All the armies joined forces, and the commander's camp was raised to the tent. All roads in the west of Beijing and north of the river visited the commander's tent to discuss good strategies. Wang Huan, the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief, sat upright with his arms open. Chen Zhu, Wu Bing and other generals from the west of Beijing were seated.
On the left, Wenda, Xiao Tang, Xue Yuanhui and other famous governors and commander-level generals sit on the right. Behind the two rows of generals are Wei Dingguo, Shan Yangui, Suo and other commander-level officers.
When Xiao Tang saw Chen Zhu, Wu Bingyi and other generals, although they were majestic, they were a little less imposing than the Zhongshan Anping Jiedu envoy Zhang Kai who was sitting in the deputy seat. The lone tiger opened his eyes and beard, and his expression was both military and majestic.
A bit like a green forest lord.
The coach, the old and romantic Wang Huan, who was sitting at the front, had gray hair on his temples. He was restrained, but his expression was much more easy-going. Even the domineering openness made all the generals present showed admiration for him.
In terms of officialdom, Wang Huan joined the army under the command of Zhong Shidao, the military envoy of the Western Yan Dynasty. He went through countless battles and battles, pacified Xiliang and was promoted to the position of Jiedu Envoy. He was able to achieve such feats in the Western Army of the Song Dynasty. However, all generals in the army
No one can mention Wang Huan without praising him as a good man.
According to folklore, when Wang Huan was young, he fell in love with He Lianlian, a high-ranking official in Luoyang, at first sight. However, He Lianlian was later sold by the madam to Xi Yanbian to take Gao Miao as his concubine. However, Wang Huan and He Lianlian were still infatuated with each other.
Don't change. Wang Huan endured the humiliation and made many extraordinary achievements, and finally killed Gao Miao, who had embezzled public funds and caused a shortage of military supplies. He reunited with He Lianlian and finally achieved success. It is not only the story of an ordinary man's inspirational counterattack, but also the story of a man who was in Goulan House in the past.
The lyrics and tune of "Showing off the Romantic King Huan Baihua Pavilion" are even more widely sung.
Xiao Tang also heard about many deeds of Wang Huan, the military governor of Henan and Hebei. This highly respected Wang Huan kept a low profile after receiving the honorary title of military governor, watching plays, admiring flowers, and exercising his muscles. Once the court
Only when he is ordered to come out of the mountain can everyone see the demeanor of this veteran who dominated the northwest.
Wang Huan also looked at Xiao Tang at this time. Xiao Tang hurriedly bowed down and bowed. Wang Huan smiled slightly and nodded kindly to Xiao Tang. Then he turned his eyes to the generals and opened his mouth and said: "Zhang Di in Mingzhou is rampant and has gathered tens of thousands of minions to wreak havoc.
.Now that the army is approaching, do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"
Wen Da stood up and reported to Wang Huan: "The Haojiao Shangguan learned that Zhang Dina's fellow gangsters gathered strong men from all walks of life, and they were really a mob. These days, the grass bandits heard that the army was coming, and they harassed and robbed Yecheng in various states.
Cheng'an, Guantao, Wei County and other counties have jurisdiction over Xiazhuang Town.
Just break the several strongholds in Zhang Diming Prefecture, lest the strong men under that guy scatter and become rogue bandits, and the people in the Hebei prefectures will suffer even more! In view of the humble duty, we should make camp step by step to clear out Daming Prefecture, and hope that
, En and other state thieves then invaded Mingzhou, plowed the courtyard and swept the holes to eliminate all the thieves."
Chen Zhu, the military supervisor of Zhengzhou, was impatient after hearing this. He was dispatched by the Privy Council to lead the army to suppress the bandits in southern Hebei. Zhang Di would be rewarded if he captured the bandits and returned to the court. How could he bother to delay the border in Hebei?
