Volume Two, Bianliang Mistake, Chapter Six, Initial Meeting
"Xuanzan, be careful, I'm here!"
With Yue Fei's simple reminder, he had already swung his big gun with one hand and stabbed him with a shot. He pointed directly between Xiao Yan's chest and abdomen.
Xiao Yan was wearing a powerful outfit that was convenient for movement, with his left shield and right sword, and he focused on watching Yue Fei's big spear coming. The shield in his left hand was pressed against the spear head and then he made a progress. The long sword in his right hand had already reached the blade upwards and the blade was towards the lower edge. The advancement also stabbed Yue Fei between his chest and abdomen. If he only had a long sword in his hand, his left hand should have guarded his right wrist.
The posture of this sword was decent and the movements were flexible and fast. When his eyes were blurred, he could see Xiao Yan bullied him in. No matter how he looked, he looked like a veteran who had come out of the battlefield!
Even if Xiao Yan was in good health, he was a reporter and was no better than a otakus. The development level of modern people exceeded the average level of this era. The children of generals from generation to generation were just this body. The killing moves on the battlefield came and went in just a few seconds, and they naturally became quick to learn. Not to mention that he had already rushed to kill many times, and he was not as timid as a white-collar worker in the fight in the face of the battle.
When he came to this era, he had put a lot of effort into it. After all, such troubled times are not the only place to discuss! After more than half a year of unremitting training and actual combat, Xiao Yan himself felt that no matter whether he was stepping or immediately, at least he would not drag others down.
However, the ability he had developed was not enough to see in front of an invincible general like Yue Fei. Although he had made progress and bullying his body fast enough, Yue Fei did not even move to step and dodge his sword. He shook his wrist, and the big gun with the shield was bent and pulled over, and a knock on Xiao Yan's back. This time, Xiao Yan jumped up and threw down the long sword in his right hand. If it weren't for the small shield in his left hand stuck to his elbow, he would have also thrown down!
He sucked the cold air and tried hard to scratch his back, jumping too high: "Pengju, don't you know how to show mercy? Yue Wudi, this is not a fight in the last battle!"
Yue Fei smiled and took back the big gun. Zhang Xian, who was serving the side, had already come up with a smile, helped Xiao Yan take off his left shield, and put on a cloak. "Xuan Zan, Brother Yue is already merciless. Facing my brother Yue's big gun, the shield must be pushed outward, and his body tilted down slightly. Before hurting others, you must first be careful of your opponent hurting yourself. This knife is right... Xuan Zan has little experience in the battle, so he just goes straight and fights for a few more battles..."
Xiao Yan was still sucking in the cold air, and probably had a swollen one on his back. He was wearing a cloak and didn't wear a wind blow. He continued to do a few stretching movements while his body was still hot. He was strong enough, but his muscles and bones were still too hard. After warming up, the stretching effect was the best: "It's just a precaution... I hope I won't increase my experience in fighting before the battle..."
The people were in the back garden of Xiao Yan's yamen. The back garden was not taken care of, and it was also winter weather. Xiao Yan was already in ruins when he came. He simply gathered hundreds of people to flatten the back garden that imitated the Southern Dynasty scenery to serve as a small school for body training. The genius was slightly bright, so Xiao Yan had already gotten up and came here to exercise. On weekdays, Zhang Xian and Xiao Yan were always fighting each other. Today, Yue Fei was coming in and going back and forth about the expansion of the Shenwu Changsheng Army. Xiao Yan was on a whim and wanted to try the depth of this already famous Yue Wudi, who was already famous, and it turned out to be a slump.
While moving, he watched Yue Fei stand there silently. Xiao Yan smiled and said, "What are you worried about? I am afraid that this Shenwu Changsheng Army will be cheaper if it is trained? Pengju, just don't worry, the effort you spent will never be in vain. I will guarantee that you and that Po Han Wu will hold a foothold in this Shenwu Changsheng Army!"
After Xiao Yan recovered Zhuozhou Yizhou, Tong Guan followed Zhang to report to the military ranks and entered the officialdom with his military merits. At that time, the military official was only a Bingyilang, the eighth rank, and he didn't even have a rank. The dispatch was the deputy Du Yuhou Envoy of the Shenwu Changsheng Army. Bai Jian and Shengjie Army were just loaned to Xiao Yan for use at that time, and the Shenwu Changsheng Army itself had only a few hundred cavalry troops. This dispatch was a little more important.
