Twilight is falling.

The last ray of sunlight disappeared under the mountains to the west, and the clouds on the horizon faded red. The large army from the north had already arrived outside the Liufachuan camp, and the Song army in the village did not react at all.

Through the outermost layer of a heavy fence, you can only see a fiery red inside the village, and the red reflects the ice and snow all over the mountain are glowing with blood.

Shouting, shouting, with the night wind, came out of the firelight. Along with the billowing smoke, it rolled up to the tip of the ear and nose.

"Steward." The general below shouted at Luo Hannu, "It must be the internal response arranged by Xiao Shumi!" ”

The sound of wind and fire and the sound of killing rose together, looking at the Song army camp shrouded in red light, the flames were also burning in the eyes of Yelu Luohannu.

The hand that tugged at the reins of the horse, clenched tightly, loosened again, but immediately clenched again. His throat seemed to be grilled by flames, and his mouth was dry, making him lick his lips incessantly.

In the camp of the Song army in civil strife, the outer defense line was completely unguarded. In the eyes of Jerurohanu, it was as weak as paper. It seems that as long as you stretch out your hand, you can tear it to pieces.

Capture the camp of the Song people, the credit or something, Yelu Luohannu is not interested, and the Song and Liao families have not torn their faces, and it is impossible to give a public reward. But the Song people's weapons and armor, whether it was a divine arm bow, a horse chopping sword, or plate armor, were a great wealth. can equip their own clan soldiers, even the palace guards have to be inferior by three points.

The camp of the Song army was in such a chaotic state, taking advantage of the current chaos to attack it, Yelu Luohan Nu was seventy or eighty percent sure, and he could retreat after taking advantage of it. The remaining two or three percent are less advantageous, but they can still get out of the way.

The hand that held the reins of the horse loosened, and then he lifted the spear in front of the saddle.

"Sons, are you all ready?!"

Yelu Luohannu shouted violently, and a cheer sounded below, spreading out in circles from near to far. Outside the camp of the Song people, they couldn't bear it anymore. It's so lively inside, there's no reason not to have fun.

The spear was raised high, lightly drew a circle, and pointed at the blazing fire in front of him: "Then kill it!! ”

……………………

"Where does Xiao Thirteen want to fight?" Liu Fachuan and Nuan Quanfeng reported the emergency military situation of the approaching Liao army at the same time, which gave Li Xian a headache.

The strength of the Liao army in Dongshengzhou is similar to the difference between the strength of the officers and troops in Shengzhou Zhuzhai Fort, and it is impossible to really divide the troops and attack two military villages at the same time. It is possible to pick only one of them for the real purpose, and the other for cover.

"Liu Fachuan has the internal response of the Liao people, and it should be Xiao Shisan's purpose. But on the road of Nuanquan Peak, there are more troops that can be used. Moreover, most of the walled city of Nuanquan Peak has not been completed, and it is not as good as the progress of Liufachuan. ”

"No need to guess." Han Gang slowly flipped through the manuscript in his hand, calming down, "Come and kill one by one, keep both sides, let him have a thousand plans, and don't think there is room for use." ”

Han Gang has been very idle these days. A plan has been drawn up, a preparatory plan has been made, so that every general and official has a comprehensive understanding of the overall situation, when the Liao people attack, there is no need to be nervous at all, and there is no need to be in a hurry, it is enough to do it according to the established plan.

"Long Tu said yes."

Li Xian only felt that Han Gang's murderous nature was getting heavier and heavier, but his temperament was becoming more and more stable.

But it can't be wrong to say this, no matter what tricks the Liao people have, as long as they can't capture the walled city, then any calculation will have no effect. Breaking it with force was originally the nemesis of all strategies. At present, the official army is in the position of guarding, and even if the Liao people are good at fighting, they cannot break through the hastily established defense line.

There was no better way, and there was no updated news, Li Xian temporarily put down his mind and paid attention to Han Gang's actions: "What kind of book is Long Tu reading?" I haven't been able to release the book for the past two days, and it seems that I have read this one. ”

"It's Jiayue's manuscript." Han Gang said, raising the book in his hand, the obvious manuscript, and even the title of the book on the cover was inscribed casually.

Li Xian didn't see the cover clearly, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it a new collection of poems by Xianggong Jiefu?!" ”

"It's not." Han Gang shook his head: "It's a new book on exegesis. A few years ago, I heard that it was almost written, but because of the complexity of state affairs, there was no time to revise it. It wasn't until I returned to Jinling that I had free time. Now it's finally finalized, and someone sent it over. ”

"Exegesis is the foundation of scripture. The three classics of the new righteousness of the Jiefu Xianggong were passed on when the Han Dynasty was washed away, and now as soon as the new book comes out, "Erya" and "Dialects" also have to let it go. ”

"Yes, if it is published in the world, the momentum of Xinxue will reach another level. But ......" Han Gang smiled, but didn't continue.

"......" Li Xian opened his mouth, and finally remembered that Han Gang was not only a capable minister who was well versed in military affairs, but also the core of the world's first academic school, and a Confucian who wanted to carry forward Qi learning. Although Han Gang and the former prime minister are related to Weng's son-in-law, the two belong to different schools of thought, and they compete with each other academically. Han Gang's previous official position had been suppressed by Wang Anshi because of the dispute between schools, but it had been secretly circulating in the capital.

