[Second Update.] 】

With the arrival of Han Gang, the two armies of Li Xian and Zhi Kexing have already met in Shengzhou, that is, the old Fengzhou. The defense system on the front line of Qu Yechuan has also become more and more solid. If there are more than 40,000 soldiers and horses sitting here all year round, it doesn't matter whether there is a strong fortress or not, but it is a pity that the consumption of food and grass for men and horses makes 40,000 soldiers and horses not stay for long.

Also trapped in food and grass are the Montenegrin party members who were forced to leave their hometowns. On the hundreds of miles of road through the desert, because of the lack of adequate food rations, all the party departments in Montenegro were killed and wounded. The remnants of grass under the snow were eaten up by the tribal horses that had passed by. From the news that Tanma came to Shengzhou, it can be known that the number of people who died in the desert was counted in the hundreds, and a large part of these dead were the result of cannibalism and competition for food.

"Who let them lure the wolf into the house and did not resist. You can't live if you do your own iniquity......"

"Wasn't that exactly what Shi Jin was like back then!? Yelu Deguang was rampant in Kaifeng City for a while, but when he met Hebei Xiongjie, he killed Hu Lin violently! ”

"According to Long Tu's instructions, for the Montenegrin party that came to attack, the first thing is to attack the heart, and now there are seventeen people who are willing to persuade them to surrender on behalf of the imperial court. In general, convincing them is not a problem. But just in case, be prepared to do it. ”

"It's a good thing for anyone that stupid to die. …… Thinking about the benefits, if the Liao army goes south and wants to make a detour from the desert, it will also be a result. ”

"There is no place to hit the grass valley, and if you want to go south through the desert for hundreds of miles, it is great to have two or three thousand."

"At that time, it would be a pleasure to kill!"

Han Gang, who presided over the military meeting, had not yet arrived, and only Li Xian and Zhi Kexing were waiting in the main hall with their generals.

The two lords have a sentence of irrelevant gossip. Even with the special status of the Zhe family, Zhe Kexing is unwilling to offend Li Xian, a big mink who holds military power. And Li Xian will not deliberately get along with Zheke. Since Han Gang came to sit in Shengzhou, his attitude was there, causing discord in the army, and it was nothing to offend the feudal town of the Zhe family, and if he offended Han Gang together, it would be a big loss.

The above two can still leave a face and have not torn their faces, but the generals below have not said a word to each other, and they don't even have eye contact. The atmosphere in the hall was like a taut bowstring, and it became tighter and tighter, and suddenly it became sinister.

The Linfu Army, which is too colorful, is an outlier in the Hedong Army. When the Linfu Terracotta Division was first established, it was originally for the purpose of monitoring the Fuzhou Zhejia and the Fengzhou Wang family, which was different from the private army before the Zhejia. But after the establishment of the Western Xia state, in the process of resisting Yuan Hao's invasion, not only Fengzhou fell, Fuzhou was divided, but the Linfu Soldiers and Horses Division was also extremely frustrated, and had to start absorbing local soldiers to replenish, so that the Zhe family reached into this army that was supposed to monitor them. Most of the officers at the bottom are inseparable from the Folded family.

To this day, the imperial court has almost acquiesced in the influence of the Zhi family on the Linfu army, although the appointment and dismissal of the main generals are still handled by the imperial court, but when they are actually called, they are often assigned to the command of the Zhi family.

Now that the Linfu army has achieved great success alone, it is not surprising that it has aroused the jealousy of the Hedong army. Although there were many rewards for the great victory of Jialuchuan, Li Xian led people to the north, but he deliberately selected a few soldiers and horses who did not make any contributions in the great victory of Jialuchuan. It's the manager's job to share the credit. If you are too partial to someone, you will be in trouble when you lead the troops in the future.

Western Xia is dead, and now the war has come to an end, and the first battle of Shengzhou has begun. The soldiers and horses of the Hedong Army, who are now following Li Xian, are all working hard to earn a credit at the last moment. There are only two families left in the Liao and Song dynasties, if they are based on the alliance of the Yuanyuan, and there will be no war for another 70 years, then when it comes to the children and grandchildren, won't they have to eat bran vegetables to live?

The veteran generals all know that after the alliance of the Yuanyuan and before Yuan Hao raised the army, what kind of treatment did the generals and colonels of the army get in the past few decades? How arrogant are the civil officials who are in charge of the distribution of the Yulu when facing the martial arts?! The old man who had been in the army for a longer time still remembers it clearly.

The unbearable restlessness in the hearts of every general of the Hedong Army, sealing his wife and son is not an honor, but a top priority!

"Skimmed!" A loud announcement came from outside the door. The guard guarding the door reminded the hall of the arrival of Han Gang, the envoy of Hedong Road.

The conversation between Li Xian and Zhi Kexing immediately stopped, and the atmosphere in the tent changed suddenly. Under the leadership of the two main generals, Qi Shushu stood up and waited for Han Gang to ascend to the account.

Stepping into the hall, Li Xian and Zhi Kexing led the crowd to salute. Han Gang didn't squint, walked straight to the main seat in the hall, turned around and sat down.

Zhi Keshi and Huang Sheng led a few staff members to follow Han Gang into the door, but the two did not take another step inside, but stood in front of the bottom two empty chairs. The rest of the staff, who had not yet received official status, stood on the walls of the halls on either side, and only one person walked to the corner, where there were several bills for him to record the conversations and resolutions of the military council.