But now, the Baijia soldiers of the Shengjie Army are almost all in the Shenwu Changsheng Army. Relying on the powerful forces that were large and small in Yan land, plus the large number of captured people in the battle with Xiao Gan. Xiao Yan's light cavalry and heavy cavalry were probably over 6,000 at this time, and it was an unprecedentedly powerful cavalry group. At this moment, the cavalry army had as many as 20 battalions, divided into left and right sides. In addition, the infantry and logistics and baggage workers in the Shenwu Changsheng Army, the Shenwu Changsheng Army had already developed into an armed group of more than 20,000 people. With the deliberate help of the old generation, the equipment was very complete. Although it would take a long time to completely put it together, in the armed system of the Northern Song Dynasty, such a field group was not something that the heavy generals under Xiao Yan, the two members of Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, could be controlled by Xiao Yan!
No matter how you say that Yue Fei and Han Shizhong must have at least one rank guard or above, and be given the title of Yao County and the general manager of the Shenwu Everlasting Army, to be able to legitimately command this Shenwu Everlasting Army. But now Xiao Yan and his Shenwu Everlasting Army are the ones that Tong Guan and his family hate and want to get rid of them. God knows how confident Xiao Yan has in his words to Yue Fei...
Listening to Xiao Yan's words, Yue Fei smiled faintly and did not speak. He accompanied Xiao Yan for a while. Under his training, Xiao Yan was already like he had been fished out of the water. There were still no signs of sweat on Yue Fei's dark and simple face. Xiao Yan himself knew that Yue Fei was not the kind of person who cared too much about fame and fortune.
Now the team under his command is calm on the surface, so he can do whatever he should do. But almost all the same mentality is the same, and everyone seems much silent. Xiao Yan wants to take action and protect him, a group that has just started, and no one has any objection to this. However, as for the means he wants to perform, and to fight against the entire Song Dynasty bureaucratic system, everyone is in a bottomless heart, and maybe he is still asking himself hesitantly, should he be able to stand firmly on Xiao Yan's side?
But what if you don't stand on Xiao Yan's side? Could it be that the achievements of Fu Yan, which were fought to the death, were put into scattering, and that everyone would continue to be suppressed and disintegrated by Tong Guan, when a stronger foreign enemy invaded, collapsed like the Huanqing Army, and even the bones were not allowed to return home? Everyone was a soldier standing on the front line, and they all knew that the 70,000 to 80,000 troops gathered near Yanjing in front of him were the last force of fighting in the Song Dynasty. They could not fight against the remnants of Liao, and the Jurchens could be felt most clearly in Yanyun Land. If Tong Guan was allowed to torture the last force of fighting in the Song Dynasty, then will the Song Dynasty behind him become the Yanjing City with fireworks burning that day?
Since the old generation, these great Song military officials also vaguely felt that the sky was about to change and the world might be in chaos. The so-called great Song Dynasty was so decayed that it could not even organize a war against Yan. From the court to the local government, a scene of collapse, if Xiao Yan had not emerged, God knew what it would have become. At this time, would he give up his strength and fall to the point of being powerless and even being slaughtered?
Perhaps it is also a good choice to follow Xiao Yan and make a fight with Tong Guan to decide the winner and lose. It is also a good choice to protect your own strength! This farce in the War of Defence against Yan, everyone doesn’t want to experience another one!
Xiao Yan understood the mentality of the generals and even the Western Army, so he showed that he didn't care more on his appearance. Eat, sleep, and exercise. He laughed and scolded the same as before. He wanted to make everyone feel that Xiao Yan was confident and was a target to rely on. At least he was not unable to fight back against the trend that came to Bianliang. Let's follow me, Xiao Yan, and I will take the blame anyway.
Seeing Yue Fei just didn't want to speak, Xiao Yan smiled and changed the topic: "Now, the backbone of the Shenwu Changsheng Army is mostly from the Baiye Army and the Shengjie Army. Are they stable?"
This sentence asked Yue Fei to be in charge of the matter, so he had to speak. Yue Fei respectfully crossed his hands and saluted, just like the military proposal in the hall: "Ship Tong Xuan did not mention the matter of returning to the Shengjie Army, and when Wang Taiwei went there, he did not mention it. The Shengjie Army said that this time he was afraid that he would offend the Xuan Ship Xuan, and even if he returned to the Shengjie Army, there would be no good result. Everyone was very at ease. The Baiye soldiers were on the rise and fall. Some time ago, many people were talking about returning to the Xi army.
