurchen Tatars attacked Black Tea Mountain?" One of the dozens of knights gathered around lifted the felt hat on his head, revealing a weather-beaten face.  This general recognized him clearly, it was Yang Keshi!  Yang Keshi reined in his mount, and the knights around him followed suit and stood in the muddy road.  Countless eyes were immediately cast over.  Yang Keshi glanced at the general.  He shook his head and said: "What can happen to Black Tea Mountain? I, San Qian Er Lang, have protected the back road tightly there. This kind of weather road. The Jurchen Tatars want to come in along the mountain path. As long as we  If you don't mess up your own family, it's even harder than climbing to the sky! Are you so panicked? Yan Yanjun is also one of the six groups of the Western Army. Is this all you can do now? If you shout randomly in the army, I will punish you for disturbing the morale of the army.  I will give your head to General Liu!" These words immediately made the general lower his head, his face burning to the root of his neck.  Not daring to say anything more, he just retreated.  But countless eyes only fell on Yang Keshi.  It seems that they are counting on the Western Army veteran to say something that will make them feel at ease.  Yang Keshi nodded.  He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Today's matter is nothing more than a battle! Our Western Army has been in the Western Army for hundreds of years, and we have relied on killing Tatars to make a living? What is there to fear? I just want to say one thing here, no matter what  No matter how the war is going, I, Yang Keshi, will always live and die with you. Just hold on here! The Western thieves have not been able to capture our few small forts in Guanxi for a hundred years. The Jurchen Tatars want to devour us all.  Dream! Just keep fighting here, Mr. Xiaozhong will come to our aid later!¡± This was a plain statement, but it was what the sergeants wanted to hear the most.  At this time, I am afraid of causing chaos.  As long as the generals can stabilize their position, the retreat can be effectively maintained.  Who are you afraid of when defending against the Western Army?  Several sergeants bravely answered: "General Yang, you are a guest general, and you will accompany our Yan Yan army to fight together?"  If you all work together, what else can you do? A few birds just sit still and help push the cart. If you have food and weapons, you won't panic when fighting. If you are so lazy, you will.  Under my command, the boss's army batons hit him at the head of the queue!" The soldiers who were resting by the road stood up with a roar, and came to the middle of the road to help the extremely tired civilians start pushing and pulling the carts, and the escorting army generals also  Blushing, he dropped his whip and joined the crowd.  The shouts and shouts were loud and loud in the road, and the morale of the soldiers seemed to be a little higher at this moment.  Yang Keshi nodded with satisfaction and greeted loudly: "After this battle, I don't care how you will be rewarded by the Lord. Every one of you counts. I, Yang Keshi, will pay for you to drink! I am a poor official, so I don't care.  In addition to the official rewards, I will give you four taels of wine!" The officers and soldiers of the Daoist Army cheered loudly to express their thanks.  Yang Keshi put on his felt hat and urged his horse to leave amid cheers.  The smile that appeared while answering the sergeants disappeared in the blink of an eye.  Yang Keshi has never been afraid of leading Guanxi Erlang to fight to the death against any enemy.  Although there are 40,000 Yanyan troops and Zhejia troops gathered here, Yang Keshi's heart is just heavy.  Even though Liu Guangshi still has some skills in leading the army, can he survive this difficult and dangerous situation?  To be honest, Yang Keshi doesn¡¯t have much confidence in him.  Although the children of the general family have been taught step by step from generation to generation, they are quite methodical in leading troops and forming formations.  But this is all just superficial.  If you don't care about the soldiers on weekdays, how can you share the joys and sorrows with them when they are in battle, and stay calm in times of danger?  And this is not what Yang Keshi is most worried about at the moment.  To the west of Black Tea Mountain, the Zhejia Army has broken camp and headed west!  Important military information also came from Zhe Keqiu. This military information is currently only known to Yang Keshi and a few close associates.  Now we need to rush to Hehe and report this important military information to Liu Guangshi in person!  The Jurchen Tatars seemed to have attacked in the rain from Kelan's army.?Copy all the way to the back road of Hehejindu.  It is not yet known whether the escape route is cut off or not!  And the main force of the Jurchen Tatars in front of them also suddenly moved, extending the front and outflanking them to the north, oppressing them all the way.  With such a move, the situation going forward is really not optimistic.  