While Zhang Di personally led a large army to guard the Mingzhou Dazhai, he deployed more than a dozen groups of small and large bandits in Jizhou, Enzhou, Cizhou, Damingfu and other prefectures to plunder, wipe out the nearby thieves, and then go to seize the real owner.
How many months of marching do you have to endure? Thinking of this, Chen Zhu said: "It is the responsibility of the left-behind, command, and inspection departments under the jurisdiction of each state to guard one area and hunt down bandits and bandits. We will lead the army forward according to the official order."
I came here just to suppress the bandit Zhang Di, but why did I come to guard and patrol for you?"
When Wen Da heard what Chen Zhu said about the strange yin and yang, he felt a little angry in his heart and said: "Chen Dujian, that's not what you said. Our generals in the divisions of Hebei and Hebei are loyal to their duties and dare not neglect them. It's just Hedong and Hebei.
All the bandits on the road gathered together because of Zhang Dina's bandit, and the government sent a large army to catch all these bandits together, isn't it?"
Chen Zhu retorted and said: "You are loyal to your duty, don't you dare to neglect it? The army has not yet fought against the Mingzhou thieves, but they have defeated the Xiangzhou and Cizhou troops. Hey... you officers and generals from Hebei and Hebei are so capable.
, don’t you still want me to wait for the aftermath?”
Wen Da, Xue Yuanhui, Wei Dingguo and others were all angry when they heard Chen Zhu's taunting words. When they saw that they were about to argue with him, the deputy commander opened his mouth and shouted loudly: "How outrageous! The commander is in front, and colleagues are talking to each other. This will become a problem."
How indecent!?"
Seeing Zhang Zhang's anger and overwhelming momentum, Chen Zhu and other generals in the west of Beijing also stopped talking. Zhang Zhang then said to Wang Huan: "Old General Wang, I don't care how many thieves are harassing Zhuzhou and Town in order to delay me.
Army, if our army delays too much, wouldn't it play into the hands of the thieves? In my opinion, the army marched directly to several strongholds where Zhang Di was located in Mingzhou. The thieves' troops everywhere were no more than scabies. Once Zhang Di was eliminated,
The remaining thieves will be dispersed."
Wang Huan raised the corner of his mouth, pinched his beard and smiled: "Brother Zhang Kai, you and I are from the same side. I am only a few years older, so please don't call me 'old general' again. I will still return the favor."
I’m not convinced.”
Listening to Wang Huan's joke, his serious face couldn't help but smile. The tense atmosphere at the scene immediately relaxed a lot. Wang Huan smiled and turned his head and said to Xiao Tang: "I don't know what Superintendent Xiao is doing."
idea?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Tang, and Xiao Tang was also surprised. He didn't expect Wang Huan to directly call his name. Xiao Tang and Wang Huan's eyes met, and Wang Huan's eyes were full of consideration and encouragement.
, he made up his mind and said loudly: "There is an ancient saying: Between heaven and earth, there is nothing more valuable than people. The people are the foundation of the country, and the foundation is solid and peaceful. Even though the thieves are cunning, invading the people everywhere and trying to hinder our army, we can't
We don’t have to divide our troops to suppress it, otherwise even if we capture Zhang Di, we still fail to save countless people who should be spared from the disaster of swords and weapons. How can we feel at ease?"
After hearing this, Wang Huan nodded. He stood up, looked around at the generals, and said meaningfully: "What Xiao Superintendent said is very much what I want. Although what brother Zhang Kai said is correct, it is a scourge of thieves."
People, how can we remain indifferent? Generals who join the army and receive royal salary are just for promotion and wealth, or are they to protect the territory of our Song Dynasty and the people of our Song Dynasty!?
I have made up my mind. Dujian Chen and Dujian Wu will lead the troops of Zheng and Chen Erzhou to garrison Guangping to contain the pass between Mingzhou and Damingfu. Wen Dujian and Xue Tong will lead the fourth battalion of Damingfu and Gaotangzhou soldiers and horses to Enzhou.