Everyone was in the Shaanxi ranks. However, the old husband Xuan comforted him once, saying that if there was no Shenwu Ever Victory Army available, everyone would return to the Western Army. Yanyun would have to guard the Western Army. Not everyone would be able to return to the Shaanxi ranks. If the Shenwu Ever Victory Army could stand alone, most of the Western Army still had the possibility of returning to the Shaanxi ranks. Baiye soldiers were in the Shaanxi tribe, and they would still take care of them as before, and they would still be like the children of the Western Army's family. Please rest assured...
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………There are now peace of mind for the Baiye soldiers of the Shengjie Army, and they are focused on training and expanding the camps. As long as the military name of the Shenwu Eternal Victory Army can be established, the names of officials and assistants at all levels will be issued, and another strong army will be added to the Song Dynasty!”
Xiao Yan smiled, it is good news if his camp is stable. The others will be taken one step at a time……
He tied the cloak of Fengyao and waved his hand to Yue Fei: "You and Po Han Wu should pay some thoughts on the matters of the ever-winning military in Shenwu. I'm afraid I can't take care of them all now. At that time, I'm not sure how much effort you have to spend. This army horse must be pulled out and what use it can be! You go first, work hard during this period of time, and settle down in the future. I'll invite everyone."
Yue Fei bowed respectfully again and turned around as Xiao Yan turned around. The young general who had been forcibly calm for a while finally couldn't help but speak, "Xuan Zan, is it really going to be like this? There is no other way?"
Xiao Yan's body shook slightly, stood still, and slowly turned back to look at Yue Fei. Zhang Xian stood beside Xiao Yan, shook his head slightly as he looked at his brother, and signaled Yue Fei not to speak anymore.
Xiao Yan's prior arrangements basically didn't hide anything from Fang Teng, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei's three most useful subordinates. Needless to say, Fang Teng was also one of Xiao Yan's main traders. Han Shizhong sometimes came to Xiao Yan's office to explore the wind, and then smiled and left, looking like he was not concerned about it. Only Yue Fei was always a little confused - if he hadn't been this kind of conflict, he wouldn't be Yue Fei. Anyway, Xiao Yan would never be recalled by the twelve gold medals......
Xiao Yan looked at Yue Fei for a while, his eyes cold. Yue Fei was a little avoided at first, but finally calmed down and faced Xiao Yan's gaze without giving in.
After a while, Xiao Yan suddenly smiled faintly: "Now the nearly 100,000 troops near Yanjing are Pingfans. No matter what they say, they cannot be left behind... We all understand what kind of opponent the Jurchens are. Everything I do is to protect the Song Dynasty behind me, because I know that the Jurchens will ruin a piece of land... So I let it go... Pengju, I promise you something. After the Song Dynasty Pingfans can be safeguarded, I will not support my troops and do the affairs of the vassal states. I will return to Bianliang... Just like that, whether you believe it or not, just like that... I am really exhausted in the Song Dynasty and don't want to explain anything to you."
Yue Fei was silent for a moment and saluted again: "How dare I not believe Xiao Xuanzan's promise? My life is all Xiao Xuanzan. As long as Xiao Xuanzan's words and deeds are consistent, what can I do if I am Yue Fei is an enemy of the world? Xiao Xuanzan, I have more worries and more thoughts, but Xuanzan, don't doubt my Yue Fei's desire to die for Xuanzan!"
These words were said loudly, and Xiao Yan smiled and wanted to walk over and pat Yue Fei on the shoulder. As expected, letting Grandpa Yue be a younger brother is a very long life...... In particular, he was determined to let Grandpa Yue shine even more dazzling than in history!
Alas, how can I choose thankless things to do?
Before he could take a step, he saw a personal guard coming hurriedly and rushing to the ground to salute him. The guard was also Xiao Yan's confidant. He followed Xiao Yan from the north to Baigou to fight the whole audience. He was born and died together and I don't know how many wars he had. It turned out that he had forgotten whether it was the Baiye Army or the Shengjie Army. Anyway, even Xiao Yan couldn't drive him away.
The personal guard lowered his voice: "Xiao Xuanzan, Zhen Liuchen is here!"
Zhen Liuchen is here?
Xiao Yan's heart was shocked. Zhen Liuchen was an important chess piece he set up. Of course, he was very disgraceful and threatened by Guo Rong. This man refused to give up the little mute and Wang Gui that day, so how could he give up the little blood left of his old master?
He did all the important things, and it was Xiao Yan's most unspeakable arrangements. Today, he suddenly came, even if there were any secrets, there was a risk of leaking them. He took such a big risk, what was so amazing?
