To be more specific, it can be regarded as the night of the third day after the West Route Army forward Yang Keshi's army was defeated by the attack of Yelu Dashi, the commander of the Liao Army.
Location: On the north bank of the Baigou River, a large number of camps were set up by the Northern Song Dynasty's Western Route Army of Liaoning Expedition. The largest and middle one was the camp where the old Zhongxiangong Zhongshidao was located.
Compared to the past, when night falls.
Most of the sergeants in this camp have entered their tents early to rest.
There were only some night-watch soldiers standing guard around the camp, and there were also Yu Hou patrolling with a large number of heavily armed soldiers. It was a rather quiet scene.
Tonight, the camp was very lively.
All the reasons are due to the fact that a simple stage was recently built in an open space in the camp.
On the stage, the warehouse manager, who was now considered a skilled veteran actor, was wearing a tattered robe, with a hunched back and a red rope in his hand.
Facing Ali, who was dressed as a village girl in front of her, she sang loudly:
"My daughter has a flower to wear, but my father doesn't have enough money to buy it. So he tied it with a two-foot red cord and tied it with my Xi'er~"
Nightlife in the Northern Song Dynasty was originally quite poor; rich people could still go to Goulan to listen to music, drink wine and so on.
At least here in the West Route Army, it became a big hit immediately after the first day of performance; and it became more and more popular. Wherever the main actors such as A Li went, they would be warmly greeted and talked about.
A sort of.
Standing at the door of the big tent, he looked at the stage from a distance, and the singing sounds from the mouths of the warehouse manager and Ali kept faintly falling into his ears.
Otherwise, why do you think the fertility rate was so frighteningly high at that time? Idleness is just idleness.
But in the camps in other areas, other Song Army soldiers who heard such a movement did not have any surprised expressions on their faces.
The official family spent a lot of money and granted the title of prince; in the history of the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, it can be said that it is unprecedented for a person with a foreign surname to be crowned king.
At this point in the performance tonight, we finally arrived at the main camp...
It must be admitted that although the level of the warehouse management and other cast and crew members is a bit worse, after watching "The White-Haired Girl", the morale of the soldiers in the army has obviously improved tremendously.
The military attachés at all levels in the army are not stupid, so naturally they saw this benefit one after another.
After giving such an evaluation, he returned to the big tent without looking back. After sitting on a bench, under the illumination of several tallow candles, he began to study it seriously.
Zhang Yanyun’s map of the sixteen states.
Because of these inside stories, I naturally know how bad the current situation of the army is; I am not in the mood to care about the trivial matters of actors like Hu Biao.
While it's refreshing for them, wouldn't it be normal for them to become obsessed with it?
Although he did not explicitly pull back, he originally had 10% of his strength, but only used 20 to 30% of his strength; in order to allow the generals of the Western Army to get better in this battle against the Liao Dynasty.
More benefits.
That one is a dead eunuch who must have done anything to be crowned king.
You know! In order to regain the Han family’s homeland in the sixteen states of Yanyun.
Matching the relevant background, the face of Ali, who looks like a village girl, is full of a bright and innocent smile.
So in the following time, every night they were in a camp, performing a big show, and then mobilized the soldiers.
He began to proactively invite Hu Biao and the others, and from then on every night they staged a drama like "The White-Haired Girl" in different camps.
It's just that Tong Guan has always had a bad relationship with the generals of their Western Army, and has always intended to suppress and divide their Western Army.
After years of developing inertial thinking, I made such a decision:
Try to save your troops and horses as much as possible. As long as you have the troops and horses in hand, the officials of the imperial court and all the princes will still be unable to do anything to them, even if they are defeated in the battle against Liao.
But poor people basically fall asleep at night.
Sometimes, because there are too many invitations, I may have to work overtime or perform an extra performance.
Not to mention, with his identity and status, he knows more about the inside stories inside and outside the current battlefield.
After the two sounds were intertwined, in such a quiet night, they immediately spread far away.