Deputy Commander Zhang led four battalions of troops to Jizhou. After I, Superintendent Xiao and Dezhou soldiers and horses went to Daming Mansion to eliminate the bandits everywhere, the army encircled and marched all the way to Zhang Diming's Dazhai Dazhai!"
※
After the military meeting was over, it was already the first watch of Xu Shi. After Xiao Tang and Hua Rong had a talk, they were about to return to their tents to rest. Before Xiao Tang had gone far, he heard someone calling him to stop him.
When he looked over, he saw Wang Huan not far away with a personal entourage.
Xiao Tang hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I have never seen Wang Jiedu before."
Wang Huan smiled and waved his hand and said: "You don't need to be polite, Inspector Xiao. I heard your name many times in Bianliang, Tokyo. Now that I'm taking command of the expedition to Daming Mansion, I'm lucky enough to see you in person."
Seeing that Wang Huan had no airs, Xiao Tang felt even more fond of him. He laughed humbly and said: "Wang Jiedu killed the last general! How can the last general with such a small name be compared to the old days when he was crossing the northwest and pacifying the western Liangtu?"
Is the Fan Rebellion comparable to Wang Jiedu, the Xia people who fought countless bloody battles?"
"Why can't they be compared?" Wang Huan laughed and asked the person next to him: "Xiao Er, do you think of the lyrics and music that were popular in Goulanwashe in Bianliang, Henan, Yan'an and other places in Tokyo back then?
"
Wang Xiaoer, who was accompanying Wang Huan, was also a close friend of Wang Huan for a long time. Hearing Wang Huan's question, he laughed and said, "Isn't it just that the master is trying to show off his romantic style, Wang Huan's Baihua Pavilion, and build a remarkable official?"
What is the song to pay homage to the envoy? It’s just that the most popular song on the Gyeonggi, Hebei and Jingdong roads is ‘Xiao Renxia sent Jin Niang a thousand miles, and killed the nine-headed insect in the long street’!”
"Listen, time is still not forgiving..." Wang Huan shook his head and said: "The songs you made at Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower in Daming Mansion are also very suitable for me! To be honest, I will take advantage of this opportunity this time.
I came to this famous mansion with the opportunity of conquering Zhang Di, and I also want to see what kind of person Xiao Renxia is, who is well-known in Hebei and Jingdong."
Xiao Tang laughed and said, "It's just some weird skills in bamboo, silk, playing, singing and dancing. Wang Jiedu praised them so much. It really puts the general to shame."
"So what if you taste bamboo, tune silk, play songs and dance? It's not like you don't know my nickname of 'Lao Fengliu'." Wang Huan's eyes were full of smiles and he said to Xiao Tang: "I know your deeds.
Although the music you composed is not a kind of elegant music, after listening to it, I can probably know what kind of person you are. Now you and I have a good friendship... You are very much like me."
Xiao Tang knew that Wang Huan was indeed very fond of him when he said this. And when he heard about Wang Huan's life story, he also felt that this old romantic was once a handsome and freehand man.
Back then, Wang Huan and Xing He fell in love at first sight. They didn't care about her status as a brothel girl and being forced to be a concubine. She went through all kinds of dangers in a commoner's body and became a distinguished military officer. However, she still never forgot her original intention.
To find the love of my spring boudoir dream, this persistence alone has lived up to his reputation as an unruly and unrestrained romantic.?
Xiao Tang replied to Wang Huan: "The general also hopes to be like Wang Jiedu, free and unrestrained, and his life will be in vain."
"You are also an official of the imperial court now, so you naturally know that the officialdom is ups and downs, and there are many things you have no control over... But after listening to what you said today, I don't need to say anything more to you..." Wang Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and then
He said to me, "I'm chatting about teenage madness. Are you interested in competing with me?"
Xiao Tang was convinced. He was good at fists and feet, but his spear and stick skills, especially his horse fighting skills, were a bit inferior. Wang Huan was so strong that he could fight Lin Chong, the top master of Liangshan Heroes with a spear, for seventy or eighty rounds.