The generals in the tent stood solemnly like pines after saluting, and the birds were silent.

It's not a promotion when you are going to do it, and you don't need too cumbersome etiquette. Han Gang swept his eyes around, and when he saw that everyone was respectful, he said one word, "Sit." ”

After a loud bang, the hall fell silent again. Everyone held their breath and waited quietly for Han Gang to speak.

Han Gang didn't have an appetite for people and got straight to the point. glanced at Zhe Kexing: "The old Fengzhou is occupied, and the imperial court has also given Shengzhou one." Shengzhou has been restored, and it is really a good way for you to lead the army. ”

Zhi Kexing immediately got up and arched his hand: "The last general is ashamed, this is the work of the generals under the account of the last general." ”

Han Gang nodded, "If you obey the Tao and be too humble, the imperial court will soon be rewarded for meritorious service." ”

The generals of the Linfu Army suddenly had joy on their faces, and the word merit and reward had always been the favorite words of the generals.

Han Gang glanced at the Hedong generals who were unconvinced, "But you are all old in using soldiers, you should know that the road has always been easy to capture the city, but it is difficult to gain a foothold." It was not easy to retake the old Toyoshu. However, it is still a little easier than beating back the ambitions of the northern captives and keeping the land of Shengzhou. That's why Li Jingzhi led the army to the north and worked together to defend Fengzhou. ”

Just in the seat, Li Xian owed. The faces of the generals in Hedong also improved a lot.

After some opening remarks, Han Gang said to the generals: "Presumably the current situation doesn't need to be said by Ben Shuai, right?" ”

"The last will understand." "Li Xian understands."

Li Xian, Zhi Kexing and the generals nodded for a while.

Han Gang made a gesture to Lu Xia, and Huang Sheng immediately stood up knowingly: "The recent increase in the number of Montenegrin parties going south is not normal, and it is more than twice as many as expected. It was obvious that the Liao people were treacherous, and even the tribes that had thrown themselves into them and let them go straight to Xingling were also driven south. It is very likely that Xiao Shisan, who presided over Xijing by the Liao people, was planning to use this group of party members to upset Shengzhou. ”

This can be regarded as a summary of the recent situation, and it is also a speculation on the actions of the Liao, which is basically the same as the judgment of the generals present, and no one has come forward to raise objections.

Seeing that no one objected, the caliber had been set in advance, and Zhi Keshi went on to say: "If this is the case, it can be seen that the Liao people have no intention of tearing their faces. Therefore, he could only borrow the hand of the Montenegrin party, and at most he could only disguise himself as a party member and cause some trouble to the officials and soldiers. ”

Han Gang sighed lightly: "Sneaky, not the climate." The Khitan people really responded to a common saying, weasel and rat, generation is not as good as generation. ”

Han Gang said harshly, which immediately caused a burst of laughter in the hall.

However, Han Gang didn't smile: "Yelu Abaoji saw that most of the Liao Kingdom was not sleeping well in the grave now. The thief who steals the country is not the lord of the country, and Yelu Yixin is still a little worse after all. remembers that the leather room army he sent to rescue the western thieves back then was also hidden. When you are about to go into battle, you don't dare, you only dare to pick up the cheap. ”

Han Gang directly referred to the name of Liao Taizu, and it was clear that he had not regarded Liao as a country on an equal footing with the Great Song Dynasty. But in this hall, it is impossible for anyone to stand up and accuse. On the contrary, when he spoke to Han Gang, he felt very happy.

They all contributed to the summer campaign, and they were made fishermen by Yelu Yixin, and they didn't feel comfortable in any of them. When he heard Han Gang belittled the Liao people, he felt that he had spoken to his heart.

"Long Tu said yes."

"Long Tu is right."

"Exactly! Precisely! ”

echoed one by one, so that several veteran generals and schools were not easy to speak. Li Xian and Zhi Kexing both looked at Han Gang with some puzzlement, not knowing what the intention was to belittle the Liao people in this way.

Li Xian frowned slightly, and was about to cool down the overheated atmosphere, but Han Gang took a step forward and spoke: "The Liao people are so willing to fall, their combat power can be imagined...... Guys, no one thinks there are too many beheadings, right?! ”

The generals were even more excited: "No! "Of course not!" "Thousands of the best!"

The mood of the generals and colonels in the hall was stirred up, and Zhi Kexing stood up and tried to suppress the overheated atmosphere: "The Montenegrin party that can escape south is mainly strong, but none of the 61 clans that have been resettled recently are completely composed of strong men, and there are more or less some old and weak women and children. If it is purely composed of Ding Zhuang, it must be impersonated by the Liao people or the party tribes who obey his orders. ”

"No, as long as you refuse to obey orders, or there is some prevarication, whether it is a Liao or a Montenegrin party under its command, you will be killed. There is no extra energy to distinguish them at the moment. "Han Gang is murderous, he is used to betraying the Montenegrin party, if the number is small, it is no problem to take it in, but if there are too many, it will be troublesome. The land of Shengzhou, but the key place, how can it be placed in their hands?

Squinted his eyes and glanced at the tent again, "No one thinks that decapitation is too much, right?!" ”

The generals' eyes sparkled, and they howled like wolves, "Of course not!" ”
