After a while, Wu Li rushed over and looked at Xu Tianyi...... Xu Tianyi smiled and said, "Please also ask Brother Deng to get off the horse and follow me." ”

So the two dismounted, walked for a while, and came to a large tent, and waited for a while, and heard the guard's call, and then they entered. After entering the big tent, Deng Yun saw the old man sitting on the first seat, with a kind face and a short figure, and his face couldn't help but change slightly, as if he didn't expect such an ordinary old man to be the big thief Tong Guan who covered the sky with one hand in the imperial court.

"Presumptuous~! When you see Lord Taiwei, why don't you kneel down and say goodbye!? There was a fierce general in Tong Guan, but now he was glaring at Deng Yun and shouting at Deng Yun.

Deng Yun frowned, but at this time, Tong Guan smiled, waved his hand and said, "There is no need to worry about etiquette." Young man, are you Zhou Dong's apprentice, Deng Yun, the leader of the death squad? ”

At this time, Xu Tianyi also silently stepped aside, staring at Deng Yun with fierce eyes. Deng Yun's face was dignified, and after bowing down, Fang replied: "Meet Lord Taiwei, Deng is exact." ”

"Good! The old man heard that you have done a lot of good things, and you can be regarded as raising your eyebrows for my Great Song. The old man admires you very much, so he gives you a big reward as an encouragement, are you satisfied? ”

Tong Guan said slowly, like an old gentleman who told a story. Deng Yun originally felt that this person was different from what he thought in his impression, but in these words, he had already heard some flavors, so he replied with a deep face.

"The gift of the imperial court, I am grateful."

Deng Yun answered very skillfully, his words were concise, coupled with that decent and frank demeanor, Tong Guan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard it, and his eyes were a little more fierce. The face of the fierce general at the bottom of the stairs changed, and Benyu shouted, but he heard Tong Guan say first: "Haha! What you said is very true, under this world, there is no gift from the court! The old man has today's glory, and it is also the grace of the court, you are young, you can see through these, the old man is really gratified! Then you have to work harder to serve the country, don't let down the court!! ”

Tong Guan said Zuihou, and his voice couldn't help but increase a little. Xu Tianyi, who was behind Deng Yun, was sneering non-stop, and secretly paid another ignorant person who toasted and didn't eat, and ate and punished for drinking! Now the imperial court is basically controlled by the old Bodhisattva and Cai Xiang and other ministers, in other words, the representative of the old Bodhisattva is the imperial court! If this Deng Yun knew that it would be good to be grateful to the old Bodhisattva, but he didn't know the reason, so he went to anger the old Bodhisattva, he really didn't know what to do!

Xu Tianyi was thinking about it, and when he saw Deng Yun bowing slightly, he replied respectfully: "Taiwei's teachings, the last general must be kept in mind!" ”

"Hmph~" Tong Guan let out two sneers in his nose, the pair of old eyes narrowed into two thin slits, although it was still the same smiling face, but the tone had changed, with a bit of yin Shen taste, and said: "Okay." The old man is looking forward to your performance! Now that the war in Yanshan is difficult, the old man summoned you to come, hoping that you will be able to break the deadlock by waiting for these bloody children. Thinking about it again, there is Han Shizhong as the leader, the old man expects that this time it must be nine out of ten, what do you think~? ”

Deng Yun's face tightened, and he replied in a deep voice: "The things on the battlefield are changing rapidly. The last general will not dare to make a big statement, but he will be smeared with liver and brain, and he will be deadly! ”

Tong Guan's eyes suddenly opened when he heard this, and two rays of light burst out, and he said, "Hahahaha~!" Okay, good~!! With your words, the old man is relieved~! ”

Tong Guan applauded continuously, moody, Deng Yun was very uncomfortable to listen to, and there was a hint of foreboding in his heart. Then Tong Guan just talked to Deng Yun about it, and then asked Xu Tianyi to lead Deng Yun out of the account.

