When Xiao Tang, Wu Song and the others got up and looked back, they saw that seven or eight Song generals had already walked not far from them, and the general headed by them was about forty years old.

Is this person Liu Fa, the famous general who called Xia Ren's famous color change? Xiao Tang thought in his heart, so he stepped forward and saluted, saying: "It's better to be famous than to meet, and it's better to meet than to be famous." The younger generation Xiao Tang has heard the prestige of the natural god general for a long time, and it is a great honor to finally visit General Liu today. ”

Liu Fa smiled slightly and said: "Xiao Jieshuai, if you want to talk about official dispatch, my martial rank position is just the Marquis of Yu Yu, the commander of the soldiers and horses of the Yanyan Road and the commander of the three yama military divisions. So it's better to follow what Wudutou said, and we don't have to be polite. ”

Although Liu Fa is casually joking, Xiao Tang has also heard some rumors about Liu Fa, it is said that his accumulation of military exploits as early as a few years ago was named the Xihe Jinglu pacification envoy, which is very different from Xiao Tang's unusually promoted Jingnan Road pacification envoy, and the characters who do a strategy in the northwest border are all like old and small races, as well as heavyweights such as Xiang Tongguan, who have a respected status in the army and can really hold military power in their hands. If Liu Fa made some tricks and tricks, he could not become the head of the control of the military power of the Western Army, and Liu Fa did not like sycophancy, and had the arrogance of an iron-blooded soldier. But this Liu Fa is even more like no one, he should bring his soldiers and bring his soldiers, and he should fight his battles and fight his battles, due to the frequent wars in the Song and Xia, the Privy Council had no choice but to restore some of his official duties.

So now when it comes to martial arts, Liu Fa, who is only in charge of the official affairs of sending troops and horses to the Yanyan Road Forbidden Army, is no different from the Taoist and the scholars in the Western Army.

Xiao Tang naturally admired such a famous general who was very stylish and famous in the side court with his military exploits, he shook his head slowly, and said: "The younger generation is just lucky to be appreciated by the official family, so he has to be reused and promoted, how dare he be held up in front of General Liu?" ”

Liu Fa breathed a long sigh of relief, and said leisurely: "Sent by the Bianjing court, I have seen many courtiers who are favored by the official family, but Xiao Jieshuai is still the first ......to fight bloody battles with his subordinates and advance and retreat together."

Liu Fa groaned, and then looked at Wu Song's side, he looked up and down at Wu Song, who was shirtless, strong bones, and majestic, nodded again, and said in a loud voice: "You are Wu Song?" Good, good. I have done some investigation, only to know that you must be the first to die in battle when you were defending the border court in the past, and there is such a good man who is brave and good at fighting and not afraid of death in the military division of Yanyan Road, but he cannot be reused, but it is my dereliction of duty. That is, there are thieves rampant in the eyes, and summer thieves covet them outside, and the country is the time to employ people. ”

Wu Song fought bravely and unstoppably, and now he taught Liu Fa to know about it, and the love for him was not on Xiao Tang's face. And Wu Song, who was probably just a low-level military attache with the rank of company commander in the local military department, would not be rude in front of Liu Fa, a famous general at the level of commander of the front armies in various parts of the Kansai region, and he immediately hugged his fists and thanked Liu Fa.

It's just that Wu Song suddenly had a thought in his heart, if the senior officials in the military department seem to be a meritocracy like Liu Fa, and they are willing to sympathize with and promote the Xingwu Erlang who is willing to throw their heads and spill their blood for the country, why should they vote for the Green Forest Cottage under the command of the Xiao Tang brothers, and become a strongman leader upside down?

After the post-war count, the battle of Huyan Mountain annihilated about 9,000 people from the party departments, captured about 6,000 people, and captured a large number of horses for military use. Although the leaders of the party departments were not dispatched by the Xia State government, nor were they killed with the elite troops of the regular army of the Xia people, compared to Liu Fa's battle against the main army of the Western Xia in Huizhou, after breaking the enemy in a battle, he pursued more than 400 miles across the desert and captured more than 10,000 people of the Western Xia army.

Subsequently, the generals of Xiao Tang's various departments and Liu Fa and other generals of the Western Army gathered in Taiyuan Mansion to be recommended by Liu Fa, and Xiao Tang also got acquainted with Miao Lu, the son of Miao Zhu, the general of the Western Army, and Kang Jiong, Zhu Dingguo, and other generals of the Western Army under Liu Fa. And Wang Huan, Han Cunbao, who had also accumulated military exploits in the Western Army, turned out to be old acquaintances with Liu Fa, and Xiao Tang also found that these two seniors in the army, who became famous in the previous dynasty, were very respectful in their words and deeds when they recounted with Liu Fa, as if Liu Fa was an old official. Even Yao Pingzhong, the rising star of the Sanyuan Yao clan, who has always had a somewhat complicated attitude towards the two types and the main generals of the Western Army of Liu Fa's faction, did not dare to show the slightest rudeness in front of Liu Fa.

There are three kinds of grandparents in charge of the Western Army, although they are highly respected in the military departments of the Kansai region, they have been able to teach the ancestors from the time they first joined the army. There is no need to fight the enemy in person on the front line like a low-level military attaché, but Liu Fa has been in and out of the corpse mountain and sea of blood countless times in the past 20 years, and his official rank has been promoted all the way from the team leader, deputy general, commander, and pro-army commander...... Only today has such an achievement, so although the status of the seed master and the seed master is respected in the eyes of the generals of the Western Army, if it is more supported and loved by the soldiers of the three armies, Liu Fa can even beat the old and small breeds.

It's just that Liu Fa is more like a pure soldier, and he will never deliberately slap in with those ministers in Bianjing who are leaning towards the government and the opposition. The relationship between the Kansai generals such as the Chong clan, the Zhe clan, and the Yao clan sometimes support each other, and sometimes compete with each other, and now there is a Tong Guan who intends to control the military power, and the generals headed by Liu Fa are obviously more inclined to support the way of the master and the teacher, so it is not surprising that this famous general in the border court with a very high status in the Western Army is a henchman who wants to get rid of it in the eyes of Tong Guan at this time.

"Song Xia used troops to wield troops to the west, Xihe Marshal Liu Fa and his army were annihilated, and the perpetrators were guilty of violating the festival" Reminiscent ......of Liu Fa being coerced and coerced by Tong Guan, this natural god who won a hundred battles and shocked the west will be killed in an ambush knowing that there is almost no chance of victory, but Tong Guan reported to Zhao Ji for his success, and said that the defeat of this battle was all due to Liu Fa's violation of his moderation and the defeat of the army, Xiao Tang probably guessed that Tong Guan may have had the intention of murdering Liu Fa by now.

"According to the instructions of Marshal Xiao Jie, a few loose Xia people were selected to stay for questioning, and the rest of the prisoners of war did not ask about their origins, did not interrogate, and did not leave a living mouth.

When Xiao Tang was thinking about it, he heard Liu Fa say leisurely: "Song and Xia have been killing each other for decades, and the new hatred and old hatred have long been as deep as the sea. Now there are still summer thieves who have accumulated great evils and escaped for a while, Xiao Jieshuai, we must also make another deployment as soon as possible to eradicate the enemy chieftain and Liukou. ”