To determine the outcome, if you can get some tips from him on how to use guns and sticks, you will definitely benefit a lot!
"Since Wang Jiedu is interested, he will accompany him at the end of his life!"
Wang Huan laughed and asked his follower Wang Xiaoer to get two whistle sticks and threw one towards Xiao Tang. Xiao Tang caught it and said, "Please give me Wang Jiedu's advice!" The two of them started fighting together.
As the saying goes: Boxes are afraid of young people, and sticks are afraid of old wolves. Although a stick in Xiaotang can make tigers and tigers angry, but Wang Huan is like a stick shadow like a mountain, old and young advance and retreat, use his strength skillfully, and all his moves and attacks are just right, which is exactly what he has soaked in
A sophisticated technique that takes decades to hone the skills of a gun and stick.
The two fought for twenty or thirty times, and Wang Huan was about to strike with the whistle stick in his hand. Xiao Tang quickly blocked it with his stick, and then raised the stick and hit Wang Huan. Wang Huan took two steps forward, leading Xiao Tang's stick to attack.
Seeing that Xiao Tang's steps were disordered, he swung the tip of Xiao Tang's stick in an arc to the right, then turned the whistle stick with both hands to clasp the stick and hit it slightly. Xiao Tang was caught off guard and saw Wang Huan's whistle stick stuck a few inches in front of his forehead.
Stop.
Xiao Tang was sincerely convinced and said: "Wang Jiedu's stick skills are so good that he will be ashamed of himself in the end."
Wang Huan nodded, with a look of approval in his eyes, and said: "The spear and stick are not strong enough, so don't be impatient and use your best, and leave some room before coming again."
After that, Xiao Tang and Wang Huan came to a fight again. This time Xiao Tang figured out some ways, and the two fought for more than ten more rounds. Wang Huan's stick made it look like a rainbow drinking from the stream, and he rushed back to the defense room.
The strength is not wasted, the actual and the actual use is sharp. When performing the Stick Stick Technique, Xiao Tang suddenly felt that the force coming from the tip of the stick was continuous and layer by layer.
Suddenly, Wang Huan's move changed. The layer upon layer of circling stick shadows retreated a little, and he leaned forward, aiming to advance unstoppably and out of reach. Xiao Tang didn't mention that Wang Huan's stick move suddenly changed into a spear move. If it hadn't been for Wang Huan's move,
Huan withdrew his strength. If the whistle stick in his hand had been a spear equipped with a blade, Xiao Tang would have been shot to the death by Wang Huan.
"This time I got the strength right, but I can't adapt to the situation. I can't stop my moves. I also need to remember to stay calm and not move rashly, protect my whole body, and first benefit the invincible position, and then take advantage of the enemy's gap to attack his unpreparedness. Next time...
....”
...
After fighting Wang Huan four times, Xiao Tang clearly felt that every time he fought with Wang Huan, he seemed to gain new insights. After all, although Jin Tai and Tan Zhengfang had taught him some of his spear and stick skills back then, they could not
We are all from the martial arts world. Compared to Wang Huan, a veteran who has been fighting for half his life and has used guns for decades, Wang Huan's spear skills are more suitable for fighting with real swords and spears on the battlefield.
"Thanks to Wang Jiedu for enlightening me, I will benefit a lot in the future." Xiao Tang said with gratitude, clasping his fists to Wang Huan.
"It's been a long time since I've been able to stretch my muscles so freely. It's all thanks to my little friend." Wang Huan smiled and said, "It's getting late. I'd better rest up and go out to the army tomorrow. I'll discuss it with my little friend when I have free time.
.”
After saying that, Wang Huan floated away with his entourage. As he walked, he was still humming Xiao Tang's music that had been passed down from the Jinfeng Yululou Bandhouse to Tokyo Bianliang: "The sea laughs, the tides on both sides of the bank are rolling, and the ups and downs are just with the waves."