Deng Yun then bowed and walked out, and after the two of them came out of the tent, they walked a distance to the place where the horses were originally placed. Deng Yun got on the horse, and at this time, Xu Tianyi looked over, looked at Deng Yun with a little more disdain, and said with a smile: "Brother can be so appreciated by Lord Taiwei, I hope you will work harder, don't live up to his old man's high expectations!" ”

Deng Yun heard the sarcasm in Xu Tianyi's tone, and he didn't bother to bother with him, so he arched his hand and left. When Xu Tian saw Deng Yun being so rude, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "I thought it was a character, but it turned out to be just a barbaric and reckless man, don't be worried!" ”

It turned out that as soon as Xu Tian heard that Tong Guan had the intention of accepting Deng Yun for use, he secretly regarded him as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.

At dusk, the wind hit his face, and the gusts of wind and sand hit him, and Deng Yun's heart couldn't help but be a little confused. He thought a lot about it along the way, and from the moment he saw the sergeant in Zhongyāng Dazhai just now, his heart began to be confused. These soldiers were all children, brothers, fathers, and uncles of the common people, and they were all children of the Great Song Dynasty. But their future is worrying, and their fate is caught in the hands of big thieves like Tong Guan. Or maybe they see this, and so they all seem so homesick and sad. Or he thinks that he is more auspicious and less lucky, and his life is difficult to protect, and he wants to see his relatives in Zaijian's family.

That's 200,000 lives! But now that the army's morale is in turmoil, those important generals in the army led by Tong Guan are still intriguing and don't know how to stabilize the army's heart. No wonder it caused the terrible tragedy in history.

Deng Yun faintly still has some memories, according to the development of history, soon Ye Luchun will die of illness, and his wife Xiao Puxian will be the queen mother, and Xiao Gan will be the dictatorship of the northern privy council. Soon, Guo Yaoshi would surrender to the Song Dynasty, and Empress Xiao was caught off guard by Guo's rebellion and had to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, which had a chance to breathe.

After the imperial court received the surrender of Northern Liao, Zhao Ji thought that the recovery of Yanjing was imminent, and did not appease the Liao, but urged Tong Guan and Liu Yanqing to march as soon as possible. Liu Yanqing adopted Guo Yaoshi's advice, and while Xiao Gan's main force was still dealing with the Jin people, he raided Yanjing with light cavalry to obtain the response of the Han people in the city to obtain Yanjing.

Later, as Guo Yaoshi expected, the Song army successfully attacked and obtained Yanjing. At this critical moment, the Song generals in the city not only did not appease the people in the city, but killed the Liao people in the city. At the same time, the discipline of the Song soldiers was disordered, and they drank and robbed everywhere, killed people and set fires, which caused a strong resistance from the Liao people in the city, and Empress Xiao also ordered Xiao Gan to rush back to help. The Liao people in the city hated the Song army very much, each went forward and succeeded, the Song army fought hard for three days and nights, there were no reinforcements outside, countless casualties, and then had to withdraw from Yanjing, but they were intercepted and killed by Xiao Gan's soldiers and horses, and only a few hundred people escaped. Immediately, the Liao people and the army counterattacked, forcing Liu Yanqing to burn the camp and collapse itself, and the 200,000 army was almost dead, it is said that there were so many corpses that there were mountains of corpses and bones within a hundred miles of Yanjing, and the blood flowed like a river, and the resentment in some places was so heavy that there was no life in seven or eight years!

Thinking of this, Deng Yun couldn't help but shiver, the chill was even better, and he let out a long sigh. He wondered, what could he do for those 200,000 lives?

When Deng Yun returned to Han Shizhong's camp. It's getting late, and it's time for dinner. Han Shizhong set up a seat in his tent to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Deng Yun and them. Han Shizhong and several generals under his command, as well as Yang Zaixing and other brothers, have been waiting for Deng Yun's return.

After Deng Yun heard about it, he rushed to Han Shizhong's tent, and saw everyone coming to greet him halfway. Deng Yun beat his spirits and showed a little smile. Han Shizhong couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw it, Yang Zaixing and Xu Qingyi also had sharp eyes, and saw that Deng Yun's demeanor was erratic, as if he had something on his mind, and was secretly worried.