What Hu Biao and Yang Dongli cannot know is that it will be more convenient for them to meet and deal with each other in the future.
*****
But at this moment, I was sitting in the audience, chatting and laughing with some commanders of the Western Army's middle camp, and these middle and low-level military attaches were chatting and laughing, which could be regarded as a closer relationship.
So under such a situation, a drama like "The White-Haired Girl" suddenly appeared, which was novel, down-to-earth, and even seemed to be a story that happened around them.
If the environment were changed to the military, especially an elite unit like the Western Army, because the military regulations are more stringent, there would naturally be no other entertainment programs at all at night.
There is no intention of getting a seat before going to the stage to take a good look.
In general, Hu Biao gave him the impression that he was a somewhat talented cannon fodder military attache; the low-level officers under him were just some actors.
Therefore, in this battle against the Liao Dynasty, a group of generals of the Western Army acted with his tacit approval.
Cang Guan's singing was not completely finished, and he was suddenly in the audience.
If there must be any expression on their faces, it would be deep envy and expectation.
If you think carefully about the current scene, it seems to be a logical thing.
They are just some actors, and they are not even qualified to meet him.
So after a little hesitation, I simply agreed to such an invitation.
Because he had sung it many times, the song was already somewhat emotional. The warehouse manager took the red rope in his hand and started gesticulating on Ali's head.
Even now, as June 3rd is getting closer and closer, their time is becoming more and more precious.
After receiving the news, Zhong Shidao thought of a terrifying possibility. If the battle against Liao was defeated, what would they, the generals of the Western Army, do?
After some thinking, it is not that difficult to cultivate the way of being a teacher.
This is indeed the case, because Hu Biao's behavior, style, and even the role they played were somewhat novel in front of this old gentleman, and they could improve the morale of the army.
But in the battle three days ago, Yang Keshi's Bailu soldiers were defeated.
After making some choices, the drama of "The White-Haired Girl" is still performed at least once every day.
One side has long made up its mind to maintain its strength, while the other side is determined to do so at all costs.
Several hundred meters behind them was the 71-year-old male Xiang Shidao, the biggest boss in the army.
Originally, I thought that in the Battle of Hubu Dagang, the Jurchens had already suffered 700,000 casualties, which meant that the remnants of the Liao people had lost all their essence and were no longer a threat at all.
As for more things, they are completely gone.
At this moment, he is being protected by a group of personal guards.
After a long time, he said lightly in his mouth:
"Hu Biao, Hu Yitong, right? It's interesting to be able to write such a kind of drama~"
But what they didn't expect was that the combat power of the Liao soldiers was so amazing.
At least No. 3,000 Western Army soldiers burst into loud cheers and clapped their hands wildly, giving out thunderous applause.
In other words, if Tong Guan, the commander-in-chief of the army, could successfully take back the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, he would really have reached the pinnacle of being an extremely popular minister in the Song Dynasty.
The so-called Yan Yan Army was separated from the Western Army by him, making the Western Army, which was a piece of iron, now a little less powerful than before.
Yes, that's right! The play "The White-Haired Girl" became a hit.
I am envious of my colleagues in the main camp for being able to watch such a big show as "The White-Haired Girl" tonight; I look forward to the day after tomorrow, or later, when the theater troupe can put on a show in their camp.
Correspondingly, Yanjing of the Liao State, after exhausting almost all the manpower on hand, mobilized a total of 30,000 troops and rushed to the Baigouhe battlefield at night to reinforce.
Hu Biao and others also considered this at the time:
If the morale of more Western Army soldiers can be improved when fighting the Liao Army, it will be a great benefit to their next plan.
In this way, it seems that the outcome of the subsequent war has been determined early on.
It can only be said that the court of the Northern Song Dynasty, whether it was the civil servants who actually managed this Guo Jia or the military attachés who protected this Guo Jia, they were basically all bad.
If you are destroyed by others, you are asking for it.
However, their people are not guilty, and the splendid civilization they created is not guilty and should not suffer the series of catastrophes that follow...