Thinking of Han Gang's taboo, where did Li Xian dare to take this topic.

Han Gang smiled when he saw Li Xian's expression change.

This manuscript was copied by Wang Bian, but several of them were written by Wang Anshi himself. Write a letter to ask Han Gang to axe. It can be seen that academically, Wang Anshi did not regard Han Gang as his son-in-law. But from the Chinese characters in the preface, it shows that Wang Anshi is very confident in this book - 'Yong is not the general of the heavens, Xing Siwenye, but Yu praises it?' 'Isn't it that Heaven will Xingsven, and I will cause it?' Incredible self-confidence.

Wang Anshi's purpose in writing this book should be to contribute to the new learning. It makes the position of the new school more solid.

Since Zhang Zai's death and Cheng Yi's lecture in Guanzhong, the dispute over Confucian orthodoxy has now entered a white heat. However, Xinxue relies on authority and has always been high, and as long as you want to be admitted to Jinshi, you must learn Xinxue. In Guozijian, the scholars who were trained with Xinxue as the teaching material walked into the court in batches, and that efficiency was by no means comparable to the few staff members recommended by Han Gang on the Hedong side.

However, Xinxue's position is maintained by power, and Han Gang is not worried, it will be a matter of time before he subverts his current position. The real opponent is Ercheng. The science that has been passed down through the ages is from Ercheng.

When the state is over, there will be a period of peace on the border. At that time, it is time to put more effort into the serious business.

Now I have to reply to Wang Anshi, there are many places in this new book that Han Gang can hardly agree with. But exegesis is a university question, Han Gang's level is not high, and it can even be said to be low, how to argue with Wang Anshi, who is good at quoting scriptures, has to think about it a lot.

As for the current battle situation between Yanagifa River and Nuanquan Peak...... Han Gang looked up at the beams and rafters, and if they couldn't collapse, they didn't have to worry about it at all.

……………………

Fires erupted on three sides, and the raging flames rose several feet high, melting the power of gold and stone.

The smoke enveloped the camp where the coolies lived, and it was so smoked that people could not open their eyes, but after a gust of wind, the melting snow was catalyzed by the flames, and the mist was immediately filled again.

At the lowest point in the camp, the wood, grass and charcoal flames around the coolie camp were blazing, and the flames were steaming, and the hot and humid air filled the surroundings, making the winter nights feel like the height of summer.

In the scorching flames, Xiao Haili gritted his teeth tightly, and the hot smoke and water mist made his chest ache hot.

It would be nice if the Song people's sentinels could find reinforcements later, and the eyes that flew in the sky discovered the attack of the Great Liao Iron Cavalry twenty miles away. This made him afraid to start at once, and it was not until everyone was driven back to the camp where the coolies lived, and the sound of thunderous hooves could be heard through the camp in the valley.

It was surrounded by a sea of fire, and on the remaining side was a fence. With the Song people's harsh treatment of the party coolies, it was not too much to set up a fence around the coolie camp. But the fence was too strong, and when they were locked up in the coolie camp, the Song people took away any sharp weapons.

Fortunately, Xiao Haili still managed to hide seven or eight axes used in work, and there were also party members who thought the same way as him, and they also secretly hid several tools. It's just that when they organized people to chop down the fence, the Song army that intercepted them immediately attacked with a flying arrow.

After paying dozens of lives, Xiao Haili finally determined that if he couldn't gather everyone's strength, it would be impossible to break out of the gang.

He had already gathered his family members to his side, and when he greeted his subordinates, he gave up the half-baked party language and changed back to Khitan dialect. It's all this time, and it's impossible to hide it anymore.

Four people died, more than twenty people were sick, and less than three hundred were numbered. However, among the 3,000 party coolies, it accounts for nearly one-tenth, which is already a force that people dare not take lightly. In addition, he had a common enemy, and when he revealed his identity and recruited the chieftains of the various Montenegrin factions in the battalion, no one dared to attack his identity.

"As long as you listen to my commands, when you go back, I will ask my father and the privy councillor to arrange for you to go to the pastures of the west of the divination. Will you work here with the Song people until you die, or are you willing to go back to occupy the land of the West and Divination?! ”

Under the imminent crisis, he grasped the thoughts of the Montenegrin party that desperately wanted to get out of the sea of suffering, and Xiao Haili easily used completely unfounded promises to make everyone obey him. At this time, it was a straw woven by lies, and the Montenegrin party members were willing to hold on to it.

With a common command, the escape was immediately in order. Holding wooden planks as shields, they supported each other to dismantle the outer fence. Most of the arrows from the Divine Arm Bow hit the planks, the sturdy fence was chopped with sawdust flying, and everything went well.

It's just that Xiao Haili's heart is full of alarms, just behind the Song people who are blocking them, obviously no one is making trouble, but there is a lot of chaos. There were less than 100 people playing trumpets and beating drums in the camp, but the momentum of the noise seemed to be as if the entire camp had fallen into chaos......

The familiar sound of the military horn sounded from outside the camp, it was the marching horn of the Daliao Iron Cavalry. One after another sounded in the mountains and fields outside the village, just listening to the sound of the horn, you can know that thousands of troops and horses are coming.

Like lightning flashing in his mind, Xiao Haili suddenly realized that he shouted in horror: "This is a trap!" ”