Immediately, Deng Yun followed everyone back to Han Shizhong's tent, and all the way down, the big guys talked and laughed. Ji Qing and Huo Rui both asked about Tong Guan's summons, but Deng Yun brushed it off lightly, and then changed the topic. Yang Zaixing and Xu Qing's faces were slightly solemn, and the two of them secretly glanced at each other, both with dignified expressions. As for Han Shizhong, he was silent on the surface, talking to Deng Yunda and talking about some interesting things in the army. Don't look at the hardships of the military, but Han Shizhong and these people will have fun in the suffering, and Han Shizhong is close to the corporal on weekdays, and he is like a brother to his subordinates, and there are many interesting things. Everyone heard a lot of new and funny things, for example, Han Shizhong once tried to test the alertness of his soldiers, and in the middle of winter, while the big guys were taking a bath, he suddenly deliberately taught people to falsely report the enemy attack, so frightened that most people didn't care about drying their bodies, covered their clothes on their bodies, and ran out in a hurry, and were suddenly frozen by the gust of cold wind and almost turned into popsicles.

Unconsciously, everyone entered the tent one after another, Han Shizhong's tent was still simple, only some mats, a few sons, and two candlesticks, all of which were necessary things, and the decorations were even rarer. At Han Shizhong's signal, everyone sat down. After a while, the food was served. Han Shizhong introduced the generals under his command to Deng Yun, Deng Yun saluted them one by one, looked at those people, judging from the spirit, they were all honest and loyal heroes, which made people feel good. However, the so-called gathering of likes, thinking that Han Shizhong is such a peerless figure, the subordinates around him will not be those who are like them.

At present, the war is quite tight, and it is the front line, Han Shizhong has always governed the army strictly, and everyone has no drinking. After eating and eating, everyone talked and laughed again, and got along very well.

Suddenly, Han Shizhong's face sank, his eyes shone brightly, as if he could see through people's hearts, he said with a smile: "When my brother came back just now, he seemed to have something in his heart. In addition to your brothers, there are the brothers and sisters of the eldest brother, all of whom are trustworthy and faithful. If you can trust your eldest brother, you might as well talk about what is in your heart and let the big guy come together to share your worries. ”

As soon as Han Shizhong's words fell, everyone couldn't help but look at Deng Yun one after another. Deng Yun's face tightened, and he sighed: "Brother Xie cares." When I went to Captain Tong's place, most of the sergeants I saw along the way were sad and depressed, and they all felt homesick. It has been a few months since the army came, but the war was difficult to move, and not long ago our army had a fiasco, and I heard that there were so many dead and wounded that it was simply hell on earth.

I thought to myself that these sergeants are afraid, and their homesickness is getting worse day by day, and if they don't make changes, these sergeants may not even be as good as the rabble, but in case, when they encounter some fierce troops, they may collapse and scatter, and if the enemy fights desperately, it will be defeated!! ”

As Deng Yun's voice continued to fall, Han Shizhong's eyes became more and more bright, and after listening to it, he slapped a few shots and said sharply: "Brother is really the pride of the sky, this time you can see the biggest criticism of our army now!" To tell you the truth, I have already discussed this matter with Mrs. Tong. Why, not only did he not do the slightest act of encouragement, but he also did not reward or appease the army, and it seemed that he did not take the matter to heart at all.

Later, I found Liu Dutong, although Liu Dutong said some reassuring words to everyone, but the effect was not good. When he repeatedly wanted to ask Mrs. Tong for rewards, he was rejected by Mrs. Tong on the grounds of 'not making an inch of merit, how can you reward it'!

This may seem like a good reason, but it's too rigid. The way of using soldiers is to be dexterous and changeable. These sergeants traveled long distances and left their homes, which was already difficult. At the same time, due to the low morale of the previous defeat, not to mention the difficulty of fighting for many days, everyone was afraid of the battle and homesickness. At this time, giving some appropriate rewards can not only appease the morale of the army, but also take the opportunity to anger the three armies, why not!? ”

Han Shizhong said very excitedly, his eyes were wide open, full of sternness and indignation, and from his words, it is not difficult to see that he is a general who is well versed in the art of war and cares for sergeants!

When Yang Zaixing heard this, his eyes couldn't help but become sharp, and he said coldly: "These Jiān thieves and dog officials don't know how to march and fight, but they often hold heavy power. In their eyes, the sergeants under their command are not as good as grass mustard! If such an army does not fight, it may have been defeated by the enemy first!! ”