When Zhang Xian heard the three words Zhen Liuchen, he was by Xiao Yan's side. Yue Fei shook slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and pretended that he hadn't heard it.
In the study room of Xiao Yan's inner courtyard, more than a dozen personal guards were on duty inside and outside the study room, looking here tightly. Everyone's eyes were followed by a strong man in his thirties. This strong man was Zhen Liuchen.
He is also the commander of Fengtian's revival of the Liao army, who is now emerging in the Youyan border.
Although the war in Youyan was settled, there were still all the evils in the former Liao Dynasty. Some were the Khitans of the Xi people, and some were the Po family clans who fled from Yanjing. They were never able to surrender to the Song Dynasty. Xiao Yan and the Western Army only controlled Youyan's heart, and there was also the important retreat between Baigou River and Gaoliang River. In other places, these powerful and old tribes were still allowed to be autonomous. Normally, those who were willing to contribute should try to collect as much as possible, and those who were unwilling to contribute could only go. Anyway, without a name and without a core, these powerful and old tribes could just sweep them in sequence. It was just to spend a little more effort.
But Xiao Yan acted as a dangerous move, and Xiao Gan was already dead and could not die again. After entering Yanjing, he released the news that Guo Yaoshi and Zhao Liangsi had called the so-called rebellion of the old Liao Dynasty, and intended to restore the old Liao Dynasty. In addition to Xiao Gan, he set up a banner that the remnants of the former Liao Dynasty could follow! First, these people gathered together, and then it would be much more convenient to sweep them in one go, and second, he would use this piece to do a lot of important things!
Zhen Liuchen was chosen by him like this.
Zhen Liuchen was not the most suitable candidate. He was not the top general under Guo Yaoshi that day. He lacked fame and the shock caused by the time was not enough, and it might not be able to achieve the effect Xiao Yan hoped. But now there is really no one else in Xiao Yan's bag. Fortunately, Zhen Liuchen has a kind of stupid loyalty that Xiao Yan is a little difficult to understand. Guo Rong can control him well.
In addition to Guo Rong, Xiao Yan also drew a lot of troops from the daily victorious army, and even Yu Jiangyu was sent to Zhen Liuchen. These two aspects were used alternately, and Xiao Yan was still a little confident in controlling Zhen Liuchen.
After being released for more than a month, Zhen Liuchen had a certain momentum with the hundreds of cavalry and a small amount of food, grass and weapons assigned by Xiao Yan. Some old tribes who were unwilling to wait for the Po family under the Song Dynasty came to join in, and now there were seven or eight hundred messy people. Zhen Liuchen had more than a month of fighting. Although his face was even more windy and frosty, he was no longer the down-and-out appearance that was captured by Xiao Yan that day, and his sharp look was restored to the old view. He suddenly realized that he was the fierce general of the Changsheng Army who was the day.
Xiao Yan's study room was filled with exquisite furnishings from the former Liao clans. Zhen Liuchen couldn't understand and had no intention of reading it, but just walked around there with his hands behind his back.
I don’t know how long I waited, but I heard the sound of boots coming from outside the study room. The guards inside and outside the study room stood up straight. Zhen Liuchen also turned around and saw Xiao Yan wearing a light fur-hair that year-old hair was much longer than when he first met in Zhuozhou that day, and he could barely tie it up. He walked over with a smile.
It was this young man who looked harmless and beautiful, and from the beginning, he was a disaster star of the Guo family. In just a few months, it turned out that the ever-winning army had been divided into pieces, and the rest were completely swallowed by him. Guo Yaoshi's family was destroyed and the generals of the ever-winning army were withered. Now he still has to work hard for him to keep Guo Du in charge of the last bit of bones and blood!
Compared to the first meeting in Zhuozhou that day, Xiao Yan's wealth and majesty attitude had increased a lot. Although he still looked easy-going, how dare Zhen Liuchen look up in front of him at this moment? At this time, Zhen Liuchen suppressed his turbulent emotions and bowed deeply: "Xuanzan, good luck, Zhen Liuchen greet him!"
Xiao Yan smiled, ignored him and walked slowly to the middle of the study. The furnishings here were all Hu stools, and according to Xiao Yan's wishes, they also installed a backrest and added a soft pad. If there was more time and more leisure, Xiao Yan might even let the craftsmen in the army see if they could make a sofa.
He just sat down on the bench, crossed his legs and smiled, "Do you miss me?"