The outstanding strike of this strange soldier is really powerful.  Zhe Keqiu gathered his own children to go west to deal with it, which is also the right argument.  Now Yang Keshi only hopes that veterans like Zhe Keqiu can reopen the way back and stabilize the battle situation!  In fact, even if you are temporarily trapped in a tight siege, there is nothing to be afraid of.  To the west of the Yellow River, there is still the main force of the Western Army.  The combined forces of the Yanyan Army and the Zhejia Army are also very strong. As long as they stabilize their position, they can sustain them until the reinforcements of the Western Army arrive.  Although the reserves in the army are not very sufficient, they can be used sparingly to eat. For half a month and fifteen days, the army will not be without food.  And the female true soldiers attacked the Lan Army, and naturally it was impossible for the team to lead the team to the village, making the encirclement rigorous.  In many places, it must have been nothing more than a cavalry warning curtain.  Even if reinforcements from the Western Army do not arrive, the combined forces of the Yanyan Army and the Zhejia Army will resist the oppression of Zong Han's troops from the front, while resolutely dispatching troops and horses to fight for the road to the west. I am afraid that just with these tens of thousands of men, they may not  Can break out a bloody path and fight back to the bank of the Yellow River!  But does the current Western Army still have this quality?  Is the leading general so brave?  Everything he has seen and heard in recent years has made Yang Keshi feel breathless.  In the war against Yan, the Western Army and Tong Guan fought for power and lost nearly half of their troops in vain.  The two armies around Qing and Yan were withered.  After returning to Kansai, with the death of Lao Zhong, the generals also defended their strength and intrigued each other. Xiao Zhong's control over the Western Army was greatly reduced.  That's why Liu Guangshi suddenly moved eastward to grab credit.  And by extension, it was the same throughout the Song Dynasty.  The situation in the court was ever-changing, and both the court and the public seemed to regard the King of Yan, Xiao Yan, as a life-or-death enemy.  Unfortunately, they had never thought that the only one who defeated the Khitan in Yan and was fighting against the Jurchens at this moment was the King of Yan, Xiao Yan!  The entire Song Dynasty, and even the entire Western Army generals, were filled with a putrid smell.  They are all thinking about how they and their family can get the greatest benefit from such a huge change in the political situation.  Even Mr. Xiao Zhong is watching!  From Yang Keshi¡¯s point of view, what¡¯s there to wait and see?  But just lead the troops out and kill the Tatars openly and openly.  After you have made great achievements in battle, are you still afraid that your status will not be guaranteed, or that the world will not pay attention to you?  But whatever you do, you do it with integrity and confidence!  What a man wants should be taken from the straight line, and don¡¯t ask for it from the wrong side!  But in this world of Song Dynasty, the only one who can really get it straight is the King of Yan, Xiao Yan!  If the person in the upper position is like this, then that¡¯s fine.  Pity the tens of thousands of Kansai heroes who are driven by them to fight such a stupid war!  Yang Keshi is a person who is clumsy in speech, always acting in a dull manner.  But after all, he has been immersed in the military for a long time and his status is quite high.  What else can¡¯t you understand about the thoughts of the generals and even the people in the court?  You are fighting for power and profit, so just fight.  But don¡¯t want to think about what time it is now?  It was the time when more than 100,000 Jurchen Huqi who had defeated the Liao Kingdom were marching southward.  The sharpness of the Tartar soldiers was even greater than that of Chanyuan.  The Song Dynasty is now divided and declining, which is much worse than the Chanyuan period!  The more I think about it, the stronger my premonition of the war ahead becomes.  The chants of the sergeants and civilians were still coming from behind. Being taught a lesson by Yang Keshi boosted their morale, and they were now very happy.  Yang Keshi let out a long sigh in his chest.  No matter what your plans are, as a military general and under the orders of Souchong, I just fight to the end for the Western Army.  I don't expect much from you, I just want a little.  Don¡¯t abandon these tens of thousands of Kansai men lightly!  The sound of hoofbeats sounded like raindrops. Yang Keshi sat on the horse, his face as iron as steel.  The city wall of Hehe County is already in sight.  And in the drizzle, the plumes of smoke rising from the mountains to the north and east stand like trees.  The howling of the wind seemed to be the cry of thousands of Tartars!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