Zhen Liuchen was stunned and looked up, not knowing what Xiao Yan was talking about.
Xiao Yan slapped the table next to him: "If you don't miss me, why are you going back rashly? Do you know how deep I hope for you? Zhen Liuchen, you don't have to feel wronged. To be honest, you should lead the army and Ma Tianxia to fight. What do you feel? As long as you can handle the things I have assigned properly, I may not be able to give you a free self and Miss Guo. Maybe you can give you a foundation. The world is so big, so where can you gain a foothold? If you have strong strength in the future, you may not be able to seek revenge on me... You come rashly. If the news leaks out and the big thing is ruined, you have seen my methods!"
For people like Zhen Liuchen, they have to keep beating him, beating him, and showing that they are stronger than him everywhere, so that they can be firmly grasped! However, when Zhen Liuchen, they have to threaten Guo Rong in their words. Xiao Yan felt that it was really bad, and he felt that he was very much like a villain**oss...
Zhen Liuchen yelled, bowing his head and silent. In addition to Guo Rong's safety, Xiao Yan's meaning also captured his mind. From the time of panic, hundreds of people have come to fight against Youyan border, as if the man was in the past was the same as the world. Zhen Liuchen never expected that he had a chance to come back, and this was the life that a man should live! But he also knew that Xiao Yan could give him these things and could take them back at any time. Maybe he fought to the death for him, maybe Xiao Yan could really let him and Guo Rong go after the matter was done?
Seeing Zhen Liuchen surrender, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and waved his hand and said, "Get up... Why are you doing? Report it back and see if it's understandable. If it's an irrelevant little thing, you know it's amazing."
Zhen Liuchen slowly stood up and took a breath: "I am lucky enough to capture one person. It is an important person, and it is the one who can win it so quickly... I am brave enough to be with the eldest lady first to see if the eldest lady is safe."
Xiao Yan looked at him coldly, without saying a word. He naturally knew that Zhen Liuchen brought a person over, seven or eight people were closely guarding him, tied him tightly, and wearing a headband. He sent signals through the inside line arranged by Yu Jiang and secretly connected to his yamen office in Yanjing City. From beginning to end, he looked like he was facing a great enemy. He was also curious about who Zhen Liuchen brought over, and he could still talk to him about conditions with this person who didn't know his identity!
Zhen Liuchen gritted his teeth and continued: "I am born and die, and I dare not have any intention of Xuan Zan. But I ask Xuan Zan to be poor Guo Du is in charge of half a lifetime hero, and only this little blood is left. No matter what Guo Du is in charge of Xuan Zan, the eldest lady has never had any malicious intentions towards Xuan Zan. My subordinates only want to take a look at the eldest lady's well, so they will turn around and leave. Xuan Zan has something to do, and even if his subordinate loses his life, it will be fine......Xuan Zan's hero must not be embarrassed by a poor girl like the eldest lady..."
When Guo Rong was raised, Xiao Yan felt a sudden thrust in his heart. He had just traveled through the troubled times. The two of them depended on each other and naturally could not be separated. They were the support of each other when they were most depressed. And Guo Rong, what was she?
She used to be a heroic girl who dared to love and hate. She dared to fall into your heart for no reason. In addition, the grudges and entanglements in troubled times, living and dying together may be a normal thing to move yourself?
But there are some things that I can't fight against this thief......
He sat there, letting Zhen Liuchen speak less and less until he finally shut up. The study was quiet. I don’t know how long it took. Xiao Yan said coldly: “After my big deal, you will leave. I won’t kill you. I wanted to see you before, but it won’t work. Your eldest lady hates me to the core and can’t give you a chance to cause trouble……It would be a pity if I force me to kill you.”
Zhang Xian, who was standing outside the study listening to Xiao Yan's cold words, closed his eyes and opened his eyes. This little white face was delicate and followed Xiao Yan, how could he not know the little entanglement between Xiao Yan and Guo Rong? But now it is useless to say anything. Xiao Xuanzan has to force himself to become another person in terms of this matter...
After a look with Xiao Yan, Zhen Liuchen finally gave in. He whispered: "I will bring that character up... I didn't have the capital to talk to Xuanzan to the conditions."
Xiao Yan smiled: "It's good that you know, I hope you won't forget it in the future."
Soon, several guards came in surrounded by a strongly tied man. As soon as they entered the study, they took off his hood. The grown man's face was covered with a messy beard. When he first saw the sky light, he squinted his eyes and blocked the light with his hands.
Chapter completed!
